A deice discussion is in progress as to the
,introduction- of passenger mars into English
cities mud towns. The proposal has been
made to construct several lines in Liverpool,,
the'objectiOn has been started that, though
'paasinger railway cars, drawn by horses,
might do' mantle the town, they Could not
'Orivei faster than two miles an hour in the
streets, in. consequence of obstructions con
stantly occurring.
' GEORGE FEANCI9 TRAM, commonly called
fi Young America," happens to be in Liver
pool, and writes; in the newspapers, hi de-'
I:encti of the cars, He is complimentary' to'
.Philadelphia. Street railways, he says,
have scarcely learned their alphabet in Now
York, and to see the system in complete •ope
ration,
,a person must go to Philadelphia."
',Street railways, he adds, leave the heart of
-a, city, free from coagulation, by taking
away the surplus vehicles; and, to .prove
it, I ask the writer, who seems to have been
iti America, if in Chestnut street and Walnut
-street—both in , the heart of Philadelphia the
railways there don't take you over the ground
at five miles an hour, instead of two, as ho
nays is the case i So much adapted are they
to such streets as.he mentions, a charter Is
being obtained this season to put down a
street railinty the whole length of Broadway,
Now . York; and a bill has already passed for
Wasi,ington 'street, Boston—a

'of Quebec is introducing them, what stands
in the way in Liverpool of having a cord
fortable passenger car to ride in, instead of,'
as at present, packed iu the sardine-box of
en ontnilms 7"
The city-railway system will probably be
introduced in Liverpool and Manchester. Its
=advocates argue that the cars running upon

"that it Is absolutely necessary, in a sanitary'

Foreign Immigration
•The Secretary of State, General Cass, re
cently transmitted to the United States.Se
' nate, in compliance with tle act of Congress
passed a few years ago, a statement giving a
number of interesting statistics in regard
to the number of passengers arriving in the
United States from foreign countries during
the year 1859. The total number of passen
gers was 165,802 ; a smaller number than du
ring any previous year since 1848, except the
immediately preceding year .of 1858, when
the number of passengers was 144,862. .The
total number of passengers from September
83th, 1843, to December 81, 1859, was 4,208,-
972—a population large enough to form a
powerful State in itself, and which, while it
may have entailed some serious evils :upon
pertain mans of our country by increasing
pauperism and crime, has made vast contri
butions to' the wealth and material greatness
of our nation.
Under the operation of our laws for the re
gulation of immigrant vessels, the health and
comfort of. the passengers appear to,have
been as well secured as could have beei ex
pected, for out of the 155,509 who emiiirked
at foreign ports for the United States during
the, year 1859, all arrived upon our shores but
207, who died upon the voyage—making but
about one death to 750 passengers. The
great majority of the immigrants-10,270—er
rived at New York ; 12,379 at Boston ; 11,822
at ,New Orleans; '4,254 at San Francisco;
8,786 at Philadelphia; 3,762 at Baltimore, and
the remainder at other and less important
ports. Of these passengers, 34,227 were born
In this' country, and simply'returned during
the year, from voyages to other lands, leaving
.the actual number 'of aliens at only 121,282.
Germany furnished the largest number of the
emigrants, 89,815; Ireland the next largest
number, 85,2161 , England, 13,826 ; Mina,
8,457. All of the immigrants, except a few
thousand, intended to reside in our country.
Their principal occupations were as follows:
Iferchante, 12,495; mechanics, 13,092; miners,
9,510; farmers, 16,823'; laborers, 21,696;
srr
vents, 1,281.
The number of Americans returning iI yes.
eels from' foreign countries, in 180, exceeded
by more than ten thousand the number during
either of the three preceding years. .

WOHINGTON, OORRUPONDENCE.
Letter fromn i ,,,‘ Occasional:l
Oorrenondenoe of Tkie Promo]
WARRINGTON, Maroh 15, 1860.
The agitation in favor of obenging the place for
holding the National Demooratio Convention is
extending Itself to all parts of the country. The
certainty that all persons going to Charleston will
be compelled $ be oontented with the most impel ,
feet accommodations, and for these to pay the most
exorbitant prices, not to refer to the possibility, at
least, that sickness may break out among the vast
messes that will be congregated there, has induced
a general popular call upon the National Demo
°ratio Committee to take into consideration the
propriety of selecting either Richmond, St. Louis,
or lialtimOre, as the proper spot upon which
to decide ' the destinies of the Democracy
for four years from the 4th of March, 1861.
