The following case from an English paper,inny tend to strengthen the doubts which are sometimes entertained, whether in every case of Jury trial it furnishes the surest road to justice. Abingdon, July 12. William Nicholls and George Poll were

I charged with stealing sheep, the property

ot James Parker ot rarnngdon. Several witnesses were called, and from their testimony it appeared that the sheep was not missed until several davs after it

was stated to have been stolen. Not one ol

the witnesses appeared to know any thing about dates, each on answering, when ask

ed upon these points, "that he was no schol

ar and could not tell.' Stephen Gurten, the Shepherd of Mr. Parker, stated, that he had not missed, the sheep, though he was in care of the fold fur some time. His examination bv Mr. Jus-

lice bii rrough produced a good deal of laughter in court. Did you count your sheep every day ? No, I did not. How many were there? Twenty-one. Why did you not count them? Because maister was ick. (A laugh.) Where were the sheep kept? In the fold in a plough field. Night and day ? Yes. What were they doing there? Why eating turnips. Were they hurdled there? Yes. Did they ever get over the hurdles ? Yes. How came they to get over the hurdles? Because tho hurdles was broken. How came vou to use broken hurdles?

Because we had no better. (A laugh.)

1 hat would be a reason lor being moie

careful, and yet you never counted them ?

No. You are a rare shepherd. Pray when

did you first know you lust a sheep? No answer.

Did you make any discovery at all about

the sheep? Yes.

When? No answer. What did you discover? Nothing. (A laugh.) Ilad the sheep any mark ? Yes, a middle mark, and she was sorer. (A laugh.) Had she a slit in the car? Yes. "Was it a halfpenny slit? (The witness laughed out as if he thought a jokw was put upon him.) iIr. Curwood Now, sir, you may go and get your own ear slit, that you may know yourself again. Let me ask you do vou know the day when the sheep was lost? I'm no scholard. Do you know the date when the sheep was first missed? 1 am no scholard. The Judge then summed up, and told the Jury that as to Nicholls there was scarcely any evider.ee against him, and lie was sure they would feel no ditficulty in acquitting him. The case with resocct to the other

was not so slight, still a great deal of doubt appeared to him to be about it. The Jurj- turned round in the box, and spent about a quarter of an hour in a very noisy consultation. At length a few who stood in front of the box turned round Gentlemen, arc you agreed ?" Juryman Why, we find'em guilty. Mr. Justice Burrough What, both guilty ? Juryman Arc. The Judge Nicholls guilty! Of what? J uryman. Why taking the money for the sheep.

The Judge. Gentlemen, that is not the

The charge is for stealing sheep

there is not a shadow of evidence against Nicholls. However, never mind, I can cure that. Gentlemen, pray put your heads together and consider your verdict. Jurymanr (After turning round.) Well, then, we rind Pell guilty, and we acquit Nicholls. Clerk of the court. Then, gentlemen, I am to understand your verdict to be, that Pell is guilty, and Nicholls not guilty. Another Juryman. No; George Pell is not guilt. The Judge. For God's sake, gentlemen, mind what vou are about. Go back and consult. The Jurymen, after a few minutes consideration, returned a verdict of guilty against Peh, and not guilty as to Nicholls. The Judge ordered Nicholls to be discharged, and stated to Pell that his punishment should not be severe

Anticipation of Englishmen respecting America: Quotations from an article in the Supplement to the Encyclopedia Britanica, written by Mr. Maglaren. "The people of the United States find themselves in a condition to devote their whole enenries to the cultivation of their vast natural resources; undisturbed by wars, unburdened by oppressive taxes, unfettered by old prejudices and corruptions. Enjoying the united advantages of an infant and mature society, they are able to apply the

highly refined science and art of Europe to the improvement of the virgin soil, and unoccupied natural riches of America. Thev start unencumbered by a thousand evils, political and moral, which w eigh dow n the energies of the old world. The volume of our history, lies before them; they may adopt our improvements, avoid our errors, take warning from our sullerings: and with the combined lights of our experience and their own, build up a more perfect form of society. Even already they have given some momentous, and some salutary truth? to the world. It is their rapid growth which has first developed the astonishing results of the productive powers of population. We can now calculate with considerable certainty that Ameriea, which yet presents to the e)e generally, the aspect of an untrodden forest, will in the short space of one century surpass Europe in the number of its inhabitantWe even hazard little in predicting that be fore the tide of population lias rolled back to its original seats, Assyria, Persia, and Palestine, an intelligent population of twe or three hundred millions, will hate overspread the new world, and have extended the empire of knowledge and of the arts, from Cape Horn to Alska. Among the ast mass of civilized men there will be but two languages spoken. The elFects of this single circumstance in accelerating the progress of society can scarcely be calculated. What a held will then be opened to the man of science, the artist, the popular writer who addresses a hundred millions of educated persons! What a stimulus given to mental energy and social improvement, when every new idea, and every useful discovery, will be communicated instantaneously to a great mass of intelligent beings, by the electric agency cf the post and press! Imagination is lost in attempting to estimate the ejects of such accumulated means and pow ers. One result however may be anticipated. America w ill then become the centre of knowledge, civilization and power."

