Afrims,.. by the se- MOWltd humorist, Mr. F. O. Browne (Altman' Ward). His personal appearance is not nearly so 'attractive as his intellectual gifts are. He is a slim young Tann, of easy manner: with sandy hair and moustache. His delivery is tinctured with a some vbattforeign-sounding accent. His voice is a little thin and hollow, but its cuuning pauses and con •oeived inflections give -to his language a meaning - which cannot be very well impressed on paper. He was greeted with loud applause, appearing upon the stage preolsely'at eight o'clock. Atter a laugti-pro yoking introduction, In which the apologetic term 'bronchitis was very prominent, the lecturer re- .marked that one of his friends In the army of the Rappahannock (this side of the Rappahannock), had had the measles—but he only had them a few. The speaker had never felt 'embarrassed but once. He could not say how It happened. It wise a secret. And yet he might tell it.. It would he safe with the audience—there were so many ladies pre sent! It ,was not to be expected lie could write such a lecture as Edward Everett; and (confiden tially) Edward Everett could not write such n lec ture as he could. At least, he wouldn't if he could. A great many subjects hail suggested themselves. Many iderui had attached themselves to him. If a 'horse Is attached to a wagon, (sincerely attached to it,) be won't run away with it under any circum stances. lie had thought of astronomy. He might have described the stars, and such things, and said something about the constellations. Among these the Southern Cross (a mulatto) would have been prominent. Dr. Winship once offered to lift twelve men tit a time. The lecturer, (just think of it—oblige him by thinking of it,) had once offered, in some provincial district to lift twelve agreeable young ladies, one at a time. Strange to say, not one vo lunteered. It was enough to draw tears from the eyes of Semmes, and the crew of the Alabama. John 73. Floyd, when a young boy, stole his grandmother's knitting-needle; when he wan a man he stole nearly everything at Washington. At that time ho would have stolen the Executive's character, if there had been anything of that kind to steal! The army swindlers would steal the postage stamps from a dead negro' a eyes. Procrastination is the thief of time ; but they would steal procrastination I The speaker had thought of lecturing on Brigham Young. This gen tleman lived in Utah, and was (somewhat) married. A lecture upon the army lino the navy would have been mgeott subject. The lecturer was incompetent 111 tang IL tie felt he Poultleq thn tram o woum 11 " 1.0 see NIB! 1 2 11 9 149 421119, TUN •ww.. ono goat mon among our army—Stonewall Jackson 1 But he was' among the army a Rate too often ! Oue gentlemen, who had spoken with 'the lecturer, said that after converse with intimate friends, and the results-of careful speculation, and the answering of lon&cuiduoted Inquiries, and the consideration of private' despatches, and so forth, " he'd be d—d if he knew-what he did know I" We have now about a million fighting men. If there were as many officers in the field as there were out of it, there would be' nough; The lecturer had once thought of deliverbm a lecture On:England ; he thought she deserved a lecture. On several occa sions' the British lion returned home from his fero cious visits to America, with his tail several inches shorter. If be should come again, he'll go. away with no tail at all. His tail is not like the tales in the New York Ledger—they can't be continued. It would be a great pity to come tolhate France. Lafayette at the present date was remembered lovingly by little Americans. The lecturer, when a little boy,.hrui been very promising. But he had been different from George Washington. He told lies, and he didn't have a little hatchet The lecturer did not possess oratory, but be had the gift of eloquence.' He didn't have it bad, but still he had it. He would indulge in one flight (impromptu) ; he had It written out: It was pleasant to get up in the morning when the dew was on the grass (a way the dew has of doing, particularly in summer.) It was pleasant to see the swallows swallowing and—and the larks jumping, and the bees bee-waxing ! That was all there was of - that. The effect of this description upon a certain Michigan young lady was to make her nearly faint. The effect upon a certain gentleman was to cause him to get up and leave the room. He was very much moved. Eloquence was like gingerbread—one wanted only one hunk at a time. Every day one saw men trying to do what they had no predilection for. Wrong men were in the right place. Doctors, who ought to be undertakers; politicians who ought to be in the penitentiary ; lecturers, who ought to have stayed at home (the speaker would not dwell upon That, however), sprinkled the programme .01 life. A lecture on music had occurred to him. He preferred residing where not more than two young ladies took lessons on the piano at the same time. One song, he should remember to his dying 'day. It was: " I saw them on their winding way." It was performed in •his hearing every day for six months. The performers played no other air than that 'ere 'air I He would like to have seen the author of the " Winding Way" in his winding sheet. In the anguish of his soul he bade those wayward sisters depart In peace, Re had thought of poetry as a subject. One idiosyncrasy of news