’> Jn thq fieW nnmljbr of tho London Quarterly
fleofcw,' rirk .edition,received' through
,ftj> fi. Eiebor, there We' fewer article? 'than
hsjitrt, but; it aoems to us, .better, reading
Setter.. ,it open? .with a biographical notice
ofjErastnns, a'great man in: a ; dark age, which
jet produced menial giants.' l Next'is a chatty-,
tgopsippfng review- of Mr. PrWclsf “Annals,'
Anecdotes,'arid .Legends' of Life' As3uranco,”
■'W learn ~fH)ia this that ‘.tho flrrit life-policy
granted by theXondon Assurance Company, to'
Mr.-Thomas Baldwin, : was on tho life of Nicho
las Bourne; Aor£10(l-~ that the premium was
flv-o gnineas for a year—and that the document
is dated November 26th, 1721. At that time,
tho Assurance. Company made no 1 difference
between hoaltby and unhealthy lives, 'between
jontb and. jftatnrity, between 12 and 45; 'The'
Way, discovered by- Demplvro, of calculating
a person’s expectancy, of life, is very aimplo.
; Assuming 86 as the average extreme of human
Ilf?, half the difference -between that ago and
the ‘actual age of the person. ‘ Thus', A man
of 40 would have twenty-three years, to live,
wljilq a man of fifty might expect to. live'
eighteen years. There are remarks, ip this
review, upon the -formation .of new. Life As
surance Companies which the public, who may ; :
thjuk of insuring, should read carefully. The
Equitable Assurance Company, of London,
ndvef were In a court of law but once, on-
Whlch occasion the principal witness against
them' admitted that q will upon which the
amount of q polloy was claimed was. a for
gory. There are now. ono hundred and eigh
ty-five English and fifteen Scotch Life Assu
rance Companies. Attempts at frand are
fewer than might be anticipated. Mention is
-made, by flic; reviewer, it of the extraordinary
caie of Walter Watt, tried at tho Central Cri
minal Court in May, 1860. Ho -was a clerk in
the employment of the Globe, at two hundred
pounds a year salary. His position gave him
access to tho check-hook and pass-book, and
•It was also a part of his duty to tio up the re
turned chocks in a bundle. By boldly and
'dexfetpusly availing himself of his opportuni
ties, lie contrived to plunder the company to
an amount that sounds febulons. It is estima
ted by Mr. Evans, tho author of ‘ Facts, Fail
ures, and Frauds,? at £700,000; arid consi
dering Watt’s stylo of living—his theatrical
speculations; and his losses on tho turf during
a series of' years—wo. can readily believe
that hiß embezzlements might eventually
have imperilled tho solidity of . even the
great Globe itself.- That no suspicion fell
upon him from his becoming .-the . proprietor,
of two theatres, from his establishments fend
equipages, or from his expensive associates
amongst tho least reputable portion of the
gay world, is utterly inexplicable.”—There is
error ns well as exaggeration in this account.
The total of Watts’ embezzlements was estima
ted, at the time, to amount to £90,000, which
novor could havo imperilled tho financial
solidity of a Company whoso invested accumu
lations exceed £9,000,000. He kept only a
small cstablishriiont, a villa in St. John’s
Wood, Kcgents Park, London. Ho had only
ono oquipago—a plain Brougham, in which bo
used to drive to tho Globe office, every day
at 9, and depart in it ot4. Ho was examined by
tho Board of Directors as to his outlay being
notoriously so much greater than, liis salary,
,aqd his answer was that, in 1845, tho year of
pailway speculations, they had given- him a
-present of £lOO for extra work, with which,
after tho fashion of the time, ho gambled in
.SSiitL&n'LghffrCS, and prudently retired from
Hiie risg -f. m nun ■.. art.
showed his hanking account., ).v -vhlciitne pus
sesslon ofthis amount,at thq.tlmo ho mentioned,
was proved, and made a strong appeal against
tho. hardship of being dismissed because ho
had made money outside of his salary.
Ho was retained. Ho never was what is
called a sporting man, and therefore had no
losses on tho tnrf. His weakness was the am
bition ot being a theatrical Manager and Mie
cenas. For this purpose, ho became lessee
of two minor theatres in London, the Olympic
and the Marylebono, of which, for a long time,
—up to his “ smash,” we believe—the leading
“stars” were Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. ,E. L.
