The Pope has returned to Romp, and was well received in! “ the Eternal City.” ■ -Franco and Denmark have a difficulty respecting the peficjd when. the commutation of the Sound Dues!

As our readers know, between three and four hundred milej of ;tho cable were] left . In tho Atlantic, after having suddenly snapped off; [while ft;was being “paidout” from,the steaip-frigate. As one end. was strongly se- at Valentia, there conld be no difficulty, if a littiebcpre;wuro taken, in recovering all hat [was thuS abandoned*. Indeed, we believe agreement has bcon raado with th’o un der Writers, by which'the Subr-Atlahtic Tele grapii Company were permitted to retain the cable, if .they succeeded in recovering ft. But (as in our flies of English news- received by the Persia) two distinct and regime portions of tho'submerged cable had been picked up, or fished up, and brought to Ireland.- This fact appears celtaln/'for it is mentioned in different journals. . - Now, the,question arises—how was the ca. bie eut ? From Vaientia; to where it snapped ■off, an unbrokpn length of three hundred and eighty miles had been loft in the water. What Wife the action; at tho, bottom of the ocean, which out off the two separate portions con veyed back'to Ireland? -Did the cable chafe against the uneven and sometimes rocky floor of the ocean upon which It lay ?, ,Tho circum stance; at all events,'is worthy of considera tion; and examination, with reference to future attempts at establishing telegraphic communi cation between the old world and tho hew. If there be any action in the depths below by, which the cable is iiable to bo cut in two; the whole matter' must bo looked upon as hope less. . ... ■!, ', -• PURSUIT OF GAIN. • The irresistible impulse that has been given, wlthihthe;last few years/to ’ every branch of indiiatry, has been productive of great good. But .every human' benefit Is apt to be closely attended by corresponding evil. The lightning and the tempest purify the elements, but, at the same time, are the agents of death and desola tion. So, too, while the whoje country bears evidence 1 to the physical: prosperity of onr people, it is equally evident that there is a too intense, and absorbing devqtion to gain. This affebts the whole bodypolitto. Ithaschanged, and will yet more radically change, the whole order of society. « The great principle of de mand and'supply,’’ said Mr. Calhoun, in one ,of.h>s speeches on the Sub-Treasury, “governs, the moral-and intellectual world no less 1 than tlie business and commercial. If a community b 6 sojconstituted as to cause a demand for high mental attainments, as if its honors and rewards arc allotted to pursuits that require their de veloprnent, by creating a demand for intelli gence, knowledge, wisdom, justice, firmness, courage, patriotism, and tho like, thoy are sure to go produced. But if, on tho contrary, they be allotted to pursuits that require inferior qualities, the higher are sure-to decay and perish.” Fortunes have beta so rapidly accumulated in our! country out of tho regular and beaten paths of ordinary pursuits, that a rage for sudden ac quisitions universally prevails. Wealth is fast .becoming tho citorion of merit, as well as of -individual and social consideration. . Tho in fluence' of this upon the intellect and more manly qualities of a people is disastrous. All the’ higher and nobler faculties of the mind dwindle away, whon brought in contact with the schemes of speculation and tho arts of tho stock-hoard. In that .presence they are as surely blasted as the green spot in tho desert, when swept by the devouring sirocco. “Wis dom, justice, courage, patriotism, and . the like,” dorive their inspiration from a very dif ferent source. It is true, to make money, In the Sharp competitions of trade, may require and develop quickness of judgment and promp titudo of action—qualities deßirabio in them flelyes, but by no means the highest and most desirable. That nation has arrived at a critical stage to its existence; when wealth, and the ease and luxury it secures, are become tho chief objects of ambition. . ■ , - , , , "111 fare: the land, to hastening ilia a prey, Where wealth.accumulates aud men decay.” Tiifi heroic virtues’’have then departed. Duty and honor no longer, hold sway. In any great crisis affecting for weal or woo the good and glory .of, the country through all coming time, the decisive action will be determined, not by public, and patriotic considerations, but by those which, are personal and pecu niary*' The professions, and especially the higher career of politics, will be adopted, not as the means to acquire honor and reputation, and <lo the Stite service, but as the means of making money. Other considerations will be sacrificed to this. A generous ambition withers and died whenever the passion of acquisition gets possession of the mind.. It is on this ground that wars have been vin ,dica(ed. It bast h<?eii said” that thoy withdraw the attention of mankind from those objects that are dwarfing and benumbing them, and fix it upon things of a larger and more mo mentous character.- Their bosoms are aroused apd j agitated by march and encounter of armies, by gallant deeds, and heroic sacri fices. . They become inscnaibly imbued With, a higher and.loftier spirit, and obey with alac rity.'the ball of honor or duty. Such is the argument, and certainly it is not without seem ing force,' Lei u? hope, however, that a,more 'effectual -means to check ’the undue and un righteous .worehip'of Mamindri , may"be found in the wider idhlbsioh of a sound and enno bling literature and the re-awakehing of a more heftHhfhlmbfaltdhe\. . - '> formerly a; member of the legislature, died on the 7lh instant.