paper poets is that they all want to die. In slob bering verse they tell everybody else to go "On to the battle," but they keep away themselves. At length a new subject had occurred to him. But it was a subject which required an able mind, a giant intellect—(he hadn't anything of that kind with him at present.) That subject was slavery. If some gentleman in Congress would only say something about it now and then I Mr. G. F. Train (an English gentleman) talked of slavery as a Divine institution. Strange, then, that there should be so much swearing about it! Finally, the speaker had determined to lecture about Akita. He knew that- he was liable-to be dragged from the bosom of his boarding house, to be made a brigadier gene. ral of I He now approached the historical portion of his. lecture. Africa was—on the map, though some people could not see it I The people of Africa were (as a rule) dark-complexioned.. Their ootels were conducted upon the Ethiopian plan. They used shells for coins, wnence arose the financial term "shell out." They have no Congress in Africa— and their other habits are good I In connection with this, he would remark that gilded vulgarity often passes for honest bluntness, and gilded imperti nence for wit. There were men so mean, that, if the admittance to heaven were charged twenty-five cents per head, they would pay it in second-hand postage-stamps. The Africans were very fond of colors. The speaker had heard of a gentleman who had got up a cemetery in the interior of Africa,md Tainted the railing round it with red. The natives were so delighted with the Innovation, that they died off by the hundred, for the sake of being buried in red I The subject of his lecture was Africa, (with occasional allusions to Africa.) He had something to sepia regard to the absurd. An old maid once built herself a mansion, and then cried her eyes out because there was a beau-window in it I She was absurd. Some men, If the Government gave them bricks as postage. stamps, would take them, even if they had to carry them in their hate. They were absurd I A young Vermonter, visiting a female cousin in Boston (Alas sachusetts, Suffolk county), seeing in the parlor some little naked Cupids, thought they would look better with trowsers on. He was absurd. A simple minded gentleman once bought a hunting-case watch to wear at his wite's funeral among the mourners, (the other mourners.) He emend it with chalk and 'flannel, and annoyed the friends (the other friends) by constantly referring to it. Over his wife's grave lie pulled it out, and remarked, "Fourteen minutes past three when we got her in!" Ile was absurd. The most absurd man the lecturer had ever seen was the man who didn't like his lecture. That man, however, would some to a bad end, and that was a very great satisfaction to him (the lecturer.) There were too many young men who toiled not, neither did they spin (Scriptural quotation.) The *lecturer would like to speak of ambition. His au ditors might think he was running from one thing to another. Ho might change his base too often. (If so, he had been disappointed in not receiving pon toons from Washington.) The great merit of his lecture was its containing so many things that had nothing to do with it. To man con fidence was rine• cessity, vanity a nuisance. Therefore, have con& denim, man, but don't be a confidence-man ! He would now return to his subject, which was Africa. The only fragrant Rower which Africa produces was the rose—he meant nerves. He had received his information from an intelligent contraband who had been Jeff' Davis' coachman. A sublime functionary at the White House would probably tell an unknown applicant that his Excellency was engaged. Abe Lincoln, himself, would give the stranger a hearty shake of the hand, and, perhaps, tell him a story. In some portions, perhaps, London might be England, but New York was not America, neither was Boston New England. These remarks were in reference to putting on airs. The lecturer once had a grandmother—most people have had. When he was going West, she hoped he wouldn't fall into the hands of the Indians. One old lady he had advised to take her cooking-stove into Ohio, and if she was fond of good milk to transport her cows—they were all oxen in Cincinnati. She said, "O my!" The West was the heart of the Republic. The other parts were the lights, the lunge, and the -gizzard ! This was a tribute to the West. Ths lec turer did not possess a dog; not the least vestige of one—not even a sausage . Hie should now proceed to say a few words concerning courting, matrimony, and so forth. His aim was not to instruct, butte amuse, in grotesque manner. (He loved littleboye, he loved lit tle girls; he loved large ones just as well. He would 'draw a picture : a house in the woods; lop piled on the hearthstone; Iliehitable and John on either side; he hitches his chair nearer to her; she hitches her -chair nearer to him; they both hitch their. chairs; they continue to hitch until they can't get any hitcher; then she—she " wishes he wouldnltp he puts his arm around her waist; again the says she "wishes he wouldn't." The question arises, Who wouldn'ter 1 9 A gentleman on the cars had once told the s . aker that he didn't know whether he was marr ed or not. This was a ease of in . ..difference. Probably he had no children. The • :happiest marriages are liable to squalls. Love in a cottage was a fine thing.

