Pennsyivitnia Credit.
The article which’ iye. copied irom the Lou
don Times on Friday, en tho flnancial repute.-,
tion of Pennsylvania contains soino unploasaut
tenths. 1.- ;
dVo have no’’hesitatiott in saying that tho
policy of imposing a tax upon our State loons
was univiso. Tho tax had no hxisteneo at tho
time of the creation of tho loans, and we should
never impair the obligation of an original con
tract by an aiteratipn of its forms. The act
of-1815 is; therefore, justly amenable to the
strictures of the LondoniTimcs, and Pennsyl
vania cannot claim to stand in as fair alight In
respect to full and prompt payment as New
York, Massachusetts, and the majority of tho
American as well os lEurporean States, who
pay their debts without deduction. But tho
London Times ought to remember that tliis
practice was really borrowed by our Legisla
ture from Great Britain, who has, on several
occasions, reduced tho interest on her debt,
which was quite much more of an act of repu
diation than the taxing of our Stato leans.
But this was in tiniCß of great financial du.
pression. Since then our Stato has promptly
paid her debts, and her policy now is to re
move tho tax upon her loans. By a recent
enactment a half mill has been token off tbe
tax, and the present Governor of tho Stato is
folly committed to tho speedy reduction of
the debt aud tho removal of tho tax upon Die
loans.
• And, notwithstanding this drawback, tho
credit of Pennsylvania is us good as
that of any other State. A foreign loan
could bis negotiated as readily id net he- 1
half. The gradual reduction of the debt—tho
favorable and eloquent review of our finances
in Gov. Packer’s February messsage—the sale
of the public works, and his recent official an
nouncement of the cancellation of 11,137,153
of the Stato debt—indicate thrift and pros
perity, and show a dcsito to preserve our Credit
and maintain a character for honesty.
We regret, however, to record that tho re
pudiation of tho municipal subscriptions in'
some of our western counties has seriously
affected our credit abroad. Our merchants
are constantly receiving letters ftom their
foreign correspondents asking for UU explana
tion of a stato of affairs which can only be
accounted for by saying that tbo peoplo are
dishonest and refuse to pay their debts, and
that, through tho law’s del aV, ck inability of
tho courts to provide a remedy, they cannot
bo made to pay. If this stigma were merely
local, confined to tho citizens and borders of
Allegheny county, wo should not trouble our
selves ; but, unfortunatoly, our Stato is more
or less implicated, and suffers under the
odium of having formally authorized tho very
subscriptions which are new repudiated. By
virtue of acts or Assembly and various sup
plements, tho counties were empowered to
make those subscriptions to railroad enter
prises, under certain restrictions, always re
quiring tho popular assent in some wav, cither
expressed by a direct vbto of tho inhabitants,
or by recommendation of some constituted
representation of tho people. And, further
more, by another act of Assembly, these mu
nicipal loans were made a lawful investment
for trust funds. Tho credit of Allegheny
county was good; tho Commissioners issued
tho bonds; the county received the stock;
the compact was regularly closed; tho semi
annual interest was promptly paid; tho rail
roads were constructed; there was no whisper
of repudiation—and forall these reasons many
guardians and trustees purchased tlieso bonds
as a safe and profitable investment for widows,
orphans, anil other dependants.
When, however, the railroad companies
failed to provide tor the interest, a general cry
of repudiation was raised; (although the city
of Pittsburg was willing to receive and still re
tains the dividend of eight per cent, paid on
her subscription to tho Pennsylvania Rail
road,) and Allegheny county and that city
dishonored this, as well as ail the other sub-,
scriptions. The anti-tax movement soon
became popular; for nothing is more odious
than taxation for any purposo, and both politi
cal parties in Allegheny have dishonored
themselves by placing themselves on a repu
diation platform.
Still, we are inclined to believe that tho bet
ter class of citizens iu Allegheny county will
set their faces against the infamous doctrine of
repudiation. A short time ago,, a protest,
and most—. -
teemed citizens and tax-payers' of Pittsburg,
Allegheny; and the county, appeared in the
Pittsburg papers. The protestantß, comprls.-
ing the great iron and manufacturing firms and
representing over twelve millions of capital,
nsc this emphatic language:
“Wo are painfully sensible of the loss of cha
racter as a debt-paying and law-abiding commu
nity, which we hare sustained abroad, by tho ill
advised oonree which a portion of our people have
pursued. We are aware that our commercial credit
and onr manufacturing interests are suffering from
this cause, and, we believe, far more severely thau
they would bo from the tax required to pay our
railroad debt, heavily as that might weigh upon
lIS-”
This is all true. Repudiation will exercise
a disastrous influence upon American credit.
