Mr. Cyrus Field's Journal.
Yesterday we published one of the most re
markable, important, and interesting docu
ments ever communicated to the public by the I
prem. This was the daily journal, or log- I
hook, of the Atlantic Telegraph Expedition,
supplied by Mr. Cr eel W. FIELD, who was
the ilia and soul, the heart and muscle of the
great experiment, now so gloriously surmount
ed by the 'diadem of success. It relates the
conquest of Old Ocean, and surely never had
poet, or historian, or philosopher a nobler
deed than this to commemorate. What ho has
no greatly helped to do rimy well be consider
ed the heroin Epic of this every-day life of
ours. With that simplicity and modesty which
almost Invariably characterize great merit,
Mr. Finn puts forth his brief summary under
the name of fc Daily Journal." But bow much
does it narrate! Not Commons himself, when
he discovered that Now World of which he
Lad thought by (to and dreamed by night,
during the weary years of more than half his
struggling life-time, could have chronicled
loftier achievements than aro so briefly, yet so
impressively, recorded by Mr. Emus.
That daily journal, which bas already been
eagerly perused by millions In this country,
and will be translated Into every language and
every dialect in foreign lands, simply traces
the whole course of that last experiment,
which so few hoped maid terminate favorably
as it has done. In every country whore Civi
lization has reared her el Excelsior" banner,
and In many places where she is yet unknown,
this abort and Simple record will be eagerly
read. In the luxurious East, In• the spicy
groves of Ceylon, In the yet althoit nntrodden
plains of Australia, in the Icy altitudes of Si
beria, in the sandy deserts of. Africa, in the
vast-extended plains of South America, in
every part of Europe, In the multitudinous
islards of the Pacific—by sea and by land, in
camp and court, in the cottage as well as In
the palace, Mr. Flues unassuming but most
affecting narrative will be road, and will be re
. read, labile language is perpetuated by print
ing, far , Into the great eternity of all More
mundane time.
It is, indeed, one of the greatest composi
tions ever published—so brief, so concen
trated, and yet so very explicit and eloquent
in that brevity and concentration. A great
Intellect, deeply imbued with the finest spirit
of humanity, has evidently been employed
upon It. The achievement which it rocords
required a great mind to trace its final steps,
day by day, hour by hoar, until the glorious
consummation came.
Compared with Ms, bow feeble and how
diffuse appear all,the despatches and prods-
Mations of mighty conquerors! The narra
tives of Xxxoruos and Musa, brilliant as
we base been used to account them, seem
dull beside this meat unpretending o daily

each on Its different route, on July 29th,
until the, morning, Of August 4th, when the
Niagara reached the entrance of Trinity Bay,
what suspense must Mr. Fine and every
ether person on board beep subjected to!
What watchful, doubtl ng, hoping, weary hours
must they not have felt Even at .the very
last, a single MOO In the working would have
ruined ill. We trace anxiety all through Mr.
Fzesa's narrative. Every moment, : in-shprt,
was hill of fearltil and exciting Interisi. As
the poet says,
- 'tr Moments llke to these ,
Bend seta' s lived Isto Imkoortalltlee."
A gracious Providence ruled over all, and
they recognised it. Here is one of the last
passages in Mr. Fiztres Journal, to our taste
a thousapd times more religions than it he had
written a column of mere words about It :,

