We are not among those who believe that the Kansas question will very speedily be consigned to an endless sledp. It is tree that the election in.that Territory decides the fate of Lecompton; but-the matter does not end there. It is idle to say that Kansas does not desire admission into the Union, and no such inference Can be fairly' drawn - from the de feat of the proposition submitted by the Eng lish bill. A negative vote under that law will only indicate that the people aro earnest in their opposition to Leeompton, and will so express • their sentiments even in the manlier allowed them by its unfair and unjust provisions, rather than leave any doubt upon the subject. Thus desiring ad mission into the Union, the defeat of Lecom ton only paves the way for a now Constitution, which - will be formed by a Convention chosen by the whole pe#Ple of Kansas, and submit ted entire to-them for adoption er rejection ; and when ft is ratified the responsibility will be thrown upon Congress of deciding whether or Kansas shall be admitted into the Union - under it. Then will, come the test of the sincerity and determination of those Who have announced their refaltering adher ence to the English bill as a finality. If they are true to their present professions, they must add to the long list of blunders, not to say crimes, by which_ they have already dis graced themselves and dishonored that proud name of Democracy in which they have acted; by practically asserting in Presidential mes sages 'in the Senate, in the House, in official organs, in State and National Conventions— what 1 (That while they were willing that Kansas should come into the Union under a Constitution obnoxious to the people, and against their will, they are unwilling to admit her milder a Constitution which has been sealed with their approval at the polls. That while they wore willing she could come into the Union as a slave State, they are unwilling to admit her as a free State. That while her present population was sufficient to justify the establishment of a Locompton State Go vernment, it is insufficient for an anti-Le compton State Government That the Democratic party must devote all its - energies to the - business of dragging Territories into the Union _ against the wishes of their people when they have slave Constitutions, and to be equally determined to keep Terri tories.out of the Union when they have free Constitution<and that all who will not avow their adhesion to both these doctrines, are to be incontinently set down as "Black Repub licans " - and "Abolitionists" by the men who, in consideration of the condescension and wonderful patriotism they have exhibited by ac cepting the offices, and obtaining the lucrative contracts of the Federal Government, claim sot only the right to • receive the honors and emolument] thereunto 'appertaining, but also undertak the duty of making and unmaking creeds, of establishing' new tests and standards whe7reby political prthodOxy may be determin ed, and not content With thwarting and nullify ing the wistes of the Democratic masses who clothed them with power, assume the right to read them out of the party which owes its very existence to their generous efforts: When issues such as these arise, as in all human pro bability they will, they can only be determined by the Leeomptonites agreeing to actjustly and niagnaniniously towards the people of Kansas. If they rethae, as their present programme in dicates,-they cannot for one moment hope that the ghost of that Popular Sovereignty which they have slaughtered will down. The American - heart has been stirred to its pro foundest depths by the Kansas issue. If it bad involved nothing but a mere question of expediency it might have soon been forgotten. But it strikes far deeper than that. It reaches the very groundwork of our Government. When we felicitate ourselves upon the success which' has attended our great national effort to establish and,maintain free institutions, and seek to account for it, we can perceive no stronger reason why we have succeeded where others have failed, than that we have started out upon correct principles, and have adhered to them. No people who aro indifferent where principles of vital importance are at stake, can long remain tree. The exercise of popularrights, lfy the suffrages of the people, can neverbeefoked'in defence of a nobler cause thin - 4110 rvinaicatton of the great doc trine of self4overnment upon which their whole 'right to be the source of all govern mental power is based. A party which wars upon this principle ware upon the people, and, through patronage and power, may be temporarily successtul, they cannot long main-, fain such an unequal contest. The people mast be triumphant; and they will demand, as the, earliest and most important fruit of that triumph, that the doctrine of self-government shall be replaced upon a monument so lofty and so miduring that pa Administration and no self:constituted party leaders will ever dare - to think for one moment of-attempting to vio late and overthrow a principle so deeply and sincerely cherished by the American masses. So far as the Demodratic party Is concerned, there is but one path open for its future safety. It most adopt the policy of General Jammu in times of political ,trouble—go back to first - principles, to the great foundations of its power, to its early and honest devotion to popular -rights; and, returning like a Prodigal Son from the-forbidden paths where it has ,strayed, and where naught but wretched dia graOri, and - poierty awaititt, re-assume its ha biliments of Popular Sovereignty, and be re baptized Mtite Saered waters of self-gOvern nient. ' - India and Chinn. , The difficulties of Great Britain, on account of the Indian rebellion, do not appear on the decrease. 