Death Of Mr.. Emaet. 1T is with feel.

EMMETT, Esq who has SO long stood
in the front rank Of eminent American
jurists, and whose gigantic legal attain
ments and powerful eloquence, have
thrown such lustre over the bar of New
York. There was something very So
Tenn and deeply affecting, in the sud
denness and manner of bis death He
may be said to have died on the field of
his victories, aud well earned renown.
| He was closely confined in court, dur
ing the trial ofthe Astor cause, in shicb,
on Monday last, he summed up in be-
half Of the plaintiff, in a mastery anG
elaborate address. The trial of the
Sailors Snug Harbour cases ensued, in
which he was also engaged We learn
that for two nights he had scarcely ia
ken any repose; and there is no doubt
that such intense and unremitied mental
occupation produced the shock which
| has terminated bis valuable life. He
was sitting in court yesterday, in the
forenoon, in apparent health, and was
conver.ing only few moments before
the event. He was observed TO lean
forward, with his head resting on bis
hand, or on the table, and when spoken
to, was found to be entirely insensible

The melancholy event produced a pro-

stoned oratory, which flowed from the
lips of this great lawyer. His vigour
seemed to remain unimpared to the
last, and be has died in the fulness of
bis fame, and at the height of his pro.
fession. We will not do injustice TO his
memory, by feeble attempt to charao.
terize the style of bis sloquence. This
task will, no doubt, be performed By
some of his able compeers, on whom it
will regularly devolve.
On the opening of the court. this NOR

announced the melancholy event, and
the court Immediately adjourned. The
