'.There ere people who-Seemed to be in fatuated enough .to suppose that the Demo cracyof Pennsylvania would fight, like Swiss mercenaries, in any .cause and for any princi ples their leaders might espouse; that they would sustain . Bdohahah in 1858 against Popular Sovereignty as cheerfully as they sustained hiin in 1856'when he was committed for fair play in Kansas. The . official reform of the Congressional vote at our late election will enlighten such individuals, and enable them to form a better, estimate of the honesty and intelligence Cf the Democracy of this State. In .1856 James Bucuahau received ln 1858 the Oon- .who only represented in a modified' form the odious 'features of hl6 policy, received but 134,038 votes, and wore in a minority of 73,672. In 1866 the Democracy carried fifteen ont of' the twenty-five Con- the'late election the Le comptonites were in a minority in every district, except the “ Tenth.. Legion,”- where Dunac&r escaped dolbat by a majority of less than i4ody: by a constituency which bas in formertlmps.: sent Democratic Bepresentatires to Congress by larger majorities than any other district in the United States. This Congressional vote speaks volumes of the popular abhorrence of Leopmpton tests, the English bill finality, and the persecution*'of Douglas. . There is ne State more devotedly attached to the Democra tic party, for the.sake of the party, than Penn syivanlf has repeatedly shown j and it is this devotion alone which has given even a decent show of strength to the Lecompton Congressional candidates, for many thousands voted for them who totally disapproved of their course, and whoso mental verdict wticn tlfey. heard of their, defeat/was like that of the ■Western them rjght.” • < rvponrANi;SAr.* or Kbal Estate,—Thomas - * &i>VBa!B,'to-ißorr6iT 6Venlng, wlir bo worthy • tbeatjentlon ofoapltalists, businessmen, and otiior«," dqlnpriBing a : largo amoant of arst-olnss i ‘ PKrpqrty; to bo sold peremptorily.

The immense clasß of newspaper readers in. elude very few who possess the tact necessary for editorial writing. They may have admi rable and suggestive Ideas, but it is scarcely to he expected that they can seize, by intui tion, upon the proper way ol saying what they want. . .“We are constantly favored with communi cations, upon all subjects under the sun, which the writers “ kindly tender to us, “as editori als!” Alas t that we are compelled to decline a marvellously large majority of them, and, in the rar© instances when we do accept these offerings, modity and change them, so that their authors cannot always recognise them in ptirit. Wo should like the world to know that editors do hot desire such contributions. At the same time, we like to receive, and we largely publish, communications. We should do so yet more extensively, if our friends wbuld remember the necessity, in a daily journal, crowded with advertisements, of being concise; Great force is there in brevity. Here is a volunteered editorial about the Franklin Institute Exhibition. Wo shall not adopt it—not we. And there is the less need to call upon ns to write on that subject, seeing that,-up to the present time, The Press has said a great deal more about this Exhibition than any other paper. Wo have done this largely and cheerfully, and we shall continue to do it. The Exhibition is a very superior one, a credit to our State, and more especially to Philadelphia, the greatest and most pros perous manufacturing city in the United States. Our manufacturers, our mechanics— all classes will be benefited, because they will be instructed by visiting it. More especially, would we have young people of both Boxes frequent visitors to this Exhibition. Were we at the head of a large educational establishment, the children under our care should visit the Exhibition twice a week. Such yisiis twoulcl improve them more than six .months’ hard and dry study of Science, and the elements of Art and Mechanics. Pa tents ought €o take their families to seethe miracles of skill and utility which human inge nuity, by the aid ot the intellect derived from the Creator,* has here presented. We should he glad to find that the public appreciate, as fully as it deserves, this fine collection. It is unu sually good,'this year, and speaks throughout the land what the enterprise, ingenuity, and sagacity of our mechanics—the noble army of homy-fistedmen, who realize here “the no bility of labor have done for the public ad vantage. Every medal awarded by the Frank lin Institute gives a direct and great impetus to industry, enterprise,'and talent. And these things build up a nation’s greatness. We shall indeed be gratified, at each succes sive visit of our own, to find the Exhibition more and more crowded. On Saturday it gave ns pleasnre to see so many of the fair sex, much interested in the splended array be fore them, and warmly discussing the com parative beauty and merit, of many articles. They neglected nothing, from Cornelius & Baker’s beautiful chandeliers and articles of oertu , which met their view on entrance, to . Shobkaker’s piano-fortes, and the Old Do -1 minion coffee-pots, which have become house hold institutions, so the Exhibition will close , in less than a fortnight. There Is very little , time to be lost. Bank of Pennsylvania Property* As.every body knows—for it was advertised in our columns, which every one reads, of course—that magnificent building, intended for occupation as the Bank of Pennsylvania, comes under the hammer of Mr. M. Thomas —who gives some terrible knock-down blows with that little implement—at the Exchange, to-morrow evening. We mention, for the benefit of mitiionaires who may be intending purchases, that the sale Is fixed for seven o’clock, precisely,'and that Hr. Thomas is punctuality itself. However, a great many other valuable lots will be disposed of, before this new Banking operation is commenced. Stocks, insurances, dwelling-houses, stores, (arms, country-seats, brown stone mansions, stables, building lots, the “Camel Tavern,” on Delaware Second street, etc., all must be sold. Some are Orphans’ Court sales, some by private owners, some under pressuro from the Sheriff, and some by peremptory order of Assignees.,,.