We extract from the Re publican. In a Peck .claimant, dec.,') Plauiliii’m Error, | I Twi""s Nathan Land, Assignee j> Superior Court. of Henry Solomons, ( ‘ rtaintiffin fi fa Defendant ! in Error. J This was a case of claim. The De fendant in Execution was in the posses sion of the property, consisting of la nd and negroes, at the lime of levy. At the trial of the claim, the claimant produced a deed of the property, dated before the judgment, hut subsequent to the com lucneement of the suit, and the case turn ed upon the validity of that deed, under the act XIII. Eliz, c. V. Per Cur. Lumpkin Judge. When the Plaintiff levies on property which was in the possession of the de fendant in execution at the lime of the levy or rendition of the judgment, such levy makes out a prima facie case in his favor, and this principle applies as well to real as personal property. A sale by an insolvent, pending a writ, is a badge of fiaud; it is a legal presump- , lion, that it was intended to hinder and j delay the collection of his debt by such • creditor, and the case becomes stronger i when the conveyance is made to acredi- j lor in satisfaction of Ids antecedent debt, j and the debis of other creditors, and such j presumption becomes conclusive if there j is no explanation of the transaction as- | forded by the claimant. Although a full price be paid for pro- I perty, if the intent of the conveyance be ! to hinder or delay creditors in thecdliec- | tion of their debts, the transaction is frau- ! dulent. Anv original Court paper of Hie in the office of the Clerk may be used as evi dence in I lie Court in which it is of file without requiring an exemplification. If the verdict below was rendered with out evidence, it was the duty of the Judge ! to grant a new trial, and upon a refusal I so to do, tins Court would have reversed I the decision, and allowed such new trial, ! but as the evidence was contraViant, the Court below committed no error in refus- j ing the new tiial—such evidence being the peculiar province of the jury. Decision of the Court below affirmed. Rockwell & Kenan and I. L. Har ris, for plaintiff in error. C. B. Cole, for defendant in error. Henry Solomons, PUT. in error,'! vs. ! Twiggs Supe- j Frances Solomons, Adm’x. of j nor Court. * Jas. Solomons, Def’t. in error. J This was a case involving the doctrine of partnership. The legal principles are staled in the decision of the Court below', which was to the following effect : “There is no difference between a joint adventure and a co-partnership when the joint adventurers purclia.se jointly and are to participate in the losses and profits, such an adventure is a co partnership. “The only ways a copartnership for a single adventure, enterprise, or business can be dissolved, are—first, by the ex tinction or destruction of the subject of co-partnership; or, secondly, by a total | separation or severance ol if, betore the ! completion of the business or enterprise; or, thirdly, by a completion or ending of j the adventure, business or enterprise.— The Court docs not recognise any sucli I thing in law as a dissolution pro tanto of a co partnership; for a single enter prise or business there must be a total severance. “With respect to verbal admissions they ought to be received with great cau tion, and if made by a party w hen igno- 1 rant of his rights, are not binding upon him, yet when made deliberately and pre cisely identified, are usually received as satisfactory. “If a partner draws upon the partner ship funds, and applies the proceeds to his own individual use, he is liabel to ac count for a moiety with interest from the time he received the funds so drawn.” Curia per Warner, Judge, considered the different positions held by the Judge below and affirmed then seriatim with the exception of thelast, upon which point thev decided as follow-s: That where a part of the copartner ship fund is abstracted by one partner secretly and fraudulently, that he is lia ble for interest on such amount from the lime of the abstraction; but where such fund is withdraw for the private use of one of the partners with the consent of the other, that no interest accrues until demand made. The commencement of suit is a demand. The order in lids case was condition al. The decision below was affirmed pro vided the defendant in error did. prior to the next term of the Court, enter a remit titur for all interest preceding the lime when suit was brought, otherwise a new trial granted. C. B. Cole, and Rockwell & Kenan, plaintiff in error. Poe & Nisbet and W. Law, for defen dant in error. In this case there was a preliminary motion made by defendants in error to strike out the last two assignments of error up on the ground that they were not contained in or authorised by the bill of exceptions, which motion was granted bv the Cou.t under the xx.xiii.

