The People of Kansas and the English

Bribe.
While sycophantic Conventions, packed to I
order by reckless place-mouor hungry expec
tants, are glorifying the English bribe ad' a
sacred peace-offeringip Kansas,-aud making a
test upon all Derniaerate; a voice. iomes from
that down-trodderi and - distant' Territory; for
the third time fditidiating "thi :Olaf sought to
be affixed - 4m ite intelligent people. The
English finality Is finally rejected; the
English Bribe spurned with contempt; the
Lecompton Constitution burled into on igno
ininiaue wave, under the very law passed by
'those .iffio attempted Its resurrection. After
th
a _bitter straggle of morean a year under
Mr. BUOILS.NAN'S Administ r atfOn, during which
time solemn faith:hai.boein.wickedly brOken,
honest public servafltwbetrayed, lofty charac
ter debauched and lowered, corruption boldly
introduced into &agrees to stifle investigation,
and t o co mpel Representatives to become trai
tors or onwards, and failing in either, to go
oaf of the Democratic party branded
as deserters and disorganizere—after thin
struggle, so memorable, and those Scenes
BO disgraceful, THE PEOPLE OP KANSAS
REMAIN UNSOUGHT AND lINSEDUCED, AND KAN
SAS ITSELF IS STILL A TERRITORY, THOUGH,
YwO YEARS AGO, PROMISED ADMISSION AS A
STATIIBY THE CANDIDATE OP TUB AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY, IYHEREPER 4 MAJORITY OP HER
PEOPLE DEMANDED IT. The last bait, falsely
called &measure of peace, and arrogantly made
a teat of party faith, is indignantly spurned,
and the authors of the most stupendous deser
tion of principle, again, and for a third time,
.overwlieliningly rebuked. It is significant to
see the arts and efforts of the dispetsers of
office so repeatedly discarded. The Eng
lish Bribe was the favorite invention of the
eaders in the violation of the covenant of
1866. It was carried through Congress by the
most profligate and scandalous corruption.
Nothing in this country since the passage of:
the charter of the Sank of toe 'United States
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania ; nothing
in the Old World since CASTLEREAGH bribed
through the Union bill in the Irish Parlia
ment, has been equal to it. After it
was thus bullied and bought into the shape of
a law ; after it was made the touchstone of
Democracy—the very gospel to the heathen
who have falsely dreamed of the fatal heresy
of Popular Sovereignty; and was duly accepted
by our now leaders and our callow converts,
and by those timid heroes who got so terrified
at the first honest act of their lives, that they
were ready to clutch at the first dishonest
chance to recover themselves—the next step
was to make the potion acceptable to Kansas.
What transpired there we know only by rumor,
(save that Oszuome ended his career by an act
of bigot/lons Iniquity,) but it is Indisputable
that now subsidies were sent forfiard to in
duce Kansas to seal her shame by an act of
superior self-degradation. She has bravely re
fused the last insult, as she bravely resented
the first. And now, what next?
What will our imperial masters do now ?
The web of deceit is not only woven out, it is
worn out. The armory of fraud is exhausted.
Threats Will Intimidate no more, and there
axe few more offices to buy the waiting para
sites. Expedieats will not do, gentlemen of
the Departments and of the Executive Hall.
Yon must come to the choice of plain alter
natives, as follows:
Will you accept the judgment of the peo
.
pie of Kansas as final against Lecompton, and
• admit theni as a State on your pledged faith
of 1866,nccording to the understood doctrine
of POpular Sovereignty, and in honest 1111111-
ment of the President's Letter of Acceptance,
his Inaugural Address, and the Cincinnati
Platform
Or will you keep the issue open, by compel
ling them to wait according to the new test of
faith,exclude them from the Union, probably,
till after the Presidential election, on the
ground (which you dare not deny) that be
cause they would not come in as a slave State
with 86,000 of' a population, they shall not
como in as a frees State till they have a popu
lation.of• 93,000, or it smy be 120,000 ?
One of those alternatives you must accopt.
Which shall it be ? "
If the fret, it lien acknowledgutoot of the
principle we have contended for.
If the second, it re-opens and keeps open
the dissensions which an honest adherence ft/
tho first would have forever prevented. •
_We await *route. Ittelaawblie, lot •Ur 0
grateful that this last verdict against faithle• .•
public servants has been so overwhelming.
This verdict completely sustains the men who i
have refused to give way to treachery to prin
ciple, and it compensates them by the as
surance that they have not vainly struggled.
To the gallant spirits who are awaiting their
trial at the bar of publics opinion, such a voice
as that from Kansas will be like a voice from
Heaven. It will drown the clamor of oftlola
calumniators, and confound the plans of
ambitious demagogues. To those who aro
compelled to make their canvass with the
ignominy of their votes for the English Bribe
on the record, and the last decree of the peo
ple of Kansas before the public, we can only
wish such a fate as is due to the men who pre-
furred to obey the mandate of an official few,
and to dluregard the appeals of a generona
people.
Later from Europe.
We have three days later news from Eu
rope, by the steamship Prince filbert, which
loft Galway (Ireland) on the 27th ult., and
reached Halifax yesterday. The summary of
intelligence thus received appears under our
telegraphic head.
In reply to a demand from Lord Lisp
ituusr that the British and American corres
pondence on the cc right of search" question
should be published, Lord MALLIESBUItY re
plied that arrangements calculated to 'settle
the questiorrwere in progress.
.Baron Itornsonrcn, the Jewish M. P. for
the city of London, has taken his seat in the
House of Commons. He was first elected by
his follow-citizens nearly eleven years ago.
Nothing was easier, at that time or any sub-'
Sequent time, than for the Commons to have
passi3d a resolution—as they actually had
.done,ilfteerl years before, in the ease of Mr.
Pease, a Quaker—authorizing him to take
Ids seat by substituting an oath or solemn de
claration, as the ease might be, as binding upon
his conscience as the usual Parliamentary oath
ispresarned to be upon Christian members. At
that time, Lord Jens Bussm, elected as
ROTITSCIIIIVB colleague by ROTIISOHILD'S mo
ney and influence, was Prime Minister, with a
large majority in the Commons. Had ho pro
posed such a 'resoliition, it would have been
carried, as a matter of course, and Rents-
CUM) woUld then have taken his seat. But
Lord Joint, who realizes TOY Mooan's de
scription of "a little man with a very little
soul," disdained such a simple and practical
way of doing what was right. Ho introduced
an Act of Parliament authorizing the "on the
trim faith of a Christiart" oath to be dispensed
with, in the case of tho Jews, as it had al
ready been in that of Quakers. His measure
passed the Commons, and was rejected by the
Lords. This same farce was repeated almost
every year during the following ten years, un
til, at last, the Lords gave in, and passed a
clumsy Bill which gives all that the Jews re
quired. Lord Joule must have a front of
brass if, having actually kept Itormammn out
of his seat for so many years, he could meet
him in the Commons without a blush.
Ex• President PIERCE, who - called at Cadiz
ea route, is probably at Marseilles by this
time. '
There are later details, but not later tams,

