A correspondent of tlie New York Tribune, writing from rsortli Adams, Mass., says : Hie Celestial shoemakers continue to devote their leisure most ardently to the acquisition of the English language. They have primers and dictiona ries printed lor the purpose of teaching learners of tbelr nation with the two widely different Kinds of characters in parallel columns; but they appear to find it more agreeable to learn by another system, the magnitude of which seems appalling at lirst thought. They inquire the name of an article at random, and tlien repeat it hundreds of times till It Is firmly fxed lu the memory. Their foreman had bought some cotton sheeting, which was divided among them, each man mea suring his piece oy a curious motion of the arm which seemed much more satisfactory than any test by the unfamiliar yard-stick. "What you call?" Inquired one of them, holding up his material for a pillow-case. "White cloth." It is curious to see the laborious motion of the lower jaw by which a Chinaman strives to convey the pronunciation of these difficult syllables. "Watt closs," with a long pause of efforts between the words. Is about as near as he gets to It the first day. Vet though this method seems as slow as working through the Hoosac Mountain with a hitnd-driil, the pupils make marvellous progress toward acquiring the language, both lor reading and for conversation. For the technical purposes of the trade, they master it in a trice, calling all the component parts of a shoe and all the multitudinous iuplement.s of the shoe-bench by their proper names after a day's acquaintance. 'The Chinese are hearty eaters, requiring new sup plies of rice and fresh meat lor their kitchens lu a ..way that somewhat encourages the small traders of North Adams, who had been led to suppose the new shoemakers would have, no demand for any mer chandise but rats and puppy dogs. The cigar store and whisky shops must stiller, hut thPlr wants will ' open new avenues or profitable trade. Their tea they will probably continue to import from their native laud by the way of California, when the sup ply they have brought with them is exhausted. Whether from the greater purity of the leaves or tne superior skill of their cooks, the beverage which they drink from their pint bowls disdaining oar diminutive cups and puerile spoons is certainly preferable In smoothness and delicacy of llavor to iuofet of the tea offered at American tallies. Dut aside from this It Is Impossible for one trained In the ways of our civilization to look on with sym pathy at a Chinese banquet There is au air of haste about it with which the habit or a New York boarding-house or a Western steamboat is not to be coin' pared; and the chops tick in operation la not agree able to look upon. But it seems probable that these people will gradually adopt the knife as a more con venient instrument, and so slowly rise to the high culture Implied tn the exclusive use of the fork, so that we may all sit down at their tables In a year or two without a feeling of nausea. An other change which they will be sure to be driven to as the cold months come on, will be the adoption of our costume, since their thin blouses, flowing trousers, and slipshod shoes will be quite Inadequate to the exigencies of the New England winter climate; and so they will gain another claim on the respect of the tradesmen who will supply their needs. North Adams is somewhat surprised at the lnter- est which Us local sensation has excited lu the outer world, and luoks with amazement at the flock of metropolitan reporters, scarcely less strange than the . hinese themselves, who have been attracted into Its pleasant valley. The Crispius are of course unconverted; but the general sentiment of the townspeople, and of the observers from abroad who nave come to look at the Orientals, is that of admiration for many of their traits. The cheapness of their labor, now that Us good quality is demon strated, especially strikes the New England niiud, trained as it is to calculations of economy ; and there are those, whose opinion your correspondent highly respects, who predict that the way will be opened under the Hoosac, that the sandy barriers or Cape Cod will be dug away, that the next great railroad across Massachusetts will be built, all within the next ten years, and all by Chinese labor. Opposition to Mr. Chlnainaa la New York A Marrow 1'olicj. A mass meeting of laboring men and trades unions was held in Tompkins Square, New York, last evening, to oppose the introduction of Chinese labor into this country. Npeech of Mayor Hall. Mayor Hall was then Introduced, and said it afforded him pleasure to meet his hearers ra the discussion of this coolie question. If it were a sub ject to joke about he might say that the coole ques tion was a good one to talk about on this hot June evening. But it was a subject of too serious a na ture for joking. He had been Introduced by the Chairman as the Chief Magistrate of this city. He felt that the Chief Magistrate ought to be here be cause the object of the meeting he was sure met the sympathies of at least four-fifths of his constituents. He was not here as a politician or a demagogue, but he believed every one holding public position should be willing to show