New York Amenities of Justice.
In another column will be found a narrative
which admirably illustrates the manner in
which justice is done in the adjacent city of
Now York. The proprietor of a newspaper
was brought before one Justice Osuonnu (we
bad nearly written "Justice Shallow ") at
the Tombs, charged with having libelled two
of the lmmaculates who wear aidermanic
gowns in the GUI Hall. We particularly
draw attention to the • manner in which Mr.
GRIMY, a lawyer, tt pitched into" the de
fendant. The erdphatic way in which he Ell-
Unmated the accused is worth notice, and
the poodliar force of tho expletives with
which he larded his remarks will readily be
appreciated. It Is Atte to Justice 09110 RAN
to state that he stopped Gasman—when he had
concluded. But be did not' commit him for
contempt of court, neither did he fine him for
swearing! Verily, Now York is a great place
—to live out of.
Yesterday, atter a needlessly prolonged
trial of 34 days, the jury in what Is called cc the
Kirkpatrick poisoning case," delivered their
iord let. Two of the accused were acquitted;
two more were con.iCted, upon two counts of
an indictment consisting of thirteen, of -" as
sault and battery with intent to kill." If we
understand the case rightly, the prisoners
were scouted of attempting to kill by potson—:-
therefofe, the asianit must be constructive!
The verdict in the family quarrel reminds us
of that deliv il era by a Welsh Jury in tho case
of a prisoner chaigctl with burglary. It ran
thus, "Not guilty of burglary, but we find him
guilty of getting out of the window."

stated that they were generally expected to be on
their stands, with their supplies, by the last of
August or Stet week of September. In order to
do this, they were compelled to make their pur
chases early in this mouth ; and as there are, at
present, fewer Southern merchants in our city
than there have been heretofore, at this season, it
'has been received by many as an unfavorable au
gury for a prosperous season. But there are facts
explanatory of this. Heretofore the routes to

As an Matinee of this: From New Orleans
there is a continuous route, through Mississippi,
Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, &0.,
to all Eastern cities; while, both from all lower
Mississippi towns and the interior of its bordering

who relished bete from his home, a few miles from

Alderman Reetre affidavit of complaint says :
"Further alleged libellous matter is sot forth in
a picture representing Alderman Rood in the garb
of a butcher,
with a party of Irishmen driving a
miserable and diseased looking cow; without tail
or horns, tip to hie stall. The leader of the party,
Mr. Mtke O'Flanuagan, is represented as saying :

Mr. Graham stated to the court that he desired
to compel Leslie to give 99,590 bail in each case ;
- in two of the oases to keep the peace for twelve
mouths, and abstain from publishing any inore

to say that they intended to show these English

Mr. Graham. "The only question is, are two
gentlemen, to be continually libelled by these Eng-.
fish transports? They contaminate the air. If
I stay in the room with them much longer, I shall
suffocate, [pointing to them.] to what mean
looking English thieves they are!"
At this juncture, a gentleman who, we believe,
is Mr. Leslie's printer, got up and told Mr. Gra
ham be tenet not speak to him in that way. This
style of conversation continued some time longer,
but did not lead to any brooch of the peace, at.
' though it was evident that Mr. Graham needed
but a very small provocation to make him take off
his coat and '• go tn."
Mr. Leslie gave the required bail to keep the
peace. justifying himself in $5,000, and two sure
; ties of $2,500 each. Messrs. Samuel B. Sherwood
' and Alexander became his bail.
Judge Osborne put a stop to farther altercation,
I and all proceedings were postponed until about
two o'clock, when Mr. Ashmead appeared es the
conning of Mr.Leate, and several gentlemen toady
; to become bail.
Mr. Ashmead asked that thecae° be allowed to
go over for a few days, inasmuch as he was obliged
to leave town immediately, and be wished also
to look at some of the points that might arise on
the question. In the meantime, Mr. Leslie wee
prepared to give bail to any amount for his ap
. pearanee at the time which might be agreed upon
for the examination.
Mr Graham objected to the proposition of
Mr. Ashmead, and demanded that Mr. Leslie
leekt,glyekliggls nonce for his go od
. behavior,

