Nobody likes. tO find fault with good deeds, or even with good intentions. Every one is ready and willing to acknowledge that' the Guardians of the Poor, since the establish ment of:the present systeni, have done a vast deal of good, both to the city' and to the poor entrusted .to their keeping. But while they are justly praised by Councils for their econo my, and_ while they have saved the . treasury some sixty thousand dollars, thoughtful readers will be struck by appeals from .Dr. Marian and the Rev. Mr. Jona, the physician and chaplain of the insane departelent, and the question will inevitably suggest itself, what gain is there in saving the city sixty thousand dollars, and calling on private citizens to sup= ply the tint requirements of a hospital for in sane paupers 2 What merit is there in yielding to a cry for retrenchment and' reform.in cut ting down paltry extras, and in promising to save in quality, as they have already done in quantity, when the most helpless poor- : -the insane—are suffered -to remain dependent upon the tender mercies of private charity? Every, day we see and hear of the great re suite obtained by the , establishment of public hospitals for the insane. Nay, we know that ; our own citizens have raised nearly halt a mil- i lion of dollars for the establishment and s up., port of a new hospital for the insane, intended for the care and cure of a few hundred patients. We are all familiar with the details of many new and improved methods of ' arranging such a building, because tho mils/vapors but a little while ago gave fall and explicit accounts of em. Yet the Guardians of the Poor, have, ulation of nearly .three thousand mdred, insane entrusted , ,to condition aro they • n _wasitraly . Ivere their care A low months ago deplorable, and, while the been able, even with the exeteise economy, to benefit them very to them and clothe them deeentl ;Wproc tb_ services of a physielan—thitshcitilego' on in their reform. The tax-payatt.itry:biladel phia will not Complain ofany expenditure made in the name of humanity, and on the behalf of the most helpless poor.. Their chief solici- . tride in regard to the expenditures of the Alms- . house does not arise from any aversion to le gitiniate expenses, but from their antipathy to shameless extravaganeeand They arc-willing - 1p - prOidaultroperly for the poor lf they are-ntif compelled to fill the pock ets ofsflooderers. Every man who contributed to the funds for the Pennsylvania Hospital for the 'lnsane would gladly see the Guardians spend a portion of their savings for the benefit pf the insane Inmates of our Almshouse. It is plain that a fit and suitable building is abso lutely necessary, that a system of classifies tion should be adopted, that a thorough and entire change should be made in addition to the few steps that hive thus far been taken In the right direction. But no man would est the Guardians to start out 'in this task, alone and unaided, and without the co-operation of Councils. Our city legislators should, there fore, give to this subject the consideration its importance demands. The success that has attended the new sys tem under which the Board of Health and the Guardians of the Poor now exist has - been put beyond question by the comparison of the re sults thus far attained by them with the die graceful history Of their predecessors. But the very sins that produced, fortunately lot the community, the-exposure and downfall of the old system, had their origin in political partisanship. It is with regret, therefore, that we see even now traces of the same evil crop ping out in the proceedings of the Guardians, in their warm debates over p'etty subjects, in their hot disputes for miserable appointments' and in their decided separation on mere party lines. The remedy for this rests with the judges, and we hope that, in the exercise of their power of appointment, in filling the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Kama, they will evince an earnest desire to forwent the great interests of the city. Only mon raised far above mere partisan influences can Overly deal with such subjects as must soon come before the Guardians. They must de= . Bide upon the sale 'of the part or of the whole of their real estate, for it is now a vast weight on them, but' may be made either a source of immense benefits, or a cause of infinite trou ble. They must soon settle the question of a house of Correction, either within their own jurisdiction, or as a separate establishment, with new division of authority, and new risks of wastefulness, and corruption. They must soon decide, whether or not they will act es the representatives of the people, as the ap pointed guardians of the poor,"or as the mere agents of the City Councils, as suldordinate in strnments of political power—and, to give them firmness and strength to make the only true choice, the judges should appoint' such a Guardian as they have just lost, tit truly high-minded, tristworthy,and intelligent man. 44 The Nan in Illaok.” ' Several anonymous correspondents have written fone about this novel, by G. P. It. James, lately Published by T. B. Peterson k Brothers. One wri• ter, whogivos his name and address, haselso made a complaint, and wo answer him. We praised the novel or romance in question, as one of James's best—with the' exception of a few of his high:Weal Merles with% we named. Our correspondent tells ms that'"'The, Man In.Bleek" was published years - ago as "A Story without a Name," and that we should. haina 'the public acquainted with that Jut., Never having seen a book sailed ";A Story without a Name," we could scarcely have detioted it to ,be "The Mau in Black."

