The Pirate Alabama—Eleventh Army Corps Reviewed-Major, General Butler's Head— . Army of the Cumberland—Gen. Corcoran in the New York Legislature—Col. Kes& derer's Death—Sketch of Gen. Mitchel. . • THE - PIRATE ALABAMA AT JAMAICA. A gentleman who left Moccasin on the sth inst. .reports great insubordination among the crew of the Alabama. She has 130 men. Of theae,'6s went ashore at Port Royal. and positively refused to re turn. The active efforts of the American consul, together: with the influence of the released prisoners from the Hatteras, filled the minds of the sailors with diatrust It was represented to them that their chances of receiving prize money were exceedingly dublons;inaamuch as the Alabama WAS first to enter a Confederate port before the distribution could be made; and then only at the order of the rebel Go .. • veriiment. . . _ . It appears that when . Semmes burns a captured vessel, be. appraises ..her value, and credits the amount to the crew, subject 'to 'the stipulations already mentioned, so‘.that the sailors of the . Ala bama are receiving only ordinary seamen's wages. ,This fact necessarily "creates : discontent among the . men, and it was with the utmost difficulty he was . . able to preserve the number of his crew and carry his ship out of the harber. It'would have been im possible so to do but for the active assistance of. an English Magistrate and merchant;named Colthirst, who gave orders to :the chief of policeto have the seamea'arreited and sent on board. As soon as the mayor of Kingston heard of this action of Mr. Col thirst, be countermanded the order, but it was too late. All but four of the men by. that •time had been returned to the 'Alabama by the police, in obe-. thence to Colthlrat's order. Before this timely in-' terverition of .Mr. Colthirst,• a lieutenant of the Alabama had offered a boatman $lOO in gold for every sailor 'he would kidnap and bring on board.' Mr. Colthirst's plan, however, • proved• • more efe feetive than the lieutenant's. little project of making the men drunk and then kidnapping•them. .• A 'curious admission was made by the officerof the Alabama, to the following effect: That it was um's miry to recover the men in the secret. and somewhat dishonorable way which was suggested to the boat man, because the Confederates , were not a recog- • nized Power, and could not legally require the as sistance of the authorities of the port. Sesames and hie officers had abundance of money; principally in gold. The demand treasury notes • w hich . Sem mes stole from the. steamer , Arid (amounting to about $8,000) were exchanged for gold at Kingston. The. Alabama took in 900 tons of coal, and , immense quantities of stores during her stay in port. She left • Port Royal on the 30th of January, and the pilots of the harbor have since reported that the erew—many , of whom continued drunk—remained In a state of insubordination. "It was reported at Port-au-Prince that the Alabama had made two or three newinazes within six days after her departure from Port Royal. This news was received by express from Jacmel, and it was added that two captains of captured American vessels had been landed'bv Semmes. • 'THE ELEVENTH ARMY CORPS. Last Tuesday wail a gala day at Staffbrd Court House with the troops around Stafford. It was the occasion .of a grand review of the eleventh corps, Army of the Potomac, by General Hooker... The day 'was as genial as though it were in the month of May. The sun appeared to shine more brightly than usual; and as it reached its meridian height the troops were drawn up in line. ..- • • • The array was characterized by more than ordi. , nary splendor. As General Hooker rode up, mounted on his beautiful white charger, he was saluted' with the • applauee of the whole line; the' band!playing "Hail to the Chief." By his side was General Sigel,- ' on hie handsome black steed. The display was ex tremely imposing. The site chosen for the occasion Wairaost admirably selected. It was Stevens' farm, which is about a mile from there, a large open , level, skirted on all. sides by. stately forests of green pines, which added much to sthe alai of the occasion. The review of the corps took place by. divisions. • The drat that appeared was the 2d, Gen. Steinwehr . 'commanding; - t h en came the 3d, G en. Schurz ; and ' finally the Ist, Gen. 