Alliance ol the North and Soath,
.That a deliberate attempt is being raado to
induce the Southern people, upon various ap
peals, tbunltjgin a sectlofiil crusade, must bo
apparent to Wjyme or
dinary care, fte lsdicatidns of the
time. Loolillg.tlSbugK' our Southern .ex
changes, wonpt icOtliatthi s unfortunate spirit
is manimjstbarfdniill, sicle's; : Of,courso, the
“ rebellion” atßarper’s Ferry is the immediate
pretext lbr these appeals, and any amount of
contingent violent remedies is suggested. The
effort of jnost.of these agitators seems to be to
convince the Southern people that they have
no'friends' in the North, and that the only way
to rescue themselves from real or imaginary
dangers, is.. to act upon this idea, and to insist
upon ; a certain ultimatum at the hands of
Congress and the Federal Government. The
Charleston Mercury, of course, looks to seces
sion as the great relict. Even the Bichmond
Enquirer demands several conditions precedent
at the Oharlo&oh Convention, which, if granted,
would, on the one hand, consolidate tho North
against the Southland if refused, on tho other,
would consolidate, according to the Enquirer ’«
thoory, tho South against the North. "Wo an
ticipated the probability of precisely such a
demonstration, as the readers of Tan Fbess
will remember, 1 and we are not surprised that
it has been mado.
The last provocation of tho South has been
of an extraordinary character, hut the statesmen
in that quarter of the country should remem
ber that precisely in proportion as that provo
cation has awakened an intense feeling of hos
tility to Abolitionism, so has it awakened in
the Northom States a strong and ardent sym
pathy for our Southern people, thus unwar
rantably and insanely assailed. This sympathy,
howover, does not grow out of any attachment
to slavery per ac, or any wish that it may bo un
constitutionally or forcibly extended. It arises
from other and holier motivos— it arises chiefly
from the sympathy of the white race of the
North with the white race of the South.
Tho first is anxious to see the second prosper,
and resolved to protect it in ail its rights under
the laws, and every attempt to endangor tho
lives of the white racooftho South will bo
sure to organize the indignant and active re
sistance of the white raco of the North. There
may bp, and there are, othor reasons, of a po
litical character, for the sympathy which at
present prevails in theNortbom and North
western States in Tegard to tho Sontb, which
heed no discussion at present; but that which
wo present to-day ought ,to ho sufficient to ad
monish the leading men of the South not to de
stroy the national existing sentiment of co
operation ,wlth them by any appeal to extreme
measures.; . , .
The Health, of Philadelphia.
Owing to the death of the late health offi
cer, Ur. McAllister, and the confusion and
neglect of former boards of health, the publi
cation of a fall statement of the births and
deaths of Philadelphia during the year 185 G
bos been delayed until a few days since; but
we are pleased to learn that such arrange
ments are being made os will prevent similar
neglect in future, and that statements for 1867,
'6B and '69, .are now being will
shortly be published. The statement of the
total number of births in 186 G is defective, ns
full returns were not made to tho health offi
cer. The number reported was—males, 8,020;
females, 2,776—t0ta1, 6,795. The number of
deaths was 12,882. The greatest mortality
(1,091) occurred in tho month of August.
The deaths in July numbered 1,415, in De
cember 1,204; in March 1,056, in November
1,048. In oach of tho other months tho num
ber of deaths was less than 1,000.
• The diseases which caused the mortality
of 1868 strikingly indicate the general health
of Philadelphia,'as few or none of them were
caused by any peculiarity of our climate or
.unhealthy local influence. AVo append a list

