• Some weeks - ago *resew the child, for the
secoad time, at the residence of 'a highly re
spectable ftunily in this city. She appeared
in rude health,. and every way improved.
When not rending or reciting, (assisted in the
latter'hilfrs.:lttiazis,) She flung herself, like
a,itery child, is she is in ago, into social on
joy,nient and companionship with the youngest
little girl in the room—in whom, by the
we happen to have' a personal interest, and
theietore More closely watched the brace of
juveniles. - She appeared very happy, awl de
votedly attached to Mrs. Swiss. Since that
evening, little' Bun has ,read and recited at
other respectable houses in , this city—some
tinies twice, sometimes thrice a week, never
oftener.
We learned, with some surprise, the other
day, that Fa'oreira Wurrrnet, the father, had
resorted, to the same legal process (a
writ of habeas corpus) to obtain possession of
thtichild whom he ntirrendered to apprentice
ship when she was some monthi under three
yearn of age, and that the application had
been made through Mrs. E. F. Bus; of New
York, a philanthropic old lady, of a literary
turn—a very Don Quixote in crinoline—who,
following the, example of (humucras' great
hero, gives herself considerable trouble about
the'affehn of other people, and showing great
Unilety redress wrongs—which do not
exist. • Yesterday Chief Justice LOWRIE ad

custody until the case is decided. •

know, that the child is evidently of sound health
of mind and body, is not at all over-worked,
takes an evident pleasure in the slight exhibi
tion niado of her, is a very child in her amuse
ments, and :is most caretblly and lovingly
cherished by Mrs. Beans, for whom she has
a daughter's "affection.

The lad 'news from London, bearing date
'Fobniary 2d, Is extremely important—if true.
It states; in the authority of Le Nord, the
gressiiin organ, published In Brussels, that
couriers' bad • left London and Paris with
ideOtical instructions to the representatives of
the two Powers at Turin, directing them to
make known to the Sardinian Cabinet that the
Governments of •France and England soo no
objection to the , annexation of Central Italy
beciming gc . ni fait accompli." If this be so,
the Italian' question may be considered as
'geed as settled. Tho Duchies may have their
wilh and immediately become incorporated
with Piedmont, under the liberal and constitu
tional rule of Vicron Exibtainsx, and it will
be only a question of time as to the Romagna
being placed in a similar position.
The Pope is likely to lose his disaffected
provinces, and his old supporter, NAPOLEON,
who bears the courtesy title of eldest son
of the 'Church'," Seems in a ihir way to cast
off all non:duel allegiance to Rome, precisely
as Harms VIII did, three centuries since, and

