Peasleo, of Phllar Uelphla, with so von lives. The only person B&yod >-WM‘ George Slattery, who furnishes the following * statement In the Boston Conner: » "“The schodner'C. S. Peasleo left Jacksonville, • Florida, on the 27th of October, with a cargo of luthbeiybouad for Philadelphia. 1 /There were on board Captain Baker, his wife, a mate, a cobk, and four sailors." The captainand first mate belonged to New Jersey. Oh the second day out there was a heavy sea, but no wind until about 8 o’clook in the evening, when it commenced to blow. The gale increasing, and -it being thought that the vessel was becoming water-logged, the captain ordered tho deok load to be thrown over, but owing to, the groat weight of the spars, the order oould not be obeyed. Tho crew were told to get their tea, and then when the moon rose, to make another effort to get the deok-load off. About 9 o’clock the men were set to work at the pumps, when it was found that * the schooner was water-logged. About this time she «- shipped a sea forward, which shifted the cargo and 'turned the schooner on her beam ends. An * effort was immediately made to render assistance vto the captain’s wife and the m&to, who were in the cabin, but on going to the cabin it was found ' to be filled with water, and the occupants, of course, ' were drowned. Tho masts were now ordered to be eat away, and while preparing to exeoute this or ' der a sea came and Bwept every man off the vessel. - Slattery managed to get hold of the mainmast; • Hhe rest were all drowned. After Slattery had ' clung ter the mainmast about four hours, it broke away from the schooner. ■ This occurred at four .o’clockin the morning. The schooner immedi ately righted, and although the sea was still as • rough as it had been, Slattery succeeded in swim ming fa the schooner and getting on board. He • remained in tho fore-rigging about twenty-four hours, and then went aft, where he sajrshe remain ' cd four days longer, during all of whioh time ho ■ had nothing to 1 eat, the sea having swept everything" away; and during three days oi 1 which time the storm continued with but lit - tie abatement. Ho says that during a part of • this time his reason 'abandoned him; still daring ■ the greater portion of the time he felt almost aa strong os ever. On the fifth day after tho wreck, tho 2d instant, he was pickod up by the bark Sa muel Uhepherd, Captain Hathaway, from Havana - for Boston, and brought to this port. Tbe orew of ' the bark state that blattery did not appear to bo in 'a very exhausted condition when taken from the 2 wreck. Slattery Btates that after he was taken off ■ he became weak and felt an exhaustion which he did not experience while on the wreck. He docs 1 < ’ not recollect the names of the crew, but says one came from Ireland and another frim Scotland.” ’ Apropos of tho Harper’s Ferry outbreak, the Winchester Virginian.a&ya : “It is worthy of re mark, that, though the Abolitionists had been a whole year plotting the insurrection at Harper’s ' Ferry, they .were unable to enlist a single foreign bom citizen in their ranks; not one was found to share their treason against their race and nation. ‘ An Irishman (the keoper of the 5 bridge) was the first to offer them resistance—an ' Irishman (Bourhey) was the ‘second. man they \ killed, "wliilo he had hiq rifle drawn to shoot one— ' - and tho last man they killed was a young and gal ' lant Irishman (the marine.)” ; ' 'A telegraphic despatch from Culpeper Court house, datodTuesday.afternoon, says: “Anumbor ‘ ofpedlers and sospioious characters have been ar rested hero of late, and it is the intention of our citizens to put all strangers, who oannot give a satisfactory account of themselves, in confinement. ' Public feeling seems to, have been highly wrought . upon.” ' Sir. Hydo, the Bt.

' A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing from Canton, Sept. 11, expresses the fear that but Jtltlo benefit will be derived from tho new treaty ■ with'China before Franco and England secure the ratification of their treaties. Qe says: “ It is well known, although the treaty has nut yet boon published here, that its stipulations are comparatively few, all nopo of prospective advan , tage.being based on the clause securing the privi lege accorded to the most favored nations.' Rutin ’ reckoning on securing tho fruits of the allied em bassadors’ treaties, Mr. Heed did not take Into account the possibility of these treaties tailing tfor a time at least) of their effect; and, if my in formation be correct, there is every reason to be lieve that this olaueo has the effect of rendering the treaty nugatory until the British and French shall have compelled the ratification of theirs. "Thestatemontl receive is, that the Chinese have refused to grant the extended privileges to American merchants, until suoh time as ‘ the fa vored nations’ shall actually he in, enjoyment of tho rights now claimed; and, as a consequence, , the new ports remain closed as before. £ will hot vouch for the truth of this statement, which is nevertheless believed -in many quarters hero. If truo. the intelligence is equally distasteful to other foreign, as well ac to American merchants; since in virtue of the old treaty,.the. British merchants, _ would be entitled to any advantages that might be / granted'to the Americans. Should the news bo correct, it will doubtless be officially communica ted by this mall." * Ex-Governor Brown, of Mississippi, in a speech made before the Legislature of that State, upon tboir special .invitation, said that he advised the . Domooratio party in Mississippi to send their best men to Charleston, who would insist upon a clear ' recognition, of all our rights. He* would not be .satisfied with the Cincinnati platform—it ‘has two .faces; ho wanted a platform granting Congrejs ■ eional protection to slavery in the Territories—he would be satisfied with nothing less; and if it was refused, break up the Charleston Convention and , tho National Democratic party ef the land., A correspondent of tho St. Louts Republican writes as follows: “The Kansas elections of last Tuesday have re sulted In favor of tho Republicans. In fact, Kan sas is all over Republican, and will never be other - ’wise; and if she is kepi out of the Union.untU she ; ceases to bo Republican, she will bo kept out al : ’Ways; The general feeling now is, that she had better be admitted at'once., Ho outsido interests " can soffor by her admission as a State, while her ' own internal- interests will thereby be advanced.