'Stahl. • . The men performed the various evolutions. of the :line with great precision. Much commendation was bestowed upon them for their efficiency in drill and their soldierly . appearance. Gen:llooker was accompanied by Gens. Butter -field and Sickles, together with a large retinue. FOWLER'S PHRENOLOGICAL -EXAMINA TION OF. THE . HEAD OF. MAJOR GENE RAL B. F. BUTLER. A few evenings since General Butler consented to sit for-the purpose of a Phrenological examination by Prof. O. S. Fowler, the well-known phrenologist. The following is the result. We employ theprofes sor's own language: ' Your three prominent traits of charabter are—sa gacity, force,;: - anti ,indomitability. Your ;largest phrenological organ is friendship. You are very ob stinate, and, despite all obstaeles, will accomplish your purpose, if such be within the bound's of reason. Your success halite is to be attributed. more to your tenacity of purpose than to any other cause. This greater the opposition you meet with, the greater . determination will you evince. You are destined to . . bear down all opposition. - Your second great quality is force._ Combative ness and destructiveness are very large, and render' you' resolute, determined, and brave. The greater the danger the more cool and resolute you become. You excel in debate,- are sure to become a 'promi nent orator arid leader in conventions, legislative, and other like-bodies, where a clashing of ideas and interests requirea the utmost force and energy in or der to carry given measures; and if such can be carried, you are the. one to - effect it. You-relish strife, struggle, contest, coping , with difficulties. and especially with men much more than the luau- - ry and leisure of life. 'lour indignation is tremen- - does, and you have never yet, and never will, fail lu _ punishing your enemies, and severely. Their best course is to let you alone. You have every quality requisite for rendering you an e ffi cient and .superior military officer. • ' You are not as progressive a thinker as you are sagacious and sensible. Instead of reasoning your self through ponclueions, and jumping at one bound from facts as they exist to results, you reason from all sides of a subject,-and rarely err in your deed- Mona. Your memory is excellent. Can acquire, knowledge with facility, and use it to the best, ad vantage, and are one in ten thousand for genuine shrewdness and practicability. You methodize everything. Remember faces, but are apt to forget names and dates. Are fluent and forcible in speech,. and often eloquent. Are a first best judge of men, rarely ever deceived in them, and have superior me chmucal ingenuity. If trained to it, would excel as a military or civil engineer and director of work and working men. - . • You are sure to make whit you touch pay. You are an excellent judge' of the value' of property. Are almost skeptical in matters of religion. Are more radical than conservative, and if ever inclined to be conservative are so from policy. You have really a high order of practical benevo lence and genuine good-feeling as well as 'philars; thropy ; are truly patriotic, and also ambitious, which: two qualities happily mingle; are tolerably conscientious, but less, so than formerly; have un bounded hope, and the highest order of enterprise, and willing to undertake important risks. Have not as much discretion as valor; are calculated to acquire notoriety and retain it. You have indeed every element of success. The one phrase which expresses most of your character is "Love' of Triuniph." You have a constitution requisite for' sustaining your large and powerful brain, and .a really inexhaustible fund of vitality. • ARMY. OF THE CUMBERLAND.

Mitchel, commanding poet at Nashville, recently f published in your paper in which he pro video or the quartering ofcertain rebel prisoners on some of the rich female rebels in that place. Thinking that a few facts in regard to General 'Mitchel might be acceptable, and having known him for several years, I will give you what informa tion I have: General Robert 8.-Mitchel is about forty years of 'age, and was born in Ohio. When he reached the suitable age, he was admitted to the practice of the law. He also took, an active part in the political affairs. of . the State, joining his fortune. to those of the Democratic party. He soon bad a flourish ing and lucrative professional business, and attained to considerable political inflimnoe. In the spring of 1857 he moved to Linn county, Kansas, where he established a good . farm, and took an active part in the then exciting .polities of the Territory, taking ground with the conservative wing of the free-State party, supporting the policy of Governcirs Denver,' Walker, and subsequently. filedary. He hold a seat In the Legislatures of '57 and '5B. • * Upon the organization of parties he went -to his' old friend and was appointed Treasurer of the Ter ritory by Gov. Medary, which office he filled until the admission of Kansas as a State. On the breaking out of the rebellion be raised A regiment of three.months .voluntemn, (241 Kansas,) and was immediately sent to the support of General Lyon.

