Between thee eome conversation wh observed to take place, alter which Armstrong was called out of he rank, and the governor repreented him as eing the ringleader of a mutiny. The latter nade pome reply, but it was in so low a tone hat it conld tiot be heard by the outsiders After a little time the timbers of a six pounder Jwere brought into the circle, and Armstrong orI'.ered to strip and be tied to it lie then, by the ;overoor's orders, received eiht hundred lahes. hich were inflicted on him by Mack slaves, who :vere itisfrucied through the medium of the linguist.

Governor Wall reached England duriug the )lloing month, when he forwarded a dispatch v the Secretary of State, wherein he announced 1,6 arrival, and detailtd the condition in which IfcbaJ left the colony, but made eo mention of jmiy mutiny having taken place.

The j round of ibe prisoner's defense, be said,, was 'the exUtedcw of a mutiny, necessary to b re pressed by such punisbmeat as wn lufiictel on .rroiu-ong," in reference to which the learned counsel remarked that if mutiny or tumultnous liaobedieoce by a milittrj man to his superior was not brought forward as a pretense, std in order to serve as a cover and cloak for ab-ised power and the malicious perversion of legitiaa'e utberity; if. in polct of fact, there did exist a AatioY ia the garrison which it required the strong area of power to ioppres; if it was a ia -inj eo eLorrrocs in its s!ze, so dangerous ir its Orobable and immediate consequences, as to supercele the ordinary forms of trial for that, or ueb like offen-Mse he did Dot deeire that the prisoner should be looked v.p4fl other thu an innocent mao,"even a meritorious msn. ho uses the efTectiva pfiwera with which his sitct'jon 1 arms him, or which he has it within his reic'-. to command and ose for the discharge of the trust nd the protection of the Interests committed to hits" In defining the law pro vi Jed to meet cast 1 of rn-litsry trscsgreiiion, the Attorny General "There are two speciee of trial which the lw has appointed for the punishment of military oflerne. There is a trial by a general coart partial, and a trial by a regimental court-martial. The crime in which this man (Armstrong) 4 charged, is, I apprehend, peculiarly and solely appropriated to the cognisance of a general courtmartial. If I do tot misapprehend the pr vi loci and pro;r construction of the mutinj act, mutiny speciCcallv as an offence of that ntne and deacriptioa is not cognizible by a regimenal court-caartial. A regimental court-martial i to take cognizance of, and inquire into such disputes or criminal matieri is may come ber' re them, and rejjire the inüictioa ol corporal pmHhmeats for small ofTencrä; now, that certainly doe. not intluJe mutiny, for mutiny is pnn'sl ei with death! Ue then described the different modes of procedure in p,eueral and regimental courts martial, and added that in sudden emergencies, a cae might ariae where ii was ceccsssry for a military othcer to inhict immediate and severe puni-hmetit without having recourse to a court-martial of any kind; but that uch a cse would crry its own ja-itiScition with it He charged the jury, that m the inquiry upon which they wre then enat lb-v hid to consiirr; first, whether Armstfot.g'rf death wa occai.ioi.ed by the net or order of the prisoner of which i here was no doubt; and, secondly, that it was incumbent on the accused "to show theexV.ence of crime in the ptisoner, (Armstrong,) and the impoisihility of a regular trial for the sirne, and the reasonable fitnes of the means substituted and re.orted toio the place of trial." In fact, that detth having resulted from punishment originated from Governor Wall's command, it was oeceery for tkit entletueu to show "that there was a trial such as the law requires In the case of general courts martial, or regimental courts mirti.!," or tint the immediate urgency of the case juitihed the punishment for the ne cessary preervation of the kettiement, the inte rests of which htV.ad peculisrly and immediitcly under hia charge It was necessary for him to prove thit a mutiny actuilly did exist, and then that the ordimry modes of trial could cot be resorted to. and th-it there w"no waulon abue of power in the infliction of puni-hnient " On the prt of the prosecution it was nhowu that no mutinous proceedings took place, though it was admitted that there existed in the garrison a degree of uneasiness and discontent on account of the apprehension among the soldiers that the arretrs due to them for ehort allowance would not be paid, and that the Governor and Commissary would slip away from the colony without making any i-ettlement. Governor Wall, however, suted. and produced witne-.es to tes-

