The electors were interrogated in regard to this' proposition, and a majority of them agreed to acquiesce in it, viz : GEORGE N. Kris, F. A. Sativva, WILLIAM C. PATTERSON, JOSEPH CROORETT, J. G. BRENNER, CHARLES KELLY, o. P. James, Dam &Sirs, J. L. Lrourszn,B. S. BARRED, T. H. Werat.M4 Joerru LAUSACH3 /MAO Rsossow, J. A. AML, ,N. P. Fenpi ma*, and R. D. -Moms ; but a considerable number of them refused to do so, alleging that they felt bound to vote for DOUGLAS as the're gularmointnee, viz : RICHARD VAC.; G. W. JAWS?, GEORGR D. Logos, J. R. CRA.WYORD, WILLIAM Boos, S. S. WINCHESTER, J.B. DAN %Xi, 3. B. H owxna, , and GAYLORD CHURCH. ORO of.the electors, H. N. Las, an ardent Breckinridge man k we believe, stated that he would not vote for DOUGLAS under any circum stances. Another elector, SAMUEL MAnsnALL, refused to reply to the interrogatory of the Welsh Committee. This arrangement naturally excited great indignation among the friends of Judge Doc era's in this State,which found expression in the Convention called at Harrisburg on the 26th of July, where it was resolved that the whole scheme of fusion should be repudiated, cud a straight Douglas ticket put in the field. At the same time a hope was expressed that the Welsh Comnilltee would recede from its un principled and unauthorized action, and there fore the formation of a pure Douglas ticket was for a short. time postponed. On the 9th of August, the Welsh Commit tee held a second session at Cresson, when, after a full discussion of the subject, it deter mined to adhere to its fusion project, but to slightly modify the terms upon which it was based, so that, as amended, it read as follows : &iotaliei,That the DeMocratio electoral ticket be headed with Menem, of Douglas or Breokin ridge uan elector at large, and in the event of the swum of said ticket , if a greater number shall have been cut for Donlan, then the vote of the Bleotoral College of the State shall be oast for Douglas, and Johnson; but if for Breoklnridge, then for Breckinridge and Lane; If the -vote of Pennsylvania cannot elect tbeeandblatea for whom the majority of votes are out, and can elect any man running for President claiming to be a Demo mat, then the vote of the Electoral College shall be out for that candidate; If it will not elect either of the Democrats for whom it Is out, or any of the Democrats who are voted for in the State, then the vote shall be out for the candidate who hes the majority of the votes of the State, and the Admen of We committee be requested to obtain from the electors their several and distinct pledges of loll:dement:at in the foregoing resolution, and re port the remit of his action at a future meeting of the coMmittee. This project was, of .course, quite as oh. jectionable to the friends of Domes as the original one, and their Executive Committee, therefore, proceeded to form what was termed a pure Douglas ticket, which was announced On the lath of September last as follows : • ~,Rie hard V2ICT . 0111 AT LARIL c .

The other fifteen electors on the straight ticket are known to be warm advo cates of the distinguished Illinois Senator. Before the result of the Gubernatorial elec tion was ascertained, mid when some of the politicians of the State thought it probable that if FORM was elected a nation would be formed with the friends of BELL, efforts were made to induce a larger number of the Road ing electors than the twelve named above to agree to give an unconditional support to judge DovaLas, and we hail been informed that to some extent these maentents were suc cessful with the following electors, viz,: Joe. OBOCIATT, T. H. WALKER, S. S. BARBER, P. FICTTIBRAN, and B. D. Hamm. Soon after the election'of ANDszw G. CDR. Tin was announced, Chairman Wstin called another meeting of his famous committee at Reading, and in that city, on the 12th of Octo ber, it adopted, on motion of Captain ALFRED DAS, a warm partisan of BaneztratwoE, the following resolution : Resolved, That this committee do hereby resoind its motion at Philadelphia on the 2d of July, end et Cresson on the 9th of August last, and that as re commend to the Democratic party of Pennsylvania to stand by the electoral trust made by the Demo otatie State Clenvention at Readinfron the let of March, MO. A meeting of the Douglas State Committee was held at the Girard House on Thursday evening last. We published its proceedings yesterday morning, and they are therefore fresh in the recollection of our readers. It resolved to withdraw the straight Douglas elan total ticket from the Geld, and it alleged as the reason for this 'action, that by the withdrawal of the Philadelphia and Cresson fusion resolu tions on the part of the Welsh Committee, the men upon the Reading electoral ticket were 'bound in honor to vote for STIVPHXN A. Donn :LAB if they should be elected. It is but right that the voters of Pennsylvania should have a correct understanding of the position of men 'named for such a responsible station as that of elector, and we have therefore endeavored to Mato as clearly as possible the movements which have been made in regard to the Read ing electoral ticket, and the proclivities of the men who compose it, as far as we , have beens enabled to ascertain them.

