The Supreme Court closed its adjourned
session, on Saturday. The female who was
convicted of an assault, was fined twenty dol
lars, and costs Three the four individuals,
who were indicted for a riot were found gull
ty One Of them was sentenced to be mpris-
oned for one month, and to pay fine of 200
dollars, with costs-thc other to Imprisonment
for ten days and TO pay fine Of 30 dollars,
with costs The third forfeited his recogni-
sance. Judge Eddy, in passing sentence on
the female, censured in very severe language,
those who are in the habit ofireqgenting hou-
ses Of prostitution; and the tenor of his re-
marks was very far from confirming the opln-
ion, which prevails among a certain kind Of
people, that such houses and their inmates
are at the mercy of all disposed to assault the
one, or to destroy the other.

Col Rogers, the Cashier of the Exeter
Bank, has very recently discovered more OF
he property, that was stolen from that insti'
tuition A batch of current, uncurrent and
= xeter bills, (ir all about six thousand dol
ars,) was found nearly mile from town, in
tone wall near the main road, The bills were
c1nsiderably damaged; but not so much, as to
prevent their bengredecmed blythe banks from
which they were originally issued. Malbone
Briggs, who is a remarkable illustration Of
the truth of the old adage, =" the Devil is al
ways good to his own,' pointed out to the
col the spot where they were concealed,
pocketed his reward, and is now taking his
comfort at Freetown, and enjoying the proof
positive, which his own case affords, that the
Devil is more than match for the lawyers,

On Tucsday,at i2 AMI BenlaminFrank
| in and the Chancellor Livingston left Provi-
ence together, for this place. Tire Franklin
irrived about ten minutes sooner thanthe 9TH
,r boat but if our information is correct, 1t
was not fair trial of speed. A passenger in
| he Livingston told us that some part of her
! machinery was out of order, and that Capt
CoggeshaIl had notified Capt, Bunker Of this
circumstance, requesting him not 10 compete
with him under such a disadvantage, II this
was the fact, the Captain ofthe Franklin has
but little reason toboast of his victory. II wa,
lhe first trial of the kind which has been made
in our waters; and we hope it will be the last
The safety Of passengers ought not to be en-
Iangercd for the qualification Of any man
tanity.

The result of the Ward elections in Phila
delphia, has been very favorable 70 Jackson
ISM, and me EDITORS, who support tho prelon
5ions Of the General, are loud in their exulta
ion. For oursclves,we are not at all sWPr's
I'd that in large commercial cities where tn
nass of the people arc corrupt and Ignorant
; and where there are thousands who would Sc
their vo:es for 4 glass of whskey, the cause q
Jackson should prosper. His character is cal
culated to dazzle those who can well enoug
understand and admire the valor that has bee
crowned with victory, but are unable ~ az
, areciate the less showy, but far more useit
, md enduring qualities Of tho accompIishe
statesman. There are thousands who supp"
y General jackson, without knowing or earn
= what consequences may follow his success
!, Many of the leaders of the opposition, at III
: North ARE restless ambitious men, who HOY
G for something better under new order
S things. A few may be acthated by better M
@ tves- but they are few indeed, IL appear
/. u to us that men, who can still uphold Jackso
e in despite Of all that has been told, and tru
too, concerning him, are blind to the light, al
}. deaf to conviction. "They have eyes, yet tho
see not--ears, yet they hear not" 1t is to Il
n honest and truly respectable portion of Il
u, people Of the United States that Mr.. Adam
~ looks for a re.eIec. .on-and if republican vi
:, tue holds still the ascendancy over US, he W
Dt not look in vain.
