Three days later, news from Europe, by the mail steamer Canada, Which left Liverpool on the 24th'October, reached gala: yesterday, and has brought 411,000,000 in specie. The intelligence Is rather satbditctory, as the condition', of monetarraffeire in England was getting better, and the pressure had consider ably abated. -The lateid American nein re ceived in England was by the steamer Sete. lope, from Portland. ..The Jfrabites news, of the suspension of the,New,Yerk bias, had not been received.• We do not anticipate that It could seriously affect the money Market in London: The continental isiniM•bad further, advanced their rates of discount, The prlcoaef Consolaln the London money market had eliglitljadvanced. ~The decrease of gold during the week In the Bank of rlg land was $2,925,000.: Breadstaffe and Cotton were dull, each with a declining tendeney."

The fact that overy'daily paper of yesterday ,endorsed the motives which induced the Board to take this step is not alone a tri• bute to the' good, seose of 'the Board, but a happy Indication of .the • certain restoration of confidence to business circles.- The old-fash ioned mode , of doingintslizeielvas4ay at you' go. The Pennsylvania, tailioad was constructed upon this idea. It stood out from all other improvements`, 'tithe fliet that the whole wink was paid for at the completion, and its ether obligations resulted , from its necessary'con nections with tboSe' lines without' which it could not hive einutuandedthat great Undo of the West, which, by etery natural cause, be longs to it, but which•wits sought after by the railroad thoroughfares 'of New :Soft and Maryland. The policy of poising the semi annual dlshiend, was,,:thottfore, not merely justified by the sound. and safe condition of the Pennsylvania road itself, but demanded by consistent adherinie to the puipose , upon which ` the whole., improvement was origi nated—namely, that of paying off all their debts 'before attempting to divide the pro fits of .the concern, In these; times, there is no railroad/ which, f necessity, can con trol so Inublic trade as 'the ' pen!,r4 road of our Slate.

In' our opinion they will not succeed in this liercUlean effort if we are "true .to, ourselves. We know that the im portant interests of many/ of our merchants, manufacturers, and business men demand of and are constantly appealing to the banks to expand, and the approach of winter Is used as another powerful Invocation. No one Is more anxious to relieve the dis. tresses of our people than. Tat Pxiss. No one boa more steadily 'Aired to this end, and if this relief can be effected, consistent with the safety of the good banks, and the ultimate safety of the community, we shall be heartily rejoiced. And. if we adhere to the principle which is attracting foreign specie into OUT country—lf the banks and the people continue the persoiering retrenchment which seems to be prevailing, the suffering of no part of the community can last long, and relief, when it comes; will be 'enduring. - It is possible that aid can be extended to our manufacturers and business men consistent with this funda mental policy of retrenchment, espedally by collecting from the speculators in sugars, cot. ton, &c., who are yet unbroirdn. The example of the three leading hanks of Now York, In preparing for resumption and in compelling their former heavy borrowers to pay up at all sacrifices, is one worthy of imitation. It is also doing a great deal to impel foreign specie to our shores. But the great advantage we have in this crisis is to be found in the fact that the English cannot do without our cotton. The article published in this journal from the London Times of the 12th of October, clearly and distinctly Bj:twitted this, and the intelli gence which we give this morning, see tains the Times. As was well said, cotton to the English masses it now only next to food, because it furnishes them the means of raiment, and the great Thtmderer might have added, it also furnishes them work. So, then, without the cheering intelli gende that California continues her unabated supplies of the precious metals, are we not right in bailing the indications from Europe as a return of solid, economical, and prosper ous, times—the establishment of business' on sure foundations, the gradual obliteration of our foreign debt, , and the certainty of enough specie to supply all the wants of com merce and business?, Only let Us set our faces against a redundant paper currency, and espe cially against bank notes of the .smaller denominations. A 'rigid adherence to the poliCy of the Federal Government, and to the principles of retrenchment now prevailing in, all classes, will enable us to say that we occupy the proudest and safest position of all the nations of the earth oust NEW STEA,hI PRESS.