the lite (or rather early) hour when we write

not only with this country, but even with Hal

place early on Thursday evening. The latest
telegram from Halifax, received last night by
Mr. FULTOE, agent of the 'Associated Press in
this city, announces the line on Cape Breton
still to be out of order. The latest telegram
from Trinity Bay reported that, during Thurs
day, the engineers were busily employed in
getting the cable ashore at the fay of Bull's
Arm, from the Niagara. It is reported that
the Agamemnon had arrived' in Valentin BaY;
we consider the arrival to be most probable,'
but doubt whether, as regards the rumor, the
wish were not father to the thought.
It is most 'likely that we shall be able, on
Monday, to announce that the Ocean line is
in full working order. Some little time may
be occupied in llxing'tbe cable to the respec

we published yesterday, we continue to place
full reliance.
We have just seen a telegram sent to Mr.
Futirox, last night; by Mr. Came, the man
ager of the Associated Praia business at New
York. In the strongest and most direct lan
guage, Mr. Game expresses , his conviction
that the great experiment has been entirely
snaceisful, and thit.there can be no pretence
for thinking otherwise.
In this city, as indeed in all parts of the
country, the greatest interest is felt respect
ing the Sub-Atlantic telegraph. Everybody
participates in Mr. BIJOHANAN'S fervent prayer
that, under the blessing of Divine Providence
"it may prove instrumental' in promoting
perpetual peace and friendship between the
kindred nations."
BY MIDNIGHT MAIL.
LETTER FRO3I ,64 OCCASIONAL.”
reorrespoudoneo of The Press I
WARRINGTON, August 6, 1858
A scene took plasm. on Thursday evening in the
Demoeratie City Convention of Baltimore, which
is worth recording. A delegate, Mr. Owens, who
wants to be bituminous mei agspt in place of the
incumbent, Col. Polk, father-in.law to ex•Qo
vernor Lowe, offered a set of resolutions appro
ving the course of the Administration on the
Kansas question. Be wee followed',by Mr. Wolfe,
another delegate, who offered a set of resolutions
denouncing the removal of the Douglas Democrats
from office. A xleh scene ensued, which ended in
tabling both sets of resolutions. The anti-Lecomp
ton feeling was very strong in the Convention.
Your course is warmly approved by thousands of
the Maryland Democracy. I could mention some
very dietinguished names in thieconnection.
The politicians are beginning to cafeributtt for
the Presidency. One set are laboring for Daniel B.
Dickinson, of New York, who will be supported by
Mayor Wood, Mr. Scholl, Mr. Beardsley, and
others. In the extreme South Jeffeison Davis was
put forward, till he made his conservative speech
at Portland, Maine, which has given great offence
to the ultras, though It has increased his strength
in the North.
The Richmond Enquirer, through its Washington
correspondence, charges that the war upon Judge
Douglas is instigated by Messrs. Cobb, Slidell and
Bright. A large number of journals have raised
the name of Douglas, while many advocate the
claims of the indomitable Governor Wise, of
Virginia, and the gifted statesman Robert J. Wal
ker. Mr. Breekturidge's late Lecompton speeches
in Kentucky show that he goes the full
of the Administratioi'e policy on that question.
Mr. Crittenden has caused it to be announced that
he is not a candidate for President. The New
York Journal of Oommores revives Mr. Bucha
nan's pledge of 1856, net to be In the field for
1860, while the Richmond South thinks he might
be called upon to accept the nomination. Mr.
Hunter, of Virginia, seems to be out of the ques
tion entirely. The war of the opposition fac
tions in New York puts Mr. Seward greatly
in the shade. It is certain, however, that both
Fremont and MoLenn look forward to the next
struggle with some interest. Mr. Everett is put
down as in the field. His speed' at 'Boston on
the sth of last July, and his travels over the
South, eulogising Washington's character, are
said to be "signs."' General Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, is named in some quarters. The mili
tary candidates are General Wool, Commodore
Stockton, and General Johnston, of the Utah
army. A very ildiculous movement is industri
cndy' kept up to make Postmaster General Brown
a candidate for the office of Chief Magistrate. You
will gee that there is no lack of mateirtal from
which to choose our ruler for the next term. If
the stook on hand should run out, would we not
get a supply of the Biglers, who stand ready at
all times to take office, if the pay is good ?
There has not been such a rush of office-Beckon,
I hear from a recent arrival from Bedford, as the
President's visit was expected to attract. Go
vernor Porter was there, as was expected, but the
President was otherwise very slightly annoyed.
The Virginia watering-places suffer from the
hard times as well as those of the North. White
Sulphur has its full share of visitors, and among
them are many Northerners. The railroads in the
Old Dominion are opening up these fine watering
places to an immense patronage. Northern men
here the White Sulphur in charge now, and are
bound to make it a source of great fortunes to
themselves.
Notwithstanding the denial, it Is certain that
Beach and Tyler, the former of whom is Secretary
Toucey'e nephew, are the factors or - agents who
supply the coal to the new coal agent, Dr. Hunter,
and realise enormous sums by the bargain. Both
these people have been bitter foes of the'Demo
°ratio party; but I do not know that Governor
Teams, is wrong in taking care of his friends,
whether they own paper mills or coal mines.'
The latest news from Kansas reached Washing
ton just as I close thia letter. What the next card
will be may be conjectured. The Union, as I
have shown, is fully committed against recognising
the rejection of Leoompton as entitled to the
slightest respect; but the vote is so unexpectedly
enormous against the English bribe, that the
Union may wait advices from Bedford
before reiterating its mad' folly on the
eubjeot. If Mr. Buchanan would gracefully
yield, and aceept the decree and the doctrine, and
cause it to be announced that Kansas ought to be
admitted with her present population, at the next
session, all would be well. He is, however, fear
fully committed to the extreme South, who
will hold him to his pledge, though ho did
not scruple to break what he made to the
whole country in 1856. The Southern people care
very little about Leoompton ; most of them admit
that It was a fatal blunder, and only the politi
cians would growl if the President threw it to the
dogs. °murmur,.

