Shelley’s case ; did not create an' estate tail,
so as, under our Act of 1821, to vest a fen

No III. Davis vs. Irwin. From Bibb.—
The Sheriff showed for cause, that one of the
three negroes sold had been delivered to the
purchaser, who refused to pay for her, because
she disappeared before ho got her home; that
•he was sold and delivered without puy, in
pressure; of tho ngont of Plaintiff and Defend
ant, said ag’t huving had possession and con
trol during tho levy; that without this negro
there was no overplus, with her. there was.—
Held
1. That this private urrangement (as to an
agent monaging the slaves during the levy,) did
not protect the Sheriff from a Rule for the pro
ceeds of the whole sulea.
2. That tho remedy against a Sheriff as for
a contempt, extends to defendants a s well us
plaintiffs'.
3. That though it did not appear from what
Court ihe fifas levied had emanated, yet as the
Sheriff waived that, and admitted u surplus, he
was in contempt'of the Court.
4. But that after a rule ubsolute to pay over
money (although sixty days were given to raise
it in,) it was emir in the Court to embrace in
said order an attachment absolute, without the
Sheriff having been first culled on by an attach

McDonald and Powers & Whittle for Defen

From Bibb.—Held, That the company having
taken on board their curs for transportation a

ed to he an hereditary disease, the Jhry
found damages not only for the loss of the
mother, but also for tho supposed constitutional
taint in the children. Held—1. That this
finding was erroneous. That, to justify tho
finding, one of two things further should have
been proved : either that the mother herself in
herited-the disease, or that the ohildrcn were
born after it seized her.
2, That for the reason stated a new trial
would be awarded unless plaintiff below would
remit the otie bundled and fifty dollars dama
ge* which, it appeared, were given gn account
orthe children. Judgement reversed. Mc
Donald and Powers & Whittle for plaintiff in
Error, Poe and Nisbet for Defendant.
No. VI Judge, a Slave, vs. The State of
Georgia. From Houston.—In this case it was
North and South.—Every observer must
be struck with tho growing disparity of senti
ment between the North and 8outh ; and every
reasoning man must see in this sectional alien
ation aad estrangement, the most alarming por
tents of evil to our race and nation. Conflicts
of interest have long been wa D ed between muc j 1 j nt i, e Ban i e manner as Lord Ashburton
Militart Parade.—Yesterday being the22d
of February, the Military companies of our city
paraded in^the Morning with full ranks, and not
withstanding the absence of the Blues and Ar
tillery, now on a visit to Charleston, made quite
a formidable appearance. During the day the
respective companies marched through the
principal streets, enlivening the city with the
marliul music of their bands and the gay ap
pearance of their brilliant uniforms.
Savannah Volunteer Guards, Cnpt. Rich
ardsons, fired for a prize Musket. Distance 80
yards, which was won by private George
Battev.
The German Volunteers, Capt. Steigoin,
fired a salute in Monument Square, which re
flected much credit on them, and proved that
they aro a well drilled corps. They did not
lire for a prize.
The Phoenix Riflemen, Capt. Mills, march
ed to their usual shooting ground, and fired for
n prize Rifle, which was won by Ensign J. T.
Buckner: distance, 100 yards; 3 shots mea
suring 12J inches.
The Irish Jasper Greens, Capt. Devant,
fired for a case of Rifle Pistols, and a Bowio
Knife; privute P, Gkyran, won the Pistols, and
2d Sergt. O’Bryan won the Knife; distance 100
yards, off hand.
The Chatham Fusiliers Capt. I.aw, also,
paraded yesterday. This is a new and promis
ing company of juveniles. They made quite
a soldier-like appearance, considering tho ab
sence of whiskers and mustaches. They fired
a salute in Monument Square.
In the Afternoon the Washington Fire Com
pany, honored the day by parading through
some of the principal streets. They mode a
very creditable appearance," and their appara

