"Pulpit Pungencies" is the name of the smart sayings of an anonymous preacher. It is difficult know whiple to admire most, the airy flippancy of many of these pet pungenciee, which are classified, paged, - numbered, indexed, and marginally dated in the most elaborate manner, or the charm ing complacency with which, their author .-gives them to the , anonymously, but with the words appended to each oriti, -sisal "Morning Sermon, such a date," and "Evening Lecture, such a "date." The volume smacks strongly of Mr. Beecher, who is probably its author. Whether , this -surmise is correct or not, the reverend gen tleman, whoever he be, clearly considers it unnecessary to proclaim, his — name, on account of the impossibility of their being two such Pulpit Pun-gents on this conti nent. In a buSiness point of view, as well -as on the question of modesty, he has made a mistake. If there is one thing in 'this world that men will not take blindfold, it is the utterance of the pulpit, whether it be practical preaching, or pretentious "pun qenclea." The volume is from the press of •Carletcm„ N. Y., and is for sale by Ash _mead cit Evans. "Kate Marstone" is a semi-religious novel junt published by Carleton, New York. It is written by a pupil of St. Atm . 's Hall, Burlington, -and.-the scenes and chmseters are to a considerable ex tent, drawn from th;tt famous school. The "book is simply written, eicept When the ;writer emudonally„dips rather deep into polemics wind introduces the whole &etre -versy between the ,phuphes of .England :and Rome:• It will be read with especial interest by the numerous graduates and _friends of St. Bfary's College.

This enterprising Western house deserve mach credit for the rapidity with which they are taking a prominent place in the ranks of American publishers. "The Broken Pitcher," in pa per. printing, binding and style of illustra "The Dove in the Eagle's Nest" Is the title of Miss Yonge's new story, just published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. The scene is laid in the neighborhood of Ulm, and in, the latterend o/ the fifteenthcentury, while Frederick 111 still reigned, and when „Austria presented the aspect of prosperity and advancing civilization in the free impe rial towns, blended with the'savag,ewildness and lawlessness which marked the inde pendent lives of the free barons, the Frei herren, many of whom still refused t4e idea of allegiance to Kaiser or Emperor Miss Yonge has maintained the unity of her story with rare success, and has given us a picture of the period of which she treats, as true to history as it is to human nature. Her characters and scenes are all most faithfully and delicately drawn and without much effort in the way of plot or mystery, shs has presented us with a book which few will lay down unfinished. It is for sale by Ashmead & Evans. Err he Emerald" is the name of the first of a series of volumes to be called the "Gem Series," published by John L. Shorey, Bos ton. It is a wall-chosen collection of Tales, Poems and Essays, from the fugitive litera ture of the present century, edited by Mr. Epes Sargent. It includes original transla tions of French and German stories which will be quite new to American readers. Amongst other features of "Ihe Emerald" are "Praed's Lyrical Charades," with an swers. The editor gives "Good-night" as the answer to the famous charade beginning "Sir Hilary charged at Agincourt," which is certainly far inferior to the solution, "Rest-rain," first given a by writer in the BULLETIN many years ago. He also gives the 37th Charade as having no answer, al though "Novice" is the palpable solution. The selection of stories is very good and the whole volume will form a very pleasant traveling companion for the summer tour ist. For sale by J. B. Lippincott Lt, Co.

Further colloquy of this sort continued, the Court being unable to elicit any direct evidence to implicate the prisoner, when he was finally committed for two months as a vagrant and removed to be brought upfrom time to time as evidence might offer, amid the Jeers and execrations of the spectators who were present in large numbers.

