been received in New York during the

place seven days previously, and in Phil
adelphia in six days. These facts com
mend themselves to the consideration of
our merchants and they should act ac-

MORE OF THE RING CAsE.-We thought
the case of the rings stolen from New
Orleans was settled yesterday, when the
Police Commissioners gave Mr.. Mar
chand his rings, and took receipt for
the same. But such was not the case.
Mr. Marchand telegraphed to his family
that he would start for home immediate
ly, and before leaving called on Sheriff
Winters to inform him that he had his
rings and the matter was settled. The
Sheriff did not think this was according
to law, and took Mr.. Marchand before
Judge Hunter, when the Court took pos
session of the rings. Considerable legal
sparring took place between the opposing
counsel, when it was finally ordered that
the prosecutor, Marchand, be held under
recognizance of $500 from day to day /"
during the term, with the understanding
that time would be given to notify him
at his residence in New Orleans, of the
day of trial, and in case the case was
not reached this term, that his securities
should renew his bond to the next term.
