Who, among his old frieDds in San Francisco, can fully realize that Jim Quinn, that used to be, is now and was the Earl of Dunnraven ? ■ On this hint the Timet speaks ot Mr. Quinn, as *°Tbe strange freak of fortune narrated in our Washington correspondence, brings to the memory of many an old Californian the lucky kombre] who, after long years of the vicissitudes of life on the Pacific coast, has turned up the heir to tho Earldom of Dunnraven and the master ot a splendid estate; tho peer of the landed gentry ot Ireland, and an Important accession to the brilli ant circles of Hibernian nobility. James M. Q ni ““ is a native of Charleston, 8. C., and of Irish ancestry. He came to California In early days, and was particularly known at ono Ume as pro prietor of the “Willows,” a favorito resort after ward absorbed In tbe rash of events. Falling in that, he went to Portland.

About three years ago, becoming convinced that San Fran cisco was no longer tho adventurer s elys ora that It bad been in the more primitive days ot E Dorado, and being troubled, wilbal, by a chronic impecnnioslty— unfortunately too frequent among “forty-niners”—Mr. Quinn went to New York, found his way thence to his Southern birthplace, and there learned the agreeable faci that he was an Earl and a rich man. No doubt the new-made nobleman will support his honors with due dignity, and with no w and then a pleasant reminiscence of his political expe riences at Sacramento, and a glance generally at plebeian life on the shores of the Pacific. OLD JOBS BROWN. How his Soul has been Maicbliis On. A correspondent—H. W. C.—-of the Chicago Journal, writing from Harper’s Ferry, sends the following verv interesting aeconnt of the present condition of John Brown’s place of execution: Here, at the Ferry, all the United States Ar mory buildings ore in ruins, and the whole place looks dilapidated. The old engine house that John Browß so nobly defended still stands seem ingly in mourning, and a monument of tbo old hero’s daring deeds. From here ho was carried to Charlestown, and we pass ovor to look. Here 1b his jail, now all in ruinß, save the broken walls; near by is the Court-house, where he was tried. The rooi is torn off, and the inßide all, or nearly all, gone. Here they stand, monuments of wrath. Just over the hills ts the field where he was executed. Belie hunters have carried off, in pieces, the gal lows and oil the wood near. Here our Boldiers tramped through the town singing “John Brown s Soul is Marching On,” and made the very spot where he was executed a favorite camping ground. Tbns was verified his prediction, when on the scaffold, ‘ I see many soldiers here to day, but, ere long, there will be many moro sol- Lee, who came to take John Brown, Is known. He sunk from honor to dishonor in his country’s history. From a leader in the slave holder’s war, he 101 l to the condition of a paroled prisoner, and is ever to live under the reproach of a rebel. Wise,the Governor, has been ‘hunted iiirft a partridge upon the mountains,* his boq was filain and hiflhouse was long ago made a freedmen’sschool-house. A. J. has given bicfe to him his house, where, in solitude he now medi ates, perhaps to grow wiser. “Masson, ot Vir ginia,’’ who was so active and r.oalpuß for Brown’s execution, has become a fugitive from his country, and a wanderer in foreign lands. Should he be pardoned and return to his home alas! where Is It? I saw its mins to-day at Win chester—nay,its utter desolation; for there our soldiers left a broken heap of stones, on which 'Mason may sit and mourn. The lawyers, and judges, and jurors engaged in convicting Brown of murder all have desolated homes, and lastly I mention the executioner, who reoently died at Charlestown. Oq his dying bed he bald John Brown's spirit was haunting him—he saw it—aDd died In great agony of The Independent, of New York, predicted hf they hung John Brown they would hang slavery with him.” Behold bow quickly it was verified. How mysterious are God’s providences, yet how manifest. While we cannot approve of all that John Brown did, yet let us not shut our eyes to history and facts. , , . . His “soul Is now marching on in thy? treecl men schools hereabouts which are being suc cessfully kept in each of