equal measures, gain of 14 per cent.in the weight ing in the value of every quarter (500 Ibs.) of wheat.Many trials have been made in this country in cutting wheat at various stages and Experiments

the 10th inst., was the scene of oue of the most appalling tragedies that has ever been enacted within our limits An execution having taken place in the Public Plaza, known as Portsmouth Square, a body of citizens, acting as judges dnd executioners, and a multitude aiding and supporting them by countenancing the deed by their presence and non-interference.The circumstances connected with the affair are these: \u2014Owing to the vast amount of crime which has been perpetrated for a length of time, and the imposibility, by due process of law, of procuring the conviction of the guilty, of bestowing adequate punishment when convicted, or even of keeping them in safe custody, a number of our citizens resolved to take the law into their own hands.punish those whom they should find guilty of the commission of auy fel- onivus act.They accordingly pro- About nine o'clock on Tuesday night, a man carrying a bag, containing something apparently quite heavy, attracted the attention of the Whitehall boatmen at their station on Central wharf.He jumped into a boat with his bag, and pulled out towards the end of the wharf.A few moments had elapsed before Mr.Virgin, a gentleman who keeps a shipping-office on the wharf, came down to the boat-stand in pursuit of a person who had just robbed his office of a small iron safe, containing a considerable sum of money.The Itshould also be mentioned that the extension of the road to its present terminus is 20 2-3 miles instead of 20 miles as was contemplated.An additional outlay has likewise been made, beyond the estimiates, for a passcoger station at Wells River, new station grounds and buildings at McLeran's Falls, and for several tenements at St.Johmsbury for the accommodation of permanent em- ployecs.But for these items, it will be seen that the cost would have been within the estimates lt is obviousat the same tiine that these items are consequent upon and coincident with a corresponding extension of the business of the Road.The Road has been thoroughly built, and the embankments are be- licved to be well protected against the action of theriver freshets.But a further expenditure should be made of some $10,000 to $15,000 for cov- sic, rubbling around their abutments finishing the slopes and ditches in docpeuts, enlarging the Engine house &c.The above amount of #518,262 73 charged to construction accognt, includes some #16,000 originally estimated for Cars and Engines, which at the time was supposed to be a sufficient equipment, in addition to the number on hand.But in consequence of the opening of railway communication down Connecticut river, it became apparent, during the last winter, that a much larget in- erease of freight cars wonld be requi- ved to accommodate the umber and other Merchandise which must always find its best market in that direction.The Directors thercfore au- man with the bag was at once suspected, and a number of the boatmen started in pursuit.After a sharp pull they overhauled him, when he threw bis booty overboard.After a very severe struggle, one party of boatmen succeeded in capturing him, while another fished up the bag, which proved to contain the stolen safe.He was conveyed on shore, aud at once taken possession of by some of the Vigilant Committee, who conducted him promptly to their head-quarters, .where he was tried in presence of one hundred and eighty members of the conclave, sitting with closed doors, by them convieted, and sentenced to be hung in Portsmouth Square that very night.The precise mode of trial was of course a secret.During the time of its progress the citizens had accumulated in large numbers about the building, and in Portsmouth Square.\u2018The bell on tlie engine-honse at the latter locality having rung as a signal to apprise the citizens of the proceedings going on.The populace were very much excited, but more orderly than we ever recollect to have seen so numerons an assemblage on any similar occasion.Some disapprobation was manifested at the secresy of the comnit- tee and proccedings, but when the result was known, there was a very general approval manifested, although there were many who deemed the punishment of death too severe for the offence, aud others thought he should be executed in bread daylight.As soon as the sentence was passed, the bell on the California Engine- thorised