GALVESTON—THE•HARRIET LANE: - NEW Onr.serrs, Feb. 9, 1863.—The gunboat Owen.' co, whose name will be familiar to you in connec tion with the Galveston disaster, has made another trip to that ill-omened. locality. She left New Orleans on the 29th of January, her commander; Oapt.'Wileen, being ordered to endeavor to ascertain the position of the rebel land-batteries and the state of things in general. lie was instructed' to do no more, and to avoid Fringing on a premature engage zuent between the- enemy and the gunboata•block ading the harbor. In the event of the latter' be. coming inevitable, instructions have been issued to especially avoid tiring upon a convent situate In the western portion of the city, as it is known to be the residence of a few humane and devoted . nuns, ivho have signified their intention to remain to take care of the sick and wounded of both sidini. The Owasco returned to this port on the morning of the Bth of this • month. What information she brought beyond the general statement that the rebels were very burly building batteries is un known. Its importance may. be surmised by the fact that Commodore Farragut left on the same evening, in the City of Hartford for Galveston: Captain Wilson is of the opinion that the Harriet Lane is seriously disabled. Hedeclaree that he new a small river steamer towing her up the stream, as' for repairs. . . . A FLAG OF TRUCE A rebel flag•of--truce boat, a sailing vessel, made its appearance oft Ilickock's Landing in, morning. It came from Madisonville, across Lake Pontchar. train. -It is believed that the real purpose was to gain some information relative to the movements which are believed to be on' foot in this department; or which will probably be inaugurated in a few days. The professed purpose was in relation to the ex.' change. of prisoners. The rebel authorities claim that the list of rebel prisoners in this department is smaller than that of the Federal prisoners, and con sequently it is believed that a demand was made for: the release of the rebel prisoners now held here. The rebels are also very anxious to get blancosas in their-power; Mancosas, who deserted the rebel flag, and is charged with having killed two rebel 'officers in effecting - TBE'PAYMENT OF SLAVES On the 6th init., a meeting of the planters of this vicinity was held oin the St. Charles Hotel, for the purpose of adopting some resolutions in accordance with a recent order of General Banks, recommend ing the payMent of slaves for their labor. ,In ao cordance-with- thiii,' the - Sequestration Commis: sionlacting under the General's instruction) has issued the following notice : NEW Ortvearis, Feb. 5, 1863.—The officers of the Government will induce the slaves to return to the plantations where they belong, with their families, and when returned will require them, and those re maining upon the plantations,. to work diligently. and faithfully for one year, to Maintain respectful deportment to their employetv, and perfect subordi nation to their duties, upon condition that the planters or other employers will feed, clothe, and. treat them properly, and give to them, at the end of the year, one-twentieth part of the year's crop, or a fined monthly compensation, in eases where it may be more convenient, as follows : . • " Mechanics, sugar-makers, drivers, - etc...... 58 each.

BECKWITH, Colonel, President Sequestration Commission. . Gen. Banks was present at the planters , meeting before mentioned, and obliged those assembled with an explanation of his views and intentions. After some discussion, they determined to accept the or, rangement proposed, and agreed to abide by it for one year from the date thereof,'it being diatinctlx understood that the crop referred to meant the com: mercial crop, and that the acceptance of the contract did not imply the surrender of any right of property in the slaves, or other right of the owner. In other, words, the planters made thebeet of what they Cork , shier a coinpulaory bargain, being as tenacious as is. possible of their human chattels. .