Orr, and others,'are fired with a worthy ambition to summed him. r k lt is probable, however, that Mr. Hammond will ,be reeleeted.- - Washington has lapsed into the usual dreary monotone Whioh oharacterises it during a long re• oess of Congress.. It ao doubt will remain un broken till, after the Presidential election. The Republican Committee, which, previous to' Ooto. her, was full of life, busy and bustling in scattering documents throughout the country as pabulum for the faithful, is now about to shut up its rooms and leave the rest to the people. Senator Ring and others will leave for New York to engage in the °mate there, where already so many orators have been thrown from the South and Southwest to do ell that can be done to defeat Lincoln end carry that State for the fusion ticket. The Douglas Committee, under the of loient lead of Hon. Miles Taylor, of Louisiana, is probably the most active political comer] now in existence in this city. They do all that honorable men may do to stela the mad torrent of sectionalism at the South. The Breckinridgere, captained by Hen. Dew I, Stevens, of Washington Territory, it is understood have the most funds, and accordingly endure the luxuries of life with stoical fortitude Bumpers there for the gallant Breektnridge and Lane! The daily and evening journals are saved from positive inanition by the petty squabbles of a Breekinridge association which has assumed the name of the Jackson Demooratio Association, and discussions of how many have abandoned the Bell- Everett party slime the Pennsylvania election to, join the "Wide-Awakes." First, they expelled Mr. Wallaoh, editor of the Star, one of the most virulent and aousive Breckinridgers, and by far the least reflecting and unscrupulous of the de fenders, of the present Administration, because be olted " the nomination of the city Demporatio Convention for Mayor ; and in the next, place they have subjected them selves to much angry comment by resorting to the ingeniona plan of replenishing their • exhausted treasury, by making the President, his Cabinet, and heads of bureaus, sozontenr members, and providing a committee, In order to Soled five dol lars from each for that superfine compliment. In reference to the other point, it is alleged that one hundred and seventy-five of the Bell.Rverette gave in their adhesion to the Republican party the night after the recent State election, and animated calls are now made for the names of the "desert ere." This Breokinridge club has erected itself into a high court of inquiry, issuing its edicts, dic tating to the Administration who are worthy, and who are not, of _the Federal patronage. Its tone has been more than supercilious and arrogant. It would seem that they refuse to pro fit by the experience of the Administration in readine out of the party those to whom they may take dislike,' and though the ranks are al ready thin, they seem resolved to become 'a very select company. If one is fond of the fun, the big-worded bulls of exoommuniestion fulminated against office•holders recreant on the prime principle of money oontributions to the came afford readable material to while away a leisure hour. I sauntered into the Capitol during the fore noon, and on all aides heard the busy note of pre. paration for the coming session. In the hall of the Houser of Representatives carved oak desks and chairs, with red leather seats and beaks, have, under resolution of the last session, usurped the place of benches, and the desk of the govern ment reporters I was glad to see has been made more roomy and comfortable. Mere than once I have wondered, as I sat in the gallery, how, with the scanty asmommodation afforded them under Captain Male plan—lase to each reporter, I learn, than is allowed to diners at a, hotel—these gentle. men °odd drive their "ravenous pens." I pre sume they are now indebted to the kindness of Captain Franklin.