you should have thorn all. Ongoing the posi

• judge Douglas's march through the State to a
triumphant ono. No man ever lived who would
over have received one-half the attention that he
now'veoeives. The conduct of the prominent Fe
dora! office-holders in this State is such (whether
approved by the Administration or not) that if
Mr. Buchanan were now a candidate for President,
and the election were to take place to-morrow, he
would not got ono thousand votes in the State of
Illinois. You have no conception of the feeling
that exists here against him. The Democracy
here believe that he is aiding the Republicans,
through his office-holders, to defeat Douglas, and
the effect, so far as the Administration isconcerned,
is the same as if it were true.
Mr. Douglas will be rc•elected in spite .of all
opposition, and nnti•Lecompton mon will be
returned from the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
'and Ninth districts certain; and unless the course
of the Administration is changed soon, you may
expect to see eights in Congress next winter.
The bogus State ticket (Reynolds and Dougher;
ty) cannot get one thousand votes in the State ; in
a majority of the eountiee that ticket will not got
one vote. For myself, 1 ant not an office-seeker.
I have lived here about thirty years; have been

[Oorreepondenee of The Prepqj
July 30, MB
lAs the time approaches for the people of Penn
sylvania again.to decide who shall represent them
in the different offices to be filled at the October
elections, it is natural for the mind to revert to
past events and past lames.
Now, sir, what was the issue between the two
groat political parties of the nation, in 11850, on the
subject of Congressional interference in the Terri
tories? Did not the leaders of the Republican
party emphatically declare that they recognised
the right, and conceived it to be the duty, of Con
gress to prohibit slavery in the Territories
In answer to that doctrine, did not the Demo
cratic party pablish and declare, all over the
lend, the groat (God given) principle of yerutue
sovereignty, inherent on every maul Woe it not
proclaimed by every Democratic , candidate and
every Democratic speaker, and by the entire
Demeoratio press, throughout the length and
breadth of this Republic, that the Cincinnati
platform recognised the right of all the Territo
ries, including Kansas and Nebraska, to regulate
all their domestic institutions in their own way,
subject only to the Constitution of the United
Staten?
WAS that prinoiplo adhered to and carried out
In good faith by the Domooratio party In Congress
during the last session ? I claim that all mem
bers of Congress, who voted for the admission of
Kansas tinder the Lecompton Constitution, viola
ted the prinoiple of popular sovereignty, and by
none more palpably than the member from this
distriei (the Don. James Lcoomptoil C Ilis,) who,
after having emphatically violated the principles
of the Democratic party, has the boldness to again
ask the people of this district to return him to
Congress. Oh! shame, whore is thy blush? Oh!
consistenoy, thou art indeed a joe el ! sow, sir,
under such circumstances, what i 3 the duty of
every true Democrat and lover of his country ?
To me the duty is plain—there is but one alter
native--that Is the ballot-box—there we can
maintain our rights. I have ever bean, and am
still, a Democrat, sustaining Domooratio mon and
Deumoratio mon:lures ; but in thts, and similar
cases, I hold it to bo a duty we, as a people, owe
to ourselves, to posterity, alai our God, to go boldly
and tearlessly to the polls, in Dahmer next, and
there, by virtue of the right guarantied to us by
the lowed our country, deposit our votes against
the man (whoever he may be) who wantonly vio
lated
his pledges, and knowingly and wrongfully
attempted to trample under foot and exttoguith
that vita/ principle that underlies and upholds
the whole strew are of American institutions,
vie : The right of a free people to rule 'themselves.
I am a laboring man, and reside In the county of
Elk ; have known Judge fi llilo for many years ;
know the position he ooaupiod, politically, in 1856;
supported him, and voted for him, then, upon the
principle of popular sovereignty. I know too how
he voted in Congress on the Kansas question, and
that vote I consider a violation of the spirit and
letter of the Kansas-Nebraska act and the Cincln
nati platform, and shall, therefore, use my in
licence and vote to prevent his election ; and 1 - as-
sure yon, there are many more antkLecouipton
Democrats In this district who will do the saute,
provided there is an anti•Lecompton candidate
before the people, notwithstanding the assertion
of the Elk Reporter to the contrary.
Is there not some good anti-Leeompton Demo
crat In this district who will tako the Bold? I
have hastily written my opinion on this subject;
rough hewn as it is, you are at liberty to publish
It if you choose.

