:l3'4 the llonse of Commons, on

had` regelved no Intelligence
whatever from Lord. NAPIER, on a subject
which had 'nearly involved England and the

, Cass had, sent a formal rstatement; complaint,
and remonstrance to the British. GOvernment
through Lord litirran, then accredited Envoy
to Washington.' Eifi Lordship evidently
considered it °roma importance, for he wrote
to the British Admiral at Bermuda upon it.
But be seems not to htive thought it worth

Stetter, - Jr., - charged with mannfacturing and
uttering bogus coin, were also put-off until _the

Singularly enough, a large proportion rif the
gentlemen in attendance as Jurors approved the
Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan, and thought it in
oumbent upon themselves to make a demonstration
upon flovornor Packer, to show him the strength
of the President in Pennsylvania. A council of

going in one overwhelming body, or in little de
tachments of half a dozen. The latter mode was
adopted, and numerous were. the calls and many
the arguments presented to our excellent Governor
to induce him to abandon the old exploded doc

convinced of the error of his way, although ft was

A letter from Parts says, apropos of the die
olaimer.of the Monitour, in regard to the inorease
of the French fleet and army :
" It Is notorious that the Mediterranean sq uad
ron has recently been augmented from eight to
fourteen vessels ; that 40,000 extra recruits were
sailed out this spring; and that immense arma
ments, far beyond what the defences of the coun
try require, are going on not only at Clerbour g,
but in every military part of the empire. t ,
The Moniteur has-- - -not candidly—applied itself
to the correetlon of the report respeotin: the in•
crease of the French army, when it alleges, that
there, is no such !norm°. The lifoniteur only
says that the land and sea forces, which wore set
tled for the year by the budget of 1859, bare not
been augmented. That is not the questitn.
The London Time. Paris correspondent, on re
ferring to the French budget, dada that on excess
'of 28,303,280 franos in the war estimate were
voted for 1859, and nays :
"The fact still remains good, and the Ittaniteur
does not vouchsafe to give any explanation as it
might have done. It denies extraordinary
armaments,'' but what does it mean by 'extraor
dinary?' More that 1,000,000 sterling addition to
the Ustry-estimatei for a certain number of years
is not an ordinary demand, and I presume it will
beappliedlo the purposes,speoltled—namely, those
of the navy."
France, by exciting alarm, has virtually de
feated any bad object she may have entertained,
for a surprise is now impossible. Sir John Pa
kington has increased the Channel fleet.
In England, the Queen had made her pubts en
try into Birmingham on the .16th, amidst olvio
pomp and chat may be sailed national remieing.
some years ago the Queen, before her obsession to
the throne, stayed for a short time in tho town,
and once stopped at the railway station, but never
before paid a visit to the place.
INCREASE OF THE FRENCH ARMY AND xAvr
[From the Morning Mar, June 16 ]
We repeat, it is the stale old story of 1847 ind
1850 and 1852 over again. It le almost an exact
reproduction of that thrice-exploded fable. The
Times was then, as it is now, the chief trumpeter
of alarm. The spootel subject of apprehension
was then, as it is now, the alleged immense addi
tion to the French navy. The particular locality
which constituted e the entre of the conspiracy was
'then as it is now, the port of Cherbourg. And
yet—lto tako the ivatance of 1852—after all mea
ner of stories as to the enormous increase of
ships of war, and of fortresses at Cherbourg,
bad been repeated by the loading journal for
months, in every variety of form and version that
could alarm the public mind, that very paper was
compelled, on no loss an authority than an official
report by M. Dufauro, ono of the most eminent of
French statesmen, on the state of the French navy,
to acknowledge that all it had - been saying for so
many months was nothing but llam and fiction,
seeing—to use its own penitential language—'.that
the French navy has never boon reduced to a low
er state of efficiency."
Now, lot it be remembered, that this statement
was made after the tales about Cherbourg. and the
prodigious naval nativity of the French had been
repeated for months and months in every news
paper in the kingdom, with as mush confidence,
nay, Indeed, with muoh more confidence than the
same tales are repeated now, for all that is said
at present on the subject is but as a whisper com
pared with the frantic roar of terror that then re
sounded through the whole country. For the
credit of our common sense as people, let us hope
that we shall not be again frightened out of our
propriety by the cackling of the geese, for though
it is fabled that a goose ones saved Rome, that was
only by accident, and is by no means sufficient to
erect that most fooliehof birds into a perpetual
oracle.
The correspondent of the Times, writing on
Monday evening, says: "The plenipotentiaries
met in oonfeionce to-day. The fact, already com
municated to 7ou, of the admission of that princi
ple of the political separation of the Principali
ties, has been confirmed in an unguarded moment
of candor by the Government print, the Patrie.
But the short paragraph which announces It has,
I hear, coat the Patrze a sound rating for its in
discretion, and orders are sent round to itp compla
cent contemporaries not to copy the Patrze. do
much for the liberty of the press."
The viceroy of Egypt Lae ordered that the sya•

