Dur New York cotemporaries have re- AV presented a very startling inside ,:vr of their city. The stranger Who sees ly its grand thoronghfares, its magnifi bt hotels, its splendid equipages, its pale -1 residences, and its extensive stores, is dily dazzled by these evidences of • alth and grandeur_ But the poor man o seeks a home sees the other side of brilliant picture. Beneath the false re, hundreds of thousands of unfortunate • n, women, and children " live, move, and ve their being" in a Pestilential atmos • re, and amid associations and surround s of the most dangerous and destructive erecter. None but the wealthy can there 'oy comforts and conveniences which, in iladelphia, are deemed indispensable by who are not specially unfortunate. The nary condition of New York is worse 4 . that of any other large city in the lized world, and a large percentage of r population Is annually swept away- by eases engendered by the inevitable ac mpaniments of her tenement-houses, and the filthy streets in which human beings e crowded together in the most deplorable anner. One great cause of this is alleged to be e high taxes which are necessary to de y the needless expenditures made bycor pt officials. It is costing much more to 'TM New Vork badly than to govern ondon or Paris well. And the burden of I's wrong falls at last in the worst possible ace—upon the struggling industrial classes; • d in the most fatal shape, by depriving em of decent homes, and of the great essings of Nature—pure air, pure water, d pure food. The citizens of Philadelphia can never .timate too highly the advantages (so free d common that they are scarcely thought ,;) which they possess in the wide geo raphieal extent of our municipality, its nu terous dwellings, and in the progressive d humane spirit which has characterized whole social development. Here, one roily to a house is the rule ; in New "ork, it is the rare exception. Here, a large roportion of houses are owned by their ecupants ; In New York, real estate is con entrated in the comparatively few hands. • ere, nearly every industrious, married techanie or laboring man owns or rents a ome, which is his castle ; in New York, if c does not obtain very large wages, he is reed to abandon all hope of privacy and übstantial comfort. It must be confessed, however, that our .wn expenditures, though far below those of "ew York, have, of late years, still been eavy. Now that the war is ended, our oters cannot be too careful to check the ;rowing tendency to extravagance; because, n the end, the burdens will fall here, as in 'ew York, upon the occupants of our iwellings, whether they merely rent or !wit them; and as taxes increase the cha atter of the accommodations for the toil e.; masses will gradually diminish. BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY ELEC• TIONS The British Parliamerd was dissolved on he 6th of this month. A General Election now in progress, and out of the 658 seats Iccupied in the House of Commons, at least e-half will be contested. Estimating the 0 of each contest at an average of $20,000 to eao, candidate, (one Yorkshire election, in whio, pious Mr. WILBERFORCE was a candidate, cost $BOO,OOO to the winning Artir and nearly as much to the losers,) and assuming that only half the seats will be contested]-328 seats at $20,000 for each of twcicanrlidates---the money that arm e weeks on elietioneetnig, trill than to $13,160,000. Large as this sum amour think the estimate lower than the rea r, Yet, there. are stringent laws aea it bribery and corruption ! Every cal: plate makes a point of publishing an adds to "the free and independent elec. to-'—into whose hands, at the same time, gents are slipping ten or twenty-pound r 3e ; or, when' votes are scarce, paying f to one hundred pounds for a canary d, a cat, a guinea-pig, a rabbit, or any- ing else belonging to the "free and inde mdent elector," who has not yet voted, _nd whose vote, in the last hour of the elec ,ion, may decide the contest. At election ay, and for three weeks before, each can didate has to hire a certain number of public ouses in the town or the district, which he must keep open until the battle is over— this keeping open meaning that unlimited eating and drinking must he supplied, from the commencement of the campaign to the close, to every elector who promises to vote for said candidate, on whom devolves the task, whether he win or lose, of paying the tavern bills, to the items of which no objec tion can be made by the successful man. The taverns and public houses, how ever, do not draw most heavily on the purse of the candidate