Dandy s Creed. I believe that a gentleman is any person with a tolerable suit of clothes, and a watch and snuil-box in his pocket. I believe that honor means standing tire well ; that advice means affront ; and conviction a leaden pill. I believe that my character would be lost beyond redemption, if I did not change my dress four times a day, bilk my Schneider, wear a Petershan tye and patronize Ho by for boots.- I believe that playing a rouge et noir ii the onh honorable way of getting a livelihood; that a man of honor never pays his tradesmen, because "they are a pack of scoundrels and that buying goods meansordering themwithout the purpose of paying. I believe that debts U a necessary evil. 1 believe that the word dress means nakedness in females; that husband is a person engaged to pay a woman's debts; that economy means pusillanimity; that a coachman is an accomplished nobleman; and that any person talking about decency is a bore.--I believe that there is not a cleverer or prettier fellow in the town than myself; and that as far a? rev gards w omen, 1 am altogether irresistible.

Typographical Errors. Of all the incidents in the lives and writings, the doings and suite rings of those who proide for public amusement, by the manufacture of new spapers, there are none more vexatious, than the discoveries they sometimes make of the ridiculous errors in their own works, which the most anxious care will not always prevent, nor are any more amusing than the ob servations of the singular mistakes in the

publications of others. Some supernumera-

Hamburgh papers mention several destructive: fires in that quarter, w hich the inhabitants were unable to quench, on account of the scarcity of water. Several entire villages have been consumed. In the town of Jusen alone, 193 houses have been destroyed, and two hundred families reduced to the greatest distress. In the village of Hansdrof, out of 50 houses, only 9 remained unburnt. Eight persons perished in the ilames. 15 2 houses with adjacent buildings, were burned in Berleherg, near Erankfort. Tha drought seems to have extended over the whole continent. The magistrates of Hague have made it penal to wash the fronts of houses oc walks on account of the scarcity of water. Books in Russia. Previously to the year IS 17, the number of works printed in Russia did not exceed 4000, about the same number as is annually contained in the catalogues of the fair at Leipsic. This number is new augmented to about 8003. There are, at Moscow, nine literary and ten printing establishments; at St. Petersburgh, nine of the former, and fifteen of the latter; and in various other towns, one of each. In the whole empire are nine letter found lies There are, at present, fifteen periodical papers in the four provinces of the Baltic. It is very fashionable to publish amusing superscriptions of letters: the following, addressed to General Clark, w hen he w as Governor of Missouri territory, by an English travelling preacher, is entitled to a place: uTo His Madjcsty William Clerk, Sovereign and Governor of the Territory of Missury, in the United States of America, St. Lewis, This with care and speed: Favored by the male.'"

vigilcnce of the weary eves, and when it is

too late for correction, he appears standing up to pervert mischievously the true intent and meaning of the writer and sometimes to cover him with shanle. Thus, wTe read in a late religious paper, a melancholy lamentation over the "immortality" of the present age, learn with surprise that an "immoral life" is the high reward of earthly virtue, and find from a Western editor, that the thermometer during the present month, in that region, rose to 900 above Zero, a temperature more intense than that which has set fire to ice houses in latitudes further South. A Pennsylvania paper has furnished a specimen of another style of misprinting more atrocious than all these. After

correcting an error relating to the geographical position of Grand Island, the article furnishes the following description of its magnificent scenery: "The island purchased by Major Noah is thus described in Morse's Gazeteer: "Jesse Upton, of Randolph county, N. C. beat his wife's brains out with an oaken bench, on the 31st of May, and made his es-

The husband was constantly complaining to him of the temper and disposition of his daughter. "You are right," said Rose, "she is an impertinent jade, and if I hear more complaints of her, I will disinherit her." The husband made no more complaints of his wife.

Tea-Party. At a tea-party, where some Cantabs happened to be present, after the dish had been handed round, the lady, who was presiding over the tea equipage, "hoped the tea was good." Very good, indeed, madam," was the general reply, until it came to the turn of one of fhe Cantabs to

French Trajislations.