The ehange consists in the removal of the ladies' gallery and the dais which wee occupied by the Vice Presi dent's chair, as well as the desks of the Secretary of the Senate and his clerks, and the substitution, instead of the letter, of a long platform, with heavy wood railing, for the used' the Chief Justine and his asumaistea. 4. square enclosure In front of the bench has been railed off for the bee of the bar, and outside of that oats will be provided for ettitorit., ,Thar, this ingest tribunal, the highest judicial iotty knovra to our laws, se long impri toned in one, of •the subterranean vaulty of the Capitol building, will now be brought one intotke open ditylig,ht,4tl held itt Mem in a chamber to which its exalted and distinguished position In the Government entitles It. A fact worthy to be stated just recurs to me. Ron. Isaac I. Stevens, chairman of the Buckle ridge Committee here, is the delegate to the House of Representatives from the Territory of Washing ton, and as a citizen of that Territory is no more entitled to vote for President and Vioe President than any of the four or five °Rhone of the District of Columbia who are members of the same com mittee. Now, is it not passing strange that they should be selected to dictate to the people of the sovereign States, when the Breakinridge doctrine Is to the effect that the people of the Territories are unlit to govern jhemeelves until the Congress of the United States enacts what they shall be allowed to do and what they shall not be allowed to do? He not only has not a vote for President, but he has not a vote in the House of Representatives itself. If the people of a Territory are unfit to govern themselves, if they are inferior in that respect to the people of the States, bow absurd, then, is it to select men from the Inferior to lead the superior body? It is not necessary to elaborate the point. OCCASIONAL. Letter from ,4 Kappa.” Mousepondenee of The Pram] WASHINGTON, Oat. 19,1860 • The Pronoh newspapers have suggested Jerusa lem as the future seat of the Pope. Who can tell what Napoleon is going to do ? We know that whenever he has a secret idea which he intends to carry out, he uses the press for the purpose of making the people familiar with it. Does he find that he will meet with success, be immediately goes to work. And after all, his present plan,•to transplant the Pope to Palestine, the cradle of Christianity, is indeed aot so bad. A Fiend' army would soon clear the land of the robbers which now infest it, and, in all probability, the country, which so long, almost for eighteen hun dred oenturies, has been an almost forsaken and sterile desert, inhabited by a few tribes of wandering Arabs, Dumas, Maronites, with a sprinkling of smite poverty-stricken Jews, would semi flourish again under the blessings of peace, industry, and civilisation, and milk and honey, as of yore, would again flow in aliundance within its borders. European immigration, in spired by holy reminiscenoes, would soon populate the deserted cities, and Sidon, Tyros, Caesarea, and Jaffa, (Jappe,) would again become celebrated and much-frequented seaports. Jerusalem is not farther off from the seaport of Jaffa than Rome is from Olvita Veoohia. In short, whilst the tempo. ral power of the Pereira Europe will always be a source of great diffioulties and complications, his residence in Jerusalem would not only be appro. priate as far as religion is concerned, but would! aloe reduce a country, formerly so prosperous, un der the dominion of civilisation, Christianity, and humanity. Besides, having the hfahommedans in the immediate vicinity, what a AA field would be offered for the diffusion of Christianity and martyr dom to the mtulonarles, monks, -priests, bishops, and cardinals! Let, therefore, the Pope go to Jerusalem. It is mere holy and appropriate for the seed the mosoessor of lit. Peter , than unruly and boisterous Borne. Napoleon, whose army at Rome Is now 25,000 men strong, wishes the Pope to esoape from Borne. Per, as long as he remains there, it will not be well possible for the Sardinians to enter the Eternal City, as it would place Prance, as the alleged pro teetreas of the Holy See, In an awkward position. Should Pie Nono, however, leave Rome, Napoleon will have no further obligation towards him. Bo muoh is certain, that the latter has utterly refused to protest the Pope against Garibaldi and the King of Sardinia, declaring, at the same time, for non intervention, 1. e. against any interference by other European Powers. It is a known fact that Great Britain maintains a large fleet on the coast of Afrioa, year after year, to capture slavers. But what becomes of the negro,' thee liberated from these captured slavers? Whilst elaveholding America carries back to Airbus the liberated Degrees in national vessels, It an enormous expense, philanthropical England, the ally off our Abolitionists and tire eaters, transports them to the West Indies as apprentices, where they are worse off than if they bad been sold as slaves. They are there used up as "raw material," very i few of them surviving the period of apprenticeship (ten years). That is what England calls "liberating." Mr. Pryor, of Virginia, Is in town. He declares himself against a dissolution of the Union on the mere ground of Lincoln's election. Kam. LARGE BALI STOCKS, REAL ESTATE, &O.

