Asan evidence of bis tact andjudg ment; it may silted that when his distinguished colleague, General Sam Houston, performed the'eccefttrlfcity'tff joining the American party,' and leaving his own, (funeral RvsK maintaincd good,relations,nfithhim, and never indulged in those , public criminations and recrimina tions, which too . often dishonor great States in the American Congress. There was every reason why this should be so. The two Sena tors had passed’ through many trying ordeals together. Their career had been remarkably similar in more respects than one. ' Partners iS the early struggles for Texan independence; partners on the battle-field; partners in the young republic j .counsels and partners in tho Senate of - the .United States, it was not pos sible- for them to be entirely separated by a mere'political difference. TRokas J. Rusk was born in South Carolina, and When he died was in the fiftieth year of his ago. In his early manhood ho removed to Texas, theq .a province of Mexico, and before lie was, thirty years of, age took a prominent part'wi th the people of that region in all their struggles for liberty, against the Mexican Gov ernment. / He signed.the declaration of Texan independence,,on the 16th of March, 1886, and was afterwards elected Secretary of,'War. He figured conspicuously at the battle of San Ja cinto, and when General Houston, the Texan commander, was wounded, Ruse was appointed major general and had the control of the opera tions of the army. His coolness, courage, and gallantry, were only excelled by Mb prudence and sagacity as a statesman, and during all the troubles beginning with the declaration of Texan Independence and ending with its an nexation to the United States in 1846, General Rusk was, after General Houston, the leading spirit." •■ ’ ■ f ; '.' On the 21st of February, 1846, ThOkas J. Ruse and Sax Houston were elected Sena tors from 1 tlie State of Texas to the Odugress of the'United States, and on thb 3d of March, 1861, General Rusk; was re-elected for Bix years. His second term expiring on the 8d of March, 1867, he was again elected'to tho Senate for Bix years from- that day; and had he survived to tho endof-that term; he would have been ! 6ne of'that great body eighteen years. i ,; i 'Whlle a “ member of the' Senate, ho was piot only distinguished for bis common sefi|#aiid his.upright and manly deportment, bu|. r is a member of the Committee on Military ASrafrs, and''lately, as Chairman of the Post Office Committee, ho dischnrgnd important duties with the greatest fidelity and slcill. There !b not a Senator of-any party who will not mourn -the-'unexpected' and premature death ’bf o'nb who, in every relation of life, well deserved the a] pellation of a devoted friend,',a stainless gentleman, and an unsus pected patriot. shall there be a new president TIAL MANSION ? The New York Daily Tima , in tho follow ing article; - seconds > the suggestion of. the Washington correspondent of The Press, in favor of the erection of a new Presidential Mansion; The reasons advanced by the Timex arc convincing and' forcible. But there are others which must occur to any ono acquainted’ with; the necessities which do mand such an edifice for the Chief Magistrate of the Nation.' All are now satisfied that tho present location is most'insalubrious. Fori many years the . household of the' President! has suffered during the autumn from fever, and j the fact that this disease also prevails in the ■same vicinity ; properly decided Mr. Buchanan! to change bin residence for the summer and; fall to the “Soldier’s Homo,” four miles’; [from Washington. The of tho! Treasury ..building, which will occupy several! acres of the public grounds attached to the , Presidential mansion and the . cer-j tain erection of new War and Navy depart-; ments ■in the near fritnro, will so hem in the White House as to render it by no means art agreeable residence; apart from its unhealthy, surroundings. 'Connected with the design of constractlng a new house for the Executive, is ‘the suggestion, now generally approved by all .fair-minded men, in favor of providing ap propriate buildings.for the seven members of the Cabinet.; .Congress in 1863 increased tho salaries.of. each cabinet officer from five to eight thousand dollars per annum, and yet it is admitted that even with tliis pay, which siuki into inconceivable insignificance, when con trasted with the liberal amount appropriated by the' British government to its officials, few gent tjembn taking position as' constitutional advij sera to the President, can afford to extend those liberal hospitalities which are expected, from their positiopj,unless they can boast large pri vate' fortunes. ’ Wo have a great distrust, ojf extravagant, expenditure .by the Federal Go vernment, but we think, that-no disposition could be made of tho'public money that would reflect more credit upon tho country and bp more productive of happy results than that which' has been referred to. Millions upon 'millions are' thrown away in donations of the public tonds to railroad companies and upon various other objects of doubtful utility, nn|l with overflowing revenues there is no ing where the spirit of special legislation will end. > At all events let u/j calmly consider whether a better use could be made of a portion of the public treasury than by erecting the edifice to which we havo alluded and thus provide against complaint, now not only common but just, and beautify the great political capital of the coun try. , •A New White .House.