AND THE MAJORITY PRINCIPLE. When we denounced the Oxford and M'Ghee frauds, and the Calhoun Minority Constitution, we thought only of our duty to the people and the pledges upon the Kansas and Nebraska bill of the political party of which we are amenibor. Our position was a natural and an irresisti ble one, we believed; from these notorious pre mises. We should as soon have thought of dishonestly escaping the payment of a debt, or of deierting a friend, as of hesitating on such a question. , If we had not been sustained in this course by it 'single journal in the Union, or if every subscriber to TIM False had stricken his name from our list, we should have borne the issue, however painful. to our feelings, because, while we might have been: mistaken, we had acted upon the sincerest and most conscientious motives. But - the same sentiments that inspired us 'have, it will - be 'Been, inspired very many others. , We now realize that we - neither mistook onr duty, nor misunderstood the people. The extra* front different Democratic papers, whichwe repeat in our columns to-day,'speak for themselves. At this Writing our table Is - covered with the warm and enthusiastic letters of - our political friends. in all quarters, applauding the- stand we have, taken. On Saturday we paid a Inv- - rind . to the county of Barks; and during our stay we - met with - many of, the prominent Democrats of that populous empire region. Without an exception, and in the moat volun tary spirit, they endorsed our entire *ion on this subject. We say all this, not by way of justifying THE PRESS. The right and the integrity of the question do that abundantly. Nor 'yet do we say it to protect us from the imputation of not being a Democrat or a friend to the South.. On that point we have nothing to explain. Our political reputation needs no airing. It has not been laid by in damp corners or hidden away in dusty pigeon -holes. Such as it is, it has been as open, as the day. Let those who wish• for occupation impugn it if they can. Their labor of love will amuse themselves, and edify others; and no one will be a kinder natured or more impartial spectator than THE PRESS. If they succeed no better, however; than in their argument against the course of Governor Werima,,and (as we are now proud to state) STEPHEN A. Donnas,' the author. of the Nebraska bill—both being in public pro= test against this Calhoun Convention—they will not be as well rewarded for their pains as their industry, if not their fah:l:M . Bs, may en.' title them to. It does strike us thatwhen THE PRESS is on the side of such statesmen as ROBERT J. WALSER and - STEPHEN A. Dona- LAS, there is no very imminent danger of its hoisting Republican colors. The Democratic party never can be sus tained in palliating a wrong—it has never done so, as n party—its fame is too illuStrious' to lead to the supposition that it ever can do so; and in exposing- to execration and con tempt such men as those who constituted the . Calhoun Convention, and who would'sanctify that stupendous wrong by , claiming to be Democrats, we feel that we aro not 'help ing the Republicans, but protecting the Dane crack from the certain triumph of the Republi cans, if we - failed in our fealty to justice at a time like the present: -- In regard to the general Adininistration we have no professions to make. We repeat, that, in our course on this,whole question, we solemnly believed we were following after the example of Mr. BUCHANAN. There has, as yet, been no formal indication of his purpose to force this Kansas-Calhoun Constitution through Congress. There aro many reasons for believing that this is not his purpose, at least not now, since Governor WALKER and Judge Dolmas have taken position, and the old and young heroes of the Northern Democracy stand firmly by their side. Besides, Governor WALKER may produce new facts as to this Constitution.' It seems to us that he has not yet been fully heard _by the Administration. It seems that he was not oven apprised of the doubt as to his own ultimate decision on this question. He is a witness that should be beard. He is competent to the case. Ile was in the battle, and Comes from the field like a warrior, who can speak more truly than those who stand at a convenient distance, and criticise and denounce his action. We trust that, through his counsels; some common ground may be agreed upon, and that all the friends of the Administration may be rallied in one solid and resistless column. While there is, on the part of Democrats who eppose this Calhoun Convention, a dooidcd purpose never to yield their opposition, there is, at the same time, the strongest confidence in the sagacity and patriotism of JAMES,BUCHANAN.' This is our case. It was his name that saved us from sectionalism in 1856. It was his Conservative character that shattered the Republican col umn. It was his known inclination in favor of fair play in' Kansas that enabled us to save Pennsylvania from that abyss into which she must inevitably have fallen had• we faltered for a moment in our adherence to CC THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY." Our reliance now, as then, s upon him. . THE,SUBMISSION OF THE SLAVERY CLAUSE OF THE KANSAS CONSTITU TION. Some of our Democratic