New York ladies, whatever fondness they may
have for precious stones aud spider web trim

SUPREME CoURr.-Before Hon Judge DIARIES.
-Mussina rs Belden and others.-Judge Davies
decided this case on demurrer in favor of plain
tifs. This is well known the celebrated Wa
trous suit, which is now undergoing investigation
before the Judiciary Committee OF the House of
Representatives at Washington on a petition for
the impeachment of Judge Wattous The suit
Is brought to recover about half amillion of pro-
rerty. The points decided are that the courts of
New York have jurisdiction of the case; the
property Is situated in Texas, and that the de-
clsion OF Judge WatrOus in the United States
Court Of Texas against Mussina can be reviewed
and set aside, and is not bar to this case.--N

The COLLINS STEAMERS NOT TO BE Sold
The New York Courier saws.

The New York Courier says
We have authority for contradicting the report
published In the Journal of Commerce respect
ing an intended sale of the Collins steamers to
The British Government. The Company is some
what embarrassed by The withholding of the
money due them by the Government for carving
the mails, but they have idea of abandoning
the enterprise which has reflected so much honor
on the American marine. Conseq uently the story
that Captains COmstOck and West have gone to
England for the purpose Of making sale OF the
Baltic and Atlantic is untrue. The Atlantic will
leave New FORK on Feb 10, and the other steam
ers Will follow in regular succession.

counties The following is copy of one of the
replies:
NUNCER, Indiana, Jan. Il, '5S