—. - 7. In accordance with this agreement, Geri. Banks has, under date of February 6, issuetha • circular, authorizing the reception of signatures' to' it, and providing for the carrying out in good faith the pro- visions on the part of the authorities. • . . AFFAIRS AT BATON ROUGE At Baton Rouge, until very recently, nothing seems to have transpired of consequence: The Essex..keeps watch and ward on the river above, as usual, occasionally steaming up to within a safe distance of Port Hudson, just to see how things look in that direction. At Louisiana's capital, in order to avoid any gratuitous panic, in case of at tack, it is understood among the inhabitants that if they hear the "long roll " beat, they are to flock to the levee there to abide the turn of events. The 114th New. York is now quartered in the peniten tiary ; the Stir New Hampshire (once on the oppo site Bide of the river) near the United States bar reeks. On the last night of the. preceding month the first-mentioned regiment gave a "minstrel" en tertainment in the large hall of their building, at which Generals Grover and Dudley, and, many field and staff - officers, attended. The pecuniary results, $l4O, were devoted to the regimental hospi tal. There are now two 'hotels open at Baton Bouge. both better supplied with guests than the means of satisfying them. One, the yerandah, the proprietor of which charges $2.50 for :board per day, declaring that tuaremunerativn, has been in operation for four CLEANING OUT OF THE TEOHE To-day or to-morrews witnesses 'the inception of a movement dezigned to " clean out" the Teche (pro nounced Tash) country of the rebel forces in posses sion of it. 'lt will be attempted as follows : Gen. Weitzel, who left this oily on the afternoon of the Bth for hie headouettere at Thtbaudauxville, will advance with his brigade from Brashier City up the Teche country; Gen. Paine, with an equal com mand, simultaneously descending the Mississippi' froni Baton Rouge to .Plaquemine, and thence pro ceeding by the bayous of that plentifully irrigated region across. the La Fourche district, with the iu tention.of: effecting a junction with Gen: Weitzel, before which considerable work must be performed by the latter. Let me endeavor to describe its mi- On the left bank of the Teche bayou is Paterson vile, which must necessarily become the base of Gen. 'Weitzel's military operations, standing in a ••'district burnt and devastated in the recent expedi ..tion from Berwick's Bay, which resulted in the de.. struction of the Cotton and the death of Commander Buchanan. Two miles further up is a formidable obatruction, placed in the stream byllie rebels,'coni ' prising a sunken steamboat, two Hat boats, and a raft of live oaks, the whole presenting an impene trable barrier until removed. Beyond this; and an abrupt bend of the bayou; about four miles from PatersonvWe, are two rebel batteries on either side of the rivet, comprising fourteen guns, defending the town of Centreville. The next point of resist- ance is Franklin, ten miles from the entrance of the Teche. Last of all we come to New-Iberia, or New town, a strongly4ortifled place, where, if our troops penetrate thither, the struggle must culminate. The number devoted to this service, comprised in both brigades, is 9,000 men, of whom 8,000 are in fantry, about 600 cavalry, and the remainder serving in the live batteries accompanying the expedition. .Of them,' General. Paine takes but 3,000, General Weitzel the remainder, his being the lion's share * both' of 'danger and reswisibility. The district through which General Paine's men will march is nominally in our possession and free from guerillas. The occupation of that invaded by General Weitzel ' Inevitably involves a struggle. The force of the enemy, commanded by Colonel Dick Taylor (formerly of this city), is estimated at. 6,600 Men; Including 1,500 cavalry, two regiments of the regular Confederate army, three batteries—one of them Simma'—and a number of conscripts. They are now encamped at 'Centreville and• Franklin. If driven .successfully from those places, they *will probably fall back upon and make a stand at New- • /belie. • Among the other defences of that place may • be enumerated the guns of the Cotton, recovered from the bottom of the bayou for that purpose. 'Five email gunboats—the Calhoun, Kinsman, Es trella, . accompany the expedition. Gen. 'Paine has three transports for the conveyance of his men. ' ORDER. RELATING TO NEGROES..

The Delta thinks it can explain. where 'Mr. Mem zninger, Secretary of the rebel Treasury, procured . the $2,500,000 lo,coin, of which he speaks in..the in tercepted correspondence. It says: "It is all that is left of the coin sent 'out °Mew Orleans by the banks for safe keeping : The balance has doubtless been used in purchasing arms from Europe, and paying the salaries of those higia.in of in subsidizing the London Dimes and probably a few Northern papers. The fund has been man aged so economically that, out of about, $8,000,000 deposited in April last there wae still $2,500,000 at the date of Mr. Memm inger's letter ; for the reason, probably, that it was too hazardous to attempt to run the_blockade with it.

