Vol 3, pp. 358 purports, an inquiry* and only an inquiry* im~ 1 °f negro slavery in the-United States, preceded by an historical sketch of slavery itself. While disclaiming any polUioal or seotional pur pose, our author maintains ttfat no organized Go vernmont has, ever been so barbarous (we quote his language) as not to introduce slavery among its oustoms, and, in a paroxysm of love for the in stUution,itself, be exclaims that it has been “ more universal than marriage, and more permanent than liberty.” , The. Deluge is bis starting point, as the most reoent date that ho is willing to admit. This opinion he bases' on the fact that one of the inmateß of the ark beoame a “ sorvant of ser vants;” whence ho concludes tbo oune of Ham is now being exeouted upon his descendants, In the enslavement of the negio ra°°! Bub oven this conclusion he qualifies by the assertion that the oonditlon of servitude must have existed prior to the flood. The slave trade, ho thinks, must have beon pursued at a very oarly day, even in the patriarchal period of tbo human raoe, beoause Joseph was twice sold—onoe to the Midianitisb merchants, and again in Egypt. Slavery being thus presented to Mr. Cobb, sanctified with the earliest blessings of tbo patriarchs and prophets, is taken up and trentod by him with all the ardor of an enthusiast. Ho shows how it existed among the Jews; next to thorn the ancient Egyptian share tho claim of antiquity. Then ho traoes its history in India, in Assyria, among tho Medes and Persians, in China and Japan, jn Groeoo and Homo, and afterwards in Europe, during the mid dle ages; and thus he is led to oonsidor slavery in Great Britain, and thenco tho transition is oasy to an examination into negro slavery and tho slave trAde, and finally to the history of slavery in the United States. In executing this part of bis task our author gives proof of extensive reading and research; and if, in following him through some of his ohapters, we are sometimes obliged to smllo at the faliaoy of his deduo tlons, we are nevertheless forced to credit his sinoority, and admiro tho ingenuity of his arguments. Bat here is a declaration we cannot admit in point of foot, nor approve in point of morality: “ While slavery, says our author, in name isextinot, slavery in foot exists on the Con tinent (of Europe), and must continue to oxist until enlightenment shall have driven intellectual darkness from the 'earth, and religion shall have ohanged so oompletely tho hoart of man, that everyone shall bo contented to occupy that sphoro for whioh his nature fits him.” (rntro. oxix, exx ) But, notwithstanding this profound rovorenoe for slavery in every form, our author does really seem to believe that if a negro slave has a body to be scourged, he also has a soul to bo savod. And this is a concession on his part whioh we feel bound gratefully to acknowledge. Tho soul of a stave, it seems, does not pass under a bill of sale. - In refereno'e to abolition in the United 1 States, our author grows quite molanoholy in contemplating the sad oonditlon of the freo negro He says, that in order to obtain accurate informa tion be sent a circular to the Governors and lead• ing politicians of tho non-slaveholding States, ilo gives their answers in a condensed form, togothor with the names of his correspondents. The reply from Rhode Island is, “ they are generally indue* trious and frugal.” While the gentleman who answers for Pennsylvania (a paomber of tho Phiia delphia.bar, since deooaeed) says that tho negro population in this Stato are “a degraded class, muob deteriorated by freedom.ln Vermont', it seems, “they are generally able to read and write,” whilo in Pennsylvania they are described as being “ not educated, and almost all tbo decent and respectable negroes we have have been household slaves in some Southern State!” This is inter woven with a large portion of trosh and non sense from the author himself, to prove that sla very is tho Jiimmum bonum of the Afrioan race, until wearied, at last, we turn from his “ histori cal introduction” to his treatment on tho law of slavery, with a feeling that we aro to some extent escaping from an atmosphere infected with the deeply-rooted prejudices of the writer. In the North, slavery is an objoot of study only in its moral and political aspocta. Our courts take but very little oognizanoo ovor tbo subjeot, except In relation to fugitives. We are hardly qualified on. this account to spoak critically of the legal merits