A renlA4 Ernmination. The Artists and the Pennsylvania Acad . emy of Fine Arts. For the Piffled& Evening Bulletin.] I deem it not inappropriate at this time to give the public an insight into the inner circles and motor power of the artists of this city among themselves, and their relation to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The publiti is being misled .by such arti cles as have made their appearance in the Philadelpbia newspapers from time to time during this last spring's exhibition, with the last ebullition of "An Artist," who really pretends to know something of, what he speaks. - It will be no disadvantage to Art for those interested to learn in what relation the ar tists stand to the Academy of the Fine Arts, their power and the extent of their control in that institution, and the use which they make of their power and privileges. In the By-Laws, regulating the govern ment of the institution, we -rind that from the body of artists of Philadelphia, is chosen a number, not exceeding forty, babe "Mao elates of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts," from among these a number are chosen to be "Pennsylvania Academicians," to which are elected annually two new members. ' "A Council of Academicians," consisting of seven, are chosen every year from this "bcdv" by themselves, three of which serve on the Committee of In struction. the other four on the Committee of Exhibition, in conjunction with corre sponding committees of Directors. By the election of two new memoers annually to he "Body of Academicians" from the as sociates, and the yearly election of the "Council" from the "Body of Academi cians," the committees are constantly being, changed, so that all the artists can serve in their turn. The business of the Commit tee on Instruction in reference to the study from "living models," is to supply the model for the students, the best that can be found, as near perfect in symmetry of pro portion, muscular development and grace ful movements, to put in position saidmodel for the students, to be present during the evening and have a general supervision. This system of auxiliaries was established to give the control of the schools into the bands of the artists, who estimate them selves to be the only persons capable of con ducting all matters relative to art. But how is it attended to? Just like the action of "An Artist," whose expression appeared in the columns of the EVENING Bunt...wrist a few days ago. Someof the committee would probably make their appearance at the "class" for a few minutes once in a whole term, while others have not been seen there by students for •years, and their greatest ambition appears to be to see who can excel in this neglect. An obligation which they are morally bound to shoulder, is passed by unnoticed,. and in Borne instances publicly ridiculed. What interest is it to the Directors of the institu tion to perform that which the artists, in making the demand to have control of the schools, have obligated themselves to do? The directors supply the room, (though not good, yet the best the present building sf forth-J) and whatever kind of models are asked for; in short they bv_rall expenses in cident to a free school. Do the artists tote advantage of this opportunity? No. It is lamentably neglected. There would be no models found if left to the committee to do; said model would geidola 1:11::EAI if stu dents awaited the appearance of the com mitteeof artists. If' ft Wail not for those - fluffy looking yoUng men that flanked the- venerable gentleman in -shirtsleeves," as "An Artist" terms ;hem, all interest in the education of the rising generation of ar tists would have died out in this city, as there are no other schools in Philadelphia. They are in earnest and_appreciate the opportunity as a privilege. They find the models and pose them, attend the class re gularly, without respect to weather or the latest theatrical excitement; they are bent upon their own advancement, and if the opportunities are not comparable with those of European cities, such as do exist are ad vantageously used and appreciated by these few. The opportunities a few years ago were no better than they are now; yet they developed Rothermel, Schussele, Weber, Darley, Stephens, Schtmllze, Mason, Lamb din, Waugh, and a host of others. tae the modus operandi for making artists changed, that all the Art schools should be deserted? I will venture to say that the artists here know more about the requisites of theatri cal artists and the theatrical fraternity, than of their own. Why the schools should be deserted I can find no reasonable cause be yond what always existed, namely, an in different room; this objection was no serious obstacle to artists who used to study; then why should it be now? The "Academicians" meet annually, and select from among their number (by ballot' those they wish to act on the Committees at Instruction and Exhibition. Those selected have invariably accepted the trust, and al most as invariably have neglected their duty, especially the. Committee on Instruction. Now why do • these men accept this trust if they don't mean to per form its obligations ? Why not decline to serve at once and withdraw? They act as if there was no school, no students, nor any necessity-for them. They acceptthe position, stay away, and grumble that there is no in terest manifested by the Directors, and for their part they'll have none either; so the schools are lett todwindle and decay. Whose fault is it? Let reason answer. Are the Directors who have established the schools and extended a general invitation to artists, to supplicate and beseech them to attend to