THE CITY. THE EASTERN PENITENTIARY. —The annual report of the warden of the Eastern Peni tentiary, Just issued, shows that during the past year the number of convicts received into the kali: tution was 135—a great falling off frb'm previous years. The receipts of prisoners for. the six years Immediately preceding were as follows : RIK Itt; 1867, 3377; 1868, 207; 1869, 205 ; 1860, 259 ; 1861, 182. • The Warden says : "This diminution is no doubt principally owing to the ready opportunity for en immediate means of living offered, by service in the army, to the unfortunate men who compose a Moon population, most of whom belong to that class of persons who have no settled 'nor stated means of earning a livelihood. Re further says, in this connection: "How long our present diminished numbers may continue it is difficult to determine, as the large number of men returning to their homes, rendered unable, by reason of wounds arid broken health, from ever again en gaging In active pursuits of life, will no doubt strongly tend to swell our criminal population in the future. Many of these men, left, to a great extent, without resources, or, &tine, but partially supplied, Will be thrown, by circumstances, amidst evil asso ciations, and thus become a prey to the more artful and designing." Of the 185 prisoners received during the year, 198 were white males, 8 white females, 20 colored melee, and one colored female. ' Of those discharged by ex piration of sentence, 159 were white males, 6 white females, and 28 colored melee. fly pardon, 16 white and 2 colored melee. Of the 16 white males, 1 wee pardoned by the President of the United States, and the remainderby the Executive of Pennsylvania. The number of deaths during the year has been 6, namely, 4 white and 2 colored males, which, in an aggregate population of 696, gives a mortality of 1.02 per cent. of the 369 who remained in confinement at the end of the year, 202 were natives of the United States, and 107 of foreign birth, of whom 3 are co lored. Of those claiming to be natives of the United States 51 are colored. The 30 persons who formed the population of the Penitentiary at the close of the year 1862 were con 'feted and confined for the following offences : ' Murder in second degree 88 Manalaughter Assault and battery, intent to kill ' 4 Burglary 46 Arson 26 Rape Assault and battery with intent to commit rape Forgery Counterfeiting Passing counterie.it money Selling counterfeit money Tittering forged papers to defraud the ll:States Ilaving in possession counterfeit money Robbery Horse stealing Riot and assault and battery Malicious mischief Stealing out of poet office Received stolen goods • - False pretences Entering home with intent to eteal...t. Bigamy Larceny 114 Safe keeping 1 Of the 66 prisoners under conviction for the crimes of murder and in anal aughte r,27 are natives of the Uni ted States, of whom .6 are colored; and 29 are of foreign birth. Of the 46 for burglary, 35 are natives of the United States; of therie '7 are colored and 11 are of foreign birth. Of the 26 wafted for arson, 20 are natives of the United States, of whom 1 is colored; and 6 are natives of other countries. Of the 25 for the crime of rape, 20 are natives of the United States—namely, 14 whites and 6 colored; and 6 are foreigners. The cost per day for every expense, exclusive of aalaries, has been 17.83 cents; with the addition of the last-named item, chargeable to the outlay for the year, 20 cents, the same as for the former year, While the price of almost every commodity has been materially enhanced. The business of cotton weaving, whielifor many years formed the principal source of employment at the prison, has ceased entirely, not a single loom being in operation.. Shoemaking is now the princi pal and most remunerating employment followed Within the walls. During the year numerous Improvements have been made in the buildings and in the economy of the establishment, and Its present condition is deemed very satisfactory to all concerned, with the exception, perhaps, of those who are the principal otdects of the care of the institution. SCARCITY OF CRETS.