Supreme Court, @ a oe Present, ail the Judges. . Janvany 13.—Henry N. Beach, Com , $c. vs, South- perth & Litehjield. - ‘By the Court—Jadge Edaonde,— *s is an al from an order made at the special 1, dissolving the injunction that had been issued, _4 denying the cetver. “A motion is made to dismiss the ap; several grounds. 1. Because the execution of the un- ig, given on taking the appeal, is neither proved nor acknowledged To file an undertakiug with- out that prerequisite is undoubtedly irregular. The 120th rule requires peremptorily that “all bonds or written securities shall be duly proved or acknow- edged in the manner prescribed by law, for the proof jor acknowledgement of deeds of real estate, before the same shall be received or filed” This rule is still ia force, aud in no instance cam an undertaking be re- ceived or filed, nor will any be approved of by the Judges of the Court, unless duly proved or acknow- edged pursuant to this rule. 2. The mext objection is, that had been obtained pur- It appears, however, This also was irregular. ing must serve on his adversary copies rae uired to file, in ‘papers which he is fect the appeal, #0 tt the respond- ‘now, without being under the necessity of clerk’s office, to ascertain whether jall the stepe have been teken which are necessary to poking a parties Sppeal. 3, Another objection is, that ‘Ro not was given of the nam d additions of the sureties to the undertaking This also is an irregula- rity. The respondent has the right to except to the sureties, when required within » certain period after Rotice of the ye In order to enabie him to do tht ‘be must, with ki ties are; for un! jerder to jent may jecarc uJ sureties are, he may part, or perha; the whole of the time for exception, which the etatere allows, This notice of the sureties must contain their 4 additions, specifying their calling or occa- nd in the city the number of the street where yy reside. All these irregularities are merely a con- = tion of the rules of court, which may be dis- ma is alleged that there is ancther defect which is in contravention of a re- uirement of astatute; and the question is, whether t fa fatal to the proceeding, or san be remedied by lamendment. By section 290, of the code. it is enscted that an undertaking upon an appeal shail be of no ef- fect unless me le sp aes d in the first instance bya judge of the court below,&o. The undertaking on this lappeal has not received such an approval, nor could it, robably, have obtained it, for it does not con: in any description of the persons who executed i which it certainly ought to do, as otherwise it might be difficult to ascertain what precise individual it iwas who had signed it, or was to be bound by it. In this respect, the appeal is imperfect, if security is juired; for the undertaking, without such approval, can be of moeffect. This being @ requirement of @ jatatute, we cannot dispense with it as we mey with thoee things which are required by our rules only. 'We can dispense with it only When authorized to do iso by statute. The motion here 1s to amend those pro- lceedings by obtaining now the required approval. [There may be some doubt whether we could allow the lamendment asked tor, under the provisions of the jcode, because section 366, which allows the time with- im which any proceeding in an action must be had, af- {ter ite commencement, and before judgment, to be en- larged, expressly excepts the time within which an ap- peal must be taken. The Revised Statutes, howe: seem to have made provision for suchacase. By 2R. §, 556, section 33, in regard to bends, (for which un- dertakings are now substituted.) it is enacted that they need not conform, in all respects, to the form re- quired by any Statute, but the same shall be deemed sufficient, ifit conform substantially, and de not vary in any matter prejudicial to the rights of the other party. By seotion 34, whenever such bond shall be lefective, in any respect, the Court, officer, or body, who would be authorized to receive it, or to entertain lany proceedings in consequence of it, may amend the Mm To the Senate and House of Representatives : Gentlemen—Yours is the Atieth Geaeral Aseembly which bas convened in our State, and yet, judging the future by the it, the business of making and cbanging laws is by no means drawing to a close. After treating of the financial department of the State, he says, with regard to manufactures :-If we manufacture at home, our heavy materials, our provi sions, and the manufactures of bemp and tobacco, our horses and mules would be shipped down stream to the South and exchanged for cotton. This exchange would absorb a large portion of our surplus produate of the soll. The cotton, a light article, Cy = be brought up stream at proper seasons of the year, fora very small cost. To manufacture it would require a large por tion of our population, and those having to be fed would consume the belance of our surplus provisions; and thus the agricultural part of our population would be well provided for With equal care, the nanufac- turing part should be encouraged, and they could not fuffer. once fairly under headway, because we have all the means of manufacturing here cheap and abundant. ‘We have good water power and plenty of fuel, and both are cheap and essily obtained. Real estate is abun- dant, at the lowest prices. Provisions are plenty, and at double their present value would be much cheaper than they are in places where manafactories