of the- work' before us. T But so far as we are able to form an opinion! it Appears to be wrifc len with judgment and ability. “ Bred Soott,”of course, figures prominently in his proper place, and the law on the subjeot of tho rendition of fu gitive slaves is fully explained. But of this, as of every other topic to whioh; the book relates, our author takes, an extreme Southern viow, and not being able to appreciate his labors, we commond bis work to our professional brethren in tho slave holding States, to whom we think it will prove a solace In their hours of leisure* and retirement, if oot a useful text-book in their legal studies. It is printed on good, stout paper, in large type, has plenty of foot notes, including the answers of the leading politicians in the free States, on the oonditlon of the negro population surrounding them, and is furnished with an admlrablo index to f he twoseparate parts of whioh tbo book is oompos ; ed. We have no doubt that it will be found usoful to refer to on many questions concerning the rights of master and slave. Somersett’s case, 20, Howell’s State Trials, is fully reported and oxamined, in connection with Lord Stowell’s deolsion in the case of the slave Graced Hagg. Adm. Rep., 04 and the deoision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States in the case of Dred Scott. Mr. Cobb oonsidors that he has entered upon an untrodden field, for he stigmatises “Stroud’s Sketch of the ; Law of Slavery” as only an Abolition pamphlet, 1 and Wheeler’s Law of Slavery as a more com pend of ’abridged deoisiona.' If Judge Stroud’s book be only an Abolition pamphlet, as our author asserts, by what name, wo should like to know, ought Mr. Cobb’s book to be called ? It strikos us as boing nothing more than a rhodomontade in favor of Afri can slavery, and as such; an offset to Judgo Stroud’s work, if the latter be of the ohoractor at tributed to It: Lola Itlontcz and the Church. Tho following lettor from Lola Uontez is pub lished in the Now Fork papors 0/ yesterday eve ning: ' Kbtt Yoim, October, 1858. May I ask tho favor of a small spaeo In your papor? I peroolve that some of tbo papers (and I am informed that the bishop and others of the clergy have interfered) aro casting reflections upon the lUtlo donation which I have offered to make for the purpose of rebuilding a eburoh designed for the freo use of tho poor. I wish to state that whoa I volunteered for this purpose, I had never soon the reotor, the Rev. Ralph Hoyt, but X had board it seated that his practice was to distribute from his oburoh food-and olothlng to the poor during tho cold months of rjinter., ''The idea of a clergyman, in the solfish times we live in, giving food and clothes to the freesing and starving, instead of feasting them on “ tracts/ 1 struck mo as being most unheard-of conduct in a minister, and I felt astfone desire to give my mite to help to rebuild a church whioh Is to be used for suoh ft very novel, but true Christian purpose. Hor did I for a moment imagine that there was to bo found, even in the benighted rogions of clerical bi gotry and intolerance, one so stupid and so shame* Tessas to find fault with a truly philanthropic oler gyraan for his willingness to receive a donation from me to feed and instruct tbo podr. I did remember that it was tbo dootors of theology and the piona folks who crucified the Master, and my wide experience has taught.mo that it is not to that class of pooplo'that we may generally look for good and- charitable deeds; but I was .not pre pared to’expeotsuoh an insulting interference of bishops and olergy, in what is only an humble offer of mine to help 'tho poor. But Xam oon tented to leave it With thinking minds to say who is the better Ohrlsttan, myself, or the cold, heart less Pharisee' who would ortuh me or any one else for doing good. ..As I have seen it stated in some of tho papers that, under these oirumstanecs I might refuse to lecture for that object, I deem it proper to say, k over my own name, that I shall lecture as adver tised. at Hope Obapel, on Wednesday ovenlng, and aU thewrcoeeds will be handed over to tho bene volent object above named. 'And, to my lecture on Rome, I shall add a postscript in relation to antl-Ohristvan and anti-American bigotry and in tolerance, whioh‘may, also, as U appears, be used to rCb the poor aud divest man of his natural rights: 1 With pity for the poor, and many prayers for th® “ sinners in Zion,” I am your obedient servant, Lola Montsz.

