It is astonishing with what tenacity the peo ple of these States cling to the lime honored humbug of Usury Laws. The wisent mad in the land cannot point oat one partiole of good they do either to individuals, or to Bociety in general. The Ueary Law is violated every day in every commercial community; and it is considered dis. reputable and fraudulent to attempt to punish any one for taking more than six per cent, in terest for money loaned. By common consent the law is treated as a dead letter; and is utterly powerless for good. Bat while Usury Laws do no possible good, they do positive and great harm. They enhance the price of money. Conscientious people do not like to- violate law, and will not loan their money at six per cent Timid capitalists will not run tho risk of detection, and will invest their money otherwise, or hoard it. Six per cent, ia not considered a sufficient compensation for the use of raonoy in this country, where the demand for it is so great, and the risks of the lender so discouraging. If the borrower fails to pay the loan at maturity, five per cent, must bo ; paid to a lawyer to oollect it. For a loan at one year, this would leave the lender one per cent! for the use of his money. The risk of loss, as well as tho expense of collecting, prevents pru dent capitalists from loaning at six per cent. And money is hardly ever loaned at that rate, to any extent, in any business community in this country. ** From one to two per cent, per month ” is the common quotation, notwithstand- ing Usury Laws. . We would not wish to enhance the value of money; and we believe that the repeal of the -Usury Laws would not increase the rates usually paid. On the contrary, we have no doubt thtir repeal would rednee the rates now paid by increasing the amount offered for loan. So thoroughly impressed with these and similar views have thrcommercial communities and peo ple of England become, that the British Parlia ment has lately totally repealed all Eaory Laws. The repeal was carried by a large majority; and in England, now, money, like every other article of value and of commerce, is left to find its own price in the market, and be regulated, like ar ticles of food, by the relations of demand and supply. We hope tho example set by England will be followed by tho States of this country, la Pennsylvania, especially, such a reform is needed. In New York the legal Tate of interest is seven per cent. In this State it is six per cent. This fact has a tendency to draw off cap ital from this State to New York, where one per eent. more can be obtained without risk ; and it le well known that Pennsylvania capital is in vested in IJew York and other States, where a better compensation can be obtained. Oar Pennsylvania legislature is generally so folly employed with special legislation, as to leave no time for the enactment of wholesome and well-considered general laws. We know not what to expect, from tho position of the parries in the legislature next winter. If not too much employed in dividing the offices and spoils, in rewarding friends and punishing enemies, we may at least hope that a matter of such general interest as tiw. Wpeal of the Usury Law will receive attention. A very short act will do It. It will take but little timo, and will probably meet with but little opposition. The Battle of Alma—How many were ' Kngaged in it. % _ As the official despatches that we have seen do not state the number, it may be interesting to as certain the fact derived, from other souroes. The Buseians had 80,000 infantry, and 6,000 cavalry engaged at Alma. The Allies 40,000 infantry, with preserve corps of 16,000 men; of those in aotion, 18,000 were Frenoh and 22,000 English. The generalship of the Allied commanders was good, according to all accounts, but showed more confidence in the bravery of their troops than In any strategio operations. The fact of their having to advanoe steadily up hill, under a gall ing fire of'artillery and infantry, was of itself, sufficient to show that the French and English have not deteriorated since* Marengo and Water- But Mensohikoff, it is ooneeded, showed more generalship in his masterly retreat—even succeeding in carrying off his artillery entire, except two or three dismounted guns—than did Baglan or St. Arnaud. The* Allies were to have received reinforce ments by the 10th inst, when they would doubt less oommenco a vigorous siege, and Sebastopol would soarcely hold out long. If tho Russians CO ald hold their own until the 16th—when Oaten Saoken was expected to arrive with a largo num ber of troops—the struggle would be desperate.

