Judge Gilchrist delivered the opinion of the court in the case of G. A. Magruder, eom- mander in the United States Navy, deciding to take testimony. This is a claim against government for the pay of a captain while the claimant served as a lieutenant on board the frigate Columbia, Commodore George C. Read, from the 18th of April, 1838, to the 28th of June, 1846. The case of J. Alexis Port, of the city of Mexico, vs. the United States, was called by the court. The claimant declares himself to be a French citizen, and asks from govern- ment cempensation for the loss of a quantity of tobacco which was captured by the United States army, at Puebla, in September, 1847, and which was ordered to be sold by Colonel Childs, who was then civil and military gover- nor of thateity. The tobacco was purchased by Mr. Port, and resold by him atan advanced price, the title having been warranted. The sale was afterwards set aside, and the tobacco was taken from the possession of the purchaser, who derived his title through Port and restored to its origi Port received back the amount first paid by him for the tobacco, and now claims remuneration for the damages which he sustained by the annulling of the ANTED—A FIRST RATE PLAIN COUK.

The lecture of Mr. Joseph S. Wilson, of the General Land Office, on ‘‘ Jerusalem,’”’ was one of the marked features of the evening. All present appeared to be delighted with it, and in connection with the fact that it was entirely extemporary—that the speaker had searcely any previous notice to prepare his — it was admitted to be an effort indi- cating the highest order of talent. The grace- ful manner in which the main subjest was introduced by the allusions made to Rome and Athens and in the incipient history of the Christian religion as compared with the glim- and uncertain lights of ancient philo- sophy, seemed to give universal satisfaction, . andenabled the orator to array an interest around the sacred city and its temples, 4c , which appeared to sink deep into the hearts of his Christian auditors to be remembered Tr. ‘The ceremonies were enlivened by the music of Mr, Fleets’ Band, and the handsome tables filled with refreshments and ornamental and useful articles exposed to sale, served by the bright-eyed ladies behind them. were really beautiful as well as comfortable. The entertainment, we understand, con- tinues all this week. This evening a lecture is to be delivered by the Rev. @. W. Sampson, on the “‘ Land of Goshen,” of which that gen- tleman is enabled to speak as an eye-witness, having so recently travelied there. _———: Tae Buack Swax, whose notes are said to be above par, will sing to-night.
