The examination and confession of Morris
JVorton Bartholomew Hull, taken before
me, Theodoric Bland, Judge of the Dis
trict Court in and for the district of Ma
ryland, on this 28th day of March, in the
year eighteen hundred and twenty :
After being cautioned that his acknow
ledgements and confessions must he made
without hope or fear, and perfectly volun
tary and free, the said 1 lull saitli, that he
was born in New-Hartford, in the State of
New-York: that,he is now twenty years of
age, and that lie studied physic, and was
principally raised to the business of a drug
gist, in the druggist, shop of his father, in
Utica, New-York ; that he was some time
out of employ in New-York, where, about
five weeks ago, he met with, and, for the
first time, became acquainted with Pere
grine Hutton ; about two weeks after the.y
be<
c,came acquainted, they left New-York for
Baltimore together ; Hutton complained
that he was out of money, and proposed t
come to Baltimore, where, as soon as he
arrived, he could lay his hands on as much
as he wanted immediately ; he did not. say
how it was to he got, but expressed great
confidence in getting it. Hull borrowed of
Miles Hitchcock, his father's cousin twen
ty-five dollars, with which lie bore his
(Hull's) and Hutton’s expenses—they tr;
veiled together from New-York,to Phila
delphia in the mail stage ; thence to Wil
mington in the stCam-hoat; thence to New
port in the stage. Hull left his trunk unde
a pretence that it was Hutton’s’ iu New
York, at Capt. James Whelpley’s in pledge
for Hutton's debt, with some of his (Hull’s)
clothes in it, the rest of his clothes being
put into Hutton’s trunk ; the keys of the
two trunks happened to he alike ; but which
he did not discover until they arrived in
Baltimore. Hutton proposed to him (Hull)
in Wilmington, to stop and rob the mail, hut
specified nothing distinctly as to time, place
or manner ; then it was, that Hull first sus
pected that Hutton had all along alluded to
the mail robbery, from Newport. They,
(Hull and Hutton,) travelled ou foot to Bal
timore, and, iu the course of their journey,
the subject of the mail robbery was fre
quently spoken of; Hutton said lie knew of 3
or four good places for the purpose, if they
could make a safe retreat—a place near
Havri -de-Grace was mentioned ; Hull said
he would leave the place entirely to Hutton,
as he knew the country. They had made
up their minds upon the robbery of the mail
before they readied Baltimore, and agreed
that it should he perpetrated beyond the
Falls of Gunpowder ; but recollecting that
there was a bridge in the way, which Hutton
believed was a toll bridge, over which they
would not readily make a retreat, it was
given up; and they came on to Baltimore
where they arrived on this day two weeks,
and put up at George Keck’s, in Old Tow n.
On Thursday or Friday, after they arrived
in Baltimore, they left this city, and went
out on foot, about 8 o’clock in the afternoon,
on the Philadelphia road, with a design to
meet and rob the mail ; and travelled out
into a wood, about 2 miles beyond the big
Falls of Gunpowder, when they stationed
themselves, and threw some rails across the
voad, and about two hours after, that is, n-
bouttwo o’clock, A. M. the mail waggon
coming up, when Hull, perceiving it had
lamps, said they had better not attempt it,
which, after a little, was agreed to ; they
withdrew the rails from the road, and the
waggon immediately passed ; they were a-
bout thirty feet from the mail when it pass
ed; lie, (Hull) is pretty certain he saw no
One in the waggon but the driver ; and h
recollects that Hutton said, “ there was no
one in it but the driver, it’s u fine opportuni
ty, and we might as easily head it as not;
and that he hud a good inind to attack it
(liinsclf,”
Returning to Baltimore, Hutton said “he
Would have it sometime, if he were to at
tack it alone:” they reached Baltimore about
day-light, and put up again at Keck’s: when
they went out this first night, they had a
small iron screw barrel pocket pistol, the
guard hack of the cock was broke, which
was loaded by Huitou; and each of them
bad a stout knife, with a Made about four in
ches long, commonly called a Spanish knife,
which they bought in New-York, at the re
commendation of llutton; they had no
sticks,clubs, or other weapons the first night.
Hutton had a mask, made of an old leather
cap, and Hull had a mask made of the hairy
part of the same old cap, which was put on
about his neck and chin, more like a hand
kerchief than a mask ; when they went out
of town they put on other clothes over those
they had on. They were out again on Thurs
day last on the Philadelphia road, with ade
sign to rob the mail, about eight miles from
the city, equipped in all respects as on the
first night: but when the mail wagon came
up there were two men in it; they heard
them talking, and therefore let it pass ; they
then threw nothing into the road. They re
turned to Baltimore, and coining in, Hutton
said, “ 1 will go every night until 1 have it.”
On Friday night last, after they had got
their supper at Keek’s, about eight o’clock
they again set out on the Philadelphia road.
' Vl 'h intent to rob the mail, and were artne
sail equipped in :UI respects as on the first
occasion, but had cut each of them a stick to
walk with.
They stationed themselves in a wood n
hunt eight miles from the city. Hutton threw
a Jew brushes into one branch of the road;
w 'on the mail wagon came up, they were
standing near the road, Hutton more in it;
“ •ore th,: mail got up, Hutton said to Hull
“•eve was but one person in it; the first word
spoken washy Hutton, addressed to the dri
ver, “1 command you (said he) to stop:
there are four of us old offenders,” the driv
er said nothing but tro to his horses, ic stop
ped. Hutton told Hull to take hold of the
Horses and lead them into the woods, the
driver remarked as he got into the woods,
“ gentlemen this is far enough, you have got
every thing, 1 give up, you may have all, 1
make no resistance, limit injure mi, ) hav e a
wife and children, I do not know either of
you, and I can t be an ev idcnct against you.”
Mutton said nothing, Hull said “it is nut you
we want, we dont want to injure you.” The
driver had by this time jumped oil*the wa
gon, and Hutton was tying him w ith the reins
first behind by the two arms, and then tied
his right arm to a suppling. Hutton then
with his knife, ripped open the mail. Hull
then tied the other arm of the driver to ano
ther suppling; llutton then threw the mail
hags on the ground and they pillaged the let
ters ami collected the money as fast as they
could : one of the hags had in it meal or
something of the kind: before they had col
lected the money, llutton told llt ll to un
harness the horses, ready fora retreat ; af
ter they had done pillaging the mail, Hutton
told Hull, itt alow voice, “now you must
go up and shoot him.” Hull said “ no, lie
don’t know us, we had better let the man
go, il we do do it, we shall surely lie lumg.”
Hutton replied;* 1 It must he done, lie knows
me, you must shoot him or shoot me.” Hull
begged of Hutton to let the man go, but he
said not, and insisted oil his being shot. Hull
then went up to the driver, and shot him :
he jumped up, hallooed, and then fell and
groaned. Hutton told Hull to go up again
and feel his pulse; which he did, and found
him still aliv e. Hutton then went tqt to him,
and stabbed him twice with his knife, and
killed him. Hutton and Hull then mounted
the horses, and rode on towards Baltimore
as far as the wood on this side of the mill,
where they tied the horses and left them, Ik.
then came into Baltimore a little before sun
rise, and on the same day, in the afternoon,
were apprehended in Bridge-street. They
counted the money in their room, at Keck’s
and there was about five thousand dollars
in good notes, besides the post notes Ss. cut
notes. After they had counted the money,
Hutton said he would wait until they hud
lighted a fire, and then lie would hum the
cut notes. Some of the good notes he put
into each of their pocket books, and the rest,
with the post, notes, he put into his trunk.—
After they were arrested, and brought into
the jail, llutton was examined, and on find
ing a .00 dollar note in his pocket book,somi
one remarked it was a forged note, when
Hull stepped up near him, and Hutton struck
Hull’s hand and slipped into it the cut note
which he then thought had been put into
the trunk. Hull, not knowing vvli.it lo do
with them, slipped them into his pantaloons,
where they were found. Before, and after,
they had lobbed tile mail, llutton proposed
that they should go to the southward, to
Petersburg, iu Virginia, and there set up
the Druggist and Grocery business. They
had disposed of none of the money before
they were apprehended. The over-clothes
in which they perpetrated the robbery, and
their knives, were thrown away. Hull tied
a stone to his clothes, and threw them into
the falls, at the upper side of Market-street
Bridge. Hutton’s trunk was sent from
Newport lo Newcastle, and thence brought
to Baltimore in the steam boat, by an o: del
from Hull, under the name of Norton,
which he then assumed, and also by another
order from Hutton.

