Tux Statve on Terza Firma.—The great bex, containing the Equestrian Statue of Wash- ington, has been safely removed from the deck of the Walborg and landed upon the wharf at Rich- mond Paizs Fieut.—a prize fight between Cobern and Gibson came off on Wednesday in Canada. The combatants fought twenty-one rounds in thirty minutes, when Cobern was declared win- ner of the stakes, amounting to $1,000. Canat Boaxn Aproixtments —The following appointments have been made by the Canal Board ot Pennsylvania, viz :—Supervisors of the Dela- ware division, Wm. Overfield, Jr.; of the Sus- quehanna division, Wm. Elliott; of the Lower North Branch, Geo. W. Search; of the West Branch, R. R. Bridgeves. Hanp Timzs ano Rexicious PexiopicaLs —A Boston correspondent of the New York Christian Advocate says, that owing to the pressure of the times the Universalist Quarterly will be discon- tinued probably, and that the success of the Pu- Titan Review, for the starting of which prelimi- Dary measures were zdopted by Calvanists og Boston aud vicinity, is more than doubtful. i" The New York Book Publishers’ Associ- ation have unanimonsly adopied resolutions to the effect that they will sell after January Ist, 1858, on not longer than four mouths credit, requiring notes with current exchange on the city in which they respectively do business; also that they will hereafter requize the settlement of all trade ac- counts quarterly, balance under one hundred dol- jars payable in cash, and over that amount by note at three months with current exchange. Sanator Scmyex.—Senator Sumner, who re- turned bome in the Niagara, was received on landing at Boston, by Hon. Henry Wilson, N. P Banks, Governor elect, and a large concourse of citizens, who escorted him to his house, where Mr. Somner and Mr. Wilson made brief address- es. Mr. Sumner has been sick throughout the Voyage, but his general health is much improved He will take his seat in the Senate on the reas- sembling of Congress. Great Destavctiox os Satt.—The Ononda- gua Lake is now some eighteen inches higher than last June, and in consequence thereof seve- ral thousand bushels of salt are already lost, and @ vast quantity more Ia immediate danger of dis- solving. All salt blocks at Liverpool and Salina below the locks are in water from séven inches to two feet, and the water constantly rising. The oldest inhabitant never witnessed such a flood thereabout. iL The Commissioner of Patents has decided that a newly-invented policemen’s club, which might be turned into a sheaf of lancets and club- bed with fearful effect, thus becoming a ‘‘minia- tare infernal machine,’ was not patentable. He admits its novelty, but maintains that, however useful to policemen who may be “induced to de- file themse.ves’? with it, it would be likely to get inte other hands, and become a most perni- cious invention to the community. It cannot, therefore, bo considered ‘“‘useful’? within the meaning of the Patent law. BS se Pe ee i In New York, between three and four o’clock Thursday morning a most brutal outrage ‘was committed on the person of a young woman pamed Rosa Martin, by a number of rowdies in the upper part of the city. Rosa Martin, accom- pacied by another young girl named Ann Halpin, bad been to a dance, or “ check apron ball,” at the coruer of Thirty-seventh street and Broad- way, and were returning home about 3 o'clock. The two girls had net proceeded far before they discovered that they were followed by five men, named Jobn Goodwin, John McLear, Hick Mc- Sorley, Patrick Nolan, and Patriek Deviin. As the two girls were passing a dark Place on Ninth avenue, Deviin and MeLear suddenly approached them and commenced a furious attack pon Ann Halpin, beating her severely and driving her away from her companion. The brutes then seized Rosa and dragged her into a lumber yard, where they outraged her in the most brutal man- ner. The poor girl was found in a prostrate con- dition bya policeman in the morning, and con- veyed to the station house, where, after receiving medical assistance, she stated the circumstances and gave the names of the perpetrators of the out- Tage.