He had endeavored to forget the cares of he day in the relaxation of the night hehad thought or the conception of the poet : "And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And silently steal away, ,, • The lecture was greeted throughout With continu ous metriment and applause. Many of the audience disagreed with many of the sentiments broached. A/I came to be amused, however, and all departed gratified. THE WEST PHILADELPELA. The surgeon in charge of the Welk Philadelphia hos pital has commenced the publication of a small sheet, known as the " West Philadelphia Hasp flat Register." The profits, if any accrue, are to be expended in sup port of the reading room attached to the hospital 'The surgeon has appropriated the room, known as the " Tent Dining Room," as a library and reading' room, for the use of sick and wounded soldiers, and the necessary arrangements are now being made to prepare it for that purpose. It will be opened early this week. The reading room is a frame building, two hundred feet long, twenty feet wide, and one story high. Benevolent women and men of Phila delphia and vicinity have Contributed largely in money, books, papers, magazines, he., and•twelve ladies of West Philadelphia have volunteered to assist, personally, in fitting„ up the coon, and in transacting Its business. Two of these ladies will be on duty, daily, and the institution promises to be a model of its kind. Three partitions divide the apartment into a library, reading and lecture room,. .a room for games, and a smoking room. To these rooms the three thousand soldiers whom this hospital will accommodate will at all times have . access. It is estimated that ten thousand soldiers will be treated in this hospital in the course of the • coming year. These ten thousand will represent every loyal State in the Union, and the desire is that the soldier, when he enters tie reading room, may be greeted with a copy of the newspaper which he was in the habit of seeing when at home. The t yisfer will be furnished as follows : To every contributor, live copies gratis. To every five patients, one copy gratis. For every extra copy to soldiers, two Cents. For every copy to other parties than soldiers, three Mits. For one year's subscription, (orlesso one dollar. To the reading room, for use and distribution, font hundred copies. Contributions are solicited from soldiers in camp or at any of the hospitals. It is the design of the surgeon in charge that the library and reading.roorn shall form an important feature of the institution. Comfortable in:nom:no diatom; for the then, whether for reading or for amusing themselves at the games, which will he fur nished by the librarian, are freely affonled. Every thing that is in the power of the lady visitors will be done to promote the instruction and amuslment Or ntornet cr The rebel ordnance department established at Arkadelphia, about July Pud, is at present under the control of Major George D. Alexander. There are about 150 men employed in manufacturing powder, cartridges, shoes and stockings, and repairing guns. The guns manufactured here are of a very inferior quality, and are known as the Hindman rifle. Since the establishment of the ordnance department, which consists merely of rou'gh sheds, up to the 10th of January, the time our informant left, only 72 new rifles had been made. The moulding of bullets is all done by hand, and of course progresses about as ra pidly as the stocking of guns. About 50 negro boys were engaged in moulding bullets, but the lead run ning out the work had to be suspended. The rebels had - in the ordnance department a patent bullet moulding machine, but were unable to use it, as there was not a man in the whole State of Arkansas who could be found to place the parts properly to gether. The gun stocks are also made by hand, as no one had ingenuity enough to make a turning lathe. On the Bth of January, the officers of the ordnance department commenced drilling the workmen, with the intention, it was said, of going up to the moun tains in Clarke county, some thirty miles above Arkadelphia, to attack a party of three hundred Jayhawere," as they are • termed, who had defied the rebel conscript law. Many men in the ordnance department protested against this, on the ground that they were not soldiers, but merely employed by the rebel