cotemporaries, who warmly advocate the Calhoun Constitu tion, do so on the ground that it fairly submits the question of slavery to the people, and that this Is all that is neeessark or desirable. It is worthy of remark, that even this is not done in the usual mode. On ordinary occasions, when the body of a Constitution is submitted to the people, and their judgment is particu larly desired upon an isolated clause, they aro authorized to. vote direct for or against such clause. The Kansas Convention has not only given the people no' opportunity of passing judgment upon their entire Constitution, but it has also prevented them from voting direct upon the slavery clause as a naked proposition. They can may vote for the Constitution with slavery or for the Constitulion Without slavery. They cannot vote for the slavery clause, or against the slavery elawie, without also voting for the Constitution. Suppose A was a can didate for one office that of Governor—and B and 'C were candidates for President, and a law should be'passed' authorizing tl e. people to vote for A for Governor .and B for-Presi dent, or for A for Governor and C for Presi dent, the question of the Presidency would, in such an event, be submitted very much as the slavery clause is now submitted in Kansas, and those who wished to vote on the Presidency at all, would be obliged to vote fora candidate for Governor who might be very obnoxious to them. LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE. • The public aro beginning to experience the benefit of the measure lately adopted by the Associaied Press, for the maintenance of a news yacht off Cape Race, to meet the mail steamers from Europe, and obtain a 'seminary of the latest intelligence from each, fur in ad vance of all other means. Last Week, wo thui obtained the intelligence brought by the Jian'- derbill. We now have to report_ four days' later news, by the steamer Fulton, which left Southampton on the 18th inst., passed•• Cape Race on the evening of Saturday, and will' be due at New York to-morrow. As far as we havit learned, tho news is chief- ly commercial. The suspension of the Bank charter would seem to have greatly restored confidence, and the money;market was easier and firmer. Several more commercial houses had failed or suspended—none of them con nected with the dmericitn trade. There had been such a decline In the English breadstuffs market, that it is sieken of as a panic." The French money-market held up, and the Bank of France was disc:mulling on liberal terms.

Having declined a re-election, the expiration of your present term will soon sever the relation that for several years has existed between yourself and the members of the bar—a relation that enables them to 'boar witness to the great learning, long experionce,,nnwearied industry and eminent abili ty with which your duties as a Judge and Chief Justice of the -Supreme Court of this Common wealth have been discharged.

PITTSBURGH, November 18th,1857, GErnamax : I acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, inviting me to partake of a public dinner. You communicate your approba tion of my judicial conduct in terms so cordial, ex plicit, and kind, that) know not how to express my gratitude. I trust to your own hearts to feel and appreciate the emotions which move mine, as the moment approaches for the dissolving our offi cial relations. Your uniform courtesy and respect have been a ohooring substitute for the domestic comforts which public duty required me to forego. Your great learning and eminent ability in the disousstons of the important questions constantly arising out of the vast business connections of this groat manufacturing and commercial' city, have constantly aided me in the performance of my judicial duties. It is just that I should make these neknowledgments.g Although I look forward with pleasing anticipa tions to the termination of my judicial labors and responsibilities, I confess that a feeling of sadness comes over me as I am about to part with valued friends at the bar, and cherished brethren on the beach. I have good reason to know that the feel ing is - reciprocal. The measure you propose may have its uses; I therefore accept the invitation for any day 'which may suit your convenience, so that it is before Thursday next, on which day I shall be obliged to leave Pittsburgh for my residence in Philadelphia. Yours, with great respect, Ewa LEWIS. To Charles Mailer, Esq.; A. W. Loomis, Esq., Wil son M'Candless, Esq , and other members of the Bar of Pittsburgh and Allegheny county.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH FOR TEE PRESS.] Kansas—Tbe Aentinlstration foroed to recom mend the . Authorization of o Loan—Marine Hospitals to a great extent to be done away WASIIINGTON, Nov. 29, 1857.