The Disnuionists in the Field*
There is something daving in tho call for a
Disunion Meeting in UliUadelphia, and parti
cularly when tho call is ibrfsuch a meeting at
Independency Square. By reference to our
advertising columns, it will bo seen that the
Disunlonists, who refreshingly call themselves
“National Democrats,” are to assemble in
grand conclave, on Monday evening next, to
ratify their treason at Baltimore.- Theso
men have no title to the , name of National
Democrats, nono to the character of belong
ing to the regular Democratic organization,
and, least of all, nono to the idea of being de
voted to the Union. They are against each
and all of theso glorious principles.* The call
is therefore courageous. , That, they should
meet at Indcpcndonco Square is good. It is

A,Qucstiou of Eftiquctii*';
It is stated in tho English payers that a dif
ficulty ha 3 been raised at St. Petersburg,
about tho reception o!' Lady Ciumpton, wife
of the British Ambassador at that Court. . It
is eaid ibat-tho objeetion-is that, before her
marriage, sho was simpiy Miss Victoria
Balpe, an opera-singer. The article aayn :
“ The Russians are aghast at the idea of a
eiagor having precedeueo of the ladies of the
whole foreign Corps Diphmatiqui, together
with the entree to tho palace. They cannot
sop how ihe daughter of a musical composer,
tho leader of the orchestra of tho Opera House,
(herself a public eiugor moreover,) can
worthily ropresont tho Majesty of England!
They say “ it is true n noblo Earl married an
actress, Miss Faebek ; the late Earl of Essex,
Miss Stephens, tho uinger; tho late Duke of
Sr. Albans, an actress, Miss Mellon; the
late Ear! of HaitnisGiON,, an actress, Miss
Fooie ; the Into Ear! of Craven, an actress,
Miss Brunioii, &c., but none of these noble
men were embassadors or other representa
tives ol British Sovereigns.”
The case is not fairly put by the Russian
sticklers of etiquette. The Countoss of Derby,
was Eliza F abrek, actress; tho Countess of
Craved, was Louisa Brunton,. actress; tho
Countess of Essex, was Kitty Stephens,
singer. Each and every one of those ladies
had an exemplary reputation before and after
marriage, and wore received at the Court of
tho British Sovereign for the time being, just
as if they bad been Dukes’ daughters. Their
husbands, in a word drew them up to (heir
own elevated otatioa, and Society gladly re
ceivedthem.
On tho other hand, the Ducliesa of St. Al
bans, (Miss Melloh, afterwards Mrs. Courts,)
and tho Countess of Harrington, (tjio noto
rious Oolono! Bereely’b Maria Foom,) had
light cbaraelGis and loose conductbeforo mar
riage, and were never received at Court, or in
any Society which bad a caro tor ita own
repetition'.. It was just the same with the
late Countess of Blessixoion, whoßo character
was about as bad as it could bo before mar
riage; sho nover ventured to solicit a pre
sentation at Court, and was visited, during her
resl ionco in London, only by gtnllemen.
■ Miss Baiae bad an irreproachable reputa
tion daring her short but brilliant professional
career, ami there cannot bo tlio slightest doubt
that she will attend Queen Victoria's Draw
ing Room, (boiug now In England,) with a
certainty of being well received there. On
her. return to Russia, should any doubt thou
esiet as to hor right to tho en/rdo to the Im
perial Court, the Master of tho Ceremonies
may bo reminded that Henrietta Sontao, a
public singer, quitted tho stage to marry Count
Rossi—that, while n public character, she had
snug at the Opora House of St. Petersburg—
and that when sho subsequently accompanied
berhusbnud to Russia, whither ho was sent as
Ambassador from his own country, tho Em
peror Ivicholas and his wifo cordially recoived
her into tiieir most intimato society. As per
sons who stickle for sligtie/fc aro greatly in
fluenced by precedent, hero is a case In point
which may be found useful. No doubt Sir

