Municipal Pfogro cs 4
While it is common to hoar the charge of
old, fogyism levelled against Philadelphia, we
know of no other city in the Union in which,
during the last few years, so many steps have
been taken to increase the comfort and con
venience of its residents. Any one who casu
ally strolls through the outskirts of our city
will he astonished by the large - number of new
and comfortable dwellings, containing 'all the
modern converdences,,which have been re
cently, erected, and which for a moderate rent,
afford their occupants all the comforts of a
happy home. Beautithl churches, too, have
been constructed in various parts of the city,
and a number of important manufacturing and
commercial operations inaugurated. But the
year 1859,Wi1l be chiefly distinguished in our
municipal history for the general construction
of passenger railways and for the erection of
the new market-houses. These two changes
have quietly.worked a social revolution.
The passenger railway cars are universally
used, and have been an immense addition to
the convenience of our citizens, not only by
the faCilities they afford for pleasant and
speedy travel between distant 'sections, but by
making cheap land at distant points from the
business centre available for building purposes,
and thus still fluther reducing the cost of com
fortable residences. Improvements which
affect results of such universal importance
confer greater benefits upon the masses than
political measures which agitate the country
froth one section of the Union to the other,
and , provoke the most angry and heated parti
san discussions.
Although buts few years have elapsed since
the public authorities which controlled the
right of way over our streets consented to
tolerate the project of allowing railways to be
constructed upon them, a complete net.work
now covers every important avenue ; and, by
the system of exchange tickets, at a trifling ex.
pense, any one can be conveyed from his own
door on an errand of business or pleasure to
the most distant confines of our widely' ex
tended city. The rapidity with which this
whole' system has been perfected, notwith
standingthe strong opposition it encountered
at almost every step of its progress, is a proud
tribute to the vitality of our city, and the
promptness with which enterprises of un
doubted merit and unquestionable desirability
can be conducted to a successfbl issue by our
unaided energies.
Another great improvement is the final de
termination of City Councils to demolish the
unsightly sheds which have so long disgrateed
Market street, and the erection of the magnifi
cent new market-houses that now adorn the
sections . in, which they are located , arid add
immensely to public convenience. Through
the ruins ef the venerable sheds now standing
on. the eastern portion of Market street, sup
ported only by naked pillars, a glimpse may
be obtained of the fine business avenue which
has so long been disfigured, and in which the
merchants have for many years been obliged
to submit to constant inconveniences and de
lays in the transmission of the many millions
of dollars' worth of merchandise which they
have forwarded to their customers in distant
porticiris of the Union. By the close of the
year, these ancient relics will probably be re
moved, and Market street Will present to the
eyes of Philadelphians, and to all who may
visit It, the beautiful and imposing appear.
once its natural capacities enable it to assume.
While the city has been fortunate in the re.
moval of these nuisances, she has been
equally fortunate in the substitutes provided
by the spontaneous enterprise of our citizens.
rho mew market houses have been constructed
In a style which corresponds with the require
ments of this progressive age. Certainly, no
dieintettested spectator who visits ono of these
new market palaces—for the grandeur and cora
pleteireols, of their arrangements fully warrant
nein applying to them that title—can fail to be
gratified by their immeasurable superiority over
the rickety, expolied, old-fashioned eheds
which preceded them. There is a little
complaint that the premiums paid for some
of the stalls in these buildings, and the high
rents they command, will compel butchers and
hucksters to increase the price of provisions;
have think these fears have but little founda
tion, for even if butchers pay what is equiva
lent, in premiums, etc., to an additional rent of
several hundred dollars, such a sum will be so
slight a tax upon the total amount of their an.
anal sales, that the increased expense to con
sumers of their purchases will !scarcely be
noticeable, and it will be much more than
compensated for by the additional comforts
