United States Sanitary Commission. . PniLAnaLPHiA AobitOt, 1307 Chestnut street, Deo. U, 1863. To the Editor of The Press: Sia: As the rebel Government has prohibited (temporarily, It Is to be hoped) the forwarding of supplies for the benefit of the prisoners at Rioh mond, it may be well to present a statement of the number Bnd hind of supplies sent by the, Sanitary Commission since October S 3, for that purpose. It will be observed that, although it may not be true that our brave sufferers,'ih'the language of the rebel agent, “ will be able to set a table equal to any in the United States,” still, there can be no doubt that the contributions of the Sanitary Commission have proved an immediate relief to those for whom they were intended. The oath value of the articles in the annexed table is more than twmty-scvm thousand dollars. Very respectfully, R. M.

NW KW Foe years our sister cities New York and Boston have had the advantage of ue in s very im portant matter —namely, ft provision for the even ing’s entertainment of oburoh-going, muoio-loving, Christian people, on that great anniversary, the2sth of December. In view of and to rectify this want in our community the board of directors of the Handel and Haydn society have, at great pecuniary expense and the devotion of much valuable time ana labor, determined to bring forth in a manner never heretofore attempted on Christmas night, as being peculiarly appropriate, Handel’s great master piece, The Messiah. ■ We earnestly hope that a generous public will . promptly and adequately support the society in their endeavor to supply so great a public want. We also understand that the society'intend pro ducing during the season Mendelssohn’s Hymn of praise and Noronha’s Columbus. This last was pro duced sixteen years ago by the Philadelphia Sacred Music Society, when it was so highly appreciated that it had to be repeated. It may be proper to add that the society numbers over two hundred of the best amateur singers of the city, and will be ably supported by the Germania Orchestra, the society being conducted by the well-known leader of the ‘ latter, Prof. Carl Sentz. • . . , , We refer our readers to the society’s advertise ment, in another column. Visit to the Army op the Potomac.—; Mr. George H. Stuart, president or tlie Christian Commission, and Mr. Joseph Patterson, treasurer, "■ returned to the city yesterday, from a visit to the Army of the Potomao. They were received by the offloers and soldier* everywhere with great cordi ality, General Meade tendering them the use of his own carriage. They report .the army in excellent Spirit* and good condition. _ The woik of the Christian Commission among the Soldiers is progressing very favorably, and much good ie being accomplished. Wherever the-presi dent and treasurer of the Commission went, the soldier* pressed around them, thanking them, and manifesting the greatest interest in the cause ol the. Commission. We understand that it is the inten tion of the members of the Commission to avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the large contributions recently received, to extend the ope rations ol the Commission in every portion of the army. __ Important Arrests.—A party were ar rested a few days since, on the charge of robbing the iouse of John O’Neill, at Fifth and Redwood streets, of money to the amount of $l,lOO. The ac cused were taken before Alderman KLcPJuUm, who held them to bail in the sum of $4,600 to await* further hearing, to take place at 4 ©’clook on next Saturday afternoon. For several years past quite a number of dwellings, in different parts of our city, have been robbed of money, in gold and bank notes. Houses have been entered through trap-doors and rear windows, by the use of jimmies; bureaus, Irunka, and closets, have been ransacked, and amounts of money, in many instances gold, were stolen* * vhere are quite a number of instances on uublio record of mysterious disappearances of money, satisfactory evidence has ever been obtained as to persons who have been thus robbed yrarn are i*v>M*Bted to call at the j“Saturday afternOcm?ve,Ktb tend ftte-kwLShipP* ll *? • Hospital Items.— Thomas Tunks, aged 40 year*, wb* admitted into the Penn Hospital yes terday, having received two oompound fractures of his right arm.

It will be sent to him in a day or two to York town, where the regi ment is stationed. Almshouse Paupers. —There are several ■hundred strong and able-bodied lazy paupers in the Almshouse. They are an expense to the public. Therefore they belong to the public. Good use could be made of these very paupers, if they were sent to do menial service for our brave soldiers now in the field or camp. ■ Accident. — A lad, named Sample, was run over, yesterday morning, by a coal oar on Broad street, above Lombard. One of his legs was out off, and the other badly mashed. The sufferer was re moved to the residence of his parents, on Twelfth street, above Catharine.

