The returns of a great plection alwayq.OPo
rate as a tranquilizer upon -the public mind.
It is a characteristic of the American people,
and may be called one 'main secret of their
prosperity and unity . , that the decree of the
ballot-box with them is altuest the decree of
fate. The rampant partisan subsides into
silence or obscurity befbre a majority adverse
to hie views, - and the victorious leader, in the
midst of his exultation; becomes magnanimous
and tolerant `{o his . defeated fellow citizens.
Take the most recent'and familiar case—that
of the result of the Pennsylvania , election.
The New York Het aid, which has been steadily
conducted; for months' past, upon the ground
that any such result would be the commence
ment of a great national bankruptcy, and must
end in the.secession of a number of Southern
states, yesterday, in its money article, speaks
in the following mild and gentle language,
showing, conclusively, that the expected
shock httia not come, and that the verdict of
the People of Pennsylvania, sq.far from being
regarded as a demonstration against the in
terests of the South, or as a provocation to
financial trouble, has been relived every
where,' in the same spirit that hatiheretoiore
grqeted every honest and fair election in this
country:
"Both the bulb and the bears were disappointed
with the stock market this - morning The bulls
believed it would be a good time to buy. stooks ;
the bears expected a serious fall on the Republican
triumph in Pennsylvania. In ftiot, the market was
simply dull at a very small donne. There were
sellers of all the speculative stooks at yesterday's
vrioes, both for Casa and on time, but there were
also buyers enough to prevent prince falling to any
oaterL .Thus far, it is evident that the holders of
stooks have not been frightened by the result in
Pennsylvania; what the future may bring forth
no man can tell. Real estate, which would be the
first interest to feel any general destruokive ageroy,
and.whieh would probably suffer more and longer
than any, other kind of property, is also quite as

a heavy business this morning in Central, Erie.
and the leading Western sharei. Central sold

And in order to show what Bmisurr him
self Thinks In his editorial column, after an.
nonncing the certain election of Liacoia, ho
says, in his paper of yesterday:
"From= such a state of internal affairs In the tri
umphant party we may not expect any very active
prosecution of its supposed alma. It the conserva-
tive elements conduct their opposition to the Lin.
coin Administration with anything like common
sense, the interests of the South, and of every other
section, can be protected much better within than
without the Union As the Senate now stands.
no great Aorta can tome to any interest througg
a Black Republican President: It is only from
the folly of its own leaders that danger can come
to it; and it may thank these for any presumed
danger it may anticipate in Lincoln's election.
What danger was imminent when the Alabama
Legislature passed the resolutions instructing the
delegates at Charleston to secede in a certain
event? What peril might not have been avoided
had Mr. Yancey remained in his seat in the Con
vention, and fought the battlo of the South in alli
ance with its Northern friends? Here we have
the true and only danger in Lincoln's election;
and ib is the South that must look those eventuali
ties in the face and meet them, but not by running
air?, from them."
Who would believe that the author of this
language, only a few days ago, sought to alarm
the great commercial interest, and, in order to
terrify honest Northern men having business
.interests in. the South, threatened that the
:election of LINCOLN would bo a death-blow to
-trade and the signal for a large and immediate
Southern secession irom the Union But such
is Bamixxi, of the Herald, and such the value
to be placed upon all his predictions.
Nor do we believe that any man elected to
the Presidency of the United States in No.
veniber, particnlarly with the example before
him of President BUCHANAN, who tried to
convert his Administration into a mere sec-
tional concern, and failed to his own disgrace
and the disgrace, of his country, will attempt
to carry out any extreme policy upon the
slavery question. There might bo an excep
tion to this in the triumph of the Secession
ists—who, with the Government in their
hands, would probably essay to imitate, on a
grander scale, the Unfortunate policy of the
present Administration. Even Mr. BaEcK.ia
amoE would hesitate when called upon to ful
fil the dangerous theories of his present sup
porters. But a Northern man who goes to
Washington to discharge the duties of Chief
Magistrate, will take up his residence in the
midst of a slavoholding community, flanked on
each side by slave States. We care not what
his promises may have been bbfore his elec
tion, be will be forced to yield to circumstances,
and to recognize - his whole country ; and if
the ballots to be emit on the first Tuesday in
NOvember shall decide in favor of liar.
Lutecros,• we venture the prediction, as
we indulge, the hope, that he will
throw behind him, if be desires a prosperous
Administration, the counsels of all revolu
tionary spirits, and plant himself firmly upon
the compromises of the Constitution, recog
nizing all sections of the country, and hailing
all Ameridans °sequoia. Mr. Boon.taari de
serted his pledges in order to destroy his party,
and succeeded in destroying himself, and Mr.
