ALL ABOUT F1V CENT. - -Important RaiLkoad. Cask. Ap impot (ant railroad case is on trial before the Su perior Court, sitting at Norwich. It has occupied several days. . The plaiutiif is Crocker,a seafaring man who was ejected from the cars between New London and Norwich. The defendant is th New Ion don and Witlrfmanlic arrd PaJmer Hailroad Company. The Xacts are - substantially that Crocker, in'Deceraber last, wafftrd to go from Norwich to New London. Upon .the arrival of the freight train he went to the office to procure a ticket, and found the -door closed, as is usual oft the arnvarof the freight train " The fare i 50 cents whtn .a ticket is bought'; without a- ticket the charge is 55 cents. y . ..- When "Crocker was called on by the -conductor, he stated that he, had applied to the ticket office and found it closed, and that he had but 50 cents with which to pay his fare. The conductor told him ihtt he must have the additional five cents or leave the cars. Tlie sUjerintPndent,'who was on the train, was appealed to, and con nned the decision wf.ike conductor. Four or five men, employed on the train, were then called tfpon, and assisted rn thrusting Crocker out. His knee-pan was broken, but whether by the fall or by his efforts to get on the train ajrain after i was in motion does 'not clearly appear.; He managed, , by crawling, to reacha house three-quarters, of a mile distant. The arguments of counsel occupied neurly twu days, and the court-room was thronged from the beginning to the end of the trial,. The charge of the jury, which is re ported at length in the -Norwich Courier, was very clear and very fair. The Judge maintained that a railroad company Was compelled to carry all persons that applied for passage and offered tapay the required fare ; that "it could make no exceptions, though a passenger may so conduct as lo justify the company in putting him out of the,cars Crocker had oflered to pay the price of a ticket, and no more ; and he .claimed that he used all diligence to ob tain a ticket, but could not, inasmuch as. tbe office was closed. .The jury were to. inqnire whether he had reasonable lime to obtain a ticket, if he had not there was a, trespass from the hegiunjng, fort in case there was not time, Crocker had a right to go to New London At the price tendered namely, 50 cents if he had time, then he was bound to pay the extta charge of five cents. The Judge furtht r charged that if the company had a right to put Crocker O'U of the cars, it was for the jury to inquire -whether only so roach force was used as' was necessary to effect that object whether he was kicked, and whe'her bis knee-pan was broken when he was thrust from the cars or when he attempted to get on again. -" If he had a right to remain in, he had a right to get on again ; and in that case it mattered not in what way the injury was Inflicted, the company would be responsi ble !r damages- If -the defendants' acted, ihronch their ngents, wantonly, and were feckless of doing injury to tu plaintiff, then the jury would ,riye damages not only . sufficient to compensate tbe plaintiff for-his bodily injury? but sufficient also, to .protect Jbe public from . such acts., of Jiegligedce And wantonness hereafter. 4 - The Jury in the above case, after sevfe ral hours' deliberation, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, giving him damages to the amount of f 8,200 . . ; THE DUKE )F CAMBELIDGE The Duke of Cambridge, one of the .young scions of the English .nobility,. it ha been stated, recently exhibited symp toms of insanity. , The Lon Jon correspon dent of the Boston Post says; r - It seems that some strangeness of con' duct was noticed aftT the battle of the . Alma in the Duke of Cambridge,' but-n-thing of a decided character appeared tta til after the defeat of the Russians: at In-kermann.-t Ruling across the battle ' field and observing a " wounded Russian endea voring to shoot un Enirhsh soldier, instead of running him through on the spot, the Duke began to reason with him, and, his aids coming up they overheard him saying that be should 'use all his? influence at headquarters lo have him hanged I" As the dead were being carried by, the Duke began to remark, u That man is not dead, set htm erf his leirs. he'll Vailc" an.l unnu rLo?dllagIan'setnonstrajing with'htm np: xy the lli.titBe tor sucn. bunoonery, he- - re- plie.d, 13uffonery, my lard I anratiKtzed.

I). 1) , late of Ilrooklynj New Tork, in a lato sprcch in that city, at a meiing to pro mote the cause of Missions in ilie youth cm States, has told some hom-titiilis f f the meddling clerical hiisy-liodirg of il s North, which are remarkably well timed. Dr, Cox is one of the rnot venerable, talented,' and pious divines in the Pre byterian ministry. We rondor rfjat the "3000" will say of him. W give the following : " We ought to be tuperioe to political influences in all our religion, and preach the Gospel." Instead of this, bow many revered, pettifogging-- statfMnen and pseudo divines arc causing the ttfjls nf men on the Lord's day lb eat sawdust for bread, and afche ior sulvaiion, wln! they, faithful watchman, are blowing the trumpets of anti-Nebraska, nirtl ma king zealous demonstatiou about any thing but the truth as it is in jVmis. Some of thorn always hbllow, and there fore sonorous, never scriptutial to any particular eitetit, with no thorough' thcologyj or knowledge of their vc. ation, find slavery a prolific " and very easy theme for declamation, and quite a , re source from scripture, as also a piaud and specious relief from the toil of thin king, and of studying, and so of preach ing the whole council of God. This is a clpar proMiiution of their ollicc blind leaders of the blind !" '"Some ministers of the Gospel known' to ns have on their death Iwds mourned iu agony, when they saw their time gone, and their strength squandered, and no pood done, and no blessing realized, or Ihe result of that great hoax of ihe devil, Aliolicion. in which thev were criminal ly betrayed, and sulf-alluwcd to be led captive 10 his will. More such penances and attritions are getting mature ior observation and for record. It is time (or the wise to retreat, while they may, and be at lictter business.

AN UNWELCOME VISITOR In Louisiana lately, an immene panther ten feet nine inches in length and two feet seven inches in height, entered the houm; of a planter a little after sundown. One cloudy evening whilst he ar d bis family were making preparations to seal themsel ves at the supper table, a large and strun-u looking beast was discovered approaching the bouse by one of the children, who im mediately spread the alarm; but before any thing could be done in the way ofrccoiinoi. tering, this unusual visitor had inlonlucnl liirnmlf into the dining room, v. hen undis mayed by bis terrific appearance, a fierce baule ensued between the innintet of the bouse and the infuriated panther. 13 dint of the most resolute eoursge and presence of mind, they succeeded in whip ping him oUtht premises, nor, however, bo fore he had maimed two valuable does up set the supper table, and done other da ma, pes. After cresting the field in the direc tion of a J-irge cane thicket, finding he was still pursued, be tacked himself up apuiimi ihe fence as io defiance of his pursuers, and as if ready for and ether frolic when our hero, who bad by thi time succeeded in procuring a gun, shot him dead.
