Watkins, on an indictment charging the
li aduleiu obtaining of two thousand dollars
from Rich and Harris, Navy Agents, Bos

Washington City, July 28.
Case of T. Watkins.- The opinion of
the Coin * was yesterday delivered by Chief
Judge Crunch, on the motion for a facias
dc novo on the indictment against T. Wat
kins in the 730 dollar case. The motion
was granted—tue verdict is set aside—and
anew trial ordered. The Judge stated

MRS. ROYAL,
The following extract of a letter from
their Washington Correspondent, to tlio
Editors of the Now-York Commercial Ad
vertiser, contains a very graphic sketch of
a part of the evidence given in t|ie case of
]\]rs. Royal on her late trial as a common
scold. It will doubtless he agreeable to
those who can enjoy a joke.
“The testimony on the part of the pros -
ecution being closed, that on behalf of tne
prisoner followed-”-and heie the faicical
pari of the scene commenced. She had
sent a summons for her pledged friend the
president; but he did not wish to figure in
such a field, and ho was very properly ex
cused not so his Secretary; a summons prov
ing ineffectual, she issued a suhpeena, when
i>” All. Eatop, nolens volcns , had to make
his appearance. Being pressed for time
he w• *s permitted to give his evidence out
of ij n. L was delivered in short melte,
with u<> great appearance of delight. It
anion nted'in fart to nothing, being merely
tii it when Airs. Royal was in his loom, she
was not guilty of any misconduct. An
Irishman by t|je name of Uolluliao, wa
next called.—This man is engaged in dig
j jjing down a hank of earth opposite Air.s
i U s abode, and lives next door to her. Be
, iug asked if he ever \inew Mrs. R. to ba
j engaged in scolding or slandering, his re
plies, delivered in the broadest accent ol the
! turf, occasioned great merriment. They
j were fiat against her. “Sure enough, I
I have heard her, often shouting at the peo
’ pie from her window —but I was too busy
with my carts to give any great attenshun.
li*s true, your honors, what Air C. says—
sho did shout at him and call him Ould
H-dy Willy, that’s sure, and he was in a
j coach all the while, riding in a funeral.”—
1 Defeated in her hopes of HolUhan, she
next called little Tims, ihe doorkeeper of
the Senate, (of “more porter-Tims” mem
ory.) This worthy perhaps you haye seen
j j{ 8( , you remember his mamkin shape,
| his red picked snuffy, nose, and ludicrous
Ily pompous manner Cox° began by as \
! id him if he knew Mrs. R. to be a com
-1 scold? Now ii so happened llial this
’ witness (more suo) had been somewhat
niidar with that out of which the devil o.