Ac. *. consignment of Italian Dr. Abbott’s Egyptian Collection. Nearly seven years ago, the late Dr. Henry Abbott, of GfaruLCairo, brought tho whole of hia Egyptian Museum to, Ibis country, and placed* it for exhibiUoti.jn the Sttiyvosant .In stitute, New Yotfc Dri Abbott, an English physician in largo;practiceht Cairo, had em ployed twenty-five years of his life in making this Collection, and had paid away, during that time, upwards of ono hundred* and fifty thou sand dollars for Egyptiau antiquities, which, because he paid liberally, were ahvays offered to.hint ,in preference even to the Pacha of Egypt.- This collection, which we may describe at ; &l'uturo time, has treasures which are not possessed by tho Pacha’q own museum, by the Louvre in Paris, or in the British Museum at London. For instance, it contains throe mum mied, bulls, (objects of worship in ancient Egypt,) tho only ones ever discovered. When the Pacha was-informed that Dr. Abbott in tended to dispose of his collection, ho offered a sum for it so inadequate that Dr. Abbott declined it. The Pacha then issued a State order prohibiting the taking out of Egypt any antiquities found in it. Dr, Abbott, however, contrived to evade this, and had the whole collection carefhlly packed up in great wooden cases, and taken across the desert to Suez, where it was placed on board a steamer, and canied to England, wlioaco it was further de ported to Now York., 1 * Dr. Abbott had bceu offered large sums, by tile British Government, for numerous articles in this Collection which were considered of sufficient value to be placed in tho British Mu seum. Ho had resolved to sell it as a whole, and declined these and other offers (from France and Prussia,) to take certain articles of his Collection at almost any price ho would name. He preferred taking his Egyptian An tiquities to New York, where ho had near re lations, (his sister is wife of Mr. James Brown, the wealthy banker there,) and, wo believe, cherished the hope, if ho succeeded in selling his Collection to the public, of permanently residing in America’, hoping that ho would himself bo appointed Curator of the remarka bly interesting, rare, and valuable relics of old Egypt he had amassed, with so much pains and at such great cost. The Egyptiau Museum excited no small curiosity and interest in New York, and not only men of letters, but divines from all parts of the country, warmly and publicly expressed their admiration of it, and its great advantage in illustrating the early historical portions of the Bible. A plan was set on foot for the purchase of the Collection forth© city of New York, and it was proposed that a largo sum ($40,000, we believe) should be contributed from tho municipal funds towards the pur chase. Private liberality, it was expected, would supply tho remainder of tho purchase money. Had Dr. Abbott been able to have remained in New York for a few months longer, no doubt the whole amount required—greatly less than the original cost, without the expenso of removal, insurance, rent, and attendance —would have boon raised in 1864. In the summer of that year, urgent private and family affairs recalled Dr. Abbott to Egypt, whence he never returned. Ho occasionally sent ad ditions to his great Collection—for ho could not resist tho temptation of augmenting it—but was stricken with disease In tho prime of litc, and died last March, in Egypt. t Meantime, notwithstanding his absence, tho exhibition of Dr. Abbott’s rave and extensive Collection of Egyptian Antiquities was con tinued in New York, by th# curators,* Mr. Abbott, Junr., and Mr. John pro prietor of Velasquez’s last portrait of Charles tho First, painted during his visit to Madrid, when Prince of "Wales, with tho Duke of Buckingham, who had tho art of being as much a favorite with James the First, as with his son and successor. Tho dcsiro of New York to possess this Collection has continued. At first Dr. Abbott’s absence retarded the civic purchase. Next, tho Presidential elec tion of 1860 absorbed men’s minds. Lastly, tho commercial revulsion of 1857 annihilated } for a season, all prospects of raising sufficient monoy. There has come a better time, and with it tho renewed anxiety to prevent this remarkable Collection from leaving tho coun try. Tho New York Courier $ Enquirer thus states what is about to ho done with it: “The Commiltoo of tho How York Historical Society, on tho sableot of purchasing the Abbott Collection of Egyptian Antiquitioa, held a meeting on Thursday evoning last, and resolved to bring the matter before the wealthy men of Hew York immediately.. The impbrt&aoo of this collection os a great mfistratlon of sacred and profane his tory, is abundantly k&pwn.