Dawson Is counted by some 'of-Douglas' friends, but it must be reeolleCted that he and Montgomery come .from the- suns Congreselonel district, and that they. are rivals and enemies. It is not likely, therefore, that Dawson wopld be mil- Ong to unit , with Montgomery when the latter, is a known confidential exponent in the delegation of Mr. Douglas himself. From the pint district Cassidy alone is (Moiled by the friend's of Douglas whtoh wilt be half a vote. 13eoond distriet, Third 'district, and Fourth district hostile.

Twenty-fifth district, ,re presented by Galbraith and Shattuck, (substituted for Derriokson i ) one vote for Douglas. What is meant by half a vote is where a dele gation divides. The practise of the Cincinnati .11onventien was to count the half votes in the ag gregate, no Metter frOm what distriets thrown. In ;Virginia the friends of Douglas assert that there is no hearty support of Hunter, and that when the tl Old Dominion" can decide the question, she will 'go to him, Brom Georgia I have letters this morning stating that a complimentary vote will be thrownler Clebh, and that then the delegates will scatter, ,eoine going for Douglas.' The friends of %ogles claim Upon the third ballet three from Alabsiina unleas the majority should conclude to throwthe vote of the State as a unit. 'Ohio, Ilif ooit, Indiana, Wisconsin, /oars; and Michigan will stand -steadily to Douglas to the bitter-fleree end. Thereon divisions in Minnesota. , A majority from Tennessee, fa,claimed for Douglas, after the fourth ballot: It will be !fees, that While The Washington: " slate" gives Doitglie but sigh votes Out of the ' Ponnsivanii delegation on the Stet billot, If a majority the dele gation be got, an effort will be made to ab sorb these votes by throwing the entire vote 'against Douglas.. ldrom.the complexion of the men tont to Charleston, 'however, it in evident that no mob decision will be secured. *bile there are' number w*t will not go for Douglas upon the first ballot, of probably mon the second ballot, they are net willing to unity themselves against the anti- Went of theDemocricy. 'lf they were, they could not unite upon any other individual. This estimate may be hiperreot, but it is the re sult of somewhat careful inquiry =onset the host of Awe:ma I have seen since Monday loft. „There, are 303 votes in the Convention, no mat ter what the number of delegates. The nominee must have 202 to get two•thirds. Unless there is a secession, from the Convention, on account of lbe strength of Douglas, (In which event a lesser num ber would make” two-thirds,) he will have to , toil hard to get the requisite vote. The bitterness against him is intense.

Semis C. Vex Drxx, Esq MR. VAN DYNE TO MA. BUCHANAN. MT Dune SIR : Your letter to me, under 018.4 of the 34th Ind., is this morning received, in which you inform me that "the duties of the Collector of an Important port and those of the District Attor' ney are in their nature so intimately oonneoted : that it is quite impossible for them to conduct the pub lie•bnsinese, with due regard to the public inter ests, while they are in a state of such open and in veterate hostility 'as to forbid all personal and offi cial intercourse with each other," and that for this reason It has been finally resolved to make a change In accordance with the views of the Secre tary of the Iressury, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Attorney General. I regret that your let ter is bathed stnee coming from the President, with 'whose appointment I have been honored, and concerning, as it does, my official conduct, I should not be expected to treat, it 'as snob. I, of course, have no objection to offer to the de termination on the part of the Administration to make the proposed ohenge; but you will, I trust, excuse' me in not allowing the impression to go abroad that this change L required because the personal and pellicle' relations existing between the Collector of the port and myself Lave ever pre vented, on my part, the proper discharge of °facial duties, or that snob relations have in any way con-, Meta with" the public Internet,. that such a change is not controlled by these considerations, is fairly inferable from the feet that the personal and , politioal relations that at present exist be tween the Collector of the port and Myself 'are precisely the same aa they were at the time of my appointment, and when at your personal solicita tion I aeceptedtheoMee, and are the same as they had been; with the full knowledge of the'Adminie tration, for nearly , one year previous to that ap% pointassnt. My relations with the Collector, as I have fre t quietly informed you in eqnversation and, by let ter, are the result of my unwillingness to approve the conduct of the Collector in his tyrannical abuse of the pateonage of the Federal Government, with a view to control the wishes of the people in their primary local eleettonc This, to conformity with your own just views as expressed in times past, When in 1839-'4O, 1843-'44, and 1847-'4B, it was supposed that the same power was used to prevent your political advancement, I have always ,disap proved and diseounteesneed, to the extent of my chilly. The banding trOther by a Collector of (Inatome, of the entire fore* of the subordinate Fe dotal °Meets, the neeeullee of many of whom may compel them to yield their own - eonviiitlons to his threats of removal, and the controlling of the po- Mitzi prtereneee