one hundred persons died during tho

Foreign Aid for Rome •
■ An effort is being mode, In Ireland, to raise
a Foreign Legion for Popo Pius, which ho
may employ againat whatever force—French
or Italian—may be brought againßt him* This
would be a Catholic legion, devoted to main
tain, ii their full integrity, the temporalities
of the Church of Romo for the Popo. Tho
Dundalk Democrat , strongly in tho Catholic
interest, thus states the caso .*
“ Thousands upon thousands of our young men
go into the English army, and prove faithful to
their enemy; and it would oe strange, indeed, if wo
could not muster 20,000 of thorn who would enlist
under the banner of Pius the Ninth, and prove the
devoted defenders of their illustrious friend. With
a bravo and chivalrous army in Home and the
States of the Church, who would drive away the
rabble of out-throats, and emancipate the subjeots
of the . Pope from their outrageous tyranny, peaco
would be restored to the mind of his Holiness, and
safety to hi s person; and he would be loft in quiet
and security to attend to the duties of his high and
holy tnisaion, in directing the affairs of the Cnuroh,
whose children are scattered over the world.
Money would also be .required, and that would be
forthcoming. The Catholics of Europe and Ame
rica would easily contribute £lOO,OOO a year to sus
tain the army of Rome. We should say Ireland
would pay a tribute of £lO,OOO a year; England,
£5,000; France, £20,000; Spain, £10,000; Portu
gal, £5,000 > Austria, £20,000; Belgium, £5,000;
Prussia, and other Continental States, £10,000;
America, £10,000; Canada, £5,000; making a
grand total of £lOO,OOO to maintain a true and
faithful Irish anny.in the Eternal City, for the
preservation of the vioarof Christ from the ruffian
hands of his infidel enemies. As to Ireland's por
tion of tbo tribute, £lO,OOO, it oould bo made up
by two hundred thousand persons paying one shil
ling each; or by two millions fonr hundred thou
sand persons paying .one penny oach ; or by one
thousand pansbos paying *l5 each. At all events,
it would come very light, if it were sustained by
all the male Catholics in the country over ten years
of age. This would be the proper way to sympa
thise with bis Holiness, menaced as ho is by the
rabble of revolutionists and anarchists, who
threaten to lay their sacrilegious hands on the pa
trimony of the Holy Sao. It is the way in which
Pius tho Ninth showed his heartfelt sympathy for
Ireland in the day of her affliction, when one mil
lion of human beings were permitted to die in the
midst of plenty. If the Emperor of the French
heard that Catnolio Ireland felt Indignant at his
inexplicable conduct, we may be certain that a
great deal of good would ’be effeoted. Under all
these circumstances, we think the Utno has come
for Ireland to speak out—for an aggregate meeting
to be held in Dublin, the most Rev. Dr. Cullen oc
cupying the obair; and for meetings throughout
the provinoes to sympathise with his Holiness—to
collect fbnds, and reoruit an army for the defence
of his liberty, and the stability of bis throne."
From the comments, friendly and hostile,
of many of the Irish nowspapors upon this
proposition, it is evident that it is looked upon
as by no means impossible or improbable to
carry out. TVe givo it simply as an item of
intelligence, showing the temper of tho time
and of the people in Ireland.

