 DEATH OF JUDGE GoLDrHwArE.-We are pained to announce the death of the Hon. Henry GeldtR- waite, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Alabama. He died at his residence in Mobile, on Monday night hast. after short illness, of yellow fever. The Mobile Adrertisu of Wednesday, pays the following tribute to the memory of this distn- guished jarist.
 Judge C. occupied prominent place among the public men of our State, politician and jurist. He was, we believe native of New England but, at an early age, emigrated to Montgomery, in this State, where he commenced the practice of the law and where, by the briiancy of his talents he soon attained the first rank in his profession. He ral times represented Montgomery county in the Legislature of the State, in which body he was dis tinguished as ready and powerful debater. He was subsequently elected Judge of the Circuit Court, and thence transferred to the bench of the highestjudcial tribunal of State, which station he occupied, with slight intermssiOn. till the time of his death. In ls43 he was the Democratic can didate for Congress in this district against Mir Del let, and conducted the canvass with indefatigable zeal and great ability. He was calculated to make an impression the agr in which he lived, but hchas been cat off in the prime of life in the midst of his usefulness and in the full vigor of his intellect with the brightest prospect of higher dis tinction before him-fnrnishng striking illustra- tion of the uncertainty of human life, the empti- of all most cherished hopes, the vanity of all earthly ambtidns