in China."
Human VAGAaIES.—A day-dream as often
allows mankindto revel in imaginary enjoyments
as night-dreams, and castle-building is as often
indulged in wakeful moments as in the sweetest
slumbers In those dreams the poor.* mendioant
may be exalted to the rank and dignity of a OAF°,
while the proudest and wealthiest lord may,•by,
the same magical wand, be lowered to the rank of,'
a peasant. Au instanee of day-dreaming—termedr
from the persistent form the vagary has assumed,
monomania—has been chronicled in this city. A
man, calling himself John J. Acton, and who .
claims to have recently returned from California,
where he had accumulated vast wealth, has been
elating our business men with promises of princely
purchases, but only to depress them with a dis
closure of his actual circumstances. Ilia story was,
that he had determined to Settle down in Lancas
ter, in which city he had erected a prinoely man
sion at a cost of $165,000, to furnish which
be was desirous of making provision upon
the same costly scale. The aid of several
of our business men was enlisted for the outfit.
Mr. George IL Henkele, the well-known cabi
net-maker, was called upon to supply the cabinet
furniture, and Mr. Acton proceeded to select ele
gant articles of mahogany, walnut, rosewood, and
oak, to stook the mansion with the needful chairs,
sofas, bedsteads, bureaus, Ac. The bill run up at
Mr. Henkel's store was $lO,OOO, and as the terms
were to be cash on delivery of the goods, Mr. Hen
kel was made a happy man. Mr. W. 11 Oerryl's
establishment was to supply the curtains', which
were selected to the amount of $6,000, and Mr. E.
W. Carryl was honored with an order for the
plate to the amount of $5,01A. Carpets, to the
tune of $2,000, and paper Willing:a to the gam of
$1,500, were also selected. One thousand dollars'
worth of ale was also ordered, besides a large
number of smaller purchases, which were to be
sent to his palatial abode in Lancaster. Nor did
he confine himself to these articles, but, with the
zest of a Wal4street broker, he was ready to
dabble in all kinds of property and stocks. He
was negotiating for the purchase of a Broad-street
mansion for $43,000 ; he had purchased's property
on Chestnut street for $66,000, had bought out a
large board-yard, anti was to subscribe the sum of
$500,000 towards the now hotel on Chestnut
street. One peculiarity of these magnificent ope
rations Is, that he did not attempt to gain posses
sion of any one article of hie many purchases.
When ho awakes from his dream, or halluoina
tion, he may be wiser ; but we venture to say he
was never happier than when revelling in his ima
ginary wealth.
DEATH or * THOMAS D,UHN.—Thomas Dunn,
the custom-house officer who, In company with Mr.
Sholzline, now deceased. contracted an epidemic
disease on board the barque Elizabeth J, died at
hie residence, No. 631 Pine street, below Seventh,
at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. He was vi
sited by a number of medical men, most of whom
pronounced the ease to be yellow fever. The do-
ceased was an Irishman by birth, 38 years of age.
Ho kept a boarding-house tor shoemakers, with
which his house was well tilled, several of them
working in, their rooms. The physicians say there
is no danger whatever of contagion—a fact which
the occupants of the house, as well as the people of
the neighborhood, seem fully to believe, as the
former remain in it, and go in and out as usual,
with Out the least apprehension. .Dunn was taken
froth the barque on Sunday morning. Me was
much better on Thursday, and it was supposed
that he would recover, but he sank rapidly after
midnight until he expired.
TUE Nsw BANKer—The Corn Exchange
Bank has nearly all its capital paid in, and will
golntOOperation in about thirty days. The con
tract for the building, northeast corner of Second
and Chestnut streets, calls for its completion on
