CONVICTED OF MANsLAUGHTER ON THE
HIGH SEAs.-In the United States Circuit
Court on Saturday John Riley, sailor, was
tried and convicted of manslaughter on the
high seas. The crime was committed some
months ago in the harbor Of Vera Cruz on
board the ship Marblehead. Riley and some
messmates obtained leave of absence, and
going ashore, enjoyed themselves in true
sailor style. After imbibing freely, they
were returning in small boat to the ship,
when dispute arose between Riley and
ore Antonio Lappori. The former swore he
-as the best man on the ship, and the other
said they would see about it when they got
aboard. AS soon as the small boat touched
he ship they sprang aboard and went aft.
Riley pulled off his shirt and said he was
ready. They went to work in rough-and-
tumble fight. The deceased was getting
the better of his antagonist, when the latter
drew jack-knife and succeeded in cutting
his throat. Lappori died almost instantly
He was brought TO Richmond, and at this
term of the court indicted for manslaughter.
He will probably be sentenced to-day.

CIRCUIT Court OF RICHMOND LARGE
NUMBER or SUITS DISPOSED oF-THE DIS
TEGCT CoURTs.--Judge Meredith adjourned
his court on Saturday to attend the District
Court which meets in Williamsburg to-day,
and that which meets in Fredericksburg on
the 18th instant. lie will be absent until
the pa instant.
Judge Meredith disposed of large
amount cs business and perceptibly re-
duced his docket during the term just
ended. Between three and four hundred
common law judgments, and between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred decrces
and orders IN chanccry were entered, be-
sides motions and other current business.
The business Of the court has largely in
creased since the death Of Judge Lyons,
nearly al the civil suits, both at common
Law and in chancery, being now brought in
the Circuit Court. The litigation in this
court is OF heavy character, the records
of the cases often very voluminous and in
volVing legal questions Of great difficulty.
In addition to this, the court has exclusive
jurisdiction Of all cases to which the State
is a party, all proceedings against pub
lie officers and all questions touching
tho collection Of the public revenue In
view of the large number of cases in the
court, and the difficult character Of the liti-
cation, it is remarkable that the business
OF the court has not accumulated. Judge
Mercdith's large experience and prompt
dispatch, aided by an able and efficient
bar, has alone enabled him to control it.
The District Court of Appeals, which
meets in Williamsburg to-day, is composed
Of Judges Moncure, Meredith, Thomas,
Pitts, Christian, and Critcher.

vate mansions Of Virginia. 1t was built
shortly after the revolution of l77G by Ro-
bert Rives-perhaps the largest landed
proprietor in the Old Dominion. 1t and all
around it are fashioned after the broad
substantial English style. There is a park
studded with mighty oaks, monarchs of the
forest, some of them many hundred years
old, their ancient limbs reaching far up into
the sky, where they groan when shaken by
the storm. At the bottom Of the garden,
walled in by crumbled brick which came
across the seas from England, and amid
picturesque MARKS Of age, lies the family
cemetery, crowded with the graves of three
generations.
g The deceased was born amid these
scenes, played as child beneath these
ancient oaks, and heard, as a child hears,
their whispers and groaus in the wind.
Now, his corpse was carried beneath their
great overhanging boughs and laid to rest
unto the day of resurrection. The Rev.
Mr.. Withers, of the Episcopal Church, the
pastor of the neighborhood, performed the
funeral services. Many of the neighhors
who had known the deceased when boy
attended mournfully on the occasion. But
the most touching, the most beautiful, cir
cumstance was to see standing at the grave
old family servants who had clung TO their
former homes, where they were once slaves,
some of them now Cray-headed, attending
the corpse of their young master with
totteripg steps, or going up 10 his brothers
TO tell them how sorry they were for poor

Compressed Air rs a No,iy. p,w.-

Alluslon has already been made to the recent
experiment in New Orleans OF driving cars by
ine ans OF compressed air instead OF by hOfss
power. The following particulars will be read
with interest:
The little four-horse power engine which
was used on Monday was scarcely powerful
enough TO compress eighty pound of air 20 the
squ3re inch into the large cylinders that arr
placed upon a car track for experjuental pur
poses. In front OF the truck, about where the
dllver STANDS, was very neat little engine
that took hut small space, and was readily
managed by one person. II being imposs.b bic
70 get much greater pressure than eighty
POUNDS win the small engine. the experiment
was mace with that, the truck MOVING ranidIy
along, Notwithstanding the cumbersome irol
cylinders and large crowd upon it, In the car
stanon mere Is 70 be an ordinary steam engine
OF shout sixty horse power, which is 10 be used
for the purpose Of COMPRISING air into the two
reservoirs, which are 10 be made of paper and
nlaccd on the top OF the cars. On each car
there is TO be small engine, operated by the
ar IN the reservoir, in the same manner as
steam, and giving the same amount of power
as was required TO compress the air
The great difficulty which has ALWAYS been
encountered, Of raoiating the heat in comm
ing air, has been overcome nv q most Ingenious
invention, which renders the use Of compressed
snr perfectly practicable. The engine to be
used on the cars can be managed by a man of
ordinary Intelligence, and the cars started and
stopped much more readily than where ami
mus are used; the brakes can be applied At
once and the engine reversed il necessary to
step suddenly. Each car on starting will have
three hundred pounds pressure of compressed
Mr, which will &c amply sufficient 70 run it
9Ght or ten miles, and the air exhausted from
the engine can be used for ventIlating pur-
poses, as escaping after having been compressed
almost without heat, At naturally absorbs the
he at from the surrounding atmosphere, thereby
producing cold. Thirty pounds of pressure
VIII be more than equivalent to the power of
one mile. Zach car by this process can be run
shout seven dollars cheaper per diem than
n present, there will be less danger of acct
dents, and more uniform rate OF speed can be
maintained
