are of sneh a character as to confine their con

Death of an Estimable Ar Venerable
Citizen. John Roset, Esq., died yesterday at
West Philadelphia, in the (seventy-sixth year of
his age. In his active days Mr. Koset was a
prominent merchant. J Us father, Jacob Roset,
having attracted the notice of the Emperor
Joseph II, of Austria, was educated at the Iui-
Eeriid Military Academy at PresUnrg, Hungary;
ut being a devoted admirer of the character of
WashiDgtou.he came to the United Statesin Kyj
expressly to see him, Washington being then in
Philadelphia ab President. From that time he
made this city his home. 8ubseiuentlv he
engaged in business here, associating with him
at a later day his son Mr. John Kosot, just de
ceased, who was born in Philadelphia about the
year 1794. Mr. John Roset possessed in an emi
nent degree the qualities that make up the
character of the true Christian gentlemaa; he
was ruled by a ttrlct sense of honor hi bis own
eonduct, nnd yet bad a broad charity for the
failings of other?; he was firm and resolute in
doing what is right, and yet gentle and courte
ous in all his intercourse in business and social
life.
Mr. Roeet's daughters married several of our
most prominent citizens, among whom are A. J.
Drexel, Dr. J. L. Ludlow, aud John A. BrodheaJ,
and the mourners have the sympathy of the
entire community In their bereavement.

A CoMBiNATON.--A project was let agoing
Fome time ago looking to the union of the Old
and the JnngerMivnnerchor singing societies,
bince then a number of meetings have been held
and all the necessary preliminaries arranged.
Nothing now remakis but the adoption of a
name, for which purpose both of the organiza
tions meet in their respective halls to-night.
Should the union be completed the new society
will be one of the strongest in the country, the
old Manncrchor numbering 50 singers and 450
contributing members, whilst the Junger con
sists of 75 singers and 700 contributing members.
The Intention is to build a magnificent hall in a
central portion of the city, so as to suit all
parties.
Germantown Matters. The Improvements
at the city reservoir, sitnftted on Allen's lane,
Mt. Airy, still continue, and, under the manage
ment of Supervifor Morrill, are rapidly ap
proaching completion. A number of workmen
are still actively engaged, and in the course of a
few weeks the works will again be in successful
operation. The macadamizing of Gfecn street
will bo finished about the first of September.
The Young America Cricket Club have arranged
for all their matches abroad during next month,
when their annual tour takes place. The bridge
across the Wingohocking at Mill street Is very
dilapidated and out of repair. Tho bridge was
built in 1814, and looks as though It might have
been entirely neglected since that time.
Heavt RonnERr. A depraved young scamp
named Thomas Holden, aged but 10 years, yes
terday entered the yard ot a dwelling at Eleventh
and Wharton streets, and stole from off the
clothes-line a newly washed shirt, with which
he proceeded to a pawnbroker's office and se
cured fifteen cents thereon. Thomas was sub
sequently arrested and Alderman Bonsall sent
him to pvison.
Marine. The Delaware Harbor police force
yesterday found at Port Richmond a yawl 14
feet In length, painted red on tho inside and
white on the out. Cn the stern is the word
"Figuen"and the figure 3. The owner can obtain
the property by calling at Front and Noble
streets.

LEGAL mTSLLIGErJCE.
But Utile to Po.
Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Faxson,
There were but two or three trifling cases
before the court this morning, and but one con
viction, that of a deaf mute for entering an
ollice with intent to steal.
The court will adjourn to-morrow for the
term, but the grand jury will not be discharged,
so that in case of an emergency requiring their
action they can do reaany caned together.

Wednesday, Aug. 10,1870. J
The money market to-day is less active, owing
to the unfavorable weather, but there is a fair
demand lor brokers loans, which continue in
much favor both at the banks and elsewhere.
Most lenders avoid time loans, except for short
dates, whenever they can procure employment
for their funds on good collaterals. The result
is more favorable terms for speculative pur
poses than business men of the highest credit
can obtain.
We quote call loans at 5fS6 per cent, and first
class business acceptances at 0(S;8 per cent, for
short dates.
Gold continues active and weak, with sales
opening at 118 and selling down to H7, the
movement up to noon being steadily downward.
Governments are dull and rather unsettled.
The new bonds are weak, but the old Issues con
tinue steady.
Local stocks are active and stronger. State
and city loans quiet; sales of the new sixes at
101. Lehigh gold loan brought 88.
Reading Railroad attracted buyers. Sales at
48.31 48. Pennsylvania sold up to 58; Cam
den and Amboy to 115; Oil Creek to 44 b. o.;
Lehigh Valley to 58; Catawissa preferred to37,
Philadelphia and Erie to 27. In Canal shares
the chief activity was in Lehigh, which sold as
offered at 34(o, aa advance, with 34 b. o.
hid at the close.
The balance of the list was firm but quiet.
Conmerclal Bank sold at GO.
The Sunbury and Lewlstown Railroad bonds
advertised in our columns to-day are a first-class
security, and should arrest the attention of capi
talists. They are tha .first . and only mortgage
bonds issued by the company, and the comple
tion of the road at an earlv day is fully assured.
They bear seven per cent, interest, clear
of all taxes, principal and interest pay
able in gold, and the thickly settled
and thrifty country through which the
road passes, and the exhaustless beds of valu
able iron ores on the lint., will make a very
large and profitable local traffic; and the fact
that it must be the line for the transportation of
all the anthracite coal that goes West, and all
the bituminous coal that goes East, must make
the resources of the company more than ample
not only to meet the interest on
thw bonds, but also to pay divi
dends on the stock. The high price of
Government bonds and the low rate of interest
they are likely to bear will naturally make
capitalists seek first-class home securities for
their surplus means, aud we feel fully war
ranted in commending the Sunbury and Lewis
town securities to the confidence of the public.
It is understood that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will operate the road as soon as it is
completed, and good management can therefore
be safely looked for.

