The Schools.
DO" If TA* Express thinks that American riti
zens who were admitted by Naturalization have
not the same right to be heard in the manage.
mcBt of our Schools as other citizens, why then we
differ on that point, that.;s all. A citizen is a
citizen in our eyes, neither more nor less.
A* to the Express's'assertion or prcsumption,
or whatever it pleases to call it, lhat Universal.
ist3 or any other body of Christians, object to the
use of the whole Bible in Schools, but would ad?
mit it if certain passages were stricken out, that
is a very grave mistake or a very gross slander,
any how. That persons may have objected to
certain passages of Scripture, torn from their con
text, and entitled 'The Last Judgement/ &c.
<xc, while the)- conscientiously believed Ihosr
passages were misnamed and misapplied, or ob?
jected to such wholly uninspired and unauthorized
headings being placed oyer pages and chapters,
is net at all improbable?is il unreasonable ' But
this is a very different tiling from objecting to the
use of the Bible without note or comment, and
demanding that it l>e expunged and mutilated to
suit their personal wishes.
Wo regret, being constrained to believe thai
very many prefer to keep the .School Question
open as a source of heart-burning rather than en?
deavor to find some ground of conciliation on
which all mav unite and become reconciled. Il
can never be settled by the subjection of any,
but by the substantial satisfaction of all. We
cannot think lhc teach-nothing system, as to Re?
ligion, of the present law, will answer the pur?
pose. For our own part, wc would prefer that
the young be taught obedience to fiod according
to a Church from which we differ somewhat than
not at all. In our early childhood, in sturdy
New-Hampshire, the whole school used to be
drilled every Saturday afternoon in the (West?
minster) 1 Assembly's Shorter Catechism,' as it
was entitled, though you won't think it very short
if you are obliged to learn it. There are some
portions of lhat Catechism which we like better
than others, but what we learned of it never hurt
us an atom, and wc can confidently say the same
of many others. We do not think there is a
Church in our city whose teaching our youth thcir
relations to their Creator and their fellows would
not be decidedly better than none.
ET Wc have some hope of Ncw-Hampshirc.
The statement wc lately copied that the law for?
bidding the issue and circulation of small Bank
Notes had at last been suffered to go into opera?
tion, proves a mistake. The law was enacted in
the hey-day of Bentonism, but has been suspend,
ed frum year to year since, by acts of successive
Legislatures. When the Legislature lately rose,
without acting on the matter, it was supposed that
the Restriction would now go into effect, but it
was found on inquiry that the law had been siily
repealed at tin Extra Session last fall to revise the
laws generally. So the anti-small bill humbug
must be dead indeed, New-Hampshire having dis?
carded it.
D* Wchavo cheering advices from the Manu?
facturing villnges at the East. Business is gen?
erally active, and wages as high as they ever
were, considering what money will buy. New
buildings are going up rapid!)-?fifty in Dover, X.
H. alone?And, what is better even than this, !
Manufactures are extending themselves and new
branches of business being started, throughout all
parts of the Country.
The Chicago Democrat copies (without
credit) the stupidity or malice of a Milwaukie
paper, which accused us of opposing the settle?
ment of the West and libeling its People, because
wc would have that settlement made more com?
pactly and steadily than it has been done ! Wc
prefer that the surveyed lands be tirst bought and
settled, instead of being 4 claimed ' first, surveyed
afterward, and paid for last, if ever .' We do not
wonder that the Editor of the Democrat has hard
work to make his own party vote for him lor
Congress, it this is a fair specimen of his honesty.
Daguerreotype.?The following suggestions
have been made to the American Institute by
Henry Meigs, Esq., one of its members. If he is
correct this new discovery can never become
available in obtaining exact likenesses to the ex?
tent we had hoped. Mr. M. states that accord,
l?g to the law? of optics no exact likeness ran be
obtained cither larger or smaller than the original
subject. As the rays of light converge to produce
the miniature those points which are most promi?
nent will be unnaturally large, while tin ?sc points
in the rear will be equally too small. This will
be seen strikingly shown in all the foreshortcnings.
Ami in the nature of things this will remain an
incurable defect. Equally so with an enlarged
likeness, except that the divergence of the rays
will produce an efioct exactly opposite to that of
their convergence. Xo Daguerreotype likeness
can be made except of the precise dimensions of
zhe subject taken.
The pencil of the artist will therefore preserve
its superiority for drawing as well as color, in all
cases when the likeness shall be made larger or
smaller than the subject.
(O" Some rogues undertook to make a raise
in Buffalo lately, by advertisin g a peculiar trunk
as lost, containing, among other things, " 22 gold
bars," well described. They then went to a
foundry and had 22 brass bars cast, answering
to the description. They meant to lit up the
trunk,.find it, and persuade some green one to
pay them $1,000 and hold the trunk tifl the
owner should call! No go; the eastings ex?
cited suspicion, led to inquiry, and nil they took
by their motion was 30 days in the jug.
33" The important case of Arno*; Lawrence and
others vs. the Corporation of New-York (for goods
lost by the blowing up of buildings during the
great fire of 1S35J has been decided by the Su?
preme Court, during the late term at Utica, in fa?
vor of the City, confirming the decision of the Su?
perior Court. If the Court of Errors do not re?
verse it, our City will be saved $1,000,000.

