Feb.. 24, lase„ fe2.64mrpg F - DEATE OF PROFESSOR BECK. —Charles Illeck, Ph. D., formerly professor of the landuage and literature in Harvard -College, died on Monday at his residence in •Canlbridge, of apoplexy. He was born in .Germany, and came to this country about thirty years ago. As a, classical scholar he held a place among the very 04%, and as professor at Harvard was distinguished for ,Xis efficiency as an instructor. Probably no man did more than he to advance the reputation 'of the College for exact and 'thorough scholarship, and his services will long be gratefully remembered. At the •time of ; his death he was 70 years of age. ACCORDING to a London letter, John Stuart Mill has given the House of Com mons a lesson on manners. He not only •sits without his hat, but even sets the example of leaving it at , the door= a proceeding which is singular;. ; , unpitrlia .znentary and unprecedented. Mr. Wolthohn's Beethoven Matinee. Mr. Wolfsohn gave his Seventh Beethoven Matint3 yesterday. Mr. Habelmann was unable to appear on account of severe ill ness, but is promised to be present at the next matinee on April 3d, and will sing the "Adelaide" and other tssorceaux. The group of sonatas presented yesterday by Mr. Wolfsohn is not, perhaps, •as inte resting a selection of that portion of the composer's works as were those upon the last programme, which included the "Pa thelique,"and the sonatain A flat op. 110. the the latter a majestic work, • undoubtedly greater in! ,00nception and design than the ".Pathetiql,e," and of which there are nu merous passages which the piano is inad equate to present . justly. Mr. Wolfsohn's last programme idso included the sonata in E flat, op. 7, scarcely known here, yet a work thickly crowded with passages of marvellous beauty, and which occasioned a regret that such an inspiration should have remained so long unknown, or it may be, foigotten. The Sonata in F sharp major, op. 78, per formed by Mr. Wolfsohn, yesterday, is not. to our mind, a work that can add much to the fame of its composer; and were there not circumstantial evidence of its being Beethoven's, we should feel justified in hesitating to place it among his Sonatas. It is, by no means, a grateful task to per form such music, but Mr. Wolfsohn made the Sonata as interesting as may be,'.and,his manipulation of the very di ffi cult Allegro assai did not elicit the applause that it de served. • The Sonata op. 21, No. 2, in C sharp minor, known as the "Moonlight So nata," is tolerably familior to the musical public, although we fancy that to many who knew it only through the inartistic performances of boarding-school misses, many beauties, hitherto concealed, were re vealed by Mr. Wolfaohn's careful and com plete rendering of this divine composition. The other item of the programme, the So nata in E major, op. 109, interesting as being dedicated to Bettina Von Arnim, is in the master's latest style, having been com posed in 1824. The most interesting move ments are the Presfissinfo and the Andante motto, the theme, with its six magnificent variations, at the end of which the ear is delighted with the recurrence of the theme. The subject of these variations is exquisitely beautiful, and was reproduced by the pianist with a rare attention to the details of ex pression that added greatly to its effect. We are rejoiced to find these delightful entertainments continue to be so extensively patronised. Mr. Wolfsohn's undertaking is undoubtedly a success, and of its influ ence in the interest of art, much might be said encouragingly. One of the most intel ligent and judicious of living Enropeans, a musician of no mean ability, has said of these sonatas: "It is in them that it is.neces •-ary perhaps to seek for the final utterances of. the master, The time is not far distant when these works, which contain what there is of the most elevating and exalted in art, shall be appreciated, if not by the masses, at least by the public d'elite. It would be an experience to attempt; if success does not follow, the effort may be renewed at a later day; these great sonatas of Beethoven shall serve as a metrical scale to measure the development of our musical intelligence." The Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steamship Company. We, the undersigned, Directors of the Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steamship Company desire to make the following public statement and appeal: Six hundred and thirty thousand dollars ($630,000) have been subscribed to the stock of the Company—the condition of the sub scription being that four lines of steamers shall be run from this port, vie.: to Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans. It is of the utmost importance that all these lines should be established in a man ner to render them profitable and perma nent; for