The excitement In political affairs* so far as relates to the ehoice of delegates to the Democratic Congres sional,-Oounty, Judioial and Assembly Conventions, culminated last evening—the Tamtrany party making a. clean sweep. In a few localities disturbance was ex pected, but the presence of the police in sufficient force toquell any outbreak, had the desired effect, and things went as smoothly as could be expeoted at such gather ings. The principal opposition to the Tammany rulers and programme was In Mr. Sickles’* district} but be yond a shindy In tbo First ward, where the language med might be regarded as of a slightly objurgatory cha racter, and the adjectives much more nervous than elegant, tho friends of that geotleraan carried the day, and hia nomination, so far as the regular party machine s concerned, may be considered as settled. The friends of Mr. Wood seem to have attempted no concerted movement In any ward excepting the First; probably for tbe reason that they contemplate the holding of other caucuses, next week, and the nomina tion of a candidate of their own. In Horace F. Clark’s district a malorltyef the delegates are supposed to be iQ favor of Jackson, though it will be rather difficult to count that chioken before It is hatched. For sheriff there is comparatively no opposition to John Kelly. He has a Jai?o majority of the delegates, and maybe regarded as counted in. In regard to the district attor neyship a parenthetical strife seems to be going on among the head chiefs of Tammany, tbe grand sa*hexn, Postmaster Fowler, taking ground for his assistant, Mr. Kelson J. Waterbury, while Messrs. Sickles and Hart are in the Held for their personal and political crony, Mr. Thos. 0. Field. The adhesivenesßof ordlnaryputty would fall if used as a synonym for the manner in which these gentlemen stick to their friends. Tbe number of “ consulting engineers” employed In running the party is considerably Isbs than that of the old Banhodrim ; and the er gineera may, without any violent strain upon our vernacular, be regarded as a rather sharp set of gentle men. The ambitious aspirant for civic honors who in dulges the pleasing hope that they can be easily placed in a horizontal state of qutotude, that is to say, 11 laid out,” might be safely advised to arise from his oonch at an early hour in the forenoonTif he would accomplish that much-desiderated object. By tbe way, the Timts says since the entente cor diale between the Collector and Mr. Sickles, by reason of the intervention of the President, tbe friends of Mr. Sicklos who were removed from the oustom house by Oolleotor Schell have been restored to their former places, and that this is but the beginning of the con cessions which are to be made. The old “ Light Guard,” long considered the model company of tl\e military of this city and State, has a* length changed its cinonlcils aod its name—being now known as company Aof the seventy.Qrst regiment. It appeared yesterday in the uniform of the seventy-first, and were off to the wars on Staten Island. Thecompaoy claim to have more tall and better-looking men on their master-roll than any company in the Union— .nearly all of them being <<six feet high, well-propor tioned, active, and broad.” Strakosch has been having a splendid suooess in Bos ton, surpassing anything of the sort ever known in that lively town. His four performances there realized upwards of ten thousand dollars; expenses, four thou sand, leaving six thousand profit to the ente-priaing manager.

The misfortunes resulting from the Crystal Palace fire oontinuo to attract attent'on. Yesterday the exhi bitors were admitted to the ruint, but failed to recover anything of value; Indeed, the destruction was so complete that little prospect is afforded to the exhi. bitors to recover much from the romaina. Tho exhi bitors favorable to tho revival of the Fair, and the or ganization of a new institution, held another meeting last evening, but nothing interesting was done. A taacs meeting is to be held at tbe Ceoper Institute this evening Eminent speakers are promised, and the movement is expected to take a definite shape. William H.

Maretzck, with his eompany, goes South imrae* d lately. On Thursday a new comedy, called “Our American Oonsins,” is tobe played at Laura Keene’s. There was a slight reaction in stooks to-day, several large holders being anxious to secure the profits of the late ri#. This applies more particularly to the striotly speculative descriptions, the list of State stocks aod reliable railroad bonds being well held, and in some instances higher prices paid.

Though I am noithor one nor the other, nover having looked through anything larger than a spy-glass, or written &n artiolo for a newspaper, I beg leave to differ from them, and to say that there are two oomets now to be seen, of nearly equal size and appearanoe. Naked-eye observa tion and common sense have caused mo to come to thie» conclusion, wbioh is unalterable, unless It is erroneous, wbioh X hope some of your better-in formed readers will inform me of, If it is. At 4 o’clock in the morning a comot may bo seen at a height of about 45 degrees above tho eastern horizon. When it fades from sight, on flooount of the approaohing light of the san, it is almost over oar heads. At 6 o’clook P. M., or thereabout, the sun sets, and soon a oomet is seen about 45 degrees above the western horizon. How can it be that this is the same one whloh Wes seen fifteen hours hoforo about the same dis tance above tho eastern horizon, and then three hours ahead of the sun, now ouo behind ?