In a word, it will drive foreign capital from
our shores. It is Accessary, therefore, for the
honest portion of the citizens of Allegheny
county to do something moro than protest;
they must act , and endeavor to frustrate tho
efforts of the demagoguo, and appeal to the
consciences and tho sober-second thought of
tho people.
- But, after all, a very serious question has
beon propounded to us. Many of our best
citizens, most of the profession, and the entire
judiciary, deprecated tho election of the judges
by the people, aud we have been asked
whether the bondholders can rely upon the in
tegrity and independence of tho court of last
resort, aud tho efficiency of the laws'/ Or,
to present this question in another shape,
whether tho Supremo Court can he swayed or
overawed by popular clrnnor? and if not,
whether the law is potent enough to provldo a
remedy, in cose a mob should determinedly
resist the action of tho courts t
. All such fears are groundless. Bondholders
must patiently submit to tho necessary delays
of the law; but in the end, the authorities of
Allegheny county will bo compelled topro
vido for the interest; or, what will probably
take place and he much more gratifying, a re
turning sense of justice will induce tho citi
, zens to make tardy amends to those sufferers
who, in an evil hour, placed confidence in tho
faith, credit, and property of Allegheny county
and the city of Pittsburg, j
Iu the meantime, Pennsylvania must endure
these foreign slings and. slurs upon her finan
cial credit and reputation.
In Wealthy contrast to the example of Al
legheny county, wo are proud to rank tho coil
duct of Philadelphia, which, although deeply
interested in a number of non-paying rail
roads, from which she receives no dividends,
has never refused to meet all her obligations,
principal and interest.
Public Amusements.
AU the places of public amusement in this city
were well attended lost night. Walnut-street Thea
tre was as fall as if it bad been a benefit* night.
Miss Maggie Mitchell has proved a winning card
in the hand of tho fair lessee, and has already won
great popularity. At tbe Arch, Tom Taylor’s now
play, well written and well acted, is decidedly at
tractive, and Miss Angela Sefton (who it is to bo
hoped-will be allowed to play a wider range of
character than she has yet appeared in) has crowds
of admirers. Mr. Plaoido’s benefit at the Academy
was a decided success. Marsh’s juvenile troupe at
the National also played to a vory good house.
Sanford's was crowded, and at McDonough's Gaic*
ties the Pantomimo continues to attract—if wo
might uso an Irishism—rather more people than
the honso can well hold.

THfe PRESS.—PtftLADfiLPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2§, 1859.
The Engineer of the GrCat Eastern.
Mr. Bnram;, engineer of that sea-monster,
tbo Grtdf Eoj/ern,' is no more. He yns born
at Bortsmouth (Englaud) in 1800, tho year in
which ids father, the lato Sir JtAltk Isamu ebt
Bkonel, completed hla contract for making
ship-blocks by machinery for the British navy.
Sent at an early ago to Franco, his father’s na
tive country, ho was educated at Caen, in Nor
mandy, and, on his return, at tile ago of 20,
was employed under his father, then con
structing the Thames Tunnel. In 1833 ho was
appointed ohlef engineer of the Great Wcstorn
Railway, which lie planned and Constructed on
what is called tho Broad Gauge—more ex
pensive in construction and plant, hut also
more safe than tiro ordinary narrorvor gauge,
and capable of more rapid travel. His greatest
railway accomplishment is tiro celebrated Box
Tunnel near Bath.
■ The Great ll'es/cm, the first nlahVmoth At
lantic steamor, was built by Mr. Brunul, at
Bristol. He committed one curious error in
constructing her—that Svas his making her
wider than tho dock-gate she had lo pass
through, a difficulty ended, much as tho Gor
dian Knot Was untied, by pulling down tho
gate and wall to make room for the oxit of the
great vessel.
