All of which we stand prepared to prove, if We should not have spoken of this matter at all, bnt for the evident intention on the part of the Telegraph, to give the impression that their general circulation was larger than difficulty' between Messrs.

'Thesegentle- men nave returned to their seats, and the settlement has been publicly announced in the House as follows Mr. Preston rose for the purpose of making a personal explanation relative to a mat. ter which-recently transpired on this floor. It is yet, he said, in the memory of tlie Honso ithat debate recently occur-.

red between Mr. Cutting of New York and Mr. Breckenndge of Kentucky was marked by personalities. The character of the debate led to some discussion of its features outside of the walls of this bouse. Soforos Mr.

Cutting is concerned, he referred the matter in controversy to his friends, Colonel Monroe of New York and Gen Shields U. S. Senator from Illinois. So far as Mr. Breck- emidgeis concerned, he referred the matter to Col.

Hawkins of Kentucky and myself. I am authorized by these gentlemen to state that the matter in controversy bos been settled in a manner mutually satisfactory, and, we conceive, mutually honorable to both gentlemen who were engaged in that debate. I have another duty to perform an behalf of these gentlemen, and that is, as they have violated in debate the rales of order established for the government of the House, they express mutual regret that any such occurrence has taken place, and ask its indulgence as a body for its occurrence. It is a source of gratification for those gentlemen, who make strong promise of future usefulness to the country, and who are already admired by a large circle of friends, that this matter has been adjusted in a manner, I am entirely convinced, satisfactory to all their friends. I thank the House for their attention.

Every week be publishes strong appeals to the people of Ireland, urging them to refrain fron enlisting in tho British army against Russia, reminding them of the many things they have already suffered, and assuring them that the great abject of England in the present contest, is to maintain the arbitrary control she now holds over Ireland, in common with her other dependencies. In a letter addressed to tbe "Survivors of the Irish in Ireland under forty years of uses tbe following language: "England has another powerful interest in arming against is to prevent ah European war, to prevent the consequent uprising of, the -crushed nationalities of tbe Continent, and, Irishmen, your nationality, which is the most heavily crashed of all. With the despotisms of Europe the British aristocracy stands or falls, livoe, or else dies and goes to And it can hardly be needful, to remind you, that during tbe European against Napoleon 1,, it was the English that monarchs of Xurope to fight foriheir own capi- tals'and them with, borrowed which you pay tbe interestyet out of every meal you eat, out of every rag you wear.

Alton city furnishes strong proof that this substance (nuasm) does not cross onr wide rivers. The settlement of that place commenced in 1830. It lies on the margin of the Mississippi, and under and on bluffs, with tho river running nearly east and along southern border.

Across the river fronting south, is one of the most extensive tracts of nch alluvial bottom- to be found tying along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and has always been a sickly region, while Alton city, from a half to one mile distant, has been proverbially healthy. LITERARY CASKET. The Odd FeUotcf Literary Casket, for April, has been sent us for examination. It is edited by W. P.

Snuaajuta, D. at Cincinnati; and furnished at $2 per annum. It has a very neat appearance. It is well supplied with statistics and able original articles, exhibiting tbe condition and illustrating the principles of the Order. eto York Monthly, for April, has just-been laid on our table by Messrs.

KXUSKBKKGBE ATWOOD. This, it will be observed, is the third number of anew magazine, which, in point of interest and real merit, bids fair to equal, if not surpass anything of the kind in onr country- It is admirably adapted, as it was evidently designed, to supply a want in magazine literature long and seriously felt, being neither morbidly metaphysical nor frivolously romantic. It will be readily concedes that amagatlne are the nature or number of the specifications. Ono of them, I learn, is that the Senator in question has used his franking privilege in circulating sermons against Nebraska. It is said, however, that Mr.

