itarices, to 'lend any more money to Austria.
Should - the Empire break up, which le proba
ble', enough, the *great money-lenders may
have to whistle for their debt.
Between 1848 and 1868 Austria paid in taxa
tion 800,000,000 florins, (that is, about $400,-
000,000,) more thie it did in the ten years
between 1888 and 1848. Besides, the national
debt of Austria, notwithstanding this vat ex
seas •expenditure, Is, 1,806,000,000 florins
($660,000,000) more than it was in 1848, and
State, dotimins (including railroads) to the
amount of $60,000,000 were sold within the
flame period. 'At present, supposing that
GAILIBALDI does not attack Venetia or Dalma
tia; and that Hungary does not rise in rebel
lion—and it needs but the signal from KOSSUTH
to do it—the deficit in the Austrian revenue
1661 'is calculated at $19;600,000, and at
$12,500,000 in the following year. To mend
matters,_it turns out, according to the official
report of the Exchequer Committee of Aus
tria, frommtileh we glean these statistics, that
the'• extraordinary war contribution, which
amounts to 82,000,000 florins ($16,000,000),
.figures as part of, the. revenue in the Budget
for 1861, but the tax is so exceedingly onerous
that it cannot long be levied.
The Austrian prospect for the Mare, even
df peace be preserved—about the most doubt
ful contingency in' the world—is dark indeed.
The Committee% of opinion that the Govern
ment cannot, for the time being, calculate on
any increase in the revenue, as a great part of
the population of the Empire is impoverished.
As no further retrenchments can at present be
made in the different ministries, the only way
of diminishing the burden which weighs so
heavily on' the State is, « to reduce the in
terest on the National Debt by means of finan
cial operations based on this principles of free,
will (freittilligked) and inviolability of the,
obligations which have been entered into by
the State." The Report concludes with the
remark that a satisfactory arrangement of
the internal affairs of the empire, and the
consequent reiteration of confidence, will do
'much towards the restoration of the mutton
credit' of Austria, ic for it must be acknow
ledged," says the Committee, gi that the pre
sent organization of the empire has shaken
'rather than strengthened the confidence of the
public in its stability."
The excess of paper currency in Austria
causes the prices of, the necessaries of life to
rise. In this country, at one period, as in
France with the paper assignati of the Reign
of Terror, Continental paper money was of
ihr less vidtte than specie. In Austria, though
bank-notes - and silver are of the same nominal

430, when in Philadelphia attention is called to
cases of municipal miseianagement or corrap
lion;we feel that we are' far surpassed by some
of the ruling spirits of New York city, and when
our State Legislature commits any particularly
'flagrant outrage, we have, at least the sat's
faction of knowing that it will etill_be eclipsed
by the Legislature of NeW Yolk. She always
has a ',it thief as good," or a little better than
any specimen the soil , of Pennsylvania can
produce.' The latest example of bungling
'New York legislation, is presented in the
modification of her laws for the punishment of
murder in the first degree, Which have been so
amended that it is doubtful whether any legal
pinistaitent whatever On now be inflicted for
this most horrible of crimes. The Grand Jury
,of New York city, on the Nth of October, re
ported that: "Agreeably to the charge of
the court, the Grand Jury have examined the
law enacted by the last Legislature on the
subject of the death penalty, and they. deem it
'their duty to invite public attention to the de
fective and ambiguous phraseology of that act.
It is -so imperfect as to give rise to grave
doubts in the minds of judges of our highest
'courts, whether, 'under its provisions, any
punishment whatever can be legally inflicted in
this State for the crime of murder in the first
degree. It is obviously the intent el the act
to define the mode of punishment for mur
der, but in the carelessness of 'hasty legisla
tion,the definition is implied rather than ex
pressed, and it is of the utmost importance to
the interests of society that at the earliest
practicable moment the law should be revised
and its meaning clearly set forth."
It is scarcely possible to conceive of amore
dingerons and culpable piece of neglect on the
part of legislators than that which is hero of
ficially alluded to. The first duty of a go
vernment is to provide for the security of its
citizens, and when it fails to authorize the
punislunentofmurderers,even through neglect,
naives the most dangerous and startling evi
dence of its incompetency.

Mr. Feuroir, agent for the Associated Press,
has obliged us with the London Times of Octo.
ber 8, received by the steamer New York. We
learn from it that the Papal Government had
relinquished the idea of defending the pro
vinces of Frosinone and Volletri against the
Sardinians, should they pass through them en
route to Naples. This would leave Oivita
Vecchia as the Only, province in which the
Pope would make a stand. General Goren
had hoisted the French flag at a distance o
five miles from Rome. The Revolution was
at the very gates of the Eternal City, but the
Pope was resolved not to fly. The King of
Sardinia was pressing Gann:taint to annex
Sicily and Naples to Sardinia without delay.