Mr. BROkEh built tho Utiiigcrford Suspen
sion Bridge across tho Tlmmcß, from tho hack
of Charihg Cross to tho Surrey sldo, not far
from Waterloo Bridge. He built the Sarttino-
Tuscan Railroad, and look uh active part in
the erection bf the Britannia and Conway tubu
lar Irridgcs. During tho Crimean war he was
charged with tire building of the Hospital of
Renkioi, on tho Dardanelles.
The Leviathan, as she Was originally 'c&Vlcd—
much to the holy horror of tire feev. Dr. John
CuMmixo, of London, preacher and prophot—
Was originatci by kr. BroSei, Who was her en
gineer from tho first, iho difficulty oflaunch
ing her is known to havo so greatly atlcctcd
Mr. BRn'NEh’s mind, that When she was fairly
afloat, his nervousness had not much abated;
Ho died, on tho 14th of tins month, his com
plaint being paralysis. Several years ago,
when playing with one of his children, Mr.
Brunet, accidentally swallowed a goldon half
sovereign, which stuck in his throat, and
though ablest surgical aid Was employed, it
Wab folffid ffnpossible to remove it. Tho coin
remained firmly fixed in his throat for a con
siderable period, and Mr. Bruner, of a very
nervous temperament, appeared literally
pining away. At last, whoh tilings Seemed
at their Worst, his Irish hiah-Bervantgave him
a pinch of snuff, and tho violent sneezing
which this caused suddenly removed the
coin.
In stature, Mr. Brvxel was short, without
being stout. He WaS dark-complexioned, ac
tive, restless, and very lively in conversation.
Ho used gonorally to work fifteen hours out of
the twenty-four, and generally tnado ills own
finished plans, bring Sill excellent draughts,
man. He was a kind as well as a liberal em
ployer. Witli the singlo exception of Mr.
Robert Stephenson, son of tho Father of
Railwayism, Mr. Brunel was the best English
engineer. From his unostentatious lnanher of'
living, and his tnimeUSb business, ho must
have realized a great fortune. He happily
lived to seo ids great ship, the Great Eastern,
fairly in blue-Water. There is a good memoir
of Mr. Brunel in Volume fY ot tho New
American Cyciopicdia, and a briefer one in
Vapcroau’s Dictionnairc dcs Contemporaines.
Letter from “ Occasional.”
[Correspondence of Tho Frcsa.l
Washington, September 28, 1859.
The attack of oK*Minlster WtUiam It. lloeil
upon tho Domocrats vrho stand by tho principles
of tho party, has treated no surprise in thia t[uar*
tar. Mr. Hood is working for his wage 3, and his
speech at Jayne’s Hall, in your city, tho report of
which reached bore on Tuesday ovonlng, was the
rosult Of Instructions from Washington. The Ad
ministration wanted a loader in Pennsylvania; it
has no leader now; it has no confidence in any of
the old Democrats; ovon thoso who profess to bo
against Douglas givo no satisfaction to Mr. Du*
chanan when thoy say they are for Drcokioridgo,
for tho rule of tho latter would, unquestionably, be
distasteful to the powers that be. Mr. Buchanan
felt, whon ho appointed William B. lUod minister
to China, that he ossumod a grave responsibility.
He would have liked to ha Ye had Mr. llecd as a mem*
her of his Cablnot-, but the manifestations of popular
feeling against that act wore such as to convinco
him, that in all this broad land no man could be
found mi r-* l * n«
William B. lleed, of Pennsylvania—n fact uhun*
dantly proved by tho v denunciations hcapod
upon the Administration when an import*
ant diplomatic appointment was conferred
upon him. Therefore, Mr. Buchanan insisted
that William B. Hoed should como out of
his shell, and with his unquestioned abilities as
sume tho lead of tho old Democratic party*—that
party which Reed has done more to traduce than
any othorwhltomapnow alive. But desperate oases
roquire dosporato romedles, and no other leader
being at hand, tho President selected Mr. Heed.