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.
The aspect of the negociation between'Eng
land and our Government jn reference to the
Nicaragua question, has entirely changed with
in the last two or three days. Mr. Lawrence,
cent to the Court of St. James very
Athenasum.—The veteran Booth, makes
his last appearance on our boards to-night, in
his great character of Richard III. It has been
perhaps, justly said, that since the days of Se
nior Kean, there has been no Richard but
Booth. This is, perhaps, the last time that
the Savannah public will have an opportunity
of seeing him in that character.
We understand that Miss Davenport, the
young lady who has created such a sensation in
the North and West, will make her first appear
ance here on Monday night.
The managers are determined that there
shall bo no lack of attraction.
See first pnge.
1. That it was illegal, and a good ground for
certiorari, that the Inferior Court, after regu
larly making a Jury, discharged them (and so far
as appears without cause,)and proceeded to
enipannel another jury.
2. That it' was not cause of challenge to the
array that one of jho twenty-four Jurors was
served not personally but by notice left, at his
house, as said Jufor„vflc<«a?i!y had notice, and
obeyed it by attending; might be another ques
tion if the Juror was seeking to ava<l himself
of want; of actual notice.
3. A Juror being called, and one of a differ
ent middle narnt appearing, saying there was
U mistake in his name, it not appearing that
there was a person of the middle name called,
it was not error to put that Juror on the Pri
soner.
4. The State’s counsel having announced
“ closed for the present,” and Prisoner’s coun
sel being called on, who declinod introducing
any evidence, and the case being submitted to
the Jury, it was error to allow the State to then
introduce the warrnnt and other preliminary
^proceedings, to sustain the indictment. And
5. That the said preliminary proceedings
vere material to be averred and proved, in or-
ier to give the Court jurisdiction.
What Jenny Lind is to Get.—We
may expect to see the papers teeming with
marvellous stories about Jenny Lind, now that
she is coming to America. Some editor calcu
lating largely upon the verdancy of his readers,
and pretending to know even more about the
terms of tho contract than any body else, says
Barnum 1 is to give the Queen of Song $375,000
for one hundred and fifty nights, or $2,500 for
each night she sings in America. Barnum is
not so'green as to give Jenny such terms as
these, which we think, as a business transaction
would bo discounting the notes of the Swedish
Nightingale, at rather an exorbitant premium.
There is scarcely a concert room in the Union
that would hold the amount at any thing lilto a
reasonable price for tickets, and it is to be ex
pected that Barnum would take care to have a
small margin upon expenses. In New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, Jenny
would excite a furore that would fill the largest
saloons at a dollar a ticket; but even in these
cites the people would scarcely be willing to
pay auction prices for tickets for more than a
night or two ; and if she confines her concerts
to those citios alone, we doubt if the manager
would make much by the speculation, even if
he were to pay her but half the sum name!.
The subject brings to our mind a witicism of
the inimitable punch, perpetrated at the time
when tlie people of the English Metropolis
were running crazy after the great violinist
Paganini. Punch has it—
“Who were they who paid three guineas,
To hear u tune of Paganini’s 1
Echo—Pack o’ninnies's."
If Barnum should attempt to levy “war
prices” for Jennet’s concerts, the same coup
let would be revived, with the substitution of
Pretty Jenny's for Paganini's.
North and South; but never until within tho
past two years have the two sections been ar
rayed openly against each other in an issue in
volving their political rights and equality in die
Union. Whatever might have been the outcry
of brawling politicians on either side of the line,
there Wag a conservative Spirit in the land
which held disorganiiers and revolutionists in
check, and rendered harmless their puny efforts
to disturb the integrity of the Union. But we
fear that spirit ha* succombed, and that even
those to whom we once looked for cool, dis
passionate. patriotic action, have imbibed the
reckless, fanatical spirit of the age. If this be
true,if sectional prejudice has tnken the place of
national patriotism, what hope is there for the
Union? The daily reports of the proceed
ings at Washington, would naturally suggest
such reflections, hut the subject has been
brought to our mind by tho notices which we
have seen of a late speech in the House, bvtlio
Hon. Horace Mann, of Mass. Of this speech
we have two views, one by a southern, tho other
by a northern man ; both writers are moderate
men, and their articles appear in journals no-
tod'for their dignified, temperate course on the
great question of the day. We select a para
graph from each os showing the diversity of
northern and southern sentiment and opinion,
and as affording an evidence of the utter hope
