The Custom House Bond.-fhe case OF the
United States against Messrs. Holmes, Maz!yck'
aud Gadsden, was concluded yesterday alter
noon. at half past five o'clock, after the most AMI
mated discussion of the various points which
arose during the trial His Honor Judge Lee
gave his opinion about noon. on the question
made the day before, and ruled that 1t was not
competent to the defendants to go into the tonsl-
deration of the bond, or the constitutionaIIty OF
the Tariff, under the plea of the general issue
The defendants counsel then contended, that
they were at liberty to 90 into that defence, by
giving notice to ;Ia, effect, in filing the same
plea, in analogy to the practice under the a's'
oyerruled. The case was then submitted to the
Jury, who returned, after some consultation with
a verdict for the United States, supporting the
affirmative of the plea, viz: That the bonds were
the deeds of the defendants; and that was the
only question submitted to them.

A writer in the Baltimore Patriot who has
been travelling in Virginia, visited Mr.. MADISON,
and gives the following account Of his interview
with that distinguished statesman. 1t will be
read with INTEREST,"
A day passed IN the society of Mr.. Madison.
aiirhted at his cOmmOdious mansion about 10,
and designing to overtake mes cOmpagnons de
voyage-requested the servant not to put up the
horses; beguiled IN conversation, unconscious OF
the passage of time but by its gain, was astound-
ed when summoned to dnuer at three. con-
versation SO replete with interest, with instruct

converse with the learned dead be a profitable
and peasurable employment, how much more
valuable and gratifying an intercourse with the
illustrious living. treasure his remarks as ele.
CANT extracts from an animated fountain OF vr-
tue, wisdom and knowledge, matured by the prac-
teal experience of half century devoted to pc.
lit,cs. literature and science. Mr.. Madison
lives in state of patrarchal simplicity and ele,
sance, resembling our own Carroll, and unlike
all other octogenarians, whose memory only
serves them to retrace by gone evcnts-he takes
a deep interest in the incidents of the day, and
in the tranquil shades of his native mountains, in
full possession Of his original vigorous concep-
tons, an all-wise Providence seems to have de-
signed that he should-long continue to be bea-
con light. to guide, instruct enlighten and bless
his country-and his most exemplary and devot-
ed partner, blooming in the freshness OF unlad-
ing youth, seems as if allotted to him BY heaven.

cheer his declining years and shield him from the
diseases incident to scnility:-his venerable mo-
Their expired at 9!-her sense Of sight. hearing,
aud capacity to impart as well as enjoy happi-
ness, sustaining her to the last moment of well
spent and useful life.
Mr. Calhoun having made an allusion to Mr.
Madison's sentiments in his multiplying address,
it was suggested that some notice of it might be
expedient, but he intimated that Mr.. C's. faIla-
cies were so stale, so oft refuted, yct falaces in
universal live) that it were work OF supereroga-
ton now to notice them.
Speaking of Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Madison re-
marked, that ON reading an Grafton delivered by
him when youth, unknown to fame, he express
ed his conviction that he was destined to fill a
large space in public esteem, that he then deve-
Hoped genius and gave assurance OF those brilliant
talents which have since electrified the Senate, and
exalted his reputation an orator and statesman,
to the apex of fame.
In the reputation, health and prosperity Of our
Distinguished townsman, Mr.. Writ, he manifest

found him to be one of her most cherished sons.
