'■ <> ff 1 THE UXE Sr* AT OB RUBg. An intelligent lent|?mah residing in this city, but whois now on a visit to.the capital of Texas on business, waiting, to a friend, attributes the lamentable suicide of tho late Senator Rusk to a motive^,'which, if true, (and he , states itia widely-credited in Texas,) reflects great credit oh bis Character as a inon possessed of a sensi trve honor, and tends to soften the harsh judg. ment that usually follows the fate of tho self destroyer of iife.’ It seems that Senator It usk’s whole nervous system had become terribly shattered by the uncontrollable sufferings the death of his excellent and loving wife, had oc casioned him. It is said that, while oc cupying his seat in the Sonate, during tho pen dency .of the debate on- tho Kanses-Nebraska hill, he had. made ; an arrangement with his col league, General Sak Houston, by which it was agreed that both Houston and himself should vote for the bill. .Notwithstanding this posi tive agreement, Gen. -Houston voted against tho bill. In the recent ‘ gubernatorial contest in Texas, General. Houston being the op position candidate,' both political pirties commenced questioning Gen##,!. Rusk so closely that he felt it was impossible longer 'to resist tho public exposure of Gun. Hous ton. . For many years General Houston had been his friend and - companion—his, old com rade in arms during the bitter-trials of the’war of independence—-they lmd soared together in the United States Senate; - and he became haunted with ,the idea that to , live longer -Would occasion himdishohor. He become the victim to the impression that, under the cir. cumstances, his death was a measure of, over niling necessity. It was, of course, an unfor tunate mania;,but all this evinces the honora ble feelings and manly instincts of one who would not hesitate to yield his most precious possession to a sense - of duty, however mis taken. THE FRAUDS ON THE CUSTOMS, The New. York papers have been busy for the past fbw days,-circulating a report that some largo frauds upon the customs have been discovered in this city, and promising revela tions in regard to them. It seems that the frauds heve been committed by a Now York agent through whom one of our mercantile firms have been transacting their business with ;the New York custom house; Tho facts of [the case arc simply these; Tho Ann in ques tion have been in- the habit of shipping tlieir goods through Now York, and haying their Invoices forwarded to Philadelphia, as is usual, from their foreign correspondent. These in voices are sworn to here before our collector by tho Arm, and transmiltodt > 'to -New York to their agent or broker. It .appears] that this agent has been in the habit of substituting fraudulent invoices for the genuine ones fur nished him by tho firm. - The surveyor of New .York is himself satisfied, from an examination of tho books of' tho firm in this city, that tho amount bf duties called for in tho gennino. in voices has. been regularly paid by them, and that their New York broker has been in the habit of pocketing the difference between tho amount received by him and that he accounted for to the officers of tho customs iii his false invoices. trade. We are gratified to learn that our Jobbers are doing an active business. Western, buyers are daily arriving, and furnish favorable views with regard ,to crops and prospects for fall and win ter trade. Our connections with the West and South afford such transporting facilities as canse necessarily a later trade than heretofore; but we feel a confidence that our fall trade will be fully equal to expectation, and that tho bet tor class of purchasers will present themselves, supplied with every thing needed. Stock's of goods, were never bettor than at present, and buyers cannot go'away unsatisfied, in prices or terms. * We notice a very encouraging condition of the boot and shoe trade of our city, a branch of business not properly estimated by thoso uninitiated. Stocks of boots and shoes in this market are unsurpassed in any city in this Union; the superiority of Philadelphia “ work” is so well known among tho knowing ones that it is useless to comment. We hope, when time will - allow, to pursue this topic, and prove that leather is leather, Whether it Is pegged or. sewed together. - • The Leaden Times on Slavery. On thelst of thepre&cutmonth of Auguatrr ftnnjYtimTr "WD6n our American ffote negroes wete celebra ting the and singing hosannahs to Queen Victoria, TOO London Times used the follow ing language: The worthy men who extinguished slavery and ruined out- West India possessions are very touchy , very obstinate , very inconvertible on that ttndsrpoint. It is not our businoss to deny them much justice and truth on their side, or to stand up for tho planters, took a line which repelled all reasonable advocacy. But, confessedly taking that grand summary view of the question which we cannot help taking after a quarter of a ■ century, the pro cess was a failure; .tf destroyed an immense property, ruined thousands o/ good families , degraded the negroes still lower than they were , and; after all, increased the mass of slavery in less scrupulous hands . After many attempts at indirect discouragement, we have been obliged at last to recognise and, admit persistent slave owners to an equal rank in our commerce. Eyery-body who comos fresh into the ques tion, uncompromised and unbiased, admits the failure, and asks why we, did not, attempt gradual or spontaneous emancipation, if it was, .indeed, utterly impossible to improve the practiee of- slavery into something more like that we read of in sacred as well as classical antiquity. - The more . these questions are asked, and the more these doubts abound, the more positive are the men of tho past that they did right in their days, and that they can not be Improved npon in our days.

