The ease 'wasdecided in hiv„r of tin: plaintiff.
Olivet Simpson, A
vs. _ (
J'lie Churli .;lou Tire and (
Marine In uiranee Company. j
The three first grounds ol appeal are upon slip- 1
msed errors of the verdiet in matter of tact. It
a ciioagh to 1 ay, in relation to them, that the ev,.
dencc was ahundanl, and every way satisfactory
0 my mind, to sustain the conclusion to which
he Jury came.
The fourth and fifth grounds present the only
egal ipiesllon in the ere, whether the bringing
ip lie I ives. under the wiil of habeas corpus, is
tied by the Clio I Justice, of Hermuda, and the
hschurge ol them, by him, from the. custody ol
iTe'lii ist. rol the vessel, is within the risk enu- 1
moated in the policy, viz: atresia, restraints and
lotainmeiits nf all kings, princes or people of
ivh.it nation, condition or quality soever; fur, if
his question he answered in the ul'irmative, then 1
the loss cannot he referred to an escape, which is '
in excepted peril. i
The warrants, arrests, restraints and detain
incuts ol all kings, princes or people, of what na
tion, condition or quality soever, are broad
enough to cover every possible demotion, legal or
illegal, by color of law, or without it. Had it
not been Kir the ca c ol Nosbit, vs. Lashington,
11. K. 78!}, I should not have hesitated to say,
that any tlrlcnliun in fuel, was within the perils
insured. Hut that ease held 11 mere riotous do.
leiilion ol a viis-el by a mob, and the consequent
breaking up ol her cargo, not to he a detention
in llie meaning <>l the policy.
It appears that the detention, lo he wilhin Iho
policy, must he a capture, or seizure, or detention
by llie o/lii er or agent id soma government in
(id. -(1‘lnll. on Ins. !i50.) it is true that Mr.
I'hillips says that it must he by llie Commission
ed olliecrs or agents of some lawful and ac
knowledged government. JSul this cannot he
true, lor wherever a government in fact exists,
whether lawful or unlawful, acknowledged or un
acknowledged, il has (ho physical power to com
pel obedience lo its commands, and ils olllcers or
agents are suppose I In net by its aolliuriiy, and
that llmioliim the assured has 110 remedy for Ins
lum against them.
This, however, need not he noliccd for llie pur
poses id tin; case, lor taking the doctrine lo he, us
s.ate I hy Mr, I‘iiillips, llie detention hero would
he one of the risks enumerated in the policy; for
the slaves were taken mid detained Irom the ens,
tody ol the master, by a writ issued by the Chief
Justice of Eermudu, tho officer of an acknow
ledged and lawful govenimenl, that of Great lln
tain. The muster of the . vessel was hound to
yield obedience to the writ of habeas corpus. He
had not the power to le.-ist ils mandate, and if ho
had, he would not have been justified in so doing,
lor it i.- the doty ol all persons within the juris
diction ofa couutiy, to observe its laws and lo
lucid to all its legal and proper process, any oilier
iyle would lead lo continual insubordination and
the exercise of physical power.
Whether the subsequent discharge of the s laves
by the Chief Justice was according to or against
the laws of Great lirilain,cannot now be inquired
into, it was an act done in a court of Justice, and
by the judgment of a Court exercising 11 compe
tent local jurisdiction, Il is hence to be piesum
ed, llial il was done according lo their law, ul.-
(hough il must be conceded by every one having
tho least acquaintance with national communi
ties, that it was, direct violation of ils lirst jirin*
ciples.
Il is true dial most of the cases of restraint and
detention reported io the hooks are captures in
lime ol war, and seizure under political regula
tions. Hut it does not hence follow dial u deten
tion by Judicial process is not no enumerated
iisk. ft us well as others, is die ac-i of an olliccr

The Court of Appeals concurred.
Our country bus on hand at the present time
the. removal of the Hcmmolcs Iruin Florida and
die Chcrokees from Georgia, onterprizes that so ,
entirely occupy the military force of die govern
menl that the Secretary ol War declares dial ho
can send no mote regular Hoops lothe Northern
Frontier. Is not this a beautilul practical com
mentary on the condidon o! u country claiming to
be the greatest republic oneaith! In what sort
of a position docs lids stale of tilings place us in
die event of a diHiuully on tho North Fastern
lloinulary question, or ol disloilianccs arising out
of the Canadian rebellion I ll may he said dial
die militia is the legitimate defence of the country
and dial should occasion inquire it, our people
will lie found (locking lo die National standard.
\\ iilouit pit-lending to dissent from either of these
opinions, we shall only remark that it never was
tlie intention of onr institutions that peaceful cit
izens should be taken Irom their ordinary voca
tions, on every slight difficulty, and lluit, however
the militia lone is lo he relied on in the event of
hmitreelion or invasion, 11 was never intended to

count of the progress of affairs in the Cherokee ,
country. Capt. D. states that the Indians arc i
very peaceable and quiet, and that the only cause I
of delay now, is, to afford them an opportunity of
disposing of their stock and other properly. He ,
represents some of the full blooded Indians, us
worth from two to live thousand dollars.
Many of those people have received the Gos- ' (

course is at war with the most approved politics
of the day. Vou advise him how he should have
acted, on this very momentous question. In the
first instance you say lie ought to have petition
ed the President, and Doss to restore the treaty.
Iflliuljiad failed, he ought to have resorted to
the ballot box. If that had failed, he should have
protested. Tis with duo dcffercncc that I present
a remark, in opposition to so favorite, a writer os
(Dob Shoil,) on each ol his propositions. 1 have

