CIT V HULL to.'l'll4 puovisio —" Prevision steres" are rapidly nutitiplyiug all over the city. This is especi ally the cal-e in the outlying distriets; made up ih winter;of snow, and of mint - in the spring And the fall. The number of farmers visiting the city direct is not increasing. By an 'intel ligent farmer of Chester county we' AVOW this morning assured that by constant relays of them his neighborhood is now being visited by itinertudbuyer in the interest of dealers in this city, and especially in Now York. These people go from farm to farm to buy on the spot the eggs and the Mater it produces. What they are now endeavoring to do is to preengage the coming chicken crop, the,eggs, and the butter that comes 'from the first . springing grass. For choiceproduce the price to these gentry seems to be of little object. In New York there are always so many people who will fare like Dives, that the dealers are always certain of getting their price. A " butter league" in New York, where people ""move" every - year, awl where their nest, door neighbors are acquaintanceS as' distant as if they resided a Mile away, would ho as ineffectual in breaking doWn the .price of that commodity as an attempt to bombard Gibral tar with a shilling syringe: The provision store is in many elves a de cided convenience. If You pay a little more than in market—and you always do—you are pretty sure tilwaysto get the choicest of every thing.

He does also what the farmer cannot do. Ho saves the ladies from lugging their baskets. If you don't like keeping cream and beef in the same refrigeator over Saturday night in the dog-days, the gentleman will keep it for you. He will wickedly deliver it at your door in time for the spit on Sunday morning: While all this involves early rising and hard" work, the business tieerus to be a paying'one.

In the fruit and vegetable season they may be sometimes stuck, but their customers are generally a class of people who don't Visit the general markets; and what the dealer "loses on Peter he makes you compensate him when you pay for.

Should any one think so,let himrtry to get a first-class sirloin for less than twenty-eight cents a ound: Cow meat is, of course, cheaper. Lamb bait ye 111 w,;. some weeks to come. Veal is very tempting just now. What Chester and Montgomery counties can't produce in the way of veal isn't to be found this• aide: of Smithfield.. The rea son that veal is always comparatively high is beeanse so Many fanners prefer the milk to the calf. They destroy the quadrupeds from their With. The skin of such a calf is called deacon skin—it, is , the article in which are bound the books of lawyers. Chickens arc Scarce and high. When eggs are bringing 35 to 40 cents a dozen,their plumage looks as re spectithle,if not as gaudy, as that of a turkey CMCKEN DISPUTATIONS CUT SLIORT—Five men were brought up for trial in the Quarter Sessions. this inorning,on the charge of aiding and abetting a "cock light"- The assiduous agent of the - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. James Kilpatrick, was the instrumentality by which the arrest was brought about: It was made on St.• Va lentine's evening. The premises under police surveillance were a tavern; with au 'Amphi theatre in its rear. Its location is Sixth street, opposite the reservoir. Mr. Kilpatrick was furnished by his Honor the Mayor witha force of twelve men. Tlie place had evidently been carefully picketed in anticipation of the ar rival of thepolice. When the, policemen en tered they found a bar-room filled with peo ple. The " cock-pit," in the rear, is amphi theatiical in form. The officers made directly for it, and the municipal blue showed its ultra marine gorgeousness in the arena devoted to the adjustment of "chicken disputes," and to the development of superior, 'tenacity of grip in four-footed dogs. The officers found the ring empty, except that a quantity of feathers had been swept into a corner, and that the floor was spotted with blood. The ring is solid wood. The sport of chicken tights in such places is „varied by glialiotortal combats between dogs, and by experiments as to the number of rats to be killed in-a given time by a given dog. The officers found five men in the vicinity of the ring. They were taken into custody. The proprietor of the Dlace,muned Bob Chambers, was sick in bed. "The fight, if it came oft, was - witnessed by about two hundred people. The Brice of admission was a dollar a head. The names of the parties arrested -are Edward Devlin, Andrew McShane, Charles Dough erty, James Ledger and John McMullen. Itio roosters were risible. That any were found 'was because in their gallina,ceous and genic pugnacity they persisted in crowing defiance to each other even in places of con cealment. The premises seemed to be pro vided with training coops, living coops, and hospital coops. The same society some weeks ago broke up the place of Mike Johnson, in Nineteenth street. That Mike was not con vieted was because one of the jury refused to render any verdict but a verdict of " not guilty." The jury were in retirement for twenty-four hours. The understanding is that the dissenting juror protested against- an inculpatory verdict, " bekase, me boys, whin I was younger I wint to cock-fights, an' bedad how can I be after rinderin' a vardick agin a man for doiu' that I did meself, an' saw no luitrum in, norther." In the present ease, should it be closed, the result will be found under the head of our Court reports. John son was in a neighboring driukery at the time of the arrest, as chronicled above. .He is an ancient bird. The pickets had perhaps posted him.

