Counterfeit halves and quarters of a dollar aro very common, and to some extent, all the other coins, both silver and gold, have been counterfeited. There, 'are even seine counterfeit three-cent pieces in circulation, five and ton-centpieces, gold dol lars, quarter eagles, five dollar pieces, tens and• twenties ; but the two latter are very rare. Many tests are' in common use, to distinguish the base from the true coin. Some people trust altogether to their palate and teeth, and try, by the taste or hard ness of the coin, its genuineness; others rely mainly upon the sound of the coin, and suppose that by jingling it upon the counter they clan decide whether it has te the ring of the true metal." Some think that the mere appearance of the coin is a sufficient guide, and that a brassish look of a gold coin, or a leadish look of a silver coin, stamps them at once as counterfeits.' Some rely upon rubbing the silver coins between their fingers, and if they are found to be greasy they aro pro nounced to be bad. Thus, nearly all the sense's are brought into requisition and coins aro tried by the sight, the sound, the taste, and the touch. The safest criterion, and almost the only one, by which the genuineness of our coins can be deter mined, is their weight. With all the inge nuity of counterfeiters, they have never yet discovered a method of making bogus coin of the same size and weight as the genuine. In nearly all vases, their coins are considerably lighter than thosb issued by the Government, although there aro a , few counterfeits that aro heavier, but they aro considerably thicker than the genuine. It is altogether unsafe to con demn a coin by its sound, as many good coins, which have flaws in them, have no ring at all, and some counterfeits have a very good ring. Neither is the appearance a safe guide, for while some good coins have a very bad appearance, some counterfeita have a very good one. The color of our gold coins of different dates varies very much, as well as the appearance of coins which are struck at the different mints of the country. The best guide which the appearance of coins furnishes is derived from the fact that all Go vernment coins aro struck by machinery, while counterfeit coins, with few or very rare ex ceptions, are cast in moulds; and it is almost impossible to avoid leaving upon a coin some evidence of the diversity in appearance which must necessarily result from these different modes of constructing them. It is a matter of great importance to the public that they should bo protected against the dangers of these counterfeiters, and that their dens and gangs should be broken up. The intelligence from Europe, received by the City of Baltimore steamer, is four days la ter than that received by the Canada. It will be found, at considerable length, in our paper. None of It requires especial notice. However, we are bound to draw attention to the fact that, in the four days following the de spatch of the Canada's mails, no London news. paper took the slightest notice of the fabrica ted rumor" publtshed by the Morning Ad vertiser (commonly called " The Tap-tub") of Lord DERBY'S intended resignation, of Lord Joan Resscu.'s succeeding him, of Mr. BRIGHT'S intention of supporting Lord Jour'. On the contrary, Lord DERBY, accompanied by Mr. DISRAELI and others of his Cabinet, attended the Lord Mayor's inauguration feast on the 9th inst., in excellent health and spi rits, and, so far from a whisper of leaving of- Ileo, boldly declared that ho would meet Par liament, in February, with various public measures which,Nhe hoped, the country would generally approve of. In fact, exactly as we anticipated, 'there never was anything but flummery imthe " ru mor" invented by the Morning 4dverliser—a rumor put into print either to get that gin -and- Water journal quoted in the American press, or to affect the money-market at New York, or, for potk. mimes. This is the sixth at tumid, in 'this yeai 1858, to play this game, and we call oh the Associated Press to issue or dora to their agents and news-collectors in England, prohibiting them from again quoting, except avowedly as a canard, any rumor" or fact from' the Morning ildvertiser. The final arrangements for starting the new Union Bank are" completed, awl official notice is given in another column that the banking room Will be thrown open today to the publio. The lo cation selected by the directors, at the northeast corner of Third and Arch streets, is most admirably chosen, being at the very oontre of a large busi ness area which has hitherto had to depend for bank accommodations upon institutions at a distanoe: lietond, Fourth, and parlionlarly Third streets, north of Market, are, as avenues of trade, only surpassed by Market street, and Arob Street is already filling up with splendid stores and bazaars as far west as Tenth street. From those ;undone of the oily the " Union" must naturally receive and retain a large line of deposits, while it cannot