- It has reooived the highest commendations from learued men of all countries. ’ It has furnished illustrations to the most celebrated works on Egyptology, and scho lars and students in America havo availed them selves of it to. a great extent already, and with ample satisfaction. The collection belongs to the estate of Dr; Abbott, who died last spring. It must be sold, and whether that sale is made here or in England, it will be forever lost to the public, unless at once secured by the Historical Society. Let it be done speedily, and form the nucleus of a great museum." In the event of New York not immediately and liberally responding to this call, wo would suggest that Philadelphia shall purchase Dr. Abbott’s Egyptian museum. A place could be found for such a collection, wc trust, in the Academy of Natural Sciences, ii it were not thought desirable to locate them separately. In New York, the collection is desiderated to « form the nucleus of a great museum.” In Philadelphia, we already have the finest museum on the whole continent, and the ad dition of these Egyptian antiquities would make it, in some respects,* not inferior to more than'one department in the British Museum or tho Louvre. , The amount required, wc believe, would cer tainly not exceed $40,000 —which really is not ono fourth the sum expended by Dr. Abbott in making this collection—every article in which, however small, ia duly catalogued and described. The funds requisite could be raised in this city, by individual subscription, in ten days, and we iairly give notico to Now York either to conclude or surrender its seven years’ haggling about this purchase. If New York still procrastiuate, Philadelphia must go in and buy the Egyptian Museum. We ought to buy it, and present it to tho Academy of Natural Scieuces. lt is duo to ourselves and to our cor respondents to state that, having given ample Bpace to the controversy in reference to the political and theological writings of Tuomas Paine—both sidei? having been heard at length—wo aro compelled to decline any fur ther communications on tho subject.

Natali was the maiden name of tho Misses Heron’s mother, and was assumed by them, for professional use, for the sake of euphony, and not as a “device” for any “market.” Philadelphia Firemen* The following complimentary notice of a visit, during iho past summer, of one of our Philadelphia Fire Companies to the home and grave of Wash ington, we dip from the October number of tho Mou)tt Vernon Record . We are glad to observe that, while a spirit of vandalism has frequently been shown by visiters to those hallowed grounds, the brave firemen of our city, by their dignified and gentlemanly demeanor, should have elicited suoh a well-deserved compliment: “The Tittlo respect for private property, and want of reverence for tho dead, shown by compa nies and largo parties visiting Mount Vernon, has frequently been the subject of comment in past years. We are, therefore, extremely gratified at the opportunity of noticing those who have given a better example to tho thoughtless. “In August last, an Association of Printers (whosename we rogrot wo could not asoertain posi tively, though it is thought to have been tho*Mt.

Letter from 44 Occasional*” [Cofrcspondenoo of The Press.] 4 , Washington, Nov. 18,1859. It will not bo tho fanlt of violent men In both sections of the Union if tho seed sown at Harper’s Ferry does not produce a fearful erop. As I havo stated before, in this correspondence, tho Southern people have had the greatest provocation in the late tragedy; but those who are inflaming their minds, and demanding rash and unnecessary legis lation, are, in my opinion, governed by wrong mo tives. I put out of sight the alternative now de liberately contemplated in some of the Southern papers, that this state of feeling must end in blood shed. All such romedies can only ho Suggested by wild and ungovernable passions; but we should not close our eyes to the danger of geographical parties, now more imminent than it has ever been. This was tho alternative apprehendod in 1856, growing oit of the Kansas troubles; but it now assumes a more startling Aspect in view of late events. Consolidate tho South on its extreme platform, and you consolidate the North on a Northern platform. In that event viotory goes with tho majority, and we aro daily told that Se cession will then be insistod upon by the minority. • And what of secession? Ho is no truo patriot who proposes to dismiss secession as injurious alono to the South. It would be a fearful calamity to all our happy country. To the South it could not fail to como surrounded with inoaloulable evils. Its frontiers would bristle with bayonets, and run rod with blood. Internally it would bo convulsed with inconceivable alarms. In many cbbqs, overawed by its servile population, it would be compelled to live, as it wero, in & continual state of war. Every one of its cities would be a garrison, and nearly all its male citizens soldiers. No compensation would oomo to it through n commerco with nations com mitted against its peculiar institution. And what of tho North ? Would our condition bo any better ? Would itnot bo woreo ? I bavono pjLienco with Northern men who look upon Seces sion with complacency. I havo no p&tienco with those who tell me that Pennsylvania contains with in herself all tho elements of an independent ex istence, and that in the ovont of a separation of these States, the dividing lino being that run be-* tween the slave and the froo confederacies, tho North and West oould go on in their career rejoic ing. Would there be no sympathy for our impe rilled Southern brethren ? Would we be any more at peace than they ? Would not fanaticism tear at our vitals ? Would not demagogues rail and ravo in our midst, and would not faction breed and fes ter in our bosoms, paralyzing our Industry, divid ing our churches, separating families, and making us a mockery before the world ? And all for what ? This is the great question. Simply to gratify a fow men in either section, who, on tho ono hand, do m&nd impracticable legislation for the protection of slavery, aud, on the other, delight in consecra ting a few madmen into political saints, because they have attempted to carry fire and sword into u Christian community. In looking over the list of those