History of the Vint!, Kir.
To-day the long-expected visitors arrived. For
months past oar military circles have been agi
tated over the news that the famous 7th Regi
ment of New York was to visit our city. When
the first Intimation w.vs made all hands were
anxious to provide an escort, and each regi
ment vied with the other to add eclat to the
occasion. Lieuteaaut-Colonel IIarmanu3 Neff,
of the 2d Regiment, National Guard, at once
tendered the use oi his armory to the visitors,
and offered to do a'.l in his power for them.
But the 7th had other friends, through whose
exertions a resolution was passed through both
branches of Councils, extending to them the
hospitalities of the city.
Iayor Fox, however, with wisdom that is
now commendable, although misunderstood at
the time, promptly vetoed the same, and in his
veto message suggested that the matter be taken
in hand by some of our noted citizens. A meet
ing was then called, and such men as Jay
Cooke, A. II. Drexel, Joseph F. Tobias,
and others taking part, soon made assu
rance doubly sure that the regiment of New
York city would be offered such a reception as
would bring no discredit upon the City of Bro
therly Love. Several adjourned meetings were
held, at which the monetary matters were all
arranged. Meantime Major-General Charles M.
Provost, of the First Division of Pennsylvania
Volunteer Militia, was not idle. Colonel Clark,
of the 7th. had visited this city, aud the
two veterans being thus thrown together soon
fixed up the matter of escort. General Prevost
picked from the division two of its best regi
ments, the 1st and 4th, and ordered them to act
in the capacity named. Both of them were much
pleased with the honor conferred, and have for
two weeks past been making active preparations
for the event. And now a word for the 7 th.
Considerable has been said pro and con, aud
some dissatisfaction has existed, principally all
owing to disappointment.
Certain otlicers who desired to display their
commands on the occasion were somewhat
miffed at not having been chosen, and of course
communicated their displeasure to their subor
dinates, but now happily all this has been set
tled. The 7th, as is well known, is composed
of some of the first men of New York, mer
chants, lawvers, men of wealth and, we might
add, men of renown, for during the "late on
pleasantncss'' as Nasby would 6ay, the 7th fur
nished many valuable and efficient ollicers.
It is truei there are some bulls amongst them,
but yet they are not to be set down as a set of
bullies, nor need any trouble be anticipated
from the growling of" the beam, but, on the
contrary, we can assure our lady readers, and
especially those at Cape May, that the bruins
are all dancers. The regulations of the 7th con
form with those of the regular army: all is
discipline, and the lawyer, merchant, broker,
etc., when on a turnout with his pet regiment,
is just as subservient as any member of Uncle
Sam's frontier guard; and It Is just from such a
course that the 7th has gained its renown. The
following order is an example of the manner iu
which things are done:
Headquarters 7th Regiment,

By order of Coionel Emmons Clare.
Louib Fitzgerald, Erevet Lieutenant-Colonel and
Adjutant.
The arrangements tor the reception have all
been completed, and just here we desire to say a
word or two for that indefatigable worker,
Major Joseph F. Tobias. No man has done
more to advance the interests of the Pennsyl
vania militia than he, and ever since this mat
ter has been broached Major Tobias has been
working like a beaver. The expenses that will
be incurred have been provided lor, and through
his energy and tact, the many little de
tails have all been satisfactorily arranged,
and we hope that in the success of the
affair he will have at least some grati
fication for the time and means devoted by
him to this object. On their arrival In Camden
the 7th were tendered a salute by Battery B
of the New Jersey National Guard. They at
once took the boat, and landing at Walnut street
wharf were taken in charge by a delegation
of citizens and marched up Walnut to Third,
up Third to Chesnut, and up Chesnut to the
Continental. On passing the Mayor's olllce a
marching salute was paid (that ollicial, not
withstanding his veto. After bath and luncheon
at the hotel, the formal escort will take place,
with reference to which the following orders
have been issued:

The 7th Regiment will not, when It can be
avoided, march by the flank: they adhere to the
old system of platoon formation. The street
of our city are generally too narrow tor a dia

countered on the march renders the progress of
troops tedious aud very unsatisfactory iu tho

At 6 o'clock they will he tendered a compli

o'clock they will leave for Cape May.

