Congress, im posing tax upon bank notes of the lesser de nominations, will attract general attention SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETIES. The sentiment of hostility to secretpoliti 1 associations has now become national. 'While it was surrounded with the glare of a patriotle hut 'Mistaken motive, and hidden • under the fell which . excited the curiosity of thousands, it swept over a number of the States of the Union, putting many good men out and cariy ing many bad men into high position. /Jut owing to the manner in which the whale scheme was exposed and betrayed 'tia; public criticism, its decline was as rapid as Its rive, and its history furnishes a new.exempliticatihn of the truth,,that no party not , fonndeti upim enduring principle can long survive inthis age of progress and of inquiry: It is, amazing, however, that, with the fate of such an organi zation before all men, there should be' zrow'in existence, in this community, another secret Political organization, bound together, as ive have every reason to understand, by signs and obligations, and intent upon carrying certain • projects by combinations in the various wards of :the city. We do not speak from rumor, but from the positive declarations of. those candid' and enlightened men who 'have de. flounced the existence of such a party, ad have admonished those with 'atom 'they ha -e influence to avoid it: This organization, -like that which may now be called a mere re collection of the past, appeals to the sympa thies of our citizens of Irish birth, anrlclairis to number some thousands of adherents. We trust there Is little danger that such a party can attain very great influence in our community, opposed, as it is, by every intelligent, right minded citizen, whether of foreign or uati*e extraction. Our object in this article is simply to state our unyielding opposition to, all such Mendes tine political cabals, and to declare in advance, that any politician entrusting himself, to such 'a cabal, is sure to prepare'himeelf for an over whelming rebuke at the polls. The manner of conducting the primary elections of most of the political patties, for years past, has-been generally and justly complained of., Quiet men cannot' participate in theso elections,; if they attempt to do so, they te, in too many cases, elbowed or crowded away; and no* thid an election of great importance has passoil over, and preparations are being Made for arm titer, we deem it right, in all . frankneis, to de clare that patiently as the system of conduct ing primary elections has been submitted to, (and chiefly because this system has beob about the best that could bo contrived short cf the enactment of a law to secure fair voting in these assemblages of the people,) there is stern spirit abroad never to tolerate the pack ing of wards by secret political parties, whe ther they are called by the sobriquet of "Mol ly Naguirea ":'—a not very graceful appellation for a great party, but scarcely less graceful than "Know Nothingism "—or whether they rally 'Under the more glittering title of a American ism." UNFORTUNATE MR.BANKE The Boston Courier, an old-line Whig Jour nal, seems to take great pleasure in showing up the inconsistencies and absutditiaa of the late speech of the Hon. N. P. Bainas, Repub lican candidate for Governor of Massachu setts. This speech is Intended to revive the' double excitements of Abolitionism and a high tariff for protection, but the Courier, while by no means indisposed to the theory of high du- Heil, has not been caught by the abundant chaff of Mr. BANKS. The following extract from the article of the Courier serves to ex hibit the ex-Speaker of the House of Repre. sentatives in no enviable light. " Nor have we any more faith in those swelling mountains of figures with which Mr. Banks forti ties and amplifies his speeches, and for which be is becoming noted at least, if not famous. Ho told the Wall-street merchants last fall, that 'the people of -the United States would give to the world in 1856, as their part of the industrial pro duct of the human race, forty-five hundred mil dollars.'

(Cong. Globe, p. 912.) To what can we impute such a change of front, except to the convenieece of ,h ir new theory to his own net; position and'uni purposes? "But we forbear, though we had' much more to' say of this empty yet fallacioes harangue., Our space' fOrbids the further. pursuit of the subject to•day. There are those who will be imposed upon by it. The extravagant estimate whieh or dinary men ~sometimes put upon themselves too often passes current with the unthinking Multi tude. ,Intelligent persons, who read this speech and reflect on the . subjects it discusses, and Mr. Banks's own history, pretensions, and present party objects; will see it in its true light. Ah ! sad spectacle for Ilfa'isachusetts, once led by the wisest and best men of . the nation, to ho thus reduced to the instructions of Memrs. Banks and Wilson, and , the rest! As sure as truth is superior to presumptuous ignorance—as sae as political ' tergiversation betrays Insincerity alq; unsoundness of )!rinciple: so men of this stamp have only their own selfish objects in view, and not the public welfare. They may he talkative and artful, but they are neither wise, nor eloquent with the promptings of the heart: Veil skilled to keep vain thoughti alive, And all to protpleo, nought to give,-- wildered children leavitheir home, After-the talit:itlow's arch to roam, Theirfilioieers batter fair esteem, Warne, faith, and honor, for a dream)? We have'but a word to say, and that is sug gested by thn coiamenta. of the Courier. 