17+ We have just received a copy of
TrAIN'S great speech on the ** Downfall of
England,” deliverel before the ‘“ Beother-
hood of St. Patrick,’ in London. and Bish.
op Hughes’ sermon on the Civil War
America.” They are published by T. B.
Peterson & Bro’s, 306 Chestnut strect, Phil
adelphia, at the low price of ten cents.
The speech of Mr Tray is a most re-
mar kable one, evidencing great ability, and
is characterized by that vein of originality
which is always so prominent-a feature in
the cffor's of this bold and most eccentric
genius, and which invariably so pleases and
delight his trans atlantic audiences, as well
as his readers on this side of the water.
We have not yet read the sermon of Arch-
bishop lluaHEs, but we presume it is not
behind the former efforts of this great and
good man. At all events, we recommend
our friends to procure both of these docu-
ments and peruse them for their own edifi~
cation. They can be had of the Messrs. Pe
terson, for thé trifling sum of ten cents,
done up in neat and substantial pamphlet
form, and are worth preserving.

Washington, Sept. 5, states (from newspa-

They have thrown shells at canal boats ;
they did not bit the boats, consequently no
damage was done. A man who says he
swam the river, says that Jackson had got
to Leesburg with his troops and was going
towards Harper's Ferry, and Longstreet
was marching in the same direction. The
rebels were well supplied with artillery.

The correspondence of the Associated
Press, which is under the supervision of the
Government, tells us chat the rebels have
taken possession of Frederick City, Mary-
land; that they have declared protection
for private property, appointed a provost
guard, and are buying provisions with
United States Treasury Notes. The bridge
over the Monocacy had been seized, the tel-
egraph wires cut, and people who differed
in political sentiment from our Southern
brethern were giing to Pennsylvania. We
have from a special correspondent the opin-
ion, founded upon statements of persons
from the neighborhood, that ‘the condition
of affairs on the Potomac is safe, and he
(the correspoudent) discredits the rumors
of Jackson’s invasion of Maryland. He
