O'Donnell and his colleagues, they can hardly afford to disregard the very strong expression of opinion which the news of the capture of the Covadonga has elicited. We may ex pect,therefore, to find that whoever may be appointed to succeed Admiral Pareja will be instructed to press for satisfaction with the whole power at his d isposal. It matters not now that the original cause of quarrel against the Chileans had no solid founda tion, and could not be supported by any reasonable argument. The dispute has passed out of its primary phase, and the Spanish government have now cast upda them the duty of vindicating the national honor, which has been co , npromised by a defeat of the Spanish arms. So this un happy matter stands. CITY BULLETIN. • CoßoyEres INQITEST.—Coroner Taylor yes terday afternoon held an inquest on the body of Captain Joseph H. Cox, of the Bri tish brig Theodorus, who died from the ef fects of stabs inflicted by Morris Abrams, one of the crew, on Tuesday morning last. A number of witnesses were examined, but no facts, beyond those already published in the BULLETIN, were elicited. The testi mony showed that Abrams - had deserted in company with two others; that the three were taken to the vessel on Tuesday morn ing by Constable Crawford, that op the way to the wharf Abrams wanted to see the Bri tish Consul, and said something about pat ting a bullet through the captain; that when be got on board he refused to work. and Captain Cox threatened to put him in irons; that he then diew a knife and made a dash at the captain ; that the latter ran and was pursued by Abrams and his fellow-desert ers ; that Abrams struck the captain, and Cox commenced to bleed, exclaiming, "I am stabbtd !" that James Hatfield, the mate, seized Abrams and forced him back against the rail, when the knife was dropped over board. One witness testified positively to having seen Abrams stab the Captain, and the verdict of the jury was that death was caused by a stab inflicted by Abrams. The murderer was then committed to prison. He is an Irishman, about 30 years of age and shipped at St. J ohns, N. 8., on the 29th of December. FIRE IN THE SIXTEENTH WARD—SPOKE FACTORY DESTROYED. This morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke out in the Philadelphia Spoke and Hub Works, lo cated on New Market street above Laurel, in the Sixteenth Ward. The building was frame, with an imitation rough cast front, and was two stories in height. It belonged to the Harmony Methodist congregation, and was formerly used as a church. At the time of the fire the structure was occupied by Eldredge ct, Buckley, for the manufac ture of spokes, hubs and tellies. There was considerable machinery in the lower part of the building. The flames originated in the boiler room, in the south-eastern portion of the building and spread rapidly throughout the entire structure. The building and its contents were almost entirely destroyed. The machinery, which was in the lower part of the factory, was considerably damaged by water. There was not much stock or material on hand, as the manufactured articles were sent away every day. Messrs. Eldredge 4:4 Buckley are insured for 0,000 in the Royal and Etna Insurance Companies. This will fully cover their loss. On the building there is an insurance of $1,600 in the Fire Association, and $l,OOO in the Royal, which will also cover the loss. The fire originated accidentally. A WELL-MBEs= ColtEr.tm - ricT.—Mrs. Anna C. Benson, President of the Ladies' First Union Association, has been the reci pient of a beautiful silver tea service, as a testimonial in appreciation of her untiring efforts, to alleviate the sufferings of the dis abled soldiers and their impoverished fami lies, as well as the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in defence of the Union. We are glad to learn that there are those who give practical demonstration of their approval of the noble conduct of woman m this glorious cause. Mrs.Benson'a unwearied attention to the sick and wounded soldiers can only meet its reward in another and a better world, where she may join those brave patriots whose dying hours were soothed by her gentle tenderness. DOMESTIC I.l,Aitiorrs.—Prices in market this morning were as follows: Apples, 35 to 40 cents per half peck ; butter, 55 to 60 cents per pound ; celery, 8 cents per bunch; cran berries, 12 to 18 cents per quart; eggs, 37 to 40 cents per dozen; roast beef, 20 to 24 cents per pound; sirloin steaks, 28 to 32 cents per pound; mutton, 9 to 16 cents per pound; chops, 18 to 20 cents per pound; parsnips. 20 to 25 cents per half peck; pork 16 to 20 cents per pound; potatoes, 20 to 25 cents per half peck; poultry, 25 to 28 cents per pound; turnips, 14 to 16 cents per half peck ; and Veal, 12 to 25 cents per pound. SWINDLING A Soisnms.—Nathan Williams and William Redding, both colored, were before Ald. Moore this morning upon the charge of conspiracy to defraud a soldier. Williams professes to be a fortune teller, and was to tell the soldier three numbers by which he could make a strike in a lottery. The soldier was to pay $25, and handed over a hundred dollar bill. Williams, it is alleged, started out to get the note changed, but did not return. Redding is alleged to have been an accomplice in the transaction. Both were committed in default of $l,OOO bail to answer. MEETING OF SABBATH SCHOOL CHIL DREN.