- ' - Under this last category the Bank of Penn sylvania, Mo. 20 in the list, occupies a place, indeed, it may be called “ the observed of all observers” at this sale. Since Mr. Thomas sold the Bank of the United States building, now the Custom House, for $388,000, in the year 1886, there has been no property before the public, for competition at auction, nearly* so great as this. There Is something magnifi cent, even exciting, in the mere conditions of sale, viz: Terms—s 150-000 of the purchase-money may re main on the banking house, seonred by bond and mortgage, balanoe oash on tho execution of the leed, say within sixty days from sale, or the whole may be paid in oash, at the option of the purohaser. $2,500 cash to be paid at the time of sale. Xt takes away a man’s breath! This is the very “Leviathan” of tho sale-room. The more deposit, when the lot is knocked down, is $2,500. In each of the previous ten Bank lots, the deposit is only fifty dol lars in each case. How the Leviathan over tops theml For the sake of the creditors of the Bank, we hope that the building will sell well. It is admirably well adapted for the banking business, for which it was spe cially erected. Perhaps one or two of tho Banks will buy It—perhaps the City may secure it fbr publio offices, (what a Record office it would make!) —perhaps some pri vate individual may become the owner of the finest private-business edifice in the State, perhaps we might say, in the Union. Immediately after this is disposed of the property (land and buildings) back of this building and of the adjacent Farmers’ and Mechanics’Bank will bo sold. We are told that it is one of tho most valuable building lots in the city as a business location, situate between Chestnut and Market and Fourth and Fifth streets, with a large front on Merchant street, and an entrance through Ranstead place to Fourth street. Allowing for the forty feet street which is to be made between Fourth and Fifth streets, this lot will be one hundred and thirty-one by ene hundred and twenty-one feet, with two valuable fronts—Merchant street and Ranstead place.'. It might be di vided into six lots of twenty feet by one hun dred and thirty-one feet, or twelve lots of twenty feet by sixty.five and a half feet, and is well worthy the attention of capitalists, builders, &c. Of the purchase money $46,000 may rest on mortgage. We give considerable prominence to these sales because the result is of the most vital interest to tho creditors of the unfortunate pro prietors of the Bank of Pennsylvania, and the great value of the property makes it an objobt of considerable Interest. There will be a large attendance at the Exchange to morrow eve ning. Proceedings of the Synod of the Ger> man Evangelical Reformed Church. TKOBSDAr UOHSIBO BBBBIOX. rhaportsd for the Press.

Aboii-Strket Theatre.— A variety of standard oomedies, which employed the whole strength of the very effioient company, has drawn oapltal houses during the past week. A new afterpieoe, called “ The Widow’s Husband,” adapted from the Frenoh by that rising young no tor, Mr. Show ell, has been produced with buqooss, and is likely to take a permanent plaoe in tho repertoire of this theatre. Mr. Wheatley takes the Benefit to-night, tho prinoipal pieco being Cumberland’s oomody of “Tho West Indian,” the first time for fifteen years. To show how very finely this play is like ly to bo aoted, we subjoin the oast: 8e100ur..... Mr. Wheatley. Stookwell. Mr. John Gilbert. Captain Dudley. .Mr. Dolman. Charles Dudley.. Mr. Sbewell.

Of oourse, Mr. Wheatley will have a groat house. He is a good manager, a fine actor, and a popular gentleman. Mr. J. S. Olarko has his benefit on Saturday evening. The pieoes announeed are “ The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” (first time in twenty years,) with Clarke as Launee , and Leman Rede’s “ Rake’s Progress, or Three Degrees of Crime prinoipal parts by Messrs. Wheatley, Shewell, and Clarke, and Mbs Emma Taylor and pretty Kate Nagle. We shall be glad to find that Mr. Olarko has a full house. He is that best sort of aotor—a constantly improving one.- Walnut-street Theatre.— Mrs. Bowers had a crowded house on Saturday evening and the au dience had the fullest oause for being satisfied with the entertainment. We have “ assisted” at many benefits, when what are oailed “crack pieoes” are usnally presented, and not boon half so muoh pleased. A new play, by Mr. Tom Tay- lor, evidently of Parisian origin was the first pieoe. It is oailed (< Retribution; or, The Fate of a Liber tine,” and runs through four aots. Ofthisdrama, the hero is a oertaln Rodolph do Mornao, known all through the pieoe, as Count Priuli. This character was remarkably well played by Mr. Perry. For the first time, he showed us that, when he pleases, he can be an excellent actor. A certain harshness in his voioe, whioh is unpleasant in some of his parts, was almost neoeseary in this. He had to play tho r6le of an accomplished gentle man, and he filled it thoroughly. He acted natu rally, gracefully, and, in the diffioult passionate scenes, most effectively. Contrasted with him. was a iree-and-easy man of sooiety, named named Oscar de Baupre, a gentleman of iaoile manners and indifferent morals, who has seduoed the wife of Count Friuli, some ton months be fore, in her husband’s absenoe, and now, though married to a oharming and affeotionate wife, is seoretly playing fust and loose, in a dreadful man oer, with the wife of one Monsieur Mortsset, a Parisian banker, whose ambition is to be a man of ton, bat makes an amming exhibition of himself, with his odd manners, his immense beard, and his remarkably “ loud” apparel. Mr. Keaoh appeared as De Baupre, and we do not imagine that the part oonld have been better played, so easy and so natural was the acting. Oar very espeoial favor ite, Mrs. Bowers, was a most fascinating Madame de Baupre. She rose in her action, with the pas sion of tho plot, into something of power whioh was thrilling ot times, and sometimes almost pain fully pathetio in its earnestness. Priuli, person ally unknown to De Battpre, has made his ac