VEN1MO TBLEOBAPB SPECIAL COKBICSPOlf DENOE. St. Louis, Mo., April IS. A man in Philadelphia would naturally sup pose, when he Is conversant with the faot that most of tho meat which he cats comes from the West, that the price of that article at. a piaoe as far west as St, Louis wonld be considerably cheaper than at Philadelphia or New York, Such, however, Is not the case. Living here is more expensive than In any of the Eastern cltlec; and if I am to believe what the butchers Bay, and I have no good reason to doubt thorn, cattle are more scarce. Why this should be the cose I am at a loss to know, although I have bad the matter explained to me, I am not, however, satisfied with tho explanation. It is a notorious faot, and one which our com mon scliool books teaeli us, that the couutry mii-roundlng this city abound in everything that usually tends to cheapen the food ooiu monly consumed by mankind. Prairies aiioimd in all directions, which are covered with the most, luxuriant grass: it Is only for the farmer to turn his stock out, and reap the harvest ot their multiplicity. Willi these ad vantages at bund, it appeals very singular that meat should be sold comparatively deurer here than a thousand miles further irom where it Is raised; but yet such is the IhcU To those who liuve paid freight over the railroads from jthla section to Buy one of the Eastern cities, tuls will appear still more aslontsuing, because It Is reasonable to suppose that cattle raised wllliln a hundred miles of Si. Louis should be sold as cheap, or cheaper, over a thousand miles oil' than they are at the very doors of the producer. The prices of living In this nlty are, to the eyes ol a man from the Eust, the most extrava gant, I mny call it extortionate. ;a. single room, very modently iuriilshed, in almost any part of the town, will cost from twenty to fifty dollars per mouth; and to gel a meal of limited pro portions cosis, at the least estimate, lifty cents, and everything elte in proportion. Flour ranges up among tne teens, and wheat and all other grains fetch prices which, to the mind of a man who has merely looked at the situation of St. Louis on the map, und sained iils'kuow lerge of it irom the geographies, is truly astonishing. It mny be a land of milk and honey, and I have no doubt but that it is. Let this be ns it may, those who ' hirst for the lacteal fluid will find that it must be paid far in good round prices. This "state of the markets" is peculiar to St. Louis, and the reason assigned Is, that this city being one of the most Important, and no doubt the largest supply depot for the Mississippi Valley, is constantly drained of Its breadstuff and other provender. There is no accumula tion; everything is bought up as fast as it comes into the market by the merchants doing business In the different cities, and what is left Is sold to the home consumers at whatever prices the commission men choose to ask. Another reason is, that the railroad facilities connecting the city with the back country are Inadequate to supply the fast dem-.ind; hence the prices keep pretty much at a stand still. Contrary to expectations business at present Is dull, but notwithstanding this fact the city Is filled with strangers. Tne burning of the Llndcll Hotel has caused quite a vacuum In the first-class accommodations for travellers, and Its loss is severely felt by the business men of St. Louis. I have understood that there is a movement on foot to rebuild this house, or one like It, which is likely to be successful. It Is proposed to erect the newhouseon Washington avenue, somewhere in the neighborhood of Eleventh or Twelfth street. The ".Southern," aitnougn a amaner noiei man tne "Liii dell," is doing the leading business, and is one of the finest arranged and best-managed houses, with the exception of tne table, In the country. Thousands of emigrants are passing through this country almost dally, und I notice a num ber of Penusyl vanians among them. They are all accompanied by troops of children, and are fitted out with the evident intention of "seek ing their fortunes" In the WeBtern wilds. The Congressional buff ilo limit, which has been advertised to come off at an early day, Is exciting considerable attention In this section. The gentlemen will be accompanied part of the way on the l'lains by a large number of troops under the command of Major-General Augur. This expedition Is one of tne most important that has been started out in the Indian country for some years, and will traverse much of the country heretofore but little trod by the foot of a while man. Late news from General Hancock'sexpedltion to the Sioux country informs us that Ihe ex peti tion has been successful In finding and giving battle to the Indians. In every case the iroops have met with marked success. Considerable trouble, however, Is apprehended before the Indians can be brought to terms. The great land case of Maguire vs. Tyler has Just been decided. Involving u million of dol lars of property In this city.