—TIIO scarcity Of cents is felt by every storekeeper and business man, notwithstanding that about $2,500 worth are coined daily at the Mint. Gold and silver have, for a king time past, been living in retirement, as if they had become nabobish in their tastes, or recluses, and baying conceived a disgust for the world and its ways, determined to devote a long " spell " of their existence to a dignified exclusion from the haunts of the public. It is but natural that we should antes them, and yet their absence would not be a' Matter of perhaps serious concern if the pennies had not caught the distemper, and gone and done like wise. Of course, we have our postal currency left us, but that is, at beet, a poor consolation when we take into consideration the real value of our de parted cents—common cerde--without which not even the smallest and most insignificant business transaction can be carried on without perplexing embarrassment to all concerned. A high premium Is even demanded ]or these very needful little coins;. and the consequence has been that the prices do mended for email articles of trade have very sud denly taken a rise. A purchaser steps into a store, hands a fire•cent postage note in payment for a three•cent article, and receives as change :a small piece of pasteboard or paper, marked good for two cents ; or, in other words, he receives a due•bill for the amount of change coming to him. This sort of currency is easily lost ~and mutilated; besides, one may never have occasion to again enter the establish ment from which It was obtained. Thus a purchaser is pecuniarily damaged. As gold 113 on its way downward, however, cents, no doubt, will follow suit, and soon be as plenty as ever. Those who were hoarding them up with the idea that they could realize handsomeprofits will most certainly be mis taken. . FIRE ON SAVURDAY MORNING.—About 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire broke out in a large four-storied brick building belonging to the Gicker estate, and located at the southeast corner of Poplar .and Rachel streets, above Front. The first Boor was occupied by Thomas H. Gill, liquor dealer, as a storage room. The second and third stories were occupied by 0. L. A. Reiffsnyder, manufacturer of lounges, chairs, and other furniture. The fourth floor was occupied by Francis Legram, manufacturer of bedsteads and sofas. The fire broke out la the third story and burned through to the second story but without doing much damage below. An impres [don got abroad that The walls were not strong, and the firemen hesitated about using their ladders for this reason. The roof being covered with metal, made the fire difficult to get at from the ground, and it consequently burned 'stubbornly for three hours, destroTing the building and its contents above the third floor. The damage to the building was about $5OO, which is insured in the Fire Association. Reithinyder's lose is estimated at $6OO, upon which there is an insurance of $4OO in the Royal Insurance Company. Mr. Legram loses $3OO, and has no insurance. The tools of the workmen, which were destroyed, were valued at $2OO, and were not insured. Mr. Gill's stock of liquors Ad wines, valued at $4,000, suffered only by water. There is a policy of $4OO upon the Mock in the Girard Insurance Company which will he sufficient to cover the loss. The total loss sums up about $2,000. A stable and cooper shop, adjoin ing; were somewhat damaged by water. The horses in the former were all taken out. NEW JERSEY CENTRAL RAILROAD.—This company are pushing the second track, from Easton to Hampton, as rapidly as possible, replacing the Wooden bridges with substantial stone structures, and filling up at the Long Bridge, which is nearly completed. They have also commenced the exten sion of their road from Elizabeth across Newark Bay - _to Bergen Point, and also to Jersey City, a dis tance of ten miles from Bergen Point. The company Las also secured the necessary land and water right for wharves, &0., for the accommodation of any amount of business that may offer. The company own thirty-eight engines, of which twenty-two burn wood and sixteen coal, twenty pas senger care, and in addition to the rolling stock for miscellaneous freight, two hundred eight-wheeled coal cars, which have principally been built during the past year. The managers also propose to increase the capital from $3,620,000 to $6,000,000, to complete the double track, extend the road to Jersey City, provide exten sive. docks and facilities for business, and to add largely to the present equipment of engines, coal cars, &c., to accommodate the increased trade that will be thrown on the road from the Lehigh region, and also from the Schuylkill on the completion of the Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh• River Railroad. NAVWATION.— The water has been let into the Schuylkill canal, and the whole line Will be ready for transportation to-day. Several boats have already arrived from below. Thu tolls on the canal have been fixed at seventy-three centa per ton from Port Carbon to Philadelphia, and seventy cents from Schuylkill Raven. The Delaware and Raritan canal will, we learn, be ready for navigation about the Ilth Inst. Water was let into the Lehigh canal last week, and everything will be ready for the commencement of boating thin week. The canal le note In excellent condition, much better than it was before the great freshet. During the past winter the works have been greatly strengthened, and no damage need be anticipated of another flood like that of last June. This Is several weeks earlier than the canal has usu ally been opened. STAMPS ON PROMISSORY NoTns.