Weekly stands far ahead of its competitors j as it does farther, in this— that its conductors do not dispose, of its pages for purposes of puffing, but, on the contrary, riim.purcly to interest and Instruct thoir mul titudinous readers. 1 The convenient else and clear print of Its pages Is a great recotrimeridafian. We suggest that its readers should, carefully preserve the successive numbers, which, at the year’s end, wjll give Alin a volume of S2B semi-folio pages, with title-page and- index, the history of the year, illustrated. by hundreds of engravings, and a large amount of literary matter; in short] eaeh volume is a little library in itself, almost exbaustlcss in information and onter iainment. • ■ The Trotting Match at Suffolk, Park. There are few exhibitions so attractive to the generality of mankind as a well-contested trial ■of speed between two or moro fleot horses, and civilized countries horse-racing,- .in some shape or other/is a favorite popular amusement. While, in con sequence, of- the Infamous surroundings which -are. unfortunately intimately associated with the race-course, the English system of racing has been .prohibited by, law in 1 many'of the American, States,. 1 a,- number, of trotting courseware kept np; and they aro always at tended hy'ati immense coticonrso of. spec tators when horses of known fame are placed upoh them." Besides, however much the fact may bo dtsguised, the great attraction at tho numerous agricultural fairs which are frsqnent ly.heldln’every Northern Statd.and In almost Overy, important county, is , unquestionably “trials' of speed” ' between fist trotting hbrses ; and upon spectacles of this kind thou sands pf our, best citizens, of fair:Jadles and innocent children, and of the great mass of 'our-•people, gazo with Intense delight wherever .a, convenient opportunity is af forded them. While the old-fashioned English system of’racing has been effectually tabooed, the capacity "of onr. horses for fast trotting, a gait better adapted to tlio customs and habits of our country, .has;been developed to an unprecedented extent. Although celebrated American races arc now rarely or never heard of. in the Northern States, the feme of fast trotting steeds resounds, throughout the land, and their admirers grow ludicrously enthusi astic in praise oftheirfavorites. Thodevolop ment of the speed of racers almost necessa rily requires great expense, as tho horses must bb, foil-blooded to hope, for eminence, and must bo nursed in luxurious ease. Fast trot ters; oh the other hand, have been discovered among almost every breed of hories possessed ia.this .country, and the superiority of those which have become most celebrated has been gradually acquired, and first noticed while thoy werp being’useftilly employed as ordinary car riage: horses.“ It' is said that the first time a horso ever trotted in public in America for a Stake was in 1818, when a match was made for , $l,OOO that no horse could be produced which omfif trot a mile in throe minutes . A horse named Boston Blue won tho stake, con trary to general expectation, by trotting tho mite in a ftw seconds less than tho prescribed ti/tie.;', 1 'Gradually the speed of trot ters has been increased since that period from three minutes uutll the public ceases to be astonished when Flora Temple trots a mile In two minutes and twenty-three seconds, as sho did on tho Suffolk Park on Thursday. ' This fhvorite mare was foaled In 1845 in Oneida comity-;-New Torks end Is, therefore,' now fourteen years of age. In 1850 she was sold fqr $176, and shortly afterwards purchased for about douhle tliat'sum bya resident of New York city, who first became conscious of her superior speed by trials 'on the ordinary roads against well-known fbst horses. Sincothen she has won a very largo number of purses. •In 1856-she trotted a mile in the then'unprece-* dented time of -2 minutes 24$ seconds In a iaatcji against Taconyj but she has slnco, re peatedly, excelled her speed on that occasion. -While we' understand that many of the spectators of ;ihe 'Tate trot on Suffolk Park grotty jtdmired the beauty of the &e., general dissatisfaction was expressed with tho manner in which the trot was conducted, the conviction being almost universal that 3rd rd snltof this match was arranged and understood In advance, and that therefore no lair trial of the speed of the 1 two horses took place., The grounds were also surrounded with thegam blera,' sharpers,i thimble-riggers, etc.; whose' neftrions practices have rendered tho-race cqurshodious,, .If, in future, Suffolk Park, br sbmo new trotting course open to tiip "jiiilr,- lic; and readily accessible to qur citizen's,-cau be freed from such associations, and rendered attractive, oken to ladies, as the exhibitions at fairs are, Jt would prove a proflt ahlo 'iuvestmeni-to its owners,, and attract an immense ,'crowd of spectators Whenever cele -btatedhevses appe&tedupim it. /i?ft'i;®riChtipinj{of NSW Yorkvpreaohed attha K«v, X.

