CONSPIRACY CASE.
Court of General Sessions .MOSOA,

Before the Recorder and Aid. Franklin and Concklin
SENTENCE OF NILES AND ROBERTS.
These prisoners, who were convicted at the
December Term of obtaining $4,000 from Mr.
Henry Havens by false pretenses, were this morn
ing called out for sentence. Long before the
members of the Court arrived the Court room was
crowded to overlooking with persons from all
classes in society. The prisoners were brought
into Court a little before IL o'clock. Niles looked
exceedingly depressed, while Roberts wore his
usual smile. The Recorder addressed Niles at
length, abiding to the enormity OF the offense OF
which he had been convicted. He spoke OF his
education, his position in life, his young family
and all the circumstances which surrounded
the prisoner, and which ought naturally to have
prevented his engaging in practices OF an illegal
municipalities which connect him with per-
son of vile character-a prostitute.
His Honor then dwelt on the devastation pro-
duced in the family of Mr.. Ravens. an old and re-
spectacle citizen, whose wife had been so bowed
down by the stigma brought upon her husband,
that she was no longer living. She had been
called to another world since the commencement
of this trial The duty, said the Recorder, which
| am now about to perform ia an exceedingly pain
ful one, but the law must be indicated The
sentence of the Court is, that you be incarcerated
in the State prison at Sing Sing for years and
mOntuoi anu thhI 1Ou pay d hho VI S~,VVV, ouu
that you remain imprisoned until that fine be paid
Roberts was next addressed by the Recorder,
who said that his case was somewhat different
from that of Niles 1t had been said that your
conduct could be explained. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that such explanation has not been made.
After a few more words addressed to the prisoner
the Court sentenced him to serve 80 days in the
City Prison and to pay fine of $3.50.
The officers then removed the prisoners, and 1t
was with the utmost difficulty that the COart
could through the aid Of its officers, preserve
silence. AS soon as the prisoners were removed
the crowd dispersed and the ordinary business OF
the Court was resumed
Sentenced.-John II. Pittman, convicted last
week Of grand larceny was sentenced to the State
Prison for two years.
Plea Of GuiHy.-John Brown pleaded guilty to
a grand larceny, and was sent to the STATE Prison
for two years.
Convicted. John Henry was convicted of steal.
ing sovereigns from Henry Really at a house ia
James st. and was sent to the Pensentiary for six
months. Adjourned.

opportunity. The country which first con-
meets itself with Africa by a sufficient line
of steamships will inevitably gain posses
sion of this great and inviting trade. If we
do not do it at once England will be ahead
of US.
Nor should've forget the many consid-
erations urging to this enterprise other than
those of commercial nature. We are per-
suaded that nothing which we could now do
would tend so powerfully to the suppress
sion of thesSlave Trade and the civiliza-
ton of Africa. There are universal ends
whose importance in the career of the hu-
man race cannot be over estimated. This
nation can we'll afford to make serious and
efficient effort toward their realization.

IIIInOIs-GovernOr,s nIessage.

Gov. KINGS message was presented to the
Missouri Legislature on the Sd inst. Ii is doc
ment of awful length. After the cut and died ex.
pressions Of gratitude to Providence, the Gov.
looks into the finances The State is doing well
On the LIST October, 1850, there was in the Trea.
sury tie sum Of s4ss,l94 SIS. But the revenue
for the two years ending October l. 1850. was
s59O,735 90 and it is estimated that the reve-
nue. for the next two years, if there be no change
in the present laws will not fall short OF $3.50 800
The amount of taxable property in the State
is set down at s79456547 81 Of which the
assessed value of lands is s3l, 5l2,391 II; Of
town lots, s22, AL, 46s Of slaves, sl7772 $50 !;
and other personal property s7.73l,5O co.
The State now owes the Bank sl24,O26 H.
The separation of the State from the Bank is re-
commended, the State selling out its interest and
withdrawing the investment in the Banks stock
of the Literature and Common School funds, the
charter to be extended, s2,5OO,0OO Of private
stock to be allowed, the State reserriHg, but not
using the other 60 100000 authorized by the Con
stitution The State debt is $3.50, 26l, but from
this two sums are to be taken, which will reduce
it to S922, pol 40 and from this may also be de-
Quoted s272,263 80, amount OF State stock in the
Bank. During the year 1851, s265,26l Ofdebt
falls due, and this has to be provided for by the
Legislature. The Governor proposes that if the
revenue be not sufficient, the University funds
shall be withdrawn from the Bank, and used for
the purpose, the State paying interest thereon.
The Governor argues strongly for Homestead
Exemption; asks $4,000 more for the Lunatic

