Shorklnaj Memra In the Rural Almnhoiiac of New York How I.iuieulcn nre Chained and 1'oor Hlnrved. Mr. C. U Brace, the philanthropist, has written a letter to the New York Time calling attention to the horrible barbarities in the treatment of tho Insane poor ntlll existing in the country almshouses of New York State. He refers to the revelations made by the committee unpointed by the Legislature two years ago for the Inspection of Charities, ami says: "One member of this Commission, Dr. lloyt, In one of his HraCMslts to a country almshouse, dis covered in a close, lilthy, dark cell, an Innane pauper woman, smeared with blood and lilt li, who had Just riven birth to a child, whose father neither the keeper nor the woman knew. "She hml been cast In there as a pauper lunatic, left about without tare among adult males, Miots, and lunatics, and the result happened to bo wit nessed by the Commissioner himself. Nor was this tho only instance, llnpcatudly in these houses of misery the Committee discovered that the poor, wit less women were corrupted or beguiled by the ruf fians, or vagabonds, or fellow-lutmtics and idiots with whom they were left. A strange, abnormal, hideous race tho oitsprmg of idiocy and lunacy seems springing up as the irult of some of our pau per administration in rural districts. "Among these abodes of suii'erlng the ommittee found over two hundred lunatics bound with ropes find chains, as criminals might be treated ; often in dark, verminous cells, Ultliy to tho last extieme. a number of them, even the women, naked, and all in destitution, dirt, aud misery iliiUcult to conceive. Yet every one of these unhappy creatures, under a skillful system, such as that of our best asylums, would have been associating peacefully with others, or have occupied their room, clothed in a calm mental condition. 'The most terrtvle Instance ol the effect of this almshouse life was detailed to tho writer of this by Dr. lloyt. Home sixty vears since a respectable woman, with a child of about o years of age, was suddenly reduced to povertv, and sent by the authorities to the almshouse In Cortland county. The almshouse life gradually degraded her womanhood, and she re mained there a pauper. Her child grew up a healthy young woman, also a pauper in habits, she gave birth in the almshouse to illegitimate daughters. These, again, grew up like their mother and grand mother. In due time they had respectively two and three children, also I'legitltnate. So Ingrained had the wretched, depraved, dependent life of the alms house become iu them, that wherever these women or their children were sent they turned up soon in the poothouse, and were either returned or went back themselves to the Cortland County Almshouse. "When the Commissioner visited this Institution . lie found nil three of thess last generations pau pers and prostitutes." As for the remedy of the dreadrul state of affairs, Professor Dwlght In his paper read before the Social Science Association the other day proposed a more active Inspection by a committee authorized by the Legislature; another proposition is that the por liotiBe be taken out of the hands of the local autho Titles and put under State control: while Mr. Brace proposes "the entire doing away wit h and extermi nation of these houses of sin and misery." The de tails of his plan are as follows: "According to the statement of Dr. Hoyt there nre some seven thousand persons iu the rural almshouses outside of New York and Brooklyn. Of these seven thousand, over twelve hundred are children who could be provided for in the orphan asylums of the - State ; another large numbei is made up of Idiots, Insane, blind, deaf and dumb, and otherwise diseased persona, who could properly be maintained in the various asylums of tho State. Still another con siderable proportion are composed of able bodied, Idle vagrants and 'revolvers,' both men and women who ought to be put in public workhenses to earn their own living. After all these deductions there would remain, according to Dr. lloyfs estimate only some six hundred paupers who would be the legiti mate subject of the rural almshouses. These could be then reasonably placed out in private families, where they could be more healthfully and economi cally taken care of than In any public Institution. If the county paid but a small sum per week, the rela tives or fritnds of these unfortunate persons would be quite ready to take care of them. HURRICANE. Trrrllte (Sale on I lie KiikIIhIi Co ami. London Times'1 correspondence, dated llamngate, lsin ult., says: Since Saturday wo have been visited with a suc cession of terrilie gale.s, commencing from the S.W., and gradually veering round to the N.N. W. A num ber of minor shipping casualties Have occurred iu the neighborhood, but these are totally eclipsed by the catastrophe that has happened this afternoon, the full particulars of which are still wanting. It appears that a large full-ripgefl ship, with painted ports, and about looo tons burthen, was coming in from the