Mr.’ BBrNSEtt hns resided In this city, for, more .than, twenty years, and, during this long. period, has occupied ,iho high est position in business and commercial circles. -He . has, never held an office jof profit. • Ho, was horn in the city of Ban. castor,; and grew up, nntil his Vemoval to Philadelphia, at’the sido of Mr. Buchanan— whoso devoted arid unselfish friend he has alwaysbeen. When he became a citizen of, he carried with him hjs warm regard for Mr. Buchanan. And 1 when the latter was unquestionably tho most unpopular man in. this part of the State, Hr. Bbennbß, aided by such men as the lamented Georoe TV. Barton, Col.Geoboe H. Martin, Gi deon G. Westoott, Jakes _f). Vandyke, apd a ftw /others, - began to organize for Mr, Buchanan t and,.> after long years of trlbn. latton, amid the sneors and Jeers of snch men ! aa‘ the present-surveyor of the port, Mr, Hakimon, Henry M. Phillips, and Mr. Witte, succeeded in making a party which , ended, in nominating him at tho Cincinnati Convention, In 1856. At that Convention Mr. BbesnCb was a delegate from.his Congressional district, and was elect ed as such with the cordial aid of the friends of General Pieboe in this city.’ His efforts for his friend will long bo remembered by those who were preserit at Cincinnati, and during the canvass previous to tho November olectlbn'no man was more active and serviceable. After Mr. Buchanan’s inauguration, tho first person lie cousnlted as to tho distribution of his appointments was Mr. Brenner. He offered him the important position of collector of the port, which Mr. Brenner declined. After this, no gentleman was selected for any leading office In this city who did not first moet the approbation of Mr. Brenner. Mr. Hamil ion, the surveyor of the port, was the creature of Mr. Brenner — he created him surveyor. Colonel Snowden, the director of the Mint, then antagonised by Pntiurs, Tyeer, Witte, mid others, was retained through the influence of Hr. Brenner ; and Mr. Badger, tho navy agent, received office in the same manner.' ~ When Mr., Buchanan. determined to break faith with-his party .on the Kansas question, Mr. Brenner adhered to him. The relations between this gentleman and the editor of this journal had, from boyhood, been those of the warmest friendship. *We had labored together in the ranks of"the Democratic party for Mr. Buchanan, and had stood shoulder to shoulder in every contest for principle i but when wo conceived it to.be our duty to differ from tho President, we ■ soon realised that among those whose support wo had lost was our old and well-tried friend, Mr. Brenner. From that day to this there has been no intercourse between us) nor do we Speak of him now in any other light than as a particular friend of the Pros!- dontj which'ho has always avowed himself to be. Knowing tho man as we did, we were sur prised that he should submit so patiently to the tyrannies and proscriptions of tho Adminis tration. He may be said to be the very last of thejold friend* of Mr. Buchanan who has not taken ground against his proscriptive policy. ' When flie oonteit for delegates to Harris burg opened, Mr. Brenner soon discovered that, notwithstanding his supposed intimate relationa with the President, he was a marked man by the exponents of Mr. Buchanan's Ad ministration in this city. It appears that, like thousands of others, he had protested against a number of the acts of these officials, had ox postulatcd wlth tile. President himself against their, insolence ' and arrogance, and had fre quently declared that, unless they were arrested itt-their. career, the , destruction of the Demo cratic party was inevitable. His friends de sired'bis presence at Harrisburg because they bad confidence in his integrity g and many of thebpponentsof the Administration support ed him in the face’of his known personal at tachment to tho President." But lie was not to .be, forgiven for.! uttering his opinions against the , officials; and the. eifap°«U nary spectacle was presented, prior to, and on the day of the election, of the very men whom he'hod put, and kept in office, rallying their adherents and friends to accomplish his defeat.* r ln Order to do 'this, they indnoeda person heretofore known in the Second Sena torial district as among the most' offensive and abusive opponents of the President, to becomo a candidate for delegate against Mr. Brenner, the old friend of Hr. Boouanak —a man bom in his own 'aity, who bad stood by his fortunos In the‘dark hoary whose whole family, inclu ding 'hik father, his brothers, his brother-in laws, andall his connoxions, had, without an exception, been among the most effective and generous supporters,of tho President; who had refused every offer of place tendered by. his friend, the President, and who had been hiß disinterested' apologist and ' advocate, even when hnndreds of others refused to fol low the standard of the Administration. This