Last evening a serious cutting affray occurred In Boyer's place, an alley running off of Tenth street, above Chesnut. A white man named David Smith was cut with a razor by a colored man, name unknown. The wound is six inches in length, and is on the left side. Dr. Ellshaw, who was summoned to attend the wounded man, pronounced his condition as extremely dan gerous. Later In the evening Reserve Officer Campbell arrested at Fox's Theatre a woman named Ellen Davis, who was in company with tie assassin. The testimony of the prisoner was extremely incoherent, but enough was elicited to show that there had been some kind of a gene ral row previous to the cutting. At a late hour last night tbe assailant of Smith was arrested in a house on Lombard street, above Seventh. He f;ave the name of David Lee, and he ocknow edged that he had committed the deed. lie U locked up in the Central Station and will be before Justice Kerr this afternoon. St. Mary's Hospital. The fourth annual report of the St. Mary's Hospital Association has just been presented to the managers, from which the following facts are gleaned: This association was organized on the 2d of February, 1807, and has collected during the last four years the sum of $14,043 31. Ihere were received in 1870 by this association 84 patients for full payment, of whom many were supported by the association three to six months, and some more than a year. The following is the financial exhibit: Taken in during 1870 by the collectors. .$2700 00 Picnic in 1870 by the association and given for the benefit of the association 1452-47 Total receipts 4158-47 Paid to the Sisters of St. Francis for patients in 1870 2003-55 Balance for the association 1489-92 Previous surplus 3487-20 Balance, January 1, 1871 $4977-18 This remaining sum of $497718 is in the sands of the Sisters of St. Francis, and must be used in accordance with the existing statutes ot the association for the poor patients whom the association sends to the St. Mary's Hospital in Philadelphia. The Sisters, for the benefit of the hospital, are not required to compensate in terest. The object of this association is to collect for the benefit of poor patients, to enlist members for the association, and also to induce others eharitably inclined to gifts of all kinds for the unfortunate. All those recommended by the members, or the members themselves, have, in case of sickness, the preference as to the ad mittance Into the hospital. To become a mem ber of the association a yearly payment of $3, or 25 cents monthly, is required. In accordance with tbe statutes of the association, the money received by Us members for subscriptions, con tributions, and legacies is handed over to the Sisters of St. Francis in the St. Mary's Hospital, who keep a strict account of the money thus paid in to them, and also of the money laid out by them for the patients admitted by the asso ciation. All patients are received without dis tinction as to religion or to language. When patients die in the hospital whom the associa tion has accepted, without means, the associa tion pays the expenses of burial, if there should be no relatives to provide for the same. The Right Rev. Bishop James Wood, D. D., Bishop of Philadelphia, is President ex o.tficio ot this association. The director is the Kev. John W. Cerdemann, pastor of St. Bonifacius' Church. At the late election, during last February, were elected Mrs. A. Somrner, President; M. Mc Carthy, Vice-President; A. J. Glasz, Treasurer; Mies M. Wagner, Secretary. As directors, Mrs. A. Sommer, No. 1014 North Fifth street; M. McCarthy, No. 1009 Beach street; A. J. Glasz, No. 1229 North Seventh street; C. Zuijehoer, No. 1124 Sophia street; C. Christian, No. 029 East York street: J. Hardlck, No. 507 Reed street; E. Stoeckel, No. 1229 South Third street. It Is much desired that the institution should be liberally supported by its friends. During the last month the receipts were only $247"10, while the expenses were $427. An Old Coloked Man Blows His Buains Out In a lot where the Satterlee Hospital formerly stood, on Forty-third street, below Spruce street, at 9 o'clock this morning, there was found an old colored man with his brains blown out. He was sitting up, with his back resting against a tree. The top of the scalp was blown some twenty feet distance. The brains were scattered here and there, and the man was literally a mass of blood. The deceased had undoubtedly committed suicide. His left hand grasped au old horse pistol. In his pocket was found a shot pouch, half filled with large shot. Lying by his side was a soldier's canteen, half filled with whisky. lie was dressed In an old suit of soldier's clothes. The Coroner will hold an inquest. Disorderly Conduct. John Miller and two other men were disorderly at Second and South streets last evening, when Officer Moore, of the Second district, interfered for the preservation of the peace of the locality. Impudence was -given, when the officer and a private watchman undertook to arrest the peace-breakers. The watchman received a pretty thorough beating at the hands of Miller. Tho parties were finally arrested, and Miller was committed by Alder man Lutz and the other two held in bail. Impudent Theft William IlT Batton, who Is accused of being an old thief, vesterday after noon entered the restaurant of Tom Krouts, in the basement of the Sixteenth District Station House, and while the proprietor wa3 engaged, etole from the cash drawer a meerschaum pipe, 13 In cash, and a lew other petty articles.

