The'Aurora Borealis. No snlijectliaa recently attracted, bo much attention as the magnificent Aurora Borealis which.appcared intho sky,- during jsdyorah of phenomenon was visible throughout the whole conntryp anil extended much Ihrtbcr South than on ; former occasions when, it appeared iu this latitude, for from the accounts given of It in the New Orleans Crescent and the' Mobile Tribune of the 80tli ult., it seems to have boon almost as brilliant in those citios as in Phila delphia. . In many localities it excited considerable alarm among tho superstitious and ignorant, who feared that it betokened some terrible event. • The Richmond Enquirer says that somo of tho negroes of that city, who had orders to risoata very early hour, noticing the brilliant appearanco of the heavens, rushed forth, ibaring that they were late, but healing the clock! strike two, thoy were' much aston ished, and; the only solution thoy could give to the mystery. was that , the « debil must bo somewhere.” We hear of many persons who were onatdod to road long aftor tho« wee sma’ hours,” by the light of tho aurora, and tho 'Alexandria Sentinel relates that a gentleman killed threo birds (larks) about one o’clock on the'morning of the Ist inst„ with a gun, and that one of tlie warblers,was brought down on the wing. - All the, telegraphic wires of the country, were, more ,or less deranged by the subtle influence of the aurora, but in several of the'offices the experiment was Buccessiblly made of transmitting intelligence with tho aid of no other electricity than that furnished by .the phenomenon'itself. 1 ' • ' j No definite conclusion has yet been arrived at by scientific., men in regard to the canse and exact naturo of the aurora, hut tho recent dis plays have been so unusually lirilliantiand ex tensive that it ia to bo hoped such experiments and observations have been nnule as will great ly assist tho savans' in establishing • a rational and well-settled theory. " It has been observed heretofore, that th@ magnetic needle is aflected by the polar lights under some circumstances, and that it is violently agitated, with a'tenden cy to direct, itself toward the point, where the rays from the horizon concentrate.’; It is also well known that while lights continue brilliant the air appears to be highly charged with elec tricity. : Professor’ Oihstead considers that “the nebulous matter, like that which fur nishes the material of the .meteoric sh.owers, or the zodiacal light, and is known to exist In the planetary spaces, is probably the cause of the auroral displays. The- light he re gards as emitted by the friction of the earth plunging,. with its atmosphere, through this vapor, the velocity being sufficient, notwith standing the rarity of the matenals, to develop this luminosity j land the magnetic phenomena he explains by supposing, with Bioi and Dal ton, that the vapor is .metallic, probably fer ruginous,-a supposition to which the stones of ironpreoipltated.upon the earth in the form'of reroutes - lend some plausibility; as also the fact that by the intense heat generated by the hydro-oxygenblowpipo, the metal is volatilized into vapor of extreme,rarity.” , The height of tho auroral arches is va riously estimated, hut tho. Professor quoted above expresses the opinion that they rarely or never-fall below an, elevation of seventy miles, and do not often exceed one hundred and'sixty miles. < Public Amhsements. ' WAoXcT-sraEnT . Theatre.—As we promised yesterday, and we desire to keep oar word, we have now to notice “pauat and Marguerite,” whloh is likely to have “ a ran ” at this theatre. Itwas prefaced'by a lively faroe, “ Mr. and Mrs. Peter White,” which Miss C.' Jefferson, (quite an acqui sition to-the Company,) Mira Mary Miller, and Miss Wilks rattle very agreeably through, with tbs assistance of Messrs. Thayer, Vinlnj; Bowers, and Baseomb; By the way, the last-named gentleman acts better this season than hie l ever did before—the result, we hope; of bestowing' more pains upon his performance, In low comedy, Mr. Vining Bowers has undoubtedly mado a very favorable impression here. At first, he bad some tendenoy to making his'low oomedy very low and very broad, bnt he has corrected it, and we eongmtalato him, and the audience, on his good sense. Bo will do. ■ The version of “ Paust’’-"played here, is from London, and differs, in many essentials, from every other which we have read or seen.. The old story of Dr. Paustus selling himself to the Devil, is some centuries old, in Germany, but the first dramatic rendering of the legend was by the, English poet, Marlowe, whose.play of “ Paustus!’ is fall of faney shd'poetio beauty., ’Not even 1 Goethe himself has dCno more justice to the subject." The aetual here of the drama hero Is not so mnbh Faust as Mephieto phlles. Mr. perry played Faust extremely well—as ho can play! when he pleases—and we soareely know whether his rendition, In tho opening scene, of the old -man, was or-was not better than his thoroughly artistloal representation of the hero as a gay, passionate, and even prlnoely yonng Cavalier.'-"Mr.'Shewell’s- Valentine was also a very fine realization— the properly doing, and net: overdoing,- a' part ’which is ’ not a- lending-one, but the! true rendering of whloh heightens the effect by contributing to the harmony of the piece.. His fight with- Mr. Porry was very good; and his death-scene very affecting. We o/nmot say. that Mr. Bowers appeared quite at home in' the part'of Siebel, whioh may arise from the oharaotor haring been unequally drawn. So the fault may not he .-his. ■ Yet he made a good deal of mirth, and did not run into exaggeration, which sometimes is. tho synonymo of burlesque. Mrs. Thayer mado a great .deal, bnt not too much, of the part of Martha, a stout, middle-aged female, :with a remarkable; for getting married with the least possible delay. ■. . The Mephistophilee of this drama was Mr. J. B.: Roberts, who played it in, a thoroughly original manner, making the arch-fiend a mocking, jesting, sharp-spoken, lively, and mischievous son of Dark ness, In human form. 'Ho maintained this yoin ail through, and “ drew down the houßo ropcatedly,” :as the saying is. - . - - : Mrs. Anna Cowell, who was charmingly mado up witbqnite a Gennanosquo aspect and attire, was the fair and geqtle Marguerite. Her anting might Surprise many who have hitherto soon her only, or chiefly, in lighter characters, hut Bbe has con siderable ability, and snfficiont feeling and power to do jUßtioo to thi,sweet pad delicate embodiment of natural beauty.and goodness. In the second Act she had agreat dost to'do, and succoeded very decidedly- ' ■ -u The scenery and mechanical effects were very ■fine; Every now and then came some effect whioh -surprised the audienoe, and drew down applause. The Moonlight-soeno in the garden was a beautiful picture, and the Apotheosis, in which Guardian Angels, arc supposed to carry the soui-redoomed Marguerito from earth to heaven, was touchingly charming and “ beautiful exceedingly.” We havo never seen a better scenic effect. i Thore is some singing in this drama, whioh wont off pretty well.. By the way, the muslo waa appro priate; tho Overture to Per Freischutz protaoe d the play. Mrs.'Cowell's few snatches of song bo fore, her spinning-wbeel in the garden were very pretty. There was some good danoing in tho third adt, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Smith, who .was engaged for the ocoarion, with M&dlle Henri, Miss Cross, Miss James, imd Mr, B. Yates. These young ladies belonged to the Rcmzani troupe. This play will be repeated all . through this week. The house was neariy as crowded as upon the first night dfthepleoe. ; Academy op Music.—” Tho Black Agate” was repeated last night. ,Thq scenery, dresses,. and a good deal of the acting are very good, and the piece has undergone somo abridgment, we believe, for we hear that it wosrconcluded muoh earlier than on the first night, and ran more smoothly.

A oorrospondont says: “ Sena tor Douglas arrived here in the 'noon train on his way to Ohio,- A very largo body of people oongro gated at the depot to bid him welcome. His re ception. was of tho mo»t enthusiastic character. He was waited upon, while hero, by a'oommltteo appointed by the Dauphin County Agricultural Society, and invited to deliver an address at tho closoof the County .

