Gerrit &math and John Brown. As the newspapers are speaking of my re lations to John Brown and of his purposes, it may not be amiss for me also to speak of them. AprilB, 1848, Brown came to my house, Ills residence, at that time, was in. Spring field, Massachusetts. I had recently dis tributed 120,000 acres of land 'among 3,000 colored men. This land was in a number of counties of the State of New York. Some of the grantees had already removed to their parcels in Essex and Franklin counties, 'where lay the great body of it. It was among these that Brown proposed to find a home for himself and family; and that purpose was, soon realized. In this wise began my ac quaintance with that remarkable man—an acquaintance, which soon ripened into. a warm and enduring friendship. His kind nesses to the little colored colony in gifts of barrels of flour, and other necessaries, and, above all, in advice and guidance, were num berless. His care for it was incessant. He was, in a word, its friend and father. There was his home until his death; and there, on one of the farms he obtained from me, sleeps his body. April 11, 1859, on his way from Kansas to his home, he visited Peterboro. Here, as in some other places through which he passed, he held a public meeting, in which he related his recent success in running off slaves to Canada, and asked contributions towards con tinuing his good work on a much larger scale. John Brown talked to me—but he never counseled with me—respecting his plans for freeing slaves. Then, too, for reasons which he mentioned to some of his friends, he did not feel as free to tell me, as he did to tell others,,the details of these plans. But I /earned enough of them to believe that, in addition to his former ways of helping off slaves, he meant to go into a mountain or mountains of a slave State, and invite slaves to flee to him, and to give them arms to resist attempts at their recapture. I con fees that, with all my leanings to. "non resistance." I did not object to this use of arms. For if a fugitive slave may not fight for his liberty, and stand for his life, who may ? If blood is shed in pursuit of him; the whole sin of it is on the pursuer. But that Brown intended a general insurrection, or the taking of any life except his who was foolish enough to attempt to drag back into the pit of Sla yea.), those Who had escaped from it, there is not the slightest reason to believe. Not the least evidence of it is there either in his words or deeds. Brown had a great horror of blood shed. He said in My hearing, and said it, too, from the depths of his humane and re ligions heart, that he would never, in any instance, take life, save in the strictest self defence. It was his consolation that, in de livering slaves, he had never hurt the person of any one. A great crime against the sacred memory of John Brown is the charge, that he embarked in any other insurrection (if that may be called one) than helping oft slaves and protecting them. Brown left Peterboro, April 14, 1859, and never returned to it. I never saw him again, and never again had I any communication with him, direct or indirect, touching his plans or movements. His only letter to me after that time was a few lines respecting his inability to obtain the paymed of a note I bad given him. This note for $250 was against one of his old friends and fellow laborers in Kansas. For months after I re ceived that letter, I was at a loss to know where he was- When he left Petesboro he had not yet decided whether to go into an Eastern or Western 61 , "'", 1 ;"-11`• ' 3 4,6t. , ... , 0, .1 think it was in AuOrthat I learned, in some indirect way—perhaps from mere ru mor—that Brown was in Chambersburg. In a similar way I learned, only a very few weeks, perhaps only a very few days, before his descent upon Harper's Ferry, that Brown bad gone into a slave State. I well remem ber looking into an Atlas to see what moun tain or mouA ins he had probably gone to. I. t hoped that the next news would be the welcome one of a stampede of slaves. But, instead of that, it was the painful ntws of the Harper's Ferry affair. I had not myself the slightest knowledge nor intimation of Brown's intended invasion of Harper's Ferry; and when I saw that George L.-Stearns, of Boston (that noble man, who was so intimate with Brown), testified before the Senate COmmittee that he too knew nothing of that intended_ invasion, I ques tioned whether a single person in all the North knew anything of it. Thus, also, tes , titled that other excellent friend of Brown, .” Dr. Howe, of Boston. Indeed, not one per son testified before the Committee that he knew. aught of the intended invasion. Nor was this universal ignorance in the matter in the least degree strange, for it turns out that it was only a very few weeks before his de scent upon Harper's Ferry that Brown had decided upon it. By the way, Brown him self, as he was reported, expressed deep re gret at this change in his plans. Having beard that some persons understand that Brown's words, in his two days' inter view with Ur. Frederick Douglass at Chain . bersburg serve to connect me with this in vasion of Harper's Ferry; to convict him of a plot of general insurrection; and myself of the knowledge of it, I asked Mr. Douglass to write me respecting that interview. As his letter goes to confirm the most important parts of what I have thus far written, I here with give it to the public: Rocrissrse., Aug. 9, 1867.