quaintance, and purposes “ improving” it to gain revenge, by seducing Madame de Baupre. He, obtains influence with her, by reveal ing the sooret of her husband’s intrigue with Morisset’s wife. He nearly effoots her ruin, (in a most powerful and finely aoted scene,) but his bettor angel prevails, and he spares her. It must bo stated that Madame Moris • set never appears. Her husband repeatedly flits across k tho ’scene, and his eooontrio extravagance Is a relief in such a drama. Mr. Riohlngs played his part to the life, was highly entertaining, and made the extravagance of the situation, tho dia logue, and tho attire all combine Into something very outre and laughable, but yet, one’s judgment must admit, very like what tho author intended. But we need not delay to praise Mr. Etchings, who is a very fine artiste , whatever part he takes. There !b a Madame de Pommettars, at whoso “re ception” tho first scene is laid. She has nothing to do. Miss Laross(a tall and rather well-look ing yonng lady whom we have not previously no ticed) looked very well, In handsome costume, in this part. We hate the unprofitable labor of giving soene by soene the plot of a drama. We only say, therefore, that Pntdi's brothor, from causes whioh wo need not dwell upon, foroesa duel upon De Baupre , and gets run through the body. He is brought to the house of Priuli , by De Baupre , who does not suspect tho relationship. They arrive jast as Madame -De Baupre Is herself in the house. Tho moment that Priult knows it his brother, who has been w ounded, he himself, is recognised by De Baupre , and startles him by declaring that Madame De Baupre, then in his apartment, is impu re. A duel ensues, fought with great skill, and at some length, by Mr. Perry and Mr. Keaoh, and the latter falls. His wife rushes In to help him, and is repulsed by the dying man. Priuli, at tho last moment, finding his brother dead, deolares to De Baupre that his wife is innocont. She reoeives bis parting breath, and tho onrtain falls. The duel is truly a sensation— soene of unusual Interost and skill—though fought, not with swords, but fenoing-foils, with the but tons on. The opening soone, as wo have said, is in a fashionablo drawing-room, at Paris, at an evening or dress reception. Gartner, who was one of the guests, playing oards with De Baupre , was in suoh undress as a Bhabby Al paca summer-surtoat and thlok shoes, over risible gray-blue socks. He wore the game appropriate attire throughout tho pieoe, with the additioa, in the duel soone, where he was one of the seconds, of a pair of olumsy gloves, whioh, in an early state of sooiety, may have been white. Surely, Mr. Riohlngs, as stage manager, did not notice, else ho cortainly would have prevented suoh a solecism in oostume. After an enoored Chinese pas dc trois. by tho Misses Gale and Jackson, in whioh they oxoited muoh laughter, by the ludiorous manner in whioh each successively squatted down with remarkable aplomb, and Dr. Canning ton’s popular and well arranged Irish quadrilles, there was played a three-act nautical drama, cailod “ The Lost Ship, or the Man-o’-War’s Man and tho Privateer.” This is a curious mixture of the terrible and the ludicrous. The former part chiefly lay between Mr. Conway, who played a sailor with great spirit and efleot; Mr. Young, who was the prime villain of the drama, and Mr. Eborlo, as a superstitious and drunken German Privateers’-Man. Mrs. Conway, the heroine of the pieoe, mado maoh of a small part. The fun was ohiefly con tributed by Mr. Frank Drew and Mr. Ilemple— the former as a gardener, who has an affinity for something considerably stronger than the lemon ade wbioh constitutes our own favorite beverage, and the latter, in the line of hoavy amusement, as an auctioneer and pawnbroker. The amiable damtel, whom both love, known to mortals by the mnndano title of Sally Popple, was Miss A. Wilks—a lively actress, who will oblige the publio by belioving our assurance, that one necessity of good playing is the not laughing at what may bo said, or done, or even looked on tho stage. Bhe was on the broad grin at sundry of Mr. Frank Brew’s very laughable extravagances, (he is the best drunken man on the stage,) but we hold that the pleasure and privilege of laughing at him b: - longs te the audienoe, and not to any one before them, in the play, There is a storm at the close of tho aeoond not, wbioh, for loudness, could not be surpassed. Like the stuffed animals at petty shows, “ larger than life and twioe moro natural,” this tempest-beat the aotnal ocean-tempests en tirely “ into a cooked bat,” Tho thunder wa g much more deep-voiced than any thing generally hoard, in ordinary underground arrangements. The play, however, is well got up and noted, and, with its intensity and fun, Is likely to have a run. This evening, a new drama, in a prologue and three aots, by Wobster and Coade (of London) will bo produced. It bears tho title of “ Louise Durand, tho Queen of the Market,” and wo seo by tho bill that it is strongly oast. The Ravblb.—The time of tho Ravels, at tho Aoademy of Music, is nearing a dose. This even ing they will give the ballet of “ Rose and Pa pilion,” and the pantomime of “ The Golden Egg,” a very amusing affair, in which Gabriel and Frangois Ravel appear. Yroa Mathias figures in the ballet. Signor Blitz.— This wonder-working magioian, who seems to have an exbaustless budget of novel ties (we believe he invents them in his dreams,) continuosat Assembly Hall, (Tenth and Chestnut,) and performs every evening this week, with after noon receptions on Wednesday and Saturday. Spalding’s Concert.—Tho groat prize, or ra ther the great “ Presents Concert,” comes off this evening, at Musloal Fond Hall, and there will? undoubtedly, be a great attendance. Only 1,600 tickets are lesaed, and, as the Hall holds 1,800 porsons, there oannot be a crowd or or&sh. The programme of performances is capital—but we suspect that the expeoted Presents will be the chief attraction. Letter from John Morrissey.—"Wo have received from one of Morrissey’s frionds, says tho Troy Budget , Oct. 23; a copy of the letter sent to the Clipper three or four days previous to the fight.