I pon the trial of this case in the Court below, the Plaintiffs in Error who were also Plaintiffs in that Court, offered in evidence a paper of which the following is a copy : Georgia, ) 19th day of June, in the Effingham County . £ year of our Lord, 1826. Know all men, that 1, William Wonuick, in consideration of natural love and as-- feci ion for my son, Frederick Womuck, 1 dogive unto him the following property —three hundred acres of land, which 1 : now live on, two negroes, two horses, and the rest of my stock of hogs and cat tle, together with my household furniture after my death and the death of my wife, to have and to hold the said property for ever.

P.~** Recorded in folio B. 8., p. 375, this 26th day of June, 1846. John Charlton, Clerk. The defendants’ counsel objected to this paper, as being testamentary ilschar acter, and requiring probate belore it could be admitted us evidence to go to the Jury. The motion was sustained by the Court, whereupon the plaintiffs submitted to a verdict, and moved for a new trial, and upon the decision on this last motion which affirmed the ruling at Nisi Pruius, | the writ of error Was brought. It was contended by thecounsel for the j plaintiff in error, that the paper should ; have been admitted for three reasons. Ist. Under the act off 1802, (Princes’ ! Digest. 210,) which requires the Judges ! of the Superior Court to allow every grant ■ deed or document under which any party i in a Court claims title, to go to the Jury. 2nd. Because the paper was a deed of I gift and not a will, having all the indicia ; of a deed about it. I 3rd. Because if not a deed of gift it might stand good as a deed of covenant to I stand seized to uses. Per Cur. Ntsbet, Judge— It is the inclination of the mind of the Court, that tlie act of 1302, refers onlv to the snits*for real estate, but the Court I do not seek to base their decision on that i ground. The proper construction of the | statute is this, that the Court shall not i withhold from the Jury any evidence of title, which is legally proved, hut whether there is such legal pi oof it is the province of the Court to determine, lion alone can reconcile the act with all the subsequent legislation upon the same subject, and it is a rule of law that all statutes in pari materia must be con>trued together, as though they were butene statute. The form ofa paper is of no avail in determining upon its legal character. It may have all the formal requisites of a deed, and still he in substance testamen tary. Whether the parly intended it for a deed or will makes no difference. It is his intention as to the character of the estate which he gives, not as to the form in which he gives it, that the Courts will look to in interpreting the instrument, and it is the province of the Court, and not of the Jury, to make such interpretation. A remainder may be created in per sonalty after a life estate, but this is not such a remainder. The paper is clearly testamentary in its character, and being testamentary cannot be admitted in evi dence except under probate. , Decision of the Court below affirmed. F. S. Bartow and L. S.

Detention of the Mails. —We noticed yes terday the fact that the ice in the Susquehan na river had greatly retarded travel between this city and Philadelphia; and thrown the mails from the East out of their usual regu larity. On Wednesday the passengers and mails were conveyed across on the ice, and a connection between the two cities thus formed, but the weather having moderated yesterday the ice became too weak to bear the weight of passengers. On the arrival of the train from this city at the Susquehanna yesterday morning, an attempt was made to carry the mail and passengers across, as usual, in the steamboat. She was accord ingly started and forced her way through the ice to about the centre of the river, when it became impossible to proceed further, on ac count of the thickness of the ice, and in at tempting to return, it was found that the ice had closed around her, so as to completely hem her in, and prevent a connection with either shore. This was the condition of the boat when last heard from, by the at rival of the baggage train about 5 o’clock last even ing, but efforts were making, which were doubtless successful, to cut away through the ice to enable her to return. The officers with the President of the com pany, Mr. Cohen, have been on the line for two days past, using the most strenuous ex ertions lor overcoming the obstacle, as well as for the convenience and comfort of the passengers, those who returned to the city having had their passage money refunded to them. The mail due at 11 o’clock on Wednesday night has not yet arrived, nor has either of the trains or mails since due, conseqenlly the last dates we have from New York by mail is the afternoon papers of Tuesday and the latest dates from Philadelphia the papers of that city of Wednesday morning. The Telegraph is, however, in working order, and on inquiry we, find that nothing of special interest has occurred in either Philadelphia or New York since our last dates. P. S. At o’clock last evening a train arrived from the Susquehanna, by which we learn that the boat got across yesterday, but could not return. A passenger from Phila- delpliia, and we believe the unly one that ar rived, lie having ventured across the ice, has furnished us with copies of yesterday morn ing’s Philadelphia papers. —Baltimore Bun \sih inst. The Louisiana lic^in-cnt. This regiment is now located at Fort Jackson, and hourly expected to start for the seat of war. We are informed fllat (fen. Brooke received orders from the War Department, some days ago, to send this regiment immediately to Mexico, and that the delay has been solely owing to tfie want of vessels for transportation.— This difficulty, however, we are happy to learn, has been obviated, and it is more than probable that to-day or to-rnorrow, this gallant body of the citizen soldiers of Louisiana, will, for a time, bid adieu to their homes and firesides.

