Esq. inllB2trp* TUE VINE ARTS. Foglia " Nine uses " still bum a great popular and modal attraction at Earley' Gal- ReaCti's picture of " Sheridan'e Ride" is be ing very successfully exploited at the Academy of Fine Arts •by Mr. Pugh. The visitors last week averaged betwoen four and live hundred per day. As the exhibition in cludes the mused of the Academy, a whole class of our popillation who never attend the exhibitions proper were introduced to the col lection. A large lot of catalogues was of in two days, and the edition exhausted. I The subscription' for the chromo-lithograph of " kiheridan's Ride" progresses as actively as could be expected. The combined Haseltine and Bailey collet. tions, exhibited at Mr..Haseltine's mows, pre paratory to their auction sale, form one of the most attractive exhibitions,—and in all pro bahility decidedly the most attractive free exhibition,---ever opened in - the city. The best pictures are of cabinet , size, suitable to form the ornaments of a parlor. Of this char acter are the gems in the small North gallery, among which our connoisseurs, with watering mouths, are now daily wandering around and trying to make a choice. There will probably be a tight competition for the small Spanish character-picture by Ferrendez, entitled "El fkicado de Cardenalo "; it is a velvety Piece of painting, a 16Tc-scene - Of two figures. Desgoffe, the best artist 'of still-life in the world, is represented by a splendid onyx cup and a flower; Schreyer by Arab Scouts, a small study; Ceram!, a nurse, holding a slim and graceful girl by the skirt; 7.amacols, a single figure of a man; Herhsthof fer, the Gipsy in the guard-room, and a single 11gm e P !wan , Cavalier, , kick view, conduct.. jug a lady in a country scene; Meyer von Bremen, a sewing-girl.; the best expression 01 this artist we recollect; the above are all first of their class, and are enumerated simply to give an idea of the wealth of a gallery in which they occupy but a corner. flarnisch, the young Philadelphia sculptor, • . _ ; is now settled in ltome,where hilt engagement, ! will keep him profitably fixed this summer• I His portrait-statue of Mr. Mullen thephilan- I thropist and prison visitor, is beiug , pointed in ; ( 'a mars marble, of the dimensions of life. Mr. i Barnisch, after a tour in Germany, where be i examined the works of art under very advan tageons",eirettnistances, opened studio for the ! first time in the Eternal City, with some work I ettgaged in Philadelphia , awl yarrows new a midnies and. inventions. ne has sent borne a model sketch of the proposed Htunboldt mon ument for Fairmount Park. the foundation of which was laid last September. This model has now been deposited in the room of the German Society, 2.4 South Seventh street, where it ' enters into competition with two or three other designs which have ' been furnished, Mr. Harmsch's model consists of a portrait t•tatue' with accessories, elevated on a base or pedestal of a general cubical form, with the proper cap and surbase. The chief feature is the statue of Humboldt, which is simple and realistic, and has been prepared after inspect ing many portraits of the philosopher in his own country, and conversing with those who have Leen familiar with litsperson. These oppertunities have given Mr. HarnisCh de cided advantages over competitors who have simply elaborated in America their idea of the ' great interpreter of the Holmes. The figure of Humboldt in Mr. Harniseh's sketch repre• rests an acute-looking man, with broad shoal= den.,and a weighty head thrust a little for ward, the latter having the features we know from the portraits. yet. with more of youth and briskness than are seen in the ordinary likenesses afloat. Ile balamtes easily upon the leti, leg, the right being thrust sturdily forward. The left hand holds a note-book close to thebody, while the right hand.sweetis a pencil with an oratorical gesture of demonstration. . This figure, considered as a preparatory sketch, seems .to us - full of character, awl to fulfil every retpaisite of monumental portraiture. Some accessories are introduced, building up a supporting group beneath the left 'elhow, which are good in idea, though open to artistic criticism. ilmnboldt's- studies of the celestial economy are indicated by the genius of har mony (a spirit with a lyre); b'earwg'tho Btatiy globe on its wings; and his researches in physics Ly a :.pliyiax, the emblem of mystery, who pours flowers and fruits over the earth. We should prefer to see these thoughts indicated as bas-reliefs on sonic part of the design rather than as figures in full relief vying in solidity with the practical-looking portrait-likeness of Humboldt. The design is adapted fdr either bronze or marble. In Italian stone of the best finality, the price would be ten or twelve thousand dollars, the monument to be eigh teen feet high. We hope that material will be adopted, as bronze in a public garden looks unpleasant, except when relieved against the sky. Better Stattownotutes. Editor of the Evening Bulletin--Sm The present condition of the station-houses and • police quarters of Philadelphia is a disgrace to the city. Uncleanly, ill-ventilated, incon veuient, and prejudicial to the health of the prisoners