A jurorasked if they wonld’nt agree whether Coach- nina would be allowed togohome. ‘The Judge said that if he wag dangerously ill in the night, he would discharge them on that account, but otherwise they could not be allowed to separate.

In March, 1835, he gave a note to Messrs. Suydam & Co. of this city, payable at the United States Branch Bank, Mobile, for $1,342, at 6 months, with the privilege of a further like credit, on substituting an accepiance at Mobile satisfactory to Suydam & Boyd’s agent. The acceptance was tendered, but the Bank did not tike the paper. The agent then tore the acceptance up. Mr. Gayle contends that the acceptance had been given to take up the note, according to agreement, and the holders of the lat- ter cannot recover. A verdict Wyse sien against him in the Superior Court, and confirmed in the Supreme, with costs, amounting, in all, to $2077 He now brings the case up on a writ of error.

Conger vs. Daniel Fraser—This was a motion to set aside the report of referees on anaction brought by plaintiff for medi- cal services rendered to detendant’s wife, for three years previous to 1837. It was averred that the plaintift had not shown that he was a member of the County. Medical Society. The evidence, or diploma, of his having been’ so, was lost. The question to be decided was, whether the plaintifi was bound toshow, or the defendant to disprove, the plaintiff ity for practising. The Court thought the latter. As to interest, Fe debtor ne- ts to pay his doctor's bill, interest is chargeable om the time it is readered.

The Court was crowded all day and over a hundred la- dies of all ages, and of all styles of beauty were there. Col Edwards was the most happy looking and unconcerned creature inthe whole room. Many distinguished lawyers and legislators were present; and one very, very lovely young girl sat at the right end of the bench, but took no part inthe delibera- tions except with her eyes. Mr. Winrine concluded his very able speech by half past 2. He spoke in all six hours. The Jury then went to dine at Barton’s—so did the prisoner, walking through the park as free as air—almost.— At four they all returned, when Judge Kent deli- yered his charge, which occupied one hour and forty- two mintes, and which was dead against the pri- soner. The jury then retired a few minutes, appa- parently disposed to disagree. 11 o’ctock.—The Court kept open till this hour. Judge Kent and the Aldermen went down into the tea-room, and there refreshed themselves for less than an hour. They have just sent to the jury to know if they had agreed, or were likely to agree. The jury sent word back that they had not agreed— they could not agree—and there was no possibility of their agreeing. The Court then adjourned to 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning, leaving word with the officers that if the jury should come to an agree- ment during the night, that the Court should be sent for. 12 o’crock.—The jury are still out. They have been out 6 hours, No agreement yet. Ong o’Crock.—The jury have not yet agreed, and one ortwo ef the fat men getting very sleepy. A good deal of angry discussion going on. Hany past one o’cLock.—Still no verdict; the jury who were tolerably noisy and argumentative about 7 and 8 o'clock, have now settled down into atolerable calm; still looking angry and black at each other. Two o’ciock.—No verdict. One of the jurors asked for a glass of water; two or three asleep and ‘snoring. lands in Texas, and slaves in Martinique, but not snoring. He’s too accomplished for that. No re- freshment allowed the jjury except a little tea and bread and butter tothe sick man, John C. Coach- mon. Officers kicking their heels against each other, and smoking a segar. Judge Kent’s Charge at full length and verbatim will be found on the outside of this day’s paper. An abortion, called the Charge, was published last night, and several other abortions will be published to-day ; but the only correct report of the Charge will be found in the Herald. New York Newsparers —LireraturE — Poui- ‘tics.—Parties in New York are beginning to make some stir already. The ‘ New Era,” speaking for the ultra democrats, has changed hands—and is now conducted by Mr. We-forget-his-name, who was the Secretary of the Tyler meeting held at Wash- ington Hall. It comes out for Mr. Bouck for Go- vernor, and Mayor Morris for Lieutenant. It is ultra locofoco, and supposed to be rather in favor of Van Buren for the next Presidency. Major Hop- kins of the Pewter Mug, who gives a generous asylum to Governor Dorr and that sword, has the financial control of the “ Era,” and Jared W. Bell, printer, manages the concern in his name. Levi D. Slamm, who has left the “ Era,” intends to start a two cent cash paper in the old office of the San, comer of Spruce and Nassau ; another person, with lots of money, will join him. They intend to publish a good newspaper—democratic in polities —but whether they will go for Van Buren, Cass, or Tyler, for next President, we know not. Judge Noah, George P. Mortis, N. P. Willis, and Fay as a foreign correspondent, with others that we have heard of, but who are of little account, are preparing to start a new cash two cent paper, to be printed by Moses Y. Beach of the Sun, who has now removed to a respectable neighborhood, oppo- site the Herald office in Fulton street. This concern intends to go for Captain Tyler first, and probably Henry Clay afterwards. This will be a very amus- ing concern. Moses, however, will take care of his end of the business—he will take his pay out of the proceeds each week—and the balance, after defray- ing all expenses, will be divided among Judge Noah and his compatriots. They expect to divide $58.67} each week to each editor. The Herald printing establishment, corner of Ful- ton and Nassau streets, is now in full blast—fully organized and‘equipped—and ready to enter into the field of literary publications. We understand that pre- parations are making to procure all the popular no- vels, magazines, and new works of every kind,from England,and publish the best of them in Extra Her- alds as often as received. These willbe circulated all over the country by the mails and by agents—and will produce an entire revolution in the publishing business. This establishment is also ready to be- gin the publication of the original American pe- riodical magazines, on the plan of the New York Lancer, which, in six months, has attained a circu- lation and popularity perfectly unprecedented. ‘Tue Great Centre or News anp Newsparrrs.— Tho removal of the Hrraip Estantisuaent to the large granite and brick building, at the northwest corner of Fulton and Nassau streets—which is only a few steps distant from Broadway, St. Paul's Church, or the Astor Houze—has set the world of editors and newspapers on a prodigious gui vive, ind almost turned them upside down. Every chap with half a soyjeon looking at our establishment, thinks he can create such another, and fancies that he has more talent and industry than we have ex- pended on it. N’zmporte. This corner is now the great centre of news in New York. All the other cash papers are moving and preparing to move to- wards the same centre. There is more room —more air—more people passing at this corer, than at any other place in New York. Fulton street henceforth will be the great literary, philosophical, and newspaper thoroughfare of this country—a greater than Wall street in finance and newe—a greater than Patermoster Row in literature and science. Fawvy Exssrrn Last Evexine.—Were this magi- cal creature to continue with us a thonsand years, and dance tothe thirty-first of December on the last of them, she would develone some new grace, some original paramount charm, more brilliant and me- morable than had been seen before. Her Sylphide and Polacca of last evening created literally rap- turous feelings, and an audience of equal splendor and taste was never more highly dehghted. This, we art sorry to say, her last engagement here, has not varied either in brilliancy or influence. Her hold upon the public is maintained with as power ful an enchantment as ever, and it will be long, very long, ere so fervent an admiration can be kindled toward any public performer in amy department of the drama. The beautiful and peculiar Polacea, yne of her most exquisite gems, was encored with a freshness of excitement fally equal to that which was awakened on her first appearance, and the staces of her Sylphide, concerning which the judg- ment of the public is now well matured, were ap- planded with a deep intensity of enthusiasm which evinced how worthily they were appreciated.

