rzgaMM CITY BIJIALETLII. THE ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCE.— time a institution contains at the present time a collection of birds not surpassed in num ber, beauty or variety, in any part of. Europe. It would require many years and at least one hundred and fifty thousand dol lars to bring together a collection like that contained within the walls of the Academy. Thene are more than two hundred thousand natural objects .to be , seen, collected from all parts of the earth, at a cost of so much labor and money. The library contains thirty thousand volumes; many of them are extremely rare and of great price. It has been carefully estimated that this col lection of natural objects and books cannot be duplicated at a cost of less than a half million of dollars, exclusive of labor and time necessary to achieve it.: MAN MAN SHOT AND BEATEN.—Mr. James McCruden keeps a public house at No. 757 South Eleventh street. On Saturday the house was closed on account of the death of a child of Mr. McCruden, and several men attempted to force their way in', but were resisted by . Mr. McCruden and a friend named James Monroe. The ruffians gained admittance, however, and struck` Mr. Mc- Cruden with a bung driver, wounding him severely. Three pistol shots were also fired and a ball took effect in the arm of Mr. Mc- Crnden, causing a painful though not dan gerous wound. Hugh Barr and James Gil len were arrested on the charge of having been among the rioters. They were both committed for, a further hearing.

AN ImpoRTAET ELECTION.—There is a significance attached to the election in Cam den county, which is now approaching of a most important character. Besides the usual county officers and members of the Legislature, there is a member of. Congress to ;be elected, and a State Senator, in place of the renegade Scovel, whose term has ex pired so disgracefully to himself. In view of these important circumstances, the Union party have already begun to display con siderable interest in casting about for can didates of known integrity and availability for the places designated. This is impera tive because of the scenes which were enacted last winter in the Senate In Scovel's refusal to go into joint meeting to elect a United States Senator; and, it is necessary, therefore, that true and trustworthy mem bers should be returned to the Legislature in order to have such a majority in both branches that one, nor two men will not be able to accomplish what Scovel did last winter. There will, evidently, be two United States Senators to elect next winter, which makes it important for the Unionists to go to work early and . earnestly in the matter. The contest will be a warm and animated one, and every effort should be put forth for securing the success of the entire Union ticket. OPENING AND BMA TYING LETTERS.-Mr. Webber, the Postmaster at MiLlville, who was convicted of opening and reading let ters, has been sentenced to pay a fine of two hundred dollars and costs by the Court. He had formerly occupied a prominent position in the Baptist church. During the day he paid his fine and went on' his way again, having paid dearly for his curiosity in pry ing into the contents of letters passing through his office, and learned a lesson that ought to be of use to him during the rest of his life. CAMP MEETINGS. - Preparations have been made to hold a camp meeting at Penns grove, Salem county, which is to commence on the 30th of July next. Another will be begun at Pittsgrove about the 6th of Au gust. These meetings will be, highly inte resting. Diar.cron ELECTED.--Charles E. Elmer, Esq., of Bridgeton, a day or two since was elected a director of the . West Jersey Rail road, in place of David Potter, recently de ceased. Mr. Elmer is a gentleman of great executive ability. Aoslcuratrit AL.--The agricultural pro fesaion in West Jersey has recently received a great impetus , as new farms are every where being cleared up along the lines of railroads and within easy communication with the markets of Philadelphia. Carron IN MISSISSIPPI AND NORTH CARO LINA.—Gen. Thonias, late Bureau Commis sioner for the State of Mississippi, and now on Gen. Howard's staff, reports that before the war that State used to raise about 1,000,000 bales of cotton, or nearly one quarter the entire yield of the United States. He thinks this year's crop will reach 600,000 bales. He says the best lands along the banks at- - 1 - ississippi River are being cultiVatell*Northern:men with adequate capital, who thus enjoy special facilities for securing labor" and supplies over the old planters who occupy the lands of the inte rior. The flooding of the river banks, he thinks, will not injure the cotton crop; but, if it should, replanting may be continued up to the middle of June with assurance of a good crop. Col. Byron Latlin, of New York, who has a cotton plantation in North Carolina, gives a very flattering account of the prospective yield in that State.—Tri bune's Wash. Con MILITARY HISTORY OF lOWA.—The Mili tary History of the State of lowa is in pre paration by A. P. Wood, Dubuque. It will give a full account of the services of each regiment and battery from muster-in till muster-out, together with its complete ros ter, and the names of lowa , men who en listed in the regular army in the regiments of other States. The executive administra tion of the State, and the sanitary and other benevolent enterprises, so nobly sustained by the people at home for the good of the soldier and his famtly, will receive a due share of notice. Facts,upon all these subjects are still wanted.

