The sloop* of-var St. Marys bad entered the harbor of Gaay mas. On Oaptain Porter finding that Cot. Aldon, the noting United . States consul lit the absence of Jodge Bose, was neither recognised nor permitted to hoist the American colors, he immediately order* ed n flagstaff to be ereoted over the oonsol’s office, and hoisted a flag. As Captain Porter notified the prefect that It should hot be taken down without a fight, It was left undisturbed. He subsequently had an unihtUfaotory interview with Governor Pos quiera, in which he protested against the treatment received by Oaptain Stone’s party. The St. Marys would probably remain to aid Captain Ewell in ad justing the difficulties with Pesquiera. The steamer Gladiator reaohed Halifax on Satur day, with the rematnining passengers and crew of the Indian. Five others, supposed lost, were picked' bp by tho British schooner Wave, and brought into Boston. The Indian has gone to pieces, only a small part of her stem being now visible. The mails have been saved, but the cargo is a total loss.- Twenty seven persons have perished by this oalamity, none of whose bodies have been recovered. Hone of the oabinpassengers perished. A few of the names of Buoh as are known to be lost are given elsewhere. The weather was hazy, and the Indian gone ;at a rato of eight knots an hour when she struck on the ledge, which was so violent that she tore off her bottom and filled almost im mediately. The captain, it appears, was deceived in the soundings, and supposed he was off Cape Sable. Later news from California has been received by the overland mail'at Bt. Louis, and the steamer Baltio at New York. Judge Terry has been in dicted by the Grand Jury of San Francisco, for killing Senator Broderiok; he was placed , under $lO,OOO bonds. New dieooverios of silver were being constantly made in tho Washo Valley mines. The Grand Jury of Carson Valley had submitted a report to Judge Cradlebangb, oomplaining of the outrages on the immigrants by the Mormons, and o&Uing for remedial legislation on the part of Con groM. A letter from the resident physician of the Utioa Asylum, dated the 21st, says that Gcrrit Smith continues to improve. On the previous evening ho slept six hours continuously. He has begun to realize his condition fnlly, and appreciates the im portance of his medical treatment, as well as ao. quiesoes In all the means usod for his restoration. Information from Peterboro is to the effect that his family regard his cure as certain. The Washington papers Jof (Saturday contain re ports of the late “ sedition” case in Washington eity. It was founded upon an angry argument on the prevailing topio of the Harper’s Ferry out break. The Statet and Union says: "According to the evidence, the parties present; at the time of the alleged Offence were Hr. Breed, ' Dr. Van Camp, and Mr. Goorgo Stabler; that the meeting was purely accidental; Drs. Breed and Van Camp, although for a long period near neigh bors, beooming personally acquainted for the first' time; and that the language complained of was used in Mr. Stabler’s room, to which Dr. Breed had gone with the obieot of hiring a horse and car riage for the use of himself and wife on the follow ing day. “Mr. Stabler was at the time occupied in writ ing, and after making the other gentlemen ao qnainted, did not pay special attention to the con versation, which lasted upwards of twenty mi nutes, but at l&ajtbeoame attracted by tho acrimony and exoitement mutually manifested. “ The discussion, os was elicited, had in the first Elace been general and on the subject of spiritual im, psyhcology, and others rather bordering on 1 the abstract, until itbranohed on to the more practi cal theme of the Harper’s Ferry foray—on which both parties, taking derided and opposito grounds warmed np until & physical * irrepressible conflict’ was imminent. “ The general provocation toward this .was through the alleged assertion by Dr. Van Gamp, who quoted from a speech attributed to Seward, 1 thatfce would shoot any man who dared to aso snob language in his presonoo,’ or words to that effect. “This was immediately responded to by Dr. Breed, saying ( be dared do so,’ and repeating the objectionable language, it Is alleged he declared it t to express his sentiments.. “ Angry and hitter words appear to have suc ceeded this, until Dr, Van Gamp told Dr. Breed that In the event of any troublo here of tho Har~ par’s Ferry nature, he should look after.him (Dr. B.) the first thing. “ The interference of Mr. Stabler, and tho natn ' ral good sense of tho others returning, a proposi tion was mado to quiet the discussion, and separata amicably, and the parties soon after parted. “ The arrest of Dr. Breed was due, apparently, to the paragraph whioh appeared in our issue of Wednesday, which, attracting the attention of Justice Donn, who, on farther inquiry, deeming the matter one of great importance at. the