until death came to his aid.
- It has been already announced that the Masonlo
fraternity intend to erect a monument to that dis
tinguished member of their order, the late Dr,
Elisha Kent Kano. The New York committee have
reported on the subject, and their report, having
been adopted, hie been distributed among the four
hundred and fifty lodges in that jurisdiction. It
is recommended by tho committee that each of
these lodges contribute the sum of five dollars'; and
itis confidently believed that all will give so small
a sum towards an enterprise to deserving. This
special aid is'solicited in the report, and, with the
aid that will likely follow from other jurisdictions,
the Kane Monument Association hope to raise the
sum of $5,000 required'to complete the modest
monument proposed by them in honor of tho late
illustrious navigator, and in honor, too, of the bond
of brotherhood that prompts this act of affectionate
remembrance.
Leigh'Hunt.
Tha London papers have announced the
death of Mr. Leigh Hukt, poet and pen
sioner, the original ' Harold Skimpblo : of
Dickens’s “Bleak House.” It took'place
in the suburbs of London, on the 28th of
August'. The deceased was In the seventy
fifth year of his ago, having been born on the
19th October, 1784. *-i
We have generally made a practice of giving
some account of each distinguished foreigner,
as some event In hie life or the circumstance
ofhis death presented the * occasion. We
have not done so, on the demise of Leigh
Hrax, because, nearly two . years agp, in an
early number, we wrote an article upon' him,
suggested by the appearance of a collective
edition of his poems, in « blue and gold,” in
Boston. ’
"What we did not care to do, however, with'
“ damnable iteration,” has been done/ in a
truly original manner, by the accomplished
and erudite editor of that" great literary and
Morseographic journal, the Public Ledger, of
this city,. Ho devoted the third, of a column
of small type,, yesterday, to 'a; disquisition
upon “The Death of Leigh Hunt,” and
stated some" biographical particulars which,
at all events, have the* freshness of no
velty, They have the peculiarity, too, of
stating exactly the reverse of Leigh, Hunt’s
own relation of the circumstances, in, his
“Lord Byron and sbme of his Contempo
raries,” published in 1828, and In his <c Auto
biography,” republished by the Hashers in
1850, We shall take exactly two inches, ho
nest measure, of .the Morseographic critic’s
biographical notice, and serve it up, sentence
by sentence, in detail. The quotations which
follow, in smaller typo, are from the ledger,—
Heaven forbid that our direst enemy should
mistake them for ours'* "We commence t
“ heigh Hunt wa« iho son of an officer in tbo ar
my, we bcliere, and onme of a jespaotablo family.!’
' Leioh Hunt was the son of a clergyman,
bom at Barbados, who was sent to the Ameri
can Continent .to-bo educated, and wcnttc
college at Philadelphia, whore he fell in love
with his future wife, 'and graduated as Master
of Arts; Hewas in Philadelphia when thoße
volution broke out, and wrote violent painphlete
on behalf of the British Government, whereby
he obtained bo much popular odium that he
was carted through the city to,the “ilogueh
March,” and narrowly escaped tarring and
feathering. His son relates,(Aioluograjj/iy,
Vol 1, p. 19) that after having been carted, to
this rough music, (himself singing ” God Save
the King,” by way of retaliation,) through
every street in Philadelphia, he was deposited,
in the evening, in a prison in Markot street.
One of the stones thrown at him by the mob
struck him so severely on tho head “as not
only laid him'swooning in the cart, but
dimmed his sight for life, so as to oblige him
from that time to wear spectacles.” Bribing
the sentinel, the elder Must' escaped from
prison at midgight, and escaped on board a
ship in tho Delaware, finally reaching England,
where bo entered the Church of England, and
became an eloquent and popular preacher!.
. I-riair Hbkt’s grandfather, by his mother’s
side, was Stephen Shewem,, merchant of
Philadelphia. In tho Autobiography, Hunt
sayst “On that side of the family’we seem al)
rough subjects, with a mitigation
(on the femalo part) of Quakerism; as, on the
father’s sido, we are Creoles and claret-drink
ers, very polito and clerical.” Thre4 sisters,
of Leioh Hunt's mother, herself a Philadel
phian, “were lately (in 1860) wives and
mothers In Philadelphia.” Hunt’s mother
enjoyed the friendship of Dr. Franklin, who
offered to teach her the guitar, but, her son
says, she was too bashful to become his pupil;
Her aunt was the wife of Benjamin West, the
painter. The marriage of LeiohHunt’s fether
to Miss SHEWEivtook place in-Philadelphia,
★here two of their children were born; whence,
no donbt, originated tho, report that Leioh
Hunt was a native of the Quaker City . Not
one word of , these particulars, so locally inte
resting, has the Ledger thought worth relating
in his notice of Leioh Hunt; , Tho averment,
which is here, that LEtaß Hunt “came of a
lespoctabje family?’ was obviously, framed with
a recollection' of the opening linos of that af
fecting national lyric wlilchesay thus, in a
biographical manner, „ ,! ", |r. ’ -
“ St.' Patrick was a gentleman,
Anil came of daunt puple,"
' “ Hia brother,, the ’ infmufncUircr -of Hunt's

