Adjourned. ' Übiquity of Lieutenant General U. S. GBAHT.—Tbe General, his wife, and several distinguished military gentlemen, arrived yesterday in Philadelphia and stepped at the Continental, since which time he has taken bis departure. The news of his arrival soon spread about the -city, and he was waited upon by a number of dis tinguished military officers and many prominent ci tizens. The General received all his guests with a hearty shake of the hand, and with that same mo desty that has marked his actions upon all occa sions. A large crowd collected in the saloon of the hotel, and to prevent too great a jam, several police officers were called in to stand guard at the stairway. The General wore a slouon hat and bore no other mark of his rank than two silver stars upon eaoh shoul der. Thus, it will be seen, the Lieutenant General tra vels quickly; he is here to-day and gone tomorrow. - His headquarters will be at such place as he may se lect, And he will travel in whatever line he mw choose. It is probable that the distinguished chief tain will dreis himself to please his own notions, and that prying quidnuncs, who deem it necessary to telegraph bis eve; y movement to the press of the - country, thus giving information to the enemy, will find themselves b» filed. The latest telegram places the Lieutenant General at Nashville, Term. An other paper gives the very important information .thathis headquarters are at Culpeper, Va. The fact is that his headquarters will be in the saddle— here, there, and everywhere. The Board of Trade.— The Philadel ;phi& Board of Trade held a meeting, at their rooms on Monday evening) President Morton in the chair.

The consideration of the subject was postponed for the present. The committee on lights, and harbors were in* .struoted to memorialize the Legislature adversely to the passage of a bill now before that body, asking, on behalf of the pilots, an increase in their rates of pilotage to ard from this port. J^djourned, Gross Recklessness.—On Monday af ternoon, one of the conductors on the G-reen and *Coates streets cars gave the signal to go ahead, While an old lady with a child was getting out of the ■car. The lady had barely reaohed the lower step when the car moved on, and the consequence was that the child was thrown with violent force into the street. A vehicle coming by at the time narrowly escaped passing over both; but, as it was, the hand of the child was horribly mangled by being trod iipon by the horse. The Jewish Festival of Pokim.—This festival, though not ordained in the Pentateuch, is generally kept up by the modern Jews more gene rally than any other festival in their calendar of festivals. Its origin can be found in the book of Esther IX, in which its institution as given, by Mor •decal is found in verse 20 to 29. On the eve of the festival the book of Esther is recited in the syna gogoguee, but on the following eveningevery Jewish society has its ball, foremost among which ranks the Purimßall. The Toxaivanda. The two-turreted ■ .monitor Tonawanda, which is about being pttped on the dry dock by means of a hydraulic not reached that position yet. The workmen have so far succeeded in moving her five inches. While woikiogon her yesterday, the cast-iron key which fastens the engine to the ways broke in two pieces, .and consequently it will be impossible to go on with her till a new key is cast.

They went to the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, and have been quar ered there ever sinoe. THE POLICE. [Before Hr. Alderman Beltler.] Alleged Heavy Robbery. Two men, giving the names of Thomas Graham and George Free, were arraigned at the Central Station yesterday afternoon, on the charge of rob bing a man named Owen Me larty of the sum of $652 and a bill of lading to the amount of $605. It seems that Mouarty and the defendants hap pened to meet with each other near Twenty-fourth' and Lombard streets, where they all drank pretty freely. McCarty became deoidedly intoxicated. The three men then proceeded to house No. 14l2,San*om street, by whioh time the victim became a little sobered. He called for a bottle of wine; and in pay* ing for it exhibited a considerable amount of money. He k soon fell asleep under the effeots of the last draught, and when he awoke he foufid hi« pocket book miißlng, containing all hla money. He charged bis companions with having taken the money, whereupon it is alleged that Free pushed him Into the street, and then dosed the doer. One of the female inmates of the house testified that McCarty was very drunk when he was brought there; he was fairly dragged in; he fell asleep on the settee, and the two defendants sat beside hitn,' After awhile the defendants went away, and were joined by four others outside. MoOarty, who had lelt the piaoe, returned some time after, and asked lor admittance, saying that he thought his money might be found. The pocket-book w*s recovered, but its contents Nad been removed. On searching Graham the turn of $241 was found upon him. Both prisoners were dressed in new suits of clothing. They were committed in default of $1,600 each to amwer. The parties were again searched In the lock-up. and the additional sum of $l2O was found secreted in one of their hats. [Before Hr. Alderman Patehel. ] Dishonest Domestic. A domestic, giving the name of .Elizabeth Hall, was arraigned yesterday on the charge of purloining clothing, the property of the family where she was employed. The amount alleged to have been stolen was $2B. The defendant seemed to be abashed when hearing the evidence adduced. She was committed to answer at court. [Before Mr. Alderman White.] Singular Case of Nightmare. Patrick Hand and his wife, who have not been married any great length of time, were among the prisoners at the Union-street station-house yester day morning. The investigation of this case opened rather interesting developments, as indicating a very singular phenomenon known as nightmare. It also proves the alaority of police offloers. It seems that at an, early hour, yesterday morning several polioe offloers were standing at Fourth and Gatklll streets. They were startled by the appalliog cry of “ Mur der ! murder! murder!” The sound emanated from the residence of Mr. Hand. In a moment the official whistles sounded, the officers hastened to the scene, burst open the door, aDd entered. The parties inside were more or less confused, and not being able to give any satisfactory account of the affair, they were conducted to the lock-up. The whole neighborhood was aroused ; windows were thrown up, night-capped heads projected over the sills, and every one Inquired the reason of the dis turbance. Mr. Hand could not give even a satis factory explanation of the affair, and the occurrence seemed to Mrs. Hand to be more like a dream thaa anything else. That murder was loudly cried was testified to by the officers. The alderman, shrewed as he is, was at a loss to know what oharge oould pos sibly be preferred against the party, and, therefore, dismissed them, attributing the distusbance of a sleeping community to a singular attack of night mare. THE COURTS. Supreme Court In bitnc—'Woodward, Chief •Justice, and Thompson* Strong, Head, and AgneWj Justices, Klopp and Stump vs. The Lebanon Valley Bank et al. An opinion was delivered in this case, yester day, by Agnew, J., and a decree entered thereon~in substance as follows: So muoh-of the decree of the court below as relates tojthe stock of Myers & Shaw in the Lebanon Valley Bank, and the ooats, is re versed; and it is*ordered that the Lebanon Valley Bank transfer upon the books of said bank to the complainants in the bill the one hundred and fifty five shares of steck standing in the names of the said Myers & Shaw, and to pay to them the divi dends heretofore accrued on them ; and that the said Myers & Shaw, and their assigns, or any person claiming the said stock, shall beperpetuallydebarred and .precluded from recovering the same, or the value thereof, or any dividends thereof, from the said Lebanon Valley Bank. , The list of oases for the counties (of Northampton, Lehigh, Pike, Monroe, and Carbon was then re sumed, and the following disposed of: GraefPa Appeal. Argument concluded by S. A. Bridges for appellee, and by Mr. Marx for appel lant. Lee vs. Gould. Argued by G. M.

