MARY ROBERTS. The faithful mother, the sincere friend, the living Christian, has passed from earth. A long life of usefulness has closed, a life which from its •earliest period was devoted to duty, became sanc tified by Christian charity. Her heart and home were ever open to those who needed her care: the poor and wretohea .-Al ways found in her a friend. - Not only her children will rise up and call her blessed, but have reason to call her Mother. During a painful illness,her constant thought was for others. Her light did indeed shine before men, and will beam more brightly in the presence of the Lord. She will indeed hear the summons, “Well done, good and faithful servant,enter into the joy of thy Lord.” . May the- influence of her bright example be sanctified to her family, and though she has passed from our sight, ‘may she live in our re newed lives. - The world is not a fleeting show, For man’s illusion given, She that hath soothed a widow’s woe, . Or wiped an orphan’s tear, doth know; There’s sometelng here of Heaven. * M. JR. S. "VTEW SPUING MOURNING GOODS daily 1 \ opened by BESSON & SON. Mourning Store, No. 918 CHESTNUT street. N. B.

It* |Vs*=»TfciE UNION BENEVOLENT ASSOUIA- IkS TION—-The Poor and ttxe Season.—On behalf of the poor of the city the managers of the Union Benevolent Association are compelled to make a second appeal for the season for funds. It was hoped that the mildness of the winter and the activity of trade would have made a second appeal unnecessary; but the enormously increased ■cost of every article of living and especially of fuel) has laid burdens upon tha poor which calls for greater liberality towards them; and our treasury is empty. Notwithstanding the appa rent prosperity abroad there is an under eurrent of suffering which is our duty to search out and relieve. The labor of working-men is well remunerated; but that of poor sewing 'women is sot, except in special cases. We know of those who, working late and early, earn but $2 00 per week; who make common shirts for 8125, and drawers for SI 00 per dozen. Men control their wages by banding together and demanding an in crease of pay, but there seems to be no redress for women, who are wholly in the power ot their em ployers. When it is asserted, therefore, that labor is abundant, &c., we point to this class of sufferers, and ask for them and those de pendent Upon them the sympathies of the public. mu3t reminded, however, that it is who are able to labor that our charity tpsS™ Sr ?•* ? ut for those who are incapacitated by the fieS.*is£!5 esB SF infirmities, and upon whom ing animmense amount of suffer aSttte hS£2SK + i twe . ha ™ always with os,” no They are " Wlnter or favorable the times. sS Se? families of ion of cola, or rather 5 ‘f lhem from 88 40 *1“ tpr a ttey are s >;teaa to twenty doll are? for »fdWet&“Cmonprlce T Ou by J? aBket > hundred and forty female V is^r ß ir' y e ba3 one snore of this hind oi suffering than v? dl!COTer to relieve, and it is for themtiStthi= Te made. .

