THE SEVENTH TRIAL.-There has always
been mystic reputation for the number seven,
and although the number of believers in such
things may be less in these latter days than
formerly, yet they will all notice that the
French attack on the Malakoff was only sue
cessful on the seventh assault. The amiable
Pelssier must believe in number seven, for his
first start in life was when he was thrown, by
request, into an Arab fort, from which the
French troops had been six times repulsed
In the Crimea he probably remembered this
and the story of Bruce, who, when prisoner
watched spider building his web; six times
the spider attempted to fasten one of his sup.
porting cables-siX times the spider failed, but
the seventh he was successful. The Scottish
King took heart of grace from the perseve
rance of the insect. lie had been six times
defeated, but the seventh was the battle Of
Bannockburn, quite as important in that day
as the Malakoff. These condolences are in
teresting, and convey good lesson. There
are Malakofs in every mans path, and if he
will but perseycre till the seventh time, he will
be sure to have them at last Persevere to the
end

ABATEMENT OF THE YELLOW FEVER At Non
FOLK AND PoRTsxourH.--We are exceedingly
gratiied to learn that the pestilence which has
desolated for the last three months the unfor-
tunate cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth has
passed its eliminating point, and is steadily
abating. With the first decided frost, as
usual, we hope the epidemic will be totally
extinguished and that our next intelligence
will be that the frost has come. Have our
readers any definite idea of the appalling IA
tality Of this awful and protracted visitation
under which Norfolk and Portsmouth have
been stricken to the dust, and clothed as it
were in sackcloth and ashes :? 1t is estimated
that one in every five OF their inhabitants
has been carried off by the fever. A similar
mortality in New York would carry off one
hundred and twenty-five thousand people.
The weekly ratio, for many weeks, of deaths
to the population Of Norfolk, would, if applied
to the population Of New York, give us the
terrible weekly bill of mortality of twenty
five Thousand. Let our readers imagine the
terrible havoc among this community of
twenty-five thousand deaths week, and they
will have vivid conception of the late
heightened aflliction of Norfolk and Ports
mouth. We dare say that it is without paral
lei in the annals Of plaques and epidemics
not even excepting the rayages Of such vista
tions in Western Asia. We do hope that our
next news from Virginia will be that sharp
frost has utterly extinguished the fever, and
that neither Norfolk nor Portsmouth, nor any
other place in this country. or throughout the
world, will ever suffer the like hereafter.

The ABDIcATIoN OF CARRERA.-The news
from Mexico informing us that Carrera has
abdicated the Presidency, leaving the supreme
authority in the hands of the friends of Alva-
rez and Comonfort, may be regarded as fatal
to the federalist or Capitalization cause in the
Southern republic. Carrera's authority was
in the origin illegal. He was chosen by body
constituted by Santa Anna, in defiance of the
provision in the constitutional scheme which
provides for the election of President in
case of vacancy created by the death or alb
dication of the incumbent Carrera was, like
Santa Anna, federalist--it the term can be
applied to Mexicans--and as such was opposed
to Comonfort and Alvarez, who are partisans
of the democratic State rights platform
called the plan ofAyutla. Carrera's resigna-
ton may therefore be regarded as the triumph
Of the State rights party, and the adoption
for the present of the plan of Ayutla as the
basis Of the new government.

ITm. v. Noses 81 al. u.s. George Ross.
This was an action Of assumpsit brought to
recover payment for rent and use Of two-ninths
Of printing press. u
Il was admitted that defendant owned Eve
nin,hs of said press plaintiff two-ninihs, and
two-ninths belonged to persons not parties to
the suit II was also admitted that defendant
had used said press in his office five years and
nine months, that he had received all the prot
its and proceeds arising from the use Of said
press and had paid nothing TO plaintiffs
though often requested by them to do SO.
Messrs. Cobb and Newman, doth printers)
testified that they knew the press; should
think its value was from Sl65 to Sl75 that
fair compensation for the use OF such press
would be 10 per cent. on its value. Cobb tes-
titled that he and one Kimball had recently
bought the printing establishment including
the defendants interest in this press. 1t was
also proved that Ross recently received some
fifteen dollars insurance for damage done by
FIRE to this press.
II was contended in defence that plaintiff
and defendant were tenants in common Of the
press, and that one tenant in common could
not maintain an action against his cotenant for
use and occupation of the common property
1t was contended by plaintiff that tenancy in
common could not exist as between owners OF
personal chattels-that the owners Of this
press were joint owners, and that one owner
could maintain an action for his share of the
rents and profits received by the other-oth-
erwise, if the proceeds of the rents and profits
should be received by one owner alone, there
was no remedy for the other owners by which
to recover for the use Of their interest or right
in said property. J. S. Sewall for plfs.
Clap g. Baker for def.
BY the Court
There may be tenants in common of Person
al as well as Real Estate.
One tenant in common cannot maintain an
action against his cotenant except for rents and
profits received, or where there has been a de-
struction of the common property by fault O.
the tenant in possession. This being neither
of those cases, judgment must be rendered fol
the defendant with costs. Appealed,

Our Neighbors.


We DO Ike 10 say good thing Of our neigh
bors of the press in this city. The Mirror
has ceased TO be, having been swallowed in
the capacious nav of the Tribune, and the
Tribune comes on TO The walk in the shape OF
neat looking daily. Who thought this a
year or two ago. And all the political prin-
ciples for which the Two papers have Tough,
talian,ly in times gone by, are now doyetaied
together. What an advantage 10 belong to
parties whose principles are as easily shaped
as clay in the hands of the potter. But we
have no fault to fnd-we are glad our neigh
bors have put DER heads together and have
made new and fresh start. The Tribune
has our best wishes for as much success as is
compatible with the perverse nature of its pol
itcs and its unparalleled and sudden diyergen-
cies.
Our friend HAISrs Of the Mirror bids US
adieu. We have fought him often on paper
and sometimes, as the hot shots flew thick and
Fast, outsiders supposed there could be no real
humanity in the breasts OF the combaiants.-
Now he goes-gives US the parting stroke OF
the hand in newspaper lite-and we confess
our heart comes up with jerk, bringing down
ar- s.. IL, ;-r-o~;->- -
hess you,'' Rufus, wherever you GO. Here
Is our hand-we'l quit even. Blessing ant
prosperity attend thee, enriched by the ban
ishment of amnesty and passion. and the qui-
ct peace ever flowing from good heart and
conscience.
Friend Ross, too, bids US farewell. We
really have to say we are sorry to part with
him. II is true our newspaper encounters
have sometimes been rather fierce, but then
the times called for severity Calls well
that ends we'll" Our friend has got a big
heart: is gentlemanly and generous, and our
wish is that he may find the path he has
marked out in the future path of prosperity,
blessing and peace.
Having thus disposed Of our departing neigh
bers, with all buried animosities, if we ever
harbored any, we'have only 10 say that we
shall speak of our new neighbors moro partic-
ularly when we find them out more fully
In The meantime, the TINES has no new prin-
ciples to broach-no new path to mark out
no new position to establish. Old fashioned
DEMOCRACY, unyielding, stubborn-''unawed
BY influences and unbribed by gain''-we are
nightly in love with it. 1t wears like iron
sit fosters true national pride-it promotes :
good conscience is eternal as truth. We
can accommodate few more subscribers, and
shall endeavor to keep up with our neighbors
in giving the citizens of Bath frst-raie read
