; •' THE GOODWOOD CUP. 1
ihe.Uup at. Good Wood took
place on a fine day, it seems, when the course'
was Ingood condition. Therefore, the Aine
rican horses did,not lose, as we fancied mjght
/have been’ the; case, from the' course being

,?Ol great trial, of strength, with the American,
French, aSd English horses imparted an addi

Prioress cbne td England with a vast reputa.
Uon, while Florinjmd Monafquo wero noturi
known tp fame.. The Americans regarded' the
success..of. one, of theip horses with no little
confidence,napd, it most be . confessed, that,
although Prior ahd' Prioress were defeated,
they were apt disgraced. "The horse lathbred
considerably l on 'being/ stripped, • but he ran
fight np ln front to the'distahee, where Prior-,
■esi, too, lopked so formidable that a shout of
“ Wbat against the Arpcricans V’ was raised
by many voices. It was/reaerved for France,
however, tO bear off the honors of the day—

‘Sfcaitist thb'American h'orses, of having* been
accustomed to run on a hard course, and ap
pearing, for the first time, at Goodwood, on
the actual turf. That English, jockeys would
not have dealt fitirly with the American cattle,
ilf they rode them, iB not a correct idea. .These
meh'ride for a character as well as credit, and

under a British pilot that the yacht America
beat.the ’swiftest craft of England. ‘
RECO!YCU.EMEIVT COURTS.
In “The heart ot Midlothian” is a reguiar ras
eal called Ratolipfe, who, after having been
twice or thrive almost within the grasp : of the
turns thief-catehOr and turnkey at the
end, betraying, arresting, and imprisoning his
former accomplices. Lord BnqnouAit is a sort
of iegaIIiATOUFFE. He realized a large fortune
at tho Nisi Prius bar, as counsel lor parties in
suits, and now, in bia old age, a pensioned ex-
Cbancellor,: he eadeavora ' to. sacrifice the
lawyers, by serving the public. He, would
throW'downthe ladder by which he mounted.
He would reduce costs to a reasonable limit.
He would curtail tjie charges (and incomes) of
the attorneys, He would bring Law doWn to a
small price—hay, lie would even abolish suits
of law I
~ His hobby, at present—in which a great
many peoplo in England back him—is to con
stitute Courts (there aro
such in Prussia, we beiievo,) to which all
disputes shall be referred.- They would pre
rvent' unnecessary litigation, he thinks. He
says that much injury was suffered in society
'from litigation,'which might be prevented,
and that actions commenced, it might be in
anger or in error, were often continued
through feelings of pride or resentment. He
added, that , the; examiners of tho Court of
, Chancery had stated that the great majority of
casOa which came before them either, had been
originally, or.in the course/of the suits had
resolved themselves into, mere questions of
costs, and had thus hocome the attorneys’
actions rather than those of the nominal plain
tiffs and defendants.
AJl'this is very well; but what arc lawyers to
do if lawsuits ore thus nipped in the bud ?-
All yery Well for the publio—but for the poor
attorneys wliat a "prospect! Starvation will
stare them in the thee, and they may qomplain,
with Othello, that their occupation isj gone!—
Lord Beouoeam evidently is amanwho endea
vor sto forgot thatho once was very glad to hold a
brief in any lease,' Courts of Reconcilement, in*
deed (' By-the*by, if this goes on, we shall see
the bar dwindle down to a, bagatelle. A new
generation of lawyers, will , arise, who will
scarcely believe that in one case, (which orlgi
jially,. might' have been arranged in half an
hour or so, had the parties met under suitable
guidance,) the late Lord Tatmo, then the
Sergeant Wilde, received a fee of £B,OOO with
his brief. This was the Small and Attwood
.case, in which the litigation spread over nearly
three years, and in which over £50,000 went
among lawyers and witnesses!