A Strange Compliment.
A correspondence from Perth, Hungary,
tell us that during his recent official tour
through Hungary, General Bendek, 'the im
perial Governor, had a good °Octillion to see
unmistakable signs of the spirit reigning in
that country. Having arrived at Nagy-
Roerbes, and visited the public institutions of
that city, he invited a certain number of per
sons to dinner. When the dessert came on,
one of those guests, giving him an ancient

those which were used, by the famous Black

,Wesuittetroat, Ootober 17,1800
I have made diligent inquiries respecting proba
ble dieturbanies in the South, in the event of Mr.
Lincoln's election to the Presidency, and I am
convinced that if the monster of Secession attempts
to creep out into the open daylight, short work will
be made of hint by the conservative men belonging
as well to the Bell-Everett party as to the regular
Democracy supporting Mr. Douglas. Ex. Governor
Wiokliffe and Hon. Pierre &nib, of Louisiana, and
others who have formerly ranked with the fire
eaters, now boldly declare upon the stump, that as
the Dieunionista, under the banner of Mr. Breekin
ridge, have broken up the Demooratio party by
their action at Charleston and Baltimore, and sines
they thereby have largely helped, if they have not
certainly secured the triumph of the Republican
party, so they must not be permitted to shrink from
the responsibility they have brought upon them
selves, and that as they have elevated Lincoln
to the position of Chief Magistrate, en they must
abide hie administration while it keeps within the
clear letter of the law. Secretary Cobb, whose
conversion to the Secs/don faith dates only to his
appointment es a member of Mr. Buohartan's Ca
binet, it is true, holds out to the confraternity in
South Carolina and Alabama that Georgia will join
in whatever scheme of madness they may project;
but the news received here from influential
in the Empire State of the South affords no
foundation for the effectiveness of his ready offer.
It is confidently predicted that in 1860, all in
1850, Georgia will frown down, with remorseless.
contempt, all direct and covert attempts at dis
union. Senator Toombs has felt the public ,palse
of his State, and when asked who was to head
a rebellion in came of Lincoln's election, rather
despondingly replied that he would if he could
get anything like a respectable number to follow
him. I. am informed by, a gentleman this day
arrived from New Orleans, that wherever he has
been in the Southern Btateo, there is a fixed deter-
ruination on the part of those who oppose the
Breokinridgers to racist, at every hazard, any open
act of disloyalty to the Thibm. South Carolina
may proclaim that she will join herself to Ala
bama if the latter take steps toward secession, but
as there is between those two States the vast
stretch of territory within' the , limits of Georgia,
and inhabited by order. loving citizen's, it is fair to
prelim that so impossible an undertaking will
remain unaccomplished. And It is pertinent
to state that upon the broad trouper of
Pennsylvania avenue, during the present
delightful sunshiny weather may be seen
clerks from South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
and other Southern States, and although they en
tertain sentiments of the most combustible texture;
and, like gunpowder, have only to be touched to go
off with a plaits and a flash, yet they do not seem
tole racked with any horrors of impending civil
strife,
nor, indeed, can the closest scrutiny detect
upon their hate the faintest show of revolutionary
cockades., hey good•humoredly admit that there
is now no hope of Lincoln's defeat, and, contrary
to general belief, do not permit any thought of
serried hest/ fortifying the approaches to the capi
tal to prevent hie inauguration, to interfere with
the smiling complacency of their otiuou GUM ..4tg
tiztatc. They still are of the United States, lind
with no reluctant hand take their monthly pay
from the collate of UnolefirMo.
The Southern extremists are on a sore dilemma,
and it will require 'all of their ingenuity to get
them out of it. They =St do something, having
roared so loudly in the index. I have no doubt as
Southern Convention will be held, fashioned after
the Southern commercial 'Conventions of year.
past, and that delegates will be regularly ao
credited to it from one or two States, and that
volunteer delegates will represent the residue.
There will be speeches of much fire and great
length thundered forth to applauding audiences,
by Yancey, and Spratt, and Rhett, and other agi
tators, and resolutions will be passed, with con
siderable flourish, that if the North does this, that,
and the other thing, which no sane man can ever
be expected to do, then—Heaven knows what !
Notwithstanding reports have not been made
from the several Departments of the Government,
the President is daily and hourly drilling the sen
tences of his last annual nieesage to the two Houser
of Congress. lam led to believe that it will be an
elaborate defence of his Administration, intended
not so much for this generation as for posterity.
The Constitution provides that "he shall, from
time to time, give to the Congress information of
the state of the Union, and recommend to their
, consideration each measures as he shall judge no.
atom , and expedient." It will be interesting to
learn what recommendation he will make with re
-1 speed to the tariff bill, from the House, now before
the Senate; what medicine he will prescribe for
the treasury, now emaciated to a skeleton upon
the meagre food of the present revenue ; what of
his foreign and of his home policy, ho. I, may
give you points on these topics hereafter.
It is amusing to notice the applications that
come from Republican politicians for Blue Brooke,
containing full and accurate information of the
patronage within the control of the President and
hie Cabinet officers. if the early bird catches the
worm, these cannot be denied because of laggard
ness. It will be unpleasant news to aspirants for
office under Lincoln to be informed that not a
single copy can be had of the Blue Book except by
the payment of $3.80 at the bookstores, of Wash
ington, and that there are bat very few copies to
be had at that price. Tbie expense may be saved,
however, by consulting the copy in possession of
each member of Congress. OCCABIONXI.:

