TheTretident, Mr. Wharton, naked the indul , ence of
the Chamber to add a few words to what has been so
well mild by other members During the space of little
more than a year a second familiar fee bad been taken
away by death from tide .hall. Perhaps on none could
words of mese 'for the' proper performance of public
duty, bo more worthily bestowed than on the late Mr.
Ashton. I became acquaihted with him when - I was
elected a member of the Select Council, and I was won
impressed with a conviction of his ability and integrity.
While I have bad the honor of presiding here nearly
two years, I 'recollect but two or three occasions on
which our late fellow.member was absent from his
place, and on one' of these OCCARIOII6 he was detained
at home by sickness: Be was even ethic poet then, an
active And able Menther of this' Council: He was de
cliod in the formation of his opinions, and equally de
cided and manly:in his expression of them—it the same
time, he wee tolerant of the opinions of others, and con
aidetate in theaounilition of his own.' To lose an An
tve, indistalorm, aid faithful public servant, was at all
times alone: but Mr. - Ashton was an upright and honest
men And at , the present time, the lose of such a one
niust be sensibly Tell. -I feel quite'sure that every
member of the Chamber will join with hearty sympathy
in the;expiession of regret at,lifr. Aghton , a death; and
in the estimate whichl3as been formed of his virtuee.-

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. Communicating this implement fact to the
other members of the party, both the other ladies din•
covered that they also had =Meted in the name manner.
The gentleman fortunately moped. On making search
about the concert room, two of the pocket-books which
had been taken woe found on the floor, rifled of their
content's
The party returned home fully convinced that, al
though they had visited an asylum for the blind, they
had never before en emphatically needed to keep their
eyes wide open. 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.
Two men were serrated yesterday, and taken before
Alderman linen, on the charge of passing two of the
new counterfeit notes of the Philadelphia Bank. The
accused gave the names of Mallon B. Venderbelt and'
John Hartwell. They attempted to pass one of the
noted on a grocer at kleventh and Lombard streets, and
_while there It leaked out that a neighboring dry goods
dealer had been victimized by the same party. The
offenders were held for a rurther hearing Malay, at ono
o'clock. Thom who here had the counterfeit passed
upon them should be present.
Last evening, before Alderman Ilnen, Patrick Mc-
Crystal was held to answer the charge of committing an
unprovoked and aggrasated'a-Mann and battery on John
Kilroy, at Sixth and Chestnut streets;
Finite& of Colonel E 111. 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.

THE MONEY MARKET.
PIitLADF&LTHIA, 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

REY, W. 11. MILLDVEN'S LECTURE OH WEDNES
DAY Evesm.--At an early hour on Wednesday eve•
Tilts, the Trinity AL E. 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.

published in this Oily, 1719, was the first "newspaper"

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 •
