 Spring Hill Is of the most healthy settlements in ibe south or South-west-within about i4O miles of Little Rock from which it is reached by trl- weekly line ofstages. It is nine miles from Fulton, o7 the Red River to which place there is a regular steamboat navigation, through the fail, winter and barinninr of summer, from New Orleans, Natchez, S.c I'D the Red River. The springs are abundant, and the water of the most excellent Guallty. The socletV is good and in morality and the proper tone of public sentiment the district will compare with any section of country in the United States. There is also female school, under the supenntendance oi Mas BANKS, in full operation, which ranks among the highest in the State. There IS large brick Academy for the Male School, but yet suitable buildings have not been erected for the accomnoda tion of the principal and the boarders who may be sent to the Institution. Several gentlemen, hoWeY- er have consented to take boarders, on very mode rate terms, say rom 10 l0 dollars per thoiltIl'

 The terms of tuition have been fixed, for the seye ral departments of English, .f520-aad for classics and mathematics or either of them, $25 for the ses sion of five months. Students can enter at any time and will only be charged from the time of entrance, and during their continuance at the school.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, FEB
 RTfARV

RttARY Il.
 Samuel Thurlow, plaintiff in error, rs. the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
 This case, brought by writ of error from the supreme court of Massachusetts, involves the question of the constitutionality of the license laws of that State. The plaintiff ln error was convicted of selling imported spr- its without license, and sentenced to pay fines amounting to Sl60 By the law of Massa- chusetts, penalty of S100 Is imposed up on the sale of all wines and spirits in less quantities than twenty-eight gallons, unless the seller is licensed, and the county com- missioners chosen in each county can alone grant license; and are empowered by law not to grant any. In most oi the counties no licenses are given, and no purchase for any purpose is lawful under twenty-eIght gal Ions. The plaintiff in error denies the con- stitutionaity of this law, which has been all frmed by the supreme court ot Massachu- sets. The case has been argued before the court here, Messrs. Webster, Choate, and IIallett, counsel for Thurlow; and Hunting ton for the State. The court have had 1t un- deradyisement several days, and on the Huh the Chief Justice directed il to be continued dilu to DG IS-dISu SuIu pCiOlC tliC hiio4S Se"i' l There are at present but seven judges on the i bench, being two vacancies; and 1t IS under stood that, in question affecting the valIdl- ty of State law, the court will not set It aside unless a majority of the whole court that is, five judges-concur. The order for reargument is equivalent to a division in the court upon the question. It was contended for the plaintiff, by his counsel, that the laws of Massachusetts which authorized the with holding of licenses, was prohibitory, and therefore, as to foreign wines and spirits, re- pugnant to the power of Congress to regu- late foreign commerce; to collect revenue on imports into the several States; to the uniform apportonment of taxas and duties Ill all the States; and to the fulflment of recip- rocal treaties. The question is one of great importance, affecting the powers of Congress in these departments, and has been strongly presented to the court.-Glo5e.