' This was followed by a most appropriate and impressive prayer; by Rev. Joseph H. Jones. The funeral sermon was then delivered by the co-pastor, Rev. Mr. Morris C. Sutphen: The great point referred to by the young preacher, in re gard-to the chataCter of his late reverend co-mate,. was its completeness. Many men, in religious and other departments of 'llle, are cut down in the strength of manhood. Many men were re moved from their labors when they had just entered upon them ; many when their labors were but half accomplished. The. Rev. Dr.. McDowell was born upon the 10th of September, 1180, and was the con temporary of,the elder Alexander, Miller, and Car nahan. Born in the dark days of the Revolutionary era, lie died in the dark days of rebellion. Re lived to seethe Commonwealth rent .with fury. He was a .member of the Convention which' formed the Bible Society; and a 'member also of 'the society. which founded the Theological Seminary at Prince ton: The cause of various missionary, tract, and educational societies helikewise. espoused. The number of synods In Which' he was then interested was seven; presbyters, thirty-one; ministries, three hundred and seven, and churches six hundred and seventy-four. Now, in the old school alone, there numbered—synods, thirty-five;.. presbyters, one hundred and 'seventy-five; ministries, twenty eight • hundred and fifty-seven, and churcheis thirty-six hundred and eighty-six. It did not often happen that a lifetime full of years was full of work. Labor, however, and its success • hid filled the life of the 'Rev. Dr. McDowell. On the 16th December, 1824, he 'was installed pastor of the Elizabethtown church r in the charge of which he continued until the fifty-third year of his age. He was then called to the Central Presbyterian Church of this city, - allowing scarcely a week to elapse between his farewell to the one and his introductory address to the other. In the pulpit of this church he continued for twelve and a half years. But not even with thie second, labor did his work cease. At sixty-live years of age he founded the Spring Garden 'Preeblterian'ehurch, at that time located in a most deserted and •unattractive situation. By his' own exertions he insured the favor of eight hundred sub scribers of various religious denominations, and con tinued unaided at his post until the lst of Oc tober, 1861, when he completed the eighty-first year of hie age, and the fifty-seventh of his ministry. Ae an author, the Rev. Dr. McDowell' was very industrious. The System of Theology, -in two volumes ; The Bible Class Manual,.aleo in two volumes, and' The Bible Class Questions, are stand ing evidences of theme. As a public officer his ener gies- were devoted to the Church. As connected with the Board of Domestic Missions, the College of New jersey, and the Princeton Theological Semi mary, his labors speak for themselves, and will long continue to shed a beneficent influence abroad. • - He yeas not only, a worker, .however; he was also st succesaful worker. The result of his la bors' Wes . extraordinary and visible. During his first charge very-many souls were brought into the -kingdom.. The: whole number le the various churches under his charge, gathered into the fold through his instrumentality, amounted to two thousand, of whom thirteen hundred were converted by his•immediate Instrumentality. The chatacter of this eminent divine, as a man, a' Christian ' - - and a minister of Christ, was then touched upon. The completeness and uniformity of the character were truthfully traced. The Rev. Dr. McDowell, in•his deeds of charity; in his fulfilment of home and pastoral duties ; rn hie consistent kind ness to all, and in his detailed and , conscientious discharge of duty to the members of his numerous congregations, was a fully-developed Christian. • The concluding addresses and prayers by Rev. Dr. Green, Rev. Dr. Hodge, Rev. , Dr. McClean, and Rev. Dr. 13oardinan, - were exceedingly appropriate and • impressive. , -The -.addresses referred-in brief, but interesting expreisions, to the early life of the late Rev: Dr. McDowell, and were truthful tributes to his incalculable worth. The services at the grave were conducted by Rev. Mr. •Everard Kepshell, of Elizabethtown, N. J. He was accompanied by the session of the church of wideirthe Rev. Dr. - MeDoWell was the early pastor. ThCbenediction at the grave was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Thomas G. Allen, of the Episcopal Church; a former pupll of Rev. Dr. 'McDowell. The inscrip tion upon the coffin, which was entirely undecorated with flowers, was. Amply "Rev. John McDowell, D.-15., born Sept. 10th, 1780, died Feb. lath, isia." The alrvices throughout were moat solemn and affecting. Philadelphia has lost one of her most hard-working and successful pastors, and one who will be very long remembered. The. Rev. Dr. Mc- Dowell was one whose deeds will Hire after him, and whose influence, like the quality' of mercy, blessed him that gave, and him that took. Before the funeral cortege proceeded to Wood lands cemetery, where the body was interred, the congregation had an opportunity of viewing 'the re mains for the last time. They were very natural and composed in their appearance. The large audi• once departed very much impressed with the so lemnities of the proceedings and the sad cause which had occasioned them. THE LENTEN SEASON.—Yesterdar being . Ash' Wednesday, was religiously observed ,in the churches of the Catholic, Episcopalian, and Lu theran denominations. The Catholic churches, palticUlarly, were throughout the day visited by large numbers of " the faithful," who received upon their foreheads the ashy emblem of their mortality.