I beard two or three days since that the Cabinet had remonstrated with the President on the injudicious and highly impolltio oourse of the Union towards Douglas, and urged upon him to silenoo the indisoreet oourse the edi tors of that paper were pursuing. There .is no | doubt they -tfere encouraged to it and urged on by the President, and whether he sees the error of the oourse and will take wit in his anger, I am | unable to say. You, however, know the old Ro man adage, that “ whom the gods wish to dostroy i they first make mad.” | I have not conversed with any officer of the I navy who does not anticipate the failure-of the Paraguay expedition from the inadequacy and ; unfitness of the vessels employed, the inevitable result of whioh would be the necessity of fitting out in the spring a formidable expedition of suit ! able vessels, with a considerable land force, at an expense of millions of dollars, in order to make suooess certain and retrieve the disaster. All the naval officers are on the qui vive on this point, and many are presenting themselves as volunteers in oaso of 6noh an event. Under the provisions of existing laws twelve sloop-of-war steam vessols are now constructing at the different naval dock yards, all of whioh, with any degree of efficiency on the part of the head .of the be finished and equipped in the spring, and most, if not all, of these vessels would bo admirably suited for the servieo; but, instead of whioh, small and inefficient little vessels like the Water Witoh and Arotio, with all tbeir machinery ex posed, are aeleoted, and to them are added some six or Beven merchant steamers, equally or more unsuitable to tho suooess of tho enterprise. The honor of the flag, and the lives and reputation of brave and honorable men, are intrusted to snob means. Suoh is the fatuity that governs that de partment, that it Is an aotual foot the Seoretary had agreed to purohase five of the canal ooal pro pellers, to be fitted out for this expedition,* and was with great difficulty persuaded from con summating the bargain by tho warm remonßtranoes of some of tho sonior officers, who deolarodltbeJr total unfitness, and that they could not. live to reaoh their destination. The plan, Itwas thought, was entirely abandoned, bat a friend mo a letter from Philadelphia, dated the 15th inst, from wbioh I take the following extraot: “ Mr. Touoey has actually pnrobased one of those Delaware and Raritan canal propellers, that oarry ooal, and sho 1b now at the navy yard-hero, preparing to go to Paraguay as a war steamer. How the offioers are disgusted and abuse him! They are ashamed to say what the tub is for, anS dare not look one in the face when they acknowledge it. It is, however, tho universal opinion that she will infallibly be lost at sea, and drown six or seven valuaCTe offi oers, and her orew, and thus save the navy the disgrace L of exhibiting her on a foreign station as one of our men-of-war.” You have the means of ascertaining tho correctness of the above state ment, and if (as 1 have no* doubt it is) true, you, as a publio journalist, should expose and denounce it. If, after what I know were the remonstrances and statements made to Mr. Toaoey about these vessels, be does intend to fit even one of them out, for suoh a distant and hazardous oruise, he is in* ourring a fearful responsibility. But it is in per fect keeping with his general management of the Department. You will notice by the published statements of the Treasury, that the large aooamulation from the ten millions recently paid in for the loon is rapidly diminishing; and though Mr. Secretary Cobb, nndor a temporary inerease in the eastern house receipts, said he would not require tho other ten millions he was authorized to borrow, I think ho must now be oonvinoed that heoannotgetalong without it; this would make forty millions whioh the present Administration has derived fromtrea eury notes and loans, adding, in the shape of inter est, about two millions to an already heavy annual expenditure. How long will the pooplo submit to trach a rapid inoreaso to the publio debt? not very long I ween, and Mr. Cobb must, In his annual re port, be prepared with some plan to obviate suoh a state of things. I understand that a favorltaridea with him Is a heavy duty on tea andoofiee ; hut he will never be able to get Congress to do so, and if he even did sneoeed, it would go but comparatively a small way towards remedying the evil. X. Letter from “ Occasional.” [Correspondence