Lulcots, acting upon a different theory, will
no doubt insist that the Republican organiza
tient/ever intended to make war upon the in
stitutions of the South. He will be ambitious
to establish a conservative and Union-loving
Administration. The North American, tvhich
may now be called the leading Republican
organ, in this State, anticipates the certain
election of Mr. Imicomr, and yesterday an
nounces the probable . policy of Mr. LINCOLN
as ft. Rows :
" Pennsylvania holds her principles on this sub
ject, which she will - bot surrender at any bidding,
or under any threats. Bat She is as true to the
South as she is faithful to herself, knowing that
both enjoy common rights under the Constitution,
end that the prosperity of each is dependent upon
their protection and maintenance. She Acme to
abolish slavery bonus. it is her privilege and her
conviction; but she concedes the same privilege
and conviction to South Carolina as to the exist
onoe of - slavery, and asserts no right to interfere
with it in any shape or form or under any circum
stances whatever- They h ave lived together in
fraternity since the Constitution was formed, and
fought for it in the Revolution. We see no conflict
between them, except that difference of institu
tions created by an overruling Power, which ie,
doubtless, wisely ordered, and with which we are
tot disposed to interfere.
w And this is the doctrine of the party with
which we set, and we assume to say of the great
mass of the Northern people, irrespective of party.
Demagogues and politicians may represent diffe
rently, but they only reflect their own views and
wishes. More than that. it is the principle of the
Chicago platform, in spirit and in letter, as it is of
Mr. Lincoln, whose whole life is consistent with it
in practice, as well as pri..fession. There are ultra
and radical men, it Is true, of a certain position,
who have presented theories and urged dogmas of
their own, which are seised upon and forced on us
Se our creed and articles of faith. We neither ac
cept nor approve them. No man, however dia•
tinguished be may be, Js privileged to interpolate
our platform, or to make us responsible for his
opinions. If he supports our candidate, he must
support him on the principles which he really ro
presents and no other Mr Lincoln met this
very point in his debate with Judge Douglas in
1358, when he said ' what 10 the reason Judge
Dough is not willing I should stand upon that
platform [that passed in IllinoIsj? Wby must be
-go around bunting for some one who is supporting
. mo , or has supported me at some time in his life,
and who has said something at some time contrary
to that platform?'
" And so say we. If the Chicago platform or Mr.
Lincoln's record is offensive, then there is cause
of complaint ; but we protest against this unfair
system of fabricating sentiments for him or us, to
which we are in no way committed, and do not Buh
-1 aoribe., It would be easy enough to retaliate, by
holding the South responsible for the vagaries of
the Nashville Convention, of Mr. Rbett, of Mr.
S
Yancey, of Mr. R.'. and of the filibusters who
have organised armed invasions against Cuba and
Central Aviaries, or of the pirates who have landed
and sold native Africana in Georgia, Terse, and
other States. But that sort of argument would be Un
just to a people whom, ass mass, we believe hostile .
to these outrages of law and vielences of opinion.
Renee, we forbear to fling back such accusations,
when the lit rth is unjustly assailed. It is high
time that both sections stopped such recrimination,
and mime to the conclusion that they were about
equal in
_p_atdotism, as they are in all other re
spects. We intend to take possession of the Go
vernment next March, and to administer it na
tionally and liberally; and what is more, we
mean to have the assistance of able, wise, and good
men from the South in the Cabinet and elsewhere,
llikthat no partiality shall be exhibited. And be
fore sixty days there will be plenty of them to be
round, if the ,fire-eaters insist upon trying their
strength at hems. The South will take oars of
them, without other aid, mad we hope to see them
turned over to that tribunal only."
And an , ends all this talk about the break
.l4 - .up of the - commercial system, and the
,overthress of the Aniefican Union.

, The result of-;the Gubernatorial election in
dabionetrateamore conclusively the
folly
of any attempt to unite the anti4Linceln
organizations; composed respectively of the
friends of Donuaks, BELL, and BREORINRIDUE,
upon a common joint-stock electoral ticket,
than any comments wo can make. There was
a more complete and cordial fusion in favor of
Gem. FOSTER than can be expected for any
mongrel Presidential combination, yet ho was
defeated by a much larger and more decisive
majority than Pennsylvania has ever given;
since the, days of JeOrrsos, against any State
candidate in the October elections which have
preceded Presidential contests. The election
or a Republican President would have been
almost a political impossibility if the seceders
from the Baltimore and Charleston Conven
tions bad acquiesced in the clearly-expressed
preference of an immense majority of the De
mocrats of the nation for STEPREN A: DOUGLAS
as,their Presidential candidate, and ff, instead
of putting in the field against him, in all the
Southern and most of the Northern States,
electoral tickets pledged to oppose him, and
in Pennsylyania, New YOrk, and New Jersey
insisting upon a Breckinridge representation
upon the regular Democratic electoral tickets,
they had assisted to make an old-fashioned
Democratic. fight for the regular nominee of
the Democratic National Convention. But
they spurned the only political authority
which bad for the last quarter of a century
been recognized as potential and authoritative
by the Democracy of the country, and while
pretending to . act as the peculiar, exclusive,
and devoted friends of the South, they have
done all in their power to break down and de
stroy the only organization which' could:pos.
