LOCAL MATTERS.

AN INTERESTING CASE DECIDED.-The
City Circuit Court was engaged yesterday
in the trial OF the case Of Thomas Stuart d
0iS. Us. Roper and wife, the facts Of which
are Of a singular nature. The vile OF Ro-
per, the defendant, was formerly the wife
Of William Stuart, a noted horse-trainer,
who died in 1860. All the parties were
c0lored. william Stuart, by his will,
emancipated his wife, whom he had pur-
chased from Mr.. james Taley, and gave her
lot and house on the Mecbancsyllle turn
pike near the city. This suit was an action
in ejecimert brought by his heirs at law for
this property, on the ground that the devise
TO the wife was VOID. A statute passed in
March, 1853, rendered 4 free negro incapa-
bic OF acquiring by purchase after that time
any slave-the law allowing, prior 10 this
aci, a free negro 10 purchase and held his
wife.
The heirs Of William Stuart claimed
that he bad purchased his wife after the
passage OF tins act, and that the pur-
chase was therefore void. and he had no
right TO emancipatc her; that the devise
was invalid, and the property passed TO
his heirs, the plaintiffs in this suit, who
were his brothers and their children, " IL
liam having left no issue. 1t was contended
by the defendants that William Stuart had
less than ore fourth oi negro blood IN him,
and was therefore not a negro at all. and
that be had purchased lis wife before the
passage OF the act OF March, 1853. The
Jury brought in verdict for the defend-
ants.

There was quite good audience present,
and the opera a. presented seemed to give
general satisfaction. Sir. Cooper, the tenor
from Boston. was well received, and gave a
pleasant Interpretation Of the role which
was originally entrusted to him by The COM
poser OF the opera. His voice, though not
hish in character, is very agreeable and ef-
fectiyp. OF the other ladies and gentlemen
we have had occasion 10 speak very recently
respecting their efforts in this opera, and
we see no reason to modify our express
sions OF praise then given. While the au-
dicnce did not seem very enthusiastic, they
demanded several encOreS. and gave sensible
evidence Of their satisfaction.
