of Washington and vicinity that he has taken the

avenue, south side, formerly occupied by J. Berk-
ley, where he invites his old customers, and as
many new ones may be pleased to try his skill in
the art of dying silk woollen, and cotton goods, and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by large portion of the citizens Of
Washington, in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him. for the convenience ofthe public and

bton Of superior work to extend his reputation, To

country, He has lntely built and fitted up an extern
siye and complete dye-house and is prepared to do
all kinds of work with despatch, and in a style not
to be surpassed in this country He especially calls
the attention Of gentlemen to the superior manner in
which coats and pants, and genllemen's apparel
generally, are done. The shape and set Of the coat
are not in the slightest degree injured; and the color
Is warranted TO stand, and not In the least TO rub
All kinds of work will be thankfully received, and
done moderate terms

RuMoRED RESIGNATION OF JuDcE SroRY.--The
Boston Post saysthe has obtained some credit
in that vicinity, that "Mr. Story, who has filed up
wards Of thirty years, with no uncomfortable abil-
iy, the highly honorable position of Judge Of the
Supreme Court of the United States intends, for
reasons best known to himself, to resign, and re-
tire to the dignied ease, the claims to which lie has
earned by long and laborous devotion to the pub
lie welfare n
The Post dominates the Hon. Levi Woodbury.
as the successor Of Judge Story should the latter
resign; and prefaces the nomination with the follow
ing, among other remarks;
If there be any variety of opinion as to the man
ner or talent with which Judge Story has discharged
the arduous duties of one Of tho most elevated sta
tons citizen can reach, (and we believe no one
denies him the praise due to profound learning and
diligent study the universal sentiment of our coun-
try demands that his successor should possess not
only the legal requirements, the various erudition,
and the eminent talent SO necessary to such 8 sta
ton, but the moral character the stainless reputa-
ton, and, above all, that popular confidence, with
out which even judicial learning the most profound
talents Of the highest order, and extensive informa.
tion are vanity, and, though in elevated position,
incapable Of fortunate results The gladiatorial dis
play Of intellectual ability may astonish the mind,
but, to insure conviction and obtain acquiescence,
il must be associated with moral worth"

THE GREAT RACE. /.

At one o'clock, tomorrow, will come off the fifth
great sectional match between the North and the
South over tine Union course, and do not exagge-
rate in remarking that of them excited higher
degree ofinterestt the the tapis These
great matches, commencing with that Of Eclipse and
Flirtlla and Ariel, Bascombe and Post Boy, Fashion
and Boston, have, each in their turn attracted hous
ands upon thousands to this city. Both horses are
in superb 0rder--indeed, in condition to run for
mans life! Both are in the hands of the most skill

These facts we learn from the Spirit of the Times

FROM JAMAICA.

Dates from Kingston, Jamaica, TO the 25th ult
have been received at Charleston, South Carolins,
a few days later than have heretofore reached US.
The Jamaica Timesl Of the Gath contains the fol.
lowing paragraph concerning the death Of President
Guerrier, of which intelligence had been received by
way of Boston
"President Guerrier is said to have died under sin
gular circumstances, which do great credit 70 his
humanity. The ten persons lately reported by 9
contemporary to have been shot, were not executed
but the order for death laid before him for hii
signature. This, however, he refused to afix 70 Il
a. he did not consider that they deserved death and
he is reported to have said, Il am an old man, my.
self, and have but few short days to livej why
therefore, should deprive my fellow-creatures o.
lifep Having said this, he fell back and expired
We do not vouch for the correctness OF this report
although have no reason to doubt its authentici
ty."
II is stated as probable that Acaau---who, on the
accession of Guerrer, imprisoned and first SEN
fenced to five years. Punishment, then had that SEN
tence commuted to three years, and finally was al
together pardoned, and at present commandment Of q
small town the Spanish frontier, to which post he
was appointed by President Guerrier after he was
pardoned-will now aim at the presidency.
Everything was reported to be quiet at the iates
dates; but il is supposed that this state of things vii
not long continue. The schooner Dove, from Aux
Cages, reports that all quiet at that place; two
French vessels Of war lying there $40 900 had beer
offered for the head Of Herrara, and three vessels
sent out in search Of him, but returned unsuccessful
A court-martal was held on board III. M. shiE
lnconstant, at Bermuda, on the 9th Of March, by
which the assistant surgeon and masters assistant
HI. nj. brig Persian were found guilty of charges o.
drunkenness and other misconduct, and sentenced
the former be dismissed the ship and lose all hil
former service, and the latter to be dismissed hel
Majesty's service.
The Despatch of the 9th ut states, that the COTE,
crop throughout the parish Of St. George, will b
lamentably deficient this year. The Charleston
Courier adds, on the authority Of gentleman from
the mountain district of that parish, that hun
dred tierces will be the aggregate of the entire crop.

VrRGINIA UNUERsIrY.--Th duties Of this nsti-
tuition have been resumed, and under much more ia.
vorabe auspices than its friends anticipated after
the late rebellion; which, we learn, was much exag-
whom the Faculty would consent to receive have re-
turned, and the best feeling prevailed among all con-
nected with the institution II is gratifying to know
that the prospects Of this venerable institution have
not been impaired by the late proceedings and it in
equally gratifying to know that the firm and digni-
fed stand taken by the Faculty, and supported by
the vsiters has not only freed the institution from
the turbulent spirits who disturbed its quiet, but has
left moral effect which will be most sautary in its
inhuence.--BaL. Sun.

DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT OF HAYTL--Within
twenty-four hours after announcing second inva-
sion Of Hayti bya black army from British ISL
ana we received news OF the death OF the President
gence comes TO US in the Boston Traveller, OF
Thursday, having been communicated to our CO.
temporary by the captain Of a vessel which sailed
from Gonaiyes on the Goth ulimo. The Presiden,
died at ST. Marks on the 18th ult., and was buried
on the 18th with military honors. He was an old
man, and, although somewhat incorporate, good
magistrate. He was pure African. The cause Of
his death Is not given. Gen. Louis Pierrat, man
seventy years Of age, and much respected by the
blacks, was proclaimed President 18th ult, by the
northern section Of the republic but il is doubtful
whether the South will support him. The death
Of Guerrier occurred a few days altar ex-Presdent
Herard sailed from Jamaica on the second invasion.

IMPORTANT FROM New Brunswick. read
have been advised Of the political troubles in this
colony, occasioned by the appointment Of the gov
ernor's son-in.law or nephew to the Office of pro-
vincial secretary. In consequences of this some Of
the executive councillors resigned, after vainy pro-
testing against the appointment. The Boston Daily
Advertiser has received from New Brunswick pa
pers of the 9th, which assert that the appointment
has been disapproved by the home government, and
that the government has also refused to accept the
resignation of the executive councillors. The gov
ernor (Sr John Colebrooke) had summoned the
council to meet at Fredericton the 9th, and the
resigned members were notified to attend with the
others.