upon their self-support and con tinuance largely depends the whole future commerce of Philadelphia with that great region of our country south of the Capes of the Delaware. To secure these objects we believe that the Company should own not less than eight propellers, or enough to make weekly trips to and from the first three named ports, and semi-monthly, or if pos-ible weekly trips to and from New Orleans. We believe that less frequent trips would neither fully accommodate the existing trade with these ports,nor effect the - increase in it which is expected to result from these lines. The sum already subscribed is insuffi cient to procure and equip substantial' steamers properly adapted in size and con struction to the ports to which they will severally inn, and not less than one million of dollars will be necessary to establish them in an efficient, economical and per manent manner. Impressed, therefore, more and more with the magnitude of the enterprise with which we have been entrusted, and the exceeding importance of its thorough consummation, we appeal earnestly to the citizens and cor porate bodies of Plffiadelphia to promptly fill up the subscription to one million of dot , lars. In concluding this appeal we desire to state that the funds in our control shall be expended In establishing these lines as speedily as a regard to the present unfa vorable aspect of commercial affairs' and the expected decline in labor and materials show to be judicious and economical: lltiok ing rather to the permanent good the com pany will derive from investments in steamers, than to the business they might do in the next few weeks. Lower prices, we believe, will shortly prevail both in the purchase and building of steamers, and while we will ourselves endeavor to make the most judicious ex penditures, we again urge our fellow citi zens to subscribe liberally and quickly, and place at the disposal of the Company, the Three. Hundred and Seventy Thousand Dol lars yet needed to ensure the completion of all the lines at as early a date as possible in the coming season. Books of subscription are open at the Rooms of the Board of Trade, and at the Office of Peter Wright & Sons, No. 115 Wal nut street. HENRYERICI COLLINS. Er. WINSOR, JAitts&i A..

Earle , s Collection at the Acad• An attractive picture gallery is now formed in the two eastern balls of the Acad emy of Fine Arts, by the pictures collected for Earle dr, Sons' fifth great sale. These are fresh and recent works,lately arrived in fulfillment of orders distributed last summer by Mr. J. S. Earle, in some of the favorite European studios. The catalogue numbers a hundred and fifty-seven commissioned works of art, of a really high average qual ity. A few are American, a few French, and some English, but the large majority show the pleasant, picturesque,balladchoico of subject we recognize as German. and rather vaguely designate by the term Diis seldorf School. C. Hoguet, of Berlin, contributes a num ber of paintings and water-color drawings, the largest (56 inches across) beings view of the light-house at Brest. The front part of the picture is well painted, with a quiet, rolling sea, with small vessels picturesquely rigged. A happier effort still, in our opin ion, is the small view (37) of the craggy shores of Heligoland. The air seems filled with the best and rarest favors of the short Northern summer, and a fine warm sky, with large clouds, fills the water with broad reflections. No. 38, "Cliffs Near Havre," is the pendant to this, of similar excellence. The same artist's "Souvenir of Normandy" (103), a barren coast, with sand hills and windmills, exhibits again the strange sense of charm M. Hoguet has in barren land scape—a charm he is almost infallible in communicating to the spectator. The same may be remarked of his (85) "Rocks off Dieppe," and several of the water colors, though less conspicuous, will be found to be quite penetrated with Hognet's exqui site contentment with any condition of sunny air, and broad, bald landscape forms. The opulence of a more Southern region is deliciously rendered in Schlicht's "Bor ders of Como" (54)—in our opinion, one of the first landscapes on exhibition. Here is seen through the graceful' spaces of tree trunks and lacing boughs, drooping quite across the picture, the breadth of Como, boldly painted in that hot Italian blue that poets sing. This was left, by a bold thought, to form the sale and sufficient heaven for the composition; the mere actual sky not falling in the limits of the view. This gives the scheme a delightful air of originality, while the individual details are executed in easy and racy drawing and -very choice color. We spent a long time, m the greatest de light, before the magnificent "Monte Morro" of Mons. Kuwassey, a Paris painter. It is numbered 128 on the catalogue, and