of other persons under promises of appointment, are infringements of the rights of the people, a violation of the Democrat!. spirit of our institutions, and at all times dangerous to the purity and perpetuity ed an elective Government And in justification dirty course, I have to say, in a spirit of the utmost kindness and good feeling fo yourself personally, that no desire for ethos nor fear of removal could' indtreelte so far to forgot my self-respect, or forego my rights as a citizen, as to yield even a silent acquieseenee lathe conduct of the gentleman who, in this respect, has 80 gross ly abused the Federal, patronage in this State This has been heretofore the 'tense ot diversity of opinion between the collector and myself. An ad ditional cause he; arisen within a short time, which, being now fresh, appears to be the printi. pal matter of complaint. I refer to the fact that, within a few weeks, when the subject was brought to - my notice by a °Risen of Philadelphia, I ex primed my disapprebatten of the conduct of the Collector of the port, (if correctly reported to me,) in paying to panto* professedly employed in the revenue service, large salaries out of • the public tteentry, when it is said that saelt! perilous note *lndy „do not 411.4*re - the duties of their ap pointment, but eitheedeiote their time to other business callings, or are engaged in the discharge of other pnblie duties pinetirlY obmpensated.for,at a lower rate of salary. This I hive eonsidered to be in direct violation of law and treasury regula tions, and as subjecting all who were knowingly concerned in it to censure, I have condemned it, therefore, In compliance with' my anoint oblige lion to the Government, and with the confident be lief that my conduct in such matter would meet the approval of the country 'rind the Government. I have also to state that about October, 1859, I franklY informed you that if my eouree in all mat ters of party breisearthougit beadle to the dictation of the Collector 1 4 the port, viii not approved 'by you, I could not longer centime in office. , You at that time informed me that there was nothing that had oopureed_tojessen your confidence, or to canes you PideSire'eathange ; but, - on the ifsontrity,'yeur Irish wail that WoOld ootitinne in My' poeitgott ; at the ewe tinse.expieadng a desire that I should be on friendly peril..mil and political relations with the Collector, *Mehl Aid' *at impaisible.

I repeat emphatically that this letter presents my reasons for making s ellange in the office of District Attorney. lsiy extreme reluctance to do what might be disagreeable to you has prevented Me from addressing you at an earlier period, and this although your official importers in the different departments were long since of opinion that the public interests required such a change. , , I had hoped, although almost against hope; when I last solicited you to remain in °Moe, that your Personal regard for myself, if nothing else, would eventually induce you to modify your hostility against the Collector to much a degree as to induce you to bold personaland official intercourse with himoenoerniug your respective public duties. Had this been the ease, it is all I should ever have re quired, In this Impel am sorry to say i have been entirely disappointed. , ' I ellen pert with you with deep and sincere re gret, and at the present moment entertain no feelings toward you and yours, except those of hearty good will.

Yotir conversations with me, as well as your let ter, to me, on this aubjeot, have invariably referred to the subject in its political aspects, and as affect , ing the management of internal party politics, in which I have always considered every citizen fully competent to judge of his own course, without the assistsnee of a collector of customs. This was espe cially the ease in our last conversation to whiob you have referred, and in which you will no doubt, upon reflection, remember that official duties and relations were not mentioned. Your only request, ,at that time, was, that I would not interfere 'with / the Collector in his management.Of the then approaching campaign to elect delegates to our State Convention, called for the purpose of nominating a Governor, and sending delegates to the Charleston National Convention. And the only occasion in which I ever bad any intercourse with any other member of the Administration touching this matter was in 1838, when the Attor ney General, in conversation, informed me, that in his opinion the good of the party required union and concert of notion among all the 'Federal ME- I 138Y11. This conversation referred only to unity in the management of internal party polities; and had special reference to the judicial no. minating convention. The tenor of his con versation was to secure a complete copthination among the Federal officers, of a character which did not receive my approval, for If have always regarded suoh combinations as in confliot with the doctrine of State-rights as Interpreted by the De mocratic party, and have believed that to unite Jr them would be derogatory to every feeling of self respect. I regret that the duty I owo to myself and to those friends with whom I have acted, requires me to say this much; and I do it with no other desire than to place myself tiorrectly before you and them% ' With the assurance that I reciprocate your ex preasions of personal good feeling, your friend, very respectfully, Sian C.