man was struck down by the Federal office, holders in this city under the lead of a col lector horn in the same county with himself, to make way for one who has always been, and is. to-day, the notorious enemy of Mr. Bucha nan, and of his measures. > We need not commend this cose to the con sideration of the Democracy of Lancaster county, where Mr. Brenner and his family are-so universally respected, and where his friends and relatives are to be fonnd in groat numbers. The disinterested observer of this . event will hardly believe that tho defeat of Mr. Brenner was not accomplished with the full consent of the President. It is in such exqui site harmony with the. manner in which the President has. treated the men who carried him to the place he now occupies, that it is impassible to resist the conclusion, that, while his Officials hero used the dagger upon our well known fellow-citizen, that amiable Instrument was sent to. them from Washington, with tho compliments of tho Executive. Mr. Buchanan will, no doubt, indulge in his usual cheap ex pressions of regret at tho defeat of his favorite and friendi bqt he will not remove tho sur veyor and the collector. He will receive them in his library, alter having delighted Mr. Bbbn nxb’s friends with declarations of indignation at his defeat in tho pnblic reception room. With tears upon his ihee for the defeat of Brenner, ho will hng tho faithful oxecutionors of Brunner to his ardent and sympathetic bo som. Pointing a Moral. ' The result of the elections in New Jersey, New York/Massachusetts, Michigan, and Wis consin, may be regarded as among the last fruits, of ■ Mr. .Boohakak’b policy. He has tried his hand In evory ono of these Slatos re spectively. ' He, insulted the Democracy of New Joney by the manner in whloh he treated such men ns Col. J. W. Wall, E. V.

European'Politics.. . , The. intelligence from Europi, by the steam ship North American, which lefVLiverpool on the 26th ult., Is highly important. The conditions of tho Treaty of Zurich are qwrpublishedj and It would, appear that the French and Austrian Emperors'have loyally agreed to carry out the provisions of the hastily-arranged settlement made at Villa Franca. Lombardy is transferred to the King of Sardinia. On tho question of Refarm in | tho government of tho Papal territories, the Zurich Treaty is unexpectedly very decisive. Austria and France are to impress upon tho Pope tho urgent necessity of his effecting a re form in tho administration of the States of the Church. This, coupled with Napoleon's recent question at Bordeaux (what would be come of the Pope if tho foreign protective force were withdrawn;) has unusual signifi cance. Either tho Popo must mako tho charges which tho exigency of tho case im peratively demands, or he will probably bo unsupported, any longor, by his hitherto staunch allies, and may soon bo loft without any temporalities at all. Franco promises, by this Treaty, to endeavor to carry out the origi nal promise, rashly given at Villa Franca, of restoring the Grand-Dukes of Tuscany, Par ma, and Modena. But tho London Times pointedly draws attention to the fact that Na poleon’s Government has distinctly declared, before Enropo, that Franco will not enforce, nor permit Austria to enforce, the return of tho lhgitive governing, therefore, if these mis-governors of'AH Duchies get back, it must be by other bayonets than thoso of Aus tria and Franco, or by tho favor of their lalo subjects—which is about the most improbable thing in tho game. The rumors about a coolness or coming quarrel between France and England appear groundless. Tho two countries are about uniting their forces to lory war into the heart of China. France, it is Baid, will send eigh teen thousand soldiers, and England’s com plement will probably raise lhA invading army to tho strength of forty thousand. It seems well understood in Europe that China must be taught a lesson, and indeed tho national honor of France and England may bo said to be in a manner involved. France, which is a great military nation, will probably not object to the recommencement of hostilities, though China is a remote theatre of action, and England, if any advantages be gained, will have tho lion’s share of them. Tho policy of Lord Palmebston is not pa- cillc. He is understood to desire that war be carried into China upon a largo scale, and as the Qncen has the power of commencing war without first obtaining the sanction of Parlia ment, it is likely enough that a large expedi tion will be sent of! before February, at which time the Legislature will meet. It-will be too late, then, to.undo what has been done, so that John Bull, grumbling all the time, will have to provide the means of carrying on the war to a successful issue. This war question may load to a cliango in the Ministry, or rather, to the ejection of Pal- MEHSTON. The Cabinet are said to be divided in opinion on the