Special Meelink,Of Select Council.--A
oidi meeting of Select Council was he'd yesterday
,
nfterhoon tto consider the propriety of meeting
Common Council in joint convention, on Thursday
next, for the purpose of electing mob heads of do
parttnents as aro by law reqnired to be chosen nt
.the first meeting of Counsilo in the month of July.
to wit : The Chief Engineer of' the Water Depart
thenband the quinntisaioner of City Property."
A. quorum of members answered to their names,
and, after the cell for the meeting hod been road,
Mr. Cuyler offered a resolution that Select Council
meet Common Council in joint convention on
Thursday nf,ernoon, to elect the bandit of depart
ments already•referred to.
Mr. Neal inquired whether it was not necessary
for some member to move a reconsideration of the
vote upon the resolution by which the Chamber
agreed to take a recess of four weeks.
In reply, Mr. Ouyler remarked Incidentally,
that the rooess had been taken on account of the
illness of one or two of the members, who desired
a repose from the active cluVes of public life.
Mr. Common was gratified to observe the noble
stop which hod been taken by several of the mem
bers constituting . the majority of the Chamber in
calling this epochal meeting. He hoped to eeo a
motion to reoonsider made at once.
Mr. Leidy moved to emend the resolution of Mr:
Cuyler by adding all tho heads of departments.
The President deolared the amendment out of
order, Inasmuch as its substance was not embraced
in the call for the meeting, and could not ho taken
up unless by r a vote of two-thirds of the members
present.
Considerable irrelevant dismission here ensued,
during vrhieh Mr. Leidy said: "It Is fortunate
that we have a majority present." Much feeling
was evinced in the course of the debate, which
assumed a wrangling shape, and which was of no
"subtle importance whatever.
Mr. Leidy appealed from the decision of the
Chair. Ile spOke warmly, but disolaimed any
excitement.
'Went. Norman, Cuyler, and Mclntyre sustained
the 'deoision - of the President In forcible speeohes.
The yeas and nays wore called upon the appeal,
and were as follows:
• • On sustaining the del:lig - on the yeas were 4, nays
B—no quorum voting. The Democratic members
did not vote.
A call of the Chamber was then ordered, and
after some explanatory remarks, a quorum of MOM
hers answered to their names.
The yeas and nays were then again called on the
question of sustaining the decision, and were—yeas
3, mays 7—no quorum, the Democratio members
not voting
The anneal, eonsequently, was not sustained.
Mr. Neal was about speaking when a member
of Commom Connell came alongside of him. He
asked the President to instruct the messenger to
turn out the intruder, as he was endeavoring to
dictate to him what course he should pursue. The
President remarked that the gentleman referred
to was a member of Common Council. Mr. Neal,
who had been voting with the Democrats, said be
did not desire anv dictation from any of the oppo
sition members. Ho was noting alone from a sense
of duty, uninfluenced by all outside pressure. Mr.
Neal's remarks wore given in a spirit of Mimosa,
and he appealed to Mr. Common to desist from
occupying the time of the Chamber by calling re
peatedly for the ayes and nays.
The appeal from the decision of the Chair was
then withdrawn.
A motion was made to suspend the rules, which
prohibit any business from being transacted at a
special meeting, except that provided for in the
call. Not agreed to.
The question was then taken on the original re
solution, offered by Mr. Cuyler, and it was agreed
to.
The parliamentary warfare during the after
noon was quite amusing to witness, it being evi
dent that nothing practical could be accomplished.
The Chamber at 4i o'clock adjourned.
.1 'tether Grose Outrage.—Shortly before
seven o'clock, yesterday morning, as Mabeei ffor
dan;about eighteen years of age, an apprentice in
the blacksmith department of the navy yard, was
ppeceeding to his daily work. a cowardly and bru
tal attack was made upon him, at the corner of
Second and Primo streets, by a gang alleged to be
'etwineeted with the Shiffler Hose Company. They
stabbed Harden in two .planes in the groin, and
gave him two very bad blows on the head The
wounded man was conveyed to the drug store of
Dr Andrew Nebinger, at the corner of Second and
Mary streets, where every attention was paid to
him by that gentleman and Dr. need.
Harden was finally conveyed to the residence of
Mr. Thomas McDonough, his cousin, in a very
weak condition. The great fear entertained is
that erysipelas will sat in, which will prove fatal
to the injured man.
George Quin was also attacked at the same time,
and driven from the neighborhood, with several
other employees of the navy yard.
liordan le a quiet and inoffensive young man,
and was never known to take sides with a fire
company, or recognised as an adherent of any row
dy gang. No arrests were made.