I tending that, were Mr. Leslie merely held to bail
Ptr his appearance to answer the charges already
preferred, ho might mime out with another batch
of libels in the next issue of his newspaper.
Mr. Ashamed objected to any each emotes, as
it was assuming that Mr. Leslie w as R idley o f
libel he fore the question had been passed upon by
a Lary, and that it was his intention to repeat
the assumed guilty offence, which they had no
right to do.
Judge Osborn called Mr. Aeltmead'a attention
to the section of the revised statutes previously re
ferred tn. relative to the powers of the magistrates
of New York.
Mr. Admead replied that he did not deny the
power of Judge Osborn to demand the recogni•
z Ince. although be bad never known anything like
it before ; but he had made a most reasonable re
quest in asking to have the matter lie over for two
days, and orateldered that it was pushing the
affair too far in refining it.
Mr. Graham. This man is now under two re.
I cognisance!, and it would not be fair to give him
another opportunity of libeling and caricaturing
I respectable citizens. I am opposed to showing
him the least lonioney whatever. IMr. G. here
become again somewhat excited, and proceeded to
call 111 r. Leshe pretty hard names, when Justice
Osborn told him that he must stop making use of
I such language.]
Judge Osborn stated that he should require Mr.
Leslie (as the case then stood) to give bonds In the
sum of 55,000, being $2 500 'on ette.h of the two
complaints, or he could have an immediate exami
nation on the charges preferred, if desired, but
I there must be some guarantee that no more libel
! lone matter should be published.
Mr. Ashmead objected to giving bonds for fur
ther good behavior, until alter an examination
on the charges could be had, not later than Wed
nesday next; in the meantime, bail to any extent
should be given for the forthcoming of Mr. Leslie
at the appointed time. Ills then left court to at
tend to prinr engagements elsewhere.]
Judge Osborn then remarked that unless the
required bonds were given, he should feel it In.
I cumbent upon him to commit Mr. Leslie to the
(Tombs.
I. The affidavits of Aldermen Reed and Tooth:dr,
the alleged libellous matter, were then
read, and created considerable amusement among
those present.
Judge Osborn informed Mr Wile that be bad
the right to cross.examine the complainants if he
desired to do so.
Mr. Leslie declined a cross examination of the
Aldermen, and inquired of Judge Osborn 'if he
thought the amount of bail required was not ex
erosive.
Judge Osborn replied that it was not excessive,
inasmuch as the affidavits embraced ao less than
eight different charges of libel.
Mr. Leslie, after a brief consultation with some
of his friends fa large number of whom were pre
sent) informed Judge Osborn that be bad conclu
ded to act against the judgment of bin counsel and
give the required amount of bail in the case, and
gave the names of Messrs. Alexander Douglass and
Samuel S. Sherwood as his sureties.
Cir. Graham examined them with refererice to
their pecuniary affairs, and being answered sada ,
factorily on tbat point, inquired of those gentle
men if they ware aware of the responsibility they
were assuming in the matter, to which interroga
tory They replied that they were perfectly aware
of what they were doing, and steed the nem
eery papers, apparently much to the surprise and
chagrin of the complainants

MEETING Or JOURNEYMEN TAlLolol.—Ac
cording to a call, signed by A. N. Molineaux, a
meeting of journeymen tailors, numbering some
one hundred and fifty, was held last evening at
the Sansom•atreet Hall. The object of the meet
ing, as stated by the President, Mr. Stephen
Breen, was to take preliminary steps to the forma
tion of a Tailors' National Protective Union. The
President stated that a correspondence had been
carried on with every Tailors' Protective Union
In the country upon the subject of 'the proposed
organization. It was further stated that in Boil
ton a similar organisation bad been effected. num
bering some three hundred at its first meeting;
and it was deemed neeeitary,Ter their own pro
tection, that an organisation should be had in
Philadelphia. The most encouraging letters were
read from kindred societies in different sections of
the Union.
After a spirited spoeoh by Mr. John M. Leech, a
scale of prices was introduced and adopted, as that
to which the compliance of employers was to be
requested.
After some other unimportant business, the
meeting adjourned.
NoT BENEFITED BY THE CITANGB.—The
citizens of Frankford do not appear to bo much bene