—As the season for sales of personal property is approaching, when large numbers of promissory notes are exe cuted, it may be interesting to the public to know the scale of stamp duties which the law imposes upon such notes. It is as follows From $2O to $lOO 100 to 200 " 200 to 350 41 360. to 600 " 600 to 76(1 ." 750 to 1,000 40 " 1,000 to 1,500 '6O " 1,600 to 2,500 100 " 2,500 to 5,000 .1 50 The penalty for. violating the law is $5O, and the 'instrument is rendered invalid. TIIE RECENT DEMOCRATIC SERENADE.— We learn from police authority that the pick pockets had a good time of among the crowd which assembled in front of the Girard House, on Friday night, to listen to the speech of Vallen digham. There was a good deal of pushing and hauling, and the light-fingered gentry took ad vantage of this circumstance, and also of the fact that the police had their hands full in endeavoting to maintain the peace, to ply their trade. About a dozen pocket-books changed hands, and the dams lost ranged from twenty-five dollars to one hundred and seventy-4re dollars each. EXAMINATION OP TEACNEIts.—An ; ainination of applicants to tin vtiofincies in the Grammar, Secondary, and Primary schools of the Seventeenth section, will bodteld in the Harrison Grammar School, Master street, above Second, on Friday, the 20th inst. ZANB-BTBEET GRAMMAR SCHOOL. —The annual commencements of this school are always of the most entertaining character, and one of the most pleasant which we have yet attended 000urred on Friday afternoon, the report of which was unavoida bly crowded out of Saturday's Press. The attendance on the occasion was very large, embracing many of the parents and friends of the pupils. The room it self was elegantly decorated with a profusion of American liege, which draped across the platform, and upon the walls. Patriotic mottoes, such as "Union now and forever," and similar sentiments, were conspicuously arranged about the room. The platform was occupied by the school directors of ,the 9th section, and invited guests. A . sweet-toned piano was gracefully presided over by Miss Hattie Meyers. W. Gray Stint!, .Eaq., President of the Board of Directors, conducted the exercises of the occasion. The graduating pupils, recently promoted to the Girls' high School, participated in the exer cises, which included declamations, addresses, and songs, all of which were executed with taste and precision. Diplomas were awarded to the following young ladies : Feb. Roberts, .tennie McCauley, Mmeie Bower, .Addie Bowe r Em ma Martin, Lizzie White, Susie Simons j Ida Nichols, Annie B. Davis, Mary Dicker son, Maggie Harrold, Annie Sutherland, Eliza _Ridgway, Sallie Clayton, Fannie Trimble, Emma Earley,. and Rachel Ilndress. Mr. blind, in presenting the testimonials, said YODEO LADIES OP TOE GitADQATINO• OLASS : By appointment of the Board of Directors, the plea sing duty of presenting to you your diplomas has been assigned to me. It is an honor I feel proud of, but wish it would have fallen upon some one more Worthy. As I look around me to-day I see many among you whose course we have watched, ever since you first entered the Primary School, and so on step by step until you entered the Grammar School, and to-day we have the great gratification of seeing your labors and cur ene crowned with MOM. Did I say our efforts ? Pardon me, teach ers; it is to you to whom all praise is due, for it is through your exertions and faithfulness that 'Lane. street Girls' Grammar School stands to-day second to none In the city, and so it will continue to be as long as the hearts of the scholars are entwined in such a Webb as they are now. This diploma. ladies, is presented to you as a proof of our approbation for the proficiency you have made in your studies and your correct deportment; and I hope, in after years, when your eyes rest upon it, it will be with as much pleasure as we have to-day In presenting it to you. In leaving us, ladies, allow me to say on behalf of the directors and teachers, that you will carry with you our best wishes for your happiness in 111 e, and that, when you graduate from the High School, it may be with as high honors as you have obtained in this. In the evening, the pupils participated in a colla tion and musical entertainment, and the occasion passed off' very pleasantly. CAPTAIN KIDD'S HIDDEN TREASURE.