Tho continued and rapid increase in the circulation of this journal has induced us to purchase ono of Taylor's new double cylinder presses, and to remove our printing office to another and more convenient location—thus prfividing comfortable accommodations for our numerous staff, and thereby enabling us to add to the-spirit and energy of all the de partments of the paper. We hope, hereafter, to hear no complaints from subscribers on ac count of the late delivery of THE PRESS. The News. The steamship Illinois, on her way from Liver pool to New York, has put late Halifax for coal. Her advices have been mainly anticipated. Gari baldi bad advanced on Capua and taken one of the bastions. The Royalists, remembering Voiturno's day, were retreating towards 'Gaeta. Victor Emmanuel, evidently intending to antici pate the proposed plan of Garibaldi to proclaim a slotted Italy fromthe top of the Quirinal, bad an nounced his intention of entering the territory of Naples at three different points, on the 11th of Oc tober. In the meantime, Austria was fortifying her maritime defences in view of any probable trouble. A European Congress, on Italian affairs, was about to beheld. The revolution in Mina was extending. The anti-Lincoln parties in Now Jersey have united and formed an electoral ticket coniiiining throe Douglas Democrats, two Breckinridgo men, and two Bell mon, to be voted for at the November otcotion. All _other tickets have been withdrawn, and the opposition to Republicanism in Now Jersey now presents a united front. The Presidential canvass in New York is being fought with unusual animation on both aides. On Saturday evening 'there was an immense Union meeting at the Cooper Institnte. Considerable en thusiasm preiailed round about the building, and in the early part of the evening rockets were dis charged in front of the Institute. Mr. Joshua J. Henry presided at the meeting. The first speech was delivered by the Hon. Charles J. Holum, of Kentucky, who was followed by Mr. Gerard, of New York city, &Id the Hon. Mr. Stevens, of Ore gon, thelehairman of the Secessionists' National Committee. A despatch from Washington to the Herald states that the Secretary of War has censured General Harney for disobeying the orders of General Scott respecting the Ban Juan affair. In consideration of his eminent services, General Harney will retain his position in the army, and will be allowed leave of absence fora period, or be assigned to the eons rased of one of the military departments, as he may prefer. By the avrival of the Isabel, at Charleston, wo have advices from Havana to the 23d inst. There had been no change, in the sugar market since pre vleus reports. The crops promised a satisfactory yield. The Spanish minister to Venezuela, and the Spanish consul at Legusyra, together with one hundred and twentyeia Spantsh subjects from Venezuela, had arrived at Havana. The report that a fleet was fitting out at Havana to aid Mira. men in Mexico is denied. The steamship Now York sailed from New York on eaturday, for Southampton and Bremen, with one hundred and fourteen passengers, $107,800 in specie, and 12.000 pounds of silver ore. The City of Blanchester sailed for Liverpool on Saturday, with one hundred and fifty passengers and $150,- 039 in specie. The steamship Matanzas arrived at New York, from Matanzas, on Saturday. Her news is of no importance, having been anticipated in the despatch received from the Isabel, at Charleston. Senator Toombs, of Geolgia, made a speech at Montgomery, Alabama, on Friday evening, on the issues of the canvass. Tho assembly was large, and the sentiments of the ore or of the most ultra character. Among other things, he urged th; re sistance of Lincoln's election to the death. The Administration hucksters, in their anxiety to elect BILEORINRIDGE, now advertise that they have effected a fusion between the Douglas, 8011, and Breckinridge parties in New Jersey, by giving the Douglas men three, the Brockinridgers two, and the Bell- Hes two electors. The trick is too clumsy to deceive anybody. The straight DOUGLAS Democrats of Now Jersey will never touch the ticket—they will repudiate it precisely as the people of Pennsylvania will repudiate the fusion electoral ticket in this State. At the moment these Disunion coalitions are presented to the Democracy of the free States; -the South is rapidly closing around BRECILLISELDGE, the Disunion candidate for the Presidency,. and refusing all fusion. Southern States, hereto fore claimed as certain tor BELL, are now, put down for the Secessionists ; and in order to effect a complete consolidation upon BLUM MUDGE, BELL and DOUGLAS are set aside as no better than LINCOLN! As an evidence of the spirit that prevails among the enemies of Judge DOUGLAS in that quarter, we refer to the proposition lately made by Col. GanDIJER, editor of the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, under date of October 22d. As a Douglas Democrat, anxious to conso lidate the Democracy of Georgia on one elec toral ticket, he proposed that the friends of DOUGLAS, BELL, and BREOELNRIDGE should come together as the Breckinridgers in Now York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have proposed. This offer was received by the Breckinridgo Disunion paper, in the same town of Augusta ; as follows: "Mr. Douglas is advertised to speak at various points in the Booth, and will, doubtless, urge his squatter-sovereignty dootrines as the true princi ples to guide ne on the question of slavery in the Territories. Ile may reiterate his determination' to aid Lincoln to put down, by force, the very peo ple whom Cal. Gardner would have united to re. siet him. We could not consent to vote for electors pat upon a fusion ttchet, pledged to support him, rules the State as all over Breck• tnrtdge and Lane upon the true principles of the Constztutton. We have the same remarks to make of electors for Bell. Oar opposing wing of the Democratic party should abandon Douglas and Johnson, and vote for Breokinridge and Lane. The 801 l men, also, should come to their support. If they will not, we shall be glad to see all parties united in the event of Lincoln's election in oppo sition to his rule. "Breokinridge and Lane men ! you stand upon the ramparts of the Constitution, Stand there firmly still. Stand by your rights before the elec tion and after. Sooner or later, your Douglas and Bell opponents in the South mast come to your flag." Who does not see through this transparent scheme directly into the hearts of the Dis unionists 1 The Douglas men are to fuse with Disunionists In the North, so that electoral tickets may be chosen that will unite with the solid South in favor of the Disunion candidate for 'the Presidency; hilt there is to be no fission between the Douglas, Bell, and Breckinridgo men in the South, because such a fusion would reduce the number of Disunion electors. Will not the Democracy of Pennsyl vania, New York, and Now Jersey anticipate this fonl'attempt upon their credulity, and put their heel upon it on the sixth of November coming?