'The attempt to charge the present collapse in money matters upon the reduction of the tariff is Die most Purblind partisanship. The North American may hammer out yards of edi torials in support of this theory, but the day has gone by when dead prejudices can be re animated by such appeals. And yet, while this is so, we do not at this time recommend free trade as the best panacea for the times. The tariff of 1846 was itself in a great degree a protective tarid; and no considerable party in this country is yet ready to write free trade upon its banners, and to carry these banners to success. We are for the revenue policy as ad vocated by the present President of the Uni ted Stites, Mr. BuoniNAN,, in his repeated speeches while a Senator in Congress. Ills platform on this subject has always been ours; and there can be no question that, if he had not led off against the rampant free-traders on the one hand, and the 'ultra protectionists on the other, we could never have reached that safe middle course upon which our revenue policy may be, said to be estab lished; at least 'so flir as foreign iron is con. corned. , The idea that an inexorable ad ea/Orem system of duties shall prevail is not our idea. We are for specific duties in certain Cases, and especially upon foreign iron. There never was, in our opinion, any great principle involved in this,question between specific and ad valorem duties, and we stand ready, hero and now, as a Pennsylvanian and a Democrat, to advocate this view before the country.— But we are opposed to the revival of any of the high tariff extravagancies of 1828 and 1842. VICTORIA, ,1 EMPRESS OF INDIA." A paragraph in our foreign news, by the Europa, has nearly taken our breath away, for the nonce. We are told that, imitating FHB.- MOM and ISABELLA, whb first called them selves sovereigns of cc Spain and the Indies," - VICTORIA of England is about proclaiming her self Empress of India—which, were it, true, would mean that she 'thereby desired to ex tinguish, to the last snuff,'such once brilliant but now flickering and feeble lights as the Great Mogul, and his long-following line of nominally trihutary,,but actually independent Princes. We do not think that. Queen voari;partieularly at the moment when her sovereignty is 'so decidedly challenged in India, will assume the name of Empress. At vner:saner-tmie; -two Magi may be wor noting—first, the belief that, for some th e, Royal into an Imperial atattem, an Emperor ranking higher among the ruleis than a King does, and, next, that she tiro assume Imperial title and sovereignty in India, under the statute passed,in 1858, which regulated the power! of the East BidiaCompaily. ' As this may he not generally known,' and possesses much political Interest, we'sball briefly state the facts. In 1813;Bio charter. of the East India Coin pany, confirming it as a great money-making and patronage-dispensing monopoly, was re newed;by Parliament, for twenty years. 'ln 1838, the charter was not renewed, (as regards giving 'the Company, a monopoly as traders,) but a statute was passed by which all the terri tories, possessions,revenues, and merchandise of the COmpany, (except the island of St. Helena and the property therein, which was then vested in the' Crown,) were continued to the Company in trust for the Crown of Great Britain and Ireland until the year 1864. The territorial revenues were, charged with a pay ment of ten and a half per cent. per annum on the existing capital stock of the Company, and provision Was made for the future redemption of this stack by the Government. In 1868 Parliament again passed an Act, providing for the government of British India, and continuing the territories in the possesshm of the' Compaily under the Company's govetln ment,-in trust for the Crown, until Parlia ment shall otherwise provide. The actual bearing of this is—that, on pay ing £2OO (or double its nominal, and a third less than its actual value) for every £lOO 'of East India Company's capital stock, the British Parliament can dispossess the Com pany for over, and make British India an intle gral part of the British Empire. Nearly the whole peninsula of Ilindostin can thus be transferred from the Company to the Crown, and at a great gain to England, its each £lOO of stock Is certainly worth £BOO, and is to be redeemed at two-thirds of that amount, or £2OO. To this complexion must it come at last, and it matters little under what title, Royal or Imperial, the vast territory of British India is to be governed. The CoM- Pany are clearly Incompetent for the respoh aibility Imposed on them by law. They can be put aside by the same law which gave theni dominion. They will be put aside, we think . . At the same time, we shall pause ere we credit the report that Queen V/OTORIA is about de claring herself Empress of India. She cannot do it, were she so minded, with other than the most deliberate speed—for Parliament has to put the East India Company, out of the way, by legislation, before the territory which it now, holds "in trust"' for . the Crown, min come into the possession of the Crows. Were thelking to be done at all; provided Parlia ment does not meet until the ,usual time neat, year, the Company cannot be bought out earlier than May, and Queen VICTORIA could not assume the title of Empress.of India until India was'adually under her sway. Great ROI at the Opera To•utglat We have ,not yet called attention to the extraordinary reception of Signorina II AMOS in the roll of Lucia-Lextraordinary, consider ing the great pressure in money matters. The house was very well filled, and the satisfaction manifested was unbounded. The beautiful prima donna was warmly applauded, and was assisted with much success by AMODIO, Belo- MOLT ; and others. Tonight we are to have our favorite GAzzanmk in her great character in "La, Traviata," together with the second act of the "Daughter of the Regiment," with RAMO in the leading part. This rare bill should draw an immense house. Our excel lent friend, MARSHALL ; who seems to rise with the emergency of the times, has never exerted himself more energetically to please the public than at the present moment. He deserves to be encouraged by our people. 'ln consequence of a despatch received last night, Miss CUSHMAN will not appear on Mon day evening at Mr: BURTON'S National Theatni. Due notice will be given at' her first appear ance. The . criticiant On Mr, DAVENPORT'I3 Amid, by our theittrical correspondent, will appear to morrow.