FROM WASHINGTON. [Correspondence of The Prbss.] . .. - Washington, August 28,1857. Tho Triasury Department is making up the re port on the finauuos for tho prespnt year, which, under law, will be submitted in January noxt. It is not generally known how various and important Me the facts from official records embraced in that report. It exhibits our export and import trade, its different component parts, their relative value and whether oarrled on In foreign or American bottoms. It is, in short, ft grand balance sheet of our couhtry 1 s gains hhd losses', affording material which if diligently conned over and, reflected on by our merchants, must enuro to their pecuniary benefit and the prosperity of our oommerte* Clerks and Heads of Bureaux work long into the night, with headache ami tired fingers, drill ing the : figures into their respective ranks and places, in readiness for tho Congressional review. The Sooretary, who is at his desk at all hours almost, has, in addition to his ordinary onerous duties, to prepare a codification of the revenue laws, to be submitted for the action .at the next session. This is under special resolution of Con gress. For four years past, both houses hare made ineffectual efforts to arrange and classify the mul titudinous acts and resolutions on the subjoot of revenue collections. There was some hope of action' in the matter at the last session, but Congress finally, unwilling themselvoß to on counter the tedious and uninteresting considera tion of paragraph after paragraph, chapter after chapter, and book after book, through three hun dfdd Jjagbs, turned the labor into the hands of the Secretary. He, lam led to beU6ve, will preparo and submit the eodifiontion in separate branches, taking them up in their proper order. * The topic that exoltes just now the greatest shard of attention is the appointment for Commis sioner of Patents. All the grants have their backers here, and press them with much spirit. They are all good men, and inventors oan at least depend upon a worthy gucoossor to Judge Mason. Th'e Secretary bf War' appointed John Hugheb inspector of army olothing at the United States Arsenal, Philadelphia, vice Heal gampbell, removed, and J. B. Montague, of Montgomery > county, Pennsylvania, inspector of boots and shoes* at the same place. In the revenue cutter serviee, Isaac J. McKin ley, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed to a third lien'tenantoy, and third lieutenant George Walden has been promoted to a second iieutenantcy. I understand that the selection of the seotions of public lands within the six miles limits of the Alabama and Florida railroad have just been cer tified by the General Land Office to the State of Florida, amounting in the aggregate to 86,760 acres. This grant was made by the act of Congress of the 17th of May, 1856. The road extends from the line dividing Florida from Alabama to Pensa cola. On the sth of next month, Lieut. J. C. Ives, un der orders from the Secretary of War, will leave N. York for San Franoisoo, to make preparations at tho latter place for an exploring expedition up tho Colorado river. Lieut. Ives takes with him a small steamer, to be employed in making hydro graphio survoys. A party of some forty or fifty men will be enlisted in California. This is one of the most important movements for some timo undertaken by the Government. Little or nothing is known of the Colorado, of its fitness for navigation, or tho eountry through which it runs, although it is tho second river in size west of tho Hooky Mountains. Lieut. Ives will ascend tho rivor as far as possi ble in his steamor, and then endeavor to reooh tho head Valors with horse and pack mules. It' is well enough to state, os there seems to he misapprehension in regard to it, that the* engineer by whoso action the Atlantic telegraph o&blo was broken, was not tho engineer of tho Niagara, but the Civil Engineer of the Tclograph Company.

