It will be remembered that though the lady has been over six years sing ing in public, she is only twenty-three years old, We havo never heard, her, but have care fully watched-her career, so far as it has been chronicled in "foreign journals, since the early part of 1856; when she first appeared in Lon don;--The inevitable conclusion was, that ProootOMiHr must Be a great dramatic singer— that she is greater as ah oc ire'ti than a vocalist.

Hri W. H. Fav epeaks thus of the debutante, after having heard and seen her in the second, third, and fourth acts of « La Trariata “In-person khe iis ,-rather under tha middle height.

Th© last seen© of the broken-hearted, dying oonsamptive was best at the dose. ..The tromulonsagony of joy at meet ing her lover was oxcmlaitely faithfnl to nature. The impression left onus was not that or a grand hut a beautiful artist finished and fascinating. The applause of the audience was heartiest at the end, when Mllo. Pjooolominl received tho honor of \ triple oail before the'curtain. Hor dressing, we may add, was exoellent, in the best French taste. ; Tho Courrier des Efats Uni# has a critic, (M. : sb • Trobiand, we believe,) who ranks next to Mr. Fey, In knowledge of music. He iays, with a somewhat embarrassing shade of doubt upon his mind,: , ‘ ' **lafaot,!Miie. Pi6oolomini,von this first eve *)inge was far from produolng one of those unani mouSt deoisive.

An agreeable voice, but deficient in body and firmness, and aoting that had at times p'oo muoh mannerism, these were the weaknesses observed in the two first acts. In the last, the ixtist recovered.horself, both as to the singing and is to the eoenfc sentiment.- But she could not en tirety efface the first impressions, and in fine, the public .dispersed .with some hesitation as to the exaet rank to,assign the new.prima donna.. The toeond performance : will* doubtless, settle the juestion.V 1, « ,/ Nextr in admitted, merit,, as a good critic, cornea the New York. Courier and Enquirer* frr. Whits, the nepr editor of Sharspeare, waa announced to have retired from this chair 'months ago, but the manner, and senti ment, and knowledge of .the criticism upon is so very muoh in his style that Ve Busphcthe must have written it. He says, “ Of course it will not do {o attribute to Signora Picooxomini the peer less brilliancy of Jenny Lind, or the dramatic intensity of Grßisi, or the .mellow richness of &LBONI, or the exquisite grace of Sontao, yet it ought not to be forgotten that she is as jet but in the beginning of her career.” He then proceeds to judgment, thus: - “ Hor in rogard to the qualities of her voice was bar andianocioft long uncertain. Her sparkling Wol at the end of the drinking song, and her iria, Ah, for* elui.die , full of tender passion and beautifully exeoutod, revealed atohoe do common focal powers..'. Her voioe may be called a Soprano ife'sfogator^tL nd admirably combines sweetness, ilearness, and flexibility. - She sings, with little effort, and every tone responds froely. and charm •nglyto every changing impulse of feeling.: The part of Violetta nowhere imposes a yery severe esfc bf vocal capabilities, but the ease and success VithnWhibh she. executed that exuberant aria *ast mentioned, both in the pathos of the andante iud the vivacity of,the qulok movement which raoges up to D in alt, give rich promise of what re are tohear In more difficult musto.” ! It js as an actreßa, however, that this critic Her says,- •Mvas on the very.highest style of dramatic *rt, worthy, we might almost say, of a Ris» roßi oraHAOHEB.” f Tho critic of the Nieto York Times (Mr. Seyhouk, wo think,) writes with more care than knowledge,’ but, we are hound to admit, dways with undoubted honesty. There is a little cautions balancing of opinion on what follows, hut it appears to be a fair es timate: . < “ Without positive owllshness, it Is Impossible to bo blind* to tbe faot that M’lle Plboolominl’s in '3uence over the andlenoe. Is the result more of, nanner than method. She Is not an astonishing fooaliet, nor >s she gifted with’ a voioe of extraor- Unary power. If we try to analyze what ft is '.hat gives her pre-eminence, we must, at the out let, discard these ordinary considerations. Mach i? hervooal powers have been underrated, they 1 ire still in no proportion to her immense histriomo rtpaoity, -which embraces so wide a range of emo tion, that it ‘ overshadows everything else. Her voice is l a very ohan&ing soprano, soft, yet fall, Und of fair oomnass.' although evidently not 7et fully developed; 'ltls as fresh,'as voioe can be, and as supple as youth, without ranch ex perience, can make it. Under the impulse of ‘motion it vibrates with feeling, and by indo njribabJe inflections illuminates with efootrloal quickness a 7 train of deep sentiment, even as the dghtninz JUuminates the vale. • It