In the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Inglis presiding. Morris Flvnn vi. George Uarclny and Simon P.

Hull'. This was an action of trespass under the act of 1812. It was to recover damnces for illegally seizing a horse of the plaintiff's for rent, in violation of the law which provides that, in addition to the articles now exempted by law fiom di tress for rent, there shall be exempted from such distress, and levy, and sale, such necessary i household furniture and working-tools, nnd team 1 owned by any person being a householder, or hav-: ing family, for which he provides, to the value of not exceeding 1 .10." In this case, the plaintiff rented a stable, on which rent was due to the defendant Barclay, who procured a landlord's warrant, nnd levied on the pliiintid 's cart-horse, and had it sold. On the part of the plaintiff, it was contended that the i horse came under the articles exempted by law under the term team, and that therefore the de fendants hnve committed a trespass against me plaintiff by levying on it. The court barged the jury.

The first inquiry was, whether the property levied on was of that sort exempted by the act of April 1 8 Id. The ex-emption extends to $U0 worth of household furniture, tools, wearing apparel, nnd team owned by the lodger and if $1.10 worth of articles were left, although other articles enumerated amoncsl those which nre exempt, nre levied on, and taken away, it does not rerder the person taking them responsible for doing so. If the articles are not owned by a householder, or man having a fumily, the law does not exempt them. Much criticism has been resorted to in relation to the word and I have taken some pains by looking into dictionaries and other sources, to ascertain the meaning of that word. But before I stnte my conclusion as to its legal meaning, I 11 observe that it often happens that statules are not drawn up with clerical correctness, or logical or critical propriety, Irom the persons wno do it not pay ng sufficient attention to these matters.

Therefore, the great and important ques-lion to be ascertained is, as to the sense in which the legislature intended to use the words. It is said that the word team' cannot refer to the horse of a carman, as the word team is used by the best writers as referring to more than one animal, and cannot be held to mean a single horse nnd I confess thnt, so far as the usage of this word by old English authors, it appears, lrom many examples, that the word -had originnlly only a plural sense. It is, however, said that the word is not derived from the Latin, but from an Anglo-Saxon word, which means yoke, nnd that it does not refer to more than one animal. Counsel says that such is the proper use of the word, and I think it is, at least in the present case al though ordinarily, when we speak of a team, we mean more than one animal, dui we musi iook at what was the object of the legislature in pass ins the law in which this word is used. The ob ject of the statute was obviously to prevent the poorer class from having all their little chuttels taken away from them, or be deprived of the means of procuring subsistence.

With this object in view, we find that the law has exempted furniture and a team' from being levied on; and I think, under that view of the Inw, a horse must be held to mean a team. But for the remarks of counsel, I might have been inclined to think that the legislature meant more than one horse by the word team. But the act was perhaps drawn up by a person who resided in a rural district, and therefore used the word team. But if asked what iHH the wnnl meni in the case of a farmer, who was so poor that he possessed out one would most probably say that the word team' meant hut one nnimnl. And.

though I say it with some doubt, I think the word team means a single animnl. If, therefore, in import and judgment oi luw, this horse was a team, then the next inquiry is, was the pi linlirT a carman. It appears Ihnt he had the mayor's license, aaieu in bclnres nnd, althonuh be did not do much work with his horse, and had offered to sell it, his having done so does not tnke away the privileges conferred on him by this act. As to his being a householder, I think that man who rents the upper part of a house comes under the denomination of householder. If you comu to the conclusion that he was a householder and carman, then the question will be, were there sufficient articles eft to amount to lau.

xi mere were, men tlm hnre was ri ehtfullv taken. As this is a spe. einl stntnte. taking awav the cnmmon-law right of the landlord, it is the plaintiff 8 duty to make nut his ease to vou nlain. and without douM.