In a Prussian paper, the National Gavelle,, of Berlin, under the head of Correspondence froth Vienna, there is a communication rela tive to the manner in which Austria is mis governed, which is at once singular and signi ficant—first, from what it reveals, and next, because its appearance ina Prussian Govern ment organ shows that the House of Branden burg is nothing loth to expose the House of Hapsburg to contempt and ridicule. The substance of this revelation we here subjoin: Three parties now struggle for influence in the Imperial Court at Vienna. At the head of the party advocating immediate and straight.. forward Progress, without any arriere pensee, stands the young Empress. Some months ago, the Archduke FERDINAND MAXIM!. LIAN, enlightened by his experience during his vice-Royalty at Milan, begged and en treated his brother, the Emperor, to desist from the narrow and mean system of oppres sion exercised in the whole Empire ; warning him that, sooner or later, the same causes might be followed by the same consequences in other nationalities. The Archduke left his country in disgrace, taking with him the memory of very bitter words from the Em peror. The Empress exercises a bolder, more legitimate, and more perseverant influ ence, and is sometimes more successful. Every morning, before the reception of the adjutants, who bring tho Reports, she en. ters the Cabinet of the Imperial Husband, there she reigns for a while, discussing and suggesting the highest questions of politics, directed only by her heart and patriotic inspi ration of the right. She has not been taught history. Ambition and intrigue are strangers in her heart, but her eloquence flows from her soul and from her presentiments. She looks at the exiled Italian princes. She is very much concerned about her younger sister, who was lately on the Neapolitan throne. The echoes of the complaints of so many oppressed na tions penetrate the walls of the Imperial Cas tle. She reads in the features of her Impe rial Husband the cares that devour him; her heart is rent at the thought of her children's fate. The second, the Concordate or Compromise party, finds in the mother of the Emperor (the famous Archduchess SornrA) a most capable, strong, and indefatigable chief. This party also advised very broad concessions, in the hope of reducing them to the smallest pos sible capacity at the slightest change of for tune. The third party is the Military Court of the Emperor. As was said of the French Bourbon race, by TALLEYBAND, cc it has no thing learnt, nothing forgotten." Even now, when the genius of that Monarchy is ready to extinguish her torch in dismay, that party relies upon the sabre, mistaking meanness and obstinacy for energy and power, and cannot, will not, admit that circumstances may be ever stronger than the Emperor of Austria. Amidst the struggle of parties, the Emperor stands yet, but is shaken by recent events. He is in a fatal dilemma. On one side he sees calamities and continual disNrbances, but the sweet habit of absolute power, too ; on the other that power's division, but peace and general satisfaction. "What's in a name?" he said, not long ago. Certainly the name does not change anything, but the complete abandonment of the ancient mode of govern ing might work wonders, even in these ex treme moments. Considering, under all aspects, the politi cal position of Austria and Europe, (says the .dugsrbarg Zeitteng,) we always must fatally come to the conclusion that a Constitutional form, binding Centralization with Decentrali zation, is urgent and indispensable. Austria wishes to renew her truce with Europe, come to an understanding with her German confed erates, and shake MY the bonds imposed upon her by political-religions obligations. Aus tria, wishing to become the buckler of Ger many, and to be ready to repel a common foo, must, at any cost, Introduce positive reforms. Would it not be a gain for her to abandon that mean routine policy, that rotten bureaucra titaf Sys..em, - or-rtiose pat,4 7 -oonockasaicono f hot. undermine the foundations of the monarchy Would it not be better, throwing all that trash away, heroically to take a firm position upon the constitutional field, where she would find general approbation? The policy of expedi ency is every day more impossible. If the Emperor will entrust the guard of his crown to his subjects, confidence, regard, financial resources, and peace, would arise. Those who advise such a policy are tho interpreters of the best friends of Austria, from the pa lace to the humblest log-house. The Board of Trade Excursion. All the accounts which have reached us of the progress of the Board of Trade excursion through the West indicate that it will not only prove a very agreeable trip to those connected with it, but also decidedly advantageous to the business interests of our city. At every point it visits it is received with marked attention and great cordiality. The Western merchants are evidently as anxious to obtain accurate information in regard to the business facilities of Philadelphia as wo aro to disseminate such knoWledge, and they have given marked mani festations of friendship and good feeling. From the numerous conferences which have taken place between the representatives of corresponding interests during their journey, important results should flow. It is evident that the Northwest and Philadelphia could promote their mutual prosperity by a great increase of the trade now existing between them, and it is only necessary that an exten sive and intimate personal acquaintance should bo established to satisfy all parties interested of this fact. Of the great agricultural products of the West—her grain, flour, and provisions—a much larger quantity than that which has heretofore been purchased here should find in Philadel_ phia an advantageous market, and a superior point for exportation. This one subject alone is worthy of the most earnest consideration. The great West, with her boundless agricul tural resources, is capable of feeding whole nations with her surplus products. It will re quire but a comparatively few and unimportant improvements to make our city the favorite place for exporting a very large proportion of them. The energy displayed throughout the whole region, which the excursion party will visit, in