—The Washington correspondent yf The Press, Colonel Forney’s new paper, says that “ there can bo* little doubt that tko orootion of a new Presidential mansion will be one of the measures that will receive the favorable action of tho next Congress.” The pro priety of the measure will not oe questioned, wo Imagine, by any one, oxeept those who may have a desire to make way with our Presidents soon after their election. The present Presidential mansion is conceded to be an unhealthy residence in sum* mer, and Mr. Buchanan hod determined not to live in it .during tho hot months. ,It can be put to a very .good use as tho official residence pf the President, where ho can hold his Cabinet meetings, receive Ml official visitors, and reside in it during the winter months, when Congress; is in session, if he should 'find it necessary to be near the Capitol. Of course the new Presidential mansion would bo more out jpf town, on higher ground, away from tho riv.er, and in 'a healthier location, and, of c6ursc, a more elegant and convenient house than the present one, though not- necessarily' larger. But, whilo the subject of a now Presidential mansion {sunder .'cbjasidoration, we hope that the proposition wbioh has heretofore been made to build housos for tho Secretaries and Postmaster-General wilt not be forgotten. It- is not so muoh for the sake of the .gentlemen who fill those stations as for tho con vOnience of tho' peoplo who may'have occasion to . visit them, that it is desirable they should hftvo a fixed >residence, and one suitable to the position they occupy. A proposition has been made by & citixen of the District of Columbia to build four houses for the principal beads of Depart ments, to be leased to the-Government. But the '.nation Utioh enough to build suitablo houses for ,wte tnembers'of the Cabinet, and it would bo true ’to do so.' As there is a handsome and house farnisbod for tho residence of j^v^Uinsof oil the naval stations in the coun try* whose ty rm of,;senrice.never exceeds three bo no good reason given why ns much should Bo f |j o done for the heads of Depart ments at Washington. —IV. T. Time j. POLITE 1 • A didatlc essayist, in the current number of Harper’s Magazine, tiaj. mised the question whether we are a polite people?

Wabhinoton, August 3, 1857. Tho long looked for Press has at last reached us, and, at this present time, of writing, has been road, with gratification, by hundreds of the ad mirer;! and friends of its conduotor. All express , themselves pleased at the noble eland it has taken for President Buchanan and his’administration.' But how could it be otherwise? . Who that knows its chief editor oould for a moment think be would not give James Buchanan his most hearty sup port 1 ?. 1 Prom the feeling I hear expressed on all sides, Tnn Pbkss is destined to have a large circulation in Washington, and will oxeroise much influence in tho discussion of the important topics of 'the day. Messrs. Lee A Guthrie, of Ciiloinnnti, have se-' oured a patent for au improvement in fire-arms. Their improvement is for “self-loading” cannon and small arms, which executes its functions with groat rapidity. With this improvement, aipumbor of largo gnus—a whole battery—can beloadod and fired at the samo time. It is stated that 1 Mr, Bn ohananhas concluded to assist tho originators of this valuable improvement, ont’of.the public trea sury, with funds appropriated .by a special act of OongresB : for' the purpose,, authorising a small amount to be given to civilian* to aid in exhibit ing, on a large scale, an- improvement thnt will bo sotyiceablo to the oountry. The President do3orves much praise. He shows that he is no friend to ex clusivo clasaos, or privileges; but that, under him, the blessings of government shall be shared by all alike. . , In addition t?,those wo have alroady mentioned in connection. With tho position of Oommissioner of Patents, wtphenr tho names of General James, of Rhode Dr. Everett, of this city. It is confidently assortod, where men congrcgato horo to learn Jhe news, that Hon; James M. Bu ohanan, of Baltimore, has boon, or will bo, offered tho position’of Minister to Russia. Kon. James Guthrie, late Secretary of tho Trea sury, is in tliis oityl: Governor Oummins, of Utah, still remains heref' No secretary has yet been ohosen to accompany Mr. Cumminß. Tho story published the othorday about tho dis missal of Ohiof Engineer Martin, of tho Navy, was without any foundation?' He stili porfonns tho duties of his office.' There is a strong effort being made to hove Mr. Lenthal,' Chief of the Navy Boanro of Construction, removed. It is ■ doubtful whether his opponent will snoceed. In all. probability the President will return to Washington on Saturday next. The groat press' nro of pnblio business will prevent his staying longer away. - H. BRANCH v.

[For Tho Press.] Highly Important.— Pure Water.— l am no chemist, and therefore shall not troublo your readers with any scientific disquisition upon tho subject about whJoh I-wish to say a few words, viz: a com-’ plaint made of the state of the water received by tho people of old Kensington from the resorvoir that is -filled from tho Delaware. It is said that the offensive oh&racter of the water is oaused by tho offal from fish’ cleaned in the vioinlty of the place where the Water is taken, and other causes nro assigned for the offensive state of the fluid. Those imputations, I think, lire groundless. My opinion is that tho cause of coiftplaint is in tho water itself, which is suffered to remain for some time in tho reservoir before it is drawn off, and perhaps some partd of the rcserToir' are relieved much moro readily,- and consequently more frequently, than [ other-parts.’ • , Now, His known : to those who go to sea, that *tv«r water, when placed in tanks or casks and taken to sea for use, -undergoes ns regular a ferraen* tatien as does beer, and that after that fermentation hascomtnencsd/ftnd before it ia accomplished, tho water is exceedingly offensive. ' >r 1 •The users of Schuylkill water will recollect times wheiJ iA' Warm weather, the water in Jhe, wash basins arid sowershto befeh quite foetid, and this is -owing to its partial fermentation; Now the water of the Delaware-is, from obvious causes, much more liable to fermentation than is that of the Schuylkill, and therefore, I think that in attempt* ing to remedy the evil, ‘ which" is cerfcalniy’gredt, • reference shoald be had to the probability, of the cause to which 1 have referred, and the remedy or preventive should be applied in that direction.

