A LONG, LAZY SESSION, AS UsUAL--No SHOW FOR
QUARTER sEssIoNs-JURIEs MUST AGREE OR
sTARyE-oPPosITIoN TO COUNTY DIvIsIoN-ETC.
!recial Correspondence of the Commercial.
Dover, Feb. 13.
The sixth week of the session OF the Legisla-
ture has closed, aud according to the joint reso-
luton of both Houses only two weeks yet re-
main. There is no good reason why all needed
legislation could not be transacted in that time,
and yet it is generally conceded that the session
will have to be prolonged until the middle of
March. The bill providing for
COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS
for New Castle county, which was introduced
early in the session in the Senate by Senator
Riddle, and which passed that body with
30 much unanimty, sleeps soundly in the hands
of the Committee on Revised Statutes i'll the
House, and only needs reporting from that com
mittee to be promptly defeated. One OF the
reasons urged against it is the Increased ex-
pense, but 1t is thought by many that there is a
powerful influence in the background working
against it for reasons not made public The bill
is generally acceptable to the Courts and Bar,
and we understand no general remonstrance has
been made. Early in the session Mr. Riddle in
troduced a bill to provide for
FEEDING JURIEs
while protiactedly deliberating upon yerdcts in
cases. This apparently good measure is also
up several times in the Senate and amended
so as to meet objections urged by Judge Hous-
ton who resides here and closely watches every
bill which has any bearing upon the Courts. We
presume that iuries must still either agree, cs-
agree or starve. The
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
bill providing for a division of New Castle coun-
ty was read for the second time yesterday and
referred TO a special committee consisting OF
Messrs Bird, Collins, Houston Fyle and Broada-
way, and 500 copies of the bill were ordered to
he printed. The determined opposition OF
Messrs Biggs, Baldwin and Handy, makes such
a large breach in the New Castle delegation that
the lower county members can be excused from
taking sides either way.
GATHERED cRCAiBs.
A divorce bill has passed the House notwth-
standing the determined opposition at first man
fested against even receiving petitions upon
that subject.
Apetitlon was received sfrom Baltimore hum
dred, yesterday, asking for the privilege of hol-
ding public worship in school house. could
mention this to show the character of some of
the legislation asked for from some sections.
The petition was read and referred, but it il
likely no more will be heard of it.
There is general regret that the ladies Tenn
perance excursion from Wilmington had not
been postponed a couple of weeks longer, at
which time a bill might have been matured and
put upon its passage. 1t is expected that the Ia
dies will be admitted into the House of Repre-
sentatves and an address made by a lady Helec-
ted for the purpose.

AN OYSTER aLUT AT MAHoS's RIyER-FRozEN UP
SENT BY RAIL Tc PHILADELPHIA.
The excessively cold weather OF the last few
weeks has been unusually severe on the oyster
trade, and has made the bivalyes exceedingly
dear. just at time when they are the most
craved.
The freezing of the Delaware has prevented
oyster boats from ascending the river without
being cut in pieces by the floating ice. In con-
sequence OF this, about eighty boats, loaded with
oysters, have for the last few days been laid up
at the mouth of the Mahon River on the Bay,
seven miles east of Dover. The oysters being
frozen it became necessary to get them into
market in that condition, or suffer great loss.
as an oyster when oncs frozen and then thawed
is entirely worthless.
Under these circumstances, Dover was soon
oyerhowed with oysternen, who had come to en-
gage teams to haul them in sacks to the Dover
depot where they were shipped i'll cars for Phila-
delphia. Seventy-6ve. teams were advertised for
at 80 so per load, which the farmers within reach
eagerly supplied, and all day yesterday, the road
to Mahou's Landing was lined with teams OF all
imaginable descriptions. In the mean tin g, oys-
ters took sudden rise in price in the markets
and went from $40 per thousand to S15 enough
to more than pay all the increased expenses OF
reshipment by the cars.
The exctment made things quite lively about
Dover, and was enjoyed by the teamsters and
oystermen, both of whom were making money

NEWARK, Feb. 10.
The farm of Thomas Brook in Mill Creek hum

tel, by Sheriff Lambson, for $4,000. The sale Of
the property of Uriah Drake was postponed for
thirty days, or to about the 18th Of March.

President Purnell only received notice yesterday
morning, and it WAS quite disappointment.
Two petitions are in circulation asking the
removal OF the P. W. & B. depot. One desires
its location near its present site on this side of
the road the other asks that it be placed at the
P. & d. junction. The P. W. & B. Co. own
three acres of land at this junction, purchased
few years ago for depot purposes, it is said. The
petitions will be sent to the directors of the

Prof. Bates and HIS Lectures.

To a.e Editor of The Commercial:
Mr. Bates appears to think that whatever can
be done by man is never done by any spiritual
agency. This is his mode Of reasoning. Be-
cause he can apparently turn water into wine by
natural means, therefore Christ never did turn
water into wine by any other power. And
because one or two men could have rolled back
the stone from the door of Christ's sepulchre,
therefore no angel or spirit ever did it, And
because man can unbolt doors and let prison.
ers out, therefore the apostles were never let
out Of prison by any other means. Aud, because
any one can knock on table, certainly no spir-
it ever knocked on table. And because he can
duplicate by natural means, many OF the mani
festations, he thinks that all of the said mani.
festations are produced by the mediums. What
do all men and women cease to be honest and
upright when they become mediums2 Certain
ly not. Then, when person of undoubted pur.
ity OF character, eminently plous, and whose
honesty is unquestionable, says he did not knock
on the table, nor on the door, neither did he
make the noise you heard-will you believe
him? Yes you will, if you are an honest man.
II you are not you will measure him by your
own mind, and doubt his word, if he happens to
be q medium.
How far above such men towers the fearless
moral grandeur of John Wesley, the founder OF
Methodism. In aluding to the experience OF
hs father, he says; Sat six in the evening he
had family prayers as usual. When he began