prudence of going into a dis tant and costly war. Milnex Girson, who represents the Manchester Peace-feeling, Is against Palmekstox, as (we are told) are Bus sell and two other Ministers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who wants to keep down expenses, is decidedly pacific. Now, War cannot bo “an open question,” as it is callod, in any Cabinet. While Lord Liverpool was Prime Minisfor, from 1812 to 1827, Catholic Emancipation was an open question in his Cabinet—that is, Peel and Wellington voted and spoke against the Ca tholic Claimß, while Canxinq strongly advo cated them. But War is essentially a question on which a Cabinet cannot hold distracting and conflicting opinions. If the Prime Minis ter be set upon a war with China, tho mem bers of his Government must go with him, or go out, or drive him out. It may happen that, even while the war with China is raging, the Tories and the Peace party, condemning Pal kebbtox’b policy, may break- up the Ministry, restore the Derbyltes to power, and still liavo the war proceeded with, from a feeling that, once entered into it, England must go on, until tho object for which arms have been resorted to is gained. England wishes to keep out of the storm which evidently is gathering in Continental Europe. No one seems to know what the in tentions of Bussia may be. The Czar, no doubt, will Carry out his family and national policy of helping himself to a slice of wbat- -avsrv. -moßt -aonvorrfcxit.'"' |md -a grudge against Austria, and may or may hot be satisfied with having helped by his b mas terly inactivity,” to humble that Power jq the Italian War. He may desire to flett'lo his little account with Prance, and the' interview which is about to take place between him and tho Prince-Regent of Prussia may lead fo a now disposition of power in Germany. So resolved Is England to avoid involvement, that Lord John Russell has publicly declared that England will not he a party In the coining Europoan Congress, unless she ho assured that the Italian Duchies shall have full power to choose their own rulers. HF'Mrs. Batehas, the distinguished au thoress of «Geraldine,” which has been enacted at tho Walnut-street Theatre with such marked success for the laßt threo weokfl, has accepted the proffer of a complimentary benefit on the part of a number of our promi nent citizens, which is to come off on Monday evening next, at that establishment, However the opinions' of tho press and critics may have differed in regard to « Geraldine,” ail have agreed that it Is a production of uncom mon merit. Mrs. Batbmax Is expected to arrive in this city on Monday next. The Schiller Jubilee. It is scarcely necessary to remind our city readers that the celebration of Schiller's hundredth anniversary takes place this day —not hero alono, hut in many places in this vast Union j above all, in his native land, where, lu eyery city, town, and hamlet, tho memory of the tyuo poet of Germany is held in continuous and increasing esteem? Why is this ? Because “He kept Thewhitenesa of hlssoul, and bo Men o’er him wept.” John Jay Smitlu Somo years ago, Mr. John Joy Smith, long known and widely appreciated as the accomplished and amiable Gustos of the Philadelphian and Lo ganian Libraries, published a Volume of “ Ameri can Historical and Literary Curiosities,” of wbiob five editions have appeared. It has long been out of print and will soarooly be reproduced. Though published only eleven years ago, this volume com mands donbleits original price. Mr. Smlthvhas made a second Series, complete In Itself, whloh will be issued by Mr. Richardson, publisher of the Historical Magazine, New York. Only a limited number will be issued to subscribers, and this will be yet more restricted—* for some time, at least—by an accidont which has Injured several hundred Impressions of a few of the plates. Tho stones from whloh these have been printed are happily intaot. - There are numerous mementoes of the Revolu tion in this volume, of a highly interesting obar aotcr, including the original profile of Washing ton, taken by lamplight by Mitfor Powell; Mrs. Sbarplcss’s miniatures of Hamilton and Washing ton; letters from Washington and his wife; draw ings and letters by Msjor Andrb; Certificate of tho order of the Cincinnati, signed by Washington and Knox, with a view of the Insignia; Journal of Miss Sally Wister, during the Rovolation; Let* ter from John Hancock; broadsides and posters of the British and the Revolutionists, and so on. Also, portraits of West, tho painter, Lindley Mur* ray, and William Oobbett. Thero are numerous other curiosities, of various dates, but scarooly any more remarkable than the Illustration* of Colum bus and his voyages from Do 33 17, and otbor works obtained at Milan and Monaoo. We write athap-hatard, from a mere cursory examination of the book at Mr. Smith’s, but whatever wo onn say does not over estimate its in terest and value.

