Judge Kelley, claiming to have obtained evidence showing Brown to have been a desperate character, and that he Had previously been guilty of murderous assaults upon several por tions. Judge Pierce, in deciding against the rule^to reconsider, said that the evidence submitted at tlie trial created the impression tliut the act wus com mitted while the prisoner was under the intluuncenf liquor, so as to reduce the offense from an intent to take life to an assault anil wounding, and other evidence. He sentenced the prisoner, that a sentence affecting the personal liberty of a party was too solemn to be supposed to liave been upon a light consideration, find tliut the administration of justice might assume the aspect of vengeance, if in such a case a sentence solemnly im- poseit iqipn evidence submitted should be set aside, and a greater sentence imposed.

J London, December 30.—Tlie New Times of St. Petersburg produces va rious reports current in foreign newspapers, tHat England intends to occupy certain |Kiints in the East,and among others is GuHinoli, Constan tinople and Batoum. The New Times considers that the occupation of Con- stantlnopleor Batoum will bo equiva lent ton declaration of war. The semi-official Agenee Russr says the report that England lias notified the Powers of her intention to occupy certain stations in tlie East is incor rect. The English Government lias simply expressed to the Russian Cabi net its apprehension that a lUissian occupation of Constantinople, though merely provisional, would so excite English public opinion that tlie Gov ernment would be compelled to take certain precautionary measures. Tbe Agenee Russe adds that the Britisli Government lias not specified what the measures would be, hut they cannot be those cited by the New Times, ns it would he impossi ble to take such measures without a declaration of war. Relative to the reports concerning English meditation, the Agenee Russe points out tliut according to international law, mediation is only |>o.-ihie when solicited by both bel ligerents. Russia, though always ready to listen to any overtures which the Porte might address to her direct, bus never done anything to show she had any intention of accepting medi ation. The London Observer says: Wo believe tlie tlovernmcnt tin to h recent date intended immediately upon the reassembling of Parliament to intro duce a series of resolutions, defining certain general principals in tregard to the attitude of England on tlio Eastern question und the Riihso- Turklsh war, and s|«sdfvlng the mode In which these principals wore to lie upplied. if 1‘ariiuiuenl approved the resolutions, the Government Welby’s woolen mills at Western are meant to occupy Gallipoli not us an burnsd.

Some particulars of the arrest at St. John, N. B., of one Charles Chapman alias John Miller, on the charge of forgery committed in this State, nave appeared. Tho Boston correspondent, of the New York Herald, in the issue of the 26th Inst, of tliat paper, gives an account of the exploits of this in dividual in several Eastern cities, which will he read with interest. The correspondent, referring to tflc* brief dispatch sent from Washington last Sunday, that a request had been made on this Government for extradition papers, with which to bring away from St. John, N. B., an accomplished swindler answering to the impressive name of John Hooper Boggs, says: “This individual, as many Massa chusetts people can now affirm, is ono of tho most clever and remarka ble villains of the period. His true name is as above given, but he has gone at- different places under the various aliases of John Miller, Major John Thomas and Charles Chapman. Ho lias, perhaps, Just turned forty, is of medium height, stout build, and a trifle inclined to he portly, weighing, i>erhupM, two hundred pounds. His head is shapely, with an incidental bald spot around his dark lmir, which he always has cropped short, and has a trifle of wave in it. His complex ion is healthily florid, and he wears a handsome dark moustache; ills eye is bright, his manner frank, intelli gent und attractive. A CAREER OF CRIME AND SCANDAL. “His life seems always to have been one of vice and deceit, so far as ho could make it profitable, and in this respect he has been pretty successful. He always puts up at the best hotels, and gives an outward impression that he Is a prosperous and liberal million aire. Here in Boston he hoarded at the Revere, had the finest apartments in the house, and nuuiuged to gain access to some of the most refitted and aristocratic circles ofthe city. “Asthe story goes, Boggs was horn in Queen Anne county, aid., where lie married a Miss Miller, daughter of the local minister, hv whom he had two children. Just before the open ing ofthe war he forged heavily, de serted his family and fled South. Af ter the war lie turned up at Augusta, Ga., having ussiimed the name of his deserted wife, Miller, as we must now call him, was agent for two insurance companies, which lie swindled in a dozen years out of about sixty thou sand dollars by forgery and embezzle ment. He also married another wife, by whom he had five children. Mil ler finally passed forged notes on Jas. G. Bailey «x Bros., intimate friends, and left Augusta. He next turned up at rharleston, S. ('., and with the heln of a pal, victimized u Catholic Bishop out of thirty thousand dollars. He is thought to have gone thence to California, hut turned up in New England lust January. He lived handsomely at the Revere, and went to Worcester ami Springfield as Maj. Thomas. AT MARTHA’S VINEYARD. “He was a somewhat notable at traction at Martha’s Vineyard last season, being accompanied by a young and stunning woman, who claimed to lie a rich Buffalo (N. Y.) widow, and the pair gave the most elegant entertainments possible. About this time Major Thomas won the confi dence and money of a Springfield drummer, and he proved a “laxly killer,” to the disgust of certain gen tlemen from this part of the country, It Is said. It is also thought that lie was concerned in the big diamond robberies that took place at the Vine yard about this time. But Thomas was recognized by an Augusta (Ga.) mail, to whom he explained that he assumed his present name because he was living with a woman not his wife. The swindled Augusta parties were notified, and the chase after the forger began which bus just ended in Ids capture. REQUISITES FOR A ROGUE. “He hud a most retentive memory, was accomplished, studiously polite and carefully agreeable. He rather overdid the business at first so us to bring suspicion upon himself, hut soon dispelled it with great art. Of course there are people who now say they always knew him to he a villain. But the degree of confidence that Thoinus everywhere inspired seems to have been no less remarkable than the success with which he carried out his crimes. While here he pretended to he a New York lawyer, settling up the estate of a ward in the metropolis. He is also said to have had two thous and dollars deposited ill the Chicopee Bank. A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. “One of his dashing and accom plished female companions, ‘Mrs. Webb.’ created considerable excite ment in the social circles of Salem.
