It is an editorial practice, w more honored
in the broach than the observance," to father
mistakes in newspapers upon the unfortunate

sets up tho type, while another actually prints
the paper. We made a Mistake, in an article
yesterday, but are sufficientlymazignanimous to
exonerate the compositor, and instead of seek

seem as i'reat a romance as the Hall of Jewels,

which read " The Arabian Nights" and, when
found, make a note of,)—some people, we say,
may desire to. know how the Marquis of Weer-
HINBTEA comets to possess this immense proper'
ty, equal to the' fabulous wealth'of the Courit DE
MONTE Ounisro. Moro than half of it has no.
trued within the last fifty years. The Mar
qulaate of Weerelltisten is a modern creation,
dating 1;10 further back than the time of the
Reform Bill, when Earl GREY rewarded many
of his political supporters with new peerages,
and with advancements in degree.
, Thus the Earl of Grosvenor was changed
Into "the most noble the Marquis or WEST
MINSTER," and originally inherited, with his
father'e Earldom; this estates—at that time
Chiefly consisting Of- land in Cheshire and
Bortietelaire. But he also was ovmer of a
hirgtitractef lanklitWeSteeinstery :stretching
from the' Eouseip of Rordionnititamedielsea--
land, which originally belonged id ititi'Crown,
and was, sold to the Groitionor family for a
trifle. By degrees, as London increased,
particularly spreading to the west, as most greht
cities do, this land, swampy and barren as
I it was, came into request for building purposes.
GEORGE the Fourth, ashamed, of such a resi
dence as St. James's Palace, (which originally
was an hospital, and looks like one to this day,)
and tired of Carlton House, obtained author'.
teflon, from Parliament, to build another
Palace on the site of Buckingham House, in
Pimlico, formerly the property of his mother,
Queen CIIARLOTTE. In the centre of a swamp,
and only a few feet above the level of the
Thames, from which it is not a far distant, this
was, perhaps, the very worst situ in London
for a dwelling.
But upon it arose the present Buckingham
Palace, the town residence of Queen VICTO.
RIA, around which, with duo rapidity, soon ac
cumulated new squares and streets, the habi
tations of the rich and fashionable people of
the 'West End. Many of these squares and
streets; consisting of palatial houses, were
built on the Grosvenor ground, but not with
the Grosvenor money. The London practice
is to lease out the building lots, at so much
annual ground NIX; for the tenant to build
the houses' according to certain architectural
plates supplied by the ground landlord, so as
to secure uniformity of lippearance and con
struction. The ground. is generally leased : for
ninety-nine years, at the expiration of which
period it reverts to the landlord, together with
whatever edifice has been constructed upon it. •
Of course, as each of these houses comes
hack to the landlord, the grandson of the
present Marquis of. WESTHINSTES, who may be
living when these reversions come into opera
tion, will. find hie London income marvel
lously 'augmented—for if the rent for the
mere ground of a fashionable dwelling in
" Belgravia" (so called, because the Marquis
is also Baron BELGRAYE,) be Otte - Mod at
£3OO a year, the dwelling itself, when it
falls back, literally for nothing, as part
of the • Grosvenor estate, 'will bo worth
ten times as much. Whoever shall be Mar
quis of WESTMINSTER in the year 1900, may
estimate his London property at not less than
£1,000,000 to £1,500,000 per annum. A
comfortable income for one man—unless, in
deed, by tkat time the artificial distinctions
of rank shall have become things of the past—
to be philosophically contemplated by Mr.
MACAULAY'S Australian citizen, as ho sits on
tho ruins of St. Paul's, calmly smoking
his pipe,audumalug on the decay of groat
eLnpires.
With all his wealth, the present Marquis o
WEti:TMINSTSR was not above accepting service
in Ow limisehold of Queen VICTORIA, and
;wearing ber livery, as Lord High Steward,
a sort of upper flunkey, whose duty it is to
play the, part of first-class footman to his
Mistress, carry a white wand in his hand be.
fore her, and invariably walk backward out of
her presence, at the risk of sometimes fall-
ing—which has happeded more than once. A
Marquis with £700,000 per annum,' who would
thus act as upper lackey, for £2,000 a year, is
precisely the man to give no more than £lOO
to a national charitable purpose, while Mr.
TII/OKKUAY (whom, no doubt, ho looks down
upon) gave ten times as much.
Convention of the Methodist Protestant Chure
North and West
[From the Cincinnati Commercial oi,Thersday
A called Convention composed of representa
tives of Methodist Protestant Conferences of the
North and West, met yesterday morning in tho
George Street Methodist Protestant Church. The
object of the Convention is to consider the rota
tions of the Church in the free States with their
slaveholding brethren, and to decide whether the
North and West shall bo represented in the Gene
ral Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church,
appointed to convene at Lynotiburg, Va., next May.
Tho Aurae, hitherto, has remained a unit, not
having suffered the slavery agitation to disturb
ita harmony, but a large and Influential portion of
the Western and Northern churches are 'ctn.
soientiously opposed to further fraternization with
the advocates, vindicators, and apologists of
slavery, and, therefore, question the propriety of
further connection with the Southern wing of the
church.
The convention was organized by calling 'Nov.
Wm, Collier, of Pittsburgh, to the chair, and the
election of Rev. T. White, of this city, secretary.
Committees to draft business for consideration were
then appointed, when a moss was had until after
noon. Tho remainder of the day was occupied in
hearing miscellaneous addresses, and in devotional
&aerobes. The committee met during the eve
ning, and will bo ready to report at nine o'clock
this morning, when the convention. will re.agzni
bin. Eleven conferences, North and West, were
represented, and four more, which agitated the
question in issue, aro expeeted to be represented
by delegates to-day.