letter from the venerable friend of Andrew Jack
son, Hon. Amos Kendall, which it publishes, to
use its own words, "as en act of courtesy." The
letter is sharp, pointed, and patriotic. Speaking
of the dirty attacks made upon him by that pa
per, Mr. Kendall says "Itis a higher aim then
self.defencie or self.diatinoUon which' induces me'
to resume my pen. * * Sir, it is a cad sight to
see the organ of a Democratic Administration at
tempting to establish the doctrine that it would
in any event be a crime in the President to de
fend the Constitution and enforce the laws of the
United States constitutionally enacted. Disguise
it as you will, your doctrine amounts to thin
and nothing less. Already the peculiar organ of
nullification in the South is recommending aeries
eion while Mr. Buchanan is still in office, upon
the assumption that he may not enforce the laws
and defend the Constitution, whiob, by his official
oath, ho is bound to do. Doubtless, the assump-
Con is unwarranted, though justified by the tone
of his aoknowledged organ."
Speaking of the personal warfare made by the
Constitution and the President upon the friends
of Judge Douglas, Mr. Kendall rays :
" In cot:minden, I implore you, and those who
act with you, to abandon your denunciations of
men with whom you must ultimately act in pre
serving the Constitution and the State institutions,
if they are to be preserved at all. Do not further
verify the old maxim that' Whom God intends to
destroy he if nit makes mad.' * * Ia the
newfangled dogma on which the Charleston Con
vention split, or any theoretioal claim to a right of
seeeelion, of more importance than the preser
vation of the Union, the Constitution, the peace,
the happiness, the prosperity, and the glory of our
common country, hitherto unequalled by those of
any other people on the face of the earth? 4 in 14
Any man who thinks this Union can be Deaoefully
broken up, er, If it could, that peace could always
be maintained between its fragmoi ta, abuts his
eyes to the events of our own ago, and Is deaf to
the lessons of history."
Governor Conway's (of Arkansas) assertion, that
millions of British gold are now In the hands of
Southern and Northern agitators, has created a
great deal of surprise in this city. That Great
Britain hates this Union, and would hail a disso
lution of the same with pleasure, as it would
enable her to import her iron and other manu
factures free of duty into the Southern States, is
well known. Without the Union we are nothing.

Our people are still talking about the late ball
to the Prince, with its ostentatious magnificence
and its failure. Young New York is in a sneer,
and laughs consumedly at the sexagenarian
dancing masters who controlled the affair. Inthis
they are joined by the newspapers, the Herald and
Times both being saroastio over the "Beau Nash

verently denominated. It promises to be the staple
of the season's jokes.

with a pistol, Is pronounoed convalescent. Her
recovery is most remarkable, considering the na
ture of the wound, and gre at credit is due to her
mediae! attendants, Dm Burdick and Carnochen,
for their unremitting attentions in her behalf. Jo
sephine, I am happy to state. hoe got over her
foolish fano) , for committing suicide, and says she
will never attempt to do away with her life again.
She seems in pretty good spirits now, and, judging
from her appearance, one would suppose that She
would be the last person in the world to court a
suicide's grave. With the kind friends she has
around her, the future should be bright and her
life contented and pleasant. On Friday last, Miss
L. sat up for the first time since her illness.
Ever since then she has continued to improve in
the most wonderful manner, and now ehe may
be looked upon as entirely recovered from danger.
The parties charged with a oonspiraoy to de
fraud several of the marine insurance companies

amination before Justice .Connolly. The allege.
lion against the defendants is, that they chartered
the vessel, filled her with geode of comparatively
little value, and then obtained petioles of thso
ranee, through false bills of lading, to the amount
of s6o,ooo—the object being to sink the vessel and
obtain the insurance money.

Sufferings of the People of Kansas.
• WAererttifori, D. C., October 16,1860.
To Jamul Humour; ,
President nt the United Stated:
, Bra : Having just returned from the Territory of
Kansas, where I have been an eyewitness to the
deplorable and starving condition of that soorched
and famineatrioken land, I some to implore of the
Exeoutive, as an act of clemenoy in behalf of its
suffering inhabitants, that all Government lands
noWoffered for sale in that Territory may be with
held from market, and more espeoially those lands
embraced in what is known as the New York In
dian Reserve (proolaination No: 667.)
You need be informed, sir, of but half the deso
lations and heart-rending seines '1 have witnessed
among that heroio and industrious, but unfortu-,
nate people, to' arouse your utmost sympathies. ,
Thousands of once thrifty and prosperous Ame
rican citizens are now perishing of want. Winter
is upon them ; of clothing they are nearly bereft;
food they have r not to last them through the cold
season that is approaching. Of over a hundred
thousand people n upon Kansas soil six months
ago, at least one-fourth or one-third have loft ; of
the remainder it is safe to say that forty thousand
at this moment see nothing but exodus or starva
tion at the end of the sixty days now just before
them' from ten to twenty thousand look with only
despairing eyes upon November ; thousands cannot
subsist a month longer unaided; other thousands
are living upon the little whioh their neighbors
prive themselves of to give to them—neighbors
equally unfortunate, and with whom the starva
tion is merely a questiOn of but a few days longer;
while still other thousands, if not at once relieved,
must perish from banger, or the diseases that fel
low in its train. Some have already died, others
are daily dying ; while the hours grow darker,
and the days wax longer, forthe living to whom
, relief comes not, and whose eyes are aching with
wstohinge for the swear that delays
WILL confirmation of these frightful statements, I
refer your Excellency to the acoompanying:extraots
from my diary while in Kansas recently, and from
numerous letterb lent to moirom various iiistriets
of the famine land.
Had the Wood of this poor people, in 1800, been
as valuable for coinage into votes ft Wee in 1856,
your Department would have king since been made
aware of their Miseries, and it would not have re
mained for the ,diseharge, of a mere 'moohanical
duty to have brought to your notice the sickening
fact that the mere performance, of the deity was in
its terrible irorkittge a practical cruelty, such as
no despotism on earth would intentionally be guilty
of, and snob as; being ono° brought to thenotice of
your Department, it cannot but rejoin to have es

sale?
By tarnishing these data, and more especially by
your favorable consideration of the atmompanying

On the 15th of September, Lieut. Beale, accom
paniesi-by Fred Beaton, arrived at Fort htagare,
on the Colorado. Fifty days were occupied In
reaching that point from Westport, Mo. The
party were all well. All along the route, from
about one hundred and twenty miles of the place
of starting, the Indians were hostile, and the
Lieutenant was strongly advised not to make the
experiment, but he reached his destination with
out the lees of a man or an animal. lie had four
teen men, forty head of cattle, and two wagons.
Lieutenant • Beal o reports the road in good con•
dition, but owing to the determined hostility of the
Indians, ha would not encourag e emigrants to go
that way, as their stook would - be in danger. As
soon as proteotion is afforded by the Government,
the route may bo traversed with advantage'.
It was reported at Los Angeles that the Indiana
had attacked the store-house of the settlers at Fort
Defiance, and held possession of the poet for six
hours, in the face of four companies of United
States troops.
Operations were about to commence at the tin
mints: 'Large puiottases of stook in• tho various
leads had been made by Colonel Frotnont and
others, who have the utmost oontldence in the m
eow of the enterprise.