Ci 1859, Mr. Jefferson Davis bos formally announced it to be bis purpose to introduce a bill, on the meet* ing of Congress, to repeal the penalties in the law against the ‘Afrionn-Blav© trad©. This'will bring a new and startling Issue beforo the people for the Presidential campaign of 1800. - My information from the South, authentic and recent, is to the effeot that not only has this traffic boon reopened, but that it Is now vigorously and flagrantly oonduotod. Some of tho first men of tho South are engagod in it, and it is asserted that a number of vessels have boon chartered at Savannah, and are now absent, for the purpose of landing oargoos before the' be ginning of winter. I forbear giving the names of the leaders in thls-onterprise, not because they, themselves refuso to. speak of their connection with it, but for oilier reasons not necessary to enu merate. J A very strong sentiment isgrowing up against the law prohibiting this traflio, and I am assured that any attempt to inflict tho penal ties will bo resisted on tho spot. Meanwhilo, Jus tice Campbell, of the Supremo Court, dovotos himself, with herculean energy, whenever a easo is brought before him, to convict thoso interested or implicated in this business. Ho is , denounood bitterly as the modern Jeffreys; but, as he is a man of great will and in domitable pluok, he seems rather to court than to ovado the perils of his responsible position. Many , hundreds of the Southern peoplo openly take the ■ground that it is impossible to onforco a law whioh is repugnant to -public sentiment. In this they imitate the course 6f those Northern men who dis regard the fugitive-slave not, and, indeed, justify themselves in violating the statute'against the African slave traffic. It will ho a ouriousspcoU e!a to see an American Senator/ claiming to be progressive and liberal, standing up in the face of the oivilized world, demanding, at the hands of Congress, tho repeal of the law against this most cruel trade in human beings. No question of territory, of Lecompton or anti-Leoompton, could excite more intense fooling than must be aroused by this movement of Jefferson Davis. >1 repeat,- upon the most distinct authority, that tho traffic is now vigorously prosecuted, and that hundreds of 'Africans are being landed bn the Southern ooaat. Owing to this state of things, the Admlntsira-’' tlon have caused it to bo 'ostentatiously announced ■that n ooast guard is US be established- from .Charleston to New Orleans, and that a part of the Paraguay fleet will be sent into the gulf for the purpose of enforcing the law. Deputy marshals arc to be stationed At all the available points from Charleston to Mobilo, so that you see a conflict'is by no means among the Improbabilities. The decision of the Postmaster Genera], pro- hibiting Hon. John Covode, a member of the Republican committee, from sending his document! through the mails, on the ground that his frank had-boon written by others than himself, has created some commotion here. My exoollent friend, Hon. Thomas B. Florence, is not prohibited from using bis patronage for the purpose of eonding,- free and broadoast, tho circulars of his now “ Na tional Domocratio Magazine;” but then, to do him justice, he is one of the most industrious of men. He is fond of writing his name, and does it with a grand flourish. It will he rather difficult, how ever, to onforco a rule suoh as the Postmaster Goneralis said to have'laid down in the case of. Mr. Govode. Even if every membor of Congress were as industrious as Golonol Florence, it.wonld be almost an impossibility to expect the committees of the great parties in 1800 to attend personally to this business of franking. It has never been done beforo, and this aot of Mr. Postmaster Gene ral Holt looks like a very small business, to say the least'of it. Tho Wisconsin Democratic Convention, which met nt Madison on tho 21th of August, was the' largest ever assembled in that State, and tho most enthusiastic and harmonious. Tho resolutions were flat-footed and right on the great question. The delegates to the National Convention will not be ohoson until tho third of February, 1860, and it ig needless to say to you that they will bo Instructed, as everybody in Wisconsin is, for Stephon A. glas. After the resolutions ’were read, which, if you havo not published, you ought to publish, and which fully asserted your own' ideas on the subject of popular sovereignty, a resolution was offered ex pressive of the Southern idea on the Territorial question, which was lost, and then .tho following was presented, and, os the official report says, (l was unanimously rejootod.” I give you the resolution, with this comment upon it: ■ u Resolved, That we fully endorse the Adminis tration of James Bnohanan, tho Democratic Presi dent of the United States, as eminently wise. Inde pendent, and patriotic; and that, in the Judgment of this Convention, the peaceful, honorable, and per manent settlement of the Kansas', difficulties is attributable to his firmness and sagacity,’ and the prudence of his measures, and that to him and his Administration the country will bo indebted for the' admission of Kansas as a free State into the Union.” Occasional; .Letter from New York. {From our Special Correspondent.] New York, September 9,1859.

