V The Texas Invasion. .’..{tt addition to the numerous other disorders Vrttiy&ich the country is afflicted, the attack ppBn fcrownsvllte, Texas, by tl® bandit Oof ximAft,• adds a new phase ot Verily, the «times are out of %e ‘ araUving in an era in which our National Government commands 7 Jo llttio respect that tho most contemptible adventu rers.hhve no scruples or fears in “sotting it at defiance. In China, while the leaders of a ■mighty insurrection were conquering province after province, until nearly half the country was under control,, the seronity of tho Gracious Brother of thb Sdn and Moon, who acled aa Emperor, and.of his chief advisers, was but , rarely disturbed $ and when they al lowed their sage minds to be concerned by the distracted condition of the Empire, their highest deeds of administrative wisdom were to odder the exeention of some general or official who’ had failed to accomplish impossi bilities. Onr'Natlonal Administration, deep ly impressed by the, wisdom of the Chinese example, has devoted, such exclusive atten tion te tho important,task of selecting victims for tho guillotine who are guilty of tho politi cal enormity of adhering to the anclont faith of the Democratic party, that but little time has been left for the discharge of minor offi cial duties. The existing Administration will be forever memorable in the history of the country by the peculiar distractions and dis turbances which prevailed during its exist ence. With the,Oxford and McGee frauds, in Kansas, and the infamous proceedings connected with tho Lecompton Constitution, it will be forever closely identified. Tho repeat ed filibustering expeditions against Nicaragua —the practical revival of the slave trade—the Utah rebellion—the greatest commercial re vulsion of modem times in our country, and the, ; disorder of tho national finances—the outbreak at Harper’s, Perry—tho creation of an unprecedented amount of angry sectional feeling—and tho general overthrow of tho De mocracy—are the most striking public events of the period commencing March 4, 1867, in the midst of tho destructive National Hotel epide mic, which destroyed many valuable lives. It would bo idle to suppose that any Government could have prevented all these occurrences, but it is not difficult to believe that, in some in stances at least, a direction might hare been given to public afl'airs that would have ren dered their effects far less disastrous than thoy now promise to' bo. The roported triumph of Cortihas over Brownsville is a character istic instance of the want of foresight which has marked the operations of the Federal Go vernment under the direction ofMr. Buchanan. For months that bandit has been prowling round that town, threatening to attack it, while its citizens hare been-pleading in rain for assistance. Had prompt measures been taken, the villain would have long since been arrested and:hung, or compelled to seek safety in' flight. But temporary success has omboldehed him. He has repeatedly robbed the mails; he has conquered the small bands sent against him ; and has so evidently held the American citizens in Brownsville in terror, that large fdrees of marauding Mexicans have been en- I conraged to join him; and ho now has under his command so formidable a force that it will [be a difficult and expensive task to subdue [him. After his unlawful proceedings had I been for a long time continued with impn. I oity, fitly United States troops were or- J dered to the scene of action, but the Browns | ville correspondent of the Picayune says they | cannot arrive there for months yet; and the I latest intelligence is, that the most available 1 hope of relief afforded to the citizens of our threatened frontier consists in tho offer of the filibuster Walker to fake command of a party for tlicir relief! Tho constitutional Com mander-in-Chicf of • tho armies 'of the United States having failed to discharge his official duties, through a pressure of political dolegato election and guillotlnc victim-selecting engagements, «tho gray-eyed man of destiny”- has kindly proposed to dis charge this important portion of Mr. Bu chanan's duties! If this experiment of par colling