The Boston Post re marks that from the delusive circumstance that the Jury did not make their appearance for a considerable period after the opening of the Hall, an impression that they had come to a con fu sion favorable to the prisoners, or, at leasy they could not agree, became very prevalent throughout the assembly; but at half-past el - ven tne Jurors were ushered into the court, w ith the sentence of death so legibly and solemnly written on their countenances, as to extinguish in an instant, the faintest sUmmenn||of hope lor the* majority of {the accused. Judge btorfwas not Arisen? when the Jury came in and a fur »w Period of breathless suspense of fifteen mi nuteToccurred, till the prisoners’ roll and the "U , f| were called. The prisoners were then rolled one by one, and the verdict of the Jury was declared to each separately in the following manner, viz: CfcrJt.-Gentlemen of the Jury nave you agreed upon your verdict? °Jaru.—We have. Clerk.— Who shall speak for you/ turn.—Our foreman. The prisoners were then directed severally to rise as they were called and receive the verdict of the jury. The Capt., Pedro Gibert, was the first n lined. He arose, raised his hand, and re garded th -jury with a firm countenance and a ^ CUrk—.Jurors look upon the prisoner; prison er lo >k upon the jurors. How say you gentlemen r:the prisoner at the barJPedro Gibert, guilty or no gailiy? The .nine verdict was pronounced against De S*. (die mute.) Ruiz, (Ihecarpenter) «»wr«, Castillo, Garcia and Montenegro. But Costa, (the cabin buy.) /Verier, (the ne-ro )S'""®! l-atm,,. and Velasquez, were declared NOT guilty. After having delivered the verdict of the Ju ry the foreman read to the court the following recommendation to mercy. , . _ “The sympath.es of the jury have been strong ly moved in behalf of Bernardo De Soto on ac count of his generous, noble, and self sacri ficing conduct in saving the lives of more than seventy human beings, constituting the Passen gers and crew of the ship Minerva; and they desire that his case should be presented to the merciful consideration of the Government. jud^e Story replied that the wish ofthe jury would certainly be complied with, both by the Court and the prosecuting officer. Mr. Hillard, (says the Gazette,) then rose and moved that Nicholas Costa, Antonio Ferrar, Do mingo de Guzman, Juan Antonio Portana, i*nd Joseph Velasquez, be forthwith discharged with °UThe court granted their discharge, and the five men were informed through their Interpre ter that they were at libeity to go where t y pleased. They then put on their hats and left the Court Room with a light step. A .cent commenced at this period, which though insuffi cient to excite the sympathy of the concourse of spectators towards men. who, after a long and open trial, have been fully convicted of perhaps the greatest offence in the catalogue of human c ,ne_could not but excite the feelings of all present in a powerful degree The convicted oartiea, finding themselves left to the aondem nanoT of the law, rose one by one’ a"d eJ* pressed their knowledge of their unhappy' st ation, in rapid and passionate exclamations. De Soto excited the most attention by turning to the spectators and with an ,,1\Pl°nno pression while the tears flowed down his cheeks addressing them in accents, which, though unintelligible to his auditors, conveyed a meaning which could not he misunderstood. Ruiz repeatedly struck the wood before him, and spoke loud and vociferously,exhibiting h°*cvcr the same hardened expression which he has WOm throughout the trial. Some apprehens on of violence on the part ofthe prisoners seemed to •prevail, but they quietly submitted to be hand cuffed and led out of Court. The sentence of death will be pronounced on Monday next, 10 which lime the Court adjourn ed. -— i— MOKE INDIAN MURDERS. Inman Murders—and probable W*R*_^he st earn bo .t Warrior arrived at this port on Sa tir lay from Praire du Chien. We are sorry to le mi as we do by her, that the Indians in that region have again been engaged in hostile acts, that they portend a serious termination. A 2 1 since, a party of the Sacs and Foxes attacked a party or lodge of the Menominees, u ,on Grant River, and killed three persons. The murderers were, however, (it was ascer tained at Rock Island,) delivered up by keo kuc, to a detachment of United SUM. soldier,, under command of Capt. • y , ^ on board ol the steamboat Winnebago, then as vending the Mississippi ttoaufo* ol bc' ^O^d^V^sKetnva.'oftheWa, rior at Praire du Chien, another massacre took Xce byTparty of the same tribe oflnd.ans On an island about three miles abo>[*.tbe .p,aJ" re a lodge of Winnebagoes was established, t wis occupied at the time by women and chil dren only—the warriors being absent on a hunt ing excursion. Suddenly, the Sac and F party made their appearance before the lodge, fired into, tomahawked, and scalped ten of the inmates. But one of the Sac warriors lost his life and that was by the hand of a Winnebago boy about fifteen years of age. The youth was standing at the door of the lodge, between a voun^er brother and sister, when two of the warriors made their appearance, and fired up on them Recollecting, instantly, that an old gun remained in the lodge loaded, he procured S and waited the return of the loe, who had re “iLi for the purpose of re-loading iheir guns. treated lor inep k him, he took a VCrte.matSneof them, Sred, and the ta rt went through the heart of his enemy.

