Literary Intelligence. We are informed that Mrs. Corolla H. Criswell, a wtar of some magnitude in the literary world, is about finishing « “Sequel to Uncle Tom's Cabin,” which will shortly be ready for the publishers. We have no doubt of its being as well received as Mrs. Stowe's work, as it is reasonable to suppose that the millions ‘of readers of that book will be anxious to know the fate of the characters therein represented. As an item of news, we would mention that ‘The Planter’s Home,” by Robert Criswell, is about being dramatized by Christy’s Minstrels. “Grabam’s Magazine,” for February, the conductors of which seem to be infused with new vigor, for they have imparted to the publication almost a new cha- acter, is before us. The ability formerly displayed in the articlgs, and the artistic excellence of the en- gravings, are enhanced to a degree that almost for- bids rivalship. The articles in the present number are exceedingly interesting, and the engravings are by Sartain, Devereux, and other firstrate artists, who | have been engaged by the publisher, whose judgment | in the selection is sufficiently testified to in the beauty | of the pictures that are presented. Read the “Black Letters.” In cataloguing the list of new works which we | have received, we must first notice those which have reference to the general social and political condition of the country, for as those questions are of para- mount importance, so anything haying reference thereto claims immediate attention. The ‘Report of the Commissioner of Patents” is ‘8 most instructive and pleasing volume, for it con- tains luminous accounts of the many excellent in- ventions which have been applied to advance the science of agricniture, and shows at a glance the pre- sent condition of that branch of industry. The ‘Sixth Annual Report of the Board of Regentsof the Smith- sonian Institution” is likewise valuable, as it shows | the operations, expenditure, and condition of that national institution, in which is centered 80 much ge- eral interest. ‘“Disturnell’s Railway, Steamship, and Telegraph Book, for January, 1853," is a com- mentary on the progress of the age, though only a guidebook, for it displays the wonders that have ‘been wrought within the past year. Thus, not only is it valuable as a guide, but as a history. “Alma- nack Francais des Etats-Unis” is a similar work, and intended for the use of those Frenchmen’ who take an interest in this great republic. We now come to worksof peculiar local importance. Amongst these is Mr. Mullaly’s disquisition on ‘‘the Milk Trade in New York and Vicinity,” which contains statistical | and general information on that subject, and enters Tate forious details with regard to the extensive adul- that are carried on by imilkmen. A pam- | on Mr. Whitworth’s street sweeping machine is y the serious attention of the City Fathers. in considering. the question of dirt would likewise do well to peruse Mr. J. ith’s work on the macadamization of streets | towns. ipropos to the Aldermen. We must acknowledge the receipt of the report of the trial which took place | in October last, in the Supreme Court of New Jer- sey, Essex circnit, relative to an action brought by the American Print Works Company against Mr. Lawrence, ex-Mayor of this city for having destroyed their stores in Exchange place, in 1835, for the pur- of preventing the extension of a conflagration g.__As many important legal points were im in this trial, the report Breat value. the works in general literature which we have received we must notice Mr. Furniss’s “ Land of the Caxsar and Doge,” which is published by Messrs. Cornish, Lamport & Co. It is an historical and artistic description of Italy, and may be said to be a work containing much that is interesting. Mr. john 8. Taylor has issued a curious book, entitled “ Pun and Earnest,” written by the author of “ Mus- | ings of an Invalid.” The title is a true index to the | contents, for it is a miscellany of trifles and serious matter. “The Voices of Life,” by Mrs. Leadernier, published by Messrs. Cornish, Lamport & Co., are oa ae Me of the gad realities of life, and tinctured with the melancholy feelings of the ee antec) sat is re to support her | family er pen. To se intive sonnets the stron; a4 contrast is afforded ty Mr. Hirst’s comedy of “Grub, Mudge & Co.,” which was successfully | pe at a ae theatre, and has since published by the Messrs. Stokes, of that city. Mesars. Dunigan Brothers, of Fulton street, have is- sued Dr. White’s “ Life of Mra. Eliza A. Seton,” foundress of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, which all Roman Catholics will perase with pleasure. The magazine literature of the month is as diver- sified as usual. “The United States Review" con- tains several valnable articles, which demonstrate the determination of the conductors of this new publica- tion to give it a high character. A few advance sheets, which have been sent to us, embrace the editor's opinions on the late debate in Congress on Cuba. “ Minifies’ Mechanical Drawing Book for Self-Instruction,” is characteristically excellent. The ‘ Missionary Herald” contains the usual amount of valuable and curious information relative to religious Propagandism. The ‘ American Polytechnic Jour- nal” is replete with scientific disqnisitions, which are both interesting and important. On the subject of medical science we have received three valuable The American Journal of the Medical Sciences,” ‘ Braithwaite’s Retrospect of Pra 1 Medicine and Surgery,” and ‘Journal of Organic and Medical Chemistr; ll of which contain matter peculiarly interesting to the faculty. The “ Illus- trated Magazine of Art,” published by Mr. Mont- ery, of Spruce street, is more than usually enter- ining, and is embellished with beautiful wood en- gravings of subjects which lately formed topics of conversation and serious consideration. Amongst the repablications of the works of foreign authors we have received several. Messrs. Hender- son & Co., of Philadelphia, have issued a little vol- ume containing the aphorisms and poetical conccits | of Shakspeare, which will be a most valuable com- ion to the literary man. Mr. W.Gowans, of New ‘ork, has published Allan Ramsay's beautiful pas- toral comedy of ‘‘ The Gentle Shepherd.” Mr. Scrib- ner has issued McLoud’s “‘ Life of Sir Walter Scott.” We have also received Mr. Maturin’s ‘* Bianca—a tale of Erin and Italy,” which is a powerfully written Tomance and every way calculated to interest the reader who delights in that species of literature. Messrs. Tallis & Co. have issued parts 11 and 12 of “ Lodge’s Portraits,” which contain some admirable | Bary 35 a. ‘The Art Journal” is, as usual, replete | wil menifold beauties. a | We must conclude the list of new publications with | acknowledging the bs of the large engraving of Mary Queen of Scots, which was presented to the sul rato the ‘‘ Albion.” It was engraved by Mr. Ritchie, from Wandsforde’s picture, and may be = said to exhibit artistic ability of a high order. e ‘Memoirs on the Physical and Political Geo- arphy, on New Granada,” with a new map, by Gen. . C. Mosquera, ex-President of the republic, and member of several scientific societies, has also been received. It has been translated by Theodore Dwight, and read before the American Geographical and mag eter! a New York. This mphlet a well-arranged and very comprehen- ee jitome of the most interesting Facts relating to one of the most important countries of the Southern continent, a large portion of which have been col- lected by himself in the course of the long-continued 8, 7 wee and others, which he has prose- cuted durin, aided by the best instruments, and many peculiar ad- vantages afforded by his official stations and exten- sive acquaintance.

But, on taking up his residence in New York, a few months ago, as @ merchant, he thought it more appropriate to communicate them to our newly-formed Geogra- Soctety, by whom they wer heard with the a ed expressions of gratification. He memoir, which oceupied three evenings in reading, is now published, with a map, executed in the best style, and several tables, which bear the evidence of great labor and study; and, all together, presents an aston- | picture of the nataral riches and commercial facil of New Granada, whose position, and the great ay of nations across the Isthmus of Pana- ma, places it among the first on the map of the world. The clear arrangement and concise style of this work reflects great credit on the taste and abilities of the author, while the great amount of information embraced attest his extraordinary research and accu- racy; and the patriotic spirit which directed his ef- forts are honorable at once to himself and his coun- try. The appearance of this valuable work at the it time is enliarly op] , a8 Our increasing ourse with New Granada, especially that portion which extends through the most important part of the Isthmns, renders authentic and detailed informa- tion imperatively necessary.