No doubt this would be a moat exciting competition. But there it) one slight objection to it—it is impracticable. This objection is BO very fairly and very clearly stated in the London Racing Correspondence of Porter's Spirit of ,the Times, (the best sporting paper in the ,world, beyond all doubt,) that we shall copy it here, as follows ; , ' "Moir, any gentlemen, or band of gentlemen, on your side of the whalepond, is Inclined to have a trial of ? kill with ns in the noble art of horse manship, or in breeding and training the rare horse, let him at 011013 sand forth his name, 'or let him intrust 'it •to his eountry'e representative in turf business,now located hens.

Sportsmen must bear it in mind, that , we have a mach greater number to select from, whieh cannot fail to be an enormous advantage—that we- have many more training establishments than their fer tile land is it present possessed of—and that the talent of our jookies is so eonstintly displayed be-: fore. hundreds, who know how a horse should be handled, that the boat tan be easily Flaked out for a great occasion.: That: the 000asion of America and Ragland meeting on the Turf (would it not make a fine picture?) would boa greet ono ill be yond a shadow of a doubt ; but.

Anehirr to fall book upon, Butatruoe to punning; the English nags have clearly proved their Superiority on the Continent of Europo—Lbut I fanny it will be long ore they attempt such an enterprise in the Mester* Eendephere. No, sir; 'there are too many good things at home.'c • To ,go a little more into detail, let us add a fbw' particulirs s ' s First, as to time. s Now, it would take from rtri foeen to , eighteen days to convoy an Eng- Ugh ;horse from , London or Liverpool to Savannah. Next, it would require a month to get him up again' into it condition," after be had made the voyage, and t as it might take more', allowance should be made, and the time of Miming fixed at two months, or there abouts, from the time of the English horse's arriving in this country. The running made, thersi would be the gems thee occupied in re turning to - England, and again getting the horse into condition. From first to last, be tween five and six.months woUld thus be occu pied. Next, as to engagements. Find au English racer, of good blood, good speed, good training, and good character, and you will, see him engaged, in advance, for va rious races during the next two years. To abandon the chance of winning some of these, paying forfeit in almost every case'where he was entered and did not run, would • involve a very great risk and loss, be midst being positively unjust to parties who, also; far in advance, make bets on the future running. No !brat-class racer could bo spared, and It is only first-class racers that aro invited to run by' the Savannah' challengers—if, in deed, any such there be. Then, there arises the *Cation of risk—which we take to be what Mr. Richard Swiveller—not the hero of Harpei-'s Weekly, who so much dislikes the s meMory of Wnixts—would charaoteristically call !«a quencher." There is considerable peril in sending racers by sea. The mere eltigling and' mutinying of a spirited horse *very, risky.

This latter report, well authenticated, is the most surprising of any we have ever beard. The United States frigate Independence, Coin. Mervine, arrived at this port on Thursday last from Panama.

Mas. D. P. Bovines, who is such a favorite among our theatre-goers, is playing a star en gagement at the Norfolk, Va., Varieties. The Herald of that city, of Tuesday, thus speaks of her first appearance there Mrs. D. P. Bowers performed her great °ham 'ter of Juliet, last evening, and achieved a won derful triumph, a success which her great talent and private worth fully entitled her to. Her natural gifts are many; though " petite" she has a neat figure, a most interesting fuse, with a black and brilliant eye, capable of powerful expressions. With a voice powerful and clear, she gives her readings with distinct eleganco— even " in the very whirlwind of her passion," or the lowest of her under tone, every word she speaks can he heard by the remotest auditor. Her entire performance of Juliet was groat ; If we may mention ono scene as superior to another, It would bo that in which she takes the sleeping po tion. We will not attempt a description—our pow ers to do so justly are inemapetent-13ut will say we never were more spell-bound by an effort on the stage. The audience, too, awaited the climax with breathless anxiety, and at the falling of the curtain buret into the most wild and enthusiastic applause we have ever beard within the walls of theatre, Mrs. Bowers will appear to-night as Ilartheniq, in the " Barbarian.'