that which ought to so dearly interest them? Must they parade a great show every year to produce an excitement before the artists can'take an interestin then:aura prosperity of even •their own profession? They are foolish who blindly close their eyes to op portunities that are present, but stand aloof awaiting the approach of some future imaginative one. They that neglect the present never see the , beauties of the future; • they gradually drift out of the "tide which if taken at the flood would lead to fortune" and settle in the eddy of self. In the preparation of the annual spring exhibitions the artists have the same control, and, excepting at this last exhibition, have participated ,as little ,In their preparation, as the CoMmittee onlnstruction have in the schools. The great majority of artists as suMe that they alone ought to have complete :control • of itsvarrangementcand this last ' spring : , in deference to this wish, I presume, the Director's withdrew, leaving everything to their arrangement; ,and the result was that there never was more dissatisfaation and animosity manifested by / the artists at any" previous ' exhibition. Yet, be just to the Hanging Committee, the galleries never looked bet ter as a whole, and the general effect was pleasing. But;the great mistake they . made was in looking out for „their own pictures first, and their - friends, next. Now; Fas eunae, that to merit the approbation of the OUR. WHOLE COVNTRY Public, our friends or enemies, whomsoever we pretend to serve, we must sacrifice our selves and our interests for the good of others; and I will further say that the Di rectors committed a great , blunder when they withdrew and left the disposition -of the pictures -entirely in the control of the artists, for it is through them that we expect justice done. They must act as moderators for a clique'of Jealous people. They have no personal feelings 'or ambition to gratify, and are the proper ones to mediate and reg ulate all differences that may arise from professional jealousy. Some artists refused tosend pictures, be cause the Academy was rented to a picture trader to exhibit prior to his sale by auction; others, because in the Academy there is lit tle or no chance for selling; others, to teach the Directors a lesson, as they say. But this is the tha The loaning of the Gallery rub with k i ts established character to facilitate the sale there by auc tion of a picture trader, and the refasal of an application made Id , the Artists' rand Society to sell by auction. in the same place pictures by/Philadelphia artists. Such ir regularities cannot be reconciled, and the artists feel it. To establish exhibitions to improve the public taste in art seems to be a motive entirely obsolete with some artists. Sell, sell, sell, is ever their song, whether it is a merit to have purchased a daubed can vass- whether it is compensation for time well spent, or simply means to visit the next opera—both considerations are equally urgent; they insist upon credit whether it is due or not. Butwhy so dissatisfied with ircm stances? w Have we reaped the fall v alu e of them that we should clamor for a change? Have we abstracted all the good that exists from the Academy's schools, its exhibitions or its art material? Have we really arrived at the station where, in the developing of a new event, or the ushering in of new cir cumstances, we will be able to surmount the car of Progression and be winged to the summit in triumpL ? I don't think so. Nature treats liberal men with liberality from her stores; we bury our usefulness be neath the passions of conceit, self-will and aggrandizement. This is a truth which, though unpleasant, none can doubt. Let us drop even one-half of our egotism, we will then be not only free but united. A great number of artists care more for the pleasures of a beer saloon than they do of 'their studios, and taffeta I have noticed that before half the evening was spent, the classes at the Academy would be broken up from just that cause, and the opportu nity for studying was neglected. Now, who is to be - censured? Not the Academy's Di rectors, nor the rebellion, as "An Artist" insinuatingly remarks, no! Nottting but the artists themselves. If the present Di rectors don't manage affairs right, and we are able to prove it publicly, then put them out; they zserve but for one year. At an annual election our grievances can be righted. To the ballot box then we must appeal, if justice is not done. But it is ab surd to affect contempt for the Academy. It yet wields the power, and will for some time. The In stitution is good enough, and has centered around it the respect of the people. The artists will have years of toil, and unforseen difficulties will obstruct the advent of their new Academy to that position of respect which this one already possesses. Why throw away such an opportunity? Why not seize upon its position of respect, and turn ft to our ad van tage?since it was for us, as artists particu larly,.and the public ie general, that the in stitution was founded. We have the right to demand a bearing before the stockholders, and it is not likely they will turn a deaf ear to whom they are obligated. We are the producers, and can withdraw the major part of the Academy's support away from it, and let the present directors and stockholders take a timely hint, lest it may be done. But that would be crippling to both alike—the Academy and the artists ; it would be rebellious to common sense, and to principle; and the result would be two interior and antagonistic organizations. To stand a unit—artists, amateurs, connois seurs, and all of art's votaries, would be un