ARRIVAL OP THE STEAMSHIP CITY OF BALTIMORE, LATEST FROM PAUL MORPHY. Th* British Treaty with China, THE ATLANTIO TELEGRAPH. The steamship City of Baltimore, Leitoh, from Liverpool 20th ulfc., arrived at New Y< rk yester day. A floating derrick, after the model of those in vogno at,Hew York, (the invention of Mr. Bishop,) baa been launched at Blackball, on the Thames, and being the drat of its kind constructed there, it attracted considerable attention. It is the largest dorriok in existence. A concession has bees granted to some English capitalists to establish a Guard Jlankat Constanti nople, upon the model of European banks, and under the surveillanoo of the Government. y The Indepciidencs Beige publishes the text of the Moldo-Wflllaohjan convention, but the parti culars are already known. The inquiry into the oonduot of a Protestant" clergyman named West, at Boyne Hill, in resort ing to tbo practice of oonfeoßion among his pa rishioners, had resulted in a verdict of not proven,” and further proceedings were consequent ly rtipped. It was whispered that the Empress Eugenio is again in a condition to afford hopes that the impe rial dynasty of Prance will not hang on the single l»fe of the young Prince. Considerable anxiety was felt throughout Prance as to the intentions of Government respecting the decree permitting the importation of foreign grain, which would expire on the 30th of September, and which, if not renewed, would cause the revival of tbo absolute sliding soale. Paul Moßrnv.—ln regard to the chess matoh botween Morphy, the American ohampion, and Harrwitz, the London Era says: “Sinoe the days of Desohappelles and Lwbourdonnais, since the match of the French and English champions, St. Armanband Staunton, no similar interest has been exhibited by theohess plityers of Franoe; and at the termination of the contest with HarrwUs, a still greater chess treat is oxpeoted from the meet ingof the justly famed Der Lara with the oham pion of the New World. The score between Morphy and Hamvitz now stands—Morphy 4. Harrwilz 2, drawn 0. Since the termination of tbo second game Hnrrwitz has not scored one, and* has requested an adjournment of hostilities until 29th September. The last gome wml played on the- 18th inst” *• Tnu Atiantio Telegraph.— Letters from Va lentin report that no improvement bad taken plnco in the electrical oondittonof the Atlantic cable The fault, however, did not get worse, for occasionally considerable and distinct “ reversals” from Nowfonndland were discernible. . The opinion that the principal fault in tbp cable is near the shore daily gainod ground, although Professor Thomson’s opinion was direofly opposed to snoh a supposition. It was supposed that something would bo dono war da under-running and repair ing the oftble in October, which is generally a fine month on the Irish coast. Mr. Henley’s gigantic magneto-eleotrio machine bad arrived at Valentia, and been put into opera tion, and with the aid of this instrument Mr. Hon ley hoped to be able to work through the cable during some part of each day, even if the fault should prove irreparable. It was the unanimous opinion of nearly all .at Valentia that the laying' of ten or twolve miles of the thick shore end of the cable would tend permanently to obviate a great many of the difficulties with whioh the eleo tricnl department of the undertaking has been interrupted. Boyond the continuance of experi ments, nothing was to be done with the oablo until the preconcerted experiments at both ter mini of the lino had been made. The Latest from Valentin. Valentia. Friday, Sept. 24* Sinoo my last communication no improvement has taken place in the elootrieal condition of the Atlantio cable; nor indeed, until within the Inst few days have any operations or experiments (be yond those the results of which have already been communicated) been undertaken to ascertain the naturo. of the leakage in the eable, or the pro bability of working through it in its present con dition. * Up to yesterday everything remained in statu quo. During eaoh alternate hoar the regular suc cession of signals previously alluded to are de spatched, and during the intervals the galvanome ters of Professor Thomson are watched for Borne indications of currents from the other side; but these, unfortunately, are seldom seen at all, and still more rarely oan these slight defleations be depended on as currents from Newfoundland-, However, thoro is still this much cause for satis faction, that the fault does not got worse at any time, whilo it, occasionally, for a time improves. Considerable and distinct “reversals” from New foundland are discernible. The opinion prevalent among many here, that the principal fault in the eable is comparatively near shore, daily gains ground, and though Pro fessor Thomson’s opinion is directly opposed to such a supposition, I cannot