ThO universal dependence of nations, each .upon the 'other, has seldom been so fully shown as by the effect Which the monetary crash in the United States" has produCed in Europe. .1401 ; cnly has- the:shock been felt in England, which ig in closest and most extensive buying And selling relations with us, but also in Pram",liarid, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, and such of the minor States as have any pretensions to trade and ,commerce. Every where, the money-markOt has suddenly be come tight," and the banks, public and private, have largely raised their rates of dis count, even for good paper. This state of affairs will lead, we suspect, to a general reduction of the military establish ments ' all over Continental' Europe—simply because the cost of keeping up such large masses is more than the finances of any Eu ropean nation can well sustain at present. Herein is one of the great advantages which this country possesses over every other. We have not to sustain a large standing army, be cause our policy is not aggressive, and, if we ever have to act upon the defensive, a million of trained and patriot men would spring to arms to repel the threatened danger. . While it thus is the °Vous Wrest of Eu rope toing its natiolVe4endrttre:liown to a minimum, (for in the present state of the tponey-market, the BARISina and tho norm lIILDS will not lend money, save at enormously high rates,) England alone must increase her military forces, and, indeed, has to do this literally in a manner regardless of expense. It is calculated that, by the end of November, an additional force of 50,000 British soldiers will have reached India. As many more will be necessary, in future, as the native troops are unquestionably not to be relied upon. With the present difficulty in recruiting for tho_pritish army, both bounty-money and pay In d& be largely augmented, to tempt men to become what Falstaff calls , g food' for pow der." The other European nations, happily at peace with all the world, can probably get on without now loans or increased taxation, if they materially ant down their heavy military expenses. What are England's prospects? what is her financial condition? The revenue return for the year, and the quarter ending September 80, shows a net de crease an the British revenue, for the year, of £109,400; and a still larger decrease of £889,160 on the quarter's revenue. That is, on the quarter's revenue there had been a net increase of. .2200,095 on the Post Office, general taxes, and miscellaneous, agaitist a net decrease of £10,895,255 on the other sources of income. It 1 , 1 worth notice, too, that the branches of , the revenue upon which the decrease is, are pre cisely those which, in their, largeness or dimi nution, indicate the commercial success or failure of England. Thus; the great falling off is in the receipts from Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Property-tax. For the information of our readers, we shall state (in our own currency, as more intelligi ble) the exact condition of this national balance sheet. That is called the net revenue of the year, ending September 30, 1857, is considera bly less than the actual amount paid. The English custom is to deduct the cost of collec tion, &c., and merely show the amount which is actually on hand for expenditure. This cost may average abodt $30,000,000 per annum, which, added to the year's net revenue, gives a total of £77,l7B,ool—about equal to $285,- 891,375—as one year of England's revenue. Rather more than a third of this is expended in paying the interest on the National Debt. Taking this annual revenue under its sepa rate heads, the not amount yielded is—by Customs, $116,632,545; by Excise, $87,595,- 000; by Stamps, $36,781,115; by Taxes, $15,495,100; by Property-Tax, $78,765,120; by Post Office, $14,650,000 ; by Crown Lands, $1,388,270 ;- and by Miscellaneous, $5,730,155. The decrease 'on the quarter just ended; is $2,497,295 on Customs ; $740,000 on Exch e, and $2,078,495 on Property-Tax. Here, evidently, is a Smiling revenue. The decline in Excise and Property-Tax shows the diminished means, of all classes in England, and the great falling off in Customs' dut'es shows much decreased imparts. Thp expr of manufactured goods from England, in he first eight months of 1857, are of nearly $50.- months of 1856—but what are they now likply to be, when the trade with Hindostan and the United States is so greatly abridged ? Truly, with the certainty of additional war-taxes, and a permanent augmentation of her standing army, England's prospects for 1858 are rather gloomy. The Memo Times and Kansas. IVe. copy the following from the Chici.go Times. The fact th 4 the Times is the hotne organ of Senator Dolmas gives great signifi cance to the views it expresses as to the proper course to be pursued by the Constitutional Convention of Kansas; and, we may add; it but expresses the unmistakable and decided convictions of ninety-nine out of every hun dred Democrats in the free States; and We have yet to see anything to convince us that the views enunciated by the Times aro not also those of the great majority of southern Demo crats: The Convention which was elected in Kansas to frame a State Constitution for that Territory will soon meet again. They cannot fail to liars observed, what all the rest of the world have ab solved, that the voice of the people of Kama is iii favor of a free State. We know not what may, bo the purpose or the feelings of the delegates upon the question of slavery ; but the recent elec tion has demonstrated that nothing also than a Constitution which shall exclude andprohibit slavery will be accepted by the people of the Ter ritory. That fact is so patent that no man earl shut his eyes ton. " It was said that the Convention when elected was unanimously pro-slavery. That we know to be untrue ; we know that there were many delegates who were in favor of obeying the wishes of the people; and a majority in favor of submitting their action, no matter what it was, to poptilor approval or rejection at the polls. What thitt Convention will do, or what it will not do, we have not the means of knowing. But we know that any attempt to force a pro-slavery constitu tion upon.tho people without the opportunity of voting it down at the polls, will be regarded, after the recent expression of sentiment, as so decidedly unjust, oppressive, and unworthy a free people, that the people of the United States will not sanc tion it. It would add thousands to the vete of the Republican party in every State of the Union, and give to that organization what it has never had yet—a show of justice and truth. To the De mocratio members of that Convention the course is plain. The pooplo have decided in favor of a free State. Though they have notlvoted on the naked issue of Free State' or 'Slava State,' they have voted practically in favor of a free State. Two-thirds of the Democratic party in Kansas have voted it ith the free-Stato party at the recent election, in order to make the popular dectiston more phatio. As Kansas must be a free State, even those persons in the Territory who are known as ' pro-slavery' men must recognize, in the late elec tion, a decision which must not be slighted nor put at defiance. To that expression of the popular will there should be a graceful, if not a cheerful, sub mission. Kansas is to he a free State! That foot being ascertained, lot the Convention frame a con stitution to suit her best interests upon all other questions, and lot the prohibition of slavery be put into it, clearly and without quibble, plainly with out disguise, explicitly, broadly and firmly. Let the Convention theit submit that constitution to' the people. Hit bo adopted, Kansas will come into the Union at the next cession, and the Repub lican party will expire for want of sustenance. If any members of the Convention desire to pro: long the controversy, or to have a regular, di rect vote upon slave State and free State, let. a free-State