CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE.-This distinguish
ed gentleman, accompanied by his daughter
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon by
the train from Goldsborough. He seems
to have greatly conciliated the kindly feel

urbaIity and for his conservatism as man

that class of the community who are not
generally considered of excitable tempera-
ments. Yesterday q meeting of the mem
bers of the bar of those denominated the
fins was held, and committee appoint

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-The
Court met pursuant to adjournment, Chief
| Justice Chase presiding.
Most of the morning was occupied in the
discussion of questions in Admiralty cases
and appeals from the District Court. Opin-
| ions of the Court not yet given.
| Messrs Bull, of Greensboro and d. r.
| GOOdloe, of Warrenton, were appointed
United States Commissioners for the Dis
trict Of North Carolina, to take acknow-
| Judgments, &c.
| The criminal docket was next called up,
and the Court proceeded to the case of the
U. S. vs., Edmond Due, charged with ille-
gal distilling. The case was continued, on
affidavit of the defendant.
The case of W. d. Ritter, charged with
the same offence, was next taken up, ar
gued and submitted to the jury, who re-
turned verdict of ''not guilty"
In the case of the q. S. VS.. A. B. Trey,
for distilling, the jury returned a verdict
| of "guilty," but recommended him to the
mercy of the Court.-Ral. Sentinel.
SEIZED AND So1D.-The first official act
of Deputy Collector Upchurch after being
appointed, was to seize ten boxes of un-
stamped tobacco belonging to the loyal
Door-keeper of the Senate and loyal Route
Agent on the Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad,
j. 7. Ball, which was sold at auction in
,
cents per pound. We should think Ball
was making money enough by his two Of
fees, to say nothing of the prospective
profits on the tobacco, to neutralize any
temptation to dodge the tax legitimately
due from him. But old habits are hard
to overcome, we know from the difficulty
we have in breaking oursef of chewing
tobacco.-Ral. Sentinel.
SUPREME CoURT.-The Court met to-day
at the usual hour. Present Pearson, ..
j., and Reade, J. The other members oi
the bench, Messrs. Rodman, Settle and
Dick, having gone to Chapel Hill to attend
the Commencement The Court adjourned
without transacting any business.
