A FAMILY OF CouNTERFETERs.-
Mary Sheppard who has been found
guilty Of counterfeiling in the Court
Of Sessions, at a late hour on Mon
day night, was this afternoon sentenc-
I'd TO the State prison for 7 years and
une month. The prisoner. is about
60 years old. and the mother Of nu-

whom, and also both their parents
are now in different State prisons, or
sentenced 10 be sent there.
About one hour before the mother
was sentenced in the Court Of Ses-
sions, her son James Sheppard was,
for a similar offence, sentenced by the
U. s. Court 10 be Imprisoned in the
State prison for Ave years. Her
daughter WINS sentenced 10 the State
prison by the Court Of Sessions about
u week back. Her husband is in the
State prison Of Ohio. one Of her sons
in the State prison Of New Jersey,
another in the Stale prison at Sing
Sing. and a third will leave this city
fol the same place. accompanied by
his mother 10 aday or two. All those
have been convicted Of similar often

The Mississippi is now free from ice
and boats are again upon the tide. We
learn that some three or four steamers
landed at Louisiana on Wednesday last,
well ~freighted for that place and the up
river towns. W. may safely calculate
that business of all kinds will now re-
vive. All energy and activity seems to
have been totally CONCEALED, during our
long winter, in consequence of the shut
ting up of our great channel of commu
nication, the Mississippi.

It is put forth. now. that, soon after
MI. Webster retires from the State
Department, which will be in three
or four weeks. il is said he is to be
brought out into the field as a candi-
date for Presii lent, and in,rigues for
that purpose are already on foot. 1t
is thought, Sc we see is stated, that a
movement to the effect will be made
in Pennsylvania. But it is thought
that such a step will iniure Mr.. Clay.

The st. Louis Gazette says: "Affer
one Of the longest, coolest and dnllest
winters that the trade of St. Louis has
ever known, there are now some symp-
toms of reviving business. The heavy
rains of the last two days,@the arrival
and departure Of steamboats-the loading
and discharging Of cargoes, and the arri-
val of some few country merchants, look
a little more ike old times. The Boreas
has left to-day for the upper Mississippi,
the John Aull leaves tomorrow for the
Missouri-and the Illinois is also open,-
and the prospect on this, the last day Of
March, is really favorable for a resump-
tion Of business. Some of our dealers
encourage themselves in the belief that
the spring business of the city will
prove much heavier than has been anti
cipated."

CoaMaNDER MAcKENzK.-Opinion
Of Chancellor keni.-ln consequence
of the attempts making in N. York
to bring the case Of Commander
Mackenzie before the civil tribunals,
the opinion Of the venerable Ex.Chan-
cellor Kent has been solicited in re-
ference TO the jurisdiction of U. S.
Courts. He has complied with the
request, and the following is his o.
pinion:
/. The crimes and offences COM
mitted on the high seas by a person
in the actual service Of the United
States. on board one of their vessels
of war. and duly commissioned, and
claiming TO act under that authority.
are rot cocnizatle under the iurisdic-
lion oftne courts Of the United States.
The fitting and peculiar cognizance
OF such crimes and offences is in the
Naval Court Martial, instituted I'M
der the act of Congress, of April Esd,
1900, which created a Naval Code Of
Martial law, for trial and punishment
of crimes and offences commirreu iu
the Naval service Of the U. States.
9. But if the federal civil courts
be admitted TO have concurrent juris-
diction in the case of such officers;
vet they lose their jurisdiction, if IA
Naval court martial had previously
taken c~osnizance Of the charge. In
the case of concurrent jurisdiction
under The same Government, jurls-
diction attaches exclusively 10 the
one that first assumes coJnizance Of
the case-for no man ear be tried at
the same time in two jurisdictions
1t would be equally unjust and ab-
surd. Ii he be acquitted by a
Court Martial, that acquittal would
be a good Ear 10 an indictment and
trial for the same %offence; for no per-
son (says that the constitution of the
United Staies,) shall be "subject ior
the same offence, 70 be twice put in
jeopardy OF life or Ilimb." II he be
on trial before a Naval court martial,
that fact would CONSTITUTE a good
plea in abatement Of any criminal
prosecution Instituted in a National
Civil Court Of criminal jurisdiction
for the same Offence.

PARODY.

Liquid spark of hellish flame,
Enter quick this thirsty frame;
Swear ng. fighting, staggering. belching,
Oh, the pious fun Of drinking.
Haste, sweet whiskey down my throat,
Nor let me languish for a bloat.
Hank! they whisper-tiplers say
Whiskey spirits, come this way.
What is this upsets me quito
Makes me silly-fed like fight;
browns my reason, gives me spunk-
Tell me, my bowl-san I be drunk?
The room turns roand-each thing APP

Wrong end up-and my ears
Queer sounds-sataiic-catch [,
Haste quick, with htlp-I reel, l die:

Oh! Grog, where il thy match.

We received some time since a com.
munication purporting to be an outline,
of the Ashley debate, upon the temper
ance question, but we thought it inexpe--
dent 10 lay it before our readers, as we
had some assurance that the parties
themselves would furnish a more copi-
Gus abstract Of their arguments. In this
however our expectations, as yet have
been but partially realized. Aware Of
the deep interest which is felt in relation
to this subject, we feel confident that a
large portion Of our readers would be
highly gfatiied with an opportunity of
examining the arguments that were adj
duced, on that occasion, for and against
the Washingtonian cause. And we still
indulge a hope that both of the disputants
viii furnish US with a synopsis of the
same. But a small portion of the
community was able to listen to the de-
bite. If that portion were instructed
or edited, this instruction and edifca-
ton, could be greatly extended through

that the Emperor is aware as he. the
