It seems, according to the state ment of the latter, that the husband came home on Saturday, and desired her to give an account of herself during his absence in the army; that she admitted to him that she had disregarded his wishes in joining a society which required her attendance three nights in the week. The husband then sold the greater portion of the furniture and left her. She admitted that in addition to the charge of desertion, she had commenced proceedings for a divorce. The husband, in reply, declined to give the Court a statement of all his grievances, but averred that after leaving his wife he had offered her money to live, but she had refused it, stating that she wanted a divorce. Judge Ludlow suggested that the parties had bettor arrange their difficulties. The husband said it had gone too far; that his wife had caused him to be arrested on Monday; and as he had re fused to give bail, he had been in custody since and had overstaid his furlough, and no doubt he would have to resign. Judge Lud low then said that the counsel for the wife had gone too far in having the defendant arrested, when there was a suit for divorce pending. He then adjourned the hearing until next term, and allowed the defendant- to enter his own recognizance. Dangerous Speed upon Passenger Rail ways.—The cars of both the Green and Coates and Germantown Passenger Railway Compa nies are run at a dangerous rate of speed on Eighth street,for several squares below Walnut street. The evident object of this fast driving is to get ahead of any car of any opposition line which may be on Walnut street. No at tention whatever is paid to crossings, and the lives of pedestrians are thereby endangered. Some days since a man was knocked down, ruh over and killed at Eighth and Fitzwater streets, and the Coroner’s jury which investigated the case, censured both railway companies for the reckless manner in which their cars are driven. After passing Walnut street, the horses are walked until they reach Arch or Race streets, and a stop of several minutes is almost invaria bly made at Chestnut street. So accustomed have the conductors become to this stoppage at Chestnut street, that it makes but little differ ence to them whether there is sufficient room inside of the cars to accommodate more passen gers. Such is the manner in which the Eighth street lines are conducted. In both instances which we have mentioned, ordinances of the city are violated; first, by fast driving, and se cond, by stopping the cars to solicit passengers. If the companies do not take measures to reme dy the evils complained of, it is to be hoped that the city authorities wifi take the matter in hand. Professor Saunders’s Argument in Behalf of Adisq the Southern Portion of the City in Respect to Ward Bounty Professor Saunders regards Mr. Riley’s resolution, passed unanimously by the delegates of the Wards, recommending the Southern portion of the.city, embracing the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Wards, to the favorable regards of certain parties residing elsewhere, as fonnded in justice as well as prompted by benevolence, from two important facts : First —ln all parts of this extensive district there reside an unusual number of poor people, very many of whom are employed as operatives in establishments beyond the limits of these wards, and, whilst it is true they receive a full and just reward for their services, their labor, nevertheless, increases the wealth of employers residing in other wards. Seconds- Very many of the citizens of these four wards have enlisted to the credit of richer wards, in order to obtain bounties which their own localities could not furnish them,and have thus materially aided the wards of their adop tion to fill up their quotas. It is known, by repeated visits to these wards, that their finance committees are among the most zealous and persevering to he found anywhere, in prosecuting their self-denying appeals, and are, therefore, worthy of the most favorable regards of all patriotic citizens. QReturned Union Prisoners at Annapolis. —The Agent of the Christian Commission at Annapolis, Md,, states that a large number of our men are arriving at that point from Rich mond. About a week ago seven hundred and fifty arrived ; on the 16th inst., four hundred men and fifty officers, and a large number more are daily, expected. These men come destitute of clothing, hungry and sick. The Christian Commission is the only agency at Annapolis to supply their wants. They hare already sent forward several shipments of clothing and stores, but the demands are greater than they have funds to supply. An appeal is therefore fel9-2ms AM USNMKNTB. CHANGE, W AfJTS. S.

