An interesting Trial. An cxamina
tion took place at Lowell last week, before
the Police Justices of a young man charged
with stealing a promissory note made by
him to a young girl, to whom at the time
it was made, he was engaged in marriage
we learn Irom the Lowell Courier, that
the complaint was entered by the overseer
ai ino Liawrencc mills, anil the young
woman was Eiiinmoncu as a witucis, and
appeared, unwillingly. From tho testimo
ny in tho case wo havo gathered the fu
lowing summary of focts. Tho defendant
and witness had been for somo months ii
timate in what is called in the country
courting way. She lent him money, for
which ho gave his notes. He omitted his
visits, and after a while, she, wanting tho
money, caused tho notes to bo sued. Sub
scquently tho suits woro abandoned, the
notes taken up, and a new one given for
200. At the time of these transaction,
a reconciliation look place he promised
to marry nor iney mutually ogrecd to
keep tho giving of the new note a secret1.
and things went on in the old way. A
snort i line ociurc tne trial, ho called upon
her one morning, found her sick a-bed
her nurse present and told her he was
published to bo married to another girl,
and had come to settle with her. pav her
tho money, and toko up his note. Upon
Mb asking to sec tho note, she gavo the
keys of her trunk to her nurse, and direct,
cd her to bring her (the witness's) bank
book, in which alio said the nolo was, with
out opening it. The nurse did as sho had
been directed, and then left the room.
Neither tho nurso nor thu witness could
say positively the nolo was there, for the
witness fainted, and became wholly uncon
scious of what passed. Upon the nurse's
return to the room, after a considerable
absence, she found the witness nearly, if
not quite senseless the defendant gone
the bank book on tho window no note,
and no money. There are thirty boarders
belonging to tho house where theso events
took place. Sometime oftcrwards upon
being questioned by tlio girl's brother about
paying the girl what lie owed her, he said,
'I have got up my note (or notes, the broth. J
ur was not certain which.) and that is all I
want." After this, the girl consulted coun
id, and by advice, inquired of the boarders
if they had seen any money in or about her
room, and (hoy denied that they had. Af
ter tho scono at the sickbed, and beforo
this examination, tho defendant was mar
ried. The court ordered tho defendant to
appear for trial at the court of Common
l'leae, December term, at Cambridge.
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18.
Tho result of the Presidential canvass is
still a matter of doubt. Thus far both par.
tics havo carried all the states they relied
upon as certain tho Whigs by increased,
and the Tories by very diminished majori
ties, with tho exception of Now York,
where Mr Van Burcn's majority will ex.
cced 20,000, In Pennsylvania, the
contest has been an unexpectedly close one,
end the result is not yet certainly known;
though, in all probability, Mr. Van Buren
has carried it by a few hundred votes.
Tho contest in Virginia has been very
close. Thus far, tho Harrison ticket is a
few hundred ahead. In Connecticut, which
last Spring gavo 3000 majority to the
torics, tho Van Buren ticket has prevailed
by a reported majority of from five to eight
hundred only. In Maine and JVew Hamn.
shire the torics had the field to themselves.
Vermont gives II arihson an unexpected
majority of near seven thousand; Ott'o, toy
10,000; Maryland between four and five
thousand; Delaware 500, the largest ma.
jority ever given in that state since the
present division of parties.
Comparing theso results with former es.
timatcs, we bco good reason to hope that
Mr Van Buren will not receivo the vote of
the Electoral College. A few days will
tell.

Church at hie Falls. In several
of our recent numbers we have spoken of
the natural advantages and ofthe late im
provements of Oniim River Lower Falls.
While so many plans arc forming, and so
much capital is employed for turning the
natural advantages at tho Falls village into
sources of wealth, we are glad to see its
moral improvement is not forgotten. We
learn that on Wednesday of last week, a
Church was duly organized there, with
promising and favorable prospects. We
understand that 30 or 40 members of the
Rev. Mr Converse's Church, who reside in
or near the Fall vilbjjc,- were solemnly
act apart and formed into a Church under
tho most harmonious and pleasant circum

Gov. Marcy has dciignatcd Thursday
the 15th December next as a day of public
Thanksgiving, and recommends its due ob
servance. Governor Vescy, of Maryland, by the
advice oftho Executive Council, has issued
a proclamation bearing date at Annapolis,
Nov. Olh, appointing Nov. 21st for the
convocation of the old Senate and present
delegates, to form tho General Assembly.
The Governor declares that the "bid Sen
aloof 1831 remain by tho Constitution in
power until legally superseded, which they
would have been had not the 18 Van Bu
rcn men attempted a revolutionary move
ment upon the Slate. He calls upon all
the officers, civil and miliary, to hold them
selves in readiness to put down any overt
act of treason on the part of those men
and their abettors, and says the Constitu
tion of the Slate must be preserved. With
this proclamation before them, and the
rebuke of tho electoral vote, the 18 rccus.
ants must feel in a "bad box." JV Y Star.
The Rhode Island Legislature has unan
imously resolved to recieve tho share of
the surplus revenue, to which that Slate
is entitled by tho act of Congress, but it
did nnt agree on any mode of distributing
it. The Committee to which tho subject
was referred, reported in favor of employ
ing it in tho establishment of Free Schools.