—An interesting meeting of Sabbath School children will be held in the North Broad Street Presbyterian Church, Broad and Green streets, to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, on which occasion addresses will be made by Hon. Oliver Dyer,of Brooklyn, and Rev. C. W.Van Meter, of Howard Mis sion, N.Y. The last named gentleman will have twelve little girls from the Home for Little Wanderers, N. Y.. with him, who will sing a number of very pretty little songs. CHARGED WITH RoßßEßY.—Before Ald. Beitler, yesterday afternoon, two colored men named Wm. Jones and Henry Schultz were charged with the larceny of a large number of boots and shoes. The accused, it is alleged, broke into the shop of Mr. Haldel, on Lombard street, early yesterday morning. The boots and shoes were recovered by the detectives in a house in Radcliff avenue, where the prisoners were taken into custody. They were com mitted to answer. MOYALMENSLNG SOUP Socturx.—This So ciety has been in operation this season five weeks, and during this time has given out 2,500 loaves of bread, 2,500 pounds of meal, and 200 gallons of soup daily. Owing to the demand thus made upon the managers, the treasury has been nearly exhausted. Mr. Robert Graffen, the President, No. 537 Pine street; E. R. Stewart, Eighth and Chestnut street, or Collins West, the Treasurer, No. 302 South Second street, will receive dona tions for this praiseworthy object. Thu Crocus ROBBERY.-A young man who gave his name as John Brown, was be fore Alderman Beitler yesterday afternoon, charged with having been concerned in the larceny of a safe containing $1,120 75, from the circus building at Tenth and Callowhill streets. A little girl, a witness in the case, identified the prisoner as one of the party seen carrying the safe away. Brown was committed to answer. SOLDIMBe MEETING.—The mass meeting of soldiers and sailors in favor of an equall zation of bounty, will be held this eveninz in fronf Independence Hall. The stand for the iffoeakers was put up this morning. WSNAMAKER tic BROWN, CLOTHIERS.— We well remember, some years since, of visiting the famous hard ware sto re of Erastus Corning & Co., at Albany, N. Y. There it was, a plain brown brick building, not BO pretentious by far as some of its neighbors, and of all others the very one we should not have looked for, as the store of the great merchant, but when we stepped inside and saw how the goods were piled and crowded in every inch of space, we forgot all about the plain brown front outside, and then realized that the extent of a firm's business could not be determined by the outside ap pearance of the store. The Clothing House of Wanamaker ,Sc Brown, at S. E. corner of Sixth and Market streets, popularly known as Oak Hall, brings the above incident forci bly before us; though occupying rather an old building, and not so grand in appearance as many others built more recently, yet a close inspection of its immense sale and manufacturing rooms convince us that Wanamaker .1. Brown do the clothing busi ness on the Corning plan. The entire six story building is like one vast bee hive, and those who take a pride in the prosperity of manufactures in our city, cannot help being gratified on visiting this great establisement, and wit nessing its admirable managemen and ex cellent system in the manufacture of fine clothing, to place it in reach of the customer at the lowest prices. The upper rooms of the building are used to examine and sponge the goods, all of which pass the closest in spection before going to the cutters, and in the fourth story the work is cat and given out the hands, and here, also, the wholesale department is located. All the other floors are used as salesrooms, and every nook and corner is literally "crammed" with articles of Clothing for Men, Youth and Children, embracing everything from the richest cuts tom-made-work to the simplest fabric of men's wear. On the first floor the custom department is in full operation, with a fine corps of tasteful cutters, and a choice assort ment of uncut goods, where those who pre fer can be measured, and have their cloth ing made to order. The inducements presented by this house and which command for it such a large trade, are well worthy of more than a passing thought, viz: 1. Its facilities to get goods at first hands. 2. Its high character for reliability. 3. Its superior workmanship. 4. Its enormous stock and great variety. b. Its very reasonable prices. 6. Its prompt, polite and patient attention to customers. There can be no hesitation in recommend ing such a house as this. A DESTRUCTIVE PARTY. Alderman Shoemaker had before him this morning two young men, named John Haas and Henry Ross, charged with malicious mis chief. It is alleged that on Wednesday night last they went to a lager beer saloon at Germantown road and Otis street, as saulted the proprietor, broke the windws, smashed the glasses, and destroyed things in general in the saloon. They were com mitted in default of $l,OOO bail. Suiction.—Mrs. Sarah Stevenson, aged about fifty years, residing at No. 2313 Lom bard street, committed suicide last evening by hanging herself.

