TRIBUTE TO The Memory of Judge Rich ardson. At a meetin of the Court of General Sessions and Coimon Pleas, in this city, at 10 o'clock, A. M., Yesterday, the Attor ney General. I. W. ilayne, Esq., announ ced, in a few appropriate and feeling re markln the death of the lion. JonN S. RIcHARDSON, and, in order to afford the Bar and the community an opportunity to manifest their respect to the deceased, and their sense of his lose, moved an ad jgurnment. 6in reply to this motion, his Honor Jndge O'Ni.tL (as report d in the News, of yes terday evening) said "It is unfortunately true. Judge Rien AnosoN, this inorning at about hialf past four, at his lodging in this city, closed his useful life and entered upon his everlast ing rest. Sad indeed is it, and unusual that, on two successive days, we should be called on to mourn the loss of able Judges. Ilitherto our Judges have been preserved by a remarkable providence. At present, however, the chastening hand of God is upun us, and, as our ranks are diminishing and the circle ofearly associates, both on the Bench and at the Bar, is narrowing, it behooves us all, Lawyers and Judges, to take the sad admonition home! Ve muni die! How soon, we cannot say! "Be ye also ready" is a divine comnand, which it would be wise to obey! "Judge RincuAnusoy is well known here; lie was educated at your College; studied Law here, and lived many years of his prime aniiig you. Ile has tilled the high est otlicrs with honor and success. lie has been a member of your Legislature, Speaker of your Ilouse of Representatives, Attorney General, and finally a Judge. 'This last oflice he has held since 18 8. In it, miiv h:nowledge of himn has been long and intiinaite, and I am prepared to bear liy testimony to his great judicial worth. Few men hil a higher sense of duty; lie is now gathered to his fathers, from persist ing too long in tle discharge of his duty! IlIe possessed firumess. conrage, and en. dirance miore thin the :iost of men. I have been nss'ciatel with him in many trials; never hace I seen hinfialler! As an alvocate he po'sse. sed unrivalled talents. A; a Jodge, his opinions forming a consid (rable portion of our reported cases, will speak for hint. But I may say, that, in the consultation room, where a Jludge is more tried thanii any where elsp, I have often mimiiired his acumen and readiness to start llticulties which it required the strongest to meet and remove. " Rlut he is no more. In his seventy fourth year he has been called from us. We hve no right to grieve ; lie died in the full triumph of a Christian faith, and we are justified in. believing that he is in the iace of glorious rest prepared for him. Ile hag died itul of years and full of glory, and we can only say it is Gud's will!'' liis I Honor added, that to enable the Bar, Jurors, witnesses and others, to testify their respect to his deceased brother, lie cheerfully granted the motion, and ad. journed the Court until 11 o'clock, A.
