We learn that cause of very great Importance
was argued last week before. the Supreme Court
involving construction of the last Will e:,d Tesla
ment of Gen. j. j. Mckay, so long Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means. His Will was
executed in 1852 by which he directs that the slaves
received from his father and those acquired by his
wife shall be liberated and sent to Liberia, under
the direction of the Colonization Society The point
made in the cause whether the original stock
only become the objects of their masters bounty,
Will and his death also to be set free. The
cause, understand, very ably and deliberately
argued by J. g. Shepherd Esq, of Fayetteville,
and Col. j. G. McDugald, Of Baden, on behalf of
the next Of kin, and by G. G. Wright, of Fayette-
ville on behalf of the slaves for the Colonization
Society.
There are about $50 negroes in all belonging to

whom are involved in the present cause. The Court

following their own inclinatons in this respect
But paragraph from the Christian Herald, Of De-

creature from similar alarming predcament, we
give it place.

GRATIFYING FACTS.

The New York Day Book, paper which has been
uniformly true to the South and to the Constitution
and which, though printed in free State even JUS
titles slavery, says that since the first of December
it has kept private memorandum of the new SUBJ
scribers it has received by letter; and they
follows: From the free States, 2,277-from the
slaveholding States, 1850. ....
This shows plainly, says the Day Book, :" that
there is large population in the North that is still
willing to hear and receive the truth-a prodigious
number who will gladly support pro. slavery den.-
ocratic paper if they can find one The Day Book
has, beyond oil question, the largest weekly crcula-
ton of any democratic paper published in the north
ern States, and its course on the slavery question
alone has been the cause Of its getting this crcua-
ton. We have proved, to our own satisfaction at
least the truth Of the assertion we have frequently
made, that a democratic paper taking bold and
firm stand on the prosavery ground, would receive
. better support and more subscribers than any
one ever yet established in this city We have both
proved and realized this, and the Utica Herald will
find out between this and next New Years that
Franklin Pierce will prove and realize the fact that
such .spro-slavery" truths as he has put forth ID

FALL OF DEPOT AND RAILROAD CoLLsIoNs.-The
immense building known as the Depot of Richmond
and Danve Railroad. at Richmond, Va, fell on the
evening of the 18th inst with tremendous crash.
1t was filled to overlooking with produce and mer-
chandize Of every description The loss to the COM
pany will be very heavy. Fortunately, no person
was hurt. One Of the walls fell against the tobacco
factory of Archibald Thomas, Esq, prostrating a
large part of that building also.
On the same day collision occurred on the Dan
vile Road, about fifty miles from Richmond. ne
gro fireman was killed. Mr.. Charles James, one of
the engineers, is said to be seriously injured. Sew

SNoRrNG.-Old man Hicks was an awful snorer
He could be heard farther than backsmith's forge;
but his wife became accustomed toit, that it sooth
ed her repose They were very domestic couple
never slept apart for many years. At length the
old man was required to attend court distance
The first night after his departure his wife never
slept wnk-she missed the snoring The next
night passed away in the same manner, without
sleept. She was getting into very bad way, and
probably would have died, had it not been for the
ingenuity of servant girl She took the cofee-mil
into her mistress chamber, and soon ground her to

ClrOuSn the uuerent apartments, ana Witnessed IN
detail all the operations of the worknen and artists
necessary to make a finished engraving-from the
commencement of the plate to the printing of the
notes. The plates for bank notes or bonds are not
prepared altogether, as had imagined, each figure
is put on separately by machine. For instance,
the coupon to bond or vignette on bank note is
first engraved by hand OH small block of steel, it
is then hardened, and by the machine the figure or
letter frctted and worried into steel roller. This
of course, reverses it. In similar manner it is
transferred from the roller to the plate and renewed
again, and it is then ready for printing. Frequent
ly during this operation, the plate is removed to
ascertain if the impression is of the required depth
to make perfect engraving To replace it requires
great care and experience-sometimes engages the
workman for hours. Every fine line and hair stroke
must be fitted with exactness, the impression is
doubled and the plate ruined The geometr:cal
lathe-work bank note cannot be counterfeited
by the most skillful artist 1t may be closely imi
tated, but those accustomed to handling notes can
detect it in a moment. 1t is executed with mathe-
NAUTICAL correctness by the eccentric wheel and lathe
You might, with entire safety, give the lathe to a
cOunterfeiter, or any artist workman in the
Enlistment, as it would be impossible for them to
connt.rfeit the work unless they given the
key In printing, the face of the plate is first GOV.
cred with ink, then wiped clean as possible with
CLOTH and polished with whiting by hand. This is
repeated for every impression and is the cause of
the plates wearing away and occasionally requiring