who are to ap pear in the noxt Congress of the United States, I see few who, judging by their recent rocord, aro willing to meet this crisis in tho true spirit of self sacrificing patriotism. lam not one who belloves that tho breed of noble bloods has gone. Ido not think the dofenoo of our Republio rests upon any man, or upon any ton men. Every orisis produces its heroes. No great wrong can reach a head without finding able men to put a stop to it. But I confess that when I see a venerable man like Jameß Buchanan lending all tho influence and power of the Federal Government—which has grown into & colossal, imperial oligarchy—to crush out the sovereignty of tho people, to break down independent thought, and to apologise and enoour age frauds and atrocities in the Territories, I feel as if tho Union needed a great mind in tho present exigency. What a chance Is this emergency for such n statesman as Jefferson Davis, in throwing behind him all his local prejudices, ho could grapplo with the present danger, and, rising abovo a sectional atmosphere, appeal to tho great conservative heart of tho people! What an opportunity, too, for such a man as Robert H. Toombs, who, with all his im pulses, possesses many nobio traits, and who, as I havo some reason to know, (at ono time, at least,} properly appreciated tho follies of tho present General Administration ! In the Southern Statos Uxe rivalry ban become, not a rivalry between pa triots, not a struggle between men anxious to go farthest in moderate constitutional counsels, but it has bocomo a tost to say who shall suggest tho most radical, ultra, and alarming remedy for wh&t is supposed to be tho threatening condition of pub lic affairs. The moderate mon ef yesterday in that region, those who not along ago were attacking the fire-eaters, have beon transformed themselves into fire-eaters. In this clash of factions And this com petition for priority, tho voice of patriotism is lost to those who would be ready to take the initiative on tho right side, or are silent, or, in order to savo themselves at homo, aro compelled to join in tho halloo. Have wo no Clay, no Webster, no Silas no John J. Crittonden, no William K. King, in galaxy of our present statesmen? There is a sure way by which peaco and harmony may be restored to our distracted country, and in my opinion, but oneway. In 1850, after tho adop tion of the Compromise measures, and the substitu tion of the old theory of Congressional intervention for that of non-intervention and popular control in the Territories, tho effeot of those measures was so groat that both parties, in their subsequent Balti more Conventions In 1852—the one that nominated Pierce, and the other that nominated compelled to endorse them. Tho cousoquonoo was, that the Presidential battlo was made u upoq other Issues. It was an old-fashioned fight. ThoSo who are eo afraid of the " eternal nigger” did not find it in that contest. General Scott was discussed from Lundy’s Lane to Churubuaco, and General Piorco investigated from tho timo when ho sat in Congross to his return from tho war. Tho result was & great national triumph. Why should not the moderate men of both partioa imitate this ex ample in thoir coming National Conventions 7 I porcoivo that some of tho Republican papers, alarmed at tho illogical position they aro made to occupy against the argument of tho Democrats who stand with Judge Douglas, that, in thoir sup port of the Crittenden-Montgomery bill in tho last Congress, they endorsed tho very doctrine of popu. lar sovereignty which their present lenders do nounco and ridioulo—these papers aro sug gesting tho propriety of accepting the platform laid down and adhered to by those who occupy your position to-day. In turning our attention to the Southern Statos, whatever may bo the eurfaoe feeling growing out of the Harper’s Ferry affair, it is apparent that the sentiment in favor of the great doctrine of -non-intervention, as advocated by Judge Douglas, is growing stronger with every day in that part of the country. If tho Demo cratic Convention at Charleston desires to strengthen the bonds of tho Union, they will un hesitatingly overpower all those who rocowmend violent counsels, und tako tbo old Democratic platform as illustrated in the late canvass by Judge Douglas and bis friends. Then, If the Republican party is anxious to clear its skirts from nil charge of sectionalism, and realty to nationalize itself, lot it follow the example of Charleston, and do the same thing, if not in tonus, at least in substance. This is tho way to remove tho “eternal uiggor” from the field. This is tho way to settle the question. There must bo some sacrifices of opi nion, aud sorno great little men must oomo down from their personal pedestals. Hero and there an aspirant for office must bo removed, possibly dis graced, but in the end tho great interests of the country shall be subserved. We shall then have no more squabbling on the Congressional theory of intervention, which, whether advocated by Repub licans or Administration men, is alike contempt iblo and impracticable. The popular rule in the Territories has vindicated itself. It is a fact. Mr. Corwin may laugh at it; in Now York Mr. Greoley may ridicule it in bis Tribune , and purchas ed correspondents at this capital may assail those who have made it their shibboleth during tho lust two years, while in tbo South the extreme jour nalists may attempt to get away from the record, written and sworn to by themselves. This much is olear, that