Is this rare gift ffhich distinguishes true from conventional art, ibd we have seldom, seen it manifested moro won derfully than ini the oase of Mile. Piocolomini. ‘ 3er,entire performance is, in foot, a protest against conventionality, and to this circumstance we at tribute her great success in England, where things it? in everything - else,-move in the most tteady and antiquated grooves. To s&y that this independence of model is ; mere talent would be tbsardr- It is genias of the .best kind, because creative, and absolutely free from the taint of imi tAtion,! .Blended as it is with all the gracious Tiavlty of youth, and the bearing of good sooiaty, it Is not romarkahlo that Mile. Piccolomini aston ishes as much as she oaptivates her audiences.” ■ Then Tew York Herald) which landed Fhez 'touNi to the utmost,) says that {i those who expected to hear florid execution mast have been disappointed* . In rapid chromatio and ■itaccato pas3ages Piccoi.oMiKi is not sure. Her voice is pure in quality, and exceedingly sympathetic; it is a good soprano organ, but hot a great one* Tho lower notes are especi ally good, and with them she produces the re markable effect which the French cal) tho ' tears In the voice/ In that especially she has not been equalled within our recollection. But the truth .must, be told, even about a pretty .woman, and the truth is that Piccolo mini often Bings false, and has some had habits, q6£ to say a radical, faulty method. She he* longs to a school of Italian singers who have grown up with the Ysum operas, and who content themselves with giving an intense dra matic expression to the music without trou bling themselves about niceties of execution. The question for the public to decide is whether or not tho grand acting of such an ar tlst ns Fiocolohisi makes np for the absence of finished singing/* The Herald , no doubt, would gladly declare Madame da Wimiorst a finer singer than Piocolomini J , "We may be mistaken, but this combination of effective acting with expressive singing (which made Gazzaniqa’s leading attraction) ib just what the lyrical dramahas too long bsen in want of._ "When actors sing, instead of speak, we have still aright to expect that they will actually p«r/orm, suiting tho word to tho action, and the action to the word, just as they would do If they had to give the language in spoken words. There has been far too little of /his. . The vocalists have generally paid little attention to tho dramatic part of the pro fession/ They walk, over the course, as it were,until, a. display-piece comes in, and then,' neglecting the proprieties of the ac tion.; of the.* opera, rush. forwar4 to the footlights, sing with their best perfection oi art, taking no notice of the performer to whom the song should really he addressed, and are bent, all through, upon displaying wonderful .*rticulatidri, and throwing out' marvellous jots of execution, than In", seeking, fry expression) to carry out the dramatic intention of the opera. If Signora Piocolomini has the cou rage to go out of this beaten track, and make her singing oat- her fine acting, she merits praise, even though she he not equal, in voice, to, Sontao, limd, or Aibonx. As far as we can judge from what we read of her, Piooolomini's dramatic singing must resemble Malibram’s in earnestness, effect, expression* and sweetness. . . t To OaewALisr sln another part of our paper to-day will Be found an advertisement of interest to qapitalists,,. The opportunity for entering into a special or general partnership with the house referred- to, we should think, would be readily embraced. , ; , {TffANKsdrnha in Mississippi.— Governor MoWillio, of Mississippi, has appfrihted Thursday, the 25th cf November, as a day of Thanksgiving c hroßgheut that More ProBCriptio.il./ ,We are the Administration organs that Lecompt'dnism is a 1 “dead issue* 0 if this is why is the war «tUI continued upon Douglas ? Why is the guillotine kept constantly'at work decapitating antl-Lecomp ton Democrats ? The telegraphic news from Washington, which we published yesterday morning, announced that thirteen postmasters in Illinbis had just.boon dismissed. The pro scription, in that Stato, is of a character un precedented in the political annals of the na-< tion. Douglas postmasters are removed oven when their successors have to be sought in other counties than those in which the post offices are located, and- against tho .wishes and protests of the whole community. .In addi tion to the recent cases mentioned above, a correspondent of the St. Louis jßepufiiieon, writing from Springfield, Illinois, says: Another batch of political heads' have been out off. Some one says that tho Administration is determined to let out all the Democratic blood from the veins of the office-holders. This would seem,to ho the case, if we are to