September let, by which time it will be ready for
occupancy. Its authorised capital is $125,000,
with a privilege of increasing it to $250,000. No
oleotion of officers has yet been made. It is pretty
certain, however, that Mr. Alexander Cattail will
be its president, and Mr. .3. W. Torrey, formerly
assistant cashier of the West Chester Sank, Its
cashier.
Tho Union Bank Is progressing less rapidly. Its
authorized capital is the same as that of the Corn
Exchange Bank. The first instalment of five
dollars per share has been paid In, and the second
instalment of twontx dollars der share is now
called for. It is oxpeoted to secure accommoda
tions in the new iron front building at Third and
Arch.
TRH MONTGOMERY MURDER CASE.—The
bearing of Woodward, alias Doak, was resumed
yesterday by Alderman Clark. The evidence
elicited nothing in addition to that given at the
rendition of the coroner's inquest at the death of
Mr. Montgomery. which we published at the time.
There was nothing' which the alderman deemed
adequate to warrant him in bolding Woodward as
an acoeisory to Mr. Montgomery's death, but be
committed him to answer the charge of larceny.
Woodward does not appear toenteirtaiti any appre
hensions as to the result. His manner was fall of
levity and assurance. He says that since he left
Philadelphia he has been tending bar in the viol•
nity of Boston, and so far from robbing Mr. Mont
gomery of $l,lOO, he never had half that amount of
money in his life. It is probable that he will pro
cure bail in a short time, if he has not already done
so, as he appears to be surrounded by friends and
sympathisers.
TN E BURGLAR GOLDSTEIN. This man,
whoee arrest at New York we yesterday chroni-
clod, had a hearing yesterday, and was held to
answer. A man named Abraham Davide, nisi a
Jew, was arrested with him in New York, where
they were both charged with numerous robberies.
It is stated that they are both wanted by the au
thorities of Salem, Messaohusetts, for diverts bur
glarious note In that neighborhood. They were
engaged in a series of robberies in Illinois some
years since, where they were finally arrested,
tried, convicted, and rtentenced to the penitentiary
at Alton, from which they were released under a
pardon from Cloveruor Matteson. Sigoe their re
lease they have committed a series of most daring
robberies in the East, which they have made the
scene of their recent operaticins. There appears
to be an organieed band of them, and It will be a
most desirable result to break up their nefarious
schemes of plundor.
ASSESSMENT RTITUNN.—The returns of the
triennial assessments, returnable at the office of
the City Commissioners, ate now nearly completed
The board of revialon will meet in September to
revise the asedesreente made, when thoso whose
interests are involved by them ri,ll kind it advi
sable to attend. The assossmcnts, a..;° °pummeled
in May, and are usually completed to two months.
Parties who commence erecting propertimt in July
have usually escaped assessment for one year,
thus avoiding the payment efjust taxes. Commis-
stoner Leddy, however, ever guardful of the eity's
interests, has bit upon an expedient by whiob this
wrong to the city is now obviated. The building
permits issued by the inspootors ho has recorded
in his books, by which - plan the property Is at
once assessed. Near one million of dollars are
thus paid intolho city treasury, whioh formerly
were overlooked, or kept out by means of a
shrewd dodge on the part of property owners.
hiTERECTINO 1/mos.—During an hour spent
at the City Commissioner's °Moe, we wore kindly
allowed, by Commissioner Leddy, an opportunity
of inspecting a number of old books, pertaining to
city accounts, which were peculiarly interesting.
Ono of them—and the most interesting—is labelled
an 4 ' Estimate or Damages done by the British in
1777 and 1778." The book contains some two hun