sibly have interposed an effective barrier to
Republican ascendency—the Democracy of
the North. T hey have assumed the responsi
bility of destroying the effectual and powerful
node of securing united and harmonious ac
tion among the legions of the Democracy which
has hitherto secured their triumph in many a
well-contested struggle—they have severed
the silver cord and broken the golden bowl of
Democratic unity and power—they have
opened up the path of victory to CURTIN in
Pennsylvania, and to the Republican candi
dates in New England and the Great North
west—they have disorganized and demoral
ized the great Democratic army, driving away
from its ranks thousands of men who were
disgusted.by their proscriptions, their treache
ries, their frauds and corruptions, their tyran
nies and follies—and when they prate to us of
fusion, they but add insult to injury, and de
stroy the last vestige of respect which any
rational being should have for their indefensi
ble position, because they thereby evince their
readiness to temporarily surrender the only
principle—that of forcing slavery upon the
people of the Territories against their tail/
which they'claim to represent.
It is contrary to the genius of the Democra
tic party to form in great Presidential contests
corrupt combinations with adverse parties. It
owes none of its numerous triumphs to such
means. Frankly declaring its principles, it
cordially invites all who approve of them to
vote for its candidates, and to thus aid in
placing it in power; but for those who are
antagonists of its doctrines and its nominees,
it has known but one language—that of politi
cal defiance. It has relied for success not
upon the huckstering schemes of a few self
constituted leaders, but upon the broad ground
that it was the champion and representative
of the true interests of the American people,
and that with their'quick discernment, their
practical appreciation of that fact was merely
a question of time ; so that, oven if it was
temporarily overthrown, the "sober, second
thought" of the voters of this country would
restore it to power. It has assailed the vari
ous parties which in turn have risen to oppose
it with perhaps more bitterness 'for their con.
binations than for any other cause ; and if it
had imitated their example, by evincing, when
in a temporary minority, a morbid anxiety to
bargain with detached divisions of its outage.
nista, and to sacrifice principle upon the
shrine of expediency, its ashes would long
since have been quietly mouldering away in a
political cemetery. There was a fusion
between BURR and the Federalists of
his day against JzrrEnson. What did
the Democrats think of it? There was a
fusion in 1824 between the friends of ADARs
and CLAY, which resulted in the election of
the former, and the defeat of JAcnsmr; and,
without recalling any bitter reminiscences, it is
sufficient to say that the Democratic party
continued for many years to denounce that
combination in the most violent terms. In
1882, attempts were made in different States
to form fusion-electoral tickets in support of
the anti-Masonic and National Republican
candidates, but they encountered such a storm
of Democratic opposition and ridicule that
they were overwhelmingly defeated by the
people. Even so late as 1856, our readers
will well remember how earnestly the Oppo
sition fusion project of that year, in support of
Fanueurr and FILLMORE, was denounced by the
Democracy of the State as a juggling and un
principled coalition.
No union can be more unnatural than a co
operation of the friends of DOUGLAS and
BRECKINAIDOE in this State in support of a
juint•electoral ticket. A clear, broad, well•
defined issue , has been made by the latter
against the former, and the proper place to
meet it is at the 'great American political tri
bunal, the ballot-box. The only offence of the
friends of Dolmas is that they have adhered
to the time-honored faith of their party, and
secured from the National Convention an en
dorsement of their principles and their candi
date ; yet on this account they have had insults,
indignities, scorn, and contempt hurled upon
them by the friends of the Secession nominee.
They cannot honorably unite with politicians
who, by their mere recognition of BIIECKIN
RIDGE as a candidate, necessarily deny the
soundness of the principles to which DOUGLAS
is pledged, and impugn the veracity of his
friends in claiming that he is' the nominee.
DOUGLAS represents the doctrine of non-inter
vention in regard to slavery in the Territories,
while BitiroxmainoE is the supporter of-in
tervention to protect slavery there. If the
principle is an unimportant ono, then there is
no shadow of an excuse for DIVECILIMUDGE
being a candidate at all; but if it is, as
we believe, an important ono, the view
which DOUGLAS has taken of the subject
should be faithfully and zealously maintained
by every man who has adopted it. Besides,
every Disunionist in the South is a supporter
of BREOKINIUDOE, and opposes DOUGLAS be
cause he believes the policy of the latter would
insure the preservation of the Union, while a
stubborn and determined adherence to the de
mands of the former will probably furnish a
pretext for its destruction. Since they have,
in spite of repeated warnings, made this issue,
it is the duty of the friends of the Union, in
the Democratic party, to meet it squarely, and
to • indicate by their votes precisely what
position they occupy.
