ftIONS OF THE TIMES.
IPo havo never known a period in the history
of this country when there was, such a direct
tendency to a consolidation of' all patriotic
men upon 1 the Constitutional platform as at
this day. , The whole horizon is full of signs.
Wo note it in tho generous moderation of
many of the leading meh of the South on the
subject .of Kansas-—generous, because while
they see, and admit, that there id to bo a new
free Stato made out, of, that Territory, they
stand steadily by the-doctrine that tho great
principle shall prevail that the majority shall
rule. Wc note it in the high-toned frankness
and'impartiality of such journals as the Boston
CokHer, St, Lonis Republican, Now York Ad
vertiser, &c,, in their views of-present party
politics. ;We‘ hote'it in'the troubles .among
the violent Republicans in Kansas. We note
it in the abrogation of all oaths and secret
bonds on ,tho. part i>f .(he ; order] bailing' itself
“ American,’? and in the prominent profession
of devotion to tho Constitution on the part of
its.leadcrs. We note it in the' prospective
breaking,up of mob-mastery in ■ Baltimore.
We note It in the iccessibn of hiariy thousands
of old-line Whigs., te the Democratic party.
These i aro,," indications- that • mean much.
Blinded partisans may hoi affect them, but wo
think they deserve to be duly-recorded and
praised.’ ■ ‘ \ '
v- ; STATE POLITICS.
General W.l\ Packer, the Democratic can
didate for Governor; will shortly address the
peopleal variouapoints. -He \yiil appear before
them under the most auspicious circumstances.
On every issue he will 1 be impregnable. Be
ginning with the federal administration, hecan
pq|nt friend and fo e to the general .welcome that
awaited its induction; and has] accompanied its
calm and constitutional progress, (jo. the Kansas
question ho is armed withtlieweaponsof truth,
and with the resultS'bf.experience. State
policy, he can point, to.,the banishment of a
VJrthlesa paper currency as' a triumph of De
mocratic statesmanship. On .the Tariff ques
tion, he can refer, to the settled and siiccess
ftil experiment of impartial ■ and 'general legis
lation. Hiiiiself,' at ali. times, the ciiimipiou
of. a liberal and. enlightened system,of-publio
’improvements; lie can ihvite every friefad of
the great lines of railroad, to, his standard.
These aro the substantial of the feast he will
spread before his hearers. ’ There will bo none
.of the persiflage of.a- mere ranter in his
speeches ;> none of the noise of an aspirant for
public 1 favor,. Who has nothing to refer to but
promises—nothing to offer, but professions.
We felicitate General Packer upon the easy
triumph before, him, ; i
Hon. Isaac Hazelhoest, the American can
didate for Governor, commences bis campaign
in a speech this evening at Harrisburg, at
Chambersburg to-morrow* at McConnellsburg
on Wednesday, and at Bedford Springs bn
Thursday! , Air. Hazeuiuhst is a Highly,re
spected citizen of Philadelphia, and although
his doctrines; except his professions of devotion
to the Constitution; are, such as wo have ever
opposed, and evor shall oppose, there are few
more plausible public speakers than bimsoif.
It is a happy thought to have him rest at Bed
ford. The pure air in that lovoly, quarter is
suggestive of reflections upon the mutability of
all human hopes, 1 and the healing waters are a
good preparation for approaching disaster.
INDIAAND CHINA,
The expected news from the'.East had ar
rived in England after , the departure of the,
Persia, ; and was telegraphed to us last night
from Quebec, wliitbor It had beeit cothteyed by
tho India, which left. Liverpool on the 29th.
July. The mutiny at Bengal was on the In
crease, and! the insurgents still held Delhi,
whence they had made several sorties, but had
been repulsed. , Id Madras the spirit of disaf
fection had made some progress among the na-
tivo troops. -AIL was tranquil at Bombay.*—'
The King of Qudo had been arrested for com
plicity iathe revolt. We also Jearn that the
'Chinese fleet hud been destroyed after two se
vere engagements* tV 1 !) refer to our telegraphic
.report.. ... * . :■
Intercourse with the Chinese.
