paper droits, oecistoned by a statement in a Haw
York paper, purporting to corns from u Washing
ton correspondent, to the effect that Roger B.
. Taney, Chief Jnstioe of the United States Supreme
Court, bed tendered his resignation to the Freal
dent. The politicians devoted themselves to any
amount of apeouletlon, and the suooemor of the
venerable lawgiver was determined upon in every
pot!tidal olub room. Advises by the Ataoelatod
Frees lead to the belief that there is no foundation
in the announcement, and that Mr. Taney still
holds the position wbioh Is so oeineitly oraved by
prominent legal men of his political persuasion.

mediately upon the receipt of thia new* at Wash

wee furnished with hia panporta. This terminates
all diplomatic intercourse between Pern end tbe

. We kotio* in tho Constitution, the organ oi
Jims Bucujfijr, a letter from a clergyman,
in favor of secession, who tells ns that slavery
is Scriptorally sanctioned by the practice of
patriarchs and prophets, and the precepts ot
tfce Saviour. The reipark of this clerical
toady reminds ns of the observation of a groat
Southern statesman who heard a Northern
may, trying to justify slavery by the Bible, me
follows; “We know the exact value of the
i&stitntion ourselves, and I never had any pa
tiesco when* decent man attempted to make
slavery a Divine institution.”
These is a oreditable contrast between
Ana....m Limcols and Jams Bucuajian, in
.one respect at least. After the election of the
latter he wrote a letter of acceptance, which
he deliberately and consistently repudiated by
all his subsequent acts. His successor, who is
said to be an expert splitter of rails, has ab
stained lrom all allusions to politics since hla
election—thus avoiding .the rock npon which
J. B. split his rail. ,
Ope ov> Mind, Wk. £. Robinson, the
“Blchelieu” of the New York Tribune, so well
remembered by the Irishmen of Pennaylvuihi
daring the greet straggle for Repeal, fifteen
years ago, is presented by his countrymen,
end many American Democrats, as a candi
date for Civil Justice in the Eighth district ol
New York. We sincerely hope that Hr.
Rosntson may be elected.
The Washington Constitution, with its
British editor, laughs at the anonymous inti
mation sent to Hr. Lincoln threatening him
with assassination, and which is supposed to
Intro comp from the South. If tho editor will
go to his master, Jams Buchanan, we think
he will find that he was mnoh more alarmed at
the threats of the Plug-Uglies in Baltimore,
after his election, than Hr. Lis cols is now in
regard to the threats of the fire-eaters.
«Wht no rou not attack the Republican

Onr answer is, that the Republican party is
auMclently assailed by the enemies of the,
Union, and we are quite willing to try and to
' frost lb. liiscoLS in the management oi the

‘ Tsx Pittssuso daily Dispatch, one of the
most enterprising and fearless Republican

believes that sUyery is wrong, morally and po
litically, says of Hr. Lisools : «We expect

The Leaders of the Republican Party
OB .the Crisis.
Tho imminence of the general peril has at
last becomo so apparent that the voice of de
nunciation is hushed, (Save wherodisnulott
is accepted as Agrarid^iiif slaw,) and those
whose habit it ua beeh to ridiculc and to re
proach are' how pfOtopt to refleot and to re
gret. By common consent, all who care for
the perpetuity of our liberties, of whatever
name or party, seem to agree to “let the
dead past bury its dead,” and to meet the
threatening present' and tho gloomy future in
.the. spirit.ef.men who are resolved to sink or
swim together. Apart from South Carolina,
whose formal withdrawal from tho Union can-,
net, in our opinion, be prevented, and who
proposes to inaugurate the new year by at
tempting, so far as she can accomplish it, to
break up our national brotherhood, there are
to be ionnd in the other Cotton States, and in
the border States, hundreds and thousands
who will cling to the Union until hope has
departed, and who will only concede to tlife
frantic fanatics around them when all prospect
for reconciliation has disappeared.
It is upon the friends of the Union in the
Southern States that tho friends of the Union
in the Northern and Northwestern States must
chiefly rely. They are now tho bulwark of
the Confederacy. • The Bell and Douglas
men on the southern, side of Nason & Dixon’s
line can save the Republic from destruction,
and possibly from annihilation. But they
must be encouraged or they will be over
whelmed. We have repeatedly directed the
attention of our readers to this fact.
■ We are not, therefore, surprised to see that
intelligent Bepublican Waders, and newspa
pers, have at last begun to appreciate the grave
exigencies which surround our country, and
threaten inconceivable trouble to tho' incom- i
ing Administration. \
We have onr own notions as to the way of
adjusting the issues between tho Southern,
and Northern, and Northwestern States, and
Bhould like to see them accepted os the basis
of any new compromise. But ih titnos like
the present, when Iho most experienced minds
hesitate what advice to give, and when, North
and South, the true friends ot tho Republic
stand appalled at what appears to them an
almost inevitable catastrophe, we gladly pro
claim our willingness to withdraw our opinions,
In order to consummate the preservation of
the Union. There are men in both extremes,
who are always ready to attack any tribute to
a common cansc, in the hour ot peril, as an
evidence of timidity or inconsistency; bat it
is frequently much more easy to he consistent
than to be right. And we have no more sym
pathy with those who, in South Carolina,
taunt Virginia and Kentucky, when they re
commend conservatism, than with that other
class, in the North, who, failing to ap
preciate tho public danger, and barren
of remedies for the general disease,
laugh at every demonstration that may be
mado to support Virginia and Kentucky.
South Carolina, by universal consent, seoms
to have been ruled out of all reasonable coun
cils. She is discarded by the national men in
the South. We trust that the national men
in the North will exercise a similar sjoiHt in
regard to all these, or .whatever opinion, who.
imitate the intolerance ot South Carolina, and
put themselves Btubbornly in tbe path oi all
settlement of: the overshadowing danger.
With these comments, we Introduce the fol
lowing'suggestions from leading Republican
authorities. The tint is an attack upon the
personal-liberty bill of Massachusetts, by the
prominent organ of the Republican party in
that State, the Boston Journal. Wo copy:
“ PinsoKai-liißaarr taws.—Among the griev