'Victory "after victory is reported, and yet the back-bone of the revolt evidently is not broken. The natives carry on a guerilla warfare, flying when large masses of British troops come up, and returning whenever the coast is clear. They are nearly as skilful with &satins as if they had been 4( raised" in Ken tucky.. The present force employed against the rebels, large as it is, appears so insufficient that about twenty thousand additional troops from England are now demanded. The quairel with China seems likely to be brought to a head. The combined French and English troops, comparatively a mere handful, had taken the fort at the mouth of the river Pelho, and had commenced advancing up those waters in gun-boats. Mere numerical force could easily crush such an expedition as this, and it would not surprise us to hoar, in a week or two, that it had done so. In that event, it will be necessary to send from ten to fifteen thousand troops to China for a real war. Therefore, just at present, England has her hands full of battle, and her policy is to avoid trouble with any other Power. The Bulwer Case. The Emma. matrimonial fracas has come to a conclusion—for the present, at least. Mr. ROBERT BULWER-LTTTON, the only surviving child of Sir EDWARD and his wife, seems to have effected an amicable arrangement. The lady is liberated from confinement, which was not te in a lunatic asylum," but it appears, from the letter of Dr. CoNoLLT, one of the most distinguished of the English faculty, that there was the very strongest grounds for her being placed under restraint. Dr. Emma WnfeLow, a great authority in lunacy cases, (who was employed by the irate lady,) reports that her state of mind was such " as to justify her liberation from restraint." Da. CO NOLLY, qualifies his - opinion, it may be ob served, by approving of her leaving coin the society of her son and female friend." Sir EDWAilmi EUEWER-LYTTON is fully acquitted by his son and Dr. Wimsr,ow, of unkind and harsh conduct. The correspondence on this subject, necessary to complete the history of the ease, appears on our ilia Page.

" Ivanhoe "is a win ning card in Manager Foster's bands, during the present week at hut. Strlonn.-4 man named Henry Glenn com mitted suicide by hanging himself, at German town, yesterday afternoon. The coroner will hold se bluest 'tbie Prrnitip One More Attempt The cruise of the British steamer Agamem non, reported in the English papers at great length, occupies more space than, with nu merous other demands' upon it, wo care to give to its republication, It is full of interest and, as far as we can judge, fully establishes two facts: that the Telegraph Cable is by no means likely to bo laid in the Atlantic, from America to Europe, by the present means and appliances, and that the American steam frigate Niagara which the London Times so dreadfully reviled, as" little better than a tub, worked better at sea than the Agamemnon, the crack steamer of the British navy. Indeed, the - algamemnon rolled about on the ocean, beneath the first nor'wester, and luckily esca ped foundering. We rejoice, for the honor of our navy, and also for the credit of her builder, honest GEORGE arms, that the Niagara fulfilled the most sanguine expectations, and this under peculiarly dangerous circum stances. Neither Mr. CYRUS FIELD on the Niagara, nor Professor TuoMrsoN on the .Bgamemnon have been able to discover how and why the cable broke. They report the sudden snapping and always at a time when eve ry thing seemed to be favorably proceed ing. The vessels have gone back to the mid dle of the Atlnntic to make ono more attempt, but scarcely any person is so sangnine as to expect success. J' or the year 1858 as well as for that of 1857, the motto of the Sub-Atlan tic Telegraph Company might bo a Me/iorti ape quota Poritints,"—with better hope than fortune. It was seriously proposed by the London Times that the Leviathan should bo employed next time, as her great length would enable her to avoid the being a quarter so much jerked by the waves as smaller vessels aro. But the Leviathan is not only unfinished and unfitted up, but all attempts to obtain the ad ditional £220,000 to complete her have failed, and she is moored in the Thames, apparently with small chance of speedily leaving her moorings. gyeri £lOO,OOO might render her capable of 'taking the whple of the . cable across the great waters, but the Telegraph Company cannot spare that money, nor a tithe of it. Then it was said that the British Co ' vernment might be disposed to advance co the needful," but when Mr. DISRAELI was ques tioned about it, in Parliament, his reply that certainly the Governinent had not taken the subject into consideration was so short, snap pish, and decided, that it was felt also to imply that they would not. Opinion differs among mon of science as to the cable itself. Many affifm that it was too thick, others .that it was far too slight. All depends upon the strain upon it, and there is great uncertainty as to that. Its own weight) in the water, unless when lying on the, floor of the ocean, 'nay be sufficient to strain and snap it. Again, we know not what underneath currents there may be in the depths below. A. writer, who has studied the practical part 'of the case closely, says: "Analogy teaches us that the bed of the ocean very much re sembles the surface of the land ; that it pre sents similar irregslaritles of mountain and valley, with this exception, that the submarine mountains and peaks are all naked rock, chiefly. of the harder primary foundation. Here, then, we have a gigantic difficulty to the completion of electric communication over so vast a space. If we suppose that the cable can escape the i danger of being cut by the sharp granite edges of the rock, which lb taking a good deal for granted, It will inevita bly have to hang in long festoons