Ould and Cross : “ Not” —The undersigned, commissioners @p- Pointed by virtue of ‘An act to improve the ne of the District of Columbia, and to codi A same,’’ approved March 3, 1856, herewith s' it the result of their labors. The framer of that act was the Hon. Henry May, formerly a citizen of this District, who, from an extensive practice ta our courts, was made fully aware of the evils from which it was intended by that law to relieve us. The people of this District will, ina great degree, be indebted to the exertions of that gen- tleman for any benefits which may result to them from this Code. ‘The commissioners were required ‘ to revise, simplify, digest, and codify the laws of said Dis- triet, aud also the rules and Principles of prac- tice, of pleadings, of and conveyan- cing.” The Code itself is the best commentary on the manner in which that duty has been dis- charged. The laws which it was made their duty ‘to revise and simplify,” consisted, in the language of the Maryland declaration of rights, of such of the Enzlish statutes as existed at the time of the first emigration to Maryland, and * which by experience bave been found applica- ble to local and other circumstances, of such others as have been since made in England or Great Britain, and have been introduced, used, and practised by the courts of law and equity;” also of the declaration of rights, constitution, and pe horn acapella eli statutes of Mary! passed prior to the 27¢ fical| of February, 19) modifi by the conptitution ee ts Ont oe win Rotman epee 2 A he vided for, such fees as are allo to constables for similar services, subject to the regulation of the Circuit Court. FEES OF NOTARIES. Sec. 13. The fees of notaries public shall be as follows : For each certificate and seal, fifty cents. Taking depositions or other writing, for each one hundred words, ten cents. Administering an oath, five cents. Taking acknowledgment of a deed or power of attorney, with certificate thereof, twenty-five cents. Every protest of a bill of exchange or promis- sory note, and recording the same, one dollar. Each notice of protest, twenty cents. and laws of the United States. Our statute law thus flowing from three dis- tinct sources, is almost uecessarily inconsistent in many of its parts. Much of it is also obsolete. Much of it is distigured by the prejudices of a tage. In many cases, the cirsumstances that called forth the statute have since passed away, or been material!y changed. But perhaps the best founded complaint of all is the entire ab- sence of any statutory provisions in relation to matters which, in the progress of time and de- velopment of society, have been made the sub- jects of legislation in almost every other civilized community. Deeply impressed with these views, the com- missioners have endeavored, in the preparation of this Code, to giVe to the people of this District the benefit of provisions which, in many cases, have even been adopted by those from whom we have derived our present system. In no instance where there has been a departure from former law has any principle or provision been intro- duced which has not the sanction of modern, and, as we believe, enlightened leyislation. The lawof March 3. 1835, required that this Code should be approved by a majority of the board appointed to consider the same. The members of that board have certified to the Pres- ident of the United States that they have consid- ered the provisions thereof, and do unanimously approve the same. In farther pursuance of said law, itis now submitted to the people of this District for their sopelderatios Ovxp, Wo. B. B. Cross. Wasuincton City, Nov., 18 We perceive that the codifiders, instead of following the old form of framing statutes, have, by a preliminary rule of construction, shortened and simplified the various sections. Instead of inserting in each section the words “‘he,”’ “she’’ or ‘they,’’ or the words “ per- son”? or “ persons,”’ they have wisely adopted ageneralrule, which applies to the entire Code, as follows: “Every wo:d importing the singular num- ber only, may extend and applied to several Persons or things, as well as to one person of thing ; and every word importing the plural num- ber only, may be applied to one person or thing as wellas to several persons and things; anda word importing the masculine gender only ma: extend aud be applied to females; and the wor ‘ person’ may extend and be applied to bodies pelitic and corporate as well as to individuais.’* In the arrangement of the Code, we observe that when a subject is once treated of every thing relating to that subject, as far as possible, is then and there putdown. Thus, forinstance, the Second Title, between pages thirty-seven and forty-four, relates to oftices, and, accord- ingly, every thing appertaining to appoint- ments to office, to vacancies in office, and to oaths of officers and official bends, is there treated of. The Fourth Title relates to officers and their fees. The duties and responsibilities of, and remedies against various officers are therein set forth in detail. Under our present system the Clerk of the Cireuit Court is Recorder of Deeds and Clerk of the Criminal Court—under the Code this arrangement is changed. Sepa- rate persons are to occupy tho positions of Clerk of the Cirouit Court, Clerk of the Crimi- nal Court, and Recorder of Deeds. The latter ig to be appointed by the President, for four years, and the two former by the Judges of the respective Courts, during pleasure. It is be- lieved that the fees that are specifically set forth in this title as compensation, will