surmounting any minor obstacles which impede important commercial enter prises, furnisher an example we should not be slow to imitate, and there is an ample amount of business ability here, to establish all the necessary new facilities, if it is once pro perly aroused and skilfully directed. Philadelphia, as an importing city, holds a much lower rank than she should aspire to; and it unfortunately happens that, by the cue tom-house returns, her direct importations are made to appear much smaller than they really are, for the importing houses located in this city annually bring into the country many millions of dollars' worth of goods through the port of New York, which are never owned in that city, but are merely entered there and duties paid upon them, while they are actually in transitu to our own stores. And, mean while, our immense manufactories aro an nually making up an extraordinary quantity of domestic goods, many of which aro pecu liarly adapted for the consumption of the West, and Western merchants are in the habit of purchasing them in New York, after they have been transported from Philadelphia to that city. Considering that, as a manufac turing centre, Philadelphia far exceeds in im portance any other point in America, that rents hero are comparatively cheap, that for probity and business fidelity our merchants hold a much higher rank than their New York competitors, that we are geographically nearer the West, and possess superior railway com munication, it is singular that we have not already obtained a much larger share of the traffic we are inevitably destined to acquire in future, if we do not shamefully neglect our business interests. TIIE BODY OF ALEXANDER QUINN FOUND IN THE SCHUYLKILL RIVER AT VIEE.SIR HET WEARY —Yesterday morning the body of Alex. der Quinn, missing and supposed to be murdered, was found in the Schuylkill river, near Vineetreet wharf. The deceased was a man of intemperate habits; and had been last seen in the company of McLaughlin, at Twenty-third and Hamilton streets, in the Fifteenth ward. The latter had boon in oustody einoe last Monday, and had under gone a number of hearings before the alderman. Suspicion was strong against him, and a number of petty circumstances were magnified into evidences of his guilt. • The body of the dead man has exhi bited the innocence of the prisoner. No marks of struggle wore found upon him ; he had evidently strayed to the bank of the river, and the darkness of the night, mingled with his Inebriety, had blunted his perceptions of the danger. The arrest of MoLaughlin should be a lesson of sobriety to him. The incident of a drunken spree would have ne hard with him as evidences of guilt had the body been mutilated. Douglas in the South. STEPHEN A. DotterAs spoke, on Satttrday last, at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and to-day he begins his canvass in Georkla by speaking at Kingston, to-morrow at Atlanta, on Wednes day at Macon, on Thursday at Columbus, on Friday at Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday at Selma, and on Monday, the sth, the day be fore the election, at Mobile in the same State. These efforts of Judge Commas strikingly il lustrate his foresight and fearlessness. Unap palled by defeat, he pursues the path he laid down for himself at the beginning, with heroic perseverance. Ho saw the necessity for grap pling with the enemies of his country b the slave States, and resolved to go there, accom panied by a single friend—our young and gifted townsman, JAMES B. SHERIDAN, Esq. At this moment, when the enemies of the Republic threaten to raze it from turret to foundation stone, and when the hearts of all patriotic men tremble, for the first time, lest these enemies may bo powerful enough to seduce the masses of the Southern people from their allegiance, the services of such a Northern man as STE PHEN A. DOUGLAS in the South—conscious, as he must be, that there is no hope of his own election to the Presidency—cannot be ove ' estimated. We - perceive that up to Friday last, when Judge Dona LAS spoke at Nashville, Tennessee, no attempt had been made to commit personal violence upon him, although this bad been threatened by the Charleston Mercury, the Memphis (Tenn.) avalanche, the Petersburg (Va.) Bulletin, and anticipated by Colonel Gnaw:En, in a late number of his Augusta (Ga.) Constautionalist. If the knowledge that sueh services as DOUGLAS is now rendering to his country are being discharged in the midst of danger to himself, and in the teeth of a ra pidly-concentrating Southern fanaticism, does not close the lips of those who are assailing him in the free States, then all magnanimity has departed from politicians. SwINDLING THEIR FRIENDS.—Forney & Co-, at Philadelphia, Laumen & Co., at Reading, and Daldeman & Co., at Harrisburg, firms doing a heavy business in the straight -ant trade, are said to have won an immense amount on Curtin's eleo• (lon. A great deal of it was won off the honest portion of the Douglas men, who did not suspect the treachery of their leaders, and therefore staked their money on Foster. The gains of Forney, Lao man, and their associates in this gambling opera- Con are af t down at sixty thousand dollars. Straight-oWDouglasism pays pretty well at that rate.—Valley Sptrtt, Clumberiburg, Pa. We copy tho abovo paragraph for the pur pose of informing our friends, R. J. Hamm armt, lisq., of Harrisburg, and Gen. GEO. M. LAUHAN, of Reading, that wo aro greatly in need of our portion of the sum which it appears our offending trinity won on the election of Col. CURTIN. Having conversed with both of these gentlemen sinco the election, and nothing having been said by them on the subject, we take this public opportunity of calling their attention to the fact. Tho small amount of twenty thousand dollars—our share in .. ' this successful venture—will be singularly accepta ble now, as we have just been at a large ex pense to provide a new steam press to work oft the rapidly-increasing edition of this jour nal. Col. HAT.DEMAN can havo no hesitation in honoring our draft, inasmuch as he has more than enough of this world's goods, and Gen. BAUMAN is so renowned for generosity that we have no doubt he will send it from Reading on a special train. Should our friend of the Valley Spirit (who has been carrying a great many burdens for the last three years, and been compelled to submit to a vast wear and tear of conscience, in order to bo worthy of the favors of the Administration) be out of pocket because of his over -confidence in Mr. BUCHANAN and his virtuous policy, and will call upon us on his next visit to Philadelphia, it will give us pleasure to reimburse him and all forlorn et seceders" out of our portion of the winnings. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter front 66 Occasional." [Con espundonoo of no Prom"' Wesoixorom, October 28,1880 Distrust of Demeeratio instincts and examples, fear of the popular rule, and secret contempt for the feelings of the mimic:, although time and again rtuola.anan, he always steadily denied until ho mounted the Presidential chair. Vain alike of his person and his acquirements, and aristocratic in his bearing and his tastes, he con trived, during many long yenta, to hide hie real pun. pose under an exterior of frankness, and to disarm the suspicions of tho Demos racy by continued profes sions of attachment to their principles. Scarcely had his foot to%ohed the Presidential stair, how ever, end ascended to the seat of the Chief Aloes traoy of the United S'atee, before ho sot about gratifying his own purposes and fulfilling the pro phecies of his opponents. Nearly all his late efforts havo been to establish nristooratie or monarchical principles. Ilia war has boon one persevering, relentless crusade upon the rights of the people, upon free opinion, upon independent action, and upon the American Press. To deny to the majority the right to rule; to attempt to make. the minority States, although resting upon the institution of slavery, the controllers of thelnajority States; to orush out furless journalists struggling for a living ; to arraign the popular branch of the Legislature; to make the Executive superior to Congress, and invulnerable to attack or investigation ; to mis read and misapply the Federal Constitution; to buy votes like Walpole, anti cell offices like Ba con; to prate economy, and to revel in the most frightful corruptions ; to cow the seeds of disaffec tion among a happy people; to break up popular Conventions, and to hunt down the candidates of the toiling millions; and, finally, to aid and en courage aspirants to the Presidency whose success must inevitably destroy :our . country ; these are hie works. What foreign foe could have done co much to lower the American character, to endanger the American Union, and to render it an easy prey to those who will hail the downfall of republican Government on these shores as the triumph of des potism all over the world? Hence, whoa Mr. Buchanan received the Prince of Wales at the White House, with open arms, be welcomed him, not only as the representative of a friendly Power, but as the representative of roy alty. lie entertained him, accordingly, with rare refinement and dignity. Here the 0. P. P. was playing an honest character. Since the depar ture of Baron Renfrew and his suite, the regal odor file the marble halls of the Presidential pa lace. Little °ln is talked of but "my Lord" this, and "my Lady" that. The President revels In his experiences at the various European courts, and delights in contrasting the public mon of the old world with those of the new. If he wore not now greatly advanced in life, ho would make a tour of England and Franco, in order to realize the reciprocal affection of congenial rulers, and to receive the felicitations of those who look upon him as their groat agent in demoralizing and bringing into shame republican institutions on those shores Among the other kingly pleasures in which the household of Mr. Buchanan occasionally indulge, that of sailing in the royal revenue cutter, the " Harriet Lane," seems to bo preferred. That beautiful oraft has been a sorter Cleopatra's barge to the ofbial aristocracy at this and other points. It cerriodjthe faithful to Charleston when they went there to breakup the Democratic party, and to pre pare to destroy the Union, It bears them to choice watering places whenever they desire to relax from the over-heavy duties of office and of society in Washington. They float upon it to and from Mount Vernon, and when the Prince reached South Amboy, the " Harriet Lane" received him into her friendly bosom, and here him in her arms to those of the waiting thousands of Gotham. A. few days ago, when Secretaries Cobb and Thompson went to Now York for the purpose of more effectually spreading tno virus of disunion, and in order to terrify the merchants into the be lief that nothing, in the event of Lincoln's election, could save them from utter bankruptoy and ruin, they had Pm Apician saturnalia on board the royal yacht Harriet Lone. The two Secretaries, with Collector Schell, (the übiquitous and never-opened Schell,) and a number et ladies, gave a day to pleasure, appropriately closing by a visit to " Washington Heights," where the chaste and costly hospitalities of Mr. and Mrs. James Gordon Bennett awaited them. I am not permitted to describe the splendor of this entertainment. Ben nett lives like a retired East India nabob. Of the thousands he has amassed, and is accumulating from the Herald, a large sum has been appropri ated to the purchase, improvement, and beautifi cation of Washington Heights. Nothing that mo ney can obtain is withheld/ in order to add to its attractions. But he pines for society. He longs for the presence of the gifted and the pure ; for the assooiation of statesmen, scholars, and divines— in other words, like most fortunate men, he aspires for something unattainable. All other wishes gratified, ho yearns to be forgiven for his long war upon the best and most upright men of the country. Every such visit, therefore, as that of the Cabinet and their ladles is a God send, and Bennett cannot bo too grateful for the honer thus conferred upon him; particularly when his recent and reneated assaults upon Secretary Cobb, including the most serious charges, are re membered. The Secretary of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, turns the prow of the royal yacht to Washington Heights, accepts the eagerly offered hospitalities of its owner, and for gives him for all his bitter sayings of the past, as a significant intimation that