UNINED STATES JUDIcIARY.--The Sen.
ate (says the New York Evening Posi-
is now discussing q proposition for re-
leasing Judges of the Supreme Court
from circuit duties, as well as the re-
quirement of two terms at Washington
a year, beginning on the first Mondays
of November and May. 1t is also pro-
posed to establish eleven circuits, with
as many circuit judges, in the thirty
three States of the Union, to hold con-
current jurisdiction with the district
Judges of their respective circuits. This
plan of reform is considered the least
innovation upon the present system,
compatible with the relief needed, and
the one which can BE the most easily
recti6I shoGaAroperate disadvantage
ously. If it should be adopted, Mr..
Chase's amendment, contemplating a
reduction of the number of the Supreme
Court from nine to six, should accom-
pany it.

The Cosr OF H WAR.-The leading
English journals complain bitterly OF
the cost of the war. The London Times
gives the total expenses for twelve months
at eighty millions of dollars. For the
present year, the expenditure will be
still greater, unless peace should be de-
clared. The calculation is that at least
one hundred millions will be necessary,
and with the best view of the subject, at
least fifty millions of dollars must be
raised annually, as long as the wal may
last, either by an appeal to the money
market, or by doubling the rates upon
the tax payers.

The NEw.YoRk MUSICAL REVIEW

The New York Musical REVIEW
Published by MASON BRorHERs) has
entered upon its sixth year with renewe-
ed vigor and bright hopes for the future.
Hereafter, it will contain the usual sup
ply of news, criticism, and gossip, and
four pages of music in each issue and
in addition, there will be published in
each number a few chapters of a work
by LOWELL Mason, Esq, the celebrated
professor of music, in which it is design
ed to embody the result of his long and
careful study, observation, and expert
ence in music teaching; to form, in fact
a complete guide-book or manuel for
music teaching. The lively interest in
music which Mr.. MASON has always ex-
hibited his active, continued, and sue
cessful efforts in popularizing its study
in schools and among the people; his
extended opportunity for testing the
value and workings Of various methods
ofmusical instruction, abroad as well as
at home and especially his well-known
tact and preeminent success as a practi-
cal teacher, warrant US in believing that
he will produce a work of high and per-
manent value. This feature is a novel
and important one, and many will doubt
less consider it alone worth more than
the dollar, which THE MUSICAL REVIEW
costs.-Ne1o York Tribune.

Great Haul of Cleveland Counterfeit
ers.- Another Bank Burst -Presi-
dent, Cashier and Teller all in Jail.

With a praiseworthy determination to
u%nloose the tightness of the times by.
making money plentier, several good
good lookingyoung lady, have associated
themselves together without asking the
special privileges of a Legislative char
ter, and have prepared at considerable
expense a large amount of pictured
promises to pay, duly signed and coun-
tersigned, which ruthlessly have been
wrested from them By Sheriff Spangler
and deputies and even they arrested and
put in !" durance vile"
The officers have been some time on
trail of this gang, and yesterday, by
means of a Post Office trap, the resi-
dence of the chief counterfeitcr was
found to be in this city, at No. % SEQ
vile street. His name is E. j. Somcrs,
alias j. d. Miner. The Sheriff and his
party vent noiselessely to his residence
last night. A gentle tap by one of the
party, brought a very polite nice little
woman to the door, who said Mr.. Miner
was not in. In the mean time Mr.. NJ.
was making his exit out the back way,
and was arrested by one of the Deputies.
The besieging party then " pitched
in to tho house, but found the inner
room containing Mrs. Miner and a Mr..
Rosecrants alias Nichols locked and ad-
m~ittance .refus- d, ThsprdeG was given
to burst open the door, when it was
quickly opened by the lady In the
stove was found a roaring fire, all of
ne1o bank bills just put in. Rosecrapts
and the lady were seized, the room
searched, and about ttcenty thousand
dollars of prettily printed bank bills, all
on Eastern banks, were found ready for
circulation, and a whole trunk full ready
to be filled out.
On Miner was found aletter from one
Of the gang, ordering a large amount to
be remitted to him, as he was going east,
via Philadelphia and Baltimore, and
could put it off like hot cakes. A list
of retail dealers, customers from abroad,
who were ~patronizing this Wholesale
House in Cleveland, was also found.
Tho three are in Jail, and by aid of
the telegraph, no doubt other arrests in
other parts of the country are ere this
made.
This is a grand haul, and Sheriff
Spangler is entitled to much credit for
the celebrity and neatness with which he
has despatched this job.-Cleue. fkin

