A report prevailed last night in Washington,
that Senator Douglas* health had not only not im
proved, but that he was dangorously ill., We hope
the report i 8 exaggerated. .
, Wo give foreign news by two arrivals—the Asia,
at Now York, and the. Hungarian, at Portland.
Tho Groat Eastern remains about as by,last ac
counts, except that Mr. ,Scott RussoU has been dis
charged from Ms position, as engineer. Several
American .vessels ..wore wrecked daring the late
gales.on the English coast, and many lives wero
lo Ao,account of a’singular death, Involving a pre
sumptive homicide, is narrated in our looal things.
It teaches one thing most emphatically, and that
is, 1 the utter folly of having a law against groggy
ries being open on Sunday, when suoh a law Is a
dead letter. A little vigilance on the part of the
ofeoijM would have prevented this sad occurrence.
It is said to be almost certain that Brownsville,
Texas, lias fallen into the possession of Cortinas,
the Mexican outlaw,.and that he is cordially sus
tained by the Mexican population of that region,
•whp cherish a design of reconquering the oountry
to the Colorado. This is no doubt an exaggeration
of .the purposes of the Mexicans, but the exposed
state’ of our Texas frontier is disgraceful to the
country.

The health of Judge Douglas has greatly impro
ved, and his early recovery is anticipated.
The trial of Cook was concluded on tho oth test.
Tho'verdict,was.not guilty of treason, but guilty of
tho'.remaining counts—for conspiring with slaves
to. rebel, and. murder. The correspondent of the
New York Tribunetstja : “The arrangement un
doubtedly was "to got rid of the count for treason,
whioh' Gov. Wiso, could not ovorsot, and to take a
conviction., for conspiracy, and murder, which it is
thought he can and will pardon. To this end, tho
prosecution allowed tho witnesses called in Cook’s
favor to testify with great latitude, and evon ad
mitted an nrticlo from the New York Times to be
read in evldenbe, showing the romance of Cook’s
nature; andn. how easily he was led away. Har
ding, w who.was at least able to soe that something
was .wrong, and who was not in the seoret, objected
to the reception of suoh testimony at the top of his
voice, .but while stooping to piok up a large and
valuable doposit of tobacco which had unfortunate
ly dropped out of Ms mouth, ho wasintorrupted by
Mr. Boris, who proceeded, at a wave of Mr. Hun
ter’s hand, and got the start of poor Harding. No
management oy eloquence, however, could induce
the jury to do anything but what they had already
decided upon; and so Cook stands convicted in the
same*, manner as all the others, with an additional
eount in the Indiotment which the others had not.”

The shjp'Augustus, from Bordeaux, which arri-
ved at New York on Saturday, reports having fallen
in, at sea, with the ship Josephns, of Boston, is
distress. After, some difficulty, owing to the bad
weather, several of the hands sneeeeded In getting
on hoard, the Augustus, when one of them, Mr.
mate, gave the following report:
“ The ship was leaking over one foot per hour :
had lost foresail, mainsail, all three topsails, and
fore topmast staysail In the lata gales, and had no
others also, had lost a seaman overboard two
nights pterions from fore topsail yard, daring the
giUe; another had died with fovor and ague and
exposures and fire others were so enfeebled with it
that they could scarcely move, and tho few re
maining ones, with captain and officers, were so
constantly at the pnmps they were almost ex
hausted!: Wanted sails and help, more especially
desired advioe as what was best for them (In their
cripplod condition) to- do. Sappliod them with a
foresail, (the only heavy sail we had to fit their
ship or to spare, haring lost and split sevoral of
ear own selub lately,) and advised him to abandon
nil-further attempt to get to the westward agatnat
fouror fireclays. They returned to their ship, and
at 11-A. M. saw her ateering back to Fayal with
a nice SW breese; let. 41.30, long. 39, Oot. 20.
Oct. ,19, lot. 42.30, long. 39, continues with heavy
gales, which had prevailed for past six days. At
10 P, M., the ship was laid undcrbare spars, wind
SW, thick and rainy, with heavy squall, At 12.30
A. M. barometer 28.07, and shortly after suddenly
fell to 28.04, end blew terrifically, and, the waves
became greatly agitated, and rapidly inoreaatd. At
the same moment wo discovered we wore in the
direot pathway of and near to thefoens of the gale;
aitd-also a brilliant snow-white somi-cirole ap
peared, apparently one mile distant, and abont 1J
of a milo across the base, with several vory bright
and oleorly defined broad streaks of base, reaching
from onlsidopoints of tho semi-eirolo, and from the
base to the ship/ down whiob the wind rushed with
snoh tremendous fury it was-hopeless to expeot a
spar, or even the hull- itself, could survtvo ft from
moment to moment, and the terribly agitated and
fearfully increasing waves whiob constantly threat
ened to board her and inevitably aweep everything
away, if no worse calamity resulted. Every possible
exertion was made to get the shin out of the hollow
of these seas, and on tho outside of these streaks
and pathway, but she lay entirely unmanageable
in this' extremely perilous condition for half an
hoar, daring whioh she had fallen off about one
and a half point, and ranged ahead abont three or
four miles, when, to our very great amazement and
relief,.the wind suddenly changed, and subsided to
a moderate breeze from NW, and the sea (aa sud
denly) very smooth and oalm. These continned so
space of.four or five milea farther, when we
again, as suddenly, encountered a strongNW gale
at’sea. Boring the half hour she lay soentlrely ex
posed to the fury of the storm, one of the heavy
seas strnok kor under the loe quarter with snoh
violence as to shake her boil terribly, and wash
some of the oakum entirely ont of somo of the
seems. Captain Kearney says, that never before,
in about forty years experience at aea, in all direo
tlons, baa he paased through so impressive and
thrilling a seene, or had the fear and dread of
foundering in the ocean ever forced themselves so
strongly upon his mind."