Tyr.xn.—The officers and men of the first 'brigade, third divislon,.Fifth army corps ) are- about to perform a,graceful -act towards their chief coin. 'mending officer, General B.. Tyler. This brigade, Composed of the following Peaneylvania regiments— Blet, Cid. E.' M. Gregory; 126th, Lieut. Colonel: D: W. Rowe; 12eth, Lieut. Colonel Armstrong (late. J G. Frick),• and the latth, Col. E. 0: Brien, has con tributed a sufficient sum to present GenerallTyler with a splendid testimonial, and appointed a com mittee to execute their wishes, composed of the fol lowing persona r General J. B. King, J. L. Rainey, Esq., of Ohio; Colonel M. S. Quay, State agent of 'Pennsylvania at Washington; Dr. John 'W. Wel . lace, 111. C., and Charles I'. Diehl, Esq., of this city. In accordance with their instructions, the com mittee havepurchased, for presentation to General Tyler, on the 224 inst., the aniversary of Washing ton's birthday, a horse, saddle, and equipments, in cluding a magnificent sword, sash, belt, and spurs. Gen. Tyler is one of the heroes of this war whose conduct entitles them to the lasting love and confil dance of their 'countrymen. It was he•wherled the. forlorn hope at the first battle of Winchester;-who subsequently drove Stonewall Jackson at the-point of the bayonet, and. who has,.-in fact, the re putation of being the only general who ever whipped the rebel Jackson in a pitched tight. It Is,. - however, more immediately in recognition. of Gen. Tyler's gallant conduct in leading the for lorn hope in the memorable charge on the lath of December, 1862, that these sons of the Old Keystone are. about to present this testimonial of respeot. The horse intended for the General-was purchased in .Ohio' and is a noble animal, having been pur chased by its previous owner at the price of one thousand dollars. The saddle and other requisite trappings, made by AT. It. Nece, of this city, are of a character to correspond with-the horse; being really superb specimens of- the saddlery art. The sword and spurs are of Messrs . George. W. Simone & Brother's celebrated manufacture+ the former being one of the richest ever got up• in , this city. The hilt of it represents a shell; the• guard is wrought in festoons of laurel;. the. upper tip bears the arms of Pennsylvania- and . Ohio, ern- - blematioally blended.to represent the- GeneraPsown, State . (his- home being Ravenna., Ohio,); and: the State of 'the splendid brigade which he commando, The lower tip bears in relief a representation of the. General on horseback in a charge. The cminnet is a vine of laurel ; the blade is richly engraved ;. the I scabbard and allthe mountings being heavily plated; with gold—The weapon is suitably , inscribed, and • with the other articles designated, will be presented in camp, at Falmouth, on the-22d. . . We are glad that those-having this matter in charge had the sagacity to give their orders to Philadelphia: and the man ner in which they haVe been executed certainly re flects much credit 'upon the donors, the manufactu rers, and the committee. ornipter. , THE YIYUIsTG YEN'S HOSIE.—From the . fifth annual report of the managers of the-Young Men's Home we learn that, among the 221 boarders received during the past year; there have been no deaths, • and. but two cases , of temporary illness. , Thirty-one of the boarders have entered the naval •and military ,service of their country, making the total number enlisted from the Home ninetY.one. Four of those who have entered the navy during the past year were encouraged to employ their leisure in the study of practical engineering, and' with commendable zeal so qualified themselves as to pass a satisfactory examination. They are now third assistant engineers, in receipt of salaries of $750. The cases of three of these merit special notice. One, a Massachusetts youth, came to the Home as a vendor of maps. Another, from Connecticut; ped dled soaps, & c. The third, having been left daft -' tute by the sudden death of his father; who came to this city from Charleston, South Carolineyon the breaking out of the rebellion, sought the protection of our . Home. • After various Ineffectual attempts to obtain a livelihood, he entered the service of the Go vernment as an ambulance driver, and was in seve ral battles. Discharged at his own requeirt, he re. turned to the Home, and, encouraged by the success of those who had passed the Naval Board, he deter mined to qualify himself for the .same honorable po sition. lie passed an excellent examination, and has just received an appointment from the Secretary of the Navy. In view of the heavy Indebtedness of the society incurred in.furnishing , the bouae, kn., the managers reluctantly decided in October last that it would be necessary to close the Home; but have since deter mined to continue it, in the hope that an institution so much needed would no longer be suffered to lan guish: Thiele the only institution of the kind in the city, so noted for its many monuments of philan thropy. The managers feel that the Home is no longer an experiment; and it} is confidently believed that, were funds furnished for the proper fitting up of a suitable establishment, with increased means of instruction and amusement, a su ffi cient number of boarders could be bad to make it self-sustaining.. . . . • Scezterty OF NICXELS.—At present there appears to be a great scarcity of cents In this city. Storekeepers, owing to this state of things; have not unfrequently been obliged either to refuse: to sell their commodities or to make a sacrifice of from one to four cents on each transaction. Yet there seems to be no good' reaeon why every money drawer in the various stores should not be supplied with an abundance of nickels. There must be a superabund ance of these small coin in our midst, and the dill. culty of obtaining them at their proper par value will probably prove a mere temporary alfair. Of course, as soon as this cry of scarcity of cents was raised, the brokers took the matter in hand for the purpose' of making as much money as possible out of the crisis. They have accordingly given their attention to the matter and placed a premium of , sixteen • per cent. upon the much-wanted little coin. Shopkeepers - and. retail 'merchants would rather lose something on every Bale they make than pay this ' high price for cents, and the; broken', re fusing to sell them except at a premium, keep them to themselves. and consequently out of .eirculation. During last month the Mint issued 4,800,000 pieces. equal to $48,000. This is about the average monthly :issue of this coin. It seems, therefore, inasmuch as nickel is never sent out of the'country, and is only intended for domestic use and circulation, that there should be no scarcity of it in the market. • THE. CASE .OF TEE " PRINCESS ROYAL" —The prize -steamer Princess Royal, captured while attempting to run the Charleston blockade, has been appraised at $112,000—58,000 less than the ap praised value of the steamer Bermuda. : 'The Go vernment was willing to take the Princess Royal at the sum Darned, but there being a, legal obstacle in the ivay, Judge Cadwalader, has ordered a sale, which will take place an soon 'as the necessary publi. cation can be made. Should the vessel he bought by the Government, ahe will be at once fitted up as a gunboat. . A NEW . LrrErteßY SOCIETY has recently been organized, which, from present indicaticins, bids fair to meet with decided success. The'members are mainly composed of law-students and young gentlemen engaged in other literary pursuits, and have adopted the title of the Everett Literary So ciety. The exercises of each meeting consist of essays, declamation% referring and Answering of literary and, scientific queries, and Aebate. Henry Pollock, Esq., has been elected president of the so elety,.which meets at the hail, southeast corner of Ninth and Spring Garden. FUNERAL ..OF.-A • SOLDIER.—Kr. Henry C.

Presently three men were ar raigned .before Alderman Beitler, having been ar rested under suspicious circumstances. On being asked their names, they replied George Moore, Jas. Wilson, and George Anderson. These are fictitious names. The examination was conducted by Win. 13. Mann, Esq., the District Attorney.