Trade Movements. From onr representative houses engaged in various branches'of ■ the jobbing trade, on Market street tind other business avenues, we learn that {he operations of tho season now closing, although not so heavy as expected by some, have boon.very satisfactory. The fears entertained a few months ago of excessive im portations have boon, to some extent, realized, though this has affected tho Importing rather than tho jobbing Interests, and In not a few I Instances the consignors on the other sldo have boon tho heaviest losers. Tho reactionary ef fect of this cannot be other than salutary. Our private advices frohi abroad bespeak greater prudence for (he spring, which, with the fact that the fears entertained this season caused tho country to buy cautiously and sparingly,' will induce an extra demand for goods, and tho consequence will doubtless bo a more active spring trado than we liavo had for yoars. Tho most enterprising and sagacious of our mercantile firms aro already moving with commendable spirit in anticipation of this. The slgnß of avigorous and hoallhflil improve ment in business circles aro in fact overywhoro apparent. An unusual number of our busi ness firms have now their representatives abroad for the purpose of making their own importations direct to this market. Tho completion of tho “ Continental,” which, in its colossal proportions, is already tlie wonder and admiration of tho community, 1 will bo a proud monument to tho energy and liberality o( our merchants; and tho advan tages which must result to our fair city when it is thrown open to tho public—as it will ho In February—can hardly bo over-eßtimated. Already its prospecllvo tcndenciea are to In troduce wholesale jobbing warehouses on Chestnut street. We have just been informed that Dr. Jayne’s immense hall lias been leased by a long-established and enterprising firm, ongaged in tho cloth and general men’s-weaf department, on Market street, (Messrs. De- COUBBET, Lafoorcade, & C 0.,) for a sales room, and that operations aro to be com menced in it at onco by tho architect, Mr. J. [MoAetuur, Jr., to fit it up for their Ingress on tho first ot January. Wo rogard this as a telling card for the growing trado of Philadel phia. A salesroom of some eighty by one hundred and fitly feet, and about sixty feet ceiling, will be a new featilro In the mercantile world, as wo believo there is no single show room on either side of tho Atlantic of eqnal dimensions. 1 Wo doubt not this announcement will crento general surprise; and that our largest public halls should thus fall a prey to the legi timate expansion of our mercantile wants is a fact of 110 ordinary significance. It is understbod also that Dr. Javnb intends, at an early day, to erect a row of magnificent store houses on his Arcado property. The honso of Messrs. Jakes R. Campbell k Co., also long and favorably known, on Mar- ket street,has likewise made arrangements soon to locate in a large business edifice on Chest nut street, within two squares of the “ Conti- nental.” With tho natural advantages which Philadel phia has over her rivals for doing an tarty spring trado, and tho indications of now life hero referred to, we think our merchants are presented with a clear track for a splendid triumph. Keep the hall in motion, gentlemen, and instead of wasting time and paper in dis cussing whether the Hani>all steamers should be made of wood or iron, let us toko advantage of tho impetus our commerco is now receiv ing, and go to work and build them. A Specimen, As an evidence of the manner in which the Ad ministration has dorided publto sentiment In this vieiaity, a singlo fact may be stated: In the Se cond Representative dUtrlot in this flity, tho friends of Jndgo Dorni.is united upon two gen tlemen as candidates for delegato to tho Harris burg Convention upon the distinct understanding that tho ono having the smallest number of ivotes In the district convention should withdraw In favor of tho other having the largest. This dls trlotisthatinwhlohDr. Qaonax IV. Nebinobr end Euwabd 0. Webb, Esq., both reside; and in which both have oonduotod the battle in favor ef the great principle of popular sovereignty, without compromise, and without concession, having nevor wavered for a moment, and even whllenppealed to on all sides, have gone before tho people with this great truth in tliolr hands, and have become irresistible In their neighborhood. If there lain this oily a district where the principles of Judge I Dooulss have lodged, it Is in the Smond Repre. sentatlvo district. The