Last evening A. H. Van Buren, Esq., a pro minent- citizen of Chichgo. and a , well-known underwriter, while descending the steps of the Briggs'House, stumbled and fell some ten feet, striking his head upon the stone step, Causing a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. When taken up he -was entirely unconscious and was immediately removed to one of the parlors of the hotel. Dr. DeLaskie Miller, who was fortunately passing at time, was called in, and, finding the case serious, he requested the attendance of Dr. Edwin Powell. Subsequently Dr. Charles G. Smith, an intimate friend, was summoned, and the three physicians pronounced the case a hopeless one. Mr. Van Buren lay in an un conscious state for several hours—sinking so low >at times that life seemed extinct, and again rallying for a brief interval and breath ing regularly, though feebly, until half-past 10, _ when he died. The Chicago Board of Underwriters and the Catholic Library Association, of which bodies Mr. Van Buren was a prominent member, hold meetings this afternoon to pass resolu tionsjjf respect and to take action in regard to Mis funeral. Mr. Van Buren was born in the city of Phila delphia. His father had been an eminently successful merchant of that city, and had re , tired from business with the well-earned re spect of the community. His mother was a woman of great accomplishments and univer sally beloved. Mr. Van Buren entered Brown University at an early age, and' through his whole course held a high position as a scholar. In the famous Dorr rebellion he enlisted and for some days carried a musket in the ranks of the State troops. \Vhile in college, as ever after, Mr. Van Buren impressed every one with whom he came in contact with his quite extraordinary intellectual • power. With out being a student in the strict sense of the word, he alwayß astonished those in whose society he was thrown, by the extent of his re sources, by-tlie vigor of his reasoning and the vast store of information, on almost every pos sible subject, which he possessed. ■ Mr. Van Buren, on leaving college,-selected medicine for a profession; but, after com pleting a course of study; he never entered into'practice, but removed to Cincinnati- find' commenced the insurance business, in which he ever since remained. He came to Chicago in 1860, and his career in this city has been a marked success. / - When the war broke out Mr. Van > Buren entered the- army, and became the Adjutant of the regiment of which his’ intimate triend, . Gen.BoonierwasColonel.Hewasalsofpratime Adjutant at Camp Dougins, in this city. After the war was overlie resumed his former busi ness, and was appointed Secretary of the Board of Underwriters, a position whioh he tilled with marked ability. Indeed no man could be more familiar with the insurance,busi ness both in principle and detail, than was Mr. ' Van Buren. He entered into it with the en thusiasm which he ’ always brought to every subject his rigorous mind grappled with, ana completely mastered it in every branch. His ability was universally recognized, and he left the Board of Underwriters to form q, very ad vantageous and lucrative connection with the llrm of S. M. Morse & Co. • On the Ist of July last, he virtually retired ••/wJWBI *»s«, r .««-'»<• eweafsjjrftai Bf>» 4 *afti_»'> •*' »» shi* -i ’-'i-, ..'..... ■ JW® ®pa| pmfctm irom business.

To those who. knew him it is inexpressibly sad that such • a calamity .should have come at such a time. It is.one of those inexplicable events which the huhian mind seeks' in vain to explain. It fills ithe hearts of his numerous friends in this city with profoundest sorrow. -.-,:.."7* \ The sole surviving members of Mr. Van Burcn’s immediate family are Dr; Van Buren, the eminent surgeon, of .New York, and Tlios.