constitution—the Topeka Consti tution, divested of such of its provisions nations has shown to inri unsuitable—and a slave-State Consti tution be prepared. Lot them both be submitted ' to the people—the vote to be free-State Constitu f ion, yes, ' or 'frec-Stato Constitution, no ;" slave- Unto Constitution, yes," or slave-Slate Constitu tive, no.' Let them, if they desire to vote in favor of &elm State, have the opportunity, but let the' Constitution-be submitted to the popular vote, and at nn early day. " Let the present Convention submit this matter to the people without delay, and have the long 'controversy settled finally, and in the only effee teal manner that is possible. In six months after the admission of Kamm Republicanism will be no snore." Why Has the Specie Gone Abroad T Singe Juno, 1854, the export of Epoch) from the . United States hoe boon upwards of three hundred an d aiatrfive millions of dollars, ($365,373,180,) commit* in that fiscal year with eight minium), and ending*); the fiscal year 1856-7 with sixty-nine millions of do/kars. The hnportof specie into the country at different times, within the ;IMO period, was ninety-two minion; ($02.056,054,) so that our not export of specie ahem June, 1844, when our present crop of paper exvnixte bad just begun to grow, bag boon two hundreo 6114 fifty-three rail- Hensler dollars, ($253,317,016 ) Why bag this specie gone abroad? That is the great question for the present crisis—the v i ttlA4fi k m of questions.—Exchan gr. This specie has gone abroad, because, like all other articles, it goes where it is most wanted, and where people are willing to pay the highest price for it. Specie; in the com merce of the world, is like goods put up under the auctioneer's hammer—it goes to the high est' and best bidder. When any nation really wants it, and is able and willing to pay well for it, it is just as certain to get specie as It is to gat grain, or dry goods, or iron, or any manu factured article. Tariffs have a great deal less to do with its exportation from, or its importa tion into, a country, than many wiseacres would thave.the people believe. During the THE PRE S S.--PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 93 last year the brill' of 3812 was in operation, the export of specie from the United States was considerably greafer than the import of it. And the first year the tariff of 184(3 was in operation, the import of specie into the coun try was greater than it had over been before. The prolific production of gold in California rendered it plenty in this country, and led us to attach less . value to it than other nations did. It therefore went abroad. The late panic, however, created an active demand for it here; and, notwithstanding the present tariff is considerably lower than that of 1840, the export of specie immediately stopped, and every foreign steamer that arrives brings spe cie, into this country. The tide turned the moment the demand became greater hero than abroad. A MOVEMENT IN TILE RIGHT DIREC. TION-TIIE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. We learn from a reliable source that the di rectors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany have passed resolutions reducing (with their entire approval) the salaries of all their officers and employees to a considerable ex tent, and suspending all work not imperatively demanded by the interests of the company.. Thi) saving thus effected will amount to quite a large sum. In the midst of the financial re vulsion, which has created unprecedented em barrassment in all branches of business, and particularly in railroad enterprises, such a Movement, is well-timed and 'judicious, and calculated to strengthen and increase public confidence. Thousands of our citizens are personally, deeply intetested in the prosperity of this improvement, and the whole commit, nity has an important stake in its wallitre, and the intelligence that the managers have formed ri fixed determination to limit the expenditureS of the company to its net income, and taken efficient measures for doing so, is highly gratifying. We also understand that the float ing debt of the company has been greatly re duced, and a strict appropriation of the sur plus earnings of the road will soon entirely liquidate it. Meanwhile, the business of. the road steadily increases. While the receipts of other great lines have been greatly re duced, its revenues have increased nearly $200,000 during the last two months, over the corresponding period of last year, and only a small portion of this, probably not more than one-tenth, has been obtained from the Colum bia railroad. These facts will go far to inspire full confidence in the financial soundness and stability of fin; great railroad of our state. THE LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

BY, TILE BRITISH MAILS. Tho-thrlattemizlng of India—Day of National "• tiunkilltkilon. On Wedneaday, October the 7th, nye tbo Lon don Times, the whole country mot to deplore, in the preaenoe of Ood, the national visitation in volved in the Indian mutiny. As a day of na tional humiliation, and its suitable accompani ment, national self-examination, the editors remark : l can be no doubt that the object for which e ' Ott to consider ourselves to hold India is the future Christianity and civilization of the people. It will be said this is aiming high, and so it is, but until it is proved that this result is impossible we taunt ahn at it ; as a Christian nation we have no other alternative. Some say this is impossible. Then are no philosophical theories to this effect, 'theories about races and what they are susceptible of. Ana even before the theory about racer; sprang up, the institutions of Ilindostan were thought by leant c o oppose tin irresistible obstacle to Chris , tiou • Sidney Smith adopted this ground in an.essay fifty years ago. India has, iu fact, acted like a Diedusa's.head upon many persons, and seine of those the most intelligent thinkers. The sight of the Morn features of that rigid system, with the minds of the natives locked in its iron grasp, has chilled their life-blood and deadened hope. What can wo do against such institn- Genf, noting upon such a race ? The appeal to the imagination •is indeed fearfully strong. Still, oven apart from plain promises of revela tion, reason itself tells us that it is quite impos sible that we can pronounce against the capacity of the Ifindoos for civilization and Christianity. As minatter of fact individuals among them do become sincere Christians. And when wo talk about the capacity of a race as such wo talk of what we know nothing about. Who can polsibly toll what there is or is not in a race, and what may be made of it? It is a hidden vein which facts only can inti mately disclose. And in the meantime we are bound to act with a view to the very highest result wl ich may, for anything we know to the countrary, be attained. But how are we to aim at the conversion of the Ilindoos to Christianity here is a puzzle indeed. The Gospel, and the enlightened morality of mod ern limes alike forbid us to use force, and the sun , must roll back to the East again before we can notate life the old theory of persecution, which effected such wonders of conversion in the mid dle ages. Charlemagne and his Saxons are gone for ever. We are deprived of that mighty engine of conversion, and what have MI in its Mead? We have the appeal to the ordinary evidences of Christianity and to the great fact of modern Europe, which is a re. suit of Christianity, and which au intelligent fin. cloo must appreciate. Ito must see that Christiani ty is, as a matter of fact, the groat civilizing and renovating principle in the world, that all the greatness and power we see in the world are con nected with it, and that whatever that vigorous and strong element tuay be which makes great nations and successful ages, and which produces growth and progress among mankind, it is never found except in combination with Christianity.

