There is ,no drift in it, from the fact that it is so -crooked that timber can't find its way far -enough down to lodge two sticks together; hut few snakes,.because it is not straight enough to swim in, and the fish are all in the whirlpools in the bends, because they can't find their way out. Birds frequently attempt to fly across the river, and light on - the same side they start from, being de ceived by the different crooks ! Indeed, you tthay be deceived when you think you are -SUM it; and some of the b'hoys say it is -so twisting there is but one side to it. MORAL DARKNESS.-At the anniversary 'of the Home Missionary Society in London, Mx. Scott, chamberlain of London, said that .he had formerly spent twenty years of his life in London, and since twenty years in - the country, and he must say there was more darkness, ignorance degradation, - heathenism, in the rural districts, so far as he had seen, than existed in London and the larger towns, there being many agencies at work in the latter which were not to be found in the villages. A STRANGE .Furtmten.—Thos. B. Leigh ton, a man of wealth, who died at the Isle of Shoals, near Portsmouth, N. H., a few -days ago, desired to have no religious rites jerformed at his funeral, and was buried, according to his request, on Appledore Island, between two granite rocks, on one .of which he wanted his initials cut. He was formerly a prominent Democratic poli itician in New Hampshire, but had lived for many years on a small island, in the Shoals group, refusing even to visit the main land, lest the boat might sink in the passage. STRANGE Summx.—.Tohn P. Gray, a lad about twelve years of age residing; /th his parents, in Providence, R. 1., was so much excited by the passing of themenagerie and circus a day or two since, that he went up into the attic and hanged' himself. He was dead when discovered. •••• ` -',. - - - . ,‘ a , , , ' t i.t.4 - , . i ll :11 , ft .

The English edition of the Bible illustrated by Gustave Dore is published by Messrs. Cassel, Petter Jr Galpin, of London, in monthly parts. It is furnished to Philadel phia subscribers by Mr. C. J. Price, No. 21 South Sixth street. There are to be fifty five numbers, sold separately at one dollar each, or to subscribers at ten dollars a year, giving twelve numbers. The first three numbers are received, and the illustrations are marked with all the great artist's finest characteristics; imagination, power, origi nality and a knowledge of effect in drawing that has rarely been equaled. Dord is for tunate in his engravers, several of those in the numbers now out, by Pisa, Laplante and others, being remarkable for wood-cuts. Thcse wishing to secure this grand edition of the Bible should subscribe promptly at Mr. Price's, for the early impressions from the plates will of course be the best. The text is ofcourse the received Oxford edition of the Bible, and the letter press is very handsome. JOHN T. LEWIS, Secretary. ray2B.6t Facts and Fancies. A one-armed beggar, who has been work ing on the sympathies of the Worcester public for several days, has just been dis covered to have an arm, hidden close to his body, under his clothing. He was fined for carrying concealed arms. The poii-corn man, says the. Springfield Republican, is a good Methodist, as every one knows; but he got business sadly min gled with things spiritual at a late prayer meeting, where, when he attempted to join in the hearty responses of "Amen," he cried out instead, 'Pop-corn !" His sense of dig nity led him to apologize in open meeting for his lapses linguce. Saulsbury took Mrs. Jeff. to church yes terday, in Washington. That is a positive fact. The fancy is easily accounted for. They have been trying a new flying ma chine in New York. It was a perfect success except in one particular. It wouldn't go anywhere that the inventor wanted it to. The story that mad dogs are on Vie in crease grew out of the fact that 'Oen, they are chased they are apt to double on you. During a storm on'the Bth ult., lightning struck a train which was traveling on the Orsay railway in France, and traversing one of the carriages, shivered into fragments one of the doors and, broke the glass of the other, passing out without further damage, which shows the •advantage • of having a good conductor to a train. , At the South the chivalry , tilt with muffin rings.

