suable by the clerk upon IN anluaste VI Precipae.
Nor may it work so much injustice by merely
the action of party Tor time, as
the other writs, which In their nature sweep
from him his secured lien Upon the writ OF
attachment the officer attaches goods and retains
them in possession to satisfy the plaintiff de-
mand, or delivers them to the defendant on his
bond. Upon an execution the officer makes sale
upon replevin he delivers the goods to the
plaintiff on his giving bond for a return or the
value with damages, without any judgment OF a
court on the question of title or any inqusltion
by the officer, or writ de proprietata probanda.
The party or person obtaining possession by
process of law has the legal possession. The
possession of the party served with the process
is transferred to him and the security Of the
original plaintiff in the goods is gone. Lowry

The tendency Of replevin in State Court
to settle the right of property in vessel is
bar to libel in the admiralty to settle the same
right between the same parties; not technically

The governments of the United States and of
the several States are sovereign and independ-
ent within their respective limits as prescribed
in their several constitutions. Equally so are
the courts of the respective governments indie
pendent of each other. One court has no pow
or to supervise, or enjoin, or interfere with the
proceedings in the other, excepting where au-
thorized in pursuance of provisions contained in
the constitution of the United States; in cases
of decisions in state courts against the constitu-
ton, or treaty, or law or authority, or officer
of the United States; and in the removal ofcau-
SEES to the circuit courts or district courts having
circuit court powers, by aliens or nonresident
defendants, and where citizens of the same
state claim lands under q grant from another
state.
have investigated this case sufficiently to
satisfy my mind, that this court has no jurisdic-
ton in admiralty; and that if it had, this vessel
being previously attached by the Sheriff of Ra-
cine county and in the custody of the law, could
not be subsequently attached by the Marshal.
1t is thereupon ordered, that this libel be dis
missed, and that the Marshal return this vessel
to the possession of the Sheriff of Racine
County.
ANOTHER SPEECH FROM THE STAGE.-Mr e.
Forest performed Damon, at the Walnut street
Theatre, Philadelphia, on Monday evening. At
the end of the last act being called before the
curtain, he sopke as follows =
How can thank you ladies and gentlemen,
said he, for that welcome! And such welcome
For the array Of beauty and this mighty throng!
TO be thus welcomed back to the home of my
youth, by the friends of my youth-by those
who saw my first foot prints in the arena ofmy
profession, and who lured me on by their inspi-
ing smles-by those who stood by me in the
struggles Of my boyhood, and who did not de-
sert me in the severer and darker struggles of
my manhood. OF such a welcome any man in
any condition of life might well be proud; and
1 ana proud oft, because it is the vindication of
my character by those who know me best, from
the base assertions and purchased perjuries OF
my enemies.
But begun the question--how am to thank
YOU for the brilliant and enthusiastic welcome
you have given me tonight? That question
still remains unanswered, and must forever re-
main so for my tongue can never make the re-
sponse But believe me, ladies and gentlemen
this heart eloquenty though silently, will for
ever acknowledge its indebtedness.
ROBBERY BY CHLoRoFoRM.-There is little
doubt that the use Of Chloroform as means OF
committing robbery, is becoming common;
garing instance of it occurred few days since
in this city, in the robbery of Keveny q Collins
clothing store, and we find the following in the

ming, between the hours of 2 and o'clock, while
three men by the names of Richard Leavitt Jo-
siah Paul and Bland French were asleep on
board the brig Ellis, lying at Pier No. 10 East
River, some daring rogue or rogues forcibly en-
tered the cabin of said vessel The above indi
viduals were observed lying in their berths fast
asleep, whereupon the villains applied vial OF
Chioroform to the nostrs of each person for q
sufficient length of time to allow them to inhale
the requisite quantity of said drug which had
the desired effect, and when the victims of these
ingenious robbers awoke, they discovered the
cabin had been ransacked and plundered of q
valuable gold watch and chain, all their wearing
apparel, and wallets, containing about 800 in
bank bilfs, with which the rascals made their es
cape, and have not since been heard Of"
TELEGRAPH IMPRovEMENT.-The man who

to have been only little ahead of the times