First among the nations of Modern Earope to
open commercial relations*with the Chinese, were
tne Portuguese, who dispaUhed a'ship to Canton
in the fe&tly'part' of the sixteenth' century, theirs
,being the first European flag soon at. Canton. They
soon after established a factory at Kitigoo, and* by
the year 1500, had 'mahy trading ports and settle-
along 'the coast: their' protection
Christianity was introduced aiming the Chinese,
and met With much encotir&geinont/nhtU a series
of distasteful measures drew upon' theta the in
dignation of the people, who me-Upon .them at
Ningpo, and it is reported, destroyed upwards of
eleven thousand Chinese Christians, and eight hun
dred Portuguotei and burned thirty-five ships.
Aftor thifl {bey woro l greatly,restricted intheir
tpftde.v’; , r ; rV ~ v
Tho Portuguese, says the; Providenoe. Journal,
.b’avo pent five embassies to tho Emperor of China,
the first, being in 1517; useoondobontforty years
after,* third in 1007, and a fourth, in 1723,.which
was the .first «no that reached . Pokio. .None of
.these were successful. Presents .were given and
received,, but no; commercial, advantages wore
gained, in tho year 1763 another was sent. which
renobed Pekin.: It was conducted and ended like
its predecessors i all pf them exhibiting in a great
er ng less degree, the epeotaolenf humiliating sub
mission of. independent .nations, through thoiren
■voys,, to a court,which took pleasure in. arrogating
. and .exalting itseifion the homage it reoelvod, and
studiously avoiding all reference,to the real busi
ness,of the embassy,; that It might neither give nor
deny anything....
, .The Spaniards, opened* trade with China after
they, .bad taken Manila and the Pbillipplnes. in
1613. They font an embassy to Pokin in 1680, but
the Chinese protended net to understand their ob
ject, and sent the party back to Canton, wbero they
were imprisoned- The.comMeroo betweon Manila
and China bas been carried on ohiedy by the
Chinese, who bave emigrated in large numbers to
the.PhiUippines. The heavy taxes imposed upon
them by, and the harsh treatment they have ever
received from the Spaniards, first led the Chinese
goyermnont to retaliate on them and establish the

The tSouthorn waterlog places are crowded with
guests this season. This significant foot should not
bo lost on tho Northorn people. It is but tho he*
ginning of tho ond. Tho successful efforts of tho
Abolitionists, in persuading tho servants of the
Southorn mon to abscond, have determined hun
dreds; who have heretofore made Saratoga, Now*
port, Sharon, Cape May, and other summer resorts
in-the'-North, 'their resting plocos'/to patronise
their own cool retreats in the mountains. It would
be well for the proprietors of all the plaoes referred
to, in tho free States, to prepare in time for next
Beaaon, because the loss of Southern assistance will
be most diffioqlt to supply.
It is true that Bedford Springs, in Pennsylvania,
is crowded to excess; but it must be reoollected that
Pennsylvania has not been so conspicuous.in these
attompts to abduct the servants of Southerners
possing thrpugh the State. It must also be remem
bered that Bodford Is directly on tne border of
Maryland, aud not far from Virginia. ,
Iu the meanwhllojiho White Sulphur Springs, the
Red Sulphur Borkoly, Ac., &0., are in the hands
of shrewd and aotivo mon, who will nofchesitate, ou
their part, to take advantage of this state of things,
and to attract not only their own people; but to
surround themselves withfrlondsfrdmail the States
of the Union. , , > ; #
One of the most interesting men in Washington,
and the jnoat unostentatious is Peter Force, Esq.
Ilia labors as a geographer, historian, and literary
antiquarian havo made him renownod, not only in
this countiy. but throughout. the world. He lives
tho life almost of a recluse, toiling late and early
at his books. His compilations form a main ground
work of Amerioan history, and whoever shall be
come tho owner of his library will possess aprlco
less, treasure. Various suggestions have been
made as to, this fine collection of books, but no
effort should be spared by Oongres9 to seoute it.