* The obsequies of the late Senator Broderick, in
New York, under direction of Engine Company
No, 34, were to take place yesterday.
Qhe London Times of the 21st ult. has another
article denouncing tho financial policy of Ponn
gylvanfc. It is as follows:
- “The worst financial sign among the repudiating
States of America, is ,that whenever their delin
quencies are pointed out, nearly the whole of the
population, as well as all the journals, at onoe en
deavor to deny or justify them. There never
seems to bo even the fragment of an independent
party to denounce the wrong, at all hazards, since
even those who urge the expediency of redeeming
any default cemmonly flatter the multitude with a
number of reasons to show that their past conduot
hoe been perfectly proper and natural. If a dozen
men could bo found to stand up and denounce each
act of dishonesty, It would create a better Impres
sion than the unanimous voice by whioh each State
now pretends to silence all possibility of reproaoh.
Some weeks back, in allusion tea flourish from the
Governor of Pennsylvania, to the effect that that
State, in her management of money transactions,
was a beacon in the pathway of all Her sister
.States, and a model which European nations could
scarcely hope to imitate, reference was made in the
Times to some aots she has committed of delibe
rate confiscation. In 1843, she issued bonds,
bearing six per cent, interest, and redeem
able in 1846, and shortly before the period for
redemption of the principal, and after she had
neglected to meet the interest, she notified to tho
holders that she would not pay more than 41 per
eont, for the arrears of six per cent., and that, in
stead of paying the principal, she would force them
to take now bonds, nearing only five per cent. To
deny these facts woatd bo impossible, because they
stand in the aroblves of tho Legislature. The plan
adopted, therefore, is the old one of raising a
counter charge; and a leading Philadelphia mer
chant has accordingly come forward to point out
that tho Times has no business to allude to the
matter, because the British Government ‘ deducts
* income tax from - the Interest of their national
debt,' and on this ground we are warned to pluok
the mote out of . our own eye beforo we point to
f real or imaginary faults’ on thepart of ‘ an honest
State’ like Pennsylvania. To English readers it
seem incredible that such phrases can bo pa*
raded any where in print; but it most be remem

