judgment. lie consented condition that the judg
men should be the first lien the property to which
they agreed The mortgage was accordingly cancelled
but before the Doctors judgment perfected, Reed
Percy confessed another judgment to some of their
creditors, which took precedence Of the Doctors and
the latter comes in to set it aside the ground Of
fraud and misrepresentation.
The application opposed the part Of the crcd

given by the Doctor for the mortgage was both fraudu
lent and usurious.
The case is still under adyisement

THE DEFENCE OF GEN. GAINEs.-ln accordance
with our usual plan of giving early and exclusive
information to the public, we despatched one of
our corps OF reporters to Norfolk, to attend the
examination of the veteran Gaines. The reading
public of our city has thus been able, through eur
means alone, TO have an accurate and graphic ac-
count Of all the evidence in the case for no other
paper out of Norfolk has had a reporter present,
and the Norfolk papers themselves fall far short OF
us in giving the details connected with the case.
The closing defence of the gallant old soldier
will be found in our columns to-day, and for
various reasons, it is interesting and impor-
tant document
With one exception Gen. Gaines is the oldest
officer in years and rank in the military service of
the United States, and has in no way deviated
from his proper line of duty by mixing hmselfup
with political intrigues. More experienced in the
habits and duties of military practice than any
other member of the army, the opinions express
ed in his speech worthy perusal and study by
every man whose heart beats with the natural
impulses of amor patrie. He expresses himself
frankly, fearessly and independently, as the hero
of many battles should do-not defending him.
self, but his principles and the rights of his sta
ton. Those who heard him think that his defence
was most able.
We feel that the decision Of the Court
of Inquiry will be in accordance with justice. It
is supposed that it will be complete approval Of
the necessity Of his acts and the purity of his in
tentions, acqutting him of all the charges pre-
ferred against him.

Acrs OF CoNGREss.-We give, on the outside of
this days paper, the titles of the different acts and
bills passed by the late (thank heaven, not pres
enD Congress, during their session of over eight
months. 1t is interesting not ony for the informa-
ton conveyed, but as being filed with some Gu
rious contrasts strikingly democratic.
Side by side with war or tariff bill, interest
ing millions of human beings, we see an act for
the relief John Smith, or other solitary per-
son, unknown to fame or the public and the va
rous gradaens of interest run up from the affairs
of an individual to the commissions OF nations -
During the time that Congress has been in session
we have daily averaged five columns of matter
from Washington, amounting in all to over twelve
hundred columns Of our paper; and now having
passed the whole through the SIEVE of discretion,
and subjected the balance to tn pressure of fact,
all that remains two or three columns of ster-
ling fact and importance.
The dongs of Congress never give more than a
grain of gold to mountain of sand. The nation,
however, is thankful for small favors.

MEMBERS OF CoNGRRss-DIsrINe UIsHED ARR
vALs.-The closing of Congress has caused the
tide of arrivals to set in rapidly towards city,
of those whom the nation delight to honor"
The Hon. Mr.. Dickinson was in town yester-
day; and among others, Gen. Cass is expected to
arrive at Towards famous Hotel to-day or to-
morrow, and of course will be waited upon by
numbers Of our citizens, not only by those who
honestly desire to pay their respects to a dstin-
guished man, but by others, who from curiosity,
wish to see one who so narrowly escaped the Pre-
sidentiai chair at the late Baltimore Convention.
We hope that the General will meet with an hospi-
tally from the New York people honorable to
him and to themselves.
The Hon. Daniel Webster will also soon be
amongst us.
Our city, for few days, will be well sprinkled
with the representative talent of the nation, by
the return of its possessors to their homes, or to
the joys of Saratoga and Niagara. Eight months
work and eight months pay will render many Of
them eager and able to rest awhile.
They are to meet again in December.
