session', f th' J glyo,'iho majority of a jury , full

caused some alarm, and Lord Campbeh. has

Naw Tors, October 14,1858.
Everybody, throughout the country, who has any
oontrivAnco, who has invoated a machine, or !s inte
rested in a patent, reads what is going on amon& the ex*
hlbltors at the late Crystal Palace. The inventors, the
manufacturers, the men who raise excessive pumpkins,
big ears of oom and fat porkers, must have some place
where those things can be exhibited; and the lato con*
flsgration having deprived them of such a place, atten
tion is, naturally direot»d to the means of procuring
another.. For. this purpose .some fire, hundred persons
met 'at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday evening, to
take the incipient steps towards opening a Union for
the exhibition of specimens of art, science, &o. Late
as' it U for the starting of another exhibition, it is not
too late, as the first fair of the Tnst : tate ever held in
New Tork was held in November. The Bev. Dr. Cha
pin, who was one of the speakers, in the Course of bis
remarks, which were warmly applauded, aa’d:
u lt was just one year to-momw since the financial
crlsl* oocurrod, but now they hare got over that. Let
this Institution, thrn;'be restored; >they knew it could
be coopered up. [Applause. 1 They had got the gospel,
and be wished them to make it a book of acts. [Applause.]
Let the people get interested, then, and that Pbceolx
spirit would be seen which rises from itj ashes in new
forms of utility and strength.”
; The. .following resolution was then unanimously
adopted: .
Whereas, We, exhibitors. Inventors, manufacturers,
and citizens of every class, in mass assembled, believing:
that a necessity exists for the formation of a
~oppoF^I } oi9^f*lnaagurating ; tlie same, be* it there
fore ‘ " - ' ’
: Resolved', That’we heartily approve of the action
the exhibitors have taken to carry out this objeot, and
that we will heartily co-operate with, them in'their
efforts to the extent-ofonr ability
; ,Tha.following gentlemen were then appointed mana
gers of the proposed exhibition:
Hon.' Daniel T. Tiemann, ' Horace. Greeley,
Ex-Aid. Oharliok, Peter Cooper, Esq ,

Nicaraguan Affairs*
WisniKOTOK, October ll.—Jerez to-day had a long
interview with Secretary Cass. Notwithstanding he
had previously asserted that he had full power to ratify
the Oass-Yrlssari treaty, and to Anally arrange all mat
ter* pertaining thereto, without the necessity of re
ferring it back to Nicaragua, It appears, from the offioial
documents Just submitted bv him to the Btate Depart
ment, and of which a translation was immediately made,
that he is empowered only to act in order that tho amend
ments male by tho Assembly of Nicaragua may be sub
stantially carried into effect Thiß is tbe language om*
ployed, but it Is Dot considered sufficient to meet Lh4
demands of our Government. The Secretary of State
will have a consultation with the President on the mb
jeot to-morrow, and Jerez will soon, therefore, he in*
formed of the result. His mission is generally con
sidered as at an end; and unless he has documents of
a more satisfactory chorsoter to presept he will very
shortly be dismissed.

