with letter.
| am informed of singular decision rendered in
our City Court few days ago. 1t seems that case
came up before his honor, and one of the council
moved Tor postponement, to which the opposing
parties had no special objection. There were six
witnesses in attendance. A proposition was made
by the court to raise the question Of postponement
and put ii to the of the Witnesses To this all
parties assented, whcreupon was regularly
taken and carried in the airmative--fvc 10 one.
Thus the difficulty disposed of on the true De-
mocratic principle, ror popui. The wags about
town tell some funny things relative to this legal tr
bunal. Not long ago intricate and rather IIudi-
Drastic cause came before our worthy judge. The
question in dispute was argued deliberately by OPP
posing counsel, and finally referred to his honor for
consideration. After reference TO the books, and
deep research through the profound labyfinths of

The reply of Secretary Marcy to the Austrian Pre-.
test has formed theme of conversation To- day. All
speak of in the highest possible terms without dis
tinction Of party. Ii is decidedly an able firm
manly, powerful paper, putting our Government in
noble attitude. Chevalier Iiulseman is again tho
roughly used up. He had better pack up his KNAPP
sack or carpet bag and 60 home to the renowned
land of Iiaynau. With the drubbing that Daniel
Webster gave him, added to this from Secretary
Marcy, think he will have iolerable load to carry
back to Vienna, free even from bag and baggage.
