TUT, jJAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1869. 8 iraw "gonnisiMS. Frvm Our Own CorrttpendenL Nw Tori, Ma; 13, 1MO. have often abused the New York markets that to, the ramshackle sheds that are dignified with the me of market-houses but 1 do not know that I have ever had much to say against the edibles which those markets offered for sale, rassinn every morning through one of the freshest and most fra grant of these at the hour when the early bird atches the worm, 1 can bear witness to the good things that abound there. It is to what the markct konses arc, and not to what they contain, that I Object. One feels doubly thankful that New 1 or u embloomcd with such a multitude of green and fertile suburbs when one beholds poured Into the metropolitan lap cnuicss u.. ... -vegetables, fruit, flcHb, llsh, and fowl, aU In the prlmest condition. The salmon, the fresh mackerel, the brook-trout, to be seen in Fulton Market, for In stance are enough to make an epicure weep, were CDlcnres In the habit of weeping for anything but what thoy cant get I say nothing or green peas jjcrmnda potatoes, cabbages, spinach, mint, nlons, asparagus, rhubarb, string-beaiw, and water tresses. Even the spring butter has a yellow hue Which IB strongly suggestive of Philadelphia. If I fonnd a hair In tltal butter I should know it to be golden beforehand, and appropriate It to some sup posititious blonde. It is to be feared the "breathing lungi" of the city, as the public parks arc facetiously termed, will not long hold their own. The spirit is abroad that will sooner or later build them up. St. John's Park lias already passed away for that purpose, and thejMtnall park In front of the City Hospital Is rapidly vanish ing beneath the incursions of the ruthless brick-and-niortar men. Will the day ever come when Union, and Madison, and Washington, and City Hall Parks Shall le built upon? I fear no. I fear thathea'th v.111 be obliged to give way to wealth, and that ere long the few green breathing places within the limits of the metropolitan district will have become the foundation or palatial Stores. Meanwhile the city authorities have so little sympathy with the necessities of tlio poor, ami the public means, of securing the general health, that they have done all that in them lay to prevent the construction or public baths. This was a favorite design with some of the most charitable ladles and gentlemen In the city: but now that Councils have refused to make any appropriations therefor, the Veteran Temperance Corps has taken the matter in hand, and Is trying what It can effect by Its own un aided resources. A meeting was hold last night in Attorney street, in which the plan was indefinitely discussed, without any particular course of act ion being decided upon. The example set by the drivers nnd conductors on the Second Avenue Railroad U being followed by those of some of the other city passenger railwoy routes. The pay upon all these railways, with the exception of the Second Avenue, which pays ti-50 per day, and the Uelt ltailroad, which paid $2 per lay, has been hitherto 82-20 per day. The Belt Kail way employes resolved to secure similar rights to those of the Second Avenue, but went to work In a less demonstrative spirit. Thoy sent .In a respectful and carefully worded petition, which was charac terized by equal tlrmuess and repression, and the re sult is that they arc now enjoying what they asked for. Olc Bull's piano has been seized. The plaintiffs, Philip Hildebrand and Theodore llertzlg, instituted suit to recover a debt, and procuring an attachment n the ground of non-residence, Belzed the violinist's beautiful patent piano. Bull junior attempted to prove that his pupa was a resident of this city, nnd had been a resident for a year past, being absent only when making a professional tour; that he had over and over again announced it as his intention to reside permanently in this city, and devote himseir to the manufacture of pianos on an improved scale. It is well known that Bull senior's present hobby is this "Improved" piano, and that after having devoted a life to the violin, and accumulated several respect able fortunes by It, he "goes back" on it and nour ishes its rival In his bosom. A German vessel, with