seriously damage the distributing interests of
this city than for the impression to go abroad
that manufacturers were withdrawing their
consignments from this market. There 15, of

to their credit be it said, the most prompt and
efficient consignees of manufactories anywhere
are , those located in "Philadelphia; still, the

most sagacious business men, in the jobbing
as welLas'in the commission business, cannot
but be crippling in its -tendency, and, if per
-slated in, may even induce prominent makers
of geode to concentrate their operations in the
hen& of such agencies as seem to them most
important. Let us look for a mtment at the
Mode : in, which we are' now Contributing to
this remit. An Eastern manufacturer places
his goods in. the hands of agents in this city
and New York. The New York operator pro
ceeds at once to sell as many of them as he
eau to the jobbers in his own city, at the same
time despatching runners- to Philadelphia to
supply our jobbers , here by sample. In the
meantime, the' Philadelphia agent has the
same goods, offers them at the same prices,
'and makes the same effort to sell them, yet in
many instances, through a misguided notion
of making goods more saleable by importing
them Item Manhattan, the New Yorker carries
eft the palm, and thus the importance of his
agency, in the eye of the 'ra'annfacturer, looms
up.
But the difficulty does not end here, nor is

These runners, after they have sold to the
jobbers, not unfrequently go to work, and sell

in the hands of their city retail customers, at
the same prices. To our, personal knowledge,
one of= these unlicensed salesmen entered a

Foreign Commerce of Philadelphia.
The accurate account given in Tuts Fazes
yesterday, by Mr. &ODOR; Secretary of the
Board_of Trade, of the capaeltieteof the port
and badlalr of Phlladelphitives contrasted with
those - orether leading Contetereial alike, de
serves general attention. It fully demonstrates
that in the depth,af water at our wharves, we
surpass all otter - important seaports, and in
regard to the 'obstructions of bars, no practical
objection can be urged against Philadelphia
which does not apply with equal force to Now
yorleand Boston. Thus Nature has bounti-
I .
flatly supplied us with great maritime ad
vantages, and the navigation of vessels of the
largest. clue upon the broad bosom of the
Delaware, is never interrupted, except by ice,
for short intervals during winters of extraor
dinary severity. Theta city thus favored, and
which also possesses groat wealth, enterprise,
and immense Internal trade, a complete and
superior system of railway communications,
should continue year alter year to obtain the
bulk of her foreign importations through a
ueigbboring and rival port, and thus make a
large annual contribution to enrich it,
I which, if expended at home, as it should be,
I would greatly enhance our growth and pros
perity, is one of the most surprising business
' anomalies of modern times. It can only be
partially accounted for in the superior facili
ties furnished by the numerous steamship lines
which ply between New York and various Eu
ropean ports. Bet the question recura--.-why
cannot lines of Philadelphia foreign steamers
also be established? We are satisfied that
under proper auspices they would prove not
only remunerative but profitable to those who
embark in such an enterprise. The line
established between here and Liverpool some
years ago originally met with liberal encour
agement, and notwithstanding the numerous
disasters of its vessels, an immense amount of
freight was shipped in them. There was
scarcely a single voyage which did not yield
a liberal return to the owners of the line. But,
unfortunately, our merchants had no sooner
become thoroughly accustomed to patronizing
it than the Crimean war broke out, and the
steamers were suddenly withdrawn to convey
troops to Sebastopol. It is not singular that
our importers were disheartened and discour
aged when they found that, In addition to the
loss of the City of Glasgow, the wreck of the
City of Philadelphia, and other calamities,
the regulation of their importations in what
were nominally Philadelphia steamers de
pended upon the uncertain changes of the
foreign policy of England, which, by en
tering into a war, as it is liable to do every
year, might deprive them of their accustomed
facilities. It was, therefore, not strange that
when, after the war was completed, an extra
number of
.vessels commenced running, and
an unusually severe winter locked up the Dela
ware, that they failed to meet the expecta
tions of the proprietors, who somewhat sud
denly withdrew them Under a fair teat,
foreign steamships to this port proved success
ful, and only unforeseen and unusual disad
vantages deprived us of them and rendered
us tributary to New York. Our pant expert:
ence, properly understood, shows that a new
line, controlled by Philadelphia capital, and
which could not be.saddenly removed by the
exigencies of any, foreign Government, would
be profitable, and not only confer a general
benefit upon our city, but a direct pecuniary
reward to the stockholders.

