BowHAn ot Pennsylvania, the concern {has .dropped its name for an alias, and Is now conducted by an Englishman; who devotes himself to the coDgenialduty of aid ing to break up the Democratic party and the Union of these States ’at one and the same time. The paper which began on tho day of Hr. Boohasas's' inauguration as the expo nent; ,bf ; 'the' great , principle. of self-go vernment., under bis Administration, and as- the faithfnl detender of the policy .upon which- he was elected—-the oracle through which, the country was told that he intended honorably to make good all of his promises in the campaign of 1856—is about to close, its career as the oracle of a sectional Southern party, led on by the avowed enemies ot the. .Union, and devoted to a war upon the 1 con servative Democracy of the free States. What a . contrast between this history and the,’history -of the old- Qlebe, conducted by Esaxois Pi Blau I That .journal, hniltnp under the Administration of Anonsw Jack goa; Animated.by his counsels arid uttering his opinions, became a terror to evil-doors in the Democratic party, lashing weak and cor tußttnen .in Congress-and out of it, and fur nishing food for thought to : hundreds of strug gling editors in every prnrt of the Union. It .survived the terrible.conflict with the Bank of tbe.United. States; it cried aloud and spared not during the panic' of 1887; it upheld the principles of the Administration of Vat) Bdrkn, assisted in the final triumph of the Independent Treasury; and led, the way, when that great divorce took place between, Bank and State> which Is to this day cherished as among the proudest memorials bf the Democratic party- In Beason and out of season, when the De mocracy were defeated and victoirous,. the Olobt was the newspaper leader or the Union. When' Johs Tti.ee mounted to the Presi dency - qver the grave of ’ William Hxhbt Baxkisox, holding out his blandishments to the weak and venal, the Olobt maintained a defiant and independent position. It aided in the . defeat of Mr. Clat in 1814, and- its In trepid editor stood with bis flag flying when Jams K. Polk came into the Presidential chair in 1815. Then James Bucbakam aided Join C. Galhocm in supplanting Mr. Blau. Blair had rendered himself obnoxious to tho NnlUflers because of his devotion to the prin ciples of Andrew Jaokson, and it came but, after the. election of Mr. Folk, that .a. main consideration i for the support of the extreme men in the South was the stipulated secret surrender by Mr. Polk of Mr. Blau. Tho veteran Kitchie sncceeded.the veteran Blair, and dtl ring the Administration of Mr. Polk continued steadily to uphold the principles of the Democratic patty. After Ritchie came that noble eld man,.RoBEBT Armstrong, of Tennessee, who, with- hie corps of editors, maintained Demo, cratic principles under the Administrations of Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Pierce. It was re served for James Buchanan's Administration to sat a new .example of the management of national organs .as it has set a new example in the destruction of tho Democratic party.- There is to-day no journal at the seat of the Federal Government that speaksfor .the old fashioned Democracy, no bold Blau thunders, oat for fundamental Democratic principles, no indefatigable Ritchie appeals to the pride and to the recollections of that great old party, no disinterested Armstrong unfurls the flag that has pointed the way to so many victories. A Sectional Administration is represented by a sectional newspaper; and, as the Democratic party seems to be marching to certain over throw,those whobave prepared the way for this calamity are rioting upon the profits paid to them aa a reward for their baseness and their ingratitude. - * The Japanese Again. Shall we never bear the last of the Japanese? They placed $20,000 in the hands of Mr. Acocarrz Button!, to be presented to the police of Washington, Baltimore, Philadel phia, and New York, aa “ an acknowledgment of the efficiency of the police in contributing to their comfort.” Of this snm, New York receives nearly $14,000, which the veritable Herald tutjt la “ a strictly mathematical fact,” whatever (hat may be, » but, at the same time, it Is a silent recognition of the superiority of onr police. In Washington the police did lit tle or nothing, except to gnard the treaty box. In'Baltimore there was hardly any opportu nity tor the display of the force. In Phila delphia the police were utterly incompetent. They permitted themeb to ineult the Princes, ic prete upon their carriages, and to annoy them with vulgar gesturet and ribald remarks. The street crowd at Philadelphia behaved in the most disgraceful manner, and the police could or would do nothing with them. In New York the police behaved splendidly—pn the day ef the reception, that of the visit to the City Hall,' and generally in maintaining Order In and about the Metropolitan Hotel.” 