Victoria (Texas) Advocate says: -Dr. Fretwcll, of

Augpst 11,1857.
, ! TDJEJ WBTMOBB PBTB,
Grayly pawned the morning of the great fete of
Monday, and many an anxions look was oast at
clouds much bigger than a man’s hand. The day
was, lowering, and the moot point was, “ is it a fog
.or rain?” the day wore on in the'uncertainty of
gloom. Decidedly It wilt not rain now, and at one
P. M. was the high-tide of scurrying hair dressers
and distrooted ohambrieres. The battle of art was
begun—Newport was at the toilette. At three, car
riageafter oarringe appeared at the hotel doors; at
half-past, the Bret flounoes dawned on the horizon;
thicker and thiokerthey oame, till at four the rood
to Mr. Wetmore’s was a mass of flying vehicles.
Soon the.queue was made, and by half-past four
carriages in hundreds were depositing the guests on
the ooean side of Chateau sur Mer. This is tho
back entrance—too small for such a pile; but there
Is no time for taking notes or making reflections.
Tho lady in front remarks curtly, that your foot is
on her.flounce, instead of its native heather; the
lady behind begs pardon sharply, and disentangles
her guipure mantle from your protruding button.
On and on sweeps tho crowd; a hasty bow to
the host, a half curttcy to the hostess, and you are
irresistibly impelled in the line of, tnaroh through
the wide piam enclosed for- tfye occasion, and into
a cOvfercd Vay leading to the vast tent where, the
Germania; are already in. full blast, and enough
areMsembled to fIU wUhou>t,crowding the beauti
ful danOlng-toom. What a dazzling sight it la l
Women in- eyery variety of dress flitting about,
with bright eyes and gay faces. At first it seems a
mere mass of color, like a gorgeous tulip-bed; by
degrees yofl learn to break the whole into detail,
and separate the soene into parts; The Ugh! was
most favorable, for it wasolondy without shadows;
the pretty looked beautiful—the plain passed for
classic. Nature, in beneficent mood, bod given
this crowning excellence where money and will
stopped, short. The, arrangements, made with a
lavish hand,, left nothing to desiro; it was evi
dently a success. The first waits begins, and tho
crowd .slowly gives ground to tho sappers and
miners of the regiment of dancers. The privileged
holdback. The first, dance is usually a fruit of
benevolence; there is no entrain. Wo must wait
awhile, and walk farther round into the tont.
There is Mine. S l,of the corps diplomatique ,
tall and well dressed, with her party, Mrs. Sr —t
and Miss T 1* That daTk-ey ed elega w te in violet
, brocade and point lace is Mrs. K e, whoso un
rivalled dejeuner some two years baok was, pro
bably, father to the thought of this feto.
, That beautiful woman in white silk, with bonnet
trimmod with purple, is Mrs. L e. That sweet,
young-looking creature, is Mrs. W. D—-n, whose
rich dress alone stamps her as marriod. Mrs. J.
K if, in greon and white brocade, and hor love
ly sister, Miss G. 0 n, are among the 'fairest.
Miss O.’a dress of green and white tarlotan, with
her long, fair curls j recalled Undine. Mias K-—y,
in two skirts of white silk, odged with plfck, looked
oalm and serene in her quiet beauty. Miss P——e,
of South Carolina, was charming in white and bluo.
Miss C—-r-s, of New York, In currant colorod and
white muslin, with a coquettish bonnet of the same
colors, had invaded the married ladies’ provinco,
and danced bonnet and all; so did Miss H—n, of
Paris notoriety, who wore a lilao spotted thin mus
lin, with ohip bonnet trimmod to correspond, but,
decidedly, the innovation Was less appropriate than
tho simplor head-goar of tho other®. Miss. H n
wore her hair In blown-up curie, too trying to admit
of A'correot judgement as to what her beanty, un
adorned, might be; certainly with her amphithea
tre of curU she looked repose, and did not take
rank among home beautlos. Tho L&noors are
played, and straightway set upon Sot are formed,
and this decidedly fashionable* danoe warms up the
party.
Tho Lancers has the immense advantage of being
a compromise." The ultra fash onablea meet the ultra
proper on common ground between the Polka and
,Quadrilie—tbe oldest inhabitant greets with ’ a
Smile and a sigh the figure wbieh recalls the min
uet d<l la oOur. J Tho curtsey, that touchstone of
gface, has heen too long out 6f fashion to bo well
done; but in the visiting figure the attempered bow
is jmceessfuib -Vlvb ics Lknoiers i ■ And now tho fray
D?uxtemps succeed each dthor, and of
bright eyes and light dresses becomes bewildering.
Presontly tbero is a percept bio swaying towards
one side of tho tent, and MissW., the hostess, on
the arm of Mr. Peabody, in whoso honor t|ie feto
is given, slowly passes through the crowd, and then