A’ resolution w.s offered in the Georgia Legists

With a mutual desire to harmonise differences, lot

together with a provision making counties where

who have them tn charge liable for the value of
the elavet so rescued.
And in regard to the other vexed question,

why not restore the Missouri Compromise Hue ?

[ Albany livening Journal.
These suggestions ootne from a very distinguish,
ad and influential quarter, and deserve the atten
tion whioh they cannot fail to raeelve. If the pub
lio mind throughout the North and West is suffi
ciently oonvinced that there is danger of disunion,
to be ready to assent to any esheme of compro
mise, the Journal’s intimations will doubtless be
received with favor. As to that fsot, wo have not
anffioient evidence, as yet, to warrant a decided
opinion. It most be oonfeiaed that the experience
of 1850 and 1854,—the enaotment of new oompro
misee, and the raadineas with whieh one still older
and more sacred was repudiated,—has rendered
the very word “compromise” odious to tho great
mars of the Republican party throughout tho freo
States. They will, therefore, be very cautious
about giving their assent to such a projeot as that
which (be Evening Journal has suggested.
Whatever may be the feeling just now, how
ever, we have very little doubt that the no*
eeatity for a compromise of some sort, if peaoefnl
relatione are to be preserved, will, ere long, be
come more eleariy apparent. We cannot resist the
oonvictlon, forced upon ns by evidence of the most
trustworthy character, that disunion is the settled
purpose of Sooth Carolina; that two or three
other slave States stand ready to seoond and sun
port her in it the moment she shall take a deoisive
step,—and that nearly all the rest are disposed, if
not determined, to join in resisting any attempt on
the part of the General Government to ooeroe them
into submission. We believe this to be the aetual
etate of the oese at the present moment: and ex
cept in a very few loealitiei at tbe South, we see
no conservative Movement of any vigor or vitality.
As to thoGnlf States, if there Is sny Union feeling
in any of them, it has not yet taken any organized
fern.
The danger is thst any plan of compromise that
can be enggesiedeomee too soon for tho North, and
by-and-bye will eome too late for the South. The
restoration of the Missouri line ought to be satis
factory to moderate, conservative men of both
seetions,—though, In view of the opinions of the
Supreme Court and the claims or tho South, it
Would be necessary to taibody it in an amend
ment of the Constitution. Neither Seotion would
probably run the risk of making it dependent upon
an net of Congress.
The third we copy from “Independent,”
the well-known Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia North American, dated tho
26th; It will be perceived that the writer,
who is now located at the seat oi Federal
power, and, from his acknowledged intelli
gence and antecedents, supposed to speak by
authority, recommends “ that, it South Caro
lina should secede, the General Government
should give her the ports, arsenals, and public
buildings within her jurisdiction.” Ee says.
“ In this view it may bsoomo necessary to look
at the secession scheme sight in tho face, end to
consider what ought to be the policy of the Gene
ral Government. Secession is only another name
for. revolution. No such oontingenoy is contem
plated by tbe Constitution, end if is wholly impos
sible under our system. If South Carotins de
•“ree • herself out of tho Union by ordinance, as
the ml de, it Is for the avowed purposed setting
up an .independent Government, end throwing off
aD allegiance to the Union, and all recognition of
Federal lain. Thera is no power to interfere with
her, up to she does not Interrupt tho
execution of the United Slates laws, and evenaiier
any auoh Interference, the courts would have to
decide the issue, and Congress to provide the
President with,authority to carry any decision
into effect. His power ie limited to the execution
of existing laws. The Force bill under Jackson
expired by lie own limitation, end the cot of 1796,
authorising him to call out ihe militia in oertaln
eases, would be a dead-letter in South Carolina if
P?(Wlllißtde
The leaden of this movement know perfectly
well that, as Congress is- now politically divided,
no aot could be passed placing additional power In
ti» bands of the President for any purpose con
templating. eoerelon immediately or remotely.
They believe Mr. Bookman will not attempt to
emptoy fbroe, go matter whet form their expert*
meat may eeeume.
- “ If South Carolina should therefore proofed to
the extremity new contemplated, what ought to be
done? That qneetion will soon be upon us any
how, and H may as well bo considered atone timo
es another- fro OntS pr'et'ondS that this Union oan

