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. - w- i New Cotton.—A baleofwcu; Cotton was received in New Orleans on Saturday the Hth inst., and shipp d on board the American packet ship Vicksburg, lor Liverpool, which cleared on the 13th for sea. This shows how early the c&ips are in that quarter. The first new bale came to hand in that city last year on the 15th of August, and in 1838 on the 21st of August. Dr. Franklin.—ln the Memoirs of the Life of Sir Samuel liomily, appears the following 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 its ted.” M ARID ED, At Columbus, Ga., on the 30th June, by the Rev.