There is a straight Douglas ticket in the
field in Pennsylvania, and Judge DOUGLAS
will unquestionably receive a much larger
number of votes in November from the Ame
rican people than any other candidate, except
Mr. LINCOLN. All who wish to make the de
feat of the latter their chief object in this
contest, therefore, have their true policy
clearly indicated. It is to support the only
candidate who, by any possibility, can become
a formidable rival, before the people, of the
Republican nominee. If Dolmas_ is defeat
ed, the treachery of the Administration and
the cohorts affiliated with it will accomplish
that result. If their repentance has already
commenced, they have only to retrace their
erring footsteps, and to fall into line in the
rear of the Democratic army. It is no part of
the business of the friends of DODGZAS to
parley and negotiate, or trade and bargain
with those who have, up to this time, dono all
in their power to undermine his strength, and
to defeat him. They cannot with propriety
make any terms or fusions with his most dan
gerous enemies; but, relying upon the justice
of their cause, they can only appeal for sup
port to the masses, who control their own
votes, and not to the paltry hucksters who
make themselves ridiculous by their ed'orts to
barter away American suffrages, as if our
political organizations were composed of
Hessians, and Chairmen of Committees were
princes authorized to sell them.

THE PREW-PFULADELPI-HA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1860.
Lamoritnore and Garibaldt.
LABWRICIRRE, who surrendered himself a
Prisoner of war to the Sardinians at Ancona,
seems to have been dreadfully deceived by the
Pope or his Ministers. On July 10, previous
to GARIBALDI'S astonishing successes, a letter
was written from Rome, from which we aro
allowed to make the following extract: if Gon.
LASIORIDIERE is in do pair. Ho has lost all
hope and confidence in his mission. Not long
ago ho confidently wrote to one of his friends :
k I have been cheated and infamously
inl
posed upon concerning the condition of the
Papal Government. I was told I would find
a tolerably organized army ; that I should not
lack any means for completing the organiza
tion; that the necessary funds would be at my
disposal ; that the whole population, being
entirely and devotedly attached to the Govern
ment, would spontaneously support all my
measures. I have found just the reverse of
all that. The army is in utter disorganization,
without drill or subordination. lam deprived
of all means of organizing and completing. it.
They tremble at the necessity of the smallest
expenditure, and the whole popuhrtion hates
and despises the Government of his Holiness.
In this state of things, notwithstanding my
best will, my mission is a failure.' By this
time, the General has palpable proofs of his
foresight and perspicacity."
The same correspondence mentions the fol
lowing about GARIBALDI: " There is among
the Neapolitan officers n . copy of a short
speech lately made by Gi.arnexpr. Ho said,
r Gentlemen, we want to form an army of
200,000 men. I esteem and like volunteers,
but always prefer to, make a colonel from an
experienced and patriotic captain rather than
from a lawyer; I prefer to advance a sergeant
to a commend of a company rather than a
doctor. If you are royalists, lam a royalist,
too; but, a King for a King. I prefer 'Via-
TOIL EXIMANIIIIL, who Will lead us all against
the Austrians, to FRANCIS &mron, who
makes Italians fight against Italians. Gentle.
men, you have to choose. We shall conquer
without you, but I would be happy to con.
quer with you.' "
How the Galled Judo Winces!
In the New York Herald of yesterday, wo
find the following exquisite morceate
"In this country the Prince has been everywhere
received with equal, if not greater, respect and cor
diality of feeling. This has been due as much to
his own simple and unaffected bearing as to the
high opinion which is generally entertained here
of his excellent and sensible mother. So far, with
a single exception, there has been nothing to Impair
'the satisfactory 'character of hie visit amongst us
Need we say that it h,ts been relerved for -Phila
delphia, which disgraced itself by its rude and in
hospitable treatment of the Japanese Princes, to
furnish that exception? The more respectable por
tion of the Philadelphia people, as represented, by
their ball committee, exerted themselves to the ut
most,to sustain the credit of their city on this oc
casion; but their efforts have been marred by the
vulgar and blackguard attacks made by the local
press on persons who had received invitations to
the ball."
