THE CITY. St. Patrick’s Day and Its Cele- BRATION.—The anniversary of Ihe birth of St. Patrick, the tutelary Saint of Ireland, occurs to-day, aud will be duly celebrated with proper spirit. St. Patrick ia said to have been born in the year 373, at Kilpatrick, near tho mouth of the Clyde, in Scotland. Some authorities say that he was born at Boss, in Wales. At tho ago of six teen, he was carried captive to Ireland, by a band of ma rauders, but, after a detention of six mouths, mode his «re«r? and returned to Scotland. Beiag carried off a second time, and escaping again, he resolved to become a missionary to the Irish, was ordained in Scotland, and, after a long preparation, was consecrated bishop. Hia ecclesiastical nomenclature of P»tric2iis was given to him l>y Pope Celeatine, who sent him to Ireland iu the year 41(3, There lie preached the Gospel with such extraordi nary effect, that, although not absolutely the first to in troduce Christianity into that country, he has always re ceived the credit ef Us general conversion. He baptized the Kings of Dublin and Munster, and the seven sons of •the King of Connaught, St. Barnard testifies that he fixed hin metropolitan see at Armagh In hia old age he wrote his u confession, 0 the authenticity of which iB much doubted. A. popular legend escribes to him the banishment of all venomous 'Creatures from the island by means of his crozter, which was said to have beau kept with great care nt Dublin, as late as 1560.' St. Patrick died at Down, in Ulster, about the year 464, and was there burled. The celebrated shamrock, which is an emblem of the day, is a species of grass, also called trefoil, containing three leaves upon one »tock. Th© Irish, when he first addressed them upon the doctrine of tho Trinity in ’Unity, were occasionally disposed to atone him to death, upon which occasions he always produced the shamrock, asking them if it was not as possible for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to xrow upon & single stalk, as those three green leaves, and thus reconcilcdthem to the faith. •* Chosen leaf Of bard and chief. Old Krin’s native shamrock. 1 * < Other Lifetoiians say that St Patrick was not a native of Ireland, nor was be born in Steotlat d aa many suppose, but he first saw light in the neighborhood or Boulogne, in the year 357. Ho was taken prisoner by the Irish Monarch Xial, of the Nine Hostages, in 403, when only 36 years old—that powerful Hibernian ravaging the maritime districts of Gnnl at that period. On arriving in Ireland he was, with other prisoners, sold as astavu, and parried into that section of the country now known as Antrim. There his duty was the humble one of tending sheep ; and this uutet and solitary occupation giving him a capital opportunity to think, he formed plans for future action. At Inst he succeeded in escaping to Gaul, and reached once more his boyhoud's home. Ills friends uud relatives, as a matter of course, were delighted to see bim t and he was placed In the College of Tours, where bo 'Btadied divinity and finally became a priest. PAtrlelUs” did not fancy the ileister, however, and resolved to re turn to the country of bis captivity to preach to the heathen, who darkened that beautiful [and. lie landed iu Dublin about tlie year 423, and startei nt once fox tho region where he had go long lived us a shepherd. He had follower* with bias, and hid party wfere attacked by a chiettaiu named Dicho, as they were travelling to the interior, beiog mistaken for a band of pirates. ~Rut St. Patrick returned good for evil, and made Picho one of bis firsi converts; so that, instead of being put to death by him, he became oae of hi* warmest friends and most zealous co»oparatora iu spreading Christianity abroad The Saint celebiateil Divine worship first in a barn, called Patrick’s Darn, and dually lighted fires on Tara Hill in honor of Easter festival; and they blazed, too, in the very eyes cl the princes and chieftains, among whom vvae K»cg J.vgaire. Gieat wfta the astonishment of the nobles mi siting this file sporting up to tho heavens in sight of the Halls of Tars, and the Saint was summoned to the presence of Lugaire. He addressed tho King so eloquently and ably, on the subject of truo religiou, that, almost to yield to his (the Saint’s) belief, be did not uuitc surrender. He gave him permission to preach, however, and the result w as that be built a church on the very * pot which had before been devoted to the sacrifices of the Pmidfcal god, Crum Crunch. Success continued to follow the footsteps of St. Patrick during the whole course of his exertions to spread Christianity in Ireland—ihe Druids aud others, whose enmity he had to encounter, offering a lees forcible resistance tbnu is usual with the supporters of a totteiiug system. His converts embraced men of rank and learning; churches ■w ere erected in comic erable numbers throughout Ireland, Slid, to give the new ereteffl 'he advantages of organist*- tioiu the See of Armagh was founded, and it was fined by St. Patrick himself. Tbi3 morning there will be an orchestral performance at St. Patrick’s Church, and Haydn’s Mass, No. 3, will be sung by the choir. The Irish volunteers of the city are generally in the service of the country, go that the usual military observ- ance of the d«> will noi be as fin© a* usual. Ii Is expect ed, however, that two regiuaeuts of the Irish brigade, now recruiting he»e. will parade. The Hibernia Society will meet in the afternoon at the Continental Hotel, aud enjoy their annual dinner, after electing officers for the ensuing year. In the evening, an oratioa will be deliver ed by l>r. Moiiftj-ty, on St. Patrick, at the Academy of Music, at half past seven o’clock. There will be al-so a solemn Pontifical celebrated by Bight Bev. Dr. Wood, The panegyric of the great Apostle of Ireland will be preached oy jtev. B. Maguire, &. J., of Washington, D. C., and late president ®f George town College. Charged with Attempting to De- FRAUD.—On Saturday, in the Court of Quarter Ses sions, an individual, formerly a grocer, was heard on a writ of habeas corpus, charging him with defrauding his creditors. A number of wholesale dealers were examined, with whom the defendant had been dealing for a number of years, As a general thing he paid his obligations promptly. To tho present creditors, examined in the case, he was indebted in sums ranging from *6170 to $5OO. A half dozen witnesses were examined. Ho finally sold cut his stock nt public auction, and tho creditors remain unpaid op to the present time. The defendant, it is al leged, con timed making heavy purchases, although he was arranging to sell out by auction. A pcibob in Hie emvluj of nofonlant a'nted that after the store was closed and the bill of sale put up, persons came in there and bought goods in much larger quanti ties than usual: did not kno m that defendant brought the customers there Another employee said that be left the store iu Febru ary, l&til; tJsere was an ©xcelfent busmeea done at the store; the sales amounted. to from $5OO to $7OO per week.; the customers were first class people. After selling out his stock by public auction he closed out his business and entered into the Quartermaster’s De partment in General Banka* army, leaving a few of his creditors unpaid. The couuh-1 tor the defence asked that his client be discharged, as there was not the least particle of evidence that he intended to defraud his creditors. What was done was done publicly, in the usual way, and the stock was sold at a sacrifice, of course. The counsel for the prosecution asked that he be held to answer. Tho judge said that he could not conscien tiously discharge the defendant. He thought the case was one that ought to go to a jury. Bail was entered for the appearance of the defendant before a jury. An Interesting Case.—An interest tag case of enlisting mechanics, such as bricklayers, stone masons, carpenter*, and blacksmiths, came up before Judge Allison on Saturday, and was promptly disposed of It seems that arm© time since; about a dozen of men belonging to Moorestowa, 2*. J., enlisted at a rendezvous in Chestnut street, above Fourth, as mechanics, to do the work at Fort Delaware and other forts proposed to be Built on the Delaware river. The specifications were that the men were to be drilled three fourths of an hour iu the morning &ud ©veiling of each day, eo that they might man Ike guns iu cage tbe regulaF soldiers were shot down. This they agreed t», and became enlisted. In stead of being tie&ted as they expected, after baviugbeeu cent away, they found themselves to aU intents and pur poses enlisted soldiers. They refused to do duty as such, and appealed to the court, on writs of habeas corpus, asking for their discharge. There did not appear to oe nny blame on the pert of the recruiting agents in the city. There is evidently a misunderstanding somewhere. Judge Allison euid that tbe c&je is very plain—none of ?he men enlisted as soldiers, and consequently he would have to discharge them. A decree to this effect was at mice made. A PbAyeb fob A Time Of CiylL WAR.—Bishop Potter has directed the following addi tional prayer to the clergy if the Diocese of Pennsyl vania, to be read as there shall be occasion: “ 0 Eternal God, the Hhield of our help, beneath whose sovereign defence Thy people dwell in safety, we tileeeend praise, -we land aud maguify Thy glorious name, for all Thy goodness to the people of this land, and especially for the success with which of late Fhou hast crowned oureflorts to maintain the authority of law and to restore once more the blessings of union and peace.

