"With regard to the prospects of, the present
season,' the mercantile field in. Philadelphia
' heyer presented so flattering an -appearance as.
iow., ; . Therearc croakersin everycommunity,
and, perhaps/ hot without, their usis; but, bar-.
I BiSg these, the feeling in mercantile circles is
exceedingly huoyant:
“ Wo hmve taken pains to Inspect the stocks of
seyetal of-ouri hugest, most sagacious, and re
■ liable, houses on Market, Third, and; other
- streets, anfl found themyery muchlarger than
' usUat/ahd morh complete in all respects; and -
, What ls'more, their proprietors, who are best
ijualiflddto givean opinion in such matters, are
. sahguhie that the fall trade will be ftilly equal
• to theextraordlharypreparationsto accommo
date it:” All that is necessary to insure tho
most. prosperous. trade to Philadelphia this
' season- that she> has ever;, realized, Is a proper
concert of action bitween her Merchants; * Hon
orabie competition is the life of trade ;.but any
thing like 'metropolitan' internal, jealousy is
alwaysdetrimental. Let our merchants,'for
example, be a -unit in tho matter of detaining
. purchasers in thls market, by introducing new
’ men—known to be yorthy of credit—to our best,
; houses here,tin the several branches of trade,
and hundreds bf bnyera will, this fall make a
satisfactory (profitable and permanent aCquaint
anco with us. The reputation of -our business
■ meh for ihtegrity .and.feir dealing is proverbial,
’ although the advantages of this, have never
i, ; been hilly realized,' owing to our charactoris
i tie—we bad almost said culpable modesty in
hot asserting onr, superiority in other respects,
t The formed; discrimination against us in the
/ teatterofraUroadfares has been properly ad
i jiuted, andpirq rati /charges over the various
- lines have been adopted. Our facilities'also
5 for. transpbrtatioh have been'- rendered more
perfect.both by land nnd coast-wise, So that
a Mrge proportion of goods from points east
l pf us aro uow being Shipped through Fhiladei
/ jWa, "v ".'iX'J-'.VVf-'f.l.'/ • '
mcertain quarters about ex
cessive importations is;from' present - appear
ances, not .likely to, remit more seriously than
the recent Apprehensions of short crops. In
deed, slncetheCeesation of hostilities abroad,
and the certainty of an.'ahuhdaht harvest at
home, toe prospects have brightened so much
that men oh the. other'side of; the Atlantic
have, toonreertain khowlcdge', in several in
stances, remanded their consignments, the
same having been re shipped, before payingtho
daties upon them, , the. owners feeling, confi
dent thatihe cost of freight willbe more than
realized in the advanced prices they will cqm
mand before the close of the season. Whether
this Is being done to 'any great extent, we are
not certain, but that it is ,resorted to at all is. a
healthy indication, and weakens the inference
that goods wHldeclinc as the season advances!
Onr'own impression is that goods can he
bought quite, as loty now, as they are likely to
be within the next sixty days. -
7 All' thingsconsiaered, onr own merchants
niiy reasonably anticipate a very satisfactory
trade. Scores of onr silk and generjl dry-
show purchasers stocks of goods, unsurpassed
inapy. other market,' and in point of taste un-
CquaUed. liarga warehouses extending from

One of the moat important branches of the •
business of, Philadelphia is her foot and Shoe
trade, which is measurably owing to her supe-,
riorfacllities for the manufacture of leather,
there being more kid, goat, and calf-skins manii
facturodin this city than any other in the Union,
'rhe oak barh, which our State affords in great’
abundance, is an immense item in our favor.
New York furnishes the hemlock bark, which
makes a common . article, Philadelphia and;
Baltimore, the former especially, being, the
principal oak leather markets; -Thesnperiori-.
'tybfPJfilekelpbla-mado’aboea Is universally
acknowledged, which is mainly. attributable to
the fact of her journeymen, in all the. depajta
ments.having been regularly apprenticed to

slippers they contain, a novice can distinguish
between Phltadelphia and Eastern work. • The

In the department"of Shoe Findings, the
houses of Messrs. Wk.'Johns A Son, and J. W.
Paine, will .compare favorably, with any other
in this country. For Gentlemen’s Furnishing
Goods and Tailors’ Trimmings at wholesale,
the honse . of. Messrs. LoNaoopE A Peabob
will be fonnd.to ofl'er superior advantages. In
the line of todies’ Dress Trimmings, tho en
terprising house of Messrs. Evans' A HaSsall,
from its reputation and extensive facilities for
accommodating , the trade, is .worthy of liberal
patronage. In the Hosiery department, the
ikvorably known house of Messrs. H. Duh

From the attention we have given to ■ our
General Dry Goods Commission Houses, we are
led to believe that their preparations for trade
are superior to any former season. Among
this class the old and popular houses of Messrs.
Thomas A Mabtin ;' Weluho, Ooppin, A Co.;
Joseph Lea, - and others, deserve notice.
Messrs. "Wolve, Wilson, A Co.—more espe

