Superior Court, New York.—An inter
•stingcase in an action of trover was decided in
he above court on Tuesday. Andrew Coyle,
ihc plaintiff, moSeptember last had his pocket
picked in Philadelphia of a pocket book contain
ing among other things a post note ot the Patri
otic Bank at Washington, for SSOO, dated July,
1839, payable in one year, to the order of Gales &
Seaton. He immediately advertised his loss in
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Wash
ington papers, and notified the Bank not to pay
lithe note. It appears that shortly after the note
wa s lost, the defendant, Edward D. I’orden, pur
chased it from the house of Horace Bean & Co.
at New Orleans, and paid for it in bills of the
Brandon (Miss.) Bank, for which Bean & Co.
allowed him only 35 cents per dollar, and char
ged him the post note at par. The defendant
brought the post note to New York, and ottered
to sell it to a broker in Wall street, who informed
him that the note had been advertised as being
stolen. The defendant then applied to Bean &
Co. for an explanation of the transaction, and
was by them informed that a few days before
they sold him the. note, they had purchased it at
their counter, from a stranger of whom they had
ro knowledge. It farther appeared that Bean &
Co. purchased the note at 25 per cent, discount,
and paid for it in New Orleans money, which
was then at a discount of six per cent.
The defendant did not doubt that the note had
been lost by the plaintiff, though he refused to
restore it on the ground that he had fairly obtain-
I jt, and was entitled to it.
I The Court charged the jury that the plaintiff
pnust show that the note was his, and had been
Most or stolen, and that the defendant had posses
sion °f the same note and refused to give it up.
it must also appear that the circumstances under
which the note was transferred were suspicious,
and not according to an ordinary transaction of
|the kind.
The jury found for the plaintiff SSOO, being the
amount of lh#note, and costs. — Halt. Amer.
Conscientiousness of a Hixnoo.—The con
scientiousness of some of the natives of the East
ilndies, is indeed remarkable. They are the de
luded victims of superstition, and the slaves of
I ierror in various ways—hut nothing will induce
■them to do what they belive to be wrong. In the
(East but little Value, comparatively, is set upon
Ihurnan life. When a Hindoo finds that his mor
tal career is about being terminated, he will talk
! with his friends of his dissolution, with compo
sure and even cheerfulness—and if near the Gan
ges, or any other sacred river, will desire to be
carried to its bank, that he may there expire—nor
will he do any thing to preserve life, that may
be in any way contrary to the rules of his caste
5 or religion.
A traveller in India relates the following anec-
Idote in point. One of the natives who was em
ployed in an important post at an English settle
ment, being prevailed on in a dangerous illness
to receive a visit from an European physician, it
I was found that by long, abstenence, which in
■sickness the Hindoos often carry to excess, the
’stomach would no longer retain anything. The
disorder being of a putrid kind, the Doctor wish
ed to give bark in strong wine—but the Hindoo
positively refused to take it—“-notwithstanding
many arguments which were used both by the
Doctor and the Governor who accompanied him,
and who had a considerable degree of influence
over the Hindoo. They promised that it should
remain an inviolable secret—but the conscien
tious Hindoo replied that he could not conceal
it from himself—and a few days afterwards fell a
victim to his perseverance in what he conceived
to be a duty.

Dr. Franklin.—ln the Memoirs of the Life

opinions expressed by that distinguished man, in
relation to our fellow cuntryman :
“Os all the celebrated persons, whom, in my
life, I have chanced to see, Dr. Franklin, both
Irom his appearance and his conversation, seem
ed to me the most remarkable. His venerable
patriarchal appearance, the simplicity of his man
ner and language, and the novelty of his observa
tions, least the novelty of them at that time, to
me, impressed me with an opinion of him as
one of the most extraordinary men that ever ex