The isterary lecture season was opened at Mu• sioal Fund hall last evening, under the double drawback of a rainy night and an " unlucky" evening of the week for leoture-board entertain• wants, (from some cense or other Friday evenings are inansplolous for lectures,) In a lecture before the Barmen Literary Union, by Samuel M. Smucker, LL. D, on "The Two Ltumboldts." Notwithstanding this, there was a respectable audi ence, both as regards numbers and intelligence, albeit, we will not do the house the injustice to say it was crowded. Fully three-fourths of those pre sent were ladies, which, considering the theme and the weather, is remarkable. Doubtless, a mea• sure of the success is due to the efforts of the en terprising young gentlemen under who3o auspices the lecture was delivered. Dr. Smucker, on entering the platform, was greeted with applause, and was introduced to the audience by the president of the "Union," B. Fisher King, Esq. In opening, tho lecturer said that there were few questions more worthy of the attention of the roes than the inquiry, Do mankind improve, from age to age, in virtue and knowledge, or do they not? The two sides of this inquiry, as argued by op. posing philosophers, were summarily presented as introductory to his theme. There wm, be said, manifestly a constant struggle between the old ann the nevi, between the conservative and progressive elements of society. and the street of this conflict, he held,•was salutary and Improving in its ton tenoy, from which he inferred that there was in the future of mankind a " golden age," in which moral eXcellence and intellectual enjoyment would be universal. In view of this, ho could conceive of no higher oharaoter than that which was sys tematically devoted to the increase of human knowledge, Pre-eminently did the two distin guished personages that were to constitute the sub ject of his lecture belong to this noble class—Wil liam and Alexander von Humboldt. They were descended from a noble family, Wil liam, the elder, born in 1787, and Alexander in 1769. From their youth the taste of the former was manifestly inclined to the subject of humanity, and he had undoubtedly the greater amount of ge nius, whilst the proclivity of Alexander had early been manifested in the direction of phyeloarna tare, and to him was ascribed, of the two, the higher order of intellect. Tho condensed history of the researches of the younger Humboldt wes presented with a romantic interest, though not specialty invested - with any new light, or thoughts overlooked by Air. Smacker's Predecessors. Were we obliged to be oktiom, we might suggest here that less poetry bestowed upon the reproduc tion of the great traveller's explorations, in South Ametlea, especially, and more attention to the matter-of-feet oonsequeneea of them, would have esiforded more intellectual aliment to his hearers. Humboldt's ascent to the summit of Chimborazo was characterised as the some of his achievements in America, in his passion for research. He next followed his subject through his discoveries in the United States, commenoing in 1804, in which the lecturer displayed an intimate acquaintance with Humboldt'e written works. Leaving Alexander, he next took up the life of William Von iflumboldt, following him from the time when htr completed his studies at Gottingen until his death, In April, 1835—having, in the language of the lecturer, been calm, resigned, and studious, even to the end. He did not wonder that Wm. Von Humboldt found in the Eternal City the place, of all he ever visited, most congenial to his Cultivated mind. The reforms he had intro dueled in the system of education in Prussia were eulogised. He it wee who bad been mainly in strumental in the establishment of the University at Berlin. The part ha took in representing his monarch at the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, and subsequently in Paris, and hie visit to London, each came up for rapid review, the comments of the lecturer being uniformly In praise, without running into adulation of his subject. - After following Wm. Humboldt to his death, the lecturer again returned to the travels and re searches of his surviving brother, Alexander. OH., claiming the latter, his disposition was said to have been, too satirical, but in the aggregate all must admit that is the mind of Alexander von Hum boldt we had presented a glorious specimen of greatness. • We will conclude our nottem with 'a remark or two about this lectures' himself. Mr. Smucker hag the fertutusof being "good !whing, '. tall, erect, With a iineirehiselled heed and Moe, embellished with taetettilly!dispoesd raven hair. He has a :tan, SOtatruun votarrt , pt , doeirnoi /mow how-to use It to the beet advantage ,sr in orator. Ste man. mar also is toot - animate, as his matter it * too diy ' ever to render hlm "popular' as et lecturer. His subject last evening, it Is true, wasmot of a humor. cue Character, but, then, it was hie businees to have seationed his intellectual dish with a