LAW.
Jades Kofsigsol, Esq. of this city, was ad
mitted, on Monday last, by the Supremo Court,
to plead and practice in the several Courts of
Law in this State.
JUDICIAL WIT.
A case was called in our Superior Court, on
Monday last, when, one of the counsel being ah- ,
sent (gone, as was supposed, to otter his devo
tions at the shrine of Hy men,) another of the
counsel mentioned his absence, und suggested
that the ease should therefore ho laid over. The
judge (who understood it lo have been said,
that the absence was caused by indisposition,)
replied, that itnsiauch ns Col. was indis
posed, the case might he passed ; when conn
aellor observed, that be could not say that
Col. —— was absent from indisposition, unless
a tendency to matiimony might bo considered as
a disease. “Oil certainly not (said the Judge,
very promptly,) and one might rather expect
that such a tendency would incline him to
Court.”
COTTON MARKETS.
By tho arrival of tho Br. barque George Wil
kinson, at Charleston, wo have advices liom Eu
rope to the 3d ult.
Tho Live, pool Cotton tna.kol remained in the
same dull slate, as noticed in our former report,
and as the advicos received there,at that period,
fiom tiiis country, represented the growth of
Cotton in the Tinted Slates, in 1831, to have
been at least 1,100,f)00 hales, with an excess of
tho old crop, in this country, compared wi ll
the sliock of the pievious year, on the Istof Oct.
ol'about 100,000 bales, there was little, if any
prospect, of an immediate improvement in pri
ces.
Holders of Cotton manifested a disposition to
press sales, and tho consequence was, that in
some instances, a reduction of an £d was sub
mitted to. The sales of the week were 14,300
bales—lmports 9,040.
Tlio imports oi'Cutton into Liverpool, from the
Ist Jan., 1831, to Ist Dec., were 750,000 bales,
against 730,000 during the same period the pio
vious season. Os American Cotton, there ap
peal* lo have been no difference in the imports
during tho first eleven months of each year, be
ing 537,000 bales. It is probable that tho im
poits of Colton into Liverpool, during the month
ot Doc. 1831, were considerably less than dur
ing the corresponding month of the previous
yoat.
Tlie Cholera was extending in England; 14
now cases were reported in Sunderland, und 3
in New Castle, on the 98th Nov.
Tho advices from Havre, of 2d nit. represent
Cotton as being rather on the decline.—We give
the following uxtract of a letter, dated Doc. Ist:
“Our present Block is reduced lo 14,000 bales,
but prices have declined, during the last two
days, Ito IA centimes, on United Slates short
staple.”
Advices from New Yo.k continue unfavora
ble for sbi| incuts of Cotton to that maiket, tlio*
tho stock is represented as being light, and but
low choice p<ocels for sale. (.Flotations of the
new cro, , 8 a Idcts., dull.
Since the leceiptof the la’o advices from Eu
rope, tlio Charleston and Savannah Colton mar
kets have been dull, but without producing any
essential change in prices. Tho. quotations are
a9j in both markets. Shipping has become
mo:o plenty, and ills piohablo Freights wili de
cline a hltlo. This may produce activity in those
uiaikets, in a few days.
Our advices from Mobile aro to the 22J insl.
Tho receipts of CoUoh into that market, since

RICHMOND SUPERIOR COURT.
