From the st Louis Republican of Monday.
LATER.

BY the steamer Lancet, from the
Ohio, we have received Louisville
Journal of Wednesday last. from which
we make the following extracts in re-
lation TO the riots and murders in Phil
adelphia. The first reports of This al
fair. it will be seen, were grossly exag-
gera,ed.
We have Philadelphia papers Of
Friday morning, the 10th. We are hap
TO find the rios ceased on Wednesday
night, the 9Th. The inquirer says that
ID persons were killed and 50 wound
ed. The number of buildings burned
and destroyed isl 3S, besides church,
female seminary and market house.
BY law, the county must sustain The
loss.
The u. S. Gazette of Friday morn
ing says:
Our city, yesterday, was full of ru-
mors and reports. At one time, one
church was said to be on fire; a, anolh
er moment, another. 1t was stated
with grea. confidence, once, that the
rioters had taken possession of the u.
States Arsenal, near frankfort, but this
was not true.
AT sun down all was quie, in the city.
A few demonstrations had been made
in front Of one or two churches, but
the positive assurance Of the Military
officers. that they would shoot down
any man who should attempt to renew
the crimes of the evening previous,
served to keep order.
The following extract is from the
Philadelphia Inquirer Of Friday, 10Th
inst:
The citizens Of the various wards OF
the city, held meetings at two O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon, and organized for
the purpose Of preserving the public
peace. The turnout was very general,
and arms and ammunition were provld-
ed in sufficient abundance. 1t will be
seen from this movement, that our COM
muniiy has been fully reused.

SHOCKING DISASTERl SIXTY OR SEVEN H TY LIVES LOST!n NEW ORLEANS, SATURDAY, | 1 o'clock A. M
 We have this moment heard of another an pallng steamboat disaster, the particulars ot which, as nearly as they can be obtained in the confusion of the moment, we hasten to make public O' VI
 The steamer DeSoto, just now arrived. re- ports that while passing down Old River yesterday morning, between half past three and four, she came into collision with the steamer Buckeye, bound up In less than five minutes the Buckeye went down, and 1t is es- tllnated that from between 60 and 75 human beings pershed.
 The laboard bow of the De Soto, Struck the Bnckey's starboard side, just about the forward hatch. The latter sunk to her bur- ricane deck. The night was pleasant and the moon shining brilliant at the time.
 There were on board the Buckeye nearly 25O souls, the major part of whom were say ed It Is thought that of the number lost. not more than ten or fifteen were whites the remainder beng negroes and slaves. It Is impossible however at the present moment to ascertain with accuracy either the names of those who perished or of their number, the register having been lost
 We understand that all the officers of the Buckeye were saved, and nearly all the of cab Ill passengers. How this could have been ac- complished in so short space of time. seems almost miracle The mate of the De eSoto we learn, picked up some thirty or forty by means of the yawl and the remainder strue- gled on board with what clothes they had on, somehow or other.
 great many of the survivors were brought down by the De Soto, and a still greater nuni- Der were landed at different points on the river We found several of the passengers mourning the loss of their children. Major King lost two, Mr. White one, and MT. Hines one. We regret our inability to give the names of the survivors in full, so many hay ing remained on the way.
 young gentleman and his two sisters, had taken passage but few hours before at Whites Landing, and both sisters perished.
 The wife and child of MT. J. Blunt, with seven negroes, was lost.
 A. Mckenzie lost his wife, seven children and four negroes.
 MT. Beand attempted to swim ashore with his nephew on his back. They were both drowned
 From what we can gather at this moment, 1t would appear that no blame whatsoever can be attached to Captain Reed, of the De Soto.

PROCLAMATION.

By ARCHIBALD YELL, Gouernor of .4rhansas "HEREAS, it has been made known to me w that IRA B. WHITMORE, a convict in the Penitentiary of the State of Arkansas did, on the night of the 11th inst, escape therefrom and is running at large:
 Now, therefore, I, ARCHIBALD YELL, Governor of said State, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by law, do hereby offer a reward of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS, to any person who may apprehend the said WhtInore, and deliver him to the keeper of said Penitentiary.