lessness of a (air discussion or reconciliation of
our difficulties, while We are so wide apart in
feeling, interests, and sentiment.
We take our first extract from the correspon
dent of the Newark Daily Advertiser. The
writer says:
Mr. Mann of Mass., made a speech in the
House to day, which for patriotism of spirit,
is the pattern speech of the session in the
lower branch National Legislature. He show
ed conclusively the constitutionality of the
power of Congress over all territory annex
ed to our domains, and contended for the right
to legislate for such territory ns the people
thereof may lawfully desire. Ho wns calm,
kind, conciliatory, and gentlemanly throughout;
and if his arguments did not convince those
who differ from him, they must all have ad
mitted the splendor of hi* intellect, and the
nobleness of his soul, na a Representative of
the Old Norfolk District of John Qumcy Ad-
an.s.
Our next extract is from tho correspondent
of Ae Charleston Courier. The writer, speak
ing of the same speech, says:
I am sorrv to be obljgcd to say, as a faithful
reporter.thatall our southern friends here are ex
tremely indignant at the speech of Mr. Horace
Mann. The Southern lodios of my acquaint
ance lire much incensed at his remarks. Il
they had come from Giddings, no one would
have cared a straw for them. But here is s
pre-eminent scholnr, a man of social character,
a philanthropist, a man who has devoted his
life to the cause of Education, and who has
impressed his sentiments upon the rising end
a large part of the risen generation—-and he
proclaims that it is the fired purpose of the
North that slavery shall never go into uny new
state or territory; and he bids the South to sub
mit or beware ! Hegoes further. Ho draw
a vivid picture; with what Byron would have
called a “diabolically clover” , hint, to show
what the South is to suffer.
Do not these comments on the speech of Mr.
Mann, afford an alarming illustration of the
adverse attitude in which wo,stand. Outrage
af the South is patriotism at the North ; and
what we would call patriotism at the South is
denounc'd as treason at the North.
Talk of compromise! Where lies the na
tional ground of equal justice and patriotism,
between these extremes ? Or where is the
statesmen who enn assume that ground and
bring us hack to it ?
POSTSCRIPT.
Late frosHa
came hither, for the purpose of reconciling all
conflicting interests. In each cane, the two
governments could not have selected men bet
ter qualified to fulfil the mission. The coin
cidences in their history were striking, and
they had both passed the age of recklesnness,
whereby the peace so long existing between
the two countries could possibly have been en
dangered. The negociation was suspended in
England, by the illness of Mr. Lawrence ; in
the meantime, other points had arisen, that
rendered Mr. Glsyton impatient of delay, and
ho undertook to negotiate here with Sir Henry
Bulwer. The British Ambassador, it seems,
was not emnowed to treat, but he knew per
fectly well tho views of his government in re
gard to some points. Mr. Clayton, than whom
no man is more impulsive, urgently reiterated
his wish to open the negociation. Mr. Bulwer
expressed his earnest desire for the final ad
justment of the question, and said, ho would
do nothing in opposition to the wishes and
views of this Government.” Mr. Clayton setting
aside, the customary forms of diplomacy, unad
visedly submitted to Mr. Bulwer, the projet pf
a treaty which the envoy received, at the same
time repeating his inability tu sanction it, and
despatched il forthwith to his Government. Ai
cabinet meeting, on tho 9th inst., some dis
satisfaction was manifested at. the course Mr.
Clayton had pursued. So far from his policy
meeting their views, they decided against him;
whereupon, Mr. Clayton discontinued his at
tendance at the office of the State Department,
and his resignation is well known to be fully
determined upon.
The delightlul spring-like weather we are en
joying, brings out on the avenue, an immense
concourse of persons. At no former period,
was the city ever more crowded. The atten
dance at the'different churches, is universally
great, and the Representative Hall, when
opened for Divine service, is literally crammed.
The questions that have occupied our undivided
attention of late, still deepen in interest, and
produce intense excitement. Mr. Clay is the
cynosure of ail eyes; wherever met with his pres
ence has 1 a cheering influents. Mr. Calhoun is
bent upon addressing the Senate next Tuesday,
although, to judge from liis pallid countenance,
and attenuated frame, it would seem impossi
ble, that mind could so triumph over matter.
Mr. Webster, who has taken no part in the dis
cussions of the session, has at length shaken
the poppies from his brow and lazily raising
himself from his seat—whero he is scarcely
ever seen,—and in a few words of wisdom,
which had a potent effect, advjsed the Senate,
to a tranquil, deliberate, and full discussion, of
the whole subject before them. The sugges
tion was tacitly agreed to, and the great debate,
involving all the questions connected with sla
very, is to commence next Tuesday.

