Breokinrisige, Vice President of the United States, arrived in this city yesterday, and la stopping at the Merchants' Hotel. We have three days' later news from Europe, by - the arrival of the steamer Europa at Halifax, yes, terday, - but owing to the breaking of the wires, the telegraphic summary of her news is short. . The British steamship Circassian, from Galway the 12th, via St. Johns, Newfoundland, the '24th ult., arrived at New York yesterday. She brings 281 passengers. Her news we gave yesterday. Wonderful accounts are given in the California papers of the richness of the, famous Washoe or rather Carson, valley, silver mines—far . ahead of the world-renowned mines of Chili and Peru. The vein now being worked is situated just over the line of California, in Utah Territory, dis tant about 175 miles from Sacramento city.- per feotly &coeval. by teams,_ over 400 of which are now hauling over that route to and from Salt Lake. The mines were discovered by a man named Cora steak, and, as usual, he sold his deices for a small amount td different parties, who are now working them. One company, known as the Walsh Com! . puny, are getting out at the rate of two tons a day of the silver ore, besides several tons of tho quarts • stripped from the vein, which has been yielding, by the Mexican "Arcata " process, over $4OO per day; but the gold ie lessening as they go down; and gradually merging into silver. The vein bee been traced over a thousand feet. The Walsh • Company have 1,400 feet; next comes Bryant & Raymond, who own fifty feet, for whioh they paid - $4OO par foot, from which they have already shipped thirteen tons ore, worth, by actual demon . stration, over $3,000 per ton. From the Walsh vein there have been about twenty-eight tons shipped. This ore Is sold for from $2,500 to $O,OOO containing both gold and Inver, but silver principally,. • It was stated some time since that the British frigate Shannon, which captured the Chesapeake, was to be broken up in England. A song-writer has saved the ship, as 0. W. Holmes saved our own old Constitution. One of the London rhymers, on reading the Admiralty order to break up the Shan non, addressed a patriotic poem to the powers that be, the effect of which is, that the captor of the Chesapeake will not be blotted from the navy re gister. She has just been detailed as a sort of prac tice ship for young marines at Liverpool, and will be carefully attended to. The Young MirßAstiml&m • • '"'4163, iliTt) elided Jimes J.

Be re. presents that the census ordered by the Territorial Legislature as the basis of taxation is incomplete and imperfect..

He says that it Is demonstrable that there are more than a hundred thousand inhabitants in the Territory The constitution win be sent to tie President of tip •,llnitedStates, and to the presiding officers of the two . Hocures of Congress. Gov. Medary did not -taken census, in compliance with the English bill, because Congress made ncrappropriation topay the expense. , The Jaque, of Matamoros, of Nov. 12, says that on the previous day one hundred and fifty Texan volunteers (Capt. Tobin's, command) arrived et Brownsville. Corneas had, bad news of their ap prosoh, and, therefore, during the night, came up to the town and fired a couple of volleys, whiob induced the people inside to suppose that the rein " foreementS, when they apppoeohed, wore enemies. The consequence was, they were fired upon from Brownsville. Mr. Claveok then crossed over to Ilitamoroa, by swimming his horse across the river, and informed the authorities of that place of the true state of the ease. This intelligence was then sent over to Brownsville, when the volunteers entered the town. Cortinas afterwards again ap proached, but efficient preparations were mode to repel and pursue him. The same paper expresses much surprise at Corneas' proceedings. It says that he was keeping Brownsville in a perpetual state- of alarm, apparently without any object. Fornetimee he stops convoys of merchandise from -Point Isabelonly to' warn them that they may be attacked and robbed by malefactors, falsely acting in hie name. He then lets them pass freely.

