' l l r t s TUESDAY, 'OCTOBER 20, 1857. On the first page will be found editorials on Thickeray's forthcoming Novel, and the Crisis in other States 1. a Washington Letter; Private Banking in 'California ; a Communication On -the Relief Bill; Correspondence between 1 Beriater " Douglas and the President; the - Northern' Light on a Coral Reef; General Ne*s, Mr To-morrow we will publi eh the recent and brilliant speech ,of , Tuomes Fnenors Ibrionsa. - Also, iteasons,!' &0., by An 'maw liman, TO RNEIPS STEAMER miss, FOR CALI•, IMMO In consequence of numerous letters received by the last California. mail, we determined to 'publish an edition of Tar Plums, exclusiiely for circulation in California, Oregon, Wash ington Territory, and along the Pacific coast, ,and yesterday the first number of the Steamer Puss was issued. This number was neces sarily imperfect, owing to the short time al.: - . lowed for its preparation; but still, we think it folly equal in all its departments to any pa per of a similar character sent froia the At lan& States. Our whole edition, with the ex ception of some twelve hundred copies ordered by Mr. Somaves, our agent in San Fran oisio, was exhausted yesterday long be-, fore the closing of the mail, and we are now fully convinced that the publication of such a paper in Philadelphia must be eacceSs fa'. The Stearner Plass will be issued regu larly every fortnight hereafter, on the 4th and 19th of each month, the days previouti 'to the sailing of-the steamer, endwill contain a com plete summary , of nova np to the hour of going to press. Tax Parse will be devoted prinCi pally to Philadelphia and :Pennsylvania in. lelligence ;' our object being' to ' promote •the interests of our city and State on .the Pa cific. This, we think, can be accomplished by publishing a paper which will command a ready sale in California, and which will bring before the business and reading community, of that quarter a semi-monthly compendium of what is transpiring in this. • The Steamer Pans will tie 'sold , at, our counter, in strong wrappers, and stamped ready for mailing, at five cents per copy. Orders will be received in advance'., THE NEWS FROM EUROPE. • ' We haVe news from Europe four days later • than that brought by the Vanderbilt.

The tele- IraPhed summary of intelligence brought by - • her will ha found under its groper heed. As q; 3 nsual, we shall briefly indicate hero what it is. The day on which the mall 'left was kept ; as one of solemn National Hum illation and Prayer, on account of the Rebellion in India. The order so to dedicate that day was forced alien the Ministry by a certain pressure from , ',without applied through the religious newspa pers, and also by the Earl of Shafteibury and the Evangelical clergy and laity of.whonf ho 'its a sort of chief. In this country; perhaps, ; he may be,better known by his former, title of Lord ASHLEY, and remembered for. the active part he took, while a member of the House of Commons, in favor of abolishing the labor of women in coal mines, and of diminishingtho number of hours in which, each day, children were to work in the cotton and other factories. Considering in what terms,', more curt than courteous, Lord PatstEnsrox; a few pears ago, snubbed certain Well-meaning pereens in Scot - land, who wished him to set apart. , ar day , for Humiliation and Prayer, when the har - vest was • had, (telling them that God would help those who helped themselves, by using the iiiiprOyed Methods of agriculture which modern 'science has introduced,) it is not probable that the present step was voluntary on his part. 'But it , was the late JOSEPH Hums; and not Lord PAL.. xensrosr, Wise ',declared that', concluding Queen's speech, at the close of a session, with an expreesiea of gratitude to Divine Providence, was a .humbug. Lord.Paammitirox, at- least, has not openly expressed such a sentiment as • , The long-expeoted ,change ,of ; ministry at . Madrid has taken place.