Fire-worke in the City.
Tho firing of guns, and of squibs, serpents,
and rockets within the city was, by an act of
the General Assembly of tho Province of Penn
sylvania, prohibited and punished by fine and
imprisonment. This was in 1721, quite the
infant days of tho city. If the sparsely-built
and thinly-populated city then roqjfired le
gislative protection from of this
character, surely now there is a-thousand
fold stronger obligation enjoined upon-the city
authorities to protect life and property, by rigid
enforcement of all laws and ordinances prohi
biting and punishing this intolerable
structive nuisance. .
This endangering of life and almost daily
destruction of property by firing squibs,
serpents, rockets, and double or single-headed
Dutchmen, should be stopped* Tho laws
should be enforced.
Tho following city ordinance ought to bo
placarded in tho Mayor’s office, and posted on
every policemau’s hat from now uutil Fourth
of July patriotism, whether juvenile or adult,
subsides, or has spent its fiery element in tho
broad fields of the country, or in tho Tlvers
suitouDilliig the city. On tho 9tli of duly,
1.821, the city passed the following ordinance;
“Section 1. If any person shall throw, cast, or
firo any rquib, rocket, urotbor firo-vrork, in or into
imy of tbo streets, lanes, or alloys of tho city of
Philadelphia, every such person shall Forfeit and
pay for every such offence tho sum of five dollars.
The pthei* three sections of this ordinance
impose tho penalty of five dollars upon any
person firing oft' any gun, pistol, fowling-piece,
or other fire-arms iu any of tho utrecta, alleys,
or highways of the city, or from any house in
tho city. The same ponalty is inflicted for
permitting any of the above acts to bo done in
any house in said city; and tho like penalty Is
imposed upon all persons making or assisting
to Drake any bonfires iu any of the streets, al
leys, wharves, or squares iu the city.
Itev. William IT. ItliUmru’s.Lecture
La*>l livening*
Jiic announcement that tho Rot. Mr. Milburn,
tbo blind preacher, formerly chaplain of Congroas,
would deliver bio colebralod lecture at Concert
Hull last ovenlng. on “ What a Blind Man Saw in
England,” attracted a very largo and intelligent
audience at tho appointed hour, which, considering
tho inauspicious reason (something liko a pic-nlo in
.Tiauary) for Icctura-beard entertainments, nud
the fact that the lecturo last ovening was a ropoli*
ti m in Philadelphia, wa3 cortaiuly a vory Bub*
s<.intial compliment to its gifted author. Tho pro
ceeds, by tho way, wero, with commendable -frank*
wees, announced to ho for Mr. MUbntn’a own bone.
fi\ and tho large attendance was, therefore, all the
qioro significant ns a tribute of respect. Tho hall
was nearly filled.
At 8 o’clock precisely Mr. Milburn appoarod
upon tho platform, attended by Dr. It. Sholton
Mackenzie, ot The Press , and Goorge A. Coffey,
E q., tho former of whom in a felicitous three-ml
mUeßppocoh introduced theleeturor to tho audi
ence. Dr, Mackenzie said, that if he had not been
insured from the lecturer’s own lips that he was
bred and horn a Philadelphian ho should Hunk Mr.
M* a citizen of his (iho speaker’s) own country, as
certainly nothing could be more exquisitely Irifh
than the statement of tho Icoturer’s subject,
•■What ft Blind Man .Saw in England!” Tbo
Scriptures informed us that thero were tho3o
hiving oye3 who saw not, and those having ears
nho hoard not, but here was a man without eyes
who evidently saw, and to what purpose the nudl*
would now bo enabled to judge for thorn
ff-lve3. Ills hearing with hfs own ears,
but his seeing had evidently been with other
people’s eyes, and wo were now to have tho result
of both offer having passed through tho alombio of
the leoturor’s mind. The introduction was heartily
,3p‘piftuded by tho audience, and was concluded
with a strong though Jcllcately-exprcssed eulogy
upon Mr. Milburn’s effleionoy and valuable ser*
vices as a minister of tho Gospel.
Mr. M. then came forward, and, in his usual
clear, ringing tones, commenced his leotard pro*
facing U with a few remarks, full of boanty ancP
philosophy, upon the abrolnlo advantiiges of blind*
reß3. It seemed to him that, as God’s help was
1 always extended where it was most needed, so tie
blessing of his Provldenco, in a Bpeelal manner,
amended tbo blind'. There was & degree of wifi 4-
dom and sweet Christian resignation In these ro*
marks which at once won the hearts of his hearera.
Instead of hoing sightless in consequence of this
affliction, tbo blind wero rather rendored Argus
eyed, from tho.faot that wherever they went every
body stood ready to give the oydcs3 tho services of
their own eyos. Then, again, he thought there
was Toason to belieye that blindness was favorable
t ) mental eight, as the mind of such naturally
moved iu a more ideal light.
Tho lecture itself, although a repetition, (having
boon doiivercd in the same hall* on the evening of
October 13th, 1859, an extended notice of it thon
having bo«n given in theso columns on tho follow
iog-morning,) richly rapnid hoaring again. His
description of his voyago. across the Atlantic, ar*
rival in England,jrisit to London, otcotera, was at