passage or two to elevate the lines of his bearers' faces, at least ones in the course of the evening, which ho did not do. The whole affair, although marked with read ing and scholarship, was as solemn as a eermon—or at least as solemn as a sermon ought to be; as we notice that laugh-provomitives in the pulpit are gradually becoming fashionable. Practice, and a thorough shaking up of the dry bones of Mr. Smoker's rhetoric, will be necessary to rank him very high In the galaxy of lecturing "stars," should he aspire in that direction. DESTRITOTIVI4 FIRS YEarEaDAY MORNtIiG. —The officers stationed near Sixth and Arch streets noticed a dense smoke in that vicinity, on Thursday night, but were unable to ascertain the cause until live o'olook yesterday morning, when flames burst from the fourth story of the large fivwstoried etruoture known as the Franklin Buildings, located immediately in the rear of Franklin Hall, Sixth street, below Arch. The building Is approached only by a passage on Sixth street, and it is closely surrounded with valuable and combustible property. Franklin Hall juts near upon it in the rear of the latter, the Pennsylvania Hotel adjoins on the Booth, and 'its stables were greatly exposed; while other proper ty was exposed to the danger of ignition, The fourth story, to which the Homes appear to have originated, was occupied by Duman White, book binder. The entire stook of work on hand was ruined by fire and water, involving a loss to Mr. White of about $2,500. E. 0. & J. Biddle, Charles Desilver, and other publishers had work in the hen& of Mr. White, which was destroyed or badly damaged. The loss upon this work is in dependent of the damage sustained by Mr. White. From the establishment of Mr. White the fire spread to the bookbindery of Charles 11. Marot, on the fifth floor. The fire did but little damage in the apartment occupied by Mr. Marot, but ho sus tained some lose from water. The third floor was °coupled by William S. Young, general job printer. Mr Young's esta bliahment was deluged with water, and muoh con fusion was emoted among his typo. Several reli gious newspapers and periodicals are published here, and the fire will interfere earlourly with the -issue of some of those papers. The forma of the Christian Instructor and the Continental LOU r nest were knocked into pi, and printed sheets wore destroyed. A considerable portion of the edition of the Presbyter-Lan Quarterly Review was de stroyed. Another portion of the same edition was in the hands of Mr. White for folding and stitching, and it, too, was ruined. Mr. Young can form no estimate of ble loss. Smith & Paters, stereotype printers, ocoupied the second floor; they had a number of valuable works on band, which were ruined by water. The steam power In the building belongs to this firm. They estimate their loss at from $2,000 to $3 000. The first floor and basement are tenanted jointly y Phlness Dow, maehinist, and M. Walker & Sou, iron-railing matufmturers. Their shops wore drenohed with water, but the loss is not heavy. The building belongs to.llnlings eowperthwait. The loss to building, stocks machinery, ka., Is i roughly estimated at from $lO,OOO to $15,000. It a entirely covered by insurance. Fire Marshal Blackburn is of opinion that the tire was the result of accident, but how It originated is entirely un certain. It commenced in a trough used for hold ing paper shavings, but it la, not known what ig nited them. About ono hundred persons of both sexes have been thrown out of ompioyment, temporarily, by this fire. 'she firemen were promptly in service after the discovery of the flames, and by mounting the roofs of the adjoining houses they snoceeded in throwing the powerful streams of the steamers directly upon the flames, and In preventing any important spread of the lire beyond the floor upon which it urigi• naiad. DESTItUOTIVPI FIRPI LAST EVENING.— Loss Anour $35,000 —Shortly after eight o'clock, last evening, fire was discovered issuing from the extensive three•and.a.half-stoly stone building en the tenth side of Willow at , below Thirteenth. The building was about`so feet front, and extended 100 feet in depth. Tho whole of the building, axe opt two rooms at the southern end, was occupied by Mr. Thos. Schofield, taanufaoturer of woollen yarn, used for carpets, knit jaokets, stockings, Ao. Mr. S. had extensive maohinory, and a large quantity of manufactured and raw material, which was en. tirely destroyed, the building being gutted from top to bottom. Mr. B.'s loss is estimated at $25,000, $20,000 of which was in maohinery. Ile is Insured to the amount of $12,500, $7,000 of which is in the Northern Assurance Company of London; $3,000 in the Philadelphia Fire and Life, anti $2,500 In the /Etna Insurance Company of Hart ford Conn. Mr. B. had an insurance of $7,000 in theßoyal Insurance Company, but it expired a few days ago, and an officer of tho company visited the establishment on Thursday to request Mr. Soho. field to renew therpolloy, but he donned