Government AS mechanics. This protest amounted to nothing, however. All those in the department, when they wish to absent themselves, were obliged to obtain a furlough from the com manding officer, and if they didn't return within the period named, were treated as deserters. In addi tion to those in Clarke county, who had taken up arms against the rebel Government,"there were also about 1,000 more in Montgomery county, who bad encamped out, and openly defy the laws. The con script law had not been enforced at all in this coun ty. These men were supplied with powder and lead by one of their number, who was formerly engaged in the ordnance department at Arkadelphia. At the time our informant left, General Hindman was at Little Rock. and it was reported, intended to fall back to Arkadelphia. In case he did so, the ord nance department at that place was to be broken up, and all the employees impressed into the rebel ser vice. Generale Hindman and Holmes have under their command about thirty-five or forty thouaand Addl haus 5arr.147.;,%1 li l- tfi lad Pt illitrlct, Union] ShOttp iilninhatorkeiloml or the same ditgliCt, is considered one of the moat tyrannical. and brutal men of the age. Eilnre July lest he has had some twenty-five or thirty men Shot for desertion, but this does not intimidate the men in the least, as they leave daily by dozens. Some join the "Jayhawkers," while others are fortunate enough to reach our lines. Hindman has had seve ral of his men whipped to death for trivial offences, and "bucking" and "gagging" is a common affair. The men of Hindinan'a command are in constant dread of him, and swear they will shoot him the drat opportunity. In December last one of his, privates shot at him, but the ball missed its mark. The poor fellow was dragged from the ranks and instantly put to death. General Holmes is better liked. Hindman is from Helena, Arkansas, but his parents reside in Tennessee, where they are said to be in almost a state of starvation, their son having refused them all aid. On the 10th of January, the law went into force to swear intethe army all men in the State between the ages of 18 and 45, and one-sixth of the slave population. To escape this law our informant, with three others, all of whom were employed in the ord nance department, made their escape, and, after en during great trials and privations, they reached our lines almost in a state of nakedness and starvation. They could only travel by night, having to lay up in the swamps and other hiding places during the day. Desertione r in the rebel army are growing quite fre quent. There are now at Helena three regiments of Arkansas troops who deserted, and took up arms in the Federal cause. These menace reported as having done excellent service under General Blunt at the fight at Prairie Grove. Families throughout the whole State of Arkaneas are in great distress, the children in most instances going barefooted. Clothing ID scarce; nothing but home-spun can be obtained, and that In ['midi quan tities. The soldiers' were PM clothed in these goods. Tea' or coffee is never seen, and there is but little sugar and salt. The latter article is worth $l5 per bushel at the works in Arkadelphia. A new paper was about being started In Arkfulel phia, to be called the War Times," and to be edited by a Baptist minister, to be known as Parson Moore. The type, press. etc., are on hand and the men ready to commence work, but the publication of the sheet has been delayed, the proprietor not being able to purchase a ream of paper. Common white writing paper is worth $4 per quire. The rebel army in Arkansas have all kinds of arms, from Enfield rites down to the old flint locks. The majority of them, however, have good Enftelde, which were obtained from England. The soldiers; 'fare consists of corn bread and beef. The men die rapidly of the measles, which is a fatal disease in that State. The people generally are nick of the war, and care not how it is settled. ARRIVAL • OF SICK AND WOUNDiND.-On Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock a large number of aick and wounded soldiers arrived at the Citizens , Volunteer Hospital. Their wants were promptly attended to by the indefatigable management and the surgeon in charge. They were removed to the Turner's-lane Hospital, yesterday morning, by our noble firemen.