bis hand on this question and not hold his tongue: The State or Massachusetts-was the first la the country to Introduce the black slave trade two centuries ago, and it was now the Urst In the United states to introduce anotner kind or tawny slave labor. From the sudden Introduction of this species of labor In one of the towns of Massachusetts had sprung this movement. The American people, it hid been said, would not and could not object to any kind of Immigration Into this country. The objection was to traders and man-speculators bringing men here to overrun labor. Men who were debased in morals were being brought nere to compete with free white labor, if the white men of the North are to tolerate this new klud of s ave labor, then it was In vain they had fought to break down black slavery in the (South, for It was .only to see a worse species of slavery Introduced .Into the North. The trouble on this question com menced with tke Burlingaine treaty, it was the luty of the statesmen of the country to have seen to It at that time and prevented the difficulty, it was by virtue of that treaty that Mr. Samson, of North Adams, claimed the right to introduce Chi nese laborers to Lis workshops. He held the statesmen of the oountry accountable for not providing tn the treaty for this difficulty. It would be impossible for American free labor to compete with this new sys tem of Chinese slave labor, and it was the duty of Congress to pass laws Immediately regulating Cninese immigration to tills country. It was a dim cult question to deal with and there were no one in objurgation or the elaboration of revolutionary ideas, lie was not here to suggest a remedy; that lay with the men in power at Washington. Jt was not a ques tion of eheap labor merely, but a question of moral and social influences In the United States. After some remarks about the vast reservoir of Chinese labor, and the necessity of regulating Its introduc tion into tiis country, the Mayor closed amid the cheers of fee auuleuce. TERRIBLE EXPLOSIQX. DUaster at the I.orhlel Iron Works-Fatal lienult. The Harisburg Patriot of yesterday says: . About twenty minutes of 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a frightful explosion occurred at the Locbiel Iron Worts, which resulted in the fatal scalding and burning of Dennis Tooiny, aged about &5 years, and a boy named Quaid, about 15 years old. Joan McGee was also scalded and burned considerably, though no fears for Lis recovery are entertaiued. William Howies and L. Stevens also met with painful injuries bv the explosion, while several other workmen were sightly hurt. None are expected to die but Tooiny and Quaid, who are terribly burned. The explosion occurred under the following circumstances: Tooiny requested Quaid to direct the hose on a "but,gy" of blag or cinder, which tad Leeu conveyed to the ouUtue of the work atom aa tour before. The boy accord' ingly did so, when Toomy ran a wet bar Into the slaR, the result of which was a simultaneous ex plosion, which wns heard three or four hundred yarn's distant. The hot cinder flew in almost every conceivable direction, Toomy and Quaid receiving th largest quantity. The works were set on fire lo several places, which was extin guished by bringing the hose Into play. Every possible assistance was extended to the injured men by their fellow-worktnon, and medical aid was summoned to their help as soon as possible after tbe accident. KO PAXIERS FOR THE SAINTS. DrRKKln Hklrta Placarded-Dlmrotlnlv" fHhort Ones Onto The Ureclan Bend Tabooed The Latent Fashion Edict Utah ibe Seat or Reform. From the Deeerct ., June 20. The following resolutions were adopted by the First Young Ladies' Department of .the Ladies' Co-operative Ketrencbment Association, Bait Lake City, organized May 37, 1870: Mesolved, That realizing ourselves to be wives and daughters of apostles, prophets, and elders of Israel, and, as such, that nign responsibilities rest upon us, and that wo shall be held accounta ble to God not only for the privileges we inherit from our fathers, but also for the blessings we enjoy as Latter-day Saints, we desire to uuite and co-operate with, and do mutually pledge ourselves that we will uphold and sustain, each other in doing good. lii'Kolved, Ihat Inasmuch as the saints have been commanded to gather out from Babylon, and "not partake of her sins, thnt they receive not of her plagues," we feci that we should not condescend to imitate the pride, folJy, and fashions of the world; and inasmuch as the Church of Jesus Christ is likeued unto a city set on a hill to be a beacon of light to all na tions, it Is out duty to set examples for others, instead of seeking to pattern alter them. Unsolved, That we will respect ancient and modern upostolic instructions. St. Paul ex horted Timothy to teach "the women to adorn themselves in modest apparel not with braided hair, or gold or pearls, or costly array, but which becometh women possessing godliness, with good works." Peter, also, in his first epistles, in speaking of women, says: "Whoso adorning, lent not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel; but let it be the hidden man of tbe heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is, in the sight of God, of great price; for