from peak to peak.; and some of these festoons may be of such enormous length as to render it im possible that they can support themselves." This is a new view. What unsupported rope could be strong enough to sustain Its own length, in such a case, if laid from moun tain to mountain PR the land Yet the moun tains and currents of the deep present still greater difficulties. Whenever the cable bo laid—and we can not, will not think it impossible—every foot of it must be put, by some means, actually resting on the bottom of the ocean. That is the great thing required. From Washington. Morresiondeoes of The Press.] WASHINGTON, July 28, 1858 Notwithstanding the assertion of the various daily papers-to the contrary, I can assure you that Mr. Forsyth, our minister in Mexico, is not recalled. Only a few days ago I heard from the President's own lips, asserting that the tenor of the late despatches sent by Oaptain Henry to Mr. Forsyth is to the end that the latter disconti nue to have any official intercourse with that Go vernment, at the same time to remain at his poet and passively watch the course of events there. His late acts In Mexico are neither approved nor censured by our Administration—in other words, We sire nen-committal. Although the Washington correspondent of the I New York Herald is likewise misinformed as re garde the instruction to Mr. Forsyth, I agree with him " that our Government, by going into a war with Mexico, (one-horse power !) would repair the damages of the Democratic party." But Ido not believe that our worthy President would plunge this country into an unjust war with that unfortu nate nation, merely to Dave, or rather to join the divisions of the Democracy. No, sir! The Pre sident will not do such a thing ; and I, for one, would rather seethe Democratic party a thousand times more, divided, .than that our President should commit a violent act before the eyes of the world After all, what is the worth of any party without being true to their principles? Ido not care with what party an honest Democrat, for the time being, may act, provided he maintains and executes the true Democratic principles ; and though snob a one may find himself at times alone, and viewed like an objeot which, at first sight, may start the beholders, eventually, how ever, they aro drawn to it, propelled by magnetic force, to share and derive its lustre. I observe, also, that the New York Herald does already arouse or frighten Its feeders, I do not know which,"about our engaging in a war with Mexico; yet I must ask whore is the cause to that step ? The mere levy of a tax on our countrymen in that country cannot be construed into a cams tells and were this a (muse for war, which I deny, the Zuloaga Government has since revoked that tax, and with it obviated any cause of com plaint. I maintain, however, that even were the Mexican Government to hula that the American residents have to pay the tax, I do not know if that in itself can be viewed as an act for war. Not being in a condition (in such hot weather) to examine such authorities as Vattel and others, I cannot positively here state their opinions about such a point; but I should think, and I base my opinion upon the old maxim or Christian precept, "do unto others as thou would unto thee," then we have no just ground for complaint. Supposing the foreign residents in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisso, and in other places, were to protest against their being taxed to contribute their. share towards the local and State Government wherein they may reside: would any one, even for a moment, entertain the supposition that the respective Governments, whose subjects are thus taxed, have sufficient cause to make war on us? Certainly not. Simply why? because these foreign residents by paying their share, in equal ratio as our own citizen, they enjoy jointly the benefit, by being protected, etc., etc. But I may be told that this being a local or private tax, It cannot be brought in a parallel with a forced levy by a General Govern ment. Well, I will here grant that, purely for argument sake; but supposing our General Go vernment was in the same straitened pecu niary condition as Mexico now is, with very little or no revenue, with its credit totally impaired, so mush so as to be unable to raise any loan, and in consequence, for want of funds, is prevented from carrying on its administration, as, for example, protecting our commerce on the high seas, the new white settlers against the depredations of the Indians, redress of wrong abroad, etc., etc. would not, under stash a state of things, our Government be justified to impose a personal tax? and would not, under such an emergency, the foreign residents be called on to contribute their part? Certainly they ought; and should not be exempt. Why, sir, the foreign residents in America, alike with our °Wrens, do contribute indirectly towards the maintenance of our General Government. They have done Bo during all the different wars that we ever engaged in, including the late about-to-be-war with the Mormons. At all events, though there was not fought a battle on the plains of Utah, nevertheless the cost which the Administration inourred for that purpose is con siderable. And are we not now about to be, or already, engaged in war with the Indians in Washington and Oregon? To all these es pouses foreign residents in America do contribute indirectly—l mean by being taxed on imports, which revenue goes towards the maintenance of our Governinent. Of late, as you are aware, those revenues hate deoreased very considerably. and in consequence the Administration demanded a' loan, which was granted by the last two sessions of Congress;. but when in the course of events oar credit is exhausted, then the Government will be compelled to collect a personal or property tax, and if foreigners wish to be exempt from such a tax they have their remedy by emigrating. Yet, under any circumstances', the levy of Bush a tax cannot, nay ought not, be considered as a national violence. Our venerable Secretary of State is again to locomotion, and though somewhat thinner from the effect of his recent siokness, looks, neverthe less, hale and healthy, and the hope le that he will yet, for many, many years, give hie experience to anoty, • THE PRESS.---PHILADELPIHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1858. Graphic Picture of Ephrata rOorreepondence of The Prem.') EPHRATA MOUNTAIN SPRINGS, SATURDAY EYRNINU, July 31, 1858. DRAB. Bra: has comp with its lus ohms ripeness, the crops are gathered, and the harvested Raids, among woodlands and meadow, give evidence, by the numerous stacks of grain, of a bountiful return for the toll of the farmer. In my drive to this place, on Monday, from Lancas ter, I counted In some fields seventeen, and others twenty-six stacks of grain, after the large barns, for which this county is famous, were Clod. I have now become initiated to the comfortable and healthful influences of this really unsurpassed _summer resort, after a week's rest and enjoyment among Its scenes of pleasure and amusements. The company visiting here at present is composed of agreeable ladies and gentlemen. I find the pity of Brotherly Love largely represented; also, your neighbor of the Monumental City—and our own goodly town of Lancaster not so wall repre sented as I expeoted. I am glad to find some families from the South. We comingle in our de lirious hours of morning and evening, in lively oonversatlon, both grave and gay—politics, hus bandry, news-of-the-day, and the softer and gen tler tones of love and poetry may be heard in their sweet whisperings among the solitudes, and the shady groves and dolls Buttered among our mountain walks. The beautiful, young, earnest, and sanguine are here, with their flushed hopes of pleasure, and they are wall provided for by the liberality and taste of Mr. Ronigmacher. On Tuesday evening, the company were handsemely entertained in the largo dining saloons by a tableau, evellently con ceived and acted. The characters represented were affective, and the illustrations correct and artistically portrayed. A number of the young ladies wore richly arrayed for the impersonation of °godly° characters. The stage could not better indicate the scenes we saw sustained. It NlllB principally managed by the young ladies and gen tlemen, and was highly applauded throughout. There is one feature in the company here: they go into their amusementi with a zest. Col. of New York, the other evening, liberally provi ded himself with a large supply of fire-works, and had them erected in appointed places on the lawn in front of the main building. The match being applied, rockets, Roman candles, Bengal lights, ,to., were careering in the sky, making artificial luminaries for the .hour more attractive than the ,natural ones with which the sky was studded. Ho had taken tbe aompanrby surprise, and they en joyed the treat. The "miss in her Leone" is here; dancing and waltzing is the order of the evening. I have no ticed five sets of cotillions on the floor at one time; and thus, my dear air, are the happy'hours whiled away, amid the strains of cheerful music and beautiful ladies. We would not have you think we are undmind ful of more serious objects. We have Artily morn ing prayer-tmeelings in gip gentlemen's parlor, which are principally conduoted by the visitors at the Springs. They are well attended : and many of them deeply Interesting. But to the mountain.. The view from the "look out" on its summit is, perhaps, one of the most picturesque the eye of man could behold—it is a panorama of Paradise. You may take any point, and the whole delightful scene of valley and mountain, in a continuous and most expanded stretch, lies out before you for forty miles, the rich and highly cultivated farms spread before your view one vast landscape. I doubt much whether such another picture, with the influences of light and shade, can be found in any country. There Is much here to Astra the mind in every way—the beautiful and sublime—the fertile farms, with fields moped out in the valleys and on the slopes of the mountains in every direction. At one point from the Observatory I could distinctly see Lan caster pity, with its steeples and colleges,- a dis tance of fourteen miles. The picture in this di rection is exceedingly rich, and full of beauties for the eye. Last evening we had a delightful shower of rain which the parched earth drank in; the dust woe laid, the air purified, the trees and meadows all looking sweeter and cleaner, giving us one of those gorgeous meets which invite our admiration. In my walk, enraptured with the scene of earth, air, and sky, Byron's verses to the "Italian Summer Bye" onme to my mind : Pill'd with the face of Heaven, which from afar Comes down upon the waters ; ail its hues, Prom the rich sanest to the rising star, Their magical variety diffuse : And now they change; a paler shadow strews Its mantle o'er the mountains; parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang Imbues With a new color as it gasps away, The lest still loveliest till—'tis gone—and all Is gray." The primitive uildings in the settlement of the Bunkers, or Seventh-day Baptists at this place attract the attention of the visitors. In my next I may give a sketch of their early customs, dto. The society as located here one hundred and fifty years ago, still preserve intact their nunnery and monastery buildings. There is much to Interest,- and amuse us of this ago of progress ; but we, too,' dear sir, are getting old ; and may we also wor ship at the shrines of our fathers, la the prayer of Truly, yours, J. 11.

