THE GULP NAVAL BATTLE !
FURTHER PARTICULARS
Account ef the Engagement—A Beat from
the Nam toga Fired At-The Broadside—
< aptare of the Frisoners—The fslege of
Vera < m/, he.
The U. S. Bloop.of-war Preble irrived at
New Orleans. Saturday, with the remainder
of the prisoners taken on the prize steamers
at Vera Cruz. The New Orleans papers of
Tuesday last bring further accounts of the re
cent naval engagement iv the Gulf. The Pica
yune furnishes the following:
The two steamers captured by the United
States sloop-of-war Saratoga, on the Mexican
coast, and brought hither as prizes, sailed from
Ivana on thrf tJTth ult. The Mnrques de la
nana is reported, by the Diario de la Marl
.to have cleared as a Spanish vessel ; the
n. Mnamoii as a Mexican. They both
ared as merchantmen, nor does it appear
it at the time of the clearance they bad ma
lais of war on board. And thi* is stated to
on good authority, from Havana, to have
n tne fact. The guns, ammunition, stores,
~ were taken on board afterwards. Of the
■ncr, each steamer had six, twelve and
enty-fonr pounders, or twelve iv all, stored
ow. As to the amount of stores and am
nition we have only general statement that
li vessels were deeply laden.
loth the Marque.-de ia Habanaand General
rainon were old Spanish mail steamers,
ing on the Cuban coast. The latter was
merly known as Corrco No. 2. They were
h built, we believe,somewhere at the)north,
1 one of them is said to have plied on the
md before her purchase by the Spanish
vernment, but under what name is not
if the actual nationality of the itearaerswo
edivers reports. That most genei.ttly re
ved is that, before fitting out for this last
ledition, they had been transferred to some
nt of the Miramou Government. The pur
se money is said even to have been
nsmiited through the French Consulate at
raCruz. It is somewhat singular, how
r, if the transfer was actually made, as re
ted, that one of them at least should be re
ted cleared as a Spaniard. The Havana
u.tn-hoase reports are very lormttl and
rerbially accurate. I' is also somewhat
iCul.tr, it true, as reported, that both vessels
ned the Spanish Hag as they sailed from
port of Havana,
iter they had gotton ont to sea, all ac-
Bta agree that tbe Mexican flag was hoisted
I the guns mounted. This is reported by
steamship Mexico, which lett them at Si
nn Ihe an. Com. Thomas Marin was then
command ol the expedition, boarded the
iico iv that capacity, and spnt back dis-
L-hes to Havana by her. Both Tftssnls were
11 armed as war steamers.
( AVTtrKK OK TUB STBUUBUBS— r AHTK'CLAB9 OF
THE ENOAOE.MEKT.
In the meantiiriP, the Ooustitutlonal Gov
ernment at Vera Cruz had issued a proclama
tion, declaring Marin a pirate, and author
izing whoever should encounter him or his
vessels, in the waters of Mexico, to capture
them, as sailing piratically, iv v iolation of the
law of nations. The steamers made their any.
pettrance off Vera Cruz about noon of the Oth.
They were immediately signaled, from the
castle, as suspicious vessels,and ihe news cir
culated rapidly through the town, where it
produced preat excitement. In the meantime
the steamers continued under lull steam, rap
idly to advance. They passed behind the castles
of S:tn Juan de Ulna, in the direction ol Sa r
criiKios, aud finally ran into Anton I.izardo,
where a flag, previously raised by Miramou,
indicated the place of rendezvous' Miramou
was at this yme before Vera Cruz.
The steamers knee no ffnga whatever wnen
they passed the castle, nor did they hoist them
either then or at S.-.criflcios. thouch they
were ordered so to do, first by a shot from the
fortress, and afterwards by the United States
sloop Savannah. On the contrary, they steam
ed boldly forward. The French, Spanish and
English vessels at Sacriflcios did not notice
the suspicious steamers, or tit least did notor
der thorn to show their colors. Capt. Jarvis,
of the sloop-of-war Savannah, is the senior
United States olliceratVeraCruz. He saw with
his own eyes this contemptuous violation ot
the law of nations—two vessels of war armed
to the teeth, passing eoajgtp by without giving
a sigual or hoisting hay colo-jr; when ordered
so to do—and took his course decidedly, lie
intUM. diately ordered the sloop-01-war Sara
toga, Capt. Turner, to go in pursuit of the
steamers. The Saratoga, only carrying sail,
was towed down by the steamers liuiianola,
of this port, and the Wave, plying on the Mex
ican coast.