all he may write on the other side, hereafter, will be acceptable. It is a pity that the President and his household cannot employ the Harriet Lane to waft them to Wheatland. Unfortunately, they must travel there like other human beings, in ordinary oars and over ordinary railroads. The President, to whose Jackson record I re THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1860. forred a few ddya ago, AlliverS like an 'aspen leaf before the threatened catastrophe of secession. Having sown the storm, and now being called upon to reap the whirlwind of disunion, he has neither the courage nor the weapons to stay its progress. If he follows the lead of Mr. Cobb and Mr. Thomp• son, ho loses all hold upon the other members of his Cabinet, and will be compelled to close his days in the South. If he takes a middle course, he will fall between the two extremes without the respect of either. The next ten days will be full of inte rest. The almost certain election of Lincoln; the violent threats of the firo•oators the apprehensions of patriots of every party; the intrigues of those who ekpoot to participate in the spoils of the new Administration ; the distrust and sensitiveness in financial circles, will give to everything that may transpire between now and the sixth or tenth of November, an aspect of the gravest im portance Let no indulge the hope that Provi dence will continue to preside, and watch over this, the last refuge of the oppressed of all the nations of the world. The Pennsylvania clerks in pay of the Adminis tration have been Instructed to strike every Douglas man from the Reading fusion electoral tieket—par tionlarly such mon as Richard liana, Jesse Craw ford, and Gen. Bowen, of Fayette. The most ma lignant of all the Disunionists on the Pennsylvania electoral ticket is the somewhat famous George M. Kelm, of Berke county, who, from having been a Know Nothing of the blackest stripe, is now appeal ing to the Germans, and to the adopted citi zens, to vote for him, in order that he may be re•elected to assist 13reckinridgo and tho enc. mica of the Demosratio party and of the . Union. This man has made the circle of politics, having been on all sides, ending his onreer by worshipping James Buchanan, after having pub licly and insolently assailed him. Ifeim, being at the head of the electoral ticket, and the represent ative of Buchanan, Breckinridge, Yancey, end Disunion; of personal hostility to Douglas; of Know•Nothingism, and of opposition to popular sovereignty—the vote thrown for him is to be hold up as an evidence that the Democratic organisa tion of Pennsylvania is in favor of all these shame less heresies. I speak whereof I know. Public Amusements. Thoro is literally next to nothing to bo said &out theatrical and suoh performances of the past week. At Aroh-street Theatre, the Monkey Boy' , will be repeated twice—this evening and tomor row. It is a piece better noted than written. - The great exertions of the performers have alone made It tolerablo bore. On Wednesday evening, Mr. Edwin Booth commences an engagement here, and will draw large houses of course—for he always does. Upon " The Dead Heart," and the bold ex aggeration of the announcements respecting it in the advertisements and bills—as "the novelty of the age," and the chef d'ecavre of the Nineteenth Century—we have already spoken fully and freely. The piece Is a good sensation drama, with some striking situations Mr. Edwin Adams and Mr. Wright, as Landry and Latour, have shown them selves good actors; of the two, Mr. Wright is the most artistioal in this part—though Mr. Adams is a better general actor. Miss C. Jefferson end Mr. Bowers also merit praise. Mrs. Gladstone did little more than look pretty as Uathertna Duval— 's part which may be said to net itself. She ranked as only a accond•rete performer when a member of the Aroh-street company some two yenre ego, and hoe not improved since. At Niblo's, in New York, where the "Dead Heart" was brought out on Thursday, the newspapers tell us that Mra. Con way played the part of Catherzne Duval, with thrilling earnestness and effect, which shows what Mrs. Gladstone ought to have made of it, but did not. A pretty face does not alone make a good actress In performing, "handsome is that hand some does " Bat we refrain from dwelling on this lady's palpable inefficieuey. '• The Dead Heart" will bo played all this week, end probably next wook also, for, without an unplagiarized itaid_cnt or character in it, it is en attraetive piece. A striking temperance drama, entitled " Ten Nights in a Bar-Room," founded on T. S. Arthur's very feeble story so named, has drawn crowds to McDonough's Olympia Theatre, (Race street, ,bo low Third,) during the past week, and will be re pented this evening, for the last time. Coadelia Howard has a leading part in this play, and the other characters aro well sustained by a very good stock company. There will boa Matinbe at the Olympic on next Saturday afternoon. Those who attend it will see a very pretty theatre, and very good performances. At Sanford's, there Is a new burlesque called The Prince of Wales' Ball," full of fun, like all the eccentricities produced at this establishment. Mr. Dixoy appears as the Prince, and Mr A'Beeket as the Duko of Newcastle. There aro numerous other performances of an amusing na ture at Santord's every evening. Madigan's American Consolidated Circus Com• pany, at the Continental Theatre, (what a number of C's, to be sure! ) have made a decided hit. The equestrian scenes aro capital, andPeaoh mem. ber of tho company is distinguished for some so cially. surprising or amusing. Van Amburgh's Menagerie is in town, exhibit ing thrice a day, and commencing at 10 this fore noon, at tho corner of Tenth and Oallo:shill streets. There aro two sots of performing animals. Mr. Langworthy, in this show, takes Van Aar:burgh's place, and is raid to have wonderful command over the wild animals. This is iho Wizard of the North's last week. His arrangements are, Monday, Qom Victoria's pro gramme; Tueaday, the Emperor Napoleon's; Wednesday, the American; Thursday, benefit of Miss Anderson, the wonderful clairvoyant; Fri day, the Wizard's own benefit; Saturday, the ho. milt of Misses Eliza and Flora Anderson and the Wizard's Farewell speech, and en Saturday, at 2 P.