To-day at 13 o'clock noon, a meeting of mem bers of the Philadelphia bar was held in the Supreme Court room, for the purpose ot taking action on the death of the late Ellis Lewis, ex Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania. On motion of Jnd?e Parsons Chief Justice Thompson was called to the chair. Colonel J. Ross Snowden and Henry M. Phillips acted as secretaries. Judge Thompson, on calling the meeting to order, paid a tribute to the memory of the deceased and reconnted several lncideuts connected with his life which had come within the speaker's personal knowledge. Ills services to the law and the State were Incalculable. Judge Thompson and Judge Lewis were in the Legislature together at the time of the great excitement on the subject of tho inter nal Improvements in the State. The two were placed on the special committee on that subject. They were also on a committee to visit the prisons of Philadelphia during the recess of the Legislature. The? then visited the debtors' department of the County Prison, and found many there who were lmptisoped for debts less than five dollars. Judge LCft 18 framed a repoit on this subject, and drew up a bill, which was passed, concerning Imprisonment for small debts, and this was the first step towards the abolishment of the then very popular custom of debtors' imprisonment. The speaker then men tioned tie several oltlces which had been held at different times by the deceased. He was on the bench at the time that Judge Thompson was elected his successor. His judicial knowledge Is an In valuable lesacy to the legal profession. His deci sions were always supported by reason, and they came as quick as lightning. Judge Parsons made a few remarks, saying that among all the distinguished gentlemen who have occupied a seat on tho Supreme Bench, It Is no dis credit to any. to say that Bills Lewis was pre eminent. His name and fame will live as long as our reports are In print. I became acquainted with him first about the year 1822, In Lycoming county, where 1 then resided. In 1320 he had a serious ill ness, which it was feared would result in a loss of one of his limbs. This catastrophe was, however, mar clfully averted. Hut while he was 111 he requested me, who had Just entered the bir, to take charge of the prosecutions of which he had the care as the District Attorney of tbe county. This was a great help to me. He was always ready to help every young lawyer. The Legislature of which he became a member held more distinguished men than have been In that body at any time during the last fortv-five years. Yet hU tawnts were such that he held his own firmly against them all. While President Judge of the courts of Lancaster county he wrote his celebrated Treatise on Criminal Law. Judge Parsons then submitted the following reso lutions : Whereat. At the ndvanoed affa of naarly seventy-three years, the Hun. Kill Lowis. late Ohiof Justine of tna Hu pi erne Court f Pennsylvania, a gentleman who has tilled many prominent politica, official and judicial station!), in this Commonwealtn with great efflcienoy.ndelity, as well as with singular satisfaction to all.wlioaaa man of unblemish ed moral reputation, and highly esteemed for bis constant benevolence to the distressed, died at bis residence in This oily on tho 19th inst., lull of years and honors, it is but proper that tbe bar of Pniladelphia, a place where he has resided for many years, shou'd in a pabho meeting, express in a iittirg manner tboir appreciation of bis excel lence; therefore jietoltui, 1 hat in the death of the estimable citizen and distinguished lawyer and upright judge, we feel the Iohs of a gentleman who, by the purity of hit judicial life, in the administration of justice in the various tribunanl where he has been called to preside, and the profound legal learning which be has exhibited in all thoso various stations, aB well as that earnest search after truth and justice in all the numerous causes which have beon brought before him for adjudication we say a great man has died. Kennlcrd, That we deplore the death of Judge Lewis as one who, by his research and varied learning, has also con tributed largely to the medical jurisprudence of tbe pro fession, to gonoral literature, poetry, and scisnoe, and who at all tunes had a heart tilled with benevolence ami kindness for the suffering and aillioted, which was ever open for their relief. i . i i .I k., wiiu. ih. k.. a!

Jtolrcrl. ThBt a committee of seven ba annotated bv the chairman of this meeting to convey to the family of the deceased onr deep sympathy with them in tbe loss they have sustained, a-a that a copy of these resolutions be presented at tbe same time. Htsoloml, That in testimony of onr respect for the memory of our distinguished friend we will attend his funeral tnia aiternoon. The resolutions were seconded by George W. Bid die In a shrt speech. Judge Porter followed with some personal recol lections or the late cniei justice. David Webster, JEsq., also paid a tribute to the memory oi tne deceased. Tbe resolutions were then unanimously adopted. The Chair annointed on the committee Messrs. Parsons, Bldddle, Porter, end Webster, F. Carroll Brewster. Mr. Green, of Northampton county, and Theodore Cuyler. The omcers or tne meceing were auaea to ine committee. Adjourned. PERJURY.