discontented orators to look for happy examples,

Into that body, more than ton delegates will be
present, and from their scats will proclaim their
uncompromising opposition to the example
set by the President of the United States in
proscribing honest Democrats for a diffbronco
of opinion. Should the Pennsylvania Demo
cratic State Convention yield to tho same in
fluence which succeeded here on Monday laßt,
thore will be a long night of defeat and de
spondency before the Democratic party. This
fact may operate upon such of the counties as
have not chosen delegates to the coming Con
vention, k and may induce tho good men of the
party to come forward, and to rescue the
organization from the hands into which it has
fallen. But we shall see what wo shall see.
Public Amusements.
We are glad to find that the continued sueooas of
“ Dot” la so great as to warrant Messrs. Wheatley
A Clarke in keeping it on tho stage at tho Aroh
street Theatre yet a little longer. It now enter 8 I
into its second month, and really is attractive onough
to ran as many weeks as “ Oar Amerioaa Cousin”
did. The manner in wbiob, down to tho minutest
detail, it has been put upon tho stage, and the ex*
oollent acting which has made it-so attraotlvo, are
beyond ordinary praise.
The complimentary benefit, at Walnut-street
Theatre, to Mrs. Bateman, authoress of “ Geral
dine,” will come off this evening. It will be Mrs.
Waller’s last performance of the prinoipal character'
the heroine. The part of David of Ruthen, the
Bard, hitherto very powerfully played by Mr. H.
A. Perry, will bo taken, on this ooaasion, by Mr.
Bateman, who, after the play, will reoite Schiller's
Hymn to Joy. Signorina Pratesi and Mr. G. W.
Smith will d&noo La Napolltan, and Mr. Vining
Bowors will play the p&rtof Strong in “Your
Life’s in Danger.” A very strong bill, taken
altogether.
Mrs. Waller will appear as Meg Merriltes, at
this theatre, to-morrow evening, and will also play
the Duchess of Maifi and Lady Macbeth , during
the week. The first play she has revived. There
is not a better Lady Macbeth now upon the Btage,
by whioh we desire to intimate that in doep tra
gedy this lady has no equal. We wish she could
also bo induced to play the part of Lady Teazle.
That , we suppose, it is in vain to ask for.
Italian Opera at the Academy.—The Misses
Heron Natali havo been induced to extend their
programme. This evening they will present the'
prinoipal portions of the operas “II Trovatore”
and “La Figliadel Reggimento.” On Wednesday,
they will give “ Lucrezia Borgia”, and “Elisiro
d’Amore.” On Saturday afternoon, they will give
a musio&l matinee. They have, in effect, a com
pany (all but the chorus, who usually sing out of
time) fully equal to porform all that is promised.
The vooalists are Agnese Heron Natali, soprano,
Francesca Heron Natali, contralto; Signor Rocco,
basso; Signor Maecaferrl,tenor; and Signor Ar
lavani, bantono. The full orchestra will bo under
the direction of Carl Anschuts. We do hopo, as
Philadelphia professes to be a musical city, and is
so, much more than New York, that onr lovers of
melody, as well as our fashionables, will make a
point of encouraging by their patronftge and pre
sence the yonng, interesting, and gifted vooalists
who are the benef ciarics, who will appear at tho
Aeadomy this evening.
, An entire eh&nge of performance will be pre
sented to-night at Dan Rice’s “great show” at the
National Theatre, in Walnut street, near Eighth.
At MoDonough’s Gaieties, Raoe street, the new
play of “The Deserters, or Scenes in Mexieo,”
will be repeated this evening. Amongst tho com
pany here is Mr. A. J. Lovntt, b&njoist, and Mr.
, Miss Davenport at Fimsußa.—We perceive
by those usual organs of intelligence, tb«
pers, Miss Joan M. Davenport has been giving
dr&matio readings in Pittsburg. * Tho Daily Dost
of Thursday says: “As we anticipated, Masonio
Hall was well filled lost night to hear Miss Daven
port’s reading of Shakspeare’s great comedy of “ As
You Like It.” The audience wore of coarse highly
deligbtod, as they must he perforce, for the well
known powers of the lady wer* finely displayed.
Her sweet voice, with its exquisite modulations,
Seems peculiarly adapted to recitations of this
character, and every part was rendered in
what we eonoeivo to be the spirit of the great
author when writing the picee. By this rending
