The FIRST examination of this in
stitution took place on the 10th inst,
at Oxford. Speeches were delivered
by eight Of the young gentlemen, and
they are spoken Of by those who were
present, in complimentary terms;
speeches were also delivered by
Judge Clayton, on The part of the
Board ofTrustees, and by Professor
Bledsoe, on the part Of the Faculty.
Mr.. Holmes has resigned the Presi.
dency and Judge Longstrect, the
eminent jurist, profound scholar, and
withall the author Of the inimitablC
Georgia Scenes" has been elected
by the Trustees, TO fill the vacancy.
A better selection could not have
been made, and the institution, with
its other advantages, under his super
vision, will soon gain in the literary
world, a reputation, inferior to few
colleges in the United States.
Through the praise worthy liber-
atty ofour State Legislature, il has
been endowed with sufficient fund,
to enable the Trustees to complete
lhe buildings, and employ four Pro-
fessors. Tie Trustees eminendy
deserve the commentator Of the
friends Of science, in their faithful
and judieious outlay OF the fund in

desired that The generosity Of the last
Legislature, may be initiated blythe
next, in making such other appropri.
atoms as may be necessary, to furnish
the university with additional Pro-

OF An amusing incident occurred in one Of our
law courts day two since, illustrating the wide
difference that prevails between practice and even
terms in Admiralty, and those used in common
law courts
The Counsel in the ease, in mentioning a fact
that had appeared in evidence. remarked that the
Court would find it stated in the opostles. Judge
o., whispering 10 the Clerk, asked Where did
he say!" The Clerk was puzzled, and said he
would ask the Connsel-whioh he did. In the
opostles,' said Mr. b. "The apostles " asked the
Judge; Yes, sir" was the reply. The Juds..
was forced to ask what "tte apostles were,
which the Counsel explained by saying thai the
papers in the case, as sent up from the lower court
We're so designated.
The Judge demonstrated against the term and
said if he We're Judge B. he would not allow i; TO
be used in his court.
But said the Counsel, it can't be helped
without changing the act of Congress- the rules OF
the Court, and nil English books on Admiralty law"
Why" said the Judge, do you mean to say
that the word Is used IN any act Of Congress -
Yes, SIR was the reply, it is always used in
acts relating TO Admiralty practice"

trict Court Of Men Orleans. .RosT, J This case
has been several times before the Supreme Court
The following was the only point of importance
decided on this appeal. Per Curiam: On the first
tabeau of distribution filed, the claim of Mrs.
West and her right of preference were contested
by these opponents The heirs of Hull on The ground
that, her mortgage not having been recorded as
required by the act of 1913, her claim was abso-
lutely null and void. We disallowed the right of
mortgage, but recognized the claim an ordinary
debt to The amount Of $500 West His Credit
ors, Ann 365. II appears that, at the time this
opposition was made, Mrs. West had received the
sum Of $4i49 40 from the assignee Of her husband,
after his failure in 1872 The opponents now
plead this payment, and insist that Mrs. West has
no claim to any portion of the fund in hand. In
the appeals taken from the judgments rendered on
the opposiiions to the second tableau of distribu
ton filed by the syndic, We held that creditor
who had proved claim at the time of the first
distribution, and received dividend out of the
fund then in the hands of the syndic, was not de-
barred thereby from the right of proving in a SUBJ
sequent distribution, another and distinct claim
existing at the time of the failure. We came to
this conclusion by analogiss drawn from the prac-
tice established under the bankrupt law of Eng
land and of the United States, giving effect to the
familiar rule that where there is doubt upon ques
ton of res judicata, the party against whom the
plea is set up should have the benefit of that doubt

Were made, it follows that new grounds of opposi-
ton may be set up against their claims, whenever

distribution. 1t is proved that Mrs West has re-
ceived S4l49 40 on her claim. That amount must
be deducted from the sum of $500, for which she

sitlon of the heirs of Hull against Mrs. West, ex

fsrers, the latters clothes taking fire and burning
with such rapdity that before aid could be afforded
he was nearly burnt to death, and only survived
about four hours after the sad occurrence. MIR.

not dangerously hurt, and DR.. p, in attempting to
extingush the flames, had his hands considerably
burnt, and was Otherwise injured.

The Hungarians it il said, have decided to raze
the Notifications of Buda. Kossuth is to occupy
the Royal Palace there. Twenty thousand muskets
are said 10 have fallen into the hands of the Hun
garians when Buda was taken by them. A letter
from Temlin says that 60 900 Russians are in Tran

ton Of President of the new Assembly had resulted
in the choice of NJ Dupin, he having 336 votes
against 1872 for Ledru Rollin and &c for Gen. La

Rollin the Radical Republicans and Socialists.

that the Emperor of Russia held the following dis

general officers Of that country: Poland would
always be in terment as long as there single
Pole alive; buiby kindness and concessions that
country might be brought TO be an honest and enhu

it is necessary to do away with the petty, incompe