their families that pretended to be gentlemen,
whereas ho was the first of his that was any thing
else." ”,' ; ”

representative of, an ancient family in Wilt
shire, ' Leioh Hunt’s father was a Creole, and

tho House of Commous to apologize to him
for his brother William’a bad manners. Tho
fact is, we related this;anecdote,tbe other day,-
and the Morseographer, reading it in The;
Press, picked it up and has spoiled it in tho
telling.
“ Neither of the Hants wore genUomen in heart
or feeling; bat that ia about the worst that could
be said of them. They were men ; and, on the
whole, both mon of value iu thoir day and way.”
For a man to pronounce of another that ho
is “no gentleman,” ho must himself be tho
very; salt of ‘gentility. Perhaps tho Ledgcr-

treat a wholo column in like manner, we might

inquiring correspondent we have to add that
tho lato poet’s full name was James Henby
Leigh Hunt. His father had been tutor to
Mr. Leigh, nephew of the Duke of Chandos,
a father of the late Lord Leigh, which ac
counts for that patronymic getting among his
Christian names. It is pronounced as if spelled
Xee.
Moral. —There is a moral to be deduced
from the present article. Let no man, Moree
ogropher or not, write upon a subject of which
he knows nothing. By keeping within the
limits of what he does know, be it great or
small, he will escape tho inconvenience and
opprobrium of floundering about in a vast sea
of incapacity and ignorance. "Writers, also,
should choose subjects somewhat suitable to
their readers. What can the apple-women
and flsh-vonders of Markot stjeet care for
Lsion Hunt ? How can tho life of a poet in
terest the advertising fortune-tellers and
quacks who especially affect the Ledger, as a
suitable instructor on public events ?
Public Amusement'S'
Tvro benefits enmo off, last night, at tho two
down-town theatres, both extremely well attended.
At Arch-street Theatre, Mr. Booth drew a great
house. At IValnut-streot Theatre, Mr.'J. B. Ro
berts was equally, if not more successful, as every
seat wsß occupied, and numbers had to stand.
Mr. Booth is announced to appoar in “ Riohard
lU.” this evening. His engagement terminates
on this night week.
This evening, we regret to learn, is the last timo
of the performance of., “Faußt and Marguorito,”
one of tho most beautiful and most successful spec*
taole-dramas wo have over- seen. A good, deal of
this success is attributable to the drama itself be
ing very good, with a plot full of interest, and a
dialogue of no ordinary raejpess and. spirit. -The
performers, too, have done their pfrft extremely
well. 'Mrs. Cowojl’s Marguerite is quite ft stijdy,
so naturally atuTcharmingly does she play it, Bho
Itxj/Ls the character, too, and is gracofully and cor
rectly costumed. Mrs. Thayer seems as if tho part
of Martha vofQ written for her, (but it was not.)
and Mr. Perry's Paint, Mr. Sbowcirs Valentine ,
and Mr. Bowors’ Siebel show these gentlemen to
be artists.. Of Mr. Roberts hlnj*tf, wp ?haU only
repeat that he seems to haye.erraNv? the cbayajjfar
of Mephistophiles, so artistically has he,brought out
its more delicate as well as Us more obvious points.
The scenery, costqmcß, 4c., are in aoccordanco
.with the whole piece, ayd t fyo tableaux, especially
tho Apothecsia, are beautiful. )$Te seldom are able
to express a decidedly favorable opluiOb the
music here, believing that Dr, Ounnington fa con
siderably behind the taste of the present day, bat
the musio illustrative of this play is very good and
appropriate. In such a piece, beyond tho liberal
expenditure,wbtah Mrs. Garrettsoa, the lessee, has
bestowed upe? ft, much,depends upon what is done
behind the scenes. This js thedepartment of Mr.
Kenob, the stage manager, nud ftMft the piece has
been played eleven nights, without tho .slightest
hitch, is much to bo attributable to the actfro sur
veillance of Mr. Keach.
Mr. B. L. Davenport, tho eminent tragedian,
commences a short engagement at Walnut-ptroet
Theatre on Monday. !
At the Academy of the new play, “Ini
dora of Sylvania,” will be repaid this evening,
followed by. the truly beautiful mythological bal
let, “ La Fontaine D’Antour,” arranged by Signor
Romani, with Siadljes Prated and GaletU in the
principal r<s/t?y, assisted by a large andcapita! com
pany of minor but still good dancers. The new play
hasaJftßJidy received our opinion, written immedi
ately after tjfe first performance, and not put into
type, as was the case with one of oar contempora
ries, before the eurt«ia wse raidedl This is ono
way, at leapt, of stealings march or This
play, though it was an underplot to relievo tho logro
serious interest, has several striking sceues and
situations. The first Interview betweon Xeidora
apd Guido, (which, we take leave to inform some
of the performer*, fa pronounced Gtveedo and