What Nett Governor RUNNELS, of Texas, has discovered a new reading of the eclEansai-Nebraska act," the principles of '' anon-intervention," and the. cc Democratic platform,"-and de nounces all those who, express their belief that any of those,,dommenta ever meant " non-intervention by Congress with slave ry, in the States or Territories," or "to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own ,Way,", as er ambitions and blinded partisans who hair° seized upon it as a new element of agitation." -But hear the Governor "These issues"— the right of the people of a Territory to form and regulate their own domestic institutions In their own way—" do not tegitimatety flow from the none:intervention doctrines of the Kansas- Nebraska act, nor of the Democratic platform, which limply means that Congress should nei ther 'establish nor prohibit slavery in the Ter ritories, but leave the question to the Constitu tion and the courts," and, therefore, as w the Constitution of the United States has (accord ing to the Governor's view of the Dred' Scott decision) recognised property in slaves to stand upon, theaame footing as other property, and, therefore, entitled to protection in the Terri tories, that haves the duly of Congress to protect it." The GoVernor, no doubt, had just read Judge BLACK'S " ' Axiomatic principles of pub- tic law," asehe says a Territorial Government has been well likened to a corporation crea ted by a State," which was a prominent fea ture of the Judge's pamphlet. The Governor, therefore, is but following out the Judge's argument, that completely ignores the people of a Territory, and binds them hand and foot, and lays them at the feet of the General Go vernment, or rather its Judiciary. The Judge stops short of Congressional w protection to" slavery. He says it has a "Constitutional" right to be protected, but denies to either Congress or the people of the Territory the power to enact any laws on the subject—thus leaving it to the courts of the United States alone to make the laws for the God-forsaken people of the Territories, as well as to expound them. We should not be surprised it some other At torney General of the United States some day would discover that the courts had the right also to execute their laws. The Governor, how ever, believing fhlly in the Judge's axiomatic principle of public law, the es right" of slavery to protection under the Constitution, is deter mined to have his a remedy" from Congress. But the remarkable feature of all this is, that both the Judge and the Governor find all this bald down as clear as the sun at noon-day in the Kansas-Nebraska act—the Democratic splat form, and, we suppose, also, in Mr. BUCHANAN'S tette'. of acceptance of the nomination for Pre sident—and denounces all Democrats who differ with them as heretics. The Coastitntion of the United States says, The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States re spectively, or to the people." It also provides certain modes of amendment, should it be re- How, as no power has been dole pted to the United States to govern the people of the Territories by the Constitution, we object to the mode proposed by Judge &Mx and Governor RUNNELS of supplying the omission by conferring the power on the supreme Court, or any other court of the United States. If the power is once granted to the judiciary department of the General Government, first of expounding the Consti tution, and then of supplying its defects or cnaissions, what becomes of the rights or re served powers of the States or the people / This plan of substituting the Judiciary of. the United States for the people of the Terri tories is bad enough, but substituting it for the States, or the people of the United States, in 3onstitutional making or amending, we fear, /rill bo found still worse. We have great re spect for the Judiciary in its proper sphere, but have no disposition to extend its powers tither to constitution making or mending, or to meeting laws. But more of this again. Just tow wo desire to refer to the language of the &anus-Nebraska act and the Cincinnati Plat- hrm,'in both of which, those who' deny the fight of tho people of a Territory like those if a State to form or regulate their own do nestle institutions in their own way, until they nako a State Constitution and aro accepted into :he Union under it, say they Had full authority Air their doctrine. We pass over the debates a - Congress and before the people at the time, - i'ull as they aro of the contradiction to this interpretation, and confine ourselves to the locumenta themselves. Them bear on their race abundant proof of the fallacy attempted to be foreed on'tbei Is I ovenunent of the Territory. There is no provision of anyklnd looking to a change of the Territory into a State—not one word is mid about -any preliminary right or duty rrt the Subject—in fact, it is not referred to. flow, then, could the right and power of the people of the Territory to frame and regulate their own domestic institutions in their own .vay refer merely to their condition as a State ? ft is simply absurd to suppose any such mean ing. The people of a Territory, while they aro n a Territorial condition, do not regulate their lomestic institutions in their own way in naking a State Constitution. The people of Kansas have made se'veral State Constitutions, tad yet not one of them has been acknow ledged as of any binding obligation. It is not mall the Territory is accepted by Congress as State that such Constitutions have any force. If the people of a Territory are to wait in all cases until they cease to be the people rf a Territory, before they can form and regu late their domestic institutions, what becomes )f the great right of self-government