NE ' NNE NNE NE .NNE NNE TOE SEAsOli OF LENT.—To-day is Ash Wednesday, the first "driy of Lent. It is so called ttrom the ancient custom of sprinkling ashes on the :heads of those ;who, on that day especially, were •sentenced by the chinch to.do public penance. Lent is the qu ad re gee im al fast—the feat of forty d eye °brier v •ed by the Roman Catholic and some other churches, in commemoration of the Saviour's fasting in the wilderness. Commencing upon Ash Wednesday, it continues until Easter. A nuMber of lagentleand observances are inseparably united with thisseason. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ. It 1 s said variously to be derived from Desire, the Anglo- Saxon name of an imaginary deity, honored by ye ,culiar festivities in April, and from ye!, a storm, the time of Easter being subject to a continual recur rence of unpleasant weather. This season, which tha liatiMmaaale milk nig WM:O finitilfiti UM MEM titg name given to the anniverinmy of the Saviouell -ertieltlitien, Is the Friday before Easter, and Is held as a solemn fast by a great part of the Christian • Church. That religious mortification by abstinence 'which is implied in the word fast, is practised in very different degrees by the members of those • churches by which it is enjoined. Ash Wednesday is milled by 'the fathers of the Church capul jejunii .(the beginning of the feast), or dies cinema (ash-day), 'in allusion to the custom of sprinkling ,the head with ashes. Thin use of ashes was expressive of very deep and bitter grief. David says he ate ashes like bread. In the first centuries of Christianity, - when public penance Wes imposed, ashes were cast upon the heads of those who were condemned. The ; penitents stood outside the gate of the church, amid the lamentations of the people inside. The ceremo. Mee of Ash Wednesday in Roman Catholic countries are a continuance of the antique ceremonials. The old linen of the altar was burned, together with fragments of consecrated wood. The ashes were carefully collected, and blessed by the priest, who, before the mass, attired in mourning robes, recited a penitential psalm. The faithful people approached and prostrated themselves. The priest marked with the ashes the forehead of each,repeating the anathema pronounced upon Adam, "Remember, man, that thou art duet, and unto dust shalt thou return." In Roman Catholic countries, Lent follows directly after the Carnival. 'The use of ashes is omitted by those branches of the Protestant Church which re tain any observances of Ash Wednesday. Lent is said to have been derived from the Saxon leaden • spring, when days begin to brighten, also from the German leinen, to draw. The forty days which it comprehends are explained variously, as celebrating the forty days of the Saviour's fast, the forty days of the deluge, the forty years' wanderings of the Jews, the forty days granted the Ninevltes for re pentance, and the time spent in fasting by Moses and Elias. Most writers of the fourth and fifth centuries say that the celebration of Lent was instituted by the apostles. Thirty-six days were first assigned it by the Church, but four days were soon added. In the Roman Catholic Church the nature of the fast is prescribed by rule. The proscription allows one meal a day and no flesh meat. A slight refec- tion is allowed morning and evening, not more than two ounces being permissible in the former and eight in the latter. Exceptions and dispensations are al lowed in particular cases. In the United States, the use of flesh meat is allowed several times a week at the discretion of bishops. In those Protestant de nominations which recognize Lent, the matter of fasting is left to,individualjudgment. The fourth Sunday in Lent la mid-Lent Sunday or Passion Sunday. Shrove Tuesday, which was yesterday, derives its name from the fast that on that day the people used to be shriven in preparation for the fast. Probably in neither this country'nor city are there any lingerings of the wild carnival celebrations which in Paris and Rome and Venice still immediately precede the serious observances which characterize the season of Lent. In the Ita lian cities particularly, frivolity and religion are brought very near together. The van carnival comes from carat kale—farewell to meat. If the streets of Philadelphia could be transfigured, just before Lent, similarly to the Venetian streets, the sight would be wonderfully gay and exhilarating. The pavements would be 'overhung with balconies draped with gaudy hangings and concealed with flowers; cant - ages, bon-bons, bouquets, puncliinellos, harlequins, clowns, quack doctors, quack lawyers, mounted dragoons, race-horses, and illuminations, would intake the streets doubly alive. As it is, there is no scelebration of the kind here.