CITY INTELLIGENCE. ffO ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS BEE THIBD FAGS. Two Love Cases Blighted Aspirations aud rnnpoHAi, Inflictions. Benjamin Yarnell. a youtn of 23 years, fell a victim some time since to the subtle charmer, and for a period kept company with a young lady named Emma Thome. But it is not p'easunt to relate that Biter a time bis affection was not reciprocated, filled with one last hope, and with a deter mine) mien, be Drocoedod to the house of bis fair friend, on Sixth street, new Hallowell. He rapped at the door, encountered the mother, Mrs. Koddls, and without further ado, made known bis passion, and inquired whether or not he was to be the happy man, etc. On being informed to the contrary, he grew wroth, and Immediately assaulted the mother aud rinnohter. damaging each to agreat extent, and destroying their garments. His affections gave way to intense hatred, and with his fists he Pummelled everybody and everything, until ifHi-nr Twines arrived, when be ceased. Alder man Luiz oommltted him to answer in default Of 81000 ball -William II. McCoy was also afflicted with an attack of the tender passion, and like wise aspired to claim the hand of one Miss Graham. Some time since McCoy was politely informed that his attentions were no longer nooiinrl. An interregnum then occurred in which onoiher person took McCoy's place. The latter hearing of this, proceeded yesterday to )h residence of Miss Graham, at Fifth and Queen btreets. But no sooner was the door opened than it was violently closed in bis face.

Harry Weir was arrested last evening by Officer Woodhoase, at Seventeenth and Coates streets, on a warrant tHAtied by Alderman Hutchinson, for a despe rate assault which he committed on an oriicer about ona week ago. This omoer was taking a prisoner along when Weir attempted to rescue Sfm arid in the struggle the policeman called nnon Mr. Tyson to aid him.

It becomes every faithful subject of her Itrltannlc Majestv.whetrier he be at home or abroad, to observe trie !Md of April with some degree of formality, inasmuch as it is set apart in the calendar as being sacred to the memory of St. George, of anti-dragon memory, and patron of the realm ot EDgland. In the calen dars of the Latin and Greek Churches be shares the honors of this day with divers other Salnis, but the Saxon mnrtyrology has dedloated It to him alone, and ever since the Conquest bis fes tival has been duly honored by the devoted llriions. As is the cose with many other salnis, his worldly career Is involved la considerable mystery. According to Butler, the most ap proved authority on the Catbolio Calendar, St. George whs of noble Christian parentage, and having entered the army, rose to a high ran it theieiu. liuthennd the mistortuue to live in the evil days of Diocletian; and that blood thirsty, Chrlsilan-hating heathen having Hliamelesslv persecuted tlie sect of religionists to which Kt.eorge belonged, the latter was Induced thereby to withdraw from the army that he might, with some Bhow of propriety, upbraid the tyrant for his cruelties. Iu doing so lie made a sad mistake, troin a worldly point of view, for it resulted in his losing his head, in a spirllu d sens, however, this wus the most fortunate thing that heciuld have done, as he was, in return, at a subsequent period, raised to the high dignity of salutslilp. We ara inclined to discard this theory of hi life, since we find no mention of a rtrasou therein, and the connection of Hi. George wall the Dragon Is something that must not he severed. We therefore much prefer to believe that he was born some lime during the second century, lu Eplphanla; tuat bis fattier was a mere fuller; that ho amassed a large fortune by unscrupulous practices, in supplying the army with bacon; that he was forced to abandon his native laud because of this; that he subsequently made zealous pro fession of Arlanisin, and became Archbishop of Alexandria; that he there plun dered the tue pagu temples, and orpe4sed Christian and heaihen alike wl'h exactions that he was expelled by a rising of the people, but soon reinstated by force ot arms, and a jam cast Into prison, and there murdered by the infuriated populace. This raised him lo tho dignity of martyrdom in Arlan eyes, and in the course of two or three centuries lie onue to be considered a saint of the very first rank, and the patron of chivalry and arms. Iu this