the Kansas gebraska act was intended to establish ? What .vas the object of this provision in this act? It speaks for itself. It was not for Congress to legislate slavery into any Territory or Stale, nor to exclude it therefrom; but to leave the people of the Territory or State to do this as they thought proper. The language clearly refers to the people, both in a Territorial and State condition, as they may exist at the time, and makes no distinction between them. As Ur. ErmaArres tersely expressed it—" the people of a Territory, like those of a State," had the right to legislate on the subject for themselves; not for those who might form the State—the people of the Territory or the peo ple of the Stateeach for themselves. The Cincinnati platform is equally as explicit in the acknowledgment of the right in the people of a Territory while in a Territorial con dition, and goes one step further than the Kan sas-Nebraska act. It recognises the doctrine first of ci non-Interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territory, as 6; the basis of the Compromise of 1850," and says cd that by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of Terrztories, and to the admission of new Stales, with or without domestic slavery, as they may elect, the equal rights of all the States will be preserved in tact," &c. Thus clearly recognising the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act—the right of the peo ple to form.and regulate their own domestic institutions in their own way—as applicablenn der a "Territorial organization"' as under a " State "—both conditions being alike referred to and acknowledged. If the Inference now attempted to be drawn from all this is correct, that all this had reference only to the'rlghts of the people of a Territory to form a State Constilintlon, why a whole oc tavo page filled with reference to "slavery In the Territories," and the cc Kansas-Nelnaska " act which related only to the government of the Territories, when the following resolution passed by the Convention would have covered, and does cover, the whole ground assumed by those who thus Interpret its meaning 1— "Resolved, That wo reeognise the right of the people of the Territories, including Kansas and Ne braska, feting through the legally and fairly ex pressed will of the majority of actual residents, and whenever the numberof their inhabitants jos tides It, to foins a Oonsatution, with or without do umatio slavery, and be admitted ' into the Union upon terms of ported equality with the other &atm" This covers the whole ground assumed by those Demacrats who assert that tho Kansas- Nebraska act only meant to recognise the rights of the people of the Territories to form and regulate their domestic institutions In their own way when they come to make a State Con stitution; and all the rest of the Cincinnati plat form on this subject, therefore, has no mean ing if this Is the doctrine it only was intended to assert. Singular, If this was the object of the Com promise measures of 1860, and the Kansas brebraaka act, that there is, not one word In thank all that has any reference to the rights of 6 4 1 ,i,..t0rp, or the ?topic of any Territory, In regard to their becoming a State, as we have said, the subject Is not alluded to In any THE PRiN.--PIiIt,ADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER, 1, 1859. way. If this was the right, and only right, in tended to be secured and acknowledged, it is certainly most strange that it was entirely kept out of view—not mentioned—not alluded to. If this was the meaning of the Congresses of 1860.54, they certainly hal a strange way of expressing themselies. If this was the ob ject, the one short resolution of the Cincin nati Convention on the subject was all that was required. Medicine Dispensers. An article on this subject, in THE Passe of Tuesday, has drawn upon us a number of com munications. Some of these are written in evident Ignorance of the subject; some from a misconception of it; some apparently from an interested motive, as If the writers were Unqualified druggists, and feared that the adop tion of a test of their ignorance would ruin them in their calling. We select ono commu nication—partly because it discusses the sub ject calmly, and partly because the writer is evidently in error on ono point. The prelimi nary remarks, complimentary to the article in Tuesday's PRESS . , we omit. Nothing can be worse taste than for a newspaper to publish strong eulogies of itself. Tho letter runs thus: " The genius of our institutions is ao entirely dif ferent from those of Europe, that the legal precau tions adopted by the Governments of France and Germany, for the protection of the people against the results of ignorance and carelessness, are altogether impracticable under our democratic Government. Competition is hero recognised as a legitimate element in every calling. and, under the free system of trade, it is, In fact, the most potent element for good or ill. Legislative enactments have been tried. with out the slightest avail, in several of the States: they have proved so entirely inoperative as to be universally reprobated by the profession on whom behalf they were enacted. What we need is en appreciation by the public of the real difficulties inoblent to the practice of this profession, and e reasonable and liberal support in the exercise of its responsible duties. "Tice majority of people class the ploormeceutist with any other retail shopkeeper, and measure his qualifications by the same standard, so that If one really goes to the trouble and expense of acquiring a thoroughly scientific education, (without which he is unfit to assume the responsibilities of hie call ing,) he finds himself in