The protracted silenco whioh Mr. Heed so studi
ously maintained during his visits to Washington,
in regard to tho differences in the Dciuooratio
party, was the result, no doubt, uf the Indisposi
tion of the President to offer new fees for tho
former law officer of your Court of Quarter Ses
sions. It is quite evident, however, that tho l&to
minister to China is satisfied at Inst, and that bo is
oontent to take tho responsibility of dragooning
you “ robols” in consideration of another valua
ble recognition on the part of tho Executive, so
you must prepare for the lash. William B. Heed
tho leader of tho Democratic party of Pennsyl
vania! The libeller of Andrew Jackson, the per
secutor of George M. Dallas, tho revilor of
George Wolf, and the enemy of Francis H.
Shunk! But you must submit to it} however
you may grumblo and growl. There is a
shrewd philosophy in all these movements of
Heed’s. Tho moro he is assailed tho more his de
mands upon tho Exooutiro will increase, and in
proportion as tho sands of tho Administration run
out, sohis claims upon that Administration accu
mulate. I ought to add that Attorney General
Black is greatly delighted at tho idea of putting
Heed into tho breach, inasmuch as ho fools that he
has suffered sufficiently from tho cross-fire. By tho
way, talking of Mr. Reed, why should ho not ap
ply for the French mission ? Sir. Mason, tho pre
sent minister at Paris, is perfectly ready and will
ing to como homo whonevor Mr. Buchanan dpfdres
to recall him. Mr. Roed would make an admira
ble representative at that coi\tt, and his appoint
ment would be a good retirement from tho scenes
tk *t await his continuanoo in tho Democratic party,
and in the State of Pennsylvania.
I referred to Mr. Brockinridge in the opening
paragraph of this letter. It is known that he has
positively declined being a candidate for tho Presi
dency, and yet the Administration men in your
State, wherever they can do so, aro rallying under
his flag. lam moro than half authorized to assure
them that nothing could bo worse for them than
this. The fact that thoy aro going for Breckin
ridge, as a half-way houso to Douglas, does them
no good with tho powers that be. The President
is excessively indignant at this now movement of
his friends, and does not bositato to speak of it in
his own way whenevor an opportunity is pre
sented
It is assorted tfcat Mr. Prior, Into editor of The
States, will bo elected by a largo majority in the
Petersburg, Virginia, district, to the next Ilouboof
Representatives of tho United States. He is an
extreme Southern man, with strong Douglas pro-
and will make & figure on tho floor of tho
popular branch of tho Nntional Legislature.
Letters lately received horo from lown unhesi.
tatingly assert that Hon. A. C. Dodge—tho Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in that State—ls
driving Kirkwood, tho Republican candidate for
tho same ofßco, to tho wail, by taking bold ground
in favor of tho Douglas doctriue of popular sove
reignty in the Territories. Governor Dodge Is an
ablo statesman, and his opinion on a great issue
like tho present is cutitlod to tho most careful

Tho Loss of tho Steamer Fa]ton«
The following fester, from an officer attached to
the steamer Fulton, gives a minute account of the
toss of that ill-fated vessel:
[Correspondence of The Press.)
Pensacola, Florida, Soph 18,1850.
Tho stoainor Fulton left Key West nn the 10th
inst., for Bahia Honda, on the north aide of Onhn,
expecting to got a pilot for the south aido; but, im
stead of bringing up at that place, we found our
selves, ‘on tho next morning, off Harnnn, the cur.-
rent hating swept us dotrn during Jjift night-. .On
the following morttlbjJ, wo stood up tho ooast, and
hove to off Bahia Honda thatevoning;' but failing
to obtain the services of a pilot, wo wore obliged
to make tho best of our way fy> (jape Auto*
nio. We had htariy doubled tho Capo, whor.
tho captain, purser, and myself (being provJ
oisly sick with tho fever) bocame very much
worse, and tho fovor was spreading rapidly among
the crew. The eajUatji AlHlost delirious, and
In consequents was obliged to give up command to
tho first lieutenant, instructing him U take Urn
vessel to tho Tortugaslslands, but owing to it mif
take in calculating the current, whioh in this lati
tude is vory stroug, wo failed to roach tho istandi
tho next lqomtnj, n 3 oxpccted, being at least om
hundred miles off them. In a fow hours tho sky
beoamo overcast, and every appoaranoo indicated
badwoathor; and fearing an oquinwtial, wo kept
on tbo same courso until the eua became so boavj
that tho water wus two feet OU deux. Tho storm
increasing, vro ttoro obliged to batten down the
borth-dook hatches; but tho doctor fiuding that the
sick wore suffering in consequonce of a want ot
fresh air, wo deernod it necessary to uiako the
nearest port in order to save the blok
Key WcßtwaaneflT) but owing to tho wind and
sea being ahead it was impossible to mako it. It
was therefore decided to koep away for PcDsacola.
