CITY BULLETIN. .
—Green street,from 'Sixteenth to the entrance
(o Faitmount l’ark, is being paved with the Al
exander Miller wooden blocks. Three squares,
from Seventeenth lo Twentieth; have been
laid. The work is being done under the super
intendence of Gen. John M, llickel, President
of the Philadelphia Wood-paving Company.
The property owners bear the expense. The
entire cost will bo $45,000. With the exception
of half a dozen of the property holders,all have
agreed to have the work done. Where they
refuse, the cobble-stones remain undisturbed.
When the work is finished, Green street will
he the drive to the Park. City Councils yester
day afternoon,at the invitation of the company,
witnessed the laying of the pavement. For a
10 feet, front the property owner will have from
$l5 to $BO to pay. The increase in the value
of real estate will double that amount. Xt
w ill take another month to complete the work.
—Daniel Watts, a colored man, residing in
Flower street, has been arrested and committed
by Alderman Bonsall, on the charge of com
mitting ait assault upon 11. M. Shisler, a gar
dener/ residing on Moyamensing road, near
Buck road. Mr. Shisler alleges that Watts has
been employed by him for some months, and
on Saturday evening a dispute arose respecting
some money, when Watts seized a large fork
and ran at him, plunging it in his neck,piercing
the windpipe, causing three serious wounds in
the neck. It Js alleged that the accused also
stabbed Shisler in the leg, inflicting a painful
wound. For forty-eight hours the injured man
was unable to "swallow, and serious conse
quences were apprehended. Yesterday Mr.
Sliisler was much improved, and he is now
'thought to be out of danger.
—The insufficient appropriation made by
the Legislature for the Pennsylvania Institu
tion for the Deaf and Dumb, has been the
subject of consideration by the Board of Direc
tors of that institution. The following resolu
tion was passed ■ Resolved, That the Board of
Directors will, until the Legislature again con
venes, continue to receive educate, and main
tain pupils on the State foundation, and will
continue to exercise the most rigid economy,
and then will appeal to the Legislature forsuch
pecuniary relief as may be necessary to cover
the loss of maintaining the indigent pupils of
the State.
—Jacob Knorr, John G. Lawrence and
James G. Wilson, policemen of the Twelfth
District, were before Recorder Givin yester
day, charged with an, assault, and battery on
David F. Hutt and Jacob Strum. The prose
cutors were arrested by defendants on Easter
Sunday, at Sixteenth "and Thompson streets,
where a fight had taken place, but with which
it was not alleged Strum or Hutt had any
thing to do. They were drawn from a house
to the street by the noise and excitement, were
ordered away, and finally arrested and taken
to the lock-up, with unnecessary violence, as
they testified. The policemen were Held for
trial.
—Coroner Taylor held an inquest yesterday
afternoon on the body of John Boyle, who died
at St. Mary’s Hospital on Tuesday morning
last, from injuries received on the preceding
Friday night. Several witnesses were examined.
The evidence showed that at Beach and Laurel
streets there was a fight between Boyle, John
Tugman, Patrick McFarlaud and Francis Mc-
Bride. A numbef’of blows were struck, and
one man was kicked, by three others. Boyle
was found lying across the railroad track, but
nobody seems to have seen him struck by auy
ef the party. In the absence of Dr. Shapleigh,
the inquest was adjourned until this morning.
CAMDEN GOSSIP.
—Tlie establishment of a hay market in
Camden is said to have been decided upon.
—Seventeen wandering mendicants found
lodgings in the Camden Station-house last
night.
—Yesterday a beggar applied at a house on
Third street for somethiug to eat. It was
given, and after receiving it he went on the
stejis and would not leave until a police officer
was sent for, who locked him up. '
—Quite a large number of cases of scarlet
fever have occurred recently at Haddonfield,
hut they have mostly yielded to early and skill
ful medical treatment. This disease has pre
vailed extensively in South Jersey during the
past winter, and in many instances has proved
fatal. ■
—At the last meeting of the Burlington Pres
bytery, Itev. L. C. Baker was chosen Modem
tor; Bev. V. D. Reed, D. D., and J. D. Reiu
both were elected Commissioners to the Gene

Torpedoes and Harbor Defences.