police force, one more first class Engine, a part of applied at the door of the committee- moom, and demanded.the prisoner, but was refused several times; and although others of the police force Were ori the ground, they sai it was of tio use to attempt a rescue.About one o'clock, Mr.Samuel Brenäti came out, and ascending the bank opposite, anriobnced the com- mittée\u2019s deliberation, stating that the prisoner had been fairly tried, con- Victed upon the strangest testimony, and had offered no defence except a denial of the robbery.He gave the name of Jno.Jenkins, and professed to be a native of Londan.Mr.B.stated that he had been al: lowed another hour to prepare himself for death, and that Rev.Mr.Mines had been sent for to visit him.The croivd present promptly approved of the action of the Committee.From that time the excitement began to increase, and the matter was freely discussed by knots of citizens at the street-corners, about the com- mitiee-room, and in the Square.A very large majority were in favor of 1be execution.The prisoner was perfecily calm during this time, and indulged in a cigar.The clergyman prompily responded to the request to pray with the prisoner, and remained with him for nearly an hour.If we are correctly informed, his presence had no particular eflect upon the condemned man, who, doubtless, anticipated a rescue by the police.About two o\u2019- clock, the doors of the committee- room were opened; and the condemns ed man was for the first time presented to the populace.He was a tall man, with great muscular developments, and with rather a forbidding countenance.\u2014 He was smoking, and appeared rather pale, butcomnposed ; hisarms were pinioned, and his hands tied behind him, while he was surrounded by a tvope thickly manned by armed men.j | Many others closing on them, determined to prevent his escape\u2014in this They accordingly organized them- manner, followed by a large crowd, selves into a protective and detective he was conducted to the Public force, with a fixed determination to Square.This arrival was announced with a shout, and cvery description of re- ciprocation\u2014the wildest scene o cured quarters in a building on the confusion and excitement prevailing corner of Sansom and Bush strects.' we have witnessed for a lon time.The moon, obscured by clouds, shed no light, and the picture presented was wild and awful in the extreme.Some person climbed the liberty pole to rig a block for the execution, but a loud shout of \u201cDon\u2019t hang him on the liberty pole,\u201d arose ; voices screamed out to the \u201cOld Adobe,\u201d and a rush was made for that edifice upon the corner of the Square, formerly occupied as a Custom-House.A rush was immediately made for the end of the building, a block rigged, and a long rope rn through it; in the meantime, a number of the police made several attempts to obtain possession of the prisoner; but they were roughly handled and prevented; had they persisted, they|® would have been riddled with balls.Several citizens denounced the execution, and sought to aid the police.The prisoner, by this time, tas nearly dead with fear and rough handling, when a rush was made towards him; a noose thrown.over his head, rope manned by twenty ready hands, and the heavy form of the convicted felon swept through the air, and dangled {rom the block.A few fearful struggles, a quiver of the hempen cord, a tew nervous twitch- cs, aud the crowd gized upon the lifeless corpse of him upon whom such speedy and terrible vengeance had been exeeuted by an eutraged people.Ashe swung to and fro, and turned round and round, a feeling of awe appearcd to spread through the crowd, whe eould not be otherwise than impressed with the terrible occurrence.Slowly they dispersed ; but when day broke, there were still many gazing upon the swollen purple features of the dead man.At six.o'clock the Marshall, Mr.Crogier, repaired to the spot, cut down the body, and consigned it to the dead-house.\u2014 Thus ended the first execution which ever took place in San Francisco, where more crime has been conunit- ted in the past year, thanin any other city of the same population in the Union, without one singic instance of adequate punishment.Of the guilt of Jeukius, there was no doubt.Ile had been known to the police for months as à desperate character from the

in the way of religious reforms and public education, and now they were to stifle the public opinion of Upper Canada, in regard to one of the most scandalous and dishonest transactions that could be found in colonial history.Mr.Hincks said it was due to the Attorney General Last to state most distinetiy that-he (Mr.LL.) cordially agreed with him on this question, and was quite willing to take the