Judges t = Bosworth, Jan. 22—Thomas E. Davis and Courtlandt Palmer vs. The Mayor, Aldermen and Commonal- ty of the City of New York.—Mr.D. Field continued his ent on behalf of the , a8 follows: —May it please the Court, the next point I wish to call to your attention, is whether or not the Court had jurisdiction, as aepucee y the face of the com- plaint. 1 contend, in the first place, that they had no jurisdiction to award an injunction to restrain the passage of a resolution, and there are no authorities hat can be adduced to substantiate such a pro} tion; for, since the time when the great seal of Eng. jand was taken from the ecclesiastical chancellors, to the present day, no authority can be found, in | which that court, although it has been filled by & succession of chancellors apt to amplify their juris- diction, has undertaken to enjoin the passage of any resolution whatever. Supposing, however, that the resolution passed, can you enjoin its being carried into effect? I contend that this Court has no jurisdit- tion whatever to inquire into the manner in which the Common Council of this city exercised their dis- cretion. Now, this depends upon three questions. If it was legally assembled, had it a discretion in t toe the granting of this railroad, and if it ee can any court control that discretion? The counsel on the opposite side contends that the assembled, and therefore that all question of discretion isat an end ; | that they were not legally assembled when they | passed this resolution, because previous to impeenee eefecetirien uraday juently, their act was until Monday, and that, | void, and the Court has jurisdiction to restrain such | anact. They adjourned, itis admitted, from Thurs- day night to Monday morning, and the law of the State, section four of the act of 1449, under which they act, aie “neither Board shall stand ad- journed for a longer peed than three days, without ‘the consent of the whole body.” But on this point the practice of the government is so clear that it can- notadmit ofa doubt. The provisions of the constitu- tion of the United States are precisely similar, for the fourth subdivision of the fifth section says, “neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days. By areference to the Congressional Globe, when Mr. Justice Campbell was a member of the House, I find that the session commenced on the 4th December, and that the House adjourned without the consent of the Senate from Thursday to Monday morning; and every a's} who is at all conversant with the business at Washington knows the fact, that | the Senate, being generally ahead in its business, adjourns more commonlythan the House, and that it is common for the Senate to adjourn from Thursday to Monday, and that the House goes on with business during Friday and Saturday. Can you, therefore, say | that everything done in Congress is void? The observations will apply precisely to the Legislature | | of this State. Now, with reference to the second roposition, supposing the Common Council legally peeled: aie a the state of the authoriries upon the point, whether or not they had the discretion to authorize this railroad to be laid in Broan. aes un- gar’s charter, section 2, pages 14 and 15, Montgo- | mery’s charter, section 16, page 99, which gave the | Common Council power to ‘ establish, to appoint, to direct and re; streets—to late” all matters appertaining to the lo whatever is necessary in respect to those streets, and to make and govern them in every | 1! respect. The same power is given to Congress by the constitution of the United States; and the Court knows very well that in the case of Gibbons and Og- den, the Supreme Court held that Congress, by the force of the words ‘to regulate,” had complete con- trol over the whole sul of foreign navigation and commerce, the expression in the constitution being | “to regulate commerce with foreign nations.” The | fourth subdivision of the eighth section is : “ Can- | gress shall have power to establish post offices and post roads,” and nobody can doubt that Congress has not that power; and here we have the charters of the city, giving power to the corporation to establish, direct, order, amend and alter, from time to time, the streets, lanes and roads of the city. Does not that es | to the corporation as ae power. as Congress | under the constitution of the United States, to estab- lish post roads, a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy through- out the United States’ cases, which had been decided, cited the Selowing: iving power to the corporation to fix railroads in | the streets of a city or village, &c.:—7 Barber, 538 | and 546, Drake against the Hudson River Railroad | Company; 10 Barber, p. 26, Plant against the Long | Island ilroad Company; 10 Barber, Chapman against the Albany and Schenectady Railroad Com- | pany, 17 Barber, 554, Whitehall’s case, Adams ys. Saratoga and Washington Railroad Company; | 8 Dana, page 289, Lexington and Ohio Railroad ys. Appleyot. Now I come to the next proposition; which is, that you have no right or jurisdiction to terfere with that discretion, and the various authori- | | ties that I shall cite, show not only an entire absence of authority in favor of it, but most conclusively that the courts have not, and never had, and nobody will ever pretend that they had, any such jurisdiction. I will first cite some English cases upon the subject where it is laid down