',Viol number of Punch, for January 28th, jnailiceived, contains a page-engraving bear ing,the above title. It represents Mr. Rion .kcn:Conons, the groat champion of Free Traddin England, habited as the, mistress of a Country school, busily occupied in knitting,' while Kirovuolf, dwarfed down into a school boy, is intently occupied in taking a lesson front a book, open in her lap. Upon the first pno of ibis volume am inscribed the words “Free Trade," which NAPOLEON is engaged in learning, and has actually conquered the 'first word,,c,t7 R, &nide E—free." COBDEN is lookieg down very. approvingly upon his pupil, who seems most engrossingly occupied. , The .leading. conditions of the Commercial treaty between England and France are stated by a Parisian journal, the 'Colutilutiennel, to be as foliMvs - "Orland after Ist July next. the import duties on cotton-wool will be suppressed... English coal end' coke will be subjected to the same duty as in Belgium. After October - next a duty of seven francs will be substituted for the actual duty on iron.! •From December next duties on machinery will be diminished. 'From January, 1861, the su gar duty will be reduced. From June, 1861, pro hibitions of the Importations of threads and hemp will be replaced by a duty not exceeding thirty per cent:. and from October. 1861, all remaining pro hibitions will be abolished." The main pOint noticed, per contra, by the English journals is, that French wines, which now pay twenty-four cents per bottle when imported into England, will henceforth be ad mitted at four gents a bottle, which will tend to increase the consumption of claret, and di• mbilah that of port and sherry, wines which are very greatly brandied, to increase their strength, and adapt them for the English pa late, accustomed to strong wine. The substi tution of claret for the • fiery wines of Spain and.Pdrtugal, (not naturally so, but 'brandied for English drinkers,) will liaie a tendency to make Temperance fashionable in England. In 1846, after. Sir itortzav PEEL had been compelled, or induced, to grant Free Trade in England, the magnificent sum of $850,000 was raised by subscription and presented as a sort of national, gift to Mr. Coanrx, whose talent and perseverance had mainly been instrumen tal •in raising such a general, feeling against PrOtection, that PEEL dared not adhere to it ' any longer., A portion of that money Mr. COEDEN Invested in purchasing the landed pro perty which his father had formerly cultivated as a day laborer.. The balance, it seems, was invested• in the United States. The London Atheaccum thus communicates the result, of which we had beard something before : "The public will regret to bear a rumor that Mr. Comm has lost nearly the whole of his pri vate fortune by investment in American rail way shares. They will rejoice. however, if the rumor ahould be true, to hear that the loss will be repaired to this useful servant of tho public, in a manner at once splendid, delicate, and prompt. In a few days, If we are rightly told, names have been put down for forty thousand pounds—ln sums from 600 to 6,000 each. The friendlinese thus expressed is a most noble tribute to public virtue and public service:' We do not precisely see upon what principle Mr:COBDEN, tempted by the promise of high interest—as was Sontsr Sarni before him—to speculate foreign railway shares, should have his losses made good to him by the British public, his countrymen. Of course, however, that is their look-out. All we can my is, that • Mr. COBDEN, who may boast of having had two illustrious free-trade pupils— PEEL and Koroteox —is an especially lucky man to be a second time presented a magnifi cent fortune. The sum of two hundred thou mud dollars (£40,000), subscribed for him in e few days, is the most tangible mark of re spect ever given to a private eitizen in Eng land. • Parliament paid PITT'S debts, and pen sioned the widow and children of PERCIVAL. The sum of £60,000 was voted by the Irish Parliament to Gn.arrex—but here is COBDEN 'wire provided for. No Pisrisinti Congress. It appears likely that, after the diplomacy teed to accomplish it, the Peace Congress If Paris will not take place. Perhaps, under thecircrunstances, this is the very best thing Central Italy, which has ejected its Aus lien rulers. England is pledged not to sane ''on any ,attempt , foreibly to restore these m • , -,-,Ernesits'itill 'assuredly follow %gland's example.

All they want is Into, and that they will obtain by the delay in - be sitting of the Congress. France, no less ban England, is Indisposed to force upon )entral Italy, a hatch of obnoxious and justly .xiled rulers. Fears are apprehended that NA mum' desires to obtain Nice and Savoy from Vierou Esixasozi. Nice may be very conve dent for France, but it rounds off Piedmont m the South. As for Savoy, it was the origi tal appanage -of the King of Sardinia's anym ore, and ho can scarcely part with it. It is declared that, in exchange for Nice and Savoy, the island of Corsica is to be givetfup 'o the Kingdom of Sardinia, by France. This kppears highly improbable. Franco is not ikely to part, on any terms, with the birth dace of the Great NAPOLEON. It was ceded o France, by Genoa, in 1768, a few months mfore Naimoli's birth, and France will ‘carcely, part with it. At the same time, its mographical position—between Piedmont and ho island of Sardinia—emphatically marks it is properly part of VICTOR EIiOCAN un's ter it,ory. But we doubt whether, under\ any cir lumstances, France will censent to give it up. Public. Amusements. Taa KIMMEL' OPERA CORANY wllt commence 'hart season at tho Academy of Music this even. ag.