Administration party has always been, In that dUtrlot, almost beneath con tempt ; and yet the Administration Induced a highly respootablc cltiron, Mr. Tuomas Daly, to m j flßißfttß *S> I burg, in the belief that beeauee he was liked in the dlstriot, he would ooneent to cheat and to Insult the publto sentiment. The friends of Judge Douglas nominated Dr. E. 0. KAuxitLr (an original “ re bel") and William Lauoulix, as their candidates. The result, as shown in tho organisation of the Convention, was that Dale had eight precinct delegates, Kauerlv eight, and Lauciiux sli, thus showing an emphatic majority against the Administration. After seventy-seven ballots, tho friends of Mr. lAdohliw—with bolted to Mr. Daly, and oieoted him. who gallant Democrats who stood by Dr. Kinsult In this battle wore true to tho peoplo who eleoted them { I they were true to tho principles thoy represented, | and true to the man, who, If he bad been ohosen, would have gone to narrlsburg, and oontendod to I the last for tho old-fashioned faith of the Demo cratic party. Mr. Dalt has lived long in tho dis ] trlct which ho Is about to represent in tho Harris burg Convention. We will see whether he Is wit f ling to boaome tho oreature of an official oligarchy, which, If it existed ip praqoe, might be tolerated as the slave of tho Emperor, fcqt vljich, In this country, is simply useful as showing that tmpp: times a minor! ty oan control a majority, and (hat 1 the lattor will submit to tho outrego. Paul Morphy and the Mt- Vernon Faud. Mr. Morphy has oouiontpj to give an exhibition of his skill in the gamo of Chess, for tho benefit of the Mt.

This, we bellove, is the first time bo has over played for any public objeot, but ho has cheerfully acceded to the solicitation of personal friends, who warmly eipouso tho cause of Mt. Vernon.

Letter from “Occasional.* 1 fCorr«BFondenoti of The Press.J WAsniKtiTdN, Nov, 9, 1869 / Tijo Administration plan of taking possession of the Charleston Convention is being developed in all its proportions. The violenoe and fraud which prevailed at your primary elections, are only pa* ralleled by the violenoe and fraud whioh disgraced the city of Baltimore a few days ago. Orders from Washington were sent forward, instructing your officeholders that tho delegates from Philadelphia to tho State Convention wore to bo socurod at all hazards. No office-holder was permitted to bo neutral—the humblest day-laborer was command ed* not only to voto the Administration ticket, but to work for it, failing in whloh he was to be sura* ( marlly discharged. Money was direoted to tyo freely expended. And you have tho result before you. P?om this foretaste you may anticipate bow you are to be treated at Harrisburg, and then how ( the Demooratio leniimeniof tho free States is to be represented at Charleston. Nobody doubts, ! in this vicinity, that If tho Demooratio people of Philadelphia could have voted at your delegate elections, there would not have boon an Adminis tration delegate ohosen in a single preoinot in your great oity. Does anybody suppose for a reorient that nominations efiootod by such men wilt be ratified at tho polls? Thousands who voted yoor State tlckot last October find thoinselves utterly disfranchised in tho arrangements preparatory to tho nominations next year. Thoae who work under Administration orders do not work to make these nominations successful, but to secure their places for tholittle year and five months which remain to Mr. Buchanan's rule. What is tbo remedy for this stato of things? Cortainly not submission, because you haro already been taught that acquiescence is not only disgrace, but disfran chisement. Meetings should be c&Hed by tho Democracy of Pennsylvania in every county to re sist the ganio now boldly disclosod, and to lay dowu the principles now dollberatoly sacrificed. I porcetve that Mr. Tyler has been tho leading spirit In most of the disturbances which took placo in Philadelphia, after your Monday election. Ills presence in tho different distriot conventions, and his advlco that tho office holders should revolt where they were in tho minority, only show what it is intended to do at your Stato Convention. Robert ' Tyler, tho advocate of tho slave oodo in the Terri tories, the loader of the Democracy of old Pennsyl vania! A precisely similar stato of things exists in California, where tho money and tho men of tho Administration are organized against tho poople. Such, too, Is the influence that controls and crushes tho Demooracy of Massachusetts, and puoh, you will remember, was