NORFOLK, March 81. 1859.
March goes out to-day as calm aud gentle as a
lamb. The weather is beautiful, and a warm, ges
NAL sun is fastening the p ogress OF vegetation.
We we're led into the error. yesterday, of saying
that the U. S. Court would adjourn and the Judge,
&c, would return to Richmond on to-dsy's boat.
The U. s. Attorney so stated, but the Court, hav-
ing been unable to complete the business, will
have TO remain another day, at least.
By advices received here last evening, we learn
that the ship Agamemnop, on Currituck beach, is
rapidly going to pieces, and fears are entertained
that the greater portion of her cargo will be lost
Her captain and the hVe men, supposed 10 De lost,
have turned up safe.
The Messrs. Baker arrived here this morning,
with 130 bales of cotton from the brig Geo. WASH
ington, which was reported ashore on Back river
beach.
A fire occurred on Wide Water street. by VII ich
the entire contents of a clothing store con-
sumed. The adjoining buildings were but little
damaged. Supposed to be the work of al incen-
diary.
A free fight occurred on Wide Water street this
| morning, into which a number of pugnacious in-
dividuals pitched. The party were captured by
| the police, and Mayor Lamb fined them IS each.
The quarantine regulations for this port go into
operation tomorrow. This is one month earlier
| than usual. The Board of Health have come tc
this determination from the fact that the winter
has been an unusually mild one. PERCUSSION
THEAraE-Beneft Of Mrs. Florence.-The per-
formance at the Theatre this evening, is for the
benefit of Mrs. w j. Florence, who has gotten up
| most attractive bill for her admirers, The
| 'Irish Lion,' in which Mr.. Florence appears,
comedy in which Mrs. F. appears in five charac.
ters, singing four songs and dancing pretty pas
seul, aud the farce of the "Yaukee Housekeeper, =
in which both F's appear, make up an evening" e
| entertainment which for hearty laughter has not
been equalled this season. Mrs Fs songs are
| about worth the price of admission, leaving q
| large balance, which cannot we'll be put down in
! figures to the credit of those who go tonight.

A Life Preserving Car.

This may appear to be a contradiction
in terms, for our ideas of a railroad Car
have come to be inevitably associated
with the ~destruction~of life, or at least
with the horrible multilation of the body.
But we can assure the reader that we
saw at Paterson. N. j., only a few days
since, a car which promises to hold its
passengers safe under all circumstances.
1t is constructed entirely of iron, of
strong iron braces and girders, and of
iron panel pieces, so peculiarly and in
geniously put together that it would seem
to be Impossible, by any amount of force,
to bend or break it, or to do injury to it
even by rolling it down a precipice. The
car was made under La Mothe's patent
by Mr.. w. Caudell, of Paterson, for the
Boston and Worcester road, and is in
every respect most creditable to the en-
terprise of the builder. The interior is
finished off in the most elegant manner.
Every panel has a fine papier mache pic
picture in it, representing some famous
view or monument; the seats are capa-
cious, and the ventilators numerous and
apparently efficient. The car owing to
the greater thinness of the iron sides, is
eight inches wider than the narrow
guage cars are usually, and weighs less
