Polio Items.—A party of three ladies ' with a gentleman, residents of the western part of the city, visited the Blind Asylum on Wednesday afternoon, and attended the weekly concert which is given there. Af ter the concert was over, ono of the ladles was about buying a-brush, when she discovered that her pocket s had been picked of her port moonaie containing flail dollars.

They have no suspicion as to the .Identity of the plek.pockets. -On Wednesday night, at slate hour, two men of re spectable appearance applied to the Montgomery House, Sixth and Willow streets, kept by Mr. William Sheets, for a room, and registered their names as A. Alien and friend. They mom between five and six o'clock yester day morning, and quietly entered the rooms of several of the boaters by means of nippers, and relieved the sleeping occupants of all their valuables in the shape of money and jewelry. One of the attaches of the house lost a sneer watch and five dollars incest'. After eocuring all the booty they lett the bowie secretly, and have not been heard of since.

Wynkoop.—Ths funeral of the lamented Colonel Wynkoop, whom death was occaloaed by accident, took place on Wednesday afternoon at Pottsville. Business generally was sus pended, the stores cloned, and an unusual degree of solemnity monied to pervade the entire community. The citizens of Pottsville attended the funeral, also the military of that and adjacent places. The Scott Legion, of which the deceased was a member, performed the military honors incident to the occasion. The funeral was large and iropoeiog.. The romaine of the illustrioue deceased were laid out in citizen's dress , And the coffin Was covered by the uniform worn by Isle, at Mexico. The flag of the Legion was used as a pall. The war horse belonging to Colopel Wynkoop was led immedi ately behind the hearse. - The procession Was deeply impressive, and not a few in that mournful train, as 'Moved along with measured tread, parted with a tear to the memory of the gallau t soldier, the good citizen, the beloved by all, whose re• mains they were following to the cold, silent tomb. He wee buried in the graveyard at the upper end of Market etreet, at Pottsville. The Scott Legion, during their short May in the city, received marked attention by the citizens of the place, which we doubt not will long be remembered with grate ful kindness by the members who proceeded thereto pay the last tribute of respect to the remains of one whom they all so recently rejoiced In calling commander. The Legion arrived in this city at haltpaat 11 o'clock yesterday morning, and were received by the Cadwala der Greys, and escorted to their armory. berendiarient,—The crime of arson is on the Increase in come of the rural portions of the city. About Holmeshurg, Frankford, Germantown, Wait Philadel phia, and other localities, incendiary fires have been very frequent of late, and people who have combustible property exposed are anxious and uneasy. At Holmee burg 'a standing reward of $3OO bee been offered by an Insurance Company at that place for the street -of ineendiarles, and the Quaker City insurance Company of this city Lai followed the example thus set, by offer ing a reward of $2OO for the arrest of the incendiary or Incendiarlea who eel fire to the property recently destroyed on Washington Lane, near Germantown. Mr. James Gonna also offers a reward of $3OO for the arrest of the scoundrel who set fire to one of hie barns at Mount Airy, on last Sunday afternoon. The barn which was set on fire contained eighty tons of hay, and if the 041114 had not been discovered and extinguished before they had made mach progress, a very serious de struction of other valuable property must have been the result. The origin of these frequent firm in the 'teal districts bile been distinctly traced to incendia. rl . THE MONEY MARKET. PIitLADF<HIA, rho. 17, 1858 The subject of the abolition of small bank notes continues to occupy public attention all .over the country, and daily adds to the number of its advo eates. Not the least earnest among these have heretofore reposed almost entire faith in the expe dient adopted in several States, of authorizing any banking association to IMO bank bins, on condi tion Of making a deposit, with the State au thorities, of public stocks or other good secu rities, to an amount equal to that of the notes they viish to circulate. This deposit has been in tended to scour., the ultimate payment of the notes 80 lamed. The late panic has shown the disciples of this system that it was the immediate paymobt of the notes that was needed, and that no security as to future payment would prevent groat present depreciation. The State stocks have proved to be, as Mr. Gouge predicted they would ho, least available when most wanted; the very douses whieh . pievent the banks from redeeming their issues promptly producing a fall in the value of the stocks and mortgages, on the ultimate secu rity of which their notes have been issued. AU the expedients which have heretofore been devised by the advocates of small notes have proved insufficient, and this for the simple reason that they do not in any ease strike at the root of the evil. They do net propose to lessen the amount of the small-note currency, nor to obviate the risk of a general suspension of specie pay ments. They merely provide for the ultimate re 'domption of the bills, which is sufficiently well guarantied by our law of 1850, giving priority to the noteholders over all other bank creditors. Hoer limbo proves that in large