it has done its work, that the popular rule has pioved to be the right rule, and that it will prevail, no matter who may be President next year . Tho Compromise measures of 1860 were succeeded by a period of calm, such as was hailed by all good citizens with joy The repoal of tho Missouri Compromise, in 1851, questioned as it may have been, was, nevertheless, a logical con sequence from the aots of I 860; and although it has been succeeded by a period of intonso excitement, yet “Out of the nettle Danger let us riuek tho flowor Safety.” From this chaos we shall bo able to rescue a principle that, however opposed, will, in tho end, prevail. Nothing can prevent the triumph of this principle but a dissolution of the American Union. Let the leaders of tho great partios ponder upon tbeso words. I put them upon your imperishablo psgo, and make them my prediction. Occasional.

Waller will oonolude her per* formanoes at Wainut-stroet theatre, where her suc cess, in pieces whioh enabled her genius to exer cise its great power, has really been tho most un equivocal for years, in this oity. She has created the part of the Duchess of Malji, in Webster’s play (In whioh she appeared last night,) but exhibits oven yet more marked ability in Lady Madeth, in whioh character she first won the attention and admiration of lovers of the dtama boro. For sho has to ooniond with tradition os to formor perform ors in this role, and with tho rccollootion of tho few of celobrity who yet survive. She has struck out upon a new line in this delineation,—that of in tense truth and nature. Mrs. Waller, for her benefit, which must bo a success—and she do serves it—will this evening play Lady Mac beth. Afterwards she will repeat Meg Memltes, her rendition of whioh obaraeter is confessedly ono of her greatest triumphs, and a worthy illustration of the genius of Soott, which sketched it in tho no vel of “Guy Mannoring." We expeot to seo by far the fullest houso of tho season—a well-morited tribute to high personal charaotor and dramatic power of the highest order. “ Dot" has vanished.

To-night a novelty will be prosented, which has been unusually popu lar at Wallack’B Theatre, Now York. It is a ploco written by Monoricff, the veteran English dra matist, now called “ Fast Men of the Olden Time." It was altered and adapted by Mr. Lester Wallack, and brought out at his father’s theatre with great success. Wo doubt whether it can be better plny od than at tho Arch-strootThoatro, where the com pany is good, and tho mechanical effects, soonory, and costume so well attended to. The time of this drama is that of tho Socond Charles. Tho merry " Sovereign Lord the King, Whose word no man relies on, Who never said a foolish thing, Nor ever did a wise one," figures in the mimic scene, together wl lh Rochester, tho Duke of Buckingham, and a goodly array of fictitious characters. It is a good, stirring, effec tive piece, and tho whole strength of the company will be concentrated upon it. Dak Rice’s Giibat Show.— The present is the third week of the season at the National, and the reforms in the management of tho establislMnaßt whioh have beon instituted under the direction of Mr. Dan. Rioe, have become generally known and appreciated among the better classes of the com munity. The itnmenso amphitheatre is now night ly crowded with audiences of tho highest respecta bility, and many of our most distinguished citizens are among its regular visitors. Perfect order and decorum are maintained in every part ot tbo house, and attentive ushers aro always in roali neßs to procuro desirable goats for its patrons. The entertainments given have already been spoken of in these columns as eminently novel and interest ing, while at tho same timo they are free from ma ny objectionable foatures such as aro too often tolo ratod in exhibitions of this description. Few of ourcitizo.ns, probably, have an adequato idea of the magnitude of the establishment under notice. The National Theatre has a frout of over eighty feet on Walnut street, and extends book a distanco of nearly three hundred ftot, to Sansom street. In capacity, its auditorium is next to that of the Academy of Musio, twolvo hundred dollars having boon frequently taken at the present prices at a single performance. Over sixteen hundred tiokets have been taken af the second tier door, alono, on a single night. The large arena for equestrian feats is backod a stago for dramatic or hippo-dramatic representations, tho front por tion of which is movable, and, whon required, slides over one-half of the ring. The depth of tho stage from the footlights is then ovor ninety feet. In the rear of the stago, and within the building, are the stables for tho ring horses and accommodations for the trained animals. Excellent jndgment has been shown in the arrangement of this department, and tho equine "artists” aro provided with ovory comfort and convenience. In addition to tho horses kept in these stables, thore are some thirty horses boardod outsido of the city limits, but these are only usod in tho representation of stage pieces. There is a passage through the stables, which connects by sliding doors with tho stago, for the entranoo of processions, Ac., which, when thrown opon, makes the entire diatanco from the footlights noarly two hundred feet. Over the sta bies is a large arena for breaking and practising horses, and this, too, can bo thrown open so as to connect with the stago, and is at times made very effective in representing mountain scenery and