The Trial of John E. Cook-Speech of
Hon. D. W. Voorhees*
In tho reamt triahof |<>hn E. Cook,' one of
the Harper-Ferry Insurgents, a different lino
of defenco Was adopted from that pursued by
tho counsel for the! other prisoners. Cook
was the brother*in-law.of Governor Wizard,
of and his friends allege that he was
a dreaming enthusiast,' of a suscoptible and
j impressible character, completely under the
control of tho strong s and determined will
of John Brown. Governor Wizard,
with a humanity und. devotion to his way
ward and unfortunate relative creditable
to his head and faoart, went to Cook’s
assistance as boor as ho heard of his
arrest,- accompanied by Bon. Daniel IF.
Voorhees, Attorney Genera! of Indiana.
By their advice, Cook made a complete con
fession of his connection with the recent out
break, and although no very important now
facte were elicited by it* it afforded some proof
of the irresistible power Brown possessed over
the men who had enlisted under him. The
speech of Mr. Voorhees, in defence of his
client, is published at length; and, whilo wo
do not agree with all Us positions or conclu
sions, no one can fail to admire the forensic
skill and ability it displays, and the touching
eloquence with which it pleads for a merciful
verdict. '
The speech opens with a eulogy of tho
court and jury, for tho impartial and orderly
manner in which tho trial of tho insurgents
had been conducted, and with tho following
appeal for a charitable consideration of the in
dictment:
“ Gentlemen, 1 am not hore on behalf of this pale
faced, fair-haired wanderer from his home and the
paths of duty, to talk to you about legal technica
lities of law, born of laborious analysis by the
sight of tho midnight lamp. I plaoo him before
you on no such ground. He Is in thehandßof
friends who abhor tho conduot of whioh he has
been guilty, JBufcdoes that fact debar him of human
sympathy? Boos the simplo aot smite the erring
brother with a leprosy whioh forbids the touch of
the hand of affection? Is his voice of repentance
and appeal for forgiveness stifled in his mouth?
If so. the mock Saviour of the world would have
recoiled wiih horror from Mary Magdalene, and
spumed tho repentant sorrow of Peter who be
trayed him. For my olient I avow evory sym
pathy. Fallen and undone; broken and ruined
os ho is by the fall, yet. from tho depths of tho
foarfui ohesin in whioh ho lies, i hoar the
oommon oall whioh the wretched mako for
sympathy more olearly than if it issued from
tke loftiest pyramid of wealth and power. If Ho
who made the 1 earth, and hung the sun, moon, and
stars on high to give it light, and orcatod man
a joint heir of otoroal wealth, and put within him
an immortal spark of that celestial flame which
Surrounds Ills throne, could remember mercy
In executing justice, when His wholo plan of
Divine Government was assailed and deranged;
when His law was sot at defiance and violated;
when the purity of Kdon had been defiled by tbo
presence and oounsels of tho serpent—why, so can
I, and oan you, when tho wrong and the crime
stand confossed, and every atonement Is made to
the majesty of the law whioh the prisoner has in
Ms power to make.”
Mr. Voorhees then proceeded to argue,
that, notwithstanding the crime of Vir
ginia could well afford to ho merciful, in con
sideration of tho facts that nearly ail the in
surgents at once paid tho penalty of their
lives; that Brown, tho leader of tho expedi
tion, was convicted and sentenced, and that
the conduct of tho slaves had shown their at
tachment to their masters. Ho then spoke as
follows of Cook :
“ Who is John E. Cook? Ho has the right him
self to bo heard before you; but I will answer for
him. Sprungfrom an anocstry of loyal attachment
to the American Government, he inherits no blood
of tainted impurity. His grandfather an officer of
the Revolution by whioh your liberty as wcli as
mine waa achieved, and his gray-haired father, who
lives to weep over him, a soldier of the war of 1812,
he brings no dishonored lineage into your presence.
If the mood whioh flows in his veins has been offered
against your peooo, tho same blood in the veins of
those from whose loins hespranghas boon offered in
fierce shook of battle and foreign invasion in behalf
of the people of Virginia and the U nion. Born of apa
rent stock oooupylng tho middle walks of life, and
possessed of all those tender and domestlo virtues
whioh esoape the contamination of those vices that
dwell on the frozen peaks, orin the dark and deep
caverns of sooiety, no would not have been here
had preoopt and example been remembered in tho
firodigal wanderings of his short and chequered
ifo. Poor deluded boy! wayward, misled child !
An evil star presided over thy natal hour, and
smote it with gloom. The hoar in which thy
mother bore thee and blessed thee as her blue-eyed
babo upon her knee, is to her new ono of bittor
noes as ehe stands noar the bank ef the chill river
of death, and looks back on a name hitherto as un
spotted and as pure as. the unstained snow. May
God stand by and sustain her, and preserve the
mothers of Virginia from the waves of sorrow that
now roll over her!”
After denouncing Brown as the leader of
the expedition, and as tho man who had ar
ranged it, making pliant instruments of those
under hie command, he aald: ~
“ Como with me, however, gentlemen, and let us
