The News. We have two days later news from Europe by the Adriatic, which arrived at New York yester day, with advices to the 25th ult. Garibaldi had entered Capua, and Lamoriciere was to return to France. There was a statement that the ambassa dors of Prussia, Spain, and Portugal were about to leave Turin. Victor Emmanuel was to enter Na ples on the 28th of October. The Pope had as sured the French minister that he had no intention of abandoning Rome. It wm semi-officially stated in Parls that Napoleon would preserve the policy of , non-intervention in Italy. The Emperor of Austria was lightening the burdens of bis Hunga rian subjects, and had made Important concessions loathe people of that country. Representation was accorded to all classes, and the system of personal service to land-lords abolished/ The charter had been favorably received, the Hungarian Diet was about to be convened, mid .the Emperor crowned 'King of Hungary. The Liverpool cotton market' was quiet but steady, the sales being estimated at 8,000 bales. Consols were quoted at 031. An abstract of the advices of the Persia, two days and a half later than those furnished by the Ad'rtatic, have been received from 42ep* Race, which point was passed by the Persia on Satur day. ■ Italian affairs were unchanged. The muoh ; dreaded conference of the sovereigns at Warsaw bad adjourned. There were many rnmors of an un reliable character in circulation relative to its de liberations and their effect on European affairs, but ucne of thera were worthy of credence. It was' •add that tke principle of a European Congress had beeaagrWd Upon. There was also a. statement that Austrti had invoked the mediation of France for the pbiosablo solution of the Italian question. A commrmieatioh is printed in the New Tork f Herald 'to tie effect that tho outrage perpe trated at Rio Hack# (New Granada)' by the revo lutionary tr oops, agrinat the person of our consul and thelUg of the United States^haa been prompt ly! redressed by Captain Poor, of the sloop-cf*war St. Louis- Captain Poor demanded that the Ame : risen flag should be hoisted by two Granadlanoffi oers/th** the troops should : ffie under it, and after wards salute it with three volleys. The authsri 3fti at flrtt endeavored to evade giving this Mti«- frttion, but Captain Poor was peremptory, and they were compelled to comply with bU terms. Sm Hollidaysburg, Pa,,th»t bn Tfahiway night, a special agent of the, Geyim meat arrested John A. McConnell, assistant post . maatar. at Newry, Blair county, Psnna., on the charge of robbing the mall. Mr. McConnell was •ommltted in default of ball to await his trial at the next term of the United States Distrlot Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The latest news from Salt Lake City Is to Octo ber Bth. A correspondent of the es uys that the Mormon Saints, on the 6th of October, opened their semi-annual Conference, which lasted two days, and was attended by the most prominent members of the Church. On the second day Elder Orson Hyde delivered a lengthy discourse* and gave his views on the present political condi tion of the tJulted States. He predicted-that the Union would be dissolved; that the negroes would be let loose upon their masters *, that the South i would bo compelled to call in the Bid of Great Britain, who, In her turn, would bo compelled to oall In aid from Some other quarter, and concluded by prophesying a great and terrible day of wrath for this oountry for their injnstioo to the Mormons. The Conference was the largest over held in the city, some thirteen thoneand persons having at tended it. Judge Kinney and Mr Rogers, the Indian agent, had arrived at Salt Lake City. i-u.h.BA,M. 8 P.M. We learn from the Herald that the Moses Tay lor, Captain Gowan, whioh loft Now York on the 28th of Jnly, arrived in Lota, Chile, on the 16th of September, having coaled at Rio Janeiro. Inlat. 30 24 8., long 5320 W.,fell in with school of sperm whales, and wore three hoars In passing through them. Sopt. 7, passed French ship Sousabay, of Havre, Cor Valparaiso. Sopt. 8, passed Cope Virgin, and were boarded by a boat from the wreok of the bark Lantaro, of Valparaiso, and took on board sixteen men, women, and ohildren, aad brought thorn to Lota. A Chilean man-of-war wa® sent to watoh the Granada and Moses Taylor, as reports were in oironlatiou that these steamers were loaded with arms and ammunition, and were about to ongage in Borne filibustering enterprise. Much excitement prevailed dnring the stay of the vessels. The Moses Taylor was to sail on the 24th instant, for San Franoisoo via Panama. The Granada sailed on the 16th Inst., and was lost on tho 13th o! Oetober in San Franolßoo harbor. - Ey reference to our city ooinmna it will he scon that a large haul of counterfeit money was m&do last night by the police, at the honse of a person well known in police olroles. The notes are all on the Western Bank of this olty, and as it is not im probable that some of them may already have been uttered, storekeepers and others had bettor be oantions. The Breckinridge Hunting Day. This Dat is memorable in our country's annals on more than one accuunt. It is the day (of quadrennial recurrence) when the people of the United States elect their Presi dent and Vice President. But it deserves to bo held in perpetual remembrance, likewise, as the day, on which, anno Domini 1848, Major John C. Bbeokisbidoe, of Kentucky, •cent hauling! On this day, in that year, tho Democracy of this great nation were en gaged in a hard-fought contest to elect to the first and second offices in their gift, the veteran Lewis Oass, and the brave and accom plished William 0. Butleb. Well do wo re collect the campaign, for wo ourselves partici pated in it actively. Inch by inch was it con tested in every State of the Union. Owing chiefly to