This wnß on tho 14th, on which day an observation
was takon to ascertain our position; but owing to
tho horizon being bod. and tboaun only visible for
a minute, tho result of our observation was not
deemed vory accurate. Wc> however, supposed the
vessel to bo southwest of Tortugns four hundred
miles. We wero, scudding along beautifully, when
suddenly a thhndcr squall camo along, wheu we
took in sail and bent n Btdrm staysail. Tbo next
day (the 15th), wo had run,about two hundred
miles. The soa bad now become fearfully
high, when an nftkward fellow nt the helm
let her como to A little, in cossequcnoo of
whioh we shipped a Imavy sea, which came
within four inoncs of tho fire, so high was tbe
water in the flro room. The bar uow began
to fill rapidly, but os wo wero 200 mile» from land,
wo thought ourselves sccuro in running n fow hours
longer, hoping that tho galo would abate and the
sea subside. To lay the vessel to In so heavy a sea
would havo boon a task almoßt impossible to accom
plish; besides, tho vessel could not hnvo stood it.
Wo thoreforo .oqnclnded to continue on our course,
hoping to loaoh land tho noxt morning or run the
vessol ashore, which was accordingly dono on the
morning of the Idth inst., and all hands saved.
Whon I loft tho vessel yesterday she had then
been on shoro two days, and sho had not started a
knee or beam. Tho wreckers aro at work saving
the stores and provisions, all of which will bo got
ten out in good condition.
The Exhibition at FowcUon*
The Fair ground, yesterday, was thronged with visit
ers from alt parts of tho State, and the diFplayofarti
clog was unanimously admitted to bo huh!) creditable.
There is, we think, more than tho usua t amount of ar
ticles essentially new, and the spirit evinced by exhibi
tors to make tho n)oit of so excellent an opportunity in
bringing their different improvements before the pub
lic, we have rarely seen equalled. The Fair presents a
“live” scene lh every sense of the word. We resume
our notices of tho various articles exhibited, ns follows:
Messrs. Arthur, Burnham, Sc Gilroy-* proprietors of
tho world-renowned “Old Dominion" coffee end toa
pols, and a thousand othor patent articles of acknow
ledged merit, make their usual f\no display of tho vari
ous articles thoy manufacture. Tho “Old Dominion”
coffee-pot alone has made tho name of tins rospeclablo
and enterprising firm known in every Htato and Terri
tory throughout the land. Their name, with more truth
lhan it is sohietimps said, has really become a Aeiru
holel word, though as a kitchen word among tho
“Biddys” wo cotifd not vouch for Us brin? “named
lint to prnui.” Here, in Philadelphia, nt» farther ef
fort on tho part of newspaper philanthropists to con
vince judges of coffee that tho “Old Dominion”
is the greatest invention of the nineteenth cen
tury, would he useless; and ns wo heard scores
oHndies from tho interior pay similar compliments to
their favorite coffoo pot, ns thoy passed them yesterday,
we are inclined to thipk that any furthor eulogy of
them, ovon for the benefit of the rdral districts, is un
necessary. We Would ortly say boforo dismissing tho
subject, that we sympathise with tho lovers of go-*d
coffee, who have never >et had tho pleasure of tastine
it, is fAey'certainly Have not who have not yet made
the Acquaintance of tho “Old Dominion.” As much
tuny to paid of tlie too. pots also. Their monster sijiy
fout gallon pot in tho exhibition aihmli no mean idoa
of the new dome on t!je Capitol at Washington! In the
article of fruit jars, those of Arthur’s patenting have
justly attained an enviable reputation. Their display
of theso is also very extensive; and inkcoping with
their usual business-like modo of doing things,
thoy exhibit in thoir glass jars a large number of
specimens of i»rc«ri’er/ fruits, soino of whioh nro ol
four jonrs standing; notwithstanding which, tho fruit
prcHents a peouliar freshness, and in some cases
oven the plumpness of outline of wax imitations;
much so, indeed, that in several instances they have
actually toeli liminkch for the latter. The bread and
toko boxei ill this eblieotiem ard also attracting tho
favorable notice of (he ladies, as ftrd (heir celebrated
patent “Excelsior weather strips” the attention of nil.
