The CRIMINAL CoURT has been occupied since
last report in the trial and disposal of number
of petty cases of assault keeping dsordery houses
riot, &C., of no general interest, and we have not
deemed them of sufficient Importance to make a
report Considerable curiosity was manifested
about the courthouse and in the street, as to who
had been selected by the new Marshal as his
deputy, in the place of Mr.. Thomas Woodward,
who has been appointed Naval Storekeeper at this
station; but the of his successor, if appointed,
is yet in the dark, though two or three very well
qualified citizens are named in connexion with the

memory.
HosE.-The Franklin Fire Company received
yesterday the 500 feet of hose voted by the cor
poration TO that company, which was manufactured
in Philadelphia, to order, and to be strong
and efficient article. 1t was tested by the company
yesterday afternoon under the direction of Captain
Buckingham, the city inspector Of fire apparatus,
whose opinion, we learn, was favorable. This
supply of hose, with the 500 feet of the same ma
teral on hand will add much to their well-known
efficiency in case of fire. Similar appropriations
by the councils have been made to the other fire

Whereas, we are assembled, as American citizens,

front of the halls Of Congress- at the Capital of the
nation, we gladly embrace the occasion to express
our heartfelt sympathy with the struggling republic
cans of Europe, and publish to the world our de-
termination to aid them by all lawful and honorable
means:
Resolved That the Republicans of America send
greeting to the Republicans of Europe, and cheer
them on in their glorious conflicts with despotic
power
Resolved, That while we recognise the out-breath-
ngs of the Spirit of Liberty, in the patriotic sent-
ments uttered by our brother Republicans across
the waters, we have heard, with peculiar delight,
the prophetic vow of Kossuth, the Patriot Chief
and President of Hungary, in these words:
standing firm on the eternal law of the uni
verse, that whatsoever avaeth himself of perjury
and injustice, himself prepareth the way that jus
| tce may triumph; swear that my prophecy will
| be fulfilled that the freedom Of Hungary will be
secured by its invasion by tyrants."
Resolved, That we, too, have a firm belief in the
| fuhlment of this prophecy; and, however the
millions of the Autocrat of Russia may prevail
against the gallant Hungarians, and their brave
allies for time, truth, justice, and liberty must
| triumph in the end.

while express no opinion as TO the ecclesiastical
bearings Of the question at stake, and much regret
the hasty and i'll advised measures of some Of the
professed leaders Of the French people, we cannot
and will not turn deaf ear TO the voice OF the blood
Of eight hundred Romans, that cries 10 from the
ground.
Resolved, That il our words Of cheer shall reach
| the Roman patriots, who have struck for their
rights, and the rights Of man. call upon them, in
the Of the God Of our fathers, and in the name
Of that liberty which those fathers won for us,
against such fearful odds, NEVER TO SURRENDER to
their misguided invaders, even though the walls Of
the eternal city are levellcd TO the dust.

America, Of all parties, all sects and all conditions

crisis, and TO proceed at once, by voluntary contr-
buttons, TO raise and transmit such supplies, prov-
sions, and clothing, may be necessary to secure
the complete victory Of the Republicans Of Europe.
Resolved, That we cordially approve the wise and
judicious policy Of the American Government, in
preserving a strict official neutrality between the
different combatants, inssmuch as IT is the policy
pursued and recommended by WAsHNeTos-
" Friendly relations with all entangling alliances
with none"

parties, respectfully requested to insert these