Should this change of pleas be agreed upon, it
might•be found expedient, also, to select another
day. If the Convention met at Richmond or Bel•
thnore, a month later than the 23d proximo would
he probably advisable. Pablth business would be
assisted by this, also; Inasmuch as both the Demo
emetic and .Republioan Conventions might bo held
at or near the same time, and then a single ad
journment of Congress, world be snilloient, instead
of a double adjournment, as now contemplated.
Of course, this movement will •be resisted by
those who bad their own purposes to ac
complish in fixing Charleston as the place
for holding • the National Democratic Convention,
arid the local pride of South Carolina may itself
oome into protest against that which is being so
generally, prepared for by the people of that sec
tion.
The beet place to bold all these National Con
ventions •is , unquestionably Philadelphia or New
York. The thousands attracted to these quadren
nial meetings ought not to be thrown into small
towns, outlasted to all manner of inconveniences,
and compelled to pay every kind of exorbitant
price to support a single looality. You might put
into the city of Philadelphia fifty thousand men,
and they could not only be comfortably, but even
elegantly provided for, at the cheapest rates,
and the some may be said of the great Em
pire ,City of New York. When, In 1858,
the Republican or Opposition Cohvention sat
in your city, the hotel-keepers did not advance
their rates; and although they were crowded,
and the • streets' thronged, no complaint was
heard, either of want of acoommodation or of
exorbitant charger. The same may be said of
the Convention which nominated General Tay
lor in Philadelphia. There would be a peculiar
propriety in fixing upon the " City of Brotherly
Love" as the spot for the Denioeratie Convention
of 1860. It Is as conservative as my other of the
great capitals. The Declaration of Independence
was proclaimed from your midst. The Constitu
tion was fonlied there; and , the whole area, for
miles around, is redolent with Revolutionary
memories. It would not only be an auspicious
place for , the Convention Itself, hut. if its labors
could be crowned by such a nomination as that of
Douglas, planed upon his own popular sovereignty
platform,aurrounded as it is with the memories of
the early struggle of the colonies against the in
terventionists of Great Britain, the members
Might afterwards adjourn to Independence Hall,
and there, on ground consecrated by those memo
ries, ratify that which, thus made, would unques
tionably be ratified at the polls.
The course taken by Virginia in refusing to ac
cept the proposition of South Carolina to prepare
Dr a Southern Confederacy in certain stipulated
contingencies, is more than signlfleant. It proves
that the people of the "Old Dominion," justly in•
dignant, as they have every right to be, because
of the invasion of John Brown, will never consent,
until every remedy has failed, to unite with any
movement looking to the dismemberment of these
States. Virginia, however assailed for her eh-
straetions, boasts of a loyal and conservative popu
lation. Her people aro Union•loving people; but
the Ohio river counties have never sympathised
with the violent counsels of the political leaders
who come from that portion of the State in which
the slave-power predominates. I have seen gentle
men within the last few days from Mississippi, Ala.
bama.Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas, and they all
declare that the attempt to establish non•intercourer
between the Southern and Northern States will fail
In the discomfiture of those • pressing it forward
Thousands of Southern families are connected
with the Northern people by ties of personal friend
ship and by relations of blood and marriage.
They look to the North, to Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston, and to our splendid watering.
places as in part their own, and they are not will
ing to gratify en occasional politician who may
have a personal purpose to subserve, who may
desire to elect himself to Congress or to the
Senate, or even to the Presidency, to deprive
themselves of comforts and of pleasures, and
to abstain from all communication with those
whom they know to be devotedly attached to
the institutions of the Governnient, and always
ready to defend the South against their enemies,
no matter whether those enemies are internal or
external. In evidence of this fact, I need only
refer you to the numbers of Southern arrivals at
the Continental, the Girard, the Merchants' the
La Pierre, Jones', tho American, the Washington,
the St. Louis, and- the other leading hotels of
your city. Naturally, the movement in favor of
non•intercourse in the South would keep a num
ber of Southirn people at homo ; but this .was the
result of the first indignant feeling, and I am glad
to greet the better temper by which it has been
followed.