tion by another—“ Pray sir,* said Tims,
“what is the proper and legal definition of
a common scold?— When can a scold be
said to be common? fur as to being a
scold, yoq know nil woman are that” —
Now what gave point to this query, wa
the fact that it was the very question which
Coije himself had put to the court on a
prevous motion to quash the indictment.
Tlio wary counsel gave it the and
changing the shape of his question, said,
“Well then, Mr. T did you ever know of j
Mrs. RoyaFs slanderng auy body? ’ Tims
promptly answered, * Yes, sir,—she has
siandeted me .” This was rather a stumper
—cuming, too, from her own witness.—
“You Air. Tims? how so?” “Why sir, she
has said, aye and printed it too in her book,
that I am very clever—and to that
make no objections; in fact, I believe, on
the whole, it is true. Take ine altogether
j I certainly am a very clever man; but she
; adds—and a very czcinplary man.—Now
that’s a slander.’*
This was too much. The court roared;
bench, bar, and jury, all lust their balance,
I and \vbi!o even the sedate Judge Cranch
sunk his head between his hands and shook
in his chair, Tims himself was tfie only
person left unmoved. Ha looked round as
grave ns an owl. Just opposite him stood
Mr. Waterson, the ex-librarian, laughing
immoderately. Tims catching sight of him,
again opened his oracular jaws. “Yes Sir,
and I know of her slandering another per
son besides rne.” Indeed! who is thai?—
“Why, there’s Mr. Waterson, she says in
the same book, that he ond Joe Gales are
two of the hanusopiest men in Washington;
now, I leave it to all the world if that is
not a slanderer.” The effect of this you
may imagine. In vain the constables roar
ed out “silence! * The court room shok
to its foundations; and it tyas some time
before ihe trial could proceed. Her wit- j
nesses having all been examined, arid all <
proved alike treacherous, the accused pro- I
ceaded, in propria persoua, to address the
Jury. Advancing her wrinkled visgge and
swaying their souls with the majesty of her
outstretched hand, she proceeded to obtest
and objure them, as they loved liberty and
their country, not to sacrifice both in her 1
person. They stood not only for the pre- !
sent age, hut the guardians of posterity.— ,
This prosecution was but one branch of the
general conspiracy of the hluc-nnd-black
hearted. Presbyterians, the Priesis and
Missionaries, against the freedom of speech
and of the press If they were permitted
to sncced who could answer for his home 1
or fireside? Nothing would be safe —big- 5
otry and gl! the horrors of the inquisition
ivnulfi nyorivholti* thfi land, and nothing [
would be left of all for which her husband J
and the other worthies of the Revolution <
had shed their blood in the tented field, &c. i
Syc. <fcc. &c. But I blush to add, that the i
force of even such eloquence was in vain. |
The Jury, neither melted by suffering beau- i
tv, nor fired by the remembrance of poster- i
sty in danger, returned a verdict of Guilty <
—and, to crown the evidence of our bar- {
barism, the Judge informed her, that unless <
she found bail for her appearance when the j
sentauce should be pronounced, she must
be remanded to prison. On hearing this,
she exclaimed, 1 This is a pretty country <
to live in!” ayd left the court room in com- 1
pany with the constable. Sentence is not !
yet pronounced—-and this paragon has al ;
ready forfeited her bail by attacking a gen
tleman in the street, lie disdained, how
ever, to enter a complaint—so the matter I
lies over. The genet al opinion is, that she 1
will be sentenced to a fine and short impris- 1
onment, and that her punishment will be i
remitted by a pardon from the Executive: i
but this, I think, must be a party slander, j

The Hon. John Branch, Secretary
the Navy, arrived iu our city on Friday af
ternoon last, and devoted Saturday to the
examination of our Navy Yard and the
United States Naval Asylum ou the Schuyl
kill. Prior to his visit to us, he had exa
mined the Navy Yards at Norfolk and N.
York. It cannot fail to be a subject oi
gratula ion to the people of the U. Stat s, to
know the head of the Navy Department is
personally inspecting those extensive estab
lishments, which while they are approved
of by the nation at Urge, requires at the
same time, that the funds of the govern
ment to he expended upon them should be
laid out with a single eye to the good of the
country This early exemplification of the
Secretary’s zeal in his new station, is an
ample pledge of the ability and fidelity with
which he will execute the duties of his Pe
paitinent. —Philadelphia Paper .
A correspondent of a Baltimore paper
states, that Mr. Van Buren left the city with
General Jackson, on account of his reluc
tance any longer to sanction the system of
proscription, and with a view to some dis
passionate conference with the General on
the subject, at a distance from those advi
sers to whom he has heretofore yielded
himself. We know not on what authority
such a statement has gone forth, but we are
inclined to believe that the writer of the
letter L not in the secret. It is probable
that the friends of this system jn the Cabi
net may have no dislike to a rumor of this
kind, which may have the effect of drawing
off public attention from their movements,
and thus enable ;hem to carry on, in a more
covert manner, a system which they would
uot abandon if thoy could, and which, while
i clamorous Jackson man remains to be
; provided for, they cannot abandon if they
vould. They have stepped so far into the
isponsibility as well as the iniquity of the
course, that to recede were worse Jhaa to
go on. If they stop now, it will he under
the palsying influence of terror, and terror

than moral obligation, and yet the instan

MORE MASQUERADING.’
On Friday last a handbill was received
in town advertising a wagon and peney
which were taken from she stable of J.
Whitson, at tlie United States’ Hotel in N.
York, by two boys as was supposed at the
time, but which, it was afterwards believed,
were girls dressed in boy’s clothes From
the description given of them in the adver?
tisement, there is no doubt of their being
the persons who recently visited U3 in the
same disguise.
The pesons who took the horse and wa
eon were apparently two boys “about 15
years old; oiie of them had on a frock coat
of a dark color, and the other a light round
about. The largest one was somewhat
freckeled.’’ The ease with which these
persons slipped through the fingers of Jus
tice, on their recent excursion to this place,
it seems has emboldened them to further
depredations. They will not be likely a
gain to escape as they did before, but will,
most probably, have a permanent residence
provided them by the State.- Spv,
Under the influence of genius, the soli

