On motion n committee of two firemen from each of the fire dlntrlcts was appointed to confer with Councils in relation to the resolution Adopted by Common Branch dispensing with the Appropriation to the hose conipuules. A resolu tion of inquiry was also adopted, asking certain fire companies if they were willing to dispose of their property, and if so, on what terms. The residence of Mr. White, at the corner of White's court and Rose street, near Broad and Fiuwatcr streets, won entered a night or two ago, while the family was In the lower part of the house, and the upper rooms thoroughly ransacked. The thief secured two gold watches, eome silver spoons, and fifty dollars in green backs. The noise made by the depredator was heard by one of the inmates, and upon her going up stairs the rascal tied, getting off safely with the plunder. The Young Men's Christian Association held their monthly meeting last evening, Peter h. Simons, Esq., President, In the chair. After the opening exercises, an address was delivered by Thomas K. Cree, Esq., of Pittsburg, Chair man of the State Executive Committee; subject, "Our Association Work." The address was iollowed by the question for discuHsion: "What are the Duties of the Members of the Young Men's Christian ' Association ?" Several of the members took part in the debate. John L. Shape, Esq., recited a number of choice pieces. Bevent.y-eigbt new members were elected. Domestic Allalra. Gold closed yesterday at 1). -Yesterday's rain extended over a wide range of country. A rumor is alloat in New York of irregu larities in the Merchants' Exchange National Bank. Owing to the unusually mild weather the Hudson is again navigable for many miles north of l'oughkeepsic. A decision was yesterday rendered at Bing Lamton. N. Y., in the Kaiusey-Fiisk case in favor of Fisk & Gould. Lewis Lougrey, a farmer in Washington county, N.

Burglars entered the Lumberman's Savings Bank, in Bangor, Me., on Sunday night, but got nothing, the safo resisting all their efforts. On Sunday evening Eastern California and Nevada were visited by the heaviest earthquake ever experienced in that section. It was felt over a large extent of country. It is proposed to embody the numerous acts relating to the coinage of the country in one law, which, among other provisions, will re move the control of the different mints and assay olfiees from Philadelphia to Washington. From Pembina we learn that the failure of Colonel Dennis to enlist Indians saved the lives of McDougall and his suite. Had a single half breed been killed, his death would have been revenged by the murder of the whole Canadian party. Foreign Allalra. The new Spanish constitution is to be finally settled during: next month. China is reported to have made large con cessions of territory in the Northwest to Russia. Instead of showing liberality, it is said the American bishops blindly follow the Papal lead. The French military secret society, men tioned yesterday, turns out to be a very Insig nificant affair. In the French Corps Legislatif, yesterday, the election of Isaac Pereire, a Government candidate, was annulled by a heavy majority. The French Ministry have not yet resigned, but they will probably do eo to-day, when Olli vicr will be set to work to form a new Cabinet. The London Time republishes the card of the Harvard crew, relative to the late interna tional race, and rejoices in it as an answer to all charges of English unfairness over the event. - STANTON. The Hcsolutlona of the Union League. At a meeting of the Union League yesterday afternoon, the following resolutions were adopted with reference to the death of Hon. Edwin M. Stanton: Jicsoleed. That the members of the Union League of Philadelphia unite with the friends Ot tue country in uie expression 01 me pruiuuuu sorrow tor the death of Edwin M. Stanton, which we deplore as a national bereavement. Jtesolvcd, That we remember with gratitude the faithful and successful management of the War Department of the Government by Mr. Stanton. His fearless disregard of popular pre iudices. and his firmness and honesty in the performance of his duties, were as essential as the army itself to the successful conduct of the war. and contributed larirely to preserve the life of the nation. We remember and honor him as a power in the administration of President Lincoln which no adversity could paralyze, which withstood the fiercest storms that ex pended their fury upon it, and which seemed lifted up, as "a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar t fire by nignt, to conurm anu sirenginen me faith of the American people in the great cause of human libertT. liesolved, That we respectfully tender to the familv .if Mr. Stanton our warmest sympathy in their artllction, and ask their acceptance of these resolutions as a tribute of our respect for his me mory and of our appreciation of those public cervices which render his name illustrious in the liintorv of nations. Jicsoleed, That the Board of Directors bo in structed to forward a copy ot tno loregomg reso lutions to the family on behalf of the League. GENERALITIES. John Bull Doe Not Object to Our Annexing llavil. A late number of the London Times congratu lates the United States on the prospective acqui sition by us of the entire island of Hayti, and draws the following gratifying picture of the Bcheme: "A population ten times as numerous as that now existing, and a trade fifty times as exten sive as that now maintained, could easily be supported by the islaud under a good adminis tration, and "such an administration the Ameri can?, above all other people in the world, are, from their position, their resources, and their character, competent to supply. Of course it is not to be disguised that the acquisition of San Domingo may be but the first step in the way of aggrandizement. That the conterminous terri tory of Hayti must sooner or later be annexed to the American Government on the Island neods no repeating; and that Cuba on one side and Porto Rico on the other may ultimately pass nuder the same rule, Is at least sot Improbable. In days, however, when the earth is thought to be getting too small for its inhabitants, it ought to be matter of unqualified satisfaction that oue of its fairest portions should be redeemed from desolation and waste." AsulHtnnre to Iniiiilarante In Australia. In Australia the revenue derived from public lands is divided Into three parts, one being ap propriated to the assistance of immigration. home of the colonies offer 475 for every suitable English immigrant; others adopt the plan of felling passage-warrants in Australia to persons who with to bring their relatives to the country, the price being proportioned to the value of the persons to be Imported, who pay part of their rassagc-moucy, in most of the colonies no con dition being uttached to the assistance.

