Doctor Robert J Breckinridge and “ The Danville Review.” Editor of Irk Press : Please apprise the public that a quasi conspiracy seens to have boon formed of Stoessionists to put down The Danville Review, of which Dr. Breckinridge is the principal editor, and from which we hare had some of the nobloat of oar noble papers in defence of the Union. These disloyal moTomente have taken such a turn that the Dootor has felt himself obliged, in ordor to carry on the work, to assume the whole pecuniary responsibility, and has published an appeal to loyal men for support. The work is a quarterly, and very ably conducted. Its second number (pub lished in June last) sketches out very nearly the campaign now working oat by our brave men in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. We must not let him and the cause suffer. Phila delphians! let us give him a few hundred subscri bers. The price is $2. Send your money and ad dresses to the office of George Jnnkin, Jr., Esq , southeast corner Sixth and Walnut streets, or Henry D. Sherrerd, Nos. 4 and 5 Merchants' Ex change, and tho matter will be attended to. March 10,1862. Geo. Junkix. The appeal is as follows: THE DANVILLE REVIEW. Godly and loyal persons, who fear the Lord and love their country, everywhere, but especially in the 'West —and of all religious persuasions, bat espe cially Presbyterians—are requested to consider carefully the statements which follow, and after wards do whet shall seem to them good. About a year ago a certain number of ministers, of whom I was one, founded the Danville Quar terly Review, four quarterly numbers of which. ’ making a yearly volume, have been issued. It is to prevent the destruction of the work, that this appeal is made; a destruction such as could happen only by means that would justify SUCh an appeal as this. „ Before the first number of the work was issued, the Rev. Messrs. Stuart Robiuson, Thomas A. Hoyt, and John H. Rice, withdrew from our associ ation, of which they w«re members, because they understood the majority of its members desired me to advocate, in its pages, the loyal principles of my discourse of the 4th of January, ISol—that is, bo cause they were Secessionists. At a much later period, the Rev. R- L Break withdrew from the association, btcauae the majority of its members besought him not to publish in the Review tho po litical articles which he has since published in pamphlet form, and which, as was feared before we nad full knowledge of its contents, it was impes stble for any loyal man even to appear to endorse. Still later, and in sncoMrion, the Bert Dr. R. W. Landis, and the Rev. Professor Jamas Matthews, went into the army of the United States as chaplains, and the Rev. Dr. J. T. Smith re moved from the West to Baltimore. Finally, Richard H. Collins, Ewj the publisher of tho Ke- VliiC) and the owner of an extensive bat qualified property in it—and who, if not a Secessionist, is much mi&ucderstood —having first notified the asso ciation of bis inability and unwillingness to carry it on upon the terms oi his contract with us, refuses to allow ns the use of our own mail booh, except upon tormg which are wholly inadmissible. Tho Rev. J. M. Worrall approves of his conduct, as ho did of Mr. Brock’s. What remains is that the Rev. Drs. E. P. Humphrey and S. Yerkes, together with Proftfgor J. Cooper and myself aided by Dr. Xtfsndis and Professor Matthews, as their duties in the army permit, muse start the work anew, or it roust he discontinued. In the present state of the country, and, I may add, of the minds of men in the region to which th 6 Rwiiw particularly appertains, touching a multitude of subjects of the greatest importance, it seems to me its destruction, especially by the means that have been resorted to, is both a calami ty and a wrong, which loyal Christian people will not hesitate to defeat. The insuperable difficulty 13 Ihe Suppression of our mail book; for we had subscribers enough to sustain the publication, and enough money was paid by them, within the year, to have covered all pro per expenses. The object of this appeal is to pro* cure the names of a certain number of subscribers immediately' whether of those who have already taken the work, or of new patrons. Aad so great is my confidence in the loyalty of my countrymen, in their approval of the past course of this Review, and in their love of upright conduct; and so little am I either inclined, or accustomed, to be baffled in'important matters, deliberately undertaken, by such conduct as 1 have that I have be come personally responsible for the expense of con tinuing the work, under the Conviction that a suffi cient number of patrons would be ready as soon as the next number can be issued, which I hope will he by. the end of March • Thefeubscription price is $3 per annum; $2 SD, if paid strictly in advance; $2 where a club of five members is paid for strictly in advance. Every one frhndly to the enterprise is requested to obtain subscribers, and remit by mail their name 3 and ad dress, with money current whore roooivod, to the Rev. Professor Jacob Cooper, at this place. Ex changes, and works sent to be noticed, must bo directed hereafter to Danville, Kentucky. Whoever will oousider the state of public affairs in Kentucky a year ago, will hardly need any ex planation of the mistakes which loyal men were liable to commit, in organizing our association, and starting our Review. And, perhaps, those who bear in mind the present state of affairs in this re gion, and tho perils of all kinds through which the favorable change has been wrought, will hardly agree that any instrument, or any man, used in any degree by Hod in producing that change, shall be, just yet, ignominiously put out of the way, in the Interest of the most flagitious conspiracy that ever asgailed human society. If in these things lam mistaken, I desire, at least, that all who feel any interest in the matter should understand by what means this enterprise failed, and how thorough was my conviction that the failure ought to have been prevented.