Mr, Force is now advanced in years, and I have no
doubt has himself thought of this subject. My im
pression is that ho would prefer that the United
States should become the purchaser. '
The question shortly to be decided is this j What
now ground will tho opposition loaders to the De
mocratic party assume? Their grapple with the
lion of Nationality hhs proved too much for them.
Their overthrow in 1850, in a oonteet on which they
risked everything, has not only given triumph to
the friends of the Constitution, but has ooparated
from their own standard thousands find tens of
thousands of disenchanted men—men who long for
peace, and who are ready to compromise upon tho
settlement of this eternal slavery question. So
far as tho tariff question is concerned, they oan
make no capital out of it.
Tho manufacturers of iron in Pennsylvania are
oontent with the tariff as it stands." Mr. Buchanan
is pledged against all special legislation,and should
an effort be made' by the land jobbers and railroad
speculatorsTo remove all duty on railroad iron I
have no doubt it will receivo, as It will deserve to,
aatornohocki Our friends ip v Congress will have
good support,from the representatives of Missouri
and Michigan, and, if Minnesota bo admitted ’into
the Union at tho next session, os I am led to be
lieve she: will; from the representatives of that hew
State whoso rich fields of iron are rapidly and
profitably, dbvoloped and who have become in ooh
sequenoe deeply concerned iu whatever effects this
great Americau interest.
' On the’subject of the distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands, there ban be no oontost. That
was tried in'Virginia, in North, Carolina and,in
Tennessee at the late elections, but as we have
seen, it was a millstone around tho neck of every
man who resorted to it. As to a road uniting the
Mississippi and tho Paoiflc ocean, Mr. Buchanan’s
California letter, prior to tho olection, has removed
that from tho arena of party strifo, leaving it to be
settlod ilpon broad and constitutional principles.
Tho Amoiicans .themsojycsihave grown tired of
thoir secrcsy and‘ their oaths, and every day will
make them still more tired of their attaokß on the
foreigner and the Catholio Church. !
On the question of currency, the Jaokson-Beuton
idea of tho precious metals for the paymentof labor
and the transaction of business, is a fixed fuot.
Banks—and tho mention of tho word, and consid
ering the magnificent and gorgeous marble edifices
erected of late in our large cities for banking pur
poses, recalls to my mind tho expressive oompari
son of Edgar A. Poo, that they were like a beauti
ful ancient statue which fascinated all beholders
by its dazzling loveliness, but wbich/wbon broken,
was found to be stuffod with rags To return
Banks are passing away, leaving tho entire paper
system in the hands of those who do not employ it
as a circulating medium, but as a moans for the
payment of largo sums of money from parties in
one plaoe to othors at adistanoo.
What then will Mr. Seward qnd Mr. Weed and
Mr. Greeley resort to ? What is their plan for the
next,Congress? that is the question. If therfcwere
a'Qlay or a Webster to Had the opposing-columns,
a personal party, such as followed Ibe fortunwqf
thb formor, might be erected, and legions of men.
would follow such’a leader, simply because he was
a gallant and glorious intellect. ' i
But unhappily the weakest part of the republi
can policy has been Mapersonnel , aud if they cannot
revive upon a prejudice or a‘passion, their occupa
tion, like Othello’s, will bo gone X. V.

dore is gratified to inform the Department that-so
far they have been abTo to maintain thelrneutrali

pressure of our sympathising countrymen. Frop
tho enormous foMo tho English are collecting on
that station, and the arrangements thoy l aro making
for its permanency, it is clear that China Is to be
compelled to throw oti her exclusiveness. The En

MRS. CUNNINGHAM'S CASE.