present time, and demanding judicial investigation, pro cured and placed in the hands of Offioer King a warrant for Dr. Breed’s arrest, which resulted in his being held to bail to appear for tho examina tion had yesterday.” On Friday afternoon the hearing took place. Dr. Breed appeared before Justice Donn without coun sel, and was informed that he was arraigned on the charge of seditious language, inciting to rebellion. The Justice informed him that, though he thought there were no statutes In force in the Distriot in re spect to “sedition,” such as alleged, yit that “ Chap, xxi, sec. 1697,'Iiatrobe’s Justice,” covered / the case. The seotion referred to provides for pro cess ifi view of possible or prospective breaoh of the peace, and is of latitudlnous construction. 'At the hearing the States and Union says: “ Mr. Stabler being called and sworn, stated in substance, tbaton the evening in question, whilst Dr. Van Camp was in his room. Dr. Breed oallod, and soon engaged In conversation with Dr. *Van Camp; that he (S.) was sitting at a table,-writing, and aid not pay much attention at first to their conversation, until the Harper’s Ferry and John Brown topio was introduced, when he heard Dr. Breed make the remark that‘ho believed Brown and Cook had done right;’ that Van Gamp then asked Breed if he endorsed Beward’s statement, bat did not reoolleot the nature of the reply. He considered then they were both too angry and ex cited to know what they were talking about, and that the subject was so foggy be could not keep track of it. 80 much was said about Abolitionism, ‘ John Brown, Ac ,he found it impossible to pat the subject togethor. “He formed the opinion that Dr. Breed, in the heat of the disoussion, lost, or came near losing, all his Quakerism, and reiterated his belief that noi ther party knew what he was talking about. He testified very positively that both gentlemen shook handf at parting, contradicting very flatly, in this ' respect, the evideuco of Dr. Van Camp. “Dr. Breed now disrialms all thought or inten tion at any time of using any euoh language attri buted to him outside of a private room. “ Michael Green bring called and sworn, Justice Donn asked him If he had seen Dr. Breed in con versation at any Ume with one of the slaves, and Green replied that he saw Dr. B. talking to ono of bis boys onco. “The question was put, ‘When was this?’"and answered, ‘ About flvo years ago,’ Ao.; when, it being fonnd that he knew nothing of more recent date, bis farther examination was suspended. “ The justices here declared the examination dosed, and. after a brief conference, held Dr. Breed to bail in the sum of $2,000 to keep the peace and be of good behavior for the period of twelve months. “Dr. Breed and his brother-in-law, S. J. Brown, immediately gave the required security, and left the court. “The court-room, of limited capacity, as well as the sidewalk in front, was densely crowded during the investigation, bat the concourse quietly dis persed as soon as the derision was rendered.” Before a general court martial assembled on the 17th ultimo, at Fort Kearney, Nebraska Territory, Capt. George W. Hazsard, of the Fourth Regi ment of Artillery, was arraigned and tried oh the following charges: First, that he bad violated the . 18th Artiele of War; and second, that he h&d con ducted himself In a manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. After a full and Impartial hearing, the accused was honorably acquitted by • the court, and by order of Col, B. V.- Sumner, was granted the liberty to avail himself of the sick leave heretofore granted him. Tho Norfolk (Va.) Herald of Saturday says: “We understand that orders have been received here from Richmond, instructing the various vol unteer companies to hold themselves in readiness to take up the line of march, at an hour’s notice. The reception of this order caused a meeting of several of the companies yesterday evening, who decided upon a signal which is to caU them all to gether at a half hour’s notice This signal Is to be produced by three taps upon tho oity bell.” Advices from New Mexico to the 7th Inst, state that Colonel Fanntleroy had arrived at Santa Fe and assumed command of the department. The Indians still continued their depredations on the mall afld emigrant trains. Major French, agentof the Treasury Department f<s tho extension of the Capitol buildings, was ar rested, in New York, on Saturday, by a deputy United States marshal, and taken to Washington. A despatch from New York states that Commo dore Vanderbilt has bought out the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for $2,000,000. The shoplifters, John Fox, Alla O. Franklin, Mary Achesten, and Mary Baker, who were ar retted,ln this city on the 10th Inst., and taken to ' Easton for trial, were found guilty on Saturday. A condensed acoount of the confession of John E.

Kirby, ot the ship Uncdwah, off Cape Horn.

