For lome months Patriek Croean, nn Irish laborer, hus residt d at No. 446 Vest Tweuty eiplitu street, with his wife Julia, who Uaj also suffered from congestion of the luno. The wife had no medical attendance until the Twentieth Ward Polios sent a physician, who lotind ber on the evo of couttnement, and having a slight attack of congestion of the lungs. The physician prescribed for his patient, but the persons atteuding her neglected to eivc the medicines ordered, and the unfortunate woman languished in conse quence. At tbis juncture the husband, hitherto a very temperate, well-to-do man, took to drink and continued to indulge excessively in liquor ever eince. Three or four niehts ago Mrs. Cropan gave birth to a still-born child, and when the husband returned in an intoxicated condi tion, be became incensed at bis wile and beat ber terribly while thus helpless and ill. The doctor attending the woman ut Crogan in the street and suggested his arrest, though it was cot done. On Sunday night, Croean "aain appeared in bis wife's room grossly intoxicated, end beat ber again in a most shatnetul manner, tbe injuries being such that death ensued early yesterday morning. Crogan has siuce been arrested, and appears to be in a state ot stupor from excessive drink. Coroner Rollins assumed charge of the cae yesterday, and will bold an inquest to day. It is stated that tbe unfortunate woman would certainly have recovered bad not this violence been used towards her. The Case of the Bloeknrie-Itunner Wren. The Washington (Dec. 31) correspondence of the Boston Journal says: The ttcamer Wren was unqnestlnnably built bv Laird & Co. for the Confederate Government, and ran tbe blockado into Galveston with a cargo. She took a freight ot cotton Ironi Gal veston to Havana, and on bur way from there to Hfllifax lor another cargo her crew ro9o on the officers in June, 1865, and carried her into Key Wist, where she was libelled and con demned. An appeal was taken by Laird A Co., claiming to be her owners, and the Supreme Ccnit here ordered the steamer's release on the ground that, although she might have been engaged in blockade-running, she was not so engaged wben captured by her crew. Just then General Caleb Cusbing libelled the proseeds of the steamer's sale.", which were in the Treasury lor tbe benefit ot the United States, under the advice of the Treasury Department, as the property of the Confederate States; und in case it should bo held to be the property of Laird A Co.,' General Cusbtng also libelled it in behalf of tha owners of a Nenburyport ship destroyed by the Ala bdina, which Laird & Co. bad fitted out, on tho ground that they were, therefore, responsible lor the dannges which she had caused. This suit was defended by Foster and Thompson, lawyers in Aew otk, who hud intimate profes sional relations with Attorney-General Erarts, and It is now rumored that upon their applica tion tha Attorney-General has ordered the release of the proceeds ol the steamer without trial. Hence the resolution presented by Mr. Mori ill in tbe benate ot the Uuited Slates. rilllADKLPIlIA STOCK EXCOANC8 BALM, DR0. 21 Beporied by D Haven A Bro No. 40 8.

From So'elook this morning until the time tbat we goto press, there has been a long line of young men extending from Trumpler's m nsle store, on Chesnut street, to near Ninth street, and a passer-by would naturally lafer, Iroms large placard lu the window, staling that the sale of tickets for tbe engagement of Mrs. Scoti Slddons at tbe Academy of Muslo would commence this morning, tbattbese gentlemsn were waiting their turn to obtain seats. But bad they looked In a morning paper of to-day I hey would bavaseen tbe following advertise ment, wbtcb would in reality account tor the pretence of so many men; S-WANTEl-FirtT(50) Inreltlffsnt, genteel msn for light sua recpfotabls employment; salary, (sis oollurt) per (Truing; will only be employed during tha boors ot tevsn aud tsn o'clock eaoh evening. Apply from 10 to llo'o.ock thli (Tutaday) morning, at Truoiplnr's Muslo bloie. (jheioat street, betweva Ninth sod Tenth. From this It will be seen that tbe at ent of this young lady, findlrg that toe prospect for good bouses was not very fUtterlng, resorted to a dotlge tbat not only inconvenienced those who applied for tbe position, but would be the means of deceiving the public la general. The Idea was tbat any one pasting would believe that tbe seats weie being sold vary rapidly, Which would Induce hundred of others to pur chase ticket; but we are glad lo say that but few purchnseis were on bnud, as the applicants for the light and respectable employment" were so numerous tbat, np to the hour last mentioned In tbe adverllsoment,tbere was still a long line left. Huen schemes are unbecoming to one who professes to Inherit tbe ability of the great Sarah Slddons, aud we are greatly surprised tliata gentleman ooenpylog tue position that Mr.Trumpler holds In mis community should recognize such a transaction. On Inquiry, we are led to believe tbat tbe author of the adver. tlaementwss tbe same Individual who a few years since received a reprimand In open court for start Hub tbe mothers of ibis city with a pla card which was posted all over the walls, noti fy lug them to beware of tbe child stealer. A. be was then arrested, would It not be well to In terpose the strong arm of tbe law In this ease? Mrs. Blddons claims to be a descendant of the great Kenible family, and she la trying to make the most of ber name. From the orltlolsms tbat sbe has received In other cities we'Jadxe tbat she has BOt given evidence that she pos sesses and of the ability of ber family. If she wants to retain ibe good will of the oommunliy sbe bad belter secure it In a quiet way. Tue people of Philadelphia are not going to be hum buijged, and they are not going to believe that sbe is a great actress because ber name is Slddons. In connection with this matter a paragraph bus been goinu; tho rounds of the press, to trie etleet Hint a Philadelphia gentluman, who has seer and appreciated the ubilltles of Mrs. Scott Kiddons, had made a perrqaneut arrangement Willi her by which sbe was to appear in all the cities of the Union, ut bis expenso, upou a salary of Sl'iUO per week. The Item also stated tbat Mr. Albert II. Cusslday was to be her busi ness manager. Pale op Stocks and Reai. Estatk. At noon to-day tbe following stocks and real estate were sold by Messrs. M.