On Saturday we noticed the conviction of Robert Fox, on a charge of larceny, groWing out of the purchase by him and a Mr. Curran of the Con tinental Theatre, Another phase of the difficulty was presented in the Quarter Sessions, on Satur day, the charge , being that the defendant by false pretences of ownership of the property sold, had ob tained the. Judgment note of the larceny of which Fox was convicted. It is alleged that he was not the owner of the property, as he had represented himself to be, and had therefore no right to sell. After the case for the prosecution had progressed to some considerable extent, the District Attorney asked for a postponement until Saturday next, in order to give him some time to examine thetestl mony. Counsel for the defendant,Joseph Bonham, Esq., opposed this earnestly, Baying that the'Com monwealth had already bad plenty of time to look Into the matter, and besida the prosecution was re• presented by private counsel who were perfectly fa miliar with the facts. The court, however, granted the District Attorney's application and the case went over. • TUE SurPon') HOMICIDE.—On Saturday the. coroner commenced an investigation into tho drcumstances of the death of a man who was found on Friday night, under auspicious circumstances, in the house No. 624 St. Mary street. The room in. which the deceased died is occupied by a . colored woman and her daughter, and they stated that the deceased was brought to their room by two colored men, on Thursday, who asked that he should be allowed to lodge there. On Friday morning the lodger was left in the room by himself, and on the return of the colored woman he was found dead. Thb deceased bad a cut on his nose,.and one on the back of hie head. °Meets belongng to the Fifth ward arrested the Iwo women who occupied the room and two others, all colored, who were said to have been in the room previous to the death of the stranger. They were committed to await an investi gation by the coroner. A. post-mortem examination showed that the deceased had congestion of the lunge, and that his heart and liver were badly diseased, the result of bad rum.' The jury ren dered a verdict accordingly, and the persons in custoily were discharged. Tnoors LEATING.—The balance of the 2. .ra6ylvania Heavy Artillery, Segebarth, has received - mai.a , t.s_orden t ,, and will leave to-day or to-morrow for Fort Delaware,- where a portion of the regiment already is. Bat tery 111, which is complete, and the fractions of bat teries D, E, and I, are those which will leave. At. kentees of these batteries and others, which arelnow in the field, should report themselves immediately, before they are placed in the category of deserters. s We are requested to say that the publication in a Sunday paper of the Bth in reference to battery H not having received the bounty due them is false. By the untiring exertions of Captain Wm. D. Rank, the men received all the bounty due them before they left, with the exception of those who enlisted after the ad of November; 1862. These men receive their money front another committee. TIIE PROVOST GUARD.—During the past Week Provost Marshal Cliptain Finnte has been drilling his "Guards" in Independence Square. Captain Finnis acts as instructor, and uses the bugle instead of the drum. The men have mostly seen service in the field, anti, as the Marshal is well posted in the "calls,".the "Guard " bids fair to improve rapidly. The skirmish drill, on Saturday, was witnessed by a number of people, who seemed highly pleased. We learn that the Commissioner of city Property has objected to the "Guard" using the Square. The grass would not auger as much in Obis way as it would by the trampling It would re ceive at public meetings. It Is probable that the Commissioners, at their meeting to-day, will grant to Captain Finnie permission to continue hie good work. the soldiers. The director of the library has in view ft course of lectures, which will be given in the reading-room. Distinguished men have kindly vo lunteered to take their places in the routine of the course. The Burgeon in charge will inaugurate the course by a lecture on the Arctic regions. The library at the present time consists of about 626 bound volumes, and about 900 magazines and other unbound literature. ' An appeal is made to the benevolent public, in every part of the country, to send books in any language. It should be remem bered that we have soldiers of different nations in our armies. They, too, are found In this hospital. Contribuhoos will be thankfully received and grate fully acknowledged through the medium of the Re gister. k•TATrangTur A A2Fc An.- EinE111117U1111E!=.TIO111 # TODD! tlttllt Min 2".11)/ cltyi who linsjust effeeteti his escape from Aricmilel• phia, Arkansas, and arrived home, WC warn the fol. ioatingtintereating facts relative to atTaira in that State: PASSING SOUTE.—A regiment of troops from New York passed throughthe city, on their way to the seat of war, about 8 o'clock on Saturday morning.

KNOWING.—BOrfte specimens of the postage currency haVe on the lower right hand corner of the back, the letters "A. B. N. Co." Those not so stamped are thought to be spu rious. The facts are there. The contract for print ing there notes was originally given to the National Bank Note Company, whose signature in small let ters appeared on the face. When the demand became urgent, the National Bank Note Company printed the face and the American Bank Note Company the backs, hence those which were printed by the Ameri can Bank Note Company have their signature upon the back. The absence, however, of this signature is no proof that the note is spurious.