Petitions were received from sundry citizens re !nave to the reception of city warrants inlnty meat of taxes. Referred to the Committee on Fi nonce. A communication was received from Peter Fritz, Man., inviting the Mayor and the Select and Common Councils of the city to review the parade of the United Order of American Mechanics, which is arranged to take place on Monday, November 2d, on the occasion of the dedication of their now Hall, at Fourth and George streets. The invita tion was accepted. A communication was received from the Chief Commissioner of Highways, giving a list of Super visors, for the different wards, with their sureties. Referred to the Committee on Finance. A message was received from the Mayor, calling the attention of Councils to a bequest of Mr. Elias Boudinot, of .1,300 acres of land on the Susque hanna river, to the city of Philadelphia. Referred to the Committee on Law, and the City Solicitor. Mr. Marselis, from the Committee on Girard Estates, reported that they had under considera tion the subject of the finances of the trust. and Informed Councils that there is now on deposit in the Bank of North America, to the credit of the fund for the improvement of the Delaware front, a large and unappropriated balance. The com mittee are of opinion that so large a sum should not be permitted to lie idle at this time. The committee recommend the passage of an ordinance to authorize an appropriation of forty thousand dollars out of the income of the fund appropriated by the will of Stephen Girard for the improvement of the eastern front of the city and Delaware avenue, to be invested temporarily in loans of the City of Philadelphia. The ordinance was then taken up for considera tion, and passed finally. Mr. Cornnian road in place an ordinance to make an appropriation to pay road damages caused by the opening of Chestnut street at low-water mark on the Schuylkill. After a brief discussion the ordinance was laid over for the present. Mr. Beidoman, from the Committee on Finance, presented an ordinance providing for the transfer of certain items of the appropriation to the clerks of Councils, which was passed. The ordinance from Common Council making an appropriation of $l,lOO, or so much of that sum as may be necessary to pay certain State taxes on city property, for the years 1855 and 1850. The ordi nance was agreed to. The resolutions from Common Council providing for a retrenchment of the expenses in the differ ent Departments, were next considered. Mr. Na ikons opposed the resolutions. Ile thought that the city should not discharge any of the men em ployed on the different streets. He had been in formed that about sixty men had been dischar,led from the Renting Park. The city should increase rather than diminish the number of men at work. Mr. Roberts favored the resolution in some forci ble remarks. Mr. Bradford opposed the resolution, as it was calculated to create a panic among the laboring mon. Mr. Common contended that the adoption of the resolution would oreato alarm. We havo had our banks and mills suspending, and mon thrown out of employment, and now we want to tell the peo ple that the Directors of the City Governmenthave iesolvod to suspend operations. The resolution will have a tendency to pauperize largo numbers of those thrown cut of omployment by its opera tion. Mr. C. thought that the city should issue two millions of paper money, of a denomination not less than ono dollar, and pay its employees inure per diem, than at the present time. Mr. Nathans moved that the resolution be re ferred back to the Committee on Finance, with in structions to report upon the best method of em ploying the laboring classes during the winter. Not agreed to. Mr. Gamble moved that the whole subject be in definitely postponed. Not agreed to. Mr. Nathana moved to strike out the last clause of the first resolution. Not agreed to. The reso lutions were then agreed to. The question being upon the preamble, Mr. Gam ble objected to the phraseology of the first clause, which declares the present time to be one of un precedented monetary difficulty. He did not con cur in this view, although much distress every where prevailed. The preambbi was agreed to. Thu resolution from Common Council authorizing a transfer of certain items in the annual appropria tion to the Board ofauardians of the Poor for 15,7, was concurred in. The resolution accepting the sureties of Mr. Lamb, Commissioner of Markets, was concurred in. The resolution discharging the Committee on Fi nance from the further consideration of the reso lution of the claim for spreading tan in the vicinity of the County Court House, was adopted. Mr. Iteideraan stated that the charge was exorbitant. Mr, Taylor sahl that the judges of the Court had no right to order any snob an expenditure 'of money. Mr. Common °noosed the resolution. I az— offered a rex:untie. seszreefri. s te Chief Commissioner of Highways I. inquire i o the expediency of employing additional men pn the public highways.

