The tris! of the persons committed at Fred- ericton for the murder of the soldier Brennan has resulted in the acquittal of tue prisoners. The circumstances of the case are briefly these: in the nicht of the &th October, Brennan— vho was a quiet and peaceablo man—was walking along the streets of lredericton with a girl named Driscoll. They were passed twice by two parties, one of them supposed at the time to he the girl's brother, the other named Shanghnessey. Lhe girl seemed so have premonition of danger, for, as the parties reared each other the second time, she hur- ricdly called out, “run, or they will k¥l you.” She ran away herself, and, in the next minute, Brennan was knocked dewn by a blow, which fractured his skall, and from a state of uncon- sciousness he passed to his eternal rest. The ian had been struck by a heavy stake. A re vardiy act of murder was never per. petrated. 2 he girl weut straizht to a frieud 8 house, and to this friend, and te other partiea, and in her deposition hetore the magistrate, juivocally and undoubtedly made state- ments } isitively implicating her brother and Siauyhnessev—her father’s hived muan—in the she wt murder. Shaughnessey was arrested immediate- iv after the murder, her brother kept out of the wav fura shoit time. hut he, too, Was soon taken. The girl was the principal witness ot murder, and in the first moment of hee ayruish at the dreadful crime that had been committed, and, perhaps, in a feeling of re s ntuient at the death of her lover, she said than afterwards she was williug to stand Ly.

Ly hes wo:ds she had laid the commis- sion of a dreadful crime upon her brother,and the Mivie Cluck blu wu upouu her evidence his life depended. Whether her fries and her family have been able to influence her mind, it is, of course, impossible to tell. Dbut, when put upor the stand on Tuesday last, she materially deviated from her former depusitions and was unable to throw nuy light waatever upon the murder. Indeed, testimony from that before given, that the Government attor ney felt himself jastified in eommmitting her for trial for perjury. The lawyers for the defence undertook to prove an alibi for ‘he prisoners, oud, we suppose, they were successful, for a deapatch to a morning contemy rary an: ounces 8) materially diferent was he the acquittal of the prisoners. A eritical pablic, who know the circum. stances of the case, and who ponder upon the uly probable motives which \ed to the mnr- of ibrennan, will have no hesitation in taking up their minds upon this case. The deceased was not a person likely to be murder- ed for the sake of robbery, no one in the world was known to have the least il!-feeling against bem, except what mizht arise out of his re- n this girl, No suspicion of any hind points to any other than the parties tried.

The Putriot speaks of Patrick Hamilton as amanwel born. This wedo not dispute. He was the son of Sir Patrick ton and Haimi't Catherine Stewart, a danghter of the Duke of Aibany. The Flamilton fawily, of which Patrick was a member, were indeed so well born that they even aspired to the throne, if they only could md themselves of their lawful KKiayg, James V. Tytler telis ue that “it was observed that the Haimiltons, who, next to the } Dake of Albany, (now an elderly man without children), had the nearest claim to the throne, looked upon the courage and recklessness of the King’ (in his nocturnal freaks) with a satisfaction which was scarc ely concealed ; and | Buchanan has even stated that they had made attempts against his life.’?

APPLICATION FOR A TAVERN LicENCR. The Minutes of the last meeting having been read and approred— Mr. Councillor Kepoin, presented an applica- tion from Leary Green, for a Licence to cpen a i Tavern in hie premises, Prince Street. Before the decision, as below reported, touching this application had been arrived at, and betore the attention of the Board had been ealled to the subjoined remonstrance anent that application, on vir. Connector Kepoin’s producing the applicant's papers,and stating that he (the applicant) bad fulfilled all the requirements of the law, and | prayed that a Licence might be granted to him i accordingly; Mr. Councillor ALutn said he wou!d oppose the application; not unt of the applicant’s character, which —al- tt b he(ureen) had nu, O82 questivnable ls, two or tarec was not aware of any damaging facts; but solely on aceount of the proximity of the preut- ges, which he sought to have licensed, to two piaces of pablic worship. indeed concerning times ou Acc: tous t . ar 4 ee | groun vefore the Counei ibe Mr. Councillor McNeiu. thought that, were the applicant —who had bought #2 piece ot ground, and builia house thereon, for the purpose of therein carrying on a lawful business, aud who hal, besides, duly fuifilled ail the requirements lof the law, with the view of obtaining a Licence s0 to carry on that business—be denied a Lieeree—merely on account of the proximity ef | his premises to places of public worship, he would | have reason to think himse f rather bardly deait with. He (Mr. MeNeiil, was by no means de- 'eiroas to see taverns opened inthe immediate neighbourhood of places of public worship — very far from it indeed; but he eould not but think that it wasa great pity that, with reference to | the plot of ground or site in question, the nem- bers of one or the other, or of both the cebu ches in its immediate vicinity, hadnot had the wisdom to buy the ground at the time it was put up at public auction, especiaily as somo of them were present at the auction, aud knew for what purpose it was intended by Green, should it be obtained by him. It would have been well indeed, he thought, if, like the Lishop of Coaricttetown, | who had bought the sites of two or three taverns, | which, for the best of reasons, he desired to have closed; and, as also, for similar reasons, had, in | two or three cases, been done in Halifax; one or | other, or both of the reiigious bodies in question, had combined to purchase the parcel of ground }on which Green’s house now e«tands, and so have jhad it completely in their power to prevent its | being employed for any purpose of which they |econsciestiously disapproved. He thought the | parties more immediately interested in the pre- vention of the liquor trae in the neighbourhood | in question, should, by such timely and pradent laction as he had indicated, have prevented Green from sinking his littie capital tor a pur- pose, the accomplishment of which would be felt br them, as a very serious grievance. | The subjoined communication was then read by the Clerk, aud the whote Board acquiescing | propriety of the remonstrance, Mr. Couucillor Keddin, by permission, withdrew the application, pe To His Worship the Mayor and Councillors:” ‘*GENTLEMEN—We, the undersigned, residents of Ward No. 2, having been intormed that it is >to sor! our hands with any more of We hal!, however, reserve to oure whenever we in the | | hellish plot was more maturely deliberated | the intention of some person or persons to open “big house ' opposite me school-door is finished 7 Do you think they waue to throw me overboard in my ould days atter me loug sarvices ?