Some weeks ago'camo to this portion the U.B.S. Maasrtchuflcttlf, Oonorul Ham o7. His arrival was Hoknowlcdged by a salute, and, after a day’s sojpurn as thegpestof GovoniorDouglass, he**passed by on the other stdo. A few days after the General’s doparture for Puget », our town, was thrown into the grpafost excite >y the news,that mcoinpaiiy ot American troops find seized the disputed island of can Juan, and that barracks were befog established upon it. No one knew by whom tue net was Authorized, and espe cially oid oeftnin chivajrio Americans, with filbbuster ing preahvities. seem not to care. Then commenced blustering and bloviating on both aidoa; the Amerioan population waxed rampant* &.s usual on such occasions, and the British indignant. Numerous lively discussions SPteOff UP among groups of pit»*ens nt tho street cpr nors, and a considerable) quantity of the King’s English was demolished on both sides. Very soon vessels fpr the conveyance of passengers to tfio Boat of war wore in demand. Small boats were char tered for the trip, and several steamboato departed with visiters, both English and American, toHhe Jslana of San Juan, a distance of fifteen or twenty miles from this place. Two ot tlio English vessels-ot-war from Esquimau harbor, had gono ovar on the first reception of the news. Most of those who went to tho island did go, perhaps,through curiosity: but others, no doubt, went determined to lend a hand to theif respective coun tries, if their services woro nooded. In (lie harbor of San Juan were found, bosides several British mon-of wnr, the United Statos idiips MasSMhusetts, Shubrick, and a revenue cutter from Puget Bound. A company of Amerioan soldiers, to the numbor of forty or fifty, aad taken possession of the island, and Quito boldly indica ted their intent ion to keep it, nrf will lie seen by tho fol lowing order, which was posted m various places about tho island: Military Post, Saw Juan Island, W, T., July 27,1869. 1 • (Orders No. 1.1 I. In compliance with orders and instructions from the gonoral commanding, a military post will be established on this island) on 'whatever site tbo comman’dmg oflicor may select. If. All theinhabitants of the island are requested to foport at once to the commanding officer, in case of any incursion of the Northorn Indians—so that he may take such steps ns he may deem necessary to prevent any fu ture occurrence of tho same. HI. This being United States territory, no laws, other than those of the umtod States, nor courts, except such ns ore held by virtue of said laws, will be recognized or allowod on this island.. Jj, order of , CAPTAIN PICKEY. Jamb* W. Forsyth, ?dLieutonant,9th Infantry, post Adjutant. It will he observed from the tone of this order that it igpores tbo treaty and boundary, commission, and admits oi no compromise; if, thorofore.it proves to havo had no hjiiber authority than General Harney, and any con cession is horeaftcr made, it wilt sU’oru nnother ex ample of the reckless manner in which filibustering American citizens jeopardize the poaoe and compro mise the honor of their country. From it appears thnj the Bri ti&h desired to avoid a collision, as their .ability, at any moment, to take the island can scarcely be doubted. It was their wish to-gam a joint military occupation of the island with our troops,' until orders could bo received from the heads of the two Governments. A proposition to that effect having been made, was rejected; but it is believed trill jqt be acceded to.. It is unnecessary to repeat that, il.fluoh a concession is made, after what lias passed, it will be adastardly compromise of the country’s honor. Affairs have rested in this plight, with little change, daring the past week. A small company of two from Fort Itellinghsm have boon added to the American forces, and a number of Americans have gone from this place, and Washington Territory, w|th the avowed in tention of settling at San Juan. Aißntish vessol-of-war brought down some sappers ond wipers from Fraser river a few days since, and renewed trie request to land their forces, but were, refused. They had not landed at the last accounts, and matters remained In .itat» quo. On Wednesday, Gow Douglass issued a protest against the occupation of San Juan Island by the American*, and declared the island to belong to her Majesty ttueen Victoria. His Excellency also sent tho enclosed message to tho Vancouver Legislative Assem bly yesterday, in which it is declared that the British forces will be japded on tho island. If such be their in tention,.a polhsjpn seems inevitable. The disputed island lies northwesterly from the en trance to rugot Sound and the mainland of Washington 1 orntory, ]n the vicinity of Port Townsend—tho broad And ueautgul Strait ot Fuca being between.