Reforms in Austria, Somo time ago, wp stateq thnj;,the Austrian Ministry and other ilgh offlelalS ytare doing-at thatl thgy cojlld tp.tpfn'tho Etpjioior’s promise ;pc .eitensivpiy liberal administrative reforms a merjffiullityi. ifKese people Vellevo that 'Keform would only unsettlQ the public mind— ihat,the.promiso of-it was in a.manner forced -from the •'Emperor TsAMtjis-jdShPH, by the crisis which followed his defeat in Italy—and that if dolay can be gained; now;, it will not bo difficult to postpone any and all changes sine die. ■ , A change of Ministry at Vienna, which lias, jnst been announced, would indicate that the Emperor of Austria is not satisfied with his principal State advisers. IL AnEXANDBK Bacii, Minister ; of the!lnterior, has boon suddenly dismissed, and ‘given to iff* Goi.u ouowsKi, who is not a liberal in politics. Ba ron Baou, now m'liis forty-seventli yoar, camo into political notice in 1848, as doputy from the order or class of advocates, he then being a practicing lawyer of considerable roputo. He was a representative to the Central Com mittee of tho Provincial Statos of the Aus trian monarchy, and was appointed a member of tho first Libptal,Ministry appointed by tho Emperor Perdu add. Ho held’tho office of Minister of Justice, and was also, by. .popular election, amemjbor of t)ic Constituent Assem bly. Ho was much respected for tho zeal and ability with which ho- applied lilmsolf to reorganize tho judiciary system of Austria. He was unpopular, however, by his resistance toliboral concessions to Hungary, which ho considered as an integral part of tho Austrian Empire, without any distinctive nationality. The insurrection of October 6th, 1848, com pelled him to resign office, .which he subse quently resnmed under tho Ministry of Princo Schwaexzeudebo Stadios, whom ho succeed ed as Ministor of tho Interior, in May, 1849. Baron Baoh is what 1 is called “ erbteheity,” with liberal tendencies. 'M.db Hobner, Aus trian Minister at Paris, to whom Napoleon gave the memorable, scolding on last New- Year’s day, bcebmes Minister of Police at Vi enna. The English journals describe hi in fis « notoriously a creaturo of the Jesuits,” but his public career (almost wholly diplomatic) has not shown him as a man of arbitrary will or contracted views. The reforms which tho Emperor FraNois- JoSEph desired' to carry out relate to tho national fltiances—to the development of civil, and religious liberty—to tho better govern ment of the cities and to n system of national representation which will really mako all parts of the Austrian Empire have a voice In foaming the laws and in: distributing the public money. As an absoluto monarch, Francis-JosEph would merit well of his peo ple by carrying even one of these reforms.; ,no appears earnest in his intention of granting them all. . Tho Government journal at Vionna, whon stating whfit reforms the Emperor proposes, hints against the obstacles which have been raised against them, and significantly adds, « Too groat caution in advancing is as much to be avoided Ss too much haste.” Tills, ,if it mean anything beyond a generalization, is a decided hint to tho officials not to waste any more time. The Emporor apparently is a well-meaning man, who, when he promised ro forms, really intended,to keep his word. Ho is a man of decision, too, and tho partial Ministerial change which ho has made may bo followed by a complote alteration of his whole system of official government. Things are at a pretty pass, indeed, whon a Sovereign, wishing to do justice to his pooplo, is pre vented by his officers of stato. Better Horn “ Occassional.” (Correspondsnoo of Tlia Praia.] Washington, September 11, 1859. The triumphal tour of Judge Douglas through tho West, is uow the universal topic In'poHtioel circle! here. The extraordinary evidenco of Ids popularity afforded by tho oordisl and onthnsUstio manner In Which ho waa greeted, at the various prominent railway stations in your State and Ohio!