CFAn unusual appearance In the SKY
presented itself Yesterday afternoon IN this
city. 1t gave to all terrestrial objects the
hue of yellowish green, and produced an
effect on the atmosphere not unlike the
near approach to the total occulatIon OF the
sun in an eclipse. The heavens in the
east were covered with a wild cloud OF a
peculiar colour, combined ct murky green
and dull yellow; whilst at the west all
was clear sunshine and brightness. The
air was westerly, yet the cloud appeared
IL be cast over the city by counter cur
rent from the sea-but unable apparently
to extend itself in every quarter OF the
skies, / was finally dissipated by the wes-
tern wind
A vague e2ort prevailed this morning,
that this uncommon appearance was occa'
stoned by severe and extensive hre IN Sa-
lem. This rumour we are happy to con-
tradict. Neither is it probable that il was
smoke from any burning woods in the vi
cinity, as it was unattended by any percep.
tible smell 1t probably was an effect al
together atmospheric, and it would be en-
tering into the region Of conjecture, tor us
at this time to attempt to assign its cause.

HAS A MAN A RIGHT TO THE POSSESSION OF
HIS OWN WIFE?
This question it appears has been re-
Gently and gravely agilated in the Court Of
Common Pleas, and general Sessions of the
Peace at Genesco, Livingston County. I'M
der the follow ing circumstances:-An &C
ton on the case was brought by the hus-
band against the father of the wife, for
forcbly taking her away and OBTAINING
her against her own will, and that of her
husband. The decision in the court below
was in favor O! the plaintiff, and the defen-
dant appealed. On tine trial of the appeal,
it was admitted that the daughter was a
minor, and married against the will and
without the consent OF the defendant.
!. The marriage was admitted to be legal,
The defendants counsel commended that
the father had right by law, to the custo-
dy and services OF his minor child, the
marriage notwithstanding; and the court
on that ground non suited the plaintiff
On subsequent day of the term, however,
the court set aside the non-suit and gran.
ted new trial; Riggs and James, Judges,
dissenting; so that the parties how stand
in sla,u quo. We may add ante beIlum.
Recent accounts from England, render it
probable that the forced paper system, will
10 certain extent, again be put in opera
ton there. If this should take place the
trade between America f. Britain, will be
carried on, on terms more nearly equal than
at present; and if our rulers would only have
the wisdom to impose proper restrictions
on the banks, we should enjoy all the ad
vantages over the British that they have so
long enjoyed over US.

Montreal, { C,.mada, J May %.

The remarkable height to which the wa
fer of the ST. Lawrence has risen, IS saio 10
have been caused by the enormous quan"-
ties of snow which fell during the past WIN
fer in the north, especially in the vicinity
ofLake Transforming. The swelling OF
the Ottowa has done serious injury in the
villages on its banks; at Hampksbury IT
carried away a great number Of logs from
the mills of Mr. Hamilton, and it was tear
ed that mills also, might be swept away by
the food.
In many OF the villages the lower stories
ofhouses being overlooked the 'enantssre-
treat into the upper part, and. like Noah's
family in the Ark, await the retreat OF
this miniature deluge.
The captain and crew OF the brig hising
Sun, now in this port, have since her af'l-
val in the river been afflicted IN most re-
markahle manner. The whole crew were
taken sick at the same time OF disor-
der for which they could assign no reason,
and of which one man died last Thursday
morniug. Since the first appearance OF the
disorder, the captain is inclined to charge
the cause TO some tea which they have on
board. which he believes TO be spurious.
He describes the sensations under which
be suffered to be similar 10 those produced
by swallowing the dust of Verdigris; while
the pain and debility were extreme, see
ming to act particularly On the muscles, ln-
somuch that he could not for some time
shut his hands or raise them to his head
The man who died has since beenopeneo;
but the appearance ofhis lntestines did not
we understand display satisfactory evil
dence fthe exact cause OF his death. Al
The crew are now we'll but two, who are
recovering.

would blow his brains out.-They then

into small box, and said nc would burn

cause II mas cDdnCeTy as wen as d Cotu-
mon law jurisdiction. But this is the case
with all the courts of the United States !;
and although it might, in some respects be
better to separate the jurisdiction, yet one
advantage arises from its combination;
which is that the two jurisdictions " i'll not
be so apt to encroach on each other as
when they are exercised by different tri1u-
nails, each of which is but too apt 10 de-
eide in favor OF its own juris
His next objection is to the fees Of
lawyers. Ii this objection comes from a
lawyer himself,it would seem to be thrown
out ad captandnm, and ne may form our
own opinion as to bis sincerity. So far as
it relates to The taxable fees, if they are
too high, they may be regulated by law
but so far as II relates to the valuel"hich a
lawyer may choose to aftix TO his services
as counsel, no law can regulate il. All al
tempts of that kiHd have been futile.
The next subject of complaint is that
the right OF appeal to the supreme court
is limited to cases of the value OF 1000
dollars. In the other circuit courts of the
United States the limi. is 1000; and there
is no provision. asthere is in respect to
the circuit court OF this district, that
an appeal may be had in cases ex-
ceeding 100 dollars in value. upon
application to one Of the judges OF the Su-
preme Court. But PendIston is not con-
tented with blowing hot, he must blow

Ii must be always remembered, that the
coun'ervailing measures which have been
adopted by Congress, are entirely defensive !;
and, as we desire To concur in the establish
ment of a free trade with every nation, we
are ready Ia abandon the restrictions on the
English navigation, as soon as England mani
tests disposition to give up the restrictions
which she was the first TO impose on our nayi-
gaiion-and does public policy require, or
will the national honor permit, that we should
do SO sooner ? With these views, the Com

sidcration of the petitions of II. Appleby and