the clement that struck bonds with the Opposition in Illinois, in order to defeat Mr. Douglas forUnlted States Senator. Tho fraud and force that began thoir reign in Kansas after Mr. Buchanan bad determined to break bis solemn pledge that the people should have a fair election, -S*e to be again invoked in all tho States of tho Union fu which public sentiment is arrayed against him; and Pennsylvania, from the Delawaro to Lake Erie, will bo converted Into a Rtago upon which the most disgraceful scenes aro to be ennoted. You havo only to wait patiently for the issue. The elootlon of a Demooratio Legislature in Maryland is hailed with great satisfaction by all the lovors of good government. If that body will now proceed to pass such an election law as will divide the different wards into small election dis tricts, and reorganize the police foroe of Baltimore after the Now York fashion, putting it in charge of commissioners, there will be fair pl*y, and no blood shed, hereafter. This is the truo and tho only peaceful remedy left. So many reasons oonspiro to mike it aoceptablo to the people of Baltimoro— reasons affecting thoir interests, their property, and their lives—that it is to be hopod that the Governor, although belonging to the American party, will cordially assist tho Legislature In de livering them from the fiends and ruffians who have prayed upon their fair fame during the last four years. It roally appears as If It «u Intended to bring Gerrit Smith, and other leading Abolitionists, be fore the Federal courts of Virginia on a requisition upon the Governors of New York, Ohio, and other States 1 The list inoludos such men as Professor Silliraan. Ward Beoohor, Joshua It. Giddings, Wen dell Phillips, Wu. Lloyd Garrison, and probably some from yonr own Stato. I would not be at all surprised it the most of those personages volun teered to accept tho Invitation to the hospitalities of the “Old Dominion.” Thoyoourt notoriety, if not martyrdom, and if Gorrlt Smith, Phillips, ; and Giddingf. by taking quarters in & Virginia prison, could assist in inflaming the Northern mind more than It Is now inflamed, they would gladly do so. It Is a mistake to believe that all these ex treme men aro cowards. Bomo of the brarost, bold, est, and most heroic men in history wore just such fanatics,and an example like John Brown is calcu lated to awakon a spirit of rivalry. Ido not think tho experiment of calling them to Virginia for trial would pay. and I hope Governor Wiso anti his friends will pauso before they embark in it Tholatdy-elcoted Republican Governor of Ohio for* marly declared that he nerer would surrender a fu gitive slave, and Governor Morgan, of New York, is known to bo the immediate representative of Mr. Soward. It would be a most agreeable task for these Executives to Interpose to prevent the arrest of Motire. Smith and Giddlngs. Governor Banks, of Massaefeusett#, would doubtless protoot Phillips and th.e.caqldron would bo kept con* stantly boiling until tho day of the Presidential election. 'Occasional.

Horse, Esq,” Tsotti.vo at Point Hrekzi; Park.— Patrheu, Proton DicX t and Isnicrt — Heats, be<l 'ihrte in Five. —Tho beat-conteatcd and most ex citing trot of the scasop took place last evening at Point Breeze, between tho horses Patchon, Brown Dick, and Lancet. Not having arrived on the track in time for tno first two bents, we shall hare to give only a yummary of tho proceedings. Patcbcn won the first two heats, being closely pushed by Brown Dick, who won the third. Lan cet, while driven by Woodruff, behaved very bauly, making terrlblo bad breaks, and pulling liko a steam-engine. After tho second hunt, he was taken in hand tv Mr. Ldughlin, and behaved somowhat bettor under his guidance. Thu fourth heat, won by Lancet by a bond on the very post, was perhaps tho most exciting heat ever seen on this tract, tho horses being closedv lapped from the word go, and keening together all round without tho advantage of a length to either, coming down tho homo strotqh with such a tremendous burst of speed ns took Lancet fairly off his legs, but ho was caught a in the moat masterly manner by Mr. Loughho, when nil thought his chnnces wore gone and landed a winner of tho heat by a head. It being thou too late to finish the trot, it was post poned until this afternoon, at throe o’olock. Thero was a very largo attendance—perhaps two thou, sand people, and quite a number of ladies. Tho following in a summary: D. Tallman named Patchen, 1.1, 0,0; Pfeifer named Brown Dick, U, 9,1, 0; W, Woulrnff named Lancet, 0, 0. 0, 1.

