Death of Judge Daniel. It becomes our most painful duty to announce the death of the Hon Joseph John Daniel, one of ihe Judge of the Supreme Court of the State. He died, after a short illness, in this city, on Thursday evening last and his remains were attended to the grave, in the city burying ground, by a large number of our citizens, on Sunday afternoon last. We copy below, the Tribute to his memory, of the high Judicial Tribunal of which he was so illustrious a Mem ber. SUPREME COURT. February 12. 1848. Court met pursuant to adjournment Present: the Honorable Thomas Ruf fin, C. J., Honorable Frederick Nash, J. On the opening of the Court, the Hon. James Iredell presented tha following Proceedings of the the Bar, and reques ted their Honors to order them to be entered on the minuter: A; a meeting of the Bar of the Sup reme Cour', held in the Court Room on Friday, 11th February, 184S, in conse quence of the death of Judge JOSEPH J. DANIEL: On mation, Hon John II Bryan was ppointed Chairman, and Perrin Busbee Secretary. Hon Jamet Iredell moved that a Com mittee of six be appointed to report Res olutions expressive of the feeling of the meeting. The Chairmen thereupon appointed the following gentleiuon viz: James Ire dell, Charles Manly, H. W. y untcd, George W. Mordecai, George W. Hay wood and Henry W Miller. -Mr Iredell subsequently 'reported in behalf of the Committee, the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. Tho Members of the Bar of the Su preme Court, now in attendance have learned with deep grief, the great loss which tiiis Court ai.d the Country have sustained in the death of the Honorable Joseph J Daniel. A Judge so learned in the Law, so nAtlortf in riti I.... : . ! ... his liiresugiiiioiis, j purposes, j n licijiic iii lenmer. ana so nrnpn.n in is acts, could not be called from his labors, without CHUsing the most sin cere sorrow m the hearts of those who have so long honored Hod loved him. Such orrow wc now feel, and but feebly express in the following Resolu tions: 1. That in the death of the late Judge Daniel, the Supreme Court of North Carolina has lost a learned and able Jurist, and the State an eminently good and us ful citizen. 2. That in token of our respect for his memory, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty das. H. That ihese proceedings be preen ted to the Court, at their first meeting, with a request thfct they be entered on (he minutes. 4. That the Chief Justice be reques ted to communicate a copy of the fore going Resolutions to the family of the deceased, with ihe assurance of our sym pathy with them under their sud be reavement. JOHN H. BRYAN, Chmn, Pexiun Busbee, Secy i , " W MC" Wn' Jus,T UUI iU on be hall ol the Court, renlied na In nwn. 1.. l -i t m r i ne surviving Members of the Court, ; receive with deep kensibilitv. the Pro ceedings ol the Bur in roiiunemoraiioii of our late and lamented Broiher. They but express our own emotions up on the melancholy event, and are no more than a just tribute to the unsullied purity of his personal character, his learnings, and long and useful official la bor. He served his country, as a Judge, through the period of very nearly thirty-two years; and he served acceptably, ably, and faithfully. He had a love of learning, an enqui ring mind and a memory uncommon!) tenacious; and he acquired and retained a stock of varied and extensive knowl edge, and espeeialy, became well versed in the History and Principles of the Law. He was without arrogance or ostentation, even of his learning: had the most unaf fected and charming simplicity and mild ness of manner, and no other purpose in office, than lo "execute justice and maintain truth," snd, therefore, he was -patient in hearing argumcn', Uborvnu and calm in investigation, candid and instructive in consultation, audi impartial and tirm in decision. With these properties and his long experience, it is no wonder, that he fhould- have proved so eminent on the Bench, as to endear himself to his Asso ciates, gain the high respect and regard of the Profession, and the confidence of the Country. He did so to such a de gree, that few men, if any, were in life more honored among usor in death, e think, will be m.. re. deplored. Fully sharing in these semWn; nd feelings, the Court readily joins in the expressions of then, and yields-to he wish of the Bar, thit these proceedings should be entered on the minutes; and also communicated to the bereaved chil dren of our late venerated Friend and Brother. Mr Mordecai, on behalf of the Bar, reqeusted that the response, of the Chief Justice to their proceedings, might also he spread upon the minutes of ti.e Court: -and it is ordered acc ordingly. E, B. FREEMAN, Clerk. From Ihe Scat of War. By the last arrival from the Brazos vre have received several private letters, from which we glean a number of items of interest that have retched us from no other source, and which we have not seen elsewhere. Information had been received across the count iyfcat Sallillo, which would indicate . rone little work ahead for the American tniops sent from San:a Fe to take possession of Chihua hua. On the 15th of December ihey were encamped at El Paso, from whence it was understood thev would march a bout the latter, pun of Jatji,;,rv. The Mexicans in that part of the country, are making every effort u, oppose their oarL-n wun a strong force. At first they did not intend urn kin unv resis tance whatever; but, emboldened by the long delay of our troop ni Ei Paso.they set to work in good earnestfcnd have now a considerable numerical-force and twelve pieces of cannon. Should our troops countinue on their march, they will probably have a second edition of Ihe battle of Sacramento. Our rsaders will doubtless recollect that some months since, our correspon dent, J ED.,. with Gen Wool's column, mentioned that Mr James Collins, com monly known as -Squire Collins, who was interpreter to Col Domphan's com mand, and behaved with Uie greatest gallantry at Sacrau.eui.. and Brazita, had started across the cuutrv in com pany with Col WztA and a suialj party of less than a dozen f. r tiantua Fe. Tho expedition was regarded as extreme ly hazardous, both on accuiirit of the Indians, and Mexicans; but the old squire and his veteran companion, who in eighty four years of age, were un daunted and determined. The party were heard from a .short time since; and we regret to say they were taken pri soners at Presidio-del Norte by the treacherousconduct of a Mexican padre. When near a place called San Carlos on the Rio dtl Aorte they encounteiej four Mexicans, out on expedition after Camanche horses, and inquired of them the distance to Sau Carlos, where they wished to puichave provisions. Thy Mexicans represented the disiance as short, and offered to guide them thither. Ou arriving at San Carlos, they were unable to satisfy their wants, and were advised to proceed to this Pres;dio-del-None the Mexicans telling them that thero was no garrisjn there, and that they had nothing to fear. The squire and party determined to foll .w their advice, a.id jet out, but in the mean time, as afterwards appeared, the Mex icans had sent off a counei to Presidio, with the information th it a partv of Americans were on their wny lo'thai place. Ignorant of this nVewirtn.CK tucv in due lime arrived "at "the l'iei dio were kindiv recen. .; ;v :hc old mi- dre. and cousideied th . j., s ne ri. n-! ly sa e.