Theso strips, while thoy cost but n trifle, actually ac
complish what the greatest care ir tho construction of
buildings has hover been able to achieve—air-proof and
dust-proof joints in windows and doors. They onn to
attached to all the doors in a house for a small cost, and
will mpro than pa) for themselves thrice over inn
single winter, lh the aaving of fuel- Their patont
puhips of different sizes are winning laurels, by thoir
admirable Working, aud am -admitied by alllUrlicstv
bo the best pumps in use, lor various cansidaratioos.
The display of Bryant Sc Stratton's Mercantile College,
consistin' of some eighteen elegant specimen cards of
their poninanidiip, is one of the most attractive points in
the exhibition, and Ik universally admired. With the
I’liilsdelpbrn branch of this respectable and efliejent in
stitution many of our readers aro acquainted, and if tho
community nood any additional proof of its ability to
challenge tho world ih the art of penmanship, we havo
bo hesitation in saying that their present dipptiy at
Foweltoh will dissipate all doubts from the'minds of
those who will examiue their magnificent
From our personal knowledge of this weU-estabUahotl
institution, we have no hesitation in rocomtnomling it
must heartily to the public ns tho placo. of all others, to
obtain a thorough, practicahnercailtilo education. Their
rooms in this city are located at the southeast cornor of
Beventh and Chestnut streets.
Among the sovoral articles in operation under the
sheds devoted to machinery, the “ Union Farm and
Plantation Mill,” patented, owned, and exhibited by
Messrs. Taylor & Shinn, is deservedly attracting tho
Attention of farmers and others. Its perfect operation
in the presence of crowds of witnesses yesterday, in
tbe grinding of corn and wheat, has won for this mill
golden opinions. Their present specimen is one of tho
neatest finished articles on the ground. It Is constructed
of .black walnut, and was evidently gotten up oxprossly
for tho occasion. The conveniently portable character
of this mill, its simple internal construction making it
almost proof against getting out of repair, and the ad
mirable manner in which it does its work, all combine
to make this mill the moat perfect luatrumontof tho
kind yet presented to the public. Thoir prices, with
bolting arrangements and alt completo, rango from
fifty to seventy-five dollars.
A lithograph copy of a dood, boaring the signature of
William Ponn, is exhibited ami toing sold by Mr. Wil
liam H. Weeks, of thin city, in whoso possosaum is also
the original deed. It is attracting much attention, and
is certainly quite a curiosity, •
Jirrala.—ln our nolice, yontordny, of tho nir-tight
gloss Jnrk exhibited by Messrs. Kartell Sc I.etchworth,
wo wore inadvertently made to siw that these gontlu
men were engaged in a “ genoral dnu* bimmess.” The
Drungist's Glass business was intended, in which
Messrs. H. Sc L. nro largely engaged. Tho jars referred
to we canspoakof Ironi oxporioncc—having tried th*m

A New Pocket Pistol.—Oho of tho ncniont, coin
pletcst, find most artistic Requisitions to jnckloi nftro-fti ms
js tho now “ filmrp’s llroeoh-loadnig Ilopcntim; Pocket
Pistol.” For various masons, wo nronssiiml that this
cxamsUe jneco of fiTO-nnns-smnU, but woutlorfnlly
offectivo—will obtain a wiilor sate than has ever boon at
tained hy any pocket pistol horetofnfo nnenfed. Mehnr«.