uot Gecko,) is. very cffecUvs; bo nro 4 the Inter
view of Guido andthe Duke—tho Jjapquot-sceDo,
with song and dance—tbo parting between fttjior
and son—and tho whole of the last act, with its
tragio conclusion. What little Mrs. Bowers had to
do, she did well, but,tho character does cote wit
her. Mr. Wallack plays admirably, and tho
writer of tho play, carefully and skilfully writing
up theoharaeterof theDuko (fwn Aso, in “Pari
sins 7 -’) has produced a part in whioh Mr. Wat
tack appears to the greatest advantage. The
play has been handsomely put upon the stage, by
a liberal management. It is singular that th«r,e
was no occasion, on its sceond performance, to
out it down. The interval between the diiforent
acts was commendobly brief in each instance.
George Christy’s Minstrels are at Musical Fund
HaU, their usual popularity holding good here, as
jt.does in other places. Mr. Lewis A. Zwlsler,
their agent, is an .active man of business, who does
his work without pufi, but with tact and ability.
.Whoever wants to uoe how a pantomime can bp
produced In a band-box of a throatre, may gratify
his curiosity by a visit to MoDonough’s Gaieties,
Race street, below Third. This lately remodelled
theatre comfortably nooommodatos an audience of
1,290, or thereabouts, and is crowded nightly. The
pantomime, with numerous sconic transformations,
mechanical effects, costumes, and properties, has
boon got up by Young Hernandez, and is played by
& company which may -be called numerous, con
trasted with tho size of the thoatro. Mr. McDon
ough is evidently laying the foundation of a fortune
at his pleasant and popular Gaieties.
Sanford's Opera-House is also at full work. ’.The
public throng to it, and IU location (Eloventh-etroot,
above Chesnut,) is one of the best in the city.
Dan Rice, wo perceive, is in this ylcinUy-rwho
tber with or without “ them mu-els,” as ho used to
call them, we know not. Rioc is protty good in
his way, but latterly got tho habit of running riot
w.ith his tongue, and of'talking about political and
other questions lit (he rlnjgj thoroughly ignorant of
what he talked about. He has been getting some
rubs from the Jersey press, we see, which may im
prove him if he be wise. Rice has a certain do
grec of sraartnoss—just as much as is required„in
the position he oceupicsi If he vrj\\ keep a guard
over his tongue and. temper, and be a trifle more
careful.,with his grammar, (occasionally a little
out-at-elbows,) ho will probably make more
friends than onemies. Hitherto, it has been the
other way—rather.
To Street Railroad Makers*
It would Be doslrablo if tbo partioawho lay down
iron rails in the streots for' the use of futuro pas
senger oars would resdoro tho causeway, as nearly
as possible, to tho condftlon in which they found
U. The latest of such laying down has been for
(he Chestnut and- ‘Widnut'Street railway. The
streets ware necossarlly taken up, and have been
laid down again, with."the rails Inserted. Rut an
Immense" quantity of sand and day, whioh was
loosened, has not beeh removed, and the conse
quence is that, now there has been a fall of rain,
these streets are as muddy as if they belonged to
New .York, whore cleanliness is at a discount. This
condition of Walnut' street, especially between
Fourth and Tonth streets, is especially deplorable.
Bven at tho'erossings, the street 1b ankle-deep in
tenacious mnd, of such a donse and sticky Consist
ency that'it Is 'nlihoat impossible for a lady to
cross without dread of leaving one, if not both, of
her ehoeasticking In the centre Of the causeway.
It is nearly na bad in Chestnut street. The parties
tfbd have laid down tho rails should giro the
'streets a tborodghly good sweeping after their
work is done. Where are “the authorities’’who
Bhouldlook after this? Will no publio officials,
ftHloitdufr for tho credit # Philadelphia, take stops
to restore its diameter of being ’ tho very cleanest
in the Union? •“ * *
THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER it, 1859.
Letter from " Occasional.”
[Correspondence of The Proas,J
"Washington, Soptemberlfi, 1851).
A abort time since your ilfatiugutahod Represen
tative, Hon. Thomas B* Florence, who is very bußy
in superintending tho publication of his new J)c- \
jnocratic Quarterly Magazine, applied to tho
Treasury Department for offioial information in re
gard to tho receipts and expenditures of the Go
vernment siuoo (ho last annual report was made.
Ho probably designed publishing them in his now
Magazine, but to his astonishfiiont ho found that
for onoo the archives of tho dopartmont wero closed
to his favored eye, nnd bis indignation at this refu
sal to gratify tho luudabio curiosity of bo staunch a
supporter of the Administration as-liiineotf be
came so notorious that tho action, of tho depart
ment whs telegraphed nil ovor tho Union. I