Remain Lujeane at Musical Fund Hall,
EISG - RA.O EV CI, SCENES.
He Argues the Abblition of the High School
We gave our ideas yesterday of the individual
whose name we have 'sited, ex-professor in the
Central Rile School. 'We had no antipathy to Mr.
Lojeane, and but reiterated the sentiment of nu
merous informants, and all parties cognizant with
the details of his nigh Wheel career.
Lass evening this gentleman figured in a strange
scene at Musioal Fund Ilan, mournful alike to
!Genie of the High School and hie Own pest credit.
lie was Announced as the deliverer of, a lecture
upon " Popery " and " Conspiracies " in that in
stitution. Had he confined himself to' the topics
in question his assertions might have been substan
tiated, but he made an indlsoriminate assault upon
a majority of the Board of Control, the High
School Committee, the Faculty, and several pri
vate gentlemen in ne manner eenneated with the
legitimate arguments of the case. The audience
consisted of one hundred and nine persons—to wit :
forty-five men four females, and one hundred and
nine bap,. chiefly pupils of the High School, and
in the lower, divisions. The letter portion of the
audience conducted themselves in a most disgrac:,
fel Manner, whistling, stamping, and yelling.
They openly insulted most of the gentlemen in the
room, and greeted the frequent mention of names
of estimable and aged gentlemen connected with
the RIO School faculty with hisses and oontereptu
cue shrieks. We have seldom witnessed scenes of
such barefaced insolence and,disorder. There was
no reverence, on behelf of the urchins in question,
.far either a uthority or age to all colleges, their
behavior wuold have entitled them to immediate
expulsion
The lecturer, whose position we regard rather
as the effect of an erratic than a sober impulse,
appeared to be about thirty years of age.' He has
a pair of small black eyes, a good forehead,
straight black hair, and an abundance of mous.
taohe and whiskers. , lie fs short and handsomely
built, and speaks broken English with fluency and
vigor. We cannot give publicity to a greater por
tion of the 'arguments he advanced, et we have
no authority for their validity beyond his own
assertion. They were grave charges against gen
tlemen of trust and years, frequently irreverent
and generally harsh. Most of . those detail private
and eonfidentuil affairs, passing between the ex-
Professor and his alleged enemies, of which the
publlo have no right to be Informed. There - were
three controllers preeent—blesers. Butem, MaGelia,
and J. B Smith. Two of these voted for the die•
missal of Profaner Lojeane. An ex-controller
was also present, and two grammar-school prin
cipals. The l ecturer commenced by etetiog
that, seven months ago, he intended 'to " em
brace into business life," but was prevented
I by the friendship and plea of the principal of the
Khoo" Mr. Ilomphill also begged him to with
draw his resignation, and visited his wife to ask
her influence to persuade him to withdraw it.
[Hisses.] A man whose name is an insult bad
asked "who was Remain Lujeane?" The ex-
Professor proceeded to state his claims. Re was
recommended by men of intelligence as a gentle
man and a scholar. Snob words were pnbliehed
in the City Tan, of which Fitzgerald was editor,
and who charged Lojeane $2 50 for its insertion in
his paper. One hundred 'of his pupils were pre
p sent. If he had been a terror to hie boys, would
I that number have been present? The daily Press
had said that Lujeane stepped forward in tee
Board of Control and said that his aheraater was
better than Fitzgerald's. "Indeed," said tho
Professor, I never dreamed that my character
was so infamous as his." This country was one
of liberty, and when Lujeane applied foi the
German profenorehip, he did not ask himself
I whether be was an Italian or a German. [Ap
plause.]
It was also said that Lujeane had been elected
by the Young Men's Christian Association
[Groans and applause ] That wee not so. [Great
applause.] The lecturer here eulogized Geo. IL
Stuart, Eeq., and road testimonials to hie character
from Geo. R. Jones, Rev. Dr. Newton, Interpreter
Davis, and others.
These testimonials were written before Professor
Lujeane was elected. They were successively
greeted by loud cries of "That's enough," etc,.
Protestor Lojeane said that be also expected to
be examined, but the Committee on Bigh School
did not speak Dutch. [Derisive ehouteirava nigh
School boys. Mr. Lujeane then mentioned the
name of a gentleman connected with the faculty,
which was hailed with three groans. The chair
man of the nigh School Committee bad told the
speaker that the successful candidate must eat the
greatest number of pretzels and drink most beer.
[Tremendous laughter and faint cheers.]
Mr. Lojeane then reviewed the vote by which he
was elected. [Cries of "Oh !" and great stamping
of feet.) The gentleman foremost in putting him
out (Mr. Leech) had expressed hie regret that ho
did not vote for Lujeane. [The nigh School boys
here began' to throw peas.]
The German profeseership had been reetored to
get German votes, and it would be abolished again
after the election. [Great laughter.]
Mr. Lujeane here went into a long exposition of
some private details, in very bad English wherein
he mentioned such phrases as " dirty trick" and
"miserable men." Several gentlemen's names
and aotione were mentioned with much freedom
provoking frequent laughter. The name of Prof.
Maguire exalted load applause.
Lujeane here went into a number of pirate de
tails 01164 relative to religions questions, in
which " Popery," eta., wetermentioned. We can
not take up our columns with such gossip. The
High School boys grew very noisy, and shouted
vociferous " Ohs Lejenne then said thnt he
was formerly a Democrat, and reverted, in hie
singular way, to a reeesertion of the feet that he
WAS the best teacher of German in the oily.
He read ,from the Controller's report of April
lest, in which he was mentioned as a capable end
enterprising man, "Applause. I .
ladr. Hamm's name being mentioned, some
urchin called out, "Old Bumm " and "Bum
mer."]
Lujeane then said that Maguire's %slink against
him came from his adherence to Henry, instead of
Robbins. Lujeane then said that he was a Poo
pie's party man. [lmmense applause.]
Some statements of private confidence were then
detailed, whieb were interrupted by coughs, excla
mations, ,to. Bo was obliged to beckon silence
with his hands.
The armature of Messrs. Hollingsworth, Richey,
Loral, Ac., were severely handled, and he alluded
to several professors in an irreverential way.
The lecture concluded at half past nine o °leek,
with en immediate turning off of gee, and mingled
cheers and groans.
Serenade to Governor Curtin.
ITS 18 TOO ILL TO SPEAK.
Last evening the friends of Andrew G. Curtin,
the Governor-elect of the State of Pennsylvania,
assembled in largo numbers In front of the Girard
House, for the purpose of serenading him. Miss
'eel; band was engaged, and opened with "h ail
to the Chief," which was given in flue style. After
this the band performed several other airs. There
was considerable delay, and the crowd became im
patient. The cause of the delay was the illness of
Governor Curtin, who was confined to his bed. In
response to repeated shouts, Mr. Charles Neal op
peered on the balcony and introduced S. Newton
Pettis, of Crawford county, Pa. Ile said :
Re came from a county in the old 'Keystone
State which, but a few years ago, gave a Demo
cratic majority of about 950, but which, on the
ninth of October. rolled up a majority of 2,099 for
Andrew G. Outdo. rCheera.l The residents of
that county were a reading and reflecting people,
andhad been reared and educated in the genuine
school of Jefferaonian Demeoraoy. It was with
mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that he
appeared, for the first time, before an assemblage
of citizens of Philadelphia—of regret because it
was his duty to apologize for the absence of their
gallant stanuard-bearer, Andrew G. Curtin, and
of pleasure that he was enabled, in that way, to
nerve a friend who was devoted to Pennsylvania
and to Pennsylvania's interests.
lie had boon requested by Mr. Curtin to say,
that, from indisposition on his part, ho was un
able to be present to greet therm It was painful
to him, from the fact that he desired an opportu
nity of returning his heartfelt thanks to tho citi
zone of Philadelphia, more than any other of
this great Commonwealth, for the support
that ho had reeolVed from the limo that
he was first placed in nomination to the rue
want which resulted in his triumphant election,
anti the vindication of his principles Ile desired
it, inasmuch as his time would Ma taken from them
until the November election, at other points, and
he had, therefore, hoped to have been able to ten
der to them personally hie thanks for the support
ho hod received at their hands.
The speaker then again reverted to the politics of
Crawford county, and maintained that the change
in the majority of that district was the work of 31r.
Buchanan and his corrupt Administration, lie
concluded amid great applause.
Loud cries were made for Judge Kelley, and
that gentleman not being present, Joseph It. PM
nlgen was introduced to the assemblage.
Mr. Flenigen said he repeated with extreme re
gret the announcement of Mr. Pettis, that their
gallant standard-bearer, Andrew G. Curtin, woe
" to-night upon his bask, inhis bed." Ile thanked
God, however, that this affliotion had not come
upon him until he had gone through the State, nod
" carried the banner of the People's party from
the Shores of the Delaware to Lake Brie."
2he groat principle of protection to American
industry was involved in the present contest. The
American, Whig, and People's party had contend
ed for that principle for years past against the
corrupt organization which was known in this
country as the Locofoco party. Ito compared the
latter to the Jacobin party, which caused the
streets of Paris to run with blood. In 1350,
the city of Philadelphia was placed under the
ruin of the same Jacobin party, with Richard
Vaux as Mayor, and, while the people supposed
they were protected by policemen with stars
upon their breasts, they were " surrounded
by a set of thieves " Ile continued at
length to denounce the administration of Mayor
Vaux, and closed with an appeal to his hearers to