Tho third lecture of the interesting aeries now in 1 progress at Motional Hall, Market street, above Twelfth, by the Bev. Dr. Cahill, was delivered last evening before a very respeetable audienoe, although a less nuntereas one, by several hundred parsons, than attended on either of the previous evenings. The subjects discussed in this lecture were, The Constituent Parte of the Atmosphere; The Chemical Uses of these Parts ; The Height of the Atmosphere; Its Motion; The Winds; Tropical Current/; Solar Calorie, and Storms. There can be no doubt that this distingaished di vine might have substituted a claw of subjects for hie hearers of much more general interest -to ,the leoture•going community. This wee demonstrated in the extraordiriary raceme of hie opening leetare,- the subject of which was not of a solentitio, but of a historical and national character. He commenced his theme last evening by. !toying' that he was about to treat upon a moat important subject of natural phillosophy—the phenomena of tile winds. The first point to which he would call attention was, the height' of the atmosphere, which was denominated a fluid, because* flowed. There were, for examplit,'seieral 'guide in the room in which he was then speaking—a fluid of light, another of calorie, another of air, another of elec tricity, and another of gravitation; and, what-Wai singular phenomenon in natural phileionby,aiehone of these fluids filled the, room. The field of air, he would remark, in the wont place, was an elastio , element, by which he meant that it seas susceptible of pressure and expansion. The atmosphere, In the next place, surrounded the earth like a belt, and was fifty-five miles in height. Now, his an dienoe would naturally ask, " How do yon know this?" which he would 'proceed to explain. Be fore doing so, however, ho adverted briefly to the cruet of the earth as being sixty-nine miles In thickness, which waxascertained beyond a doubt, from the fact that as we descended into the earth the temperature gradually increased; to prove which he referred to the fact that water at a tem perature .1120 degrees Fahrenheit had been taken from an artesian well in France, whteh allowed that as we descend a fled state of matter would be reached at a distance downward of slaty-nine But he would now proceed to demonstrate his camosphere proposition. It wag ascertained that on the earth's surface a cubical foot of air weighed six hundred grains. Also, that one mile higher up, on the side of a mountain, for example, & onbi oal foot weighed just eleven grains less, or•6Bit grains. The reason for this was, that there was less pressure upon the air at that altitude, and con sequently there was less condensed - into the same cubical space. And so ascending upward, it was not dlitioult to ealoulata at what Altitude the at mosphere would eerie," to have any perceptible gra vitation, The eomposacon of the sir next °coupled Lie a tention. The atmosphere surrounding the earth, be said, wan a compound of three gases, of which twenty-two one-hundredths were Oxygen, and about seventy-eight one.bnndredthe nitrogen gee. The wisdom of this oombination was here enlarged upon, in which 'connection it was stated that there was nothing in nature that, when analyzed, did not contain some death'''. tire part. The nitrogen of the air which we breathed was the element that gave nutriment, sustenanoe, support, and vigor, whilst the functions of the oxygen were entirely different. The re maining part of the atmosphere was earbonio- sold gas, which constituted about a thousandth part of its whole. • The eolidifloation of the gases wm next ex plained. As it regarded the fact, he might tell them that four miles out of six, of the earth's crust was solidified oxygen, This solidifying pro cess might appear strange, but it was never theless true. We had a familiar illustration of the transformation of a Bald into a solid, said the lecturer, in "the little child taking the hot' milk from the heart of his mother, and converting It into plump, solid flesh." So, too, we had in trees the illustration of the solidification i of oarbonio sold gas, &process mainly conducted by the leaves sucking this element from the atmos phere, and appropriating it as above described. Applying the same principle to metallurgy, the conversion of iron into steel, Se., the lecturer very characteristically delivered himself of the follow ing; Now, said he, the smith that makes the razor can do it hatter than r can; but I could be of great advantage to him by telling him the Nilo sophieet principle by which the process io effected. He can make the razor, I'll admit, 'a great deal better than I could; but I could 'explain the philosophy of the thing far better, than hs (the smith) could ever be able to comprehend it. Pal lowing this, he said that they were in the habit of saving at the university at which be gave us to understand he had been a professor, that it was not what the professor told his elms that was of moat advantage to them, but rather the argument ation which followed, as it was this that afforded the real mental training. Just so he would tell his audience now, who, be added, were is but a. class