Davenport. These he paid liberally, the former
munificently, it is said, but his’general salaries
were rather under than over tho average.. He
had no idea of paying good prices for dramatic
novelties. It Is belioved that his embezzle
ments were spread over five years, which
would have made about £lB,OOO a year. His
frauds were curiously detected, A check
upon Glyn’s Bank, in discharge of a life
policy of £1,600, had boen issued to a party
authorized to receive it. This check, cashed
at Giya’s, came hack with other cancelled
checks In the banking pass-book of tho Globe
Company. It was Watts’s business to check
these off. He found that, in the huny of busi
ness at the Bank, tho paying clerk had nsod a
dry pen to cross off and obliterate tho Directors’
signatnreson this particular check. Honppro
priated this uncancelied check and paid it into
his own account at Glyn’s. When tho day’s
work at the bank was being wound up, it was
discovered that the £1,600 check had boon
twice cashed., This led to an inquiry, and
Watts was. arrested. As ho held a sliare in
tho. Globe Company, which made him a part-,
ner, he could not bo tried for robbing himself.
He was indicted, therefore, for robbing Messrs.
Glyn of the cheok itself, as “ one piece of
paper,' VSluo ono farthing.” Convicted, he
had his caso brought before n Court of Ap
peal, which affirmed tho verdict. He was
sentenced to transportation for fife, but com.
mitted suicide, in the Hospital at Newgate,
rathor than submit to his punishment. But
for great carelessness on’tho part of tho Globe
Company and their bankers, Watts’s frands
must have been discovered at thoir commence
ment.

American Ornithology.
■ Tho following is extracted from ono of a
series of interesting, original essays, in the
Mta Californian, on tho ornithology "of tho
Pacific regions of the United States:
“ There are in California sixty*six species cf
birds belonging to the order- of swimmers, (iVitfo -
tores) ; of these, there are ■ two swans, six geese,
twenty»two of the duck kind, four albatross, 'two
petrols, seven gulls, four terns, three pellloans
three > oormorants, four guillemot, one loon, and
various miscellaneous speoies. Tho trumpeter
swnn, the four albatrosses, fire of the gulls, two
petrels, ihe Ison and tho murre are found only on
tbisoossk
“The trumpeter, swan Buccinator) is
a very large bird, five feet in length from the point
of its bill to the tip of its tail: and its width from
-point to point of the, outstretched Vf ings, is over sir'
feet. Its plumage is snowy white in color; its legs
and bill black. Tbo name of ‘ trumpeter 1 is given
it because of its clarion-like soronm, which is
heard as it filos. It frequents the lakes in the north
ern and northeastern portion of the State,' and is
sometimes soon in the rivers. It is ashy bird and
is rarely killed.
“The t American swan, 1 found also on the At
lantic slope of the continent, is very similar to the
trumpeter, hut lacks its loud voice, and Is other*
'jatU* ft ohieflv. bv havintr an
tlroly, black;
“ The wild goeso arc far more Abundant In Cali
fornia than they were 'in thq Mississippi Talley
Among thorn are the Gftnadn'goose (Bernida Cana
limsis), tho snow goose (Amur Hmicrborittfj. Vke
white-footed goose, or spookled holly (Ant'r Ery
thropus), Hutcbin’s gooso' ( Bernida Hutckin
siiy, and - the'blaok Brandt ( Bernida Nigri
cans). Hutobin’s gooso is tho most abundant.” -
Tho “ American swan,” above spoken of,
is-yet to bo found in the river Potomac, which
Indian name, it is said, means tho “river, cf
swanß.” They aye, yet sometimes killed by
hunters, and brought to the Washington city
markots for sale, and are esteemed by epicures
to bo a great delicacy.
Tho newly-discovered field for ornithologists
in tho Pacific country will doubtless entice
some, in emulation of Winsosi, AcDunoy,,and
CaABbEB Bonaparte, to furnish additions to
tho soionce from tho- numerous novel speci
mens said to have been discovered in those
regions.. Except the East Indies, and China,
tho North American continent ihrnishes tho
greatOßt supply of material for tho study of the
scientific naturalist of any portion of the
globe, and tho feathered-race in Northern
America arc generally more capable of being
made to subserve the uses of man than those
of the tropics.

(Correspondence of The Press.]
Nbw York, Aug. 31,1859.
