g4t Vrtss. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1865. SPORTING. S. Prize Fight, for Foni.Hundred Dol lars, between Messrs.' Sweeney and Porter—The Latter Vietorions -Good Fight, but Attended with ru.. - satistaitory Results—The Whole Ga libeling Stampeded. CSpecial Report for the Press.] A James Sweeney and Robert Porter were lately matched against each other to fight for four hundred dollars, at catch weight, and Yesterday was the day appointed for its deci sion. Both men reside in the neighborhood • of Germantown road and Master streets, and -are - nearly the same weight, though Porter h as a little the advantage in both weight and height, and is somewhat older than Sweeney. They have both been in training, and have taken every pains with their physical Condi tion. The place of fighting was at Edge Hill, about eleven miles from the city, and the ground was reached about six o'clock, but much time was wasted in fixing the ring and choosing a referee. At length everything was fixed, and the men were prepared for their -- work, Sweeney attended by James Elliott and -John Mackey, Porter by James Dunn and -Butte Riley. The betting was in favor of Porter, before the men went to the scratch, but ere many rounds were fought the odds were in favor of Sweeney, and at length two and three to one went a begging, the Porter Stock being, like some Oil stocks, badly depre ciated. Porter got first blood and first knock down, but Sweeney kept punishing terribly, quickly closing one eye entirely, and the other fast following suit, and his nose laid open on the bridge and spread to treble its usual propor tions, losing his strength and stamina, and being terribly demoralized. The cry of "po lice," was given twice„ and on the end of the fifteenth round, which made the fight last thirty-eight minutes, Porter was hurried from the ring to his coach, and moved from the ground. The referee ordered his return, and gave his friends ten minutes to place him in the ring. At the and of this time, Sweeney never having quitted the ring or his corner, was declared the winner by Mr. Thomas Carr, who was mutually chosen referee by the two principals. The ring was at once deserted, and Some Countrymen appeared armed with clubs and shot-guns. A stampede was made for the station, and those in carriages and wagons started in all directions. About thirty were ar restedby a party of extbmporized preservers of thepeace, headed by the sheriff of Montgomery county,who were armed with pistols, clubs, &c. Another party of nineteen were arrested in a by lane, and taken to a county tavern. The sheriff fired two shots at one man, and some eight or ten were fired in an, but no one was hurt. After a detention of about an hour, the sheriff made a speech to the law-breakers and then dismissed them with a caution against ever again entering Montgomery county for any similar purpose. The men who were held -at the tavern were also discharged, and the fun-seekers got back to the city in all kinds of ways and at different hours. The fight lasted 15 rounds, and occupied 35 minutes. A great number of the New Yorkers were present, including the once well-known Geo. IL Suse, the (" veritable George") Colbert, Noble, and many more. About three hundred men were present in all. THE TVENEN , PRIZE-FIGHT. TEE REVERE& STANDS BY HIS "FOUL " DECISION —Tar. STAKEHOLDER REFUSES TO GIVE UP THE MONEY 808 THIRTY DAYS—THE BACKER OF JACK AND HIS FRIENDS THREATENED WITH BR TBIZMINATION—NARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING STABBED AND BEATEN TO DEATH, ETC. A meeting of the backers of the Turners and their adherents was held at 4 P. M. yesterday at thehouse of Andrew Brumaeher. A crowd of ruffians were in attendance to carry out any hint of the Miller and Hastings' party, and Jack's friends being in the minority, as one to fifty, were glad to save their bacon at the expense of the money. Mahogany Hall McKeown, the unprincipled referee, unblushingly stuck to his decision, although it was proved that he was never ap pealed to, but actually called Dilly Dwyer, Jim's second, to him, and told him to claim foul. This can be testified and sworn to. Col bert is in possession of a letter written by McKeown, telling him of Jim Turner's being sick, and not fit to fight, and a de termination on the part of Hastings to save the money by an arrest. This was a ruse to win the confidence of the New York party, and secure their consent to his being appointed referee, and carry out the purposes of his employers, " Caddy , ' Miller and Ned Hastings. It can be proved that Ned Hastings was the rascal who applied for the arrest of the two Turners, and had the warrant made out by Alderman Jones for that purpose. It is also asserted that he procured the arrest of the man Butler, against whom he was matched to fight for $l,OOO some months ago, and thus obtained the money he was unable to fight for. Andy Brumacher, the stakeholder, has de cided to retain the stakes for thirty days, in order to give a chance for the parties to come to some arrangement-either