The work of tho Convention will, it is said, be quickly done. It will probably be submitted to the people ou the day that a Legislature Is elected, and the chances are that the Constitution will be inWashington, with a mem ber of Congress and two Senators to back 4, by the first of December. It la supposed that the Constitution, like that of New York and Pennsylvania, will be silent as to slavery.

BETAXtiS'.OF THE AMERICAN NEWS The mails by the steamship America reached here at two o’ctookyesterday afternoon. In look ing over our tiles of foreign papers, wo find the fol lowing details of tho nows, a brief synopsis of wbloh wo have already given in The Fbess, by tele graph, from Halifax: (Prom tlio Bombay Times of tbs 14th July.) Ia tho last fortnight wo have probably passed “the flood" of tho insurrection, ana may now hope that our future advices will bo ohiofly occupied with a reoital of the subsidenoo of this great rebel lion, and the restoration of order in the disturbed provinces. The truth is that there are no more re giments to mutiny, unless they are to be those of Bombay and Madras, concerning- the fidelity of which there Is not the slightest ground of suspi cion. Delhi had not fallen up to the 27th of Juno, the date of our latest odvloes via Lahore. There has been agood deal of fighting outside the walls, the rebels being defeated on every ocoasion with great slaughter, and it is matter of great congratulation that the apparent hopelessness of their cause has effectually cnecked the disposition of the mutineers at other stations to prooeod to their assistance. The only attempt which has been mode to reinforce them seonps to nave been on the part of tho Nus seorabad mutineers, who wero out up dreadfully on the occasion by Gen. Barnard’s force. Whether any of them got inside the walls or not wo cannot say. During the fortnight just elapsed we have re ceived intelligence of the, mutiny of the troops at Moradabad, Fyzabad. Seetapore, Saugor, Now gong, Banda, Futtebgnur, Mhow, and Indore, and we proeeed briefly to relate the particulars of each so far as they are known to ua. It is now evident that an arrangement existed between the troop 3 at Bareilly, Shabjehanpore, Lucknow, and Moradabad to effoot a simultaneous rising. A glance at the map will show the proxi mity of these stations to eaoh other, and tho out break occurred at each on the morning of the same day. .The munity at Bareilly, whioh we roporled in a few words in our last issue, Beems to have been at tended with 'circumstances of pcouliar ntrooity and treachery. Only, tho day before thoir out break the Sepoys appealed to their offioers to recall their wives ana families from the hills, whore they had been sent for safety, and oven to the last mo ment these inisoreants sworo to proteot their offi cers to the death. Tho regiments rose e» masse on Sunday morning, the Ist of June, a shotted gun being fired as tho signal about eloven.o’olock. The men at onco rushed upon their officers’ lines, and opened a fusilade upon the bungalows. Such offi cers as were able Immediately got on their officers, and mode for the rendezvous previously agreed upon among them—the cavalry parade ground. An ineffectual effort was made to bring book tho troops to thesr allegiance, but the scoundrels opened upon them with grapo-sbot, and they had to ride for theirlives. The country having risen in all directions, it was with oxtreme difficulty, and only by a rido of sev enty miles, that tho little band at last found safoty at Nynoe Tal, in the hills, where they had previ ously sent thoir families. Hero the refugees are congregated jn numbers which will probably awe any attempt to attaok them; and, as tho place is of ?a*y difficult approach, we may hope tnoy are in safety. At Moradabad the desire of plunder seemed to prevail over the murderous propensities of these miscreants, and thoy gave thoir officers two hours’grace-to make their esoapo, in which they fortunately succeeded, tho whole of the offi cers (29th Regiment) and the residents, with thoir families, escaping to Nynco Tal the day after tho arrival of the Bareilly refugees. ETe stated In our last advices that groat fear was entertained that tho whole of the station at Shabjehanpore had boon massacred. We are happy, howover, to learn that a good many have escaped, but wo