Circuit Court of Dinuiddie,

This court has been occupied for the past three
or four days with the trial of Mary Andrews, u
young white woman, charged with burning tho

5. Keller, Esq. of Prince George, and our young
townsman John Y. Gholson, Esp, and the Com
monwealth was represented by james Boisseau,
Esq. After brief absence the jury returned
into court with verdict of guilty and affixed the
punishment at three years imprisonment in the
public Jail and pententiary house.

then decided to set aside the verdict of the jury
and grant new triGl.

sed will obtain bail before the adjournment of

The Kinney Nicaragua Erp,dition

MIR. Marcoleta. the Minister of Nicaragua, in
his letter charging this expedition with being a
tilibustering concern, says:
The numerous correspondence which exists in
the archives of this legation, as well as many
other documents | hold in my possession, prove
with the most positive evidence the ntrigucs. the
ornaments and the Interior projects of the un-
dertakers, under the appearance and the veil Of
peaceable colonization. So far from giving any
appreciation to these projects condemn and do
nounce them, in my official capacity, before the
good sense of the American people.
| have reliable information aud statements
which cause me TO believe, and to be convinced,
that the object of these phanthropists is trouble
TO public order and if they can, to overthrow
the government in Nicaragua.

4 Young Man Burnt to Death.

A very horrible affair occurred on the Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad on Thursday last. 1t
appears that by accident fire had been communi-
Gated TO a tract Of woodland belonging to judge
Dorsey, short distance above Elysville, and
burned over one hundred acres before the flames
were subdue !, causing considerable damage. A
young white man, apparently about % years of
aeo, had gone into the woods, gathering together
large pile of leaves in the cleft of some rocks
and laid down on them, having previously taken
off his coat and hanging it up on some bushes
The fire coming to him whilst asleep, soon en-
yeloped in flames, when he made outcries for
help, attracting the attention of several coored
men, who endeayored to rescue him. They put
down their hoes to him in the rocks, but the
smoke smothered and stifed him so much that
he could not hold on. and fell back burning to
death. His body was soon recovered but he was
stranger in the neighborhood and could not be
identified. The coat which he hung on bush
was sayed-it was made of grey casimer, and
on one of his fingers was a gold ring, marked
with the letters "A. A."

Good Neps from kana,rh1.

We have been favored with the following ex-
tract from letter received in this city (says the
Norfolk Bedcon) from prominent and well IN
formed gentleman in that county:
Mr. Wise was here on the 10Th ult and made
four hours speech, three of which were devoted
to "Sam." He said nothing that had not been re-
peated by him over and over again at other pla-
ces; friends and foes equally rejoced when
he concluded. doubt very much whether he is
giving himself strength any where by canvassing.
| am confident that he made less than nothing by
his effort in kanawha. Summers had ZOO ma
jority in this county-you may set 1t down from
400 to 1900 for Fournoy. | have had from
most of the Western counties reliable intorma-
ton, and have no hesitation in saying that they
will give from 300 to 5000 over the vote for
Summers. Wise makes capital out of his
course in the Convention don't believe that he
will get single vote on that account in the est.
Instead of building up character with us ON that
score, he takes rather the odum of misrepre
sentng his own section of the State. You must
not be frightened by the tales of the letter wri-
tiers from this section to the Enqurer-it is all

Niagara Suspension Bridge Visited by Tor
u11O


The Buffalo Democracy of the 18th instant in
an account of terrible tornado that swept
through that section of country on Wednesday
last, says:
At Niagara--mouth of the river--the extern
sive car mandatory of Branard, Pierce IL CO.,
was almost entirely demolished; damage about
100000. The building was of wood, some 200
feet long, and about 20 wide. A great number
of dwellings, were unroofed. and some utterly
ruined. The gable end of the Scotch Presbyte-
ran church was blown in, slick and clean, and the
building generally injured. A daguerrean stand
ing in the street was keeed over, and the artist
and his little son, seriously hurt, the latter sup
posed fatally. A railroad car standing the
track was lifted up bodily, and carried some four
rods. The schooners, seen just before the blow
came up, off Niagara, were not to be seen after
it had passed over. and were supposed to have
foundered.
At the Suspension Bridge the blow was most
violent doing more or less damaged. The men
who had lust commenced work on the bridge,
painting, &c, ran off when they saw the gale
coming and some were blown violently from one
side to the other; one narrowly escaped being
blown over in the river. The wind howled and
screamed through the gorge, with perfect rush.
The bridge, however, sustained not the slightest
injury, and no vibration was perceptible when the
gale was at its highest pitch.