doubted success; and with a little sacrifice and some es ertion, there could be made oat of the material now wasting for want of pro per direction such an enterprise as the Fine Arts of America never before produced— something of which, as State and city, we might be proud. We want the proper leaders; there are no public-spirited men among the artists to lead them, as an independent body, to suc cess. Nor have they a principle to unite them; each one is for himself—lost toorgan ized triumph. There are two sickly organ izations of artists now, and almost as many cliques as individuals composing them, viz : The Philadelphia Sketch Club, and the Artists' Fund Society. The 'elder and more superior artists belong to the Artists' Fund; the junior artists and students compose. the Sketch Club. When the latter entered upon an art enterprise last winter, it received from the active members of the Artists' Fund Society (by way of encouragement), the cold shoulder, well seasoned with con tempt and ridic ule, and an expressed dee termination to break the enterprise down. On the other band, when the Artists' Fend Society -gave a reception last March, at the Academy of the Fine Arts, the members of the Sketc.h Club did not see the advantage of supporting an open and avowed enemy. I wonder if by means like this, we will ever reach unity, or ever gain as a body, the respect of the public. It is proposed by some artists to run .the Academy out of existence, and build up one to be entirely under the administration of artists. The experience of professional jealousy developed in last winter's experiment, will well demonstrate how capable they are to manage successfully an institution of that kind. Whatie wanted now, to unite these dis cordant elements, is an energetic and spin ited leader one devoted to the Arts, in the Directorship of the Academy. Stich a mind has been suggested by the present • Presi— dent of the Academy, Caleb Cope, Esq., to succeed him in the chair, (with the stock holders' permission,) and he is James L. Claglio.rn. Upon him we all can unite as being, after Mr. Cope, the fittest man for the position. His three years' visit in Europe will - eminently adapt - him-for -the charge. Under his administration we , shall have a revival of the arts in the development of a new enterprise. A new Academy with com plete Academic schools:Will succeed his as sumption of that trust, and when we ones have there, the people will be infused with a new spirit, the artists by, attrition will have some of the rough corners knocked oft; and they will see , that others beside them have some understanding in . Art, and ap preciatiap of -what is just. They will he better prepared for the advent of a new eat than they are now. When Artists and Art' appreciated will unite in establishing a great "Head Centre," in the principle ave nue of thee city, native art will then re ceive such an impetus; that in a very few years the foreign trash will be crowded out, and no respectable auctioneer will disgrace hie city joy *air exposition; and ne citizen will risk his reputation of loyalty in the purchase of such pictures as have been sold lately at auction. But it will be eighteen months yet before Mr. Claghorn will return to:his native city, and in the meantime why not facilitate a project which is inevitable, and begin now to lay the fonndation for a new Academy of the Fine Arts. HORRIBLE IiIIRDER lAT YORIECOLNIY APontily of Three Persons Killed. [From the Harrisburg Telegraph of June 19th.] We have just learned the particulars of a terrible tragedy that has been enacted some three miles from:Lewiaberry, York county, resulting'n the murder of .three persons. George Squibb was a farmer ineasynuctun stances, residing in Warrington township, at the place indicated above and whose family consisted of himself; his wife and a grand-daughter, of about fourteen years of age. It was supposed Mr. Squibbs had considerable money „in his possession, and it seems that some fiend in human shape - determined, to secure this filthy lucre, even at the sacrifice of several lives. On Sunday night the monster vis ited the house of Mr. Squibb, and there murdered the whole family. The terrible affair was not discovered until yesterday morning, when the neighbors found Mr. S. lying on the porch of his house, his body bearing the marks of no less than fourteen cuts that had been made thereon with a knife in the hands of the murderer. The old man's life was not extinct, but he was insensible, and lived only until last even ing. Inside of the house was the form of Mrs. Squibb, horribly beaten and cut. She, too, was senseless, and there is not the least .hope entertained of her recovery, while it is highly probable that the vital spark has fled ere this reaches the eye of the read er. Near by lay the body of the grand daughter, cold in death. It was also stabbed, beaten and bruised. From the fact that all the victims were found divested of their shoes, it is believed the murder was com mitted when they were preparing to retire, which, according to their custom, must have been at an early hoar in the evening. Upon a search of the premises being made yesterday, about ssa) in money was found, which the murderer failed to lay his hands upon, but a married daughter who lives - in the vicinity, states that it was supposed Mr. Squibb had $7OO or $BOO in his possession, and it is probable that the robber obtained e 350 or s4so—a small recompense for his guilt as an assassin. It is not known who committed the crime; but he will yet be brought to justice, as "murder will out." The funeral of the grand-daughter took place at ten o'clock to-day and was attended