Postmasters should be particular to rate letters for the Frenoh mail by the 'quarter-ounce scale, charging a single rate for eaoh” quarter ounoe. or fractional part of a quarter ounce. As this rule is applicable only to: letters despatched in the French zhail/grtat caution is necessary to prevent mistakes the proper postage. , There is‘no principle better settled than that conterminous .proprietors of lands bordorisg on permanent bodies of water hold their aerations as riparian proprietors; Intersporsed, however, over tho are multitudes of shallow lakes, many of f whioh in the early public surveys were supposed to be permanent bodies of water, and wore moabdered accordingly; yet in the changes of climate, and other natural oauses, many of these-lakes are disappearing, in wholo or in part, and have become dry and arable lands. The General Land Offioo has decided that no lands of, this olass fall undor tho swamp grant, and that ho right attaohes theroto under tho riparian law; but that in all oases of this kind the publio surveys must be oxtonded over tho former bods of such lakes, and that the lands must bo disposed pf as other publio'domain. In all eases, however, where settlers, or other in terested parties, aro desirous of soouring titles to any such lands, application should bo mado to the Surveyor General for the suryey to be oxooutod, and propor returns thereof to be mailo to the dis trict and General Land Offioes.

The object of tho adjournment was to allow the busi ness committees time to mako reports. Tho Demo ernl’s correspondent asserts that tho real object of tho ad journment was because the design was to frmno a violent pro-slavery Constitution, and the fear that if such a one were made now, the National Domocrncy of tha North ern States, where oloctions are yet to bo held, would bo seriously damaged.

By. this tonn wo moan every convenience that can be ren dered tho -travelling publio in passing from ono point to another ia the shortest possible period con sistent with safety, precision m the running of trains so that conniotiouS can be made with dif ferent links in the same chain of roads, avoidance of doltiys in any and every form, and various other matters which daily occur to travellers. On some of our roads, wo regrot to say, thoso evils exist to an alarming extent. And this the case on tho lino botwocn here and Buffalo, Dunkirk, and Rochcstor. Tho Commercial List states that pas sengers who leave our sister cities on the lake, and other prominent places In Western New • York for, Philadelphia, nro compelled to go via New York city, or spend a night in El mira ; and if by the latter route, about twenty-eight. hours are consumed in reaching this city. This is nn outrage on the public- Wherever the ditliculty exists, prompt measures should bo takon to work out a speedy reform. Tho railroad advertisements in the Buffalo papers represent a through eonncotlon, notwithstanding this bungling mismanagement on tho part of tho companies is suffered to continue. If the freight business of tho Beading (railroad cannot be so managed as to accommodate the through trains on tho other end of tho lino, (as is alleged,) that road must inevitably bo tho loser in tho proportion of receipts that would naturally accrue from crowded passenger trains, and its business suffer to aoon siderublo extent. Tho communication between hero and the places designated must, to allintenU and purposes, be abandoned, unless better arrange ments can bo made. TUoro is groat oomnlaint about tliis, and of course it has the effect to injure Philadelphia. There is plenty of travel; and now that a good fooling Is springing upbetweon us and our friends in Western Now York, and trado in creasing with them rapidly, it behooves us to use over.v exertion in our power to furnish facilities equal to thoso-afforded by the railroada leading from Now York city The'Confidence Lady,—On Thursday morn ing, Mr. 11. K. Shaw left a note at the store of Ringgold A Richards, No. 1630 Market street, (which firm had been victimized by a lady dressed in deep mourning,) giving bo complete a description of tho party who practised her deception on them, that ono of tho firm at onco started in pursuit. Ho was necoropamcd’by Ofiioor McGinnis,No. 303, of tho Tenth ward. On arriving at,tho house in which tho parties resided, (ns Mr. Shaw has stated,) they wero received in so polite a manner by the lady of tho house, an elderly woman, that it appeared to them that she and lior family must be entirely in nocent of any offence. Sho stated that tho party described by tho offioer and Mr. Shaw had boon an ocoupant of hor houso as a boarder, also her husband. Thoy had left, howover, sho said, early that morning without informing her where they would reside in tho futuro. Tho old lady made this statement in so straightforward a manner that Mr. Ringgold gave up oil expectation of doteoting tho party, believing hor statement to bo truo. But Officer McGinnis had loft the houso, and made inquiry in tho neighborhood regarding the par ties, which led to the information that tho lady, looked for hud always boon recognised as a daughter. But for this it Is probable tho wholo af fair would have beon given up, and the' partios been still at largo. Op loaming this fact, Mr. MoGinnis again re turned to the houso and mado a search, which brought to light tho goods. They aro now at tho Mayor’s office. Mr. lv. could not recognise any of tho goods ns those which his firm had lost, but on sanding word to Messrs. Thornley & Chism, of Spring Garden street, who had been swindled a few days before, Mr. Chism oamo and at onoe ro cogaiscd somo of their goods. Officor McGinnis then arrested tho party who claimed tho trunk in which tho goods woro found. Word had been sont in tho monntimo to tho Mayor’s spooial officers, who carao and mado tho other arrests. Police. Items.— On Saturday evening at 7 o’clook, a horso and wagon woio stolon by somo porson unknown, from a resident of Manayunk. Tho polioo aro on the alort. Chas.

