A complaint was made against a Mr. Glover, of Quincy, for a breach ot the Sabbath laws, by selling milk on Sunday. The charge was for duing work and labor in the county of Norfolk, ami the proof, that he sold the milk in Boton in Suffolk. The witnesses were Mes srs. M'Clarc and Vose, who rose at an earlier hour than usual on the 25th ot June, and walked out to watch for the detection of some person selling milk. They soon saw Mr. (ilover, avd made their complaint against him in the county of Norfolk. The justice convicted and fined him, and the defendant appealed to the common pleas. On a hearing before that court, two points were made in the defence. 14, that no crime was proved to have been committed iu Norfolk county. 2d. that if the act complained of had been proved, it was an act of necessity or mercy, and therefore no offence against the law. The judge instructed the jury that if they had doubts whether the offence was proed to have been committed in Norfolk county, or if they though that it was necessary to deal out milk in hot weather, on Sunday, they must acquit.

Agriculture and manufactures. A number of the agricultural societies have lately held their annual meetings, in thv vastcrn states We notice no small apparent progress in improvement as to agricultural concerns, and a great improvement in and extension of domestic manufactures, especially in family fabrics as well in articles of utility a those of luxury. At the yiniud fair at Hartford, Con. hearth rugs, flannels, linen diapers, shirting linen, with caryrets uul carpeting, blankets and stockings, were plentifully exhibited, and also some elegant bonnets, in imitation of Leghorn, which sold at thirtif dollars each, manufactured by one ot ou lair country women and of domestic materials. Viles. Disturbances have happened in several French garrisous, and great desertions of troops. A dreadful insurrection has broke out in Morocco, and persons of every description have been murdered. A boxing match was tough t in London the 12th Sept. between Strong, the Hampshire blacksmith, and an American, Baltimore black. Thev were at it 42 minutes, and had 8 rounds.

We haxemanv accounts sln",vi:ig that the emperor Al exander has retiid from his purpose ol forcing the people of Spain to retract their steps this is not what we expected ; we thought he was too proud to uoit: hut, perhaps, he found that Great Britain would not, and that France couh iu.t.tike a part in the iniquitous crusade which he contemplated. Spain is not wholly settled; but the cot tes manifest a firm disposition to se cure the liberties of the country, and we Ireely confide the care ot them to tha issemmy. uur accounts irom fortu gal are indefinite but it appears tha the work of revolution is going on : some suppose that it is the objert of certain patriots of that countrt to form a feder al union with pain a measure uhicl probably, would be, advantageous to both parties; Portugal being too small as to territory, even under an enliglitenci government, to maintain the stand of an independent naiion, in times like the present. She has long been nearly as a British province but Spain is her natu ral friend and allv : religion, manners and customs being common to both coun tries, with language nearly the same and if Spain adheres to her constitution and will admit Portugal on equitable terms, we believe that the general good of society would be promoted by their union under one head.

The trial of the QUKEN continues to engross the public nttention.It had progressed to the 2Ut dav, heing Sept. 9. On the 6th Sent, at tlie close of the examination of the 25th witness, the Attorney General made an unexpected request for an allowance of more time to bring forward further evidence in support of the bill. He stated that certain witnesses whose arrival had been ex pected in England, were inspiied with sudden terrors on hearing how those who preceded them had been treated at Dover, &.c. and had returned to Lugano from whence they came. He wished time to procure their attendance. On the following day, however, the Attor ney General gtated that it was ascertain ed the witnesses could not arrive as soon as he had expected, withdrew his apnli cation for adjournment, and declared the evidence closed against the Queen. He then summed up the evidence in sup. port of the bill of pains and penalties, in a speech which occupies eight columns of the Courier.

Lovdok, Sept. 8. Our readers arc aware that Ministers made the most liberal protestations of their intentions to provide her Majesty with a suitable residence in the Metropolis, and eery other accommodation, befitting her pre-eminent rank and dignity. How they have fulfilled their prom ises, will best appear from the following statement of facts. lly the direction of Ministers, a list such houses to be disposed of in London, as it was thought would suit her Majesty, was furnished to her. The first that she made choice of, was the late Duke of Queensbury,s in Picadilly. She was informed, in reply, that this house could not be obtained, but the reason was not assigned. Her Majesty nejrt chose Lady Francis's house, which has been so kindly lent to her by that lady, as a temporary residence during the present proceedings in the houe of Lords. Neither, hoewver, could this house be obtained ; and, as in the other case, no reason was assigned Perhaps the reason in the first instance, was, that the Duke of Gloucester's house is adjacent to that of the Duke. of Queenkbury; and, in the second, that Lord Castlereagh's house is next to Lady Francis's. Her Majesty then selected Cambi idgeHouse. To this it was objected that house was too dear. -We believe however, that Col. Stephenson and Mr. Greenwood have the disposal ot that Mansion, and it is said more was demanded for it than will ever be obtained. We understand, besides, that the Fitzclarence family reside in the neighborhood of Cam-bridge-liousc. Government next offered the Duke of Bedford'. House in Hamilton Place; and Dr. Lushington and Mr. Alderman Wood signed an acquiescence on the part of the Queen to accept of that mansion. This was no sooner done than a letter was received stating that it was disposed of. We will only observe that the Loitl Chancellors House is next to the Duke of Bedford's. In this manner has her Majesty, to the present moment, been left without a residence in London; and, let it be re marked, the want of a residence is a ready excuse for withholdig from the Queen the service of plate which Minu ter have promised her, and every other domestic accommodation necessary, as well to support the splendor and digni ty of Boyxity as the comfort ot ti.e. II-! ustrious Personage herself. What will the people of England say to this paltry, tantalizing mooe ot treating their Queen ! there are ,000 Austnans on their march towards Italy, and many more regiments are ordered to be in readiness. The Sicilians have 60,000 toen armed under the orders of the Junta of Paler mo ; Messina, Augusta and Trapani, are all the towns which have declared for Naples. Cataniftttta has been burnt for not taking part with the patriots, who were within 40 milei of Messina, which must surrender. It is stated in the London papers that Austria has determined to take offensive measures against Naples, the E mnernr having iefued to recive the Duke de uallo, the Minister from Naples.