The Apollo Association.?The engraving of
{ " Caius Marius, " published by this Associatibn
' exclusively for its Members, is one of the most
: finished line engravings ever executed in this
country. It was engraved from Durand's copy of
Vandcrlvn's Caius Marius on the Ruin? of Car

has been engaged upon it most of his time for the

1844 will be Mount's "Farmer's Xooning," a
vastly more appropriate subject than the one for
the present year.

H?rtA< ?: Greelf.V, Esq.
Sir:?An article appeared in yr<ur p:iper of Tuesday the
18th inst. entitled as above, which assailed iny reputation
for consistency and integrity, because 1 had sued several ex
measurers who insisted, and still insist, that they will vio
late the law with impunity, and which article intimai d,
broadly and clearly, that our juries should sustain these vio?
lations by their verdicts?though it might hot hate occurred
to the writer that tins would have been in violation of thrir
oaths. I replied to this article, in your paper, on Friday :
and on Saturday out comes your lo.igand labored rejoinder,
buffeting me without rhyme or reason. My office may be
worth to me, this year, something near a thousand dollars;
provided these ex-measurers (for whose lawless acts you
??eern to appear as the champion,) ?n not continue to inter
j fere widi it : and do you really think that this is auoin? s i
very " literal irr" ': There are twenty Measurers, also, in
j the Department) who, under the same proviso, may make
j some five or sit hundred dollars this year (for you mu?t tear j
j in mind that your fiiends, the ex's, have taken a considerable j
j portion of the business) : anil do yon really think that this
is a verv great " monopoly" ? or that it would afford a li\ in;;
fora greater number ' If you had borne in mind that yen
hid dragged me into this debate by your own (no doubt un?
intentional) misrepresentations ; do you think it would have
been candid to charge me, as you did, with " oppcarin* as
the champion of comyolsory measuring ' hy authority"'?
or would it hive been candid in you to say that the Utica
ca?c cited in my last was " not al all in point," if you had |
remtmbeied that it proved, beyond dispute, fust, that my |
opinions were the satna on the subject of inspection now, as
they were when in the Legislature ? And consequently that it '
disproved tour charge that I could not " withstand the se- \
duclions oj'place and pocket'''': Secondly, that it proved
the existence of most cross frauds in the aiticln of dour in
rh.it place, whteh, in the judgement of the Legislatme, de?
manded and obtamtd the intervention of a compulsory law ?
While on this point, friend Greeley, 1 will remark, that if
you will take the trouble to call in the office of Mr. Ever
j son. the Flour luspector, you may learn thai frauds equally ?
gross, are almost d.iily detected under hi-, supervision in thi^
city. You seem to have forgotten thai it was the Senate
Committee of 1 Hit-J, and not 1, that sri forth themalpractici -
that existed under the old Corporation Measurers, and it is
to be presumed that so able a Committee, with the parties
before them, examined the subject most thoroughly. Vour
paragraph on this point, therefore, should read thus :?" But, I
ly, this Senate. Committee, these free measurers may not
measure honestly : they may be in pay of one part\ ; they
may act as arbiters in disputes, and fa'voi the party which !
gives them most custom," ?c &e. Von appiove nf the pre?
sent system of measuring grain, but "demur only to com-I
pellino men to employ Mr. Grout and his subordinates."?
i*ou seem not to know thai the piesenl State act is not com
pulsory ; that no man is obliged to have a measurer unless
he wailts one ; that no man calls ouC, or suffers him to meas?
ure 0:1 board his boat or elsewhere unless he chooses. Vour
opinion, therefore, dial the Inst Legislature lias modified
Grain law in its repeal of compulsory inspections, i> a mere
delusion, since, so fir as train is concerned, there were no
compulsory provisions to repeal. There teas a section re?
port! d in the law (which is to take effect next December! I
authorizing ony and every person to measure, with whom