A Good Old Aon.—The funeral of Mrs. Nancy James took place yesterday afternoon from her late residence, Shotwell row, Law rence street, above Girard avenue. The de ceased was a colored woman, a native of Bar badoes, and at the time of her death was 110 years of age. She has resided in this city about 80 consequently must have arrived here about the time of the close of the 'Revolutionary war. At that time the city did not extend west of Sixth street, the business and fashionable portion of the town bring Water And Front streets, or but little west of. them. The population then scarcely exceeded that of one of the larger Wards now. Mrs. James has lived to witness very great changes in Philadelphia, and to see her adopted residence raDk among the great cities of the world. The Dnited States, which had then just been recog nized as a nationality, has now become one of the most powerful and enlightened on the face of the earth. It is stated that Mrs. James had her coffin and shroud made upwards ot twenty years ago, and the material for the latter was purchased fifteen years previously. .Soldiers’ Meeting of Unusual Interest.— The 117th Army Meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association, under the auspices of the U. S. Christian Commission, will be held to-morrow (Sabbath) evening, at 71 o’clock, in the West Arch Street Presbyterian Church, corner of Eighteenth and Arch streets. The Pastor, Rev. Dr. Edwards, will preside, and addresses will be delivered by the Rev. J. P. Caldwell and Rev. J. G. Rankin, who reached the city this morning, fresh from the wonderful work of grace now in progress at Warrenton Station, Virginia. The meeting will also be addressed by the Rev. Thomas Atkinson, from the Army of the Cumberland and Lieut. Schluembacb,from the Army of the Potomac. A collection will be taken'to aid the Com mission in its increasing and encouraging work in the various armies in the field. The friends of the soldier are earnestly invited to attend this meeting, which will be one of great in terest.' . The Sale of Oil Paintings, last evening, at Messrs. Scott & Stewart’s sales-rooms, No. 622 Chestnut street, was well attended, and we were glad to see the collection was well appre ciated. Among the many sold were: Greenwood Lake SIIQ View near Newburgh no The Heart of the Andes, after Church 151 String of Birds no Scene near Blue Mountain 125 The balance will be closed ont entirely this evening and we would advise all lovers of the fine arts to attend the sale as there are a number of the choicest to be sold, such as the Horse Fair after Rosa Bonheur. A beautiful Fruit Piece by La Croix. The Mariners Dirge by Atwood and many otherß worthy of note. The Massachusett* in Port.— The U. S. steamer Massachusetts, Lieut., West com manding, arrived off the navy yard last even ing, having made the trip from Charleston bar via Hampton Roads in seventy-twb honrs. Shc brings officers, discharged men, invalids and prisoners. During the cruise she visited all the points on the blockade, and continned as for south as St. John’s river. On her way south she gave chase to and captured the rebel sloop Persis, loaded with cotton, a valuable prize. The Massachusetts bringsno news from Florida. Theft of a Bind.— An adroit individual is supposed to be goiDg around among various jewelry stores and stealing rings. Lait evening he visited Eltenheod’s establishment, 1322 Chestnut street, and stole a guard ring, while chaffering with the proprietor. He is de scribed as about 5 feet 6 inches in height, dark complexion, red face, of German descent, and has the air of a sailor in citizen’s dress. He has marked in India ink on the fingers of his right hand the figures 1,3, 3, 9. Jewelers should bo on the look out for him- The Great Sanitary Fair We under stand the Ninth Section of our public schools are disposed to contribute their portion towards the great fair. Parents, teachers and pupils have resolved themselves into a committee of the whole, and have gone to work with zeal and energy. Among other things, the young ladies of that patriotic institution, the Zane fjtreet Grammar School, intend giving a Con cert, at the Academy of Music, on the 27th of April, that will far exceed anything of the kind that has ever before taken place. Caargid with Robbery.— Three colored women, named Hettie Lewis, Margaret Burton and Maiy C. Wellbank, were before Alderman White yesterday, charged with the larceny of $2OO from Mrs. Alphonso Jones. Thehusband ofMrs. Jones had enlisted in a negro regiment, and received $250 city bounty, $260 of which he gave to his wife. The accused lived with Mrs. Jones. They were held'to answer. Hospital Change. —Assistant Surgeon Samuel A. Storrow, U. S. A., has been ordered to relieve Dr. Knickerbocker, as Sur geon in charge of the Convalescent Hospital, Sixteenth and Filbert streets. Dr. Storrow was for some years a practising physician in Washington city, and was appointed to the army in August, 1861, since which time he has been mainly employed in the field. A Goon Appointment. —Mr. John J. Frank lin has received the appointment of Assistant United States Assessor in the First Collection District in Philadelphia. Mr. Franklin has been connected with the Weigher’s Department in the Custom House, mid he won for himself the reputation of a faithful and competent officer. Deaths in the Army Hospitals.