is of ample size, being more than five feet in height. Into this fine picture every secret of graceful, noble composition, honest color and gratifying light-and-shade seems to have entered, while the mere manipulation seems to speak of a giant happily practising some of the lost arts. The landscape springs hem a foreground covered with rich and transparent shadows, some trees, conspicu-, ously planted near the middle, being par ticularly sombre with sad, funereal honors; teyond, the ground rises tumultuously in a theme of accumulated rocks and preci pices, all biding, escaping, or half-turning from the touches of thesun; while above one tall broad crag catches him fall on the breast in all his richness and color, striking the eye as a prolonged trumpet note in an overture strikes the ear. Still brighter and higher, but tempered by many a mile of scut blue weather, the snow of Monte 'Storrs catches upon its pale target the principal high-light, which then dissipates in the sunny clouds that float in the upper middle of the picture. This beautitul Alpine view is clearly painted by a man who has seen a great many Calames, but we should think Calame himself would have stood father to it without a blush. Messrs. Earle obtained it at the price of $1,600 in gold. Space does not permit us to go on so much in detail, and our estimates of pictures must not be conjectured from the number of words we afford them. There is another Alpine scene of great merit, the High Go . • i Peak, Tyrol, by Mtllner. (137), Here w: have a sturdy battle for, and almost a cap ture of; that evanescent, ineffable, and au pronely beautiful rose light that trans figures the Alps for a few moments just alter a fine sunset. Nor can we leave these mountain regions without alluding_ to the very conscientious and interesting re presentation of the Mer de Glace, Cha mouni, by Lindler, of Diisseldorf. (135.) In another line, we would designate as our own especial favorite of the whole col lection, (102) "Little Red Riding Hood," by E. Bosch.- The child is accosting the wolf with a beautiful, enchanted security, as she passes down the shadowy forest path, laden with her lAisket and her grandmother's outrageous old umbrella. The enemy stops her plausibly, sleek, shining and laughing with his large and milky teeth. Riding Hood is the most graceful figure imaginable, the picture of happiness and good little girl hood, standing m,the level light that just gilds the contour of temple and cheek with a fairy line. Most exquisitely painted fo liage is waving about her. The picture will be an inexhaustible fountain of pleasure to whoever becomes its happy possessor. "The Fftture Daughter-in-Law," (70) by Lasch, represents a charming girl stepping down from an outer door into a sort of base ment keeping-room, where her intended groom awaits her, with his father and friends. The two chief male personages, in broad hats, that must have come from the very last depths of the Black Forest, are fine in expression, and vigorously relieved upon an illuminated spot on the wall. The costumes are delightful, and the bridegroom wears a standing collar tormentingly edged with lace. The picture contains a strikingly graceful attitude, of a boy leaning against a sack of grain. This excellent work was bought for $1,600. Meyer von Bremen has a smooth and agreeable figure of a little girl returning from market, and deeply engaged in balanc ing her books as she walks—an operation performed in the primitive style of reckon ing on the fingers. The figure is relieved against a bright sky, almost as a silhouette (No. 72). The following are each excellent in their way: (43) Children "Playing in the Sun," by Sonderman. The scene is in an open door-way, and the light glances from be hind upon some childish figures amusing themselves with the ever new combinations of kittens and balls of yarn, while the old eat looks upon all the little ones together with dowager indulgence. (51), "The Trusty Sentinel," by Baumgartner. The trusty sentinel is asleep in the shade, in a position selected wit li a strong feeling for security, while his coat and coeked hat rig ted up over the bayonet to resemble; their owner, are doing duty in the sun, a little way off. (60), "Preparing Dinner," by Boker: a petted deg is pulling at a girl's apron as she sits peeling apples, making the il•"21t1 ON \ ". uit spin off from her lap. (61), 4 , 'The un lucky Shot." (62), "The WatchfiffHunter," by Simmler. Highly-finished sporting in cidents, each with a humorous story. A eery, very green young sportsman in the first, is a truly graphic figure. (66), "The Proposal of Marriage," by Prof. Rudolph Jordan, Dusseldorf. The good wifeisinterr ceding with her "old man" in the foreground in behtdf of a youth, wbo stands in the rear, in immense perturbation. The interested maiden sits in