SINGULAR ELOPEMENT.
Paris, (Kentucky) March 9.
On Saturday the 4th inst. Major Wil-
m Trigg, a citizen of this town, and
Cashier of the Branch Bank, left home
in the evening, pretending a visit to his
sister in Fayette County, and represent
ing that his return might be expected the
next day. On the Monday following
bank hours arrived, and no Cashier ap
peared to conduct the business of the In
stitution. It had been discovered in the
mean time that a young lady of respec
table parentage and connections had dis
appeared, and no conjecture could at first
be formed, either of the cause of her de
parture, or ol her motives in leaving the
comforts of her farther’s house. The
Major being slill absent, connected with
the absence ofthe lady, and some other
circumstances recollected by individuals,
attached to him a suspicion in the minds
of some, which they feared to express.
At the first intimation of the suspicion,
the Directory, alarmed for the safety ot
the Bank, repaired thither, and examin
ed and counted its funds, and discovered
all safe. This, however, only lulled,
hut did uot eradicate suspicion. Further
searches were made, and in a pocket-
book left in one of the desks of the Bank,
there was discovered a list oi his debt:
and credits, exhibiting a large balance in
bis favor, after his debts should be satis
fied. He then proceeds to disclose his
contemplated flight, and the causes of it,
in feeling expressions, of which the iul-
lovving is a correct copy :—
“ I keep no book of accounts and this
is as nearly the state of my affairs as I cat
recollect them. 1 shall in a few days
leave this part of the world, and when
to return God only knows. My conduct,
I know, will be condemned, and rnyseli
with it. The motives which induce me
no man knows but myself, 1 am sorry
the Church of which I have hern a mem
ber—but it injures not the religion ofo-
thers, and every one has to lender un
account fur himself.
“I uni also sorry for the families, that
will suffer in feeling—but they have not
me alone to blame. 1 have for a h* g
t'tne been innocently attached to this fe
male, and never should have thought of
any other kind, bad I not been driven to
a different course by the menaces of in)
family mid their satellites. 1 have left
property sufficient to pay till my debts,
mul have a large surplus left to support
my family. I take with me 3000 dollars,
the clothes on my back and one change,
two horses and my watch; with this scan
ty amount, 1 seek a new country and
new employment. The place to which
I am going is distant and unknown to any
human being, and in all probability shall
not be beard of for several years.
“ I leave a power of attorney for Mr.
A. Ward to transact my business, and
settle my affairs by the sale of any pro
perty necessary ; but bad rather he
would retain the Paris property.
(Signed) Wm. TRIGG.”
Then follows the letter of attorney to
Mr. Abram Ward, a merchant of this
place. In it lie directs, after his debts
are paid, the residue ol'liis elate to he ap
propriated to the sustenance of his wife.
At the r1o«e of the power, he adds this
additional memorandum.
“ The Bank accounts and money will
be fjund to stand fair. If there is any
deficit it must be small, growing out of
mii.-counting. \V. T.”
Mr. Trigg is upwards of 60 years of
age, and possesses an ample fortune.—
l i former years lie was given to intem
perance ; but had for some years pas!
reformed. He held the commission of
IIujor iu the 28th Regiment of U. States
Infantry in the late war.
Since that period his reformation ap
peared to he of the most deep rooted
character. He ardently and zealously
embraced the Christian religion, and be
came a ruling elder in the Presbyterian
church, lie possessed the most tinli
mi led confidence, not only of his breth
ren ofthe same society, hut of all his ac
quaintances. He conducted properly as
i cashier and as a citizen, lie was sur
rounded with the esteem and alVection
f his connections, his neighbors and nu
merous friends, and in ease and afilu-
onco, enjoyed the comforts of a married
life with an amiable wife, with whom he
had lived for about thirty tears, and in
whose bosom, liy this last desolating act
of wickedness, he has planted a thou
sand goading thorns of pungent grief.—
Upon examining his private papers mi
nutely, it is found that he has taken great
pains to provide for the payment of all
iiis debts. That his estate is amply sol
vent, and that few men in the place were
more independent, or free from the em
barrassments of t he times. I lo seems at
the time of his departure, so far as re
lates tohis dealings with the world, to
have provided strongly against adding
minute sins to the enormous crime he
wits about to perpetrate, and perhaps a
similar instance could not lie found, of
an act so abandoned, mingled with such
trait* of moral honesty. The event has
filled his fellow citizens with more than
wonder, they really experience absolute
astonishment.