The New York Courier and Enquirer, of a late date, recommends, as a desirable modifica tion of the banking system, a provision that 61 no bills under five dollars be hunted for the present, and none under twenty dollars after January, 1859." , A siMilar'yolicy IS earnestly advocated in many qMoersi e`,,A.l#ge propor tion of those who ha r te nitiM atteutively 'stu died, and who beats eMtapieficild, the banking system, including many who are closely iden tified with it and deeply interested in its ope rations as stockholders, directors, or bank officers, have become thoroughly satisfied that bank notea, under twenty ,dollars, should not be iiumfie The' eXperlineht of a paper cur rency,--of-low. denominations, has proved a failure. It has utterly broken down. There is no necessity for it The National Govern ment, by the operations of the mint, is abun dantly able to ihrnisb all the currency required for ordinary small business trans actions. The increased demand for small coins which a prohibition of small notes would create couldbe readily supplied in a short time. With our largely increased stack of Califor nia gold, the vacuum that would be created by doing away with notes of the denominations of five and ten dollars could now be easily sup plied, just as silver was readily found after the destruction of shinplasters under one dollar, .and as, in Pennsylvania, after prohibiting the issue of notes under five dollars, the channels of circulation were completely purged of un sound and greasy small bills, and their place supplied by an abundance of specie currency. The whole banking system of the country has, for the third time in fifty years, broken down, and the fourteen or fifteen hundred banks of the United States hive suspended specie payments. The theory of our system is, that banks are to' pay specie on demand, and they are all chartered expressly on that condition. Experience, however, has demon strated that, in reality, they never can pay, if they are caUcitspon to, do so. From the very nature of their organization, and the character of the liftainess:they transact, their ability to meet their engagements, and to comply with .the' requisitions of their charters, depends solely,upon the degree of confidence or fer bearinee with which they are able to inspire the community.' At best, therefore, the sys tem - is an unsafe. one. Many remedies have been proposed, and there Is no doubt that various new guards and checks 'may advan tageously be engrafted upon the banking sys tems of the 'different States. But it will be impossible to'effect 'any very valuable reform, unless the specie basis of the country, and of the banks themselves, is enlarged. In England' and in France small notes are not tolerated at all. Their lowest denomina tions of paper money are above twenty dollars. Coin is the 'circulating medium for all ordi nary small business transactions. In times, f panic, therefore, there can be no run upon their banking institutions, such as we see, in this country, by thousands and tens of thou sands of men holding notes of small denomi nations. The precious metals, too, are con stantly accumulating, just where they shohld accumulate, in the hands of the masses of the people'. Under the,tuinous small-note system of Now York and New England, specie is com pletely driven from the ordinary channels of cir culation, and gold coins of this lower denomina tions are almost chriositlei. Even Under the im proved system of Pennsylvania, witch- prohi bits notes under five dollars, but tolerates those of that denomination and often dollars, the sup. ply of specie among our people does not accum ulate as rapidly as It would if no noted under twenty wore issued. If we had no notes under the latter denomination, oven if the banks did usiend, the great body of the people would not be subjected to any serious loss or incodveni thee, for their ordinary currency would not be vitiated or affected by suchinumension. Their circulating medium would be established on a sound and immutable basis-,--it would be found ed on a cash, not on a credit system—they would have in their hands money, not the mere promises of banking Institutions (liable at any moment