Ho was seen in a bookstore on Friday evening, and also drew a BUM of money from the Sun newspaper office, on that afternoon. Consequently there is groat in credulity regrrding Ms death. Maitland has been engaged on the Dispatch, and other papers, for several years, as a book critic and novelist, and appeared to be a quiet and unassuming man, until the unlucky attempt to make literary capital out of an interlined letter of Washington frying, fixed on hint the charge of forgery in that par ticular. The interminable Cancemi case came onc e more before the Supremo Court this morning, and a stay of proceedings granted by Judge Ingraham. If the Court of Appeals shall not now sustain the judgment, the prisoner will have a fourth trial. Certainly the defence of •this man by his counsel, Blankman and Aohmead, exhibits a most singular pertinacity, and not a little legal adroitness; and if the convict should yet map, ho will owe his de liverance to an unparalleled fidelity on the part of lawyers. Blankman avers that the prisoner has no money, and that his counsel have been actuated throughout by humane motives and a belief in their client's innocence. The ease of Stephen If. Branch, the great libel ler of the ago, did not come up to-day, as was ex pentad, much to the chagrin of the crowds whit awaited it. Stephen's trial is to take place to morrow. The great cricket match between " Canada and the United States"—eleven one side—was to have commenced this morning at Hoboken, but the rainy weather interfered, and though the grounds are covered with spectators, no regular bowling has yet begun. Muoh interest is manifested, and the champions are pretty well matched. Dillaye, it is said, is lying very seriously ill, from the effects of Hart's assault last week. It is feared that an injury has been inflicted like that experienced by Mr. Sumner. Those " gutta pr obe. canes" appear to be "deadly" weapons now a-ti aye. • Colonel Kane, from Utah, is in the city, en route for home and Washington.

'of Maitland, the Author. The Now York Sunday Times nye James A. Maitland, the novelist, author of "The Watchman," " Old Doctor," " Cabin Boy," " Pi rate Doctor,' " Lawyer's Story," aid "Sartnroe,"' bee probably committed suicide. On Friday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, he left his house in Degraw street, Brooklyn, in a state of great" excitement. Sines that time nothing has been seen of him. The following letter, addressed by him to the editor of the New York Dispatch, was received by post, yesterday morning, and suffi ciently explains itself: . . . rinoowtorw, Jul' 30, 1958. "MR. WILLIAMSON : Deer Sir—l find it im possible to sustain the accumulation of misfortune which has befallen me. Long before you receive this• I shall be no more. You have ever been my friend, so has Oapt. Toone, Mr. denim, and °there? but I have found enemies among those whom I would a year ago have trusted with my life, and among !those whom to tinge enemies were worse than death. " I shall be unseen and unoared for I hope, even if my remains are found, they will neder be recognised, and I hope that the curtain of silence will be drawn over my ninny errors, since I call God to witness that I never wilfully wronged any human being. "To only ono person besides yourself have I confided the subject of my death. I wish for no no toriety. and that it may forever be unknown. "Yours truly, JAMES A. MAITLAND." Mr. Williamson, on receipt of the letter, des patched Captain Toone and other friends of Mr. Maitland in search of him, but up to a late hour last evening, no tidings of him had been obtained. Mr. Maitland was an Englishman by birth, and served for several years as a midshipman in the British navy. Some years ago he came to this country, and entered upon the profession of an author, maintaining a strict secresy as to his family relations. We believe that he was married abmt two years ago to a widow lady named Miller, al though he has frequently denied the fact. He was an accomplished classical scholar, and a proficient in the modern languages. He was assidlous in the pursuit of his profession, the proceeds of which, with proper economy, would have enabled him in a few years to acquire a competency ; but he la vished everything upon the woman of his choice, and, in order to gratify her wishes, involved him self pecuniarily in every direction. His death is, doubtless, attributable to the fact that his credit ors were becoming clamorous for their dues, and the lady for whom ho had thus involved him self had latterly manifested a coolness toward him. Interesting