HYDROPHOBIA.
An affecting case of this dreadful malady
has occurred in this vicinity. On the 17tli
of January last, Thomas Palmer, a young
man in the employ of Joseph Pierson, lisq
of South Orange, was hit l>\ a (iog supposed
to he mad. As a precautionary stop, he
went immediately to New-York anil procur
ed the scull-rap, which lias been supposed to
lie a sovereign remedy for this dreadful poi
son. We are informed he made a free use
of this herb, and accommodated his diet to
the directions prescribed in a pamphlet
which treats on tile subject. No ill effects
were felt, or any complaints made, till Fri
day the 17th inst. when a slight pain w as ex
perienced in the shoulder, which gradually
extended the two follow ing days. On .Mon
day afternoon, the 21>l, the family in which
te lived for the first time became seriously
rlarmed, and it was soon ascertained to he a
distinct ease ofliydrojihohia. Two or three
physicians were called in, but their skill was
unavailing; the disease progressed, and he
died on Thursday evening last, greatly dis
tressed in mind as well as body. He was
ed about 22 years, and has a mother liv
ing ten miles above Albany.
The circumstances attending the wound
which has proved fatal to Palmer, and the.
providential escape of others in the same fa
mily, are truly remarkable. On the even
ing of the 171 h January, the dog attacked a
nose sitting beside tlie house—the door was
pencil, and, while a son of Mr. Pierson w a*
standing in the door, the dog passed befw een
hi* iegs into the house, and laid himself qui
ll y down. The dog appeared worried, tc
>otli Palmer and a son of Mr. Pierson exa
mined the collar round his neck to ascertain
his owner. All this without any repulsive
disposition in the dog. At this time there
were ten persons in the room—and no one
anticipating the least danger from the ani
mal. On a sudden lie sprung at Palmer,
and snapt him in the hand, and, after run
ning around the room and greatly affright
ing the family, passed out at the door.