The list of periodicals received at the Mercantile Li brary rooms embraces one hundred and eleven news papers, of which twenty-four are Pennsylvanian,' seven are British, one French, and one German. The literary and scientific papers number twenty-eight. The reviews and magazines number sixty-six. 'Thirty-two of these are foreign. The treasurer's report shows the resources for the year as $9,403.97, and the total expenditures 1;8,376.55. Theoppor tunny which this institution afibrds, for self-im .provement antradvancement in all departments of 'mental culture renders It one of the most valuable institutions of the kind in the city. The Franklin Institute Library comprises about nine thousand volumes. It contains no light litera ture. The subjects are mostly scientific. May of the books relate to history, biography, voyages and travels. Members not in arrears are entitled to the use of the library and reading room, (which is open dailyfrotri e.o'clock, A.

They also re ceive a season ticket for the lectures and exhibition, and a ticket for a lady to attend the lectures, and six single admission tickets to the exhibition for la dles or minors. The stated meetings of the 'natl. into are held on the third Thursday evening of each month, at which subjects connected with science and the arts are received and discussed. The lectures of the Institute onlmechanies, physics, and science are continued every Tuesday and Thursday. TREJIIYATICULTtIitaL SOCIETv.—A. stated . meeting of this society was held last evening, at their rooms, Broad and Walnut streets. The object of this society is to extend an interest in frints, - Rowers, and vegetables, and promote the culture of them. Cultivation is a science and an art; and hor ticulture, in its true sense, is a noble and scientific art, which aflbrds full employment for all of the mental and physical faculties of man to lead them forth to full; healthy development. But it is gene rally not so regarded, and lovers of the wonderful are always ready to trust rather to the marvelous operations of some new discovery that has been claimed to be made by some ignorant person, who •doea not know the first principles requisite to.suc- • .cesa In cultivation, than to the well-ascertained eon •oitions of success which require too much pains taking, study, and care for those whose imaginations have been fired with the idea of ouch instantaneous results as can only be produced by Aladdin's Lamp.

FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT—: Cann) tier( vs. THAN - I:h.—Some time since 'due • no tice was served by Charles W. Carrigan upon M. Russel Thayer, of the former'a intention to contest the right of the latter to a seat in the next Congress from the Fifth district. The contestant has been taking depositions in certain precincts In the Phila delphia portion of the district, where it was alleged that illegal votes had been counted and returned for Mr. Thayer. We understand that nothing was de veloped at any of these examinations having a ten , dency to impair Mr. Thames right to the seat which. he claims. It was not littown In any case that fraud had been practised in making out the returot. or that illegal votes had been received. A vast amount of testimony touching the case was taken, but it was really of very little moment. The examination in Bucks county commenced a• week or. ten days ago, the allegation being that illegal votes were counted for Mr. Thayer in dif ferent districts in the county. • A number of wit nesses, submenmd to be present , were called and ex amined. The examination took place before Jug and Riley, of Philadelphia. t Judge J o Johne p h lY Bryan was afterwards called in by the contestant, to assist the justices, and took his seat as the presiding officer. Mr. Carrigan and his counsel. James C. Vandyke; were promptly on b en d. Dir. Thayer was present to attend to his •'. !MUTE! .171114 P fltj• 111 TOM Rlqs-'Oll pisrimpagt fIR alcgall rind Mull that lilt objeotione • be ent ered upoq th e record, A stenographer was employed to keep a regular record of the pro ceedings. Several witnesses were examined, one of whom: produced the hallobbox used at the Plumatead tion. The witness was affirmed, and stated that he • was authorized by the officers of the election to re ceive the ballot-box and tickets, the inspectors having sealed up the boxes. Ife was clerk of the election, but did not see them seal up the boxes. The ballot-box was now produCed. Mr. Vandyke asked the witness to break the seals and open the box, for the purpose of counting the. votes, but Mr. Thayer protested, declaring the whole matter to be .in violation of law, and the witness declined. Mr. Vandyke himself was then about to open the box, but he hesitated. Justice Comly was then request ed to direct that the box he opened, but he did not see that he had any authority to so order, and mat ters came to a dead lock. The case was then de ferreVor a Short time. Subsequently, Judge Bryan was called in to assist the justices in Inking the depositions, and he di rected the ballot-box to be opened. The votes for Congress were then counted, when it was found that there were 355 ballots in the box for Mr. Thayer, and .V 25 for Mr. Carrigan—one less for Thayer, and one more for Carrigan, than was returned by the election officers—the aggregate number of votes returned being the same as the recount. The election officers must have made a mistake In counting the ballots. The ballots were afterwards replaced in the box, and . the lids sealed up. The proceedings in the contested-election case of Vallandigham against Campbell were frequently re ferred to by Mr. Vandyke as a precedent for the case on hand. Mr. Thayer said he did not want to hear it, and objected to the use of Vallandigham's name, • as It was offensive to him, and should not be men tioned in decent company. Mr. Vandyke replied:' "If we had a thousand such men at Washington, it would better for the country." A number of other boxes were opened, and the votes counted. The gains for Carrigan over the official vote, as shown by this recounting of the ballots, are 2 votes in Plurnsteitd, 20 In New Britain, and 3 in Lower Makefleld. Mr. Thayer gains one vote in Upper Maketleld, leaving a gain for Carrigan in the dis tricts named of 24 votes. - - . Mr. Vandyke asked Judge Wpm to order the ex amination adjourned till Tuesday, the third day of March, when they would meet at Frankford to re sume taking depositions in the ease. Mr. Thayer ordected to such an adjournment, and read from the act of Congress under which these examinations were held, to show that the time for taking deposi tions in the ease had expired, and could not he con tinued except by consent of the House of Repre sentatives. In order to satisfy the presiding magistrate, and show that hi could not legally extend the time for taking depositions, Mr. Thayer offered a witness to allow that sixty days had elapsed since notice hail been served by him upon the contestant, but Mr. Vandyke objected to receiving the testimony ' and Judge Bryan declined to hear the witness. He then ordered the examination adjourned till the third of March. Mr. Thayer then entered upon the record his of jectiona to such adjournment, announcing that be would not. attend in person or by counsel any ex aminations held after the expiration of the sixty days, and should object to the reading in Congress of all depositions taken contrary to law. THE NEW POST OFFICE.—The - new Post Office, in Chestnut street, below Fifth, will, it is ex pected, be open for the transaction of business, by The 22d of February. For some time back, workmen have been employed day and night, in order that the interior arrangements might be finished by , that time. When the structure is completeq, the public will wonder how so important a work could have been accomplished with only $55,000. The front is marble, and the workmanship by Edwin Greble. Postmaster Walborn designed the Post Office, and his views were consolidated .by the architect, who had been employed before Mr. Walborn entered on his official duties. There is no 'particular design in its architecture. It is cosmopolite—a happy blend ing of several orders under one general head. The lot extends north and south two hundred and eighteen feet. It has a front on Chestnut and TA- L .. ' - nitro' . BJ. Olden battering from the MIMI to a height of nix or seven ieet, apparently—pretty much on the prin ciple o f the sides of the *steamer New rroastrke. This kind of roof is very much in vogue in Paris. It is novel in Philadelphia. The main corridor extends 'from the Chestnut street front, on the west side of the building. It is paved with marble. The room designed for ladles is paved with the same material. The office of the postmaster is located between the ladies , room, and the chief clerk's rostrum; and this latter structure is elevated sufficiently to enable the clerk to take a bird's eye view of the entire interior, and observe the workings in all the departments. The main entrance to the Post Office is about the middle of the east front, access to which is had by a well-paved thoroughfare, enclosed with iron railing and gateways. The- several departments in the Interior are partitioned off to the extent of four feet from the ground floor, the partitions being sur mounted with a neat Iron railing eighteen inches In height.. The arrangement for general delivery is entirely new, and of a character that in sures great convenience to the people. Great care has been.taken in arranging for the registry de partment, so that no person outside the clerk and the customer can 'possibly know what is being re. gistered. The applicant for registering any mail matter comes in one doorway and makes his exit through another. The carriers have separate apart ments, with suitable tables. A magnificent safe, finished to order, will defy the power of fire or the efforts of thieves. Every arrangement has been per fected for the quick and safe delivery, of all mailable matter. The newspapers 'will be received and de livered on the Librarpstreet front. The second story of the building is arranged for the District Court of the United States, Circuit Court, offices for commissioners and attorneys, rooms for grand and petit juries, and rooms for wit messes, male and female; in connection with which there are vacant rooms that may be used for storage.

