Mr. EDITOR -
The news of the arrival Of the Acadia and the
safety of the Caledonia arrived in this city yester
day afternoon, and quickly distributed through
out the city. Itgave great joy to the hearts Of ali
those who felt interested in the fate Of the stsan
or supposed to have been lost. What effect it will
have upon Uur markets cannot say, a. We have
not had time to Judge Of its influence.
Since nay last letter cur city has been quiet and
without much newsIof interest The tax bin is pend
ing before the Councils, the result Of which is
looked to with great anxiety. If il pass we shalR
be rid Of debt il a short season. Railroad orders
are now 45 and 50 per cent discount. At this rate
there can be NO better investment as they can be-
turned into city stock At par and draw interest
of six per cent. Tho weather this morning issn.

United states District Court.
Before Judge Belts.

MARCH 4.-Relative to the objections in the
case Of Lew Dodge, the Court observed that the
principal one was account Of his not having sta
ted whether or not the firms with which he had
been connected, were solvent or otherwise. This
is no bar to decree. 1t is sufficient that the party
speaks to his own situation, without aludiug to
that Of others.
Otis P. Jewett has been opposed on the ground,
chiefly that he had not made perfect statement of
his aairs In answer this, it had been contended
that he did to the best Of his ability. This the
Court held to be sufficient to satisfy the law in
granting the frat decree, decree Of bankruptcy.
II any thing wrong 10 discovered, will operate to
his prejudice Afterwards.
The Court was not yet ready to give lite views
citing jewellery belonging to wife, or mans
watch and chain, claimed portion Of his wear
ing apparel, urged in the case of Kasson. deci-
sion will be given this forenoon.
It has been decided that the long. or seventy day
notices must be published in this city daily instead
Of once or twice week, as had been suggested by
counsel.
Nineteen petitions passed to the usual decree.
Those Of John Newmrn, James Bradley, and SEN
ter M. Giddings, were objected to. No one ap,.

Final Deposition Of the Bill to Resume Specie Pay
nnents-IKe Johnson Movement, &c.
Mn. BENNErT,-
The die il now cast The Governor to-day re-
turned to the Hsuse, with his approval, ofthe bill
providing for resumption Of specie payments.
II 10 now the law Of the lar d, and by it we, well
as the banks, must abide. II is spoken Of by some
as Unconstitutional, because it triAngly conflicts
with former laws, which were evidently more un-
constitutional than this. What its effects upon the
community will be, remains to be seen. The bill is
regarded by majority panaeea for all oar ills
the summum bonurn of our wishes. 1t is made up
of some good provisions, some Indifferent, or, in
other words, a. the poet has it.
"some good some bad, neither one nor t'other"
understand it is the desire OF the Executive and
his friends now to induce the accepting banks
of last year to come forward and take the amount
still remaining unsubscribed, under that act Out
of the loan of So Co., 900 authorized by that Act,
but about 81, 700 900 have been subscribed, and it
is proposed, should the remainder be subscribed
by the nom or the other banks, TO expend
Il in the payment Of the domestic creditors. It
has been eontradicted BY the Keystone" that ever
lures had been made to the Erie Bank for her to
make an additional issue; but notwithstanding the
contradiction, il strictly true, to the very letter.
The recent Johnson movement in this place, Is
beginning to be regarded as 'spon grand MtmbooS.

INVALID MAkRiAaEs.-A recent decision in the
Irish Queens Bench has spread the utmost conster
nation throughout the north of Ireland In the case
o. man who had been convicted of bigamy, his
counsel raised the point that the first marriage was
invalid, as having been performed by Presbyterian
clergyman between an Eoiscopalian and Presbyte-
ran. Eight ofthe ten judges decided in favor Of The
prisoner, and he was discharged accordingly. As
the operation Of this decision is Retrospective well
perspective, the sensation it has created may be
readily imagined to be extraordinary. The Presby-
terrain populationof Ireland is upwards Of COZ. 900,
and such marriages were Of frequent occurrence,
especially amoncst the hipher classes.