litlon of the shanties and sheds that obstruct Market
street, i -
Mr. Oornman (Committee on Water) reported a bill
for thj payment of claims against that department.
Mr. Neal asked for theyepnrt of the Committee on
Law,for the modification of the ordinances, the present
beiof the time fixed for its reception.
M?. Ouyler sshed -for a report from the Committee on
Retrenchment and Reform, of which Mr. Nesl is chair
ran.
Mr Nesl reapondedthat the opposition party h*d not
intarested themselves in the matter ss much as ho ex*
pictsd tboy would have done, and it was thoreforo
doubtful whether it was expedient to report.
Mr Cornman said that the report of the Committee
oo Retrenchment and Reform htd been referred to
tbs paople, and that they reported at the polls ou Toes
dgrlast.
Mr. Leidy read a bill for the appointment or two com*
naJislofibrs to prepare a municipal code for the govern*'
mtnt of the city The bill was ordqyod to be printed,
aid made tho order of the day two'weeks henod,
The ordinance making an additional appropriation to
tye Guardians of the Poor, for expense* of that depart
irefit* of $17,695, for the balance of 185 S, was taken up
cb motion of Mr. Neal, and debated at great length
In considering the item of $3OO for whiskey for the
Kck; Mr. Beideman moved to amend by substituting
sif6i In doing so, ho said that the deficiency to be
made up In the appropriation existed on tbe Ist of duly,
ind this amount he thought ample.
Mr. Neal was of the same opinion, as even $175
worth of whiskey was a good deal for sick people to
iriuk. Wh'skey could bo purchased for 75 cents per
gallon, which would make 70 gallons of whisky to bo
in s'ckness.
’■ The amendment was lost when put to vote, and the
original amount, $3OO, was retained
A motion was made to strike out from the first sec
tion of the ordinance, the words “caused by the losnf*
flcleocy of the annual appropriation,” which follow the
words, “The said appropriation being necessary for ex
penses for the balance of the prosent year.’ ’ Agreed to,
by a vote of 12 to 8.
The bill passed to a second reading, and was laid
over.
Mr. Schofield offered an ordinance appropriating
$l2OO to pay the salaries of 24 vaccine physicians,
which was passed.
Mr Ouyler moved that the Chamber proceed to the
discussion of the bill for the removal of the market*
street shanties
Mr. Leidy moved a reference to tbe Coraraitteo on
Markets.
Mr. Onyler stated that Ihe committee, on reporting
In favor of the removal of the sheds, had given every
opportunity to tbe roroonstranls to explain their objec
tions. -Tbe motion to refer was equivalent to an aban
donment of tbe project ' y
. Mr. Neal expressed himself in a similar manner.
Mr. Schofield thought the matter of too mnch Im
portance to be despatched at onco, and hoped to see it
referred.
Mr. Cornminsaid Itwaamanlfestdestiny. Tbe hovels
mostcome down, and there was no use in dodging the
Juration. The markets rent for $20,090 a year, and
a mage the city more than ten times that amount.
They are no longer a necessltv, as they onee were, and
they ought to be removed. The Chamber should voto
to remove them at once.
Mr. Neal said that a reference of the matter to the
Committee on Markets was absurd. The Committee on
Markets wes ono of tho hardest comm'tte®S in the GUam
berto be got together. The Committee on Markets
hadn’t met for mOqths, and to consign the matter to
them wofihMje ad unwise step.
Mr. Slice wanted the matter referred. He said that
tbe people didn't want the shanties removed, but only
. the merchants. He thought the shanties were highly
valuable and practical—gfreat conven’enccs to tho peo
ple, and admirably situated to meet the wants of the
. 'Mr. A!OiaiyiVVA*|/r«teoouww!mujcae3B "tOTOCBTVU ~tu».
remonstrances before acting upon the MU Ho thought
it duo to *he_ remonstrants, although they wero Vofy
few in proportion to Ibe petit'ons for it. ’
Mr. KHne read an act of Assembly, passed in 1854,
prohibiting tho removal of the shanties.
Mr. Common dou' ted whether Sir. Kilns would
hazard the publication of such an absurdity os a legal
opinion, i As to tho removal of the markets, even the
bntchers cf a better class were in favor of removing
the sheds. Let the bill be passed now and we oan
notify the. occupants of.tbo market hovels to vacate
them on the Ist of January' As for a petition, why. if
Mr, KHne will give me money enough to encourage the
undertaking, I’ll guaranty, between now and Saturday
night, to get up a petition with five hundred signatures
to hang him (Mr. Kline) before Monday morning.
- The question of reference to tbe Market Committee

