RHoDE-lsLANp Us MASSACHUSETTS,
The case before the U. S. Supreme Court
between this State aud Massachusetts, re-
specring the true boundary line, occupied
the Court for several days last week. A
motion having been made by the defis. to
dismiss the bill, by reason Of want of juris-
diction, the question was argued by the
Counsel on both sides, but had not been
decided at The last dates. The facts of the
case in question are briefly these:
BY the charter of Massachusetts Bay,
the Southern boundary Of that Colony was
fixed AT line running East and West
through the head of Charles river. A CEN
nry ago ar upward, Commissioners were
appointed to run the line, and they fixed
upon the head iof Charles River and run
the line accordingly. Rhode Island COM
planned at the time, that the Commissioners
did not fix upon the true head of the river,
hut thar another head farther north, was
the true head; and she now seeks to set
aside the old boundary and to establish a
new one, which would give her n little
strip of territory with about five thousand
Observation-Disclosures atlas.

Extract from letter to a gentleman an thus
eitv. dated BALTIMORE, FEB. 3. 8 a. m.
"iwrite you in haste, for the purpose of
informing you of the dreadful conflagralion
of Cooks Circus. At a quarter past five
this morning, fire was seen bursting out
from the back part of the theatre, and be-
fore any ofthe horses could be got out, the
whole building was in one complete mass
Of fire. Every thing is destroyed; between
forty and fifty horses, performing dogs.
goats, deers, all the magnificent wardrobes; |;
indeed, every thing attached to this splendid
establ shment, now lie in heap of ruins.
Mr.. Whnhy, the head groom, had barely
time to seize his clothes, which were hang
ing over his head in the stable, but had the
presence Of mind, though surrounded by
smoke, to open the gate and let loose the
horse Mazeppa but he would not or could
not get out. Another yonng man, who was
sleeping there, had to make his escape
through a window, cutting himself dread
fully. The doctor has just dressed his
wounds al my house. The walls have lust
fallen in, and the neighborhood is in great
confusion and distress at NJ. Cooks loss"
Another account states 40 horses were
lost and that the value of oil the property
destroyed will not probably fall shor, Of
$4,000!

Bold Piliainy.-The New York papers
contain accounts of stupendous fraud
which has been discovered by the vigilance
of the police in rha, city, of which we give
the following outline. II appears that
Charles Sterns and w. J. Ames, residing
in New York, and VIM. Pitcher formerly
of Ohio, contrived by forging letters and
orders 10 gain possession Of the original
hank note plates of the Bank o: Kentucky.
From these, impressions were struck to the
amount of $4,000 nv Messrs. Burton,
Gurley & Edmonds, 26 Wall street, who
were led TO suppose the work, to be for the
bank to which The plates belong. The
conduct of the rogues was such as to lead
to suspicion on the part Of the engravers
that all was not right, and on conferrinc
with the agents of the bank here, the for
gerry ofthe letters and order was discovered; !;
and application being made to the police,
the two principal operators in this pro6ta-
ble speculation were arrested and locked
up. The proof Of their guilt is so strong
that there is no doubt sfiheir conviction.

The Tables Turned.-When the Com
Inonwcalth Bank Of Boston failed, the wing
papers from the Boston Atlas dawn to the
" little daily" of our city, were loud and
boisterous in their denunciations of its nian-
ayers they were, as they SAID, democrats,
(shey were conservatives in fact, and breIh-
rem of the same principles with the wings,
50 far at least MS banks and banking are
concerned,) and forthwith their names and
the names Of real and supposed debtors
were paraded before the public, courled
with unmeasured abuse. Crocodile tears
were shed in great profusion for the poor
fishermen and others holding Common
wealth bills, together with quantum
sufficit of slang about Jackson, Van Buren,,
Tory, Loco Foeo, and the wicked Admins
,ration. Witt, the past week the American
and kilby banks Of Boston, both thorough
going whig banks. and managed entirely by
wings of the first water, have failed. When

not solitary word appears in the whiy pa.
pers about profligate managers and debtors
not tesr is shed, or a word of cum
misera,Ion uttered for the poor " fishermen
or others holding their bills. We confess
we are astonished that Mr.. Biddle's wbiy
friends, who manage the associated wbip

number to fail. We expect them to ext r,