a flutter, naturally at the greatest possible distance frqm the young man concerned. This is a !'very artistic picture, a bargain to Messrs. Earle at $1,200. (97). "The 'Unlucky Number," by Lit scbauer, a- wellpainted interior of an ar morer's forge, the proprietor struck with consternation at finding the ominous num ber 13 marked upon a cuirass in which he is about to repair a lethal-looking bullet hole. The jerkin belonging to the same -uit,and similarly numbered,is being stolen away by an uncanny-looking raven. (109) Helping Little Sister," _b* Werner, a scene e in the woods, with a bild drinking from ber brother's hat. (111) The old "Young *Couple" making love "Behind the Mill," Leach, of Dusseldorf. (117) "The Puzzled Policeman," by BOker; the puzzle appears to exist in the passport of a little Savoyard, which is being slowly spelled out by an in competent old functionary, to the distress of the young minstrel, the vague terror of his monkey, and the delight of a group of small tow-headed spectators. (120) "Artist's Stu dio," by Litschaner. The artist's figure, asleep before his fire, is relieved against a great red curtain which defines the tone of the picture. His dog is stealing the ham from his luxurious dinner-table. (136) "Weighing in the Mill," by Nordenberg, a lively group of Norwegian peasants, the principal incident being the disastrous de scent upon the floor of a plump damsel who Las stepped upon the scales against a lighter and graceful girl,who rides high in triumph as her opponent scrambles out of the situa tion. A large Carl Hubner (129) represents a volunteer bidding adieu to his parents and a lovely girl as he goes to join the Union forces. liiibner has always Succeeded ad mirably in addressing the American loyal Sentiment, his Germanesque manner rather giving piquancy to his beautiful interiors, decorated with the American colors. The picture (which cost $2,500), from its ample size, attractive effect, and especially from the signature in the corner, appeals so , trongly to every visitor that we feel it would be impertinent to • describe it at length; it is lEiiibner, playing for us a na tional air. Among the Philadelphia contributors we desire to include Paul Weber, who has left us, but sends us beautiful keepsakes ever and anon; and Faulkner, of Dublin, our last acquisition, whose "Dargle," in the Artists' Fund Exhibition,was recognized as. the highest light we have lately received from the English landscape schooL He contributes an Irish Harvest Scene (55), just painted here under unpropitious circum stances, brit decidedly meritorious. Paul Weber is represented by several works, in dicating a quieter and severer taste than his old oily sunsets, which were yet so irresis tible. E. D. Lewis has a number of landscapes, t e largest of which is a W hite2ilountain ,view ery brilliant and captivating (No. 58). The Amonoosack drops a tiny cascade, like a courtesy, in the middle, and then flows out through a lovely valley, in the early sum mer morning. (Great serpents of dissolving cloud are winding up the mountains, and a beautiful woodland vista to the left opens through the lushest and freshest verdure. Xanthus Smith sends two fair companions, "Spring" (83) and "Harvest" (84); and Miss Mary Smith comes, welcome as ever, with her pretty "At Breakfast" The sale of these fine works will com mence on Tuesday next. Facts and Fancies. A Bangor fire company have voted to give their trowsers to the freedmen. The Freedmen's Bureau has offered to supply the company with drawers. There exists, in Paris, an old fashion, at fancy balls, of testing the shape of the leg, and showing that the handsomest calf that struts along is only an imitation, which is to thrust a little flag into it with a very sharp point; of course the seat of sensation is not touched. Mr. Thomas Buchanan Read is engaged on an ideal picture of "Love's Young Dream," representing a beautiful maiden blowing soap-bubbles, in one of which she perceives the form of Cupid. It is nothing new for Cupid to come in the form of soft soap. John L, Flagg, just chosen Ma j or of Troy, is the youngest Mayor in the 10'3:Wed States. Mayor Flagg graduated at Har vard College, in the class of 1857. The Mayor of Troy is no relation to the celebrated Wooden Horse of the same place. As an illustration of the "ups and downs" of life, the St. Louis News mentions a former New Orleans district judge who is now a paper-carrier in that city. The question is, which was the "up" and which the "down." An English court has decided that the lease of a house is not vitiated by the habi tation being infected with vermin. The judge rested his opinion upon the necessity of having ten-ants in every house and said that if one insect was admitted to be desira ble, he could not exclude others. • Why is Brigham Young like Boston ?