It was indeed a brilliant sight, of bright ©yes and smiling faces. Tho room was tastefully decorated, as was re marked, “m tho Gordonic stylo:” stars and stripes all around, in tasteful profusion. A beautiful feature of tho occasion waß the presence of all the teachers in tho Fif teenth section, about sixty in number, charmingly dressed, and decidedly good-looking.

The whole thing waß sud den and unexpected, and, we understand, was one of Goidou’s surprises Smuggling Powder—An Exciting SCENE. —Captain Kennedy McCaw, the boarding officer of the port in the revenue service, received informa tion, late on Friday afternoon, that a schooner which was lying at anchor in the Dilaware, near Christian street, was delivering a quantity of gunpowder to a skiff which w:» lying alongside of her. Captain McCaw cus pected that tho powder was intended to go in some illegal direction, and he immediately ordered out tho custom house barge and pulled out to the schooner. On ar riving at the vessel, he found that a number of kegs had been put in the skiff, and that the loading was still in progress. He ordered the men to step operations, and be went into ihe cabin of the schooner to demand an ex pianktion. While he was in ihe cabin the skiff cut loose, and she was soon fairly flying down the river before a fresh northerly wind. The alarm was given, and, with the skiff nearly a mile ahead, the barge started in pursuit.- ,4‘ was an exciting chase, sails against oars, the skiff skimming a ong like a bird, and the four Imriemen bending to their ours and streiuing every nerve to overtake tho smugglers. Finally tLf month of the Schuylkill was reached, and the skiff, doubling the cape, turned up that stream. Here the wind was not so favorable for fast sailing, and the crew of the skiff took to their oa r s to help along thtir craft. As the fugitive approached Point Breeze the revenue boat gained open her, and, just opposite Lafferty’s, the barge grappled with her prize. The persons in charge at first attempted resistance; but Captain McOaw seon over powered them. The skiff had forty-four kegs oF powder, each weighing twfuty-five pounds, on board, and it was afterwards as certain ed that eight additional kegs remained upon the schooner. The latter,' it seems, was from Boston; and the powder, it is alleged, was intended for a manufacturing firm in (he Twenty-fourth ward. The Government had no claim upon it, and on Saturday the powder upon both tbc schooner and tho skiff was formally taken possesion of by High Constable Clark, who placed it in the maga zine until the question of its forfeiture is decided. Ac cording to what ib known aßtlie “powder law,” the pow der is forfeited, ami a penalty of sdooie Imposed, one half of which gees to tb6 Aa&AOlittiobfor the Belief 6f Disabled . Firemen, and the remainder to the informer. Sentences in the Court of Quarter SESSIONS.—On Saturday the following sentences were imposed by Judge Allison in the Court of Quarter Ses sions: Hemy C.

Tbo repug nance, nausea, Ac., to invalids, induced by disgust of the Oil, is entirely obviated by tho use of our CAPSULES.
