| Extraordiuary Trial.?A-iriul took place
| not long ago, before the Criminal Court of
Grenada. For some years past.there had
been residing in the village of Ugij rr, a
I charitable individual, named Don Vincente
! de Bentavaly Sesar, whose whole fortune
was devoted to improving the condition of
J the villagers and relieving the poor. To j
such an extent did Don Vincente carry his \
charity that ho denied himself almost the 1
necessaries of life in order to succor the no- I
cessitous, and lie has been known to take I
take a cloak front his own back to cover that ;
of a poor frniule who was without one.
Suddenly, the peaceful inhabitatrs were al* i
armed at accounts of murders committed I
in iiieir neighborhood, and all attempts to "i
discover jheir origin were in vain. It was i
mendv known from lire circumstances at- i
-- 0 - l I
tru ling them, that they must imve oeeu
committed by same hand- Suddenly,
how ever, the mystery wfrs lo be "revealed. I
Two peasants, who had entered a recess lo <
shelter themselves from the sun, nnd eat i
their mid-d.>v meal, were startled by the fir- j
ing of a gun, and running our, they saw the <
ho ly of a murdered man, urid the murderer I
standing over him rifling his pockets. They I
threw themselves upon the assassin, and I
having secured him were iti the greatest as. '
tonishmont at seeing that it was the chnri- t
table Don Vin< ente. < As the denial of the I
crime before him was impossible, he admitted
that he was the author of all the mur- t
ders which had been committed and seated .<
that Ins only motive'was lo obtain money
?his own resources being exhausted? for
;he poor. In his deP-nce before th? Judges, s
he 'declared that hfo first murder was of a j J
wealthy priest, which took place under the ; i
following circumstances: t
hi* Don Vincente's village, two young ; |
persons \vere betrothed lo each other, but a s
sudden calamity which occured to ihe futh- r
er ofilie.female prevented his paying the
promised por'ion wi h his daughter, and the z
marriage was on the point of being broke r
o'fl. Don V"incente hearing of the circumstances,
resolved to raise ihe money and applied
lo several of his acquaintances for a ?
loan, but received a refusal from all. Shoitly ;
afterward he met the priest cn the road, and
asked him to lend-him thirty ounces oTgold;
the priest, who knew him well repliyd" thut 1
he had 100 ounces in his portmanteau on 1
the back of his piule, nndthat he jvas wcl- ?
come to all; bill Don Vinccnitt having af- t
terwnrd, in ho* my, -folJ him .for what pur- c
pose the* roonyy was intended, the priest .j fc
hru'ghed 5t hifn, and .said he was mad and \"
lijKj.for such afftirp <se he should not have a k
single cmuoe. Don Vincenle, iftttatpd at this d
$bot-.hi|p .dead; and having taken his gold, >
gave the wedding dowry, and distributed ?
the rest-in varuftls acts of charity. Havipg ^
committed this murder, he resolved to rhuku t
Hie rohhery'of the ric"h the rnea'ns of supplying
the continued demands of his poor pen- ^
simpers; and a*, this was only-to be done by t
taking life, he committed murder hfer mur- c
der uptil he was de;ec:ed. On hearing the e
sentence of dea.h 'pronounced upon him by 0
his judge, he exclaimed " Oh my (Jod ! who ?

may here observe that. t)r. J-."T\ Boyle Jias
just published an intelligent pamphlet entitled
"On the Cultivation of CoPon in India."
The Philadelphia National Gazette, re.
marking on this paragraph, observes :

The allusions to Sir Robert Peel refer
to a prediction of the Hon. Baronet that
the dissolution of this Union would be effected
by the cultivation of cotton in Ind'a for
the full supply of the British manufactures,
thus cutting off from .the Southern States
almost their sole-source of wealth.
We believe thai the remarks of the Gazette
indicate what woulJ be the course of
things in the event of the consummation i
alluded to. The importance of the home 1

is already acknowledged. Bait. American

PROBABLY PIRACY AND MURDUR OF MANY PAS**
SKNGERS. . *
Tire French ship La Lise, from tho.Mauritlis
for Dordeau, was wrecked on the Agufhas
Rocks, not from the Capo of Good H$pp, in
February last. A great many passengers,
both at Mauntus and the Island of liourbon,
had embarked in her,'relying ujion her known
good qualities, and the experience of Captain
Lcchachoux, who commanded her. From
causes hitherto inexplicable," thecaptain, all
the officers and passenger^ and the cabin strvants
have perished, while tho whole 0/ the
crew, including a man who had faden before
lhe*wreck and broken one of his thighs, together
with a man who had taken his passage in
tho forecastle, and ofcoursb lived and mewed
..Mib 1 Rflilors. were saved, and have reached
rr uii ? < v
the Cape, and made a declaration a* to the
loss of the Bhip. The English authorities,
however, observing that the sailers fiad
brought w 1th" them all their own effects, the
trunks of the passengers, and other valuables,
and that they were spending money very freely,
entered upon a rigid inquiry. While this
was pending, the sea cast 011 shore the captain,
ancl several of the passengers who exhibited
numerous wounds and bruises, evidently inflicted
previous to the wreck. Measures have
accordingly been taken to discover the truth,
and punish whoever may be found to have
been guilty. - - ,

Singular case of Somnambulism.?A maifc
very respe6i*ble in his station as a working h
jeweller, lived with an only child, a daughter, ^
in quiet and comfort, putting aside all his ear- .

she would be married to a (nan-in her own la
station; but for some time, some months, he y
had observed that he was robbed, that articles
entrusted to him to alter, that gold given to 11
him for the purpose of manufacturing into jew- si
ellcry, vanished between the night and the di
morning. The poor man bore this for soma G(
months; but after having disbursed all that .
which he had laid aside for his daughter's ,r
portion, in replacing articles of which he be- r(
came convinced that child had robbed him, he
steeled his heart against all her protestations
of innocence, and drove her from bis presence.
On the following day he again missed an ob- w
jecl of value, which she Could not have pur- pi
joined. The second Higljt ho brdke a wine Jc
glass on the table of his bed-roetn, and having
gathered the large fragments retired to bed. y
Toward day-break he wjke up, tormented by
a pain in his foot, when he found that he liau al
in it a piece of bvoken glass. This proved that
ho must have been standing upon the table, and
ha then reinoun'eil it, and was convinced t!iat he I
