COJsTICTIOJf OF THE PIRATES. The Boston papers of Thursday are largely occupied with particulars in relation to the Pirates, against seven of whom a verdict of guilty lias been rendered. Thej trial appears to have excited an unusual degree of interest in tho Boston community, and hence the journalists have paid unusual attention to it, most of them having given the details in full. It occupied the attention of the court, jury and counsel for seventeen days, iucluding two

Sabbaths; during the whole period the court ruom was crowded to excess, and for the last three days many of the seats were filled with ladies. The prisoners convicted are Pedro Cibert, captain of the Pinda, Bernado dc Soto, first mate, Farcisco Rucz, carpenter, Manuel Boga, Manuel Castello, Angel Garcia, and Juan Montenegro, seamen of the Pinda. The five acquitted arejfNicoh Costa, cabin boy, Antonio Ferrier, black cook, supposed to be a slave, Domingo Gutzman, an Indian, and native of Sumatra, Jose Velasquez, and Jose B isilio do Castro, seamen of the Pinda. Each of the seven convicts, (excepting tho captain and mate,) were proved to have boarded the Mexican at the

time of the robbery. Costa being but 15 years old at the time, and Ferrier, tho cook, being presumed to be a slave, were considered as not responsible for the piracy, and against the other three there j- sir . . i .

was not proot sufficient to attach tne crime incontestibly upon them. The jury, in consequence, as they said, of tho generous and self-sacrificing .act of Bernado de Soto, in saving the crew of the American ship Minerva, requested the court to present his case to the merciful consideration of the government, and

Judge Story replied, that it wuul j bo done with the greatest pleasure." The Boston Post stales thai a general express

ion of applause was manifested by the audience upon the acquittal of Costa, but was instantly 'suppressed by Judge Story, who ordered the officers to bring to tho bar, instantly, any one who should again disturb the court by uny expression of ap

plause or disapprobation.

Captain Gibert remained calm, quiet, and perctly self-collected throughout the forenoon, and

not the least change in his countenance was per

ceptible when the verdict was interpreted to him. wri r. . . .i l i.

"ttcn ic the maker of mousctrajx an engineer" So wiote an old English satirist wc forget whom as quoted by the elder d'lsrali; and if ho had seen what wc did yesterday, he might have writtcu so without any satire. Mr. Joseph Hamilton of this city has invented a Rat trap and it will do just as well for mice--which we take it will do the business for those ravenous rascals. It is as wo verily believe, the ncplus ultra in tint department of "Civil Engineering," and tho ingenious contriver will, we doubt not, live under the listing execration of tho cat family throughout Christendom; for there w ill bo no further use for their ser

vices. "Othello's occupation's gone." We have ft m a

seen numerous machines constructed lor the purpose of inveigling rats and mice to their own destruction, but nothing equal to this. We cannot describe it, for we are not "up to trap," but it is just the thing, we can assuro "all concerned;" and we advise every body to buy one. It costs but a dollar, and must, without doubt, clear any man or woman's premises of that most troublesome vermin in a few days. The entrance into it is through

a sheet iron door, which revolves instantaneously

tho murderers. After Mr. Mesjeu was dragged from tho ehantee, they called to him to go on hi knees and siy his prayer?, for that ho hud but a minute to live and whilo in that attitude thoy deliberately fixed four bullets into his body! A letter from a respectable gentleman reading near the scene of outiage, rcceitcd ycstculay evening, says: "I omitted to mention ycsttiday, that in addition to two SuperiulenJcnts that were tnurdcrcd, was one that received a charge of shot in hia body, which, however, will not provo serious in its consequences.

Indiana Journal, Dec. 9.

The Legislature is getting fairly under vay,

having, during the last week, completed all the

elections, and imposed pretty heavy tasks upon se

veral of the standing committees. The Govern

or's Message was dissected, and the various parts of it referred to appropriate committees in the

Senate on Friday, and in the House of Represen

tatives on yesterday. Several interesting reports were yesterday received and ordered to be printed;

among which was one by the President of the Stat

Bank, setting forth, in an able and interesting manner, the operations of the Board of Directors

during the past year; and one from the board o

directors of the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis

Kail road Company, giving a lucid and very satis factory exposition of the progress and future pros

pcui. oi mat important oraneu oi internal improvement. Somo opposition was made to the printing of the latter on the ground that it contained merely the operations of a private company in which the

state had no peculiar interest, but the printing was

ordered by a large majority.