Samuel Stewart, arrested a few days since by Constables Spieler and Stook, of the First ward, on the charge of dealing in counterfeit notes, was ar raigned before Alderman Lentz, on Saturday after noon, for a bearing. Two young men, Beverly and Geo. Bloomer, who were arrested a short time since for selling the bogus notes, atFourth and Diamond streets. were the only witnesses examined. At the time of the arrest of these two 11:16120V0 gave a some what detailed summary of the interesting particu lars developed at the hearing before Kr. Alderman Beitler, atithe Central Station. Since that hearing they gave. certain information relative to the per from whom they obtained the counterfeit notes. This led to the arrest of Stewart by the ward con stables above named and not by any of the detective officers. • At the hearing on Saturday Beverly Bloomer was ealledto the stand. lie testlied that he proceeded to the house of Stewart on November 6th, 1862, and was introduced to him as being " all right." After some little conversation with him, he furnished wit ness, for a $lO United States Treasury note, $6O in " que re" (counterfeits). The question was here asked witness how he knew the notes Stewart gave him were counterfeit, to which he replied, that he judged them to be such because of their cheapness. Tne counterfeit notes consisted of two tens and six fives, all on New York banks—names of the institution not remembered. The next witness was George Bloomer. He also testified thht he called upon Stewart on several oc casions ; once Stewart told witness that he had some "stuff'," but was afraid to put it out, as it was old—he expected some new, in the course of a few days. Witness never bought any "stuff" from Sa muel Stewart, the defendant, but he did purchaie some from his son. The investigation here closed, and the accused was required to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO, to await a further hearing, to take place this afternoon.

The guilty individual Muttered and stammered, anal:Malty said "a man told me to pick up the tea and bring it to him." He endeavored to excuse himself by saying" that "he was not swarm to take it away as a thief, but as an arnd boy." A man, who seemed to be a con federate, was standing at the corner. lie took a hasty departure. Brown was taken to the lockup, and, after the bearing, was committed in default of $6OO bail to answer at court. [Before Mr. Alderman Meeks.] Disorderly... House Case. The classic locality of Oxford and America streets, in the northeastern section of the built portion of the city may be considered as the somewhat gigantic abiding place of poverty, misery, rum, rags, and ruin. Crowds of ill•behaved boys are continually loitering about the streets in that section. They are like so many rank weeds in the garden of life. Their moral culture has been shamefully neglected. These boys have been in the habit of frequenting a house occupied by Mrs. Margaret Flanigan senior, as she called herself, and Miss Margaret - Flanigan, Junior, as she was denominated by the mother. Without entering Into Ake interesting particulars of the affair, some of the neighbors came to the conclusion that .'sueh " shalaerul conduct" as they auegeo - was -praotised 'beneath the roof of the ac cused ought to be stopped. Complaint was made— a warrant was issued. The two Flanigan, 3lisses Julia' Flanigan dnd Ellen Masterson, were taken into custody and arraigned before the magistrate on Saturday morning. After a full hearing, the parties were ordered to find bail in various sums, ranging from s6uo down to $3OO, to answer at court and to be of good behavior in the meantime. [Before 31r.

M i dA.LLITY ac. o 0 The Germantown Watee.COmpany vs. McCollum. & Co. Some months ago the Germantown Water Company tiled a bill of complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, in equity, praying an injunction against William IlifeCallum, the proprietor of a woolen mill on Crab creek, or Paper Milt run. in the Twenty-second ward, to restrain him from the use of materials in his dye-house and factory, that it was alleged rendered the water of'the creek impure and unfit "for domeatto purposes.