as a rule by the courts to terfere in cases of property or funds, but never to in- terfere in any manner with public functionaries so long as they confine themselves within the exercise of their duties, which are prescribed by law. He cited the following cases:—lst, Milne and Craig, At- General vs. The Mayor of Liverpool; iis v. Earl Grey, 6 Simond’s Reports, 214; and He cited numerous cases in the American courts, in of this proposition, among which were Mar- bary vs. Mattison, 1 Cranch, page 137; Meseral vs. ‘A long discussion here | ensued between Mr. l'ield, Mr. Bronson, Mr.O'Conor, | and the Court, as to whether the counsel for the de- | fendants could offer anything in reply to the remarks of Mr. Van Buren in reference to the fraudulent | character of the it; but it was ultimately decided | by Judge Duer, that he must confine himself to the The learned counsel concluded his remarks by contending that the Com- mon Council had shown no disrespect tothe Court in | Mr. O'Conor next followed, on behalf of the corpo- ration. He said—If your Honors please, there are some circumstances brought before the Court that are calculated somewhat to disturb the regular flow | of justice in this case. The parties who moved for this attachment bring before the Court certain papers, with a view of showing, and upon those pa- pers intend to argue, that the party against whom the present motion is made — Alder- man Sturtevant—was guilty of some personal disrespect towards the individual judge who issued or allowed the injunction in question. It is very certain that in bringing that before the | Court, the learned counsel will not refer to it merely in support of an argument that the passage of that resolution is an equivalent for a compliance with the Code in respect to the service of the complaint upon Alderman Sturtevant; but his object will be to in- flame the passions of you and your learned associate who sits at your side, and who issued the injunction, | and as far as possible to cause a different sentiment | than mere judgment to inflnence his feelings in the advice he may give you. Iregret that such circum- stances should appear in this case, for I deem it to be one of the greatest possible importance, and one in which the judgment of the Court should be un- swayed by private feeling or ion. I know very | well that the learned Judge will endeavor to restrain as far aa possible the promptings of a feeling of re- sentment against what may seem to be intentional personal disrespect. I say ‘‘may seem,” for I donot | think it was so intended; but J have learned by ex- ery that Judges, as well as aldermen, are men. | find it said by one of the wisest Judges who ever sat, and whose opinions are most frequent- | ly cited, “That exciting cases make bad pre- cedents; they inflame the passions, seduce the judgment, and silence the voice of reason ; | such cases make bad precedents and are cautiously | to be followed.” I hope aa little as possible that that remark will be fonnd applicable to this case, and more than that Iam not disposed to say about the resolution in question. I am not here to discuss that resolution nor its propriety, and 1 have only to | say, if this Court has any jurisdiction in respect to | that resolution at all, it arises under a provision of the statute which has no application to the motion which 1am here called upon to argue; I mean that provision | contained in section 10, 278, second Revised Statutes, having reference to the power of the court to punish criminally persons guilty of certain acts of criminal | contempt and misbehavior; but, however the Alder- | men who passed that resolution are involved in an | oon under that act, I think I shall be able to show, by the several subdivisions—however objec- | tionable some persons may deem the form of that resolution, or I may deem it, or have a right to ex- | press an opinion npon it—it does not come within any of the provisions authorising the punishment of it asa criminal contempt. But I shall say no more | about that resolution; I conceive it is improperly brought here, and for no other purpose than the | evil one to which I have referred. The learned counsel then sabmitted the following points :— The injunction was not intended to restrain, does not by ita terms apply to, and does not purport to restrain, the Common Council from re-considering the resolution in question, and agreeing to pasa or to reject the same. It rejects by implication the proposal of the complaint that such a restraint shall »¢ imposed. This, it is presumed, was because the it able were frivolous.

There is no preoedent of an injunction to restrain a municipal corporation from adopting a initiatory, which in themselves vest no right. the consummation of a right or title in the intended grantees or licensees. It may have pointed to, and intended to restrain, the act which was to vest in them an authority or license. ‘ouncil had no such effect. In order to vest any power or au- thority under the resolution, it was necessary that the licensees should tender, and that the clerk, as an ex- ecutive officer of the corporation, should file, an agree- ment in writing to accept the conditions.

The objection that the ordinance in question isan execu- tive act, as presented on this motion by the plaintiffs, is suicidal. The injunction only prohibits the cor- poration from doing any act which, if done, would be an operative grant.