Capt. Hagoerdon, arrived yesterday evening
from Havanas She left on Sunday afternoon
last, 17th inst, and made the run to Our port i n
four days. We are indebted too commercial
house of this city for the following extracts from
letters received by the Midas.

By Last Night’s Northern Malt
A Telegraphic despatch in the New
York Mirror, dated Washington, Feb. 18, says;
Mr. Clayton still says ho intends to resign.
It will be followed by Mr. Crawford’s resigm.
tion. Mr. Winthrop, it is said, will be offered
the State Department.
The staving off game has commenced in the
House, by ulternute motions and yeas and nays.
California is to be kept out of the Union—4Q
men can do it and are now showing it. It j,
thought by somo that Clayton is in earnest, and
will resign. It will produce a general breaking
up of the Cabinet.
I3P The Senate on Saturday last, confirmed
the nomination of Walter Forward and of Mr.
Schroeder, both as Charge of Affairs. They nl-
so confirmed the nomination of Mr. Drummond
as U. S. Judge of eastern district of Illinois.
Death of Bishop Flaget.—The Rt. Rev,
Benedick Joseph Fluget, first Roman Catholic
Bishop of Louisville, died in that city on the
evening of tho 11th inst., in the o7th year of his
age.
E3P The great Mass Meeting of the Demo
crats of New York, the call for which we no
ticed a few days ago, was to have taken place ut
Tammany Hall on Saturday night last, but was
broken up in a regular row.
It appears that a party of free soilers who
did not sign the call, took forcible possession
of the room ; organized on their own hook,
and when those persons appeared, who hail
called the meeting, and were entitled to pos
session of the room, they were brutally ill-treat
ed and kicked down stairs.
TheparLies who signed the original call have
issued a proclamation denouncing the proceed
ings of the meeting on Saturday night.
$ The notorious Rinders, Elijah Purdy, Mint-
and Lorenzo B. Shopherd, were conspicuous in
the fray.
ETA New Marriage Bill hus been intro
duced into ihe Massachusetts Legislature, pro
viding for three days’ notice beforehand to the
Clerk of the town or city—thus dispensing with
the publication of intended marriages.
A Receipt.—Whenever you get a black eve
by falling on the ice or from running against a
bed-post, or from running against u powerful
fist, apply a cloth wrung out of very warm wa
ter, and renew it until the pain ceases. The
moisture and heat liquifies the blood and sends
it back te it* proper channel. Use warm or
hot, but never cold water to the bruise. A doc
tor would charge a guinea for this advice, we
give it gratis.—if®. paper.
Whole Number of Vetoes.—The veto power
has been exorcised twenty five times since the
organisation of the Government, viz: B y
George Washington, 2; James Madi-on, 6 ;

K.Polk, 3 ;—tota! number
Mississippi.—A letter from a gentleman in
Jackson, Miss, dated Jan. 26tb, says that a re
port from the Committee on State and Federal
Relations has been made to the Senate by Judge
Guion, Chairman, in which it is proposed to
place Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol
lars ut tho disposal of the Governor to be used
in case Mississippi is thrown upon her reserved
rights in the great contest between the North
and the South on the great slavery question.

Riot in Canada.—A telegraphic despatch
in the Charleston Mercury states that there bad
been a riot in Canada at a place called Three
Rivers, and that the Assessor’s house, the Can-'
adian Institute, and the Governor's officer
were burned by the mob. The Military have
been culled out.
CF* C -.1. Robert Howard, formerly naval
officer c-t the port of Charleston, died ih th^t
city on Wednesday.
ti”- Two large parties of laborers on the
Blue Ridge Rail Road, Va., had asavage fight last
week, during which a house wns burned and
some 13 lives taken.
85P A telegraphic despatch to the Charles
ton Courier, says—
The Presidents of the several Insurance Com
panies have made affidavits charging Dr.
Knatp, the owner, and Wilson, the Captain
of the ship Russia, with having conspired to
cast away and burn the ship: ■ Roth time beta
arresied, and have given bail to the amount of
$15,000 each. •
The loss by the recent conflagration has been
exaggerated. It it now said that the total loss
amounts to only $350,000.
Where’s the Ghost?—Hon. Henry Wil
son, the poet Whittier; Hon Jno.M. Earle and
several other prominent Free Soilers of Mas
sachusetts, have called a State Mass Conven
tion of the party at Funeuil Hall, Boston on
the 27th of Fabuary. The call for the Conven
tion is very strongly worded, talks of the jeopar
dy of human liberty, of the plotting of treason
by the slave perpetualisSs at the seat of govern
ment, -dissolution of the Union, the pre-ent
“alarming crisis” and of the inflexible deter
mination of the people of the free States to
sustain the Union “at any and every hazard
their fixed unalterable pugj)ose under the Con
stitution and within the Union to arrest the ex
tension of slavery into territories now free—to
abolish the slave trade and slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia—to relieve the Federal Gov
ernment from all connection with and responsi
bility forjslavery—and to place the Government
ooenly, actively and perpetually on the side of
freedom."
Texas as a Sugar Country.—A Galveston
letter of the 2d inst. says that the sugur pro
duction of the State is greatly on the increase,
and that the quality is very superior. The
grain and color nre unsurpassed for brown su
gar, and the flavor vastly superior. There is
also an article of syrup or cane juice, half
boiled into sugar.
GF* The N. Y. Canals are to be opened on
the 7th March, by order of the Commissioners.
Several persons connected with the In