Miss Davenport has added many to tho list of her
admirers, among whom are some who had never
beforo hoard her, owing to a prejudice against the
Theatre. It is impossible with her talent that
any thing whioh Miss Davenport undertakes to do
intheTineof her profession should be othorwise
than pleasing. The naturalness of her stylo, and
tho eorreotness and beauty of her elocution, are
most remarkable. Her first reading in this city
was a decided success. On to-morrow night she
will read Sbakspearo’s play of the Merchant of
Venice, and recite the Marseilles Hymn, an enter
tainment which will iosuro another large and
fashionable house.”
Harper’s Magazine for December.
By special hand, and not from tho publishers, j
we have a oopy of Harper's Magazine for De
oember, which we reeoived on Friday afternoon—
no matter how. It opens with throe illustrated ar
ticles. The first, with numerous foll-pago engra
vings, upon Washington id 1859; the second, by
T. F. Meagher, entitled Holidays in Costa Rioa,
a genial, amusing, and instructive account of a
hasty trip; the third, upon Inseots Destructive to
Wheat, containing a groat deal of information.
Thore is also a fortune-teller’s scene, with the lady ’b
face too grave, and a two-page series of engravings,
by J. MoLcn&n, facetiously illustrating “ Spriggin’s
Voyage of Life.” Among tbo miscellaneous papers,
G. W. Curtis’s pleasant stringing of Charles
Lamb’s tittle notes to Thomas Allsop is tho best.
Those are briof, but very oloarly show Charles
Lamb’s peculiar moods and fanoiog. Thoro is a
paper, entitled Our Old Pew, whioh Addison would
gladly have printed in his Spectator ; some poetry,
not remarkable; and two or three good novelettes,
with one, unreadable from its pedantry, pretonee,
and extravagance, entitled “ Regular Habits.”
We kindly name it, that roadore may skip It at
onoe. The Editor’s Table, Foreign Buroau, and
Easy Chair, aro capital this month. This Decem
ber number commences the twentieth volume of
Harper , tho most widely circulated magazine in
the world. The nineteen volumes already pub
lished almost constitute a library in themselves.
The Martyrdom of John Hass.
Our citizens generally aro perhaps not aware
that the Exhibition of Dasseldorf Paintings, at the
Academy of Fine Arts, will close very shortly. We
assure all those who havo not yet visited this Gal
lery, that thore is a great treat in store for them.
Tho prlnolpal picturo, the “ Martyrdom of John
Hass,” is a composition of the grandest dimensions,
and will tell upon them with unexpected forco;
they will feel prouder of our times, whioh, in spite
of all their materialistic tendencies, achieve saoh
triumphs in the sphorc of the Ideal. In addition
to the artistic pleasuro, this work of genius, repre
senting ono of the greatest conflicts of the ago, will
have a moral effect upon them, such as only the
mightiest realities of life can havo. Tho othor
pictures in this collection aro also worthy of atten
tion. The best of these are a Holy Family, lighted
wonderfully; the Candidate showing a scholastic
youth before a self-complaoent assembly of learned
professors: Desdemona and Othello: and a soa
scone worthy of the pencil of Hamilton himself.
The Southeast Gallery, where these pictures are
exhibited, is open through the day and evening,
and wo know of no more pleasant or profitable way
of spending a leisure hour than contemplating these
magnificent specimens of the genius of modem art,
while the opportunity offers, during tho presont
week, as the pictures must be returned to New
York without much farther dolny. We havo won
dered how they could have been so long spared
from the Dasseldorf Gallery, of whioh they are tho
ornament.
Mission:sr tiie Blooklby Almshouse.— We
have received the eleventh annual report of Kev.
Edward 0. Jones. It contains a full and onoou
raging record of his philanthropic services in the
insane hospital, children’s asylum, and malo medi
cal hospital of this largo public institution. Tho
long experience oi Mr. Jones in this arduous field
of effort peculiarly qualifies him for an intelligent
prosecution of his work. Appended to tho report
is & very strong recommendation of Dr. Kirkbride,
the distinguished superintendent of the Philadel
phia ■ Insane Hospital, as to the remedial effects of
Mr. J.’s labors among the mentally affected. Wo