With the disappearance; of bon nets disappeared the fat profits that formerly crowned the industry and the taste of the pro fession. Chestnut and Eighth streets are gorgeous this afternoon. Parasols, for the first time this season, Made their appearance, and furs and thick overcoats became actually burden some. The trouble is that - arch is as little to be trusted as a tricky attorney, and as yet has us completely in its power. The English spar rows, spending now their first American spring, must be puzzled, at the eccentricity and variableness of this tickle climate. POW IN A PUBLIC HOUSE-HEAD CUT. Thomas Boston and Terrence Hackenstein went into the Neptune House,No.l.o3l Locust street, yesterday afternoon. While there they got into a quarrel with some of the inmates. The latter defended themselves by throwing spittoons around promiscuously. Hacken stein was struck on the head by one of the missiles. He was severely injured, and had to be patched up by a doctor. The man was arrested for disorderly conduct.. Subsequently Policemen Townsend and Carrigan, by order of Lieutenant Campbell, made a descent on the house, and arrested all parties found therein. The prisoners were taken to the Fifth District Police Station, and gave their names as Annie Davis, Annie Hines, Carrie Martin and Maggie. Norton. The first-named is alleged to be the proprietress of the estab lishment. Alderman Morrow sent all hands to Moyamensing. AN listrosron.—A man who speaks English, German and French fluently, and professes to be a teacher of writing and languages, has lately victimized several boarding-house keep ers.. He engages board and says that he can't pay immediately as he has just secured em ployment from a job sign painter. As security for the payment of the board he passes over a check on the Commercial National Bank, drawn in his favor. The first day he borrows a small amount of money from the landlord and the second day disappears. It is then dis covered that the check is laogus. The man is supposed to be a German. He is about 40 years of age, stoutly built, and has a light moustache and goatee. BREAKING. TELEGRAPH BOXES.—The op-- raters of the Fire Alarm Telegraph at the Central Station are often annoyed by attempts made to get up alarms of fire by unauthorized persons striking the boxes. The latest attempt was made thiS morning, about a quarter past one o'clock. The alarm came from the box at Broad street and Girard avenue. Au exami nation of the box showed that the lock had been broken to pieces. A jimmy must have been used to do the work. It may be well to state, in this connection, that the penalty for interfering with telegraph boxes is five hun dred dollars'fine and two years' imprisonment. A LARGE FIINERAL.—The funeral of Then. 'Wilson took place at two o'clock this afternoon, from his late residence, Nn. 19013 Arch street, and was attended by a vast concourse of Our citizens, among whom we noticed the members of the Commercial Ex change Association, the President and Diree tore of the Commonwealth National Bank,thn members of Empire Lodge No. 104 I.