the parties interested might agree ; but this section was J
stricken out, leaving the two-third net of 1832; which had j
-wept awr,\ all the previous abuses, t>* leinaiu in its full in?
tegrity. Now, friend Greeley; don'i you think it would be
more to yonr credit, as a good citizen, to snpport this law,
(at least uule-s you cau show the ptnciice ol some abuses I
under itj than it is to be intimating to our Juries that " ii ?
must t?e a touch job for thein to give [me] a verdict under
it V especially if you knew I had tried every houorable
means to settle these disputes, until hmi forbearance hid
ceased to be a virtue, before I commenced any of these suits.
That there may be ?buic-s in measuring in some parts of the
city when- the State law (not being compulsory) i- inopera?
tive and ?o measurers are employed, is very probable. And
it mightuotbe amiss, perhaps for our grocers, feed-men and
caifinen. when they co to such places, to save the measuring
fees, instead of sittiii? down to lie their bags, to watch and
see that the face of the half-iiu.-.hel is not placed on an angle
of forty-five degrees (whe-rebv the grain loses even the ben?
efit of its own weight i.? settling,) die half-bushel filled very I
lightly (if filled full at all) and then struck -..> swiftly p.nil j
adroitly,to scoop considerably below the level of the lialf
hushel. It might nol be amiss, 1 say, for them to watch Mid
see that all this is .not done; because such a practice might
enable tlie dishonest speculator to undersell the fair dealer,
and still ni^ke money, just by the fraud he committed, even
though he should sell at the same price he bought: and of
course he would not have a State measurer unless the bu\er
demanded one. That such things may be done on a large
scale as well as a small one, is proven by lii? follow . .s ,
which occurred hol long since : A smal l cargo ? f grain w as
sold by (e:e of these g. .iilemeu who proposed and was permit
tod to measure and deliver it himself. It was sent 10 auother
port and delivered. a,:d of course remeasnred. When a re?
turn was made therefrom to the buyer in this ein, who is
one of the most respectable-merchants, he found that instead
of saving the price of measuring, he had lost the price of
two hundred bushels of grain in short measurement. He,
however, preferred to pocket the loss rather than have trouble I
or litigation, and take,are in future to have a regularmeas- I
urer.
You insist that ?? the Citv had a Municipal power to ap
point Measurera'??of Grain, I suppose vou mean. Tb*
tune IMS-, when the City and i-s dependencies comprised the 1
whole Stat". so far as the population were concerned. 7?Aen <
n w u proper that it should make these appointments. The
time is, when this population has crown till it fills an Em?
pire St^te, with its immense grain-growing ?nd other inter?
ests. Now is it not equally proper, if these immense inter- i
eats should have cause to distnur .uir Municipal supervision
that they should assume the supervision of their own proner
tv? The cause of distrust; anJ the assumption in regard to
Grain took place i:i l"v!tt, when the Legislature, byva two
tiiird vote. t,-->k away the power of appointing Measurers of
j Gmia fr.?m the City and nested it in the GoTeraor nnd s?n
j ate: since which time the dry has had no power to appoint
! them. But you " would like to luve it [this subject) dis- !
cus.ed by abler constitutional lawyers fvan Mr. Paul Grout '
i and his devoted friend." Very weil; you shall be gratified.
Here an- the opinions of Mr. Ex-Attorney General Beani.
ley. Mr. John W. Edmonds, and your particular friend; Mr.
Nadianiel P. Tallnndge, who ronstitnied the Judiciirv
Committee of the Senate, in l:S3-2, and to whom ?' w?s re?
ferred tlvf bill regulating the Measuring c.t (fiain in the City
.?; New-\ crk." for their opinion on the following points:
" W herber the power si\eu to the Corporation of the citv
of New York, by the charter of said citv, t.-? appoint a.-il
gulate the measurers of grain, is or is not an exclusive pow
. , and Mh-ther such charter is uot saved or confirmed bv the
Constitution of the State '