Lore and suicide. Great interest has been

excited at Taunton by a tragical but romantic in

cident which occurred on Saturday last. A pretty

girl, called ivlary rainier, had lived as a servant

with the man who keeps tlie Infant School in this town, and who is a widower. It seems that a mutual attachment had been formed, although not a criminal one, and that he had intended to marry her, until some of the patrons of the school interfered, and rather than lose his place, he broke off the connexion. The poor

girl wrote to him several times, and obtained two or three interviews, hoping to change his resolution; and sho met him, it is Said for the last lime, on the afternoon of Saturday, when he told herpos-

ttively that all intercourse must cease from that day. She was greatly excited, and a lady who lived near was sent for to quiet her. Tho unhappy girl departed in despair, purchased oxalic acid, and having swallowed a large dose, scaled the wall, intending to cuter the house of her lover to die in his presence; but her strength failed her, she fell at his very door, and died upon the threshold. An inquest was held on Monday, when the jury found a verdict of "Temporary Insanity.1" English paper. A Female Stage Load. The mail stage which arrived here last Friday evening, was two hours behind its usual time, but there was a good cause

for it. Upon unloading at the stage house, it appeared' that there were five ladies who were passengers, three of whom had twins (nursing children) tho fourth, one child, and the fifth, though she had none, yet the prospect -was excellent. They were all from ono neighborhood; but it can hardly be supposed that an occurrence of the kind, so far as concerns the three first ladies being passengers in tho same stage, could be found once in a hundred years, taking the world together.

Costa, b crrer, Guzman, Portana, and Velasquez,

were discharged from custody, and ordered "to

J he Loston Cenlinel, after giving a detailed no

tice of the lastsccno of the trial, offers the follow

ing proper remarks : BickncWx Reporter . This whole transaction, from iis inception to the

final verdict of the Jury, has been one of the most extraordinary in the annals of crime. An American vessel is encountered by pirates, in the midst of tho ocean, hundreds of miles from land, and for

aught that the parties concerned knew to the con-

traiy, as far from any other vcsstW. The American

tionsof it from sources which may bo fully rtlicd on. It appears tint on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Gobman, one of the cotractors, w as assailed in his ow n shanty by eight or ten men, supposed to ho some of those at work on the road. Mr. John Watson, a Superintendant, was also in the shanty at that moment, on a casual visit. Both the gentlemen were forcibly dragged out, beaten fcverely, end left in a state of insensibility. They both, however, so fir recovered as to bo able to give an uccount of the affair; but Gorman still lies, we learn, in a very critical situation and great doubts arc entertained of his recovery. Mr. Wat&m, upon examination, appeared to have been less dangerously wounded, iSi on Tuesday night there was every prospect that he would survive the iniurics inflicted on him. Mis.

a -. Gorman, wc learn, was also assailed, and treated in tho most brutal manner. The outrage thus perpetrated by thcro cruel ruflhns were not sufficient, it seems, to satisfy their blood-thirsty cravings. About midnight on Wednesday, or between that hour and 7 oVlock on yestcrday morning, they surrounded the office where , .Mr. Watson was lying wounded, and after breakup

Even at that tremendous crisis these abused men wero afraid to show themselves cn deck, lest tho demoniac pirate should return and consummate the deed by murdering them all in cold blood I But their enemies, thinking the Mexican past redemption, had departed, probably in pursuit of another victim, then bychance in sight. They now attempt to repair their da mages. But what a spectacle! Everything in confusion their rigging devastated and destroyed, and they in the midst of the ocean, without compass'. Repairing their damages as well as they could, these worthy men abandoned their intended voyage, and with empty purses and heavy hearts, shaped their course toward Salem. But we have neither time nor room to do justice to this subject. The Mexican reaches home, and the pirates bear off their plunder, relying for impunity on the probable destruction of their victim and all on board. Providence ordered otherwise. The tidings of tho piracy was borne on the winds to the uttermost parts of the earth, and with a description of the piratical vessel.

The miscreants, after tho murders, proceeded to rob the premises, co we learn were defeated in their main purpose, by the proser.ee of mind of Mr. Smith, the clerk, who secured ?dl themoncy, except a small sum in specie, and effected his escape. Various causes have been assigned 'for this unparalleled outrage, but we forbear at present to mention them. A robbeiy wes committed a few days agfton Mr. Gorman, and tuspicion fell upon certain individuals, who very probably are connected with this bloody transaction. Mr. Watson, we know, sustained an excellent reputation, and had but recently undertaken a contract for the construction of a considcrablo lino ol tho road within the limits of of tho District. We trust we shall be able to announce to-morrow the arrest of the villains, or somo of them at least, as prompt measures wcra taken yesterday for that end.

Up to last night, when this paragraph was written, thcro were no accounts of the arrest ofuny of tho murderers concerned in tho horrid transaction on tho lino of tho Washington Rail Road, of which tho particulars wero given iu yesterday's American. In the account of this bloody transaction, wo stated yesterday that of tho three Superintendents whose lives had been wantonly sacrificed, Mr. Callon was one. This statement was undo on the testimony of a person who saw a dead body and thought he recognised it to be that of Mr. C. It appears, however, that he was mistaken in its identity.
