The ItroWcn Bond. Hundreds of onr yoiuh who have read 'WirlV graphic life ol I'atr'ck Henry, have ■dually snpp r«.;d the effects ascribed by the inimitable biogrepher to Urn.powers of that eelf-tangli*. orator’s eloquence, in the parson cause, ihc beef cause, and the storm scene in the House of Burgesses of Virginia, on the adoption of tho Federal Constitution, to b; mere fantasies of the writer’s brain, and out oi the question in the practice of real life To those who have never witnessed the force of eloquence upon the minds of n listening multitude, such inference may certainly ap pear natural and very i xcnsiiblo; especially if they had not the pleasure of knowing the ex alted character &■ pure purpose of Mr. Wirt; but for others to doubt the veracity of In pen, seems very much like questioning one's own existence. Patrick Henry, however, is not the only orator of our inlnnt republic, who, by the force of eloquence, has cleared the courts of justice and the balls of legislation. And to hack this assertion, wo here odor the simple story of the events connected with the “Br«- ken /fond, ’ referred to at the head of this ar ticle. .lust before the war of the revolution, Dea con Dudley of New I Inmpsbin - , m.-compa mod Z.diinn (1. his neighboring merchant, to the town of /ioston. Them they celled on Mr. F raz or, n large importer id foreign fa brief; with whom Mr. <!, was in the habit of dealing. The deacon, ibimehilnl and en terprising, proposed trade also; hut the wary c:lizeu declined the purchase id les butternut and hickory pills, Ins kegs of pickle.l trout, and bales of peltry; but finally c.\|):'e>-ed Ins wish to purchase' a drove id cats, lor a plop which ho was moot to send to n quartern! tin; 'world where the animal was unknown. Bn! mol ibe crafty purchaser, they inn; Ibe train ed to the whip, had to regular marches across the country to step beard, and then to a mar itrt in tomigu trade. The Deacon tboiignt of the offer, and concluded that a»- horse- - , mules, horned cattle, sheep, bogs and link e: had been trained and driven by thousands across tho country to a market, be could not sec why the cat alsonrglit not be (rained for the same purpose. At all events if ho could not drive them, ho was sum ho could train them to follow him, ter his old h nh often fol lowed him to the fields and woods. He there- Toro concluded to furnish the drove of cats. A ■bond wnadrnwn and executed, and a large enm of money was advanced, in order to ena ble him to prosecuto bis arrangement. On reaching Ins home, the Deacon immediately (prepared a room m his garret, and began to 'collect bis drove, exercising them every mor ning under the cruel; and lash of bis lung ■wine, to regular marches round I,ho room. Toe p an operated favorably while the nuin !ber of cats were small, and the space suffi. cicnl. for free movement; but when he had as sembled a large number, opposition arose; and when the whip was applied to force ohe slicnce, the whole mass, as by common con sent and simultaneous movement, pounced 'upon the poor Deacon, and would have torn 'him piecemeal, but for the timely aid r.f the family, who roused by the noise, buret the 'door of the chamber, and allowed the cats to ■•escape. The Deacon fortunately survived Ins wounds, returned the money advanced "him by Frazier through the agency of lus , •neighbor C., and relinquished the contract. The war which ensued called tho whole strength of tho country into the battle-field, •and both the high contracting parties to the ■cat contract, did tlicir country Home little service;. Some ten years after the pence of 17811, Frazier, on closing Ins business, journeyed through the interior to collect lit- balances; and among the rest called (Millie 1), aeon for the fulfilment ol his bond, demanding tho amount of advance (which the country mer chant had ncvir returned,) with interest, Hid a heavy sum as smart money, lor neglectin'* to perforin Ins covenant. ( This was like a thunderbolt In tho ears of , the poor Deacon, who had not once doubled [ but that the merchant’s unmey had been , promptly returned, ami the bund cancelled, ('resuming there must be some mistake in the * matter, be resisted payment; and an action ' was instituted to enforce tho demand. The ‘ cause was brought to an issue at lint village I ol Kerne, where the good people had just finished a new and tuneful church, and had j 1 turned the old one elevated some eight or ten I leet upon agrande foundation over to tlio ' ’ purposes of justice. The