Anniversary of the Emancipation of Slaves i?i the British West Indies.— Tho Ist Inst, was the twentieth anniversary of tho emancipation of slaves in tho British West Indies, and its obser vance in this city by agenoral pic-nio of oolored persons, wus postponed until yostorday. Yesterday morning shortly after eight o’olook, tho cars of the Philadelphia branch of the Reading Railroad, run ning from Sixteenth and Willow streets, took out their first load of exoursionists to Washington Re treat, tho place selected by the Committee of Ar rangements, for tho ceremonies of tho day. Every hour thereafter they convoyed othor parties, and the Rotroat was literally orowded. A cornet and string band was in very active operation at the time wo visited the grounds, and a series of speeches, relative to the event which was then commemorated, were delivered. Messrs. S. G. Gould, Wear, J. G. Bias, Young, Campbell, Bowers, and others, made pertinent addresses. The day was pleasantly passed by all who partici pated - Improvements in tke West End.— Recently a number of permits were Issued for the erection of a blook of now and first-class buildings in Master street, immediately west of Broad stroot. It will bo but a brief period beforo this locality will wear all the eleganoo, all the adornments, and all tho architectural beauty whioh now characterize Green and Wallaoe streets in the same direction. Mr. Edwin Forest’s mansion is situated on the corner of Broad and Master, and the new blook of houses will immediately join it on Master street. A few doors above, in Broad street, we learn that Sheriff Mcgeo has purchased a fifty feet lot, with a view to the ereotion of a splendid residence upon it. As this section is already the gem of our entire city, tho intonded improvements in Master street will muoh enhance its beauty. Tho lots have all a depth of a hundred and fifty-five feet, with ample frontage to permit side yards to them all. The neighborhood is unexoeptionable, and tho sale of all the property is so restricted os to effect the ex elusion of all nulsanocs. It is but a brief period since Green street, west of Broad, now one of the most handsome thoroughfares in tho city, was en tirely destitute of a fine-looking building, yet a fearful local evil, in the shape of a small-pox hos pital, infects the locality with its foil masiua, and seriously retards improvement. The Fire Detective Service. —This branch of the Police Department appears to work quite sat isfactorily. Tho detective service was instituted by Mayor Vaux, about the first of May, and in or der to convey a more definite idea of tho duties of this servloo, wo append the rules and regulations, by which it is governed, as follows: First.— The Chief shall have an office at the Central Police Station, and shall keep a record of all fires that may occur In any part of the consolidated city of Phila delphia. Second.—The Fire Police shall attend all fires that can bo reached during their prevalence, and where their great distances, or other unavoidable causes, render this impossible, the place shall bo vlßited as soon after the occurrence of the fire as possible. Third. —At every alarm, both day and night, the fire operatives shall promptly repair to the scene of confla gration, and shall immediately make an examination, for the purpose of ascertaining the origin of the fire. Every effort snail be used to discover the cause of burning, and to establish, with os much accuracy and certainty as the nature of the case will admit, whether it was the result of design or otherwise. Fburth.— Whenever it is clearly and satisfactorily as certained that the fire was an act of incendiarism, the detectives must exert themselves to the extent of their ability, And relax no exertion to ferret out and bring to justice the guilty authors of the crime. Fifth .—The Chief shall, with all due promptitude and dispatch, make a report in writing to the Mayor, of the result of the iuvestfgation inode by him at each fire, ac companied with such Information or suggestions as he may deem proper.' High Constable A. W. Blackburn is detailed as Chief of the Fire Police, and L. W. Thorntou and —. ■ ■ .... are detailed as Assistants. The bus ness and legal process to he prepared and issued from the Central Station only, unless in a case admitting of no delay. Philadelphia Fireman in Washington. —it. A. Gorbutt, President; Jas. Young and Peter Young, Direotors, Samuel Clark ond Goo. Clark, membora, a deputation of the Southwark Fire En gine Company, of Philadelphia, arrivod in "Wash ington on Monday morning. The objeot of their visit is to mako preliminary arrangements with tho Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Company of Washington, to fisit this city to join in tho grand general parado, on the first Monday in October. Fruit. —The prospect for a fine and first class orop of peaches was never better in this vi cinity. There will be a very large yield of the apple crop in Philadelphia county, and all of os can havo our full share of pippins and poaches. Ripe fruit is always wholesome, and we have an Idea that its “disappearance,” in this quarter, although not as suddon as the magical foat of Godard, at Drew’s Theatre, will nevertheless bo as certain. Political. —Last evening a number of Re publican meetings were bold in the different Wards, for tho purpose of elcoting delegates to a County Convention. The attendance at all of them was-very slim, and no interest was manifested in their proceedings except by those endeavoring to obtain the position of delegates. Some six or sovea constituted the average attendance at all these gatherings. No Advance Payment. The movement among our large shipping merchants to pay no ad vance wages to the seamen in their employ, ap poof to be successful, at least in this city. The crew of the ship Saranac, which sailed on Satnr day for Liverpool, wero shipped without tho pay ment of advanoo wages In any form, and not with the advance, as was previously stated by some of our cotemporaries. No dotontlon, we loam, was caused in obtaining a cfew, in consequence of the Inauguration of this beneficial system. United States Hotel.