those towns by the Freewill BaptUts—that Church which has ever stood steadfast for lreedom. Hero at the Ferry they have a chartered college started, Though, ns yet, in Its infancy, it promises well. Congress has lately given them the grounds on these heights, and several lanre buildings on them, ioraerly occnpied by Government officers. Here they are gathering the blacks from the region round about, to educate them, and be educators to their race. Burely, that soul is still “march ing on,” no longer in war and emancipation, bat in the elevation and Christianizing of the colored race. _ _ TbflCasc of James Grant, Indicted lor the murder o* 11. Hires Pollard. IFrom the Richmond Whig, Fob. 18 1 In Judge Burnham's court, yeßterdav, tho ar gument was concluded on the motion of the At torney for the Commonwealth to commit the ac cused to jail until the time ferhis trial,next Mon- Ould, one of his counsel, opposed tho motion with great earnestness. His client, he aald, had appeared in court promptly, and put iuSis plea to the indictment, and had not evinced the slightest disposition to shirk the fullest investigation of the charges alleged against him. It is the object of hail to assure the at tendance of a party accused of crime, and If It be necessary to increase the amount in order to | render the attendance of the accused more certain, the court could increase the ball to any sum deemed suffi clent and it would be giveu. Something had been said by the opposing counsel about the presence of money in this case. Tho only evi dence, however, of this being the case is found in the fact that a gentleman has been em ployed to prosecute the accused, while the Com monwealth has a paid officer whose duty it is to attend to Its interests. Mr Bundy, Attorney for the Commonwealth, conlendtd that under the Btatuto, bail is not al lowable, and that the case, now that the accused hasbetn indicted for deliberate murder, presents ] a different aspect from what it did before the Mayor when he balled him. Ho cited tho eases of Sickles, who killed Key, General Coles, who {tilled Hiscock, and Dr. Webßter. who killed Parkman, to skow that neither their position, wealth nor the circumstances surrounding their caeca were sufficient to ..secure them ball. The statutes governing ball in the States of Massachu setts and New York are very tdinilar to that of Virginia, and all are based upon the common law doctrines of England. He reminded the Court fhat the eyes of the entire people of this country are upon H and would criticise Its action in this C *Mr. Gilmer explained his position, and in reply; to'Judge Ould, remarked that In representing. \ihe Commonwealth inthls case he occupied tty> same Independent position which' ho everoceu pits when he appears in a case In her courts. The court reserved Its decision on the motion until this morning, and hold the aceussd to bail . os before. CITY BULLETIN. Washingtoh's Bibtiiday. —Monday will bo the anniversary of the birth of Washington. For several ycara past the day has been observed as a holiday under an act of the Legislature. All the public offices will be closed on Monday next,and, during a portion of the day, there will, no douot, be a pretty general suspension of business. It has always been usual for the military to make a demonstration in honor of the day. ima year there will be no turn out. Many of the offi cers will be abseDt from the city, attending the meeting of the officers of the Army ot the Poto mac, and some of the organizations are changing their uniforms. For Ihceo and other reasons it has been determined not to have a parade, as, under the circumstances, the display would not bo as Uncus is desirnble. „ . Mayor fox has direotod Mr. Wm. C. Winter, superintendent of the City Arsenal, to fire a sa lute of thirty-seven puns at Broad and Market streets at sunrise on Monday. Residents in that vicinity should not forget that by raising and lowering Ihe sash in their windows, tho breaking of the elbsb by concnssion will be prevented. At the Polytechnic College there will be nu ap propriate celebration in the morning. There win be music, tho reading of Washingtons Farewell Addre&p. and at) oration. , The soldiers of tho war of 1812 will hold a meeting at 10 o'clock, A.