back of the Good win Sands, when she was driven ashore with great violence on the face of the North -Sands Head. Shertly after' o'clock the signal gum were heard firing from the Cull and North Sands Heal lightships, and the Bradford lireboat was speedily maimed, taken In tow of the steam-tug Aid, and put to sea to render aid to the crew of the doomed ship. The Broadstairs lifeboat, belonging to the Hoyal Na tional Lifeboat Institution, was equally prompt, aud without the aid ofBteam reached theevone of danger lirst. The ship, about yo miles oil, could be plainly discerned from tho shore, the mighty waves crash ing over her with terrible fury, sweeping the i decks and- breaking and bending the masts. Unlets the crew wore lashed to the spars none can havo been Aaved, and even then it Is doubtful If 'they have not perished from exhaustion, for the waves washed over the ship fore and aft, incessantly up till dark about is o'clock, at which time neither life-bnats. though both were to the leeward of the vessel, lui Men We to get near her. The Times of the Slut ult. says: In the river a largo amount of damage was causa l by the wind, and several lives wer lost. Not ouly were small craft swamped aud sunk by the force of the wind and tide, but several large vessels broke from their moorings and .came iu collision with others. A barque belonging to Grangemouth was run Into by a large iron continental steamer, and two mn drowned ; ami a boat was capsized oil' Black wall and a boy drowned. At Woolwich and lower down, seve ral laden barpes were sunk ; aud a collision occurred near Greenhithe, whereby two men of the brig Ann, of firUUlrmton, were seriously Injured. The captains of the Scotch boats which arrived yesterday stale that the sea rose to a great height, aud was fearful to look at No vessels . of small tonnage could pos sibly have lived in it, ami it is known that many must have capsized. At Grimsby, It la stated, so great was the force of the wind thut no less than ten vessels were observed ashore, Tneloop Trus:y waa ashore near Cromer, and the schooner Hannah, be longing to Dundee, waalrlven on theOuuileet Sand. On the east coast several vessels had to be assisted into Lowestoft. Harwich, and Yarmouth harbors, having lost anchors and chains, aud sustained other duniHge through the gale. , . , i . l'ULLMAX. I low lie Astonished the Rnrenrliiueut 1'oin mlltve of Couurene. Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette. The retrenchment committee had bad luck with Ms expenses on tho return from California. Tho Government did not lose, however. The inisfortuue happened in this wise: When the committee had filled iu rub si' n, both in a business point of view and .as seekers after pleasure, the Central Paclilc Jlailroad Company made thcut Us guests for the return trip, placed them in Its own cars, and arrauged that the cars tihould tale them through to New York. Mr. Pull man, bowver, when the party reached Promontory, insisted that they should change to one of his cars, which wastUso going directly through. The Central Company objected. Mr. Pullinau Insisted. He would be only too happy to accommodate the com mittee, and aU that to the end of his well nigh end less blarney. The committee thinking that it would l6 better to take hli car than to give the Central Company the trouble of sending one ao far Kost, ac cepted the proposition. All went smoothly till Chicago was reached. There a day's delay occurred, while Mr. Pullman was getting permission to go on with hia car. Thi committee waa delighted. They had met no may like Pullman In all the long way to the Pacific aud iiaok. They talked of resolu tions of respect aud esteem, aud of his never-to-be-forgotten iuvcntlon. But it was decided that those were not material, and so not good enough for him. And then a subseiiption paper went round and Sena torial names were down for ft? each, and the umount was nearly equal to the usual price of a oar lor the number of days it had been used, when consternation fell upon them all They were) drawhig near to New York, aud Mr. Pullman called Henator Patterson and some others aside, aud said: "Well, gentlemen, we are almost at home. His time to talk business. I shall otitrge you :wo for this work.'' Just then, it Is fair to suppose, the visions of that Central cat left at Promontory were far picasanter than the new vision of Pullman. Of ium tiny paid him. It wt not ft pleasant awakening for a p".rty whose aim was retrenchment. But there was both relief ami compensation la the knowledge that a set of silver had not yet been pur chased and marked with the name of Pullman. THE STONEWALL. DrRlng of the MImhIiinIppI Tor Ilodlci. From the Nt. Louis Republican of Tuesday. It was a noble and generous thought of the Mer chants' Exchange to take such prompt ami practical action In regard to the Stonewall disaster, and It waa a yet nobler and more generous deed on the part of the committee who proceeded to Neely's Landing, to volnntecr their services In the perform ance of the