A sort of stifling groan or heavy sigh fell upon the re porter's ears i and being directed by the sound, he followed t up, and on the sidewalk, coiled up against the wall of a house on Secondstreet, above Carpenter,, e beheld a prostrated man. "'Halloo, old fellow," exclaimed the re . porter upon making the discovery; " How came you here." " Was knocked down by a robber," replied the man, who extended his hand for help. The reporter, whose incredulity at all times was his peculiar characteristic, very guardedly took hold of the proffered hand. It was his natural desire to assist a brother in the human faintly, 'particularly one in so much distress, and yet he did not like to place himself within the power of one who might be an impostor, acting thus, as a novel ruse, to better enable ' him to commit a robbery. The two hands, however, were interlocked, and from that moment the two men, though still unknown, and undiscernible, because of the darkness, recognized each other as brothers of a friendly order. ' The reporter got the man upon his' feet, with the intention of taking him to the South wark Hall for help, that being the only place open at the time. Just about this moment the gb,re of torches cast an uncertain light upon the dense fog, but presently the illumination suddenly increased, and the reporter and his unlucky friend were surrounded by four watchmen, with torches in hand and armed with clubs. They looked like four devils, wearing " sou'wester" hats and oily overcoats. The tableau was really dramatic. " Got you at last, you," exclaimed the foremost of these terrible guardians of the night, who approached with uplifted club. "Bin robbin' all about here, hay? Seize 'em." • The oilicors'closed around and the two men -were in close custody. " Don't hurt me," exclaimed the recently prostrated man. " I'm injured already." "Sarver yer right you !—you thieves as falls out of windows must expect to be cotched sometimes." "Thieves !. We are not thieves," responded the prisoners. • " Ah, ha! we've heerd that kind of talk afore ; so come along." And along the parties proceeded without any particularly interesting developments until reaching the basement of the hall. M.r Thomas,lieutenant of the nightly watch, was on duty. The captain was'asleep in his bunk. "Two thieves" were reported to the Houten ant, who demanded the prisoners to step up to the desk, illuminated with an oil lamp, the smoke of which for years had blackened the surroundings. " Let this prisoner sit down," demanded the reporter, with an air of authority. " Come, come, no capes," (capers) replied,the nocturnal guardians. " 1 say he must it down, or lay down—are . you human or inhuman—this man is dying, and you—you are pretty officers, indeed. Lieutenant, will you come here? Lieutenant Thomas seemed to recognize the voice of the individual who thus addressed him, and moved quickly towards him. The recognition was complete, and the watchmen . were despatched at once for physicians. Three medical gentlemen responded, and the , injured prisoner was examined. He had a severe contusion on the side of his head. The small hope of his right arm was broken. Ills lip was lacerated. He was properly attended to at once, and about daylight, a carriage having been procured, he was placed therein, •in company with the reporter and the Lieu tenant of the Southwark watch, and driven to his residence, in the northwestern part of the ' city. On the night, or rather the morning in • question, he bad been paying his addresses to a young lady, now his wife, living with him .in rich magnificence in California. They had returned from a ball given at Musical ii'und ' Hall. While he was walking along Second street, above Carpenter, he was eitddectly ap proaooed by two men, one of whom struck - him on the side of his face. The assaulted Inanthrew up his right arm, and received upon it a blow, evidently intended for his head. This blow broke his arm, as above stated. He fell, and was robbed of a gold watch, a diamond • breastpin,•and pocket-book containing consi deriiple money. The attack was made unon him'about half-past two o'clock, consequently lie had lain on the pavement half an hour be fOre he was discovered by the " snapper-up of Unoneddered trifles." 011 thet#ame morning in question two houses in the vicinity were beset by burglars, who, in one instance, being surprised by the, family, sprang from peecond-story window. This wit» about twelve o'clock at night.