areunablo as yet to give the particulars. The rising at Fyzabad ooourred on the night of Sunday, the Bth ult,. the Gth regimentOudo Irre fular Infantry giving tho signal, which was immo iatoly answered by tho 22d regimeut Native In fantry. Thoy at onoo took possession of tho batte ry, and would not allow the offioers to approach, but do not 80cm to have offored thorn any yiolonco. Fyeabad is in the very hart of Oudo. and is sitpat -1 cd upon a braoh of tho Ganges Tho officers de termined to endeavour to escape by boat, and wore allowed quietly to embark. About ton miles down tho river they mot some 800 or 600 mutincors en camped, who fired upon and pursnod the fugitives, killing a number of them- Wo hove reason to bo liovo, However, that a considerable nnmbor of tho offioers hare effected their escape from this station, and, whatever may have taken place after louring ; it, the conduot of the Sepoys at tho tlmo seams to have boon characterised by the strangest modera tion. We cannot resist tbe temptation of quoting from a iettor on the Subjeot “ The account of tho mutiny of the 22d Regiment beats any romance; they guarded thoir offioers and •thoir bungalow after mutinying, plaeed sentries ■ over raagatines and all publio property, sent out pickets fb prevont tho towns-peoplo and sorvants from, looting, held a council of war, in which the cavalry.

The other three remained to make some experiments “ Soundings were found by the Cyclops at 22,000 fathoms. At night they kept a course E. S. E , under easy, ana on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock bore up for Plymouth Sound. The Niaga ra is gone Into H&tn&Oio. The general oplAlon is that tne season Is too far advanoed for another effort now, buteyery confidence Is expressed In the confidence of the undertaking. Tne machinery now aboard the Niagara is considered too heavy for tho purpose. It is stated that tho wheels ceased to revolve when the pressure was applied on Tues day morning” THE CITY. Novel Case of Desertion— '“The course of true love uovcr did run smooth.” Yesterday aftornoon, as Chiof Bulkley was engaged in the arduous du ties of hia daily avocation, an oldorly lady, rather prepossessing in appourunco, entered tho Central Polico station, and politely requested a private in terview with the gentlemanly head of the detective polio® department. He, of course, disengaged himself nt once from the transaction of all business, and consented to bear the words of his fair and un expected visitor. She stated that she had & com plaint of a very serious nature to make, and after a brief conversation and having been sworn to tes tify to the truth, the whole truth,and nothing but the truth, shesubscribed her name to the following deposition: 1 Prudence R. Wilson, formerly Alberson, being duly sworn according to law, doth depose and Say: That she resides in Manayunk. James R. Wilson, now deponent’simsband, made the acquaintance of deponent on the 16th day of the present month, and deponent was married to the same James R. Wil son on the 19th day of August (instant) by the Rev. Robert C. of the Gospol, as ho signs himself, 293 Wood street, in this city. The deponent was induced to enter into matrimo nial bonds with said Wilson by his representations to her (deponent) that he had a house in Baltimore on tho Point, and that he wished to be married to doponent in order to get her away to it as sodn as possible, and that he wanted deponent to Bell her little stook of goods as soon as possible, in order to go home with him. Doponent did this, and realised from the sale $lOO. Deponent bad, besides this, in cash $ll6. Tifis money the doponent gave to the said James R. Wilson to put in the Com mercial Bank. This he has not done. Tho same James R. Wilson also represented to others in order that doponent might be informed thereof, and de ponent was so informed, that the soid Wilson was the owner of stook in the Glouoestor mills—*a bleaching company; thatheownodafarm in Read ing, Pa.; had a homestead in Baltimore; was a na tive of New Hampshire; was known to D. S. Brown, Esq., and to many other prominent business men. in Philadelphia. Deponent charges that this said Jamesß. Wilson has deserted her; that he has taken the $261 intrusted to him and appropriated it to his own uses and purposes; that the repre sentations as to his ownership of property,Ac.j wore false, and that she has been grossly imposed upon, and is now without a home or any means wnat ever. ' Mr. Bulkley asked Prudence why she was so imprudent as to marry a man upon so limited an acquaintance, to whioh she unhesitatingly replied: “Because he was so good-looking!” Chiof B.