M. The Court then adjourned at 1 o'clock to meet to morrow. Cnrt r Quarter N"lon-Alllon, P. J. Prison cases were resumed to-day. Joseph Smith, a little, ugly, old-time thief, pleaded guilty to a charge or larceny. One Saturday morn ing, about six weeks ago, he went to a jroi-ery store ino. u . second street, and 5,',i,.,"v sat down upon the door-steos. just beside1 CP,1r door, on which was a lot or cod llsh'thc propittT of the store saw him, and con cluded to watch his' movements. Considering that everything was oppoi i'mv-' 'or nis project., ne toon a bag from under his coat, and began coolly to put tne fish Into It, one by one, until he had appropriated the whole, and then started off. The storekeeper. becoming satisneu ma. we ii-iiuw wns in iurai about it, thought best to stop him, and acted accord ingly. Smith is a hard, knotty, desperate looking little man, and on every occasion he has been here, which has been frequent, he has never had more to say than "Not guilty," which, this time, he curtailed of the "not," it always Iriving proved a surplusaga in his cases. James McFadden plead guilty to a charge or bur glary. About 8 o'clock in tlio morning of Friday labt he entered a house in Farson place, and stole a clock and coat; he had operated so quietly that none of the inmates of the house were awakened, and was congratulating himself upon his fortunate escape, when an officer overhauled him at Beach and Noble streets, with tlic stolen articles in his pos session, and took hlai Into custody. Wilson Harris pleaded guilty to a cnarge oi tne larceny Of a gold wa'cli and chain valued at 27fi, belonging to nr. Minium u. nuuu, uu-i winm Hawk, who was lnuicteo w nii mm iu- not guilty, whb put upon trial for particlpatl- )u ,h0 offense. The testimony was to the eifjct cf.' gnortlv after the tire at Patterson's wirehon- n nl.lHO,,rg with a man known to the de'c(lves a9 i.Ctirlv Fnik,"weit to the oillce j, )untli no. itm A me Street, while he was engsged with a lady patient; he asked thcra wh.U their business there was, but receiving no reply, he con cluded they wished to see him privately, and thererore showed tb-'j lady into another apart ment, leaving his vest, With his watch in it, In ttie oillce. I'pon his return to the office they told him they were commissioned bv the Hope Hose Com pany to solicit contributions for the relief of a U re man who had been injured at Patterson's lire. Ho told them he had no change at that time, but ir they would tell lit in where to send the money he would make a contribution in a day or so. They Insisted tipon receiving the money themselves, but as ho was determined not to give it to them, they at length gave him a number in I'tah street, and took their leave. Shortly afterwards the Doctor discovered his walch and chain had been stolen, and at once put the matter Into the hands or Detective Miller, who Issued circulars to all the pawnbrokers, describing the watch and chain, and demanded their return should they court into the hands or any of the brokers, and learned that the watch had buen pledged with Mr. Kass. The broker at once seut the watch to Mr. Miller, and Doctor Bonn ldcntlUcd It as Ills property, though It had been somewhat altered since It had been out or Ills possession. The description of tlio men as given by Dr. Bonn fullv answered that, oi Hie prisoners, and Harris upon Ills arrest owned up to his guilt. "Curly Frank"' tied the jurisdiction and has not been ar rested. Their representation of authority to raise alms for suffering. firemen was false, and it was learned that the signature of the president of the Hope Hose Company had been forged and used by them. The conviction of Hawk was tirjjed by the District At torney upon the groend that, though there was no direct proof that he had stolen the property, yet he was in company with two men, ono said to be a professional thief and the other a thler by his own admission, and both out upon a base swindling tour, and was present at the commission or the crime, and all the circumstances warranted the presump tion that he want there with the Intention or doing this thing, and aided and abetted him In it. On hchuir of the prisoner. It was argued that if he went there, though In company with dishonest men who perpetrated a theft, yet without an intention to steal, Ids bare presence could not convict him, and unless there was the most