Important Decision An action was

MIR. BcllInap, plaintiff, to recover of the
former the value of trunk and it's con-
tents, entrusted to their care by Mr.. b.,
for transportation to Philadelphia. 1t
was not contended for the plaintiff that
the property in question had been deliv-
cred to the especial care Of any of the de-
fendant's agents, or servants, but merely
that he had itin his possession, and placed
it in their Office on paving his fare as q
passenger to Phiiadelph;s, and that wb;!s
so stu ted il wSs lost or stolen. On
these grounds and more especially be-
cause the company publicly advertised that
they did not insure any property left 10
their charge, nnd would not be RESPONSE
BILE in the event of loss or accident the
counsel for the defendants insisted upon
IA verdict for his clients. On the other
side, it was contended that although the
defendants did give notice that they refus

erty falling into their possession in the
regular course Of their business, yet their
edets were utterly fi.iiis, and OF no avail,
and they were liable, both in equity and
law, for the loss or destruction, under
such circumstances, Of any chattels or
goods belonging to other persons. The

MoDILr, Sept 30.-Our city begins TO
fill rapidly with strangers, and the pros
pect is, that we shall have, during the en-
suing season, large accession Of popu-
lation over that OF last season, unusually
large as that was Still the increase of
numbers does not keep pace with the in
crease of business. there are sure signs
OF prosperous season,-a crop largely
beyond that Of any other year, aud all
immense inland commerce. The city is
at this moment one-fourth larger than it
was twelve months since houses have
been raised as rapidly as the force Of our
mechanics would permit, aud still the de-
mand is unsatisfed. From all quarters
there are numbers pressing in, and where
month or two hence they will be able to
find accommodation, will be perplexing
question to those who come last.
The early influx of population is in
some degree to be attributed to a kno~l-
edge abroad Of the uninterrupted healthi'
ness of the city. The summer has pass
ed without any prevailing disease, and in
deed, with even less than usual Of the
common complaints ofthe season. Those
OF our friends who are abroad will be glad
to hear that VIC have enjoyed, and have
every prospect Of efcontinsing to enjoy per-
feet good health.

Great Swimming A short time since,
of says Galignani's Messenger, eight
the best swimmers Of the Austrian gar
rison of Bregcnz engaged for wager to
swim across Lake Constance, from that
town i'll tho Tyrol for Lineau, a distance
of nearly six miles, they started at 10 o.
clock, and at three minutes before 3 o.
clock Il private soldier named Tutaja,
reached the bridge at Lindau. In 80
minutes afterwards he was followed by
1t. Ccphsrowitsch, The 6 others only
went about half the distance, and then
wore taken into the boats that attended
them. The wind was blowing from the
west, and the temperature of the water
was II degrees of Reaumer, or 10 ! A of
Iiatrrhoit. This is perhaps the greatest
distance ever traversed by swimming in
fresh water. The two men who complet-
cd lacr task wore pelectly blue when

ceplabl,, aud several hours elapsed before
their bodies resumed their natural heat.