We not only appreciate their sensitiveness, but we respect it. •. Wocan Reasonably realize their situation in tho midst of an unexpected assahlt ‘upoto their families and their interests, aiid eari' account for tho apprehensions which have resulted from this event. Like thousands in tho free Statos, we fltand ready to sustain tho South in all her just rights, apd especially to defend, her against the secret or public assaults of her enemies. But wo think the Richmond JSnqturer, in Us anxioty still further to arouse the resentment of its own people, commits a grave mistake when, in discussing the temper ot tho North ern mind, it covers with suspicion and doubt many of the most devoted friends oi the Union, and as such many of those most anx ious to promote tho welfare of Virginia. The following extract from tho Enquirer of Friday last is a'specimen of tho lato editorials of that journal: “ What have the Governors of Pennsylvania and Ohio done to protect a sister State from the law lessness of their own people? And what has tho President of the United States done to guard a so vereign State from lawless invasion? Nothing! We hare been left to our own resources, just as though Ohio and Pennsylvania wore hostile States to Virginia, and as though no Confederation exist 'od. The silence of the Executives of these States, and of the Uoloo, Is almost a taoit admission that the Confederacy baa virtually oeasod to exist, and that each State must protect its own sovereignty. “ Wo cannot understand this ominous silenoo. Here is a State of the Union arming her pcoplo and assembling her foroes; other Southern States ten dering the aid of their military, and all the prepa rations of aotual war on foot, and the Governors of adjacent States issue no proclamations warning their people to desist from unlawful schemes, oj which they have been duty informed by the letters of their own citizens ; and the Executive of tho Federal Union sits a silent and indifferent spectator to tho marshaling of hostile forces. “We sinoeroly hope these efficient Executives may not ho disturbed, by a collision at Charlestown, but should suoh an event arouso thorn from their singular indifference, they will have themselves to blame.” The Enquirer forgets that Governor Wibe not only took great pains to rejyuko tho pcoplo of Harper’s Ferry for their conduct in yield ing to John Brown and his corporal’s guard, but that hb caused it to ho announced, to nil tho sovereign States of tho Union, “ that Vir ginia could take care of herself.” Ever since these demonstrations, the I&ecutive of tho “Old Dominion” has employed himself in rallying tho military of tho State to Charles town, and wo think it is within tho very recent recollection of our readers that he stated his purpose to resist the original intention of the FederalGorernmentto try tho offenders, John Brown and his associates, In the Federal courts of Virginia, and declared his determi nation to adjudicate the cases before the local courts of that State. Now, when it is remembered that no Gover nor of any free State manifested a Teadier pur pose to interpose for the protection of Virgi nia against her enemies than Governor Packer of Pennsylvania, the injustice and absurdity of the comment of the Enquirer may bo appre ciated. He met tho requisition of Governor Wise for the marauder, Coox, at once, and we were not at all surprised that his action in the premises should have been so warmly applaud ed by the people of Virginia themselves. Judge Graham, of Carlisle, acted in the same spirit when the case of Hazlktt was brought before him, refusing to discharge him until the insufficiency of tho evidence was fully sup plied. Theso facts, togethor with the uni versally admitted sentiment of Pennsylvania against the Brown and Cook marauders, seem to have been coolly forgotten by the .Enquirer in its endeavor to discover some more persons in the North upon whom to bestow its cen- There is such a thing as carrying a good cause to extremes. The people of Pennsyl vania are as much indisposed to tho ridiculous as tho people of Virginia, and, whatever the Richmond Enquirer may flay, wo should be very sorry to see the Governor of this sove reign State making himself an object of satire by extemporaneous exhibitions ot his dispose tion to serve Virginia in the fuco of the repeat ed advertisements of Governor Wise, that “ the Old Dominion can take care of herself.” The sentiment of horror which thrilled all the Southern States after the Harper’s Ferry tra gedy was felt in a nearly equal degree in the Northern States, and no doubt there would have been an instantaneous movement in the matter, had not Governor Wise and his friends taken special pains to assure tho country that “tho blood of Douglas can protect itself.” And we further believo that much of the panic which appears to have seized upon the good