Judge Kmnions, of the United States District and Circuit Courts, left yester day lor Nashville. On next Monday the Judge will return and hold Court for a few d.tys, when a final adjournment for the term will take place. The United Sons of Ham were in corporated as an association to-day by tbe Second Chancery Court The prin cipal object of these society incorpora tions is to sue and be suad, to have a seal and to create a capital stock of fab ulous amount. Emmons k Son, the veteran news dealers at 10 Jefferson and 410 Main, have received foreign newspapers of latest dates, pictorial publications and New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincin nati, Louisville, Nashville and New Or leans" daily newspapers. The $400,000 damage case, known as the great gas case, is dragging its slow length along through the First Circuit Court, The arguments of counsel on the introduction of witnesses occupy nearly the entire attention of the Court The' case wilt not be concluded for a week or ten days. The yellow fever is raging at Vicks- burg aa an epidemic. The authorities have requested strangers to remain away. Tar barrels and bonfires are kept burning in the streets by day and night as a sanitary precaution. At Natchez there has been quite a number of deaths, but the fever has not been de clared an epidemic. An effort had been made to keep pro fessional juror j put of our courts, but their happy and familiar faces can be seen occasionally in the jury boxes. For several years there were a number of persons in our city who regarded jury service as a matter of right, believing it to be a franchise they were entitled te under the Constitution. In the Criminal Court the hearing of the case of Mike Mallowney was com menced this forenoon. It was arranged that the jury should visit the sceue of the homicide ou Exchange street. It will be remembered that in 18C9, during a difficulty which sprung up between a negro and the defendant about wood- sawing, the negro was shot dead by the defendant Col. E. Munford, who served on the staff of General Sidney Johnson, has prepared a lecture on the life and char acter of General Johnson, to be read before the Confederate Historical Soci ety, on Thursday evening, November 2d, in the Second Circuit Courtroom. The public is invited to attend upon this in teresting occasion. The subject is one full of interest, and will be treated in a masterly manner by the lecturer. 1 Coroner Moffatt left for Florida to-day. During his absence the magistrates of the city will sit on all dead men found in Shelby county. There is considerable rivalry existing among many of tbe jus tices as to which of them will take a seat on the bodies first the question of fees being the bone of contention. Of course the magistrate getting the infor mation first and possessing the greatest speed and bottom will reach the goal in advance of all others, and can say, tragically, as he points to the tenement of clay, 'tis mine." Chicago has become the fruitful theme of woes unnumbered.' The heavy sensa tional writers of the press are doing up the Chicago fire by the column. Tbe special correspondents are engaged in word-painting, and the pictorials show np the horrors in grotesque wood-cuts. The Chicago sufferers are scattered far and wide, and, like the ancient mariner pour a tale of woe into the ear of every weddiug guest or citizen who will listen to their warblings. Several of these an-. fortunates have reached Memphis, and after recounting the fate of the modern Sodom, ask for a few dollars to purchase clothing. Beware of these itinerant swindlers. Privilege Tax Collector J. Harvey Mathea has received instructions from the Comptroller of the State to refund the Tennessee mony, amounting to $2475, paid as privilege tax by the whole sale liquor dealers. The parties who have paid such tax and to whom the tax ia to be refunded, are: Vaccaro 4 Co.; Cloth A Kcttman; Guy, McClellan k Co.; Ileadrix, McNabb k Co.; School- field, Hanauer 4 Co.; Philips k Craw ford; Pearce, Suggs k Co.; Semmea k Co.

Tbe new Sileby steam fire-engine, pur chased for the boys of the No. 4 engine house, on Main street, reached the city this forenoon in cbajga of Mr. Brown, one of the engineer of the Silshy En gine Works. The new engine is a beauty, and a squirt of the largest proportions. The rlllsby will have a trial test this afternoon at three o'clock, on the corner of Mail! aad Madison. The fire depart ment will be in attendance, and, of course, crowds of citizens. The boys of the fir brizade have determined that Memphis shall never be Chicagoed, an aaserti"- evidently correct, as we have 1 the bet fire department in the United States.

The agent of the celebrated Monitor coal 'cooking stove H. Wetter fc'Co., Nos. 13 and 15 Monroe hare a splen did assortment of these wonderful stoves on exhibition and for sale at their ware- rooms. No house-keeper or family can afford to do without tbe Monitor. Its advantages over, other stoves are evi dent and numerous. Bituminous coal is rapidly superceding wood as fuel throughout the West and South. The Monitor contains the. latest improve ments, most of which are secured by let ters patent, and these improvements make the Monitor the most complete stove ia the market. 1 be improvements are as follows Tbe patent gas-burn ing aoapstona fire-brick, composed of small soapstone blocks, secured an iron frame, so that air cir culates between the frame and tbe blocks, and consuming tbe smoke; the patent shaking and dumping g-ete, operated on the outside of the stove; the patent air chamber front doors, by which the air U heated bnforb pausing into the fire; the revolving flue stopper; the cast-iron ash pan, etc The top plate of the stove is made in three pieces and ii warranted not to crack by fire. By removing the end linings and placing the bottom grate the Monitor burns wood better than any other stove It also burns gas-house coke; and water pipes can be attacked and used for heat ing water in bath rooms. The extra large oven for baking purposes is an other advantage possessed by the Moni tor. The Monitor was furnished to tbe ladies of the Second Baptist Church during our late Fair. They used it for a week and sent Wetter k Co. the fol lowing letter: Mauri. H. Wetter 4 Co., Not.