fall to draw a large number of valuable customers from Market and Front streets, to whom it ill certainly nearer than any of the older banks. In the fitting up of the banking-room, the ru ling sentiment in the Board of Directors has been to secure the best accommodations for the business public, and the safest possible vaults for the secu rity of monies. The main banking room is large and well-lighted, and the offices of the president and °ashler are very conveniently arranged. The plan of arrangements for the interior was furnished and carried out by Mr. John OruMp, of this city. The desks ore of oak, and the doors and woodwork generally are grained in imitation of the same wood. All the painting was executed by Messrs. Huneker do Brandt, who have acquitted themselves of the task in most creditable style. The iron work is done by Steward d Stevens, Cherry street above Sixth, in the moat substantial manner. The arrangements of the iron doors inside of the vault are complete, and decidedly burglar-proof. The door of the main,vault is Cady's patent, and is al together one of the most reliable combinations of chilled and wrought iron ever seen. The look on the main Vault door is "Yale's Treasury Look," from the celebrated manufactory of L. Yale, Jr., ,b Co., No. 248 North Front street Tho brink masonry work around the vault is very strongly built, by M. B. Afflick, with atrohambers, well scoured with iron. Tho Bank starts under the most favorable auspi ces, and must undoubtedly aesuro a commanding position among the banking institutions of onr city.

A meeting of unusual interest was held at Jayne's Hall yesterday. to engage in religious ex ercises, with special reference to the foot of its marking the anniversary of the commencement of the noonday meetings for business soon, ill this city; on the 211 of November, one year ago, in the basement of , the Union Methodist Episcopal Church, Fourth street, below Arob. The meeting was nearly two and a half hours in duration, and was among the largest ever held in that spacious hall. At 11* o'olook, precisely, the chairman, Rev. John Chambers, opened the exercises. by an nouncing the first hymn in the Union Hymn Book, commencing— " All hail the power of yens , name • Let 'agate prostrate . Which was sung with remarkable spirit by the congregation while standing. The hymn conoludod, and an earnest prayer of fered by the Rev. Mr. Curtis, of the Methodist Church, the Chairman read from the Sacred Vol ume the 133 d Psalm, as follows: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity ! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon We beard, even Aaron's board : that wont down to tho skirts of We garments, [even so, said Mr. Chambers, the precious influences of Jayne's Hall prayer-meet ings have gone forth even to the outskirts of cre ation f] as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion : for there the Lord commanded a blessing oven life forever more." In addition to this Psalm, sundry other brief passages were road illustrative of the Christian duty of brotherly love ; at the oloso Of which, the Chairman, in view of the object for which they were assembled, entered upon a brief, though concise and succinct, historloal account of these extraordinary meetings from their com mencement, referring more espeetally to the cir cumstances attending their origin through a young gentleman, then upon the platform. As, however, all the facts presented have heretofore been given in The Press, It is not necessary to reproduee them now. Those opening remarks of Mr. Cham bers, made as they were in his usual fervid style, and interspersed with ardent appeals and sanguine hopes, had the effect of raising the expectations of the assembled masses, and infusing a spirit of harmony which seemed to pervade the meeting to its close, and give to the movement a now impetus for the' future. The fret speaker introduced was the Rev. Joseph Kennard, D. D., of the Baptist Church. He re ferred to tho remarkable gnomes which had at tended this prayer•meeting movement from Its commencement, and dWelt eloquently upon the many hopeful conversions traceable to its influ ence. It was true, there had been a tow under tone 'whispers (and they had never risen to any thing higher than that) of slight friction, occa sionally, among the brethren ; yet he doubted if there had boon any single congregation in this city, in which during the past year less of this m oaned friction had existed than in this great union gathering, embracing hundreds of so many differ ent denominations. This, Dr. Kennard thought, was a fact of striking significance, and clearly in dicated. the practicability of Christian union among the different branches of the church in all the points really essential to such a union. His appeal to the unconverted, who had thus far re sisted the awakening influences of those meetings, was exceedingly touching, and moved many of the congregation to tears. The next speaker was