SINGULAR FREAK—A cotemporary says It recently noticed a large gull or fish hawk poising himself, and oscillating with his grand wins out stretched over and near the roof of a house «e stood aid watched him for a few moments, fur he seemed to be perfectly fascinated with the smoke or odor of the chimney, and apparently laved himself In It with the greatest pleasure, Presently, as wo gazed, he lifted eimself gradually to some two or three hundred yards more of altitude, and then, after one slow circle, darted like an arrow at the roof, He must, of course' have dashed himself to death, but whether he went Into the chimney, or broke himself upon the roof, we could not see. It Is needless to observe that the coal, from which the fire was made that made the smoke, was made from coal sold by W. W. Alter, No. 957 N. Ninth street. Possibly it may have been ordered at Alter's branch office, at the corner of Sixth and Spring Gar den streets. THE WATER WORKS QUESTION.—Henry M. Birkinbine, Esq., who was employed by the Committee of Council to survey the Water Works and report on the value thereof, has just finished his labors and made a lengthy report. By his estimate, the total cost of the works, after being put in complete running order, sufficiently ca pacious to furnish a city containing fifty thousand inhabitants with a bountiful supply of water, will be $292,858 15. This will be the actual debt incurred in the pur chase and improvements of the works, the interest on which, at six per cent., is 617,- 571 48; making a total the first year of 6,310,429 63, while the receipts from the works for the past year are set down at $16,000, being $1,571 48 less than enough to pay the interest. It is believed that the income can be keatly increased, which must inevitably b 0 the case. It is clear that these works should belong to the city, for there are many disadvantages which the people now experience which would then De remedied; but, as share is a diversity of opinion concerning the expediency of run ning the city into debt to any greater extent it would be a wise policy for Council to sub mit it to a vote of the people at the next municipal election, and thus settle the mat ter at the ballot-box. CAMDEN CITY HALL.—The dilapidated condition of the old one-and-a-half-story building on the north side of Federal street, above Fourth, occupied as the council cham ber—with its two little pens, where the Mayor and Clerk of Commis "hold forth," is truly a disgrace to the city. It would have answered very well when Camden had only three or four hundred citizens, bat uow, as it embraces a population of upwards of eighteen thousand, it is perfectly inade quate. The character of a city loses nothing in providing convenient and fine public buildings for the safety of records and the transaction of business connected with mu nicipal government. At the present moment Camden is behindhand in all those essen tial improvements which go to give it pub lic importance. Even the city jail is desti tute of room, for often it is so filled that prisoners have to be removed to the county jail, in many instances those who have been arrested for petty offences. EXTRA.. ArRETINGE4.—An extra and very interesting meeting is now in progress in the Third Street Methodist Episcopal Church, New Jersey 3latters. under the pastoral charge of Rev. S. Van sant, and quite a number of persons have been led to conversion during the meeting. On Monday and Tuesday evenings next,the Rev. Thomas Hanlon, of Trenton, will preach in this church. BOARD OF EDITCATION.—This body has suspended the Teachers' Institute,and passed a resolution requiring . teachers to give one month's notice of their intention to resign. The seats of Jacob H. Sides,of North Ward, and Morris R. Hamilton. of Middle Ward, were declared vacant, they having removed from the city. ConarrrrEAN—Two men named Robert Graham and Alexander Barnett were com mitted yesterday by Justice Gassady, on a charge of falsely attempting to arrest Eu gene Hardy, as a deserter. Mr. Hardy had never been in the service, and the two men had no authority to arrest. SAD ACCIDENT.—A gentleman named Charles Merry, a day or two since, while experimenting with some chemicals, in Camden, met with a serious accident, by a premature explosion, causing him to be badly burned about the face, hands and arms. EXTRAORDINARY RESURRECTION.—Four days after the rebels fired on Fort Sumter a son of Mrs. Duncan,_of Mecca, Ohio,enlisted for the war. Rejoined a Western regiment, and after being in several battles, was re ported killed at the battle of Stone River. His body was brought home and interred. Afterwards intelligence was brought to the parents by returned Union prisoners that their son was not dead, but in a rebel prison in Georgia. Other prisoners, returning from there last spring, brought the sad news of his death to the sorely distressed family. When the war closed an opportunity was offered to penetrate the rebel lines. Mr. Duncan sent down and had his son brought home again and buried. Having had him buried twice, as was supposed, it was natu ral that they should be reconciled to their loss; but a few days ago their son Bob, in spite of wounds, and deaths, and fanerals, cattle "marching home," and is now enjoy ing the hospitality of the parental roof. His case is a strange one, but it is only one of many of the same kind which the history of the war reveals. BLOODY WORK IN MISSISSIPPI.—In Co vington county, Mississippi, a few days since, a party of deserters,headed by James Broom,John Rayburn and Felix Rayburn, went to the residence of Alexander Magrew, and 'concealed themselves in his crib,await ing his return from church, with the inten tion of waylaying and killing him. Mr. Magrew did not return as they expected, and they then set tire to his house and left. Magrew returned home next morning, col lected a few friends, and started in pursuit. He overtook them in the evening, and in attempting to arrest them killed Felix Ray burn and captured John Rayburn. The others made their escape. A few days after ward, having learned that James Broom was one of the incendiaries, Magrew and his friends proceeded to his residence to arrest him. As soon as Broom saw his house was surrounded, he got his gun and shot at the crowd, killing George Watt. Magrew's party fired and killed Broom. SHAD.—Two large white shad were caught in Tar river, at Tarboro', North Carolina, last week. They sold for $2 each in Tarboro'. CITY ORDINANCFAI.
