From ST. DoMINGo.-By Yesterdays mails we
have detailed accounts of the important news from
St. Domingo received at New York, and briefly
referred TO heretofore in Geographic accounts The
arrival is the Thames, Capt Cock 1t appears
the former President, Santana, has been replaced
in the Government to the exclusion of Jimenes.
Jimenes was suspected, if not indeed convicted
of completely with Soulouque, the President
of Hayt, in design to bring both parts of the
island under one sway Jimenes was to surrender
every thing 10 Soulouque, and would have carried
the plot into effect but for the patriotic opposition
of Santana who placed himself at the head of the
army and soon turned the tide of affairs
The former account, that the revolution had been
completed, seems to have been premature. BY this
arrival we learn that Santana was at the head of
5000 men, laying siege to the city of St. Domingo,
which he had summoned to surrender, with threat
of bombardment. The foreign consuls were pre-
pairing TO embark on board the men of war lying
of the town, and the women and children were also
to take refuge on board the shipping. Jimenes had
possession of the Qualifications, and il was thought
he would hold out, but he had only 400 men with
him to defend them So
Many arrests had been made in the city by j.
menes. He had attempted to arrest Mr.. Elliott the
American consul, and number of persons who
mad taken refuge under his flag, but the attempt
was successfully resisted with the aid oft he British
consul and the captain of British man of war;

District Court Of The Parish Of Jefferson Rosr
j.. We give this decision in full, it has
ted much discussion in the Parish of Jefferson and

case was before our predecessors on a former ap.
peal, and the facts of it are fully stated in the opin-
ion of the Court. IL Rob. R. 66S
On the first trial in the District Court the plain
iltfs obtained verdict for $40 900 damages, upon
which judgment was rendered in their favor.
The Supreme Court affirmed the Judgment, but on
application for rehearing the majority of the
Court remanded The case for new trial. princi-
pally on the ground that the dan ages were excess
sive. TheCourt also minated doubt as to the
liability of the corporation for the tortuous acts
charged against its officers.
On the second trial the plaintiffs obtained YER
diet and judgment for 5000, and the defendants
prosecuted the present appeal.
After the verdicts of two uries, the facts of the
must be considered as settled in favor of the
plaintiffs. and we have no hesitation in saving tina,
those facts authorize the recovery of DAMAGES
against the defendants. 1t is true the acts com
planned of were not done by the authority and
order of the CITY government, but those acts. after
thew were done. were ratified by the CORPORATION.

Under this view of the law of the case. the only
question left is as to the amount of the damages
allowed The general rul. of law nnder which
damages are allowed in our system of iurisnrn

man that causes damage to another obpes him
by whose fault it happened to repair it's C. c.

Under that rule the reparation made must equal
the injury inflicted But an exception is made by
article 1928 c. G., in relation to damages resulting
from offences, quasi offences and quasi contracts.