thought at the timo there must bo some peculiar
reason for such a closo concealment of impor
tant publio information, aud tills mysterious
reticence is uow explained. It appears thatSocro
tnry Cobb mftde oven a greater blundor in the
estimates ofhis report of 1858 tbau In those of his
report of 1857, and ho was naturally, anxious to
conceal his errors as long as possible. “Go forth,
my son, and see with how Httlo wisdom the world
is governed,” is an expression applicable to mo
dern as well as to anoient times. Iu Deoombor,
1857, Mr. Cobb, in estimating the receipts for the
fiscal year commencing July 1, 1857, and termi
nating June 30.1858, set them, down at $75,389,034,
but not quito $68,000,000 was. received, nnd thuß
there was the. trifling discrepancy of an over
estimate of receipts of nearly $7,500,000 in his
calculations \ Warnod by this experience, ho was
determined to be as careful as possible in future,
but, from present indications, he under-ostimated
tho receipts in his report of 1858. as much as be
had over-estimated them in his report of 1857!
In his osculations for the present fiscal year of
1859>C0, ho estimated the rerenuo from customs
at $50,000,000, but it is now supposed' it will renoh
more than $02,000,000, (a slight discrepancy of
$6,000,000 !); and as he estimated the expenditures
at $73,139,147, while it is now alleged thoy will not
exceed $63,300,000, (a slight discrepancy of nearly
$10,000,000 !) it is now believed that his ostimate
of our financial operations for tho present year
was about $10,000,000 out of the way! Surely
such shrewd'guessing should entitle him to the
first rank among financiers. Whon men wish
hereafter to oxpress by ono short w6rd their ad
miration of any groat prognosticator of tho ope
ration of revenue laws, aud skilful estimator of tho
condition of treasuries, at any.given future peri
od, lot him not bo callod ft Hamilton, a Woodbury,
a Walker, or a Guthrie—but a Cobb! However, It
must be confessed that tho errors in calculation of
tho present year will redound much more to tho
finanol&l credit of tho nation, notwithstanding the
discomfiture of tho'Secretary, than thoso of tho
preceding ono, and however much the hoavy im
portations now being made may bo deplored by
those who have a constitutional antipathy to fo
reign commodities, it Is a legitimate sourco ef
satisfaction thatour Government is rapidly regain
ing her wonted ability to moot all her expendi
tures without a resort to loans.
There is a strong disposition to make a great
show of a vigorous nnd determined attitude on tho
San Jqan island question, and there is oven some
talk of ordering Qoneral Scott to that quarter. I
shall, therefore, pot bo astonished if conside
rable belligerent feeling ia aroused- A few years
ago, nothing was more easy than to create a gront
popular excitement in this country, by engendering
abolief that dipl?tnatio difficulties existed which
rendered a war with Great Britain inevitable.
Bpt “ wolf! wolf!” has been cried so often in vain,
that reflecting mon now almost doubt the possi
bility of such a coutcit; and after a peaoe of more
than forty yoars, during which the asperities en
gendered by our first and second wars of indopen.-
denoe havo boon greatly softened down, the people
of neithornatlon will permit any “light or transient
cause” to interrupt tho extensive commoroiaUn
tcrcoqrse which exists between them.
There has beep copsider&blo consternation in tho
White House during tho present weok, at the
strong symptomß of rebellion that bape brqkon out
in the Demooratio ranks, in tho President's old
homo, Lancaster county. A friend now hero from
Lancaster county b&s given mo a full account of
the proceedings, from which it is evident that Mr.
Swarr, the postmaster, can no longer
say, “lam monarch o£ all I survoy,” when ho
looks upon ft Jjancaster County Convention. Tho
“regular” resolutions consisted of tho usual falsa
eulogy of tho President; butOeorge M. IClipe, £sq.,
moved to amend them by substituting » series
which were made up almost verbatim from the
Cincinnati Platform and Mr. Buchauan’s letter of
* acceptance. The sapient defender of the President
intbo ponfeutiofl condemned the substitutes as “ a
new-fangled doctrine, swt.tw.ejyo months old, which
should be condemned by every JJ'cmqgrtit,” and
thus excited the ridicule of tho wholoapdienco. Mr.
Kline supported his resolutions with much ability,
but under a sharp postmaster drill the original reso
lutions were adopted by a vote of thirty-two town
ships to eieyen. Thus, although tho power of pa
tronage was far tho triumphant, from the
stupidity with which it was exercised, and tho <}p
tormination manifested to resist it, it fa evident
that the nominal victory achieved has almost de
stroyed the prestige of tho victors. Some of these