The trial of the new steam tire-engine of the
Hope Hose Company, briefly referred to yesterday,
whieb took plane on Monday evening in front of
The Press office, resulted in a complete and moot
gratifying triumph. The members of this organi
sation have good reason to congratulate them
selves on the eminent success of their new engine.
The members are prompt and efficient in time of
need, and have acquired a reputation of which
any company might well be proud. We have been
assured, by a disinterested witness of this trial,
that its result was sufficient to convince the
" Hope" members that they have one of the most
superior steam fire-engines ever built in the Union.
We wish them every success in their new enter
prise.
Fire.—About half-past three o'clock yes

The Moyamensing and Shiftier Nose Companies
were both upon the ground. The former was In
service, but the latter immediately returned to
their house. They wore accompanied by a posse
of policemen. It was thought that another riot
would emu., but the policemen on duty in the
lower section of the city appeared to hare more
courage than those who deserted Lieutenant Cur
ley while he was attempting to quell the outbreak
at Eighth and Market streets.

Mayor Henry is visiting the different eta
tion•bouses of the city, with a view of ascertain
ing their 'condition.
Controllers of the Public Schools.—Tho
Board of Control hold an adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon, Mr. Reed, president, in the
chair.
A communication was received from the Third,
neaten, in reference to a contract alleged b be
made for the renting of a school-bduse at Queen
t,iu'd Sutherland streets. The sectional board state
that no contract that they know of was made, and
they decline interfering in the matter. Referred to
the Committee on Property.
A resolution fr m the Fifteenth section wee
adopted, authorizing the employment of addi
tional teachers In primary schools Nos. 2,5, and 10.
A resolution authorizing the tin son of the
vidson and Price UnolassiGed Schools in the
Twenty-fourth section, tinier the name of the Da
vidson Unclassified School, and authorising the
employment of a male principal and two nsilatants,
provided the average littesdarice will juAify the
same, and that the salary of the principal shall
not be over $OOO per annum, was adopted.
A resolution authorizing the directors of the
Seventeenth Petition to rent the basement of the
German Church, in lloward street, and establish
a primary school therein, at it rent of $250, pro.
vided the Committee on Grammar, Secondary and
Primary Schools and Property of the Sectional
Board approve of the same.
Mr. Fletcher offered a resolution that the
Board in future purchase books front the publish
ers direct.
The. mover supported his resolution in a strong
speech, alleging that hooks could be bought muoh
cheaper from the publishers than from a middle
man. The financial affairs of the city are some
what embarrassed, and it behooves the Board to
save all they can. It is well known that the ap
propriations made to the Board are not near large
enough, and if we can save the profit made by the
"middle man, " that amount could be expended
in repairing the Bebop] houses, which are in a lir
mentit ble condition.
Mr. Leech thought the resolution should go to
the Committee on Supplies, and that they be di
rected to report to the new Board.
Mr. Burtis agreed with Mr. Fletcher, and thought
we should watch over the city's interests in the
matter of economy. He would rotator the resolu
tion, and would call for the yeas :and nays when
it was put on its passage.
Mr. Jackson thought the Committee on Supplies
should be allowed to consider the resolution, and
Would take proper action. If the prices paid for
books are too high, the committee will make the
reform. -
Mt. Duffield objected to Mr. Fletcher's argu
ments, and defended the Committee on Sup-
I plies Re thought it very absurd for Mr. F. to
spring this resolution on the Board at the vary
last meeting. He had seen no such sentiments as
those expounded by Mr. F except in a scurrilous
Sunday paper, which attacked the Board and the
President.
Mr. Leech said that while a proper examination
ought to be made of the subject, he was opposed
to the pnonge of the resolution.
Mr. Duffield thought the new Board was compe•
tent to attend to its own affairs. We had no busi
ness to manestoture work for them.
Mr. Dusenberry was opposed to the resolution
on the ground that the prices paid were those
which bad boon fixed by the Board and the book
sellers, and in the next place it would put the eorn
mittee to great trouble to buy directly front the
lubliehera in Eastern cities In regard to the
charge of extravagance, it was idle. The Board
bad taken the greatest care to be coonomioal, and
the speaker throw back the charge of extrava
gance and corruption. He hoped that the matter
would be postponed, so that the new Board could
act upon it.
The debate was olosod by a motion to postpone
the consideration of the subject. The yeas and
nave wore as follows :
Yeas—Messrs. Baker, Duffield, Dusenberry,
Prismuth. Hancock, Himmolwright, Jackson
Leech, Marchment, Robbins, Triniok, Watson,
Reed, (President)-13.
Next—Messrs. Bettis, Davis, Pletcher, Hol
lingsworth, Lukens-5.
So the question was determined in the affirms
tive.
Resolutions of thanks to the president and Beare•
tory for the manner in whioh they have performed
their duty, wore unanimously adopted.
Mr. Reed expressed the pleasure it had been to
him to preside over the sessions of the Board since
his eleotion.
Tho Board then.finally adjourned.
The new Board organizes the Bret Monday in
July

