day. Nop. 2i.-This question was raised
in a case certified to the Supreme Court by
the Court of Magistrates, on warrant is
sued Oh complaint of Jabez J. Potter, Con-
stable, VS.. James Snow, charging sale
between the lst and lth days of No
vember, A. ID. 1854, and search warrant
on which quantity of liquors were seized.
The defendant was found guilty by the
Court OF Magistrates, and the case certified
to the Supreme Court under the act Of
January, A. ID. 1854.
The consttutionality of the "act for the
more eiltctual suppression of drinking
houses and ippling shops" is contested on
the following grounds:
First, That the seizure and forfeiture of
the liquor provided for in the act is in con-
flict with the 18th section of Article of the
Constitution of this State, which declares
that private property shall not be taken for
public use without just compensation"
also, that such seizure and forfeiture arc
authorized by the act without due proof that
liquor seized was intended for sale.
Second, That the act provides that it
shall not be necessary in the warrant "to
particularly describe the packages or kinds
of liquor to be searched for" and is in con-
fict with section of Art. of the constitu-
ton, which requires description Gas near
| ly as may be of the place to be searched,
and the person or things to be searched,and
the person and things to be seized"
Third, That any defects in any such
complaint and warrant, either Of form or
substance, may be amended by the Court or
Justice before whom the complaint and
warrant are originally brought, and is in
conflict with sections 9Th and 10th of Art.
of the constitution, inasmuch as by such an
amendment, new and different offence
may b. substituted for the one originally
charged
Fourth, That it results from the fourth
and 9Th sections of the act, that the accused
may be twice tried and punished for the
the same act that is, he may be tried for
distinct acts of sale, and Afterwards for the
three together, as they constitute him q
common seller.
The case was presented for the defend.
ant by Levi Salisbury, Esq, in very
clear and lawyer like argument. He was
replied to by Christopher Robinson, Esq
Attorney General, at length, with his usual
ability. The Judges were all present, Judge
Staples presiding, and held the cause fol

Singular Phenomenon at Vera Cruz,
Merico.-At the beginning of the present
month he inhabitants of Vera Cruz were
much astonished and alarmed by dead fish
being cast on the beach from the sea. In
such quantities were they thrown up that
the authorities adJudged it necessary to
take active measures to provide against an
i'll effect on the public health among 9TH
ers, having them buried, and prohibiting the
sale Of any fish IN the markets or about the
city. Orders had been transmitted 10 all
adjacent districts to have similar precau-
tons adopted. An examination of the fish
having been ordered TO b9 made, the militia.
ry medical corps reported that the fish were
found, although quite fresh, with such an
extraordinary extent of tumefaction that
their eyes were started from their orbits,
while their intestines were swoolen to the
utmost extent by gases. The presence of
no poisonous agent, either mineral OF vege-
table, could be detected by the tests applied.
On immersing them and the fish in lime
water, an enormous quantity of carbonic
acid gas was cnvolved, and this agent is
therefore concluded'o have been the mme-
date cause Of the extraordinary mortality.
A submarine volcanic eruption is conjec--
turcd to have been source from which it
was furnished. This opinion is offered on
the authority Of statements made by Baron
Humboldt, in his "Cosmos." In 1921, il
is said, a SIMILAR phenomenon occurred in
the Mediterranean, when the shores OF
Corfu, Cephaonia, and Albania were in
fectcd by it. There and in adjacent pro-
vinces il caused a very destructive typhoid
epidemic. At latest accounts, the quantity
being thrown ashore at Vera Cruz had ma
diminished.

GEN. TAyLoR's REsIDEScE.-In Harper
for November, We notice all interesting ar
tice on General Taylor's residence at Ba-
ton Rouge" illustrated with a beautiful
picture of the same. The sad reality and
truth of the writer's words, when he says,
"A few years more and General Taylor's
residence will have disappeared" must
strike the visitor as he ascends the beaut-
ful avenue leading out of the town to the
barracks. The modest little picket fence,
with its unassuming gate, have gone to de-
cay and the shrubs and flowers, so care
fully protected in the days of the old mans
glory, have become rank and wild in their
struggles with briers and brambes for ex-
istence. The vine growing over The balco-
ny, so carefully looked after by the gentle
hand of the old hero's daughter, no longer
blooms to fill the air with fragrance. The
flowers have dropped, the leaves wilhered,
and nothing but the ghostly frame of "what
was" how fingers. The house itself is a
spectre. The last and only occupant since
Gen. Taylor left it for ever was Col. Web
ster and family, who are also numbered
with the dead; and the "old rustic cottage"
as il is, has been turned over to the rats,
and it reels now to tumble to ashes under
the gnawing tooth of oblivion. What a
lesson
1t was very briefday ago, when the old
gentleman returned from the wars "wiih
all his honors fresh upon him" A former
residence in Baton Rouge had endeared him
to our people, and they claimed him as
citizen--,he news Of his approach was her.
aided, and the town went to the waters
edge to welcome him. A torch.light process
sion, with music and banners, followed
him, and amid the cheers and acclamations
OF the people, he was escorted TO the home
OF his choice, the cottage now, dropping its
head, and only rescued from oblivion by
wood-cut. What an episode in the history
Of the worlds glory
With what reluctance the old man left
that fairy spot, his own words betray but
thero was a destiny ruling him, and he was
forced away, to occupy position altogelh-
er unsuited to his temperament. That des-
tiny has been sadly worked out. The hera
of Buena Vista is dead his amiabe widow
has followed him, and his accomplished
son in law, w. w. Bliss, has fought his
last battle.
The remains OF General Taylor should
have been deposited on this spot--a place

