Nary, describing and offering for pnblic examination and adoption an InTentlonof hie wblch be considers effective. The abject was referred to Mr. Tatbam and a select committee, with Instructions to examine Into the various inventions for saving life at sea, and re- ' port. A communication from the Chamber of Com merce of New Orleans, and one from O. J. Field and John A. Strother, soliciting the co-operation of the Board in procuring governmental aid in re building tbe Mississippi levees protecting the Yastoo valley, was refeired, together with a paper from the Albany Board of Trade urging the sub stitution of tbe cental or hundred weight for the bohel In purchases and sales of grain. Mr. Fraley, from tbe Committee on Inland Transportation, offered tbe following report and retolution, which were respectively accepted and adopted: To tbe Executive Conneil of the Philadelphia Board of Trade: The Committee on Inland Transportation, to which was referred the application of the Directors cf the Ycomloo and Poootnoke hull road Company, erklog the aid of the Bo.rd of Trade In procuring subscriptions to the Siock of said Oooipaur, respeot folly report: That they have given consideration to said applica tion, and have endeavored to obtain inch In ornittlon n tbe snlject as wonld guide to a correot i idgmxnt. Tbey find the statistics given by tbe officers of tbe Company coi firmed by their inquiries; and that there are also large quantities of lumber and itonoreon I be route t f tbe proponed road that miy be calculated on for additional trnnege.

In wagons. The lily of Philadelphia formerly had considerable transactions with tbe n ercbants and people of that paitof Maryland, and it is a'nioxt certain that the construction of the proposed railroad would again bring a large share of their tiade aud business back to us. The amount tbey require to secure the completion of their road Is not large, and we think the r ' prise woi thy ef tbe aid of onr merctmnt and manu ' rers. We accordingly submit tbe folowtng resolution: Resolved, lhat in the opinion of the Executive Council of the Philadelphia Board of Trade, tbe con struction of the Yoomico and Poooraoke Hull road will be of benefit to the trade and basinets of the city, and tbey therefore recommend suhsciiptions to Its stock y our merchants and niauutaoturers.

THB FHILADKLPUIA HORTICULTURAL SO- cibty. Though the month of December la not a month in which flowers and frqlts are in profuse abundance, there was nevertheless a very inter esting exhibition last night, at the regular meeting of tbe Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Tbe principal contributions were rare exotics, cnt flowers, table designs and hanging vases, Fiears, apples and winter vegetables. The crown og glory of the numerous pear family exhibited, was tbe contribution of Mr. W. V. Fettit, a resi dent ot Cbesnut street, above Fifteenth, in whose garden stands a tree bearing fruit whose average weight is three-quarters of a pound, and which, in tbe absence ot any other name, has ben termed tbe Miles pear. This fruit can be kept through the entire winter, and yet has nil tbe mushy smack and tbe vinous flavor of the pears that ripen In August. Tbese Niles pears received a special pre mium. There was another fine collection also ex hibited from the grounds of the late Mr. Baxter, Fourth and 'Washington streets. Of apples tbe display was very fine. The exhi bition would have been much larger but that the society is waiting for the completion of the new hall, and until it is finished a good many persons are withholding their contributions. Where all were so meritorious it would be inviduous to par ticularize. Tbe apple crop of this State has been made a feature of its productive capacity, and the time la probably not remote when every tree in the State, instead of bearing fruit whose juices re quire no more elaboration than is necessary for the cider vat, shall yield choice grafted fruit. There was a Hue display of cut flowers last evening. Mr Keivicgton, llo: 1st, of West Phila delphia; Henry A. Dreer, Esq., Cbesnut street, and various other cultivators of flowers, exhibited an array of bouquets and baskets of flowers that very decidedly pleased the lady visitors. Taken as a Whole, though occurring in mid-December, the exhibition was very creditable to the society. At the business meeting last night a very liberal schedule of premiums was adopted, to be awarded at the spring exhibition, to be held in the new hall on tbe 5ih, Oih and 7th of June next, at which time a floral bazaar will be held by the ladies ot the So ciety. It will open on the 29 b. of May, and will ' no doubt be a very beautiful display of their handi work. Tbe entire proceeds of the fair will be de voted to the frescoing and decorating of the new hall. Death of a Prominent Citizen. Mr. Edward C. Dale, President of the Norristown and Germantown Railroad, and Vice-Presideut of the Franklin Fire Insurance Company, died at his residence, In Spruce street, near Twelfth, . i ! ' r u..