Mr. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, it Seems, can
not tell the truth oven of himself. In the first
place, it was Now York, and not Philadel
phia, which behaved so badly towards the Ja
panese. Secondly, there was no ball given in
Philadelphia. to the Prince of Wales, but a
splendid operatic performance at the Acade
my of Music—consequently there was no ,‘ ball
committee." Thirdly, there were not any
"invitations to the ball." Lastly, when the
Herald announced that among the distinguished
persons invited to the Opera were Mr. and
Mrs. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, who had ace.
cepted the invitation, and would occupy Pro
scenium box No. I, the Committee of Manage
ment felt compelled to publish a card denying
that they had invited those persons, and stating
the plain fact that it was Mr. ULLMAN, not
they, who had asked the BENNETTS, and re
served the best box in the house for them.
Alter all, Mr. Um.man's ‘f distinguished "
friends did not attend, and the box so special
ly reserved for them was occupied by other
persons.
JOHN BRODHEAD'S canvass as the Democratle
candidate in the Ild Congressional district
does him great credit. Nominated as %mode
rate Breckinridge man, the Breckinridge Mad
era tried to withdraw him from the field, in
order, as they sagely supposed, to assist Gen.
FOSTER to certain American 'votes. The Dou
glas Democracy, having made lip their minds
to convince the custom bonso and its adhe
rents of their liberality, stood ready to vote
for BRODHEAD; and, when he determined to
ataxia, rolled up a united column in his babel!.
Owing to the trafficking of the little party lead
era, ho was for two weeks withdrawn from the
active duties of the canvass, and therefore de
prived of a chance to meet his fellow-citizens.
Had he given way, Mounts would have besten
FULLER terribly; and Fospsn, for every Ame
rican vote gained, would have lost ten Deno
erotic ones. JOHN BRODHEAD may look tpon
the vote thrown in his behalf on Tuesday
last as among his most pleasing recollectons.
He was true to himself, and the old-faahimed
Democracy were 'true to him. We hope they
will not forget him.
Letter from "Kappa."
{Correspondence of The Press.]
The election in Indiana gives secret satisfaction
to the Administration and its followers. Bright
and Fitch have kept their word, and the Boogies
State ticket has been defeated. Every Theekin
ridge vote in the State has been thrown &sand
Hendricks ; for Bright and Pitch were ifrall that
it the Democratic btete ticket should be eboted,
it would not be in their power to prevent thefitate,
in November, from going for Douglas. Xobody
will say that any Douglas roan has voted against
Ilendrioke. Where are, therefore, the lepubli
can gains to come from if not from the Sreekin
ridge men? Gen. Lane, of Oregon, aid Gen.
Jim Lane, of Kansas, have been workbg hand
in-hand in Indiana and elsewhere, for Mu and the
same purpose—to defeat Douglas and hiefriende.
Of the four railliens of documents, rpm:thee,
and pamphlets, sent out during the present
campaign by the National Stooktnridle Com
mittee in this oily, 3,050 000 have beet against
Douglas. They have virtually overllndod the
country with anti Douglas speeches, waist they
have done nothing against the Itepubleans, se
cretly supporting the same wherever they thought
neomary. The Breckinridge newspapes, instead
of fighting the Republicans, have been sonstantly
occupied in slandering, attacking, ant vilifying
8 A. Douglas. If any one of the ?emooratio
office-holders has dared to advocate thipatermita of
the regular Democracy, and its stailard-bearer
Douglas, Mr. Buchanan has placed his lead imme
diately under the guillotine. Thus demoralized,
weakened, and betrayed, is It a wended(' Douglas
and his friends in Indiana have been d related ?
Tho Administration leaders are bwardly, re
jotoing at the defeat of the Douglas tkket e
Western States. They had nothing titain,:bl its
being successful ; on the Contrary, its! iefeat ena
bles them now to pitch more several: into Mr.
Douglas, using it as a proof of hie weekioss in the
North. If you hear a Brookinrldget; alk to-day
en the street, he will certainly tell yOuttiat all the
votes oast for Fester are Breekinridgi votes, and
that all the Douglas men voted againsthire, whilst
it is well known that the whole Seeedxs' party in
your State does not contain five thousnd votes.
The Democratic party being thus iemoralized i
it is beyond doubt that Bell and Everitt will carry
three•fourthe of the Souther i Stat 6. If the once
great Demooratic party succeeds in cerying, next
November, six out of thirty-three Sates, North
and South, it will be more than forunate. kir.
Buchanan has fulfilled his mission : he Le destroyed
that party that placed him into the ighest office
on earth.
