TBI GBKAT RAILWAY BVTt. j Kibi Pmcs Court Judg Rear!, Pennnyl aula Railroad et al versus Atlantic and Grout Western Railroad. Mr. Gibbons resumed , his artrnment this morning. The defendants have complaiaed that the Secretary of the Common Health refused to tile in his otlicc a copy of their agreement, and they have admitted that he re in sel to do so on the pround that he could not see the authority whereby such agreement was made. They furthermore admit that tho Attorney-General instructed the Secretary not: to place It upon his file. If the ajrrecment was lawfully made, could these Plate officers have rctnsed to diflcliarpe their duties in respect to it F What the Atlantic Road wonted to eil'ect was to consolidate their railroad with railways; in New Yoik and Ohio, with which they were then in working conncctim. They wanted the exclu jsiveriRbt, and they have not quite accomplished it, although they have secured much ingenious legislation. Tho Attorney-General very properly could ee no authority lor opening our territory to foreigners, and allowing their exclusive con trol of a rond lroni the city ol Dayton, in Ohio, to the city of New York. . ! I nnderstood Juue Church to ?ay that they they had no remedy at all in a case like this, where the Secretary of tho Commonwealth re fused to file their ap-eement. In 60 binnev, 87, it was held that where a ministerial act is to be done, and there is no other specific remedy, a mandamus will be prantcd to do the act re- Suirtd. So the defendants had. a remedy at and if they sustained any injury. The third section of trie act of consolidation Irovlde that the Atlantic and Great Western tallroad Company shall have the same rights and privileges, ami be subject to the game re strictions and liabilities, ax were the original companies before consolidation. In otder words, When the Atlantic Company ot Western Penn sylvania becomes consolidated with the Atlantic Comnony of New York, the chartered privileges granted by the New York Legislature to the corporation of that Blate are adopted as the law ol Pennsylvania, and in like manner, under the provisions of this most extraordinary act, we import from the State of Ohio the legislation of that Common wealth, aud make it part of the law ot this State! Was there ever seen such reckie-s legislation as this? Was. there ever a greater intrineemeat upon the rights of this Commonwealth ? I say, your honor, that there is no suchrorpo ration in existence in' Pennsylvania as the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, for their act of consolidation distinctly says, that a copy of the act shall be tiled in tho ollice ot the Secretary, with his seal attached, "which shall bo the evidence ot the existence of this corporation." Jly learned friends say we havo brought suit against the Atlantic and Great Western Com pany, thus recogtiizina its existence. We admit the existence of tho company, but not as a cor poration known to the law. It is merely a copartnership. i My learned friend has urged that our allies are the New York and Erie Road, and that we have discriminated against Philadelphia and in favor Of New York, in our rates of toll. To show how much of a Philadelphia institution is the Atlan tic and Great Western Railway, I will produce the Money Market Review, of November 23, 18t!., published in London (twenty-Cve days after tho execution of this , lease and . contract with the Catawissa road, in order to form, ac cording to the language of The lease "a great through route to the city of Now York"). You will hnd there an article about petroleum. It contains among other things the exports from New YorK for 1862-3-4. You might read it through without mispecting the existence of such a place as Philadelphia. Mr. Gibbons also quoted a speech of Sir Mor ton Peto at a London banquet, contained in the same paper, wherein Pennsylvania and her in terests are entirely ignored, and Sir Morton states that the Atlantic Comoany sustain th most amicable relations with the New York and Erie Kailroad. 5 ' The Reading Railroad Company have come into Court, petitioning to be admitted as the ally of this London monopoly. They attack the Pennsylvania Railroad. They assume to be the protector and patron of Philadelphia. Yet there is not a manufacturer in Philadelphia who is not compelled to pay tor his coal two dollarc per ton i more than Us legitimate value. And those two dollars go into the treasury of the Reading Rail' road Company, ; I shall conclude my argument with summing rip the points I hive endeavored to cstablish:-r-First. That tho contract between the Sunbury1 and Etie and the Catawissa roads, containing a grant of the franchises of the former Company is not in its nature assignable t any corporation. Second. That the Catawissa road, having volun tarily divested itself of its railroad and rolling stock, has by that act divested itself of all rights under the