Washington, Nov. 18,1859.
The last act of the Harper’s Ferry tragedy will
soon be enacted. All the leading partioipunts in
that bloody affair are to be executed. No respite
will he granted, but the extent of the law will be
insisted upon. The fooling produood by this event
in the Southern States is muoh greater than is ge-
nerally believed. It has re&ohod all classes and
all parties. Those who, a few weeks ago, wore
ready to fall book upon a conservative sentiment,
equal the most furious fire-eaters in their comments
upon Brown and his associates, and in their eager
ness to hold certain of tho anti-slavery leaders re
i sponsible for tho aota of those misguided men. I no*
I tioo such newspapers as tho Riohmond Whig]
Louisville Journal, and New Orleans Bulletin—
lately quite willing to clasp bands with the Northern
opposition to the Democratic party—indulge in lan
-1 guage, against those they regard as tho enemies of
I Southern institutions, of the most inflammatory
i character. This state of things is somewhat novel;
I but, on & calm review of the facts, it was inevi-
table. The preparations of Brown and his ma
rauders for a conflict between the servile population
of tho South and the whites were of a character
well* calculated to make thAt attempt a most san
guinary ono, had it succeeded. We have only to
go back to tho Nat Turner insurrection—^nearly
thirty years age—and to recall tho scenes whioh
characterised that revolt—the murder of inoffon
sive people, and the outrages upon women—to havo
a faint idea of the nervous exoitemont whioh now
prevails in every Southern State. There is no rea
soning with suoh a sentiment. When mon begin
i to apprehend danger to thoir families—whon thoy
I are lod to bellevo that efforts aro being mado, orl
| ginating in tho froo States, to inoite to rapine and
murder the slaves by whom thoy ore surroundod—
when they read over such speeches as that of Wen
deli Phillips in New York, and scan the oolumnsof
Garrison’s newspaper—when they know that from
Christian pulpits are hurled the most exciting ap
peals to tho antagonistic sentiment of tho Northorn
States, it would be str&ngo if thoy did not retaliate
in language of great bitterness, nnefifthey did not
I insist that summary vengeance should be inflicted
I upon all who might he deteoted in tho act of ear-
I rylng out the threats so lately and so frequently
I uttered against them.
j The Harper’s Ferry affair was, in all rospoots,
I therefore, a most oalamitous one. It consolidates
I the South in support of tho most extreme and vio*
I lent counsels. It furnishes an exouse for tho most
stringent laws against tho slaves, and the most oner
getio legislation against the free colored popula
tion. It widons tho breach between the two sec
tions of the Union; and last, not loast, it has, I
f jar, preparod the Senators and Representatives in
Congross lor a moat aorimonious and dangerous
session. Unfortunately, too, just at this poriod tho
conduot of tho Administration on tho Territorial
question will oomo in issuo before the National
Legislature. Comparisons will bo drawn and
efforts will bo made to fix the responsibility of tho
l&to tragedy upon those who will resist them with
corresponding animation. The Riohmond En
quirer, of Thursday last, contains an artiole, a
portion of which I givo you without comment, in
I order to let your renders see that not only Con
! gross, but tho National Convention of tho Dorao-
I oratio party will be, in a large degroo, affoetod by
I recent events:
I 11 What tho cation wants at this time is laws en-
I forced, property protected from John Browns, both in
States and Territories. The moral of Harper’s Ferry
I teaches that the intervention of authority, lioth State
and Federal, is demanded as much in tho States as in
Territories. Intervention is not wanted to introduce,
but to protect slavery. * Tho average common senso of
mankind, the Republican phraso for insurrection,’ is
but a tautological expression for the nogadon of law—
non-intervention, Upon the Charleston Convention will
devolve the duty of drawing the line of demarcation,
broad and distinct, in platform and candidates from
[Black Republicanism, No compromise mil be enter-
I tained.
“The South knows its rights, and Harper’s Ferry
teaches she must maintain them. Should the Union
survive the appreaching Congress , the Charleston Con
vention will decide its fate. If the South is permitted
by an existing Union to meet the Northern Democracy
in Charleston, the consultation wilt be calm and dohbo
rate. The first men of tho South will bo there assem
bled. No scheming, plotting politician, seeking an
opportunity to barter rights for publio plunder, will be
able to gratify his treasonable propensities; but, in
firmness and with dignity, the doctrine of tnfervrnfeon
for protection will be insisted upon by the South, and
tho representatives of the Northern Democracy will
decide the issue, lf/or intervention, the nomination
will be proceeded with; if against intervention, there
will be a leave-takine* a bidding adieu, separation.
a disunion, a secession, that will be not only prognostic
but potent—a shadow of coming events cast warningly
before to inform and deter. Tho Democratic candidates
must be presented to the people of all the States upon
the ultimatum of the Constitution ns understood and
deoided br the Supreme Court. If there are not conser
vatives enough at the North to elect conservative can
: didates, there will scarcely bo found conservatives