Decinion—Right of Reparian Owners. The Supreme Court has decided a ease in refe rence to the Allegheny wharf, which comes dower sharp on manufacturers whose establishments aro on navigable streams in Pennsylvania. They generally use the bank to fill in with cinders, waste, de , taking it for granted that they have a right to all the land they can " make" up to low water mark. But, say the Supreme Court : "The Allegheny and many other navigable rivers do not, at the time of low-water, occupy over one-third of their bed, and it would be most disastrous to allow every owner to fill out his land to low-water mark. If it was effectually done at a single place, it would necessarily flood all the land above, at high-water, and soon sweep away the land of the opposite proprietors. It is only by ideating gradually on the public, right that such a claim ever gets a foothold. The absolute ownership extends only to ordinary high-water mark, and all below that is part of the publ io river highway. I Pa. B. 467. 1 Watts A: S. 353, which is perfectly consis tent with the ownership of the soil, and the exclu sive right to the landing as such, but not with every use of it that would interfere with the high way, or unduly fordo the current from its natural course, to the injury of other reparlan owners. On unnavigable streams the right of reparian owners extend to the middle of them, and on the principle contended for they might just as reasonably fill up the bed of such streams to the middle, without re gard to the rights of others. This right takes a modified form when applied to tide-water rivers, because their nature ie different, and they reauire a different form of landing or wharves. But kvon their wharves would be of very little value if they did not extend beyond low watermark, and there. foreiithey always depend for their true value upon police regulations."

Tho Chamber of Commerce of Rio had united all commerolal and industrial associations, and mon chants in general, to join in a memorial to the Le glslalure, asking for the establishment of a line of electric telegraph to connect the prinoipal sea ports of the empiro.

All her appointments are complete.—Washington Star. Street Begging.—During the last few years, this evil has increased to an incredible extent. The beggars find in our city a fine field for plying their profession, and they swarm around it like flies around a sugar hogshead. We have them from all countries, and of all ages—from hoary age—hoary in the service of mendioity—down to the innocent child, learning the rudiments of its career of sin—we find them wherever, whenever, however we go. Early morning and late midnight, with counterfeited accents of pity, they haunt ns with their outstretched pauper bands. We cannot drop a letter in the post-office but they haunt us there; wo cannot enter our squares without run ning a gauntlet of them. If we go to the theatre for amusement, we find them there, crowding the entrance, or clustering around the lobbies. If we go to church, in the holy name of charity they appeal to our bettor nature, making a show of piety as a key to open our pockets, strolling along our promenades, or jaunting along in the care, we find them. Nothing is sacred from their intrusion. They force themselves into our par lors and kitchens, invading the sanctity of our homes. Into our off/oes and sanctums they creep with catlike pane, bent on their errands of dis honor and theft. Prom a mere handful a few years ago, humble and grateful for any favors, they have grown into a largo and influential class, impudent and audacious, stealing when op portunity offers, and hurlit.g their contumely on all who refuse or neglect their importunate de mands. We speak of these mendicants can who follow the business for a profession, and 11911 it as a means to amass their ill-gotten wealth. There era exceptions, we know, but these are rare. Honest poverty has no need to retail its plaintive tale of misery on our highways, or to trumpet its misfortunes before the gaze of men. Tho benevolence of our oitieens has happily ran- , dared this anti! ciy unnecessary, and our oharita- Me institutions have relief in store for all whom dire disaster may have driven from honest labor to honest penury. There is a great difference between the worthy class of unfortunates and the unworthy class of indolent, impudent, imported class of lazzaroni. Mayor Henry has already done much to remedy the evil complained of. We hops the day will soon come when every vestige of the maignoo shall bo mond, BY TELEGRAPH. From Washington.

