returning from Detroit was out during the entire
blow, but suffered no damage whatever.
On Saturday night and Sunday last we had anotll-

dtonal damage must have been incurred by the
stranded vessels. unless they had been got of and
moored out of danger.

and Sunday last the water was much raised in the
Black Rock Basin, to cause serious damage TO the

cited some interest and much doubt We do not speak

I'd by tie Press is strictly and The
why has been heard from other sources, IS Obvious,
will explain all seeming mystery. The officers OF the
Brandy wine, considering that the circumstance vt the Ma
IONS Guest having been sent out III an rsea~orhy Nesse

that the government Washington, at this moments have

DESHA. THE MURDERER.-A letter to
one Of the Editors Of the Lynchbnrg Virginian,
from Lexington (Kentucky) says "that petitions
were IN circulation IN that state, signed by the two
Juries which had convicted Desha, and others, pray
ing his retpase-on the grounds, lst, that it is i'm
possible to procure another Jury in the State and

very much to clog and retard business. We should
not be surprised justice should be last defeated

passion OF mankind"
LAWN July last case was tried in the An
trim Assizes. in Ireland, involving the validity OF
the nsolyent laws Of the several States of the Union
John S. Ferguson & Co, were plaintiffs, and Alex
ander Cranston defendant, in case of debt which
had been decided the year before in favor of the de-
PENDANT, in consequence Of his having taken the ben
eft of the insolyent laws OF New York. In this
latter trial the plaintiffs produced certified copy OF
the Constitution of the United States which con
tanned the following clause, viz: "No separate
State shall pass any law which shall render void
the obligation of contracts sc. Able counsel
we're employed on both sides, and the Judge gave
in charge to the Jury 4" That if they believed Mr..
Stewart acted faithfully in procuring copy Of
the Constitution Of the United States they ought
to find verdict for the plaintiffs" In few min
utes the Jury returned verdic, Tor the plaintiffs oil
claim.
Unless the debt was contracted before the passage
OF the insalvent law Of New York, under which the
defendant in the above case had been discharged,
is manifest thai the ultimate decision of the IrI h
Court was wrong. Because The State OF New York
did not pess law rendering void the obligation oil
this contrast; for it did not then exist Again the
Ultimate decision of the Court was wrong, for the
contract was made with knowl dye by the parties
of the existence Of the nsolven law referred to, and
consequently all the provisions OF that law were in
the contemplation OF the contracting PARTIES the
plaintiffs knowing that the defendant could avail
himself OF its provisions, they contracted with view
to such contingency. A man giving his note does
NOT say in the contract that if he fails to pay the
other party may send him to Jail, but the law says
and The contract is made with view to existing
laws bearing on il and these laws are as much
part of the contract il they written in the
body OF it. The lnsolvent laws, therefore, render
void the obligation of no contract except those
made prior to their enactment, and the decision of
The Irish Court has clearly rendered void the oblga
ton OF contract. Bait Pat.