To THE EDITORS OF THE SUNDAY DISPATCH— Gentleman I ask the privilege of baying through your paper, as affording the earliest opportunity, that the account of the anti-slavery meeting at Kennett Square in this morning's Press is grossly unjust to the society which held it, and personally injurious to some of its members. It contains things that aro not true, and perverts others that are, in a way to give them the effect of falsehoods. I acquit the editor and proprietor of all inten tion, in this matter, to do injustioe. The article was inserted by a reporter, who had, doubtless, purposes to serve, inconsistent, in his judgment, with a strictly truthful statement of foots As secretary of the society, and correspondent of a newspaper, I had made a faithful report of all the proceedings, a part of which, at his request, I gave the reporter. He thanked me, and hoped I would not be disappointed when I should,see an account In print, as he would have to dress it up end "put a flash heading to it, in the style of the New York Herald." I said I did not care how ho headed it, or what he added, if only he published the pro ceedings faithfully. 1 was willing to trust them for a refutation of any unfounded comment or in ference of which they might be made the subject. But I End, on opening the paper this morning that a largo portion of the proceedings are omitted ; that others, written In the flash and perversive style of Bennett's Herald, are added, and that the whole is presented in a form so incoherent and defective, and in some of its parts so exaggerated, as to make a most unjust and injurious impression, I don't believe the writer meant any harm to the Anti-Slavery Booiety or any of its members ; he acted under a false impression of tho rights and duties of a newspaper reporter. His object was to get up a sensation article, and in doing E 0 to per beim subserve oertain other purposes deemed by him important at thisconjunoture. Ho was doubt lees also under the impression that a dish thus cooked and served would be more acceptable to the owners of the paper, and more palatable to its readers, than a plain ungarniehed statement of facts ; an Impression, which, in justice to both, I believe to be wholly unfounded. Wo Abolitionists must rest under the aggravated odium of this article with what patience we can. Such burdens we are accustomed to bear. We can bide our time till the slow, but certain march of truth brings our vindication. The injustice done to ffir. Purvis, however, by the wanton reckless ness of this article, might possibly prove more serious. Ills position is somewhat peculiar, and to make him an objaot of hostile observation at a time of excitement like the present, is, both for his and other people's peace, a rather dangerous experiment. I will conclude by saying that if anybody wants to see a correct report of what was said and done at the Kennett-Square meeting, they may find it at this office in the forthcoming (next Satur day's) number of the Anti-Slavery Standard. Respectfully yours, MoKist, Corresponding Secretary of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. FURTHER FROM EUROPE The Steamship Illinois at Halifax.

BARBECUE IN THE TWENTIETH WARD.— The ex-roasting on the Ridge avenue, opposite the passenger railway depot, was the occasion of stir ring and humorous scenes on Saturday last. It bad been announced that a huge Allegheny ox would be roasted with a calf and sheep The ant mils consisted of an ox, weighing 745 pound' colt weighing 286 pounds, and a sheep of wards. The ox was put over the fire on Friday learning; tho calf and sheep were sent to the bakers and appeared upon the grounds at three o'clock P. Ti!., in a number of smoking stewpans. Tho ox was chained or spitted en a pole or axis, which wss made to turn over a hot fire ; the drippings' of grease fell into an under lying trough of boiling water, which, as each unctuous drop mingled therein, steamed and hissed in a 'very violent man ner. The appearance of the ox wound upon the axis, an apparent mass of putridity, the flavor of which freighted the breeze with nausea, was cal culated to disgust all delicate perceptions. The crowd was very largo, comprising every va riety of individuals, irom the juvenile retailer of peanuts to the beef-eater in the sore and yellow loaf The grounds presented the usual spectacle inci dent to such demonstrations A number of urchins hitched themselves by a long rove to asmall wagon on woodsn wheels, and ran the ox bide around the lot. The spot, it may be mentioned, stands on the Ridge avenue, immediately opposite the spot where the celebrated mail robbery was committed in 1830, or thereabout, by Porter and Wilson. In one plane we found the small woman, designed as " ono of the seven wonders of the world.' The other six, in the shape of some bipeds in knit.jaok ets, and pants of hyena plaid, stood curiously around, variegating the showman's descriptive re marks by some extemporaneous witticisms more pointed than delicate. There was a beggarly array of national flip hanging in a sulky, criminal way from a few stumpy poles. Under these emblems of the thirty odd sovereign States, almost as many vendors of the national beverage dispensed yeastic beer at a half dime a mug. Tho lad with peanuts was also represented, and miniature gingerbread, mounted