S. Service, be* 1 tog in his 83d year, os tho timo of his deooaie. The fuQoral took place at Norfolk on Wednesday with nil the honors duo to .his exalted rank, and with every token of respect for the high esteem in which he was hold as a citizen. The procosaion was very largo, consisting of tho Marina guards from the Na> vy Yard and tho sovoral ships in commission, Offi cers of tho Navy, Seamen, Officers of tho Army f(omFortress Munroo, City authorities, friends and relatives of the family, the volunteer companies of tho City aod (ho pupils of the Norfolk Academy. The Norfolk Herald gives the following sketch of tho life of the deceased voteran i Commodore Barron commenced his naval career when but a youth, under the aospices of his father, who hold the rank of “Commodore of all the arm ed vessels of the Commonwealth” of Virginia, during the war of the revolution, and until the State navy was disbanded. Subsequently to this period, he pursued his profession in private service until the formation of our present navy, In 1798, in which he received the commission of Lieutenant, and serv ed under Commodore Barry in tho brief war with France, of that period, with distinguished credit.—- I In 1799 he was promoted to the highost grade in the | navy, and ordered to the Mediterranean, under the | command of his eider brother, Commodore Samuel | Barron; he signalized himself for scientific seaman-1 ship and nautical skill, and was esteemed as one of I the most accomplished and efficient officers, and one 1 of the best diaciphnaries in the sorvice. | No officer boro a more conspicuous part in the or-1 ganization of tho present navy than ho did. He on-1 ginated the first Code of signal ever introduced in | tho American navy. He served actively afloat, with I few intervals of respite, until 1807, when goiog out tn the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, Captain Gordon, as commander of the U. S. squadron tn the Meditcrraa D«ao, that ship was treacherously way laid and at* I tacked within our waters, and at a timo of profound peace, by one of the vessels of tho British squadron then lying in Lynnhavcn bay, of greatly superior force. We forbear to recapitulate what is now his i tory. Though thus, by a sudden fitality, he became the victim oi advorso circumstances and influences, he stands honorably acquitted, by the sootence of o court martial and the impartial verdict of his coun trymen, of all imputation of his courage and de portment as a brave and accomplished officer in that affair. In later years his’services were advantageously employed on shore stations. He was in command ol the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and bad tho honor of rccomng Gen. Lafayette, “ the Nation’s Guest,” when he visited that place in 1824. He was also an invited guest, with Colonels McLanc, Hager, Fish, and other surviving officers ,of the Revolution, at the groat Fete st Yorktown, given to Gfio. Lafay ette, by the State of Virginia, Oct. 19, 1824. He waa next transferred to the command of the Norfolk station, at that interesting period when the dry dock and many other improvements in tho Gosport Navy Yard had just commenced; all of which came uq* dor his supervision. From this station he was called to the superintendence of tho Naval Asylum at Phil adelphia, where he continued until the wasting hand of time had mdicated the necessity of his retirement from active sorvice, when be chose Norfolk, the home of his early friends, {and among whom he had frionds, indeed f) as the place in which to pus tbo remnant of bis days. In social fife as in his official elation, Commodore Barron was governed by a highsonae of honor, and boro himself with digoity, courtesy and affability which gave a charm to his society. And although of a temperament not to brook tbo slightest indignity, there was in his nature all the milk of human kind ness end benevolence, and the promptings of ardent friendships and enduring attachments, which, when once formed, were hold sacred to the latest hour. In his family circle ho was cherished with un apcikablc fondness and affection; and this whole community, in which he has boen for so large a portion of his life beloved and esteemed, will ever honor.and revere bis memory.

They were some of Governor Bibbs’ old bluuks, Mr. Thomas Sfehceb, of Ross county, a cattle dealer, aod who, we learn, is a relative of Parcels, had just come to the city and put up at the Franklio House, where j Parcels also was stopping. Parcels filled one of these blanks with tbe name of Sfskcbr in it, saying at the time that be had had considerable fun with these blanks, and intended to have more. He handed this blank to Sfehceb, which seems to have earaged him beyond measure. Some indis creet friends, doubtless, increased bis excitement. The testimony shows that after he received the blank warrant he went out of the room, but re* turned soon and asked Parcels if he had filled that warrant. Parcels answered “ yes,” and with one hand on the knob of the door, as if about going out, he turned his head to Sfehceb and smiled, when Sfehceh shot him through the back with a revolver, killing him almost instantly- Persons, when they are disposed to joke, should be careful with whom they joke. Some will bear joking, others will not. This, though, was one of the most outrageously, criminally, foolish acts un the part of SpEircEa that we ever read of. He doubtless feels the full force of what his passion bos done for him. On bis preliminary trial be fore the Mayor, the Statoman says, he appeared very much dejected and crushed in spirit.

