Freeman, stiottomier j holds a sale of cottage lots tide afternoon, in tiormantown. 806 81AVOr• *pinto yugar iniotton head, THE LEVIATHAN," AGAIN Yesterday we were in some doubt as to the intended rate of payment, as passage money, by the Leviathan, between England and this country. We are. now enabled to state that the prices will be $105., $6O, and $3O, for itrst,, second - and third class, reimeetively ; the groat steamer will travel between Liverpool or Holy-. head, on the English aide, acid Portland, Maine, on this; the expectation is that she will per form seven or eight double voyages each year, that each voyage will yield $88,500 net profit; that there will be an average of 2,100 passen gers each way; and that each trip, from port to port, will be performed in seven days. The fares may be compared with those by the Cunard or, the Vanderbilt lines.. By the Canard the prices are $l3O chief-cabin, and $75 second cabin from New York to Liver pool; $llO and $6O from Boston. By the Vanderbilt steamer the prices are $lOO first cabin, and $6O second cabin ; by the North Star, Northern Light, and ../frief the prices are $BO first cabin; $5O second cabin, and $35 third cabin. The great inducement will be the saving of time, which travellers would willingly pay even an increased amount to effect. Owing to the difficult access into Liver pool, front the annual variations is the ohm nel of the river Hersey, which have often been found dangerous as well as annoying, it is very likely that the Leviathan will run from, Holyhead in preference. It is en the Irish Sea, and the improvements which have been in progress for many years, now nearly completed, will make it one of the finest harbors in England—though, gee- iraPhioally speaking, it belongs to Wales, the little island "on which it is situated being connected with the island of Anglesea by a long causeway. Anima is itself joined to the mainland of North Wales by the famous Britannia tubular bridge, the great engineer ing chef &owe of ROBERT STEPHENSON, son of the Father of Railwayism., Holyhead is connected with London and Liverpool by rail ways, and the length and expense of transit to London are not much greater than from Liverpool. .Another recommendation is that Holyhead is the great mail-packet station between England and Ireland, the steamers running twice a -day, and averaging fopr to five hours on each voyage. There is tele graphic communication between Holyhead and Ireland, by sub-marine cable, to Howth, close to Dublin. For many reasons, there fare, Holyhead would be by far the most eligi ble port for the Leviathan. This vast vessel will require a greater depth of water than she can have either at Boston or New York. In the bay of Port land the required depth exists, with the addi tional advantage of being the nearest Ameri can port to England, and of possessing means of ready and rapid communication with the United States generally, and the principal cities of British North America. The two great points upon which doubt may continue to exist are the passenger and the freight traffic. As many as three hun dred cabin passengers have gone to Europe in a single steamer, from this country ; and as many as two hundred and fifty is by no means an unusual number in the travel-season. But these large amounts are to bo expected only in a part of each year. We really do not think that, even in the flush of the season, as many as twenty-one hundred persons per voy age can be looked for. With respect to freight, it seems as if the sanguine expecta tions of the out-of-pocket directors and share holders have even less prospect of being ful filled. One thing we may anticipate; and that is increased intercourse between the Old World and the New. To reduce the voyage from twelve to seven, or even eight days, is like bridging the Atlantic. PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENTS. Mr. George Hood had what really was a benefit, at the Arch-street Theatre, last night. The home PM thronged, and the performance went off ex tremely well. Mr. James Dunn takes his benefit, at the same theatre, to-night. As will be soon, be has a very attractive bill, including " Columbus," a couple of lively fames, and, what really is a treat, orchestral performances under the capital leader ship of Mr. Charles Dodworth, one of our most popular and deserving musicians and composers. earneittivrarL-Julf.ia.. -,4,,tio‘s- toe :41. - ,;,;irertast-ingbt to go there a *wend time this evening. Mr. Dunn is a vary agreeable vocalist, and the public like him. We should not openly say this, for. it might make him vain, and, as Mr. Bagnet says, "Discipline must be main tained." But we say so to our readers very confidentially. At times, we have had reason to think him not very much of an actor, —yet, when we reflect bow well he used to .play Captain John Smith, in the pathetic bur lesque of " Po-oa-hon-tas," we know not what to say. We remember with what spirit and success every one, including this self-samo Mr. Dunn, played at the National Theatre, on that winter night in November, 1858, tate/What harum-sca rum, neck-sr-nothing run of John Brougham and his company from New York. What a splendid house there was that night, and with what fun and evident enjoyment did audience and actors enter into the frolio spirit of Brougham's great extravagania. There, as Captain John Smith, did Mr. Dunn deserve and obtain a large share of applause. We go in for his liiving a good benefit this evening. The kind public must not mind a man's having, on one occasion, forgotten some of the words of his part. Let them go to the Arch street this evening, filling the house, so as to leave pleasant recollections of this pity on his mind. To insure Mr. Dunn'e singing and acting well this evening, let him have substantial reasons, which will give his porte.monnalo a plethoric bulk. Do it. Mn. Bowers will have a complimentary benefit at Walnut•street Theatre, to-morrow evening, and it is to be hoped that friends and the public will take care of her interests. She deserves a memorial of this kind, and must not be forgotten. The admirable comedy, "A Bold Stroke for a Husband," in which, of course, Mrs. Bowers will sustain the part of the spirited heroine, will be the principal attraction on this occasion—we had almost written the only attraction—for an not of the eternal " Daughter of the Regiment." with which the eyenhsg's performances are to conclude, cannot count for much. Weakened as her pro• gramme is by this injudicious •operatic selection, instead of a "screaming farce," Mrs. Bowers' popularity will certainly compensate for the mis take, and insure her the gratification of a crowded theatre. To the Editor of The Press Stn—Elaborate as is your report of the meeting held last evening in reference to Proteotion for' American interests, as great as aro the reasons as signed,expensive as were the views taken by the va tied speakers, there yet rentainoth a point not ad verted to, but which involves the subject-matter of the whole. What beneficial results would flow from resorting to an exploded system? Common inter ests are anent stake. Party, however diversi • tied, has not to do with the question. It is, simply, monopoly or not ; all other considerations are mi nor. Restriction or non-restriction is the point. Sir, for free trade the late lamented Sir Robert Peel eaorifieed popularity for his country's good, yet to himself took no oredlt. In the House of Commons hie memorable words were, "I am per suaded that to the honorable member, Riehard Cobden, your thanks, not mine, are due, for the change I now give my concurrence to on the groat question of free trade." In the lobby of the said House, what wore the words of Richard Bright the following evening?—" I envied the feelings of Sir Robert Peel on bin return home, after snob a frank, open-hearted, generous admission." Sir, on the other side of the water this groat country is regarded as free by those who are right minded. Of it there is no lack of calumniators. Is the day come when our efforts shall be re sponded to, by which its great oharaoteristic will bo forfeited? Good, and not evil, resulted from the adoption of ti, principle in England. It was, and is, fraught with all beneficial results. The article of life, bread, has been within the reach of the poor. All that was feared has vanished. Tho "Manchester school" triumphed. Their advocacy was of long duration, but "right conquered might." No Englishman regrets the adoption - of free trade. Will America hazard its distinctive ness, as a nation, by putting a veto against the cause of truth, humanity, and justice? What England has suffered for adherence to dogmas ap- pertaining to the " dark ages" ought to have its weight on this free and enlightened people. Apologising for this intrusion on your space, I am, sir, yours respectfully, JAMBS WALL. LOMBARD Sr., Wednesday. IMPORTANT INVISNTION.—Our well-known fellow. citizen, Mr. P. B. Devlin, whose mechanical genius has been so frequently displayed to the advantage of his country, has exhibited to us a beautiful model illustrating hie new plan for the purpose of dispensing with horse-power for pas imager railroads.

