He occupied room No. 21, In which his baggage, consisting of a trunk and two carpel bag, was de dom ted on the day of his arrival. About one O'clock ef the same day, with bis fiiend he left his room with the door tusked, went out into the city, and returned again at about the hour of five P. M. He left the key of the room with the bar- keeper before he left the hotvl. Upon his return, he looked for his key, and hot finding it, went up to his room. Here he fround his door unlocked, and the key inside. He also discovered that hi own baggage, together with his friend's, had been broken open, and the contents strewn around up on the floor. He subsequently discovered that 'ho had lost clothing to the amonut of sixty-one dollars, and ten English sovereigns. The whole loss amounted to nearly one hundred and ten dollars. This action is brouaht to recover the amount of the loss. Thompson. J. It is a well settled rule of law that inn keeiiers are liable for the loss of proier ty deposited with them by their guests, whether the property be stolen or otherwise taken from their premises, and whether they be sit fault or not.

The law gives them a lien upon the goods of their guests for the satisfaction or their climes. On the other hand, it exacts from hem a vigilant watch over the property of those who entrust it to their care. The very moment a tierson becomes the guest of an inn, that moment the liability of the landlord attaches for the subsequent loss of his guest's property, and there is no limit to the amount of his liability.

" YELLOW FEVER AT THE S0UTII. This disease has made its appearance at Mont gomery, Alabama. The board of Health, on the 36th ultimo, reported five cases and one death, and; called upon the citizens (among whom, it Is stilted, a perfect stampede immediately took place) to clean their premises. They should have done this long ago, and not have waited until the dis ease appeared. The disease is said to have bro ken out at Jacksons, Mississippi, to a alarming extent. . At last accounts it had increased its ravages at Yicksburg. At Woodville and Yazoo city, Mississppi, it also prevails to some extent. Near Port Gibson Mr. McAIpine, planter, had diedrand several of his family and sixty of bis slaves were ill. At Alexandria, Louisiana, on the loth ultimo, there were thirty or forty cases ODIOUS DISCRIMINATION. We have been shown a letter from a merchant cf Salisbury, which, while it shows up the unjust discrimination made by the S. C. Rail Road Com pany against us in the matter of freights, affords a- strong argument for the speedy construction of the road hence, West. This merchant had to pay the following charges on a barrel of fish from this place to Salisbury ; . Wilmington to Kingsville, 172 miles, $80 Xingsville " Columbia, 25 " 75 Columbia " Charlotte, 110 " 10 Charlotte " Salisbury, 45 " 60 ,. Vv.' ' $3,65 Makes the charges considerably more than half the original- cost of the fish. t It win be seen -that whilst the Manchester road charges" less than a'half cent per mile freight, the SCv road from Ktngsvttle to Columbia charges 8 cents per mile, or over 690 per cent, more than the Manchester.- The charges on the other roads also are exorbitant These figttscs sufficiently demonstrate the imposition, (br it is nothing less to which the merchants of-the interior and of this place are subjected by the S." C.'road.- A' discri mination that amounts in reality to a prohibition; for the merchant7 at Salisbury commenting on the extortion declares his intention to abandon the mil road and have recourse to the old fashioned way of waggoning his goods, and we suppose that he is the type of a class. If the S. C." road could be governed by'arty otbcf than a purely selfish policy it would hasten to abolish- this odious and unneighborly discrimination. ; . - Herald of Thnrsdaf.