Tbe State improvements arelikely, during the pre sent year, should no unforeseen disaster occur, to yield a revenue considerably exceeding that of any former year. The receipts at the State Treasury, from canal ana railroad toils, for the months of De cember, 1849, and January, February and March, 1850, compared with the corresponding months of the last fiscal year, show an increase of upwards of $96,000, and should this ratio of increase continue, the receipts for tbe year will exceed two millions of dollars, against $1,713,848 last year. The following is a comparative statement of the receipts ofthD two years during the months indicated : December, January,.. February,. March,.... The following, which we find in an exchange pa* per, is still more extraordinary than tho “spiritual tappings:'’ . A “rapping manifestation" has been made in this city during tbe past week, which completely dissi* pates the “ knee-crackiog” theory of the Buffalo doctors. The account, though hard to credit, is at* tested by eight or ten respectable citizens, who were ear-witnesses. .The “manifestations'" were made through a “medium” from Auburn, who has been passing several weeks in the city. After some con* versation io the usual manner, by rappinga, the ‘spirits* were requested to give “musical demonstra tions," which had been done on a previous ocean sioir. Very soon the company were astonished at hearing distant musiq, similar to, but decidedly supe rior to that made by the iSolian Harp. It is stated by those present that voices were also heard, though too much mingled with the instrumental music to be plainly distinguished. By request the music came nearer, aod at last was brought into the room occu pied by tbe company. Also by request, “ Sweet Home," and several other familiar compositions were sung and played by The “spirits.”..

That a plea in tor, averring that the materials were furnished on a credit which bad not yet expired, is bad, because such fact goes only In suspension of the remedy, and should be pleaded in abatement. 3. That a plea in bar averring that the plaintiffs were sub-contractors, and that the builder had contracted to receivo payment “partly” in goods and “partly” in money, in a specified timo, not yet olnpsed, te bad, be cause such fact can bo pleaded only in abatement, and because of tbo uncertainty in averring tho mode of pay ment. 4. The right of lien is founded by the law on a contruot to build, and the sah-contraot is dependent on the prin cipal one; so that the sub-contractor’s remedy is limited in Its extent by the terms of tho contract between the builder and the owner. , , Itseems thatthe pleadings, verdict and judgment may be adapted even to a case where part of the payment is to be in goods, and they are not yet due. act. pa. sun nan ron materials run-aSusD port THE EUECTIOtr OP A HOUSE The owners of the house plead—-Ist.