several cases or smallpox on board, is being detained in quarantine! Four deaths from that disease occurred during the pas sage, and thirteen patients are suffering at present. In connection with this, i mignt add tnat tne under standing between Dr. Swinburne, the quarantine officer, and the Board of Health, is not of the very pleasanteBt nature. Of late, whenever the Doctor and the Board of Health confront one another, an amicable wrangle Is sure to succeed, which gene rally ends in the Board of Health being worsted. The movements of all suspicious vessels in East river are to be closely watched by cutters appointed lor that purpose. The filibusters will in future find it difficult to secure an exit either by Hell Gate or Sandv Hook. Cutter No. 1 took its station off the loot of Tenth street on Tuesday night. The head quarters of the Cubans, at No. 71 Broadway, are being thronged with adventurers and, for the mat ter of that, adveuturesses too of every description, anxious to learn something of, or do something for, the patriot army. The latest bulletin Is that no more volunteers are required, and that all future opera tions of the Junta Patrlotica for some time to come will be limited to securing money, medicines, and monitions. It is pleasant to hear anything that Is good of the Dramatic Fnnd Association. It is an old fogylsh affair, characterized by old fogylsh effetcness. Now and then entertainments are got np for iU benefit, but it is seldom indeed I hear that it is of benefit to anybody else. The recent report of its Secretary and Trustees, however, gtvos the somewhat cheering in telligence that in the last twenty years (since ISts) it had distributed among deserving claimants tne sum of seventy thousand dollurs, averaging three thou sand dollar! yearly, which, after all, is not so bad but what It might be worse. The music loving as well as the theatre-going world are congratulating themselves on the produc tion this evening of hnrliae at the Academy of Music. Of course it has gone through the usual pro button of postponement, but Is positively expected to be produced to-night. It Is to be played alternately in English and Italian, and may safely bo relied upon to draw very large audiences. Mrs. D. P. Bowers, in some respects the very finest actress upon the Ame rican stage, can only approach New York as near as Brooklyn, where she is performing at her sister's (Mrs. Conway's) theatre. I.ydia Thompson and her blonde rivals are continuing their larcenies of hearts as the "Forty Thieves" at Niblo'.i. Last Sun-lay the Hereury published an article which will sell more copies of that paper than any other nrticlu published within a long while. It gave brief bio graphies and spicy little revelations of tlio "inner lives" of some or the most prominent blondes on the New York stage. Chief among these are the English girls at Niblo's. What cool reading for the summer time a volume of such biographies and revelations as these would be ! Fisk and Birgfeld have quarrelled at the Fifth Avenue Theatre ir, Indeed, so amiable a man as Birgfeld can bo s:iid to ever quarrel with any one and Birgfeld has not where to luy his hea-l. ALI DAHA. Tlie Trouble I an Aeronaut, The French aeronaut, M. Eugene Godard, 1ms been making ascents In his enormous balloon, Lo Colosse. and taking passengers on a tour ulolt ut the rate or three hundred lr.mVs a head. On his return to earth at the end or his second trip ho met with a strange mishap. At about six nines rroui Florence the volume of gas was diminished; tlio srranncls were thrown out; and tlio party ulighted In the midst of a crowd of gaping rustics, many of whom had their pipes In their mouths. M. Godai'd, having to let out the gas'remaiiiiiig in his balloon, politely begged the smokers to retire; but (says a correspondent) he might as well have spoken to the cublmges growing around. All tlio louts pressed forward, puning away and lighting lucifers on their sleeves. The consequences may bo Imagined; in the twinkling or an yu the uir wits a sheet or flame, and though nobody was hurt, the balloon, valued at six thousand francs, was reduced to Under. Then followed a disreputable scene of violence and extortion. One limiMtud upon a com- h-uuuu ior mu ingni, another f.,r nig whoso on.

