Case of the Brig Echo.

New York, Sept. 23.-The Baltimore
Patriot states that the brig Echo arrived in
that city in command of the mate Mr.. Heede,
the captain having run away from the vessel.
The brig belongs to Messrs. Stirling & Ahrends
OF this city, from whom she was chartered by
Baitland, Phelps & Co. of New York A cargo
valued at $4,000 or $4,000, was shipped on
board the brig, which cleared in command of
Capt. VIM S. Clough, in July last for Trni-
dad. In addition to the cargo, the Echo had
three passengers, besides five or six children,
who were going to Trinidad. Instead of going
to that port, the captain stopped at Barbadoes
where all the passengers were landed, the
captain giving each of them drafts on
Messrs. Sterling & Ahrens, the owners of the
vessels, i'll sufficient amounts to cover their
expense, which they mi ght sustain by not go
ing to their original destination He then
sailed for Guadalupe, where he endeavored to
dispose of the cargo, but not succeeding, in
few hours he proceeded to st. Thomas, and
put the cargo in the hands of j. i. Perminstire
& Co., mercantile house on that island. The
firm gave him a letter of credit for $1,000, on
account of MesSrs. Sterling & Ahrens, who
have received advices that he had negotiated
the letter of credit at Mayaguey, which place
he sailed to from ST. Thomas, After transact
ing the latter business, he represented that he
was going to Turks Island to procure a cargo
of salt, but instead thereof, he sailed for Kings
ton, Jamaica, where he abSconded in company
with a female whom he had taken on board of
the brig at quarantine, on the same day that he
sailed from Baltimore. AS he took passage in
a vessel bound for Aspinwall, it is supposed he
is on the way either to California or the Sand
witch Islands.

Damage by Freshets.

EAsToN, Pa, Sept 23.-The Lehigh and
Delaware rivers are both rising rapidly A Sc
rous break in the Delaware Canal at Yarde-
vile is reported. 1t is said that forty feet O
the embankment are washed away. The food
is subsiding in Eastern Pennsylvania, and the
Reading Railroad trains are now running reg
ularly on time. All the canals are overrun
and the boats are not able to run. Several
bridges are also gone.
MAUNcH CHUNoK, Pa, Sept 23.-The
heavy rains which have fallen in this vicinity
during the whole week, have raised the lie
high river fully eight feet above its ordinrry
mark. Our streets are overhowed with wa
ter, being from one to three feet in depth, anC
all our cellars are flowed Citizens are NOV
ing about in boats, saving what property they
can. 1t is impossible now to estimate the
damage, but it must be immense.
The damage to the East Pennsylvania ant
Lehigh Valley Railroad has been repaired, ant
trains are running regularly.

A Burglar at Concord.

CONCORD, ~ H., Sept. 23-The jewelry
store of N. H. Carr, and the grocery of Odlin
: Hardy, were last night entered by burglar,
but nothing was stolen. In both cases en-
trance was effected by breaking a large light
of glass in the front window, and both doubt
less, were the work of one man. He had drill
ed one hole through the safe doris of Mr. Carr,
and commenced another, when he was proba-
bly, frightened and left. In the store of Odlin
& Harvey he was preparing to blast open the
door of the safe by filling the key whole with
powder, when he was detected by citizen on
the opposite side of the street, who heard the
breaking of glass, and who gave the alarm.
Several men responded. The burglar broke
through another large light of glass, in another
direction, and leaped to the sidewalk, receiving
sundry blows from those nearest, who tried to
secure him but, the weather being dark and
stormy, he escaped. leaving behind an extern
sive set of burglars tools, a coal cap, and one
shoe This was about 2 A. M. About
o'clock the officers arrested man at the
American House. who had booked his name as
W. IL. Allen, Worcester, Mass.
Eoening-W. II. Allen, the supposed bur.
glar, was brought before the Police Court this
afternoon, and, for want of $1,000 bonds, was
committed to appear before the Supreme Judi
cial Court at the next February term.

TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY
lAmerican Telegraph Office. Lincoln House Block.l


WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Perry Nc d. Bal
Inns, Esq, consular agent at AmoOr, river in
Asiatic Russia, has arrived in this city and
expects to sail in the course of few DAYS on
his return thther, by the way of st. Peters
burg. 1t appears from his statement, that the
American commerce at the Amoor is steadily
increasing, several ships having sailed from
the United States to participate this year in its
rich trade. They have taken out assorted
cargoes OF merchandise, including cotton
goods, wines, liquors. ships stores and chand-
lery, all kinds of hardware, machinery, steam
engines, &c. There are now on the waters of
the Amoor five steamers, built in this country
a russian officer, Capt. Davendorf, at pres
ent IN New York, is experimenting the con.
structlon OF steam engines and machinery, to
be placed in gun-boats to be constructed on the
Amor, which is navigable for steamboats, at
least $500 miles. The climate is similar to
northwest Canada, and the agricultural pro-
ductions about the same The principal value
OF the country, as yet developed is Tor its
furs and minerals, but when the steam naviga-
ton shall be fully established, the trade
will be immeasurable in other productions,
and Siberia and Tartary will add their
treasures to those OF the Amoor country.
From Moscow to the head of the Amoor,
distance of four thousand miles, are upwards
of five hundred cities towns and villages of
industrious inhabitants. The Amoor country
this year sent to the Amoor river three or
four vessels with full cargoes, together with
iron steamers, to initiate their project, viz the
union of the mouth of the Amoor with Siber-
ia by regular line of steam packets. The
present ukase of the Emperor of Russia
prompting Siberian exiles to emigrate to the
Amoor, is with view of settling the shores of
the river, and developing the resources of the
country. The construction of railroads is
contemplated, and also lines of telegraph con
meeting with Moscow and other distant points
All these movements of the Russian govern
ment are to be regarded with great interest, as
they cannot fail to open American commerce
large and valuable market to many of our
manufactures. Considering our diversified in
terests, including those of whaling liz the North
Pacific, and contiguous to Siberia and the
Amor, the opinion prevails that we should
have a consul general instead of a consular
officer of comparatively an insignificant salary.

The SICKLEs NERDICr.--The Jury have &c
quilted Mr.. Sickles; they have upon their con
science Pronounced him not guilty. SickIcs
killed Key not on sudden provocation After
days of reflection, and with remarkable cool
ness, well provided with variety of deadly
weapons. he approached Key and shot him
down in the public street. The defence failed
to prove insanity, and when under these cir
eumstances the jury declared the prisoner anot
guilty, their verdict must have been the re-
suit of a conviction that the killing Of key by
Sickles was not murder within the meaning of
the law. The jury, therefore, constituted them
selves judges of the law, and arrogsted to them
selves the function belonging 10 the legislator,
while according to the fundamental principle
Of the trial by jury, as understood in every
civilized country, the jury are to Judge Of the
facts simply and exclusively. Had the legis-
latOr intended TO invest any man who may
to kill the accomplice of her guilt, be wo1ld
have made special and explicit provision for
such cases. His not having done so, the
logical inference is that he wished any de-
liberate killing, under the circumstances men,
toned, TO be interpreted rs murder. II is
Of the highest consequence that the errors of
public opinion on this subject should be cor
rected. No individual can be allowed, under
whatever circumstances, TO take the law into
bis own hands, without subverting the funda-
mental principles Of all law, and society relaps-
ing into barbarism. If the existing law is not
sufficiently repressive Of adultery, let the law
be changed, and the authority of the courts bo
maintained, but let not murder be sanctioned
because the law is inadequate. "