after this manner, in old time, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves." In a revelation given to the Latter-day Saints in 1831, tho Lord said: "Thou shall not feel proud in thy heart; let all thy garments be plain, and their beauty tho beauty of the work of thine own hand." All of which we accept as true principle, and such as should bo fully illustrated in our practice. Hesolved, That, with a firm aud settled de termination to honor the foregoing requirements, and being deeply sensible of the sinful ambitiou and vanity in dress among the daughters of Zlon, which are calculated to foster the pride of the world and shut out the spirit of God from the beart,'we mutually agree to exert our influ ence, both by precept and by example, to sup press and to eventually eradicate these evils. liesolwd, That, admitting variety has its charms, we know that real beauty appears to belter advantage in a plain dress than when be dizened with finery, nnd while we disapprobate extravagance and waste, we would not, like the Quakers, recommend a uniform, but would have each one to choose the style best adapted to her own taste and person; at the same time we shall avoid, and ignore as obsolete with uj, all extremes which are opposed to good sense or repulbive to modesty. Jiesolved, That inasmuch as cleanliness is a characteristic of a saint and an imperative duty, we shall discard the dragging skirts, and, for decency's sake, those disgustingly short ones extending no lower than the boot tops. We also regard "paniers" and whatever approxi mates in appearance towards the "Grecian Bend," a burlesque on the natural beauty and dignity of the human female form, and will not disgrace our persons by wearing them. And also, as fast as it shall be expedient, we shall adopt the wearing of home-made articles, and exercise our united influence in rendering them fa6hionrble. THE NEW ORLEANS FIREMEN. Tbelr Trip to Philadelphia-How They Were JKmertnined lu Ciiieluuntl. The Cincinnati Times of Wednesday flays: The New Orleans firemen, and their friends who are accompanying them, spent yesterday very largely in looking about the city. In the morning Mr. Shattuck, of the Erie Railway, received them at the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton depot, and would not allow them to depart until he had given them a handsome col lation. The New Orleans Fire Department was toasted, and a response made by Mr. Stone and Mr. Sbattuck, of the Erie Railroad. At 3 P. M. Messrs. Reinlein and Brickel took In carriages such as desired to go to Clifton. Avondale, Spring Grove, Cumminsville, the Work House, and House of Refuge. Notwith standing the heat, the ride to the suburbs was very much enjoyed. THE DEPARTURE. At an early hour yesterday evening the Gib son House was alive with members of the ex cursion and others, preparatory to the depar ture of our guests for the East. Some time be fore the hour, they were generally at the depot oi me ine lurnway. ueiore tneir aeparture, L. A. Allen, Esq., In behalf of the firemen of this city, addressed them as follows: Gentlemen of the New Orleans Fire Depart ment: un oenair or tne t ire Department of the city of Cincinnati, I thank you for this your friendly visit. We welcome you, not because you are fire men, but because you are our brothers aud our fellow-citizens. If we have done anything to contri bute to your pleasure, it is only iu the same spirit of welcome which tke Queen City of the West is ever ready to extend to the representatives of any city in this great and glorious Union. In parting with you, gentlemen, we only regret that your stay has been so short. And we now bid you a kind, a fond adieu. uvyiug vo meet you noon again. THE TRAIN. The cars provided for them by the Erie Com pany were the best the road furnishes. There were three flrst-claes sleeping coaches and a drawing-room coach attached. The train was one of the finest that ever left the city; It was a credit to tho company, and a compliment to the excursionists who are to enjoy its comforts. During yesterday the train was visited by a large number of persons, who appeared greatly in terested in, the splendid accommodations fur nished in our day to the travelling public. The excursionists will go directly through New York, will make a snort stop in Jersey City, and go to WiiliiHMTibl fViA fnllrhurinar A art W.M .a WMW . U . . V-r ' . U 1,1 J , ESCAPE OF A CRIMINAL. A Man Convicted of IHaunlnuckter Suddenly iiniivrir-un iivnunuira i.rii ia lie l.urco. The Toledo Jilade of Wednesday has tbe f ol lowing: Yesterday afternoon a rumor became current that Martin Kruse, who was lately convicted of manslaughter in Killing Jacob uerber, Jr., bad taken his departure. The report soon reached Sheriff DowUng, aud that officer informed Judge iouins, mis morning, oi wnat ne nad Heard. The Judge at once issued a warrant directing the Sheriff to find Kruse and take him into cus tody. Sheriff Dowling accordingly proceeded to Kruse's house, on Segur avenne, to execute the warrant. Reaching the house, he found the wife of tbe criminal, who informed the Sheriff that her husband left the city last Friday evening. In reply to tbe question as to where her hus band had gone, Mrs. Kruse replied that she did not know. The