The condition of Bonth Carolina to-day \b radically
different from what it has ever been before. Let
ns not deceive ourselves with any contrary opinion.
Her people are In a elate of revolution, no matter
by what influences it may have been produced.
That Is a stern fast to be (Jonfrented in all its
force. Her bbnvbntmn, to ifteet on the 17th of Do
oembeb, will para an ordinance to go out of the
Jnlon, with, perhaps, aoondition of never return
ing again, and soon after she will take the neees.
sary steps to assert sovereignty and to assume the
forms of a newTState or nation.
“ If the President could tarn against her the
whole army and navy, at discretion, it would not
have the effect of winning hack her allegiance or
subduing the spirit of resistance. And, whatever
niay be the feelings of other Southern States as to
tho preoipit&noy of her action, or its impolioy, or.
its unconstilutlonality, the first gun fired in such a
struggle would unite them as one man, and then
thooonsequencemlghteasily beforctold. t>uoh is the
Tapid tendenoy of events. The oaso is without pro- |
oeaent or parallel in our history, because it is the |
first* attempt at real revolution. It cannot, there- j
fore, be treated by the same rtllo afi'WaB praotiecu
in Pennsylvania in tho whisky insurreotion, ofc!
In South Carolina during nullification. Tho oo- I
oaslon must furnish its own remedy, find there ;
seems but one to meet tho sentiments of South
Carolina,' whioh is for Congress to aooept her
ordinance, and agree to a jeaceable separa
tion, giving her the forte, arsenals, and pub-
Ho property within her Jurisdiction. Let her
try tho experiment with the consent, good will,
and forbearance of tho United States, and see
whether a nation oan be extemporized into exist
ence in the nineteenth century, with the reopon
lug of the Afrio&n slave trade for its avowed pur
pose and basts. Thia-oourse-will at least s&vo tho
sad speotaole whioh would inevitably follow an
effort to preserve tho- Union intact by compelling
tho. submission of one or more rebellious States.
It is lamentable to contemplate suoh a possibility,
but. any resort is. hotter than that whioh may
dronoh the soil in fraternal blood.
“A convention of all the States would undoubted
ly be satisfactory to the whole South but South Caro
lina. Even that experiment is not without serious
perils, from the exactions that might, and probably
would, be made in the present excited state of
opinion. Still, it contains tho essonce of a remedy
whioh, with patriotic inspirations and & disposition
to concession by both sides, might rbsnlt in a per
manent paoifioalion. It is ono of the reserved,
moral foroos of the Constitution, applicable to
great exigencies like the present, whioh the coun
try may invoke when othor expedients have failed.”
The fourth is copied from Geeeiey’s Now
York Tribune of .yesterday, in which, in a
reply to a correspondent, after stating that
most of the border slave States will partially
be driven into co-operation with tho Cotton
States, and will secede, he adds:
If the Cotton States unitedly and earnestly wish
to withdraw peacefully from the Union, we think
they should and would be allowed to do so. Any
attempt to compel them by forco to remain would
bo contrary to the principles enunciated in tho
immortal Declaration of Independence—contrary
to tho fundamental ideas on whioh human liberty
Is based- We trust, therefore, that if the Cotton
States should resolve to secede, they will quiotly
and inoffensively announce their determination to
do so, asking Congress to call a Convention to ar
range the termfl of separation. They must be
aware that this 1b a work of difficulty; that time
is reaniredto eflectit; and that Mr. Buohanan,
Mr. Lincoln, or whoover may bo President, will
bo constrained by his inauguration oath to colleot
the* revenue and enforce the laws throughout tho
entiro area of our country until suoh separation
shall have boon duly effeoted. But if they really
desire to go out, and will allow time to effeot the
separation peacefully, we shall do what we oan to
persuade the North to aooode to their wishes.
We cannot tell what the embryo Cotton Con
federacy will “attempt to olaim.” As, however,
we paid $15,000,000 In hard cash for Louisiana,
$5,000,000 for Florida, and $10,000,000 to Texas—
in all, $30,000,000 for territory that they propose
now to carry off—we do not believe they will get
muoh. Ho who stfiy vrill probably have to pay
tbe entire debt of the present Union—now ovor
$60,000,000—50 that our olaim to administer on
the effects is a pretty strbng one.
The returns of the census for 1800 are not yet
complete. We give that for 1850, with tho esti
mated population for 1860, as follows:

wo have thus presented tho emphatic
opinions of tho liepnblican organs of Massa
chusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. It
will bo seen that they propose remedies which*
the most ultra Southern men could hardly
hesitate in accepting, unless blindly bent upon
disunion. Wo hero leave the subject, with
the single remark, that when those who are
supposed to be most immediately connected
with Mr.. Liscolk voluntarily make such '
proffers as thoße, what just pretext can there
be for. any truo friend of tho Union in tho
South to join tho Secessionists In their un

Illness—to shorn in his case, for a more reliable
and Isss caprfolous singer nevor appeared before
an andienoo—hi* absence, we say, prevented “The
Sicilian Vespers ” being given. In its place, “La

all. So much so that, though the singers were not
called on for encores, thoy wore respectively
called out at the end of every aot.
Madame Colson and Madamo Gamnigahavo

mirthful or contemptuous memory. With as email
a quantity of voice as a pritoa H'onila couldcon
trive to pass muster with, Gaizanlga had great
dramatlo power, which made her succeed with
the multitude. She was neither young enough
nor well-looking enough for the character. On
the other hand, Colson—who Is only twenty-five
years old, whioh is fifteen years under Gazzaniga—
also has rare beauty, a superb and sympathetic
voioe, graoeful aotion, strong dramatlo power, and
sweet expression. Ono would wondor bow any
young man ever oould break his heart for such a
homely woman as Gazzaniga, but who can see
< Colson in the part and wonder at the spell which
her beauty, graco, and talent must exeioiso over
an Imaginative lovor? Last night she sang
charmingly, especially in Aot 11, and was attired,
as usual, with exquisite taste.

The music, during several soones, was too noisy

This performer, one of tbe most remarksbie men
of the time—whothor we consider his skill, his
boldness, his self reltaneo, his presenoe of mind, or
his wonderful tsot—lb also one of the most unas

Some sense, and has made up his mind, we under

(which was baoked by a very handsome present,
at Niagara,) speedily to visit England. Under