— lt will bo seen by our advertising column 0 , that tho last proprietor of this favorite Houso, Mr. C. J. MacLellan, has hung out his banners at tho Clinton Place Hotel , New York. It is well known that this gentleman was forced to give up the United States inconsequence of damage done It, at tho burning of the Artisans' Building, in its rear. Indeed, it was mainly owing to his popularity, especially with firomon, that the property was saved even In a damaged state. The Insuranco Companies concerned should remember him. Although Mr. MaoLcllan did not own tho property, his loss was nevertheless groat, being suddenly deprived of a fine businoss. Having been a loading featuro at the United Statos and Jones' Hotels, through a period of fifteen years, he deserves tho sympatics of our cltitons. To all who visit our slstor city, we commend our friend MaeLellan, nnd tho Clinton Place Hotel. * Police Items. —The returns of tho Lieuten ants of tho different Wards to Mayor Vaux, have presented nothing important for some time past.— Tho Arrests have been mainly for drunkon and disorderly conduct and vagranoy. The Police De partment is well disciplined, and under tho super intendence of very competent gentlemen. To this fact must we attribute tho general good order which ut present prevails in Philadelphia. Parade and Celebration of the Colored Odd Fellow*. —Extensive arrangements have beou mttdo for a grand parade and celebration of the United Order of Colored Odd Fellows, In this city, on Thursday, SopUwbor 3d, on the occasion of lay ing tho corner stonofor the now Odd Follows’ Hall. Tho lino of tho par&do will form on Arch stroot, tho right on Broud street, facing south, extending westward. Tho proocssion will move at 0 o’olook, A. M., precisely. Tho following route has beon agreed upon: Countermarch up Arch to Eigh teenth, down Eighteenth to Walnut, down Wuluut to Tenth, down Tenth to Pino, down Pino to Third, up Third to Chestnut, up Chestnut to Tenth, up Tenth to Markot, up Market to National Hall. Tho exorcises at the Hall will consist of orations and music, aftor which tho procession will movo down Market streot to Twelfth, up Twelfth to Arch, down Arch to Eighth, up Eighth to Brown, down Brown to Third, down Third to Vine, up'Vine to Sixth, down Sixth to Spruce, up Spruce to Elovonth, down Elovonth to South, down South to Eighth, up Eighth to Lombard, down Lombard to tho Philadelphia Institute, whore tho Ceremonies of laying the cornor stoue for the new Odd Follows’ Hall will be performed. The Pennsylvania Sank Building . —The granite front of this sp aadid edifice, adjoining tho oflloo of ThrPkera, has been completed. The roof of the front or main portion of this ftructuro, will soon bo put in its place, and the interior com pleted. Tbis portion, liko the remainder of the structure, will bo fire-proof. The Fall Trade.— The Fall trade in this city proraisos to bo quito aotive. There uro more buyers In town and more goods now boing sold, than many would naturally infer. The operations of tho Jobbers aro only to a limited extent; bu? we loam that there is a considerable quantity of staple goods from commission houses and importers now belug shipped. A number of Western mer chants, among whom ure some of the heaviest dealers, are stopping at our principal hotels, aud have already commenoed to make extensive pur chases. Several of the bonds of our large jobbing houses arc recruiting for the Fall trade at Atlantic City, Capo May, and other popular snmmor resorts. Our business men have all learned by this time that recreation during the “ heated term,” a dip in old ocean, and a ramble through the country, where they can breatho free and pure air, are just the things to reinvigorate them fully, so that they can meet their increased cares on their return to the walled avenues of the elty. Tho indications are all favorable to a good trado this soaspn. At one o’clock, yesterday, the thermometer at McAllister’s, Chestnut street, stood at 87 de grees. The weather was very oppressive. During the afternoon rain commenced falling, end con tinued during the evening. A New Steam Fire Engine. —The members of tho Philadelphia Hobo Company, of this otty, have determined to purohasea Steam Fire Engine, to be oonßtructed by Re&nle, Neaffie A Co., accord ing to a plan furnished by Mr. Joseph L. Parry, whioh, it is stated, Is better than any heretofore niado. Tho cost of it will be $3,500, and tho alter ations necessary in their building, to adapt H for tho accommodation of the new engine, will cost about $1,500 more. Narrow Escape.— Much excitement was created at Long Branch on Saturday morning in consequence of ft young lady, ft daughter of Abra* ham Heart, Esq., of Philadelphia, having been carried by the surf beyond her depth. She wore a life-preserver, and her father went to her assist tance, but also could not gei. back, and both would have perished but for the assistance of a Mr. Morris. To the Editor of The Press,.