—at Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Columbus and Cincinnli,—olearly point but to the Domooraoy their true policy in tho seieotlon of a Presidential can didate In 1860. While these significant popular demonstrations are exceedingly gratifying to the numerous admirers of the (i Littlo Giant” Id onr oity, they are as distasteful as gall and wormwood to the Illustrious donlsen of tho White Bouse, Polltioal jealousy is a marked trait of his charm* tor, and against Judgo Douglas It has assumed the most virulent type imaginable, for as the approval of the proscribed rebel necessarily eateries with It tho oobdoranstion of his enemies, every token of public regard which he reoelvea ie considered by J. B. us an assault upon himself; and he is there fore being politically tortured as severely as the imaginary victims of wltohoraft In, olden times, who felt InmuaeraUtJ p/ns and needles rankling in their sides. One of the happiest hits of ths great ohamplon of popular acverelgnty, in his late ipsaohcs, is his ekilful roprodCPdeP theextraet from Mr. Bn ohanan’s totter of aoeep‘*Uoe, In 1856, whl»h says that “ the peoplo of a Territory, lit) thou of a Stale, shall decide for themselvss wheiu' r riarjjry Bhall or shall not oxist within their limits.” T^' 1 sentence is destined to eternal remembrance. It will be reoolleoted and ohorlahed by the American peoplo when all other expressions of Mr. Buchanan will have passod away Into oblivion. It presents tho essence of the dootrlno of popular sovereignty in the most concise, emphatic, and unmtstake able language in whloli St has ever yet been expressed. It eweepH away ail tho misera ble sophistries by whloh the Intervention ists seek to bolstor up their mischievous and impraotloable theories. Mr.lßuohanan is, therefore, destined to achieve a singular ronown, and to oo onpy a peculiar position in the future hlstoiyof tho oountry. ’While the name of Patriek Henry is in timately associated with tho expression, “ Give mo liborty or give me deathwhile Jefferson’s namo is closely connected with tits maxim, “ F.lornal vigi laucejls the price of libertywhile with Jackson’s fame isooupled his expression, “Tho Federal Union, it must bo presorred while Webster’s greatness is linked with hfs - famous remark, “Liberty and Union, now and forever, ono and inseparable,’’ Bnchnnan, when remembered in futuro ages, will be quoted as the author of the expression that “ The people of a Territory, LIKE TiIOSE OF A STATE, shall decide for them driver whotber slavery shall or shall not exist within thelrllmits.” But though the lives and public characters of all the eminent men I have Just named have harmon ised with the expressions otosely associated with their memories, except tho latter, Buchanan will bo recollected tor hie treachery to the doctrine he had so clearly enunciated , Charlee lof England “ nevor said a foolish thing, and norcr did a wiso one,” and the present occupant of the White Honso may felicitate himself at onoo upon his ability to avow bn tho roxod question of tho day, a correct dootrlno, and his eagerness to betray it; and to punish to tho extent of his power Its faith ful adhorentsupon his ospaolty to know what was right and to do what was wrong; upon the wisdom of bis; precepts and tho wioked folly of his per formances. The Constitution of last evening contained a six-bolnmn nrtlolo in answer to tho artiola written by Sonator Douglas for Harper's Magazine, on Popular Sovereignty. This is tho famous produc tion upCn which alt tho genius of our rulers and .their satellites has been oxpendod during several weeks past. . I bavo not yot had time to road it carefully, hut incline to think that the popular verdict will be that* the Administration mountain has only brought forth a moose. It is astonishing to notloo how rapidly the vast political machinery of tho nation Is being pat into motion by all parties, preparatory to tho canvass of 1860. An infinite number of preliminary move ments aro being made to adranee the fortunes of Presidential aspirants, and their “namo is legion.” I shall- watoh the development of these movomonts os closely ns possible, and from time to time inform yoqr readers of their progross. It is daily becoming more hnd moro doubtful which of tho two great political divisions of tho oountry, the Demooraoy or the Opposition, is most distraoted. Tho Administration Is the most potent element of mischief and disoord In the former, but as its lease of powhr grows “ small by degrees and beautifully loss,” and the disposition of tho De mooraoy to dlsoard it altogether, and to unite upon the oheriihcd and time-honored prlnoiples of tho party, increases, the Domocratio ranks aro being closed up and straightened, while the divisions of the Opposition are becoming dally more and mote apparent.

