A knife was seen iu his hand, and immediately 

 r, Conklin sprang from the sleigh, exclaimed that 

 ivas a dead man ,• he died iu filteen minutes after 

 wound was inflicted. 



)n Tuesday last, the Supreme Judicial Court corn- 

 iced their law term for suflblk and Nantucket, when 

 commission of the Hon. Levi Lincoln, appointing 

 a Judge of said court, was read, and he received, 

 reciprocated, the salutations of the Bench and Bar. 

 Rev. Mr. .Sharp offered prayers. .\t 1 o'clock, thi- 

 Association attended at King's Chapel to hear ai 

 ress from the Hon. William Sullivan, their Tresi 

 t. This address contained much curious matter of 

 history of the bar, iu iN'ew England, particularly 

 lassachusetts ; a subject which has been but little 

 aded to by lawyers, or biographers and historians 

 eneral — we are happy that a gentleman ofMr. Sul- 

 's taste, talents, and research, has turned his mind 

 Politicians, soldiers, and writers of every class, 

 a niche in the temple of fame, while the accu- 

 learned, and indefatigable lawyer, has scarcely 

 remembered for twenty years after his aeath. — 

 progress of law — we do not mean the increase of 

 atute book — but of those rules of wisdom and en- 

 med practice, by which life, liberty, and property 

 cured, is the progress of intelligence and human 

 iness. We should say much more upon this ad- 

 le address, but it is unnecessary, as we expect to 

 in print. At 4 o'clock, the members oftheAsso- 

 n sat down, to an excellent dinner, at the Ex- 

 •e Coffee House provided by Col. Hamilton, in his 

 tyle. We have been at bar dinners that were 

 ideed — where the black-letter spirit seemed to 

 ■ I", isiding gettius of the feast, and each one pour- 

 <ra his wine as a matter of course, but noinspira- 

 ame from it. This was otlierwise — " soul, senti- 

 aad song," flowed with pure and exhilirating in- 

 le, as they should do, when all are friends, and a 

 ■ inionofgood feelings the object of ihe associa- 

 m -Boaton Gasetlt.