competition with half-edu cated shopkeepers, who by lowering the quality and price of their wares and the compensation charged for their services, reduce the boom from the bu siness to that miserable pittance which makes the half-starved apothecary' a mark for the shafts of ridicule. Bore lies the fault ; it is in the people themselves who:expeot to secure knowledge, skill, and integrity at the same rate as they pay for the labor of the Ignorant, careless, and incompetent. "In these remarks I have no allusion to whet has recentl7 agitated a large portion of this com munity. The censure visited on the unhappy apothecary who, by &lapse of the mind, occasions a fatal mistake, should be tempered by the refection that thousands of fatal mistakes aro averted by the vigilance and care of that industrious army to whom, night and day, without holidays or Sab baths, is entrusted the custody of the subtle and dangerous agents furnished by nature and science for the cure of diocese and the alleviation of pain. With &philosophy akin to-that of the anxious mother who desired her son to keep out of the water till he had learned to swim, some insist that no one but an expert should compound a proscrip tion; while others would obviate all evilconecauencee by putting poisons exclusively in ono kind of bottle, forgetting that they would ho thus attempt ing to substitute a fallible rule, liable to many accidental exceptions, for the habitual caution which is the only real safeguard against accident. It is, indeed, in this as in all other oases, that those only who prude* an art and have experience in it are competent to make rules for its management. "In these remarks, I have no other object then to place) the profession, of which I am one. in its true light before the public. and to induce an in telligent and disonminative judgment upon its merits and defeats. I - know, full well, the im portance of the lesson taught by the recent acci dent, and desire it may add one more to the innu merable incentives on the part of apothecaries and the public to caution in the handling of poisons." Our correspondent is mistaken, we think, in his opinion that the adoption of such legal precautions as prevail in France, Germany, and Ireland is (t impracticable under our de mocratic government," because 't competition is hero recognised as a legitimate element of every calling." In what position, then, is the profession of the Law / Tour, Jack, or Harry may sell drugs and compound medicines, without the slightest restriction; but none of this adventurous trio can perform the functions of &lawyer, without having successfully passed an examination as to his knowledge of the olomonts of the legal science. Here, at least, is a calling in which competition, by unquali fied and ignorant persons, is not recognised as a legitimate element. As an unqualified pretender, who was not a member of the legal profession, would not be al lowed to hazard . a man's properly in a Court of Nisi Prins, (where the Judge would not recognise them,) so an unqualified dispenser or compounder of prescriptions should not be permitted to hazard a mati's life by igno rantly or carelessly substituting morphine for quinine—a poisonous for a harmless medicine. We are firmly persuaded4bat, if properly ap pealed to, the common sense of our Legisla ture would legalize for the druggists or phar rnaciene of Pennsylvania thclmmann_inny :cause — origqr vital necessity, in various European countries. We repeat, for the safety of life, it Is requisite that ignorant per sons shall not be allowed, under the pretext of compounding medicines, to poison people by mistake.—Having strongly expressed our opinion upon it, besides showing what is the operation of prevention in other countries, we now beg leave to close the discussion. ACADEMY or Musio.—We have already called attention to the opening of the Academy of Music, in opera, on Monday evening next, December sth, under the management of our old Philadelphia favorite, Maurice Strakoseb, assisted by Mr. Ull man. This will be good news to the lovers of mu sic in our city. Now, since the rivalries between Strakesch and Ullman have been arranged, and that there is a combination of capital and exer tion, we may look forward to such a concentration of talent as will eeouro to us, as it has secured to New York, a series of unequalled entertainments. In contrast with the system of former managers, we notice, with pleasure, that it is the intention or Messrs. Strakosch and 'Ullman to produce, at the start, the finest and beet operas, all, or most of which, are new to our Philadelphia public. As an instance of this, they will open, on Monday evening, with the great work of Donizetti, "It Pollute," (or the Martyr,) brought out last May, simultaneously in New York and Parts, and crowned with a splendid Mass. It will be presented at our Academy with the Same min en scone that occasioned so much sensation at the New York Academy. That ster ling Philadelphia favorite, Madame Gazsanige, who, like Cleopatra, never stales In her Infinite variety, and Brignoli and Amodio, will appear in this opera, and we have no doubt a rich harvest will drown the experiment. It is the purpose of Mr. Strakosoh, before the closing of this profitable season, to introduce Mademoiselle Adelina Patti, whose debut in New York, a few evenings ego, created such a furore, and whose extraordinary musical and dramatic powers were endorsed not only by the public voice, but by the unanimous verdict of a ()thin' newspaper press. By reference to the advertisement It will be seen that the sale of reserved seats will begin on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, and those who desire to procure them will do well to apply early.

