ARzrvAL or THE LIvERPOoL.-The regu-
lar arrival Of this packet in sixteen days
by nautical computation another triumph
of the superiority of steam for certainty and
dispatch. Her voyage is said to have been
a very pleasant one.
She has brought out 96 passengers, who ar
rived in town last evening at 6o'clock. The
vessel was detained until this morning at the
Quarantine Ground, in consequence of a case
Of small pox occurring on board during the
voyage. She is now moored at ner usual
berth.
She brings London dates to the evening Of
the 10Th of last month, and Liverpool to the
Goth, her day of sailing-making accounts
ten days later than by previous arrivals.
The English news is not very interesting
Our boundary question had ceased to excite
any interest, the principal topic discussed ii
Parliament being the West India affairs.
Money continued scarce, and it was suppo
sed the Bank would persevere in curtailmen
till the foreign exchange became more favor
able. The duty on grain had risen, but &C
cording to private letters fresh orders were
going to the continent for it, in the antlclpa
ton that before harvest the prices in England
would rise, and the duty consequently fall.
In Cotton, as in most commercial articles
and dealings, there was pause induced bJ

This morning Chief Justice Gibson read
the opinion of the Court on the motion for
a new trial in the Presbyterian case. The
opinion was brief, considering the mass OF
testimony, and the length Of argument sub
mitted by the counsel, stating for the most
part, merely the conclusions to which the
court had arrived, without going into the rea-
sons leading to such conclusions. 1t deci-
ded that the exscinding resolutions" as
they are called, passed by the general as
sembly of 1887, were not only constitution
al, but also just that they were not to be con-
sidered in the aspect of judicial sentence,
but as legislative act; that they did moth
ing more than dissolve the four synods, which
it was conceded the assembly had right to
do; that the act being within the power Of
that body, its reasons for performing it could
not be reviewed by a civil tribunal; and, as
the consequence of all this, that the persons
claiming to be commissioners from presby-
teries within the exscinded synods, to the as
sembly of 1888, had no color Of right to
seats in that body. Further, the court deci-
ded that, while on these grounds, the pro-
ceedings of the New School had been unjus-
tifiable, they had been in themselves entire.
ly irregular, even on the supposition that
the excluded commissioners had been enti-
tied 10 seats that Mr.. Cleveland had no
right to put question to the house that a
separate organization was intended by the
New School, and that the jury had given a
verdict utterly inconsistent with the evidence.
Judge Rogers dissented from the opinion,
declaring in few words his adherence to
his original judgment. A new trial was
awarded.

Ssvorable Spring-one promising q more
shnndant harvest. Weather croakeFs are at
fault for. want Of something to complain of.
Alternate sunshine and rain succeed each

at the same time, the farmer has not been
deferred by bad weather from putting in his
spring crops. Wheat, all accounts far and
near, concur in saying, looks remarkably

a heavy yield of this great staple OF western

prosperity of agriculture depends their sue

turn of fruitful seasons.-NiGgGrG Courier.
We are informed that Wheat never looked
more promising at this season of the year,
than il doesIat present. So far we have en-
loved a most propitious season. The fine
showers of Wednesday last must have glad
dened the farmers heart as they seemed
alone wanting to crown his wishes. In view

price of Wheat has declined trife.-Gene-

AMUSING CHANGE.-A laughable incident
is given in the Natchez Free Trader, as &C
companying the catastrophe of one steam
boat running into another. The impression
of the officer of each boat was that his boat
would 20 down, and they called, each 10 the
other, right Justify for relief. The passen-
gers, too, conceiving that there was no safety
in remaining upon the boat in which they
then were, Immediately changed places, and
after five minutes confusion those of each
found themselves in the undisturbed posses
sion of the deck of the other. By this time
the dust had cleared away little, and it was
found that nothing serious had occurred to
either boat.