The Winneoa„oes, is said, had determined on retaliation, and their warriors were already collecting. Their foe, it is also known, are ready to receive them—ha vim* been recently arming and equipping them selves lor fight. Towards the Winnebagoes, all parties of the Sacs and Foxes have an un dying hatred. They view them as having been the cause, by their bad counsels, of all the ca lamities brought upon them by the late war, and as having acted a treacherous and infamous part at the termination of it. Many circum stances concur to make it more than probable, that, should a conflict take place, it will be a long and bloody one.—St. LMutiJlepublican. THE MUKDEBESS SENTENCED. Sentence of death was pronounced on Wed nesday, 26th ult. by Judge Stephen, at the Marl borough Court, (Prince GeorgesCounty, Ma ryland,) on a negro girl Judith, the murderess of the children of Doctor Bayne, in an impres sive and solemn manner. A profound silence reigned in Court, when the Judge addressed the youthful prisoner on the heinousness of her crimes in the following pathetic strain: “You have been indicted, tried, and found guilty of a murder of the most cruel and aggra vated character; a murder attended by circum stances which shock every tender and sympa thetic feeling of a human heart. In the perpe tration of this enormous and diabolical crime, for which you are about to suffer, and for which you will so soon have to account to your God, no one palliating or extenuating circumstance is to be found. A helpless, innocent, and un offending child, towards whom, it might reason ably be supposed, you could not entertain even one unkind feeling, you have consigned to an untimely and premature grave; not even his tender years, his infantine and unsuspecting confidence, were sufficient to arrest the execu tion of your cruel and fiendlike purpose, or stay your hand when about to offer to him the dead ly poison. By the commission ot this awffil and inhuman act you have, let us hope, trans lated him from a world of trouble to a seat of glo ry in the mansions of eternal rest, and given to him the society of angels and of the saints in light. He, we have every reason to trust, is hanpy, because he is gone from this sinful sublu nary world before he was infected by its vices, or stained by its pollutions: and to the bleeding hearts of his weeping and disconsolate parents, whom he has left behind to mourn their irrepa rable loss, this consideration should administer the balm ot comfort and consolation. No more, ’tjs true, can they meet him on this side of the grave; no more can they bestow upon him the tender and endearing caresses of parental affection; but let them not mourn as those who have no hope—let them remember that lor these earthly blessings he has obtained in ex change the happiness of Heaven. But for you, poor unhappy sinner, but little hope of that joy and felicity can be entertained, unless that short interval of time, which remains to you on this side of the grave, should be unremittingly em ployed in making every atonement in your pow er to the violated laws of your offended God.— It now only remains that I perform the painful and solemn duty, which your conviction has de volved upon me; painful and distressing, I can truly say, it is; for cold indeed, must be his heart, who can look upon so sad a spectacle as you now present without sympathizing with you in your awful situation. The sentence of the law is, [here the firmness of the judge yield ed, and in a faltering tone he proceeded] that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place ot execution, where you are to be hung by the neck until you are dead—and may the Lord Al mighty have mercy upon you soul.” The girl being sentenced to death in this case, was of course not tried tor the murder of the other children.