From th y. r. Beraht.
"The speculative Interest of the street, in
view of tho events now transpiring in Europe,
is very naturally more manifest in the Gold
Room than elsewhere; but to-day tho Stock Ex
change was stirred from its long somnolency
and aroused Into something like activity by
rumors that the rival railway corporations have
concluded a treaty of peace anent the expected
movements of the crops this fall and in further
ance of the corporate against the individual
interests of the public.
"Gold was the feature in tho beginning of and
throughout the day. In tho forenoon It was
weak, but comparatively steady. Toward mid
day a quotation of 85 for our five-twenties in
London produced some uneasiness in view of
rumors that the French army had made a stub
born stand, and of opinions that the war In
Europe would bo only the more bitter and pro
tracted for the first reverse to the French
arms. The effect was an advance in gold to
118, the highest point of the day. Thence
forward it grew weak, and as the foreign bank
ers were bold and unhesitating sellers ou the
theory that the war was nearer an end with tho
repulse of Napoleon than if he had made a tri
umphal crossing of the Rhine, the price yielded
to 117, whence, under reports that Napo
leon was deud, his ailments, being aggra
vated by the excitement of his defeat, having
proved suddenly fatal, it fell to 117.'., the de
cline to that point being assisted by sales of
long gold, which was forced upon tho market
through tho obliteration of the speculators'
margins. Tho short .interest in the market
has been and is still very large. Hence the
price did not remain longer than a moment at
111J, but under purchases by the bears, ran up
to 118 and eventually to 1183-a, when It was an
nounced that a million gold had been cleared
through the Custom House for exportto-morrow,
and that the late . steamer to-morrow would
doubtless, increase this figure by a large per

K APOLEOiVS "INCAPACITY.
I.eWuf Keinoved to Prevent Mutiny In the
French Army No OHiclal News of Prua.
Rlnn Movements Why MacMubon was le
irntea.
London, Tuesday, Aug. 9. Letters from
Metz speak in the most undisguised way of the
calamitous and labuious incapacity ot the Km-
yeror. Marshal Lcboeuf and all the military
dandies composing the military staff of the
army utterly lost the confidence of the army, and
tne cnange in toe command was an aosoiute ne
cessity to prevent mutiny.
All this while, there is no official news what
ever of the whereabouts of the Prussian army,
and, under the circumstances, "no news Is bad
news."
It is stated that General MacMahon wanted,
pome days before the battle, to fire the forests
in his front, through which the Germans camo
down unexpectedly upon the French, but the
Emperor declined to authorize the step.
Le Favre, editor of the Soir, who has just ar
rived in Paris from Forbach, says he witnessed
the entire destruction of General Frossard's
corps, and claims to speak for 30,000 French
soldiers who were cut to pieces by the fault of
their leaders, and who lamented with their
latest cry that they fell uselessly. The universal
cry of the army, M. Favre says, Is give us gene
rals that we can trust.
The tioir was hitherto a Government paper,
but it now attacks the Ministers for clinging to
power, and augmenting the garrison of Paris
when every soldier is wanted at the frontier. It
further says: "Every soldier now here Is an
insult to us. If you are incapable of saving your
country, the country must save Itself."
It was rumored in Paris to-day that the Em
peror is expected at St. Cloud incognita.
rKUriSlAN COAST DEFENSES.
The Harbor Fortllicatlona A Prussian Iron
clad Passes the French Fleet Unseen HU
uinrrk on the Objects of the War.
London, Tuesday, Aug. 9. The special cor
respondent of The Tribune at Berlin writes on
Saturday, Cth instant:
"The whole coast is in a state of perfect de
fense. I nave witnessed excellent artillery prac
tice. The iron-clad Arminius, which left
for the North Sea, in the teeth of
the French squadron, has reached port
without seeing or being seen by the French,
though she passed them while at Frederlcksha
ven. The yacht Grille, the swiftest ship of the
Prussian navy, is out on the Baltic, with orders
to keep close to the French and watch their
movements. She Is in no danger of being
taught. A French corvette, near Bornholni,
attempted to cbaso her, but gave it up after half
an hour."
