A DEsPERADo.-Judge Jones, of the Crimi-
nal Court, was assaulted while on his way to
Portersville, a village some fifteen miles from
this city. A desperate, named Copeland, stop
ped his buggy on the road, and with gun TO
hand, ready cooked, swore that he intended to
shoot him. Judge j. inquired the motive, and
was told by Copeland that it was because he
had sentenced his brother to the penitentiary
The reply was that was done according to law
that his brother had been convicted by twelve
lawful men and true--that he was merely the
instrument, &c.
The desperate, his gun resting on the wash
board OF the vehicle, asserted with an oath, ,
that all this plea made no diflerance, he nten-
deJ TO shoot him any how. Finally, the Judge
as usual, got the better of the argument, and
Copeland declared that he would desist from
his purpose, if the Judge would take a drink
with him. This the legal functionary posi-
lively refused 20 do, even under the threats of
the ruflian. The matter however, we are told
was compromised by gentleman who was dri-
wing in the buggy, taking the place of Mr. Jones.
The parties separated after this in very
excellent humor.
We have not learned that any measures have
been taken to arrest Copeland He is said to
be an outlaw Of the most desperate kind
and has committed several brutal outra
ges with impunity Tribune.

cording to the Gazette, after the following man
ner II seems that Mr.. Jenkins purchased an
old bureau of gentleman, and had it duly de-
livered at his store. Soon after it had been
len, and slowed away among other secondhand
furniture, the gentleman came hurrying in, and
asked if they had found his pocke,-book.- -
Finding they had not, he pulled out one Of the
drawers Of the bureau, and out dropped wal
let, containing $1,000 in bills, with notes, &c,
TO the amount Of $4,000. II appears that his
wife had forgotten 10 remove his wallet. Pco.

PACKAGE OF $4,000 LOST The Presi-
dent of the Newark Bank and Insurance Com
pany, while crossing the river in Jersey City
ferry boat, this morning, for the l2 clock cars
to this city, left bank package of money and
papers, with the usual wrapper sealed, and
wrapped in silk pocket handkerchief, laying
on the seat in the ladies cabin-and being en-
gagged in conversation did not miss it until he
had nearly reached the cars. On returning TO
the boat the package was missing.
The package contained bills of the Newark
Banking and Insurance Company, of various
denominations, from $500 downio S. amount
ing to from $50 900 to $25 900. Also, vari,
Gus checks and other securities, the payment OF
which has been stopped. We are authorised,
by the President, to offer reward Of $500 for
its restoration.
p. s. A lady and gentleman, on their way
to Newark, saw a package on the seat where i,
was left, one other person being then in the ca
bin. An interview with that gentleman here,
or in New York, might lead to the recovery OF
the package. 1t is respectfully solicited.

DEATH OF A CHIEF.-The Usage Chief Black
Dog, is dead. He died, says the Cherokee
Advocate, about the cath. ult., at his village
He had been lingering for two or three years
under tormenting disease. During his sick
ness he made two trips upon the prairies by the
assistance of his band. He was literally self
made hero. AS warrior he had no equal a.

LATER FROM MExIco.-Two steamers ar
rived at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, on the
29th ult.
Vera Cruz papers received are to the 22d
and from the city of Mexico TO the 18th. Tn,
impression was that the Court of Inquiry would
not adjourn for three weeks, and that Genera
Scott would await its adjournment. He is il
fine health
The burden of the editorial articles in tn,
Star is that there is yet no quorum of Congress
at Queretaro. 1t is obvious from the Stars
reiterated complaints that there is great feal
less no quorum should meet at all.
Parades, as late as the lth inst, had not
been arrested by the Mexican Government
lie was still at San Luis. We hear nothing
more of his designs.
A grand banquet was given in Vera Cruz
the evening of the 10th inst, by the French
residents and others, in honor of the revolution
in France.
The Free American remains of opinion that
Hcio 10 ht1o PiooPeSt vi Pea'c' oh tiie iou
its language is;
We announced few days ago that we had
conversation with gentleman from Mexico
who was Of opinion that the members of Con-
gress would not vote for the treaty as ratified
at Washington.
We have since seen two letters from infu-
entail men, one at Queretaro and the other a,
Mexico, who coincide with the opinion of tn,
gentleman in question. Another letter SAYS
that should the members Of Congress violate
the constitution ofMexco, by cedng any part
Of the territory, the same members will have
TO ask the United States to leave force Of
several thousand men to keep order in the Re
public. The writer is of opinion that so soon
as the American troops embark for the United
States, the Government will be overthrown
and that new cause for war will be given to the
United States by the turbulent people of this
country.
