BRUNSWICK. April 15th, 1139.
The Superior Court of (lilt county, Judge Henry,
prretdlag, cammearad lit aeeeioa tbio metalng, and
after feme lime Wed been lost in completing the
peael of (We Grand Inquest, the rriminal docket was
railed, end ibo cate of the Stato versus Koberi
Emmet Hone, w»» first In order. Your reader*
win remember ibat a motion for a near trial was
aiutalned two term* tlnee, by tlw Court, and the
pmaecutlon of’the Indictment (for volnnlary men*
•laughter, a* returned by the Grand Jury)wa* con*
tinned at but tenu at thoiustaiice of tlie defendant,
Capt. W. Ramsay, U.5. N. hi* principal witness lie*
i»g absent, I tliink, from imlit|Mi*ition. ThU term,the
defendant, through hit counted, eapretted groat an*
xiely to proceed to trial, but a letter wat received
from Capt. IUuitay,eapro«tingan inability to attend
tlw Court, owing to hit having met with nn accident
which would cuufinu him to lilt mom fur tuvorul
days. The trial wat therefore continued, on tlw dc*
potition of tho defendant, to tlw neat tenu.
The Ipdictmcnt for voluntary manilaughter, at iv-
turned at hut term, aguinit Dr. Thomat F. llounnl,
then cam6 up in unlor, mod a full paiwl of forty
eight juron having been aubmiltcd to tho pritoncr’t
V counsel, they were toverally pluced upon their voire
dire, and what with tho declaration of many that
they had oxpretted un opinion ut to tho innoconco or
guilt of the accrued, and peremptory challenge* al
lowed by tho penal code, hut four wore twum to
compute*tho utuul panel sought for.' It buingjtn-
practicable to complolo tin* Jury in tiiuo lor tho
limited session of tlw Court, a continuance had to bo
granted until tlw next term.
Tho iiiconveuiencu and oftentimes hardship to
accused parties of the injunction of tho cihIo, ill ex
tracting from tho juror* tho an*wor whether they
had funned and oxpru**ed an opinion a* to the guilt
or innocence of tho prisonor, is becoming every day
more apparent, nnd will have to bu repealed by the
next Legislature, or in many instance* tho pcuultics
of tho code will bo a dead letter.
There is much reason in usking a juror on his
voire dire, ifiio entertain* uny bias in favor of, or
prejudice against tho prisoner, hut none that 1 can
perceive in exempting him from serving, merely be
cause ho responds affirmatively that he had formed
and uxpressed nil opinion in tho case. If such a
rule prevail, tho object of penal enactment* must
bo defeated, and thus the guilty in many iiutiuice*
escape, or tlw innocent accused bo denied the
right of absolution by tho verdict of his peers. In
large community it will be difficult to constitute
jury of twelve—in a small community almost im
possible. Tho remaining business on tho dockets
may bo disposod of by to-morrow night.

New Yo k, during the two Inst years. .
" 'Yo congiuiulnto tho cimriiunity. in all sinceri

liesly, sense nod Immaniiy, in.l.-iid of one who is
litied for the p’nee by no q-i iliiy we know of. except
thr single on- of activity. We con^unulito lliem,
ul-o, that wo are to have a Co ntnun Couneil pViijs-
ed lo an econoniieul reform, nml in u pro.lent ml*
iiiiiiistrotfon of ilie city finances herealiei. The
mjw iiiiili-iri*ies will, we hope, iN-rnr-ful in avoid
the errors of tlieir pre.h-cesoirs; above nil, wn hope
they will resp-cl llio political rights of ill- Inhnring
men in their employment, of whniever parly they
til iy Ik*, nnd ali.sl tin from milking any inquisition in
to their opinions, knowing that lliis is not only the
just but tlw politic course. Never Inis the influence
of nffiue over every class of men employed by tlm
corporation, dow n to the slivei—wecpeis and niglii-
men, been exerto*? wiih so little scruple, its ut this
election, and never was puny in this rily lienten
down by so unexpected a il* feat. Let ill- party
which iiuw goes into power lake warning by their
exumplo
f “ Wo have triumphed, hut let us enjoy our vic
tory with magnanimity nnd moderation. There i*
no occasion for those extravagant rejoicings with
which the whig* have made themselves ridiculous,
uftur Homo of tho lute elections. Why should the
people, in whose hands tho power is, break into un
excess of exultation at finding themselves strong?
Tho usrcndcncy is nnturally and pennnnently with
tho democracy, and in recovering the majority wo
only return to our proper nnd usual stato. Tho
event is hot so rare and extraordinary that wo should
go mad upon it. If wo rejoice, let us rejoice liko
, rational men and democrats, nnd avoid tho excesses
of tho whig*.
“The victory,however, which we have gained is
a groat one, and is nttriliutnhlo to no other cause
than a change in public opinion. It has been ob
tained in a struggle against men armed with tho
wholo influence of tho municipnl government, and
employing it with tho gnflilcst possible activity and
tho least possihlo scruple. Its moral effect will bo
great throughout the republic, where it will be rc-
' ccived as a proof, that tho ascendancy of the aristo
cratic pnrty under freo institutions, is hut nil acci
dental distemperature of tho body politic, which
cannot long endure/’^