—ln your para graph in to-day’s Press, on tho latest prise fight, you say:—“ln Great Britain it is regarded as a part of publio education to bo able ‘to go in’, at all times, and fight out.” I would beg leave to correot such an erroneous impression. I read the sentence over several times before I could persuade myself I had read aright. That the acquirement of the ability “ to go in,”. is at all permitted, not to say encouraged, as an accomplishmer' by tho English, who have any pretensions to good breeding, is a great mistake. That it ia encouraged by some of the worthless sprigs of nobility, and their hangers-on, to the disgust of all polite sooiety, I am sorry to have to admit. I would not trouble you, but in order to secure tho friendship, so desirable to the two na tions, a correct knowlede of each other, seems of the greatest importance to Philadelphia, Aug. 4,1867. An Englishman. [From the New York Express of last evening ] ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE BUR DELL MURDER CASE. ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURES Mrs. Cunningham again before the Public. FRAUD ON THE PART OF MRS. CUNNINGHAM A SHAM BIRTH ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH WITH. DR. CATLIN, OF BROOKLYN, IMPLICATED. AIRS. CUNNINGHAM AND HER NURSE ARRESTED. The Child Obtained from Bellevue Hospital* This morning, it was rumored through the city that Mrs. Cunningham had been removed to her old quarters in the Tombs—not on ft charge of muruer'now, but on the serious charge of trying to defraud the blood relatives of Doctor Burdoll by tho production of a child, born two days ago, as a posthumous ono, begotten by Dr. Burdoll, and to whioh she pretended to havo given birth on Mon day night. From what our reportor could hurriedly collect this morning, from Mr. Wm. B. Walsh, crier of tho general sessions, ono of the officers who arrested her, it appears that after the recent trial, it is re ported Airs. C. told a cortaln physician she was not enciente , but offered him a thousand dollars if he would manage tho business for her. The doctor being an honest man, protended to accept her offer, and informed tho district attorney, wno direoted him to still pretend he was attending to her inter ests. Accordingly, she was placed under sarvcH nnce; aud, on Monday night, Mr. Wm. B. Walsh, who was watching her, saw her go into a house in Elm street, from whenoo she soon after emerged with a basket. He followed, and saw her go into the basement of No. 31 Bond streot. This was about 9 o’clock; and abont 11, ho and CaptAin Dilks, Speight and nopkins and officer Smith entered the nouse, and found that a birth had taken place. In a certain part of the house was found various articles which would show that a child had been born. Upon going up stairs, Mrs. Cunningham was found in bed, apparently complaining of being very weak, and her sister offering her some tea, when Mr. Walsh said, “Oh, you needn’t give her that—she doesn’t want it. Give her some brandy—she’s weak. Gut up, Airs. Cunningham; the game is played out.” Capt. Dilks, who accompanied Mr. Walsh, then took away the child, but she called out, “Oh, leave me, my little baby.” Bnt tho officers wero iooxo ruble, and both Mrs. Cunningham and the little baby wore arrosted. [From oar Police Reporter.] Another startling chapter in the celebrated murder oaso of Harvey Burdcll, has jnst boon brought to light, and reveals one of the blackest conspiracies on the part of Mm. Cunningham and ono or two others, for tho purpose of obtaining the wholo of tho property belonging to tho late Dr. Burdoll, that nos ever been mado public. From information received by District Attorney Hall, Airs. Cunningham, Dr. C. Catlin, of Court street, Brooklyn, and a nurse, were arrested at 31 Bond street, on Monday night, at a late hour, by Inspectors Dilks, Speight, and Hopkins, of tho 15th, 21st and 3d Wards Police, assisted by Ser geant S. J. Smith, of the Lower Polios Court, and officer Walsh attached to the Court of Sessions. Dr. Catlin, and the nurse, whose name was not ascertained, after their arrest were taken to the 15th Precinct Station Houso, and oonfined in sepa rate cells, and Airs. Cunningham, who pretended to be very ill, was allowed to remain in tho house, undor guard of a cordon of Polioemen, who re ceived instructions not, rnder any circumstances, to nllow either ingress or egress to the premises. In order that the facts in tho case,' as they are said to really exist, may be fairly set forth, it u ne cessary to go back to the time when Mrs. Cunning ham was in the Tombs, provious to her trial for the murder of Dr. Burdoll. MRS. CUNNINGHAM SENDS FOR DB. UHL. From the evidenco thus far elicited, it would seem that while in prison Mrs. Cunningham sent for Dr. Dnvid Uhl, her family physician, and intimated that blio was in an interesting situation; and at that tirao exhibited evident symptoms that such was thd fact. Shortly nfter this interview with Ur. Uhl, the murder trial came on, and, uftcr her acquittal, she sent for Ur. CJhl on different occasions, and wished him to prescribe for illness consequent upon her presumed state. At the same time she requested that M should attend upon her during her approaching confinement with a child, of which she said Dr. Harvey Bnrdell was the father. Dr. Uhl replied that, owing to the peculiarities of the case, several physicians would be required to make the desirea examination; and ho proi mined to get the requisite nnmbor of doctors, and proceed with the examination, for the purpose