approach the spot where the tragedy of tho I7th
of October occurred, and analyse the conduot of
the prisoner there. It is not truo that he come as
a citizen to your State, and gained a homo in your
midst to betray you. Ho was ordered to take his
position at Harper’s Ferry in advance of his party,
for tho sole purpose of ascertaining whether Col.
Forbes, of New York, had divulged the plan. This
order c&me from John Brown, the * commander-in
chief, ’ and was, doubtless, a matter of as muoh In
terest to others of prominent station as to himself.
Cook simply obeyed—no more. Tboro is not a par
tiole of evidence that ho tomperod with your slaves
during bis temporary residence. On Ihe contrary,
It is admitted on all hands that he did hot. Ills
position there is well defined. Nor was ho from
under the cold, stern eye of his leader. From tho
top of the mountain his chief looked down upon
Mm, and beheld him as within a charmed circle.
Would Cook have lived a day had ho tried to break
the meshes whioh environed him? Happy the
hour in whioh he had ma le tbo attempt, even bad
he periahsd; but, in fixing the measure of bis
guilt, the cironmstancos by which he was sur
rounded must all bo weighed. At every step wo
see him as tho instrument in ihe bands of other
men, and not as originating or advising anything.
His conduot towards that elegant and excellent
gentleman. Colonel Washington, is matter of soro
regret to nis friends and also to himself. It is
the one act most difficult of all others to recon
oil© with the well-known charoeter of tho man.
Cut even there his offence is palliated by the
dictatorship whioh governed him. At first gl&noo
wc see a high-toned gentleman’s hospitality
abused. This has been used to aggravate bis
acknowledged offences. But tho truth is, that
when Cook first visited Col. Washington’s house,
and received from him various aots of kindness,
tho thought that coon he was to ho ordered back
over that threshold, In a hostile manner, had never
entered his brain/ Tho act was not Cook's, but
Brown’s. Tbo mere soldier is never Punished for
the outrages of his 'commander. And when you
allow that the prisonor’s great error was his en
listment under tho leadership of Brown in tho first
place, then you must admit that everything else
has followed in logical sequence. Obedience and
fidelity upon a leader in a false and pernicious
oausp are entitled te offset, in somo measure, at
least, the evil that has flowed from them. But the
prisoner took certain weapons, hallowed by groat
and sacred associations, from the possession oi Col.
Washington. Ah! in Hub he is onoo more consistent
with the visionary and dreamy oast of bis mind.
Tho act was not plunder, for he plodgod their safe
roturn to their owner, and has faithfully kopt that
pledge to the full extent of his power But his
wayward fancy was caught with the Idea that a
spell of cnohantmont hung around them, and that,
like the relics of a saint, thoy would bless ana
Prosper any cause in which they were invoked.
he sword of Frederick the Great, and the pistols
of li&fayotte linked to the namo and family of
Washington! With what a charm such asjocia
tlons would strike the poetic temperaroout of a
young enthusiast embarked in an enterprise pre
senting to his pervorted Imagination the incentives
of danger anu glory; and if a new order of things
was to bo inaugurated, and storm and revolution
were to shake tho country and the world, like tho
heart of the Bruce or tho eagles of Napoleon,
these w&rliko incentives of heroes were to fasci
nate and alluro followers, and hallow tho battles in
which they were lifted. Tho mind of tho prisoner
Is fully capable of dreaming such dreams and nurs
ing such visions.”
In tho concluding portions of his speech,
Mr. Voorhees endeavored to show that tho
real responsibility of tho Harper’s Ferry out
break rested with tho anti-slavery agitators ol
tho North.
A Noble Instrument.—Wo had yostorday the
pleasure of attending a trial, in private, of a vory
fine and powerful organ, just completed for tho
Central Presbyterian Churob, of Charleston, B. 0.,
by Mr. Knauff, of this city. The builder, in tho
construction of this instrument, has aimed parti
cularly at obtaining a distinct character for each of
the various stops introduced, so that they shall be
equally effeotlve in combination, and smooth and
brilliaut as’solo stops. Wo may name in particu
lar the Viol d'Amour t which, in sweetness and pu
rity of tone, cannot be excollod. Tho darinette
harmonique Is a stop originally introduced hero
by Mr. K; the fullness and roundness of Its tone,
and the entire absence of the nasal quality so com
mon to the reed, will be readily recognised and
valued by organists. In the pedal organ there is
a novelty in the Callion Sub bass y & stop of unu*
bu>il flnenoss, although of minor power, but invalu
able for soft combinations. Not tbo least of its
excellencies as an instrument is Its effect in tho
multiform and varied combinations, and its pewor.
When the whoty.of its Btops are combined, it ex
cels easily many organs that can boast of a more
numerous register.
Wo regret that tho early departure of thla organ
for its final destination will provent many from
hearing it who would gladly avail themFolvcs of
the opportunity. In its Southern home it will
bear good testimony to tho skill of Philadelphia
organ-builders.