A public meeting was held i n the in the Hallof the Assembly Building in this city, on the 21th of January, for the purpose of determining what action should be taken on this request. 'A committee of sixteen was appointed at that meeting to devise and reconamend n pro gramme of exercises for the day. In order to give full opportunity for all CiaSSOS of our people to join in such exercises as ~ m ay be most, congenial, the Committee has resolved to extend the period for council, exhortation; in and praise throughout the entire.weelc Which the 22d occurs. • Recognizing the great truth that every moral reform must find its chief strength within within the Church, and in order the more el fectually to invoke Divine ;assistance in the beginning of this season of temperance effort, the Committee does -Most earnestly request the clergy of this city . , to preach on the sub ject of Temperance from theirse'veral pulpits, on Sunday,the 20th of February, to invitethe Christian members of their , congregattonS bless God in their songs of praise for the, greet deliverance he has vouchsafed to many weak and broken mortals in times past, and intheir prayers to plead for help •an the struggle against evil doers. 1. The Committee' recommends that the Temperance Societies of every name and class hold'open public settsions on their regular meeting . Sights during the Week beginning on the 20th inst. 2. That the officers of churches open their, rooms to the public on as many evenings as may, b' convenient during the week. 3., That a great temperance meeting be held at •Horticultural Hall, Broad street„ on the afternoon and everting of the 22d, to be ad dressed by the best talent that can be procured. 4. That the total abstinence pledge be circu lated for signatures at all the public meetings. 5. That the newspaper press of the city, dis tinguished for liberality to every good work, and for earnestness in the advocacy of every movement having for its object the enlarge ment of private virtue or the improvemedt of public morals, be requested to give due publi city to this programme and a generous sup port to the undertaking.it inaugurates.

THE MILK IN TRH COCOANUT.—Every Bap tist in Philadelphia knows of President Loomis, of Lewisburg University. Thou sands know him who are not Baptists. By a builder of this city we were this morning told a circumstance illustrative a the indomita bility of Professor Loomis's character that sets an example to every unit of the rising generation. The stipulated salary of Presi dent Loomis is but fifteen hundred dollars a year. That his heart is as deeply interested in the work as if his stipend were a million, is shown in the manner in which he has placed the institution in the front rank of our educa- tional establishments. The Baptist denomination has just erected its first church in Lewisburg. The structure has a spire, whose altitude corresponds with that of the Tabernacle. Baptist Church on Chestnut street, in this city. The roof.and spire are covered with slate. The workmen having completed the task of covering the roof de clined to do duty in slating the steeple. There were no riggers to be bad in that section of the country. President Loomis couldn't send to a ship-yard for a climber,as the BULLETIN estab lishment did when the sphere upon the Btu.- LIMN flag-mast was re gilded a year ago. The manner in which Doctor Loomis got over the difficulty was by personally perform ing the perilous task. He completed it in less than a day. The reason that he did the work bareheaded was because his hat was blown off almost at the moment that he ascended the scaffolding. The gilded ornament that caps the extreme point of the sphere, we are assured, was carved by Prof. Loomis. with a simple jack-knife. To cough down such a character is impos sible. Thesimple illustration, as above given to us, will account for the erection of a dozen universities and a score of places of worship. DIE SECOND STREET MARKET—A PROTEST k`ROM THE MERCRANTS.—Some of the mer chants on North Second street have published the following protest against the curbstone markets : "One of the most shameful" and tyrannical impositions ever forced upon any community, is now practised upon the merchants of North Second street, Philadelphia, under the passage of the act of the 17th of April, A. D. 1861, by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. It reads as I olio - Ws: " Any person whose principal business is that of a farmer, may sell from any stand in the street (located for a market stand), in such ; quantities as he may see tit, the meat of any animal which he may have slaughtered on his or her farm, regardless whether it be fatted by him or not, any ordinance that may have been passed, or hereafter may „be passed, to the contrary notwithstanding.' " This law, which is so unjust, was passed withoutthe.knoivledge or consent of any mer chant on the street. Before its passage we had two days in the week, Wednesday and Saturday, which was attended by farmers only, they occupying the street but a few hours each day. There was no act of the Le gislature, or any ordinance of the City Coun cil before the passage of this unjust faw, that gate the right to any but a farmer to occupy ths street, and he only to sell the produce of his own farm. 