It seems he was mistaken for Mazzinl, the Italian patriot The Amerioan, after hia release, went to Paris and consulted Mr. Mason, our minister there. Ho was advised to go back and demand redress, at least an apology. It was refased. If an Englishman eo treated, redress would be forthcoming at onoe. Bot with the timid foreign polioy of this country, until lately, and with the Whig party amongst us to applaud every act of foreign aggression upon the rights of our citizens, we suppose no redress will be obtained for this outrage. We have no doubt that if oor government un dertakes to enforce redress in this case, the Whig press will take the part of Switzerland. It woalu be difficult to name a oountry on the globe where an Amerioan not been imprisoned within the last ten years, and gene* rally without cause; and it would be still more difficult to namo an instance in whioh a Demo cratic administration has sought to punish ag gression upon Amerioan citizens or commerce, in which the Whig press has not taken the part of foroign nations. In this insUnoe,no harsh remedies need be ap plied. Send home the Swiss minister and con sols, if there are any, and thero let the matter drop. If a word of caution for the future was added. It wonld do no harm. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION-OFFI CIAL HETURNS. The official returns from every county in the State have been received, and foot np as fol- Qovernor. James Pollock, W. and K. N.

The Moniteur publishes some letters of Mar shal St. Arnaud, and his last order of the day: “On Board the Till® de Paris, \ September 12, 1854. / “ Monsieur le Marshal: —My situation with respect to health has become grave. On this day 1 have opposed to the illness that affiicts me all the energy I have been capable of; and 1 did hope for a long time that I was so sufficiently ac customed to suffor, that I was fit to exorcise command, without revealing to all the violence of the attacks I was doomed to endure. « But this struggle has exhausted my strength. I have been grieved to perceive of -lote, and es pecially during the recent passage, during which I was on the point of sinking, that the moment was approaching when my courage would not suffice to support the heavy burthen of a com mand requiring a'vlgor which I have lost, and ..which I hardly hope to recover. “ My conscienoe imposes it on me as 4 duty to explain to yon my condition. lam willing to hope that Providence will permit my fulfilling to the end the task 1 have undertaken, and that I shall be able to conduct to Sebastopol the army with which I shall loud to-morrow on the coast of the Crimea. But that 1 feel wilt be indeed a last effort, and I beg you to ask the Emperor that he will have the goodness to appoint my successor. “ Deign to accept, Monsieur le Marshal, the expression of my most respectfol sentiments. “The Marshal Commander-in chief, “ A. ds St. Ahkaud.” “ Head Quarters at the Bivouac on the Tthernaya, September 20, 1854. “ Monsieur is Marechal —My health is deplo rable. A choleraic attaok has just increased the sufferings l have so long experienced, and I have reached such a etatc of weakness, that to com mand I feel has become impossible. In this sit uation, despite the griefs it-ooousions me, Imuko it a point of honor and conscience to surrender i my authority into the hands of Gen. Canrobert, whom his Majesty's special order* design for my succeesor. “ The subjoined order of the day will acquaint you with what feelings I separate from my sol* diera, and renounce the pursuit'of the great en terprise—an enterprise for which fortunate be ginnings seem to presage a glorious issue. “ Deign to accept, Ac , “A. de Saixt Arbaud.” “ Head Quarters at the CiTouao of \ Menkendio, tfept. 2<j, 1662. j “Soldiers— Froridence refuses to your chief the satisfaction of continuing in the glorious way now opening to you.

I resign the com mand to Lieutenant-General Caorobert, whom, iu prorideot anxiety for this army, and for the great interests it represents, the Emperor has ineested me with the necessary powers by a scaled letter 1 hare now before me.

Hevenne ot the State- We clip from tho money article of the Phila delphia Ledger, the subjoined statement of the receipts from the several diriaons of the public workß for nine months of the fiscal year. The Ledger says: “Sometime ago we published a statement showing the receipts from each lino of the Pub lic Works of tho State, for eight months of the fiscal years 1868 and 1854, and we now add the month of August for the same years. On some of the lines there will be a heavy fall business, which will increase the gross amount of revenue for the year very considerably.

Tho receipts from the Delaware Division are large as com pared with last year, and whether this circum stance wilt tend to defeat a sale of the Work we cannot tell. There are ciroumstaaoes connected with the Delaware Division which are favorable to a sale, whioh no doubt will be considered by tho Legislature. The Lehigh Valley Railroad will be finished tho coming season, which will enable all the shippers of coal in .the upper waters of the Lehigh to take thedr ooal to York without transhipment. This will reduce the business of the Canal to that furnllbed by the Lehigh Navigation Company alone. The Canal, too, we apprehend, will soon, if not now, require a large expenditure of money to put it in good order.” Db.