Henry .Siicer presented a paper* which w&b read by tbe secrtiarj, viz : Whereas) Doubts have been eutertaiued by some* and injurious retort* have been circulated impagniug the fealty of some of the mt-mbers of this Conference to the twenty third article of religion : therefore, be it Resolredy By the Bast Baltimore Conference, in Con ference assembled, that wo hereby cordially reaffirm our full faith in, and strong adherence to, the said twenty third article of religion, in tbe words following: ’‘The President* tho Congress, the General Assemblies, tho Governors end Council* of Slate, as the delegates of the people, are the rulers of tho United States of America, according to tbe division of power made to tin m by the Constitutions of their respective States, and the sail States are a sovereign and independent nation, aud ought not to bo subject to any foreign jurisdiction.” UiSNUT dLlCtlfli J Oil.S’ Miller. This elicited considerable discussion, Bev. A. A. Reese proving conclusively that tho same truth was con tained in the preamble and resolutions he had offered on ' Wednebday last. The resolution was finally laid on the table and a substitute offered by Bev. JohQ 11.

The session of yesterday having been annoyed by the audience in tbe galleries* ordered that the Conference to-morrow should Bit with closed doers. This was done this morning. Bishop Ames in the ehair* Bev. J. McKendrlc Reilay read part of the xir chapter of Bo mans, gave out an appropriate hymn* commencing: “ Unchangeable* Almighty Lord, Our souls upon thy truth wo stay,” And led in pra> ©r. Tbe journal vm read and approved. A paper wag presented and referred to tbe Committee on Seminaries * Bev. John A. Gere, during the debate yesterday, on the case of Bev. Henry Blicer, moved that “ as a Confer ence we disapprove of the conduct of Brother Siicer in declining to vote, and not retiring without the bar, sub ject to the fifth rule in'tbe constitution 5 that his conduct be not a for any future oeftariou.” This morning he said he wished to withdraw the motion thus made. Bev. Blicer then arose to make a statement He re marked that for forty yaars be had been a member of that body, ai d had never earned tbe reputation of an «cciu»er of hi, breibreß, 80, huw.Tcr, bad beoa eom p.Ded, by th? force of circumstances* tj bring a charge against Bey.

Thank God the hearts of Method ist preachers -re always in the right eiac«, wh»n time is given j and a score of voice responded—“ Thank God!” Bev. John H. Dasbiell desired to be heard. He had mode come remoiki during the debates which hod here; tofore taken place, which had given offence. He had said Bev. A. A. Keeee was the watchdog of tho Confe rence* questioning the loyalty of men. To which Rev. Beeße said he had only fifteen men !u custody, referring to the men on the negative of the ro«olution offered March 5. This answer called forth another from Rev. Dasblt-il to Hie effect that he wished lm had a jailor with a betttr he>.> 1 ui.d more euviabie reputation. Thia lat ter is what he desired to recall. Bev. A. A. l'resc desired to recall also his answer and anything that bad been offensive to fife brethren. Bev. It. IL.Chambers hod written alctter to the Car lisle fferakl some mouths ago stating tlmt it was puonr* ed that of the forty Methodist preachers in Baltimore ten or twelve were Secessionist*.

Since they are thus honorably adjusted and every man has made the proper concessions, 1 report them in part. A leeling of perfect concord and harmony prevailed throughout the assembly thia morning when these bitter personalities were laid aside, and all were permitted to see ej eto eye. The public, however* are not to misapprehend tbe*position of the Conference in regard to thismatter of loyalty ■ for 4 if snflloiunt proof Is given of a mimater’s disloyalty to the Go vernment of tbe United States* aud such chirgcs are preferred And sustained, such a minister would be expelled immediately. A young xnau of the first year, Kev. William J. Simpson, was this morning discon ifeded, as pvAaf vu given that ha was dielftyal to th* Government under which he lived.

