% no one Of the grounds pssss constituted .
Il aud in law or fact. Tn learned Judge then
went over the different points ~ TO fraud, and
proved that there was nothing TO either Of
them. He aniIpadverted with great severity
upon the custom house officers Of 1925; said
that they were not only negligent and lazy,
but unfaithful; that the fraud were caused by
acts Of theirs, not only Of omission, but OF
commission. and that they actually threw the
shield Of la wfulness over the whole transaction
by furnishing Thomson with documentary proofs
Of fairness. As 10 the point OF Floyd 5. Bailey
being an acknowledged accomplish OF Thomp-
son in the tea frauds, and the plaintiffs agent
and the plaintiff being responsible for his acts,
the Judge said it was so, il Bailey was a general
agent Of plaintiff: but not if an agent for par
ticular purposes; which was The real fact the
jury was to determine. Upon the point that
the transfer to NicOll was II full assignment OF
property, emitting only a trivial part, which
realised 10 the assignees but $4,000; and that
being SO, Nicoll was seized Of the transferred
property TO the use OF the United States in the
same manner as any general assignee would
be; the learned Judge decided that if the jury
believed it was the intention Of Nicoll and
Thompson to execute an instrument to defraud
the U. States Of their priority, the transfer was
void as 10 the preference, and Nicoll stood as
assignee Tor the Dcnent oil creulOTs, ana Inc
amount not assigned would be no alteration OF
the thing. if it were trivial and merely omitted
colorably, with a view TO carry on the deceit
with greater effect The jury must be fully
satisfied of such an intention; fraud was never

Jury would Of course look at the fact that
Thompson still continued his mercantile trans
actions as usual and did not make a general
assignment until compelled. The judge COM
mented upon the point, whether a mortgage
of all property would be an assignment under
the act, but gave no decision. As to the
question Of damages, the judge left it entirely
to the jury; if they were satisfied the right Of
properly was in the plaintiff then the taking
by tho marshal was illegal, and moderate conf
pensatory, but not vindlctive damages should
be given, the verdict would be for plaintiff,
for the amount Of damages agreed upon, and
not for the value Of the property, that being
already in Plaintiffs hands; or for defendant.
The plaintiff claims about $4,000 DANA
ges.
After the jury went out, E. Thompson, who
had been committed for contempt in not CIV
ing testimony, was discharged by the court,
on presenting an affidavit that he declined
merely on account of indisposition, and not
disrespect.

LEU lONS.
I've pleasant thoughts, that mem'y brings, In moments
free from care,
Oft fairy like and laughing girl, with roses In Ter hair;
Her smile was like the star light If summers softest skies,
And worlds of joyousness there shone, from out her witch
Ing eyes.
Her looks were looks Of melody, her voice was like the swell
OF sudden musc-notes of mirh, that Of wild gladness tell
She came like spring, with pleasant sounds Of sweetness
and Of mirth,
And her thoughts were those wild, how'ry ones, that lingcr
not on earth.
A quiet goodness benm'd amid the beauty Of her face,
And all she said and did, was with its own instructive grace,
She looked as If she thought the w,rld a good and pleasant
one, .
And her light spirit saw no III, in all beneath the sun.
I've dream'd of just such creatures-bu. they never mot my
view
Mid the sober, dull realty, in their earthly form and hue,
And her smile came gently over me, like springs first,
scented airs, "tr.
And made me think the world not all, a wilderness Of csres.
I know not of her destiny, or where her smile now plays
But the thought Of her comes DER me, with my own lost
sunny days,
With moonlight 'hours-and summer friends, and many
pleasant things,
That have gone the way Of all the earth, on Times resist
less wings. ELLA.

LIFE OF WAsHINGToN.-It is generally
known that our distinguished co%untryman, MI.
Sparks, went 10 Europe last Spring, in order
to collect materials for illustrating tho life of
Washington, and the most important events of
our history, from the beginning Of the struggle
for independence. In July last. he proceeded
from Germany to Paris, has been constantly
employed in that capital, in searching the
public archives for papers, diplomatic and mil
itary, relating to our revolution, and the old
French war in the colonies. As Paris was the
centre Of all the diplomatic concerns connoc-
ted with America, the documents are numerous
curious and valuable. Mr.. Sparks has expe-
rienced The utmost liberality and comfy, on
the part of the ministers in whose departments
the papers are deposited, and very earnest
aid from French gentlemen Of eminence. A
kindly feeling towards the United States seems
to be almost universal in France. All the
correspondence of DR.. Franklin with the French
cabinet has come under the eye Of Mr.. Sparks.
The Doctor sustains, in every part of it, a dig
nifed, independent, and truly patriotic charac-
ter. We shall, in all lik likelihood. see a full re-
~futation of the charge or story Of pliancy to
the wishes Of vergennes, which has been cop
led into the newspapers from Mr.. Cooper,s
EMOTIONS of a Travelling Bachelor" Mr..
Sparks will return to London to prose cute his
researches there. In that capital, also, he is
permitted to examine the diplomatic cores
pondence and military papers, and TO make
abstracts and selections. Some Of the wing
noblemen in particular have entered warmly
into his objects. The Marques of Lansdowne
has opened to him all the papers of his father
Lord Shelburne, respecting The peace of 1888.

LETTERING. /.
To Henri M. Ridgeiy, Esq.


Sir, You have SO long CLOSED over your ambi-
tons designs, by shew OF seeming lrankness and
pretended candour, that it is time your conduct
should be exposed to the view of candid public.
Your apparent deneanour indicates temper which
has deceived many--but it shall deceive no longer.
Before you were elected Senator of the United
States, you proessed to several gentlemen, who, as
you knew were friendly to the administration, all
aversion to Gen jackson. You distinctly stated to
one Of them. that you despised the eiectoneerng let
ter of Jackson, written at the time Of the resigna-
ton of his seat in the Senate of which you are
inc nber and you have not forgotten that you then
said to him . BIZ God! after NM letter 1 tcoua
1euer vote for him for any thing !" To another,
you declared that you thought the administration
ought to be fairly supported, and you dsapproved OF
the conduct of such were intriguing to tea down
the Government. You said these thinSs before you
were elected Senator, and if you lure 70 deay
the truth of either of these statements, they Shall
be proved upon you on the oath of witnesses, OF
the most respectable cnaracer You used these
declarations to bring ABOUT YOUR ELECTION
TO The SENATE. How have you redeemed
the pledges YOU had given How meanly have you
forfeited your word How despicably have you
dsgraced your office as Senator iou have
stood in the 'sfrort of the front rank Of the calum
nators Of the Government, and you are now the
boon companion of Duff Green, and all the filth of
the Combination.
Your former sayings, and your opinions on ano-
ther subject, shall be brought TO light in future
number. You now pretend to be friend to man
whom you have vfed. This shall be the subject
of another letter.
| / design to wait reasonable time for your an
swer to the facts published in this letter, and DEFY
you 20 deny them The names OF the WI illnesses
who will convict you, shall be left with the printer,
and YOU shall hear from me again when you shall
venture before the public. You have rpened in po-
litcal iniguity, and now you shall be puckedi;;-