Chief Ruggles received a telegraphic dcapatch from Harrisburg requesting him to arrest t> notorious, character ir this pity who keeps a gmnhhng house, and whom we will call Mr. Z., as we do not wish <o put inoro on his shouldom than he already carries. Tho charge preferred asainst Z. was that of murder, ami on it he wai arrested and taken liofofo the Cluof. Tie scouted thoideawithall the imlignntion of injured innoeonco, mid demandod tho fullest investigation into tho charge. Furthermore, he professed his willingness to go to Har risburg, and did so in the uhdnight train in company withaßofficor. Thisjs all prosy onongli. so far an it goes ; as there is nothing romantic or poetia aliout Mr. Ruggles. a war rant, tlm arrest of a man. And his being tagnn to Harris intrs. But hero comes the ronmneo, of which wo will give a skeloton, preserving the anonymous capitals in troduced in the last paragraph: It seems that within a short time a mulatto wo man, named Catharine Otivnn. was arrested in Carlisle, ’a., op some trifling ohargo, and committed to prison. Whilq ip phfon, she became tick, and she appeared to be labonng'under some montftl distress. Sho was Ire queutly urged to tell her secret, if sho had one, nnd within a few days she said that she lind witnessed a murder, nt Harrisburg, some timo ago, which hAd caused her uneasiness ever since. This naturally alarm ed her keepers, who had her forthwith taken before udge Pearson, and two or three of tlm dignitaries of {arrisburg. She was closoly questioned, nnd told the following Btory » “ In tlm spring of 1857 she lived a* a servant girl in tho family of,Mrs. 8..wh0 resided in Susquehanna townshjp, a short distance from Harrisburg. Mr. Z. was a son-in wof Mrs. 8., having married her daughter. One night Mr. Z. and another gambler took a stranger to tho house of Mrs. 8., and Mr. Z. and tho stranger commenced playing oards in a room in which tho witness nnd Jane, he sister-in-law of Mr. Z., were present. There was about one hundred dollars upon the table, nnd a quarrel arose between the two players. The stranger accused Z. Of cheating. Z. replied that the stranger was a liar, and the tatter drew a knife; but tho Üblo was too wide to allow him to i)se it with effect. Cathraino says tint Z. thon drrnv a pistol, and, firing it across tho table, shot the strange' through tho head. Ifo died instantly, and Jane fainted. Catharine says that Z. nnd his friend hen dug a hole in the yard, and, wrapping the body np in a sheet, they buried it, The next morning Mrs. Z, Bowed .grass seed ovor tho grave, nnd Z. nnd his friend washed up tho blood in the house. The possession or this .terrjble secret made Catharine very unhappy, an,! shp received-presents from Z- to keep quiet, whilo she was threatened with death ifshn hotruyed him. ftho aars she remained at the housn throe weeks after the affair, and she then went to Carlisle,whero she finally divulged the matter in tho manner already doscrilwd." Catharine was taken to the house where the alleged tragedy t6ok ptnoe. and she was desired to point out the spot whero the body of tho murdered man was buried. She pointed out tho site occupied by a bake-ovon, adis tnneefrom the house, which sho said had been built there after she left. In tho morning the place wad dug up tq tho depth of three feet, hut