The jadiciary deliberate, it | is true; but not in the sense in which the Legislature deliberates. It is the deliberation of research. It seeks not to establish a rule of future action, but onl to find what is the law. When that is ascertained, | its duty is simple and direct. It has no discretionary authority or moral right to do otherwise than simply to declare the rule it hasascer:aiyed. The executive power is organized merely to perform the acts which the Legislature has determined upon as wise and ex- pedient. Nothing like deliberation or discretion properly belongs to the executive power, asa simple abstract idea. The legislative power is the will of the State; the judicial is its memory; the executive isitshand. The first creates the rule of action, the second is the living record of its existence, the last carries it into execution. | The Court then adjourned until Saturday next, at 11 o'clock, when ex-Chief Justice Bronson will reply on the part of the plaint | Message of the Governor of Maine. Governor Crosby, the newly elected whig Gover- nor of Maine, was inaugurated on the 18th inst. He arrived in Augusta on the 17th, from Belfast, accompanied by the Legislative Committee appointed to notify him of his election. He was met about four miles out by the Mayor of Augusta and a party of | citizens, who escorted him to town. Goy. Crosby, in commencing, alludes to the pecu- liar circumstances by which he was called to the executive chair, and hopes they may tend to the pro- motion of harmony in the doings of the Legislature. In alluding to the late Presidential election, he says:— Ths election at this time of a New England man to this high position, by the almost unanimous voice of the States, as uttered through their several electoral colleges, following, as it does, close upon that crisis in whieh sec: tional partialities and prejudices, arraying the Sonth against the North, threatened the dismemberment of the Union, may be hailed as an auspicious omen. It is an event which may well give courage to the faint-hearted, crush the treascnable hopes and schemes of the agitator and disunionist—of this generation at least—and strengthen the faith of all in the perpetuity of the Union. It isan event, in the occurrence of which we. as men of New England and of the Union, forgetting all party predilections, may well exult. The death of Webster is appropriately and_elo- quently noticed, as is alsg the termination of the Lrief existence of the French republic. Allnding to the state of the treasury, the Governor recommends a scutinizing examination of the State | expenditures, and retrenchment wherever it can be judiciously made ; yet he would not have their eco- | homy he eagen to parsimony. The compeusation jeg by the people to their servants should be such, he says, as will command the services of the most | competent. | He also recommends such a course of action as will contribute largely towards satisfying the people that sessions of the Legislature are not protracted for the gratification of its members, and the neces- | sity for a resort to an amendment of the constitution does not exist. He calls attention to the excess of legislation, and | remarks that the perpetual changes and revision of cones enactments are the prolific source of legis- | jation. The causes which tend to protract the sessions of , the Legislature are alluded to, such as special legis- lation ; discussing irrelevant subjects ; receiving pe- titions beyond the time assigned, under a suspension of the rules, &c. The subject of the developement of the natural re- | sonrces of the State is commended to the attention of the Legislature. The discovery of gold in Cali- fornia has aroused and quickened the spirit of ad- yenture in the young and enterprising, who are go- ing from the State by hundreds and thousands. New fields of enterprise must be opened for the returning adventurer at home, or he will be tempted to emi- | grate permanently. | The Governor suggests various means by which this can be accomplished; and, among others, the adoption of a wise and liberal policy, which shall in- | duce the investment of capital in the various depart- ments of manual and mechanical labor, with the pledged faith of the State that rights acquired under that policy shall be respected and protected. The appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to | complete the geological survey of the State, is recom- mended. Referring to the recent action of the authorities of Massach Maine, Goy. Crosby submits whether, in the event that the commonwealth is still desirous of disposing of her interest in those lands, sound policy does not require that this State should be the parchnser, pro- vided the title could be secured for a fair and reason- able consideration. The Governor closes his message appropriate remarks upon the prosperity y and congratalates the Legislature upon the addition- al evidence ‘ded by the ready acquiescence of the It of the recent Presidential cag: still existe an all-pervading sent nent to the Union, stronger than the to be adop ent, and thet, in | she goes. | last yeor balance within the sum of $940 71; and | taxation. of the Governor of Michi of Michigan sent to the sensible , from reer The following, of legislators generally, in too the part a tical point of view, is wholesome advice : ‘he general laws of the State require but slight amendment. The fewer changes made, unless im- peratively demanded, the better. It is less injurious, and far less vexatious, to accommodate ourselves to small imperfections in the laws, when discovered, than to be constantly involved in that legal uncer- tainty which has heretofore tantalized the people. Not much complaint is made against our statutes ; litigation is diminishing; the laws are more thoroth- ly undersiond, and there is not 60 much doubt as to cir true meaning and effect as formerly. We have had too much unwise and improvident legislation. It is time to check its evils. y The Governor says the financial condition of the State was never more healthy and Langer, Sh No State, he maintains, pays the interest on its indebt- edness, and all bona fide claims upon the Seamnty with greater punctuality.

