It is. one of the most alily wrltten'publie documents that we have ever had the pleasure of perusing—'vigorous in its tone, blear in,its statements, and eml hently wiae; in' ita > recommendations.. Five great ioplcsaro 1 discussed in, It with - masterly ability,: Viz The .State finances, .thefschoof system, the hanking system, the tariff, and the doctrine, of Popular Sovereignty ; and there is not a sentiment expressed that should not and will hot find awarm'response in'the hearts ofihe great body, of-onr citizens. 1 jt' iew ;Snsncial. era, is’, dawning upon ns.

The warning of the-Governor against any appropriations to divert these r eyehues froih their appropri ate channel is well timed. Now, that a door of relief from .the financial burden that has so, long oppressed na is‘opened, it would bp the height of folly, to fail to avail ourselves of the golden opportunity.presented. , .One. of-the results of the divorce of the 'State ~from the management of her public works—the certain prospect of the speedy construction of the Sunbory and Brie railroad— opens np to the people of Philadelphia, and to those who reside along, the ronte of that im provement, prospective advantages whloh sll appreciate'; and the statement, that within two .tears cars wili be running directly from this city to the harbor of Erie, Is extremely gratl-' fylng.’. • -I-, , , . Our common-school system has evidently .received from the. Governor the 'attention'its importance demands. The amount of money expended-npon it is very greht, and the Influ ence exerted upon the welfhre' of the Com monwealth by the public schools cannot be over-estimated. The ' great drawback upon their efficiency, howover, is precisely that pouted out by the Governor —the Incapacity ol too many of the teachers who have charge of them. The. remedy he proposes for this evil is well worthy of the careful consideration of the Legislature. Anything calculated to. perfect so important' a branch oi the’Govern ment deserves the. closest attention. f ” The recommendations of tho message in ro gard’to the banklng system of the State will 'ekcjte.grea't interest; .’ All new charters under' ;the .existing law will .be .vetoed j but the Go .vernor'recbmmends. tee’adoptlbn of a how system, Tyhiqh affords greater security to the note-holder,"and, 1 at the samb titke, confers a qubatantlal beneflt upon the financial interesis of the State.

Oh tee question of tho tariff, the Governor strongly,;endorses the .recommendations oi the President, and boldly piroolaims the senti-. inents generally entertainedl by the people of Pennsylvania.

