in-a • carehilly-writien article, which, with
Much force and vigor of independence, pieties

is We it ale* to believe that the division of the.
party-in Illinois was suggested by members of the

dissever.no -appreciable good which Ilan result to

War-to the krilfai- may be a pleasant, pastime for
those who do, notAmmediately feel ite keen

.prone to en
list others -in. the ,contest, until a whole Party .
may become. engaged in such, Immolating strife.
We regret to find, prominent in the sohismatio ac
tion of the late sceoafled Illinois State Convention,
the names of several officers connected with the.
Post Moe and Treasury Departments at Washing-.
ton. If their conduct has the approval of the
heads of Departments, or If their subordinates do
not receive a prompt and severe- rebuke, then we
"shall begin-to think that thereto dome force in the
ruinorthat the.Ellinote schism luta been Instigated
by the,l'ostmaster General and:the Beeretary of
the Treasury, who are supposed to ba now engaged
in hawing a party of their own in the Union, for

their own personal interest."

in the attempt would desist from the palpable

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. It to a combination of the pen
dulum and reactionary prineiples, by which a oar
of enormoue weight may be propelled with the aid
of two boys—thus saving the vast cost of par
°basing horses, feed, the hire of stables, the wear
and tear of the read, &o. We believe it will be
an entire stamen ; and if so, it will work a won
derful revolution. The model may be seen at the
Woo og pus Plum.

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.

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

There was a Sunday-sohool excursion from

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

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

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.
This work accomplished, the lady quietly returned

his great knowledge of the law tells him are fallacious,
is only equalled by the clearness of his decisions when

Yesterday an application was made, on the part of
citizens doing business in Market street, from Fit
ton% to Seventeenth, to restrain the West Phlladel
phis Railroad Company from laying a track along the
street, between the streets named, as the company are
digging within four feet from the curb atone.
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

Permit me through your paper to suggest to
those who would tax one portion of the commu
nity for the benefit of another, that there is a
bettor way. Equalize the currency by taking
away from corporations the privilege of manufac
turing it "ad laieum," and there will be no need
of a tariff. Give no a fair chance and we fear not
the, competition of the world. But let fifteen
hundred corporations have the power to increase
or depress the representative value of the dollar
as it suits their convenience, by the

concerning the condition of the streets. lam a
resident of the upper part of the city, and am
very sorry to say that I have not soon any street
cleaners in that part of the city for at least two
months. In a great many places, large piles of
filth have boon allowed to aceumniate, from which
a very bad odor is emitted. Is that not enough to
breed sickness? Why does not the Commissioner

from the 2 35 nag in a skeleton trotting-wagon,
to the 10.50 Regnante in a dilapidated clam-oart,
as the sun reached its meridian, made its way to
Chestnut 11111 The attraction was the Fair—the
greater.attraction the " trial of speed" between
those conquerors of the turf, " Lancet" and " Flo
ra Temple." 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. Time : 2.29-2.311-2.35 (or 2.40, as some

.4 New Church at German(Olon,—We learn
that the Methodist Episcopal congregation, wor
shipping in the Haines-Street Ohhurah, are about
to tear down the old structure, which has so long
served as their house of worship, to make way for
a new, handsome, and larger edifice, to meet the
increased demands of the congregation. 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. Church, familiarly
known as " the Old Brick," presented a beautiful
scene on Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the
thirty-seventh anniversary of the Sabbath schools
connected with it. The lower floor was occupied
by about seven hundred ahildren, belonging to
the two schools. The exercises consisted of sing
ing, and reading the Scriptures by the children,
and an address by Rev. A. Cookman. The report
of the school, and a short hiitory of the same—a
very laresting document—were read by the
se
oretary7Afr. Joseph N. Tees. The deprotment of
the children was most commendable. The occa
sion will not be soon forgotten by those who had
the pleasure of being present.

Nipped in the Bud.—About nine o'clock
on Tuesday night, a party of bullies assembled on
the river -road, between the Market-street and the
Wire Bridge, in the Twenty-fourth ward, for the
purpose of indulging in brutal pugilism. Officers
Warren, Lister, and Hoskins acme upon the
ground and spoiled the fun of the party by driv

Quick Parsage.—The clipper barque Dennis
Kelly, Captain Corson, arrived at the quarantine
station, nt New Orleans. on Tuesday, the Bth inst.,
from Rio de Janeiro. So made the run from Rio

in the quickest passage ever made between the two
ports. 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

LETTER FROM NEW YORR.
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?" Se
veral bellies exhumed lately in Potter's Field are
fourid to be changed into a sort of- White wax or
etearine, forming the substance known In obernis-
try as adtpoccre. 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

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
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. •