of The Press.] "Washington, Ootober 24,1558. I have at no time felt the force and accuracy of your expression, that the Administration was Ty lerised on tbe Lecoznptoa Issue, as I do now. With tho admissions by the Administration organs that overywhero in the North the Democratic party must suffer dofeat when it endorses tho Eng* lish bill, wo have language used in tho South against Mr. Buohanan, because of his war upon Douglas in Illinois and anti-Leoompton Democrats elsewhere, anything bht complimentary. Hear for a moment what tho Eagle of the South, pub lished at Jackson, (Miss.,) says: “ Booh a policy is a violation of tho spirit of our Government, and iB making the power of tho highest position of the earth the instrument to gratify the partisan feeling and personal hatred of a mere individual. Suob vengeanoe as Mr, Buchanan is now satiating is petty and contempti ble, and has nothing of loftiness about it. But the Fedoral patronage in lUinoisoannot beat down such a man as Douglas. Douglas is there, a living, breathing, active, and powerful foroo. Mr. Buchanan, with all his mercenary troop, is not a mate for the man who is pro-eminent in intellect, unsurpassed in aotivity and vigilsnoo, with an un questioned popularity We predict that Douglas will triumph over the stolid fatuity and malignant persecution of the Administration, and its jackal, tho Washington Vtiton.” In this position of antagonism to the Adminis tration, because it makes every issuo bend in conS formity to its personal wishers, regardless of tbo principles and pledgos of the party, the Eagle of the South is not solitary. Journals in almost every Southern State ore with it, and on occasions utter, if possible, more fierce and biting invective, But the letter of Vice President Breckinridge, sustaining Douglas against the assaults of the Xfnion and the office-holders in Illinois, has croa ted the greatest sensation, and since its publication the Union and Star havo indulged in a few “ brilliant flashes of silence.” Breokinridge comes out tardily, to be sure, and one may now,’ if he oan, forget the expression of his first speeoh of the campaign in Kentucky, that the insignia of offioo should be stripped from every official who deollned to swallow Leoompton “pare and sim ple.” In fine, all the Bigns of tho times are—and this letter of the Vioe President is one of the most notable—that on its Kansas test the Admin istration must go down before tho universal storm of popular indignation it has raised. The party must live—and we have tho Bible story of Jon&h and the ship. It is stated in a Mobile paper, that on a certain day a sailing packet will start with emigrants for Nicaragua. Whether theso emigrants are to asso ciate, and go oat as Thayer’s companies have gone to Western Virginia and Kansas, I can’t say; but I do know that from thoso who visit us from the sunny South we have sly hints and dark insinua tions that the war cry of the filibusteros will soon again be borne upon the southern breeze. It is hardly possible, however, that any respectable body of men will be deluded into such soheme- There are so many proteotors for Nicaragua— Monsieur Belly and Fr&noe, Gore Oueely and Eng land, I Lamar and the United States, and San Salva dor and Guatemala and Honduras and Costa Rioa, with a distracting variety of long named generals, half white and half—something else—that the red shirtod and to-the-teeth-nrmed invaders will have hut sorry luck of it. I would be glad, as others would no doubt, to see a gonuine emigration to Central Amerioa from ourshoros; for it is time, Barely, that the destiny of those rich and import ant territories should be taken from tho weak hands that now control it. It is stated that Mr. Dallas will resign, or be re called, from tho Court of St. James, at the dose of this year, or of tho coming session of Congress. His suooessor is not mentioned. It is to be pre sumed that the perso7inel of our foreign service will then be finally arranged for this Administra tion. The Cabinet have long disouseions on foreign questions, and tho oondition of the finances. It is not at all unlikely that the present tariff will be adherod to, upon the ground that it has not had a fair and full trial. If so, another loan must be negotiated, and thon • The matter, indeod, is calculated to give trouble to Congress, and bo the source of not a few heated contests. The Intellu gencer grows jubilant, and starts anow in its edi torials of eighteen-forty. So we go.

