Lono Branch, N. J., June IT. At o'clock this morning a large party of gentle men connected with the railroad interest of this State and with the publlo press of Philadelphia, assembled at Walnut street wharf, In that city, In anticipation of a day of unalloyed enjoyment. They were called together by an Invitation lsnued by the officers of the Camden and Amboy, Freehold and Jamesburg, and Rarltan and Delaware Bay Railroad companies, to participate In an excursion to Long Branch, by way of Inaugurating the completion and opening of the through railroad lino between Phila delphia and this point. Hitherto there has been a breach In the line or about nine miles, between Freehold and Farmlngdale, In Monmouth county, which made a tedious stage ride necessary in order to reach the sea-side. Last win ter the Freehold and Jamcslmrg Company laid a substantial track between these two points, which was fully completed and ready for travel by the 20th of May, but the formal celebration of the event was postponed ontil to-day, In order that the close prox imity of "the season" at the sea-side might enable the participants to realize more fully the unques tionable fleMghts of this charming spot. The excur sion party was In charge of Mr. J. V. Gore, the general ticket agent of the Camden and Amboy Rail road Company ; but there were also present Messrs. Willlnm II. Gatzmer, the President; A. W. Maiklcy, the Vice-President; and R. 8. Van Rensselaer, the General Superintendent of the road, as well as several of the ottlccrs of the two other roads over whose track the route extends. A more propitious duy for such an excursion could not have been selected. The elements were all in league in our favor, and as we sped along through ttie highly cultivated and attractive fields or this garden State, we were made to realize in all their fulness the pleasures Inseparable rrom a swift and luxurious Journey, and to echo in our hearts the lines or Saxe ; "Bless me 1 this is pleasant, Killing on the rail." At different points we were Joined by the officials or the State Government, by representatives or the press of New Jersey, and by leading railroad men and prominent citizens, until at lust the company numbered an aggregate of one hundred and fifty five persons, comfortably filling four passenger cars. These carB, by-thc-way, were a marvel of ease, the Beats being of a peculiar manufacture, the Invention of the General Superintendent of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, Mr. Van Rensselaer. The backs of the seats are high, and the top Is surmounted by a linen covering Into which In the evening or night a small pillow Is Inserted for the repose of the head By moving a small lever projecting sligliily In lront of the scat, the whole analr is thrown backwards, presenting an admirable reclining couch, quite as cozy and comfortable as a berth In a sleeping-car. The first and only stoppage, except for adding to the excursion party, was near Farmingdale, where the train halted for about a quarter, of an hour to afford us an opportunity to look into the immense marl deposits, through the very midst of which the new portion of the Freehold and Jamesburg road runs. The strata of marl which stretch entirely across the State, rtart at the ocean, In the neighbor hood of Long Branch, where they have a width of nearly fifteen miles, and extend in a southwesterly direction to the Delaware riwr, In the vicinity of Salem creek, where they sre narrowed a width of about five miles, The region over which the depo sits of mart may be reached by digging from three to fifty feet, Is ninety miles la length and on an average about seven or eight in Width, and Its area la nine hundred square miles, the strata themsolves being from tllteen to thirty feet In thickness. In places, the marl Is within three or four feet of the surface, s? that It is easily accessi ble, but there Is generally found above that which Is available for fertilizing purposes, stratum of simi lar but useless character. It is only within a few years past that the Immense source of fertility and wealth which Is thus locked up has been properly appre ciated by the people of the State. Recently, how ever, a great Impetus has been given to the employ ment of marl as a fertilizing agent, by the operations of two extensive companies, which have been organ ized for the purpose of working the marl beds. I have not at my command the figures for lost year, but in 1667 I learn that 4,534,800 bushels, or 126,730 tons, of marl were brought to a ready market by the railroads alone. The beds which were inspected by the excursionists were those owned and worked by Squankum and Freehold Marl Company. The - oerties