The Arab Insurrection in Mesopotamia is still going on, though by the latest accounts the Turkish troops had several victorious en- f:agcmeuts with the insurgents. In which the alter lost a great number of camels aud horses. Ine lurks are well provided with breach loaders and artillery, but it appears that the nomad tribes In the desert between Bagdad and Damascus, which are only nominally sub ject to the Sultan, give active assistance to the insurgents, who are thus enabled to rally after each defeat. The Governor General, Keschid Pasha, has accordingly received instructions from Constantinople to send an expedition to raimyra, in order to cut ott the communication between these tribes and the Mesopotamia!! Arabs. A military cordon is to be established for this purpose along the Euphrates. ihcy appear to be nncartning a considerable number of horrors just now in France. Besides the body of the elder Kinck the corpse of a man has been discovered at Levallois-Perret with one leg frightfully mangled, which appears to have been sawn wiiu a nanu-saw. It is also stated in one of the Paris papers that during the work of demolition rendered necessary by the construc tion of a new street in the Ouartior Saint-Marcel. a cemetery used In the days of the first revolu tion has been uncovered. Among other human remains was found a remarkably beautiful head of a woman in a wonderful state of preservation. The fair hair still adhering to the skull bears the couture in l fashion in 17U3-4, with twisted and rowdercd tresses. There is no doubt that the head belonged to one of the victims of the revo lutionary tribunal, but it is a singular circum stance that tne eyes are covered with a black frontlet. As no mention is made in the chroni cles of the time of any one among those exe cuted being biindioided before mounting the scaffold, this discovery has much puzzled the workmen who have been conducting the excava tions. Le Jleteil says they have sent the head toM. Jules Claretic, who has made the customs and particulars ot the revolution his especial study, on the chance of his being able to solve the mystery which at present envelopes this ac cidental discovery. The Moscow Gazette publishes a letterlfront Paris, which it recommends in a leading article to the special attention of its readers. This letter says that since the interview of Prince Gortschakoff with various political personages at Baden and Ouchy laBt summer, the relations between Kussia and the irench uovernment have been growing mere amicable. "The Kussian Ambassador in Paris was the ob- icct of peculiar attention on the part of the imperor, the French Foreign Minister, and the whole oinciai world; at Constantinople, the Empress Eugenie received General Ignatieff In the most flattering manner, and expressed a wish that all the Kueslan residents in that city should be presented to her; she manifested the warmest sympathy for them, and received the members of the orthodox (Russian) clergy with respectful attention." This change In French policy, the letter proceeds, became more marked as the time approached for the opening of the Suez Canal. "France Is at lenirth convinced that It is Impossible to do anythinir with Turkey. while there is much to be expected of Egypt;" she has therefore determined to modify her Eastern policy, and, if possible, "to draw Austria into the Franco-Russian under standing." But here, says the correspondent, she met with a formidable obstacle in Count Bismark, who was naturally opposed to an ar rangement the consequence of which would be the isolation of Prussia, the count did not lose a moEient, but at once set about "compro mising Austria in the eyes of Russia and France." In Dalmatia and at Constantinople he found materials ready to his hand, and he used them with extraordinary skill. He persuaded the King to send ttie Prussian urown Prince to Vienna, to pershade the Emperor, first, to go to Egypt via Constantinople, thus displeasing France, and then to conclude a treaty with the Sultan for a reciprocal guarantee of their re spective territories against Slavonic insurrec tions, thereby exposing Austria to a serious dis agreement with Russia. "Count Bismark's object," the correspondent concludes, "is now partly attained. At this moment the relations between the Courts of Vienna and St. Peters burg arc extiemely strained, and a singular coldness prevails between Austria and France." An interesting debate took place in the Prussian Parliament on a motion, proposed by the National Liberal party, for establishing a single civil code for all the States of the North German Confederation. This motion was op posed by the Government on the ground that steps are already being taken with this object by the Federal Government, and that the initia tive of such a proceeding should -not come from a single State. Herr Windhorst also spoke against the motion, which he held was merely a move In the direction of centralization. "The road from Berlin to Frankfort," he said, "Is beset with more dangers than that from Turin to Florence, .there is nothing: to tear lrom abroad so long as General