MARYLAND JuDicIARY.--We learn from the
Baltimore Patriot that there is a widespread and
almost universal dissatisfaction at most Of the
nominations made recently by the Democratic Ju-
dietary Convention. The Patriot says:
s'The choice Of Judge Legrand for the court of
appeals, and Judge Frick for the superior court, is
acquiesced in as respectable and proper, but with
these, and perhaps one or two other exceptions,
the dissatisfaction seems to be, as we have said,
universal. There is general a concession upon
this subject, that it ia unnecessary to support the
statement by particular reference to the indi
viduals.
I'VE are gratfied to find that the whole COM
munty, Democrats and Wings, manifest the plain
est and most open objections to the attempt now
made, by party nominations, to place unworthy or
incompetent persons in judicial stations. 1t is for
that whole community, Whig and Democratic,
to unite together, and, regardless of all party
objects, protect themselves against the train of
intolerable evils which must follow the election
of incompetent judiciary. We think we
answer for the Wings that, for such a
purpose, they willing to lay aside every thought
of mere party ascendancy and join heart and hand
in an effort to redeem and save society from the
greatest misfortune that can be inflicted upon it,
The Whig Convention, which will assemble on
"Wednesday next, partakes, we arc sure, of the
same patriotic and liberal epirt, and will be ready
to adopt any course that may be necessary to Sc
cure the united and conservative action of all good
men, OF all parties, in crisis of much import
ance to the public welfare"

A GENEROUS ENGLIsHMAN.-Our countryman,
Mr. Charles L. Brace, in letter to the editor of

my acquaintances, not word or act of mine is ad,

u. S. SURVEYORS KILLED BY ToRNADo The

TREE-PLANTINa.-Horac Greeley, in a late let
ter descriptive of Lombardy in Italy, makes the fol-
lowing sensible suggestions in regard to the plant
ing of forest trees:
"As to tree e-planting, there can be no excuse for
negecting it, for no man needs his neighbor's CO.
operation TO render il economical or effective. We
in America have been recklessly destroying trees
quite long enough; it is high time that we be-
gan systematically to reproduce them. There is
scarcely a farm of fifty acres or over in any but
the very newest States that might not be increased
in value $1,000 by 500 judiciously expended in
tree planting, and little to protect the young
trees from premature destruction. All roadsides,
steep hlsides, rayines and rocky places should he
planted with oak hickory, chestnut, pine, locust,
&c, at once, and many farm would, after few
years, yield s 100 worth of timber annually, with
out extracting $40 from the crops otherwise de-
pended on. By planting locust, or some other
fast growing tree alternately with oak, hickory,
SC, the former would be ready for use sale by
the time the latter needed tho whole ground.
Utility, beauty, comfort profit, all combine TO urgo
immediate and extensive tree planting; shall II not
be commenced ~

The D'ARUsMoNT CAsE.-After q continuation
of six days Judge Tilden concluded his elaborate
and ingenious argument in this interesting case
on Saturday morning last In the course Of the
argument he stated (and we only give it the au-
thority of adverse counsel) that the real cause
which led to the separation of the parties in this
suit was that Mira D'Arusmont had attempted to
SO educate and mould the character of the daughter
that she might in her future career carry out the
prospects of her illustrious mother. This, it was
stated, repugnant to the feelings and senti-
ments of the daughter and husband, and was the
prominent cause of the difficulties with Mrs.
D'Arusmont, and subsequent divorce, which was
granted in Tennessee. 1t appeared by the admis-
of the defence that the twenty of land in
the vicinity of this city, and which was reduced to
the possession of MIR. D'Arusmont, is now valued
at fifty or sixty thousand dollars We only refer
these in passing interesting points occurring
in the course of this argument.
Yesterday morning Judge Walker occupied the
attention OF the court in behalf of the petitioner He
took the ground that this suit not suit for
alimony generally, but for allowance pe,derte
lite. He also replied with great force to the charges
of the opposite counsel that Mrs. D'Arusmont was
fugitive wife, having fled from the domici of her
husband. He claimed that this estate now in con-
test was valued at one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
The case presents many interesting features of
personal ntereat relating to Of the most extra
ordinary women of the age, as well profound le-
gal questions, which have been argued with great
ability by counsel possessing the first talents al
the bar. Mr.. William Y. Gholson opened the case
for the plaintiff, Judge Tiden replied, and Judge
Walker, on the part Of the petitioner, closed the
argument. All of the arguments were alike dis
tinguished for profound research and Legal acu-
men. The hearing has been had before Judge War
den sitting chancellor, The decision will be
given on or before Monday next.