judge from the politioai character of those turned out, and those put in/ Our postmaster, Mr. Keyeß, has been re moved, and Mr. Morris Liadsay appointed in his plaoo The’postmasters at Rook Island, Gales burg, Belleville, Peoria, Bloomington, and very many smaller places, have shared tho same fate; also, a large number of routo agents, as we are in formed. We are at a loss to know the obiaot of all this—it certainly would not be done withoutan objeot If it is to defeat Mr. Douglas for the Senate/those who are engaged iu it aie doing just what they should not do; for every time an offioer is removed, he is at onoo an aotive and influential friend of Douglas. ' We are lnformod that considerable exoltomont wee manifested on the ooonslon of the removal of tho postmaster at Bloomlnptoa. A man living in another county was appointed to jill the place. The citizens of Bloomington being indignant at what they ehooso to'term an ontrage upon them — that is, removing a good'man and plaolng onowho did not reside in thoir oounty in his stead—hung an effigy, which was intended to represent the new postmaster. An effort being made by him to take Ft down.Ae was received, by a shower of stones, whtclt compelled him to desist. We have also been credibly informed that the new postmaster visited or sent to Chicago to get the United States marshal to induct him into the office. Wo oite this to show the state of feeling in this Stato. In these oases no orlme is allogod, no po- litical heresy charged, save allegiance to the Democratic platform of 1866, the regular De mocratic organization of Illinois, and friond ship for the gallant Senator lkom that State. We scarcely know whore to find a parallel for condnet like this, unless it be among muti neers on hoard a ship, who, when they re solve to tnrn pirates, kill all tho crow who will not join in their nefarious designs. Tho Ad ministration, not satisfied with betraying the pledges of 1856 Itself, and thus turning the ship of State In a different direction from that contemplated and desired by tho Ameri can people when it was entrusted with power,"is resolved to punish, as far as it can, all , who will'not imitate its recreancy and treachery. What, the people think of this proscription the late elections have, to some extent, indicated; bnt not fully, for probably nine-tenths of those who voted the Adminis tration tickets abhor its proscriptive policy nearly as mnch as those who voted against them. ' In Ohio and Indiana the proscription of Dodolas was openly and constantly denounced by the Democratic candidates and presses, and every Democratic Congressman elected is publicly committed against this insane policy. In Pennsylvania a similar sentiment is almost universal, even among the Lecomp tonites, except those under the immediate in fluence of our illuminated Senator and the il lustrious Jxhu G. Jones. It is also generally condemned in the South. Who sustains it 1 Where is the popular sentiment demanding it ? Where is tho great principle which jus tifies it 1 It is simply an aot of despotio, ar. bitrary power, disgraceful to a republican country, which covers with infamy those who are gnilty of it. It is an unwar ranted interference with the flee elections of a sovereign State, at deadly vari ance with the principles upon which our Government is founded, and it is a prostitu tion of the power conferred upon the National Administration by the Oonstitntion for Bpeciflo, purposes, to an end foreign to that originally contemplated, and dangerous to the liberties of tho nation. Tho President of tho United States was not entrusted with that high office for the purpose of using his patronage to in flneneaJiy’terrorism or reward tho freedom of elections. Though" custom lius iaTHlilnrl7'.Ktl us with the usual rotation in office which ensues When Administrations change, yet, had as that is, it at least has the sanction of popular sentiment, while the present crusade has no thing whatever to justify it. A Douglas De mocrat is guilty of what, if anything ? Of opposition to tho enforoemont of a Constitu tion upon a protesting people, and hostility to laying down one ratio of population for the admission of freo States, and another for tbo admission of slave States. For these opinions he mnst be summarily decapitated. The peo ple’s money must be used to strengthen senti ments odions to a whole State, and to reward faithless Congressmen when they are repudi ated by betrayed constituencies, os in the cose of Joneb and the Austrian mission. Noble employment, indeed, is this for a Democratic Administration! Improvement of Chestnut Street. Yesterday evening the now whtte-marblo-faoed store in Chestnut Btreet, nearly opposite the Gi rard Honse, and next to the hotel now in coarse of oreotioo, was thrown open for private view, by invitation from Messrs.

