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. A Damaging Disclosure. ;Hon. F. P«-Stanton, Secretary ot Kansas nnder Gov.

Justice demanded the admission that ho still believed the intention of the Admi nistration to have been good. Its present line of policy was an after-thought. Until the month of September he and' Gov. Walker were sustained -throughout -by the Administration.

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.

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.

One of iho conditions on which he was to be received as a special minister from Nicaragua was, that he should de liver the Otss-Yrisarri treaty as originally framed. This he has denied to various gentlemen, but tho Btate Department is in the possession of the names of those to whom he made the declaration. There is no doubt that he will be dismissed, should he much longer delay to comply with this condition.

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. Eater from Havana. Savannah. Oot. 12.—The atearartiin Isabel has ar rived from Havana with (?ateB to the 10th. The market for »ugar was quiet and declining; mo lasses and freight’ dull. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL * : 'The Money Market. ' PsiLAOiLpaii, October 12,1859. _ Brokers, u well as moat other patriotic people, di vide tbeir time oo eleotion day between affaire of Btat« and affairs of finance, and the talk on Third street has timed Tally as much upon the relative prospects of pro , m cent candidates »s upon the prospective ops and I downs of stocks. 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. The pro ceedings, we learn, have been instituted on the eom rlaintof Mr. Jones, the editor of the Augusta Chronicle and Sen tintl, the bank having proved default ou a de mand made by him upon It for tbs redemption of one Of its ons-dollar “ promises to pay ” The Bangor Courier of Saturday says: a The affair* of the Exchange Bank, of this city, were finally wonnd up yesterday by the receirers, who closed up the books, and made a grandbcnßre of $lO,OOO of the bills of the bank.
