JERSEY CRY BANK RODBERY-CAsK OF CATHA-
RINE kESSEDy.-In the case of Catharine Kennedy,
brought before the Chief Justice by virtue of writ
of habeas corpus, in order to obtain her discharge
from imprisonment charge Of being accessory to
the robbery of bank in Jersey City, the motion for
her absolute discharge, without bail has been denied
The grounds of the decision are, that the Justice
acted within his Jurisdiction that the warrant Of
commitment is regular and legal; that It contains
upon its face probable cause for the detention OF
The prisoner and that the magistrate by whom the
warrant was issued, took proof before issuing it,
which he adjudged to be sufficient to warrant the
commitme nt Under these circumstances it is held
that upon habeas corpus the court will not decide
that the committing magistrate erred In adjudgng
the proof to be sufficient TO hold the prisoner to an
swer. Nor will the court anticipate the action Of the
Grand Jury. The decision is made without preju.

SINGULAR CASE OF DEATH.-On Saturday last
a young man, son Of Mr.. Bond, of the firm of Bond
Il 'Tidd, curriers', Wobun died; the circumstances
day last, while in his usual good health, he was
called to remove some hides from wagon; he had
a slight scratch upon his face, so slight as scarcely
to be noticeable, and during his work he incau-
tously touched the spot with his hands, Immediately
a redness was observed, swelling quickly succeeded,
and extended his face; although he had the best
of medical aid, the poison which he had received by
innocuation was too active and too powerful to yield
from the hides. This ia the third death which has
occurred in North W0burn within year, from a
similar cause.-Boston Chronicle, dug. 16.

The LATE Col. BLIss.-General Twiggs, on the
occasion Of the decease of Col. Bliss issued the fol-
lowing general orders:
WESTERN DIVISION,
East PaSca nnula Aunuaf & lQ63


East Pascagoula, August s, 1858.
The Major General Commanding, with deep regret,
announces to the division the death of Lieut.. Col W.
w. 8. Bliss Assistant Adjutant General, late Chief
Of the Division Staff and formerly the Chief of the
staff OF the Army Of Occupation In its arduous and
memorable campaign under Major. Gen. Taylor. On
the night of the 4th inst. he died, victim to the
prevailing deadly epidemic. A narrative of the
brilliant services of this lamented officer, would be
superAuous here. They are familiar as household
words to his comrades OF the army often on the lips
Of his fellow citizens, and craven on the records of
eventful periods of his country's history. In many
Official writings are preserved the evidences of a
mind, powerful, acute, and adorned with taste and
learning. OF blameless morals, upright and affec-
tomato in private life, he has, in zeal and devotion
to public duty, left an example still more worthy Of
emulation than the briliancy Of his fame. His en-
1ghtened exactness and attention, in even the
smallest duties of life, could only be equalled in
merit by the modesty and temperance which he dis.
played in the MONDAY of reputation and at the
height of success.
By order Of Major-Gen Twiggs.

that the huks Of two steamer the Madison and the

wide apart to allow room for the machinery to be

with an invasion from Canada. The arrangements

volunteered. Portland is to be taken the Esd; and
as il conscious Of their strength to overcome all re.
tsstance, the invaders have sent on committee to
notify the P0rtanders Of the intended incursi0n
Nay more: they have selected their camping ground
ON the shores of Casco Bay. But will our Yankee
friends permit such thing By no means. As
the invasion is not warllke one but trip Of plea

soldiers, but members of the Mechanics Institute,
every householder In Portland must for the honor Of
Yankeedom, protest against the encampment. Let
The invaders have taste OF Yankee hospitality that
they may return convinced not only that ours Is q
