Peter Fairwcll lately obtained a verdict in the Superior Court of New York for 83.000, against the Richmond Turnpike Company, in compensation for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, from the falling of the promenade deck of the steamboat Samson, while returning from Staten Island on the 4th of July, 1839t The prin. ciples settled by the charge to the jury are of some importance to travellers, common carriers, and transporters of nncaAnrmrQ 1.

Owners of public vehides are required by law. to take great mre, and use all necessary precaution ; and defendants were wrong in supposing that less care was required in regard to persons than goods ; for good* they are hy law accountable, unless they can show that the loss arose from the act sf God or tho King's enemies. This is the common law, and the principles was equally applicable here. Having charge of human life, less cannot be required of the owners of public vehicles. 2 That the proprietors of public conveyances were bound to act impartially, with respect to persons applying for passage, though they could not legally take one and refuse another, capriciously ; yet they were bound to take no more than can be taken with safety ; and of this the proprietors, or their agents, are to be the iudsos. ? o . 3.

The invading party consisted of about fifty Mexicans; the name of their commander was not ascertained. They made a sudden descent upon the town, and took possession of it, helping themselves to every thing they could lay their hands on, and carry ing off eight prisoner*, among whom wero the district clerk, the late sheriff, and a justice of the peace. Henrv Riol, one of the captives, made a desperate resistance, killing one of the Mexicans, and wounding t\* o others, before he was overpowered. It is believed that he was afterwards killed. The Confine! adds:?,4The most unnatural and horrible destruction of private property followed. About $500 in silver was taken from a widow, and also $3000 worth of dry goods, household and kitchen furniture, <fcc. &c. Chief Justice iNeill and two other men made their escape to a neighboring wood, and the next morning returned to see the desolation of the town. It wore a frightful appearance; women and children were in great distress, having lost everything moveable; and their husbands and fathers abducted and carried away into foreign captivity. Every thing looked desolate; feathers, from the destruction of bedding, were flying about the streets, making desolation more desolate. Not an article moveable was left to these unfortunate beings. The only articles left in the town were three barrels of whiskey?whether they feared poison or drunkenness, is a matter of conjecture. A Mexican who was released the next day, represented rhev had 500 men four leagues behind; that they had previously taken San Patricio. From tho Greensborough (N. C.) Patriot TRIAL OP EDWARD HOLING. Edward Boling, the story of whose villany has for some time filled the surrounding country, was tried last Fridny on an indictment for Bigamy, at the 8u :c=?/ perior Court of Rockingham county, i before his honor Judge Nash* The rare t occurrence of the crime with which he was charged, the respectability*of the ' parties suffering from it, and the novel character of the circumstances attending the commission of the offence, conspired to draw together an unusually large! crowd of spectators. But the trial, in > c detail, turned out to be comparatively un- j ^ interesting. A very fmall portion of the ^ train of minute hut strange particulars, marking the steps of the criminal towards the accomplishment of his crime, was elicited on the examination of evidence. For the conviction of the prisoner it was rj only necessary to prove his identity, and t that he had a wife living before and at the time of his second marriage; conse- t quently the principal developements of L the trial consisted in the proof of these a barren facts. The case submitted to the | ( jury upon the charge of the Judge, and ? a verdict of "Guilty" returned after an v absence of a very few minutes. f As time will not now permit us to at * ? - I, tempt a circumstantial nnrration nt thoi" facts, as we heard them from the jtrial ^ and from other sources. Edward Boling, the son of a worthy * I Methodist minister of Caswell county, J I was married to Miss Harriet Parks, of j the same county, in July, 1888. He was ^ 19 years of age in May preceding his j marriage; h;s wife between 10 and 17. r About the last of September or first of October, 1840 a young man of genteel I appearance and pretty good address nr. t rived in Greensboro*, gavo his name as v Sidney T. Smith, and said he was from Perry county, Alabama. He went imine- 11 Jiately to the office of one of our lawyers H and delivered a letter which purported to * be from James Smith, of Ala., the writer 1 stating that he wished his son Sidney, J1 tho bearer, to prosecute the study of the law to a certnin extent, so that he might be enabled the better to manage a large property that would eventually fall to him. The letter contained some other r fatherly suggestions relative to the gui-1 i< dance of son Sidney, jusj as one would J suppose an easy old planter to write. c Young Mr. Smith secured hoarding in ^ a respectable family ; paid about as much 6 attention *o Coke and Rlachstone ns is j! generally looked for in a rich young hair- j brained student; and commenced "cutting tho gent'* in prosperous fashion. In j the most natural way in the world he < mentioned, upon suitable occasions, the ( vast possessions of the venerated Mr. f James Smith, of Perry county, Ala. ami i passed among his new acquaintances f with all the ense of "heir presumptive" to f an Alabama fortune. c In December lie left the place on a pretended visit to certain wealthy rela- ^ tions in Nottoway, Virginia, and did not * I return until February, 1S41.