dear to him than any other on carlh-Ba-

A new pay of Advertising A man wh

A nep ray Of Advertising "A man who
was about 10 open a bar and restaurant at
Buffalo, New York, advertised that he
would redeem the notes of the Farmers
Joint Sock Bank at par between the hours
of ten and twelve on Wednesday morning
Tlhs notice was designed to draw a crowd
and advertise the new saloon and, as the
par value of the bills was reputed to be at
zero, the man did not run very great
risk. The crowd came, filling the drink
ing saloon to its utmost capacity, and be-
sides laid seige to Robinson e. Co.'S Bank,
which was near by. The Commercial
says:
"Some two or three hundred Germans
presented their Joint Stock money over the
counter and clamered for 'coot monish.' In
vain did Mr.. Robinson and his clerks en-
deavor to explain, for their voices were
drowned in the perfect babel ofthc unin-
telligible jargon of their persecutors.-
iSeilber dollars = 'Meine Got ! gibhon me
de golt = and Thousand Dutch curses
rose upon the air simultaneously, and the
scene was as ludicrous as exciting. Alter
awhile the matter was explained to the
crowd, but a number OF them loitered
round the door until noon, quite unwilling
to give up the last hope OF recovering the
two or three dollars at present sunk in the
Joint Stock concern"
1t does cot appear that those who pre-
sentcd their bills at the saloon received
specie, bu, we are told that one man who
cane ten miles to change his money felt
rather disappointed. Such a transaction is
rather too serious for Joke.

The Cannrd screw steamship Canadian
arrived al this port this morning, on her first

thence to the 7ih inst, three days later Than
were received by the Asia.
The Liverpool cotton market presents no

steady.
The sales comprise 10000 bales--the
greater portion Of which were taken of by

middling Orleans 5 5-l6hs., and do Mobile
and Uplands 3-l6ths.
The flour market exhibits an. improve

In London The improvement had been
greater-being equal to one shilling per

There is nothing new to notice in Pro-

The l. ndon money market continuedto
grow easier, and discounts were readily,

up to that date 10 event of importance had
transpired.
The Bombardmcnt, however, continued
with undated vigor, from the heights of
SevastopIl, and it was evident the place
could not hold out much longer.
One account says that the grand assault
would be commenced OH the I'd or Sd of
November, but concerning this there was
nothing certain. Both armies were fully
confident of success, the Russians having
been considerably reinforced. The town
was still on fire in various places at the date
of the last advices.

ALLEGED FRAUDULENT STock Issues.
In the Superior Court, special term, this
forenoon Judge Hoffman decided that the
stock of the New Haven II. r. Co., alleged
to have been fraudulently issued by Mr..
Schuyler, is good and valid stock, and must
come in, pro rata, with the other portion OF
the stock, on the capital Of So, ,OOO, ,OOO.-
The principle was that the stockholders
having authorised Mr.. Schuyler to issue
stock, and thereby to bring in new parties
they are bound by his acts. The effect
will be to reduce the value of the whole Of
the shares Including alleged fraudulent
issue) so as to make the aggregate equal
the capital by law. The decision was in
the case of Ketcham, Rogers & Beman,
against the Bank OF Commerce, to recover
certain sum paid upon transfer Of $40
shares Of alleged fraudulent issue pledged
to the Bank of Commerce by Il. and G. l..
Schuyler, and subsequently transferred, by
agreement, to plaintiffs. The above is the
outline as to the principle estab ished in re-
laton to the alleged over issues. The
Judge gave decision at much length.
The rule is to apply to stock taken by
parties without the knowledge of its having
been fraudulently issued and there is no
idea of any of the officers Of the bank. hav-
ing had such knowledge. The complaint
was dismissed, with costs.-N. Y. Express.

U The steamship Baltic arrived at New

The news by this arrival is extremely i'll
tercsing. The news of the massacre of
the English Ugh, cavalry under Lord Car
digan, is mai ly confirmed. They charged
upon Russian battery Of thirty guns, and
10 less than 400 men were killed outright,
only 200 returning. Since then there has
been inccssant and sangunary fighting
The allies, in point of numbers, are now
overmatched, and urgent requests have been
sent for instant reintorcements. Fifty
thousand French troops are to be instantly
sent 10 Sevas,opol, and every available steam
er has been taken up by the French and
English governments, including the Euro
pa, Alpa, Indiana, New York, and others.
On the 4ih of November, there was a
sangu'nary engagement, and on the 9Th, a
terrible combat, including a sorie and gen.
eral attack by Menscbikoll's whole army
The battle lasted from daybreak until p.

English tock some hundred prisoners. The
Russians stormcd several batteries and si-
fenced the guns. The loss Of the Allies
was 5000; That OF the Russians 5000. The
Cars two sons were in the battle. On The
9th the ba lie was resumed by The Russians
but the result is yet unknown.