and officers, they are unworthy of a town of 5,000 inhabitants,let alone a great city like our own. Ii her station-houses this city, we believe, is behind every important city in the country. A large number of our station - houses were originally pri vate dwellings, which have been bought and altered by the city, from time to time, and which never were adapted to their purpose, and never can be, by reason of their construc tion. The police and magisterial business 'of the city requires commodious, comfortable, clean an 4 well-ventilated buildings, and it is to be hoped that the city government will have its attention called to a matter that di rectly concernsit, as well as the reputation of Philadelphia. • Respectfully, March 7, 1.870. T. F. • ....._ THE COAL REGIONS. Another Murder. The Pottsville Miners' Journal says: At Eastwick Colliery, Shamokin, two men were left on watch on •last Friday night, oc cupying a small house erected for' their con venience. During the evening some person or persons came to the door and demanded admission, which was refused, and the door held fast. 'Finding that the men on the inside were determined not to open, those outside commenced firing through the door, which was of thin boards, with revolvers. One of the watchmen, named Buchanan; was shot and instantly killed, and his companion was shot through the ear. The perpetrators of the bloody deed are unknown, and the whole af fair is still enveloped in mystery. —The flakes cave down quietly yesterday, but many a fellow knew what it was to have the snow ball in his ear. DISTRESS AMONG THE POOR. ft The Needs of Some of Oar Pa tri ft Charities The Union Benevolent Association, Howard Sunday School, Charity Hospital, &o. A FEW . CASE'S AS ILLUSTRATION App'ersl 1.6 the Rich and Benevolent It is from no desire to awaken mere sensa tional interest, but with the Lori that the more earnest and thoughtful of our readers may be aroused to increased activity, that we ask attention to matters so urgent, and appealing so directly to the responsibility of each one of us, that indifference- would be indeed culpable. The Buten Benevolent Association. several weeks since the 13unr,Erris - gave notice to an appeal of the Union Benevolent Association, published by nearly all the daily newspapers, in which the fullest statements concerning cases of extreme destitution and suffering were accompanied with an announce ment that the means of relief were nearly us exhated, and that in:the heart of this city persons were perishing from starvation and exposure. This appeal was not unheeded, and most welcome assistance has been rendered. Still, however, the need is pressing. it is stated that the suffering among tire better classes of the poor has this winter exceeded that of any year since 1854, and all are urged anew to con tribute everything within their power to r e - Here the prevailing distress. The Howard Sunday School. • From. the missionary department of the Howard Sunday School comes another appeal. We are told that want and misery have in creased among the poor of the southern part the city, and that if our citizens could but " be induced to visit the abodes of suffering, : 7 1eknes.s and destitution,"relief would be forth- Coming. The Charity Hospital. Again, we learn that the excellent work of the Charity Hospital is now partly paralyzed for want of help, and that, in this time of unu sual distress, seine of the wards have been closed. It would almost appear to be a melancholy truth that in proportion to the increasing de votion of the community to money getting, and while a superabundance accumulates in the hands of the few, poverty and wretched nem become more widely extended, and the usual sources of relief fail. We have heretofore flattered ourselves, per haps too greatly, that whatever might be .the ' condition of the poorer classes in over crowded European cities; our country atlea.st never neglected the sufferings of the deserv ing poor. There is a popular belief that the municipal provisions prevent the possibiNy of actualmisery ; and many ask,apologetically, with Scrooge, "Are there no prisons?—are there,no workhouses:" home Particular Copses Of Distress. Genuine suffering shfinks from observation; and though when walking the. streets by ,day or night, we may perceive few or none of those distressing public spectacles which for eign cities afford, let us ntt delude ourselves with the fancy • that the wretchedness we might easily seek and relieve is less real or less intense because not openly exhibited.. It is true that the verdict " death by start " has seldom startled ns, but we may well con sider, without delay, the facts presented. The lint-mentioned appeal tells us of "a family living in a good house, on Sixth street who had not tasted food for 48 hours. A manager received a note written in a beautiful female hand, appealing for aid to keep her family of little children from starving and freezing. The call was obeyed, but in the meantime the husband and father had - attempted suicide in despair at • :,ceing his fluidly suffering without the means to relieve them. A family of four little chil dren were foundin fearful state of suffering. Their mother lay dead on an old carpet on the floor. A