WASHINGTON CQKRESPONDENCE,
Letter from •“ Occasional,”
■Correspondence ot The JPress.l
WASHINGTON, NOV. £B. .
There soems to be, in all quarters, a surrender
to the idea that, if a State shall determine to st*
cede from the Federal Union, she a&nnot be com
pelled to return. This is the ’point that will be
avoided in President Backan&n’s forthcoming
message. I am not disposed to cavil at tho con
struction whioh appears to have been plaood upon
the relations of the South to the Union—alike by
'the Washington Constitution ’and the New York
Tribune, representing Ultra oxtremes—because I
make due allowance for all men in public posi
tion who ate obliged to deliberate and deride
upon the grave questions now at issue between the
two sqqtions. hut docs not this concurrence in the
idea that secession from the Union can be peace
fully made, inevitably and inexorably prepafo the
way for the destruction of the Avierican Re
public ? If South Carolina dan scOodo, making
her oyfii grounds of .Complaint, Pennsylvania can
secede.. What course.is left us, with no taan to
raise -his voioe sgainst a proposition whioh, in the
days of Jaokson, Webster, and ClAy, would have
been ’scouted out of Cobgross, and rejected by
all parties ot the,groat States of New York,,
Pennsylvania, - Ohio, • Virginia, Kentucky, and
Missouri?
Will not (heso controlling Commonwealths cow
look out for thomselVos ? Will they not propard to
make, combinations with eaoh other, <?r will they
not anticipate their -relations to the future, nnd<
take advantage of *tH4 tfe'W' Construction whioh has
boon given by our‘new “leaders in Israel” to the
Fodoral Constitution ? If this theory of peaoefu*
secession is right, or if it is not attacked, and is
generally accepted, self-preservation will oompel
Pennsylvania to look out for hirerif. She has in
.oaloulable advantages ovor all the Other States of'
the -Union, and will necessarily boooino a leader
should any division’ take place. Bet railroads
knit her* to the conservative South and to those
great lakes for the oommeroe of which New York
has been contending, and,.until within lato years)
has-cucces&fally-eontended for. Her people are
conservative. She is’neighbored by Virginia on
tho southwest and by Maryland and Delaware on the
south, and she oan make of liorsolf an independent
empire, living npon bor wheat and oora, and feed*
ing, from her surplus, surrounding Commonwealths,
while maintaining an immensely compensating
trade by mo.ans of her coal and iron. If seoeßslon
is right, and no hand is .to be raised to enforce tho
Jefferson, Madison, and J&ekson dootrino, why
should not Pennsylvania look out for herself 7 . >
We must mbeVtheso issues whethor or no, and
he iB a poor leader who does not frankly tell his
followers the dangers Wore and behind thect.
Bankruptcies will unquestionably ensue. They
have happened already. ’ But these are only the
loesons taught by adversity. It is something to
have this groat question settled. Every few years
quiet men, who take little part in politics, are dis
turbed,- and frequently destroyed, in their busi
ness operations, by the “eternal blazon ” on the'
slavery question. Strange .to say, all onr panics,
with a few exceptions, have grown out of the in--
terminable negro; It wonld be of vast aocountrttr
tho merchants of Philadelphia, and the manufac
turers and artisans of Pennsylvania, if our exaot
relations to the slavory .question could be defined
and understood. We have begged from the South,
through many years, a recognition of the inteiosts
of Pennsylvania. We did so under ilr. Van Bti
ron, Mr. Polk, Mr. Pl6foe,.and now Mr. Buohaii
an, and wo have failed to .secure any permanent
protection. In the meanwhile, Pennsylvania has
stood firm to the Demooratlo party, unless when
the pariy itself was destroyed,by its own dissen
sions. No State has a better right to revolt cr it
oodo than Pennsylvania. She dscs not propose to
do so; but I hope she will look out for herself. In
the coming flurry and strife, little will he left to
her but the sense of herown independent and so
vereign position, and I trust she will exerolse it
cautiously and courageously. Occasional.

The Complexion ol the Senate.
THE VACANCY ON TBE SUPREME-COURT BENCH.
The Washington correspondent of tho Now Yoik
Commercial Advertiser says:
It is not oertain that more than two Senators—
theso - from South- Carolina—will refuse to retail
their seats at tbe coming short and oonolnding sos
slon of tho present Presidential term. Governor
Brown, of Mississippi, has not resigned yet, though
ho had threatened to do so. His ooileagno, Jeffer
son Dayis, will not rosign while his State is in tho
Union. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, haß not resigned,
bnt will be disabled by bad health from taking hi)
seat.
There will bo so deoided a majority in tho Se
nate Of friends of the Administration, at tho oomlng
session, that the nominations of the President wIH
bo confirmed. Jndgo Blaek, tho present. Attorney
Gonoral, has undoubtedly been promised the va
cant seat on the bench of tho Supremo Court.
Thore will ho difficulty, however, about his ap
pointment, as ho is a non-resident of the oirouit.
That was tho nominal objection made by tho Se
nate to Mr. Fillmore's nomination of Senator Bad
ger, of North Carolina. The same objeotion would
apply to General Cushing, Bhould ho bo nominated.
Tho President, it would soem, would like to ap
point a Northern man, inasmnok as tho majority
of the oourt has so long been Southern.