The Marin steamers had just cast anchor at
Antun I.izardo, when Saratoga came up
with them. Tfiey still hau steam up, howev
er, and seemed to have taken a position as if
to put at once to sea in case of Ireiug over
hauled. The Saratoga, however, seems to have
taken them unawares, though the moon was
shining brightly, and at once took a position
to cut off all retreat. Marin then prepared as
if to give fight. In the meantime, Capt. Tur
ner dispatched a small boat to the steamers,
with a Hag, to demand their nationality. Ma
rio tired upon it. The boat, however, contin
ued its course: Marin lired upon it the second
time. Tbe Saratoga then launched a broad
side upon the steamer, commanded in person
by Marin. This was the Gen. Mi rumour, and
seemed best armed. She was piloted by a man
named Flores, well known at Vera Cruz. The
other steamer was commanded by one Capt.
Sanchez, formerly ef the Mexican war steam
er llemotrata, which he betrayed.
It was two or three o'clock in the morning
before Marin surrendered. He was taken on
board the Saratoga. Nearly all theoflicers and
crews of both steamers were also captured,
eititer by the Indiauola or Wave, and taken
up to Vera Cruz, where they were distributed
between the Savannah, Saratoga and Preble.
Tbe number of the wounded on board the
two steamers was about thirty. They were
taken on board the Saratoga, and their wounds
promptly dressed. Amoug the wounded was
Capt. Flores, who has since bad his arm am
putated at Vera Cruz. Tho number ot Amer
icans wounded was three—one mortally. We
have not h ameil his name, lie belonged to
Ihe Preble.
A few of Marin's men made good their es
cape to the shore, but a number of Minunon's
men, wlui had already gone on hoard the
steamers, were captured. Amon£ these last
captures wot. Miramon's principal agent, who
is said to have hid himself in an obscure cor
ner when thellrmg begun, but had the mis
fortune after all to tie badly wounded.
The Gen. Miramou was very badly injured
by the Saratogas broadside, and was only
gotten afloat wi.h difficulty. The liuiianola
also received several shots, but they did her no
serious injury. So soon as the action com
menced, tiie two steamers hoisted tbe Spanish
flag. Alter their arrival in Vera Cruz, sev
eral of the prisoners made a public statement,
iv which they detailed tbe history of the
whole expedition. It does not differ from ihe
above. They all testify that tbe Mexican flag
was not raised until after both steamers leli
the port of Havana.
THE ATTACK OS VERA CRUZ.
While the firing was going ou at Anton I.i
zardo, the enemy encamped before Vera Cruz
seemed t<> have caught tbespiritand sallied out
lv several small parties in the direction of tbe
town. They had, during tbe whole day aud
evening, been riding about on tbe sand bills,
tooly surveying the city.
About midnigh', they made a descent upon
tbe first aud second lines, between the rail
road and iluaca, where they were received
with a good cannonading, aad after about
twenty minutes, retired.
They seem fo have had only a few small
pieces with them, nor was the number of men
great. It appears to have been only a union
of several small scouting parties, who caught
the spirit of the cannonad.ug in the]distance,
nnd thought they would ace what tbey could
do before tbe town.
ACTUAL RTATKOF THIHOS AT VKBA t'RIZ.
At last accounts Miramou was still encamp.
Ed before tbe city, and bad served upon the
foreign representatives the usual notices of
bis intention to bombard it. Whether, how
ever, he has now the means, since the capture
of his steamers, seems a matter of doubt. All
agree, however, that up to the latest advices
he still threatened the city. No one, however,
seems to believe be will take it. Miramou has
witb bim a large number of very fine caval
ry, which Is constantly parading on the sand
hills.

THE SAVOY gVHSTION.
The projected annexation of Savoy and Nice
to I-ranee continued to attract much atten
tion
The London Times, while editorially con
demning the project, and applauding the firm
protest or the government against it, repudi
ates the idea of England demanding any ex
planations which any day might lead tv war.
. ! »***•»« an editorial, complain
ing ol the hostility of England to annexation,
says it would be unreasonable to suppose that
tneEmna jr would renounce that which re
gards the security of one of tbe most impor
tant frontiers of France.
It is stated that since Count Cavour's last
despatch,relative to I'alv, orders have been
sent to the French army of Italy to hold iteelf
ready to march at the first notice, and that the
reply to officers demanding a short furlough
was that the whole army would immediately
evacuate Lombardy, and return to France.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says it was thought likely that as soon
as universal suffrage in Tuscanv declares for
annexation to Piedmont, the Savoyards will
have a French army on the spot.