A letter wee received,- dived by the assistant physicians to the institution,-notifying the Board of the present illegality of their late resolution requiring those physicians to pay $4 per week each for their board at the house, on the ground that a contract had already been made with them for one year upon other terms. Referred to the Almshouse Committee.

Mr. Dunlap offered r resolution that the steward advertise for proposals for beef during the remain ing summer season. Agreed to. Mr. Brown's resolution to abolish the ferry at South street, es a superfluity and an unnecessary expense. was called up, and laid upon the table by a vote of 13 to 8. Mr. Smith offered a resolution that the notes on the Bank of Pennsylvania, hold by the board, be sold for the best price they will bring, and the proceeds be brought into the treasury. The following resolution was then offered : Resolved, That the Blookley liospital be re opened to olinical - instruotion. Resolved, That this Board proceed to elect ton medical (actors. four consulting physicians, four consulting surgeons, bnd two consulting obstetri cians, (who in connection with the chief resident physician, shall constitute the . Medical Board of Blookley Rossital,) whose duty it shall be to give clinical lectures regularly in the hospital, at the tiums and in the order to be agreed upon by them selves, under such rules as they may see proper to adopt, in con'ormity with the rules of the Board of Guardians for the government of the institu tion A long and spirited debate took place in con sidering this resolntion. Its opponents contended that it would revive the former shocking abuses which they represinted as having existed, while Its advocates labored to show that, by parsing it, a field would be presented which would double the number of medical students who new come to this city to receive a medical education. Br. Oliver argued for the resolution. Messrs. Smith, Armstrong, Brown and others, protested against the exposure of the sick merely because they were the children of misfortune, and with such success that the matter was postponed. The subject of electing a gardener then came up, and wee disposed of in like manner, some of the members declaring that the institution would be the gainer if the farm were abolished, and all the land - belonging to the institution were planted with vegetables. The 'Steward's requisition was then read, and the Board adjourned. The Printers tricketing.—We were in formed, yesterday, of a new movement lately com menood among that generally talented class of gentlemen the .Isaanneymen printers. Several, as many as twealllistlir:. nr thirty. have started an association under the captivating title of " The Typographical Cricket Club." They are taking their first lessons in this noble and manly exercise, and have chosen a large and eligible field in the lower part of the city, as their site of operations. Apropos of typographical onoketing, perhaps it may not to out apiece to make a remark upon a very noticeable feature our brethien of the stick and rule" have always exhibited. Almost every movement made by the Philadelphia me chanics towards altering their condition, or rais ing their moral and phyoioal standard, and social influence, has been inaugurated by the printers. " Typographical Benevolent Associations," "Typo graphical Libraries," and now " Typographical Cricket Clubs," claim seniority ever all other in stitutions, as a general thing, in every branch of the mechanic arta. This late movement will be produotive of great good. Now that the printers have pioneered, we may look for similar distinc tive clubs among our shoemakers, our carpen ters, our tailors, our blacksmiths, and their hard. working brethren in every department In Eng. land cricketing is a universal pastime. Every village has its club, and every club numbers more mechanics and laborers than every other olass. Though as Americans we may well feel proud of our national greatness and our national import ance, and may feel impatient of instruction or ad vice, there are many things we may learn with profit from our mother country, and this is one of them. Police Ilems.—James Sipped was commit ted by Alderman Tittermany, yesterday morning, on the charge of attempting to kill a woman named Virginia French, by cutting her throat with a ease knife. The affair happened in Bed ford street. Muria Welsh and another female known as "Irish Maria," were taken before the same mag istrate on the charge of keeping a disorderly house in Pine Alley. They were held to answer. Wm. Nixon, Isaac Green and Robert Bluodon, for rioting in the vicinity of Sixth and St. Mary streets, and destroying the property of John Bur gess, wore committed by the same magistrate. ' James Green, certainly a hopeful son, was ar rested in Atherton street, first ward, on the charge of attempting to kill his father with a carving knife. Ho was committed to prison. has. Butler, for insulting females in the Frank lin Square, was sent below yesterday by Alder man Butler. Thos. McComb, for lotting the water run from a fire plug, was committed yesterday by Ald. Allen. A groat many street-walkers were arrested on Saturday and Sunday nights. Some of them were committed and others discharged with a repri mand. John Ervin, John Richards, and James Ralston, wero committed by Alderman Conrow, on Sunday evening, to answer the charge of lulling to riot, and rescuing prisoners from otlieers in the neigh borhood of Washington and Thirteenth streets. The Weather.