It Is stated that the fare in the omnibuses was 845
per annum ; in the ears it le $62 GO, white the Ger
mantown and Norriatown Railroad Company only
charge $3O to the former, and $35 to the latter
place. They are, therefore, petitioning the
Fifth and Sixth Street Passenger Railway Com.
pany for a reduction of the ordinary fare of daily
passengers. We hope the company will find it to
their interests—as unquestionably they will—to
favorably consider tho petition.

company, who charges them with a conspiracy to
cheat and defraud the stockholders of said emu
-pany in nit sum of $103.777, and to appropriate
said money to their own purposes.
It appears that about the middle part of the
year 1854, Stephen Colwell and W. D. Bell, of this
city, owners of a largo tract of land in Now Jer
sey, called the Weymouth Furnace tract, adver
tised the property for sale at $5 per acre, and it
was understood that they would give a COMMinioll
of $lO,OOO or $20,000 to any agent who would ao•
complish a sale at that price.
Messrs. Matleok and Allen, above referred to,
and Mr. Landis, formed a league to purchase the
ssme, but not having the means, it is charged
,That they entered into secret arrangements with
Colwell h 801 l for the land at. sl.so.per acre for
that part fronting upon tho railroad, one mile
deep, and $5 per acre for the balance.
About the came time Matlack, Allen, and Lan
dis published a prospectus, and invited the public
to purohase shares, having, however, first appoint
ed. officers, arid chosen themselves trustees. Meet
ings were subsequently held, a constitution adopt
ed, and a committee appointed to purchase the
land. Messrs. Matleek, Allen, and Landis were
said committee. They resolved that the land could
be had for Sib, which was theininimum figure. It
was therefore purobased at 510 per acre, and the
deeds were made to them as trustees of the Wey
mouth Farm and Agricultural Boolety. It is then
alleged that public, meetings' mere bold, and in
every care, when asked, the said trustees are said
invariably to have roprerented that they had no
more interest in the company than tiny other stook-
holder—that the land woe bought by the company
direct from Mr. Colwell—that there were no inter
mediate parties--their only .interest being in direct
ratio to the stook held by eaoh. , , ,
On . the faith of these 'assertions, it ie alleged
hat Allen was allowed $1,500 a year to'aet as
secretary. In Ootober, 1855; suspicion being rife
that all was not as bad been represented, this
salary WB B largely reduoed
As soon as the farms wore surveyed, ilia alleged
that the defendants offered a novel plan of distri
bution, which was adopted by the members. A
committee appraised and fixed a value on each
farm. The farms were then offered by outcry at a
meeting, and whoever offered the highest sum, by
way of premium. had the choice of location.
The plaintiff hero charges that the defendants
perpetrated a fraud by their contract with Col
well and Bell ; that they had reserved all the co.
dar upon a portion of the tract for the next five
years. While selling the choice of location; it is
charged that the defendants notified the members
of this foot only after the reserved part was sold,
which bad the effect of "killing the premium"
upon the part where good cedar was, which was
not reserved, and It is alleged all the good cedar
land unreserved fell Into their hands at little or
no premium.
The complainants state that the company came
to an end, that the land reverted to Messrs. Col
well Bell, and that the stookholders lose every
penny of their money, as well as their labor.
The hearing of the case came off before Alder
man Megonigal yesterday afternoon, in the pre
sence of a throng of people, most of whom were
stockholders in the concern.
In oommenoing the case, Mr. George 11. Earle,
for the plaintiff, demanded the books of the [com
pany, to be used as evidence.
Mr. E. M. Paxton, counsel for the defendants;
deolined to prodnoe the books, upon the grodnd
that the defendants were the custodians of the
books, and that, in the absecoe of any persons bet
ter authorized to reeeive them, he had advised hie
clients not to produce them. •
The Alderman doubted his power to compel the
production, when Mr. Earle for the present waived
tho request.
The following testimony was then elicited:

the stockholders gave them the bonds for their trouble;
I toured him this wee false; bond No 9 was for
$13,040; I told him I had asked Mr. Allen what cons.