The Arego, from Southampton, has taken out £30,000 from France, and only £7,000 from England, while the total by the City of Baltimore is only £8,200. It was intended to ship £20,000 by the latter vessel, but the bank movement caused the principal portion to be countermanded. , The quantity of goods being forwarded is very small, and the fact wilf tend to improve the American exchanges. The India Com pany have given notice of a further rise of four per cent. on their rate for bills on India. On Thursday, the 22d ult., the funds exhibited great steadiness, (dosing at a slight advance. The Times says the money market Is exceed ingly quiet, owing to the absence of any im portant failures, and the signs of general stability among the loading manufacturers and shipping firms throughout tho country. Uncertainty still prevails us to the probability of any further upward movement on the part of the bank, but tile question will perhaps be solved be fore the lapse of another week. The demand for money is comparatively quiet, both at the bank and out of doors. Numerous suspensions continue to be, enflamed on the Continent, especially among the manufacturing firms of Germany.

AUSTRIA A Vienna correspondent of the London Times, writing on the 19th ult., says: "That during tho last two or throe days there had been a lull in the financial pressure, but that it was considered very probable that the crisis was very far from being attained, and that it was not improbablo that tho other Italian States would follow tho example of Parma in withdrawing from the Austrian Customs Union."

To this, stop they aro impelled in opneoquopoo of strong remonstrances from the agricultural dis tricts. One likely effect of the measure, according to the Daily News, will be to precipitate a'fall In the English corn markets, which aro already de pressed by the high rate of interest, coupled with the accounts from America. The Daily News has also another article of news whioh is interesting, to the effect that the East India Company aro about to make some largo remittances of silver to India ; that they have al. ready effected insurances to the amount of at least £200,000. Tho polioy now inaugurated by the East India Company will tend to aggravate, the drain of silver at a time when it hiss already ao. qnired very inconvenient proportiose. The Ddily News 'remarks, in conolusion, that the period is evidently drawing near when the expenditure en tailed by the India revolt will exercise a more di root influence upon the English market. The ap proaching despatch of two hundred thousand, or a half a million sterling, in silver, by the Indian House authorities to the relief of the boat govern. most, will probably be only the first of a series of calla upon this market. Tho telegram from At. Petersburg quotes the Exchange on London as low as 36d. At this rate of exchange gold ought to flow froely to this aide.