; done by an offensive act. The Message that was
sent from the while house, on the 21st of May
J j last, was a thrust at our sacred rights. ’l'was an

licious poison, abolitionism. Is there a Georgian,
who will tee his dearest rights assailed, by the
, agitators of this noxious poison without saying*

1 will you in (short order.) Vou would never
suffer Georgia rights, to be trampled underfoot by
Northern Fanatics. To prevent future causes,
which if allowed to go on, might do great injury
to each section of the country, 'tis only neces
sary to let them know, that we know wo have the
remedy, mid that we will apply it. I'o have pc.
litioned the President, and Doss, for a restoration
of the treaty would have required lime. To have
gone to the ballot box more tardy. Thou io have
protested would have shown our unwillingness,
oi incapability to have acted, and surely would
have given them gicatcr confidence in themselves.
Our tardiness in acting, might have placed the
country in such a situation, that our remedies
could not have been applied, with the same sana

plication on the onset. We have been too slow,

From the Charleston Mercury of yesterday. 1
Auot her Horrible Steam-boat Disaster.
By the Steam-packet North Carolina, Capt. i
Ivy, arrived yesterday morning, we have received i
a slip irom the office of the Wilmington Advcrti- !
scr, containing the melancholy particulars of the
loss of tiic Steam-packet Pulaski, on her trip Irom
this port to Baltimore. Wo despair oi finding
words to express the feelings cxeited by the sub
joined account of the loss of lives in tho Pulaski.
Charleston has suffered severely, but from Savan.
nah, the very flower of the city, the clile i of its so,
ciety, has been taken. On the receipt of the
nows, and durr _, the day here, yesterday, great
excitement prevailed among our citizens, and the
liveliest sympathy was expressed for the calamity
which has fallen upon our sister city of the South
the chief sufferer by this dreadful visitation.
egjisna asuigugti J[qr
boiler at the time—malconstructlon or mo uGiier",
&c., but we have been informed that the boiler
, and all the works of tho Pulaski were of the best
description—and tho engineer eminent in his
department, The captain we well know was one
of the most vigilant and prudent commanders in
the business. Wo have no doubt, therefore, the
competition with the other hue of Baltimore
packets, and .mining against lime, was the true
sourcu ol the calamity.— We learn that Professor
Davis, in a recent lecture, predicted an explosion
from the excess ol steam used on board the boats
between this city and Baltimore.
i he shipping in port have displayed their co
lours at hall mast on the melancholy occasion.
'The following is a an exlraat of a letter from
a passenger on board of the Pulaski at the time
of the explosion, to the agent in Charleston,
dated,
Ten mites South o/A'eic Iliver Inlet, .V. C.
June 10th; 1838-
Knowing the intense interest that will he fell
m the late of the Pulaski, 1 am induced lo as
sume the painful duly of communicating to you
the awful calamity which has befallen her.
At 11 o’clock, on tho night of the I4th inst.
one of her boilers exploded with such violence as
to destroy the whole of the midships oflhe boat,
including so much of the hull, that the water
rushed in with such violence as to sink her in
three quarters of ail hour.
Two small yawls, with 23 persons, after re
maining three quarters of an hour near the wreck
lo pick up as many of the sullcrers us they could
solely carry, succeeded in landing near this place
yesterday evening, after taking five of (he number
from the swamping of both the boats in passing

The destruction of tho Pulaski took place
about loity-fivo miles South of Cape Look Out,
and 30 from laud. When we left tbe wreck we
still heard voices of many persons floating on
pacts of it, and believe that many might have
been saved, if any vessel passed that spot the
next day. Capt. Dubois, and Pearson were pro
bably destroyed by the explosion, as they were
j not seen or heard of when wc left.

instantly, and tho after part so.tling slowly for
half an hour; the ladies who had taken refuge in

