Baker vs. Wise, Governor, &c.
--This case, which has been pending for some time before the Supreme Court of Appeals, was finally disposed of on yesterday.
It arose upon the question whether the law of Virginia, requiring an inspection of vessels owned in whole or in part by non-residents, and bound to any Northern port, was in conflict with the Bill of Rights of Virginia, or the Constitution of the United States.
The Court held that the law did not conflict with either, and was in all respects constitutional and valid.
Judge Daniel delivered an able and learned opinion, and Judges Moncure, Lee and Robertson concurred.
Allen, President, dissented.
The cause was argued sometime ago, by Tazewell Taylor, Esq., of Norfolk, Judge William W. Crump, of Richmond, and --Johnson, Esq., of Boston, for the appellant; and by the Attorney General for the appellee.
Judgment affirmed.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.things in Chester field. Chester field. Co., April 8
Notwithstanding the mist and rain, we had a hsing secession meeting to-day, at which strong resolutions were passed, condemning the vote of our delegate (J. H. Cox) against the reference of the Ordinance of Secession to the voters at the Spring elections — approving the course of our delegates in the Legislature; also that of Hon. D. O. Dejarnette in Congress.
The change in this county from Union in Secession is immense, and is gaining ground hourly.
The examining trial of Fore, for the murder of his slave, was deferred until the next term of the Court.
He has retained Mr. M. Johnson and Gen.August as his counsel.
A large number of licenses were granted.
The wheat is growing finely now, and this rain will benefit the oats very much.
Several of our largest planters leave here for the South, to look at and purchase lands, in a few days. E. W.