—H0N. Gaiutrr t3MITII—M2J Dear Sir: I wish to say dis tinctly that John Brown never declared nor intimated to me that he was about to embark in a grand or unqualified insurrection; and that the only insurrection he proposed was the escaping of slaves, and their standing for their lives against any who should pursue them. For years before, Capt. Brown's long ,entertained plan was to go to the mountains in the slave States, and invite the slaves to glee there and stand for their freedom. His "objet was to make slave property unpro . iitttb,W by making it insecure. He told me ,110 hid g iven to yon • a general idea"of this .t, Pliuk , -I:kut that lie had not given you the „,Irdl particulars, lest you might turn from ”', bita us a visionary , and dangerous man. "''Alma;or four Weeks previous to his ' invasion tof iiarper i a Ferry; CaptaiVrown. requested me to have an interview with him at Chara bersburg, Pa. d I had it; and in that interview, `be informed me that he had determined upon, that invasion,, instead of carrying out his old plan of going into .the nmuntattia. He did -not, tell -me -that-you.knew_nnything ...of this new plan. I do not suppose that any of his friends at the North,outside of his own 'family, knew of it. Capt. Brown never told me that you knew anything of his guns nether weapons. You are at full liberty to make use of this statement in any way you may deem proper. As ever, 'yours very truly, FREDERICK Much has been said of Brown's guns, and how he got them., I do not recollect that he ever spolke to me of them. I remember how surprised I was to find,..after the Harper's Feriy affair, that he-had obtained posses.sion of the Kansas rifles: As to the pikes—l had the strong impression that he had told .me, several years before, that he purposed getting them to put into the hands of the honest set tiers in Kansas. I was surprised, but, I can fess, not at all displeased, when I found, among the revelations of Harper's Ferry, that he meant to put pikes into the hands of fugi tive slaves, with which to defend thernselves against pursuing dogs and pursuing men. Of course, I would not have it implied from what I have here said, that I supposed John Brown would enter upon his work unarmed. I acid that I distinctly' remember having heard (but_l cannot recall in what way) that, at or about-the time Brown entered the land of slaves, boxes -of disguised arms entered With him. But it is said that I gave money to Brown in the year 1859; and it is inferred that I gave it to help his invasion .of Harper's Ferry and to help him produce an insurrection. Un warrantable inference! It is also' inferred from my giving him money in. 1859, that I gave him much money in that year. An other unwarrantable inference! I met Brown in Syracuse in 1855, on his way to Kansas. I handed him $2O to buy bread for _some starving ones in Kansas he might fall in with. Every year from that to his last, he was one of the distributors of my surplus means. lie often asked me for small sums. I never re fused him. And, yet, the whole amount of what I gave him, from first to last, includina one gift of $2OO, was hardly a thousand dol lars—an amount not greater than what I might well have given him in return for his gifts and goodness to my colored colonists. Ever after he began his brave and effective labors in Kansas, I told • him to use at his own discretiorit he received from me. I must, however, admit, that I trusted he • would use it chiefly for the deliverance of the oppressed. The reader is; perhaps, surprised that I gave by the many thousands to the Kansas and other anti=slavery associations, and yet made my gifts so small to even the worthiest individuals, who labored with me in' the cause of these associations. The ex planation. is found in my fir greater, reli ance on the collective wisdom in these asso ciations than on the wisdom of the wisest individual. To return, was it wrong in me ! to give Brown money to help the oppressed with ? If so, how then can it be right in me to give money to Daniel O'Connell, to Polish com mittees, to Italian Republicans, to the Greeks now, and also morethan 40 years.ago? Was it wrong because my oppressed countrymen were black men ? But . with. me "a man's a man." Was it wrong because there was law for slavers? I knew no 'law for any Piracy—least of all for slavery, which' is.the..J superlative ..piracy,—.Not for the less injurious; crime of murder would I recognize a law. I say . less injurious, for what right minded parent would not rather his child were mur,dered than enslaved?. Law !is' a sacred thing, and I; therefore, deny that the abomination of slavery can be embodied in it. Such, by the way, would .be the denial of every man, who should be so unhappy as to fall under the yoke of slavery—and,!.there - fore, should it be his denial now. But my gifts to Brown show only a small part of my relations with him. For many years, and .relations to the•last year of his life, he had business transactions with me. He borrowed money from me.. He deposited money with me. 