the appeal, decided that the Probate court erred Tn refusing to class the claim of the de- iendant against the plaintiffs in error, and 'hereupon adjudged ''that this cause be, and the same is hereby renanded to the said Pro- bate court, and that said Probate court pro- ceed and class the claim of the said plaintiff against the said defendants, according tolaw., Tor the purpose of reversing this judgment or decision of the circuit court, the admins 'rators of said intestate, have soed ort the present writ oi error, and thereby brough, the proceeding before this court.
 The case III this court proceeded to final hearing and submisi on, without any obiec- tlon to its jurisdiction butw are not there by authorised to adjudicate it, if, from the facts, as shown by the transcript of the re- cord, certified i'll this court upon the return ol the writ of error, no final adiudication, ot the circuit court appears to have been made In the cause; because no writ of error will lie without such adjudication, and until then, this court has no jurisdiction of the case.
 In the present case, 1t seems to us perfect " manifest, from an inspection of the tran- script, certified and sent to this court upon the return of the writ of error that there has been no final adjudication of the circuit court Tn the case, because that court. instead ofad- Judicatlng the matter de nouo, and making such order and decision on the premises as ought to have been made by the Probate court, and causing its judgment and decision to be certified to the Probate Court. as 1t was required by law to do, upon sustaining the exceptions to the opinion of the Probate court, (lf indeed the appeal was well taken, and the case one in which an appeal would lie, question upon which we are not called upon at this time to express any opinion) simply remanded the case to the Probate court, and required that court to proceed to class the claim according to law, which was wholly unauthorized by law, and left the case, without any final judgment or decided pronounced in 1t, remanded to u tribunal which, under the circumstances existing. (ii the appeal was well taken) could take no cognlzance of 1t whatever, to adjudicate or determine it; and which in respect thereto, had no power, except to enter of record the decision, order, or judgment, of the circuit court. Rec. Stat. .Ark., ch. 4, sec. 1S2, 1S3.
 This case appears to be in every essential part, so far as it depends upon the question, we have been considering, similar to that of Reagan, ct al. IS. Mitchell, ct al. deceased, by this court, al the July term, 1842, in which 1t was held, that there was no final judgment or decision of the circuit court.
 We are, therefore, clearly of the opinion that this court has no jurisdiction of the case, and that for this cause, the writ of error there- in sued out, ought to be, and it is hereby dis missed

THOMSON, et at. USE, Sc. rS. SEYMoRE.
 Per SEBASTIAN, J-JAN H. The only question presented by the record is, as to the propriety of the judge who tried the cause having overruled the motion for new trial, made upon the trial below The ground alleged as cause for new trial IS, that the receipt offered in evidence by defendant, was for an amount of money few cents less than the aggregate of the principal and interest due upon the writing obligatory. The receipt was ln full of the writing obligatory sued on by it's terms, and is to be taken as prima facie evi- dence of what 1t imports, and conclusive, unless shown to have been executed by mis- take, procure1 by fraud, or its veracitv or conclusiveness impeached in some other manner. It was evidently regarded by the parties as substantial satisfaction no mistake Is shown, as the sum specified in the writing obligatory and the receipt are the same. The amount due and that received in payment of Ii, were known to both parties, and it was competent for the plaintiff to receive it in dis charge, and so the receipt imports The facts stated mlghtnot amountto technical payment so as to support the defendants plea, yet the verdict attained the substantial juctice of the case, and adjusted the rights of the parties. in accordance with the import of the receipt The consideration that the jury finds yer. dict different from the views of the court, as to the facts will not warrant the latter in set
 ting 1t aside, and the court will, and should respect verdict which does substantial jus
 tice between the parties, although it may no adjust their rights upon strictly legal foot ing. We think, therefore, that the circui
 court did right in overruling the defendant. motion for new trial. Judgment affirmed

 J. E. KNIGHT, Attorney ct Law
 January 8. SHEPPARD & PITTMAN, us. HILLS, .4dm'r.
 Per SEBAsTIAN,J This was an action in assumpsit by defendants against plaintiffs in error, in Washington circuit court, upon promissory note, upon which there was judgment by default The form of legal service was endorsed upon the original writ, but not signed by the Sheriff or by any other person. The signing of the return is neces- sary, and positively required by the statute. Reu. Code, page 622, sec. 20, and the oms sion to do so by the Sheriff or proper officer, constitutes it, in legal contemplation, mere nullity, imposing no obligation upon the per- son named therein, to answer the action. A judgment by default, endorsed in such case, comes within the principles adjudicated in this court in the cases of Gilbrath US. Kuy- kendall, Ark. Rep. 50: Webb us. More house, Ark. Rep. 26l ; Dawsom, ct d. us tue Real Estate Bank, i'd. 505, and conse- quently unauthorized and void. The decis- ion of the question renders it unnecessary to consider the remaining proceedings in the cause.
 The judgment of the circuit court must therefore be reversed, with costs the cause remanded, and proceedings thereon to be had, as though the process had been legally served. CRoss & DILLARD, Admr's., IS. BARNES.
 Per RINGo, c. J.-JAN. 9. The defend- ant in error exhibited to one of the admnis- trators of the estate of Willis billiard, decd, a certain demand against said intestate, proved by the affidavit of himself and others, which was admitted, allowed, and classed by said administrators, as belonging to the fifth class of demands, payable out of said estate. The demand thus proved, admitted, and classed, the defendant caused to be filed in the office of the clerk of the Probate court of Hemp stead county, and thereupon, subsequently, moved said court to class his demand, and cause the clerk to note the same of record, but the court refused to class the said de- mand, and overruled his motion therefor, and heexcepted to the decision ofthe court over ruling said motion, and prayed an appeal therefrom, to the circuit court, which was granted.