Dry Goods ; RniowAv & Flimo, under the same

object was merely to mention a few of the

Extraordinary Document.
The New Yotk herald, of yesterday morn,
lug contained a special despatch thorn its
Albany correspondent in these words:
■ Albant, August 3,1859.
I send you a verbatim copy of a letter from Gover
nor Wise, of Virginia, to a distinguished friend of his
in this State, the language of wnioh is so Incredible
that I could not have doomed it genuine if I had
not myself seen tho original, and ill wero not per
fectly aoquainted with tho Governors handwriting.
Moreover, the letter is in the possession of gentle
men who will be able to produce it if any question
is made concerning its authenticity and 'genuine
ness. The literally tremendous sensation whioh it
has oreated here oannot be exaggerated. The re
port which I see in the morning papers, that Judge
Alien and others bad written to the State Commit
tee, and that Delos Do Wolf and Hassell, of Ulster,
wero hereopposing Wood, Islnoorrect. Its founda
tion was undoubtedly the vague impression which
prevailed last evening, that subterranean njutter
mgs wero clearly discernible somewhere, and the
quid mines hastened togive thorn “ a local habita
tion and a name.” This morning the murder is
out, though I inelino to think thatthe Herald will
have exclusive possession of the following letter:
LETTBB FBOM GQV. WJSB.
KiomioNp, July 13, 1859.
■ Dear Sib : , I thank, yon for yours of. tho Bth
instant. I havo apprehended all along that tho
Tammany Kogonoy would oarry a united delega
tion from Mew York to Charleston. For whom?.
Douglas, I know, ie confident; but yon may rely
on tt that Mr. Buchanan is himself a candidate
for renomination , and all his patronage and
pouter will be sited to disappoint Douglas and all'
other aspirants. Onr only chance, is to organize
-by dietnots, and either whip' tho enemy or send
two delegations. ,
If. that is done or not dono, we must still rely on
a united Sonth. A united Sonth will depend on
a united Virginia, and I pledge yon that sho at
least shall be a unit* Virginia a unit, and per,
sistent and firm on a sound platform of protimon
to all persons of popular, versus squatter, sovereign
ty, she must rally to her support all tho Sonth.
It is a sport "culm ail rljo emja oPmack TUpubli
canißm. Ha then will kick np his typela. If he
does or don’t he can’t be nominated,.and"™* main
argument against kisnomiitation is that he can’t
ie elected if nominated. If he runs an inde
pendent candidate, and-Seward nms, and I am
nominated at Charleston, I can beat them both.
Or, if squatter sovereignty is a plank of the plat
form at Charleston, and Douglas is nominated, the
South will run an independent candidate on pro
tection principles and run the election into the
House. Where, then, ifOuJdMr, Donglas bo? The
lowest candidate on tho W, If X haye the popu
lar strength, you suppose it will itself jhz the nomi
.nation. Get that. <Cnd I ameoiijident of success.
Hon. F. Wood is professedly and really, X bo-
Hero, a friend, and of course f would, in good faith,
bo glad of his influence, and would do nothing to
impair it, and coold not justly reject his kind aid;
but you may rely upon it that f am neither com
pletely, nor at all, in tho bauds of bfr. flood, or
of any other /man who breathes. Ho has always
been friendly to me, and I am tp him, but always,
on fhir and independent terms, -There is npthipg
in our relations whioh should keep aloof any friond
of either. Heknows as well as anyone can tell him,
that his main influence is in the city ofifew York,
and I judge what you say of his country influence
is correct. But lam counting all the time without
Hew York, and don’t fear the result. I am de
pending . splely gpoa position of principle, in?
dependent of all cliques, and defyjng all comers.
We will overwhelm opposition in Virginia, and her
vote will be conservative and national.
At all events, I shall, always be glad to hear
from you, and am.youra truly,
Hsnbt A. Wise.
The recipient of this letter kept its oxlsteneo a se-.
oretj until within about a week. He then sent a copy
of it .to one or two friends, who communio&ted it to
Mr, Dickinson Mid some of those Hards who aro
identified with his interests. They, at the same
time, requested tfr&tftr. picftnsqniwuld exchange
views with them concerning ft, and expressed strong
anxiety and distriutlest, under suoli oircumitapceß,
the original-Astor House Committee programme
might be intended by some of its movers as a snare,
and might not, ti*ult injuriously to himself. b£r.
Diokinsop replied in full and most nobly to tho in
quiries address*} tp him. He declined endeavoring,
either direotly or indireotly, to influonce the action
of the State Committee > but declared that he was
perfectly convinced of the peaooable dispositions of
tho majority of leading Softs, and of the absolute
duty of meeting their advances with the utmost cor
diality. He said that neither the State of N. York,
nor tho North generally, were entitled to a Pre
sidential candidate at Charleston, and that there
fore. if by any chance such a one was ohosen, it
woqld be the freelactof the South. Therofore, that the
great object at present Bhpfild be tomnite the party
so as to send &P pqdtyidod dslegatiqn to Charleston
which should vote as a unit. Jja disclaimed all
EersonAl ambition, bnt urged his friends forget
im and look only to the point cf Deipocratio concord
as the end of their efforts. Confirmed ny this
knowledge of Mr, DiokfnSQn’a fieyjs, perhaps (al
though their minds had been made up before,) tho
members of the Astor House Committee resglyod
that tho letter whioh thoy wore framing at Congress
Hall should bo conohed in tho most friendly terms,,
and it was individually agreed to among them, that
thoy would co-operate in a friendly spirit with all
of all sections who should actina manner calculated
to promote Democratic unity, .
' The ont-door feeling has been most ouriously ex
hibited. Yery few have seen the text of wise’s
letter, but the substance of it is more or less cor
rectly known, and. the most curious combinations
appear to.be inprqspeot. It may be asserted that'
Messrs. Grossweil, Russell, Richmond, Fooler,,hod
oven Joijrett, dagger, Jtepnedy and others, are'alt '
in tho same bed-room together, if not in the same
.bed, . . 1
The Kew.yojk Tribune ap4 TiIJW fitafe fhat
Mayor mufih incensed at the produc
tion of. the above letter, and denounced it as a
forgery. This is our opinion. We have no idea
that the bold and chivalrous Virginian who,
in 185$, go gallantly encountered the “ black
knight with his yieoy 4 own >” and who wielded
his- trenchant battje-axe fopeiiiqfit qpiongfft the
cbfunpjons .of the jjepiocraoy, vyopld baye
written such a document. Proof of the genu
ineness of this letter would at opco and forever
smother alt the prospects of Hr* Wise for the
Presidency.' No terms Of censure would be
too severe to be applied to a Presidential can*
didate resorting to the machinery which is ?e
-commended, by - tbis jetter. Wd notlpo that ft