—Opposition to the recent notion of the Kansas Constitutional Conven tion is a growing foaling among the conservative National Democracy of the country. Even a New York paper, which invariably follows the per -vading sentiment while appearing to create it, re traces its steps of previous days, and returns to the position which it originally occupied. The fair men and strict interpreters of the plat form of the Cincinnati Presidential Convention and the Inaugural Address of Mr. liumiNeu—these mon, who stood steadily by Governor WALKHR from the outsot, are not in temper now to abandon the principle for which ho and they have contended, As the news arrives from the Northwest, the East, and from the groat middle States, it is learned with certainty that the Demooratic repre sentatives in Congress will, as they have done during the existence of these Kansas troubles, yield obedience only to the will of tho majority of the people of that Territory, as fairly expressed. ,The Lonikvillo Democrat of the 20th and 21st inst., (the reputed organ of the Kentucky _De mocracy,) says: " It is the duty of the Democratic party to settle the affairs of KattMs by the straightforward policy they hare laid down and pledged themselves to. The people of Kansas are to fix their own institutions, and are o have afair opportunity to do it. * * * * It is unbecoming a great party.to swerve from principle from favor or resentment toward au party. It were infinitely bate" for the South. , to lose a dozen such States as Kansas than to allow even a suspicion that she had countenanced any fraud or juggling for her benefit. * * We are of opinion that the refusal to submit the Constitution entire to the popular vote will be fatal to its acceptance by Congress St. * at Kansas. le not a State yet; and there is no novereignty about the Convention. nut if there was, the people are to settle the institutions of Kansas; not the people by a fiction of law, but the real people.,'* * * The Constitution is not submit ted to thi people, and no reason sail be given for the onission, except the apprehension Mat It might be voted down, rill the other States run the ri It of dragging a State into the Union that does with to come in on the conditions proposed? They cannot do it; and toe may safely predict they will not do it.. California and Illinois, Pennsylvania and In diana, the North, the East and the West, the Northwest, end 'the Southwest, those who sus tained the fight in the last presidential contest will, if report ho true, stand firmly together upon the ground taken in the present photo of the Kansas question by the Pitufll4, the Chicago Times, the Detroit Free Press, and the other principal Demooratio presses of the country. Of course, the Now Orleans Delta, the Charleston illereury, and the South will continue in the course which they have heretofore pursited. Shortly after the assembling of Congress and the organization of the blouse of Representatives, there will be, I learn, a resolution introduced—and if introduced, it will certainly be passed--calling on the President to furnish, if not incompatible with the public interest, all the information which he may possess of the affairs of Kansas, as communi cated to bhp during the recess between the sessions When the response to this resolution is publish ed, and it appears that the provisions of the Con stitution in 'question are slot made public, not known erect to the Administration, the unfair ness of the'Convention will become, so apparent as to draw down upon it the indignation and con tempt of all honest men of whatever party. Mr. Duelist/AN echo and converses with gentle men of prominence in the party as they arrive, ',and these'gonnrally oppose the schedule of the I Convention - . Mr. Wia.xnn, too, informs the Ad ministration on many points of Kansas affairs, of which before they had imperfect and unioliablo knowledge. , . The amount in tho Treasury subject to draft ia seven millions of dollarsovith a weekly excess of expenditures of the Government over the receipts from customs of half a million. It would seem that the Treasury have given up the hopo to which they clung before the financial diaries and depression of trade had spread from America to Europe, and that now the fact is not aopied, ttiothi ordor to Oftrry og tho Guyon:mon O and to successfully prosecute a war with the Mor mons, which is inevitable, a recommendation must be made to Congress to author* the negotiation of a loan of fifty millions. An effort will bo made to do away with very many of the marine hospitals, which aro a fruitful ammo of Governmental expenditure. Some of them have not during the year as many patients as federal officera attached to them. These latter draw high eateries from the treasury without giv. ing the slightest approximate return for them. Retrenchment and reform will be demanded from every branoh of the Government. X. Y. • FURTHER FROM CALIFORNIA. ARRIVAL OF THE NORTHERN LIGHT $1,750.000 IN GOLD ARRIVED• Murder of California Emigrants zn Utah. IMPORTANT FROM CENTRAL AMERICA War against Costa Rica declared by Nicaragua. Now Yam:, Nov. 20.