A Flutter AjiaNG me SAinKO MASTfins
ox this Delaware. —The shipping-masters and
sailors engaged in the Southern coasting trade
were 2n a state of great excitement yesterday,
owing to regent advices from the Bohthern ports,
stating that coasting vessels wore to bo compolled
to run up the Palmetto flag, and that all negro
teamen were to be forcibly taken from the deoks.
This feeling tfae principally owing te n late attack
upon the schooner Rohtrt Dillon , of Maurice*
town, N. J.
While lying is the harbor of CharJeMon, 5. 0,
Mate two week* ago, a mob boarded hor, and or
dered the captain to take down tho American flag
and rsifeEp the Palmetto, under penalty of having
the masts of his vessel forthwith out away. The
American flag was hanlod down, but the captain
utterly refused to ran ap tho Disunion flag. This
was deemed a sufficient triumph, and the tnob left.
The eohooner was lying at one of our city wharves
yestorday* we believe Cumberland county, N. J.,
from wblon she hails, is largely interested in the
domestic trade The enrolled licensed tonnage of
the port of Bridgetown is 23,395 tons—more by
8,000 tons than that of Camden, and nearly 3,000
greater than that at Little Egg Harbor. Groat
Egg Harbor has flot'na much enrolled tonnage by
0,000. Several vessels from tho vloinity are daily
at our wharves, ahd thb alar in has sprand. to all of
them. A larg*****; ■■*ton ojLc* i- "f I * a; ta fhe J'oesfc-
nxe». 'These, we hndefpWhd,
refuse to go South. The consequence Is that ♦hero
are vacancies In the oyster-boat crews, and general
1 bad feeling on tbe part of “ salts.”
The Kendig Lottery Case —We have
been called upon bv Philander A. Fitsgerald, a
clerk in the establishment of Martin, Kecdig, &
Co., recently arrested on the oharge of maintain
ing a swindling concern, and violating tho lottery
laws of the State. Hr. Fitsgerald affirms that he
knew nothing of tho illegal oharactcr of the estab
lishment. For a considerable time he endorsed
| envelopes for Kendig & Co., and afterward kept
| books in the offioo of tbat gontleman, at a salary
lof one dollar per day. At the time of the arrest
j he was perfectly unocnscioua that he was a parly
Ito any fraud. He states that, to bis knowledge,
i threej hundred dollars’ worth of Sharp’s pistols,
I and a large quantity of jewelry and fancy artioles
| wore despatched by mail to oil seotions of the
: State, ana that, in iaot ; so far so ho hnow, the en
terprise was both* legitimate and fair.
Henry L- Kendig, associate clerk with Mr. Kitz
§ ©raid, had been connected with the firm but a few
ays at thd time of the arrest. The junior brothor
is now In prison, while the ptinoipai in the .affair
has been liberated. The probabilities are that the
oase willnever come into oouft.
Mr. Fitzgerald is well known in this olty, as nn
actor, and an occasional literary man. He regrets
that he has been mode Jho dupe of parties less
scrupulous.
Faibmourt Dam Filling Up.—The late
communication of the Chief Engineer of tho Water
Works, relative ttf the filling up of Fairmonnt
dam, will shortly be considered by a committee of
Counoils. Tho point of rooks prrj-oling into tho
river at the southwest point of tho Park forms a
bay, and stops tho flow of the river; m conse
quence. a largo quantity of mud has been deposited.
This mud should be removed, and an appropria
tion will be asked for this parposo on the next nn.
noal estimate of tho Water Department. In im-
S roving the Park a large quantity of earth has
eon thrown into the river, in the vicinity of this
promontory, thoa extending the Park into the
river .to the detriment of it as a subsiding reser
voir, and increasing the difficulties above deeoribed.
A building is also being erected at this point, pro
jecting into the river, under the authority of Conn
oiis. It is suggested that any farther enoroaoh
ffienfcfl upon the river be prohibited, and also to
stop the constriction Of the building roferred to
until the subject can be investigated by Counoils.
The oommittee, it is understood, will report to
deepen the dam, but not to interfere with the
boat-house referred to. A few mud machines will
do tho business.
Disorderly Houses upon 'Chestnut
STBKEt.—The arrest of William Boileau and the
desoent upon his disorderly saloon, at No. 037
Chestnut street, are matters highly oreditablo lo
the polioe corps of tho Sixth ward. The saloon in
question has long been a most disreputable den.
Girls of sixteen years of age acted as barkeepers,
and oard playing was a common feature ot the
plaoo. Language of an indeoent obarsoter was
oommonly employed by the male and female deni
zens, ana the orgies seemed to know no discon
tinuance, being prolonged both day and night.
This place is but one of many suoh upon Chest
nut street. Not many doors from the *‘Favorito”
a second restaurant is maintained, where females
a nee liquors, and which is likewise open all
. At intervals, in the same splendid thorough
fare, from Third to Broad stroot, are numerous
gambling houses, well known to the officers, and
the Lottery Policy shops in the immediate vicinity
are almost numberless. It has long been a matter
of surprise that such disorderlies are suffered to
remain unmolested. It is to be hoped that the re
oent descent will be the first of a series which shall
result in the demolition of suoh lam houses.
Destruction op Robinson’s Mills on
tbb WIBBABICKON.—On Sunday morning, about
5 o'oiook, a fire broke out in a mill on tho Wissa
hiokon, near the Ridge road. The buildings, whioh
wero of stone and trance, consisted of a mill for
sawing and planing lumber, and a logwood chip
ping mill. The entire establishment, with its ma
chinery, do., was destroyed, o&ueing a loss of about
$5,000. There was an Insurance of $3,000 on the
buildtag. The latter and the machinery belonged
to Mr. Andrew Robinson. The property was ten
anted by Mr. John Soheetz. Mr. S. loses about
$l5O in lumber, upon whioh there is no Insurance.
The origin of the fire is not known. The wind blow
the flames and sparks ow&y from the direction of
the Norristown Railroad bridge over the Wissa
hiokon, or that structure would have been endan
gered.
Robinson’s mill, thus demolished, is an old-time
stTUoture, whioh stood during the Revolution, and
was by many thought to be the oldest grist milt ex
tant in Pennsylvania. It was referred to at length
in an artiole on tho Wissahiokon, published some
timeagoin Ths Frets. The foundation stones, eto.,
wero very old. In the Revolution a skirmish took
place in the vicinity.
Larcbnt at Preston’s Mill, at Mana
ydnk —A few doyaago a Gorman, named Augustus
Wilferetadt, was arrested on the oharge of stealing
four tons of iron from the mill of Mr. Proßton, at
Manayunk. Tho aooused, at four different times,
took away iron in a wagon. He was detected by
the watohman, but the man exhibited such audacity
in his robbwy that the watohman supposed him to
be authorized to take away the motaf, and he was
not interfered with.
Arrest op a Ruffian-—A notorious
rowdy, named Thomas Borry, was arrested on Sa
turday night, after a hard struggle, during whioh
he beat a policeman in a brutal manner. On get
ting the rowdy to the station-house, he tore every
thing to pieces within his reach, and was only sub
dued finally by being put in irons.
Found Drowned —A woman, named
Caroline Shepard, was drowned yesterday, bne
had procured an order for the Almshouse, it ap
pears, and was on her way thither when ehe met
her death. Her bonnet and shawl wero found on
the bank. She reeidod on Walnnfc street, in tho
Twenty.fourth ward.
Homicide Case-—Margaret Anderson, re
siding in Devitos court. In tho Seventeenth ward,
died yesterday, and it is said from (he effeofs of a
beating by berhusband. An inquest will bo held
this afternoon at 4 Tho partloß appear