'He bought farms from me. The title of eighty acres of•land, which he bought from me in .1853 and then paid for, Le,left in my name, when he hade Me . "Farewell 1" on the 14th of April, 1859, • and in my name it remained at •the time of his death. I did not hold the land subject to the repayment of the sums he drew from me in 1858 and 1859. These sums were not ad vances or loans, but gifts—and gifts too, I admit, to help him deliver his and my en slaved brethren. " 6 a lio:gist not omit to say that my money dealings Midland dealings with _Brown did not all - passi through my own hands. More of them pissed through the hands of Mr. ' Calkins, who has been my clerk for the last 30 years, and my chief clerk for the last 25 years. Ile knew more of my business' with BrOwn than I did.. I might add that he knew more of thrown himself than I did, as he saw much of him not only in my Land Office, but also at Brown's residence, where' never saw him. • . Now that I have done speaking of my rela lions to John Brown and of his purposes, let me say that I cast no blame on any one for sup posing that I had a full knowledge of Brown's plans and of his changes in them. That I had is, I admit, a not very unreasonable in ference from the intimate relations both of business and friendship existing between us. Nevertheless, so it is, that I had but a partial knowledge of these plans and_.not the least knowledge of his exchanging or abandoning them fur others. Right here, too, let me say that I do not feel myself at all dishonored by the coupling of my name with any of Brown's endeavors for the liberation of the slave. Even where truth forbids the coupling, re gard for my reputation does not forbid it. The more the public identifies me with John Brown, the more it honors me. As I knew Brown so well and loved him so well, it was ( not<uifrehsehable to suppose that I, too, would give his character to the public. Thank God! Brown did that him self, His life, crowned by his well-nigh matchless death, shows unmistakably and fully what was his character. His words, all the way from his capture to his death, sweeter or- sublimer than which' there have been . none since Jesus walked the earth, leave tui room for mistake or ignorance of his character. And, here let me say, that Jesus was in Brown's heart the Blessed and Loved One. Were I asked to say, in the fewest and plainest words, what Brown was,. my answer would be that he was a religtouB man. Ile had ever a deep sense of the claims of God and man upon Lim, and his whole life was a• prompt, prac tical recognition of them. Brown was en tirely, and, I might perhaps add, stiffly ortho 'dox. I do not believe that he doubted the truth of one line of the Bible. Twice he attended the religious conversational meeting which we hold in Teterboro; and ; each time he criticised remarks of mine, which he re garded as theologically unsound. His ever favorite hymn was that, beginning: ye the.trumpet i -blow!" •-: . 1' All the metaberaof my,flunily held Brown in high regaid. :Ben:esthete !stern look beat one of the kindest hearts.

In 1858 he anti a littl'hompson, wiui-watt his neighbor iu Es sex county, came to my office. Be had pur-. chased Mr. Thompson's: interest in a farm. %lie I was making out the opera:which they needed, Brown ceitainly tivme, and, I beheve, three times, aoked:Thompson, if the' price were great enough; telling him to make it greater if he thought Rroper.. It occurred to me, at the moment, that Brown went be yond the Christian preeept v and cared (Wen more for his neighbors rights' than for his Own. Let me acid that Thompson beautifully declined to increase the price. It is quite prObable that John Brown will be the mast admired, person in American his tory. Washington worked well—but it was for his own race—only for his equals. 'William Lloyd ..Garrison has lived tor a despised and otitraged race. John Brown both lived and died for it; and few names, even in the trorlars histornw ill stand as high as his. Men begin to ask why a monument to the memory of. John Brown has not vet been built. The day, for building John Brown's 'Monument has not yet come.. It will be built where stood his gallows; and it would not. yet be weleotne there. Its base will be broad and its shaft will pierce the skies, But the appreciation of his sublime character is not yet sufficiently just and wide-spread to call for the rearing of such a structure. in executing this work of love and admiration, Southern hands will join with Northern hands. In rendering this tribute to the grandest man of the age, Southern zeal will not fall behind Northern zeal. In deed, it may well be expected that the gene rous and ardent South will, ere the coo) and calculating North is ready to do so, confess the enormous crime of the nation—of the whole nation—against the black man. Nay. it is just because the North is not yet reAy to confess it that there is not yet peace be tween her and. the South. That confeion would surely bring the peace. For it would involve the further confession of the common responsibility of North and South for the cause of the war, and it. is the sense of that common responsibility which would impel the North to afford such' relief to the war impoverished South as would win her heart, and result in a true and enduring peace. But the North and South will come right. They will both repent of having for genera tions trodden out the life of the black man. And then they will love each other. And then God will make them the happiest nitim in all the earth. And then to have enloye.7d the confidence of John Brown, as did How e. . and Parker. and Stearns, and kouglass, and Sanborn, and Morton, and many others, will no longer be counted dishonor, but, on the contrary, high honor. Blessed indeed will be the day which shall witness these things! Then John Brown's day will have come— and then will John Brown's monument be built: GERRIT SMITH. Peterboro, Aug. 15, 15(17., Gambling at nomtiourg—A: Descrip tion.by liter. Dr. Bellow s. - Rev. Dr. Bellows has