—The steamship Northern Light, from Aspinwall, via Havana, arrived about six o'clock this evening. !The came up entirely unexpected, no announcement of hbr being below having been received. Sho brings $1,750,000 in treasure, 600 passengers, and the California mails of the sth Instant. The evidence of the massacre of one hundred and eighteen California emigrants to California, in the Southern part of Utah, appears to be conclu sive against the Mormons. There is much excite ment in California in relation to the outrage. Samuel Brannon, of San Francisco, Las deeded a tract of land, two miles square, located near Saeraucento, with other property, to three trus tees, as security for moneys deposited in the now bank established by Lim. Funds have been provided to pay the interest on the San Francisco school bonds, payable in New York. FROM CENTRAL AMERICA The Panama papers contain the 'proclamation of Martinez, General-in•chief of the Nicaraguan army, dated Cot. 22d, declaring war against Costa Rica. The General declares that Nicaragua will preserve the whole line of transit from ocean to ocean, also the district of Guanacosta. The Costa Rican General has made a formal demand for the surrender of the fort of San Carlos. The latter is reported to be on the Lake, in a steamer, and had been fired upon by the Nicaraguan troops. The Mails by the Northern Light [From the Alta California, bth Inst.] TITg . CITY. There is but little of interest to form the sum mary of oily news since the sailing of the last steamer. The U. S. District Court, on the 21st , inst., con firmed the claim of Juan Crisostorno Galindo to 8,000 aores of land; lying one league south of the town of Santa Clara. Tho claim of J. C. Palmer and others to •the Bonito Diaz claim was argued and submitted before the U. S. District Court on the 21st ult. Tho trial of Charles Gallagher, in the Fourth District Court, for the murder of O'Hara, some three months ago, in a fight on Pacific street, was commenced on the 21st alt., and resulted in a verdict of manslaughter. A man. named John Jenkins, a native of Eng land, aged thirty-seven years, who was employed as a cook on tho steamer Republic, died on the trip from Crescent City, on the 22d ult., of disease of the heart. • A public meeting of the citizens was hold at the City Hall, on the evening of the 2ith inst.. to take suitable measures for an expression of public sentiment and sympathy in relation to the recent calamity in the loss of the CentraMmerlea, with some live hundred returning Californians The United States grand jury returned a true bill of indictment against Augustin Haraszthy, latemeltorand refiner in the United Statesßranch Mint, for embezzlement of $151,000 from the Mint. The trial of Valentine Ritchie, for tho murder of Michael Corbett on the 27th of September, was commenced in the fourth district court on the 28th ult., and resulted in a verdict of guilty of mur der in the second degree, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors, on the 29th ult., the city and county treasurer was instructed to forward to New York, through Alsop & Co., the interest on coupons falling duo in that city on the school bonds. . The United States grand jury, on the 31st ult., ignored the indictment for perjury against John Michel Eokfeldt, and Hiram T. Graves, coiner and assistant coiner in the United States branch mint. An immense moss meeting of the citizens wag hold at Musical Hall, on Saturday night, the Ist inst., to take measures for a proper expression of publio feeling in regard to the loss of life on the Central America. A series of resolutions were re ported by the committee, and adopted by the meeting. The United States' branch mint of this city closed on the 31st ult., to make the semi-annual settlement. It will open again in three or four weeks. The arrival of the J. L. Stephens, on the 2d inst., with the news that the drafts forwarded by the house of Bather .1 . ; Church bad been protested, caused considerable excitement. • Many of their depositors took out attachments, and the °Moors proceeded to servo them. At one o'clock on the morning of the 3d, the doors of the banking house were thrown open, and those having claims against the house were invited to present them and receive payment. A considerable amount of money was paid out, and, at half-past nine o'clock A. M., the bank closed, but will probably resume payment in a day or two. There was also a steady run on the house of Talinnt dr, Wilde, and several other bankers, but they have all paid thus far, and it is thought the panic , is now over. The steamer Sonora carried down on her trip of August 20 tb , $1,595,497. Of this amount, $340,307 was left at Aspinwall, and thence shipped to Eu. rope, THE STATE The most important items of news by this steam er is the display before the public of a largo amount of evidence, going to show that the party of ono hundred and eighteen immigrants, massacred in the southern part of Utah while on their way to California—news of which occurrence was sent from here by the last mail—were murdered by Mormons. Mr. George Powers arrived a few days sines at Los Angeles, from Salt Lake, anti reports having board many Mormons threaten to kill Gen tiles passing through their country. Ile inet a mixed party of Mormons and Indians going toward a Mormon settlement from the scone of the massa cre, and they had in possession bundles of clothing and other articles, apparently the spoil of the mur dered ; and the whole party appeared to be on very friendly terms with one another, and to be in high spirits. This Mr. Powers also states that in San Bernar dino he heard Captain Hunt, a man of authority among the Mormons there, say he was glad for the massacre, and believed the hand of the Lord was in it, whether it was done by the whites or red; skins. P. M. Warn, of Genesee