pecuniary delinquency.
A Great Lake in Central Afirica,—An im
mense lake has been discovered in central parts
of Africa hitherto unexplored, by the Rev.
Robert Livingston, an English missionary
among the tribe called the Becuanas. It lies
in about nineteen degrees south latitude, and
five hundred and sixty miles north-northwest of
of Kolobeng. A writer in the London Athene-

Another remarkable Literary Curiosity.—
The literary world of last week brings to notice
an “ode to the,Sen,” translated from Chene-
dolle, a French poet,born in 1770, on page 482
of Longfellow's caller.ions of European poetrv,
which is so obviously the original of Bvron’s
famousapostrophe to the ocean in Childe Har
old, ns to leave no doubt in the mind ofthe read
er of the appropriation by the lordly British
poet.
BTA
great chess match recently came off
in Washington City.
Mr. Turner, of Kentucky, challenged Mr.
Stanley, of New Wrk, to a trial at chess upon
a wager of a thousand dollars. The parties

taken by the winner of the first eleven games.
They played twico a day. The shortest, and a
very brilliant game, was won by Mr. Turner
in twenty minutes. The longest game was two
hours and a half in duration,and was won bv Mr.
Stanley. Mr. Statiloy won the eleven games,

Reception of our Volunreers in Chablis-
ton.—The Charleston Courier gives a glowing
account of the reception of our volunteer corps
by the milifary of that city, on Thursday Morn
ing last. Froni u long and truly complimen
tary article, in which the muster-roola of our
companies are given in full, we extract all that
we could make room for last night. Thu Cour
ier says:
Never have we witnessed a more imposing dis
play, than took place yesterday, on the occa
sion of. receiving the two Savannah Military
Companies, that have paid our city a compli
mentary visit.
A little after nine o’clock, the steamer M«t-
nmorn, Capt. Barden, entered the harbor, hsv-
ing the troops on board, and plied about the
bay, giving on opportunity to the visitants to
view the shipping in port, all of which were in
their gala di ess of variegated colors, and see
the masses that hart congregated on the Bat
tery, to witness the reception.
The escort composed, of nine volunteer corps
of the city, took up the line of mnrch to the
Battery, in front of which they were drawn up
in line. The Metamora then,'with colors dy
ing, nnd bands of music playing, ranged up
along the Battery, presenting her crowded
decks to the assembled troops and vitziens, and-
then cameto at the head of the Southern wharf.
During the di«emharcation of the Comr-a-
nies, the Marion Artillery, in accordance with
the programme, fired a national snlute, and mi
mediately afterwards the head of the coluina
of the two companies—the Chatham Artillery
and the Repuldicnn Blues-made their appear
ance, and were received with the usual mil
itary honors, in a style reflecting much credit on
those who had the direction of the reception-
After passing the escort—and a finer body
of citizens soldiery could hardly have been or
ganized than the noble fellows who march™
past our troops, to receive the military compli
ments and cheers that greeted them—xthe whom
body took up the line of march up South Bay
Meeting street, to the quarters oftht respective’
companies. The Chatham Artillery were lo
cated at the Charleston Hotel, and the Rep 1 "’'
lican Blues took lodgings at the Pavilion Hotel-
and here ended tho military services of the
day.
In the afternoon the officers of the Savanna 1
Companies partook of a sumptuous dinners'
theCarolina Hotel, with -the . Field Officers of
the Fourth Carolina Brigade: In the evening
the two companies attended tlie Ball given by tho
Washington Artillery, at Hibernian Hall- On
yesterday the Volunteers were to attend at
Hibernian Hall, to hear an oration, by T. A-
Simmons Esq; after which they w-ere to join
in a Brigade parade, and he reviewed by his
Excellency the Governor. In the evening the
Savannah companies were to attend a supper
and Ball, given by the Washington Light Infan
try.
Judging from the programme of the enter
tainments, our soldiers will be well provided
by their gaDsuit entertainers-