The regiment will be quartered at the Stock
ton House, but will nevertheless pitch tents and
camp therein. Graffula's Band and drum corps
of thirty men accompany them. The citizens
along the route above published are requested
to display their bunting and not to sprinkle the
street, as dust is much preferrable to slippery
cobble-stones.
WATER AT WORK.
neTord Slrcrt Hubiected to a Bath The iHI
hlon Pa In the Way for odllnes by Clean
llnres The Free Hatha Opened nud la Full
Cleanliness has been reckoned next to godli
ness, but the Rev. John 1). Long, the indefati
gable missionary of the Bedford Street Mission,
regards the two terms as synonymous, espe
cially when he has to deal with the sourn and
oflscouring of the district in which his labors
are carried on. So for six weeks past he has
been energetically at work in the elTort to esta
blish appliances for cleaning the bodies of the
riff-raff, at the same time that an effort is made
to cleanse their hearts.
Free baths on an extensive scale presenied
the only possible chance of accomplishing this
desirable object. Councils were appealed to for
help, and were considerate enough to appro
priate 500 for the purpose, to be expended
under the direction of the Police Committee,
which has general charge of the erection of the
public baths.
Yesterday the bathing appliances were com
pleted and turned over by the committee to the
mission, the Water Department making a free
gift of the aqueous fluid required. The baths
are located in the building No. G17 Alaska
street, adjoining the Mission House. There are
two large tanks, one about sixteen and the other
about twelve feet 6quare, and each has depth
enough for four feet of water, but it is the in
tention to allow ou'y two feet to accumulate to
avoid the risk of drowning any of the smaller
human fry who are going through the scouring
process.
At 3o"clock yesterday afternoon an eager crowd
of Bedford street denizens gathered in the
neighborhood of the Mission House to inaugu
rate the bathing season. It was made up of
all torts and sizes, the unclean predominating
very properly, but the comparatively cleanly
not being altogether absent. Women aud girls
were given preference, for Bedford street is
not oblivious to the amenities and courtesies of
the civilized world, and on the first day of the
season they alone were permitted to dive into
the depths of the tanks. The distinction of
Bei, however, was tho only one made, and
whites and blacks were alike permitted
to rub off some of the accumulation of
loam upon their persons. Between 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and 0 in the evening, 125 persons
were accommodated, a very fair beginning.
The two tanks are of sufficient capacity to bathe
at least 500 different persons in a single day, or
15000 per week. The hours during which the
baths are open are from II o'clock in the morn
ing to 12 noon, from 2 to 6 In the afternoon, and
from 8 to 9 in the evening, and females are ad
mitted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
the alternate days being reserved for males. As
yet the Mission is in possession of but a limited
stock oi sucn bathing dresses as arc almost ab
solutely necessary for tho use of the women and
girls at least, ana donations or materials or old
bathing dresses will be thankfully received at
the Mission House.
The free use of these baths will be a blessed
thing for the whole Bedford street district, and
will tend more than anything else towards stay
ing the ravages of the relapsing fever and ulti
mately eradicating all traces of it. The epi
demic is fairly In hand now, the number of
cases under treatment at the Municipal Hospital
being reported yesterday at 103, a decrease ol
four within two days. During yesterday there
were but lour new cases unearthed. the
general condition of the neighborhood has been
radically improved since the task was com
menced, but much still remains to be done, and
among other things another universal white
washing process will be required before tho
summer is over, .several decided improvements
are now in progress. A sewer is being con
structed on Alaska or Bedford street, from Sixth
to Seventh, and is almost completed.
The cobble-stones on Seventh street
from Lombard to South have also been taken
up and are being relaid, a ceremony that was
much needed. It is desirable that this work
shall be finished as soon as possible, as the street
in us present condition aitords opportunities
tor stagnant water to accumulate; but the
laborers are hard at work to-day and will soon
pericct their loo. Another noticeable improve
ment has been the erection of several public
lountauis lor. the retreshment or man and
beast in the locality. One of these is