had . a view of the gaming-houses at Hombourg, and in, a letter to the Liberal Christian describes what he saw. He says "Deep playing is sure to attract a crowd of spectators, and commonly at any given time there will be only one per son at each table who is playing for a stake of five Napoleons—about $2O---for each 'coup'; that is, each deal of cards or turn of the roulette. Most of the players pledge a two-florin piece (eighty cents) on every coup. Even at this rate, as the deal occurs once in a minute or two, much money may be lost or won in a half hour; and for the heavier players, who begin with five Napoleons and double their stake every tiMe,.it is plain thit several thou sand francs may be changed from the private pocket to the bank, or from the bank to the" private pocket in ten or fifteen minutes. I haVe seen men and women both going away minus two or three thottqand francs after a half-dozen coups, and some others carrying away as much after ten minutes', successful playing. Usually, however, large players are too fond of the excitement to leave be-- 'cause they arc fortunate. They stay more commonly to shift their fortunes and leave their winnings with the bank. If every gamester left the fable when the chances were in his favor the bank would soon be out of capital. But it reckons too surely upon th'es' appetite which'success stimulates. FASCINATION OF CIA_UItLING. "I have tried to analyze the fascination of, gambling by watching the faces and the play of those engaged in it. A more serious com pany. it is hard to conceive of than the one gathered around these tables.. Silence, gravity, unsmiling attention, absorption in the busi ness in hand, a, strained composure and fixed expression, neither moved by , success • nor disturbed by ill-luck, are the prevailing characteristics. - You look in vain for the nervous, impassioned, suicidal expressions of countenance you are taught to ex pect. Most of the company at ~pjay, look beautifully -unconscious of anything unusual, disgraceful or sinful in their occupation. They are simply intent upon the game, each man watching his stake with unfeigned inter est, but with a practised knowledge of the risks and a feeling that he may gain at the. next turn what he lost in the last. The pos sibility of success is always before the player, and he sees success attending his neihbor. The fact that' in one minute by sinking a florin you may make it two 'or twenty, pre sents an excitement which, to those without moral scruples on: the subject, must be very fascinating. "Nothing but a well-considered and estab lished conviction of the public and private demoralization and peril 'of gambling could . prevent persons from dipping into its deceit ful waters here, where a sort of exceptional. license . covers gambling from. reprobation; where all its concomitants are decorous; where drinking and carousing and the more common forms of dissipation are suppressed; where people of excellent social position and general respectability—lords and barons, bankers and countesses, gentlemen and ladies of fixed standing—are found amusing them selves at the gambling-table, and where it is open and legalized, and - conducted' with' un questioned fairness. Then it is doubtful whether the lookers-on are not really - par ticipants to the extent of lending the counte nance of their Presence to the immoral game. I"Curiosity and a desire to study human nature under a powerful passion, has drawn me very often into the saloon; but I confess I never felt quite innocent even in watching . this beguiling 'and perilous fountain of ruin and corruption. The chief evil is not done here at Hombburg, or at other public tables. It is the passion .'which is first awalte.ned under the comparatively innocent circum stances of these public and honestly-conducted gambling-rooms which lead thousands 'of young men, and old ones too, to private play, until it becomes the business of their lives or the ruin of their fortunes and bodies and souls. The more habitual players here seem to be old men and women. Byron calls 'avarice a good old gentlemanly vice.' Certainly the love of the excitement .of gambling Seems to survive most s other pas sions. No form of gambler ' has'appeared so truly disgusting, however, as that ;of the old 'woman. .A young countess, lovely person and dignified and self-possesSed;whOmi I saw now losing, now wlnning, , conakierable sums, did not lose quite all her charms in the • atmosphere of the gambling table; but aeverul old hags in' lace and jewels, who: sat•hour• after hoer at the board, seemed made' to disgrace their sex* and their age. t inuititeritteN OR:PLAYERS. +The superstitions of the.: players are a singular exhibition of the credulity of those; , who have.'generadYt'eeaSed:CaL'have ady-faith 'in God or man. No grovelling worshipper of an imaginary toe-nail of an imaginary saint ever exceeded in superstition the mass of men and women who sit at these gambling tables, solemnly pricking holes in their card gospels, from which they read their guidance and through which they peep into the future fortunes which await them. Victims to ab surd mysticisms about lucky numbers' and false inferences from the absurd law of aver- • ages, they go religiously on, trusting.:.their Stars and tied to theirdotage. “One very piers gambler; who believeS in our - glorious liturgy; bat, not in preaching, hurrio from his Sunday prayers to try hiS luck.at roulette,Upon the 24-10 (chapter and verse) of the txt the minister announces!