help thinking that there really is more in it than was at first sup posed. For the reason? given in my last letter there is no doubt a fault existing in the cable upon the bank which divides tbo shoal water from the depths of the Atlantio, about 220 mites from tbo Irish coast. But this fault, without the existence of several minor faults nearor shore, would not account for the total interruption of the ourront sent from Qtther terminus. AU that Professor Thomson, Mr. Donley, er Mr. Varley con say respecting the fault is, that it gives a resistance to the eleotrio ourront equal to 300 miles of the cable But it does not therefore follow that the inter ruption is 300 miles away, for, by paseiog the cur rent through a fow yards fine .wire in a basin of salt water, the very same amount of resistance can be produced. Though the distant fault may tend to interrupt the small portion of the eleotrloal ourront whioh passes the nearer faults, yet, if these more accessi ble ones were repaired, it is the opinion of many hero, competent to judge of the matter, that the supposed loss of insulation out at sea would not materially affect the working of the line. The more recent advices from Newfoundland de oidedly tend to strengthen the opinion that the main interruption is close to this place. Mr. Gyms Field, in writing from America, says that “n$ messages have been received from Ireland since the Ist inst., though the insulation of the cable romainod perfect. 1 Now, according to the experiments of Professor Thomson and others, it has been ascertained that a loss of insulation 300 miles from either shore would affect the currents sent from both ends equally, whereas if the effect were olose to either station, tho loss by insulation would only be appa rent at the termination nearost to it. A very similar defect to the present occurred a short time ago, In one of the North Sea oobles. Mr. Varloy, and other roientlfio gentlemen, tested the oablo, and prononnoed the defect to be 170 miles off Tbo oable was accordingly nodor-run, and out at n distanoo of 30 miles from the shore, whou it was found that the defect was much nearer; and, after a varfoty of other experiments had been tried, the faulty place in the oablo was discovered not out at sea at all. but aotnaliy in tho portions of the oable buried in the beach. The above incident, whioh I believo to be sub stantially oorreot, should teaoh the authorities of the Atiantio Telegraph Company not to pronounce their scheme a failure untii the theoretical experi ments (which are but uncertain guides, no matter how ably oonduoted) are verified in some measure by prootioal tests.

Bold Robbery.— A young man named Jas. Jones was before Alderman Freeman, jeslorday morr ing, on the charge of the larceny of a watch. It ep pears that about 6 o’clock on Saturday afternoon Jones went to a jewelry store, In Bonth street, above Fifth, and desired to examine a gold watch. The Jady in attendance complied with the request After look ing at the time-piece for a short period, he asked her for a silver watch which was hanging In the window, and, while her back was turned, made off, taking tbe gold watch with him. An alarm woa sounded, aud the thief captured by Officer Orafge, of the Fifth ward. Two others, allogcd to have been accomplices of Jones, wore also taken into custody. Their names sre James Wood nod James Stinefield. All three were commuted to answer at court The watch was subsequently recovered at a place in Dock street. Disohahqed.— Robert Shipley and Mrs. Freudentbal, detained on suspicion of having been con cerned in cutting the throat o' Mr. Freudenthal, last week, on board the ship ‘Shamrock,” have been dis charged by Alderman Ogle, there being no evidence to implicate them in the affair. The wotmded roan still remains at the hospital, and was In a much im proved condition. There is now nodonbtof his recovery. He is not permitted to converse much, but persists in saying that he was attacked on Water street, as related last week. Alleged Robbery.— Tho tavern of John Colflesh, attho corner of Lewis street and Girard are nue. is reported to have been entered at an early hour on Sunday morning, and robbed of between $7O and $BO in money. Two young men, who gave tbe names of John Moore and Edward Ennis were arrested yester day morning, on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery- They were taken before Aid. Haines, ami held in $4OO bail for a farther hearing. Mr. Oolflesh became security for the appearance of one of the de fendants. Attempted Robbery.—An attempt was made about thiee o'clock on Snndsy afternoon to enter the store of Messrs. Berger A Bnts, at Nos. 131 and 133 North Water'street. Borne rascals were busily engaged in prying off the locks of the back door, when they were frightened by the entrance of one •/ the pro prietors by the front door.