TUE DEMOCRATIC STATU CONVENTION ; WUAT IS
THOUGHT AUOrr It: COMI'LKXIOX OP TITB DRUB
GATES TO CHARLESTON—TUB MASONIC FRATER
NITY AND THE KAXb MONUMENT— FAIR OF THE
AMERICAN INSTITUTE.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
New York, Sept, 15,1859.
The proceedings at the Demooratio State Conven
tion at Syracuse furnish abundant topic for con
versation, outside of pofltioaloirolos, and I scarcely
nood say that ono universal expression of condem-
nation is hoard at tho brutal rowdyisifl* of the
fighting mon who weut to the tho
friends uud partiauua of Foruaudo Wood. A* a
matter of wore policy, it was doubtless tho most
stupid, as certainly' us it was the-
and fatal, blunder that could possibly havo been
oommitttd. So badly was it planned aud *d bun
gliugly oxwnted, that, with the oxoeptiorwßhat.
obstinate, opinionated, portion, Mr. Ai
vord, of Syracuse, Rnd'jhrey other' sort heads,
(each utterly devoid of idfßfatloc in his own locality,)
tho wholo sovou and twonty Hards, marshalled by
Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Croswoll, became disgusted,
and immediately sought tho repoao as well as tho
regularity of tho Convention propor. Mr. Dlokin
sou ovincod his oharaoteristio shrewdness and tact
by making it tho pog upon which to hang a spocoh
and a lottor, and afforded a most desiruhio oppoi
tunity of reinstating himself in the good foeliugs
of his historical opponents; thoy mot him cor
dially and treated him with magnanimity. Indeed,
to tho oustem-bouso interest and to those who re
present the respectability of the Hurds, tho knock
ing down of the temporary Stry
ker, was tho greatest godsend thoy could have pos
sibly had.
. The correspondent of the 2W.*, who gives the
calmest, as it appears to bo tho best, description of
tho spirit of the Convention, states that-?
“It was known in Now York, on tho 11th and
12tb, that Fornando Wood had offered free tiokots
to Syracuse and back, with money for “ refresh
ments,” to all tho most dangorous characters of tho
olty who could bo relied on, or wero thoteht relia
ble, to forward his interests. Ho had* large ac
quaintance with that class of gentry who are known
as “ travelling on their shouldor,” and all suoh
as mndo application wero heartily welcomed and
furnished with the sinews of war. .Among the
parties so furnished with money and tickets, or
enlisting as amateurs In tho proposed freo
tight, thore might bo seen in .fornnndo’fl
rooms, nnd following him around tho streots,
such men as Red-hooded Tom, lien Perris,
Neely or Cornelius Wood, Jim Oorirfbtor, Andio
Sheehan, Spanish Lowy, Jim Willett,Twtldy Bums,
Bon Kny, Soldior Flynn, of the First word, Dan
Lynn, Paddy Duffy, Jim Hughes, tho Benicia Boy,
nnd soino two dosen others of tho Jiko kidney but
of less note. Sovornl of these did nit appear to
liko tho position they wore oompollod to occupy,
and asserted m various companies that, though pntd
for being thoro to “sco fair piny,” as Fernando
termed it, thoy would not strike a blow on any side
except in self-dofonoe or on justifying:provocation.
Jim Hughes, tho Benicia Boy, and Spanish Lewy
wore understood to occupy this position, but tho re
mainder of tho gang gave no evidence of not fully
participating in the truculent purpose for which
they had been hired and brought up.”
The (Jetnifa furnished by tho correspondent of
the Times are graphically given, and have serve'd
to fix dooply in tho publio wind a.feeling of do
testation against these usurpations of ruffianism.
The gonornl sentimont of the party is confirma
tory of tho action of tho Convention. Amqjopty
of tho delegation to Charleston are unquestionably
in favor of Douglas; and tho foot fa’by no moans
without significance, that the pormanont president
of tho Convention, Wm. 11. Ludlow‘‘who namod
tfeo committoo to report tho delegation to Charles
ton, wssqijoqf thoso who onrlieat took ground in
favor of tho course of .Judge Dotiglas on Lc
compton, and against the policy of Jft\ Jluchauan.
Mr. Ludlow himself is a delegate from the First
distriot, and will exorcise in tho New York dele
gation, at Charleston, tho eamo inflgonoo that ho
oxerofaed at Cincinnati, and has exorcised in noariy
all tjio Conventions and all tho insido movements
of tho Democratic party in this State for tho last
eight yoars.
Tho Masonio fraternity are putting forth renewed
exertions in referenoo to the ine&fruent to Dr.
Kane, and with good prospect of suocoss. At the
last meeting of tho Grand Lodge State, a
cowniitteo was appointed to
am] ibey have issued a circular, reoommemling
that each lodge in tfyo stAto not loss
than five dollars. There apo in the Stnto four Imn
dred nnd fifty lodges, and thousand
members of the ordor, and no doubt fa entertained
but that the required sum to coraploto tho monu
ment will be speedily raised.
Preparations for tho fair of tho American In
stitute, $t £alaco fjafdon", are rapidly progressing.
On the eaetcfn s|de of t£e garden taere fa if ftred
two hundred foot long and twenty-ft-o faet ijride in
process of erection lor the frccomwodaljop of tho
machinery. It fa to bo securely roofed ond
guarded in every respect. Throe steam engines
and one of Ericsson’s caloric en|feeswlU be be