—Yesterday was a dreary day. Damp, and dark, and dismal. Prom horizon to horizon the heavens presented one unbroken mass of sodden clouds, unrelieved by a single tint of etherial blue. The rain came down and umbrel las went we, while the thermometer. ashamed of the warmth of its late demonstrations, contented itself in the temperate regions of 62 degrees. Summer clothing gave way to heavy dress coats, and the light, sprightly dresses, eo becoming to August, vanished like peach-blossoms after after a hurricane. The sun masked himself so com pletely that not a glimpse of his honest face could be obtained, presenting, undoubtedly, the same appearance as when on Bosworth field, he caused that amiable and unpretending gentleman, Richard 111, of Shaksporean memory, to grumblerbeeause ho " refused to shine. It was just snob a day as to sour the temper, damp the spirits, and set the ladies scolding and the children crying. Oh, for the sunshine, the glorious happy sunshine, though we are compelled to enjoy it by the aid of ice cream and soda water, and to itemise the miseries of " ninety-five in the shade." 41mott a Murder.—John Carlin and Mary Oaths, husband and wife, residing on Front street, near the Southwark Canal, were taken before Alderman Tittermary. yesterday afternoon, on the charge of committing. an assault and battery on a man named Hutehinson with intent to kill him. He alleged in his evidence before the magis trate that he proceeded to the residence of the defendants, for the purpose of collecting a small bill, and that both ordered him out of the house. Ho refused to go, and endeavored to remonstrate with them, whereupon Mrs. Geniis seized a cleaver and dealt him a severe blow on his right eye, which out in deeply, and may cause the loss of the sight of that organ. Mr. Hutchinson backed, and, in defending himself from repeated blows, received several severe lacerations on his hands and arms The defendants ware committed to answer. The sufferer bad his wounds dressed by a physieian, after which be proceeded home. Murderous assault.—At an early hour on Sunday morning, Daniel Howard was shot in Vine street. below Fifteenth. The ball took effect in the left shoulder, where it still remains. The wounded man wee conveyed to the drug store at Sixteenth and Vine streets, where his injuries were attended to. Many stories are afloat in relation to the matter, but none worthy of credence Mr. Howard was formerly captain of a military com pany, and it is alleged that ho had a number of muskets stored in his dwelling, with one of which it is thought the wound was inflicted His injuries are not of a dangerous character. No arrests were made. Coroner's Inquest.—The Coroner yesterday held An inquest on the body of an Infant, mimed Mary Linderfer, at the residence of her parents, No. 158 Poplar street, The father was under the impression that the child had died from medicine given in mistake by the druggist. The attending physician and he who had compounded the pre scription were present, and after a full examina tion of the facts the jury rendered a vordiot attri buting the death of the little one to natural causes, thus relieving the mind of the father from all further apprehension on the subject.

The Flour market is very quiet and there is no demand for export, and old stock superfine is offered at $4.25a4.371, without finding buyers to any ex• tent ; fresh ground superfine is selling in a small way to the trade at from $4 50a5, the latter for better brands, made from new wheat ; $4 874a5.25 for extra, and $5.500 per bbl for fancy lots, as to brand and freshness. Rye Flour and Corn Meal are scarce and wanted, at $3 37} per bbl for the former and $3 75 for the latter. Wheat—The market continues poorly supplied, sad prime lots are wanted at fully former rates; sales inoludo about 1,800 bush at 903.1000 for fine old Pennsyl vania Red ; $1.15a1 20 for good and prime South ern do, and Si 25a1.37 for White, as in qual ity. Old Pennsylvania Ryo is steady at 73 cents. Corn is wanted, but there is very little offering today; 92e930 is freely offered for good yellow, but holders ask more and we hear of no sales. Oats aro rather dull, but about 2,000 bushels have been disposed of at 42c for old Pennsylvania and 370 for new Delaware. Bark--in Quercitron thero is nothing d. ing for the want of stock, and let No 1 si coerce at $32 per ton. In Cotton there is no new feature and a small business doing at previous quotations. Groceries and Provisions are buoyant and firm with a limited business doing owing to the high views of holders, and a reduced stock of the former to operate in. Seeds are quiet; the last sales of Cloverseed was at $5 50 per bushel; there is none offering today. Whiskey moves off in lots as wanted at 25a2130 for bbls, 250 for hhds, and 24a24 3o for drudge.
