The February Term of the several Courts of Monroe county," commenced' on Monday the 26th ult.; present Judges Kidder, Coolbaugh, and Mer wine. There was bui little business for the Grand Ju ry to perform ; no bills of indictment whatever were laid befitae them. Two applications for new bridges were returned with a negative recommen dation; The following report of the proceedings, are la ken from the Democrt. The first case called up was Ammiel Overfield vs. Dr. Thomas Grattan, both parties of Middle Smithrield township. This was a writ of Habeas Corpus to recover the body of Hannah Overfield, an infant about two and ahalf years of age; The circumstances of the case appeared to be mat a few years aince Ammiel Overfield was married to Julia Kervvin a niece of Dr. Thomas Grattan, be ing a daughter of his sist6r, and that Hannah Overfield was the i3sue of said marriage: Julia Overfield died in December, 1846, leaving this child in charge of her mother, first exacting from Dr. Grattan, upon her death-bed, a promise that he would take proper care of it until it had arrived at the age of maturity. In July 1848, Mrs. Ker win, mother of Julia Overfield, also died, having first exacted from Dr. Grattan a repetition ol his! promise to retain possesion of the child. Ammiel Overfield, having made application for the recov ery of this child, on the ground that he was the father and lawful protector, it was lesisted by Dr. Grattan, on the ground that shortly after marriage Overfield had separated from his wife, that he had exhibited no interest in her welfare, and made no provision for her support or for the support of the child, that even at the time of her sickness when lying at the point of death, he seldom or never vis ited her, and that there was a virtual abandonment of.her on his part, also, that he was an improper person to be entrusted with the charge of the child on account of his being a single man, not keeping house, &c. &c. After a great many witnesses had been examined, and the case submitted to the Court, Judge Kidder decided that the child, for the present, should be retained in possession of Dr. Giattan. Davis for plaintiff, Dimmick and Reeder for defendant. Bossard vs. Ward. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover a debt due for hauling some goods and furniture for defendant, from Philadelphia to Stroudsburg, for which plaintiff claimed $30. As the debt was contracted Some seven years ago and has been tried since before justices, arbitrators, and once or twice before in this Court, as well as in the Supreme Court, the plaintiff also claimed damages for a remuneration of his vexatious delay and trouble in endeavoring to collect the money, claiming for debt and dam age $95. The claim was resisted on a variety of grounds, that the contract was an entire one, or that Bossard was to bring all of Ward's goods and only brought part, that by his inattention Ward had suffered damages to a greater extent than the benefit he had derived, &c. The Jury brought in a verdict of S93 03 for plaintiff. Reeder for plain tiff, Dimmick for defendant. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. C.B. Shaio, Esq , the motion for a new trial was ably argued by Reeder for Commonwealth and Gibbons for defendant. The Court decided that the grounds set forth in the application for a new trial were in sufficient and therefore refused to grant it. After disposing of a number of cases upon the argument list, &c, the Court adjourned on Thurs day moining. The following applications for Tavern Licen ces were granted by the Court : Stroudsburg Jos.

The 73d Legislature of New Jersey, adjourned sine die on Friday, after a session of 5 days.dur ing which upwards of 140 bills were passed. The appropriation of $31,000 tor the Lunatic Asylum, $10,000 extra, to the support of Public Schools, $4,000 for the purchase of a lot adjoining the State House yard, $1500 to the Commissioners to in vestigate the Joint Railroad Companies' affairs, with several other drafts upon the treasury, have caused an excess jn the expenses of the State, over the receipts, of $65,443:47. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Treasurer to boirow $25,- 000 to-meet it. The general manufacturing oiu ; the general banking bill' and' the resolution4 to ap ! propriate $2",00(f to complete the records' of the colonial Council from the state paper office in London, and the other States of the Union, were postponed to the next session. New York and Erie Railroad. The BingHampton Express, of the 21st ult. says ; "The freight train' this morning, numbered fif- teen cars full loaded, and among the items was 10,000 lbs. nf pork, received Ja'st night from the west.

The Money Market, which was decidedly tight a few days since, has at length become somewhat easier, and in New York, we learn that loans may be negotiated at 6 per cent., on Treasury notes at call ; while it was anticipated that the Banks, be ing partially relieved of the pressing demands upon lliern for Specie,' would soon discount with more liberality. We perceive that a commencement of the Spring Trade is already imparting anima tion and activity to. the commercial emporium. In Philadelphia, money out of doors commands from 9 to 10 per cent, on good paper the Banks just now not being particularly liberal but the trutff is, business paper has of late been rather scarce, though considerable amounts, the product of the nascent and coming trade, will shortly be in the market. Very little specie has been remit ted to Europe for some time past, but it should not be overlooked, that the drain for California: is considerable. Up to this date, the gold fever has" proved a vast expense, especially to the cities, while the receipts of the yellow dust have been" but trifling. Stocks arerathef inactive, though since Friday last, when the foreitin news by th Europa was received, they have been more bud ant especially in shares and script of national, r otherwise of high character. The Niagara, whr sailed on Wednesday last, took out a large amount of United States stocks for a market in London, and as remittances for the fulfilment of orders. The demand for sterling exchange was limited, and the quotations low say 107 to 108. The intelligence brought by the Europa is of a highly cheering complexion, except as regards breadstuff, which are rather dull. The great manufacturing towns in England are busy cotton is active and prices are well maintained stocks have improved, and money is abundant at very low rates. Pennsylvania legislature.
