IMPORTANT CAsE.-In the case of w. F.
Purcell and others, against the heirs of John
Gibson. Of Virginia, the Supreme Court of the
State has granted a supercedeas, arresting the
Judgment of the Circuit Judge of Culpeper Co,
Va, in the case. This is regarded by lawyers as
an indication favorable TO the appellants, as by
the law of the State the Supreme Court has
no mower to arrest the judgment of the Court
below unless the decision of the lower Court
exhibits an error upon an examination of the
records. The parties in whose favor this act
of the Supreme Court seems to be- are resi-
dents of this city, the principal being Judge
w. F. Purcell, OF the Orphans Court of this
District The amount involved is said to be
between fifty and eighty thousand dollars

WALKER OFF THE COAST OF CENTRAL
AMERICA.-The N. o. Picayune has adyices
from Yucatau to the Goth ultmo
Gen. William Walker, of whose departure
from the island of Ruatan, on the 2tst of June,
we have had accounts. arrived off the Yucca
tan coast, en- route to Nicaragua, on the 1st ult.
He had with him five vessels and five hundred
men, all well equipped, full of spirits, and
amply supplied with arms, ammunition and
provisions. From Ruatan, off which island
the five vessels made their rendezvous, the
voyage was most prosperous one, and the
whole feet passed down the coast in splendid
style The expedition first came to anchor at
the island of CoZumel. off the coast of Yuca-
tan, where it remained, communicating with
the mainland and completing the preparations
for the expedition, till the 20th uIt. II then
set sail for Nicaragua direct, where it is be-
lieved, long ere this, 10 have effected landing
While off the coast of Yucatan the expedition
received large reinforcements of men, and was
amply supplied with provisions. From Yu-
catan there is no news of particular impor-
tance. The peninsula was, for the moment,
in the enjoyment of comparative peace, but
the commercial classes were still suffering
from the effects of the long and disastrous war
of races.

The young widow mourned her lost hus band
sincerely doubtless; but sorrow is not ever
lasting. and as the long years rolled past, the
mourning weeds disappeared, the roses on her
cheeks bloome9 again, and smiles played on
her rosy lips. She was young and pretty,
and suffers were not wanting. She married
again. Several years Of quiet bliss have passed
since the day she took a new companion In
life, and now, suddenly, the electric spark of
the telegraph, dying with the speed OF light