1 . There was a mnltitode of spectators In Phi ladelphia on the day when the Japanese were circnitohsly conveyed through the city, at the rate of a mile an hoar, bat no mob. A better behaved multitude we never saw. The Japa nese were. neither crowded upon, nor beset, nor insulted here. Our police bad no need to interfere. It was In New York, not in Phila delphia, that the Japanese were advertised to be seen in Niblo’s' Garden, daily, at 50 cents a head. It was New York aldermen who sold forged, tickets of admission, for rowdies, to tho Japanese ball, Lastly, the'whole municipal appropriation of $lO,OOO, in this city, wm not expended, whereas. New York voted $BO,OOO to entertain the Embassy, and certain aider men ud connclimen spent $lOO,OOO in enter taining themselves. Too Late! Fxaxcis the Second, King of the Two Sicl ies, and son of King Boxba, the notorious tyrant and perjurer, has granted a new Con futation, and allowed the tri-coler flag to be hoisted in his capital—the soft Partbenope of the poets—with a view of checking the pro gress Of Bevolution. His concessions come too lato. His subjects will accept nothing from him bnt his absence, and that they will enforce before he Is many day* older. Too late I—What histories are connected with those two simple words. ■ How earnestly might the moralist muse upon all that they Involve.' Here is the Sovereign of' one of the flneat kingdoms of Europe, newly seated up on his throne, with as bright prospects as any oi bis. line ever possessed. By avoiding the evil policy of bis dead father whose name no honest .Neapolitan or Sicilian utters without an imprecation, he might have inaugurated a new political system' of humanity, modera tion, agd justice. He lets the precious Op portunity" pus by. He Shows himself to be unjvorthy son of. a most 'Worthless sire, and the cries of his victims ascend from his noi some dungeons, and torture-chambers, start ling the air with pain and dolor-. At last, Ga niaAtDi, an Apostle of Freedom, if over man were since the death of Washington, lands in Sicily with a few hundred ill-armed' volun teers, and, in less than a month, his head quarters are in Palermo, and he is virtually ruler of the fair island, and is preparing to in vade the Neapolitan territory on the main land. The world’s sympathies are with him, and Freedom cheers him onward, with voice, and hand, and heart. At this moment—baffled, frightened, beset, and mocked at—the Neapolitan Sovereign grants «a-liberal Constitution.” But—too Fate: It cemes too late. Europe recollects, as stso do his subjects, how his father also granted aConaUtation in 1848, solemnly swore to nubtaln it, and violated it, peijnrer as he had ,the power so. a seml Ctmstitntloinjy jiCing son. The Fees of Letter-Carriers Tho letter-carriers connected -with our Post Office arc exceedinglyiodigusiititt the now re gulation rytuch iiti rocently gone into effect, uutiorlzlng themto charge only one cent, in stead ot jiwo cents'; for- thi delivery of letters receivcd-here by mail, to the persona to whom they areaddressed. It hrqiilte -possible that their revenues will bo seriously diminished by this change, and that, so iar as their individual interests are concerned, it is therefore an un fortunate one. But, however ranch this lobb may be deplored by the parties directly con cerned, there are excellent .reasons for the new regulation, and it is a step in the right di rection which should command general ap proval. If any one, felicitating himself upon the general intelligence of the American people, because nearly every adult native white citizen can read and write, were ashed whether Great { Britain or the United States, with nearly an equal population, forwarded and received by mail the greatest number of letters, he would almost certainly reply, if he had not examined the statistics relating to this subject, that the correspondence of Our citizens was much more extensive than that of the people of Great Bri tain. But this opinion is exceedingly erro neous. Instead of the number of letters for warded in the United States exceeding the number forwarded in Great Britain, or even equalling it, more than three letters are for warded through tho, British post offices to every letter sent through the mails in America. In 1856 the total number of American letters was 181,460,409, while the British lettersnum bered 478,898,808. The average number of letters forwarded by each person in Great Britain annually is 17, while in the United States it is bnt 4.91 For this extraordinary difference in the amount of correspondence between the people of the two countries there are dOßbtless many reasons. But the most poweribl ones are to be found in the universal prevalence in Great Britain of the cheap postage system and the care taken to deliver at each man’s residence the, letters directed to . him, Tor a trifling cost. The uniform British rate of letter postage (when the weight is not unusual) is hut one penny, or about two cents —and this charge includes Its delivery at his door, without extra compensation to letter carriers—in all of the chief towns and cities, and even in many villages and rural districts. For the charge which has hereto fore prevailed in this. country simply for the delivery ot a letter received at a post office io the person to whom it is addressed in a differ ent part of the' city, Great Britain has, since 1840, received, forwarded by mail, and de livered all correspondence within her home dominions, and her reward for this economi cal and accommodating method of