Important Telegraphic Arrangements*- I A Move in the Right Direction* 1 Nbw Yohk, Oct, 241—The “ North American Tele- I graph Association,” oomposed of tho leading com- 1 panics now owning or working the main telegraph lines I from Newfoundland to New Orleans, and from Quebec I to the western border of Missouri, oloßed a three-days I session in this city on Saturday. The Association was I organized by tbe appointment of Peter Cooper, Esq,, j of this oity, as presidentj Charles A. Mann. Esq ,of I Utica, vice president, and A A.Lovett, Esq., of this 1 oity, secretary, I ' A large delegation from the several Companies interest- I ed was present, and the practical bnslness-liko manner I in whioh the matters for advisement were disposed of, 1 gives promise that the business of telegraphing has at last fallen into hands competent to systematize and make it, as it should be, a means of reliable and rapid communication throughout the -whole extent of this I country. Amongst the important subjects of conside-1 ration, we understand, was the early construction of a | reliable Hue to California and Oregon. A committee i was appointed to take this matter in hand, and adopt prompt and efficient measures for the prosecution of the important work. A long-desired reform was adopted in the uniform mode of counting the words constituting a message. Another subject was, a better union for the improve ment and protection of telegraph interests, aiming at increased facilities, with an ultimate reduotion of the to'ls. Another feature of the objects of the Association was the better regulation of the connections of the va rious lines, with a view of enforcing a more promptcor reetion of errors, and more strict and satisfactory to pubtie. These and many other kindred subjects, tendiogto sys. I tematizethisimportantbusiness, occupied thedelibera- I tion of the Association, and If carried out in good faith as os we have no doubt they will b*, will greatly improve this branch of the publio convenience in tbe communication of its vast wants, both of a social and mercantile character. The Association is composed of ! the New York, London and Newfoundland Telegraph j Company, the American Telegraph Company, the New | York and Buffalo Company, the Western Union Com pany, the Atlantio and Ohio Company, the Illinois) Missouri, lowa and Wisconsin Company, the New Or leans and Ohio Company, and the Montreal Company, having an aggregate capital invested of between Are and six millions of dollars, and operating between thirty and forty thousand miles of wire. We also learn that arrangements are in progress, if not already consummated, by whioh the House Print ing Telegraph line between New York and Washington is to be consolidated with the lines of the American Tolegraph Company, thus placing tbe latter company in immediate communication with Philadelphia, Balti more, and Washington, and removing the last obstacle In the way of a speedy extension of the “ Printing Telegraph lines ” along Ihe seaboard to New Orleans. The central offices in this city for all the above named telegraph companies are at No 21 Wall street and No. 8 Merchants 1 Exchange. From California**ATrival of the Over- Ft. Louis, Ootober 28.—The Overland California mail of the 27th ult., four data later, has just arrived. This mail does not bring any papers from which tbe news ean be obtained, but arrangements are beingper feotedby whioh regular exchanges will be established between St. Lonls and San FnncSeco. [The agent of the Associated Press was not aware until very recently that the mail would not bring papers from California. This unexpected arrangement of the post office will probably prevent tbe reception of proper reports of California news by that route for a few weeks, but the earliest possible arrangements will be made at Pan Francisco for a semi-weekly letter to be telegraphed from the nearest telegraph office in Mis souri.] New York, October 23.~Demerara dates to Septem ber 29th have been received. The segar crop was nearly all gathered, and it proves to he the most abun dant for twenty years past. Business was dull at Ber bice and Demerara.

Additional from Mexico. .Washington, Oct 28. 1858.— New Orleaos papers re ceived hero contain the particulars of the defeat of Vi daurri by Miramon. The former wis not on the field when the engagement commenced, and his army ap pears to have been attaoked when least apprehensive and prepared for it. The rumors at Brownsville were that the defeated army lost fire hundred men. killed, and that two thou sand of them were taken prisoners, with their artillery and provisions. An express from Monterey to Matarao ras, however, says their loss was not so great, and that only a portion of the artillery and munitions were cap tured by Miramon’s forces, and that the liberal party made tbeir retreat from the field in good order. An official peper received at Monterey, says that VHaurrl has already sent orders to the commander of Tampico, f«r another park of artillery (where thrre is plenty to be had), which wilt soon be in tho field, to gether with the many forces concentrating about Vl daurri, to renew tbe attack. Colonel Gaudalupe Garcia was to leave Tampico on tho 3d instant for the interior, with three hundred Infantry and three pieces of ar tillery.

Rochester, October 23.—Ira Stout, convloted of the murder of hia brother-in-law, was executed here, yesterday. At fifteen minutes past two o’clock the procos sion, beaded by Deputy Sheriff Warner, reaohod the jail. The military were drawn up in lines so as to open a passage to the jail. As soon as they had arrived and taken the places assigned thorn by the officers, the prisoner, Ira Stoat, was brought down from his room to the gallows. He wns sup ported by Deputy Shoriffs Pond and Marrill, and followed by his spiritual advisers, Messrs. Hotch kiss. Gutting, and Boardman, and others. The prisoner was arrayed in a suit of black, and wore on bis head a white eap. His step was toler ably firm considering the fAot that ho had a spell of fainting about noon. On reaohincr the gallows he took a soat, while Deputy Sheriff Warner read the death warrant in a distlnot and forolble man ner. At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. War ner told the prisoner that the time bnd arrived to put the warrant into execution, and that if he had Anything to say ho bad now an opportunity. Stout did not rise, but while seated, in a olear