for a seat in the British House of Commons. There is a necessity, even. when the election is not contested, of employing a certain number of local lawyers—men who are personally acquainted with all the electors, who can therefore make a fair calculation of the chances, and who must be well paid for their services. In the event of contest, nearly an the lawyers are employed—both sides knowing that their influence and local knowledge is all important. The law of elections limits the candidates' costs to their equal share of election hustings and polling-places, and employing polling clerks to check off the official vote-takers' entry; but the actual expenses swell up to thou sands and tens of thousands of pounds sterling, and it is difficult to prevent or punish this. The thing is done openly enough. In 1847, when Lord Joint Rummer, 'Who was then Prime Mi nister, was one of the candidates for the city of London, the expense of that contest to the liberal side was $350,000, and Lord JOHN'S share would have been nearly s9o,ooo—a much larger sum than he ever possessed in a lump, up to that period. Baron ROTHS CHILD, who was elected at the same time, paid Lord foam's expenses and his own, on the understanding, it was stated and believed, that, as an equivalent, his little Lordship should introduce, and do his best to carry a bill removing the restriction upon Jews sitting in' Parliament. How his Lord ship introduced the bill, and how he con trived "not-to do it"— keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope —is it not written in the parliamentary history of the land ? Even now, when two Tory candidates are in the field for the rep resentation of the city of London, it is de clared by public advertisements in the Lon don papers that $175,000 had been sub scribed to pay the expense of the contest —and the legitimate expense being only $5OO to each candidate, what can the $175,000 go for ? Whoever has read the descriptions of contested elections, in DICKENS' " Pick wick Papers," in WARREN'S " Ten Thou sand A Year," and BnewEn's " My Novel," has a pretty accurate idea of the manner in which these things are managed—from the -sharp practice of little Mr. Perker at Eatans will, and the bribery practiced by Mr. Oily -Gammon at Yatton, to the sharp intrigues of Baron Levy at Lansmere_ There is very little exaggeration in these deseriptions—even 'in WARREN'S novel there is exaggeration of manner rather than of ewe Immense ambition to become a parliament-man, an .unsalaried position, which involves the living expensively in London during s i x : months every year_ie the game generally worth the candle ? Lord PALM:RESTON, that cunning master of fence, is one 'who has won at that game. He entered Parliament at the General Elec tion in May, 1807, by investing a few thou sands in the purchase of a seat for the bo rough of Newport, Isle of Wight, and has occupied some well-paid office during fifty out of the fifty-eight years which since have Passed. In December, 1834, the electors of South Hants, in which county his landed property is chiefly situated, refused to, elect. him, and he remained out of Parliament for some months. But a certain Mr. JAMES KENNEDY, who sat for the borough of Ti verton, in Devonshire, and had great influ ence with the electors, resigned his seat, re commended PALMERSTON as his successor, and brought him in. PALMERSTON, who was Foreign Secretary, was grateful, and very soon after the election appointed Bus liEDY to the permanent office of Judge of the Mixed Commission at the Havannah, with a salary of $20,000 per annum. Ever since, and with nothing more than an occasional, but only nominalopposition, Lord PALMERSTON has represented Ti verton. The electors could not have a more appreciative member. Every man who has a vote, and professes to hold PALMERsTores opinions (whatever they may be, for the time being,) may calculate on having one or more of his sons, ne phews, .sons-in-law, cousins, and soon, being provided for; at the proper age, by some place or office in the public service, into which he is inducted by the favor of Lord PaurEnsrox. Whenever he dies, the Tivertonians' will have especial cause to grieve over his loss—unless they haVe the good fortune; Which happens rarely to one borough, to be again represented by a Prime Minister. As it is, his Lordship need not dread opposition at Tiverton. On the day of election he will appear on the 'hustings, be re-elected in five or ten minutes, male a speech upon general topics, (not 'including Lord WESTBURY'S case,) give a dinner at the hotel to a score of friends, run