Yaasr RAoE.—According to previous an
nounoeinent, a most exciting yacht race came off
on Thursday, between the yachts "ISll,"
" Wray," and "Ealing." At half-past 12 o'clock
they started from the upper wharf at Gloucester
fora run to Metter buoy and back—the prize
silver goblet. In starting the "hill" and
" Wray" shot about a hundred yards ahead of
the "Ealing," but at Red Bank their positions
were directly reversed, the "Ealing" leading both
the other eampotitors about the distance gained
by them at starting. After various changes of
position, the " Wray" came in winner by a few
foot, the "Ealing," which appeared to held a ll
the advantage, being compelled to go to leeward
to avoid a long tow." The race was a most ox
citing and bravely contested one, and eliolted no
little interest In &patio circles.
DISTRICT SouooLs.—The neighborhoods of
the several district schools, unfitly so buoyant and
active with juvenile forms and sports, at present
are exceedingly quiet, in consequence of the sum
mer vacation. Although often annoying, we long
for a return of the hosts of happy, smiling young-
stars, ,hose tiny sports and prattle have such an
enlivening tendency in the neighborhoods of the
respective city sohools.
SBA BATHING.—Two trains will leave Vine
street wharf this afternoon, at 4 and 6.35, for At
!antic City, where the Sabbath can be passed
moat profitably and comfortably. Those who were
frightened from the beach by the storm a few
days since. will wish themselves back again in
tho surf when they notice their thermometers.
ANOTHER. MAD Doa.—A mad dog—a large I
and ferocious animal—was discovered, yesterday
morning, in the cellar of the Girard Bank, Into
which he had gained an entrance by means of a
window open.ng into the yard. lie was with some
difficulty killed.