rally with renewed energy for the contest in No
camber, when their efforts would bo crowned by
placing in the Presidential chair " Honest OM
Abe," the rail•splittor of Illinois.
William M. Bull. Eeq , next spoke and con
gratulated his hearers upon the great triumph
the party bad achieved in the election of Curtin,
w hich was the forerunner of the election of Lin
coln to the Presideney. Be urged them not to
relax in their efforts, but to go to the polls on the
tith of November, and do their beat to elect Old
Abe, and, if necessary, they would match to Wash
ington on the 4th of March to see him inaugu
rated. (Cheers j
Mr. Albright, of Carbon county, made a short
address, depleting the joy felt in his county when
the returns from Philadelphia were feceived.
They expected that Poster would have got 10 000
majority in Philadelphia county, but when they
learned it was only 2,000 their joy was unbounded.
After this gentleman had concluded, there were
loud cries for Kelley," "Mann," and other speak
ers, and the crowd seemed unwilling to separate,
but as 12 o'clock drew near they adjourned, with
cheers for Curtin and Lincoln.
MR. JOHN E. FOSTSR, the late clerk of
Coroner Fenner, will be retained by (bb coroner'
eleot, Mr. Conrad. Vlore trill be a mutual benefit
in thia retention.
THE FlOl/.1.1 BISDRIAL COLLEGB—Opp.
LECTUR.ffi BY Di. RICYWELL COATZB--ENCOII.
RAGING Itaimrs.--The question of the medical
education of women bee been agitated of late, and
most readers are cognisant of the foot that orta
have been, made to establish upon a regular *olio
glate basis a female medical institution. Pennsyl
vania was the first State in the Union to inaugu
rate the medioal education of women, by the char
tains of the Female Medical College of this oily,
in IMO.
_ .
Yesterday the eleventh annual session was com
menced by a lecture from Dr. Eeynell Coates, Pro
fessor of forgery. The college building stands
back from Arab street, below Seventh: It boo the
appearance of enterprise under difficulties, being
apparently altered for its present purposes from a
factory or ohnroh. Through a door on Arch street,
a pathway of plank leade through an archway and
yard, whence we mounted to the second story, and
were ushered into a commodious room, of rather
low ceiling, fitted up for ohimioal lecturer.
The sante wore arranged like those of all labera
tones, in a tier, the highest of which approximated
uncomfortably toward the ceiling. An audience,
chiefly of females, comprising about fifty persons,
comfortably filled the room, and the Doctor read
his lecture from the reflected light of two gas jets.
The adjacent wall was covered with chemical elm.
moots, symbols and equivalents, printed in stencil,
and most of the fa:catty congregated on the forward
bench. The seats were of plain hard wood, very
straight in the backs, and consequently very soft
and comfortable
We mention these little ineldenta from a fore
shadowing of the future importance of this medical
college and a cognizance that its dawn of small
things is to yield under the resolute industry of its
corporators and managers, to a day of usefulness
and pride. The other apartments, fitted up with
the same economy, comprise a dissecting room, a
museum, another lecture room, and several smal
ler Apartments. The corporators are gentlemen
of wealth and influence; the managers, ladies of
talent and perseverance, and the faculty comprises,
in every department, gentlemen of known attain
ment and excellence. Two professors are females,
Mrs. Cleveland and Preston. The former is now
absent in Europe; engaged in studying the arrange
ment of the Continental hospitals, with a view to
opening a hospital for women in this city, females
being debarred from attendance at our public hos
pital clinics. Thirty-three thousand dollars, we
believe, have been already subscribed; another
year will probably witness the completion of the
new auxiliary to woman's medical education.
The college has at present, ample means of im
parting thorough ' scientific instruction on most of
the branches of medicine, the lectures and de
monstrations being aided by en excellent =seam
of papier-mache models, drawings, natural prep '-
rations, mieroseepes ' and other apparatus.
The enecesses of the institution have not been
thus far commensurate with the labors of the
faculty. Last year but one female graduated ; in
previous years there have been as many as six.
The lecture of Dr. Coates. yesterday, was plain,
perspicuous, and
. pointed.
lie dimmed mile beginning the adage that
women's sphere was home, and adverted to the
opposition which greeted the inception of the col
lege. It wee said that the avocations of a general
practitioner would lead her into Improper expo
sure, and subdue her native delicacy; that the
depths of science are too intricate for her pene
tration; that lii her timid hands the surgeon's
knife is unsafe ; and, finally, that the heart of the
mother and wife would be unnaturally hardened
by the practice of surgery.
The lecturer proceeded to combat these and
other objections. Dr. Rash had maintained that
.empirioism and medical imposition could be ar
rested only by the universal teaohing of ',correct
medical doctrines. In 1820 several ladies were
students of obstetries in the Pennsylvania Hospital,
regular attendants at lectures upon anatomy,
materia medics, and pharmacy. They received
oertificates 'of proficiency as,ntiraes, with the un
derstanding that they could practice regularly
when necessary. Miss Nightingale was referred
to as the author ea medical work, a treatise upon
nurszng. She had mingled in the bivouac , with
powder-grimed soldiers, and yet remained with
her delicacy and purity intatit.
The present hostility to woman's professional
medical education was not very extensive, and the
lecturer contended not with its dignity % but its
login. The city nurse was often exposed in the
darkness and night, net less frequently than the
female practitioner. There had been no com
plaint on the former bead.
Most of the female medic'sl pupils would study
specialities; many would he wives of physicians
and pharmaceutists, who-would- study the branch
of obstetrics; others, the wives of manufacturers,
planters, etc.. residing at a distanoe from medical
aid; others, the teachers of youth. " This age,"
said the ector, " would have been happier had
snob institutions been of earlier date."i The Doc-
tor also combatted the idea that there was an in.
delleaoy in the studies of anatomy and physiology.
He cited the names of Mesdames Boom tied Ls
ohapelle, to show that woman was not nerveless
with the surgeon's knife. In all the minor du
ties of surgery. and in manipulations that do not
require the knife, the gentle band of an edudated
female was preferable to that of man.
The regular graduation would not actually ex
tend the competition of incompetence or lessen
the dignity of the diploma. The boasted diploma,
of late deo wee degraded into a mere certificate
of study, valued only from the" source and ap
peoded names.
The attempt to refuse professional fellowship to
female physicians was indicative rather of Jack of
courtesy than of an excess of self-respect.
Dr. Coates then addressed the pupils and the
audience. The medical opposition to the institu
tion was sharply satirized, and the warmest ex
precisions of encouragement and resolution ex
pressed.
THE Pi NROSE FERRY BRIDGE.—Tho citi
zens of the southern portion of the Twenty-fourth
ward and the lower portion of the First ward are
strongly urging .npon Counoili the propriety of
pure/lasing this bridge, and making it free for the
public , . The bridge is a great convenience to this
section of country, but the citizens consider it a
hardship to be compelled •to pay tell, as it is not
demanded for crossing any other bridge over the
Schuylkill in this county. • Councils, in the early
part of the present year, appropriated $lO,OO/0 for
the purchase of piers and approaches fur the bridge
at the Falls of fie/my/kill, and afterwards $25,000
more to rebuild it. The wants of the citizens
of that locality demanded' this expenditure.
The citizens of the lower districts consider their
wants entitled to the same respectful considera
tion from 0011D011{1 and, there Is justice in their de
mand for a free bridge at this point. A sublont
mittee of Councils bays visited the bridge, and it
is miderdood that they will repot in favor of the
prayer of the petitioners by recommending the re
quired appropriation for its purchase. This matter
interests not only those residing in the immediate
locality, but citizens generally, as a drive through
the Neck, and over into the Twenty fourth ward,
and thence by the Darby road to the Afarket-street
or Wire bridge, forms a great attraction during
the spring, summer, and autumn menthe
TEE PARADE squaring of
thin lot of ground, in the roar of Moyamenaing
Prison, has been commenced, the fence on the
northern aide having been removed, and placed on
a line with Wharton street, which will be the
northern boundary of the equate. 'The Commis
eioner of City Property, Mr. Christopher, has
caused a large quantity of dirt to be placed on the
ground, for the purpose of raising the sunken
parte. A great portion of the square has been
levelled, and the improvement made thus far is
very great. An obstacle still exists In regard to
squaring the lot. The mond jury appointed to
lumen the damages to the property- ownera adjacent
to the square have concluded that duty, anti their
award is satisfactory to the property-owners.
From some cause, the matter has remained a
considerable length of time in Judge Allison a
hands, waiting his approval. As soon as this is
obtained, the squaring will be completed, and the
permanent improvement of the lot commenced.
The oity will have to purchase about the same
quantity of ground as will be left for sale by the
aquaria g process ; ST no loss will accrue in this
way. The ground the city will have to sell can be
disposed of readily, as it fronts nearly the whole
northern side of the square, and is in a most desira
ble location.
PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD AT GERMANTOWN.
—The annual session of the Presbyterian Synod of
Philadelphia will commence Ibis evening in the
First Presbyterian Church of Germantown. The
opening sermon will be preached by the modera