or the product or the upper fertilizing which is now being wpred marl bed In that poraou ..... fu. cn , bV thlB company are set forth in 2 i.;.? analysis, tb; results of which were as follows: Phosphorio acid, 12-68 per cent.; potash, 4-25; lime, 2-97 ; alumina, 6-00; sulphuric acid, 1-89; silicio acid, 69-80; magnesia, 2-00; oxide of Iron, 11-98; water, 8-82. Total, 99-79. After a pleasant Journey, lasting a little over three hours, we found ourselves at this deltghtful summer resort. A hearty lunch had been partaken of on the train, but the glorious breeze from the ocean sharpened everybody's appetite afresh, and at half past one the whole party sat down to dinner, the greater portion of them at the Mansion House. After dinner came strolls on the beach, and turns up and clown the magnificent drive along the edge of the high bluff which faces the ocean. In the course of such a drive, we entered the grounds surrounding the country residence of John Hoey, Esq., the New York Superintendent of the Adams Express Com pany, which are unsurpassed for natural and artistic beauty by anything to be found elsewhere on the American continent An idea of their extent and elaboration may be formed rrom the statement that the entire longth or the carriage drive within the enclosure is three miles, and that without going over the same spot the second time. The whole plaee is & wilderness or trees and flowers, a veritable "earthly paradise." But I have no time to linger here. At a quarter to B we must start on the return Journey, and there is only time to say further that the regular express trains make the Journey from Philadelphia, eighty two miles in length, in four hours. For the present there will be one express train dally each way, leav ing Philadelphia at 2 P. M. and Long Branch at quarter-past 7 A. M. ; but on and after the first of July two dally trains will start from either end of the route, leaving Philadelphia at 8 A. M. and S P. M., and Long Broach at'a quarter past 1 A. M. and 4 P. M. By that time the thermo meter will stand some degrees higher than it now does, "the season" will be fairly uudcr way, and there will be an abundance or pleasure-seekers ready to avail themselves of the excellent facilities for reaching Long Branch which are henceforth at their command, Washtenaw, CITY lWTIjliLlUE13.

' Hrrrptlon f Ifalv Order In the Pretestnm hiiriU Catarrh. This morning, at Half-past 10 o'clock, a very Inte resting and impressive servioeras held in St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, Thirteenth street, below 8prn.ee. Following upon the Annual Com mencement of the Protestant Episcopal Divinity Hchool. the exercises of which took plae yesterday, came the presentation of candidates for ordination as Deaeonsor Priests this morning. The congrega tion which assembled to participate In those solemn services was large, and manlfestel a most devout Interest. Before their entrance Into the church the reverend clergy and the candidates met In the vestry-room of the church, thrice proceeding to their places within the church, or the pews Immediately near It. The exercises were begun by the rendition of tho regular service of morning prayer, Revs. Brooks, Cooper, and Newton ottlcitttlng the tlrst going to the "Lessons," the second reading these, and the last continuing until the singing of th,e psalm. This was announced by Bishop Stevens, the "Seventy ninth or the selection, 'With one consent let all the earth.'" The Rev. Julius Grammcr, D. D., or Baltimore, Md., then preached the ordination sermon. He took his text from the 2M.h verso or the '22. 1 chanter of the Book of Proverbs: "Remove not the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set." He Ix'gan by saying that no book or the Bible con tained more practical axioms for the conductor life than the tmok or Proverbs, and, therefore, it should be revered and its teachings regarded, even though we were not Rsstired that the Deity was Its author. And the words of our text should be observed.atnong the others especially observed In this era. Now, more than ever before, the battle waxes hot between truth and error, between religion and lrrcligion ; now new questions are arising In politics and morals, and dangers are arising to Church and Mate. At this day we are called upon to look well to our wav, and see in how far we must defend the ancient landmarks of our fathers. Now, so far as the Bible la concerned, attacks are made upon certain parts, in contradistinction to others. Some people desire the Holy Book emascu lated, certain of its pontons expurgated ; tho Penta teuch, for instance. But we must consider that tlio Inspiration of God covered the writers of all the