the military halo that encircled the name ot Gen. Zaobabt Tatlob, who was then frosh from the victorious battle-fields of Mexico, the Democracy was defeated. On that memorable day, when this great po litical struggle was to he finally decided—at the very zenith of the issue—when the ap peal : “To the Polls I To the Polls /” echoed through every hill and valley—tho “gallant” Bbeoeinbidoe, heedless ol the cry, did not himself condescend to go to the ballet-box to deposit his own vote! That was non-inter vention, with a vengeance. Let the future historian take note, too, that it was not a fish ing excursion that took the “ gallant Major ” abroad on election day. It was a ram-rod ho carried, not a fishing-rod. Ho was equipped with powder and shot, not with hook and lino. He was pursuing squirrels and snipe, not pike and perch, salmon and snekers. One matter we deeply regret—the absence of details. What kind of gnn did the Major cany 7 Was it of the Colt or Dcringer manufacture—a Sharpe or a “Minie? Was it single bar relled or double 7 Did it employ flint or per mission 7 And how much game did the Major bag on that November day 7 What quantity of squirrel, gray, black, and brown 7 Any ro bins and woodcock, Major? What lack among the ground-hogs and opossums?. And how does the Major despatch Ms birds—sitting or on the wing ? How nmny hounds had he along 7 How long absent, Major 7 Did the resnlt of tho voting become known to yon only alter your return, or did you learn it when yet “in the woods?” These are specifications on which present and future generations should ' But, badinage aside, we ckßrfxkvorj grave apprehensions that tbe example ot the “ gal lant Major” will exercise a most injurious effect on his own Presidential prospects, to be determined to.-day. Wo fear, the voters, on whom he depends, will imitate his own evij example, and employ this important day in shooting birds. That will be a sufficient apology for the Major's defeat, which his friends may with propriety urge. Forgetful of tho Presidential election, they will only remember this as Tee Breckinridge Hunt ing Dat. ces cftwe&tv ing resided in Peaceable Elections* It is a source of great satisfaction to order loving citizens, of all parties, in Philadel phia, that by the large number of our elec tion districts, ample time is afforded to every legal voter to deposit his ticket, oven if the qualifications of those who are challenged are carefully examined. There is but little ex- 1 case for attracting a large and excited crowd around any of our polls, and therefore it re quires but comparatively little attention from the police to preserve order, and to prevent everything approaching to a serious election riot. In times of angry and excited political feeling, it would be almost impossible, if so large a number of persons voted at any one place as to render it doubtful whether there would be time for all to deposit their ballots, to prevent serious outbreaks. In some of the divisions of New York city this is said to be the case now, and consequently apprehen sions are entertained of disturbances there to day. It seems, however, that she has 217 district's, and as she has never yet polled as many votes as Philadelphia did at the recent Gubernatorial election, there is probably only a very few divisions which really contain an inconveniently large voting population. The terrible election riots at Baltimore, several years ago, were doubtless owing, in a great measure, to tbe fact that toolargo a number of excited partisans were necessarily collected at each poll, and among the measures adopted to check them, none has been more effective than the increase in the number of election districts. It should be a.part of tho settled policy of every city to promptly create new voting places as rapidly aB the increase of population in any quarter indicates a necessity for them. The Camden and Amboy Monopoly. There is no corporation In this country which has more frequently and offensively un dertaken to meddle in and control politics than the Camden and Amboy Railroad monopoly. It has one of the most profitable lines in the world, hut, instead of spending a fair portion of' its immense revenues in discharging its proper duty to the public, it appropriates them ou tho one hand to making millionaires of its largo stockholders and prime favorites, and on the other to corrupting the politicians of New Jersey and binding her people hand and foot as its abject slaves. It is inspired by none of the generons and proper feeling of other leading lines, to keep pace with the march of modern improvement, to have a safe double track, to erect handsome and commo dious depots, to add to the comfort and con venience of passengers, to charge reasonable fares—bnt.it treats the immense number of persons wbo are compelled to travel between Philadelphia and New York as victims placed at its mercy, and its constant study is, flrßt, how to obtain the largest amount ef money for the smallest return in comfort and safety from thcso # passengers, and second, how to retain an overshadowing influence over New Jersey politics, so that all Its monopolizing privileges may be perpetuated. Heath of a Worthy Citizen. Anthony Morris, formerly of Philadelphia, but for many years past residing with his daughter, Mrs. Nourae, at tho Highlands, near Georgetown, District of Columbia, died on the 3d instant, in the ninety-fifth year of his age. In early life Mr. Morris represented this olty in the State Senate, and In 1790 w« the presiding officer of that body. During the Administration of President Madison he represented oar ooustry at the Court of Bpain. He has outlived all the companions of. his early days, and, apart from his numerous connections in this oity, there are few now living who knew him exsept through the history of tho past.