—“ How do you know that the person who married you was a minister of the gospel ? “Beoausohe was so good-looking too!” As the chief prepared a warrant for the arrest of the dereliot James R. Wilson, he conld not sup press a smilo, notwithstanding the sad state of im morality to which the circumstances of the oase so dearly pointed. Latest from China—Arrival of Dispatches from the Chinese Commissioner ! !—Our distin guished fellow-townsman, and able jurist, Judge Doran, came into court yesterday morning ac companied Ching Dho-Rhan, and Chang Dho- Rhan, two of tho Judges’ Chinese relatives, whose family have long been resident in the neighbor hood of Canton. They are the bearers of dis patches, whioh although not exaotly of an official character, are very interesting It appears that our Commissioner, Mr. Reed, who had arrived out in advance of the steamer, had been favored by Judge Doran with letters of introduction to his Chinose relatives, with whom tho Judge has long beon on terms of friendly correspondence. Our Minister, immediately on his arrival at Canton, presented the Judge’s lotters, which were in the Chinese language, (in whioh the Judge is a com plete adept, both speaking and writing it fluently,) and was most hospitably received after the Chinese fashion. Two of the Judge’s cousins having learned of the Judgo’s high position at the ‘Philadelphia bar, determined to pay him a visit, and will, doubtless, be hospitably ontertaiuod at the Judge's residence in Soutl* Third street. The judge has promised us extracts from the Commissioner’s lotters, whioh will doubtless prove very interesting. We may mention now that our Minister mentions ho has adopted the Chinese costume, and finds It very comfortable. Kieu i Lung, tho Governor of the palace, is quite well, and takes his glass of whiskey punch every ovening as usual. Religious Intelligence.— The Church of the Epiphany, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, will be re-opened for divine service to-morrow morning. The Rov. Dr. May, of Virginia, will preach In the morning at half-past 10 o’clock, and in the evening at 8 o’clock- Grace Churob, at Twelfth and Cherry streets, has recently beon very much improved. The church edifice formerly stood back from the street, a distance of about thirty feet. This intervening space has bedh filled up by a building of the best briok, with towers at each end. The front of the old church has been torn away, and ingress is now obtained to it through the new building. The in terior of the whole is being renovated, and, when completed, Graco Church will present a muoh more attractive appearance than formerly. During the past year, the Presbyterian Board of Publication distributed by means of sales and grants—mostly the former—336,9lo volumes of the publications of the Board. Tracts were distributed to the amount of 1,780,402 pages. We learn that the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Kensington is engaged in making arrangements to build a new pl&ee of wor ship in Faanklin avonuc, between Hanover and Palmer streets, upon a lot 85 by 100 feet. Th* plans aro for an edifice of 05 feet front by 100 feet deep, including an octagonal projection, intended as a basis for a conspicuous and lofty spire. The front is to be an imitation of brown stone; the rest of the structure will be plain briok. The refitting of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is now nearly completed. Tho edifice has been re painted and re-decorated, both within and without, in quite a tasteful manner. It is anticipated that the Rector, Rev. Dr. Stevens, will return from a tour to the Holy Land in about six weeks. Tho new organ used in St. Jude’s Church, in Franklin street, above Brown, is attracting con siderable attention. The music of the instrument has beon listened to with tho highest delight by largo audiences and by eminent judges of the “ concord of sweet sounds.” The organ is twenty nine feet in height and sixteen feet in width. It is built in tho Gothic