and conveniences furnished by the now build
ings.
A Singular Ramon
Tha Wheeling (Va.) Union, of December 2,
says:
" On Sundalast it was rumored in Richmond
that the Rev. Mr. Wise son of Governor Wise, an
offiolatfug clergyman a the Bpisoopal .ohuroh in
Philadelphia, had been seised on by the Abolition
ista of that eity as a hostage for the safety of old
Brown. Where such a rumor could have origina
ted it is impossible to ascertain, but that it was
false and ridiculous, very little reflection was ne
cessary to convince the public. Though free ne
gross abound in the Quaker City, and many Aboli
tionists make it their headquarters, the great mass
of her oltisen.s and merchants are among the most
loyal end 'conservative portion of this Confedera
tion, and Mr, Wise is as safe in their midst as he
could be In the oity of Richmond."
While we publish the above to inform Phila
delphians of the ludicrous and unfounded m
inor to which it refers, it is scarcely necessary
to repeat to our most distant readers the assu
rance that any outrage upon Mr. WISE would
be no more likely, to originate bore than in
Richmond itself, and if originated would be as
indignantly resented by our citizens as by
those of any Southern community.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY ; DECEMBER
Letter from ~ Occasional: ,
Correspon ilence of The Frees.]
Wesnovirox, Debombir 4, 1859
It gives mo great pleasure to announce that, up
to this writing, very little excitement prevails in
Washington in regard to the cremation of John
Brown. The ease is one having two broad sides to
it, and the Republicans themselves, In view of the
Presidential election, are not disposed to make any
demonstration, unless driven by violence and•vita.
peration. If ever the Federal City had any moral
value in the eyes of the country, it ought to have
it now. It is neutral ground. Located immedi
ately between two slaveholding States, It Is the
common property of all the members of the Confe
deracy. It may be said, indeed, to be the focus in
which are congregated the representatives .of
every, possible political opinion, and from which
ought to radiate a healthful and healing influence
into every State, North and South. In this, if in
uo other respect, the idea was a happy ono, of
placing the seat of Government of the United
States in this locality ; for, as the power of the
free States increases, and that of the slave States
diminishes, is it not, well that the latter should
hold in their embrace, not the ownership, but the
traditions of the spot upon which the operations of
ho General Government are oondciated, and whore
the representatives of all the people of the United
States annually assemble ? The population of
Washington is itself an augury in favor of conser
vative and moderato nation at all times. Apart from
the local tumults in our municipal eleotious—
which may bo said to be feeble copies of the vio
lence that has grown somewhat chronic, in Balti
more—no city in the Union has been so little dis
turbed by mobs ; and for the reason, that men
have come to look upon Washington, like the Il
lustrious sage whose name It boars, as an idea of
nationality, moderation, and fair dealing between
the respective Stem
Washington contains many eaves, an 4 a large
free colored population. In this oily aro published
not only Administration and Opposition, but Re.
publican journals. Here, reside retired states
men, coming from all parts of the Union, who pre
fer spending the sunset of their lives within the
influences which Imprensa' them in bygone years.
Above all, it is the resort of pot merely all the lie:
presentatives of the North and Bouth,,during the
meetings of Congress, but of thousands of citizens
who boast alike of their devotion to their re
epeotive Commonwealths, and of their love for an
equal Union. If we have any art, or learning, or
refinement in our coantry, and outside of this ca
pital, they are very glad to exhibit themselves
here. Strangers from tabor omintrias come hither
to study our institutions, our manners, ouraustams,
and our laws. Vast sums have been taken from
the public treasury to beautify this city, and private
citizens, out of abundant fortunes, have expended
an immeme amonnt of money to contribute to the
adornment of tho great political centre of our com
mon country. All these oiromastanoes will, I
have no doubt, conspire to moderate nation during
the coming session of Congress. The Republicans
themselves contemplate no rash movements, and
the extreme South will do ;yell to Imitate the mo
deration which seems to manifest itself on all hands.
OCCASIONAL.
Academy of Music.
This evening the new season of the Italian opera