On the hearing, affidavits in support of and,againet the motion were presented, which faired such A doubt in the minds of the court, AB to the exact cause of the nuisance, that the who's subject was referred by Judge Ludlow to a commie. sine of scientific gentlemen for investigation. Re cently the report of that commission w4s submitted, finding that the cause of the impurity in the water was to be attributed to the mills of the defendant; and on Saturday Judge Ludlow reed the following opinion. granting an injunction, unless the nuisance should be speedily abated: Noma FOlt SPECIAL INJUNCTION. Germantown Water Co. vs. ilelcCallum.—When this motion wee last before the court, we worn not Batts tied that the complainant had clearly developed such '; state of r'°te a° t !TINi fin ollpirily to Intore ,r - . ngir: moot intrigue nature, effeathirt dlreetly the healthand domeettla Minn of a largo number of the Citizens of this county, we appointed it commission, composed of 'scientific and practical gentlemen, to examine into the facts of thin CAW, and report the result of their investigation to the court. . . Of the commissioners appointed, one did not act, but the other three proceeded to discharge the duty imposed upon them ; of these three commissioners, two have submitted written statements; the third agreed with his colleacuee, but, by an unfortunate accident, was prevented from reducing the results arrived at by him to writing. , . We. cannot,state . the conclusion to wilich the commissioners arrived in clearer or stronger lan guage than the following, which we quote from the report made to the court "Upon comparing the re sults of our individual researches, we have, :With unanimity, arrived at the coriolusion that the source of the impure water can be traced only to the carpet works." The doubt heretofore existing as to the vital ques tion of fact in this cause has now been removed, and the result of a chemical analysis of the water dis tributed by complainants through their works, . which analysis WAS : fall° submitted to us at the pro. sent hearing, proves that during the last few years, the organic matter contained in each gallon of this water has been very considerably increased; the chemists who mode this analysis (Messrs. Booth and Garrett) declare that " the water has sensibly debt.... rlolited within ten years, that the injury 1s due to the dye works on the creek supplying the water and i that the quantity of organic matter per gallon s de cidedly ebjectionable in water for domestic pur poses." , . • The qu ation of fact, then, having been decided against t e defendant, has he a legal or equita ble right,' 'filch, for any reason, will compel ua to refuse thehid now sought by the complainant. Upon elk question of jurisdiction, it cannot seri ously.be coistended that the power of this court in not adequate to meet the emergency.

But thole must be such an injury as, from its nature, is not susceptible of being adequately com pensated by damages at law, or as from its continu ance or permansnt mischief occasicoura constantly recyrrins grievance, which cannot be otherwise prevented but by an injunction." This principle is well settled I.th in England and in the United Sthtes. The defendant, then, being, upon principle and au thority within the power of the:men, can only stand upon his prescriptive right; that is to say, having for a quarter of a eintnry used his carpet works and the water of the creek, the law will, as he contends, presume that heuses the water by virtue of a grant which will enable him to continue this tide 'forever. As an abstract piinciple of law, weVill'not eontend against the ,correctness of this proposition, but it is subject lei a molt important qualification, to wit : that .1 his use mast continue the same; he cannot suddenly increase to any extent this discharge, and thus render the water "more impure and unfit for use." (See the fen iner opinion delivered in this case, with the authorities cited.) . The question Of fast involved in this branch of this inquiry see s to me to be capable of an easy volution. These i atcrworks wer4eatablished ten or eleven years ago they have been in cpnstant use since, and it is innossible that the water could have been polluted to he extent now complained of for any very considerable period of time ; doubtless for some time past the quality of the water has deterio rated, but upon the report of the commissioners we cannotbelieve that the people of Germantown could have used it in its, present unnatural and offbnsive condition, if the condition of the water is to be traced to the impurities thrown into it at the . mill. Then some:widen increase of impure refuse matter must be the cause of the difficulty; to believe other wise is to disbelieve the testimony of competent men, and also (with the specimens before us at the last hearing,) of one's own senses. But it is said that the complainants have slept upon their rights, have been pithy of lathes.. We cannot perceive the force ofthia argument; the prescriptive right can only be acquired by a user of twenty-one years, and these waterworks have been in operation but eleven years ; besides, the Water Company have endeavored to avoid all trouble by attempting to exclude the pollut ed water from their dam. To a certain extent they succeeded; when, however, the defendant increased the flow of refuse water into the creek to such an extent as to destroy almost entirely the use of the water, then this bill was filed. Wheatleyvs. Baugh, 1 Casey, 828, decided that no presumption of a grant would arise until it was shown that the exercise of the privilege interfered with the right of a riparian owner in such a manner as to entitle him to legal redress. . The only remaining point in this case which re quires our notice is that made by defendants' coun sel. when they contend that it Is against public poli cy to interfere with the rights of manufacturers whose factories are situated upon streams upon which towns may be built and water works established ; it is contended that the attempt to furnish pure water to towns and cities may destiny these factories, and thus inflict general injury. In the view which we take of this case, it Is unne cessary to decide how far.