Yesterday, the commonwealth against Mat
thew IL. Rice, tlair Agent of the Pcniton-
tary Store, for alledged dclalcations of the
public money, WAS postponed on hrs appl-
calion--the affidavit stating the absence OF
material witnesses aud papers. Tue case
is therefore put oil ill the next General
Court in the spring. Compiler.
A Broker of tins city had collected con
siderable sum Of money in tlfe notes OF the
Bank of North Carolina. On presenting
them for payment, the Bank refused 10
discharge them IN specie, or northern
funds. lie had most of the notes protest
| ed Tor non-pay directed IA sui
to tie amount of about $50 600, 10 be insli-
tuted against the Bank in The Federal
Court OF North Carolina. Al the Court,
which has ust transpired, ihr question
came on-betore the Jury had brought in a
Verdict, amlcable propositions were made
for a settlement Of the aceount-which
were acCeded to on the part the plaintiff
The whole arrangement was amicably
completed, IN few minutes, before the iu-
~ came in. The statement Of this fact is
due 10 the Bank. ID.
There is IA report, that Sir Charles has
become lame-and that his groom isun"il-
ling to e. he upon himself the responsibility
ofrdlng INN III that situation, without the
orders of his principals. Whether h. con
tracted his lameness CA his Journey or by
practising on tbs course, We have not un-
dcr5tood.
1t was but the day before his lamcness
was manifested, that his groom was IN high
spiriis-and expressed the greatest conf
deuce IN fis success. Should his mana
gcI decline TO run him, il will he II great
disappointment not only To the conuois-
sears, bur 10 the public at large. We have
seen men, who were previously indifferent
to such amusement, express n very great
interest in the race. The magnitude Of
the stake, the publicity of the schallenge,
the reputation OF the horses, their being of
the same blood, yet starting from different
parts of the country, nay, the very circum-
Isf.. a
! the other from the South seemed 10 have
! given an uncommon interest tothe contest.
Even the interest, produced by the Pre-
scntla1 Election, seemed 10 ne merged for
the nlomeet in these olympic games.
Many cnnnoscur will flock To Wash
lngton, who will leave it disappointed, II,
Sir Charles be really horS De comL.a the
adventures on him viii forfeit their stikes.
The visitors who throng to Washington,
will generally forfeit their time. Bat after
all, SIR Charles will not forfeit the reputa-
| tlon which he has won. "The race tsay
the scrptures) IS not always To the swlti,
nor the battle to the strong Sir Charles
may be unfortunate, without being Eclips
ed.
To increase, however, the interest of the
races as much as possible, 10 induce the
guests To- remnin IN the city, and to give Ell
Their OF tn competitors or both m opportu-
nifty 10 JON in the large sWeepstakc race,
the directors of the race have changed their
order. The largest purse To be put off till
the last day. They say il is "to increase
composition. w. We presume, To give Slr
| Charlt or ECLIPSE some breathing time and
enable them 10 run for the great stakes.

M Dogs.--Four children in Baltimore
have been bitten by mad dog, and mcdi-
cal aid, has been promptly afforded them,
aud it is hoped with good effect. From

the community. II is no reason, because
