Breoklnridge has at last accepted the nomi nation of the Richmond Disunion Convention, as will be seen from th; subjoined letter : -" Dara 818 I In answer to your letter of the 26th ultimo, containing official information of my nomina tion for the Fresideney of the United States by the Demoaratio Convention assembled at Richmond, I have to eay that I accept "the nomination, and shall strive to merit the confidence implied by the notion of the Con yention.

On the mars recommendation of a surgeon, Sulli van's Island is to be vacated, simply to permit the Disunlonists to throw into it a nucleus of rebellion, in the emergency of Abe Lincoln's election.

That explains, also, the object of the Breokin ridge movement In the Northern States, which is to elect Lincoln, and to pave the way for a South ern Confederacy. Are the A.merloan people asleep? The overwhelming defeat of the Brackinridgo ticket in Kentucky has not been without effect upon Mr. Breckinridge himself. Letters from him to his friends here, in Washington, have very mush discouraged the latter, and it is said that some ap prehensions are felt that be will resign some time before the election. His amour propre has been deeply offended by that crushing defeat, and he regrets that he ever permitted himself to be used as a tool in the hands of Buchanan anti Slidell. He thinks that by withdrawing hie name from the field he may regain his former position is the Democratic party,-and make 'himself ono of the foremost candidates for the Presidency in 1864. Mr. Crittenden's recent eulogy of Douglas ; his open 'declaration. that he considers the "Little Giant" a good enough Union man; the speeches made night before last at the Union meeting in this city, severe against the present corrupt Ad ministration, and ridiculing the young Major, on account of his versatility of changing his prin ciples according to eiroumstances—having been in 1856pr0, and being now scuba; popular sovereignty -alluding at the same time, in a quiet and rather flattering manner, to S. A. Douglas as a gentleman worthy of the confidence of the Aoierloan people, rather prove that the apprehensions of the Sece ders aro not entirely beyond plausibility. The Union men would have no objection to take the Southern offices, leaving the Northern to the Don: glati men. The idea that the Condors would go out of the Union Is utterly absurd. They may leave individually, but their States will remain in the Linton.. The Union men, who probably may get a mejority of all the Southern Stater, will not permit a minority,of Are-eaters to rule. Some of our ladies who expect to oonfor the hot nor of dancing with them upon the Prince of Wales, if he comes here, have not been a little amused that the Prince, in the dance, gives the lady his left hand, and she is not permitted to take his right, as being contrary to etiquette. That's well enough as long as he remains In Canada among his subjects; but here in the Lulled States he is among, equals ' among sovereigns, and our belles will remind him of that fait. Princes are sometimes rude, but gentlemen never. They will tell him that it Is well enough to be , a prince in Canada, but in the United States he has to be a gentleman; they won't dance with him without his giving them the right hand ! They abhor morganatio matches. Nox. The Prospect Poi Breckinridge. LIMIER PROX ♦ SZCIDER. ICorrespondence of The Press.) Yon must not al%w your correspondents from this point to underrate the. strength of Breokin ridge in the Sointh. I know your own feelings, per frlendls_as their tr. h..--3a+, enlisted against him, and I can realise that his friends have been greatly discomfited by the late result in Kentucky; but r beg to assure you that the Southern people are-:allying heartily to his standard, and that his friends in Kentuoky are confident of the success of his electoral ticket in November next. Mr. Senator Benjamin sends word that two. thirds of the entire vote of Louisi ana will be polled for Breckinridge. The divided faotions of the Demooratio party in Virginia will come together at Staunton in a few days, under the load of Wise and Bunter, and that State, I think, wilt go for Breekinridge. . We have every prospect of success in Maryland; the very action of the State Committee the other day, in striking the names of Douglas men from the electoral ticket, proves that we have. Douglas has no full electoral ticket in Georgia, and in North Carolina it is uncertain whether' his friends will attempt one, although Mr. Dick, a delegate in the National Committee from that State, has initiated a movement in that direction: In Alabama we have more trouble than we expected, but nobody pretends to doubt that Breekinridge will extermi nate all opposition in that State. Arkansas will go for him almost unanimously, and in Tennessee-- although you will not like to have me say so—An drew Johnson and A. 0. P. Nicholson, the two Senators in Congress from that State, both mode rate men, are both for Breokinridge, and both cer tain that the State will go for him. There is little or no Douglas feeling in Tennessee, except about Memphis, and that grows out of the activity of J. Knox Walker, and Carrot, the lately removed post master. Missouri will probably not go for Breokinridge, but Ido not think it will go for Douglas. Thera aro no Douglas men in Mississippi, few or none in Texas, and as to South Carolina, the sentiment is unanimous against him. Do not ridicule this rough estimate, which I send you merely to protest against your habit of misun derstanding us in the South, and which I insist upon your publishing, as an impartial journalist. If Pennsylvania mould give us a lift in November, Breokinridge would be elected; with' the aid of California and Oregon, and the South would have a President pledged to her own peculiar doctrine. One who is not afraid of the name of SECEDER. From Shippensburg, Pa fOorregoondenoe of The Preu.l SIIIPPENSIMEG, Aug. 11. For weeks past, there has been a constant talk of the excessively dry weather is this neighborhood ; bat last evening blessed us with a delightful rain— one worth thousands of dollars to this immediate neighborhood. It commenced raining about six °Week, and continued, with but short intervals, until nearly ten. During tho night we had several showers. This morning we had a beautiful. clear ing up shower, but not equal to the one we had last evening. This Is said to be the finest morning we have had this season. Tho'corn crop, of which the farmers had given up all antiolpations of real ising anything near a good crop, now promisps a good yield.