The electric torpedo has recently been
brought to great perfection by Maury and Eli
nor. By taking the bearings of each when
laid from three land stations simultaneously,
their exact position is ascertained,and a friendly
squadron can retreat over them; while the
pursuers, attempting to follow, would he in
stantly blown up by the operators from the
shore. The mechanism is so contrived that it
can only be set in motion by the impact of a
ship, and even then no explosion follows until
the electric circuit is completed from all- three
stations. Mistakes are therefore almost impossi
sible; and the cables which connect the torpe
does with the shore may even be used for the
purpose of telegraphing from one station to
another. The electric light enables operations
to be carried on by night as well as by day; a
dense fog is the only obstacle which it has been
found impossible to overcome. The expense,
however, lbr cables, Ac., is considerable, espe
cially as torpedoes can only act within certain
limits, and must therefore be laid very close
together.
The reports of the commission presided over
by Colonel Jervois, as well as those which have
been appointed for the same purpose in Ger
many, have naturally been withheld from the
public. It-is,-however, generally understood
that hew agents, such as the compressed gun
cotton of Professor Abel, will produce much
greater effect than any other charge hitherto
used. Still no torpedo is believed to be capable
of inflicting serious injury at any great distanco.
Even four luet of water lias been known to
neutralize a charge of one thousand pounds of
gunpowder; and powerful as guii-cot'um. nitro
glycerine, or dualine may be, it'-will still be
necessary to sowttorpedoes not more than a
hundred feet apart. ,
Many other questions present themselves for
consideration. We have seen that it is irapos
•■ible, when the rise and fall of the tide aro
>cry great, to moor Raines's torpedoes so as to
I escape observation. On the-other hand, barri
i cades'to support fixed torpedoes will often
-prove .unable to resist the sweep of a strong
i ulal current. Hence, when,the passage to bo
-defended is very deep and broad, more perma
nent obstacles are desirable—floating forts, on
; which the heaviest •rdnance. can be mounted,
artificial islands, and the like. The space be
i ween these may be set with self-acting torpe
does, and the passage which it is advisable to
leave open for the use of the defenders with
eleclric ones after the designs of Ebnor. Sub
marine barriers are at all times difficult to
construct. Chains can be buret asunder by
petards. Tiie best constructed barricades of
wood and iron are apt to give way from their
own weight. Perhaps the most ingenious, as
well as the cheapest, obstacle, was one employed
by the Confederates at Charleston. Thick ca
bles, to which thin cords were attached, were
moored loosely but ‘firmly below the surface.
On the approach of a hostile flotilla, the thin
ropes woifced themselves round the screws, and
drew the cables after them, thus effectually
bringing the steamer to a stand-stiJ. After the
terrible failure of Admiral Dupont, the Federals
did not again venture to come too close, but a
friendly steamer which accidentally became en
tangled in the ropes could not get free for more
than two hours.
Hitherto, torpedoes have been regarded
solely with a view to defensive operations. It
remains to be seen how far they are available
for the attack. In the American ' war they
were often floated down stream against the
blockading squadxxms, hut the nets witli winch
the Federals protected the bows of their ships
invariably intercepted them. The destruction
of the (Federal) HoHsatonic and the (Con
federate) Albemarle from torpedo-boats, musty
be ascribed to the daring of the assailants far
more than to the excellence of the machine.
Experiments, however, are going on in various
Countries, and it is possible that, before long, an
efficient torpedo-boat will be designed, The
great difficulty hitherto has been to construct
one which can be steered under water. The
true direction is generally lost at once, and
often the boat reappears, to the amazement of
its crew, at the very spot where it was sub
merged. The Austrians are understood to be
trying experiments with magnetic boats, which:
will be attracted by the iron of the hostile
ships, and a North-German inventor is re
ported to be on the eve of some wonderful
discovery. Quite recently, too, attempts have
been made to ascertain the practicability of
guiding the course of torpedoes launched'from
a vessel, pretty much as boys regulate the
flight of a kite. As yet, however, this branch
of the science of submarine warfare lias re
ceived less attention than it deserves.—Cham
bers's Journal.
BOBBERY OF THE ROTHSCHILDS.
Unlf n million Dollars Stolen.