Sept. 3.] A brief paragraph in a morning paper, on Saturday, stated the fact that two members of the Parodi Italian Opera Troupe, who are now performing at Pike's Opera House, had been arrested on a charge of connubial in i delitr. Such was indeed the fact, but we are glad to know that the operAtio disoord has been satisfactori y harmonized, though not 'without the intervention of an officer of justice. The history of tho affair is about as follows: - - . . Some years aco an Italian named Intrepldi, engaged, from time to time, with the various opera troupes n New York to sing in the chorus, married an American girl possessed of considerable musical talent, who was also jn the chorus.. Matters progressed with them har momouslv fora time. unti}the habits of the husband prevented his obtaining a situation, and ho became de pendent upon the labors oftljowife fora subsistence. Not content with this, it is said ho irequently resorted to violonco and personal abuse, which rendered her life miserable. To the great relief of Midame Intrepidi? about two years ago Signor Intrepldi “turned up missing,” and nothing had been heard of in all that time. Ma dame continued her labors in tho operative vny, sup porting, bv her singing. Uor two childron and her mo ther, and finally joined the Parodi Opera Troupe. Hard ly had she set Toot in this city before the husband, who had so mysteriously disappeared two yours before, pre sented himself to her astonished vision 1 Had the ghosts of the dead come stalking about they could not have been more unwelcome Waiters. He had left his pecu liarl.vTtalian vocation of attending a confectionery es tablishment to confront his wife, and demand on account of her deeds for the past two rears. , i / Not consent with accusing Mad. intrepid! of nil sorts of naughtiness he went before a justice and made oath to his allegations, charring that she was guilty ox di vers improper acts with Bie-Nediana, another member of the troupe, and .the lender of the male qtioros. Just ns both were preparing to leave tho hotel for the thea tre. to take part in tho evening's performance, the offi cer* t<>ok them intocustody; It was a note not set down in their part, and was introduced at a very usluoky mo ment. Bm* they must, and the agent being sent for, a $lO gold pieoe postponed the formal arrest until morn ing, when bail was entered for their appearance. „ rn.addition to tha legal proceedings commenced by intrepldi, he must needs make threats that if the copr failed to do him-Justice, 1)0 would revenge his fancier wrongs by taking the law into his own hands. This was sufficient for the agent, who immediately procured the arrest of the jeajdus husband uoon a charge ofthreaton ing personal violence, and thejnstice required a bond f 91.000, which he could sot procure, A prison star him in the face, with Recluse' quarters, bad frrf. « worse sleeping accommodation. _He begged for a test; matters wore ell,out or time and' tvnf it was a role he was unaccustomed to, am: his voiee became, harsh and wheesy. • From the key-note of, triumph it sunk to the soil whis per of the vanquished, and would have been lost alto gether within the wails of the county jail, but for com promise. He withdraw the charge against his wife, and plodded his honor to interfere with her no more, and tho Big. Intrepidi was then himself safely delivered from the grasp of the law.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS (Reported for The Press.] QUAETBB SSSBBIOMB-J~Judge Ludlow.—No thing occurred yesterday to mar the usual monotonv of court proceedings, beyond the foot that, for the first time in ten weekß, the venerable, yet elastic, David Paul Brown appeared ip the Quarter Sessions to take part in a case. The inevitable snuff-box was handed to judge, jury, and spectators, who.listened, m tho latter part of the day, to a rare treat of forensic eloquence. George M. Schmitt was charged upon three bills of indictment with the following offences: Ist, with keep ins » disorderly house.; 2d, with.seUinrjiquor on Sun days; 3d, with soiling liquor to minors. Tho defendant keeps a hotel at No. 833 Callowhill