Tho CunninghAm faroe still occupies the atten
tion of the authorities. Mr. Stafford, counsel for
the accused, has submitted to Justice Davison his
points on a motion to bail- Tho counsel holds that
the circumstances of tho cAse, as shown by the pre
liminary affidavits, obviously indicate that no
objeot can exist for any attempt to escape from
trial on the part of Ihe prisoner, and claims that
she should, therefore, be admitted to bail in a lust
and reasonable hut not excessive amount. The
Eoints were submitted to the magistrate at a late
our on Friday night. Not being able to give
them thpt attention yet which he supposed the
interest of the case demanded, he determined to let
the matter lay' over until Monday." At three
o’clock to-morrow afternoon Justice Davison will
decide either to admit Mrs. Cunningham to bail or
to send her to prison forthwith.
rOINTS OP THE ACCUSED'S COUNSEL ON MOTION TO
The People vs. Emma A. Bnrdell.— The fol
lowing points were submitted to Justice Davison at
a late hour on Friday night. Not being able to
give them thorough attention, he has decided not
to render any decision until Monday, when he an
nounces bis determination to render the decision at
d o’clock on the afternoon of that' day.
1. The presumptions of law aro always in favor
of tho innocenco of the party acoused, and without
an extended argument on the precise charge here
made is not.proved as a matter of law.
Ist. Either that tho accused has fraudulently
produced an infant within the meaning of the
statute. (2 B. S. 861, seo. 61.)
' 2d. Or made an attempt so to do, (2 R. S. 81,' sec
3, subdivleon 2.) '
> £l. It is the duty of the magistrate to admit to
hall (unless prohibited by statute.) In all cases,
unless some very strong reasons, exist to the con
trary, to refuse it in a bailable case is an offence
in itself at common law. (4 Blaokstone 29T.)
‘ The Justice acts judicially, and not ministerially
only. His discretion is swayed by legal CQURiderv
tions, and ball shall be taken even after convic
tion of misdemeanor of a high graded provided
the appearance of the prisoner be rendered sure,
and legal doubts exist as to guilt. (People vs.
Johnson, 2 Barbour 450. ~
‘ ; The Justice has at the present stage of the case
<;ho same power (R. S. 892 see. "23) which the Court
oi' Oyer and Terminer.(2 R. S. 893, sec. 33) and the
Court of Seasons (11R. 8. 893, seo. 33) would have
to bail the prisoner if before them.
The Court of Oyer and Terminor has power in any
oase before indictment, and the Sessions in all cases
there triable.
» The offence charged not being a oapital one, it is
admitted the right to bail will not be denied on the
preliminary proof.
Ut. The circumstances of the case as shown by
tho preliminary affidavits obviously indicate that
no object can exist for any attempt to escape from
trial on the partof the prisoner. • Her situation and
her interests combine to the contrary.
She should therefore be admitted to bail in ajust
and reasonable, but not.excessive amount. (R. S.
49 and 303. Wm. R. Ssafford, of Counsel. *

i The St. Louis. Republican of. the 6th, gives the
following account of the late terrible outrages at
Leavenworth City, which hAve already been briefly
noticed by Telegraph ju The Press. It says;
, “From what we learned, and our information
comes from good authority—an eye-witness—it ap
pears that there has been a regularly organized band
of ruffians, desperadoes and thieves*, for some time,
infesting the city and neighborhood. Thoy have
mode a profitable business of killing strangers,
rubbing them and throwing their bodies into the
river to avoid detection. Several strangers, known
to have been possessed of money, have very mys
teriously disappeared lately, and no one was able
to account for tneir absence
On Friday last a man nam-id Stephens went
from Kansas City to Leavenworth and presented a
check for one hundred and oight dollars at the
bank, and received the money. He was seen to
qount his money by a man named Quarles, who
kept a sambtiug house in Leavenworth, and who
dntioed Stephens to a spring, near the town, under
some pretence, and where they were promptly met
by some members of the gang. Stephens was im
mediately killed and his money taken from him.
His body was then thrown into the river; From
.fiuneiimaxpUDwi 4&uso Quarles, gave (the alarm
that he and Stephens had both been robbed. Ha
tated, moreoYor. thbt tho eecumnco took place at
he aforesaid spring near town, and that Stephens
had beeu killed.
Some citizens suspecting that all was not right,
took Quarles into custody. And proceeded to the
spring where the murdered man was discovered,
and also some of the gang, whd were arrested on
the spot. M ■' •
' One of the arrested parties, a young man, quite
a youth, made a full confession, of the murder of
Stephens, and also exposed numerous achievements
of uie gang.