Letter from “Occasional,”
(Correspondence of The Press.l ,
J „ Washington, Nov. 14, 1859.
Hon* Willlaln B. Beed arrived here, according
to expectation, on Saturday morning, and has had
a long and confidential interview with tho Presi
dent. Hr. Beed com os not only as an ox-plenipo
tentiary near his Gracious Majesty of the Sun and
Moon, hut as the full minister, speaking for the
collector and surveyor of tho port of Philadel
phia, hearing in his hands tho glad tidings that
the officials of Mr. Buchanan bavo succeeded in
broaking down publio opinion, and in electing a
majority of the delegates to tho State Convention
from that city .committed to doctrines which, If
they had boon declared in 1850, would have utterly
annihilated the candidate of the Democratic party.
There is & peouliar harmony in the fact that Wil
liam B. Beed should bo tho bearer of this nows—
that ho should bo able to congratulate tho Pre
sident that the Democratic party of Phila
delphia had formally aoceptod tho old Fe
deral dootrine to which Mr. Reed's lifo has
boon dedicated, vis : that no power should
bo oonferrod upon tho people, but that everything
should bo committed to men in office, and that, not
only should tho popular voioo in the Territories bo
strangled, but that the popular voice in tho States
should bo suppressed, by tho overwhelming power
of the General Administration. In all Mr. Rocdte
life, he had nevor boon known to utter a sentiment
in favor of Domooratic principles until his protenoo
of 1856, whon he affeoted to bo conquered by the
doctrine of popular sovereignty, which, whon de
serted by Mr. Buchanan, he too deserted, in ac
cordance with his natural and notorious antece
dents. He baa been tho sneering enemy of Domoora
tio prinoiplos, and of liberal ideas. Uo bas laughed
at tho republican professions of the Democracy,
from the time when, as a young member of the Le
gislature, down to 1852 and 1855, whon he pointod
at and persecuted Demoorats. Ho oatno into the
Democratic party ready to prove his fidelity to the
faith that he had practised during a long life. What
must be his sensations now, upon feeling that undor
Mr. Buohanan’s reign tho organisation of that party
has boon made to aeoept the cherished theories of
his (William B. Reed's) long and devoted affection ?
I have no doubt that Mr. puohonan received tho
ex-minietor to China with moro than his usual
tenderness, and that tho Federalist of 1829 greeted
thoFederalUtof 1855 with the uostcordial woloome.
Mr. Rood kopt himself in the background in your
lato elections, because his name would not have boon
an agreeable prefix to tho Administration's crusade
upon tho Democratic party. Bat ho has by this time
regaled Mr. Buchanan with a fall account of the
scones which took placo at thoso elections—hew
handsomely tho collector of the tho knifo
whioh the surveyor had to cut the
throats of old Demoorats liko John G. Brenner—
how obodiontly the director of tho Mint, Col. Snow
den, answered to the demands of the oollootor—
how unanimously tho navy yard cohorts wore ral
lied—and how completely Mr. Buchanan's old
friends, whenever they dared to show their faces,
wore put out of the way. Although Mr. Rood was
not in tho battle, ho was tho most appropriate
messenger that could have keen sent forward to
bear the nows of tho victory, and I have no doubt
he told It with an unotion And a skill only equalled
by the eagerness and enthusiasm with whioh it was
listened to by the Presidential autocrat.
Mr. Buchanan’s great idea of frightening the
South into support of himself, At tho Charleston
Convention, is to raise.the ory of disunion; to tell
them, indirectly, that the only way to he resouod
from their enemies is to take him up for tho Presi
dency, beoauso of his numerous sacrifices, Ac., in
thoir behalf. I regret to soe that a number
of tho Southern men nro being led into the
trap which ho has set for them, and that, in
allowing themselves to be moro than usually ex
cited by tho late tragical ovonts at Harper’s Ferry,
they are unoonsoiously helping forward one who,
if nominated by ten thousand Charleston Conven
tions, would be defeated at tho pells in November
of 1860. Mr. Buchanan’s scheme is either to re-
elect himself, or to elect some man entirely com
mitted to his policy; and henco it is that ho is
doing all in his power to assist that fooling in tho
South whioh has grown out of tho Harper’s Ferry
affair.
By the last arrival from California, I understand
that tho estate of Senator Broderiok is ample to
pay all his debts, and will l&rre a handsome sum
to be strugglod for by various contestants,
Judgo Douglas was not so well to-day; and I re
gret to add that, this morning, Mrs. Douglas her
self had a rolapco, and, at this hour of writing, is
quite indisposed. Occasional.
Academy of Music.— The Signoro Natali have
at length fully tested their powers both as actresses
and singors before the publio, and their friends, who
had heard with so znuoli pride and delight of their
great success in South America. Last night was,
for both those ladies—indeed, we may Bay, for the
quartet who form the company—a great and com
plete triumph. Tho opera of the “Trovatore" is
nna which appears peculiarly salted to the powers
and stylo of the two prime doc*., w*
they displayed great judgment in giving it tho pro
ferenoo over” Norma,” in which they had sung at
tho private matinee.
The Missc-s Heron (wo love to give them the
name by wM?h they arc enshrined in the genoral
esteem) nro emphatically singers of tho best mo
dern Italian school. That school has changed ut
terly einco tho molanoholy and Impassioned child
of Sicily, Bellini, wrote. Verdi’s music, itself an
offspring of the German and French schools, is
moro vigorous, moro accentuated, more intensely
dramatic, ami it requires that the interpreters t f
bis music should possess its qualities. Siguo'.i
Agnoso dieplayod in the part of Leonora a woudei *
ful power, and dramatic talents of the very highest
order. Tho Misorore was never (os far as re
gards her) moro effectively given, and her singing
of “D'Amor Sull’ AH” was full of tenderness
and swoetnoss. Signora Francesca electrified tho
houso by her acting of the gipsy. Nevor, since
tho days ot Dldieo, has this soono been given
with such thrilling effect. Signor Arduviini, a
baritone, whom wo havo already hoard and nut
forgotten, is an accomplished artist, and possesses
an excollont quality of voioo. The tenor, Signor
Maoeaferri, was very good. Ho has groat power in
his upper notes, but some of bis chost notes bavo
already tho bloom worn off of them. If his voice
wanted, in the two well-known romanze, tho sweet
nosa of Brignoli, ho mode up for this deficiency by
the animation, intelligence, and spirit he infused
into tho wbolo character.
Tho finale was given with great offeot, and the
curtain fell amidst vociferous npplauso from tho
audleuco, wko called tho whole company before
the curtain to again express their gratification.
Tho selections from ** The Daughter of tho Re
giment” gavo us Rooeo as the ScigeAnt, and no
better ono can be found. Signora Francesca plsyod
tho vtvanderc in a style which left tho audionco
in doubt as to whether sho was greater in tragedy
or in comedy, and Signora Agues© Natali, who
performed tho part of the intro
duced a beautiful arietta, and made that part suoh
as wo have never Been before. Tho Bistors wore
dressed with exceeding good taste, oud locked
oharmingly. Altogether, we may well bo proud of
our Philndolphia primo donne.
Tho wholo act, an ingenious combination of tho
musical goms, was charmingly done. The publio
appeared delighted once moro to listen to familiar
strains, and to be again within tho walls of tho
Academy of Music for the purpose of enjoying
that divine art to which it is dedicated. Wo have
no doubt that on Wednesday, whon another per
formance is givon, thoro will bo as numorous and
enthusiastic an audionco as last night.
Walnut-street Theatre—Author’s Night.—
A orowdod and enthusiastic audlenoo bade fare
well, last evening, to “Geraldine," and testified
how deeply they esteemed tbo genius which had
produced it. No play for years has taken a greater
hold of the public than this same tragedy of Mrs,
Bateman’s; and wbilo bidding adieu to her
admirable piece, we only hope that it will bo
but a brief period before wo shall weloomo
again some new production of that itccom*
pliahed authoress on the boards of one of
the theatres of this city. Mr. Batemau per
formed the character of tho Bard with singular
vigor, whioh was ail tho more estimable on account
of its entire freedom from rant. His mako-up wna
most impressive, and his delivery of tho curse was
grand and forcible. At the termination of tho tra
gedy, he reoitod with admirable feeling and effect
Schiller’s magnificent “Hymn to Joy,” which, at
tho present moment, was singularly appropriate,
and whioh was received with a degree of emotion
by tbo audience that proved how surely tho groat
poot had Btruok tho most vibrant chords in the hu
man heart. Mr. Bateman prefaced tho delivery
of tho poem with a few admirably chosen remarks,
in the course of which bo relntod tbo touching story
of the oirouinstanocs undor which tho poem was
com posed
Thus ended tho last night of “ Geraldine,” a
tragedy whioh has certainly produood more effect
In this country than any tnodorn sorlous dramatto
production. Mrs. Bateman mußi not stop in her
dramatio oaroor. Onward! Mrs. Waller appoars
this ovenlog as Meg Mtrrihes in “ Guy Manner
lng”—a great character.
Dan Rice's “ Great Show,” at tho National
Theatre in Walnut street, near Eighth, if con
stantly gaining favor with our citizens, and was