mantlo, humorous, satirical, and colloquinl by

machinery of tho.!ecturo,wcre admirably arranged
to keep tho attention of anaudienco iu a peTfoot
strain of interest, aud tho frequent bursts of ap
plause with which the capital points wore greeted
ehowod how completely tho admiration of tboau
dionoo for tho man was, for tho time being, sunk in
tbeir deeper interest in hie strains of descriptive
and conteiuplfttivo eloquence. Ho isoloarly aman
of large aud varied information and oxtraordirary
ability, and tho manner in wbioh ho has absolutely
conquered knowledge, although
“ M olio entrauco Quito shut out,"
wore R notfur tho few parallel instances on reooid,
would seem well nigh miraculous. At tho oleao of
tho lecture, the great painting now on exhibition
in this city—tho Court of Death—was exhibited to
tho audience, with au interesting explanation.
The Scheme*
t FOr Tho Press. )
Mu. Editor : Do you not err in uffiriuiug it to
bo tho design ol the Administration to elect Mr.
Lane by dividing tho Democratic party ? I sub
mit to you that Uio Seccdera nominated Mr.
Breckinridge not that they loved him, but because
thoy hated Douglas; and that their programme Is
this: Thoy will endeavor to prevent tho people
from electing Douglas; and ako to protont tho
election of him or Lincoln by tho Douce ; and both
of these failing, then article 12 of amendments to
tho Constitution provides that “ thou tho Vico
President (viz: John •C. Breckinridge) aball act
aa President, as in thocaso of tho death or other
constitutional disability of tho PreaUeut. Tho
portion having tho greatest number of electoral
voto3 as Vico President (viz: either Johnson,
.Everett, Hamlin, or Lane) shall bo tho Vico Presi
dent, if suoh number bo a majority of tho wholo
number of electors appointed; aud it m person
have r majority, thon from tho two highest num
bers on the list the iienato shall choose tho Vice
President. It thus appoar* that if both tho pcuplo
and tho House fail to elect a Prealdont, then John
C. Brocklnrldgo thereby necessarily becomes the
President; and the Donate will be obliged to
chooso: the Vico President from the two highest
candidates for Vico President. J.

