DECEMBER 29. 1858. Dreadfully Frightened. Mr. Henrt Druubosd, one of tho mem bers of Parliament who represents West Surrey, has alwqysbeon known as an eccentric, clever, amusing, .truth-speaking man. With .his gaunt; figure and.Jong head (wholly ftee from hair) ho is easily recognised in the Honse of;Commons, and never falls to “ catch the Speaker’s eye;”,. He is how in his sevonty third year, and has beenj a British legislator since U 47. We might 1 call; him'a political buffo, only that he occasionally exhibits some thing like common sense—that rarest of all qnalities. Before ho entered Parliament, Mr. Drummond firmly believed in Edward Irving and the Unknown Tongues.' He has got out of this, long sinco, but the-having been so deluded has strengthened tho general opinion that; no matter how'much brain bis head con tains, there iso tile loosed " ’■ • His age, Immense wealth, and high reputa tion as an honest man, though odd, have givon him some influence. He believes in that, no doubt, .or he would.scarcely challongo public attention by publishing a pamphlet In reply to John Bmoht’s recent Birmingham speeches.,; In that missive, believing in'the hostile dasigbs of Napoleon 111, ho says: . “He is not the man to do things without pre paration ; besides .whioh, he , will give us no warn ing. He knows that his whole prospects, life, and fame depond on tho suooess of that ono stroke. He will Bend from Tonlon and'Algiers, at one and the same moment,-fleets and armies against Malta and Gibraltar. Ho will send a fleet with troops on hoard, to Ireland, where he will bejoinodby rebellions Papists determined to unite with any thing -which shall destroy Protestantism, as their authorized journals in Franco and Belgium have declared. He will send a float to. fight your fleet in the Channel, whilst gun-boats from Cherbourg, Brest, and Boulogne land troops tn the Thames, .in the Mersey, on tho southern - and probably 'at Glasgow. -After-ho is here ho will perhaps proolalm war. Ho will risk 800,000 men; he will land 100,000,. and destroy-here at ioast three times that nnmber of men, women, and ohlldron, besides burning an immense amount of property In bnitdihgs; and tho 10,000 foreign' patriots now in London will set it' on fire in twenty places for the. sake of plunder, and the shopkeepers wilt run away.” '- Mr. Drummond does not sound this terrible alarm without indicating what slionld bo dono to resist tho dreadful Bpnaparte. His plan is to bring back to England the ninety-tbree thousand British soldiers which Lord Clyde' now has under his command in India; to or ganize rifle clubs all over tbe British Islands; whore firearms cannot bo obtained, to use pitch-forks, scythes, bill-hooks, on poles, flails,- or anything olso;- to set fire to every village orjown through which tho invaders have 'to pass; to give' no quarter, and so on. Mr. Drummond omits mentioning how India ib to get on, without nny British troops to deal with the revolted Sepdys and Mahomedans. . Mr. Drummond has bitten , tho . Liverpool Mercury, a senile English journal, which has been conducted by old .womqn (in and out of male attire) any time and ali times during the last century; ' He recommends throe triple chains drawn across the river Mersoy at its entranco; plenty of cannon to bo planted on the landing stages and piers of the town; 50 steam gnn-ships bnilt to ply about the entran ces of the port, “ and to damage the enemy as much aB possiblo before he comes within sight four volunteer regiments to be raised; the artillery company attached to each regi ment to have “ guns drawn by locomotive en gines which will travel on ordinary roads at twelve miles an hour,” with enormous scythes to bo fastened at the axles and overy salient point, and to be driv en among tho enemy the moment they attempt 'to form, entting them np into universal smash. The Mercury does not condescend to'say how the'eriomy can be damaged before he comes within sight, and whore to find tho 50 locomotive engines to travel 12 miles an hour on ordinary roads. At present, no such vehicles are to be met with. Drummond and his echo are in a white fear. John Bnli has certainly ceased to think, as h'e once did, that one Englishman can beat three Frenchmen. . So, he will increase his army and improve his defences. B Y MIDNIGHT MAIL. Letter from' Washington* [Correspondence of The Freu.j Washington, Deo. 28,1858. ■ Sines my last notice of the Coast Survey of tho United States, several fdots of peonllar imnor* tanee have come to hand, which, in connection with this subject, it may be ns well to note., The most striking of these Is, that while other compen sations 'under t/de Government hptye been const • thatSfref-ihM-BjUsrs of, the Coass StiLrvey hnve, on the been dimin ished ; iiidicatmg a close economy in thisbtanch of the pttbltc service, where the salaries are fixed by the Treasury Department itself. Tbe