Eccentricities Of Se6astopoi Weather.
Since l last wrote lat which time we
had two days of almost summer wealth
cry we had all sorts of eccentric atmos-
pheric changes-bitter cold. followed
by comparative heat-sunshine and hail
show and rain; the whole i~ntersper-
sed with various notifications of wind.
from q gentle breeze to sewers gale
these sudden changes are most remark.
able: morning will gradually reveal to
us a glorious sunrise, when the evening
of the same day will find us enveloped
in thick marky mist, out of which will
spring hurricane and rain. While 1 am
writing, the aspect of the nights is as
chill and miserable as any Russian can
possibly desire. Fogs blow up in quick
succession from the castellated crags
below. 1t is difficult to walk upon the
soft, yielding aud around us, and heavy
falls of rain and tremendous gusts of
wind have it all their own way. Such
heavy masses of falling rain as came
down upon us last night I never saw
exceeded, even in the tropics.-Tsme
Correspondent.
The Ladies Of the E1pedtion.-Of
all the ladies who accompanied or Joined
the expeditionary army only one re-
mains, namely: Mrs. Duberley, wife of
the paymaster ofthe 18th Hussars, who
is quartered at Balaklaya, and with
whom she may be occasionally seer RI
ding or walking. The aspect of this la
dy is now grave, though she was in Eng
laud very fond of the gayeties of life
Many of the wives left at Malta, The
rapia, Pera, &C., have been made Wild
ows by war and climate.
Camp Prices and Lu9nrSes.-We
read in a letter from a sub-oficer of the
French Engineers before Sobastopol:
will give you an idea of the manner
in which we live. If we wish to procure
any thing beyond the ordinary r~ations,
we must pay IF. a litre for wine, zoe.
the kilogramme for haricots, coo. the
kilo. for potatoes, At. a kilo. for sugar
and 2f. for a wax candle. As for other
things, they are beyond reason. AS to
our kitchen, it is kind of hut built
with dry stones aud covered with our
camp sacks. It is so low than we can
scarcely stand upright in it., and it is
here that we have all our r~eereations and
our gossip. The rain comes through the
roof as through a sive, aud in the morn
ing the place is like a swamp. Fortu-
nately, we eat. we'll, are young and in
good health, and have bomb-proof pa
~tience."

The Result of the Maine Law in Con-
necticut


The Western Christian Advocate of
this city, in an article upon prohibitory
liquor laws, speaks of its result in Con
necticut:
We kno1c that there is not { as much
liquor drank in Connecticut as at any
former period A gentleman, whose
veracity cannot be impeached, who is
just from Connecticut, and who has lived
years there, informs us that in very re-
cent and extensive travels through the
State and in widespread inquiries on the
subject, he has deliberately come to the
conclusion that not one fourth of the
liquor is drank there now that was two
years ago."
Now, in answer to this positive knoaol-
ed S of the editor of the Adrocate, found
ed upon the statement of the gentleman
whose "veracity cannot be impeached,'
We beg leave to publish the following
statistics of drunkenness in the town OF
Hartford, as furnisl ed by the Times Of
that place, which proves that it has in
creased greately under the Maine L aw.

no rHE READER.

Our editorial this week is rather scarce,
owing to our intention to leave the
Clerks Office. We are fully convinced
that our interest, as well as our readers,
require that We should devote our whole
time to the U11ton, and, accordingly,
we are busily engaged closing up our
business. We have honestly came to
the conclusion, that holding Office is no
"great shakes after all. Yet we are
no believer in what the son wrote to his
Father, that in this country, " almighty
mean men get office" We leave the
Clerks Office in the hands of one every
way qualified to do its duties. We
make no boast, but we simply say to those
who may " believe in a hereafter +" that
the Union viii be a much better paper
than it has heretofore, although, judg-
lug from the voluntary increase of its
subscription list, we think it has been
duly appreciated.

Correspondence OF the Ashland Union.
FROM NEW YORK.
New YoRK. Feb. 8. 1855.