— The fol lowing deaths were reported at the Medical Di rector’s office yesterday : York Hospital, Thos. Cullin, Co. I, 20th Reg’t Invalid Corps; Sum mit House Hospital, Eli Fowler and Dallas Ste venson, Co. B, 32d Reg’t U.S.Colored Troops; Convalescent Hospital, Robert Ervin, Co. D,2d Pa. Artillery. Palm Sunday. — To-morrow will be Palm Sunday. The day is observed in commemora tion of the triumphal entry of the Saviour into Jerusalem. Palm branches were waved by people on that occasion and they were strewed in bis path. Hence the name and observance of the festival. Personal —Colonel A. H. Tippin, of the 68th Regiment P. V., was among the prisoners from Richmond who have iccently - arrived at Annapolis. ' ■ What We Owe to the Sewing Maohinbs. — In no invention that the ingenuity of man has yet given to the world have we a more striking illustration f)f the old, sound proverb, “Peace hath her v'ictorios, no less than war,” than in the invention of the Sewing Machine. The moral oub wh6lb country. ard social revolntion which the introduction of this wonderful economizer of life and labor has already wrought is without a parallel in history. A single firm in this country, engaged in the manulacture of clothing, annually disburses two hundred thousand dollars to operators on Sewing Machines, and it is estimated that more than thirty million dollars per annum are paid' out by the various houses in this business in New York and Philadelphia for Sewing Machine work, and that the aggregate of moneys thus paid out m the United States annually exceeds the enormous sqm of two hundred millions. Under the growth of such, statistics, Hood’s doleful “Song of the Shirt,’’ we ought to thank Heaven, is rapidly becoming obsolete, at least in its application to our own country. In reading over a carefully-prepared record of the "Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Company, whose immense manufactory is located at Bridgeport, Connecticut, and whose business office and salesrooms in this city are located at 704 Chestnut street, we were amazed to find the almost fabulous pioportions to which the business of this company has grown. It is but fifteen years since they commenced operations, and. after steadily increasing their producing facilities from year to year,, their number of . machines manufactured in 1863 alone amounted to over fifty thousand. Notwithstanding this, they still find it impos sible to meet the constantly increasing demand. It may safely be predicted also that the sales of the Wheeler & Wilson Machines for some years to come must increase in geometrical progression. Five thousand of these Machines, for example, are now in use in Philadelphia. Every one of them is a standing advertisement of its merits, which, together with the enter prising and judicious efforts made by the popular agent of the company in this city td let the people know that the best Machine in the world is the B heeler 11 113071, cannot fail to stimulate the demand tor it ad infinitum. Wherever it has been exhibited in com parison with other machines it has carried off the victors palm. It has more scope than any of its rivals, being perfectly well adapted to a greater variety of work, and, owing to the simplicity of its construction, it is less liable to get out of repair and more easily operated. Then, too, the courtesies which this firm extend to the public are not over looked. If it be inconvenient for the pur chaser to visit the salesroom, the order may be forwarded to the office, 704 Chestnut street, where it will be as faithfully filled as if the se lection had been made personally. Machines are thus forwarded to all parts of the country, and full instructions sent, which enable the most inexperienced to operate them without any difficulty. One of the great advantages of buying the “Wheeler & Wilson” is that the investment is not an experimental one, but an absolute cer tainty. We may also state that the Agency, 704 Chestnnt street, has constantly on hand a large assortment of Ladies’ and Children’s Ready made Clothing; also, that family sewing is there done to OTder, and operators, with or. without chines, furnished at short notice. In Bhort,the Wheeler &. Wilson establishment, 704 Chest nut street, known by the beautiful wax figure in the window, is one of the industrial insti tutions of which Philadelphia may be justly proud.

We refer to a very remarkable cure of Deafness, of which a statement by the Rev. S. (i. Bare is'published in the City Notices, headed > ‘To the Deaf. ’ ’ To tbs Deaf.— From childhood I was not only totally deaf in my right ear, but subject to co piouß and offensive discharges from that ear. Two years ago I began to experience ringing sounds in my left ear, and considerable difficulty oi hearing, which gradually increased. Six months ago I ap plied to Dr. Von Mobchziskxb, Anrist, 1027 Wal nut street. lam most happy to testify to his skill and the benefit I have derived from his treatment. The discharge from my right ear has .not only ceased, but, to my great delight, the hearing of both ears is restored to me. I owe Dr. Von Moecbzibkbr a lasting debt of gratitude, and, therefore, feel no hesitation in making this public statement of my case S. G. HARE, Pastor of Attleboro M. E. Church.

Strong endeavors have been made to exceed as little as possible the standard prices of the times preceding the rebel lion. Present prices for fine dress Hats are now $6 and 87.