F During the summer he concluded to settle in Caswell, N. CM having the offer , of a valuuble tract of Lnd from E \ward Bolinjfi and induced Mr. Brannock to as- j sist him with his namo in procuring a loan of money, until ho could realize some of his Alabama fortune. The land trade continued to be canvassed until Mr. B. J began to suspect that all was not right, asked an explanation of Smith, who con- c fessed that Boling, had managed to swin- s die him out of a large part of his money, ' wunoui giving nun a line iu mw muu? j Mr. B. fi nally had Boling arrested at Cas. ( well courthouse, and ascertained to his ? c astonishment and dismay tbnt he was the j same man who had married his daughter under the name of Sidney T. Smith. The villain continued up to the time of j his arrest to pass in Caswell as Edward, f Boling, and in Guilford as Sidney T. ^ Smith. His last wife, the daughter of Mr. B., at one time becoming uneasy at ( the protracted absence of Mr, Smith, went to the house of the elder Mr. Boling, j expecting to find there her husband in j company with young Mr. Boling, of whom t he was purchasing land. But young r Mr. Boling, on seeing her carriage, was ( taken suddenly, i//, could see no one, and passed the night in a room with his true ? wife,?no one but himself suspecting the l strange connexion existing among the t company then under his father** roof. | Such are the prominent occurrences of j this strange affair.

BIIODE ISLAND. Another convention to form a new onstitution for the State of Rhode Island s now in Session at Providence. The ournal says it is the third which has onvened for the same purpose within a ew years. We believe the one now in ession was regularly and legally called, vluch was not the case with tho "Stifrage Convention" which adjourned not ong sinctj. The present constitution of Rhode Isand is the charter originally granted by Charles II. Tiie little State has prospered well under it ; but the democratic endency of the age demands a change n its provisions?particularly with rejnrd to tne extension of the right of suf'rage, which at present, we believe, is :onfined to freeholders. We may note that in every State which ins introduced changes in its constitution incc the Revolution, such changes hnve ended to the further diffusion of the dernicratic principle. We use this phrare vithout regard to party distinctions ; for t predominates in .ill parties to such * ! groe n& to constitute tho characteristic pint of the tim^s. Some of these con tiiutfoual changes have been in reference ?> the universal diffusion of the right of uffrage, abolishing nil qualiReasons of iroporty; others altering the tenure of udieial service, and introducing a term ?f yearn instead of the old rule of good lehaviour; others have brought thcelee. ions of the Executive and other officers lirectly before the People, and, in some :nses, we believe, judges have become ubject to the popular choice. It will be well if this tendency stops vith the reformation of real abuses. Our institutions of Government, both State r>d National, are in their true nature rpublican; they include the represenlaive principle, and unite with it the idea f h permanent sovereignty ; they are dapted to give expression to the popular rill as it may change from time to time, nd also to concentrate and to hold stead> ant the solemn, sober, and profound seniments of the People, a* uttered calmly, n deep reflection, and under a sense of he weighty responsibility of self-governaenf.

We^give place, below, to a common i. % cation nominating Mr. Wakdlaw for the Presidency of this institution, and copy, from the South Carolinian, a communi* cation to that paper, nominating Chan* ceilor Job Johnsok for the same office. Wo still hope the heofth of President Barnwell may bo ao far restored as to enable him to discharge the duties of this important office, and that'lie may be prevailed upon to accede to the very gene* ral and ardent wish of the whole State, by again accepting the appointment from the trustees. Should this, however, not be the case, an election of some other person will probably lie made during the approaching session of the Legislature. The great popularity and prosperity of the college for several years past are to be ascribed mainly to the decidedly rrligioue character of President Barnwell and Pro. i fessor Elliot. We are very far from ,! meaning any disparagement to the other | respectable professors who were associated with them, or to the other qualifications for which they were themselves distinguished Neither do we' mean that religious character alone would satisfy the public. What we do mean is that other j qualifications^ however, eminent, wouid not satisfy the public, as past experience most abundantly proves. If the trustees wish the prosperity and usefulness of the .

The institution, under the auspices of wise legislation has assumed an enviable standing among her sister colleges! and pub* lie nvoney cannot be laid out more advaotageously, nor produce a richer harvest in any other field, than this. It is deeply, to be regretted that President Barnwell could a*>t have been retained in the position which he filled with so much ability and success. The 1* # public confidence will not however be impau ed if a proper person is selected to fill this vacancy. The time is approaching whet the Board of Trustees *il< be called upoa te make this selection.