2d. U it competent for the Legislature to exercise a s-on
ennvnt power, or an exclusive power, so far as to prohibit
the Corporation from regulating the conduct and appoint
i m*ut of measurers of grain ?
3d. If the People of the Stire of New-York stand in th
same relation to the City of New-York as the King of Great
? Britain did prior to the Revolution, what is that legal inter
j pretatton of that clause ia the cliarter of s^.d city, which
I s-ivs that the corporation of New-York slall hold, exercise
; a ;<! e-ijoy all their power and privileges without any hiud
| rtnc* and molestation f
The Committee discuss this subject to The length of some
j nine or ten pages, in a m#st able manner, (<e* Senate Dec.
for 1832, No. 93,) and then proceed to sum as follows:
" With these general remarks, the Committee proceed to
'answer the interrogatories submitted to them by the resolu?
tions of the Senate. And first, they answer, that, in their j
opiaiou. the power given to the Corporation of the City of'
New-York, bv the charter, to appoint and reflate the mea?
surers of grain, is an exclusive power, nntil otherwise regu?
lated or directed by the Legislature. The charter is saved
and confirmed by the Constitution of the State, but the Le
Eulature may annul and modify it at [pleasure. Second, the
ecislaturt may exercise a concurrent or an exclusive power,
and may prohibit the Corporation from rejrulatinr: the con?
duct and appointment of measurers of r^raio. Third, the
I ?rntni::ee hare already expressed an opinion that the peo?
ple of the State of New-York stand in the same relation to
the Citv of New-York in regard to iu corporate ritrhts as
K\-.'z i R ;? i'. <} .v-rr.mer.: r-f Great Britain did prior
? . :'u- Revolntior ; and that, a.-, successors to the Royal Gov?
ernment, the Lerulature may exercise sovereign power in
amending the City Charter."
In acccrdir.ee with the views of the above report th* Leg?
islatur? of 1S32 emcted as follows: " No person except those
appointed in pursuance of this [State] act, shall measure anv
er?in within the City of N-w-York. for hire, pay or reward,
under the p-calty of'twenty-fire dollar*, to lie recovered by
anv rwrs who shall so* fT>r tie* same.** See Sectiou It.
Ar'ticle 2, Title 3, Chapt^i IT, Part I, of IL S.
Yon will of course tarn to and examine the argument in
the above report (Doc. 93) and, I presume, will not longer
question the State authority, or (as you are a supporter ot
the " constitution and laws'**) even pretend that the Corpor?
ation have any power to ^pp.-ur.t m*a?urers of crsin. Yott
repeat that I am "a "horoush Free Trader, and devout be
: li?ver in the axiom that ' the world is trov-nied too much.
Very true, friend G.-eel-y. And if ell men were honest, we
would not wed inspection laws : except, perhaps, lor toe
purpose of establishing a standard in the reliable quality of
onrproducts, tint should excel those of our sister Cities,
and this; hold out inducem-ats to the world to come a:;d
trad- with us; which ri the case to a trreater extent than
many are aware r>f at th<- present moment. But, independ?
ent of this consideration?just so long a= it is cheaper for the
j pe, pie to pay for a trirlir? impscrion than it is to suffer the
( frauds that would exist without such inspection, it is their
j interest to Innre inspection la ws.
This view would be ia accordance with th- prinripl- of
doing " the treated good to rhe rrre.Vest number." which of
1 course every consistent Free Trade man must acc-de to. In
i nelusion," 1 would refer yon to that part of my communi?
cation in your paper of Friday last which relates to Fr?
7Y/3ri?*>ii"d frauds in (Mtr, which von Inve omitt-d to no
:.. ?. and w hich shows that the small fraud of five pounds on
th? barrel on thp flour manufactured in this Sta>, if deduct?
ed and add -d up at the rate of f? the harr?1, would consider
bly more than pay for all the inspections on all kinds of Pro?
duce thron^hont "th* State. Very resp?ctfullv vours,
PAUL GROUT.
Remarks Inj the. Editor.
\Vc really hope and believe our old friend Paul
measures better than lie argues?if not. there
i will bo a famine one of these day?, owing to the
: inefficiency of our Grain-Measuring. His de?