The bill affixes a pen alty of five dollars to over? 'violation of its provi sions. Referred to the Committee on Markets. Adjourned. COIIIION COUNCIL Mr. Burns, in place, submitted a bill authorising the Receiver of Taxes to accept the city warrants in payment for taxes until the let of February next, but that no interest be paid on such war rants. Mr. Miller moved to suspend the rule to con sider the ordinance, which was agreed to The bill was then read by the clerk. Mr. Drayton said the bill was a just ono, as the city should be willing to accept her promises to pay in payment of her claims. If this bill was passed, all the warrants afloat would be brought in the city treasury. They have demands upon them which can only be paid in money. Ito trust ed they would not pass the bill to-day, but refer it to some committee. He moved to refer the or dinance to a special committee. Mr. Miller said this was a matter of record for them who wore in their employ. There was no market for the city warrants—limy could not be sold even to the brokers. He know of no other way in which to relieve these people. The passage of the bill would at once create a market for these warrants. Mr. O'Neill did not intend to oppose this bill, but he could not see how it could relieve the work. inginon. Pass this bill and not a dollar will bo paid into the Treasury. It will only be the means of adopting measures to band over these warrants to the brokers—the most gracoless set of scamps on God's earth. Mr. 'Wilde) , thought the passage of this bill would do much , but should not be passed without much re eetion. Ile moved to amend to refer the subject to the Finance Committee. Mr. Miller opposed the reference of the bill to any committee. Ile thought it would relieve the humble class of the creditors of thecity. Ito dif. fered from Mr. O'Neill in his view of the question. Ile Crusted that unless there was some substantial argument for postponement, the bill would pass to day Mr. Burns urged the reference of his subject to a special committee. Mr. Marcher urged a reference to some corn mitten. If this ordinance passed no taxes would be paid until the tax-payers could purchase war rants, and no money would flow into the treasury. Mr. Parker trusted they would defeat the ordi. mince, as its passage would he an injustice to those who have already paid their taxes Ile pitched into Mr. Miller for his inconsistency. Mr. Moocher read the Act of Assembly, which forbids the corporation from dealing in or re issuing any certificate of debt. Mr. O'Neill said the bill was a "dodge," got up to advance the rates of scrip now in the hands of certain brokers. Mr. flollman hoped they would not ant hastily by passing this bill at once. In committee was the proper piano to discuss the subject. Ito thought that thero was danger that tho interest would nut be paid on the first of January. Tho motion to refer to the Finance Committee was not agreed to. Mr. Miller thought it better to give the work ingmen broad than to pay the interest on the first of January. Mr. Marcher thought they hail no right to pass such an ordinanoo. Mr. Div was of the opinion that the bill was of too much importance to be passed hastily. lie urged a referenee to a special committee. A motion was made to amend " to report at the next stated mooting," which was agreed to. The yeas and nays were demanded on the mo tion to refer to a special committee of five, by Messrs. Miller and Marcher, and resulted as fol lows: yeas 37, nays 23. Mr. Kneess moved to suspend the order of the day to consider the bill calling for plans and esti mates for a bridge over the Schuylkill at Chestnut street. Not agreed to. A communication was received from Major Fritz, inviting Council to review the American Mecha nics' procession on the 2d of November, on the occasion of the dedication of their now hall, at Fourth and Brown streets. Mr. Parker moved that the invitation be ac cepted, which was agreed to. A message was received from the Mayor, calling attention to the Boudinot bequest, and asking that some action be had to make them available for charitable purposes. Mr—Holman submitted a petition asking for the paving of gieher street, from the Reading rail road to Lehigh avenue Referred to the Commit tee on Highways. Mr. Drayton. of the Committee on Highways, submitted a resolution approving of William if. Reilly and Dr. Beckman as sureties of William tragrh, Commissioner of Markets. Agreed to. Also, a repOrt, stating that there were many er rors made In the assessment books, among them $50,000 in the Vint ware► alone, against the city, and an ordinance authorising an appropriation of $5OO to examine the tax duplicates. Mr. King desired to know where the fault was. The errors are made by the assessors, many of whom are incompetent, and the city is burdened with the expense of employing clerks to correct their errors. Last year the expense of this work was only $250. Mr. Member alluded to some [erasures made in the assessments In the office of the commissioners. Mr. King said that if this was the case, there must be something rotten there, and the books should be removed to a place of safety. Mr. O'Neill said there was ro department in which so many errors occurred as in the City Com missioners'. • In his connection with tho office, he ascertained that the assessments had been altered is that office. In one instance the amount of as sessment was reduced nine thousand dollars. Mr. Steel was in favor of having d permanent clerk, who shall have the entire charge of the books. He moved to postpone the subject for the pfosept,•eo that the Finance Committee can report an ordiniihav to that'effeet. After considerable debate, the report and ordi nance were adopted. • The ordinance, passed by Select Connell, aut,hor icing the investment of ;40,000 of the Girard Trust Fund in city bonds and for the improvement of. Delaware avenue, W,13 taken up. Mr. Wilmer thought the Lanka were very uncer tain instant-lons, and the funds of the it ir.t:d Es tate should he removed to a place of ~tfety - Mr. Hacker thought that the North America Bank, where the fund was tow deposited, was the safest place to put it. 11e4tles this, the North Ameries Bank was always ready to lend the city when she wanted it. 31r. Wilmer said the Bank of North Atocrici paid four per cent. for the use of obout $30.000 of this fund: and when the city desired to borrow she was compelled to pay six percent. There was cer tainly not nun it gallantry about This Mr. Brayton urged the referoneo of the EtiLje •t book to the other Chamber. The ordinance war postponed for the present and ordered to he printed for the OM roe , berg. Mr. Miller, from the Committee on Mg submitted a report and resolution, authorizing the paving of portions of Amber street, Ceinrobi avenue, Washington and Front streets. The ref.