sheriff then proceeded to mike a thorough search of the premises, when t e Ue, wiUi Victorious, smile, remarked, -Xpii won't find him, for h's a good many miles from here now," and tbe remark was found to be the truth. The wife and all parties who were inter rogated, pretended ignorance as to all particu lars of the homicide's departure. With the exception cf the night that he was arrested after committing tbe murder, Kruse was never in the custody of the sheriff or any other officer, but was allowed his freedom under ball of $3(J0O, his surety being his brother August Knsso and Henry Brand. . Having satisfactory assurance that Kruse. would not forfeit his ball, Judge Collins per mitted him to renew it, after he was convicted, until he shonld be called into court to receive his sentence. But it seems that the criminal came to tbe conclusion that his brother and friend could better afford to redeem the bond than he could stand a term of penitentiary ex- Eerlence. A large reward will be advertised for is recovery. maAL irjTPLLioaucn. Presentment of the Orand Jury. Court of Quarter Sejwion Judge Ludlow This morning the Grand Jury for the June term, having concluded their labors, made the following brief and interesting final presentment: To the Honorable the Judyen of the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Semnonn of the J'eaee for th Cily and County of Philadelphia. The Grand InqueBt of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, inquiring for the City and County of Phila delphia, for June term, 1870, respectfully present: The business assigned to the Grand Jury has been disposed of, and of the 803 bills presented to us for our consideration, 199 have been returned true and 164 Ignored. There was nothing of special importance brought to our notice, but we cannot forbear to refer the Court to the prevalence of a system well known, both In the (Quarter Sessions and to tbe community, as professional or straw ball. It is a matter of public notoriety that these lnrtl vi uals follow this practice as a recognized pro fession and act as shields to rogues who come into this court for trial. Scores of noted criminals have eicaped justice through the connivance of tfrese proiepslotiBl hail goers, who ply their trade within the walls of the Court House Itself. The attention of the District Attorney Is re spectfully and earnestly directed to this growing evil, and his recent action in causing the arrest of one of these men is commendable as an Indication of a vigorous prosecution of the entire class. The Orand Jury visited all the public institutions, and report are all well and properly managed. Attention has so frequently ben called to the crowded condition of the County Prison and the in sane department of the Almshouse that we can do no more at this time than reiterate the complaints of te past and urge a speedy reform for tho future. 1 he urand Jury return their thanks to the orllcers of the Court lor their attentions during the session. Samuel (5. Featuekston, Foreman. F. K. Aujson, (secretary. Jude Ludlow replied to the Grand Jury that, in regard to their remarks upon professional ball-goers, he thoncht them well worthy of serious considera tion. Whenever such men were found attempting imposition upon the Court, they were unfailingly punished and made examples for those who might be inclined to imitate them. But the constitutional provisions on the subject made it obligatory upon the Judge to accept the ball of any person that was responsible and valuable: in other words, if the ball oil'ered was satllcient, though the surety were a pro- lessionai, it was tne right or tne accused to nave it accepted, and the Court had no right to refuse it. ut where straw-bail was foisted into a case, the presumptuous party was generally dealt with as be deserved. And thouxh It was not proper to com ment upon any case then before tho Court or likely to be during the next term, yet the Judge felt at liberty to say that any person committing perjury in the matter of bail would be handled with severity. Thanking the gentlemen for the eillcient manner in which they had despatched the public business, he discharged them from further attendance. . The Eleventh nud Panaoiu Ntreele Murder. Our readers have doubtless not forgot the murder of Patrick, alias John Williams, the young man who was Bhot in a tavern at Kleventh and Hansom streets on the night of April 6. Iu the spirit of criminal chivalry he, on his death-bed. refused resolutely to discloie the name of his murderer. c 3Ir. th ppard aad Ins detective Sharkey have been constantly working at the case ever sluce, and during ti e whole month a bill has been before the O and.iury, and every person, supposed to know anything whatever about it, has beea examined, all to no eflect Not only those who testi lied In fore the Coroner, but as many more have been examined by the lirand Jury, yet they failed to make out the slightest case, even or suspicion against any one, and among the bills to-day returned was this one ignored. So ends tne case. . THE NEW ORLEANS FIREMEN. Tbelr Doings To-Pay Their Reception la In- dependence Hail. The Xew Orleans firemen, under the charge of the committee of arrangements, are to-day beiiu shown the sights of the city.

