The Court was occupied in the following bu,i-

dered to be supported at the States expense in the
Maryland Hospital
August Grief, charged with stealing a five dollar
note from Henry Laurence, the 9th October was
aragned and pleaded "'not guilty." Battee for de-
fence.
Mr.. Whitney then asked Mr.. Cowan if he had
filed his second motion in Ford's case; as Monday
had been fixed as the day for hearing the argument
he would like to know what the motion was
Mr. Cowan replied that he had not yet filed the
motion; he had written petition addressed to the
Court which he could file in the course of the day.
The petition contained prayer in substance ask
ing the Court to conform the proceedings in the
case to the acts of Assembly and laws of the State
and in accordance with the strict rights of the ct-
zen. lie would send for the petition and file it as
soon possible.
Mr.. Whitney.-"I would like to see the petition,
and move to take up the ON Tuesday instead

ing the motion.

Court fixed the bail at S700 in each case.
Mr. Whitney called the attention of the Court IN
the case of Mary Harris, (negress,) who was con-
victed few days ago of receiving goods, knowing
them to have been stolen. The jury, in finding
their verdict, had recommended her to the mercv
of the Court, believing that she had been made

her counsel, had filed several affidavits going to

1t is estimated that IL 900 men will be sufficient

General Lamorciere is said to have offered his
service to the Emperor, in case a war against Aus
tria be really intended. The rumor ma V have been
put forth by the Bonapartist party; but the Orean-
ist General, at all events has now an opportunity
of stating the truth.
The Daily Ne,os' correspt nd Il t saws: "The uni
form tendency of all the evidence which now press
es upon my ear at every moment is to show that
war was thoroughly resolved upon at the moment
when the Emperor made his evermemorable new
years speech to NJ de Hubner; and that all semi
icial statements and dispatches to the contrary
have only been made and written with view to de-
ceve. Orders have been issued to call home all
French ships-of-war on foreign stations which can
possibly be spared from the particular service on
which they now are." ...- ---E.. f.. - .f-a
