An important case was tried before the United States District Court at Memphis, Tennessee, last week. It was that of Park against Hamilton, and its history was as follows: In the year 1862, while the rebel forces still held possession of Memphis, the de? fendant,- Thomas ? Hamilty, was ap? pointed by the rebel Government an agent to seize certain sugars and cot? ton, the property of merchants whom it was believed were purchasing and holding suoh commodities upon specu? lation, in view of the probable sur? render of Memphis to ?he Federal forces, and against the laws of the rebel Congress, and the declared policy of that Government, whose officers were instructed to prevent the undue accumulation of articles of prirae commercial value at points as seriously threatened as Memphis then was. In obedience' to instructions then given him, Hamilton seized a number of hogsheads of sugar, the property of Dr. A. J. Park-valued at $75,000-and turned it over to the rebel receiver or quartermaster, or with other sugars at that time seized, Sent it South by railroad No vonok ers were given, but a memorandum was made at the time of the value and number of barrels and hogs? heads, and in some cases, we believe, copies of such were furnished the owners. Dr. Park now brings suit against Mr. Hamilton to recover the \ value of the property so seized. j Oa the 28th ultimo the jury came | into court and announced that they j were unable to agree ripon a verdict, and the case .got?s . over to the ' next term of the court. Another case of importance, came up before the court on the 2Kth ul? timo. It was that of Thomas E. Chester against P. Titu?, ll. (.'. Brink? ley, and others, members of the vigi? lance committee of 1801. Mr. Ches? ter sues the vigilance committee, or such of its members asare now living, to recover the value of k steamboat seized by that body and afterwards turned over to the refiol Government and destroyed; and -having been a resident of St. Louis during the war, being all the while recognized as a loyal man, if he establishes the fact of seizure'and destruction, according to the charge of Judge Trigg in the case of Park aMfcHamilton. he will, it is thought, rerover the full value of his craft from the parties sued. It is stated in the Now York papers that thc United States*steamers iihode Island and Hornet, the latter former? ly known as the blockade renner '"'Lady Sterling," have been ordered to proceed to Havana, to convey to Washington the Confederate Stone? wall, heretofore surrendered to the United Skates*- -Government by the Spanish authorities. The assignment of the Bhode Island to this duty dis? poses of the oft-repeated report that it was fitting out to convey President Johnson to Korth. Carolina and other Southern States, ir b A good story is told o? a "country gentleman,", who for the first timi heard an Episcopal clergyman preach. He had read much of the aristocracy and pride of the Church, and whet he returned home, he was asked if th? j>eople were "stuck up." "Pshaw no," replied he, "why, tho ministe preached in his shirt-sleeves." .'Matrimonial infelicities" are frc quent in Bristol county, Massacht .setts, judging by the fact that on hundred divorces' have been graute in five years. .