melancholy task In which they are now engaged. Two of that committee have had sad per sonal experience in similar calamities Captain Daniel G.Taylor being one of the survivors of tho steamer Crossman, destroyed by Ore on the Missis sippi some eleven years ago, and Colonel O W. Alex ander having shared In the terrible Gasconade accident, and escaped miraculously from that awful slaughter which caused St. Louis to mourn the loss of many of her most honored aud beloved citizens. As has already been stated, tho party were pro vided with yawls, grappling irons, and ropes for tho recovery of tho bodies and a quantity of lumber irom widen to prepare coillns. Early Sunday morn ing the work began, and Is still continuing. Fortu nately the position of the wreck and the nature of the reef o'r bar upon which it lies are such that a strong eddy Is lormed, thereby preventing the corpses of the drowned from drifting out into the swift current, and being swept away Into the channel of the river. Out of this eddy, one after another, the remains of the victims arc drawn to the surface, showing no signs of decay, and looking almost life-like until tho warm air and exposure begin to produce tin; usual marks of advancing decomposition. As fast as re covered thev are laid sldu by side upon the bank, and an Inquest is held over each separately, by Justice Henderson, of Neely's Landing. They are then enclosed In a rough coffin, and a place of In terment has been selected on the crest of a hid a short distance from the river. Here a long grave or trench has been dug, and here they are burled. When all Is over, and the last of those who perished on the Stonewall receive tho rites of sepulture, we hope means will be taken to erect on the summit of that hill, overlooking the scene of the tragedy, a simple but enduring mouiiinent to perpetuate alike the memory of the lost and the event which Bent them to their doom. So heavy was the demand for coillns that the sup ply of lumber carried down by the Belle Memphis proved totally Inadequate, ami more was procured from a neighboring saw mill.. The bodies which are identified, oral least some of them, will be brought to this city for burial. Letters, memoranda, and other articles have been found In the pockets of a few. and these will doubtless be carefully preserved by the committee, and together with any other In formation obtained will be made public on the re turn of the party to St, Louis, it is stated thut but one person Is known with certainty to have burned to death, the charred remains having been dis covered lying on the bollCrs. Many of l lie drowned arc burned about the arms and hands, showing that they dung to the boat until the advancing names forced them to die less painfully iu the bosom of the stream, JAIL DELIVERY. I low Two Geniuses Went Scot Free. From the Albany Journal of Tuesday, A most daring and successful case of jail-breaking occurred in this city last evening Adam W. Cole and John Odell, two notorious crlmluals, having succeeded In eilecting their escape from the Maiden Lune lock-up. Cole was contlued In jail on four charges of assault with Intent to kill. He created quite a sensation In this city a few days ago by at tempting to take the life of Chief Detective Kelly, Oitlcer Malone, and others, while these otllcers were pursuing him through the streets. His companion, Odell, is a burglar from Cohoes. The escape was made about S o'clock, and It was discovered soon afterwards by Jailor Gallup, who entered the room where the prisoners are confined for the purpose of locking them up in their cells for the night. Not seeing Cole, he called his name, but received no reply, .lusl then parties rushed la from the street, and stated that the prisoners were making their eBcape. It was then ascertained that Cole and Odell had cut a hole through the roof, through which tney made their exit. From the roof they jumped down to the roof of a woodshed on the east side of the jail. Itunning along on the roof, they came to an alley way, into which they jumped, a distance of about sixteen feet, and made their way Into Lodge street. A hack was in wultlng on Hue street, into which tlio fugitives got and were lapidly driven away. An examination of the place where tho prisoners made their way through the roof shows that they must have been at work several days in preparing for it. A hole has for some time past existed through the celling over the upper corridor, outside tho ceils, the root being aliout fourteen Inches from the ceil ing. The hole is about eighteen inches square. From the railing of the corridor the prisoners were enabled to crawl through the hole in the celling, and thence to a place directly over the upper cells. Here they had neeu able to work without being observed, having uu old blanket to catch falling particles. The implements used by them were two old case knives made into saws ami a common juck-ktiilc. With these they cut through the roof boards und tin. The distance between the celling and tho rool Is so small