Conlin PLEAS—Judge Thompson.—lbis Court was occupied during the whole session by the will case which was reported in Tun Piton yesterday. The following is a synopsis of the facts : The will of George Campbell, late of the city of Philadel phia, attorney at law, Is dated June 7th, 1854. To the niece of the testator, Helen Freeman, is devised a brick messuage or tenement on Arch st., Philadelphia; also, a number of shares In the capital stocks of the different banks, and the household furniture of the deceased; to Mary 0. Todd, during her life, the will bequeaths the interests of certain loan certificates, also nor tail' mortgage debts duo the testator upon valua ble properties in the cities of Philadelphia and Wilmington, the total value of this bequest being about $lO,OOO. The eodioil to the will is dated Juno 6th, 1855. It entirely revokes the bequest to Mary 0. Todd, and bestows all of his property upon Helen Freeman. The action, therefore, takes the form, as we stated yesterday, of Todd vs Fronton. The allegation of the complainant is that at the time of the exe cution of the codicil the testator was mentally in competent, and that tho codicil is, therefore, in valid, and that the original will holds good. Tho complainant concluded this morning, and the case was opened for the defence. The defendant's ef forts were dirooted to prove the sanity and com p etence of the testator up to the time of his death QUARTER SESS lONs—J edge Conrad.—Osburn Conrad brought accusation against Adfor If. Low ell, charging him with the felonious appropriation of a promissory note for $l,OOO. The ease was commeneed 7ustorday afternoon, and oontinued up to this morning. It is one of rather a peculiar . cha racter. It appears, according to the testimony of the prosecutor, that prior to and during the year 1854 various business transactions had taken place between the firm of which Mr. Lowell was n partner and Mr. Conrad. This business con sisted chiefly in the exchange, Ac., of promissory notes for purposes of accommodation. The firm was that of Brown, Lon ell, ti Smith. Some time in the year named, Mr Lowell and Mr. Smith went to the house of Mr. Conrad, and told him, as it is alleged, that both ho and and the firm were in rather easy elroumstances and in good etedit, and that if he (Conrad) would like to have any nate discounted, he could get it done for him at the Manufacturers and Mecha nics' Bank; Conrad, on thin representation, gave Lowell a promissory note for 51,000, taking treat him in return a receipt which Lowell signed in the name of the firm. Instead, however, of getting it discounted at bank, it is alleged that Lowell passed it to a third party, and obtained money therefor. A few days after this, he was called upon by Conrad, who demanded tho pro ceeds of the note which he had given, mi nus, of course, the legitimate discount. Con rad was to call again in a few days. He did so, and found that Lowell had left the city. Shortly after, the firm of Brown, Lowell, A Smith went into liquidation. The proceeds of the note had been entered on the cash books of the firm. Conrad was unable to recover eithorhis note or his money. When the note became due Conrad was sued by the bolder of it. He made defence to the payment, and used Lowell as a. witness, and then appeared as complainant, charging Lowell with the larceny. Jury out. John Mcßride was convicted of an assault and battery. Sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar and costs of prosecution. Vincent Perry Forges Perry, and James Perry were charged with the commission of an assault and battery upon Martha Farnham. On trial. William hicks was charged with threatening a witness in the court house. 13oand over in the sum of $5OO to keep the peace for three months. Capt. McKibben, of Mobile, the oldest pilot on tbo upper bar at that place, met his death on board the steamboat Col. Clay, in a singular and fearful manner, ono day last week. The steamboat seas going down the bay with the pas sengers and mails for the Quaker City. Capt. Mc- Kibben was sleeping in a berth from which ho rose, and went on the upper dock, and by some ac cident fell over the spot where the crank was in full play. In a moment his head was savored from hisbody, and at the nest revolution of the shaft ono arm was out off, and the entire form ripped and emptied of all its parts. But life had provion.ly boon destroyed; it was the mutilation of an unconscious remnant of humanity. The machinery was stopped as soon as the accident was known. and the remains properly oollocted and taken back to the city.