The Paris Patrie believes itself in a position
to state that in the question of Savoy. Sardi
nia shows such conciliatory Intentions as
might be expected from a country which owe*
its aggrandizement to Fiance.

ITALY.
A long and forcible dispatch by Count Ca
vonr has been published, replying to the It-U
--lan programme, and pledges Sardinia to abide
by tiie result of an appeal to universal suf
frage.
The Opinioni of Turin affirms that In a note
of ihe-Jdof March, relative to Savoy, Uavour
expressed the attachment of the government
of the King of Sardinia to his province, but
:tt the same time to th<* principle which he
supports in Ceutral Italy. He declares his
intention to interrogate the population in a
manner to be established by Parliament, re
serving besides, the question of frontiers, and
the guarantees to be given to Savoy.
Another authority says that Cavonr, in the
same note, denies that the inhabitants of Sa
voy and Nice have any desire to be annexed to
Fiance; but he suggests that the question be
tested by a vote ot the people, as well .ts ia
Tuscany and the Romagna.
Reports had been current of an insurrection
in Naples, but were not confirmed.
Tt kin, March 8, 1860 —The Opinione pub
lishes Count Cavour's dispatch of the su re
lative to Savoy and Nice. He declares that
the aggrandizement of Sardinia can never
prove dangerous to France: but considering
i tie obligations that Sardinia is under to
France, serious attention must be given to the
Emperors demands. At the moment when
Sardinia demands for the inhabitants of Cen
tial Italy the right to dispose of their destiny
she exposes herself to the charge of inconsis
tency if she denies the fight of freely express
ing their wishes to hersubiecu dwelling on
the other side of the Alps. However great the I
regret would be at the cradle of the Pied
montese raonarchs demanding a separation,
Sardinia would not refuse to recognize the
weight of a manifestation, however slight, if
made in conformity with the prescriptions of
Parliament. In regard lo tbe opposition of
the great Powers, Cavonr thinks that the de
sire lor proper iron tiers of France aud Sar
dinia will ensure just and equitable negotia

Thk Loss of a PottTiaL-KUB War Vksmri..
The Portuguese brig-of-war Mondiego was lost
on the v-jd of January iv lat. 23 deg. 3!) mm.
South, long. tiH deg. t> mm. East, The princi
pal part of those on board were saved by the
American ship Uriel, Capt, Walker, bound
from Calcutta to Boston. The Boston Travel
ler furnishes tbe following account of the
wreck from the Captain of the American ves
sel:
"While scudding before a strong breeze, ob
served a vessel asteru showing signals of dis
tress, and shortened sail to allow her to come
up. it was the Portuguese brig-of-war Mon
deigo. The sea was very rough, so much so
that the brig dared not round to when she
came up with the ship, but ran two miles to
leeward. She then signalled 'Save my crew,'
aud fired a gun, aud tbe ship hove to; the brig
hoisted out her boats, which reached the ship
in safety. The boats passed between the ves
sels uutil they were stove, nnd then tbe ship
hoisted out her boats, one of which was badly
damaged, and three of her crew were drowned:
another boat was also stove; still Captain
Walker urged his men to persevere in saving
life. Tbe last boat, containing the officers aud
eight men, reached the ship, bat she was also
stove alongside.
■-From tue account furnished by Captain
Walker, it appears that there were still some
people on board the biig when the officers let l
and that he bailed them to make a rait and
save themselves, as all the boats were stove.
She was seen about six o'clock in the morning,
nnd tbe ship hept by her until six in iheeven
lag, when the brig, which had been running to
leeward, waa brought t*> the wind. A era
atruck her, she heeled to port, aad immediate,
ly went down with all on board. The ship
was worked up to the place, hove to, and,as it
was tbeu dark, showed lights, but only saw
pieces of the wrecked boats. Nina officers and
ftiiy-nveof the crew, Including two women,
were saved, but the number lost is notglven.
She was tbe Portuguese brig-ot- war Mondelgo,
bound for China, via Singapore, for Lisbon.
The Uriel carried those the saved to Fort
Louis. Isle ot France, aha Landed them there.