Handy k. Hrennor, N'os.itf, 25, mid 27 North Firth street,
have the solo agency for tho snlo of theso pistols,and
visitors now in tho city nttondiiiß tho Fmr should not
leave without oxnininimt them in their various styles,
ns a moro ingenious nrticlo than this ih not presented
in tho entiro collootion at Powolton. The back part of
this pistol can, by touching a sprimt, l*o moved forward
and backward on a fixed support, vN»ich forms a portion
of the stock. Each chamber is charged with a copper
cartridge, consisting of powder, ball, and cap, all con
tained in one compact little capsule, so that tho weapon
maybe instantly loaded by simply sliding forward the
barrels and inserting the cartridges. Tho Iminmor is
furnished with a rotating disc, which hus a sharp
point on one side* of it. This point penetrates tho
hole in tho shiold, and strikes and explodes tho cap
upon the head of the cartridge. Tho disc turns in tho
not of cooking, and, in making a oomplcto resolution,
the cartridge in each chamber is discharged. Thii
revolving hammor-disc forms the chid oxcolicncoof tho
invention. It is not only simple, safe, certain, undef
i'jctive in operation; hut, what is far more important,
it avoids the nocessil) of shooting past a joint in the
barrel, whioh creates a vent, ami diminishes materially
tho force of the shot. Tho whole weapon woighsonly
eight and a halfmincos, and is loss liable to get out of
repair than any more complicated firearm of tho kind.
It is powerful enough to do dovlly execution at a long
distanco. It will not miss firo; it is I tetter secured
against going oil'accidentally, amt it may be carried
very readily in the vosl pocket.

Tim mnnulTcton Is located in the Keystone Mills,
near rmrimnint, and occupies two rooms, 90 by 40 feet
oteh, on tlm second and filth floor of that bmldtns. We
visited it a few days since. The first process we wit
nessed wn9 the manufacture of tho material for the col
lar, which consists of a light muslin, such as iscoin
monjv retailed nt fmiri 6 to in cents per yard, covered
on either aide by tho finest white paper that fan bo oh
taiuoil. Tho paper is furnished in rolls of about a thou
sand yardseacji. It is united to Uie innshnby what is
lormrd a combining machine. Toe material, after hem?
rendered na smooth and well Adjusted aa possible, is
cut into strips from eight to ten feet long, and dried.
Altor lioin* thus prennrod. it is cut into tho width
inoper to cut the length of the collar to be made. Altor
Im>iux thoroughly mossed, it is passed to an ironing ma
chine. which machine combines intense heat- presMirp,
■nid friction, and most rapidly, effectually, anu bn.iuti
lull? does it do it* work, trotting 17 2d7 squaro mchcßof
aurlaeo in one minute. The next process consists in
cuitme tho material in the proper shape; and for this
purpose a very !ar*e number of knives, of tho exact
shape of tho ditlercnt styles ahd cires of collars, are
brought into requisition. When prqpor > adjusted to
tho machino in which they work, a skilful operator,
with thn assistance oi a boy. can cut 12 s<iq m an hour.
Die collars are then passed to what is called astitehifi?
machine. Tins machine dons tho imitation stitching,
and stumps the patent and size upon the collars. Two'
'iris work at each of these machines, and the? will cacli
stitch and stamp 44 collars 111 a minute, inn king 17 000
imitation stitches in a mihiitu. tvlllch for regularity and
heaut? o| finish, surpass anything wo over saw done by
a sewing machine.
The next process consists in punching into them tho
button-holes to button thorn to tho shirt, and Also for
the neck-lie adjuster, (which we will explain more fullv
hereafter.l 1 l\i*m done bv ingenious machinery, well
adapted to tho purpose. The next process consists m
folding sip'll ot tlm collars as aro ** Byronic ” or turned
down rothm. fhis ig an ingenious p^o-ess, as tho na
ture of tho material cqrisiUbtaMOjeare to pre
vent the crone made by folding tlio collars from l*e
eoii.nw too porcoptibte, and breaking tho surface. As
soon ns lidded, they are fastenod with a bocklo to what
are termed formers, which are beautiful steel-vessels,
kept hot by steam passing thyomh them. Theyatonco
yivo tho collar the required shape. The collars,
after undergoing close examination, are finally counted,
tird up in bundles of ten, then placed in lioxes of ono
hundred each, and thus finallv prepared for marker.