doing Attached to the southern end of the atone building was a long one-story frame building, oo• copied by Jacob P. Reed, wood turner. His stook was somewhat damaged by water. Mr. Reed has an Insurance of $l l OOO in the Girard Insurance Company: which will fully cover his loss. The second story of the eouthern end of the large stone building was occupied by A. Otto, turner in iron, and by a manufacturer of light cabinet-ware, named Bally, both of whom sus., tamed damages to their tools ) stock, ..to. Mr. Otto is fully insured. The third story of the southern end of the build-' ing was °coupled by Geo. Blight Browne and his brother, as an amateur maohine.shop. Their stook and fixtures were entirely destroyed. The injury to the building is estimated at 15000, upon which there 10 no insuranee. The building, en. gore, and boiler belong to the estate of the late Peter A. Browne, The less in maabinery Is anti. mated at $B,OOO, which was also uninsured, The total loss dell the sufferers will reach about $35,000. The lire broke out in the room occupied by Mr. Otto in the second story of the stone building, in. mediately over the boiler, but howet originated could not be ascertained with certainty last night. The contents of the building being very otimbuti , ble, the flames spread very rapidly, and although the firemen were promptly on the ground, and la bored hard, they were unable to prevent the dee struotion of the building and its contents. The dense smoke from the burning woollen goods was almost suffocating, and impeded, to a great extent, the labors of the firemen. Adjoining the burning building, on the east, is the extensive Keystone wood-turning establish ment, also belonging to the Browne estate, and oo copied by Joseph Mover, s ustained some damage by water. Mr. Hoover is fully insured In the Girard Insurance Company. While the fire was at its 'height, great consterna tion eras created in the Friends' ileme for Colored Children, situate on Thirteenth street, east side, below Willow. • The inmates were very much alarmed, but the pollee entered the building, and through their exertions the fears of the children were quieted. Considerable alarm wee also occasioned by let ting off the steam from the boiler, which was en. closed in a half basement at the extreme end of the stone building. Many persons supposed that an explosion' had taken piaoe, and there was a general scampering from the scene. The measure was a precautionary one, intended to prevent an explosion of the boiler, which might have taken place,-tie the steam was up when the fire com menced. Some fifty persons, chiefly boys and girls, will be thrown out of employment by the lire. The rain came down in torrents all the time the fire lasted, and a gale of wind was blowing at in• tervals from almost every point of the compass. A SHOPLIFTER TWENTY-HIVE Ygeng— The ARRNST or GORDON D. liner .--In another portion of the local column we refer to the re arrest of Gordon D. Pratt, a notorious professional shoplifter. The history of the man in question ex hibits little of the romance generally connected with crime. We have taken some pains to acquaint ourselves with Its singular but sad details. In the Rogues' Gallery, at the Police Detective rooms, most visitors have paused with some dis gust before portrait No 71, representing a stout, solid person, apparently fifty years of ago, with straight; sandy hair, a sleepy, listless eye, and Diatoms villainous in their heaviness. A 'short distance from 71 (photograph) is a daguerreotype, represontiog.a large, flashily-dressed person, wear ing inksebuir nod whiskers, a glistening beaver, and a gold chain Picture 71 wears no beard, and is rery seedily garbed. To an unpractised eye the figures have no similarity, but the quick glance' of the detective recognises in both the lineaments of the MAO individual. The daguerreotype in ques tion was taken in New York city, at a period of great professional success with Pratt, when be was oonsrquentlyhablted like a mowed motto it was found in his sheet a year ago, when he had been convicted of shoplifting. The photograph wee taken at the expense of the city. Gordon D. Pratt is now more than sixty years of age. ' Ile was ginally fully six feet high, but declining strength has rounded his shoulders and given him a lees im posing appearance. ma heavy features indicate coarseness; he has generally a sluggish, sleepy glance, but we have seen his dull, inanimate eye suddenly and stealthily :flashing—that eye of the thief. Pratt was born in this city. liie early life was passed among idle and depraved association', and he became a thief when, a .boy. Hie first opera tions were confined to petty pilfering—the cab baging " of old iron, lead pipe, eta. In that early day he fell in with John Brown, alias White, a boy of about the same age and of similar evil tendencies. They became " pals " or accom plices, and were finally brought into the dock to gether for the crime of petty larceny. The ston of their *Motion Is