When and now the Kansas Question is
to be Settled.
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.

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

DRAB. Bra: has comp with its lus
ohms ripeness, the crops are gathered, and the

give evidence, by the numerous stacks of grain,
of a bountiful return for the toll of the farmer. In

twenty-six stacks of grain, after the large barns,
for which this county is famous, were Clod.

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. B.
Letter from New York.

Now Yons, August 2, 1858
The barbarous murder of an old man named Cor
nelius Radey, by a gang of " Dead Rabbits," was
made the subject of investigation to-day, at the
Sixth ward station house, where an inquest is now
going on.
We have no further intelligence of the reported
suicide of Maitland, the author. 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

Supposed Suicide . '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."

By the arrival of the bark Ellen Morrison, we
have the Jornal do Con:mord° from Rio to June
17, six days later than previous advices.

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,

Guardians of the Poor.—Tho regular stated
meeting of the Board took place yesterday after
day afternoon. The census of the house for the
last two weeks was read, as follows : Number now
in the institution, 2,275 ; same time last year,
2,038; increase, 237.
A letter was received from Dr. Smith, chief re
sident physician, replying at much length to sun
dry charges brought against him by Mi. Brown.
Dr. Smith denied those charges, the principal one
of which was that during the period that he (Dr.
I S.) was formerly chief physician to the almshouse,
tho most disgraceful personal exposures of females
were made to young students at the clinics.
Mr. Brown reiterated his charges, and said that
he stoodprepared to prove his statements, and was
very glad to see that the Sunday press had taken
up the matter. Mr. Brown spoke with consider
able acrimony and earnestness.
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.
The House Agent reported that he had
received for bond and support eases $174.75
The Visitors reported their expenditures of
the last two weeks $534 75

Mr. Budd offered a resolution that the President
appoint a committee to examine and report upon
the expediency of altering the present system of
furnishing goods for the Almshouse Agreed to.
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.

decayed about the roots. fell across the passenger

PHILADELPHIA Mertassr, August 2—Evening.—
Broadetuffs are about the same. 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.