Moltke lives, and it is only the enemies of the Confederation that can en courage the Government to pursue the proposed course." Herr von Mallmkrodt, 6pcaking on the same side, declared that if the motion were put into execution there would be an end of the principle of the sovereignty of princes, and even of the Prussian Crown itself. He thought the National Liberals were under a singular illu sion when they spoke of proceeding "through unity to liberty." They forget that to unite the States of the Confederation under Prussia would be simply to make them into powerful military, and therefore absolutist, State. The chief supporters of the motion were Herrcn Miquel, Braun, and Lasker. The former said that the Confederation would lose the right to exist if its power were not increased. "It should be so constructed as to be capable of re ceiviug the nine million Germans who are still outside it." As to centralization, ho considered that it was not daigerous to liberty. There was no danerer of French centralization belnir iutro- duccd Into Germany and Prussia herself was a decentralized power. Herr Braun also pointed out the importance ot developing the Northern Bund with a view to the eventual accession of the Southern Germans. "We must," he said, "deprive the particularists of all their streneth. If they continue to oppose the will of the nation and ally themselves with foreigners, we will form a united Germany in spite of them." Herr Lacker closed the discussion by stating on be half of his party that they would always strive lo maintain a nuerai system in uermany. w e ought not to commit suicide for fear of death As was said by Count Bismark, the paths of German policy are now so clearly traced that it is impossible to go wrong." Tho motion was then passed by a majority of 218 to 110. IiM-IdcntulN. During the mouth Pittsburg has shipped 10,2'Jt'i,0()0 bushels of coal much more than ever before in thc.same time. New Jersey's debt Is f3.09,200. In Janu ary $ 100,01)0 v.111 be paid, in compliance with the law. The Massachusetts Board of Agriculture has offered premiums of 4200, 4125, and 475 for treatises on roads ana, road making, in accord ance with an act of tho last Legislature. The cigar manufacturers in Cincinnati in sist that the price shall bo reduced from one to two dollars per thousand, and their strike throws about three hundred journeymen out of employment. Boston is desirous of making Its crooked paths straight, and has voted to widen, extend and straighten the principal thoroughfares, at a cost ot ta,;wu,uuu, proposing to proceed with the work at once. The nou-execution of the Prohibitory law makes this seem desirable. The Californians are very unhappy because the acoustic arrangements of the new Senate and Assembly chambers are so defective that the legislators despair of ever being able to make themselves heard. But surely that is not an nmiction without its compensations. A man now wcolttj' etyu Uia, wjjga yearo go he opened his little country store In New ersey he adopted the practice of selling mo lasses at two and sixpence per gallon: and so long as he was in trade he never deviated from the figures. It was his advertisement. Poople for many miles around spoke of him as the man who sold molasses at "two and six," and it car- neu a sort oi reputation into regions wuere nis name did not penetrate, and brought him many customers. Tho proprietor of a dmir store in Monasha, Wis., employed a man named Nve to superin tend the building of a new store, and Nye, when he felt thirsty, went to the drug store for whisky. His spells of thirst were frequent, and on settle mi nt Nye demanded an Itemized account, and then entered a complaint against the druggist ior retailing nqnor without a license, i ne men of Menosha, indignant thereat, administered a coat of tar and feathers to Nye, and thereby brought disgrace opou their town and Nye nigh nnto to death's door. "Albion." in tho N. Y. Times advises English youth to remain in their own country, rather man to seek situations here as bookkeepers, alcsmen and clerks. The American youth, he says, are by education better fitted as a rule for uch positions here, and naturally will have the preference shown them by intending em ployers; and, speaking from experience, he ad vises tnose who have served in London counting houses, etc., to let well alone, and to refrain lrom emigrating to these shores, "where a pre mium is set only upon the mechanical and laboring classes." -George Peabody must have been a great heart-smasher in his youth, and his path must have been strewn with broken pledges. Nearly every State claims a lady once young who might have snared nis great fortune with him. Rhode Island is the latest to nut in this claim. The lady in this instance gave un Mr. Peabody. with his wealth and brilliant prospects, and married ner "young American lover, with a moderate in come;" but "her fair cheeks lost their round ness and grew wan aud pale; her lovely eyes had a mournful wistfulness that touched every heart" and must have been very gratifying to tne young American lover with a "moderate income.
