ORIGINAL ARTICLES. ‘The Ingersolls of Connectieut—Hereditary Honors. We observe by the returns of the Connecticut lection that Colin M. Ingersoll is clected as the democratic candidate to represent the New Haven District, comprising New Haven and Middlesex counties, in the next Congress. This Mr. Ingersoll, who, we are glad to learn, is a Union democrat, is a son of Hon. Ralph J. Ingersoll, of New Haven, late minister to Russia; and is a young lawyer, of about thirty years of age. He was for two or three years secretary of legation from the \nitod States to the Russian court, having been preceded by his brother, Charles R. Ingersoll, who accompanied bis futher to Russia, on bis appointment by Mr. Polk, in 1846. Mr. Colin M. Ingersoll remained in Russia, @s secretary of legation, after his father was suc- ceeded aa minister by Mr. Bagby, of Alabama; and he returned to this country in 185v. It is curious to observe the disposition which has always been manifested among the people of Con- nectiout to reward hereditary talent, real or sup- posed, and to foster aristocracy in a few leading families, by electing and appointing to high offices men belonging to those familics, in preference to others of far more deserving claims in point of merit, but of more humble pretensions with régard tofamily connections. The same remark may apply to other New England States; but nowhere in America, so much as in Connecticut, do the people stand more in awe of the old aris- tocratio families, who are always well repre- sented by leaders, both in the whig and democrati parties. As illustrations of this assertion, we may mention, that among those who have been elected Governors of Connecticut, are three Woleotts, two Wintarops, three Trumbulls dd two Griswolds. ‘The Huntingtons, Ellsworths, Baldwins, Good- riches, Davenports, Boaramans, Perkinses, and Ingersolls, are among the Connecticut names whic : have always been highly favored, when office was to be bestowed, or honors were to be conferred. The Ingersoll family are mentio: das among the early emigrants to Massachusetts; but we are not aware that they weve conspicuous in the annals of the colonies, or those of the mother country, until ove of the name sprang into notice in Connecticut, at the time of the troublous scenes which preceded | born the American revolution. Ingersoll, in Milford, Connecticut, in 1722, was a promi- | nent lawyer of New Haven, where ho had graduated, at Yale College, in 1742. He was ap- .pointed agent of the colony in Lngland in 1757. and before returning to this country, received from the | English crown, after the passage of the stamp act, in 1765, the appointment of distributor of stamps for the district of Connecticut. [He had aided Dr Frenklia in his efforts to preveat the passage of the stamp’ act, and accepted the oflico of stamp distri- butor, by the advice of Franklin. But the people of Now Haven compelled bim to resign his office, and being considered a friend of the British government, he never recovered his former popularity, although in 1770 he was appointed Judge of Admiralty, whee ho removed to Philadelphia. The revolution suspended his official functions, aod li ed to Now Haven, where he died, in 1751. The father of Charles J. aad Jo R. soll, of Philadelphia, was 4 son of iho foregoing, and of the same name, viz:—Jared Ingersoll graduated at Yale College in 1766; settling in Philadelphia, he attained a the bar of that city, as a Ho was a member of the Continental Con- gress, and of the convention which framed the constitution of the United States, in 1757.