The subject of ear notice le a man who has bided hie time, made his opportunity, and become a man of mark in the pc °miler sphere which he has seleeted for the display of his prowess, and we question if to-day—apart from the political arena—there is one whose name is as familiarly known throughout the Union as the muscular champion of the world, long time known among his friend's as " The Benicia Boy." What senses have led to this dietinotion which the champion so modestly wears are patent to the public. Mr. Heenan is not by profession a pugilist. He emerged from a quiet sphere of usefulness in defence of a principle— stung by the taunts of would-be opponents In both hemispheres. Etc seltimposed mission has termi nated, and he desire+, to return to privet° life and the pursuit of those avooatione which will render him a worthy member of our groat community, and not merely the champion of the athirst° of Americus. In this determination the thousands who, have sung his praises and gloried in his suc cess should aid him. OcoAsiox/L AN Irishman named Edward Burns, a wea ver, of Fall River, Mass., was arrested on Banal street, Providence, on Sunday morning, on a charge of having attempted to poison his wife and family some months ago at Bebronvine, Maas. The poison was 11118/110, and was mixed in largo quantities in a barrel of four. By the timely assistanoe of a physician their lives were saved, although Mlle of the parties feel the Whets or the poison now, in the lose of power• in their limbs, whinh will probably affect them for life. THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, TVIONI)A'Y, AUGUST 13, 1860. " LEXINGTON, Rai , 24,1860. WASHIBOTOS, Angus ]2, 1880 Lotter from London. Cortearondorme of The Prooll Loms, July 110, 1800 At the clubs, in the coffee houses, upon the etroets—overywhere London, nothing is talked of but Lord Palmmstores panto speech, and the dashing, straightforward' reply of Louis Napoleon, through Id. Persigny. The latter has taken us all by storm. Palmerston's speech and the ministerial measure asking a vast sum of money for the pip pose of constructing coast fortifications, besides soaring the kingdom out of its wits, touched Eng lishmen in one of their weak points, inns sneer at the English navy being incapable of defending the Island from invasion. Ni a all know with what ac cord and smacking relish Englishmen have shouted at home and abroad; in 'the words of the poet Oarkpbell, "Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers aloes the steep; Her march Is o'er the mountain we've. Her home is on the deep." It would seem to be conceded by the Govern ment now in office that that may be fine poetry but very poor fact, and that, instead of " wooden walls," frowning and bristling Bebastopols and Oronetadts must dot the British oast to save the purlieus of Bt. James, or the more sacred precincts of Buckingham Palace, from the Zouavo yell of the French troops. While the Tomes hesitatingly ap plauds the Emperor's avowal of an ardent desire for peace, yet ft catils, and one way or other ex hibits ate distrust of " the nephew of his uncle." In this it only re-echoes the popular opinion. We hear that Napoleon, in his expedition to Syria, with its armament and body of troops of gigantic size in proportion to the enemy to bo assailed, looks more to an annexation of that country to his Algerine province under the vice royalty of Abd-el-Bader, than to subserving any pretended purpose of humanity. I know that nothing offends the people here so much as to run a comparison between the villainous, cowardly Sepoy troops of British India who rebelled and massacred men, women, and children, and the gallant, faithful Turcos and Zonaves who fought well and with des perate valor for the glory of France upon the re• cent battle-fields of Italy. And it is more than insinuated thit Napoleon has been unearthed too soon by Palmerston, and that now he resorts to duplicity to conceal his cherished scheme of ad ministering upon the effeets of " sick man" Tur key, whose dissolution, it is believed, rapidly ap proaches. "Geiger's and hydras dire " start up every morning to affright honest burghers and ner vous traders. Mr. Bentinok, in the Rouse of Com mons, a day or two ago, to add to the general alarm, called attention to the present aspect of the affairs of Europe, and the necessity of conferring on the Government more stringent powersfor dealing with foreigners of suspicions character, resident in this country. The matter was deserving of the serious attention of the Government, and one which they ought not to overlook, when the possibility existed of an invasion on the part of France; for the pre sence of the agents of foreign Governments might greatly embarrass our defensive operation', and facilitate the successful landing of troops on dif ferent parts of our coast. He did not wish to im pugn the character of foreign residents in this country ; but no one denied that there were many thousands of foreign residents in London whose character was of the worst description, and who might be employed in the destruction of the rail- ways and telegraph wires. He doubted whether, in case of an emergency arising, the Government had the power of adapting such sammarymeasares as might be necessary to deal with it in an effectual manner. To