Brammell .refused to attend the Prince to his carriage at he close of the night,, and the Prince obswved, the next day, < Had Brammell good-himoredly taken 1 the cut f gave him. last night,l 'should have renewed ,my .intimacy with Hm.” It must be confessed that in this passagt of arms, in which the Prince did not behave Ike a gen tleman, Brummell had the beat bf it. By this time, Brummelfa capital vas nearly expended, and hts resources malnlylepended upon the hazard of the die. When Alderman Coombe, the brewer, who had hen Lord Mayor of London in 1800, and aflfeced tObo a man of fashion, lost £BOO to BnmmeH, at Brookes’n Club, as he 'handed the cih to'the Bean, the latter said: “ Thank yoi, Aider man. For this, I shall always your porter.” Coombe coolly anSwered.« Thank: yon. 1 wish every other blaokgnart in Lon don would do the same.” On onebccaslon, in the early part of his career, Brtramell won £25,000 at one sitting, and lost Ml of it, by the same means, on tho following wak. At last, Brummell was playid oit. This was in 1816. Raising £l,OOO at nlnons in-i terest, he took French leave of sodety, and retreated to Calais. His own vertlin othisj downfall Was that he had good lnck'ln every thing while he kept in'his pocket a articular . silver sixpence with a hole in it. Hr paid this coin away, by accident, and Rom '.hat hour misfortune aftermlsfortnne copblnd to.lay him low. • ' Calais is as dull a town as any to rhich an ex>Autocrat of fashion could bo exlsd. Yet Bragimeil could jest upon it, in his «rn cue. Some one said he must be lonesome and dull there, and the Beau gaily asked,- '< Do not you think that a gentleman might ntnage to pass hlB time pleasantly between Lodon and Paris 1” At Calais, Brammell took room in the house of Monsieur Leleux, in theßueßoyale: it was at one time the Hotel d’Ang'eterre, and in but a few yards from the Hofei de Ville. Brummsll spent a considerable potion of his El,ooo in handsomely fhrnishing tiese rooms, and his gold dressing service waslaid out in one of them, in great state and difnlty. One of Tom Moore’s journals, dated November, 1822, mentions his having called.upon Brum mell, while waiting at Calais fip thS 'bbat, and adds “ Saw his fine toilette, (whbh tie-King gave him in the days of his favo/) net out in a little bedroom 8 feet by 9.” t Soon after Brummell’s flight for jarls, his fhmlture, paintings, buhl work, old Sdvres, porcelain, chased plate, libtary, ay W ] ne were sold by auction, by order of, tht sheriff of Middlesex,” and realised’ Thero Vas much competition foi' aritcJes ; of virtu.

Ho had,such a great idea of his own, importance, that when LordSofton, who had.just arrived,mot him pn the street and said, “Wo bad a,report In London that, you were dead,” Brummell-re. plied, “ Mere stook-Jobhing, my good lollow, more stock-jobbing,” as if his doath could af fect the Inorioy.market. .' In the autumn of 1821, his quondam friend, Who had become George IV., passed through palais, «n route to Hanover.. Brammell was In the crowd which cheered tho fat monarch on his arrival, and was recognized with the excla inatfon,'« Good God I ■ Brammell I”, Nothing name of this. Brummell wrote his fame in the bock of visitors to the King at Dessln’s Hotel, brit declined requesting ah interview. Brummell sent a box of Borne particular'snuff which the’King put a ptindred ponhd note In the box and returned It. The King’s last words were, “ 1 leavO CaWis; and have not seen Brammell.” j In September, 1880, a few months after the ttesth, of Georgo .rV., the Duke of Welling tou, then Premier, appointed Brummell to .tho British Oonsnlate at Caen, In Normandy. Me bwod sb much inoney, by this time, in Calais, (that he found it difficult to leave that placer His banker’s account was 12,000 francs against him. All his beautiful Sevres china and bnhl iras sold, and taken to Ehgiand. The pro ceeds did not pay half his debts. Finally, he borrowed 12,000 francs extra from his banker, to secure whom, for the wh'ole debt of 24,000 francs, he made ovcr £B2O per ahnnm, out of niswlary of £4OO. 1 At Caen, having only eighty pounds a year 10. llve upon,' Brummell resumed his usual ex travagance, and borrowed more money from jM. Leveux, hia