NEW PITELICATION'S: In addition to the June magazines here tofore mentioned, we have received "Hours At Home," "The Galaxy," and "The Catho lic World:" "Hours at Home," is a capital number, containing, a great variety of in teresting matter. "The Patriotic Record of Yale College," and the sketches of John Jay and General Grant, are particularly good. The agent for "Hours at Home" is Mr. T. B. Pugh. "The Catholic World" is a monthly devoted to general literature and science, and is now in its third volume. Most of its matter is original, interspersed with good selections from various sources. The agent in Philadelphia is Mr. J. R. Downing, 139 South Eighth street. "The Galaxy" continues "The Claverings" and "Archie Lovell," and Profesaor Blot's essay on the Art.of Dining. There are several' other excellent articles in this number of this capital magazine. " A Thousand a Year" is a very' pretty story, published in beautiful style by Lee & Shepard, Boston. It t giVes the experiences of a New England clergyman and his family in their efforts to " make both ends meet," in the midst of a fashionable and exacting congregation, on "a thousand a year." The story is cleverly told, although the authoress, Mrs. E. M. Bruce, is evidently unconscious that she is making her hero and heroine ex hibit a great deal too much of moral weak ness, in their easy compliance with the re quirements of their inconsiderate people. The book contains many wholesome hints both for pastor and flock, in more parts Of the world than one. For Sale by G. W. Pitcher. The sixth volume of Little, Brown d Co.'s elegant revised edition of "The Works of Edmund Burke" has been received from the Philadelphia agent, Jas. K. Simon, 33 South Sixth street. It includes some of the most important and famous of the political letters on affairs in France, America, Ire land and England. Nothing can surpass the elegance and correctness of the typogra phy of this edition, and the paper and bind ing are in keeping. Murray's "History of Usury," recently published by J. B. Lippincott S. Co., is an interesting retsunie of the laws and practices of 'usury both in ancient and modern times, The object of the author is to show the falla cy of all usury laws, and to urge the " free trade " principle in lending and borrowing money. The work displays much research, and is a valuable treatise on this important subject. The reprints of the English reviews, by Leonard Scott do Co., deserve the most libe ral support. We have received through W. B. Zeiber the Westminster and the London Quarterly for April. Both are excellent,and the Westminster is especially interesting. "The Gospel of Health." This is the title of a new monthly, edited by Dr. R. T. Trail, of New York, and for sale in this city by Professor J. L. Capen, No. 25 South Tenth street. It is full of valuable Hygienic in formation for home use. Gustave Dore's Bible. CONFEDERATE PRIVATE.ERS.—The ntun ber of Confederate privateers daring the late war was twenty-five.

PIrILADELPHIA, MONDAY, 111AY 28, 1866.---TRIPLE s*AcT. THE BOMBARDMENT OF VAL PAEABO. THE CONDUCT OF COMMODORE RODGERS. .Proeeedings in the British Par- liament. FurUler Foreign New. = In the House of Lords, Lord Houghton ( referring to the intelligence recently ceived of the' bombardment of Valparaig ) by the Spanish fleet, asked what instinct ' tions had been given to Admiral Dennis — al whoae conduct in not actively intertaninit to prevent the attack had been severatelkh dunned by the British reaidents whngte pL7I.- perty had been destroyed. The Duke of Somerset, in replVref gktbe• instructions given to Commodore ,- lEtirvey, and to Admiral Denman, his atfliksOY- - #i command of the Pacific sqUitlednositieli were in effect to use all frienillyiWoAktdc mitigatethehorrorsofwar,but*it #4o:WvAii i to depart from the observance ur theatrics-l est neutrality.