In the ramp and by the authority of the Common* ■wealth ol Pennsylvania. ANDREW a- ouninr, ctuiertioroi inesaid Commonwealth. A PKOCLAiIATI.Ok. nhfras, For some time past it has been known that persons, professing to be agents of other States,have been busily tampering with onr citi zens at home and .in the army, endeavoring, by lalse representationa to induce individuals to en ter dr re-enter from those States, and remonstran ces have been in vain made against the continu ance of this paltry system of seduction, ■And 1 t'Aercas, Information has now been received that one of the regiments of Pennsylvania has en listed almost, bodily as from another State; and it appears to be necessary to take some public means to put onr citizens on their guard against the arts by which results so disastrons to the men andtheir families may be effected in others of her regiments which Pennsylvania has delighted to honor, Jt'cic, therefore, I, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do issue this, my proclamation, addressed to all citizens of the commonwealth, but especially and emphati cally to her veterans in the army, cautioning them against allowing themselves to be seduced from her service. By enlisting in regiments of other States they deprive their families at home ot that generous and liberal aid which our law has provided for them as aright, and not as a charity, they will not en joy the right of sulfrage which an aDproriching amendment of the Constitution will give to our ab sent volunteers,they ent themselves loose from the ties which bind them to their homes, and which binds Pennsylvania to give them constant care and assisiance in the field, an obligation which our S ate has never neglected. It wounded or sick, they will no longer be fostered by our agents, and re ceived with applause and consideration as men who have done honor to Pennsylvania; thev bring the history of their regiments to an abrupt close; th-ir names will no longer be entered on our rolls; all the glorious recollections of their valor and suffer ings will be weakened by the tact that they have abandoned their native State; deserted the great Commonwealth under whose ban ner they have earned for them selves and for her the highest reputation for courage and all the martial virtues, and that they have done this under inducements which are in fact unfounded, and at the very time when their friends and neighbors at home were preparing for them bounties probably iiirgcr than those offered by other States, and certainly much larger, if the snppoit afforded to their families be taken into ac-' count. I therefore appeal to onr noble volunteers not to abandon the Commonwealth. She has been proud of the glory which their course hitherto has shed abundantly on her. As a mother she has a right to the honors to he won in fntnre by her children. Stand by her, and she will stand by you, and you will have the richest reward in the grateful affec tions and sympathies of - your families, your friends, your neighbors and yonr fellow-citizens. But if you leave her for the service of other Stales you throw away all these, for their peo ple will regard you merely as mercenaries, and when they have fulfilled their bargains, will leave you and yonr families to shift for your selves. Becollect your homes and yonr fam ilies and yonr friends and the banners which you have carried so gloriously upon many a bloody field, and which, defaced by shot and shell, but still hearing the names or the battles in TOhich you have been distinguished* sh© has pro- Tided for receiving at the close of the war, and pre serving as holy relics of your patriotism and devo tion to the cause of onr. common country. These things are worth more to you and to yourchildren than money. Bo not grieve and disappoint yonr friends by abandoning them all. I take this occasion to enjoin upon all Magis trates, Bistriet Attorneys and other officers, a strict vigilanee in enforcing the laws of this Com monwealth against all persons who shall within this State attempt to recruit volunteers for other States— .

Portland, February 25.—The steamship Hibernian has arrived from Liverpool, with dates to the lltE inst., and advices via Lon donderry to the 12th. • The Damascus, from Portland, arrived at Londonderry bn the 12th. The Bhip Adelaide, from Liverpool for New York, had put back. There is nothing important from Schleswig. The Post says that England has proposed an armistice preparatory to a Conference. It is supported by France, Russia and Sweden. In Parliament the Earl of Derby attacked the Governmental policy in regard to the Alabama and Laird rams, aria insinuated that the latter was seized under American menaces. He moved for the production of the papers relative thereto. Earl Russell defended the Government and declined to produce the papers pending the legal inquiries. Schleswig, Feb. 11 It is stated that the Danes have evacuated their works at Duppeln, and embarked their stores and war material to Alsen. London, Feb. 12.— The Post, states that the basis of England’s proposition for an armistice is the evacuation of Schleswig, except tkelsland of Alsen, by the Danes. The Richmond correspondent of the London Tunes, asserts that where one slave is now fighting for Lincoln, ten slaves will btf found fighting for the South. The reply of Napoleon to the letter from the Queen of Spain, announcing the marriage of the daughter of the Due de Moutpeusier to the Count de Paris, is said to be couched in very affectionate terms. The January mails from the West Coast of Africa have been received. Trade was gene rally dull. The news is unimportant. The London Times City Article says— “ Whether the rate of discount by the Bank of England,will be more permanent than the last similar reduction on the 24th of December, which it was found necessary to retract in three or tour weeks, must be a doubtful ques tion. The probability is that if the war symptons thicken, the contrac tion that will occur, especially in the German trade.*coupled with the withdrawal of credits and the exercise of general prudence, may cause a further diminution of the pressure to be witnessed. Some-letters from Germany to-day state that an increased sense of internal complications and external dangers, to which the country may bo driven by ;the present course, is beginning in several quarters to be come manifest. The London Times regrets the heavy loss sustained by the British force in the New Zea land battle, but tays the results wore most im portant. Ho much so that the leading among the natives,.William Thompson, wished to offer his submission to the General, immedi ately after the struggle, and was only prevented doing so by the determination of his few re maining followers.

