THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY. 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.

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. A Sojourner.

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.

The Telegraphic Chans Match--New

The telegraphic chess mutch between Philadelphia
and New York was resumed, last evening, at the office of
the American Telegraph Company, in Third street. The
nJovea were made with more lapidlty Lbao at the tiro,
previous sittings of the comnrt'ea, and the combina

w«s generally thought at the beginning of tho pi it, la«t
evening, that Philadelphia h’d no advantage, but by a
aeries or ingeniona moves with the queen, made by Phi
ladelphia, the nttack was turned upon Now York in
fbllforce.
The game was concluded at ten o'clock, New York
having resigned at the thirty-ninth move, a oheqkinate
being inevitable in a few moves. Ablo judges decide
that this was oue of the moat brilliant gimbit games
ever played. The conclusion was remarkably flue, and
wlllrepHj itudy.
The usual accuracy attended the transmission of the
moves, and Mr. Manager Bullock and his assistants,
Messrs. Merrick &■ Keep, have won golden opinions by

bility In landing at PuuU Arenas for the arrest of Wil
liam Walker and bia lawless followers.”

Commodore Pan ding’s conduct win received by the
Government of tbal Republics, and by nil the people of
Nicftfsgua, .-with much/attraction, l> bocause. it op
pressed a signal rebdho of'an aggression, so bold and
unjust, on the rights and territory of Nicaragua”

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.

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

Assistant Freas replied th&.t he plaved all over )>im, and
that thestresm did not have the effect of capsizing him.

- 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. Thfijr Rave been on-the qui **««.- for
these adepts for some - time * past,' -and finally
detected them in'tbe very aot. The names under
which they travel are Bank Tbackra alias Charles
Joaes, Jpeph Keys*r afias.Ohtfles Wileou alias Joseph
Jones, and wally Mowbray altas William Walley. On
(he above named' evening, Officers Fchlemu and Wood
were on board the Tenth-street can, aod noticed the
men when they* entered the can at Tenth and
Coates streets. They rode down ai far as Tenth
ae<t r Baca streets, wben a laiy left the cars,
and an she reached tbe plat'ern was rudely pushed by
the trio. Ibe officers h*iml something drop on tho
street and accordingly arretted Tbackra aud Keyei-r,
on ruspicion, and aUirwerde'procured a I‘ghl and found
tho pocket-book, containing $1 87. Mowbray succeeded
in making bis escape frr the time, but wav afterwards
arretted by Special Officer r'raith, at a drinking home
in tho lower part of tbe city. Tbe whole pirtr were
taken to the Central statlon-h'nee, and yesterday
morniog they bal a hearing before Alderman Frecmtn,
who committed them to answer. A true bill has al
ready been found egalnit them, aud we presume they
: will have au opportunity of rusticating for aconsidrra
i ble length of lime at tbe expense of the city. Tbe
lady who was relieved of her funds proceeded on her
way without discovering her loss.
New Counterfeit.—On Monday evening
last a well-droßsed woman called at the store of Mr.
John B Green-No. 728 Spriug Garden street, and, af
ter purchasing a black silk dress pattern, offered in
payment a $2O bill on the “ State Bank of Troy.” Mr.
Green immediately suspected the note of not being ge
nuine, and inquired the residence of the lady. She in
formed him tnat she resided In the vicinity of Thir
teenth and Spring Garden streets He requestol her
to wait until his return, and proceeded to the spot,
when he found that no p?r«on answering the description
had a residence in that vicinity. He returned to the
st'we, and found the lady had taken her departure
without the money or (roods. The'note is a splendid
couDto feifc, and is well calculated to deceive. The
vignette has a lady and sea shell in the centre, Benja
min Franklin on the left lower corner, and a coat bf
arms of the State of New York on the right.
Coroner’s Case.—Coroner Fenner hold an
inquest yesterday afternoon on the body of Marv Mul
len, who resided in Oliver street, near Eleventh and
Cu’ponter streets. It bad been rumored that deceased
had come to her death from violence. A great excite
ment whs created in' the neighborhood, and It was
alleged that her husband had 'requently beat her. and
finally atministered po'flon. The husband state-1 that
his wife had been strongly aidioted to irdulging m the
ardent, nod tint he had lately purchased some powders
which hud been recommeuded to him ui having the
effect of destroying the taste for spirituous liquors,
aud as his wife wae addicted to a love of strong drink,
he thought they might have the desired effect on her,
but it was ascertained that they were not of a poisonous
nature. The jury rendered a verd'ot of death from
canßas unknown.
Kodbert and Important Arrest.—A gen
tleman frjm Kentucky, who arrived in this city on
Friday last, was walklrg through our streets that
evening and admiring the due sight* peculiar to the
festive season whon be came in eontict with a frail
bnt lovely female, who enticed him into a dark alley,
where he wan relieved of a valuable gold watch. Upon
discovering his loss, he immediately cuter d complaint,
and Ofliceis fiommers and Livy commence!- a search,
which resulted in arre ting the guilty parlies yesterday
moraiog. The names of the rßenders arc Jamsg Gra
ham, Toby Graham, Ann Tucker. They were taken
before Alderman Oglo who, In default of batlveommit
ted them to answer. The watch was undoubtedly
iecov«ied at a pawnbroker’s shop, and the chain of
another, they both having been pledged by the afore
said James Graham. '
ABsault on an Officer.—Yesterday mor
ning .an officer of the special police force called at a
houie of low repute in his official capacity, at No 833
Laurens street, above llrowa, and as soon ai the pro-
prietor recoguised him he made use of some abusive
language, and threw a bottle of porter At him. which
struck him on tho head. The officer, however, rallied
from the blow, and succeeded in taking the offender be
fore Alderman Freeman, who held him to bail to the
amount of SI,OOQ to answer the charge of assaulting an
officer.