to light for it or draw. The crowd of roughs collected together by Ned Hastings, who keeps a low house on Vine Atreet, were intent on ftnishing up Jim gmott, who chastised Hastings on Monday. They were urged to their purpose by every means, but no one seemed willing to commence the play by*" belling the cat," and no doubt a se rious affray was thus prevented, in which more than one life would have been lost. The organization were armed with pistols and knives, the latter open in their hands, and the champion escaped his intended death, and may yet meet in the championship Davis, who Is backed by Brumacher, the stakeholder in the present affair, against Elliott. Colbert offered to back Jack Turner by put ting up another $l,OOO, and make the stakes $2,000 a side, and fight in a week, but aftormuch windy nonsense Hastings did not appear to be able to raise $5O, as Killer appears to be sick of his connection, having to put up an extra 25 above his share of the last *5OO, and also Hastings' half of the $25 they had to pay for the ropes and stakes, his friend " Oyster Jack," not being willing to credit him. The New York party, consisting of Colbert the " Veritable" Greorge Sees, Wm. Varney; Mackey, Elliott, and some five or six true friendsbelonging to this city, left Brumaeher's rum-mill, followed by curses both loud and deep. All the money bet and deposited in the hands of the Hastings party has been given up to their friends, and fifty dollars bet by Elliott, on Saturday night, on the "first knock down," has been given against him, although no knock-down was given by either man during the fight. The allusions to Messrs. Seuoir and Cropper, as well as to Jack Turner's wife, were mis takes, anti we are glad to rectify therm A WALICIINTO ISIA.TCH, A guorr 'MATCH AND A MB= 'Brotherton is matched to walk against A , Sam, the Novice," one-quarter mile, for 3041. _A quoit match !or a alivOS goblet, open to all :quoit players.

Meeting in the Ninth Ward. A meeting of the Union citizens of the Ninth ward was held last evening, in the east room of National Hall, Market street, below TUN teenth: flue room was filled with an intelli gent audience, who frequently testified their approbation of the- sentiments put forth by the speakers. William S. Stokley, Esq., was called to the chair, after which resolutions were adopted recognizing the benificence of Providence in guiding the country through the war; depre cating the action of the men who denounced the efforts of the armies to suppress the rebel. lion, and now attempt to ask the support of those they derided; reasserting the import ance of the doctrine of protection to home in dustry; and declaring that a continuance of the policy which has governed the city for six years is needed, and that Morton McMichael is the man to do it. Brigadier General Joshua T. Owen was the first speaker. His address was lengthy, but well received. The designs of the Democrats were unmasked, and their hollowness and hypocrisy all shown. They were making all manner of shifts to obtain a little help from the soldiers. They charged the.war upon the Republican party. The truth was, that it was impossible to avoid the war; it was the se quence of events, and could never have been avoided. It might have been delayed, but only to burst in greater fury. That it came when it did was a subject of congratulation, for the country might never have been saved to freedom. It has done good; and one of its results has been that the people know each other better. The great work has been done, and the armies are to receive the praise of it. They have saved the Government from an erns: and confusion. Slavery bas been abol ished, and God be thanked! [Applause.] Colonel William B. Mann then addressed the meeting. He commenced by combatting the idea that there was no need of taking any interest in the coming election. This was wrong. The opposition were making strenu ous efforts, and would bring up all their forces, - and it behooves the Union men to watch them. It was like the message which the wolves sent to the sheep to let the dogs go. They did so, and the first night the wolves made a raid and carried off nearly every sheep. So it was with the Democrats. They passed resolu tions, saying that the war was a failure, and wanting to withdraw the troops, to discontinue the war, and take Jeff Davis by the hand. AD this could be seen, for it was so declared in the Chicago platform. Now they talk about how they carried on the war to a successful termination with the help Of our noble armies, and that of Mr. Lincoln. Now they say a great deal about the brave sol diers, and even go so far as to nominate sol diers op their ticket. But they have only nominated them where the Union majority is overwhelmingly against them, as in Allegheny county ; elsewhere they call them as they called them two years ago, "Lincoln hire lings.. Not content with this, they are endea voring to get the control of the country by building up a power North and South, and so seize the Government at a future time. They