to be broken) to pay them money: • With the ,specie basis of the "countsyi in creased by, suoh a measure as Unit suggested above, and the banks themselves placed upon a More Build fatidation than 'they have here tofore possessed, we might look forward with some degree of confidence for security in tie future, and hope to avoid tho frightlhl dean cial revulsion!' , which have so often spread dismay and' havec throughout the land. THE MOAT OF FAHAT/CISH. In these dap! of cent per cent, when every gold dollar appears as unique as if, bathed of being coined yesterday, it had been dug mit by Mr. LA,TALan ii•oresome American Nineveh, it may serve a good purpose to turn away front the study of ,financial ruin, and refresh ourselves, by, way of, y,ariety', with a good look at the de cay of fanaticism. It we grieve to heart-bieak ing over, the sufferings of thousands of honest men, many, of theui 'wine of our nearest friiinds —if we, mourn over the prospective poverty of crowds of the sons 'of toil-L-we are certain to realize a change for the better in'the Observa tions ,upon the overthrow of those merelii fac tious' organizations 'which ere the product of our days of prosperity, precisely as weeds and noxious herbs are apt to start into a rank growth; on the most" luxuriant soll4-and which, we should add, are tolerated,' not because they do any good, but because, when there is so much that is healthy and wholesome, we do not feel, or do not care for, that which is the reverse. If we aro now sur rounded with great dangers, we may be glad, because all small differences have fled from our midst.' If we have seen honest and energetic merchants, mechanics, and manufacturers, prOstrated by misfortunes not of their own creation, we may congratulate ourselves that there is but• one sentiment in 'the country— that of heart-felt sympathy for their privations. The contemptible feuds about slavery; the shameful depreciations of our Southern follow countrymen; the shrieks over bleeding Kan sas; the clamor of makingthe North paratrionnt to the South'; and all the foolish fanfaronade of fanaticism, only yesterday; bow awkwardly do they seem to us now ! How much like the brass tinsel and false velvet, and pewter Jew 'dry, of the political stage, after the play, and when the painted ball-room has been deserted. The people aro looking to sterner virtues ; to more hardy principles; to A more enduring creed, in this their hour of woe, than the miserable theories which' caught so many thousands' in our days'of sunshine.

According to a statement made, it seems that a fight com menced between the . parties and a man named John Hilton joined with Dentiovan, and the fight became general.l Then Henry L. Sutton drew a - knife and inflicted a deep gash upon Donnovan's head, three in the breast, and one on the.arm. Sutton ran down' Pearl street, on to Liverpool wharf, followed by. Hilton, who said that he in tended to chastise the man who had stabbed his cousin, and advanced towards Sutton with 4 pen knife in his hand, when be (Sutton) made a plunge •at him with the knife, the blade of which entered the neck, and with a downward direction, pene trated the lunge. He immediately fell, and was conveyed to an apothecary's shop, where he died in about twenty minutes. •The murderer was stilt upon the wharf, and the crowd undertook' to capture him, but as he was armed with his bloody weapon, many were afraid to epprosoh him, A teamster armed him self and called upon Batton to surrender, which ho refused to do r whereupon Mr. Jacob Todd ran up behind the man and grasped him' about the waist, and endeavored to disarm' him, when Sutton stabbed Mr. Todd in the thigh, making a deep flesh wound. He. was taken to his residence, in West Concord street, and during the evening was very feeble: Sutton was finally overpowered, disarmed, and taken into custody by surer Vino', of the Second pollee station, and others, who immediately con vaYed him to the Tombs. Donnovan was taken from his boarding house and conveyed to the Hospital, where he was at tended by physielans, who expressed as their opinion, that although the man's injuries ware of a dangerous nature he , would probably recover.

