several years ago created such intense excite
ment, is now before the New York Court OF
Appeals, at Albany, and much interest is fel,
III the final judsmen, of the Court. The fact
of this case are briefly these:
sin November. 1850. Jonathan Lennon
wi h his wife and eight slaves came to New
York. from Virginia, to seek a direct passage
10 Texas, where they proposed to settle. The
presence OF the slaves having been discovered
writ Of h1heaS corpus was obtained from
the Hon. Elisha Pare, then q Justice of the
Superior Court, but since deceased, inquiring
why the n groes were deprived of liberty
Upon the return of The writ. and after a full
hearing of the arguments presented by MI
Lemmon's counsel, Judge Paine ordered the
slayes 10 be discharged. and they We're dis
charged accordingly. Mr.. Lennon at once
carried the order OF the Superior Judge into
the Supreme Courr, upon a writ OF certiorari
where, after a contest of years. the general
was. in lo57 appealed 10 the present iursdc
aid Of the new light afforded by the bred Scot
opinions"
Mr. Charles O'Conor argued the case this
week, tor Mr. Lennon, aud Messrs. Evar's &
Blunt conducted the defence. The question
at issue is, as TO whether Shareholders car
carry their slaves, as properly, through III.
Stale of New York under the protection o
law. The argument was concluded on Wed
nesday, and decision may be expected in .
days.

hard, tough texture, takes ink without blot

Spear also exhibits specimens OF paper which
he has made OF the " wild indigo" or "coftee