WAIMINOTON, Feb. 17, MO
Another cot of despotism is about to be attempted
in the United States Senate. A. committee has
been appointed at an Administration caucus, corn
posed of Messrs,
of
'of Missouri, Germ of Cali.
fonds; Digler 'of Pennsylvania, Fitch of Ind'-
coo, and Chesnut of South Carolina, to report
upon the subject of the protection of slave property
in the Territories. This movement is intended to
anticipate the action of the Charleston Convention;
Mother worde, to construct a platform for the De
aimiratio patty, by which that Convention is to bo
gUlded and governed.. The names of the Senators
composing thin committee 'indicate clearly that
nothing will be submitted to the forthcoming cau
cus of the Senators that will recognise in the
slightest degree,the great principle upon which the
, Dentooratio party triumphed in 1856.
In the olden' limo, when the Congressional can
'ens regulated national politics, the result was a
popidar unriaing, and the creation of what is now
known:as National Conventions. In those can
cures both the' Democratic members of the Senate
and. the Molise' participated. Now, ouch is the
tendency of the Administration towards centrali
sation, that they confer upon the Senate alone
iietatorial powers, and take oaro to exclude from
the ,00mmittee 'to whom they refir the duty of
Making a platform for the millions composing the
4reerloan Democracy, all men who sympathize
with , Judge Donglat. The course of Senator
fligierho, after pledging himself to the popular
aoveyeigniidoctilne, in the "most' public, perseve
ring, and pointed manner, on the stump and in the
press, in -Kansas, and in Pennsylvania, be-
Immo; at last; its most offensive and noisy assail
ant, and, who bee been, by terns, for and against
the Wilmot 'Proviso, mid for and against the Ne
braska bill—shows oonolusively that he is willing
to submit to any scheme that may be devised for
the purpose of,. pleasing extreme men of the
South, by still farther humiliating the great State
of Pennsylvania.
Senator 'Fitch, another member of the commit
tee, has become renowned for his early assault
upon - Judge Douglas; in - the Senate, and for the
repetition of that assault not many days ago. Ilia
own Stat 6, at the late Convention of her Demo
cracy, took the strongest grounds adverse to; his
present position, and there can be no doubt that
he, toe, will be found ready to acquiesce in the de
mands of Messrs. Green, Chesnut, and Gwin—the
latter of whom,
as the country will well remember,
was among the first to approve . the' Lesompton
policy of Mr. Buchanan, and among the most
merciless in sustaining the proscription of the in
dependent men who resisted that policy. ills own
State is now said to be contemplating his recall
from the Senate.
theseitre the men who are to build np a plat
forrisothieh will in reality boa soatfold upon which
'the ,Tieat underlying and fundamental principles
of the Demooratio party aro to be executed and
Vistioyed.
The - history of politics furnishes no parallel to
this usurpation. While the masses of the Demo
oracy all over the Union are being agitated in an
earnest canvass to sleet delegates to the Charles
ton Convention, while the free States are closing
up their columns steadily in favor of the doctrine
of Popular aovereighty, a few men here constitute
themselves into a censorship, end deliberately pro
oeedto hew down the noblest political alba that
has ever existed in this or any other country.
They are, In fact, another star chamber, and as
,blind and deaf to the demands of the Democracy,
and td the eipeotations of the people, as if they were
clothed With the prerogatives of royalty, and
entrenched behind the divine rights of kings. Bo
mush indignation has been excited here by this
movement that I might hope it would be aban
doned, if the whole previous course of the Adminis
tration did not warrant me in the apprehension
that it will be persevered in.
- - A grand display will take plane in this city on
the Twenty-second of February at the Mang Ora
tion of the nevr statue of WASHINGTON by Clark
Whs. Both Homes will participate in the cere
mony, and if the day is fine a magnitloent pageant
will be exhibited to tens of thousands of delighted
spectators. 'OccAstONAL.

We have had a stormy time, a very stormy time—in.
deed, a perfect hurricane in the Hones, today. The
most exalting period during the days of the ever-to, be.
remembered fight for Speaker was child's play, so far as
clamor was concerned, ixtcomparlson. And yet no one
said the Union was in danger. There was not a iridium
of dissolution. South Carolina wee not going out of the
Union, nor was Kansas coming in. Governor Smith
was not drinking egg-nogg. A pistol had not been die
covered on the person of John 13. Mackin. Mr. Horace
Clark even had not arrived at the conclusion that he
would take the responsibility. Porter had not accused
his colleague, John G. Dacia, with being more
republican than the Republicans nor had Cox openly
thanked Thomas Corwin for gaming him some Demo
cratic 'Voice. In foot, nothing wnloh could create a
mortal combat or excite a seotionality of spirit from
which the worst results might be antmipated. No, the
Union did not " hang by a thread," nor did any mem-
Mir tread on the toes of any other member. No. the
'toil and Vouhie'vrie all created by the' introduction of
desks end ohalra on available spots of the floor by come
dollen or* eighteen gentlemen who were not satisfied
;with the present, to me, excellent arrangement. Mr.
Foram Miles, of South Carolina, chairman of the corn-
Suttee under whose ammicee the change was made, took
p'rarepti'grounds against the innovation. Yon could not
have dreamed that out of this reasonable move such an
unressopable storm could have been produced. Gentle
men, exonerated the door -keeper from the introdua
tion of the desks, and vaunted their own responsibility
in" the matter. Resolution after resolution was intro
duced; points of order raised; decisions made; ap
peals taken; the Chair sustained; fresh points of ardor