off by the train before " the swam hours have commenced, travel all night, arrive at Cambridge House, Picca dilly, (his private residence,) in time for bath and breakfast, and walk down to his office in Whitehall, as gay as "a lark, and as fresh in appearance as if he were only forty, years old instead of eighty. ABOITT IItIISEIIMS. The fire had scarcely destroyed Ban nom's Museum in New York, before that indefatigable manager commenced making arrangements for the construction of a new establishment. Yet no attempt was made to rebuild his museum here. The effort to organize some such institution in Callow hill street proved a failure ; and the various collections which are at nearly all times maintained in some parts of our city, are not sufficiently extensive to attract our citizens generally. Li former times, OUT museums were flourishing and prosperous'; but they have entirely faded from our horizon of amusements, and can never be restored until tact, capital, and enterprise combine to organize a first-class institution, which will abound with novelties and objects of rational and enduring interest. It is scarcely probable that such an effort will be made ; but while our New York cotem poraries are busy in discussing Barnum's new projects, and urging all sections of the country to swell his collection by volun tary contributions, we can scarcely suppress a regret that no Philadelphian is disposed to embark in a similar undertaking. The wonderful impromptu collection made in our city by the managers of the Great Cen tral Fair shows how rich this region is in rare and valuable curiosities, and what an abundance of the choicest material for a permanently attractive exhibition ex ists. The only problem is to combine the resources and tact necessary to organize and put in good working condition such an establishment. This is a peculiarly favora ble time to obtain mementos and relics of the late war. Enough of these alone to attract many visitors, and to form a collec tion of enduring historic interest, could be made with little difficulty. The arrange ment of the Horticultural Department at our Great. Central Pair attractive, which could very advantageous ly be followed, particularly if a room of the proper dimensions was kept at a tempera ture adapted to the growth of tropical plants. A good collection of living, rare wild animals would be a source of enduring interest ' BARNUM showed good judg ment in organizing his large aquarium and in securing his live whale and edu cated seal. This feature might be ex tended until a fair approach to a zoolo gical and tropical garden was secured, and the living plants and animals of the most distant regions, produced in a grand com bination. The tendency of the age is realistic. Our theatres make some of their best hits by producing scenes in which real water, real fire, or a real garden is intro duced on the. stage. Commonplace as the effect may be, it gives verisimilitude to the performances. This same craving for re ality should be consulted by the manager of a museum. Even if such an institution as we describe were not located in the very heart of our city, all points are now so ac cessible by the passenger railway cars that a sufficient attraction would draw large crowds to 'any reasonable location. Logan Square was crowded every day and even ing while the Great Central Pair was in operation—no one objecting to it as too ills tant--and some site at a convenient point might be found where the requisite land could be secured for a moderate price. When •we remember what crowds thronged to see the Gallery of Arms and Trophies, the WrixtAm PENN Parlor, the Berks County Kitchen, the Horticultural Collection, the Picture allery, the Smoking Saloon, the Indian and Sleight-of-hand Departments, and various other branches of the Central Fair, although separate prim of admission were charged for each, we cannot doubt that a good museum, milting to some such features an attractive performance, would prove a success. At present, a necessity for a new Circus build ing is felt by the managers of those exhibi tions—the old location at Eighth and Wal nut having been converted into a theatre. It is said to be Be.antna's intention to de vote a portion of his new museum to eques trian entertainments for three months during the winter, and a similar combina tion might be practicable here. If a "showman" of the requisite capacity and energy, starting out with a programme , similar to that. e have roughly sketched, were to make the proper effort,' we think he would find hearty encouragement from many of our citizens.