will commence. 4n opera by Donisetti, never be
fore plaped in (this city, will be performed. It
will be put upon the:Aegis witk the same new end
splendid male en sque, as when bronght opt last
May, in New York, ant), with the same orchestra
and ohorus, under the direction of signor Muzio.
The opera in question Ie "The Martyrs," which
name has been °hanged to "Il Poliuto"—the
nomen of the tenor, who, of course, is the hero of
the piece, The following is a precis of the loading
incidents:
"The scene is at tlitylene I the period, tbat of
the third century after Christ, when the early
Christians were suffering, at the hands of tho Ro
man emperors and their satellites, the most terrible
persecution, which they bore with divine heroism,
inspired and sustained by the faith that was In
them. The libretto of The Martyrs,' by Scribe,
illustrates the faith, fortitnde, and constancy of
Panlina, a Roman lady, who su ff ered death rather
than deny the faith. The scene opens in a secret
vault, where the Christians have been holding re
ligious service. rolyutus, a Roman youth, who has
just become a ghristian, y among the worshippers.
Re describes his affeetion for Ms wife Paillina; who
is not yet converted, and who, in the next scene
joins in votive offerings to the heathen goddess,
Proserpine. Discovered by her husband, - Panlina
finds that be follows the new rites, and such Is his
enthusiasm that she can hardly restrain him from
proclaiming that ho is a Christian, in the face of
instant death.
" In the second act, Felix, Governor of Armenia,
father of Pauline, acquaints her with the foot
that he has received She commands of the Empe
ror to put all the Christians to death. Then there
arrives Severna, a new proconsul and a former
lover of Pauline, who, it was supposed, had fallen
in battle. Ike le oharge4 with the duty of suppress
ing the Christians. 'Eleveruii still loved Piddles,
and finding her the *ire anatber, 4et4tri 'the
greatest anguish, which dm shares, but revalue
constant to her marriage vows. fa the ne;t act
Noareus, a friend of Polyutus, and a Ohriotian,
having proclaimed himself a Christian is carried in
chains to the Temple of Jupiter and placed before
Severn and threatened with the torture union he
declares the names of his Christian friends. 110 re
fuses, and is about to be put to death, when Polyu
tus appears mid proclaims himself alollower of the
new dispensation. Polyutus pulls down the Motif
and tramples upon them. At the end of the eat
Polyutus and Negroes are condemned to death.
"lathe last act we find Serena magnanimously
endeavoring to save Polyutus, whose death Pella
has resolved upon, but who will be pardoned if he
recants. Panlipa bears this news to her husband
in prison. Ile refuses to Mita' to heathendom,
and she, touched by his devotion to hie religion in
the face of death, is herself inspired with holy fer
vor, and becomes likewise a Christian. The con
cluding scene is in the amphitheatre, where the
Christians, at the demand of the populace, arc to
be thrown to the wild beasts. Polyutus and Pau
line are aeleag the victims, and Severn, is unable
to save them from the hrptal Soldiery. The our
taln fall as the Cbriodane, with Pauline as the
central figure, await with mite* espectimoy, the
crown of martyrdota,"
Thor prinelpal performers in this opera are
three—Madame Gazzaniga, (whose return, after
repeated farewells, must be taken, we presume, to
betokon her extreme affection for this pity,) Signor
Brignoll, and Signor Amodio. It is said that all of
these, and especially Gazzaniga, sing very well in
this opera. It seems like going bank throe years
to find the saute trio op our lyric stage again.
To-morrow evening, in Vogiis opera of Itlgo
letto," that beautiful woman, fine actress, and ex
quisite vocalist, Madame Pauline Colson, will sus
tain the principal female part of Gilda, supported
by Madame btrakosoh as Magdalena, Signor
Stigelli (tenor) as the Duke, and Signor Gaetano
Ferri (baritone) as lligalett,?. These last two.aro
now to our opera loving people.
On Wednesday " The Sicilian Vespers," also by
Verdi, will be performed. This opera bee never
before been performed in this city. The principal
characters will be notably] by Madame Colson,
Signor Brignoli, Signor Ferri, and Signor Junes.
Madill° Dentin, Mr. Densfaadt, awl the ballot
corps from the Winter Garden, New York, will
dance, The Tarantella will be danced in the first
act. The scenery and properties are neak, and the
costumes and accoutrements from the moat eminent
oostnmlere and armorers of Prance and Italy.
This will be one of the most splendid spootaclw
operas ever produced. The expense in getting it
up is estimated at $15,000.

