PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
We copy the following from the Marlboro Ga
zette Of the 1st inst
The ad journed term of our Circuit Court clos
ed on Saturday, the 2lst ultimo, after session
of five days. Judge BRENT presided with dig
nifty and marked ability, and proved himself
every way worthy to succeed our former excel
lent Judge We heard but one expression in
reference to the new Judge, and that was in
praise of his conduct on his first appearance in
ttat capacity in our Court
The Grand Jury was busily engaged during
every day Of the term. Indictments were
framed as: negro man named Lewis Swames,
slave OF l'coora Gambia, of Montgomery county,
TOR kidnapping F. NJ. Bowies negroes, and a.
satnst William Cage, for obtaining money under
false pretences. His case, on application, will
be removed to Charles county for trial.
The Court adjourned to meet again on the
first Monday in February.
Negro Ephrain slave of Mr.. Bennett F.
Guynn, of Piscataway District, was tried for
setting FIRE to his masters house-found guilty.
aud will be sentenced at the February term.
Those acquainted with Our respected fellow
FcltIzen, Mr.. j. j. Iarboe, will be gratified to
learn that the Grand Jury, after patient ex-
amlnatlpH into the facts of the case, declined to
flr,i an indictment against him for shooting a
man named Ogden on the day of election last
summer, in Spaldings District Every fact and
circumstance in the case shew plainly that he
acted clearly in self-1efence, and we are reoice,1
that a fair aid impartial jury of his county
found no hesitation in exonorating him from
blame.

combined expedition against Mexico, took pos
session Of Vera Cruz on the Eth of December
without opposition on the part of the Mexican
authorities. The Spanish flag now floats over
San Juan de Ulloa, the Governor of Vera Cruz
demanding and receiving respite of twenty
four hours for the purpose of enabling him to
evacuate the city. There was great rejoicing at
Havana on the receipt of the tidings. The prin-
cipal ships of the French cooperating squadron
had reached Havana and the English contingent
was expected to arrive there by the Both of De-
cember. The special correspondent Of the New
York Express states that at the public reception
which was given to General Prim on his arrival
at Havana although the British and French
alone were permitted to join the Cubans in do
ing honor to the Spanish General, two Confede-
rate flags occupied one of the most prominent
positions, mingling with the flags of Fran Q,
England and Spain.

MARYLAND LEa1sLATURE-Wedn Is,
inst, was the day designated by the Constitution
for the regular meeting Of the Legislature Of
Maryland, but no quorrn, it appears, was pre-
sent. On Thursday, a quorum being present,

wait upon the Governor to inform him that the
Assembly was ready to receive any commune
cation he might have to make. The Governors
Message was shortly afterwards received and
read. The document will be found in this paper.
In the Senate, on Friday, the bill repeating
the act relieving the Mayor and others Of Balti-
more from prosecution for acts done in April
last, was read third time and passed In the
House, Mr. Magruder introduced resolution of
thanks to the General Government for the man
ner in which Messrs. Mason and Slidell were
surrendered; also complimentary to Mr.. Seward
for the ingenious manner in which he apologis-
ed, yet did not apologize, for the taking of the
two ENJOYS from the Trent. Mr.. Phelps OBJ
tanned leave for the Committee on the Judiciary
to inquire into the cxpedicncy Of reporting bill
requiring all officers, State and local, and traders
and dealers. to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States. A message was received from
the Senate asking the appointment Of joint
committee to make it obligatory on all officers
under the State to take the oath Of allegiance.
On Saturday. there was no business transacted,
IL, the Senate that calls for special notice. In
the House the habeas corpus bill was made the
order Of the day for Thursday to-day The
resolution Of thanks to the General Government
for surrendering Messrs. Mason and Sidell was

pone his execution indefinitely by having a writ
sued ont, first in one county and then in another.
The bill was intended to restore the old laws on
the subject. On Monday the proceedings of the
Legislature were not of any general interest.
few bills eff local character were passed, and
others advanced to second reading. The
Committee On Elections reported against the
passage of the bill to prohibi. the sale of liquors
near the pclls on election days. The report,
however, was laid Oh the table.

ment Mrs. Greenhow and other females now in

Washington correspondents Of the New York
press that several other ladies of the highest

ban Of the Government police, in consequence
of what is termed their reasonable practices,

the dismal quarters at Forts Lafayette and

DEPARTURE OF MEssRs. MASON AND SL1DELL.
The British steam gunboat Rinaldo, with Messrs.
Mason and Slidell and their two Secretaries on
board, sailed from Provncetown, Mass, for
England, on Wednesday afternoon, of the 1st
inst. The Boston Journal, referring to the re-
moval Of the four prisoners from Fort Warren
says:
The arrangement for their removal was very
quietly made. and nothing was known in this
city in regard to the affair until the hour arrived
for their departure. The steam tugboat Star
light was employed by the Government to CON.
vey the prisoners to Provincetown, Cape Cod
where they are to be transferred to the British
gunboat Rinaldo, which arrived at that port on
Tuesday night.
III accordance with the above plan of releas-
ing the Rebels, the tugboat Starlight left this
city shortly before ten o'clock on Wednesday
forenoon and stopped at Fort Warren, where
she took on board Mason and Slidell and their
two Secretaries. After receiving their baggage,
&C., the tug proceeded on her way to sea, leav-
ing the fort about eleven o'clock. The whole
affair was conducted without any display, in
perfect quiet, and in the ordinary manner OF
conveying passengers.
The Rinallo carries Is guns, and her unex-
pected arrival at Provincetown created quite q
sensation, many believing she came on a hostile
mission. This is the first English naval vessel
that had been at that port since 1916.
We see it stated that the Rinaldo will 90 nc

The War In South Carolina.
The Charleston Courier, discoursing of the
operations of the Federal feet on that coast,
remarks:
While it is impractcable to defend every. ac-
cessible point open to the sea, and we are pow
erless for the present to dislodge the enemy from
the islands they now hold, our hope is that the
few successes the marauding parties meet with
will SO emiSalden and delight these plunderers
that thew will attempt to penetrate the country
for some distance tps.m their: armed vessels
Reckoning upon the probability of those more
daring and extensive incursons, companies are
being organized for the express purpose Of inter-
cepting and capturing those bands OF marauders.
Thoroughly acquainted with the region in which
they will operate, armed with trasty rifles, these
partisan corps of ohivalrc spirits will fall upon
the foe at, "a moment he looks not for them, and
their blows will be as sudden and tsrrihleas the
stroke of the red bolt of heaven.
This service is admirably adapted to the ma
ture of the country skirting our seaboard,. and
the character of this mode Of warfare is exactly
in keeping: with this habits and <predilections Of