Argued by Reeder and Green for plaintiff in error, and by Harwell for defendant in error. Supreme CoitrtntNlsi Prius—Judge Agnew. Barnes vs. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Before, reported. The defence in this case was opened yesterday by Theodore Cuyler, who stated briefly what he expected to be able to show on be half of the company. He said that when the com pany came into possession of the canals and other State works, they found the canals, and especially the portion between Hollidaysburg and Hunting don. in bad repair, owing to the fact that the better facilities for transportation had muoh injured canal property for such purposes. That under the con tract of sale the defendants were only required to keep up, but not to enlarge or deepen, the canal That, nevertheless, the company did place the works in repair, in many parts completely rebuilding it; and Mr. C. referred to the fact that from 1857 to 1863 the company had built, on the upper Juniata division 22, and on the lower Juniata 4 locks, and on the latter division had repaired 36 lock gates, and on the former 38, rebuilding at the same time, on both divisions, altogether 116 bridges, and also making extensive repairs to dams and waste ways. Upon the line of canal thus repaired or rebuilt the receipts aDd expenditures of the company during the seven years were as follows: Receipts from the Lower Juniata, $111,236.10; expenditures, $lBB 523.45. Re ceipts from the Upper Juniata, $15,184.90; expendi tures, $149,606 05. The defenoe also say that plaintiff has not shown any damage sustained by him, as, according to the testimony, he made the same number of round trips since 1857 as before; also, that the evidence for the defence would show that the company has always been amply prepared readily to repair breaks in the canal, as they might occur. The repairs of the canal, aince it came into possession of the company, had been gradually made, in order to. render unne cessary the interruption of traffic. Mr. O. further said that the whole of the canal, from Hollidays burg to Huntington, has been reconstructed, exoept dredging, which was now about to be done. The examination of witnesses for the defence was then begun.- Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge Ludlow* CASE OF FALSE PRETENCES. The Commonwealth vs. William H. Canfield. The defendant, a resident of Youngstown, Maho ning county, Ohio, was indicted for obtaining goods under false pretences, and was placed on trial yes terday. The prosecutors are Dale, Ross, & Co., merchants of this city, and their allegation is that the defendant came to them and represented that he was a merchant doing business in the town above mentioned, with a Capital, after payment of all lia bilities, of more than eight thousand dollars, and desired to buy a bill of goods of them. They were referred to Morgan & Co., to whom he had made a similar statement. One of the prosecutors saw Morgan & Co., and saw also defendants’s statement as taken down by them, and was satisfied if it were tiue to Bell defendant goods, which they accordingly did. The two first bills told at 4 months’ time each were paid at maturity. A third and laßt bill, amounting to about eight hundred dollars, was sold defendant on the same terms; but before it matured Canfield made what prosecutors alleged to be a fraudulent conveyance or sale of hisjßtoek to his uncle. They now.allege that all his representations as to his capital and business were false, and were made with the Intention of defrauding them. - The defence has not opened. PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRADE.