- The B occsslon loaders at HaUlmoro, in nnd but of
Convention, declared that they preferred to soo
Lincoln to Dougins. Thli wao tho Shout of Yon
coy aDd his set from the Gilraoro Houso, and this
was tho response of tho Secodors. I mark down
this fact for n special parposo. 'the Southern Dis
nniomstsprefer a Republican, a manwho, by their
own showing , is Ihtxr worst enemy, to Stephen
A. Douglas. Bo so good as to remember that
you, and Douglas, and your frlehds, have been
stigmatized as Block Republicans, beenuso you
havo steadily supported the Cincinnati platform,
mndo by tbo South, and forced by tho Bcuth upon
tho North. But now the architects of the Oincin;
nati platform, and tho haters of the Itopublioans 0j
tho enemies of their institutions, array thomselv&s
in favor l of tho Republican?, bgalnst tho chosen
candidate of their best frionds in tho freo States!
Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, has declared
for the Disunion-Breokinridgo ticket. This is a
strango indication. Humphroy is tho ablest of
tbo living Marshalls, and is ono of tho most prac
tical and comprohonßivb minds of tho South. He
has been a sort of-ti-floator” in politics since tho
entnstropho of the Taylor AdminUtrntiOD. Tho
break down of tho old Whig party, and tho subse
quent collapse of tlio Know Nothing or American
order, left Humphrey high and dry. He had no
other refugo but to become a pro-slavery Adminis
tration Democrat, or to act in open sympathy with
tho Northern Opposition, or to continue to bo an
American. Ho really liken Douglas, aud his frionds
aro not generally Breckinridge men. Judgo, thon,
or tho general surprise whon, at tho very moment tho
broak botwoen Breckinridge and Douglas gives tho
South Americans a chanco to recover their power
in Kentucky, Colonel Marshall should declare for
tho Breckinridgo.Sccos3ionists ! All his geniu3 and
oxporionco could not savo him from this ogregious
bluudor. 1 know tho theory upon which ho nob—
that tho revolt of tho Disuniouiats will control tho
South. But 1 believo that ho will be mis*
tukon in this calculation. Mcunwhile, it is
certain that the frionds of Outhilo in
Kentucky aro bitterly opposed to Brcckinridgo
Geo. A. Caldwell, duo. C. Mason, It. 11,. Stanton,
Dr. Peyton, and many more, including tho old
Democratic organ,, tho Louisville Democrat, are
all for Douglas, nnd it is now • believed tbul the
Louißvillo Courier, tbo late organ uf the Adminis
tration in Kentucky, but decidedly hostilo to
Brcckinridgo, will fall In on tho same side. Col-
Elnndon Duncan nnd Gol. Thos Crittenden, here
tofore prominent Americans, have both declared
for Douglas, and it is stated that almost tho entire
Democratic press of the State has taken the samo
side. A lato totter from-W. 0. Rives, of Virginia,
assumes that Douglas Is (ho man for the (imQSt~
But tho Bouth Americans arc active and alert.
The 7 soo in tho conflict in tho Democratic ranks a
prospeot for recovering lost ground. I can con*
ceiyo why a Oppositionist may stay with'
hts own party, ox go to Douglas; but it puzzles my
comprehension that a sensible man liko Humphrey
Marshall should sltsoh himself to thoDisunjoDlgts,
whoso COUTBO must bona disgraceful as it will
certainly bo brief. It may bo that Colonel Matr
shall looks to tho Spanish mission, alleged to ho
shortly vanated by tho resignation of Colonel
Pronton, of Kentucky, whoso large fortune, easy
habits, and elegant tastes, conspiro to induco him
to reject laborious service of any kind. Colonel
Marshall would make a splendid miuistor—and I
w!eh him well in his now aspiration—but I advise
him not to put his trust in princes, least of alt in
J.B.

Tho Hiililication Meeting,
(From tho Petersburg { Vr.) ludox, June 2f».J
Ae goon aa it was known last Saturday that
Judge Douglas had received the nomination at
Baltimore, its effect oould at unco bo perceived
throughout tho city. A strong ©xoiteuiont seemed
to porvado all classes. Tho particular friends of
tho successful candidato mauifcctod thoir delight
in moot extravagant terms, whilo those who sympa
thised with tho becedei'B received tho anucunco
mout iu sullen dissatisfaction.
Our bullatin board waa-surrounded the whole
afternoon by an exoi*od_crowd eager to lenru tho
further action of tho Convention.
In a lUtlo while aflor tho nows ol the nomina
tion was received, largo handbills woro put out
Announcing that a grand ratification meoting
would bo hold at tho court house, and this faot
was still more oxtemivcly mado known by tho aid
of a baud of music which was convoyed through
tbo streets in a wagon plentifully decorated with
tho aforesaid hnndbills.
pIE MEETING.
At an early hour in tho evening an immonso
crowd had gathered at tho court hou6o, and tho
meeting was organized by tho selection of Mr.
Samuel W Venable to act as president, and Mr.
Ww. J. McGowan as ocoretary.
On motion of Hon. F, E. Rivcu, a committee,

ponding whoso action Timothy Rives, Erq-, ad
dressed tho meoting at longth and in eloquent

Thoy deprecate disaonslons in tho Democratic

gates who remained in tho Convention.
Tho second resolution recognizes only ono Con

Secedera’Convention j and tbo third extola Judge
Douglas, and approves his nomination.
These resolationß did not reocivo tho unanimous
approbation of the mooting. An exciting debate
upon thorn CDBued, Messrs. Thomas Wallaoo and
Thomas Branoh mipporting them, and Messrs. J*
R. Branch,-W. R. Johnson, and Dr. Claiborne op
posing them.
Tho discussion was protracted to a lato hour,