We have already announced the death, on the 6th inst., of Orville Hungerford, Esq., of Watertown, Jefferson county, long distinguished in the annals of the State,asa financier and politician, connected with the Albany regency, once so potent a body in con- trolling the affairs of this great State. Mr. Hun. gerford, was about sixty years of age, and wi a gentleman of fine personal appearance and affable manners. We are unacquainted with his early his- tory, but our impressions are that he went to Jeffer- son county as a merchant, and followed the mercantile life for some years. In 1830, we find him acting as cashier of the Jefferson County Bank, then located at Adams, but which was removed to Watertown, the county seat,in 1832. The celebrated Perley Keyes, who figured in the Legislative annals of the State, as a leading democrat, for a long period of time, and was one ofthe seventeen Senators who voted against the electoral law in 1824, was President of the bank of which Mr. Hungerford was cashier. The late Isaac Bronson, of this city, the king of financiers in his day, had a large interest in the stock of the bank, and it was managed under his auspices, according to his peculiar notions of banking—one of which was to make the bills of the bank always at par in New York, by redeeming here; another, never to renew a note for a customer, until the original was paid up; and a third, to tefuse to discount paper having over ninety days to run. Under the management suggested by Mr. Bronson, the bank was eminently prosperous, and the stock among the best bank stocks in the State. It was sought for by the late Mr. Prime, and Mr. Bronson finally sold his stock in the bank at a highfprice to Mr. Prime, or to the late firm of Prime, Ward & King. | Some of the original ideas of Mr. Bronson in bank management were laid aside, we believe, even be- fore his interest in the bank had ceased. About 1834 Mr. Hungerford was clected pres! dent of the bank, in which he had so long acted as cashier. The bank coming under the safety fund system, Mr. Hungerford acted in unison with Mr. Oleott, of Albany, cashier, and afterwards prosi dent of the Mechanics and Farmers’ Bank, of Al- bany—the institution which was at the head of the safety fund scheme; which was organized under the auspices of Mr. Olcott, as the confidential financier of the Albany regency. Tn 1842, Mr. Hungerford was nominated by the democrats, and elected, to represent Jefferson county in the twenty-eighth Congress, and in 1844 he was re-elected, to the twenty-ninth Congress. In 1846 he was defeated by avery small majority against him, in favor of Joseph Mullin, the whig candi- date. In 1847 Mr. Hungerford was placed on the | democratic ticket for State officers, asa candidate for Comptroller, but the democratic part being divided, and Mr. H. belonging to the hunker sec- tion of the democracy, large numbers ef the barn- burners withheld their votes from him and his col- leagues on the State ticket. Consequently, he shared the fate of the other democratic —no- misees—in an overwhelming defeat of the ticket. After that period, Mr. Hungerford retired from political life, but devoted himself to matters of public interest, particularly the promotion of in- ternal improvements. He was president of the | Watertown and Rome Railroad Company. A few | years since he established Hengeched's Bank, at ‘Adam:, Jefferson county. His public reputation, doubtless, rests mainly on his talents as a financier. The Late General Hugh Brady. | (From the Philadelphia Bulletin, April 11.)

The anniversary of this society was held on Friday last, at the American Bible Society's House, 115 Nassau street. There were about 200 ladies present. The ‘The exereines were commenced by the reading of a por- tion of the Holy Scriptures, by the Rev. Dr. Holdich; after which the annual reports were read by Joseph Hyde, Esq., from which it appears, that the donations for the last year, from the various churches, and from in- dividuals, to promote the objects of the society, amounted to $7,870 85, which is an excess of nearly $2,000 over the receipts of the preceding year. After the reading of the reports, Dr. Brigham proceeded to addross the society. He said that previous to moving the adoption of the report, he would make some remarks, He sald that it was to the Reformation they were indebted for bringing forward the Bible from the recesses in which it was stowed away by designing men, to deceive and defraud the people, in order to facilitate their own designs, From the present state of society, he said, a second reformation was uceded; the whole world is at present in a state of agitation; and if God had not promised us his support and aid, we should not be bere to-day to consider the result. This is not the time for us to act according to our own no- ‘The Discharge of Ray Tompkins. ‘One of the judges of the Supreme Court, yesterday morning, made an order discharging Ray Tompkins from custody, and acoompanied his decision with the following opinion, which was ordered to be filed with the clerk :— It was very strenuously urged on the argument of this case, on the part of the public prosecutor, that on habeas conus, the court or officer had po right to go behind the warrant on which tho prisoner was detained, and inquire from facts out of the return, into the legality of the im- prisonment. The effect of this principle would be, that the warrant of @ committing magistrate, when legal upon its face, would be conclusive upon the prisoner, and he could have no relief from imprisonment, even if no charge whatever had. in fact, been preferred against him. ‘The proposition was of so grave a character, and was fraught with consequences 40 palpably mischievous, a Was, withal, asserted with so much