- « WHAT’S IN THE WIND 1 DOWN SOUTH ?'
Several of our Northern contemporaries ask tho
above question, in reference to the arrest of vagrants
by our police and military companies. We wonder
\ how dull our friends are! Have they not rend of
many attempts to fire our city, Mnbiln and other
places “down South," nnd of some extensive con
flagrations, all stip|>nscd to Ire perpetrated by vag
rant incendiaries. Thi* is the solution to the my*,
teryj -and wo congratulato nur brethren of the
North, that they have not been served after the same
'fashion.
A LUXURY—SMOKED SHAD.
. Wo have boon presented with some smoked shad,
prepared in a novel and excellent munner, by Mr.
JoHU Masson, at bis establishment on Wadr’s
Wharf. It was caught in our river, and cured by
him on its banks. It is n delicious article of con-
sumption^ and cannot fail to command the attention
ofepicurean's intended principally for the West
Indies, and other foreign mnrkets. It is so well pre
served that it will keep two years; nnd we under
stand that Mr. Masson wdl embark largely in the
trade next season. He h-i* now upwards of 1000
for sale as specimen*. Such enterprise should be
encouraged.
The ship Roman, Joy, hns arrived at New Bed
ford, with 3000 barrels of Sperm Oil, one of the
greuteit cargoes over bruught from the "land of
whales."
The National Intelligencer, I5tb ir.st. says:—

Public opinion in tho British province# srem# to
Ire opposed to (In* Imp settlement nf tho difficulties
between Maine and New Brunswick.—Many rest*
less spirits are dmiluless dlsanpuintrd that there Is
but a remote prestan wf war between tho twoeoun*
tries. Thr* (ft. John’s, N. It. Ubserveraf April 2,
has the following paragraph.—
"It is with no small share of regret that we frel
ourselvra constrained In notico the very general dls*
satisfaction of this community at the late ratrwurvli*
•ary conduct pursued by Kir’John llartey, in tela*
lion to tho Imundary nuesiiou. It is not fi*r us to say
what opinion her Majesty'* Government may enter*
tain on tho buIimti—hut this we must say, ami wo
are quite sure that we sm*ak tho sentiments of nine
tenths of this community, that by accepting tiro
terms dictated to him by Gen. Scott, urn! consented
lo by Gov. Fairfield, he has not only virtuallv coded
a large part of the territory hi dispute, but lias for*
foiled the confidence of tire loyal inhabitants of this
province."
This is tho opinion of tho gentleman who write*
editorials for tho St. John's Observer. But even
supposing it to bo tho opinion oftho|M*oplc in whose
name ho speaks, it is worthy of hut little coiisidcrtl*
tioti. To those people a w ar would lie rather an ml*
vantage than un evil—that is, looking merely at tho
surface of things. It would ensure for them a grout
disbursement of money—great demand for piiHluco
—great activity iu business. Tlw brunt would full
upon Great Britain, not upon New Brunsw ick. The
troops and the money would come from beyond sen
w hile tho provincial* would have nil the excitement
and all the profit. If they had to defray the ex|H>uso
and endure all the evils of war, they would not be
quite so ready to engage iu it. New*Brunswick may
Ih* very willing to fight nt tho harnnl of John Bull's
pocket, but if New Brunswick had to "foot the'hill"
tire Story would Ire rather diflerent. War is an ugly
game to play at, fur thepluyer*, however, pretty to
tho lookers on.