contract. Thud. That this Court has jurisdiction to restrain the assignment, and direct the cancellation of the contract. Fourth. .That the lease between the Catawissa and At lantic roads is ultra vires. ' . , Mr. Cuyler then assumed the duty of'conclud Jng the argument for the plaintiffs. He argued ' that the main point involved in the Suit wa as to the validity of this lease between the Cftta-',-wissa road, and the Atlantic and Great Western : road, and Western Central roads. He maintained that it was invalid, because no such corporation exists in this Commonwealth as the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company. Where is the evidence of its existence? They cannot produce any, except an affidavit that their charter was not tiled away in the State archives. District Court, No. 2 Judge Stroud. Ange lina Palethorp, trustee of the estate of John II Palethorp, deceased, vs. Gustavus Borgnerand Christian Muchleck. now or lute trading as Berir ner & Muchleck. This was an action to recover damages for the alleged violation of a enrtain agreement for the leasing of Military Hall, in jjiDrary street, in tnis city, oy piaintin to tneue' Tend ants.' It is alleeed by the plaintiff that on the 8th of June, lboj, tne uciendauts entered into an atrree nient ith her for the leasing of Military Hall at tne annual rem oi jiiauu per. annum, tor tne penoa or nve years, with the privilege ol a ten years' lease at the bame rent, provided, however. certain improvements, renaipj. etc.. were made. done, and paid for by the defendants, nnd the nrst two siorics oi tne Diuiumg were Drought out to tne line ot tne Mercantile Library Build' mg on tho same street. Under this agreement it Ls alleired that tho do fondants entered into the nonsessiou of Military Hall, and still continue in possession, but have neglected and retused to bring out the first two stories ot the building to the line ot the Moican tile Library. ' Hence , the present' action for damages. The cae is on trial. The defense had not opened when we were obliged to close our report. R. Palethorp and George M. Wharton. Escis.. for plaintiff.

The Nashville Union publishes tho following note lrom Governor Brownlow: "Nashville, January 11. Editor of tho Nash ville Union: In your issue of this morning you give an extract from a letter to a Philadelphia )lyx:k , W 1 ILIA 11 liU'U i wiimii, - i p Dvuuiu me as having written several letters to Washing ton, onnosius the admission of the Tennessee members to their seats.

" Counterfeiting. -This morning 'the Court returned tho case of two men named Brown pnd lleckel, who stand charged with having been engaged in pasaing counterleit money to a large extent. At the time ot arrest a considerable amount of spurious notes was found upon them, and in close proximity where tbe the , arrest took place, some tx or seven hundred dollars of -the. same notes were found where they had evidently thrown them away, knowing that it taken with these bllH in their possession, tho evidence against them would be to strong as not to admit of a single' doubt. In their trial before the court the evi dence ivas unmistakably strong, and the pnosccu lor omitted nothing which could in anywise, tend to strengthen tho testimony adduced, although' the opposing counsel employed every legal point and technicality of evidence to prevent a convic tion. After tbe closing of the evidence aud pleadings on both fides, The Judge charged the jury in a very pointed and able manner, setting forlh every point of law and evidence bearing upon the 'case, and showing the evils arising from violation! of law prohibiting ;tke issuing and circulating of coiinteifeit bills. The Jury fhcu retired, end hud not returned with tueir vercticl up (' the time ot the present writing. For several months past an unusual amount of counterfeit money ha been circulating in Cam den and the adjoining villages, consisting ) of fractional currency anil notes ot various de scriptions, which have been so well executed that most people have been deceived by them. Tho officers of the law have been vigilant In ferret ing out the ollenders, and it is quite possible that the two men above mentioned have been largely engaged in the business. Railroad vx Camden. A number of wcrilthyand Influential gentlemeuinCamdeu have formed an association lor tho purpose of build ing a uorse car railroad in camdeu, extending from Cooler's to Kaighn's Point, through, seve ral of the most prominent streets. They will obtain a charter at the present session ot the Legislature, and the work of construction will commence at. the early opening of spring. Tho beginning of thm road will be only the com mencement of. enterprise in that line, as a num ber of others are contemplated, omj wi.l speedily be ftarted. These roads cannot fall to be of great advantage to the citizens of Camden, and win contribute in no small degree to tne ad vancement oi tne citv. Crowded.