* Liverpool, June 20.
, There has been a good demand throughout the
s week from the trade, which, being supported by
j the operations of speculators, (who have taken
. 10,600 American) prices have remained steady, and
the market has closed firmly, except for Brazil and
East India, which descriptions are again rather
! lower. Exporters have taken about 1000 bales
; American, 300 Surat, and 270 Bengal. The busi
-1 ness of the week amounts to 38,270 bales, and
, comprises 240 Sea Island at 13£d to 18£d; 12,700
Bowed to 6}; 18,460 Mobile Alabama and Ten

business done to-day amounts to 5000 bales, with
-1 ou - an 3 change on the previous rates of the week,
June 27.—Extensive purchases have been made
’ both by the trade and speculators, without, how
ever, producing any alteration in prices. Specula
tors h ive taken SSOO American, and exporters SOO
American and 300 Surat. It has been ascertained
, that during the last six months, about 2000 bags of
Sea Island have been forwarded into the country

We have had an aciive Cotton market since Sa

Cotton —The revival of activity in the Cotton
1 market, noticed in our preceding report of the 23d
inst., was of short duration; it stopped on the mor
-1 uiug °1 the 24th, since which, the transactions have
i been on ali nited scale; they have, however, taken
, place without any decline in prices.
C The sales from the 22d to the 27th inst. include
7461 8., consisting of 3167 B. New Orleans, at f.
69 to f. 100 (this last price for a choice lot of 28
8.):—19C6 Mobile, at f. 69 to f. 89 .—2264 Upland,
! at f. 68 to f. 84 50; —99 B. Pernambuco, at f. 110 j
and 25 B. Porto Rico, at f. 125 ; —the whole duty
1 paid.
The supplies received within the same period,
have amounted to 9086 8., viz; 9064 B. U. States,
and 22 B. Guadeloupe.
New York, July 18.
Coffee. —We notice no change in the market for
article ; the stock has been increased by the arri
val of a cargo of Brazil, since our last. The sales
1 embrace 14u0 bags Brazil, part to go out of the
! market, at 9 a
Cuba, 9| a 10£, all 4 mos.; 300 Bt. Domingo, S| ;
and 100 Laguayra, 10, both cash. By auction 19
bags Mocha sold at 16 a 16£c. rash.
Cotton. —The Cotton market since our last has
continued inactive, the demand during the period
ing been almost entirely confined to parcels for
home consumption. There is a disposition, how
ever, both on the part of buyers and sellers to await
later advices from Europe, now anxiously expect
ed. The sales include 850 bales Upland and Flor
ida at 7 a cents. 500 Mobile, a 11; and 50
New Orleans, 9 a 10y, forming a total for the week
of 3200 bales.
Flour. —The market for Western since our last,
owing to the unfavorable state of the weather, it
being oppressively warm, and the absence of other
than a very limited demand from the Eastward,
has exhibited very little animation, and yesterday
it closed heavily, though as yet no particular
change in prices can be said to have taken place.
We continue former quotations for Genesee and
Ohio, though for the low qualities of the latter,
rather lower rates have in some instances been
acceded to. There is no Troy or Ohio, via New
Orleans, in first hands. The stock of Southern con
tinues very moderate, and prices of most descrip
tions have an upward tendency; sales have been
made from store of 700 bbls. Georgetown at $5
12j, but now held firmly at $5 25; 150 Howard
street $5 25, and 250 Richmond country,the latter
for shipment $5 12 j, all cash.
Molasses —Remains as noticed in the early part
of the week. 130 hhds. Trinidad Cuba sold at 25
cents; and 90 do. Porto Rico, 28, both 4 mos.
Sugars. —The market for Muscovado closes A r cry
firm ; in prices, howrever, we have no change to
notice. Sales have been made of 100 hhds. Porto
Rico, at a 7 cents; 200 St. Croix, 8 a 9J; do.
New Orleans at 5 for common to 6 cents for good;
and a few extra superior, a 7|; 100 bbls New
Orleans, 6; and 60 hhds. Cuba Muscovado, also 6
cents. Box Sugars have arrived more freely, and
about 100 boxes Brown Havana sold at 6f a 8,