The Very Wrath ©p Giuep.—A fowdoys since,
tho death of Mrs. Ruth F. Fryo, at Winneganco,
Maino, was noticed in tho papers gonornlly. It
now appears, by a communication signed by her
father and carried by her husband to tho Bath
Daily Time I}, 1 }, that she became deranged under
tho pressuro of Calumny and falsehood. Tho af
flicted rather thus speaks of her wiokod ran
lignera:
“Could thoy look into that palo marble faco;
oould thoy view the result of their own damna
ble work without a nhudder? Bho now relgna
with her Saviour in glory. But wlioro are they?
Ah ! let them bownro. Thero ifl ft place in
the rcnlinfl of Pluto, reserved for them by a
just God, wboxo shrieks and wailings nrino
on every ride; whore fiery furnaces roar and
tremble, yawning opon for tho recopthn of
their victims; wnore tho exultant yell of a
thousand fiends echoes and ro-eohoes around tho
vastcavom; where scaly sorponts. with quivering
tongues and fiory eyes, coll thoir slimy folds;
whoro tho Furies, whoso hair of snakes twists ami
wroatho* around, Bit, tearing tho palpitating fibres
of thoir .victims with red-hot longs, to whom tho
relief of death is never given. Lot them be

collected for tho testimonial. Tho committee will
order a monument of tho vnluo of $B,OOO, but tho
design has not yet been decided on. '
; Mcssrsi Joseph Argenli* and Androw Paltenghl
have submitted four plans, tho drawings of which
weremndo by Mr. Bflrignl Tho first and most
elaborate of those is a momimonfc iu tho composite
prdor, about forty-livo feet in hoight. On the.sub*

'a shEft twenty-three feet high, including plinth,
base, and capital. This monument' would cost about
S24^oO—a far greater sum than tho committee will
JjAVd at thoir disposal. ■
Tho next in order,'by M QS3rO, Argenu aud Pal

tel-riho plan of tho pedestal being oblong, with
circular projections, and the sub-pedestal being an

word Broderick, aud vipon that upon which tho
statuo stands is tho motto, “Ho novor deserted a

and will cost $(>,500. - ( ' ~, .
Another plan by these sculptors la as follows: A
Grccian-Doric obolfsK; and, although plainer than
tho last iu detail, is muoh hotter proportioned, and
much moro appropriate In design,. It hoars tho
game motto, and would cost $7,500.
A fourth plan is by tho same sculptors. It is
similar in general design to tho last, but muoh
moro elaborate, being in the “ Renaissance” style.
Tho mouldings of tho baso and tho fillets, whioh

also'sculptured with a bunt of Brodoriok, end
tho plinth boars the same inscription. It will cost
$0,600
Mr. D. Sullivan has submitted seven plans for