; From the N. Y. Whiff, June 15.
'i he movement of M. Kennedy in the House of
Representatives is destined to be defeated. At
this late day, a majority cannot be tound to re
turn to the exploded system of State banks as de
positaries of the revenue, even though it is better
with all its ills than the new independent treasu
ry scheme. The Loco Foeos are not afraid to
vote Mr Kennedy’s resolutions down. They
will be joined by a host of Southern Whigs who
would even prefer the Sub-Treasury to a return
to the State bank policy. As a lest therefore, of
the opinions of the members of the House of
Representatives the fate of these resolves will
furnish no evidence. The refusal to come to a
vote on Sherrod Williams’ anti treasury bank res
olutions, was far more indicative of the real poli
cy of the administration.
Mr. Webster’s remarks on the propriety of re
pealing those portions of the deposit act, so ob
noxious to a return to specie payments by the
southern and middle State banks, arc interesting
He shows plainly that the spirit of the new cir
cular is anti-resumption, and that great inconve
nience is felt already in Boston at:d Now Haven
from its operations. This Treasury order is not
only anti resumption in our opinion, but it is an
li-commcrcial in every respect. It strikes at tha
very root of our foreign import trade by denying
to the merchant the use of a currency equal in
value to specie, merely because a contingency has
arisen in the construction of a certain law not
contemplated by the frameis of the act itself, and
merely because the Secretary of the Treasury
avails himself of this construction. If the admin
istration really desired to revive the prosperity ol
the country, and the deposit act was in the way
ol so good an intention; how easy for the parly in
power to propose a repeal of that law, for Mr.
Woodbury must know, that it is impossible for
the banks to resume throughout the country to
any beneficial purpose while such an instrument
as his lust order is the guide lor the officers of
the revenue. Mr. VVehster may, in our opinion,
talk as eloquently as Demosthenes upon the pro
priety of rescinding or suspending any part of the
deposit act, hut when the vole comes to be taken
lie will find himself in the minority. It is idle to
suppose that a President who would deliberately
authorize the promulgation of a paper like that of
the June Treasury circular, intends to recede
from his position, unless compelled so to do. No
such power to compel him to this course exists in
Congress, organised as it is.
The struggles of the patriots in Congress tc
settle the question of the currency according to
the old line of policy, are, in our opinion destin
ed Is ho of no effect. The majority have just so
much power as to p event the adoption of any
measure that looks like a return to former princi
ples, and to keep the country in a slate of uncer
tainty and alarm unless the proposition of Mr.
Van Burcn he accepted and ids liberty-destroy
ing proj&ct passed into a law. The great ques«
lion, therefore, to the decision ol which we look 1
forward with every anxiety; is the independant
Treasury hill. Till' that is settled we chill con
tinue to he in angsluis rebus.
From the N. L Herald, of the IGlk,
Money Market
Thu market for bills on England opened at 84,
and 10 per cent, as the asking rale. At these
quotations, the transactions wero very trilling,
and the rate early gave way to per cent, the
sales at which were only for a moderate amount.
The market closed languid at 0 a l)i per cent.
over which buyers are not disposed to pay. On
Prance, the asking rate of 5 a could not be
sustained, and the market closed at f 5 20 a 5 32$

this by no means indicates tlio stiile 61 \tii nfillt
ket, as the regular dealers come into market only
on the last day. The business to day shows a
great deal more offering than there are buyers
for, and unless the steam ship going on her reg
ular day, (2d instant.) should create an extra de
mand, the rate will not bo over 9 per cent, in all
probability, on the next packet day. There is by
no means sufficient demand to sustain the prices
against the quantity which would be thrown into
the market, should the southern banks commence
drawing against their cotton funds. Os this there
is no necessity, as the day of resumption is at
least as far distant as the Ist of January, 1839,
in the opinion of the business community. Our
New Orleans slip informs us that the United
States Bank has ceased buying cotton in that
market, but private advices assures us that the
agent of that institution is as active as ever; and
the opinion is still prevalent there, that there will
bo no resumption on the part of the United States
Bank, or other cotton dealing institutions, this
j ear.
In fact, the gloom caused in this city by the illi
beral acts of the government with regard to the
reception of hank notes in pay ment for governs
ment dues, and their hostile position on the sub
treasury bill, is rapidly spreading South, and
should not the treasury hill be defeated, the gloom
attending such an untoward event, would cause
the most disastrous effects throughout the coun
try —not so much from the operation qf the bilj
itself, as the conviction it will carry with it, that
the government war on the banks will bo perse
vered in. If such should prove to bo the case, of
what benefit would be a resolution to take the
notes of specie paying banks, and then turn im
mediately round and drain them. The interest of
the people and the government must ho united
before any permanent state of prosperity, or even
security, can he established. The ancient writer
sailh, “the house divided against itself cannot
stand'’—how much more dillicult, then, is it for
the national fabric to exist, while it is pull Dick,
and pull devil, like two dogs in a leash, between
the office holder? and community at large.— We
understand the Governor of Tennessee lias issu
ed his proclamation, convening the several boards
of directors of the different branches of the State
Bank for the 11th inst.
A little more buoyancy has been visible at the
stock exchange; the amount of sales has been
larger, and in some instances, at an improvement
in prices.

In a few weeks, the fields will bo whitening to :

any tiling should occut in that short interval, to

is not only in the fertile region in the midst of 1