European Politics. 'By the steamer Adriatic, which arrived at ifew York yesterday, we have received files of the Times and Daily News to the 2Gtk Oc tober inclusive: that is, London journals only nine days old. Tho information which they communicate is of the greatest interest and importance. By this time, the whole of Italy, with tho exception of Venetia and a portion ot tho States of tho Church, is under the sway of Victor Emmanuel. Sardinia and Piedmont, by hereditary succession; Lombardy, by the conquest and- annexation of last year; the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, by unanimous vote of the inhabitants; the Ro magna, and other Papal, provinces, by tho same process, and what was tho kingdom of the Two Sicilies, by a general ballot in his favor. To all intents and purposes, Victor Emmanuel is now Ring of Italy. The Pope, with sound judgment, has deter mined not to quit Romo. While there , he is still Head of tho Church, and not only Napo leon, but all other Catholic rulers in Europe, will give him a certain degree of support, which will mako him continue a very import ant personage. Removed from “ tho Eternal City,” the Popo would lose much of his pres tige. While there, however limited his terri tory and his revenue, he will occupy the chair of St. Peter, and, as a Prince-Spiritual, continue to receive the homage of the mil lions of Roman Catholics all over the world. It is scarcely likely that Rome will bocome the seat of Victor Emmanuel's extended sovereignty. On tho 28th October, this bold and fortunate monarch was to have made his entry into Naples, as its chosen ruler. His position is very pe culiar. Franco and Russia have with drawn their ambassadors from his Court at Turin. Prussia, Spain, and Portugal are about doing tho same. Austria has no diplo matic relations with Victor Emmanuel. He is believed to bo secretly backed by France, and Protestant England gives this Catholic King very undisguised support against the Popo, his spiritual ruler. 1 here is not much chance that, for the present, ot least, Yiotor Emmanuel will be interrupted in his brilliant career. The result of tho Royal conferences at Warsaw is said to amount to this: That Aus tria and Russia, having adjusted their differ ences, shall unite with Prussia to form an other t{ Holy Alliance,” tho purposo of which will be to act on the.defensive against France. Under the foreign administration of George Canning, England withdrew from tho original Holy Alliance, some thirty-six years ago, and her secession led to its dissolution. Tho now compact will virtually array the three great Powers, whose rulers have met at Warsaw, as champions of Absolutism, against France, England, and Italy, tho advocates of Progress. It cannot bo either successful or permanent. Earned by tho lessons of the last two years, Austria at length has made concessions to Hungary of .such a liberal character, as, if fairly carried into effect, will probably quell discontent in that'oldest of her hereditary pos sessions. Tho heads of this Magna Charta will be found in another part of to-day's impres sion. It has been well received in Hun gary, and tho same privileges are to be imme diately extended to Transylvania. Lot Fran cis* Joseph cast aside the traditional Absolu tism of his family, and really act as if he wished in truth to bo the Father of his people, ! andhe may, even yet, succeed in arresting tbe ruin which has been long impending ovor his empire. But ho must not do these things by halves. Not alone Hungary and Transylvania, but also Venetia and every other misgoverned part of the Austrian Empire should partici pate in the privileges, in the constitutional rights which can alone bo tho basis of national prosperity. Even yet, Francis-Joseph may retrieve tho falling fortunes of his race and realm. What Victor Emmanuel thiDks of his posi tion may be gathered from tho following: “One of tho memborßof the Neapolitan depu tation who went to present an address to the King of Sardinia gives tho following as tho language used by his Majesty on tbe occasion : ‘I am not aotuated by motives of personal ambition, but we must constitute an Italy. It matters little to mo whether I am king of 4,000,000 or 24,000,000 of people; hut it is of great importance that a people belonging to tho same race, and speaking the same language, should have the satno oountry, and that that country should bo independent. If WO only . a note from her through the Emperor ot tinr French, whioh was full ot passion I oaro little for it. Austria let slip the favorable moment for attaoking me. Bbe is preparing for noxt spring; but then, with your assistance, 2 shall have4oo,ooo men in arms, and Italians, thank God! still.know how to fight. Tho Pope himsolf now writes to me with kindness. Tho Powers of Europe are dis pleased ; they are pouting, but none of them ex cept Austria tbroatoos. Wo nro acting like per sons in our own homes. Europe will at last recog nize that we have justice and right on our side. I am. satisfied with Garibaldi; ho may bo a little ca pricious, bat Italy has no noblor son. I havo bo* veral times offered to givo him artillery, but he refused the offer. He thinks hocantako Capui by a bayonet charge. Tell your compatriots, gen tlemen, that I eh oil not cease to bo for all Italy what I have been for my little Piedmont. I shall perform my duty as king and soldier: Jet us all do our duty as Italians. Bear in mind that we do not yet pottees tho key of our house ; but from this day forward wo can s&y that Italy exists. Let us hopo and persovero.’ ” The New Play at Arch-Street Theatre. Last night, for his benefit, which was “a bumper,” Edwin Booth produced a new play, in three acts, entitled “Tho Fool’s Revenge,” from the prolific pen of Tom Taylor. It is, Indeed, a tragedy—'With some striking characters-—written in (remarkably) blank verse, but having the lead ing part fairly doveloped, and the action well wrought up to produco a striking finale. The aoting, particularly of Booth, was good enough to redeem even inferior authorship. Before we sketch the plot, wo may as well Indi* oate the source whence It hss mainly been derived. In 1832, Vfotor Hugo wrote a ploy called Le Rot s*Amuse i the performance of which was prohibited by tho Frenoh Government, becauso Francis the First was introduced, playing seme very un-Kfng ty, or, at least, unmanly tricks. In this aro two oharaoters — Tnbouht , tho King’s Jester, and ' Blanche, the daughter. In 1851, Verdi brought out, at Venice, an opera called “ Rigolotto,” which was performed at our Academy of Muslo, in 1853 and In 1859. In this, Rigoletto corre* apond to ' Tnbouht and Blanche in Vidor Hugo’s play. Mr. Tom Taylor, who has adapted “The Fool’s Revenge,” with some ohango of plot, besides that the character of the Fool baa been written up into additional importance, gives the names of Bertuccio and Fiordchsa to his two lead ing parts. The soene is in Faenza; tho time 1488. Gale' otto Manfredi, Sovereign Lord of Faonza, ismar riod to a high-born