SINCrLAR CASE OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVI 11ENCE—A 'DUFF CONVICTED BY AE Es VELOPE.— The value of circumstantial evidence was never more pdainly evinced then at the bearing of JO*, 11. Barber. before Alderman Dealer, yesterday afternoon, upon the charge of having stolen jewelry to the value of 8800. The facts of the case, as developed, are quite extraordi nary, and in a work of fiction would be pronounced 1111- prebAble. On the 20th of November Lieutenant Brad ley, a mnsterieg officer. was robbed at the American Hotel (Trenton. N. .T.) of money and jewelry to the value of $BOO, his trunk being broken open and rifled. The thief left in the Lieutenant's room a bunch of keys. On the , 21st ult. that officer communicated with De tective Taggart, 9f this city, and on the let instant p portion of the stolen jewelry was received at a pawn-shop in the southern part of the city. Among the articles was a breast-pin, which was wrapped up In a piece of an envelope. The paper attracted the at tention of the detective. and upon a closer examination di onc . l .o ilhd it bore the address of a volunteer in Colonel NeLenn's regiment, then encampea near Wash ington. Following up this clue, duperintendent Frank li of the Detective force, wrote to the colonel, asking Information of the soldier's character and whereabouts during the month of November. On the following day be received a visit from the individual inquired about, Who brought with him a reconmendatory letter front his polonel. Mr. Franklin showed him the envelope, and asked him whether he had any suspicion as to the perpe trator of the robbery. The soldier was silent for a while, paid then frankly _replied that he had a worthless bro ihor-in-law, by whom he himself had been robbed some time previously. On questioning the volunteer's wife, she said that the brother-in-law had been at the house, and had shown her a quantity of jewelry which he Mated he had arm at a rains.

ANOTHER NEW ITOSPITAL.—The new wo inlln's hospital which was chartered in March last, is nearly math to commence operati. us. It embraces the tw large double buildings, rented for the purpose, in a"ilorth College avenue, just behind Girard eutiege. This Isespital will be entirely in charge of ladies, except that they will consult with an "advisory committee" of gen tlemen. The endowment of the institution is a matter of which we are ignorant, but we are told that they expect le PURI;Iftn wlatcll tbcY 9C94IPF! :P art of 0178 of the buildings will be reserved for the lecture rooms of a medical college. The resident physician, Mrs...JIM Cleveland, has spent Iwo years studying in London and Paris, ten months of the time in ""La Maternite," at Paris. The assistant I:Physician and pharmaceutist is Miss M. J. Scariett. The situation of the buildings is most admirable. In deed, they are so high up in the fresh air lb it the upper !Monies cannot he supplied with reservoir water. The view over the Girari College enclosure, and the city getie- PUY, is Ter) line.