The Mot at Eighth and Market Streets.—
The firemen's riot, which took place at midnight
on Monday, and which was recorded in The Pm,*
of yesterday, has been attended with the most
serious results. Young Carr, who it was erroneous•
ly reported at the Central Police Station had been
instantly kilted by being shot through the fore
head, was removed front the drug store of Mr.
Parrish to the Pennsylvania Hospital in a. hope
legs condition. We visited him last evening, and
found hie symptoms momentarily grossing worse.
The attending physicians were of opinion that ho
would be unable to survive throughout the night.
No arrests wore made during the riot—a fact which
refleotn groat discredit on the police. Lieutenant
John AleCurley, of the Sixth ward, used his utmost
endeavors to quell the fight, but those under
his command wore afraid to stand by him, and
actually took to their heels. This circumstance
was yesterday reported to the Mayor by tho lieu
tenant, who said that ho was ashamed of the men
recently plaited in his district. If the privates
had boon as courageous and determined as their
leader, the disastrous consequences of this mid
night brawl might have boon prevented. The eity
can certainly afl'ord to dinponse with the services
of " running polioemou,' as they have since been
termed. The chief engineer of the fire depart

Moyantensing Hose Companies, and the question
now asked is; will ho exercise it' )

LETTER FRO3I NEW YORK.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
• - New Yone, June 20, 1858
The •• heated term" continues with unabated,
fervor. All day the blazing arrows of more than
tropical fierceness flash and flame upon our roofs
and pavements; and at night, the atmosphere,
heavy and breezeless, home in our dwellings with
sultry oppression. At two this morning the mer
cury stood at 82 degrees; at 3 P. .M. to•day it
marked 96 deg. in Wall street.
The mortality from the distempered weather in
creases. In NeillirYork and Brooklyn fifty cases
morn of comp de saleil, the majority fatal, are re
ported by.the coroners and at hospitals.
Domestic economy is seriously incommoded
withal Tee melts faster than riches, and moats
and vegetables perish incontinently. The farm
ers tell of cattle, and the wagoners of horses drop
ping down in their tracks. Altogether, the sum
mer is becoming positive.
Nevertheless, in spite of calorie, Niblo's Theatre
was filled, principally by the fair sex, this morn
ing, on the occasion of the 104th annual commence
ment of Columbia Callego. The exercises were
conducted with spirit ; and the alumni prize of sr.o
awarded to Wyllis P. Baxter, of the senior class.
Some excitement is created by the discovery of
bodies at the Jersey City Railroad:depot, in Jersey
city—one of the coffins containing them being
marked for Philadolpilta. Traces of violonoe ware
dimoverbd 'onune of the bodies. The police are
engaged in following up the mystery.
A widow woman, named Margaret Gallagher,
laboring tuider temporary insanity, committed
suicide by hanging, this morning.
bevcral fires occurred this morning—one of a
millinery store, in Eighth avenue. Insured by the
Philadelphia Insurance Company.
A young Frenchman and a German, named re
spectively Antoine Payne& and Adam 'Claim, were
drowned this morning, while bathing off the bat
tery.
Two reports regarding the swill milk nuisance
were handed in to the Board of Health to-day--
one of them whitewashing the distillery men, and
the other rehearsing startling facts, showing the
abuses of the business. We must now await the
verdict of the public on this disgusting subject.
The stabbing ease, at Blaneard's Hotel, of which
I sent a notice, is to be settled without prosecution
on the part of Capt. Dunham,. the party assaulted.
Capt. B. is one of our most 'inspected merchants,
said , to be worth severaltinndred thousand dollars.
11c invited Mrs. Anderson to ride at the .eolicita-
tion of his own wife, and with the prior knowledge
of Anderson, who handed her to the carriage when
eh° sot out. The assault was unprovoked entire
ly; end Anderson, who is a Southerner, is reported
to have allowed his passions to involve him in
several previous oases of assault on his part. lie
is, bow ever, now at liberty, end Capt. Dunham is