'But under the presumption of this last Legislative act, the hucksters„shin tiers and dealers have taken full possession of our streets four days in the week, from early morning until sundown. As they increased the farmers were driven away and forced to tind some other locality. Thoserinla,wful ven ders, living principally in the Eleventh and Seventeenth WardS,. would occupy their places before the fanmerwas able to get there. Before they , can be removed from your front you must find out their name to obtain a warrant, and then you must prove that he is not a farmer; after all this trouble, time, and expense, your customer moves a few doors up or down the street with threats and curses against you leaving room only for another of the same class. Every candid person cannot help ac knowledging that itis a great nuisance, and ought to be remedied. But the City Council has appropriated so many streets north of Market for stands for wagons, that the citizens on those streets are afraid if you move this market that you drive it into them, and they do not want another Fourth and Eleventh Wards made in their locality. • We, the merchants of North Second street, protest in the name of all that is just, against so flagrant a violation of our rights, and insist that a matter of such vital importance to the interests of the greatest thoroughfare in our city; receive the attention its merits deserve, by relieving it of the most intolerable nuisances ever foisted by legal enactment upon indignant property owners and tenants." OUTSIDE SCENES AT THE BRUNER. FIRE.— 'Before Ald. Pancoast, this morning, „ was ar raigned James Loughrey. James runs with a tire company. He Is alleged to have been tur bulent at the scene of the late fire. A remon strance by a policeman brought about the very reverse of placidity. It resulted only in a de monstration of violence. , For this he was ar rested. When searched, with a view to the confiscation of any dangerous weapon, his pockets were alleged to have been distended by several gross of buttons, of the kind used to button up the rear , portion of a Balmoral. Viewing the case in all its bearings, Aid. Pan coast concluded to bold Mr. Loughrey to await a - little ;investigation WM - his previous personal history. Ile went down.

The Officer who arrested him was assaultod by One Win. B. Day. The assault was committed with a hot briolc. Both men were Ultitaately over powered: Alderman ratieoait held each in IWO to answer at court.

As ; an offset to this, our reporter was Obi morning informed' that creditors of the tirre are placing writs of attachment upon the moneys due to the concern In theliands of the insurance companies. Two" Meetin, of the employee were held this morning The males met at, Coates street and' enntsylvania avenue. The case, its circumstances and surroundings, present a.curious illustration of adverse for- A 'FBLottious OntaTir.,--Abotit 12 o'clock last night the policeman of 'a beat beheld a man'tunning at the top of his tipped across Market street bridge. The reason., that the policeman didn't suppose him either • to have been " belated at the Lodge," or to betunning for a doctor, was because the man was in stock inged feet. At Twenty-third and Market streets, a few minutes afterwards,lthe man saw two men leisurely , walking. Each carried a boot under his arm. The policeman made a•dash for one of them. The reason that so few'arrests of the right men are , how-a days made is because of an inclination on the part of the public custodians to capture three men at a time—in other words, to hunt foxes in droves. The policeman in question pur sued but one man. The result was that he captured him. The man was this morning brought befote Alderman Jones. He was • committed to answer: The boot Is at the Sixth District Station-house. The loser is re quested to call there and explain the circum stances under which he parted company with his understandings. THE URALITIES OF THE FOURTH WART).- A colored man named Gilbert Boyce, residing at 030 Auburn street, was stabbed last evening in the left leg. Ho quarreled with a compa triot named Shadrach Davis. The affair took place at Seventh and St. Mary streets. Boyce, it is said, informed the authorities of a theft said to have beets perpetrated by a colored woman, of whom Boyce was enamored. The wound was about two inches long and half inch deep. The injured man was con veyed to the Pennsylvania Hospital by Police man Harley. The accused was arrested and taken to the'Fifth District Station-house by Oilicer O'Brian. The wound is serious. This morning was arrested on a charge of confed eracy in the offence a man known as James Brown. He was locked up. A MUNICIPAL NOTlCE.