, It appears that a large sum of money was sent
from this city to New Hampshire for the purpose o f
furthering the success of the Demoeratio ticket,
and the Republicans wore not behind in their ex
ertions and in their contributions. A number of
the clerks in the Departments went home to vote.
The result shows a Democratic: defeat, and now
some apprehensions are entertained lest Connect'-
out may follow the same example on the 34 of
4WD. Both parties are sending their champions
into that State, and a desperate struggle will no
doubt ensue. Hon. Frederick P. Stanton, now of
Kansas, has announced his determination to take
ground for the Republican candidates in Connnecti
out. This Is his first open declaration In that way,
and the subject is deeply regretted by some of his
most intimate friends. He will be recollected as
the gentleman who made the first speech at the
revolutionary Democratic meeting held at National
Hall, in your city, in January of 1858. Ile seems
to have given up all hope that Charleston will do
right, and therefore identifies himself with the
general Opposition. I confess to a different feel.
tog, and will hope until hope is in vain, that the
wishes of the messes of the Democracy of the
Union will be responded to by that body; and this,
it seems to me, Is the sentiment that onght to con
trol all men who have deemed it their duty to re
sist the monstrous proscriptions and aggressions of
the present Administration, and Southern extre
mists, of and upon the.men whose only offence bee
been an earnest and unselfish devotion to the cove
nants and principles of the Democratic party
We had yesterday one of the ablest of the South
ern orator/ on the floor to the House of Represent
atives, Mr. Curry, of Alabama, dad t had the
pleasure of listening to his Speech. There is some
thing in the style of the men who come from the
warm side of Mason and Dixon's line, when they
address Congress_ r their constituents, that is ex
tremely prepossessing. Here was a young man,
probably not much over thirty, who, for More
than an hour, discussed grave propositions with
the graoe and skill of a veteran. His manner was
exceedingly striking. He faltered fok ho word,
and there was a logical atiothess in his whole
theory which prolred not only the profound thinker,
but the Welt-trained and thorough-bred debater.
Much that he said was of course ultra on his line,
mush offensive to a Northern mind. Hie attacks
upon Judge Douglas were bitter Ind ttnjust, his
defence of Judge Black ingenious and plausible,
but illogical; but When he name to apologise for
the coarse of the South in reference to Leoompton,
and to explain the reasons that governed them in
their notion upon the Sngl ish WI, he made, without
seeming to make, an unconscious confession that be
and his Mends bad been in the wrong throughout,
and paid an unooneelone tribute to thole who bad
resisted that wrong. The tenacity with whioh
Southern men adhere to their own institutions has
always commanded my adinitation. They make
everything tributary to that. We have coon them
voting for Native Americans, or rather for Know-
Nothings, for Speaker, on the distinct ground that
these Native Americans and Know•Nothinge wore
favorable to slavery ; and they would clasp hands
to-morrow with the ReptibliCarts and forgive them
all their so-milled latitudinarian notions in regard
to the Wilt internal improvements, public) lands,
etc., if only the Republicans would agree to recog
nise the Southern platform upon the slavery
question.
I have frequently appealed to Pennsylvania to
irritate the example of the South in regard to her
own interests. If our people, aided by those of
New Jersey and Maryland, and New York and
Missouri, would come to Washington in one body,
through their Representatives, and demand of Con
greas am& a reoognition of their great industrial
interacts as has been accorded. by nearly every
leading Democrat einem the beginning of the Go
vernment, we should have no more doubt on the
tariff question. It would be settled at once and
Fettled forever. The cry, that when them) Indus.
tries are protected by a judicious adjustment of the
revenue system of the Government other sections of
the Union would be taxed, would Fess away and
be forgotten. The prosperity of the iron and coal
Interests, of the eager grower, and the cotton manu
facturer, would diffuse a healthy glow throughout
the whole body politic, making the South itself feel
the Mimeo of the comfort at the centre, and
strengthening We Union to Its remotest extremities.