that the prisoners must have been obliged to lie on their backs while at work. The other prisoners In jail must have known of their proceedings, Jbut they kept the mutter secret. The police were at once notified of the escape of the prisoners, aud ellurls were made to secure their recapture. At present writing the fuglilvea are still at large. The Sheriff oilers u reward of iM each for their recapture. " CHOLERA. Frl hi fill KainsfH of Hie Ditense In Indiii. Writes a correspondent irom Delhi, Sept. 10: Having just traversed the line from Calcutta to Delhi, and writing from u point only a hundred miles from I'mrltsir, 1 am in position to give some reliable details both as to the ravages of cholera during the present seusou aud the severity of the existing famine in the Punjaub. All ulong tho road from Benares to this city the cholera mortality during the past two mouths has been very severe. Scarcely a place has entirely escaped, however small; aud all the large cities, such as Benares, Allahabad, Lucknow, Agra, and Delhi, havo suffered more or luss heavily. At present the pestilence is not raging with niith!ng approach ing virulence at any place except Lucknow, where the .European deaths are averaging eight aud ten a dur, and at linritsiir tho death rate has fallen to twenty-five (natlvt'B) per diem. There is, indeed, great reason to hope that the epidemic has, for the present year, pretty well run itself out. N6 exact estimate can of course yet be formed of the total mortality it has entailed during the past two or three months, but the official returns already to hand show thut It has been much larger than hitherto expected. During the month of J mm alone there were iio.ooo deaths from cholera In the central province, and for the following two months the rate was not much less. In Eastern Bengal there have certainly been 20,000 deaths during the season, and in the Puniaub, Upper Bengal, aud Rajpootanana the deaths have at the very least been suillcrent to swell up the grand total to 100,000 for the whole of Eastern and Central India. That a "lac" of people have died during the recent epidemic Is certain ; pro bably this very greatly underrates the actual figures. Six hundred Europeans have perished out of a scanty population of some 180,000. HANDY AXDT. Valedictory of the Noted Burglar. From the Chicago Tr ibune of 'Tuesday. Handy Andy takes his leave of the good people of Chicago. He takes it, as he lias taken very many things hereabouts, in the graceful, polished, gentle manly manner peculiarly his own. Here is his part ing salutation: To the 1'eoplt of Chicago and the Editor of the Tribune: Before departing from your city, which I am about to do, 1 beg leave to submit to you my report, and also to say a few words In regard to the many Utile things which have come under my notice while In yeurcity. 1 came here lost June, since which time I have employed myself in such a way in such a pleasant wav that 1 shall never forget Chicago. In the many cities I have visited, never have I been so well received as in Chicago; uorhave I ever met so many klud and obliging resident. I thank them, from the bottom of my heart, for the many costly presents I have received from them. The uumber I have received I will leave you to Judge for yourself or go and ask Pinkerton. Perhaps ho can tell better than 1 of the twenty-eight visits I have made mainly on Michigan and Wabash avenues, but. also, an occasional call la the North and West Divisions. Home lime since my attention waa called to an article in the Time under the head of "Coinpouud Ing Felony." In which the writer condemns many of my friends who, instead ot reporting the case to the pollee, and giving them time to work it up, go aud advertise In the Trivuits for correspondence, and bold interviews, and, of course, always recover their prop rty, etc., etc. What I want to say Is this: Do the people know, when they pay their money to the detectives to hunt up their "jobs," that they are dealing with the very meanest class of thieves In existence? Now. which lathe fairest? They pay us a fair price and get their property back : they pay the detectives a large price and get nothing. Of courso, people are their own Judges. We have a very queer way of disposing of things; and If they who lose know their "biz," I am very Buro we do. We, as brothers, send our best wishes to all who have lost, anything at our hands. All pictures and hair in lockets have been returned, I believe. Very truly, Handy Andy Bros. P. H. I would like to meet some man who has beaten seven houses In six nights; one man, remem ber, U. A. OENTl.E ANNIE. The Hnlnts' Response to ller-IIer Trnthf nines Ilniihled Hhn In Declared to be a Fein 11 1 c I hnrlnlnn and a Falsifier. From the Halt Lake TcUtjrapK We cannot think just now of any two things more diverse, than the woman and the quality which hea ls this article. She Is sailing around the country, giving her lecture on "Whlled Sepulchres; or, Salt Lake City ;" and In doing so she keeps so w Ide from