Captain Walker is entitled to high praise tor
his gallant and perseveringconduct In saving
so many lives. He says: »We hate lost one
boat, and had another stove, had the mlsen
mast sprung, lost ail the studding sail, gear
BHdliAMmoTs, and had the foresail aad fore
topasest spilt.''' ''V. -'*"-•''

Tbe New York correspondent of 1 he Chicago
Press and New York Tribune thus dagnerreo
typea the "outside room" of the Brokers-
Board:
"The New York Stock Exchange is famoos
enough; but very little baa been aaid of thr
most curious aspect there presented, vis : thai
of the -outer room'—so called because it is tbe
lobby of tbe Board-room proper. To reach tbe
hall of Brokers, one goes down a passage lead
*J rom 'William street,'aw feet, ton court
?'ard in the rear. Here turn an abrupt corner,
nto a dark and narrow passage, above whose
v w V BnonU ot inscribed tbe famous line,
which Dante placed above the arch of the en
trance of the world of woe:
'All hope abandon, ye who enter here '.'
"Pass along for a tortuous score of yards, and
you will come to two doors; the one on the
right leads t.. tbe Board-room, wher- the !5n
broken, from Mai a. ra., till noon, and from
till 3 p. m., tmesne' tbe bnsinei* reported in tbe
daily papers. The scene within the Board
room has been often described. Bot, instead
of turning to your right, enter the door in front,
and you are in ths lobby-room. A cheap,
small, dirty den it is; iv uucarpeted floor
deep with nut-shells and foul with tohacco
luice, and its atmosphere dense with smoke.
Here, in a space scarcely large enough for a
back wood's school-room, arocrowded over flf.
ty men of all ages and nations. These com
pose the'street operators' or 'curb-stone bro
kers.* Some of them have offices, more have
none. They are made up of several classes.
Ist. The broken brokers who suave leet tt.eir
seals-hat sallure on contract*; and here linger
in limbo, striving to make enough to pay their
debts and get back to their former paradise j 2d.
Operators, men ofmeaus, who sit silently lis
tening to the reports, which are shouted
through a speaking-tube communicating witb
'he inu er room, and every now and then send
ing in written orders to their brokers. 3d.
Operators, men of straw, who ileal almost ex
clusively in that great staple, 'New York Cen
tral,' among each other or with whatever bro
ker or wealthier operator who is willing to
take their contracts. In this room the busi
ness done is sheer gr>mbliug. What tremen
dous excitement! What eager listening to
every quotation clammered through the pipe
by btulf Geo. H—. and shouted to the outsid
ers by rubicund Richard D—, familiarly known
as' Dick Swtveiler 10 every man 111 the street!
What jostling and crowding to the windows
overlooking the passage to the Board-room,
whose telegraphic dispatches' are every in
stant comiug from Philadelphia, Boston, Cm- I
ciuiiati—aye, and uot a lew from your own
speculative townsmen! What jokes and I
laughter, rowdyism and buffoonery, smashing I
of hats, jostling strangers, throwing snow I
balls, offers to sell and buy, angry worde,
crowding around a stray member from inside, I
eating peanuts, sun kmg, swearing, shouting, I
singing—such a scene can be witnessed no- I
where else in theUni ed States! It is Bedlam I
in not—ii isn Bacchanal without wine.
" Between ihe sessions of the Board, the r eg- 1
alar br.ikers in ingle with these men on the j
sidewalk, and heavier ope-ations are ofierier I
transacted at this time than at the Board it- I
self. One would think, on first entering the I
outer room, and hearing all abo*'t him such I
crie* as—'l'll give 71, buyer Id, for a hundred
Central: - -'Sold"—- 111 sell live hundred at I
JBjK, seller 3!'—l'll sell fifty regular way !'—l
'Who wants ItMl Galena ."—hearing ail this]
noise of business, one would suppose himself j
surrounded with millionaires, by each of J
whom a thousand shares of Panama would I
be easily carried. But wlieti the scales drop!
from bis eyes, lie learns that half of these men
haven't a hundred dollars in the world; that
their credit depends, like that of a gambler, on
tbe last lucky -hit' they may have made; that
a •difference' of $lihi sometimes breaks them;
that they are merely engaged in buying one
moment and selling the next, or vice *r.vo,- for
the 'turn of the market,- and think them
selves lucky if they make s, per ce-it. on a
hundred shares (»12..*>0;) that they get along I
very well in stagnant times, but in the great j
Springand Fall movement* when stocks vary I
several percent, per diem, they are scattered j
aud overthrown like chutt belore the whirl- J
wind.
