EPITAPHS.
An inscription in Kingston church-yard,
Surrey. seems to be composed on the jucicious
precept Of Butler:
For brevity is very good,
Where we are, or are not, understood.
1t is as follows:
Live well, die never;
Die well, and live forever.
One on a young man at Chinchester will
not be read without emotion:
Art thou in health and spirits gayo
too was so the other day;
And thought myself of life as safe,
As thou who read'st my epitaph.
The good people of Newcastle seem IA
ceiious generation; and i: is blessing worth
coveting, to die in their neighborhood, should
the bard still live who wrote this epitaph:
Here lies Robert Wallis, the king of good fell
lows,
Clerk of Allhallows, and maker of bellows;
He bellows did make I'LL the day of his death,
But he that made bellows, could never make
breath.
An old fisherman of Kent, is thus remem-
bered in the chnrch-yard of Hythe:
His net old fisher George long drew,
Shoals upon shoals he caught.
Till Death came hauling for his due,
And made poor George his draught.
Death fishes on through various shapes
la vain it is to iret;
Nor fish or fisherman escapes
Deaths all enclosing net.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
We are indebted to the politeness of the Hon.
NATHANIEL SEARLE, for the loan ofthe New York
Evening Post Of yesterday, which contains a long
and elaborate opinion of Judge Van Ness in the case
:" United States of America, VS.. $50 chests Of Hyson-
skin Tea, marked f. T. Joshua Lippincott and Will
liam Llppincott, claimants" This was an action of
libel, brought by the United States, for the recove-
ny of said Tea, which had been imported by Ed
ward Thompson, of Philadelphia, and sold by him
to the defendants. The Teas were properly enter
ed, and went through all the formalities of the Gus
tom-House, and a general bond was given by
Thompson. They were deposited in the Govern
ment stores, as collateral security for the payment
of the duties. Subsequently, Thompson, who held
the keys of the warehouse, entered and sold a large
quantity of the Teas, and soon after became bank
rupt.
After the disclosure Of his bankruptcy, the United
States seized the teas, then in the hands of second
holders, and this suit was brought to try the validi-
ty of the seizure, on the ground that they were for
feited by having been removed from the Custom
House Stores, before the duties had been paid.
Judge Van Ness, by his opinion, sustains the
claim oithe United States, and has decreed a for
fixture but in closing his opinion, expresses a hope
that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court
Tor review. 1t is the opinion Of jurists, that thede-
cree Of Judge Van Ness will be confirmed in the
Court above. We understand that large quantities
Of these teas, situated in the same manner, are now
holden by purchasers in Boston. This may be law,
but it cannot be justice, and we hope the decision
will be reversed in the upper Court.

To CoRREsPoNDENTs.-We are compelled, to
apologize to Il" E" for the omission of his favor in
this number of the Cadet.
CANDIDATE, has our thanks for his good inten-
tons, but if he had observed the course we have
pursued, he would have known, that his article
would not find a place in our columns.
TAR TO MARGATE. The author Of this pro-
duction is informed that we cannot consent to pub
lish an unfinished communication. If he will for
ward US the remaining part of the story, the whole
shall have our attention. If We were to publish
the part forwarded, there would not be a reader
who could conjecture its meaning or i~ntention.
The writer is evidently a gentleman Of creditable
talents and attainments, and we should be pleased
to hear from him.
. The criticism of AZ" came toe late for this pa
per. Some Of the remarks of the writer may be
Just and merited, and without intending TO be i'll
natured we must remark to him, that it is one thing
to ~crificise, and another to abuse.

CAPT. JOHN cLEvEs sYMMEs.

This far.famed Lecturer on the concavhy OF .ne
earth and The doctr;ue of the spheres, arrived in
town Yesterday. and will this evening give a Lee
ture at the Franklin Hall. Capt. Symmes' theory,
from its novelty, has excited much interest and
SPECULATION among the learned and unlearned, and
although he has often been combatted by the first
talents of the country, thus far he has not met with
an opponent able to discover any absurd'ty or false
reasoning IN his propositions.
Wberever he has lectured, he has strongly i'm
messed his hearers with the reasonableness of his
theory, if he has not actually made proselite s =
and as his fame has anticipated his marches, and AS
he certainly can instruct if he cannot convince, 1t Is
hoped that o numerous audience will attend his
Lecture. It is not impossible that some Of US may
live to see his theory proven to the utter astonlsh-
ment of sceptics.

BANK RETURNS. Several errors have occurred
in the Returns Of the Banks, some OF which we
believe are in the original copy. In that OF the Mer-
chants Bank, in Providence, it should be for Depos-
its, Sill $50 48, instead of 1852 40. In that OF
the r.. l.. Central Bank, S127, or is given as the
debts due from the Directors. The figure one AT
the left hand, stricken out, would make it correct.
We shall print it, as corrected by the Sec,atary, in
a seperate sheet The following is the aggregate Of
the several columns in the Return:

Mr.. RANDOLPH AND JOHN II. PLEAsANTs.

Mr.. RANDOLPH AND JoHN II. PLEAsANTs.
By the steamboat Washington, Capt. Bunker,
we received New-York papers of Thursday, which
contain copies Of letters addressed to John Ran
dolph of Roanoke, and to the Editor of the Nation
al Journal, by John II. Peasants, Esq. editor of the
Richmond Wing. These letters were elected
from Mr.. Peasants, by a scurrilous attack made
upon him by Mr.. Randolph, in one of his speeches
recently delivered in the United States Senate, in
the course of which he charged him with being a
duellist-the p~ro6igate son of a worthy father
ofconducting a corrupt pres, bought up by the adj
ministration-and Of having disgraced himself in
certain transactions with the bank of Lynchburg, in
consequence of which, Mr.. Randolph said, he was
obliged to fee to Richmond. Mr.. Peasants, on
hearing Of the denunciations of Mr.. Randolph, i'm
mcdiately repaired to Washington for redress. The
course he has pursued has been a wise one, and the
honest pride and retiring modesty which pervade
his letters, bespeak the feelings and sentiments of
the man. We publish extracts only:
"Thus, sir, have | met, and l hope
refuted to your satisfaction the disgrace
full charges you made against me in
the Senate of the United States. Ifthis
effect is produced on your mind, l then
throw myself upon your magnanimity to
acknowledge it, and to render me JUS
tice. Our relative situations give me
an additional claim to this redress. Re-
presenting the sovereignty Of Virginia,
known tc the whole Union, placed by
your age and character so high in pub
lie opinion over me, | cannot hope to
parry the effects Of your Remuneration,
but by your W acknowledgement that
you have spoken under erroneous con-
victions. /, sir! was too obscure an in
dividual to have deserved your Sena-
torial apprehension; but | hope ! am not
too obscure to be unworthy Of that jus.
tice which every citizen has a right to