Bulletin have teen familiar, for years, with the advertisements of Messrs. EyreALandell, corner of Fourth and Arch streets. For the last quarter of a century this firm has been established at that locality, and with each year they have endeavored, anal, if we may judge, succeeded, in making their establish ment more attractive than the last. They have now the following’ departments well stocked for the spring of 1E64: Silk Department, Shawl De partment, Dress Goods Department, Mourning Department, Cloth Department, Hosiery and Glove Department, "White Goods Department, House Fur nishing Department. Their wholesale rooms are in the second story, and buyers will find it con ducted as handsomely as the retail departments. Among their stock will always be found, among other goods, plain geode suitable for Friends' wear, of tbe very best qualities. It is scarcely necessary to S’ate these facts to those who have been familiar with the city trade, hut those who are from a dis tance may thank us for directing themvto this emi nently well-ordered and enterurising establish men t. Visitors to the corner of’ Fourth and Arch streets will always find that the goods offered are of the best fabrics and perfectly souifd. Such baits as damaged or inferior articles are never offered here, nor will any customer ever receive leas than full value for the money expended. Dealing thus, Messrs.

Alexander Hunky, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia—Bear Sir: I hare the honor to request the acceptance by the corporate anthorities of the (city of Philadelphia, of one thirteen (13) inch mbrtar shell just exhumed from the terre-plein of the old Fort Yorktown, by a fatigue party working on the present fortifications. From its position in relation with the lines of attack and defence during the siege by the allied army in October,'l7Bl, it was undoubtedly fired from the right or American batteries of General Washington’s second parallel at that time, and. imbedded itself inside of Lord-Cornwallis’s works without explosion. All vestige of the iuse has disappeared but the charge remains. It has been well drowned and is.believed to be inexplosive. If it belongs to any one irmust be the old Conti nental Congress, which it is believed has no use for it. i have therefore taken the liberty of sending it to the city of Philadelphia, where tbeir last session was held, and respectfully suggest that it be placed in Independence Hall with the other relics there collected of colonial and revolutionary days. 1 onor t 0 he > air, with great respect, your obedient servant, ISAAC J.

[Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat. ] \anßurkn, Ark., Feb. 21.—Aseout from the Rio Giande-country has made his way through Texas and Arkansas, and arrived here to-day. Since the arrival of our forces on the Rio Grande, the State of Tamaulipas, near Brownsville, has had five different governors. Governor Serrohas just been compelled to vacate in favor of a governor named Ruis, of the Juarez party, andCoriinas is now tryißg to force Ruis out. JuaTez, the Presi dent ol the Republic, was at Saltillo a few days ago, on his way to Monterey. From there he will probably gotoM&tamoras, and will endeavor to reach Brownsville and claim protection of the United States forces. Our troops are gradually extending their lines and the Mexicans appear very friendly. We have a force at Indianola and Oavalle. The forces ol Governor Ruis, State of Tamauli pas, and of Cortinas, had a lively light on the 12th nit. Governor Rnis notified Gen. Herron, com manding the Federal forces on the Rio Grande, that be could not protect the United States Con sulate, and Pierce, the Consul, begged Gen. Her ron to send a force to take care of him. Gen. Herron took the responsibility, and went into Hatamorns while the fight was going on, with four companies of troops, and moved the Consul’s family to Brownsville, bringing out at the same time >1,000.000 in specie, that was deposited with the consulate. Onr forces did not interfere with the troops of either party, nor did they inter. fere with ns. This movement may create some hubbub, but it is conceded that General Herron acted very properly, and that the invasion for the purpose named did not conflict with the neutrality laws.