OM Nig , * YORK reOrteIfPOWICIICe orThc New YORK, July 18. Our city has been, for the past four or live days, submerged in a sea of melody. The German has invadeti_thiicity, and what with his warbling and genial disposition has set dverybotly " a singing" snatches from Verdi, Strauss, and Meyerbeer. On Sunday the ninth SAngerfeSt was inaugurated, and on Monday night the.grand concert, in which over two thousand singers participated, was given intim Aeademy of Music. This was a very brilliant affair, and attracted to that temple of music one of the largest, as well as one of the most fashionable and enthusiastic, audiences that ever assembled there. Last evening the se lected Sangerbunds sang "at the mark," or rather, competed for prizes. The principal societies from 'your city, Buffalo, Ilartford, Washington, and Baltimore entered into the contest, all of them doing exceedingly well. To-day the local societies and their guests had agrand parade through Broadway, after which they proceeded to Jones , Wood to spend the rest Of the day in pick -nicking and to receive the prizesthat had been awarded, and of which the Philadelphians took so fine a share. The Turners and German militiaregiments turned out as escort, and assisted in making the dis play one of a rare and imposing character. To-morrow the German Singerbunds from abroad will leave for their homes, and permit the city once, more to resolve itself into its wonted condition, which, during this hot weather, is not of the pleasantest sort, i can assure you. PAUL MORPHY, the celebrated chess-player, is in town, having arrived here about a week ago, from Now Or leans. Paul, it seems, was quite a bitter seces Monist as long as the war lasted, but like a ma jority of that ilk, he now accepts things as they are, and is willing (T) to let bygones be by gones. While in Washington, a few days ago, on a flying trip, he was, according to report, "out" by his old friends. This was a check mate not anticipated, and not considering it all "on the square," hereturned to tills city. The New York Chess Club Rooms have been visited, by Paul, between whom and some "crack" members a number of games have been played-r Paul, as a matter of course, be ing the winner in nearly every case, even with great odds against him. How long he intends to remain in this city I cannot inform you. A - DICTUMS CHARGE In the second number of Mrs. Grundg, Miles O'Reilly is charged with having committed a gross plagiarism in translating from the Latin an ancient war-song, and publishing it as ori ginal. Miles accordingly comes out in the Citizen—his own paper—and berates the old lady in a - very ungallant manner, and offers ten thousand dollars, per authority of A. T. etewart, the many-Millionaire, for a copy of the Latin verses from Which the d cribbing , ' is alleged to have been done. "it is said, in cir cles that ought to know, that the whole affair is a big joke—that Miles preferred the charge against himself which appeweed in Mrs. Grun dy, for the purpose of snaking an oPportunity to defend himself, in his own paper, from sun dry plagiarisms with which he knew he was about to be, arraigned before the bar of the literary world. MRS. GRITNDY, By the way, is VW equal to Punch. For weeks before her debut the town was On the qui Dive to know what she would say. Some sanguin ary Bohemians predicted a glorious career for the "old 'ooman." They said she would slash all of the old fogies of the press most merci lessly, and knock them completely out of thne. Well, she has not done it. It is true that she carries a most ferocious-looking " umbrelly," and a bandbox that looks as if it might con tain a pile of hand-grenades, which she intends to launch upon the heads of her foes ; but, after all, she is a harmless old body, and can't possi blY do ally harni in the world. The truth is, that Iffrs. Grundy is a born consumptive, and is destined to all an "untimely grave." She is supported by a clique of Bohemians who constitute a mutual admiration society, re markable for nothing but a rule of action which properly signifies "You puff me, and hll puff you." These astute, profound, and witty Bohemians are determined to have the thing all to themselves, knowing that ,they have the ability to excel Punch, whin, paper, at a recent meeting, theyvoted "a dull and comic nuisance," without wit, or even humor, to recommend it. The editor of Mrs. Grundy is Dr. Carroll, a practising surgeon, a clever draughtsman, and a notorious joke-cracker. Ponumon. sOUTH AMERICA.

There is also a very good biography of Mr. Bright, which, however, er roneously states that "in 1817 the Ministers caused his defeat as member for Durham." It was a cathedral town, for which Mr. Bright was elected in July, 1813, owing to a quarrel of the voters among themselves. To our taste, however, the most engrossing article here is Part 8 of "Needle and Garden," in which, with great simplicity and effect, a needlewoman de. scribes bow she raised strawberries for sale. This month's critical notices in the Atlantic Moiatyy are good. mew§ of Foreign Literature.' [From the American rumnizerr.

