NIcHOLASU, CHAFFEE,

With regard to the above mentioned gentle
man, as chroniclers of passing events, we give
facts as stated to US, upon what we deem good
authority. 1t appears that this gentleman has
issued small notes, generally denominated shin
plasters, and having been sued lately by sundry
individual holders of his notes, before Justice
SchaefTer, who gave judgement against him,
notwithstanding the plea set up by his counsel,
that they were an Illegal issue, and as such
could not be recovered, has fer some days pre-
vented civil process from being served upon
i'm, by ensconcing himself within.his distllery,
with several OF his workmen, armed. On Satur-
day evening last, however; A. j. Keller consta-
bic, arrested him on a State warrant, issued by
Justice Schaeffer, for having threatened to shoot
officer Campbell in the discharge of his duty. He
was then carried before Justice Brown, where he
entered into csgnizance for his good behavior
towards the officer named, and his appearance
at Baltimore County Court. Soon afterwards
he was met in the street by constable Campbell,
and after some resistance, that officer SUCCEEDED
in serving his process, which Mr.. Chaffee i'm
mediately cancelled by paying all the claims in
the hands Of the constable.

REAL ESTATE SAVINGS INSTITUTION.
An action was brought by Peter Sauerwine
and others, against Henry Baker, Joseph w.

certain amounts Of sundry certificates of depes-
lite, issued by the Real Estate Savings Institu-
ton, and signed by defendants. Aleeabus b.

ton Esq. council for defendants.
A hearing was had before Justice Schaefsr
on the 10th He, after holding it under advise
ment gave on the 18th, judgment in favor OF
the plaintiffs We give below Justice Schaefers
opinion in full, which embraces the several pleas
set up in defence by the council for defendants
Justice Schaeaers opinion in the case of the
Real Estate Savings Institution.
Peter Sauerwine, Henry Baker,
and Us. Joseph w. Stewart,
others, John w. Clark.
After an elaborate argument of the council on
both sides, and full examination of the cases
against defendants, signers ofsundry certificates
of deposite for certain sans therein named, and
received by persons protesting to be "Fhe Real
E,tate Saving Institution; have come to the
conclusion that the holders of the said certih-
Gates, have a legal right to sue, and that the
law does not require an assignment of the dePo'
sition to the holders of the certificates as was al
legged by the defence; the said certificates being
PAYABLE on demand, and bearing on their face
evidence of valuable consideration, and that the
nlea of abatement should have been pleaded on
trial in order to bring all parties alleged to OS
concerned in said issues.
ID. 1t was alleged on the defence, that the
signers of said certificates do not profess to pay
the bearer or holder. l hold that the signers
have held out to the community, that certain
persons therein named have deposited certain
sums in said concern, to be paid on demand
| These certificates have, in my opinion, become
matters of circulation, and in the hands oil bona
tide holders, are subject matters of such, render
inc the parties whose names are attached there
to responsible for the amount OF their respective
responsibilities. With due Difference to my wor-
thy brother magistrates, Justice Miltenberger
and Pennington, am of the opinion, which
give conscentously, that, after the elaborate ar
gument of the counsel engaged in the causes,
express the opinion, deliberately and conscien-
tiously formed and expressed, that, In the cases
now pending, the civil right Of action is not
merged BY the penal enactment of the act OF
1881, and that in all eases under said act, am
further of the opinion that the civil right is not,
and cannot by any proper construction OF said
act, be merged by the penalty, and further, that
there was no proofs adduced on trial that the
issues aforesaid were circulated contrary to the
provisions of said act of 1881 Under these
facts, l therefore render Judgment in favor of
the plaintiffs
On information of the decision of the magis-
trate, the counsel for the defendants ordered an
appeal to Baltimore County Court, January

Discovery OF AMERICA BEFORE CHRISTOPHER
CoLUmBUs.-FsIn the session that the Royal So
ciety Of Northern Archaeology of our city, Co
penhagen, held last evening, (the 18th of May,
1S40,) Mr. w idmann, one of its members, read
a letter, written from Rio Janeiro by Doctor
Lund, in which this learned Danish geologist
announces to the Socisty an important discovery
he has just made. In an excavation he caused
to be made in the environs of Bahia, Brazil, he
found the fragment of flat stone, covered with
ruined characters, deeply engraved, but much
damaged Having succeeded after long research
in deciphering some words, which he discovered
to belong to the island language, he caused the
excavation to be extended in all directions; and
soon he discovered the foundations of houses, in
cut stone which the architectural affinity strong
ly resembled the ruins which exist in the North
Of Norway, in the Island, and upon the weste IN
coast Of Greenland. He caused continuation
of the excavation for several successive days,
and finished by finding the statue of the god
Thor, God of Thunder, of the ancient Scandin-
avians,) with all his attributes the hammer, the
gauntlets, and the magic girdle, (aegin gia1'-
der.)
The Society charged the Doctor and Professor
Rafo author of the celebrated work .antiquitates
.fneTicone, and who has first sroved in an au-
thentic manner, that relations have existed be-
tween this Island and the north of America, an
terror to the discovery of that part sf the world
by Christopher Columbus; to report upon the
letter OF Mr.. Lund, and to publish it, in order to
call the attention of the savans upon the inter-
esting discovery of which it gives an account,
and which seems TO reveal that the ancient peo-
pie of the North, had not only pushed their ma
rhine voyages even to the South OF America,
but that they even these laid firm foundations"

The RESUMPTION QUESTION IN GEORGIA.
The subject before the Legislature, we find
which ELECTS the most enquiry, is the resump-
ton bill. We have to inform our readers that
the bill of the House, which compels the re-
sumption on the LIST of February, has not yet
been passed by the Senate. That a resumption
bill will be passed this session, there is no doubt
the only point at all doubtful, is the exact time
when this shall take place. Some 1--WE think
the minority believe that the circumstances of
the country require that the present crop should
be realized, before the resumption, and are in
favor of postponing the day to the LIST of July.
Whether this modification of the bill of the
House will be agreed 10, we cannot say, but be-
lieve it will not be. The great question of re-
sumption we believe to be settled by the people.
They demand it, and that settles the main point,
right or wrong. 1t seems to US that the main
question being thus determined, that the few
months delay will be productive of but little
good, if not of positive mischief. With the fact
before them of speedy resumption, the Banks
generally Chose determined to resume) will not
put their bills into circulation, and we fear the
only effect of the delay will be to allow the
crop to be bought with the bills of more hazard
Gus banks, and which may result in leaving in
the hands of the community at the time of re-
sumption, bank notes OF deprecated value Re-
sumption being determined on, we believe that
the list of February will be safer day for this
measure to take place, both for the banks and for
the people.-.NilledgeCtlIe Recorder.

too--esa leg of muttoA.n faavisa E-3
So several days the leg Of mutton came obe-