The gay, dashing Annie, has neen long renowned in the profession as the Piquet if the English stage—that being the line of busi ness in 'which she excels—a beautiful English blonde, with a merry, ringing laugh, and charm. ing eimeglecie of rape, that would bewitch an an. rhorite. She wins the hearts of her auditors the moment she appears, and retains them. by the talent she displays. Although the great original " Good for Nothing," in this country, she has been °renounced "Good for everything," (including hypochondria) wherever she has appeared. Miss Gonadal°, and her sister Addle, who have been starring in the West, were to have appeared at the Jornmenoement of the season ; but on their way hither by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railroad, the train was thrown down an embank. men; and both were seriously injured. Annie le now convalescent, but months will elapse era her sister is able to resume her professional avocations. Meanwhile we feel matured the brilliant Annie will receive a warm and cordial greeting. .

Old residents will remember the'farore occasioned by its repro. sentation in this city some thirty years since, when the famous elephant Efad'ile D'Jcck, since im mortalised in one of Ohio. Read's works, enacted the rdle of the sacred Elephant of Siam." At that time' there was a fierce rivalry existing between the Chestnut and Arch street Thea tres, and, the exertions of the respective mana gers of those two places of amusement to se cure the elephantine attractions, form a promi. nent incident in the annals of the Philadelphia stage. We are told that great dare has been be stowerupon the scenery and dresses, which are taken from sketches furnished by Celebrated travellers. The dialogue has been rewritten and modernised, end the entire strength of the double company will be included in the east. The lively and famine :tog oomedienne, Miss Annie Lone dale, will make her first appearance at the Na. Gond On this occasion. A variety of ring per formances, in which Dan Rice himself and the full troupe will APPellt, is inelnded in the programme. WASHINGTON OGREESPONDENO2. Letter from 4, Ocertsiouttl.” (Correepondenee of The Nona WASHINGTON, Fob. 15,1800. Tho appearance of Mr. Wekman, whoa he delivered hie tine "eulogy ori Senator Brode- risk, in - the Nouse of Representatives, on Mon day last, was exceedingly Impressive. Ile had been spitting blood for some days before, and, indeed, has been in a most debilitated con dition ever since the commencement of the ses sion. Ills paleface, his flashing biaok eye, and his dear, ringing tones, touched with the deepest melancholy, were alike evidences of his heroic moral courage and his enfeebled health. Ills eulogy was a masterpiece of composition and of rhetoric, and, although the Fouthern members seemed inspired by a sudden motive to leave their seats almost in a body the moment the ceremonies commemorating the death of the illustrious Senator from California began, the galleries !Waged with breathless eagerness, and the Douse was stilled be fore the tributes of those who spoke of his fame, his fearleassess, and his patriotism. It doeinot i betome me to comment upon the at tempt made on Friday to put an indignity upon Mr. Dickman, because all parties seem desirous of hushing that event, of hiding it from the sight of day, and especially from the newspapers; but f could not help wondering whether the Southern men, as they saw the Representative from Ohre ter and. Delaware counties before them, did not feel that it wee a sorry way to avengehis intrepid support of the rights of the North, by setting upon him the strong and stalwart men who deem it their special duty to uphold what they conceive to bo the injured honor of the Old Dominion. The truths that Hickman speaks are stronger and mightier than the sword or the pistol, more irre sistible than marching armies and thundering can non, and more pormita than party combinations, because they sink PAW and aro written on the hearts of the people. They are seeds which, once planted, can never be eradicated, because they are not only logical, but righteous, and because they are fortified by the history, by the tradition, and by the covenants of the Constitution and of the Democratio party. Mr. Rickman departed foiChester county yes torday morning. He leaves behind him many warm hearts that beat proudly and high at the mention of his name ; and when ho goes back to the constituents whom he is serving here, mold in- conceivable peril and at almost incalculable semi flee, be aught to be received with open arms, for they have in him one who, unawed- by power, un terrified in the midst of malignities of the most tm precedented character, has nobly persevered in maintaining what he believed to be right, and Is even now ready to give up his life as an additional tlibuto to this fact. The demonstration in the Senate a few days ago, when the Wyandotte Constitution was laid before that bely by Vice President Breckinridge, clearly shows that it is a foregone conclusion on the part of the Adminietration and Southern men to keep Kansas out of the Union. It gives me great plea sure to inform the readers of The Press that Judge Douglas will insist on the floor of the Senate upon the admission of that State. I speak of this as I heard it, not from his immediate Mena, bat from the Republicans, and trust and believe that the sequel will sustain my declaration. Among the visitors now at the national capital, I met, a few days ago, our old friend, once known so well in Penpaylvania as "Joe Williams," the far-famed clerk of•the Constitutional Convention, which sat at Musical Fend Hail more than twenty years ago to reform the Constitution pr our Mate. Ile is now a hale man of sixty, with a heard almost as white as snow, and bears a close ream- Manes to the pictures I have seen of John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame.

