CITY AFFAIRS.
SUPERIOR COURT. Nov. IS.

Commonwealth VS.. W. B. Aforementioned fer For
gery-The Court met this morning at IL o'clock, pur-
suant to adjournment. The accused by his counsel,
rendered to the Court special plea bar setting forth
that he had been formerly examined by the Hastings
Court of Richmond, the 9Th dav of November 1913
and by the Judgment OF said Court remanded to this
Court for farther trial; and that afterwards. at the
last term Of this Court the Attorney for the Common
wealth entered nolle proSequi and declared that he
would not prosecute further the case upon which the
Grand Jury had found Indictment or in the other
case, which had been remanded by the judgment of the
Court Of Hastings to this Court for further trial and
that by the Judgment of this Court the proceedings in
the said were dismissed determined and ended
The plea further alleged that the prisoner ought not
now to be further prosecuted for this offence in this
Court.
10 this plea the counsel for the Commonwealth de-
mured and the prisoner joined in the demurrer 1t was
commended on the part OF the Commonwealth in support
OF the demurrer, that nolle posequ was no bar to
nrther prosecution The counsel for the prisoner argued
that the second examination by which the prisoner was
renanded for trial in this court had been adudged at
former stage OF this prosecution be nully that the
flrst examination and all the proceedings thereon had
been dismissed and ended by the entry the aoe prose
qu and theudgment of this Court remandng him to the
cuStouy vi tic oCerS, 10 be carried before single Ma
gistrate, to be dealt with according to law
The arguments of counsel being fully heard on both
sides, the Court sustained the demurrer and required the
accused to plead to the Indictment Thereupon he
pleaded Not Guilty. The Court then proceeded to en-
panel jury, when it was discovered that the venire
men in attendance were summoned under the uenne
Jac'as issued upon the second examination of the ac-
cused, which the Court had decided to be illegal And
upon the motion OF the counsel for the accused, the
panel was quashed and uenire facts de MORO awarded
returnabe forthwith.
A jury was obtained about half past s o'clock, sworn
and charged in the prisoners cause. AS it was then late
the Court suggested the proprety OF adournng the Jury
over, unless the counsel on both sides thought they
could finish the by reasonable hour tonight or
10 oclock-which being declared by the counsel to be
impossible, the Court adjourned until tomorrow, at half
past 10 o'clock.

No iSzauery in California.


The following is the comment of the Enquirer
on the news that the California Convention has I'M
animously determined to exclude slavery from the
State about to be formed:
"We confess great surprise at the unanimous
adoption otthe slavery prohibition by the Conveu-
ton. From such Southern men as G. T. Bolts, Dr.
Gwln and others, had looked Tor resistance to
the scheme-but if the people OF California under the
lead of Gen Riley and T. Butler King the agents of
Southern President insist with one voice upon excud
ing slavery, the South, suppose will have to bow her
head and be rlcked out OF her rights We pleased
to see the Convention evnce their good carving
out only State of reasonable dimensions; leaving the
larger portion OF the territory for future action By this
means they may better succeed in inducing Congress
admit them into the Union. The Regency have played
beautifully into the hands ofthe Free Soilersp'
The Enquirer half-acquiescence half-censure is
curiously contradictory. If it be true that the
people of California, sswith one voice." including
even "such Southern men as c. 7. Bolts and DR..
Gwin," insist upon excluding slavery, how is it
possible that the counsels of Gen. Riley and Mr..
King could have produced the decision? Mr..
Bolts, we all know, is a warm Democrat, and,
moreover, one of the South Carolina pattern. Is
1t likely that he was influenced to give the vote he
gave, by the presumed policy of a Wing adminis-
tration?
The only reasonable explanation of the result,
is, that the people of California really do not want
slaves amongst them. They are working popu-
aton and tits not wonderful that they are opposed
to competing with negro labour.
Our Democratic neighbour uses strange lam
guage for so Jealous supporter of the "Virginia
resolutions of resistance. 'sThe South, we sup
pose he says, ",oM haze 10 boao her head and be
tricked out Of her rights" Now we utterly de-
muir 10 the idea of maintaining the honour Of the
South by pleading that she has been aiched.-
Suppose Great Britain were to trick the United
States out of some valued right, would it comport
with the national dignity for our Government
meekly to Joo The head, and make the plea of
trick
1t is too evident to be disputed that the question
of carrying slavery into California has been fairly
and deliberately determined against the South
Let us resolve then. not to bow our heads TO any
body, but like sutton who has lost his cause, to
acquiesce cheerfully in what we cannot have
otherwise.

From the Petersburg Republican Of Wednesday,
The Virginia annual Conference of the NJ E. Church

South
The sessions this body for the last two days have
very much increased in interest After the transaction
of some less important business on Monday the Confer
proceeded the election of Delegates and Reserved
Delegates to the next General Conference of the NJ e
Church South, which is to be held in ST. Louis in 1850
with the following result
Delegates-John Early, William A. Smith LEROY
M. Lee, Thomas Crowder, David S. Doggett,s
ny Dbrell, Joseph II. Davis, and George w Lang
horn
Reserved Delegates--Leonidas Rosser and John r
Edwards.
After this election, which consumed much time a pro-
position was made to change the time Of holding the
sons OF the Conference from November to February
This proposition elected long, animated able and anu
sing debate, drawing out considerable portion of the
talent OF the Conference. The audience had fine op-
portunlty OF learning the privaons and hardshps and
sacrifices OF those engaged in the lneraney. The poor
unfortunate month OF February most terribly abused
and belaboured for his Jack tross snow ice and mud;
pork houses, servants and general provisions We're i'm
potant items in the bill OF objections the change The
discussion was continued on Tuesday, and was fnally
closed by vote requesting the Bishops change the
time ofholdg the sessions OF the Conference to as near
the close OF the month Of November in each year as will
suit their convenience.
After the adoption OF resolution recommending that
General 1enPerance Meeting be held in the Wash
ngton Street Church, tonight, the audience withdrew
and the Conference, with closed DOORS proceeded TO the
Consideration OF private business.
On Monday night, the Anniversary meeting of the
Virginia Annual Conference Missionary Society was
held In the Washington Street Church. The house was
crowded at early hour, and the meeting was alto
geher interesting. The speakers were DR.. Lee and
Bishop Andrew. The former gentleman, with much
eloquence ability and feeling depicted the present
dition and the pressing demands of the heather world
Bishop Andrews address was devoted to an exhibition
OF the missionary work aeady accomplished at home
ana abroad and the very great necessity there now eX
lists for more laborers and more money We will not at
tempt to give even synopsis Of his address, for we are
sure we should do him much injustice Suffice it to
say that i abounded with more important and affecting
facts and was, altogether the most interesting and i'm
pressve address that have ever heard upon the sub
ject
h1er the close Of the speaking, subscription in be-
hall OF the cause OF Missions was taken up amounting
to one thousand and Sepent4- fue doLkarS.