street. The prose cutor testified that the defendant's hotel was kept open every Sunday, and that he bought honor there on Sun day, upon several occasions t that the defendant an noyed him by havinr dog-fights upon his premises. Verdict guilty as to selling liquor upon Sunday, and not guilty as to the other charges. Sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars and tho costs of prosecution. Henry M. Wents was put on his trial on the oharee of committing an asasult and battery on Justin E. Bird, one of the telegraph operators. Mr. Wentz was the driver of a horse and cart, and wh»le delivering a load or flooring sand at a public house, the cart being on the track of tho Race'and Vlne-rtreets Railroad Company, one of the cars came along. The defendant kept on with the work of unloading the cart, and Mr. Bird re- 3 nested him to remove from the track. Finding him in isnosou to do so, tho officor took tho horse hy the hoad and turned him off tho track. Mr. Wentz then ran'out ol tho public house, and rushed Upon Officer Bird, strik ing at him, and using the most violent language. The omoor said he was struck in tho nook. At this stage of tho affair the officer drew his billy, and Wonts ran and got a shovel and attempted to strike him. Other officers then came up,and Mr. Wentz was arrested. The de fence was that Mr. Wentz was in the performance of his legitimate business, and that-the,officor had not any right to interfere. The testimony asto the time which the track was obstructed was conflicting." While some of the witnesses made it from five to ten minutes, from the first to the last of the difficulty, others said that it wan not more than three minutes. - Mr. Finlettor. who appeared ns counsel for the de fendant, argued that the defendant had ns good a right to occupy the railway track as the oompany had; that ho was not bound Jo move out of the way until he had got throneh with hi* business} that Mr. Bird had no right to take hold of the horse, and that after he had done so Wentz had a right to use fotce to get him away. The Distriot Attorney contended that it was tne duty of theomoor to romove the obstruction on the road, and that Wentz had uo right to resort to .blows, even though Bird was acting without authority. juqge-Ludlowoharged the jury that the question of the right of earn or carts in the street had nothing what ever to do with the present case. ’ The simple question for the iurv to determine was, whether Wentz had as saulted Bird. If they believed that he did, they should convict him. Tho iury, without leaving the box, rendered a verdict of guilty. Benjamin Rodgers wan charged with misdemeanor in receiving 630 pounds of wool, valued at 42 cents per pound, and 63 pounds of wool, valued at 46 cents per pound, and 6 bags of wool, altogether valtHu at $£95.87, the property of Jpsoph Fling, knowing them to have beenstoldn by Thomas Kitchen, James Johnßon.and John Robinson. These two latter persons some time since were convicted of the robbery, aqd sentenced ac cordingly. The trial of this ease oooupied the best part of tho session. District Attorney Mann appeared for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. D.P. Brown and George C. Collins for tho defence, Tbe only defence offered was rood character, and this, coupled, with an able speech from Mr. Brown, made a favorable impression for tho accusod. .After an impartial oharge, however, from Judre Ludlow, tho.jury rendered.a vprehot of guilty, and Rodgers was sentenced to ah imprisonment of two years and six months; aftor'whioh Uie court adiourned. To Philip H. Luria. Esq., the efficient court clerk, the fublio is greatly indebted for tho promptitude-inthe rnnaaction of business which is the result of-ins admi rable and systematic arrangements, and we personally are obliged to him for professional favors which stamp him as a thoroughly courteous gentleman. The report ers can earn slltho information they dosire by applica tion' to Mr, Luttz. who so ably fills tho position recently occupied by Mr. Bernard Sharkey, Arrest of an English Defaulter in Boston. Boston, Saturday, Sept. 3.