salary of the superintendent has remained the same from the very early days of the work. TIIO avorage salaries of assistants daring the time of the predooereor of Professor Bache, in 1837, was $2,137 per annum, and of the sub-assis tants $l,OOO. In 1844, the first year of tho superintendonco of tho present incumbent, tbe average salary of the assistants was $2 250, and. of.the sub-assistants $l,OOO. In 1819 it was $1,786 > and $9ll, and in 1857 $1,742 and $BO6. These diminutions wore taking place while the salaries of other Govern ment employees were being ineroased. In my opinion, tbe salaries of the assistants and sub-ae&lstanU should be increased, so as to be more in accordance with other present compensations under the Government. They would, if nt the average of $2,000 for the assistants and $l,OOO for' the sub-assistants, be nearer tbe proper mark' than at the present time. The actual results of work, as shown by numbers, establish data for grading the relative compensations, when length of service and intelligent, zealous, and successful execution of work are taken into consideration. There are now thirty-six coast-survey parties in the field and afloat—on the Atlantic coast, eigh teen; on tho Gulf ooast, twelve; and on the Pa cific coast, six. These are distributed, for the winter, as fellows: In tbe vloinity of Chesapeake bay and on tbe coast of Virginia, three; coast of North Carolina, two; coast of South Carolina and Georgia, seven ; Florida peninsula reefs and keys, twelve; coast of Western Florida, three p coast of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, four; ooast of Texas, two; and coast of. California, Oregon and Washington Territories, six. . < The Mobile Register, tbe pewspaper owned by Mr. Forsyth, Amorioan minister to Mexico, andoon duoted in his name, denies, with some asperity, that he Is no longer minister to Mexico, taking the some what extraordinary ground that the Secretary of State continues to acknowledge him as Euoh, no matter what the President may say. This is oor toinly a singular state of affairs, Mr. Forsyth is not, of course, responsible for what may be said by his own newspaper during his absence; but enough is known here to induee me to believe and to as sert, that be will not very readily snrrender his position. He is a men of considerable nerve and ability, and having been reared In a somewhat belligerent school, will not be treated unfairly by any one- It is stated here that the President is extremely anxious to effect a obango in tho mission. Pioneer. Interesting from the £tatc Capital* [Correspondence of The Press.] Harrisburg, Deo. 28,1858. Tho appro&ohing session of the Legislature bids fair to be fall of intorest. On Monday next we may look for a large orowd of strangers. The message of the Governor frill be sent to tho two houses on Tuotday, and the organization will, no donbt, be readily effected. A good deal of speculation is on foot as to tho probable tone ef the. Governor's message on cer tain great questions. When the Legislature met previous to his-inauguration lh 1058, the Kansas policy of the Administration of Mr. Bnohanan had been pretty fully developed. Governor Packer took grounds against that policy, and for doing this he was roundly assailed by certain Washing ton influences. You will remember that Judge Blaok, the Attor* noy General of the United States, oame all the way from Washington here to induoo Gov.,Packer to sustain the President in his Lecompton folly ; falling in whioh, the aforesaid Judge B. returned' in high dudgeon to his master.' The Legislature had, of course, a number of aspiring gentlemen who were anxious to do anything in order to tain office, and, therefore, it gave them great plea* sure to seoond Mr* Buchanan’s outrageous deser tion.of the Democratic principle, and to embar rass and attack Gov. Packer, because he would not follow their example. ; In tho Senate, Mr. fluokalow, nearly all bis life an enoiny of the President, was the bell wether of the Federal Administration. lie it was who wrote the reports sustaining the Leooinp ton frauds—organized the Senators to follow him. and noted the part of general-whippor-ln. For this service he was rewarded by an appointment to Ecuador os reef don tmJnister. Thoso who were so eager to assist him, and who did not believe that the Democratic party would complain of their disregard of Democratic principles, have by this time been pretty well advised of the blunder they made. Several of them have been left at home, and but one has been re-eleotod, Mr. Welch, of York, and by a very much reduced majority In a large Democratic county. In a numherof strong Democratic districts, Uie Opposition Senators have been returned, and the State Senate, from a majority of eight, has been raduoodfo a majority of one; and 'that one an antMteoompton Democrat—Eon. Jeremiah £bin*‘ t)ci, of, Lehigh county. In tho