Nor news boo boon antioinated Letter trom !‘ Occasional: , Correspondenoe of The Press.] ViViarllttaTON, Nov. 90,1859. We are daily told by the Administration papers that the Southern people will make no demand upon Congress for the protection of the institution of slavery io the Territories of the United States against the will of the people of those Territories. We are daily sacred that It is the purest abetrae. Con to argue any ouch condition of things, and that nobody in the South of any influence or character favors what is popularly understood as the adoption of a slave code by the American Con gress. I have repeatedly declared, however, that not only is snob a purpose entertained by men of mark in the South, but it is now clear that public opinion in that quartdr of the Union Is rapidly con solidating in favor of. just such action by Congress as I have referred to. In a short time hardly n Southern etateeman or politician of any party wilt be found bold and bravo enough, whatever his opinions may be in reality, to 'take open ground against this new demand. Not only do such men as Senator Brown, of Missis sippi, who have heretofore boon regarded as cool paratively moderate statesmen, refuse any rights to the people of the Territories in regard to the in. stitution of slavery excepting the right to protect it, but they reject the remedy offered by Mr. Bo °lman and Judge Black, viz: The remedy of the United States courts. In a late speech of Governor Brown, delivered on the 10th of November, at Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, ho not only re jected and reviled the popular tribunal in the Ter ritories, but denounced, no seemly loss distasteful to the South, the remedy offered by Judge Black I have just seen a correct copy of this speech. Per mit me to call your attention to the following ox• tract : " 1 ant not remarkably sanguine as to the results at Charleston. Perhaps I am not because I feel a certain sort of presentiment thafthinge will be managed to our Premdiee. If I could feel assured that the National Do mooraoy would, in good earnest, and with a hearty good will, stop on a platform which recognised the equality of the States, and the equal and exact right of every speaks!' of property to full and adequate protec tion wherever it might be, I would perform a pilgrim age on foot to Charleston to witness suoh a consumma tion. But my hopes are mingled with many doubts on these points. 1 fear we shall have a repetition of the old scenes—apocryphal sentences strung together, mean ing anything or everything, or nothing. just no one cheeses to construe them. We may be offered the Cin cinnati Platform in h a u verbs—l would reject it without a word of deb, te. Alter all that has transpired, it is in sulting to our intelligence to offer us a platform with a Northern and n Southern side. Wo know that in prac tice our side will be deserted. Therefore, those who ac cept such a platform, agree in advance to see the South betrayed. " I would demand the full measure of justice, awl draw the bond in such plain English that no one could mis rem] or misconetrue it. And, failing in this demand, I would withdraw instantly from the Convention." Governor Drown insists upon Congressional in• tervention for the protection of slavery, and he is, and will be, sustained by an irresistible Southern opinion. The next step will be to demand the for mat no-opening of the slave traffic; and, to tbi• end, I believe, Jefferson Davie is pledged to ask the repeal of the existing laws which denounce that traffics as piracy. I have taken Horne pains to inquire into the truth of the telegraphic , despatch from this city, to the effect that Mr. Westeott, late postmaster of Phila delphia, is a defaulter, and I am enabled to state that a more cruel and unjust sensation never wee made against an upright citizen. It appears that on the 3d of November, the Department at Wash- ington forwarded to the present postmaster in your oily, a draft on Mr. Westoott for something over 819,000—the amount claimed by the Deport ment. When Mr. Westoott was notified of the draft, he replied that it would not be paid, unless certain deductions claimed by him were allowed, and said he would write to Washington according ly. On the Bth instant, ho was informed officially, that upon the payment of the sum admitted ly him to be due, the remainder would be made the subject of future settlement. At this time a member of Mr. Westeott's family (lime deceased) was at the point of death, and for this reason the draft wee retained until Monday last, when the sum of $13,971.42 was deposited with the Assistant Treasurer of the United States, and the proper venders have been forwarded to Washing ton. Mr. Westeott has a receipt for the amount thus paid over, and I have not the slightest doubt that his entire claim will be allowed, which (as I understand the subject) is for moneys paid over by him under the direction of the Department, or according to the uniform practice of the office.

DISTRICT COVET—Judgo Cadwalader, —This court, which Is now engaged in the trial of come exceedingly important ermined causes, has, during the present week, become quite an attract ive and business place. The vicinity of Marshal preeented a thronged appearance, whilethe prin. clout court-room itself was fillod tolls utmost cepa oily by parties and witnesses to the various suite arranged for dieposition during the present torn. At 10 ()Week the trial of Frederick Tarr, charged with making and selling a large quantity of coun terfeit gold dollars, was resented. In this connec tion, wo must express our satisfaction in escaping temporarily from the miserable and uncomfortable smite of the Quarter Saealone to what is more like a court-room, and far better adapted. The United States court-room is spited for the purposee to which it is applied; members of the bar and spectator& are furnished with decent neats, while the reporters rare provided with desks, and are daily made the recipients of numerous courtesies from the gentle manly tipstavee. Why cannot a similar state of maitre be introduced into the State conr is 7 In the ease of Tarr, the United States called witnesses to prove that in October last Information was received in the city of Washington that a box of counterfeit gold dollars was coming thrnugh