Tho visiters inoluded several well known residents on Chestnut street, chiefly old neighbors of Mr. Caldwell, and some members of the press. The exquisite beauty of tho building, inside as well as oat, was greatly admired. It is a chtj d'eruvre in its way. To-morrow wo shall publish a more particatar and full account. At present we can only thus generally express the admiration wbioh has been awakened by so Bplondid a building, admirable In its adaptation for business purposes and remarka ble for its beauty. Whither Does he Go? A very reliable authority, dating from Wash ington, or some other plaae, tells ns—in the strictest confidence, in wbioh we invito our read ers fully to participate—that Bennett, of the Herald has withdrawn his pretensions to take Mr. MasonU place, as Ambassador to Paris, and has been induced, <( for a oon-see-dee-raw-tlon, mon,” to submit to bo an offered candidate to re present the United Statos at the Fejee Islands, provided tho Senate will not too closely inquire whether he has ever beon naturalized in this country. It is considered pradent to send &s Minister to the Cannibal Islands, a porson too sinister-looking to be ever eaten, and the worthy in question would be qnita safe, for be would dis* agree with tho savages, at any rate.

Both mon were oonfldent and good n&- tured. and they shook hands oordially before com mencing. After muoh time had been wasted without de ciding on a roferee, Jim Uughos, a baoker of Beenan, stepped into the ring, and said : “ I will say here, gentlemen, that Mr. Hoenan is entitled to the money; this is against the rales of the ring ” lie referred to the foot that them was no turf ring, hut as so many persons have oome to seo the fight, he will go in and do it.

Billy Mulligan then said, “ Suspend the xulos and fight.” Morrissey said, “ There is no desire to get a re feree bore. lam satisfied that tho party doos not want to fight; be did not oome here for that pur pose. Now I will make one proposition ; I will let Messrs.

If this iutorest has boon noglected heretofore, it is pretty certain that it will not bo hereafter, but that it will receive a fair share of Federal favor and attention. I don’t think that tho effort whloh was made a few years ago to remove all duty upon railroad iron will -soon be repeated. The specu lators, however, very nearly suooeeded then. Judge Porter's letter of resignation is regarded hero &8 an evidonoe, on his'part, of unmanly tem per and puerile spile. Strange to say, he seems to be oared for by neither side—one using as strong language of denunciation of the man “ who could stand upon any platform ” as the other. The Star occasionally gets up & leader of high-, sounding phrases, liberally interspersed with ex traots from Sh&kepoare, pifohing into (JgyoFnor Paoker's Administration. The Governor did not interfere with the elections In his own State, whereas the Federal Administration did through the creatures holding offices under it, and itoonnot be borne with patlonoe that all the glory and all the honor of the popular favor should be for him and his Administration. What do the people mean by beingright when the general Adminis tration bids tho wrong bo done? It is not a certainty that Judge Blaok writes these artioles, and those who would think so base tfaoir opinion only upon the resemblance to bis style Others, be it not forgotten, oan as freely and frequently quote Shakspoaro as tho distinguished Attorney General. John Glanoy Jones aooepts the Austrian mis sion, and will at once take his departure for Vi enna. The question is whether the Senate will ; confirm him. I think that it will, for, although thoro are many Senators, North and South, disaf fected towards the Administration, yet the majo rity will no doubt yield acquiesoenoe in this mat ter to the Bxooutivo demand. Who will be ohalr man of the Committee of Ways and Means In plaoe of Jones? Will it pass from Pennsylvania? Will Mr. Buobanan allow this pledge of oaro for the in terest of his own State to pass into other hands than thoso of a Pennsylvania Representative? Will Mr. Orr oourt the ultra Southern feeling by the seleotion of a free-trade Bemoorat like his colleaiue, Mr. Boyoe, who made the report in favor of free trado and direot taxation at the last session ? Perhaps the oommlttee will be permitted to eleot Us own chairman, Mr. Phelps, of Mis souri, who was spoken of for Spe&kor in opposition to Mr. Orr, and was expeoted subsequently to bo selected as Premier of the House, may still take the latter position. Bat it surely cannot be allowed to leave the Pennsylvania delegation. The Washington Monument is again under the control of the “old board,” or that in power prior to February 22i, 1855. General Archibald Hen derson, General Walter Jones, Philip K. Feudal!, W. W. Seaton, Poter Force, W. W. Corcoran, Thomas Blagden, Thomas Oarbert, and J. Carroll Brent, Feqrs., are of that board, and they are substantial and worthy clll sens. Under their fostering guardianship the work went prosperously on toward uompletion, bat durißg the time the Amerioaos had It In charge there baa been nothing but confusion and delay. It will be reeolleoted that whilst they held sway, the stone sent here by the Pope (It was & block of fine marble from the famous old Roman temple of Concord) was taken away, broken, and the frag ments thrown Into the Potomac. This act of van dalism, it must be stated, however, has been con demned by men of all parties.

