Pro bably no other family has furnished more sailor. and soldiers in time of need. One of the most desperate ea Niactions on record was that in which Commodore Ncholas iiindle perished, fielding to the last, in an une qual roofing between his frigate and a British ship of the line, during the American Revolution. His nephew, of the same name, was womment in political lile ; tD his earlier yearn as a leading Democrat in the State Senate, and a supporter of Simon finvder's Adminustra thm. during the last war with Great Britain. The reply of Pennsylvania. in 1815. to the proixne none emanating from the Hai tford Convention, a elate paper that At tracted much attention at that day, was from the pen of Nicholas Biddle These fame we find in C.

The details of the contesters froth in the recolleation of all men of middle age. In after I ears, Biddle. on his retirement to private life, seems to have renewed the political attachments which lied been severed during the hark controversy. Ex-President Tyler, in an aciment published in 1847, of the in and dementia opposition which he encounter ed n efrenting the annexation of Texas, mentions among " distmmlistied citizens by whose opinions he was sus tained and encouraged." the late Nicholas Biddle, " with whom I differed so widely on the subject of the Bang of the United states.

Biddle raised a company here in Pliladelphia, and tendered it to the Government. which was then raising ten new reel milts to serve " during the war." He was appointed captain in the wait in February. 1887, and with Cap tame Butler and Bernard, left here shout that time We shall not attempt any account of the campaign of Scott and his little army. Captain Ihddle's share in it we loan. ey tracing the participation of his regiment in the battlers of Contreras. Churubusco, Moline del Rey, Chepultepee, and the taking of the city of Mexico. The daily duty and service on occasions not important enough to find plane in official puhhentions, though the hardest part of the soldier', lot. le that of which, when it is over no trace remains but in the recollections of three who shared it. Some mention, however, of Cap tain Biddle's personal conduct we find in the volume of official reports published by Congress. , General Seott'a report of the worming of Chemilte peo names Captain Biddle as " one of She first en the aseccat ;" and Gin merit of thin gallantry Wall height ened when the fact was known. that before the final operation* against the cite of Mexico , climate and ex posure had en told upon his health. that his keeping in the field nod become a remarkable exhibition of the power of resolute will to counteract the effector Innen' asical exhaustin. General Ctulwalader'n report of the battle of Molina del Hey, fought on the Bth of Se p tember. 1847. mentions that "Crptain Riddle, of the V oltegeur Regiment, WI his bed when ikeAring bean, and joined his componvi" and Cal, Andrews. the Colonel of the Voltigeure, giving an account of the storming of Chepultemeowhtea took Place five days later, on the 13th. and in which the Vol bemire led the attack. says: "Captain Biddle was, I heliene. the second tuheer eaten entered the tenis, nail acted with hie accustomed bravery. Ile joined ire is sloe morning, from a sick 6,1 against my wick and Or ders." Aa emphatic encomium on hisconduct appeared also in the report of General pillow, in whims column Biddle made the march from. Vera Cruz and took tart in the oseratfone incident to it and in the deo i eive ket tles of Contreras and Chenitmsco. General Pillow 'peaks of him as "Captain Diddle, always prompt, vigi lant. and daring." After Chepultepec, In the attack upon the city. Cap tain Biddle's company seems to have been selected from the regiment to occupy the position farthest in advance, and to drivotthe enemy out of it. Cadwalader's report We , , On Ma arriva l at the intersection of the road from Chepultepeo with the San Cosme road, was ordered by %marital Worth to occupy fort to the ien., upon that road, his division being engaged with the enemy's (Mem in front. a portion of which had tnoved mund and were threatening - that flank. 1 ordered forward the re giment of Voltigneee for that purpose t and. observing an advanced position suitable for a picket.

The eleventh regiment occupied the fort on Melon, and emelt detachment of the banns corps, under Captain Terrett. that had followed in put sit 01 the enemy. occupied the position held by Captain Diddle. who proceeded with his reeiment." It wee for gallantry in the field that the brevet rank of bleier was given to Captain Biddle by President Polk. His regiment woe disbanded in August. 18ia. This re giment. the " Voltigeure," was in Brigadier General Cadwalader'e brigade , which. with Brigndier General brigade, formed Mitjor General Pillow's di vision. This association of Maim Biddle with General Pierce led to very friendly reation' between them, which wore manifested by ffiddle'a advocacy, hero, of General Patron's election. and lir an interest with him after it, which was often used for friends, but not, as far en we know, with any aim at political advancement fur himself. bleier Biddle hag given, we believe. mull of tile time to literary pursuits. One of the productions of his pen attracted a good deal of attention here, and ens hand comely noticed in England. When Lord Mahon, in h i s history, declared that the execution of Major Andre was a.' bloc" upon the memory of Washington. Major Bid dle prepared an elaborate examination of the cam. which was published by the Historical Societe of Penn eylvania le a notice of it. the London Critic mid: We must. in justice, admit that we think that the ea i dance produced be Major Biddle would be sufficient to bring an Englieli jury to the lame War of thinking. * • Lord Mahon owes to the memory of the Cteat Ameri can patriot an apolneY, or else he owes to lite own fame as an historian a refutation of the facts upon which the merieenti rely.'

