LEIGH-sTREEr BAPTIST CnURcH.-At the
conclusion of the Sunday evening service,
Rev. J. r. Garlick stated that he had re-
ceived the letter of the church requesting
him to continue to supply the pulpit Of the
church. He said that he would accept the
trust committed to his hands, and that all
the powers which God had given him should
be devoted to the cause of Christ and the
upbuilding of the church in that vicinity.
We heartily congratulate the church in
their selection of pastor, and confidently
look for great good as the result. We have
on severa, occasions heard this able divine,
and rarely have VIC listened to better OF
more instructive discourses. His sermon
on Sunday night was on the subject of pro.
crastination, and was replete with instruc.
tive argument and illustration.

about s2,500. A colored man named Jack
Lacy has acknowledged that he and an
other colorcd man, whose name is not
known, but who had been louuging about
the premises for several days, pretending
to be q fortunc-tcller, burned the buildings,
because, as he alleges, MIR. Deem, the
proprietor, refused to allow them to sell
sEacks on the grounds, and also to plumber
while the fire was burning. The unknown
man cscaped, but was pursued and arrested,
and both are now in jail.

CIRCUIT COURT OF THE CITY OF RICH-
nosD.-Aspecial term of this court is now
in session. His Honor Judge Alfred Nor
ton filed decisions in the following common
law and chancery cases yesterday forenoon i:
Zetelle vs. Myers and Cridland, &c.
In September, 1861, spiro Zetelle, having
obtained authority from the Confederate
Government to leave the country, went to
Europe, giving to the defendants, Myers
and Cridland, as bis agents and trustees,
full power to dispose of his real estate, and
to collect all the debts that were owing to
him. Amongst these was debt of $4,000
owing to him by Andrew Pizzini, bearing
interest from LIST November, 1860, and well
secured, and not due until lst November,
1865. The agents and trustees of Zetelle
sold his real estate in March, 1862, for
Confederate money, and in January,
1868, collected in the same cur
rency the bond of Pizzini, abating the
interest, and invested the proceeds, to-
gether with their other receipts, in Con-
federate bonds. The bill was exhibited by
Zetelle against Myers and Cridland, and
upon the first hearing was dismissed with
costs. Upon appeal to the Supreme Court,
the decree dismissing the bill was reversed,
and the case remanded back for further pro-
ceedings; and was submitted to Judge
Morton, of the circuit court of this city, at
thslast term, upon full arguments. On
yesterday he directed the clerk to enter q
decree for complainant against defendant
(Myers's administrator and Frederick D..
Cridland) for 50, 1858, with interest from
January 16, 1868, and against defendant,
Andrew Pizzini, for $4,000, with interest