LEAD EN MiSEDEII COUNTY, PA.—The Mer cer -Dispatch says that several gentlemen of Greenville, associated with some from Su- . gar Grove, had leased Lewis Lindsey's farm, and several others adjoining it, for coal purposes. In process of investigation they discovered a vein of cannel coal three feet in thickness, and were endeavoring to discover, what men eminently qualified to judge allege exists, a vein of bituminous coal. ,Instead of the desired vein of coal they found that which will undoubtedly prove of much greater value. At a depth of about ten feet from the surface they found several remarkably fine crystals 'of lead, similar in appearance and equal in quality to that found in Galena, Illinois. They took out at that point about twenty pounds—one piece weighing one pound eleven ounces. Arrangements are making to develop this show of lead more fully. THE RAID ON THE SAFE OF THE PITTSBURGH, FORT WAYNE AND CHICAGO RAIL- , ROAD COMPANY. Arrest nf the Operator---His Cafes sion and Restitution of a Per . tion of the Money--Tim Modus Operandi of the Thief. [From the Pittabirgh Dispatch, oryestaltikal, On the fifteenth of last September an ex tensive and apparently ingeniotwo robbery was committed in this city at the office of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and - Chicago Railroad Comp any . On that day the pay master's safe was opened by some person at the time unknown, and money and drafts were abstracted to the total amount of thirty thousand dollars. The theft was accomr plished so adroitly that no definite suspi cion could be attached to any one, and the chances of detecting the criminal seemed to be - very slight indeed. As a measure of safety one or two of the persons employed by the Company were discharged, though circumstances now indicate that in their case the innocent suffered for the guilty. The affair occurred in this way: Arrange ments had been nearly completed by the paymaSter of the company and his assist ants for disbursing the amount required to meet the current account of wages. They bad counted the money, and placed the sum due to each individual in separate envelopes . These envelopes were then put in a tin box, about twelve inches long and six in width, and the box was locked up in the safe. No more thorough precautions could have been taken to insure security. The paymaster and his assistant went, about half-past five, to their customary evening meal, and the office was closed by the janitor. They re turned in less than an hour, and, on going to get out the tin box, for the purpose of completing the details of the pay system, found that, in their absence, the safe had been opened and the box with all its con tents abstracted. The treasurer of the company was im mediately notified of what had happened, and a searching investigation was insti tuted, but not the slightest clue to the per petrator of the robbery could bediscovered. LI Consultation was had with iessrs. Hamp ton and Moreland, the so "citors for the company, and they undert k the task of probing the case thorough' . They pro cured the services of Pink ton's private detective police, and the abler members of that force were detailed for working up the case. They got the idea in their heads, after a while, that a young an named Wm. Maguire, a messenger at chei to the Office of the company, was mo or less im plicated, and to him and his ovemerits their special attention was thenceforward turned. Him they watched and bung around, and followed and analyzed getter a4y. in a manner that must have been very unpleasant to his feelings had he known to what an extent he was the object of their regard and scrutiny. Maguire resigned his situation in the employ of the Company a few weeks after this occurred, and has since been traveling around, spending money pretty freely. He has spent his time sometimes here, then in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, back again to Pittsburgh, but never staying long in one place. Only last Sunday fortnight he went to Harrisburg to be present during the political excitement attending the nomina tion for Governor, and respectable men ac cepted his company, who never entertained ihe faintest idea of his guilt, and who little imagined that he never stirred without be ing tallow ed—as if they were his shadow— by the officers of the law. Maguire went . „--- about, enjoying himself, living fast and freely, and earning, on the strength of his liberal expenditures, a good deal of ephe in eral popularity. Meanwhile the sleuth-hounds of justice were ever on his trail, dogging his footsteps and taking note of every action. Whileone or more of them stuck to him with remorse less pertinacity, others were seeking for any point of evidence here that could fasten the crime upon him. About a week ago, one of the officers came across a man, who, they ascertained, had made a safe "bit" or key upon instructions from Maguire. ThiS man was arrested, all the particulars that he could give were carefully noted, and,simul taneously, orders were telegraphed to phl ledelphia—whither Maguire and the detec tive specially attached to his person had gone—for his immediate capture. He was taken into custody last Wednesday night and on Sunday was brought on here. Yes terday he was taken before Alderman But ler and fully committed in default of ten thousand dollars bail. . Maguire was considerably demoralized when he found himself detected and in custody. Upon very . small solicitation he volunteered a confession ? which was taken down in writing from his deliberate dicta tion. He stated that he had planned and executed the robbery without any aid from or consultation with accomplices. He had taken advantage of the facilities which his position in the office of the company had afforded him, and had perseveringly worked until he had obtained a model of the key with which the safe was opened and locked. From this model he bad a duplicate made, and then he had only to watch his opportu pity, until a sufficient sum of money was deposited to n:iake it worth his while to pat his project into effect. When he stole the box he conveyed it to ttie house of his mother, on the corner of Wylie street and Unioa alley, in the Sixth Ward, and buried it thete), about two feet under ground, in the cellar, first taking out some ten thousand dollars, and leaving in it the balance of the cash and the drafts. So far, the particulars of his confession have been found to be correct. ,The box was found where he said it was hidden, and the money and documents he had left in it were safely recovered. He also made resti tution of an expensive gold watch and chain, a diamond pin, and miscellaneous articles of jewelry, valued in all at over fifteen hun dred dollars. He admitted that he had squandered nearly seven thousand dollars of his ill-gotten booty. Of the rest of it— some three or four thousand dollars—he has not yet given any account. Maguire is a very young man, not more than twenty two or twenty-three years of age,and among his , associates bad the reputation of being more than ordinarily smart and self-reliant.