style, tho wood used in its construction being buttonwood, highly varnished. The organ contains thirty-four stops, two banks of keys, and has soventeon pedal keys. The cost of the instrument was $2,400. The work on tho new building for the meeting house of tho Olivet Baptist Church, at tho south east cornor of Sixth and Federal streets, the oorner stono of which was laid on the 20th inst., is being pushed rapidly forward. The Pastor, N. B. Bald win, has labored zealously for years in thiseity, and he has surrounded himself with hosts of warm hearted and generous friends, who will not allow any difficulties to obstruot his passage to a success ful termination of tho new enterprise in whioh he is engaged. Balloon Ascent. —On Thursday afternoon Monsieur Godard made his promised balloon as cent from Lemon Hill. The wind was so extremely high that he found it impossible, with any regard to prudence, to descend, os bo had announced and intondod, in a parachute. In less than eteven minutes, the force of the wind carried him, with great velocity, to three miles beyond Germantown, where ho descended amid a torrent of rain. Mons. Godard was fully prepared to have fulfilled his promise of descending in the parachuto, but the elomonts opposed him A vast number of curious spectators, many from distant parts, witnessed the ascent. M. Godard hopes to carry out his inten tion at an early day, and will reduce tho price of admission on that ocoasion. Baltimore Central Railroad. There is every prospect that the Baltimore Central Rail road will bo spoedily completed. The managers, we understand, are now laying down the rails from tholjunction with the Philadelphia West Chester direct road to Chadd’s Ford. Telegraphic. —Tho telegraphic line, notv in course of construction up tho North Pennsylvania Kaihond, will soon bo completed. Substantial poles have been erected from this city to Bethle hem, and tho placing of tne wiro and the arrange ment of tho stations will not require any great time. It is a well demonstrated fact that an exclu sive wire is now cssontinl to tho proper manage ment of every well rogulated railroad. Political . —We observe that a call has been issued to tho delegates composing the American City Convention, to reassemble this afternoon at two o’clock, at tho oounty court-house. “ Business of importance will bo transacted,” which means, probably, nothing more or less than that Pavid Paul Brown, Esq., has declined being a candidate for .Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and that a strong effort will again bo made tb place the lion. RobortT. Conrad in nomination. We learn, however, that the “ straight-outs” intend to de feat, if they can, all movements of this character. Our Mackerel Trade . —Philadelphia will havo to look out for her interests in tho fish line. According to a Boston paper, our oity has hereto fore controlled tho market for mackerel, hut the New Yorkers are now attempting to got this trade in their hands, and it is resulting favorably to tho fishermen. As new markets are being opened for fihipinont, an impetus will bo given to this bronch of business heretofore unknown. Additions are making to tho fleot in all our fishing ports, and upon tho arrival of the bnymon there is considera ble competition by tho New York and Philadel phia ngouts to seoure their fares. Thus far the New York agents havemiverbid, and secured the groatest number. The Eclectic Medical College.— We recently made a visit to this institution, located in Haines street, above Sixth, botween Arch and Race, and wero gratified to observe the many improvements which have been made in tbe building during tbe past year. Tbe Museum room contains the prepa rations, materials, apparatus, drawings, and the re quisite nullities to illustrate the several branches of medical Bcionco. The Obstetrical Cabinet is well supplied with the needful appliances for prac tical illustration, while the Materia Medica Cabi net oxhibits a oomplete and well-preserved collec tion of remedial agents, active principles, and con centrated remedies, suoh as are usually employed by the eclectic practitioner, with a series of colored illustrations of medical botany. In the Anatomical Department are found osseous, nervous, vascular, muscular, and other preparations for class demonstrations, with many valuable and