Several members re prosonted him as having attondod quarterly meetings, and preached with great ac cepUojlity. Those miuu'ers under his clitrgu haring reported the amount of ihoir missionary collections, re* tired from the house until their characters were exa mined and passed.

A resolution was poised, allowing tho citizen# the pri vilege of entering to-morrow, And throughoutthe session. On motion, (••nferenre adjourned by singing u Praise God, fkom whom all blessings How.” Benediction by Rev. William S. Monroe. lirtbo Supreme Court) yesterday, for the first time aince the passago of the law of 1839, the constitutionality of that part of it which provides that soldiers in aetual mill* tary service, by authority of the Stat* or of the Fodorat Government, shall be entitled to vote wherever they may be, eaino up for argument and an authoritative decision by the tribunal of last resort in tbit* Commonwealth. The case in question is that of a contested oloctionfor the office of District Attorney for Luzerne county, wherein Jerome G. Miller was declared, by the Court of Quarter Sessions for that county, duly elected by the army vote, as against his competitor, Ezra B. Chase, the latter hav ing received a majority of the votes cagt within the county. The case was submitted to the court below, aud was argued on the following agreed slate of faois i u It is agreed the following facts he submitted as a case stated for the court’s decision. Admitted that, of tbo votes polled within the county of Luzerne, Ezra B. Chase received 6.811 votes, and that Jerome G. Miller re ceived 5,646, and that the said number of votes by each reWYtd be counted by the cou»t as legal, Tfcat of the votes polled by the volunteers in the army, E. B. Chase received 58 votes, &nd Jerome G. Miller received 362 votes. But the legality of the votes polled Dy the volun teers in the army not being admitted, the question as to tho legal effect thereof is submitted as matter of law for the court. If the court should be of opinion that the army vote is constitutional mid legal) the saute to bo allowed by tlie court, and added to the votes cast in the county for the party or parties in whose faver they may be, and then the court to decide in favor of the party having the greatest number of votes. If no part of the army vote is received, the decree to be in favor of Air. Chase, the army vote being taken as above stated ? the objections to jt being all waived except hb to its constitutionality.* 7 The case came up before Judge Conyogham, of Lu zerne county, or- tbe foregoing agreement, and tho facts and the opinion of the court were filed by him in favor of the constitutionality of the army vote. He, thereupon, decreed ihai Jerome G. Miliar was duly elected to the office of District Attorney for Luzerne county. It was upon an appeal from this decree that the easels now before the Supreme Court, and in view of the fact that at least two of our most important county offices may be affected, viz: sheriff and Clerk or Orphans’ Court, a decision will be anxiously awaited. Tlis regular stated meetings of both lininchei of Conn* oils were held yesterday afternoon. SELECT BRANCH, Theodore Cuyler, president, in the chair. The fol lowing communications were received: From the owners of property on the line of the North Broad.btrett Bailway, taking the removal of the track as a nuisance. From the president of the Philadelphia Band, No. 1, rendering a bill for services in 1858. The band played on July sih, in Independence Square, to the tune of $BO. The Committee on Claims have reported the claim as just, but Councils have hitherto stricken it oat. One asking that Pock street may be graded and the streetrepuved. From the Chief Commissioner of Highways in response to a resolution of inquiry relative to certain lots obstruct ing Carlisle street, that they are owned by Christian Styles. A fence is extended half- why across Carlisle street, at Jefferson. It is much travelled in summor, and should be opened. The owner is willing to transfer his lots as scon as lid is compensated for them. Befemd to the City Treasurer to prepare an ordinance to provide for the measure. A similar communication relative to North street, was answered by Mr. Ginnodo. The street is private proper ty, and the owner dots not wish it opened at present. Also referred, A communication was received asking for the removal of tbe Broad-street railroad from South to Chestnut street. They urge this because of tho obstruction to travel and the prevention of private improvements.