Several confectioners in this city and
Brooklyn have been sadly hoaxed of
late by a well appearing lady ordering
for a large party and entertainment, of
the choicest and most expensive luxu-
uries the market affords prepared and
sent to her residence at a particular
hour in the evening. Upon reaching
the number designated, no such person
was known, no order given, or party ex-
pected. The carterer had nothing to
do but pocket the loss and give his
friends a treat to the fxins." All
she gained by the move appear to be a
few sweet meats she carried home as
samples.
Mayor Wood has thus far done bet
ter than any other chief magistrate in
this city for many years. He has al
most entirely stopped the sale of liquor
on the SABBATH, the city is becoming
clean-the police seem to do their duty
better, and feel that they have ahead,
one who is after them. He has opened
a Complaint Book" which is q regis
ter of all sorts of grievances, which
keeps one man busy in recording them.
It seems a wonder it has not before been
opened. If the Mayor keeps on as he
has begun he will belle all his for
mer antecedents and happily disappoint
good men. Other Mayors have been
engaged in other business and could on
ly devote a portion of their time to their
official duties. Mayor Wood devotes
himself entirely to his duties, and seems
determined to carry out the laws. l
verify believe if the Maine Liquor
Law is passed and goes into opera
tion, that Mayor Wood (who is a tenn
perance many will enforce that also,
while it remains a law and the Mayor
in power. If so, what a revolution we
should see in this city, with her five
thousand grog shops and millions spent
in liquid pioson.
The Mayor has issued his edict
against gamblers and fortune-tellers.-
MEG uckin the late teller of the Ocean
Bank, has been brought from the looms
and made to testify against the gam
bling-house in Broadway and Warren
Street.
Gen. Almante, the Mexican Minister
at Washington, has entered a complains.
against f. DeArsangois, late Mexican
Consul General, for returning $4,000
OF commission out of the seven millions
of Dollars received from the U. S. Gov
ernmont deposited for Mexico-holding
that the Consul was entitled to no COM
missions over and above his salary of
$4,000 per annum.
The Steamer Massachusetts has been
seized and brought back to her wharf
by the U. S. Marshall. Muskets and
ammunition were found on board, and it
is supposed that she was bound Oh a
6llibustering expedition and it is ru-
mored that other vessels are preparing
for similar expedition. The Massa-
chusetts formerly ran upon the Sound
between New York and Norwich.
A Concert is to be given by the News
Boys next Wednesday evening, at the
Tabernacle. A rehearsal took place last
evening at their lodging house. A
good work is going on among them
Many of these outcasts may yet make
worthy men.
The steamer Arago has just been
built to replace the Humboldt on the
line between New York and Havre is
finished and ready for launching. $780,
600 and will carry 200 passengers.

CONVICTION OF A DuELIsT,-Juan Pages
has been found guilty of manslaughter
at New Orleans, with a recommendation
to mercy, for killing Juan Faster in a
duel. The prisoner is about 40 years
of age, and has a family. The Courier
says:
"This is the first time in the annals
of Louisiana that a conviction for duel
ing has taken place, although the stat
utes making the Staying of a man in a
duel murder are coeval with the Consti-
tuition of the State. 1t is true this du-
ell was fought under the most attrocious
circumstance, and in a most murder
GUS manner, Nevertheless, We hail this
verdict as an important legal precedent
and as an evidence of a healthy state of
public opinion"
The duel, it appears, was fought with
knives the parties we're equal in phys
ical power; and when one objected to
the knife of the other, the latter offered
and actually did exchange knives, and
with the weapon of his antagonist slew
him.

e The saMt Pub Tic of Lyons,
France,0 relates the following fact,
which is pointed out to the attention OF
psychologists
can officer of the French army,
whom General de Martimpery had sent
to make an reconiorsance in the neigh
borhood of Sebastopol, was knocked
down, not by a cann9p ball itself, but. by
the wind of it as it passed close to him.
The commotion produced was so intense
that the lounge of the officer instantly
contracted, so that he could not either
put it out of his mouth or articulate a
word. Having obtained leave of alb
sence, he returned to Marscilles, where
he underwent treatment by means of elec-
tricity. After the first few shocks the
toungs began to move with more facility
but without his being able to speak
On the twelfth day he was subjected to
an unusually violent shock which pro-
duced the desired effect, and in a few
minutes after the patient recovered his
speech. He is now fully recovered, aud
expects to return to his post in a few
days.

THE WAR.-A letter in the Pays
dated Constantinople, Jan. 5th, says
A column of ri6emen had taken pos
session of the important position of
Camara near BalaklaYa after driving out
the Russians. The enemy in this affair
experienced severe loss, were completely
routed and fed precipitately, burning
their forages and tents.
LArEsr.-We are indebted to f. II.
Lewis for the following:
The Times, in a leading article, draws
a most deplorable account of the state
of the army in the Crimea, at the be-
ginning of January they could muster
$4,000 bayonets. Here the line broke
down.