Mr. Shilllngsford, ono of the original attendants upon the business men's noonday meeting. To illustrate the necessity of humbling ourselves In coming into Christ's king dom, through the true door of the sheep-fold—Jo sus, the divine Saviour—Mr. S. related the fol lowing beautiful incident, which was said to have occurred in a church in the Interior of Ponnaylva nia. Ate sooial prayer-mooting on a summer's day, while the services wore in progress, a little bird found its way into the room. Affrighted, in its apparentoaptivity, it Hew on anxious wing to every window, seeking for egress. Its movements were watched with doop interest by a lady in the congregation, who had for some time bean under deep religious conviction, but who, hitherto, had been unable to see her way clear into the arms of her Saviour. The little bird at length, tiring under its anxious Hight, was compelled to lower its position from sheer exhaustion, when It espied the open door and at once escaped from the room and alighted in the branches of an adjacent tree, where it commenced a sweet carol over its fortu nate release. All this was the sermon to the lady referred to, which she needed to guide her to the cross. She, ,too, bad boon vainly striving to es cape from her sins, through the windows of hu man lights, but she had never before sufficiently humbled herself to see her true Saviour, the open door of the sheep-fold. From that moment she was converted to the truth, and while the little bird sung for joy over its release, In the tree, she made melody in her heart for what the Lord Toms had done for bar soul. The next address was made by the Rev. Dr. Brainerd, of the New School Presbyterian Church, who, it was announced by the chairman, would be succeeded by the Rev. br..Leyburn. Dr. Brainerd, in coming forward, said that he bad confidently hoped that Dr. Leyburn might - precede him, as he knew that gentlensan'a ,speeoh would have the elect of warming him (Dr, B.) and fit him for a better speech. He felt, moreover, a very serious embarrassment in attempting to speak at that time, which he attributed to two causes : First, 'the meeting bad been started on so high a key by the chairman that, to ascend beyond that seemed a thing Impossible; and his second ammo of em barrassment was, that throughout all the connec tion he had sustained to thee° meetings, hie con gratulations had been so hopeful, and his expres sions with regard to the future so sanguine, that nothing on these points now remained for him to nay. (Thetas remarks of Dr. B. brought forcibly to our recolleotion his glowing address on that platform some months before, which he concluded with the expression of his faith in the continuation of these meetings "until the millennial sun shall streak the east !"J He could not agree with his brother Kennard in his remarks respecting the friction that bad obtained is those gatherings; ho had followed them up very closely, and he was glad to bear his testimony that he had discovered nothing of the kind. Ho also made an interesting statement respeoling the diffmultion against which prayer-meetings had to-oontend fifty years ago. At the close of these remarks, the Rev. Dr. Loy burn, of the Old School Presbyterian Church, came forward, and delivered a most forcible and impressive address. His whole heart was with this movement. He had, some time ago, been ap proached by a member of hie own denomination, with something like the following: "Sir, how is It? I learn that you aro mingling with and lend ing your. countenance to the religious revival. I am surprised to hoar this of an Old School Pres byterian." " Sir," said Dr. L., addressing him self to the chairman, "if, at that moment. all the earth had been resolved into a general crash about my ears, I could not have been more sur prised than I was to hear such an interrogatory." At this print the speaker entered upon an inte resting account of his early ministry. He felt himself to, much indebted to religions revivals to say aught against them. His own birth into the Kingdom had been in the course of a religious re vival, and, during several years of his early min istry, in the Slate of Alabama, it had been his for tune to ace hie poor services blessed, more than once, with a true revival of religion among the people of his charge. There was, said ho, great danger of our religion being mellowed up in what is termed the " re spectability " of the world. Christians in our large cities were accustom,' to living in " ro- Ppectablo " houses; to being surrounded with " re apootablo " furniture; having respectablo " churobee to worship in, and to having every thing conducted in the most " respectable " manner ; and the thought had once struck him that, if over his coal was to die, tho following would be his meat appropriate epitaph : " The soul of The Reverend John beytearn Died of Respectability." The concluding remarks of this spanker were at once felicitous and affecting, and evidently made a very