A hard-working and industrious German 'had his wife arraigned before the polioe magistrate of the Fifth ward yesterday, on the oharge of drunken* ness, abuse, and assault and battery. She is a pretty good looking woman, black hair, blaok eyes, and rosy cheeks, hut while under the malign influence Of alcoholic and lager-beer inebriation, anything eke but an angel. The husband is kind-hearted. He has borne with her “ sprees*’ until further lor bearance is entirely out of the question. :• “ Alderman,” said he, “ my vife gets trunk Bhoost as Often as effer she blesses; und she booms to mine shop so trunk dis time as she neffer vas before; und she spittings at me,* so vild, und den smashes *U tings mit me; stand in horror at seeing my tings all smash vot Imake a liffingwid.” • • \ * “That is certainly veiy bad conduct, on her part,• replied the alderman. “ Veil, yen X booms ter mine house, effary ting is all smash, vat I don’t care so moooh about, dem. tings, but she smashes all in der shop, vich sthops me from making mylifllog for herself too, dat ish vat I put-the most piamc on her, I now coonuto der law for protection.” . “ Hid she ever lay violent hands on you t” inquired the alderman. - . . , . ' “Yell, sir, many dimes she puts her own hants on me, und Oder tings, too -, she bulls mine hair, scratches me ven I’m sohleep, kicks der clothes off der ped, und makes me shifter mit der gold.” ’ “ That is really too bad, these cold nights,” replied the distinguished magistrate, “ a wife. ought to try to keep her husband warm.” “Have you anything to say, madam?’ continued the magistrate. The wife made no reply, and stood like aßtatue. “ All I vanta, Aldermens,” said the husband, “is not to hurt her, but shooit to keep her from hurting me und my tings vat I work mit at der shop.” The wife was required to enter hail in the sum of $6OO to he of future good behavior.

SENTBXCB BOR BURGLARV, ... William Keating pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary. - ~ Keating is a man welljknown to the dispensers of criminal justice. Previous to 18S8 he had frequently been tried before the oriminal court, for various offences, from burglary down to larceny, but had so far escaped conviction. In that year he was tried before Judge Allison for burglary, and was convicted. The evidence, however, upon which he was convioted, not being entirely satis factory to the Judge, no sentence was imposed, and Keating was permitted to'go at large on his own re cognizance. Not long after, however, he was again arrested on two separate charges of burglary and ar son. Upon these ne was tried at different times be fore Judges Allison and Ludlow, and convioted upon both, the double sentence imposed amounting to ten years. Of this period Keating served about three years and nine months, having been pardoned by the Governor. He had not, it seems, forgotten his old tricks, and was but a short time after his release detected in the attempt to commit the burglary of which he now stands convicted by his own plea. After a recapitulation of the facta above stated by Judge Allison, Keating was sentenced to an impri- Bonment of six years and six months in the Eastern Penitentiary. m Chas. Barney and Edwin K. Niles were arraigned on a charge oi robbery. Barney pleaded guilty, and Niles not guilty. The latter waß then placed on trial, when the fol lowing faetß were developed: On the last night of Ootober, Barney and Niles stopped at the Mount Vernon Hotehin this city, registering their names as from New York. On the night of the 2d of No vember, they having in the meantime formed the acquaintance of George Sohrack, a boarder in the house,he was induced to go to the theatre with one of them (Barney.) They returned together at about ceeded up stairs* and Niles went b&cktothe yard. Upon reaching the upper story, where the bed-rooms were, Barney requested Schraok to come into Ms (B room, as he had something to show him, b. accordingly went in with and while looking at & revolver which B. exhibited, the latter struck him four blows on the head with a “billy,” felling him to the floor. Barney then caught him bytfle throat, and called for some invisible person to “ hurry up.” The door opened, and a fluid was thrown into Schrack’s face, which rendered him in sensible at once. Upon recovering hit senses, an hour after, he discovered that he had been robbed of Deienticu-watcb) and breastpin. „ , . , the office, setttecrtuv.weantime, had walked down to Information having been ldnf fr ifce;house. office, the defendants were arrested the at the Kensington Ddpdt when in the act of buying tickets for New York. In the valise carried by Niles, but which Beemed to be common to both, were found *a number of keys, and, on Barney’s person Schrack’s] pocketbook, but none of his money or valuables. . ... The jury convicted Niles, and sentence, as to both, .was deferred till Saturday; • ' • ' PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRADE. THOMAS KIMBER, Jh., 1 „ ISRAEL MORRIS. >Committeb of the Mosth. JOSEPH 0.