veracity that there seems no danger of their coming together. We can't call her a flippant Miss; she was boin too early in the century for that; ueither will a reckless scold exactly lit her; but she Is another living Illustration of the poet's exclamation: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned:' for did she not wunt to lecture here anil couldn't get the chanceV Nothing but the rankest, spleen could account for the unblushing manner In which sho lets 11 v the wildest romaiicliigs und the most shame less untruths when speaking of I'tah and Its people. This language may be deemed strong when writing concerning a lndyi?) ; but Auna affects tho manners and position of the other sex, even to mounting a mustang male fashion, and as such wo will speak of her. Her "talking apparatus" seems hung In the middle, and moves at a two-twenty gult; and her great effort In tho lecture In question seems to bo getting off the grossest aud most unsubstantial fabrications. To go through It in detail would be Im possible, for we only get a scrap here and there from our exchanges, or a synopsis now and again, lu which the reporters vary as different points strike them. She has been at tho "Hub" lately, giving the Bostonlans a taste of her quality; and those who Judge of Itah from what she Is reported to have said there, may accept Munchau sen as a veritable chronicler of facts. After the usual compliments on the appearance of the city, Anna pitched Into religion and politics, government, and everything elso here, with the air of an old hand at book and speech-making, rivalling Mark Twain's proposed journey around tho world, concerning which, he assures the public, he can write moat and best of places of which he knows nothing. It would be a treat to anybody who can enjoy reckless romancing, and Is acquainted with this Territory, to listen to this lecture. If Anna had taken pains to earn facts while here, It would have spoiled her lec ture sadly, for she could not have Indulged her ex uberant fancy quite so readily. We have not tlino nor space to quote all the baseless fabrications to which she gave utterance, but will content ourselves with a few specimens. She calmly says that there is a very common mistake in regard to I tali, and that is that tho women outnum ber the men; but, Instead of this, Anna avers that there are really more men than women, and the majority of tho men have no wives at all. Anna had great opportunities for lindlug this out, seeing that she spent most of her brief stay here riding around with an embryo United States official who knew nothing of the Territory oh, she Is posted concerning the three hundred and odd cities, towns, and settlements in Vtuh. Wo always thought this was a marrying portion of the country, and that if any man remained single the fault was his own. But these single fellows are all poor, and the girls won't marry a poor man, sho says. We think the single man who remains in povertv In this country oilers very poor encouragement to a girl to become his wife. But what about all the squalid poverty which other romancers on I tali delight to picture? Anna says there are no schools, here, aud then asks pardon she has good reason to do It and savs there are school buildings that will accommodate from one hundred to three hundred pupils, but they are private schools. Don't Auna know a heap about Utah? By-the-by, Bhe Is a greater goose some body has named one after her, you see than we Imagined, or she would never huve allowe l that to get Into print. She should huve examined the minutes of the last session of the Legislature, and then quietly told the reporters that she only said that for effect, but didn't want it to get in print. She didn't know of about two hundred ami llfty schools in Utah, some twenty-live of them, with two colleges In this city, nil public schools, "sho had looked Into the houses und seen half a dozen rooms ad half a dozen wives." Anna, you didn't no it, ana you know you (iiun t. wnut do folks a the "Hub" call such a way of talking? "She had been in the theatre where one man would be attend ed by a score or women, all of them his wives :' which is another. Anna; and then she cried, "O God, let me die where I stand;" but sho thought better of it, and not wishing to make a disturbance by getting up a good die lu the audience, such things ueiug rescrveu lor me oourus, sue cried aga'.n, and this time she said, "Oh, no, let me not die, for that would be cowardly indeed, but give mo streugth to withstand and do battle against thislnldultv:" which Is all clap-trap and bosh, and shows that Anna Is a specimen of the femalu charlatan. But we cannot loiiow her muen lajther. She said : "Brazon-faued things went openly on the streets of Utah that else where wore a mask that were covered up in some way;" and in this, Miss Dickinson, you villffed women a thousandfold nobler and purer In thought and act than yourself! women who aided to pioneer this great West, self-sacrl- liclng, noble, pure, holy, und blameless.