fence, above given, is so long as to leave no room
for a reply ; but no matter, we will rest on what
: we have already oiTcred. If any body sees in the
lorewiino; anv good reason for compelling all who
wish Grain measured to employ Mr. Grout and
his deputies, paying them seventy-five cents lor
every hundred bushels, while some other meas?
urer, in whom both the buyer and seller of the
jjmin have full confidence, is willing to do the
work for half so much, and they anxious to em?
ploy him, why then such body will think the
argument is against us. liut, after deciding that
i so simple and easily understood a process as
Grain-measuring requires tobe performed by a
public officer, clothed with power to exclude
[ and punish all measurers who are not officers,
we would like to have that body tell us what
possihlc function connected with trade can safely
be performed without a public functionary. It
does seem to us that if Grain-measuring requires
this compulsory exaction (and .Air. ( 'rout informs
us that his business is not reached by the genera]
repeal of compulsory inspections last winter)
then wc have nr>t public officers enough in our
City by at least forty thousand. There is cer?
tainly more cheating in weighing pounds of tea,
butter, meat. &.c. than in measuring bushels of
Grain. Arc there .not five or six thousand pat?
riots who would ;,c willing to serve the public by
inspecting the weighing of retail groceries, at
?500 to ?1,000 each per annum ? The Inspec?
tor Generalship would be most arduous (looking
on to see the Inspectors look on :) yet we think
some self-denving, people-loving hero might be
induced to take it with $2,500 per annum.
?vlr. Grout or we are all abroad about State rs.
City measuring. We care nothing whether the
officials are appointed here or at Albany?one ap
pi ars 'o us just as good as the other. When wc
said that the argument from Flour-inspectin?; to
Grain-measuring was ' not in point.' we meant
that showing a necessity for Flour-inspecting did
not prove a necessity lor Grain-measuring by
public officers exclusively, and so we presume
we were generally understood. We are there still.
Mr. Grout strangely mistakes our Constitutional
difficulty. What we demur to is not the right of
the State to take away from the City the power
of appointing public measurers?to sustain which
he bus brought up so formidable a battery?we
doubt the right of either .Staff t>r Citi/ to com?
pel an Ohio miller to have his Flour inspected in
passing through this City, or an Ohio fanner who
lu re sells to a Yankee miller to pass his Grain
throitoh Mr. (Jrout's bushel at 7"> cents per 100
bushels, while he and the buyer choose to em?
ploy another measurer at halt' that price.? But
we have noi room to argue this point or pursue
the general question.
Further from Mexico.?We g ive in our last
a little news by the sehr. Zeriah, which arrived
yesterday from Laguna with dates to the 26th of
.lune. The following is a condensation of a let?
ter dated June 24th at Lacuna.
The town of Lacuna is thronged with Mexican
troops from Yucatan and the interior of Mexico.
Soldiers continue to arrive daily both by sea and
by land. There were on the above date over
12,000 soldiers in the town, many of whom are
suffering with sickness. The harbor is filled with
Mexican vessels of war, among which are the
Mexican steamers Gaudaloupe and Regenerador,
both of which came loaded with soldiers in a
sickly condition. Business is vcrv brisk in the
town : the soldiers had plenty of money and could
hardly have their wants supplied at anv price.
The troops wili no doubt remain at Laguna till
Novcmbt r. which will <iive a good chance to spe?
culators, if there arc not too many of them.
There have been no disturbances, and it is per?
fectly quiet all over litis part of the country. At
v era Cruz there had not been as many cases of
the Yellow Fever the past week as there were for
two weeks before. Every precaution is taken to
keep :t down, and it appears with considerable
success: for the first week in June it was doing
ft urful ravages, but now there is ever}- reason to
suppose that they will soon be entirely clear of it.

