FuRTHER PnocEEpISos IN THE ORIGINAL CASE
AGAINST SHApRAcK THE FrGITIvE.-At 10 o'clock
yesterday, according TO an adjournment from Sat-
urday, George Il. Curtis, esq, United States Com
missioner. came into the United States court
to proceed further with the examination in the case
of the complaint against Shadrack, as the fugitive
slave of John ID, Brcc, claimed by his agent, John
Cuphart.
Colonel Seth J, Thomas, counsel for the claim
ant, after referring to the postponcmont, moved
that Shadrack be brought into court.
MIR. Dcvcns, United States Marshal, who arrived
in this city on Monday evening, and was in court,
stated that Shadrack was no longer in his custody,
and his absence would be accounted for by p. Riley
his deputy marshal, who was then preparing an
answer to the motion made by Colonel Thomas.
Mr.. Riley read affidavit setting FORTH
briefly, the forcible rescue Of the prisoner on Sa
turday; and he also included in his answer the
more extended affidavit which he caused to be
published ON Monday last.
3. Z. Scwall rose and protested against placing
thc last named deposition on file.

proposed. II is also suggested to pass law in re-
gard to the duties of commissioners of deeds

urgently recommended.
A general reduction Of the salaries of State off,
Is suggested. and also reduction Of tho fccs
of clerks, recorders, and other officers. The no.
ccssty of cheap and speedy justice is insisted on.
The necessity of passing an act prescribing the
duties Of superintendcnts Of public instruction is
pointed out; and in this come cxion the grant by
Congress of all swamp and overflowed public lands

act the Governor considers that the State is in vir

From Harper's Maya
The sabbath Of the Golfers.

Those who have risen early on a Sabbath morning in
the country, and experienced The solemn stiffness and
something of the religious fervor with which they came
warm from the heart OF the author:
How calm comes on this holy day
Morning uniolds the eastern sky,
And upward takes her lofty way,
Triumphant To her throne on high.
Earth glorious wakes as DER her breast
The Morning filings her rosy ray,
And blusbng from her drcamess rest
Unveils her to the gaze of day
So still the scene, each wskeful sound
Seems haowed music breathing round
"The night-wnds to ,heir mountain caves,
The morning mist to heavens blue steep,
And to their ocean depths the waves
Are gone, their holy rest to keeps
It's Tranquil all around, above
The forests far which bound the scene
Are peaceful as their Makers love,
Like hills OF everlasting green;
And clouds like earthly barriers stsnd,
Or bulwarks Of some viewless land"

From Texas.

We find late advices from Texas
in the New Orleans papers.
The indians are extending their
depredations in all directions. The
Western Texan, published at San An
tonic; says:
We learn from Mr. Mensfnbach, G.
Bomanche Spring, that nearly all the
horses in that neighborhood were sto-
len by the Indians some eight days
since Animals had previously been
taken from other settlers oh the road
TO Fredericksburg, and some ten hor-
ses have been stolen from the detach-
ment Of Capt McCowan's company,
the sentinel who was guarding them
having been killed.
The citizens of Bexar have adj
dressed a letter to Gen. Brooke, com
plaining bitterly of the w ongs, in
Hicted upon them by the Indians
since the treaty Of peace, and also
&C mplaining Of the neglect with which
they are treated by the General Gov
eminent.
A bridge across the Ga udaloupe,
lat Victoria, has been com pleted.-
the bridge is what is called amodern
suspension, and is 25o feet long.
The immigration into Texas isvery
heavy. The Vic toria Advocate says.
We learn from friend now trav-
cling over the Brazos country, that
the immigration into that part Of
Texas is very heavy. The Irish En-
igration Company have purchased
large tracts of land in NIilalh county,
and are now settling thcrel Lands
the re are selling rapidly, alEd at very
high prices. Provisions not only com
mand high price, but are d xceeding-
" scarce, and it is thought that many
persons will be unable I'd procure
corn enough to make bread.

The Debt Of Virginia.

The last Richmond Enquirer con-
tains a statement of the debt of Vr-
ginia, and the various works of In
ternal improvement in which the
State has invested money. Accord
ing to this statement, the total debt
liabilities and guarantees, amount to
.S1S,459,951. The total of resour-
ces of every description is S13,l12,-
$50 OIL The portion of available
resources which constitutes fair off
set to a. portion of the debt is ST.
2l2,773 As, leaving the net debt OF
the State $l1,247,078 80; or, ex-
elusive of her liability as guarantor,
S7,299,104 81. This statement is
doubtless correct; but it must be
borne in mind that many items which
stand to the debit of the State con-
sist of su descriptions to works which
have neve II been called for, and which
most probably never will be called
for, the re uisite amount not having
been subscribed by persons other
than the State. AS to the bonds
guaranteed by the State, they can
hardly be called liability, for she
has taken security sufficient to re-
imburse her for any loss she may
sustain as guarantor.

Foreign News--Arriyal Of tAe Pa
cific-- Late from Europe.
@ffSiA

Cilic---Liie from Europe,
'ENGLAND.-The most i'm ,ortant
political news by this arrival is the
resignation of the British Ministry;
the course Of the Ministry upon the
Catholic question, probably led to
this result, though the immediate
cause of the catastrophe was the de-
feat Of the Ministry, by a vote Of ten
to one, on the motion in regard to the
franchise question, which took place
on Thursday evening, and on Friday,
when the budget Of the chancellor OF
the exchequer was called up. Lord
John Russell asked that it might be
postponed till Monday, declining to
give his reasons for this request
Soon after, the resignation Of the
Ministry, was announced as follows:
The budget has been withdrawn,
and it is reported confdentially,
about the houses Of parliament, that
the Chancellor of the exehequer has
resigned, and that Lord John Russell
has rendered his resignation, and that
Sir John Graham has been sent for.
The greatest excitement prevails,
and rumors announces all kinds OF
dubious reports. The event hap
Ipened too short a time before the sail
ing of the Pacific to afford specula-
tons to be formed as to who the Min
Iistry will be. The Times, in announ-
cling the fact, says: sLord John Rus
sell has rendered his resignation to
Her Majesty, and only holds the OF
flee till another Government can be
formed. The extensive loss of par
liamentary confidence, OF rather par
liamentary sympathy, viii chHis Lo I'd
ship and colleagues haT e evidently
suffered of late, has probably pre-
pared most Of our readers for this re-
suit. P
| RussIA.--The Hamburg correspon-
dent of the Times asserts, on the au-
thor ty Of travellers who have lately
pass ed through Poland, that an enor
nous Russian army has been con
centrated in an imposing and mena
cling position in Poland. Rumors o
an important expedition are freely
circulated amongvarious corps Of thai
army.

The NULLIFYING STATE Law OF

The NULLIFYING STAT E Law OF
lS47.-On Friday last, the follow
ing proceedings to ok place in the
Pen nsyIvania Sena tie.
Mr.. Guerns ey, rom the commits
tee on the Judiciary, reported with
a re recommendation that it be mega
tive d, the bill to repeal certain
par IS Of the act Of 1916, for the
pre- Fention of kidna piping, &c.
MIR. Muhlenberg moved that the
Senate proceed to the considera-
tion OF the bill just reported
On this motion the yeas and
nays were called, and resulted as
follows: yeas l6, nays l ri-names
omitted.
This is considered a test vote
and looked upon as defeat of the
measure. The Pennsylvania adds
that every vote e Ncept one, who
voted in the affirm alive, were Dem
ocrats; and all, say E one, who yo ted
in the negative e, were Wings.
What have our Whig neighbors
to say to this?