New Year's BRlls-DefalcatiOn-D isunIOn.
MOBILE, Thursday Jan. 2
To he Editors Of The Tribune.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year
have passed in gayety, brillisncy, sleet, rain and
hail. The Cowbellions, a Society of twenty
years standing, composed of no one knows whom,
and coming from no one knows where, always
appearing in masks and representing some by
gone scene held their annual ball on New Years
Eve at the Theater, to which a house fall of
ladies and gentlemen had free tickets; the scene
was "lst OF May in Merry England" as long ago
as she was Merry England-the ladies "triped
the light fantastic toe" as gracefully and freely
with "the unknown" as with the familiars, "and
all went merrily as marriage bell"
The Strikers, an imitation or branch of the
above also had their annual ball at the Alhambra
they masked themselves in goats heads and
carried badges OF their different trades or occu-
pations they looked neat and even gaudy, bat
thrusting such ugly noses into ladies' faces,
thought quite ibred and ungentlemaRly; the
ladies' seemed satisfied and even pleased who
else has any thing TO say in the matter1
The deialcatlon Of Rufus Green, Secretary of
the Firemens' Insurance Co iti said will not be
much short of $4,000. He has always stood
high here as a gentleman and Christiau-was an
elder in the Church, and first among the Masons
IN the State.
The DlsUnlOnists are more calm and cousiderate
than they have been, and men ask one another
jOkingy, II they are sound on the Southern auea-
tion, but little is said about il seriously now

undertook to throw Horace Mann over
board. But the Free Sellers who have
inst voted for Boutwell,, Cushman and
Rantoul-none of them even pretending to
be Free Soilers-iR order to make Charles
Sumner L. S. Senator, cannot plauslbly
pretend after this not to see how sincere
Free Soiler could vote for Gen. Taylor.
They have acted I'VE think wisely on the
very principle SO vehemently denounced
by them of doing evil that good may come
-ofsecuring what good they might rather
than lose everything by insisting on hav-
ing everything. We trust they will be
less bigoted and more charitable hereafter.

North CaroIinn-rhe New Governor.


Gov. REID of North Carolina delivered his In.
augural Address before the General Assembly on
the LIST inst. He thinks the North threatens the
Union. g. solemn sense of public duty impels
him to declare, that the entertainments Of the
North on the domestic institutions of the South
have already proceeded to the furthest allowable
point" Accordingly he proposes to let the North
know that it must stop, and that North Carolina
won't stand it any more, because she knows her
rights, and knowing dare maintain them, then /" if
the awful calamity must come-whch God for
bid let the consequences fall upon those whose
madness and folly have provoked it."
After this fustian the Governor comes to bust
ness He proposes more stringent regulations to
prevent slaves from running away ajudicious
system of Internal Improvements would also be
e first rate thing Education must be cared for,
and the agitation against the long-trie plan of
distributing the School Money according to Fed
eral population had better stop the suffrage
ought to be extended, so that there shall be no
distinction between voters for members OF the
Senate and House of Commons, aud the change
can be made better by the Legislature than by a
Convention Judges and Justices Of the Peace
ought to be chosen by the People; finally the
Governor will ever lend hand to promote the
public welfare.