still remembered by the committing alderman—two shabbily dressed, guilty-eyed nrohine, overwhelmed not with shame, but with fear, standing himshotten, in the centre of a throng of speotators, a policeman upon the side of each, and the testimony of their orime written in their faces. Owing to some lack of evidence, these boys were discharged. They straightway hardened into pro fessional "sneak thieves," and finally became shoinifte e r d s. thro T u he h ir storraengne than fort y been prolonged elfved togetter, m thiev t ed a ln c o o r m y pa Y n e y a nl. , and been simultaneously punished „The manes of their operations have been mainly in Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore. They wore large overcoats with great deep pockets in the lining. Pinging a store in the early morning, when porters were arranging goods in the windows and on the sidewalk, they waited for &favorable mo ment, end concealed a picas of silk, a pair of boots, or lot of asps, and rapidly made off. In travelling between the two eines they frequently assumed the garb of Believe just returned from a trip, and took places in an emigrant oar. In snob trim, their heavy bags laden with stolen goods were not suspected. Both Pratt and Brown were arrested during Mayor Gilpin's administration ' in 1853 Their rooms were searched, and found filled with stolen goods, most of which were identified by vic tims in New York, whither the thieves were taken and convicted. They served in prison until 1856. In August, 1859, these parties were again arrested OD the charge of robbing a shoe store. They were sent to the county prison for one year. At this time they roomed in common, and had accumula. led considerable money. Prior to this, Detective Smith, who had vigilantly looked after these wor thies, discovered Pratt in a courtship with a ro speciable English lady. She was on the point of marrying him when the detective revealedhls true Ohara° ter, Pratt and 'Brown are now gray-haired men They will doubtless be convicted anew, and most probably . their miserable earns will end with the ensuing imprisonment. We looked at them yesterday, and wondered if, its the great City, there were poorer men than they. 'A lire of guilt has not been peace to them,: and when they go down, grat-haired and in sor row, to the sad ensertieevrill there bo any heart to mourn or rnatnette • .ftsanAnn Oil Ireß _WASHINGTON GRAYS. Thei Washington:Maya, Capt. Parry, made their annual fell parade Yeeterdetraftersoon, and, after, mitrobing through the priecipal street', proceeded to the Baltimore Railroad depot, where they took carrinstes for Point Breese Park. Hari they en gaged in target practice-with thenew Minnib mem kete, at one hundred yards distance. Two targets were planted, ego for oaoh platoon. The firing was very good. The corps afterwards went through a number of manoeuvres, on the race course, in a very creditable manner. After this, the carps, with a number of gueste, partook of a collation, after which they took elm:Libelee and returned to the city. The prises were not awarded, the judges not having decided who was entitled to receive them. A MAN SNOT AT DADDGNFIELD.—John Brown, an employee at Evans' Mill, Haddonfield, N. J., on Thursday afternoon, shot a bird, which fell in the adjoining field. He repaired to the fence to get over, but neglected to unlock the left hand barrel; crossing the fence his foot slipped, and the muscle of the gun caught in his arm-pit, the gun going off at the same moment, Armoring ,the main bone, and the charge coming out at the top of the shoulder. Dr. Gross, of this city, and Drs. Hendry and Woodruff, of Haddonfield, to save the unfortunate map, took the romnantof the bone out of tho socket. He is in a very preca rious condition from extreme loss of blood. PROFESSOR LOWE AGAIN BENT UPON AS -010181011 —This gentleman, it appears, is still anx ious to cross the Atlantic. He is now engaged in this city in getting tap another machine, of the tame sine as that destroyed, but of superior con struction. The muslin has been woven for the purpose, and Is oboe and strong. It will be made about 106 feet horisonted, and 190 feet perpendicn• tar diameter, (exclusive of the car and boat,) using .5,000 yards of muslin. In other respects it will not differ from the "Great Western," which exploded some time ago. A DISHONEST COLORED DemsEL.—en Thursday a colored damsel who called herself Sarah Robinson, was arrested in a room at the Btoad•street House, at the corner of Broad and Pearl streets, in the Fourteenth ward. She bad a number of silk dresses bustled up when she was captured. the endeavored to excuse herself by saying that she had been Ant there by a board. r in the house to gethie wash. The washing of silk dresses is a new idea. Sarah was committed to answer. DROWNED AT SIIIPPEN-STREET WIMP. Yesterday morning the body of an unknown white woman was found floating in the Delaware, oppo site Shippen street. , The body appears to have been in the water for a number of days.