The movement of Mr. Welsh in yur State, as
announced by telegraph, gives colialdrable unea•
siness to tho friends of Judge Dougle. They ex•
pot that stops will on be taken toplaco a pure
Douglas electoral ticket in the field Mr. Welsh

est foundation for the statement, widely published,
that Capt. Jarvis interfered in the effsir which
took place some weeks ego between the captain of
the Spanish brig Berenguela and the Juarez Go
vernment. Nor did Captain Jarvis send a note to
the Spanish commodore condemning his oou ran, or
not in any other disapproving manner. The rela
tions between these two officers were of the most
cordial character, without reference to political
questions, and Major Ancerrage, when coming to
New Orleans on board the Pocahontas, was so gal
lantly treated that he expressed himself in the
most complimentary terms toward the officers
of our navy. It is farther reliably ascer
tained that the action of the Spanish ammo
dore was suspended, and the squadron withd rawn
to Ravens, in consequence of the pressing repro.
sentations of the Spanish subjects in Vera Cruz,
through the French consul, acting as the Spanish
maul, to the Captain General of Cuba. A bom
bardment, they stated, would not only destroy
much of their property, but peril their lives. No
further hostile demonstration will be made in the
absence of advises from Madrid.
' It is also known that the commander of our
Gulf squadron is not left to his own discretion, but
he will set under the advice of Minister McLane,
in the event of a bombardment of Vera Cruz, and
extend all possible protection to American persons
and property, including the landing of marines at
Vera Cruz for that purpose.'

when the extension to Fort Kearney is completed,
as it wilt be this month, a large increase of patron
age wilt ensue. The company has decided to
build at least two hundred miles west of Fort
Kearney next year, and will commence as soon in
the spring as the weather will permit . Should

completely outstripped the steam cutter.
During the trip the Prince spent much time on
deck, and had a good view of rho harbor. Ms
horses were in readiness at Castle Garden where
the landing took place. This was also the scene
of the official reception by Mayor Wood and the
City Councils. At about three o'olook the Prince

GBANDOM INSTIMII.-1n 1847 a brnevo
lent Institution, with the above title, was formed
in Philadelphia. The object Hiatt Grandom, its
founder, had in view was to lay the foundation of
a fund, from which the young men of our" city
might obtain means to commence business. His
feeling appears to have been similar to that of
Franklin, who bequeathed the attm of one thousand
pounds to the Councils of our city for a like pur
pose. Boventyfive persons have been assisted by this
feed. and fortytwo now enjoy its advantages. Five
hundred dollars is the extent of a loan; personal
or property security must be given ; no loan to be
for a longer period than five years, and one hun
dred dollars must be returned per annum. A
charity fond is connected with the Institute, which
has been lately augmented by a bequest of $l,OOO
from Jasper Cope. The full charity fund is
$31,180 50 The full loan fund is $44,337.41.
The Institute, in the latest report, which new lies
before us, appeals to the wealthy for aid. John
M. Ogden is the president, and 11. 0. Townsend
secretary and treasurer.

THE PRIS.TOI 01 WALES
DEPARTURE FROM PHILADELPZELA
The Prince returned from the . opera on Wednes
day night in good spirits, but somewhat fatigued.
Ile partook of some wine and substantial refresh
ment, and retired to rest in his usual genial humor.
At f/ o'clock yesterday morning ho was awake and
dressed,. Ile penned, with his own hands, an epistle
to his Mother, detailing the prokress'of his jour
ney. We are informed that the letter was heavy,
and that his Highness was engaged two hours in
its composition. He has written home repeatedly
since his arrival in this country, and has, we be
lieve, received abundant returns in the shape of
consolations in the Qaeen-mother's own hand
writing.
These pleasant testimonials to the domestic at
tachments of the boy give a halo of feeling to his
dignity. Ho has kept a private journal and diary
of hid adventures in all. the cities of British
America and the United States. Glimpses from
this have been circulated in this city, and the
young Baron's views of this city are said to be nar
rated in the most graphic, style and moat en
thusiastic tone.
THE PRINCE LORIS MS =ART
Vague stories have been told of the young
Baron's attachments in this country. The latest of
Ulnae finds its scene in this oily, Vi'hy-tbe Prince
moved from his magnificentquarters in tlib private
box to the balcony centre wan not understood. It
waif, in fact, speculated upon to a considerable ex
tent as a singular and somewhat erratic weim. It
is now said that there was a lady in the ease, and
as follows
Miss S., superbly attired; and very beautiful,
had taken a balcony seat not far distant from the
centre of the tier. When Albert Edward came in,
she was the first to rise to the thrill of Patti in
" God' save' the Queen," and seemly had the
chorus sank and the curtain fell, before her glees
was levelled at hie young highnest. So continued,
indeed ,wore her attentions that the Prince was at.
traoted, and to be attracted toward Miss 19. was to
be infatuated. Thenceforth, in every' Paulo of
Martha, the Prince's glass was levelled at Miss S.
The Duke of Newcastle, to whom such frailties on
Albert Edward's part have become things of ordi
nary occurrence, stiggested that seats had been
provided for the royal party in the centre of the
tier. Then, at Albert Edward's request,lhe Doke
argi suite removed. It is said that the Prince vi
sited Miss S. on the night in question, at the ingl
teflon of her father, a leading citizen. It is more
over said that Mr. and Miss G. are the only Phila
delphians beyond the Mayor who have been ha
nored by the royal grasp', and that, after a delight- -
ful half hour passed in the lady's oompanr the
Prince left with her a jewelled locket, end express
ed his choicest terms of admiration. Is this all fie
tion? Bo wo have heard the tale.