She very soon , rs ,“ lf good opinions of Mr. Bancroft WM deemed faithful, kind, 1 although subsequent rovela l’r“T r ,; l hcr “he a girl 0 f extrwrdinary onn- Bin* and depravity. About the time she became nl ‘hefamily mtau.,l several articles of value, and discovered traces of wanton mischief ° f h T'\ Silk frocka of Mrs. Bancroft, and soveral valuable articles of wearing apparel belonging to her husband, were found ta bavo been cut by aolwors or otherwise irreparably injured. * ' The good opinion entertained by the family of the domestic turned the ourrent of their suspicions I from her. By a characteristic exhibition of eun nisg she managed to fasten all the blame os * lit j tie aon of Mr. Bancroft, named John, not more than four years of age. In consequence of these charges little Johnny was subjected to repeated und severe punishment*, and was at times confined in a room, tied to a bed-post with a rope. ’ After denying the allegations of his parents, time and again, tno son, with a hopo of escaping punish ment, was induced to confess thecharges made by tin servant girl. I This Math of things continued for some two or tbreo weeks, when on last Tuesday afternoon the house oF Mr. Bancroft was discovered to be on i fire. The flames originated in a lot of clothing I that had been stowed away in a closet, and were 1 discovorod hy the German girl. She gave the alarm to Mr. Bancroft at his office, on Girard avenue, saying at the time that littlo Johnny had Jdoueft. While she was gone, another fire brake I out, which, with tho other, was easily extinguished, A half hour afterwards a third firo was discovered lin a closet, and before these flames had Been I quenched, twq other fires, of a similar character, wore discovered in various parts of the bouse, making no less than five fires within two hours All these fires were discovered by the servant, and charged on little Johnny. During the excitement consequent upon extin guishing these fires, & friend of the family, named I John W. Boiloau, entered. After assisting to drown the flames and examining the premises, he became convinced that Johnny was innocent and 1 that tbe girl was the culpable party. Htf succeeded l in convincing the parents of Johnny that bissos- I picioris were correct, and charged the girl with the commission of the crime. She made a par- I tial acknowledgment of hor guilt, and the cir cumstances were reported to Fire Marshal Btack hurn. She was arrested by Constable Johnson, i 1 and underwent a most searching and severe exami nation at tho hands of the fire marshal, who eame to the conclusion arrived at by Mr. Boileaa. On , 1 being taken to the alderman’s office, she made a full confession to the marshal, and was committed ; to answer the charge. In this confession sbo ad f milted herself to bo the author of all the mischief for which poor Johnny had been pnnlshed. • After the heariog, tbe girl was taken to Dr. f Haynes, the phrenologist, who made an examina* j tion of hor head. Tho result of this examination, as reported to us, exemplified in a strong way the teachings of the science of phrenology. ITie mo rel faculties were diminished, while tbe sensual strongly predominated. Tbe organs of acquisitive ness, sccretivoocas, destructiveness, and the sen sual organs, were very largely developed, while veneration and benovolenco were almost entirely obliterated. This case, In all its singular and ex traordinary features, exhibits an instanco of a monomania to commit crime, and a total want of moral force, rarely equalled in the annals of cri ; mlnal jurisprudence. j Me. Morpiiy At Tns Academy op Music.— I The arrangements fbrMr. Morphy’s wonderful feat of playing four games simultaneously, blindfolded, I nt tho Academy of Music, on Friday night, have | been completed. The players to contend against Mr. Morphy /Dr. Lewis, and Messrs. Tilghman, Thomas,' and Smyth) are among the leading play ers in the Athenreum. Mr. Lewis Elkin, has con sented, at Mr. Morphy’s request, to act as umpire. Tho proceeds of thfa display go towards the Mount I Vernon Fund. Mr. Morphy could play eight games j wi»h tho case of four, but the tlmo will not permit. The term “ blindfold,” we may say, is entirely ] figuVativo, as our readers are doubtless aware. Mr. .Morphy sits with his baok to the boards, which will J be ereoted on a temporary stage in view of the whole audience, depending on his umpire for tho j moves of the opposite players. This wonderful feat j of skill will bo sure to attract a large audience. Wife-Bcating.—Wm. McLcrdy was sent to Erison yesterday on tho charge of brutally beating is wife while he whs in a state of intoxication. Mr. McLerdy is one of a numerous class whom we encounter every morning in the police reports— whoso only moans of support are in the labors of their wives—and who are of no earthly use to them selves, their families, or society, in Mr. McLerdy’s case the entire support of his family devolved on his wife. The only recompense he awarded her for I her self-denial and suffering was a life of unex- I ampled insult, neglect, and craolty. We are glad to know that he was summarily dealt with, and we hope every imitator of him may be similarly pun ished.