Pettitbas abandoned the attempt, having either become ashamed of it, or found tbe material npon ''which to found his charges altogether too slight. TEMPERANCE DT MIDDLBTOWN; The meeting was opened in the usual form, prayer by the Eev-Cnls. HOWASD. A few remarks were submitted, by the Secretary, afterwhichthe meeting was by Rev. Mr.

HOWARD, in which he eloqnont- ly defended the principles of the Maine Law, shovnog, by reference to its details, bow completely it is adapted to tbe accomplishment of the object of its enactment. Tbe speaker then urged, with energy and ability, the propriety bold and undisguised action on the subject, in view of our approaching elections. The following resolution was adopted, which is commended to the notice of kindred associations throughout the State; Rtnltta, That it is the sense of this Bounty that the frienda of tbe prohibitory taw ought to procure, at an early day, the services of the best legal talent, ttf mature, in advance of the session of the Legisla lure, the details of a hill on this subject that mil fully meet the and at the same time odmitbf no eonjtitntional obstacles. Tbe meeting adjourned to Tuesday evening, tho 19th inst. J.

P. ASH, Pres. R.BAMJIJ!, Seo'y. passed, and was signed on Saturday, and the adjourned to meet in this city next Wednesday. What benefit the removal will be to our city remains to be seen That tho bar-rooms, theater, and hotels will be benefited, I have not a doubt.

The legislature of California is composed of a set of "hail-fellows well bold longses- sions, do very little business, and have a good time generally. The arrival of every steamer adds largely to the female portion of onr population, the beneficial effects of which is already being felt throughout tbe State. The following from a mountain paper will give you some idea of tha state of society in the mountain's The present condition of Society in the mountains is far from being as good as it is in the States, and yet it is rapidly improving. We already have a number of highly respectable ladies in this portion of the mountains, although through the imported organization of society, there is not that sociability to be found among tbem whichjuay be found in almost any of the cities and villages in the Atlantic States. Indeed, in this respect, tbe ladies ore not as sociable among their ewn sex as they were a year ago, notwithstanding tbe great increase of their numbers, bnt the cause of the change may bo found in the fact of their increase of numbers, as that increase gives each particular taste, tbe privilege ofjohposing companions according to their fancy or inclination, and though in some instances it may be limited to only two or three; it is all the same, they bave found their congenial have room for gossip, and they are satisfied.

Another reason can be found in the necessity of association that formally existed, owing to the great scarcity of females in the mountains at that time. (We speak of females particularly, as society is nothing, absolutely nothing without Ladies did body, fired again, repeating it who, by this took the pistol from her. The last last shot took effect, and Hoffman exclaimed, I'm ahot, yon are an ungrateful woman," or words to that effect. He was immediately raised from the floor and placed "upon tbe counter, Mrs. Baker in tbe meantime having walked forward a few paces to the front of the store and sat down with her back towards the wounded, man.

We understand that Hoffman expressed a desire to speak to her before he died. In a short time afterward medical aid was called in and he was removed into the office of Dr. J. B. Johnson, in the second story of tbe same his wound was dressed and an investigation bad by Drs.

Johnson, AUeyue and Baumgartner. As be was being conveyed from the store, he addressed Mrs. Baker and said. I forgive you." Deputy Marshals McCamant and Ogcien in themeantime arrived and tookllri. Baker in charge, who all the time remained in the store, the door having been locked 'to keep out tbe crowd, which, by this time, had began to assemble in great numbers.

'At the time the shooting took plack there were some six or eight ladies in the store shopping, all of whom ran out in the greatest frignt ui on the first discharge of the pistol, with the exception of one lady in the rear of the store, within afew.feet.of when! the first shot was fired, who swooned and fainted. The impression exists in tbe minds of those present in the store, that ibo first shot also must have taken effect, or else the barrel was not properly loaded, for the reason that they find no trace of its contents after a diligent search. In short time after the affair occurred, Mr. Baker, the husband, who had been sent for, arrived at the store. He appeared to be greatly excited, and as soon as he entered tbe storey the husband ja'nd and Baker exclaimed, "Mary, what have you done Mrs B.

was perfectly calm and composed during the whole time, and exhibited a degree of firmness that is almost incredible. A carriage was sent for, and Mr. 'and Mrs. Baker, accompanied by Capt; Oou- zins and two'other gentlemen, entered, and they were carried round to the jail, it being deemed under the circumstances, most secure place." Mrs. delivered to the Weer vs by, Chief justice Treat.