Palaisbankor; also, from Mr. [Armstrong, a grocer at Caen, and two bankers there. To make matters worse, Lord Palmor eton wrote to him to know .when a British lOcnsulate were required at Caen, and Brnm tl, who hoped that his frankness would cause to be removed to abetter place, answered that a Vice Oonsnlate coaid do the little that Was to be done. The next missive from Lon don was his dismissal, without pension or ap pointment. His London friends helped him pgain, but he had exhausted eveh their libß jrality. He was attacked with paralysis, lodged ps a debtor's prison by his Calais banker, and finally released by means of. a lost subscrip tion in London, to which William IV. contri- Ibntod one hundred pounds. This was in 1885. Soon after hfs intellect failed, he lost his [memory, he grow careless in his dress, and [abandoned his so-long-cherished elegancies of 'dress, and finally fonnd a refuge in the Bon jSavenr, whore seventy-five Scaurs de Chorite, 'fifty novices, and numerous servants tend I upon the unfortunate who are poor as well as insano. Ho was placed in tho rooms once occupied by Bonrrianne, Napoleon’s private secretary, and died there on March 80, 1840, his mind recovering Its strength an haur be fore death. ,He was interred in tho Protestant ccmcivry of Oaen, and the monument over his remains, erected by his family, records that he [died aged 62. His character has been developed in the I notices which we non close. He reigned for 'twenty years os King of Fashion in London, land' lived, a mendicant and spendthrift pen j sioner on his friends, for the remaining twenty fbnryears. He had a few good points; one of Iwhicli was that, through him, no woman’s re futation was ever sullied. He was, in short, i« nobody’s enemy but his own.” In concluding those sketches of Brummell, let us add (their mi’lior-liip having been [claimed by a person who Is totally unae- I quainted with the writer) that tboy are from I the pen of tho writer who, since the first num -1 her of Thb Fazss, has usually occupied this portion of that journal.

Ist. That I did hot, by my oonrse in the National Convention at Charleston, seem- to - ** believe that the Cincinnati platform'’ls a sound exposition of Democratic principles.” ; 2d. That I treated its adaption by tbe Conven tion “ as ifli oOnstitated good ground for tho dele gates from the extreme South to iritfadraw from the Convention.” f ■ J : Bd. That I, with others of the Pennsylvania de legation, signed a paper binding ourselves to withdraw from the Convention with Virginia and Kentucky, because it (the Cincinnati platform) was adopted'. l - | You are believed to be truly friendly to Judge Douglas’ nomination, and as suoh, friend, (apart from other obtiohs and' controlling considerations,) you should not permit your pdper to become the vehicle of gross misrepresentation as to any dele gate in the Pennsylvania delegation, who voted , with tho friends of J>udge Douglas, uniformly, and In every instance, upon every question in relation (o the platform; both at, the private meetings of the : delegation, as well as in the Convention. Now, fir.Vhat was unqualifiedly my position, and the following propositions are true as regards myself} Ist. That I did advocate and vote for the doc trine of non • inUrvdntion y as incorporated In the Cincinnati platform, and (if you please) as con strued and understood by the friends of Judge Douglas, and that I did oppose, In speeches and votes, in every, shape and form Jin whioh it was presented at the meetings of the delegation, and by my votes in the Convention, every proposition that favored the power or duty of Congress to legislatefor the protection of slavery in the Terri tories, believing and maintaining that the asser- tion of suoh power or duty was dangerous to the peace and permanenoy of the Union. Hence, I voted in the Convention for the minority report or platform, whioh was adopted, and against the ma jority report. I offered in the Convention a reso lution, as the extreme of my sentiments on the subject, approved by the friends of Douglas in oar delegation, and for the purpose bf oonoillatlon only, deolaring that Congress had power to legis late, so as to provide the courts with ample pro cess to enforce their docrees, founded upon existing laws. 2d. I utterly disapproved and condemned the withdrawal of the delegates from the extreme South, and maintained that it was a step that was calculated to make a material part in a scries of movements tending to destroy our Federal Union. i 3d.