The jSlumed I'doitivk-Suive Dais.—
Wo mentioned, last week, the owe of an alleged
fugitive slave, conveyed clandestinely through
this city, from Harrisburg to Hagerstown, Md. 1
We have had nn exposition of the affair from a
correspondent in the interior. It seeifrs that a
white woman, namod Balts, from the vicinity of
Hagerstown, Md., and a negro man, passed down
the Cumberland Valley Railroad en their way to
this oity. The Mayor of Harrisburg reoeived a
despatch from Chambereburg, directing him to
arrest the woman and her companion on their ar
rival. The, May or and the Chief of Folioe met
the parties at the depot, but concluded not to
mako the arrest until they reached Philadelphia.
Chief Waterbury accompanied the parties to this
city, and, tfith the assistance of the officers in wait
ing, arrested them, and thoy were locked up. Her
father, who was sent for. states that she is married,
ami left a husband and four children, who reside
near Hagerstown. She married against the wishes
of hor parents, and lived very unhappily with her
husband, whom she deserted a short time ago and
went to her father’s house. He refused to receive
her, and she was obliged to rotnrn home. She
then packed up snob articles of wearing apparel
and household furniture as she could clandestinely
take with her. and scorned the services of a colored
man, a slave, belonging to one of her relatives, who
stole a Horse and vragon, with which he conveyed
her and tb6 goods to Hagerstown, where the woman
purchased two through tickets to and
induced the slave to aooompany her.
Mrs. Fultz is in jail at Hagerstown. The negro
has been sent South. The excitement among the
colored people of this oity relative to the affair has
not yet subsided.
The WBATRjsjL—Yesterday inoraiDg the
excessive cold of the previous night had considera
bly abated. The thermometer throughout the day
indicated an equilibrium of temperature, and al
though preparations for winter were apparent
from the number of scarfs, overcoats, etc , and the
tempting display of skates in the bulk-windows of
hardware establishments, all parties, towards eve
ning, settled into the sensible reflection that No
vember was given to much promise but little fulfil
fuent. The poor, of whom there were many to
shudder and grow pale at the threatened evil, felt
the warm air with thankfulness, and forgot for a
time the comfortless hearth and needy children.
Funeral op Mrs. Bombeaoer#—The re
i mains of this estimable lady, late wife of Rev. J.
H. Bomb'erger, were taken to, the church, Race
street, below Fourth, at noon yesterday, where the.
funeral services were performed. The services
were of a deeply interestlos character- and the
large number there assembled, deny of whom were
unknown to the deceased, were much affected.
Mrs. Bomberger had been & lady of retiring and
modest mien. The remains were taken to Easton,
Pennsylvania.
Watch Waiting fob Owner. —High
Constablo Clark has in his possession a.silver
watch, which was taken from a person who la sup
posed to have stolen It. It woe probably stolen
from a watchmaker, in whose hands it was under
going repairs. ,
Death of a Returned Volunteer
Matthias Spear, a member of the Scott Leg.on, and
airoid soldier of theldexlcan war, died bn Sunday
night, at hie n*. iiia South street. The
deceased was forty-five years of axe.
Fatal Accident.—Mrs. Denny died at
her residence, Eleventh and Lombard atroets,
yesterday morning, from injuries received on Sa
turday, by her clothes taking fire Horn a lamp.