1 The crowd of citizens took Quarles and a' man
named Bayse, and kept them until they had such
evidence as they thought sufficient to convict them
of being implicated in the numerous murders re
cently committed in tho community’.
After some deliberations, and hearing a speech
from Judgo Leeompte, who endeavored to quiet the
excitement, tho crowd, fearing, interference from
troops at the fort, took Quarles to a tree below town
and hung him. Soon after Bayse shared ‘ the same
fate. "
-On Sunday, as tho boat passed down, the ring
leaders of the gang—& man named Wood and an*
other nampd Knight, or Knighton—were in the
hands of the oitisena, and were to he hung in the
evening. Wood was making hi* 1 will, »nd Knight
Was writing a oonfeasion. Wood is supposed to
possess a considerable amount of property—pro
bably the proceeds of hi* diabolical deeds.
. 1 names of those who were implicated by the
young man who confessed were unknown. Some
twelve or thirteen citizens, however, wore missing
when Bearohod for on Saturday. '
The citizens of Leavenworth appear to be de
termined to lynoh every one found connected with
this band. The entire community approve of and
sanction tho course pursued in regard to the hang
ing of Quarles and Isaysc.,
. Fuhtheb Phocebdlso3 or Judge Lynch at
Lea vekwortu. —The St. Louis Republican of the
6th states that tho Steamer Hesperian, which ar
rived from the Missouri river, reports having been
at Leavenworth City on Sunday night lash when
our informant went up into the town, a Vigilance
Committee were trying Wood and KniGStox for
being connected with the late murder, and a very
large orowd were awaiting their decision. The
supposition was that Wood would be hung that night
and the greater part of the people were anxious for
hU execution. At about .101 o’clock, p. m., the
Mayor' appeared before the orowd, and advised
them to disperse, with the promise of giving the
prisoners a fair trial on the succeeding day.
After his speech a small .portion of the crowd
left—the greater part remaining to hear the decis
ion of the Committee. 1 In a few minutes after the
Committee appeared, and stated their unwilling
ness to hang the men before giving them a fair aud
impartial trial. After this the crowd dispersed,
ana a guard was placed over the prisoners.
American aud English Agriculture;
At tho recent meeting of the Royal Agri
cultural Society, of England, Lord Portman
introduced a guest, Mr. French, tho Vice Pre
sident of the Agricultural Society of the
United States, to the audience. Mr. French,
who was well received) said his mission to
England was ,principally agricultural) and bo
had loft his own country with that Yankee
spirit of inquiry to spy out the land elsewhere.
La two months he bad observed carefblly dur
ing that time the differences that were mani
fest in this country between its agrleuUure aud
that of America. .He observed a more
thorough, a more systematic course of agri
culture, a better system, a more profitable,
a more money-making system. That differ
ence was the result of certain facts which
he would point out. Tho first was, that land
in America was very cheap,, it could be
bought there for fire shillings an acre.
Land being so choap was not so well culti
vated, and was generally worked for present
profit, and as soon as tho present profit ceased
it was left, and a new pieco of land was pro
cured. Another fact was, that for tho labor on
the land 2s. was paid in America for Is. in
England. The price of /abpr in New' England
was 6a. a day, that was, he thought, the lowest
estimate, ana he thought that was double the
average price paid forhborinEngiaud,sotbat
they would see that the Americans were em
barrassed in their operations by the price of
labor, but from the wOdo of cultivation they
could not afford to lay #ut the kind oi 'labor
that was laid out in FingJuuL He might be
allowed to boast a little, as they had, he was
glad to say, taken the first prtye fo? mowing
machines; that was a proof, not that they had
superior and better genius, but another illus
tration of that maxim thatnecessity is the
niother of invention.” If they had been
obliged to pay 7s. a day for mowing their hay,
as ho had apno on his farm In America, he
thought, like Yankees, lU&y would have set
themselves down and thought a little more
sharply upon this subject.