deep impression upon his hearers. The Rev. Mr. Kenney, of the Methodist Episco pal Church, was next Introduced. and made an earnest appeal, with special reference to the young men In the employment of the merchants assembled before him. He considered that a very great responsibility rested upon every professing Christian who had young men in hie employ, lia ble to be noted upon by the Influence of his ex ample• Dr. Cooper, of the Episcopal Church, was the next speaker fie Mao epoko in terms of the warmest approval of this great union effort, and urged upon all present the duty of lending their Influence to extend and maintain it to the utmost of their power. The concluding address was made by Mr. John 0. Blirs, whose name hod been no often and so honorably referred to by the brethren, both In their prayers and exhortations, es the young man through whose agency those meetings wore origi nated in this oily. lie was evidently deeply im pressed with the allusions mode to his efforts in that behalf, and the burden of his remarks was, that he disclaimed all merit In the matter himself, having, as ho believed, but done that which the humblest child of God might have done, and to .God alone should be given.the glory. Ile alluded will:virtual feeling to some of the incidents whioh bad obaraoterised the year that hes passed, and olosed with the exhortation that all might feel themselves called upon, personally, to engage in the Master's service. We have avoided any reference to the prayers and hymns with which these solemn and interest ing services were interspersed, from the fact that onr space allows but a meagre outline of the several addresses. Upon the whole, the meeting at Jayne's hell, yesterday, was one which will interest the religious community throughout the length and breadth of our country, more than any similar event that has transpired in our city for several months. At the conclusion of a few remarks made by Mr. George H. Stuart, at the close of the meeting It woe announced that from this time forth the busi ness mon's prayer-meetings would 'be resumed regularly, at Jeyne's Gall, every day nt 12 o'olook, It was nearly two o'clock when the congregation was dlemissed with a benediction, pronoeuaod by the IR•ey. fir.

[Correspondence of The Preemj Weennmeoct, Nov 23, 185 8 The explanation of bin position on the subjeot of slavery in the Territories, by Senator Douglas— for the article in the Chicago Times is taken to be, and undeniably is, his doctrine—is being gab jaded to the most searching oriticiem. It may not please those gentlemen who believe in the doe trine that, under the Drod Scott decision, slavery OEM be carried into 'Slates and Territories, and bold there in defianoo of the popular will ; but it will be accepted by the manses, North and South, at the most sensible, and practical, and unanswera ble solution•of what is shown as the principle of popular sovereignty. The following is, to brief, the position of Judge Douglas, as set forth in a late number of the Chicago Times. Speaking of the Demooraoy of Illinois, that paper declares their position—and, per consequence, that of their in domitable leader, too—to be as follows " They support the decielnn of the Supremo Court in the Dred Scott ease, in the sense that it guaranties to the owners of slave property an equality with tho owners of other property in in troducing it into the Territories ; contending also that as slave property is thus placed on an equal footing with other property, it, like all other pro perty, must be subject to all such local laws of the Territories as do notinfringe upon the Constitution of the United States ; that slave property being thus placed on an equality with other property, if it require higher and further affirmative legisla tion for its protection and security than is afforded ,to other property, and the Legislature of the Ter ritory should decide not to discriminate in its fa vor to that extent, then the failure to obtain that higher protection than is afforded to other property is a misfortune attending that description of pro perty, for which, the Democratic party have no remedy and are not responsible." This leaves the whole matter to the people of the Territories. If, when sieves are introduced into the Territory, the people, through their Le• gislature, shall declare in favor of slavery, there is an end to the contest, up to that time; and if they fail to do so, or declare against slavery, the latter must be the loser. Jefferson Davis offended the Charleston Mercury moat seriously when, in his Portland speech, last September, he declared, in effect, that without such sanction, slavery could not exist in the Territories ; and I recollect well that nearly the same views have been expressed by Messrs. Toombe and Stophene. I know, and you know, that there is another theo ry, to-wit : That if the Legislature ora - Torritory refuse to' protect slavery in the Territory, Con gross must do so. This doctrine, held