cities the bulk of the circulation Is in notes of a largo amount; in the Country, however, the reverse is true. There large notes taro rarely issued, bet the small notes of the banks supply tho circulating medium, and drive the gold and silvor out of eight. The profit upon this circulation acts as a bounty to the banks, whose notes are always, to a great extent, in the hands of persons who have no direct dollop with them, and who, knowing littlo or nothing es to the safety of this currenoy, are sure, in time of exoite mont to adopt the very means most likely to ren der it irredeemable. The risk of being broken by noteholders is the price which the banks pay for the profit on their circulation, and this price is amply proved to be far too great for the benefit so purobased. As the banks do not appear to gain by their circulation in a long course of years ' and ae it is very certain that the people lose by it, it would seem but rea sonable that it should bo done away. It is itnpos- Able that it onn be made as secure ae the coin Whioh it drives out .of circulation, because, while bank notes form any considerable part of the cur rency, a financial pressure may, at any time, drive all the banks of the country, however well managed, to a suspension of spade payments. ' Let the circulation be cut off, and half the hanks of the country would at once cease to exist. Every bank of issue in a small village, or a rural locality where there is no surplus capital, and no trade to use it if it'existed—every bank owned by distant speculators or capitalists who have borrowed a :locality and a name—every bank established, as Ifindierla are, only for the profit to be gained by the issue-.of notes, would speedily be wound up. The yroper business of banking would be conducted ,by thi , parties interested , in it, and who alone *add be affected by its fluetuations. Bloke would milonger be the subjects of either popular jealousy or disliko;bimause they would no longer occasion popular hare, - or popular losses. They would be 'then what, they ought to be, elmplyconunereial in- //Motions, in whose dealings and operations the people at large would feel no concern and evince no - - PHILADELPHIA STOCE EXCHANGE SALEB, December 17, 1857. gaiorted by R. /Wank, Jr.,stock Broker, ,No • gOi Walnut street.

Church, Eighth street, above Race, was well tilled with a highly intelligent audience to hear a lecture from this talented but siglitives divine, (formerly Chaplain of our National House of Represen tativeed on the eubjeot of • 'Western Mind—lts Maul Notations," &c. At the appointed time a prayer was offered tb the Throne of Grace by liev. P. Coomb, at the closeof which Mr. Millburn rose, and commenced his lecture by say ing that a book was e very good thing, yet it was by no moans the most essential thing in the world ; and that if the American people had not yet produced a single readable book It would be to him no matter of surprise. A more important thing, by far, than books wee bread. The progrees of the human mind was always dependent upon certain condition'. From the muscle to the nerve, from the nerve to the brain, and thus to the mind, ivas the natural course of mental development. Two hundred years ago our forefathers bad landed upon these Western shores. All wan then a wild waste before them. The glebe woe to be broken, and the forest was to be felled, and in these early and rude necessities was developed the incipient germ of that thorough personality which characterises ua as a peo ple. The spinning wheels of our grandmothers had been the germs of manufacturing American Alan chesters. Within the coinparatively narrow slip of country lying between the Alleghenies—commencing in central New York and exterding to central Georgia—on the west, and the surging billows of the Atlantic, on the east, the capacities of our forefathers had been tented, and abed only been after a faithful probation in this narrow re gion of about a century and a ball that they bad been found worthy to receive the word to go forth and possess that goodly region lying to the westward. The problem that was assigned to the earlier settlers of New England was still daily being solved by the sturdy pioneers of our western frontier. The same hip. and-thigh contest with barbarism and savage life, en countered by the former, wits still being repeated in similar enterprise/of the present day. In the speaker's opinion, the fact of our speaking the English language, and having the English literature, wee not what made us whet we are, a . dttuntleas and energetic people i rather were these qualities attributable to the eternal struggle with stern necessity. Battling with the Indi ans had been the school-house in which the American had received his prowess, and which had given to hint those (unmistakable traits of character which distin gide& him from every other people under heaven. The early explorers of the West had been simple, calm, eelf.possessed, and dnunGess men, and had in most cases been attracted thither by the goodilness of the land, and the disposition to be sufficiently isolated in their position to enjoy the widest possible liberty. But the instinct of fellowship was one of the most sublime traits of the American character. The early pioneer, who had gone forth and built his but in the lonely wild, by and by found that some other fellow white man had settled not far distant, ant so he watched the curling smoke from the distant hut beautifully curling upward far ,Into the etherial heavens, he made his