House the Kansas resolutions., were smothered, thus shewing a good deal more Wisdom than wwahown In the How far tho Lef compton Se'tmtbrfl'wril be' willing to “backup” the _ Administration this ; winter, re mains to be seen. It may be "that the expe rience of the 'Ootober elections will healthfully upon their minds. I do not think that Governor Packer w ? U , book down in thb slightest. He has everything tb gain, and nothing to lose, by maintaining his position. Tho. people are with him, as surely os they are with Stephen A. Douglas. The Administration at Wash ington are against him, &b surely as they are againßt Stephen A. Douglas. And I will not, be at all surprised if Govornor Paoker should take a very long step in advance in his message,, and strongly roaasert the position whioh he took in his inaugural, in January of the present year. But nous verrons.; , 1 Among other important bills whioh will be ib troduoed at the opening of tbe Legislature, will bo one providing for the extension of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad from Sunbury to Harrisburg, bn the side of the river opposite the Northern Oentral Railroad. This link will, when oompleted, give the Sunbury and Erie a continuous indepen dent line to the State ( capital., The efieot will, ef course, be a damage to tbe Northern Central; but Inasmuch as the Sunbury and Erie is a,groat Pennsylvania Work, there,is no doubt that Gov. Paoker will cheerfully sign any bill providing for the construction of a continuous line from Sunbury to Harrisburg, especially in the event of a change of direction in thb present management of the Northern Oentral.

As will bo seen by a card in another column, Mr. Riohings, the present stsge>manager of this theatre, announces the farewell benefit of himself and his accomplished daughter. The bill is a good one, indeed, and well calculated to exhibit Miss Riohings 1 vocal powers. Miss J. M. Davenport (whose very successful engagement at this theatre terminated last week) has kindly volunteered her servioes, and will appear as Mrs. Oldfield in Mr. 1 Lippincott’s comedy of “Nature vs. Art,” as sisted by Mr. Riohings m Nathan Oldworthy, and Miss Riohings as Susan. The introduction to’ “I Paritan!,” and the' Overture to Donizetti’s “La EUle du Regiment,” as arranged by Dr. Ounnington, will be played by the orobestra un der that gentleman’s direction. Miss Rtehings 1 popular adaptation, “ The Daughter of the Regi ment,” will be the afterpiece, Mr. Riohings in his old part of Cartouche, and Mias Riohings as Marie. Notwithstanding the attractiveness' of this bill, Mr. Riohings 1 popularity os an actor and a gentleman should alone servo to fill the house.

Fatal A coident at Goldsmitii?s Hall — lt becomes our lot to record Huot-er acoident occasioned by the breakage of hoisting ropes, which resulted fa tally, and is more lamentable in lts results than that which happened last week at Magirge’a factory. About eleven o’clock yesterday morning, two men, named Micbasl Andress and Henry Gump, (who were in the employ of Messrs. Halbey k Fcrd, ivory turners, in Library streot, near Fifth,) were engaged in the sixth story of tho building In loading the platform with bags of bone-dust. The p!at r orm is surrounded by a railing which is used to keep the bags in the proper position, and the mils are eome four nr five feet above the base. They hod placed about fifteen hundred pounds on th® platform— which, by the way, is no unusual load,ai they frequent ly *end down twenty five hundred pounds at a time— and Audi ess leaned over to st*ndya hay which had been p’aoed on,the plut r orm,when the rope, which goes over ih« pulley, suddenly broke, and the platform descended with great rapidity. The Binge la generally secured In its place while being loaded, but id this Instance tho suflVrera had e'thor ne glected the usual precaution, or they had undone the check. Audreys received a severe blow, from the railing, on the back rf the neck and went head foremost into the cellar a height of probably sixty feet. Gump also fall and met with very severe bruises in his frightful fall. Aoilress was killed instant!?, having had h(i neck broken by the knock from tho railing, and wai very badly bruised. .Gump was still alive and was imme diately taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, bathe oinnot possibly sarvire. They are represented as being very industrious and sober young men, and were still Apprenticed to the above firm. Andress was 21 years of Age on Christmas day. He was unmarried. He resided at ■ Front and Laurel streets, in the upper partof the city. The coroner held an Inquest on the body of Andress, and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The fall of the machine made a very loud noise, and it deecsnded with such force as to’slmke the entire building, and t> alarm nil who wero in it. It was at first thought that a boiler