__ Biot and Mutiny.—A riot and mutiny took place one day last week on hoard of the ship Waverly, below, which has been a subject of conversation tor several days. So far as we have been able to learn the particulars, it ap pears to have been an unexpected affair to the officers, and was carried on by those concern ed in a spirit of wanton mischief. It commenc ed on Thursday, the 7th inst. about noon. The ship’s sails had been loosed and unbent, and or ders given lor stowing them below, when the first symptoms of riot appeared. One of the crew William Gulickson, began beating a dog on the poop deck, and on being remonstrated with by the second mate, returned very abusive language, and finally struck him. Three more of the crew, Holbrook, Tabor and Wilson, ran to the assistance of Gulickson, and they all com menced beating him. The noise and scuffle brought up the first mate, and on his interfering, and demanding the cause of this assault, four others of the crew came up. They all swore they would do no more duly on board of the ship, and went forward in a body. Soon after the cry of fire was called from the forecastle, and flames and smoke were seen coming up the hatchway. A burning bed was brought up and thrown overboard. This drew the officers for ward when the cry was made to seize the boat, and a rush was made for that purpose. The first & second mates endeavored to keep them back, and protect the ship’s property, but were knock ed down and beaten senseless. In the mean time, six of the rioters took possession of the boat and shoved off; leaving two of their associates on board, one of whom w’as holding the first mate These two remonstrated wilti the others | for abandoning them, but no attention was paid ^TtfeTe particulars we gather from the account given by the first mate. The Captain was in the city, but immediately on hearing of the riot, hurried on board. On Saturday the w ashmg ton cutter arrived in the Bay from Pensacola, and afforded assistance to arrest the two re maining mutineers, who were put in irons and brought up to town in the cutter. Their names are Gulickson and Wilson.—Nashville Rep. burning of snow hill. We learn that a most calamitous fire occur red on Monday night last at Snow Hill, Mary land It consumed forty houses, among which are the Court House, eight stores, two hotels, dtc. The records and papers in the Court House have been preserved. The fire is said to have originated in a cabinetmaker’s shop. Since the above was prepared, we have been favored with the following letter, from one or the Executive Council of Maryland, confirming the account of this truly melancholy disaster. Balt. Cr#£. “Snow Hill, Nov. 28th, 1834.—Mv dear friend, our village is in ashes—it took fire from a car penter’s shop in the centre of the town.

The very munificent gift which the British Government made to the Institution, of the documents printed under direction of the Record Commission, was followed by a simi ar act of liberality on the part of an individual— the executor of Jeremy Bentham—by whose di rections the works of that eminent writer were forwarded to the University.

