Nth arreee Law Aitaltiqnnee, Surenion Coun, J 22—In Banco-~Declsion: Siekman ads. Langly—A motion was made at Cham- bers on behalf of defendant, to postpone the reference of this cause, on the ground that defendant had not been able to complete the examination of @ witness, who had not atiended, and whose testimony, it was represented, was important. We think these motions ought not to bs eucouraged; it belongs to the referee to the propriety ‘of postponements, avd we are not in clined to listen. to sueh spplications. bit! to leave them altogether to the discretion of the referee If, however, justice was not done, it would be opon for either party to apply to the Court,and we would correct any errors that might be committed by a referee.

The matter ‘was brows) A peswed ‘* Jadge at Chambers, end an order m: the judgment A difficulty afterwards ocourr rs drawivg up the order, it was not taken ou| ond the plaintiff's attormey went on and issued an exe cution direoted to the sheriff, with directions to levy th net amount only. The defendant's attorney maden recond motion to the judge at chambers, which was dis- missed with coats, This order wasappealed from—upon looking into it, weare of opinion that the defendant's attorney has delayed too leng. We, therefore, order » rule to-be entered, such ao was bofore granted by the jaige at chambers. Ordered that plainti inay amend che judgment and executio: attorney several years ago agai terwards became a bankrupt, and all his chattels and rights passed to his assignee. The claim for which this notion is brought, was sold by the assiguee, to # person ct the name of Shannon, and by Shannon it was as- signed to Mc. MoMaster, who now seeks to strike out the plaintifi’s neme and substitute either his own name er the name of Shannon, as the assignee, alleging thet Galo ia a witness whose testimony is mi ‘The action cannot be maintained in the name cf any one Dut the assignee, and if he prosecutes, ho can only do eo itr the benefit ef the bankrupts’ estate; there i therefore, no pretence for this motion. If the assign however, comes before us and asks us to substitute his pame, we will consider it; but at present, there is no application of that kind. The motion, therefore, must be denied with oorts. Bockour vs, Coxzens—This case comes before us un- der the following circumstances. In 1843, a political body started in this city called the Native American As- rociation; a committes was got up in the Third ward, for the purpose of promoting the election of a per favorable to the political opinions of that party, anda person named Heath hired s xoom from the defendant, and executed a lease of it for 06 year, by order of the Ward Committee; the room was ovcupied by the com- mittee for the purposes of the Association; the rent for the year was paid except five or six doliare; but they ocoupied the room for a portion of the next year, and it wes tor the rent whieh acerued for this time toat the action was brought against Messrs. Coszens and Way, ng two of the persons who belonged to the Asscciation. ‘Thero is 20 evidence that Cozz-ns had anythiug to do with it after he was elected alderman; but on the con- trary itappesred thet he remonstrated ngeinst hiring this room, We, therefore, think there is no ground fer Giatur bing the uon-suit. Motion to ret aside non-suit denied, Smith vs. Smith —This matter comes before ws on & report of a’referee ‘The action was brought to reeover compeneation for the building ofa steamboa'; the matter was afterwards referred; there were several heariogs etore the referees and a great deal of evidence taken ‘The referees reported infavor of the plaintiffs for $900, ‘upon which a great many questions were reserved and brought bsfore us. The first material question in the ense wae, whether there was any evidence of a joint liability on the part of the two defendants. That the plaintiff could have an action against one of the defend- ants there ean be no doubt; but it would seem the re- ferees oame to the conclusion that both were jointly liable; but upon that point we are not satisfied; tho evi- nee against Reuben Smith is that he was only occa. sionally there, and made -some suggestions about the work. It also appeared that when the boat was regis- tered at the Custom House, the carpenters were riquired to give a certificate of the owners, and signed the certitleate for the for the two defendants; but itep- peared that Reuben Smith afterwards explained why this was done; he had rade advances while tho yaasel was building. and the certificate was drawn in hi to give him a property in the yeasel,to secure vances. It is therefore apparent tous, that the referees relied upon these facts to make Reuben liable for the building of the bost, and in so doing we think they were incorrect, and the report must be set snide. i Workman vs. Beach Hoggarty—Motion for new trial lenied Comsteck vs Comstock —Appeal diemiesed, with costs Common Piras—In Banco—Decisions— Mc Carty adam, Fraser ~ Judgment for plaintiff. with costs.