county, Now York, who came through about the same time with Mr. Powers, believes also, from numerous facts observed by him, that tho Mormons are guilty of the bloody crime. Messrs. Abbott and Fine, two gentlemen who have lately been at San Andres, from the Humboldt: river, report great hostility on the part of the Mormons toward the immigrants coming to California by the South Pass, and great friendship with the Indians who had made attacks on immigrants. Both Mr. Abbott and Mr. Fine knew of cases where trains wore attacked in the Mormon country, by Indians led on by numerous white mon, sup posed to be Mormons. Mr. Abbott says live hun dred emigrants have been killed this year on the road between Salt Lake and California by Indians and Mormons, but this estimate is certainly very much exaggerated. A man, named William F. Pinney, late public administrator of Tuolumne county, shot himself the other day through the head. The Sacramento Union has a letter from Placer• villa, dated the 26th ultimo, in which the writer says that he had seen two of the train of the Messrs. Frain, from Arkansas, who had just ar rived. The train contained 13 wagons, 18 mon, and about 60 women and children. They were at tacked by Indians at the junction of the Fort Hall and Salt Lake, and had ono men killed and another wounded. There were three or four white men with the Indians. All wore mounted and armed with rifles. Ezekiel Bulloch, who killed Thomas Latta, in Sacramento, on this Oth of Juno last, has boon found guilty by a jury, in that city, in the sixth judicial district, of the crime of murder in this second ddgree. Sentence will be passed on the 2d of November. The penalty is imprisonment in the State Prison for life, or for not less than ton years. By the steamer Senator, which arrived on the 27th, from ports on the southern coast, we have files of Los Angeles papers to the 23th of October, and from San Diego to 17th of October. The only Information of importance is in rotation to the In dian troubles on the Plains. The news imblished on the arrival of the last steamer of the massacre of over ono hundred immigrants, is fully confirmed. This evidence establishing the complicity of the Mormons in this outrage, is now sufficient to banish all doubt on that subject. ANOTHER TRAIN ATTACKED-MORMON REBELLION S. B. Hones, of Franklin aounty, Arkansas, roeontly arrived at Los Angeles. Ile loft home On the 9th of May last, for California. Ile saw nothing' of armed bands till they reached Fort Bridger, in Utah Territory. More they saw a largo quantity of provisions stored, a considerable number of Indians encamped all around the fort, and hoard the people generally speaking of making preparations to go out and meet General Harney. At Fort Bridger he was told by a merchant, that at Fort Supply over four hundred Indians wore encamped, awaiting orders to attack the United States troops. About thirty miles from Fort Bridger, ho met three companies of men, generally mounted, find all well armed, having abundance of baggage, their wagons being numbered in messes. Mr. Hones says ho also here had a conversation with ono of the Mormon soldiers, an Englishman, who, camp ing with the company, grow very communicative over the camp-fires. The substance of this conver sation Mr. Monett reports as follows : "Ile referred in bitter terms to the treatment the Mormons had received in Illinois and Missouri, re flected on the unjustness and tyranny of the peo ple of the United States, and said that the time was come to got oven. his said they were on their way to meet Gen. Harney, to seo what he was com ing for; if ho was coming peaceably, we will let him corns, but if not, wo will drive him back,' were the words used. That men wore found who could face the enemy, and that Barney, with his 2,500 mon, never would enter Salt Lake city. He also stated that Gover nor Brigham Young had ordered the people to pre pare !or war; that they should not soil emigrants anything; that they must lay up provisions; that the mon and women must not dross up in store clothes any mdre, but that all must be saved to for ward the cause of the church against the common enemy; that the mon must bo content with buck- Skin instead of broadcloth, and have plenty of gone and ammunition. Brigham Young had declared, in the Temple, that henceforth Utah was a separate and inde pendent Territory, and owed no obedience or alle giance to any form or laws hut those of their own enactment, and salted upon the• people to stand. together, and support him In maintaining the cause of God and the church. Was told that the house of Gilbert de Garrison had orders front Brig ham to pack up and leave before the first of No vember. During all the residue of this journey, the train of Mr. Roma was harassed by the In dians. Two men in a train that joined them, Capt. Turner and Mr. Collins, were shot and seriously wounded while in the Mormon train of Beaver, by the Indians. While near the Muddy, the Indians made another attack upon Mr. Itonaa's train, and run off 375 head of cattle. bl4llll=6,—PAti rßA2G3tiGgi TagillY "4" THE PItESS.--1411LADELPH1A, MONDAY, NOVEMiIEII.

Police Items.—An individual came to this city a week ago end enlisted himself as a giicst at the Girard House.