—An Englishman, named Edward who is alleged to be a dofaulter to parties in England to the amount ‘.of £4o,ooo,'and who has been feearohed for through Canada and tho States during the last three months, was arrested in this oity last evening. Tho arrest was made on the charge of adqltery, Humphrey having brought to this country a woman not his wife, with whom he has been living j but it is pro vable that the subject of his alleged defalcations will be investigated as soon qs testimony can be obtained. The Traveller bns the following particulars ol tho arrest• “ After hunting him tq several boarding-houses, it was ascertained that Humphrey had rooms at No. IT Harrison ayenuo, whore ho had stopped two or three davs. Constable Oaldor went to that plaoe yesterday afternoon and arrested him. - lie felt some chagrin at bU arrest, and, boforo being taken to jail, ho wrote notes to tho Hon. Edward Everett and other gentlemen, to whom ho professed to havo lottors of introduction. Ho had no money, bat said ho remittances on Tuesday next. The prisoner was raoetor of a sohool at Chelten ham. and had enjoyed tho oonfldouoo of the com-' munity. He had become ombarrassed pecuniarily, and his case was boforo the Insolvency Court, where his debts wero set down at £27,000. The woman was the mothor of sovon children, and Dr. Humphrey has six ohlldron. Hois rather an ab scouding debtor than a defaulter, and it appears by the English papors that be brought away his wife’s jewelry, and borrowed of her tho money with whioh ho paid his passage. The woman that acoompauied him has gone back to England. She is said to bo about forty years of age. lie gives his age at less than that. Mr. JJirophroy pojlUyely assorts that ttliou he loft England he had but £3O in his possession While ffl this oity he was in the habit qf visiting tho rooms of tho Young Men’s Christian Assooia tion. After bis arrest, tho only favor he askod of tho officer was, to purohaso him a pound of tea whion request was complied with, THE CITY.

New Market-house Project.—a number of the farmers of Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Buoks, And Philadelphia-.couutiea, are agitating the project of a new market house, at some central point, for the im mediate use ofiarraerfl. At a meeting whioh wae lately held to consider the subject, the following resolution was adopted: ----- - - Resolved, That we, the citizens of Chester, Dela ware, Montgomery, and Backs counties, most earnestly eoomraond that the corporators,of tjio “Fanners’ ilarket Company” organize, and open books to receive subscriptions of stock, end proceed to take tho neces sary steps towards the ereotfon of a market house, at as early a day as practicable. • ’ *l' .* A meeting of the corporators will be held at the White Call Hotel, on next Saturday, for the - purpose of or ganizing. The necessity for the oreotion of a new mar ket bouse for farmers does not appear to ns to be as great as is generally supposed.' 8o lone as farmers oo copy thoroughfares like CaliowhiU and South streets, and find customers, the erection by them of expensive market houses would diminish their popularity. . Weloarntliat the main argument ueert by the farmers erecting such a market house, is, that Conncilsma test nodrsnosition to protect them in their occupation - of CaliowhiU and Market streets. Whatever truth there. may be te this assertion—and we fear there is more' ruth than fancy in lt-wo Have, only to say, that when tho additional, tax necessarily induced by renting ex pensive stalls in expensive buildrogois added, to the price oltheirprmluce, their popularity with the mass of our economical citizens will lie but short-lived. The great advantage of the farmers in spiling household provisions is, that they sell bettor articles at a cheaper rate than huckstersamldflalers. They are enabled todothisbyxe maining out of the large market houses, and the longer they continue so. the better for their interests. Jeremy Diddles Redivivub.