sble for 50 much Of 1t a. Warner transferred TO

could not convey any to them. But Warner is an

placed for the whole as creditor Of Essenwen,
lust a. he was before the Transaction occurred.
The application of these principles of the COM
mon law 10 these parties, If Il needed confirmation
would receive il from the statute Of New York, Of
April 1880, for the amendment of the law relative
principals and factors agents. The transfer to
Warner a New York transaction. The Sd sec
ton of that act very distinctly provides for those
cases when the ownership of the factor OF goods
which he contracts sell shall be said to exist to
give protection to purchasers against any claim OF
the factors principal. II Is when he contracts for
any money advanced, or for any negotiable insru-
ment other obligation in writing given for mer-
chandse upon tho faith that the factor is the owner
of it. The concluding words of the section are
"giuen BY such other person upon the faith thereof"
Three demonstrations Of that act have been prev
alent, but they have been corrected by the courts
of New York. We concur with them fully. One
was, that the statute altered the common law, so
to give validity to sale made by the factor for
an antecedent debt due by him to the person with
whom he contracts. Another, that the statute gave
to purchaser protection. whether he knew or not
that the goods which the factor contracted to sell
him were not the factors. and belonged to his
principal; and the other, that the concluding words,
"upon the faith thereof" related to the advance
made upon the goods and not TO the property which
the factor had in them. Similar misconceptions
were and perhaps still prevail concerning the cor
responding section in the English factors act Geo.
4, CHI a. 1895 The alterations of the common law in
this particular by the English and the New York
statutes suggested by practical and experience
ed merchants in both countries to meet the cxigen
cies of internal trade and its extension between ma
tons. They are believed by their operation to be
improvements in the law merchant. II may be ow-
ing to a misapprehension of those acts that the de-
PENDANTS denied to the plaintiffs their rights For.
unately, the law secures them, and the case settled
tits may prevent other controversies like it.
We shall direct the decree of the circuit court to
be affirmed; and also order decree to be entered
against the defendants that each OF them shall pay
to the plaintiffs the value Of the tobacco which the
defendants respectively retained with interest upon
them.

The Troy Wing copies the article from the
New York Courier and Enquirer commenting
on Mr.. SEwARD's recent letter, with the re-
mark that it is well to understand that this
document has not rsceiued the approval Of a
single WING paper. This can hardly be'won-
dered at. All the Vino papers, as far as we
know, have approved the policy Of the WING
Administration as to acquiescence in the Com
promise measures. 1t could not well be ex-
pected that all these journals would "turn their
backs on themselves" because Mr.. SEWARD

Direct Import.tions to Richmond.

We learn that all the principal mercantile houses
Of Richmond will send out agent by the next
steamer to make arrangements for obtaining their
goods henceforth direct from England. We hail
this as an suspicious movement for the interests Of
our city and State. The country press of Virgil
mia, trust, will notice the fact. and assure their
readers that hereafter there will be necessity for
Virginia merchants making their purchases out OF
the State.-Richmond Republican
This is an ''auspicious" movement, pro-
vided the mercantile houses Of Richmond can
procure their goods on more favorable terms
by their agent than by purchasing them in the
northern cities. As their goods will have to
come by the steamers, via New York, we ap-
prehend that they will not save much by the
operation. 1t all resolves itself into Question
Of dollars and cents. Traders will soon find
out which mode Of business will pay best, and
govern themselves accordingly.

Important Opinion In the Supreme Court.

paper the opinion Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, delivered by Mr.. Justice
WAYNE, in Warner CT al. VS.. Martina case
Of great interest to the mercantile community,
appealed from the circuit court Of the United
States for the eastern district of Pennsylvania.
1t involves several important points in the law
of agency, on which some misconception has
prevailed, that this opinion will effectually re-
move. The facts of the case are recaptulated
with great clearness by the Court, and with SO
much brevity that we cannot well compress
them into any smaller space and leave them in
telligibIe. We must therefore, content our
selves with referring our readers to the opinion
itself, and with acknowledging the courtesy
which has enabled us to lay SO important docu-
ment before them in advance Of its publication
in the new volume of Howard, which we I'M
derstand is in an advanced stage, and will be
issued by Messrs. Little and Brown, in the
same style Of improved typography on fine
paper that marked the last volume from their
press. It is worth while to note that, while in
other departments there is gradual lapsing
into barbarism in the topographic art, the laws
are issued, and the reports of the Supreme Court
are published, in better style than ever before.