It la expeoted that tho tent will b*perfeotly water

of Augustus Severna, the court ordered that 8100 per
week bo paid lor tho child’s support; in that of Nathan
Bailey 82 for the child’s support.
The caseof the City vs Nelmas whs called up, when

Guardians of the Poor. said that such
was the tact and ho hndasxonted to the discharge of the
defendant bocauso the wife did not oueytbo summons.
Ho had afterwards ascertained that the reason she did
not appear was that she was in the Almshouse, and tho
process did not rench her. In this cane tho husband was
but soventoon years old when married. Tney havo a
child nearly five years old, and the husband is only
twenty-two; The defendant leit tho wife soon after the
first child was born, but has been living with herai
times since then. They have two children now living,
one died a few weeks ago in the Almshouse, Thoconr

Fatal Accident in u Cisteru.
'll CHILDREN DROWNED AND A MOTHER NEARLY
DROWNED.
Through tho medium of a private lotter, wo
(earn of the Bad death of two children of Mr. Joel
AVilwot, who removed from this city to Carthago,
Jefforaon county, about a year ago.
Mrs. Wilmot, (formerly MUs Partridge, of this
oity,) it would appear, was at home aldpe with her
two children on Tuesday last and went to draw
water from a elstern covered only with a board, in
the shed adjoining the house. While sho hastened
1 to return at the ory of her babo, Arthur, aged about
three years, it is presumed, fell into tho open cis
tern. In cooking to reece him, <ho also fell into
tho cistern, with her babe iu hor arms. Tho
precise hour at which this occurred is not kuon.
When Mr. Wilmot returned, not finding anyone
in the house, ho looked for his family, but saw
nothing till ho hoard a grown, ovidontly proceeding
from tho cistern, and looking there behold his wife.
Tho cistorn must bo quite deep, for ho was unable
to tuko hor out till he obtalnoci help from a neigh
bor who hoard his call and came ln.‘ While draw
ing her out, tho father saw.tho body of his litjlo
son in the water, and on- inquiring for tho bubo,
was told that it, too, was in tho cisteru, from which
its body was aftorwarda recovered., '
Mrs. Wilmot is very feeble, almost insousible,
and had been able to give very little explanation
of the accidont. Uor life is considered in danger.
The children were, the eldest throe or four yoars
old, and the youngest about as many months.—

A Novelty in Fasiiio^,— Among tho no
velties recently introduced in ladies’ apparel, is a
new article of suspenders. They bear rosemblnnee
to those worn by gentlemen, except that they are
made of delicate, white elastics £as>r!o, with frilled
edgo about one inch wide, and are attached to tho
skirt by buttons in liko manner. We doubt not
this invention will be generally adopted with a
view to relievo tho waißt of the unlimited burden,
which such habiliments necessarily produce. Rea
son and experience teach uj that the old and ab
surd method, while followed, Impairs tho hoalth,
impedes locomotion, and tends to ill health.

Young, a colored woman, who about a month since,
whiio at the -Falls, concluded to lonve her mis*

Her master* not disposed to p&rt with his “ pro