Bodouia’a Camp, or a Halt In the Desert," original

New York, Nov. 1-4, 1859.
There is an organization in this oity called tho
Real Estate Owners’ Association, whioh has gathered
together a mass of information respecting real and
personal estate, that possesses interest for the many
who aro not so fortunate as to Own cither. It has
been ascertained by this association, that thoro are
sow within the city limits, houses already occupied
more than sufficient to fill every vacant lot bolow
Fiftieth street, which is four miles and a quarter
from tho Battery. From Fiftieth atreot to the
upper lino of tho island,.or city, there are about
oighty thousand lots, taking out tho Control
Bark and sevoral ohurohes and publio squares.
The estimate of population at tho present time,
by the association, is one million. Tho population
of Now York has doubled within tho last fifteen
years. Conceding tho eamo rate of inoreafQ for
the futuro, nnd allowing ten persons to a lot (seven
would be more nearly correct), it would require
about twelve yonrs to fill tho island to its utmost
capaolty. Hut supposing tho preeont population
to bo 800,t)i»0, and allowing ton persons to a>Jt,
and estimating tho rate of increase as abovyr, the
island would be filled in fifteen years with a popu
lation of 1,000,000. But allowing seveiyporsons to
a lot, the difference would be 100,000./It will thus
take from twelve to fifteen years to,ihl up tho city
with dwellings, even if thoy nro J>uilt as fast ns re
quired. The probabilities are' however, that the
largo majority of tho Inorcnso calculated upon will
go toward swelling the population of our suburban
cities. It may be thought that tho aversgo of
sevon, or even ton perrons to a family, is too small;
but it must be rememberod that tho class of fami-
lies which will live in tills part of the city wil 1 oc*
cupy houses by Jaomeelves. In 1850 the popula
tion of the entiro city of New York averaged but
fourteen persons to each house, and about five and
a half persons to a family.