Letter from “Nox.9,
ICarrespondenoe of The Press.)
WASHINGTON, August 16, 1860
No paper is more looked for than The Press.
The Breckinridge 'men, especially, are very
anxious to know what Forney has to say to the
Cresson Convention. Bven Mr. Buchanan, as I
understood yesterday, does not disdain to inquire
what his former friend John thinks of the political
prospeota of Pennsylvania.
J. 8., the immaculate chief magistrate, who ab
hors to see money used in elections, and is down on
all kinds of Covode Committees, feels very Indig
nant that the oonintissionera appointed to investi
gate the demands of oertain parties against the
Paraguayan Government have not only reported
against them, but have shown that, instead of be
fog entitled to be indemnified by Paraguay, they
are indebted to that country for large advances of
money and other assistance. You recollect that in
a special message 'to Congress the President made
those fraudulent claims., one of them amounting to
$400,000, the principal cause why this Government
should send out a warlike expedition to that (emir
Congress, believing 1 , e repro - 3aistMicrmr - or - an
Buchanan to be true—its members, at the same
time, being constantly abused by the Administra
tion press fer not protecting the interests of our
eittsette abroad—actually passed a bill authorizing
the President to punish Paraguay, hoarse she
would not pay money she did not owe. A large
expedition was deepatehed, costing the country
millions of ' dollars. But you know the result,
Jtufge Derain, the commissioner, was unable to find
any cause for exercising hie power, being civilly
and courteously treated by Lopez. the President of
that small republic. It was decided upon that a
joint commission 'Mild be appointed to investigate
the claims of our citizens, the result of which in
vestigation should be binding on both parties.
This commission, composed of honest men, has
now decided. It hex been discovered that the
claims of our swindling companies are fraudulent,
without the smallest shadow of justice, and that
thligreat, powerful republic has made war upon a
small sister republic without the least cause, mere
ly upon the representations of swindlers and bum
buggers. Our State. Department, which ought to
have examined those claims, in order to Bad out
whether they are just or based upon fraud, has
proved anew its incapacity as an old-fogy insti
tution.
Mr. Buchanan, instead of inquiring into the
matter, has caused the country a lose of come five
Millions of dollare—the cost of the expedition--and
has weakened our influence abroad. For what
must other eotuatries think of us, if we make war
upon a small country on the most unjustified
principles of corruption and fraud? But the beat
of It is, that ti the old public functionary" is
down on the commission for not haying eanotioned
wrong, end compelled Paraguay to pay those frau
dulent claims—because be has declared in his mes
sage that the money ought to be paid.
Democrats usually have praised the foreign
policy of Mr. Buchanan. I wonder whether they
will do so now, after this beautiful pleas of states
mauship has come to light. Ales 1 , the old man is
to be pitied !
As to the state of our party politics I have to re
fer you to the drat verse in the Bible. There you
will find a most beautiful and true description.

After a rime*, the committee submitted their re

The preamble recites that the State Committee
by their notion of July 21 committed usurpation ,
by presenting to the Democracy candidates not

the' committee on the 9th of August, refusing to
rescind their loftier Wien, or to call a new Con

at Reading, by striking from it the napaes of two
electors; have devised a abeam unknown to our

A large and most enthuslastlo meeting of -the
friends of Douglas and Johnson was held at Brant's
Hall at eight o'clock.
Ez-Governor Foote, of Tennessee, was the
speaker. He was most cordially received.
He began by congratulating his friends that Lin
coinism in the North, and Yanoeyism in the South,
are rapidly on the decline. A Union President
will be elected by the people, or by Congress, and
whetheiDouglas or Bell, Johnson or Everett, the
Republic will be safe. His preference was strongly
for Douglas, whom he eulogized as mere decidedly
a popular favorite than any man since Andrew
Jackson. Referring to the proposed fusion of the
Douglas and Brookinridge men in Pennsylvania,
he rejoiced at the defeat of that scheme• by the ac
tion of the committee to-day: No fusion ought to
take place between the enemies of slavery agita
tion and those who would promote agitation by
new legislation, either for protection or prohibition
of slavery.
He made an elaborate defence of popular sove
reignty, and severely denounced Lined:llam and
Yanceyism an equally destructive to our country's
peace. He accused Buchanan and his adherents
with supporting the Breokioridge movement, in
order to secure the election of Lincoln, a oontin
ganoy on which Yanoey and his apoatiee aro ready
to break up the Union. Ha denounced foroibly the
prevalent corruption by Federal patronage, and
closed by urging a union of all Union men, to de
feat fanatics of the North and the South. The
speech was masterly and tee enthusiasm great.