Deserted Places.— Another striking illus
tration has been furnished, in the recent election, of
the readiness with which the American people make
conceffl'cna to the popular will and settle down Into
perfect quiet from the extreme o r excitement. There
was scarce seen or beard upon our streets, yesterday,
among tho masses who, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
were all hustle and anxiety, any Indication of the poli
tical storm which had just swayed them; and apart
from the customary little knots of politicians and idlers
who throng the' vioinitv of Independence Hall.tbore
was nothing to remind us, either of the successful
struggle or the excitement whiota attended it. We

tho names of the successful Candidates, and the rooms
were Inviting y open, as usual; hut they were perfectly
d sorted as We looked upon 'them—not even a commit*
t»-e man or janitor being found within. * Othe-places,
resorted to previous to yesteriay, presented the same
dreary spectaolh—reminding, u» that the people, after
having exercised the rights and privileges which even
European nobl»R do not enjoy, and the proudest of them
might envy, had left the exalting arena of politics—the
dan ers aod chaSms of partv strife—content to repose
In security and psace.beneath the sway.of those to
whom tho majority had confided the management or our
public affairs. What other people, beneath the sun,
could, or would, yield so willing an obedience to the
popular will? • ....
The Navy Yard.— There was a resumption
of-business at,the navy yard .yesterday; with k fo ce of
near eighteen hundred men, for whose successful work
there is scarce Sufficient accommodations. To-nijrht
being the last day In the half month', His understood
that the laborers will be romowhat ttfinned ont. There
is a large quantity of work to be done,- The Lancaster

not be before the lit of November. As soon as she Is
out of the ahipibeuse, the work of building the seconi
of tho n*w stoops .will be oomraonepd. The first is
already framed, with the-exception of the forward
cavils, and a largd force is at work upon her*. The
Congress frigate is also belpg gradually prepared for

by Captain Bands, but will now bo commanded bv Lieu

guay wyied.tioD. Vessels are also constantly arriving
at tho navy yard for repairs, and large quantities of
timber'and supplies are arriving.' The disbursements
ar« from forty to fiftv thousand dollars par month,
quite an item in our city financial matters.
Carelessness of Conductors Tho con
ductors upon our passen.er railways are generally care
ful and obliging, yet we have seen some Instacc s of
carolessnesß in leaving passengers, and particularly la
dlts off the cars, which justifies an admonition to them
to be a little moro cautious They are frequently in such
a burry that they cannot afford timefor'a lady to get off
before they tp the hell. the car starts, and the passen
ger is iu danger of being thrown down. We have seen
several narrow escap'd from this cause: and ere any
serious damage, results, the directors of tho different
city lines should see that a uniform care shonld ha ex
.ercised by conductors and drivers.

somebody had furnished him He. has a constant
night watch, and perpetrated the,act abonf the
time' of the ohango of watohes, soon after mid
night. When the morning watch oamo to his cell
ho found' S’out bleeding freelv, having alreadv
drawn a quart of blood. The jailor was aroused
aod the necessary stops taken to save further ef
fusion. •
The watchman beoame aware of the foot that
Stout had attempted to bleed h : mself to death, by
bearing him call out that he was dying. He went
to him, and found bv removing the bed cloth
ing was bloody. Btout fainted and re
mained in thatcondition far some time. Dr. Avery
was sent for, stopped the blood, and applied reme
dies. So we are informed.
The prisoner apponred to be quite weak from
the loss of blood, and was laid on the bed with his

attempt at self-destruction. How he obtained the
lancet, wbioh is a new one, is not made public, but