pledge themselves to oppose the creation of Rectories in future, as well as the abolition of those already established.Mr.Hincks said there was not a word in that document which he was not prepared now to maintain, or which was inconsistent with his course on this occasion.He attached no importance to what people might say out of doors.He should abide by his own views, and cared notliing about public opinion in the matter, Mr.Lulontaine contended that courts of justice, and not Parliament, should be left to settle disputes of this nature.The question was one purely of equity.Mr.Notman asked why the peo- tiple of Canada should be taxed to protect persons who might be proved to have no legal right to the property they now held.He was satisfied that the whole system of the rectories was unjust in the extreme; and contended (in warm and encrgetic terms) that the time had come when the people of the province would in- elsist on all denommations being placed on an equality.He had given notice of à bill to test this question.He should put it to the House in its broadest aspect, in order that the country might learn who those were appears with new type and improved paper,| \u2018With

of the Speuk- er.Mr.Notman moved for leave to introduce a bill to abolish the rcetorics, which was negatived without debate, 43 to 8.The afternoon was vecupied witha discussion of Mr.Boulton\u2019s resolutions against the removal of the scat of government from Toronto until the expiration of four years.The resolutions were thrown out by a vote of 48 to 12.Mr.Robinson moved that the House resolve itæelf into committee to take into consideration the propriety of opening the navigation of the River St.Lawrence to vessels of all nations.Mr.Hincks cpposed the motion in view of the reciprocity negotiations at Washington, and succeeded in staving off a votcon the main question.On Thursday, 31st, a motion by Mr.Le- mieux for the recusation of Judges who are Seignors in cases where Seignorial

hold a weight.One hand was gone to near the wrist, and the fingers of the other to the first joint.We are not aware that the body displayed other marks of violence, Tt is supposed that the pantaloons were taken off for the purpose of being filled with stones for weight, and the shirt torn off to be used in tying them up.The verdict of the jury was in substance, that deccased was murdered by some person or persons unknown.Mr.Sprague, (whose first name, we understand, was Burdett,) was many vears since, {a resident of Stanstcad Plain, but more re- teently resided in the United States.Ie returned to Canada some time previous to his disappearance, and made his home alternately at Georgeville and Stanstead Plain, and had, we learn, no family.He was rather an cc- centric person, very taciturn, and but little was known of him, except that he was reputed to have considerable money.Near the time he disappeared, he came from Georgeville to Stanstead Plain, where he | transacted some business, and stayed some days.On Sunday morning the 11th of Nov.1849, he left with the avowed purpose of walking to Georgeville.It is supposed that he had from $1500 to $2000 about his person.He was seen at various places along the road to Georgeville, by difierent persons, and about noon was seen between the Narrows Bridge and Georgeville, but was not seen to enter that village.Not much remark was made of his disappearance for some days, from the fact that he was an eecentric person, and had been known to be absent for weeks without notify- {ing his friends of his whereabouts.But fi- inally some stir was made from an apprchen- sion that he had committed suicide, and search was made for him in the vicinity of George- ville, until the impression became general that he had either left the country or been foully dealt with.A trunk of his containing about $1000 was found at Bates\u2019 Hotel, and, we believe, given up to some of his near relatives.: The case is a singular one, which perhaps never will be clucidated.That a foul and deliberate murder has been perpetrated in our midst, few will doubt.\u2018That the body of the victim should be thus brought to light after nearly two years, in a state of preservation sufficient to identify it, seems a Providential interposition to aid in clearing up the mystery.We presume that every measure will be taken by the officers of the Peace to ferret out the guilty and bring them to justice, It would seem to be a case in which the Exceutive should be invoked to offer a reward for the apprehension of the murderer or murderers.The Cuba Revolution.Late advices from Havana bring intelligence of revolutionary movements in Cuba.Exaggerated reports have found their way into the newspapers.The N.Y.Commercial Advertiser sums up the news as follows : carefully examining and deliberately weigh- - the Isabel's later news.brings word that the government at Havana was prepared for any emergency ; that measures were taken to suppress the insurrcetion, and that not the slightest uneasiness or alarm was felt about the issue.We can well believe this to be the case.One fact mentioned in the Isabel's intelligence is alone sufficient to convince any reflecting person that the movement is not considered formidable, nor decmed to partake of the true character of vana remain unchanged.\u201d beating him, jumped upon him in the bed,

