where it has been seen by MIR. Dennis FIJI .nds
and acIuaint!nccs.
Early in October Mr.. Dennis while walking
down the road from SlrckerSviic, met Mr.
james Kennedy. who WAS driving II COW and
hctri, Mr.. Kennedy said to Mr.. Dennis that
the hritrr did not belong to him. hut had fol
lowed his Cow, and he requested Mr.. Dennis
to drive the heiier back, which the latter
consented to do, and after with some diff
Guilty getting the hcitcr back some hair mile
he turned her into Il lot in the hope that she
would there meet with other cattle and so be
prevented from straying away and Mr.. Dem
his there left the hcitcr. The hcifer being
missed, and Mr.. Ray, the owner, being in

ARRIVAL OF TIE ASIA.

day with Liverpool dates to the i Ii inst.
FRANCE.
The Paris Constitutional has long tenn
pcratcly written editorial on the friendly re
iations which should exist between the Uni
ted States and France, but which, it saws.
arc damaged BY the indiScrcct conduct Of Mr..
Suulc, whose acts, the Constitutional thinks
arc generally rcpudia.ed by the people Of the
United States.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says:-'.I am informed that the French
Government have in their possession positive
cYilence of the participation of Mr.. Soulc in
some vast plan for revolutionizing nearly the
whole of Europe" 1t is even added that
hose plans occupied thr attention of the Dip
lomatic Congress, held at Os;cnd
The United States Minister at Paris, Mr..
Mason, had another interview with the French
Minister Of Foreign Affairs De L'iluys, who
assured him that there were good reasons for
the conduct If the French authorities, which
should be forthcoming when necessary. In
the meantime, MIR. Mason might refer the
matter to his government.
Mr.. Mason is also sad to have had an in
tcrvicw with the Emp cror on Tie following
day. What occurred had not transpirc,l, but
it does not appear to have been satisfactory
TO MIR. Mason.
The news from the scat of war is quite i'm
portant, and shows that hot work has been
progressing.
y force of 10000 Russians attacked and
took the forts of Balaklava the headquarters
OF the English troops, to the south Of Scbasto-
pol, when great battle cnsucd, in which the
allies were finally successful and remained
masters of the field, with loss Of 500 mel
and eleven cannon.
The English stormod four redoubts. Thrc,
regiments of English light cavalry were cx-
posed to cross fire of the Russian batteries
and suffered immensely. The French posi-
ton was attacked the following day by 5000
Russians, but the latter were repulslu with
great slaughter.
The siege Of Scbastopol was progressing IA
vorably two Russian ships had been de
Stroy.d i'll the harbor 10y the fire from the be-
slcger's guns, and the quarantine batteries
had been silcnc.d. The bastion of Fort Con
stanline, on the north side Of the harhor, had
also been damaged ~ an explosion Of Il mag
azine.
The news, however is conflicting and leaves
matters entirely obscure Russian despatch
cs say the allies suffered two severe def ats
mandy: The French had their works dc
stroyod and l6 guns spiked, and the Englisl
cavalry Were attacked by MrnsclikoIf at Ba
laklaya and routed with Il loss of 500 horses

THE UsIrRY LAW IN MARYLAND.

#JrDGE TANEY's; DECISION OF UsuRY The
recent decision Of Judge fancy, in the Case
OF. Dill vs.. Ellicott, on the uSuriOils point
raised in the trial, has produced much soliri-
tudc on the part of some money lcndtrS. We
have taken good deal of trouble to ascertain
the substance of Judge Tancy's decision
which is this, that under the new ConSIi;u,
tom all original contracts or obligations in
GLIDING mere than & per cent. lncioS is void
and no contract whatever. In ease OF note
Of hand sold for what il will bring. tie Plea
Of uSrry cannot b. maintained. The I.cgiS-
latT c Is authorised to fix the penalties and
furtIlIlr,S' but aS vet have omitted to do so,
and the opinion of Judge 'raneyis, that 10
penalty Or forfeiture can be less than the
whole contract, hut may be more. We learn
that it is the intention Of Judge T. to write
out his opinion, which, will be looked for with
mach interest. In tic mean time, the notes
offered by brokers fol- sale, if not ori- inaliy
made with usuriuus intent, como, be affected
by the clause Of the Constitution |, frr,cd to.
and upon which Judge T. has ltcdll as
above In the case Of Dill W. l.licott the
plea of usury was not sustained, al hou.h
made, and the decision WAS III favor Of the
PLAINTIFF 70 recover, while, we believe, the ac-
ccp.ancc Of the Ellco,ts had been shaved.
We do not think this decision will have Ike
effect that some apprchend, Of preventing the
burying of notes Of hand at more than 6 per
cent, for it is evident that not one in ten
thousand originate usuriously, ind not one
man in twenty thousand would be so dl,lon-
est as to ropGdiate if he could, his oblga-
tionS. a man may be unable to pay his Oh
legations from may causes, but no honest
man will rcpndate or rcf,'se to pay his obli-
CATION, if he is able to meet it. Usury is an
oiltnce against the law; but for a mail TO sell
his note or other property for less than its
real value is no offence against the law, and