I) aeon, when be I 1 found himself drawn into the luv, employed ! ' the slick headed, eagle eyed, ami eloquent l ' Ben. West to defend his cause; and imamstl him had been pitied the young and brilliant .1. Mason. From tbe singular cbaruot- rof tie j case, the parties litigant, and the high stand- : mg of the counsel emploved, a geio» al inter est had been excited; and women and children thronged the house to literal stuffing, to hear the story of the Broken Bond. The pleadings wore opened by Voting Ma son, with a bold flourish of anticipated triumph, frequently mingled with a lurking surer at any aeriuo-attempt at defence—and ho was replied to by the grave and stubborn charge ot a direct and pn modiiivtod attempt upon ibr life ol the venerable Deacon—an officer, who j in those days and among that peop'o. stood n •acred relation to (be church, next to the mi- i mster. To sustain ibis charge, the wily counsel J fust hold the princely c ad and hi I powdered merchant up to the gaze oft lie court mid-crowd, | as an old notorious and experienced oat dealer, 1 familiar with all their future,and s i long no- : mured to their society, as to have numbed 1 most of the.r nature—( lodging that it shut up alone in tho jury’s lobby, bu would instintlv ; tnew lor bis old companions. Tins brought a tremendous burst of irrepressible laughter from the who e crowd, and set the bench in a perceptible titter. When the fit had Innly ' subsided, l>e adroitly changed his key, and pre sented the unoffending, grey headed Deacon, cast helpfess upon the ll.nir, beset bv a hun dred furious animals, made desperate by hun ger and long confinement—same fastened up on this throat, sucking out ins life biood, oth ers upon fns body, tearing away the flesh, and oibers at Ins lace, gvdimg ms checks ami tearing out his eyes with tl.eir claws. II s pe culiar picture brought tho whole scene bet..re (lie eyes of the court,lie jury ami me people, whose sympathy was sxcited to a shower o' tears, coinining'ed wi'h audible im.iu»ti i.- on the heads of the vvre'ch who bud plotted the mischief.

The Defendant, a relative of the distinguished and eloquent Irish Patriot, whoso name he bears, ia a Lieutenant in the IJ. Elates Navy While on service in tho United States Brig Porpoise, in the waters of our port, in October ISDG, lie was so unfortunate as to cause the death of George W Palmer, under the follow ing circumstances, which wo derive from the ev idence givnn at this Court by Mr. George May. acting purser oTlhc Porpoise, and the friend of the late Dr. Palmer. Mr, May wm the principal wi ness of the Government, Mr. Hooe was act, itig R liling Master of the Porpoise, in the linn of whose duty it is to taice charge of the hold of the ves-rd, to provide and account fir the w Per and s'ore-i. While the vessel was lying off St. Sim* tin’s Island, at the invitation of Hon. Thomas Butler King, the sink were re moved to his plan - tation hospital on that Island. Upon the same invitation to the officers of the Porpoise to cslab | lis>lt themselves at Mr, King’s house, the deceased . D'. Palmer and witness, were residing on the Is land. On the morning of the 2Glh Oct. Mr. Hod! was ordered on shore In complete the wa tering of the Brig. At (lie date in question Mr May first saw him upon being suddenly awaked, while yet in his bed about half past six o’clock, by the mdse of a affray in the room adjoining his bed room,—lie, May, sprung into the room and saw Dr. PalniT nearly naked, clothed only with his drawers, in the corner of the room, and upon the pio-strate body of Mr, Hoop. Mr. May called at the window to the sailors who were at the neighboring well, employed by Mr. Hooe in the watering party, for assistance. They entered the dressing room and Mr. May succeeded in se parating the deceased and Mr Hooe. Tint do. ceased being a powerful and athletic man and excited by the most violent passion, was con trolled with much d flicully and by the exertion of great force: Mr. Hooe was an invalid and was quite manageable. Dr. Palmer was forced from the room and locked in one adjoining. Thus ended the first assault. Mr May then secured the guns which were in the entry, and returned to Mr Hooe, begging him not to shoot Dr Palmer. Mr. Hooe replied that he was armed only in self-defence and should not use his weapons unlest attacked,—While hu i was engaged in this conversation with Mr. Hooe I and about two or three minutes alter lie had con fined him, the deceased rushed into the room, still undressed with a heavy pair