spicuous for its violent opposition to, and viru

the conclusion that the letter is a forgery, is
that tho name of the person to whom it was

It is now understood here that the pretext whibi

not inoluded in it. Mr. Buchanan is well aware j
that the Constitution of Mexico prohibits such;
oession; and that to make it would cause the im
mediate downfall of President Juarex and tho Lb

positively and unequivocally refused to entertah
the proposition for its purchase. It is conjecture!

lating tho Mormons, and of allowing to them, by;
Federal action, tho establishment of a Territory
and ultimately of a State —exclusively 'Mormon—
may well bo doubted. The true course in reference
to these deluded fanatics is not to isolate them, bpt
to encourage thoir association and intercourse with;
others notinfeotod with their moral, political,.and >

of their abominable errors of faith and practice, ’
and to effect which the salutary preoepts and ex

MEETING OP THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE
NgW VOBIC TO SEKRA DELEGATION TO CIfARLKS
TON APPOINTED BV TUB STATE CONVENTION
GOSSIP AT AhEANy.
[Correspondence' of The Pfoss.]
IfEW York, August 4,1859.
Tho Democratic State Committee, at their meet
ing held yesterday, at Albany, did precisely what
I wrote you thoy would do, vis: lay down a pro
gramme for the appointment’of a fall delegation
to Charleston by tho State Convention. Tho op
position to this plan was less marked than many
had supposed would he the case, from the bellicose
demonstrations that had been mado by those who
were “of tho Hards, Hardy; ”, but that sootion of
the party presented a divided front, the division
being rendered more marked by the production of
a singular lottor from governor Wise, which no
doubt you have seen.
This was, of> course, a settler for the friends of
Governor Dickinson. Thoy would, by no manner
of means, consent to play second violin to the
shrowd ex-Mayor of New York; so, ooming to the
conclusion that discretion was the appropriate rir
tuo to bo exeroised on tho occasion, they went in
for tho call which had been unanimously agreed
upon by the State Committee, which is as follows:
Whereas , Some diversity of opinion exists
among tbo Democratic electors of the State in re-
Sard to the subjoot of the ohoico of delegates to the
'omocratio National Convention; and whoreas,'.
after duly considering the communications ad
dressed to this committee, advocating on the out/
sido an express limitation of the notion of the
Conyention, and 011 the other a more enlarged pro
scription of its duties; and after a full and free
consultation on tho subject, this oommitteo do not
feel disnogpd to decide a question of this moment/
or to dictate to the Demooraoy of tho State in re*
lation thereto, by attempting eithor to limit or to
enlarge the powers of tbeir representatives; and
whereas, it is desirable and epiipently proper that
all such dliforenoog should hosubmittod to tho Do
mooratio electors of the State, to bo by th6m de
termined in State Convention: Thoreforo,
Resolved , That th? chairman and secretary, In
Issuing a call for the election of delegates to the
next Democratic State .Convention, give notice uf
such purpose)in tho followingform:
Tho Democratic electors otwbo several Assembly
districts of tho State aro requested to appoint the
delegate each to a State Convention, to behold at
Sraicpßo on the 4th day qf September pe*t, at 12
M. ? ‘ to nominate & candidate for Seorotdry of State,
Comptroller. Treasurer, State Engineer and Sur
veyor, Canal Commissioner, State Prison'lnspec
tor, Judge and Clerk of tho Coart of Appeals, and
to choose delegates to tho next National Conven
tion, to be hold at Charleston, or to determine tho
manner in ’which, and the time when, thoy shall
be ohosen, and for transacting suqh other business
as to tho Convention shall seem proper.'
The gossip connected with the action of the Com
mittee is that telegraphed-, by a correspondent of
tho Times: '
It is said thfttovcry moans aro being used by the
State Committee and their friends to diatrnot and
divide tho Hard Shell party. Mr. Williams, of
Buffalo, is promised tho nomination of ,State Trea
surer, in plaoe of Mr. Vandorpool, who is to be
dropped with Gideon J. Tucker, Secretary of State.
Mr. 1 awrence, of Quoens, and Mr. Green, of Onon