Non' it is the Nine which the divinities of the gam bler's table have consecrated, and the next day Seven or Twenty-three. "If Maximilian is shot by seven men; on the 19th of June, seven and nineteen would be the secret talisman of the first gamester that heard the news, if he was not warned by. the fate of the noble gambler in thrones, who staked his life acid lost it upon the throw! Were there thirtv•one words in Napoleon's letter to M.

"Failure to-:day would do as little to cure the folly of such a hope as the empty results of ignorant and fanatical expectations do usually to correct superstitions. It is not the fruit of the superstition, but the superstition itself which is precious ! Religion, even in its fat est forms, is more disinterested than defamers of human nature suspect. But enough of this hateful but fascinating theme." Mr. Hume, the Spiritualist, and Mrs. Lyons's Money. (Linden a %ng. 4 , Correpondence 4. - 4 w the Belfast Nesv LLeta.] As a variety of stories are going the round of the parties in reference to the forthcoming extraordinary trial in- which Mr. Hume- Lyons, the famous American spiritualist, is to plsy a distinguished r;//.., and, as the whole of the facts are known to me, you may as well have the a-ermine version of the affair. The proceedings at law are to recover the ' sum of .1:39,000, which an old lady named Lyons made over to Mr. Hume in consideration of her- esteem and affection for him, and also in consideration of his taking her name. It seems that, one evening, some 3 years since, a shabbily-dressed old woman called upon Mr. Hume, and expressed her de sire to join a society composed for the most part of persons interested in spiritualism, who desired tofound a permanent centre or place of meeting, which they called "The Athenaeum." The applicant's . appearance was not such as to induce the belief that she could afford to pay so high an entrance fee as five guineas; but when Mr. Hume mentioned the amount she said that the money was no consideration, and gave her cheque for the required sum. She begged Mr. Hume to call and see her the following day.:-:. This:v..4c said, he Was unable to do; biit; on her preSS ing the request, he said he would call upon her • in the course , of a few days, and he did . so. She subsequently sent him a present of £5O, which -he returned. Shortly afterward, she informed him that she had no friends or relations for whom she had any regard, and that she mtended to-adopt him as her son, present him with,,A:24,000, and make a will in his favor, bequeathing him property to the extent of about £150,000. This proposal took Mr. Hume so much by surprise that he very properly informed her that he mast consult his friends, and that lie could not actin the matter without their ap proiral. He did, accordingly, consult Mr. S. C. Hall, Mr. Wilkinson, of Lincoln's Inn Fields, and other persons of high respectability, and, at his request, Mr. - Wilkinson wrote to Mrs. Lyons on behalf of Mr. Hume, urging her to consider well the step she was ithq.it to take. She replied thal, she knew very well what she was about. Eventually, the sum of £24,000 was trans ferred to trustees for the benefit of Mr. Hume, who then, according to arrangement, took the name of Lyons in addition to his own pv,ro nymic. • Mrs. Lyons continued to regard Mr. Hume as her son. She insisted upon making her houge his home, so. far as passing the day with her, but he continued to sle . e.p_ at the lodgings he had occupied in Sloane street When he made her aCqUailitancu. The habits of the lady were eccentric and penurious; but . until lately she never exhibited any desire to revoke what she bad done. On the contrary, she wrote to the trustees of Mr. Hume stating that she wished to give her adopted son a surprise on his birthday, and that she desired to add 4:4;,000 to the £2-1,000 already given him, in order to make the gross amount £30,00U. This was accordingly done, and the money invested in mortgage of real estates in -York shire. Such being the true version of affairs, it seems difficult to understand upon what principle of equity the gift can be revoked. Mrs. Lyons married the grandson of the Earl of Strathmore, and has been a widow about seven years. A Curious Story—Treasure '!'rove in Columbia County, N. [From iho Hudson titan] It seems that a math named Elias Tonquey many years ago settled upon a large tract of land about three miles north of Millerton, it being a part of Mount Rhiga, known as Ton quey mountain(named after him), and having a holy horror of the female sex, built himself a lOg hut and dwelled therein, secluded and alone. The old hermit was in the habit of taking his stock to Canada every fall and selling it there. Being paid for the same in silver, on his return Eome he used to hide hts treasure away, and at one time placed sonic silver coin in an