The act is to g> into effect from and after the first day of November next. All such parts of former laws as may be repugnant to this are repealed Covrt or Cuarmms.—On Saturday, Mr. Ja- cob Barker, of Louisiana, appeared, was sworn an attorney of this court, and filed a petiticn im the case of Richard R Ward and others, his assignees, whoclaim the difference between lawful money and the depreciated paper cur- reney received under the loan of 1514, on $3,446,103. The court delivered an opinion, that the ease of David Myerle (No. 1 on the law dock- et) is within the jurisdiction of thiscourt, and authorized testimeny to be taken. Thi’ case was submitted by argument on last Thursday morniag. Itisa claim arising from an al- leged nou-fulfillment of a contract by govern- ment with the claimant for furnishing water- rotted hemp. j Case No. 25 on the law docket, being called, Mr. Stanton appeared for the claimant. It iz thecase of Wm W. Cox, who claims compene Bation for extra services while head messenger of the Post Ufice Department. Mr. Stanton stated the case, and read let- ters from Mr. Whittlesey, Comptroller of the Treasury; and Mr. Phillips, Sixth Auditor of the Post Uffice Department. The Solicitor followed, and at the conclusion of bis remarks Mr. Stanton submitted the case for the decision of the court as to whether it is within its jurisiiction. A number of cases being called, which were not ready for argument, the court set apart Monday (to-day) for hearing arguments in the case of John C. Hale, (No. 48,) Asbury Dickins, (No. 40,) Michael Nourse, (No. 41.) and John Rob, (No. 41;) after which the court adjourned. Gas Accipext.—The accident occurring to the gas meters this morning in the eity, was oceasioned by the letting in of gas from the old to the new gazometer We have made in- uiry at the office of the Company, and find that the pressure of the = in passing from the old to the new gas holder forced the water collected in the street main by condensation into the drips, sealing them, and thus pre venting the flow to the large gasometer and forcing the water out of the meters. All gas works are liable, more or less, to these casua!- ties, and we learn the Directors of this Com- pany have secured the services of a first rate enginesr, who will enter on his duties in a few days, and all cause for complaint will be speedily removed. F We also hear that the price of gas is to be reduced. The employees of the Ney! eae are all ac- tively at work in refilling the meters with water, and no difficulty is anticipated after to- night. Oapuaxs’ Covrt.—Last week the will of the late Chief Justice Cranch was proved in this court befere Jadge Pureell. His son, Wilson Greenleaf Cranch, gave seeurity as exeeutor of the estate. On Saturday, Mrs. Bodisco and her brother, Brooke Williams, entered bond in $100,000, the one as executrix, the other as administra- tor, of the will of Count Bodiseo, the late Rus- sian Minister, so far as relates to his personal estate. Judge Purcell decided that the will, only bearing his signature, and not having been witnessed according to the etatute, is not sufficient to pass the real estate, which, how- ever, goes by descent to the widow and chil- dren. Ali-the property of the leceased Min- ister, in this country, is supposed to amount to Tas Pictures ay» tue Firewen '—Satur- day night was a great time at Odd Fellows Hall. Four elegant colored pictures, repre- senting scenes in the lif: of firemen, were of- fered, at Wyman’s exhibition, as a prize tothe fire company selling the largest number of tickets ‘br the oceasion There was a brisk competition among that useful class of ourcit- inuns. The Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Company bought four hundred and sixty- eight, and the Northern Liberties seven hun- dred and six. hase taey , the prizes were handed over to Mr. S. P. Robertson, the Pres- * ident cf the last named company. Cheer fil- lowed eheer in token of triumph. Tur Batts.—The balls of the Perseverance Pire Company and the Red, White and Blue Ordnance Club, to-ni,-ht, are both destined to be crowded, or the signs are very deceptive up to the hour at which we go to press. The young men of the city are agog about thea, and they wil! take due care that bum- ber of belles, who, nothing loth, usually grace such entertainments, shall be present. Two of the best eotiilon bands of the city are en- gaged, and the floor managers of both are ex- perienced, active, attentive, and courteous. Prorssson Aunexp.—This distinguisbed performer on the violincello arrived in this city yesterday ‘bey who were present at the excellent concert of classic music, given by M'lle de Boye last spring, will recollect how captivated the auditory were with his master- ly executions on that instrument. At the ur- gent request of numerous friends, we learn that he, assisted by M’lle de Boye, will proba- bly give a similar concert in the course of the resent week. ic MARRIED, OQ» thie 18th instant, by the Rev.

Miitary Paravgs.—The regiment of the District of Columbia is to-day on parade, ac- companied by full bands of music. Although the ‘‘turn out’’ is not as large as on former occasions, yet the display is beautiful, and the drill exsellent. The regiment is commanded by Col. Hickey, assisted by his efficient staff officers. — TemperaNce Msetinc.—A public meeting, under the auspices of the Freeman’s Vigilance Total Abstinence Society was held yesterday afternoon, in the saloon of Temperance Hall. Finding that but little or no good can be ac- complished by coercive laws, the object of the members, so far as we can learn, is to resort to and persevere in the principle of ‘moral sua- tion;”” avoiding personal abuse and conduct- ing all their proceedings with due courtesy. Rerresutxe.—We are indebted to -Mr. Adams, whose well-known restaurant is on the Avenue, by sce the Star office, for a boun- tiful supply of capital fried oysters, with every desirable garnishing —enough for a platoon of y ANDER DUEHAY ‘to Miss PAULINE HAR- LEY, both of this city.