people of Charlestown sinco tho conviction and sentence of Brown and his confederates, is the result of the efforts of politicians who seem to think that tho more violently they can fan the tiame of fanaticism in their midst, the more certain they will be to mount into office. We do not beliove that thero is any purpose, such as the Enquirer intimates, to attempt tho resoue of John Brown on tho 2d of Decem ber. We do not believe that any body of men would make such an experiment, especially m view of tho somewhat formidable preparations of tho military of that gallant State. John Brown will moet his fate, whether a s a bad man or as a madman, with comparative little sympathy. Our own belief is that he should not be executed; but if the seeds of future ex citement aro' planted on his tomb, wo do not doubt it will be found that they were placed tbero as well by his Southern enemies as by his Northern sympathisers. Captain Brady* To commemorate the actions and trace the character of worthy Pennsylvanians, appears to us as the peculiar province, if not tho actual duty, of a leading journal published in the actual metropolis of the State. Therefore, wo have great pleasure in publishing tho roman tic yet actual incidents in tho lifo of Captain Bradt, an old Pennsylvania Hero, several por tions of which have appeared in Tjie Press during the past week. Captain Brady is fortunate in a biographer fully acquainted with the various phases of his most adven turous life, and we gladly, and even proudly, acknowledge our obligations to the writer of the sketches of his career, which, we know, have excited no ordinary interest in tho minds of a majority of our readers. The annalist of Captain Brady and his remarkable deeds chooses to conceal bis name, but we may men tion, without betraying his incognito, that he is a gentleman well known os a writor for tho proas, and highly distinguished as a politician. Lecture by R. Shelton Mackenzie* Th» third leoturo of the Course, before tho Young Men’s Ohristfan Association of German town, will be delivered, at tho Town Hall of Ger mantown, at 8 o’clock this evening. The subject of the lecture will be “The Lights and Shades of Irish Character.” The ability of the lecturer to render this subjeotinstructivo and amusing hardly requires comment. Tho faolliticsfor going to Ger mantown and returning from a lecture at an early hour are now so ample that we doubt not many friends of tbe Association will take advantage of this opportunity of attending ono of the richest literary entertainments of the season. . New York Saturday Pbesb.—We aro moved by no consideration save'genuine morit to com mend to the se&rohers after a good weekly paper the Saturday Press, published In New York by Henry Clapp, Jr. It is really the first attempt In thisoountry at a pure, decent, uninfluonced literary journal, and Is freo from the nauseating traits of the majority of tho weeklies.

The office of the Saturday Press in Now York is 9 Spruce streot, and Henry Clapp, Jr., Esq., is the editor. Trkßrooklyn Parks.— Tho New York Tribune says that a meeting of the Park Commissioners was held on Friday night, and aftor an interchange of views, a resolution was adopted recommending the selection of two parks, (instead of a cordon of parks,) one to bo located in the*vicinity of Pros* poet Hill, including the Reservoir, and the other :at Ridgewood— one to contain 382 acres, and the other about 400 acres. The average prloe was esti mated at about $2,500 an acre.

THE FHILAfiELRtIIA, NOVeMBeH 2§ 1859. Letter from “ Occasional*” ICorreapondonos of The Prats.} Washington, Nov. 27,1859. As Monday, tho 6th of Deoetnber, approaches, the interest as to the organization of the in creases. Quite a number of names Are suggested, on all sides, in connection with tho Speakership, whioh will first bo deoided, Hon. James C. Alien, thd present clerk, aotlng in the meanwhile as tho presiding officer. Tho position of Speakerisono of great importance, worthy of tho aspiration of the loftiest statesman, and, if its duties are well discharged, certain to confer lasting and honorable fame. Tho Speaker of the first Ainonoan Congress was 1 j a Pennsylvanian—Frodorick A. Muhlenberg—and he was re-elected to that post in tho third Congress. He was suocoedod by Jonathan Dayton, of New Jersey, the ancestor of the presont Hon. Win. L. Dayton of that State, who remained in tho ohair for four years. Then camo Georgo Dent, of Mary land, in the fifth; Theodore Sedgwick, of Massa- I ohusetts, in the sixth ; Nathaniel Maoon, of North I Carolina, in the seventh, eighth, and ninth; Jo seph V. Varnum, of Massachusetts, in the tenth and I eleventh, and then Henry Clay. Mr. Clay was a model Speaker of the Houeo. Ho began in that I caparity when just thirty-four years of ago, and served in all about ton years. I£o occupied the I chair (exoopt during