The Autumnal Election —lts Incidents and Results. —One of the most spirited and warroly-con tested elections ever held in this .city was that of yes terday. The preparations commenced at a very early boor, and the leaders of each party worked with an earnestness that showed the stern necessity whl’ch marked their surroundings, and the need of every ex ertion possible to be made When the Yeting com menced, these exertions were redoubled. Our reporter poramhnlatfd extensively throughout the city, and cannot but bear testimony to the f*ct that th* present elec'ion was one o f the most quiet and orderly con tests ever conducted, and that, with a few trifling ex ceptions Induced by free whiskey, there were no scenes of disorder daring the entire day.' In the Second district, we noticed nothing of special moment, except that the voting w«s very close, and that here, as elsewhere, the friends of Mr Ewing we r e scr&tch'ngthe'nameof Berrell from their tickets, and were casting them for other candidates. In the re maining districts, the cont st was a herd one We no ticed that Mr. Landy paid the penalty for having sa crificed his manhood, bis name being cut from ?he ticket by a large proportion of the voters Throughout the en tire city we . found that Leeompton was proving I’* eoir a millstone about the necks of its adherents. All, however, were working desperately, bringing t«rdy vo ters to the noils, cheering the despondent, encouragirg the deie ted, at d potting the very best face open what appeared, at best, to be douMful.. When night came, aod the resalt in each preclnctberame sufficiently asc«-‘ taln°d. tho streets were fairly lit up with bonfires, and tbe dull gray sky was made lurid by the funeral pyre of Leeompton. Crowds now swelled about the Central Po lio Station, The Press, and other newspaper offices, and about tbe head-quarter* of tbe respective parties. In tbe vicinity rf The Press office tbe concourse of peo ple was very large, and as the returns were announced to the multitude, the plaudits from those whom they pleased were loud aod hearty—fairly making the welkin ring. It is useless to say that the result has surprised many, and that the disappointment of the defeated took tbesbape of rehementexeorafion. So great was the interest in the remit, that, despite the shower which commenced falling at nine o’clock, the vast concourse of people which orowded The Press office remained undi mtnished until tho grand result was communicated to all. At 12 o’clock, when the major part of the return* had been received, the jubilant roulttiude form* d in p o cesaion. with music and banners, and paraded through the principal streets. They halted in patriae down.

Being the day preceding the election, was pipe-laying, and even the chevaliers d } Industrie appear to have abstained from their unn-l pursuits Ooly two police cases were reported; they were both burglaries. Id the first case, a leather store, at No. 24 S Race street, was entered by means of faiee keys. The thieves broko open a desk, and carried off a qaantitv of bank-notes. These notes were all cou • t >rfeits, the accumulation of years by the proprietor of the place, as even tbe best judges of money are some times victimized. The too conflleot thieves were probably satisfied with tbe money, and departed with out looking further. The major portion of tbemor.ey war In bills upon tbe Lewlaburg and Susquohanna Banks. The false key by which the entree of the pl*ce was gained was left by the,robbers in the lock The other affair was the robbery of a dry goodsstor*. at No. 209 North Second street, kept by Miss Mary Stewart Here the thieves operated with a “ itmmy ’’ and suc ceeded in carrying off six pieces of silk and twenty-five dollars In money. Cobble Stones vs. Railroabs.—Tbe om nibns men, who are stilt contending against tbe city railroads, find the business to be full of difflcol’le*. This is especially the c«se with the proprietors of lines running southward of Chestnut street With a hopo of again bringing'the business up to the paying point, the fare of these lines has been reduced to three cents. It is doubtful, however whether the move will produce the desired result For tbe pleasant riding in smooth running cars, there are few people, we fancy, who will not be willing to forsake the jolting omnibuses, even though a couple of coppers may be saved. It has been shown wherover city passenger cars have been intro duced, that omnibuses vanished before them like frrgs before a Frenchman. The omnibus men will have to try something else. Head Splitting. — We are informed that two men were brought, last evening, to the Infirmary of the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, Ninth street and Shields alley, with compound frno* turd of their skolls, produced in an affray in one of the upper wards of the city. This new Hospital, recently established by this enterprising and successful