OFFICIAL PAPER OP 7 HE CITY SATURDAY Mob«ing:::::::dec. 23. OH' "2" Xul A.T XBRS. Oeath ot ilou. William B. MeClure. It £3 with feeling; uf deep regret thßt wo announce this morning the death of Hon, Wm. B.‘McClure, President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and Quar ter Sessions of this county, forming tho fifth judicial district of the State. He died at his residence on Penn street, yesterday moraine, after an illness of some five weeks, of a malady originating in nervous debili ty, induced by over exertion in the psr D formance of his aiduous official duties on the bench. physician, Dr. Thomas Dickson, designated his disease angina pectoris. Judge McClure was the youngest son of Charles and Rebecca McClure, and was bora at Willow Grove, near Carlisle, 1807. He had an only brother, Hon. Oh. McClure, now deceased. Before he reached bis ma jority, the Judge removed to this city, studied law with Justice Kennedy, of the Supreme Court, and was admitted to prac tice in the Courts cf Allegheny county* NovL'inbar 18. h, 1820. He was a close stu dent, and his legal acquirements and nat ural eloquence sood placed him in the front rank of criminal lawyers. In June, 1837, Mr. McClure became associated with Eon. Wilson McCandless, now Judge of the United States District Court, and the busi ness connection was maintained for twelve years, cemented by an intimate personal friendship and the marriage of both part ners with daughters of Mrs. Collins, a very estimable l.dv, recently deceased He bad two sisters, one of whom is the wife of Gan. Wm. Bobinson, the other widow Of the late Dr. Adam Hays. His brother, Hon. Chas. McClure, once Secre tary of the Commonwealth, and member of Congress from the Cumberland District was married to a daughter of Chief Justice Gibson. Tne family of the Jadge consists of his wife and three daughters, who are much distressed at the sad dispensation. They have Ihe consolstion, however, of ( knowing that he died a doTout Christian, as he was a consistent member of tho JCpie copalean Church. In addition to his legal attainments, the young barrister had a fine classical cduea ion (received at Dickinson College, Car lisle,) and literary abilities of a high order. He was also possessed of a keen wit, manifested on social occasions by ready repartees and dashes cl humor, which made him.universally po; ular. This char acteristic was apparent even in his last opinions, as enunciated tho bench He was a frequent contributor, rn pre-c and poetry, to literary journals, especially the old Spirit of the 7\mee, and his con tributions to that paper were generally ad mired. Since his elevation to ihe bench, we remember only odo sketch, a history of a poor lunatic, whom ho was obliged to send to the Penitentiary, published in the Neu> Yorker. He wss also a great Nim. rod, loved athletic sports, hunting and fishing, and indulgod in tho i&ttor when, ever the recesses cf his Court afforded him leisure. Having practised successfully for • ■■ire twenty j'etirs, Mr. M -.'ijr.j wza appointed by Gov. Johnslj:,, in January, 1860 Prrp'dont Judge for this judicial dielrici, lo fill the vacancy occasioned by tbo ex piration of Judge Patton's term. Hie coin, mission was read and he took his seat on the bench, February 4ib, 1850. In October ot the same year an amendment of the constitution of the State, providing for an elective judiciary, was submitted to the people and carried by a large majority. All commissions then in force expired on t.c tirat Monday of December, 1851. In June, 1861, he was nominated by acclama* tion by the "Whig nominating convention as their candidate (or President Judge o f the Common Pleas, and elected in October by a large majority, notwithstanding a determined opposition, slroDg and well organized. The Judge look his seat a second time on the Ist of December, 1861, with Judges McMillan and Boggs, cleoted Associate Judges at the same time. He continued to discharge his duties as Judge with strict Impartiality, disposing of the vast and in creasing business of Lhis large district with commendable rapidity, but always giving criminals a fair trial. During ten years lie has labored incessantly, often spending the entire night in preparing for the next day’s business; but yet appearing first in his place at the opening of Court and never delaying its business in the least. His en~ ergy, strict integrity^of purpose, and great despatch and thoroughness gained him a well deserved reputation as one of the best criminal judges in the State. Indeed, so great was hiß popularity th&t, when his term of ten years was about to expire, he re ceived the unanimous nomination both on the Republican and "Union tickets, thus rendering his election certain. Towards the close of the October term the health of the Judge began to fail, and after the jury trial* were over he was mis siDg from his accustomed pb.ee on the bench he had graced for nearly twelve years. From that time ho appeared in his seat but once, on the 7;h oi l December, when (he having been sworn in by Judge Wil liams, at hiß own house, on the 2d) his com mission was read in open Court. Hie disease was not consid .red serious until within a few days past, when it became serious cause oi alarm. His demise oe curred at five o’oio- k yesterday morning and the announcement was listened to with surprise and universal regret. The Judge w.-s r; h' = 65th year. Ther® are few men in our coma-.unity whose loss would be &o keenly felt. As we have said, he was eminently sociu! in disposition, of liberal heart and large sympathy, strict integrity, remarkable simplicity of heart and singleness of purpose. .Hone could complain of not receiving “even handed justice” at his hinds, while he was always prompt to redress the grievances of the poor and friendlcssnnd shield the oppress ed; The purity of his motives could" not bo questioned and all admitted his freedom I front-prejudice. - He stood‘high m a judg learned in the law and but few of his deci sions have been reversed by the Supreme Court, We fear his place will be difficult to fill. We have seldom seen the death of a prominent min in the community create so much gloom and depression. The announcement of his death was made In the Conrt of Common Pleas, yes terday morning, by M. Swartzwelder, Esq., in a few appropriate remarks, and caused much surprise among the members of the bar, by whom ho was held in high esteem. Judgo Mellon immediately ad journed the Court, and an informal meet ing of the bar was held, Hon. Chas. Shaler presiding, and John H. Hampton and J W. Biddell, Esq; , acting as Secretaries, A committee wss appointed to consult with the family concerning the funeral, (which takes place at 10 o’clock ou Monday,) con sisting of Hon, Thomas Mellon, Thomas M. Marshall and J. H. Miller. M Swartz welder, J. H. Hampton and J. W. R'd dell were appointed a committee to pro pare resolutions to be presented at an ad journed meeting of the bar at ten o'clock this morning. The sad event was also an nounced by Mr. Swartzwelder in tho Dis trict Court, which Boon altorwards ad journed. Special meeting of Councils City Councils held a special meeting las! evening.