This was an, action ejectment, brought Habn against Weer, to recover possession of a tract of land in Maeoupm county. 1 The Plaintiff deduced Mia from" the patentee to herself. Tho'Defendant proved that the- land was sold for taxes, and. pur-' chased by him. Objection is made to the tax title, because the notice to tho owner was not published in the nearest newspaper to the to'the prpvison of the Constitution.

"To secure this ments of tbe constitution must be strictly complied with. In this cose the notice was not published in 1 the "nearest newspaper published in this State to the county." The defendant has not compiled with the requisitions of the constitution; there were four newspapers published nearer to the county than the one in which tbe notice was inserted. The question which is tbe nearest newspaper to the county, mnst necessarily be determined by com' A BtrasiAif ravraAim TO AMERICA TO, jors Hsa -t I ACilhST AND FBAhCE.

They are the only artists who are capable of polishing the rough and rude surface of California they are capable, and so soon as we shall have imported a sufficient number of refined, and accomplished ladies to fill our churches, beautify our cottages and temper the ambition of onr aspiring youths, just so soon, we shall find that society is as good in the mountains of California, as it is in any other place in the world." Two Altonians, Rufns Lesure and Jackson Waples, return home by the steamer of the 1st inst.

Hoffman was subsequently conveyed in a carriage to the Sisters' Hospital, accom- by his physicians and one or two ends. The excitement was so great to learn the extent of his injuries and their 'probable termination, that the neighborhood' of the Hospital, upon the arrival of the carnage containing the. wounded man, was crowded with people; The physicians, however, report only one wound, and that on the: right: aide a short distance below the armpit between tbe ribs.

They give it us tkur opinion that the wound, though exceedingly dangerous -not necessarily a mortal one, as there are no signs of the ball having struck any of the internal organs, although ifci course if it did not touch, is in close proximity with the lungs. There -was no bleeding or any other symptoms that indicate that tho ball had touched this organ, although there is a possibility of its having done so. When Hoffman was first Dr; Johnson's he was very faint and almost-unable to articulate: The proper restoratives were applied, and he seemed to revive a little, when at his own suggestion, ho desired to make a statement occurrence. Justice was sent for when Hoffman made the following declaration, which though very short appeared to pain came up Fourth quantity of property, but which js ered ontil the party who is to forms a partnership with a third person, after which the property is delivered to the firm and not party with whom the original engagement was made, and the party delivering said property may sue amf recover of thefirm.

Held, In an action of Replevin under the Statute for the wrongful detention of property, the plfia non dihnet does not put in issue the hue to the property, and. under that issue Hie Plaintiff is not bound to prove property in himself. On this issue the Plamtiffmnst prove a. demand of the property, by himself, or an authorized agent, before the commencement of the suit, to entitle him to a verdict. If the Defendant has reasonable grounds to doubt the authority of the agent, and upon that ground refuses to deliver the property to such agent, such a demand and refusal will not entitle the plaintiff to recover without proving the agency, and that such agency was known to the defendant.