(Corresrondesoe of The Press.] WASHINGTON, February 15, 1850. Ati I approached my desk to day, I espied every dainty oream•colored envelope upon it, and re membering that it ;was Valentine's—the era of human-sweetness and billet-dorm, -a thrill of de light exalted my fingers to unusual haste in grasp dis missive. I bad almosiressedAwa n l, ni-fillittir,t;ras far advaneed beyond the age usually selected by the fair to shower their fevers upon. I opened the letter, and behold its contents : " EMS% RICITAODO, ESQ.—Honored Sir: We beg to present to YOU a bottle of opaldlng's Prepared Glue, with the hope that you will find it maul not only in the humble department of household economy, but also In the oatriotio work of cementing together our gloriou s Union, which is being so shaken by seotiorud p :salons nod Interests, and whose preservation Is so important to the welfare of olvilizttion and humanity. " With tho best wishes for your health and happiness, we remain, dear sir, your obedient servants, "HENRY C. STALLING & CO." I had scarcely read this politic) and patriotic) 3 - platle, when, raising my eyes, I found every man 'n the Ilotise—every Representative on the ileor, Ind every reporter in the gallery--perusing just •uoh another Elooe of looking note-paper. I am not mistaken, for a proclamation issued by W. D. Shepherd—who was kieked out dot:Boo for being a Douglas man, and made way for Pete Ilale,wholately made a way for himself and decamped as a default sr—announces that at this moment the President A' the United States, the Vice President, the Speaker of the Rouse of Representatives, the mem bore of the Cabinet, the members of the kitchen into, the Senators anti Representatives in Con great assembled, the lobby members of ditto, the editors and duly accredited correspond ents and reporters, are presented with -an bottle of this glue, to enable them to stick to rather for the benefit of the public welfare; and also that the foreign ministers and diplomatique corps are furnished with the same, to enable them to stick to their own affairs. The announcement seems to have been thoroughly carried out. At this moment Spalding's glue supersedes tbo ques tion of Post Mee appropriation, the abolition of the franking privilege, or the House printer. It is in the month of every Representative, but falls to stick their lips together. Green Adams, of Kentucky, presented to-day the certificate of the delegate from Jefferson Territory, and the memorial of the provisional Government begging the usual ,legislation preparatory to the admission of Jefferson as a State of the Union. Two ballots were taken for printer to the House. The voting was close, Defrees being one ahead of Glessbrenner, and only lacking one of a majority. During the balloting, Colonel Florence made very judicious objections to members crowding round the tellers' desk. Ile had several occasions of re newing and insisting upon his objections, gentle• men, on both aides, not being able to withstand the promptings of curiosity which the closeness of the vote inspired. After the second ballot, Mr. Bouligny made a motion to adjourn, which was followed by motions of various kinds and general noise and confusion. After considerable parleying, another vote was agreed to, which is now being taken. The day is dull—a heavy snow-storm outside; and inside, to make amends for the dullness ou the floor, we have the gas (at 2 o'clock) overhead. 'The seats are more than half empty. The members aro engaged in chat and the news papers. The whole air of the place is that of a reading room, to which the aroma of coffee and cigars would bo a natural and decided improve ment. It was amusing to witness the solemnity with which Emerson Etheridge delivered his vote every timo for " Gales d: Beaton," as though ho could elect two printers. The vote on the third ballot, to-day, has just been announced, and resulted as follows: Votes cast, 182.

The route bad been surveyed and found to be practicable, by corps of competent engineers, and the cost would be about £OOOO per mile.

A woman named Ellen Welch was found last night by one of the policemen roving about the streets, slightly intoxicated. She was arrested upon the charge of vagrancy. Parties who are knowing to her history inform us that some five or six years ago Ellen ran away from Ireland in company with a dashing young Irishman whom her parents had forbidden her to marry. liar lather lived at Castle earnoy, and was a man of opulence and influence, and Ellen had been well brought up. But with that perverseness which is always oharaoteristioof love, was boot on marrying the young officer. She ac cordingly eloped with him, and earns to Philadel phia, where she was married. She lived with her husband about a year, at the expiration of which time he died. She then came to Chicago and married again, but again was doomed to misfortune., liar husband, who had the reputation of being an excellent man, was drowned in the river by falling from a achooner. Ellen maintained herself by sewing for a time, but finally fell in with disreputable characters, who fleeced her out of her clothing, and an allowance of thirty dollars which aho received every three months from her father, through the priest. She took to drinking and by gradual descents soon fell to a low depth.