It is not true that we are desirous of emeloging men more than ten hour. per day; neither is it tree that we have reduced the price for overtime. The rule which the association desires us to change or abrogate is as follows, viz : t• Work necessary to be done before or after reaulgr hours will be rated at time and quarter time. and it to expected every one will do hie pert cheerfully when called upon " This rule lieu been in operation two years and two months, without alteration or modification. It le print ed in large toga. and conspicuously placed in every work room end o in our establishment since January, 1858. This was the first and only Rote we ever had on the subject. Previous to this wn had en published rules, and overwork was done at various rates. as foreman and men agreed upon; but generally,and prineipallTott time and quarter time or 25 per oent /Ovine° on der swages. In making the rale the price was fixed at the hiehest average rates of other city show); work done at the rates fixed is a loss to the proprietor. We therefore virtually abolished, and so worded the rule—i. e.. when orre•sary, and on no other account do we permit it. To show our estimation of overwork, we will state that, during the year of 1809, the averase amount of overwork per man was three hours. and the thlierence to the man. if his wages are 52 per day. is 15 cent, per annum. viz: at ourratee 75 cents, at the associetiOn'a rates 510 cents. It if - evident, from this statement, that it is but a plea to get the control of shops in which their members are employed, and to prevent employment of any who are not members of the association. And as a further proof of this, we quote the td article of the con stitution of the association : *$ The objects of thin Union shall be to unite and as curate together as far its practicable, the efficient workmen of the two trades represented in this Amnia tion, for the purpose of securing concert of action in whatever may be regarded a% conducive to their untied interests, as the attainment of a fair rate of wages, the shortening of end rendering uniform the hours of labor. the fixing of a proper ratio of apprentices to journey men. the protection of the rosulerly-rteerenticed me chanic, end the abolition of obnoxious and oppressive rules in workshops."

Upon the millions of Iristo . puple n kolding th e Catholic faith, that are now scatte red, over the earth, from India in the , to the Cape of, Good Hope in the Bouth; and to the abdied of tie Pulls in the West of our own country, the'irseenteenth day of March dawns with an efithasiasilelntirest paoullar to itself.