WIIARF IMPROVEMENTS.—The slip at the foot of Washington street, now being built by that pros perous organization ' the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company, will shortly be completed, and will prove a valuable improvement. The slip, we learn, is intended for the steamboat ;Ver son, belonging to the Camden & Aniboy Railroad Com pany, which will convey the freight cars to this point, where they will be run ashore, and alongside of the freight cars upon the track of the Baltimore Railroad. The tilthiaMl . 1 H AliftlSS , OeespahY fiVe hotf. ii1.111:1115 4VE - per 'milts for the purpose of arranging their freight cars so that they may pan through direct to Washington. The experiments are made with a view to ascertaining whether it would be better to widen the tread of the 'wheel, 89 as to accommodate itself to the difference of gauge, or to haw the wheels sell-adjustable upon tho axles. We also learn that mud machines are at work at Cam den, deepening the slips, to better accommodate the freight boats. The stock of freight and passenger cars boo 00d to stilt beto. o iuoroooed to a very conAdor,de ex tent. This increase is rendered necessary to accommo date the winter business. A CUBAN EUERDIENT.=A Steam city pas- tenger car was chipped, day before yesterday, on board the schooner New Jersey, for Havana, Cuba. It has been sent out as an experiment, and, if successful, it will secure a large contract for furnishing Havana. Several We peen recently sent to feria cruy and other Mexican cities. 'The car is of a very beautiful model, both as re gards skill and workmanship. The grades of the different street railways of Havana being very heavy, it has been found impossible to use animal power, and steam will be applied as a means of overcoming the difficulty. The extreme liength of the car is tweilty-tcro feeti end the engine is of sixteen-horse power. The speed is the same as that allowed by the ordinance relating to city , passen ger cars, which is about ten miles an hour. The machi nery occupies a space equal to about two-thirds of the front id:AC.54lli. The water-ietats itre placed :Jona one side, snider the seat, while, in the same locality, on the opposite side, is an opening for bundles, &c. This is an excellent plan to prevent the passengers Irons being in commoded by bundles, an evil to which its are subjected to Arkkeht :.by of ohs city fanwaYi. The car is large enough to seat twenty-live persons comfortably. Several of our own city tools have these cars in ope ration. They are now employed on the upper branch of the Fifth and Sixth- streets railroad, and the Plank Road Cempanp, leading to CAPIIIMILSIVES, ass th•gothaiii•C them. ARREST OF PRAIRIE HENS.—A gang of row dies known as , 4 Prairie liens" infest the neighbor hood of Broad and Coates streets, and were formerly quite notorious for the commission of outrages. Lat terly they have been pretty quiet. On Tuesday, how ever, Officer Roberts, of the Fourteenth ward, attempted to arrest Eugene McCarty and John Pricer, two of the "liens," on suspicion of haring been concerned in a rob: nay. The officer was resisted and called to his assist ance Mr. William H. Conrail, captain of the night watch men of the Custom House. Mr. Conrad was very roughly handled by the two rascals, and was badly cut about the face, as is supposed, with a chisel. The men were se cured, 'flowerer, and locked up. Yer , terduy morning, they had a hearing before Alderman Plankinton, and were committed to ans ser at court. McCarty was con victed of riot at Strawberry Mansion about two 3-ears since and sentenced to fifteen months' confinement in the Eastern Penitentiary,- His term only expired a few weeks since. Pricer has been serving a term in the House of Refuge for burglary in the Twentieth ward. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. PHILADELPHIA, December 11, 1861 steadiness in price& with WILT limited males, eltarae. terized the stock market to-day. Pennsylvania Railroad shares were M lower, selling at 37R. Reading Railroad shares sold at 17 and 17.05 ; Camden and Amboy Rail road shares at 119 'Harrisburg Railroad at 52 i Morris Canal stock at 35. -There is no alteration in the features of the money market. TLe stockholders of the Barclay Railroad and Coal Com pany will have a meeting to-morrow, Thursday, Dec. 12, at r 1 o'clock, at the office, nortlnre-tcornerot Fourth and Walnut streets, to receive from the directors a re port of the causes which have led to the assignment in trust of the company's property, and of taking snob an- Bon as the Interest of the stockholders Bitty mittleo lis the present situation of the company's affairs. The Chicago Tribune says: "The good people of Montreal, having just got in operation their first street railroad, bave fallen straightway at loggerheads, and broken out into columns of communications m the daily papers, because the cars will run on Sunday. if the ex perience of Chicago is worth anything to our Canadian neighbors, they may learn from us that they are suffering under one of the diseases of infancy, incident to all street railroads. It will soon pass off with mild treatment. One thing is settled here, as in other cities, that a population Who mutt mid Win net about on Sundays; are not to he made better by cutting oft* their means of communication. Our church-goers have come to reckon horse-cars among their Sabbath blessings." The New York Post, of this evening, says: The Stock market is Eat to-day. The speculative list eriucea no spirit whatever, and Woos eulfer front sheer inactivity, though, there is evidently some realizit g on the part of those holders who are disappointed in the in stability of the improvement of Monday.

The opening sales were at 78is—a decline of may 4 cent., from which there is no recovery at the close. ' The annual meeting is held at Albany to-day, and there are indications that the annual report will not be as favora ble as has been looked for.

Artificial eyes, of excellent make, have been found in a mound near Arica, in Peru, which most likely belong, to the time of the Meas. At the present day, the art of concealing physical defects is universal, and we know of no better plan for beautifying the human form than by using the handsome and fashionable garments manufactured at the Palatial Clothing Emporium of Granville Otekre, 009 Chestnut street. The fine and cheap winter garments made to order at this establishment cannot be surpassed. ARRIVALS AT THE HOTELS 'yr TO 12 0 7 0 LOOK LAST NIGHT.