Thesurface of Holland is very level. going to say there was not s mountain in Hollan There is only one corsiderable hill. 1 have been on the top of it; it was very small indeed. The Romans for- tided it in their dsy, and the ruins still exist. Asto Belgium, it is not so lavel, being more diversified by hills and dales, mountains and valleys. but very different from Switzerland. There are a number of things in which these countries resemble each other, and there Holland. are many others in which they are exactly opposite. We ssid there are no considerable mountains in either country. There are no forests and sll their wood has to be brought from other na! Neither is there any stone fit for building pur they nd oth jan ‘They differ in many particulars fastaring as well as au agricultural countey. The man- Belgium 1s a manu- Ufactures of various cities in Beigium have attained considerable eminence, and we see very great attention paid to agriculture. Holland, how- ever, is a commercial country. Belgium is not. The commerce of Hol ia inore extensive in pro- portion to her inhabitants aad sea coast, than any other nation ia Europe. Her colonies contain from five to six millions of inhabitants She, therefore, must pos- jessan immense commerce with her colonial dominions Hollend isa riot couatry; Belgium poor. There is another thing of vast importance. Belgium isa Ro- man Catholic couatry. At‘ one time thers were no Pro- testants ‘Tho Pope heshowover, seen from the peculiar position of the country,that she was very much exposed. So noon as civil freedom was introduced. religious free- dom also commenced. To the honor, however. of the Belgian government, be it suid, that although its head men, prime ministers, ko ,are Roman Catholics, it in- terfores with no seot. The Pope has foreseen the ger to his authority from these causes, and has multiplied the number of priests, from time to time, so that they are much more num: rous now than in 1930. In Holland nearly all the inhabitants are Protestants. They grant toleration to Rowan Catholies also. There are no fewer than four languages spoken in Belgium, and which you must see at glance must retard their progress very much Inthe southern parts, in the neighborhood of Frauee, they speak Frenoh. Io auothor part, Fiemisb; in another, Duteh; and another, they ppeak the Germen 5 a language. ‘In Holiand, they generally speak the Dateh language. As to internal matters, a great deal has been done to make good rouds; and in Belgium, great many railroads have been formed. It possesses more railroads, in proportion, than aay other nation fa Europe. It will soon be covered with them, and all have been made by the government alone. As to the inhabitants tbem- selves, the Belgians differ much from the Dutch. Thay are more like the Frenoh ‘I'he Belgains and the people of Holiand have u very great antipathy to each other; as mush 60 48 onee subsiated between the Scotch and the English,or the French and tho Koglish. Several yearaago, in passing through these countries, it was with great dif- floulty I could get from the one nation to the other ; the passport was minutely exsmined. We know little or nothing about the early inhabitents. We find them spcken of when the Romans conquered France ; they soon began to think of conquering Holland ; they con- quered it very imperfectly, as they had great difficulties to contend with, Holland in those days was covered with forests and marshes At the downfall of the Roman Empire they came under the dominion of Charles. At first, they were governed by # number of Dukes, ko , but in the process or time they fell to the Burgundy family. Lastly they were united to Spain, asthe Duke married intc that family. Belgium has experienced a number of changes, in one of which the Protestant religion was in- volved, Holland was a place of r ted of all the nations in Kurope; she took them all un- der her proteo'ion, and this assisted ia enlarging and consolidating her ‘population. Therefore there are a great many Scotch, English, French, &o, in Holland, and their names to this day tell their origin. Leopold, King of the Belgians, {san amiable man, and very much es- teemed; he wants decision of character; he is fond of fcience and the fine arts, and thougn not very popular is @ good King. ‘The Rey. gentleman then spoke of their education and their universities. Belgium has mot pro- duced any great men in the strict sense of the word; whereas Holland has produced a good many. Here Br. B. went over a number of the names of the writers,and spoke of their merits. Afterwards he described several of the gteat cities aud objects of curiosity in both countries, and gave avery particular account of the wind mills they have for draining the land.

The Cologne Gazet'e publishes the following letter from Rome :~ “ The question of the Jesuits haa noceesn- rily caused the Popo great anxiety. Before hostilities broke out in Switzerland, the Holy See had been several times evtreated to pronounce a decided opinion, which would, perhaps, have prevented the civil war. Father Venture alzo :ecommended this course to the Pope, who anid As Pope, | cannot banish the Jeauits from Lu cerne; bat, if they chooss to qait that place yoiunterily, they will fake # grext weight off my mied.’ Father Ventura thought it his duty to mention theas words to Father Rootham, the General of the Jesuista, who ro- plied :— You are perhaps right, but | am not mater in @ wy counsel of four consuiroré, on whora | ain dependent, and who are of opinion that our brethren cannot fly at’ this moment, when their etay at Lucerne begins to be attended with danger to them?” Letters from Gonoa, of the 15th, atate that the King of Sardinia haa written to his Holivess the Pope, desiriog him to recall the Jesuists from his States.

Houston, re-elected for six years to the Senate, from the State of Texas, came in th: evening. This extraordinary man, whose his- tory presents some of the strangest and most anomalous and irreconcileable characteristics, incidents and circumstances, maintains a popu- larity which no man can account for, except on the ground of magnetism, that peculiar personal fascination which Mr. Foote says is possessed by Henry Clay to such a remarkable extent. We shall hear of Sam Houston, perhaps, at the Bal- timore democratic convention, because we know that there are certain great men who have their misgivings in this respect. Dr. Boynton’s lectures gave general satisfac- tion, and the favorable mention of him by Mr. Foote in the Senate was a‘ palpable hit.” Capt.

The government ought to send the Captain to the Gull to lift out some of the nu- juerous Wrecks in that quarter, for we verily be- lieve that ifthe spot could be found where the Pre- sident went dowa, if it were not over a mile or two from the suriace, the sub-marine man, with his water-proof armor and caoutehou would bring her again to the light of day, cover- ed with barnacles and sponges, and filled witn the bones of the lamented crew and passengers, of whom not one was left to tell the tale of that sad disaster. Capt. Taylor, in walking the ships of Commodore Perry over the bar, at Tabasco, astounded the Mexicans as much as Corvez did with his men on horseback, and in lifting up the Columbus from among the oyster beds below Baltimore, has only proved that ‘some things can be done as well as others,” for he can dive deeper than Sam Patch, stay under longer, and bring a steamboat up with him, which is more than Sam dreamed of when he took his | profitable plunge into the Genesee.