AN EXCITING SONNE.-IVB learn, from a
correspondent, that the fashionable notion of sal
oide bas found its way into the fashionable circles
of at least one glimmer resort. At one -of these,
knoin to,tbepleiuture-seeking world as "Deal,"
quite an exciting goene occurred, a few days since,
aging with somothing more than the wonted
life those who bash in the happy, genial pleasures
of this famous, but quiet retreat. no house at
Deal stands some four hundred and fifty yards
from the sea, between which there Is a walk
some seven feet wide, which serves as the tho
roughfare. Near the beach, to prevent the walk
from being filled with sand by passing wagons,
two upright pieces of timber are erected, about
eight feet in height, with a cross-piece near the
top. An interesting young Philidelphia lady,
having fallen deeperately in love with .a gentle
man, whose attentions were monopolised by a
couple of Newyork ladies—albeit he was a faith
ful and devoted attendant until their arrival—
resolved to make it the last limo that she should
be so gaily deceived. At the hour for bathing two
ladies and gents were on their_way to the bench,
when, horror-stricken, they beheld dangling from
the cross beam (which, 'since the occurrence, has
been named "Lover's Swing,") the form of a lady
in her bathing dress. She was at mime reeog=
nixed by the party as "the lady in love." The gen
tlemen quickly lowered the lady by severing the
rope by which she was suspended, and carried her
to the arbor on the beach, when it was discovered
that her pulse was actively beating. By the ap
plication of some water to her face, and rubbing
her wrists, she speedily revived ; and in less than
half an hour she was seen dashing about in the
surf—none more full of life and spirits than she.
Since the above occurrence, which has been the
current topic of conversation among the-guests at
Deal, it has been rumored that a gentleman from
a neighboring city attempted
_to "shuffle off this
mortal coil" at the same place; but the facie being
in the possession of hie immediate Mende, it bee
beau impossible to learn the clause which impelled
him to the rash act
Carr LICIENna.—The City Commissioners
experience some difficulty, under the new license
law, in consequence of there being no deuce in
serted granting them power to issue licenses at all
times during the year. Under the tali they must

This oversight in framing the law has occasioned
disappointment to a large number of applicants.
Some twenty-three hundrod and thirty have been
already lined. The general impression was that
licenses could be issued at all times throughout
the year; but Judge Knox, Attorney General,
has decided that in Philadelphia they can only be
granted at the times specifically named In:the seo
lion pertaining to this city.
ROBBERY OF A SIIOR STORE.—Yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock, two colored boys wore
observed by Officer Smith to enter the shoe store
of Mrs. Rose, in Locust street, above Twelfth. As
their actions exalted hie suspicions, he kept an
eye upon them, and presently saw ono of them
open the show ease and slip several pairs of oboes
into his coat-pocket, while his eompanion guarded
a door leading Into the dwelling part of the house.
The lade were taken into enstody and brought to
the central station, where they were looked up for