-.. T iif veBterutty uiurmiiK, utter a unci muuss. mi. Dale lelt tbe office of the Franklin Iuaurance Company on Monday afternoon, feeling u.i well. He rode to Twelfth and Spruce fctreets, and fell to the pavement before reaching his home. He - was taken up in an insensible condition, and died, while in that state, about seven o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Dale was well known throughout our city as one of the early Presi dents of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company, and also as Direc X. tor of the Mint during the administration of Mr. Fillmore. - - V- Compliment AitY DiNNEB to thb Judges. Last evening, at a meeting of the Philadelphia Bar, held in the Supreme Court-room, a com mittee of twenty-live was appointed to make arrangements for a complimentary dinner by tbe Bar to the Judges ot the Supreme Com t ol " Pennsylvania, of the Distajct Court, Court of , ... Common Pleas, and the Judges of tbe United States Court tor this District. Tbe 8th of Janu ary was fixed as the time, and it was resolved .. to limit the eubscribers to tbe dinner to tbe resident members of the Philadelphia Bar, and to restrict the invitations to the Judges named. The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. A Habd Road to Tratel. Ridge avenue, from Twenty-second street to Washing- 1 ton lane, Is In a very dilapidated condition, and almost impassable at times tor vehicles. Coun cils some months since passed an ordinance directing that the footways be curbed and paved, but for some reason or other the work has not yet been done. The roadway Is piked, and its condition is owing to the neglect of the turn pike company, which still charges toll on till vehicles passing over it. Penalty on Delinquent Tax-Payers.

A delegation of fire men from Norlolk, Va., was In thiB city yester day, for the purpo-e of purchaslne a hteatn fire enfrine. From them we learned that there are but two fire companies in Norlolk, one of them being a xteatn-eLgine company. CAMDEN AFFAIRS. Gang of Tckves Broken Up. For some time past, our citizens have been annoyed by ihe depredations of some putties unknown breaking into their house, and curry inn oil' every thing that wan portable. Tne oflicers have been tn the alert, and have gradually captured the gang, one by one; but lat evening they cap tured two. more, and, us far aa can be ascer tained, there is only one" leJVand hopes are entertained of Lis speedy capture. Cn Monday eveninir, Mr. lavld HammiU'snieat shop was broken into and a quantity of provi sions and clothinsr was carried oil. In the morn ing one oi Mr. llanimill's employes went Into the shop to pet the wngon loaiicd' for market; but not finding tbe rabbits and ducks, ake l him "what he had done with them?" lie replied, "They were in the fhop;" but on examination, they were not to be found. They then made an examination of the premises, and discovered that the door had been pried open. Mr. Haaiiuill aid nothing, but went to his htail in the Filth street market. He had been there about an Lour, when two Ger mans came along aud otlercd him some ducks for sale. Immediately recognizing them as h.s piopcrty, he secured one of them; but the other made tracks lor parts unknown. He gave his name as John Schmidt, and was taken to Cam den and locked up. In the evening, ollicers at the Htution Houte were informed that the other iellow was at a tavern at the coiner of Fourth and Market streets. Officer Jauntry und two otheis immediately went to the place in ques tion, and secured him. When brougnt before the Mayor he was questioned aud cross-questioned by his Honor, so lhat, in agliort 6pace of time, he involved himself in such a web that he could not extricate himself lrom it. He gradually, but- unconsciously, implicated hunscll m all the robberies that have been com mitted in the neighborhood for the past two weeks. Upon searching him a counterfeit fifty cent note was found, which he said he had had lor six months. He had well provided himself tor the winter in the clothing line, as he had on six shirts, two pairs of unmentionables, two coats, three pair ofj stockimrs, and one vest. He wus committed to the lock-up for the night. He gave his name as George Harman, and