THE PRINCE LEAVES PHILADELPHIA.
Between'eight and nine o'clock, the pavement of
the Continental Hotel was thronged with men.
Most of The throng were very respectable people,
and waited quietly for the departure of the royal
party. Among them were several hundred school
girls, on the way to their daily tasks, but who
were unable to pass the chorused spot,-albeit nine
o'clock had arrived, and the terrors of being late
st school, and getting bad marks therefor, stared
them in the face. Their merry faces,were much
more agreeable to look at than the most of the
.visages reporters come In contact with In crowds.
As the Ninth-street door appeared.to be the; one
from which the Prince would emerge into the sight
of the people, the pollee, and moat of the irowd,
wore stationed along that thoroughfare. A few
minutes before nine o'clock, Mayor Henry was
driven up Ninth street, in a handsome open oat
liege, which subsequeetly passed around to the
Chestnut-street front. Two large baggage , wagons
then backed up to the Ninth-street door, and were
loaded with an immense quantity of baggage, com
prising, we should think, seventy pieces, trunks,
valises, bat-boxes, &a. The process of loading up
was superintended by two or three of the most
thoroughly English-looking serving men ever seen
out of - Theekeray's or Dlekens' booker, and.they
pursued their occupation, calmly and phlegmatl.
sally, in spite of the crowd of spectators, who, by
this time, numbered over a thousand. The specta
tors viewed the loading process with impatience,
for it was more slowly accomplished than our
" baggage-smashing" way (if tumbling trunks into
a vehicle A pause of expeetation next ensued,
during which the school girls were doubtless torn
by conflicting desires, impelling them schoolwards
and retaining them here where they could see the
Albert Edward of their dreams.
All this time, however. schemes were afoot mi
litating against the views of the Ninth-street
Crowd ; for while a diversicin was -Made so as to
convey the impression that the Prince would donee
Out by Ninth street, be was taking his place in
the open barottehe with the mayor from the Chest
nut-street exit. As he appeared' on hest,*
street, the crowd, not so great' in number as on
Ninth greet, set up hearty cheers, and, in a gash,
everybffy poured around from Ninth street, feel
ing unutterably "sold." The carriage with the
Prince was driven down Chestnut street a square
or two, and then turned into Walnut street, down
which it proceeded to the Wharf. r The gentlemen
of tae auto took their places' in carriages Rated
dlatoly after, and the rerrlnetakh *era xepdsee
of in the huge stages belonging to the hotel. The
party arrived at the wharf-a few minutes after,
hawing attracted great attention along thettreet,
and being followed by a great crowd of people.
THE DEPARTURE PRO. 4E PHILADELPHIA
The annonecemeat that thedistingabbid travel
lers were to leave the city at, nine o'clock induced
many persons to believe that they would -go-by
the regular line. The eoneequenott teasiliat many
people suddenly discovered that therhad -business
in New York. and a grand rush of ladies and
gentlemen took place for Walnut-atreat wharf.
The termer wore their most elegant girmentsi and
they looked most smilingly ,as, they anticipated ,
the pleasure 'with which they would hand the
beautiful bouquets they caroled in their hands to
the royal stranger. Bat •they were doomed to be
disappointed; for at nine o clock the steamboat
Washington, with the regular passengers, cast off
her fasteninge. and the disaminted sight-seers
were retried off to Gotham, without any royal, or
even noble, personages on hoard.
For some time before nine o'clock Walnut-street
wharf was thronged- by'a curious multitude, who
eagerly sought the most advantageous places from
vthioh to gaze at the expected party. The railroad
company's slip was thronged, ladies working their
way inside the ropes, men mounting upon the rails
around the slip, and boys scaling sheds and get
ting upon impossible places on the heads of poets.
The steamboat State Rights came in,at the slip va
cated by the Washington, and her numerous hand
some flags fluttered gaily in the fresh - breeze and
the bright sunshine.
If those who were anxious for the honor of riding
on the same train with the royal Englishmen were
doomed to dieappotutment, the possessors of elle-
Me places on the slip`were still more molly de
ceived, for just as expectation -for the looked-for
arrival was on tiptoe, a strong posse of the Fifth
ward polkas, under Lieut. Goidey, marehed.to the
water's edge, and- then advanoing westward, the
slip was cleared -of ,allbut a few privileged per
sons. The crowd thus driven back swelled the
throng on the wharves, on Walnut street, and on
the vessels adjactaiit, and, - soon after. load sheers,
and the cry of i! Here ho- comes !" heralded
the approach of the carriages containing the
strangers. The carriages were driven direetly,
'upon the slip, whore, without jostling or crowding,"
their distinguished occupants alighted, end they
stepped on board through, a lane - formed of mem
bers of the Reserve Corps. The Prince reified his'
hat as he passed through the line,' in aoknowledg:
meat of the seven shown to hint 'by the of floors
uncovering.
