The Supreme Court of the Slate, which commenced its term ml this place on the ; lCth January,! adjourned last Tuesday. A number ot suits large recoveries, were disposed of. The cau3e most generally known j as "The University case," involving U c right of Revolutionary claimants to recover of the Colleges in North Carotin an J Ten nessee, land, which had heen granted to them by a statute of North Citrolinn, , on warrants for which application bad ne ver been made by the soldier r his pro per heir, was argued before jut ge Catron and N. P. Smith Esq. the letter presi ding, under executive appointment. Judge White, who Lad, hear 1 an argu ment at the last term and givar, a very elaborate opinion in favor. of th ?' soldiers' right to recover, owing to in imposition, did hot attend this discussion. Judge ,mith having concurred! in opinion with j Judge White, (Judge Catron dissenting) a decree was ordered and cntc -ed on tbe; minutes.

First. A good, mule Uill do as much work -on a farm as a horse, while he retains his strength. But a mule will last, on the average j twice as 7onsr as a horse. The horse liable 'U he is to disease, is rarely fit for ef fective service after he has: bren em ployed twelve years; while r mule will, as frequently, wear for tw enty-four. Secondly. There isi a great differ ence between the quality r pd quanti ty of food required by bot i animals. The horse must be mire or 4ess supplied with grain during the whole year, or he will become thi i and tin lit for hard labor while the mule can subsist in summer on grass alone; and in the winter, when not worked, can feed on hay without and strength. From ears of Indian corn at sufficient for a mule osing his health four to eight meal, are each where recrularl y worked: while a horse will eat nearly double that quantity. Thirdly. A f mule need not be shod olener than once a year, during tne season of "-c while the horse requires shoeing four .times: makitip a saving on the lamer s bill alone of 82,62 (1.2 each animal. He observes further, that from actual experimertt, the total tnpntP nf feedincr I and shoeing a horse annually, is found lo be forty four dollars, whereas a mil le will cost twenty-two.

Pricei-current-We have given this week the prices current 'of. Norfolkj Pe tersburg and this place,' which will be corrected as often as required and pub lished, at Ieait semi-monthly. We shall occasionally add to this,1 the state of o ther home markets, together with such information from the Foreign, as may be interesting to our merchants and farmers. '- The Bible Cause. It may not be gene rally known that the benevolent, in vari ous parts jof the Union, are now making exertions to supply the .destitute of cur country with the Bible, and that they have determined that in one year from this ttrnc, no family in the United States; shall -be without a copy of the Holy Scriptures, if they will receive it. The Bible Society of Granville County, ' in tu;s State, we arc informed, have un d.eriaUcn, at t i.cir own expense, to supply ,f- , nt. t , , , j this couufv. B;h:es hare been purchased, . ' .

Any sums Ihey .may feel desi rous to betow,rwiil be received by the ilisti ibutir:g Agent?,- and ' promptly 'paid over to-the Society under' whose-directions. th'?)' are now engaged. That this is an impori'a'.it u urk, r.o one can doubt, who ivill contemplate the happy effects which have already resulted from the distribu tion of the Holy Scriptures in other parts of our. country. A great improvement in the moral condition of the community, has of late years been effected; and much of tliis improvement is to be ascribed to the. instrumentality of Bible Societies, anil o ther institutions growing out of them. Roanoke Tirade The good effects of our trade with Norfolk is daily seen and felt in this place- real estate is passing into the hands of those who purchase to improve; a large store, but the forerunner of many moroiwe hope, is now going up; two or three warehouses will be erected on the banks of the river during (he pres ent summer; the subject of building a wharf upon the plan of those used in the, West Indies, k under consideration, and tve understand, a sum niearly suflicient for that purpose, is already subscribed; capi tal is increasing, and from a correspon dence lately opened with a gefltleman of extensive business at the North, we have the prospect of one ornore agencies be inr established here to purchase cotton for the New EngUndj factories.. Every thing lhat.tcpds to fiicilitatc Ibis trade, is therefore, interesting to us; and our citi zens will be pleased to j learn, by the ful lowing paragraph, which we take from the Norfolk Herald, that the steam-boat in tended for the canal has been launched ind will, no boubt be well adapted for that kind of navigation. The .intere;ng spectacle fr the innnrhiiC ol a new steam noat, was hlbited on Saturday afternoon at, the ship yard of Mr. Murray, (the builder) ia Portsmouth.

Marine Improvement in Washington, We were much gratified the other day, at witnessing the great utility of the JSfarine Jlailicay in this place. The schooner Two Brothers, of Bath, in working out of Teachs hole, on her way to sea .unfortunately got a mongst the breakers, and sustained so much injury that it was with difficulty she was kept afloat until she arrived here. She was immediately placed on the rail-way, hauled up with her entire cargo on board, and thorough ly repaired in a few days. Under the old plan of heaving down, she would have been to unload, and loaded a gain; besides incurring much more expense and double the cletention. We really think our merchants are highly indebted to cur enterprising fellow-citizen, Capt. Farrow, for in troducing this valuable improvement amongst us. W ashtngton Times, Defalcation. The public have long been apprised of the removal of Col James Robertson from the of fice of collector of the port of Peters burg arid that irgave it as our opin ion that he owed his removal to his extreme political violence. We now learn .With regret, that Col. R is a defaulter to a considerable amount process having been served upon him, some time last week, at the suit of the United States; for about twenty five thousand dollars. We; forbear comeo ting on this unpleasant subject. Old Dominion Sound Doctrine At the Washington Jefferson Festival the following toast was given.- , ' i S By Mr. Clay, of Alabama. The dis tribution of the surplus revenue The best and fairest mode is, to leave it in the pockets of the people who made it the rightful owners. Mr. Clay is right. Ify's:doctrine is sound. Why should several millions, in the shape of taxes, be taken out of the pockets of the people, merely to spend by the Slate or General Governments, and their favorites?