The bill passed. A resolution releasing the securities of E. C. BonsaU, late Commissioner of Highways, was passed. The Committee on Water presented a resolution au thorizing tbe chief engineer to stop the supply of water from the Kensington water works, and supply Hchuyikill water instead, unul the former works can be thoroughly overhauled and cleuued. Mr. Mclmtyrb wished information whether it was pos sible for the Fairmount works to supply the Kensington district. Mr. Megary said It could for two months to come, and with 1.500,000 gallons to spare. Dr. Uhlbk t-poke relative to a disease peculiar to the people residing in Kensington, said to be caused by tbe impure water from this basin. He cited a case of a family suffering from the dissase in question who drank no Kensington water. While this was the case he fa vnrM the resolution. The great fieh-cldauiug &»p6t at Gunner’s run, which lets large quantities of offal into the very fore* bay of the Kensington water works, in in summer time must be very unhealthy. But part of Kensington is supplied from the Fairmount works, and the peculiar disease is quite as prevalent there as in the other section where Delaware water is drank. Dr. Übler thought that here was a line field for investigation, and that examinations into the different properties of tho two waters should be carefully made. Baltimobb, March 11 Mr. Wbthbuill expressed an apprehension that the tax upon the machinery at Fairmount weuld be too great to supply all Kraiingtout Instead of a surplus of I*soo*ooo gallons* the capacity of the works was but 80,000,000 gallons in four days. Mr. Mkgary explained that for two months Fainnount could easily furnish the supply. The difficulty require! prompt remedy. Mr. Dallas, naval contractor, who is superintending the building of the iron-dad steamer at Kensington, said that fifty of bis men had been taken sick, during a single day, from drinking this water. Fairmouut can give a supply until tho Kensington re servoir and works can bo examined. Mr. Fox stated that the proper connection can be made at Vine street, and tbe water immediately let into Ktnsington. Mr. Cassis said that the Council committee, in con junction with tho Board of Health* had united in Birongly recommending the measure. The experiments would be doue without expense to the city* and should be made forthwith. Dr. UiiLEßgaiil that the disease was very malignant in a family of seven persons living at Front and Coates streets. One of the family had spent a day at his house, and waß cured in that short time. Another had spent a day at hiß brother’s house* with tbe same beneficial re sult. Tbe Kensington water was drank by neither. Ex periments could be made as to the water in a week, and the cause of the disease could then be ascertained. The resolution passed finally. Mr. Meqary reported an ordinance extending tbe time of paying water rents from April Ist until May, whioh passed finally. The Goi&mittn eo Water alee reported on ordinance repealing certain portions of an ordinance which prevented tho committee from expanding more than one half of their appropriation before the month of July. The Chamber refused to suspend the rules, and the bill fell. Mr. WsTTTKRrLi. now called npanordinance* offered by him at a previous meeting, relating to connecting mains. The ordinance Instructs the chief engineer, under the di rection of the Committee «-n Water* to cancel bills for connecting mains, except those rendered for water pipe laid in front of unimproved property, or where said pipe ia Boctsßoij’ for tbe supply of voter to adjacent proportr —the committee remitting only those bills where tho work has been done to secure the flow of purer water, aud to create a better circulation. It also appropriates $5OO to refund to property owners who have paid for pipe laid under the resolution approved September 27, 18di, to be repaid under the direction of the Commits 9 ft WfttaTi Mr. Mclmtybs offeree aa an amendment* that the chief engineer, under the direction of the committee, be em powered to remit all bills for laying water pipe under a resolution approved September 27,1851 —as his opinions may be contrary to the policy of the municipal Govern ment respecting tho payment for water pipe, and are un juat iu Ihemeelv*:-. After a long debate, tie amendment of Mr. Mclntyre wae withdrawn, and tbe original ordinance passed finally. Mr. Fox, from the Committee on City Property, re ported a number of appointments for confirmation. The Committee ou felchaole reported an ordinance rela tive to the purchase of e lot of ground in the Twenty fourth watd for school purposes. A remonstrance was read against the purchase of the lot* which, it was al leged* was below the grade of the street, and very marshy ground. This subject was debated for over an hour* and the ordinance passed finally. Mr. Fox, from a committee or conference on tbe City Department appropriation bill, presented a report* which was adopted. Mr. Megary made a similar report from the Commit tee on Highways, which was also adopted. A resolution autboriziug tw«alu repair! totboilreot at Tenth and Diamond. Agreed to. Tbe Salt Committee, to whom was referred tho subject of salting the railway tracks, reported a resolution ask ing to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. The evidence, Ac.* elicited before them, has been published in pamphlet form for the use of the n.mbwat Mr. Wetbebill moved to suspend the rules, in order to take up tbe ordinance for consideration. This was lost by a vote of 11 nays to 5 yeas. Mr. Cabhin offered a resolution that an ordinance be prepared for the extinguishment of a ground rent-in Canal street, First ward, which, offer a long debate* was pa*ed, Ml’.