At the beginning of the present week, Mr. FraP , l ,

hrough the country as Ela Burns." a child who has
made some stain New York, in cousequence ofthe talent
displayed by her, pattleularly in recitations and bhiks
perean readings. The ease wee before the New York
courts during the past summer, end, as the result there
is let forth in the return, we make no further reference
to it. The petition filed by Mr. Whitten (in the &i

Mrs. Elizabet h. Ellett attaches to this petition her
affidavit that all the facts set forth are true, and that she
makes this on behalf of Mr. Whitton, who is a resident

The writ issued and woe made returnable yesterday
in the Nisi Ynue, before ChiefJusti co Lowrie, but when
the caw was called yesterday morning, the Chief Jus

except In vacation, and he adjourned the case to the

Trta BaNNSTf Throne.% OASE.—At noon ies
tordsy, in the Court of Common Ficte, Judges Allison
And Thompson on the bench, the argument on the
motion of respondent's counsel to vacate the decree of
divoroe, and strike &Thar annwettrom the record, was
resumed. James F. Johnston, Esq., on behalf of Mrs
Bennett, Maimed the attention of the court, while he
proceeded to argue at some length in support of the mo
tion to grant the rule. His principal point was that the
rules of court required the notice to call up the rule to
be in writing.
•
Edward A. Lesley. Esq., on behalf of the libellsni, in
answer to Mr. Johnston. end: The rule came up for:ar
gument on the 20th of September last, when Mr. Mur
phy made a very lengthy speech, in which he reinerated
the unfoundod snit malignant charges. outvoted in the
respondent's petition. These charges thus repeated were
published through the ten thousand °henna of the
Press. in such a manner as to l poison the mind of the
a hole oommunity upon the subject , so that it would
be almost impossible to empaue a Jury in which [tiara
would not bo found several, perhaps a maid - city, per
haps all of its member., poisoned in their minds, and
prejudiced, against Jalapa hi. Bennett. The learned
gentleman, seeing. as everyone SAW who heard the depo
sitions, that the sweeping charges of the petition wore
entirely unsupported by proof, filed the respondent's
supplemental petition. of which the chief allegation was
that the respondent 'rad no notice of the milling up of
the rule, on the nld of April That petition was filed as
a desperate shift in a desperate cause. Libellant's
counsel were sure lined, because live entire months had
elapsed sines the granting of the decree, and before the
they were surprised because it indicated en
abandonment of the question or !slants ; it was the
single step which separates the sublime from ill oppo
site, and to which the respondent descended from the
towering height Whereon she stood, fulminating the,
gravest and most sweeping charges eigainst.the libellant,
to hang all tine hopes of her cause on a single technical
hook.
Mr. Lesley proceeded to argue upon some of the gen
eral Mats of the mane, when he was interrupted by Atr.
Johnston, who objected to his entering into the merits,
and Intimated that it was the intention of the court to
confine counsel to the question of technical irregularity.
Mr. Lesley then desired to )010 . 1/ what the will of the
court was in the Ken Uses. and said that if there was
any doubt on the mod of the court as to the manta, he
claimed the right to discuss them ; hut that if not al
lowed to discuss them, lie then,' humed the right to as
sume that the court was Satisfied that the merits of the
cause were with the libellant nod against the respond
ent, and he would accept that ne a brief but satisfactory
1.• rp icemen of Mr. Bennett against all that had been
published and charged against loin.
Resuming the argunient on the rule. Mr. Lesley said
that it was twofold in Us objects : first, to vacate the
decree ; and second. to strike the respondent's answer
from the record. Ile would consider the onuses for
which n decree of divorce might be vaunted ; but first,
the grounds upon which a rove runl could net ha risked