Tn consequence of the threatening aspect of the affairs between that country and Mexico, President Houston has ordered a special session of Con- gress. We take the following items from the papers :— . The President has appointed Gen. M. Hunt acting inspector General ot the republic, with orders to or- ganize the troops that are to be mustered into ser- vice. We understand the President intends to order out a certain portion of the troops of each county of the republic, with the exception of the counties of Bexar, Goliad, Refugio, San Patricio, and Travis. If volunteers sufficient should not enlist, a draft will be made. Harris county will be required to furnish 256 infantry, and the other counties in proportion to their population.

It is said that a party of U. S. Troops were stationed within ten miles distance ! Tue Catskiut, Mounrarns.—The most beautiful, pleasant, and sublime place under the blue heavens, is now open, and ready for the reception of visitors. ‘Travellers on their way up the North River, for the Springs or the Falls, will always find it agreeable to stop at Catskill a day or two—particularly when the weather gets warm. West Point, we believe, is abandoned—and it is right ; it never has been kept worth a button since Cozzens was there. Burnuam’s, Broomnepate.—This charming place is now in the full of flowers and beauty. The roses are in bloom—the hyacinths out—the tulips opened to heaven—the trees covered with green leaves— and allas rich aspossible. A drive to Burnham’s is truly delicious. Og- Niato’s.—Polichinel last evening was a decided hit, Gabriel electrified, and Miss and Mr. H. Wells delighted a crowded saloon. Thescene- ty, by Lehr, is beautiful; the whole stage arrange- ments reflect high credit on the management. The never failing comic piece of M. Dechalumaw: is act- ed this evening, together with a French Vaudeville and Rope dancing. English Vaudeville to-morrow evening. The new piece again on Thursday. Mork or rue Eartuquakr.—The Natchez Free ‘Trader of the 26th ult. says . Philbrick, of Wilkinson, informs us that on the 7th inst. the an- niversary of the ere tornado, some young men, fishing in the Buf , observed a great commotion in the water, and the current, to all appearances, changed its course and ran up. J. B. Moore, who lives near the Homochitto, states that the same cir- cumstances occurred on the same day on that river. To make the affair more marvellous highly respectable citizen of Baltimore, now here, says that on the evening of the 7th he put upat Kings, in Madison couuty; that a party of persons came to the tavern from Pearl river, and stated that the waters were violently agitated, and that the “river ‘was running up stream.” a trom Holmes Co., shorly afterwards rode up and stated that the same extraordit disturbance of the waters had occurred on Big Black. ‘The Jeffersonian, published in Clinton, Louisiana, makes the following statement :— = |. “There oceurred in the streams of this parish on the Ist of this inst. a very powerful and violent agita- | tion of the waters, for which we are at a loss to ac- | count. The day was quite clear, and the waters of } most of our larger streams were discovered by many of ovr citizens, for several minutes, to roll from | bank to bank, with such violence as at times to be | thrown out a considerable distance on the land, and rendering the streams very muddy: occasionally the agitation caused the waters to rush from each bank to the centre of the stream with considerable force, | and flowing up to rome consi Ne height from | the violence with which they came in contact.