W. W.," of whioh brief cognomen he was the proprietor. Ho received several appli cations, and in his interviews with the parties, smoothness of language and face, and a well-as sumed Quaker dialect, dispelled all doubts of his integrity and honesty of purpose. A large book firm on Chestnut street gave hint their paper to the amount of MO in exchange for his chock. The note was immediately converted into cash, less a marginal shave, and the cheek discovered to be valueless. Several others were victimized, and the polished rogue took his departure, forgetful, in a multiplicity of business, of his boarding liabili ties.

Phillips and Ingersoll, and did not appear at all anxious or excited, although some of the developments, as will bo seen by our report, were of a rather compromising character. District-Attorney Mann, who, with Alexander Simpson, Esq., eonduoted the prosecution, opened the case by saying that this was a !rata. rorints in the case of William Wainwright, late pre9ident of the Commercial Bank in this city, on the charge of °Moist perjury, in knowingly allowing the bank to take interest at a greater rate than six per cent. per annum. That, In the year 1856, the defendant was president of the Commercial Bank, and, before that, a director in that Institu tion. That es president he had taken oath pre soribed-by the act of Assembly, not to receive more than half of ono per cent. per month as discount on promissory notes; the bank was also forbid don to deal in any thing but gold end ailVer, bul lion and bills of exchange. Ile expected to show by the testimony ho would offer, that Mr. Wain wright had violated the oath he had taken, and that, with his knowledge and consent, the bank bought promissory notes from brokers, at a higher rate than six per cent. per annum, and had paid for them in unourrent money.

Newbold, sworn—l was a broker in 1851; I did business with the Commercial Bank in that year; I took the uneurrent funds, sometimes $5OO, at others $l5OO daily, or every other day ; I gave my check, either a memorandum or a good chock for this money; I sometimes gave promis sory notes for this money; the bank had no pro ' ports in those notes until they discounted them; I also received bills of exchange and drafts on other cities; the difference arising out of these transla tions I paid the bank daily; I don't know the amounts; there was no fixed amount to be paid to the bank on these transactions; it was regulated by the price of the uncurrent funds, and what was regarded as a fair valuation of money at the time ; by money, I mean promissory notes, and not gold or silver; that was the way I arrived at the amount; the bank left it entirely to ourselves; semotimos delivered the notes to the bank before I got the unourrent funds; I either used the uncur rent funds in my own business. or sold it; I gene rally enclose , ' the difference in an envelope, and directed the bearer to deliver it to the cashier or the president; I received the unourrent money generally from the teller of the bank, and I re ceived the promissory notes from the person with whom I made the settlement. William H. Newbold, sworn —I am a broker; I do not recollect having any transactions with the Commercial Bank in the year 1854 or '55. Robert H. Beatty re•oxaminod.—The bank mado in the transutiens of May third and fourth, in excess of the legal rates, $233.50, and from May to November, 1854, $11,101.50; the amount that should be credited to discount i 551,550.64 ; the ex cess is what was received over the legal rates ; when drafts and bills of exchange wore deposited, whatever discount would be taken off' would be en- tered in the general scratcher, and not given in as discount; when they sold a draft, the premi um on it was entered on the premium account; I saw Mr. Newbold come to the hank every day, and ho got the uneurrent funds from Mr. Palmer, and then went into the president's room; I SAW the envelopes and packages of money go Into the president; they were generally brought by is per son In the employ of 'Wm. 11. Newbold, named Sturges; I don't know what the rates of discount were on the street in the month of May, 1854;' any note-broker can tell; without knowing the loss on the uncurrent money, I cannot say what the rate of discount really was. Cross•examined by Mr. Ingersoll.—l sometimes kept the bgoks; I have made some of the discount entries; T think I have made some of these dis- count entries from May to November, 1854; I officiated often at the discount desk ; I cannot par ticularize any discount entry in which I know where the money came from ; the amount of dis count received in this time is $11,950, and of promissory notes $1,900,000; Mr. Wainwright brought in the slips and directed me to make the entries in the discount book. Oswald C. Montgomery was sworn, but his tea timony threw no light on these transactions. James M. Aertsun, sworn—l am a broker; have no recollection of receiving uneurrent money front tho Commercial Bank in 1854; I have got uncurront funds from the hank, but cannot say when; the transactions of the firm with the bank wore carried on by John S. Nowbold ; I do not know if the bank made any profit by the ex changes, but presume it did; it is more presump tion ; our firm sent the excess nearly every day to the bank, in an envelope; the amount dupondod on the market value of tho uneurrent monoy, and also the vain° of promissory notes and bills re ceivable. Cross•oxamined by Mr. Ingorsoll—l never had any transaction with Mr. Wainwright in regard to uncurront money. District Attorney Mann then said, ho would Close