The only positive appointments are Sir J. Copley as Lord Chancellor ; the Duke of Clarence as Lord High Admiral and the Marquis of Anglesea as Master of Ordnance. It will be an interesting fact to know that Sir J. Copley is an American by birth, "being the son of the famous painter of that name. The Turks have been completely dis persed before Athens, and the Greeks have complete possession of that place.. Dealing with Slaves, Meetings of the citizens f . Wilmington, in this State, have lately been held, in order to express their disapprobation of the highly penal law passed on this subject by our ast lLe gislature. A committee was appointed to draft a Memorial to the next Legisla ture praying for a repeal of the iawyor at least its objectionable feature's, so far as regards the town of Wilmington. We are favored with the following par ticulars of the barbarous murder in Ran dolph County, briefly mentioned in our last Register. pert j of a white person; the effect of the acl hi ission of this record would ad mit irtdi rectly that kind of testimony which could not be admitted directly $ and therefore that the record could not be read to the jury as evidence. The prisoner, however, having conserited'to be put on his 'trial, had admitted the conviction of the princi pal to that effect ; it would be necessary for the state, to prove his guilt by compe tent testimony on the present trial. Another question having arisen, as to the confessions of Scott ; the judge deci ded, tnat the confessions, if voluntarily , made, would be proper evidence to estab lish tha guilt of Scott as to this case. The case was ably argued -tyr the counsel, and the Judge delivered his charge to the jury at -considerable length. The jury hen retired, and in two or three hours returned into court and reported that they could inot agree. The Judge then recapi tulated the testimony, and made some comments ; the jury again retired, and in, about an hour returned a verdict of not guilty- The trial commenced on Wednesday morning, and did not terminate until be- ween two and three o'clock on Friday morping. ttreat interest had been excited, and much difficulty was experienced in getting a jury ? more than one hundred; & fifty havingchallenged themselves for cause, and five or six were challenged by the prisoner. 1 he evidence, though not sufiuciently direct, itappears, to convict: the prisoner, is said to have been such as convinced eve ry one present the prisoner was guilty.' A case of some novelty, and which has excited much interest, is now under dis cussion in Baltimore County Court. It is a rule heretofore laid, at the instance of some of the Pewholders, upon the Trus tees of the -Associate Reformed Conirrea tion, of which the Rev. Mr. Duncan is minister, requiring them to shew cauo why a Mandamus should not issue to them commanding and enjoining and prohibiting them from further permitting the ltev. Mr. Duncan to occupy the church, or the pul pit thereof, &c. Mr. Wirt, U. S. Attorney General con eluded the argument in the case of the As sociate Reformed congregation in Tammany-street, on Saturday afternoon, says the Baltimore Patriot, in one of the most elo quent pieces of oratory ever delivered at the bar of our Court. Mr. Wirt was op posed to the prayer of the petitioners, and after dwelling for somefime on the case, concluded wiih the following quotation from Macbelh's soliloquy, which absolutely electrified the whole audience : tune since ilismdsted m a gale, ,weren i port, the former nearlj readj:foK sei,UW later 'waiting ahe arrivatsvrherta!it'i from the Uriited States : the Spanish friH v gateasilda, which was re tii i I jr,o jFC !ia fl csVit ton, it was said, hadbeeq de&patcfiedVoru J tf tliemviJetifXhonpsonv the .mftf' recently captured, belonging vtovliVMiii:-i-v can sqadron were stiUconfineifVoVVT;--": -there was very lifffd prospect of theiVng - speedily exchanged. .