Arrest or Ned Buntline vor Shooting a Colored Man.— The Bath (Me.) Mirror con tains the following despatoh, dated Bowdoinham, Me., Octobor 24th;— “E. C.

Ned says .he was assaulted by a mob of Irish, who seized his horse, and that he fired on them, upon which they fled. The per son referred to as having boon shot was a color ed man named Freeman. By his aooount of the affair, it appears Ned was tho aggressor. As Judson has been arrested, the matter will be thoroughly investigated, when we shall be able to give a true statement of the whole affair.

We therefore oopy the following from aeotempo rary: “ The notes must be protested by a Notary and lodged with the Auditor, who notifies the bank. The bank has then thirty days in whioh to redeem. If payment is not made |within the thirty days, the Auditor then proceeds to soil the stocks at public auction, and, (If we read the law right,) pay all protested notes in full, and then do the best he can for those who have not been smart enough to have their notes pro tested.” - A Chequered Career. —Bev. Thomas Chilton, alternately a lawyer, politician and olergyman, reoently died In Kentucky. In 1819 he was a member of the Kentucky Legislature, then a a olergyman, and snbseqnontiy twice elected a member of Congress, as a Jackson man. After wards he beoame a friend of Mr. Clay, and be ing a candidate a third time, was defeated. This was in 1881, hot in 1833 he was agaiasent to Congress, and in 1886 retired to private Hfe, and ended his days m a olergyman. • - t * “ v:> : - . > •: < . *r : jij* <a *>.l MMiM,x,j6juit_jaieuvrAimaiv• Jamas+ , - [Trom Household Word*, September 23.] .:r :.

If I were to lay of flfnnto* yean standing, I should not go beyond the mark; i if 1 were ever to say of seven-aad-twenty, I ought not go beyond the mark. But, lam not bound to commit myself, and therefore on this point I sayno more. , Of coureo I, as a barrister of the rightful amount of standing, mourn over the decline of the profession. How have I aeon it wither^an d decay! Within my time, John 800 andßichard Roe themselves have fallen victims to the pre judice and ignorance of mere laymen. In my time, the cheerful evening sittings at the Olu Bailey in the city of London have been discon tinued; merry meetings, after dinners, where I do not hesitate to say I havo seen more wine drunk in two or three hours, and have hoard better things said, than at any other con vivial assemblies of which it has been my good fortune to make one, Lord bless me! When I think of the joUy Ordinary mixing his famous salads, the Judges discussing vintages with the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, the leading humorists of the old 3aily Bar delighting, the Aldermen and visitors, and the whole party *oing socially back again into court, to try & fellow-creature, perhaps for his or her life, in the genial glow produced by suoh an entertainment—l say when ; I think of these departed glories, and the com monplace stupidity into which we have fallen, I do not, and I oanuot, wonder that England is going to ruin. 1 As my name is not appended to this paper, 1 and therefore I can hardly bo suspected by the ’ public of egotism, I will remark" that I have al • ways had a pretty turn for humor. I have a keen enjoyment of a joke. Like- those excellent witnesses, the officers of the forty sixth regiment k (better witnesses I never saw, even in a horse ’ dealer's case,—yet the public, totbeoo degener -1 ate days, has no sympathy will* them,) I don t at all objeetto its being practised. I like ajoke * to be legal or equitable, because my tastes are in that direction ; but I liko it none the worse for beiog practical. And indeed the best legal equitable jokes remaining, ore all of a practical nature. . , 1 use tbo word remalniug, inasmuch as the Icveliug spirit of the limes has destroyed some of the finest practical jokes connected with the profession. I look upon the examination of the parties in a cause, for instance, as a death-blow given to humor. Nothing can be more humor ous than to make a solemn pretence of inquir ing into the truth, and exclude the two people, who, in nine cases out of ten, know most about It. Yet is now a custom of the past, and so are a hundred other whimsical drolleries in which the fathers and grandfathers of the bar delighted. But, I am going on to present within a short compass a little collection of existing practical jokes—mere samples of many others happily still left us in law and equity for our innocout aausememenl. As I never (though I set up for a humorist) tell another man’s story as my own, 1 will name my authority before I conclude. The great expense of tho simplest suit in equi ty, and tho droll laws which force all English subjects, into a court of equity for their sole re : dress, in an immense number of cases, lead, at the present day, to a very entertaining class of practical jokes. I mean that ludicrous class in which the joko consist* of a man’s taking and keeping possession of money or other property to which .he even pretends to have no shadow of but which he seizes because he knows that the whole will be swallow*! up in flats if the rightful owner should seek to assert - his claim. 1 will relate a few stories of this kind.