young woman of refined appearance, pale and emaciated with consumption, was discovered by a citizen in au attic on Willow street, apparently dying, without fire, food or attendance." In th e annual report of the Association many other cases are enumerated. An instance is presented of the relief of a family, consisting of a 'father eighty-five year 7 of age, sick and infirm; his daughter, with a hitsband also• in ill health, and four small Children. These had exhausted their last mouthful of food before the visitor called When from the diminished fund a dollar was tendered, the woman exclaimed, with tears: ,‘ I know my Heavenly Father sent yOtt. I knew He would come to our aid in some way. I was asking Him for bread when your knock came upon my door." An Appeal for Help. Many regard the imposition generally-Ora& ticed as a justification of an unconscious heart lessness, which they characterize as judicious caution; and others endeavor to assure them selves that the suffering so often spoken of must be greatly overrated, and that in authen- ticated instances of actual want—if worthy persons were really dying from cold and star- cation, in the agonies of unregarded sickness —they would at least temporarily forego some accustomed and little-cared-for pleasure; to relieve such inconceivahle misery. Mean while, almost on the way from home to the house of worship—within one-half the distance which we traverse with ease to reach the place of amusement—some forsaken soul returns to its Creator, under a roof which shelters nothing but human woe. None can longer excuse themselves with the plea that it is impossible to distinguish between the deserving and impostors. We are asked simply to contribute that which is in our power, however trifling, depending upon those nobler men and women Who devote their leisure hours to personal investigation of these cases and to their relief, for the proper distribution of our aims. Let none hesitate on account of too limited ahility. The more half-dollar, thrown away upon a Scarcely remembered trifle, will be welcome Mooed, and the cast-olf garments— the torn 411111 unused bout-clothing—may yet be made invalUable. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. the Prince of Walea on the Witness . Stand. The Prince of Wales entered the witness box in the Mordaunt case on the 23d. After he bad been .sworn. - the Judged Lord Pen zance, said : Before Dr. Deane asks his Royal Highness any questions, it is my duty to point out to his Roval Highness his position under, the act of Parliament passed last session. It provides that no witness in any proceeding,, whether a party to the suit or not, shall be liable to be asked, or be bound to answer, any question tending to show that he or she has been guilty of adultery. Now, from the course which the ease - has taken I .think it right to point this out to his Royal Highness, and to toll him he is not bound or required by law to submit to any interrogations on that subject. Hle Royal Highness wasthen examined by Dr. Deane as follows : • • I believe your Royal Highness has for some time been acquainted with the' Moncreitle family? I have. ' . • . Were you acquainted with Lady Mordaunt before her marriage? I was. On her marriage did your. Royal Highness write to her and make her some wedding present? I did. previous , to her marriage had she visited at Marlborough House when your Royal -High ness and the Princess of Wales, were there? She -bad. And has she gone to ,the theatre with your Royal Highness.? She has. We are told that she wag married at the and if 1866. In 1867 did you see much of her? I did. And in the year 1868? I did also. Were you acquainted with t3ir Charles Mor daunt? I was. Have you frequently met him? I have. And with Lady Mordatint ? With Lady Mordannt. Your Royal Highnesi knows Htirlingliam ? I do. Have you been in the habit of meeting Sir Charles there?. I have, On one Occasion, I tbinkin Juno; 1868, there was a pigeon match between Warwickshire and Norfolk ? There was. I believe your Royal Highness and Sir Charles were captains for each county? 'I be lieve so. Was Lady Mordaunt there? She was. With her husband? With her husband. Does your Royal Highness remember the, date? I think it was about June, Did Lady- Mordamit score for one side? For both sides, I think. And in the course of that match did you speak to . Lady Mordaunt at times when Sir Charles was by? I believe so. We have heard in the course of this case that your Royal Highness uses Hansom cabs occasionally. Ido not. know whether it is so? It is so. Dr. Deane—l have only one more question to trouble your Royal Highness with. Has there ever been any improper familiarity or criminal act between yourself and Lady Mor daunt?. • Ilis Royal Highness (in a very firm tonej— ' There has not. There was here a burst of applause, which was at once suppressed. Mr. Seileaut have no' question to ask his Royal Highness. The Prince then bowed to his lordship and retired, amid another attempt at applause, which was, as before,,promptlysnppressed. Sir Frederick Johnstone received a similar Caution , from Lord Penzance to that given to the Prince of Wales. He said : I have known Lady Mordaunt from a child. I have kept up on acquaintance with her. I