[Correspondence of The Press ] New York, Oct. 21, 1868. The Democratic party has Jnst lost one of Its most in telligent, influential, and experienced managers In Western New York, William Vandervoort, who died at Dorchester. Massachusetts, on Tuesday last Mr V was one of the two members (from the Eighth judicial district) of the Democratic State Committee; had been a delegate to State and National Convention*; the can didate of his party for Assembly and Congress, and was known as one of the controlling spirits of that party in Western New York. lie carried Niagara county In bis breeohes'proket as Church does Orleans, as Blchmond does Genesee, and as several persons do Erie. He was In affluent circumstances and was respected. Indepen* dent of fortune. John Van Boren returned from Europe lest week, whitwer he went in June for a little hilarity He la ex tremoly well oompleoted, looking as though he could enter' the political campaign with a gush and gusto raetly freshened by his voyage, on what Captain Md’erd Guttle describes ss “ that halmight/ helement, the hotlon.” Several of onr papers spe k in terms of censure of the oonduot of the civil authorities in not prohibiting the fight between Morrissey and Heenan. The autho rities are not blamable. There is no law by which men oan be prevented from going out ef tie State tor Buoh a purpose. When your Philadelphia giant, Bradley, fought Rankin, last summer, at Point Albino, Aeme twelve miles from Buffalo, It was found hr the police authorities that an arre*t of the principals or seconds could not legally be made On arriving at the fighting ground, in Oanada, about a deieu of the Cans dlsn constabulary appeared near the ring with their neatly varnished bludgeons, and, “ In the name of the Queen.” commanded the crop-eared, one-eyed, head shaved crowd to disperse. This was regarded as a very good joke, and excited considerable merri ment, but the constables were told, that if they at tempted in the least to Interfere la the seriminege, their heads would be unceremoniously punched; which they thought would be very apt to be tbe result, so after a “dreneb,” they joined the orowd, bet freely on the fight, allowed it was useless to attempt to ” com prehend sny of the vagrom men,” and returned to their respective homes, sadder but wiser men. The fact is, all of the counties of Oanada, lying ou Lake Brie, could not bring ont a force sufficient to disperse so rough and blaod-thirsty a set of shoulder-bitten as wore yesterday gathered at Long Point. 1 he result of the fight has taken no one by surprise, nor would it if the termination bad been different. But Ireland is Jubilant, and America dumb. The horsemen, tbe gamblers, tbe saloonists, and the people who take drinks, are fall of the thiig. In fact, they drink from the shoulder,” and gab about it to every maotheymeet, Sic vita! Ex* President Fillmore and wife ar* among the guests at the fit. Nicholas.

Alas! that in this great country tbe Inquiry should be so frequently made in reference to prominent men; ” What can he do?” instead of, ” What has he done?” The Democracy of George Taylor’s Congressional dis trict (Brooklyn) are in a high stato of effervescence Litchfield, the Independent (Vanderbilt) Democratic candidate, has so much efficient Democratic support, that it is feared he will either be elected or draw off enough from Taylor to insure the success of Humphrey, tho fusion candidate. The regullrlty of the Taylor men was endorsed at the State Convention at Byracu«e, and is supported by the Onstora Fouse and other Feder al officials j but Mr. Bacbanan cannot afford to lose a single man upon whom they count, bonce tbe effort* at compromise, the journeying of Mr. T. to Washington, and other movements to the same end.

So muoh for ” a hasty plate of soiip.” The debut of Piccolomini, last evening,. attracted the largest house ever seen at the Academy on an opera night. Every seat, all the standing places, door-ways, 'and passage-ways, were crowded. Of course the great point of attraction was Mademoiselle la Prineesse. Her conception and rend'-ti-n of Violetta was, in many respects, unlike that of the artists who have recently made it a speeialite. It bad all the neatness and dash of Colson, much of the declamatory fervor and effect iveness of G&zzaniga, and all the polish of Gassier. It evinced thorough comprehension pf the part, and was well sustained from first to last. What seemed to strike tbe audience, and orltlca and connoisseurs in the lobbies, as the noticeable characteristic of the per formance, was the vivacity, the archness, tho exquisite coquottl hocus which she threw into the lighter por tions of the first act, which was undoubtedly her best; though in the pathetic passages It would scarcely be right to say she was not equally good. Tbe debut of Signor Plorenza, as Germont, was also a success In addition to a smooth, rich, creamy voice, highly cultivated, his performance was marked by un impeachable taste and superior dramatic force. In some parts he was quite Impassioned, but he tore not things to tatters. He’s a capital artist: you’ll like him. The Democracy of Mr. Bleklss’s district ratified his DominstJoo with great enthusiasm and in great force, last evening, at the Chinese Assembly rooms. Besides the nominee, Marshal Rynders and Henry L. Clinton addressed the meeting. It certainly looked as though the Democracy were in no appreciable degree disaffected to their talented candtfate.