"A - Needy. Case." In nearly all the papers of yesterday th local columns contained tbe following: "A Needy Case." It gave an account of an aged woman who had fallen on the ieo and broken her leg. "Her husband was a soldier in the war of 1812, and her two sons lought in the Union army during the late Rebel lion. ' bne was soiiciung looci when tno accident happened." This morniug we visited tne caso, ana report as lonows: ' Alter much dilliculty found No. 6 Maynard s court. Found that tho poor woman livod in tne isarri t, but tne siarrs were to narrow ana dark that tbe woman below said I must get a candle, though it was then 10 A. M. While pre paring to ascend, a gentleman wno resioies- in tne neighborhood, and who had visited and relieved her the day before, enters, and kindly oilers hii escort. We light our wax caudles, and ascend -up, up those narrow, winding, rickety stairs to a Philadelphia-garret. ' Wo had neith'T absorbents nor repellents with us, but on entering the room we had to beat a hasty retreat till tho old gentleman tbe husband ot the disabled woman put up tne window, and admitted a little oxygen, me poor old woman wiw lying" on something like a straw mattress, on the lloor, almost destitute ct personal or bed doming, it was macca a trying case. Her aged husband a nice man was her onlyinure. ' We wound our way with our providential companion and our lighted tapers down stall's; came to the City Pastor's, selected clothing suitable for the case, and are now, in company with Mrs. City Pastor, sett'na out with our bun dles, etc. A more wretched looking location is not in Philadelphia. Yet thii garret was neat and as clean as we could, under the circum stances, expect it to be. Any special contribu tions sent, lor the reliof of this case to City Pastor will be Judiciously applied. This is a good sensatmuil story, and yet it does not compare with the touching, tender, pathetic hundreds ol cases that call at City Pastor's house, and come daily under our observation. The pcor lonely widow still, iu many oases. young in years, with a large family of small children, ana no woric nungry, com, naxea, and jet nice, modest, bashful, tearful is the most touching, if not tho most needy case. This is the class that needs special attention, and this class is numerous. Let them have our aid. our svmoathy, a3 well as these extreme cases. Nay more, tor more de serving far arc tliey. Yours, etc., Miss II. M., Agent and Assistant Superintendent of Supplies and UiBtribution lor "Pity Pastor." Anotheh Disttjebance. This morning about 4 o'clock a general imeiee occurred at the well-known Antietam Saloon, on Ninth street. just below Market. A dance was going on, when n row was suddenly Kicked up, ana in tne tracas the bartender was seriously injured by a' blow irom one oi tne party, lie was strucic upon tne head with a billy by some of the rioters. ine Antietam is one oi tne most pestilent dens of infamy which exist in our city; It is wretches of both sexes, and between midnight and dawn it disgorges its lotil habitues upon the street, who render the air heavy with obscenity and prolaneness. It is a loc;dity that disgraces the city, ouends the moral teeungs ot taose resi dent in theimracdiat3 neighborhood, and is well worth the attention of Mayor M'Michael and the Chief ot Police. We did not learn whether there were any arrests made, but Irom the vi'jor with which the officer sprung bis rattle we ima gine that some of the rascals must have come to grief. If so, we hope they will receive iheir just reward. Presentation of a Thompet. The handsome silver lire-trumpet voted for at St. Joseph's Fair, aud won by the Hibemia Engine Company, was presented to the Comoany last evening, at the residence of Mrs. George Ed wards, to whose charitable labors much of the success ol the Fair was ilue. Hie trnmper was m-esenled bv Hev. Father Blenkimor). and re ceived on behalf ot tho CouiDany by Colonel James Page, Robert Tempest, Esq., and John R. Dowuiii!;, Esq., the President, Vice-President, and Secretary. A tiua entertainment followed. The occasion altogether was a most pleasant and interesting one. , A New CouNTEiiif kit, Captain Franklin, of the United States Treasury Department, has detected a new twentv-tive cent fractional cur rency note.