of certifying to her true condition. BUK WANTS AN EXAMINATION. For somo cause or other Mrs. Cunningham op* patently purposely avoided Dr. Uhl for a consid erable time afterwards, as if suspecting she could not depend upon him in the emergency. He, how ever, received a note from her, m the course of a few vroeks, and an interview followed. Mrs. Cunningham renewed with great force hor representations os to the importance of the exami nation iu regard to her pregnancy, and said it must bo w&do at once. At her request, Dr. Uhl engaged two physicians to aid in tho delicate matter, hut from her aotions, which woro very mysterious, Dr. Uhl suspected that something was wrong. Tho Doctor communicated his suspicions to one of Mrs. Cunningham’s counsel, whence (the coun sel) remarked that it was “ all right;” that Mrs. Cunningham was in tho family way. on. imii APPARENTLY AGREES WITH MRS. C- Dr. Uhl then arrangod that he and Dr. Catlin should make the examination; hut at the next interview she opened her mind to Dr. Uhl, and frankly confessed that she was not pregnant, but remarked at the same time that she intended to find & child some way or other. This was about three weeks ago, at which time she asked Dr. Uhl to get a child for her; hut on this point the Dootor gave her no satisfaction, as in her remark he discovered &n unworthy motive. DR. UHL CONSULTS THIS DISTRICT ATTORNEY. The following morning, Dr. Uhl called upon his counsel, Daniel E. Wneelor, Esq., and advised with him on the subject. It was thought best for him to wait a few days, and to then notify the pro per authorities of what was going on. Somo two weeks since Dr. Uhfcalled upon Dis trict Attorney Hall, at his private office, and made known to tho public prosecutor all th» facts of tho affair, which wore then in bis possession. THK ARRANOBMENTS FOR TflE FALSE WRIT. The doctor then desired to make an affidavit, em bracing all the particulars of tho caao as made known to him by Airs. Cunningham, and then with* draw from tho unpleasant business altogether. To this arrangement, however, Mr. Hall demurred, and thought that Dr. Uhl, as n goodcitUon, should assist him to bring Airs. Cunningham and her con federates in tho business to justice. REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE MR. CUNNINGHAM. The Doctor took a little time for deliberation, again consulted with his counsel, several physi cians and frionds, all of whom advised him to act in concert with the District Attorney, in bringing to light other facts whioh might tond to fasten guilt whore it properly bolonged. After this tho Doctor visited Mrs. Cunningham occasionally, and finally agreed to aid her in com passing her ends. On this occasion it was also ar ranged that Dr. Catlin should officiate as tho ac couohant of Mrs. Cunningham. SHE SAYS DR. COOPER 11 IN HER POWER. Being in a happy mood at that ume, and doubt less believing that she would ultimately succoed in recovering all tho property left by Dr Burdell, Mrs. Cnnningham remarked that she had Dr. Cat lin completely in her power, and oould use him as she likod, or language to that effect. It might not ho amiss to state here tharDr. Catiin was tho physician who attended tho late Mr. Cunningham during his last illness in Brooklyn, some years ago. Ills death was sudden, and since the Burdell murder many have been so uncharitable as to ex press a belief that Mr. Cunningham did not die a natural death. THE COURTS. CounT of Quarter Sessions— Judge Allison. — Habra « Corpus.—' The cose of the Commonwealth v. Mullin, which was partially hoM yesterday on habeas corpus, was postponed till Saturday, in consequence or tho absence of Dr. Dnffy and ex- Coroncr Goldsmith. William Stevensou pleaded guilty to the larceny of a pair of shoos from the auction store of Broker & Marsh. Bontenoo dofemd. Ann Fegan was charged with tho larceny of money and property—value s3o—the propertyof Alice Walsh. Verdict guilty. Sentence deferred. Gcorgo Unger was charged with an assault and battery on Caroline Unger. Verdict guilty. Sen tence deferred. Trial for Conspiracy—Extraordinary Case of Delusion— A Prophetess in Court .—Perhaps one of tho most extraordinary eases of delusion and swindling that this country has produced, was developed to-day, in the course of the trial of Anna Meister, called tho Prophetess, and who pro fanely styled borself the sister of Jesus Christ, the organ of tho Holy Ghost, and who assumed to have the control of Heaven and Hell over her de luded followers. Wo give a description of her ap pearance as wo saw it in Court, as it may interest some of our roadors. She is a German by birth, about 28 or 30 yoars of age, and rather prepos sessing. She is about the middle height, and eyes of a dullish gray color, with a decidedly cunning ex pression. She has a profusion of light brown hair, whioh she woars in ringlets,'and * which serves to give her a more youthful appearance than wouia ho warranted by a closer examination, one was vory neatly dressed in a light summer muslin,with, a straw bonnet, white ribbons and flowers. She wos perfectly composod during the trial, and Its toned to the evidonoe with great attention. Some of the testiinory caused her to smile, and sometimes she beoarae quite Indignant, ana said, In an audible tone, and in good English, 'Unftva not so.” Her companion*, named Caroline Muller and Caroline Werner, are common place looking Germans of the lowest class, and, as the evidence disclosed, wero evidebtfy.aied as her tools. The Court _was crowded witL her victims, whom she Appears to barb