It bos been my lotfor fifty years and upwards, watch tbe continuous changes which have taken place in the world's, government, and I have seen with sorrow the all-powerful influence of England in keeping back improvement, under the delusive plea that her "glorious Constitution" was: the-acme of human invention, tand that man mnst be taught to see or feel the truth by every possible means which its aristocratic rulers could devise. I quite agree with a. distinguished member of the late bovernment of be pronounced the English Whigs an "organised hypocrisy," and I should not be doing justice to my experience, if 1 did not consider this the most appiopriate definition of her glorious Constitution, of which theill-informed subjects of her Majesty boost 10 much. Russia is not blind to this foot, and the time has arrived, when she feels herself prepared to prove that aha will no longer submit to be duped by the crafty statesman other once most faithful ally. No sensible man can, for a single moment, believe ihat England feels any further inter- eat for the unfortunate Turk, than wbatserves her special purpose, and she has been using her exertion and influence in every quarter to moke it appear that she is the defender of the weak against the strong.

How for France, collectively, believes her I know not, bnt it serves the purpose of the present Emperor to act in concert with her under this bare faced presumption. The late King of France purchased his right to wear tbe crown from England, and Napoleon very nearly treads in the-path of his predecessor, and most probably will share the same fate for his folly. What in the name of common sense has id'sdoorto was subjugated to England, and we all know also, that England could not play the high game of Dictator if India were separated from hererasp; and I must again repeat, what bos France to do with it further than it serves the immediate purpose of tbe Emperor? I am not going to advocate the right of Russia, to: subdue Turkey; at the same time, I cannot see how England has a right to expect that Russia wiU remain a passive wit ness to England's triumphs, to her injury, in common with that of all other countries which have been obliged to submit to her absolute pleasure. Russia has the power to liberate the world from England's grasp, if she bos tbe virtue and courage to do so.

Mayor How nnd a body of police were in attendance to preserve order, but at a given signal an attack was make upon the jail. The doors were violently assailed with stones and other missiles, and Capt.

Conzms was struck with a slung shot or some other weapon, on thehead, and rendered insensible: A discharge of fire arms in tbe air on the part of the police, sent the insurgents in every direction in the greatest confusion. The alarm soon spread that Capt, Conzms was killed, and tbe word was quickly passed down the street, creating oonsternation and excitement in its course. In a few minutes the fire bells rang, and large crowds were seen hastening towards tbe jail. In the meantime two or three military companies marched up the street and took their stations on the gronndln front of the jail. It was thought that tbe insurgents, after the panic, would reinforce themselves and come again, but they doubtless discretion the better part of valor, and kept off for the balance of the night.

Capt. Coazins was taken down to the Police Offcewherehis wound was dressed. Wo are happy to state, however, that though severely he was not seriously injured.

The only question in this case is, whether section 13 of the criminal code is now in force. Held, The act of 1st February, 1851, was verbal repeal section 132 of criminal code. The two laws were inconsistent, and could not stand together. In such cose the latest statue prevails. Tbe act of 1st February, 1850, was expressly 1 repealed by an act passed on 7th of February, 1853, but according to cur statute, the laws repealed by the former act were not thereby revived.

The law as it stood in 1843, including section 132 was revived by an act passed on tho 12tb of and is 'now in force: Bingbam et al. vs. Maxey administrator by Chief Justice Treat. Held, A purchaser at administrator's sale, acts at his peril. The administrator only sells the interest that was vested in The rale of -caveat emptor is strictly applicable.

In absence of fraud, the purchaser must not only look out for the title, bnt for the quality of the. article he purchases. Bingham vs. by Chief Justice Treat. JZrfrf, That it is the duty of a Sheriff, before levying an execution, whenever practical to notify defendant, and it becomes the duty of the latter, if he claims the benefit of the statute, to fnrmah the omcer with a description of his property liable to execution; if he fails in this he waives his right under the statute, aid the Sheriff may levy on any property liable to execution.

It is too late for the defendant to complain after the levy. Gurnard vs. by Chief Justice Treat. This was an action of debt ea, EO as to have a free passage to tbe sea in that quarter, and by uniting Prussia with Denmark on the one side, and Sweden and Norway on the other side, in confederate union with herself, keep an open door for her shipping in tne Balbo, but she will not be able to absorb those countries and amalgamate them with Russia, even if she wished it. And further, England and France would ultimately liberate Europe rather than Russia should conquor any portion of Russia is tho best friend America bos at this moment, and can help her in the work of regeneration.