books of the Bible, and that we cannot reject one without danger to the whole. The Bible is our only safeguard In this wicked age, and we cannot aiiord to lose a line or letter of It. Without It we would live in a moral world of rayless darkness. So our Church teaches that we must hold to all tho books, and our deacons and priests are required to give expression to their belief In them all. "Remove not the ancient landmarks." Empires and ages have passed away, but this Book stands as it was when America was unknown, and now as then constitutes the rule of faith and practice for nil Christendom. And the tenets of our Church, us built upon this blessed Book, should likewise be adhered to with a tenacity as lusting as life. They teach us the way of salvation, and direct us In the manner in which we should live. They In struct us hi tne moue or worship, ami even on tins score should be holden to, und strictly. They point out a pure service, and while that service should tie pursued, they themselves should be loved for their guidance. Yes, we cherish the Bible, but we also cherish this our "Prayer-book," and would follow Its iteach- mg8. The book of our church service has descended to us from our fathers; It Is an ancient landmark, and we will never falter in our allegiance to it. Eminent churchmen, not only of our denomination, but of others, have lauded it as the best book of church service In any language, and so I commend it to the affectionate regard and close observance or all. At this point the reverend speaker concluded his sermon proper, and addressed his remaining words to the candidates. These were sitting In the front pews, directly herore the preacher, and as he spoke to them they all arose, and remained standing while ho continued. His words to them were full or auc tion, and conveyed gome most excellent advice for their future as priests in the temple of God. As he concluded Bishop Stevens announced the hymn No. loo of the selection, "Futher or mereles, bow Thine ear." The candidates for Deacon's and Priest's Ord;rs were then presented separately by the following ion deacon's orders. J. Hummel Berghaus, presented by Rev. Dr. Good win. , Henry C. Mayer, presented by Rev. Mr. Hubbard. Charles 11. Mead, presented by ltev. Dr. Howell. George H. Kirklunu, presented by Rev. Mr. Ap- pieton. Charles H. Tucker, presented by Rev. Dr. Watson. FOR l-KIKST'S ORDERS. Frederick M. Bird, presented by Rev. Dr. Watson. Richard N. Thomas, presented by Rev. Phillips urooKS Henry J. Rowland, presented by Rev. Mr. Cooper. Henry K. Brouse, presented by Rev. Dr. Butler. Joseph M. Turner, presented by Rev. Mr. Claxton. Williuin w. Newton, presented by Rev. Mr. New ton. Thoy were received by Bishop Stevens, who then conducted the ordination services, propounding the regular queries to the candidates, and listening to their replies. The concluding services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Claxton, after which the Holy Sacrament was administered, and the congregation dismissed with the benediction. TE0BABLE HOMICIDE. A Mini Cut In an Altercation on Koiu fi ftlrcet, below (Seventh, at n Late Hoar Last Mlit. Last night, but 11 o'clock, Bernard Dugan, aged twentv-two years, pwiuiuk a nu. io piuwmet street, was admitted to Ue Pennsylvania Hospital, with several severe and, 7t!?U it la thought will prove, fatal cuts in tne necK aim nine. w tendance was Immediately rendered, but Ma condi tion was such this morning mat ins recovery is deemed Improbable, Jfrom all the particulars which can be obtained. It seems tnai wugan was wita a, party of men who were standing on South street, bpiow Ri-venth. about a auarter of 11 O'clock. John Gillespie, in company wun tnreo women, was pass ing down South street, and when he reached this crowd an altercation ensued. Gillespie states that the women were insulted, when he attempted to re sent It, and was then set upon anu beaten. Tne women screamed murder, and their cries had the eirect or attracting a large numDer 01 people. Policeman Nixon, or the Third district, was soon on hand, and rrom representations made that Gil lespie had been one or the crowd, took him Into cus tody. At this time High Constable Curley came along and took charge of the prisoner. The reeling against Gillenple was very bitter, and the crowd as sembled around him with drawn pistols and knives ; one or the pistols was discharged. High Constable Curley, after allaying tho excitement, wanted to know wnat Ulliespie nail clone, io which lie rcceiveu the reply that he had beaten a man. The otllcer thun wanted some one to appear against him, when Thos. Doyle, the keeper of a tavern In that vicinity, re sponded that lac would make the