Edward T. Young, of No. 14 West Sixteenth street; was sud denly taken ill by a stroke of paralysis of the left side, and after lingering for over two days,expired at a quarter of an hour before five o’clock yester day morning. The parentsof the distinguished dead were na* lives of Ireland, who emigrated to the United States in 1812, and for a while took np their resi dence in New Jersey, where Thomas A. Brady, their eldest son, was born in 1613. He became a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and died at Tampico, during the Mex ican war. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. Brady removed to ibis city, in which the subject of this sketch was born on the 9th of April, 1815. He received a liberal education, studied law, and in 1835 was admitted to the bar. His great natural ability and legal attain ments soon placed him in the list of the most eminent lawyers of New York. As a pleader In criminal cases he was distinguished for the happy manner in which he would com bine the most artful arguments without de viating once from the truth. In the great “India rubber” case, between Day and Goodyear, Mr. Brady was associated with Daniel Webster, and that great statesman was profuse in his praise of the able manner In which bis associate conducted the proceedings. It would, of coarse, be Impos sible to narrate all tbe important law salts de fended or prosecuted by the deceased. Tbe last case of more than ordinary interest in which he was engaged was the recent trial of General Cole, at Albany, for the mnrder of Mr. Hiscock. and which resulted, as will be remembered, in the acqnittal of the accused. While quite a young man Mr. Brady attached himself to the Democratic party, becoming in time one of its acknowledged leaders in this State, Tbe only office he ever held, however, wasi a local one—that of Corporation Counsel for this oily. He was freqneutiy solicited to become the Democratic nominee lor Jndgeship. but always perbr're> , p|ied very graciously and even cordially, and the f pprty afterwards waited ppon tho Empress, who It), *' —ived " ' in her nrino*" rece. - »nan ..her private apartment, eur ronndedby her ladles, and produced an evident impression by her beauty and grocer of manners and gorgeous toilette. General Prim’* Dcslcaib ' The Madrid correspondent of the N.Y. Tribuns writes ns follows: j The Montpensler people have been ranch ex cited, by a fresh revelation o( Prim’s plana—or r pbatpurport to be such. On# of the Dane’s or gans printed an anonym one letter, affirming that »; bargain bad been struck between Prim, the i King or Italy,and Napoleon, according to which Victor Emmanuel's second son, tho> Duke of Acosta, was to be put on the Spanish throne. Prince Humbert, his elder: brother,' is In Ill health, not likely to hare an heir, and scarcely txpcoied to live, so that the chances of the Duke , of Aosta, for the Italian throne. are considerable. By this bargain he la to renounce them to favor of Clotllde, and the probable accession Of that lady and her husbandPrlnce Napoleon Is the bait Which Induces the French Empefer.to be a party to this excellent scheme, and, to give his support to Prim. Its result would be to make Prim practically Dictator, spice the Duke of Aosta la a man or snck feeble intellect as to be almost Imbecile. There Is an alternative arrangement, provisional or contin gent on some event not specified, by which the crowns abonld be shitted, the Duke of Aosta be coming King of Italy and Prince Napoleon King of Spun. Due would think the Napoleons had bad enough of Bpain some fifty years ago. ' I don’t repeat this story because ! believe it,but because It was for a day or two very generally belie Ted in Madrid, and shows well enough how. much sincerity Prim is credited within his profes sion of .abhorrence far foreign intrigue. It hasjUßt this basis of fact to rest upon : Claldinl's visit a month since. The . official organs of the three countries persisted go strenuously In .denying to Claldlni , any ; official character that everybody believed he must have come on a regular mission. It was, In fact, as' I ifrote at the time, semi-official, the only doubt : being whether he came In the interest of the Duke,of Aosta er t the Prince ol Carignan, who ajbout that timeWaa supposed to be Napoleon’s ‘ favorite. But Clnldini Is believed to have gone . home satisfied that ho arrangement was practi cable, ’ i flcverdy JoHnaon on Bonnets* I Tbe Fall Mall Gazette, ol the 19th alL.cpnfelna this: > Mr.Revcrdy Johnson was at Luton,yesterday, afadpaid some compliments to tee young women