22 years of age,) in this manner, followed Sarah
Jnne to the Clifton House, whore she had obtained
employment, and attempted to induce her to re
turn with him. Sho fled to Toronto, and is now
safe.

Tire in Newark.
[From tlio Newark Mercury, September 16.1
Al>out hall past two o’clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm of fire was sounded for tho Fifth district. The
alarm was occasioned br a fire in tho third story of the
hriok building, comer of MoWhmter and East Hamil
ton streets, occupied by D. G. Griffiths, forfanor scroll ,
anil circular sawing; by T. E. Cnapman. wood tumor,
o}m A. C». ward, manufacturer of wood mouldings,
fho fire originated in the boiler room.
During the fire one of the walls of the briok building
left* and sat oral ot the firemen who wero unable to nel
out of tho way were injured br the falling bricks. Wm.
Stitt, foreman or Engine Company No. 7. suwtained the
greatest injury. We are informed however, that he is
fatallj injured. He received a severe cut on tho head,
ami one ol his legs was badly bruised, and is also sup
posed to ha%*o boon injured internally.
Walter Parsons, of Etuine Company No. 8 received a
cut on bis head, from which tho blood flowed profusely,
hut the wound is not serious. Abram Parsons of the
same company, was also slightly injured. A member
of the same company, named Douriaa. was aluhtly
bruised about the knee. A number of other Accidents
occurred during the firo. Amemtterof Ensme Company
N 0.6, whose name we did not learn, had his arm hroken
by tho lover of tho engino; George Denman, of No. 11,
had throe of his finger* crushed by the brakes. One or
them was nearlr severed from the hand, aod uneoi'the
others will probably have to bo amputated. A man who
was perched on tho top of the box of No. 9 fell off, and,
landing on the brakes, was tossed up and down several
times, and finally struck the ground without having suf
fenedany particular Jiprt.
We were unable to ascertain labl evening the extent
of the loss sustained, but it has been estimated at be
tween 870 000 aiiq 825.000. The building and stock is
said to have been insured for 312 OC3 in different com
panies. Tne building weave y Urge, and rooms were
occupied in it by other persons than those namod. who
will, however, be the principal losors. The building
was owned by Mr. A C. Ward. The firemen ceased
their jabors about 7 onlopk, but there waa fire enough
remaining among the ruins to light up the vicinitr all
Right. The walls were all prostrated, Out a tall chim
ney remained g aud’ng.
During the progress of the fire,atrenphw®«dujt under
the railroad tracks for the passage of the hose of such
eiumes as were receiving a supply of water from
beyond Railroad avenne. By this, tho trains would not
bo interfered with. This conflagration is the most ex
tensive o\ir oity has experienced in a long time, and
more accidents to firemen occurred, though,'fortu
nately. none of them proved fatal, than at any pre
vious fire m our city. Considerable of tho stock in
tlio building was saved, but the machinery and tools
were rendered almost worthless, the building lieing en
tirely destroyed, 1