ail proper timeß and occasions to express his con
victions of tho necessity of Judge Douglas being

By this (imo you must know tho result of our
State election. It would socm by the returns that
Buchanan’s ‘‘impressible confliot” with tho Stele-
Bights Democracy bss been moro ruinous to tho
party iu this State than Soward’s “ irroprossibte

poets for carrying the State this fall wero good un
til Buchanan's organ—the Herald— came out in
support of the ticket. From that time tho pros
poota and hopes of tho ticket wore blasted. Many
honest Democrats began to suspect that in sup
porting a ticket that was upheld by Bennett would
be an endorsement of Hie Administration, nnd
therefore declined voting tho ticket. Mr. Bu
chuuan by this time must know that his policy of
having tho North become “ nil slaves” to bU polt

Lord Brougham’s Views on Italy and a
French Invasion.— A banquet was recently given
by tho citizens of Edinburgh to Lord Brougham,
In his speech, returning thanks for tho honor, ho
thus alluded to Italian affairs:
“ As to our'forelgn concerns, thoro may be va

may have a hankering uftor an opinion that it Wll9

to givo tho King of Piedmont a groat piooe of the

ho received tho freedom of tho city of Aberdeen,
that tho oardin&l view for this country to take
was, that no foreign Powor should interior© with

and sido with tho party thoy ohooso- -and that no

Referring to tho alliance with Franco, ho trusted
that ponoelul relations with that country would

that the beat way to prosorvo ponoo was to bo fully

Expected llising in Naples.
[Noples (Oct. 22) Correspondence of the Timei.l
Tho last Intelligence I sent you of Sicilian affairs
was vory vaguo; and, indeod, you may readily
imagine what efforts tho Government made to keep
tbo population in ignorance of what passes there
and elsewhere. Some people give the idea that
the Island is quiet, And tunt thero is no probability
of any outbienk, unless tho Government should
rocoivo some defeat or check on the frontior.
All then ; uillimit auy distinction, aro of opinion
that a rise will bo gcnornl in both parts of tho

rals will compromise themselves by any general
tnovo, unless the opportunity bo promising; but
thoro is, undoubtedly, an impression among them
that they aro equal to, or superior 10, any ovents
which may arise. With regard to tho late imenit
in SloHy, it did not assume any largo proportions.
I believe It was apart of n generally organised plan
to not upon Palermo; but the authorities got inform