THE FENIA.NS AND THE CA NADIAN SCARE. This Situation on the Frontier and in Continued Preparations to Meet the:. Fenian Foe, &c. Mora to-day's N. Y. HeraIELT The excitement and military situation along -the Canadiau border are well de scribed in Toronto and Ogdensburg de spatches. The entire front is picketed by provincial volunteers, while heavy detach ments are held in reserve at all the chief towns and principal strategic points, and the people are quite as confident that their territory is to be inyaded by the Fenians as they would be if the invading army were already fronting them. Much fear is also entertained regarding Fenian sympathizers in their midst. No relaxation has taken place in the defensive operations, the organizing, drilling and despatching to the front of troops still going on energetically. • though there is yet no sign that any attack is to be made. The citizens and soldiery at Prescott, a town on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence, opposite Ogdensburg, were thrown into a prune on last Saturday night - by musketry firing being heard and rockets seen on the American shore. Immediately the littletown was in a great state of excite ment, troops were in,, motion, and the guns of Fort Wellington opened on nothing. It is vet ups/Renamed whether the rockets • and the musketry firing were the work of • Fenians or jokers. Ogdensburg is regarded as a prospective Fenian rendezvous, on account of the natural - and artificial facilities-offered by the coun try opposite for penetrating Canada and cutting it in two. The commander of Fort - ". Wellington has therefore trained his guns ••• on the American shore, to repel the first at tempt at an armed crossing, and an Ameri can revenue cutter lies at one of the Ogdens burg docks, ready to respond if hostile shots " should be sent over to our territory by the British. The French Canadians, many of whom sympathize with the anticipated Fe nian invasion, are said to be coming over to this country to settle in large numbers. Very little apprehension is said to be en tertained in official circles in Washington. that the Fenians will attempt the invasion of Canada. No act of belligerency on the part of the Brotherhood which would justify interference by our Government has yet come to its knowledge. The Central Council of the Fenisns re mained in secretsession, at the Union square headquarters, yesterday; but nothing could be learned of their proceedings. Prepare- • lions on an extensive scale were made last evening by the Fenian Sisterhood, at a meeting in their rooms in the Moffat Man sion, for the relief of the families of the Irish State prisoners. The Louisiana State Convention of. Fe mans has resolved to collect funds and kelt , - - them in the State until the Sweeny an O'Mabony wings shall submit an exhibit of their plans, on receipt of which the conven tion is to reassemble and tender aid to the . most feasible project.

Henry Macdermott, Esq.,Goderich, C.W. Termination of the Chess Hatch—Mae. kenzie the Winner. [From the N. Y. Tribune.] The match between Messrs. Reichhelm and Mackenzie was brought to a termina tion yesterday, by the resignation of the former player. He attributes his incapa city to bring the contest to a successful con clusion, to an attack of illness, which, since Friday, has seriously affected his mental powers, and destroyed that fine balance of mind which is so necessary to a match of this important and taxing 'Lind. The score remained as stated in yesterday's Tribune, no additional games having been contested,' (From the N. Y. Times.] The exciting contest between Mr. Reich helm, the Philadelphia Chess champion and Captain Mackenzie, winner in the 'late Tournament of New York amateurs, has been brought to a sudden termination by the resignation of the former player. Ac cording to the terms of thS match the win ning of seven games became necessary to constitute a victory on either side; and so far as the play progressed, six games only bad been played, of which number Captain Mackenzie had won five, the one remaining having been drawn. A defeat so signal is certainly • somewhat unusual among players deemed at all well matched; bat the effects of that to which Mr. Reichhebn has now so courteously succumbed, will be greatly di minished from the consideration of the far greater opportunities tfor good practice which his able antagonist has enjoyed than could have flen to his lot of late years in Philadei • .