near the building; had ex ploJed. There.was great excitement in the neighborhood, and It was heightened by the report that several men were at woik under the machine, and that they were buried uader the wreck. The men refomd to were ut work a short distance off, and they escaped without injury. They wore terribly reared,-however, as they thought the baUdisg was failing down APitipul Case. — One evening, in tho early part of last week, a carriage was driven to the Pcnr syl- Tanla Hospital-gate, and a gentleman, who was suffer ing from an incurable and-wasting disease, and whose days were evidently numbered, alighted ana appllel for admission. His haggard look, gentlemanly appearance, and noble bearing, enlisted ’ the 1 sympathies of tho at tending physicians at the hospital, and hla request was readily complied with. He gave the name of Francois Morin, and stated that bis native place was Itbeiras. Tho physicians did all in their power to alleviate his sufferings; but a short timo after being admitted he be came delirious, and continued In thin deplorablo condi tion nearly all the time up to hisdeath.whiohoccnrred on Sunday Light, so that it was impossible to asooitain anything connected with his former circamstan* es. In hm lucid moments ho spoke ot a child, which he said he had left in New York while he came to Philadelphia for medical advice. Ills not known who accompanied him to the hospital, but as he wai a person who bad evi dently seen better days and occupied a prominent posi tion in society, it rosy be a source of consolation to bis ftiends and kindred, it ruch there bo, to know that, al though surrounded by strangers, yet ho received every kindness and attention that it was in their power to gtvo him. Tub Late llomioide Case.—The inquest in tbo case of John McCall mot again at the Pennsylvania Hospital, yeßterday morning. The only witness present was Dr. Hutchinson, the physician who attended de ceased at the hospital.

The Coffee Trade —Meeting of tub Gro- Cbrs. —Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of the whole rale grocers was bel(lat the Board of Trade room,-for the purpolAof dbriSldOrfflg “the action of the impor ters in regard to the proposed a&oJt/iou of tare on coffee after the Ist of January. Mr. Barton moved that Mr. N B. Thompson be called to the oliair, which was agreed to. On motion of the same gentleman, Mr. John D. Tay l°r was selactedas secretsry. . • . Mr. Thompson staged the object of the moating—that the importers of coffee bad Issued a c.rcular, stiting that after the Ist of January the tare on coffee wonld be abolished. He raid it took two parties to make & ba'giin. Several Years ago tbo exporters of produce to Brazil demanded the abolition of ail charges for packa ges, which concession the jobbers allowed, on condi tion that a tare of 2 per cent, should be allowed on oof* feo. 2 per cent, on pipper, and 3 per cent on pimento. This was twenty.five years ago. and a bargain. Now the importers are about to break this bargain, and after the Ist of Janoary. to abolish this tare.' The statement by the importers that the reduction in ther price will he an equivalent Is an allegation the grocers are not green enough to swallow. Mr. E O. Knight said that twolve importers had signed a circular to this effect. Hr also thought it took two to make a bargain, and that they should maintain their rights. Of these names only six were regular re ceivers of coffee. It was Important that- there should be a tare on coffee as well as on sugar, Jfco. Ac. The packages, of course- were worth snmethiog aodwasA perquisite to which they had a right. Beside* this, it would operate unfavorably upon the trade or the retail ers, and that which affected them was prejudicial to the interests of the wholesale trade. .He gave as an iostance tho tare on a bag of Java coffee, which wou'd be about three pounds, worth forty-five cento, in return for which they would get an.empty bag worth four or five cents, thus entailing upon them this loss. He could sen no justice In this change, and was satisfied lhat it would be au injury to tho trade. He concluded by offering the following preamble and resolutions: -. ■ i Whbrbas, A number of the importers of coffee into thin market, having issued a circular agreeing to allow no tare on coffee sold by them after the Ist of January next; and - - ",' r ' - i WiiKßEis. According to "an old-established custom, arisiog from an at rangemetttmadebetwe*n the Importers and grocers’,'the tare -of fwo per cent, has, for a long series of yetrs bren allowed:, therefore, be it, Resolved, ThaV.it is the.sease'of this meeting that th* r 6 ieno just cause for, making the proposed change : and that we., the grocers .of PhiladelpMi, wiU imißt on the continuance of tho A cnstom as it 'at present ex ists.. . , \ That a committee of three-be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to communicate the for?goingresolutionsto.the importers. Mr. Roberta. Re’d moved to amend that the tare shnll h<*mfter be one per oent. . .. , j Mr. Koigbtobjected to th ; s. .He thought the old plan the best, and wai opposed to any chaoge. The Importers complain that they do, not make money by importing coff:e, yet he observed that most of them were rich—probably they made their money ou tieir outward cargoes. Mr. Thompson thought the grocers never made their money by selilog coffee.