He cited from tho laws of the city, made before and since consoli dation, to atimv that tho Legislature must repeal certain )a*s before the Councils could make the proposed reduc tion. Mr. Quins thought tho attacks on the High School were ill-udviswl. He thought tho High School had not as yet given n proper rotum for its cost. lie thought this was the result of some mismanogemont in its con trol. He thought it paid, as an institution, by elevating the standard of education in tho other schools. lie thought that, while fouteHug democratic mutilation* in our midst, it was welt known that the graduates were uioro aristocratic than their qualifications warranted. Tho Chair called the speaker to ordor, after ho had rambled a long distance from the subject of debate. IfcFin&Uy, after cons derable debate, the amendment was J lost by a large majority.

Payment of Water Rents.—For the past week tbe small and narrow quarters occupied by the "Water Departmert, at the corner of Fifth and Che&tnut streets, have been daily crowded with property owners anxious to settle their bills. Owing to -(he gntitll apartments occupied by the clerßs, the bufiuesj of this department of tho city is gonorally much retarded, espe cially at this time of the year, when tho rush of those who are always behind time in settling their aooounts with the city is very great. During the present week the (mn3 anil the r.coipts at this department h»TO btt«B daily augmented. The receipts on Tuesday reached about $7,000, on Wednesday about $9,000, and yesterday they were over $lO,OOO. After the Ist of April, those who have not paid their bills will have aq additional fire per cent, added to the amount. An extract from tbe or dinances regulatiDg tbe Department of Water says: •* Water rente are payable annually' in advance on the second Monday of January. On the Ist of April five per cent, will be added on all unpaid rents, and on the first of July after an additional ten per cent., and all promises upon which tho routs aud charges remain unpaid on the Ist of September will be deprived of the water, aud the amount sued fur, with two dollars added for tho expense of cutting off, find nil premises in arrears will be deprived of the water until the same is paid.” Wo understand that, owiug to the temporary dulness of business this year, an effort will be made iu Councils to have the time for the payment of water rents further extended. Annual Conference of the M. E. CHURCH.—On Wednesday next, tho Fifty ninth Session of tbe Philadelphia Methodist Conference will be com menced at the Union M. 11 Church, on Fourth street, below Arch. Besides a' large portion of Eastern Penn sylvania, this Conference includes iu its bounds a portion of Delaware and Maryland. During the last session, among the many interesting subjects introduced, aud which will no doubt be agitated this year, was the divi eion of the Conference. It was proposed to divide by the State fine betweon Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, the advocates of the measure being residents south of that lino. The subject was referred to a corn niittee, wlio reported tbat> iu yiow of the national ilifß. culties and embarrassments, and the disturbed condition of the public mind, aud the conflicting opinions of the churches in Delaware and Maryland on the subject, a division waß deemed inexpedient at that time. The committee recommended to the Quarterly Conference of the Peninsula a consideration of the matter, with a view to future action. The report of the committee way adopted. The slavery question was also agitated at the last Conference, and it was disposed of without much de bate. A preamble and resolution was submitted by the Committee on the State of the Church, in which it was declared to be iudispeuß&bly necessary to tbe restoration of peace and harmony in the Southern borders of the CobfeMUCe, that the ft MV Chapter Ah febW4t?, Inserted in tbe Discipline, should be repealed, and requesting the General Conference at its next session to repeal the same. The chapter referred to was supposed by some to embody a new condition of membership. Larceny of a School Teacher’s WARRANT.—Thomas McNeely was put on trial yes terday, in Court of Quarter Sessions, charged with the larceny of a warrant or order for money. The evi dence against tbe Accused was that Miss Chalmers, a school teacher, had in her possession two wart ants, each for $87.50. They were long overdue, and she wa i aux icud to eucure the money. McNeely, with whom she was acquainted, volunteered to get them cashed by Dr. McCHutock, City Treasurer, and upon the 25th of Feb ruary, Mrs Chalmers, the mother of the owner of the warrants took the two, and met Mr. McNoely at the Gi rard Bank- After an interview with Dr* McCHutock, McNeely requested Mm Chalmers to baud him the war rants and Bbe did so. A check for one of the warrants was then given to her by the book-keeper, aud she was told by McNeely that thero was not money for the second warrant She requested the return of the un paid warrant, but was told by McNeely that it had been placed on file by Dr* MuClintock and would be paid the next day, and an appointment wab then made for the next day. Mrs