he said nothing more then the increased value of the
land; that he bad ten shares, and expeoted the com

credit on hie own book ,• Matlack appears to have born
sold out by the sheriff shortly after that; I know little
of his private affairs; in a conversation with Matieek
he asked it we were going to call a ',pedal meeting,

to petition the lagialatore of New Jersey for
a charter; Mr. Allen and , Landis said that the
Macaynek people were to come. and- settle there,
and that Eastern manufacturers also were. coming
to settle there; (great laughter in the audience;) they
tad that a court house wee to be erected at once ; (re

Mr. Earle offered a declaration of tract to Matlack,
Allen, and Lsndie by Colwell and Bell, dated January,
1968, of the land above referoed to.
Mr. Colwell and Mr. Bell were called for, but were
both out of the elle. Mr. Bunn! appeared for them,

The following letters—the fast from the Outran

of the barque Elizabeth J.—with reference to the
movements of that vessel'and, the coaxes of city
etfielals, which have resulted so disastrously and
occasioned so such exciitemerii, will' be - read with
interest by our readers, all,ef
,whom have, doubt
less, kept pica with the newspaper disoussions
the subject. The letters wilrexplain themselves ;
and if, in our strietures upon the supposed cen
surable conduct of the Lazarette officers,' we have
done any one injustice, we are willing to make all
necessary amends.:
LAranytTre, Aug. 9,1858.
To the Editor of ths. Press :
DEAR, Sin : Your. Loud reporter his been-par
ticularly severe upon the officers of the Lazaretto
station for permitting, es is alleged,' certain Ves
sels to . go to the city with yellow fever on board.
There is evidently a misunderatandins of the sub
jeot, or I tun sure such manifest injustice would not
have been done to those who hold office' at this
Medea. - The facts, within my own knowledge, are
simply theee:
Abe barque "Elizabeth 3„" from Havana, ar
rived at quarantine on the 11th of July, and was
boarded by the physician in chaise; Dr. Filbert,
who was informed by the captain that the second
mate hod died at sea, and that one of the sailors
wee then sick with what he supposed to be yellow
fever,ss the barque was from au infected port.
The sick man was immediately sent to the hoapi
tal on the island, and the vessel was ordeied lobe
cleansed and thoroughly ventilated, the - doctor
and quarantine master visiting her daily up to
the 19th of. July, when the former took sick and
was unable to perform duty. The Board of Health
Immediately sent Dr. Brown to the LazOret'o to
attend to the duties of the place. At the request of
Dr. Jewell, the medical attendant of Dr. Filbert, be
left the station on the 25th of July, for the-pur
pose of improving his health, and on the 29th of
the same month he returned to the Lazaretto.
During his absence the barque was permitted by tte
Board of Health to go to the city, although Dr.
Filbert hod issued express orders, previous to his
leaving, not to permit her up for some time.
I hove been a esident of the Lasaretto for
twenty-five years, and in that time have held the
office of quarantine master for three years. Since
I have been acquainted with the station, I am free
to say; that I have never knovin a more prompt
and efficient officer, or one More careful in the dis
charge of the duties incumbent on him, than Dr.
Filbert. lie has been unremitting in his attention,
and until stricken down by, sicknesa, levoted his
whole time to the performance of his official trust.
He is, of course, subject to the control pf the Board
of Health, who may order evened out of hie custody
at env. time. Had be the sole charge, no fear
need be entertained that say malignant or eon
teginus disease would be brought to the city by
vessels from foreign porta. r
My only object in! addressing you is to place the
matter in Its proper light, , and do justice to a faith
ful and gentlemanly officer.
Yours truly, . JACOB PEPPER.
BARQUE: BLUM:WiII J. ), LAZARETTO, Aug. 9, 1858.
COL. JOAN W. FORNEY.
SIR: I have seen many articles written about