synod is the oldest and largest in the Presbyte
rian Church of the United titates. It was organ
ized in 171'1 seventy-two years before the Organi
zation of the General Assembly; and though its
limits have been greatly abridged, by the forma

A YOUNG INCENDIARY. —Yesterday morn -
ing, Mr. Joseph Moyer, of Montgomery county,
was proceeding with a load of hay along Seventh
street, in the vicinity of Diamond, when a small
boy, eight years of age, ran out of a hifuse and set
fire to the rear portion of the load. The light ma
terial blazed up in an instant, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the horses attached to the
wagon could be saved This wee done through
the exertions of a number of men, who came-from
the surrounding brickyards to the assistance. All
the hey was destroyed. The lad who committed
the mischief wee arrested by Officer Ruth Ilia
name is.Charlea Bussinger. The youth was brought
to the Central Station, where ho was questioned by
Dire Marshal Blackburn. He said that he had
been in the habit of making bonfires, and thought
that the hay would make a nice light. lie also
mid that be ran with the machine whenever he
got a chance. Be was retained in custody for the
present, and will probably be sent to the noose of
Refuge.
A BLOOMING YOUl2.—Yesterday after
noon a young man, calling himself Dr. Henry
Bloom,
was committed by Alderman Beitier,
ehargod with pursing counterfeit $lO notes on the
Perth Amboy Bank. Bin mode of operation roes
to go to a fashionable hotel, loign to be unwell,
, and then request a servant to go to a druggist's
I with n prescription. The Doctor would give the
servant a bogus $lO note to pay for the medicine,
and, in ono or two Instances, received good ebango.
The cunning youth will probably have liberty to
bloom awhile in Illoyamonsing prison.
MARTIN FAULKNER BURNED.—On Tues•
day afternoon FOMO small boys were amusing them
selves around a bonfire, on a lot on Seventeen h
street, between Spruce and Pine, when ono of
them was either thrown or accidentally fell into
the llamas. Ile was very badly burned, and is not
expected to survive. He is only six years of age.
nl6 parents reside at No. 328 Bradford street.
RAILWAY COlinfi67oll ASSAULTED.—Un
Tuesday evening an individual, named Robert
MeFetrich, who was considerably intoxicated, got
into a passenger oar at Seventh and Pine streets.
He behaved badly and - commenced to break Ito
windows of the oar. The conductor remonstrated,
when he was turned upon and assaulted. filo-
Patriot' was arrested, and committed in default
of $l,OOO bail by Alderman Swift.
CLEANING A CHIMNEY GEEPOW
DER.—An alarm of fire was mated, between
twelve and one; o'clock yesterday afternoon, by the