Though you live far, far away, hough no old familiar faces greet you, though you are unknown in our streets, yet here on this sacred spot you are no strangers. Every American is at home in Independence Hall. Here on this national ground we cease to be citizens of Louisiana or Penn sylvanla; all are fellow-countrymen. In all your wanderings from the Gulf to the Lakes, from your departure to your return, thouirh you will have travelled eight thousand miles, yet you win nave toucnea no foreign sen, you win nave passed no frontier, you will have seen no people. with hostile or opposing Interests.

T his vou owe to the Immortal deeds that origi nated within these four walls. It was here, pledg ing mutual sacrifices,. was signed the bond of bro therhood, scaled by the blood of the Revolution,and whloh'purchased and proclaimed "Liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." It was here that the weak ana feeble Colonies were welded into the vigorous and mighty nation. It was here that the representatives of the old Thirteen States met, and to form a more perfectcunion to establish justiee ensure domcsttc tranquility provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and secure the oleoslngs of liberty for themselves, and thus posterity di 1 make and ordain the Constitution of tne United States. These priceless blessings we gratefully owe alike to Southern and Northern statesmen aiid soldiers. It was to preserve these blessings pardon the allu sionthe rights of the States and the sovereignty of the Union that the woful sacrifices of the recent war were made. But the war, thank God. Is over : let us, while cherishing the memory of our departed heroes, strive to bury in their graves our late bitter bloody differences, and like friends, for a time es tranged and then reconciled, love each other with an intensity never felt before. Let there henceforth be no bickerings between the North and the youth. We know your valor, may you know our worth. Let us all ' strive by every act, political and personal, to bring back the fraternal feeling that existed between our rathers within these walla. Members of the Mecnanics' Fire Engine Company and the llope llook and Ladder Company, your en terprise and liberality in making this long journey to the North tx tort our admiration, aud assure us that while as firemen you would at the first alarm rush to conquer the flames and rescue those in peril, so will you, if the time shall ever need you, join with us in preserving the beautiful temple of the American Union from all incendiaries, be they foes without or traitors within. And now let us mingle with one another and talk in a less formal way of the associations that cluster around us. The Captain of the Hope Hook and Ladder Com pany, No. 6, of New Orleans, Henry Swan, made a short response on behalf of hi brethren. After a thorough examination oi the hall, etc., they visited the steeple and then left for the Mint, the Academy of Natural Sciences, abd Ulrard College. To-morrow they will visit Atlantic City, at the in vitation of the lllbernla Engine. n Baltimore JTedaeo fflarJiot.