-- A few days since considerable entitlement was cre ated in Cape May county, caused by a report that a certain lucky individual had been fortunate enough to discover one hundred thousand dollars buried in the five-mile beach and supposed to be a portion of the treasure which the notorious Captain Kidd is thought by some folks to have secreted trway. The tides, kinds, or rains, or all of them combined, it was sari, had so removed the sand from oft' the box as to lead to the discovery. The person who found the prize, says report, took from the box as much of the gold as he could carry, filling his pockets, boots, and the legs of his pants, with the precious metal. lie then returned home, procured the assistance of ten men to help raise the box out of its bed. These men, we understand, received ten dollars per head for their services. Rumor just stated that it was American coin, and subsequently that it was all of foreign mintage, and that it had been so long buried in the earth that it had become black ened, so that the surface of the coin bore no reaem- Vance to gold whatever. In consequence of this blackness the finder had offered to sell the whole•lot at a discount of twenty-flve per cent.—a very rea sonable story indeed, when gold at that time was at a premium of seventy-two per cent. This was the story as circulated, and idle people began to scratch their heads and think if there might not possibly be a few more chests still buried along the beach. All kinds of propositions were made relative to a further search, and we have no doubt but that the spade would have soon been put to use, had it not turned out that the whole story , was a fabrication. It seems that the individual, instead of finding a cheat of gold, found a trunk which had been washed ashore from a wreck, and which, among other things, contained some ten or twelve pieces of some nearly worthless metal, somewhat resembling ten dollar coin, the whole probably not worth half a dime, which the finder had Shown to his neighbors, and from whom the whole story originated; 3 .... . 6 6 TIM NEWT STEAMER OF TILE FRANKLIN ENCIINR COMPANY.—The new hand ;team fire-en gine, built for the Franklin Engine Company, is completed, and win be housed to-day. The ap paratus was constructed by Messrs. G. J. & 7. L. Chapman, machinists, of this city, and is a neat affair. The engine ranks as thirdclass, and re sembles :much in general appearance the one built by the same firm for the Assistance Fire Company. The pumps are placed in a horizontal position, and are 8-inch bore with a 12-inch stroke. The steam cylinder is 9M-inch bore and '9-inch stroke. The wheels are, of polished hickory, and the boiler neatly cased with brass. On the top of the air chamber is a silver signal lamp. On each aide is a fancy silver plate, bearing the inscription, "Frank lin, No. 12." The flue boiler is capable of raising sufficient steam for service in eight minutes. The whole apparatus, with wood, water, &c., weighs about 4,000 pounds, the weight of an ordinary hand engine. She is capable of playing two streams at once, and, as she can be moved with greater case on account of her light weight than the steam-engines drawn with horses, we are safe in saying that an ap paratus of this kind could perform more service at a fire. At a recent trial by her builders she drew her own water, and forced it through an inch and an eighth nozzle to the distance of two hundred and twenty feet, which is more [than sufficient for all ordinary purposes. The steam-engine built for the Assistance Fire Company, and the present one far the Franklin, are the only two in the city that are drawn by hand. Steamers of this kind can be drawn to a fire almost as rapidly ae those pulled with horses, the weight of the latter being so much greater. The same firm have also commenced the construction of steamers for the Globe and Humane Engine Companies.

Peter McGrane, chaplain general of the military hospitals of this city, has been presented by hie admirers with a handsome horse and carriage, in token of his valuable services in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers, especially those of the Catholic faith. Father McGrane's appointment as chaplain gives him a general ministration in the city wherever Catholic soldiers may need religious attendance. On the occasion of the testimonial presentation, Rev. Mr. McGrane delivered a very felicitous and . happy address in response to one tendering him the gift of his friends. In the course of his remarks be said : "Your timely present I accept with gratitude, not only for its intrinsic worth, but also, and far more, because it is the evidence