These bills, with the appealed criminal bust
ness, and that on the old docket, present quite
a mass of matter for the new County Attorney,
JOHN II. KENNEDY, Esq, who we doubt not,
will be fully adequate to any duties that may
devolve upon! him, in his new station.
Charles +. Barnes, of Portland, who was
indicted for a libel at the lastterm and default
ed, came into Court this term, and rendered
the Gusts of The scire .fadas process, and put
himself upon trial. 1t will be remembered
that he was convicted Of the same offence
that is to say, Of publishing the same libel-in
Kennebec recently, and that the matter was
carried up to the full bench on some law points.
He is also held to bail for his appearance from
day to day, to await sentence for violating the
law in relation to keeping gaming house.
The civil business is progressing fairly, but
it will require long term of the Court 20
make much inroad upon it.

Limiting the Liability Of Ship
Owners.

This bill, which was introduced by Mr..
Hamlin, and ordered to be engrossed in the
senate on Wednesday, was supported by Mr..
Rantoul, who replied to objections urged by
Messrs. Butler, Underwood and Badger
The bill does not apply to vessels engaged
in river navigation nor 10 vessels employed
in discharging or loading vessels. The first
section limits the liability for goods on board
design or negligence Of owners. The other
provisions are as follows:
Second section provides, that if any shipper
Of pIatina, gold, gold dust, bullion, or any
other precious metals, shall lade them on
board of any vessel, without at tie time Of
so doing given 10 the masters, agent, or
owner of such vessel note or description
in writing of the value and character of the
shipment, the masters and owners of the
vessel shall not be liable as carriers thereof.
in any form or manner, nor shall the liability
he fer beyond the value of goods so described.
Third Section provides that the liability for
embeZzement or destruction, or for loss bv
collision occurring without privity or con-
sent Of owners, shall NOT exceed the amount
or value of interest Of such owners, respec-
lively, in such ship or vessel, and her freight
Then pending.
Section -Four provides for mode of recover
ing from owners the damages sustained by
shippers.
Section Firc provides that The charieIer of
the vessel, in case he shall man, vicrual, and
navigate The vessel at his own expense, or

of such vessel within the meaning of this
act.
Section Sir provides that The law shall not
be construed to take away or effect reme
DIV on account of any embezzlement, injury
or loss on account of negligence, fraud, or
other malversaIion of the master, officers or
marines.
Section Scren provides that any one ship
ping vilriol, GnsIacked lime, inflammable
matches, gunpowder, in ship taking cargo
for divers persons as freight, without deliver
ing at the time of shipmenti description Of
the same to thu master, mate, or the person
in charge of the lading ofthe ship or vessel,
shall forfeit to The United States $1,000.
The WRECK OF THE OLD MONSTER. The
State of Pennsylvania has obtained verdict
against the defunct Bank of the United states
for the sum of 81 300, 900, being the bonus and
interest corruptly agreed to be paid for the char
ter. The case is to be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Pennsylvania claims
priority over ordinary creditors, instead of per-
hitting what little remains of the wreck of the
institution to be divided equally among its nu-
merous creditors, which embrace many widows
and orphans.

City Election.

The result of the municipal election in this
city or Monday, we publish below. No nom
mating caucuses were held other than those of
the wings. Democratic tickets were, however,
prepared for several wards, and three members
of the board of Aldermen, eight of the Com
mon Council, and three constables chosen. In
wards three and six the democratic ticket was
elected entire. The candidates for the office
of mayor were all wings, and we know of no
particular question at issue but choice Of

The Next Presidency.

Considering the fact that something over a
year will elapse before the people will be call
ed upon to nominate candidates for the Presi-
dency of the United States, it seems TO US 10 be
premature to begin to discuss the claims or
availability of the different prominent states
men from whom the selections will probably
be made-yet some ofthe press of either party
not only out of the State, but within it
have intlmated their preferences.
The old Portland Advertiser has pledged
the support of the 'chiS party to some "grcat
unknown" candidate, and in this discovers
more wisdom than it manifested in the last
campaign, when it made such sorry work in
coming round to the support of the man that il
had DETAINED, and to prevent whose nomination
1t LAID out so much strength. The Tayorites
are doing their utmost 10 force Gen. Scott ID

Especially here in Maine,) it is quite probable
that they will succeed in coming the 'possum''
over their old Hunker brethren. who are evil
IDENTIFY dissatisfied with Scott, and determined
TO get him out Of the way. According to the
wing correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, the
to make him Lieutenant General is
only plan to effect this.
While some of our democratic brethren of
the press have foreshadowed their preferences,
for Gen. Cass, we see by the last Augusta
Age, that its editor his declared for Samuel
Houston. Without expressing, at this time,
our preferences, we would take the liberty of
the improperly of bargaining away