on wheels, peregrinated from end to end of the green expanse. The roast, by which we have separate and dis tinct reference to the ox, was pronounced worthy of distribution at four o'clock. Thereupon, with the assistance of a stumpy black man, a butcher proceeded to out from the haunches, shoulders, and ribs, sundry fragments of the average dimensions of a unman hand, with which a half dozen tea waiters wore heaped. These, being placed upon a table, were seasoned with copious quantities of salt, and ouch slice sandwiched with sea-biscuit. Au individual then mounted the table, and said that at the blowing of the bugle, the "feed" would bo given out. Straightway the crowd, which had been slowly accumulating around the enclosure, was agitated as with a sudden hunger and the call for " grub" became very grievous. The dividing fence was shaken almost in twain, until a stalwart policeman tore off a plank and belabored the rowdies. Tho bugle was blown; the rush was tremendous The " groat unwashed" set up a fearful shout, and the meat was " meted out." Volumes of crackers were tossed over the Sea of heads; a slice of beef was tossed full into some gazer's face, dripping its disgusting liquor over coats and hats. Even this did not avail, and suddenly rallying, the table and stand were broken down by the rowdies, who filled the area, made way with the beef and completed the disgusting picture. Thus passed away more than a thousand pounds of beef. We saw one wee begone man who carried a basket, repulsed from the table; the fragments which the ruffians, who were fed, trampled under foot, might have gladdened hie ohearless dinner the following Sunday. And in the blighted meadows of Kansas, where thousands of woman and children era creeping In want and praying that the aurae of famine may he removed, the magnificent ox would hero been an argument quite as effectual no the ory in the East of " land for the landless " The meeting was called to order about 4 o'clock P. M. lion. John Wood presided, with a long list of vice presidents and aearotarles. David New. port, EN, of Montgomery county, wag the first speaker. Ile spoke at considerable length, argu ing that the Republican party woe a truly coneer• votive organization, and claiming that it was:the duty of all national men to unite with it, in order to plume Abraham Lincoln in power, with the moral support of a clear majority of the whole popular vote in his favor. Mr. N. wee followed by John Dolman, Eiq., who was particularly effective in his remarka. John M. Dutton, Jan Wood, Wm. Moran, W. M. Bull, W. B Mann, John E. Newport, and other speakers followed ; and the meeting did not adjourn till a late hoar in the afternoon. It was throughout a very large and quite splendid gathering FIRE IN WALNUT L .: TRIM—DAMAGE $lO,- 000 —On Saturday afternoon, about four o'olook, a fire broke cut in the five story brick building, No. 130 Walnut street, below Second, and for is while it threatened to prove very destructive. In the basement of the building Mr. Charles P. Ralf hod some 200 bales of cotton packed away, and in this portion of the building the fire originated. Mr. Rolf, with his head porter, had gone to the collar for the purpose of counting the boles, the lost of which had just boon deposited. They took with them an encload lantern, when the porter stumbled, and, falling, broke the glass, and than ignited the loose cotton. Bath Mr. Rolf and the pastor endeavored to extinguish the flames, but withisut rucleas, and they then gave the alarm. The firemen were nail on the ground, and al -1 though the floe was confined to the cellar, it burned stubbornly for over four hours. Water was turned into the cellar, but owing to the drains leading to the D:ck.street culvert, great difficulty was ex, , erionced in flooding out the fire, whims persis'ecl is smouldering among the packed cotton. It was not until the water in the culvert was bucket up that the fire gave way to tho hremeu. The less of Mr. Relf is estimated at about $3.000, which is fully covered by insurance. The conduct of the firemen was admirable, and clic; tcd the warmest admiration of the merchants. In the upper portions of the building there was a qmmtity of valuable goods. On the first floor, Messrs. Patterson cE Bolton had samples of liquor, and them were damaged by the smoke. The FO cond story was occupied by Charles Tete, Ma torttr of fine cigars, of which there was about _' , 5,000 worth in store. In the fourth story, Mr. Fstocis Peters had $2 000 worth of furniture stored y and in the fifth story a stock of whisky and other liquors was stored. and owned by Messrs. Mackey v Wallace. Hone of these gentlemen suffered from the water. At an early hour, Chief Engineer Lyle issued orders to the firemen prohibiting them from throwing water into any part of the building except the basement. Hare the floors were cut through to facilitate operations, and the only water used was on this portion of the building. Thus the damage was mostly by rmoke, except to the cotton, end the whole less will be about $lO,OOO, whiob is covered by insurance The steam-fire engine of Dr. Jayne was in use by the Southwest; Hose Company, and did effective service. The buildings on tho oast and wed of the burn. ing store wore somewhat damaged by the water which ran into the cellars.