of that Catholic affection which binds together priest and people. ." You now afford the means of more frequent 'spiritual visite to all the military hospitals in our city, and thereby manifest your religious patriotism. The Catholic heart beats ever In sympathy for our country's sick, wounded, and dying ; and every part of our extended city limits has its house for the snaring. "Your patriotism and your piety alike provides for the Catholic chaplain of these institutions, for the broken soldier, and the dying hero, the means of often administering the sacraments.. "I trust that your present 'zeal for religion, and love of country,. may over be preserved; that you will everywhere, and under every circumstance, stand firm for God and our own free land.' "Be bold and firm in the profession and practice of your holy faith.,) COAL FOR TIM; GAS WORKS.--MOdi in convenience his lately been experienced consequent upon thefallure to deliver the regular supplies of 'Coal for the manufactute of gas at the gas works. The failure is attributed by the contractors to the crowding of the railroads by the military operations of Government Several thousand tons of fo reign coal have been contracted for in New York to meet the deficiencies occasioned• by the contractors here. The board of trustees of the Philadelphia works are about making arrangements to procure a part of the supply of coals from abroad, until such time as completion of new lines of internal irn provemente shall enlarge the domestic field of supply of gas-making coals. By making proper arrange ments at an early season, it is probable that the re quisite supply can be obtained at much lower cost than was paid for the coals recently bought under the pressure of extreme necessity. The following statement shows the amount of coal and coke used at the Philadelphia Gas Works since 1868 , as compared with that used during the five • years previous: $ or , 1 io Tone Of coal bought, 289,687; Increase hi five years, 99,103, or 52 per cent.

An Important Arrest—Seizure of Contra band Goods—A Nest of Traitors in Phila delphia. From Information received, Benjamin Franklin, chief of the detective police, became satisfied that a considerable quantity of goods were at an express office, on Saturday evening, intended to be for warded to the land of Secession. The Chief had heard : of the doings of a number of Jews, in the upper part of the city, and for some time past has had an eye upon their movements, but he could not get things right to suit him, or rather to warrant hfm in seizing any goods or making any arrests. On Saturday evening, having had a well-devised plan effected, and feeling certain that he could not be far wrong, and That if he did err, it would be on the aide of his country, proceeded to an express office and found ten boxes, that he regarded with suspicion. He at once' took charge of them, and opened several. One of them contained 165 pounds of chloroform in small bottles, another 265 pounds of quinine and morphine, another 165 pounds of small sewing needles—enough to supply the whole Southern rebellionists for the space of six months. Another box contained several hundred dozens of tobacco baga, a fancy article in the shape of bladders —large quantities of women's and children's shoes and gaiters, broad-brimmed hats, and an endless variety of the best kind of surgical instruments— bullet forceps particularly, and a variety of just such articles as are needed in time of battle. The chief of police said he would take the responsibility and seize the goods, and there was no one about the express office who at all evinced anything like a desire to oppose him. While he was meditating what to do, a furniture car stopped at the express office and landed four more boxes, evidently being a part of the whole lot now in the safe keeping of toe Chief. The man having delivered the goods and received the receipt therefor, the Chief inlhad a talk with him, and handed - him a lighted c ar, from which the unsus pecting driver Ignited his. It is unnecessary to detail the conversation that ensued, but suffice it to say, the Chief finally ascertained where the goods came from. The driver finally went his way te• joicing. THE CHTEP TELEGRAPHS TO THE WAR DEPAILTIIRNT _ . . The discrivery made by the. Chief and the practical evidence of the combined work of contrabandists were considered of sufficient importance that the Chief at once telegraphed to the War Department, and soon received an answer. While waiting for this he obtained a warrant of arrest from Mayor Henry, and thus he was doubly armed with the best of authority. He proceeded at once to the night line that was to start from the Baltimore