old iron pot and deposited it .In the cellar of his hut, which was discovered a few weeks after by some boys and stolen. This served to put the old fellow upon his guard, and he afterwards buried his surplus funds in the ground in various places, As years rolled on, the old hermit became possessedof the strange hallucination that all women who had black hair and eyes were witches, and he would not allow one so favored on his premises. On one occasion woman with black hair and oyes chanced to come or his grounds, and he seized a knife and rushed at her in a frantic manner, caught hold of her arms and cut a cross on her fore head, so that the world might knew that she was a witch:. For this grave offence he was arrested and brought to trial, and the jury to whom the case was. submitted brOwtht in a verdict for the, "witch" of ssoo. The old fellow did not demur, but promptly paid the money all in silver! Extreme old age finally deprived the eccentric man of his senses,,,and the lawyers of the vicinity where he lived,like sharks after a corpse co Mraitted to the sea, become pasiessors of alt :the laid bekmg-, lug to the inErmhermit,anit'not, knowing .111mgal . ..where he had buried - . his money', and never Wing given his friends-the magic words "Open Sesame" Witte treasure vaults, 40 bad to becOrneA toWn;chatget,and a lotait- Ter,. which' lietelatinuedles be Una he-illed: It bad oftew been rumored that the:odd dispositionedherMit must have 4;l4rge amount. of. money buried, and those persons hiving to.travel by the.promisettOrdeceasedinstt sidewise glance at the stirroundings in hopes that some silver mine would be disclosed to their anxious optics, but they were disap pointed. One day a man named Byron tishop,one of those rollicking sort of persons who are just as contented with a dime as a million dollars, accompanied by his son, hap 'pened to be passing over.Tonquey mountain, and the boy, seeing a piece of wood under a shelving rock, called the attention of his father to the•same, and he at once pulled ths same out from the rock, and at first supposed it to be a sap trough, but on turning -it-over discovered that a thin piece of wood had been nailed on one side, anO, he priell it tram its plate, when, 30! and behold! out rolled a large quantity . of silver coin! Bishop pro ceeded to fill his-Pocket full of the precious metal, and the remainder he put in a tin pail, and at once returned to his house and found his family just eating supper. He stalked into theroom, walked up to the table and emptied his pockets and pail of silver on the table, to the astonishment of all present, and told the story of good luck in a trice. Being a spendthrift, Bishop was not satisfied until the money was gone, amounting to about $2OO. Our informant says that a few of the neighbors bought some of the silver pieces from the fihder ' and at the time he saw Bishop all he had left of the proceeds of the money was a pair of new boots and blankets. CITY BULLETIN. Tnu;rll.: or Rl:sem T.—ln the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday District Attorney Mann an nounced the death of William B. Hieskell and George Erety, two members of the Philadelphia bar, deceased Within the week past. Mr. Manu, in a feeling manner, allnded to his departed brethren, whom he characterized as gentlemen high in their profession, spotless iu their lives, of_ eminent abilities and rare attainments, whoseloss is the more deeply to be deplored because it is not alone the loss of the family and social circle, but that of the entire - community. Of Mr. Erety he could my that he felt the sincerity of his friend ship, and its remembrance in the future will be one of the brightest and most cherished memo ries of the heart. He now moved that, in respect to the memory of their brethren, the Court do adjourn. Judge Brewster said—The Court is under an obligation to the District Attorney for undertaking the painful duty of making the announcement we • have just heard, and for the manner in which he has discharged that duty. It Is with deep regret that the Court at any ti - mOtear of the decease of any gentleman of the bar, for all its members are eminently entitled to our highest respect and es teem. The occasion is, however, peculiarly mournful when it brings its regrets at carting with those who have for many years been emi nent in the practice of their profession. Wm. B. Hiesheil, Esq., was knoWn to all the bar and judiciary of our city and to many members of this community as a most excellent and exem plary gentleman. Always courteous and skillful, of great learning and of strict integrity, his decease occasions a loss we must all deplore. George Erety, Esq., filled for many years offices -of honor and trust, the duties of which he dis charged with peculiar satisfaction to the commu nity. As a magistrate and President of the Guardians