damn , named Francesca, Ben tivaglio—beautiful, proud, and jealous. Manfredi is a profligate, and bis principal companions are three nobles—worlhy of snob a master. Therois, also, an old captain, named Malatesta, with a young and pretty wife. Attached to tbe Oourt, alio, is a poet and improvisatoro, named Dell' Aquilla. Many years before the action of this dramaoommenoeß, Bertuccio, then bearing another name In another place, was a notary, happy with a lovely wife and their infant daughter. Malatesta, a young gallant in those days, falls in love with the wife, and takes her by force from her home. All that the wronged husband ever learns, is tho name of the Tarquin, and tbe subsequent death of tho wife. Hunchbacked and lame, yet with a ready wit, and a sarcastic tongue, •* The stinging of a heart the world hath stung,” us Byron says, he enters the servico of Manfredi , as Oourt Fool, and becomes a favorite His objeot in going to Faenza, in this capacity, is that he may work out hia rovongo upon old Malatesta, who has made bis home and heart desolate. For tunately for this purpose. Manfredi has a guilty passion for Ginevra, wife of Malatesta , and is porsuaded by Bertuccio to steal her away, at night, from her own dwelling to hia palace. After tbe scheme has been arranged, Bertuccio pro mising to aid in carrying it out, one of Manfredi 1 s companions speaks of a beautiful youog woman, wbo lives in retirement, and is sccrotly visited by Bertuccio. No one knows wbo sbo is, but it isun-, charitably suspected that sbo Is Bertuccio’s mis tress. The noblos, who hfivo boon stung by tho Fool’s jibes, think it would pay him off to help Manfredi , then lord, to take her away from him, and bind DcW Aguilla , the poet, who knows and loves, but has never spoken to her, not to disclose their intention to the Fool. He Tctircs, with the resolve, however, to warn and proteot her. The second Act opens in thehumbio apartment inhabited by Bertuccio’s daughter. Here, in the young maiden’s absence, her attendant, an old maid named Bngitta, (is there not oven yet, a Bridget, as well as a skeleton, in every house?) who has a remarkable laok of porsonal charms, is humbugged by simulated lovo addressed to her by one of Manfredi s profligate oonfidants, whose name we do not remember, but would recognize him among a thousand by his white surcoat and the ruddy stockings, which made hia legs look like lego of red sealing-wax. [Another of the nobles wore a gTay upper garment, with hanging sleeves and orimson lining, which was a oross be tween an overcoat and a. cloak: he woro it night and morning, and probably his Lordship slept in it.l The scone between this noble and Bngitta Wot a lively relief to the prevailing seriousnoes of the play. Miss Wells, who aoted the old maiden waiting-maid to the life, showed a great talent for ecoontrio oomedy, and her msko-up was wonder fully good. None but a decidedly well-looking woman could% ave the moral oouiage so to change THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESH her face. The young riofcle, wMle this ancient flame quits the place to fetch her young mistrosa from church, conceals Mmself, behind the arras, with Manfredi , and presently Fiorddisa, the Fool’s daughter, who knows not what or who her father Is, oomes In, (attired with great correctness of oostume, which looked very graceful,) and listens to the tinkling of a guitar, played, she sue peots, by a stranger whom she had often noticed on her way to and return from ohuroh, and who is the Poet. Mr. Shewell played this part, whioh is rather short, with very great ability. His dress was picturesque and becoming, and, from first to last, he never once overstepped nature and truth. Ho has learned, at last, we hope, that a subdued and natoral manner Is better than the tendency to exaggeration to whioh he sometimes yields. The Duke and his worthy friend, oonoealod, as we have said, witness as interview between Bertuccio and his daughter, in whioh the latter learns the wrongs which the former has sustained, and the life-long purpose of revenge whioh sustains him, but does not learn his namo or calling. In this visit, he has laid aside Ms “mot ley” garb. The scene between father and daugh ter was powerfully played, and here Mr. Booth showed himself indeed to be a great artist, capable of moving the emotions of his audienoo. In the first Aot he was, porhaps, a little too demonstra tive in his soliloquy, his self-communion, but here, and hence to tho oloso of the play, nobody could have sustained the part bettor. After he retires, the Poet (Shewell) comes in through the balcony, warns Fiorddisa (Mies Emma Taylor) of the plot for her abduction, delioately avows bis own passion, and offers her assistance to bear her away to a place of safety. Confiding in him, she accepts his oompanionship to the residence of the Countess Malatesta, who has once before resouod her from insult. It !b net quite dear why or how Manfredi and his friend behind the arras, allow the poet and tho maiden to depart. In the next scene, wo have tho poet and his fair charge beforo the residence of Malatesta, who oomes out, mentions that bis wife (Mrs. Murphy) has gone out of the city, but places her in the asylum of his wife’s chamber, with suitable attendance. Manfredi (Mr. G. W. Gile) comes in when the coast is dear, with his companions and Bertuccio (Mr. Booth), and ascends into the lady’s chamber, by means of a ladder whioh Bertuccio holds, and hearß away hot the wife of Malatesta bet the daughter of Bertuccio, who riots in the joy of gratified revenge at the belief that he has paid off Malatesta, wife for wife. This oondudos the se* oond Aot. Now the interost begins to oulmlnate. Fiords lisa finds herself in a strange and splendid house. Manfredi , informing her who he is and that her father is his Court Fool, endeavors to iake advan tage of her, being wholly in his power. She resists with maidenly courage and dignity, and is thrust into an apartment at the baok of the stage. Un expectedly a new personage now appears—Man fredi's wife, (Mrs. John Drew,) whose jea’ousy of Malatesta has been oxoited by Bertuccio , who wishes to pay off Manfredi for numerous insalts reoeived from him. All this time, Bertuccio Is al most wild with joy on aooount of his deep revenge being on the eve of fulfilment. The Duchess with difficulty believes that Manfredi has been false to her, but, sot on to listen at the door, hears his pas sionate entreaties to a lady, whom she believes to be Malatesta?