Stil Concert!, Terrible Tragedy Murder of a Bank President at the St. Lawrence Ifotel—Arrest of the Murderer, 4-e., ere.—About half-past five o'olo4 yesterday afternoon, the MOSS shocking tragedy whieh it has ever been our lot to record was perpetrated at the St. Lawrence Hotel, on the south side of Chestnut street. As far as we can learn the facts, it appears that Mr. Richard Car ter, the president of the Anthracite Bank of To moque, Schuylkill county, arrived in the city, and took up his quarters at the above hotel, yesterday. A few days previous to this, a young man, who gave his name as Thomas Washington Smith, ar rived here from the South, and put up at the Madison House. At the above hour, yesterday afternoon, Carter and Smith were observed sitting upon a sofa, in the corner of the parlor fronting on Chestnut s treet. There was nothing exciting in their manner, and the casual observer would have supposed that they wore engaged in the most friendly conversation. They occupied their seats for a considerable length of time r when Smith drew from his pocket a Colt's revolver. Both parties arose from their seats, when Smith commenced firing upon Carter At the third fire Carter fell fatally wounded, and Smith fired two more leads into the body of the wounded man while lying prostrate upon the floor. The appear ance of the dying man upon the floor, in a pool of blood, and the coolness of the murderer,who quietly walked off, and the terror which was depleted on every countenanee in the room, woe a scene moat shocking. The wounded man died in a few moments, and was conveyed to his mom, in the upper part of the building. Officer Albright, of the Reserve Corps, who happened to be in the vicinity at the time, took Smith to the central police station, where he appeared perfectly cool and collected. The officer searched the prisoner, and found upon his person a six-barrelled revolver and a bowie knife. Four barrels of the revolver had been dis c barged, the others still heavily loaded with ball. REARM/ AT TIIE MAYOR'S OFFICE A hearing of the prisoner was had at the Mayor's officio, before Alderman }neu, at seven o'clock. The prisoner, who is rather a youn3-looking man, of medium height, and dark complexion, with dark hair and moustache, stated that his name was Thomas Washington Smith, and that be was thirty years of age. He claimed Philadel phia as his residence, but did not stop in the city permanently, travelling from place to place as an agent for some mercantile house or commercial agency. 11. S. Fleming, of Allegheny city, was sworn, and deposed that ho was a guest at the St. Lawrence, and was present at the shooting by the prisoner. He said " I was sitting in the front parlor of the hotel; I got up and walked out, and as I did so saw the prisoner and the man he shot sitting en the sofa in the back part of the front parlor, talk ing; I went out into the back parlor. and then turned into the front again, and as I did so, when within about ten feet of whore the two were sitting, they got up, and the prisoner pulled out his revolver and shot twice, the other then fell to the floor, and the prisoner shot him twice again, making four shots in all. The prisoner then pulled oat hls knife, and stated that he would submit himself to the offi cers of the law. but to no ono else, and walked out of the hotel. I walked after him a abort distance, but returned, and found a person trying to lift the wounded man up to afford him relief, but it was too late, he was dead; he did not speak; there has been no examination of the body further than opening the shirt in his breast, but I think he was shot in the back as well as the breast; I could not say how many of the shots took effect. Alderman .Enut to the Prisoner—Have you any questions to ask the witness? Prisoner. No, sir, Ido not desire it. James McCandless, of Allegheny city. was sworn, and deposed as follows: I saw the prisoner at the bar and the man who was killed sitting and conversing together in the parlor of the St. Law rence Hotel, and passed and repassed them once or twice. A short time after, whilst I was sitting at the table in the reading room, reading a paper, with my back to them, I beard a pistol shot, and turned my bead and saw the man who was killed in the act of falling upon his face, and the prisoner shoot him again. lie shot him afterwards in the back as be was lying on his face on the floor. The only exclamations made by the dying man were, Oh! Oh! The prisoner, after the shooting, said that all he asked was protection, and inquired for an officer, teat be might give himself up to the law; he then walked out of the hotel and down Chestnut street for a short distance, on the south aide, and then crossed to the other. I followed him, and was at his side at one time, when he re marked to me that I must not touch him; that he wanted protection, and that no man must touch him but an ofeeer. Q. How many shots took effect ? A. I only saw two shots fired, and only saw two wounds, whio'A were in the breast near each nipple. Q. Did you hear the conversation? A. I could hear them talking, but not what was said. It appeared to be an ordinary conversation and not in anger. The prisoner again declined to question the wit -13889. L. T. Campbell, sworn.