The Cir cuit Court of the United States, for the District of North-Carolina, met in this city on Saturday last, and adjourned the same day, there being but little business on the docket. Chief Justice Marshall delivered a very lucid and elabo rate opinion on a question of law, reserved at the last Court, in the suit of Whilaktr vs. Freeman fox defamation. The defendant in that suit had pleaded not guilty and justification, and it was re served as a point for the Court to decide whether he had not depri ved himself of the benefit of the first plea, by entering the latter. The opinion of the Court was in lavor of the defendant, and the verdict of the Jury for $1800 set aside. A new trial however was granted to the plaintiff, with leave to amend the declaration. Raleigh Register. that he may long continue an or nament to the Judiciary of the State. Obs. Cotton Press. It has been for some time a desideratum with Cotton Planters, to obtain a me thod at -once simple and expedi tious, of putting into square bales this staple article of the country. Much was-at one time expected from the "Twin Lever Press" of Mr. Williams, but confidence in its suitableness for nlanters' nsn. has much declined in this part of me iMate. JLately we have un derstood that a more simple Press has been invented by a Mr. Jcr ncgan, of Wayne county, for which he has obtained a patent, lie has, we learn, already erected one in Wayncsborough, which pleases the proprietors better than a Twin Lever Press which they had pre viously employed. We hope, be fore long, to give our agricultural readers a more particular account of the invention, and the terms on which it may be obtained. Newborn Sent.

Mr. Lewis Musgrave, of Wayne coun ty, to Miss Alice Speight, daughter of William Fobhead Speight, of the for mer county. As this handsome pair agreed to wed, As many have before; May they possess Fair Sally's bed, And love forevcrmore. As Jacob diel in days of old, May Lewis do so now; Ami ev'ry guinea he earns in gold, Buy his dear wife a cow. lxL AHce dress'd in robes of silk, ,r , lth her Pail an pearls so bright; 1 ake irom each cow a quart of milk, ror their suppers ev'ry night. Oh! what is beauty but a flower, That only blooms t.o wither Living only through an hour, And then must die forever. May this fond couple live and die, And make that saying true; That people who together lie, Do not their bargain rue: And cheerfully, as formerly, Be innocently gay; And spend their time quite jovially, As life shall wear away.