actress, who also is an excellent dramatic vocalist
makes her first courtesy before a Philadelphia
audience in a tbreo•aot operatic and spectacular
drama, (written expressly for her, we believe,)
called "A Daughter's Vow; or, Love's Disguises."
She takes the loading character of Amadi. , , in
which she will sing gems from the most celebrated
operas, and gives the dance from "La Zinga
rella." This play has been got up, we hear, with
great splendor and effect; new scenery and nosy
costumes have been prepared. Above all, the in
strumental music and songs here been arranged
by Mr. Charles It. Dodworth, whose taste keeps up
with the progressive spirit of the ago—who leads,
like a good performer as ho Is, with his violin, and
never, except when actually required, with an
office ruler in Ills band—and who is certainly equal
to the best theatrical leader in the country, not
even excepting Thomas Baker, of Now York, who
is also a live man, and not next neighbor to an
automaton. There are "lots" of dancing and oho.
ruses and 'made in this play of Mrs. Wood's, and
some beautiful tableaux. We have not the
slightest doubt, from what we saw and heard of
Mrs. Wood's acting and singing at the Boston
Theatre, two or three years ago, that she will be
as snocessful in this city as she has been every
where else.
Mr. and Mrs. Barney. Williams continuo to fill
Walnut-street Theitre, and their engagement mny
be considered ono of the decided bits of the season.
The peculiar attraction this week will be a piece
called "An Hour in Seville," to be brought out
with new scenery by Mr. Relater. This piece was
written for Mrs. Williams, by Charles Selby, an
English dramatist. In it she sustains eight differ
ent characters, male and female, and the point of
wonder we take to be the rapidity with which 'she
changes her costume. It may be recollected what
Miss Emma Stanley did in this manner, without
having any other person on the stage. Mrs. Wil
liams is said to be extremely successful in her
changes of drams. By the way, the richness of her
wardrobe is worthy of notice.
At McDonough's Gaieties, Race street, the
combs pantomime of 6 . Dechalutua," with Mons.
Calladine and A. M. Hernandez in the loading
parts, will be reproduced this evening. Next
"He Would he an Actor," by Levatt and Tho
mas, with the usual variety of dancing, singing,
and instrumental music, including a local banjo
solo by A. J. Levatt. Ravel's pantomime of
"Blanco" is in preparation bore, with new tricks
and transformations, Mons. Oalladine as Harle
qld7l, and Mr. Hernandez as Pierre. The manner
in which Mr. McDonough conducts this establish
ment accounts for its remarkable popularity. Be
deserves his success.
Thiodon'S Museum of Meeltanioal Arts, at Me
tropolitan fall, opposite 'Jones' Hotel, has already
been open for a fortnight, and we recommend it to
the attention of the publid. There Is a concluding
scene, Dolled a The Storm at Sea," which is deol•
dedly the most eiliolont tableau, or rather succes
sion of.mbleauz, wo ever saw. The Chinese
minatlons are very brilliant and varied, and the
viers of Gibraltar am! Verona are adtairaLle, Tho
marionettes in this Museum are . vary good—quite
equal to those of Mr. Woodin, of the Adelaide Gal
lery, London.
Signor Blitz continues at his now Saloon—com
monly called The Temple of Wonders—northeast
corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets, and hoe full
lipace every evening, as well 4113 on the anemone
orWednesday and Saturday.
The Kemp Old Folks' concerts, she of them, will
bo commenced at the National Hall to-morrow eve-
ning, and continuo every night in the week after,
and also on the afternoon of Wednesday and Satur
day. These performers, always good, have lately
been strengthened by the acooesion of some other
fine vocalists.
To-morrow evening, also, the Handel and Haydn
Society give their first concert of the season. It
comes off at Concert Hall. The•perfornnanoee will
consist of selections, vocal and instrumental, from
the compositions of Handel, Mozart, Haifa, Carafe,
and ethers. Handel's Hailstone Chorus and the
Misorore from Trovatoro" will be given. The
Germania Orchestra, led by Mr. Sent:, will accom
pany, and give the overtures to Zampa and Martha.
This is, indeed, a very capital programme, and
ought to fill Concert Hall to the ceiling.
DAN Rica'a GRKAT Suow.—The great show at
the National Theatre continues to be ono of the
most popular places of amusement. The building
itself is admirably arranged for Equestrian as well
as for Dramatio performances. The auditorium le
capable of seating a great number of persons, the
orchestra discourses appropriate music, the deco
rum of the establishment is preserved by most effi
cient officers, the artistes employed are among the
most accomplished of the profession, and every
thing conspires to render it one of the most agrees
ble'places of resort in Philadelphia—a fact, by the
way, which appears to bo amply appreciated by
our citizens. The manager is assiduous in hie ef
forts to please, and varies the mitertaintnents
nightly. Dan Rice's jokes and witticisms never
fail to piodupe hearty applause, and although
his budget of fun semis to he Inexhaustible, no
thing is said or done that could offend tho taste of
the most fastidious. In accordance with the pro
mise to present novelties at. intervals during the
Season, .Joe Pentland; the old rtilladelphla favo
rite, will make hip first appearance this evening,
with a now stock of drolleries, and will goubliecs
be greeted by a crowded house, The champion
vaulter, W. 0. Dale, has also been engaged, and
will perform with the gymnastic corps several new
feats. The rhinoceros and elephant, which form an

