A " PEOPLE'S MEETING."— FOT some
time past gatherings. known as "People's Meet
ings," have been convened at a hall in North Sixth
street. These. meetings, always held on Sundays;
are open to all who wish to attend, and somewhat
reiemble in character a debating society. Any one
who wishes can - speak and utter such sentiments as
are most agreeable to him. The consequence is that
many of those in attendance -are true representa
tives of the Secessionist and spare no opportunity to
assail the Government in the most malignant man
. ner. The meeting does not partake in the least of
a religious character, the subject of discussion al
ways being some topic relative to the state of the
country. From one who attended on Sunday last
we learn that the number attending was in the
vicinity of one hundred. The assemblage was
as promiscuous as its very limited limits would
permit. Every bench was lined with `a sufficient
and enough row of characteristic character.
The picturesqueness of- the scene was amusing
in its peculiar variety. There were individuals, in
aspect completely rickety and wavering, who ap
peared to have hung their personality, like a
bare•thread cloak, upon the loose hook of
life. They seemed to have calculated the chances
. . .
of this, world on shots which never hit, and
haps which never happen. In accordance with the
somewhat vulgar aphorism that the best goods are
in the smallest parcels, the ladies, upon this oc
casion, bore a small proportion to' the other sex.
At the commencement of the exercises, the president
took particular pains to vindicate the ways of law
with men, and to unmistakably explain; in mis
takable rhetoric, that any one creating disorder
would be forthwith compelled to give his name, and,
likewise, forthwith be reported to the Mayor.. The
accentual impediment of the speaker prevented a
phonetically true interpretation of his warning.
The character of the meetings held at this place
is variously described by those who attend either
regularly or at intervals. One says that it is Se
cessionist throughout, and another is willing to
avow that the ice of treason is sometimes melted
in the thaw of Unionism. It is a relief to know
that the sentiments of treason breathed there on
Sunday afternoon were not- altogether unamalgss
nutted. The debate, as may very naturally
be expected, • was warm, . and even turbulent
at times. A smooth, double-chinned,;, sleek
haired, unctuous individual—a sort of Chad
band politician—holding
,a conspicuous. position on
the dais, eructated rebellion in spasmodic incohe
rendes. He had his handl almost perpetually in his
pockets, and Appeared
. to possess a most touching
affection, if not; for the corporation, at least for his
corporocity. His only object seemed to be to defeat
the object of the meeting, which professed to be
open, above-board, and courteous in inten
tion. The question for discussion .was the
military .and political condition of the country.
Few of the speakers stuck to their subject. Some
Tan away fromit altogether. One' an, with rubi-
cund visage and high-twanged voice, said that if he
had his way, he. would nominate S. T. Smith for the
next President, and Jeff Davis for Vice President!
In this way union between North and South would,
be brought together. The unctuous individual said
si amen P , The rubicund man was received with
a round of 'hisses and applause. After this
a lady stepped upon the platform. Four or five
others were present. This one may not be inaptly
considered the exponent of the power of the sex she
represented. After such a demonstration, she said,
in applause of a traitor, the Union-loving men might
he excused for expressing in denionStrative manner
their approbation of such principles of their own as
might be expressed. The Unctuous said: "Madam,
me we not all Union-loving men?" "No," replied
the lady, "and you're one that aint
The Unctuous smiled. .
Othefspeakers came upon the floor.' The Unctu
ous spread the bread of their sentences With the
butter of his parenthesis. His exclamations name
between theirs like cold ham in a sandwich, or jelly
In a cake. One of the speakers, who had been in
terlocuted as to whether he had not " come from
Jersey," and who had replied, "No, I came from
my mother," - asked (for information) whether the
interrupter was not under the influence of liquor?
The Unctuous smiled again, and probably said
amen" to himself.,
Some of the allusions made by the speakers were
absurd and indecent. Vituperation took the place
of logic, and spite usurped the office of conviction.
The name of John P. Hale seemed to be introduced
for the purpose of the speaker's. remarking that
that gentleman couldn't speak six consecutive
words whose connection was, grammatical, and that
Abraham Lincoln was just as bad. The affair
throughout was full of "saddening truth,” furnish
ing at once, a sorrowful and amusing episode.
THE NORTHERN HOME FOR FRIENDLESS
10HILDREM—The public institutions of this city are
unquestionably the best and most economically con
ducted of any similar establishments inthis country--
we may, perhaps, Say, in the world. The perfect
neatness and cleanliness everywhere apparent; the
,studiouE regaid for the comfort of the inmates, and
the judicious husbanding of the resources for their
support, are suggestive of fidelity and zeal in their
administration, and do credit to those who manage
their affairs..