positive proof or his com plicity In tho larceny, the Jury could not rorec and strain Inferences and piv.Huuiptlons upon which to base a verdict of guilty. The Jury after an hour's deliberation rendered a verdict oi guilty. Hawk was again put upon trial tor the larceny or a hat valued at Jfl, beloiming to Dr. Mitchell, No. 1104 Piuest. It was testified that ono night he and an other man went to Dr. Mitchell's office aud Suited that there was an urgent case at a raise number In Spruce street, which they wished him to attend. Ho rt-rused to do so, and they went away, pas-ling through an entry where the Doctor's hat was hang ing, ami when they had crone the hat was missed. But nothing further was proved, and the jury acquitted. CITY I X ILLlUII.Ci:, POLITICAL. The Independent Ticket in the Fifteenth Ward lilusM tttccttiiKH, Conventions, Klc. Last evening there was a very large meeting of the Republican citizens of the Fifteenth ward, who weiu favorable to running an Independent ward ticket, held in the Mission House on Brandy wine street, above Fifteenth. Dr. James M. Harris pre sided, and Mr. John I!. Senior acted as Secretary. Alter the objects for which the meeting was called had been stated by Thomas W. Price, Esq., a motion was made by Thomas Cai'aou, Esq., that it was ex pedient to nominate an independent citizen's ward and Assembly ticket. This was debated at length, and several Interesting statements were made by the gentlemen present. Mr. Price gave a long history of the career of Dr. Burnell, the candidate ror Select Council, rrom which he drew the deduction that Jiuruell had not joined the Republican party from any patriotic motives, as during the Rebellion his Copperheadlsm was remarkable. The objection to Thomas it. Glenn, the candidate for Common Coun cil, was that he was not in a condition, pecuniarily, to be able to devcts tho time that would be actually necessary to the duties that would be required. As to Colonel Havls, the speaker did not believe lie could be 'fleered, aud had prior to the nomination advised Colonel Davis to with draw from the canvass. At this point a gentleman arose, aud saldjhat he was opposed to both Messrs. Burnell and Glenn, yet Horn a canvass he had made of three precincts, he did not deem it advisable to run an independent candidate for the Legislature. Being called on for the facts, the speaker said that he had found that in the First precinct but 4 Repub licans objected to Colonel Davis, while IT opposed Dr. Burnell. In the Second precinct 1 were opposed to Davis and sa to Burnell, and In the Third precinct 1'2 opposed Davis ami 4!) Burnell. Mr. McAllister said he came from Twentieth and Parrlsli streets, where Mr. Duvis was decidedly unpopular. Several of the citizens then stated that tncy could vote for Colonel Davis, but that tliey could nor would not support either Dr. Burnell or Mr. Glenn. Somo other speakers believed that Colonel Davis would not stand in the way oi mo success oi tue party, and others asseneu tnu' ne wouiu not withdraw under any consideration. Finally, a motion was carried to proceed to nominate candidates for Select and common councils and for the Assembly. For the first position Benjamin F. Glenn, Esq., was selected, and for the second Clias 11. suppiee, r.sq., was uatiieo. v nen me sunject or the Assembly candidate was taken up, Mr. Price said lie Hoped mat some oi tue gentlemen who had so violently apposed Colonel Davis would name a good substitute. After waiting a lew minutes a gentle man moved to postpone that nomination indcttuitely. Mr. Price said Hint it was not necessary to Include the word indefinitely, whereupon a gentleman re marked, "I'ntil November." The motion to postpone was carried by a clever majority. The Camden County Republican Convention assembles In the Court House, lu Camden, at a o'clock this afternoon, to uouiinaic a State Senator, Sheriff, and three Coroners. A ratification meeting will beheld In the evening, which is to be addressed by Hon Frederick T. Fi clinghuyscii, and others. For Senator Kdward Jlettlc seems to have the Inside track. The chances are that Messrs. Hong, Stokes, and Davis are the only old members of the Legislature who will have opponents from the same side of the house. The teellrg nuainst them is becoming more bitter, as they sie not believed to possess the necessary requirements to quallly theiu ror the position.