guests to see thebuffet. All do not reaoh it, but
the refreshment tent is thronged with the
ourious and the hungry. Every thing Is thore
in profusion—grapes in wild abnnd&noe from
Mr, W.’s own grapery, oysters end pate 3,
salmon a la tartare, and countless broods of
chickens in mayonna so, champagne at discretion—
every thing save seats 'and spaoe was to be found
at that buffet. People ought to have gone and
dotted themselves about tho lawn, but noone led the
flock, and so, with that insane perseverance which
characterizes a well-dressed mob, they kept close
to the original fountain of good, and crowded one
another aud the servantsto a jam. This, however,
is,undoubtedly part of the enjoyment of a great
festival, and pleasure is too subtle an element to
of analysis. As the space in the dancing
tent widened, other attractive faoos appeared.

oh tho sun ; there was a dress of dark silk almost
entirely covered with a homely shawl; of pink
orotchet, which had too watermelon bn effect to be
seen so often in the waltz. There were dresses too
dark and too short, and bonnets too much off
the head and ’ a few too far on; tut, ox*
oept the watermelon, these were lost in tho
successful whole. It was a brilliant entertainment
which drew crowds to Newport, and opened the

GOSSIP ABOUT THACKERAY,
The New York Times of yosterdoy has tho fol
lowing : “Wo have been favored with the perusal
of a private letter from this distinguished author
and humorist, written to a New York friend after
tho Oxford election. Ho writes in tbo best possible
spirits, and takes his defeat like a philosopher. He
made a capital run; though eeooud best in tho
race. He says ho was beaten by the Sabbatarian
cry, on whioh ho knows that fifty voters went ovor
to his opponent, (Mr. Cardwell,) who would othor
wiso have voted for him and won his elootion. As
it is, he is prouder of having shown his colors than

writing a now novel, tho ‘Virginians,’ and thinks
it not at oil unlikely that ho will run ovor to li tho

WEST INDIES,
A planter in Barbadoes calculates the excess

this year over that of last, owing to tho ad

There were disturbances at Dominica, arising
out of public dissatisfaction at tho legislation
on the subject of the rum duty. The Governor
hud been requested to dissolve tho Assembly,
but declined. Biots ensued, and some blood

St. Vincent tho cane crop, already reaped, was
extremely good. Tho great« slavo contract”
made by tho Emperor Napoleon, for a supply
of Africans for Martinique, was openly lauded
in the local papers, and an imitation of his ex
ample by England recommended as a first
means of saving her West India colonies from
ruin.
Tho Echo of tho Hague says: <,We have
now before us threo bills for the abolition of
slavery in the West Indies, just presented by
the Minister of tho Colonies to tho Second
Chamber. From a rapid examination of them,
we can affirm that they only nominally abolish
slavery—a fact which will surpriso no one when
it is known that they are based on tho ideas of
the governmental commission which was no
minated some time ago to adjourn the solution
of the quostion. According to these profects,
tho Government will disburse a sum. exceeding
12,000,000 florins to purchase tho slaves, who
are afterwards to bo allowed to continuo to
work for their masters as previously, or to
labor under the direction of public functiona
ries in phalansteres specially established for
them; ■ but they are not to regain their real li
berty until they shall have reimbursed the ex
penses of their protended emancipation, and
shall besides have obtained tho consent of tho
authorities. The object seems to bo to estab
lish In'the West Indies a species of black com
munisth.”