and firm voioo, said: Gentlemen : I am of opinion that thero has been oonßidorablo vindictiveness in this matter, and where thero is vindiotivenesa it is difficult to apeak. I have left my oraole, whioh contains an expression of my feelings as a dying man, and that contains all I have to say. , Rev. Mr. Hotchkiss, thon standing at tho prisoner's right, said he would read the whole of the fifteenth chapter of Ist Corinthians, at the request of the prisoner, tho prisoner meanwhile seated with his head supported by his right hand, At the oonclusion of the rending of the Soriptore, Mr. Hotchkiss said he would address the Throne of Graoe, hoping that the prisoner would find strength to follow in a short prayer. Mr. Hotchkiss then mode an improssive prayer, whioh interested the nudionae, if it did not the prisoner. The prayor concluded. Mr. Hotohkies conversed a moment in ftudibly with Stout, and then said that Stout de sired him to say that he did not feel strength to pray, but hoartily adopted tho whole of the prayer ho had just heard. The Deputy Shoriffs, offioors and friends, thon shook hands with the prisoner, and Deputy Sheriff Warner put tho rope about his neok and drew tho cap over his face. While the officers woro pinion lag bis arms, Stout stood quite oreot, and remained in that attitude till'the last. Ho was quite firm in his demeanor, and gave the same complacent smile to all» in bidding adieu, that ho gavo at all times, when conversing, since bis arrest. All being roady, and tho spectators standing In broathless silence, at twonty minutes past three o’olook, Sheriff Baboook palled tho fatal line, and Ira Stout was suspended three foot from the door. Not a sound wob heard in any dirootion, savo the heavy fall of tho weight whioh did tho fatal work. The death of tho ill-fated man was not as sud den as oould be desirod. His struggles for oigbt or ten minutes were severe and caused the specta tors te turn away in disgust. His neok was pro bably not dislooated, and ho died by the slow pro« cess of strangulation. Drs. Hall, Avery, James, and Mill®* stood near, and in eight minutes after tho drop fell, they said his Dulse was as full as in life. At the end of half an hour his body was out down and plaoed in the ooffin, preparatory to being taken to tho residenoo of his mother in Ex change street. Btout petitioned, in his own hand, for a commu tation of punishment. The petition iB written in ahold, firm hand. There are some few things, suoh asoapitalsandpunotnation misplaoed, that evinoo a defiefont education, but the spelling Is nearly faultless. There were no signatures attaohed to the petition os received by Gov. King, but it ap pears it was not tbe original paper, whioh was sub sequently laid before the Governor by the mother of the prisoner, with a largo number of signatures attached. . . Mrs. Stout was in Albany up to a late hour on Wednesday night, hoping against hope for some ohango in tho Governor's determination. Gov. King was not in that oity, but the poor woman awaited a tolegraphio despatoh from him with the most intense anxiety. She left for a final inter view with her son, entirely broken down in spirit.

On Friday night, Sat urday and Saturday night, there were brilliant throngs of ladies and gentlemen, and a decidedly increased ani mation was visible in the countenances of exhibitors, as well as the managers of the Institute. There was an increased motion of the machinery on exhibition, and the performances of the various engines, pumps, shel lera, shlogle machines, fen., attracted constant crowds of the interested and curious. Among the moat interesting and successful machines In this department, is the Triumph Corn Sheiler, pa tented by Mr. A. B Davis, of our city. The machine operates on an entirely novel principle, and Is so con structed and arranged that the whole power required m driving is expended in simply separating the kernels £?£* i with ? nt any grinding or tearing of the latter. The ears of corn are fed to the machine with an ordinary shovel, the stripped cobs passing out st the rear of the machine, wbUethe kernels fall through the grating Into a separate receptacle, thus avoiding the necessity of the additional and tedious process of sift ing, required in other Corn Shelters. We have seldom witnessed the operations of any mschinery with more pleasure than we have this Triumph Com Sheiler, and as a Philadelphia invention feel in it a natural city pride. Two spaces. of more then ordinary interest, are those occupied by two of our city Anns with assort ments of hollow-ware. First in the range will he found that of Messrs.- Btuart & Peterson, from the Spring Garden stone and hollow-ware foundry. Willow street, , above Thirteenth, who are manufacturers of enameled, tinned, and plain hollow-ware, tea-kettles, canidrors I wash-kettles, stone ware, copying-presses, tea and counter scales, and a variety of other artfoles suitable for the hardware trade. The article* exhibited by these gentlemen are of a most beautiful and attractive kind each piece of were being turned and finished by hand. | The porcelained article is particularly fine, and being enameled upon a smooth, instead of a rough surface, as most of this article of American manufacture is, ren ders it more durable, handsome, and available in every respect. This were must soon displace the m ro cum bronsstooe ware, sg well as supersede the English ar tie’e, which has heretofore supplied the market. ' Above the stand of this firm, some two or three paces, will be found the collection of Messrs. Leibrandt, McDowell, & Co , of the Philadelphia Stove Works, Noble-street wharf, who display a very creditable as sortment of hnllowware. embracing every variety of culinary utensils, porcelamed and tinned. In point of capacity, there will be found hollers, holding worn one pint to twelve gallons, each piece shining io its polished brightness and beautiful enamel, almost rivaling any "flrerwarein its beanty and finish. The firm exhibi ting these artic T es is one of the oldest and staunchest in the city, and throughout the panic maintained its credit and business when almost every branch of trad* w *f In their employ are some two hundre d wllom they weekly imburse from $1 600 to *2 000, whilst they have a capacity for at least three hundred and fifty workmen. They are now melting down twenty-five tons or iron per day, and their works must present no ordinary scene of business, bustle, and