In the House of Commons on the 21 Instant, the
Government proposition in regard to • fortifieattons
wits considered. The pending question was that a
vote of two million pounds be granted for the works
in question.
Mr. Lindsay moved an amendment that the de
fense of the country chiefly rested on the navy, and
that it was inexpedient to spend a large smut on
land fortifioatierut •
A g eneral debate ensued, in the course of which
Mr. Bright made a long and eheraoteristio speech
In denunciation of the proposed scheme, and of the
increasing burdens upon the people for warlike

Lord Palmerston earnestly appealed to the Rouse
to sanative the Government plan for the interests
of pence and the security of the country.
the amendment was rejected by a vote of 39
against 268, and the vote was agreed to.
In• the bone of Lords, on the 3d, Lord
Brougham presented a petition from the Anti
tilavery Society, praying that immediate steps be
taken to compel tipain to carry out her engage
meant for the suppression of the slave trade.
The affairs, of Syria, (re 'debated in both
Houses, and ministers ixpleined that a protocol
bad been drawn up at Paris by the ambassadors of
the great Powers, in which it was determined that,
-on the 'requisition of the Porte, a force of 12,000
troops should be sent to Syria,. half of which
would be furnished by Prance. It was provided
that their attly should not exceed six months.
Another protocol was also signed, calling upon the
Porto to carry oat its engagements with respect to
the Christians which it had entered into in 1856 ;
but it was provided that no right of intervention
should be granted on fature ocoasions.
Mr. Bright depreciated interference in the affairs
of Byria.
Lord Palmerston replied, and asserted that Tun

long speech dwelt upon the support which is given
slavery by the rhumbas In America.
A great party battle was expected in the House
of Commons on the paper duty question, and minis
ters were making great efforts to defeat the Oppo
sition, whose sole obj at was believed to be to drive
Mr. Gladstone from the Cabinet.
TEM AFFAIRS OF SYRIA
Nothing certain was known as to the state of the
nogotiatione at Paris fur intervention in Syria It
is asserted by various authorities that the points of
dissension were so marked and important that the
Conference could net grapple with them, and the
ambassadors were compelled to adjourn and refer
matters to their respective Governments. Accord
ing to a me writers there was little prospect of the
Conference reassembling, but others say that after
en exchange of communications between the vari
one Governments, another meeting will take place.
A Paris telegram of the 2d says:
" In addition to the plan of a convention in six
articles, which the Conterence drew up, the mem
h-rd of the Conference have, at the request of the
Turkish ambassador, drawn up a protocol, which
at tele moment is being submitted to the approval
of the Great Powers The protocol le for the pur
pile of precisely defining the object of the inter
vention in Syria, and sets forth that as the co-ope
ration of the Great Powers takes place by the tie
dee of the Sultan, and in concert with the Sublime
Porte, the foreign troops shall act at all times in
mem; with the Turkish forces.
"The protocol stipulates that as the Great
Powers, in giving their assistance to the Sultan, do
not seek vengeance, but merely wish to discover
the guilty parties, who are to he poniejsed, no
rigorous, measures shall be taken, except after a
common 'inquiry, in which the Porte nil jointly
aesist. The above protocol necessitates an ex•
change of communications between the Great
Powers. and causes a delay in the definitive sign.
ing of the convention."
is stated in a Paris letter to the Daily News
that the alleged cause of the breaking up of the
Conference is an unexplained split between France
end /tussle. Bessie, it fa announced, claimed the
execution of certain premises which the Emperor
had made soma time since, in pursuance of welch
toe entire Bottom question should bo raised on the
first opportunity, and, in fact, insisted that the mo

Bessie was ready to send lOU 000 men to make a
short, end of the business, but had no notion of a
restricted intervention in Syria. It did not, how
ever, suit the Etaperoe'd purpose to come Into this
scheme just now.