out tho Presidential functions suc ceeds, it is worthy of consideration whether It might not be advantageously extended. If the filibuster Waiker can best protect Texas, [equally advantageous arrangements might be made in other departments of tho public ser vice, and Mr. Buchanan left in peace and quietness to draw his'salary, to control dele gate elections, and to seek new political vic tims. Connect- pf Joim Brown at Charlestown, Va. Statements having appeared ip several jour nals to tho effect that great Indignation was felt at Charlestown, Va., against ail strangers, and that even the lives of tho counsel of tho prisoners wero endangered, Mr. Senhott called at our offico yesterday, to Bay, in justice to the people of Charlestown, that ho had been treated with much kindness, and to request onr publication of tho following card, which wo insert with great pleasure : Some one, apparently moved by spite against the people of Charlestown, va,, is circulating a report that they advised Cant. Brown’s counsel to leave the place. Now, if I hod no gratitude for real ser vices rendered to me by those people during the late exciting trials, common honesty would impel mo to contradict that report, bcoauso I know it is not trim. The foots are these: The people of Jefferson county are very much excited, and for the best of reasons. Throe largo fires, the last one consuming over twelve hundred bushels of wheat, bad ocourred up to last Saturday morning. Under these circumstances a mooting was held and a very oarefully-worded proclama tion drawn up and published by Mr. Green, the mayor, warning strangers giving no satisfactory account of themselves to leave the place. As X had important and well-understood business in the place and could have given a satisfactory account, even if I had been on avisitofmero curiosity,! felt sure it did not oonoern me, particularly as no steps had been taken to call my attention to it. Other strangers, however, who conld-have account ed for themselves as well os I, thought it applied to them, and very unadvisedly, as I think, ad dressed a Colonel Davis, himself a stranger in the flace, I believe, asking him what Ac thought of it. happened lobe in the room when ho entered. I listoned to the speeches on both sides in great tran quility of mind, and was preparing to leavo the gentlemen to themselves, with the remark that it aid not concern me at all, whoa Colonel Davis re marked that he did not know that he could an swer for my personal safety if I staid. To this I replied, very civilly, however, that my personal safety was my personal business, not his, and that I should not leave until I was quite roady. The conversation dropped there, and I romained—and I could have remained until now, if I desired it. It should be borne in mind that Colonel Davis did not volunteer his opinion, or intimate any thing until he was asked to do so, and then it was merely his opinion, privately expressed. How it Sot into the papers i do not know, but I am oonfi ent ho cannot be h.eld responsible for it. And, though mischief was often threatened by seme ill conditioned people, of whom Charlestown has its share, and from whom I believe Hew York and Philadelphia are not altogether freo, I will add that some of the very oKizons whose relations were killed at Harper's Ferry had sternly put down the very threat of it, by declaring that no outrage should be done to us Or any strangers, but over their own dead bodies. Guo. Senhott, Counsel for John Brown, and for A. D. Stevens. Buchanan on the Supreme Court* Tho Chicago Times, the organ of Judge Douglas, has hunted up an old speech, deli vered by President Bucilanan, of July 7th, 1841, when in the United States Senate, on tho Bank question; and insists that it proves him a believer “in tho doctrines of Lincoln, Se -wabd, Ossawatomie Bbowh, &c. “ Now, if it were not unparliamentary langungo, and if I did not desire to treat all my friends on this (Whig) sido of the House with tho rospect which X foot for them, X would say that tho idea of the question having been sottled so as to bind the consciences op members of Congress when voting on the present bill, is RIDICULOUS AND AB SURD.