VESSELS LrsELLEp roR VIOLATION OF THE Pas
sENaER LAw.-The packet-shps st. George and
Devonshire from Liverpool, at New York, and the
ships Athens and Living Age, from Liverpool, brig
Falcon, from Wexford, Ireland, and ships Martha,
Goethe, Adler, and brig Arion, from Bremen, at
Baltimore, have been libeled by the Government
officers fJr non compliance with the law regulating
the carrying of passengers. The law provides that
every vessel carrying passengers shall have sepa
rate birth for each passenger, failing in which the
master owner is fnable $5 for every passenger
on board. The number of passengers allowed is
two to every five tons measurement, and for every
passenger over this amount the ship shall be fined
$50. Each passengers berth must be Is inches

LOUISVILLE AND FRANKFORT RAILRoAD--Th re-

nearly ten per cent. Owing to several accidents
that occurred during july four or five trips were
lost, which fact probably made diminution OF
several hundred dollars in the receipts. The freight
receipts, 1t is estimated, will hereafter be as large
as the receipts from passengers The total receipts
will probably in future reach $4,000 or 800 600

EXECUTION OF THE CosDEN MuRnRRERs-We
learn by the passengers in the steamer Cecil which
came up last night, that the execution of Taylor
Murphy, and Sheldon, the parties convicted of the
horrible murder of the Cosden family took place
yesterday in the vicinity of Chestertown between
eleven and twelve O'Clock. The expectation that
confession would be made by the condemned men
previous to their execution was not verified The
whole three were placed on the scaffold at once and
after the religious services had concluded, Murphy
and laylor successfully addressed the spectators
and declared their innocence of the crime of which
they had been convicted, and asserted that their
lives had been sworn away. Taylor not only as
serted his innocence but declared that he had not
seen Murphy for five years until he met him in iail
and that he had no previous knowledge of Sheldon ;
The latter, who appeared much more depressed
than ms companions, made remarks; neither
conesslng nor denying his guilt. Both TAYLOR and
Murphy, we understand, exhibited a great degree
of fortitude.
1t was intended to have hung the whole three
together, but when the trap fell from some 3isar-
rangernent OF the rope, the moose around Murphy'a
neck slpped, and he fell to the ground. Though
considerably stunned, and his neck lacerated by
the rope, the unfortunate man soon recovered his
consciousness, and whilst in this awful situation
with the partners of his guilt hanging before his
eyes, he perslsted in declaring his Innocence and
aihrmed repeatedly that they were taking the life
OF an innocent man. After the bodies of Sheldon
and Taylor had hung sufficient time they were
taken down, and Murphy again mounted the scaf-
ioid and endured 1.-the penalty of the law.
The painful spectacle was witnessed by an inn
mense concourse of persons who had assembled
from all parts Of the surrounding country. Tho
prisoners were attended by clergymen from the
vicinity, with whom they engaged in religious
SERVICES Tor several hours previous to the execution

WHITE BLAcKBERRrEs.--Th Springfield Repvb-
iican in alluding TO the letter of correspondent OF
the Boston Journal, in relation to white blackber-
ries, says that 1t is mistake to speak of the fruit
being new, it having been known among the hills
Of Franklin county, in this State, for many years.
The bushes are obtrinable there now in almost un
limited quantity, and grow wild with their colored
brethren. They are regarded as a sweeter and
better fruit than that Of the high bush blacLberrv
proper, grow TO greater size, and are preferable
Tor eating, from their not staining the teeth