part of the Thirteenth Congress whon Langdon Cbeves was chosen to fill the vaoanoy occasioned by Mr. Clay’s resignation on his appointment to act as I ono of tho commission to arrango the treaty at Ghent, and during his absenoo in the second I session of tho Sixteenth and tho Bovonteonth Con gress,) until M&roh 3d, 1825. Aftor Mr. Clay camo John W. Taylor, of New York, in tho Nineteenth Congress, and Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, in the Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second, and I part of the Twenty-third; John 8011, of Tennessoo, I in tho Twenty-fourth, and James K. Polk, of the I same State, in the'Twenty-fifih and Twenty-sixth. Mr. Polk was regarded as only socond to Mr. Clay. His promptitude and integrity, his impartiality and his courago, endeared him to men of all par tios during the moat oxoited period in which ho acted, and, no doubt, made him prominent for the Presidency, which position ho attained in a few I years after his retirement from Congress. He was : suooeeded In the Twenty-seventh Congress, by Robert M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, who was oleoted after a severe struggle, as a Whig. Following Mr. Hunter oarne John White, of Kentucky, In the Twenty-eighth Congross, and in the extra session whioh ensued, John W. Jones, of Virginia. John W. Davis, of Indiana, presided over tho Tvronty-ninth Congress; Robert C. Win throp, of Massachusetts, over tho Thirtieth; Howell Cobb, of Georgia, ovor tho Thirty first ; Lynn Boyd, of Kentucky, over the Thirty seoond; Nathaniel P. Ranks, of Massachusetts, over the Thirty-third; and James L- Orr, of South - Carolina, over tho Thirty-fourth. Mr. Cobb was a very efficient and ready Spoakflr, and tbo ohair bas rarely been filled with more ability and impar tiality than by Nathaniel P. Banks. Whon Colo nel .Orr was chosen he was justly regarded as ono of tho fairest and most independent men in tho country, but he committed a great blunder in his refusal to follow the direction of tho House in tho appointment of tho oelobratod investigating com mittee on the Kansas question, which occasioned tho greatest surprise on the part of his opponents, and filled bis sincere friends with pain. Allowing the Administration tooontrol him, ho gave tho ma jority of tho committee to tho minority of tho Houso, and thus assisted to suppress suoh a full statement of the facts of the Kansas dispute as would havo been satisfactory to the country and honorable to tho Domooratio party. Let all thoso who asplro to the samo high plaoe bear in mind this inridont in the career of Colonel Orr. I havo reason to believe that ho now regrets tho stop ho took, and Isinoorely hope thatit may be forgotten and forgiven in consideration of his many other manly and patriotic qualities. The prominent candidates for Spoaker of tho next (the Thirty-sixth) Congress are John Sher man and Thomas Corwin, of Ohio; Ualusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, (Republicans;) John Smith Pholps, of Missouri, (Administration Demo crat;) Emorson Etheridge, of Tcnncssco; E. Joy Morris, of Pennsylvania, (Americans;) and no doubt others will bo introduced into tho strugglo, should tho {louse not be able to make a choice out of this list. Mr. Sherman was a member of the Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth Congress, and has I boon re-elected to the Thirty-sixtb. He is in his thirty-seventh year, and is a gentleman of marked ability. Mr. Grow, his most activo competitor, is I nearly the same age. He was born in Connecticut, | having settled in Pennsylvania a number of years ago, was eleoted to Congress in 1850, and has ever sinco represented his district in the Nationnl Legis lature. While Mr. Ranks was Speaker of tho House ho was chairman of ijip Committee on Territories. He is a man of great foroe of char acter, a fine debater, nr.d entirely acquainted with public affairs. Mr. Corwin, who has lately indl- | cated bis willingness to accept the position of Bpeaker, la in bis sixty-seventh year. Everybody has heard of Tom Corwin-gonial, eloquent, and facetious Tom Corwin. He was a membor of tba lower Houso of Congress from 1831 to 1840, and was chosen Governor of Ohio in Ootober of tho lattoryear. In 1845 he was oleoted to the United States Senate, which position be held until his appointment in the Cabinet, as Secretary of the Treasury under President Fillmore, in 1850 He was chos en last October a Representative from his distriot and may be said to repre&ont “tho Oppo sition” rather than tho Republican parly. JohD 8. Phelps, who will probably bo tho Administra tion candidate, was born ip Connecticut in 1814, emigrated to Missouri in 1837, was rieptednßepre sentative to Congress from the Green county dis triot in 1844, and has sorved to the present time. Ho was an extreme Administration man In afl the struggles in the late Congress, and although etoDo time a devoted friend of Colonel Renton, even when tho Colonel was doubtful on certain issues, ho may cow be regarded as tho representative of tbe Administration idea. Ho is an upright man, and when ho ceases to be a partisan can act fairly toward his political antagonists. Mr. Phelps was chairman of tho Committee of Ways and Mo&iib in the last Congress. ' Mr. Etheridge, ot Tennessee, bas, 1 beliove, ro. presented his distriot in Congress from 1853 to 3857, and his speech, while tho House was trying to eleo a Speaker in 1853-53, will always be recalled, dis tinguished as it was for courago and cloquenoo. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, is about forty-two years of age, and for so young a man hns had quite an ho norable career. He served in tho Pennsylvania Legislature four years, in Congress four years, noted as American resident-minister atNaples fouryears, and has written quite a number of popular book B of fiction and travel, 110 has been ro-olooted to tho Thirty-sixth Congress. I havo, of ooprso, omit ted the names of other candidates not so promt nont. I will seize the first opportunity, however, not only to dlsouss such as may bo introduced into the raoe, bat to give, &t intervals, sketches of tho leading men in both Houses during tbe approaoh ing Cong ress. Senator Douglas and bis lady aro convalescing rapidly. I had the pleasure of paying a visit to them both, two days ago. The Judge, at that time, could sit up in his bed, and although bo looked as if bo hod paasod through a eovore slogo, his eyo was bright, his voico mu sical, and his interest in publio affairs as koon as ever. Mrs. Douglas did not look less beautiful because a little paler than usual. It is said their pbysioians advise a Southern tour, but located as they aro, in the midst of oomfort and ease, and surrounded by a oirclo of devoted friends, they can roadtiy regain their strength by remain ing in Washington. lam well awaro how muoh Judge Douglas is embarrassed by tho oalls of bis thousands of supporters, and how beneficial to him quiet and retirement would bo, but his is a spirit that would chafe if absent from tho scenes shortly to bo onactod at this capital, 110 would not bo happy or contented away from them, and I am not without hopes that hi? lato illness will give him a stroogor constitution tbap pver.

The Dallas (Oregon) Journal , contains tbe fol lowing particulars iu regard to a recent discovery of gold in Oregon: “According to our informant, the dlsoovory is confined to a small bar ou the river, which Is being worked by soldiers, quartermaster’s men, and a large number of Indians. The men from oomp go down after breakfast, walking a distance of flvo miles, and working not moro than half a day, ave raging about twenty dollars to tho hand. This is without the ordinary conveniences for mining, and with nothing but picks, using frying pans for washing out. With ‘rookors/it is estimated that from fifty to two hundred dollars to (he hand could readily bo taken out. “ The discovery, we aro told, was mado by Ser §eant Compton, in whoso honor the locality baa een named ‘ Compton Bar.’ “ The effect of this news hns been to oroate quite an excitement in our town, bat as yet we have not heard of any departures for tho new gold mines. Should the next advices confirm those startling re ports, we may expect to see a stampede scarcely equalled by that to Fraser’s river.” The Massachusetts Douse of Representatives has abolished tho provision of law authorizing flogging in the State prison. Mr. Goodwin, of Lowell, who Is chairman of the board of inspectors of tho’ prison, Btated that not a blow had beon infliotod there for nearly three years. Public Amusements* At Walnut-stroet Theatro, this ovening, Mr. nhd Mrs. Barnoy Williams commence a star engage meut—she as the Yankoe Girl; he as the Irish Boy. They have boon extremely successful during their prolonged professional visit to Europe, where, if all reports be true, Mrs. Williams bas developed into a magnificent-looking woman, and improved into a decidedly popular and good aotress. The success whioh they experienoed in “ tho old coun try” was greater than any other performers had achieved for many years. Mrs. Williams, in par ticular, performed wondora, iu pieces written ex pressly for her, in whioh rapid transformations of ; costumo seem almost to change tho personal iden- I tity. We shall see her in those. Lastly, their I repertoire, which was very so-so when they left I this country, Is now very good, some of tho best English dramatists having written pieces expressly for them. Arch-street Tobatub.