duction of any eases whore a decree Ind been net etude
on the score of such objections al were here motel.
Mr. L. then eddretaed the court as to the fact of the
notice of the calling up of the rule. That rule was re
turnable on the 26th of March. It was not tben grant
ed nor discharged, but continued for the purpose of tak
ing ridditionel testimony. Mr. Hall sine that he re
ceived no notice; he is, at Inert, but a negative witness.
It is prevent by two positive witnesses, Meagre. Simpson
and Bela, that Air. Hall did receive that n• into. Mr.
Hall had admitted inn his testimony that ho did not In
tend to oppose the rule, and his intentions and his see
tie-meta must be taken to be tine canoe ea those of his
client. There was also preponderating evidence in tine
depositions, showing that she rind every requisite notice,
front the service of the sultruena to the granting of the
rule • that she had matructed her attorney not to oppose
the divorce ; that Ate was kept constantly informed as
to the proentedinge in the notion ; that her express wish
was only that those proceedings should be conducted as
privately as possible : that attn. front ranting which
decree, she haißchanged that deeire lnceivea
lie would presently shine.
The implement,' petitson is drawn with lawyer-like
precision. Yon can see in it the mind of the lawyer

a syllable ia Rand or sworn to that she hind intended to
rennet the rule, and that she was surprised and prevented
from 80 doing ; nor had arty tweet been given that such
was her intention, and that tine Wall OD surprised. The
question here was, hunt justice been done in granting
the decreer Mr. L. read authorities to show that the
emit would not grant a new trial, an application for
which was analogous to this, for a mere technical °Wee
tion in point of law; not even for the misdirection of a
judge to a jury.
lie then proceeded, In effective terms, to comment
upon the transparent motives :if the respondent in her
attempt to have One Metro, vacated. Mrs. Bennett had
don'ared to Mr. Roberts that she arms not receiving me
tier enough from Mr. Bennett, and that she woe going
to coin+ out like the sun, and drag Mr Bennett
flown to the dirt where he belonged." She also told Mr.
Dela that unless she tint acorteut stun handrail upon Mr.
Bennett's real estate tiny her life, nine would, with the
asstelance of her friends, rip the who'e thing up." It
arm for the court to Bay whether they would approve so
sordid a Motive. or annation Minh en enterer., Mr. L.
insisted th tt the great question for the eourt was, Has
he libellant eullered a real injury, and does he banalide
seek relief ?
Next, as to the second branch of the rule. It was ad
mitted that the answer was signed by Mrs. Bennett ; it
wins not denied that Alderman Freonian'a hand end
seal were to thejuraf ; nut was ttremarkable that the
iilderman could not remember the fact of her wearing,
to It , as the bulk of his business wee the taking of
noknowledgmente and administorme affidavits. It was
testified, on orosa-exaininfttlon by her mmelinian, that
about the tune the 'mower one Worn to, he had eat
tier down from the carriage at Sixth arid Arch streets.
in the vicinity of the elderinan's ellice. Counsel Inc li
b tllant could not be °spieled to give any other evidence,
than what appeared on the face of the mower, Cocci
daring that It wan her Answer end not Me. It was nut
tier only confession ; she lied repeatedly COnteaseil to
duferent persons and under different el rounntance.;
it was non her only :mime confession. She had written
a letter, nonfessing the charges, to Mrs. Brown. Why,
then, strike the mutterer from the record?
Mr. Lesley contended that the Single circumstance of
signing that paper was of itsell eufficient reason for re
fining to vacate the decree. Had she been innocent *ilia
Could not have tinned it. No %animae woman would
sign such an admission. Mr. Murphy bed endeavored
to find, in the play of Othello, a parallel to this case,
lint lie should have remembered that the heroine, in the
last try ing hoer, and in the presenee of her armed and an
gry lord,denied hta cruel accusatione, and in her mortal
agony she breathed the words " die a guatleq
death." And Imogen, the namesake of the respondent a
little child, when sent away with the trlnve, who was or
dered by herjealous hunband to kill her, stood tteawed
in theprosenee of her executioner, assorted her purity,
and told him to" hit the filliorent manatee of her love—
