HYDE PARK.-The lot sold to MIR. Daniels, in
Hyde Psrk, contained several acres of land, and
was very cheap at 81 500. The inference might
be drawn from little paragraph in our paper of
yesterday that the price was too high. In view
of the quantity of land sold, the inference is err
roneous.

MISSOURI DEPRECIATING her OWN BoNDs.-We
observe that two out of the thirteen banking hou-

twenty-one of our Illinois banks. This is a sim

United States VS.. The Minnesota and North.
Western r. X. Co.-Chief Justice fancy delv-
cred the opinion of the Court. This was a
motion to reinstate case which had been de-
cided. He'd that where it had been regularly ar.
gued and submitted, the Court would refuse
hearing-unless some member of the Court hav.
ing acted with a majority should entertain doubts
as the correctness of opinions given. This rule
was inHexible. No member of the Court doubt
ing the correctness of the opinion delivered in the
case, the motion was oyerrpled. cgs.t
Edmund Rice VS.. Minnesota and North Vest
ern r. r. Company-Ths opinion was also de-
livered by Chief Justice Tanev-who held that
the amounts in controversy being larger or small
er could no. be permitted to affect the rights of
litigants in the Court. The case stands No. 25l
on the docket and will not be reashed for twelve
months. The motion was for taking the case
out of its order in consideration of the large
interests involved. Every suit stands upon equal
footing, and must be called in its turn as it
stands upon the docket. To this rule there are
but two exceptions-lst, When the case embar-
rasses the Government in the collection of her
revenues, AMI I'd, When the life or liberty of
citizen is involved. Motion overruled.
