*IIh thiirespeciable looking womani
rknevi her fur years, said Nell; I've seen
her in other parts nf the country, often.
- You were more than an hour with her

' l nett she got.
- All very natural, Nell; but, in the mean
t, the might easily have chosen a more
r4p.eCtable associate. have you actually
lose the sum of six hundred pounds, my
good madam.
. i have positively lost so much,, replied
tilwOman, together with the certificates
of, my marriage. •
And how did' ou first become acquaint
ea with Nell M'Colluml he inquired.
The stranger was silent, and blushed
dttlePly at this question; but Nell, with
more presence or mind, went over to the
magistrate,and whispered something which
caused him to start, look keenly at her, and
then at the plaintiff
• ' I
must have this confirmed by herself,
he said,in reply to Nell's disclosure, other
wise I shall be much more inclined to con
sider you „the thief than O'Rorke, whose
character has been hitherto unimpeachable
ead,abnve suspicion.
He then beckoned the woman over to
his 'desk, and after having firstiinquired if
she could write, and being replied to in
the affirmative, he placed a slip of paper ,
before her, on which was written—ls that
unhappy woman, called Nell M'Collum,
your mollierl
- 'A:ssi she is, Sir, replied the female, with
a aeep expression of sorrow. The magis
trate then appeared satisfi d. Now, said
he, addressing' O'Rorke, state fairly and
.honestly what you hive to say in reply to
the charge brought against you.
Please your worship, said - the young
man, you hear the woman say that she
brings no charge against me, but I can
proye,-on oath, that Nell M'Collum, along
with, two men that I don't know, except
that one was called Rody,met at Franklin's
gate, with an intention of robbing. an' it's
my firm belief of murdering this woman.
"He then detailed with great earnaftness
the incidents and conversation of the p}e
ceding nigh:.
Sir, replied Nell, with astonishing
promptness, I can prove by two Aiinesses
that no longer ago, than last night, he said
he would take to the .highroad, in or(lher
to get money to enable him to marry Ellen
Neil. Yec-you villain, Nanse M'Collum
heard every word that passed between you
smaller it theaGrassy Quarry; an' Ellen,
your Wotship, can prove it too, if she's sent
for. •
- This had little effect on the magistrate,
who at no time placed any reliance cm
Nell'a assertions: be immediately, ho Weal
ei,despatched a summons for Nanse
The carman then related all that he knew,
every word of which corroborated what
Lamb Laudber had said. He concluded
by - declaring it to be his opinion that the
prisoner was innocent, and added, that ac
cording to the best of his belief, the box
'wile not opeh when he left it in the plain
tirssleeping room above stairs. .
‘The magistrate again looked keenly and
sutpiciously towards Nell. At this stage
ache proceEdings, O'Rorke's father and
mother, accompanied by some of their
friends, made their appearance, The old
man, however, declined to take any part
in the vindication of his son. He stood
sullenly tilant, with his arms folcW and
his browslinit, as much in indignation as
m sorrow. The grief of : the ,mother was
lothlei, for she wept audibly.
Ere — the lapse of many minutes the con•
stable returned, and stated that Nanse was
nab, be fbund
She had not been at her master's house
since morning, he observed, and they don't
knaw 'where she is, or what has become of
het:'.,
The magistrate immediately despatch.
'etrtwootthe constables with strict injunc•
lions to - secure her if possible.
- In the meantime, he added, I wilt order
you. Nell NVCollum, to be strictly cOnfined.
until I ascettain whether she has been pro
duce or not. Your haunts may be search
ed with some hope of success, while you ,
are in' durance; but I rather think we
raiihkeeek fur her in vain, if you were at
lama" to ragolate her motioaq. I cannot
extinct, he added, turning to the stranger,
that you would prosecute one so nearly re
lated to -- you.• even if you had proof ; which
you have nut; but I am; lmost certain, that
kakbeen some way or other conctot net]

Nell, Sir. never bad a 'daughter, an' she
knows that; but she had a son, an' _ she
knows best what became of him.
Nell. however, resolved not tote de

and fury she attempted to drag the insen

the magistrate, disgusted at her violet - Ile,
ordered two of the persons preser,t to hold

At length the woman began to recover.