the prisoner, will leave to-morrow with the peti

Anniversary meeting of the Evangelical
v£ f . Knowledge Society; ;
Tho anniversary, meeting-of this eoolesiastloAl
body; designed to - hid in progress of evange
lical knowledge, .was held < last evening, at the
■EmanuelOburoh/Cathedral B’reet. ' ,
Rev. Bishop Meade, of Virginia,
Bishop Lee, of Delaware; Johns, of Vir
ginia;. , Bishop Whittingham,; of>Maryland, and-
Bishcp Boon, missionary to China, were also pre
sent,' and made brief but highly interesting ad
dresses. ‘.Besides these there were In-attendance
some twenty or thirty clergymen, several of whom
addressed tbe meeting/ The Bishop of lowa was
expected to be in attendance. . -r '
The secretary’s report was read, showing the
aocioty to be in a highly prosperous and very satis
factory condition.Dnring the-past year it has
been augmented by the addition of over five hun
dred new'members; and that it is not only free
from debt, but has in the treasury a surplus of
thirty-three thousand dollars.
So far as we could gather from the several ad
dresses delivered on this occasion, the association
has been instrumental in producing a large amount
of good/ Its ohlef object is to use whatever means
maybe available towards- the promulgation and
establishment of evangelical knowledge.? -
Tbe entire proceedings-of,this association and
meeting bosses* a deep interest to all who feel an
anxiety for the dissemination of true evangelical
knowledge. Itsobjeotis one-that oannot"rail in
the accomplishment of immeasurable good, and we
hope to hear of-its future success being fully 'com
mensurate with the merlts of ee benevolent a cause.
It was The first, annnal meeting of the society ever
held in our oity. The association, we believe, era*
brnoos tho entire Union, or ia.limUed only by the
United States
Qaite a large number of ladies were in atten
dance last evening, and, -had the weather not
provod Inclement, there would have been many
more. All present'were deeply interested in the
proceedings, of which wo here give but a faint out
line.—Balt. Patriot* Oet. 13.
Strict. —No one is admitted to the cable
room at Trinity Bay/not even the su
perintendent of the Newfoundland line. An
officer of the United States coast survey made a
pilgrimage to Trinity Bay to witness tbe work of
operating the cable, but Mr. DeSauty was Inflexi
ble, and the cfficor was only allowed ‘to peep
through the window.
The « Old -Theolooy ,> was probably never
more forcibly presented than in the Teply of a
iindent at tbe recent examination of Andover
Theological Seminary. , Being asked, “In what
sense did Christ die for alt V ’ He answered, “Ho
died for the eleot. to provide a way of salvatior,
and for the non-eleot that they might be more
effectually damned.” . '
CITY ITEMS.
Tab Fur Trade.—As the season for furs is ra
pidly approaching, a few words with reference to *hte
branch of trade in this city may not'.he amirsj'sud.our
first remark Is, that in this, as in almost evciy branch of
mseufsetu e,' the celebrity of Philadelphia-made ar
ticles is admitted by ali who knnw, and are sufflclertly
disinterested to admit the truth. We were not at all
surprised, however, at seeing In the New Tork PafA
finder, a few days ago. an article npon the far trade in
that city which, true to the' bragging instinct# of onr
Gothamite neighbors, so elevated their, principal for
eitabrshment abeve alt competitors in tbe world be
side, that tbe unsophisticated reader might have been
led to believe that thd far tmde ofthe world culminated
In Manhattan Island that the monopoly of this
culmination was centred under one roof, (and not a
very capacious one at that, as we.happen to.know ) be
tween a certain “Lane,” and a very narrow street.
Not content with nuking the most absurd exaggera
tions with regard to the extent o' their own trade, the
writer of the article in question seeks by Ingenious ar
tifice to establish for this New Tork bouse a monopoly
'in point of fair dealing, by insinuating that beyond
the precincts that immaculate establishment ail
purchasers of fare were liable to tbe srevsest de
ception . The lnslnnation v is also contained in it,
that New York has advantages is securing certain Eu
ropean furs over every body else. Now/U a word,this
is all sheer nonserse, aswho does not koow that Phila
delphia money will go quite aa fat as that of New York
ers, and Philadelphia character a good d*al farther?
We despise the gome of striving to pull down others to
elevate onrselves, and are, tbere'ore, quite willing to
yield to New York all the advantages she possesses;
but when, through her journals, an unblushing attempt
Is made to place npon the topmost pinnacle a single
house, when, at the same time, we hare 'in our own
city an establishment In ths.same department of trade,
alongside 61 wlrch the pronrietors of the New York
house in question have privately admitted their own