One of the most useful of these is the Northern
Home for Friendless Children, which cares for the
destitute and -friendless little ones - of the Common
wealth - by providing a cornfortable abode for those
Who are received by commitment or release, until
euitable places can be secured for them in the country
as farmera, dairy-maids, &c., when the girls are
bound until eighteen years of age; and the boys till
twenty-one, the masters being obliged to furnish
them a quarter's schooling annually, and when of
age, a certain sum of money and a certain outfit of
clothing. The judges of every county court in the
State have the right to commit to the Northern
Home, just as they do to the House of Refuge. For
nearly ten years has this valuable institution been
in active operation under the auspices of some'of our
Very best citizens. It now contains (210) two hun
dred and ten inmates, the largest number that has
ever been within its walls, although nearly that num
ber have been indentured during the preceding:' year
alOne. Many of these are the children of soldiers,
drawn together.to this receptacle of innocent sufferers
from different counties in the State. Every ward is
crowded to its utmost capacity at this time, and so
great is the demand for admission, that we noticed
bedstead; placed in one of the halls to accommodate
the greatest number possible. The erection of an
infirmary is in contemplation, we learn, provided
that sufficient means can be raised for the purpose..
it has been long needed., We hope that the enter
prising friends of the Home will be able to raise the
required amount.

How a Soldier was Robbed.
Two young men; giving the names of John Bark
iey.and William Fitzgerald, were arraigned before
311. r. Alderman Beitler, yesterday morning,. on the
charge of robbing a soldier named Zina Z. Dowd,
of the 3d'"Wisconsin Regiment. It is alleged the ire-'
fendants purloined twenty-five dollars and a Watch
valued at the same amount. It seems; from the evi
tlenee, that the soldier is an inmate"of the military
hospital situate on Turner's Lane. Having obtained
lt.pass on Monday to take a stroll about the city, he
finally lost his way. At night he was met by a cou
ple of young men who kindly volunteered to mom-
Imny him to the hospital. Upon reaching a some
what retired spot in the northwestern part of the
city, he was suddenly knocked down by them' and
robbed as above stated. Information, was lodged
With the pollee, and on Tuesday night the above
xnentioned defendants were taken into custody at
Eleventh and Market streets. The soldier fully
identified them, at the hearing yesterday, as the in
dividuals who had robbed him. The defendants were
'committed to, abswer at court.
During Shop-lifter.
Samuel Johnson was arraigned yesterday on the
charge of stealing a shirt from the store of Mr. Oak
lord, Chestnut street, near Ninth. It seems that he
Jiad entered the store under pretence of making`a
purchase. While the attendant had turned his back
o get some goods to show the prisoner, the latter
Be
up the shirt and secreted it about his person.
Be had nothing to say in explanation of his conduct.
Be was conimitted.: .
Larceny.
Robert Thomas, a colored man, was arraigned on
the charge of the larceny of some clothing, the pro
perty of a Mr. Gilbert, residing at No. 1224 Canby
street. The 'prisoner, it appears, lived in thesame
with,Mr. Gilbert, and thus obtained facilities
10. , conimit the larceny. Among the articles taken
was a complete wedding suit belonging to young Mr.
Gilbert.`The accused was committed to prison to
Await his trial.
Another Larceny:
Henry -Morton, was arraigned on the charge of
(stealing clothing and other things valued, in all, at
eleven dollars, -the property of George Wonderly. It
seems that both these persons - boarded in the same
house.' Some of the goods were found upon the per
eon of the accused; other articles were recovered at
a pawn shop. The accused, on being asked if he had
any explanation to make, burst lout crying and said
he took the things to raise some money to pay his
board bill. He was coMmitted.in default of WO to
answer at,court,
A Scene nt.the-C 'attiat.Station:
Yesterday afternoon a big, goodnatured looking
fellow, giving the name of Simpson, was arraigned
for drunkenness.'
"I found this man, , ? aaid the officer, "very drunk,
at the corner of Seventh and Sangom streets."
.
"That's so," replied the prhioner, "I was drunk."
"Drunk, eh?" said the Aldernian.
"Yes, sir ;' 'pon my honor, alderman; you ought
to have sonic compassion on me ; it's only because I
drink liquor that I get drunk. Now, pon my honor,
Beitler, I know you; can't you have a little
compassionl Now, alderman, don't be hard on met
for, 'pon my honor, when I'm away from liquor I
never touch it."