It is folly to expect that either of the great par
ties will make .the tariff an Immo In the
noining oempaign. The Republicans present seve
ral candidates who are known to be adverse to
high protection, and those who are favorable are
said to be without strength, excepting in the Staten
referred to. The only practical way of providing
for our great interests, is for Pennsylvania and
the other middle States to make the demand now
before the itljontnitent of the present stolen of
bciutitesi;•nego when the south le 'looking tor
vu t i eue std., awl the eitme NOVA
on the other. Delay will not only be dangerous,
but deadly. Other buttes will supersede that of
the tariff; and if they do not:, and a Republican
victory should follow, there is the Senate standing
In the way, governed by free-trade oouneele. A
Senate, which, properly approached now, when
the different Presidential aspirants might be un
willing to take issue with those who ask nothing
' but a moderato and practical tariff bill, will, I
think, be more than ready to accede to each a re
quest.
It would seem that the star of the Honorable
Wm. M. Elwin, of California, is rapidly paling be
fore the rising glory of young Latham, the new
Senator from the Golden State, who, by last ao•
counts, has triumphed in the primary elections for
delegates to their State Convention, which is to
choose other delegate' to represent them at Charles
ton. Dr. CI win has had °barge of the patronage
of the present Administrationoind of its redeem
sor, and has wielded this patronage with the skill
of a thorough politician. Originally obtaining it
under Mr. Buchanan through the "magnanimity"
of Mr. Broderick, he has controlled it to the ad
vantage of his friends. and to the exclusion of
those who acted with Mr. Broderick. Now, how
ever, another actor appears upon tho stage. Mr.
Latham, who has only lately taken his seat as the
suocessor of the lamented Broderick, is about to
assume the sceptre of command. He is another
of the interesting men to bo found in this
hive of great events and novel characters.
The first meeting 'with Latham impresses you
favorably. Although not yet over thirty-five, he
has eat in the Congress of the United States, been
elected Governor of California, has occupied the
highest Federal positions in that State, and now he
comes to the Senate, the peer of the oldest and
ablest of our statesmen. He is a native of Ohie.
and though very young, is ono of the most saga
cious and self-poised of men. Of studious and fru
' gal habits, he Is eminently genial and kind-heart
ed, and when he rises to speak, displays not only
great powers as a debater, but profound and com
prehensive thought. It is stated here by those
who know Mr. Latham intimately, that he con
tinues to regard Judge Douglas with the same fa
vor that he manifested in former years, when the
two were known to be on terms of the most int
mate friendship. Occustowei.

North Third street, yesterday we were psalm:early
impressed with the tuts we have here stated. This
house. by the way, is one of the largest and best-known
in Phtladeiphia, and for enterprire, thorough eas of
system, and general me ream ile efficiency, has yr...bat:ay
bat few successful rivals in this country.
Enterinz their immerse warehouse —which has a
depth of two hundred feet, with a front of minty two
feet—we were presented with such a business. peetaclie
as ought to put croakers about dull business to the blush.
There were spread out before as apparently geode
enough to supply the wants of half an empire. and the
salesmen, each with his buyer, were apparently as de
termined to supply the demand. This house has two
cellars, five stories front, and four back, each apart•
meat being devoted to a specific branch of their haul
nem The nam floor, for example, is occupied as an
extensive show and salesroom, f r various grades of
dress goads chiefly. which are all exhibited In their
original case.. Two large and commodirns
houses are also en this floor: Aaeanding to the story
above, in tha rea• of the house, we enter the roam dra
voted exclionve'y to the sale of cloths, cassimeres, and
general men's wear; whilst the third floor in this 'eg g
tom is occupied as the Vivre Goods departmeet. and
the feavA for Vie sale of Varieties and goods FOP"'
lady denominated under the head nt Notions.
Between the front and back seetions of the house are
introduced capacious skylights, adjusted in such a mea
ner as to secure an excellent light in every part of the
house, even to the cellars. The third floor/rest, is a:el
for the sale of goods by the so ckage only, the foartbsend
fifth being occupied for the storage of duplicates is
their original bales and boxes.
Pescerding into the tuts cellar. we found ourselvi *
surrounded with an array of domestic goods almost
reaching from floor to ceiling, and descending still lower
we entered the sub-cellar, which is also used for storing
purposes, and is crowded with unopened tales. Hers,
also, are the receiving and shinning departments, the
system for weigh, as conducted b. Messrs. 8., 8.. & C - a
would itself be worthy of an article An admirable fea

In. which boxes for ahipm•nt are hoisted for delivery, or
those packages received lowered with great rani tity. By
this means a much larger amount of go ds can bs han
dled taan where they have to be disposed of in the ordi

The great improvement which they have effected in
this branch cannot tie oo highly commended. By the
introduction of `•dumb waiters." in addition to the
regular hatchway. a vast amount of time and manual
labor to saved, and by which they are also enabled to
place their bills in order for shipment much more extre
ditinusly than houses not supplied with these fa& hties.