whieli Sir G. O. Lewis replied that her Moja!) ty's Government did not atitiolpate any Immediate danger; bat, looking to the changes that had taken place of late years, they bad come to the conclu sion that our coasts ought to be placed in a proper state of defence. In the event of any imminent danger there would be no difficulty in passing an Allen Aot. It would, however, require amok stronger reasons than those advanced by the hon. gentleman to ludo° the Government to ask for a discretionary power of dealing with aliens, and it wee not their intention to propose any such mea sure to the House. Notwithstanding all this, I am inclined to be- Have that France intends no war with England. Austria hates her malignantly; and, in such a war, it might be that Russia with Austria, and perhaps Prussia, would avenge their wrongs, real or pretended, by the destruotion of tho empire. Wellsandeed, does Napoleon know that with the complications in Italy, his war in China and Syria, he cannot involve himself, without great risk, in a war with England. Subseriptione continue to be taken up for Gari baldi. Re has, indeed, won for himself immortal fame, and I am glad that Viotot Emmanuel has . had the good sense to start off to th e mountains to hunt instead of obstrnoting Garibaldi's way toward the complete demolition of Bomba's hateful des potism. Wo wish, as I have no doubt you do in the United States, that ere long Francis 11, S not sent altogether to the devil, has at least been forced to hurriedly seek quarters at Vienna. Yon know, dear Colonel, Glancy Jones is there, and young Bombs can have consolation from him, for both have been exiled because both have been rejected of the people.

Bat most important business has been put off to the fag-end of the session, and Ido not look for a prorogation until September. The fortifications bill and the bill on Indian affairs, with, others equally important, demand conside ration and notion before the separation of the Home. I hear that the English Government have insisted hat the Government of Syria should be re•ergan- ised, that the ftillest inquiry should be made into the late 'disturbances, and the fullest retribution should follow where the guilty parties wore dia. covered, and that a European protectorate should guarantee the security of the Maronitea, and from Sicily that Garibaldi will invest Signor Depretis with dictatorial powers as soon as possible—a mea sure which will leave Garibaldi free to go where ho likes whilst it secures Sardinian responsibility for the Island of Sicily. /TOFU. Napoleon's Letter to Lord Palmerston OPINIONS 0? THE PRESS The New York herald comments upon this Im perial epistle after the following manner : "But it should be remembered, in addition, that the Emperor cannot, it he would, give a fresh di rection to the career which destiny has chalked out for him. Europe is divided into two hostile camps —the one progressive, the other conservative, and, in fact, we might almost say reactionary in its principles. Circumstances have placed him at the head of the former, and his energetic and restless temperament renders him peculiarly fit ted to conduct it to the results at which it elms. But in doing this the greatest prudence and eimumspection aro required. Were he to show his hand too freely, or to suffer those opposed to him to fasten upon him the imputations by which they endeavor to embarrass his plans, he would lose the hold that he possesses on men's minds. It is in his apparent amenability to public opinion that the secret of his great influence lies, and therefore it is that he so trequently demands from the diplomatic reserve in which monarchs and statesmen usually involve themselves, and com munes in a familiar and informal manner with the world at large. Ile knows that in no more effec tual way can he paralyze and disarm the combina tions that are certain to be formed against him by those interested in thwarting his projects. "Whatever may be the temporary object of the declarations put forth in the Imperial epistles, one thing is certain, and that is, that they cannot alter the logical sequence of the writer's, ants. Thus, he may disclaim any designs of aggression against England, but it cannot be denied mat ho is rapid ly placing France in a position by which, if ho en tertains such designs, they may easily be carried oat. We must not, theretore, feel surprised at the susceptibility of the English mind on this suhjeot, or at the Emperor's anxiety to allay its approben— Mons. 01 course, it by no means necessarily follows that because he desires to place Prance on a par with her powerful neighbor in regard to her fleet, he meditates any aggressive steps against her. His conduct in Italy certainly entitles him to a more generous oonstrootion of his motives on the part of the English people. Not only has he adhered meetly to the doctrine of non-intervention pro pounded by him in the affairs of the Busbies, bet lie still proclaims the same doctrine in regard to Naples, where hie family interests might well have induced him to hold beak. If his policy were purely a selfish one, ho would have reserved in connection with that kingdom, the pretensions which Prince Murat might reasonably put forth in the event of the ejection of the Bourbons. In the matter of Byrthothatever may be his