establishment to he but a mere “ sty,”, we think a
word fa favor of bur own is justly dtsemdl
That New York has the advantage of Philadelphia in
point of wholesaUing furs, we do not dispute; yet, this
is owing to her more contiguous position to porta where
fur garments are in greater demand, and nof because of
her better stocks; superior workmanship, or greater
integrity of her merchants. The ieodiog house here—
aod we will be pardened for thus singling it qut in refu
ting tbe statements of onr New York contemporary—
that of Mr. GsososP. Wombats, No*. 415'shd 41T Arch
street, has done a large business annually fa the way of
monufacturiog furs imported by gentlemen fa New York
for their own private use; acd the reasons assigned by
their New York'patrons in aueh cas*a'are,'first, that
they obtain in Philadelphia better workmanship, and,
secondly,'th at by_aendfag expensive furs here they feel
assured that they wi>l always receive the same Juts
made up, of whioh .they confess to having no aqprance
in trusting them ia ths hands of their owp farriers.,
The splendid' establishment of Mr/Womrath,'oiT
\rch street, we need notssyto onr readers at all fa
miliar with the architectural beauties of our city, is
ime.of.tbe owt mporb business edifices In this country..
Its chastely ornate front of Nova. Scotia pietoa stone,'
aurmouutod, as it is, with appropriate zoological repre
sentations, presents to tbe stranger a point of striking
Interest. Nor are the interior' arrangements; of this
stately edifice less complete and extensive: The eharse
ter of this house, however, is not a wholesale business,
but retail exclusively, and as such it stands confessedly
unrivalled. In itjthe moat expensive Sets of fun far pro
ole of wealth in this and other lands are annually manu
factured to order, aod in passing through their mammoth
store-rooms and manufactory recently we were aton«*
pleased andjurprlsed to find the prtparal ir>r s ■
retail market on so extensive a scale Being the oiii. c
fur establishment' in this country; the onafidenee re
posed in its p-oprietor is flatteringly attested by scores
of his patrons in Baltimore, New York, and other places,
HAodiog their fur > to him every spring for safe-keeping
luring summer.
NWe ought to s ate here tbst Ur. Womreth’s exten
sive arrangements for obtaining furs directly front the'
Indians in this oountry has enabled him in not a few
instances to sell furs thus proaure'd, at a paying profit,
to parties who would lead the world to briiere, on pa
per, that every fur-dealer In the land, was trihatarv to
them. As regards the insinuation that furriers outside
if the very distinguished New Tork house, above refer
red to, would stoop so much as to impose upon the Sg
-1 norant by selling Marten for.Bussla Bable, It can cer
tainly reflect no greater suspicion upon any one than
hose in tho trade who seem to he most anxious to put
> iho public on their guard. In what we have -seen thus
'ar among our furriers here, their preparation for the
trade of the approsohing soason is creditable, and will
Joubtloss command, as usual, a liberal patronage, judg
•ag as we do from the present activity in our city in
other branches of the retail trade.
BuBlveBs and “toe Result.!*—Between the
■lull, rainy weather of Wednesday, the unseasonably
warm weather of yesterday, and the general rejoicing
over “the result” of Tuesday,business since then may
just'y be said to have been slightly at a discount. Upon
! ’be whole, however, so far as we have been able to
learn in our perambulations, the tadset of this tem
porary i omno’ency are thought to fully compensate for
their effects. The country was in need of rain, and the
dresent mild weather is of great value to farmers in at
tending to certain duties which frost wcitld seriously
interrupt. The rain of Tuesday night and Wednesday,
we art told, has been of great service in many quar
ters, and in dry sections afforded a deliverance from
drouth almost as gratifying to the residents as the de
liverance of the public crib from certain served-right
leeches has been gratifying to the people Upon tbe
whole, the business pulse of our city beats hopefully,
■vnd the utmost confidence is expressed by leading men
in the several brancree of retail ttade, that business,
between this and -the holidays, will be entirely satis
fic'ory. The general rejoicing over the recent triumph
of right over might, at the hands of an intelligent and
independent people, is so universal among our men Of
business, that, of the scores with whom'we have con
versed since the eleoUon, wo have not met the first
man to express himself dissatisfied wi*h the general
result. In a word, our business men, as a whole, are
jabilant and 'eel that, under the circumstances, a short,
breathing spoil In their coantifig-houses and behind the'
connter can well be afforded.