The theater was crowded last evening upon the occasion of the appearance ef the Oaten Comic Opera Troupe. 'The fairy and musical extravaganza, The Fair One with the Blonde Wig, was presented with all its music, dancing, scenery and burlesque, The appearance of Mrs. Oatee on the stage was hailed with delight by the audience. As a vivacious, graceful aud accomplished actress she stands deserv edly high in public estimation. She is the embodiment of jollity and muBic, and inspires the audience with enthuai asm and good humor. Lithe and active, she skips over the stage like a bird, and carols like one upon all occasions. The laughable quatrain, Whenever I Cease to Love, by the troupe, created no littl laughter last evening. Mr. Allen as "The Fair One," was immense, while the Prince Huckabuck" of Mr, Crane was grotesque in the extreme. Mr. Drew's acting and singing in the cliarac ter of "Leander" were, as usual, tasteful and good. The Fair One with the Blonde Wig will be repeated to-night. Brooms.

Yesterday a venerable looking lady from the country was rudely taken by the arm by a young man on Main street, and who addressed her as follows: "Well, old lady, what do you think of me now?" The lady indignantly demanded the cause of the unwarrantable familiarity; but seeing that the individual was ele gantly dressed, and not intoxicated, she looked earnestly at him, and in a few seconds recognized him aa her son, who was completely meteamorphosed, how ever. He laughingly explained that since he left her at breakfast he had purchased an elegant suit of clothes of Johnston k Vance, the famous and fashionable clothiers under the Peabody Hotel. If there is an incredulous person in the city who disbelieves this tale, let him go and do likewise, and be convinced as to the wonderful effect of fine clothes. Berorder' Coart.

The Oxford Falcon of the lHth iuat. contains the particulars of the late ac cident on the Mississippi Central rail road, which was noticed in the tele graphic dispatches of the Ledger some days since: The northward bound train on the Mis sissippi Central road, due at this place at 1:38 a, in., ran off the track yesterday morning, from some unknown cause, six miles south of Oxford, wounding some eighteen or twenty passengers. Severs 1 members of the Oxford Brass Band were on tbe train, returning from Winona, where they had the day previous fur nished music for the grand barbecue at that place, all of whom were more or less wounded, fror.

There are no new features nor disturb ing influences in the local money mar ket, and while there ia not a superabund ance of capital seeking investment the banks are in a condition to meet the wants of legitimate trade, and regular customers are supplied with funds at the usual rates. In the open market from 14 to 2 per cent per month is asked on short date paper seenred by collaterals. The market ia well supplied with Eas tern exchange, the counter rate for commercial bills being steady at J to c discount, Iu aelling, par ia the rate charged on New York checks. New Or leans bills are takea at ia discount and sold at per. But little ia done in coin; $1200 gold was bought by a dealer to-day at UOj. New York rat ia steady at 1 1 1 There it a slight improvement in the demand for' Tennessee money and county warrant, hut with this excep tion there ia nothing new to mention as regards local stocks or securities. ev- ernl hundred dollars of the former were sold by a dealer to-day at Gc for tax paying purposes, and some small lots of tho latter were sold atjHiic.