ultimate object, he cannot be blamed for giving effect to the gene ral sentiment of horror and indignation with which the news of the atrocities committed there was re ceived by the Preach public His proposal of an armed intervention was made to England in two forme, either in the shape of a delegated Authority on the part of the Christian Powers, or conjointly with them. That interference of same sort was urgently called for no one will deny, and the Em parer deserves craftier the promptness with which he responded to the general conviction on the sub• jeot. He may have, and no doubt bee, a political motive to serve In taking the initiative ; but be can hardly be found fault with for that. Both Great Bri tain and Mesta have exhibited too little sorupu loneneee in connection with the affairs of the Porte to render tho intervention of France on a question in which the interests of humanity aro so deeply continued a matter for the world to feel alarmed at. We believe the Emperor when he tells us that it is for the interest of France that the stata quo in Turkey shall be preserved as long as possible; but we can also understand that it is for her advantage that she shall be on the spot when a term is put to it. By having an army of 000upation in Rome, Louis Napoleon has, for the last ten years, been able to make Italy the lever of all his political movements on the Continent of Europe. By an armed inter vention in Syria, be will gain a similar foothold in the affairs of the East, and when the partition of the Ottoman territories takes place, will be in a position to insist upon a fair division of the spoil." ATTEMPT TO FIRE A VEeeET,.—On Saturday night, about half peat nine o'clook, a fire was die covered in the forecastle of the sohooner J. E. Coohlin, lying in the Delaware, at the third wharf above dallowhill street. It commenced among some old sails, pine woad, and other combustible materials. No person was on board the vessel at the time, but two men who were fishing en the wharf, discovered the tire, and it was soon 'satin guishtsl. Sunioion rested upon a man, named James Jackson, who had been employed on board the boat as a hand, but had been discharged a short time bef re. Jackson had been heard to utter threats against the vessel Previous to the Oro breaking out, Jackson was seen to go on board the yeses , take off one of the batches, and then go away. The pollee of the Eleventh ward sueeeeded in arresting Jackson yesterday morning, and toek him before Alderman Butler, who oemtnltted him for a further hearing on Tuesday.

[From the Londoi times, Au 41.1 The Emperor's Letter will be read with interest by all, with satisfaction by those who can forget the logic of facts. The style Is the fall Roman hand, familiar to the man who has won an empire, who has more recently annexed two provinces, and is master of a hundred legions. With the argument of success nothing is so easy as selfqnstilloation. ft must be observed, however, that it to no excuse for the annexation of Savoy and Nice that it was condithinal on Tuscany and the Duchies declaring for Piedmont. A steam navy may be far above the real wants of a nation, and yet be far short of the previous number of inning vessels. Prance may have only 400,000 men actually "under arms ;" but when, for our own security, we measure men against men, it le necessary to take into account the [tun manse addition she can make with a single fort night's notice. "But why are all these topes to be brought up, when we are only invited to a common policy in the affairs of bouthern Italy and the East? Certainly, there is a case for interference of some sort in Syria; and, as neither the British Parlia ment nor the British press have given the leant countenance to the susploions and rumors which are current respecting the origin of thu civil war, the prejudice against which the Emperor ~eerns to defend himself. can only arise from the actual ope rations of French diplomacy in the Bast, They may or may not have contributed to the 'present deplorable results, and the oonsequent appeal for European intervention; but English statesmen and writers have expressed no opinion on that question.

Two Men Drowned at Long Branch. The Now York Herald says : A sad easualty occurred at Long Branoh on Sa turday, at the usual bathing hour. Among the bathers wore Dr. Edward G. Demmer, of Jersey City, and Mr. John Whittaker, of Trenton, and a party of ladies. From some cause the ladies be came apprehensive of danger, and Dr. Demmer and Mr. Whittaker proceeded to their relief, and in their efforts became exhausted, and before as Bletanoe could reach them both wore drowned: The Doctor was drawn into a boat as soon as he could bo reached by Mr. Green, a fisherman, and taken ashore, and as several physicians were at I hand, every available means and effort!' were used to restore both of the gentlemen, but without M OMS ; they bad passed beyondthe power and skill of man to bring back life. Mr. Whittaker was a largo, stout man, who, it is said, a brother of Mr. Green swam ashore with. His wife and son, about seventeen years of age, were with him at the time. He had been here about three weeks, and was about returning for the rest of the family an Monday. There aro five or six other EOM and daughters left to mourn the unex pected and sudden loss.