passes. A troop of horse can be introduced from this arena And made to descend to tho stago. A carpenter’s shop, store-rooms, shops for tho manu facture of wardrobe and properties, and a great number of dressing-rooms, aro included in tho build ing. The collection of scenory is one of the most extensive in tho country, much of U tho work of artists of the highest reputation. The porformers, musicians, property-men, grooms, eto., «(<•., •mployod in the establishment farm quite a littlo army, and tho total expenses aro of course very heavy. This is tho only regular and com pletely organized ampitheatre in tho country. It is a credit to the city, and bids fair to prove highly remunerative to lts present proprietor, for Mr. Dan Rico’s managerial tact and energy caunot fail -to command a lasting suoooes. Letter from New York. IIISENAN, MOnHISSKV, AND GTIIBK PUGILISTS I.Y -BICTBD AND TO BE TAKEN TO BUFFALO FOR TRIAL TUB DUtIYBA TESTIMONIAL— LOLA MOXTKZ— OERIUT SMITH —MR. LOWE AND HIS BAG—DEBUT OF ALUERTIN! : A SUCCESS. (Correspondence of The Press.] New York, Nov. 18, 1859. The fighting men are In a quandary, Yosterday Deputy Sheriff Tylor, of Buffalo, ono of the most successful detectives in the United State?, and an officor who enjoys in a high degree tho respoet of tho bench and bar ofWostern New York, came down from Buffalo with warrants for lleenan, tho Benicia Boy, John Morrissey, and other pugilists and sporting mon who were engagod in tho recent prize-fights at PointAbino, Canada West. A year or two ago the Legislature of this State passed a law with special reference to pewontf who might leavo this State for tho purpose of participating as principals or seconds, or in any way as promoters of a prize-fight, making such par; ticipation a penal offenco. At the fight be tween Morrissey and Heenßn, and at the’eub- Eequeut contest botween King, of Boston, and Australia Kelley, tho authorities wero uoable to cffoct tho arrest of any of the partios, not fan cying ft skrimmage with a crowd of bullies and bruisers. There are men who were so malictous as to say that tho police made no extraordinary efforts to do their duty ou thoso occasions, but of that thero is no evidence. All the principals in the last two fights, who are now in this oity, have bocn oallod upon by Oflfiecr Tyler, and notified at what hour they must report themselves to him at tho railroad depot and accompany him to Buffalo, where bills of indictment havo been found against them in the Supremo Court. If they decline to accompany tho officer peacefully and “politely,” ho will he aided in enforcing his process by the police of this city. These men will be tnul in Buffalo, and, if found guilty, will bo summarily disposed of in conformity with tho statuto. The people of that city aro justly indignant thut It shoutd overy year be made a place ot rendezvous for the prize-fighters of tho country, when there aro plain laws standing on the statute-books, making such offences a misdemeanor. Tho merchants of this city, who, a fiiw weeks since, determined to give some public expression of thoir appreciation of tho military services of Colo nel Duryea, lato’commander of tho Soventh Regi ment, have deolded to present him with a $1,200 sorvloe of piste—tho presentation to take placo some timo next month. It is now being manufac tured by Tiffany A Company, who hare liberally offered to charge for nothing moro than tbo silver and work actually expended upon it.

Borne of lior old friends, tho Bohomlnns, now and then drop in to havo a little chat with her, and though sbo talks beautifully of herpresent feelings and way of life, sho generally, by way of paren thesis, takes out her littlo tobacco pouriTand makes a cigarette or two for self and friend, and then falls back upon old timos with derided gusto and cffoct. But sho doesn’t toll anybody what she’s going to do. Dr. Gray, tho physician of the State Lunatio Asylum at Utloa, has expressed the opinion to members of Mr. Gorrit Smith’s family, thatthoro is reasonable ground for hope that Mr. 9. mAy soon be restored to perfect soundness of intellect. Mr. Lowe has statod that, unless prevented by a storm, he will positively start on his aerial trip across tho Atlantic to-morrow afternoon. The in flation of the mammoth bag was nearly completed to-day. It is not known who tho “ distinguished member of tho editorial corps” is who is to accom pany him. I am a little surprised, this morning, at the nonobalanco with which tho muaioal critics speak of the debut, last evening, of Madame Albertlni. To judgo by some of tbo morning papers, It was only a partial success. Certainly I have seen nothing at tho opera tho present season comparable to the applause that was bestowed upon tho per formance, from boginning to end. Both tho madamo and her husband (Bcauoarde) wore on* thusiastically applauded, and, at the conclusion of ono act, were throe times called before tho ourtain to receivo tho approbation of the audience. I am not at all proflcicut in the’ aesthetics of crotchets and quavers, and never hover on the bor ders of lunacy about this or that morceau, or tho merits of this or that singer or composer, but I rather abandon myself to tbo notion that the spontaneous judgment of threo or four thousand people composing an audionco is the best criterion of an artist’s merit. The audience last night was cf an amazing oneness on this point. Mrs. Stra kosoh sang tho part of Azuccna with an earnest ness and artistio excellence that carrlod the house with hor throughout.