Albany, August 3—11.45 P. M,
Tho train consisted of an engine, tender, two
baggage cars and twq passenger cars. As the train
Reared the south side of tho bridge tho engineer
frit the bridge sinking upder him; he instantly
threw the throttle valve open, and with a mighty
strain the machine puffed, balked an instant and
then bounded clear of the falling mass. Tho two
baggage oars dashed into -the chasm and wore
ornsned to atoms, the tender falling upon the wreck,
tho two passenger ears leaped in upon tho qthqrs,
the rear end of the last car reitingupon tho abut
ment.
The shook of concussion was terrific; the pas
■lengers in both oars wore hurled violently from
their seats, and oast together Iq dead and mangled
iieapa at tho onds which went into the water.
As soon as possible those who’ were unhurt, or
only slightly Injured, got out from the wreck, and
by evory means in their power devoted tbemsolvcs
to the resone of their less fortunate companions.
Tford was immediately despatched to Scbaghti
coke for help, and ifl * few minutes the cltizons of
that plaoe. hastily providing themselves with means
for administering to the necessities of tho wounded,
hastened in groat numbers to the spot. A hand
oar was sent tp Albany for aid. Fires woro built
of piooes of the wreck, and such other fragments as
could be procured; 4 greatmany lanterns had been
brought to the spot, and then began the melancholy
task of looking |br tho dead.

Coroner Madden', of Troy, held an inquest on
tho body of Charles Plympton, whioh resulted in
tho following
VERDICT OF THE JURY.
“That tho said Charles Piympton came to his
doath from injuries received by tho falling of a
bridge on tho Albany, Vermont, and Canada Rail
road over the Tomhannookoireok, whilo engaged in
a regular train of said railroad as mail agent; and
as said bridge was in a rotten and unsafe condi
tion, the jury believo that those having oharge of
said road should be highly censured.”
STATEMENT OF HR. E. E. LEWIS.
Hr. E.-E. Lewis, of Genosoe, was a passenger on
the ill-fated train. He was tiding in the front oar,
toward the rear end. TiVe take his statement as re
lated to us in a conversation at Stanwix Hall:
As the cars went bn to tho bridge, Mr. Lewis re
members distinctly feeling a sort of jar or jerk,
which gave him the momentary impression that
something was wrong; but before the thought
could ion# }tseif {JiaMnotly in his mind, tho crash
came. Mr. Lewis suddenly felt the qar plunging
downward, as'ft were, and filling to pieces. The
second oar plunged under the first, and tore out
tho sides ana bottom. Mr. Lewis was thrown vio
lently forward head first] striding, as he supposod
against the top of the second car, turned andfol.
to tho bottom, on'tho top of a number of persons.
For an instant there was not the slightest noise—
sot a flbriok of terror or a groan - of pain. So in
stantaneous was the destruction that every porson's
energies appeared paralysed. The first word that
Mr. L. remembers hearing, for he was himself, if
not stunned, entirely bewildered, wore delivered
in a very calm voice, and wore, “ Say, you at the
top. get off just as quiok as you can, won’t you?”
As if this was the signal for a recovery of conscious
ness, it waß immediately followed by agonizing
-sbriekß and groans, and loud cries for help.
Mr. Lewis extricated himself from the wreck as
speedily os possible, aqd tho first person be ro
oognisod was Cooley, t]te conductor, He had
beon thrown violently forward the entire length
of the oar, and had orawlod book to whore his
wife, her mother, and ohild had sat. Mrs. Cooley
and Mrs. Cuylor lay apparently in the position
thov had occupied in the car. Their feet were up,
and their hoods and tho upper part of their bodies
were buried in tho wreck. Mr. Cooloy sunk al
most helpless by the side of his wife, whom he ap
parently recognised by hor dress, at whioh he was
pulling, now b'oseochfng assistance for her, and
now calling pitoou?ly upop her namo, and beseech
ing hor to rise and save herself.
Mr. Lewis, feeling faint imdaick at tho stomach,
mado his way to the water, in 1 which he bathed his
temples and wrists. As he did so, two g'entlcmon
badly cut on the head rushed to him, asking if
they were dangerously hurl;,'
Ho advised them to wugh their wounds in the
water, whioh they aid. Ho then returned to tho
wreck and mado for Mr. Cooloy, who was still pul
ling at the dross of his wifo, although almost help
less from his own injuries. Mr. Lewis raised him
and begged him to let him take him ashore, but
Cooloy only replied by bogging him to help his
wifo. After some difficulty, and not without boing
compelled to speak harshly to him, ho Bucoeedea
in getting him out of the wreck, and got him on tho
bank.
Mr. L. and others then wontandgptoutthe body
ofMrs. Cooley, andboroit&shore. Thoydiscovered
that both horsolf and mother were quitq deed.
The child, also much injured, was also thjton out of
the wreck. When Cooley saw the dead body of
his wife, ho threw himself uppn it shrieking torri
bly, “Oh, mywifo—my poor wife!”—anqitwas
found impossible to tear him away frqm the corpse.
His agonizing gfief w*** heartrending to behold.
But it was stecessary to attend to. the wounded
and suffering, and al| who could render assistance
repaired fo the wreck. this was the work of
but a few minutes. Whop Mr, got baokbe
found a lady with three children, all of whom wore
bruised, hut apparently oth orwlae unlpjurod, whom
ha helped from tho ruins, Tho wifo and son of
Col, B. P, Johnson were on board and unhurt, and
Mrs. Johnson acted nobly in rendering aid to tho
wounded) setting an example of enorgy and judg
ment but seldom found in each oxoiting scenes. A
man of large sigo was go tightly wedged in that it
was nooessary to use pieces of the wreok to remove
tbo beams that confined him, yot no bones were
brokon, and his Injuries wore only from bruises and
oxhauatlon.
After all who oould be helped were got out, Mr.
L. Kan for help, but being unable to ascertain,
oven from tho conduotor, which was the right road
to take, ho went in a direction opposite to
Schaghtlooke. Ho soon oamo to a farm-house, and
making bis way through a ijeld of wheat, appeared,
eoyered with blood and dirt; ang irittput a nat, to
the inmates.' The w©V Q alarmed and fled,
but He soon mado them understand that ho was
hftrmles9 and that their services were required.
They repaired to the eoenebf the disaster, and aa
soon as Mr. L. found ho was on the wrung road he
returned h> the wreck, Jlssiatauoo soon arrived
from pohashtieohe, and'naming that oould be done
for the sqfierors was neglected.