supply ing the wants of her people, has been the creailon of an Immense correspondence, from the revenues of which she not only is re paid for. her expenditures, but annually de rives a very handsome surplus profit, which amounted, in 1856, to 9 6,088,625, and proba bly exceeds that sum at the present time. In no respect is there a greater contrast be. tween the British postal system, which, since its thorough reformation in 1840, has been tho most successful branch of her Govern ment, and the American system, which is in many respects a failure, constantly requi ring large appropriations to sustain it, as well as a fruitful source of discontent by its ina bility to satisfy the just expectations of the American people, than in the measures taken by the two countries to insure the delivery of letters, when they arrive at their proper post offices, to the persons to whom they are direct ed. This fact will readily, be seen when we state that in Great Britain in 1854,4,895 letter carriers were employed in cities and towns, at a salary of $804,576, and 4,326 letter-carriers were employed in rural districts, at salaries of $601,420, making $1,405,995 paid for tho performance of this service alone, under a ' cheap postage system which was extremely profitable, while the whole pay of letter-car. riers in onr country in 1856 was set down at $162,915. The redaction of their fee to one cent per letter is bnt a small' step, it is trne, towards the introduction of a general system which would greatly promote the convenience of the , public and the revenue of the Department}' bnt it is a step in the right direction, and it is • to be hoped that it will be followed up by other measures which will eventually place', our post-office arrangements upon a proper footing. _ Mr. Buchanan’s Speech. Mr. Bdchakav snnonnees that the political speech delivered by himself, from one of the windows of the Presidential mansion, a fow midnights ago, will, in all human likelihood, be his last. Should this annonneement be verified, it will be, without exception, the most gratifying intelligence the country has re ceived from that quarter, tho last three years. certain memorable occasion, recorded In Scifpture history, the last wine served to the wedding guests was the best. 80, too, orni thologists assert, that the euthanasia, or dying notes of the swan, are the sweetest. This order is here, however, sadly reversed. The “ last political speech” of the distinguished “old public functionary,” now in the occu pancy of the Whits Bongo, so far from being tho best he has ever delivered, deserves to be classed among his weakest and poorest. It wonld greatly redonnd to his credit had hs not delivered that last “ political speech” at all. Bnt, having delivered it, there Is certainly a compensatory consideration in the assurance that It is to have no successor, as wo trust its puthor may not have, at least not one of “ tho same sort.” As a mere matter of taste, irrespective of every ether consideration, we think this “ last political speech” bad better been left unspo ken. We hold the example to be an offence against Presidential dignity, to characterise it by no harsher phrase. Very cortain is it, that not Georok WAsaixaToif, nor TftouAS Jef febson, nor any of the sage and venerate,? fathers who filled that high ofilco, wonld ever have thought of converting it into an elec tioneering rostrum.' Never before has tho White House —the property of tho entire country—been prostituted to such ignoble ends. And, if .the manner of the speech be offensive, it is nnhappily not at all relieved by any compensatoiy features in the matter. Both are alike exceptionable. We have only timo, to-day, to point out a few of its glaring inconsistencies and fallacies. Mr. Buchanan characterises the nominees of the Secessionists as « conservative” states men. Yet he forgets to state, whatever their own character, that they are the representa tive candidates of all tho Disnnlonlsts, nulli fiers, . Secessionists, and radical fire-eaters of the country. From such 11 conservatism” as they wonld bring ns, may the conntry forever be delivered! With characteristic effrontery, the speaker claims to have “ ever been the friend of regu lar nominations,” and this in tho very teeth of the world-known tact, that he was, and is yet, tho very head and front of the Danite bogus organization. In Illinois—an organization so notoriously usurped and Irrc'gnlar, that the Secesslonißts themselves felt obliged to reject it by a unanimous vate at'Charleston I After hounding on his office-holders, as he has done, to defeat and destroy the regular nomi nations of the party there, and elsewhere—and now to defeat the regular nominations of the party in the Union —what consummate ef frontery to claim to have “ always been the friend of Tegnlar nominations,” and to have never atruek a regular ticket! Can hypocrisy go further ? The allegation that Judge had not a two-third vote of the entire nominating body, as it existed before the secession, and, there fore, is not tho regular nominee of the party, is as preposterous as it Is historically nntrue. Mr. Buchanan is a lawyer, and he mnst have learned, when yet practising in the Quarter Sessions of Lancaster