failed to elect a President in 1860 ; they failed to elect another in 1864; they murdered one in 1865, and now they are trying to steal Andrew Johnson. That is the record of the Democratic party. The mayoralty question was another and a grave subject. Patriotic men are wanted, men who believed in the Union and sustained it. When the State was invaded Mr. Fox was nowhere; he said nothing. On the contrary, Mr, McMichael, his sons in the service, aided with pen and voice in sustaining the Govern. meat. He gave his money for the support of the cause. Such is the man who should be mayor in place of him who raised no flag on his house until every one else complained about it—who would fill the places of honest men by bounty jumpers and deaerters. That Mr. McMichael was opposed to the interests of the workingman he denied. The men who had the welfare of the city and country at heart would vote for him as an honest, true Union man. The proper spirit was needed, .and with this the people would succeed in electing him by an overwhelming majority. They would never throw themselves into the chasm of Democratic misrule. Elect Fox and evil would predominate instead of good.; The other candidates were also adverted to, the speaker being being frequently interrupt ed by applause. Mr. F. Carroll Brewster followed, unmasking the Democratic party. The result of the grand struggle was being watched for with great in terest by many. There was one at Fortress Monroe, a certain Mr. Davis, for whom a yard or two of hempen rope was waiting. Perhat.a he thinks it might lessen the chances of the rope being tightened about his neck if the Democratic party succeeded. And that other good Democrat in Washington, now under going his trial, also wait s with intense interest. The incohereneies and misstatements of the Democratic party were next unmasked amid much, good humor. • Brigadier General McGrority, of Ohio, who has lost his arm in the service of his country, was the next Speaker. He had been one of Hooker's iromelaes, had entered the service in 1861 at the first call of the President, had buried two brothers, who lost their lives in the service of the country, and he bad fought the good tight, and kept the faith, although he entered the service. Sincelie had .put on the uniform he had been shot twenty-two times, The men who stood between freedom and slavery at Gettysburg, who climbed to the top of Lookout Mountain, and who marched from Chattanooga to the sea, will hoist the Union flag. They have found the party true to the country and the flag, and they will trust those men again. All they ask is that the widow and orphan of the fallen soldier shall be taken care of. The men did not go into the service for money, but for the defence of the Govern ment, given to her in trust to keep for the coming generations. Mr. Walter P. Mitchell said that though the rebels were cowed and their armies were whipped, yet the fight was not yet ended. But now the fight was against the Democratic pat ty. The country had been baptized in the blood of her honest sons, and now it Is for them to say again whether there is to be haw molly or not. Thepeople must not allow those who have no right to the suffrages of the citizens of Philadelphia, or allow aueh candi dates to disgrace our eity s that stands first in everything that is patriotic and loyal. Mr. John Goforth next spoke. He said that the cowardly hearts of the Democrats were as treasonable as they were a year ago, when they carried a banner through the streets bearing s, body of a jackass with the head of Lieutenant General Grant, and the isisetip tion " I fight for what pays the bests They do not say that now. Their cowardly lips do not speak the treason which is in their hearts. They voted against increasing the pay of the enlisted men of the army, and yet they have the impudence to ask the votes of those very soldiers. They are the same men that voted against allowing the use of the hall of the Senate at Harrisburg to Governor An drew Johnson, but now they are endeavoring to prove that they are his best friends. They are showing how they helped to crush the re hellion, much in the same way as the husband who hid himself while his wife killed the bear, and then boasted how he helped to kill. it. Col. Davis, the candidate of the Demoeracy, in his paper, the Doyleston Democrat, of August 18th, 1864, after heaping every vile epithet against Mr. Lincoln, cbarginghim with being the murderer of every Union soldier who lost his life in the war, as responsible for the mise riee of findersonville, and then speaks of him as scorned of man and accused of God. The dastard who would write that is unlit even to associate with the infamous Wire. The Democratic party had been crying out a great deal about negro equality and, negro suffrage, But the man who wore the army blue in the field and defended the cause of free government at the risk of his life, al though his skin was black, was more worthy, and to the loyal man, was whiter than the whitest traitor. After a glowing recital of the military