- lution was agreed to. A resolution authorizing the grading of Annet. Bolton, and a portion et Fourth street, was alf:o . debated at much length. This subject, unimpor , tent apparently, elicited much discussion. Pend- - ingthe debate, a motion- to adjourn was made' oust negatived. The resolution was agreed to, and the Chamber adjourned. "Dull Music."—The stagnation in business is now affecting all classes of people, even these whose avocations are not generally supposed, to be I dependant upon monetary prosperity. The most bitter complaints we have heard this season, were tittered by a sexton and undertaker, who corn plained that the dearth of business was bringing him to ruin The apothecaries also murmur—not at' the total decline of business, for people must have inediciner, but because the " Flummix Hair Tonic," the "Pimple Eradicator," and all other nostrum cosmetics aro dead stock upon their shelves, and cannot be sold. Even the retail shoe dealers swell the volume of complaint, and asse verate their belief that people are coming hack to the good old Arcadian days of stone hatchets, bare feet, and sheepskin breeches. The idea at first suggests itself that people must have Wide and shoes, even though they cut off their visits to the opera, and relinquished their indulgence in white kids and rosy-cheatedjaponicas. Yet it seems that the boot and shoe-dealers complain 119 loudly as the barbers and hair-dressers, whode elate that society is going to Tophet, because tong b e ards and growing locks are becoming a compel wiry matter of fashion. Thie is a queer state of things, and all brought about, not by a lack of funds, but by a lack of confidence. Instead of being in the midst of a panic, we should be knee deepin doubloons. Queer world this! Fatal Result.—Sarah McDermott died at the Pennsylvania Hospital, at three o'clock yes terday morning, from burns received at her home in Bedford street, on Monday night. The deceased, lit the time of the accident, was kindly provided fur by Alex. W. Blackburn, Fire Detective, and taken to the hospital under his direction. Corohcr 'Mayan held an inquest in the case yesterday, at that institution, and a verdict of death from burns accidentally received was rendered. Mrs. McDer mott lived in very humble circumstances, and she leaves an intelligent and very interesting little son in a destitute condition. This lad, while his mother was suffering from her burns, was conti nually at her bedside, exclaiming in the most affecting tones: "Mother, dear mother, do not ' die! do not die!" We hope that he may be pro party cared for. Police Item:.—Yesterday morning Special Officer Taggart arrested Maria Russell, alias "Irish Maria," on tho charge of robbing John Williams, alias "Baltimore Pat," of $l2O, in Shippen street, bolow Fourth. Maria was com mitted to answer. No money was recovered from her. William Keating, charged with robbing the house of Mrs. Byrnes, at Pine and Willow streets, had a hearing before Alderman &nen yesterday. The house was entered on Wednesday morning. about half-past three o'clock, by breakingopen the second-story window by three or four men.

A heavily loaded Colt's revolver was found upon the person of the prisoner. Alderman Enen committed the accused us a fugitive from Northampton county, and also to answer the charge of carrying concealed ilgadly weapons. There is scarcely any doubt that the pistol is stolen property. it is numbered 133,483, and may be seen at the Central Police Station to day, by thoee who have missed any such article, .dn Artist's Studio.—We made a brief visit yesterday to the studio of that celebrated and de serving Philadelphia artist, Charles Cohill, Esq., at the southeast corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets. Ills collection of photographs, painted in oil, and portraits painted from life or daguerreo. types, is certainly one of the most attractive and beautiful that we have ever seen. As the eye sur veys his gallery, familiar faces appear in form and feature true to life. Ills coloring is just and admi rable, and every detail of his delineations bespeaks the finished limner. It has been said of the cba rooters of a distinguished novelist that they almost moved on the page; but the faces about us in this gallery look with speaking lip and smiling eve, as If ready to enter into pleasant converse with every admiring beholder. Fire.—Yesterday morning, between nine end ten o'clock, the chimney attached to the French dyeing establishment of Mr. M. B. (Im peller, No. ILI aeuth Tenth street, below Chest nut, took Bre and burned with considerable rigor. The sparks communicated the flames to the roof, and the joists of the second-story floor also took fire near the flue. The fire was extinguished by the neighbors by means of a few buckets of water. A Vessel Picked up at Seg.-Probable Loss of all on Board-. Very Mysterious Ctreamstance•. [From the New York Herald of the ?AL] We have just learned the fact that the sloop Brandywine, of Wilmington, Delaware, wizli bushels of wheat on board, shipped at Coggins' Point landing, James riser. Virginia, by E. ltuffin, jr., for, as the gentleman who is ourinformant says, the firm of liern, Stuller,l. Co.. of 124 Pearl street, in this city, was picked up by Captain Charles tiormain, of the steaming Wave, about a mile east from the light-ship off Sandy Hook, on Tuesday morning last, and by him towed to Jersey city, w here she now lies. Captain ormain says that during the previous night it blew a perfect gale, and when the vessel wan discovered by him, at daylight in the morn ing, the sea was making a clean sweep over her, her sails tying lame in the water; who was heavily laden, and must have sunk in one hour Inter. No person was found on board, not even any trunks, clothing, books, or any evidence of ownership, except a copy of the bill of lading, which being shown to the consignees, proves to be correct, they having received duplicates of same by mail. The bill of lading states the vessel to h•tve been loaded with wheat, as above stated, at the place named, and is signed " Captain John 9 Corns, by Mary E Cures,' in whose handwriting the bill is. The compass was found on the cabin floor, yawl boat gone, one anchor gone, and another, properly weighed, at the bow. A largo size musket was on deck. The hatches were duly fastened and caulked. Since bringing the vessel in nothing has yet been heard of the crew or of whom it was composed, or of the presence of any person else on board. The cargo isinsured in the Orient Mutual Insurance Company, Wall street. Whether the vessel is insured or not is not known. Full particulars will be given, so far as is known, to the friends of the miming or those interested by calling on William Jolliffe, Esq , the counsel of Captain Germain, at Jersey City, by whom the vessel and cargo will be detained for salvage THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.