ebgagcdin the straw-plait manufacture, of which Indusury Luton is the principal seat. The occa sion was the opening of a' new corn exchange and plait hails,. Earl Cowper, aa lord lien tenant after dilating upon the - identity Of English and American institutions, Mr. %JdhoadnTogreUed for ibesako of\the y oungwomen of Lnton that the old style tit bonnets had not been revived. the Minister, “what those Frenoh artists call bonnets are not bonnets at all; they are hot even caps; Ido not know that a night eapjwonld be more beautiful,but certainly It wonld be more useful. What can be more admirable, however, even in the ease of those small bonnets, than the skill and taste which these lady work* women of yours turn out their productions ? Why, those articles are gems of beauty, and they make the female face more lovely—if that be pos sible—than it has been made by nature. Ton see that, though far advanced in life, I have not yet forgotten the tastesof my earlier days, and I only pray that whenever I do so in this particular, Heaven may be pleased to take me to another world." Lord Cowper,at the dinner in the evening, followed in Mr. Johnson’s wake, suggested, os ho proposed “The Queen,” that wo had one great advantage over the United States in the fact that we could be governed by a lady. But Mr. John son wonld not even admit that. When he got np to return thanks for his health, he said: “We have neveryettried the experiment of having a young and beautiful woman elected oar Presi dent. However, in this age of progress, when strong-minded women are abroad, who can tell what la going to happen? Mlt Bhonld happen, my lord, that we elect a beautiful, charming, in tellectual woman, don’t delude yourself by the belief that we shall not cherish her as much as yon cherish your beloved Queen. And don’t be lieve either that our executive authority will not be administered with the same wisdom as that with which your Qneen may exercise her author ity.” Some facts In reply to the recent petition of Occupants and Owners of Property on North Broad street for an extension of time for the re moval of the rails: . First —The warehouses there are not now and bave not generally been filled to near their capa city. The grain depot of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company in West Philadelphia is, tbe writer confidently asserts, of larger capacity than all the storage room on Broad street now oc cupied. Second —The tolls for months past on Broad street have not paid the city the cost of main taining the road. Third —Favorablo locations for the transfer of the business arc to be had on Pennsylvania ave nue, from the Columbia Railroad bridge to the Delaware; on the Junction Railroad; on the west side of the Schuylkill, from the Columbia bridge to Gray’s Ferry bridge, and br tbe Prime Street Railroad to the Delaware and its branch on Swanson street, and on Market street, between the bridge and Broad street. Some of the sign ers have already purchased on these lines. (One of ihem, an extensive machinist, declares him self Indifferent as to whether the removal takes place or not.) Fourth —The largest real estate broker iH the city affirms that since the taking up of the rails on South Broad street, last May, houses and lots there havo advanced one-third in value, whiah secures a large increase in tho amount ot taxes to the city. Tho appreciation of Broad street by our citlaons for residences is shown by the splendid improve ments on the north of Rldgo avenue, notwith standing tho near neighborhood of the nuisance ou tbe south. Fifth— Tbe Improvements of the signors are of llttlo value, being for tho most part of a shanty or shell character. Sixth— ln 1861 Councils resolved unanimously that tho rails on South Broad street should be re moved, but tbe carrying out of tho measure was arrested by an injunction of the Supreme Coart. This, however, was dissolved in May last, so that tho ’petitioners cannot fairly plead want of notice. - I may add that tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, with a proper regard to the feelings of the public, have authorised Councils to remove their important branch on Broad street and, Olive at any time.

When it was finished, Mr. Mullins again arose, and ob jected to counting tho vote of Louisiana. Mr. Wade had the rule read providing for the conn ting of the votes, which requires that' ifae’Senate'.shall Withdraw and determine; ’with out debate, whether such State! shall be counted.

Mr. Butler (Masß.) objected to the counting of the vote of that State, and submitted his reasons in writing.