Mr. Mason said that he bad refrained (rem de bating these resolutions, notwithstanding. their important character. On his motion the vote was taken, and they were unanimously adopted, and Mr. Mason asked that this fact be entered on the journal. The resolutions are as follows : Revotved, (as the judgment of the Senate) That American vessels on. the high seas, in time of peace, bearing the American flag, remain under the jurisdiction of the country - to which they be long, and therefore any visitation, molestation, or detention of suoh'vessela by force, or by the exhibition of force, on the part of a foreign Power, is in derogation of the sovereignty of the United States. Resolved, That the recent and repeated viola tions of this immunity committed by vessels-of war belonging to the navy of Great Britain in the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent seas, by firing into, interrupting, and otherwise forcibly detaining them on their voyage, requires, in thejudgment of the Senate, such unequivocal and final disposition of the subject by the Governments of Great Britain and the United States, touching the rights involved, as shall satisfy the Jost demands of this Govern ment, and preclude hereafter the occurrence of like aggressions. Resolved, That the Senate fully approve the notion of the Executive in sending a naval fares into the infested seas, with orders to protect all vessels of the United States on the high seas from search or detention by vessels-of-war of any other nation." And it is the opinion of the Senatd that if it become necessary, such additional legislation should be supplied in aid of the executive power as will make such protection offeCtual.