Distressing and Fatal Accident.?Yester?
day afternoon, about 2 o'clock, as three men,
laborers, named Patrick Kevins, Andrew Leary,
and Dennis Conroy, together with the mason,
whose name we did not learn, were on a scaffold?
ing three stories in height, erected for building a
house at the corner of 2d street and the 1st Ave?
nue, it gave way, and the three laborers were
? precipitated to the ground?the mason saving
j himself by jumping into aa open space, oo an inner scaffold
in;. ThemenI were immediately picked up. and found to
! be in a dvinz state, as was supposed. Dr. Biliintr" *uid Dr.
j Harlow were sent for, and the Coroner, (Dr. Archer,) who
: happened to be in the neighborhood, were quickly on the
I spot, and after examining the unfortunate men, ordered them
j at once to be conveyed to the City Hospital.
The unfortunate man, Conroy, who has a wife aud two
I small children, di-d before he arrired there, while passing
I the end of Grand-street.
Wt understand that this building is being erected for a
person named Morse, and that the contractor or builder is a
Mr. Longstreet. Three laborers were discharged on Tnes
! day because they would not venture on the f.-auil* scaffolding,
i One of the other two men that fell has both le<-s fractured,
and the other is dreadfully bruised; so much so that little
hones are er.t-rt*in-d that the life of either will be saved ]
Tha scaffolding we Iearu was of the most fragile aud slen?
der character, and that the Coroner this morni::g intends to
investiere the matter thoroughly, and afford a jury an op?
portunity of passing upon snch culpable and jro*s turpitude,
parsimony, or w hates er ?d.?e it ma\ he termed, by winch life
has beeu sacrificed.
Melaxcholt Devtii.?On Sunday night last,
Airs. Edmonds, wife of Mr. William Edmonds of
this City, was on a visit to her son living in Al
banv, and retired to rest in the evening appar?
ently in good health. The next morning, not
appearing at the breakfast-hour, she was sought
and found in her bed?dead ! She had not Strug
' gled nor disarranged the bed-clothes in the least:
but it seems had been attacked in the night with
a rush of blood to the head, .to which she was