Ho was committed to an swer. Tho sumo defendant was charged some timo sinco with being concerned in stealing a large amount of money from tho Kensington Fish Com pany. Ho was allowed to run in thmeaso, in con sequonoe of a luck of evidence to warrant his final binding over. At a lato hour on Saturday night; Offioer John W. Young, of tho resorvo corp 3, was called in llorgncr’slager beer saloon, under tho post office, to quell a disturbance which was in progress. He arrested B. Brady, W. Bales, and 0. W.

A numbor of portions woro boforo Alderman Eneu on Saturday and yestorday for drunken and disorderly conduct. They wore all appropriately disposed of. The Recent Robbery at the Philadelphia Basil'. —Our rcadors aro acquainted with tho fact that a tin box of valuable papers was stolen from tho Philadelphia Bank on Friday week. Tho losers of (ho box, Messrs. Hacker A Tevis, offered a reward of $lOO, “ ami no questions asked,” for tho reoovery of tho papors. On Saturday morning a gentlemanly-looking man called upon Hacker « Tevis, and stated that ho bed seen an advertise ment offering tho Toward, and inquired whotbor tho promiso to ask no questions would bo faithfully observed. Upon the gentlemen of the firm pro misiug to comply with tboir published pledge, thoy woro invited to go to tho Franklin House, in Chestnut street, and after waiting ten minutes nearly all the papors wero placed in their posses sion, upd tho $lOO reward was paid over. Tho box and pocket-books had been destroyed. The only papers which wero not forthcoming •wero some worthless ohccks. Failures in Philadelphia . —la the Indepen dent's list of failures, suspensions, assignments, Ao., for tho wook ending Wednesday last, we find that one Philadelphia house is reported as haring failed, and eloron susponded. These ‘’suspen sions,” as a general thing, were occasioned en tirely by a want of oonfldenoo in tho community, and tho impossibility of raising monoynt anything like fair rates. Tho various firms mentioned have assots largely in oxcoss of their liabilities, and if their creditors will only exercise a little leniency all will be üblo to extricato themselros from their difficulties, and within six months bo able to pay off thoir present indebtedness. The Death of P.

This verdict was rendered on account of tho evidence of Dr. S. P. Brown, who testified to this fact. The statement made in a cotomporary that a verdict of ‘•Death from causes unknown” was given, is there fore erroneous. It was rumored that Dolnnoy had been knocked dqwu, and suffered from this cause, but Coroner Dolavau last ovening assarod us that such was not tho case, there being no ovidoneo whatover to that- offcot.