The Rteannthip Janlnta Under Pflzare sixteen Thnasnnrf (iff an Foand Parked Away In Coal Cinders The Under Officers ImplioatedJ t On Monday last the steamship Juniata, of the Phi ladelphia and Southern Mall Steamship line, plying between this port, Havana, and New Orleans, arrived In the Delaware from Havana. Kdwin Hartley, special agent of the Treasury Department, over hauled the vessel, and seized several barrels and boxes, which were marked to be delivered to various parties, the names used Smith. Jones, Young, etc no doubt lelng fictitious. Their contents were not marked, but on breaking them open they were found to contain some 160 boxes, containing irt,000 cigars, packed away in coal cinders. These articles were not on tne snip s manifest, and were accordingly taken possession of by the United States official. i nat gentleman men gave the Btiln a thorough search, and arter his labors were concluded, the fol lowing articles had been placed under seizure: Two ooxes coniuinmg sugar, two one-hair cases of wine, live gallons of gin. oiie-lmlf dozen brand v. five hun dred cigars (additinnnl), one package containing a lan, one package puiiva jelly, and a package con taining some Hwcatincnta. The sugar, a portion or whieh had been used, tlx; wine, gin, hraiidv, ami the additional number of cigars, wen entered on the ship's manifest, and II was claimed that thoy be longed to her stores, as the Purser nnd purchased them for the use of the passengers. The Government agent deemed them In excess of the amount that would tie actiiall.v necesssury, end. consemicntlv. he refused to give a clearance to the ship's officers. Of j the other articles seized, the fan and guava e y had been sent by nnvul officers belonging to the t'on- tooeook and .nrrngansett, lying oil Havana, to their friends in the city, ami the sweatmeats, which com prised a small package, had been forwarded by the company's agents at Havana to a young lady attend ing scmohi in tins cny. General .lames, the General Agent of the company. on being apprized of the seizure, repaired t i the vessel and started an investigation of Hie muter. Heli.g satisfied that l he lis.oon cigars had been smug gled liy some of the under officers through the in fluence of some men In this cltv, he directed tli"lr immediate discharge, and he claims that the goods which were on the ship s manifest, properly belonged to her stores, and ns such were not subject to seizure. It is also said that the purser, through some diffi culty with the company's officers, arising out. of the cigar business, had tendered his resignation, and was leaving the ship with the biandy, gin, wine, .. which he claimed us his own property, when they were taken possession of. The matter lias been re ported to Collector Moore, who will Institute a strict investigation. R.ui.koao Intkiikhth. A convent ion composed of the General Baggage Agents of the principal railroads or the United States met at the Continental Hotel, in this city, yesterday afternoon. Colonel Samuel Car penter, the popular and efficient General Baggage Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was elected president; Mr. Theodore G.Moore, of the Lake shore line, vice-president ; iiml Mr. George.!. Clarke, or the Ohio and Mississippi Kuilroad, secre tary. The object or the convention, we are in formed, Is to devise means for the entire security or baggage for the travelling public from the time they leave their homes until they reach their destination. This a very important movement, and doubtless will result to the great advantage of all who travel on the steamboat and rail routes of the United States, in lessening the annoyances, delnysntid risks freouently attending baggage transportation, and promoting plans whereby baggage, in large or small quantities, will invariably ho loiind by the passenger on his or her arrival at the etui of the journey. The whole matter is In the hands of competent gentlemen thoroughly familiar with the details or the business. and the proceedings or the convention must natu rally benefit the community. We welcome these representatives or the great railroad interests or the country to Philadelphia, and hope they may have a good time generally, nnd that their deliberations and conclusions may prove of the utmost satisfaction to the great army or travellers. ROMIEMES AND ATTKMl'TED ROBBERIES. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning the dwelling No. 1SUT Bellcvue street was entered through the front door, and ransacked.

On Tuesday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, an attempt was made to enter the house of Joseph Welsh, at No. 17-14 North Thirteenth street.