have sus- ceeded well. The fabrics produced, at helf the pri- ces many of them are nowselling various parts of our State, would still be much higher than the same fabrics at Lowell. Our provisions, then, would cost the menufacturer less, and his fabrics would sell for buy his shirtings and wer than he now does. igher icles ¢ encouragement of manufactories would widen the field of agricultural pursuits, It would courage woe) growing, to whic! fe better adapted 2: business no country than ours; and it would extend thi le ‘oft. It would encourage the growth of all our staples to be exchanged for cotton, for the use of our factories, and all pursuits, and give new life ahd vigor to our population, and increase their wealth and comfort. If it be so tial to the interests of our country to encourage nufactories, then it becomes a matter terest to the Legislature to ascertain the best of encourag- hat is the proper very 80 tion of our country where one i demanded by t! wants of the community, for the people to combi: their means,as they would in the construction of railroad or apy other lmprovenent, To be profitable, manufactory of almost any kind shoald be con- tructed on @ lerge scale, and that would require = large capital—euch an amount as weuld seldom be found in the session of one man, and such an amount as it would not be desirable for one man to poreers. If this be s0, then factories ought to be established by companies or associations of persons. And this being #0, it becomes important to ascertain the best mode of organizing and governing these companies or associa- tions so as to reap the advantages te result from a combination of their means, without subjecting our- selves to the injuries which such bodies often inflict upon a community. Under a call from the two houses of the last legisla. ture, the plan of @ school was given for the education of teachers, and also for the education of the children of the country, without cost to the public for teachers, except the expense of putting the school in operation. ‘A plan. as at firat prepared, wesextended #0 much in detail aste become too lengthy for the use of the legislature. and, in an effort to abridge it at s time when various other calla for information were pressed upon the executive, the abridgment was badly gotten up; bu’ the elements of the plan were there; and it is be- Meved they are worth a serious investigation. You a invited, most respectfully, to give it the merited at- tention, whatever that may be. A notice of these will aid in explaining the plan as Proposed to thelast legislature. The important features are there: Ist, the sobool is for the education of teach- ers for the common schools of the country; 2d, in the management of the school. the senior members ate re- leame, in any respeot; and thereupon it shell be jeemed valid from the time of its execution. ‘good im peint of form. since the eufficiency of the laureties is provided for by the exception and examin- tion which is allowed. And the approval does not seem to be essential tothe rignts of the respondent, since it does not conclude him as to t! idity of the undertaking, or the sufliciency of the sureties. ‘The ap, ‘al is essential to the sufficien ‘undertaking, asa part of the machinery ni taking an appeal, not to its validity as to tur thes to it ; and the want of it is suche defect as not prejudice the rights of the party to whom or for whose benefit ithas been taken, It comes, therefore, within the 34th section of the R. 8., amd may be amended in this respect. It is not, however, necessary for us to decide thie point, because we are of opinion that on appeals from “orders,” as distinguished from “ju nts,”? no eecurity is required ; but we throw Out these suggestions in the hope that by stating our views, we may do away with many of the irregularities which we are compelled so frequently to witness, and which seem to have their origin in entire forgetfuln of that provision of the code (eect. 389) which enacts that the practice end rules of the court, where not inconsistent with the code, shall continue in force, subject to the power of the court over them as it now exists. By recollecting this, and practising accord- ingly, avoid compelled te subject the erring party tc the costs of correcting the errors, even when they do not affect the substan.ial rights of the parties. dn this case, the irregularity which has occurred in taking the appeal is, the omission to serve the judge’s certificate with the notice of appeal. If security had been required on the appesl, there would have been several additional irregularities, such as the omission to have the undertaking proved or achnowledged, pur- suantto the 120th rule; the omission to obtain the judge’s approval of it; the omission of s proper descrip- tion in the undertaking of the parties who have entered into it, including their names in full, residence and occupation, and the omission of a notice of the names and additions of the sureties. These things will be requi in all cases where an undertaking is to be given under the code ; but in this oase these omissions are none of them irregularities, because no security is required on an hy Cod on special motion. Fer the irregularity which has occurred here, as it does not af- feot the merits, we do not quash the appeal. We deny the motion or psyment ot costs, on condition tiat the appellant forthwith serve a copy of the judge’s certifi- cate. SPECIAL TERM. Before Justice Edwards.