BURNING Ol* THE GR US ELEVATOR OP THE NEW TOIIK CENTRAL UAM.ROII)—FURTIIER DETAILS— S4OO,OOO OP IMIOPJSRTV DESTROYED. (I rom the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday.] Last sight, at about 11 o'clock, a moat destructive fire broke out in the large grain elevator and ware house attached to tho New York Central Railroad depot on Ohio street, and the docks, in this city, which entirely destroyed tho buildings, and ft very large quantity cf gram which was stored therein. The buildipgs burnt belonged to tho Central Hail road. Their large depot adjoining the property was not materially injured. The eat| ra in the buildings is quite large—perhaps amounting to $OO,OOO. The amount of grain stored in the buildings de stroyed is about ns follows : Wheat, 137,500 bushels; ooru, 24,000 do; oats, 50,000 do; bar ley, 17,000 do.; rye, 1,500. The actual amount will not, wo think, vaiy 5,000 bushels of all aorta from this Rtateraouf. The value of this grain, at present prices, would not be far from $185,000. The amount of Insurance effected upon the grain wo have not been able to ascertain exactly, as it ww insured in about eleven different companies and part in agencies out of the olty. Tho amount not tawed, we pave reason to believe, will not exceed $20,000. The whole amount of loss, in buildings, grain, and other property, will amount to, perhaps, the sum of $350,000. There was other produoe, besides grain, stored in tho burnt buildings, but tho greater part, if not the whole, was removed before being damaged. The loss on this kind of property, therefore, will probably ho but small. Nothing is known of the origin of the fire, and it was probably under way for some time before the alarm was given. The firemen were very promptly on the ground, but ihe flames had made such headway that it was impossible to arrest the fire in the buildings which were destroyed, and tho main result of thrir labor was to snvo other buildings. The steam fire engine did not mako its appearanoe at all. Why, wc cannot say. Per haps its prcconce tn our city wasforgotten. AH that remains of the elevator and other buildings a*tacht<l are tho brick walls. These are very solidly built, and withstood well the pressure of tho grain stored in them, and the crash of the falling timbers; but whether they will answer to be rebuilt upon no havo not learned. Lest any apprehension should be felt that the destruction of this elevator will Interfere with the storing of grain hero, we would briefly say that the storage capacity of our remaining ele vators Is yet about 1,530,000 bushels, and that, therefore, no fear need be entertained’anywhere ns to any lack of storages for graio'iu our city, not wiihsmuJii/g the large quantirfes daily arriving at our port.

About eighty thousand bales had been received at Eastern cities end manufao turing towns, which had not been shipped fnm Southern ports. This novel and interesting fea ture will be worth attention. The increased re ceipts by inland route will assume a larger propor tion, the present year, for the following reason: “ The completion of the Ohio and Mobile Rail road wiU make the plantations of parts of Alabe- Vi. 4 .’ and Tennessee praetieaßy near ihe Illinois Centra] Railroad and ata eooaeetid&s to wards Uie Eest. The recent completion of the road from Louisville to Nashville, bringing the fine wheat, corn, and cotton regions or Tennessee in direct intercourse with the railroads running north from the Ohio river to the lakes, will avail to change the course of products to a new channel. By opening a map of the United States, one caa readily see the advantages and facilities afTocded by these new avenues for Eastern markets. Many hundreds of miles wiU be saved in land or water transport towards porta on the Atlantia or Gulf, and tbe long and (from the Gulf of Mexico) cir cuitous route north will be avoided, and fire and marine insurance become unnecessary. ‘•The resalting advantages in time and distasoo will more than compensate for freight tariffs on water routes, which may be slightly lower than rail' charges. “These changes will have a most important bearing upon the revenues of some of our Western r r a v/ wore constructed without anticipation of this traffic. Cotton, consigned to factories in ventral New York, hat for some weeks been pass ing over the Illinois Central, and Michigan Central Railroads; ami manufactarara .further Eaal.ara wing this new channel for receiving their raw ma terial. Several factories near Portland, have recently made arrangements with the G rand Trunk, tCanada), Mkbigaa Central, and lUtooit Csftral Roads, to receive and deliver their cotton.' Six thoasisd bales have already been received at Qairo, destined for towns east of Boston.” The following is the Pittsburg bank statement for the week preceding November 7: u . t. a V s o , »» v.