set , vices of General Hartranft, which held theau dience spell-bounds the speaker retired amid loud applause. Ron. John Cessna was introduced, and ex premed his gratitude for the interest which the people were taking in the matter of the elec tion. It was not for himto speak of the merits of the candidates on the city ticket, for he did not know them well enough.. The issue of the eft? election was important. The outsiders were hungry, and Wore Wanting to get in and have anibble. The opposition are calling the city offices foul deri i i iii d they had headed their ticket with a en animal which had great partiality for any ling foul. [Laughter.] The influence that the result of the city elec tion - would have in the State was very great. The people in the interior look - with intense interest on the matter,and they rely upon q.• havincr a victory here, The country is looking upon ... for everything depends upon the result .there. If the great battle is lost here this fall, all that you have eentrih. uted to the Sanitary Commission is wasted. The great object of the people down South, to break up the Government, is not aban doned. They expect to send their represen tatives, such men as John Mosbyd an Wade Hampton, and to co-operate with a few North. ern rebels and repudiate the national debt, or saddle the rebel, war debt upon the people of the North. Whether they should succeed or not, depended upon the result of the election in October next. The meeting then adjourned with three cheers for the Union ticket. MEETING IN THE NINETEENTH WARD. A large and elithuSiastiemeeting of the 'Union Citizens of the Nineteeth ward was held. Mat evening at Germantown road and Morris street. Nicholas Shane, Esq., preSided, assist ed by a number of. Vice Presidents. Mr. John M. Carson offered the following resolutions ) which were adopted amid much cheering 1. Resolved, That the Union citizens of the Nine-' teenth ward are profoundly grateful to the God of nations for guiding and directing our Government through four years of terrible, sanguinary and fra tricidal strife and that under him film our thanks are due to the brave men of the army and navy who battled so varnantly and persistently fur the preser vation of our free government and its beneficent institutions; for crushing effectually and forever the monstrous rebellion created by a slaveholdtng aristocracy; for establishing, for all future time, our national Government on a firmer and nobler basis, and casting a lustre upon the American arms and character which will become brighter and purer as tbe nation grows older and greater. 2. Resolved, That despising treason and traitors as we heartily do, yet. with feelings of amnesty and reconciliation towards those who were our late open enemies, we despise and loathe now, and will in all coming time, the men who sought every opportunity to discourage our brave armies in the field who would have disfranchised the men who were strug gling for the preservation of our common country: who deprecated every Union victory and magnified every rebel success; who boldly and publicly de clared that the war was a miserable failure, and its only fruits " debt, slaughter, and disgrace.'' ' 3. Resolved, That American manufactures and productions should receive every encouragement and ample protection from the competition of for eign labor; and believing that lunch of our national debt is attributable to the conduct of some foreign nations in prolonging the rebellion by furnishing it material aid and moral encouragement, we do ear nestly ask that Congress, at its next session, will 50 adjust the revenue laws, particularly as applied to foreign imports, as to secure the amplest protec tion to the labor and industry of the country In all Its branches and thus compel our foreign friends to pay that Portion of the war debt With which they are justly c largeable. 4. Resolved, That the great and growing interests of the city of Philadelphia require that it should be gpverned by the same wise policy and principles that have Characterised Its administration during the pagt six years; and that In our well-known An low-ettlikn, Morton McMichael, we recognize one w h o i s i n every respect able and competent to ad minister the duties of the mike with which we hope to see him Invested. s. Resolved, That we cordially recommend the en tire Union ticket to the sintraxe of the people of the ward, and that We will all in cur power to secure Ilstire success at the coining election. Stunted addresses were made hy Col, Wm. F. Small, Hon.. Leonard Myers, Wm. S. Pierce, Col. William Nicholson, Morton McMichael, Esq.; Win. B. Mann l Esq., F. C. Brewster, Esq., and others. An excellent band was in attendance, and, taken altogether, the meetin was the largest and most enthusiastic ever Held in that por tion of the Nineteenth ward. MARYLAND roraTics.

D., then made an eloquent address. lie was hardly prepared to make an address, but agile had been connected with [Sunday-schools for forty years, he was always ready to speak upon that topic.

