On li ving the fifth cap tiie gun went off and the Joad of shot entered the abdomen of a brother of Mr. JJerlacher. The unfortunate man died of the wound next morning. Mr. Benecke has been committed for trial in the District Court. The U. S. steamer Maria Burt, put into Galveston indistresson the 7th inst. She was bound for the Brazos. According to the Ci vilian’s report she had a narrow escape from the violence of a norther she encountered on the 6th inst. She owed tier safely to her staunchness. Sue would take in a supply of fuel and proceed to her destination. Tl»e S'ackct Ship Xew York. From a letter to the consignee in this city, under date of the 12ih inst. we learn that this vessel was in the same position us before reported, hut with every prospect of her being got ofF. The necessary as iistance, in apparatus, &c., was hourly expected from New." York. Her cargo was about being removed to Beaufort, iTi North-Carolina, and from thence would he shipped to this port with all possible despatch. The letter further adds that nothing would he sold, but all sent for ward. A passenger in the Wilmington boat, arrived yesterday, who left New York on Wednesday last, confirms the above intelligence, expressing the opinion thrt she will be got ofTif Ihe weather is favor able. The agents of the underwriters had doubtless arranged as to the amount of salvage to he paid. The goods are dated to he in as good order as could ho desired.

The Grand Jury for the first week, January Term, eighteen hundred and forty-seven, have been unable, by pressure of business, to visit and examine the Poor House or the state of the Books of the County Clerk. They are able, however, to report that a Committee of their body have ex amined the Jail, and find that building kept in good order and the prisoners in a comfortable situ ation. But they would call the attention of the proper authorities to the had condition of the roof, the gutters and the window sash of the building. The Committee appointed to examine the Books and Accounts of the County Treasurer have per formed that duty, and report the Books kept with perfect neatness and the accounts correct. The amount received from all sources since the last term of the Court in June, 1846,is §5,629 47, and the disbursements ''all with proper vouchers) $5,- 338 10. ’Hie balance of §291 37 stands to the credit of the County Treasurer, in the Bank of Augusta, astyipears by the certificate of the Cash ier thereof. The Committee appointed to examine the state of the Roads and Bridges in the County, have not been able to make a personal examination of this matter, hut believe from enquiry that the Roads are in as pood order as could be reasonably ex pected at this season of the year. They report the Bridge over Butler's Creek, on the Louisville Road to be in very bad order, and in a condition dan gerous to the public travel, and recommend that tiie Inferior Court have this Bridge put in imme diate repair. In taking leave of His Honor Judge Gamble, the Grand Jury sincerely regret that the slate of his health compels him to resign the high station w hich lie has filled with so much impartiality and, dignity, while presiding as Judge of tills Court; and are in hopes that by retiring from its arduous duties, his health may again he fully restored. We also return thanks to John J. R. Flournoy, Attoney General, for the courtesy and ability, with which he has discharged the duties devolving on him. JAMES B.
