UNITED STATZB 7—On Saturday next an inter

sitting in equity, sets forth the following facts;
That by Inc enture dated August 5, 1852. William
Calhoun, of Philadelphia, granted and conveyed
to him a certain lot of ground, en Franklin avenue
below Fifth street, a yearly ground rent of 3713 75,
lawful money of the United States of America being
reserved to the grantor; that it was also provided
that if the orator (Broener) should at any time
thereafter pay to the grantor the sum of 21,312 50
lawful money aforuatel, under certain prescribed
conditions, the interest of Calhoun in tbe property
should cease; that he tendered to Mr. Calhoun the
sum agreed upon in "lawful money of the United
States, and being the legal tender notes thereof,"
but Calhoun would not receive the same. The
orator therefore petitions the Court to compel Cal
houn to accept the money offered. and to execute
the proper release. Wm. L Elrst, Esq. Is the
attorney for Mr. Kroener, and George M. Whar.
tcc, Esq. for the defendant.
ST. VnicaßT's Hosts.—A fair for the benefit
of this honey is now open in the Home, northwest

sick and dying andto care for the orphan.
There are many fancy and useful articles for dis
posal, for any of which the visitor may disbeirse
his mite. Among the most attractive there is a
magnificent monochrome likeness of Washington,
executed by the celebrated artist Rembrandt Peale,
and presented to the Home by Mrs, Peale. Also,
a crayon photograph of the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Wood in his pontifical robes.
We hope that this appeal for the orphans will not
be made in rain, but the that charitable and philan
thropic will visit the Home, and make their offer
ings for the little helpless inmates.

fruitless through the blundering of a juror. WLen
the jury retired one of the jurors left when the
party reached the sidewalk on the way to a room
for consultation. Be was not missed until too late
to bring him back. The jury returned to the
Court rocm ano reported the facts. One of the
jurors stated that the missing juror was a German.
and he supposed he did not understand one half of
what was going on around him. The counsel in
the case declined to leave the matter with - eleven
jurors, and the case was withdrawn. This morn
ing the juror returned and from his appearance it
was evident that he had no idea that he. had done
anything wrong. The Judge examined the juror
and it became apparent that his knowledge of the
English languge was very imperfect, as he could
state no part of the evidence in the case. The
juror was discharged.

Hors& —The House resumed the consideration
of the Raritan and Delaware Bay railroad bill.

poses burdens on the people, but cripples the Go
vernment in the performance of its duties. This
company, lie said, interferes with the election in
that State and designate who shall be elected.
Mr. Rogers (N. J.) remarked that the statement
was false from beginning to end.
Mr. 'Woodbridge took the disclaimer as true,
according to the best informati^n of the gentle
man, but be (Mr. Woodbridge) had been informed
that the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company
puts its foot on such nomintvion of candidates as
may not best serve the interests of the great
monopoly.
The subject went over.
The House proceeded to consider the special
order, mainly, business relating to the District of
Columbia.

highly important and startling intelligence that a

She was distinctly seen. from the decks of the

caster immediately got under weigh and stood-at
sea, by t failed to discover the stranger, who, when
last seen, was standing to the northward, under
easy steam going not more Chan five or six knots.
The French Admiral disclaims all knowledge of
the vessel. The English have no Such craft in their
Pacific squadron. The only Spanish vessel of that
class on the Pacific station is now at Callao. Hence,
who can the stranger bet The United States

LEWF3, Dm.. April I.
We had yesterday another Northeast gale, which
brought several more vessels ashore. The.achooner
Maria Foes, with coal oil. and a light schooner,
came on the beach yesterday nearly opposite this
place; another schooner went on outside the point
of the Cape. This morning we see en the beach
three brigs and six schooners. The bad weather
prevailing recently has prevented the unloading of
the vessels previously reported ashore. Nothing
has yet been done to the brig John OhrTstat
The brig Chicopee, 45 days from Porto Prays,
Africa, for Roston, came in yesterday, short of pro
visions, having been seven days on short allowance;
she remains this morning in company with lifteezi
barks and brigs and about forty schooners, which
the heavy sea prevents ue from boarding. Wind NE.