An application to the Court of Chancery, in a friendly suit where nobody contested anything, to authorise trustees to adraaoe a thousand pounds out of an estate, to educate some infants, cost a hundred and three pounds, fourteen and sixpence; a similar application to the same au thority, to the same trustees, under tho same will, in behalf of eome other infants, cost the came: twenty similar applications under the same will, for similar powers fo the some trus tee*, in behalf of twenty other infante, or eete of infants, as their want* arise, will cost eaoh tha lime, A poor national acboolraaster Insured hia life for two bnndred pounds, and made a will, gir ing discretionary powor* to his oxeoutors to ap ply the money for the benefit of his children while under age, aud then to ditido it between them. One of the executors doubted whether, nndor this will, after payment of debt and duty, he could appropriate the principal, (that word being need in the instrument,) to baying the two email children into the orphan aeylnm. Tho sanction of the Court of Chanocry would cost at least half tho fuad ; so nothing oan be done, and tha two email children ere to be eduoated sad brought up on four pounds ten a year be tween them. *979,*00 91 *800.257 70 . 1?.*.238 44 121,702 96 .. 191,417 DO 107,41« 77 JOKE AQAINST MBS. HABEIS, Mrs. Harris is left the dividends on three thou pjunds stook for her life; the capital on herHaiwse to be divided among legatees. Mr. SpodMSa trustee aider the will whioh so pro rides for Mrs. Harris. Mr. Bpodger oae day dies intestate. To Mr. Bpodger’s effects Mr. B. Spodger and Miss Spodger, his brother and sis ter, administer. Miss Spodger takes it into her bead that nothing shall erer induce her to hare anything to do with Mrs. Harris* trust stock. Mrs. Harris, consequently, unable to receive her dividends, petitions Court of Equity. Court of Equity delivers judgment that it can only order payment of dividends actually due when Mrs. Harris petitions; that, as fresh dividends keep on ooming due, Mrs. Harris most keep on fresh ly petitioning; and that Mrs. Harris must, ac cording to her Catechism, " walk in the same all tho days of her life.” So Mrs. Harris walks at at the present time; paying for suoh application eighteen pounds, two and eigbtpence; or thirty per cent, on her unlortunate income. lam of opinion that it would be hard to in vent better practical jokes than these, ovor whioh I have laughed until my sides were sore. They are neatly and pointedly related by Mr. Graham Willmorc, queen’s counsel and a oounty court judge, in his evidenoe, given in May of the pres ent year, before a oommittee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the state and practioo of the county courts. But, lam pain ed to add, nevertheless, that my learned friend Willmore has not the slightest sense of humor, and iB perfectly destitute of any true perception of a joke. .. .. For ifhat does he recommend in the same evi donco’of hist Why, says he, these cases in volve “an absolute denial of jußtice; and if you would give the county oourt judges a limited jur isdiction in Equity, these things oould not possi bly ooour; for, then, suoh cases as the Witty Trustee’s and tho Medioal Choice Spun a, would be determined on their merits, for a fow pounds; while such applications as those in behalfof the Infanta would be disposed of for a fow shillings. Cut, what, I oak my learned friend, would be come of tho cream of the jokes ■ Are we to have no jokes t Would he make law and equity a dull, dreary transaction of plain right and wrong 1 I shall hear, next, of proposals to take our trigs off, and make us like common men. A few pounds, too! And a few shillings! nas my learned friend no idea that hundreds of pounds are far more respectable—not tosaypro fi table—than a few pounds and a few "hillingst He may buy sundry pairs of boots for a few pounds, or divers pairs of stookings for a few shillings. Is not Equity more precious than boots I Or Law than stookings f I am further of opinion that my learned friend Willmore falls into all hiß numerous mmtakes before this committee, by reason of this one curious oapacity in his constitution to “Jo? joke.