[For The Press.]
In your paper of this morning you bead a long
article thus: "Execution of John Brown.—The
'Pooling ip Philadelphia.—Nmense meeting at
National Peiged.—intense
Excitement, ,to."
Now all this, with the single exoeption of "Evoca
tion of John Brown," appears to uio exceedingly
objectionable, for the following racoons :
It was not such an "Immense meeting," for even
the little outside "Provincial town" of Philadel
phia to have. Only the " Intenso excitement " of
a few fanatics was exhibited. By these only, a
very small number indeed, could it bo said, with
truth, was ho "Willed," and it was not the "Fool

A considerable portion of moll as attended the

curiosity.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE ELECTIONS IN OHIO.—
The Citminnati Thiquirer of the Ist instant says:
The election for delegates yesterday, to the two
Demooratie District Conventions, which meet to:
day—the Fere: District at the hail of the Young
Men's National Democratic Association, southeast
corner of the Court•housu; and the Second at
tenckenetein's Garden, at the heed of Western
avenue rood—resulted almost unanimously in favor
of Mr. Douglas' friends. We never knew a more
unanimous and ueiversal sentiment in favor of a
single individual since the days of General Jack
son. The peasoeracy, on popular sovereignty and
Douglas, aro like the han4le pf a ug—all on Ono
aide. All that the Conventions wil l have to do to
day will be to select true men for delegates to
Charleston—men who can bo relied. on in any
emergency for the dietinguishad statesman of Illi
nois."
The same paper says, in another article " The
Democracy of Butler oonnty elected, on Saturday,
Ity wards and townships, thirty-six delegates to
the District convention, composed of the counties
of Butler, Montgomery, and Preble. Thirty-one
out of the thirty-six delegates are open and decided
Douglas men. The Lalre county Democrats voted
down a resolution sustaining Mr. Buchanan, and
adopted a resolution instructing the delegates to
the State and District Convention to vote for Doug
las delegates to Charleston. Wo notice that so
strong and overpowering is the Demooratto feel
ing for Mr. Douglaethat those who desire to go
to Charleston as delegates are compelled to put on,
if they do not really entertain it, a friendly feeling
for Mr. Douglas."

Affairs, under date the 30th ult., to the ambassa

representatives of Prussia that the Emperor Alex
ander of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia,
who had not seen each other for a considerable
time, were desirous of meeting In order to confer
Personally upon numerous political subjects affect
ing equally the two courts of Berlin and St. Peters
burg. They met in the Prussian city of Breslau,
where they passed two days. They had frequent
interviews, and aro firmly convinced of the identi

state of Europe. The two Princes have had no
difficulty to contend with, either upon the general
character of pending and foreseen questions or upon
the solutions which these questions may and ought
to receive, and they are agreed .14 to the identical
path which the two Cabinets should follow In the
future.