last capacity, long after he was dead and buried, he fought valiantly during the crusade at Anllocli andAcre; and tradition likewise naslt.tnalonce upon a time he slew a dragon in Ly bla.thereov saving a beautiful (maiden from a painful death. At different periods be became the patron saint of Sicily, Arragon, Valencia, Genoa, Malta, and other localities, as well as of Eng land, in addition to having uumerous knightly orders named la his behalf. In 1344 his festival was made memorable by the creation In Eng land of the Order of St. George, or the Blue Garter; since when he has continued to grow steadily In favor with the English people. The day is duly observed in this and all other cities where natives of England reside, by banquet lugs and general socitl rejoicings. Somkthino Important! How to Qbt Rid of Pkomishoky Notes. A new mode of doing away with notes soon falling due was success fully tried yesterday. Ernest Hheerer, of age 45, and married too, resides at No. 825 Lawrence street. Yesterday he went to .Mr. Neppls, and inquired for a promissory note of about SUO, which at that time lell due. This was no soouer produced by the gentleman, than Soheerer opened a mouth rapacious and fearful to look upon, and ot one gulp took down said note for digestion. This was a most marvellous and speedy manner of doing away with papers sus ceptible of causlug dissatisfaction aud trouble, but the evil consequences were not lessened at all, forScheerer found himself soon arrested by Olhcer Senderlmg. and committed In default of 1000 bail by Alderman Toinnd, to answer at Court. We are astonished at tho easy mode of doing away with unlucky obligations, but are not quite satisfied with the consequences. A Sad Case. David Gill, who resides at No. Filbert street, bus contrived to get himself into a very unenviable position. Some time ago, it is alleged that he made great pro fessions oi Hiiecuon lor a very pleasing young lady of bis acquaintance, wulch were fully re ciprocated on her part. As the results of their intimacy were about assuming a serious cha racter, the lady waited upon Mr. Gill at his residence, and demanded that he should ad vance to her sufllcleut money to support his child. The only response that the poor woman received for this appeal was a serious pounding at the hands of her former lover. In conse quence of this a warrant was issued for GUI's arrest, and he was held for a further hearing in the case to-morrow aiternoon. Robberies. Some time during last night the pottery establishment of George Hweeuey, No. 1334 Ridge avenue, was broken into, and the oince roboea or sjw in currency, rue bur glars had a safe time of it, inasmuch as the building is surrounded by a high board ence. with a large space intervening between it and tbe manufactory. A tailor store in me same vicinity, owned by Henry Berker, was also the object of an at tempted burglary. There were evidences of forcible entrance Deing trieu, as a oacK uoor was covered wttn notes, in one oi wnicn a bit was fastened. The burglars were foiled. Watch Stealing. Samuel MoGowan was arrested yesterday afternoon for the larceny of a silver watch and chain from a little boy named Tunison. After the arrest, be informed the ofllcers that he did not intend to steal tbe watch oh, no, that was entirely foreign to his honest intentions; he happened to see the little boy (about fifteen years old), and thought be would take charge of the articles, for fear that the little fellow would lose them. Alderman Godboa thought differently, and committed him, accordingly, for a further investigation, in default of bail. A Hungry Man. To be without funds is, Indeed, a miserable condition of existence, for where shall one rest nis neau or eat wituai n ne be without tbe necessary stamps to pay his way? Francis Hoffman, aged 27 years, was yesterday afternoon In this decidedly unplea sant condition. Growing very hungry while gazing at tbe window of a refreshment saloon at Second and Beaver streets, he could not resist the temptation, and he consequently entered, ordered a meal, which disappeared rapidly, and then made oir. lie was arrested, anu commiiteu by Alderman Shoemaker to answer. Stealing 'a Boat. James Fisher was arrested last evening, by Officer Myers, of Lieutenant Edgar's Harbor Force, for the sap- posed larceny of a sum. about eighteen leei in length. Fisher was found in the boat at the loot or 1'ODIur