It is reported that the New York weekly bank
returns, with ono bank to come in, show a decrease
of about $750,000 in spcole, and a decrease of
$1,000,000 in loans.
The actual lino of loans is $127,174,000, an in
oreaso of nearly $4,000,000.
The foreign news by the Arago is loss favorable
to American interests. Tho advance in the bank
rate to fivo per oent. seems to have been prompted
by the heavy drain of gold to tho continent, and
tho oourae of tho London market will be watched
with a great deal of interest as the time for tho re
ceipt of the news of the crisis on this side ap
proaches. London already seems ill prepared for
the shook that the news by the Bteamw of the 17th
Instant will occasion there. Tho competition Gf
the Bank of France—which had also been obliged
to advance its rato to 4} por oent.—for English
gold was very active, Rnd the drain of the week
pr roieed to reach $3,000,000.

The Evening Post says of the New Teik Stock
Market to-day : - . --f
The Stock market iaflat tb-dayi - From the
start there was a pressure to sell, and prints rapid
ly gave way, in some instances as muon *s five and
six per cent, from the best points of Saturday.’
The business was not large, and the wm infos
houses were only moderateßuyers at the deoliAf.
- The heaviness of the market may betttri hated,
in a great m assure, to the unfavorable look of
.Southern politlos, a« .reflected ia the Journals of
this morning, and to' the furtfief advance in the
-Banff of England rate* of discount, though the
natural tendency of prioes, irrespective oithew
Influences, was tevtardj. a’ reaction fromVth* ex
treme points of Saturday. Although there to great
relief in the money iff-trief, yet the feeling if fli t
from comfortable, and at the unfavorable cireem*
stances in whioh the late financial distress ortgi
nated come te be more thoroughly-canvassed, the
improssion gains ground, that the trials of the mar
ket are by no means ended.
At the olose ther'o Is more steadiness at the dir
cHne—sales of New York Central at 76l r Erie 29J-
Illinois Central, after selling down to:s|, doses

The railroad bonds are comparatively steady,
and, in most coses, higher prices were pud. The
issues of the Michigan Southern and Chicago and
Northwestern advanced, while Erie bonds were
lower.
The paper market shows no material obtuse
from Saturday, Prime bills are going at 10 al6
per cent., principally at 12. Call loans rule aboufc
7 percent.
The exchange on London for the Boston mail
opens dull at 103 a 10-1 for best bankers' bills.
Francs are heavy at 5 40 n 5.65.
The Secretory of the Treasury has authorised
the Sub-Treasurer in New York to extend for
thirty days the payments on tho new lots to par
ties who have not met the requirement of the ad

Garibaldi in New York*
. Tho appearanoe and oratory of Garibaldi,
; during his residenoo in New York, in 1850, are
thus reported by one of our citizens;
“ A meeting was held at a private house that
winter, to respond to a call from Menial, who
had written from London /or funds, and had
cent over some promissory notes of the future
Republic of Italy, on which to borrow money in
New York. On entering the room; my attention
was immediately arrested by the striking ap-
SearAuoe of a man who sat quietly in the oorner.
[is regular, bold features, his full, flowing beard
and broad shoulders, were lion-like, yet the ex
?ro«ion of his face was as gentle as a woman’s.
inquired who he was, and was told that it was
Garibaldi, I asked to be introduced, and was
duly presented. I expressed to him my admira
tion of his magnificent defenoe of Rome In 1849 :
to my oompliments, he replied in the most mo
dest and graceful manner. I then aaid, ‘ Gene-
you not going, to make a speeoh to
“* I think not—l am a man of action, not words.’
“ A few moments after, one of the speakers, an
Italian, said the question whether the Republic of
Italy would ever be able to redeem the notes or
bills offered, need not be considered, as any Ame
rican who loaned money upon them weald do so
as a gift to liborty, without expecting repayment.
To this another replied that such an idea was net
, business-like or honest, that they ought not to bor
row money without determining to repay it, upon
which Garibaldi rose and said:
“ «That 1s my opinion; we ought notio borrow
money without determining to repay it >
“ This, brief end honest, wti Garibaldi's speech;
the only one, probably, he ever* made in New
York, He was at that time a eletk in a candle
faotory on Staten Is!and. ,, -*lY>i* York 9m r.