often visited Walton Hall. In 186'3 I. dined at the Alexan dra Hotel with Lady Mordaunt.' I left there at 12 o'clock at night. We sat in the sitting- - room. No improper familiarity criminal act took Place between us. Remarking en the evidence of the Prince, the London limes concludes an article as fol lows: The truth is that the Prince has been for some time acquainted with the Monereille family. The acquaintance with Lady Mor daunt, existed before her marriage, and the Prince,_ as a friend and Highland neighbor, made her a wedding , present on that occasion. Before that time, Miss Moncreitle had visited at Marlborough House, and had accompanied the Prince and Princess to the theatre. The acquaintance was maintained subse quently to. the marriage; as the letters have shown, and little secret was the intimacy that upon one occasion, when a pigeon match, was shot between Norfolk and Warwickshire, and the Prince and Sir Charles Mordaunt were the Captains of their respective. counties, Lady Mordaunt wag on the ground, keeping the score for both sides, and chatting . now with one Captain and now with the other. The unhesitating denial bythe Prince of the categorical question put to him completes the picture. If we do not refer to the evidence of Sir Frederick Johnstone it is because he is a party to the etittse which is stills/Oft/dice. The case of His Royal Highness stands by itself, It is evident that the Prinee's error was simply this—that he had.been too careless of his reputation. He had acted as a young man who does not understand the passion too many have for scandal, and had given occasion to miscon struction through simple heedlessness. It is, indeed, not easy for the young, even ` , though they may be next the crown.to remember and guard against " the ilercelight that beats upon the throne." Those who know Mario Antoinette 'as we have now the power of knowing her, through all the relations of her checkered life' know how baseless are the calumnies which were persistently heaped upon her name when liv ing ; brit she.--gay, brilliant, charming, the radiant vision treasured in Burke's memory— reeked nothing of the malice of the base, and her indiscretion accelerated at least the catas trophe which caused her own unhappy death and the destruction of the French kingdom. The Prince of Wales has learnt,by a painful experience, how watchfully he must walk whose life is the property and the study of the world. If royalty has many priVileges, it must sutler not a few privations, and the charm of personal intimacy is one that must be almost denied to the inheritors of crowns. The Prince has .had, indeed, before him t the pattern . of: a life; not surely devoid of inno cent pleasures, yet so carefully regulated that it wa, in the eyes of all men, dedicated to do mestic purity: The.life of the Prince Consort was marked by the nicest regard to the conditions under which it has passed. Everyone will remember the rules of seelar conduct the Prince pre scribed for himself, and how faithfully they were observed. We do not doubt that the future years of the Heir Apparent will show, by theirli lefty to this example. the halftone° of the lesson tie has to learn, and that English men will see exemplified in their King that is to boa life purified from the semblance oven of levity.

Embezzles eier $30,000,10 Diontbai and then Kseapes to Europe. The Tribune says : • , For some four years past an Englishman named John A. Phillips, who is 28 yeara'old, .and•came to this country from the Isle of Bar badoes'about the time the war broke .out, has been employed in the Internal Revenue office of We Fifth Distriet,at No. XiB Broome street, nearthelkiwery. When John Melfarg in April last succeeded Lewis J, Kirk ,as tor in this District, Phillips was'First Deputy, and was so well recommended as a valuable and trustworthy officer that be • was'. retained without question in that responsible position. No one in New York suspected Phillips of any, misconduct, but in Washington it, began to be noticed that monthly rejlort No: 76 failed to come from the Fifth District, and Upon in vestigation it was found that something was seriously amiss with Collector MeHarg's stamp aceount. Word was quietly sent to Super visor Dutcher; about two weeks ago, to ex amine anAreport upon the account in ques tion. This was done, and last week (Monday) Collector McHarg re ceived a telegram summoning him to Washington without delay. • Phillips, who knew of this telegram, speculated with the utmost 'none/la/once on the probable nature of the business, and with inimitable sangfroid expressed a fear that something was wrong with the stamp account. Collector MCHarg went immediately.to Washington, saw Com missioner Delano, and returned on Wednes day with a heavybeart. The same morning; Phillips, on hie way down town, called at Mr. McHarg's residence on Unionsquare,inquired if he had returned yet, and expressed solici tude lest the journey should make him ill. From there he went to the ottice, and. then, early in the afternoon, back to his house in West Forty-fifth street. Here he gave his wife C.:50, and told her ho was going to Wash ington for a few days. With two v alis es an d a trunk, and a box of cigars under each arm, he left