WAsHIEGTON, April 80, lSi5.
The interesting cause of DiusnIan and 9TH
ers vs. Wilkes, has been continued to-day, and
is yet undecided. The evidence Oh both sides
was concluded yesterday. To-day the leaned
counsel have been engaged in argument upon
instructions, prayer TO the Court, in taking eX-
Ceptions, Sc At half past o'clock Mr.. May,
as counsel for the plaintiffs, remarked, that al
though he was very much indIsposed, he was
most anxious that the Jury should take the case
this morning, and proposed to Mr.. bradley,
counsel for the defendant that lie (Mr. May
would not occupy more than one hour III ad-
dressing the jury, and that Mr.. Bradley might
have two hours for the same purpose; but this
proposition was not accepted, and the Court
was adjourned at O'clock. 1t is expected that
the cause will be determined tomorrow, and
that the legal gentlemen will make powerful
addresses to the jury. Mr.. Bradley is an able
and experienced advocate. Mr.. May is ju-
nior member of the bar; but i'll the manage
mcnt of his cause, so far, has greatly distin-
gnlshed himself, by his talent, legal knowledge,
Judgment and selt-possession. Such is the ge-
neral opinion; and have no doubt that MIR.
May will tomorrow so acquit himself, as in no
wise to impair the favorable impression which
he has made in the well-flled Court room.
lwrote you about ten days ago that free
negro, named Samuel Sunby, had been COM
mitted to our county Jail, by Justice Williams,
charged with the heinous offence Of attempting
to murder his wife, who was living as a servant
at Mrs. Linderberger's boarding house, IN the
first ward of this dty. Yesterday evening Sun
by was brought before Justices Williams and
Thompson in the guard room ofthc Jail for final
examination. 1t was proved before the justices
that Sunby had stabbed his wife, Henrietta
Sunby, in seven places with Spanish knife
and that two of the sabs had penetrated hel
lungs. DIR. Van Buren, however, considered
the woman out of danger. 1t appears, by the
testimony Of three witnesses, that Sunby hac
admitted to them, when questioned as to the
cause of the rash and bloody decd, that it wa:
his intention TO kill his wife, being instigated tc
the act by Jealousy, The prisoner made no de-
fence or statement when on his final cxamina.
ton, and being unable to find the required Sc
curty for his appearance at the next Criminal
Court.
learn that Mr.. James ]. Randol PHI, a clerk
in the Land Office, was yesterday removed
from oflice-on what grounds am unable to
learn, MIR. Randolph has family of eight
children, and this removal will fall heavily on
them, as am led to believe.
The new Commissioner of Patents, Mr.
Burke, will enter upon the duties of his Office
in few days.
Tomorrow being May Day, will be cele
brated here by a military parade, ball at Ca
rusi's Saloon, and many other school and pri
vate parties. METROPOLIS.

The CASE OF CHARLES VAIL THE SUPPOSED
PIRATE. Mr. Vicaria, the shipping Master at
Alexandria, who shipped the crew Of the Sarah
Lavina, arrived in New York on Monday, and
Vail was confronted with him. Mr.. Vicaria
positively asserted that he was not Webster,
nor did he at all resemble him. Vail seems
perfectly at his ease, and asserts he will be able
to satisfy the Court that he is not the person
sought for. He is still detained, but it is sup
posed that the next examination will result in
his discharge.

NNJISThR's BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.
Wv 'Ihere is no such thing as fell" in the history
Of this wonderful BALSAM. Evidence the most con
vincng evidence that doubt-fuy estab-
fishes this fact For the sake of brcvty we select the

Isaac Plat, Esq, Editor of the Po'keepsie Eagle.
one Of the most influential papers in the state of New
YORK, states under THE authority OF his name that
young lady, relative of his, of very delicate cons-
tuition, was attacked in February, l642, with severe
cOId which Immediately produced splitting of blood,
cough, fever and other dangerous and alarming symp-
toms Through medical treatment and care she par
tally recovered during summer But the return Of
winter she attacked more violently than at first;
she became scarcely able to walk, and was troubled
with cough, cls and fever every day, and appeared
to be going rapidy with consumption; at this time,
when there sign of improvement, Mr. Platt
procured bottle Of WlSTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY, which she took, aud it seemingly restored
her Sheg got second and before it was half taken
,lc restored to perfect healh which she has en-
oyed TO the present time, without the slightest symp-
toms of her former disease.
Mr.. Plat says 'the cure came under my own Obser-
vaiion, aud cannot be mistaken TO the facts 4"