An employe of the Rothschilds, of Baris,
lias just robbed these bankers of a very large
amount. Details of the case, though not com
plete, are still sufficiently clear. It is stated
that, a careful scrutiny of the accounts and
books of the bullion department has shown
a deficit exceeding two million five hundred
thousand francs, or one hundred thousand
pounds. Therperpetrator of the robbery is
Charles Tassins, a man of forty-nine years of
age, of German birth, but long resident in
France. He is said to have been a great lover
at once of music and of beer. He was the Presi
dent of the Liederkranz,a musical association,
and a partner in a brewery. His position at
Messrs. Rothschilds was that of manager of
ilie bullion department, and in that capacity
it was his' duty to purchase ingots of the
' precious metals which Were offered
tor sale. The discovery of his frauds was acci
dentally made in consequence of his delay in
forwarding a bulk of 1,01)0 English sovereigns,
for which a customer had paid in 25,000 f.
i'pon his failure to reappear at the hank, his
till and chests were searched, and it was dis
covered that neither the 1,000 sovereigns nor.
the 25,000 francs were there, The Police were
immediately informed, and they succeeded in
arresting Tassius, who is partially paralyzed,
at the house of a'relative. A search was also
made at his own residence, and a sum of about
20,000 francs was found, as also some corres
pondence, which proved that the prisoner had
been concerned with a Prussian physician in
Bourse speculations, which had not been
profitable. The Prussian doctor has also been
arrested on a charge of complicity in the frauds
committed by Tassius, and both prisoners
awaited judicial examination when the mail
left.

Mr. George Hodder, •vvljo hccompaoied
Thackeray in bis lecturing'tohre, haa just pub
lished “ Memoirs of My Time,” in which he
says that, on the Sunday before he went to
America, Thackeray ;spokc of the monpy he
should probably make there by his; readings.'
He wanted a few thousands more, be said, for
he had not yet made enough. Lecturing was
more profitable than magazine-writing. The
fareWelt dinner to him put him in a state of
nervous anxiety, and Hodder had to sit,down
beforehand and write at dictation the heads of
a speech. Charles, Dickens was the. cbab[-;
man.' At a late hour Dickens and some others
left,'and Thackeray was about to : move : wbftti
Jerrpld took . tbe chair and Thackeray ...re
mained.' None of the men present will forget
that night. There was at) “ air of wit” about
me room for three days after. On Thackeray’s
return from America be gave the lectures here,
-being paid fifty guineas for ’ each reading. He
really admired Dickens. When No. 5 of
“ Dombey and Sou” came out, he hastened to
the Punch, office, and entering tho room of the
editor (Mark Lemon), lie dashed the number
onto the table : with vehemence, and ex
claimed: “There’s no writing against such
power as this—one has no chance! Head that
chapter describing young Paul’s deathit is
unsurpassed—it is stupendous!” Thackeray’s
illnesses were the bane of his life. He was
asked if he received the best medical advice.
" Certainly he bad,” was the reply; “ but what
is the use of advice if you don’t follow it V*
They tell me not to drink, and l do drink.
They tell me not to smoke, and I do smoke.
They tell me not to eat, and Ido eat. In
short, I do everything that I am desired not to
do, and, therefore, what am Ito expect?”
Dickens 'does not know what ner
vousness means. , When asked if
he had ever felt fidgety be
fore public occasions on which he was to
speak, he instantly replied: “ Not in the least.
The first time I took the chair at a public
dinner I felt as much confidence as If *1 had
done the same thing a hundred times before.”
He is happy on minor occasions. At a dinner
given bis son, when about to leave for China,
the young gentleman became warmed with
wine,—when Dickens, in returning thanks for
his own health, took the opportunity of ob
serving that after such a generous dinner “a
little transaction in tea” would do his son a
world of good. Thackeray, when presiding at
a dinner of • the General Theatrical Fund,
broke down completely. He had prepared his
speech, and he commenced witli some learned
allusions to the car of Thespis and the early
history of the drama, when he suddenly col
lapsed, and brought tiis address to a close in a
few commonplace observations, which could
scarcclyjie called coherent.