depot and made a pretty full examination there, and was, we believe, finally satisfied that no contraband goods had been sent by that train, at least by the parties he had under suspicion. WHERE THE GOODS WERE TO GO. Upon an inspection of the boxes, Sm., they were found directed to different parties at Beaford, Dela ware, and Bridgeville, about seven miles distant, on the Nanticoke river.. These , places are man in population, hut rank in Secession. They grow up all around there like poisonous weeds. Goods reaching here are within a few hours of "Secessia." It is from such places that smuggling is carried on to an almost unlimited extent. Of course, the 'par ties are all known now to the authorities, and there will be no little consternation among the traitors of both these and perhaps other places not far distant. TIER CHiET TBA.VELS MOOG Not far distant from Fourth and Race streets the Chief found a true Union man, who invited him into his parlor, where they enjoyed a friend ly chat. This was at an early hour yester day morning, when half the world were fast aeleep. There was evidently considerable stirring about the house on the opposite side of the way. The Chief enjoyed his olium cum,dirrgale, and watched the movements of certain parties going in and out of the fabric under his. surveillance. He photographed them upon his memory, and can re cognize them again. By nine o'clock several Jews and Jeweseeeentered and departed; and, finally, a man calling himself Morris Solomon,Who had rent ed the house several months since, arted away in company with a couple of other genies. The Chief pretty well disguised, so that even a couple .of frien who passed did not recognize him, started after the Mr. Solomon and his friends. They went into the building No. 468 North Third street, above Willow. They staid here a considerable length of time. ISAR.T.TIOLONEII7 AND LAMON. The Chief no w called into requisition the aid of Messrs. Bartholomew and Lemon of the Detective Department, and an arrangement was made to cap ture the whole nest of contrabandist; women and all. But, in this they did not auccmd, because of an unexpected;and consequently unforeseen event,which may be justly entitled an EXCITING FOOT RACE. • It seems that while the • Chief and Mr. Lemon were taking a leisure stroll, along Callowhill street to Fourth, .Mr. Bartholomew visited the house at number 4118 North Third street. He was somewhat disguised. The door-bell being answered, the wily detective asked if Mr. Solomon was in. On being replied to in the affirmative and bro ken English, such as the dialect of the shenies is inctured with, he asked to see him. Mr. Solomon came to the door. He was informed that a gentleman standing around the corner desired to see him on some important business. "Vat kind ova shentlemansli , asked Mr. S. 0 Well, a fine-looking business man ; he is very de• shone to see you." " Vell, sir, I moms mit you veal gib; mine hat." .111 r. Solomon obtained his hat, and started off with the detective to see the gentleman. They reached' the corner of. Crown and Vine streets, but the gentleman was nowhere to be seen. hir. Solomon said he would go no further;' Mr. Bartholomew then said : "I want you to go' with me down to the express office." Solomon turned all colors in a moment, and as quick as meditation on the fleet wings of thOught, he started off with great rapidity. r' Bartholomew ran after-him, and presently a large crowd joined in the pursuit, which augmented every moment. Such yelling of " stop thief," "catch him," "head him ott'," "kook him down,". caused more or less excitement. By' ome means or other the race did not take its course to the point ' where Solomon was to be introduced to the Chief, and the first thing, he and Lemon saw was a crowd rushing out old York road.. There could not have been less than from three to five thousand 'people. They came from all quarters.- But Solomon dis tanced them all. He dashed up one street and down another, through private alleys and over fences, and finally regained his house in Fourth street, that Chief Franklin had so carefully Watched in the morning. He and the two detectives went there, and the Chief entered at once without ceremony, and stationed the other officers in front and rear of the house, with orders to let no one go out. The Chief ascended the stairs ; he heard an unu sual noise over head, and, as he was about to enter a room, he was confrontedhy a woman, whose avoir dupois might strike the' beam at one hundred and eighty, who said : " You no (looms hero ; a voo man ; it lab my vroom ; you keeps out." The Chief, as gallantly as he could (he had learned something from experience), entered the