fleeced oat .of every species of ar ticles, from a gold - watch/to a bedspread. They are all Germans, and apparently in comfortable circumstances. > Judge Parsons appeared for the prosecution, and Edgar E. Pettit, Esq., for the defendants. > Judge Parsons opened the case briefly by saying it was a case of extraordinary delusion; that by spiritual ism and pretended revelations from heaven, and pretending to be the sister of Jesus Christ, she gathered a numbor of followers about her; that she used her pretended powers for the purpose of fraud, and that through the influence she obtained over her deluded victims, she secured many arti cles of jewelry and wearing apparel; that she employed Muller and Werner as her tools in this matter, and through their means several persons wore defrauded of their money, among toe rest Christian Timmerman, who is the principal witness for the prosecution. The first witness called was— Margaret Most, sworn—l lived on German town Road abont ten years; I know the defen dants ; the first tixpe I knew Airs. Miller she came over to our shop, a year ago; she asked me if I had heard Anna Meixter preach; she told me she knew a woman who preached, but she did not preach hersetf, but God on the Holy Land preached through her; I said could any one hear her; she said the whole world could hear her; I asked if there was any thing to pay; ebs said no. she could not take any money; I went to hear her preach; I went down to Southwark, where Anna MeU ter lived; she was all dressed in silk; I made an apology to the company that I was dressed so plain; me said you must go dressed; this was the first Sabbath I went down there; Anna Meister did something with her eyes, and Anna Muller did something with her hands; Anna Aleister read something from a book, to the effect that she was sent from God to hear everything that was going on here; that this was near the end of the world; I wont the next Sunday, and heard her say she S reached from heaven, and that everybody was amnod that did not go down to hear her; I went there every Sunday for about six months; she preached every time from heaven; Catherine Mnl ler was always there. Question.—yfhai did sho tell you to give her? Question objected to, on the ground that it was not evidence; that the bill charged these defend ants with defrauding only. Question overruled. After I put confidence in her I went there every Sunday; I saw Mr. T., and his daughter there.— I often saw Mrs. T., and her daughter there, and sometimes the hired girl; In the begining there was not many people there; Mrs. T., and daughter were members of tier church; they went regularly there on Sunday; I can’t say it was a regular church. Question—Did you know of Airs. T., or her daughter giving anything to Anna Meister—a silver cap. Question objected to. Question admitted. I myself, saw Miss T., buy a silver pitcher and give it to Anna Meister, and I saw one of her sons come with a little basket, and had a velvet cushion, silk stockings and other things—a black dress and a gold watch; Mrs. Aluller and Mrs. Aleiter showed a paper, and said that it was the order of God that she should have a watch and chain; the next day Mrs. Muller and Mrs. Mels tor said that an answer came from God how much each person was to give. I saw the list, and on it what every one of our neighborhood had to give; I hod no conversation with Mrs. Meister about it; the first time Caroline Nutter said that Anna Meister should fret a blue satin dress , and as soon as she got that she said she would be taken right up to Heaven; Mrs. Mailer told me that I ought to thank God that I was able to contribute something to buy the satin dress, that she would be glad she could doit; I gave her $10; A. M said there eame a great many revelations from Heaven; Ido not recollect that they came any other time; Anna Meister said toot anything that was told us we had to do. was a revelation from God; Anna Meister never asked anything from me; it was only those that clung to her that asked anything from me; Caroline Mul ler read revelations that had been received, stating what had to be done, Anna Meister did not say any thing about their declarations; it was always toe others we had no other conversation when we saw A. Meister have the watch and the dress. She did not say any thing abont it; she said you have to do all that God commands you. lam the Holy Ghost ahdif you do 'not do as you are consumed , through me, it itrill be worse for your souls when the world is at an end. She said she had the con trol of souls that onoe had been lost, and that she had been sent by God; that she had not yet the power of Jesus Christ, but she would have it after wards. This was her preaching generally. That those who did not do as she commanded, would lose all hopes of salvation, but those who made sacrifi ces toner, she hod power to strengthen and sup port. Her general discourse was that the world is now coming to an end; that it would begin with the eity of Philadelphia, and that those who would attach themselves to her would be saved; and be lieving all that sho said was true, we all did what we could for her. Cross-examined by Mr. Pettit.