by a vast concourse of citizens of the neigh borhood, among whom the most intense ex citement prevails in consequence of the brutal murder that has Just been perpe trated in their midst. Miss Caroline E. Squibb. a daughter of the murdered man, recently resided with Mrs. Streeter, No. 381 F street, Washington city,and despatches have been sent to notify her of the murder, but the operator reports that she has removed and cannot be found. In order that her whereabouts may be dis covered our Washington exchanges are res. peetfully requested to publish this notice. Expulsion of Rev. W. M. Ferguson from 0. N. Presbyterian Assembly. The following is the letter to the Colum bus (Ohio) Statesman, for writing which, Rev. Mr. Ferguson was expelled from the General Assembly of the Old School Pres byterian Assembly, lately in session in St. Louis: The debate in the Assembly ran higher to-day, or rather lower, than ever. It was reservedlor Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, to cap the climax of vulgarity and demagoguism. He certainly outdid himself in low allusions, false assumptions, bitter invective, personat abuse, and in every other mean thing that could characteriie an orator who appeared to be at the same time both a fool and a fiend! I grant this is strong language, but not a whit more so than the truth will warrant. His manner was monstrous! A dancing monkey's motions were graceful to it. In deed it was awful! Sublimely ridiculous His twiatings and bodily contortions, could they have been photographed, would have furnished comic almanac makers with an almost limitless number of grotesque sam ples for all time to come. Besides his dis gsting egotism—his self-righteous lada tiouns--his canting use of Scriptare-- u his boasting, dirty insinuations—in a word, his scurrility and blackguardism—exceeded anythingof the kind it was ever my painful misfortune to hear. The fact Italie disgraced himself—his Pres bytery—his Church—this Assembly and re ligion generally by his long, vile, illogical and most wickedly impassioned harangue. It brought a tinge of shame on the cheek of his best friends. Some who had no personal acquaintance with him thought he had a "Highland gill" in his cheek. But it is de clared that he is a radical temperance man. This most unfortunate exhibition of vul garity and malignity was called forth by a resolution of Dr. Boardman, on yesterday, on the unwarranted and wicked course being punmed by the majority of the Assembly in regard to Gov. Wickliffe, Tr., Stewart Robinson and Dr. Wilson, Dele gates from the Presbytery of Louisville, be cause said Presbytery did publish to the world a strong statement on the ille gal procedure of the General Assembly of last year in Pittsburgh. Mr. G. boldly affirmed that "a word spoken against the Assembly was treason, and the speaker a traitor;" that "Boardman was a traitor, and his speech yesterday treason, and till he washed his hands of the blood of this hellish crime, he (Mr. G.) would never sit down with him at the Lord's table." These were hie words. His speech, as published in the Democrat, may be bad enough; but as that sheet is exceedingly radical, and the only one that pretends to give verbatim reports phonographically taken, and as Mr. G.'s friends were shocked at- the outlandish in decencies and fallacies of thiS unfortunate affair, some of the more vulgar and blasphe mous parts may be omitted. But I weary you. Mr. Galloway surely forgot himself to-day. He has disgraced himself forever in the estimation not only of Christian gentlemen, but in the opinion of the ungodly world. Why the did-so no one can tell. It was unprovoked and un expected. He was not called to order by either member or Moderator, as the latter requested the Assembly to permit "great latitude" of discussion. It was as good as a monkey show to the populace—some of them hissed, others cheered! - Thus we ga-igo to pieces as a Church of - Christ. It is alarming to witness how rap - 'idly and superficially the legitimate bust nese of the Assembly is passed over, and how eager many are to "take upthe unfin ished business" relating to the Louisville Presbytery, &c. It is painfulto say it, but many think and say that this Assembly has done fax mep) against' the Interest pf ANOTHER ARTLsr. A despatch from Washington dated yea . terday says: The reports in circulation that President Johnson gave the Fenian leaders assurance that they should not be interfered 'with in their projected Canadian - raid are not true. The government never promised, diretitly or indirectly, to even wink at any violation of our laws. 'Colonel William R. Roberts, the Fenian President,received a larpe num ber of visitors to-day, among whom were Gen. Banks and other prominent politi cians.

He concluded by repudiating all con nection, directly or indirectly, with Roberts, Sweeny, or the Senate, and denounced all men who would endeavor to use the Irish people on this continent for any other pur pose than the liberation of Ireland; The audience afterwards formed in procession, and escorted the C. 0. I. R. to the Metropoli tan Hotel, where he was serenaded shortly before midnight. Colonel Felix O'Byrne who arrvied here yesterday with resolutions on the Fe nian question, has been arrested on a charge of obtaining money under - false 13retences. He was examined this morning, before Mr. Barnacle, when some amusing scenes took place. The case stands adjourned till ten. o'clock to-morrow. - A despatch from St. Albans, Vt., of yes terday, says—lt is rumored that ademand has been made by the Canadian -Govern ment upon the United States for.tbe extra dition of Generals Sweeny, Spear,,O'Nfail.