A very largo fire ocourrcd during the night, about four miles from Charlestown, and tho mili tary wero ordered out oxpooting an attuck. but none was made. Tho particulars of the firo could not.bo ascer tained by tho messenger, but they will probably bo ascertained on tho arrival hero of tho train from Winchester.

Washington, Nov 18 —A company comprising 87 infantry and riflemon loft Alexandria for Charlestown, by tho early traiu via tho Relay House. Capt.

Harper’s Ferry, November 18 —Tho oxcito meutlost night was caused by the burning of a wheat stack about throo miles from Charlestown. Tbo military and tbo whole populaco were called to arms, and tho wildest terror prevailed among the people, with tho supposition that Colonel Davis had somo information of an approaching danger. Tbo panic among the people extended to tho Colonel, and a messenger was sout by him to Har per’s Ferry, with a despatch to the Governor, call ing for two companios of cavalry. This morning, tho firo was found to bo tho work of an unknown incondiary, but no person could bo found in tho oountry on whom suspicion could rest. Thoro aro now a thousand men under arms, and no enemy to bo found to encounter. The troops from Alexandria arrived at Charles town this afternoon, and those by tho way of Win chester are expected to-morrow morning. Tho Baltimoro and Ohio Railroad Company have sont Col. Shutt with an anned posso to Harper’s Ferry to guard the bridge and proporty of the compauy at that point. There is much dissatisfaction both hero and at Charlestown, at tho precipitate action of Col. Davis, iu sending despatches for troops, instead of first sending out a posse to inquire into the causo of tho fire. The peoplo think they havo boon made to appear in a ridiculous light beforo the country, and they aro more than half right on that point. Washington, Nov. 18.— Tho Government to day ordered 2,000 pounds of powder, a largo number of Mini© balls and howitzer sbolls, from the Washing ton arsenal to Harper’s Ferry. Operation* of'tlic United States Co«s Survey Service* Washington, Nov. 18. —The roporUof the North, ern Coast. Survoy parties have all been received and mado up in Professor Bacho'a office. Among these operations the interesting facts worthy of note aro: Tho primary triangulation of tho cistern coast has boen extended by tho superintendent’s party during the past season to tho boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. The closing result! have been lookod for with inuoh interest bv Pro fessor Baoho, who baa conducted, personally, the work of the triangulation from Massachusetts to the eastern boundary. This part of the triangulatlon is the work of fif teen years, the summer seasons only being favora ble for field operations on that part of tho coast. ' As a verification of .tho computed length of tho lines of the a baso of verification was measured on hoping Plains, near tho eastern boundary of Maiao in 1857, and the final opera tion of connecting this baso with the trinogula tionhas just been complotod. Tho result snows tho most remarkable degree of accuracy. From tho Massachusetts base, near Boston, which was measured In 1844 by Mr. Blunt, and which is nearly elovon miles long, to the base of verification on Epping Plains, the distance through the trian gulation is 200 miles. The sldos of the trianglos connecting theso two baso lines average forty-fivo miles in length. From the Fire Island base, on tho south aide of Long Island, measured by Mr. lias* rier, through the triangulation to the Massacbu settß base, tho distance is 170 ntilos. Tho Epping base of verification Is, in round numbers 51 miles !°ng- Tho interest, in tho closing operations has been to soo how the length of tho Epping baso, as compu ted from tho moan of theso two basos through tho triangulalion, would compare with tho length ascer tained by aotual measurement in 1857. Tho results are almost identical, tho difference being only about o nt’jij'th of an inch. This Is not the result of chance, but of the scientific methods, tho care, and the skill with which the work has been per formed. Tho primary Iriangulation thus furnishes a great number of air-lino distances with remnrkablo accuracy. From Dnenos Ayres* New York, Nov. 18.—An arrival furnishes later advices from Buenos Ayres.