at the corner of Sixth and South, another at
Seventh and Lombard, another at Seventh aud
Alaska, another at Seventh and Fitzwater. an
other on Hurst street, and still another at the
corner ot Baker and Spanord streets. Ihese
fountains were constructed by the Philadelphia
Fountain Society, of which Dr. Wilson C.
Swann is President, and are duly appreciated by
the parched creatures who are making constant
use ot tnern, nowever they may be irowned
upon by those who prefer to have the thirsty
drink their ardent liquids.
Alleged Infringement of a Patent-
RieiiT. Mr. H. Mansfield, the agent of the
manufacturer ot tho Sicilian Ualr Kenewer, ar
rived In this city a few weeks asro and preferred
a charge of Infringement of the patent-right for
the same against the firm of R. P. Hall & Co.,
of this city. The particulars of the case as
represented by him are as follows: Some five
years since Hall & Co. had their factory at
Nashua, N. H., and for $30,000 disposed of their
Interest in the manufactory of the Renewer to a
Mr. Gilles, who has been carrying on the busi
ness ever since. Some time ago it was found
that the same article was being manufactured
delpbia. The oflice of tho concern here was at
jno. 4J4 jNorth third Btreet. and the una was
discovered to consist of Messrs. Hall. Worcester
& Small. Detectives Lukens, Tryon, and Levy
were entrusted with the matter. Finding that
the party lived at Yineland, N. J , these gentle
men, uy somearunce Known to themselves, sue
ceeded in getting the entire party in tho city
inis morning ana toon mem into custody, xes
terdav a lot of the good were shipped to St
Johns and Halifax. The prisoners claim that
they were not intertering with the patent-right,
as thev were shipping the Renewer out of Lha
United Stats. They will have a hearing at the
Central fetation at a o ciock tnis aueruoon.
Deatu of one of the Bkooks Would-be
Assassins. Neil McLaughlin, one of the three
now serving out a terra of imprisonment for the
attempted assassination of Revenue Detective
James J. Brooks, died last nhrht. at 9 o'clock, in
the Eastern Penitentiary. The prisoner has
been suffering a lontr time from consumption,
and it is thought that the close confinement to
which be has been subjected has hastened his
death.
Siiot by an Insane Lad About 9J o'clock
this morning fanny vansclver, aged two years,
residine at No. Ui7 Otsego street, was accident
ally shot in the neck by an insane lad, aged ten
years, named Frank Baltokk, whil playing with
ft revolver.
Arrest of One of the West Philadelphia
Roni'EH. Yesterday, shortly after the notice
of robbery and safe-blowing at the office of S.
V. Hall A Co., at t iltr-nftu street and Lancaster
avenne, which occurred on Tuesday night.
Detectives Fletcher and Gorden arrested a man
named Warren Emanuel at bis residence in this
city. On biro was found 4260 in money, tome
of which has been identified by the Messrs. Hall
as their property. On him was also recovered
a lot of iron pins which are used for the purpose
of giving greater leverage to crowbars. These
articles exactly uttcu the crowbar now in me
possession of the detectives, and which was left
china by the thieves, in addition, the doming
which he had worn on that night was wet,
showing that he had ran through the oat field
mentioned by Mr. Hunter, a neighbor of the
Halls, who gave chase to the robbers. He Is
also believed to have been one of the party from
tne tact mat dunug tne cnase one ot tue mieves
turned on Mr. Hunter and fired two shots, and
on F.manuel was tound a revolver with two bar
rels empty. He will have a hearing at the
Central Station this afternoon.
Sharp's Improved Propeller Wheel.
A new propeller wheel, invented by Colonel C.
Sharp, of Sharp's rifle fame, has just been
tested with success on the Colonel s yacht Alio.
This propeller is peculiarly suited to the naviga
tion of canals, shallow rivers, and sounds,
although it is equally well adapted for largo
ships. The old submerged propeller wheel is
liable to be continually clogged and disabled by
sea-weeas, grass, or by a rope or hawser becom
ing jammed between it and the stern-post. The
new propeller Invented by Colonel Sharp is ex
empt from any such mishaps. The shaft and
hub are above water, and are always accessible
in the same manner as side wheels. There are
a number of novel features in the construction
ot the propeller, which add greatly to its effi
ciency, and its many superiorities over the old
submerged wheels "have been amply demon
strated by the experiments on board the Alio,
and there can scarcely be a doubt that it will
eventually supersede them entirely.
"The Edvcational Gazette" enters upon
its third volume in the shape of a handsome
weekly of eight pages, instead of as a monthly.