Cotton.—Until last Mondny, our market remuin-
cd in tile same .lull statu us noticed in our review of
Inst week, when Inter dates were received from Liv
erpool, up to the 8th .March. These nccounl* pro
duced more animation in our market, and had lliu
tendency to create more enquiry and u lietu-r feeling
nmong buyers. Tho sales of the week, front ware

ly affected since Monday, at nn advance of fully J of

at 15J, and 32 at 15J. Choice would comnuin.l 16.
Tho receipts continue to Ire small. Tire accounts by
fh§ Grunt Western are anxiously looked for, which,
il is believed, will determine the range that the price
of the raw material is to tuke in the American mar
kets during the summer.

these persons ut lliusair.o lima intiinuiing a strong

which put aside the arbitration of 1039-3], und in

In this journal wo have n*|reatedly thrown out it

would Ire better for both parlies—1st, for England,
because it wutild leuvo in her possession tho whole
of the disputed territorv, uud her interprovinciul
communication between Fredericton ami Quebec un
broken; 2d, uud eminently for tire stutu of Maine,
inasmuch us she would gain for it n linn country, to
which she hns never dreamed of putting forth u pre

nnd iH'iiciicinl. Nor, in tha cu«o of any man hut
Lonl Palmerston, doe* it nppears to us that nnv
K'lipii ih minister could throw difficulties in thu putii
of such u proposal.
Retnumlrer, this is no yielding on nur side to com

months ago. We did so from nn honest uoxiety for
national pence and huninn welfare. There is
through this leintiorui'y convention of Messrs. For
syth uud Fox n gleam of light, nod the only one wu
sou, nnd if well employed, it may conduct us through
tho labyrinth. But with such inducement* to activi
ty, and such materials of compromise, and such re
pented warnings to prepare for the worst, wlmt must
this inun, Lord Palmerston, he made of, who would
neither negociato through tho onlinury method* of

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.
Thn great question of the com luws nxcludad nl-
must every other topic, in Imth houses, throughout
tho week ending on tho Kith of Marrii. In tho
House of Commons it was brought up by Mr. Vil-
tiers, who moved that the House go into committee
of tho whole, to consider those laws—supporting his
motion hy uii elaborate nml skilful speech.
In the course of tiredobato Lonl John Russel! re
iterated Ins preference of a moderate fixed duly.
The debate wn* brought to a close on tho 18th,
th'.s motion being negatived bv a vote of >312 to
103.
In the House of Lonl* tho discussion arose upon
a resolution moved by Earl Fitzwiliinm, that tire
corn-laws had failed to secure that steadiness of price
which wns essential to tho host interest* of the coun
try. The resolution wns supported by Lord "Brough-
ham and tho Earl of Radnor, and opposed by the
Duka* of Buckingham, Richmond, and Wellington,
tho Marquis of Lxntdowne, the E tri of llipon ami
Lord Melbourne. It wu# negatived by a voto of
224 to 24.
In the course of tho debase the Duke of Rich-
mind solemnly declared, that If the corn-law* were
repoulcd he Mould sell hi* priqrerty and depart w iih
Ids capital nnd luiaiirers to some hsppl *r land.
And Lord Melbourne affirmed, wills great vidin

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED
STATES.
A war In tween Great Britain nml tho United
States would nppcnr to ho iirevi'nhle. Nothing, nt
all events, cun prevent wnr, excepting the most urn-
pie prejm.-nthius on tho part of this country to guard
the nntioiutl honor front violation, nml to maintain,
nt all hazirds, the dominion of llughiml over her
North American colonies.
It would be-the merest folly on the part ofthe Eng
lish government, to shut it* eyes to the fact that n wnr
with hngl'iml, when thu fitverahle moment shall nr-
rive, is the great ohj.fl of Mr. Van Bureii nml of Ids
l»rty. The North Ainericmi mptiblicitus hopo vet
to subject the whole of the vust Americun continents
to their sway; und the presence ol native tribes,
of colonists owing nlleginme to other countries, they
regard usequ illy n proliination of ihn soil. To ex
tinguish the sovereignty ofGreut Britain in the Cmiit-
das is oven mure necessary totho ciiiisolidalion of the
power of the federal union, than is the extinction of
tho native races to the establishment of dem icralie
supremacy iu the fur West.
Throughout the linlenil union, there is but one feel-
lug us to the necessity, sooner or Inter, of wresting
the Canada* from Great llritnin. So long ns the Cn-
iindm nckiiowkslgi^jie sovereignty of England, so
long is thu federal union lialdc to disruption—so long,,

nt Halifax, besides thu papers of that place to tho
6th inst. containing the latest itcws, a London paper
of thu 7th.
No very full and satisfli'-tury statement nf th« pro-'
■•ceding* in Muine rel'itiveto the boundary, appears