THE PRESS—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDA] letter Horn “Occasional.” [Oorretpoadence of The Press.] Washington, Nov. 15,,1859, How hopeless the positioh of'iho Democratic party will be in 1860, if compelled to follow the line marked tint for it by tho Federal Administration, thejfollSSfniisxtraot from a speech deltvoiedby the Vice President attheTippcoanoe battle-ground, Lafayette, Indiana, on tho 3d of December, 1850, ’will show -. • -J- ' i - ' ", - , “He had heard it ohnrged that the fifteen slave States were conspiring.to obtain entire possession of the Gsoe ral Government, with & view of bringing its power to bear to extend end perpetuate their peouliaf institu tions. lam conneoted with no party that has for its object the extension of slavery, nor with any to prevent the people of a State or Territory from deciding tke ques- - tion of t*ts existence or non-existence with them for themselves. I happened to be in Concrete when tke ffe~- braska bill passed, and gave ft trtv voice and my vote be cause it did what it did—viz: it acknowledged the right of the people of the Tetritortfto setlle the question for themselves, and not because I supposed, xchat Ido not now believe, that it legislated slavery into the Territo ries. Tho Democratic party is not a pro-slavery party; it is neither pro-slavery nor anti-slavery.” ' In addition to this, I might quote from tho speeches of every leading Democrat, North apd South, previous to, and during that campaign, taking even stronger ground than that assumed by the Dotnocratie candidate for Vico Prosidcnt. It waa not that the people of the Territories should act upon slavery when they camo to form a State Constitution, but that the wholo suhjeot should bo committed to them daring their Territorial condi tion. This was the principle—a sacred, a funda mental, and an enduring principlo—one which, whatever may be said to the contrary, ia certain to become an overruling issuo next year, and one, too, whiob, if cot now settled upon a firm basis, will enter into all our campaigns at every sucooeding Presidential eteotion. Imagino what a spec taclo a Northern Democrat would occupy, plaoed upon the hustings, and compelled to advocato a thoory exactly the reverse to that sot forth by Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. Buohunan, Mr, Cobb, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Orr, Mr. Stephens, and Mr. Toombs! How much chance would ho stand before an intelligent audience, opposed by an able and adroit Republican like Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, or William L. Dayton, of New Jersey, or David Wilmot, ot Pennsylvania? Ho would be beaten to the earth with tho weapons fur nished to his adversary by bis own friends. Honest Democrats would turn away in shame from such an exhibition, and the spirit of our groat party would be broken before we had been three weeks in tho battik. In 1844, the Democratic party suffered im measurably under the unfounded charge that a double g&mo was contemplated in regard to the tariff issue. Hundreds and thousands of men were lost to our candidates, because they were induced to believe that Mr. Buohnnan- and Mr. Polk had united in the declaration that the latter was a better tariff man than Henry Clay. A very dif ferent state of things would now be presentod; for, covered all over with pledges, os we are, on a much higher and holier principle, wo should bo forced by the Administration, and the extreme men of tho South, to stultify ourselves, to repudiate our own written obligations, and to stand up in the face of day and argue against that which, ever sinco 1850, wo have contended was tho only way upon whioh permanently and constitutionally to adjust tho slavery question In the Torritorios. Then wo should learn how bitterly we have suf fered, because tho officials of the Administration had succeeded in capturing our organisation, and in subordinating and sacrificing our croed. When the people vote no office-holders can control the ballot-box, no paoked committees can simulate a fair expression of publio opinion. The wrongs per petrated by the dependants of power in tho pri mary elections will then be avenged, and the tricks and inconsistencies of leaders will then bo pu nished. It is.ln vain. to s&y that this quostion is settled. It is tho most shameless/ absurdity to assert that those of us who are standing by the covenants of tho party aro dividing it by making this issue an open ono. If wo were ready in the North to say that it is settled, and that it shall not be opened, the South, writh ing under tho sense of real or imaginary grievances, will not have it settled, and will reopon it. lam not now seeking for the responsible authors of tho Harper’s Ferry tragedy ; I am only alluding to foots as they exist. Let the managers of conven tions and ot candidates