Thirty years ago they were worth from 6 to
10 cents an acre, Furoaccs were first esta
blished; but they made little impression on
these piney wildernesses, till steamboats
were invented, and doubled, quadrupled in
number. The demand for fuel became
immense, and four dollars au acre might
be got for what once brought six cents.—
The extended application of steam has still
increased this value, which is now six dol

nearly six thousand per cent. Really a

From the Ncv\ York Evening Post July 25.
The Dublin Evening pflsf says, that on
Sunday the Bth of June, Mr. Q’Connel left
Dublin, for Ennis, and as he proceeded
through the intervening towns was follow
ed, met and greeted by thousands, anxious
for his success. The whole population of
the country in some places seemed io be
out, bearing green branches in their hands,
so that the road had almost the appearance
of a continued grove. A t the towns where
he arrived in the night the windows were
illuminated. At Eifiicrick they drew up a
lofty tree before the door of his hotel, in
the top of which several musicians played
national airs. The people iu the mean
time gathered about the hotel, and when
O’Coqnel was ready to set out again, three
were about 40,000 persons pollecied in fha
streets* As the procession moved on it
increased to such a degree that journalists!
do not pr&tend to estimate its numbers.—
At the Ennis side of Cratloe wood, O’-
Connel made a short harangue to ihe peo
jle reminding them that al that spot he first
addressed them on the fi $ election. He
made the multitude another speech at Six
Mile Bridge, accusing §ir Edward O’Bri
en, who has two sons in Parliament—one
representing the county, and the oilier the
)orough of Ennis—of having his
Promise to support O Connel’s right to sit
io Parliament. For this he said, Sir Ed
ward’s son would soon .wsjlk out of the
county, and *that when lie got into Parlia
ment he would drag before the country the
monoply and corruption the borough re
presented by the son. This declaration wag
Allowed by tremendous cheering.
The multitude now became so dense that
O Connul’s carriage could only move at the
cif a mile-an hour, c.nd it was near one
o’clock on Tuesday morning before he
reached Ennis. Here he again harangued
the people, observing that he had addressed
them five times the day before, and four
times already ou that day—that he was,
therefore, exhausted in body, but that his
spirit and his resolution to serve them were
inexhaustible. He said Wellington and
Peel had done to him and his fellow citi
zens gross, palpable, and paltry injuslicq
when he forced on them the measure of
emancipation. He was sure, he said, that
the electors would not i?ive those men aq
opportunity of repealing their injustice to
wards them. (As Mr O Conned said this,
cries of, No, no —we will return you.)—•
Mr O’Connel proceeded to complain of the
taking away of the forty shilling franchise,
and said that he u*s sure they would give
himao opportunity of having that franchise
restored He said that he hud promised
them religious freedom, and had procured
t for them. They weie now free, and th
J3runswickers, who would turn up the whites
of their eyes while they put their hands
sfily iuio the pockets of the Catholics, and
who would discount God Almighty for the
ready mopey, were no longer their mas
ters. The Brunswick Clubs of Dublin had
pent down poor Bumboo and his land-calf
brother to disfranchise the brave freehol
ders, and crooked eyed Fitzgerald was ou
their side. He called on the Gentry of
Clare to separate themselves from the Dub
lin bloodhounds, and join what was intend
ed for the good of the people. He inquired
what good any member had ever done
in Parliament for the County of Clare,
except to get places for their relations, and
be promised that he would not be six
months in Parliament before all their op**
pressions should he done away with. After
several other observations of similar pur
port, he promised the people to address
them again next day, and assured thorn that
they should hear from him often through the
newspapers and otherwise.
One of the Dublin Anti-Catholic papers
says that Mr. O’Conuel has not the slight
est chance of being elected. There is a
report that Mr Vessey Fitzgerald will ap
poar as a candidate against him.