THE CITY.
Public Reception of the Cincinnati. ani>
PIrTSBURd Authorities At Independence Hall.
—The reception of bur Cincinnati and Pittebntg£
visiters took'place yesterday morning in Indepen- ‘
donee Hall. Nine o’clock was the hour appointed
for this public demonstration, and at that time
groups of the excursionists, composed not only of
the male sex, but many of the fair wives and
daughters of our Western frUnds, embraced
this opportunity for witnessing the spotfrom whioh
our Independence was declared, and whioh must,
from the interesting 'associations' connected there
with, possess peculiar interest to every lover of his
eonntry. A half hour was consumed in inspecting
the many interesting mementoes collected in the
Hall, which appeared to afford an infinite source
of pleasure to the ladied and gentlemen, :who for
the first time witnessed that whioh has been so
frequently and graphically described.*
Aff half past nine o'clock, the Cincinnati and
Philadelphia officials entered, and formed a hollow
Bqnare in tho centre of tho Hall. The apartment
was crowded with oitizens to witness the reception,
and every available spot adjacent to the open
windows that might afford an opportunity of hear
ing the speeches was occupied. The Oinoinnatians
wore a orimson badge attached to the button-hole
of their coats, and their hosts were -distinguished
by a light blue bodge. Owing to the absence of
Mayor Henry from the city, the ceremony of re
ceiving the visiters was deputed to Oliver Coraman,
Esq-, president of Selcot Counoil. The Mayor and
Councils of Cincinnati, with their accompanying
friends, were then formally introduced by Snyder
Loidy, Esq., of Select Connell, after which Mr.
Cornman addressed them as follows:
Ho thought the present a fitting time, and
this hall a fitting place, to meet with our Western
friends, to whom this hall belongs in common with
oursolves. Our - immortal fathers are gathered
around ns, and look down upon this soono. Like
us they bore the oares of office, bat they have
passed away, after acquitting themselves nobly in
the difficult positions' in whioh they frond them
selves. Yet you see aronnd you those who, by the
power of the pen, made thomselves felt in the
councils of tho country, and by tboir energy on the
field of battle thoy conquered tho foes of liberty.
On your right you see the Father of his Country,
looking down upon his children, and saying, “ Sons,
bo happy, bo free, be virtuous.” And there you
see Martha, the mother of Washington, more glo
rious in her history than any woman of whom we
road, apd greater than her son, fbr she made Wash
ington. It is to this spot we wcloome you, and we
welcome you to our city, feeling that everything
our part shall bo done to make your visit plea
sant and oomfortablo. Wo shall strive so to fulfil
our official duties as to make your only regret on
leaving ns be that Philadelphia is so distant, and
we sbau only regret that Cincinnati is not nearer.
[Great applause.]
Tho speakor then called tho attenti6n of tho ladies
to tho portraits of the heroines or the walls, and
suggested the noble lessons they might read from
tho lives of such women as Martha Washing ton.and
others, who strengthened the hands of their bro
thers, husbands, and fathers, during the Revolu
tion. He then closed amid applause, by a reitera
tion of bis cordial welcome on Dehalf of the authori
ties of Philadelphia.
Mayor R. M. Bishop, of Cihoinnati, -responded
to Mr. Corniqan’s address or behalf of the Cincin
natians. He thanked the speaker, and through
him, the authorities of Philadelphia, for this wel
oome. It was totally unexpected, for although the
excursionists hod oxpectea to meet the oitizens of
Pennsylvania socially, yet they had not antioipatod
so warm and hearty a welcome as had met them.
Whon we arrived at Pittsburg the people of the
Iron City greeted us with the greatest hospitality
and kindness. At Altoona tho same reception was
heartily accorded, and, it was so at Harrisburg.
Wo have no words to express our feelings at such
hospitality. We are proud to stand here in this
hall, in the city of Penn, and to receive our wel
come on a spot where events, of such inexpressible
magnitudo nave transpired. As we look at tho
statue of Washington wo oannot bnt think of his
farewell address; and what deepmemories arise at
sight of the portrait of Martha Washington i
Tho speaker horo indulged in some reminiscen
ces of old it had taken him ten days to
come from the West to Philadelphia, and he com
pared it with the railroad journey of the present
from Cincinnati, which oocaples but thirty hoars.
In conelasion, he indulged in some patnotio re
flections, and again thanked the Philadelphians
for their welcome, on behalf of the oitizens of Cin
cinnati.
Cordial applause followed Mayor Bishop's ad
dress.
Mr. Benjamin Eocleson, president of the Cin
cinnati Counoils, then made a brief and eloquent
speech. He said, wo started as guests of the rail
road companies connecting Cincinnati with Phila
delphia, and had no idea how the flags and the
latch-strings would h® bung out as wo pas3od
through Pennsylvania. Ro then wanton to show
how Cincinnati, Ohio, and the West generally, had
grown in tho past generation, and how the facilities
for intercommunication had been increased. The
first improvement Vos the National road, then the
canal, and now the railroad, while the commercial
relations of Philadelphia with' the West have in
creased so vastly that all .tho facilities for travel
and transportation rare required. The speaker
gave someWostom statistios; and in closing, reite
rated expressions of, thanks at the wcloome accorded
to tho exourslonists.
