EVENING STAR: < “TocAL INTELLIGENCE. Respect ro tax Memory or Jupex Cranca. At a meeting of the members of the bar and the officers of the courts, held this arr the coart room, on motion of Richard Si e, Esq., John Marbury, ., Was called to the chair, and — Smith, -» (clerk to the coart,) appointed secretary. Mr. Coxe said that they had assembled, in consequence of an event, which, though long anti ae. had struck them with surprise. They had met to commemorate the life, vir- tues, and character of our deceased brother, Jules Cranch. He died at about the age of eighty six years, after having lived thus long as an individual, and having presided a long- er period of time than he ied over heatd of, on the bench—in a judicial ee man 8 He was appointed a Judge of the Circuit Court in h, 1801, fifty-four years since, and has now left us. His place is to be su he might say a long time must elapse his place ean be supplied with so much ability and acceptance. Judge Cranch was a native of Massachu- chusetts, and came to this city, he believed, in the year 1795 or 1796; and at onee e: in & great deal of active business, while he was ever = an talents. Having been ap) , in 1801, the junior ju of the cir- yoy he was cslscquacm asta to the position of chief justice of that court, and was likewise the judge of the district court, All who knew him in the course of their prac- tice im the courts, knew how well and admira- bly he fulfilled all of the daties with which he was entrusted. Few judges ever excelled him; few ever equalled him in all the essentials which go to constitute the character of a great jadge "He was eminent for learning in all the departments of law—admiralty, chancery, crimival, common law. He was thoroughly imbued with the learning of the profession from the earliest ba With regard to his personal character, no imputation ever rested oe it, for his integ- rity was never imp . His faithfulness, his impartiality, his urbanity of manner toward those who practiced in the courts over which he wee 3 his ——— industry in prepar+ ing and pronouncing ju nt after argument ‘had been closed—ig atl ese he stood pre-em- inent; and although we have known judges possessing a larger extent of inquiry, he pos- sessed that necessary degree of inquiry which qualified him most admirably for the duties whieh devolved upon him. We have met with a at loss; but, thank God’ he has left a bright example. We trust that every ng man, while he reverences, will follow him—imitate Judge Cranch in in- dustry, and endeavor to equal him in learn- ing; be pure of heart as he was pure, honor- able as he was honorable, so as to leave as pure and eminent a charaster for the admiration of his countrymen. _ With these views thus. thrown out, and sat- itGed that he should have the hearty acqui- quiescence of the gentlzmen present, a com- mittee was appointed, on his (Mr. Coxe’s) motion to draft appropriate resolutions, and te express the sense of the bar and the ofiicers of the court relative to the sad event. The foilowing named gentlemen were ap- pointed by the Chair to constitute the com- Bittee : “Messrs. R. 8, Coxe, Reddin, J. H. Bradley, Carlisle and Ennis. The committee retired, and, after about an hour’s absence, returned, reporting, through Mr. Coxe, a series of resolutions, setting forth the eminent virtues of the deceased, and re ferring to his official character in terms of eulogy. Ove of them, in manifestation of the high respect entertained fur the late Judge Crazch, proposes that the members of the bar ard the officers of the court, wear the usual badze of mourning for thirty days. and, as a body, attend his funeral—which will take zee to-morrow afternoon, at four o’clock, rom his receat residence on Capitol Hill: and ancther resolution suggests that, with the con- eucrence of the family, a substantial and ap- prupriate monument - erected over the grave of the deceased, and that a committee be ap- pointed to carry the design into effect. Mr. Carlisle seconded the resolutiong, and in doing so delivered a brief but eloquent eu- logy, saying. in conclusion, that, for more than haif acentury, Judge Cranch took his place on the “‘ judgment seat”’ ‘‘ void of offence to- ward God and man.”’ We are reluctantly compelled to abbreviate the proceedings, in order to preserve an oute line of them in to-day’s Star. Viserese Mizitart.—The announcement of the contemplated visit to this city, on the 12th instant, of the Fifty-third regiment of the Bal- timore (M: mind a similar visit made on that day nine- teen years ago. At that time the cit: Washington found itself in the same condition that Louisville was at its late election on the first of the past month, namely: without a single volunteer militia company, to be called upon either for the public protection or to act mber of companies had , but, after an existence as an escort.

E. C. Carrington was clected and acted as captain for a brief period, and on his resignation, James ¥. Davis was elected to the command. It is unnecessary to say anything in especial commendation of the infantry, further than that it was the nucleus around which has ral. a gallant regiment. Taz Late Erx Hest —We have recently learne Weducsday night and Thursday last which will be read with no little interest. Thus, it said that the animal, which alive was full fourtcen hands high, and weighed 500 pounds, been missin, Owner (Clark Mille Talburt as we on Friday last, started the game at about 3 a. m. They were first heard in chase near the lower bwidge on the Maryland side, from wheace they ran to the neighborhood of the Asylum, where the chase doubled and ran bask through the farms of Mr. Talburt, Mrs. Woodruff and the Union Land Association ; ane then taking up the old Bladensburg road on the east side of the Fastern Branch until bear Seagg’s camp ground, it made down from thence for the water at the upper bridge, where there were a company of persons about to start up the marsh ortujan shooting. They joined in the chase, and the animal took to the water some distance up, landing in safety, and the dogs pursuing him no further. The orto lan shooters, however, pursued him in their skis, and coming within range of him on the edge of the marsh on Jeffer’s land, shot him with repeated wounds. The game was, of course, sold in,the city, as the huntemen were professional men in that line. We can say of it that we never eat finer venison than ii af- forded upon the tables at Willard’s and the Kirkwood House. Sr. Axprew’s Soc: Z i ty or Wasnixetox.— The following gentlemen have been elected officers of thi society, which has recently been orgenized : Gilbert Cameron, president ; Willis Ballantyne and John Smith, vice ee Frederick D.

We were shown a letter on Satur- day last from a gentleman in Hanover, who de- clares that after six years’ intense suffering with Dyspepsia and nervous headache, during which time he used, with little or no effect, a it va- riety of medicines recommended by others, he has been perfectly cured of both annoyances tae the use of four bottles of Baxer’s Premium Bitters. With such unquestionable endorsements, we think that those who are afflicted, and yet fail to try this remedy, deserve to suffer. Capt. Baker is one of our most reliable citizens, and we feel perfectly satisfied that under no circumstances would he recommend the use of his Bitters where he did not think that good would result from so doing: For cholera morbus and such like complaints we know these bitters are excellent, having had oe Oa oceasions to try them.—Richmond Morning Mail. 50 cents per bottie.

Conumara Fine Company.—It was to be ex pected that the members of this association would Ves to the munificent lady.

On Saturday evening this expecta- tion was fulfilled ina manner alike worthy of themselves and their patroness. The welcome home was - Sracegul as it was cordial. In the tasteful and beautiful illumination, which made their hall, on Capitol Hill, a blaze of light, and the exquisite music, more eloquent than any form of words, they paid @ merited compliment to the lady, and illustrated by their example, in the mode of its manifesta. tion, and in the feelings which prompted it, how true it is ‘that grateful minds by owin; owe not, but still pay at once indebted discharged.” — Stxeviar Case.—On Friday last a case was laid before Justice Bates which attracted the attention of a large number of persons. It ap- peared that some time since a oolored marricd woman, the mother of a small boy, was taken up as a lunatic and confined in jail.