THE MONEY MARKET.
PLIIDADELPHIE, Jane 29, 1858.
There was a' very fair business done to-day in
bondeitit 'about, the game prices that have been
quoted for scnisti'days past, but the transactions in
stooks Were very light, at priced tending down
ward. -
The City Treasurer is prepared to pay the in
terest upon the city debt falling due on the Ist of
July. A loan of $400,000 has been temporarily
advenced by the banks to the city, to assist the
treasurer in paying this Interest, in anticipation
of receipts from taxes. It is a little strange, that
with so easy a money - market, and so light a de
mand for money, there is not a greater percentage
of taxes paid under the law allowing a reduotion
of one per cent. per month.
Secretary Cobb gives notice that proposals for
ten million dollars of the Government loan au
thorized by the late act of Congress, will be re
ceived by the'Treaaury Department until the oth
of August. The stook will bear interest at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, payable on the first of
January and July, and the principal will bo reim
bursable in fifteen years from the Ist of January
next. - No bid will bo received below par, nor for
say fraction of one thousand dollars, and all bid
must be unconditional, and without referexee to
the bids of others. Ono per cent. of the amount
bid for must be placed In ono of the depositories of
the United States. The payments on the accepted
bids must be mode on or before September next.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad has transported
during too week ending June 26, 9,218 tons of
coal, decrease of 2,003, compared with the corre
sponding week last year.
The Kntoterhoei er sometimes tome its atten
tion to money matters. The following is its last
" financial" notice :
" The man who, in the late , tln-panto,' or
' oriels,' replied to the remark of a polite notary,
that he had itrought a notice of protest for five
thousand dollars, probably a mistake, ' Oh !• no—
a regular bu'st !'—that man, we say, is almost
equalled by the editor of a Western paper, who
owes a bank a thousand dollars, for, which they
hold his note. The defaulting wag announces it
thus in his paper :. ' There is a large and rare col-
Motion of autographs of distinguished indivi
duals deposited for safe-keeping in the cabinet of
the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, each accom
panied with a note in hind-writing of the auto
graphist. We learn that they have cost the bank
a great deal of money. They paid over a thou
sand dollars for oars. We hope great care is taken
to preserve these capital and interesting relics, as,
should they be lost, we doubt whether they could
be easily coiled ted again. Should the bank, how
ever, be so unfortunate as to lose ours, we'll let
them have another at half price, in consequence
of , the very hard times.' Isn't this slaghtly
' cool?' "
Cul. Mason, in a report upon the survey of the
proposed Georgian bay ship canal, puts the cost of
the canal at over $22,000,000. Besides this, other
outlays would be required to improve other por
tions of navigation, which would swell the expen
diture to $40,000,000 and the Colonel hints that
350,000.000 would be required to complete - the
work. Mr. Tally's estimate for the canal proper
was $22,110,750. Col. Mason. gives six years to
complete it. The Toronto Colonist goes into a
calculation on the estimated expenditure, placing
the prospects of the project in a very =favora
ble light:
"Six per cent. interest on $22,170,75 would be
81,330,245; repairs and maintenance, say $lOO,OOO
more, making . a yearly charge of 1430,245. Col.
Mason gives six-years as the period of its comple
tion; and'wo take for granted that the interest
accruing during that time would be paid, if not
upon the whole, upon certain portions of the capi
tal. This might be taken perhaps at about half
of the whole, or say $500,000, which, added to the
$1,430,000, would make an annual charge of
$1,950,000; or, to weak in round numbers, two
million dollars. We shall say nothing of the
probability of collecting such a revenue.—]t might
or It might not be possible.
" IYe shall content ourselves with the simple ob.
.nervation, that the net revenue from all sources
from the provincial canals of Canada for the year
1857 was £27,370 lOs 6d—that is about $102,518, or
about one-tenth of the sum required to pay a divi
dend of six par cent upon toe estimated'cost of
the proposed ship canal."
The conclusion at which the Colonist . arrives
is, that there is no hope of - the early accomplish
ment of the project.