(p to dark I wt cvenin4 Moo Ipinlie3 had been re .orered, and six more were known to be in the ruins It is not to ho believed, we are sorry to I..ty, that these figurei account for the larger share of the victims to the calamity. It is not distinctly known how, nor is it defi nitely stated where the fire originated. The most •sreful inquiry. and a summing up of the best evi dence in possession up to the hour of going to press, tends to the conviction, that the fire lifts a veil which shrouds the' life of toe' many of our clerks and employees who find. theironly home and their only social life in bachelOr apartments in the upper stories of our business blocks.. ft is in sad, but too painfully strong evidence, that the fire, which originated in the five-story building, Nos. latt and 111 South Waterstreet, was ...tied by carelessneseaud drunken recklessness •,f tho participants in a drunken debauch of clerks and the abandoned females they bad made their eninpanim, and nßsociatee in a Sabbath night's revel Nos 109 and 11l South Water street were wen ded on the main floor by the extensive hardware .stablislnent of Messrs. Corrnick, Cross, Co., who had their double store filled with a large stock .1 general hardware. Messrs. A. I) 1 itsworth ,1 Co. had, the area of i.oth floors of the second story filled with ready trade clothing.. The huildtug was a total loss, annd little. if any thing, was saved from its contents. Messrs. Car wick, Cross, Co. value their stock at 542 000; in ,,ured for ff. 32,000 in MUM and offices as follows: llowaril, Now York, $10,000; Merchants, Phila. $5,000: $5,000 divided among other offices. Th. Messrs. Pith in .b Bro. had in the store $52,- 000 in cash, notes, and securities, all of which were destroyed. Itlessrs. Titsworth A. Co. lost. $lO,OOO in ready made clothing. Next west the flames attacked the store of Messrs Lewis k Page, dealers in paints, oils, Ac., which was swept through its fear stories with frightful rapidity, the inflammable nature of the •took adding tenfold to the heat of the flames, which now raged with appalling fierceness. Messrs. Lewis .t Page estimate the value of their stock :it 370.000 ; insured for $50.000 in offices not designated. The building was owned by Dr. D. S. Smith, formerly of this city, non of Waukegan It was built iu 1855, and valued at $l,OOO, and fully insured. No. 116, next west, was that of Edward Hemp stead, wholesale grocer. The building and the stock were very effectually destroyed. Mr. Hemp stead's loss is $50,009, one-half covered by in surance. About 83.000 worth of his stock was s iced in a damaged condition. The books and papers were got out in good order. The building was owned by Dr. Philip Maxwell, of this city, and was valued at $3.000, said to be well insured. Eastward from the origin of the fire, No. DT, omupied by Messrs. Clark ,t Dater, •wholesale Grocers. was destroyed with its contents. Their stock was valued at $45,000, and is insured in various offices for an aggregate of $30 : 000. No. 10i, next east, vacant, was pretty thoroughly gutted. Thu store was lately occupied by Messrs. Eggleston Rockwell, wholesale grocers. Messrs. Honore .t Co , at No. 103, wholesale druggists. Their stock was much injured by re moval and by water. Loss estimated at $2,000. The fire department and citizens on the ground - • .. ought strenuously against the progress of the dame., but they made their way through windows, whose iron shutters were inadvertently left open, to the splendid fve•story marble block of the Messrs. Edward and Walter Wright, through the premises of T. B. Shay, Nos. 114 and lld Lake street. Mr. Shay's magnificent establishments,. which contended for the palm of the Stewart's of the cap, was filled with his rich stock of dry-goods. through which tho flames made their way, as if revelling in carrying on the work of derogation. Mr. Shay estimates his stock at $125,040, which is less than half covered by insurance—te the amount of $45,000. The fire commenced in the fifth story from the roof, and gave warning sufficient for the remora! of a share of Mr. eLs,ke's valuable stock in his .alesnxln, and many nutty books and costly arti clew of stationery were removed. Our readers— the admirers of the exquisite painting', valued at exposed in one of the show-windows—will he glad to learn that " the Belie" war safely re moved to the Tremont Borne.

Suddenly a fearful crash announced a now phase of the calamity. The heavy and towering wart of the adjoining store had fallen outward upon the roof of Barnum's establishment. and had carried all before it to the haremenL Firemen and eiti rens, wall, roof, aa.l merchandise, with the tam ing ruins frum the sore adjoining, •• all mingling, fell." A fearful scene of terror and dismay ensued. Iheportion of the wall left standing had fortu nately preserved the front portion of the store which was densely thronged by a eonfused crowd. Many of them wereprostrated by the flying mis siles, many were trampled and bruised in the 'light of their cotupaziou.s, but eon all was clear for a spiels extending about thirty feet from the front. 1 he store was very deep, and for nearly two-thirds of its whole length the building was ama of ruins, now beginning to burn briakly. :lathe lames conveyed in the fall hastened to feed on the wood-work and the light and combustible portions of the wares. Tho loss of the Messrs. Barmen was total, amounting to $1.5,000. Geu. li. S. Bradley oc cupied a portion of their premises as a jobber of jewelry. Ilia lees we did not learn.