of the Poor he was for a long time in. positions in which the slightest infirmity or delinquency would have tken detected or no ticed. Yet, in all this time, no taint of calumny ever attached to his fair name. As a lawyer he was always respected by his „brethren of the bench and bar. The community. may snot know • that they are indebted to Mr. Ercty's persistent inouiries for a translation of the works of the cdebrated philosopher Epictetus.. True gentle men—sincere-friends—ripe-scholars, full of loVe and 'Christian princlide,our brothers have passed away, from us, leav ng us the rich consolation contained in the bright examples of theitpure lives. In rpipect to their memory, and In compliance with the request of the District Attorney, it 13 or dered that these proceedings be noted on the min utes, and that the court now adjourn. • A meeting of the members of the bar was held yesterday, in the Supreme Court room, with reference to the death of William B. Ilieskell, Esq. William M. Meredith, Esq., was called to the chair, and Robert H. McGrath appol ted secretary. James E. Gowen, Esq., offered re following resolutions, which were unanimous, adopted: Rooked, That the members of the Philadelphia bar here assembled have heard with deep sensi bility of the death of their late associate, William B. Ilieskell, Esq. • /4,m/red, That in the death of Mr. ITieskell we deplore the loss of one admired for his profes sional learning and ability, honored for his in tegrity, and beloved for his genial and amiable I disposition. I Resolved, That we tender our most respectful and profound sympathy to the family of our de parted friend in their heavy bereavement. Resolved//hut a committee of five be appointed by the chairman" to communicate these resolu tions to the family of Mr. ilieskell. , • Addresses Were made by Mr. Gowen and by George W. Biddle, James IL Horn; and Peter MeCidl, Esqi. • , • • PIIESENT3IENT OF THE GRAS6 Juuv. The Grand Jury made their presentment to the court of Quarter Sessions, yesterday, as follows: The Grand Jury of the Commonwealth of Penn- N..lvanla, inquiring for the city and county of Philadelphia, for the August sessions, upon their respective oaths and affirmations; do present that they have acted upon Gl9 bills, of which a:II have been found true Mils and 285 have been ignored. The incessant application requisite to transact this large amount of business within the fourteen days allotted for their session has rendered it im possible for them to visit the public institutions of the city and county. From the fact that their condition and necessities were reported to the Honorable Court by the Grand Jury of, the pre ceding term, we apprehend that our omission to visit them at.this time will not be esteemed a dereliction of official duty on our part. or in any way detrimental to the interests of these insti tutions. In our action npota the indictments for selling liquor on Sunday we have been guided solely by the testimony and the instructions of tile Court, irrespective of any private conviction as to the policy of the law; but we desire to call atten tion to the feet that a very large proportion of the evidence before us Was given either by pri vate citizens or members of families who had suffered from the persistent violation of this law, instead of being furnished by the officers of the law on whom properly devolves the responsi bility of its enforcement; and whose opportuni ties of observing its infraction are necessarily superior to those of private individuals, who should not be left to take the initiative in the prosecution of offenders. Facts which have come to. our knowledge ren der it necessary for us again to call the atten tion of the proper authorities to the urgent ne ccssity which exists for a llouseof Correction. ;This is a matter which has been very long before the, , pubilc, and we cannot but regard it as a dis grace to a city of the size and wealth of .Bhiladel phia, that it should still be in want of au institu tion so indispensable for the proper disposition of so large a proportion of cases, • Judge Brewster said: Gentlemen, of Uur G eand Jury—The Court have read your presentment with great satisfaction. It informs us of the large extent of your labors. Our records have already ndvised us of your fidelity, punctuality, and industry. It is much to be regretted that the authorities have not asyet taken the proper measures for the erection of a house of correction, the need of 10)10 has been so long and so urgent ly fell by the community. It is to be hoped that the frequent reference to this subject by courts and Grand juries will at last so awaken public attention to thisolinpOrtant scatter that the • com munity will soon receive that protection.to which they have been so long entitled. You have 'at tended with'groat regularity, and have frequently remained in session many hours beyond the 'usual timeallotteit to the labors of Grand Jurors. , •You are disci:Larked for the term with We thanks of the Cinart for the fairness, impartiality, and with which you havo,,diseharged your important nud fesporielblo duties. • PEN24t-iirLV.O.l.l. IM SOCY.