On Tuesday, Coroner Redding held an inquest upon the body of the wife of Mr. John Lewis, re siding iu Portland avcuue, Brooklyn, N. Y., who came to her death in the manner herein detailed : Her husband, who is a dagucrrotypist in Chat ham street, New York, has for some time past been prostrated in consequence of sickness, re sulting in occasional fits of delirium. During one of these spells, he proceeded -to the window oj his room, being on the third floor, and attempted to jump out. His wife, who was present, ran to prevent him. She caught hold of his body with a firm grap, but being of a small, delicate framp, and her husband a large and strong man, she was unable to keep him back, but on the contra ry, was herself drawn out of the window with him, ar.d both fell upon the flagging in the rear yard. The woman struck her head against a step, and fractured her skull to such an extent that she died almost immediately. The husband was also seriously injured, and now lies iu a pre carious condition at the City Hospital. Mr. Lew is is an Englishman by birth, and his wife was also a native of that country. They had been married three years, but had no children. . Town Subscriptiou to the Neuse River Im provement. NcwsBRV, N. C. Oct. 2, 1855. We learn that the case of R. N. Taylor, vs the Commissioners of Newborn and the Neuia River Navigation Com pany, was lately decided by the Supreme Court against the Commissioners. All tho objections iu the bill were overruled and the subscription de clared constitutional, atrl therefore binding upoo the Commissioners. Wc expected to lay the above decision before our readers to-day, but as the copyright of the reports of the Supremo Court is the property of the Reporter of that body, and as his consent to the publication of any decision before its regular appearance is necessary, and has not been obtain ed as yet, it is not in our power to do so. The report, in manuscript, is in town in the hands of the President of the Company. News. From the Baltimore American. Important to Shippers and Shipowners. In a case which terminated in the Superior Court between J. Madison Miller by bis next friend, r. Messrs. Atwell and Applcton, the question arose, whether or not freight piid in advance, where there was a failure to deliver the goods at the place of destination, from the loss of the vessel or any other cause not imputable to the shipper, could be recovered back. The Court decided that it could be recovered back, unless there was an express agreement; at the time of the . shipment, that the freight so paid in advance should 'be re tained in any event; and the fact that the ship per issued 'the freight is no evidence that it was paid by him at his own risk; nor that there was an agreement that the freight should be retained by the shipowner at all events. The case was on trfal from Monday until Thursday, when it was submitted to the jury, who returned a verdict yesterday morning in favor of the plantiff for Sool.OO. The case was ably and fully arguod by Messrs. Dallam and Marshall for the plantiff, and Messrs. Talbott and W. G. Brown for the defend ants. : ' ALWAYS DO WHAT 13 RIGHT." . ' The truly great ate those who always do what is right. To be withheld from acting wisely and conscientiously, by motives of temporary policy or fear, is to behave like a traitor to the principles of justice, A man should think less of what may be said of his conduct at the time, than of the verdict that may be pronounced a few years in ad. vance. It is by negtecting this, by sacrificing principle to expediency, that character is lost; and character lost is with difficulty regained. Besides( the first decline from right leads to others It is like the start in sliding down hill. ' But there is a worse feature than even in this suc cumbing to baseness, meanness, or wrong. Habit soon drills the moral perception, so that in time men come to perpetuate, without a remorseful pang, acts at which originally they would have been astounded. "Is thy sejfVant a dog that he should do this thing V is the indignant exclama tion of many a person, who eventually, commits the very deed he abhorred! "Arnold's treason grew up in his mind by slow degrees, nurtured by extravagance, and supposed neglect. Wash ington, always being rigidly correct, left behind a name, that will never cease to bo reverenced! To say merely that "honesty is the; best policy," and thus appeal to the selfish part of nature, Is a poor way to educate man to do right conscient ly. . Better the noble and higher ground that right should be done for right's sake. : A: Philadelphia Ledger. BLOSSOMING. The fruit trees near Charlottesville, Va., are said to be blossoming again.'