here, and, before making any comments on the testimony, ho would read tho act of Assembly under which the prosecution was brought. After the reading of the act of Assembly, Mr. Mann continued, by saying that the testimony in this case disclosed a etato of affairs which left no doubt on the mind of any ono that the funds of tho bank had been diverted from their legiti mate purpose, and this by a scheme to evade tho law It was impossible that these things could have been done without the knowledgo of the President, and, if the evidence was to be believed, be not only know of it, but ho did it himself. Ile would therefore ask the court to hold this defen dant to answer for a violation of his official oath. Mr Phillips, for the defendant, said that no of fence had boon stated to the court by the District Attorney. If any Mimeo had boon committed at all, it must have been perjury, and certainly that charge could not be sustained against this defen dant, as it required two witnesses to establish it, and only ono had testified to these transactions. Mr. Phillips continued for a considerable time and with grout force to prose his views, and was fol lowed by Mr. Ingersoll for the defendant. Mr. Ingersoll, in a very able argument, con tended that no ease was made out against the de fendant, and that he should be discharged. Judge Conrad intimated that lie would deliver his decision on Wednesday next. District Attor ney Mann and Alexander Simpson, Eeq., for the Commonwealth ; Blears.

PIIILAXIELPIIII, November 28, 1857. The money market at the close of the week shows no variation from the features it has pre sented shale the commencement, though the stock market exhibits a condition of extreme sensitive ness, with a tendency to lower prices. The action of the New York banks in loaning money on call for stock operations, with a view to raise prices and enable themselves to realise upon the de , preadated collaterale in hand, is - checked, and likely to be very much restrained for some time to come, by the news ,frotn England, and the renewal of heavy specie shipmenta from this country. The consequence of the curtail ment of these resources on the actions of the bro kers is at once apparent in the record of stock Bales in New York, and, of course, in the other large cities. Railroad stocks, however, at anything like present prices, aro more temptingto capitalists than the bonds, and generally show more firmness in prices. Those roads particularly which enjoy a large coal trade in the winter nation are advancing with steadiness, the early advent of severe weather having a tendency, by closing the canals, to add considerably to their ordinary earnings. At the recent annual meeting of the Girard Bank stockholders it was stated that the bank had reason to expect a considerable payment on ac count of its proportion of an old claim upon the North American Trust Company, in liquidation for many years. It was intimated that, though the usual dividend would be passed at that time, a dividend might be declared by the directors when this windfall should come into their possession. The bank has received as its proportion of one pay ment on account of this claim within a fraction:of $140,000, and the prospects are that a further sum of $60,000 will be received ere long. The whole claim formed • part of the doubtful assets of the bank at the time of its reorganization, and the money thus realised goes far towards making good the whole amount at which these assets were ap praised. The action of the bank as to a dividend is uncertain, though it appears probable, as the usual time for it has gone by, that no dividend will be made until the recurrence of the next semi-annual dividend day. The receipt of the money having been in a great measure anticipated for some weeks, the stook of the bank has not ap preciated in price to any considerable extent under the news. Tho history of this claim against the North American Trust Company forms a ouriona chapter in financial annals, and might well be the ground• work of a popular novel. We propose, when time and opportunity serve, to sketch the outlines of it for our roaders. The City of Glasgow Bank writes to Messrs Richard Irvin S Co , of New York,.that their drafts will be accepted as usual, and payment of the acceptances of the bank duly provided for in London. The supreme court of Connecticut has postponed. until December 29, the consideration of the qtes tion of granting a perpetual injunction against the Bank of Hartford County.

The local trade are buying to supply present wants, at from $5 25a $7.25 per bbl, according to brand and quality. Corn Meal and Rye Flour are quiet ; the former is held at $3 12i per bbl, but there are sellers at less, and the latter at $1 50 per bbl, and scarce at that. Wheat is offered at $1.2041 25 for red, and $1 30a $1.33 for white, with sales of 1,800a1,800 bus only, at these rates for fair to prime lots. Corn is want ed, and 2,500 bus old yellow brought Ste, including a lot in the cars at £soe, ; about 3,000 bus new sold at 60a65c, as to dryness. Oats aro better, and about 4,500 bus have been sold at 38a370 for Southern, including 2,500 bus on terms kept secret. Rye is wanted at Mai% by the distillers, but there is very little coming in. Bark is unchanged, but quiet ; a further small sale of Ist quality Quer citron was made at $3O per ton Cotton is held at about previously quoted rates, but the demand is limited, and the stook very much reduced. Cle yerseed is wanted at $5a55.25 per bushel, and but little coaling in ; the dealers are buying at the for mer rate from wagons.