Another despatch gives the following summary
of the °entente of the oonvention as agreed upon et
the Conference:
The intervention will last only as long as the
Porte shall deem it advisable.
A previous agreement is necessary for the regu

Other Powers, unless the representative of the Sul

would render all intervention unnecessary.
Tt is stated that Prussia had demanded teat the

Scenes of Rowdyism and Brutality.
The Philadelphia reception to the "Champion
of America" came off yesterday afternoon, at Oa
tune's Woods. The affair was the second of a ae
ries to be continued in the leading cities of the
Union. The renowned "Boy" having hasarded
hie frontispiece, and gone through a rigid course
of diet to advance the eagle of hie country, right
fully considers that the nation owes him a debt of
gratitude, which mat not be loft for posterity to
pay. The first ovation (given at Jones' Woods,
near New York city) was a very brilliant success,
twenty-Ave thousand people being represented as
participants in it. That of yesterday was swam
ful in a lees degree; five thousand persons were
said to be within the enalosure, and thousands con
gregated on the grounds in the vioinity.
THE WOODS
Cameo's Woods was formerly the summer resi
dence of a highly respectable family, whose name is
now linked with the beer gardens and pugilistic!, dis
plays to which the grove is devoted. The old-time
mansion has been converted into a tavern and a
beer saloon. Eleventh street has bisected the
ancient ple a / a re-ground', and a great part of the
beautiful lawn is now the Beat of stables and a pas
conger railway depot. A filthy ouivort follows the
bed of what was *too a olear lucid streamlet. A
portion of thegroands now Has twenty or more feet
below the adjacent streets, and magnificent trunks
of oaks and maples rise from the embraces of a
stagnant pond.
The east section of the grove was devoted to the
Ifeenan ovation. This is dotted in every dlree
tints with beer counters and liquor booths.
Wherever a broad-boughed tree invites the visitor,
he finds scores of boor-mugs and great stacks of
pretzels. The number of these places of refresh
ment was multiplied yesterday, and outside dele
gations of peanut and lemonade vendors were
almost Innumerable. We visited the place early
in the day and found these squatters in every di
rection.
Among other noticeable features was that of a
brilliant invention, patented by a small lad, con
sisting of rows of nails, driven in a square board
For only ono cent " a pitch," any individual is
authorized to cast a ring at the natio, and if the
ring encircles a nail the small lad refunds the pen.
noy. The email lad made some pennies, and will
doubtless soon invest his Capital la a roulette table
or full thimble-rigging apparatus. Of patent " Dy
namometers," there were several in serviee. One
individual announced that Mr. Heenan had driven
upon his, and offered fil reward to any puissant
fist which could force a higher m irk than Mr.
Heenan. Of course, Mr. Heenan's point was be
yond the reach of ordinary mortals, but a great
number of Individuals nevertheless patronized the
apparatus to ascertain the preoise difference in
strength between Mr. Heenan and themselves, and
compute thereby the amount of culture necessary
to constitute them " Champions of America."
Lifting machines of all patterns were remarked,
and in imitation of the man with the " dynamom
eter," the proprietor of one asserted that Mr,
Aaron Jones "ad hexperimented with 'ls maohise
only an 'alf 'our ago," and had pronounced it a
miracle of its kind. As AeronVones was a smaller
star in the fistio firmament, this apparatus was only
moderately successful, There were also instru
ments to test the oripaolty of the lungs by blowing
in a tube connected with a sliding cistern. A num
ber of consumptive gentlemen made naa of these,
mid were invariably assured that their lungs were
beyond reproach.
But, aside trout these artful contrivances, there
was much to attract in more sensual epeculaftone.
Tumblers of lemonade, of a beautiful red color,

bottles of smoky liquor, with flaming labels, were
brought out, and a keg of ale, propped up in a

time to time admitted to this pleasant circle, who
shook Mr. neenan'a hand with symptoms of awe,
and drank bia health with modest wishes for mu.

mentarily augmented. An the up-town ratiways
did a heavy business, and Eleventh street, Above
Columbia, was ,urging with men At three o'clock
there were about five thousand within the undo
sure, and twice as many outside. There were alto
about three bundred women on the grounds. 'They
behaved as a general thing, in a decorous manner.
The major part of them came unaeoompauled by
males.
The arrangements for the day were miserably
made. Ihe boxing platform on wash the minim
fray was fought was laid upon rows of piles driven
into the turf, standing some four feet above the
surface. The platform was capable of holding
more than a hundred persons, and was *coupled
by invited guests—the " fancy" and the reporters.
Tata was enoioied by a circle of white-washed
posts. girded with strong ropes, inside of which the
" volice" were plated ea ring keepers. Tne whole
affair bore little similitude to the turf ring of
Farnborough, and the only pint in which the
" mimic fray" resembled that oiliest() locality con
slated of a total disregard of shade ; for the ring
was pitched in an open area, and the spectators
underwent a partial roasting in the full rays ofi the
arm.
To behold the pugilists conveniently, a "balcony"
had been proviaed for the "ladles" exclusively;
the latter oonsisted of three sections' of rough plank
seats, without railing, standing about fifty feet
from the platform, facing the lull rays of the after.