charge. Not know ing that Dugau nau oceu stauoeu, juney iook uu lesple berore Alderman Devltt, where bail was en tered in (600 for his appearance at 9 o'clock this morning. Subsequently Dugan was picked up rrom the sidewalk, the blood pouring freely from wounds in the nu k and aide, and tukeu to the hospital. Glllesplo did not make his appearance at tno appointed time this morning. Warranty were then procured and placed In tliu hands of the detectives, who are now engaged in hunting him op. When arrested last night Gillespie was not searched, so that It is impossible, at present, to say that he did the deed. The wounded man Is lying in a very pre carious state at the Hospital, and no one is allowed to see him. The attending physicians think that he cannot live through the duy. Howku, Finn & Co. in Tiieir Nbw Quarters. Our readers well remember tbe occasion of the dis astrous conflagration at tho handsome white marble buildings at the southwest corner of Ninth and Chcsnul streets, a few months ago, at which several lives were lost. The origin of this lire, which led to a sdentitio investigation, is as much Involved In mystery as on the night of Its occurrence. By this conilagiatlon, the firms or Howell, Brothers Jk Co. and J. K Caldwell A Co. were heavy losers, nothing being left or their buildings save the walls, which were in so tottering a condition that they were im mediately pronounced dangerous. Tne firm of llowell Brothers immediately set to work at re-crect-lng their structure, and in a few hours scores of workmen were engaged iu bracing up the walls. 1 his being accom uUHUeil, the process of tearing down commenced. This was a diilluult task, but by the aid of modern appliances, the laborers, who were at work night and day, hud the walls soon on a level with the second floor. The m-p rue tin it wnu limn begun, and so rapidly was the labor performed that the firm of llowell, Finn & Co. were enabled to take possession or their new quarters a couple or weeks since. Their business was scarcely Interrupted a dav. for with that spirit of prouroHHtveueaa which has ever marked their career, they secured other quarters, and were thus atlo to supply the extensive demand for thel goods. The feat of reconstructing the destroyed buildings In so Bhort a time is one or which Philadelphia artisans may well feel uroud. and reflects credit as well upon the firm of Howell. Vinn A Co.. who have been the means of aiUliutf another to the already many handsome IiuhIukhs structures which adorn Philadelphia.

Gents : A persistent but unsuccessful effort was made on the night of May 29, 1809, to arm tne Banker's chest received from you a few month ago. From facts that have come to our knowledge, it Is evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill It useless, the effort was then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the construction of your Chest. That they failed Is another evidence that your Banker's Chests are what you claim for then, Bur glar-Proof. Respectfully yours, 61B4p J. BALSBACK, Agent.

The Arrest of tho Cuban Junta of New York-Secretary Fish De clincs to Interfere in the Matter A New Method of Cancelling Stamps. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Great Discussion in the English of Lords on the Irish Church Bill. FROM WASHING TON. The A r rent ritnun In New York. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, June 18 It is understood hero that tbc Attorney-General endorses the action of United States District Attorney Plcrpont and Marshal Burlow in arresting the Cuban Junta in New York. When asked to-day by gentlemen what he thought of the matter, he replied that tho Cubans should have been arrested long ago, that they were guilty of an open breach of neutrality laws, and that If allowed to go on they would eventually get us into trouble with Spain. The Celebrated McRnrrylmn Claim was argued this morning before tho Attornoy- lieneral by General Tom Ewing and Judge Dent for the McGanayhan case, It having been referred to tno Attorney-General for an opinion. It is thought he will decide against McGanayhan. Cominlmloncr Delano Is considering the propriety of adopting new stamps for tobacco, and also a new method of cancelling stamps, a patent for which has just been taken out by a citizen of Ohio. It Is claimed for it that it defies counterfeiting, and mokes it impossible to use stamps a sec ami time. The Arrested Cuban. The agent of the Cubans here, Mr. Ruiz, after a private interview with Secretary Fish last night relative to the arrest of the Cuban Junta in New 1 ork, left this morning for New York. It is understood that Secretary Fish positively re fused to interfere In the matter. The