The Mutiny
The Courier and-Enquirer of the 19th
publishes a semiaoffical account of the un
fortunate affair on boardthe •Somers, from
which it appears that the brig had eighty
apprentices, eighteen ordinary seamen and
an orderly sergeant of marines, a comman •
der and lieutenant and five or six midship
men, including acting midshipinaw - opett'
cer, When a short distance frorrt.SlThorn
.as. on her return fro n the coast.of Africa,
Spencer detailed his plans to the purser's
steward, OK Wales, who pretended to
join him and learnt his whole plan, which
was to murder the officers, and seize
upon the brig . and :turn pirate. Wales
communicated the plot to the purser, who
informed Capt. Mackenzie. Spencer's pa
pers were seized which contained the de
tails of the plot; he and his two confeder.
ates Cromwell and Small were seized and
ironed; the .opinion of the officers were in
favor of their immediate execution, and af
ter a reasonable delay, for preparation
and acknowledgement of their gui't, the
three were hung at the yard arm. The
rest of the crew resumed their duty ; and
on the arrival of the brig, twelve persons
were handed over for trial—four of them
having been preVtously kept in irons on sus
picion.
These, we understand are the facts of
the case, and the Courier & Enquirer very
justly cmnments on the enormity of the of ,
fence—pictures in glowing colors the hor.
rid results of a piratical vessel of that kind,
a swift sailer, scouring the, seas, robbing
merchant vessels, arid murdering their
crews, and deems the course of Cipt. Mac.
kenzie, under all the circumstances of the
case, to have - been just and proper, and
called for by the extreme -danger' of their
position.
The - Union of the same date, from which
we quote takes ground against the course
pursued .by Capt. Mackenzie.. In this
neighborhood we heiar but one opinion e -
pressed in relation to the conduct of the

ies, 4 , e.--Tha details of the miss! brntd
m'trdeirs, rob caries, &c., are pub ished by
the Interigencer, a paper poblishedi in Van
Buren co., Ar'kansas. The outragcs were
committed on Grand River, abotit 11 mi'es
from the Grand &dine. A company of men
and women being at supper, and unsuspec
ting the approach of foes, were atttcked,
when Mr. Medley was shot dead from the
table, the ball entering the back part of his
head, and passing through hia eye. Mr.
'Finer also fell dead from the: 4.441 k. The
ladies made a' attempt to ese'.'....Attt were
soon overtaken, overtaken, and one of thbirfb - e - aten to
death; the other was so bruised and mangled
that her life is : despaired of. The murder
ers then robbed Mr. Medley of a large sum
of money, said to be abriut $llOO, and some
store goods. Mr. Medley was e merchant,
and was universally respected. The per
petrators of the hellis!l deed had not been
discovered.
From the same paper we learn that a ph).

3 fight bettoten the 'llexicans and Yu
calanese! —News to the 25th ult. ha.; been
received at New Orleans. The land and
naval Mexican force made a combined at
twk upon the heights surrounding Cam
peachy on the - 24th f November, and af
ter a desperate struggle, during which
both parties displayed the greatest bravery,
the Yucatanese were . - driven from their
strong position. The Mexicans have thus
secured great advantages, but their advert,
series appear to---be in no wi , e discouraged
in consequence.,
The day preceding the capture of the
heights of Campeachy there was a regular
engagement between dip Mexican fleet and
the six gun boa's of the Campeaehanea, itt
which the former were repulsed with con
siderable loss.
Desertions from the Mexican forces were
frequent; although every possible precau
tion was taken to prevent them. Among
the deserters are several sergeants, corpo
i..lls, and other minor officers. Great dis
satisfaction seems to prevail in the klexi,
can ranks, but tl e officers in command
continue to prevent an outbreak by 'a rigid
system of discipline.'
The Mexicans observe peat violence in
enforcing the blockade. Nevertheless,
merchant vessels laden with groceries and
provisions c4ticue to steal through the
cordon of armed vessels at night, and de;
posit their cargoes within the city. While
this continues, the Campeachanoscannot,at
all events, be starved into surrender:
At Merida-, rumors were rife there of
treachery in the highest ranks of the army
of the Yucatanoes. Gen. Pedro Limas,
the.Corntnander•in-chief of the Yucatan ar.
my, and late Secretary of War, was repre
sented as having proved
. a traitor; and the
acting Governor of Yucatan, Miguel Barbs