CHARLESTON, June 16.—The Charleston Cou rier's Hey West correspondent says that Lieu tenant Pyno =arta that the reports of the out rages on American vessels have been much exag gerated, and, In many instances, false. The account of the seizure of the ship Cortez was an instance of the grossest exaggeration.

The Toledo Railroad. The Steamship Europa Fatal Prize Fight In England [Gravesend (May 27) correenndence of London Tele. grapli.) This town has been scimewhat•painfully excited by the fatal resultt attending one of those low, ruffianly,. - encounters commonly desig nated prize fights.'-The partioulare connected with the disgraceful affair are as follows : It having _been arranged that a fight should take place _between '" Johnny Walker" and " Bob Travers, the Black," two men well known 'as 'pugilists, for .£lOO, yesterday was fixed'as the day, and, consequently, at an early hour in the morn ing a considerable portion of the low bhuilrgnard ism of London repaired to the Penchureh-street station to proceed to &oneness, situated in the marshes, opposite Queenhithe, the plaice selected as the scene of operations. The fight, however, much to the disappointment of thn majority of those present, did not "come off," 'Walker not feeling disposed to meet his colored antagonist, who, therefore, claimed the stakes. The people, determining not to be deprived of the pleasure of seeing two human beings descend to the level of the brute emotion, urged upon two other persons to fight. Their wishes were satisfied, and the two men (Sullivan and Haley) fought for a lengthened, period. At the termination of the encounter, two other individuals, said to be per sonar friends, commenced hostilities. One was James Morris, well known by the sobriquet of " The Brighton Pet," and the other was named Philip Redwood, a young man about twenty-six years of ago, who resided in Old Pie street, West minster- The fight had lasted about an hour, when Redwood fell to the ground, and was pioked up by the seconders. Ho was unconscious, and his friends, finding it impossible to restore animation, conveyed him from She field to the banks of the river. He was there placed in a boat, and brought over to this side of the river, and put from the boat on to the pier, when some of the parties who had some ever in the boat endeavored to restore consciousness by the administration of hot brandy and water. This did not have the desired effect, ' and the unfortunate young man woe placed in a cab, and taken to 'the Infirmary hero, where ho was seen by Mr. Plight, the house-surgeon, and other medical gentlemen who happened to be in the institution at the time. lie still breathed, but notwithstandingeverything possible was done, he expired about seven o'clock last evening, three quarters of an hour after his admission. Shortly after his death two young men, named Thomas Oakey and James Donovan, called at the Infirmary to inquire how their unfortunate com panion was progressing. They were taken into custody as being participators In the fight. They admitted they wore friends of the deceased. but re fused to give any information as to how his death was ooeasioned, who his opponent. was, or where ' he had gone. The pollee, 'however, succeeded in ascertaining that the fellow who had caused Red wood's death was the person above named, and that be had fled to London immediately after the conflict had been brought to an abrupt termina tion. Mr. Superintendent White at once despatoh ed came officers to the metropolis, but np to this evening no information of Morris's capture had been received hero. He is, however, so well known, that his apprehension within a very brief period is considered certain. - Up to this ottomans the identity of the deceased had not been satisfactorily established; but about four o'clock an elderly woman, named Margaret Wilson, who described herself as mother-in-law of the deceased, presented herself at. the pollee sta tion and requested permission to see the body. Of course her wish was complied with, and she then gave the pollee all the information they required. She was much shocked at the appearanoe of the body, which was frightfully mutilated about the head and nook. She stated that the deceased was a married man, and had left a widow and two young children totally unprovided for. This evening Mr. Plight, at the request of Mr. Helder, the coroner, made a post-morrem exami nation of the body. He found death to have re sulted from apoplexy, caused by the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain, resulting from the blows received during the fight. The deceased, as de scribed by Mr. Flight, was a rather slim' built man, evidently not a fit person to engage in a pu gilistic encounter, and was altogether out of con dition. _ _ Oakey and Donovan remain ineustody, and will be brought before the magistrates at their next sitting; and, it is said, so determined are the au thorities to put a stop to suoh disgraceful transac tions for the future, that all the persons known to have been present at the fight will be summoned before the magistrates. A rumor was current this evening that Daley, ono of the men engaged in the first fight, had also expired from the injuries he received. Shocking Tragedy In /ones 9 a Woods. (Prom the New York Poet of Testordey..l Officer Weith, of the Seventeenth ward, was assaulted by a ruffian yesterday afternoon, and so seriously wounded that it he thought be cannot re cover. There was a Sunday-sohool excursion from tho Seventeenth ward in the afternoon, number ing some eight hundred children, with many friends. They proceeded to the Jones's Woods garden, and at tho request of the trustees, Cap tain Marti, with four officers, accompanied the excursion. Everything passed off pleasantly until a little after five o'clock. At this time a number of the children were amusing themselves with a swing, and a ruffian, named John Sullivan, partially in toxicated, interfered with them. He was sev oral times told to leave, but disregarded the order, and the officers finally interfered to drive him off. He became furious, cursed, and threatened any one who should lay hands upon him. The police, of course, insisted upon his leaving, and were taking him away, when be suddenly ran a few stops, picked up a stone and hurled it with great violenee, striking °Meer Weith Immediately be hind the left ear, infileting a frightful gash, and fracturing the skull.