look to it, lest in their ef forts to please an Administration, and to yield to the extreme demands of extreme men, thoy do cot utterly bankrupt tho noblest political organisation on tho face of the earth. Tho people of California are deeply interested in the action of the appro&ohing Congress on the ab sorbing question of the Paolfio Railroad. They are always, and in many eases justly, asking legis lation at tho hands of Congress. Tho fate of Bro derick, however, and tho mannor in whioh, since his death, the Administration party in California and Oregon have assailed bis memory, will oreato a very strong feeling against California when she makes her usual demands from the representatives of tho people. This should not bo, and I sincerely trust that Mr. Broderick’s friends will tako no course inconsistent with that which he himself would hare pursued, were ho now in tho land of the living. In my Monday’s letter I am made to say that “ the New York Tribune is not one of the most popular of the Eastern journals.” I desired to write, and thought 1 <****» ** wnB one of tho most popular of the Eastern journals in tho Southern States. It is a trifling error, but I do not desire to bo misunderstood, even in such a matter as this. Occabioxal. Public Amusements. Wai,xut-strebt Tjibatrb.—Great curiosity was exioted by tho announcement of tl Guy Mnnnor ing” at the Walnut, for “ Guy M&nnering” moans Meg Merrihes , and Meg Mernlies, in the minds of most of the audienco, means Charlotte Cushman. No ono had a doubt but that Mrs. Walior’s gonius would bo fully equal to this great trying pArt, but all (unconsciously, perhaps) went with tho idea of making a comparison between the two great artists; the one now almost of tho past, tho other, fortu nately, of the present. From tho first moment of gipsy’sappoaranco allideas of comparison were, however, at an end; memories wero All lost sight of, for Mrs. Waller is so utterly differon t that it Is oven out of the question to decide which is the greatest. Both uro grand idßilratlons—inspira tions of two women of genius. To begin with tho beginning, the mako up is tho most extraordinary transformation that the stago ovor produced. Who would recognise tho me.iestio Geraldine under the fearful features, the old, broken form, and tho scanty rags of this fearful vision? Ono magnifioont touch of nature Mrs. Waller has Infused Into this fearful weird the rcmembr&noo of her dftys of womanhood, when she was not forevor divided from hope and homo. Mrs. Wal ler conceives that the power of the gipsy is the power of tho mind. That haa preserved her authori ty and fearful influence; but age has marched for her, as well as others, on its inexorable course, and her voioe, accordingly, is weak, broken, and trem bling, This, however, is a performance that oannot bo analysed; the Impression left is so foarful,so awful, that, Instead of being inclined to analyzo, ono feds os one would aftor some unearthly appari tion. It is impossible, seeing Meg only once, to describe the feelings which enwrap ono like a charmed at mosphere. It ought to bo playod again. The suc cess of the pieoo will suggest it to the manage ment. The whole piece was admirably east. The muslo agreeably oxoouted by Miss Wilkes, Mrs. Cowell, and Mr. Keach. Mr. Perry was a capital Dinmont. Mr. Vining Bowers did not comprehend the part of tho Dominie. To return to Mrs. Waller—for Mog haunts ono yet—as we get from the charm, wo begin to think over particular points. Mrs. Waller makes Meg a much more aged woman than eho has been before depleted; that, howevor, contrasts artistically with the mental strength and tho despotic power she holds. It is noodlesß to say that Mrs. Waller’s death scene was harrowing and awfully true. Her power in dopioting death is ,well known—tho Duohess of Malfi dwells on every momory. Thus the fall of the javf, the glazing of tho oye, the dis tortion of tho features, tho lost convulsive strugglo of the muscles in Agony, wore all marvellous to be hold. We repeat, this is indeed a fearful and wonderful performance. Mrs. Waller will play lmogcne this evening, Mr. Waller appearing as Bertram, Academy op Music.—This evening the sisters Natali will make their second appearance in Opera, Inthisoity. The operas selected are “Luorezia Borgia” and “ElisiroD’Amore,” with a Spanish duetto by Franoesoa Natali and Signor Roooo, in which they croated a furor in South Amerloa and Havana. It is very gratifying to us Philadelphians to be able to chronicle the groat success of those two American prime .donne, when all Mr. UU man’s late European importations have so utterly failed. It was in Philadelphia that G&zzaniga first made her reputation as a great lyric artist, and we are proud that the fair sisters Natali mode their debut at our Academy of Music, and received such signal marks of enthusiastic favor.