room, and there, be tween a couple of feather beds, ho found the fugitive Mr. Solomon, panting yet for breath, and almost ex hausted from great physical exertion in running. The Chief said "Come, Mr. Solomon, wilt thou got" Dir. S. " wilted "at once, and, being intro duced to Mr. Bartholomew, was brought to the Cen tral Station about six o'clock last evening. The race, of course, apprised all the parties engaged in the contraband business of 'the atiliir, and they have, most likely, skedaddled. Further secrecy la, there ". fore, unnecessary. : • . , • • Chief Franklin has fourteen large.boxes of . goods; worth, perhaps, $lO,OOO. He says that he would like the claimants of-them to call at once and see him. The arrest is . one of the:most important that have been made in this city since the breaking out of the rebellion. TEM PRESS.—PHILAIDAPHIA, bariXDit *AMA 9. 1863. Ettefort United Stites Commis!.lover Hazlett. I Cruelty to Seanten. Captain Morse, Thomas; Payne, and John Cole man, first and second mates of the ship Northamp ton, were arraigned before Mr. Commissioner Hear lett, on Saturday evening, on the charge of cruelty to the seamen on board of aid vessel (lariat; the recent voyage from Liverpool. The ship arrived at this port on Friday night. The seamen, fourteen its number; are quartered in the debtors' apartment of the county prison as witnesses. The public heariol will sake place at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon: Thicrew is composed of white and black men. The treatment they received is represented to us sus having been exceedingly cruel. A Shoplifter who Depends on Running. A tall, young man, whose pedal extremities were unusually long, was arraigned before Mr. Alderm An Beitler paternay morning on the charge of stealing a watch and ring from the store of Mr. Haydock, on South street, near Fifth. Re had his name docketed as Charles Snyder. It seems (corn the evidence thAt he went to the store of Mr. Haydock about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and spent some time in examining watches and jewelry. Finally, he se lected a gold watch and chain valued at $45, and a finger ring worth $6. Ima moment, in the twinkling of an eye, he started oft with the articles, and was speedily out of sight. The lady in attendance ran to the door as quickly as possible, and gave the alarm. A °mord anon fol lowed, shouting "plop thief.”. The fugitive dashed up St. Mary street, where he met Officer (}amble, who, by the way, is a pretty swift runner. The race now became doubly interesting. The thief dashed up a• blind alley, and scaled a • fence.or two. The Officer did likewise, and finally secured the .out-of breath fndit idual , and -bore him in triumph to the Third-district station-house. Yesterday morning he was identified at the hearing by the proprietor of a store on Market street, near Thirteenth, as the same person who bad stolen three watches, and as many gold rings, from that place on Friday, in the same manner as that which he bad adopted at the store of Mr. Haplock. Ile was committed in default of $1,600 bail, to answer. • 0 . On Saturday a cab driver calling himself John McFarland was arraigned before Mr. Alderman Beitler on the charge of the larceny of $6, the pro perty of Mr; E. J. Rodgers, of Ourfton, 0484 county, state of Indiana. Iteeems, from the evidence ad duced, that Idr. Rodgers arrived at the 'depot, at Rleventh and Market streets, and was speedily beset by numerous cab drivers, all apparently anxious to get a job. Finally, he got into the cab of the de fendant and was driven to Walnut street wart', it being hid intention to take passage in a steamer that started from that' place. Upon arrival, he gave the driver a five. dollar note, but he could not change it. The driver stetted off in search of change, and after the lapse of fl ve or ten minutes returned: stating that be could get no change. Ilejumpeden his box, and, putling whip to his horses, started od' at a pretty fast speed, telling Mr. Rodgers to wait RD hour and he would return with the 'change. Re exclaimed my chaise is No. 36. The stranger, however, gave the alarm, and presently the driver was taken into custody by Reserve Offleer Keyser. His cab was not No. WI Under these circumstances; the accused was committed to answer at court. (Before fir. Alderman White.] Charged with the Larceny of Money. A .man giving the name of Brock Graham was held to bail in the sum of $l,OOO bit Saturday eve= ning, by Mr. Alderman White, to answer the charge of stealing the sum of $36 from the pocket of Annie Fitzmorris, at a public house on Delhi/Are ; avenue, above Dock street, on the evening of March the 3d. There were several hearings in