Philadelphia, March 28.
Early this morning, an attempt was made
by a number of the convicts in the State
Prison in this city, lo make their escape.—
They succeeded in making their way into
the prison yard, which is surrounded by a
wall. Fired upon by the citizens, several of
them were wounded, and one killed, anil
they were driven hack into the prison. They
threw stones and brickbats at those who
ware firing on them and bruised though but

the purpose of preventing any escape.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION.
Philadelphia, April 3.
Yesterday evening, about Si o’clock, the

with its valuable machinery and scenery
together with the Gas House attached to it,

(£7* The detected plot to assassinate at
“one fell swoop” the whole of the British

dication of that restless spirit, which per
vades, in a greater or less degree, the mass of
the people, in almost every part of Europe.

whose prospects arc representi d by our last

Washington, March 31.
Our readers w ill perceive, many of them
with aching hearts, that tlie bill to establish
an uniform system of Baiikiuptcy, bus been
rejected iu the Senate of the United Slates.
This important measure has not failed
from the want of a full consideration : il has
been maturely considered! Nor lias it
failed, we believe, because a majority of the
Senate deem a Bankrupt law inexpedient.
Some of the friends of the bill thouglitit best
to unite what is called tlie insolvent system
with what is technically termed the bankrupt
system—that is, to apply the latter to mer
chants and traders only, and to extend the
former to all other debtors of a certain a-
■nounl with their own consent; these gen
tlemen, uniting to them those who tlisap
prove all legislation on the subject, succeed
ed in engrafting this feature in the bill. The
unit hi of the two principles, being deemed
an insuperable objection with several of
those who favor a strict and simple bank
rupt act, limy Were com cried into eucuiiei
to the bill, and formed, with the opponent
of both principles, a majority against, it.
The. decided vote by which the hill has been
lost in the Senate, will, in all probability
induce thu House of Representatives to a-
haiidon the subject there, for the present scs
sion at least. The heart* of thousands of
unfortunate, men will sink within them when
they shaij hear of a decision which seems
almost to seal their fate, and convert long
cherished hope into despair. We feel for

Friday night. Sergeant Horace, of the

Mr. Anthony Nani, that he (Nurd) had
overheard a conversation at one ofthe
wharves, between 2 Spaniards, iu which
arrangements were made, in conjunction
with nine others, to tire the citv on Sa
turday night last, at four different pla
ces. The Mayor issued his warrant to
arrest the persons implicated, on hoard
a small vessel lately arrived from Flori

arrested, and one permitted to give evi
dence of their having attempted a burg
lary, upon the store of Mr. Gaston, anil
intention to conllagrnte the city—hav
ing also in their possession, a machine
lor counterfeiting coin, and false keys,
they were committed by the Mayor, i'or
trial, at the next Superior Court.
Since writing tlie above, we under
stand four others ofthe gang of villains
were arrested on Saturday evening, anil
have been committed to prison. Their
object, from the confession of the party,
was, to fire tlie town at different points,
where they were to commence the scene