The surplus in the Treasury is abundantly sufficient for this. In addition to this surplus, the specific taxes soon payable by the railroad companies will probably exceed $65,000. The annual expenses of the State government for | the year 1851, were $90.898 35; for 1852, $58,207 23. ‘The estimated expenses for 1853 are $65,000; for 1854, $40,000.

In relation to banks, the Gova%orrecommends the | passage of a general banking law, and gives the fol- lowing pertinent reasons:— ° Past experience has made our people exceedingly silat jealous of all such institutions; but it may be proper | for you to inquire whether it is not better to have in our midst banks upon a sound and healthy basis, which we can control, than to suffer our State to be | flooded with the paper currency from abroad, most of | which is not, in reality, worth the paper on which the notes are engraved. At present we are giving character to the issues of banks about which we actually know nothing—in whose management we have no participation—and | showed him pieces similar to those he found in his are thus literally paying a large tribute for what | generally, in the end, proves to be a great curse. If the other States will permit the issue and circulation of a worthless irredeemable currency, it should be our object to lessen, if we cannot entirely destroy, the evil. Experienced bankers estimate the amount of foreign bank notes in circulation in this State at $3,000,000; domestic, $600,000; gold and silver coin in actual circulation; $500,000—maki: in the aggregate, $4,100,000. It will be seen that at five per cent, a very reasonable estimate, we are annuall: paying the bankers of other States $150,000. Much | of this currency is the production of unsound banks and fraudulent bankers. Some of the banks are | placed at points almost inaccessible to the bill hold- ers. Large amounts are issued by Eastern banks, ee for circulation in the West. Even if we had a larger number of sound and solvent banks within our own borders, the inferior might take the lace of the superior currency. It is a difficult mat- te to manage and regulate; but of one thing we could be certain, that upon all the capital employed for such purpose in the State, we could levy a tax, and thus receive some compensation for the fran- chises enjoyed. Mesange of the Governor of Wisconsin. Gov. Farwell, of Wisconsin, sent his annual mes- sage to the Legislature on the 13th inst. The docu- | ment commends itself for its brevity, while at the | same time it presents the main features of interest in & most comprehensive manner. The Governor con- gratulates the Legislature on the condition and pros- pects of the State, and says:— In respect to many ad ly favorable position that cannot well be overlooked, either by the emigrant seeking a home in the West, or by those wishing to make safe and profitable in- vestments of capital. It appears by the returns ot itazes, she oecupiesahigh- | the last general census, that the ratio of increase in | n greater, and the health of the population has by people better, in Wisconsin, than in any other State in the Union. And in soil, climate, mineral resources and commercial position, she may justly claim to be J equal, in many respects superior, to the other Western States. With a large area of territory, and compara- | tively a very small part unsuited to cultivation, and all of it fayorably situated in respect to wood and wa- ter, she offers superior inducements to the agricultur- ist, and is destined, ere long, to become one of the richest States in the Union, in the productions of the soil. The western portion of our State, while the soil is of the best quality for agriculture, also contains exhaustless peda of mnineral, which are only awaiting the application of capital and labor to enrich those whose attention and enterprise they may enlist. And it is somewhat remarkable that while it is known that so much wealth lies hidden only a few feet below the surface, in this mineral region, as ia seeagen | attested by successful experiments already made, and the very able report of the Hon. David D. | Owen, a United States geologist, that comparatively so little has yet been done to measure its resources, and make them available to the urgent demands of trade and commerce. Our lumber interestis by no to ascertain its extent, the amount of lumber manu- foctured in the State, annually, cannot be less than one hundred and fifty million’ feet. It is estimated that there are within this State, over twenty millions of acres of Congress lands, embracing about two- thirds of the ent tate, a great portion of which is now surveyed and in market. This immense tract of country is generally of excellent soil, and many | poe of it richly charged with silver, copper, lend, iron, and other valuable minerals. It is cer- tainly a question of momentous importance to us, whet disposition ought to be made by the Congress of the United States, of this two-thirds portion of our State. Various propositions are now pending before Congress, respecting the unsold government