and resurnd the consideration of the civil
and diplomatic appropriation bill.
The Tic stion pending was still on the
motion. of Mr. Aycrigg,, to strike out the
appropriation of $50,000 fur continuing
th e coast survey under Hassler The poi
of dispute was the alleged mental and
.physical incompetency of Hassler.
Mr. Joseph It, Ingersoll having the fi•our
occupied his hour by a glowing eulogiurn
on th ,- t merits of 1-14siler.
Mr. Rf-ytiolds, complimented
Mr. Ingersoll on iList able dt.fence he had
j.ist made of. Mr. Hassler. He said U. 4
worthy friend . could not have di .play.
more energy for afq.„(langhier.) Mr.
R. proceeded to at:001i it the fair d..duc
tion fioin Mr. Inger46lN speech, was 'that
if Hassler sho u ld be discharged,the Wheels
of this great Union must stop.' He, Mr.
R., did nut want to destroy. all scientific_
works, but lie did want to have the work
suspended until the report of the survey
from Hassler should have been received,: .
Iti reply to the objection that no written
report had been received from the commit-,
tee, Mr. R. argued that a report dot's no t
necessarily consist of ink and paper, but
that a report properly emanates from the
intellect of the members of the committee
which the Almighty has given them. He
tholight the country would furnish scores
of men equally. competent as Hassler. Htt
thought thVWest Point Academy especi
ally, ought to furnish men competent to
the task. If it could not, he would Vote to
'strike it into non4-existence.' Waithere
any' great art, he would - ask, in the mere
sounding the depth of water with a piece
of lead? (laughter.) Could not any . of our
Naval officers easily Ic4n the art of ,sur
veying the coast? After further remarks
of a humorous character,Mr. R. contended
that harbors in the West were of more
importance than the Atlantic coast. He
wanted an equalization of the appio l iii,4
[inns. He then argued the necessity of
ap improvement of the Mississippi river.
141 r. Tillinghast followi3d-in a very sien•
sible speech. but. as the whole turned• up
on the alledged incompetency of a single
individual, a further notice of it, would
be interesting.
Mr. Gilmer next obtained the floor, a
midst, a crrof 'let the.. committee •
dilpier said he did not desjre the
committee to rise nri=bis- at-emu-14
A voice; • Rise Jo piter and STIE the ' moon.
Mr• Gilmer proceeded, and atgeed in
favor of a suspension of the appropriation
for the present. With - cult - concluding, he
gave way to Mr. Steenrda, who moved that
the committee rise.
The motion "to rise was negitived-- ayes
57 nces 7g.
Mr. Gilmer then resir ed, and e.oncin
ded his remarks by,...toving to, amend by
reducing the appropriation for-the aurae',
from $ 50 40-, td..201:100. - This ‘lte ac
cepted 6q Mr. ikycrigg, the mover of the
ori i nal surto .
Mr. 13urite ;fill` Mask., next obtained the
floor, hut, the hour being late, and.ihe mem.
bent being'' hungry ; the committee rose
sriihout taking the question, and reported
progress.
After the reception of some ii•ii , eniive

of inquiry, the House adfottrinsa.