says ho hails from Baltimore. The other man was equal y well provided with clothing. He had on five shirts, three pair of pantaloons, two coals, one vest, and four pair of stockings, and uuder all had an alpaca coat. Tbese sume men broke into Officer Hawkins' shed and- stole a table covering an l a pair of gum shoes. Harman acknowledged selling thecover for $110. The hat which he wore was recognized as belonging to Captaiu Jones, w hose house they had entered on Satur day last and carried off sundry articles amount ing to $250, among which was a box of a fine brand ot cigars, which were round in both of the prisoners' pockets, reduced to smoking tobacco. Both of the parties will have a bear ing belore the Mayor to-day. (iteat credit is due to the Camden police force for the admirable manner In which they etlected the capture of these two men, and for breaking up the gang. Odd-Fellows' Hall. This hall has un dergone a sudden metamorphose, aud Camden can now boast of one of the 6 nest and largest hall in the State. The main entrance is on Market street.wheretwo large mahoaany folding doors debar the entrance of the too eager crowd ta witness what is transpuing in the room above. When they are thrown open, we ascend a flierht of steps, and aie immediately ushered into the room. We are astonished, at first, to see the hall so well lichted, and on looking to tee Irom whence the light comes, behold eight chande liers, with three gas jets on both sides of the room. Glancing at the walls, we perceive they are coated with a flesh colored plaster, which, when contrasted with the jets, presents a ve:y beautiful etlect. Looking towards the Fourth street end, we behold a stage, tbe dimensions of which are thirty-four by thirty six feet. The front is shaped like a semicircle, with a door at each Bide. Over the doors, and running the entire width of the room, is beautiful fresco work. The entrance to this part ot the ball is on Fourth street, and Is exclusively for the artists. Having finished our examination of tbe main hall, we next come to the ante-rooms, two in number, on tbe same floor, which we find tilted up in good style, being amply supplied with closets, cloak wardrobes, and washing apparatus. Over head we find two more, which are tbe supper-rooms. The length of the hall, Including the space oc cupied by the stage, is one hundred ana twenty feet, and the width tbirty-ix. The room will be furnished with portable settees', aud everything that will tend to the comfort of the audience and the performers, or whoever may occupy the hall for a short season, is insured bv the propri etor. The gas-tJxtures were furnished by Messrs. Cornelius & Baker, of your city, and the plumb ing was done by Mr. Mooney, of this city. To Mr. Morgan, the enterprising owner of the property, the citizens are deeply indebted tor suppljine ihis great desideratum. The hall will bo formally opened this evening, by a grand concert given for the benefit of Caarles Dre, and we hope to see it tilled to overllowiug with our citizens participating iu the opening. An Attempt to Break Jail. On Satur day last Officer Jauntry received information that certain prisoners were going to leave the County Prison surreptitiously, and he informed Sheritl Sharp of the fact, who Immediately made ni PYflminniinn nTtho i..il ai fmnil .mn Af i. hnrs KAU'eri tn flnrh An avt.int tliat it easily wrested from its place, and easy access could be bad to iho court-yard, alter enterlner wuicu tut: persuuB iiueinpuiig to escape would hA arnt Iron. 1 hr,nn imnltrairl nm w . . ... . . i n rcio i in in :u i - attly placed in irons, and their little game was i -not -uli.fl Mi.t JVi.. 4i 1..

Last night $1300 were stolen from a drawer in the Camden Woollen Mills. The thieve got upon the root, and opened a trao-door, and thus obtained access to the room in which the money was kept. A man and a woman were captured by Officers Ayers and Hankius, who saw them ou the roof, but no money was in their possession. When found they were in their stocking feet. The police made a thorougn search of the premises, aud arreted auotber man on suspicion. The tiio were locked up in the county jail to await an investigation. Tbe Soldiers' Monument. This monu ment to the memory of tbe honored deal who lo8t their lives iu the defense or their country's flag was yesterday surrounded with an iron fence, and now presents a hand.-ouie appear ance. The monument is well worth a visit, and those who do stop to take a glance at it are well satisfied, and go ou their way rejoiilna that there are some at leust in this city who honor the memory of our brave boys. , , Faik.