aads in the different States. And whatever may finally be the prevailing measure of the general gov- ernment cn this subject, it must necessarily greatly affect us, favorably or otherwise, however insensibly y be felt elsewhere. It must be conceded that tate, at least, is deeply interested in having lands brought into actual occupancy and culti- xtion as speedily as possible. If, therefore, their donation to actual settiers, and in limited quantities, | will, by the encouragement of emigration, be most likely to produce this result, then it follows that the proposition embracing this principle isthe one to re- ceive our countenance and support. The treasury, is in a sound and creditable condition. Wisconsin owes no debt, and pays as The receipts and expenditures for the | means unimportant. From the best means we have | \ of the total disbursements ($134,593 33) for 1352, | rather more than one-third, $46,200, was on account | of liabilities incurred previous to Jan. 1,1852. We do not see from this statement why, with good | management and reasonable economy, our State expenses may not be kept within $100,000 a year. Some alterations are needed in the assessment laws, the Governor tells us, to eqnaliaze the burthens of A Farturrt, Servant.—The New Orleans Picayune relates the following little incident, which will, it says, go as far to counteract the baneful calumpies of ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin” as pages of de- clamation and argument:—"A gentleman travelling down the Mississippi, not long since, became ac- quainted on the boat with a lady, who, with her six | ebildren, was on her way to California, She had one servant, a negro man, who had gone to only ‘afifornia alone, worked hard, and sent one thou- Ca | sand dollars to his mistress to enable her and her | little ones to come out to the far d in relation to the public lands in | ant gold region. FROM Grates’ INTERESTIN -Private let- ters, written by some of the employees of the Bel- ian colony of Fera Paz, under date of October 31, state that the government of Guatemala was on the eve of declaring the forfeiture of the rights bestowed on the Belgian Colonization Company, by the cc tracts made formerly between it and the Gaatema- lean government. The consul-general of Belyinin d failed in his negotiations for preventing the ition of this measure, which affects deeply the jan and Evropean interests, BY Drowsina~--A negro arm, jumped feom one of r wharf, last week, and all viband enden ne Mains Law.—We have acen it stated, J | the Renita coon) pieces like them, which he stated | he was committed to Parvare Prorerrr Lar Desrrvorion oF Hartford Courant of Jan. 21, that pk the dec’ in Rhode Island, onl, provisions pe- y certain culiar to the Jaw in that State, and. avoided elsewhere. Judge Pitman of the District Court also gave his opinion, which seems to be fatal to the provision authorizing a of intoxi- cating liquors, without giving the owner a trial by jury. js is regarded as one of the most important provisions of the law. Judge Pitman says :— ‘Tho Legislature has no right, by an act, confiscate the property of the citizen ; it may be forfeited by a vio- lation of law, but this must be done without affecting the rights of the owner thereof toa ey trial. But the ob- ject of this law does not appear to be so muoh “for the suppression of drinking housca and tippling shops," as {ta title would seem to import, as for the destruction of intoxtcating liquors—because ‘they may be injurious to the community. But thoxe who drafted the law, no doubt knew that could not be done without making com- nsation to the owner thereof, asthe constitution of hode Island, and most of the other State constitutions provide that private property cannot be taken for public ‘use without just compensation. To evade this provision, it is made criminal to have this kind of property, not merely in “ drinking houses and tippling ahops,” but ‘in any store, shop, warehouse, or other b &e., (sec. 11) with intent to sell the same, and by what man- ner of process, and how it is to be destroyed, we have seen—evidently with a view to avade the’ trial by jury. Such an evasion is as illegal as a denial of this right ad if such @ law is to be justified, it can only be by adding another provision by which the owner shall be compen- sated for the destruction of his property. INTEMPERANCE AND CuoLeRa.—The pastor of 8t. Luke's church, Rochester, in a recent discourse, aliuded to the melancholy occurrences of last sum- mer, when 60 large a number of le were cut down by cholera. He stated that of the whole num- bes of ‘deaths, one-fifteenth were nominally of St. Luke's parish, and of the Protertant portion of the population one-seventh were in fal connected with his congregation. In fifty day she attended fifty funerals. He adds :—Never did I more heartily de- precate the vice of drunkenneas than when on some of those sad funeral occasions; I was not only forced to think: of the ghastly tenant of the coffin as having, as it were, reeled and staggered into eternity, but ‘was also forced to see living drunkards as eM ia ants to the place of burial, and so under the influ- ence of intoxication, at the very grave, as to be unfit to render the needed aid to those who bury the dead. On one such occasion I remonstrated with the only persons, four in number, who constituted the com- pany at the grave, and all of whom were partially in- voxicated; and within three days they had all died cf the cholera, and were in their graves, near the : pot where I had forewarned them of their danger. Tur Counrerrertina Case my Bostoy.