M. Although it must be said that tho facilities to ob tain money are for less than the demand for it, thero oan be no doubt that the severity of the pres sure is much relieved, and that for the last four days (since Tuesday) things have been better; and I would say ” easier,” could I state that there ia any material alteration in the rotes of discount from their exorbitant height. So long as “gilt edged” paper can bo bought at 14 and 15 per cent.; first, class endorsed at 15 a 18 percent., and wbat is entitled to bo considered good paper at 20 to 30 per cent., things cqnnot be, laid to be easy ; out they aro nevertheless improved, inasmuch as lend ers are williflgto buy at tnese rates, which they pre viously were not, from the general distrust, almost amounting to panic, which prevailed for some day*. Tho banks arc in such a strong with specie daily flowing in frbm every direction, in the regular course of trade, and, as is generally sup posed, no material deorease in their deposits, that they can, and, I am led to believe, will do much to assist the mercantilocommunity, whose interests are so nearly identified with their own. It is to be hoped, too, that they will not confine their aid to what are known as “ rich houses,” for tho sake of making tbelr loan a sure investment; but that they will also help the weaker concerns who want assistance more, and who are equally deserving to reoeive it. I learn that the, managers of our principal banks aro alive to this fact, and that they are resolved to deal liberally within the bounds of prudence. Numerous as have been oar failures, when it is remembered that the banks contracted their loans overnine millions within three weeks, and rejeoted almost all their offerings, it is only to be wondered at that the failures wero so few.' It is a striking proof of tho strength and solidity of our commercial community that they weathered so severe a storm so bravely and with so little dam age. It is confidently believed that the specie now held by the banks must exceed $14,000,000. Their last statement of $12,181,857 being their average for the week,' was far below too ac tual amount held by them on Monday last, aad since then, between remittances from different parts of the country and Canada, and the disburse ments by the Sub-Treasury, they must bare re ceived every considerable additional strength. Were it not for the lamentable disaster to the Cen tral America, they would have had close on $16,- 000,000 in specie; certainly a basis sufficiently solid to warrant a material relaxation of the screw. Tho difficulty in disposing of exchange, tenders it impossible for produce forwarders to fulfil their or ders for the shipment of grain and flour to Europe. Good “produce bills” find no buyers at 106}, and the best bankers’ bills can be had for cash at 103}. Francs can bo bought easily at 5.20 a 5.22}. Bank ers' rates 5.17} (nominal.) The tendency of the market for exohange is downward, owing to the number of bills for produce exports pressed for sale. The redemption of country bank notes by the Metropolitan and American Exchange banks goes on satisfactorily. The brokers navo not thrown ont the notes of any additional banks, and continue to purchase uncurrent money at tho pres ent high rates, ranging from }to 1 per cent, for State and New England. The settling at the Clearing House this morning was prompt. The cloaringi amounted to $16,293,708 89, and the balance paid in coin to $714,335 75. The cash transactions at the Sub-Treasury were: —Receipts. $76,337 70; Payments, $124,691 42; Balance, $10,290,836 79. The receipts at the Custom nouse for duties to-day were $46,000. The stock markot to-day was exceedingly heavy and depressed, and the deoline in prioes iseansed partly \>y the want of confidence, but mostly from tho scarcity of monoy for the purchase of these securities or for speculation. Michigan Centralis down to 56; Reading to 45}; New York Central to 68}; Erie to 17}; Penn. Coal Co. to 71; and Chioago and Rock Island to 71. State stocks have also declined. Missouri State 6’s closed at 69}; in deed, almost everything is down, and the board of brokers seem to be more disoouragod than even at the height of the panic.