College, is a valuable ad'ltion to the charities of our city, ana at the same time affords the very beat clinical advsn tsgea to the large classes which repair to its halls for instruction. Narrow Escape—Asa train of twenty-eight empty cars, belonging to the North Pennsylvania Rail road, was epmlog down Ninth street, yesterday, drawn by teo mulls, it ran off tbe enrve at the corner of Wil low street, and running at a rapid rate at the time, ’he cars came in collision with Mr. Knowles’ coal office, utterly demolishing the latter, and barely allowing Mr Knowles himself to escape with bia life; the chair upon which he was sitting when the accident occurred hav ing been literally torn to atoms. Incendiarism A man named John Clnff, living in Jones street, above Nineteenth was arrested yesterday, on the charge of arson, brought against him by Mlm Fanny Harvey. The complainant, who lives next door to the defendant, alleges that on Monday night he went into her house while drunk, and set it on fire Oluff admits being intoxicated, but denies all knowledge or the firing. The fire marshal Is investiga ting the affair. Fire-.—About o’clock this morning a fire broke oat in a brick building need m a soap factory, in tbo rear, eorner ot Third aod Plumb streets. The building was considerably damaged, but owing to the lateness of the hoar we are unable to state particulars The fire made a light so brilliant that it waa supposed by many to have been oaused by a conflagration at tbe nary yard. More Yacht Races—Greatness is a very troublesome thing. The yachts Theodore Ealing and' GeorgeAf. Hill, having beaten so many others, are to race together, next Thursday morning, for a purse of $2OO and the champion flag They will leave Green* street wharf, and sail to Tinionm and book. This is the iftst rare of the season, and will produce excitement fn proportion. Laying op Corner Stone.— Tho comer stone or the Princeton Presbyterian Church, of We»t Philadelphia, as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, will be laid this afternoon at three o'clock. Glad or it.—By Monday next, cars will be running upon the north Third street railroad, and by the end of November they will run to the terminus of the road in Mifflin street, south of Greenwich.' Disraeli* Id the January number of the Southern Lite vary Journal , just twenty years ago, we find a brilliant oomparison of Bulwer and Disraoli as novelists. It is, we learn, from the pan of our gifted fellow-citizen, George S. Bryan, Erq. Dis raeli is now playing a great part in the theatre of tbe world's history—a statesman of no ordinary sagacity and influence. He is every where a theme of conversation, and we have deemed it a matter of goneral interest to reprodnoe a portion of this article, not doubting oar readers will bo highly gratified at the pernsal. —Charleston Mer cury. If we mistake not, the voice of fashion and the will of tho majority have constituted Baiwer king ot tho modem novolists. It ssems to bo almost a settled point that ho exools all his contemporaries, and has succeeded to tho throne of the Wizard of tho North. Bat it may be, as it has been before, that tbe majority is in error, and that most infal lible judge, fashion itself, mistaken. Though we submit ourselves, as in duty bound, to the powers that be, yet we confess ourselves of the minority, who would give the ernwn to Disraeli, and dis place tbe monaroh of King Numbers. We think Nature has been more bountiful to him. She has endowed him with an intonser spirit; sho hasgifted him with a larger share of that creative power whioh the world has baptized “genius ” Through out the works of Bnlwer, overall his pages, can bo seen a refined taste, controlling, harmonizing, composing; reducing bis varied materials to ordor, and disposing them with effect; from evory quarter calling appropriate imagery, and assimi lating tho thoughts and sentiments of others. You feel that if you are dealing with an author of sorao genius, you are also conversing with tho pages of one of still greater talent and* art. The copyist too often arrests your attention. Tbo voice of another is too often recognised. You earmot accede to him the highest merit—origi nality. And it is precisely in the joints upon whioh ho plumos himself—-hfs sentiment and imagery—that he is most a plagiarist and least original. And these aro the ohief charm of his wri tings. In them lies the spell wbichholdstheworid bound. But his talisman came to him at second hand,and isat best a thing of partnership, a compost and a manufacture, and wo are swayed not by tho form in whioh it greets onr vision, or the drapery with whioh he has disguised it, but by the intrin sic virtue, whose oreation and vitality was tbo work of another. Disraeli wields'a talisman all his own. Ho neither bought it, borrowed it. nor stole it. It came to him tbe free gift of Nature; ns much bis own as tbe song of the nightingale, ss