A correspondent of tho rimes in Japan writes
from Jeddo, August ; " There la too much rea
son to believe that a powerful party among the

everything rather than permit peaceable inter
course and, good relations with the European Pow
ers to be established; and the late cheeks suffered
by the allies at Peiho and the French at Cooniu
China, with the war raging in Europe at the pre
sent moment, may all tend to embolden them to
make the effort, without further delay, to drive the
missions from the °upliftl and all trade from the
port. There is not a single lloglith, French, or
Amerlean iliip-of•war in the Japanese waters,
which would embolden the Jo noose."

THE ARRIVAL OP Joux BROWN'S REMAINS
IY PHILADF.LPRIA.-GREAT EXCITEMENT —A SCC
CISSSFI'L DECErTION.—It was announced by the
telegraph that the mortal remains of John,Bmwn
would be brought to this city on Saturday after
noon, on their way to the North. The announce
ment led to a great deal of excitement in certain
circles, and long before the arrival of the train
supposed to contain the body of the deceased, a
large crowd of people ware contested around the
Baltimore depot. The crowd was a motley one,
and was composed of a great many colored people,
together with men, women, and children of the
lazon denomination.
The Mayor, Chief of Police, and a strong force
of officers were present, and no persona were per
mitted to enter the depot unless they had business
there. The crowd was eager to see the remains,
and all sorts of expedients were resorted to for the
purpose of gaining fumes, to the building; belt all
in vain—the officers were obdurate. At fifteen
minutes before one o'clock the oars rumbled into
the depot, and the pa;sengers commenced pouring
nut. Among them was a stout, elderly lady,wear
ing a plaid blanket shawl. and having nothing very
remarkable In her appearance. She leaned upon
the arm of Mr. Hector Tyndale, of thlu city, who
had nccompsnied her in the ears. This lady was
the wife of John Wot. Two other ladles, and
several septiemen who are well known in anti
slavery circles, followed Mrs. Brown and her pro.
teeter. The party went into the street, and passed
through the crowd without the identity of Mrs.
Brown being suspected, and they then proceeded
on foot down Washington street to Yleventh, where
they got into a railway ear. and Mrs. Brown was
escorted to the dwelling of Mr. Edward Hopper, in
Arch street. She afterwerds accompanied the re
mains of her husband to New York.
It naturally occurred to the minds of the Mayor
and his officers, that the departure of the body
from the depot would Ind to a scene of indignity
and indecency, extremely discreditable to oar
citizens, and painful to the feelings of the friends
of the deceased. An expedient was resorted to by
the Mayor, which was very successful. A wagon
in the yard of the depot WAR pounced, and in it
was placed a tool-bo.c,, covered with horse blankets :
several officers took their places in the vehiele, and it
'trove off down Broad street, on the road to the New
York depot. The news spread, that the body of
Brown was in the vehicle, and the erowd started off
In pursuit. The scone was one of a ludicrous descrip
tion. It teemed as if all the boys and negroes
in town were in full speed. A number of women
were in the crowd, and all joined in the hue and
cry. The crowd Increased as the wagon sped on
its way. until It got into the more densely crowded
parts of the city, when it lessened, and the box war
taken to Walnut-street wharf, where it was han
dled with all the formality becoming do remains
of one so celebrated as 40,,hu Brown, of Ossawa
tondo.
In the meantime, the coffin, containing the real
remains of the deceased, was quietly placed in a
baggage car, driven unnoticed to the Camden de
rot, and was locked up in a baggage orate before
the tool-box and its Mowers had reached its des
tination. Tho body of Brown was In, the plain
citizen's dress in which be had been executed. It
was the wish of the friends who accompanied it
that It should remain fir a time in Philadelphia,
where it could bo placed In the hands of an under
taker; but the Mayor objected to this detention,
and the body wee accordingly taken further North.
Mrs. Brown wee accompanied to this city by J.
Miller McKim, Hector Tyndale, and a mambas of
ladies There was a oommittee of Ave, headed by
the Rev. Dr. Furness. waiting at the depot to re
ceive the remains of the deceased.
THE DOINGI Or PICATOCKETS.—A number of
pickpockets, and others of the lame fraternity,
were arrested on Saturday at the Baltimore depot
They were bually engaged in plying their vocation
among the unsuspecting watchers for the arrival
of the deceased captain of the Harper's Ferry in
vaders. One of them named Bill Oliver. an elderly
member of the pocket-picking persuasion. and who
has had his photograph in the municipal colleotion
of scamps for some time, was taken by one of the
officers, and had a hearing before Alderman Ye
mington, who committed him to answer the
charge in default of $l,OOO bail. Two other fel
lows, named Mysterious Jim and Charlie Stafford.
known as comrades of Oliver, were seen in the
crowd, but made their escape. •
While the people were crowding Into the Na
tional Theatre on Friday evening, eager to procure
their tickets, two New York pickpockets, well
known to the police of that city as George Stewart,
alias George anti John Isadensdale, alias
Liverpool Jack, were discovered in the crowd, bu
sily engaged in relieving the seekers atter amuse
ment of their watches. jewelry, and pocket-books.
After they had robbed one man of a watch they
were arrested. Ladensdale was seen to throw the
timekeeper away before being taken into custody.
It was picked up by 'Lieutenant Paulin. and re
stored to its owner. The moulted were both com
mitted by Alderman Swift
Escarr. or.. Pa xsomsa.—About four o'clock
yesterday morning. a man named John C. Cleaver,
who had been confined in the Norristown jail, un
der a sentence of fifteen years imprisonment for
burglary, effected his emape. Ile was in an upper
cell, near the roof of the jail, which was arched
with brick. With a Barlow knife, and by dint of a
great deal of hard labor, he succeeded-at length in
making a hole in the roof largo enough to admit
his body. Ile then gained the roof, and with the
aid of a rope-ladder manufactured out of weaver
strings, and fastened to the cornice of the building,
lie reached the ground and made his escape unde