I enough at tho South to save the Union. An honest jour-
I nalists, in a position whioh enables us to know Southern
opinion, and to see and understand all the movements
upon the chess-board of Southorn politics, we oaimly
warn our Northern allies of tho dangor.”
a good deal of interoßt begins to be manifested
on tho tariff question, and somo speculation Is holm*
iuttwis*w-t«rw-TTuoiiierniT. iraohanan wuT ropoat,
in his message, his recommendations prior to the
last Congress ? Whether ho will again assort that
specific duties aro necessary in certain oases? or*
whether ho will allow Mr. Cobb to make/as thoory
the basis of that portion of his messago ? Hod tho
President separated himself from tho Kansas issuo,
or rather maintained his original position on that
question, and devoted his patronage to suoh legis
lation in regard to the revenue as would have been
satisfactory to his State and to tho country, a per
manent adjustment of ono of tho most vexatious
questions would have been reaohed long beforo
this. Of oourso. Pennsylvania will insist, in the
i organization of the House, upon tho chairman
;of tho Committeo of Ways and Moons. A
j procedcut was sot in the last Congress,
Iby tho appointment of J. Glancy Jones at
I tho hood of that committee, which will no doubt
be followed in tho new organisation of that
I body. I hear a number of names mentioned for
this position, among others Hon. Thaddcus Stevens,
| Hon. Thomas H. Campboll, And Hon J. Kennedy
| Morohead. Now, if tho President would repeat his
recommendations of 1857 in his forthcoming annu
al message, no doubt the Committeo of Ways and
Means in the House would second it, and with the
aid of his influonco in the Senate, ho might nssist
in consummating such a revonuo law as would give
general satisfaction. Ho is very anxious to be re
stored to tho confidence of tho pooplo of Pennsyl
vania, And that ho looks forward to n re-election
there is no doubt. Tho manner in whioh bis of
fice-holders in Philadelphia, at your lato primary
[elections, used tho money of tho people and tho
patronage of tho Administration to crush out pub
lic sentiment, and to ccoure suoh n representation
at the Harrisburg Convention, is a convincing
proot of this assertion. Let us see how much ho is
I willing to do for our good old State before tho next
1 Congross. It is tho last trial that will bo presented
to him, and I propose that he should have a fair
opportunity to make it.
As an cvidcnco of the enterprise of tho New York
papers, it may be stated that tho Tribune— whioh
I is certainly not tho most popular of tho Eastern
journals—hashadregularcorrospondonts at Charles,
town, Va., during all tho trial of John Brown and
| his followers. Two of thoso gentlemen passed
through Washington yostorday, and scorned to bo
in groat glee that they had completed thoir some
what perilous task without personal Injury. You
will remembor that the Tribune played o prank of
this sort in Georgia at a celobratod solo which took
place in that fitato—the correspondent perform
ing his duty without being disoovorod. It is
said that some of tho Virginians aro intensely in
dignant that they did not know tho gontlemcn in
I question with the ravenous pons.
The roost painful interest has boon manifested
daring tho last two days in regard to tho honlth of
j Judge Douglas. Ho has labored with so much in
dustry and zeal during tho last year, that I do not
| wonder that his constitution has temporarily given
way. Ho has been so vigilant and energetio In
watching all tho phases of the groat principle with
which bis name is identified, that he has almost
lost sight of himself. Just as his accomplished wifo
was reoovorlng from what threatened to bo a fatal
illness, ho himself was taken down with bilious
fevor, and on Friday evening became alarmingly
111. lam very happy, however, to assure you, that
his physicians pronounoe him out of danger. No
greater calamity could befal tho oountry at tho
presont day than the loss of this illustrious states
man. His houso was besieged, day and night, with
anxious inquirors, and Uie heart of this great oily
soemed to havo uplifted whon it was announced
last evening that he was out of danger. Telogra
phio despatches poured in upon his family, from ail
parts of tho country, asking aflor the condition of
his health.
Among the significant lessons taught by the lato
j Northorn elections, nothing speaks more eloquently
than the result of the contest for Representative in
Congress to fill tho vacancy oreated by tho death
of the lamented Thomas L. Harris in tho Spring
field (III.) district. John A. MoOlornand, the Do
mooratio candidate, accepted the Douglas doctrino
without reservation, as it was understood in 1850,
I and subsequently explained by tbo distinguished
I Senator himself. Although most violently opposed,
he has merged from the contest with the greatly
increased mojority of five thousand; and yet Mr.
Buchanan perseveres in his efforts to oontrol the
Charleston Convention, and to overthrow the only
priooiplos whioh can give tho Democratic party a
triumph in 1860.
The mombers of tho Cabinet aro excessively in
dignant becauso the New York Herald claimod
tho late oleotion in that State as a triumph of Wil
liam H. Seward, and ono or two of thorn havo not
hesitated in declaring thoir determination to oall
Mr. Buchanan’s attention to this last vagary of his
porsonal organ. The Prosidont is desirous of show
ing that the Now York oleotion is against Seward,