Letter from New York.
(Correspondence of The Press.
Nsw YORK, August 0, 1858.
The reign of the rulers is getting terrible
Three editors (Southworth, Cauldwell, and Whit
ney, of the Sunday Ilfereuty) were to-day held
to bail, for an alleged libel against Street Commis
sioner Cooper, In obarging him with having a pe
cuniary interest in certain contracts fur building
materials. This, with the indietments that are
promised against 'Wilkes of the "Spirit," and
Jobson of the "Red Flog," will keep the repnti•
tiona of people before the public for some time to
come. Poor Branch has been taken to his quar
ters at Blankwell's Island, and is now deprived of
his luxuriant whiskers, and invested with peniten
tiary motley. Thus is the majesty of law vindica
ted, and the spotlessness of °welders made a Axed
fact.
Meantime, all minor things are forgotten in
congratulatory communion concerning the great
telegraphic enterprise of the age. ,To-night there
will be illuminations at the Merchant's Exchange
and the telegraph' offices, and a general celebra
tion of the auspicious event of laying the cable
will take place throughout . our city and State
Well! let us hope that no disappointment will
ensue, and that the message of " Peace on

The Kirkpatrick Poisoning Case.
No VERDICT.—The C 920 of Robert B. Kirk
pstriok and others, charged with a conspiracy to
poison Edwin and family, was given to the jury on
Thursday afternoon, after an able charge by Judge
Allison The court met yesterday morning, but
the jury sent word that they bad not agreed, and
that, there wss no probability of their agreeing.
The court thereupon adjourned to meet this morn
ing, at 10 o'clook. It is the general opinion that
the jury will not agree; at least not as to all the
defendants.
QUAELTBR Ruston,—Judge Ludlow.—William
White, a young man, was convicted of ,malioious
mischief. The testimony showed that White was
an apprentiee, and taking umbrage at something
said or done, went up stairs and out up slaty dol
lars' worth of wearing apparel
Mary Cardoll, a middle-aged Irish woman, is
keeper of a den in the neighborhood of Seventh
and St. Mary street. A fight occurred in her
Mace, in whioh Ann Wood was badly beaten.
The testimony did not .show that Mary struok a.
blow. Verdict not guilty.
Barney Williams was oonvioted of stealing ten
pounds of beef.
Yesterday morning, Meer Sohlemm, who made
the arrest of Michael Kerr, the Individual ac
quitted, by reason of the officer's absence, stated
to Judge Ludlow that be was Galled away from the
city by important official business, and that that
fast was known to the Distriet Attorney. He said
that Kerr, the defendant, had been in prison since
the 12th of July, and that he had gone before the
Grand Jury, and upon his oath a true bill was
found.
The Judge said that the fault was not in the
officer, _ but in the Dietriot Attorney, in calling it
up without first ascertaining that the witnesses
were present.
Sarah Ann Miller; colored, who was charged
with milting fire to two barns belonging to Dr.
Trelekle, died in prison recently. She was to
have been tried at the present term of the court.

Pnuannt.rp;a, August 8,1838.
Stooks were heavy tod a y again, and the anionnt
of sales limited. OI.V sixes were unchanged ;
State fives improved to 90; North America Bank
stock sold. at/291: Girard at , 111 ; other and fa

yesterday at 24, and sold up to 241, wont down
again to-day to 24.
The operations in the stook of the Reading Rail

,4 There seems no eagerness to sell by the usual
means resorted.to in - a dull state: of the market,
snob as extending credits or reduoing prices.- The
future is trnsted; and though late, a good demand
Is yet anticipated. Southern and western buyers
are making purohasee. Prints and delaine are in
good supply, of varied assortments. Staple_ Cot
ton spode are firm in price, with a steady demand.
Farley eassitneres of prime qualities continue in
good demand at full prices, but inferior kinds are
dull. The shawl trade has been checked by the
prospect of the large stook of the Bay State:Mille
Company being thrown speedily on the market.
ft is beginning to be feared that the Importations
will be larger than are warranted by the state of
the trade, and that speculations hare been made
on a resumptive of act active demand this fall be
yond what wilt take place. Importers have not
oaiculated properly the consequences of shorten

four. One consequent. is certain, that the pur
chases will be smaller, and deferred to the latest
period "