way towards him, and finding him to be a brother, speaking the same language, he cordially extended to him the horny hand of fellowship. It wits trite, every American stood up for hie individuality with as much stern severity as if he were surrounded with a wall of tire; yet, granting him this, he was always ready to extend the kindest and moat social civilities to his fel lows, Judge Lynch, and the necessity for his official jurisdiction in now countries, hers came In fur the speaker's comments. knew the Judge had been made the subject of ex travagant caricature yet he wad happy to bear his testimony that there were times and emergencies in which he became a most valuable officer of society, al. biding, of course, to countries that are but imperfectly organited. Another peculiarity of the American people dwelt upon by the speaker 'was, that everything they did must be done In a certain, fixed, regular form; and, ac cordingly, nothing could be done in any social capacity— not even get up a Doreoe society, or a society to give wood to the poor—without a regular organization for the purpose—a constitution, a set of by-lame, a presi dent, and a board of managers. As to our patriotism, notwithstanding the suspicious rumors eoncerniog it, could:not be said Ina certain genial to bo at a low ebb. A nice distinction was here drawn between the ii sovereigns," and those patriots who are ever ready to serve their country in office, provided the emoluments were attached. Returning at this point to the idea with which belied started, thelecturer said that he would not willingly ignore the glory and value of a book, yet he could not Imagine or consent that the writing and printing of hooks constituted the mock no ble and Important vocation of man, by any means. To illustrate this, for example, we might read and admire the lyric beauties of Illiton'e Paradise Lost, but how horribly would ft strike us to have introduced to us, in the course of that splendid epic, tbe " letters and correspondence , ' between Adam and Eve ! Oh no ! their's had been an intercourse of a higher order; an intercourse of speech; and he would beg Ida audi ence to note the fact that writing was among the things beloogiog exclusively to the world under a curse The quill might be a very good thing, but he would nay that, many a man's fingers hod been pricked by it, and he doubted not many more would be in the future. Blake the best of it, Ink was a very dirty thing, and there were probably but few of us velum lingers had not at some time or other been soiled by it. As the shoe maker had said, " he believed In leather," no he (the lecturer) believed in speaking, because that wan his business, and he admitted that writers were entitled to the same privilege ol cracking up their own profesalon, and 'which everybody know they did without stint ! The lecturer next traced—not with a graphic pen— but with words of stirring eloquence, the habits of our good old Puritan encoders. The anatomy of the an cient meetiug-houses, too, was analysed, which ek. cited considerable merriment even among hie clerical brethren, of whom there were a large number preened, Those high, comfortless, and backless benches, which be presumed bad been made to accommodate the free use of the legs of kicking children during meeting time ; the elevated but diminutive bandbox or wine glass of n pulpit •that used to be stuck se high up in the log edifice as the reef would admit of—a habit proba bly attributable to the fact, that in those olden times the people attached an &moat angelic sacredneon to the preacher, and they had accordingly contrived to fix hie place as near the home or angels as possible. The modern habit or does reading, practised by many of oar ministera, was hero severely criticised, and a hundred other capital things uere said by the lecturers which space prevents us giving to the reader, The leolure, taken no a whole, was a floe specimen or public speaking, and coming from ono who, like the immortal Milton, with " Knowledge at one entrance quite shut was 'a remarkable production. The style of Mr blillburn's delivery is easy and grace ful, and were it not for the want of that magnetic in fluence of a opeaker's eye, which, of come, his "eight lees orbs " deprive him of, he would certainly rank among our moat effective of pulpit and lecture-board orators. /I%9I , IIIPAPERS—"THEAC MARK me EyEnir-DAY AFFAIRS OF LIFE."—The American Weekly Tfireary‘ published in this Oily, 1719, was the first "newspaper" issued In 1728 the Pcnoyltania Gazette, under the auepicee of Benjamin Franklin, appeared. This was followed by numerous others, down to the time of the estatiliihment of Tax Pesos; no one of which pub. limbed an announcement of more general import Nitta we do when we Inform the public that the beet clothing, made of the bent fabrics, in the bent Myles, by the beat cutters and artiste, under the supervision of that vete ran, John W.

PIRATES OSP THE COAST.—In the early history of our country we frequently read of pirates infesting our seaboard. There was Captain Kidd, " Black Beard," and others. Ono "Lowe," in 1724, com manded a pirate ship, which he facetiously called the "Merry Christmas "--a merry Christmas, truly, to those who had the misfortune to fall In with her. Speaking of Christmas reminds us that the best way to make it a merry one Is, to purchase a suit of the elegant and seasonable clothes from the palatial store of Gran • villa Stokes, No. 607 Chestnut street, who Is gelling at reduced rates to suit the times.