county, the legal maxim, as ancient as it is truo, that “No man can he suffered to tako advantage of his own wrong.” How dishonorable for the Secessionists, led on byYASCKt & Co., to enter the Conveptlpp, attempt to control its proceedings, but when fairly and honorably beaten, take to their heels, and then make mouths hack at the re maining delegates, and taunt them with the allegation that they have not two-thirds of a ftill body 1 This is the recklessness of the gambler,'who stakes a large Bum on the throw of a card, resolved, that if ho winß he will take the stakes with joy, bnt if he loses, be will grab the entire bank, and proceed to the nearest magistrate and lodge complaint against the keeper! And this kind of political grab-game this renowned stickler for regular nominations, from the very windows apd steps 'THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 14. 1830. of the White House, approves and endorses! Oh I shame, where ia thy blush 1 Another of. Hr. Buchanan's glaring miß representations consist* in the allegation that the Supremo Court, hare decided in favor of tho right of the slaveholder to carry his slaves into the Territories, and have them protected by the General Government, whether the peo ple of the Territory wish slavery or not. As a candid man, he ought to have mentioned that this is the very point in dispute. We contend, and the great majority of the Demo cratic party contends, that the Supreme Court have decided nothing of the hind, the question never having been submitted to them. This Mr. BretUNAN knows as Well as we, and, as an honest* jrnblie, functionary, he might not to have omitted It from his “last political speech.” Afaother of Mr. Buoiianan’s Inconsistencies Is seen in the declaration that both Douglas and Bbeokinhidoe have been irregnlaily no minated, and that, therefore, Democrats are at perfect liberty' to make choice of either, without having their Democracy Impugned. If this be so, then why does he, in the sacred bat sadly abused name of Democracy, decapi tate those who exercise this freedom ? This liberty he boldly claims for Jilmself, and in ttteory, too, allows to others, but In practice them for exercising. The most glaring of all Mr. Buchanan's eccentricities, however, consists in the fact that, maugre all his treacheries and tergiversa tions, he still claims to bo a Democrat! He seems not content, either, with claiming to be a Democrat of the every-day sort, but pro fesses to be a Democrat, par excellence, of the straitest and strictest sect—a Democrat of tho ne phis ultra stamp—a very diamond among common stones! With what justice, the fore going facts will illustrate. It has passed into a proverb, that It is not possible to construct a silk purse out of a sow's ear, not for want of skill on the part of manufacturers, but because of the niter ab sence of any such delicate Bnb3tance in the aforesaid porkish appendage. So, we opine, the effort to make a Democrat out of a torn Federalist has proved a failure, not from the want of earnest and persevering effort, hut solely because of the wholly impropitlons character of the raw material. Mew York, everybody confesses, is far be hind Philadelphia and many other cities in re spect to markets. There were only two of any importance—one at the east of the city, at the end of Fulton street, and the other at tho west, on the bank of the North river. Fnlton market has long been noted as a great colony of rats, which appear to claim the placo as their own. Washington market, nearly opposite, on tho other sido of tho city, consisted of numerous low sheds, or shan ties, to approach which, In .winter, a person had to wade through a few squares of tena cious mud—filthy, unwholesome, and abo minable in all respects. Numerous at tempts have been made to remove these dread fully Inconvenient and thoroughly unwhole some markets—to replace them, in better situa tions, with clean, airy, and wholesome edifices like those which now are tho pride and con venience of Philadelphia. The land on which they stand is city property, which, if sold as building ground, would roaliso sufficient cash to build half a dozon good and exteissivo mar kets, farther np, in much better localities. Fire, which Is a great evil, sometimes does good. On Wednesday last, that groat and disgraceful social evil, Washington Market, was destroyed by fire, with a vast number of sheds in its vicinity, the whole covering an area ol about three acres. The total damage to the persons who sold produce and other arti cles lljere, is estimated at Dorn $lOO,OOO to $160,000. There is little prospect, it is to he hoped, that Washington Market will eyor again rise out of the-ruins which now cover its old site. What law, reason, health, conve nience, and even inierut, have hitherto failed to effect will be done, It Is expected, by the agency of Fire. The wretched apology for a public market has been burned down, and now is the tipje to reprove it to a suitable locality, and replace It by a handsome, Con venient, substantial edifice, the model of which pan he readily w} willingly supplied hyPhlla-. delphia. .!■ From this city, where they-have long been used with advantage, New York has been glad to'take steam fire-engines.