Mrs. Moore and Dire: Lamprhoff identified the totals. The prisoner was' committed. Up to the present time there are three bills of indictment against her, upon which, if convicted; she can receive a heavy sentence, under the discretion of the court. She is charged withatenling more goods, that the ollicerthinks he will recover in a short time. Any more bills of indietMent drawn agnimither will only tie a useless expense to the county. A man, giving the name of (teorge Jones, was at , taigned yesterday morning on the charge of com mitting an assault and battery on a colored woman named Ann White.. It seems that the two parties got into . an altercation near Tenth and Oallowhill streets. Jones was somewhat under the influence of liquor.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania—Justice s ' Woodward, Thompson, Strong; and B.ead. Among the deciaions rendered on Monday by the Supreme Court, the following is one of the most important. 'The question raised in the case was whether a married woman, to whom real estate had been devised to her sole and' separate use, tree from the debts of her husband, could convey or mortgage the property according to the decision of the Su preme Court of this State in Haines vs. Ellis, 12 Harris, 253, or whether she was restrained from so doing by the ruling in the case of Lancaster vs. Dolan, 1 Rawle, 231, and the later case of Foster vs. The penneyWania Insurance Company,, it Casey, 134, the devises giving her express authority to con- vey or mortgage. The court has decided' hat the' mortgage she executed was void. The debision is of great importance. and we present it in full : • • s , Brown vs. Wright. Error to the District. Court of, Philadelphia. Opinion by Strong, ..T. All the title of Mrs. Brown was derived immediately or me (irately from 'Robert Fleming. By his will, dated December 17, 1844, and proved April 17, 1845, he de vised all the residue of his estate, not previously dis posed of, to a nephew and his four nieces, of wham Mrs. Brown was one, to hold to them their heirs and assigns, as tenants in common. The devise was accompanied by the following declaration : "It is also my will that the property hereby , bequeathed to my . said four metes, for their sole and separate use, shall be free from all liabilities for the debts and contracts, or other engagements of any husband or husbands, each or any of them has, or may at any- future time have." Mrs. Stewart, also one of the four nieces (devisees under Mr. Fleming's will) subsequently died, after having made her will which was duly proved on the sth of July, Me, by which she devised to her sister, Mrs. Brown, to and for her sole and separate use, the residue of her estate, not other wise given. To this devise she added the following provision : But it is my will that the aforesaid devise and bequest fo my sister Margaret shall be and enure to and for her sole and separate use free from any debts, contracts, engagements, or liabili ties of her present or any future hvaband, and that she is to enjoy the full income of the same (after paying the , before-mentioned sums bequeathed by me) during her life time, and that at her death all that share here devised and bequeathed shall go, and I do hereby devise and bequeath' the same, to such person or persons, and for such estates as the :Saltei SLID bp bit Maul t - Inimmtmant, ill MI 111 P Malmo. 1111111111. may am emu, I givolimirto analequemil the same to her son Robert F.l3rovrn, and his heirs." When thew devisee were made Mrs. Brown was a feme covert, intermarried with William Brown, lind her coverture has not yet ceased. The first question raised by this record, and the , only one which It is necessary for us to consider is, whether, during the life of , her husband, Mrs. Brown has power to mortgage the property devised to her by these wills or either of them. It is plain that the interest devised in each of them was a separate estate. The gift was expressly to the sole and separate use of the devisee, and the husband was also excluded by the provisions that the property should be free from any of his debts, contracts, engagements, or liabilities. It was not the less a separate estate because the gift was made without the intervention' of a trustee. • That is wholly unimportant. The wife's 'interest is the. seine whether the gift is to her directly, or to a trustee for her. 'lt does not depend upon theformal mode in which the gift has been made. At law she • can hold no separate estate in lands ; such an estate . is recognized only in .equity; and if lands be given, to her separate use, and no trustee be named, a court of equity will convert the husband into a trustee for her. , This is too firmly settled teeth:nit of question. See Clancy on Married Women 256, and eases coll.'