We may state. in conclusion, that in the erection of
this business edifice, every convenience for clerks has
been memorial y provided for. The various arartments,
as already stated, are well lighted and airy. The main
ce'lar has a tea-feet ceiling. the sob-cellar eight, the
main room abuse sixteen feat, and all the ethers is pro
portion. Their stock of goods at the present Um. is A
model of comp t eteness, and we are glad to find that
their trade, instead of falling behind other years, has
already experienced a decided increase in the operations
of the present sector. &though they concur in the gene
rally-expressed opinion that the trade of the letter part
of the season will, this rpring, be relatively heavier.
LECTURE ON TEE HOLY LASD.—A lecture ass
delivered last evening—the first of a course—in the
First Independent Church. Broad and Su EOM street. LT
the Rev. ?dr. Marks, of Pittsburg, on Northern Pales
tine. For some reason the audience was not as large
as the merits of the lectors deserved. Mr. M.rks oc
cupied an hoer end x half in narmting, vifLout rotes.
the scenes end incidents experienced in his recent
travels through the enuntnea of valet' he stole and
Ives listened to throughout tills the deepest 11 West.
We have, cot space for an exreniled r, nec of r his ini
bal lecture, but may state thet it AL:girded in interest
ing information, especially to students of Foristure hut
tory.
'r he seen err of those countries was said to he as beau
tiful. es their history was rch in named associations , .
No scene could be yore enchanting than a view et the
Mediterranean, from the Psmphyliaa mountains.
Lebanon was described as one of the coodbest moun
tains on the face of the earth. As the traveller tool ed
upon its villages and tropical fruits he was reminded of
a bird cage hung upon the side of a rock. Speak MR of
the Valley of Sharon. the speaker Raid that berg and
there was seen a caravan or a village uron ri, tut not a
solitary home was vinille in the whole plain. 7be cause
of this was. that it wan so infested with Arabian robler s
that to live there in solitude was to be constantly ex
posed to perils at the bands of the wild nen of the
desert. the sons of !gimlet, to cb•tarter, to thitosy.
His description of the flights of companies of Arabs
across those plains us exceedingly gratin and pinto
•esque. He had one tame witnessed one of these, when
the leader of a COMP2TY, dashing at the inmost speed,
was suddenly thrown from hie horse with great TiOltre.
by the latter having accidentally struck a donkey in his
debt. As soon as the Arab had been &We to rem v. r his
feet he returned to ascertain who vast the owner of the
donkey. but no one was will ng to &Plume its owner
ship. whereupon. the lecturer said. the inforta•ed, un
horsed Arab dismissed the donkey with DO other chair
ligament than. perhaps, cursing the religion of this
animal's grandfather! The lecturer did not stop
; to define the particular religion of this quadruped Ori
ental ; but he lidded that cursing the ancestry of their
enemies was a peculiar Ai tibia& practice. No greeter
insult mold be offered to them than to cast remands
upon a father or mother, or any other ancestor. Tble
fact. be thought• threw some light upon Sant's last
goats to Jonathan. " Thou art the eon of a pervemia
and accursed woman." This. said he. had evidently
not b•en intended to disparage the mother co much in
to Inch the son.
He had visited the plate by the sea-mule designated an
the spot where Peter baba d the vision of the 'beet.
He had mood at the door of the tannery which, 1 did
not question. was the one spoken of in the •acred Text
in this connection The saturations of the Hort con.
atituted an interesting part of the lecturer's semi
dmmatio illostmtions, as w ere also his descriptions of
the (cacti and guest-chambem of 'list country. Many
(materna of the country were enlarged upon as Moan.-
tire of certain parames of Scripture. The lectorer'•
visit to Samaria was alai interestingly recerred to, both
as to the Mew from the bill on which the city of Ha
mans stood and the several canto-es of the locality as
thay now appear The closing part of his lecture was
tnainly intended to illustrate the more garage phases
of Arabian ellarl,t,v, in w hub several hale-breadth
est apes were relate 1, which certainly bordered as real
ly on the romantic as the mist enthusiastic airentorer
could desire.