day. As a weekly its interest and inlluence will
be much increased. The current number con

selected articles on educational, literary, and
scientific subjects, rublished by C. 11. turner

CHARLES DICKENS.
'."Waiter Humphre' i:iock"-Where this Title
Warn ouiid iMr. IHckena' Fortune.
The following appears in the London Daily
.Veio, July 2:
To the Jiditor of the Daily Sews. Sir: In 18C4. In
the course of a tour, I arrived at the town of Bar
nard Castle, In the County of Durham, late on a
winter evening, ana put up at tne principal note., a
larpe, old-fashioned structure, fronting the principal
street. At breakfast the following morning I chanced
to notice on the opposite side of the street a large
c:ock face, with the name Humphrey surrounding
it, most conspicuously exhibited In front of
a watch and ciockmaker's siiep. "How
Odd!" I exclaimed to a gentleman seated beside
me, "here la Master Humphrey's clock!'' "Of
cou' se," said the gentleman, "and don't you know
that Dickens resided here for some weeks when he
was collecting materials for his 'Nicholas Nlckleby,'
and that he chose his title for his next work by ob
fer lng that big clock face from this window?" After
breakfast 1 stepped across to the watchmaker and
asked him whether T had been correctly informed
res pei tinu Mr. Dickens and the clock. The worthy
boiologist entered into particulars. "Mir clock,"
said he, "suggested to Mr. DioVens the title of his
b ok of that name. I have a letter from him stating
this, and a copy of the work luscrlbed with his own
hand. For some years we corresponded. 1 got
acquainted with him just by his comiug across
from the hotel as you have done this morn
ing, and his asking me to inform him about thu
tate of the neighboring boarding schools." Mr.
Humphrey then entered into many particulars
respecting the condition of these schools. Inci
dentally, h said, he had directed Mr. Dickens and
his friend "Phiz" to the school which the two travel
lers afterward rendered infamous by their pen and
rencll : but It wan, he said, by no means the worst
of those institutions. The schoolmaster bad been
very successful in obtaining pupils, and had become
very tyrannical and even insolent to strangers.
He received Mr. Dickens aud his companion
with extreme hauteur, and did not so much as
withdraw his eyes irom the operation of pen
making during their interview. But "Phiz"
sketched him on his nail, and reproduced him bo
exactly, that soon after tne appearance of the novel
the school fell on, aud was ultimately deserted.
Since that period the "Do-the-Boys" description of
school had altogether ceased in the district. Mr.
Humphrey explained how Mr. Dickens' attention
bad been called to the suujeet He much lauded Mr.
Dickens, and in tha'. quiet, geuial manner character
istic of an intelligent Kiiglilim,.u. I sincerely hope
he atiil lives to read these lines. I am, etc.

N. Y. MONEY MAIlKKf YEsrEttDAY.
From tin N. Y. Bera'tl.
"The gold, stock, and Government markets have
been more quiet to-day, but. ai compared wi'li ordi
nary times, exhibited considerable movement.
"The uncertain feeling in the street as to the
peace assurances from Europe, reflected in the ad
vance of the premium the previous evening, was
operative early this morning, when, before the regu
lar commencement of business, sales occurred at
113. From this point there was a decline to 112 on
the announcement that tlve-tweutles in London hud
advauced to b'JVa,a4, and consols to vixWi,
while French rentes came variously from 70 so to
71-40. Although the news telegrams were not so
unanimous that the prospect of a war was dissi
pated, the better feeling iu the London and French
money markets was iuterprtted as the surest index
of the reul situation, and hence gold declined, as
recorded, to 112.
"1 he attention of the Gold Room was next directed
to the bub-Treasury, where at noon olds were
opened for the million of gold ordered to be sold
for the account of the Sinking Fund. The total
amount bid was for t2,7-.iOiR, at prices ranging
from 111a112-20. Inasmuch as the latter 6nure
was bid for the whole amount lo one lot by a promi
nent German banking honse, the Government had
little dinlculty In making the award, whilo the
brokers generally. Interpreting the purchase as an
index of renewed trouble in Europe, started on a
run for the Gold Room again, where the price ad
vanced aimost immediately to 112 V- trom this
point it declined to 112 as soon as It was apparent by
the absence of news that the alarm had been a lalse
one. Later in the afternoon the telegrams from
Europe represented that the question had
assumed an entirely new phase owlug
to the probability that Prussia
would demand an pology from France for tha over
bearing manner in which Napoleon had ma le de
mands upon King Wl.lUm lor an explanation re
garding the nom'Uitlon of Priuoe Leonold. The
consequence was a gradual rise iu gold to 112?,, at
width it closed strong this evening. Altuough minor
influences bad beeu lust sight of iu the uverdh.tdow
lng Interest of the war news, it is not the less cer
tain that the early decline in gold to 112 was assisted
by the reported total.
"The Government list gradually improved with
the decline in gold, the C7s advaneed to HO1,', On
the passage of the Funding 1)111, with the da'jiid per
mitting the Secn-tary of the Treasury wo redeem the
overdue 6-20S with such gold as uiav be deposited in