tify, that the soldiers hail made their appearance j several tia.es in a men icitig arid threatening attitude, and thit their gestures, inAfiner. halloo ing in fact, everything denoted mutiny. Also, thst in one instance the Governor went down to the parade and found that n :-r.soncr hid escaped, and the pentinel, whose tlutv it sa to take c-.ie of this prisoner, had put trs bayonet to the Governor' breast nn act highly mutinous The Ert of thee st-itemcnts wa ll illy contradicted by the evidei re for the Crown, L;cli proved that the fir's were ; we luve already narrated them, thp most imnjrtaiit witt e-- being Orderlv Setgear.t of the dy, who ws in ;ittettd ine oi th? Governor. And with reference to the second ttitement, the earne witness .id thit when the Governor went to the btrracks he attended him at pome distance, as was his duty, and that from the birr.icks Mr '.Vail ran hastily down, and began beating one of the men, who appeared to be in liquor, and then taking the bayonet from the sentry, be.tt him with that al?o, and then had them both confined. Governor Wall declared in his defense that the officers, on being as-embled at thf government-house, had all agreed that immediate punishment was necessary, and that Armstrong wag duly tried by a regimental court martial, "not having power at that time to form auy other." He further said that the offender was charged by him at this court-martial with tho mutiny, and that he chose not to take his life, and try him before a gereral court martial, but to try him by a regimental court-martial, which has the dis cretion to inflict an inferior punishment. Unfor tunttely for Mr. Wall, the officers who he alleged had taken part in these proceedings, and who could have been brought forward at the time when he w as first arrested on the ch trge, were all numbered among the dead. On the other hard, however, several witnesses were called to prove that they had seen nothing which bore the appearance of a trial. As an excuse for the punishment not being ia fiicted with the usual instruments the cat onine tails with which military punishments are inflicted it wts stated that these had been de stroyed, and that the drummers, whose duty it was to intlict punishment, were in the mutiny, which latter accounted for the blacks having been employed. The surgeon who was in attendance at the time said that the reason he made no rep resentation of the inability of the man to bear the punishment was that owing to tbe novelty of the instrument urd, he was deceived as to the reult. The effect of this he afterward found was to bruise instead of to cut, as is the case when the cat is used, ar.J mortifi itioa was more likely to ensue from bruises than cuts. The f ict of Governor Wall having made no report of the mutiny in hisdi-pAtch transmitted to tbe Government on his return to England, and the improbability that he would have left the Colony the following day, if any emeute of the nature he reprecnted had occurred, were strongly preyed on the part of the prosecution In reply to this, he aid that his own state of health, and the rapid advance of the sickly season, rendered it necessary that he should lo.-e no time in quitting that climate THE VXXDICT. The jury, after sn abience from the court of half au hour, returned verdict of guilty; and a tew days afterward, "the uufortuntte bat guilty Governor" eufered the extreme penalty of the law, amid the b saes, groans aud shoutings of the spectators. This cae, and the trial, which lasted fourteen hour, excited the public curiosity in a degree, "perhsps hitherto urequaled in tbe annals of the country " The puni.-hment was considered as exemplary," and as evincing the wisdom. puiiiy and irooTtiality of British justice A trrbatim report of the ca$c is given in " Howell's State Trials." volume 2S. and a con denied account ia the " Annual Kegiter," for lU'J, and its study may prove instructive at.d suggestive to all who delegate to o'hers or themselves executive powers not warranted by law. They will find from its peruatl that if Governor Wall had orought his alleged case of mutiny be fore the tribunal bavitij proper cogn'z nce of ; such an cfJVn-e. whatever the verdict of tht tri- j bunal had been, and however er:ous its results, he would have been houiat!i c quitted of the ! grave charge brought agan; Llin It was thej ahuecf power that led to hi. deploi af.ie cTas- !

Likew se, I will guarantee a radical cure of Syphilis, Gonrrho?a and Uleet, in all their stares entirely removing from the blood the last spark of these terrible diseases that s gradually burn up the fountain of life. Diseases and Conditions Peculiar to Females, The beauty and extreme delicacy of the female orgaaliation, to say nothing of Its phjiological characteristics, are sufficient Indications that it is cub ect to forms of disease and modifications peculiar to itself. The physician of the present day does not encounter any more forms of ut-rine dieaes than did the physician of fifty years ag; but owing to the present oc:al condition of woman, her diseases are Increased to frequency , and to the truth of this assertion the melancholy deaths by consumption bear aap.e witness. At the American Dispensary we treat by a new method, and with tbe happiest remits, Trolapsus Uteri, (falhrg cf tha womt.)
