Fourth DISTRICT CoURr-Mugan w. Brown W
DR.. John s. Crockett and others.-The commitment
of DR.. Crockett to Jail for ten days. for the con-
tempt complained of by the Court, was mentioned
in our Yesterdays paper We now record the last
proceeding in this very interesting controversy.
Yesterday, the Doctors counsel presented an elo-
auent petition the Court setting forth the causes
for his action in the matter; that he felt himself
guilty in point of strict law but affirming that no
disrespeet was intended to the honorable Court or
wanton disregard for the laws Of his country; that
he had acted only in strict obedience to those nat
nral feelings and impulses which it is more honora-
BILE to obey, even at the hazard of slightly violating
q statute, than to set them coldly aside. The pc
tition showed that, the Doctor had at once sur
rendered himself to the law, the ends of JUSTICE in
fact, had been answered, and that any farther i'm
prisonment would afford no ampler show of justice
than he had already experienced. Wherefore, he
prayed to have the remainder of his sentence re-
mtted The prayer was granted by the Court
While in prison, the Doctors frends-and they
are many-visited him, bringing the most honest
assurances of their good opinion of his efforts to do
right. Ladies and gentlemen were his guests and
but for this timely deiverance from his entirely ne"
quarters, by this time he might have held leVee
for their entertainment We congratulate the
Doctor on his speedy deliverance from the laws
offended dignity.

Gen. TAYLOR and the Presidency.

1t will be seen from the following letter of Gen.
Taylor, that he is determined TO run for the
Presidency with or without the nomination of
either or both of the National Conventions. As
Wellington said of Peel we like his pluck
may, when those who now support him fall off,
take him up and elect him on own hook.

TRADE-Corfdence. an excitement was
created yesterday by the publication, in the Even
ing Mercury, of the following paragraph:
reported that house in this city largely engaged
the Provision business and said have cleared forty
sand dollars last year in the hne failed yesterday"
We have been requested to state, by gentlemen
thoroughly acquainted with the Provision business
of the city, that there has been no failure of the
kind alluded to. The editors of the Mercury have
evidently been imposed upon, and doubtless regret
the publication of the paragraph. AT time like the
present, when the European political commissions
80 seriously affect the price of principal articles
of export, as well as derange business relations
generally, requiring the utmost exertons of the
mercantile community to fulfil their obligations any
publication calculated to excite distrust should be
carefully avoided

CHINA, Too WHO shall despair of human
ity," after being told that China too has caught
the e progressive spirit of the age' By late
arrival at New York, it is learned that the condi-
ton of the celestial empire seems to be revolution
airy; instructions breaking out in the interior
of the country; the financial resources of the Go
vernment in the greatest disorder. In this state
of things, says the New York Herald, another war
with England will throw China open to European
civilization, and perhaps, in the present rapid pro-
gress of liberalism throughout the world, to repub-
icanism

CoUnr OF INauIRY.-The Court of Inquiry
called by General Pillow in this city concluded its
investigations yesterday. The doors were closed
to the public. The President assigned as
reason for this that there were but two or three
witnesses to be examined, and that no information
of importance would be elected. Mr.. A. Walker
and Mr.. John Maginness, of the Delta, were the
principal witnesses. Mr.. A. Walker, we understand
affirmed that the interneations and erasures in the
famous 'Leonidas" letter were made by himself.
This was the gist of the whole matter and when
the Court adjourned, General Pillow appeared high
ly gratifed.
The members left last evening for Cincinnati.
General Pillow will leave this evening for his resi-
dence in Columbia, Tennessee. He will remain
with his family for few days, and afterwards pro-
coed to Frederick, Nd, at which place this military
investigation will in all probability be concluded

THE FOREIGN COMMERCIAL News. The eff

the foreign intelligence by the America is thus spo
ken of by the Herald:
II had very favorable effect, and the relief ex
perenced by all classes engaged In commerce, was,
for the moment greater than we have seen before IN
a long time. Many who have considered them
selves bankrupted, find that they have been more
frightened than hurt, and those who have been so
terribly panic-struck, wonder how they could have
been timid The wheels of commerce had been
almost completely stopped, and there was no dispo-
sition to move either way, until all doubt was re-
moved. Many bill-drawers refused to sell exchange,
and the greatest apprehension existed relative to bills
previousy drawn and running to maturity. Bills to
very large amount, the return of which was ex-
pected, have been paid and the necessity for large
shipments of specie removed. The news, on the
whole, Is much more favorable than anticipated,
and the effect upon this market, thus far, has been
more satisfactory than any accounts we have re-
ceIved for many months.

THE HAIL SToRM.-TAe Telegraph. The storm
of Tuesday, says the Charleston Courier of the 4h
inst, not only did great damage to the glass in many
buildings throughout the city, and carried great
destruction to vegetables, but spent much of its
fury on the Telegraphic Wires, Posts and Magnets,
as to render them unfit for use for some days to
come. We learn that about four miles of the line
is broken, little this side of Columbia, and that
several of the posts have been struck by lightning,
and shivered to pieces.

Ireland.

We confess that each weeks foreign intelligence,
now, addsr to our hope for Ireland. The constabu-
larry force there is impregnated with sense OF the
counry's rights. The Protestant influence is coming
in to support the same good cause. The moral et-
feet of liberal successes the continent must also
have weight in Ireland. Never before were the
Repeaers so bold: their eloquent words fall like
battle-axes on the defencesof tyranny. 1t cannot
but come TO pass that their perseverance will con-
quer.. The principal thing at present TO be over
come is the dignity of the government; whose
defenders assume that it would be disgraceu to
Weld, now that il is threatened. But they forget
that it would be still more disgracefu to persist in a
course of wrong and cruelty.
Irish rights, however, mayexpect no countenance
from the Russell cabinet. They must await the
advent of a new minister. They will not, proba-
bly, have to wait long.