the barque "Elizabeth J," most of which are false
and untrue, and consider it my duty to give a true
statement of the matter;io that fault- will, lay
whore it belongs.
The barque Elisabeth J..lefillavana on the
80th June, and arrived here on the 11th July.
When we left Havana, myself, seoond mate. and
three others, were down with yellow fever. Four
teen hours out from Havana, William Westcott,
second mate, died ; and the rest of us recovered
before we arrived , here. The seventh day out
John Dorsey (seaman). took sick, and was put,
.into the hospital, immediately on our arrival, by
order of Dr. Filbert, where be died on the 19th
July. This ,is all the yellow fever we had. On
our arrival at this plane, we were boarded by the
doctor and quarantine master, and Ordered to have
the vessel well ventilated, whioh order WAS ful
filled. Dr. Filbert visited us every day, Unto the
19th July, the day he took sick, and was -unable
to attend to duty. On the 28th July, Dr. Filbert,
being able to be out of bed, was advised to leave
the station- by hie physician. Dr. Jewell. Before
leaving, Dr. Filbert advised the Board of Health
to be on their guard about permitting the vessel
to town. The day after the doctor left, we were
permitted up; therefore it was no fault of 'Dr.-
Filbert, nor the quarantine master.. I must say
. for Dr. Filbert, that he is the most particular
Lazaretto physician that I have ever met in any
port, and if be and the quarantine master had full
ohargo of. this stetson, the city wonld be guarded
against malignant diseases. Cn the 27th we ar
rived in Philadelphia, discharged our oargo, and
took the vessel to. Cooper's Creek,N. J.,.t0 lay her
up and paint. From there we were sent book to
the Lazaretto on the 4th of Augnet. The Ledger
has bad me reported dead at different times. but I
am stilt living and ent9ying excellent health. :•
Yours respectfully, ,
Ronny Mullane,
Mate of Barque Elisabeth J.
RUMORED SET-TO.—ThOTO
,were current ru
mors. yesterday of a prize fight between two
shoulder-hitters of Kensington. One retiort had
it that the set-to was to- come off at day-break,
near Chestnut Hill, and another that the encoun
ter was totake place at some point down theriver--
.the_ vties bming gone thitherin a shallop for that
purpose. VOIISItt...-.1.1._.-osoltatullAt to
exist among the ofancies'' ..by this movement in
the sporting world. The first rumor, it seems,
proved correct, as the fight did ocour.in the quiet
looality of Chestnut Hill. The parties;proceeded
to a retired spot near the Wiseahleon, known as
"Jouidan's Hollow," and after all' the aerial .pre
. _
Deaneries and , appointment of seconds,- bottle
holders, etc., stripped to the waist, proimeded to
their brutal paastime. Some two hundred of the
worst-looking chaps imaginable accompanied the
,
principals. The fight took place about six o'clock,
early enough to escape the interference of the
police, and has very naturally -excited the ire 'of
the peaceful residentiof thieloollitY. It Is tin•.
oerely to be hoped that, as the police were - not on
the ground to prevent this outrage in oar 'midst,
they may be sucoeisful in ferrotting out . all eon
earned in it, and bringing them to justice. The
particulars of the disgraceful scene' we have not
been able to glean. • . ,
FIRE AT Friateustran.—A dettretetlYe ' lire
occurred on Sunday night, about It o'olock; on the
estate of Mr. George Castor, deceased, on- the
Delaware, :a short distance above the Frankford
arsenal. A large- barn on the estate was set on
fire, and destroyed, with all its contents, being
full of grain and hay. Besides these, a home,
eider-press, and other property were destroyed;
but the entire lose, it is said, is covered by Inect
ranee. A colored man, recently engaged on the
farm, but who- had been discharged, was seen
loitering about the plaoe under suspicious oirounV
stances shortly before the fire broke out. He was
arrested, and was to have had a . hearing before
Alderman Elliott, of Feankford, at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.