Chalmers the a ascertained that the war rant hau not been placed on file, and a subsequent ad vertisemeof brought to light the fact that It bad been sold to a broker. A verdict of guilty wasjrendered, and senteaw d?f«r«!. ■ Celebration op St. Patrick’s Dat. —Monday next, the anniversary of the birth of St. Patrick, will be appropriately celebrated by the Irish men of this city. Tho absence in tbe army of tbe volun teer Irish companies will prevent tbe usual military pa rade lt is expected, however, that the two regiments of the Irish Brigade, now recruiting in this city* will turn out. In the evening, an oration will be delivered by Dr. Moriorty, on St Patrick, at the Academy of Music, at half past seven o’clock. The Hibernian Society will meet in the the Continental, and will participate in the festivities of an annual dinner. At St. Patrick's Church* in the morning* there will be an orchestral performance, and Hajdn’e Mass No. 3 vrisl be sung by tbe choir* under the direction of FroL M: F, Aledo. At this church there will be a solemn Pontifical Mass A. M., celebrated by Bight Bev. Dr. Wood. Tbe panegyric of the great apostle of Ireland will be preached by Bev. B Maguire, S. J., of Washington, D. C., and late president of Georgetown Collego* Aid for the Port Royal Contra- BANDS —Successful efforts are being made in this and other cities to raise a fund, by volunteer concerts, lec tureg* Ac«for the relief and instruction ot the negroes at Port Boyal* who are now in a helpless condition 0 suing to tbe flight of their masters. The committee appointed at the meeting recently held at National Hal! state that not only must these poor creatures be provided from some quarter with tbe subsistence and clothing heretofore re ceived from their masters* but medical attendance* and some sort of instruction in the arts of civilization, of which they have thus far been in . perfect ignorance. These negroes have been reduced to their present helpless state through no misconduct of their own. Faithful to the condition of their lot, they were found by our army at work on the plantations which their masters had abandoned. A concort in aid of this object wits given at Concert Hall last evening by the Hutchinson Family. The Oyster Trade —During the past few weeks parties engaged in the oyster trade have tern wmewhftt pentad fewum of tho impossibility of procuring such stock as is desirable. Tbe oysters now brought to this city are said to be of very inferior quali ty, and the supply ia not equal te the demand. No oys ters from Virginia* except those on the coast of the East ern Shore, are brought to this city* and so eagerly nought after by the public houses that few or Bono fail ioto Ae band* of ike packing Irade. The large supplies from York river and Lynnhaveu bay of former years are still cut off, and they were generally the last that found their way to this market. Spruce-street wharf, the main market for all the oysters arriving here, has presented* within the past week* a much duller scene than usual. In Town.— Yesterday Lieut. Bird, of the Fourth Maine Regiment, recently released from the Richmond prfeon, was in this city. Lieut. Bird was wounded trnd takeo prisoner at Bull ftuui §nd languished In prison until within a week or so, when he was ex changed. Be is now absent on sick leave. His escape from death was almost miraculous. A musket ba l struck him on tbe left side of the forehead and penetrated the skull. The ball then split into two pieces, separating, and one of them penetrating the brain itself. One of the pfecto woe oxtyuMed on the day of thd battle but the other remaintd when 1 it bad lodged until a Federal sar geon extracted it at Fortress Monroe, last week. The indentation in Ihe skull actually allows the pulsation of the brain to be seen. Pieces of the skull were extracted with the ball and have betu preserved. Salting the Streets.—The commit tee of Councils having charge of the investigation in re ference to the salting of railroad trucks have received from the College of Physicians a lengthy report on the Butject* in which they maintain that, in their opinion, there ie no evidence that tne praotice of salting the rail way tracts exerts any injurious influence on the health of the citizens. They suggest the necessity of making provision, by ordinance, for keeping open the gutters aud Inlets to tho sewers at the period when the snow is melting, and for keeping the footways at the intersection of the railways free from the melting anow and ice. Sentences.— The. following persons have been sentenced in the Court of Quarter Sessions: Susan Gibson and Susan Morris, colored women, lar ceny, plea of guilty. The first was sentenced to twelve months and the latter nine months* county prison. Robert Thomas, larceny, plea guilty : four months. William Ellis, two bills of larceny, 01 a watch and gold rings; plea of guilty. He made a speech before receiving sentence. lie said he was poor and without friends, and that necessity compelled him to steal. He pledged him- Mif «p«5 “ ho,9j* 9f a m«ni” thftt i? !h<> j«4g? w9hM let him off he would rostsre everything he bad stolen— make everything right. He was sentenced to two years.