A reeolation was offered by the same oommittee. to whom had been referred the matter, setting forth that the committee had nnder consideration the charge of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department against the Fairmount Engine Company, claiming their suipebaion for disorderly conduct and looting to riot, on the night of Jaly sth, and that the evidenoe was of snob an an* satisfactory character that they deem it insufficient to warrant their suspension. A discussion ensu'd upon the resolution, of a some' what apicy character, afte*whieh tho report was re ferred back to the committee. A r-port of the same character, with reference to the Niagara Hos* Company, was made, declaring that the charges against the company were not sustain'd, ac companied with a resolution removing the suspension and reinstating the company in the department; which was agreed to Also, a report of tbe same character wm presented,-' with regard to tbe Franklin Hobo Company' for in citing to riot, declaring that the charges sgrinst the company were sustained, with a resolution authorising their suspension for one month An amendment was offered Increasing the time of suspension to twelvemonths; and a futther amendment by striking the Franklin Hose Company from tbe roll of the fire department. These amendments originated a running discussion of a more exoited and interesting character than any question of the session, which was participated in by Messrs. Gordon, Dennis, Potter; Wister, Brennan.and Msyer Upon the question of striking tbe company from tbe roll of the Fire Depa > tmont the Teas and nays were de manded, and resulted yeas 18. nays 48 An amendment was then offered striking out twelve months and inserting three, which wm the signal for extended discussion, in which' Mr. Msseher charged Upon members political bias in their votes, and in stanc'd the previous aotlon of Council in suspending the Moyamensing Hose in contrast with the r present oourse.

"Wreck op a Philadelphia Barque.—ln formation has been received in tliiacityof the total loss of the barque Phantom, Captain Quig wh'ch took place on tbo 17th ef Peptember last. The Phantom aailed from Richmond, Va., on the 28th < f Angus’, for Pernambuco, with a cargo of flour, and on the 17th nit., when in latitude 18 deg 18 min N.,10n 45 deg. 33 min W , encountered a very violent hurricane, during which she capsized and Oiled. Two men—the cook and stew ard—were washed overboard and never seen afterwards. We were unable to learn their names The captain was obliged to cut away the masts In order to save the lives of those remaining on board, who had to oHng to* the poop for safety, destitute of almost everything ex cept a few biscuit, which they were enabled to obtain previous to tbe vessel fllliog. The crow consisted of about twelve persons, in cluding the captain. After remaining on the wreck for five days, almost comoletely exhausted from starva tion and exposure, they were fallen in with by the Spanish brig Isola, which took them off and carried them to Havana, where they arrived on the XQth Inst. Captslu Quig is a Philadelphian, and speaks in the warmest terms of the kind treatment his unfortunate orew received at the hands of those in charge of the Spanish brig. The letter containing the information of the loss of the vessel was written by Captain Quig, on tbe 11th instant, to the owners in this city, Messrs. Welsford A Wilson, and does not contain very full particulars of tbe disaster. He expected to leave shortly for home. The mate, whose name we did not learn, has written toh'a wife in this city, and in describing the state of destitu tion in whioh they were left by the sudden capsizing of their vessel, he stated that tbesecond mate and himself “ had but one shirt between them » The hurricane in w> ich this vessel wzscapuzed seems to have been particularly disastrous to shipping, ac counts continually reaching us of vessels having fod dered at sea about that date; and many others, which should have reaohed their ports of destination long since, are yetmlssiog. ~ . . . ... Captain Q arrived at New Tork, yesterday, in the steamship Black Warrior, from Havana. Captain Dead.— Captain Cribbage, of tbe schooner Compromise, plying between this port and Odessa. Delaware, died during the voyage to this ci‘y. The vessel arrived io port yesterday morning. She was consigned to Christian As Kern. Coroner Fenner held an inquest in the case.