"Don't `suppose you do, when you - can't get it,"
repliede the , alderman, as he recorded fine $3.50.
The prisoner was about to give a dissertation on
the subject of, lighting the public lamps, when the
officer gave him a slight nudge, and told him to come
along. , •
He muttered something about hard luck as he
passed to the lock-up below stairs.
[Before 11fr. Alderman Dougherty.]
A. Man Badly, Beaten.
Edward Leonard was arraigned before Alderman
Dougherty yesterday on the charge of violently
beating a man named Jacob Brolander. The pri
soner was taken into custody by Officer Kaylor, on
Arch-street wharf, on Tuesday evening. He testified
the defendant was drunk, and had kicked Ilir. Bro
lander in the face and head, thereby inflicting such
injuries as to jeopardize his, life. The injured man
was so badly hurt that it was impossible for him to
appear at the !fearing. The defendant was coin
mitted to prison, bail being refused.

The following important decision of the court, in
the case.of the Bank of Commerce vs. Edwin Forrest,
Was rendered on Monday last, but we have hitherto
been unable to present it to our readers. It will be
observed that the question raised is, what are "re
newals" of promissory notes? The opinion is as
follows:
APPEAL OP THE BANE OP OONMEBOE.
Eastern District. From the decree of the District
Court of the city and county of Philadelphia, and
writ of error to judgment on feigned issue in Bank of
Commerce vs. E. Forrest.
READ; ;T.' The mortgage, which forms the founda
tion of the Appellant's claim, was dated March 9,
1855, and recorded on 'the 12th of the same month,
and was for four thousand dollars, payable one year
from date,. and executed by William. H. Maurice to
A. E. Bone, and was accompanied by a bond and
. warrant, upon which judgment was entered on the
30th July, 1860. These paper& did not represent the
real transaction; for, it appears that Mr. Borie, who
was the president of bank, took it for the benefit
and protection of that institution, under "a special
contract with Mr: Maurice, all the terms of which
are stated ins deed poll executed by Mr. Borie, and
bearing even date with the mortgage. This deed or
paper recites, " Whereas, William H. Maurice '
of
the. said city, stationer, bath this day executed to
me his bond and:mortgage conditioned for the pay
ment of the sum of 'four thousand dollars, in one
year from the date thereof, now know ye that I, the
said A. E. Boric, do by these presents confess, ac
knowledge, and declare that the said bond and mort-'
gage were executed by the said William Hr Maurice,
only as a collateral security for the payment of notes dis
counted, or hereafter to be discounted, for the use of the
said William H. Maurice, and to and for no other use,
intent, or purpose whatsoever; that I do not, on ac
count of myself or my heirs, claim or dernand any
right, title, or interest in or to the said bond - or
mortgage, but do-hereby confess, acknowledge, and
declare that the said bond and mortgage were made
to and received by me only as a trustee, to the use of
and for and on behalf ofthe said Bank of Commerce,
of which I am the president.",
This paper twits not recorded, but it was clearly
proved that it contained the whole contract be
tween the bank and the mortgagor. It is not
a contract for renewals, as in Gault vs. McGrath,
8 Casey, 392, but resembles that of-.the Bank of
Montgomery county, in that Bank's appeal, 12 Casey
170, and is entirely unlike the mortgage to B. W.
Richards,-in the same case, where there was an ab
solute contract on the part of the person, secured by
the mortgage, to make sales to The mortgagors; and.
to furnish endorsements of notes, given by the
mortgagors for purchases from other persons.
The agreement, by its positive terms, clearly in
cluded all notes of every description, discounted for
the use of the mortgagors, covering, of course, the
two notes, which the bank did not claim as against
Mr. Forrest, as well as'the eight notes which were
claimed as reneWals, of eight notes held by the bank,
as the date of the entry of his judgment.
The controversy-in the present• case arose upon
the distribution of the proceeds of a sherifVe sale, of
the mortgaged premises, under a judgment 'entered
up in the District Court, on the 24th April, 1856, upon
a bond and warrant for 010,000, given and executed
by William H. Maurice in favor of Edwin Forrest,
dated October 22, 1853, payable in one year from
date, and the consideration was money loaned.
It was referred to an auditor, who reported that the
eight notes held by the bank were not "renewals renewals of
the notes originally discounted by the - bank, or of
those held by it, at the time of the entry of Mr.
Forrest's judgment. The bank and Ur:Forrest each
filed with the auditor a demand for an issue, sub
stantially upon the same question, "whether the
notes held by the bank at the time of the sale were
renewals of notes, held by them at the time of the
entry of Forrest's judgment, and if so, to what
amount." Upon the filing of the auditor's report
exceptions were filed by the bank, and the court
granted their demand for ,-an issue. The pleadings
-were in the"usual form upon a wager, the bank being
plaintiff's and Mr. Forrest,defendant.