The aver ment,that the plaintiffs have no claim on this account, is therefore nothing more than a denial of the legal conclusion. It is very like the plea of nil debet to an action of debt on a bond. Its viciousness is scarcely increased by concluding with a verification’. The second plea does not deny the facts upon which the right of lien depend; but avers matters tending to show that the plaintiffs ought not to have execution thereof. It avers that the time of payment has not yet arrived, from which the pro.- per inference is that the sci. fa. is prematurely is« sued, and the prayer should be that the writ be quashed. It is a plea in bar, founded upon matter of abatement. The first plea is vicious in not stating specifi cally the amounts to be paid in goods and money respectively, and the kind of goods and times of payment. This, too, is a plea in bar and hot in eutpeiubm of the remedy. Can the facts therein pleaded be relied on either to bar or to suspend the remedy ? This, is the substantial question of the cause, and to this the argument was chiefly directed. Pint. Suppose the facta set forth in the plea amount to a defence, do they bar or only suspend the action? The best position in which the owners of the building can ask to be placed, is to consider them as having made the contract themselves with the sub contractor, os to the time and mode of pay ment. Surely the lien law is broad enough io its terms to allow a lien even with this stipulated mode of payment. The lien then stands os secur ity for the payment in thismode; and not until a failure thus to pay, does the party acquire a right to the remedy by sci. fa, and then he may claim a judgment for the payment in money. To hold that a lien implies an tmmediale right to a sci. fa., would be to declare that housebuilders are not bound by their contracts, and to hold that a con tract, payable in goods or on time, vests no right of lien, would be to disconroge all liberal con tracts. The sci. fa. calls upon the defendants to show cause why the claim ahould not be levied of the building. This plea docs not meet the claim of lien, bnt merely the present right to en force iL It is, in form, a plea in bar, and, if sus tained. will defeat the lien. It should be a plea in abatement. Even on a lien payable by instal ments, part of which may not be due, I see no great difficulty in framing the pleadings, vervnet ond judgment in such a manner that the contract shall be enforced according to its terms. Nor does the difficulty seem insurmountable where part of the suspended payments are to he made in goods. Borros, April 2a Thus these demurrers must all be sustained But as the informality of the pleas may readily be amended, and the counsel have discussed the question which would have to be decided, if the first plea were a pica in abatement, it is not im proper to decide that question now. Secondly. Are sub contractors in the erection of a house affected as to the time and mode of pay ment, by the contract made between the owners and the builder? The law creates a lien “ for all debts contracted for work done and materials furnished” for the erection of the house ; and this phraseologs -proves that this lien, like all analogous liens,’is founded on contract express or implied,. And here, con trary to the rule as to 'Vhtfr lienß, the law, in another clause, gives p-ffien even in favor of a sub contractor. On, uvhrtft principle is it founded ? It miutft’ug'on contract with the owner directly ocimdircctly; for it la only thus that one man can ever acquire a claim upon the property of another. And in this way the connection is plain. The owner contracts with a builder to erect a house on certain terms, and the builder makes a sub contract with a material man to supply the ma terials. The chain of relationship consists of but two links, the second of which hangs by the first, and can bear no greater weight. The sab-cons tractor comes in by reason of his direct contract relation to the builder, and the right of lien of the former for hia . claim, is, pro tanto, substitu tionary to that of the latter, As against the own er, the terms of the principal contract, and, as against the builder, the terms of the sub contract limit and qualify the lien of the sub-contractor, ao as to prevent bis claim from abating the terms of either contract. And it is because the lien of the sub contractor is by way of subrogation to the right of tho builder, that the latter is made a party to the proceeding. The justice of this limitation of the right of the sub-contractor is very plain, fpr if it were otherwise no man could ever build a house with any certainty as to the cost of it, unless he em ployed all the workmen and purchased all the ma terials himself. He might find It built of an en tirely different character frbm that contracted for, and yet have to pay the sub-contractor, though the builder could have no claim upon him. He might contract for a house tit $lOOO and find liens established against it for $2OOO. ■. If such were the case no prudent man would make a contract to have a house erected, except with a builder who had ample means to secure him against liens and such men only could ob tain the most desirable contracts.’; The allowance of any lien at all to a sub contractor is a special privilege, granted only in case of buildiugs, and it is not unreasonable to require him to look to the principal contract, to ascertain whether it la such as to justify him iabecoming a contractor under it. The argument that the law arid the principal contract make the huilder the agent of the owner, proves nothing. Suppose the faejt to be so: still his agency is only special, limited by the terms of the contract. He is to employ men to build the house in the manner and on the terms there indi cated, For anything beyond that he exceeds his authority, and does not bind bis principal. If, under a contract to build a brick.‘dwelling house, he. erects a wooden stable, I do ndt see how he or his sub-contractor can claim any; Hen. Yet the latter could do so, if the sub-contract were not dependent on the principal one. j To construe the law as is contended fqr by the plaintiffs, would be tq place the owner in the rela tion of a protector to ail those who contribute to the erection cf thiittnise. 5 ' But the law treats every man as • ; • *•, - taking care of himself. $96,625 7 ‘ * /.'V * • V-’J ffi .'.s' ,'■■■■ •• v- i V.-V ...# ■ • 1 -vj {tiH OF AILEOHERY COURT?* OPINION OF THE COURT.

According to his own caU cal&tion, he had consumed two thousand gallons .of brandy, without taking into account a variety of oth er kinds of liquor. He moreover enjoyed ilia facul ties to the last. .He was twice married ; and of bis numerous offspring by both wives the oldest bad died at the age of seventy, while the youngest was only eighteen at hor father’s death.
