then assembled and took testimony--sweiring
the witnesses, keeping an accurate record nt the

Ist December, the officers presented a communlp
cation to Capt. MacKenzie, stating that they were
convinced that Spencer,Small, and Cromwell were
engaged in a mutiny; that it would be impassible
to convey thews-4,1y to the United States, and
that. they wero of opinon that a due regard to the
safety of the vessel, and their own lives, required
that those three should be put to death. This o .
pinion they gave, they said, after due considera,
Lion and tegard to their duty to their God, their
country, and thimselreq. In this Captain Mae•
kenzie coincided, and also in the opinion they
expressed that the other prisoners cuutd be carri -
ed In the United States—as the three chief con
spirators alone were capable of navigating the
vessel. Toe men were then armed, and Capt.
Mackenzie addretwed them.
Preparations were then made fur hanging the
three conspirators at the maim yard arm. Captain
Mackenzie then put on his full uniform, and corn
municated to Spencer his fate, giving him ten
minutes to write any communication he might
please, for env of his relations. He then laid Crom
well and Small their fate. Cromwell protested
his innocence, and celled on the name or his wife.
Spencer also said so at first; but.on another co
munieation taking place, he said no more of his
innocence, it having been told him that it was as
certi•ined Cromwell had only intended to make
use of him, perhane, as a secretary, nr otherwise
dispose of him if he foumbhim refractory. Spells
eer refused to write any letter; but said he wish
ed his father and mother all happiness. Ile said,
also, it would kill his poor mother; and this (Gip'.
M. said) was the first time he knew Spencer had
a mother. He said that he was afraid it would
injurerilis father. Capt. M. said it would have in•
jereel him mire if lie had succeeded; and, in a long
Coll ' v ,, rsai ion, said it was better he should die then,
;s, if he went to the United States, he would es
cape, it• there was no • jrrstire for those who had '
ienthe and money in the United States. He also
confessed that he had had the same project on
heard the Johit Adams and Potomac. After fur
thee conversation, he asked how he was to die;
and objected to being hung, and wished to be shot.
He also wished to be allowed ruinous. and was
not hurried. Ho was furnished, at his own request,
with a Bible and Prayer. book; and, eller upwards
of an hour had elapsed, they were led out.
Spencer asked Mr. %Vales to forgive him for
having attempted to seduce him, which was grant
ed. He asked forgiveness also from Small; on
which Small drew back with horror, and refused,
with an exclamation, saying they should meet at
the bar ot God. Afterwards, however, on the so
liebution of Captain Mackenzie, Small did forgive
Spencer; and Captain M. asked Small to forgive
! him if he had done eny thing to him whirl, he
ought not; on which Snail said that Captain M.
"was right, and was doing his duty;" and he then
iequeeed the his topmates would give him a
quick and easy death. Spencer also asked to be
allowed to give the word to fire the gun which was
to he the signal of his death. This was acceded

Commerce.
The following statement, presenting a
comparative view of trade on our Improve
ment for the years 1841-'42, will no doubt
prove interesting to the business commu
nity. They have been preparad for the
"Post" by the Collector of Tolls at this
place, and may be relied upon as strictly
accu rate.
On exa-nining these statements we find
that the freights from the West, amount
to between five and six thousand tons, in
1542, more than they did in the preceding
year, while those from the East (excluding
the items of Salt and Blooms) are between
eight aid nine thousand tons less.
However this may affect the revenue
from that quarter for the present, the de
fiai.•ncy must be more than made up dur
ing the ensuing ear—the heavy shipments
of Western produce and light purchases
during the past season, cannot fail, with the
abundant crops now un hand, to place our
Western Merchants on better footing, in
the Eastern market, than they have been
for years past.
Under such circumstance, it would seem
that the introduction of the Portable Boat
System, and the regulation of freight by
the active competition inseparable from
individual enterprise, is alone necessary to
secure to our Canals and Rail Roads a brisk
and profitable trade next season.
Bnt the cuurse of trade between the
East and West, as indicated by these state
ments, is, to us, the most pleasing item of
information they afford. Here we have
undoubted evidence that, instead of in
creasing our liabilities-to the East, as has
been our custom, we have been diminish
ing them, materially—.-that instead of sur
plus purchases on a foreign cledit, we
have been sending the fruits of our indus .
toy inexchange for the mercyntile cim
moduies we require.
We already experience the good of
(em s of this wholesome state of tracle, for
we cuk, see Leo other cause to which the
present - vaxtreinely low rates of Eastetn
Exchange, 'as quotta. la tho Post of the
129th ult.; ean be justly ascribed .' And if 1
the great West ,with her tract and rapidly i
irwreising resources willitttily adhere tut
this course—if she will estimate her ex.. l
penditures by her ample means, and guard
against Cie certain and blighting effects of,
bank inflations, and a false credit system;
her present depressed condition will soon
be lost sight of and forgotten, in a state of,
sounitand enduring prosperity.

NOM—Previous to 1841,, the fiscal year began
on the Ist of Nov. and ended OA. Ist. Hence
the above tonnaire for 1811 includes that of Nov.
1810; whereas the tonnage for the past yeas-1842
was carried (with the exception of a few items in
1.).e. 1841) between the opening and elm' ng of
tie Canal. Taking this tact in view, the abov.
statement exhibits a very flats ring increase of

Copperhead—That', a rub at you King-damns;
but Sam won't say much, he'll b•e afraid of 103-

Ktogsdamns—Tbe fact is, you had as much to
do with that busine=o ; Copperhead, as I had, but
you kept in the dark, and the whole brunt of the
matter was on my shoulders.
Swaddy—lt makes no difference about Sam: I
hate these Clay whigs anyhow, and as far as Pin
concerned, I'll never vote for one of them as long
as I live.
Fir Layer--0, I know a ennd many whig,s who

Lazy box maker.—lt's truth, gentlemen: the
collection of county Taxes alone ain't worth at+
tending to, and M'Clelland says. if I don't
g. t both this year, I shan't attend to it at all. He
says it's just spending time for nothing,
Wet Andy—Well but L'zy, 1 don't think you'l
get the county collecting next year, Morrison
won't go in for any 'Anti Mason again.
Lazy boxer—lts no use to any body to have one
without the other. I can't do any thing else, the
days are so short now, after breakfast. By the
time! go over to George Weyman's and warm
myself a little, its dinner time; after dinner I gen