distinct from any other as the notes of tbe night ingale from those of tbe lark. Yon are tho sub ject of a new spoil, and stand entranced by a song you never heard before; its like even you have never listened to, and it recalls no other voice. He has opened to the world,an intel lectual region, as virgin as that whioh greels the ohildreu of the North, when from out the waves rose upon their dolighted senses tbe flow ery and odorous shores of Florida. Its sweeps of deoorated prairie and gorgeous savannas of orien tal growth; its resplendent skies of quivering snowy lustre; its balmy gales, dissolving the spirit in luxury, and wooing it to soft repose. So sur prised and delighted was the world when Vivian Grey made it? appearance. And the ocean-tossed stranger did not roam tho sunny Golds of the new found land with a moro eager and startlod cari osity than did tho reading would hnrry through the passionate, wild, vivid pages of Vtvian Groy. In point of novelty and freshness wo oonneot it but with one Incident in onrexperience. It reoalls to mind when, for tbo first time, in tbe esme land of flowers, a flock of paroquets, liko a cloud of gold and green, with their bright plumage glancing in the sun. darted, with chattering noise, by us We stood in mute amaze, and, with cbUd-Uke wondor, followed the brilliant-winged spectacle till it vanished from our sight. It came upon our vision—a revelation. It Bpoke of another dime; it told of another sun and brighter skies. And not only in novelty, but in simi larity of oharaoter, may the genius of Disraoli be compared to the brilliant spectacle we have recalled, and to the gay land in whioh we wit nessed it. His spirit belongs to the South and to the East. Their birds glitter not with a more gorgeous plumage, nor sing a more witching song : their sky glows not with a more vivid lustre; tboir gales are burdened with no rioher odor ; in all, and over all, there broods not a more dissolr log voluptuousness. Luxuriance, prodigality, and waste; a wild mingling and confusion of do lights ; eccentrio, errant, wanton, a bewildering maze * but life is there, life in Us intensity, tho very riot and revelry of life—tho earth glowing, teeming, rejoioing beneath the quickening glanots of its naming sun. It is in this attribute of life, and tho lifo-giving power, that Disraeli outstrips Bulwerv It is in this incommunica ble gift, which cannot be purchased .by labor, which Btudy may in vain attempt to win ; before which men fold their arms, and ate content to despair, and to admire wherever It manifests it self, whether in the voice of the orator, or tbe wondrous forms of tho soulptor, or the ardent ore ationsof the painter—U is in this power and qua lity which may bo mimicked and imitated, nut oannot be reached, whioh oomes to a privileged few the grace and bounty of Nature, a dlstinotion, a dignity, flowing from royal prerogative, and granted at her queenly pleasure.

Yo *k TinuSf of this morning, has some fut- I her particulars respecting the appearance of forged certificates of deposit, to the amount of $27,600, on the American Exchange Bank, which had been received there by the Mercantile Bank from its correspondent bank in Pittsburgh. Other certiflcatea of the same character have since be*n received bringing the amount up to $60,000. It is not known if the Pittsburgh Bank bought these certificates or sent them forward for col lectiooj but as the bank drew against the proceeds, It is most probable that some shrewd knave has got an ad vance upoa them. What makes the fraud peculiar is that the party to whose credit the money purported to be deposited, is well known here, and his endorsement is pronounced, by those who know it well, to be genu ine. The blanks are such as the bank used a number of years since, and the name signed as that of teller U not the name of any one eonnected with the bank. The signature of the eashier is * poor imitation of the original. • Wo learn from the Pittsburgh Post that another bo gus bank note, evi'ently designed to deceive and de fraud, has made its way from Indiana, and as the issue looks like a good bill upon some responsible bank, we will particularise it. At the bottom of the note is printed “Stockholders individually liable?” at the end, “ Countersigned and Registered iu the office at Terre Haute. R. S Newton, Register.” The vignette is two women, with gause robes, lean lug on a bank, with water and ships, and a city, with locomotive, manufactures and canal-boat iu the dis tance. On the right end a figure resprtsenting Agricul ture, and ou the other » female figure sitting upoa some bundles of wb # et, as if resting after a harvest. The E?npire State says of the Exchange Bank of Griffo, Georgia, that the Governor has directed the So licitor General of the circuit to institute proceedings against this bank, for the purpose of having its charter declared to be forfeited as the law directs.