The Duke of =Somerset replied -that An ironclad would Shave been of no use to Admiral Denman,.who only obeyed hia in structions by remaining neutral. In the' Honike of Commons, Sir L. Palk took occasion 'of, the - , annual motion to ad journ over the Derby daytoesk for informa tion as to the recent bonibardment of Valpa raiso, and particularly_for an explanation of Admiral Denman's conduct.. Admiral Walcott defended Admiral Den man with great warmth, and Sir J. Hay and Admiral Seymour in the same tone ex pressed their confident belief that he had acted in conformity with his orders. Mr. Liddell condemned in strong lan guage the bombardment of an unarmed city, and asked whether the Chilean Govern ment had requested the withdrawal of our Llharg,e d'Affaires, and, if • so, on what ground. Colonel Edwards read some extracts from resolutions passed by the British merchants at 'Valparaiso, tending to show that it was owing to the assurances of the British Ad miral and the British Minister that the city had been left undefended. Mr. Graves pressed on the House the se rious injury inflicted on British interests by the conduct of our Admiral and Minister, and asked whether instructions would be sent out to prevent the repetition of such a barbarous outrage. Mr. Layard narrated in detail the various steps which had been taken by the British government in concert with France and the United States to restore a good understand ing between Spain and Chile, and avert the bombardment, charging the Spanish gov ernment with something like equivocation and misleading us as to their intentions to bombard Valparaiso, but at the same time asserting that the British merchants had ample notice of it, and might have removed their property in time had they chosen to accept the fair and moderate conditions of the Chilean government. The statement contained in the resolutions of the British merchants, that the American commander had offered, if the British commander would join him, to stop the bombardment was untrue. No such oder was ever made. [Hear, hear.] On the contrary, the Ameri can Minister admitted the right of the Span ish commander to bombard Valparaiso; he himself bad come down from Santiago to prevent the bombardment by remonstrance if possible, but it does not appear that either he or Commander Rodgers had the slightest intention of otherwise interfering for the purpose of stopping it, [Hear, hear.] Nor is there any truth in the statement that Admiral Denman ever advanced the plea that he had not a sufficient force to protect the British interests; for Admiral Denman had stated that had his force been ten times greater than that of the Spanish Admiral, he could not have interfered. Moreover, 'I was informed to-day by the Spanish minister that when the American com mander went on board the Spanish flagship and remonstrated with the Spanish Com mander, he said—l believe more by way of joke than otherwise--" Supposing I were to put my ships between you and the town, what would happen?" The reply was: "You are a sailor and lam a sailor; yon know what, your duty would be under the circumstances, and you know, therefore, how I should fulfill mine. If you put your ships between me and the town, it will be my duty to sink them." Upon this the American commander shook the Spanish commander warmly by the hand, and said: "I perfectly understand you; I should do the same were I. in a similar position. Much as we may condemn the acts of the Spanish commander, we must remember that they were performed in fulfillment of his duty as an officer, and that he was bound to obey the orders of his govern- Ment. The f3panish admiral took the greatest possible care not to injure private property in Valparaiso; the fire was wholly directed against two or three buildings and the railway station. It is true that one of the principal buildings was the Custom House, and that, that contained a - large amount of British property; but the Spanish admiral carefully avoided firing a single shot into the town. except as against public buildings. The inhabitants had ample time to leave the place; there were only two persons acci dentally killed by the bombardment, and they were a woman and child; and, there were some other persons killed by a wall falling on them whilst attempting to put out a fire; but, with these exceptions, no lives were lost. Therefore, the . Spanish commander appears to have carried oat his instruction's with as much 'humanity as possible; but I will not conceal from the house _that the bombardment has made a very painful impression upon the minds of her Majesty's government. [Cheers.] We had hoped that the time had gone by for. such acts of—l may almost OUR WHOLE courvrity. say--barbarity—acts which seenitßp j e pAtpl f gether inconsistent with the p9 , 5,4191L,RAe&r1i pied by a great civilized nation , 01 iv- , sent day, although they mi s gtls.AV.i„ pig permitted itt the past gerte ramnsa,7 serf_ hear.] I deeply sympathize wit/P=olo - merchants, but wuktcgiire_es that they were themselves-Jen yaw , .. ...

A CORPS of workmen are preparing a portion of the Seven Pines battle field with a view to its conversion into a National Cemetery for the reception of the Federal dead who fell on the fields of Seven Pines, Savage Station, Frazers' Farm and Malvern Hill. The cemetery contains two or more acres, but has not yet been enclosed. About eleven hundred bodies have been disin terred, placed in neat coffins and given de cent Christian burial. 'Very few of the bodies disinterred were recognized, and they were buried, the headstones of their graves proclaiming them "unknown." The disinterments and reinterments were being made at the rate of about fifty per day. The Cold Harbor National Cemetery has been completed and dedicated. It contains upward of two thousand dead, eight hun dred of whom are known. ,THE LUMBER TRADE OF THE EAST.—The lumbering business on the St. Croix gives employment to about five hundred teams and two thousand men.