. lected 'in Hare and Wallace's notes to White and:.. Tudor's Leading Cases in Equity, vol. i, 419. It; has very often been so ruled in this State. And as the wife's interest in her separate estate is not affected by the -fact that there is - no trustee named in the instrument creating her estate, as it is the same -such a case as it would hail there been a trustee named, there is no reason.why her powers, incident merely to ownership of the estate, should be'greater in one ease than in the other. , The deed or will which settles the property to her separate use may give powers; which without it do not be long to the ownership of: a separate' estate, but the nomination of a' trustee is neither an' enlargement nor is it restrictive of her power over the property. ' Regarding, then, the lands devised to Mrs. Brown by Mr. Fleming and Mrs. Stewart as in equity held in trust for her sole and separate use, the rule in this State is, unless it has been changed by the married woman's act of 1848,1 bat she cannot alienate or en cumber them, unless- the power to do so was ex pressly conferred by the wills that gave her the sepa rate estate. This was the rule laid down in Lancaster vs. Dolan, 1 Rawle, 231; and it was unflinchingly ad hered to in numerous cases, certainly until after the passage of the act of 1848; and it has been maintained ever since, unless Harris vs. Ellis, 12 Harris,W'r.3, was a departure. In the Pennsylvania Insurance . Company vs. Foster, ii Casey, 184, it was reiterated, and that in view of the provisions of the act of 18/8, which were regarded as defining a different separate estate, in a wife, front a equitable separate estate created by a conveyance to her separate use. True, there was no trustee named in the first of these eases, and there was in the second. But that, as we have seen, can have nothing to do with the wife's power of disposition of the estate granted. Now, the very purpose, in making-a settlement to the se parate use of the wife, is to exclude the husband. But, as was well said by Chief Justice Gibson, in Thomas vs. Poised', 2 Whart., 11, "To exclude his direct control, which consists in an exercise of legal power, and yet leave him the means of giving effect to an in direct control, which consists in an exercise , of personal influence, is to do nothing." He add ' ed,. "The modern doctrine of courts of, equity is founded on what appears to be a misconception of the leading purposes of,a settlement, which is obviously to disable the husband, and not to enable the wife, at least further than may be consistent with the security of her title, of which the grantor ought in the particular case to be the judge. The object is not so much to give her the dominion of a femme sole, which every man of experience knows would in a countless number of instances defeat the principal intent, as to withdraw the estate from the dominion of the husband." Similar observations have been made by others, and they are most just.' All experience proves that the highest protection of the wife against her husband is in her disability, in her, want of power to. yield. to his solicitations, or give way to'ber sympathies. It was knowledge of this which led to the adoption of the rule ie Lan caster vs. Dolan, rather than its opposite,'whtch prevailed in some other States. Now, it would be • -strange indeed if the act of 1848 has taken away from the wile any of that protection of her separate property, against her husband, which she enjoyed before its enactment. ,It was because it was thought she had not protection enough that ' the act was passed.. Her separate property was secure. She had no other power over that than the donor had chosen to give her 'expressly. If the, deed or will which made the settlement gave her no 'power of alienation, no solicitation of the husband, no practice upon her affection or her fear could avail to enable him to obtain control of the - estate .settled to her separate use. But her legal estate, whether Acquired before or af ter marriage; was all unprotected. Of this, her chosein possession became absolutely his; he sue cesded to her dominion over her choses in action, and to the legal ownership of the use of her realty during life. This 'Was the supposed Mischief toe which the. Legielature undertook to provide are medy, not by'taking awry the wife's security for,her equitable separate estrite,. hut by making her legal estate, that which her hus ba nd could reach, blames ? . Bible to him by converting it into what was denomis acted, in Pennsylvania Insurance Company vs. Fol.' ter, a legal, separate estate. It was, perhaps, not surprising that the same sympathy for the wife, which led to the Passage of the act, should find its way into the courts, and receive expression in Cum ' mingle appeal, 1 Jones, 272, in which it was held that " a married woman 'must hereafter be considered a feme sole, in regard to any estate, of whatever name . or' ort, owned by her before marriage, or which shall accrue to her during coverture, by will, descent, deed of conveyance, or otherwise." It was soon, hoWever, discovered that such a construction of the act would defeat the object which the Legislature had do view in passing it. and Cummings' appeal was overruled. It was while the