LOCAL MATTERS.
Richmond Superior Court.
The case of the State vs. Wads. New
man, charged with the offence of sim
ple Larceny, tried on yesterday, result
ed in a verdict by the Jury of Not
Guilty. The case of the State vs. Jos-
Ki’ii I!. Ramsay charged with the offence

I'RKSICM'.UEVTS.
Or the Grand Jury Richmond Si ce
hiof. Court, Novembf.h Term, 18-58.
The Grand Jury for the second week,
empaneled anil sworn, beg leave to re
port, that by reason of the diligence
and industry of the Jury of the lirsl
week, there remains few subjects for our
consideration. We have, however, to
report upon the condition of a portion
of tlie County Roads.
The Washington Road is reported as
in bad order, and especially the hill be-1
yond Rae’s creek.
The Jliiledgeville Road is also report- j
ed in very bad condition generally.—
The bridge at Wyld’s Mill needs repairs
to render it a safe crossing; also, the.
bridge at the old Boring Mill. The'
water spreads on the Road opposite Kib
lingßivorth Farm—a ditch from the
Road, cut through this farm, would i
drain it off. Repairs are also needed on |
the Waynesboro’ Road, at and near
Green’s Mills.
It has been reported to the Jury that
the Ford on Spirit Creek, below Moses
V. Green's Mill, is at times in such con
dition, by reason of the discharge of
water from the Mill, as to render the
passing almost impossible, certainly
attended with great trouble and incon
venience. The Jury, from the evidence
before them, deem the erection of a
Bridge at this point, as a great public
convenience, for a very large amount of
travel, and respectfully Ueg to call the
attention of the proper authorities to
the subject. The lury arc informed
that tbis subject has been referred to
before, but no action having been bad, j
they trust it may now receive such at- j
tention as its merits demand.
The Road, bridge and Causeway, !
leading from Little Spirit Creek to He
mared Ferry and Shell bluff, is reported
by one of our body as in very bad con-!
diton for nearly the whole distance, j
and we recommend its early repair.
The Jury cannot allow the occasion to I
pass without referring particularly to '
the fact, that a very large proportion of i
the business before Grand Juries grows
put of the retailing of spirituous li-i
' tjuors. Nearly a!! the cases against
parties, charged with crime arc tracea
ble to tills cause ; and, while it has be
come almost a hackneyed theme, yet it
cannot, perhaps, be too often presented ;
—hoping it may stimulate all whose;
duty it is to look after and see that I
laws are executed, to very diligent and
persevering efforts to airest this fruit-;
ful source of crime.
In conclusion, the Grand Jury beg .
leave to return their thanks to bis Hon- ,
or, the presiding Judge, and to the At
torney General, for their courtesy to
this body during their term of service.

North Carolina Tea. —The Youpon
tea, which is about to be introduced in
to Paraguay by some one in the United
States Expedition, is plentiful in North
Carolina, and grows also in Eastern
Virginia. An exchange says :
The Yottponis a shrub not unlike the
common “box” bush—its leaves and
twigs are cut up quite fine and then
cured by parching it after the fashion of
coffee. The shrub makes a handsome
hedge and our birth place abounds with
it in its wild state. The tea sells in
maiket at from 25 to 75 ets. per bushel.
A Gouibllng Countess.
A visitor at Hamburg writes : “At
the lapis vert we see, among others more
or less distinguished, Madatne KisseletT,
the lady of the Russian Ambassador at
Paris. In early life she was acknowl
edged to be so remarkably beautiful, as
to have been called ‘The Rose of Rus
sia.’ She is very rich, and still very
gay, though well advanced in years, and
so noted a stickler for woman’s rights,
that, at her grand entertainments in
Paris, gossip says that her husband must
wait for a special written invitation,
the same as an ordinary guest, and not
unfrequently waits in vain. She has
still the remains of great attractions—
full and piercing black eyes, equiline
dosc and handsome mouth, chin and
neck. She is richly dressed in black,
with a profusion of bright rings and
other ornaments. How very expert she
is in tossing her moneys to the distant
colors on the table ! She has several
feet to toss them, and yet notone rolls
or lights on the wrong division. The
wheel is in motion—she throws three
thalers on one color, two Napoleons on
another, five Napoleons on a third, and
ten Napoleons oti a fourth. Yellow
wins ; not a shadow of satisfaction or
gloom on her countenance as she piles
her winning, or gives out new coin. -
She is so constant an attendant at the
table that the public, of Hamburg,
thankful for her patronage, have call
ed a new street by her name. When we
taw her, she had nine rows of Napo
leons, about three inches high, at her
elbow, hut whether winnings or her
stock in trade, we had no means of as
certaining."

