Quo WarrantO.

The trial Of the Writ Of quo wavrOnto
against the COmmerciaI Bank Of Manches.
ter, was tried at the present session Of the
Circuit Court Of this county, and, noiwiih-
standing the great ability Of the assistant
counsel on the pant Of the prosecution, and
the activity Of interested parties, the trial
resulted in complete acquittal Of the Bank.
This is the third trial the Bank has stood
in this case, and at each trial, the integrity
and fidelity with which the Bank has been
managed, has become moro and more ap.
parent. The State, through tie District
Attorney, took but little interest in the pros.
ocuiion; il was conducted chiefly BY the
Attorneys for debtors 10 the Bank!-Il is to
be hoped that the efforts Of these persons,
TO destroy tho Bank and thereby avoid the
payment Of their debts to it, will now cease.
S. S. Prenliss, ESQ, was employed for the
defence, and made one Uf his most powerful
and effective arguments on the occasion.

Obeying Orders.-A good story is
told Of an American General in The last
war, who was more ready in the use OF
his sword than he was of his pen, and
who still lives the pride Of the army and
country. While stationed on the lake
frontier, two of his soldiers, brothers. of
the name Of Kennedy, had deserted. He
issued an order to subalern TO detail a
file ofHen, and with them proceed to a
place named on the line, and take the two
'Canadas.' The order was peremp,ory,
and not to be trined with. The officer
said he would try, and set about execut-