zeal, and appare with the rupport of authorities, that T have examined the subject very carefully. and rejoice to find that there is no authority to shake my previous convictions ou this eet ¢ most prominent authority cited in support of the proposition is Note 30 to the Appendix in 3 Hill, 659, where it is broadly Inid down, that, under an act of 1818, and under 4 500 of our present habeas corpus law, 2 R. 8.,471, if the object be to impeach the warrant as irregu- lar, or as founded on an irregular or erroneous judg- ment, decree or conviction, you can no more inquire of tions of expediency, nor should we ever act in relation to the works of God on those notions—we have but only one Master to whom we are responsible, and he is Jesus. We have but one Master, I sy, and we are todo his work as he pleases. Let me tell you that we do not sufficiently take the word of God (I speak of the community generally) as a rule by which we should live and serve our Master. ‘There is But One who is capable of comprehending all our necessities, and who can discover and make known all the contingencies which, from time to time, will oecur, and he haa given us his directions; he has, as it appears to me, fixed our duties Let us, then, go back to our Bible, as the souree from which we shall derive wisdom in morals. in religion, and in everything we are called upon todo, Let us, then, 1 say. go\to our Bible as the only source from which the will of God emanates, and where alone we can find his directions. Institutions of this kind, intended cither for general purposes, or for merely religious benevolence, are destined to work two results—one upon those whom we intend to serve, and the other is the result on our own character, He then urged his hearers, and through them the community, to come forward with a liberal spirit to sustain this noble insti- tution. He urged them to divest themselves of all nig- gardliness for God, said he,does not love a niggardly soul; and, in continuation, said, that when we look at the infi- nite effort of the Son of God. and the love of the blessed. Spirit, by whom we are enabled to resist. the powers of darkness, We cannot sce how it is possible for us to pay back anything to that Divine Spirit. Were we not per- mitted to read this blessed book, in which we find the words of our Master, our hearts could find no vent. The reverend speaker then showed the great benefits that the indiscrimizate reading of the Bible by the lower classes was calculated to confer on the community, He then reviewed the means which the society possessed for carrying out ita object, and then argued at great length that the citizens of New York, particularly those who were biessed with the means, were bound both morally and religiously to come forward and assist them in ex- tending the sphere of their usefulness, He then referred to the numberiess editions of profane books, filled with corruption and immorality, that were printed, pub- Nshed and circulated from year to year amongst ur; and, he was sorry to say that these corrupting books bad more readers than the Bible; but he would tell them there was only one soit that was written by an unfallible Judge.—a book which we could and ought to read in our closets, and from which we can only know wnd feel that truth, by our hearts burning within us, that Jesus is speaking to us—counselling us in our difficultis. and helping and directing usin our duties, He em- phatically condemned the reading of any book whatever in preference to the word of God. He did not, however, mean to be understood as speaking against them all; but his hearers should take care how they substituted 1 any- thing for the word of God. He then went into a compa- rison of the biography of the Bibie and of profane his- tory. and said that in the former we find not the history ike all present. We the ¢ history of Neah, of Daniel, and Job, and their sins laid bare. Hut how is it in profane histories? Why, the rubjects of those works ure held up as heroes, who have no sins to answer fur, and it is ouly by a few sentences at the end of the volume that we know they are men. He next referred to a habit which the Christians of the present day have got into of making short prayers, short sermous, and in making everything short that was connected with religious observances. How different it is. said he, in our legislative halla, and courts of justice | If you go into the latter you find ad- es occupying days, nay weeks, in addressing courts juries, in order to carry their point. If you go into ou find the members of the ditferent parties making motions to suspend the rales of the Honse, and resorting to every other device that human ingenuity can suggest, in order to create delay, and to thwart their opponents. He thea urged upon’ his hearers to spend iiore time in meditating upon the holy seriptures, and assured them that by so doing they would rise from their meditations with more strength, more piety, and more anticipations of heaven than they could by any of thove modes which human institutions have endenvored to substitute for the Divine word, After Dr. Brigham sat down, Dx. Tyxo rose and read a letter whieh he had that morning received from .the Rev, Doctor Mubleubury, in Which the Revd. writer stated his inability to be pre- sent, and, also, that he was one of the first to join the parent society, He then went into a history of the great benefits that were confetfed on the commnunity by He cireulation of the Bible. and concluded by urging the society to persevere in (heir labors, Dr. Tyug t a few brief and eloquent remarks which bya paxenge im the report, t That the soc It at one time met with some difficulties, f which a dissolution was talked of. not to think of a dissolution. word tn their voowbulary.