Cricket Match.— An exciting cricket match was played between the PhUadeloHa Indepen dent Eleven against this Hamilton. ofW»»t Philadel phia, ot> thegreond of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, at Hamden, and resulted in the defeat of the Philadel phians. Mr Johnson, of the latter, presented a ba’l, which was accepted on the part of the Hamilton, by Mr Dechort The Ham’ltons took the ba 4 s on Tuesday, making 70 i lakin contributing 17, Collins 14, and Tophan 10, all by very steady play. « The Phliadelphianß went to the hat, hat succeeded In obtaining but 4i, of which Xusenberry made 11 The HaralHons again went to the bat. bnt were not as ■uooemfht u they were the first Innings, making bnt 32. of which Bakin made 8.. j.„-, , The Philadelphians agiin took the bat, fall of confl deuce and certain of victory, sending their best men in first, in hopes of bestiog with few wickets; but'they were one after another despatched by Eakin and Water*, man. < When the seventh wicket fell they had but 13 to make to bent, bat Kubn was bowled first ball, and Bte* vena was taken soon after for 0; Boos the last mao went In, with bat a few to make to beat; probably one bit might have gained the match, bat luck was against them. Balnea beJns bowled by Eskin, thaa giving tire match to the Hamilton by only 8 runs. ' The bowling of L. Bakin, A. Waterman, and ■ Collins was splendid. A Soanx Sight. — Yesterday morning & young girl was sent from the Central Police Station to the House of Refuge, In accordance with the wish of her parents. Fheis, apparently, not more than four teen years of age, but one of the most perfectly incor rigible wretches we have ever seep. Beyond tbe In fluence of any moral impression, familiar with vie*of many and varied hues, and with a temper ungovernable, and an energetic desperation whioh has made her an ob ject of terror even to the inmates of her own .home, 'here was no hope for her. save in her consignment to the Houbo ef Refuge, and the employment of its sever est regimen. Whilst being taken to tbe carriage.- she 1 had to bo carried by four men, kicking and struggling violently. In tbe carriage she kept up her violence, kicking and attempting to bite and scratch the offi’er accompanying her. Whether the institution to which she has been consigned will be able to effect any change W« cannot say; but. judging from what we have seen and heard of her, we think there is but little encourage ment. The Fanot Bruisers.—Tho shop windows in various sections of the city flaunt cut, as an attract ive feature, plates representing the Benicia Boy and Morrissey, the fancy shoulder-hitters, in sparring atti tnde.an'l in the costume of the ring, and on Wednesdav evening, and throughout yesterday, there were crowds who gated with as much apparent eagerness upon these representaMons as if the aotual combatants were before them What a singular taste people have! The tchievor of renown in any sphere of morality or publip benefaction would sot commas* a tithe of the attention which is accorded these violators of every law, and who, for the indulgence of their brutality, are com pelled to evade tbe officers of justice in their own coun try acd fly to toe doubtful-security afforded them in another. Railroad Accommodations.—We perceive that the Camden ard Atlantic Railroad Company has established a local line for th-i accommodation of the country travel. The train is to run between Philadel phia and Egg Harbor during the summer months, t>nt to Absecom during tbe balance of the year, and to At- Untie City on every Saturday afternoon, from the firm of June to tbe first of October. The honr of departure has been fixed at six o’clock, P. M , during tho months of May, June, July, August, and September; four o’clock in December, January, and February; and five o’clock in March, April, October, and November.- The tram is to slop at all staUous on tbe road, and at (ueb other points ss may be indicated by persons on board or tignals from the road, and during tbe summer months to run twice a day Dangerous Pavements. — Lieut. Hampton. of tbe Second district, has reported upwards of foot hundred pavements in bis district as being out of ord«r. The high constables report daily to the Hi<hway De partment a large number of footways In a bad condition but no action appears to be taken In the mattor. The aide-walks of the city should all be repaired before the cold weather sets in. Female Thiee A colored woman, named Ann Devonshire, alias “ Little Parnell,”-was before Alderman Femiogton, yesterday, on the charge of th larceny of a quantity of wearing apparel, the propertv of Harriet Stevens. Several other charges are said to be pending against the accused, who was committed. Bh* has but lately been released from the Eastern penitentiary. ' Man Drowned.— A man named Thomas Shinabay was found drowned at Noble-street wharf yesterday morning. He is supposed to have been lying on a board and fell into tbe dock accidentally. He was tbo proprietor of a restaurant on Callowbill street, near Delaware avenue. Ho was fifty-six years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. Dangerous Sport.