We are at a loss to decide whether the IA
festations at the North or at the South. When
we reflect upon the speeches made and the
letters read at the recent Abolition convention
in Boston, the frantic course of the RAHToULs,
SUMMERS, and other candidates for public IA
vOr; the prayers of the CoLvERs, PARKERs,
and similar gentlemen of the cloth; the pro-
ceedings of the New York Legislature in re-
gard to the invitation proposed to be extended
to MIR. WEBSTER; the course Of the Board OF
Aldermen of Boston in refusing the use Of Fan
euil Hall for public reception to that gentle
man; and the opposition manifested by section
of the northern people, not to the Fugitive Slave
law of 1893 or 1851, but to the provision of the
Constitution which contemplates the surrender
of fugitives from labor; we think that fanati-
cism has done its perfect work at the North.
But, on the other hand, when we regard the
proceedings of the corresponding classes of ia
natics at the South, we are inclined to think
that they are little or no better than the men
who denounce the Constitution as an "atro.
cious bargain" and compact with hell.''
They are evidently all persons of the same
temper and purposes, and both mean mischief
and anarchy.
We have a paper before us, for instance,
published at Galveston, in Texas. called the
.Ns,cs. 1t appears to be tolerably sane jour
nal in some respects, but on this matter of the
Compromise it is as mad as March hare. II
says that it was supposed by the people of the
South that this Compromise would assist in re-
storing "those thirty thousand slaves who (by
the encouragement Of the North) had been
so long lost to their owners" In the
same article it says that it has been stated
without contradiction, that the fugitirt
sLaUes haze more than doubled in num-
Der since the passage Of the Compro
mise" II would lead its readers to suppose
therefore, that there have been thirty thousand
runaways since the passage of the Compro
mise bills. Now, what mode Of reasoning car
be adopted with journal which starts on such
premises as these? When Mr.. SEWARD con
demns an arrangement with Texas, which he
himself approved, and promised to support, as 3
base concession to seditious Commonwealth
that is dishonest enough, in all conscience but
it is not worse than the suggestion of any sane
man, that there is any reason to believe thai
thirty thousand, or one thousand, on one hun
drsd slaves have escaped into the free States
within the last seven or eight months.
So in South Carolina. We think that the
fanatics of that State are as wicked and as
crazy, if possible, as the fanatics Of Massachu-
sets. We do not remember that we have seen
any thing more reasonable and abominable in
the sayings and doings Of the PHLLrpsEs,
WRIeHTs, PARKERs, and MAINS, of the city OF
Boston, than in those Of the Southern Rights
Association Of South Carolina. We have be-
lore us, for instance, the proceedings Of the
Southern Rights Association Of the Laurens

Quick PAssAaEs.-Whilst CHANGING over one of
Lieut. MAUny's Wind and Current charts, not the
latest, hung up in the Museum of the Brooklyn Ma
Wy Yard, we could not avoid feeling Of surprise on
hearing, at the Same time, from an officer who
stood by US, that these excellent charts, cmbodying
the results of the experience of officers In both pub
lie and private VESSELS in nuinbcrless voyages and
through long course Of years, in regard to winds
and currents in all parts of the ocean, and which
afford certain aids for shortening the average time
expended by vessels in their passage to foreign
ports, and even along coast, should be in use.
out Of the navy, to but limited extent. The ex-
treme value Of these charts, presenting, an they
do, the carefully ascertained results Of obser
vations conducted by vast body of skilful navi-
gators respecting two of the most important
conditions that enter into a speedy passage, re-
moves all clue to any appreciable reason for this
neglect. Neither is any complicated process rem
dered necessary for the ascertainment and COM
parison of the presented results The track ofves-
sells and the character of Winds in series Of years
and months are given without confusion, BY means
Of varied coIors, symbols, and characters. That,
il these charts were moro generally adopted, tho
effect would be visible throughout our mercantile
marine, no man convcrsant with their bearing on
nautical success can well doubt. We arc induced
to make these remarks BY the fact that Lieutenant
Maury's charts are receiving increased attention
from foreign sbip-owners, moro especially the Brit
isb who see, in the aids they furnish, and In q
practical application Of the principles they have
evolved the chief means of maintaining awhile

Mr.. Webatsr and the Refusal or FaneuiI
Hall.

Hall.
By a Geographic despatch received last even
ing we learn that, at meeting of the Com
mon Council on Thursday night, resolutions
were passed censuring the Board of Aldermen
for refusing Faneuil Hall to Mr.. WEBSTER,
and expressing the qualification it would have
given the country to hear him there in support
of law and order. In letter declining to ad-
dress the people at this time, Mr.. WEBSTER
says he cares nothing personally for the refusal,
but regrets that he has not the qualification Of
addressing the citizens of Boston. He remarks
that the resolution refusing the hall to him
emanated from the same body that refused to
join with others in inviting Mr.. FILLMORE to
visit Boston,
