Both petitions were tried together the second be-
ing considered in the nature Of answer to the
first. The counsel, upon the conclusion Of the tes-
timony agreed 10 submit the 10 the court with

Mrs. Hollands petition, and rejected that of her
husband The first petition granted solely on
its first allegation, that of ndelity the court not
being Of opinion that the charge Of habitua intoxi

A NoBLE-HEARTED WRECKER.-The Salem IN.
J. } Standard relates the following of Captain Jo-
seph Gaskill, Jersey shoreman, of whom the
Newark DAILY adds that she has assisted various
occasions in rescuing hundred persons and mil
lions of property from shipwreck-without having
ever received one cent by way of remuneration"
Captain G. is as unassuming as he is brave, and
it is with the greatest difficulty he can be induced
to enter upon a recital of his adventures, which
have been sufficiently numerous, on our wild and
desolate shore, To fill most entertaining volume.
Last April brig drove ashore near Great Egg
Harbor; the night was dark, and the storm ragged
furiously As usual, the fishermen crossed the
sound 10 the beach, but their boats were all too
heavy TO be carried over and il was impossible TO
pass them out the inlet. In the extremity of de-
spair, and while the vessel was momentarily eN-
pected TO 60 10 pieces Capt. G. arrived with di-
minutive cunning skif, decked over except a small
space scarcely large enough to seat the rover.
The skill was soon carried over the beach launched
into the SURF and Capt. G., seizing the oars, start
ed directly through the breakers for the brig.
Every wave of course submerged the tiny craft,
but, drenched and half frozen, he finally arrived
alongside.
"The captain and crew were struck with aston
ishment at the temerty of the bold sailor, and for
getting their own peril, hailed her, skif ahoy
where are you boundP Captain G.. received one
of the crew from the bowsprit, who, sitting with
his back TO the stern, formed breakwater, and by
this means safely landed Notwithstanding
the GOODNESS Of the weather, Capt G. continued his
trips until every man on board was saved; and
sunrise found him struggling for full hour, on HE
last trip, with the captain and his dog The entire
crew would undoubtedly have persisted had IL not
been for the intrepdity Of Capt G. in venturing
would have induced him TO perform this noble act,
but the knowledge that fellow-creatures demanded
his assistance appealed 10 the heart, and command
ed the aid of the generous sailor"

/ enclose you a slip which embraces all the re-
turns that have reached Baltimore up to the pres
ent writing. We have done badly in this city
OF this fact there is no doubt. | know not that
can better express the state of the case than by
adopting the language OF the Patriot:
''The weather was very inclement in the after
noon, which had the effect Of reducing the votes in
all of the wards result which has proved disastrous
TO the Wing ticket. The whole Locofoco ticket is
elected TO the Legislature, and Mr.. McLane IL.
F. is reelected To Congress in this (the fourth)
district.
This result is to be ascribed to the short poll for
Mr. McLane has not many votes as he received
two years ago-and he is far behind that which was
cast for the Wing ticket last fall. Had the vote
been full, in the face Of the indifference and want
of spirit which is shown, by the vote cast to exist
in the ranks of the Locofocos, should now be
enabled 10 record the complete triumph of the
Wing ticket, and the entire redemption of the city
of Baltimore from the Locofoco majority which so
long has held sway in it. The Locofocos have
elected their ticket but by vote which proves that
they are minority OF the people of Baltimore, and
that they will be defeated whenever the full vote of
the people is cast"
must say there inexcusable lukewarm-
ness upon the part of our friends. After storm
comes calm. Thus, after the glorious triumph in
the Presidential election we have settled down, for
the time being, into comparative quietude; but
truth, crushed to earth, will rise again.
