draft an amendment to the law embodying sub

5OO-hquors to be sold at profit of five per
cent. The proposition was made the subject
OF lengthy discussion in which Messrs Mer-

SAD SCENE IN CoURT.-A handsome and
respectfully dressed woman was brought into
Justice Cornwell's Court, this morning, in
state of beastly intoxicaton. While in charge
of the officers in the court she took fit of
detr'um tremens, and the scene that ensued was
heartrending beyond description. Her shrieks
were so terrible and agonizing that even the
officers of the court, used TO such scenes, were
yisibly moved. We learned, from one of the
officers of the court, that this woman was the
wife Of an eminent physician, and but short
time since was highly respected as an exem-
pary wife and mother, and had everything
around her to make her life happy, but in an
evil hour she yielded to the vice Of intemper-
ance, and since then has gone down, step by
step, in her sad career. Her husband tried
every means in his power TO reclaim her, but
without avail, and, final resort was obliged
to have her arrested and sent to the peniten.

Mr.. EDIToR,-Mechanics Hall ought to be
crowded tonight, to hear the great question of
this nation and this age discussed by one of
our most eloquent and able divines. DIR.
Cheever has studied this subject profoundly in
all Its bearings, and with much of opposition
and obloquy to contend against, he has steadily
and faithfully borne testimony against this
great sin, with a power of argument that no
sophistry could evade, directness and kind
ness Of application that no conscience could
resist, and burning eloquence that reminds
one of the inspired Hebrew prophets CLEAR
him for his cause" s.

MR.. BURNHAM BEFORE THE SUPREME
CoURT.-On Saturday last Chief Justice
Shaw pronounced the decision of the Supreme
Court on the question of the Imprisonment of
the Liquor Agent by the House of Representa-.
tives. He stated merely the result to which
the court had unanimously arrived, reserying
the opinion to be given at length hereafter
The constitution confers upon the Legislature
the prerogative OF Imprisonment. The ques-
tons to be decided were, have the courts
right to interfere, or is the judgment of the
House conclusive. When certain case &C.
ours, in which it declares contempt to have
been committed, the courts cannot interpose
In this case the petitioner had been guilty of
contemptuous behavior within the meaning of
the statute He was rightly before the COM
mittee and the House, and was summoned to
give answers which in the judgment of the
House and of the court he was bound to give
His refusal was contempt. The court went
into an exposition of the power of the Legisla.
ture in regard to summoning witnesses and
also commented upon the peculiarities con-
nected with the Imprisonment of the respond
ent. The Jail could be used for all 'lawful
purposes" and this was one of them. The
court found the Imprisonment warranted, and
remanded Mr.. Burnham to Jail, to serve out
the remainder of his sentence, under the custo-
dy of the Sergeantat-Arms.

JOHN Brown IN CoNGREss.-According to
present appearances, John Brown" will form
the staple of discussion til S winter in Con-
gress, and shrewd persons already predict per-
sonal encounters as a result. Toombs, Keitt,
and Others of that stripe, will be sure to drag
personalities into the debate, and charge indi-
viduals with cooperating with Brown, and
they will be pretty sure of getting it flung
back in their teeth for their temerity. The
Republicans here, even, who are supposed to
be very moderate in their views, are exceed
ingly indignant at the shameful conduct of the
Presidential organ. Of course, the Republi
cans at the North feel equally indignant, and
they will not listen patiently in the House and
Senate to a reiteration of the malignant false
hoods which the Constitution has daily served
up to its readers for the last fortnight. WASH

house had been taken possession of by party
of one hundred and fifty of his Pensioners,
who, on going away, left behind them money,
provisions, wearing apparel, &C., amounting in
all to about $3.50, as slight testimonial
of their esteem for their faithful and beloved
pastor. Mr.. Faunce was taken entirely by
surprise in the matter, and expressed his graf
itude for these substantial tokens of favor in
the most feeling terms.

SETTING FIRE TO BUILDINGs.-A writer in

Commonwealth, the highest penalty, under

where occupied dwelling houses are primarily
set on fire." He corrects this mistake, and re-
minds incendiaries that it makes no difference

James Gardiner, who co-operated with
Clark in the murder of Barber, was appointed