Plain. Hero I see nothing human. you
speak of Caesar, of Alexander; of their

can you conceive of a dead man making con

gotten me, oven while living ; as the Carthage.
nian army forgot Hannibal. Such is our
power! A single battle lost crushes us, and
adversity scatters our friends.
cc Can you conceive of Caesar, as the eternal,
emperor of the Roman Senate, and from thO
depths of his mausoleum governing the etn.
Wu? Such is the history of the invasion and
conquest of the world by Christianity. Nat ions
pass away, thrones crumble, but the church
remains. What is, then, the power which has
protected this church thus assailed by the
furious billows of rage and, the hostility of
ages? Whose is the arm which, for eighteen
hundred years, has protected the church 'from
so' many storms which have threatened to
engulf it? Alexander, Cesar, Charlemagne,
and myself, founded empires. But upon what
did we rest the creations of our genius,/ Upon
forte. Jesus Christ alone founded hili em
pire upon lose, and at this hour millions of
men would die for him."
May we not exclaim, in view of the above,
how trifling and unworthy of consideration
are the blasphemous emanations of testier
minds against the truth of religion, when it
requires but an honest examination of the sub-
joct to wrest such confessions from a mind as
great as Napo loon's! ()HAITI/AIM
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE
From the Episcopal Recorder of this week
we learn that tho second meeting for prayer and
humiliation, which was held on last Tuesday
at St. Paul's church, was crowded, and that
there was a deep interest manifested. The
meeting was presided over by Rev. Dr. New
ton, pastor of the church, and was assisted by
Reverends C. D. Cooper, Dr. Vaughan, Dr.
Spear, Mr. J. Armstrong, of Now Brunswick,

was specially devoted to the life and labors of
Christ, and the other to the life and move
ments of the Apostle Paul. It was announced
from his pulpit on last Sabbath, that be now
proposed preaching a series of sermons on the
Old Testament, beginning at the creation—the
first of which might be expected on next Sab
bath (to-morrow) evening. Should this course
prove to be as popular as tho two preceding
ones, they cannot fail to attract a very large
attendance.
NOTONTED MEETING—A protracted meet