No question has been, of late, so pertinaciously agitated as that of the modification, repeal, or en forcement of the Sunday laws. The people of the two great oities of America have discussed the moral and social relations of man to the Sabbath with an interest akin to bitterness, and the contest still continues with little hope of an early adjudi cation. 813.129,662 76 /./58,660 00 It may not be unwise to glance at the amuse ments and labors of the Philadelphia masses, as now conducted upon the First day; for, if there be a necessity for a modification of the Sunday laws, a comprehensive review of the Sabbath as i . it is will go far to assist that modification. 4105 CHURCH•QOINO PUBLIC. Probably 100,000 citizens attend religious wor ship at least once during the day. The majority of these are not oommunioants, nor professed con verts to any faith. They go to church from various oonsiderations—respeot to the services, family as sociations, curiosity, etc. The Sabbath schools hold two sessions, and most of the scholars like wise attend worship. The scenes upon Sunday morning, when these are collecting at the several schools, are very picturesque. The sound of the church-going bell" rings out its cheery but mono tonous muds, and straightway the tremulous air is laden with the harmony of footfalls. . Little urchins, with chubby faces, patter along the clean pavements, their wrists grasped by the stronger bands of little sisters, and each bearing blue-back ed hymn books and tracts. Then the father of the family goes by, with oaoh hand clasping the liners of his prattlers, and sober ladies, who teach In the basement of the neigh boring church, pass lightly along with mutton , but kindly faces. Then oome boys in irregular squads, with library books. Some have coats which set upon them ungainly, and most have rowe of gilt buttons upon the untarnished blue 'sloth of their " roundabouts" and jackets. Every body has something to say, and mingled choruses from happy hearts oho along the streets. The streets are nicely swept. Most of the swellings are closed. Business men lounge in their clean shirt sleeves upon the white marble threshold of their homes, reading with a dignified interest the oolumns of the Sunday papers. Dark eyes peep through darker lashes from the crevices of parlor shutters, and delicate white hands are seen st upper windows to hurriedly tie the red ribbons of the bonnet under dimpled chins. Now the 'Mimes of bolls from St. Peter's and Christ ohurches peal grandly forth, " and children of larger growth" begin to stir toward the tabernacles. flare is the minister who bows in return to a hun dred salutations. Tottering along, with vacant and dim eyesight, goes the aged Christian, LL white looks sparsely streaming from beneath his bat, and leaning trustfully upon his staff. The air has a fragrance which work-days do not know, and souls which never worship at the altar nor heave with the gush of the deep-lunged organ, glance tenderly through the tree leaves at the serene sky, and look with a faith they may not doubt, through the beauty of Nature up to Nature's God. But the most motto of the churchmen crave some enjoyment. The afternoon is fresh, and with a cigar between their lips, the young and the.old go out for some When we speak of promenading, we mean plea sure promenading. Thera are certain avenues and suburban [Tots which are noted for Sunday walks. Prominent among these comes Broad street, from Poplar street to the Germantown Railroad. The spacious mansions upon that broad avenue form weekly objects of admiration. Monument Ceme tery is the resort of thousands, and there aro two or three diverging lanes beyond the cemetery down which the pedestrians stroll. At three o'clock the promenade eommenees. Here are oitisens of Southwark, who have sauntered listlessly up the Ridge avenue; denizens of Kensington coming by scores up either side of Girard avenue; and sober people of Spring Gartien swell the number by me. mentary arrivals through 'every alley and street. They pause before the beautiful mansion of the Anspaohes—once a flourishing college—and speak in transports of the whiteness of its marble and the elegance of its architecture. They throng the sidewalks, and through the iron railings gaze with curiosity at the orange and lemon trees, whose tropio fruit bangs fall and yellow under our colder sky. There la the " laburnum's drooping gold ;" over statues of sylphs, and satyrs, and old divini ties are trailed the greenest of evergreens. The cedar tree, low and bushy, stands in dwarfed pos ture beside the deeper foliage of the "balm of Gilead." Through these the eye meanders down gravelled paths, over which bang the snowball and the tulip, while the tinkle of waters which one cannot see comes to the ear from some hidden fountain. But the mind of the chronicler turns instinctively from these to the crowd on the pave- The fire " b'hoy" is there, not a whit altered from the original "Jakey," and a living testimony against any transmutation of species. Be nourishes that whalebone cane with Its heavy .head as if spoiling for a row, and speaks aloud with a care lessness of conventionalities which is very refresh ing in this methodical age. Some dashing young gents provoke his /mount, and he makes some un generous remarks about their neektiee and boots which add speed to their nighty perposo. The crowds press on and the " b'hoy" with them. They go by in a very demooratio array, men and women, dogs and babies, calmly and nervously, anions and careless. , Here is a peanut stand kept by a Entail boy, who cries very loudly, in two syllables, " Yersyernice- Caleforneypeanutx on'ey slxoenteapint !" In a bucket of ice water rest three stone bottles with the cork tightly tied. In response to a request, the small boy states that they contain " Basyprilla, only one cent," and immediately the small boy screams very loudly, "Right away now, real Cale forney peanuts, only six cents !" and we move off to the musio of " right away !" Beneath spacious residences of brown stone, guarded by watchful cupolas, we move on. There pass ue hundreds of