The Yankee sat down thinking he barf got
7s. a day to pay, and his acres must be put,
apd so he set to work to construct a machine
and beat all England. The position of agri~
culture in .America might bo illustrated by the
case of aperson who had no money, and whose
only capital, was,a tolerable education; he
could read, write, and cypher, or <^£al^iulato, ,,
as the Yaukeea call It, and he goes Into the
wilderness. He could not. sit down and read
books; his business Js with the Question of how,
bread is to be provided. 1 fie cannot consldor
what is best for posterity and what is tho best
system of agrioulturfef but Ihe question is,
how caa lie get maintenance for noxfc year for
his wifo and children. Then he must build a
houses and if he has uny neighbors they help
him .to build a log house, and it is. built in a
day,. wWch owirers ibis purpose very well.,
'Then he hart an occasional fight or brash with
the Indians, and, further, he had a variety of
I matters to attend to, such as making his
fenced‘and bj-isja % gets settled, if he
does, not go west as he'fcenerally does two or
three times, and so he gWs on improving the
land* The farms, in America are one vast set
tlement, and howjmight land there was he did
not know, but when he left home there were
thirty-one States, and how many there were
now he really did not know. To give an in
stance of the mode ol progreess, twenty-five
years ago there was a place where there was a
wilderness in which there was nothing but a
few fishing houses, and the other day the in
habitants numbered at least 110,000- ; Then,
too, they, made roads—the farmers -pioneer—
and in the State of Illinois, according to a
recent statement,, thc-ye were 2660 miles of
railway in that one single State; so that get
ting the land gradually cultivated they had a
country with the Atlantic on one side, the Pa
cific on the Other, the Gulf of Mexico on
another, and the very best kind of neighbor,
in Canada, on the North.
THE CITY.
The Sabbath Morn.-- The golden haze is in
the East. The azure dome above is unstirred
through all its vast profound. Peace is enthroned
upon all the fleecy clouds, and gently they float
upon thebosom of the sky. Still are earth and air.
The waters seem to heed the hush, and to murmur
more softly as they flow. The city answers to the
quiet of nature. Silence is upon the lately busy
haunts and thronged ways. Hark! a sound
breaks, but does not mar the stillness—there is
music in the air—the Sabbath bells are ringing.
Sweetly their tones go forth with their wooing
welcome unto all: —“ Come, oome up hither; come
up unto worship.” Years agone the voices were
the same; and thus they spoke on the old Sab
baths unto many over whose graves their musio
now mingles with the breeze of morn. Fromdoorr
way after doorway, they step who are going to the
house of prayer, In the mood of .pleasant con
verse thoy wend their way, while, the bells keep
sweot companionship* “ The best that hath come
down with centuries” is around. It is the hour of
purest joy, when Faith
“ Doth lift her brow
And talk with angels, till the listening soul,
That, by the thraldom of the week, was bowed
To weariness, doth, like the enfranchised slave,
Leap up to put ita glorious garments on.”
Launch of the Shubrick. —The light ship
Shubrick was launched on Saturday afternoon, at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, at three o’clock.
Through the politeness of Commander Lee, a nam*
ber of persons were on board.- She is one hundred'
and fifty feet in length, and was builtln onemonth. ;
This iB another .proof what our Philadelphia ship
builders can do. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen witnessed the launoh.
The New Bask*.—The second instalment on
the stock of the Commonwealth Bank is being ra
pidly paid up. The Commissioners called fprits
payment between the Ist and sth inat., but in con
sequence of many of the subscribers being absent
from the city, it was impossible to eolleetthe entire
amount, aggregating upwards of 9145,000. The
greater portion, however, of the second instalment
has been paid up. On the 16tb of next month, the
Commonwealth Bank will go into operation in that
portion of the Philadelphia Bank buildup south
west corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, occupied
by Mr. W. H. Patton, wall-paper dealer. Robert
Morris, Esq., editor of th e' Pennsylvania Inquirer,
will undoubtedly be selected as its President.
The Commissioners of the Corn Exchange Bank
have also called in the second instalment on the
oapital flock of that institution, payable between
the 7th ins*, and September 16th. The location of
this bank has not been determined.
