During that day, the 5ih, a majority of iK lemnea ov the threats of 1 u r ti. zens, dispersed m different directions, withoui maKing any opposition . It was sincerely hoped that the remainder would follow their example, and thus prevent a bloody termination of the strife which had commenced.

All hoped that these wretches would be intimidated by the superior numbers ol their assailants, and surrender themselves at discretion, rather than attempt a desperate defence.

Benjamin Parke, in the 58tli year of his age. The subject of this memoir was well known throughout this state, and to many distinguished men in other slates of the Union. He became an inhabitant of our slate about the year 1800 or 1801, before we had even passed into the territorial form of government. His emigration was simultaneous with that of Harrison, whose friendship he conmucd to enjoy unto ihe limn nf his death. He Was a dclpontn tr run. gress at an early period ot our ter ritorial existence, and was afterwards, in 1S03. annointcd bv Mr. Jefferson, judge of the United States court m the district then constitu ting die territory of Indiana. This office he filled with honor lo himself, and usefulness to the country, M "J me period ol ins death. The deceased was born in New Jersey on the 2d of September, 1777, and wnen mute a vouim man. mirrnt. ed to Lexington, Kentucky, where ne iormed an intimate acquaintance with Henry Clay, James and Samuel Drown, the former of the two latter gentlemen being afterwards well known as our minister to France, and the latter as a distinguished professor in the medical schools in Cincinnati and Lexington. With James Brown he studied law; and for both these gentlemen, w hose friendship for him in early life had been very conspicu ous, ne always entertained tlie highest esteem and regard, while they lived. Throughout the whole period of his life, doing good (o others was his greatest pleasure, and during his residence in this state,its honor and interests were the chief objects of his solicitude. The disease of which he died, was pulmonary consumption, a malady which had made its appearance in a cognizable form more than 20 years before, and which his remarkably temperate habits alone had prevented irom carrying him off many years previous to his decease. His last illness, which continued about ten days, he bore with his usual fortitude, retaining the full possession of his faculties up k, the last hour of his existence,and died without experiencing any of the weaknesses of humanity. From the Baltimore American, Jubj ). 1 lie corpse of the late chief jus. lce .Marshall was taken on board of the Citizens' Union Line steamboats yesterday morning at Philadelphia, and transferred to the Norfolk steamboat at the mouth of the river Patapsco. It was accompanied by three sons of the deceased, and a committee of the citizens of Ihiladelphia, consisting of judge bald win, Mr. Sergeant, Mr.Iiawle, Mr. Peters, and Mr. Ingrabam,who IMocecoeu with it to V ir cmia.