—l don't know how long i t U since I became acquainted with her; I went to her house to see her, and to hear her becaqjp I heard toe Holy Ghost spoke through her ; l saw the .silver cup, and the bosket, and the watch that was given her by Mrs. T.; I saw them given to her, and toe accepted them: she told me she got the silk dress from Mrs. Turner; she said a great many articles were left at her house, and that she did not know from whom they came; at the time she received the gold watch, she had it in her hand and began to cry, toe said I do not wear it for my own pleasure, but because it is the order of God; we believed her and began to ory with her, because, wo believed it to be the command of God. There were there young Mrs. T., Mrs. Muller. Mrs. Dulte and Mrs. Yeager were also there, I believe; I don’t know how long ago the watch was got; I continued to visit the house about a year; I did prosecute, not in this ease, but before Alderman Clark; I was before Alderman Enue as a titnea? I did Rot advise Mr. T. to commence a prosecution against these parties. Henry Tickle sworn—Knows Meister, Muller and Werner; knew them about a year ago; Mr. Aluller lived on Germantown Road; he used to get bread at our house; he told me about Anna Mus ter; I went down because I heard there was no charge; she said toe was sent from God, Christ was her brother, and that toe would be the third person; I helped to buy also a silver pitoher; I was told anything I gave I could get bade again when I left the Sooiety; I know that four persons gave her gold rings; Anna Meister told me that she woala require costly array to go to heaven in; I never got any money back. The things were not offered back to me; I at tended almost every Sunday for a year; she did not preach the doctrine of the Bible; she only said toe was the daughter of Jesus Christ.

The Banks of New York and Boston publish at short periods statements of their actual condition, whereby the publlo are warned of any undue expansion, acd they And in this honesty their best policy. The panic-ma kers are deprived of food by this arrangement, f® r e W<7 reader may see for himself the exact proportion that the specie held by the banks bean to their liabilities. We call the attention of the Philadelphia Banks to the ne cessity of the same system* The spirit of the age demands it, and It will come with a better *7** from the hanks of their own accord, than if forced from them by legislative enactment.

Wo clip the following from the New York Expttss: Reading sham were dull to-day, and the “ bears” were confident that still lower prices would be accepted. An idea of the value of this road can be obtained u&ch better by an analysis of its business for a nomber of years, th&n by noting the price from day to day, as effected b speculation. , The Beading Railroad has been in operation fifteen years; it has cost <l9 J63J51: its stock ant mortgages amount to <11,320,341 : 22; its bonds and all ether in debtedness are 63.

The revenue collected at the Port of Boston, for July, was as follows: For the month ending July 31,1856. For the month ending July 81,1357. The Journal of Commerce holds upon the * ( bear’’ newspapers in the following style—“ A correspondent asks how it is that the very gross and direct attacks which ore made in the columns of certain newspapers upon the various securities offered for sale in this mar ket can have any influence with the poblie, when the evil animat of the writer is so apparent. It needs but little investigation of the laws which govern the komaa mind, to furnish the answer. Where one acts from motives which he can justify to himself, or would dare to avow to the world, ten will be gore rued in their deci sions by the influences which they would be t to ' acknowledge to tneir dearest friends. A speculator in, lotteries will find his lueky number in a dream, or, a figure formed by an apple-paring thrown over his right shoulder, and many who buy and roll stocks are governed in their course by considerations <£ no more importance. There are those who will not asso ciate with a man who is pointed at, eves though they may know that the accusation is groundless: and » charge against any Corporation, however ridiculous, will prevent many from purchasing the Stock. This toe bear* know, and therefore their assaults are not nude, for the mostpart. with either reason or point, a clamor being quite sufficient to frighten the timid, and accom plish the object in view. Suppose that the compiler of a directory should take it into his head to elaarifr all the names of business men under the head of sol vent and doubtful, would not many avoid dealings with the latter, even their reason must tell them that the classification was probably made from improper motives, and was likely to prove unreliable ? And yet some compiler of sales at the stock ex change, whose legitimate business evidently nit no farther in that connection than to give a-truthl \1 re port of the quantity and price of actual transac.iocs, takes upon himself to classify the different securities, calling one good and another bad, and a plenty of fools stand agape at seeing their favorite securities in the black list! Suppose the writer honest in his classifica tion, what is bis opinion, as a unit, worth t But when, attaches to his report, are the evidences that his judg ment is biased, (to use no harsher term.) and that the opinion is therefore totally unreliable, why should it still have any influence ? Jut because many people like to honor large drafts upon their credulity, and to show the grandeur of their faMh by its iwn»»n— ca pacity to swallow the hardest morsels with the least Im brication of probability. The New York Herald of yesterday contains another fierce assault upon the Michigan Southern Railroad, and railroad securities In general. The Manhattan Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of five per cent, payable on the 10th tost.