yesterday afternoon in front of the U. S. Hotel
with Dr. Ransom's Hydraulic Engine, which

a reasonable doubt but it will supersede the use
of the common engine as saving much manual
labor.

Ths Hunting Expedition.?The St Louis

from Sir Wilh im Stewart's party.
Six more of the American Fur Company's boats
j arrived at our levee yestcrd ly afternoon, forty-five
? days from the Yellow Stone, loaded with buffalo
I robes, furs. &c. &c. Among the persons who
c mte down with these boats were several who left
j this city with Sir William Drummond Stewart.
They describe the fatigues attending the expedi
! tion. and the overbearing rudeness of Sir William,
as insupportable. Thirteen of the company hud
left him at the South Forks of the Platte; and
many others were preparing to leave. Some of
the company had threatened to shoot him it he
persisted in his tyrannical course. The Indians
were manifesting a disposition to steal the horses:
and as all but three or four of Sir William's men
j were srreen bands, some fears were entertained
j that their efforts might be successful. A war
j party of three hundred Ottoes. returning from an
i expedition against the Pawnees, who had refused
to fight them, were with Stewart when our in
forrnants left. All were in good health, though
I worn down with fatigue.
The L\st Lansingburgii Fire.?This fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. It was
set in several places. The buildings destroyed
were as follows:
E. Pannelee's law ornee: Xoble's hat store; a
large wood building occupied by a number of
families ; Lamot's hat store ; McDonald's tailor
shop; Xicholl's grocery store: Ransom's barber
shop. (Mr. R. was burnt out by the last fire.)?
Lake ?: Warren's rear building's, built of wood,
were entirely consumed, with a large quantity of
liquors. The front building, of brick, nearly des?
troyed. J. Cox, saddle and harness shop, and
buddings in rear. Total loss about .$10,000.
Another attempt was made to fire the village
of Lansingburgh this morning. A fellow, whose
name we could not get, has been arrested on sus?
picion and lodged in jail. [Alb. D. Adv. 25th.
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
VTr.infT.iVxr, July 26.
Tlic Alleged Murder in Scotland,
Christina Cochran* or Gilmour. the young
woman accused of the murder of her husband in
Scotland, was carried by the V. S. Marshall,
Silas M. Stilhvtll, Esq., yesterday before the Re?
corder, agTecably to the Writ of Habeas Corpus:
Mr. Greaslej presented a letter from Mr. Warner, dired at
Washington on Monday, in which he stated that he had not
bern enabled to see the President, and could not return in
season, and asking s Postponement. Mr- ??? also read an stf..
davit to the same effect, and asked that the case be adjourned
to Kridav.
Mr. Alev. Watson (on behalf of the prosecution) opposed
the motion.
The Marshals return was then read, specifying that the
p.isouer had been committed to his custody by S. Rapdje,
Esq., I*. 3. Commissioner, See.
The Recorder temaiked, in this case the application is
mao'e to adjourn tili Friday. Under ordinary circumstances
I nld feel no hesitation in grandng the request, and per?
haps in this case no inconvenience would Ulie place, but
there is a preliminary question besides the merits, and which,
I think, entirely divests me of jurisdiction. Thinking so. 1
can hardly see that any good will arise from delay. On the
contrary I think the treaty ought to be carried out cot only
effectually but readily. I do not mean that she should uot
have all the benefit of our law s, but that there should he as
speed v iction as possible, which every magistrate ow es to the
government under which he icts. Having examined the
laws connected with the proceedings I think i would not be
justified in postponing the case.
The Recorder said.?In addition I do uot think it is a case
j under which I should act, eveu if there was no treaty. This
w , reason why I do not think it necessary to adjourn. I
I do not think it necessary to speak of the constitutionality of
the case all. The Petition says that Christina Gilmour wa
I committed by Mr. Rapelje on the 24th June, 1843, on com
I plaint made to him that she had Committed one of the of
fences alluded to in the treaty?(hat she Iwd committed niur
| der. The petition proceeds to set f< rth that the commit
