A very important case came up before the Supreme the evening's entertainments. The house was crowded.
Court of Illinois, at Springfield, early in January last. It
excited considerable interest. An agreed case was filed, and
it was moved that a peremptory mandamus be issued to
compel the auditor of public accounts to draw a warrant upon
the Treasury, for the proceeds of the two mill tax levied and
collected under the provisions of the new Constitution, to be
applied en certain State bonds, presente I for payment the
first day of January, 1851. The motion was resisted on the
following grounds:—
"1. That the Governor of the State was the person
charged by law with the appropriation and disbursement of
the two mill tax.
" 2. That the State had a right to retain a pro rata share
of the tax, and apply it upon the deposit made by the United
States with the State, under the Act of Congress for the dis-
tribution of the surplus revenue, as that deposit was a debt
due by the State.
" 3. That certain interest bonds had been presented to the
Governor, and that the holders of these bonds had a right to
share, pre rate, with other bondholders.
" 4. That all bondholders had a right to share in the dis-
tribution of the fund in controversy, notwithstanding they
failed to present the bonds for payment on the first day of
January, 1851, the day fixed by law for their presentation.
" Written arguments were filed for the relators, and for
respondents.
" The Court announced their decision, awarding a pe-
remptory writ of mandamus according to the motion.
By this decision four important questions are determined,
viz.:--
" 1. That the auditor is entitled to the appropriation and
disbursement of the two mill tax.

" 2. That the surplus.revenue deposit is net a debt against
the State.
" 3. That this fund is to be paid on the principal of the
State debt, and is to be applied in discharge of the interest.
"4. That thon creditors who failed to present their bonds
on the lst of January are not entitled to share in the distri-
bution of the fund.

"Under this decision, 165,699 02 dolls. in specie was paid
towards the extinguishment of the State debt of Illinois.
"The probability is that a large amount of the Internal
Improvement Bonds of the State will be presented fur pay-
ment curing the present year, each of which will be entitled
to a pro rata share of the amount.of the two mill.taxsollacted
during the year 1851."

HAYMARKET THEAT RE.
Mr. J. W. Wallack aeared here last night in the cha-
racter of Macbeth, and fully bore out the favourable impr.es-
sion which his Othello had created. The distinguishleg
characteristic-of Mr. J. W. Wallack's acting is earnestness;
he is evidently also a student of his art, and will achieve for
himself a high place. Miss Laura Addison was full of power
and energy as Lady Macbeth. Her acting during the scene'
of Duncan's death was sublime. She is by far the best re-
presentative of Lady Macbeth that we have now sn the tal-
lish stage.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
A melodrama of what may be called the reeler Diehl'
aterest, was produced here last night, and, thanks
dramatic school, a melodrama of terror and of intense in'
to the
admirable acting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, was trium-
p antly successful. The following is the plot :Pauline

he has perished. However, when she returns to her• friends

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM MACHINERY AT EDIN-
IatIRGIL—On Saturday morning an accident of a very paint ii
nature occurred in the glass-works of Mr. Ford, at the south
back of the Canongate. While a toy about 15 years of age,
named Adam M'Cosh, was engaged in some of his usual oc-
cupations, be, by some means, got entangled with the machi-
nery. His left. arm was seized by a wheel -band ; and he was
pulled up till he came in contact with the wheel, when the
firm was literally torn otl; and the poor lad fell to the ground,
anti in a few minutes after expired.
THE SLAT): TRADE.—A considerable increase has
taken place during the last half-year in the export of slate
from the various quarries in North Wales, a circumstance at-
tributed to the repeal of the brick duty causing an impetus
to the erection of houses. From the port of Carnarvon
alone the exports for the last half-year have been 61,400
tons, being an increase of 11,000 tons over the prior half-
year, and for the month of February the shipment has been
to the extent of 6,200 tons. In other ports a large increase
is apparent.
RETURNING SENSE.—Mr. Leach, of Manchester,
stated at a Chartist soirée at Sheffield lately, that " he bad
spent eighteen of the best years of his life in speech-making,ith-
but he would be ~orry to waste the next eighteen years w
out making a more sensible and manly effort towards doing
good."