SOMETHING MoRE on ''rrE SOAP MtyE.n-Fret-
ting the Incredibly of some people, who fan
cied that the ''soap mine"was all humbug, the
editorial 1--WE" of the Union Democrat (Sonora)
resolved to visit the locality of the alleged mine,
and investigate the business himself. He thus
describes the result
About half way between Valyecito and Alb.
bey's Ferry, and at the hips OF one of those trc-
mendious spurs that SO disfg,re themselves in
the confgurstion of Table Mountain, we came
10 the shaft from which this peculiar compost
ton is taken 1t is sunk nearly one hundred
feet deep. The stratum FROM which this is dug
crosses the shaft about thirty feet below the
surface, and is some six seven inches in thick
ness, and is most singular formation. We
have endeavored TO trace it's geneaologv. Upon
applying nitric acid to some of the particles we
took from the Mountain, we found they were
entirely destitute Of aillali; so that, although
they may be ofthe same family with the magne-
sites taken from the Swinuess, in the Shetland
Isles, and at Hoboler, in New Jersey; still the
substance cannot be the same. Testing it. we
have found it will wash clothes or skin nearly as
wcilas CASTLE soap while it is, at the same time
susceptible OF most beautiful translucent pol
ish. 1t evidently belongs 10 the formation cal
led rgiaceous, and, We think, may be conGensa
ton OF pipe-cay ard loan. The nearest com
parison We can make for the substance to any
thing known in scientific precedent is to loam-
Submitted TO the condensed blow pipe it is al
most indestructible, ans after burning say fiE-
teen minutes, on pulvcrizing, makes splendid
polish tor daguerrotype plates. We are convin-
ccd that II Is susceptible OF being converted into
the finest caFlhcn ware yet known to the world.

MoRr ForGEuy ,norn;nu

MoRE FORGERY. Ycsterday morning, it was
discovered that forged checks and notes had
been circulated to some extent, and taken BY
the Banks and Bankers. John S. Lakn, book
keeper in the dry good store Of Chalfons and
Forster, on Lower Market, has been for some
time selling uotes and checks on that firm, to
what extent isl known, but supposed to the
amount of SIC, 900 or more.
Some Of the forgerics were discovered on
Monday afternoon, and Lakin Immediately dis
appeared. He had been dealing for some time
heavily in lottery tickets, and was known 20 be
haad pressed for money and from this circuin-
stance it is supposed he did not take much mon
ely with him. He had been connected with the
house, unde" its present name, about year and
a half, and had never drawn or signed the genu.
inc checks OF the iirm-Cncinnati Gazette.

Astounding Poisoning Case ia Eng"
land,

\ most astounding case Of poisoning occupies
considerable space in public attention. The cir
cumstances are briefly these. DR.. William Pal
mer, surgeon who had made betting his proies
sion-in other words sporting man. was in
company with gentlemen named Cooke, at
8ugeley, Safordshrc, settling up some gam
bling accounts, when Cooke, who had just dranl;
glass of liquor, suddenly became sick, and cx-
died next dav, and Palmer was arrested. A dis
covcry that Palmer was indebted large sum
10 Cooke, confirmed the suspicion against him,
and it was remembered that his {Palmers) wife
had died suddenly OF symptoms similar 10 those
that carried off Cooke This lead 10 further in
quirv, when the astounding fact came gradually
out that Sirteea persons, all Immediately conncc-
tcd with Palmer, among them his brother and
his wiie's mother, had died suddenly within a
short time, and that on the lives ofsome of these
persons he had effected insurance. while with
others he had betting transactions. Palmer
had obtained an Insurance upon the life of his
wife for el3,no1, and upon that of his brother
lor f23,010. The most astounding incident of
tick iwho, it will be remembered died Suddenly
had transactiocS with Palmer and il is now be-
heved that he was poisoned The corpSes Of
some of the supposed victims have been exhum-
ed, aud submitted 10 chemical research for ira
Ges o. poison. Strychnine, or some other vege-
table preparation, is supposed 10 have been the
means employed. 1t is somewhat curious that