THE LOST ARTS
iqrlito Prop.]
'tli:EDlron: My attention has been espe.
,aally directed to your paper of this day, con
,:talOTtg a report of the lecture delivered by
Vanden Phillips, at Concert Hall, on the
"Lost Arts." I agree with his opinion, that
the ancients wore our masters in many arts,
and that oven some of those which wo regard
fia exclusively modern wore also known to
3llsni. I would call the attention of the lecturer
tolt fact of which he is riot perhaps aware, as
*mum to which I refer may not bo within
the sphere of his investigations.
Mr ? Phillips spoke of the balloon, and said
that, for his part, ho had long flutter:a, himself
that this was at least ono achievement that the
modohns might claim a title to; but even this
had been wrested from us by a recent disco
very of Layard among the ruins of Nineveh,
viz t a slab upon which was sculptured a gar
den filled with spectators,looking up into the air
at a fleet of balloons," Now, henturies be
fore Layard thought of emiloring the ruins
bf Nineveh, the Talmud, a Jewish work,
speaks of a balloon in which "Doeg and AM
opbel ascended." There can be no mistake
about this, for the Talmud uses precisely
those words which express the character of
a balloon. It says that they west up in a
tower whir& flew in the air—thus describing
.the very shape and form of a balloon of
; modern times. This is to be found in Treatise
gatittethim, sec. Iteleek, page IN.
lt commentator, who lived before the modern
era of Balloons, remarks “that they went up to
perform witchcraft." Lando, in his Encyclo
pedia of Rabbinical terms, observes—"that no
dpubt the ascending in a balloon in the days of
„Ws commentator would bare been regarded
as, Witchcraft, and •that our commentator
merely satirizes that superstitious spirit which
aseribos every scientific discovery to a know
-ledge of the "Black art."
This is not the only scientific fact which tra
argon and history record, but which, from not
, being generally known, the present age takes
to Ruff all the credit as being the solo inven
tors of. The Itiblo Itself shows us that many
things wore known which wo pretend the
ancients were ignorant of. Do we not fro
rMently boast that the ancients did not know
that the world was round 1 and yet, King Solo
mon distinctly saith . lle bath sot a compass
round the earth." Al similar phrase, almost, is
used by Job.
'ln the,setenoo of anatomy, also, we shall find
many propositions and theories laid down in
the Talmud which prove 'to the scientific and
learned practitioner how far advanced wore
the Robbing in the knowledge of the healing
art. The Tory theory of Inhalation and respi
ration, the action of the gases on the lungs,
the production of internal heat in the system—
these and other phenomena, as also the circu
lation of the blood, the discovery of which
last Is attributed to the immortal Harvey, may
be found in theological works written in the
Hebrew language, long before the ago in
which that great man lived.

THE CAPTURE OP DEM!
Prom the London Times' Corrempoudence.]
1303/BAY, October 3
At length I am tibia to announce to you the fall
of the revolted capital of Northwestern India, or,
if that appellation be not strictly correct, of the
ancient chief city of the Mogul =pin), in which a
faithless soldiery had sought to re-erect tho inde
pendent throne of the descendant of Daher. Delhi
is once more in possession of the Dritish. Our in
formation at present Is more scanty than could be
desired, owing partly to the dawk communication
being unluckily intercepted between Labor° and
Mooltan. But the main facts have reached us
from so many quarters na to leave no doubt what
ever that the place woe assaulted with F11V.30” on
the 14th of September, when a permanent lodg
ment was °fretted, that during the four or five fol
lowing days further advances and acquisitions on
the city were made, and that finally on the 20th
the whole of the apace enclosed within the walls
was in our possession. I should observe, however,
that we have not connived as yet such mltain evi
dence of the truth of the latter part of this story
as of that of the former.
The proceedings of the 14th, 15th, and 111th aro
known to ae. however, compendiously from the
official bulletins issued by the chief commissioner
at Lahore, and founded, as you know, on telogra•
phio messages from Deihl. But of the final occu
pation on the 20th, we have only heard by an ex
press from the residency at Joypore in Itajpootana,
which reached Lord Blphinstono by way of Ahme
dabad yesterday. It la dated at devrioro on the
evening of the 23d, and is to tho etfont that the
news hadjust boon received at the residency, both
from the Rajah and also from the Yoked or Minis
ter of the Nawab of Jhuljur, to whom it may be
presumed to have been forwarded by his master,
a chief resident In the immediate neighborhood of
Delhi. Thus the tidings of our ultimate and coin
pleto success rest at present on native authority
only, but as the natural sequel and compliment of
our undoubted triumph of the 14th they are uni
versally oredited.
Rat to complete, so far as my present materials
will allow, the story of the avenging army. When
I closed my last fetter we bed heard that the
heavy siege train woe expected to roach the camp
in a very few days, and that works wore being
erected wherein to mount the guns on their arrival.
While the troops were thus busy the enemy was
inactive. There were none of those desperate
sallioe from the city that eharaoterized the early
days of the siege, when day by day successive
waves of mutiny were shattered against the
heightg of the British position ; anti though their
artillery was not silent, the only seeeess attained
was on the night of tho let of September, when a
shell from the battery on the further side of the
river (of which I wrote in my last) burst among a
ploket of the 01st, in front of the Metcalf house,
killing two men and wounding swell.
On tho morning of the 4th arrived in camp the
long-looked-for aelge train of between thirty anti
forty heavy guns, howitzers, and mortars, with large
quantities of ammunition. escorted by the remain
ing wing of the Bth foot, two more etimpanies of
the 61st, and a wing of the let Belooch battalion
of the Bombay army. On the 6th came in, front
Meerut, a most valuable reinforcement in two
hundred of the oat rifles, and ono hundred :trai
ling recruits. To the latter were added forty.

