OBITUARY NOTICE.
PAUL CHACON.

Rarely or never was there witnessed
more affecting scene than that OF the last
illness, conversation, behavior and death OF
the pious Mrs. MARY LEvERlNG, wife OF
Mr. Aaron Levering, of this city, who ex'
pired about half pas, two o'clock on Mon
day morning last. She not only yielded to
the inevitable summons, with fearless re-
sipna1on, bu, she hailed the expected event
with Joyous and holy Impotence exhl,
biting proud and triumphant contrast De-
tween the exit of q christian, iull or conn
dvnce and divine meekness, and the decease
of the hardened and rrellgous bravo, who
struts and vapors through life, but starts at
death. Her whole life was marked by
tranquil. afTectiona,e and devout demeanor;
and it was no wonder that the last scene was
such an impressive catastrophe, slnce.lt ma
turally followed, and was the contamination
OF the preceding and preparatory course
Never shall it escape from my recollection
About an hour before she died, she en-
CURED, "What o'clock is it, Being an

she was not borne more rapidly to meet her

whose existence seemed linked with hers q.
Mrs. L. possessed an intelligent mind

MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES.

The possession of fort Martagorda, we
are happy to state, is not likely TO- produce
that effect in accelerating the surrender of
>Cadiz, which the inhabitants seemed dis
posed to apprehend, and the enemy reckon
dupon. From survey made by the Prin-
cipal engineer at eCadiz, it appears that the
enemy cannot take up a position ON that
point from which the town can be lombard
ed with effect. The distance between Ma
tagorda and the nearest bastion Of the forsi.
ti6cations of sCadiz, is 1888 yards. nearly
two English miles. Very smatlshelb, dis
charged from "a Founders, will barely reach
the town. The inhabitants, however, are
nosnnder much apprehension of being an
noyedfrom SO distant position. Cadiz
is beautifully supplied with water and pro-
visions; and unless the movements of the
enemy be favorable, and supported by trail
torous CO. cooperation from within, the siege
is likely tobecome an enterprise Of great
difficulty.

hhAGlGl,, ~. VI Juty IL
The Supreme Court which commenced
its session on the 1st inst. adjourned yester-
day. There were 1875 causes on the dock
et;'75 have been decided-the remainder
either continuedat the instance of counsel,
or under consideration Many important
decisions have been made: That onrhe ex-
ception taken to the bill Of Indictment upon
which ohm Owen was at the last term OF
The Superior Court found guilty ofthe muir
der of Patrick Conway, was the most i'm
portahe.
The exceptions taken to the bill of IN
dictment, il will be remembered, were,
That the mortal wounds alledged to have
occas,oned the death, were not positively
alleged to have been given by the prisoner,
but could only be understood BY intendment
or implication, and that the dimensions of
the alleged mortalwounds were not describ.
ed and set forth"
The question was argued thegreater part
oftwo days-Messrs. Brown, Cameron and
Seawel in support of the reasons in arrest
of Judgment, and Mr.. Potter for the state
and against the motion.
On Tuesday last the opinion of the court
was given. The FIRST exception was over.
ruled by the unanimous opinion of the judg-
es. The construction of the indictment
was scanned with much critical acumen at
considerable length.
With respect to the second exception the
judges disagreed in opinion. Judges Hall,
Lowrie, and Henderson declared the in
dictment to be materially and fatally defec-
tive. Every authority, all books and pre-.
cedenss, and every decision which had been