The Paris oorreapondont of tho London Time*

Powers that have to sottlo the vory difficult ques*
tlon of Italy. At Zurich matters nro paralyzod for

but it is probable that in tho course of the present
week the treaty botween Franco and Sardinia, as'
tho necessary oonsequonoo of that botween Franco
and Austria, will bo finally arranged. Franco
pays a sum of money to Austria, and Piedmont will
roimburso Franco in proper time and placo on ac
count of tho oxpense of the war. The suoccssor of
M. Colloredo will sign tho throe treaties. As little

and remarks that it was important to tho Powers of

for it is only in accordance with the oternally ag

MR. WARD'S VISIT TO PEKIN.
A letter from Shanghne. dnted August 22d, says
that tho U. S, steamship Powhatan, with Ministor
Ward, lmd just arrived from tho Peiho Tho fol
lowing statement is furnished by her officers : On
tho llJth July, the Powhntnn was anchored off
Poltang, when an imperial edict arrived that the
Amerloan minister and his suito of twenty should
bo escorted with all honor to Pekin. On tho 20th
Mr. Ward and suite landed, wero received bynn
escort, and conducted to Pekin with eveiy show of
respect. They first travelled 4."> miles across tho
country, in covered carts, striking tho Peiho ton
milos above tin Tson Tsing; thenoo proceeded in
junks within eleven miles of Pekin, whence
they Again took cnrt3 to tho capital. Tho
trip scoupicd oight nnd n half dflvs. Tho legation
remained at Pekin fifteen days, during which they
woro confined to their quarters; not, however, n 3
firlsonors, for thoy weio at liberty at nny moment
0 walk out, but the commissioner refused them tho
use of horses and guides, leaving it optional with
Mr. Ward to remain or not na ho pleased. They
would doubtless, however, hnvo closed tlio gates
ontlrely bad not Mr. Ward taken a firm stand at
tho first Interview, that us soon as his movements
wero at all restricted he would closo all intercourse,
and demand his return under escort.
It Boems that tho Emperor was very anxious to
boo Mr. Ward, but that ho nls>o inpistod upon Ins
performing “kotow”—that is, prostrating htofaolf
nine times with lub head to tho ground—which
was positively rofused. JTho result was, that on
tho fourteenth day it wna finally concluded to
reoelvo the President’s letter at Pekin, and Bend
Mr. Ward baok to Poitang to cxclmngo tho treaty,
and tho noxt day they returned. At Pcitnng, on

A Case or Kidnapping.—A case of alleged
kidnapping was heard before Alderman Dallas on
Saturday morning, the circumstances of which may
bo. briefly stated ns follows: On Monday last, an
Irish woman, named Ellen Conley, who had been
fcloased from prison on tho sanio morning, wont to
a house in Griswold’s alley to convey a message
from n woman in prison. While there, she heard
that an aged colored woman had a grandchild living
in Rodman street, but was not permitted by its
mother to see it. She offored to wager that no one
could bring tho child to her, whereupon Ellen pro
ceeded to the house of Mrs. Hurrah, and informed
her that a certain highly respectable lady having
heard of her excellent stylo of sewing, desired her
to call up and do souo for her. While delivering
this story, she fondled with the child, and finally
induced Mrs. Darrnh to allow it to accompany her
to a candy store, so she could mako it a present.
Ellen immediately took the child to the house
where tho reported grandmother was, and hand
ed it over to her, since which no tidings of
it havo boon discovered. Tho grandmother of
tho child resides at Thirteenth and Coates
street. Sbo was sent for, but said that she knew
nothing about the matter, and further, that she had
not been out of tho Imus ; during the day. Ellen
was arrested, and had a hearing before Alderman
Dallas, when she was committed lo answer tho
chargo of kidnapping. She InsUls that she is
ignorant of tho whereabout? of the child. Tho
house in Griswold’? alley wa3 visited by the police,
who arrested tho inmates, three colored women,
giving tho name of Stewart The parties were
locked up, and. as we havo said, hail a hearing cn

At tho hearing. Elizabeth C Deary, the «tep
motb.er of tho child, testified that about 12 o’clock
ou Monday last, a white woman, named Ellen Coo
ley. camo to her house, and stated thit Mrs.
Wctheml had sent her to procure her services as a
spfimdre--*. and after some conversation in refer
ence to the matter, a-ked her if ebo had a child.
Witness = lid no, but her husband had a little
chiltl by r. funner wife, cr> she called it. Ellen
picked it up and ki»«ed it, nod praised it for it?
beauty do ; and finally gave it a penny, anil ask
ed witness if sho snoubl not bring the child some
candy. So she took the child fur that purpose.
Tho witnc*?, t’ lough curio-i»y, went out to 10->k
atfrr hint, biK could not find either defendant or
child, and after some inquiry and const ierable
search, «*he put tho matter in the hands of Police