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT Judge
Grier.—Girard et. eL vs. the Myer Philadelphia.
Before reported. This case ecoupfed the attention
of the court alt of yesterday's session, without the
argument being eonoinded.
The oily has died an answer, setting forth, among
other things, that the Income of the whole of the
testator's residuary estate is to be applied to the
maintenanee and enlargement of the college,
if the same is needed for such. purpoaes, and that
the 'city corporation is not entitled to apply
any part of the said income for the municipal pur
poses mentioned by the testator until the college
cl o
is fully and adequately provid for, and that so
mush of said blooms astir not n d
And need for
such purposes, the defendants It ntitled to use
for snob municipal purposes as are indicated in the
said will. From the time of the completion of the
college the whole/of the net introits, from the rest•
duary estate, including therein all the net income
of the real estate held, by the defendants, has been
appropriated to the maintenance and endowment
of the said college and need for that purpose. And
the defendants say that whenever the twee, from
the said residuary feed will suffice for the necessi
ties of said college,_ and leave a surplus applicable
to the other trusts ddelared concerning the income
of the said residue, that they can apply mob over
plus to the cost of maintaining the police In that
part of the said city between Vine and Eouth
streets and the rivers Delaware and Schuylkill,
and reduce the rate of taxation for the support of
the police.
In regard to the value of the estate, the re
spondents say : The gross income of the residuary
estate, cooslating of all the testator's real estate
held by the defendants, and the personality, ex
cept that which has been net aside for the Dela
ware-avenue fund, and for the fundito sal ply poor
house and room keepers with fuel, was, in the
year 1857, when the largest income ever realised
for the estate was itemised, as follows :
-6154 417 53
Expenses..— ... 71.858 21
Leaving net income.- 92,633 yj
The sum expeadett fur the purposes of the col
lege for the same yea? was *95,538.59, being up
wards of $3.000 beyond the net - income or the
estate,
The defendants submit that their acquiescence or
dissent in or to the proposed measure of general
datinn the said, corporations Could nop have been
effoottve to prevent or donsurnsatte thet purpose.
The said city corporation was the creature of the
Legislature, to be destroyed or perpetuated at its
pleasure. The said corporation neither Accepted
nor repudiated its new or altered Charter; it had
no choice offered to it but to obey the will of its
master.
The defendants allege and 'submit that the act
of Aseembly of February 2,1854; entstied "Afurther
supplement to an act entitled pan act to incorpo
rate the oily of Philadelphia '
" did .not desire*
or abrogate the corporation of the mayor, alder
men, and citizens of Philadelphia." It- enlarged
the territorial boundaries of the latter corporation,
and changed its name to th at " - OUP of
Philadelphia."
The first section of the said sot provided that the
powers of the corporation of the mayor; aldermen,
and citizens of Philadelphia, at enlarged and Modi
fied by the said not, should be exercised and have
effeot :over all the territory for the drat time in
cluded within ate aorporate limits,. and over all the
inhabitants therein ; and in the math section, that
the said corporation should be vested with all the
'power, rights, privileges; and immunities of the
corporation of the mayor, aldermen, And citizens
of Philadelphia. •
And the defendants deny that it was provided
in the mid act that, upon the eleetioh, of a .mayor
and Connelly, as provided theta% the posters,
rights, privileges, and immunitied preseased and
enjoyed by the said corporation of the mayor, al
(Sermon, and citizens of Philadellstata,„should cease
and terminate , or that the same Mailed' or termi
nated upon the issue of any proclamation, or other-
Win howsoever; but they allege and say that the
powers, rights, privileges, and humanities of the
said last-named corporation were earessly con- -
tinned in fall force, vigor, and effete.
In respect - to the execution Of the said hefts, the
defendants say they are in nowise hindered or in
terfered with by the provisions br aonewittenosa or
effects of tke maid sot of February 2,4l3fist-; and
they do not admit, nor have they admitted, that
they cannot apply the said trust according to the
will of the testator.