Since the receipt of the intelligence that active operations a re about commenc ing at the seat of war in Mexico, we no tice many of the officers and men who have been absent on furlough, returning to join their respective commands.— Among them we had the pleasure, last evening, ot meeting our friend Lieut.

Culture of ihe <tiivc. In a late address before the Agricultu ral Society of South Carlina, the lion. .Mitchell King warmly advocated the in troduction of the Olive in the rural econ- j orny of that Stale. lie read a very in teresting letter from one of the most sci entific agriculturists in the United States (J. Hamilton Couper, of S'; Simon’s Is land Georgia) from which vve extract the following passage : “We have succeeded perfectly in pick ing the Olive, and in making from it the finest oil 1 ever tasted. This season I expect to make several hundred bottles of oil* and if lam not disappointed by hur ricane, I hope this winter to submit a i sample to your ethical judgment. Hav ing now about 250 trees of various ages, and intending to increase them, 1 hope in a few years to be able to test conclusive ly the question of the Olive culture in Georgia. The experiment will not be a costly one, as the ground occupied by Olives is cultivated at the same time in , other crops.” I*roj>ngaGoii ol’ iCo««*s fioin C utting!*. We received, savs the Carolinian, the following instructions for the cultivation of Roses by cuttings, from our esteemed friend, the Rev. John Bachman, D. D., of Charleston, who is as well known as a horticulturist, as he is celebrated as a naturalist. It is no experiment }etto he tested, and the peculiar mildness of the | season heretofore will render it practica- ; hie immediately after the first hard frost : “After the first severe frost in Novem- j her or December prepare a bed in a frame, tire size of a window sash—3 feet by 4 feet will answer—the earth must trot be 1 manured. It is not a hot bed, but corn- i posed of common garden soil. In this make trendies 1] inches deep, 4 inohes 1 apart. Then cut your branches intocut- i tings containing three or four eyes; the i lower part cut smooth just below an eye—one or two eyes remaining above I l!ie earth. The cuttings are now laid, or | set nearly upright, in the small trench, j and may be pul within an inch of each 1 other. The trench must he filled up with ; common sand, such as is used for scour ing, &c. The object of the sand is to pre vent too much moisture accumula ing around the plant. The ground is now gently watered, to fill every little open- | ing around tire stems. The glass is now put on the frame. Nothing more is done, and no watering for five weeks, when the buds will he found putting out —an ocea sional gentle watering is then given, and the glass raised during the day, for an inch, to admit air—closed down in cold nights. Towards spring the buds will have shot out three inches, and the roots formed. Then they can he transplanted in good rich soils. Well rotted manure and moisture add much to the growth.— They bloom lire first spring. 3> A Hoary Load of Htahf**. Dan Marble occasionally letsoffa jgke that will keep. He saw a fellow stag gering about the race track the other day, with more liquor on than he coulcf con veniently carry. “Hallo! what’s the matter now?” said a friend, whom the inebriated individual had just run against. “Wh—hie —why,” said the fellow, so drunk he was hardly able to articulate, “wh—hie—why, the fact is, a lot of my friends have been b-b—hie—betting liquor on the race to day and they've got me io hold st-slakes for them!” — N. O. Pic ayune, 14 ihinst. ! stool. During the war waged by Don Carlos for the Spanish throne, in one of the attacks made by Gen. Evans’ British brigade upon the army of Carlos, the Spanish supporters of the Queen failed to support the brigade, and the Carlists charging in unexpectedly over-powering numbers, the brigade was compelled to run, pell-mell. A gentleman who has recently occupied the post of British Vice Consul at Mobile, held a command in one of the regiments of the brigade, and com ing up with one of Evans’s Aid-de-Caraps, he arrested his flight by unconcernedly asking him, “Why they were like French beans?” “I’m sure I don’t know, sir, nor can I ima- gine why you put sod—n strange a question at such a moment as this.” Leaning forward in his saddle, and putting spurs to iiis horse, as lie sprung ahead, he explained himself by shouting, “Because | we’re scarlet rminers. The General on hearing of this placed the ■ wit under arrest, but his choler subsiding, he came to the conclusion that the truth was no libel.