* wife. Thus seared, she poisons the wine whioh is about being token in for “ a little cupper,” as Manfredi familiarly ealls it, which ho has invited his profligate frionds to toko with him and ftordeltsa — she, wo must say, seems to take matters very quietly in that bad company. Malatesta appears beforo the Duchess , at her summons, and to Ber tuccio's wonder, does not seem to feel indignant at the abdnotlon of his wife. Presently, that lady, summoned home by her husband, appoars before tho Duchess and Bertuccio, on whom dawns th e conviction that his own daughter, and not Ms en?. my’s wife, has been sacrificed to his revonge. A magnificent bit of aoiing is where, refused admis sion to the Duke's chamber, where tha revel is proceeding, with his daughter In the midst, ho conoeals his pangs and endeavors to ooax the attendants Into admitting him. Now the Poet oomes ip, learns what has happoned, and passlonateiy proclaims to the revellers, oven through the oiosed doors, that they are poisoned. Oa this tho doors fly open, and Manfredi is brought in, suffering tho fatal pains of doath by poison. Fiordehsa is Senseless, but recovers, and tho young gentleman who stands on the sticks of red sealing-wax declares that her person has been unprefaced, and that she has never touched the drugged wine. An attempt is made to arrest the Duchess for the murder of her husband, but she, avowing that she bed executed jus tice, tells them that tho troops of the Bentiva giio house are at the gate Bertuccio, re- l minding Malatesta of the wrongs sustained from him, finally agrees that Justioo rests with heaven, while Vengeance belongs to earth. The dosing tableau is impressive—the principal figures being the Duchess far up the stage, near her bus band’s corpse, apd father and daughter in a fond embrace of love and gratitude, In front. Near or taken some other notice of him, beforo the ear tain fell. Mr. Booth was called out at the olose of Aot 11, hut did not appear. When the ourtaln finally fell, ha was compelled to come oat, and was very warmly greeted. His performance In this new part shows that he can create as well as copy. 7he play, whioh is a mean performance in point of language, he has elevated into a very dfootive pieoe. Mrs. John Drew, as the Duchess, was superbly dressed, with exquisite taste, and had a most queenly look. She played with great skill, and infused the trogio olemont deeply into the par formanoe. We have already commended the acting—so dif* ferent, yet so good—of Hiss Wells and Hr. Shewell. Mr. Wallis, as Matatesta, had a small part, which he appropriately played In a brusque man ner. A more plebeian-looking Duke, spite of his handsome dress, than Mr. Oils we have rarely seen upon the sta» e. Ho was wholly unequal to tho part. Hr. Wheatley or Mr Shewell would hare prodaoed a great effeot with it. There is no small portion of praise duo to Miss Emma Taylor, the most unoertain aotress now in this oity. Sometimes she plays admirably—some times only tolerably. On this oooaslon, attired with great propriety, she looked very well. In the passionate and pathetio parts, where she is compelled to be earnest and lay aside her afieotod and minoing mode of utterance, she was extremely effective. But her pronunciation wants to be mended. “My own a-heart a-told me that,”— « a-hcavcn have mercy on me,” and “ tay a-fathcr’B name,” axe simply affectations which custom has made habitual. Vice and key-ind, for voice and kind, are also bad. Moreover, all through tho play, “ Molatesta ” from her lips was Malatcetar. Mr. Qile, as the Sovereign Boko, made the same mispronunciation. Finally, the pleoe, whloh will have a run, has been put upon the stage with the liberality, taste, and effeot for whloh Arch-street Theatre has been so distinguished undor tho present management. Neither Mr. Wallack nor MUb Laura Keene could have produced “The Fool’s Hevengo” with more attention to ooatume, properties, end the mist en scene. Concert Hall.— Last evening George Christy and his band of minstrels opened at Conoert Hall. We learn that the house was crowded, and that the performances were very good. Sanford's Opera House.— We dropped in to Sanford’s bijou of a theatre last night, for a few moments, and, from the shputs of laughter that we heard from a house full of people there assembled, concluded that Sanford and bis inimitable com pany are aB popular as ever. .legal intelligence.

Demoobatio Meeting in the Nineteenth WAnD. —A Democratic mass meeting was bold last evening on Frankford road, above Norris street, in the Nineteenth ward. Isaac H. Morton pre sided. At tbe commencement of the meeting there ap pealed more Lincoln men than Democrats present, and the epeakera were hissed, hooted, and groaned, 1 and interrupted frequently with oheera for Lin* i ooln and “ Old Abo.*’ The police wore appealed i to, to arrest tbe disturbers of the meeting, but none responded to the oall. It wafl asserted by the speakers that several polioemon wore among the orowd, taking partin the disorderly proceedings. Mr. Charles W Carrlgan asserted this to be tho I foot, and declared that he would take their num bers and report them to Mayor Henry. The meeting was opened by. Andrew J. Welter, lin a short address. He was followed by Charles I W. Oarriganj Esq., who discussed tho tariff and j slavery questions at length. He denounced strong l ly the course pursued by Mr. Lincoln when in Con fress, who, Mr. G. said, had characterized the fexfcan war as murderons, and onr soldiers as no I better than oat-throats. Linsoln, at that time, noted I with Tom Corwin, and voted against granting pen sions to the widows of those who fell in that war. Mr. C. oharged the Republicans with being an Abo llltlou party, who were attempting to deprive tho Southern States of their rights. Rut, if it comes I to the worst, these traitors would find 240,000 De | moorata in the North ready and willing to meet them, and dofoat their mad attempts to destroy I this Union. He closed amid mingled oheera from his own party, and groans aDd hisses from the I othor side. Wm. H. Witte followed, and was several times interrupted by persons opposed to the meeting. He had spoken but & few minutes whon the Nine teenth Wsrd Democratic Club came up, headed by a band of musio. The elub wore equipped simi larly to the Wide-Awake organizations, wearing red, white, and blue cops and oapos, and oarried torobes. The arrival of this reinforoomout had the effect to put ft stop suddenly to the disorderly proceedings, and after this thero was no more in . terruption or oheering for Linooln. I Mr. Witte briefly alluded to the loading ques- I tions of tbe day, and passed to the consideration lof the divisions existing in the Democratic party, which had destroyed its vitality. The greatest I achievements of the party were accomplished when it was In a minority, and he instanced tho foot that it had stood up alone In defence of hosts of our oitizoua who were assailed on account oi their birth-place or their religion, and it had conquered. He believed that one reason of the defeat of the party in the Ootober election was the weakness and ineffioienoy of tho controlling autho rity, (the State Committee ) whloh had not exhi bited the energy which the oooasion demanded. He acknowledged that there was no hope for the Democratic party in the Presidential contest, but contended that there was more glory in struggling for principles when in a minority than in oow ardly succumbing to a majority, or supinely stay ing away from the polls. He begged bis