' ‘ The money market is unchanged Cu’crabted piper
can be sold in ppy amount at & to 6 per cent,, hut there
is no fixed rate, and little or no sale for any to
which a doubt attaches, or the makers of which are
not well known.
At a recant sale of the property or a gentleman whom
the storms of fot tune had reduced to. insolvency, a
well-known citizen 'became the purchaser of bis fine
dwelling-house, and fitted it op.fora residence. A day
or two since, he was favored with a call from a person
who appeared very anxious to get hold of the righh
man. His cross-examination of the gentleman, fer the
purpose of ascertaining whether he was really the
man who bad bought the house, was worthy of a Phila
delphia lawyer. When this fact was ones well settled
in his mind, he proceeded to the object or hie rail,
which was to* collect from the purchaser cf the pro
perty some of the ovfrJue notes of the former owner.
The pertinacity with which be adhered to his point
was of the same obaracter with the particular ty of
his taveit'gstion of the ownership; and when he wav
finally indneed to depart, he went off highly indignant
at the vHliiny of the mau who bongbt another man’s
place and would not pay that other man’s notes,
i We hare,received from the office of Peterson’s Coun
terfeit Deteotory, the following description of a new
coanterfe't s2* bill, purporting to be Issued by the
of Troy, N. Y , which has just made Its
appearance They are exceedingly well engraved and
calculated to deceive lbe best judges. The priucipal
viiDette is a female floating on a shell; comptroller’s
seal and signature on the right end; head of Franklin
on the left lower corner. It Is better to refuse all
notes answering the above description.
The reduction.of ,the rate of discount by the Bank
of England, from 3 to 2# per cent, was quite unex
pected, and produced an improvement In the market
and ao advance in consols. There was more demand on
the street for money, and an Applications
at the hank was looked for. The increase of specie in
the vaults df the Bank of Vrauoe has also stimulated
stock operations in Paris,~wber», as in all the cities of
the Continent, money Is abundant at low rates.
Considerable attention la given by the Eastern papers
to the fact that the r ecent destruction of the Naumkeag
Mills and loss, of life by fire wav pensioned by the
fraudulent packing cf stones in the bale of cottonwhich
was set on fire' by the xnichm-ry, The considerations
! of safety to property and human life ara added to those
i of honesty and far denting, and a combined arrange
| ment is loudly called for by which the fraudulent plant
ers who thus pack cotton shall have their villainous
work retained to their hands, and suffer the full expo
sure of their crime. - '
The bridge oyer the Upper Mississippi, at Bt. Paul,
Minnesota, is fait approaching completion. . Thehuge
stone piers, eight In number, are nearly all completed
i for toe Immense superstructure of trnasle work which
Is to repose npen them. About a hundred men ere
regularly employed upon the bridge. But, notwith
standing every effort of the engineer. It is donbtful if id
will be Gained before May. It will cost, when com
pleted, $150,000.
The United States Economist has collected some
interesting statistics on the manufacture of boots and
shoes in this couotry.' The quantity requited for the
consumption of the .U.nitrd States is not far from 75,-
000,000 pairs per annum. Of these, 12,Q"0 000 pairs
are made in.. Massachusetts, at a value of $40,000,000
per annum; and they employ 45,000 men and 82,626 wo
men. One half of the employment is in. Lynn, which is
the largest shop in the United States. The next is in
Philadelphia,* which makes $4,000 OGO mostly fine work,
while that of Lynn is coarse work, ’ The production is
great In eTery city, town. and hamlet of the Union, and
the whole value is not lets than $-0 000,000 per annum.
In Philadelphia’there are 457 manufactuiers, whose
aggregate Bates’ amount to $4,141,000, and Philadel
phia sells perhaps $10,000,000 worth of a Eastern work
in addition. l lt ' ■ ' '♦ J j
The Economist mentions; ai a remarkable circum
stance in this connection,'that notwithstanding the im
mense extent of-the shoe and boot manufacture, and
the army of persons engaged in it, neither boot nor
shoe makers-figure in the list census, though shoe
finders and shoe-peg makers do.
