tSF" vesterdav pnve if rumor that Judge Morgan had resigned his office of United States Collector. The Courier of last evening denies positively that there are any gronnds for the rufnor. We disclaim all sinister notives in leaking the statement. After the-above had been written we noticed a second paragraph in the Courier, which says 44 Whatever foundation there may be for the rumored retirement of the Collector," This language seems odd after the previous emnhatic denial of the truth of the rumor. I To the officers of the steamers Brilliant and Republic our thanks are" due for late river papers.

The Old Camp. The old Camp street theatre, around which cluster so many associa tions connected with the early establishment of the English drama in our city, and the rise and urozrees of the Faubourg St. Mary," after having undergone change and been the victim of conflagration, is again restored to its fair proportions. Although it may not again be devoted to dramatic we hope it will be directed to some use as profitable to its proprietor. 3P By the schr Commerce, Capt.

Madeline Dawson wife of William Dawson, who some, time ago wan tabbed by Dr. Samuel Kennedy, and who has since stabbed the latter in the street is now suing her husband for a divorce in the Parish Court. She farther asks that she may have charge and control over their two children, and that her aforesaid husband (Dawson) be or-' dered and compelled to pay her $12 per week, or per month, alimony.

The case deve- lopca. a considerable quantity of scandal, and shows that mutrimony is not in all cases, after all, what it isjeracked up to be.

An Editor in Distress. The editor of the Florida Journal published at Apalachicola, thus bewails the state of the weather and of his own pockets. Something should be done for him promptly For the last two-weeks we have bad nothing but shower upon shower, and every now and then a settled rain we are complete! drowned out our umbrella worn ut, and no money to buy another. Our river is high, and the Gulf vf Mexico in a terrible swell f. Municipality watchman, but at the time of Ste phen's arrest he was suspended from duty.

He first, with the aid. of James Hayes and Patrick McMahon, two men whom he casually met, arrested Stephen. He took his watch and what money he found on him and let him go he gave Hayes $50 for the assistance which he rendered and went right to the police oflice and delivered up the watch and, as he says, the balance of the money, and told where he be-Ueved Stephen had the remainder or the great bulk of the stolen money deposited. He went with other officers there and the money was found and after finding it he and Commissary James remained there till the slave came at night, when they arrested him. Letford'e conduct is far from being what that of an honest officer should be, yet it does not appear that he meant to abet the thief, or pre vent Lambeth Thompson from getting their money.

His object seems to have been to prevent all others but himself from getting any portion of the $500 reward offered for the recovery of the money. If in doing this he has been actually guilty of any dishonest act, of which the law can take cognizance, it is right that he should be made to suffer for it, were it but for an example to those who, for a bribe, will do less, or, for a reward, will do more than their duty. We are far from believing that this is a solitary instance of the kind, and we are therefore glad that the Council of the Second Municipality have taken action to prevent in future such temptations to cupidity. We would have the lowest officers of the law men of known integrity. It is time to frown down the corrupting doctrine of "set a thief to catch a thief." Pine-ANCiERiNG.

By late Kingston papers wn learn the death of the Countess of Elgin, lady of his Excellency) the Governor of the Island of Jamaica. She expired on the 7th having prematurely given birth to a female child, which survived but a few hours after its birth. The funeral of Lady Elgin took place on the 8th with every demonstration of respect for her rank and regard and affection for her person.

The details of the mournful ceremonies would not interest our readers. Among those who joined in the funeral procession were ex-President Boyer and the American and Spanish consuls. Bp Charles Horn, so well known throughout the United States as a vocalist and clever composer, lately gave a concert in England, assisted by his Bon and his wife. His cantata, composed in this country, of the Christmas Bells," was performed, and was received with marked applause. Murder in Mobile.

The rumor that a shocking murder has been committed in Mobile would appear to be fully confirmed by the Daily Advertiser of Thursday. The victim was a fisherman, a Hungarian by birth, frugal and industrious. He was known to have in his possession about $100 in silver shortly before his death. Two Spaniards who lodged at the same house with the murdered man (known only by the name of John) and a third, who was a fellow fisherman, are believed to have perpetrated the deed with the sole purpose of robbing their victim of his little savings. All three, it is believed, escaped to this city, and we trust that our police will give their best aid to the officers from Mobile to ferret out the wretches concerned in so inhuman and cowardly a crime.