FROM WASHINGTON [Cerreepondenee of The Press.] The Prealdent—Remonds—Sleep.ef-War—Gun Wasfintaros, Oct. 19, 1857. The President comes to town early every morn ing from the Soldier's Home, 'and occupying a room Alt the State Department, is busily engaged with the Seoretary of State in preparation for the meeting of Congress. On the street there are rumors of removals from the State Department, and appointments to fill the vacancies; but I can find no foundation for them, and refrain, therefore, from publishing the names which are given. The ',iron work for the sloop•of--war to be con struoted at Philadelphia will be given out to the lowest bidder. The advertisement requesting bids to bomade will soon be published. ' I should not be surprised if the Secretary of the Navy recommended to Congress the oonstruotion hereafter of vessels of small draught Instead of more of the huge steamers like the' Minnesota and Niagara, which can only enter one or two ports in the East India and China seas. Gun•boate of small draught, you will remember, was a pet measure of Thomas Jefferson. The following advioea have been recently re ceived at the Navy Department : U. S. STEAK FRIGATE " NIAGARA," RETRAM DOCK YARD, nritourn, October let, J 857. Sin : I have the honor to report that we have landed all the machinery so unfortunately employed in laying out the telegraphic cable from the Ni agara. A large water-tight warden tank is being prepared at this yard for the reception of the cable, and I have every reason to believe, from the manner the work is progressing, that we shall commence discharging the cable on Monday next, the sth instant. I enolose herewith a copy of my totter to the board of directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany of the 22d of Soptomber, with their &orate ry's reply.' I avail myself of the occasion to report the transfer of Lieut. 0. IL Wells to the U. S. steamer Susquehanna on the 29th ult. by order of Capt. Sands, to supply the plane of Lieut. Harris, oho returns home from that ship sick, and to Mato that the officers and crow of the Niagara aro in goad health. I ankrespootfully, Your obd't servant, Wcr. L. HODSON, Copt Ron. I. Toncsr, Secretary of the Navy, Wash ington. Captain Hudson, under date of September 22d, writes from Keyham to the directors of the Atlan tic Telegraph Company, that on Friday, the 19th instant, he bad received an official communication from Admiral Sir James H. Piamridge, proposing to take the Niagara into Rayburn basin on the 17th last., for the purpose of landing the cable and machinery. The ship was hauled in, as proposed, but before reaching her berth in the basin, a telegraphic de. epatch from the Admiralty informed the admiral superintendent that the telegraphic cable was not to bo landed until further,:orileni. Bad it been supposed that the cable was not to have been landed before the vessel was taken into the ba sin, ho would have remained at his mooring, and not have subjected the officers and crew to the many restraints and inconveniences rendered ne cessary in a basin or dock yard. He had declined the use of one of the hulks in the harbor intended fur the officers and crews of vessels laying in the basin. Ho demanded to know what conclusion the board had reached. The secretary of the board replied that they regretted the inconveniences un der which Captain Hodson, and his of f icers and crow labored, and that they had arranged to re lieve him from his embarrassment immediately.

Third moon, 23d day, (17 April, 18570 loft Amoy, and on 26th day arrived atßoh-lie. After landing, it rained for many days; took up our quarters et the Ange Inn. Owing to the rains, we could not eat about making inquiriis until the first day of the fourth moon (24th April, 1857.) Gool-Kep-Ea- Sin and Ong Clint went to village of Banca, leav ing Jeh Mooy at Hoh-lie makting Inquiries, as also giving notices of rewards for information. On the same day, (1001-Kep-Ke-Bin and Ong- Chut reached Banes, and put up at the house of Chuang°, and proceeded to make inquiry. On the 2d day of the moon, (25th of April s ) they asked at the kfandarin's office, and ascertained that in the 20th year of Jaen Kwang, 51840,) a vessel was lost at Queroalas, with 130 foreigners, both black and white, who were taken to Tai-wan, where the Man darins, Tat and Oan, killed them all. On the sth day, 28th April, they ascertained that, during the 9th moon of the 22d year, (Decem ber, 1842,) at the village of Bin-pan-le, a vessel was wreaked, with 18 foreigners alive; two had beau drowned at the wreak. One of the bodies was washed ashore, and buried by the villagers. The rich Chinese purchased the eighteen survivors and delivered them to the Mandarins at Ifoh-lie sailed Tan-Tai-Kun, who sent them to Tai-Wan, whence they were sent to Foo-Choo to be forward ed to Canton for transmiasiou to their country. The anchor of this vessel may yet, be seen on the beach. On the 9th day (2d May) proceeded to the village of San Oayen, and took up their quarters in the shop of Andre. On the 16th (3d May) engaged six middlemen, who went into the country. In the interior there are Chinese who say a vessel may be lost on the other aide of the island. On the 17th (10th May) returned to Banes, and learned there', that about five years ago, a small fishing boat with five Indians was lost on thecoast,and that the men wore returned to their country. On the 19th (12th May) engaged middlemen again to go into the country to inquire whether, eight years ago, any vessel was lost. On the 22d (15th May) they returned and re- plied that they could learn nothing of auy such a loss. On the 24th (May 17th) they pro ceeded to the north part of the district; neither there could they learn any news. On the 7th of the bile month (29th May) they returned to Amoy by junk.

