Judge DuraI.-we regret TO learn
that Judge Duval, Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States, has deter
mined to resign his Office, and will pro-
oabiy not take his seat on the bench
again. The reason is the growing in
firmitics Of age, which, though they do
not disqualify him, in the opinion of
Others, for the discharge Of the duties
OF his high Office, do, in his own opin-
ION, render the determination proper
to which he has arrived. The Hon.
Judge is 4 very aged man. having been
Secretary of the First Committee of