While qu,e y' appeasu-g their hunger, a party ol Mexicans rushed in, siezing ihtir arms, and took the whole party prisoners. The old priest appeared to be quite delighted with the success of his ruset but received any thing but blessings from the party, who regarded him as a second Judas Iscariot. The squire and companions were all conveyed io Chihuahua, and incarcera. ted in prison, where they still remained at last accounts. Old Col Ward was ve tv ill, and some of the foreigners in the place offered to become hi security; out tne Mexican authorities inlumanlv ..r. i . . i retire io release mm. N jkw York, Fes. 12.

Though part of ihe food sent there last year, consisting of nee, Indian corn, meal, ccc., is now being re turned to England, in many parts the people are represented to be in a state of destitution. There have been some seiz ures ol fire-arms, pikes aud powder in Tipperary ; several convictions foi mur ders; and the Lord Lieutenant, in iiddi tion to the proclamations which he has issued.has been delivering some sensible post prandia remarks.

It was expected in London that the Bunk of England would determine on a further reduction in its rale of discount, but no alteration was announced on the separation of the directois, on the 20th ult. The spirit of insubordination which so long pervaded the south and west of Ireland has lately, it seems, manifested itself in the httherio peaceable coumv of Wicklow. The army in Ireland is about being augmented. Several people have already Jied of starvation in the ilUlated county of Maw o, which is, perhaps, the poorest in ihe province of Connsught.