The Democratic Association oi Pennsylvania have mode arrangements for the delivery of an oration by Hon. Tboa. A. Hendricks, of Indiana, In the Academy of Mnslc, in the evening. A, Magnificent Uniform. —The Liberty Silver Cornet Band, through the exertions of Its popu lar leader, Professor Benjamin K. McClnrg, has recently appeared In a new, magnificent and costly uniform. The coat and pants are of an indigo-blue cloth, and were made by Messrs. Wauumoker & Brown, under the direction of Mr. John R. Honghton. The coat is double-breasted, with two rows of buttons in tront, set on iu jots of thicis. The collar turns down, and Is mogm flcentlv embroidered with gold bullion; the sleeve* ore heavily braided half way up tho arm. with the best quality of gold lace. The pants hove three rows of gold lace on the outside of each leg, forming a splendid stripe. The epaulets are of the finest gold bul lion and were manufactured in Paris cxpresslv lor und by order of the BaDd. The body belt is of pure gold lace, interspersed with blue silk, and bus sword hangings attached. The cap is of thu very latest style, similar to those worn by th > famous New York Beventh Regiment, except tbo name ("Liberty Cornet Band,") which Is in silver letterß in a ribbon at tho bottom ol a handsome ornament—a half wreath, with a shield in the centre, inscribed with the letters L. C. B. in a monogram. The plumes are made of feath ers fiom tho breast ol the French cock, and are of a beautiful red. All of the articles used in getting up this splendid unitorm were either Imported or manulactared by Horst mann. Bros. & Co., under the direct supervision I of J. Howard Mtcke. The entire cost of the uni form for 18 men was upwards of $2,000, being I $] bOO mere than the cost of any uniform ever manntactnnd in the United States. The Band will accompany tho Washington Grays to Wash ing'on for ihe purpose of attending the inangu ration, and will wear the new uniform on the oc I casion. Almost a Tragedy. Leonard Deal is a butcher, and resides in the neighborhood of Fifty-sixth and Vine streets. Laßt night ho observed two men loitering about, and supposing them to be thieves, he started to arouse the neighbors by rushing down the street crying “muidcT," “thieves,” &c His son followed him. The two men mentioned happened to be Six teenth District Policemen. When they saw the two men running, oDt; apparently chasing th t I other, and uttering Buch cries, they naturally concluded that the foremost mast bo a burglar. I The officers dodged behind treeß, and when lb men passed by they were ordered to stop. N ) I attention was paid to the ordor, and tho police- I men then warned tho flying men that if they did | not come to they would be fired upon. This del I not have the desired effect. Deal continued in I his flight and his son followed close behind him. I One of the policemen then drew his revolver and tired. The ball took off the end of the thumb of the elder Deal and brought bim to a sudden atop, when mutual explanations were mode. A police man must be a novelty in that neighborhood I when citizens get bo excited at their appearance. SurrosKv Roubkby. —A tin box, each as 13 generally used for keeping money and stocks, was found on a lot east of Allegheny avenue, and east of Gunner’s Run. -The.box had beon broken open and probably rifled of its contents.

Cakei-essmess.— The reports of the Lieutenants of Police, made to the Mayor evory morning, contain accounts of numerous stores and dwell- houses found unfastened during the night b> the policemen going their rounds This shows great carelessness on the part ot some ot tha occupants of the places, and it is an inducement to robbers to commit their depredations.