Mr. Cornman then announced tho programme
f<rr the day, and, after an examination of the Hall,
the excursionists loft for the wharf.
Thft rtftfrarnnwy f.
tor it wife conoluded, the company wero conducted
to the council Chambers and other points of in
terest, after which they prooeeded to Walnut-street
wharf, whoy® tho steamboat Richard Stockton
awaited thelr arrlvnl. The ladles were oonveyed
thither in earriagos, while the gentlemen marched
in prooession. Beok’s band was already on board,,
and welcomed them with some .of their usual ex
quisite music. The party on board, the boat ran
up the river as far as Tacony, thus affording thorn
an ample opportunity for witnessing our admirable
river fronts, the imsnouso amount of shipping now in
port, the extensive coal wharves at Richmond, the
magnificent ooontry residences located on the
banks of the Delaware, and a thousand points fall
of interest to those who visit ourbe&utifal city for
the first timo. Refreshments wore liberally pro
vided andnsmqptuous repast was served up, Whioh
was agreeably interspersed with tho usual “feasts of
reason and flow of soul,” and to which tho ontiro
company aro said to hav® done aqipl® justice.
At about one o'olock the boat steamed down
the river, ans as it nearod the navy yard a
salute of thirteen guns was fired from tho re
ceiving ship. The sailors on board ono of the
vessels lying at that place immediately manned
the riggihgj whioh was done with so muoh
precision and colority os to evoke tho most enthu
siastic applause. Tho band played the inspiring
air of « Hail Colombia,” and everybody was de
lighted. As tho boat passed tho fri&ate “ Con
gress” laying off tho shore a short distance
below the navy yard, throe hearty oheers were
givon by the crow, which were as heartily re
sponded to by the excursionists. Arrived at
Red Bank, the boat commenced her upware
journey, and soon returned to the navy yard,
whore they went or shore, and Wore welcomed by
Commodore Engel and Captain Carr, who extended
evory courtesy to them. Th® sk*h*^ ouses were
visited,'the ii\odus operands of construe ting the
hugo and noble steamers fully explained, and
witnessed; the ordinance houses wore inspected,
tho weapons of war carefully examined, and tho
uses of tho various pieees fully explained; and,,
in fact, all that hospitality for whioh these gentle
men are so justly celebrated was extended to the
party, nnd duly appreciated.
After sponding an hour in this manner, the ladies
onfered the carriages in waiting and were conveyed
to the St. Lawrenoo Hotel. The gentlomen en
tered thoir eonyoyanoos and wero driven to Point
Broozo Park, about one and a half mile distanoo,
whoro are located the gas works. In the absenoe
of Mr. Cresson, the englneor conduetod them
through the establishment. From this plaoe they
were driven to Gray's ferry, where they orossed
tho Sohuylkil,andwentto the Blookley Almshouse.
They were reoeived horo by a committee of tho
Board of Guardians, shown through the building,
its management duly explained, and every intelli
gence oommunioatod that could he of utility to the
authorities of Cincinnati in the establishment of a
similar institution. This oocupied their time until
Bix o’clock last eyoning, when they sat down to a
sumptuous ooHation, under the superintendence of
the steward. Th.e repast was enjoyed inhn etui- ’
nont dogroo by the party, and speeches were made
by Oliver D. Cornman, Mayor Bishop, Dr. 6ites, of
formerly of this city, Mr, Leidy, Jo
soph Ross, Esq., of Pittsburg, and others. The
party then ontered thoir carriages and arrived at
tho St. Lawrence about eight o’olook in the even
ing, well pleased with their day’s entertainment.
The programme arranged for to-day is as fol-
lows: The company will tako the oars at Eleventh
and Market streets, at ten o’olock in tho morning,
and procoed to Fairmount. Chief Fearon has or
dered a general turn out of the steam fire ongines,
when their capacity will bo fully tested, and as they
are all to be put in operation at tho same time, a
display of fire apparatus will be presented such as
has rarely been witnessed in tho good old city of
Penn. After inspecting the water-works, and all
the points of interest in that vicinity, the party
will yisit the Eassern Penitentiary, thenco to tho
House of Refuge, and Girard College. They will
then tako the oars of the Ridge avenue road and
proofed to M&nayunk and the Wiesahickon.
As we have beforo stated, the visiters frequently
expressed their surprise at tho magnitude of our
oity, its unrivaled advantages, and magnifioont
publio institutions; and lastly, but not least,
thoir gratitude for tho oordial reception tendered
them, not only in this oity, but at all the different
points on thoir way from Cincinnati. We learn
that thoy contemplate leaving for Baltimore to
morrow.
We deem it proper to state that we are unable
to prosent as full a report of the day’s outertain
ment as we should have been pleasod to have done,
had the usual faoilities been extended to us for
acquiring the neoessary information.
Laroeny.—JV roan named James Hollings
worth was committed to. prison, by Alderman
Clouds, to answer tho charge of stealing a watch
and a small sum of money from a lager-beer saloon
on Germantown road, above Columbia avenue, a
few days sinoe. Re subsequently shipped on board
a vessel at the navy yard, where he was arrested,
and treated as above stated.
Found DEAD.-r=Tho doad body of a man,
name unknown, was found in ap oqts-fiqld oh tho
Oxford plank road, in the Twenty-third ward.
The body was partially decomposed, and appeared
as though it had lain there several days. The
Coroner was notified to attend.-