A Mystery Solved.—There are,thousands of
porsons who consider the success of the great Drown
Stone Clothing B all of Rockhil| k Wilson as “ a marvel
and a mystery.” Now there is no mystery in it when
we take into consideration the location, Nos. 603 and6os
Cbestautstreet.onedoorabove Buthetreet. Theskil
ful cutters the firm employ, the neat, substantial, and
elegant manner In which their garments are got up, and
the convenient arrangement of their large and magnifi
cent store, whieh is fifty feet fronton Chestnut street,
byono hundred feet deep, one wing of which fronts on
Sixth street, tho whole of which is furnished wi-b beau*
tiful mahogany-top counters, upon which is displayed
the most perfect stock of clothing, both men and boys,
in the city. Customers are waited upon by polite and
accommodating salesmen. In this vast establishment
there are fifteen counters, forming ranges of aisles, in
wi.ich one hundred persons can be accommodated at one
time without interfering with each other in their pur
chases. We repeat that when we take into considera
tion all these advantages, there is no mystery whatever
about the auocoss of this popular house. It is no more
strange m mysterious than theautumnal harvest, which
is the natural result of sowing seed in the spring time.

Royal Insurance Company.—ld another co-
lumn will be found extracts from tho report of this in
gfittmon fqr the year 1853, The Royal still continues itsor
mark&ble progress, which has scarcely a parallel in the
history of underwriting. Still the business shows a gra
dual development, and not irregular, disproportionate
expansion. The following are the step* of She upward
ascent m the annual amount of fire premiums r
$690,300
750.665
576.U0
900.7*)
An annual inoome of about on® million of dollars, at
tained in this department alone in a few days.
The experience of the Royal, during 1556, folly de
monstrated the trnth of the principle, that, other cir
cumstances being equal, the larger the business the
safer. Notwithstanding the heavy conflagration ai
Valparaiso, and those in London, tho Aggregate of the
losses of the oJTio# is a psr aentum of the prepmipi*,
than the average of the chums against the company du-
ring several preceding rear*.
The advance of the life business is told in these
figures—vix: IAM, Number of Policies issued,kfi; Sum
Assured, $313,831. ISM, Number of rolieies, 813; Sum
Assured, §1,9113,761. The acquisitions of the life depart*
ment consist of most carefully selected lives. The total
of the new premiums of I?A3 is §60,760-
The reserve fund of the Royal uow amounts to §7tH,-
28p, which is adequate tor any contingency within the
linm of probability.
A dividend of 3*. per share, and a bones oft*, per
ihars. free of income tax, was decided upon by the
directors.
Tie Philadelphia Agency of the Royal, under charts
of George Wood, Esq., has contributed its fall ahara to

Chalybeate Pills.—The only preparation of Medi
cinal Iron sanctioned by the Medical Faculty, and pre
scribed in their practice.
The experience of thousands daily proves that no pre
paration of Iron can, for a moment, be compared with
it. Innoxious in all maladies in which it has hitherto
been tried, it has proved absolutely curative in numer
ous cases of each of the following complaints, vis:
In Debility, Nervous Affections, Emaciation, Dyspep
sia. Constipation. Diarrheas, Dysentery, Incipient
Consumption, Scfofuloas Tuberculosis, Salt
Rheum, Scurvy, Mismenstmation, Whites,'

Headaches. Rheumatism, Inter
mittent Fevers. Ae., Ac., ice.
Debility, Impurity of the Blood, Depression of Vital
Energy, Pale and otherwise Sickly Complexions, indi
cate its necessity in almoet every conceivable case. In
all cases of Female Debility its effects are delightfully
r§ novating. No remedy has ever been discovered ia the
whole History of Medicine which exerts each prompt,
happy, and fully restorative effects. Invalids so long
bed-ridden as to have become forgotten in their own
immediate neighborhoods, have, after a few tnalsof
this Restorative, suddenly appeared in the busy world,
as if just returned from-protracted travel in a distant
land. Good appetite, oompletedigestion, rapid acquisi

and cheerful exercise, immediately follow its use.' For