frightened a son of Mr.Sloane, the only oth- cr inmate of the house, who jumped out of a window and ran to a ncighbor\u2019s near by, but before any assistance could be obtained the party had fled.Medical assistance was procured as soon as possible, but we Jearn that Mr.S.was so shockingly mangled and beaten that little or no hopes arc entertained of his recovery.Mrs.Sloane, although seriously injured, is not considered dangerous.As Mr.8.isare- markably quiet and inoffensive old man, it is difficul to conceive what motive could have actuated the murderous ruffians.They were entirely unknown except that Mr.S.was confident from their voices, that they were old countrymen.This, we understand, is only one of a serics of outrages committed recently in that neighborhood, or in the vicinity of the rail road line below.Mr.M'Mannis, of Melbourne, we are told, had his house burnt by incendiaries last week.He had been threatened, and not deeming it safe to remain in it, had removed his family to a neighbor's, and the night following his house was set on fire and consumed.On Friday night of last week, as four Canadian carters were returning from Sherbrooke, having brought

in cutting off a few prisoners, among them a man by the name of Agnero, wliom they threatened to shoot.Learning this, the patriots in tLe mountain of Cubitas notified the Government officers that in case of the execution of their comrade, they would at once retaliate, by putting to death the 9 officers whom they had made prisoners at Neuvitas.\"There is not, at present, any sign of revolution, or much excitement at Trinidad or St.Jago de Cuba.\"I'he Government, whose chief aim is to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from any quarter to the patrl- ots, holds all its naval forces in

The Government officials called a mecting, through the Judge of the Superior Court, and proposed fo all the parents of the rebels a general amnesty, on condition that their sons would lay down their arms and return to their respective vocations.This proposition was communicated to the young mén who returned for answer that they were embarked in the cause of Cuban liberty, and that they were determined to conquer or die in the cause.In view of the facts now before the reader, and especially the absence of all concern or uneasiness among the commercial circles at Havana, we feel justified in asserting that this attempt to beguile the American people into excitement on this oft-recurring Cuba topic, is as unworthy as it will be futile.One would think that these repeated ex- poesures of manufacturing and magnifying \u201cCuban news\u201d would put an end to the business.No doubt it will ere long.The hoax may Le played once too often lo serve its purpose; and then it will be found

¢\u201cNarrows\u2019 in Stanstead, toward the latter part of August, 1850, and being requested by Wil- Jard Atkinson to state the facts as they oceur- red, do depose and say : That at the time a- hove mentioned, we went out fishing in a boat in company with snid Atkinson ; that after being put some two hours, we started to return, Atkinson vowing the boat, Pike steering and Young standing in the bow ; that when coming out of the Lake into the narrow place called \u201cthe Gut,\u201d same 15 or 20 rods from shore, Young saw a buneh of boughs or brush some two or three fect under water, and inquired what it was.Atkinson stopped row- ng for a moment, and replied \u201cthat it was probably some bushes which had been thrown out of a beat after having been used asa sail,\u201d or words to that effet.Pike expressed a sim- iar opinion.The bushes were cvergreens, newly cut, and there appeared to be stakes over them.No more was thought of the matter at the time, and we passed along.\"The statement which is currently reported abroad that said Atkinson refused to row the boat up to the place, or to stop, or showed any trepidation or guilty consciousness, is untrue and did not come from us.We were down at the same place four days afterwards, in company with others, and took occasion to look for s'd bushes, but did not find them.WARREN PIKE, .ALBERT YOUNG.Stanstead, August 4h, 1851.¢]