They said it was impossible to obtain justice in New York, and they would take the law in their own hands and hang the rascal upon the spot. There was intense •excitement, and Captain llartt and his men had to exert all their strength to prevent the crowd from applying Lynch law at once, They finally got him off to the station-house, however, and he is held to await the action of the coroner.

JEANEOVILLE, LIITZERNE CO., PA., Tune 10, 1850. The minors at Jeanoeville, York Town, and Au denreid collerios, are all out on strike. The mon at the two last colleries were perfectly willing to continue working, but a gang of radians, number ing some 200, came fromjeanesville to York Town, and threatened the men with death if they con tinued working. A miscreant by the name of Turbot), a man of notorious bad character, has been making inflammatory speeches, and foment , leg the evil feeling amongst them. This is the more to be depreoated,as most of the mon have but little, if anything, laid up. The present state of the coal trade is ouch, that it is impossible for the operator to pay high wages. 'He - had bottor cease mining than to do it at a loss. It is evident that the miners in this region have had some very bad advisers, who, under the guise of friendship, are doing them an incalculable injury. Large bodies of idle men are wandering about the woods, while their wives and families at home cannot got enough to eat. I made a calculation, based upon the books of one of the collieries, (Yorktown,) and found that ono miner cleared eleven dollars per wook, and two others eight dol lars and fifty cents per week each. In most every case I find that whore a man works every day, and possesses only moderate skill, that he can make from eight to twelve dollars per week, after deducting all expenses for powder, oils, ho. Que ry: how many thousands of mechanics in the city do as well? The men at the breakers earn from 80 cents to ono dollar per day. Laborers inside got one dollar; in some cases more. This, I think, will be found to be a fair average, as I have made special inquiries at the other collieries. Last Friday afternoon three gentlemen, who move in the first 'Andes, and who are among the wealthy people of thp neighborhoods in which they reside, were enjoying themselves over a social glass, in a liquor shop or saloon in Edgeworth, Connecticut, when they wore not only "surprised" but completely dumbfounded by the sudden and unexpected entrance of the wife of one of the party. The lady was armed with a pistol and heavy club, and immediately, in an authoritative end deter mined inanner,•bautloned ouch one present not to molest or interfere with her in any of her move ments, and, in loss time than is occupied in writing the story, she used her club with so much skill as to demolish all the " implements of the traffic," and set nearly all the liquors running to waste.