In m- bined plan, its advantages would be thribble. In the first place, our teachers, the senior members of the school, would review their own studies while instruot- ing their juniors, and improve themselves as rapidly if devoting the time totheir own studies, This is fact to which every man who has taught @ school can bear ample testimony. Inthe next place, they would teach any number of junior members. without cost for teachers. except a general superintendent to direct as to the proper ge. of imparting instruction and go- verning the school In the third place, the senior members, in teaching the junior, would acquire the habit. under the best instructor, of imparting know- ledge and governing aschool,in the most successful manner.

In another corner of the house was a group of men, calculating the loss of Cass and gain of Taylor; and in the door of the house stood the deputy sheriff, selling a poor fellow’s corn, for a small suspicion of debt; while the probate clerk, at his table, was busily engaged in calling off the land assessment book; and in another corner of the house stood a group of boys, swapping marbles.

The home should be reserved | to the poor and the broken down man. to encourage him and his wife and children to work ; to improve, to rear houses and to plant gardens and orchards. Now, if theland be worth one hundred and fifty dollars when reserved from sale, after the improvements have been mode. and the orchards have grown up, it will be worth three hundred dollars, and this increase of value will subject s portion of the land to sale again. Then, under this law, to keep the whole of his land, this man must refuse to improve it,and must cut down his orchards to prevent them from growing and increasing the value of his home. This should not be the policy of the law; is surely not the interest of the country or of creditors, nor is it in accordance with the principles ofhumanity This law should be so amended, that no part of a piece of land, once reserved from exeoution, should afterwards be exposed to sale in con- Sequence of an inorease of value.

Congress—Pol'tres of the Day—The Commisstoner of Indian Affatra— Another Case of Contempt of @ Congresstonal Committee—Colonel John B. Willer—Mr, Fillmore--Old Zack--Hewry Clay The Inaugura ton Ball--Fears of the Cholera, §c. Neither of the two houses accomplished much in the way of busiaess to-day. The Senate after disposing of the miscellaneous matters of the morning hour, discussed a private bill or two, and then went into executive session, after which, they adjourned ayer to Monday. The Heuse talked off the day in the case of the Florida negro, for the loss of whom indemnity 18 asked; and ona resolution of the select commit- tee appointed to examine into certain alleged ais- crepancies, as understood in the books of the com missioner of Indian affairs, which resolution of said committee appointed at the last session, pro- poses that the sergeant-at-arms of the House shall take Mr. Taylor, or clerk of the Indian bureau, in- to custody, as a prisoner of State, for contempt of the committee, in refusing to answer their ques- tions. After a learned discussion of the question ot imprisonment of the refractory clerk, it was thought best to me any action upon the reso- lution till Monday, by which time it s thought the Witnees, with the danger of incarceration impend- ing over him, may come to terms, and answer the questions of the committee of investigation. With regard to the administration of the Indian bureau by Col. Medill, we undertake to say that that bureau has never had amore competent, faith- ful, capable, and devoted public officer. He has largely ameliorated the condition ot the Tadian tribes ; he has reorganized the distribution of their anauities in many cases, so that they get twice the benefit trom them that they did before; and he has succeeded, during the last summer, in making treaties with certain tribes of the North- west, highly advantageous to the treasury and to the Indians. We know not the exact nature of the charges upon which this investigation is institu- ted ; but we would stake our life upon the fidelity of Col. Medul. We owe him nothing ; but we have marked his course for ten years as the ex- emplary man and faithful public servant—and such men alwayscommand our support. Col. John B. Weller, late demooretic candidate for Governor of Ohio, 18 in the city. Itis reported that he will probably succeed to the nomination which was given to Col. Sevier, as commissioner to run the boundary line between the United States and Mexico. Col. Weller is an upright and capable man; and if the President has resolved, as reported, that he shall have the place, we have no doubt that he will be promptly confirmed, espe- cially as the chances of the democrats are so soom to be transferred to the other branch of our great poliucal emily, Whatever Mrs, Grundy may say to the contrary, af ae good policy to “make hay while the sua shines. Mr. Fillmore, Vice President elect, has taken rooms at Coleman’s Hotel, where we expect Old Zack will be quartered for the few days that he may be here in advance of the inauguration. Some anxiety, in the meahtime, is felt ter Gen. Taylor, and also for Mr. Clay, both of whom at the last advices, as supposed, were withia the boundaries of the epidemic of the cholera. But we have great faith in the presentiment that they are both to be spared. , Large preparations are in progress for a grand inauguration ball. An immense booth is te be builtin Judiciary square, for the occasion, ¢: ble of holding 10,000 people, more or less; but it 1s now feared that the cholera will prevent the as- sembling of the large crewd at first anticipated.

The Mail Robbery Case-—Robbery and Atempted Murder--—Anti-Catholic Lecturese—A Row-- Theatrreals, &c. The jury inthe case of RichardjH. Key, charged with robbing the mail, have been out all night, unable to agree on a verdict. There is no doubt as to his guilt, but the question is as to whe- ther the evidence admitted 1s sufficient to sustain averdict of guilty. It is supposed by some that if the jury do not agree, a nolle pros will be entered ; but I understand that other facts have come into the possession of the government since this trial commenced, which will prevent the adoption of sucha course, and on a second trial cause the dmission of additional and direct testimony. A most outrageous case of robbery and almost murder occurred a few miles from the city on Fri- day night. Two strangers stopped at the tarm- house of an old man, named Hooker, and was so brutally beaten and stabbed, that but li:tle hope is entertained of his recovery. After leaving him, as they supposed dead, they locked his wite in @ room, and robbed the house of about $1,000, and made their escape. A large party is now scouring the country in the hopes of finding them. Last night, quite a riot occurred at the Monk of La cranes lecture.