It.will be remembered that they played a very successful engagement when they were , here before, and made themselves extremely , poPular, and their return will be welcomed by their many, admirers._Both sisters are, very talented, enacting . teir various char-' acters with animation, intelligence and pi quancy. They will appear 'in two pieces each evening, and a change of bill will be given nightly. To-night "Mother's Dying Child" and "A Day • Too Late" will be given, in which the sisters play a, beviiider ing number of characters. We are certain that they will prove attractive especially during the heated term approadiing, when laughter and comedy are more seasonable than tears and tragedy. We trust to see the Chestnut crowded nightly. THE Auou.—This evening Mrs. John Drew will appear.as Kate Harley in Cra ven's comedy of "The Needful." It will be a rich treat to witness the performance of such an admirable artist after the experi ence of the past week. On Wednesday evening "Lost in London" will be pre sented; on Thursday, "London Assurance;" on Friday, "Nine Points of the Law," and .other attractions, for the benefit of Mrs. Drew, and on Saturday evening "Vieto rine" and "Nick of the Woods." In all these pieces Mrs. Drew will sustain the leading characters, and that fact should fill .the house with admirers of truly fine acting. THE WALNUT.--zaz.Edwin Booth repeats "Hamlet" to-night. This performance is sure to attract a full house. On Tuesday evening "Shylock" sad "Tathing of the Shrew" will, be presented; on Wednesday "Richelieu," on Thursday "Hamlet" will be repeated, and on Friday Mr. Booth will appear for the first time in this city as the Stranger. "The Fool's Revenge" will shortly be produced at this house, with Mr. Booth in the principal character. This is truly a_wonderful assumption, and the part has been created by Mr. Booth. TIER CAROLINA TWINS are still at Assem bly Building, &argon Bisrz gives his entertainments nightly at Assembly Building. He also ex hibits on Wednesday and Saturday after noons. A FRENCHMAN'S OPINION OF ENGLLUI Glam.—This is the cry of rapture which a distinguished French writer, M. Tattle, raises atter contemplation of the young ladies of England "Nothing more simple than the young girls; among lovely things there are few so lovely in the world; well shaped, strong, sure of themselves, so thoroughty sound and open, so exempt from coquetry. Impossible unless one has seen it to imagine this freshness, this innocence. Many of them are flowers—flowers just bursting into bloom; only the morning rose with its pure and delightful tints, with its petals studded with dewdrops, can give an idea ofit; far in advance this of the beauty of the South, with its distinct, finished, fixed outlines constituting a definite design; here all reminds us of the fragility, de licacy, and continal flow of life ; eyes full of candor, blue as violets, looking with out consciousness of what they are looking at; at the slightest emotion the blood dif fusing itself over the cheeks, the neck, even down to the shoulders, in purple-tinted waves; you see emotions flitting on these transparent flushes like the varying tints that play upon their meadows; and this vir gin purity is so genuine thatyon feel an im pulse to lower your eyes in respect. And yet, all natural and artless as they are, they are not languid and listless; they enjoy and can bear active service like their brothers; with their hair floating in the wind, they are to be seen, when only six years old,gal loping on horseback,and takinglong walks. In this country a life of action fortifies the phlegmatic temperament, and the heart be comes more simple while the body is be coming more sound." ..... .I.l.V. V ' ri-L -L'S.. .