hearers to come out, and vote, and show what they could do. Now, they could feel a pride in saying that they voted for principles and not for tho hope | of getting an offioe. [Cries of “ That’s so M J The dfiferenoo between Douglas and Breokinridge was very little, and the difference between Douglas men and Breokinridge men was not so great but, they might oome together cordially, as they were all patriotic mon, laboring for the good of the country. But the difference between them and the Lincoln men was very great, as the latter were la boring to destroy the Union. There should be a perfect union between tho Douglas men and the Breokinridge men against tho common enemy. He paid a glowing oompUment to Mr. Dou glas. whom he described as a man of trans condant abilities, bold, patriotic, and fearless in the expression of his opinions, who had worked his way up from the work-bench, until he bad become one of the shining lights of the Senate. [Three ohoers were here given for Stephen A Douglas by the orowd.j ‘ He also eulogized Mr. Breckinridge, who was full of patriotism and love for the Union, Bnd he (Mr. Witte) was authorized to say that Mr. Breckinridge discountenanced all the Disunion 1 schemes of his friends in the South. Mr. Witte said | ho would feel perfectly satisfied if either Mr. Dou glas or Mr Breckinridge wore to administer the Go vernment. He felt that the party was going to he slaughtered, but he trusted that this apprehension, would not keep Democrats away from the polls. He believed that the contest was ono of rAoes The Lincoln party were endeavoring to elevate the nogro to the level of tho white race, and if that party succeeded, they would no doubt advoo&te the practical amalgamation of blacks and whites, by intermarriage, working together, side by side, in the same factories and workshops, and eating at tho same table. This was the doo trine of the party who were orying out “Free homes for freemen,” “froo speeoh.” [Wo had an example of their love of “free speech” here to night, said he, by their attempts to disturb this meeting] and he supposed they meant “free niggers” among the rest. Why, in New York they are now trying the experiment, to see if they can’t pass a law to allow all negroes to vote. And theywilldothe something here, If they get the power. 80 you may expect to go to the polls on some fine Ootober morning, and find a big “ buck nigger” squeezing and crowding on eaohsideof you at the window. He next proceeded to show that it was tho inter est of the manufacturing classes to vote against Lincoln, for his election would tend to alienate the Sonth } apdthey would notpurohaso any thing from us, except what they could notpossibly do without. Even now, leagues had been formed in the South, who had resolved to dieoentinuo using all goods of Northorn manufacture. The ofleot of this would be to ore&to distress at tbo North, whioh would be • felt by every-working man as well as the employer and the capitalist. This was tho natural result of tho agitation of the slavery question by the Re* fiubllo&n party, for tho South could not help feei ng exasperated at the North, because it stood in saoh a position of hostility to Southern institutions. Mr W. was speaking when our reporter loft, at half pant ten (moot. Tho mooting wag tolerably well attended. It is worthy of note that, while ropoated cheers were not a single cheer was given Guardians op thh Poor.—Tlio ixjgular stated meeting of the Board was held yesterday afternoon at tho office, Narth Seventh street, below Arofe. Tho house agent reported the following oensua of the bouse: Numbor in the houso on Saturday last at 12 o’clock M , 3 409; samo time last year 2,528; deoreaae, lip. Admitted during tho last two weeks, 20Q; births, 5; deaths, 20 ; discharged, 119; eloped, 20; bound out, 2. An application was made to send a woman and her two children to New York, to meet tho husband and father, who had deserted his family about a week ago. The Board declined making an appro priation for this purpose. A man applied to be sent to Ireland. Applica tion declined. A communication was read from tho Board of Health, returning, as disrespectful, a communica tion whioh had been sent to the Board of Health bv the secretary of tho Board of Guardians, com plaining of tho neglect of tho small-pox patients sont to tho small-pox hospital, and whoso board is paid by the Guardians of tbo Poor. A complaint had been mado to the Guardians of the Poor that there woro no nurses at the hospital, and no ono attending to tho patients at night, and in pursu ance of this oomplaint the secretary of the Board had sent tho lettor to tho Board of Health. The Board unanimously approved or the course of the secretary, Mr. Derringer, in sending the communi cation to the Board oi Health. The woman who preferred the ohargo was pre sent, and averred her willingness to snbsiantiato tho oh&rge. The committee appointed to inquire whether gas cannot be furnished to the Almshouse at a lower rate than now supplied, reported that tho Trustees of tho City G&s Works had deollned to reduce tbo prioo of gas, as it would be contrary to the settled practice of the gas department. Tho committee rcoeived an offer to introduce Holtor’s Patent Gas Regulator, to be affixod to the pipes loading to the different departments of the houso, at a oust of $6OO, whioh is warranted to effeot a saving of 25 per cent. Thoy also received propo sitions to ereot works on the Almshouse property, at a oost of $B,OOO, to manufacture gas by the water-gas prooess. The contractors guaranty to ?roduoe gas at a oost not exceeding ono dollar por ,000 feet. The oommUtco, in conclusion, say, that however favorably they may view the latter proposition, they were not snffioicntly satisfied in their own minds, to recommend, at the present time, an outlay of this magnitude, but intend to procure more data than they at present possoss. They reported a resolution that tho oommittee be authorized to make the experiment with Holzer’s regulator, and have further time granted in re gard to the erection of works for water gas or other process. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Linnard stated that the Board would not have to pay for tho regulators unless they per formed as promised. They were also to bo put up at the expense of the contractors. Mr. Linnard raised a question of order, that the resolution passod at the last meeting, restoring tho ferry at South-atreet wharf, was not legally aone. He contended that tho resolution morely rescinded tbo resolution abolishing the ferry, but in his opi nion a resolution establishing the ferry was acces sary before the ferry could be restored. The President deoided that tho point of order was not well taken, as it should have beon made at tho last meeting. Tho nominations for ferryman wot© then opemd, when the names of Joseph Ralston, John Smith, aDd Lewi's Penan wore added,- Mr. Linnard then moved to postpone all aotion in regard to the ferry till the second meeting in January, which was agrcod to.

