The New York herald., 1845-03-03


aimed the whole ofhi goods, stolen few weeks
inee, by the assistance of the we-resulated
olice in the city proper. IL is surprising to see
with what decorum and system the police is con-
Quoted in this city, headed by first lieutenant James
Young, who, should iddge from his appearance,
would frown down any set OF burglars that might
enter this city.
This city is full OF southern and western mer-
chants t Is pleasing 10 see the effort made by the
Philadelphia merchants, to persuade them 10 pur-
chase here; but they say they must go to New
York, as they says New York is the great centre
OF gravity They all appear 10 be In good spirits,
and tull OF cash, There is no doubt you will
have large spring business In New York.
The late resolution in the Senate has produced
great excitement In relation to Texas property
gentleman, by the name of COwan, OF your city,
made sale OF one-fourth of his cotton lands, on
Trinity river, in Texas, for $4,000 | was told
by the conveyapcer that his whole interest might
have been purchased for a very small sum, some
weeks since. The cars continue TO leave crowd
ed al every trip. There Is an opposition steamboat
line started, to take passengers to Baltimore for
ST so head.
There is an important murder case before the
Court at old Chester shall give you the full par
uculars OF the trial in very few days. II is one
OF the most extraordinary murders that has taken
place Tor many years. George w. Barton, Esq,
late Judge OF one OF the Courts here is engaged tor
The defence. The charter OF the District Court for
the city and county of Philadelphia, has expired
This is one OF the important courts here. This
will make work at Harrisbursh, the seat Of 60
Vernment, IN establishing new court, and ap-
pointing judges IL is not yet rumored who will be
tne judges; II Is probable the same will be appoint
ed, as they are Just and popular men, In my Mon
days correspondence, ! will give you some very
important commercial Information relating to the
spring trade.
The trees are budding, and the grass getting
green IN scots all about this country. The demand
lot the Herald was so great yesterday, that they
sold at very high price. II is amusing to step into
the United States Hotel, and see twenty-five out
OF thrty OF the gentlemen there assembled, reading
the Nep York Herald at once-each with copy.
You may depend upon something very interesting
next week. Yours, DELAWARE.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2, 1S45.
Every thing in this city is quiet and monotonous
at present. Newsis excessively dull active news
makers are out of town burglars have turned
plckpockets pro tenpore, as more lucrative occu-
patton, and pckpockets have posted themselves
along the high roads to Washington andin the ca
pital itself, where the crowds afford them better
opportunities of exercising their trade with profit
and security. Amusements are partially dropped,
and even the hury burly of nativeism, roaring as
1t has done for some time past to drown by noise
and excitement its fears Of overthrow, has been
lost sight of in the more absorbing interests Of the
Inauguration and annexation. This interest has
attracted attention south OF us, and renders the
prosy transactions OF the city dull and unnterest-
ing
Yesterday there was an application before the
Court OF Common Pleas for the appointment of an
examiner to ascertain whether The Southern Insu-
rance Company did not transact banking business
In violation of its charter, but the argument, after
proceeding for short time, was postponed till next
Saturday This corporation is the old Southern
Loan Company 1t was considerably scorched in
1889 by the fraudulent failure OF the Philadel-
phla Loan Company, The loss the former then
sustained was the result of going out of its egiti
mate channel OF business. Its charter was altered
subsequently, by act, OF Assembly-banking or loan
privileges were taken from il, and it seems that
fear OF other misfortunes from causes similar to
those of 1889, has induced this application to the
Court OF Common Pleas. On the other hand it is
ton is indebted to the company upon an old trans
action before its loan privileges were taken from
1t, that he has been sued for the recovery Of the
debt, and that in revenge he takes this method to
embarrass the company and throw obstacles in the
way OF the collection of their claim.