pedestrians who are returning— dozens of girls, flippant and orderly ; of boys, rough and mannerly; of men, devout and worldly; of dogs, (and dogs have no fears of Captala Frannie and hie bloody marinas on Sunday,) shaggy and smooth. We are at Broad and Master streets, beneath the massive residence of the 'renowned Forrest. Lit tle boys, who have boon twice to the theatre, and once to Sanford's," are lurking wistfully on the sidewalk. They hope to get a glance of the emi nent tragedian. Folks come by, look up to the polished windows, and say —' 4 Ned Forrest's place." Look up ! There is the tragedian ! He appears at the window a moment, without coat or vest, his tremendous body looming up beneath his knitted brawls and deeply lined features. There is the eye which flashed upon Leird Bay, and made Deademo na tremble; the muscular arm and fingers which strangled Appian Claudius. The small boys look up. Everybody looks up. Every eye runs over the outlines of that broad form and faoe, whose ap pearance has raised the dust from the pit, and shouts from the galleries. The eminent tragedian glances at the upturns 1 faces, and walks away. But the small boys linger about the side-walk, and speculate as to when the eminent tragedian is to again appear upon the stage, while the lad down the street is faintly heard to vociferate "peanuts." Bat here is a new sensation—a crowd beneath the shade of a large tree. Somebody is making a emporium° epeeoh, and relating very original aneo• dotes. The people listen good humoredly. Pubis cans are assailed as enemies to the race, and alco hol and malt stigmatized as deadly poisons. The marriage at Cana in Galilee is overhauled, and ingeniously proved to have been destitute of wine• But there is an interruption. An individual, slightly oblivious, ventures to make a profane remark. Ile is at onoo dragged off by a valiant policeman, and the juvenile element of the audience immediately give obese We are at Monument Cemetery—beneath its high wall, while the terraces above are crowded with sitters. Let us go in. ' Show your ticket !" from the stern gate-koeper—!! only eabsoribers pass in on Sunday." We are inside. Down the long paths the visitors saunter among the tombs and around the monuments. Here is the grave of George khiflier—yonder the firemen's granite shaft. A mother site down upon a little mound and whispers to Johnny that Mater sleeps hero. Johnny throws a sprig of cedar on sister's grave, and mother's tears trloklo down the blades of grass. In this city of the dead there is much of life, for laughter and joke echo over the graves, and totioli ing tombstone verses are read with a sneer or a pun. In vain do we road that in the midst of life we aro in death, for hors, amidst death, there are vetoes of life. Bach is Sunday on Broad street. The thorough fare to haunted until dusk, and in the moonlight trodden again. A tramp of ten minutes through the meadows, beside Oehooksink creek—not the rude, turgid culvert, but the sparkling rivulet, leaping and gurgling—brings us to Cameo's Woods, and thin introduces to another class of Sunday re. aorta, viz. : 13=1 The German mind is peauliarly active and im pressers. The German institutions and habits have been naturalized into this country, and are no longer German. Lager beer was formerly a dis tinctive Teuton beverage : not so any more. It has been nationalized, and a a ealons reformer might succeed in upturning any one or all of the mots and parties, but to attempt to eradicate lager beer would be as impossible as dangerous. Beer has been Judicially pronounced intorteating, and the law lays down that the sale of intaxioating drinks shall be prohibited on Sunday. flaw is it, then, that the beer gardens are not, closed? Because the Sunday law, in this direction, is an utter nullity; for the masses prefer the beer to the law, and the voice of the people is all-powerful. Thera are around Philadelphia more than one thousand sores of • hind deToted to beer ,trardens. SUNDAY PROSIENADING We Include four or five Owes in New Jersey, sup ported by Philadelphia patronage. One of the , largest gardens in the city ie known as Engle and Wolf's farm. It stands east of the Eohuylkill, near Columbia bridge, and at s distance of half a mile from the Ridge turnpike. The extensive breweries adjoin the river. In the centre of the farm there is a fine grove. An old-time mansion, standing beside it, has been stripped of its ancient furniture rind,turned into a bar-room. Here the beer comes sparkling and , rosy from the breweries. A spieket is driven in the head of the keg, and the beverage babbles out, with a snowy foam, into strong glass goblets. Four cents will purchase a mug of this infusion, and two mugs are warranted to upset- the most stubborn gravity. About the old-time mansion cluster scores of long tables with broad seats: These are peopled on Sunday by hundreds of citizens. To show the democratic tendency of Teuton luxuries we enumerate some prices: Beer with Schweitzer cheese and mustard, ten cents ; beer with Limberger cheese, eight cents; beer with red herring, tan dents; beer with ham, a herring, or sardines, twelve cent'. To them) who are fond of it, Schweitzer or Swiss cheese, is a great luxury. It comes, as its name implied, from Switzerland, and looks unlike ordinary curd or dairy cheese, only in certain effervescences or holes. Eaten without condiments it is fulsome and rank, but coated with a spoonful of the dark English mustard, and washed down with a quantity of beer, is exceedingly palatable. These German beer gardens are likewise tarnished with gymnas- tio apparatus. Some of them have theatres, al though in that partioular this oily is superseded by Now York. There are but three or four places in the city where these theatres are kept, and these are not opened upon Sunday. There is ono at Engle and Welt's, which gives two performances per week and supports a fall German dramatic company. The scenes in these gardens are interesting to sabbatatiene. Each of them has a, large dancing platform, where from morning until night the music is gushing, and the lassies of Hesse