The Revenue op India.— ln 1853-4 the In
dian revenue was £26,610,000, being£2,o44,ooo
less than the expenditure; in 1854-5 the reve
nue was £27,312, being £1,707,000 short of
the expenditure; in 1856-6 the revenue was
£28,891,000, being £972,000 less than tho ex
penditure ; and the estimate for 1850-7 is that
tho income will be found to amount to £29,-
344,000, and tho expeitsoto£Bl,B2o,ooo, show
ing an anticipated deficiency of £1,981,000.
The principal source of income—the land re
venue-had increased from £14,848,000 in
1853-4, to £16,682,000 in 1856-7. The cus
toms had increased in the same period from
£1,283,000 to £2,029,000, while the revenue
from salt had somewhat decreased, and that
lVpm opium remained at nearly th& same
amount. Under the head of charges we find,
from 1868 to 1857, that the direct claims upon
the revonno, including charges of collection
and cost of Balt and opium, had increased from
£0,805,000 in 1863, to £7,380,000 in 1857;
tho civil and political establishments, from
£1,973,000 to £2,500,000; the judicial and
police charges from £3,307,000 to £2,638,000;
buildings, roads, Ac., from £659,000 to
£1,216,000; military charges from £10,168,000
to £10,637,000; buildings for military purposes
from £292,000 to £615,000; the Indian navy,
from £472,000 to £603,000. The interest on
debt, on tho other hand, has decreased from
£2,504,000 in 1858, to £2,162,000 in 1857.
The ships sent out to reinforce the French
and English naval divisions in China were

which is thqir point of rendezvous.
After a lull of hostilities, but a continuation
of watchfulness on tho part of tho British Ad
miral, operations of a vigorous character were
recommenced in the waters of Canton. On
the 27th of May thirteen Chinese junks were
captured by the British forces; on the follow
ing day twenty-seven were captured; and on
the Bth of June no less than one hundred and
twenty-seven war-junks, mounting 900 guns,
were taken and destroyed. The Chinese fought
with more skill than they usually display against
Europeans, and with a bravery, or ferocity,
which they never before exhibited. The British
Joss on the last occasion was three officers
'and eight men killed, and three officers and
fifty-three men wounded. The loss on the
side of the Chinese is not mentioned. By the
result of these operations Canton lies wholly
at the mercy of the British Admiral, who may
thus continue to be the master of tho situation,
and perchance bring Commissioner Ych to
reason, without any necessity for the employ
ment of British troops, who are more wanted
aud better employed in India. The dispute
remains as before, a purely local one, in which
the Emperor of China is not involved, and from
which ho may yet escape participation by dis
avowing tho acts of his commissioner.

general ruin. They havo spoculntud os heavily in
the new and organized companion as all the rest,
und havo made themselves responsible for tho pay-'
meut of instalments in companies that hour on their
faces the impress of oertuln failure. The;conse
quence has been a constant drain on their specie
for paper that cannot be quoted, aud which they
would gladly disposo of at par. Some of them have
paid ns high as 150 per centum premiums for the
“ Credito MohtliarioP Tho fact of the weak state
of the banks became generally known lost jlouduj
morning, and there was a general rash made by
the depositors for their funds. Imagine thpir sur
prise on finding a notioe that, with the consent of
tho Captain-General, payments had been suspended
until further advice Some wore frantic wi>th rage
and despair. I never saw in my whole life such a
collection of sod visages. The Spanish Bank was
assisted by tho Government with about $1,500,000
in specie, aud stood the run bravely. The crowd
of pooplo holding the notes for which they loudly
domandod gold, was so groat and upUy that the
guard of soldiers stationed below hnd to drive them
off. It is a remarkable fact that whilst the Span
ish bouses were drawing out thoir deposits, oil the
foreign houses, without a single exception; helped
the bank in every possible way. On Monday
the Captain-General* called several meetings of
the merchants and riob planters to devise
somo speedy moans of affording relief to the
banks, and restoring confidence to the panic
stricken llabaneros; the most prominent Was one
uanimously adopted for the capitalists of Havana
to guaranty the Spanish Bank in its operations
of loaning money to tho other banks for six months,
by mortgages on their property or oash. About
$8,000,000 wore raised in loss than half an hour,
some of the merchants giving their signatures for
$500,000. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed in
this mooting, and all our moneyed men were present.
After addressing the audience on the necessity of
adopting some important measure for the salvation
of the Island, Gen. Concha retired from the room,
so that his presence might not be an obstaole to
the voluntary subscription that each one was
expected to make. Tne result of tho meeting
was extremely satisfactory, and had he called
for S2OjOOO,OOG, it would havo boon forthcom
ing. His Excellency was as much frightened at
tho oriticftl situation of the island as any ono elso.
—probably more so, as he is aooused of having con
tributed largely to the rapid development of this
new kind oi gambling in the island. The best
banks in the city had to stop payments for throo
days, and many doubt whether tho Habaneras will
ever be caught trusting their funds again in the
banks. The merchants have gotten up a petition
to tho Captain-General, asking for the admission of
American gold into our circulation at par for tho
term of twelve months.
“A groat many of the stock-brokers hare fled to