Heifer, Bev. W. Mallen, J. lA. Hicks, Rey. A. Johns, Gen. Chu. Albright, Rev. J. D. Curtis, Isaac D. Hamilton, Rev. J. Humphries. W. K. Rowley. SECRETARIES, T. A. Fernley, IT, r'• Hammersly, J. E. Salter, J. H. Thornley. Dr. Henry S. Hunt, from the Sunday-school convention of the State of Maryland was in troduced, and made a few remarks. Committees on business and resolutions were appointed, The Committee on Business reported the following topics for discussion by the mem bers of the convention: . . 1. By what means may our larger scholars be more generally retained in our Sabbath schools 2. How may the teachers in Our Sabbath schools be made more efficient in their work as teachers? 3. What eke-the qualifications of a successful Sabbath-school superintendent? 4. How may we more generally secure the attendance of OUT scholars upon. Divine wor ship? 5. /low can the great deqgn of Sunday schools—namely, the conversion of scholars— be best secured? c. What is the best order of exercises in con ducting a Sunday-school? 7. How shall the co-operation Of the older members of our church be secured in our Sab bath-school On motion, it was agreed that each speaker be confined in his remarks to live minutes on each topic, and that each subject be debated but half an hour. . . . The first topic was taken up. Rev. William L. Gray thought that the Sun day-school ought to be more thoroughly di vided. The older scholars should be kept %Part from the younger ones. There is not a well-defined line between modiunt and Older classes, as there should be. The most success ful schools in his district demonstrate the truth of his remarks. Rev. Wesley henney thought that the reli gious literature of Sunday-school libraries' should be adapted tO the mintlg of the older scholars. A literature, too, that would lead them to the cross ; without this all else fail, and by it scholars not only attach themselves to the Sunday-school but bind them to the church. Merely intellectual teaching vio)atee God's day. • E. J. Kenney, Esq., of Wharton-street Church, said that not more than sixty-Rye out of every hundred brought into the school were retained. We must have men and wo men to train them. The misfortune is that the education of the youth is left to incompe tent teachers, and they consequently wander away. Measures must be adopted to reach in telligent men, and bring them into the work. Rev. A. Attwood believed in kindness on the part of teachers. Cross, scolding, unkind piety don't make much impression. Rev. J. F. Crouch thought that there should be a written course of instruction to be placed in the hands of inexperienced teachers. Rev. A. Cookman Was in favor of multiply ing Bible classes and securing good teachers. Social influence should be thrown around Bible scholars. . . Rev. G. W. Lybrand thou - ght that the Ante nna of the seholars during the week should be 4 coked after. . . Thomas Dull, Esq., believed that one fault lay with pastors not ta'king proper interest in larger scholars. The secondtopie Was tahen up. Rev. G. D. Carter" thought that teachers should prepare beforehan their lessons. It requires as much study to teach one hour as to reach. J. H. Thornley, Esq., thought the firstgreat qualification Was that the teacher should be soundly converted to God. He Should prepare lessons through the week. J. Y. Ashton, Dr. McClintock, G. W. Thomas, Mr. McGill and Thos. Hun spoke in favor of a uniformcourse of study, and that the pastor should collect teachers once a week, or as often as possible. Adjourned, _Evening Session.—The convention met plur anent to adjournment, and was opened with prayer by Rev. J. D. Curtis, and with the sing ing of a hymn. On motion the sixth topic of discussion, How can the great design. of Sunday-schools, viz: the conversion of our scholars, be best secured was taken up. Revs. B. T. Strong, Alfred Cookman, A. Man ship, N. A. Horn, Esq., Rev. Joshua Turner, Rev. Samuel Grove, of Columbia ; Rev. Mr. Lybrand, Thee. T. ason, Rsq., Mr. Donnelly, Rev. T. C. Murphy, and others, spoke on the subject. They all agreed that there must be much personal piety in the hearts of the teachers; that they must converse with their scholars on matters of religion a short time at each session of the school ; they must pray with and for their scholars if they expect tosee them shining lights in their crown of glory. Sab bath-school prayer meetings, and a proper re ligious literature, were also advocated. Some ol the speakers said that the libraries of the school were filled with novels and lies, and no one could expect that 'anygood couldcome out of such books. Adjourned with.prayer and the benediction. it was announced that the meeting of the Sunday-school Scholars and teachers of the city would be held this afternoon at half-past three o'clock. METH. IN A POLICE STATION.