EF" Freeman, the American giant and pugilist, on exhibition in Dublin, was admitted an associate at the great Repeal meeting, amid thunders of applause. EF We perceive that the abolitionists in Boston have presented their petition to the President that he would emancipate his slaves, by enclosing it in a letter written by their Chairman, Wendell Philips. In this an interview is desired for the purpose of conferring with him on the subject of the petition. At our last accounts the President had. made no reply to their communication.

Taking a Bribe from a Letford, the person charged with colluding with Stephen, the slave of Lambeth Thompson, who robbed that firm of a large amount of money, underwent an investigation yesterday before Recorder'Baldwin. The Recorder sent the case before, the Criminal Court, and held Letford to bail for his appearance in the sum of $1000, on three charges, taking money from a slave, dealing with a slave and obtaining money under false pretences. Letford was a Second Ezcnrslons across the Lake. To judge from the eagerness with which our citizens, old and young, male and female, whose avocations confine them to the city during the summer months, all avail themselves of the first day's respite from toil to hie away to some watering place across the Lake, one would be led to believe that there was nought but pleasure to be met with in these excursion. Now, our own experience is somewhat different, for every time we have tried it we have found the bitter mingled with the sweet, as profusely at least as in any other of the concerns of life.

Take, for example, such resorts as Biloxi, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, and the like-to reach these points, the boats leave here in the course of the afternoon. If you desire to go in one of them, you must, unless yen are a man of leisure, hurry through all your work for the day, keep yourself in an almost perpetual and literal stew lest some necessary demand upon you be overlooked, despatch in haste a half eaten dinner, rush down to the railroad in an agony of apprehension lest the cars should leave you behind, and ultimately find yourself upon a boat, neat and comfortable enough for a due number of passengers but crowded to its utmost capacity by your fellow citizens in search of fresh air, as they call it, fish dinuers and sea bathing. Well, suppose that you get fuirly through with all these troubles that, by the aid of courteous captains and clerks, you get a tolerable supper, you have then to be steamed nearly to death for some hours on tho boiler deck, or to go forward and get muddled with cock-tails and juleps at the bar, or to go on the upper deck, and get thoroughly wet through by the scudding showers. Thence you descend, overcome with drowsiness, to seek a moment's sleep in a chair, which you have no sooner begun to enjoy than you are aroused to see some passenger sent ashore at some point where you do not wish to land yourself.

All this while, you are in a nervous trepidation about some paltry little bundle, containing but a change of linen, which you are afraid will inevitably be lost, and which, trifling as it is, is yet indispensable to your comfort. At last you reach some wharf, or semblance of a wharf, some hours after You grope your way along some long, dark passage, fearful lest every moment you plunge off to the right or left, or what is worse, plunge your leg through a crevice which should be covered by a sound plank. At last you reach the sandy beach with unharmed limbs, and immediately set about ploughing your way towards a dis tant light which indicates the neighborhood of a hotel. After much toil and tribulation you reach the desired terminus of your journey, hot, wearied and sleepy. You seek a room, and retire at once to repose on an unusual couch not arranged after the fashion you affect, not graduated to the angle you desire.

You ure haunted by nightmare, superinduced by the sufferings you have undergone and the. unwonted support upon which you have been reclining. You welcome with pleasure the repeated entrances of two rival boots," who carry back and forth your sandal-shoon," each emulous to appear in your eyes the last to have added a polish to their already sufficient lustre. You rouse yourself to find a bright, clear morning, and straightway don your vestments for the day and sally forth for breakfast. You find that you are up too soon by half breakfast will not be ready short of two hours.