Adorns' Express to the:city. The box wee addreesed to John P. Stone for certain parties, Stone having previously purchased the (min In Philadelphia. Stone purchased a draft in Washington drawn to his order, and by him endorsed to Tarr. and it was paid In Philadelphia Mr. Wise, ndetectiee officer, was sent to this city, and he visited the defendant and hie brother, Daniel Tarn and partially nego tiated a purcbaeo of $2OO of the bogus coin. The officer wee introduced to Tarr by Stone. On the succeeding morning, per agreement, Tarr came to the corner of Fifth and Arch streete, where some officers were watching. The coin WAS delivered, end the purchase money, seo. paid. Tore was then followed, and arreeted with the s'llo on his rerson William M. Bull. Esq, counsel for the deferdant, elicited the fact that Stone had been twice in the penitentiary, and that ho was recently errested in Washington on the charge of passing cnunterfeit money, but discharged on a promise made by him that he would aid the officers in arresting Tarr in this city. The defence tailed nn witnesses, but relied for a verdict of acquittal on the feet that Stone, from his previous character. was unworthy of belief, and that the officers who arrested Tarr were partici pants an the crime, if crime woe proven. District Attorney Vandyke briefly recapitulated the eai denco which tied been submitted on behalf of the prosecution, after which Mr. Bull mile a masterly appeal to the Intelligence and sympathy of the jury for his client, whose bend is whitened by the enema of seventy winters. lie critically re viewed the evidence in detail, pointed out ap• parent disorepancien, and treated the nhnlo tee. timony of Stone as a wilful fabrication, which had teen sworn to for the Kole purpose of saving its author from the merited punishment of his crimes. committed in a sister city. Mr. Bull related several instances of unjust cone letiens pro duced by the evidence of acknowledged felon,. and narrated, in touching style, the many disastrous eonsequences which had flowed directly therefrom. lie concluded by urging the jury to weigh care fully all the facts before arriving at a verdict which might Fend his client to a lonely cell, where, In the course of nature, meat terminate a life that, up to this time, has been above suspicion and be yond reproach; a vordiat w blob, while it would hasten to the grave one now standing on it, very blink would damn forever the reputetion of those near and dear to him, for whose cnmfort he bee toiled honestly and industriously throughout his long career. Mr. Vandyke, while complimenting Mr. Pell for his ingenious addrese• could not see how It was sufficient to overthrow the clear and uncentradict od proofs of guilt which the testimony had ile• velopeil. lie then argued from the fat that there , could be nn question as to guilt. Judge Cadwalader charged the jury at some length. Ile referred to a decision mode by Judge Story over thirty yours ego, relative to the oharac ter of evidence—that, no matter how it is ob tained, the real question is, of whet value is it in determining the merits of the cease? Oftentimes, facts conclusive of guilt are obtained through wens which we control reconcile to the ninept no lions of propriety, but still that is ao reason why they should be excluded. Ile charged the .lary to acquit Tarr en the first count of the bill of Indictment, which alleges that he male the coin, for, if this were even so. there It no evidence that it was done within tho jurisdiction of this court Stone's evidence should be taken with great elm lion. The Judge then proceeded to state that Stone was corroborated In every particular; that the race was n clear one, and then told the jury to convict Tarr on the second count, which charges him with attempting to sell. There WWI 00 red solo, no Wise did not really intend to buy the cde, but only merle a ' trip" purchtme. After this argument of the Judge against Tarr, the jury re• tired to deliberate upon a verdict. After being absent about fifteen minute?. they returned with a verdict of not guilty on the first count, but guilty on the second count. Mr. Bun at once moved an arrest of judgment, and notified the court that within four days he would file reasons for a new trial. Tarr woe then isles to prison by Deputy U S. Marshals Jenkins and Sharkey. The ease of John Connor, charged with manufac turing and selling counterfeit gold dollars, and quarters and helves, was next called for Lewis C. Cassidy, E4mi . , appeared ns counsel for the prisoner, and stated to Judge Cadwalader that be fore a Jury woe called It was hie intention to array the whole panel. Ito then entered into en elabo rate and eloquent argument to show that the pre sent panel of jumrs for the Unit States Cniirt had eel been drawn in conformity Ilith existing acts of legislation upon the antject, nor in obedi ence to the rentre which had been leaned to the marshal. Mr. Cassidy salmi that it oc curred to him that the court would take notice of at least two timings In thts connection. First, the venire 'Melt, and second, a statute of Pennsylvania relntive to the mode of drawing juries by the State courts—a mode which the actor congress Itself says must be adopted by the United OWN courts, so far es praotleable. The venire commands the marshal to summon not less than forly•eight men for jurors, and specifies them as " honest, sober, judielous, and lawful men, of no eißuity to the parties" interested in the respective cults The return to this, over the signature of the marshal, certifies that he him summoned not less than forty•eight honest. sober, Judicious, and lawful men." but omits to state whether the obligation relative to "affinity to the parties" has been complied with. Mr. Cassidy then read from Brightley's Digest, page 794. as follows: juror, to MVO in the courts of the United States shall be designated by lot or otherwise. in each state or district respectively. according to the mode of fc.irmine juries to serve in the highest courts of law therein now practised. so far as the same shill render such dawns tion_practicabl e by the courts and marshals of the Uni ted States." (This ant wee euotolmd tie act 20th July, 1040: hut ism force in Pennsylvania, by force of the act Sti March, 1819.1 . . The State act relative to the drawing of 4urors by the Judges of