interesting pathological specimens There arc Also surgical casts and apparatus, cboiaieal tests, re agents, &o. We learu that the trustees and the friends of the institution have determined to erect a new and more commodious College edifice than they now occupy, with a view to enlarge its facili ties in every departmentof Instruction. The build ing is well adapted to the convenience of student and teacher. The first floor is occupied for chemi cal lectures, the second for a splendid museum, the third for the Anatomical Amphitheatre and Dis secting Rooms. Its location is central in the city, and yet retired from the confusion of business. * In order to gire oar readers an idea of the more important general principles taught in this institu tion, we subjoin the following: » Ist. That every physician should seek for medi cal improvement without prejudice, and without any desire to sustain theories not based on well established facts. ' 2d. The physioian should seek to preserve the vital power of the patient—never using medicines which directly tend to destroy the vital elements i of the blood, that tend to corrode or adhere to the i more delioato tissue of the body, like the mercu rials, thus giving rise, after their first effects, to secondary ones, often dangerous and fatal to health and life. That general blood-letting, proved by ample experience to be generally injurious to the constitution, should not be used as a remedial agent. That antimony, arsenic, lead, mercury, ail dangerous mineral poinsons—all having been proved by tho experience of two centuries to be productive of a vast amount of disease and mortality—should not l e admitted into tho list of medical agents, since the supposed good effeots derivable from them may bo produced by safer, yet equally efficient medicines, derived front tho indigenous plants of onr own country. 3d. That all remedies which, like the mercurials, are liable to great abuse, whose use may be sup planted by better and safer remedies, Bbould be gradually laid*aside, and other agents introduced, os fast as the progress of science and experience will admit. 4th This institution founds Its ideas of diseased action on the teachings of physiology; it believes and teaches that inflammation is not an exalted condition of vital ao tion, but a depressed one; that it Is a condition in which the “capillaries are mor bidly relaxed and over-distended, and in which the blood that is passing through them is first abnormal ly excited and chemically changed, and then stag nates and coagulatesthat, from this view of the nature of inflammation, It recommends those agents which tend to equalize circulation, excite secrotion and excretion, restore the functions of the skin, and cause the elimination of effete matter from tho blood, through the kidneys and bowels, faster and with greater safety to the constitution, than nature could do, unaided by medication. The following is a list of the names of the gen tlemen composing the Faoulty: Joseph Sites, M. D., Professor of Obstetijes and Diseases of Women and Children; Henry Hollem baek, M.

Coroner’s ’Cases.— An inquest was held yes terday morning, by Coroner Delavau, on the body of a widow woman named Mary Lewis, aged thirty-three years, who committed suicide by tak ing an ounce of laudanum, at a house in Rye street, above Reed. The evidence in the case was, that on several previous occasions unsuccessful attempts were made by this woman to take her life A verdict in accordance with the facts was rendered. The Coroner held an inquest yesterday after noon, on the body of a man who was foand ‘drowned in the Delaware, in the vicinity of Kaighn’s Point.

The ooronor was also summoned to hold an in quest yesterday on the body of a child named Clara F. Stevens, aged about eight months, residing in Sonth Fifth street, who died from want and ex posure. The mother is alleged to be a worthless wretch, while the emaciated condition of the child plainly indicated the treatment which it had un dergone. A German merchant named Nathan Muller, re siding at No. 144 Front street, between Race and Arch streets, committed suicide yesterday morn ing by discharging the contents of a heavily, loadod pistol into his mouth. He expired immedi ately, and Coroner Delaraa hold an inquost in the case. The cause of this rash act isa mystery.

