About 1 o'clock en Saturday night two bur glar entered tbe house of Mr. D. W. Whiting, on Main street, Melrose. Mr. Whiting waa in New York, and tbe bouse was occupied by nis wife and children. One of the latter, a aou, beard a noise, and immediately got up and went Into his mother's room for a light. He Informed his mother tha' somebody had broken into tbe bouse, and found tbat sue naa neara the burglars, but supposed that he (the son) was up. She then tarted to go to her daughter's room to get a lignt. ana iu so umiii usu iu piwa iua head of the flight of back stairs, the son in the meantime going down the front stairs. When Mrs. w lining bad arrived at tne neaaor tne back stairs and was about to pass along to her daughters room, soraetning siruoK ner, ana sue was thrown down the whole flight of stairs, and was subsequently picked up wounded and bleeding, and In an Insensible condition.

Mrs. Whiting was immediately cared for. It was ascertained that her head waa badly In jured; tbat one of her ribs had been fractured, and tbat ebe waa Injured internally. Her wounds are serious, and It is feared she cannot recover. Nothing has been missed In the house, and it Is thought the burglars failed to secure any booty. CHANGING NAMES. Mr. Vallandigham's late letter speaks ot Heury Wilson nee Jeremiah Colbaith. as a mat ter of rrproach. We do not know the reasons lor Mr. WiUon's change of name in early lite; but it is remarked by an exchange tbat as it is very common in New Hampshire, where Mr. Wilson was born, to change names by act of Legislature, for various reasons, it is hardly necessary to suy that Mr. Wilson had apertect right to have bis name lawfully changed. Tne pedantry of Mr. Vallandigham in using a foreign word, adopted by him deubtless from a fhow bill, without understanding its significa tion, is noted by the Cincinnati Qazttte as fol lows: "Mr. Wilson's name was changed from Jeremiah Col bal ih. but he waa not thereby changed troin a female, as tbe gender of Mr. Vallandigham's parti ciple rwe signifies. In speaking ot a tnuscullne change of this sort It Is necessary to use the masculine par ticiple ti, to avoid declaring tbe miracle of a change of sexes." . Apropos of tbe subject of changing names, we knew a gentleman in Louisville who had his name changed by the Kentucky Legislature on the ground that he could accomplish nothing with such a load to carry as that of AmitA. He had a very pretty name oestowed instead, and had achieved some considerable reputation ere his death, which took place in the Union army while he was yet young i the Cotton-Famine Fund, An English paper sayst "As a very large balance remains in tbe hinds of the treasurers to tbe Liverpool branch of the cotton-tamtne relief fund, it baa been suggested that the best application of the money would be to found a convalescent hospital, in connection with the three hospitals already in existence, to which patients may be sent to gam strength for tne operations, or to recover from them, or in which patients requirlug purer air than they can get In the town can be accommodated. Subscribers representing an aggregate sum of 40,000 have consented to this appropriation, and airtbe Court of Chaucery will have to sanc tion tbe scheme, it bos been arranged to hold a public meeting of the subscribers."

Baltimore, July 8. Tha disturbance last evening between the negroes and whites In tbe western part of tha city, near Howard and Centre streets, causes considerable excitement.

Tbe Colored Lincoln Zouave Company was out to welcome Tbad. Htevens and Mr. Colfax, and on returning were unprovokedly assaulted by the whites and police. Several shots we re fired, and one negro Is reported wounded. No whites were Injured. ' ,' ' i AfTairi in Cincinnati. ' ,. ClNCiNNATi.July 2.

The Journal de Liege Bays that the men engaged in reopening and repairing the works of the coal mine of How Buveur at Jemeppe, after reaching a depth of nearly 160 metres, have, at the end of four months, come upon a gallery communi cating with the lower ladders; there they dis covered seven bodies of the unfortunate work men who were there imprisoned while making their way to the surface. The bodies are com pletely mummified, the shrivelled flesh ad hering to the bones. This phenomenon is attributed to the abundant exhalations of car bonic acid gas. The bodies lay on their backs, one after the other, the hands being crossed Tinder tbe head. Two were found locked in a close embrace. . No satisfactory conclusion bas as yet been arrived at as to the cause of the death of these men, whether from the inhala tion of carbonic acid or from want of food, being thus entombed. The gallery was unsafe at the time tbe discovery was made, but care is being taken to ventilate it, and to bear away tbe bodies safely. The work of reparation is yet likely to be tedious, for much injury has been done, and the work requires to be set about with great caution. The steamer R. E. Lee recently made the trip between Memphis and Cairo, 240 miles, in 16 hours and 30 minutes, against a four mile current. . FINANCE AND COMMERCE. OrricE or Tint Rvknins Telegraph,!

' ' , We take pleasure in transferring to our columns, from a morning contemporary, the following Just tribute to our able Btate Trea surer, W. H. Kemble, Esq.t 1 ' ' ' "The activity or W. H. Kembl. tha Treasurer of ' the Commonwealth. In his purpose to bring tbe debt ot tbe Slate down to a minimum point. Is worthy of all praise; and he Is teaching the people a lesson whlrb they may well adopt In their private business with great good to themselves. In our advertising columns this morning will be found an Invitation Irom tbe Commissioners ot the Sinking Fund, for pro posals lor the tele to the Commonwealth, tor cancel lation, ot the loans due aud payable July 1. lHns, There are two million two bundred and sixty thou sand dollars of this Issue outstanding, bearing Interest at the rate ot Ave per cent, per annum, and ttiere can be but little doubt that proposals will be offered for the sale of tbe whole amount, as It is understood tha Interest on these bonds will cease Immediately at ma turity. Mr. Kemble seems to understand not only the theory but tbe philosophy of financiering. Since he was elected toortlee the Stale tax upon the people baa been, at his suggestion, materially' reduomit and, having seen this important object accomplished, he now proceeds, with an amount ot Intelligence aud In dustry that bas not been witnessed In bis department for many years previously, to reduce the principal of the public debt, that the people may be relieved from tbe payment of taxes on account of the Interest. . ,,,.....,, "What a marked contrast there la between the management of our State finances and those of our city) In the one case liquidation Is tbe order ot tha day, and In the other, expansion of the debt. In tha case of tbe Commonwealth the purpose la to relievo the people as much as possible from tbe burdens they are bearing; but In tbe case of the city, the 'policy pursoM Is to oppress them more and mora not every year aud ovary month only, bat every day In the year."