This was an action upon a policy of insurance upon a frame house at the corner ol the third Avenue, which the defendants insured for the plaintiffs, describing as to be kept for a The house took fire and was consumed and in the progress of the fire, an explosion was caused by a barrel of gunpowder in the grocery. The defendants contended that the policy was annulled by reason of the plaintiff's keeping powder, an extrn-hazRrdous article, on the premises insured. But his Honor, having declared it to be the law that the rights of the plaintiff must depend on the question whether or not it is customary' for groceries to contain gunpowder, and the plaintiff having proved such to be the custom, a verdict was rendered for plaintiffs for $1,500. SUMMER RESORT.

Mr. Sroos'EB. Sir: Among the numerous and delightful places of Summer resort, which I have occasionally seen or heard extolled, there is one and healthy spot, which I have never yet seen publicly notieed, either in "prose or rhyme." I allude to Highland House," kept by Mr. Schenck, situated about a quarter of a mile from tbe Telegraph Station, on the hills of Neversink. Here yon wiil find a good, comfortable, clean house, with very commodious accommodations for families or single persons, kept by a plain, respectable family, who take pleasure in making their guests comfortable and happy orderly and respectable company and though last, not least, a right good table.

Therefore, to all who desire to enjoy healthy and charming retreatto ramble through fields and woods climb hills, or explore the crater of a volcano, and re-tarn laden with lava, tte.to inhale the bracing breezes of tbe broad Atlantic or to enjoy from the cupola over Mr. Scbenck's bouse, one of the most extensive and beaatiful pro-pec ts that eaa well be imagined I say.gs to the "Highland House" all these pleasures eaa be enjoyed there.

Q. Hi-NT' MlH.HANlV HUGAtlNE. illia eMcemeJ an valuable periodical, which always makes its appearance with the first duy of the month, is before us for August. The table of principal articles shew its uuM richness of PublisbeJ occounti or the appearance of the Comet of February and Murch, are reaching us from various dis'ant parts of the enrlt The world seem, have excited wonue an eVt.ry jf lt min- diJ noi. ir me iiuuwii i gence, who i could remain unmoved in nenouuiiK i- i -La iI.h Great reator, sucn a uispwj must be indifferent to his own future destiny.

Astronomers express the opinion that the Comet of February came in contact Willi the sun, and they also assert that stars were visible through its nucleus, oth of these may be correct, but then the question arises what is Comet Is it a terrestrial body in a state of combustion, which has, by the increased heat of its interior fire, dis. solved its icy poles, and been forced by this heat, which has expanded its atrrosphere, from its orbit, and asum. one of grenter eccentricity 7 If such be the fact, a contact with the solar orb would do violence to the perfection of the great system. I am inclined to indulge the opinion that the facts recited above, as nted by the astronomers, of actual contnet with the sun, and of a transparency of the nucleus, aa correct, nnd thnt the Comet is not a solid body, but is the reflection of the lisiht of an ignited body. The interior of our Earth, which has been (no doubt) in state of fusion for thousands of years, and now throws out its light at the NoMh Pole, (which was in 1842 divested ot its incrustations of icy moun-' tains,) and this light expanding in width as il increased in length, has been reflected upon some peculiar surface, in the angle of which it was visible to us, or perhaps in Ihe angle of its incidence.

The nucleus of this reflection might come in contact with the sun without doing harm, and stars would not be eclipsed by such a body. I am aware that this is theory altogether new, nevertheless, I have faith in it, and give my premises with my conclusions. Almost every vessel which arrived from Europe from March to Otober, 1842, saw ice on the Atlantic. It was abundant flowed early, and continued to flow late, and must have divested the arrtic pole of its frigid covering. Some mighty convulsion must have put it in motion and kept up its flow.

It will not, I presume, at this day, be disputed, that the interior of our Earth is a body of liquid fire, nnd that we live upon its hardened shell under a canopy of enduring and perpetuil frost. The individual whodoubls that the atmosphere, 30,000 feet above us, is not as old as the North Pole, need only ascend one of the highest mountains, as far as he can get, in ihe hottest day in summer, and even under a vertical sun, to be convinced thnt the cold increases in the same proportion as we ascend in distance from the Earth's common surface and with regard to the heat beneath, he may determine this by examining the comparative temperature of different wells, all of which increase in heat in exact proportion as they increase in depth. -M- coji.no.. coiweix.
