We learn from the Richmond Compiler that
the Special Term of the Federal Court, con-
vcned there last Monday for the trial of the
three Spaniards charged with certain pratical
acts committed on board the brig Crawford.
Chief Justice Marshall took his seat at the
usual hour. The Grand Jury were called and
sworn; and after they had been charged by
the Chief Justice, Mr. Standard, the United
States District Attorney, rose to inform the
Court, that the witnesses summoned on the
part of the prosecution had not arrived; that
he had been advised b, letter from the own
er of the brig, that they had left New Yort
on the 5th inst. pnd of course, that they migi,
be every moment expected. The Court thor
adjourned til Tuesday, NJ IL O'Clock. Mr..
Dobson he .IIate) and Mr.. Ginouiihac (;,.e
passcnger) the witnesses in the above c:iss.
reached Norfolk on Tuesday last and proceed
ed Immediately for Richmond
The Captains OF two ships lately arrived from
Europe with passengers, were brought up be-
fore His Honor the Mayor, on Saturday morn
ing, charged with having brought paupers into
the city, sent out by the parishes. On inves-
tigaton it appeared that one Of them from
Liverpool had number whose passage was
paid for bv the parish. The Captain how er
declared that he had 10 knowledge oft as the
passengers were taken by broker wthou,
his knowing who advanced tho money. The
penalty in such cases is very heavy, and will
no doubt be enforced. II would be we'll for
ship owners TO be particular that such frauds
are not practised Oh them in future. NJ Y.

Destructive Fire About halfpast O'Clock
yesterday afternoon fire broke out in a car
pen,er's shop IN the rear of 274 Grand street,
between Eldsidge and Allen streets, which was
burned to the ground The unfinished brick
building in front on Grand street, owned by
Stephen Allen, Esq. was also DESTROYED, and 4
two story frame building IN Eldridge, next 10
the corner Of Grand street, owned by Mr.
Conkin. Several new two story brick houses
OH Eldridge street, the property Of Mr.. Charles
Hawkins, were more or less injured. Two

The Richmond Wing asserts, positively, that
Philip p. Markloy, then representative in
Congress from Pennsylvania, was the man who
made the overture to Gen. Jackson, as related
in the Generals letter to Mr.. Carter Beverly.
MIR. Markley was neither Clay nor an Adams
man originally, but a. Crawford man, and the
only representative from Pennsylvania who
attended the celebrated Crawford caucus AZ
terwards he vibratod between Clay and Ad-
ANS, and finally settled down in favor of the
latter. II is hardly probable, even had Mr..
Clay been corruptly inclined, that he would
have selected such an unstable agent. But
we shall know all about il in due time Mr.
Clay's reply to General Jackson, will reach us
shortly; and the probability is that cores
pondence will take place between Gen. Mark
ley and Gen. Jackson. All we have to say is