Om Supreme Court is still silling, this being
the fourth week of tlie present session, which
closes, we believe, to-day. By on excellent ar
rangement of the Judge, in occupying the whole
of last week wjlh Special Jury business, and
keeping the Petit Jury till this week, tho ses
sion has thus been extended one week longer
than usual; and by tins mean, with great indus
try und perseverance, and keeping the Court
open each day, from 10 A. M. till 5 P. M. with
out adjourning for dinner, and longer occasion
ally, as the eases unfin shad at tlio latter hour
required it, his Honor has succeeded in calling,
and trying, eeery case on the Dockets, not dis
missed or laid over by the parties, according lo

or, under duo regard to the rights of the oppo
site party, an opportunity of trying his cause
& obtaining justice —t result which ha« never
before occurred within our memory, or proba
bly that of any member of our Bar. And in
attaining this end, we understand he has sat, in
one instance, nearly thirteen hours together,
without the least sustenance.—lt is well known

A friend in Columbus writes us, under datu
of the !23rd inst. “A duel took placo today, at >
Fort Mitchell, at hall past cloven o’clock, ho- 1
tween Maj. Camp, and Gen. \Vooi.ruLit, hath of |
this place, which terminated in the death of tho i
lattor. Tli» former received a wound, but 1 1
believe not a dangetous one. The mail closes 1
directly,and 1 have not lime to give particular." ,
Since wilting the above, a gentleman of this i
city handed ns the following extract of a letter on '
this suhjectpocoived four a friend in Columbus, '
“Onyesterday,(B3d inst.) I witnessed tho du- *
el between Maj. Camp and Gen. WooLror.lt. '
They had hut ono tluft, each. Gen. Woolfolk '
shot first, and his bail passed through tha flesh of ,
Maj. C. an inch above the navel. Tlio wound, I
by viatiyps thought slight, hut his surgeon thinks 1
it dangeious. After Maj. Camp received the *
wound, he shut Gun. Woolfolk. Ilia ball passed 1
through W. above tho heart. Woollolk walked
seven stops towa ds the crowd of spectators,&
said “he has killed me.” Tho blood gushed out
of his mouth; no viewed it attentively —laid him
self upon luo giound, and expired immediately,
without having again spoken.”
A MUM CANDIDATE,
Wc find the following precious announcement
in tho "Lafayette Free-1’ rots,” puhlisilud in La
fayette, Indians ; from which one might suppose,
that the “Independent ruttrs” of ladiniiH,judge of
the merits and qualifications of Ihcii candidates
hy the quantity of hum limy “rollout"—believ
ing, doubtless, that At has the most sense him
self, who has tho strongest disposition to make
fools and brutes of otheis, and the most means of
clFecting it—or else, (hut the editor, who in iuj
Anti Jackson man, published it, very significant
ly and properly, as the best mode of disgracing j
tho “Jackson candidate," and dole a dug h:s
election. Surely the people of Indiana are not
so besotted, so lost to decency and sulf’-respei't,
as to give their sufluages only to men who thus
o, only minister to their disgi acc and tliei: own
appealing to their beastly piopensilios, rather
than to their virtue and intelligence, as men, and
freemen.
“.Mr. Semans—.You are itnihofiswl to an
nounco Kkviif.n Putnam as the JACK.tOX can
didato lor comity Recorder: And moreover,
ihut, 1 will roll out a b.i.rrl of RUM on the
day of election. Respectfully,
Rl.l bl'.N FUTfI.vM.
Lafayette, Doc. 23, loci."
We would recommend to the consideration of
the editor of tile Lafayette Free Press, lliu
“Jackson candidate,’’.and the peo, looflii.Uanu,
the following proceedings of the Quarterly
Conference for Sparta Circuit, held at Green’s
Meeting House, on the 17th ult. which we
copy from tho Hancock Advertiser:
“Whereas, the practice of C.r d! hfti»s fi»r pin.
ces in the gift of the people, t. ca’Tg tonromoto
their election, is an evil(vve believe of no or
dinary magnitude, producing n hen.or iging ef
fect on society generally, and renuo-'g the
candidates lliemselvrs unworthy to he tint rep
resentatives of a civilizer, much more of a
Christian people :■ a practice illegal in itself, and
altogether contrary to the principles of (Jluisti
niiity, and the Republican institutions of our
country ; and, whereas, it is believed that this
Manning evil can only be checked hy the united
efforts of tho temperate and pal.iotic gene'.illy,
and of tha followers of our Lord Jcsa* Christ
particularly : therefore,
“ Resolved , That hereafter we will not support
any man, so any post or place, at an election, *
who shall he guilty of the practice of treating, or
using any other unlawful means to promote his
election.
“ Resol-ed , That tho Rev. James L. Daniel,
the Rev. Miciij ili Thomas and Joao| It Hotelvvin, i
be appoaited a Committee to correspond will) .
tho Chinches of other denominations within the
bounds of this Circuit, to communicate to them |
the above preamble ami resolutions, and ask
their co-operation in putting avv ay so manifest
an evil from amongst us.”