Snaninb Minister is clamorous for a rigid a prosecution of the Cubans on the charges which led to their arrest. It is said that William M. Evarts has been re tained as their counsel. . FROM EUROPE. Debate In the English House of Iordx. By AtlatUie Cable. (Continuation of debate In the House of Lordd. pubiiPhea on one ot our Inside pages. Ed. Eve. Tel. I Loudon, June 18. Earl Klmberly defended the principla and details of the bill, and believed the concurrent endowment inexpedient and Ira- possible. Total disestablishment and disendow- ment was tho only measure which could remove the grievances complained of. The opposition contended that land und not the Church was the real grievance. Was It unfair to remove one grievance because another existed which might hereafter be legislated upon. The Bishop of Ripon opposed tho bill, and the Duke of Cleveland supported it if amendments could be made. Lord Redesdalc opposed tho bill, especially tho clause depriving Irish Bishops of their seats in the House of Lords. Rather than reject them, the Episcopal Bench would consent to admit Romifh prelates to sit with them. The Duke of Devonshire favored the bill, and the Marquis of Salisbury said that while he in tended to vtc for the second reading of the bill, he did not wish to commit himself to all the de tails of the measure. lie strongly objected to the attitude of the House with respect to the motion. The nation deemed the assertion that the Lords In assenting to the will of the natlou express subordination to the Commons as false. If that were the fact, it would be better for the House of Lords to disappear as a co-ordi nate branch of the Government. The object of a second house was to supply omisslous and rec tify the defects of the first. In many cases the House of Commons only represents the nation n theory. In a majority of cases the Lords must decide for themselves, but when the House of Commons and the nation agreed on a given point, the functions of the House of Lords passed awny, and the responsibility devolves on the nation and house. We might fairly accept this decision without abnegation ef duty. Opposition to the decided opinion of the nation could only delay the in evitable Issue, aud create a period of disturbance and discontent. He thought the bill under dis cussion Illiberal and injurious, and he did not believe the amendment would be aontemptuously disregarded by the House of Commons, as Las been intimated. He thought governments of a large mnjority gave a prospect of unpre cedented success, but the nation would soon turn against a Ministry displaying a domi neering spirit. Admitting any amount of arro gance in Mr. Gladstone, the House of Commons might consider its own present position as com pared with its i ossible position if the bill was rejected, nothing would be more fatal tuau such a policy. The contest would then be car ried on under disadvantage, and the Houue of Lords would ni ally have to give way. FROM NOVA SCOTIA. The People Anxious to. be Separated from Halifax, June 18.

FROM NEW YORK. An Ex-Krbcl Arrratrd. New York, June 18. Andrew J. Rogers, an ex-Rcbel Colonel, was arrested here on a charge of obtaining various sums of money of parties iu Rhode Island on false pretenses. Rmlnlcencen of Prof. Mltcliel. Fresldent Tuttle, of Wabash College, contri butes to the Cincinnati Oeurtte the following in teresting reminiscences ot rroiessor u. m. Mitchel: PUTTING DOWN A MOD. The date of an Incident connected with Pro fessor Mitchel I cannot state for want of a news paper file, but suppose it to have been lu the winter of 1842-3, when the city of Cincinnati was almost bankrupted by the hard times. As a specimen of the season, I recollect tho fact that two members of a wholesale firm on Pearl street travelled over Indiana and Illinois several weeks In the endeavor to collect some portion of notes, amounting to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In six weeks the two men collected only nine hundred dollars! This was iu the spring of 18-13. About that time as I supposed, occurred the great bank mob of Cincinnati. It was a fearful sight to sec mad dened men, women, and even children, engaged in the work of destruction. Several banks that had been 'run on1 and failed were gutted. The German people were said to be great losers by thece failures, and were furious in their work. As 1 now remember, several banks on Main, be tween Third and Fourth, were thus broken open and robbed. The Franklin and Lafayette Banks expected to be attacked and were said to be thoroughly pronnred to resist. Ihe whole scene was most disgraceful to finaut-iers, that there should be any occasion for the mob, and to the authorities of the