FANEUIL HALL.-The city solicitor Of Boston
has given long opinion relative to this hall.
He comes to the conclusion that the geneal GUS
tody of Faneuil Hall, like all the other public
buildings of the city, is in the hands Of the
joint standing committee of the two Boards on
public buildings; but that the mayor and alder
men have the right, subject to the general con-

THE VAssAL CASE, involving the title to a
large tract of country in Maine, has been de-
cided in the circuit court, Judge Woodbury. pre-
siding, for the defendant--the holders Of the
land. The nominal plaintiff is an Englishman,
a great grandson of Florentine Vassal, under
whose will he claims. The defendants hold by
right of possession, undisputed for much

THE CoTToN CRoP.-The Savannah Repubh-
can has information from the interior of Geor-
gia, that the prospects of the cotton crop are
by no means fattering. The cold weather has
kept the plant from coming up, and conse
quenty the stand is poor one. In no partic
ular is the prospect so good as ii was at this
time last year. 1t will require favorable sea-
sons and a late fall to make so large a crop as
the last.

DISTRESSING CAsE.-The Cincinnati Gazette
gives the particulars of distressing accident
that happened at Washington to the daughter
of Mr.. VIM d. Gallagher formerly an assistant
editor of that paper. The young lady was eI-
ercising with a ball on the Capitol grounds
about the first of April, and in running after
the ball she slipped on an iron grating over a
window ut the east front of the Capitol, her
foot passed between the bars, and her limb
passed down to above the knee. She was ex-
| tricated and went home. There was no APP
| pearance Of severe external wound, and no
bone was broken or dislocated, but she COM
planned of excruciating pain. Medical aid was
called, and she soon sank, and continued to be
in lethargic, almost nsensible state, with her
eyes closed, for about thirty days. taking only
| the weakest nourishment. In the mean time
the bruises, slight as they were the limb,
were healed yet her mind continued lethar-
gic-it even grew darker and darker. About
the first of May the physician gave up all hope
of restoring her mind, and recommended her
removal to the hospital at Baltimore, where
she was taken on the 9th instant, the father
remaining to watch the effect of change, end
perhaps to witness the sad, the closing scene

LOYALTY OF THE CUBANs.-The consciousness
of being suspected is said to render some men
dishonest. If such be the general effect, the
Spanish authorities in this island cannot fail to
estrange the affections and confidence of the
people. The New York San remarks:
We see great deal in certain journals about
the loyalty of the Cuban people How very
loyal they are may be inferred from the follow
ing, fact. In q late number of the Gaceta de
Habana, we observe published an ordinance of
the Captain General, explaining, and supple
mentary to the law prohibiting the carrying of
weapons. The new ordinance not only enforces
the old law, but prohibits the Cubans from car
rying or using any thing having even the SEM
blance of a weapon, under the penalty Of sir
gears Imprisonment at hard labor. The enumera-
ton of the prohibited weapons thus concludes /:
" Y por uitimo todo cuchtllo de punta chica 0
grande, unique sea de cocina de n,oda de fattri-
guerra" Which means % And lastly, all man
ner of knives with sharp ends, whether large or
small, and whether they be ktchen-knives or
pocket-knives." .at
If the Cubans are the tever faithful =
"loyaF' people that Spanish and American
journals represent them to be, we think it would
| be only prudent in the Captain General to arm
them, instead of disarming them, at the present
time, when the island is threatened by those
terrible "pirates and robbers" Surely Gen.
Concha does not fear that, if the Cubans were
allowed to carry pocket knives, they would cut
their own fingers with them. Probably his
next ordinance will be to appoint ail-dressers,
to clip and cut the finger r-nails Of the Cuban
people, 50 that they may not grow so long as to
be dangerous to the eyes of the defenders o.
the government. What fatherly care Conchi
exercises over the "happy' people of the "evel
faithful" Cuba, when he fears to entrust then
with the use of "pocket-knives." What woulc
Yankee boys think of being subjected to sucl
| treatment?