You set about killing time in the fashion appears most feasible. Books there are none, the papers you have read you essay to walk. A hundred yards over that white sand brings you up panting. You return to refresh yourself with a glass of claret, or a more potent and fragrant beverage, and forthwith seek out some shady corridor, and therein station yourself with dogged obstinacy, resolved not to stir from the comparatively cool retreat till summoned to breakfast. But breakfast, it would seem, is never to come you interrogate with pertinacity every waiter that passes ithin call, and all alike reply, ready in a few minutes." At last it begins to be hinted, about among the habituis of the house, those in the secret, that the waiters have all struck that morning for higher wages.

That's a pretty tale to tell to a gentleman who almost faints at waiting fifteenjtninutes for his coffee, and has now been a-foot two hours Bnt breakfast does come at last, however and a very good one it is', too but out of temper and nervous as a witch, you are incapable of appreciating it; you potter" over a fried croaker or so for minutes, swallow a goblet of Saulerne, and emerge to speculate as to employment for the day. To be shut up in the house all the while would be ridiculous you can enjoy enough of that luxury in town. You essay to walk again, but it seems ten times hotter than before the boys all about you are already roasting eggs in the sand, and you are speedily driven back for shelter to the house. There, what with some pleasing chatting, some cards, some billiards, some ten-pins and some juleps all of which rare luxuries are quite as accessible at home you while away the time till dinner. The dinner is good, altogether as it should be, so far as the fish goes you miss the wine, however, which you can so promptly resur rect" at home.

But never mind thut; tl'o dinner is good, and you make the most of it. At last the ladies retire, and soon thereafter the gentlemen follow them. It is still too hot to sally forth for a walk; it is certainly five de grees hotter than you ever knew it in town, and to make it the more agreeable the wind has died away entirely, and the lake stretches out before you as smooth as a mirror. In town there is always in the afternoon a shady side to some of the streets, and a man may venture to stir abroad, hot as it may be but here there is nothing to be done till the sun goes down. Now, too, it is time to determine by what 1 Ml ooai you win return.

You canvass the claims ot all you know are coming, and finally deter. mine to take the first one, to make the thing sure. Besides, she is not the crack" boat, and will not te crowded, lou manage to survive until called to supper, and you again have occasion to praise the fish but you have scarcely concluded the repast ere a light is discovered a long distance down the lake, and yon are told the boat is coming. Your excessively extensive wardrobe is speedily repacked, the reckoning made with your landlord, and you take up your line of march for the end pf that loug wharf. And what a beautiful place for inusquitos that wharf is How large and vigorous is the race indigenous to that neighborhood.

Luckily yon have nothing to do but to fight them. Seating yourself on a wood-pile, you commence the compaign against them, it requiring all the patience and skill of Fabius to make head at all against their advancing legions. It seems as if that boat never nrnuM rpncli von. You wait a full hour and a half ere shu comes up, and by the time she is moored to the wharf you are faint with loss of blood, and worn out with the fatigues of the unequal conflict you have waged. Of course you promise yourself a night of cool repose on board the boat.

Now mark what follows. jWhen the boat gets under way you repair to the office to have a berth assigned you and then learn to your surprise, horror and dismay that every state-room is full that your only chance is upon the floor you, who slept the night previous on a bed not made for a sensualist. You make the most of it, however the more cheerfuilv in conseauence of the nromnt courtesy of the officers of the boat. A thin mattress is stretched out upon the floor for you, a chair turned down forms your pillow, and worn out with the day's exertions you lay down to rest." To rest, did we say to be devoured by inusquitos monsters more blood-thirsty than the savages of the Carribee islands, preposterously huge in their proportions and more ravenous than a famished tigress. Protecting your face and hands in ihe best manner you may, you apply yourself toelecp; you almost fancy you do fall into a doze, but the moment you do so your grasp, which retains a covering upon your face, relaxes, and the bloodsuckers the gallinippers, are at once upon you in myriads again.

Oh, how you pray for a little slumber, a little sleep but it is not to be had on that boat. You turn and turn yourself again, but you can no more escape your tormentors than a wounded deer from a horde of ravenous wolves. When the dawn appears you rush on deck, feverish with excitement and maddened with pain. We have not room to pursue the theme further, but it is now that you are in a fitting frame of mind to meditate upon the pleasures of an excursion, across the lake. We cannot bring ourselves to doubt that every reader who shall chance to encounter a tithe of the hardships which we did upon our last trip, will confess that there are attractions yet left in town quite sufficient to induce one to forego all the luxuries that the watering places could hold forth, were their facilities ten times greater-thnn they are, if they are to be purchased at the price we paid.