the case. The bar tender, who appeared to be a reluctant witness, tea fitted that the defendant was at thee - home on the evening of the robbery. The accused made a re quest, almost in the shape of a demand, that the case should be returned to court. He avers that he,had business that required his attention at Fort Dela ware on the evening of the robbery up to four o'clock the next morning. Dail in the sum of $l,OOO was required ; this being entered, the accused left the office, satisfied that he would be able to establish his innocence before the court. A. man calling himself Amos Latnper was ar raigned before .Mr. Alderman 'White, on Saturday evening, on the charge of badly maltreating a sailor named Charles Wilson, on board a vessel, on a ra• cent passage from one of the West India Islands to the port of Philadelphia. The defendant is the mate of said vessel: The prosecutor was so badly used that his health has been bad ever since. It is quite probable that be VAR not fully recover from the effects for some time to come.. Two witnesses were examined; John -Baptiste and -John Prances. It seems that the mate struck the prosecutor over the head and.face with a knotted rope, which knocked him down on deck. The prostisted man was then kicked several times. The Alderman, in casually remarlchig on the brutality of beating a sailor that way, the mate replied that lie thought the law authorized him to beat a man as much as he might consider necessary to make him dd. duty, as he, the mate, understood it. lie was ordered to enter bail in the sum of sera to appear before the H. S. Com missioner this morning.. A Disorderly PArty. Tfetecca Height, Anne Johnson, Anne:Parker, Rachel Robinson, Elizabeth Thompson, John Wil liams, Augustus Johnson, Robt. riawsey, Harriet Johnson, John Gil/,' Jacob Parson, Harriet Millis, and Samuel Young, were arreated about three o'clock on Saturday morning, in a house near Third and Lombard streets. The parties were white and black, and very much dissipated. They were labor ing to a more or less extent under the malign influ ence of atrychnine.whisky, fighting and hallooing, thereby disturbing the neighborhood. The parties were arraigned before the aldermen at the Union !street station house. They were committed to. an ewer. A house of correction is very badly needed for such degraded specimens of humanity. Robbing st Sailor. James Allison, Francis Rose, and Rester 'Terris were arrested by Officer Ferguson early yesterday morning, in the vicinity of Seventh and St. Rlary streets, and arraigned before Mr. Alderman White, on the charge of robbing a sailor. lie had. at the urgent solicitation of one of the prisoners, visited a house, and while there it is alleged that all the money he had, about $2O, was st9leo from him.

TEE INDICTMENTS AGAMST TEE ELECTION oFPX CBES OF, THE TIVENTIt,FOtritTH 'WARD. APpLICA TIM TO BEHOVE THEM TO TUE 81TPREILE COURT FOR TRIAL. Commonwealth vs. William Foioe, Thames H. Fagan, James Torbert, and Thomas Lodge; This was an application for a special allowance of a writ of certiorari to remove to this Court a certain bill of indictment found in the Court of Quarter Sessions in this county, against the defendants, election offi cers officers of the Twenty 7 fourth ward, charging them with making out and eigaing a false and frau dulent certificate of election in favor of Isaac Lee?h, as member of Common Council from that ward. A. like application WAR also made to remove a bill of indictment found against the same defendants and Augustus W. Simpson, charging them with conspi racy for the same purpose. These 'applications were based on the alleged ground that the defendants would not secure a fair and impartial hearing before the Judge now holding the Court of Quarter Sessions, for the reason, Ist. That the Judge who now holds that Court is a citi zen of the Twenty-fourth ward, and therefore inter eited in the cause, and 241. Because he had already heard and acted on a case in the Court of Common Pleas, which grew out of the. same state" of facts as those on which these charges are made. The bills of indictment charge that these defend ants; who were a majority of the Return. Judges of the election in that ward, notwithstanding that it appeared by the returns before them that one John It. McCurdy was elected to the office of member of Common Council from the ward, conspired to issue and issued . a fraudulent certificate of election to Isaac Leech. District Attorney William‘ ..13! Mani earnestly op posed the applications, and in the course of his argu ment stated that, of the thirty-one cases that have been removed to the court since 1845, there bad been but one conviction and very few trials.
