LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT Judge
CadNalader.-Jury trials were resumed In this
Court this morning.
The Unite StaIes vs.. Henry w. Lunt. The
defendant, who was the master of the brig Fannie,
on recent voyage from this city TO Pensacola,
and retuTn, is indicted for "embezzling, and
knowingly and wliuhy misappropriatlng" certain
property of the United Stales, viz ten tons Of
coal. 1he case was being tried this morning.
The evidence seemed ~ show that the vessel
Fannie was chartered by the Government 70 carry
a cargo Of coal 10 Pensacola. Two hundred aud
eighty four tons were put on board, and the same
quantity delivered at the navy yard, Pensa-
cOs, for which a receipt was taken by the de-
fendanti OF the proper authorities there
1t would appear, however, that the coal put on
board here as 2Si tons was really more for after
the discharge OF that quantity, as above stated,
some ten or more tons we're still left In the hold
OF the vessel This was permitted 20 remain, and
WAS brought back to Philade phia, This fact
being made known TO the authorities here, the
captain was arrested, the coal, which, il is alleged
was part OF the cargo shipped by the Government,
was taken possession Of, and this prosecution
instituted.
The defendant denied that he knew the fact
that all the coal had not been discharged until
after the vessel left Pensacola, alleging that tho
discharge Of the cargo was superintendent by the
Mate, and that, having a receipt for the sama
quantity received, he supposed that all had been
discharged II was further alleged that some
coal was in the hold of the vessel when the coal
of the Government was received. On trial.

SIGNS THAT FAILED.-All remember the story
Of the nn.keeper who, becoming proud as he
prospered, took down his sign Of the ASS, and
put up portrait Of George ~ In its place. His
neighbor Immediately raised the cast,off eff gy
and Sin this sign he conquered" The first land
lord, alarmed at the increasing popularity of his
rival, and understanding the cause, wrote under
meath the yisage Of His Majesty, "This is tae
real ASS"
But more ludicrous incident of the kind is
just now told at the expense Of the good Bishop
Of LANDAU. He took up his abode near the
head OF Lake Windermere, where the principal
inn had been known as the Cock; but the land
lord, by way of compliment TO his distinguished
neighbor substituted the Bishop as the new sign.
An inn.keeper close by, who had frequently en-
WED mine host Of the Cock for his good fortune
in securing a considerable preponderance of
visitors, took advantage of the change, and at
tIacted many travellers TO his house by putting
up the sign OF the Cock The landlord with the
new sign was much discounted at seeing many
Of his old customers deposited at his rivals esta.
blishmenti so, by way Of remedy, he put up, In

bishop, "This is the old Cock"