—Yesterday De tective Russell ai rested a man—who gave the name of James Johnson, in Philadelphia, hut sported the various aliases of J. Joseph, J. C. Uajnie,.J. Rollof, Ac., abroac —at the Rutgowav House, in this city. The spaoifio charge leading toMr. Johnson's incarceration, was that of being a hotel-tluef, oltliough a hundred queer things are told of him m police circles. . It appears that he has been travelling on his porsoual accomplishments all over the union. He passed overtherailroadsasadead jead by .palming himself off as an Eastern Conductor, rle exhibited a receipt of/ Adams’ Express company for $2,300.62 as a proof of ms property qualificationajho also had in his possession (livers other documents prov ing that he was everything but an honest roan honestly employed. Th'oro will be a hearing in his case to-day, when he will have an opportunity ofexplaimng his dis crepancies. • - > , A Libel Suit.—The mild-spoken and amiable proprietors of the Sunday Dispatch have gotthem i elves into trouble with Dr. R. K. Smith, late Resident Physician of tho Almshouse. It appears that on last Sunday tho IhxpaicA. published an article reflecting very severely on Dfj.Smjih’a character. The Doetor, pre suming himself injured, made a complaint against his censorious journalists and had them no before Alderman Dei tier, who held them in the sum of $5OO to answer for their opinions at court. This is tho third libel suitin'- augurftted by the Doctor, two of which are against an other Sunday .paper. When the matter comes before the court we expeet some readable and racy teota. Sun day papers are. as &-general thing, very unfortunate, ana now that they are, drifting into ,ehanc3ry, we can only pity their forlorn condition. , . A Navy Steamer Home Again.—Yesterday morning the United States steam-sloop Wyoming re turned from , her trial trip at sea. During the trip her machinery performed in the roost perfect manner/the engines averaging severity-two turns per minute daring the entire time.

An., and from the bar to the Capes in forty-six and a half hours. This speed, for a Government vessel, is unprecedented. The sea-gome cuahtjes of the Wyoming are of the highest order, and her officers speak of her in tho most enthusi astic terms. • After a snort detention for coaling,Ac., she will proceed to the P&cifio on a two-years cruise. „ A;Villainous Piecs op Rowdyism.—Yesterday morning a man, named Dennis Murphy, had a hearing before Aldorman Beitler on the charge of eoaimtUiura scandalous outrage at Chestnut Hill,. It appeared on the’ hearing, that while the order of the United American' Mechanics were passing, Murphy dragged the apparatus of the Congress Hose Company out of its house into the ranks, knocking down aDearerofoneoOhe banners, and causing great excitement. He also brandished a fire-horn he hfid on his person, and injured several of the bystanders in a moat patnfn) manner. He was taken intocustody by the police and brought to the city. There was so necessity for brjnging.the engine out of the house, as there was no alarm of fire. Murphv was in toxicated at the time. The 'alderman, held him in the sum of $2 000 bail to answer, . . , Stocks, Real, Estate, Ac.—The fallowing sale of stocks, real estate, &c., was made by M.

He traced him from place to place, from one of his haunts to another In yam. as his friends kept him studiously out of the detectives’path. On Monday eve ning, however. he espied him Nomine up Race street near Fourth, when he arrested him. Murray demurred and endeavored to reason with tho officer as to tho ille gality and impropriety of his conduot, but he,was token to p rison to await the action of the court on bis case. - Movement among the Dykbs.—There was a meeting of the employing dyers held last evening, at New Market and St. John streets.,- Andrew Proffey act ed as president, and Thomas J. Martin as secretary.' The meeting was a preliminary one, called with tne idea of reforming tho present rates of trade between the cl) ers and manufacturers, dt appears that the dyers have been compelled to- give runmng credits of nine months m settling with the manufacturers. They now ask that at the end of every three.’months they shall re-: ceive casl\ or well-endorsed papair for their labor,' To further this end they propose an organization.