Unfortunately for that section of the Union, since J nines Buchanan came Into power, its politloiane have ranged themsolvas steadily on the side of what they have not been able to deny was unrelieved wrong. Their course on the giecojspton question, which was so eloquent* ly and frankly denounced by toatpj; flam* mond, and which, to use his own expression) “ ought to have been kicked out of Congress,” proved that slavery is sirpeplipl with then, and justice nothing when it copep into conflict with slavery. I have never met a Southern gentleman who, in private oonversatior, did sot admit that the whole Kansas policy of Mr. Bochaoap, irwloiling his disapproval of the course of Governor Welker, and his fearful blunders of Leoompton and the English bill, ending with hfs persecution of independent Demo orats, was oejther more nor Jess than a great crime; and yet. with these admissions upon their lips, the Southern polltklaw have gone into the Benate and the House, and have pnt themselves boldly before the people, sot only supporting this policy, hut demanding instant judgment against, alt Democrats who did' not re* •oho the same sentiments. Another example might be quoted in the manner they approved and almost deified that unmitigated pirate. Walker, in his raid upon the people of Centra) Apiorfca, and his , butcheries of onr own citizens. Their refusal to indignantly frown down the Afrioan slave trade, and thafr notorious efforts practically : to reopen that Inhuman (regie, is another IdsUboo. These enormities, witnessed by the whole Ameri can people, must at least m a kp a faiet impression against the inetUntlpn of slavery. It cannot bo that even tbo Southern people th.em ßd Jvos will long shut their eyes ta it, when they perceive that this institution is to be maintained only by fraud and wrong, and that all men are to be excommunioated from political parties who do not pgfpe that it shall be so sustained. The result la tyeyiteblorrefyn the strongholds of the South, that which is clatyed toby backbone, will give way, and the whole system rush into Ir remediable rule The last evidence of this'rapidly- ( approaching catastrophe ip fcpnd In the, present position of the Democratic party Jn the Southern States. Wlfbout a single provocation to form tho sectional movement In favor of sreoklnrldge and Lane—without the semblanea of irregularity io the party from whioh the Southern politicians have defected, but with every argument of usage, of prin ciple, and of gratitude against them, the Southern States are being arrayed in solid column agalori the Democratic party of the free States, and all tbo politicians south ot Mason and Dixon’s line afe commanded to come forward and commit them* selves to this new act of wrong, or to be oitraoised forever from the favors of the Southern people ! The surrender of a number of the Southern leaders to these exaotioss ia in the last degree bo miliating. J hpya high respect for tho abilities of Mr. Roger A. Pryor, but when I-see this gentle* max, after being everywhere committed to the for* tunes of Btephen A. Douglas—after having con sulted with his friends, and stood up for him In the House of Representatives, yielding before the de mand of the Southern people, and giving his sup port to J#hn O. Breckinridge, l feel that that must indeed be neither ip,sr,e nor less than an unmitigated despotism whioh could induce a jpan of so much power and so much eloquence to give up his own oonvlctlons and his most intimate friend?. Take the case of Gideon J. Pillow, of Tennes see. Ho, like Mr. Pryor, had made tho warmest protestations of dovation to the fortunes of Judge Douglas, and yet he, t6o, gave way before the storm and left tho flag ot the gallant defepdor of Southern institutions, the Senator from Illinois. It Is flefd that Mr. Olingman, of North Oaroline, has aleo yielded UP Jndgo Douglas, whom he de fended so ably and so p#?;i.9jjately in the Senate only a few weeks ago. Look at the subject in another light. Observe the way In which Horsohel V. Johnson was treated by the people of Georgia, a fow days ago, because he ypon the same ticket with Doug las, and dared to fp.eak hi? thoughts. Witness the brutality exercised towards the friends of googles In Kentucky, in Alabama, in Mississippi, In Loui siana, and In Texas. Can the Southern people flatter themselves that this succession of wrongs, perpetrated In the name of slavery, will not make a lasting impression upon the people of/the free Slates? There U not a'Democrat who will read these lines, and will take up one after another the transgressions of the Southern Administration lead ers, In which I regret to say they have been but, tatned by the Southern masses, who will not say to himself that the institution which mult be maintain ed by such means does not deserve support any long What the Fire-king Does, erfrom the Democracy of the freo States. We have encountered defeat after defeat, for the purpose of protesting Southern men in their rights. We have contended against ItepabUoang and Abolitionists la defence of these rights; and now, at the very moment whan thi Northern masses bring I forward the man who has led them in this | cause, they behold the Southern States rallied bofdty under the banner of a sectional oandl* 1 , date,, and are at last convinced that if this ' movement shall eucooed, slavery, and the sap- ; port of slavery, will be the reigning element in the organisation of the present Democratic party. I forbear lifting the curtain that conceals the in* •triples of tho local politicians in'Washlngton who hara yielded np Judge Douglas at the demand of the Administration and the Secessionists. It is only another scene In a most discreditable drama. Men who know that Judge Dou glaft is true to the South, who admit that lie is the regular Democratic candidate, and who have watched his noble efforts in support of the Democratic party In the House and in the Senate, and whd, on tha other hand, do not deny that Mr. Breoklnrldge is the nominee of the enemies of the perty and o! the country, and that he is running a race without regularity and without principle, yot iai>bedienoe to what they call the Southern feel tog, they put themselves under bis 'flag and join bends with the persecutors of Jodgo Douglas I will pursue this unpleasant theme no farther.