the diggers, finding nothin*! gave uo the soarch. Jane, the sinter-in-law of Z.. wj}| be examined, nn she has boon sent for by the authorities. Mrs. B. denies tho story totally, and the citizens of Harrisburg place no roltance in it. Catha rine, however, tolls a straight story, the closest exami nation being unable affect the consistency of her statements. - Of course all this produced a great deal of excitement, both In Harrisburg and Philadelphia. It is a pity l speak ing yepnrtorially; that there is no truth In it.forwlist an okqisite sensation it would have boon to those who with nonciland paper are so eagerly waiting, hkn Queon Elizabeth in the play, to welcome “blpoq end massn ore.*' It wouhl have lasted two weeks nt least—a column a day in tho smallest tyne. There was only wanting one thing to make it uerfoct. to wit, a bundle oflotters and a bloody handkerchief. To be sure, a gold ring or so on the body of tho mftn found under the bake-oven, with an inscription on it«wonld have added to the ro mance. but it was not sd Absolutely necossary. •'We can only regret its untimely and whimsical conclusion, nnd file it away among our scraps of singutar hallucinations. Finn on Satfbday,—Tboro was an alarm of fire on Saturday evening, occasioned by the burning of a barn owned by William Farrell, on South Third street. The flames produced a great light and were distinctly seen all over the city. Tho barn was a very largo ntruc tura.the lower story being of stone, nnd the superstruc ture of wood. It contained about twenty, tons of hay nnd a quantity of grain and lumlier. nil of which was destroy ed, There were a large nuraberofehickens in the barn, but fortunately they escaped and dispersed themselves over Southwark. As they were not seen afterwards, wo supposed a good many of tho people down tlmtwny fared sumptuously on fresh eggs, and phlcken soups. It was impossible to discover tho origin of the fire, os the Jlsmft* had scarcolr broken out Ufore the building was was beyond any hope of preservation.- A numlx*ro stonmnnd other engines woro on the ground, and did good service. , . While tho firo was in progress a man, named George Ferguson, wm seriously wounded in the side with a pistol shot. Hisaa»aaUy Ind to a great deal of excite ment among tho firemen. There were a dozen rumors alioutliia being a tnctnl»er of the Khiffler, or tho Moya mensiug, or the Franklin, and others equallv extrava gant, some of which entno nvor the wires, and cot into one or two of tho Sunday pipors. Tim facts of the case are, that George was sitting on a rail of a fence \tith some other spectators, that the rail save way. and pre cipitated them to tho ground, and that a pistol in the rocket of Ferguson exploded and inflicted tho wound. He was not a member of any fire company, but lived in the southwestern part of tho city. He was a carpenter by trade, and was removed to his home suffering se verely, Fauixount Park* —Tho ordinance appropriating the bind on the w*est sido of the Sehujlklll, oetireon Fairmount and Belmont Cottage, for a park, and which [son Its Way through pnniuli, is meeting with wonder ful (Wvoreinon* our citigons.

Mayor Henry issued orders totba police to atop the cars* sotting forth that the running of cars upon the. Sabbath was a breach of the peace. On the following Bunnay (tp*.