—X am one of the pro prietors of the St. Lawrence Rotel, and was in my office when the firing commenced; the name of the deeeasod is Richard Carter; his residence is Tamaqua, and he is president of the Tamaqua bank ; he came to the hotel to-day. Q. Is the prisoner also stopping at your hotel? A No, sir. Q. Where did you first see him? A. I saw him as helves firing the third shot; I was in my office, which is at the end of the parlors, with large communicating doors between, and my attention was called by the repo:', of a pistol; I looked into the parlor, when I heard a second re port. and at that time the prisoner came out in front of the doorway, and Mr. Carter appeared to make a plunge at him to °atoll him, when ho fired the third shot, and Carter fell; he then shot him again; 1 did not see the two first shots. This gentleman (the prisoner) then went out of the hotel and proceeded down the street, and I fol lowed close until he came to the corner of Ninth street, where an officer arrested him; he delivered to the officer his pistol and bowie-knife, and asked protection. Q. Was there any loud conversation between the parties? A. No, sir. Two shots took effect in the breast, bat I could not tell whether the others took effect, as the de• ceased has not yet been stripped. James Albright, No. 21 of the Reserve Corps, sworn: I arrested the prisoner; I was going up Chestnut street on the lower side, having in charge a woman whom I had arrested for stealing. and whom I was taking book to the store when the prisoner was pointed out to me by a person who said that ho had shot a man in the St. Lawrence Hotel; I handed the woman over to another man and went up to the prisoner, tapped him on the shoulder, and told him I wanted him; betook out his bowie knife, and held it in his right hand, and handed it over to me when I asked him for it; he also handed me his pistol, and asked my protection, which I promised, and brought him down, and locked him up. The officer here identified the pistol, which is one of Colt's six-barrelled re volvers, and said that it was cocked when tho prisoner took it out of his pocket. lie also identi fied the bowie-knife, which is about twelve inohes long, and encased in a red morocco case, with a spnog. The ease bears the following inscription : "Tom. Wash. Smith, De Bow's Route, Wash in ton, I). 0." The knife bore evidence of having been whet by an excited hand; the edge was very sharp, and in 501L10 places had boon worn away by the friction. The knife must have been whet on a stone, as the sides wore much scratched. The examination hero closed, and the prisoner wns committed for trial. Before he was removed, the prisoner said— I acknowledge I killed the man. I do not wish Alderman Eneu.—l advise you not to say any thing that may convict you. The charge against you 19 a grave one, upon which you will be tried for your life. Prisoner.—l do not wish to deny it. Alderman Enen.—You had better keep quiet. Officer Albright, remove the prisoner. The prisoner, (very much excited, and stepping up into the witness-stand in front of the Mayor's desk,) Will you allow me to make a statement Alderman. You Lad better not nicks any state ment. Prisoner. I wish to make my statement. I stand hero as an honest man, and what the coun try claims of PlO I am ready to suffer. Alderman Ellett. Albright, you had better re move the man. Prisoner. Will you not listen to ma t Alderman. I prefor not. The prisoner was then taken below and locked up, and soon after removed to Moyamensing Prison in custody of Lieut. Dickhart and Officers Albright and Young, of the Reserve Corps. When the prisoner was brought out of the cell ho woo rather more excited than at the hearing. lie had a cigar In his mouth at which he puffed most vigorously, with an evident attempt to keep up his self-pos Makin He was placed in a private carriage. and while on the way to prison conversed quite freely with the officers. Ho said, in committing this' nut, he thought, under the circumstances, he hod dons his religious dut3—lone justice between God and wan and to himself Lieut. Dickbart told him it would be better for him to make no admission of the terrible crime of which ho was charged, but the prisoner paid no attention to the precaution of the officer, and said ho now desired but one thing—to have a 1 , 01111111 rent for. (ho did not say what woman, bat it IS inferred that it was his wife,) and then if they would gii e him a knife, he would give the world no more trouble about him. He arrived at the prison at eight o'clock, and after being searched, wits locked up. He informed the officers that he had been stop pine at the Madison House, in Second street, above Market, and had been there for several days. At first he refused to tell where ho stopped, but sub- ' sequently stated to Lieut. Dickhart where his bag gage could bo found. He alleges that he last came from Cecil county, /dd. CORONER'S INQUEST. At eight o'clock last evening Coroner Fenner proceeded to the St. Lawrence Hotel, and held an Inquest upon the body of the deceased, who was stretched upon a bed in room No. 6 on the second floor.