Letter from New York* [Correspondence of The Press.] Nxw York, July 13, 1800. ' "The pirate Bloks died to-day, on Bedloe's island. The telegraph will have told yon the details of the denoufment of a terrible life-drama, and I need not dwell upon them. The marshal took speelal pains to pander to tho morbid taste of the million by executing the prisoner in publio, and the mil lion enjoyed the spectacle. Enterprising steam boat men advertised “ ploaaaro trips to tho execu tion,” and thousands went down the bay as ex enreioniets. The bay, seemed to swarm with hu man beings, and I certainly.thlnk that, since the day Jack Shoppard died on Tyburn tree, no man ever gave up tho ghost before such a multitude of fellow-men. The eoene was Impressive, sublime—and. but for the appalling associations of the moment, might have been called beautiful The broad and beau tiful bay, studded with vessels, and reflecting the rays of tho noonday sun; the surrounding scenery of the shore ; the busy murmurlog of tho distant olty; tho sloop E. A. Johnson, on which his crime was committed, lafcily rooking within sight of the •eene—ell combined- to nroduoe a pecullay and last - fog impression upon all who witnessed it His con fession will he published In a day or two. The Tribune furnishes a slice or two from it, enough to whot the appetite of tho horror-hungry. It roads very much like a sensition romanco or an English translation of a Frenoh novel. The journals ohronlole this morning two other attempts-at murder. A drunken follow named John Williams, residing at No. 120 Mott street, stabbed hit wife with a carviogknifo last night in the Abdomen, inflicting a wound from whioh it is believed she cannot recover. He has boon in the habit of abusing her in a shameful manner, and Mi abuse has at last culminated in this terrible crime. At a Into bonr lost night bo bad not been arrested. William Butler, keeper of a boarding house for seamen (n Park street, was stabbed, It Jo thought mortally, by bis brother James, a sailor, who ns* lately been pursuing a dissipated career. The only provocation for the assault was the refusal on tho part of the wounded man to furnish funds to his brother to bo squandered in a fresh debauch. To-day Is the last day of the encampment of tho Peventh Regiment at Camp Soott. A grand bat ehdmpetre will be given in the evening, followed by a display of fire-works, and the regiment will return to the pity to-morrow morning The rp9h ol yisUojs tq tho levfathan of the ooein continues to increase daily, and the parties In manegemoot folly aaknowlodgethejodioionsnefs of a redaction in the fare, Yesterday, no less than 6,084 persons went on board, the receipts, ex cluding a few free passes, amounting to over $3,000. Visitors from the country bare not yet arrived lu great numbers, but the arrangements which are in progress, for their transportation at cheap rates over the different linos of railway, will soon swell largely the aggregate of receipts. Ex cursion parties are forming as far west as Chicago, and as fsr south as Savannah. As predicted, gays the Herald, the difficulty be ' tween ex-Councllman Kerrigan. Alderman Oenet, and Mr. Ketchpm, has been finally settled, and both parties oap now walk the streets without fear nr trembling, Prom appearance of things on Wednesday, night, it was tboqght by many that the whole matter would end in ta|k, and we find that Kerrigan yesterday afte?nonn eonoluded to troable tbe Alderman no more. Kerrigan has been brought to take this step through the advice of Judge Brennan, with whom he is acting as saribner fo the s«exMarket Police Court. Genet's friends have also been hard at work to bring about a reconciliation between tbe two; but while Kerri* gan consents to permit the matter to drop, he re* fuses to have anything to do with the Alderman. Tbe Japanese visit, it is Ascertained, will cost tbe oi'y $lOO,OOO. Ooly $30,000 was originally ap propriated, and a supplemental appropriation of s7o,spo will therefore be necessary.

