Y Ailea KirJy.-Thisz Individual. who
was convicted at the last term ofstlie
Court, as one Of The murderers Of Capt.
Vance, but appealed from the verdictof
the jury, has had his motion fora new
trial heard in the appeal courr, aud having
| failed in The motion, has been sentenced to
be executed by The Sheriff Of this district,
as we are informed, Oh The 9th day 10
August uexl.-Heratd.
New York Eleclion.-The result Of the
Judicial election in the city of New York,
is the success of all the Democratic can
didales.
The Price Of Bread.-ifter all the
famine in London, aud the frlshful price
of Flour, bread is as cheap there as here.
The last dates say that the 4 Id. lDaf was
sold there one shilling sterling, On
wbeighing shilling loaf from one OF our
most respectable bakers, it fell little
short of 2 lbs. showing that the same
money procures quite as much bread in
London as in New York.-JournaL Of
Commerce. tz
Judge Parsons Of Peuusy syvauia, has
decided thac by an Act of Assembly of
that Stale, man Of Competent income is
bound to support his sons children where
the father has deserted them, leaving Them

The Mobile Register Of The 5lh inst.
speaking oflhe cotton crop in that State,
says-"The uufavorable weather referred
to in our review of the 22d ult. as affect
ing injuriously the growing cotton plant,
has finally given place TO a hot sun, which
has arrested the destructive action of the
worms and other insects. The injury done
has been considerable, and cannot be re-
covered, but with favorable weather and
freedom from the ravages OF the worms,
perhaps fair average crop may by ex-
pected. The plant. however, is liable to
so many accidents, and exposed to so
many contingencies, that it is impossible
at this early period to form any satisfaclo-
ry opinion as 10 what it promises.
Newspaper Postags.-Much difference
of opinion has arisen on The construction
of the new Postage Law in relation TO
newspapers. The New York Sun con-
tends that by its exact language and pune
tuation, transient papers are entitled 10 go
free IN the mail, The exceptions being those
sent by the way of exchange between the
publishers Of newspapers, those ranked by
persons enjoying the franklng privilege.
aud those who sent from the Office Of
publication. The Sun contends, from the
wording of the act, that all newspapers
not sent from the office Of publication are
TO be forwarded free Of postage. the same
as those sent by the way Of exchange
between the publishers. By the Slh clause
of the Circular issued in March last to
Deputy Post Masters, it is direcled that
transient newspapers are those no, sent
from the office q! publication to subscribers,
are 10 be charged cents upon,delivery.at
the office, and as such will be charged as
pre-. paid mailer in the way bills; aud byia
subsequent construction of the laW;sttie:
i;Depurtme thas declared hal to be- q.
subscriber to a paper person musl- be
such lor, three months. The, Sun thinks,
as we do, that there is discrepancy be.
tween the Act and the CircuIar.-"The
latter speaks OF subscribers aud Transient
newspapers, about which the former is en-.

A Wealthy Foreigaer.-The New.York
Express states that the death Of the Mar
quis of Daigre, in Paris, at the age Of
eighty three, has caused quite stir in
Wal.street. Some eight Or ten years
ago be had invested in the New York Life
Insurance. the Farmers Trust, and Ohio
Trust,nearly one hundred lhousard dollars
each, the interest on which, amounting to
nearly $50, 1000 per anuunl, he has received
mi-annually, and the conditions were,
that a, his decease the whole sum orginal-
ly paid should revert To the companies.
1.-The Farmers Trust have. afer caIculat-
Ing interest, received twenty-five thousand
dollars the New. York Life and, Trust
for,y-six thousand dollars, and other com.
panies in proportion. The Marquis was a
man Of immense wealth. His income was
over a million Of francs anuaIIy.-He
leaves over sixty milious Of francs in real
estate ard the bulk Of his fortune to a
grandchild ONLY nineteen months old. He
lived by rule, eat and drank by weight
and measure, anil regulated all his conduct
by The incest exactness. He calculated 10
live ,iIl he was hundred and fifty; aud if
he had, he would probably have broken
the companies that had granted the aunui-
lies"
Get Married.-Mr. de Volaire has
observed that the more married men
community contains, The fewer crimes
there will be. 1t is said that this assertion
is corroberated by our criminal caIenders,
from which il appears that an hundred
youths are capilally punished, to Que fa-
,her Of a family. This may be true, II
so. the factis an important one, and The
government, we think, ought 10 adopt
efficient means for procuring partners"
