The Circuit Court for this county was opened on Monday last, in the spacious brick building just erected for the purpose, Judge SAFFoLD presiding. This substantial edfce displays taste and conven- ence in the arrangements of all its parts, not to be found elsewhere in the State. The court room which occupies the whole ofthe second story, is very large and has the Judges seat at extreme end of it. elevated some three or four feet above the floor To the right and left of the Judges seat boxes or circular seats for the jures which under the eye of the Judge, and separate from those of the bar, by broad circular passage. In front is con- siderable space allotted for the tables of the clerk, and his assistants, well for the witnesses, which are to be called in and sworn. Behind this rise cir cuar seats like those in theatres, intended for mem bers of the ba and still further back gallery for spectators On the same floor, but at the opposite end of the from the Judge's seat, two small rooms about twelve feet square, situated each side of the stair-way, with doors facing the Judge, and which are intended for the jures to retire to- and make up their verdict. Next to the walls each side of the room, and between the jury boxes and the lobby for spectators seats for the sheriff and his assistants, which places them convenient to the court anu +'ar' DeihS uPou 'he secoho HUT oi 'ie building the court will be less interrupted by noise, which in the construction of most Court Houses, is difficulty of great magnitude. The basement sto- " of the house is divided into several rooms for the different county officers and it is difficult to devise building more convenient in all its arrangements for county purposes than the new Court House of Tus' caloosa.
 We learn that owing to the absence of most of the bar, who have been detained by high water, ve- y little business was transacted the first day of Court.

Manufactures are being erected in New