The Neck”'seeing tojaffohi an admirable field for
ih« indulgence of the zsaijMous propensity of the in
oendiary, located aa.it is in A thinly-Jefrled neighbor
bood; ;-and nearly all ,' the ' fires occurring there are
jejrentuslly traced to these evil-disposed personages.
On Sunday tost, a barn on Simon’s lane, near the
Back road, containing a small quantity of hay, was
fired and destroyed. Two parties have been
arrested onjsnspicioa of having been concerned in
firing this and other barns. From investigations
made, it seems
and wicked pets of young men c’onneated with iwo
notorious rival'gangs,*Tb r the Boulhernp&rfdf the'
city* known as the Neck. These gangs are attached
tor two rowdy fire companies, in that section of the
city, and are known; as the .”PaqU’s’]- and “Garro
tors.” Of the latter crowd; large number are
thieves, known to \ the' police, and have been
arrested on the charge of committing all sorts
of depredations. One of these parties arrested
has been an inmate of the House of Refuge, and
was arrested for stealing a watch, some two or
three months ago. Last winter, in company with
several others, he stole a quantity of,wearing ap
parel from the place of a gentleman in that por
tion of the city. Every effort, is being made to
break these gangs up by the police. Li that part
ofrtho eity .there are no polioe officers, the resi
dents there refusing to pay the tax. Now, they
have taken” the matter in hand, and', hereafter,
they will take turn about at nights in patroling
the Neok, and striot attention will be paid, on
Saturday nights, in particular. They are deter
mined to pnta stop to these depredations, and we are
authorized to say that any person found prowling
about this place at night will meet with a warm
reception. ,
Refreshing.— The heated atmosphere with
whioh we can’t-get-aways have been afflioted for
the last few days, and which rendered existence
unendurable, was considerably oooled last evening
by one of the most delightful showers we have
ever experienced. The storm’set in' about seven
o’olook, and was accompanied. by the usual
concomitants of thunder and lightning and a
copious supply of rain. It rained very heavily
daring the earlyparfc of the evening, and we learn
that the usual number of cellars were filled, and
that that never-failing oroek, the Cohookaink, over
flowed its banks, as a matter of course. We did
not learn of any aooident from the storm worth
itemizing.
Gerhantown Passenger Railway. —This
company is stoadiiy progressing in the construction
of their road. Tho excavators reaohed Nicetown
on Monday, and will probably reach the Three
Mile run this week. The mis extend nearly to
Naglee’s Hill, where the work of grading will per
haps be completed by Saturday evening, , and the
rails may be laid to Nioetown next week. By the
first of September the whole ought to be done and
tho road in operation.
Suspicious. —At an early hour yesterday
morning, a man named John’Hancock was found
aeoroted in the yard attached to the sohool-honse,
at the corner of Eighth and Fitzwater streets. One
of the shutters of the school-house Was found open,
and the window hoisted. John'was taken by an
officer to the station-house, where he had a hearing
before Alderman Dallas, who committed him. to
answer.
Escape from a Station House —On Wed
nesday evening an old offender, named Mark Pier
son, alias “Scotohy,” made his escape, from the
Fifteenth-ward station-house, whore. he was con
fined for some trivial offence. He ' was recap
tured later in the evening, and conveyed to more
secure quarters. The Fifteenth-ward station-house
is in a most dilapidated condition, and prisoners
