CHARLES COUNTY CoURT.-The July
term of this Court was unexpectedly brought
to close yesterday, by adjourning it over
until the third Monday in November next.
This was done a. the reques. Of some of the
members of the Bar, and upon the recon-
mendalion of the Grand and Petit Jurors, or
a majority Of them, Judge GRAIN having re-
lerred the motion to their consideration.
The general impression in the early part of
last week seemed TO be that there was but
little business before Court, and we were so
informed; this however proved to be mis-
take, as Judge GRAIN has since informed us
there was quite large civil docket for trial.
Upon the criminal docke. nothing worthy
of note appears.

PoRTsMoUTH, Va, July %, 1851.
Mr.. EDITOR: Since my communication of the
10Th instant nothing particularly interesting has
occurred, except the examination of one of the
merchants, who mentioned as being engaged in
purchasing copper stolen from the Government
before the Hastings or Magistrates Court, when,
after the examination of numerous witnesses, and
most able arguments by counsel on both sides, the
court required him to give bail in $1,000 for his ap-
pearance at the next term of the Superior Court
One of these offenders having smelt the rat, has
ran,oused to parts unknown. He was no doubt the
principal perpetrator of this most disgraceful
breach of honesty, and would have received the
severest penalty of the law.
The farmers Of old Charles seem to be aroused
from their lethargy, and they give evidence of
spirit for improvement that cannot fail to be ap-
preciated abroad.
Immediately in the vicinity of this place the
lands are divided into small garden farms, which
arc kept in high state of improvement. On one
of these farms vegetables are raised for this and
the northern markets. | have known the owner
of one of these garden spots to realize IN one sea-
son $4,000, selling peas and cucumbers alone. 1t
is really astonishing to see the number OF barrels,
boxes and baskets of vegetables that are sent daily
to Baltimore and elsewhere from our wharves.-
But cannot say much for the credit or skill of
the farmers of the interior Of the county. With
4 few exceptions, the lands seem to be under no
progress of improvement whatever, although there
is not a more industrious people than the agricu-
turists of lower Virginia. Yet they lack that
pride for improvement for which the farmers in
The upper part of the State well known. Del
wing in the same fields year after year, they wear
out the productive qualities of their soil to no ad-
vantage, never thinking that it may be exhausted
as well as the strength Of those who till it.
How stands the Thermometer in the valley of
old Port Tobacco? If it comes under $50 you
have pleasant temperature compared with ours;
the range of temperature here has been from $50
to 1920 in the shade, although our streets amp
" wide, besides having the benefit of the sea
breeze. But Old Point Comfort presents plea
SAINT retreat; and would recommend to any per-
sons in old Charles, who wish to spend few weeks
in nought but pleasure and enjoyment, just to pay
q visit TO that most delightful watering place,
where every attraction is presented the visitor-a
polite and gentlemanly proprietor, attentive ser
wants. an abundance of fresh fish of every descrp

IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE New
CoNsTITUTIoN.-In Ilagersown,a few days
ago, man was arrested for debt and refus-
ing to give bail for his appearance to answer,
the constable detained him in CUSTODY
Having procured writ Of ha6eas corpus
from Judge Weisel, of Washington County
Court, he demanded to be discharged under
the non imprisonment clause of the new
Constitution. After hearing counsel on both
sides, the Judge remanded the petitioner in
TO the custody of the officer. The point
was well argued by Z. S. CLAGGErr, Esq,
who appeared for the petitioner, and r. II.
ALVEY, Esq who appeared for the creditor.
The Herald Of Freedom says
The points relied upon by the Court were
the Sd article of the Declaration Of Rights,