before him, and be was talking to them precisely as he was accustomed to speak to his Chimes in the university, as he passed from one department to another, including, of course, every department of learning, chemistry, mete physics, philosophy, history,silreek, Hebrew, ho , from which it was Very apparent that Dr. Cahill is a very learned man, albeit this episodal introduc tion of the fact threw no particular light upon the question under discussion. Re hoped that hie .audience would now begin to learn his way "of lecturing upon eeientigc subjects ;' and that, he had a way of his own of demonstrating all the great pfteciples of science upon whleh be leo-. tined. That the distinguished lecturer entertains. the highest respect for his own abilities is unmis takable ; in fact, his strain last evening" was throughout very mush that of an elephant among pigmies, many of the latter, in this case, judging from their somnolent indifference, having evident ly been stupefied by some of the Doctor's stunning propositions. . . Speaking of the relative temperature of the at, mosphere at different points, he stated both the faro that the air is colder. at the poles than at the equator, and the reason why. The very second- , the indivisible part of a second—that a globule of hot air ascended from the territory at the equator, that instant a current of air was set in motion at the poles, from both the north and the south, thus causing a constant. counter-current, by which we were made acquainted with -the principles on which the circulation of the atmosphere is effected and kept in constant motion. Ills explanations upon this bead were calculated to convey the im pression that there was a constant current of wind from the north Now, Baia be, this might be ques- tioned, on the ground that the wind was never known to blow from the due north at all. Here there was a seeming conflict ; " but," he con tinued, ~y ou are a farmer, and I'm a professor, and yr ma facie, I ought to know better than you do ; but the truth of the Matter is, that you are talking about boat winds, while I am speaking of universal winds." Toward the close of the lecture he interspersed an amount of wit whilst' not only awakened his hearers, but elicited their - repeated applause. ilia bolero at the acme plane this evening will be upon the "Equilibrium of the Solar System." PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE CONCERT SA tooNa.—There is now in existence in this State a law forbidding any theatrical exhibition, or. exhi bition of circus perfortaanees, or menagerie, in the Commonwealth, without first obtaining a lieenee, which lionise the troaeurer of each county is empowered to grant. In the city of Philadel phia tho price of a license for such exhibitions is fixed by the law at $5OO. For tome time past the large theatres have complained that the minor theatres, or "concert saloons," as they are termed, did a large buelnesa without taking out a licenee, as the larger theatres are required to do. These complaints were made to Benjamin Brown. City Tretunrer, and, in compliance with the wishes of the complainants, Mr, Brown laid the subject before Alderman Kenney, who has is sued notices to the proprietors of Banford'a Opera House, Thomas' Opera House, Long's Varieties, Stult's Lyceum, Thotneuf's Varieties, Shakepeare Opera Saloon, (Chestnut, a :tope Sixth,) Headquart ers ConoertSaloon, (Franklin Plams,) and the Cur. randy Concert Saloon, (Seventh street, below Mar ket, to appear and answer the ohargo. Theorise will be heard this morning. It it by no means a settled point that these exhibitions come under the pro visions of the law, as the most of them merely give exhibitions of singing and dancing which are not considered as " theatrical exhibitions" SAM plays are performed. The ease will be argued before the alderman, who wilt give his derision upon this point. The penalty for violating the law le a fine of not less then $2OO, nor more than $l,OOO, for each per fermium. Borne three months ago, Mr. John E. McDo nough, proprietor of MoDonough's Gaieties, was before Aldermen Kenney, charged with violating the law by holding theatrical exhibitions without first obtaining a license. The alderman held Mr. McDonough to bail. and the case was returned to swat, but, up to this time, nothing. bee been done in the matter. District Attorney Mann, in consulta tion with Alderman Kenney, expressed the opinion that the best inutile to PUT9IIO would be to post pone notion upon this ease until the cases of the fproprietors of all these concert saloons are brought orward, when the question whether the law ex tends to this class of performances or not can le decided by the court. If it should be decided that these establishment' come under the operation of the lair, it will very likely have the effect to atop this species of amusement, as the tax would be greater than the proprietors can pay. ROIIIIERY ors STORE— HE TRIEVES ela naeraD,—On the night of the 12th Instant, the tailor shop and store of Mr. Charles Brown, in Ad dington, Bucks county, was entered and robbed of a q uantity of clothe, cassimeres, ,to, ,Mr. Brown came to this city and entered complaint at the Cen tral.