THE ELECTIONS. In Ohio, the result, though not so decided as in Pennsylvania, is quite as significant. We have given the returns up to the last mo ment, by which it will bo seen that the chances in favor of the Democracy are good. The Ohio Democrats have taken ground in favor of the Independent Treasury for the preservation of their State revenues, and this, with the di visions in the opposition ranks, by the seces sion of a large number of Americans into a separate organization, added to the establish ment of peace in Kansas, seems to have done the work of Republicanism there. t ire :give the last returns from Ohio : Tho returns show gains for the Democracy.

OISOINNATI. Oct. 17, P.M.—Reported returns from all the counties in the Plate have been received, but each party claims a majority of (oar bundled votes *Jr Its candidate. Official Morns will be required to decide the result. OIXOINNATI, Oct. 77—Evening,—The malt of the election for Governor is still undecided. The Republi cans figure up a majority for Governor Chase of 1024, while the Democrat,' claim 800 majority for their candi date. In lowa, a Democratic victory seems to be certain, up to the present writing. The Demo crate in this State fought on the principle of hostility to negro suffrage, which the Repub licans advocated; and this, with other causes, including the decay of Republicanism, and the breaking up of a corrupt banking system all over the country, has given them the advan tage. Tho returns from Minnesota are just begin ning to arrive. In this State the Republicans and the Democrats united upon the same eon. stitution, with the exception of a separate clause which was presented to the people on the subject of negro suffrage, the Democrats against it, the Republicans in favor of it. They elect one delegate to Congress until the State is admitted into the Union, which will be early next Congress. They also elect three members of Congress, which shows the rapid increase of Minnesota in population, which three members take their seats the moment the constitution, which has been adopted by an overwhelming majority, is accepted by Congress. It is supposed that Hon. Heinv M. RIOE will be one of the Senators to be elected by the Legislature chosen on Mon. day last. The news just received at the de parture of the steamer shows that the Republic ans have probably carried Minnesota. The following is the latest despatch : The tide of victories has not been confined to the Free States. It will be icon that Georgia and Mississippi have rolled up enor mous majorities for the Democratic t,party. We give the returns as far as reeei4 An election was hold in Mlssissippl,on the 6th instant, for State officers, and Ave mdm bars of Congress. Tho Democrats have car' tied everything by immense majoritles2-Ifc- Wimp, Governor, and five members of Con gress. GUBERNATORIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL In this State Judge Ilitowx, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has a majority, of about 13,000. The result of tho Congres sional emotion is about as follows: In tho first district Col. Reward (Devi.) is no doubt elected by 400 or 600 majority over both Gauldon and Bartow. In the mond district Judge Crawford beats Mr. Elam over 1,400 votes. In the third district Mr. Trlppe'e (Am.) majority ovor Col. Dailey to about 400. In the fourth dietriot Col. Gartrell (Dem.) beats Mr. Tidwell ovor 1,000 votes. In the fifth district we have not received enough returns to make a close estimate, but we think Judge Wright's (Dem.) majority will be near 3,000. In the sixth district Judge Jackson's (Dem.) !no jority will be over 2,000. In the seventh district Mr. Hill (Am.) beats Mr. L. Stephens about 275 votes. In the eighth district the majority of Hon. A. H. Stephens (Dem.) over Mr. T. W. Miller's 1,267. The Demooratlo majority in the Legislature is very large. The Augusta Constetursona/ist of the 11th says: " We hive full returns (which we publish in an other column) from one hundred and five counties, which give the Democratic candidate for Governor a majority of nine thousand four hundred and seventy-two votes, according to our calculation. The remaining thirteen counties are Applin, Chart. ton, Clinch, Coffee, Colouitt, Berrien, Dide, Ba raboo, Irwin, Marion, Weriwether Union, and Ware. From all but o rt very few of thesis havit we reported majorities, American and Democratic, which lend us to believo that the majority of Judge Brown over Mr. Hill will equal, if it does not ex ceed, that of Governor Johnson over Judge An drews in 1855, which was ten thousand two hundred and fifty-six votes." Brown's (Democratic) majority for Governor, in the State of Georgia, exoeeds ton thousand. Six Democrats to two Americaris are elected to Con gress, being a Democratic gain of one.

MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW TORE. [From the New York papers of yetterday.] BLOODY AND UNPROVOKED MIIIIDER—ESCAPE Or Tan MURPEREIt.—About 15 o'clock on Saturday night, an unprovoked and diabolical murder was perpetrated in Tenth avenue, near Twenty-first street, by ono of a gang of three miscreants. John Swenson and his wife were rettuniug home from market at the hour above named, and while pass ing through Tenth avenue, near Twenty-first street, were conversing together when the gong referred to made their appearance, and one of them, pretending that he thought Swenson's remarks were intended for him, naked him what he was saying. Mr. S. replied that be had not spoken to Tho fellow then struck Mr. Swenson and knocked hint into the gutter. Mr. S arose and started 'awards his assailant, but before reaching th a ruffian, who was about eighteen years of ago, turned and plunged the blade of a dirk into his breast. Mr. S. fell mortally wounded; and died a few moments afterward. As soon as the fatal wound was inflicted, the three ruffians tied. A lad named David Scott was the only person, except those above named, who DIM the ,blow struck. Dr. Robert Rd saw the ruffians running away, and heard Mr. Swenson crying "murder.' The policeman on duty in the neighborhood was away, he having gone to the station-house with a prisoner. The circumstance was, however, FOOD made known at the sixteenth ward station-house, and Inspector Carpenter despatched several men to carry the body of deceased to his late residence, and to search for the murderer. The officers did as they were directed, but, though they scoured the neighborhood for several hours, did not suc ceed in effecting the arrest of the assassin. Mrs. Swenson has partially described the dress of the murderer, and it answers to that given by Scott. Tho deceased was a native of Scotland, thirty-two years of age. Iht was an industrious and temper ate soon, and was employed as a machinist and en gineer. Litter from Ifinatio.

Relief i}letliag for Twentieth Ward.— Pursunut to announcement, a meeting of the citi zens of Twentieth ward was held in - the Hall, northwest corner of Girard avenue and Spring Garden street, last evening, at 7i o'clock. The meeting was organized by calling Professor WlLLiam 11. ALLEN to the chair. On taking his seat, the chairman stated, in a very forcible and feeling manner, the object for which they were as sembled. The labor which they were called upon to perform was one of humanity and Christian duty, and should enlist the co-operation of all, ir respective of name or sect; it surmounted all party feeling, and he hoped, whatever might be determined upon, that this would be borne in mind, that our charities must not cease with a thigle donation; the bounties of Heaven were be ing constantly lavished upon no, artd it was hence our ditty, in grateful response, to' continue our charities while their aid was demanded. As the sun shone unceasingly upon the world through the day, so our charities must descend upon' the needy —as the dews descend by night, must our boun ties bless the suffering poor.