Judge Cad. waterier, in an able and most lucid charge...gave a searching analysis of the evidence, and elaborated the law of the case, so that the jury had the clearest con. caption of what their dunes were to be In forming a verdict. Although so abort a period on the bench, Judge Clad walader has acquired, quite the judicial manner; and the patience with which he listens to arguments which his great knowledge of the law tells him are fallacious, is only equalled by the clearness of his decisions when he comes to pronounce upon disputed points. After hie charge In this case, which (without any apparent effort at being emphatic) has seldom been equalled for clear ness, the Jury retired, and in a short time returned with a verdict of not guilty on, the first count of the Indictment, which charges the counterfeiting, and guilty as to the second count, which allergen passing.

The complainants alleged In the bill that the track would obstruct the street, and interfere with their right to the use of the highway for the proseoution of their business, and further private convenience. The argument for the injunction was made by Mr. Culler; for the company, by M. Sheppard. The Injunction was granted ; Judge Thompson saying, in his opinion, that the railroad company had no right to so obstruct the street as to prevent the citizens residing upon it from the use of it for coal and wood, and for a carriage stand for a few minutes. The act of incorporation gives the company the right to use the Philadelphia Railroad along Market atreet, to make the connection with their own track, which they moat do until the market abed' are removed.

A more motley crowd was never be fore assembled together within the staid preoinots of our rich and growing county. All it wanted was the living pencil of a Rosa Bonhour to depict a "Horse Fair" in its true colors. The trot, or rather the trial between the two champions. was nothing more than a chase. It was no trot at all. Lancet made some of his friends bleed very freely. Flora won the purse with ease in three straight beats.

The work, we understand, will be commenced at once—the contract having been allotted to Mr: Binder, the builder of the beautifully -proportioned Lutheran ',hutch, at the coiner of Queen streeland German town avenue. The dimensions of the new struc ture will be 65 by 80 feet, the elevation being suf ficient to admit of a commodious gallery. The contract price is about $12,000, and the church Is to be ready for worship by the first of January next. Pull one-half the sum required is already raised and ready to be applied. The Deeds and Records of . the City.—We have boon requested to call public attention to a matter which we consider of groat Importance at the present time. The office of the Recorder of Deeds, however careful the officers. is wholly un suited for the purposes to which it is applied. It is neither fire-proof nor convenient, and the deeds and other valuable records havo aceumulated, rapidix within a few years that many of tho older ones are plied away in the cellar, where they have become damp and mouldy, and are gradually perishing. We think that the Bank of Pennsyl vania building, in Chestnut street, is admirably suited, in many respects, as a safe depository for deeds and records, and we think it would bo well for the City Councils to direct their attention to the subject. The a Dog Pound."—We ma to a brief visit yesterday to the celebrated retreat for captured canines, in Buttonwood street, above 'Thirteenth. The vagabond cure, numbering between thirty and forty, were all housed- together, and by the peculiarity of their noise .we had an idea that they wore cognisant of their approaching doom. Captain Jim Brands, " the groat and fearless," was not present during our stay, but we learned from others that any of those dogs will bo restored to their owners upon the payment of two dollars, or after forty-eight hours sold to all persons wish ing to purchase. Beyond this time there is no hope for the ours, who at once become the victim of the executioner. The Kensington M. E.

