Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a distressing accident occurred at '.Chesnut street wharf, involving the death, by drowning, of an elderly lady named Mrs. Louisa Lyons, of Chester, Pa. The steamer Ariel was at the wharf taking; on passengers and freight for Wilmington, prior to her 1 o'clock P. II. trip, to that city. It appears that Mrs. Lyons and a young man, name unknown, were in the act of stepping on to the boat, when the nans plank, which barely rested on the edge of the boat, slipped, and one end of it fell downwards, car rying Mr?. Lyons and the young man with it and precipitating them into the water. The young man caught hold of something on the side of the boat and 6aved himself, and Mrs. I.j on attempted to take bold of bis clothlnsr, but being shaken ou" tell into the water. The steamer Commercial blowing off waste fcteam at this moment, from a valve near the paddle-wheels, partially hid the unfortunate lady from view, and belore assistance could be extended to her she was drowned. The young man v. as rescued. The body of Mrs. Lyons was recovered about one and a half hour after the ead occurrence and taken to the Coroner's under taker, aud information of the nil air was tele graphed to Mrs. Lyons' relatives, at Chester, some of whom immediately left for Philadel phia. The deceased was about nrty years or ace, and a widow lady. She leaves a family of lour grownup sons and one daughter, nearly all of whom are married. She was very respectably connected, and was much esteemed by all who knew her. Th Kational Gdabd Regiment. An elec tion was held last evenine, at the National Guard Armory, by General Charle9 P.

A very large number, of the thelts committed at this season ot the year are due to the manner in which residences are luttonen In the evening. The depredators sneak Uttn front doors, and it the wav is clear they go into the parlors aud sweep the tables of valua tor kAniii nr iVia miintpls of eostlv ornaments. There is scarcely a day in which thefts ot this kind are not reported at ponce stauon. a niBtt or two ago, the residence of Mr. J. Z. i!!ir,s Nr.. ifi.19 N.

Mr. Henry Blackburn, author of several bo;ks of travel upon the continent, has been drawing Don' into wervice as an illustrator of his last work, "The Pyrenees; a description of Bummer life at French watering places." The volume, which is a handsome octavo, con tains upwards of one hundred illustrations by the great French artidt. Whether the designs may have done service in Franco before or not, they are new to Americans, and exhibit Doie's peculiar powers in a very pleasant aud attractive manner. The work is included in Messrs. Scribner, Welford it Co. 's latest con signment of English publications, together with Sophia Jex Blake's account of her "Visit to some American Schools and Colleges;" a walking tour arourid Ireland in 18(j.r; a volume of the marvellously cheap and exceedingly handsome editions of Waverly now issuing by iioiten; uoionei Ltivireheirs biography ot Abd-el-Kader, the Arab chief; the domestic aud religious life of the Penns and Penuingtons of the seventeenth century, etc. etc. Messrs.

The volume will be accompanied with an in troduction and illustrative notes, and will range with the collections of Percy Ritson, Evans, and Ellis, and the publications of the Percy Society. A limited number of copies have been secured in advance by Messrs. Scribner, vv etiora x co., who will receive subscriptions. Mr. W. Chappell has found the original words to the old tune of "Thomas, you can not," which he has long searched for in vain, in Bishop Percy's Folio Manuscript. The words are not such as we are accustomed to hear sung in publio now, and, what is worse to the bibliographer, parts of the fifth and sixtn verses nave been torn oil in the nianu Script. Messrs. Charles Reade and Dion Bouci cault are writing, in conjunction, a new serial Story for the Atlantic Monthly, for which they are to receive a larger sum than has yet been paid by an American periodical to an English author, witn the exception, perhaps, of Mr Dickens.