—Orders have been issued for the arrest of all persons who in future undertake to illuminate with placards or handbills the municipal 'telegraph poles. For some reason or other the brotherhood of bill-sticking have always evinced a special par tiality in the display of equivocal announce ments for the convexity of the telegraph sup ports. The " late lamented Landis," it is said, made invariable stipulation with his bill sticker that his circulars should nowhere else be pasted than upon Mr. Phillips's and others' poles. A pronunciamento—a vermilion edict —was this morning proclaimed by our vulpine friend, Mayor Fox, that any one so eclipsing the white paint upon these poles shall con dignly be consigned to quod. A Row IN A RUMM - Elilr.—Richard White and Patrick Magraw were in a drinking house early this morning. The drinking house is at Seventeenth and Callowbill streets. What caused the row our policeman informant is unable to state. What he does state is that he arrested the men while engaged in throw ing chunks of anthracite through the tavern windows. Magraw resisted arrest. He, not only did this,but also put in mourning the policeman's eft eye. Alderman Pancoast held him in $BOO bail. That of his more pacific coin anion was 'fixed at $5OO. A DECEPTIVE ROSE. - Rose Hannogan, against whom other charges are pending, was yesterday charged before Alderman Thomas, at Germantown, with the felonious appro priation of apparel from the houses of Mr. Landis and Major White, in Shoemaker lane. Rose seems to have been emulous of the hand some appearance made by several of her lady employers. To the elaborate Irish poplins and poult de soie that she seems to have been sporting, the limey of Moyamensing will pre sent a not pleasant contrast. G.Aittruicnous.—A policeman this morning captured a colored man on the track of the Chestnut Hill Railroad. He carried a bag containing nine chicken.s. The birds were of the blooded kind—Brahma Poohtras, Chitta gongs and Cochin Chinas. Policeman Bishop Is himself a fancier of - fowls. For this reason he looked upon' the larceny with especial abhorrence. In this abhorrence, Alderman Good ,very heartily shared. He rdered the African to be incarcerated, to await a further hearing. Op ITUAILY.—Isai ah H. Butler died last night, at his residence, No. 1708 S. Ninth street. • He was well known as a local Democratic politi cian. He did duty as messenger in Councils, under a Dernocratie regime, for two years. For a corresponding period he was also assistant clerk in the lower branch of the municipal legislature. His age was about forty years. - Fie wa.s a widower. " He leaves in close con sanguinity to him, only a little son. LAW AND .ALCOHOL.-1110 music of the " whisky ring " in the 11. S. Court is-about to commence. The overture will begin at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. In the opinion of the quidnuncs, the coming seance of Judge Cadwalader will be one of special and peculiar interest. The entire family of Demi Johns will await, i with palpitating interest, the re sult of the issues at present pending. THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.-A seedy-look ing customer was this morning at the Seven teenth District Station-house. Ho gives the name of Statine Bois. He talks a pure Magyar. He had in his possession a nest" of eleven Water pails. The reason he is in custody is because of a belief that the pails were stolen. They can be seen at the locality as named above. WAR 11Trox AFnicik.—James A. Laws, of Germantown, employe a, black man. In what particular capacity the African is engaged the Lieutenant failed to inform us. Before Alderman Thomas, yesterday, Mr. Lawn Was arraigned on the charge of not only knocking clown his servitor, but of drawing upon him a pistol. The amount of bail was fixed at $1,500. THE OLD STORY.—llefore Alderman Hay, this morning, David Welsh was arraigned. He was alleged to have beaten. his wife. He lives at No. 4 Hickory court, near,--Fifth4,and Callowhill streets. The poor woman is said to have been the victim of a diabolical drubbing. The accused differs from this view of the case. He entered bail in $BOO to await the action of a grand jury. QUEER, BUT Tanis.—Of tightness in the money Market even the fraternity of under takers is complaining. With business "more brisk in their line than at any period since the winter oflBs7,the "Messrs. Mould,"of Philadel phia, complain of an almost entire inability to make collections. AN oai-tkit AEREST.-A man named Robert Collins w& arrested yesterday, upon the charge. of confederacy in the robbery of Mr. George H. Lord, as already reported. He will be disposed of this afternoon by Jus tice Kerr. CArtr.t.ussmr.ss.—The Lieutenant of the Fourteenth Police District reports seven houses left open during last night.
