From an lllimis Paper.

Mr. Editor: The following copies of

pecches are rcr&nf im, as delivered by a member of the bar, at a court house, not one thousand miles hence, at the last April term. That the science of law may be promulgated in just proportion to its great importance, I have to request of you the favor of inserting them in vour paper. Demosthenes and Cicero. weieVreat civilians in their day, but the

uresent ae exhibits a far greater depth of

eloquence and pathos than seems to nave been meted to those ancient orator. The several illustr atlons in these speeches are as happv, a? the display of oratory must have

been biilhant; and then too, the suoumuy which crowned the speakers imagination when dwelling on those trying times of "our posterity in future days fouling" for that sacred right of liberty which is so enthusiastically cherished within every patriot's heart. Grimsiiaw. speech on the slvnder cask. Gentlemen of the jury: If a man be not callous to all sin and iniquity, mj man got mad for what say capt. Price! Liberty arc a great thing, our posterity iti future days foul for it, therefore my man are likeOsar's wife not only polluted but unexpected. Which could you dm! her? Who steals my purse steals trash, but him who robs me of my good name takes thit which not enriches him, but makes me poor indeed all for to injure my client. Mr. Dodge are a man eo void of character, that when he tells the truth, he are griped. If a man hurt your body, it can be cured, but what garb of savrinify can heal my client's character, which is hair hung and

breeze shaken. If the defendant are a young

man, an excuse rolls through my mind, but he is old like a young w olf, and has a family and slanders my client's secret3 and lays the axe to his roM. It are a good principle to render under Cesar, the things that are Cesar's; and unto miss Cesar the thing w hat are hers; and unto my client the tiling what arc his. SPEECH ON Til II ASSAULT AN D BATTERY CASE. Gentlemen of the jury: This here man chunked and dubbed and dogged plaintiff's hogs, (here some of the counsel on the other siJebuisted out in peals of laughter, when our orator mildly exclaimed if he had a talur, he'd fling it down his throat.) He premeditated this malice, knowing the torture that he had indicted on these animals. So tender is the legislature of the feeling of a Uo-r ;s for to give him a remedy, and there

are now law for to revenge iumpin a fence on

a dumb brute. The appurtenances 'twixtthe

ycrtli and the worm fcnee ought'nt for to be hut six inches, and this ir, was arotton fence

that a hg could jist naterally walk through if

Hague, w here we are now represented by a charge d'AUairs. George Henry F reeling, Esq. assistant secretary of the London Post Office, has just arrived in Paris with full powers to make ar

It appears that disaffection generally per

vades the French army. We find by the pa

pers before us that on the d'Jth ult. and 1st instant, 23 sub officers of the 11th Regiment of the line were brought prisoners into Tou

louse, escorted oy gendarmerie. 1 hey were said to be implicated in the conspiracy lately discovered in that city. The Dili, 17th, and 37th Regiments of the line are said to be inected by Republicanism. The government was proceeding vigorousl', dismissing the Commandants of the National Guard, and persecuting the press. The editor of the Refarmateur was again convicted on Wednesday last of a libel, and sentenced to three months imprisonment and a fine of 6,000

trancs. The trial of Ficscha was postponed until next spring. It is reported that Louis Phillippc is inclin

ed to set at liberty Prince Polignac and his

fellow prisoners in Ham Castle. It was stated that M. Chantelause, one of these unfortunate individuals, had lost his reason.

At a Conservative dinner at Ipswich on

inday Colonel r airman, who was especially

invited, informed the company that he had commenced action against the Speaker of the

House of Commons and the Sergeant at arms, for the purpose of trying the legality of the

FATAL OCCURRENCE. On Thursday evening last, after the Regi

mental muster in this place, a difficulty arose

between Harr.uel and James Edv, and Joseph

Polly, which led to a tight between the two

parties. After having fought separately wun each of the Edys, Polly by some means obtained a pocket knife, with which he stabbed Samuel Edy in three several places; by one of

which stabs, the carotid artery on the left side

of the neck was completely divided, and he died within a few minutes afterwards.

As this case must undergo a judicial investigation, we forbear making any further remarks upon it, except to say, that the parties, as is usual in such transactions, were intoxicated by ardent spirits. Rloominglon Tost

through it.