amply remunerate the different persons who may hold these’ offices. The same or a lower rate else- where, where there is not more business trans- acted than in the Courts of this District, has been found to be aful! remuneration. A very considerable reduction has been made in the fees of the various officers. Under the table of fees as provided by the Code, the fees of the Clerk of the Cireuit Court in an uncontested case will not amount to two dollars; under the present system we understand they are nearly five dollars. This difference results principally from a provision in the Code which dispenses with the necessity of recording a judgment which has been obtained, and for which the Cierk has been aliowed three dollars and sev- enty-five cents—in an uncontested case the en- tire fees, independent of the attorney’s, will not amount to anything like as much as the solitary item before referred to. We find the following provisions as to fees of jurors and witnesses : FEES OF JURORS. Sec. 11. The feex of jurors shall be as follows: Every joror shall receive in the Cirenit or Crimsiual Court, to be paid out of the United States treasury, two dollars per day. Every grand juror shall receive for his services as such, to be paid out of the United States treas- ury, two dollars for each day’s attendance. Every juror for pitending = trial before a justice of the peace shall receive fifty cents for each day of bis atteadance, to be paid in the first instance by the party directing the venire, and to be taxed with the costs of the action. Every juror sworn upon a coroner’s inquest shalf receive two dollars per day for his attend- ance, Every juror sworn before the marshal or other officer, in pursuance of law, shall receive two doliars per day for his attendance, to be taxed with the costs of the action or proceeding. ‘Talesmen shall receive the same amount per day as jurors, to be paid in like manner. FEES OF WITNESsKS 7 Sec. 12. The fees of witnesses shall be as fol- ows: For each day’s attendance in the Circuit, Crim- inal, or Orphans’ Court, one dollar and fifty cents for each witness. For each day's attendance before a justice of the peace, thirty-five cents for each witness. For each day’s attendance before arbitrat referees, marshal, coroner, or other officer, one dollar for each witness. Witnesses residing outside the District of Co- lumbia shal) be allowed five cents per mile for traveling from their place of residence to this District, and five cents per mile for returning, Witnesses shall claim their fees on the day of trial, beforemny justice of the peace. The fees of justices, constables and notaries will be found by reference to pages 69, 70, 71, and 72—and are as follows: FEES OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. Sec.9. The fees of the Justices of the Peace shall be ax fullows: For issuing any writ, summons, warrant or process other than asubpena, and entering the re- turn thereof, twenty-five cents. For issuing subpoena, including all persons applied for xt the same time, fifteen cents. Enteri action on docket, ig ome, seis Cc an for record, when requ! - net Sl ad red words, ten pout i , Entering adjournment or other order, five cents. Entering satisfaction of record, ten cents. Receiving and entering a verdict, ten cents. Rendering and entering every final judgment, fifteen ceats. Em; and swearing a jury, fifteen cents. Admin each oath, five cents. Making tp ‘ket, for every hundred words, cents, Taking bail for stay of execution, ten cents. ‘Taking an atfidavit, ten cents. Making and certitying transcripts in cases of appeal, twenty-five cents. king an acknowledgment of a deed or of attorney, with a certificate thereof, twenty-five cents. 2 bond or nizanee, twenty cents. admgfenjon Of lunatie into the Tae Detta ox Governvent InrerreR- ENcE.—The New Orleans Delta is exceedingly indignant that the Government should have troubled itself with the affairs of the fillibuster Walker, saying : “This Federal Government of ours, under the auspices of late Administrations, has been ainbi- tious, it would seem, to discharge the fanctions of a police ofticerand detective for the world at large. It isa great bully at home, this Federal Government of ours. It bullies from the parlor to the kitchen, and there is no private recess, no nook or corner, no sunny or shady lace about the premises, into which it don’t insist oo thrusting its intrusive and inquisitive nose. Then when that nose takes an extra pinch of snuff, woe to the subordinate a gti and bailifis if they don’t ail snernutate in chorus; and if that nose should chance to smell, or imagine it sriells, down any dirty blind alley whatever, a lurking conspiracy onthe part of sundry citizens or in- habitants to emigrate to foreiga territory contra- ty to the wishes or interests of any foreign gov- ernment, king, potentate, prince or despot, woe also to the said subordinate functionaries if they don’t plunge into that alley to break up the plot and arrest the plotters.”’ We quote the above specimen of the De/ta’s higbfallutin, only by way of illustrating the fili- buster’s idea of the duty of the Genoral Govern- ment in the matter of the execution of the law where that may interfere with the disposition of the lawless to despoi!. Our impression is, that by the time the Delta andits New Orleans confreres realize that their council at this point have been utterly unable to prevent the Gov- ernment from securing the Nicaragua route for the benefit of the nation’s intercourse with the Pacific side—undertaken becatise the ac- knowledgment of the Government of Nicaragua and a guarantee of the transit route must to- gether ultimately defeat Walker's schemes on Nicaragua—they will see “bigger snakes’’ in the action of the Federal authorities than were dancing before the Je/ta’s eyes when it gave utterance to the unmitigated nonsense quoted above. By the by, in the same issue the Delta earn- estly urges the appointment of the present American consul at Vera Cruz, Mr. J T. Pick- ett, as U.S. minister resident at Guatemala. If that gentleman happens_to be a candidate for the position, he may well exclaim, ‘‘save me from my friends.’’ Tue Fivisusters.—As journ: adistance are intimating that the Administration are se- cretly affiliated with the designs of Walker, the filibuster—which story, by the by, evidently originates with partics interested in his specu- lation—we may not inappropriately say that every atom of the power of the Government ap- plicable to his arrest, is now earnestly in oper- ation to that end. The Star’s readers know well that when it vouches for a fact concerning the action of the Government, its statements have invariably proved true. They will there- fore comprehend that implicit reliance may be placed on this, our declaration. The neutrality law ot the United States is not worth a pinch of snuff in regions where popular opinion and sympathy may be against its enforcement. That all know, who know aught of the history of the country for the last quarter of aeentury. All the orders from this peint that have been or could be issued, have been so much paper and ink thrown away in such localities; and their repetition will be of no avail until the law may be changed. On the ocean, however, the General Govern- ment has power, which in this case is being ex- erted to its utmost limit. Three Government (war) steamers are cruising to intercept the filibusters, and other United States war vessels besides. Here, it is believed that the chances are all in favor of intercepting the filibusters, who, if thus brought back to the Uuited States, will be prosecuted, wherever brought into port, with all the rigor the Government can com- mand. Monetary Arrairs.—Priyate letters from leading financial sources in England, reccived by the last arrival, predict very favorable monetary accounts from that quarter, by the Persia, the next regular steam packet to arrive on this side. On her last trip she brought to New York a million in specie—a very unusual shipment in this direction—sent by English houses really to sustain their own credit on this side. Qn her return she carried over quite $600,000 in specie due there, not a dollar of which was expected in financial circles on the other side, owing to the condition of things un- derstood to be existing here. Its shipment went far, indeed, to re-establish confidence there in the belief that the storm here fs to be of short duration. The letters to which we re- fer above were the result of that prevalent im- pression. It is now very certain that the next expected monetary news from England will leave little excuse left for the failure of the New York banks to resume, with at least twen- ty-two millions of specie in their vaulte—a larger sum than they ever had in them before, at any one time. Comarnation Concert No. 2, AND THE LAST. We have before expressed our opinion warmly in regard to the princely munificence displayed by the managers of the Thalberg-Strakosch Concerts, who, not content with furnishing thé ordinary concert-room dispensation of single artist of renown, provide, on a single night, such a constellation of musical stars as Frezzo- loni, Thalberg, Vieuxtemps, Madame Stra- kosch, and (on this evening) Herr Kletzec! Such an affluence of talent, we are certain, has never been brought together before in Wash- ington, and we are glad to see that our people warmly appreciate the liberality of the man- agement who furnished it. 4 i As this is the last Concert of the -tronpe-in- this city, we shall’ be very much surprised if every seat is not taken long before night. Navan Covers or Ixquiny.—Before Court No. 1, to-day, the cage of ex-Lt. ‘Thos.

Before Court No. 2, the case of Commander Gedney (farloughed) was resumed, and Dr. Raschéitberger testified'on behalf of the Gor- ernment. Before Court No. 3, Commodore Stewart was examined in behalf of ex-Capt. Levy. Musican Panry.—The recently enlarged and spacious apartments at the British Legation were filled last evening by a distinguished and select circle of guests, invited by Lord and Lady Napier to meet Sir William Gore Ousely. They were entertained by choice selections of music by Frezzolini, Patti Strakosch, and Thalberg, followed by a choice supper.

Three persons were slashed and hacked with Knives at a low den in Water street yesterday morning, one died immediately, and the other twe are scarcely alive. A man int’ Bowery was stabbed by ruftians while defending his own premises. The young man shot a few days since in Canal street, died at the hospital yesterday morning. In the upper part of the city, three or four ruffians aiecata young girl into a lumber yard, imitated the mur- derous hounds who killed the poor old German woman in Greenwich street, and left their victim for dead. A woman stabbed by a burglar and a highway robbery complete the “‘ Bloody Record,” so far as New York city is concerned, for this da) only. In the now old and stale murder which took place in William street as long ago as Tues- day night, nothing new has been developed, ex- cept that a son of the victim ts held to bail upon some slight suspicion.” ° UNITARIAN CHURCH.—The Rev.
