John A. Morris, a citizen OF New York
through his solicitors, Messrs. Semmes
a Mott. has fled bill In Chancery, In
the U. $. Circuit Court, against the
Louisiana National Bank Of New Or.
leans. the city OF New Orleans, VIM.
s. Petcrkin OF Baltimore, and James
Wadick, q citizen OF Great Britain. The
orator claims that he recovered In this
court two final judgments against the
said city, In aggregate amounting to $50,
600, with interest, etc, that the said bank
has in its possession pledged to 1t for a
loan to the city Of New Orleans Of over
$500, 600, 400 bonds Of $1,000 each,
which should be made liable for these
aforesaid judgments. The orator claims
that the said pledge made by the said
city to the said Bank is null and void,
because made for no definite sum and
made contrary to the act OF Con-
gress, approved June 8, 1854,
which prohibits banks from
lending over one-tenth OF their capital
stock, which OF this Bank was and is
81 900, 900; that said indebtedness of the
city has been long paid by the market
and other revenues. and the said bonds
are the property OF the said bank.
The orator prays that these bonds
may be delivered to the United States
Marshal, to be sold to satisfy executions
issues under said Judgments, and the
moneys collected be paid over to the
parties entitled to the same, etc.

PRESgDEST BUCHANAN.


In an elegant mansion, near the Ar
Iington Hotel, in this city, reside two
ladies Of the olden aristocracy--Mrs.
Freeman and her sister, Miss Coleman.
About the latter lady q little romance
clings, which makes her interesting.
She was the second and the affianeed
bride Of the late President buchanan,
his first love having died In her youth,
and until he met Miss Cole
man he was almost recluse
from ladies' society. He was engaged
to her when sent abroad as American
Minister To the Court OF st. James IN
London. At that time Miss Coleman
resided In New York. He returned 10
this country on visit, and on the even
ing he arrived Miss Coleman was giving
u grand entertainment. He was fatigued,
and instead Of dressing and paying MS
respects to her Immediately, retired 10
his room, and early next morning cailed
to see her. She had taken offen5e az
his not calling the evening before ana
refused to see him, and they never met
again. What regrets were felt the wofio
has never known, but many An angry
impulse has wrecked the happiness OF
men and women beyond reparatlon.-

and shown around. The classes were then
called up in rotation. Better order and

not pupil in Miss Dennison's room but
is classified; IN short, l will just say evcrv-

She is fully competent for the position
which she now holds, and is deserving q

Mr. Editor.
As there is now before the Legislature a
bill for the protection of the lives of miners
in our State, I desire to say just few words
with regard thereto.
Having mine coal in this county for
twenty six years, ! know that protection is
much needed. Pure air and plenty of it is
what the miner wants for the good of his
health, and good air he ought TO have,
But there is another great trouble with
which miners have 20 contend, viz water
in headings and rooms. This is another
health destroyer; working in wet places
makes miners old men when they ought to

The weekly report of Spence G. Co.,
Manchester, Eng, Feb. 10, notes a
continued improvement in prices of
chemicals and fair prospect for still
further enhancement, both from an
increasing demand in its northern
European ports and considerable re-
duction in the supply by reason of the
strike among the Tyne Chemical
works.
