Interesting Judicial Decision.

| On the 9th instant, in the United States Dis
! trct Court sitting at St. Louis.Judge Wells de-
/ liyered the opinion of the Court in the case OF
| the Memphis Insurance Company VS.. Oliver and
! David r. Garrison. The points are as follows:
/ .In the year 15i9 a large amount of cotton,
/ three hundred aud eighty Eight bales, valued at
| SI629O. was shipped at Memphis and other
points in Tennessee for New Orleans on the
steamboat Convoy" of which boat the defen-
dants were owners. A bill of lading was given
by the boat, under which the cotton was to be
carried and delivered, dangers Of the rirer on
IN ereepted.' The boat and cargo, in the month
of February, were destroyed by fire, which 1t
was admitted did not arise from any fault or neg
lgence of the master, crew, agent, or owners OF
the boat. The Memphis Insurance Company
had insured the cotton against loss by fire
They paid the loss, and about year thereafter
brought this suit against the owners of the boat
to recover the value of the cotton, claiming to be
equitablv subrogated or entitled to all the rights
of the original owners of such cotton.
1.-The Cont held LIST. That the compliments
were entitled to sue in equity to recover If the
defendants were liable. %. That the exception
in the bill Of lading of dangers of the river
only did not include fre-fire was nota danger
of the river within the meaning of the bill of la
ding, though it did not proceed from any fault or
negligence Of those manag ing the boat. de-
cree was accordingly rendered against the de-
PENDANTS for the value of the cotton"
Commenting ON this the st. Louis Democrat
says: This decision is highly important to
our CONNER cial people generally, and will coca
sion much comment among steamboat owners
aud others. North and South. The case hangs
upon very nice point, and perhaps majority
will not be willing to admit the distinction made
between dangers Of the river and dangers on the
river 1t is stated that the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Ireland-Decline Of the Population.

A correspondent of the Dublin Freemans

tour in the southern and western counties, writes
as follows:

young fellows who were to be seen in the Temple

said that as soon as OCounel was sent to Jail and
the people saw there was no justice to be had
for Ireland. and that they continued to be turned
out of the lands without the government doing
anythingto protect them, they all began to leave
the country; then the potato failure and the fam
inc came, and swept away almost all that remain
ed; and the government, instead of doing any
thing to keep the people at home, were in hurry
to get rid of them and sore day it was for
the Queen that she did not keep them to fight for
her instead of the Frenchmen. who will have all
England in their power when the fighting is over,
and must get whatever they will ask; but if il
was only Irishmen lighting they should take
whatever they could get-that's the difference
in the ease, and bad day for England it was to
let the people go away. but hope the villainous

to the expulsion of John Van Buren from the

Every day after the King of Tartary has set

drrs his herald to proclaim. through porentous
ox-horns, to the North, the South, the Fast and

Of the rest of the world are permitted to sit

the condescenson of the Tartar chief. The
common scold of the Washington Union

shrewishness assumes to read John Van Blu

up its OK horn and blows it sonorousy to

An Early Movement for the Presidency.

An Early Movement Tor the ffcsldeHCy.
A first movement has been made with refer
ence to ..the Democratic National Convention"
TO be held at Cincinnati, for the selection of Can
ddates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
A meeting of the Democrats Of the Seventh Dis
triet of Massachusetts,, was held at Charlestown
on the 18th instant at which Messrs. Chas ii.
Peaslee and w. w Pierce elected Dele
gates to the National Convention. These, we
believe, are the first delegates that have been
chosen in any section of the Union. Several
resolutions were adopted on the occasion, and
among them the following:
.'Resolved, That the principles of tho Ameri-
can Democracy have been faithfully, energeti-
cay, and honestly applied in the public acts of
the present national administration, and that
Franklin Pierce has justified by his wise impair
iial and fearless course Of action, the confidence
reposed in him by the people of tho United
States.
"Resoyed, That while we are proud to know
that there are in the democratic ranks many
statesmen whose tried integrity, known ability,
and commanding influence, will undoubtedly
suggest their names as candidates for the chief
Inagistraoy during the next presidential term,
and Will. we shall heartily concur in and ear
Mostly support the nomination made by the Ma
tional Convention; il seems to us that the inter
ests of the country and the success of our prln
oiples will be promoted by the ro nomination Of
President Pierce, believing. As we do, that the
people will endorse that nomination at the polls
as triumphantiy they did in 1852"
Tho Washington Union has transferred the
above to its columns. and we may therefore in
fer that General Pierce is fully in the field rs a
candidate for denomination.