the principle of an evil for every good, for the de
lightful weather we have experienced during the
few past weeks. On Friday night a high and cold
wind commenced blowing from the Northwest,
scattering the dust and driving the signboards in
inexplicable confusion. Saturday opened up to us
a sky covered with clouds, accompanied by the
keenest of breams that ever came from the North
east. The wind lulled during the early part of the
day, and finally dissolved into a slow, uncertain,
and drizzling rain, mixed with hail. During the
night the rain and hail became so hard and slip
pery by the frost that walking was a dangerous
experiment. Nothing more disagreeable than tie
present state of the weather could be imagined,
and we would advise all of our raiders not having
policies in a life insurance company to remain at
home

are the particulars of the piracy and murder :

Geuillot Faustin Eloy, Joe —, and Jose Maria
Ortega, a deserter from the Spanish army. After
being oat two or three days it was proposed among
the crew to kill the captain, and being near the
Florida roast, near Hillsboro', the vessel was run

attemp: was male to get her off. Alter getting

was caught under it and drowned. The others,
being so intent upon the death of the captain. al

made piteous appeals for his life, reminding
Charley, or Charles Basis, that he. the captain,

here remarked. • If you are going to kilt him. do
it at once.' Davis then takes a pump-brake and
goes into the water, and by eight or nine bl

and buried. Joe was then taken out from under
the boat, and endeavors made to restore him
to life, which were fruitless, and after the lapse
two days he was buried, and prayers read
over his grave by the mate. A. tent was then
erculed ashore. the small boat repaired and the
captain's trunk carried to the tent and broken
open. It was found to contain about one hundred
and tatenty•two Mexican ounces, which were divi

days were picked up by the United States light
house schooner Delaware, Captain Owens, whom
they told that Captain Morantes bad 'seen

dentally knocked overboard by the boom, and
in wearing the vessel to look for him, she went
ashore. Before the suspicions of Captain

took the small boat and escaped to Tam

was taken from the tour remaining. ard tiny were