At this stage of the proceedings, District Attorney Mann ignited a piece of the fuse, in the gaslight; it wentoffwith a fizz. Mr. Frick, a reporter, liked to have turned a backward somersault over the rail ing. Aid. Beitler was momentarily frightened from his propriety. "All," asp Mr. Mann, "this is not like the firewoiks we used to have when boya." The prisoners laughed, (Moore excepted). " Well, Mr. Smith," said Mr. Mann, "these are burglar's tools." Mr. Smith replied, "They are, sir." " The men are not engineers, are they?" asked the District Attorney. Mr. Smith, who is something of a wag, and can crack a joke at almost anytime, even at the expense of a eracksman, replied : " No, sir; but they are pretty good at engineering themselves into stores and lire-proofs." Thomas 'Maguire sworn.—l am privite watchman on Market street, from Third to Fourth; I saw one of these men on Market street last week; did not see him do anything particular. The evidence here closed, and the parties. were committed in default of $2,000 bail each to answer. We may stateth conclusion, that Geo. Moore alias Dick Greenwood, was in the robbery of the silk store of Mr. Curtis, Chestnut street, above Second, a few years ago., If the information had been given to the detective police sooner than it was, much bet ter results would have been attained. The whole four would 'have been arrested, and, other develop.. mentsProbably would have been made known that would have been beneficial to the community. There is no doubt, however, that a heavy robbery was pre vented; but it would have been much better to have "played off" on the suspected individuals a little while - longer. There was property to the amount of over one hundred thousand dollars in the safes the thieves intended to "pull" open. Committed. Charles A. Scott,' arrested some time since on the charge of the larceny. of gum shoes, gam blankets, coats, &c., was yesterday afternoon committed by Alderman Beitler to answer at court. (13eforeltir..Alderman Welding.] Ibisorderry House. John A.

The 'warrant was issued Ms. the oath of Eliza Wis ham, an "apple aged 14 years. The official document Was placed , in the hands of Officers Adams and Tate, who proceeded to the house com plained of. Mrs. Lutts, Fredericka Lutts, Bernard Clerland, every old marl, Mary !Coleman, and Caro line Lancaster, were taken into custody. The last two said they had just come from Baltimore. The evidence is too objection able for publiCation in these columns. The alleged proprietor was required to find bail in • the sum of $BOO to answer at court. The main witness wee one of the little _girls ar rested a few days- since, and sent to the House of Refuge. Alleged. Larceny. A man, giving the name of Benjamin F. Henry, from Blair county, was arrested by Reserve Officer Wm. Kerr,. and' arraigned before Mr. Alderman Welding on the charge of the larceny of the sum of two hundred dollars, the property of his nephew, who is in the army. About half the money was in gold. It seems that the money was placed in the Hollidaysburg Bank for safe keeping. It is alleged the accused drew it from the bank, and came .to Philadelphia with it. Upon arriving in this. city, Mr. Henry put up at the Allegheny House, but .left that place on the 6th inst., since which he baelteea living at a private house. A warrant was ,Isaued by Justice G. JW. Bowers, of Hollidaysburg. This , document was brought to Philadelphia by a brother of the accused. It was placed into the hands of Officer Kerr, and yesterday morning, as Mr. Henry called st the 'Allegheny House to ascertain if any letters were there for him, he was taken into custody. It seems that the money . had been specially deposited at the . Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank. The accused restored it to his brother.

This was a motion for a special injunction to re strain the defendant Barry from acting under an assignment made by John Herr, in the State of illarylandrof alibis estate and efibcts for the benefit of the other defendants, who were his creditors, and prayirig that it and a certain other assignment, executed In this. State by the said Herr to Eli Lewis, be declared to enure to the benefit of all the creditors of the said Herr. The complainants are creditors of the said Herr. The opinion of the courtwas delivered yesterday morning by Chief Jus tice Lowrie, as follows : The Cecil Bank and the Citizens' Bank of Balti more irs. Llewellyn F. Barry, John Herr, and others: Opinion by Lowrie, C. J. .I cannot grant the relief sought for in this bill. How far the assignment of Herr to Barry is valid I need not de oide, and do not. • But. the . assigned estate is now under the custody and management of the Superior Court of Baltimore ;.the assignee has settled partial accounts of it there according to law, and part of the proceeds of it have been distributed by that court. These plaintiffit have instituted suits there to avoid the assignment or the preferences which it provides for, and may at any time present their claims, and assert their lawful rights, against the estate in the custody of the court. That court has already acquired full jurisdiction over the assignee, and the estate assigned to him, and all claims that may come against it, and no other court can properly interfere. If the assignee had acquired the estate of Herr by trespass or fraud, the case would hate been different. Jurisdiction over the estate gives jurisdiction over all claims upon it. The plaintills must accept the remedies whichlheir own court ear& them, and we have no doubt they will be adequate. Bill dismissed' at the poste of the plaintillif.
