A Romantic aud important case is now pend.
ing before Mr.. Surrogate Bradford. II is that OF
the estate Of Jeanne Dulux, formerly French
miiilner IN Broadway, and more recently capi-
tslist and moneylcnder in William street who
died last autdmn quite suddenly, though at an ad-
vanced age, leaving an estate worth not less than
81 900 900, accumulated by svarice, lucky invest
ments, and shrewd management This large
property is claimed by one Ferre, from Cincin-
natl, hair dresser bytrade, and apparently above
SO years old He was brought up by Madame
Dulnx as her nephew, but now asserts he was
her son by an early marriage, which took place
amid the troubles of the French revolution Of '93,
and which she afterwards concealed. That he
really is her son was clearly made out on the
trial but the public administrator acting in be-
half Of unknown heirs, contends that il is not
proved that he is her legitimate son, born In we'd
lock The evidence goes back TO the revelation,
and involves some complicated and curious
points of French law and social usages, The ar
L Brady for the claimant, and Mr. O'Conor for
the pubic administrator. The Surrogate's deci-
sion will, we suppose, be rendered within few
days.-N +. Tribune Friday.
The Underground Railroad In Danger
bill was presented in the Illinois Legislature on
the 10th instant, toprevent the carrying Of colored
people on the railroads Of that State, which was
read twice and referred and will probably pass
the House of Representatives. This bill provides
that no black or coored person, denomnated a
negro, shall be carried along any railroad in
this State by any railroad in the State, without
duly certified certificate of freedom Of such negro
or mulatto person being first presented to the
conductor OF the train and copy Of such certi6-
cate left with the conductor or agent" Section
two provides that any railroad company or its
conductor or agent, which carries slave without
any such certificate, shall be liable 10 the owner OF
such slave or mulatto in twice the value Of such
slave, to be recovered in the usual way.
As an evidence Of what has led to foreign
indebtedness and domestic extravaganza, we

There are various States that permit higher
rate OF interest on special contracts, viz in Yer
mont, seven per cent. may be charged upon rail-
road bonds. In New Jersey, seven per cent.
may be charged in Jersey city and in the town
ship OF Hoboken. In Maryland, the penalty is a
matter oil some doubt, in consequence Of a late
decision of Judge fancy, which does NOT, how
ever, meet The assent OF the bar OF Baltimore =
In Arkansas, ten per cent. may be charged on
special contracts. In Illinois, the banks NAV
charge seven per cent, aud per may ps,
charged between individuals, on special contracts
In Iowa, ten per cent. is allowed on special con-
tracts. In Louisiana, eight per cent. may be so
charged. In Michigan, contracts in writing are
legal 10 charge ten per cent The same in Mis-
sissippi and in Ohio. In Texas twelve per cent
may be charged on special contracts.
*Undsr the decision of Judge fancy referred
TO, the taking OF any rate of interest exceeding
six per cent, renders the whole contract void

stitution of the STATE.

SALT WATER RETREAT.

We do not know place where for COM
fort, good salt bathing, good eating and
good fishing, a man may go with greater
certainty of being gratified than to Piney
Point. 1t is kept by Mr.. DIX, popular and
experienced Landlord, who will do every
thing to promote the pleasure of his guests.
Piney Point, is not, as some other Saltwater
establishments are. subject to sudden incur
sions of crowds which jostle the regular
guests and curtail both the provisions and
the comforts. 1t generally visited by very
agreeable and intelligent citizens of Wash,
ington and Alexandria, with contribution
from other places in Virginia and Maryland
Ii is well shaded-the water scene Is pref
ty-the locality is interesting for its hsto-
rical "reminiscences, and above all as we said
already,it is provided with good eating, good
bathing and fishing So any body who is
going to the Salt water cannot make mis-
take by going to Piney Point. See advtr-

RICHMOND COLLEGE.

Under the local head will be found a
notice of the exercises of commencement OF
the Richmond College, and the very practi,
cal and valuable Buccalaurate address OF
DIR. RYLAND, President of the Institution
The past year, the College has had upwards
of 100 students, and has been conducted with
very great energy and ability by the learned
President and his coadjutors. They are now
building an additional wing to the College,
which will considerably increase its means
of accommodation.
This College is the Institution for which
jealous and good man, labored so earnestly
few years since. Chiefly by his perseve-
rance, q fund was raised sufficient to COM
plete the College buildings, and lay aside
$4,000 as an endowment of the institution.
1t was pleasure to receive the solicitation
of Mr.. P. in behalf of the Institution, SO
earnest, so sincere was it-so much did he
seem to feel that he was performing a
solemn obligation in holy cause. 1t was
gratifying to see his success, and it was an
additional pleasure to witness the liberality
which marked the contributions-there
being found in his lists men of all denomina-
tions of religion.
The Baptists now have two noble Institu
tions here that are ornaments to the city. and
that must be beneficial to it in both an intel.
leetual and pecunisry point of view. They
are admirably conducted.
