RemItting Money by Mail.

a very important case has recently
come before the u. s. district court at
Richmond, Va, chief-justiee Taney pre-
siding, ir which the question arose
whether money RENTED by mail from a
debtor to a creditor, such money being
lost before IT reached its destination was
a release Of the debtor from obligations
Of the debt. The chief Justice decided
that the plaintiff having requested his
debtor to remit the money, without spec
flying or directing how il was to be sent
and the defendant having complied with
the request by remitting through the
mail, as was the custom with others Ia
do, the debtor would not be held Obliged
to make good the loss. The decision
Is in conflict with other cases involving
the same principle, the chlef-justice
holding that the former decisions were
not correct.

The pother raised against this struc-
ture, by parties at Pittsbnrg, is about
at an end. The late motion in the u.
s. Supreme Court to have the decree
against the bridge fully executed, in
contempt of the act of Congress
declaring the bridge post-route,
has been dismissed for want Of prose-
cutors. Thus Pennsylvania yields to
the public sentiment Of the nation, and
the Wheeling bridge will stand. This
will probably be the last Of the foolish
proceeding.
The Two Hosrs.-The two armies,
now in hostile array on the banks oi
the Danube, are thus described in a

army is badly fed, worse clothed, and
wretchedly drilled. The Turks con-
tinue to be christians. courteous, just,
and generous, and their army huddled

GUS elements as il is, is ardent, obedi.

been enacted-that she had either COM

them that she still breathed. No time