BP We can hear nothing definite as to the French project of running line of steamships from Havre to New York. A gentleman in Paris writes to the Charleston Courier that the papers have said one steamer intended for the line had made a successful experimental trip from Toulon, but he would seem not to believe it. It is even.

doubtful, according to this authority, whether they will not be compelled to select Brest instead of Havre as the point of departure, in consequence of the want of a sufficient depth of water at the latter port. The Writings of Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Ellis, the distinguished authoress, who has civen usher exquisite chapters on "The Wives of England," "The Women of England," and The Daughters of England," has in her various writings produced innumerable gems, worthy the perusal and study of every daughter of Adam.

We commend her sentiments to the 'reading world. The virtuous and the vicious, the enlightened and the uninformed, the cautious and -the reckless, will all find alike encouragements and admonitions; and the uninitiated, the unsophisticated of the fairer portion of creation will in this lady's writings see the most wholesome truths and precepts, leading the mind and heurt to purity and heavenly affection. We have said that the writings of Mrs. Ellis abound with gems, and hence in our brief space the difficulty of making an extract; for if we noticed all that we find to admire in them, we should overrun our columns. But the following, as an illustration of our opinion of the merits of her works, strikes us as particularly appropriate.

It evinces knowledge of human nature, a spirit of virtue, and a worthy love of learning. We extract it from her Daughters of England Such is the position in societv which many estimable women are called to fill, that unless they have stored their minds with general knowledge during the season of youth, they never have the opportunity of doing so again. How valuable, then, is such a store, to draw upon for thought, when the hand throughout the day is busily employed, and sometimes when the head is also weary. It is then that knowledge not only sweetens labor, but often, when the task is ended, and a few social friends are met together, it conies forth unbidden, in those glimpses of illumination which a well-formed intelligent woman is able to strike out of the humblest material. It is then that, without the slightest attempt at display, her memory helps her to throw in those apt allusions which clothe the moat familiar objects in borrowed light, and make us feel, after having enjoyed her society, as if we had been introduced to a new and more intellectual existence than we had enjoyed before.

It is impossible for an ignorant, and consequently a short-sighted, prejudiced woman, to exercise this influence over us. We soon perceive the bounds of-the narrow circle within which she reasons, with self ever in the centre we detect the opinions of others in her own' and we feel the vulgarity with which her remarks may turn upon ourselves the moment we are gone. So far as cleverness, learning and knowledge are conducive to woman's moral existence, they are therefore desirable, and no farther. All that would occupy her mind to the exclusion of better things all that would involve her in the mazes of flattery and admirationall that would tend to draw away her thoughts from others and fix them on herself, ought to be. avoided as an evil to her, however brilliant or attractive it may be in itself."

Com' rial Court Thomas W. Be amis et al, of JScw Orleans. Appellees. In this cae the Court this day delivered rkeir opinion in writing, in the words and figures following The plaintiiTsiind defendants were partners in trade, the Conner residing in M-Lssaelilisetls, and the latter in New Orleans, where the was transacted. The ronnerlion was formed in the month of September, 1836, and it was intended shonld continue three years; but in the commencement of the year 1839, the partners became dissatisfied with each other, and all confidence between ihem being lost, the plaintiffs ent an ageut to this city, for the purpose of bringing the partnership to a close, which was effected hy the plaintiffs purchasing the interest of the defendant.