Washington, July 1. Commander Sol fridge reports to the Navy Department that he has completed the survey of the San Bias route for the Darlen Intcroceanic Canal, as far as the season would permit, on the 11th of June. After detailing the operations of the expedi tion as published in The Teleobaph yesterday, Commandor Selfrldge continues: lie cannot with certainty speak of this route for canal purposes until he obtains the levels of Mr. Kelly's survey. This line, however, Is the shortest on the continent only twenty-six miles of excava tion and twelve miles by river, which has a depth of eighteen feet at low tide, and a most magnificent harbor en the Atlantio coast. The whole Atlantic slope on the Kan Bios route has been thoroughly re connoitred, and the position of hills and val leys on the route of the line mapped down, ex ceptlng the valley of the Uartl river, which would take but a few days to finish. The expedition has surveyed and obtained all the necessary Information to pronounce upon three different lines of transit across the Isthmus of Darlen. There remain only three other lines to be sur veyed to give all the desired information as to the practicability of cutting a canal across this isthmus. These three lines are, first, by the Tuyra and Paya rivers, across to the Cacariea Lake and via the Atrato to the Atlantic ; second, by the Tuyra river,' across the Cordillera and the Tanela rivers, to the Bay of Ksconddo, a few miles above the mouth of the Atrate ; third, from the mouth of theAxmlla,a small river near Cane Tlburon, across to tbe Tuqueza river, to the Chuqunaqua, and then west to the Gulf of Larleu. Commander 8elfridge speaks very encouragingly o( the success of the expedition, and suggests a continuance of the surveys as soon as the dry season commences, by the same party, as they have gained experience that would take a new party another season to acquire, and the knowledge acquired by the young naval otllcers, who have be come good surveyors, would not then be lost ; and also, that there is a large amount of material re maining that could again be made use of but not saleable, and which would become useless by long storage. Tbe survey of the other three remalatog routes, conducted upon the same small basis as the bast expedition, would require but a small amount. Two vessels, one stationed at the mouth of the Atrata, and another small one lu the Tuyra river would meet all the lequirements. Naval Alattere. Captain William E. Leioy, Commander Thomas Fattlson, Lieutenant-Commanders Robert F. Bradford and Charles S. Norton, Lieutenant Thomas F. Wade and Captain Wil liam II.

From the If. Y. Herald. The feature of to-day was the ease and abun dance in the money maricet. Borrowers on prime collaterals were readily accommodated at a per cent. Lenders were unable to obtain higher than 4 per cent, on the ordinary collaterals. In the dis count market prime double namos and short datefce ceptances are in request at5)tf to 0 per cent. Capi talists are anxious to employ their funds for the balance of the Bummer, which season promises to be one of extraordinary ease in money. Between the 1st and 15th of July about 8?5,ooo,ooO will come on the market from coupons aud corporate dividends. Leading authorities In the street prophesy a two per cent, money market until the arrival of the fall demand for funds to move the new cotton and grain crops. "1 he strength of the gold market continues to surprise those who had looked for a decline below 110 before the close of the fiscal year (which terminates to-day), especially as the market has been receiving dally a large accesstou from the Sub-Treasury in the shape of the prepaid interest due July l. its rally on the eve of the payment, of these instalments of interest Is not exceptional in the present Instance. It will be remembered it did so last May, and has done so on every occasion of a similar character. The reason lies in the predilection of Wall street to discount the future. The July gold was sold from June 1 by the 'bears,' and, now that the market does not go down on the actual d.sburscmeut, they are the first to grow timid aud cover their contracts. Were it not for the bears, who sold gold 'short' after the Ketchum-Boyd affair, the price would have declined before this to a figure below 110. Its firmer tone Is, moreover, assisted by the strength of the foreign exchanges, the leading bankers refusing to draw at less than specie shipping rates during the Interval between the old ana new cotton orops. This situa tion of affairs suggests that the Ketchum-Boyd party would have had a better prospect of success had they begun operations a few months later. Although gold Is urmer, it is dull ; and while the price may advance a tew per cent, in the reaction from the recent decline, particularly as the 'bears' have made it unnaturally scarce by selling more than was legitimately ottered to be sold, it presents no speculative attraction, and the operators who buy for large gains find no promise of speeay wealth in Its tamer fluctua tions as compared with other departments of the street. Moreover, It is very certain that the admin istration at Washington will not sutler gold to advance very Bharply. General Grant and Secretary Boutwell are In accord upon the intention that gold shall present a declining premium at the close of each fiscal year of their term of service. The Assistant Treasurer paid out to-day, on account of the July interest, f 1,279,409 69, making a total since Tuesday of 4,967,3b4." latest smrr L0 LVTKULIUEACK.