her heart." And Jane McCarthy, reapentlent'aown
witness, te quote front a mat humbler source, when
she had told her that she had conlessed because Mr.
Bennett threatened to take her life, replied r " I would
have let him take my life." The motto of a virtuous
woman is &twat s" death behre dishonor," and no vir
tuous woman could be induced by promises. any more
than compelled by threats, to role or make lomat a con
fession. What virtuous WHlan breathes who would not
spurn with ineffeble disgust the filthy gold that was of
fered In barter fur her fair fame T and if not on her own
account, would she not teethe and spurn it fur the sake
of her own tied only child 1'
Mr. Lesley here entered into a review of the conse
quencen that would result from the vacating of this de
cree. Pe it one denuded and genoralty known that
fraud was the only cause for reversing ouch a decree,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Money Market
PHILADELPHIA. Feb.l7, 18EU.
Reading Railroad shares regained the lose of yerter
day at the Stook Board this morning. The 'hamlet the
Pennsylvania Central fell off dg. while city loans again
advanced:; ; otherwise the market was generally un
oh en red.
The Buffalo Commercial said in a late issue that" the
Cleveland, flinotnnati, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, M-
I Pets are advoeating the pro rata bill for the New York
railroads." The Cincinnati papers have, for them
selves disclaimed arty opinions guch as the Buffalo Com
metros( thus attempts to listen upon th'em; and we
deem It no more than an act of justice to repel the
charge on behalf of the ;ammo of Philadelphia We
here not, speaking for ourselves. expressed any opinion
I on the subleet. As Journalists, desiring to keep our
I readers up with the times, we have from time to time
mentioned the progress that the bill was making in the
Legislature of New York, and we have quoted the evi
dence of some of the witnesses brought before the
Legislative Committee by the opponents of the bill; but
we have carefully abstained from the expreasion of any
opinions upon the merits of the question, end, so far as
our observation goes. this has been the ease with all the
other Philadelphia papers.
That the New York newspapers opposed to this mea
sure should thus misrepresent the newspapers of cities
supposed to have interests in railroads rivalling those
of New York, is hut natural ; and we should not perhaps
advert to such a charge coming from Buffalo. But the
Cincinnati Gozeite, commenting on the staternent,and
denying It as fares Cincinnati is concerned. assumes it
to be true of the Philadelphia and Baltimore papers, and
sale that "It is clearly the intent of these two cities to
have the New York roads tolled. and required to charge
the same on local as on way freight, 113 well as to pub
lish their freight tariffs once a month."
Walleye again to say here, what wo have often said be
fore, that we believe the advantages of the Yellow Name
Central Railroad to be such that she will always com
mend a fair proportion of the carrying trade between
the East and the West, and that to this end it is not at
all necessary that her rivals should be hampered by op
preesive or restrictive legislation. The charge of the
flu tale and Cincinnati papers is equally unfounded and
unjuet. We have looked upon the controversy between
the New York railroads and their adversaries, as a
local matter, with which we had no right to interfere,
and yet as a movement which would, in all probability,
be immediately followed UP by a similar effort to com
pel pro rating of freight in the Legislature of our
own State. •
The seine grounds of complaint which have resulted
in those attempts at legislation in New York, exist to
Pennsilvania and Maryland, and many parties in both
States are anxiously hoping that such a prececent wil
or set in New York and followed tip amnia the Southern
roads. In view of such a contingency, we have kept
ourselves uncommitted to either side, noting the argu
ment. of both, and endeavoring to see how far they
would apply to the Pennsylvania Central It. R. But we
have not directly or indirectly advocated the passage of
the proposed law. Wo are in favor of the removal of
all impediments to free commercial intercourse among
our citizens, and we are sorry that the advocate. of
such freedom should find it in their hearts to attempt
the furtherance of their views by unfair RPPOZLI9 to pre-