Tn a specoh delivered at a mass meeting at Fla-'
eerville, California, on the 9th of July, Sonator
Broderick mado the following personal allusion to
himself: ’
“I have lived among you for more than ten
f'ears. From the commencement and during this
ong period, when the gross vices of public men
-were winked at, or forgotten, on aooonnt of the
genera! laxity of morals that prevailed In society,
unleavened by tho presence of virtuous womon, no
man, living or dead, ever saw me at a gaming
tablo, iu a brothel, or under the infiueucoofliquor,
or over knew me to refuso to pay an honest debt. 1 '
Those who know Senator Brodoriok in this city,
fifteen years ago, when ha was a ward politician, a
fireman, and -the keeper of a drinking saloon,
soaroely thought ho would at this tirao b.o one of
tho representatives of California in the Senate of
tho United States.' Although his early associa
tions wore among tbe roughs of tho roughest part
of tbe city, ho was always noted for the reotltndo
of hia conduct, and for the resolute manner in
which ho breasted the temptations by whioh he was
surrounded. He was never seen drunk, cover
gambled a dollar, and never visited lionses of ill
fame. ' Ho has educated himself and engineered
himself thus far through life in a manner worthy
the study of thoso whose lot. it is to start from the
lowest round of the social ladder. His old friends
•in Now York regard with profound interest the
great struggle in whioh he is now engaged in Cali
fornia, resembling, as It does, -to some extent, tho
last grand battle in Blinois, where tho“ Giant”
encountered and overcame the most formidable
opposition ever arrayed against any public man in-
America. As Douglas stood thon, so,Broderick
stands now—botween tho fire of strong men in his
own party aud the ssrriod ranks of the Opposi
tion. . '
Now York was nover so plethoric with strangers
as at tho present momont, And tho hotels aro posi
tively coining money. Beds and shake-downs aro
made up in the publics parlors and tea-rooms, and
sofas and lounges aro reckoned luxuries for a
night’s repose. The halls and corridors of:the
Metropolitan. St. Nicholas, Astor House, La Fargo,
and even tho now Fifth-avenue Hotol, only opened
last week, are so thronged with, people, that it is
difficult to elbow your way in or out. ‘
The last weekly report of tho oity inspector shows
a mortality of 710—of which number 328, or nearly
one half of the whole, died from disoaees of the di
gestive organs. Throat and lung diseases carried
off 124, thoflo of the brain and nervous system 110.
Tho number of still-born deaths—forty-two—is pro
bably larger than that in'any other city of equal po
pulation. Tho numborof deaths in Brooklyn during
the same week was 161. I have no figures from
Jersey City or Hoboken, which, like Brooklyn,
may bo regardod os suburbs of New York; but es
timating the weekly mortality thoro to have beon
in tho same' ratio, tho grand total of tboso who
during tho weok wore “ gathered to their fathors,”
would bo noarly one thousand.
Everybody is talking of tho brilliant atmosphe
ric phenomenon witnessed on Sunday evening.' At
nine o’clock it surposs3ed anything 1 ever beheld.

ment was denied in tender-terms by the blushing
witness against the pugilistic prisoner, who said
that the husband referred to was mutual property. \
The jury, thinking that something is pardonable on
-ocount of ‘Hove’s eowe&s,” cbnvtoied the jealOua
Caroline of assault and battery only. (Wo noticed
at the time of the rendition of this verdict, that
“Mae,” a quondam reportorial friend,was

• The next case called up woe'one'in which
Richard Nagle, S£. t 'and Richard Kagley-Jr., were
oharged with havinar-committed an assault and
battery on a Mr. Sullivan. It was just of that
kind that ought never to engage the attention of a
court or jury. ‘ Itwas a' German, and Irish
a war of raceft—wherein the tongue,' on both aides,
was more freely need than tho flsf. It was lager
on one side,'and whiskey on the other, and. the re- ■
salt, sober litigation.. District Attorney Mann and
George R. Smith, for the Common
wealth, and Joshua T. Owen and N. B. Boyd,
Ksqrs., for the defence. After some deliberation,
the jury rendered n verdict of guilty as to both,
defendants. - -
Catharine Warner was charged with assault and
battery on Su3an Kramer. The . difficulty origi
nated about the children of tbo parties.' Tuo
cause was trivial. N. B. Boyd, Esq., appeared as
oounsel for .Catharine, who was convicted, despite
her well-established reputation for peaceable be
havior.