Letter fro* Jakes Spear,
In Reply to Stuart Peterson.
Mb. Editor: In jour paper of the 10th wit. there a*-
pejred a letter, signed “ Stuart k Peterson,” the
avowed o inject of which was to caatioa the pnbiie sisi nst
believing certain statement* winch had appeared ia the
same column, respecting mg Gas-burning Cooking
Stoves and Baagea* In view of this, I deem it bvt jut
to myself and the public to make such sstatcoect of the
whole matter as will enable the intelligent reader to see
for h‘iuselfwho it reallj is that has been endeavoring to
•* lead the pubUe astray.” 'What I claim as v.y ewe
iarcstion, in the popular Stove with winch ray name
has hitherto been connected as the patentee, is the Ad
jvstalle Hoi line Front and Middle Centre Piece, perfo-
rated on the under side. In the letter referred to, the
statement is made, that ” on the <th day of February,
ISD, a patent was granted to J. B. CkoUsr for Hollow
Centres,” which Messrs. 3.4 P.» ten years afterwards,
in May .J££3, 'dura to hare purchased from the iareatof *
for a sum of money. In reply to this, I have only to say,
that the invention of Chollar is a different affair alto*
gether from my patent, aa will be readily perceive! by'
examining. TheCbollarpatent is ao< a donile-c^t r«
at alt , but merely a single plate with a nxtaU oral shall
attached on the under aide. Bo much for the ra»:iM re
Mr pu&tic against using Hollow Centre*. Thorns lie's
becoming entangled in a lav-suit” of which fears have
been kindly expressed, will probably be*r mirrowlag
down. >or my own part, I hare no disposition to
evade tne test of law in a matter in which I am w
legally fortified as I am ta the pouestum of this patent,
m the introduction of which I have spent large mas of
money, and, until quite recently, have never heard it
intimated that there was a prior claim to ay latestioa-
Underthese circumstances, 1 should fee! myself entrne
to every principle of equity and justice did I not require
the decision of a higher tribuaaJ than the mere ini
dni‘ of a rival concern to deprive me of my right*
Money and high-sounding threats will pot overawe me*
nor need ther very much alarm the cootiomed psthlie.
But let us next look at the legal part of the letter, and
see how the fa-ts, as they exist, have been d sUrted.
Mr. R, W. Beleoa it appears did construct a perforated
chamber on the under side of the croeapiace, in the f*n
of 1853. This is not dented, but what £do most empha
tically assert is, that oa aeeewat of tis aetligeßoa is
applying /«■ a patent on it, a patent was never created
to him, and that for reasons which Judge Dunlop elesriy
seta forth in his decision of Aagnst aa, liafr. In the let*
ter referred to, this decision it imperfectly quoted as
follows:
" I assume that Belsou first discovered it- sad per
fected, and applied it practically ia his own kitchen, sa
Philadelphia, in tbs fall of the year L&i—Belam being
the first of the two in point of time; and though Spear
first applied to the office and secured the patent, he can
not oust Be Ison or defeat his application.”
This meet unfair quotation ts followed by a remark
wbieh plainly shows the writer's obi set. ” As far as the
decision of Judge Dunlop goes,” says he, ”it wodd
make the Perforated Hollow Centre-Pi see
property, and destroys the use fulness of the patent
granted to James Spear.” Here the " cat” of a ” doc
fn the manger” Jealousy is fairly “ let cat of the bag.”
Now, let us quote Judge Dos lop honestly, and e»e whe
ther his deciiion wit! warrant such as inference. The
lsaycage of that decision, so far aa It bears upon the
point in question, is es foHowrf:
“ The vita! question in the ease is, has Belsoa loot his
right to a patent by failing to present his clvn to the
Patent Office in s reasonable rime? I assume, ia Bel
ton's behalf, that the perforated Chamber on the under
tide of the cross-piece in the Cooking Stove is anew
and useful improvement, and fatrty patentable. I as
sume that Belton first d.scoverrd \U and perfected.and
applied it practically is hia own kitchen, in ÜBS. In
UU, Spear patented the same improvement «a ccssK
itaftca trt'rh other dariegs, without any knowledge of
Belson's invention. This must bo conceded, because
there is no proof, pomrive or prtsamptive, that Stoat
had such knowledge, and the action of the Patent Office,
in 1553, \ptima facie, establishes bis title as an sririael
discoverer. They are hath, then, original discoverers of
the tame thing. And though Spear first applied to the
office and secured the pa teals, he eaanet oust Bsbon er
do Vet his application. rxuii he shore enlpalle ne
glect and laches in Seleon. [This Utter clause, it wih
be seen, was carcfußj concealed by my imilim,
which, as the reader will see from what immedUtely
follows, so effectually exposes the fallacy of their posi
tion as to make corameat unnecessary.] “ Belaoa slept
upon his invention from the fall of ISSJ till the spring of
13K>, having first presented humelftothe Patent Office
on the 35th May, I!S9 • * * fielso* had «e rigl< to
u.<« kis invention rrxTotetg for kit era gain, for ft*
gears, and then emet and claim a enooepohefrom the
yntlie for fourteen pears more.’ 1 * • • **la Shaw
vs. Cooper, T peters, SB, the Supreme Court say,
'Whatever may bo the intention of the iavemtnr, if he
suffers his invention to go into public nee, throogh nay
means whatever, without aa tamed**** assertion of hie
n'rkr.he is act entitled to a patent, nor will a palest
obtained under seek eircemstincee protect his right.*

same city, to potent, and pot ts pnhlie *jc. the im
provement from Ami, SdfiS, to Hay, ISB.viikct aay

before such appbeatlon • and I see no reason why aa
investor who has concealed his invention more thaa

on a better footing than the inventor above referred to.