Ml Fair aiTIR, RCSIKESS, MISCELLANEOUS. The rise since noon yesterday and up to noon to-day is two inches. The lower Ohio is swelling time, and a slight rise it reported at Louisville and Cincinnati, but not enough to improve navigation much. There was a three inch rise at Cairo yesterday, and a swell of an inch at St. Louis. Between Cairo and this port there is now five leet ten inches of water, and below here there is six feet over Reeves', and at least two or three feet at Choctaw and Walnut llends, the channel at ileevet is outturn out and straightening itself a litilo. The Arkansas will be on another bender to- morrow or next day, and White rivor is swelling Irom its upper tributaries to Ilcvall's Bluff. Little Red river rose fifteen feet in one day, and at last ac counU w; nearly bank-full. l!ujine?s increasing rapidly, and now, instead of one or two steamers at the landing, as was the case two weeks since, we have from six to ten daily. The Cheek had a good trip out last night. The Dexter came in lost night and discharged fifty- three package of merchandise, added two hundred and seven bales of cotton and departed for New Orleans before noon, drawing firefeet. Tbe Silver Bow brought in forty bales of cotton and seven, 'hundred and fifty sacka of seed, n d left for above, after adding three hundred and sixty-one bules of cotton. The Utah came in from St. Louis. She discharged twenty tons of freight, and added a lot of way freight for below. The weather is clear and warm. Another heavy fog last night. On the night previous the A. J. White encoun tered the fog bank only twelve miles be low the city, about two o'clock, and laid up, not being able to leave the bank until nearly noon yesterday. The good looking clerk of the White thinks an ron steamer, with a sharp prow, would have had difficulty in cutting her way through the fog, it was so dense. The Natchez and Katie are doing a lively cotton business below. Yester day the former left Vicksburg with 12f0 nd the latter with 2300 bales of cotton. There is "chicked pie in the trade between this city and Greenville and it strange that some of our energetic teamboutmen do not see it. The large boats below know it, and for that reason have placed the Mayflower iu the trade (so rumor says) to get away from Mem phis nil the cotton this side of Napo leon, knowing that nt points below there they can control the trade without fear of opposition. A handsomo business could be done by any enterprising co mander with a good boat, and it could be so increased that it would pay the year round. i Who will move in the mat ter? Work was commenced yesterday upon the elevator at the foot of Beul street, Captain Dodge will have it finished in short meter. Our I'uion street neighbor, the Ap peal, has a paragraph headed thiisly: "The Pittsburg Commercial of yester day says."; This is the only case we know of where the mails have beaten the telegraph. The lowest point reached at Cairo was fifty-one feet below the high wator of 1S07. A rise of eighteen inches is re ported in Tennessee river. The Helena Clarion of Sunday says: "The river at this point is still falling slowly, and by measurement on the 21st inst was two and a half feet below the low water mark of last year, and forty lour feet four inches below high water mark. It still lacks some five to seven feet of the lowest point measured previ ous to tbe commencement ot the general levee system of 1H52. Tho river is now about two feet seven inches lower than it has been aince IH59. It is probably about as low as it will be this season. The Clarion man is posted on river matters, and his statement may be relied upon as correct. The steamer Mattie Bell was sold by the United States Marshal at Helena on Saturday. C. A. Walterhouse bought her at $105. A water gauge is being put np at the store depot at Cairo. A similar con trivance here would be of great service, but the city authorities do not care enough for the interests of the planters living below, nor for their patronage, to spend a hundred dollars in the construc tion of a water gauge. John T. McCord, owner and command- er of the deceased Olive Branch, will take charg of the ollice of the St. Louis and New Orl"im picket Richmond. The St. Joseph, Captain Oorbilt, leaves to-day at five p in. for Belmont, Cairo and St. Lnnis, making all the railway connections. The Utah, Captain Voorbies, leaves to-day nt five p.m. for Vicksburg ami all tbe lower landing. She is now nt the wharfboat and will leave promptly as dvertised. The A.' J. White was unavoidably de layed by fog, and did not arrive in time to leave last evening, but will positively leave this evening st four p ru. for Hel ena, Friar's Point, Napoleon and all the way landings. Fvkky. Monday's Cincinnati En quirer ha the following: "Several young men standing on the corner of Fifth and Vine last evening were exercised over the fact that Will P. Walker, jr., hud led one of the fair ladies of Memphis to the hymeneal altar, last Friday, and hadn't invited them." Rates by steamer from St Louis to New Orleans are as follows: Flour $1 20, whisky $2 50, pork $1 75, kay 70c, pound freights 60c per 100 pounds. The Sbreveport Republican of the 14th gives the following rates of freight and passage Down freights col tun, per bale; up freights three old card rates; cattle $7 per mixed luts; pas sage, $20; paseage per Carter line to St. Louis, tj. The wreck of the Virginia has been abandoned as a total loss. j The craning from the Mississippi into the Ohio ii becoming troublesome to many pilots. The channel drpth is lower down by more than a boat's length than it was a month ago, and nearly all pilots try to Croat too high up. A n'aa'uiTigton telegram of the 23d say: "The Supervising Inspectors of steamboats were engaged to-day ia con- y CO w i M M H w M sidering the question of storage of cotton on steamers, with a view to additional safety." The probable effect the widening of the Louisville canal will have, upon the commercial interests of the tim e great city of Louisvillu ia plainly visible in the following sensitive paragraph from the Louisville Ledger of yesterday: The river yesterday suggested the in quiry frequently, Vill the canal .be ready by the time tho river vines sufl' ciently to enable tho large boats to com mence their trips? There arc those who doubt it; in fact, doubl.i are ex pressed as to whether the work will he sulliciently advanced to admit large boats during the season, Vu are con fident that General Weit.el will have to ask for another Cincinnati committee t) look at his work and report to the Cin cinnati Chamber of Commerce. That body seems to have more to do with tin great improvement than anybody else, not excepting the Government ol the United States of America. TEAMBOATS. for 4'alro and Nt. Loui.