The Soldiers’ Hospital at Broad ANI) CUKRttY STREETS.—Every one knows that there are many comforts widen sick and wounded soldiers need that no military hospital affords. It was to furnnh these that Florence Nightingale and her efficient corps of nurses went to the Crimea. It is to supply the crowdod wards of tbe soldiers’ hospital, at Broad and Cherry streets, with such hunmue donatinns, that a society of ladies, irrespective of church membership, has been forned, and a depot established, at the Rev. Dr. Sud durd’s (Episcopal) church, corner of Twolfthand Cherry streets. This society has been in active operation for about three months, and have, time far, finished aud furnished eo many hundred garment? fur the suffering troo j? that have been daily arriving at this extensive hospital, that tbeir stock cm hand is now well nigh exhausted; and it will, doubtless, be quite sufficient for us to give toe assu rance to our readers that aid is needed to securo liberal voluutary contributions for an effort that needs n* words ofonni to wnmmri it to the warmest syuipaihtesof every loyal heart. It may bo interesting for us to state in this connection that there are now no less than six hundred and fifty sol diers at this hospital—most of whom have little or no means of buying anything—that they are mostly etrau gcT» in this cliy, many of w&om bear honorable but frightful life-long wounds. For the information of those desiring to give what will be useful, we would suggest that there is a constant call for under-clothing, drugget or carpet slippers, and other articles of that description, to alleviate the sufferings of tbe wounded; and that the material, manufactured goods, or. money would be equally acceptable. There is also great demand f/,Y h»-6iia by those recovering from fever?, they being allowed by tbe attending surgeons, and are exceedingly grateful to the parched palates of the patients We Central Soldier’s Aid Society, with confidence, to the consideration of our readers. It meets on every Friday. Behoved.—An order yns recently Issued by tbe Mayor, instructing the lieutenants 5f tho different police districts to report at headquarters all poles, signs, Ac., that were hung in a dangtirous condi tion. This order has had the effect of removing two large liberty-poles, one on Third street, below Green, and tbe other at Ninth and Green streets, both of which were much decayed, and in danger of falling. ' A Patriotic Thief.— A few Sights since, an oil painting of General McClellan was. stolen from the Vohuteer Refreshment Saloon. - The painting wav recently -to tiM* ealoon, uSkwsf felgbly prized by the com iiittee as a perfect likeness of our young and gallant Commander-in-chief, as well as for its orna mental feature to the saloon. Militaky.—Captain H. A. Bead, of the Ninety-ninth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, has been promoted to major in said regiment; also, Lieut. A. H. fr&yder, of the same regiment, has been promoted to captain. Major Read and Captain Snyder aro both from this city. Bequest to the Protestant Epis- COPAL CHUBOH.—We learn .that tbe will of Louisa Gibson* just recorded at the Register of Wills* office, con tains a bequest of SlOO to tbe Society of.the Protestant Episcopal Church for the advancement otUhristianity in Pennsylvania. Indications of Warm Weather.— A day or two since several flocks of wild geese passed over the city in a northern direction. The presence of these fowls indicates that the winter has passed, and they are now relurtilug to tli6 ftreat lakes at the North, where they spend the summer and rear their young. Robbery.— Two lads entered Hams’ jewelry store, on Bidge avenue, betwebn Fourteenth and Plftwnth gtrasU. cll WddLtoday, white the attendant w&a in a back room, and carried off two gold watches and one silver watch. The young scoundrels were net arrested. Rock Fish.—A large rock fish, weigh ins uineteea pounds, was caught, a few days since, at Faii-mount. This is the'first of that species captured this Eeason. Died Suddenly.— A German, named Huttner Yachob. a native of Baden-Baden* died suddenly yesterday morning, at Marcia Fisher’s Inn, in Water street, below Walnut.
