The Public Meeting. held last evening at the
CITY Hallby the friends of MIR. Clay, answered
the highest expectations of those who invited as
well as those who attended it. 1t was probably
the most numerous meeting of deiberative cha
ractcr which ever assembled in the city, even
where the objects have been free from party dis
tinctions. II was indeed surprisingly large. con-
siderng the great numbers of our citizens either
in the public employment themselves or having
relations in the public employment, who could
not, therefore, be present. however heartily they
approved of the object of the meeting, without
dIsreyarding every consideration which prudence
suggests in these DAYS of prescription and pun
lShment OF p0iltlCai OPINION.
Mr.. Nathan Smith presided, assisted by
Messrs. ]. Bender and Il. c. Weightman; and
Messrs. p. Force and George Sweeny, acted as
secretaries. Several resolutions were reported
by committee, (of which Gen. Walter Jones
was chairman.) eminently forcDle and eloquent,
and were ADOPT with great applause and una,
nimity. Several gentlemen also addressed the
meeting at considerable length, and with power.
full effect, and the assembIage did not adjourn
till about 10 O'Clock at night.

1t is with no ordinary degree of satisfaction
that we announce to the public the decision which
has been pronounced BY the Circuit Court Of this
District in the case of the United States against
Mr.. Nourse, late Register of the Treasury
The apparent harshness of the proceeding against
this venerable and estimable citizen, first eject
ing him from an office which he had worthl y oc-
cupied since the date of his appointment by Gen.
Washington. followed up by his public denOunce-
ment as defaulter in Office, and by the proceed
inc against him by the unusual process of war
rant of distress, had excited large portion of
public sympathy. The District Judge, after a
full examination of the case, granted and perpe
tuated an injunction prohibiting the United
States from proceeding on this warrant. This
case was brought by appeal on the part Of the
United States to the Circuit Court, and, after a
full argument extending through two entire days,
the decision has been affirmed by the unanimous
decision of the court. 1t is to be hoped that the
matter will now be considered as at rest-that
Mr.. Nourse will be held no longer as defaulter,
as has been heretofore pretended, but as hav-
ing an equitable and fair claim now sustaoed
throughout BY the judgment of two courts, to the
amount of about $4,000 against the Govern
ment.-ibid.