The Billiard Champion in New York.
RIS WONDERFUL PERFORMANCEN
[From the New York Tribune of yesterday.)
The political and royal excitements of the time
have of late somewhat diminished the interest in
the romantic billiards of M. Berger; but now that
the public is assured of the election of Lincoln, and
Al. Edward hat gone away, there may be expected
a revival. The French master nightly bewilders
the senses with the wonders of his delinate skill.
By the score of the games played up to Monday
evening, inclusive, which is given below, it may
be seen that but one game has gone against bim.
Kavanagh is, perhaps, the most brilliant player in
the country, and that K. Berger should have ren•
tared to discount him argues a confide nee which
his triumph in a aubsequent game, giving odds
more than equal to a discount, fullyjast ifles. In
all the games with amateurs. (and 1107120 of the
most successful have tried their cue ) he has borne
off the palm with ease. lie is ready to discount
the game of any non-professional player.
But Barger is not satisfied with small game.
Mr. Tiernan, of Cincinnati, the Champion of the
West, arrived in New York last evening, and will
be discounted this afternoon or evening. An ex
citing match will be certain, and this will be the
prelude to a grand tournament of the leafing ar
tists of America. The arrangeme r e will be per.
footed immediately.

A D.E9PERATX FIGHT.-A correspondent of
the Petersburg (Va.) Express, writing from Gates,
N. C , gives the following account of a most brutal
and desperate fight
" A man named Jackson accused his neighbor,
Darin, of having stolen some of his hogs, nod on
last Friday evening, in walking around his farm,
he discovered three of Davis' children on hie land,
whereupon he carried one of them home with him.
The two other children returned home and told
their parents what had happened. Infuriated,
they armed themselves with gone, axes, and
knives, and soon presented themselves at Jack
son's house, where a general fight ensued, in
which both men, women, and children participa
ted: They shot until their ammunition gave out,
and then closed in with axes, knives, and gun
barrels.
"During the shooting, a son of Jackeon, a mere
boy, was killed by (it is thought) a son of Davis,
also a lad. Seven of the party were dangerously
wounded—one of the women having received a
broken arm, and, it is said, fifty buok.hol! From
all acoounta, they fought as long as they could,
and quit with mutual consent. The surviving
parties have been arrested and placed in the
county jail to await trial."