city, that it should be possiblo lor a lew imnuria men, in open daylight, to do what was there done that day. it wns wiiiio the mob was cmraced in the work of destruction that my attention was directed to a noise up the street, and which was suddenly explained hy tho appearance of a cora imny of soldiers under the lead of Professor Mitchel. With fixed bayonets and at a rapid pace the soldiers cleared a track through the mob, which nt first scattered, and theu closed np as quickly as ever. Mitchel wheeled his company and walked back again. My impres sion is that this time he ordered his men to fire, which they did with blank cartridges. By this time the mob, finding the place and business too warm, fled. The professor that day looked as brave as a lion, but, as I thought, u little pompous. Certainly ho did bis work as thoroughly and rapidly as he afterwards did iu his celebrated raid into the very heart of re bellion. mitchel's observatory. When Trofcssor Mitchel developed his ulan of building an observatory and buying a telescope, tho expenses were to bo met by securing sub scriptions of stock at twenty-five dollars a share, and the wonderful man actually taught his full time each day aud-then personally solicited sub scriptions from the citi.cns. This was in tho spring, and before the close of the summer term In June lie bad secured three hundred shares. and nt onee the society was organized, and he sent to lurope to purchase the Instrument. Some time during the fall it was my good for tune to near tne rroiessor in the same nail relate to a great audience the story of his ad ventures during that journey. It was egotistic of necessity, for he was relatiuir what ho had nimscit done ana experienced; and he did It most eloquently. He was away from Cincinnati four mouths, and in Hairope a hundred days. In Juno he examined his classes, and in September he resumed the instruction of them tho first day In that short period ho hart visited England. France, and Germany, and then returned to Eng land, where no spent at least two weeks in the observatory at Greenwich. Having satisfied bimsclt bv conference with Professor Airy, of Greenwich Observatory, that there was no such object class as he needed to be had in England, he passed over to Paris, and soon came to me same result there, lie then started for Germany, entirely Ignoring all sight- cuuuiK, ii iu tuuiv mill u uiui uui ul luu Biriugnt line he was following. His course excited the wonder of some, and the anger of others. Hero at Munich, he found what ho was after, and. having closed the bargain, started back, nost haste, for England. Again he called on Pro- jcsHor Airy at tne uoservatory to report Dro press and consult him as to the best methods of mouutiug tho telescope. The Englishman was evidently disgusted at the rapid motions of his American brother, who had "done up Paris and Munich, France and Germany, with such unbecoming haste. To get clear of the superficial fellow, as he regarded Mitchel, he very grutliy told him if he would go down to Cambridge Observatory he would there see a telescope mounted by himself and embodying every improvement lie could mention. l lie suggestion oi tne luigiisuman was very unpleasant to the American, and at first ho re solved not to follow it, but this was to risk his only and greatly coveted chauce of a few weeks in the Greenwich Observatory. With character istic promptness, as he left Professor Airy, he called for a cab and drove rapidly to the railway station, reaching there just in time for tho train to Cambridge. At this place he sprang into a cab and drove to the Observatory, butiouud that Us director was already locked In It for the night. Prolcesor MJicncl at once sougnt an interview with the Professor's wife, and so well pleaded his case that she herself succeeded In getting her husband to allow the stranger to spend the niizht with him in the Observatory. Here the mountings of the telescope were explained and studied minutely, aud a Miultltudo 01 obser vations made and recorded. Professor Mitchel showed his audience the notes of that night's work at Cambridge. At daylight he was in the train for London, and about the time rroiessor Airy was leaving his brcaktast tauio Mitcuei was ringing at his door. Tho Englishman s first salute was, "ao you conciuaea not to uiko my advice about going to Cambridge ?" "Oh, no, sir, by no means," said Mitchell, "I have takeu it, and been down there already !" "You do not mean to Impose that story on me, do yon ?" asked the incredulous Airy. "I tell you the simple fact." was the reply, "and If you will allow me, I will convince you that I have done just what you aavisea. PHILADELPHIA 8TOCK EXCnANGK SALES.