—About raidniyit of Monday, Joanna Ilman was taken to the Twentieth ward Police Statio and aeon after gave birth to a male child. Testerday, mother and child were doing well. The hue. band of Mrs. Ilman is now in prison, upon the charge of desertin and neglecting to provide for her and four children. SLIGHT FIRES. —Yesterday' afternoon, about three o'clock, an alarm off re was occa sioned by the burning of an awning at 005 &tar ket street. At seven o'clock last evening a fire broke out in the boiler-room of Henry Dig tonla saw manufactory, 67 and 69 Laurel street, among a lot of shavings ; damage slight. • HEAVY Btroowity.,—The store of Mr. Hunsieker, 100 South Broad street, was robbed last Thursday week of $875 in money. The fixe-prop; were Kowa, open with powd,er. A HOUSE OF CORRECTION AND A POLICN COMM.—The great and pressing need of our city is a Douse of Correction, to which' persona may be remanded for such trivial crimes as do not warrant incarceration in the peniten tiary, and to which vagrants can also be con signed, and compelled to do something to wards earning a living for themselves. The police reports of our city, the dockets of the various committing' magistrates, and the records of the criminal courts, will 'show a vast number of petty eases, of larceny, as sault and battery—many of them not worth a hearing before a jury, and which are often dis missed with a flue, or even a reprimand. The judge, even should a verdict of guilty be ren dered, does not think it always necessary to consign these offenders to the county prison. For these petty grades of crime a acme of Correction would afford the best place of de tention. It should be a house of refuge .for adults. In the solitary cell, men get morose and moody, meditating fresh crimes on so ciety. There they are compelled to work, but it is in solitude; and the monotonous click cif the loom is almost the only sound they hear. To secure this desired end, let a large Insti tution be built, with proper safeguards against the escape of prisoners, and stocked with ma chinery, of various kinds. To such apiece let petty offenders and prisoners awaiting trial be committed, there to labor for their own good until they are discharged. Let the va grants who Ml the cells of the county prison be sent to such an institution and made to do their share of the work. Such a course would not only pay all the expenses of the institu tion, but would in time inure to the benefit of the prisoners. At present they are committed to the county prison, and there waste their time in comparative idleness. The convicts are employed in various ways, but, owing tO the limited nature of the work they can per form, the system is only sustained at large cost. Concerning the question of expense, there are those who wouldanaintain that the county has no wish to make a profitable speculation, 'and receive income from the result of the la bor of those the law has deprived of liberty. No one ought to take this view. The increased revenue would be a benedt to all. An institit. tion properly conducted, and filled as it would always be in a large city like our own, should always pay its own expenses, and afford a sur plus. This excess could be used as a fund to procure outfits for the discharged prisoners, and to provide each one with a small sum of ready money, to enable him to go to another locality, should he so desire. In this manner each would receive benefit. The county would be relieved of. a heavy annual expense, and the condition of the prisoners would be much ameliorated. - But to this there should be a companion re form. There should be established in the city a pollee court, which should have jurisdiction in the more trivial oases of assault and bat tery, and which should be empowered to com mit parties convicted before it for terms of Imprisonment not exceeding six months. This would vastly relieve the already over worked judges of the criminal courts, and enable them to transact the more important business with greater ease and despatch. Parties tried beret% sueh a court need not have a preliminary hearing before an alder man, but the trial could take place on origi nal appearance, or as soon after the arrest as proper. Important cases could be referred to the higher tribunal for adjudication. Such a plan would entail expense upon the city, but the advantages which would accrue from it would be so numerous that none would grumble. The office might be made elective, or the