New ORLEANS, April 6 M.-The
steamship Tennessee was totally lost
near San Francisco, on the 18th ult.,
by running ashore in fog.
She had 600 passengers aboard, all
Of whom were landed safe; not one
was lost OF either crew or passen-
gers. The mail was also landed safe.
Much anxiety is .elt in regard TO
the Vanderbilt steamer Independ-
ence, as nothing had been heard from
her, though she had been out thirty
days beyond her time. She had a
large number of passengers aboard.
The steamer Sea Bird was sent in
search oi her. She was to have
connected with steamer Northern
Light which left New York on the
2Oih January. She was last seen on
the 18th February off Cape Lucas
Hopes are entertained that she put in.
to some intermediate port.

VERMONT Lrouos LAw.-The Yer

VERMONT LIQUOR kAw.-Ihe YER
mont Liquor Law, says an exchange
has one singular provision, in which il
differs from those which have been en-
acted or discussed in other States. The
section we allude to is that which pro-
vides for the arrest ofa person found in
toxicated, and his detention until he
will disclose where he obtained his Ii.
quor. This section of the law is likely
to give considerable trouble. A case
under IT has already arisen in the town
of Woodstock. A man named Powers
was arrested for intoxication, and lodged
in Jail: On the examination he was
questioned as TO where he obtained the
liquor. He said he found IT under the
Universalist Church, and this is all the
answer he would give. II was no
deemed satisfactory by the justice, anf
Powers was re-committed. Another ex.
animation was had, with the same re.
suit, the man being remanded TO jail
The opinion of the Supreme Court has
been obtained, and the particular sec'
tion referred to is pronounced constitu
tional. Powers still refuses TO divulge
and the justice says he will keep him in
Jail for whole year unless he owns up

The Dauphin-More Light.

The New York Tribune has been
advised by one of the parties en-
gagged in this investigation that let
Ter has been received from a lady at
New Orleans, who states that she is
the person to whom Belanger made
his dying declaration in regard to
the Dauphin. She is well known TO
DR.. Hawkes., having been member
Of his church when he was settled
in New Orleans. She states that
she has in her possession a trunk
full of documents relating TO this
question, communications from the
royal family, &c, which sells the
matter entirely at rest, and proves
the Rev. Mr.. Williams TO be Dau-
phin, beyond cavil. An agent has
been sent TO New Orleans TO obtain
possession OF the documents. These
facts were stated 10 US by a gentle
man who has been closely connected
with this matter from The beginning,
and if they are facts, we hope the
documents will be hurried up as soon
as possible.

New CoDEs.--Among the most
important laws passed by the last
Legislature are the New Codes
But important as they are, the pub
lie is yet as ignorant OF the pro.
visions OF each and the changes pro-
posed, as if the Legislature had moi
spent thousands Of dollars talking
about printing and publishing the
laws. The Statesman says Of the
New Codes:
The Justices code. Probate code
together with the Civil code, go into
effect upon the lst Of July.
The Justices code repeals all the
old laws and defines the Justice:
duties anew.
The Probate code repeals all the
old laws regulating the practice o.
this Court; and embodIes its whole
power and duty. 1t takes away
from the Common Pleas, jurisdiction
in ali but penitentiary and capital
cases, with perhaps few other cases
and invests the Probate Judge there.
with. All riots, petty larceniesr
gambling, &C., are heneeforth within
its exclusive jurisdiction. The cases
are TO be presented by information
briefly setting forth the offence
without limit as to amendment.

The Tax LAw.--The principal
change made by the last winter:
session of the Legislature in the tax
law of last year, consists in reducing
the value of personal property
which any individual may hold free
of taxation from 5000 to $50. An
other change relates TO swearing 10
the value OF articles listed under the
7th item. The 7th item is as fol-
lows:
7th. The total value oi all other
articles of personal property which
such person is by this act required to
list:
Provided; That if such person
shall exhibit TO the assessor the ami
mails or other personal property
above enumerated, the value Of such
property so exhibited, may be omit
ted in such statement, and the asses
sor shall in such cases determine
their value without requiring the
oath OF the person making such
statement, as to the value thereof;
and such person shall in that case be
required only to make oath or af-
firmation to the value OF the re-
mainder of the personal property
which he is required to list.
This provision is similar TO the
rule which already exists in regard
to horses, cattle, hogs, &c. We be-
Iieve the above embrace all the ma
terial changes made in the law.

FIRE AT Pr. PLEAsANT.-About 10
O'Clock last Sunday night, a fire broke
out in the store OF Mr.. Franklin, al
Pt. Pleasant. When first discovered
it was too late to save anything
The store and dwelling house of Mr.
Franklin, both of which were in the
same building, were entirely con-
sumed, with the contents, as was also
the dwelling house of Mr.. Bickle, but
Mr.. B. succeeded in saving a part of
his furniture. Mr.. FraHklin's prop
erty was insured to the amount of
$4,000. He estimates his loss at
Sl,I00. Mr.. B., who is an industri-
Gus and good citizen, loses almost
everything he could call his own,
there being no insurance. He had
just finished his house, and would
have had it insured in a short time.

hart & Smith, Pt. Pleasant, last
Monday and will continue open for
thirty days.
We know of no point on the Ohio
river, in Virginia, more favorable for
the establishment Of a Bank than PIT.
Pleasant. There is a large extent OF
territory on both sides of the river
surrounding it, where the business is
almost entirely destitute of Banking
facilities. The Merchants and Me.
chanics' Bank has always had the
public confidence, and we sincerely
hope our neighbors at the Point will
succeed in securing this branch, with
a capital of at least 100000. The
business men OF Gallipolis cannot
feel Indifferent in this matter. The
Inconvenience they have suffered
heretofore should induce them TO
lend every aid in securing a Bank so
near them. But in order to secure
the advantages, it will be proper that
a certain amount of stock should be
taken here. We trust our business
men will not let the opportunity
pass. There is little prospect that
investment of capital in this way in
our own State will be permitted on
such terms as capitalists will accept
for years to come, and consequently
we must look elsewhere. Here is an
opportunity and let it be improved.