|That so far from signing a papor to with draw from the Convoution, with Virginia and Kentuoky, or in any contingency to withdraw, I did not at Charleston see or hear of suoh a paper,' or that it was signed by any one, and, I have not tho slightest knowledge ou that subjeot, nor did it ever enter Into my imagination to withdraw. Tho only paper I heard of at Charleston, as signed by any portion of the Pennsylvania delegation, was one to our momberof the Committee on Resolutions, Hon. H* B. Wright, requesting, him to vote for (I repeat from memory, as reported to me by Colonel Wright, never having seen the paper, or a copy of it) resolutions which were approved of by the mojority of tho committoo.

SITUATION OF WILLIAMBPORT—SCBNIHY—FRANK LIN RAILROAD—CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL — THE WEATHER, CROPS, AO. [Correspondence of Tbe Press.] Williamsport, Md., June 1,1860. The town of Williamsport is situated on the east bank of tho Potomao river, r t the month of the Conocoohesqhe creek. Tho population of the town is about fourteen hundred, and there are some very fine family residenoes and business houses here. The Washington County Bank is located here, an institution behind .none in the State of Maryland for safety, and favorably known through out the conntry. The streets of the town cross each other at right angles, running north and south, and east and west. Those streets running east and west are eighty feet In width, and those running north and south sixty-six feet wide. The scenery around Williamsport is grand. To the north may be seen - tbe outlines of the North Mountain, lifting their lofty peaks toward tbe sky, while on the south rocky ledges line tbe cane! and river for a considerable distance. The country east of town Is undulating, and is filled up with many beautiful and highly-soltlrated forms, with noat and finished farm-houses, giving ample evidenoo of industrious and honest yeoftanry. On the opposite side ef the river, in Virginia, the land is hilly, and composed mostly-of slate, but is well attended to. The remains of a Revolutionary sire, Gen. Otho Holland Williams, the founder of the town, repose in a sarcophagus, enclosed in an iron railing, aboat eight feet square, and four or five feet high, beside those of a beloved and lamented son, Edward Greene Williams, in the pubtio cemetery, on a high and commanding mound, overlooking the beautiful Potomao, on the west side of the town. The bones of other distinguished dead rest in that oeme tery. Should the Franklin Railroad be extended to Williamsport, a distance of six miles from Hagers town, there would be a prospect of Philadelphia reaping a rich benefit therefrom, aa thero la a char ter for a railroad from here to Martinabnrg, Vir ginia, a distance of thirteen miles, which would certainly be made, thereby connecting Philadelphia with Southwestern Virginia, Southern Kentucky, and Western Tennessee, which trade is of some value. Besides, by Completing the Franklin Rail* road to this point, coal oould be shipped from Cum berland to this place at a very small cost on the oanal, whloh passes here,.supplying that railroad with a fuel not surpassed by any in the Union. There is also another consideration for completing 'the railroad to this point, and it is this; A better site oould not be found for railroad maohine shops, for repairing looomotlves, and other works con nected with railroads; and there is no laok of water for steam purposes. It is estimated the coat of completing the Franklin Railroad from Hagerstown to this town would be about $14,000 per mile, and that of the Martinsbnrg Railroad some $lO,OOO or $lB,OOO per mile. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal la in fine navi gable order its entire length, 1841 miles, and boata laden with coal for the District cities are passing almost constantly, while upward-bound boats bring the merchandise of the Southern cities. The weather in this seotion of the country is de lightful, and tho crops; never appeared more promising, whloh makes glad the heart of the fanner. Yoatorday tho Chesapeake and Ohio Canal ohanged officers, and those persons employed on' this division of tho work, upon cessation of their labors, marched to the tune of the violin and other mualo (having their implements of warfare upon their shoulders, suoh as pjoks and shovels, with whloh to stop leakages and . breaks in tho canal) through several streets of our town, oreating some merriment. Yours, £o, - - Potomac. Raising Bunns to Fight Locomotives.-—' The other day, says the Pittsburg Chronicle , a plucky Uttlo bull, which lives on the lino of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, about six miles from Wheeling, was gracing about near tho track and picking tho fresh grass blades out from between the oroas-tieflj when ho hoard a locomotive coming down upon him. The locomotive whistled for the bull to clear the track, whloh the bull made ah effort to do, but being olosely crowded by the iroi horse, and not being disposed to while feather, even to a superior and fiory opponent, h|s young bullshfp turned about, pawed the earth, bowed his bead with the determination to give his pursuer the best he had in the shop; The en gineer seeing this, put on steam enough to knock tho bull sky-high.. The two came together with a terrible oraah. His bullship was knocked into an “ infinite number of small pieces,” the engine was thrown from the traok, and, like the oars behind it, was ptastered and bedaubed with bloody meat and ghastly gore. Theownerof this 111-fated but game bovine, soma year or so ago, lost a steer in a simi lar manner, for whloh the railroad company ro fused to pay. Since that time he has been engaged in the cultivation of game bulls to fight tho Cleve land and Pittsburg engines. The animal whose fate we have just obronioled was left out of Ms Easture by his owner, with the expectation and the Ppe that ho would eneounter the loooxnotive. We heard the owner say, yesterday, that he had still another bull, much larger and stronger, abd tgamer, whloh be intended to let out in a few dxys to fight tho engine.

Captain Hoxie, was burned to the water’s edge, in the harbor of Sydney, on the 28th of February. The origin of the fire was unknown. She was just ready to sail, having taken in a oargo of wool, hides, tal; low, etc. During the week ending February 24 the Sydney Mint coined 25.000 sovereigns, (about $125,000,) and received 7,484 ounces on deposit'for coinage*, i Some nowly-dlscovered diggings on Snowy river* in the colony of Victoria, are reported to be very rich. f The Legislative Assembly of Victoria has voted $126,000 for the removnl of. the ‘ ‘ sludge” (a soft mud, called “ slum” by the California miners) nui sance in the mines, and it was proposed to vote $50,000 more. 1 • The sum of $130,000 had been voted to dredge the harbor of Melbourne. Later from Japan. —The dates from Japan aro down to the 15th of Marqh, and'as no mention is made of tho death of . Townsend Harris, United States consul general, the reports circulated in the East are evidently incorrect.. The intelligence be low will be found interesting: Horrible Murders by Japanese.— The Atol brings an account of a murder committed at Yoko hama, at about half past seven o’olook in the eve ning of the 26th of February. Captain De Vos, of the Dutch brig Christian Louis, and Capt. Decker, of the Dotoh Bohooner Henrietta Louis, were walk ing through the broad street of Yokohama, when they wero attacked by somo Japanese with swords. The former was killed almost immediately; tho lattor, in endeavoring to escape, was.seised by ono of the assassins, wbo cut off his hand aud fore-arm. He then walked about one hundred feet, when ho fell down and was brutally murdered; Tho h*nd was found about twonty yards from the ppot. Mr. Devos was twenty-five yoarsof ago, and Mr. Decker sixty. They wore both quiet, roßpectfblo roeD, and had just left tboir friends to purchase somo things before going on board ttaoir rhip?, when they were attacked without the least provocation. —Skavghae Daily Shipping jfeu?s.