Upon the trial of this feigned issue several ques
tions were - propounded to Mr. Maurice' and Mr.
Boric by the plaintiffh, which were objected to by
the defendant, and overruled -by the court, on the
ground that they were asking the, opinions'-of the
witnesses, when it was the proper course to state the
facts. As these questions were substantially sub
mitted to the court, in the first and second points of
theplaintiff's ? upon which the judge was requested
to charge the jury, it will be more convenient to con
eider the admissibility of such evidence in reviewing
the answers and the charge of the court.
. .
te court in their charge said, "This is the simple
li stion, whether these notes, or any of _them, are
renewals' It is a question of fact. I understand a
renewal to be a new security given for a debt diie or
falling due ; in fact, substituting one security for
another, whether it is the same debt." "If the se
curities now held are . notes or securities given for
the same debt, they are renewals." Now, this
seems' to be a correct and comprehensive-view of the
law, and it is nowhere complained of by the appel
lants; and the court were clearly right in saying re
newal or not was a question of fact, for only in that
light could a jury be required to - pass upon it. The
court affirmed the third, fourth, and fifth points of
the plaintiffs, as follows : "That it is not necessa
ry, in order to one note being a renewal of a former
one, that it should be of the same amount, offtime to
run, or made, or endorsed by - the same parties ; nor
that the note given in renewal, should be given, or
-bear date upon the day of the , maturity of the former
note ; and that it need not appear that the identical
proceeds' of the new note were actually applied to
take up the note for which it was a renewal. That
a new note may be a renewal of a former one, al
though the new. note passes through the regular
course of discounts - in a bank; in other words, that
because a note is discounted, it does not necessarily
follow that it is not a renewal ore former note ; and
that if the jury believe that the several series of
notes, testified to by William -H. Maurice, formed
one continuous transaction in the loan of money by
the bank to Maurice, of which loan the note* in
question are the evidence, the verdict must be' for
the plaintiffs, notwithstanding any new note, in any
one, or more of the series, may have, been discounted
pier or subsequent to the maturity of the preceding
note"—the court adding, "you are to determine
whether the notes now held are securities for the
same debt."
Now, these instructions are certainly as-liberal
as the plaintiffs could desire, and unless the debt for
which these notes were given ! ! existed at the time of
the Forrest judgment, it is clear that the mortgagees
could not claim to be paid out of the proceeds of the
sheriff's sale, in preference to that incumbrance.
The first and second points of the plaintiffs were
requests that the court should charge the jury, that
if it was the intention of the partiesl that - these
several series of notes should be considered as re
newals, and that whether' the notes in question .
were the lasts of respective series of renewals
depends upon the intention of the parties as to the
successive notes, which make up the respective
series; and if the jury believe, from the evidence,
that it was the - intention of the parties that those
successive notes should be renewals of the preceding
notes in'the respective series, the verdict must be for
the plaintiffii. This the court properly refused to
do, saying " I do not think it is a question what the
parties intended 'or considered. But what is the
factl Was it for the same debtl"
It will belrecollected that there was not a word,
either in the written or any other contract between
the bank and- Mr. Maurice, aoout renewals at all,
and that the rejected questions on thetrial and these
-points were attempts to substitute the opinions and
the intentions of the parties for the actual fasts;
and the court were, therefore, clearly, right in over.
rulir% the questions and in declining so to charge
the jury. -
The jury gave, -verdict for the defendant, the
court refused anew trial, dismissed the exceptions,.
and confirmed the auditor's report absolutely. We
have,. therefore, the report of an auditor,'the finding ,
of r.'-jury, and the deliberate judgment of the court
below, that these notes were not renewals nor given
for the debts due or falling due at the time of the
entry of the Forrest judgment; and, upon a careful
examination of the whole case, we see no good Tea;
son to' dissent from this decision. Decree affirmed
at the costs of the appellants.'

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AND
WONDERFUL RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROF. C. H. BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT Street —The
difference between fact and )7ctions, of permanently
curing the suffering of their disease, and advertising to
cure, and showing no better evidence than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well be
appreciated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten
tively reading the following • certificates of cases from
some of the most reliable gentlemen of Philadelphia. who
were -- permanently cured. by Prof. C. H. BOLLES, of
1220 WALNUT Street.
Facts are stubborn things. and as evidence is required
fof the establishment of ..ill facts admitting of the least
doubt, and as the astonishing axes perfored by Prof:
BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in
this or any other city, it seems important in the present
case to offer some proof by way of- certificates from some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more
because there are some in this city who have the auda
city to claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES' dis
covery, and these same persona are really ignorant of the
Positive or Negative Poles cif any Electrical Machines,
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES bas cautioned the sick
against trnsting.their health in such reckless hands.
Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases by Prof. Bolles; 1220 Walnut street,
Philadelphia.
The first cure was performed three years ago, and
continues, well to this date :
About nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which- increased on me during the whole
tune, and I supposed, and , also my physicians that
treated me, that my real disease was dyspepsia, and at
first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at
first great hunger, and bad and exhausted feeling in the
stomach, only when I ate often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea
in the stomach pain in the epigastruirt, heartburn, great
fullness about the stomach, and painthrough the pyloric
region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto
mach,
i collection of acidity in the stomach, fetid'
taste n the month.' When the sense of hunger came
on as above described, I had a sense of fluttering
about the chest, and a sinking .faint-feeling -at the
pit of the stomach, which was, in- my first attacks, re
lieved, only by taking food; and, many times in my . walls
through the streets of Philadelphia, when these "sinking
spells came on, I was obliged, to call at some restaurant
and take food, but this only relieved me for the present
time, and thus I suffered for rears under the best medi-
cal treatment in the city: .However, my physician at
last pronounced nay disease cancer in- the stomach. I
continued to be treated for what was. informed to be
a cancer np to the time - that Professor Bolles came to
this city and advertised his important discovery in the
application of Galvanism and--other-modifications of
Electricity. for the cure of (as he announced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors,
white swelling. &c. immediately called on. Prof.
Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I
will here state that I considered my case a. hopeless one,
but notwithstanding this, my hopes were at once re
vived: when Prof. B. frankly told me that he could
care me inn few day s, and I am frank in saying that in
twelve or- fourteen treatments I was perfectly cured.
This cure to xne looks mysterious, and will ever appear
a wonder of wonders, but to Prof B. all seemed cer
tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew
to a day how'long it would take to produce a cure.
lam certain of a permanent cure from the fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have
had no symptoms of return. I think Professor Bolles
has made a very important discovery in the application
of El ectricityfor the certain cure of acute and chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he
has cured of the most obstinate diseases, both acute and
chronic. I have watched his success for more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
discovery to suffering humanity. I shall take pleasure
in being referred to by the diseased.
H. C. SHUR-TUFF,
3722 MINKET Street.
The following wonderful cure of Epilepsy was per
formed more than, eight months ago and remains well
to this date.
Read the following attentively:
The following is a statement of facts in reference to my,
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:-
For Jive years previous to my knowledge of Professor
C. H. Bolles' discovery of the therapeutic administra
tion of Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications
of Electricity for the mire of all acute and chronic
diseases, . I bad been severely afflicted with Epileptic
Fits of the most obdurate character, and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being. mired, as I had for years tried
the treatment and received the counsel of the most emi
nent Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain
ing relief if any could be found among the Old Schools;
but all my efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all
hopes were abandoned, as I then knew of no greater
skill for the cure of obstinate cases than In the Old
Schools. About six -months ago my mind was turned
to investigate the new discovery of Prof. C. -H. Bol
les, 1220 Walnut street, and, after noticing several
certificates of cures which were published, and some
from persons with whom I was acquainted, and
knew them to be reliable men, I was induced to
call on the Professor, and obtain his opinion of .my case.
After he had examined me about ten minutes, he frankly
informed me that he could care me, and offered to give
me a written warrantee of a complete cure, and in case
of a failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
an impossibility ; brit the frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced me of his scientific accuracy in
the diagnosis of my case. He disclosed all my sufferings
and symptoms for five years past as well as I knew them
myself. I will here state, for the good of humanity,
and especially those suffering , as I was, that I am Per
fectly cured. I further would state that more than' four
months have elapsed since my cure, and I have had no
symptoms, and, therefore.feel confident that I am cured.
I shall take pleasure in being referred to; at any time, by
any one suffering as I was, and any information of my
condition previous to my cure will be freely given to any
one at 1512 North THIRTEENTH Street, Philadelphia.
GEO. W. FREED.
N. B. --Professor C. H. BOLLES will publish, from
time to time certificates of the mire of chronic caseslwhich
bad resisted the treatment of the most eminent medical
men for years. - .
- Please take notice that Professor B. does not advertise
any certificates of cures; except those cured in this city.