He was also taken to the Hospital. THE COURTS. Quarter Sessions— Judge Conrad.— Tkt Tavern Li cense Forgeries Again.—^ Yesterday morning at the opening of the Court, the District Attorney stated that Mr. Woods, the gentlemau whose name bad been men tioned in connection with the re-payment of money in the ease of Crosier Lowry, charged with the forgery of tavern license,'was now In court. He would wish to have him examined. Judge Conrad Inquired if Mr. Woods was not in court under process ? The District Attorney said that he felt satisfied from investigation into the matter that Mr. Woods was guiltless of any com plicity in procuring, this license irregularly. Mr. : Woods upon being sworn Btated thatLowTeyrcpresented himself to him as a person who could assist Mr. McAl lister in obtaining a license, as he had influence with the board. He expressed his gratification sod desired him to use his influence for McAllister; that subse quently McAllister brought him what purported to be a certificate of license, and asked him if it was genuine. He said he did not know, but referred him to the Clerk of Quarter Sessions. Subsequently Mr. Lowry called upon him and said he had got himself into a scrape; that he had received a note from Mr. Derringer, which he held in his hand, hut did notread. He said he was advised in the note, by Mr. Derringer, to have the matter fixed, and handed him $25 to be sene to McAllister, and said tnat the bal ance would be paid in a few days. He sent the money to McAllister, and that was all he knew about ii. Judge Courad said tnat there did not appear to be anything criminal in th'e conduct of Mr. Woods, and ordered his discharge Lowry was subsequently arraigned, and upon being asked to plead, Mr. Soby, his eounse], said that Sir. Lowry had asked him to attend in couvt and say something before he pleads guilty, which he admits, he has been in this transaction. Mr. Soby baa advised him to make a full statement to the court, and he now ealled upon him to do so. WThe defendant, Lowry, was then sworn, and said I will oe 27 years of age on the 27th day of September next. Some time since I was requested by Mr. wood to endea vor to obtain a license for McAllister, and a man sained Dairy. Mr. Wood sent for me, and requested me to call upon McAllister. I did so, when he informed me he had employed Mr. Collins, a member of this bur, to pro cure his license. J then said I would have nothing to do with the matter. I say now that I do not think McAllister a proper person to have a license; he is drunk seven-eighths of his time. I met Theodore T. Derringer up at Fort Washington, where his family Is staying. I asked him could anything be done for McAl lister. He said yes; there could be a good thing mado out of it. That he would famish me the documents, provided I acted on the square. I understood him to mean wo were to go halves. Ho Raid there was no occa sion for a sea). I went to the Quarter Sessions office on Wednesday week, and was told to call next day. Derringer said that Mr nowall would be out of town the next day, and to come dovm and ho would give me the documents; I did so, and he gave me four blanks and four frames; they were* blank certificates or li cense, and lam sorry to say I used one; the others are not destroyed; I think if I had an officer to go with m>< to a house in Crown street near Caliowhill they could bo found; I told Mr. Wood I could get a bogus license, and be said If McAllister was satisfied he was; I took the license to McAllister and he gave me $O5; he was willing to give me $100; I saw Derringerou Saturday week, and gave him $lO of this money; the rcasou I did not give him half was that I had used some of the money: I received this note (not produced) from Der ringer the day after it bears uatc. We give a copy *of the note alluded to, Dingus Hainrs. August 24,1857. “A man by the name of J. McAllister, in Tenth ■Ward, produced a certificate of False License he says a man by the name of Lowry sold him for $87.50 and bung It up. Constantine Collins, attorney for him, wanted to go in Court—l told him not to go In a Court—He snys he would uot go in until Thursday—l know notlCng about it—lt is signed Geo. N. Howell—He will raise a great cry about the man Lowry. Respectfully, yours, T. T Derringer.” P. 8. I don't know an. This note was directed to ‘‘C. Lowry, Ksq., Fort Washington, Montgomery Co., Pa.” The reading of the above note concluded the testimony of Lowry, ana his plea of guilty baring been recorded, Mr. Soby asked the Court to suspend his sentence for some time, and to take the statements he had made into consideration. Judge Allison intimated he would do so, and directed a warraut to issue for the arrest of Mr. T. T. Derringer. William Myers, Lieutenant of Police of the Four teenth Ward, was charged with an nrsault and battery on K. Forrest Koehler, a member of the Philadelphia bar. The testimony of Mr. Koehler waa to the effect tfaat he attended, on the 4th of July last, at the station house corner of Thirteenth and Spring Carden streets, at the hearing of a case, and upon objecting to the tes timony of a witness, Lieutenant Myers struck him a Tiolent blow* across the shoulders, and told him "to hush up.” The defendant brought a number of police men who were present, and alleged they saw no blow struck on the occasion.