by some of the ablest men of the South, and by them most plausibly advocated, Can, in my judgment, produce nothing but evil. Congressional zntervention, either to protect or to prohibit slavery, is the here sy against which we have fought for years. It was put down in 1856, as we thought, and it was assuredly put down in 1858. It can never be revived by a Southern man, who will bo sus tained by his own people, no matter how he may entrench himself behind the obitur dtctuta of the Supreme Court, or how ho may plead for constitu tional rights. And why? Because the practical result of invoking Congressional aid to protect slavery in the Territories, is to deliver the South into the hands of fanaticism, Upon each an ap peal the House of Representatives would be made permanently anti-South, and the Senate equally so. Let the South ever plant herself upon the dangerous dogma that Congress shall interpose to protect slavery in the Territories, and will not Congress bo much more likely to fall back, thus appealed to, with every instinot of Abolitionism revived, and every prejudice full and freshly armed, and prohibit slavery? For, if Congress has the right to protect, has it not a right to prohi bit? What is all this but the Wilmot proviso in another form ? I know that the extreme men of the South are anxious to commit the Democratic party to the declaration that slavery is higher then other property—higher than the Constitu. tion—and that while the people of a Territory have a clear right under the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the Cincinnati platform, and the Constitution, to vote 'on all their 'domestic institutions, slavery moat bo protected from the popular decision by Congressional intervention. If the Demooratio party could be, by any fatal oombioation of events, forded upon this platform, there would not be a township in the free States that would not decide against it. hence it is that no statesman, North or South, will ever commit himself to such a dog ma. It is too late in the day to make an appeal to extreme opinions in the Southern States by taking such ultra ground no line. Judge Doug las bag solved the difficulty, and has laid down the plain, practicable principle upon which na tional men in every part of the Union eau stand. I have soon in many journals that Washington begins to aria] from her apathy, brush away the dust for renewed Congressional labors; that the hotels exhibit their quondam crowds and wonted excitement, and so on. It is pleasant for ma to ac knowledge that man is a sofa animal, and I am rejoiced when I oan enjoy the pleasures of society; but really and truly never poor devil has had to live in such quietness and in such leek of life as has during the past five or six months your corres pondent. if, then, there were any signs of reviving animation hors, Bret of all, I would be glad to recognise them. Yet, strange to say, • for a month there has reigned here a snow equalled only since the creation, when, as Reinoirreliites, this world agreed to shout so as to be heard in the moon, and, waiting one for the other, said nothing. The only Sutter is in the little coteries of politi cians who linger here, year after year, to specu late on the chances of Presidential aspirants, the one or two clerk specimens of concentrated mys tery who are the recipients of the oontidenoes of their several Departments, the chirographists of the ,depari - montal reports to the Exeontive, and the boiled-eyed aril weary-brained statisticians who have vexed themselves to leanness, of Into, in trying to make it appear that this Administra tion is not extravagant, and that there is no ne cessity for an increased tariff. Yet, tho Banquo ghost of the millions already borrowed and gone, and the odes for larger expenditures in Indian ware, Paraguay wars, filibuster police, transporta tion, its., haunts their waking thoughts and their nightly dreams. It is amusing to observe the landladies and land lords, and haokmen, as they watch for the coming throng of strangers from all quarters. They seem to hear their murmur from afar, as Joseph heard the noble of the approaching locusts. The land lords have donned their broadcloths, the landla dies arrayed themselves in their silks and their satins, the hackman has new furnished his heck, new ladled his whip, and all are getting up and wreathing their mouths with the prima donna's smile, begging forpatronago. It I wore old cent par-cont, or the exact Mr. Gradgrind, possibly I could toll how much filthy lucre would stick to the bushel as it measures through the days and weeks of the winter in thin city. Enough of this now. Notwithstanding the denial of the Union, there ie much nervousness in reference to the success of the Paraguay expedition. lam glad you have kept out of The ess all allusion to the death of a celebrated individual connected with a sporting establishment of this city. Some of these details are as loamy:Ito as they are disgusting.