have bnt little difficulty in making their escape
from the insecure cells contained therein.
Run Over. —About half-past nine ofclock,
yesterday morning, a lad, named Oscar Lane, aged
about eight years, was ran over by a horse and
carriage, at Shaokamaxon street and Girard ave
nue. He was very badly braised about the head
and body, and was conveyed to the residence.of his
parents on Allen street, below Painter.
THE COURT.S.
yesterday’s proceedings
[Reported for Ttie Press.}
Quarter Sessions— Judge Ludlow.—Yes
terday was comparatively- dull in court ‘ matters.
Owing to the action of the Grand Jury on tho day
previous, the amount of business waa.small. and is
detailed os follows. Mr. J. P. O’Neill appeared as
prosecuting attorney: *
Henry.Foisman plead guilty io , a of ob
taining goods under false pretences, and was fined
$lOO. and sent down for sixty days.
William Rose plead guilty to a ebargo of assault
and battory on cis sister, and 'carrying concealed
doadly weapons. On the first oharge he was sen
tenced to ten days, and on the second twenty days.
George Edwards was tried and -convicted on a.
oharge of larceny, and fined $1 and sent down for
eight months.
William H. Shinn was tried and convicted for
the larceny of ladies’ dresses, to the amount of S2T,
ji as fined one dollar and sent down foraix month B *
Aftw 'dn< htuVvt-tlrt‘-alroT*-‘vnac,
a cessation in the business of the court on account
of the absence of witnesses: ' ‘
Tho officers, however, were sent out into the
highways and hedges, to bring in the delinquent
testimony. Bnt after travelling through the hot
sun, and sweating and blowing'with their ’efforts
to bring in defaulters, they returned to court with
out effecting the their mission.
Arthur Clark was tried and acquitted on a oharge
of assault and battery..
Oioesdale Robinson was pot upon his trial, charged
with the larceny of one shirti-one neck-tto, etc., all
of the value of nine dollars, the property of 4Mr.
Finney, clothier in Market street. Th® defence sot
np that he was a member of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, and that he was of good charac
ter ; that the prosecutor, Mr. Finney, owed the de
fendant a sum of money, and he took tho goods to
satisfy the debt. The jury returned a verdiot of
guilty, with a recommendation to the moroy, of the
court. There was a general impression that the
man waa not guilty, but the defence was so
bunglmgly wanagoa that no other result could bo
oxpoeteu.
James Niol was tried on.the oharge of stealing a
fold watoh, the property of Mr. MoHuUen. - The
efendsnt said he had the watoh, but was drank,
and did not know how ho came in -possession of it.
It was proven, that he had pawned it at a broker’s,
whoro ft was obtained.' The jnry returned a ver
diot of guilty, and he was sent down for four
months.
Court adjourned.

Our views of the 1 trneVaiue’of rkflrcad Stocks and '
bonds are confirmed by the Railway
Review for this week.. It estimates that “many
months, probably; wiU be required to ‘-instil* fresh
confidence into the minds of capitalists as to the. in
creasing value of railroad property. In Jnly there
were few orders from capitalists - for shares ot
bonds.” ...
The oaution evinced by money-lenders will have
a tendency to cheek tho business of weak parties, *
and it would not be surprising to hear ag&iu the
cry so prevalent a few months post, “we can’t get
any paper.”
When that time arrives, we respectfully suggest
to capitalists the claims of Philadelphia to a steam
communication with Europe.
A Philadelphia steamship line is a necessity. It '
must be formed; and if it is.placed in the right
bauds, it will pay from the commencement.
