Ledger, writing from Cape May, gives
the following as night or rather morning
scene in the main gallery of hotel
there.--The only thing we cannot under
stand is, how the correspondent happened
to be awake at sach time. We recon-
mend the husband to provide himself
with duplicate key:

the truth of this part of the conversation
"And this is the fourth night you have
been up half the night, playing cards and
stulfing crabs and champagne. IT'S too
bad"

And to my mind the case was clearly
settled--the tone this was uttered in leav-
ing little room for hope. After consid-

hen-pecked husband, no doubt, was cast

JUSTICE MERRITr's IMPE AcHMENr-A NEW
MovE.-The war between Justice Merritt and the
corporate authorities, seems to be assuming a novel
feature and hostile to what are termed chartered
rights
The learned counsel of the accused, finding that
all their breastworks, in the shape of objections to
the Jurisdiction of the County Court demolished
oy tine District Attorney, set up, shift their
ground and contend that their client ftriabe at all
must so before lower court. In this citadel they
reckoned on being perfectly secure but in the last
decision, Judge Ulshoefer clearly expressed this
doctrine that II the charge of perjury stood alone,
then he should send it to the criminal courts but az
that charge was connected with others, over which
the Sessions could have no jurisdiction, he con-
ceived that both ought to be tried together
As this decision completely brought the District
Attorney within the citadel the Justice and his
lawyers finding that they must come to close quar-
tiers, boldly resolved to make a sally and attack
the members of the Court For this purpose they
Instruct the Attorney General of the state to apply
to the Supreme Court, now sitting at Albany for a
writ in the nature of quo tcarranto. This appli-
cation made on Friday, pcrte, Of course, and
granted On Saturday morning the sheriff of the
city AMI county of New York received the manSa-
mus directing him to have his Honor Isaac l.. Va
rian, Mayor of the city, and the whole seventeen
Aldermen, if they be found in his bailwck and their
bodies bring before the Supreme Court in said city,
on the first Monday in May next. The writ was
served Saturday, and this novel and unprecedent-
ed application may perhaps give the Justice breath
ing time, and enable his legal advisers to make such
demonstration as shall satisfy the public of the in
nocence of their client.

TREMENDOUS SeUALL.-Yesterday afternoon
tornado passed this city which, for its severity
and suddenness, has not probably been beaten in
these parts for many years. II burst forth about
five o'clock, just as the people were returning home
from church, and the way it scattered them "was
not so slow" Ladies, who came out Of church in
most admired order, soon found themselves in the
most admired disorder. They were blows in
ry direction One big, black cloud, full Of thunder,
lightning wind and ran and dense cloud Of dust
whirled in great fury the city for five minutes,
and passed like great column Of sand sweeping
plain.
But the most singular appearance was the
water. A large water spout formed of Staten
Island, fully thirty feet in height, and hundred
in circumference which passed over to Long Island,
taking every thing in its course. An outward bound
brig fell in with il and almost stripped clean Of
her sales. II also nearly capsized the An Louisa
Several small boats upset in the river, and
boards, and awnings and signs were ripped off their
places and taken TO considerable distance by the
force Of the wind.
We have not heard that any very serious damage
was done.