A very largenumber of the Catholic! .clergy are, by custom, elevated to the priesthood on this day, and . not an occasion Is left pass without a eulogy of their saint being pronounced in many of their churches, by some,of their most eloquent divines, saluted for that purpose. Thal our readers may understand what St. Pat; rick did to entitle him to this diitinotion, we may state that it was mainly through - the Instrument ; tality of his pious labors that the Christian ran, gion first superseded idolatrous worship in thel island. This was in the fifth century of our era s and is referred to by all the most eminent writers! of ecclesiastical history. It is true, St. Patrick was not the first man who ever preached the Gospel in that country, although he was the first to do so successfully. It is generally believed that Celestine, the Roman pontiff, sent Palladiai info Ireland to propagate the Christian but without attaining much success. After this death of Palladius the same pontiff employed in this mission the man Who was destined to become the apostle of the Irish, and the ;father of tlip Ilibernian Church. It may not be known to many . Protestants, who, whatever may be their religious views, cannot but admire the self•devoted piety of St. Patrick, that tho original name of St. Patrick was St/teat/um, and that he was a native of Scot. land, his name bating been subsequently changed to Patrick, as was Pant's changed from Saul, the historians in neither ease enlightening us with 11:4 reason why the change was made, or even with certainty by whom or by what authority it was done. Patriek arrived among the Irish in the year 43E, and the success of his ministry, no less than, in the language of the great historian, Dr. Moeheial, " the number and importance of his pious IT ploits," stands upon record El undoubted proof of his patience, dexterity, and address. Having attacked, with much more success than his prede cessor, the errors and superstitions of a people then uncivilized, and been the instrument of turning numbers of them from heathendom to Christianity, he founded, in the year 412, the Archblahoprie of Armagh, which, we believe, has ever since rr rnained the metropolitan see of the Irish nation. No wonder, then, that the name of St. Patriek should be held in grateful - remembrance by the thousands of our fellow-citisens who are proud of their identity - with a nation to which his labors were of so much importance. As already intimated, the observance of the day by our Catholic population will be religion; treaties, and military. Mass will be raid in their churches, military parades will be seen, and martial strains will be heard In our streets. From our exchange; ire learn that in Boston the day will be celebrated by a public parade of the various Irish benevolent, tain• peranoe, and other societies. In the evening, the boys of the House of the Guardian Angel will give a concert and exhibition at the Music Nei. in New York, also, there is to be a gran , S , *Wary arid ifivio parade, followed by 0fte47116,1 in the evening; the great event of the day; how- - ever, to be the address of Rerr. Dr. Cahill at the Academy of Music, on the " fidelity et Ireland ; in defence of her liberties and her ancient religici." In this oily, the religious phase of the anniepr eery 'will be observed with a Solemn Pontigcal mass by Right Rev. Bishop Wood, In St. Patrick's Church, Twentieth and Locust streets, at half !last ten o'clock this morning, the panegyric( of the Saint to be delivered by Rey. Father Dunn, of ,St. Teresa's Church, upon whioh occasion Mozart's Twelfth Mass will be sung by St. Patrick's choir, assisted by a full orchestra. At St. Paul's Church, Christian street, the opening of a splendid new organ will mark the occasion. The following cir cular, from the Bishop of Buffalo, doubtless ex presses the sentiments of his brethren with regard to the manner with which the day should be kept "It should bwobserved by the sons and daugh ters of St. Patrick, with joy befitting the children of the Saints. From that ble Bed height of glory, which now, in heaven, °Towns the merits of Lis saintly life, Patrick, with millions of Irish, save] by the faith he taught, he will look down rejoicing upon all who pass the fe st of Ireland's atron Saint in a Christian spirit, and in the spirit of this sacred time of Lent. We strictly forbid dancer: on that holy feytiral, and earnestly entreat that no parties prelong their festivities of Saturday night, so as to eneroarh en the Lord's day. 'W e also earnestly entreat all Irishmen to strive, by ex ample and by advice, to prevent any conduct which may give the enemies of Ireland and of our holy religion, occasion for mocking and reviling the faith of St. Patrick, or the land of St. Patrick. May God grant that not the slightest sign of in toxication, nor the least appearance of disorder, may be seen to grieve those that love Ireland and venerate its holy Apostle May St Patrick's Day be celebrated in Buffalo, so as to draw down upon us all the blessings of God, the epproval of St. Patrick, end the esteem of our fellow.oitizeos." UNION PRAYER MEETING ANNIVERSARY.—It will be remembered that, during the revival movement in the spring of 1858, several daily prayer-meet ings were inaugurated in different churches' and publie halls throughout the city. Many of these wore carried on for a time with much seal, and the expectation, in not a few instances, was enter tained that they would be continued permanently. Gradually, however, one after another was aban doned; until now, with the exception of the union noonday pruyenmeeting, held daily at Sansom• street Church, we aro not aware of more than one being in existence, and that is the one held every morning in the Presbyterian church, Buttonwood street, above Fifth, (Rev. T. J. Shepherd'e,) from 8 to 85 o'clock. The second anniversary of this meeting was held yesterday morning, and, from present indications, its continuance during another year is not impro. bable. The attendance upon them suffers little variation, and those wbe have become accustomed to assemble there for public prayer every morning before entering upon their secular duties, deubtles, find a pleasure in so doing which they would not willingly forego. INTERESTING MISSIONARY MEETINO.—The thir teenth anniversary of the Youth's Missionary So ciety of the Green•etrect Methodist Episcopal Church, Green street above Tenth, (Rev. D. W. Bartine, pastor,) was held on last Sunday after noon, In the presence of an overflowing eongregs, tion. The occasion was ono of more than usual in terest. The address of Rey. Mr. Cookman, formerly pastor of the church, was one of his happiest efforts, and was well calculated to please both young and old. The sending up of the offerings" by the dif ferent bands or classes was beautiful and impress ive, and the fact that the aggregate of their con tributions amounted to (957 is an eloquent com ment upon the efficiency of the system v Hch this congregation has adopted fur reeking their little folks tributary to the great cause of mieionary labor. BAPTIST MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE. — The quer . . ierly Conference of the Baptist ministers of Phila delphia and vicinity, will meet at the Twelfth Baptist Church, (Rev. J. P. Hill's,) on Monday next, at 10 o'clock A. M. OLD AND YOUNG AISTSIODISM.—A controversy Is being raised in England now, in the columns of some of the Methodist papers, on the propnety of lining the hymns at public, worship. Old Metho dism clings to the system of giving out the hymn by lines. Young Methodism prefers to have the whole verse given out at °rue, and there does not seem much probability of the two being likely soon to come to any thing like a definite settle ment of the question. --~-....76c .. _......i30 The Beiv Judge of the Baltimore Brim' nal Court.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT Sowing —A woman named Jane Colwell made a desperate attempt to commit suicide Monday afternoon by jumping overheard from the ferryboat Gem. She went on board as the boat wan leaving the wharf, and walked back to the stern, when she took off her bonnet, and tied a handkerchief around her bead, and then jumped into the river. From some un aceountable canoe she did not sink. but dotted at full length on the surface of the water. While ly ing in this position she floated several rods. ma king all the time the moot desperate efforts to get under water. She only succeeded in gettin; her bead under several times, and seemed glad enough on each successful occasion to get it out again. While engaged in this Interesting employment she was picked up by a small boat. and pulled out, groaning and lamenting that she could not be al lowed to have her own way. She had no thanks to offer her preserve's, and evidently did not afore elate very highly the favor they bad rendered is pulling her out. She said she bad expenenoed enough of this world's troubles, and wanted t ; „ b e out of lt, all of which was doubtless true enough. for she tasked forlorn and poverty-stricken. It would have been impassible to have saved her if she had sunk, but on account of the manner in which she floated it was impossible to drown her.— Detroit Free Press. Tar.