energy. They have no stores on exhibition, although there are, In the collection of the Institute, a number of their manufacture and patents We do not believe there are any stands in the Institute at which persors will linger with more interest than at these of the hoi low-ware, and in which ladies particularly manifest more curiosity and pleasure. On the same floor, and fn the immediate range of these, will be found the collection of gum elastic coated sheetiron of Messrs W. Butcher & Son, Nos. 86 and 38 North Twelfth stree*. The article termed “Ameri can gam elastic impregnated sheet roofing iron,” is made by snbjeotlng the metal to a chemical process, (in which no acid is used,) in so complete and thorough a manner that the pores of the iron are opened when it i« immersed In a bath of dissolved India rubber. After being taken ont, It is placed in • suitable room for drying, and In a few hours is ready for nse—the being perfectly coated or enamelled. When thus pre pared It can be worked into any shape or form, without cracking or breaking, and the coating wIU stand the test of the most poweifnl acid. The artlole is exten sfrslyused for roofing depots, bridges, store-houses, dwellings, etc., in all parts of the United Btates, and Seams to be rapidly taking the place of tin and other metals used for such purposes. The exhibitors have kindly consented to roof the holler covering for the Franklin Institute, in which its qualities can be satis factorily seen and tested. We have bnt additional time and space, to-day. to notlco one other department, with more a general than snecial allusion. There is no department of the exhi bit on in which compelition|ruDB higher, which attracts more attention, or which is more deservedly interest ing, than that of the various sewing machines Ex perts, both ladies and gentlemen, are constantly en gaged In operating the maehines, explaining their pe culiarities and descanting upon their merits; and we have sometimes been induced to think that the many pairs of bright female eyes and smiling faces had more to'do with the curious longings of gentlemen than any thing peculiarly attractive in the instruments them selves We hare only space to notice, at present, two i of the machines on exhibition. HarrU’s improved sio | gle and double-thread sewing machines have attained | a deservedly enviable reputation as a family machine. I from the simplicity of Its construction, the perfection of its meeh&nism, the quiet manner in which it per forms its work, and Its high rate ofspetd To answer all purposes, an attachment has been added, enabling the machine to sew with one or two threads, whilst the change is easily made, and detracts nothing from Its simplicity. Another machine, which attracts the interested gssa of the visiters, is that of Wheeler A Wilson. This is one of the most thoroughly tested machines ever proffered to the publio, and in its adap tation to the varied uses of a family is all that could he desired or claimed. The experiments made at the Institute, by its operators, are of the most convincing and satisfactory character. Indeed, to such perfection have these machines been brought,(that it la almost im possible to conceive how so much ingenuity could be oemblned with so much simplicity. So cheaply ate they being furnished, too, that their purchase is placed within the means of almost every family; and it will not be long ere the old-fashioned, tiresome, slow, and tedious method of plying the needle will he superseded by a sewing machine, of some one of the many plans which are now manufactured and offered for sa'e. 8900 6680 6680 Terrible Row.—Bloody Work. — About two o’clock, yesterday afternoon, at Rldte avenue and Eleventh street. there was a row which created quite a sensation in the neighborhood. It appears that three men, named Pritchard, alias Shanghae, Wiliams and one unknown, went to the livery stables of Ur Otten seller, and called for a horse and canisge. The horse was hitched in the carriage, hat Mr. Ottenseller re fused to let them have it until he should receive pay. meat in advance for the hire. This the party re fus*d to do. Mr. Ottenseller then ordered the horse to be taken out of the vebio’e, when the three men made a rush at him. He turned and ran, and was chased by Pntehard with a large dirk which he drew from a cane carried by him. A crowd was soon attracted, and others joined in the fray. Ur. Ottenseller received two severe blows over the right eye, felling him to the ground. A brother of Ur. O. came to his assistance, but was compelled to fly for his own sa p ety. A man named Barney Haslck, who was standing In front of a cigar store at the forks of Bidge avenue {and Eleventh street, was attacked by the patties, one of whom drew a blackjack and struck him over the head, severely cutting his scalp and other* wise injuring him. Three officers were soon on the ground, but were unable to do anything for the mob. One of thorn, in attempting to make an arrest,'was knock ed down, and somewhat injured, losing his star in the encounter. Kuslck was taken to his residence, after having had his wounds properly dressed In a ntighbor- Ing ding store. No arrests were made. German Theatre Closed.— The German Stadt, as it in termed, has been opened on Sunday eights for theatrical entertainments. The location ia the o’d City Museum, at CallowbiU and Old York road. Chief Buggies hed orders to close the building, or rather to prevent Bunday-erenlog entertainment?, which he ac cordingly proceeded t> do, with a detailed force of his officers. At the usual hoar in the evening the house was opened and lighted, when the Chief of Police im parted to the persons present his instructions. To this there was considerab'e remonstrance on the part of the principal parties; bnt the crowd was dispersed, and per sons sent away as they arrived. There was so resistance, and no arrests, although there was anevi dent disposition on the part ofsome of the Germans to disregard the interference of the officers, and enjey their usual Bui>day-evenlng treat. An Alarm op Fire was occasioned, last even ing, by the barniog of an ash-box, Fifteenth below Market street, in a cellar. The engines were out, but beyond the pleasure of a run, had little for their pains. Broke ms Arm.—A young boy, son of Robert Warnock, residing in Germantown, fell from a swing, yesterday, and brokehis arm. SATURDAY’S PROCEEDINGS [Reported for The Press.] U. S.