General Siiou's dh-patch to Lord Panmure, giving details of the full of Sebastopol, does not differ iu its Matement from the telegraphic dis itchcs previously received at London, and by the arrival of the America last. wetk. The En glUh attack was hd by Sir. W. Itodringdon and Lieut. General Markhain. ; There were 25 Eogli-h officers killed in the st tick on the Redan, and 126 wounded, including 20 dangerously. Another dispatch says that 1,200 gnns of large calibre have been captured, besides 4,000 of smal ler calibre, sixty thousand cannon balls, and a great amouut of gunpowder and other material of war. . Gen. Pelissier's latest dispatch says: We arc beginning to occupy tlie'towu of Sebustopol. The material left' by the enemy is even more extensive than at first anticipated." ' A disjKUch says that a detatchnicnt of French troops marched into Sebastopol on the 14th nit. and found the streets full of ruins and baricaded throughout. The obstables at the entrance of the pert were ahout to be removed, to admit of the entrance of ships. , A rejKM-t from Sebastopol says that when the Russians saw that the French wero masters of the Malukofi they blew up the I'.edao. All the towers were mined, but they bad no time to blow up the Mulakoff. Gen. Bosqnet was wonnded.but not seriously. : Dispatches from the Crimea to tlu 11th fay that the greater part of the southern fortifications left standing by the Russian have been blown up by the allies. RusMans begin to make their ap pearance jo small groups among the ruins of the town. At the latest accounts the allies were quiet, and no new attack had been announced It was considered almost certain that the Russians can- not bold their pos-ition on the north of Sebastopol, on account of the scarcity of provisions. ; It is said that the Czar, on hearing of the dis. aster at Sebastopol, sent a telegraphic dispatch to the King of Prussia, saying that Russia never made peace after a defVat. ' , It was rumored that GortschakotT bad received orders from St. Petersburg to evacuate the Cri mea on condition of their being allowed by Mar- sbal Pelissier to quit the north forts with arms baggage, &c. A letter from Warsaw says that as soon as Mar shal I'akienit.cli received intelligence of the fall of the Malakoff he despatched his aid-de cump, Deniidoff, to Sebastopol. It is certain that many more troops are to be sent to the Crimea by Russia. - A Important RtiiAor.

MASSACHUSETTS WHIG CONVENTION. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 3. During the ses sion of the Whig StaU Convention, yesterday, a letter was read from the Hon.

A SECOND WHITFIELD. Recent English journals mention that a young preacher of the Methodist Church is creating as much excitement a Irving and Whitfield did iu their day. The London correspondent of the New York Sunday Times says: "His name is Spuren, and he can scarcely have reached his 22d or 23d year, I should think.; His eloquence is extraor dinaryit overwhelms you with its force and bril liancy; and his voice has the characteristics wuich Whitcfleld's is said to have possessed a ringing tone, and capable of being tn-ard by an assem blage often thousand person." THE REWARD QF MURDER. As we rxpectrd, in the case of Clark, tried for the deliberate and premeditated murder of Wil lard W. Wight, at New Haven, the jury, on Thur day last, brought in a verdict of acquittal, on the ground of imauity. It will now be generally un derstood that when a man coolly shoots another he is not in his right mind, and thus tho death penalty is practically repealed. A few weeks or months iu the asylum will restore the man to rea son, and to the confidence of the . world, and all will be well, till in another fit of love-sickness, jealousy and passion, he sheds the blood of some other" fellow-being. Such is the justice of our courts and such the security of society. . ;,-; Buff. Courur. VIGILANT POLICRi Prompt Arrest.