Y, Evening Pont of yesterday.l Some weeks ainoe, when ibis wretoh was first at treating pnblio attention, we paMiahed a statement made on tba authority of a gentleman connected with this office, who bad seen llioka, or Johnson, 00 the Pacific coast, end who bad identified blm In the city prison. We nllndod to some of his mur derous operations in that-, neighborhood. Several communications,jirobebly written by bis friends, were sent to the Evening P x ost } endeavoring to oast a doubt upon those statements; hut bis confession just published confirms our assertion then made, as Hicks now admit* that '! he wn9 for several years on the western shore of America, between California and CbiH. M There are somo other trans actions in whioh Hicks was engaged, not uentlonol in the confession, which It may be worth white to relate. One of them is as follows: A merchant re siding at Poita, Peru, familiarly known as (v Paddy Hines,’ 5 owned a vessel calloa the Union, which was sometimes employed In legitimate traffic, and at others In smuggling. The erew was generally changed on each trip, as many of theso “ be&oh oombers,’ 5 or sslt-water loafers, wouU merely ship to reach some one of the many porls ".long the coast, from Guayaquil to Valparaiso, at whioh the Union stopped. Jt need hardly be said that these men were generally of the worst class, for the most part deserters from the}Jngli*h and American ves sels (whalers and others), that happened to touoh at tbo cos'at for fresh provisions. ' ‘ ''' * At Arioa, on one of the smuggling exped! tions of Hines 5 vessel, nearly oil the orew deserted. The oaptalu, in order to oomp)ete his voyage, was foroed to engage such material as presented itself, and among the number that pppjfeijl fora berth was Johnson, since discovered to be Hick o - lie stated that he had been engaged in an affray at a “pul peree,” or low portor-house, in which he h ß d wounded, if. not killed, two “Oholabs.” or half breeds, and was anxious te get away. He was en gaged for the voyage to Guayaquil. At Paita. how ever, where the vessel stopped, the eiitoorJtlcH at tempted to arrest him, information baying peep sent of the ipurder. Hu?kp incited thp othef se&- ipen to resist the offioers, and a terrible scapq sued. After yainTy struggling, the would-be cap tors were driven from t|»e vessel, one of tbetp be ing thrown overboard and drowned, <>Rd the others having received several dangerous wounds. Before thß Union reached her destination, infor mation waa gained by the orew that the lever was raging Id Guayaquil, and that the Inhabitants were leaving the town in great consternation. To the appeal to return, the captain turned a deaf ear. What occurred further may not be fully known, but in lets thau two months afterwards ten Union was found beached at Albemarle, one of the Gxlli pages island?, deserted, with her dock! cohered with blood, tihe was reported by a New Bedford whaler, and aftor a while was returned to her own er. Bat the captain never made hie appearance. Tbeoonolasloais that he was murdered. Jt was some time after this affair that Johnson or Bloke was seen on the ooast. waa arrested on aoapleion of murder, and sent to tne Government urines at Ctno }’asco, to a lifo ldng penal servitude. He and, as we have before stated, shipped on the Sala din, at Valparaiso. These and other facts were known to a number of Amerioana residing at that time in Callao and Lima, as wall as on nearly every veseet that visited tbe Peruvian or Chilian ports. Bach affairs as these, and others which we might relate, would seem to oonflrm the atrocities heaped together in his sanguinary narrative. His name, we know, was a terror over tbe whole ooast, end on one occasion, when ho wished to ship on the United States storeahlp Supply, the officers, under standing his oharaoter, refused to receive him.

In your calculation of the probable complexion of the United Btates Senate after the 4th of Mareh, 1861, you made two blunders.