The country is impatiently waiting for some practical proof of the assertion, “that the people of the United States are 100 patriotic to refuse any necessary tax in time of war!” This was the language of the resolution of Mr. Sims, of Missouri, aiul w hich passed the House of Representatives without a division. The mem* hers had just had an admirable opportunity of ena bling their constituents to demonstrate this by their manner of acquiescing in the bill taxing Tea and Coffee. But they solemnly refused to pass the bill, and the echoes of their emphatic nays upon the roll call on this vote, had scarcely died away, before the resolution of Air. Sims is before the House, and is carried by acclamation. There is in this proceeding a good deal of Mexican braga docio, from whom it seems we have borrowed some lessons, perhaps in return for those we have been teaching. We have talked largely, but have done little in the way of raising money. Our promises are great —our performance small. Was iit a misgiving on ttie part of the representatives \ that their constituents were not quite so patriotic as was asserted for them? It is to be Imped not, for the Whig members claim for themselves and their constituents quite as much patriotism as do the Democrats. \et Air. Toombs is the only Whig who has paid his constituents the compli ment of voting fur this bill. All the other votes | were Democratic votes, yet there w ere of these but i forty-seven. “A beggarly account, this,of empty boxes,” if this were a test of patriotism, for there were Democrats enough in the House to have car ried the bill triumphantly. And then they would have had all the glory of exclusive patriotism for their party'. But they, too, allowed this fine oppor tunity to slip by. The two parties now are again on an equality as to patriotism, on this subject of revenue. We hope to see them improve it, for this delay upon the part of Congress to support the war by adequate taxation, to be imposed simultaneously 1 with loan bills and treasury note bills, is in a high 1 degree discreditable to the country. Next todi j reel legislation giving aid and comfort to the ene ! my, it is the most effectual way of negatively do ing the same thing. We are not particularly partial, per se, to this tea and coffee tax. We would have preferred the revenue to be raised otherwise, and should have regretted to see the bill pass, and so many other articles on the free list remain uhtaxe I, and so ma ny articles of luxury remaining at very moderate duti< •, which could well bear heavier duties. But j the recommendation of the President and the Sec ; retary of the Treasury, with the necessity assign | cd by the latter lor the bill in order to obtain the j necessary loans, ought to have been conclusive, in the absence of a better bill. Those who really de sired to support the war, and were not doubtful about their constituents desiring to do the same ! tiling, should either have supported the administra tion in its revenue measure, or should have been ready with a substitute that would have answered ; the same purpose. It should not be made a party j question in any way. If it is to be, let the Demo ; crats, who have the majority, unite and pass a hill. 1 bus will they make their democracy and their i patriotism, for the nonce, synonimous terms. j They will prove that their party's strength is, in time of war especially, their country's strength.— ; As it is, that party shows itself powerless or unwil | ling to serve the country when it most needs s.er | vies; at least such will be the fair conclusion from , prolonged inaction. The Whigs will not vote the duty on Tea and I Coffee, because they desire the revenue raised by j a favorite measure of their own—to wit, the Tar ! iff of 1842. This, they w ish restored, and hold i off, foctiously vve think, in the hope of forcing i that measure upon the country. The Democrats | on the contrary, wish to sustain, intact, their fa i vorite measure the Tariff of 1816. At least they | wish no change in if, unless to bring it still nearer to strict revenue principles, and still farther from “protection for the sake of protection” principles. Why then do they hesitate ? Why do they not tax Tea and Coffee, or propose a substitute which will answer the public exigency as well ? This I public exigency being the paramount considera tion. Do they fear their constituents? If so, we have more confidence in the constituents titan in their representatives. We believe those constitu ents will, under the circumstances, respond cheer fully to the requisition. Or is it that some of the Democracy of ther Northern and Aliddle States secretly favor the old Tariff, while the Democra cy of the West