AT SE3 A STOPOL On Tuesday, the lltb, the . day after th? recepi tioo of the news of the capture of Sebastopol, the day having been preyiously appointed for the pur pose, a public dinner was given by the principal inhabitants of the borough and county of Elgin, in Scotland, to Lieut. Gen. Sir Geo. Brown, who is a native of that county, and recently returned from ective service in the Crimea. The gallant General, in tho course of bis speech returning thanks for the honor done him, alluded in the following terms to the news of the victory .which had just been received r ' "We have not been able to move the army be cause we depended upon our ships for every ounce of provisions, every morsel of forage, and every truss of hay we consumed. It was impossible to move the army to pass the Tehcrnaya and march upon the Russians, without leaving at least nine ty thousand men upon the plateau to sustain our position there. We could not leave our ground and enormous material there to go out and attack them; they would not only have got our guns, but would have obtained possession of points of our position which we never conld have gained from them. They would have established themselves upon the high ground in the way they established themselves npon the low ground, and the conse quence would have been that we should have been besieged, instead of besieging them, iu our own harbor. We have now got possession of the south side of the harbor which iiin fact 11 the town and onr troops will be able with a small force to maintain the road to Mackenzie's farm. We can cross the Tchernaya, and we shall be able to fight our enemy upon open ground, whereas before we could only fight them through the town. I may say that till now we were tied by the leg. "The Russian army, it must be remembered has frequently been very superior in numbers to' ours. Mind you the Russians have not been ac ting in regard to their army as we have been do ing to ours, or as any other State in Europe has beeundoing; for, whiio we have been improving our ctvll institutions mainly, they have been pay ing no attention to any thing but their army. Russia is the most gigantic military Power ever seen npon earth. She has an artillery never equalled. J ust let me mention that while wc and the French brought up our siege trains, consisting of the usual four-inch mortars, tlicso fellows, brought against us guns which threw into tny own camp shot of no less weight than eighty-six pounds, while the size of their shells also out matched ours. In this country of ours wo hav fostered the spirit of freedom of opinion; but there is one disadvantage attendant on this. You meet with people sometimes wh think they know ev ery thing. There are a good many who fancy they know other people's business better than themselves. The consequence of this feeling is that we have bad more great Generals and Ad mirals at the clubs and coffeehouse than we had in the army and navy. It would be no very diffi cult matter however, to show that every move ment which has been made by that Eastern army there has been good reason for." , A SUfCIDE IN THE BRIDAL CHAMBER.

It ap peals that yesterday morning the Italian was ac costed by an unknown man, who asked hitu if he would like to ship for New Orleans at 620 per month. He replied in the affirmative, and was then invited to Iladden's house, where the "un kuowu" entered into conversation with Murphy, and soon the Italian was informed that the New Orleans vessel lay in the stream, and that a beat was rea ly to convey him on baard. He got into tho boat a-ith Murphy, bnt instead of being tsken to the New Orleans vessel," was conveyed to a Liverpool packet and ordered on boad. He refu sed to comply, but was compelled logo on board, rnd, on reaching the deck, was ordered aloft by the mate. He expostulated, but in vain, and the small boat returned with Murphy to the city. In the courxe of the day, the Italian managed to slip into a row boat which came' alongside, and thus regained his lihert '. The accused were taken before Justice Connolly and locked np, in default of SI. 000 bail each, to answer the charge. Jour. Com. T11E NEGROES AND6TH AV,CARS.

The Ohio State Journal notices the peach crop of Mr. Loughry, whose farm is on the Ohio river, in Adams county. Ten years 20 he set out ele ven acres with the choicest varieties of the peach, the orchard being the top of a high hill overlook ing the river.

On Long Creek, in New Hanover "county, on Sep. 14th, after a few days' illness, Mr. JOHN BRINSON, in the 6Sth year of his .120. ...The deceased bad been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for upwards of 23 years, and was respected by all who knew him. In this town, on Tuesday evening, October 3d, Mrs. Frances A. Sellers, wife of Daniel Sellers. She was endowed with more than an ordinary mind, and evinced, during her sickness, an unu 8ul faith in God. Her language, was beautiful ly expressive of her religious confidence and joy ! She was willing to die I There was not a cloud to obscure the prospect : or darken the bright vision of heavenly -felicity. The nearer she ap proached t e grave, the more powerful her exul tation. - j She triumphantly passed away to bcr reward, re-echoeins in her last moments the incomparable sentiment of the Apostle, " O death, where thy sting t 0 grave, where is thy victory I" Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." She has left an infant daughter, afflicted husband and distressed rela tions to sorrow o'er her death. To them we would say " prepare to meet " her in the " better land." Com.