MitohelPs oponing lecture of the course, beforo tho Young Mon’s Christian Association, the remaindor of which aro to bo delivered In that hall on tho evenings of November 22d,20th, and 29th. Tho looturor, nfterbeing introduced to tho audlenco by Goorgo H. Stuart, Ksq., commenced his subject by saying that bo rose under circumstances of peculiar embarrassment In attempting to nddreas his au dience. Although he was about to treat four dis tinot topics In his present courso, and all different from those ho had alroady disoussed in Philadel phia, yet ho felt that the trontment of a great scientific subjeot required a more extended conse cutive series than the* lecture-going community secraod willing to toloratc from tho sumo lecturer. In tho present discourse he wished to tako up our Planetary system, mainly to show its stability, and that its equilibrium could never bo disturbed. The particular themes of tho threo remaining lectures woro also stated in this oonneoUon, and wo opine that fow persona who heard the first will willingly | omit hearing the remaining threo. j Thoro was a time, said tho speaker, when tho eye of man looked out upon tho oelestlftl universe only with amusement. In the pootry of tho He brews wA read, “ Tho heaverts declaro tho glory of God and the firmament sboweth his handiwork.” This, said ho, was a prophecy, and ono which, through the discoveries of science, had shoo tho days of tho Hebrew Ring found a glorious fulfil ment. Ilia attention was first directed to the earth, in its rotation to the magnificent superstructure of the heavens abovo us. Tho laws of motion wore noxt considered, regu lated as thov are by tho projectile forces, and thoso of gravitation. In this part of his subject the movoments of the hoavenly bodies wore explained i by tho leoturor, as also the groat laws discovered ] by Newton. The lattor wore presented with much force, and simplified in such a tnamior as to h<\ easily understood by oven the most unscientific of his auditors. The golden key, whioh, in tho hands of Newton’s genius, bad unlooked the problem of the universe, was portrayed with a degree or elo quence worthy the theme, and showed how com pletely the soul of tho lecturer was itnmoraod in his subject. The mathematical reasoning employed by Nowton was reviewed and explained by verbal illustrations. A very remarkable fact was boro related by tjie lecturer, who said that bo had not long since mot, in tho city of St. Louis, a man of groat soientiile attainments who for forty years had been engaged in Egypt in deciphering the hieroglyphics of the auoients. This gcntlomnn had stated to him that he had lately unravelled tho inscriptions upon the coffin of a mummy, now in tho London Museum, and that In which, by the aid of previous obs erva tions, he had discovered tho key to all tho astro* nomlc knowledge of tho Egyptians. The zodiac, with tho exact positions of the planets, was deline ated on this coffin, and the date to which they pointed was the autumnal exquinox in the year 1722, before Christ, or nearly thirty-six hundred years ago. Professor Mitchell employed i bis assistants, to asoortain the exnot position of the heavenly bodicß belonging to our solar eystom on the equinox of that year (1722 B. C.,) and sent him a correct diagram of thorn, without having communicatod his ohjoct in doing so. In compliance with this tho calculations were made, and to his astonishment on comparing the result with tho statements of his scientific friend ; already reforred to, it was found that, on the 7th of October, 1722 B. C., tho moon and planets had oooupied tho exact points tn the. heavens markod upon the ooffin in tho London Museum. Celestial Machinery was tho most expressive term that could possibly be applied to the hea- 1 venly bodies in their movements. If we looked upon a clock with all its wheots and hands, we should find muoh to admire in its complicate, yet exaet machinery. The myriads of celestial orbs' that traverse immensity, wero said to bo a clock also, which in Its mighty movements marked : the seconds, minutes, and hours, upon tho dial plate of eternity. The speaker was new ready to take up the oarth j —the planet in whioh we, as its inhabitants, were n&turaliy most interested. Through countless ages our globe had boon revolving around the sun with a precision so accurate that through all time it had not varied tho thousandth part of a second. Tho oarth, it was said, had now reached a