tachment was supplied, at Meerut, by the 7th
Punjaub Infantry. On the following day the army
was further strongthoned by the 4th Puujoub
rifles, under Caßtaid Wilde, and by some troops
of the Thoond Rajah.
On the night of the 7th, the advanced batteries
intended for the destruction of the Moue bastion
' and the adjacent curtain were tinned with ten
heavy guns, at about six hundred nod fifty yards
' from the bastion, and an enclosure within half
that distance of the walls, called the Koodsea
Bub, was occupied by a deteahment of infantry
and artillery. In these operations we titstalped
to loss of something under fifty killed and wounded,
two officers being among the former, Lieutenants
Hildebrand, of the Bengal Artillery, and Banner
man, of -the Bombay Tucillers,. attached to the
Beelooohes, the latter a promising young Mama,
well known to myself and to many people here,
and by all regretted.
The next day was marked by the opening of the
advanced batteries on the Moron bastion and by
the arrival in °amp of the Juirmieo or Cashmere
contingent. Meanwhile use onglnoine wore hard
at work in the erection of other batteries. tin the
11th a mortar battery opened on the More,' from
the Koodsea Thigh at little mote than three hun
dred yards, and upon the Cashmere' and Water
bastions a fire was commenced from sixteen heavy
guile and howitzers and ton largo mortars, planted
at, two points in front. of the onolosuro known as
Ludlow castle, and so noticed. in Wyld's map. On
the 12th the attack on the Water bastion was
st ren gthened by four eighteen-pounders awl two
light (tive-and-adialf inch) mortars (increased af
terwards apparently to eight of the former and
twelve of the latter), planted et two hundred mid
two hundred and fifty yards from the wall and
the custom-house compound near the river.
The fire of the enemy was most severe upon
the luet.named batteries, which were exposed
not only to the guns of the Water bastion, but
to those in the old inner fort of Selitegliur, and
also to those on the other side of the river. Mere

Point of assault was the breach at the Cashmere
bastion. One column, however, consisting of
Ghoprkas and the newly arrived Jununoo con

tacking the liisliengunge suburb, which lies out
side the Lahore gate, on the western side of the
city, and, if it succeeded in carrying' tho suburb,
to assault the gate itself. Mut the suburb was
occupied by the enemy In throe, with a.battery
of heavy guns. The Cashmerian troops behaved
indifferently, and In spite 9f the efforts of the
brave Oboorkas, the column was repulsed. Its
commanding officer, Major 'Reid, of the Sirmoor
battalion, is among the wounded of the day; but

THE 010 DELHI
prom Um London Timm]
Although the oyes of all the world havo boon
fixed upon Delhi, and it has been naturally con
cluded the turning point of the etntggle, yet we
are not to suppose the difficulties of the war over;
nor is this event altogether without is drawbacks.
The osptgrp pfclhip must have the etfect of libe
rating ninny of the mutineers, who will present
themsellics olsowhere, swelling prob Ably other bo
dies of insurgents. It bad boon debated among
them whether to retreat to sown strong place lower
down the Jumna, so ns to gain at least a few dap'
breathing time, or to join Nona Sahib and the in
surgents of Dude.
The probability is that the greater part will wan
der over the country in sutlicient bodies, and at
such o tlistonce from our troops, as to live by the
indiscriminate plunder of the peaceable inhabi
tants. Such a modoof life is familiar to the mili
tary tribesof India. They hold that it is more
honorable to live by the sword than by the
plough; that it is a safe profession, and ono
that will Mold out when drought or the col
lector starves out the husbandman,• and that it
does not matter very much under what gag the
trade is carried on, or whether under any flag.
Till the great wars in which wo finally broke up
the predatory tribes, and established our strong
rule over regions hitherto the nurseries of brigand
age on the most gigantic scale, there were millions
of then who lived by sheer pillage, robbery, nod
murder.
Arranging themselves into bodies of ftve hun
dred or live thousand, ns the case might require.
they sallied forth, looking for the richest and
easiest booty, whether a town or a province They
took what they stunted and slow all that resisted,
burning the cities by way of example. It eats
scarcely be considered right that the afoot of this
war should be to, throw things back into their old
state—a gate which ninny elder natives, whether
Musspitutips or Ilia ova fondly look back to as the
gulden ago of their country. No doubt, many
driven out of Ilelhi will return to the euatombf
their ancestors, which, it is stated, • thoy care
fully keep In mind by traditional stories and
poems.
It still be a task of no little difficulty to dig
possess the soil of marauders who may Other
seine coat age from despair, and who will certainly
multiply their atrocities in proportion to the short
ness of their time. Nor can WO regard without
apprehension their desultory attempts to Inter
rept our eounuunications between the Loser and
the tipper Provinces, and their possible leleee+.l
over small detachments on the marsh. But this is
all that we fear. By this arrival wo learn the
good nous that General havelock, having been
joined by General Outram, lust crossed the (lunges,
and that the relief of Imeknow may he confi
dently expected.
We minclutio, therefore, that the neck of 1110
mutiny is now broken, its head crushed, and that
nothing remains but feeble, dislocated, writhing
fragments. In the end. what escapee our arms
still be absorbed inty the mass of the people, and,
befriended lay thus and returning prosperity, may
so escape the nett ihution due to Its crimes.