doctrine of that case stood unchallenged that Haines vs. Ellis was decided. - The true meaning of the act had not been ascertained, and, it was misunderstood. Standing by the oroad language used in Cummings' appeal, the court said of a deed to a married woman, for her . sole and separate use, , that it gave her precisely the same estate which any conveyance in . the ordi nary form of a deed lrefee simple would give, since the act of 1898.; .There is no trust created. There Is no trustee appointed, nor Is there any occasion for one. There is no restriation'imposed by the con yeyrucce upon her right to sell. It is not the case of a power, but of an interest." It was for these reg ions ruled that she might conveys Certainly,- how ever,'uniess the act of 1848 causes a change, a deed to a'married woman for her separate use does create : a 'trtist, 'though' no trustee be named; and it is re st t ietion Of the wife's power to sell or mortgage. On' that au hject silence is prohibition. And it is plain that the act of 1848 has no reference to the form or.effect.. of ft deed or will. It touches only the effect of the mare s riage relations. It dote not undertake to . say that. what -was a trust before its passage is a trust no longer, or to make that a legal estate which before was merely equitable. - • The truth is, Haines -vs:. Ellis is not consistent with the doctrine asserted In • the later case. The Pennsylvania Inaurance'Com- . party vs. Foster, ri Casey, 134. There is no sub=" etantial difference between a trust implied from the. separate nature of the use declared, and one ex=", , pressly given in trust for a separate use. ' and if, as • was held an the ease in 11th Casey, the latter is not affected by the act of 1848, the • former cannot be, with much force was it remarked by the learned judge of the District Court, that "even if the estate of the femme covert in Haines vs. Ellis was merely legal, we should still be at a loss to distinguish that case 'from the Pennsyl , va nia Insurance Company vs. Foster, or to give any sufficient reason why the trust in the latter should not have been governed by the rule laid down in the former. The equitable estates and interests of mar ried women cannot be withdrawn from the operation . of the net of 1848 for one purpose, without with : drawing them from all; and depriving • them of the protection which that act was meant to afford. If trusts '•a re not wit bin.- the enabling .power _which Haines vs. Ellis ascribes to that act, as it regards the wife; t h ej, min n °the Within it* disabling operation ' on the husband; and he may still exercise the same contra over flees as before -the act was passed, - in Orin conb arention of its scope and mean ing." In fine,. we have no doubt the cue of The Penn sylvania Insurance Company vs. Foster was well decided, that the act of 1848 has no refe tates settled to the separate use of marri l whether a trustee he named in the deed of or not, and that in both caeca married w no powersof alienation beyond suoh as a given in . ,the Instruments by which t are created. Haines vs. Ellis is not aco elation of the law. And, as neither by N r. Fleming, nor by that of Mrs. Stewart! power conferred upon Mrs. Brown to mo separate estate, the mortgage to the pia! unauthorized and void. • • The judgment of the District Court is rev judgment is given for the defendants, o stated.

An action to recover damates for the alleged negligence of the defendants; the result of which was an accident on the Delawarel Railroad, which is leased and used by the'defendan ) whereby the deceased was killed. ' . . The evidence produced by the plaintiff developed the following facts: The defendants lease and use the Delaware Railroad, which runs from) Wilming ton to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, afid the de ceased was employed as a laborer on that , road. On the morning of the 16th of January, 1661, about 3): o'clock, the deceased, with a number of other laborers, started from Wilmington on a train of cars bound down the road to load with wood. 'When the train .reached New. Castle, it was reversed ; What had been the • rear car, in which were the laborers, becoming the first; and in this manner it proceeded on. On reaching the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal, whiolicrosses the railroad about twelve miles below NeW Castle, the pirot-bridge there was open, and the Whole train was precipitated down the embankment into the ditch immediately in front of the canal, and many of the laborers were either killed or dreadfully wound ed. Michael McGuire was one of those severely wounded, and in the course of two days afterward died from the injuries he had sustained. The alleged negligence that causell the accident was the failure, on the part of the company, to notify.the bridge ten der of the coming of this train, - which was not a regular one. .. The plaintillh, after proving -these ;facts, clotied their case, and the defendants moved for a non-suit. assigning thefollowing reasons • Pint.