This morning at 10 o'clock the Misiness of the Annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Chnrch of the Diocese of Pennsylvania was resumed in St. Andrew's Church. The bnlldlng whs com paratively well filled, quite a number of ladies being present. Bishop Stevens called the Convention to order. The names of such delegates as had not answered to the first anil second roll-calls were read by the Secretary. Several of them were found to le now present. The minute of the two preceding days were read, corrected, and approved. The Rev. Mr. Merrick, from the committee ap pointed to procure an Episcopal residence In the city of Philadelphia, reported complete success. The dwelling No. 16:13 Spruce street, In every way satis factory, had boon secured. He then ottered the fol lowing resolutions: fftwnfiW, Thnt the committee having charge of thn pur rhacn of an Kpiacnpnl rflnidence bo directs) to hivp the property conveyed midor advice of ormnflnl to thrvs truit teor -with the object or tnmt declined in the deo-1 -nnd bo that the Convention of the IMoecne which inniirlo for the time lieing the city of Philmtclptiia Khali have th.i power troni time Ut time to noitiinnt trust oea in whom the t it K shall bo vested, when directed by Cou vention. i;rnl, 1. That John VVclnh, Thomas Ttohina, and T. H. Montgomery ahull lie tlio truntees to take the tit io mnler the foregoing resolution. The resolution was carried. William Welsh, Kso., moved that a vote of thanks lie tendered the commit tee, and that tlio committee be continued. Carried. The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of gentlemen for the purpose of securing one to fill the vacant place In the standing Committee. The Rev. Dr. Rudder withdrew his name, and then the Rev. Drs. Howe anil Newton were respectively nomiuatt d. Rev. Dr. Goodwin called for nnd had read Hie re solution offered yesterday "for Hie purpose of secur ing freedom and purity iu the balloting'' of the Con vention. The resolution, It. will be remembered, provided for the rejection, as tickets, of all pieces of colored or mutilated paper. When it was offered by Rev. Dr. Rudder It occasioned the intensest merriment. Kev. Dr. Goodwin then Inquired how iiiauv corners could be cut otr the pices of paper he voted as a ballot. This remark gave rise to general laughter. The Convention then went formally into the lection. After an intn-itn. the tellers reported that the Rev. Dr. Howe had received 110 voton. Hie ev. Dr. New ton H7 votes, scatterings. Mr. Howe was therefore declared elected. on motion or Rev. Mr. Hunter, the rhair was di rected to fill the vacancy on the Historical Com mittee, occasioned by the resignation of Key. Mr. Morris, lately elected Bishop of Oregon and Wash ington Territory. The Bishop, in accordance with the above, ap pointed the Rev. J. Andrew Harris. Reports were then presented and read from the Trustees of the Christmas Fund, for the assistance of disabled clergymen and the widows and children of deceased clergymen, and from the Standing Com mittee of the diocese. From this latter report the following is taken : At a meeting of the Standing Committee, acting as a council of advice, held May 11, is9, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted and directed to be inserted in the report of the Standing Commit tee to be presented to the Convention: H7irrM, The thirty-fourth of our articles on religion declares that whosoever through hia private judgment, willingly and puriioaelv dotli openly break tho tradition and ceremonies of the Church, which lie not repugnant to the word of (tod, and be ordained and approved by CGiniiK-ii authority, ought to be rebuked openly. A.nd Hri, Tho ceremonies and traditions of a Church nro broken when their aimplicity is destroyed and their iden tity ticcomo Hiistakuble, not less than when they ure dis used ; W lirrmn, further. The (handing Committee are by Canon 2d, of TitleS. a council endowed with authority to meet nnd advise tho P.ishop of their own accord. It is hereby Rtmlrnl. Firat. That the simplicity of the ceromoniul re cognized by tho rubrics, is believed to owe its pi-OHorvution in Pennsylvania, in part at least, to inllnences onortod by the present Bishop and his predecessors, and these inlln ences are thankfully acknowledged. Second. That the Council respectfully reeommend that tho ecclesiastical authority of t lie diocese use all c.inoni cal and discreet measures which may bo necessary to carry out the doctrine of the:4th article of religion, and to maintain within our bounds tho simplicity of tho cere monies and traditions of the Protestant Kpiscopal Church. On motion of Rev. Mr. Vail, rule 4th of the regu lation Tor the government or the Convention was amended bo as to read : "When any member is about to speak m debate, or deliver any motion in tho house, he shall riso from hif j seat, and shall with due respect address himself to th s s lenmriii in i iw . ni veil i iuu, i ii uiiiiscii Biiit;My iu the point in debate." The Rev. Mr. Boulton, or West Chester, then read the report of the Hoard of Missions of the Diocese. Jt appears that, a missionary station nas tieen estab lished at Coatesville, and also a self-sustaining par ish. At Village Green another station. At this place there is a church which can be purchased for t'-'iOO. In the judgment of the Board the building should be bought. A station was also established at Milford. In Cliaiiibersburg the missionary has pur chased a rectory and secured a small building.which can be used as a church, from funds collected in the city of Philadelphia. The mission at Yardleyvillo Is in a very prosperous condition, i ne board advised the establishment of what are termed "associate missions" in some Interior places of the State, and the sendiiiK of missionaries to several other places counties and county towns. The committee to whom was referred that portion of the Bishop's address which referred to the missions of the Diocese, then reported the following resolu tions: U7iova..Tho ranid increase of noDulation in tho interior of this Diocese consequent upon tlio rapid development of its great internal sources ot weaitn nas tar outgrown the present provision for the religious wants of the p jojilu; nnd ll ftertttH.