The- marshal's ; flag then signalled the company up the . long - inclined' -plane - toward the rummit of PilottKrieb; A witty Frenchman once said of English men, in their recreations, "that they amused themselves dolefully, according to the cus tom of their country," and there is a not uncommon idea that clergymen do likewise, "according to the custom of their profes sion," but there was certainly nothing very doleful in the quips and laughter during the knee-trying experiment of climbing Pilot Knob. One Reverend gentleman muttered. something about its taking "an iron will to get up an Iron - Mountain." Marshal Richardson stopped, and to encourage those who were getting weak in the knees, waved his flag; another shouted that "nothing but unflagging efforts would ever get one to the top." One gentleman said it was quite a feat; another retorted that he "was told it was 581;" another one added that it gave rise to a good deal of blowing; people's faces got red from the exertion; Miss Budd was was jocosely reminded that she looked more like a blossom," and so at last the whole company got to the summit with breath enough left to sing the old fashioned Nmn, "My country, 'tis of thee," at Dr. elson's suggestion, as they clustered around the pinnacles of rock—or iron, rather—and looked around at the magnifi cent prospect. Rev. Mr. Starr, of this city, in a few brief remarks, welcomed the delegates to Pilot Knob, a point not'. din geography, geology, and the history of the war; and to free Mis souri. Rev. Mr. Hopkins, Moderator, responded briefly, and closed by saying, that though the Church's motion as "Excelsior! Higher! Higher!" he had never expected to see it get quite so high on any one occasion as the present. - Dr. Nelson then addressed the company, saying that he supposed they were some what in the same lix as a surveyor once among the bills of Vermont, who had been commissioned to' define a long disputed boundary line between two land owners, and who, after running a great many zigzags, at last sat down upon a log, com pletely tangled as to his 'whereabouts, until a farmer came along, and he asked him to tell him where he was; this being done after a good deal explanation. "Now sir," said the confused surveyor, "you have told me where I am, please tell me who I am." Dr. Nelson said he would tell them where they were, and he would , leave it to Mr. Knox, of Utica, New York, to tell them who they were. He then proceeded to give some statistics in regard to the va rious mountains of iron, and to point out the most interesting objects in view. "Pilot Knob," on which the company then stood, was five hundred and eighty-one feet above the bloomery at its base, covered an area of three hundred and sixty acres, and was estimated to contain 13,9%,773 tons of pure iron, (the ore yielding, as it was now smelted. about 60 per cent., but really con taining 75 per cent.) It was just eighty-six miles south of St. Louis. "Shepherd Mountain t " one mile and a third to the southward, is six hundred and sixty feet high, covers eight hundred acres and its ore yields 68 83-100 per cent. of iron. "Iron Mountain." distant six miles from Pilot Knob, was 228 feet high, covers,an area of 500 acres, and estimated to contin, of pure iron, 230,187,375 tons. "The Artesian Well," near Iron Moun lain—the Doctor said—had been sunk to only a depth of 152 feet; penetrating first various strata of rock to the depth of 90 feet; then passes through a vein of iron ore five feet thick; next through porphyritic rock seven feet; next through iron ore 50 feet. Dr. Nelson then pointed out a little earth work. fort in the valley below and . gave an interesting sketch of General Ewing's he roic defence of it with his force, about SOO men, against Mr. Sterling Price and his 10,000. After the close of Dr. Nelson's address, there was a resolution to present the thanks of the General Assembly to Mr. S. D. Barlow for his courtesy in inviting them to make the present excursion. The Rev. James McCosh was then called upon for a prayer, and the exercises on the mountain were closed by the whole company singing Old Hundred. By one o'clock the company had all come down from the mountain and were scattered about in grassy, shady places, making a vigorous attack on their lunch baskets, and so, what with strolling about the hills and the battle ground, the time passed until about two o'clock, when the excursion train started on its return to the city. The Assembly will meet again, according to adjournment, this morning, at the First Presbyterian Church, and will probably close its present session on Monday, the 28th. DEATH OF DR. Honorarr.--The English philanthropist, Dr. Hodgkin, well known to many in this country for his interest in our affairs, and especially for his active co operation in all efforts for the welfare of.the African race, died on the sth of April, of dysentery, at Jaffa, on his way to Jerusa lemein company with Sir Moses Monte fore, engaged on , a philanthropic mission. F. L. FETHERSTON. PLllSlister. THREE CENTS. The Bourganani-Eaton case. The recent remarkable elopement of an Italian adventurer, (who seven years ago wedded the widow of Gen. Eaton) with the grand-daughter of his wife, has created a sensation in political and fashionable cir cles, both in this city and in Washington. It has also revived the public interest in the unfortunate wife, who at one time may have been said to have controlled the fate of the country, or at least to have been the chief cause of a change in some of its most important , political relations. She was originally a Mrs. Trowberlake and subse quently married General Eaton, who was BO intimately connected with Generaljack son during his Presidency. The political jcomplications with which General and Mrs. ;Eaton were mingled are well remembered. 1 - Gen. Eaton died, and his widow became I ~" e possessor of his large estate. She also 1 . umed the guardianship, of four or five ' - and children, who were, by intermarriage. ostely connected with the Randolph family o Virginia .' One of these grandchildren o espies a post in the marine service of the nited.States. Another, and the youngest,- -ii aide& in the retail establishment of A. T. s ewer!, in this city. Another has married. colkinel in the army, ;while the fourth is -o e - erthermnfortunate victims of the arts of eltallanßourganani.