the Supreme Court, the District Court, and the Court of Common Pleat, in the ca. pacify of commissioners, was then read. Ilia act. it is well known, looks to the drawing of names from a wheel, the drawing to take place at least ten days prior to the assembling of a eourt for jury trials. Mr. Cassidy contended that as the Supreme Court was the highest in this district, and as its judges were members of the Board of Commission era, the United States Court should do as they do at present; the marshal, of his own motion, selects the jury, not by lot, not in the way in which they, are selected by the Supreme Court, and contrary to 'the act of the Legislature on the subject. Of course, he did not reflect on the conduct of Marshal Yost, who, he believed, had faithfully discharged a duty assigned him, but not in accordance with the law. Judge Cadwalader said be had no doubt, in his own mind, that a change in the manner of drawing jurors in the United States eonrls should be speed ily adopted. Wo have the English system in vogue now, and be thought an improvement should he effected. The law, however, referred to by Mr. Cassidy, was local in its nature, having been passed by the Legislature to affect Philadelphia alone. The Supreme Court in this district is relatively not the highest court The Supreme Court In Phila delphia is co-ordinate, or eq!la4 in its powers to the courts of common pleas in other (mantles. for from both there is an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State. Ile would look at all the authorities upon the question, as now submitted to the court for the first time, and render his decision upon it this morning. In the meantime, he would say that it would overrule the objections of Mr. Cassidy, who had batter be prepared to go on with the trial of his cause in the morning. Mr. Cassidy. May it please your honor, I am ready to proceed with the case now. Judge. I have discharged the jurors during our discussion upon this jury question, and we will re sume business at ten A. M. to-morrow. Adjourn the court. The court accordingly adjourned. This sumo question, relative to the method of se lecting juries in the United States courts, is one that we have before alluded to and discussed, and we are gratified to see that It is about to be judicially determined. Whatever that detennination may be, there can be no doubt about the expediency of a reform.

PHILADELPHIA, November 30, NA The month closes upon a hoary stock market, ex cepting for the loans of the city of Philadelphia, which are in demand atloll. for the railroad issues, and 103 for the new ones, free from taxation Many speculations are indulged in as to the future, and many opinions are advanced regarding the causes of the present depression, and the reasons why these shall either noon cease or continue to operate; but, after all, this is mere guess work, and has no present influence upon the business, which is dull to excess. The telegraph operates very injuriously for our brokers; the orders of Philadelphia operators in stocks at the ?Sew Yolk hoard being now principally transmitted directly to brokers there over the wires, trusteed of through Phi l& lelphia brokers, as formerly. This accounts for one part of the lack of business here; but the chief falling off is, without doubt, owing to the dater mined abstinence of many who, before they learn ed the bitter lessons of 1857, were daily frequenters of the kook market. • The chief speculation has been in Pacific Mall Company shares, and in Panama Railroad shares. In the former the fluetuationa have been Wiser (Hilary, ranging from 701 to 931, and closing on the 29th at 85. The company appear to be doing a large and profitable business. In Panama shares the speculative feeling was great, running the price up to 1371 at ono day, but closing now at 132 a 133. The advance In Erie Railroad shares Is owing to more favorable reports as to the finances of tho company. A few weeks sine the shares were doll at four to Eve dollars each. In Novem ber they rose to 101. the lowest point being 7 for the month. The receiver gives notice that, par '_—the _Ropreme Court, the sub anther will pay, on presentation - of Lk...A. his office In Erie place, on and after Saturday the third day of December neat, the interest on the first-mortgage bonds of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, which became duo on the let of May, and on the Ist of lk.ovember, 1859. The month closed with this 'took at 9491. In Hodson River Railroad shares there has also been a marked change—in summer ranging from 3d5.34, and in November in demand at 361a424. Illinois Central shares, which are largely owned abroad, have sold as low as 58 in the past month, against 831 in October, closing on the 29th Novem ber at 58 In coal shares the market has been more steady. Mr. Robert ltfaCalmont, of the English banking house of 3loCalmat Brothers A. Co., well known as heavily interested in Reading Railroad stock and bonds, is now in Philadelphia. We men tioned several days since, that it was understood that this gentleman was coming with a very favorable plan for the clearing off of all the bonded Indebtedness of the company ma turing up to end of 1000, taking in return for these the bonds of BM, of which the company have enough on hand unissued to provide for the pay ment at thy price fixed by the aforesaid gentleman from England. The price is high, and the whole arrangement a much more favorable one than the company Oukt otherwise have hoped for The terms fire said to have been untie known to the directors of the company in advance, and to meet their grateful acceptance. With the incubus of the accruing indebtedness lifted off the company, the bonds of 1870 would be the first ineumbrance and thorn of 1880 take the place now occupied by those of 1870 The 1970 bonds are quoted row at 781, those of Bed at 81. Under the proposed arrangement it is expected that the latter bonds would go up in price to about SO, and the stock rice considerably " In connection with the above, we publish 'the ' following statement of passengers. freight, and c", 11 carried over the Reading Railroad from 1!.55 to 1858 lad usire, with coats of the several branch es These details we copy from an elaborate state ment prepared by J. 3f tianderson, Esq.: Eisfi-1 i Mil I at;"1.; I itIY " g ;.• 1 1.