Mr. John Coombs was engaged in repairing

the apex of the conical spire of the church in this village, under the pastoral careof the Rev. Mr. Carmichacl, which was injured by lightning during the storm that occurred in die

atter part of August la?t,Mr. Z. A. Slocumb,

having a curiosity to view the town from so elevated a position as this occasion presented, applied for and obtained permission from Mr. C. to ascend the steeple for that purpose;

and while heedlessly and carelessly gazmg a-

round upon the beautiful prospect before mm, the plank on which he stood tilted he lost his balance in the act of falling had the pres

ence of mind to draw from his side pocket a Spanish clasp knife, which when about one third of the way down, be struck into the steeple with such violence and skill, that he was enabled to hang dangling in the air for the space of twenty minutes, before any assistance could be rendered him. We are happy to add, that the only injury sustained by Air. S. was a small contusion in the leg, and a slight injury to the muscles of the arm. Probably not one in a thousand, under similar circumstances, would have had the presence of mind to resort to the expedient by which he was

enabled to escape from threatened annihilation, almost uninjured. This is not the lirst accident that has occurred in our village, occasioned by the inefficient or careless construction of stagings used in the erection and re

pair of buildings, and we trust it will be remedied in future. Cleveland Obscncr.

LYNCH LAW AT ELIZABETHTOWX. A most diabolical act wa perpetrated at Elizabethtown on the 37th alt., the particuulars of which arc copied from the Newark

Daily Advertiser. Octraui: at EM7.v rrraTowx. Yesterday morning about half past 10 o'clock, Mr. John W. Bray was suddenly assailed while crossing the main street in Elizibethtown, in the rear, and knocked down w ith a club by three brothers namad Taylor. The blow was several times repeated after he fell, and while kept down by the united force of the three, and the stunning effects of the beating, they cropped nearly" two thirds of his ear. In the scuffle, either by design or accidentally, Mr. B. was stai.bed repeatedly in the arm and the muscles uniting the lingers to the hand

were severely cut. A crowd was soon collected but the premeditated revenge of ruffians

appeals to have been accomplished before a-

ivy attempt was made to arrest mem. lacn bcin T armed with knivc? or pistols, thev suc

ceeded in resisting the efforts of an officer pre. fCV,tand escaped to a carriage previously hired of a a citizen of the place, for the purpose, standing ready by to carry them fpeedily out "-of the jurisdiction of the country. The parties arc kinsmen, and all belong to Clinton, in Hunterdon 'county, where Mr. Bray was formerly postmaster. Tne miserable pretext for the infamous outrage, wc understand to be, that Bray had by means of endorsr;i;e!itJ, involved the father of these lawJess youngster, who have thus sought revenge. Klr.

Oyster Line. Messrs. Hazen, Gates and Wright, have had in operation for several w eeks a line of light waggons, drawn by four horses, running between Baltimore and this place, for the? purpose of supplying the West

with rrfi (Jystrrs. I he waggons as yet arrive here once in two days. In a few days, it will become a daily line. The trip is performed in tico and a half days. Notwithstanding the weather has been unusually warm

for the season the oysters brought by this line are as fresh and of as line a flavor, as we ever ate on the Chesapeake. They are packed in ice. Those destined for the West, on

their arrival here are put on board of a steamboat, and arrive in the same good ordei in

Cincinnati, Louisville, and even at. Louis. In the winter, when the navigation shall be closed, it is the intention of this company to extend their line through Ohio, to furnish the citizens of numerous towns along the National road with this luxury more particularly, we suppose, the people's servants, the members of the legislature at Columbus. By this line our citizens will also be supplied with fresh fish already, even in this warm weather, it has brought us the delicious rock, sweet and fresh as when first from its native clement and then we are to have the terra

pin and the canvass back duck too. We will mention that this line connects with the rail road at Frederick, and that the horses arc changed every ten miles on the route. This line, for back loading, lakes articles for the Baltimore market, butter, eggs, venison, &c. The enterprise of these gentlemen cannot fail to be appreciated by the whole West. May ihey reap a rich reward. Wheeling Times