The now.number of Punch, received yes terday, is protty smart upon- poor Lord Joum Russell. Four years ago, his Lordship brought before the I House of Commons a spick-and-span new. Reform Bill, which was complete in every respect—except ihat it failed to give satisfaction to any person or party whatever, not even, wo venfaro to say, to Lord John himself. Still, It was a propo sition for Reform, and Lord John was not the, man-to neglect making capital out,of the fact that he had propounded. It. Tho Crimean war, the Ohineso war, the.lndian revolt, and otkof such accidents, afforded plausible excuses'for Lord John's shirking .this Reform; question, year after. year, ever. since.. Last year' hid friend Palmerston, then in office as Prime Minister,'.thought that ho, alsd, would mako aj Reform-bid for ' So," he , promised a ;Reform Bill,'hut. never . wont’ beyond tho promue,, and quitted office,, as he,', confessed, 1 without having ever taken any step to fdlfli hispicidge. '.Then.Lord Dkbbv promised Ro-j form, i So that there will be ho laok of Reform' ni’easures during the ensuing'sessioh. - ' 1 i • But the tax-ridden poople.of England have a national distrust of all measures purporting to increase their political strength, which aristocratic hands may dole out to them. Therefore, they have entrusted John Bbioht with the task of framing a truly efficient bill for securing the Sovereignty of tho People in their own Honse of Commons; The aristo cracy arc highly Indignant at Bbiohi’s auda city, in presuming to legislate for the demo-, cracy of-the'country.' without their consent, •Lord John Russell, .particularly annoyed at his tham being shelved, (and, it may be, the four pocket-boroughs' ,of his, brother, the Duke’of Rutland, knocked on the head,) has attacked Mt. Bbioht, in no measured terms—; first, ‘because Mr. Bbioht does not admire hereditary legislators; next, because ho does not see how the 1 interests of religion are to ho served by Bishops making party speeches and giving party votes in the House of Lords; thirdly, because Mr. Bbiobt thinks, and says, that the aristocraoy have no right to interfere directly or indlreotly, in the eleetlon of mem, .bers of Parliament,; ~and, lastly, because Mr; Bbioht admires the Democratic institutions oi the United States, and actually isnot ashamed of saying so,, before listening thousands oi' his countrymen. Aggravated on these gronnds, by Mr. Bbioht, Lord John KusszLL.has been so bold as to attack him—an exploit as fool hardy as a two-days old puppy attacking a full-grown and vicious bull dog. Mr. Bbioht has roplied, and’ poor Lord John Russell may be said scarcely io exist, after the terrible beating he has got. " Punch has taken up the subject, and gives an engraving showing how “Mr; Bbioht offers. to give Satisfaction to the Liberal party.” It represents Friend John and Lord Joriii having a pugilistic, set-to In a private room. Both have '.taken off their coots.' Bbioht . (rather bulkier than. Aabon Jones tyoqjii permit him to' he,-«'in training”) ad vances in a jaunty manner, with the gloves on his hands, and an eye-glass knowingly adjusted over his eye. Lord John) shockingly attenu ated, leans'against a bureau, wipes a bloody nose with one big gloved hand, while at his feet, two or three other combatants, knocked down by brawny Bright, aro vainly endeavor ing to pick themselves up. ' There have been much better political carlc&tnres in Punch—, and there have been much worse. People who write biographies should bo ac curate as to dates. For example,-there Is a memoir of Mr. John Bbiobt Ih the llluitrated Lonion Ncwt of the 18th nit., just received; After* stating that Mr.' Bbioht was born in 1811, hls fathor being a member of the So ciety of Friends, tho biographer adds, «It is said—how truly we know not—that so opposed was his father to any Indulgence on the part of his son in the pleasures of secular literature, that he has taken from him .volumes, the pro ductions of modern authors (the works oi Diokenb have been especially naimed,) and committed them to the fire, in the vain hope teat he wonid. tens pnt an end to aspirations and- cravings which to him were little better than irreverent, it not sinful,” Non , Diok! ens’ first work, “Sketches by Boz,” was pub lished; in 1886. Consequently, Mr, .Bbioht, born.iu 18lij was twenty-five years old at the time-—rather - an advanced, age for any father to interfere .with, the private reading of his son, a marriageable man, and, attest time, a principal in. the manufacturing firm of John Bjhoht U BBeinEßs, of Roohdale and Man chester. ' Interruptions to Travel. . It is the grand mistake of tee retrogressive spirit that would impede .travel between great commanities, that snoh delay will help those Who expect tho custom of tee travelling com; mnnity. Houco ft Is teat We do not approve the late action of Councils in opposition to the proposed connection, over'onr city rail road, between the Baltimore and New. York railroads. There may be somo infraction of ordinance in the making of the proposed connection, and, If so, tho offending party should he promptly pnnishod. Bat to act npon the general idea that no Bach connection should be allowed, on the ground test it is necessary to iho trade of Philadelphia that passengors should be detained in onr city, wonid bo to act npon the mest illiberal and contracted notions. The very rapidity and comfort of tho connection would be an argu ment In. favor of Philadelphia. In tee first place, it wonid those who desired to spend' any time between trains moro'leisnro for that purpose, and, in the next, it would show that we are not animated by mere provincial prejudices, if wo act upon such prejudices, we shall not only drive travel through our city, but away from it. There Is, we think, no principle so well established by experience as teat any company, or corporation, munici pality, or otherwise, attempting to hamper travel by restrictions, injures itself alone. -We will not give offence 'by citing' cases to prove what is so self-evident. The German town Telegraph of Wednesday has an article' on this subject, a part of Which roads as fol lows: ' *: “It will be remembered that for a long series of years, tbe Legislature of oar State, and espe cially tbe members from rite eastern portion of it, bitterly opposed every measure Introduced for tbe construction of a oana! or railroad, In which Phi ladelphia was sot Immediately interested; or rather, whloh tended to accommodate oortaln re gions of the State through other avenues than by way of Philadelphia. The < tapping,’ as it was oaUed, by other lines, IsadiDg, it may be, Into other States, was regarded by tha savans of onr oity; as'not only dostruotive of our entire pros perity, hut next, to an aet of uireot criminality. We'regarded this opposition at the time as foolish- In the. extreme—as wholly without one substan tial; realising faot to stand npon; and moreover as entirely, unavailing. • Opposition, howover powerful it may be in the beginning, whioh is [sanded npon merely selfish considerations, oan never prevail against the" reasonable demands of the- people of one seotlon for equal advantages from inorsased facilities of trade through artificial ohannels of communication, whloh have been ac corded to the people of other sections. This was speedily found oat to bo tho oato; and railroads now.run from the heart of Pennsylvania to Balti more and New York; yea, even from onrown oily through the northern parts of onrState, and, con necting with the Meio York roads, dtreotly on to Niagara, making the distance some forty or fifty miles shorter by our way than even by way of the otty of Hew York, and enabling travellers to eo-' oompllth the dlstanos in a. single day! ' “ People now see the fojly of thoiroriginnl oppo sition to neighborly interoonrse with other States, as well as the rSasonahieneSa of the demand of the people in isolated portions of tho Commonwealth for their share of Improvement eooommodatlons. But, notwithstanding all this, the old leaven still exists; - The aotion of our Oity Oounolls, in rela tion to. the matter of tho oonnootlon of the Fifth 'street passenger railway with the Trenton and Baltimore railroads, for the conveyance of the passengers of these roads through the oity with but one ohange of oars, wo Io;k upon as one of the most petty movements to be found upon our muni cipal records. , - “ Tbe solemn fribbles which ocoupy offioial posts in our muntoipal Legislatare, declare that if a oonneotion be allowed between the'Hew York and Baltimore railroads, with the Fifth and Sixth street passenger railway, for tha odnveyanoe of passengers from one road to the other without de tention, the city will lose the custom which' the detention would otherwise afford! The argu ment by whloh the Pennsylvania Railroad is dragged in is a more begging of tho question, as all oan soon be placed upon an equality as to a similarity of facilities.” ■" ■ Braux’s Ethiopian Deaka.—Fo.r what la oallod tee Blaok'.