There being no further business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock, to meet at the call of the committee. Cadet., of Temperance.—The parade of the Cadets of Temperance took place yesterday, and was a very creditable affair. About nine o'clock in the morning the line began to form on Spring garden street near Broad, and such exeitement as there prevailed we have seldom witnessed. The line began to move at ten o'clock precisely, and the following are the principal features of the pa rade: The Chief Marshal and assistaats on horseback, led the van. Behind them was a brass band, fol lowed by Good Samaritan Section, No. 1, of the Cadets of Temperance. The members of the sec• tion were attired in white shirts, with fanciful rashes, dark pants, and black cape, with the name of their organization placed in the Loot. Some of them had belts around their waists, on the front of which was also printed the name of the Good Sa maritan, and some had caps of tic• or. pewter suspended to the belts aforesaid, as emblematical of the cause of cold water. A majority of them were very youthful in appearance. The aeetlon displayed a magnificent banner of blank velvet, an incredible number of wreaths, small and large slugs and fanciful decorations. Some were Imbibed as sailors. William Penn had a representative, and there were some half dozen Mohican Indians. One of the banners of the organization contained a beautiful painting of the deed of the Good Sa maritan. Friendship Section, No. 8, came next in order. Their banner was draped in bleak, in mourning. Tho members were attired as those of the former ecotion. Germantown Section, No. 1, displayed some very small boys, who, however, were sheltered under very handsome banners. Axemen were in this Silver Spring Section, No. 20, made a firm dis play. Their banners Were equal to any that we Have ever seen. A portion of them wore attired as sailors, and exhibited their patriotism and de votion to the water cause (sailors being semi aquatic) by carrying American flags A peculiar ornament was in the form of a bell made of artfifi dal flowers, and suspended from a meta of the ~roe material. Elm Tree Section, No. 27, with their deooratioils, were but a fae•simile of those that had preo4ed them. Manayunk Seaton, No. 40, with a hassdnwought up the rear. The procession moved over the route which we have already published. Pennsylvania Colosizalitos Society.—W e gave yesterday a list of the recently-elected officers of this society. We learn that the past year has been a memorable one in the history of the AmeriCan Colonisation Society. The superior ship ~‘ Miry Caroline Stevens," 713 tens burden, built mainly by the munificent gift of $36,000 friars Mr. John Stevens, has made two voyages to the African lieptibliol with 217 passengers on the first trip, and 222 on the second. These constitute the total emigration for the past year-439 persons. The ship is now at Baltimore, preparing to Sail again on the Ist proximo. The greatly-exagge rated report of a famine or scarcity in Liberia has caused quite a number to postpone their intention of going at this lime, and perhaps forever. Health an 4 prosperity have prevailed through out Liberia. The State of Cape Palmas has been formally united with the Republic, thus making the extent of the coast line of the Liberia Com monwealth as far as from Portsmouth, N. 11 .; to Norfolk, Va., the territory containing about 23,400 Einar° miles. The new towns of Robertsport, at Grand Cape Mount, on the seaboard, and Carr burg, about thirty miles hick on the high lands of the interior, have preyed very eligible and salu brious points for settlers, so much so that but few cases of acclimating fever have occurred among their inhabitants. The churches have generally been visited with revivals of religion. The native tribes are becoming more and more subject to the 1 twe, and aoeustomed to the manners and habits of civilized life. ' The increase of Liberia is gra dual but sure, modest but firm, her expectations large, and her achievements unprecedented in the history of that race. These blots, which we have learned from the usual annual statement of the board of managers, a concise, a carefully prepared document will be found of general and encoura ging interest to the friends of the Afrioan Coloni sation cause Police Ilems.