Lovely legislation that CiuntA Court. Several prisoners pre-viosuly convicted were yesterday brought up to sceive their sentence.

Bill Sales, for waa the first called on; he said he was ready to receive bis sentence, axd had do remarks to offer to the Court. The Judge said the circumstances under which he came before the Court were very unfavorable; but a few days before his'srrest for the offence of which lie had been committed, he waa tried for a more aggravated one, that of burglary, and pronounced by the jury not guilty. 44 Not fMy, mind," said the Judge, lie-cause there is a wide difference between de claring a man not guilty and declaring him innocent; the former means nothing more than that tli evidence in a case is net sufficient to find the prisoner guilty, and such a verdict may be returned though the jury are at the same time morally certain of his guilt." He was sentenced to two years in tho penitentiary, the maximum punishment which the law prescribes for the offrnce. Edward McCauley, an ignorant, idiotic looking fellow, who had pleaded guilty to the charge ef larceny, and stealing or inveigling away a slave, was next called. In reply to the question, hnd he any thing to say he answered that he bad; that lie perpetrated the crimes of which he stood accused to save his life insinuating that he was made the tool of more kuowing sharpers, who intimidated hitu into a commission of the acts.

The Judge made some apposite remarks relative to the jealousy with which the crime of slave stesling is regarded by this community but taking into account the apparent ignorance of the prisoner, he sentenced bim to one yenr in the penitentiary for the larceny, and to two years only for stealing the slave. Cyrus Adams, found guilty of passing forged money, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in the penitentiary. Francisco Fonieca, convicted of an attempt to commit an assault on a girl, waa sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary, and to find security for future good behavior iu the sum of $500. Jose Suarez, for stabbing with intent to kill. was sentenced to three year's imprisontueut in the jienitentiary at hard labor.

The Philadelphia Ledger states that since the second arrest of Dr. Dyott he has executed a deed of assignment of all hi estate, real and personal, to leaac William Barnes, John Coffry, William Saowden and Edward Ward, in trust for the benefit of his creditors, taking; precedence as follows, lo wit first, to pay the depositors in his Manuel Labor Bank, if sufficient, and if not share and aha re alike to each second, after paying the depositors, then to pay all the other creditor of the said Dyott, if there be the necessary amount of property, and if not, then rateably and equally to each. And if there be a balance after the payment of all these, then to pay the as me over to Dr. Dyott, bia heirs or assigns.

An inquest was held yesterday by Coroner Cruzat on the body of Daniel Leonard, found dead at the corner of Market and Paca-nier streets, in this Municipality. From the testiinouy of Dr. Kerr it appeared that the deceased had taken two ounces of laudanum, and other evidence showed that domestic difficulties led bim to commit the raaU act.

The source and course of his misfortunes sre briefly told. He married the union proved an unhappy one a separation ensued he resorted to intemperance as sn oblivious antidote for his misfoi tunes; was arrested by the police, put into the calaboose, and branded as a vsgaboitd. Au accumulation of evils finally prompted him to act as his own executioner. A memorandum found on him which he had written after taking the fatal drug. In it be told that he had doue the deed accounted for the cause of it blamed his wife for having deserted bim, but avowed that ho forgave her, and would love her to the last moment of his life.

JUUKK ABOUT THE RESIDENT. AS CVerV a a i i tmng waring upon ins iute oi in is vessel is read with avidity, we publish the latest rumors from the New York Herald of the 13th.

It is the reneral opinion now that the wreck. seen by Captain Bowman, of the Recovery, was that of the President. We are of that opinion, and the more so since we have con versed with Captain Ramgerard of the barque Paoli, who arrived here on the 25ih ult. from Antwerp. At first there was a possibility that ne resident bad been lost in the ice on the Banks, but we do not believe that such was the case.

We make up our minds on this the President was not lost in the ke. When Cuptain Kainrerard passed over the banks, the steamer bad been absent one month and one day: and. nrcKrc, uau pienty oi tune, even v.tie was disabled in the gale of the 13th and 14 March, to have rone clear to the eastward, the wind having blown almost continually from the westward, and so strong, that our packets were driven over in fifteen days. We think that she encountered no ice. whatever; for we cannot believe that Captain Roberts would have gone so far out of his way as to takn a- passage north of lat.

45, and there was no ice to that degree for one mouth after left this harbor. The large islands seen by Captains Bailey, lloskins and Briton, on the 17th and 18th nit. came down between the 13th and those days. It is, therefore, conclusive the steamer is safe, if she did not founder in the gale we bave mentioned. This is the opiirion of Captain Raiorerard, who is an experienced navigator, and has creased the Atlantic twenty tunes in our Havre packet ships.

Further Jlryoris. We learn that Captaiu Pierce, who arrived in this city yesterday from Boston, reports that as he left that city on Tuesday afternoon, a pilot arrived up from below with information that the steam ship President was safe at Barbadoes. The pilot said a vessel had jnst arrived off the port wrth the intelligence. We think ibis rather an improbable story first, because Captain Litcb, of the this port, from the river Gambia, via Barbadoes, whence she sailed on tlie 17th nlu, made no mention of her. Second, because Capt.

Pierce did not give publicitr to the intelligence immediately on bis arrival here; and thirdly, becanse it seldom happens that a pilot comes upwitboni bringing the vessel with hint. To-day's maiJuhowever, will tell. it fcOMMUMIClTED. r' THE NEW DRY DOCK. Messrs.

As the summer proceeds the business on the Levee becomes every week duller, and since our last, the transactions in Western produce bave been quite unimportant.

The news from England, biougbt by the Britt.inia; sccbik to have beeu viewed in a favorablo light as regards the general apecl of things on the other side, and the satisfactory position of the money market, coupled with the scttlcmeHt of the China question, aud the flattering prospect for the harvest, have contributed to strengthen confidence in the article of cotton iu thi market. It must be -observed, however, that trade iu the manufacturing districts contiuued in a very depressed state, and owing to this, the consumption of the raw maWial has fallen off nearly 4000 per month, with several failures in commercial douce to a large amount. COTTON. A better demand than hnd beeu experienced fur some daya previous was eviuced at the opening of the market thia week. OuModuy we were placed in possession of accouuts from Liverpool to the 20th per Britannia.

The principal feature iu the intelligence, the settlement of the Chiuese question, and consclucllt resumption of trade between that country and British India, by which, it is presumed, a larire amount of Eait ludia CoUou will be diverted front the English markets. A vary animated demand immediately sprung up in our market on receipt of this intelligence, and an advauce of fully 1 per lb. haa beeu obtained on the Kales of the lart threo days. The largo transactions of the week have very much reduced the stock ou baud, which consists chiefly of Teuuesee and North Alabama Cottons. Good Cottons are very scarce, and the prices obtained for tli cm are comparatively much higher than the ordiuury and middling qualities.

The market remains in the same state noticed iu eur last report, holders continuing very firm, while purchasers tersist iu their determination of keeping nut of the market at present rates; prices, consequently are altogether nominal.
