Spring Business. The business of our mer-
chants, generally, was never better than it is
this Spring; we mean by this not merely as to
the quantity of goods sold, but to the soundness
of the purchasers also. The present aspect of
the business and financial affairs OF the country,
though not the most brilliant, furnishes some ev-
idence of the advent of the better times so long
looked tor. The trade of the country is in
healthy condition, and the general prosperity of
the agricultural districts, together with the GER
tainty that, before long, large quantity OF gold
must be put in circulation, have inspired gener-
eral confidence, and given a new impulse TO the
commercial energies OF our republic; and here
after, unless every human calculation Is to be
disappointed, we may look for more stability and
certainty in business. Not only tor present,
therefore, but tor future prosperity, we may con-
graduate our commercial community Boston

Tur HANKEeAN INIQulrY. If any one doubled

THE HANNEGAN INQUIRY. If any one doubted
that Gen Taylor and his cabinet are responsible for the
contamination Of this dsgraceul and Ubiquitous affair
those doubts must he dispeed by recurrence to the de-
cision of the Supreme Court Of the United States, in
the case Of Madbury vs.. Madison, Cranch U. S. S

Court 10 issue msndsmus, compelling the Secretary of

Adams-sealed and left in the Secretarys office to be
delivered to him, and withheld by the Secretary,
the nomination having been made by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. Chief Justice Marshall. de-
vering the opinion Of the Court, says
alt is therefore decidedly the opinion Of the Court

dent the APPoINTMENT as made, and that the Com mis-
sion is complete when the seal OF the United States has
been affixed to ii by the Secretary OF the State Where
an officer is removable the will OF the Executive the
circumstance ohich completes his appointment IS OF no
concern; because the act is at any time rerocdbl; and
the Commss on may be arrested If still in the Office.
Thus it will be seen that our highest Judicial tribunal

have taught US, that the appointment is made sohen the
President has signed the commission, and not before
All prior 10 that preliminary, and imposes no oblga
ton on any one And, even after the appointment IS
made and the commission commission is completed, in
the case of any removable officer, like that to which
Hannegan was appointed, the commission may be
withheld by the President, without any violation ofaw

EXCITING LEGAL CASE. Our read ers may
recollect that, some three or four years since,
quite an excitement was created at Springfield,
by quarrel between Major Ripley, commander
at the U. 5. Armory, and Charles Stearns, Esq,
a distinguished citizen of that town whose lands
adjoined the Armory grounds. Major Ripley
somewhat arbitrarily caused fence to be remov-
ed so as to include in the armory groun is small
portion OF land in dispute between the the United
States and Mr.. Stearns. The tier assembled
his men, and 'abolished" the fence They were
all arraigned before the U. S. Court in this city
for riot, and after long and expensive trial were
fully acquitted. Mr.. Stearns then brought an
action for trespass before of the State Courts.
by which his title to the land in dispute was full.
ly sustained; aud then appealed to Congress for
remuneration for his losses in consequence OF the
riot prosecution. Congress, like our own Legis-
lature in the case OF Zebulon Paine, thought it
would be setting bad 'precedent" to do sim
pie act of justice, and Mr.. Stearns has now sued
Ripley before the u S. Court, for damages, and
the case eXcites much interest among the people
where the parties are known Boston Mail.

doubtful whether such contributions could be

Mr.. HUDSON, THE RAILWAY KING. The
Foreign correspondent of the Boston Post, writ
ing from Perth, Scotland, says of this celebrated
fnancier
ga most unlucky fatr pas has been commit
ted lately by the great railway king, George
Hudson, Esq, M. P. In all matters pertaining
to railways, he has had as great celebrity as ever
had Nicholas Biddle, as a inancier; and his TALL
appears to be as sudden and inevitable All the
large companies have WED with one another in
giving him office, honor and power; and each
has tried to secure his services president or al
Least director. He will preside over but one
company at time, but hold shares in several,
and by his intimate knowledge OF all the various
companies, know when TO buy or sell and he
has played his cards so well, that he has feather.
ed his nest handsomely, and is now in pounds
sterling reputed TO be millionaire. AS mem.
Der OF parliament he is the principal man OH the
railway committees.
The unfortunate contretempts that has placed
him across the track OF the great railway of pub
nc opinion, where the cars and engines of popu-
lar lndigha Ion bid fair to crush BIN, appears to
De TINS. Alter one or two pretty direct pieces OF
evidence that ne has played foul towards railway
companies, for the purpose oil pocketing profits
himself, the following disclosure has been brought
to light. Mr. Hudson was president OF the East
erh oounties Railway, not very profitable con.
Germ, and the company, through their board OF
directors, voted to purchase $500 shares in riv.
al line. that they might control il. Mr.. Hudson
owned $500 shares in this rival line. and in his
capacity of president of the eastern counties rail-
way, purchased these $500 shares of himself, at
rate lar above the market price, and pocketed
the profits to the tune OF some thirteen thousand
pounds sterling
when an investigation was entered into. he
lodged the meeting, and was among the missing.
when they finally got word to him by "extraor.
binary express" he declined answering any OF
their questions, but coolly remarked it they
thougnt ne had taken too high price, he would
fe'uno me money. Now the whole railway,
financial and specializing community are down
on MIN through the newspapers, like a hawk on
a June bug, and iorcbly illustrates the old adage
tnat when man gets 10 going down hill eyery
one hits him kick.

OF captured Africans, who were Immediately set

send captured negroes to Guiana, instead OF Sier.

The most interesting intelligence is the &C.
count OF an extensive revolt, and an insurrecton
OF the slaves at Pernambuco. The captain of
ship which had arrived at Berbice, Guiana, from
Pernambuco reports that rebellion had broken
out in that province; that the insurgents held
possession OF the town for two days, but were
then driven out. The loss on both sides was
about 400 men. The insurgents were ranging
over the country in every direction, DESTROYING

rived later from Pernambueo, Rio Janeiro and

had broken out in all those places The object
OF the revolt was understood to be- first, the free.