in such a loose manner that it is strunge that the

“The excitement in the money market has been
so great that politics are not eveu thought of, and,
though tho Spanish and Mexican mail-boats have
arrived, no nows has transpired. The Spanish
squadron continues in our harbor, offering fresh
victims to tho yellow fever,and from all ujipoarances
it would seem that they would roinaiu until after
tho equinoctial gales have passed. The new Ad
miral does not seem to bo so warlike os his prede

laid up in ordinary.”

The Case of Rev* T. J. Simpson,
The Pittsburgh Cumberland Presbyterian of
this wook contains a lengthy communication from
Rev. T. J. Simpson, relative to the serious charge
preferred against him, and of which ho whs hc
quittod by thejPresbytory. We copy the following
extract:
“For the Inst few weeks my name has been
trumpeted through the country in connection with
the charge of seduction. For a time tho eager
multitude caught tho dying rumor without stop
ting to inquire whence it came or on what
it wns founded. Tho reaction has now com
menced, howover, and tho Church and the
world demund the author of such an infamous
charge. Is he to bo found ? I challenge the world
to produce a singio individual who will acknow
ledge that he has over made such a charge, much
less assume the responsibility of making it good.
Has tho Prosby tery made tho charge } After inves
tigating the evidence in tho cuso, tho Presbytery re
fused oven to entertain tho chargo, it being simply
ridiculous. Who, then, Is tho author? Puma cla
mosa! An intangible, irresponsible nondescript,
who, in this instance, has certainly overtaxed her
energies to spread tho foul slander. Who, then, is
to bo believed ? I huvo spent four weeks in one
untiring effort to deteot tho author, uud no one
can bo found. Tho Allegheny Presbytery, at iny
request, has mot three different times in the lost
month, and devoted, in nil, nearly two weeks in
a fruitless effort to truce its origin, to find its au
thor, or at least by accumulating all the evidence
in the caso, to know if there was ground on which
to predicate such a charge; and it has unanimous
ly deolared there is not. I ask again, then, who is
to bo boliovod > Tho Presbytery or rumor? Ru
mor hus cireiilatodlhe charge; and the Allegheny
Presbytery, composed of men provorhiul for their
piety and integrity, have solemnly dcoUred, before
God and the world, with the facts bofore them,
that thore is no evidence to sustain it.”

Thß pepple of Michigan seem to be greatly
exercised concerning a recent decision of the Su
preme Court of that State on the validity of tax ti
tles. It would appear, from articles in several pa
pers, that the county treasurers have been in toe
habit of posting notices of sates of land for taxes in
obscure places, where the owners were not likely
to observe them, a few days previous to their sale
The case in question was Niles v. Walker, and the
decision was that the connty treasurer must give a
reasonable notice of the place of sale; that six days
is not sufficient notice; and that the notice of the
place must be coextensive with the time of sale. It
is said this decision will render null and void a ve
ry large number of tax sales throughout Michigan.