- ’ Mr. John D. Taylor said he came there to aot in such a manner as wonld result tothe best interests of Phila delphia. He thought the .old plan of allowing 2 p r cent, tare should be continued, if they desired to com pete with otherctlea for the trade of the West Mr. Andrews, of the firm of Messrs. Andrews & Thorn, objected to the proposed amendment.- Mr. Knight said In New Orleans they virtually al lowed a tare, as there they sold ooffee at one hundred and sixty pounds t> the bag. whan every dealer knew a cargo would average one hundred and sixty-three pounds. Mr. Reed thought It better to act in a spirit of com promise, as in New York and Baltimore they h&d re solved to aboVsh tb* tare.’ - - Mr. Thompson sAid the question is not yet settled in Now York, as-the grocer* there sre opposed to it. He hoped the resolutions would be afopted without amend ment. He contended that on a cargo of 0,000 bags of coffee the abf lition of this tare would he a gratuity of $2 600 to the importer. . . ; • The amendment was not agreed to. * Mr. B. J. Graham said Philadelphia could uotcarry out thisvneasure ir the tare was abolished in New York and Breton The preamble and resolutions were then agreed to, aod Mesurs. Ed. O. Knight. John D. Taylor, and Wq. H. Woodward were appointed on the commlttee. , On motion, Mr. Thompson was added to the commit ; tee. Mr. W. H. Woodward offered the following, which was ag. eed to: Resolved, That the oommittee already appointed be authorized to confer with the committees of New York and Baltimore grocers, in regard to the action taken by us. Resolved, That when this meetingadjoum It adjourn to meet at the call of the officers. The meeting then adjourned. Hearing before Alderman Freeman.— Yeet»rday afternoon, Messrs. More aud Smith had a hearing before Aldertran Freetran, on the charge of interfering with Chief Engineer Fe&ron, at the recent flro in Norris’ alley. Mr. Fearon testified that he was in the upper part of the bamiog baildlog,* and that the. Hibernia Engine was playing a side stream, that the fire was almost extinguished when another stream com menced playing; be went down into'the street, and requested the' man who had' charge of the pipe to stop it; he refused to do so. He then- Inquired for the di rector, to which the man replied “wehave nodirector.” Mr. Fearon then • returned to the .building and called out Assistant Engineer Frear, after wliich he again re quested the man to desist, as he was doing more damage to the building that good, by floodingtbe house and in juring the personal property contalnod therein. The man then replied that he was not able to lower tho stream. Tho chief, then seized hold .of the pipe-and put It down. ,- ’ • ; George Cook, a member of the Hibernia Engine Com pany, testified thathe wasaUndipg on one of the boar is of the engine, playing a side-stream np through the house, and whan the stream first commenced p aying it reminded him of a plug-stream; when it reached tbe roof it commenced splashing up against the coroices, and the water, r bouodtd with so much force that it completely drenched those who were standing on the engine. Mr. Mora stated that the stream came frrm Doctor Jnyno’H steam engine, and that it was impossi ble for one person to handle the pipe aod pnt the stream down without coming in contact with the engineer and knocking him down, as they had on 105 lbs. of steam. Assistant Freas replied th&.t he plaved all over )>im, and that thestresm did not have the effect of capsizing him. Rome person threw the hose down in the- alley and let the water ran out until the engine stopped. . Mr. Cook thought the strram was a plug-stream under tho con trol of the Southwark hose company. i Chief Engineer Fearon stated that all he wanted was to have subordination in the department, and to have his orders obeyed, and stated that if he made a mistake be was willing to Bboulder the responsibility Aider man Freeman descanted at some length on the manner in which all good citizens should behave themselves on such occasions, and concluded by.holding the pa* lio* in bail in the sum of $2OO to keep the peace and for their future good behavior. - Arrest of Pickpockets.— —About ten o’clock on Monday evening last, special officers Soblemm, Smith, and Wool, succeeded in arresting three of tbe most notorious nod well-skilled “ fancies” who have been engsged iff tho practice of this lucrative profession.