—The examination of Wm. W. Wilson before the Police Court was terminated yesterday afternoon. Alder- man Isaac Cary, of the New England Bank Note Company, Asa Law, and George G. Smith, testified in relation to the plates, rollers, &c. Mr. John R. Hall, cashier of the Bank of North America, testified concerning the counterfeit coins that were found upon Wilson's person, that Wilson showed him in were made by a man of the highest respectability in Canada. Officer Holmes stated that Wilson, in a conversation with him in Constable Clapp’s office, possession; and said that they would be passing here goon, Sufficient evidence appeared to warrant Justice Russell in holding the defendant for trial,and on two of the complaints bail was fixed 0 $2'000 each, on another $3,000, and the other two $2,000 each—in all, $17,000—and failing to secure surety It was authoritatively stated that three additional complaints were to be entered.—Boston Transcript Jan. 19. Sryeurar Fact.—It is a very remarkable fact in the history of the United States, that none of the reat names among the American elected Presidents ad children. No one who was ever re-elected has hada son. Washington had no children; he held office eight years. John Adams had children; he was not re-elected. Jefferson had no children; he was re-elected, and held office eight years. Madison had no children; held the Presidency eight years. Monroe had no son; held office eight years. “John Quincy Adams had sons; he was not re-elected. Jackson had no children; he was re-elected. Van Buren had children; not re-elected. Harri- ton died; Polk had no children; Taylor died; and now, among the great names without children, is the next elected President after Taylor—President Pierce, who, by an accident, is childless. The event alone, added to his well-known indifference to holding power, will make him re-elected like his great childless predecessors; and those who live will sce our prediction verified. Murperovus Arrray at Scantic, Coxn.—John Martin, Patrick Eager, and Patrick Mooney, have been lodged in the jail in this city,on a charge of murder in the first degree. These persons, with three others, stopped at the private residence of an Irish family in Scantic village, (East Windsor,) last Sun- day night, and soon got into a general fight. Two of the six left in the early part of the affray, but the four remaining carried on a bloody and most horrible fight with their fists and with knives and clubs. One of them was killed outright. His body was badly mangled and cut. Eager had a leg broken, and was cut and bruised very badly. Martin was also horri- bly bruised, and he was cut in the thigh and arm. he one killed, and Eager, and Martin, were so | mangled that they did not look like human beings, Hartford Times Tur Garpiner Crat.—In noticing the re- turn of the Commissioners who were sent to Mexico to search for the mines of Dr. Gardiner and Mr. Mears, the Alexandria Gazelfe says:—“We under- stand that “Lagunillias,” the township in which the pretended mines were located, has been thorough explored; and not only has no mine been discovered, but no person could be found who had ever heard of a mine of silver or quicksilver within the entire depart- | ment of Rio Verde, to which department the town- ship of Lagunillias (less in extent than the District of Columbia) belongs. The result of this mission confirms in every particular the official report of Mr. | George W. Slocum, United States Agent, to the De- partment of State, on the 7th of May last, and re- cently published by the Select Committee of the House of Representatives.” | Pensons or Conor From | A bill has been reported in the Virginia se of Delegates, which provides for the appoint- ment of overseers, who ure to be required to hire out, at public auction, all free persons of color, to the highest bidder, and to pay into the State trea- sury the sums accruing from’ such hire. The suns are to be devoted in future to sending free persons of color beyond the limits of the State. At the ex- piration of five years, all free persons of color re- maining in the State are to be sold into slavery to | the highest bidder, at public auction, the proceeds of such sales to be paid into the public treasur; provided that said free persons of color shall bx jowed the privilege of becoming the slaves of any free white person whom they may select, on the péyment by such person of a fair price, Sap Accipent at Coivmpvs, Onto.—On Sun- day morning, bout nine o'clock, the body of J.