The same week tho matter wus taken tnto the Bn promo Cour and argued before Judge James Thompson on a writ m .tabea*corpus, asking his discharge. Judge 1 hot hdkou decided that the mero running ofa car upon u Swptfc wa» a breach ofthe peace, and the defendant Joandelle was renianded to answer. This decision put the casq of Jeandollo baek to where it was l>ofore the writ of habeas corpus wag issued, find on Saturday it pumo up before Judro Ludlow, in the Court or Quarter Sessions. Cases of breach of the peace are always de mded by a Judge ofthe Court of Quarter SeSsioniwith out the formality of a jury. It seems necesisary For the prosecution to prove to the satisfaction of Judge Ludlow that Jenndelle was committing a real, abso lute hroaoh of the poaoc, or their case falls to the ground. In the examination the same counsel appearod that t«>ok partm the heyms before Judge Thompson, to wit* Messrs. W. A. Porter, Ldw. Olmstaad. and w. 8. Price for the prosecution 5 and Messrs. W. L. Hirst and David Webster for thp oefonco. Mr. W. fl. Prico opened the case upon the part of the prosecution. He mud: Inpreaonting this fcnse on the part of the Common- prnposo to stAte vert succinctly the law that will he invoked, and the facts to be proved. This case is one that has already engrossed a largo measure of publm interest nud attention—not more, however, than the grave import ofi»s practical scope and hearings would naturally arouse In a Christian Com munity, If we have estimated this case aright, it is the entering wedee for an extensive obliteration of Pondsy in Philadelphia, and in thst aspect it is one of the moat important that has ever been presented to this court for adjudication, we are not here to invoke any new law [or t he case in hand, but to ask and to contend that what has heretofore been held to He the law of Pennsylvania in cases of like character, shall lie declared to be the law of this one also. It has been enunciated by the Bo prenm CouTt, in more cases than one. that Christianity —With the I/ord’s day. dedicated to rest and worship, as one of its loading and distinctive institutions—is, and always has been, a part of theqommon law of Pennsyl vania. In the spirit of that Christian common law. and declaratory of it. the statute of 17M has prohibited the performance of apt wordly employment or business whatsoever on the Lord’s day. and made inch perform ance an unlawful act. That common lawnnd that sta tute, have ordamyd and legalized tho lord’s day as a Christian institution—as a day ol rest and worship—and undertaken to Protect theconmmmtv in the enloyment qt it ns Bitch. That common law and statute have or dained a higher order of nenco for tho Lord’* day than that winch, pertains to the secular days of the week, lha.r have legalized sna are meant to enforce a more ported pcp.co-a peace in harmony with the objects anc purposes of Sunday ip a Christian institution—a peaee and good order that is essential to the devotions, both public and private, of a Christian people, and witnon which tho groat purposes ofthe Christian Sunday wouh be defeated. That peaee and good order, thus guaran tied to every citizen, have been broken in the case be fore the court. If the, herd's day. or Suodar, were to be viewed mere ly as a/dvil institution, as adayof legalized rest, as a evil regulation for the government of man as ainember of society, as was done by the learned judge Whodehver cd the opinion in the caso of the Commonwealth vs. Hpeeht, still that more peace add reposq jteceesary to the enjovmontofthe day* alone of legalised rest, would he the right of every citizen. And those repeated de cisions in cases that will bo Piled; to the effect that acta which. If done on a secular day. do not amount to breaches of the peaeo. will 1 lie Such breaches If done or performed on Sunday, would be as potent as ever in onr favor Whether for worship and repose, or for repose only, the law of Pennsylvania has clothed the first day of the wreVwith a Mnetity again** secular-labor and busi ness. And itnasbeenannounoedaethe solemn judgment of this court, in the application ofthaiflaw—in'the Com monwealth vs. Tiemann—that although worldly busi ness may lie carried on on Sunday without disturbing* neighbor, orin any wav attracting public notice,and thus although the law is violated, and its penalty may be en forced, no breach of tho peace can fx> charged on the ,offender;, yet.if the business transacted be of suoh a character as to disturb the quiet of the neighborhood, or ol an individual neighbor, or be carried on >n the vi cinity of a place of worship, so as to distorotbose as sembled tor religions purposes, it would be a misdemea nor and a breach of tho public peace. It is this exposition of the law, made by tbn Supreme Court iii the case of a ship builder, again applied hr this conrt to the case or a newsbov, and again to this identi cal case by a learned Judge ofthe Supreme Court, that is now asked to be once more applied to the’case inhand, and to the corporation that puts this defendant forward to test the power and oertaintr of that law. Tho more than ordinary Importance of this caso arises