Loin) DERBY' ON FOREIGN POLITICO,—At the Lord Mayor's dinner, Nnv 9, the Earl of Derby remarked, with reference to foreign polities, " I do not say that complications may not arise, or that differences may not present themselves be tween different countries, but this I do say, and I say it with the confidence that I am spooking nothing but the bare truth, that all the great Powers of Europe are fully convinced, if not of the sinfulness of war, at all events of the noses. wiry evils attendant upon a state of war, and that the valuable labors of diplomacy are directed', and never wore they employed with more success and with more zeal than at the present time, to smooth diffloulties, to remove obstacles, and to find in every difference which may occur between various Pow ers, a peaceable rather than a hostile solution. [Cheers.] Ito considered the Indian rebellion as in the main put down, and that it would in duo course be entirely eupprossed, and ho hoped the message of pence and mercy which her Majesty was• advised to send out upon her acoession to the In dian empire—a message to all glasses Of those who returned to their allegiance—would, in connection with other measures, tend to restore our supremacy and the tranquility of the country." Reverting to our foreign polioy, the Earl expressed his belief that pence will not be disturbed, and that the policy on the part of this country which is best calculated to maintain the peace of the world is in the first place a firm but temperate mainte nance of our rights, in the next place a studious and careful recognition of and respeet for the rights of others, together with an anxious desire not to in terfere unnecessarily with the internal affairs of other States; and also a determination not wil lingly to give nr to take offence, a determination if offence unhappily arise to have reference to the principle which, to its endless honor, was embo died in the protocols of the conforenee of Paris— namely, to resort, in the first instance, not to hostilities, but to the good of and the me diation of some friendly Power. Lastly, as the cardinal point of all our foreign policy, the Lrm and unflinching adherence, in spirit as well as in the letter, to every treaty obli g Mon into which this o mntry may have entered. De must decline taking the bait thrown out by the Lord Mayor to elicit the future intentions of the Government; but he was actively, daily, and as siduously engaged with his colleagues In consider ing and maturing the detaile of those measures of legal, social, finanoial and political improvement which be hoped by the commencement of the son. .ion to be able to submit to the impartial judg ment of Parliament. [Cheers.' Ile could, how ever, state that they will be couched to a spirit of not endeavoring to serve this or that section of the community, but the whole people; not to le gislate for the high or for the low, for the rich or for tho poor, but for the well-underatned benefit and advantage of all °lasses.

The arrangements appeared to have been made without any attention at all to detail or order. With the exception of Morrissry himself, there was no one with a reputation extended enough to draw a dense to the hall. ma rounds were fought with excellent tact and skill. and the combatants ex hibited the utinee geed humor, although hard hits were given and taken on both olden. Thu minat sport ing debates were carried on and previous to the cur• lain rising, the audience had collected Into little knots and were busily engaged In dlecueaing the merits of favorite brulaers.

So much for the scene, and now for the adore : The Brat not-to was between twojuvende specimens cf boxers—John Morris and one Swift. They came VI time slowly, when Morris thumped Swift and Swift thaw pet Morrie around the etsge for a few moments, and they rented. Then they got at it Again, giving end taking very 'alertly for come donna blows. Some of the blows wore hard enough, to be sure, and in two or three fo ntanelle Morrie came near tumbling. Occasionally they tried a clinch, but one or the other evaded. The style of their boxing was net very scientifio. thourh Morris acted on hie guard very well during the whole set-to lie struck Swift e a coup eof Ain tern, which whirled him around like a top. but Swift genarally re tamed all he received, with spirit The round lasted sheet eight minutes, end the curtain fell amid some al fah t manifeetatic on of applause. The next set-to wee between a • hort s atont gentleman, announced as Dan Kerrigan. and another of the name of Hayward. Hayward wan ovary good boxer, and being taller than Kerrigan sent home BOMB very good blow". Kerrigan le very eelentille, and sparred with good judg ment, giving blow for blow, and thwarting every attempt to clinch. He wee very cautions In be move ments, and sometimes kept himself