Here the evidence for the prosecution closed.: . . . , Severa' witnesses were introduced by the defendant, but their evidence was over-ruled by the cour'., as . they were known to have been parti ceps crimnis in the transaction.. The case was briefly summed up by the States Attorney, when John M. Butts, Esq. made an. elaborate argument for the defence, He confessed that the crime had been perpetrated, but contended that an alibi could be easily proved, or if this plea should not be re ceiyed, that the more fashionble one of insanity might be urged.

Tbe European correspondent of the National Intelligencer, proclaims tbe ag. founding fact, that tbe London East In- dis Company contribute 6,000 annu ally to the support of this sanguinary temple. Tbe Baptist Missionary Societv were making strenuous exertions for lhe pur pose of inducing the company io abro gate the payment of this large and an nual donation. 1 heir memorial to the company , of which the following is an extract, will give our readers a pretty correet idea of the reprehensible policy of the East Ind'a Company, in relation to this attair. The society yonr memorialists repre. sent employ several missionaries in Or- issa and neighboring districts more im mediately connected with . the principal Temple of Juggernaut. I 1 he missionaries of this society, while pursuing their benevolent labors, have frequently witnessed the most appalling scenes of misery and death, occasioned J by the worship of that idol. They have seen dead or dying pilgrims scattered for ! miles on the main road to the idol's tem ple, or by the sides of the roads, and have occasionally, counted from 40 to 140 corpses, and even more, lying together in a small space of ground, the corpses of pilgrims that had died, exhausted by fatigue or diseases, tbe effect of their pilgrimage. The worship of this idol is impure and abommatla to a degree which year me morialists dare not to describe. Your memorialists beg humbly to ex press their great . satisfaction in the re peal of the pilgrim taxes at Juggernaut Gya, Allahabad, but they most deeply re gret the continuance of tbe government donation to Juggernaut's Temple. A recent letter states: A grand delusion has been' practiced upon the Christian world in reference to the abolition of the tax. The support of the Government awarJed to the idol having been drawn from tbe collection of the tax, it was understood that when it was abolished . that support would cease. But while the (ax has been abolished, tbe sum of 35.000 ru pees, and 1,030 rupees io provide cloth for the ido'rs cars, have been devoted in perpetuity a num suffloledt to sup port tbe idg in til Its inflaence and glo- EARLY SOWN WHEAT. In our excursions, in different parts of the country the present season, we have invariably found tbat those fields which were latest sown in wheat tast fall, have suffered the mos from the fly and win- t.rkill. Now. is this genally the case throughout different sections of the coun irf If so, it becomes an important mat ter to sow early, and instead of leaving it till the last ef September, or tbe lore part of October, as is frequently done here at the north, it should invariably be gotin aa aarly as the first ten days.of-Sep- teraber. '".'"'...., NEW SERIES. VOL. IV NO. 7- The only objection we bave beard to early sowing is, tbat it produces too rank a growth tbe following spring; but this is easily obviated by pasturing it for a week or two with sheep or young cat tie, the last of April, or early in May. We have been informed that pasturing wheat in tbe spring, on rich soils, not only renders it less likely to be struck with rust, but also thickens the crop; and operates as a preventive to tbe grain being lodged. Wben stock is turned on to wheat fields, great care sbonld be ta ken to see tbat tbe ground be sufficient. Ijr dry to prevent poaching, otherwise it might cause serious injury to the crop. The advantage of early sowing now, ir our observations prove correct as to the flf, would be very great; the disadvan tage we are vet to learn. Wheal being the principal money crop in large seeU fions of the northern snd middle slates too ranch attention cannot be paid to an improved culture of this great staple pro duct.

Portland Tribune. Puzzied. There is an anecdma as lant, admirably illustrative of the power iui, irresistible and artful qualities of forensic oratory. A countryman being present at the trial of a criminal, and naviog neara ail tbe evidence, was told not to make up his mind on the subject until he had heard the speeches of the counsel. Accordingly, be sat ' and very patiently listened to tbe address of the popnsel for the crown, or prosecution of the jury; wben tbe sneaker closed, tbe experienced auditor was asked whether he thought the man guilty or innocent. 'Ob, guilty, of course,' be replied, 'no body can get ever that.' The connsel of the prisoner then took up the case, and in the course of bis argument so dis torted the testimony and exhibitedjita inconsistency so belabored the prosecu tor for pressing his unfortunate client with all the extremities of legal power,, and so pathetically appealed to the sym pathies of tbe jury, that '.he countrvman came to the conclusion, that the 'man was not Only innocent, but very hardly dealt by withal.' The gentlemen of the bar were then followed by tbe learn ed judge, who with quiet aud dispas sionate tone and manner, faithfully re viewed the evidence throughout, por traying both its strong and its weak points, divesting it of its irrele vances, and preaenting it clearly to the unprejudiced contemplation of the mind. When be had concluded tbe countryman was asked te decide. 'Why dang me,' is the recorded re sponse of the crown, with the traditional embeltshmants of scratching bis bead, dang me,sir,and dangmv feyiher, if I can tell whether the man no guilty ornot.