A fellow was arrested for stealing
ducks and after a description of them
the counsel for the prisoner said —
“Why, they can’t be such a rare
breed for I’ve some like them in my I
<»wn yard.
“Very likely’ said the complainant;
I’ve lost » good many ducks lately. 1

Statistic? of Population.
The population of several of the lead
ing countries and their colonies have, 1
according to recent censuses, been as i
follows: j
Colonies. Countries.
Brit. Empire, 5,224,477 27,435,:>25

Spain, 3,717,133 12,380,841
Austria, 35,780,112
Prus-ia, 10.831,1871
Russia, 60,008.315'
Bavaria, 4,519,520
Belgium, 4,850.090
Greece, 037,700
Hamburg, 288,054
Papal States, 1,908.115
Sardinia, 4,650,308
Sweden & Norway, 4,045,007
Turkey in Europe, 15,500.000'
Two Sicilies, 8,423,806
-'China, 400,000,000
S The population of China, that very;
j interesting country, is very uncertain.;
! According to the best native authority '
the population should now Vie nearly'
400,000,000, hut the population is given ,
by Gutzlaff at 367,000,000, and confirm-.
ed at about that by other late writers.;
Comparatively with England and Wales,
the proportion of numbers to territory
would he as follows :
Area. Bop. Acres
square utiles. per head.
Rutland and Wales, 37,S1‘J 1G,055,G34 J
China, 1,2'J5.000 3C7.030.000 2}J
Thus, even at the figures given, the j
population is less dense than in Eng
land. The census returns give, in some
) provinces of the empire, the population
j at an average of more titan 700 persons
| to the square mile. But by the last cen- j
I sus county of Lancaster. England, had
about 800 per square mile, not to speak
Inf Middlesex, which has an average of
500, or of Surrey, which lias about 700
1 per square mile. It is also to be observed
that these densely peopled parts of China
ion the sea caast which have been pene
! trated by Europeans, are well known to 1
jbe very fertile, and in every way well i
I fitted to afford a large amount of subsis-'
fence to their inhabitants. These facts j
go to confirm, to some extent, the large j
population of China; the more so that,
the people of that country subsist on a
much smaller allowance of food. The
density of the population of Holland
and Belgium is far greater than that of
China.
In London, there lias recently died
a woman ninety two years of age, who
was born in the room in which she died
a.id never slept out of it for a night in j
her long life time.
| Boswell observing to Johnson, that I
' there was no instance of a beggar dying
: for want in the streets of Scotland, “I
believe, sir, you are very right,” says'
Johnson ; “but this does not arise from j
I the want of beggars, but the impossi-'
jbilityof starving a Scotchman."

COTTON—At the close of our last weekly
review, we left tho market in rather an unsettled
condition on the accounts by the Ana,and gave as
! the nominal quotations, 10 1 ., for A iddling, and
; 10l* for Middling Fair. On Friday there was a
quiet market with sales of 409 bales at 9** to
i cents.
: On Saturday the market was depressed and the
I sales of only 207 hales were reported, at 9££
; to, 5 * cents. On Monday tlic market continued!
i dull, and only 121 bales sold at 10 to 10; , t cents, i
On Tuesday the .'■ales were 154 bales at JO, 1 ,; to'
! 10££ cents, with a further depres-ion. On;
j Wednesday the market rallied, and 1,212 biles!
! sold at 9‘i to 10;i cents, the principal sales
j showing a slight advance.
On Thursday there was a still further lir prove
j moot in prices, and all that offered was leadily
taken. The sales reported wore 927 bales, at
to 10££ cents. The receipts of the week were
7,633 bales.

WHEAT.—'There has been no change in this

j port demand, and millers are well supplied.
FLOUR.—There has been no change in this ar
i tide, and we continue last week’s quotations :
, Super One city brands at 15.50. Wo quote Tonnes

»j ily $6.75 a $7.

pie to supply it. We quote 68 a75 cents, sacks'
i included—latter price for small lots from store.:
BACON.—This article has advanced )% to 2£c.
| since our last report, and there is now a brisk

11 cents.

3 ; f®3o cents.

.} MOLASSES.—There is but little demand fer

MONTGOMERY, November 16 —Cotton.—Dur
ing the past week our market had a downward
tendency—prices giving way l 4 ct., Middlings
sinking 10 10, Good Middlings At these
figures tliere was a good demand, and ail offer
ing readily taken. The inquiry increased Friday,
and a large business was done Saturday the i
| business was restricted, ow ing to the’small
f amount offering. Although our stock is large,
I there is very little in first bands, which cause 1
prices to be very stiff, and iu favor of sellers.
This morning, the Vanderbilt’s advices were
| known, showing sales of IS,OOO bales for three
’ days in Liverpool, at a decline of ! 8 , which
caused a pause in our market. We have not
' seen anything done yet this morning. 'We con
tinue quotations at 10 cent! for Middlings, 10‘ 4
for Good Middlings.

GROVER & BAKER’S
SEWIHG MACHINES.
REASONS why the Grover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
I sewing:
1. It is more sir/.pie and easier kept in order
than any other Machine.
j 2d. It makes a seam which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
' 3d. It sows from two ordinary spools, and thus
I all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while
the same machine can he adapted at pleasure
' by a mere change of spool, to all varieties of wort
j 4th. The same machine runs silk, linen throat
i and common spool cotton with equal facility,
stb. The seatn is as elastic as the most elasti’
{ fabric, so that it is free from all liability tobrea!
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
‘ 6th. The stitch made by this machine is mor
beautiful than any other made, either by ham
i or machine.
Merchants can secure the sales of these Mr
| chines in their different localities, with profits