A Washington correspondent in a recent letter 6ll "Senor Goni, the present able and very popu lar representative oi Spain, has opened negotia tions with the United Stuteß Government for a postal treaty on the same basis of onr treaties alreadv made with other European Powers, tine difficulty presents itself at the very threshold o this nigoiiation, and that is the difficulty el reochmg Spain except through French territory, and our postal treaty with France does not secure the right of sending through her territory closed mail bags. Senor Goni proposes to avoid mi difficulty by having the mails sent to Havana, and thehce in Spanish steamers direct to Madrid. This might offer a cheaper rate for the present, but here the question necessarily presents itseli: How long will Havana be a Spanish port. Another point of objection to the proportion of tho Spanish diplomat is, he (Ay sires that each government shall make good anv and ull losses in registered letters, as is tho cus tom now with Spain within her own dominions Congress, however, has never authorized th Post Office Department of the Uulted States to assume any such responsibility, and consequently this point will have to be abandoned by Seaor Goni. The Government here is not only favora bly disposed toward a postal treaty with Spam, but if it can be concluded on a basis similar to our treaties with the German Confederation, the wishes of Senor Goni and his Government will be gratified. ” _ Bleeding and chloroforming a Con deinncd inrimlua.l - Rome (New York) Sentinel, of the 16tv inßl., states that proceedings to remove Sberitl Weaver, of Or eiaa county, under whose dtrec ;ions the murderer Carswell was executed, arc now In progress, an Investigation bavi«g beet, ordered by the Governor, fhe charges are sub slontlally as follows : That Sheriff Weaver caused or allowed Oirs well to be bled before his execution almost b> cxhauslioD, that chloroform was afterwards ad ministered m the Sheriff’s own piesence, and that the prisoner was apparently dead when huntr. That a miscellaneous crowd of several hundred persona was ullowed to be preseal, some of whom bad appointments as deputies and others who bad not; that they hooted snow-balled each other, and misbehaved themselves otherwise in the presence! of the Sheriff, who made no endeavor to restrain them; that the protended deputies were only spectators, had nothing to do with the exe cution, and were not sworn in. That blank ap pointments as deputies in the scape■ ot cards were dislributed to individuals to be filled out at their pleasure, and were so used, and were even sold in the street; that women, children, even lit tle girls were present under circumstances which showed that the Sheri If knew, or ought to have known of It; and finally, that the whole affair was scandalous, indecent, and a mockery of justice. Anecdotes of General Grant* Anecdotes of General Grant are becoming quite the staple of talk in Washington. They all have a very sharp application. Speaking of the Tenure of Office act the other day, he made this very characterißtlc.lllustrallon : “It is no reason, bi cause you have found it necessary to put a curb bit in the mouth of one horse, that yon should try it on another." His opposition to any violent reduction of the armv, such as Ib now proposed by the amend ments belore the House, is well known. He pro poses to iednce by the process of absorption, which he recommended while Secretary of War, and which is now going on rapidly. A member of Congress was conversing with him the other day on this subject, when General Grant said: “I see you propose to reduce the army about seven-eighlhs, “Oh, no,” was the reply, only about one-half.” “Well,” said Grant, “these offl cere bave hud a right to believe that their positions were for life, or during good behavior. If they eo out there will be a great many meritorious men out of position, and I don’t see but I shall have to provide for them in the Custom Houses und the Revenue Department, If I have any offices at my disposal. ” A ttltttlieniiittcal Piodlffjr™! nlng lluJculu.tor.

He is a native of Caroline, and was formerly a slave of Dr Morrlß, of that county. In 186 ihe first Bhowed his skill at figures, but when he learned the multiplication table we are not Informed. He soon astonished the people of the neighborhood bv his remarkable quickness nt adding and sub stracting, multiplying and dividing, but only lately did the story reach Richmond. A day or two ago he was brought to town, and on Tuesday evening, in the presence of a number of gentlemen, gave an exhibition of his wonder powers. Upon first sight of the illy-clad crea ture’s grinning mouth, retreating forehead, and ever-rolling sightless eye-balls, one would be almost likely to put him down qs an idiot. But give him a “sum,” as mathematical problem, and ho pricks his cars, opens his mouth, unri shows that ho is sensible enough. 1 On the occasion referred to, every examplo propounded Ben worked out quickly and cor rectly without resorting to pencil or pen, of the use of which he is, indeed, as ignoraut as of tho use of tho camera obscuro, or oxy-hvdrogen blow-pipe. In Bcveral instances he gavo the solution before the bystanders could worlTlt out on paper. Long rows of figures (tens, hundreds, and thousands), wore retained upon his mind, and In every case cor ricily added. In substruction, though per fectly ignorant of the common arith metical nomenclature, he was equally quick; and tho same may bo said of his exercises in multiplication. Finally, he was tested in square and cube root; and in that, too, 1 showed his proficiency. A stranger askod the cube root of 117,619. In a lew moments Ben 1 promptly gave the answer, to tho astonishment of the spectators. But wo cannot go into further detail. Buna following amounts were ictlvo dates for C ty and M.