Mr. Diokineon offored a resolution that no paupor shall bo admitted to the house as an in mate, excep upon an order signed by either a guardian or a visitor of tho poor, which was adopted. Mr. Dickinson gave as his reason for offoring the resolution that many persons, were admitted inro ibo house upon orders Bignod by unauthorized persons. Among others, tho inspectors of the prison wore in tho habit of sending persons from their institution to the almshouse, who ought not to go (hero, whioh had the tfloct of filling up the houso with persons who had batter bo kept out. Mr. Charlos Brown approved of the resolution, and said ho thought there woro mauv xereons already m the house who woro abundantly able to support themselves outside. Ho suggested, that at some future time an inspection of the inmates should take place, and thut all persons found able to work should be turned out. This inspection should takoplsoo weekly or monthly, and In this way the Board might rid the house of many able bodied paupora, who should bo compelled to go to work. After passing the steward’s requisition, th© Board adjourned. Fall of a Building —On. Saturday af tornoon a three-storied briok building, at Seven teenth and South streets, fell to the ground with a heavy crash, and was reduced to a pilo of ruins. Fortunately, no person was in or about it at the time, and no loss of life or limb attended tho mis hap. Tho structure was unfinished, there being no roof upon it; but the walls were up, and the joists wero in their place. It Booms that the own er of tbo property had a shallow well dug in the cellar for some purpose. In excavating Ft he dis covered gravel, ond. to get as much of this gravel as possible, ho had the well deepened, and dug out in such a way as to undermine the bank ana to make tho cavity mnch widor at the bettom than at the top. The rain on Saturday caused a gene ral cave in, ond tho building oaved in along with the ground, as we have already stated. Bad coonomy that. The Union Market House, in Second street, is rapidly undergoing completion. Tho front presonts a handsome appearance, and the joists have been raised.

WAR PREPARATIONS OF AUSTRIA —THU FOPS STILT. AT BORE—HTBBT FROM WARSAW—-TBOUBLXB IS TURKEY—CAUSE OF THE RUSSIAN DISAGBIISCZHT WITH SARDINIA. The Paris correspondent of the Times says: If the Emperor, Francis Joseph, flatten himself that be will conciliate the Hungarian exiles on the charter which be has vouchsafed to their native country, he will find himself, I fear, grievously in error. The same correspondent says: A Frenoh traveller, arrived from Verona, confirms all that has been said as to the groat preparations for war made by Austria, in Venelia, for some time past. Verona alone contains within the citadel and the eatrenobed camp which protects it, one hundred thousand men. He adds that it would be difficult to form an idea of the immense works which have been raised for its defenoe. The citadel oan always bo supplied with provisions from the mountains. Mantua and Pesoheira are likewise strongly gar risoned. The Austrian forces in Italy are esti mated at one hundred and fifty thousand men. The plain cf Mantua is studded with fortifications, and Pescheira is a little Verona. Tho Pope has assured the representatives of France at Home that he has bo intention of leaving tho Eternal City.

Tari’s division has re oeived orders to be ready to start by sea, destina tion unknown. FRANCE A 3D ITALY. The Cotiftitutionnel publishes an article, head ed “ French Policy in Italy,” and signed by Its editorial secretary. This article, which is considered semi-official, begins by energetically repelling the charge brought against the Government of the Emperor, by those who reproach him for not intervening in Italy against tho revolution, and by those who wish to see him sustain tho Italian movement at all hazards Frenoh policy could not, without compromising its most undoubted principles, and its essential interests, hold to either the one or the » other of tho two lines of conduct In taking part against Italy the Emperor would betray his origin; he would lose the character he holds from univer sal suffrage, by whioh he was elected, and would divest himself of the authority necessary to a so vereign of France for the good of Europe. The more ne is equitable to the people the greater is the service rendered by the Emperor to the prin ciple of authority. Besides, an intervention could only be a military occupation of the peninsula. What would Italy, England, and Europe have said? They would have looked upon the peninsu la thus protected as a French Italy. Here the article enters upon considerations of the political position of caoh of the great Powers o! Europe, andhaving reviewed the state of things in Italy, it draws the conclusion that a Congress is possible, and defines tho part Franoe should take therein The article concludes thus : An organised and powerful Italy is henceforth for the interest of Europe. In oonseorating it by an act of high jurisdiction Europe would show as much prudence as justice. Turin, October 14. —Advioes received here from Naples to the 23d do not confirm the announcement that tho Garibaldians had entered Capua. . AUSTRIA. Tho official Wiener Zeitung publishes an Im* portal patent, dated October 20th, constituting a statute for tho organization of the Provincial Diets of Styria.