QUA /1 . 7.1:11 SUsSlONB.—Judge Allison this morning de- livered the following opinion in the case of Dr. Rosen berg : Lc the' matter of Louis R. Rosenberg, an alleged lunatic. liabf as CUlpit.S. The testimony in this case establishes, in the clearest manner, that the relator is not of sound mind, and that he is a proper subject for medical treatment fur the mental disorder with which he is afflicted. The teati-• mony of Doctors Kirk bride and Jones, of the Penney!. yenta Hospital for the Insane, is clear upon this point ; and if we add to what they hays said upon the subject the testimony of the eminent medical gentlemen who made a protracted and critical • examination of the relater for the purpose of testing his sanity or insanity, we con have no room for doubt th it it is eves y way judicious to place him under the care of those who are competent to give to helm the advantage of great experience and acknowledged skill in the treat ment of persons afflicted with mental unsound ness. Doc. Gerhard, Pepper, Ray, Fricke and Keller, gentlemen of integrity, ranking with the moat eminent in the profession of medicine is Philadelphia, agree that, upon some subjects, his mmil is in an unnatural and unhealthy condition; that the delusions are clearly mat hell ; and that it is best for the patient that he should remain where he now is, foe treatment, with a view to his restoration. Several of these gentlemen any that, in their opinion, it would lint lie safe to the community', and all agree that it would not be stile to himself, if he were allowed to go at large, free to control his own actions and to follow the inclinations of a mind off its balance, and impressed with the belief of the existence of a conspiracy to restrain him of his liberty, for the.purpose of getting wrongful possession of his property. The testimony of Doctor ititlgley establishes the fact that the relator meditated taking his own life ; asked the witness to procure poison for hint to be used ler tide 'purpose, suyine that he wished to take his life to prevent the physicians; front killing him ; asked fur prussic acid. and offered to give money an d other pro perty to the witness if he would get it for If we ate to be governed by the testitneny the conclu sion is irresistible that Doctor iloSenberg requires care. and treatment, such as he will receive in the metitution in which he bits been plaeetl—but one physician, Doctor Bascom, differing fu opinion with all the others, and admitting. that lie had not made a critical or accurate examination of the patient, It is,huwever, claimed that the relator is entitled to his discharge, because of the want of a proper legal antliorityto receive hint into the institution at the time he was taken to the Hospital by biebrother and the phy sician iii cherge of the Jewish Hospital in this city. The return to the writ asserts the presentation to Dr. Jones of a .copy of proceedings in lunacy, taken before the Judge at a Probate Court of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, under which Dr. Rosenberg was declared to ,be Wane. Dr. Jones at first refused to receive the relator. but lel-. terwards consented to his remaining in the Hospital with his brother until the necessary papers could, be obtained from Cleveland. The same day the brother heft t the city of Philadelphia,witheut notice to the offleere of the install, tion, and subsequently railed for - Europe. Under-the:so circuinetancee, and the conviction in the minds of the physicians in charge of the Hospital that Dr. Rosenberg was insane, it was deemed by them advisable to take care of him until the necessary papers were sent to them. The certificates required by the act of April, 1569 wore received on the 27th day of November last, Dr. Rose nberg having been taken to the institution on the 12th of that month. The return further sets net that Dr.Rostsit berg can then regularly entered on the books of the Hos pital as apatient; that he had been an inmatecithospiters for the insane in the Western titatesiand that the *a eon for bringing him to this city was that woof the asylums situate in the State of Ohio had been destroyed by ilre, and that the asylum at Cleyelabd was for thin reamer full, and therefore unable to receive him. That the regularly-appointed committee or guardian of Louis E. Rosenberg approved of his being pieced in the Penitneylvunla Hospital, and desires that he ehouldi lie kept where he now is. 'rho act of 20th of April.lBl9, provides, in tke first sec tion, that insane persons suay be placed In is hospital for the insane by their legal guardians, or by their relatives or friends, iu case they have no guardians ; bed never without the certificate of two or more respectable physi cians, after a personal examination ' made within One week of the date thereof; and this certificate to be duly acknowledged and eyvotn to or affirmed before Some magistrate or judicial officer, who shall certify to the geen h inenees of the siguature and to the respectability of te signers. The certificate of the physicians and of the Justice of the Peace is in strict compliance with the requirements of first section of the act of Me, but there is a AltdiC9ol defect in the application to admit Dr. Rosenberg to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Thu epplication is required to be made by the legal guardians of the alleged lunatics, or by their relat Ives and friends 4 1ri case' they have, no guardian. The act of the 17th of June, lAN, section 17, Purclon 682, declares the appointment of any cetinnittee' trustee, guardian, or the like, by any authority out of this Commonwealth, shall not authorize the person so appointed to control the Person er estate of any lunatic, or liabthnal di unhurt', resident w I thin this Common wealth, or to control the real estate, situate within this Commonwealth, of any lunatic or habitual drunkard, whether resident within this Commonwealth, or other wise. The application le signed by Adolph Rittberte, who was appointed Committee or Guardian by the Probate Court of the Mate of Ohio. Thin appointment, though good in Ohio, ie made of no effect in Pennsylvania; the act first cited says, in so many words, that such appointment shall not authorize the Committee°, to control the per eon or estate of a lunatic resident in Pennsylvania. A resident is defined to oo a person dwelling or having an abode in a place for a continuance of time, but not— definite.- An illustration given is that of opublic minis ter, who resides at a foreign court. It is entirely dis tinct front the legal signification of the term " resi dence," which implies settlement, which in contemplation of law is a question of intention. The term as applied to a lunatic brought within this Commonwealth excludes the idea of inten tion ;.for one found to be a lunatic is incapable of form ing an intention to reside anywhere, au .the settee of acquiring thereby a legal residence or settlement. It can have therefore no other meaning, as employed in the act of 1836, in its application ton person declared to he a lunatic before he emits within the Commonwealth, and wile continues to be of unsound mind, than as moaning a pertain who is living or dwelling for t he time in Penn sylvania.