j ment was illegal, and in violation of law. I thought I was
I justified in issuing the habeas corpus. I here take occasion
to remark that where an affidavit of this kind is presented,
the Judge i< subjected to a penalty of $1000 if he refuses to
I issue the habeas corpus. I accoidingly issued it, and now
j it is shown that she is committed by Mr. Rapelje as I'. S.
Commissioner. The statute of this State says that a habeas
corpus shall not be issued w hen U. S. Judges have exclusive
jurisdiction under the laws of the I*. S.
The question is, then, had or had not the United States
Ci urts exclusive jurisdiction of the eise. The offene? being
committed without the territories of the United States no
other Court can have exclusive jurisdiction, such, for in?
st tnce as a murder committed at sea. This is the law of the
land. It appears that the offence, if committed at all, was
without the United States and without the jurisdiction of
any State Othcer.
By the 10th article of ti?- Treaty it is -greed that the
United States shall, upon legal requisition being made, de?
liver lip the persons charged provided sufficient evidence is
shown of the criminality of the parties. The examining
I power is not limited to the Judges of the L'. S- Couits, but
' t. other magistrates of the United States. The question
I then under this treaty, assuming it to be good, is as to juris?
diction. My judgement is that Mr. Rapelje had full power
under the act of IS42, to pass upon the case. A magistrate
is one exercising magisterial power. It is not necessary to
call him a mayor, a recorder or a judge. It i? one author*
ire,] to make commitments. The treaty says judges or ma
j gistrates. It is idle to say that an officer of t State govern?
ment should be a United States officer under such treaty- I
do not think myself as having such jurisdiction, but that
Mr. Rapelje, being an officer of the general government his
such, and I do not consider that I have power to revise the
aet'.n of Mr. Rapelje. What the Preddent may please to
do is not for me to review. My duty is to remand her at
once to await the order of the Executive, and I therefore
make the order to that effect.
The prisoner was then remanded. She seemed perfectly
indifferent as to the result.
Mari.nk Court.?-Before Judge Randall.?
John Regnu vs. ChasUs Crawford and John Rollins.?
The defendants were master and second mate of the ship For?
mosa. The plaintiff was a seaman on board. The action
i is to recover damages for cruel and unusual treatment. It
appeared in evidence that the Captain found fault with the
plaintiff while at the wheel, and kicked and beat him, and
that the first mate and second mate associated. At another
time the first mate knocked him down and set a large dog
upon him belonging to the first mate, which severely bit him,
ind the second mate beat plaintiff over the head with a be?
laying pin. by which he was much injured.
The first mate has not been arrested.
Verdict foi plaintiff, $000 damages and six cents costs.
Before Judge Sherman.?-Samuel Ovgo.;./ and E. J Bur
ling vs. Elisha Rickman.?The plaintiffs borrowed 55,000
for defendant, to be loaned on bond and mortgage, and
charged <v>0 commission. He refused snbsqeuently to take
t.ike the money (the old mortgage having reduced his r.-.te of
interest,) and also to pay the brokerage. Action is brought
ou lattei. Verdict for plaintiffs, $50.

I.ist night a young man named George Holpik of No. 157

Capt. S. J. Clarke, just arrived from St. Croix,
was committed to jail last night on a charge of

A Noble Whig.? Isaac Oti*. F.sq., late Marshal fo.-ti*.

mination not to be a candidate for the office of Citv Tret,
surer, to which his numerous friends had nominated biro
believing there are others more entitled to the claims of tha
Whi^' party, and against whom he could new array himself.
Mr. Otis boldly Proclaims his preference for Hessin Clav'
and pledges himself the stein opponent of Jobn Tyler and
Itis principles. It will be remembered that Mr. 0". a ft?r

than that of being "*good Ctat ?"*"?*'! No complsiat
against the manner in which the duties of the office were
discharged was ever dreamed of?that Mr. Otis was hon?t,

of the matter consisted iu his being a little too honest au4
independent for John Tyler.