You alio olass Sritrnp.M A. Douglas bb an Administration Democrat, which is most unjust to that dis tinguished gentleman. Dodqla* may not vote with the Republicans in tbe new Senate, should he fail of an election to the Presidency; bnt Uis beyend doubt he will not co-operate with his Southern assailants. Should the Republicans triumph in November, and conduot the next Admin istration on a liberal conservative basis, giving everything to tho South that the South may reason ably expect, then, in all probability, (he American elected from the Southern States in favor of the Administratlonists would undoubtedly co-operate with the Republicans. Washington, July 13.—1 t was recently stated, in a despatch from New Orleans, that a revenue cutter had gone to overhaul the schooner J. B. Tay lor, which sailed from that port for Central Amori oa, with “ emigrants,” or filibusters Formorethan two months past it has been known that several small parties of suob adventurers have repaired thither, but these movements aro here considered too insignificant for serious comment. As the old Jackson Democratic Association was lately thoroughly disrupted by the contending Douglas and Breoklnridgo members each wing has takon preliminary steps to establish a cam paign olub, the one altogether Independent of the other. A petition has been numerously signed, present* el to the President, and by him transferred to the Secretary of War. praying for an immediate re* sumption of the work on the Washington aque duct. It will be recollected that Congress appro priated half & million of dollars for this purpose, to bo expended undor the superintendence of Capt. Meigs. This proviso has somewhat embarrassed tho Administration; bnt there seemß to be no doubt, apart from tho question which the designa tion of tnat officer involves, that tbe operations on (he aquednot will shortly be resumed.

The said warrants appear to have no reoeipt or endorsement ehowmg them to have been paid, and the court says: "The treasurer, who is admitted to fiAve been a vigilant and faithful officer, seems to have been equally deoeived in regard to the matter as the defendants themselves. Theoourtdecided: “ The bonds issued under the cironmstanoes areun qneationablj negotiable instruments, and binding upon th*3ta*e. in the hands or innocent assignees.

New Boililing Improvement., It ia impossible to have any accurate Idea of tha con •tout growth end changes going os ie the outskirts of onr metropolis, without making at least oe* annual elr emtto the multiterm japroreoMats whichertry sea son is adding toils built up portions. In th* northern Bu*l northwestern sections of the city ths rplm of p*o grr«H and chases has been esp*eially actir*. No less than three hundred building permit* have already been issued this sesson f.w the dtArnt formerly knows as Bosh Hill. The grand improvements recently mad* by th* City lath* vicinity of Fsicmoant, th* numerous and convenient railway communieations with our busi ness cenries. no less than its beautiful and salsbrions situation, hav* mads this quarter-the vicinity of Twenty-second and Green streets,and several bloc'* in either direction-th* most coveted location foi dwell ioga within the limits of our city. A few hour* spent in this vicinity in a pleasant tour .of observation, yesterday, coavinoed us more tolly or fie truth of what w* have her* stated.

On the #»nlh Bid* of Green, cm the most beautiful part of the Fairmount slope, a fins row, building by J. L. Haines, Fsq.,i a rapidly appTosehtog completion. The bouses are of presMd brick, with fio* ornate marble front*, oval d*or-tops, and .applied l n the most complete manner with all the modem improve ments. A neat and admirably built tow of three-story dwell mg hoosce is also cesrly completed, on Brandy«( ce street, west cf Twentieth.

Th* thr*e gentlemen fame named, by the way, Messrs. Haines. Miller, and Vanhorn, hare contributed largely, by their enterprise and liberal ty, to improve this part of Philadelphia; and the uniform care they have taken (o erect non* but first-eiass struc tures, supplied with all th# latest convenience*.cannot be too highly There Is. ia foot, an *it tf comfort attaching to the boosts m (to locality-open as it is to the pure air as it sweeps in fresh, and filtered, from t he banks of the gcbujikjil-that mtks* the other wise universal necessity of a summer jaunt to the country a secondary consideration. We sdmired the excellent facilities for cooking and heating with whirh they are supplied, every one of the rows specified, and a number of other* in tint vicinity being snpplied with Mr. Jamee Spear'* celebrated patent Ota-burning Cooking Ranges—a range wh'ch, en pmssamt, w* may say, has so eiTsctsally won its way into popular favor by its excellent qualities that public sentiment is rapidly eons palling their general introduction. We ar*r leased to see this important feature in building dwrlbng bousea, which has been too long neglected, beginning to receive the attention at the hands of intelligent bofldera that the age demands; and we hope,now that tb* reform has commenced, to see every new honse built in Philadelphia supplied with as A No. 1 oooking apparatus. Those In the bourn above sbeded to we are sura will treat!- enhance their desirableness to occupants, and it is fitting that a region so auspi cously located,(a beautiful view ov*r the satire oJty being had from xnoft of the chamber window*.) ard with an utter freedom from lines, alley*, and courts, whioh are au eyesore to many otters, should bf 'notonly embellished with the most beautiful dwelling-house*, but also supplied with th* foremost internal improve ments of the age in every department.