'•Yet these are the habitues of the street; I
while others come, iu>ke .and lose, leaving I
room for the next wave of adventurers, these I
keep their places, greet each other daily, los- I
ing few of their number, except by death;
gaining few, except those who go through
with a kind of moral and pecuniary death, I
that renders them unlit for anyyither pur-uit
th 111 the sad, boisterous, feverish life ot 'the
street.'
"These men have a kind'y 'fellow feeling' I
for each other—some such emotion as may ex- I
Ist between prisoners ia one cell, starvelings
iv tiie same famine, slaves in the same galley.
It one of their number is entirely 'cleaned 1
out," though he may have'failed 011' their.. se- I
I verally.they arequick to help him toafewdol- j
lars, and to take bis contracts for a fresh start. I
As their dealings are bused on honor, a certain I
chivalrous regard for one's word is to be found I
anionic them. Lastly, 1 observe that the row
dyi m continually going on 111 their room is
rather of a mirthful than an ugly nature, a ml
seems to act as a hind of safety-valve for the
tremendous excitement and suspense under
which the market is at all times laboring."
I New York Items.—A letter from New
1 York, Saturday, has the following items:
The famous liartlet-Oviedo (diamond) wed-
I ding is causing fresh trouble in tome of the
newspaper offices. The father of Mrs. Oviedo
(Lieut. Hart lei t) taking offence at a, recent ar
ticle in the "Home Journal," went to the of
fice of that puper this morning, and demanded
a personal apology of the editor, which tbe
editor refused to give. Thereupon the Lieu
tenant left the sanctum iv high dudgeon, de
claring that he -would have immediate satis
faction. The latest rumor from the seat of
war is, thata hostile measure has been sent to
the offending Knight of the quill.
In the U. *-». Circuit Court, this afternoon,
James S. Williams, convicted 01 stealing a
letter from the post-office, containing a draft
f-r $3,uou, was sentenced to hard labor in 'he
State prison, at Sing Sing, for a term of eight
years. The prisoner was much affected ou
hearing his doom.
The -political machine" is rapidly getting I
up steam on Piesidentitl account here. Last
night a "Seward Club" was formed up town ;
also, a Central (Republican) Campaign Club;
also, a French Republican Club, for the pur
pose of "spreading among citizens of French
origin the doctrines and principles of human
freedom." The Democrats are eqnp.lly indus
trious, having club meetings in the various
wards almost every night.

Thk Marrying Season in Ireland —From J
New Year's day to the commencement of Leut I
is the grea marrying season in many parts of
Ireland. A late Irish Journal says:
Tli- "Irish marrvAing season " has beeu, this
year, more than usually successiui, much to j
tbe advantage of the clergy, the benefit of |
grocers, butchers, bakers, Ac , and the delec- I
tation of wedding-goer". The middle classes
particularly made a first-rate turn out of it, I
and seldom within the same space of time have I
so mauy of their number fallen willing vie- I
tiius to the artful wiles of Cupid as dnriug
the last month. Tbe Lutharios, too, have been
most liberal in the payment of the marriage
fees, and mauy a-'good Father" buttoned bis
pocket upon a £99 or 130-note, after perform
ing the ceremony, as a reward of his kind ser
vice.
G O 11 D 1' N S v I L L E AMJ FllEl> BRICKS 111 KG
Railroad.—The Fredericksburg (Va.) Her
ald, speaking of this railroad, says that Wm.
I C. Moore, of Orange county, the newly elect

curing subscriptions to tbe work. It adds 1
"He his already secured a subscription of
some gll.'JOu in tbe country interested, and he
hopes to swell it to the required Sttt.otio, which,
with the * i3-*,oyn now lying unexpended in the

A Meeting of the Beard ef Visitors ef th*
Mrdical College of Virginia was held in this
city on tbe lith insf., to consider the meas
ures proper to be adopted in consequence of
the act lately passed by the General Assembly,
appropriating tbe sum of «y.»,ixjo for the
n .*.- on and improvement of the College
Buildings, and the enlargement of the Ma
■•eura. and other menus of instructioa. Ths
following gentlemen were present at the meet
■ ne: Wm. H. Macarlaad, Esq, Windham
Sober toon, E*q., Br. Robert H. Cabell. Br. J.
A. Cunningham, Richmond; James Lyons.

Staunton : Charles W. Russell Esq '
wheeling. *V ■*■
Tbe Presidency of the Board having been
vacated by the death of Jobn M. Pat too. Esq
William H. Macfarlaud, Esq., was elected
to fill the vacancy. Appropriate resolutions
•>f respect for the memory of the late Presi
dent were adopted.