figuro of equilibrium. Its rotary movement tended to force j upward in tbo direction of tho equator, and bonoe we find it elevated at tho equator and flattened at j 1 the poles. Tho effect of tbo oentrifagol and eentri. petal forces, by which revolving bodies are re tained in theirorblts, was illustrated, and admi rably explained, by the movements and figuro op the plauot on which we lire. Tho conditions of equilibrium, as existing be tween the earth and tho moon, wore nlso hero re ferred to. Thore wm evidenoo of the most un doubted character that the moon was gradually approaching the earth, and that it had been for the last eight or ton thousand years. The earMfj of this phenomenon wore sufficiently ascertained, yet wo could not but see that if this approach ing movement of the moon was not .eventually uio animate destruction of the earth by a collision must bo inevitable. It 1 was by tho existing records of eclipses thousands of years ago that this approach was made apparent. But what of tho ulUmute ehango that must onsuo t This movement was occasioned by tho acceleration of the moon’s motion in her orbit, the teudenoy of which was to bring the orbit of tho earth to a per fect cirolo; and a* soon as this was accomplished by tho laws of motion and gravitation, tho movement of tho moon would tbon bo changed from aocolcra tion to retardation, and must so contiuuo until tho opposito extreme is reached. But he had now come to a higher theme. The law of gravitation told us that evory particle of matter in the universe exerted an influonco over overy othor partUdo. The laws by which the universo was govornud were indeed marvellous; but wo must not supposo that Uod could not have governed tho univorso without law if it had been his plea sure to do so. What law was there, said tho lec turer, that regulated the movements of tho cloudr in tho aerial heavens above us? What law con. trolled tho zephyr which moved the tender flower at our foot, or that directed tho tornado wh : , h wrenched from its mighty baso tho gnarled orb i Not, said he, j& little paradoxically wo thb.k,] that thcro teas not some undiscoveicd lax ■ by which these elements were eoutrol/ed, yet ft oujht not bo doubted that Omnipotoneo could hnvo rvgu- { lated the wholo without law had it been his pm j pose. Tho argument in favor of the stability und | perpetuity of tho planotnry system was demon strated with consummate skill. In conclusion, wc mny say, that a wonder, sonreely less remarkable than those dwelt upon by the lecturer, is tho fact that a subject so dry, complex, and hatefully sta tistical, and treated withal with gravity as rigid as tho laws of gravitation aro unyielding, should be rendered ns entertaining to a popular audience as this leoture evidently was to all who hoard it. The lecturer spoke entirely without notes, and was greeted with markod applause, which we may add, was bestowed with moro than ordinary disorimiua tlon. For a Jifly-cenl lecture it was a great suc cess. Sale of Real Estate, Stocks, &c The following sa los were made at tbo Philadelphia Rx ob&ngo yesterday by M.

Curry and .Tulin Alexander had a hearing be fore Rcoorder Epou, ye.storday afternoon, on tho charge of conspiring to oxtort money from ocrtaln parties. According to tho allegations of tho Com monwenUh, which was represented st tho hearing by District Attorney Mann, tho facts appear as follows: Robert L. Curry is an alderman in the Twenty-fourth ward, and, while exercising tho functions of that position, ho mAdo an agreemont with Alexander to visit certain taverns and public houses, drink any boverngo they might have for sale, pay for it, and then enter suit against tho keepers of tho houses In pursuance of this ar rangement, some twenty taverns were visited by Alexander and ft man not on tho bearing, named Oliver. Charges wore brought before tho aldor mnn against them, and. under an assumed process of law, a sum of money was obtained. Tho tavern koopors who were fined made an oath, detailing the circumstances, beforo tho Kcrordor on whoso warrant they were taken in custody by Officers Carlin and Trefts, of tho Recorder’s force. At tho hearing, ovidenco to a voluminous extent was elicited. Mrs. Doughorty testified that she was an inn keeper in tho lower portion of tho city; that she received a summons from Alderman Curry requir ing hor to appear and nnswor tho chnrgo of selling liquor on Sunday; that aho appealed and was told by the alderman that tho