Another case is, The People vs. Cassels. 5 Hill, 168, which was also a commitment for contempt, and the Court held that the prisoner had an undoubted right to show that the committing mazistrate acted without authority, and that this was so, notwithstanding the comunitment recited the existence of the necessary facts to give jurisdiction. And they add, what is alike good sense and good law, no court or officer can acquire juris- diction by the mere assertion of it, or by falsely alleging the existence of facts on which jurisdiction depends. The case of MeLeod, (1 Hill, 377) is the only remaining one cited for the prosecution. There the question was, whether the court on heabeas corpus would go behind an iudictment to examine the question of guilt or innocence; and the court, in refusing to do so, expressly admit the propriety, in case of a commitment ona coroder’s inquest, to luok,into the depnsitions and ny that it was not neces- rary to inquire how far they might go, where the prisoner in custody on the mere examination or warrant of a com- mitting magistrate. ‘These are all the cases which I can find, or to which T have been referred in support of the doctrine contended, for in behalf of the prosecution. They do none of them sustain the doctrine, and it is well that they do not, for the habeas corpus would be a mockery, whenever a magistrate might please to make the instriments of oppression and false imprisonment formal and regular on its face. and personal liberty would be at the mercy of ignorance or design, beyond anything yet known to our laws, careless, ax they too frequently are, of freedom in the detail, amid the abundance of it in the 1 have always understood that it was the intention to give toa party committed for crime by an ex«nining magistrate, an appeal from his commitment to the bigher judges, by virtue of a writ of habeas corpus, and such has uniformly been my The practice is al ar and statute ‘Thus in the very notes in 3 Hill, which are so much relied upon, it is laid down that ona commitment by final process upon a eummary convictiongthe record of conviction may be examined, and, if it be void, the oner will be discharged.

And the falsity of the pretence is pot established, nor even at- tempted to be. And, for aught that appears, it may be perfectly true that Tompkins had sent the cheek to be certified, and if it may, then there is no foundation what. ever for the criminal charge on which the defendant is arrested, 1 have thus far confined m; against the defendant named in the warrant. and though I do not find in the depositions sufficient evidence to sup- pert that charge. it is still my duty, under the statute, to uire whether the depositions show him guilty of any pe ah offence. ‘The examinations before the magistrate took a very wide range, inquiring into all the transactions of the de- fondant on'the day of his failure, and on the argument considerations were urged in reference to the moral pro- priety of his conduct on that occasion. With the latter topic I have nothing to do. I am not authorized to in- quire whether his conduct squared with etriet morals or a high standard of commercial honor, 1 am to inquire merely whether a legal erime haa been committed, and whether there ix probable cause to suspect tho defendant to have been gu’ uty of it, None of the counsel for the pro- secution suggested that the depositions showed the com- mission of any other crime than that of obtaining the stock from Nathan by false pretences, Nor upon looking into attention to the charge | the depositions do I find any other charged. ‘The de- fendant’s failure seems to have come upon him suddenl; and unexpectedly. fis transactions on the day of his failure do not seem to have been out of the ordinar course of his business, nor upon a larger xeale than usu All the money receivedon that day, as well as several thousand dollars of a balance remaining in bank, except twenty-five dollars, he wpproprinted to the payment of debte which soem to have bee a justly owing by him, and which, at all evente, are not in these proceedings im- In such appropriation, be preferred some debts Whether it waa lawful or proper for him to make such preferences, is not a question now before mo.

City Intelligence. “Done, Brown’? rrom Garen, at a Mock Averion.— On Friday last, Mr. Reed, of Ohio, near Cincinnati, found his way into the mock auction shop, Pearl street, where he was induced to bid for sundry articles, and was “done brown” when he thought he was getting a won- derful bargain. For instance, he imagined he was pur- chasing a dozen black silk cravate for $1, when it turned out that, in the bill of sale, he was charged $1 for each, or $12 for the dozen. This he objected to, and was allowed to bid for something else, instead of the hand- kerchiefs, when he was again taken in, The following Dill of sale was presented to him, and he was threatened with the terrors of the United States Courts if he did not pay it!

He states that the spoons in the hich they stated were silver, are not silver ; and they also charged him tmore for the cloth than he bought it for. He paid $35 on the whole transaction, and has received probably $15 worth of goods. He has been only fleeced in $20—not much for a valuable lesson in Gotham, Having compounded the matter with the rtics, by taking other goods in exchange for the hand- erchicfs, he was informed at the Chief's office that he deprived himself of ail benefit from the law, He states that he did not see one of the Mayor's banners, near this auction shop, cautioning strangers to beware of it.