CITY ITEMS.
En EPAR IY6 FOR SPRING.—Th e celebrated confec
tionery house of Mears. E. G. Whitman k Co-, Second
street, below Chestnut, have reduced their business to
so perfect a system that the changes of the season are
ex sure to produce their appropriate and tempting novel
ties on the capacious counters of thou gentlemen, u
in our most popular emporiums of fashion. litany of
their niioice%t spring preparations are already d splayed
and selling briskly, and after taking a glance at their
numerous richly-laden trays, amid crowds of discrimi
nating customer.. we are proud to defy any other single
house in this country to compete with this, in the excel
lence of their stock. Give them a call, un our recom
mendation.
A Live ESTABLISHStItar.—There are few busi
ness establishments in this country, or any other, that
have more effectually solved the problem of being busy
nil the year round, than the popular G. P. E. o.—i. e.,
the great Cravat Emporium of Mr. J.A. Eshleman, No
615 Chestnut street. There are two good reasons for
this : In the first plane, to the entire collar and cravat
wearing fraternity, gentlemen of fashion in particalar,
handsome articles for the neck are leis confined to the
law of seasons than almost any other feature of gents'
apparel; and, in the second plane, the superb array of
elegant new artio es in this line which Mr. Eshleman is
receiving by every amen]. pi-sleuth a temptation too
great for men of taste to resist at any time. Ms im
mense stock of these geode, and gents furnishing in
general, is really a curiosity.
Now is TEE TIME TO BOY A SEWING MACHINE.—
We need not say that this, of all others, is the season
for the household rimsumption of linens and muslin..
The huge pyramids of these wearing and washing em
blems of purity, which row appropriately grace our
shop-windows, are suggestive of this fact, and also or
another—rlz t that in hundreds of families the ran of
agood Sewing Machine might be saved in a single 'ea
sews use. We have been led to these refieetiono by the
fact that Mr. S. D. Beier, agent for the sale of the most
complete Family Machine in use—the "HARRIS But.-
Dole "—has, thus far this sermon. almost trebled his
sales upon any former rear. His office is at N 0.720
Arch street.
Tun TOILET COMPANION to the name by which
Messrs. Joseph Dorn•tt k Co., at Boston, designate the
nest and convenient case in wh oh these famous the
inlets and perfumers put up their superior preparations
for toilet use, "KSHISI0119" "COCOSIMP," "Oriental
Tooth Wash," and " Florimel." The /Dalton aen
article the Indies already regard es an indispensable
preparation for prOmoting the healthy condition of the
skin, and beautifying the complexion. The Cocoaine
containing a large proportion of Cocoa Nut Oil. imparts
to the hair a glossy appearance, invigorates it and gives
it a healthy growth. The Oriental Tooth Wash arrest.
decay of the teeth, cures canker, hardens the gums, and
imparts fragrance to the brearli. Flonmel is a delicate
and enduring perfume of exquisite odor. and ro mare as
not to &swan the lightest fabric. Barnett's Toilet
Companion will be much in demand all it becomes gene
rally known.

tract of the published proceedings attending the open
ing of the British Parliament. cannot fail to be reed
a ith interest, owin to the shabby manner to which Mr.
Dallas is referred to ; the account goes on to say : " A

distinguished Orientals.' who have got to be considered
as among the properties' on these State occasions

and glittering Wan, rich with barbaric gold and
gem.' By and by other celebrities crowd upon the
scene—the new Lord Chancellor Campbell. in robes of
State. Lord Llanover'e robes as baron contrast brightly
anions those of older pee rases, and after him comes the
Duke of New Castle, the American Minister, and the
Duke of Cambridge, who stays as usual near the stops
of the throne." It will be observed here, hi the Ameri
can people, that for their representative there is no po
sition assigned him, or mention made of his dress, even
though it might have been furnished entire by Mr
Charles Stokes, of the "Keystone Palace" Clothing
Store, located under the Continental lintel in this city.
Such a slight demands explanation.
DEPOltnigNT.—it was the remark of a great
philosopher that Mariva was grave and " gentlemanly"
amid those oft referred-to ruins of Carthage, as when
receiving Aare of truce from conquered nations. When
Scylla resigned his imperial power, in haughty Contempt
—el red with the slaughter of his foes"—we have not
the slightest doubt but that ho strode in grim mains',
from the palace of the Eternal City, vainly imagism,
that he looked as well-in hie queer old tunic, as though
he had been clad in a fall modern suit from the Brown
Stone Clothing Ball of Rockhill ec. Wilson. Nos 603 and