caso might bo settled with Alexander for $25; she did not pay that sum, ! but, on the contrary, pnld tho alderman $3.50, tho , 'mount of his cnni?; Alexander told her ho did not !:now sho was a widow or ho would not have ap peared ngninst her; sho heard no more of tho case. Or. tho cross-examination Mrs. Dougherty admitted that her houso hud been open on Sundays, but re fused to answer whether she had Hold liquor or not. Thomas Wood testified that ho was tho proprietor of a tavern in Brunt street. Ho got a summons from Curry to answer tho charge preferred against Mrs Dougherty. He appeared and underwent a hearing. After the hearing, ho received a mes sage from Alexander, asking an interview at Franklin Fquitro. Ho complied, and, on seeing Alexander, ho was told hy him that the ease might ho Fettled for twenty-five dollars. 4 As there were three oases, including that of Wood’s, ho offered to settle tho whole for Sf 9. Ho refused tho offer of Alexander, and hud judgment entered against him for twenty-fivo dollar*. Jle went to geo the alder- man subseuuenlly, and was told by him that ns llicro were twenty cases of a similar character, tho best thing thov could do would bo to make up a purge of two hundred dollars, and thus end the mftttor. Ho paid tho alderman twenty dollars ns tho condition of having Mr. Ihucnberry, another : tavern-keeper, and lilrasolf released from tho pro secution After paying the money he hoard no rooro of the case. On being cross-examined, ho de clined answering whether ho had sold liquor or not on Sunday, ns tho answer might subject him to pu nishment. A number of other'tavcrß-koepers testified to tho same stnto of facts. Edward G. Carlin, of tho Recorder's force, wns sworn, lie stated that, in company with Officer Traits, ho arrested Alexander and, Curry ; he found Alexander nt Curry’s office ; Curry obtained bail, but Alexander whs sent to prison; ho visited him In prison, at his own request; Alexander told him that he wns in this city, that ho was out of work and out of monoy; that one dny, while in tho Twchty-fourth ward, ho paseod Curry’s office, and on entering found a crowd, who were witness ing a hearing; nftor tho hearing was over Curry | oallod him to one side and asked nim if ho was out of work; on receiving an affirmative reply tho alderman told Alexander that there was a good way to rnako monoy by visiting tho taverns on Sunday and appearing against them; Alexander suggested that it wns a mean way of doing busi ness, hut finally consented, nt the solicitations of Curry; he raised a sum of money by this means, part of which ho appropriated, the remainder go- j ing to Curry. He expressed to Mr. Carlin a do- 1 sire to confess his wholo share in the transaction, and said ho wag led to it by a want of money and work. Mr. Mann said the affair revealed a lamentable stale of affairs among the minor judiciary of Phi ladelphia. Ho felt justified by the ovidenee in having tho defondants committed to answer the j chnrgo nt court. | Tho Recorder then held them each in the sum I of ono thousand dollars bail to answer tho charge at court.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Money Market. Pmi'AncM'jiiA, November 15, 1859. The meeting, on Monday last, before the Audi' tor of the account ot tho trustees of the Bank of Pennsylvania, was unusually well attended, every clasa of creditors being represented. The Attor ney General presented the claim of the Common wealth, in a speech ewncing great ability and re search, preaiing upon tho Auditor the priority of tho claim of tho Commonwealth. He regards the unpaid taxes upon tho dividends for 185 T, and on tho capital stock for tho same year, a 3 stated and sottled by the Auditor General and State Treasu- rer, under the provisions of the act of April, 1844 in the nature of a ohargo upon the real and per sonal property of tho concern, binding it in the bands of the assignees, and to bo first paid by them to tho oxolurion of all other claims whatsoever, out of such nssots as can bo converted into par funds. George M Wharton, Esq . on behalf ot the British ho«3o holding the famous fifty thousand pounds sterling bill, which hears tho endorsement of tho bank, mado an exceedingly ingenious argu ment to show that none of the laws providing for a preference to noteholders and depositors os against general creditors, were applicable to the Bank of Pennsylvania, which failed and made an assign ment while acting under an extension