A LABOR OF Lora.—About the first of June last a few gentlemen from Dr. Berg's congregation, in Seventh street, above Brown, feeling the need of greater effort being put forth In the great missionary field of Sabbath-school enterprise In this city, !secured the house used by the Cohockalnk public school, in the ex treme northern part of the city, and immediately went to work with a view of gathering in the neglected children of that district. They had not proceeded far is this good work before they found that, notwith standing the vieintly was rich in numbers, they had a comparatively sterile field to work in. Still they per covered ; the teachers in moat cues being obliged to walk an aggregate of four miles to attend to their classes every Sabbath. Yesterday afternoon we bad the pleasure of visiting this school, and found to oar astonishment a hones full of children, numbering nearly two hundred, and under the management of those devoted men and women who base it in charge, progressing admirably. The change upon the conduct of those children since the commence ment of the school, is very marked, so much so, that notwithstanding the fact that at first their subjection to rule was almost impossible, they behaved on the oc casion here referred to in a manner at once creditable to themselves and to those who have them in charge During the address, delivered by a whiter who hap pened to be present on the occasion here referred to, there was a degree of attention and good belles for manifeated by those children, which would certainly not have disgraced the conduct of a congregation of " children of a larger growth " Mr. Sibbs, of Rey.

BY THE PILOT LINE. LETTER FRONI NEW TORE. (Correspondence of The Pao.] NEw Yoßc, Nov. 1857-5 20 P.M The week closes on an inactive money market. The same torpor that has prevailed for the past few days still continues, and except on the very best collaterals, and at very abort dates or on call, money is next to impossible to get, without sub mitting to the tender treatment of the note-sha vers, whose rates vary, according to the quality of the paper, from If to 3 per cent. a month. Sven with this worthy class there io an evident indispre SWIM to avoid all long engagements. They seem to apprehend that something " will turn up" in which they can employ their funds even more profitably than in shaving at the above quoted prices. How sincerely I hope they may he dia.- ap pointed. The banks will be found, In my opinion. to have contracted still further, Recording to Monday's statement. They are making themselves very •• and are suing and laming executions every day, with the most eager assiduity. They continua to seek "prime commercial signatures" and ‘. first-elm collaterals," but the search is pro ductive of very insufficient results. Their friends regard the permission given to the Bank of Eng land to expand, if neemary, to supply the legiti mate wants of commerce, as very tmlisereet and ill-judged. The result of the permission, the stay of the panic, and the restoration of con fidence, does not exactly illustrate the force of their reasoning; but as their own pursuit of the oppo site policy has been .so beneft:isl • they hare abundant reason to vaunt the superiority of their management Nine hundred and ninety-nine cut of every thousand of our commercial men are stupid enough to believe that had the New York banks done what the Bank of England is now em powered to do, and as they repeatedly promised, the lists of failures in the independent would not have been so large, and the banks themselves would have less plethoric portfolios of doubtful " bills receirable." There is no mention made now of a remmption of specie payments by our delectable banks. I beliere that erent is now indeinitely postponed, and will continue so it the Legislature does not take steps to compel the bank managers to ac: honestly, and abandon their ••snbt.le ways,'' which are quite as inexplicable as Mr. Emerson's poem.

It is admitted, that un less the directors can borrow all tha money, no dividend ran be declared, and it is to be bepesk that they will not take so ruinous a course. It is far wiser to pass the dividend and pay ci the floating debt. The road is certainly cane of the soundest, if not the roundest, in the Union ; but strong as it is, it could not resist the pressure of the last three month.. At a meeting held to-day, it was resolved to appoint a committee to consider the election of a board of directors on the 9th proximo. It is probable that. as Mr. Consing's duties in Congress will prevent his attending to the bus:nma of the road as president, he will re sign his seat, and another president will be elected on the 9th of December. The falling of in the November receipts will, it is believed, be very large It is supposed that the groat receipts cf the Erie road for the month will not amount to dl30,0i)0.