Death oi* G. 1\ 11, James, the Novelisi
[From tho Now York Boat, 37th.J
George Philip ltalnforth James, of whoso death
wo aro apprised by tho arrival of tho Europe, was
born in Hunovbr Square,. London, in 18lH, and wont
to school to a Frcnca emigrant at Greonwioh, from
whom ho early aoquired a taste for French litora*
taro and history. When fifteen yoars old ho wn3
sent to Franco, his stay iu that country lasting
sovoral years. Ho early exhibited a fondness for
writing, and somo of hie manuscripts coming io
the notice of Washington Irving, that gentleman
advised him to undertake somo work for tho preas.
In consequence of this advico, James wrote and
publitshou a Life of IZdxoardy the Black Prince.
Ilia first novel, was written iu 1827,
whon ho was twonty-uix yoars old. the manuscript
having first received tho warm commendation of
Walter Soott.
Professor Wilcon, of. tho Nodes Amlrosiana %
also says r “ Richelieu is one of tho most spirited,
.amusing, and interesting romances levor road;
characters well drawn—incidents woli managed—
atory perpetually progressive—catastrophe at onco
natural and unexpected—moral good, but not
•goody—and the wholo felt in every chapter to bo
tho workofagontleman ”
, Tho BUSCOS3 of thie work decided Mr. James’s
career, aud from tint date to tho year of his death
bo was mi indcfatigablo romanco writer. His
romances wore almost ontlroly founded on histori
cal facto, uud tho subjects wore drawn from
pvory ago and clime. Attila and Arabolla Stuart
both find their lives recorded iu his pages, and
Asia -and Amorica aro alike the scenes of
hi 3 numerous , dories. To givo a list of his
works would make this article read like a book
eoHor'n catalogue, fi3 bio writings whon pub
lished numbered no less than one hundred and
ninety volumes, including fifty-ono works In
three volurao?, two iu •four volumes, six in two
volumes and seventeen In one volume, most of thorn
post-octavo sire. Tho most popular of these, in
addition to thoso already specially mentioned,' aro
“Agnes Sorel” (1853), « Arrah NeU” (1815),
“Onstlo of Ebtonutoin” (1817), “ Heidclborg”
(1846), “ MorloyJhmUoiu 1 (1812), aud tho “Life
of Ohurlomaguo (1832), which latter WB3 highly
praieed by Do Quincey.' His lmt work, published
»n 1859, is called “Tho Cavaliers.” Probably the
litorary fecundity of Mr. James has never been
surpassed by any olhor writer ia the language.
Mv. Jamea’a literary merit and ability wen not
unrecognized by tho English Government, whioh
so frequently honors its litorary cubjccts. For a
few months during tbo reign of William IV., Mr.
Janioo bold tho postet “historiographer of Great
Britain,” and in 1850 lio was appointed British
consul to Norfolk, Virginia. Wmlo hero he mtido
an oxtonsivo Araerionn acuuaintanoo, and tho Har
pers, not long after, published now editions of his
works. In 1838 ho was promoted to tho consul
shipped Venioo, and it was naturally expected that
•the infiuonoo of tlmtjromantlo city would result in
a new romance of loaal situation; but this antici
pation was not fulfilled.' - Romo two months slnoo
he was attacked with paralysis, find it is probably
owing to anothor attack that ho has at longth suc
cumbed, though wo aro not yet informed of tho
particulars ofhis death.
Although James, qithhis “solitary horseman,”
has boon Iho butt of considerable ridicule, and thq
subject of various “slashing” reviews, not a fow
distinguished critics ofFnaland have recordod their
admiration of his works. Leigh Hunt says: “I
hailovory fresh publication of .Tames, though I half
know what ho is going to do with tho lady "and gen
tleman, and hia land e oapo, and his mystory, and

The Alleged Increased Mortal!it at
the ALuanouai;.—On Monday lact, in Common
Council, Mr. James Armstrong, of tho Third ward,
introduced a resolution, which waa adopted, pro
viding fer tho appointment of a soloofc committee of
flvo mombero to inquire into tho alleged increased
mortality in tho Almshouse, undor it 3 present ma
nagement, compared with that under tho old ad-
mnistralion, of a Board of Guardians elected by
tbo people. Thin statomeathaa oxeited considera
ble discussion in various quarters, bobg tbo first
charge of mismanagement which has boon brought
forward against-tho present Board, who are gen
; tloman of undoubted character and standing in
tho community.
The mombors of tho presont Board of Guardiuns
express thoir entiro willingness to submit to the
most rigid sorutiny into all thoir official aots, and
tho results flowing from thoir system of manage
ment, In order to arrive at a oorroot conclusion
a* to the truthfulness of tho statomont put forth by
Mr. Armstrong, wo havo been.furnished, from ro
uble sources, tho following statistics, showing tho
rates of mortality in the House within tho period
embraced in the comparison mado by Mr. Arm
strong, from which it appears that, instead of thoro
being an incrcßeo in the number of deaths since the
presont B&nrd came in power, thoro has boon a
deoroaso of 11 por oent. comparod with what it was
under tho old Board, with a population of about
tho samo number.
Tho present Board assumed powor on tho -lth of
J uly last; so, in order to giro a fair comparison be
tween iboir management and tho former Board,
the statemont wo give below is takon as far hack as
July 1,1858, tho period of time embraced in the
comparison mado by Mr. Armstrong.
Tho ftverogo population of tho bouae, from July
1.1858, to January 1,18511, was 2,102. Duringtho
Mine period tho number of deaths wo/ 330. From ,
January 1, 1850, to July 1, 3859, the population
everaged 2.021, and the deaths during the same
timo were 325, making a per oentago of deaths to
tho population for tho year of 25 13-100.
From July 1, 1859, to January 1, 1860, the ove
rage population was 2,442, and tho deaths 271.
From January 3,1850, to Juno 23, the average
population was 2,598, and tho deaths 313. Esti
mating 0 deaths to toko place from Juho 26 to July
1, would mnko the number of deaths, within tho
past six months, 318—which shows a porccntago
for the year, upon tho average of population, of
23 37-100, or li per cent, less than under tho for*
mer administration. •
This mortality, upon tho ratio of population; may
seem largo, but it must bo considered that it is
based upon tho average population, and not tho
whole number of inmates of tho institution, it bcim?
estimated that some 8,000 persons aro annually ad*
milted and discharged from tho houso.
Another portion of Mr. Armstrong’s comparison
referred to tho inoroasod number of deaths in tho
lunatlo department undor‘the new Board. This
would seem not to bo substantiated by tho record,
for wo find tbaUor the first six in onths of 1859, tho
number of doaths in that department was 43 ; for
tho luat eix months of 1859, 30; and for tho first
months of 1860, 37 ; with about tho same number
of inmalod as during tho first period named.
The matter Is in tho haudsof a competent corn
uutteoof Councils, who will proceed to make tho
ntoessary Investigations, aud report.