and Baden dance with a lightness which has no dependence upon the frequezoy of their inabibitions. Outside, the families are indulg. ing. The mother's hand pours beer for the Infant, and sturdy Teuton sons drink good-humoredly with their parents. It may be that the domestic attach ments of the Germans are strengthened by this unity of enjoyment. For the family ties are never kindlier and more enduring than in the homes of our Teuton citizens. An American would blush at the thought of taking hie wife to a beer garden, but he may imbibe himself, while she le in solitude at home. As a general thing, good order prevails at these gardens, not leas so on Bunday than upon lese•re• mended days. Where difficulties occur, our own rowdies are the assailants. It le a singular feet that most of the old man atone in the vicinity of the Schuylkill are being turned into beer houses. At Iggiesfield, &NIP' kill Heights, at the Falls, along the line of the Reading Railroad, and in sundry spots, we find this metamorphosis going on. The parlors, which were ones solemn with gentility, are now gleeful with song, and under the paternal oaks the Teuton site down to sport. BIINDAY GROGGEIIIIB The Brinday enjoyments of our own people are not so commendable. Hundreds of low groggerlea are open during the day, and alcoholic. stimulants dispensed as on week days. The spacious saloons on Chestnut street do more than their usual busi ness, and the resorts of seamen upon Water and Front streets dispense poisonous liquors. Efforts have been made to inaugurate suburban drinking places in the manner of beer gardens, but these nave invariably degenerated into scenes of bee. tiality and wickedness. SMITH'S IBLLIID Just opposite the city, as every olthen knows, lies Smith's Island, a famous juvenile resort. The lads who screens newspapers at Third and Chest nut streets make this a place of rendezvous on Sunday. A small steamer carries passengers across and back for six cents. Oa the island, the.attrao tions are a bowling alley, a quoit ground, a pond of muddy water, filled with snows, a fishing pond, and a large bath tub. The latter is enclosed, and water forced into it from the river by a steam engine. The scenes at this place, partioularly on Sunday, are very diversified and unique. Hun dreds of boys are swimming; some moneyed charac ter throws a penny into the tub ; instantly a wore of youngsters dive. Sometimes two get the nickel at the same time. Then there results a fight, in which one manages to pummel the other, and bold his head under water until half drowned. Sometimes the lucky diver ii assaulted on all sides, and the nickel taken from him, where. upon the second possessor is also assailed. We witnessed a humorous scene yesterday at this place. An urchin had been successful in diving for a three-cent piece, which he placed in his month Immediately upon coming up he set up a yell of triumph, whereupon a ohsgrined party struck him a stunning blow on the cheek, which forced him to swallow the coin. The parties fought for a half hour, greatly to the delight of the crowd. The assailant was repulsed. Pickpockets find this bath-tub a convenient resort. The clothing of the bstbers Is _deileSited_ in _boxes and_ it is an easy matter to get off with watches and °alb. — zrapplly the parties who patronize the tub are not generally troubled with these responsibilities. A boy was drowned at this place a few weeks ago. The quoit ground Is extensively patronised. The players pitch for "drinks," aad the booth accordingly does a large business. One of the moat frequent luxuries of Smith's Island is a dog fight. The canines are trained by promising urchine, and some gentleman divides a dime between the owners of rival doge to "set them at it." The news flies over the bland. Everybody is alive, and the scene of conflict is narrowed to a broad ring. The dogs are held by the quarters and instigated to engage, but are not allowed to "go at it " until grown ferocious from constraint. Then, amid a yell of triumph from the delighted witnesses, they plunge upon each other with a howl of gratification. They leap into the air and grapple. One of them is a bull mastiff, the other a heavy black, shaggy beast, with strength but net endurance. Isn't It beautiful? They roll over again and again, the throng opening to give them play. Now the mastiff has the shaggy ani mal by the nose, but the shaggy sees coming events. lie backs to the brink of the pond, and with a sudden turn hurls the mastiff away off into the water. How the blood gushes from his muzzle, but valiantly be takes hie place on the bank, and wherever the enemy swims up he is there to defy him. The dog cannot land. The crowd cry " foul." Somebody goes out in a scow to rescue the bull dog. Owners Bay they shan't be put at it again. Crowd know better. Dogs taken away from owners and ring formed anew. Then, with yelping and worrying, bleeding and feroolty, the noble animals engage. The bull dog gets the shaggy dog by the ear and sinks his long canines through the flesh. The shaggy dog grows faint. He falls. The bull-dog, true to hie instincts, hangs like a vice to his ear, and not until kicked, cuffed, and beaten, will he give up. Then the air rings with shouts of applause, and, by way of finale, several human brutes finish in a skirmish. OTHER SUNDAY RESORTS We have written until wearied, and yet there are many spots of Sunday resort of which the reading public do not know. There are delightful groves and beautiful drives, and up-river cottages, promenades over Schuylkill bridges, and along the towpath. With these we will not deal. But they may be marked ; for the oharaoter and tastes of the people may be known from their amusements, and their wishes as to the legal disposition of the First day ascertained from the manner of spend ing it. When worship is over in the still evening, the reporter makes his customary rounds, and the printer labors at the morning paper. They take their several ways upon foot, for there is no public riding, and jog at the coming of the small hours; to perhaps distant homes, weary of foot and longing for rest.