— Considering that play goers attend theatres oblefly for tho purpose of boing amused, not expecting or desiring to fiml sormons in plays, it oan scarcely be denied that MonoriefTs comody, “ Tho Fftßt Men of the Oldon Time,” is jutt tho sort of pieoe for tho Aroh-strcot Thoatro. You cannot oall it a high-nrtcomcdy, (whioh pcoplo mako a point not going to see,) but I you must confess that it has u great deal of livell- I ness, many amusing situations, and a rattling va | rioty of incident. These aro attractive elements, and these have crowded tbe theatre night aftor night, and will probably oontlnuo to draw full houses for several weeks. Take it to pioecs, criti cally, and somo incongruities may be detected; I but take it for what it is put forward as, and this play is highly amusing—and that is what an audi ence looks for. It Is reinnrknbly well played. Mr. Whoalley, one ot the best comedians in this I country-—wo question whether thero bo a hotter I actor in his lino in England—goes through the rCle of Rochester with an oaso, force, and dash which are tho conventional attributes of tho his trionio favorite of the Merry Monarch. He, with Buckingham, has offended tho King by refusing to wed where h!s heart docs not lead, and tho two noblos, esebowing the Court, becomo master and man at a country hostelrie. They play a variety of tricks upon the upon others. Two Court ladios, (Mrs. Drew and Miss Emma Taylor,) who affect the sooioty of theso rather ’‘fast” cour tiers, deceive them in turn. Finally Rochester a nd Buckingham trick each other. Wheatley's ur sumption of a quack-doctor’s attiro, calling, and character, to deooivo tho King, is a wonderful piece of acting. Tho conclusion, whoro the King is locked up in a cellar, doos seem familiar, but the actual-events of and that Court woro not a whit'leas extravagant. Mr. Dolman, Mr. John : Gilbert, Mr. J. S. Clarke, and Mr. Wallis, save- I rally contribute a great doal to the success of this I drama. So do Mrs. Drew, Miss Emma Taylor, and Mrs. Geo. Stoddart. Thore is a Shepherd and Shophordcss dance around a May-polo ut the cioso of the play, whioh Is tho prettiest thing of the sort wo over have soon. Wo recommend all the world to go and look at it. The WAy in whioh this piece is dressed and put upon the stage does orodit to Mr. Wheatley’s taste and liberality.

It is shown that the proportion of native born citron*, receiving publio relief in this oity, la : thirty-eight per cent, pf the population, while in j tho interior it |s ipwcp largpr. Tho sanitary con- I dition of the city is of course mado the subject of | special Investigation, and tbe faot is again present ed, sustained by reports from the proper sources, that New York, whioh has natural and artificial facilities that should mako U one of the healthiest cities in the world, is in faot one of the most un healthy.

The following paragraph is pregnant with instruction t “So great was tho degradation, filth, and pollu tion of London, less than 200 years ago, 1350, when its population was nd larger than that of Now York at the presont time, thatbesides twenty.oighttoou sand deaths by ordinary diseases {none year—that is, ono in twenty-four of the population, and fivo thousand more than in Now York last year—thero were also sixty-eight thousand deaths by the plague, --Tho proportionate mortality in Jiondou now, is ono in forty, while that of Now York Is nearly as groat as was that of London two centu ries since, oolng o*.o in twenty.ievon, in the your 1857, whereas uf.y years ago it was better than that of London now. viz , one In forty.six and a half.” Tho naturalization of foreigners is being put through with unwonted energy.

Qcp.ISIONAL. Publio sontlnjopf strongly with tho General Superintendent of police in his efforts to separate our police department from all oonnoolion wiijj any of tho partisan organizations of tho cjty.

A yoar ago It would have been considered nji unwarranted act of oppression on the part of tbo head of the depurtmont to attempt to prohibit a subordinate from ooUeotlng money, or otherwise interesting himsejf to promote the interests of bis party. Indeed, under the strictly partisan admin istration of tho Board of Police Commissioners, last yoar, all control over the political movements of tho men was withheld from tho General Super intendent, and they were egpeoted, and relied upon, to do a large share of the dirty work. All this lias been changed, and the men relieved from this nnnoyanoo and exponjo. Tho depart ment has attained a high point of public con fidence, and, under its present vigorous bead, will soon equal in efijeionfly thf police of London or Paris. These observations are suggested by tho fact that, on the day preceding tho last election, subscriptions were oponly asked for in some of tbo station-housoi to help the Republican ticket, end money was contributed—in some oases willingly, in others by those who were afraid to refuse* A sergiuut m tiiu Sixth ward, who took au aitivol part in the matter, was brought beforo tho general superintendent, and etillcd upon to explain.