`-the courts will relax the rules of law at present applicablelo this class of cases; each case must be decided on its own merits, and principles' cannot in any event be modified, where, upon the facts, there is no overwhelming ne cessity for such modification. ` • One of the commissioners, in his report in this case, after having elaborately considered the charac ter of defendants' factory, the nature of the streams of water, the surrounding drainage, and the mecha nical construction ofthe complainants' waterworks, says : • "In ' conclusion, I would add that a simple arrangement of piping from the factory,'or a subsi ding or storing reservoir for•lhis refuse. would pre vent all trouble), Bere t then, is a case which, upon the evidence now before us, is clear of doubt, where no prescriptive right has been established in favor of defendants, and in which the evil may be remedied by the use of ob vious means, FL nuisance exists which is exceedingly injurious to .the public health, which ought, at least for the present, to be restrained, with liberty to each party to establish his right at law. Ac, however, we intend to act in such a manner as to do as little injury as possible to the defendant and theme em ployed by him, we have determined to give him a reasonable time to abate the nuisance by the intro duction of the necessary . mecnatucal agencies. If he declines so to do, the injunction will, upon sufficient security being given by complainants, be immediate ly granted.

Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Sessions—Judge Allison. CONSPIRACY CASE. Commonwealth vs. Charles H. Harkness and Nor ris Harness. This was a writ of habeas corpus sus charge of conspiracy heard on Saturday, the prose cutor being a brother of the defendants. The facts, as developed on• the hearing, are substantially these: The firm of Charles Harkness & Sons for several years occupied the store corner of Fourth and Market streets, and carried on an extensive business as manufacturers of clothing. • The, de fendants were employed as clerks. In 1861 . the partnership wastcussoived, and Charles Harkness, the father of the defendants, was. appointed the liquidating agent, and the business was carried on in Chestnut st{bet, above Sixth. Mr. Harkness, the father, became ill,' and John H. Harkness was intrusted with the business, and he alleges that the defendants, without his knowledge, got the father to confessjudgMent in favor of Ureiner & Harkness, of which firm another brother, Win. H. Harkness, is a member. An execution was issued, and a sale made on the 9th of June, and the allegation is that the sale was made in the basement of the store, in the presence ,bf three or four persona only, and stock worth $lO,OOO was knocked down at $3,000 to Charles H. Harkness, one of the defendants. AU the proceedings connected with the sale were kept secret from John H. Harkness. A question was raised in the case in regard to the propriety of examining W. H. Harkness as a witness, he having been included in the warrant. The court reserved this point, and the case went over until next week. These feats, of course are but those developed in support of the prosecution. The defendants allege there are Other circumstances of the case which, when developed, will entirely and satisfactorily ex plain the whole transaction. D. you and F. 0.

To the Edjtor of The Pren Slit: As the time is near at hand for the members of Councils to elect men to fill certain offices in the city, allow me, through the columns of your paper, to point out to them certain grievances that ought to. be redressed, growing out of the oppressive and illegal, acts committed on the renters of stalls, by and through, the. Commissioner of Markets. One man, ;for. occupying-the back part'. of a . stall .that he hall rented and paid for, and had peaceable pos stealth of it for a score of years and more, was ar rested on a warrant from an alderman (since con victed, of misdemeanor in office) and dragged away fromhis business , as a common felon, and tined five dollaip without any hearing. Another, on being summoned before another alderman for a similar offence, -was let off, as the Commissioner could not ahowltliat the occupying of the back part of the stalls by the renters was any breach of ordinance whatever. Here the trouble should have ended;. but; it did not. The power behind the auntie was too great. The commissioner was still importunate, and insisted on the renters paying for the back'part of the stalls, and on their refusing to do so threatened them with line if they placed thereon the most tri-' fling thing, while loafers and pickpockets might oc cupy them with impunity. These, and other of fences from the same source without any cause, arc Just grounds for a general dissatisfaction among the taimers. Very respectfully, .