MRS. CUNNINGHAM Of ANOTHER NEW
CHARACTER
Strange Statements—Dr. Uhl sad Dr Fisk.
[Prom the New York Daily Times.]
We are told concerning Dr. Uhl and his connec
tion with Mrs. Cunningham—-and toe proof is pro
mised as forthcoming *with the trial—that when
the production of a Vegas heir was first propose!
to him, he refused peremptorily to be a partner to
any such crime. Jin. Cunningham said: •• Well,
you can do as you please ; if yon won’t, others can
be found who will assist me; and if you expose me,
os you threaten, it will be of ho T\se, and 1 wilf fol
low you up to the end of your days.” .Nothing of
this sort appeared in Dr. Uhl's affidavit, it is true,
though Justice Davison was -informed that there
were.important statements'corroborative apd ex
planatory of what was taken, that had been com
municated to his counsel.
The same authority says that Mra. Cunningham
proposed to Dr. Uni that he should make affidavit
to the effect that, in the examination of the person
of Miss Helen, in order to authenticate her state
ments before Coroner Connery, Dr. Woodward had
token unwarrantable liberties with her. If Dr.
Uhl would make such an affidavit. Mrs. Cunning
ham promised to bring a suit against Dr. Wool
ward, laying toe damages at $20,000, one-half of
which 6he would give to Dr. Uhl.
Dr. Uhl formerly lived in Bond street, near the
world-renowned No. 31.' This nearness on the
street probably first suggested to the smart widow
his employment as her physical counsellor.
Dr. Fisk, who has been attending‘Mrs. Cun
ningham for gastritis ever since the sham accouch
ment—a gastritis caused, it is now said, by repeated
doses of tartar-emetic—knew nothing of Mrs. Cun
ningham until he was summoned one day- last
week, to attend her at toe suggestion of Mr. Staf
ford, whose family physicianhe Is. He at once
proposed personal examination to her, but she
sturdily refused it, though the Doctor urged it as
essential for a proper diagnosis and safe treatment.
It is a curious fact, that while Dr. Uhl carried in
his breast the secret of the bogus baby. Judge
Dean, the bogus mother's counsel, was a lodger In
the same bouse, and the two were in daily inter
course with each other, showing that tht Doctor
can keep a secret when he chooses.

The Baby at the Museum.
Mrs. Elisabeth Anderson and the u Dakhng
J3oby” of Mrs. Cunningham on Exhibition.
Mrs. Elisabeth Anderson and her' baby, who ■
have figured so extensively for the past two weeks
in connection with the Bond street farce, have been
offered a star engagement at the Museum, and
made their debut yesterday, in accordance with
the following announcement:
Babxum’B Awebicax Hvsxtnr.—*«The bogus
Bnrdell baby” is now to be seen at the Museum—
having just arrived from Bellevue Hospital, and,
with its real mother, Mrs. Anderson, been placed
at this establishment to gratify, for a few'days
only, the public cariosity. This is the genuine
borrowed baby whioh was the valuable instrument,
through District-Attorney A. Oakey Hall,"Esq.'
and Dr. Uhl, of exposing the stupendous Bond
street fraud, and which was pronounced by Mrs.
Cunningham to have the “ exact nose and chin” of
the late Dr. Burdeil. The’ embroidered baby’s
dress provided by Mrs. Cunningham is kino at toe
Mnseum, together with a correct photographic
likeness by Meade Brothers, of Mw. (humiaghom,
alias Mrs. 'Burdeil. The whole may be seen on