incumbent might be an appointee. The other courts, already burdened, would gladly hail a change that would relieve them in part from the drudgery and vexation attendant upon petty cases. Even should we not have a house of correc rection, we should have such a police court. The two systems would work well separately; but together they would work better. We should not be behind the age in anything that will tend to better the moral, mental, and phy sical condition of the prisoner. When society, in the exercise of its inherent powers, and for its own good, puts a restraint on the liberty of a man, it should make him some amends, and this is, perhaps, as good'a way in which it can be done. VISIT TO BISHOP STEVENS BY HIS CLER GT.—Yesterday morning the Episcopal clergy of this city and vicinity paid an official visit to their new Diocesan Rt. Her. William Bacon Stevens, D. D., who is now, by the death of Bishop Potter, the Bishop of the Diocese of Pennsylvania. As a recognition of their new relations, the clergy waited on the Bishop at his residence, where they were received by him in a most cordial manner. Her. Dr. Du cachet, chairman of the committee appointed for the purpose; submitted the following ad dress: REPSECTED AND BELOVED BISHOP : We have come to you to-day to welcome you as our Diocesan, and to take you to our hearts as OUT father in God. The occasion is to us both sad and pleasant. Sad, because it recals to us that venerated man who has passed away, and whose place you now occupy; and pleasing, because we thankfully , recognize in you, ha his successor, one to whom we Can transfer our Confidence, and who, we believe, will worthily Supply his place at the head of this import ant Diocese. You have been called, in the providence of God, to a imst of vast re sponsibility, of arduous labors, and unbeas mg Cares; and, knowing as we dO, the power of sympathy, we are forward to tender you Ours, as your brethren in the minis try, and those who have been committed to your oversight, as their chief pastor. In your wearisome journeys, in your perplexing de+ liberations, be assured that our hearts Will be with you, and that our prayers shall ascend to God, that He will bless, preserve, and keep you ; that He will give yen strength equal to your day, and grace to discharge, with success and usefulness to His church, your appointed obligations. As your lamented predecessor was honored universally by his nook, so may you be; and may his mantle and spirit (a prayer in which we know you will be only too ready to join) fall upon you! As your presby ters, we offer you our fealty; and, as your brethren in the Lord, our affectionate regard and sympathy. And, as years roil by, may they Had the bond which unites us only strengthening, as we labor together in one common cause, the glory of God, under one "Head, Jesus Christ our Lord, and anointed by one spirit, the. spirit of Holiness and Power. H. W. Due/Loge; • EDWARD LOIINSBERRV, ROBERT G. CHASE, 0. B. KEITH, JAMES W. Rosins. The Bishop eloquently replied. He alluded in touching language to his distinguished and venerated predecessor, of whom he spoke as being immeasurably' above himself in all his gooand great qualities. He was gratified at the cordial Manner in which the clergy of tho Diocese had tendered their sympathy and Purl port, and hoped that their future relations might be as pleasant and profitable as they had heretofore been. lsill: then united in devotional exercises. Tbe hymn, "Come, holy spirit," was sung, and the benediction pronounced by the Bishop. An interchange of courtesies followed, and the assemblage dispersed. FIRE AND Iscortnner AL/mu—Tester. day morning, about one o'clock, an alarm of fire, first distriet, sOuthweat,twaS Struck, and the signal box struck one hundred and twen -six. That box is stationed at the house of Fire Mamba Blackburn. He was surprised at the appearance of so marry companies in front of his house, as his box had not been struck. A light was seen in the neighborhood of the arsenal, and another in a southerly direction. , The firemen ran to both. The lire near the arsenal turned out to be some barrels burning in honor of an Irish wedding, and that down south was a brick shed in We Neck. It was subsequently ascertained, however, that the alarm was given from box twenty-nine, at the Niagara Hose house, and the operator at,the central station had made a mistake In conse quence of the indistinct registering of the numbers on the telegraphic paper. The fire was in the stable of Marshal Dowling, at Trout and Barron streets,in the Fourth ward. Dam age trilling. _ ARRIVAL OF THE U. S. SCHOONER A.R LETTA.—The IT.