from the tact..that it is, pot only the single act of this defendant that is involved in it, but over his shoulder* is si u*ht to be established, by the decision of this court, a license to all .the passenger railwny companies in the citv to run their care on Sunday, and thus obliterate, to a great ex tent, that observance of the daywh'ch the lawhssor dained, whteh has been so signally preserved in Phila delphia, and has been pointed to with so much pride, Clio enterprise of running cars on Sunday is admitted to lie an unlawful one. Iho corporation putting this de fend i*ht forward to test the law. is willing to par tho pe cuniary penalty for a violation or the law. They are willing and desirous to set the provisions of the act of J7P4 at defiance, ifthe result shall be a profitable balance in their favor,; and before this case is dosed, they will bo found invoking the countenance and aid of this court to enable them to do so. But wo contend, and shall proceed to show, by appro priate evidence, that their Sunday business involves more than ft mere violation or the act of J79t; that it disturbs the quiet of noirhhnrhoods and thoroughfares; that it dißturtm congregation* assembled for religious worsni p l and that it fans within that description of Sun day occupations whmh have alrendv been judicially de termined to amount to a breach of the peace. Tim defendant, who is the'drive* of one of the cars of tho (itcon ana Coate*-»treets Passenger Railway Com pany. is charged with a breach of the pence on Sunday, tho 17th of July last. To sustain that charge It will be shown to the court that tha defendant, on the day in question, and at the time of arrest, was engaged in Ins ordinary worldly employ inont and business—thst ofdn vmg the oar of ths company, containing passengers who were being earned for hire, upon the public highway, then an unlawful act, because prohibited by the act of Assembly of the 53d of April, J7W. And it willbe fur ther shown that the einploiment ami business In which the defendant was thus unlawfully onvased at the time of his arrest was not only in itself a disturbance of that peace and rood order guarantied bv law to «I! citizens nn the Lord s day., and which thnso who attend upon worship are conscientious and jnalon* to preserve, but that it waa attended also with actual disorder, justifying the arrest. , * The cars of the railway company were nmon the pre vious Sunday, July 10th. on the streets already desig nated, through a well-built and densely-populated part of the city, and upon the line of which are several churches, attended by thousands of persons. The ex* perienee of that dav caused a number of citizens who bad thus (wen disturbed at home, and at their churches, to cal! the attention or the Mayor to the subject, and to request his interference to prevent a repetition of it. The Mayor, consulting the decisions ofthe Supreme Court, aqd of this court in Tiemann’a case, regarded the running ofthe cars on Sunday as a breach of the peace, and notified tha president of the Green and Coates-streeta Railway Company accordingly. It wa* determined on the part ofthe company that one ear should ue nin on Sunday, the 17th of July, which, in no -AoedenM with,the notice of the Mayor, would be fol lowed by an arrest oftbedrirer. and that the question of the breach of the peace would be thus raised and deter mined. 7 , i A car was started, filled with paasenvers, from whom [are was taken by the conductor, and driven by the de fendant. It will appear that a large number of parsons had congregated in the neighbor! ood, some of whom followed the car until the arrest was made. Therowrill 1* evidence, also, cf disorder lo the can The driver was arrested and bound oyer to answer at tins court for a breach ofthe peace. A Ao&eo*/erpiM, taken hv the de fendant, was heard by Judge Thompson, of the Supreme Court, and resulted In jhe remanding of the defendant to an*werhere. The opinion of that learned Mid re in tho dee will be haijded to your Honor. Wo shall present tho cabs hers as it was presented lie fore the judre of the Supreme Lourt; and in order that the nature end extent of the disturbance caused on Sunday by the business m which the defendant was enraged, at the time of his arrest maybe the better understood, wo will offer the testimony .of those who experienced Itat their homes and at their places of worship, and who are. therefore, competent to convey to jour Honor a reliable descrip tion of it. Beyeral persons living on the line of the read made application to the Mayor of ths city of Philadelphia to stop the running of the cars of the Green and Coates atreets Passenrer Railway, Company, they behoving it was a breach of the peace for them so to ilo; that it had been so decided by the case of tho Common* ealih vs. 1 teinann, ami the ease of the Commonwealth «•*, Kvre. Accordingly nofiroswere sojjt to the ntficqis pf the Cnm- H'Miy, notifying them to atop running thair cars on Bmt flay. Tha offence was repeated nnd the defendant ar rested.

It wonld be anfast to the defendant to hear testimony shout an offence which it is not elleted that he ever committed.