are so irritated with the Adminis tration on account of the Oregon question and the veto of the River and Harbor Bill, that with a view to embarrass and annoy, they refuse to come into the support of its War measures. We hope not. And vve will add, vve believe not. But the delay of decisive legislation, and the want of harmonious co-operation so far, of the whole party, give rise to these insinuations, and may engender suspicions that what as yet is but vague conjecture may be correct. But we do not confine our wishes to the action of one party alone. We hope that the Whigs too, will disregard factious considerations and aims, and, giving up the vain hope of resuscitating their dead hobby, the Tariff of 1842, unite in the sup port of such fiscal measures as will furnish to the government “the sinews of war.” This is called for by the voice of the whole country, which is clearly in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, as the on ly mode of obtaining peace. ITOiir next Weekly will contain the able speech of Mr. Burt of S. C., on the amend ment offered by him to the Oregon Territo rial bill. The bill incorporated in it the section of the ordinance of 1787, which prohibits slave ry in that territory, affected by the ordinance. Mr. Burt proposed so to amend it as to re cognize the line of the Missouri Compromise. Though the amendment was lost in the House by a vote of 113 nays to 82 yeas, the debate was resumed next day. It is a de bate, and on a question second to no other in interest and importance, that has been before Congress this session. It is a ques tion pugnant with the most momentous con sequences to the Union. The Foreign News.

COTTON. —Our last review left the market with a fair demand anti steady prices paid, la this condition it continued on Wednesday and Thursday, buyers operating to a moderate extent only. On Friday an active demand sprung up, and something like 3000 to 3500 bales changed hands, and sellers found no difficulty in obtaining readily the prices paid last week, and in some few instances a slight improvement on them. On Sat urday, the market opened quiet, and continued bo jup to .Monday, the sales of tlie two days reaching I 1500 a 2000 hales at full prices. On Monday eve : ningwe received advices of an arrival at Savan j nail, bringing four days later intelligence from Liv erpool, and representing that market in a healthy state, with fair sales at an improvement of id. on | the prices paid at our last advices. This informa tion caused holders to stiffen in their asking rates, j and as they exhibited much firmness in their de mands, purchasers were kept out of the market, ■ and but a very limited business was transacied j yesterday. The sales of the week sum up 6544 bales, tiie heaviest week’s business we have had to report this season The particulars are as fol ' lows: 14 at Sf, J36at 9. 15 at 9 MG, 229 at 9*. 19 at 9 3-1 fi, 373 at 94, 31 at 9 5-IG, 557 at 9f, 89 at 9 7-lfi, 1334 at 9i, 199 at 9 9-16, 716 at 9J, 51 at 9 11-16, 970 at 94. 98 at 9 13-16, 814 at 9J, 376 at 1(1, 1 41 at 10 1 16, 125 at 104, 208 at 103-16, 97 at 10*, i 35 at 10s, and 9 bales at 10*.

The stocks of our-Mer chants are daiiy accumulating by fresh arrivals of i goods, and the assortment on hand is fully equal i to the demand. FLOUR.—At the present time our market is well supplied with northern and country Flour. The latter description meets with ready sale in bids, at s 5, while in sacks it is difficult to get rid off We hope our friends in the interior, who send this article to market, will in future pay more atten tion to putting it up-like Cotton, much depends upon the condition in which it is received, to ef fect ready sales. So far as regards quality, there can be no complaint—but most of the Flour sentta this market is put up in inferior bbls. some of light weight, and in common cotton bags, which ren ders it useless to our Merchants, unless for imme diate use, and if they have orders to fill, are com pelled to look up Northern Flour, in order to se cure its safe carriage. By paying a little attention to this matter, millers in the interior will find, at no distant day, that they will get exclusive con trol of this market for Flour. MOLASSES. —There Isa fair stock of Cuba on band—New Orleans is scarce. Sales this week of 25 hhds Cuba, from the wharf, at 24c. per gallon. SALT.—Prices have a downward tendency, and sales have been reported to us this week of about 2000 sacks on the wharf, at $1,30 a 1,37 i princi pally at the latter price. Retails from stores, in Juts, at 14 a SH per sack. THE RIVER—Is in good boating order, and steamboats find no difficulty in reaching the wharves. We quote freights to Savannah 75 cts, per bale.