The veimel was built by James House, of this pity, and is of superior make. The Change at Girard College.—Wo noticed, a day or two since, the resignation of Miss Mary H. Turner as the principal lady teacher at Girard College. We take groat pleasure in announcing that Miss Mary A. Lynch has been unanimonsly soleoted to fill the vacant position. This is a most excellent choice, and ono which we know could not be more worthily bestowed. Robbery in the Fourteenth Ward.—Tho ladies' shoe store, No. 1015 Buttonwood street, woe entered and robbed some time during Tuesday night The look was pryed off the bulk, and all the stock was stolen from the show window. Bob !miles are not unfrequent now in several of the upper wards of the city. Sudden Death.—An elderly gentleman, named Philip Scholl, aged over sixty years, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning, at his residence, in Cumberland street, east of the Frank• ford road, Nineteenth ward. Coroner Fenner held an inquest, and a verdict of death krom natural causes was rendered. Dull.—Local items were decidedly scarce yesterday, an announcement that we feel con strained to make, after a visit to nearly every ward of the city. The streets were comparatively dull looking, while the female pedestrians who figured on the principal promenades woo few and far between: . Pickpocket! in Afal:ket.—Lioutenant White arrested, yesterday moral% a Iranian in the set of picking the pocket of a lady ih Spring Garden street market. She was locked up. Two lade were also arrested on the same charge, and com mitted to answer. Special Meeting.—A special meeting of the Controllers of public Schools will be held at the Controllers' chamber, Atheniuum Building, south east corner of Sixth and Adolphi streets, this morn ing at ten o'clock. Match Game of Town Ball.—A match of this yory interesting game; will take place this afternoon, at Camden, N.

Correspondence of The Prem.] NEW YORK, June IA 1858 Sol sliows his fiery face to-day, dashing clouds to right and left; and the great-coats of yesterday are shelved, I trust, for the mid-summer season at least. Last night the visiting members (anti-Lo compton) of Congress entertained us with pre figurative 'speeches, on invitation of the Young Men's Republican Committee. Hon. Mr. Grow, of your State, was present, and made quite a lengthy and forcible address. The'• People's movement" (so called) seems to be gaining ground in this city; there are almost nightly meetings (sub rasa, as yet,) in various parts of the oity. Alto gether, from present indications, the fall political campaign is to be a lively contest, and may turn out a scrub race. That eoeintric genius, Isaic C. Pray, (whilom of the Herald, and formerly a London Lotter-writer, and editor of an American London magazine,) is about, we hear, to astonish Gotham with a revival of the pure "Greek drama." He has taken a Broadway place of amusement, and 'threatens to produce the Electra" in lonian simplioity. The establishment, I believe, is to be called " T/ts Temple of the Pure Drama." Whether "the author" will be called for, as was the cm when " Antigone" was produced in Dublin, deponent cannot aver. - A singular political fact is noticeable at present in New York; that several important and respon• siblo offices are hold by men who were formerly policy-dealers, which may account for the singular tardiness of justice in keeping up the lottery traffic, spite of onr mayor's crusade. Another item, glean ed yesterday from the Committee on Municipal Corruption, is locally interesting; that defalca tions and swindles, to the amount of $15,000,000, are to be discoverable in the transactions of three departments during the last six years. The loss is divided between tax'payeri end speculating eon traetoni, who have oolleagued with corrupt !Ail eillift; Before another meeting of the Legislature, a at/idling report Is Who made by the Committee of Councils. To what " base toms may we cone at last?"