A letter dated Turin, October 21, thus describes the lec&ll c-f the Russian minister: Prince Leon de Gagarin, charged with the -Soudan..legation In our capital, yesterday pre sented a note urm. Oavour, in whloh he officially signifies tbe recall of the whole legation 1 . This re call is modified on the ground that the Govern ment of Emmanuel has never taken any notice of tbe communications And verbal representations which the Gonrt of 6t. Petersburg thought fit to make to Piedmont, respecting everything con nected with recent events, and especially as re gards tho entranco of Piedmontese troops into the kingdom of Naples. M- Cavour, on receiving tbe communication, Im mediately telegraphed to tho Marquis Saull, the Sardinian minister at St. Petersburg, to demand his passports. Prince de Gagarin leaves to-mor row for Paris CITY ITEMS. The Dry Goods Trade in Philadelphia.— The names longest and most prominently connected wjtb any branoh of trade in a large city become, from their historic associations, public property, and may as such bo used in this pubhoway. Among this class, in tbe Dry Goods deportment alone, Philadelphia can boast a number, of whom, perhaps, none occupy a more prominent place than the name of Townsend Sharpie**, for many years located in Sooth Second Street. His successors, under the firm of Shasplxss Bbothsxs. at the Northwest oornerof Chestnut and Eighth Streets, oooupy one of the moat eligibly located, conveniently arranged, and best lighted edifice for business purposes in this city. Though on a less extensive scale, the cha racter of Messrs. Sharpies* Brothers' business is simi lar to that of Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co., New York. Like them, they are among the leaders in tho Whole sale, as well as the Retail Trade, and, while every re tail buyer of dry gooes in this oity and »he surrounding towns is familiar with tbeir house, it may be said, with equal truth, that there are few merchants from any part of the Union who are accustomed to making their bills m Philadelphia, that have not, at some time or other, been obliged to visit this establishment, iu order to oomplete their purchases. In this respect thehouse of Sharpless Brothers is peculiar; they keep many classes of goods which are usually to be found nowhere else ; so that frequently, in the course of the season* a great many of our wholesale, as well as retail mer chants, are, more gr letis, tributary to this house. An other peculiarity is, that they keep their stook up throughout the season—not in prices, bat in its variety and extent. This fact has also been the moans of in ducing for them a heavy trade during the closing weeks of the se&6on; is foot, it not unfrequontly happens that, when the generality of jobbing houses are'quiet, with little stook, and less demand for it, Messrs, Sharp less Brothers are busy in fi'ling orders for the lata trade. Their stook at the present time, both is the Retail and Wholesale Rooms, is a model of complete ness, and each, during business hoars, presents a busy scene. We need hardly add that, in the line of Friends’ Wear, they havo lone been tho leading house in this 1 country; nevertheless, they keep as complete and va nod a line of Silks, Dress Goods, Men'B Wear, and, in short, everything belonging to the Drf-goods Trade* as any of their most en'erpris'ng rivals, Thesucoess of this house has been as marked as it is well de* served. An Item for the Ladies.—We havo already taken occasion to advise our readers of the suocessfu “opening of Bonnets” at tho popular millinery esta blishment of Messrs. Lincoln, Wood, &. Nichols, No 725 Chestnut street. The beautiful weather of yes terday found their extensive retail department thronged with buyers, and tho attractions whioh are daily being added to their stook in the way of Ladies’ Beaver and Felt'Bonnets, beautiful Bonnets for Misses, and ChiL dren’s Hats and Bonnets of all kinds, oannot fail to render Messrs. Lincoln, Wood, Sc Niohols, No. 725 Chestnut street, the ehier shopping centra for this branch of goods throughout the season. To the ladies who have not yet availed themselves of that pleasure we would say. Give them a oall, believing as we do that one visit will insure your patronage for them m the future. 'J heir attendants, we are happy to know from experience, are competent and polite, as their stook is oartainly unequalled. An Attractive Front.— We think that the win dow displays of the splondid stores under the Continental Hotel, to use a popular phrase, “can take down the world.” The four fronting the establishment of Xe*sn> Cims. Oat ford & Sons, now represent the value of thou sands of dollars, and constitute collectively a noh in dex of the four following of their departments: Children* and Misses’ Huts; Ladies Furs ; Gentlemens’ Hats and Caps, and Gents’Furnishing Goods. In either of these departments the reader trill find a more complete and elegant stock than in probably any other/our establish ments in the Union. Their beautiful salesrooms are now daily orowded with customers. Their pricer, we mar say for the benefit of those to whom this foot is an “ item,” are exceedingly moderate. Balloons for Garibaldi. —The broiheis Brooks, balloonists, the elder of whom preceded and pioneered l’rofevsors La Mountain and Wise, and edi tor Hjde, upon the occasion of their perilous trip from St. Louis to the Atlantic, in June, 1359, recently wrote a letter to Garibaldi, proffering their service for the purpose of reoonnoitering the positions of the Neapoli tans.

A palatial establishment, emphying its regiment of skilful workmen, its scores of cutters and salosmen, and with its almost miles of counters and shelves* all loaded with elegantly-fashioned garments* made of choice fabrics, it affords a bold contrast with the limited ideas of our lathers in rrspeot to first-olasa business establishments. The firm named are known all over the oounlry for the superiority of their garments for gentlemen and youths, and their stock was never in ss fine a condition as at present B Wax Flowers —Mr. G- Worgan informs the ladies of Philadelphia he baa arrived for the purpose of giving lesson* in the above art. fipeoiraens of Mr. Wor gan’s modelling to be seen at Bailey Sc Co.’s, jewellers, Chestnut street.