There was something private between them. At this point the inquest was adjourned, for the purpose of allowing a post-mortem examination to be made by the coroner's physician, Dr. S. P. Brown. . - • At ten o'clock last night Dr. Brown was sworn, and testified 89 follows : I made epee-modern examination upon the body of the deceased; I found one gun shot or pistol wound on the left side thorax, between the fourth and fifth ribs, about an inch from the sternum or breast-bone ; it passed through the right and left auricles of the heart; it also went through the descending aorta, and lodged in the dorsal verte brie, which I did. not get out ; there was a wound on the left side, on his back, about two inches from the spinal column, and one inch below the clavicle on the left aide; that ball remain, in him; there was a :hot en the right side. about s;.z inches from the spinal column, and one inch above the crest of the illium, that run about tho body six inches, and came out on his abdo ' men; there was another ball entered on his left side, in about the same position as the one on the right, and passed into the vertebras; upon lifting him up in the bed, a ball was found under him, which came out of his ab• domen ; I think this was the one that struck on the right tide ; four balls must have entered his body; the ball that want into the left side of the thorax, and passed through his heart, killed him. At this Taunt the inquest was concluded, and the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came t 4 his death from pistol-shot wounds, inffictad by Thomas Washington Smith. PROBIBLX CAUSE OP TOO MURDER There are a number of rumors afiost es to the cause which led to the tragedy, and from them we gather the following statement. which appears to be authentic. About six months ago Richard Carter brought his ward, a young lady, then at boarding-school, in oontaet with Smith, who admir ed her. and after a short courtship married her The pair lived happily together in this city in two or three months after the marriage, when Smith discovered, to his astonishment, that his wife, whom he looked upon as virtuous and pure, was about to become a mother. This discovery drove him almost to madness, and he at once set to work to discover the author of his shame and dishonor. He succeeded in intercepting letters Fusing between his wife and Carter, in which it was made too evident that Carter had been her se deter, and that he had been made an instru ment to bide her shame. The wife consenting, a separation took place, and shortly afterwards, in four months from the time of her marriage, she gave birth to a ehild. Smith consulted counsel, and took measures to secure • diverse, but, meeting Carter yesterday, wreaked his vengeance on the author of the trouble. Car ter, we learn, WAS a married man, and was tiring with his wife in Tamaqua. lie was at one time in partnership with the father of the woman that be is charged. to have seduced. anl we hear that her ruin caused her family the greatest distress, and that they had taken measures to avenge the alleged wrong. After the commission of the murder, the prisoner expressed a desire that H.C. Townsend,Esq.,ehonld belsent for. as he had consulted him upon the trab.. ject. Another legal gentleman, who was in the ofEoe during the investigation, ssid the prisoner had called upon him a Sew days ago, and consulted him in regard to a divorce. He did not think that, at their Interview, Smith had the remotest Idea of committing a murder. After lie was placed in a cell in IfoysmenieMg Prison, he thanked the officers for their kindness to him, and said to Officer Albright that be should accept the revolver from him as a present for his gentlemanly conduct, and for protecting him from the crowd. Me also told Lieut. Dialled to take the bowie•knife. Ile states that, in their conversation yesterday, he asked Mr. Carter to take some measures to blot out his (the prisoner's) disgrace: that the deceased told him it was no disgrace, and that be himself intended soon to stall the prisoner's sister. This Smith considered as unendurable, and shot him upon the spot. The Pennsylvania Horpital for the Insane.— iinally a small house in Market street was oc cupied for the purpose of this institution. In 1755 the corner atone of the building between Eighth and Ninth and Spruce end Pine streets was laid, and in 1756 the first patients were ad mitted. At that time Philadelphia contained only about thirty thousand inhabitants. Bat the in stinatien grew apace, and the building, large aa it is, was found inadequate to supply the demand' upon it. It was then determined that the depart ment devoted to the insane should be removed to a suitable locality. Thus in January, 1841, the house now occupied in West Philadelphia was opened, and Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride welcomed the first patients. One of the most important fea ture, of the institution is the lecture-room. In 1847-8 Dr. Cornett delivered forty-seven lectures, while several other accomplished gentlemen en deavored, in the same manner, to interest and in struct the inmates. A museum, a reading-room, and a piano have been added, and last year was the twelfth annual course. The thirteenth has just commenced.

Stabbing Case at L'amden.—The election in Camden on Tuesday was very quietly conducted. A difficulty occurred at the election poll in the North ward, during the evening, which re-wilted in a man named John McGowan being stabbed with a pocket-knife in the back.