charge for admission to the Museum notwUhftand
ingthis additional attraction. • - r
The startling poster, however, failed to ereate
any very extraordinary excitement; and. - duriag
the day, the attendance at the Museum was not
unusually large. A number of idle people visited
the notorieties, as a matter of coarse, bat they
created ho such furore as the management had
been led to anticipate.
Mrs. Anderson is a woman about 35 years of
age, but looks older, and has evidently experienced
much suffering and sorrow. She had au the ner
vousness and agitation consequent upon a first ap
pearance “in public on the stage,” but went
through her trying role quite as successfully as
most debutantes. She still looked weak and sickly
from her recent confinement; and if she manages
to live through the excitement, the questioning
and exposure to whieh she is subjected, it will
prove her to be a woman of remarkable constitu
tion. It would be a trying ordeal, for a perfectly
healthy woman, to ait from 10 A. M- to 10 P. H.,
and be inspected and questioned continually by
eveqr ignorant and canons visiter; bat it seem 3
positively cruel to subject this poor woman to this
treatment. She ha 3 no relatives to counsel her,
and it seems like taking advantage of her poverty
and inexperience.
The baby was of coarse the centre of attraction.
It was inspected and criticised, tonohed and fon
dled, and not a few of the female visiters kissed
r the “ little darling,” a liberty toe youngster al
ways resented by bawling vigorously whenever it
was dooe, tbcugh nSually its temper whs exceed
of lto vftalityVw tost
vm perfectly l regariflea cfiappairiHSNfcS* In all
other respects Jnstitia Anderson (a name joggested
by Warden Daly, of Bellevue Hospital,' and ac
quiesced In by toe mother) is'Uke other female
babies, and Us existence vibrates betweazf suetion
and somnolence. -
In addition to the mother and ehild > a portion of
Mrs. Cunningham and the clothes she provided for
the heir to the Burdeil estate were also .on exhibi
tion. The photograph is not a good one,-and must
be the original of the viUfinous likenesses'of Mrs.
Cunningham that* fill the-shop windows/and are
published in the flesh newspapers. -Thq clothes
consists of a baby’s long frock, embroidered, and
bib, and several mysterious flannel garments, tho
use of which is known only to those who are pasted
in toe secrets of babyhood.
Mrs. Anderson was of course compelled to sub
mit to a cross-examination from every person who
paid twenty-five cents to inspect the family group.
To one she would have to recount the history of toe
child, to another her own history; a third would
inquiry after her husband, and the fourth would
be satisfied with nothing' less than' tho whole story,
from beginning to end.
During the morning one of the visiters, who wa
evidently a “down easier,” after compelling the
poor woman to tell the story over.fbr a hundredth
time, said:
** Well, how much did you get forgiving up your
child?”
‘‘l'did not any money,” replied the
mother; I did it because Mr. Hall wanted it, and
because 1 was told it would be the means o? dis
covering a bad woman.”
The visiter withdrew, slightly disgusted that h
could not find one who had made anything by th
trick. Another questioner, a joungman with long
hair and weak eyes, timidly inquired if she might
not be mistaken in the child—-might not some other
woman’s baby be returned to her instead of her
own; but he was immediately crashed by the in
dignant mother informing him, that “of course a
mother oan always tell her own child from another
woman’s ”
During the afternoon a number of women visited
the Museum to see the baby. The young ladies, of
course, were in extacies, and pronounced it a “little
dear;” while the more mature females were dis
posed to be patronizing, and thought it very good
of ita kind, but that it was' not a very good kind.
Mrs. Anderson and her child are wafted on by a
nurse, who exhibits the child when the laother is
compelled to retire to escape the questioning of the
visiters.

Heavy Arrival of Wheat from Kentucky.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette of August U.l
From Mr. R. Strader, conductor of the Coving

five cars, containing each three hundred bushels of
wheat, arrived at Covington depot, last evening,
from the interior of Kentucky. Thirtceh full cars

road waiting for a locomotive to bring them down.
From two farmers who came down with the wheat
above-mentioned, we learn that the crops through
middle Kentnoky are immense—the yield exceed
ing that of any previous year.
On Friday the shipment of wheat commenced,
and fifteen oar-loads were brought down to this
taarket. On Saturday seventeen car-loads more
arrived, together with about two thousand bushels
of oats and barley.

The Case of the McKeesport Murderers.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle states that Colonel Row
ley, deputy clerk of the Court of Quarter Seisions,
has just completed a record of the case of the Com
monwealth vs. Henry Fife. Monroe Stewart, and
Charlotte Jones, recently convicted of murder in
our criminal court, and now lying under sentence
of death in the county jail. The record is very
voluminous, covering some sixty closely written
pages, and embracing the various' exceptions taken
to the ruling of the Court, do., during the trial.
The record was made out at the. desire of the de
fendant’s counsel, who purpose, if a writ of error
be allowed them, to take the case before the Su
premo Court. The writ must bo procured within
thirty days from the day the prisoners received
their sentence, otherwise tho matter cannot ho
taken before the Supreme Court at all, and the law.
unless the Governor interferes, will have to take its
course. Counsel for the defence, in view of thi3
fact, havo made application to Judge Lowrie. ask
ing that a writ of error in the ease may issue. His
honor has signified his willingness to examine the
record with as little delay as possible, so that an
early decision in the matterinaybe expected. Tho
Supreme Court meets in Snnbury on the first Mon
day of October, and, should Judge Lowrie grant a
writ of error in the case, it will probably be argued
there. It is possible, however, that it might be
postponed till the meeting of the court here on tha
second Monday of October, as more convenient to
the counsel engaged in theense. When argued tbe
proceedings will be regarded with intense interest,
not only by the wretched convicts themselves, but
by all classes of the community.