[AP planes.] MR. REEDER'S ADDRESS Governor Reeder woo then Introduced. After thank ing the meeting for their cordial reception, he proceed ed to discuss the policy of agitating the questions of the dep. 'Change is the order oi the day, and it is the win (tom of Providence in governing the universe. This will he found to pervade the animal and vegetable life, in all the world of mind and matter. All is change, universal change, except truth itself, which remains forever fixed. With this as a starting point the speaker proceeded to castigate those claiming to Le "°onset valve" who are forever denouncing . this " agitation." These phi losophers would have the world stand still. They ig nore the agitation going on alt around them, and they were very much in the condition of the mall who stood at the door of 14 Gales ark and refused to take passage, concluding that it wasn't rein; to be much of a shower, after all! There is another class of philosophers, who expect the Democratic) party to cure all the ills of this life. The speaker had, n, t long ago, met one of these philoso phers, who had every reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of his party towards him, but he persisted in sticking to it because it was the Democratic party. There were many things in this contest of which the R e publican party could bo proud, but there were two things of which they had particular reason to let I pride. Ono thing was that their opponents did not attempt to meet them and combat their principles, as Oct forth in their public declaration of principles—their oreed and proclamation. c.nother thing was that all the other Parties ti ere in no fear of each other, but were disposed to unite nosiest the Republican party, hoping thatwhen the lvg fight was over, and the big enemy slain, they would have some chance in the seramble to ensue. Tim speaker then reviewed the different parties. corn moncing with that of Gerrit Pmith, whose principles of negio-stealing differed in but one resent front those entertained south of Mason & Dixon's lino. The negro • stealer in the Fouth took the black from his home and his country for gain, while the negrn-stealer in the North helps the negro to steal himself from the noires s iv. for the purposes of humanity Next the" Conser vatives." who want everything to stand still. They. however, were not worth while wasting time over, an they had shown their strength in the Late contest. They were thy victims of their own invention. In their de- . . . • • • sire to ienore everything. they bad even ignored the election: [applause.] But they deserved credit for their success en propagandists of their own principles. They have so far eucceeded that they have made converts of the Democracy, and that party now ignores them! The two wings now claimed the attention of the speaker. and they received some hard hits. Reclaimed for too Rcpubhcars that they now upheld the principle. which had at first belonged to Dea.ooraeY, as established to Thomas Jefferson. He said allthere Wan of value and of rub tones in the creed of Democracy IS now to he found oat+ fin Re publicanism. Ile life and soul and heart and brain we have, while two deinomliztd factions are fighting over its empty and shrivelled skin.' One of these fac tions (or parties, if you will) has a singular history. and a singular composition. Born of an accident. and against the will of its founder. he would have gutted it it he could, after its immediate purpose was served, hut it had grown into a power and a consoientiommess which was beyond his reach, and it oompelled him to a course of action which he had never contemplated. Composed, therefore. of a set of followers mostly honest, patriotic, and sincere. tied to a leader whose correct ambition overleaps all those eonsiderations, and whose dogged resolution is his only recommenda tion. warred upon by the African Democracy with a bitterness unparalleled, and its prominent men out lawed and proscribed forever by their former menet atee, it is impossible that its organisation can be long 'interned, unless it can get the control of the politics of 'he South. It is true that Mr. Douglas had the best of the argu ment on the score of consistency in creed • but when we know that the great virtue of the party is to be progressive in the advocacy of slavery. t hat would scorn to be of little account, especially as his enemies charge that lie agreed to move on with them in that direction, if the Supreme Court would lead the way, which it has done That he would have kept Dos pledge when he crone back to the Senate cannot be doubted. He had melted a party for his re.election. which. whea that was accomplished, had served his purpose; and he wen ready to dispense with them. But they were men whose wonscienoes and judgments revolted at the increasing demand for fealtyto slavery and whose manhood was aroused at the in telerade arrogance of the slave power, even inside of the party. They demanded of their leader a per manence of organization , and a resistance to these demands, which,however it surprised and annoyed him, compel ed obedience. Thia was the chanter of accidents that gave rice to the Douglas party. With these honest friends at the North demanding of him to stand firm, with his ambition and hie touthern friends drawing him forward, inconsistencies of doctrine in his essays and hie speeches were a necessary consequence. To Once them up would be an amusing and interesting task, but time does not serve. Suffice ft to say that he has met these exigencies in a manner that few men could have done, and that he owes his success in this to his audaoity, his ability, and the absence of all scru ples. But what shall we say of the other fragment—the ruling. controlling power, e s it certainly is, of the party. I insist that it has well earned its title of the African Democracy. That organization. call it what you will, is in this contest our natural and prominent foe. Our issues are with them. We are Antagonistic in identical lines throughout. We take isms with them on every disputable point. term the questions of protection to American labor, of gratuitous lends to the free white man, and upon the rent overriding quote ion of slaveryextension, extension, wo face email other with well-understood.dt. varsity of ornion. But whatever the questions of dis pute may which ere cannot tracelect of contention be tween us we back to the question of slave and free labor. Labor of one kind or the other is indispensable to a nation as blood or breath to the human body. Experience line shown that the freeman and the slave cannot and will not occupy the same field. The one demands, and is entitled to hare, as a part of the reward for performance of his duties to (moiety. the respect of the comely, full toleration in equal rights, unobstructed accesta lies high places of society if he can climb there, a corn or support for himself and family. and the means of educating his clrldren. The free working man is not only entitled to these as a matter of undoubted naked right, but he is only a. dumb man and a blind one, cumbering the busy paths of life to little purpose, who cannot see the t. as a mere matter of policy, it is the highest and plainest interest of society to grant them; and that 'humanity and right aside) the working man will cost the residue of society less in this condition than in a condition of degrada tion. The slave does not demand. and as a stare alone is not entitled to, any of these, for if he had them he would he no slave. Under the se stem of slave labor he onn be allowed no rights, hardly that of life Education and information must he denied tom. All the coma sin of food, and lodging, and clothing which he gots are to as' gauged by the necessity of preserving. the health and strength which are the property of hie master, and of stimulating his forced labor.
