The 'recuperative power of commercial
England Is fairly indicated by the excellent
- condition of her money-market. Englandhas
recovered from the, heavy shock which sho
had to sustain in the closing months’ of 1857,
and tbo opening months of 1858. Other cir
cumstancos must be' remembered. The Chi-;
neso. War has boen brOught to a close, and
several important concessions granted by the
four Treaties'which have been made, in which
England will have,an equal participation with
ourselves, France, and Russia. The Indian
Revolt; 'if not wholly put down, rages' less
fiercely than before, and its total suppression
may bo expected erelong.' The Indian Em

CATES OF AMERIOA,
rical Sketch of Slavery
jorgJa. 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.

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

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

A Damaging Disclosure.
;Hon. F. P«-Stanton, Secretary ot Kansas
nnder Gov. Walker, In d late speech at Law
rence made the following statement:
fie {Mr, Stanton) oarae to Kans&B in *57, be
lieving it to be the 'intention of Mr. Buchanan to
'deal fairly with the. people/ Had not this been
his opinion, he would never have accepted the po
sition of Secretary, nor Walker that of Governor
of tho Territory. 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. He would
mention one oiroumstanoe which was not generally :
known, as showing this oonolDßivelv.
oa I** General Whitfield and
pr. Teens, of Kansas, who were then in Washing
torn signed a letter “ expressly stating that the
course of Governor Walker and Secretary Stanton
was acceptable to the people of Kansas, inasmuch
as an undoubted majority were in favor of a free
State.". 2/ms litter was written at the special
request of Mr. Buchanan, who was anxious to
shield himself from the assaults then bolng made,
upon him by the South. Through Mr Buohanan'a
agency the letter was sent to the Union office,
and was aotually in type, accompanied by edito

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. On Thursday evening be gives the Athenians
tbe whole of Don Giovanni, in the Manic Hall, without,
costume—just to give the non-theatre-golog portion of
the town an opportunity of hearing the whole of nn
opera without the attendant iniquities of stage dresses,
scenery, trap doors, and things.
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.

[For The Press.]
Philadelphia, Ootobsr 11, IBSS.
Some ostronomors and many editor* say that
there is bat one oomet now risible in the heavens.
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 ? Gan It
be that it oan only have travelled (we call it tra
velling though it is only apparent, as tho sun tra
vels, the rotation of the earth on its axis) the dis
tance from where wo saw it at early morning to
where wo See it at seven o’clook P. M., while the
sun has gone from horizon to horison ?
It seems plain to me that there are two oomets.
If I am wroDg, will some one set mo right by a
paragraph explaining whore?

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.

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

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

The Mayor’s Oftob.— Tho returns of tho
police lieutenants to the Mayor yesterday tncrnlog
almost blank. 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.

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. They have paid dollar for dollar of the pub
lio Indebtedness of the bank which has been presented
within the time allowed by law We understand there
is a large amount or the bills ($26,000) still in circula
tion somewhere at the West. If it had been sent in, a
large dividend would have been paid on the whole; but
that which is now out is entirely worthless. The con
cern is closed up; &n<t the sooner the holders burn the
hills, the less likely they will be to cheat their neigh
bored*

Some three weeks since, a son of Mr. Timothy
Burke, an Irishman, residing about one and a
half miles east of this village, on what is known
as the Big Bend of Cfaeida river, wap accidentally
drowned. The mother was nearly-frantic when
sho found her boy was dead, and could not be con
soled. She was taken sick, and gradually failed
until Friday, when she joined her child in that
world “ from whenoeso traveller returns.” Sl©
leave a husband and a number of children. The
only oanse assigned for her death is grief.
Terrible Accident.—About four o’clock
last Saturday morning an scoident occurred on
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, whioh resulted
in the almost instant death of four men, all em
ployees on the road. A freight train from the
East and another from the West came into colli

tenders, injuring the engines, and badly smashing
several freight osrs. Tbe conductor on the train