That we respect fully ask the Right Rev. tho Bishop of the Diocese to take into consideration tlie ex pediency of his expressing the earnest wish that a collec tion be made on the occasion of his visitation in every church where tlie making of an annual collection fertile n 1-sionary work ot the diocese is not already provided tor i twl where the makine- of a collection is uracticuhle. yiVirir"f, That wo desire to rccogni.o tho faithful and sell'-deiiyiug labors of our missionaries ; hereby extend to them our affectionate sympathy, and invoke upon tlioiu and their work tho favor of God. and that we pledgo ourselves to them and to each other to keep the great inii-sionary work of the Church nearer to our hearts, an J push it on with greater vigor.

A correspondent at St. Domingo, April '20, says: The majority of the Dominican population seems perfectly satisfied with the mission of Mr. Joseph Warren' Fabens to Washington. It appears also from the same correspondence that manifestos have been received here from Santiago, Seibo, and other points, declaring for annexation and investing President Baez with full power to net. Neither tne nrst nor tne second statement is in accordance with truth. Respecting the principal assertion, I can assure you that nobody knows here the true object or ine secret mission oi ,vir. l-anens. whether It is to obtain the co-operation of the United States in making Samnna a great commercial centre or to arrange the matters of annexation, which Pre sident line, uesires, in order to ooiain tne means oi securing his riches and the power of his political friends. With respect to the Becond assertion, it is the general opinion here that the manifestoes of whieh vour corresnondont sneaks are mire, inven tions of" those who wish, for particular Interest only, to lay before the American people the political ad vantages of annexation. if the anxiety or tne Dominicans to oocome American citizens were so great as your corres pondent imagines, and the manirestoes were not elaborated by the uovernineni oi rresnient iiaez, the mission dr Mr. Fabens, Instead or being secret, would be public, and everybody would know here wnut lie is to no in w usningion. t unc, wmcn is the great discloser of all secrets, will soon reveal that not only Mr. Fabens, but Mr. Augeuard also, has been sent to the Vnlted States by President Baez and his lrlends wilhout the consent of the Domini can people, whose majority is now and has been always seriously disposed to defend tlie Integrity of the territory, i lie contradiction between me two commissioners with respect to tho public debt, foreign and domestic, of this country.

SSF ;!' i FIFTH EDITION THE LATEST NEWS. E. Joy Morris to Itetain Hh Posi tion nt Constantinople Tho Contest Over the Thl ladelpliia AppraN sership. FROM WASHINGTON. The PhllnnVlplila ApiirnlNershlp. Hpeeia.1 Despatch to Tlie Kvenintt Telegraph, Washington, May 13. There is a lively con test going on hero over tho appointment of the genoral appraiser Gf merchandise for tho port of Philadelphia. Tlie present incumbent, Lorin Woilgct. is here tryinjr very hard to keep himself In, nnd D. J. Cochran, who is a candi date for the place, arrived hero yesterday. Mr. Cochran had an interview with the President to day, and produced letters recommending him for tlie place from well-known htiMincss Anns la 1 hiladelphlu, and also n strong letter from Gov ernor Geary. The President took Mr. Cochran' npers, and promised to give them his ettcn- tion. Mr. Coclirnn also had nn interview with Secre tary Routwell of a favorable character. At first Mr. routwell was disposed to keep Blodget 11, out some 'acts have recently eomo to hl knowledge whieh have changed his mind, it la said. Mr. Cochran's hackers are. many of them personally well known to tho President, and .it is probable that he will appoint him on their account. It appears from letters nnd protests whieh have been received here at tlio Department, that Mr. Blodget is personally unpopular with tho importing merchants of Philadelphia, and haft rendered himself obnoxious to that class of bnsl- net-s men. It will bo no recommendation in hi favor with President Grant that he was an office holder under Andrew Johnson, a fact of whkU the President Is now fully aware. K. Joy Morns to Krmnln nt Constantinople. Neither Secretary Fish nor the President con templates recalling tlie Hon. E. Joy Morris, our Minister to lurkey, the statement in one 'of your afternoon contemporaries yesterday to tho contrary notwithstanding. There is nothing on file here in the Stato Department or elsewhere to show that Mr. Morris lias used any improper means to have himself retained. To those who know Mr. Morris in Philadelphia this statement is perhaps unnecessary. The whole story which appeared in the paper referred to was f uruislicd tlie Washington cor respondent of that paper by a person whoso name was sent in for the place by Andy John son, just before he went out of office, and who has been trying to get President Grant to ap point him to tlie place. The administration hoS entire confidence in Mr. Morris, and it is not probable that he will be recalled, except ho him self uhould desire it.