This was a ease in which Monypcnny, the owner
of a canal boat, laden, with exit, brought suit
against the defendants, who were captains of the
steamers Richard Stockton and Thomas A. Morgan,
in 1854. The specific charge was, that the prose
cutor had, through the acts of the defendants, bait
hie boat and cargo in the river Delaware. The
prosecution brought forward as a witness Mr. Moore,
who testified, that in July of the year already
named he commenced to raise from the bottom of the
Delaware a cortaincanal boat, laden with upwards
of two hundred tons of coal. The boat had been
accidentally sunk at one of tho Port Richmond
coal wharves. The witness, to pursuance ot his
plau of operations, had towed the boat about two
and A half miles above this point, intending to
bring bar on shore. Having succeeded in this, he
made preparations to raise her above the surface,
but as the swells which were caused by the
steamers Stockton and Morgan, materially in.
jured the operations of the witness, he waited
upon the captains of the steamers, and requested
them, upon reaching tho point iu the river where
the sunken bout was being raised, to slacken their
speed, and thereby cause less commotion in the
water. The captains bud consented to do EO, and
bad fulfilled their promise for four or five days.
At the expiration of that time the witness had sec.
needed in raising the boat three foot above tho
surface of the river, with a fair prospect of ul
timately placing her in a position of safety.
The two steamers, however. just at that juncture,
it Is alleged, eamo down the river at great speed,
causing such n swell as to endanger the lives of
witness and his gang of laborers, and to knock out
the bottom of the half-raised canal-boat, and there

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PHILADEL.
PULL MARIGETS.
PHILADELPHIA, November 13, 1657
The apathy prevailing in the market for some
Limo put still continues, and the transactions of
the week have been quite limited in all depart
ments of business.
Bark is wanted at quotations ; Breadstuffs are
in steady demand, and bringing rather better
prices. Coal is more active and prices are firmer.
Cotton moves off slowly, without change in rates,
but the stock is nearly exhausted. Iron is dull and
lower, with little or no inquiry for any kind.
Groceries are also dull and neglected. Fish re
main vary inactive. In Provisions there is nothing
doing. Bides are riot wanted. In Naval Stores
there is rather more activity, and in Spirits 'Tur
pentine prices are better. Oils are unsettled and
lower. Seeds remain quiet, but Cloverseed is
scarce and wanted at higher fivres. Whiskey is
better, but Wool, although in little better request,
is without movement, owing to the difference exist
ing in the views of buyers and sellers. There is lit
he or nothing doing in Dry floods. The fall trade
is over ; 1101118 of the jobbers are selling a few goods,
chiefly to the city dealers and clothiers, but at
low prices; all staple goods, however, are well
bald, with light stocks for the season, the falling
off, both in the imports and the home production,
haring a tendency to strengthen the views of
holders. The payments of the early part of the
month bare been well met, notwithstanding the
great difficulty in collecting and remitting money
from the West at the present time, owing to the
deranged state of the exchanges, and the inability
of a large proportion of the western dealers to
meet their engagements at maturity.
Bansnsrurva.—The market, If anything, is ra
ther firmer, with fair receipts for the season, the
sales of Flour for the week reaching some 515,000
bbls, in lots for shipment, including standard su
perfine, at $5.25a85.37i for mixed and good straight
brands, the latter being now the general asking
rate; $5.621a56 for common and choice extra. and
s7as3 for fancy family Flour, as to brand, the
market closing steady, but rather quiet, at these
rates. The home trade are buying moderately
within the above range of quotations, according to
brand and quality. Bye Flour comes in slowly,
and Cells in a small way, at $0.50 per bbl. Corn
Meal is unsettled and dull, with sales of 1.000 . bbla
Pe. Meal to note in lots a t 53.12153.25 per bbl, most