— A lad named John Oochran attended a ball on W-dnesday night, at Sixth and Christian streets, and became somewhat intoxicated He went into tbe street and commenced playing with a pistol, which, discharging, injared bis thumb end two fingers ro badly that amrutation will bo necessary He was taken to tbe Pennsylvania Hospital. Tiik Christening.— Tho liquid used by Mira Jane in cl rUtenine tbe sloop --Lancaster,” was wine mado from the native grape of Lancaster county and brought to this city by hU Honor Thos. H. Bar rowes, Mayor of Lancaster. It had been announced, however, that the christening would bo performed with wator, as stated in our report. Another Fluid Lamp Explosion.—A fluid lamp exploded in a house in Wiatar street, C?e»man town, setting fire to tho window curtains, and burning the hands of Mary List, a young lady, very severely. . Fatal Accident on the Hudson Riveb Railroad.— About half past four o’olook yeser (Jay afternoon, a man was run over and instantly killed near Yonkers, on tbe Hudsou River Rail road, by the Sing Sing dowß train. The train was stopped as soon as possible, and his remains were conveyed to Yonkers, but the body was so shockingly mangled that it was found impossible to identify him. He was walking upon tho iraok when the acoident occurred. Tho oßginoer gave tho usual signal of danger, and immediately ap plied the patent brakes, stopping the train within twenty rods, but not in time to prevent the engine and first oar from passing over him.—iY. x. Post of yesterday. The Health of "Washington Irving.— A correspondent of tho Riohmond Enquirer, wrote to that print that Mr Irving was seriously ill at his residence. Tho New York. Times of yester day morning corrects the report and sayß: “ Mr. Irving, it is true, has been indisposed, having re ceived another slight attaok of his old oomplafnt— fovor and ague—from whioh he has nearly re covered.” Bights and Wrongs of Travelling Ne groes.—The Supreme Court of Miohigan has do oided that the proprietors of a steamboat are not obliged to give a colored person a oabin passage, if such be the regulations of the boats. The infer ence from tho judge’s opinion is, that the oaptain has no right to refuse a negro passage generally — on deck. The Cook Legacy.—The great Cook legacy has been actually received at Brandon,-vt., and 80,000 has bean paid to tho heirs in that town nnd vicinity.

As. the train proceeded onward towards this city, the balloon* were kept In sight all, nigfcs, apparently making a direction almost dne east. Both, {also ap peared gradually to work;, t 0,,, the northward, and towards’morning the one whioh was nearest when firsi.dfeaqverea bad obtained an elevatl-n - , directly .over, the.train, while the other was ranch to the southward. When the train reoohed this city, whioh was about five o’clock yesterday] morn ing, the locomotive had gained upon them .so that one bore nearly south of west, and the other a very , little south of southwest! They .were evidently separating, the southernmost working .rapidly to the east, while* the pother - was going Is a northeast direction. .After sunrise, Mr Thurston saw one, whioh then appeared to he working to the.northeast, and whioh. must have brought it' over a portion of the city. Mr. Thurston, pointed them out to a number of our oltisens, and we also learn that they were seen by several in various parts of . .the city, i Mr., Thurston .says that during the night both balloons* kept a strong .light .exhibited, r ".whioh" gave them the appearance, from the height at whioh they were,' of burning 7 stars. J They must have made very rapid progress from Cincinnati, which place they left at four O’clock Monday afternoon, passing due.north until they came withiMhe in fluence of the lake winds, when they followed the shore lake due eastward. . The separating point appears to have been near thisoity, when, pro bably, in cousequenoe of the experimenting, they had got into diuereutourrentsof air, and immedi ately diverged—one peering northeastward and t e other, as near as could be judged, a little sonh of eastward. Mr. * Thurston says that both brilooDs, after daylight, "appeared at an ex tra ordinary height. Our informant, Mr. Thurston, has been on a visit to Michigan to * obtain tidings of his lost brother. He informs ns that nothing has yet been heard of him, and that all hope Has Men given up. It is believed, from circumstances, that he landed from the balloon alive, in the immense marshes bordering on Lake St. Clair, and in his then ex hausted condition, perished before assistance could be reaohed. P. B.—Since tho above was put in type, the after noon telegraphic report; announces that both bal loons descended near Sandusky on Monday night. We presume that it is intended only to say that they desoended within bell, so t as to make them selves known, and report progress,'which was the intention on >tbe start) and again ascend.- We see no re&son.froxn this ciroamstanoe to doubt the correctness of our informant's information) and tba testimony of a large number of our citUens. Prom this despatch it would appear that Mo'db. Godard’s was the southernmost balloon) and that Steiner's has gone towards LakeOotario. & FINANCIAL. AND COMMERCIAL. The Uloney Mavket.