City sixes are selling abo\e par, an<l the now isßitc, free of taxation, at 104 K Pennsylvania Railroad shares nre at 37/. Reading is very heavy Yet there are many parties who have high hopes of Roadlng, and it wuuld not ho surprising if tho stock ran up rapidly at an early day. The story upon which theso hopes are based is that one of tho hea viest English holders of tho stock ami bonds is on his way to this country with a proposition so favo* rablo that it could only have come from parties deeply interested In the stock. The plan provides for tho clearing off of all tho bondod indebtedness of tho company maturing up to the end of 1860, taking in return for theso the bonds of 1886, of which the company havo enough on hand unissued to provide for the payment at the price fixed by tho aforesaid gentleman from Englaud. Tho price is high, nod the whole arrangemont a much more favorable one than the company could otherwise have hoped for. The terms are said to havo been made known to tho directors of tho company in advance, and to meet their grateful acccptanoo. With tho incubus of the accruing in debtedness lifted off the company, tho bonds of 1870 would be tho first incumbrance and those of 1886 tako tho place now occupied by thoio of 1870 The 1870 bonds are quoted now at 78}, those of 1886 at 68}. Under tho proposed arrangement It Is expected that the latter bonds would go up in prico to about 80, and tho stock riso considerably. It Is reported that a heavy outside operator has hod tho oall for nearly four thousand shares of Reading nt 21 for some week*, and Is ready to take all he dan got on tho same terms. For sale* tho closing prices to-day wero 18} bid, 19 asked. Tho condition of tho money market would bo very differently roportod to-day, according to the sourens of an inquirer's information. A speculator n passongor railway shares would report tho market vory tight. A banker would say tho mar ket had tightened up a great deal, and that money was rapidly growing scarce. A note-broker of first-class reputo would say tho market wa* very easy indeed. Tho shipment* of apecio to New York have, fur somo day*, been large, and the banks, always nervous, are a littlo frightened. Thoy aro curtailing their loans rather rapidly, not by withdrawing loans to their mercantile custom ers and largo depositors, but by drawing right and left upon tho other depositories of their inonoy, who do not appreciate the process of paying up sobighly as the receiving creditors.

A Word About Silver’s Gas-Conspuixci Stove*.— I There is probably no other article nianufae tured in this city at the present time that has in so short a period grown into universal favor as the celebrated Stoves known as “Silver's rntent Gas-consuming, ’’ and manufactured and sold in this city br Mr. John 8. Clark, at his wareroome, No. 1006 Market street. There are many imitations of this splendid Stove in the mar ket, of wlu.-h purchasers should beware ; in all cases, however, they will find a genuine article, and manu factured in the best *tjle, of the moat substantial ma terial, at Mr. Clark’s, No. 1006 Market street They are admirably adapted for Parlor, Dining-room, Chamber, and Office pnrposes. Mr. Clark, as stated in a former article, has this season introduced several valuable improvements to this popu lar Btove. Amongthesewe maymention hisnew Regis ter on tho top, which answers at once the double pur pose of ventilating the room and equalizing the tem perature of the Stove over its entire surface.makmg the atmosphere quite as pleasant as where a wood-fire is employed. This important addition to the Btove, as made by Mr. Clark, is attached in the form oftnura, and is, in fact, no less ornamental than it is useful. His new cast iron mouthpiece is also an advantage peculiar to the Stoves of Clark’s manufacture. Besides giving additional strength, this mouthpiece adds to the finish of the Stove. We may also 4ts*e in this connection that the Stores of this celebrated house are all manu factured by the best workmen, and of the best ftainar Russia sheet iron. The advantages attending the actnal use of this Stove can hardly be over-estimated. No Stove was ever invented that would retain fire the tame length of time with so small a quantity of coal. We speak experimentally when we say that in this respect the Stove is really a greater wonder than it is claimed to be by Mr. Clark. We are fully satisfied that three quarters of a ton of coal will be sufficient to keep one of them in constant operation an entire winter, and heat a large room. This Stove is not only economical, but is an ornament to a room t and we are aesared by Mr. Clark that they will last, with careful use, from twenty to twenty-five years. We have, probably, al ready said enough to induce all who need a Store to rive those of Mr. Clark’s manufacture the preference over all others In the market. Purchasers will always get the worth of their money by purchasing them; and ns they are m all cases iuaranut<i to give satisfaction, they are Secured against risk, to say the least. With alt these excellences of an article as seasonable as Stores are at this season of the year.it.it not sur prising that the desnand for them soou after the season opeued was beyond Mr. Clark's ability to supply them. Notwithstanding that he had over two thousand of them made before the season opened, the recent short spell of cold weather materallj damaged his assortment; but his stock has leensinca-teaavedj and is now \erj complete in all the different sixes. For a first rate Stove cir readers will doubtless infer from the above (and they will infer correctly) that John S. Clark’*; No. 1005 Market i» *fe©-ptace to go to.