AnulTornnry of the Emancipation Proelnmn tlon 4.rnnd Display by llie Colored People of Bnlliuiore A ProcenMlon Two .Mile I.on. Sjvcial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Baltimore, Nov. 4. All darkeydom is on the move to-day iu honor of the emancipation, uuil tho grand procession of the colored population is now consolidating, which is to march through tho city. The public thoroughfares are thronged with negroes from the surrounding country aud adjoining States aud the city, which pours out her entire colored population. Some of the so cieties and divisions, with banners, music, flags, and nil sorts of fantastic paraphernalia, have already passed, and attracted general attention. Grand chariots, drawn by four horses, bearing men, women, and children, are out, and country wagons filled with whole families The Masons and Odd Fellows appear to excellent advantage. Tho celebrated George II. ITaskcl is Chief Mnrehnl, with n full staff. He is on a white charger, richly caparisoned, and himself cov ered all over with ribbons, badges, and insignias of honor. The other marshals are equally ele gant. Every participant seems iu his best Sun day "go-to-inectin's," with extras. It is sup posed there will bo twenty thousand iu the pro cession when fully formed, and probably fifty thousand colored spectators. Many whites arc also anxious to see the parade. Thus far all is quiet. The negroes appear thoroughly on their good behavior and behave properly. All look happy. Flags and patriotic emblems, with portraits of Lincoln, arc innu merable. The procession has just passed up Baltimore st. It was over an hour in passing a given point, and probably two miles long. The throng of colored and whites on sidewalks and in doors and windows was immense. Tho chief attrac tion was a triumphal car, representing the four quarters of the globe nnd the Goddess of Liberty. Masons, Odd Fellows, different trade associa tions, with veteran soldiers and benevolent so cieties were very numerous, and flags, banners, and music innumerable. The car with colored girls holding flags representing all the recon structed States was quite unique. Many of the devices were highly appropriate. The Knights Templar made a good appear ance. It was, in all respects, a highly creditable affair, and perfect decorum was observed. Tims far there has been no attempt at disturbauce or molestation. There was one carriage in the pro cession containing four white men, including, it is said, the Mayor of Washington. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Some Excitement shooting of a Soldier by a i'olii-eiiian-Tlie Jurisdiction of Civil und .mil iary Tribunals. Fortress Monroe, Nov. 3. Considerable excitement was occasioned in Norfolk on Tues day In judicial circles In relation to tho trial of George Scullatus, the policeman who soma time E-iuee shot a soldier, ouo of the post guards, as alleged In self-defense. Tho case was to come up on Monday morning in the Corporation Court, before Judge B. B. Foster, but an order from General Canby to the post commander and C. H. Porter, Commonwealth's attorney, to havo the prisoner tried by a military commission, put a new face on the matter. The counsel for the prisoner demanded that the trial should proceed, but the attorney for the Commonwealth asked that a nolle prosequi might be entered. The prisoner's counsel urged the right of their client to a trial, and that if the nolle prosequi was granted he should be discharged. Tho gentlemen then respectively made strong appeals to the Court to disregard the order of (ieneral Canby in tho premises, quoting from decisions rendered by Judge Chase to sustain their point. The Commonwealth's attorney, on the other hand, contended that the lioconetruc tiou acts were tho law in V irginia until the State is admitted by Congress; uiid that it was op tional with General Canby whether tho prisoner should be tried by tho civil or tho military court. After hearing tho argument on both sides at some length, Judge Foster remarked, that though the inference was repugnant to his ideas of jus tice, at the same time he recognized tho autho rity of the military, denied the motion to enter a nolle prosequi, aud ordered the veulro discharged and futther proceedings discontinued. This is tho lirst case that has been taken from the civil courts to be tried by the military in this vicinity, and necessarily creates consider able feeling among all parties; but as the offense was committed ngaiust the military, General Cnnby decides thnt it shall be tried by them. The Constitutionality of the Oyster Tax. A movement has been inaugurated by tho ovstennen In this vicinity, for the purpose of testlnfr tho constitutionality or legality of the present oyster tax. They claim that by the law as it now stands, tho oysters are taxed no less than five different times. The oyster Interest in Virginia is a very largo ono, aud although they do not object to paying a reasonable tax upon these bivalves, they think that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and are going to try aud remedy the matter.