—The - regular lermonthly meeting was held last evening. T ere was a general display of plants, the varie tieleand qualities of which attracted the admira tit* of the visitors. The fine specimens of the gladiolus, pears, nectarines, blackberries and vegetables were highly creditable. This was the flrat.:_menthly display t)f the_ Society.in .their upper hall, which was found to answer well the purposes for which it was designed. In addition to the usual liberal prizes, it was announced by President King that at the next annual exhibition in September, speelal and liberal premiums would be given to those con tributing large exotics for the decoration of the heal a The society is not yet able to do all that it ires, the building having drawn largely upon its resources. It was announced, also, that Mr.. Von Houte, Superintendent of the Royal Gardens at, Ghent, Belgium; had offered to the society, through Mr. Thomas Meehan, of Phila delphia, to present to them, whenever the con- • ternplated botanical - garden was established in Philadelphia, duplicates of all the rare plants of which duplicates exist. . • • • PATENT FRUIT JARS.-A patent has lately been; taken out for the manufacture of air-tight Fruit Jars, which for simplicity of construction and the readiness with which they can be hermeti cally sealed, excel anything of the kind yet pro duced. These jars, which are for sale by P. et J. Bodine, No. 1 . 28 South Front street, are provided with metallic lids with. turned-clown edges, with thin Strips of gotta percha around the Inside of the lids, which, by means of a raised incline on the neck of the jar, can be readily tightened to , the ground edge of the jar mouth. • The result Is a combined lid and clamp (one piece), which closes or opens the Jars with a slight turn, and without injury to the covers, which can thus be. used repeatedly. The Jars will undoubtedly come into general use. EMIGRANT TRAVEL—There has been a large increase in the number of emigrants passing over the Pennsylvania Railroad, as compared with previous years.

The expedition designs striking sonic of the Indian villages on the Saline river, ten days' march front here. No wagons are taken; and the troops go pre pared to move rapidly. More troops are de manded here, or the territory will have to be abandoned. The commanding officer at this fort is cum pietely crippled, being surrounded bySa vages,_ and having hardly a corporal's guard of men. An Origintal Docuanent. The vexed question of the eight-hour sys tem of labor has at length been definitely settled,' by a meeting of workingmen in Cali fornia, who, after a prolonged debate, sub mitted the following report, disposing of the matter in a novel and ingenious manner. The report is copied verbotim, from a newspaper published on the spot., "Supposing a man work ten hours in one day at three dollars he will, earn thirty cents per hour, and work sixty hours in, one week which amounts to eighteen dollars per week we will say be pays five dollars per week to his employer for board will leave him thirteen dollars clear for the week While the Eight hour system man works forty eight hours in one week and earn 14,40 dollars and forty cents and loses twelve hours equivalent to one and a half day, on the eight hour Seale or one and two tenths on the ten hour scale or equivelant to three dollars and sixty cents at fife rates of •' :30 cents 'per hour Now the --- Eight—hour-marr-does not earn so much in perportion as the ten hour man, for this reason it will take him seven days and a half to , perform the same 'amount of labor that the ten hour man will in one week, and their not being onlyisix laboring days in one week he will have to pay in per portion for horde, consequently we. deduct one day and a half cord whitch is one dollar and six cents and add to the five 'dollars as. Will bill wheteh makes six. dollars .and six cents Now deduct six • dollars and six cents front fiturteen dollars and forty cents and he will have 8 dollars and thirty-four cents for his weeks work consequently we do not believe this Eight hour principle to. have originated among the laboring class, but to get up a pOlitical ishue. If the lab6r takes a figerative view of the result of one weeks work he will not fitvorto such policy. , The , most prominent feattire of the sistum is a direct Road to poverty and indolence.". This is, of course, conclusive,' no intelli gent Workinan being capable of taking"the direct road to poverty and -indolence" with hie eyes thus opened by his California brother aborers. • REAL ESTATE SALES.
