SIGNS OF RETURNING PROsPERITY-The
National Intelligencer, under the above heading
makes the following statement:
"The receipts of the New York Custom House
for the three months ending on the 3lst ultimo,
are stated at about 10,300,O00, which, with the
revenue collected at other ports, will furnish it is
believed an aggregate amount not much, If at all,
below S15,000,00O. The expectations of Mr.
Secretary Cobb, under this head, being so nearly
realized as to relieve the Treasury from any
unexpected PRESSURE it is represented that with
the assistance afforded by the reissue of the
Treasury notes, and in the absence of the demands
which the Post Office Department would have
made if the regular appropriation bill for this
branch of the public service had not failed the
Secretary of the Treasury has to apprehend
any embarrassment during the interval extending
from the present time to the next annual meeting
of Congress. This intelligence we are sure will
be as gratifying to the country as the results
themselves, which promise to verify his calculations
must doubtless be welcome to Mr. Secretary Cobb"
Upon the above, the New York Journal Of
Commerce comments thus
''Thus, one after another, the advocates of an
increase of duties by the last Congress concede the
correctness of the position of those who predicted
suficiency ofrcvenue underline present system. We
can now see how unwise would have been the plan
so strongly urged upon Congress, of increasing the
duties, and disturbing the course of trade, by new
regulations and a new mode of valuation

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-At the late session
of our Court action against the Wilmington &
Manchester r. R. Company for lost trunk was
tried. The value of contents proved to ex-
ceed Five Hundred Dollars; this Company have
an endorsement upon their tickets which, among
other things, declares that they will not be
responsible for lost baggage to an amount exceed
ing one hundred dollars; this endorsement was re-
lied upon to limit the liability of the Company in
this particular case.
His Honor ruled, and so charged the jury, that
common carriers could not thus limit their liabi-
ties he dwet upon the injustice which would re-
suit if the endorsement upon the tickets referred
to was taken and considered as a contract to which
the passenger was presumed to have assented. The
jury found for the plaintiff to the amount of the
contents of the trunk, as proved

the views taken by his Honor are correct, and
have but little doubt as to what will be the deci-

question both regards the travelling public and

has arisen for the final adjudication oft by the

A STRANGER SwINDLED-Yesterday morning,
says the Baltimore Sun, gentleman from North
Carolina reached this city, and stopped at the
Fountain Hotel. He intended to take the boat
for Norfolk in the afternoon, and while sitting in
the hall waiting for time to 60 to the wharf he
approached by party who engaged in conversation
with him. The intruder said he was from Alaba-
ma, and was also going down in the Norfolk boat.
After talking for some time, the stranger was in
vited to accompany his new acquaintance to the
Office of the latter at the corner of Baltimore and
South streets 1t was then more than a half hour
before the time to 90 to the wharf, and they start
ed for the office They had not proceeded many
steps down Baltimore street, when third party
approached and touching the pretended Albanian
on the shoulder, told him that he had disappointed
him, whereupon the latter apologzed and said he
had plenty of money at his Office but asked the
North Carolinian for the loan of $50 until they
got to the Office, and he would return it. The
money was handed to him, the apparent creditor
was satisfied, and the two friends walked down
Baltimore street to the door of the Colvin Build
ing. The gentleman from North Carolina waited
at the door for some time, but his acquaintance
had passed out at the South street door, and disap-
peared. Marshal Herring informed of the
swindle, but it was too late, the money had gone
and the man with it.

tend to improve his situation. The accounts from

trust or otherwise, than onethird part of his

This is one of those Legislative interferences in
testamentary devises in the right direction. The
policy is more than questionable of accommodating
in the hands of any association whatever the

have inherited, to the prejudice of kindred, who
may be left in consequence necessitous.