moving around for a minute or two before hitting a blow The com batants were applauded frequently, and fought for about eleven minute, The curtain was vary tardy in rising after the second combat, and the and ence were, an a matter of cense quence, very impatient. During, the interval a gent'e man, partly int, skated, Informed the audience that. In hie unbiased opinion. he thought Tfeenan could whip Morrissey. and that he could whip them both. This announcement crested a temporary excitement, which wee, however, Wiwi by the curtain rising for the thhd set-to, which was between the Dan Kerrigan aforesaid, and smother rather noted prmillat named Cosirove. This wee, by all odds, the meet exciting combat of the ever. inc. The men wore nearly equst in skill. though Cos grove kept hie right golmg in such a rapid manner that he soot home same bard bite on Kerritranhs face. Both exhihited extreme caution in their actions, bat, getting together. Cosgrove drove his easailant around the stage In a manner that threw the audion"e into raptures, and after fighting some ton minutest the curtain fell, amid very noisy demonstretinna of approval. The curtain cone for the fourth set-to, and the audi ence were aurprised at the announcement that Mr. Morrissey end Mr. (Mignon would clone the evening's performance by an exhibition of each one's peculiar merits in his peculiarly meritorious line of burliness. Mr. Morrlasey was received with every possible de monntration of regard. as far as stempi g. end shout ing, and clapping, and cheering could testify. A man, whose name we could not learn, stepped out before the combatants, and swoon col that, owing to a miaunder- Mewling. several of the most illestrious gentlemen who were to have been preeent bad not yet arrived, but that another exhibition would come off on Friday eves nine, at the name place. for Dlr.

Mr. Otiignon, his epponont, is a gentleman or Pal etatitan proportions, but withal en excellent boxer. He met Morriarey's attacks with skill and effect. but not being eo quick on his feet u Morrieser. struck him sell few blows. This set.te lasted about dee minutes, and the curtain fall amid mum applause. The exhibition lasted nearly on hour, and was over before 0 o'clock.

COUNTY —We lay before our readers the opinion of the Sup-ome Court. no de leered by Mc. Juetice Woodward, in the case of Thomas t's The Corrantssioners of Alle gheny county, on the liability of the county to pay the interest due on its limas issued to certain railrold com panies. The correctness of (hit decision seems to ha admitted on all hands, except a small party of factions opponents in the city of Pit'sbnrgh, who have teen the cline of all the trouble in which the quest'one at Wane here beep involved The grounds on which this oPPe• Bitten - hut Irwin based, are utterly refitted by the mu- Lady argnmenteontalund In Judge Woodward's opinion ; and the question or- the liability of - the county may now be regarded as definitely settled. We attach but little imir.rtacce - to that port - inn of 'lodge Woodward's opinion in which, departing from the line of h•e ar:ument, he wilynteers suggestions in favor of FMB kind of equitable relief. if the county bas no Wending in a coot of law to escape the full force of her liability, she ou thr certainly tn have less in a court of equity. particularly in Pennsylvan a, where law and equity are so Intimately blended, in disregard of the technicalitiet of both. We feel confident the Fupreme Court will never lay down the law as lediestedin this digression of Judo Woodward, and we and there exists, at the Par, a general concurrence in this belief The bond-holders aud the county were both before !become.' The third plea yet rerth all the grounds of defence on which Judge Woodward bases bier dicta Those allegations which, perhaps. are Pot ansceptible of proof, nom nevertheless dmtiectly admitted by the general demurrer filed by the complainants, and the court thus a-gemmed fall control over the whole subject. Now we ask, .bat prevented the court from deciding that they would award a mandmine to assess taxes only far interest on the amount actually received by the Railroad Cimpsulee, if it ever contempla'ed, for a moment. laying down any inch doctrine as the law of the caae lbetead of that, the court justly enforce the fall legal obligation of the county to pay the interest an the whole of the debt, without regard to the fact admitted by the pleadings, that the railroad com panies had negotiated the bonds at lees than the rate died by law. The excuse that there was an equitable remedy. is merely futile. Every lawyer knows abet. in Penn•ylvania, our,, a resort is net necessary, where the Othrt, Is asked to enforcethe obligation of a contract, in rathect to which it is settled, that anything that is a defence in equity is It defence at law.