The London Times will find another erumb of comfort in the hope afforded by Oovorner MoWfl- lie's message, just transmitted to the Legislature of Mis,isaippi, that that State will, cre long, abandon repudiation, and enroll herself among the "States that pay." The Governor earnestly recom mends the Legislature to make provision for the accrued interest on the bonds of the State issued to the Planters' Bank, the validity of which has been suetalned by the courts of that State. The Union-Bank bonds have also been confirmed. A meeting of the second-mortgage bondholders of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad Company was held at room No. 30, Exchange, at noon, to day. The chairman, P. A. Van Dyke, Rat., stated that since the appointment of the committee to re , now negotiations with the representatiree of the first-mortgage bondholders, the duties of the ap pointment have been faithfully performed. Al though the offer made by the committee represent ed by him for the reorganisation of the company, upon terms by them deemel equitable and advan tageous Co all. had beau fo ully declined, yet he was pleased to eay that a request had been made within the last few hours to delay the presentation of the report which had been prepared for the eon sideration and adoption of the second mortgage bondholders. This request was aethuipanied by the assurance that the committee of the first mort gage were prepared to open negotiations on a basis as equitable as the one proposed by the committee of the second mortgage. Without entering into , detail, from prudential considerations, it is recom mended that this meeting and the reading of the report be postponed until next Thursday, 7th prox. Under these circumstances he would suggest that the committee of the first mortgage theald have an opportunity afforded them to meet the representa tives of the second mortgage holders in the came spirit which the latter, had evinced— that of compromise and amicable :settlement, and he therefore moved that the meeting adjourn to ea semble at the above stated time. 'the meeting then adjourned, on molten, until Thursday (to morrow) week. Tax Srocz Tons.—The theft. salons of the New 'York market have been unusu ally great daring the prevent month. In some particulars the market is stronger; prices are bet ter, and holden evince mere confidence in the fa tare, especially as to the revenues of railroad com panies. In other items the close of the present month shows a decline in prices. The greater abundanee of money has given a aticnultor to 'pe culation, and the surplus capital created by the energy and Induatry of the masses of the people now seeks Investment in what may be termed sia :tan tial waenrities. Government loans have been uniform in priers- The six per cents. command 8 to 9 per cent., and will advance a fraction further, with the accumu lating interest, until January, when the dividend will reduce the market value three per cent. The Ave per cents. are steady at a fraction over three per cent, premium. In State loans the chief trans actions are in Missouri, Virginia, and Tennessee sin per cents. Owing to financial difficulties at the West, the bonds of these States, which are largely held as a basis of banking. have been brought into market more freely in November than is usual. The public debt, direct and ir.direet, of the State of Missouri is $19,08,000, the liquidation of which is well provided for, and the interest will be pane- Wally met. The guarantee bonds to railroad com panies were issued . upon condition of mortgages upon the several roads, and should these companies , fail to provide for the interest hereafter, the State will promptly, under any circumstances, pay the interest Itself. Tennessee has provided a sinking rand which will secure the creditors of the State against any possible reduction of rt. - venue to meet the final redemption of the bonds. Virginia has also made ample provision for the prompt pay ment of semi•annnal interest, and her bonds may be considered among the most reliable in the mar ket. Yet, in the Noe of these facts, the efx per cent. bonds of Missouri are selling at 54e83; Vir ginia at 93a95, and Tennessee at 9041. The fol lowing summery of the debt and tax.ble property of these States will be ante' to espitalists Tenable Debt. 1 Aireuted wror.4, ty.l- PM %bor. Munuri ...