street wnari. anu wnen arresteu would give no account of the ownership of tne skin, thereby corroborating tne oincer s sus picion. He was committed In default of 8500 ball for a further hearing. The skiff a waits an owner at the Harbor Station, Froni and Noble streets. Suspicion ok Homicidf. Ann Develin, aged thirl v. four, and Catharine Bovd were arrested yesterday in Spnflord street, on suspicion of aused tue tieatn oi au oiu mny, woo erday morning at the Pennsylvania The former was held as a witness latter to await a further in vestigaiiou hv the Coroner. Since the arrest, a nost mortem examination made noon the body of the deceased at the Hospital, revealed the fact that death was punned by disease of the lungs. Beer Barrel Stamp. William- Love went out to a llit.le "beerbarty" last night. In the vicinity of Frankford road and Adams street. While there, he knowing the value or tne Deer stump reouired bv the llevenue Department on all beer barrels, appropriated to his individual sen sucn articles irom the barre is inemseives belonging to his friend, the proprietor of the sauer weln establishment. This morning, about 4 o'clock, be wus arrested, and committed by Alderman Cloud in default of &00 hail. An Alleged Thibp. James Keenan wa arrested this morning at an early hour, in the vard of a dwelling at Brown and Jefferson streets. He had in his possession a large can- vnu ttnflr fnnt.iilnf ncr uhuli-oI nliuiMl nf Valuable carpeting, articles of clothing, and a pair of Dalnter's overhauls. Inst completed. inese articles await identification at the Twelfth DlS' Jaeobv. Kee nan was committed' by Alderman Fltoh, In de- nlock this morning Timothy Slmoos and Thomas SU John, the former residing at Tenth and Cherry and the latter at Second and Washington streets, were severely inlured bv an embankment giving away and falling upon them. They were re moved to their home.

Mrs. James then gave an account of her visit to the Freedmeii's schools lu the South. She visited Norfolk. Petersburg, and Richmond. 1 he schools In Norfolk were held lit five rooms, and the pupils numbered three hundred. On Friday they were all assembled in one room Hnd examined as to the progress they had made during the week. She visited the primary schools first, and the children repeated the Lord's prayer and the command ments, and when questioned upon the latter, answered all questions immediate) v. They hnd only been studying arlthmetlo a short time, and the teacher remarked that ttiey were slower to acquire the art of numbers than any other. This she attributed to the want of pre vious instruction. When the presont teacher (Miss Smith) took charge of this school, II only numbered ninety pupils. The rod had been used. She abolished it, and the school has ad vanced to its present number; and by adopting a system of rewards, the scholars are Incited to make energetio efforts to acquire knowledge. Mrs. James then read a number or letters from the children. One, from a little girl, we give below: fconFoi.K, Vs., March t IflW.

BAKER. She distributed a number of books to the chil dren which they received gratefully. Somen ft en years ago a lady named Douglas and her daughter attempted to teach school in Norfolk, but they were arrested and impri soned, flow there are about thirty teachers and are not molested, but they are not respected as they should be. She then gave a detailed account of her visits to o. t schools. Kev. ,)r.

An Alleged Perjuby. Mr3. Julia McLaugh lin whs arrested some days since on a charge of perjury. It appears in evidence that, on the V!7th ot February, 1864, she took an oath that sue was the wife of one John McLaughlin, and a mother; and on such affidavit she was allowed the Government pension. It has been since ascertained that she swore falsely; the facts to which she gave oath appearing, on examina tion, to the contrary, Pat rick Doyle and John Dougherty were arrested for being vouchers lor Mrs. McLaughlin. Noon to-day was set for nn examination before Commissioner Sergeant, but tbe parlies not appearing, it was holdover until Friday week a' i'2 o'clock. Kotaht Pomlio Appointed. We notice that Daniel II. Hilt has been appointed by Governor Geary as Notary Public for tbe city and county of Philadelphia appointed under the reoent law creating six additional Notaries Public. This Is a good selection, and one that we think will give general satlsiactlon. Fire.