Court of Quarter Nesoclons—lion. James B. Ludlow, Associate Justice. [William S. Mann, Esq., District Attorney.] CAMEL/NG CASE. In the case of WM. WM charged with keep ing a gambling house, D_ W. O'Brien. Esq., in formed the court that Dr. Gilbert was now in at tendance. The doctor testified that Trimlny was under medical treatment, and was now out of his room contrary to his advice as a medical man. lie should be at home in a dark room, or lie would lose his eye. The trial of Wimiey was under these Or cumatarices peat paned. Mr. Hungecker represents the prosecutor In the case: DISTRESSING CASK AND . SINGULAR" CONDUCT or A A novel and distressing case was tried, in which a girl, sixteen years of age; charged a- boy, of about the same age, with rape. The girl lived at service, and went out on a Sunday evening, In. July last, in company with another girl, seventeen years of age. Another boy andgirl were met with, and the party proceeded to a brick-yard, in.the western part of the city. It is here where the alleged outrage- was perpetrated, the girl testifying that she was twice outraged by the prisoner. She cried murder the first time, when the 'girl with her placed her hand over her mouth, and held it there until the act was accomplished. After sitting 217111 talking some time with the girl the proseentrix alleges she again aided the boy. On this occasion she gave no-alarm; be cause she was too weak to do so. The girl under went a searching cross-examination, denying , ever having frounented churches on. Broad street during evenings, for improper purposes. The father testified to finding the girl in prison on Monday, and after taking her out she told him of the outrage; she was so weak thatshe could scarce ly walk. Mr. Cassidy, for the defence, stated that he- had Witnesses to prove the bad character of the glitand the good character of his client..lle would simply call the officers who arrested the girls, as he did'not desire the character of these girls should be• any farther blasted than they bad already been, Policemen Carroll and (hilly testified that- they meta girl at 3 o'clock In the morning who.said.that some girls in the brick-yard had her clothing; - they went towards the brick-yard an d heard the voices of males and females laughing and talking; as they neared them the prosecutrix and another girl ran and were caught a half-square off; the boys,. or men, darkness flcould not be distinguished which in the arkness, fled; on the girlsteing caught they were asked what -they were, doing with those men they both denied being with the men, and were taken to the station house; the following morning they were brought before the alderman, and they asked him-if he was going to send them to the house of refuge; he said he mip lit do so, and they said that was. just where they wanted to go. The girls were walked to the station.nouse, a con siderable distance from the place of arrest, but neither complained of. any weakness. The father of the girl said lie haul to pay the alder man who committed her $3.50;- the charge against her being out after hours. Mr. Mann now said that he was free to say that no . rape bad been proven. This had no doubt been a very distressing case to the parents of the children. Judge. Ludlow charged the Jury at some length, reviewing the evidence given, and said it was cer tainly a.weak case: The bill of indictment was handed to the jury who hesitated, notwithstanding the abandonment of the case by the Commonwealth. Mr.-Cassidy arose and demanded that his *it nesses'be heard, as there was a hesitancy-on the part of the Jury to act as promptly as was expected. Judge Ludlow said that could not be done, as the case was closed. The Jury then retired, and had not come into court at the Dour of allouramout. Rvvs;~;a~a.~:~ ~~.v : a:~:a~~rw~~:iAn~.y:~:s;:.r~~~wi:r;aA The case of Thos. J. Wolfe, charged with false pretence, was now called. Eleven jurors were se lected, and then the _panel was exhausted, two juries being out. Mr. F. C. Brewster was willing to let the case go over, Mr. Cassidy, who prosecuted, opposed this. After considerable sparring between counsel, Judge Ludlow asked what was desirable to be done. Mr. Cassidy asked that the case be tried according to law, and a special venire issue. Mr. Brewsterwas agreed to go to trialwith eleven jurors. Judge Ludlow. Gentlemen, I will settle this im mediately. Mr. Clerk send for the Sheriff. In a few minutes the wheel was brought into court, and the amiable Sheriff soon afterwards ap peared and drew the necessary names. from the wheel. He was requested by the court to make re turn this morning at ten o'clock. " The eleven jurors weke charged not to converse about the ease, and discharged tilt this morning. The juries in the case of R. L. Curry and others, charged with conspiracy, who went out at noon on Monday, and the other case referred to, were still out when the court adjourned. GEORGE. M.

He said that he had not hired the cabman, but Brown had; lie didn't know where they met him or where they had been driven to, bat they had b chared live dollars. There was nothing to be made out of this witness, and the other native of the sandy soil was placed upon ed stand. dlie hadn't hired the cabman, but that his friend bad, and was not able to tell any more about the matter than his fellow countryman, ex cept that they were to be driven for an hour and then put out, and that the charge was to be a dollar an hour.

They were riding about for some four hours and linallybrought up at a hOUCe in BMtsora street. They refused to Settle the bill, were arrested and taken before Al. derrnan Moore.