Mr. Hodder Las some “ richness ” about the
conscientious Sala and his “ employers.” He
lets in some light on the manufacture of
British opinion concerning our rebellion. In
a letter written to him by .Sala when the latter
was at New York, Sala advises his friend Wil
liam B. .lerTold to cross the Atlantic aud lec
ture. “ lie is a republican and abolitionist,”
wrote Sala; “I would take care to have his
Northern sympathies well ventilated. He
might make a lot of money by lecturing, aud
write home some Northern articles to coun
teract the baneful effect of my secesli
rhapsodies. After all, I believe the working
people in England are by a vast majority on
the Northern side, which they believe to be
the cause of freedom; and as W. .1. is the
friend of the W. C.-s, and the W. C.’s are sure,
sooner or later, to get the better of us, iu the
way of reform aud’ other tilings, tire invest
ment wonld be, in- the long run, a money
making one. And I seriously think he would
like the country. . So I might have done but
for circumstance’s which I could not control.
W. J.’s name is very well kuown.in this coun
try anil he would have a warm reception; and
as soon as it was known that ho was, politi
cally, on the right side of the hedge, he might
do anything with the Yankees. They will
give their heads for powerful advocacy, and if
I bad chosen to be dishonest and to sell my
employers, I might have left this country with
five and twenty thousand dollars iu my
packet.” . ff.?

cere Elected—Transfer of the Boat! to
the Pennsylvania Central.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle says:
The anuual meeting of the stockholders Off
the Erie ami Pittsburgh Railroad Company,
for the election of President and Directors,
and transaction of other business, was held at
the Company’s office in Erie on Saturday
morning, it was voted to reduce the number
of directors from thirteen to seven, and the
following gentlemen were then electedotlicers
of the road for the ensuing year :
President —Win. D. Scott, of Erie...
JJirectors— John H. Walker, of Erie; Milton
Courtright, of Erie ; James Pierce, of Sliarps
ville; John F. Tracy, of New York city;
Alanson Robinson, New York city; Horace
E. Clark, New York city, and Wm. L. Scott,
ex-officio.
The only subject of importance submitted
to the stockholders was the proposal to lease
the road to tho Pennsylvania Central. The
following was presented as the basks of tho
proposed lease: The Erie and Pittsburgh
road do lease its entire property to the Penn
sylvania Central for .a term of 099 years, the
latter guaranteeing seven per cent, annual in
terest on the aggregate bonds and stock of the
Erie and Pittsburgh, nowamountingto $4,379,-
000. It was decided to tender a lease of tho
road on the above terms, which will doubtless
be accepted by the Directors of the Pennsylva
nia Central at their next meeting, on Wednes
day next. The Erie and Pittsburgh will be
operated as a branch of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, under the supervision of
J. IS. McCullough, Esq., General Manager of
the latter road.
It is not probable, says th'o Erie Dispatch,
that any change will be made in the-present
board of officials, who, it must be admitted,
have managed the interests of the Erie and
Pittsburgh road very successfully, and no
' changes whatever in the mechanical departs
ment. The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago road does an immense business, and the
ability with which its affairs are conducted by
Superintendent McCullough, proves him to be
a thoroughly efficient railroad man. The
policy, to Be followed is not known here yet,
out from what wo have learned, we judge that
the transfer or coalition will bo the means of
a largo increase of shipments on tho Erie and
Pittsburgh, to the port of Erie.
Oodey's Umbrellas.
. Neighbor Godey, sitting in tlie *• Arm-Chair ”
of bis magazine, comes across the following
paragraph, which our readers have seen be
fore:
“EXTRAORDINARY Cab-diuvuks and Po
licemen op ]’a kis. — Between the 2(>tli of
December and the 12tli of January,lB watches,
22 pocketbooks (eontaiuiog altogether 37,479 f.),
3 nags, 1 gold snuff-box, 1 bracelets, 3 lock
ets* T brooches, and 1 pair of gold spectacles
were returned. All these objects were picked
up jin the;itieets of in the public gardens. In
cabs, omnibuses,, aiid theatres there were
found 27 purses and pocketbooks (containing
63,698 f.), 15 watches, 23 opera-glasses, 1 pearl
necklace, 3 gold necklaces and lockets, 2 brace
lets, 44 umbrellas,s ladies’ shawls or cloaks,and
9 gentlemen’s overcoats. The most surprising
feature of the list is tho number of twenty
franc and ten-franc pieces picked up and taken
to the police-office.”
The above reads very well, says Mr. Godey,
hut we were not so fortunate. We had the
misfortune to 1 lose two umbrellas and a cane
from a cab, and made our representations to
Mpns. le pirefept, and, after waiting some days
foran hnswef, were Informed that, “Some
honest plan who had found them had not
handed them in.”