Who knows but - some Yanked speculator may,turn the discovery to profitable expdriment? Robert Rait Is Co'e jewelry store, in Broadway, was burglariously entered this morning. The thief was caught and sent to the Tombs. Ile is a German. The Cancemi trial was continued to-day, but nothing positive elicited pro or con. Three mur der trials are now progressing. Much excitement is caused by the assault of a ruffian upon a policeman, last evening, and a subsequent attempt by the populace to lynch the assailant. The officer now lies, it is said, 'at the point of death. The affair occurred at a Sabbath school picnic, at Jones'Wooda. A now swindle was presented tit Abe MayoOs office to-day, in the shape of a monthly'pablica , Lion, purporting to be the "New York Journal," edited by Dr. Bland, professing to teach '" how to roast meat without fire; how to make a fowl roast itself; bow to make hens lay eggs as big as a man's head; how to court a Womb, Gernian, Spanish, or American woman, or a rad-haired ITO: man, quadroon, or Qinikeress; hoW to make one dollar pass for two ; how to abstract ex-Soleil frcim diellings without being seen." with many other useful and ornamental items of knowledge. The mayor holds the case under consideratiOn. To-day's business in stocks and funds is not oharaoterieedly any marked movement, though higher rates for money are indicated. Sub-Trea sury receipts ($53,000 from Customs, and $1,200,- 000 from treasury-notes, included) amount - $1,303,099.44. Payments (including $20,000 Cali fornia drafts)'s33l,439.BB. Balance $6,625,702.64. A large sale of stock took place to-day by Simeon Diaper and Adrian Muller. At the first board. Reading, Harlem, and Virginia and Missouri Cs advanced one-quarter per cant., and Reading sub sequently fell the same figure. Business gene rally was variable and unreliable, At the Corn Exchange speculation is still rife. It may be well to Suggest that the recent advanoes,lo Vreitilatufis are based almost entirely onapeculativeciperaiions. The freshets, storms, eto., at the West, have caused large orders to be sent eastward, from the lake and other cities, in view of a sudded de mand, and the result has been, thus far, that be tween 80,000 and 100,000 barrels of flour, and at least 50,000 bushels wheat, have been bought up, causing a rise of 25 cents per barrel, and 5 cents per bushel. The movement is based, you may be , sure, upon anything, but strictly sound calcula tion, though it may have the effect of more than temporary inflation. The exobanges at the bank Clearing House to day were $17,925,403.40, and the balances $1,097,- 773.41. The Metropolitan certificates remain at $40,000.

THE itioNgy PUILAMBLPHIA, Wednesday, June 16,1858. There is no more important financial considera tion, for business men in general, than that which arises from the question whether the means which we have in our large Cities for the suppression of conflagrations aro es adequate, in proportion to the need, as they were a few years back. With the immense of trade and commerce, our buildings have grown immensely. and the height and depth of the stores in which it is now partly the fashion, and partly a necessity, to transact business, aro hardly to be compared with the old buildings which constituted the first-class stores of the Flee generation. The' number of our fire-en gines his inereased very much, but their eapuity had not been increased to any extent until the introduction of the steam fire-engines,- and it is questionable whether even these can throw Sal oiently great quantitley'of water to the distance and height that may be required. We have no doubt that each year will witness considerable improvement in these machines, and that ultimately they will be brought to a perfec tion that will meet the requirements of the com munity, but we think that a united effort on the part of those most interested, to offer such pre miums as would quicken the inventive talent of our people, and hasten the improvement of these engines, would be very useful. The monthly lose of from a quartor:to half a million of dollars to the capital of the country by disastrous fires in our large cities, is a very serious item, and it be hooves us by all means to bring it to an end as soon as possible. • The stock market remains inactive, but prices are well maintained. The position or the market is such that a very limited speculative demand would produce a general rise In the prices of all descriptions of stocks. Oar latest advises from Europe give us the gratifying assurance that every reparation will be made by the English Government for the outrages perpetrated by British officials on oar shipping In Cuban waters. The official acceptances of the proposals for the four million treasury note loan were received by the bid ders fromthis city this morning. The balance of the loan, which. Is - awarded at a% fir cent , Is divided in the proportion of •,tillt of the aggregate amount of the -proposal. The, depoelts at the sub-treasury on the account are about $2,000,000 thus far. We learn that Ocvenoor Richardson, of Nebraska, has requested the district attorney to - proceed opting certain ff banks» profoundly doing business in that Territory, We do not believe that any banks cart be legally created by a Territorial Legislature, the act of Congress expressly prohibiting Each a Creatien ; and we therefore caution our readers against all infititationa in each and ell of the Territories. • 31.