The Commissioners of the Union Bank continue
to receive subscriptions on Saturdays from ten to
twelve o’etook, at the room, third story of Gridon’s
Building,' corner of Third and Arch streets. The
second instalment will dot be o&Ued in for a fort
night or longer. The location of the bonk will be'
on the west side of Third street, below Arch.
It will be remembered that the last Legislature
authorized an- increase of the capital stock of the
Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Bank,of $700,000.
Of this amount, the directors several days ago
offered $300,000 for sale, and up to Saturday about
$270,000 had been subscribed for, and paid in/ '
Toy Balloons.— •UT© see it stated, that these
novel playthings, now so abundant in our city, may,
become dangerous articles by the introduction,
through the pores of the vnld&nfxed rubber of which
the covering is made, of atmospheric air, which,
uniting with the gw contained in the envelope, pro
duces an explosive mixture analogous to fire' damp.
If by chance ignited, the effects might be fearful;
another danger is the liability to Inhale the poison
ous gas, should & boy attempt to reinflato his partly
exhausted balloon with air from his lungs.
Suspicious Case.—Ann. Jau> Bobbie, ages! 43
years, died suddenly in Bedford' Street, above Se
venth, on Saturday. In consequence of a report that
she died from til treatment at the hands of her hus
band, the latter was arrested, and a post mortem
of body of ,Ue womaa nude by
order of the Coroner. Tho jury will mpet again
this morning.
The rains of last week have had a most beoe
ilcihl ?ffeet on the com, and the crop may now he
considered as secure froiq.dronght. Potatoes have
also been vastly benefited, and. an abundant yield
is confidently expected.
Fires .—Yesterday afternoon the roof of a
three story brick building, No. 14 Cypress alley,
occupied by Frederick* Hartman, Cabinet-ihaker,
was slightly damaged by fire.
[ Yesterday morning, shortly after 4 o’clock, a
stable in Pagoda street, between Green and
Coates, and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Streets,
was dlepovered to bo on fire. Tbe property was
owned by S. Clay. Loss $2OO. No insurance.
■ Between one and two o’clock yesterday morning,
two frame dwellings, situated at Front and York
streets, owned by Mr.Wm.Elliott, were destroyed by
fire. Loss $BOO, on which there is a fair insurance.
About twolve o’clock on Friday nighty afire
broke out In a boiler shop at the machine works of
Merrick A Sons, Washington street, First Ward.
The roof of the shop was the only property do-*
stroyed. The loss is t ally covered by insurance. ■
With a view to tho still,farther security of pro
perty from the insidious depredations of the incen
diary, the Mayor has issued instructions to tho Po
lice, to arrest all persons prowling by night in the
vicinity of property which may offer temptations to
the malicious. There aft many oharaeteft of this
kind in tbe city, and it seems'that the Intention is
in future to dispose of them in a summary manner.
Id case no direct charge of arson can bo brought
.agsinst jbem, they will bo placed. under heavy
bonds as toafws and vagabonds.
Likeness of Qen» Wti}> F. Packer.— tWq ob
serve in a number of tho itor# windows;on our
principal streets, a spirited lithographic likeness of
the next Governor of Pennsylvania, William F.
Packer. There is a kindly, benevolent, true-heart
ed expression about the countenance, which be
speaks a man of quiet conscience, whoso <' heart is
in the right place;" The full and well-developed
forehead, if there is any troth In phrenology, indi
cates fine perceptive qualities and strong common
sense.
Abolition Convention. —We learn that mea
sures have been adopted with a view of holding a
“ Convention of Liberals," in this city, on tbe
first Monday of next month. Wm. Lloyd Garri
son, J. Miller MoKim, LuereiU Mott, and other
equally celebrated personages will, of «ou»e, be
present. Tho proceedings of tbe last assemblage
of this character in Philadelphia, were very dis
orderly and disgraceful. _ ,
Political. —Ths cord of “ union” of the
Republicans and Americans in this eity is spun of
glass, and will not bear rough usage. We have
heard that there is an inclination on the part of
some of the “straight-out delegates ” to bolt from
the Convention, which will assemble this after
noon, at % o’clock, at the County Court House.