This was effected early in March, 1S39 about two years after, tliey commenced this suit, alleging various acts of fraud and miconduct on ihe part ot the defendant in the management of the aflmrs of the firm, and concealment tf different transactions, whereby they were injured and induced to give more for the interest of defendant than they would otherwise. The petition and supplement allege a variety of transactions and acts as beinir fraudulent, and concludes by praying for a rescissing of the side or purchase of interest in the firm, a dissolution of it, and that the defendant render a full account, and the accounts be referred to auditors for settlement, and that there be judgment in their favor. The answer negatives in the strongest manner nil the allocations of ihe priitinn, and prays the cause to be tried by a jury. It as mi tried, and" after a long investigation a verdict was given lor the defendant, and Ihe plaintiffs have appealed. The counsel for the plaintiffs relies principally on a bill of exception which he has taken to the judge permitting a certain document annexed to the evidence of Loring Thayer to be read, with his explanations in relation to it, as stated in his deposition The witness was stating the causes tbnt led to the rupture between the plaint ins and defendants, and the probable consequences of it to the plaintiffs, if the settlement and purchase bad not been made.

The delendant complained of extravagant charges of interest against him, and overcharges in the invoice of goods sent him and the witness produced an Agreement between himself and plaintiffs, by which lie (witness) was fo furnish a large portion of the stock for the New Orleans store, and to charge prices ranging from ten lo fifteen per cent, above the ordinary rales, the profits of which he was to divide with the plaintiffs. The ground of objection was, the document and 'evidence was not admissible under the isurs made by the pleadings, and could not be received until a decision was had upon the pending questions, and that it only went to les-en or increase the balance on a final settlement. The judge did not err in admitting the testimony. The ti in i 1 1 issue between the parties was one of fraud, and it is shown that a want of confidence ami a mutual suspicion of e.icu nmer entered unoiiie consideration lor making the settlement; the document was therefore admissible, as it went to show the suspicions of the defendant were well founded, and. that there was sufficient cause for dissolving the partnership.

The counsel for the plaintiff moved for a new trial, on the ground of misconduct of one or more of the jury, and that the verdict was contrary lo the law and evidence. The miconduct complained of is, that the defendant offered to submit as evidence certain papers, which be offered a witness to prove were balance sheets taken from the books and exhibited to the plaintiff- they were rejected, but in the argument of the case, the counsel for the defendant reierred to them ami read tliem as memoranda, instead of referring to the books. After he had got through with them. In; laid them on a chair near him, when one of the jurors, who was silting near, look the papers and alter looking over two or three pages, laid it down again. This attracted the notice of one of the plaintiffs and bis counsel at the time, but they iuade.no objection then.

The jury did not have the paper in their retirement, nor is it shown it did or could xercise any inllueiu-e over them in making up their opinion. Only one of ihe jurors looked at the papers in a cursory manner, and it is not shown that what be saw was repeated to his fellows. Anoilier ground is, that the jury retired and made up iheir verdict without, hearing all the evidence upon which the cause was tried belore them. We know of no law that makes it the duty of the jury to carry all the documents and papers submitted to them, into their consultation room. Thev have a right to do so, and as a general rule it is best" to have Oiem for reference but if the jurors remember the contents, we see no more reason for taking them with them, than there is for taking witnesses who have given paiol evidence.

The document which it is said the jury did not have with them, is an account made out by the'plaintitls defendant, stating the various items claimed of him. If the jurv thought the plaintiffs had no claim at all the defendant, we do not see what jossible effect a statement in detad could have had upon the judgment. We concur with the judge belnw in the conclusion lo which he has come, and upon the merits are satisfied with the verdict. It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the Commercial Court be affirmed, with cosis. A true copy.

Willis tells of a new method which he saw adopted on Broadway to raise a horse from a pit into which he had fallen, but upon his feet. In his own words "The driver, who was a man for an emergency, took off his coat very-quietly, picked up one of the shovels of the absent workmen, and commenced filling up the ditch. The loose dirt went in very fast, and the horse, with un instinct against leing buried alive, rose with the surface. From being some inches below the pavement, his head was above ground when I left him, and as the old man was still filling in very industriously, I presume he soon had him once more at the level of cock-crowing." d3 The Charleston Patriot says there are l'l millionsol Jintish capital invested in foreign countries, 1 00 millions of which pay no interest.

Messrs. A. B. Sands 4i Co: Gentlemen Permit me to add another to the many testimonials in favor of your Sarsaparilla. I was about seven years ago sick for many months with a bilious fever, during- which 1 took a great deal of powerful medicine.