America bos money, andEussiais in want if it; and no doubt Russia will be glad to contract a debt with America at the rate of 6 pc" by obtaining cash, but for cash worth in ships, atid themeans of keeping up the war with thostjicho oppose her. America can build her ships to any extent, large and small, and American ships can take onr Russian seamen for them, as passengers, which-neither. France nor; England con prerent. England would break with France to-morrow, conld she go back to her anginal position with Russia, bnt this she must not be permitted to do, if the world has a right to be free! She fears America, but she does not respecl her, and I trust the people of the United itates are not blind to this fact, and they never had a better opportunity than they have at this moment to teach England to understand her duty. Had Napoleon tbe will, he also bos tbe chance, being handed down to posterity as another Washington, and you probably know bow bis uncle regretted the loss of this chance; and if he is a wise man he will let it slip from his grasp, although England will try hard, and kiss ins foot to prerent it.

America surely has some friend in France, who con venture to advise him at this danger-' ous moment, before he involves himself in eleven different Tork. ted by tbe wire, and a net work of fines extends west as far as Missouri, about 500 towns and Tillages being provided.with, sta-' tions. When the contemplated lines connec- ting California with tbe Atlantic, aodNoT- onndland with the mam continent are completed, San Francisco will be with St. John's, Newfoundland, distant from Galway but five days' passage. It is, therefore, estimated that intelligence maybe conveyed from the Pacific to £nrope in about six days.

In America the electric telegraph is used by all classes of society as nn ordinary method of transmitting intelligence. Commercial men use tbe electric telegpaphin their transactions to a very great extent, 'About two columns of matter a day is' transmitted by telegraph to tbe New York papers. So, under the guidance of good sense, the 15,000 miles of telegraph are not an unprofitable commercial speculation.

In ocean steam navigation they are onr only competitors, and even in that they are not behind as. The application of labor-saving ry fo working wood ia very extensive in America. -An abundance of the material and a scarcity of bands have led to inventions which people in Bnglond are beginning-to The sawmills are wonderful; self-acting machinery makes doors, and window frames, and oases. Builders are auch articles cheaper than they can. make them.

Portable sawing machines, driven by horsepower, are used for sawing up logs of wood for fuel. Planing machines are in common use.

Every man in America being perfectly free to keep bis wagon, the use of wagons almost ah advance for England if every man conld keep his wagon.

The manufacture of wagons supports a great number of wheelwrights andartuinsof that class, who, from the nature of their employment, attain great skill and aptitude, enabling them to torn their hands to almost every variety of work, and.rendering them a most useful and important class. So to have wagons perfectly untaxed raises up, as among us tbe free cotton trade has raised up, important and intelligent class es of workmen; IS. on two judgments.

Keel vs. by Chief Justice Treat. Held, That an appeal or writ of error, does not he from an interlocutory decree or udgment. There must be a final decision of a case before it can be removed into this Court, snch decision as settles the rights of the parties in respeot- to the subject matter of tbe suit and concludes them until it is reversed or set aside. The People vs.

Smith et by Chief Justice Treat. The Commissioners of highways of Lewistown, made an offer for opening a road over the lands of the Rela- tor. The Relator took an appeal to the Supervisors of the towns of EUisnlle, Putnam, and Liverpool. Appeal was addressed to Supervisors by name. The appeal was dismissed by Supervisors, because it was addressed to one of them as Jesse B.WiIcockaen,when it should have been E.

0. Wilcocksen. Held, That the statute does not require an apppeal to be addressed to Supervisors by name, it is enough that it is addressed generally to the Supervisors; it is no part of tbeir duty to sustain dilatory or technical objections. further troubles; and it is very clear that he is surrounded with danger of no common character.