of its char ter, granted prior to the passage of any of the laws providing for such preferences. If the prin ciple of equality, so skilfully urged by Mr. Whar ton, should be adopted by the Auditor, and sus tained by the Supreme Court, and the elaim of the city banks for a dividend upon the full amount of their original olalms (without reference to the sums realised by them from the collateral securi ties turned over to them by Mr. Allibono, without, as is alleged, the assent or even tho knowledge of tho Board of Directors,) should bo established, tho gross amount of claims against tho fund in tke bunds of the assignees will be swollen to a sum exceeding two millions of dollars. Inasmuch as a preference to tho notes and de posits. if allowed by the Auditor and sustained by the Supreme Court, would render the proof of any other claims against the bank unnecessary, it was suggested by tho counsel for tho assignees, 6L (Icorgo Tucker Campbell, Eisq., and assented to by Mr. Wharton and V. L. Bradford, Benjamin Gerhard and Charles 11 Lex, »jrs., repre senting the city banks, that the argument before the Auditor, ns to the claims represented by these gentlemen, should be deferred until the second ac count of the fl.vdg'ices, embracing the proceeds of tho banking-house in Chestnut street, should come before the Aud'tor for adjustment—learing the comparatively small amount of par funds, included in tho first a-,, ount, to be distributed-without refer ence to the claims represented by these gentlemen respectively. Tho effeot ot this arrangement will be to avert unnecessary litigation and expense, and procure an early settlement of «yme. at least, of the vexatious difficulties arising out of tho curiously complicated affairs of this most unfortunate wreck. At the stock board to-day there was no change to report in prices, excepting a sale of West Phila delphia Railway stock at 58, and another of G reen and Coates-streets at 25.

Fcr Rbason.—The ecasouable temporature of the last fewdtjs h.w induced umtsual activity m the various branches of our rotad trade, and t > no branch does this apply more particularly than to the Fur depart ment. The splendid palatial establishment of Mr. (viorgc F. Womrath, No?. 415 and 417 Arch street, now presents su;na of unusual activity in this line of our l,u?.ness houses. We speak of this house more especial ly from its roprceeotativa character, being not only the laadmt Fur ostabl sl.ment in Philadelphia, but is in many particulars unrivalled m this country. Purinq many jears Mr. Womrath has occupied a kind of na tional position among furriers, having, in fact, for a considerable period, it may be said, actually controlled the fur market of this country. Ihe prestige whioh this position secured to him m vtoadily becoming more mani fest in his large increase of trade. His stock of furs at this tirno.of the finer nnd more expensive grades more especially, is really magnificent, as we discovered in a visit to In? ware-roonn yo3terdaj. Such an imposing arTav of choice furs, in all the varieties, made up in every ttjlo.xvo had never l*efore exam nod, and, not withstanding the “stiinnina’* prices which some of the sets command, it is unquesUonabl) true that Ins prices, Av thf 'funt quality of furs, are much than they «ro .’sini!) sold, from the advantage which Mr. Wom nth iiossesscs m the purohaseof lus skins. He is hi* own importer, and tho stock which he now offers ha* been mainly selected by himself in European markets. •‘Personal Power, and its Voices.”— Thero is a novelty about this subject, which in the hands of a in in of Starr King’s genius can hardly, in its treat ment in a lecture, prove other than highly entertaining and instructive. It will bo remembered that this is tho subject upon which tho Rev. Mr. Knur, of Boston, is to hold forth to-morrow evening iu Concert Hall, under ill" auspice? ot that popular Society, the Peopled Lite rary Institute. From certain polemical engagements which Mr. King’s name is pronnaentlj connected with in tins country, there is a universal desire to see tht wan, and to such we would say, b> all means go; ss he is, without exception, ono of the most accomplished of our modem locturo-board champions. A (loon Idea.—lt has just been reported that a Foeiot) is forming m the upper rart of the city, com posed of hdics, the object of which is to secure concert of action among them upon tho subject of mal r ng their husban-ls Christum* yrrun’s.