Some seven weeks ago, Sanohes, who is a good-looking young Spaniard, married Mary Jane Oarnon, a sprightly oolored firl, and latterly the newly-married .oouple oarded with Mr. and Mra.Carnon, at the above number. v Sanohes, who s is ref>resentedaa bein£,?an ex-, oessively. vioious -fellow, t .wlthou.fc ! jealous of his wife, and" a day or two'since, threatened to .take her'llfe.About the same’ time B&nohes took from a closet a Bword oane be- 1 longing to,his father-in-law and said he,was going to nave It The’fanlily 1 .at'first, thought strange of this circumstance, fls.thebati'e appeared tobe in perfect order, , but tke'matter r was soon forgotten, or at least nothing more was said abont it. Sanohes continued .to find fault with his wife and made himself Very disagreeable. * He wasout late on Wodnesday night and the family sat up waiting for his return till 21 o’clock-A:",M/ ,As Sanches oame in he brought the sword oane with him, and immediately' afterwalds'rf&rted into the bedroom withhis wifp tdretire. ‘ W-. * ; Mrs. CarnoD havibg occasion to go inU the bed room whore Sanohes .and her. daughter were, knocked at the door, but Sanohes refused to admit her, and forbid hW wife from doing so. As a last resort Mrs.'Oarnbn pushed in the door, whioh she. had nd sooner done than 1 Sanches drew the blade £ rom *55 fi word-oane, and rushed furiously upon t The steal penetratedthe £eshy part-of the left arm, inflicting a.dangerous but not fatal wound. Mrs. Sanohes oame'to aid* her. mother, wn «i the desperado turned upon'and stabbed her in the back or right shoulder, causing a Tory* dan gerous wpund. • Oarnon then interfered to protect ms wife ana daughter,"when Sanohes againr&ieed ttie steel and plunged it { with great-force Into the baok of bis father-in-law.

Sergeant Mount iinme-’ diately repaired to tbe spot with a number of offi cers, and did ’all in their* power for the 'suffeters, 1 and also made search’ for the murderer, 1 but he was nowhere to be found.
