"Tht Kry TPest Tragedy."—In Another

a statement front the brother of the late
Mr. McRea," who was unfortunately killed
nt Key West by Charles Hankins.. This
statement has been forwarded to us by a
correspondent in New York with the re
quest that ive would Insert h in our paper.
We do so with plo isure. atul heie take the
Opportunity to observe, that In publishing

We dtr nut wish 10 approve
lit airy manner, the conduct of Capt. Haw
kins (who Is entirely nnlstraun tib us,) nor
will we condemn or approve the conduct of
Mr. Mcltea- There Iras been much' ex
citement upon this subject it Key West,
where the parties have warm friends, and
both have been active in condemning'the
one and acquitting the other.—We have
not entered upon the feelings of either par
ly, nor will „g. Mr. McRei's statement
is temperate, and demands -respectful at
tention. It presents a lamentable picture
of female depravity, and while.it does
Qot pretend to justify either Captain Ha •
kins or the late Mr. McRea, it shows that
they were both victims to the.arts of others.
Among other gossiping intelligence of

not on what authority, that preparations
are malting for an arrangement, with Great
llritaiu un the basis of extended' commcr-'

ports will bo agreed upoh between that
government antr tlya‘ United States, which
will street the approbation of both. It Is
said the British Minister, at Waehingtdn
approves of the project, find that a special
mission to England is on foot, for the pur

The Philadelphia) Untied States Gaa-

"It is seriously staled, w e know not Un
what grounds, that Mr. Mcbane, opr new
Minister to England, hilTOcen instructed to
negotiate with tho British Ministry, with
reference to the Tariff op 1028—That is,
we understand it, he is authqri*ed'*to sal,
that the-tate of duties will be essentially
modified If Great .Britain will admit,' on
moderate duties, the grain and dour uf the

The editors of the National Intelligencer
hpve discontinued to exchange papers with
tlie Charleston Menury, because the tal
ented editor of the Utter print, has dared
to expose some uf their Jeremiades, which
. they are ever and anon, making against

lican arguments of the Mercury were too
potent for the sophistical doctrines of the

The Philadelphia Sentinel, in an article
on thf subject ot the revenue, has the fol
lowing :—
-"It issomewhir i efflStkable that the fal
lacy of the estimates made by the late Pres
ident, Mr- Adams, as to the revenue of this
year, should so early be manifested. In'
his message to Congress on the 2d Decem
ber last, he speaks of "a propitious market
having opened to the granaries of our coun
try.” owing to “the harvests of all Europe
havirg fallen short of their usual average,"
—and then adds:—“We may consider it
certain that, - for ihU approaching year, it
ha| added an item of large aiqount to the
Talus of our exporta* and that, will produce
a corresponding increase; of importations.
It may, therefore, confidently be foreseen
that the revenue of 1829'will equal, and
probably exceed^that of 1888, and will af
ford the means of extinguishing .ten mil
lions more of ilia principal of-tlie public
debt !" And yet in the ’ very first quarter
of'the year thus promised as so abundant,
there is a falling off of two millions and
si haiiT Mr. Adams was a tolerable
rhetorician, but the very worst and shal
lowest statesman we ever had at the bead
of government.

WASHINGTON, July 14.
Case ofT. Watkins—On the opening
of the Circuit Court yesterday, Chief
Judge • ranch delivered the revised opin
ion of the Court on tlie point on which the
Court had overruled the demurrer, and
sustained one of the indictments,"(the 76p
dollar case.) which poiflthkd’bcon re-argu-
edby Counsel on Saturday last. The re
view ol the c,.se had not changed the o-
pinion before delivered, but had confirmed
the Court in the unanimous decision that Livingston^. BeirieUI, Culhnuqs,
the delimiter be overiulcd. [JudgeThrus- yierts. Boutons, Haynes; Tazcwi
tpn. concurring willf his brethren In' thelv. ~ ~
opinion, delivered at le'ngtli his individual
reasons for that concurrence.]
The demurrer being qverruled,the coun'
selforthe prosecution prayed the Court
for judgment against' the defendant—hi>
counsel having,‘by the demurrer, admitted
the facts alleged m the. indictment. This
motion was opposed by the counsel for the
prisoner, and the privilege of a trial de
manded. Much discussion followed, and
authorities were read, on tlie questions wile-
tbci.as was contended- on one aide, the
Court was not, after having: on solemn ar-
gunient and formal decision, overruled a
demurrer in n ciiminal action, bound to
give judgment; or whether, as was main :
tainedon tlie other side, the Court had qo
the discretion ill criminal as in civil ac
tions, to porinit the defendant to withdraw
the demurrer and goto trial. This'being
a question not before decided by this Court,
and coming befoie it unexpected;’it requir
ed time to consider it and look'into tho
authorities. The question will probably be
decided to-day, and judgment given on the
indictment, or tho parties forwith proceed
to triaf pn the indictment.

demurrer to two out of the threeiequhts rtf
the. indictment, which diet counsel fpr the
prosecution agreed to submit to the Conti
without argument. -The defendant-also
asked a continuance nf the trial to Friday
next, on (he ground of the absence nf two