The Italian opera troupe from the New York Academy of Music, whose approach ing concerts, under the management of Mr. J.

Thursday, 2d and Friday 3d, Manager Henderson having succeeded in securing this really great attraction for bis establishment, Tho company includes a fine array of talent, viz: Miss Isabella Hinckley, the distinguished American prima donna, who has already made for herself a world wide reputation, .Sig. Brignoli, the unrivaled tenor, Sig, Man. cusi, the renowned baritone, tbe eminent basso Sig. Susinl and Herr, MolleDhauer, a violinist with few equals in this country o; Europe. Tbe whole will be under the direction of Carl Anshutz, the celebrated conductor from the New York Academy of Music, who is must favorably known here. The programme for each evening embraces concert pieces and opera, and will, we are confident, be most acceptable to the musical public. The Theatre affords good facilities for the proper production of the operas and is besides very comfort able, so that we have every rea on to be* Sieve that the entertainments will be well attended and prove profitable both to Mr, Grau and the management.

The re* treat of the wboie army commenced as soon afterwards as possible, and so fearful were they of pursuit that they burned bridges and placed every obstruction in the way of their fancied pursuers. Even the celebrated bridge, built by Gen. .Fremont, nc.rt'B* the Oiage, at Warsaw, was not spared by the flying rebels. It is reported that ono regiment was left on tbe Osage as a ioar guard and that several small bodies are scattered through the counties about Warrensburg collecting supplier A cavalry force has been sent out in pursuit of them, but our horses are so worn and woarv by other long f .reed marches that them *s lil’.lo prospect of capturing these rebel bands.