A motion for a new trial was overruled, and in sentencing the defendant Judge Paxton said : Yon have Icon cony!, red of the crime of wilful and deliberate perjury, with a recenunendittion by the jury to the " extreme mercy of the Court." ft is not usual for a jury to recommend " extreme mercy." The only instance in which I now reeollect it to have 'been done • occurred in this Court a few years ego, in a case in which you were convicted by the jury of the same _arieee_efette_rnery welleer_esemeneetel Mien to the • ex treirie mercy of the Court." Your present jury had not this fact before them, or I think they would hardly have cluthid their recommendation in guile us strung language. 'They were deceived, I have no doubt, by the evidence of your good character, and, yere likewise influenced by a natural feeling of sympathy for a man charged with a serious crime iii his declining years. I find no fault with your jury. , I always treat the recommeadation of it jury with reapm'et, and in aproper case, give effect thereto in passing sett- It nce. lint the responsibility of judgment is with the Court. aid when a jury, acting upon the best lights before them, have been misled, we meet administer the law upon our independent judgment. - The ' , viewer° in ever case was bile)) as to leave up guest Me upon any mind in regard to time correctuese of the verdict. Your guilt Was established heyend all reasevable doubt. It Is clear that after having given is mortgaeo to a Building Association, as a, security for a mum is' money loarmil, you attempted to defeat a cult brought against von to recover the zanies dim upon that morteitee. by defitterately and falsely swearing in that snit that the said mortgage WAS a forgery, and that von never signed nor acknowledged ft:and this in the fare of abundant proof of your handwriting; of your actual eignature of the inertgage; of your recognition of it by the payment of interest thereon, and otherwise. By your owe acts, and out of your owe month, were DOI COltdrlllllfd. Had the case rested hero I should have given to the te commerelation of the jury more weight than I now feel at liberty to do. They perhaps lost eight of the fact, which appeared in evidence upon your trial, that in Your vaiu and desperate effort to defeat this mortgage you charged a conveyancer of this city, and hiebrother, a ne: tether of the Bar, with forgery. in connection with snit tnertgage, and also with a conepiravy to cheat and defraud you. In order to have procured their arrest you must have I 'large,' them under oath with these offences. You have thee diliberately piled perjury upon perjury, untilyou ere absolutely steeped in this crime. Both of the gentlemen referred to, and whom you -eo cruelly and falsely charged, were men of nublem felled character in this community. One of them is now de ceased. You have done all in your power to destroy his good mime while living and to blacken his memory when dead. Your defence at your trial was substanti ally, if not in hernia, an assault upon the memory. of one who is now in his grave, mud whose mental entlerine ey reason of your false charges probably hastened his end If tiler. ever was a criminal brought to the bar of jue • tics' in this Court for sentence who deeerveil is severe Prznishnient,you are that criminal, Your appeal:ince indicates that you have long since passed the meridian of your days. The taper of your life is tepidly approaching the socket.

This crime has became by far tee cot seen. The recent act of Assembly, enabling 's party - to a suit to testify in hie own cause, has produced a frightful increase of false Wearing. It is not an uncommon thing for persons to come into this Court encased in ellen an armor of per• jury that ills difficult for the lance of justice to pene trate it.