Despatch to the Associated Prest.
Washington, July 14. The President to-day J
cant if i h fiannta nnrt 1 a rf lha nnrrnannnlnnna 1
relative to questions pending between the
United States and Great Britain. Mr. Motley. In 1
a letter to Mr. Fish, details the conversation with j
Lord Clarendon in January last, during which!
Mr. Motley informed him that it was the desire oiV
the President, when negotiations relative to
the Alabama claims should be considered they
be rewpened at Washington.
It further appears from correspondence in ft
letter from Lord Clarendon to Mr. Motley, May
24 last, that her Majesty's Government considers
it neither useful nor-expedient to resume and
continue a controversial correspondence in
which there is so little hope for one Government
being able to convince the other.

Mannix on an indictment for violating the
neutrality laws commenced this morning at 9 1
o'clock. 11. O. Cheesboro, of Canandaigua, the
counsel for Mannix, said that he was authorized ,
to withdraw the plea of not guilty as to the last
two counts, which charge the prisoner with pro- I
Tiuiug iuu uuxes cuuiaiuinr arms ana ammuni
tion, and which weto shipped to him, and
through him furnished to the Fenians.
Mannix was a captain during the Rebellion.
Mr. Dorsheimer moved for iuderncnt.
Judge Woodruff, in sentencing Starr saidVi I
was a painful duty. The case had been sub
mitted to an unbiassed and intelligent jury, who.
n:ta louna tne only possible verdict tor a con
scientious jury to render. The former service
of the prisoner in defense of his country led
the entire community to expect from him obe- 1
aience to me jaws, as tne jury had recom
mended the prisoner to mercy, he would, in
stead of fining him $3000, with imprisonment,
sentence him to two years' imprisonment in
Auburn Jail, and to nay a fine of $10.
In the'.caeo of Thompson, as there was no-1
consideration entitling mm to greater leniency.
he would pass the same sentence on him. Starr i
and Thompson were found guilty on the first -4
tnree counts ana not guilty on tne last two. 11
The judge said Mannix had wisely pleaded
guilty ana stoou penitently Deiore tne court, v
lie would therefore sentence him to one year's 1
imprisonment and a fine of ten dollars. A
deathly silence prevailed while sentence was
being passed. No demonstrations were made.
The prisoners' friends pressed aronnd and bade
them farewell.
Dorsheimer and other counsel shook hands
with them, and they were removed by Marshal
JTazen. They will go to Anburn to-morrow.
the court will adjourn to-day.

Montiibal, July 14 One of the most fearful T
storms which ever passed over this country A
swept over Montreal last evening. It com- y
mencea about o o clock, ana actually levelled J
everything In Us way. A large number of build
ings were utterly destroyed and hundreds severely
damaged. No loss of life, however, has been
yet reported. Two of the large freight sheds of
the Grand Trunk Railway were prostrated, and
the loss in them alone must be immense. All
the telegraphic communicatiens with the city were
stopped, the wires having been blown dawn as
far as Lachione. The city Is in a state of frantic
excitement, and rumors have spread of still
J greater damages at other points from the vio
ence of the, storm.
