te the public. They are tired of this controversy, and are ready to abide the issue of its final settlement. The suspension of the Banks has deepened and intensified the interest in this all-absorbing subject. The Huguenot Seminary is within a few miles of where I am now writing. It is beautifully situated and its teachers are gentlemen of fine attainments, though I am sorry to learn that the number of students is by no means encouraging, only some twenty. The buildings originally cost $40,000. Rev. T. G. Jones, of Norfolk, preached at Liberty a few days since. I learn that he has been invited to Louisville, Ky., to become the pastor of a large Baptist Church. Next Thursday, the annual Ministerial Conference, in connection with the Baptist denomination of the Middle District, will commence at Salem, in Chesterfield county.

None of the negroes implicated belonged to Charles Rhodes, as stated yesterday. The following is a list of owners, names of negroes, and award of judgment in the case: Jim, slave of Samuel Harogrove, thirty-nine lashes; Phil, (Wm.