Tho number ol styles ol shirt collars now made by this
process is fourteen, and of each of thoso style* collars
aro made ranging from IIH inches to 17 inches in size—
mall 11 sizes ol each stylo, making ono hundred and
filt> -lour different varieties of size and stylos ami thus
ivm’ on cry last* and size an oprortunitv of entoving
the iidviintaces of the “ <i. F. K. U.” While at the fac
tor! we not only noticed a Irsr«n number of collars being
put up in the usual style for home consumption, but nlso
a number with dillerent colored lalml* whudi wo uere
.told wcio destined lor tho KiUlisli market. JJo
sidoa these collars of plain fabric, we were
shoun samples of collar* (.Unit to L« manu
factured on 11 large scale, under a now pitent
granted to tlm proprietor on thoitfth of Aprilhst. The
now article is produced by a combination o| ingeni
ous processes, and can Ih> manufactured into all style* of
ladies’ travelling and morning cuffs and collars, gentle
men's .Marseilles collars, plain and printed in colors,
children's wear, &c. At tins time five Iwautil'ul ratter 11*
of Marseilles can thus be imitated so closely that they can
scarcely l>o distinguished, with a riiagniiyuu glass from
tho orumals. and, as ciphtihed to (is, they Imc merit*
which the orwinnlsdo not possess. We were also shown
1 sample ol imitation of tne fihost linen manufactured.
Tins surpasses the original in’itsregularity and even
ness : also nn imitation of ladies’ worked culfii, which
wo examined with a magnifying gla**;even stitch, im-
POrlWtio 1 , Jco.,wrB Accurately shown. This prnooss
for obtaining accurate imitations of embroidered collars
is nn entirely dillerent process from that used in making
tho mutation Marseilles, and can las adapted to an almost
end'ess variety ol design and sty lea. In afewmonth*.
at about the commencement of the comm* year, it is
purposed to open up this branch nf tho rnafmlacture to
tho* better half” of creation 5 and thus to ort'ect as great
i change m tho use of ladies’ cunsnml collars as hart
Ircadv been rnaHe in the collars ul gentlemen. Vet
they will t>o furnished at such a price as to be within the
rceli of aM.
The nock tie adjuster, to which wo Alluded Aliovy.is
abm tho inventionol'Mr. 1> , nmt is Intended for B\ron
or tarn-down collars, and to with nearly one
half tho length of the tio. rmd at the same tune preserve
tho perfect shape, which is, al*ove all other things, the
•hitin.lushing oharActeristic of the enamelled collar.
They *\re attached to the collar, on each side by button
holes in the eollar, the adiuster being composed of a
rnelal clasp with two studs, tlie neck-tin parsing through
the clasps. This gives tho appearance of the tio going
tv, ice around the noak.
The rea«ier will naturally infer from thn great variety
and shapes of collars, and the large number mnnufic
tured, that an immense nmount oiwasto mfttori.il accu
mulates about thit establishment. t>ut it 1* all, or nearly
•ill, npphod to useful pun»ose-—llio chief object being

mil mnmibictured into tajt* m this or anv othorcoun
try.) and the cheapness witn which they are furnished,
will no doubt render the supply of tag* an important ad
junct ol tho collar busiuess. There is, besides Ibis ta<
manufaetured from waste material, a tag manufactured
of linen and paj>or. and finished m a manner readily to
absorb ink. Tnia;s guarantied to lie tho strongest tan
miuiuliicturcd, and Is sold at about tho price of ordiusry
ta^s.
Some of this waste material u made into long ami nar
row strips lor lamp-li> liters, one thousand of which are
sold in boxes, for twenty-five cents- They are admira
bly adapted for the purpose, oe. irotn the nature of the
imitorinl. they burn'or a lon «r ponod than any other

In tlio minds of some of our renders, the bare idea of
n collar not wholl, eonstnicted of linen i» somewhat
mocking to theirsensihilitios;b.jtif they will call reason
t.> th« rescuo. and consider that tlie chief material
oi which tins collar is composed is a fine blenched tnns

the North Branch Passenger Railway Company, lor an
injunction to restrain William SmaVflr. Joseph Bm?er
ly, and others, and the Philadelphia City Railway Corn*
pany. from interfering with or to »ny wise preventing
the cotnp'amanfs from constructing and laying, under
the direction of the engineer of tho city, proper and
suitaMd connections between tka track of the com
plainants and (hat of the Philadelphia City Passenger
Railway Comptnv. at Fifteenth and Walnut streets
and Sixteenth and Chestnut /‘t?ec*v; and from anywise
removing or interfering therewith wneil laid.
. The North Branch Passenger Railway Company was
incorporated April Will. 1.053. It was authorized to eon*

Under the clauses just referred to. the Philadelphia
City Passenger Railway deny tho ruht of tho North
