Taunton, Mass., is somewhat excited by the fol- lowing occurrence A few days since Charles Richmond, "Esq;, of Taunton, was arrested and held to bail in the sum of $5OOO, on a complaint preferred by Chas. A. Van Zandt, for attempting to procure the murjler of Galen Hicks, also of Taunton; and for forging the name of Hicks to two notes of hand. The atrocity of the charge naturally created a strong sensation among the citizens of Taunton, where Mr. Richmond has resided from his boyhood, and is universally respected as an honorable and upright man. The marks of his enterprise are visible throughout the town, and probably no man has contributed in a greater degree to its welfare'. Pre vious to 1837 he wap very extensively, engaged in manufacturing, under the firm of Crocket & Rich mond—-but the revulsions of that period were felt by him as well as others, and since that time he has conducted business on a limited scale. Re cently he has been engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods. In December last, Mr. Richmond failed in business, and it is. said that Mr. Hicks is involved thereby (as endorser for Mr. R;) to an amount exceeding $lOO,OOO. Mr. Hicks alleges that some of the endorse- i ments are forgeries: and a man named Charles! Makepeace, who formerly was in the employ of j Mr. Hicks, comes forward and says that in Octo ber, 1840, Mr. Richmond gave to him (Makepeace) a vial' containing Croton oil, and offered him a large sum of money if he would administer it to Mr. Hicks; and that about one year afterwards Mr. Richmond gave him a vial of Prussic acid, and then offered him several thousand dollars if he would administer a few drops to Mr. Hicks.— Makepeace kept this attempt at bribery a secret until after Mr. Richmond failed, last December,and until, in some business transactions with Mr. Rich mond, lie considered that he had not been dealt •with justly. The examination of the charge of attempting to procure the murder of Mr. Hicks took place in the Court house at Taunton, yesterday, before the Hon. Oliver Prescott, of New Bedford. The room was crowded to excess ;*\he whole town seemed to partake in the. interest of the case. Charles Makepeace, the person whom it was al ledged Mr. Richmond attempted to bribe to com mit'the murder, was the only witness examined.— He was on the stand three hours, and his testimony was such a mass of contradiction and equivocation, that it was deemed advisable to proceed no fur ' ther. The commonwealth accordingly entertained a nolle prosequi on all the complaints against Mr. Richmond, and he was discharged, amid the gene ral rejoicings of the assemblage. Wine. This*.wine takes its name frqm the province in which it is made. It takes much labor to prepare it from the juice of the grape suitable for market. It also takes much money lor bottles and corks, many of the lornier breaking during -fomentation. Ten per Cent, breaking is not regarded as a loss, because the wine is considered better, and rises in proportion. M.

A Funeral Instead ok a Bridal Ceremont.— Miss Nancy Bailey, of Merrimac, formerly employ ed in thci'actories here, visited Nashua lust week, for the purchase of her wedding dress, bonnet, and bridal cake, &c., preparatory to her marriage on Wednesday next. 'She had completed her purchases, and was on the way to the depot, Saturday evening when the cars left. She therefore returned to the house of a friend, Mrs. Mitchell, on Canal street, near the Jackson Corporation. About half p- lls t tliree on Sunday afternoon,as she sat at the window, she threw up both hands, exclaiming, “ Why, there is Mr. Drew P (the name of tlje young man to whom she was to be married, and who is a resident of Concord, Vt.) Mrs. M. went to another window, but no one was in sight. At this moment a-crash of glass called her attention to Miss Bailey, who had fallen forward against the window. Help was instantly called, and she was placed upon the bed, but with two gasps she lay a corpse.

Washington was leaving the Presidential-chair, and returning to Mount Vernon, (the seat of government was then in Philadelphia,) I was employed-in the store of Mr. George Keating, book-seller, in Baltimore, as a clerk. A short time previous to the period of which I am now speaking, Mr. Keating raised a company, of Grenadiers, and through his kindness, I was made Orderly Sergeant of the Company. It was announced that Gen. Washington, on his way to Mount Vernon, was to pass through Baltimore, and my company ordered to meet and escort him through the city. Qapt Keating’s company was the only company that turned out on that occasion. “Our company met Gen. Washington about a mile from the (then) town of Baltimore. He was escorted to his lodgings at the Light street ‘Foun tain Inn.’ During the time we tfere in the long room of the hotel, we were all introduced to Gen. Washington, and he received us with that kindness which was always manifested in his character. I shall never forget the shakd of the hand which the General gave me; Soon afterwards, I commenced the business of book-selling in the town of Alexan dria, (then a part of Virginia, and now a part of Virginia—God bless old Virginia!) I received orders from Gen. Washington for books, stationary, &c.; during the time I was in business there. On the 4th of July, 1799, General Washington was invited to a dinner, made up by subscription, and given at Spring Garden. The joke, the laugh, the song went round, but I observed that, although Gen. W. smiled, he never laughed.’ 1 A Curious Fact, if’it he a Fact. —A corres pondent of one of the Cincinnati papers states that the Buena Vista battle field is still covered with bones, coats, pants, shoes, knapsacks, &c. And what is .most singular of all is, that a few Mexi cans who were left unburied, arc still on the battle field entire. Neither putrefaction nor the wolves prey upon them, but they are dried up like mum mies. The only way he has heard it explained is, that the Mexicans cat so much pepper that it pre serves their bodies from putrefaction, and at the same time spoils them for the taste of wolves.— Certainly tfiey do not decay, and the wolves will not prey upon them. This is a good story, but about as fanciful as any which we have seen for a long time. HT* The following is given as Gen. Houston’s opinion of the Treaty: lie says, four fellows got together without any manner of authority, and having nothing better to do, agreed to make up what they pleased to call a Treaty. Four copies were made; one was sent to the Britisli Charge d’Affaires at —another to the French Minister—a third to Wall street, and there being no special demand for the last, they sent it to Washington. lE7* The Judiciary Committee of the House of Assembly of Michigan, has reported an amend ment to the constitution, making the Judges of the Supreme Court, the Auditor.