The movements and plans of parties in this alli
apee indicate false prstonce and gross deception
on both aides..
The Lean* Target Company, Capt. Hesser,
will parade this afternoon, for target practice.
The Minute men of ’75, Caspar H. fiqrry jriU
leave this eity at 8} o’clock on the morning Of the
17th inst., for Greagor’sFarm, Montgomery county,
Pa., where they will spend the day. Before
leaving, a magnificent medal of solid gold, orna
mented with a raised bust of Washington, halo,
military emblems, Ac., and also a splendid national
flag, will ho presented to the company by the
friends of the Minute Men residing in Spring Gar
den, Kensington, aud Northern .During
the day Captain Berry will be profited by hU
friends of Montgomery county with a superb
sword. This beautiful weapon is made in accord*
nijee with the United States regulation, is hand
somely jaunted with gold, and coat over $5OO.
' Destruction uf [fte Canines. —This morning
Capt. Jim Francis will renew ifoy work of capturing
all unmuzzled canines found upon our prijl/c thor
oughfares. On Wednesday or Thursday* Jim will
go to Beading, at the request of tbe Mayor of that
place. • 1

THE MONEY MARKET.
PaiLxnstPHU, August 8,1657.
Our short article of Tuesday lost upon the decline of
the stock of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company,
has elicited far more attention than usually falls to the
lot of similar remarks. Among others, we notice an
editorial of two columns in the New Jersey Signal of
Thursday, in which an attempt is made to place ns in
the position cf an assailant of the Company and its ma
nagement, which, under all the circumstances, is simply
ridiculous. Yft ate now, u we have long been, upon
the best terms with the officers of the company, as they
are aware, and we desire to hare those relations conti
nue. We own no share of stock in any railroad or in
any bank, we hare all o&r means embarked in the sin
gle enterprise of Tss Puts, and we devote our
whole energies to the task of tnairing Tag Pazss accept
able to our readers and of use to all who may consult its
columns for any purpose whaterer. We hare no desire
and bo intention either to depress or elevate the stock
of any corporation In the land, and we Shall neither lend
ourselves to those who wish to use us,or
press what we deem to to truth through Year or through
favor from any quarter.
What we said upon tho subject of Dr. Foote’s Yeati
taton was the result of our honest convictions of tho
success and benefits of that contrivance, and our regret
that an improvement was not in general use upon tho
railroads in New Jersey, which kept a ear, under our
own observation upon » dusty rsilread, entirely
from dust and cinders, and the temperature twenty de
grees lower than it was outside, upon one of the betted*
days of summer.
At another time and place we may have again
to refer to the merits of this invention. At present, our
business is with the Camdanand Amboy Railroad -
and its decline in prise at-the stock board. It seemed
to ns a sufficient explanation of the Call of this
that tbe company had made at a time when all
were ruling high, and iti stock was aeQing at HO, «£{-
vidend of twenty percent, la stock and four per cent. In
cash, upon both the new mid old stocks. If the owner
of a share of stock worth $lOO at par ißdgUU&tbe
market, received 120 in new stock and s4Joina taah -
dividend, and was then able to sell his stock at $lOO in
the market, after a general destine In sioeks, there could
certainly tono reason fa* apprehension on his part, « ;
that of othsr stockholders, aad sarcasmferthftbcddftrt,
who had bought the stock for an investment, to *"»>»
sacrifice by throwing it upon the market at a of
depression.
It seems to us, however, from the showing of fit*
signal, that the Company wastes fifty thousand doilais
per annum upon dead heads in New Jersey alone, irfcr
more likely to injure tbe Company, than ourexpreafcm
of an opinion that the fares were too low upon, aooaa eg
the trains, and that the Company were carrying their
desire to benefit the public to an extent not altogether
compatible with the true interests of the
We have no desire to enter into a controversy upon
this or toy other subject connected with stocks held by
our citizens or sold iu oar markets. . We shall watch th»
movements of the day, and report upon them what we