On the of:fusion of the recent news, I thought of your noble quali ties when I received the letters 'which your eminence honored me with under date of Au gust 10. Tour eminence has acquired froth claims to my gratitude by the congratulations which you have deigned to address to me. They are an additional proof of your charity and sanctity. I fool myself moat highly flattered by the attention with whioh the Emperor has deigned to honor a men whose only merit is that of having paid what ha owed to his conscience. In my eyes, it is a high dietinotion fallen to the lot of an unoc cupied man—for be who only does his duty is not entitled to honors. A great eubjeot of delight for me is the assistance 'which the Emperor and the French nation are giving to the inhabitants of Syria. It ie not I who saved them, but the rays of the French, Emperor's power, who has, 105.11 the corners of the world, fat hful servants ready to perform their duty. Deign to present my te apots to the honorable eeoleelagiee who surround you, and to my friends. May God prolong your days! Written on the part of Said Abd-el-Kaeder Ben Mo- Iddin.

The stock market, to uso the expressive phrase of a Prominent broker, to-day was heavy as lead. The better clam of securities are very firmly held, but the fancies are weak, with a falling tendency, the result in pelt of the desperate attempt of the bears in New York to get up a first-class panic in that market. Reading Railroad shares fell Green and Coates passenger rail way. North Pennsylvania sixes; Long Island Rail road shares, and Critawaisa preferred stook all declined a fraction. The money market is not Affected by the fluctuations at the Stook Board, either in this city or New York.

A MOST ColitPlarrs Ann SEASONABLE ARTICLE.— IVe have already had occasion to rear to the mile brated Parlor Heating Stove of Mr. I. &Clark, No.10:13 Market street, as a moat decided improvement upon any other article in that line. This Stove, we may repeat, is the popular Silver's Stove, watt Mr. Clark's latest and most valuable improvements. Of the latter, , the ornamental Fender with whit& he has this season embellished this Stove will be universally. reoognized as the perfeoting touch to this excellent store. It not only renders the stove much more becuttfut, and fit for parlor. chamber, or office use, but it enhances its perfection and conve nience by avoiding the emote upon the carpet of dust and ashes, which with the stoves not supplied with Clark', Fender has always been a serious objection. We are quite sure that persons who are about purcha sing stoves will not be satisfied with any other after ex amining this, and we would therefore advise all to -call at Mr. Clark's warerooms before purchasing. His 'Wes, moreover, are manufactured in the best and moot work manlike manner, and from the very best inatetials be uses only the first quaiiiy and heaviest RUSES sheet iron in manufacturing, which fact alone has rendered his stoves popular with the public, who are beginningito appreciate the advantages of buying a really first-rate article, rather than the mere imitations, which may be sold at a lower price. Th s stove. we omitted to say, is also a great mionomist of fuel. The celebrated Shoat iron gas-burning stove of Mr. Clark's manufacture. which has the distitietion of burning hut rum tons of coat air year, is also rapidly finding its war into every family.