the house in a strange carriage, and in less than an hour stood on the deck of the Idaho, bound far Liverpool, deliberately and cruelly leaving behind him the young and un fortunate mother of his unborn child. One of Phillips's acquaintances saw him on the Idaho, and through this gentleman the first news of Phillips's departure reached his' wife on Saturday morning. In the meanwhile, Supervisor Dutcher and his chief clerk had spent the whole of Thurs day night in examining Phillips's accounts, and the next day, on complaint of Collector Meflarg, Commisaioner Betts issued a war rant for the arrest of Phillips on a charge of having embezzled over S.:30.000, and altered or suppressed revenue report:s•Nos. 51 and 76 to conceal his crime. But the daring offender was already beyond reach, and of course could not be arrested. As nearly as can be learned, this fraud was committed on . the tin-foil tobacco wrappers, Which are stamped by the printer. The manu facturer buys an order for a certain number of these wrappers, and usually pays for them in a check, and these checks Phillips coolly pocketed and cashed ou his own account. The sum embezzled is not exactly known, but it can scarcely fall short of 1430,000, and may considerably exceed that amount. OFB. CIRCIIMLOCITEION OFFICE. A Reform Needed. •• The need of reform in the civil service system was contemplated from a new point of observation the other day in Congress. An Assistant Commissioner was asked for in one. of the Departments, and while it was admitted that the number of clerks employed in that Department was largely in • excess of tho. work to be done, it was contended that this new office was necessary in order to a more efficient management of a smaller force. It: was stated that one officer has annually asked for $lOO,OOO to pay clerks which he admits the work of his bureau do not require. Better disinies the unnecessary men and apply the sum to increase the pay of fewer men who would do the work in better time and in a more efficient manner.

Henry Ward Beecher says The brutality of breaking in apprentices in the shop is only equalled by the brutality of breaking in new students at college. Sol:ilea our colleges, which have in them young men that represent the best families in the coun try, show what brutality there is in human nature. In American society the grossest and most shameless outrages and indignities - are . perpetrated on those just entering upon col lege life er apprentice life, that appeal • to every instinct of honor in their elders. And you ought to be. ashamed of it. Every man ought to be ashamed of it. It' there manything that would make my blood boil, and fight quick, and take the side of the weak; it is such things as that. I do, not counsel yon to fight ; but if you ever. do tight, fight for those who are weaker than you are—tight for the woman ; fight for 'the child ; fight for the good old man. No matter if it is unpopular ' take the weak side., Although it may be to your disadvantage for . the hour, it will bo to your advantage in the .1 long run ; for it will make you a man. . —Considering the barren mud waste of Inde- Bpendence Common, something may be par oned to the military heroes who declare that the Penn is mightier than the sward of the "sacred soil." —Mr. Zeilin, the HOW Penh Square orator, possesses the eloquence of a New-Zeiliu-der.

THE FIE MENET' AMENDMENT. The President's. Action. - - • The precautionary delay of the Presidentin issuing his official proclamation of the ratifi cation of the Fifteenth Amendment will cern: mend itself to every friend of the measure, as wise.. In a matter involving such vast polii-- cal results, a few days, or even weeks; delay is of little consequence, compared with the per 7 , manent advantages of absolute and unques tioned regularity. 'We knoW that there is •a, • disposition,. rot-only among Northern 'Deana-. crats, but among Sbuthern politicians gener ally, to take advantage of every technical ob.: jection, and the purpose of resistance is openly, avowed itt many quarters. , It is of the' last- importance; therefore, that there should 'not be the slightest pretext for raising an Issue with which to vex the future political action 4 . of the country, so Mr as the Fifteenth Ainend-' - inept is concerned. Of the thirty States which have thus far ratified, there are fonr concerning whose Lion a legal' question will be made, althouglv we are clear that n. to neither of them is that: question well taken. If it were necessary we should be willing to. take the risk, but inn much as it is not, we prefer to avoid it.,GOA ceding that New York:was competent to with, draw, its ratification, and the action of Indiatia fo be' irregular, we still have the requisite. number of twenty-eight, counting in Texas and Georgia. • But they are not yet States,,alt though they will be in a few days. When they shall be formally and reeognizedly in the lynion,,the, last doubt will be removed; and: the President's proelarnation--which is await - ing his signature—can properly be issued; Perhaps, too, his prudent delay may serve' still another good purpose by. stifling useless debate, and thus expediting the action of Congress in admitting their Rep res e n tatives.-- Times.