PROPOSZD HEPORME IS TIM FI111D11:Pittl- XENT.—For some time put a subcommittee of the Committee on Fire and Trusts of the City Coaneila and a rub-committei of the Board of Fire Direetore have been consulting together for the purpose of suggesting reforms in the 0111110111 orgabisatiOn of the Fire Department. Last week we published in The Press a list of the soggestione proposed by the sub-committee of Councilmen. These were re ferred to the Committee of the Fire Directors, who had several meetings lug week to discus the sub ject, and the following are the saggeetions proposed by the Firemen's Committee, to se submitted to the Council Committee : 1. ,Vach company shall elect a foreman and as sistant foreman, who shall have control of the ap paratus at fires. 2. The foreman and assistants shall form &Board of Fire Directors for the government of the Fire Department; and the said board shaft elect a com mittee of Ave persona, sot oonneotad with the Fire Department, to whom all complaints and dirt:ill• ties between companies Will be referred. 3. The number ofas-Mani engineers to be in creased from five to seven—one for each fire district. 4. The tire districts shall remain as at present. 5. Companies are to be restricted fr.m going into service only in the portion of the district in which they are located—that is to say, Tenth street shall be the dividing line, and if a fire occurs oast of Tenth street, in the Fleet and Second firs districts, all the companies east of Tenth street in that district are permitted to go in service while those located west of Tenth street, although they may come to the fire ground, will not go into ope ration until requested to do so by the chief or assistant engineers. If a fire should occur west of Tenth stree:, the oempanies on the west elle are to attend to it, those east of Tenth street laying off until their services aro required. Tenth street in made the dividing line between the First, Second, and Third districts, and the same rule in relation to companies going into service east and west of Tenth street, will prevail throughout alt the dis tricts east of the Schuylkill. A SERIES or BOLD BOBBEIttk2.-7sc-20n.x ter Astaxar.—For some time past, the residents of the Sixth. Seventh, and Eighth wards have bean metering from the depredations of thieves, who took advantage of the absence of occupants of the heroes, to enter and carry away everything of value they could lay their bands upon. On Fri day, Lieut. Goldey, with the officers of his district, succeeded in arresting Perry White and Henry Smith, on a charge of being concerned in these roi escrow, robberies; and Saturday the same officers found, after visiting a number of pawnbrokers, a large quantity of geode, consisting of black velvet mantles, silk opera cloaks, deem coats, overcoats, silk dresses, pants, vests, opera-glasses, and jewel ry of every description. The accused then made a clean breast of the whole affair, and acknowledged that three persons were engagd in the business. They confined their operations to the day-time, as the removal of the goods then was not calculated to excite so much suspicion. In the few months. they have been engaged, they state that they have stolen about $15,000 worth of goods, from which they received but a small proportion of the real value. Smith acknowledges that be has taken 150 silk dresses, and with the proceeds he purchased an oyster boat. This boat was, however, taken from him by his companions, who threatened to inform upon him, should he "make any objeetlon. The accused also state, among other things stolen was a lot of old coin, and the police, in thefr scarab for the articles, found they had been melted for old copper. Where they took watebee the move ments were destroyed, and nothing bat the cases pawned. A few of these were recovered, but the greater portion had been disposed of by the pawn brokers. Mr. McCabe, who keeps a pawnhonking esta blishment in Fatah street, and at whose house a portion of the stolen goods was found, was arrested, and, after a heating before Aid. Bolder, was com mitted to answer a charge of reeeivtng the goods knowing them to have been stolen.