Richard M. Johnson, formerly Vice-President of the United States, who had ar- rived in this city on that day. That said Job would have been unhorsed had it not been that he was i seated in his saddle, and had presence of mind left to raise his arms with an umbrella, and threaten to dagh it through the skull of said Granger, which threat released him from fie grave of defend- ant, when he rode away not unhor but unharmed. upon certain inflammatory Thursdays at the garden of the Capitol, or similar Saturdays at that of the Executive mansion. These confla- srations are beginning now in all their fury. The attempts against divers habitations here, successful as they are—not only in despoiling many a blame. less citizens—but in’ eliciting comfortable sup- pers and potations for amateur patroles, are fools to the results of these semi weekly promenades. Oh, Mrs. Rockendortl, how many an ice cream has been sold inthat quiet little back parlor of thine, in consequence of some casual glance on such after- noons; and if you, Mr. Kinchy, will tell the plain truth, und we never heard of your being given to telling anything else, you will acknowledge how ing finitely more the treasury of that pretty apartment over your shop thrives through the influences of these days of petticoat convention, than does the more ostentatious columned edifice in your ncigh- borhood, through those of the other Congress, ‘ Se pen raf too cool Oy bbe at the ee itol to be altogetherso agrecable as yesterday prove 3) the President’s; still both occasions drew ef crowd, delighted and delighting. ‘There were persons with whom we imagined ourselves acquainted, because we had seen their faces at so many similar assem- blages; and they even looked at usas though they thought the same of our amiable countenance; still we both passed with all the affectation of being ut- ter strangers! What hy ites we are! Each knew the other a vast deal better than many who have held familiar intercourse for years, yet we went on pestending just the reverse. i _ After all, now, is not this silent, unrecognising in- timacy which isengendered by nually moving in the same gphere and passing 1 same streets, and avenues and walks, quite ue @musing as any other sociality?

May he have a safe de- livery, and all his numerous friends who will be there to see the result of this important and long delayed trial. So mote it be. ial for Reciving Stolen Goods.—A woman named Mary Packwood, of 112 Orange street, was tried for secrgel = Bele offering to sell a gold watch, the property of William Lee, jr. of 59 Reed street, which had been stolen, together with a chain from him on the 17th ult. by a girl named Catherine Con- nell, who resided in the family as a servant, It was proved that the watch was valued at , and that she offered to dispose of it to Frederick#Levy of 78 Bowery, for $35, when hestopped the article and took her place of residence Catherine Connell, the al who stole the watch, testified that she was in- lnced to commit the larceny from the request of her husband’s aunt [Elizabeth ‘Geery, sh le being intoxi- cated at the time from liquor that had been given | done, how is it that you can still look so undisturb- her while at the house of Geery.

City Intelligence. Constructive Larceny.—On the 12th of Decem- ber last Mr. Stephen Hedges, of Hudson, in this State, placed a letter in the hands of Edward Hyatt, mate of thesteamboat Westchester, «tat plies be~ tween this city and Hudson, addressed to Wm. M. Brownson, of this city, and containing $50 in bank notes. The letter not having been received by Mr. Brownson, inquiry was made relative to it, when Hyatt stated that he had delivered it te the bar- tender of the boat, named Gurdon Dixon. Mr. Hedges not being able to ascertain any satisfactory information as tojthe disposal of the letter, obtained a warrant yesterday for the arrest of Dixon, whenhe | 08 between two young lad q. made us pause in was secured by officer Tappan and arraigned for | i, stroll towards the gar",en portico of the White House.