We learn (and are requested to publish (he
fact) that two of our citizens have sent to New
York hy a judicious agent, to bring on to this ’
place, oqe of the Arabian horses lately inverted
by Mr. Uhind, with a view of improving tha
blood & quality of onr raca of horses. The horse
is expected here hy the first of March. Rditors ,
of papers throughout this State will likely sorvo '
a good object, by copying this notice.

Tho annual celebration of the Columbia Ty- i
pograpliic.il Society look place recently at Wash
ington. Several members of Congress, editors
of papers, &.c. attended hy invitation. We have ,
b?cq struck with the following part of Mr. Ver
planck’s speech, in which an entertaining refer
ence is made to Dr. Franklin’s Chapel, probably
now to many of our readers, ami an incident re
lated of a compositor, not more honorable to tho
individual alluded to, than interesting in itself,
and calculated to excite tho industry and awaken
tile ambition of the craft:
“Amongst the earliest recollections of my
boyish days, he said, were the amusing and in
structive incidents of the early life of Benjamin
Frantiin, ?.s related by hiptsejf: and erne of tha ;
circumstances vvhich most struck and excited'!
my boyish imagination in that beautiful narra
tive, was that of his calling the ofllco in which ho
vvoikod in London, a Chapel, according t 0 (| irt ,
traditionary phrase of English printers. It j s „
term that has gone much out of use, 1 have sim,,,
learnt, on this side of the Atlantic, In this,
Chapel, however, uhojit which, our g.eui [j||j| 0 .
sopher and patribt printer first excited my cu
riosity, it has been tho fortune, I think the good '
fortune, of my life, to have since passed mane
hours. These were hours which I sometime#
used to flatter myself might bo useful to others,
they were certainly always agreeable and inter
eslingto myself. I was there very early amt
very fieqnenlly struck with the general mtullo
gence and informal ion ot the craft: and 1 was
often delighted with the native talent, the lile-i
racy acquirement, the liberal principles, and the
ardent minds of many of them with vvimin I
thete became acquainted. I there m.,dc many
acquaintances amongst your fraternity, whom £
shall always remember wilh respect mid kind
ness, and not « tevv friends whom I honor ouj
esteem. 1 have received amongst them the best
offices, as a friend—(nor can 1 forget it,) aid
suggestions, corrections, as sn author. One in',
stance of this occurs to me at this moment, at.j
the time and occasion will not allow me to pa*s
it over. I was engaged some years ago in a mis.
culhincous literary vvo-k, in conjunction with
Ivvoot three fiicnds,whose writings are amoii'r-i
the most valued productions ofnativc literature-
The volumes were most accurately, ns well ail
very beautifully printed. Before the shunts had.
reached the binder, aud long before they had
fallen under the eyes ol any regular editoii.il
c itic, I was surprised will) a review of the
wink in one of our beat and most widely circu
lated literary journals. It was written with
great talent, as well us elegance and spri'd,ill
ness of style, and in the moat friendly spud. Q u
inquiring for the name of our good nalnred and
able critic, the authors were suqcisod to learn
that he was the compositor who h.nl sol up the
whole of the manuscript, cud who knew ft only
in that way. Our friend has since laid down the
slick for the pen, and is now, as I liust, vvinnim'
liisway to fame and fortune, in another countivv
Although 1 single out ilih instance, i mention
it not as u singular one, but merely us un exam
ple of ono amongst many singular.
But to return to the idea with which I hegani
!t was the e, and in-such company, that 1 leant
to give its due import to Franklin's tcun of tha
Chapel, which, if ft has become obsolete ia mar
uy parts of onr country, ought not to bo so.
1 there learnt, amongst piintecs, and presscsi
und forms, whiteveiy day's oiiservulion of my
life out of doors couti, mod to mo, that this was
indeed u Chapel—not of a fabulous tWiy or tra,
dtlbinary saint, hut tho true Chape) of Liberty.
There is her living presence, her homo, and tho
seat of her power. There are tho ultais, upon
which are hourly kindled the pure and tho bight
lights of useful knowledge, for the guiding and
illumination ofmunkiud. There, too, the G.«i
dess tieasures up her aims, tier aigis, and hor