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, a shabbily•dreesed man, who was much intoxicated, was arrested at Thirteenth and Christian streets, on suspicion of having stolen a new coat, which he bad in his possession. The suspected individual was taken to the station house and searched, when eight hundred and five dollars in gold were found in his pockets, together with some bank notes and valuable papers. It was , übsequontly ascertained that the stranger was from Memphis, Tennessee, and that the property found about him was his own. The indiscreet stra Igor may congratulate himself upon his arrest, as it was the moans of saving his money, and pre venting him from getting into the clutches of those who are ever on the alert for such victims. A. colored girl, named Harriet Ringland, who lived in Lombard street, between Sixth and Sev enth, left early yesterday morning, with about -ixty-five dollars'worth of clothing belonging to other parties, The polleswere informs!' of the rob bery, sod a despatch was eent to the First ward Station-house. The thief was found seated in a car, bound for Wilmington, with the plunder in . her possession. Dinah was slightly astonished at the facility with which the lightning tracked her out. A hearing in the case of the persons charged with maintaining a panel establishment, in Green street, took place yesterday afternoon, beDire Al derman Enett, at the central pollee station. • After n full investigation all the parties were committed to answer at court. The silver stolen from the re sidence of the Rev. John Chambers, an account of which we gave yesterday, was recovered in their possession. The arrest was a most important one, and reflects muelmfredit upon the detective qualifi cations of High Constables Russell and Trefts, who effected it. Yesterday, Henry Russell, Franklin Drake, and Isaac Shinn, election officers of the seventh pre cinct of the Twelfth ward, were before Alderman Clark charged with a misdemeanor in office in re• fusing to accept the vote of Mr. Charles Eggers tort They were held in $5OO bail each to answer at court. Religious Intelligence.—The Rev. J. K. Conrad has accepted a call to the rectorship of All Sainte' Church, Philadelphia. This _parish was formerly under the charge of Rev. H.. E. Montgo mery, now of New York. The Sodality of St. John's Church, Thirteenth street, below Market, participated in a celebration on Sunday evening. The church was filled to its utmostespacity, and the exercises were of an posing character. The committee which has been engaged, for se veral years past, in preparing a new Liturgy for the German Reformed Chinch, is now holding its final sessionsin the old Consistory Room of the First German Reformed Church of this city. In this room, and around the very table now need by this committee, some of the earliest members of the church were acoustomed to meet, pray, and con sult together many years ego. The committee has nearly completed its work, and exts to place all the material of it in the publisher's pec hands before closing its present sessions. The new Liturgy, it is supposed, will make a book of about four hundred pages, of which three hundred pages are already stereotyped, and will vrovide forms for all the usual services of the Christian Church. The Old Cent.—A large quantity of this coin still remains in circulation in our city. When the new cent was issued we welcomed it, not so mach for its abstract attractiveness as for the pleasing contrast it presented to the then current copper. We then fancied that the imParedded cent would follow in the wake of flps, levies, and pistareens, but it appears we were doomed 'to dis appointment. The old cent is &despicable wit , of circulating medium. Its fashionable stoves they are never tendered to a lady Unless 4ret wrapped in paper. Who, wearing spotless white gloves, would contaminate them. by handling th e di rty coin? Who kripw4 to what extent they are in fected—who handled them last, or what impurities may be mingled with The verdigris that corrode!' their surface?

LETTER FROM NEW YORK. iCorrespondenee of The Press.] Maw Year, 0ct.19.1357-6.20 P. The week opens heavily. The fear that the banks are not going to sat liberally, and that they are trying to deceive each other and_ the public, creates an uneasiness and depression which no promises can dispel. Business at the note-broken is very dull. Rates are perhaps a shade easier, but scarcely anything doing. The gloom of despair site on commercial men. They have heavy liabilities coming due, without a hope of getting relief from the banks, and money not to ho had elsewhere, except at a sacrifice tantamount to failure. I can sae no signs of the buoyant feeling alluded to by some of the daily papers'. I can see a great-deal of apathy, but no disposition to "to make the best of it," except among those who are either quite safe, or have nothing of which to make, the best or worst. There was a meeting of the Clearing horse on Saturday evening, when the following re_NAn lions were adopted : irkercos, It hsa been deemed eepedient,daring the s'us'pension of specie payments by the banks in this city, to receive and pay out, at par, the notes of the banks in this State generally, and aloe to admit the mace in set cement of Mamma at the clearinghouse; awl Whereas, There is special danger at this )unclose of the undue expansion of paper marefey; particularly of these States which are ant, like those of New Turk, re stricted In the extent of their imam by securities re quired by law; and Whereas.