His frieuds may Inud him as much as they please, bat while people know that the Goverument, of which he is the Leader, is only doing that which the Cousorvative party never negiccted, they will not be much inclined to join in his praiso. We beard, about the time the Conservative party weut out of power, that a Company was formed, or being formed, which had for its object the purchase of all Tele- graphic property in this Island. It is only fair to assume that if the Conservatives had not bees: defeated at the last Genera! Election that # loeal company, or the Goverament, would have coutrol of the Telegraphic comimunica- tuons of the Colony. We have now ran rapidly over all that the Liberais promised to do when they came into power. We have shown by a series of ques, tions, which carry their own auswer along with them, that they have failed in nearly every in- stance to fulfil their promises. We have shown that their legislation is a dead letter, and that, during the time they have beea in power, they bave done nothing which men can point to as statesmaulike, or which will embaim their memories in the hearts of a grateful people. We are informed that it has been rumored about town that the writer of these articles is» disappoiuted politician—one of tiose persons whom the Government overlooked when they were distributiog the offices in their gift, and that, consequently, we are actaated by animosity towards them. ‘The country, it is said, ought not to listen to our nts.

By its disclosure we have been’ enabled to trace the secret history of these iniquitous times, and it may now be ronoUnced, | WITHOUT PEAR OF CONTRADICTIE ¥N, | that the assassination of Beaton was no sudden event, arising simply out of indignation for the j fate of Wishart; but an aet of lone projected jinurder, encourazed, if not originated by the English monarch, and so far as the principal! | conspirators were concerned, committed from | private and mercenary cousiderations.”’ Could any testimony be more to the point ? ; The forgery story is a mere groundless, suspicion, destitute of any real foundation Our author does not appear to give much cre- }aitto it, As to the alleged immorality of | Beaton, we would merely remark that it ds quite fashionable witha certain class ot writers, of the genus scavenger, to attribute immorality cularly if they have heen the victims of reyo- | lutionary subjects. This has been the lot of | Cardinal David Beaton, of Mary Queen of Seots, and in our own day, of Isabella of Spain.

Seven ploughs started in the men’s class, and four io the lads. The | Judges were the same persons who officiated ; Mr. John Ferguson, East River, | Mr. Alex. McBeath, and Mr. George Scott, 'Referve. They expressed their opinion, is that, asa whole, the work was superior to | that performed last year,”’ although that of the pl vughwan, who won the first prize, and who was also the winner of the first prize last year, was bardly so good on Tuesday as on the former occasion. | last year: | ‘The plough used by the winner ot the fires | prize was a Howard, of Bedford, Engkond. Chree other ploughs by that maker were jused, and though im the hands of unpractised men, there was that about their work which ; proved that for well cultivated, level land, they can hardly be surpassed. The Dyna- mometer shewed the drate of the winner's plough, turning a furrow 6 x 9, to be about 4 ewt. Several well-made Island [ron plough | were in the Geld. Mr. liorne, the winner 5 | of the second prize, used one made by Stowart, ,of Suuthport. Donald McKinnon, winner of | the third prize in the lads’ class, used a very | good iron plough, made by White, Malpeque Road, Donald MeMillan, used a * composite’ | plough, made by Robinson, Charlottetown. | The draft of these two iron ploughs did not /exceed lioward's, but they bardly ran the same depth’s and breadth in the trial | furrow. | George Essory again, won the first prise 'in the lads’ class, and made most excellens | work; indeed, the Judges spoke most ap- | provingly of all their peformances, particu- larly of the junicr of them all, Robt. Gibson, | Lot 34. We have some regrets for the past, and some hope for the future, to express with | reference to this important departwnent of agricultural industry. We regret to see that many promising young ploughmen con- ;tinue to use the old-fashioned wooden plough, an excellent useful implement in its way, but not just the thing for a ploughing match. We regret also to know that many really excellent workmen, abstain from trying their sk. tl at ploughing matches from want of confidence as to their snecess ! ‘This is nota usual traitot the energetic Anglo- Saxon race, representatives of which are )be found pushing their fortunes ander the suns of India, amidst the snows of the | Arctic circle, wherever indeed gold or glory is tobe won. On the whole, we consider the work of ploughing is very creditably performed in this Colony, and we hope it will receive » wholesome stimulus after the next triennial Exhibition, if not sooner, by inviting competition from the mainland, and we thiok provision might very judiciously be made for the ta of the expenses of representative ploughmen and their teams, from the adjoming Provinces of Nova Scotia land New Brunswick, who might feel disposed to try conclusions with the [xlanders at an | Intereolonial Poughing Match.