A commu nidation having been submitted
from tbe Faculty, explaining their action in
connexion wi'h the late secession of students
from tbe Northern schools to this College, the
Board unanimously adopted a resolution" ap
proving the course pursued by the Faculty.
A deed, prepared by the Attorney General
and approved by tbe Governor, conveying all
'he properly of the College fo the Literary
Fund, (as required by the.net. of Assembly )
was laid before the Board, and tbe President
wasi the .am* so behalf
of ths College.
An Executive Committee was appointed to
direct, ia conjunction and consultation with
tbe Faculty, the disbursement of the money
appropriated by the Legislature in such
manner as may seem best adapted to ac.
complish the important ends proposed. This
committee consists of the Visitors resident in
Richmond and its vicinity, viz: Messrs. Mae
f.irland, Robertson and Lyons, and Drs. Ca
bell and Cunningham. .
Afer i lie adoption of a few additional regu
lations f..r the government of the College, Ac ,
the Hoard aajourned.
We learu that as soon as tbe necessary ar
rangements can be made, and the plans pro
perly matured, the gentleman charged with
this duty will proceed at once to the erection
of an a new Hospital or Infirmary, tbe alter
ation and improvement of the College build
ing, and the purchase ef such preparation*,
drawings and apparatus as may be needed
to furni-li every desirable means of illus
trating the lectures delivered at the College.
Respited—A petltiou has been presented to
Gov. Letcher, from citizens of Essex county,
asking the pardon of Eliza and Ann, two
slaves belonging to the esta'e of Dr. Croxton,
aud both now under sentence ol death, on
conviction or murdering their master. When
the prisoners were convicted, the court re
commended Eliza to Executive clemency.—
That recommendation was presented to Gov.
Leicher, and he refused to interfere with tue
judgment of the court. A second petition has
since been presented, asking the Governor to
respite the convicts for two week*, and this
petition has been granted. Both women are
mothers of infant children, and Eliza, the one
recommended by tbe court to Executive clem
ency, is believed to have been the mere tool of
Ann, who was in fact the murderess.
The Street Railway is Ihe all-absorbing ques
tion now before the public, aud many mer
chants and other business men are In continual
dread that the Council, at Its meeting next
Thursday, will so restrict the operations of
the company that they will not carry out the
enterprise. As far as we have beeu enabled to
form an opinion, we do not think that the
"city fathers" have any idea of doing more
than is necessary to protect tbe public inter
ests, and if they go no farther Hutu that, the
company will not object. At the price of fare
fixed upon in the ordinance presented bjf the
Ltommissioners of Streets, we are sure the
company cannot realize six percent, on their

time the road may pay better.
The Charter Elections are rapidly drawing
nigh, and, as a consequence, the various can
didates for public honors and their friends are
button-holing the "dear people"at every crook
and turn, and endeavoring to convince them
that they or their particular favorites have
peculiar qualifications for the posts they seek,
and that their competitors are entirely unfit
Office seekers generally are good fellows—treat
hberally. talk kindly, and are bail fellows we I
met with every "sovereign." It's really a
great pity that there are not fat Offices enough
for all such; but as some of them must be
"oiitstript" iv the race, our advice la all is, to
work like beavers until tbe polls are closed,
and then, like philosophers, be satisfied with
the result.
The Amended Charter of Ihe city is to be Voted
upon on tbe Ith of April,and we are sure .hat
every citizen who has given the subject a
thought will see the importance of having an
other high court for the disposal of the vast
amount, of civil aud criminal business con
tinually accumulating upon Judge Meredith,
and which must Inevitably overwhelm him,
unless he is relieved. Not ouly will an im
portant class of civil business be more readi
ly disposed of, but by the holding of monthly
terms the Hustings Judge can try criminal
causes, and thus facilitate the ends of justice.
li»t every friend of order, theu, vote for tbe
amended charter.
The Shipping in the dock yesterday morning
was quite attractive, in appearance, as well
for the number of vessels as for the neatness
i.nd good order to be witnessed. Most of tbe
jolly tars were neatly rigged out In their
Sunday-go-to-meeting suits, and seated about
ou the decks of their crafts reading and con
versing, whilst from the mast-heads ol many
01 the vessels were to be seen flattering In the
breeze the guy colored streamers aud the stars
aud stripes. When the Ueihel, at the corner
of 50th and Cary streets, is completed, these
men .-.ill then havea house of worship of their
own, which, we are sure they will properly
appreciate.