The dry goods deal ersare not alone in their poverty;' this scarcity of money extends to all trades and all classes, so that the look-out for the new loan is not very encouraging. ~ - On thelTth insL, one of the members of the first company of liijeros volunteer battalion, became involved in a street quarrel-in this city with an unarmed mulatto,whom he bravely as sassinated. As usual the murderer goes un shipped of justice. On the same day a party of 200 patriots, un der the command of Leverino Ramos, attacked the plantations of Santa Rosa and Dalores, on the outskirts of this city, and succeeded in carrying oil'a large quantity of provisions and military stores. The insurrection in Cinco Villas and Santa Spiritos is gaining in strength everyday. The leader, Honorato del Castillo, has burned several plantations belonging to the enemy. Colonel Acosta y Alliear is here in Havana, endeavoring to raise a new regiment. This will make the third which he has commanded since the war began; having lost every soul of liis other two commands either in battle or by disease. . From Puerto Principe we have the glorious news that General Puello has been again de feated, and that his son has joined the insurgents against him. ' General Figueredo wifi* 0,000 men and General Jordan with 4,000 mOn made a joint attack on General de la Torre, near Santiago de Cuba, a few days ago, and utterly routed liis army and tools him prisoner. One report says that Figueredo has had him shot, while another states that he is still in prison. The Spanish papers have,, a despatch this morning, which says that the patriot General Donato y Marmol is marching at the head of 2,000 men on Santo Spirito, with the intention of attacking the city. An expedition of 1,000 men have, effected' a successful landing at Bahia Honda, a small town On the north of Cuba, despite the efforts of a small fort in that place, which opened Are on the steamer which earned them. The last heard of them they had arrived safely in the jurisdiction of Santiago. _The Captain-General has issued an order requiring that, from August 1, the merchants of Havana shall go to the Custom House in jierson, for their goods. This has been ren dered necessary by the alarming increase of smuggling in this vicinity. ' - It lias been raining a great deal here lately, and the consequent sickness is killing offlarge numbers of the Spanish troops. - • - Admission of Visitors to the French legis lative Chnmber. ' Our readers are perhaps aware that a certain, number of tickets for the Legislative Chamber are delivered gratuitously by the concierge of the building to persons who call for them .early in the morning. These cards, twenty-five in number* serve for those persons only who can be admitted into the public tribunes; and this arrangement has been made in order to pre vent confusion at the opening of the doors. These tickets have become the object of a sort ofpetty traffic, which is freely carried on in the ap proaches to the legislative palace, just ids it is at' the doors of the theatres. Their price, which is subject to daily variations, may be considered PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 31,1869. as tbe exact gauge of the interest taken by #be public, in the sitting.' The following are some curious details on the subject: On the opening day of tbe present session the admissions were sold as high as 80 francs each, but the next day they fell to half (hat amount;,, Since then the figure has stood between 7 and, .10 francs. •During tjie last session they were sold at from 2 francs to 8 francs 00 centimes. The price only rose slightly at the time of the debates on works of the city of Paris. There are-but four or five dealers, and on the days of sitting they may be seen loitering on the Quay d’Oirsay and Pont de la Concorde. They do not, as may be imagined, offer their wares to .the first comer. A certain tact and astuteness-is necessary for this trade, qualities which 'are possessed by. the parties in question. The cards of. admission to the Chamber haxe their petite bourse, held at daybreak before the gate of the building. An estimate is there made of the greater or smaller amount of interest that the sitting is likely to present, am the price of the tickets varies in consequence. Most of them are monopolized by speculators who sell them again in tbe course of tbe day, and generally make a profit of 5 francs of 0 francs, and sonietimes more. —Paris Presse. “ The Nation ” in its Fifth Yeah. —With the beginning of tbe present month Tuff Na tion commenced its ninth volume. Its only rival in tbe peculiar field which it occupies has been The Bound Table; which lately, by in corporation with a newspaper, has lost its old character, and withdraws from competition. The Nation remains upon the ground our only political and literary review of the first class. That its intellectual quality is as high as (hat; Of any similar journal any where is obvious upon familiarity with it and with the hebdominal literature of Europe. The writers for The Nation, besides Mr. E. L. Godkin, the editor, a man who contem- ■ plates American politics as philosophically as any publicist among as, are scholars high in staff oh and finished in culture all over the East anil 'West, many being; college professors trained in the specialises which they develop for the paper ; most of our best literary men have contributed to the Nation. Consider ing how many assistants go to make it up, the uniformity of tone and accent in the The Na tion is remarkable. Its individuality is very marked; and a ’clipping in any of our daily sheets, if distinguisnedoy perfect' expression - and an air of imperturbability, cool justice,and fatigue, is sure to have ‘■'■Nation" in italics at the end of it. politics realize an independence and superiority to party quite unique, anilMt has dealt some of the keenest cuts ever received by the Republi