G5 The New York Star, Of a recent
date observes "The keeper Of one of our
principal hotels, sent on Saturday 800
note to one of our pet banks for silver,
but was refused it, only $40 being given,
and 800 in gold. He then sent the gold
to broker, who charged half per cent
to exchange it for half dollars"

A letter from Liverpool, ofthe 2ad ult.,
published in the New York Gazette,
gives the following melancholy account
of Mr. BARRY our new Minister to Spain;
"The American Minister, MIR. BARRY
to the Court of Spain, is stopping at the
same house with myself. His sleeping
apartment is directly opposite mine, and
if | can form an opinion from what hear
and see, he is much more likely to go ve-
ny shortly a far longer journey than from
hence to Madrid. He appears to be ra-
pidly sinking under consumption scarce
ever quits his bed, and coughs coutinu.

"Severnl of the Slave States, by their
Governors, and at public meetings, have
offered large reward, Zone as high as
Fifty Thousand Dollars,) for the person
of Arthur Tappan of New York the lead
or ofthe Abolltionists."
4 Our friend of the Albany Gazette is
mistaken none Of the Governors OF
| the Slave States have offered a reward
for the Arthur Tappan, nor have we
seen any authentic account OF any pub
lie meeting having done so. A Philadel-
phia paper stated that twenty thousand
dollars had been offered for the deiye-

incorrect and unworthy Of credit

Jackson Superior Court.-We learn
that during the last term of the Circuit
Superior Court in Jackson county (held

entitled to place in our columns.
On the trial of d case wherein the
commonwealth was Plaintiff against

court whereupon the court (Judge

the court summarily suspended his liz

Thus much we gather from mem
bers of the Bar, who were present.
We understand that during the same
term witness was fined $40, and or
dered TO be imprisoned fifteen days, for
refusing to give testimony before the