the whole area of the ring, the multitude stood
Shortly after four o'clook the pugilists drove into
the circle. Tao earrings contained Cusick, Price,
Macdonald, and Aaron Jones. They were greeted
with irregular chime as they mounted the plat

baronehet contenting Heenan, Ottignon, Nixon,
and Wood, drove rapidly through the erred.
Their appearance was the signal for the .most
tumultuous etteering. The ropes were broken down,
the carriage drove to the platform, Heenan
acknowledged the compliment paid him by bowing
on ail sides, and sprung out of the carriage in a
sprightly manner. He wore a brown overcoat of
light material and a lead.oolored felt hat ; but bad
taken the precaution to attire himself in his boxing
costume. His dress differed from that of the
others only in the substitution of a silk• woven
shirt, with short sleeves. He wore white leggings
and calf skin oboes. His watt was encircled with
a red-silk belt, confined with a silver clasp. He
was in excellent condition. He la the finest type
of physical perfection we have ever beheld. Nig

the disposition of the ring, and ordered the remo
val of a number of loafers who had taken teats
upon the platform, and obstructed the view of the
crowd. His handkerchief was then tied to the
ropes in imitation of the display of colors on the
field of Farnborough.
Heenan was then formally Introduced to the
spectators assembled on either side of the platform
and made graceful bows in acknowledgment of
their hearty salutations. His opponent, Professor
Ottignon. of New York, was presented immedi

Heenan now advanced from the southwest cor
ner of the nand, where he had been leaning upon
Macdonald's knee, and Ottignon at the same time
approached him from the northeast corner warily,
followed by Aaron Jones, hie second. The two pu
gilists joined hands, and the same ceremony was
performed by Cusick, Macdonald, Price, and
Jones. The seconds then retired to their respective
positions, and the prinoipals proceeded to mimic
the bight at Farnborough.
Ottignon put up his tremendous paws amid roars
of laughter. Heenan assumed a beautiful posi
tion, and began 'o play upon the offensive In a
trios, however, the obese professor rapped him
heavily in the centre of the forehead. There were
cries from the crowd of " Go it, old fatty ;" and as
Heenan, growing warm, attempted to give return
blows, he was nicely strnok in the mouth, and the
round was concluded amid cries of "Pollee!_po
lice
!"
The champion of the world tested himself on the
knee of his second, as Cusick busied himself in
wiping the perspiration from his face and neck.
The bottle was alto brought into requisition, and
Heenan protected himself from the rays of the nun
by throwing a handkerchief overbill face Tbehalf
minute being up, ones of "time, Ulna!" were
heard from all sides, and the sham pugilists again
advanced. Heenan this time =weeded no better,
for, after some feinting, Ottignon struck him
heavily, and threw him against the rope. The late
ter, however, lifted hint trom his perilous position,
as though he had been an infant.
On the third round, however, Heenan displayed
his wonderful power and agility, and completely
mastered his opponent. Ile pummelled Ottignon
severely, and was loudly applauded, and when the
professor attempted to throw bins against the rope
Heenan brought all' bin strength to bear, and
finally .euooeeded in placing that member of the
faculty in a similar position to that from which he
bad just escaped. Ottignon began to pant in a
manner indioative 'of wearied respiration, and

ter which the Ron Edward Ring; the nominee of
the party for Congress in the Ifinit district, was
introduced, who spoke for more than an hoer, from
written notes, prepared previously.
He said that many years ago he had left the

foreign lands, and bis observation had eoevinsed

man If it should he asked why he entered the
i contest, he would rept, that his first duty was to
his country, and, in its present distracted condi
tion, ho considtred it his duty to come to Its rap
port.
It was not the craving for place that impelled
him to become a candidate for Congress. Donors
he had had in abundance. Twice he bad been
looted a Presidential elector from the First dis
trict, and had oast his vote for General Jackson
for President. The principles he advocated then
he adhered to new, and he would not swerve from
them for a dozen seats to Congress. [Cheers, and

old district of Southwark, and he felt that hii foot

He said he woad avoid all detraction of opposing

for the principles he Advocated.
Begging the indulgence of his beaten for the al