;• The bail of Vincent Mooney, charged with'vio*
lentiy assaulting Cyrus Home with a slang-shot,'•' - ■
bn the night of the.lasfc general election, wits de-,
dared to,be forfeited, defendant failing to ap
pear to taTce’b'ls trial. - His bail was Mr- Hugh
Mooney, and it woe ordered to be sued out at’ onoe. 1
Alexander Olay plead guilty to a charge of aa
sanlt aud battery on l Jacob 'Krewson. fined one
dollar, and the costs of proaecotioa,
riot. The prosecutor wai
r as a Mr. Clark, who owns
some property on the-XirayVFeny road. It ap
pears that he was annoyed by ft crowd of young
pilferert, who robbed.his fruit-trees.,-Ho .stated
tbjat wbon tho boys wero taking some pears ho deli
berately shot at them with a garf, wounding ono of
them severely. The defined alleged that the pro
secution originated in mslioidns motives, and that
Mr. Clark had a difficulty with' the family of Pitts,.
who were proven to be quite respeotable. Pitts, by
several witnesses, was shown to be an industrious
and quiet. lad. His xnothor testified (hat he
was between twelve and" thirteen years of age. The
jury .retired to deliberate, and returned with a
veraiot of guilty, with a recommendation to tho
mercy of the court.
Hugh McGuigan was.char god with forcible en
try. Jfc is alleged that the defendant violently en- ■
iored the residence of Mrs. Ann Hodge, with a view
ofinfiioting violence on her son,* whom ho called,
in tones of reproach, an Orangeman. Mrs. Hodge
testified that she hod inflicted summary punish
ment on tbo defendant, whose forehead bore ample
evidence of a sanguinaryioonflict between the par
ties. Prom the evidence, it was quite apparent
that the exit Was as forciblo'as the entry. Mr. “
Collins, one of the counsel for the defence,, asked
one of tho witnesses whether ho did not, on the sth
July, drink a health to King 1171111010. “ No, sir, 1 '
was the response. ** when I take- a drink to King
William, it is on the :12th of July.? 1 (Laughter.}
The ovidenco revealed the fact -that the whole
: difficulty ' originated in t the different- religious
1 persuasions of the parties. An allusion to the
“ battle of the Boyne*’ produced .oOnaldernbla .
mirth. The case was submitted, after argument,-.
' tho District Attorney stating that he thought tho
charge had not boon made out. This was the ge
-1 neral impression on all sides; but the jury, after
i somo reasoning peculiar to themselves, acquitted
the defendant, hut put the oo3ts on him why a
man should pay costa, when the charge is declared
to be unfounded, and especially after ho Is proven
to be a victim of violence,' is a question that we
leave others to answer; District Attorney Mann
for the Commonwealth; Geo. C. Collins and J; P.
O'Neill for the defence.
. Josoph Hirshberger was chargod with hating
OomxnUtcd an assault and battery on Elias Louder
back. The affair grew out of a fight in a lager*
beor saloon in tho vicinity of Eleventh and Master
btracts." The prosecutor swore positively to the at
tack upon him,' and the defence juat ng positively
denied it. J. ‘Alexander Simpson, Esq., for the
Commonwealth, and Walter J. Budd, Esq., for the
defenoe. Vordiot guilty. This termination of tha
-ease was evidently cot looked for by thedefend&nt,,
who is a man of very respectable appearance, and!

the Connty Prison. '
Caroline Smith was sentonoed to an imprison

The sentence of young Pitta was suspended for
the present, Judge Ludlow stating that a motion
for a new trial bad been made by the counsel for
the asoused.
Richard Nagle, Sr., and Richard Nagle, Jr.,
were each sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars,
and tho costs of prosecution.
Catharine Warner was fined ond dollar and costs.
William Harris, who was arrested as a. fugitive
from justice in New York by the detectives ot that
oity, was brought into court yesterday morning.
It may be remembered that this 'prisoner waa
under four bills of indictment for burglary' in tin a
city, having, in connection with 'others,.robbed
sevoral wholesale stores! He withdrew hi 3 plea of
not guilty, and entered-a pica of guiltr. _ Judge
Ludlow inquired who was the bail for Harris, and
by what means it hnd been obtained. No satis
factory reply was received to tho latter interroga
tory, when the Judge expressed his determination,
to sift the matter thoroughly, • so that those who
had'lent themselves to an effort to defeat the ends
of justice might be made publicly. known and
severely punished. Harris was- then sentenced to
two years confinement at labor In the County
Prison. . He is about eighteen years of age and of
genteel and intelligent address. -We could not but
regret to seo one so young and gifted 'sentenced to
tbe felon’s cell, and when we know that, under
proper influences his life might, have been one dis
tinguished in tho honorable paths* of usefulness.
Tho Judge had a painful duty to perform, and
often has, when oriminals such as this aro required
to meetthe penalties of violated law.