September 19,1»Tf The week which ends to-day wiU be long remembered as the most gloomy and disastrous which-'the business men of Philadelphia have experienced for very away. years There has rarely been exhibited, ifl thi annals of" mercantile Intercourse, a more total lack of confident, and geonrous support than has just been witneaed la our city, and the only wonder of adisbite rested looker. on is that our business men hare not made aa»v*meat r similar to that of the banks In 183 T, looking to a united determination to demand an extension of their pay* meats for a short period of time. That such a movement bu not been made, under the circumstances through which they have labored man* fully to meet their obligations, is in itself a very strong evidence of their real strength, and a cheering indies tlon that the storm has expended its greatest force, and will shortly he followed by fairer weather. Many of our citizens hare permitted themselves to look forward to a suspension of specie payments on the part of the banks as a measure of relief. Perhsp few of those who cherish sueh thoughts know the conse quences that would follow such an set on the port of the banks. In Pennsylvania, suspension cost be followed by liquidation. We presume that all our banka possess a copy ef Pen* don’s Digest ; if they do not, let them send to their solicitors for one, and turn to the title "Banks ” They will there find at page 81, par. 73, the 2Aih sec. tion of the act of 16th April, 1860, ufollows: “ If any bank shall at any time foil or refuse to re* deem its notes, and nay its liabilities in gold and silver coin, upon demand being made at the banking-house of uid bank during banking hours, sueh failure or refusal shall be deemed sod held to be an aisolmU forfeiture of tA« tharltr of said bank.” This Is explicit enough, and the next section of the act Is equally so. It reads as follows : u It shall be the duty of the cashier of any such bank, when required, to give a ceriifieate of the time and amount of the deposit to every person making a deposit; and If any of the said banks skill at my time refuse or neglect to pay on demand in gold or silver any bill, note, or obligation issued by such banks, according to the contract, promi&e, or undertaking therein, expressed, or shall oesleet or refuse to pay on demand tn gold or Stiver any moneys received in such bani on deposit, except in the case of special deposits, when the contract is different, to the parson or persons entitled to reeeire the ume, then, sal in each cam, the holder of any such note, bill, or obligation, or the person or persons entitled to demand and receive such money* as afore said, shall be entitled to receive and recover Interest thereon, at the rate of twelve per cent, per annua,’* Ac., Ac. Now, these provisions are likely tomeet every poaalbfo case that can arise, and they point oat a strait and narrow path for all banks to follow, The remedy is in keeping with the stringency of these enactments. It Is easy, severe, and summary. There are no quirks aad quibbles in this instance to stand in the way of the law audits victim. Justice follows quickly on the heels of the transgressor, and her vengeance is promptly ad ministered. The twenty-seventh section of the same general law provides for an applicatiou to any Court of Common Fleas or District Court, or a single judge thereof, in to cation, for a citation to the officers of a delinquent bank, commanding them to appear at not leas th%n four nor more than eight day* thereafter. And then, if the court are satisfied of the truth of the complaint, the directors of the bank shall make a general assign ukut of all the estate, real and personal, of the Lant to such person as they may select, subject to the appro val of the coart. And, thereupon, their corporate pow ers shall cease and determine, exeept so for as they are necessary for eertain incidental purposes. It is but just to say that our banks are In too sound and healthy a condition to need a remedy likejthls, nor do we believe that they would countenance th» idea. They must, however, guard themselves against the dangerous logic of others, and say to those who are groaning under their heavy payments, and who hope for a suspension, ‘•Gentlemen’s sejkyonr healing balm'elsewhere, and lay not that flattering aactioa toyoor souls.” There Is a bright side to the cloud, which is not only overlooked by the community, bat which, if what we isan index of the common opinion, is generally mis understood. The question Is asked if times are so bad now, what will they be on the 4th of November, when our Dry Goods notes usually fall due ! and the answer is usually entirely in error. From ten days to three weeks since, the obligations of Philadelphia to Kev York, maturing all along from November Ist till the close of the year, were sent over here with orders to *»M at any price. Our strong merchants were tempted with their own paper at I,l#, up to 2 per cent, a month, andiwitted with the remark, «• You may be thought weak If yon don't boy your own paper at such a iata.’f Mortal man couldn’t stand it. They bought up their own obligations, maturing from thirty day* to six months hence, and all those notes, acceptances, Ac., Bo# Bo# .... 80# .... 80# .... 80# that usually load down our Importer* and jobbers from the middle of Ootobes to the end of the year, are gone, bought up, cancelled, never more heard of. We have bought future ease at the priee of present tight ness.' We have paid and are paying dear for our whistle, but we shall have the whistle. There will be very Utile due to New York on the 4th of November next. The balance will be heavily against her. Let no one be **** down by apprehension of the November payments. Tkt November payments art alrtndy mads. A cotemporary asserts that there are several deposits of specie to special order in the New York hanks, which the banks under no circumstances i*n touch, but which are sacredly held for the depositor. This feature of the financiering of New York we cannot too strongly re pre bate. No bask or individnal should hare any preferred creditors. Fair play is a jewel. Why should one do posit be more sacredly held than every otherT If n man fears robbery, ana does not keep the golden tempt ation about him, but chooses the vaults of a banking house, let him accept one risk In exchange for another. The risk of bank failure is no greater than the risk of robbery or murder. But let no officer lend the shelter of his institution to the selfish wretch who seek* by a special deposit, under seal to secure his share of coin, waiting and hoping for a general crash, In order 4» come down npou the heap of ruin, and pick aad chaos* what he shall boy with his ill-kept treasure. Do any of our banks lend themselves to this iniquitous lying Da wait to prey upon others’ misfortunes ? ■ The stock market show* no Improvement In any kind of seenrity, and in almost every thing a foiling off of #to SI per share. This is the natural consequence of the excessive stringency of the money market. The Arago, which sailed yesterday for Havre, via Southampton, carried out only (27,000 in specie.