A more heartless, dastardly case of com plicated crime has seldom been recorded. Since the departure of the chief actor in this strange tragedy, various new facts have been brought to light. It has been ascer tallied that Bourganani, though according to his statement, "alone in the world," has two brothers residing in this city or vicinity, one of whom is a man of some means. The existence of these relatives has been suc cessfully concealed from his wife and adopted family for a period of seven years, arid has only been discovered by accident. It has also been ascertained that although in his farewell letter to his benefactress and wife, he states that he has made provision for her maintenance, such provision is of the most dubious character, the $2O per week promised being altogether in the power of some mysterious confederate, who can, at any time, refuse to advance the mo ney. The letter also states that $l,OOO due from the sale of a cottage belonging to his wife, will shortly be placed in her hands, but for this statement also there is no evi dence save his own word,under the dream stances no very trustworthy Security. It also seems that the Italian has not only robbed his wife of her all; but has also col lected some $2,000 belonging to the grand daughter, his victim, so that in reality the villain has absolutely deprived the two wo men wholly dependent upon him of every dollar that they possess in the world. The amount of money with which he has de camped will exceed, it is ascertained, $40,000 in gold. In brief, a case exemplifying more love, more scoundrelism, more generosity and more baseness, more blind trust and more utter profligacy, ingratitude and worthless ness has seldom or never been made public. Skillful lawyers have been engaged by the friends of the deserted wife to ascertain if the law can have any holdupon the fugitive, but we fear that he has escaped all chance of justice. In its moral aspect alike, and its social, whether we consider the crimes themselves, or the historical status of some of the par ties, the Bourganani-Eaton case seems des tined to rank among the "causes celebres."— N. Y. Tribune. The Kingdom of Italy. Since the union, in 1860, of the provinces of the new kingdom of Italy, considerable attention has been paid to the collection of government statistics—a department being, attached to the Ministry of Agriculture, In dustry and CoMmerce, aided by Councils, in all the Prefectures of the kingdom. The last census ivas taken on the night of the 31st of December, 1861, when.the population was found to be 21,704,000. At the rate of progress since observed, on the Ist of. Jan uary in this year it is estimated to be about 22,300,000. The population is mostly agri cultural, the largest cities being very infe rior in number of inhabitants to the great cities and commercial towns in England. Florence will, no doubt., rapidly increase,aa the seat of government; but at the date of the census it had only ;14,000 inhabitants; Naples, 417,000; Turin, 180,000; Milan, 219,- 000, and Palermo, 186,000. Great activity prevails in extending the lines of railway to attract the traffic of the East to the Italian coasts of the Adriatic. The completion of the Mount Cenis tunnel and a projected Al pine railway over the St. Gotham', are ex pected by the Italians to give them a large share in the transit of light goods and pas sengers when the Suez Canal is opened. The products of the soil of Italy—oil, wine, rice, cotton, silk—its vast tracts of unex plored mineral grounds, and thousands of square miles of land which only require scientific irrigation to render them the most fertile in Europe—open up a great future for her commercial enterprise, to which, under the new Government, the greatest attention is being given. The most difficult problem, at present, is the financial condition of Italy. Wishing to, and, perhaps, partly under the necessity of maintaining a large army'at heavy cost relative to the present revenue of the country, Italians yet object to the curresponding sacrifices, though at present but lightly taxed as compared with other countries. The public debt is already £176,000,000, and it is advancing at the rate of £8,000,000 to:£10,000,000 a year. The only remedy is a large reduction of the army, or a much heavier taxation. It appears pro bable the Italians will choose the latter, which the increasing wealth of the country and development of its resources will render eaaierr to bear.