Of course we cannot present it to our readers, at as early an hour as we could wish. No pains nor expense will, however, be spared in issuing it as soon as practicable. As we shall send it out to our town and country subscribers in an extra sheet, it will not be necessary to republish it in the pa per. Persons, therefore, w ho file the Gazette, had better preserve a copy of the Message. The Eclipse.—Agreeably to prediction, a large eclipse of the Sun took place on the 30th ult. The air was clear and unusually pleasant throughout the day; and, during the time of the eclipse, quite still,—affording as favorable an opportunity, for astronomical observations as could have been desired. The time of begin ning and end, and other circumstances, were observed with great care, in order for compari son with observations made in other places. There was a very sensible diminution in the temperature of the air;—a thermometer in the sun fell from 6S$ degrees to 54*, and in the shade from 54* to 50. The planet Venus was distinctly visible, eastward from the sun, for more than one hour. The next large Solar Eclipse visible here will be in September 1838, which will be annular, the moon being entirely between us and the sun, leaving a luminous ring of the sun visible. Condy Raguet and R. T. Conrad, Esqs. are hereafter to be joint editors and proprietors ol the Philadelphia Gazette and Commercial Intel ligencer, which papers are now to be united. Coffee—We leurn by an official paragraph in the Globe, that the amount of Coffee imported into the United States, for the three first quar ters of 1333 was 99,955,020 lbs. valued at 810, 567,299; and that for the three first quarters of 1834, there were imported 60,344,701 lbs. valued at 86,473,469. During the correspondingperiod last year, there were exported 24,897,144 lbs. va lued at 83,041,689—this year 32,715,599 lbs. va lued at 83,969,906._ A Salary Refused!-The sum of X100 was re cently voted by the Aldermen and Common Council of the city of Toronto to the Mayor of that city, as his salary for the current year.— His Worship, however, refused to accept it on the ground that until the taxes were equitably assessed, bearing equally on the rich and the poor, according to the value of their respective properties, and not almost exclusively on the poor, as is the case at present, he would not re ceive one penny in the shape of salary. Our Canal.—It i» with no little pleasure we mention that the navigation is now open, on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, from Georgetown to Shepherdstown. To show the great effect and consequence of the progress already made in this ,rreat work, we state the fact, that, among other boats, a single boat has just arrived at George town, in less .than two days passage from Shep 1 herdstown, (a distance of about a hundred miles,) containing eight hundred barrels of Flour, and drawn by one horse. Let it he borne in mind that to transport the same quantity of Flour by land, in double the space of time, it would take Jifty six-horse wagons! So that here is one horse performing a task on a Canal which it has heretofore required the power of six hun dred horses to perform on land. The only ex pense is the Canal toll, and that by no means equals the expense of tolls which the wagons would have to pay on bridges and turnpikes. Eighty tons of produce drawn by one horse! Is there any rail-road exploit to equal this? _'_Nat ltd. Washington Lime.—It gives us pleasure to be able, after a satisfactory experiment, to recom mend to the citizens of the District the Lime manufactured at the kilns near Georgetown; i and to say, that the enterprising proprietors are making arrangements to have on hand, at all times, a full supply for the District and the sur rounding country.— Telegraph. More Aggressions.—The driver of the Mail stage from Washington stales, that the stable j attached to Merrill’s tavern at Waterloo, on the Washington road, about 13 miles from Bal timore, was burnt down last night about 12 o’- I clock. It is believed to have been set on fire by ! some of the laborers on the Rail Road, who j have been lurking about the premises for some j days past. It is reported that a dwelling about two miles from Waterloo was also burnt, but j there is no certainty of this.— Balt. Pat. Rooue Detected.—A young man by the name of David Abdell, who absconded from New York a few days since with 5000 dollhrs pi jced in his possession by the Brokers of that city, to be delivered to the Brokers of Philadelphia on his arrival at that place, was arrested in this town last evening by Messrs. J. T. Kiger, James Reed, and A. Bowman—the former a merchant, and the two latter clerks in the Exchange Of fices of Messrs. Atterbury and Clarke & Cook. Exchanges of money in these offices led to the suspicion. $1800 of the money was recovered and deposited in the North Western Bank of Virginia, and the prisoner committed to jail. Wheelin'! Times. Military.—Brevet Brig. Gen. Arbuckle has been assigned to the command recently held by Gen. Leavenworth. It embraces all the troops on the Southwestern frontier, within the follow ing limits: bounded east by the Mississippi, north by the southern line of Missouri to the Santa Fe trace, along that trace to the Mexican Territory, west by the western boundary of the United States, and south by Red River, including Fort Jessup, La. Gen. Arbuckle’s head quarters are established at Fort Gibson, A. T. An order has also been issued by the War Department re quiring that the posts established last summer, on the Red Fork of the Arkansas, on the Cana dian, and on the Fausse Washita, be evacuated and the troops withdrawn.—Mite.