of tongs in his hands, of the size of those produced, which are three feet long, and weigh six pounds, but which Mr. May is not able positively to identity. The deceased clubbed the tongs and stiuek rapidly and violently at Mr. Hook’s head throe or four times. Ho succeeded in striking Mr. Hooe to the floor and leaping upon him in the corner, again raised the tongs to strike. At that time Mr May had hold of the pistol which Mr Hooe had drawn. Mr Hooe cxcia fined ho is killing me. Mr May then released the'pistol believing that .Mr. Hooe was about to he killed. Mr Hooe then said, 'clear (lie way I’m going to fire,’ or j words to that eflbct and Ihcd, as he was lying on I the floor raise I upon his Jett side. The ball struck Dr. Palmer in the right breast and passed 1 through him. After being shot the Dr. struck two or three blows and then reeled and fell into the arms of a seaman standing near. Dr. Pal mer said ho was dying and gaVa a message of remembrance to Ids wife, hi.-, child and his father. Mr Aiay had him removed to the bed in llie m.xt room, where ho lived twelve days, and witness lias no doubt that he died in consequence of the wound received from Mr. Hooe. Three of the sailors of the Propoise next gave their evidence, only confirming the above testi mony of Mr. May, and this closed the evidence on the part of the Government. On the part of the Defendant, Comander Ramsay only, was called, who testified warmly lit Air. Hooc’s character and reputation as a gen. floman'v, valuable and ellicicnt olficcr.—He ■( on to Mate that in the previous misundcr ’’'vh he was aware had existed be* standing, w,.- , , lr jM mcr the conduct of tween Mr Hooe arm _ „ -lumsiblc; but (lie deceased had been highly - . |j C , litis evidence was ruled out by the bu», rl ’ “ ■ ing immaterial to be issue.

At this stage (if she trial the counsel on the part of the State, and of the private prossccution, after consultation agreed to abandon the case, and that it, should go to the Jury upon the charge of I the Judge. The Judge then regretting the suddenness of the call, recapitulated the evidence to the Jury and charged the Jury decidedly in favor of the Defendant. The Jury retired at half past eight Tuesday, P. M., and after an absence of an hour returned a verdict of Guilty. This verdict excited great astonishment and notice of a motion for a now trial was imrnedi- j utcly given. Wednesday morning, 18th April. The coun. I sol for the defendant presented their motion for ) a new trial, with the alfidavit of the bailin', who | hud charge of the Jury, that on the 17th instant, | and before any evidence had been submitted to j the Jury, lie heard one of the Jury, John J Mor. j gan, dot-hire that ho would “slay in the jury ! room one while but that Mr, Hooe should go to j j the Penitentiary.” The alfidavit of John Summerlin, one of the jurors, was also presented to the Court, testifying that after the Jury had reified, John I’. May, an other of the jurors, produced from his pocket a letter purporting to bo from Mr. Hooe to Col. Duhignon, the contents of which letter as slated to him by the said May, decided his mind to coni sent to the verdict rendered. The Court severely reprimanded the Jury who ! we understand provided themselves with liquor, for their conduct in the Jury room, which it was willing to believe, proceeded rather from igno rance thau witfulness, and without hesitation granted the motion fora new trial. Noth nv tiik Enrron of the Anverx-fii. In presenting the above report of this trial to the public, ilia Editor tias felt obliged only to give on account of those facts w hich were devel oped in open court, excluding such as were bl ithe Court ruled ou'. Justice to Mr. Hooe, how. | eve,, requires that his conduct subsequent to I ibis unhappy and fatal occurrence, should be j made known. On the diy after the afl’ ay. Mr. I Hooe wrote to the magistrates of St. Simon’s Is | land, surrendering himself to any examination I they might think proper to make. They did not i arrest him, and after rein fining a week longer a ■ and about S-. Simon’s he was ordered t> Wash. , mgvn by his comm cider.

Governor Schley expressed his regret that he had made the requisition upon insufficient evi denco and e;;pressed his readiness himself to re cognize for M r . Hones appearance at Court. The recognizances were made at Millcdgcville, in j the lowest sum ilia law allows 5)2500. and Mr. < Hooc has since attended at two terms of this Court with no other desirn than for a fair trial.