-v».ny with bur hu.-bnnd, proceeded to the ntigh
mrhond of Newtown, Bucks county, to a house oc
cupied by a man named Brown, * (colored) where
they found the child in bed. They then proceeded
to "earch the house for Louisa Easton, the grand
mother of the child, when they finally discovered
her in an outlmu*©, where the had hidden herself
She was brought to the city and admitted to bail
for her appenranro

of the above witner*, and Officer Erwin, corrobo
rated the testimony of the step-mother. as also to
the arrest of Ellen Conley, Elizabeth Williams, and
Anne Meredith
After hearing tho evidence, the counsel for de
fence, L. Hirst, Esq., asked the discharge of the
two last named, ns there was do evidence which
would warrant their being held, except a? wit
nesses
Louisa Ea«ten and Ellen Conley were ordered
to find bail in the sum of to answer the charge
of conspiracy and nbducGon at the next term of

Important Arrest of Counterfeiters.—
For Bomo time put Deputy Marshal Jenkin*. of

making and pacing counterfeit coin. Having as
certained the locality where their operations were
conducted—a three-storied bou a e in South Cam
<len —be ve-terday morning, in company with Of
ficer Starkey, proceeded to make the arrest. They
entered the building at an early hour, and founl
two mon in bM, named James Ackerman and Geo
Miller.' They awoke them, stated their errand,
and candied the premise?; and upon roaebing a
room in tho third story, discovered about five hun
dred dollars’ worth of counterfeit halves and quar

noted counterfeiter, who was arrested by Marshal
Jenkins near Long-a-coining, some few months ngo,

A motion was made to quash the bill of indict
ment in the cw of Samuel D. Prentxell, charging
hiia with obtaining goods under ftlse pretences.
The ground upon wb : ch the app’icatinn was made
wss ‘hat tb“ cuss had beenheard on habeas eorpus,
and th-' defendant discharged.
>'r. Brewster argoed that if the District Attorney
*-*nJ up n bill of indictment to tho Greed
Jury after the dischargeVn habeas corpus, the ha
bets corpu* was a nnllity. A discharge on habeas
corpu* had be«-n almost universally held to be an
n.’tusl disdiargo Mr. Erewster said that Judge
I,u Low had discharged Mr. Prentiell because the
testimony fiiled to makeoutaease cf islse pre
tence. The prosecutors decorative painters, had
walked info the National 11*11. and seeing Mr.
Prertiell there, asked him if that was his hall. He
replied that it was; they then asked him if he
wanted the hall painted, and they entered into a
c‘-ntr.«et to paint it; that could not be considered
to bo false prcteoce.
Mr. Lurie, on tho other side, cited a case in point
decided by Judge Randall; also a case in Wiseon
fiu. in which the Supreme Court had decided that
a discharge on habeas corpus did not prevent the
sending of a bill before tho Grand Jury. A decision
made by Judge Randal] to the same effect was also
citc l. Since the discharge of Mr Prentxell. the
Grand Jury hive found a true bill against him.
The reason for the discharge on the writ of habeas
corpu*. as we understand it. was that the work was
not yet finished, and the bill for it was not due. The
court b«!d the application to quash the bill under
ftd\ Dement.
The application f>r a new trial, and in arrest of
judgment, in the case cf John Connor, recently con
victM upon n charge of seduction, was argued by
Lewis C. Cassidy. Esq , on the part of the Common
wealth. and by Messrs. Benjamin H. Brewster and
t n n ,a» t ,ore Hanbest, for the prisoner. Held under
advisement.

United States Commissioner** Office—
Commi.-siorer Heaxlitt.—On Saturday morning,
Thomas Knipe was brought up before the Commis
sioner, upon the charge of passing counterfeit quar
ter* and halres of a dollar.
If appears, from the evidence elicited before the
Commissioner, that the defendant went into the
store of Thomas Sands, and, after purchasing some
articles, offered in payment for the same a counter
feit quarter of a dollar. Upon being arrested, the
defendant was searched, and counterfeit money
was found upon hta person. After-bearing, the
Cmbmisrionerheld the prisoner in the sum of $2,009
bail to answer the eharge at the next term of the
United States District Court. The defendant was
committed to prison in default of bail.