TERRIBLY: AYFAIrt.-EIGIIT BOYS RIOT BY AK
OLD Max.--The Pittsburgh Journal of Saturday
has the following partioulars of an unfortunate
eff dr:
Mr. Robert McCurdy, an old and woll•known
citizen, resident on Carpenter's alloy, on the east
side of the Trinity Church greundt, was married
yo•terday afternoon to a young lady ofeomo twenty
three or twenty.four years. Mr. McCurdy is said
to be over sixty years of age. This disparity In
the ages of the couple excited remark among the
neighbors, who expressed their feelings without
reserve, at what they considered an unnatural
union. It seems that the boys fully sympathized
with the feelings of the older people. In the
evening a number 'of, them, perhaps fifteen or
twenty, gathered about Mr. McCurdy's residence,
and commenced pelting the house with brickbats
and stones, some of which were' thrown through
the windows and doors. Mr.' McCurdy went out
and remonstrated with ihein, warning them to go
away, brit, they paid; o attention , so biro.
The company present were mush alarmed, fear
ing personal injury, from the mob Without. Mr.
McCurdy then seised a pistol, heilvily loaded with
shot, and fired upon the crowd, wounding, as we
are informed, eight of tho boys. Two of. these are
named David
and James Sims, 801181 of Mr. David
Shrk.dn - Virgla alloy. Their feet, legs, anti thighs
are literally owned with shot wounds, and their
,infurles are very severe., Six other .boys were
slightly wounded. Their names are es follows: J.
Shortly, Tunnoll street ; Paul McWilliams, Sixth
street; James Dunavan, High street; William
and Edward McKeever, Strawberry alloy; and
William Daily, Church allay. Mr. oCurdy was
anew ed.
The affair Is an unfortunate one, and will bring
regret and anguish to all concerned in it. That
the boys committed a gross outrage in assailing
the house as they did. uo one will deny; that Mr.
MeCurdy did right in taking the law into his own
bands, we will not affirm—but no 0110101 regret
the oecurremee . more than be. He has been a
resident of this city fer - nearly . foity years, end
has borne the diameter of a 'peaceable citizen,
He wee for many years the sexton of Trinity
Church. •
An affair took place on Monday, in De
Einow, Tiptoe county, Terin., between Esq. McCur
ry and Mines Carter, who has a small farinon the
Elbow. Carter was killed, and McGarry' danger.

PHILADELPHIA MARKETS, August o—Evening
Breadstuffs still remain about the . same. The
Piourmarket continues very inactive; there is no
inquiry for eiport, and prisms rule about the s•'me,
sales being only to supply the home trade, at from
$125x4 50 for old stook !wean°, $1.75a5 for
fresh ground do, the latter made tram new Wheat;
$4.87 1 ia5.25 for extra; and $5.5046 25 per bbl for
extra, family and fancy lots, as to brands and
freshness. Of Corn Meal, which is scarce, a wale
of 100 bbls Pennsylvania Meal was made at 84
per bbl, which establishes an advaro 3. Rye Flour
commands $3.50 per bbl. Wheat—There is no
change, with light receipts, and sales to notice ;
about 2,000 bus have been disposed of at 1204250
for fair to prime red, and 110a1430 for white.
Rya is in demand at 72a75 cents for old and 415
cents for new. Corn—There is rather more offer
ing to-day, and buyers are holding off for lower
prices; slal 02 is asked for good Yellow, the latter
of lots afloat, without finding buyers. Oats are
steady, with further sales of 3,500 bushels new
Southern at 30. cents. Sark—Quereitron is in
steady demand; a further small sale was made at
$33 per ton for Ist No. 1. Ootton—Thero is very
little doing and no change worthy of note is
prices. Orocories and Provisions—There is not
snuck doing, owing to the smallness of she stock
o f the former and the high tares now current.
Seeds are also quiet; about 60 bushels Cloverseed
only have been disposed of, at 85 25 per bushel ;
Timothy is a^lling at $2 25 per bushel. Whiskey
continues scarce and on the advance; sales of
barrels at 28 cents and Drudge at 20 cents per
