sending out atrooj) ofcavalry, and fringing his infantry

and kllh-d about 50, amotig whom it captain Gibson Ik

to the Fort, the remains of his garrison retired into it,

On Monday Inst tlic circuit court of the U.
States, sat in this city on a special adjourn
ment for tiie trial of Seth Miner, for the al
1 edged crime of Treason. The court eonsis
ted of Judge Edwards only, Judge Livings
ton having proceeded as far as New-IIaven
returned to New-York. The jure and wit
nesses being called, the court enquired of the
prisoner whether he was ready for trial, to
which he replied in the negative, his counsel
not having arrived in town. The prisoner
was then remanded to prison, and the court
adjourned to nine o’clock the next day_
Yesterday the court met according to ad
journment, when the prisoner at the bar be
ing enquired ot, whether lie was ready to
proceed to trial, he replied that he was not,
although his counsel the lion. C. Goddard,
Lvsq. was then on his seat. The Judge then
sa»d that in consequence of the absence of the
Circuit Judge the court would adjourn to sit
at Hartford in September next ; stating at
the same time, that this im> t not be consi
dered as a precedent. The court was accor
dingly adjourned, and the witnesses recLgni
zed for their future appearance.
On Sunday last a man was arrested on the
wharf in this city, as a spv. On being taken
he threw his pocket-hook into the

It contained the commission of a lieutenant of
the British King’s dragoons of an old date, by
the name of Thomas Shearer. After bring
examined by the marshal, he was sent oil
board the Hornet.
He stated on examination, that the com
mission was one which he formerly held and
sold. That he had married in Philadelphia,
where he had for some time lived ; that ret
ting out ot funds he had it in view to fjet * on
boa.»l the British squadron ; for which pur

YANKEE PRIVATEER.
ROS'JOJV, July 2L— This truly fortunate
vessel has again safely arrived in' fort from
a successful cruize. She arrived at Huannis
on Wednesday last, after an absence of near
ly four months ; during which, we are in
formed, she luis taken 7 vessels, 5 of which
wtre ordered for the Southern forts—and the
other two given up to the prisoners. I: is
stated that one of her prizes was a large ship,
having on board 800 boxes sugar, coffee, Jr.
She has been chased 7 or H times by frigates,
Jc. but out-sailed them all with rase. IVe
are tola that she fell in with a vessel, (appa
rently an unarmed merchantman,) and it be
ing culm, sent her boat with the 2d captain
Jones, and 4 men, to board her, and ascer
tain her character. When the boat had gat
close to her, she opened a fire upon the per
sons in it. u-tu compelled them to surrender.
—A was now discovered that the supposed
merchantman was a sloop of war-, disguised !
.SVtr immediately gave chase to the Yankee
but the latter got away from her, by the aid of
her sweeps, after being under her guns for ti
bout 10 minutes, exposed to a heavy fire,
which, however, did no damage whatever to
the Yankee. She was chased from Georve’s
Rank, to Nantucket Shoals, by a frigate^'the
wind blowing a gale at the time, with a heavy
sea, and going 12 knots.

ANOTHER MURDER !
The frequent repetition of scenes of out
rage and murder within the precincts of our
Borough is, not only alarming to the peace,
1 but rliitrriirpfnl tn f ho rh... r ■
-~-\v here shall we seek, for the cause of
tins abomination ? Not indeed in any preva
lent distemperature in the society of the town,
for we do affirm that for morality and good
order, the citizens of Norfolk genera h . are
not exceeded any where ) but in the lamenta
ble inefficiency of our public institutions to
check the influx of vice from abroad, or to
hold it in check after it lias been unhappily
introduced among us.—-Little Water-Street,
the place where the subsequent and most o
ther murders have been Committed, is a per
petual scene cf every description of vice and
benstiality.—Gamblers, sharpers, and all o
ther outcasts from society, who are scouted
irnm other places, take up a temporary resi
dence in that sink of iniquity, until, by the
commission of some dreadful crime, they ei
thei fly, or remain to expiate their oflenccs
in the workhouse, the Horough jail, the. peni
tentiary, or on the gallows.-—Their infamous
proceedings, are. to be sure, confined exclu
sively to that particular street, nnr do one
halt ot the inhabitants in other parts of the
town, even know of the existence of such c
normous depravity. Hut why dors it exist at.
all f It is enough that the laws both of God
and man are constantly and shamefully vio
I kited, even though the fact be not generally
known, and the consequences limited.
On Tuesday night l ist between the t,«nrs
of 12 and 1, the alarm of A/unlrr ! was given
in Little Water-Street in the house ot’one
Win. Scott, the keeper of a tippling shop in
that street. The watchmen on entering the
house, found Scott prostrated on the floor be
hind his counter, and lifeless; a few steps
from him lay his wife, alive indeed, but se
verely stabbed and bleeding profusely. The
account she gave was as follows: two young
nien, in the habit of frequenting the house,
whose names arc William Hackett. and James
Ro^c, were in the shop alone with her hus
band, and the doors closed, when she retired
to rest some short time before the murder
took place ; hearing a noise in the shop, she
went down with a candle to know the mitfc,
" ®hc beheld the same men, with her hus
band’s pocket book, and her husband lying
weltering in his blood; Rose Immediately
seized her by the throat, while Ilackett, with
a dagger gave her several stabs in the neck
and back, but in consequence of her shrieks
and cries, they made off without completing
their diabolical work, and in their hurry, left
the pocket book containing some huudivds of
dollavs behind them. This statement she nl
so gave upon oath, to the examining magis
trate, and to the inquest summoned upon her
husband.—both Hackett and Hose were soon
apprehended, and the evidence against them
being sufficiently clear they were committed
to jail. The woman is stiil alive, tho’ her re
covery is doubtful. Herald.