By half past nine o'clock the royal natty. with
their servants and baggage, were safely on board;
and the Primo of Wales had left the shores of
Pennsylvania in all probability forever. -
The Prints, with most of the noblemen of his
suite, stood in the cabin of the boat duringthe,
short passage woo the Delaware, and they con
versed pleasantly with Mayor Henry and sever,'
other Philadelphians who were on board. There
wore also several ladies in tho cabin,' but they
were not presented to the Prince. A rosse of the
Reserve Corps, under the direction of Chief Ruggles
and Lieutenant lienderson, craned - the river on
the boat.
THE ARRIVAL IN JRHSRY.
The depot at Camden was kept measurably clear
of the crowd of anxious Jerseymen, whd desired to
obtain a peep at royalty; but there were still per
sons enough of both sexes in the building to form a
continuous throng from the edge of the slip to the
special train in waiting. The distinguished travel-
lers took their seats in the handsome oars provided
for them, and, as each of them entered, they all,
from the Prince down, shook Mayor Henry hearti
ly by the hand, and, after thanking him for the
kind attention shown them by himself and the
other gentlemen of the Philadelphia Commitee,
they expressed their gratification at the courteous
consideration they had received on all aides during
their stay in Philadelphia, their appreoiation of
the kindness of their treatment hors. and of the
delicate attention paid to their desire — fq,' be as
private as 'possible. They were, also as mulch
pleased with the city as with their treittnient here
At fifteen minutes before 10 o'Olook;'llfe last fare
well had been spoken, the whistle -of-the locomo
tive sounded, ,and the special train, with its illus
trious burthen, glided.off oa Its way northward.
SINGULAR. OMR Or - HEArli.--A ease is
now before our notice, involving a singular cause
of death. On Wednesday night, a woman named
Anna hicCannon,, 45 years of age, who lived in St.
Joseph's plaoo, near Thirteenth and Market streets,
retired to bed in apparent health. Yesterday
morning het dead,body was found lying 'upon the
floor of her apartment, and the floor and stairs
were literally covered with blood. Her body was
also covered with blood. •
It was at:first eupposed that a shocking murder
had been committed, and no little - eaoltereent was
caused in the heighborbood. -The neighbors ga-
thered in great numbers where the bloody body
lay, and great indignation was durrent against the
supposed murderers. The coroner's inquest, hew•
ever, djpilosed'the fact that her death had been
caused by natural canoes It seems that the de
ceased bed a severe oancerous RIMS' in her left
wrist. During the night the dime's ate into the
main artery, and the poor woman .bled to death
while creeping about in search of relief. A verdict
in accordance with these facts wee rendered.

settled, and the baok door wat forced in,The fa
mily of Mrs Diddle being out of the city, the .ser
vents were gratifying their curiosity at the Opera
Rouse. 'A young man named - John lifcLinn, whose
betrothed lives next door east of arra. Biddle's,
rapped at the back gate as nasal for admittance.
As he did this he observed the gate of No. 140 a
open, and a young man emerge
,therefrom rito %
meat after: MoLtnn had boon an outside speote&
ticr at the Academy, and there noticed Mrs Bid
die's domestics, The result was a conclusion that
therewere thieves in the next-door house. On again
going around to the back gate it was found fasten
ed, and while there the front-door belt wee rung.
Oa going to the front, two men•were seen Coming
out of the door. They ran in different directions,
and the one running towards Fifteenth street was
followed by Mr. Maim up 'Fifteenth street,
through alleys, and down cue street and up an
other, at one time turning upon his pursuer anti
threatening.to shoe t him, and dropping his hat 10
the chase.. Finally, having entered a court front
which there was no outiet,lie'divested himself of
hie coat and emerged, inquiring,_" Where that
thief was who was Touring away?" Madan,
nothing daunted. felted the thief, telling him he
was his man. The hue and cry was continued
through all the abase, and by this time a con
siderable crowd was assembled; who, instead of
assisting the pursuer, as requested, took the part
of the thief, and the latter was finally enabled to
escape,all the police in the neighborhood' being on
duty a t the Opera Hones. On making en-exami
nation at the hOUBD of Mre.. Biddle, it was found
that two basketzhad been packed with eilrerwara,
in readiness for rennval. There were several ar
ticles of no great value carried off by tho thieves.
The domestics returned home after all the mis