She hailed from Grenada, Tho husband for whom she mourned had been, she said, a gallant soldier. After his death she had sought to drown her Borrows by participation In the gay life of Memphis, but wearying of this she came to Paducah. One of our hotels was a little too gay for her, or the young men liked her too much she wasn't sure which so she moved to another hotel, where she won the good will of everybody, and especially or a Buscep. tlblo steamboat man.

This lrrepresaiiilc genius must let himself out on all Important occasions. Tho gold panio has given him a new hobby, and upon it he will exhaust all that wonderful store of logic, a sight of which he oc. castcnully affords the people. This is the way in which lie relieved his oppressed mind yesterday on wan street: You say .that the panic is over. It is not com. nienced. (Sensation.) Is your country richer than before the war? Does the kllllmr of one million of your youth, the destruction of live thousand millions worth of property, add to tlie nation's wealth? (Sen- tianon.) lou can me insane, nere iuiuuom you are, like upoyers, 1 wouni ask some one w n me. (Loud laughter.) Read my gold speech of four years ago. Read my speech delivered two years ago In the Stock Exchange. Did I not foretell plainly what was to come to pass? And so will I do again. The panic, 1 repeat, is not yet begun. You lay all the blame on tne gold gamblers, w nat ignoiauee ; i uu Government is the chief gambler. It is tho Govern ment, 1 say, which cries stiuking llsh on its own credit, by puvlng the soldiers' widows in greenbacks, and the foreigners who supplied tne ouiiets to shoot those soldiers In gold, (heusauon.) xou are selling bitch nuns and Htull'ed aud paper dogs for gold pointers aud greyhounds. (Loud laughter.) on Friday last you bought and sold f."so0,iou,ooo in gold, and tnero are not more mu jiw,, m specie in the entire country. Allow me to give to you a brief view of your financial condition and prHpects. In i8C0-l gold to the amount of $500, uoojjoo waa transferred from this country to the vaults of Knglish bankers. Now, In arrangiug ex change, New Orleaus draws on New York at sixty days, New York on London at sixty, which, count ing iwenty-uve uayn more icu uy iu hih mo ocean, gives one hundred aud forty-five days before the cttHh comes back into the hands of the American, while It only takes foriv-nve days to go to London, sell, and remit, so that tlio ICngilish bankers have the clear une of the money for ono hundred days. Let Grant demand lustaut payment oi tae Ala bama claims, or oiler tho alternative war. (lix- citciiient among the FngllKli brokers.) Otherwise let them drive out the BritiHh Minister, and tear down the British Consulate. (More excitement among tne Knglihlimen.) You will flud that It Is as 1 tell yon. 'I'lils Wall street panic came from London. The llumo was fanned by Peter B. Kweeny and other enemies of the country, in order to atlect the coin ing election, and get possession of the United States 0 reatiury. Again, 1 say that the Government is the great gold gambler, aud that fact answers for all. 1 challenge any one to confute my btatements, and 1 wish It dibilnctly understood that my ideas are not new and unfledged; for four days before the memo rable Friday, as Israel Freyer, In a conversation with the editor of the Suit, I gave hlui my anticipa tions of the coming panic, which now excites tho street and bears so heavily on the commerce of the land. Mr. Train retired amid loud applause, and the shouts of couteuiliug bulls and bears began to rend the air as if new eest had been added to the combat by the dismal forebodings and warlike propositions tii the great wanderer.

Kdward Cardwcll, Secretary of State for the War Department, delivered speech to his constituents at Oxford last even ing, on the subject of the policy of the Govern ment towards Canada. He said the general policy of governing tho colonies from tho Home Government ,was a total failure, and there had consequently been sub stituted for it the policy to encourage them to develop their own power and resource and stimulate them to a spirit of self-reliance. He showed how successful this policy had been in tho case of Canada, and briefly reviewed the progress recently made by that colony. She already had nn army of her own, and such a merchant navy that, if her people chose to adopt uu act puBbcu ior inu jiurpuso, sue mignt become one of tho first maritime powers of the world. This, the speaker said, was the true policy t pursue. If we benefit the Canadiaus we heucllt ourselves. By this policy our colonies have bet- come sources of strength and power, and when the time comcB, aud England calls for support from our colonics, there will be a confederation such as the world never saw under a siuirle sovereign.