The Controversy linded. According lo the New York Ti.ws London corros pondent. who writes on the 2:td nit. the exciting dispute about I'.yroijjaiid his wife and Augusta Leigh is over: The Byron controversy la ended. Whatever Mrs. Stowe may have to say further can only be said In self-defense. Nothing that Lady Byron can have euid or written to Mrs. stowe or others iu luter years can destroy the elfect of her own letters, written to Hon. Augusta Leigh on the eve of the separation, while she was staying with Lord Byron la Picca dilly, anil subsequently. These letters appear in tho Quarterly. In them Lady Byron says : "There is no one whojo society is dearer to me or can contribute more to my happi ness. Should you hereafter condemn me, 1 shall not love you less." The day after Lady Uj rou left Lou don, on January 10, 1810, sliu wrote to Mrs. Leigh: "MvdearA. It Is my greatest comfort that you lira In Piccadilly" that is, staying with her brother. 0,1 the 23d she writes: "You have been, ever since 1 knew you, mv best comforter, and will so remain, un less you grow tired of the ofllee.'' These are followed by letters addressed "My dear est Augusta," and written with the strongest ex pressions of confidence and ailcction letters utterly Impossible for Lady Byron to have written to Mis. Leigh had there been one word of trutn In the story Mrs. Stowe has given to the world, and letters that leave for Mrs. Stowe but one course to take to con fess that she has been deceived by a crazy womau, and to beg the world's pardon for her ill-judged pub lication of that Horrible delusion. Mho may Und some excuse for having given currency to the fulso houd to defend It as a truth Is no longer possible. Escape of a Convict, About 7 o'clock lust Friday evening a convict, named Nathaniel Jones, escaped from the M issa cuusetts State Prison by letting himself down by means of a rope into the prison vard from one of tho shops receutly built, aud in which he was at work laying steam pipes. Taking with mm a pieeti of wrought iron pipe, on reaching tho yard ho bunt it into a hook, fastened It to the rope, threw It upon thu wall, and by this means gained its summit, from which he lowered himself to the street and was free. His absence was soon discovered by the engineer who had charge of him, but Jones was beyond rearh before the alarm could be given. The prisoner was serving out a bix years' sentence for laroeuy. LEGAL irfTELLIGgriCE. Court of Quarter Hesslons Judge Paxson. Prison cases were tried to-day, Judge Paxson for the lirst time presiding. John Corllcs was put upon trial for obtaining a billiard-saloon, bar-room, and fixtures under false pretenses. It was alleged that in Juno, 180$, Charles J. Werner, proprietor of a billiard-saloon and bar room at No. t6 N. Seventh street, advertised his place for sale, and among the applicants was the de fendant, who, upon being informed that the terms of the Kale were llftoo cash, oil'ered lfttw gallons of Im ported liquors stored lu the bonded warehouses of New York. This oiler was declined, and then It was Increased to 2000 gallons, and was accepted. Corlles then drew an order for the liquors upon Charles b Claik, No. 18 William street. Now York, and Werner und Corllcs went together to that city, where tho order was accepted by Clark. Tho order was trans ferred to a Mr. boby, Werner's brother-in-law, living In New York, who was to act for Werner, and then the latter ami Corlies returned to this city, and the billiard-saloon was turned over to Corlies, who soon afterwards sold it at puiilie auction and pocketed the money. Various attempts were made to have the liquor dellvcred.or even to get a sight of It in the original packages, but without avail, aud tho liquor was never delivered, or the value in monev paid for it. , District Court, No. l-Jude Tlinyer.

ATlDCOJIIrlEnCIi!, Omoa or tbi gfmwa TuwAra,ii Ttiuradar, Nov. 4, I 1 1 The discount market Is very active to-day, the dc tnand being well distributed among most branches of trade and manufactures. The banks continue to exercise a shrewd caution In keeping their resources well In hand, and in avoiding acceptances Issued by houses which are known to have crippled their re sources by extending long credits for the purpose of forcing trade. For these there is no resource but the open market, where the rates demanded for ac commodations are sudlclently severe to "take the gilt off the gingerbread" of their Western custom. Call loans are occasionally to he made at 6 per cent on pet securities, but tin railroad or other col. laterals the rales average 10 per cent, all round. The discounting business Is very heavy, and the large offerings of yesterday aud to-day tend to make rates. urm. , Te downward movement In gold continues, sales at the opening being made at 120 , advancing to 127i, and declining about noon to 120';. The course of the national funds Is In harmonr with coin, and prices are again oil; The stock market was exceedingly dull, but the tone of the market was decidedly stronger. In State loans no sales were reported. City sixes were quiet, with sales of the new issues at 1U0. Heading Rullroad was firm aud advanced ,', selling at 48',', cash.