• Tms Proposed Philadelphia Steamship
Companiv —Quito a munorousand respectable com
pany of gontlcuion assembled nt the rooms oi the
Board of Trade, last evening, to hoar from Capt.
T. J. Cram, of the United Stales Topographical
Engineers, William Mont Storm, Esq., engineer
of Now York, and Walter Campbell, Esq., onglnoer
of Now York, an explanation of the proposod lino
of steamers to run botwcon Philadelphia and Cali
fornia, and botwoon this city and Europo. Thin
plan was originated somo time since by Captain
Henry Randall, and has been frequently explained
to tho readers of The Press.
In tho courso of Captain Cram’s remarks ho
took occasion to make a comparison botween tho
imports and exports to Now York, and those of
Philadelphia. 110 contended that tho foreign dry
goods trndo from Erropo to this city, via Now
York, wns oxtonsivo onough to support a lino <U
root to Philadelphia. In addition to this, ho
thought that tho very largo emigrant trndo whioh
centres in Philadelphia, and nrrives horo by way
of New York, might be brought directly to this
city, and tho benefits accruing from it would bo
enjoyed by us. In tho illustration of beso propo
sitions tho spanker quoted vory largely from the
published trade statistics of tho two countries, and
proved by tho figures on the record tho truth of
his statement.
Tho peculiar ndv&ntagos of tho lino of steamers
ns proposed by Captain Randall were dwelt upon
by tho speakers. Tho Captain, in his plan, pro
posed to huild a line whioh would eombino' the
various advantages to bo wished for in sea travel.
Undor his system a steamship could bo built safer
in construction, more commodious for freight, aud
comfortable for passengers, and less Unblo (o tho
disadvantages of sea-rolling and sea-stolcnes?. At
j tlio conclusion of theso remarks tho meeting ad-..
journod.

some ordor on tho respondent (Mr. Hufty) in re
ference to filing an answer. Thoro Boomed, ho said,
to bo a propriety in making tho application now.
Tlio law requires the contestant to file hia petition
within ascertain time, and it wauld be exceedingly
unjust to allow tho opposite sldo to have all time.
Mr. Brewster, for tho respondent, replied that
ho did not understand how tho other side could re
quire Mr. Huffy to file an answor. This is not
»i proceeding against Mr. Hufty, but against tho
people. Tho people nro interested in it. Mr. Hufty
need not make his nppoarnneoboront all, orbo can
com© in and say that hodina every confidence in

Thoro could bo no power in the oounty to compel
iho obedience of any order such rb thta; and in ab

Thero the respondent was required to filo Jars an

Tho Judge roforred to tho vaguo nature of the

Hons.
Tho court overruled tho motion or Mr. Dcohort,
and it was understood that, if tho respondent
showed deriro to introduce now matter, ho should