cans, whose views it approves in the main. Lack of passion is its'great virtue and defect, and its sober cynicism, though withering when it rebukes the sinner, is not-, adapted to kindle public opinion.' Compared with the height of calm to which The. Nation attains, the Saturday Recieiv, in its dances of rage against our own country,, and in its female, spite against a certain indispensable sex—and the Athenmim, in its gushing sympa thies with some poets and romancers,—-often seem very insular and juvenile. If we con tinue the comparison between the American weekly and the English journals which are evidently its prototypes, we find that The Nation devotes no criticism to the drama, though there is doubtless more genius ou the American stage than on the British; nor to music, a want which compelled it to face the Boston Jubilee, for instance, unprepared, . and to make, in treating of that experiment, one of its few lapses from gravity. and good style. As music is tbe only fine art that can be developed on equal terms by a country without museums, galleries, &c., The Nation could probably do good by encouraging edu cation in this direction. Science is not to be considered within its vocation. “Tainting and Sculpture, in the present revolting stattTol" American art and art-opinion,it perhaps wisely leaves. Still these omissions are Sensible vacancies in the plan of the journal. For the literary parti of the N ation we have nothing but praise. I The book»criticisins are the result of | wonderful industry, acumen and appreciative sense: we know no weekly, in any country, nearly so good in its perform ance of tliis duty. The prophetic column ,-in Which the news of literature is anticipated by collating the announcements of publishers, is a novelty, and is admirably well managed “An author preparing a book will find his work, before its appearance, skilfully weighed and estimated, from whatever criterion may be lirfnished by bis literary history, or by the pre vious treatment of his subject by others. It thus often oddly 'happens, by the by, that a book will be criticised with great sagacity before it is published, and perhaps before it is written, while books actually issued are passed without a word; for not more than about a quarter of the publications acknowl edged in The Nation’s lists lire or can be ex amined by the reviewer. The editor of The Nation, all his circumstances and difficulties considered, is certainly to be highly praised for keeping up a publication that is a model of good, quiet English, that is absolutely un conscious of fear in its political criticism, anil that gives us the latest news of thought and its expression in contemporary literature. f For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.} A Paid Fire Department. • One of the very worst features; of the pre sent Volunteer Fire Department of Philadel phia is its demoralizing effect upon a very large portion of the youth of our city—a sub ject upon which the supporters of the system are singularly reticent, though it is a fact the older members of the department are aware of, and wiH admit in a close argument. We desire to call special attention to the fact—the result of investigation—that one-half of the members of the present fire organization of the city are young,men, a large number of them scarcely twenty-three years of age. From being runners from the tender age of twelve and fifteen with their favorite compa nies, they, at twenty, become members, and are thus initiated at an early age into a system of running to fires, engine-house lounging, loss of sleep, drinking, card-playing, and pro fanity, that fits them for lives of dishonesty and worthlessness, and from whose ranks graduate the Quarter Sessions’ criminal and vagabond, ,• That there are many worthy men members of the Department we all admit. That there are many of the kind above referred to, we think will be admitted" also. We have within -a few squares of our residence an engine : house in whose upper rooms the above festiv ities are nightly enacted by a crowd of youths, to the annoyance of the neighborhood. We will not touch upon the other points of the necessity of a Paid'Fire Department in Phila delphia—the fact that in London, Paris, and all the European capitals the Volunteer De partment is unknown; that it has passed out of existence in nearly every large cjty of the United States, ana that . Philadelphia , alone supports the effete system, at a vast annual ex pense; but we .wish this point—the demoraliz ing effects of the Volunteer Fire Department 1 upon the youtli ofthe city, and Its bearings and ! influences—to be impressed upon the mlndrf : of Councils; thht .the time may be hastened— which wilt come—when the present system ot OUR WHOIi® COUNTRY.

A Singular Coincidence. —Among the witnesses summoned in the contested election case during this week was one James A. Wat son,of Germantown, who had been a sort 6f a professional voucher for aliens in the Supreme Court last fall. The subpoena was served by Mr. Waterhouse, Constable of the 'Twenty •econd Ward, hut when Watson’s name was -■ called by the Examiners he did not put in an appearance, and it was necessary to get an attachment for him. The only Judge in the .city is Judge Peirce, who is residing ati Mt. Airy at present. The proof of the ser vice of the subpeena 'was made be fore the Examiners,:, and. was taken out by Tipstaff Waterhouse, who arrived at Judge Peirce's residence just as that gentleman had .returned from a drive. The case was stated, the Judge dismissed the' carriage,, and then signed the attachment. Armed with the doc ument, TipstatTWaterhouse went to the house of Watson this morning, and upon being con fronted with that individual, recognized him as the man who had been driving the carriage for Judge Peirce at the time he signed the at tachment. • Music at Fairmount. —The concerts at Fairmount Park, by Dr. W.* P.
