been performed before in the United States They
have kept up for two years private theatre, where
have been acted the best comedies of the language

furnished it with great quantity of scenery, and
costly wardrobe, and for two winters have given
weekly exhibitions, adding thus to the ENJOYMENT
Of large number Of intelligent families. MANY

theatres, have been frequent attendants on the His

The Spring term of Onslow County Superior Court
commenced its session at jacksonville ON Monday
last, his honor Judge BAILEY, presiding.
The only matter of interest before the Court, was
the trial of NATHAN, the slave of Mr.. SILVER, for
grand larceny. Great difficulty was, as usual, had
in the composition of the jury some twenty zone
or two peremptory challenges having been made,
seventeen of whom by the prisoner. There
seemed to exist very general conviction of his guilt
and the panel was twice thrice exhausted in con-
sequence The evidence would have been fully re-
ported through the facilities in the command of the
Journal for readers if it regarded as trial
of any unusual Importance A great number of per-
sons examined for the purpose of establishing
an alib that, in other words the prisoner was at
another place at the time when the crime was per-
petraed. We did not wait for the verdict of the ju-
ry before departure. Being the first offence if
found guilty, the prisoner will be admitted to his
clergy and whipped. The circumstances attending
the preparation of the felony, such require
the in1iction of severe punishment upon the guilty
person.
Our apologies are due to the gentleman to whom,
in fit of absence ofmind, introduced ourself as
Mr.. Cox and also to the Court for the disturbance
and laughter which the mistake occasioned The
name is, perhaps as good as PRICE ;" but then ev-
cry crow thinks its young the whitest," and as
we were a collecting tour, had no desire to be
" incor. - Those Onslow people are, after all, the
best hearted souls in the world, and consequently
some Of the best friends We have. It would not,
therefore, them right for of the proprietors
of this paper to pass without giving them oppor-
tunity, which they always improve, of paying their
subscriptions, and charging the circulation of the

The union of any party all-cssentia1 to success
must be the result Of mutual compromise and con-
cession for it is totally impossible that people should
agree perfectly upon every point. No two men ever
yet held precisely the same opinions upon all sub
ects and no two men ever will but in order to en-
sure concert of action it i necessary that those who
agree upon great leading measures and principles
should waive their minor differences and personal
predictions upon matters which are not, strictly
speaking questions of party policy principle We
might instance the present position of parties in this
State, upon the subject of Internal improvements.

Foreign News.

Since our last we have received the news by two
British steamers the Cambria and Canada, bringing
dates from Liverpool up to the 18th and Goth April
respectively. We find but little news of any impor-
lance. There is slight advance in cotton, say of
cent per pound. Business is brisk in the manufac-
turing districts and the probabilities are in favor of
still farther advance. The Pope has returned to
Rome and been we'll received. The question of the
blockade of the Greeiau ports is still unsettled The
Emperor of Russia has expressed his determination
to sustain the Grecian government. Should the ne
gotatons pending fail, there is to apprehend
serious difficulties between England and Russia.
The British Ministry have lately met with several
serious defeats in the House of Commons which it is
believed will occasion their resignation. The weather
both in England and Ireland, has been remarkably
favorable. Emigration from Ireland will be even
greater this season than formerly. The Red Repub
licans and Socialists are gaining ground in France
and an outbreak is feared The funds have been
much depressed in consequence. There is nothing
new from Germany. The Schleswig Holstein war is
as far from a settlement as ever. Mr.. Marsh, Min
lister from the United States to Turkey has been re-
Eccived in highly fattering manner The Sultan
has added Christian battalion to each of his reg-
ments.
The Barque N. r. Taft, from Boston to Charles

Her crew was taken off by the steamer Nina but the
vessel will be a complete wreck. The N. r. Taft
had cargo of ice in her lower hold, and assorted
goods between decks. It is understood that there
was insurance of $4,000 on the vessel, but no.
thing is known in regard to the cargo which will be
very much damaged.

ImnrOvcment OF new River.

During visit to Onslow county this week, we
had an opportunity of conversing with large num-
Der of the gentlemen of that county, and we found
them unanimous upon the subject of clearing out
New River. On the 29th of March last, Mr.. Man.
GUM presented petition to Congress- signed by 800
of the most respectable inhabitants of Onslow coun-
ty praying for an appropriation for the improvement
of New River and for the removal of shoals at its
mouth. That petition was referred to the Commit
tee on Commerce, but owing to the all-engrossing
subject of slavery, it has not yet been reached at
least no report has so far been made. Tt is highly
probable that Congress may yet make an appropria-
ton for this purpose at its present session Congress
will not, application will be made to next Le-
gslature. The people of Onslow are determined up
on this improvement.