As he died in 1833, and ordered 'their publication thirty years after his death, they ought to ha'ie been published in 1863. But he 'bequeathed them to the Duchess de Dino (by birth a deTalley rand,) and she, npon her death, bequeathed them to her unede's private secretary` at: de Bacourd.

LlNA:PartieS travelling in the interior of the State complain that the United States paper money , is either totally ignored or received at a high rate of premium by the people living in &stride beyond Columbia. A gentle Man recently arrived in this City states that he left his homy, which is in the northwestern part of the State, some days age, provided, as he supposed, with an ample sup ply of greenbacks to defray his travelling ex penses to Charleston. He proceeded to the of fice of the stage route and booked his name for a seat, and, on being told that the price was five dollars, tendered that amount in green backs, but was surprised at being informed that the company were reluctant to re ceive any other money than gold or sil ver, but would condescend to take green backs at the rate of one-half of their face value. The gentleman demurred at allowing so heavy a discount, especially when the rates of fare were established on the basis of the pre sent premium ongold, and on remarking to the clerk that he did not anticipate such ex- Orbitant prices, was curtly told by the latter that if lie did not choose to engage a seat in the coach, he would not be begged to do so, and that others were ready to supply his place. As there was but one line of coaches, and as the gentleman was anxious to reach the city as speedily as possible, he had no al ternative but to pay the price demanded 'in greenbacks and install himself as a passenger. The result of all this was that the gentleman reached the city with not only an emptypurse but with some little debt hanging over his shoulders. Another histance is reported of a gentleman coming front Richmond by the overland route. At many places on the journey greenbacks were refused altogether. This nervousness to receive United States paper money usually displays itself in towns not occupied by United States force& The people labor under the enormous impression that greenbacks are as valueless as the Confederate bills, and, having been once egregiously swindled., are doubtless fearful that they may be similarly served a second time. That such will be the case, however, they need have no apprehen sion. The United States finances are too securely based to warrant any uneasi ness as to' the- sound value of the green backs. We would not advise any one to refuse a bargain or a business transaction of any kind simply because coin is not tendered in payment. The people Of the North believe in greenbacks as also do a majority of the peo ple of the South who have bad opportunities of informing themselves on the subject of the stability, of the Government finances. The prospect is if our friends in the up counties decline to enter into business engagements on the ground that gold and silver are the only safe or legal tender, they will sadly injure their own interests. In Charleston we see scarcely any gold and silver in circulation, yet every one is only too anxious to get hold Of greenbacks. In- course of time the same Confident feeling will doubtless exist through out the State.—Charleston Courier. SONORA COPPER Illitras.—A correspondent of one of the St. Louis papers gives the narrative of an expedition from the foot of the Sierra Madre range across the State of Sonora to Arizona, in which allusion is made to the "insu-vellausll Nacosari copper mines as fol lows "It is a most wonderful development of that valuable ore, so lavishly and redundantly thrown down or up there, that almost upon the very surface one beholds masses of copper ore, with fifty per cent. of pure metallic cop per in it, in abundance sufficient to surfeit the markets •of the world. I scarcely know whether to call it a vein or lode. It is sixty feet wide, and runs for miles. The ore is so advantageously placed that it can be blasted out at one dollar per tonj offering to contract to take out five thousand tons at that figure. No shafts or tunnels seem necessary, anymore than on Pilot Knob or Iron Mountain. All that is necessary is to put in a blast, and knock off 'a ton at a pop.' Besides the cop per, each ton contains sixty dollars per ton of silver. I have many specimens of the .beautiful ore, some of them as beautifully variegated as the colors of the spectrum all Juan isthem fifty per cent. pure. The Don is a continuation of this wonderful mine, two thousand feet distant. Neither of them have been much' worked, capital being wanting. down at &len ece02,..:, tile - ifermof the mine already stripped presents tion that the ine.ba_such advantazeOus posi la- cost, th i a t t i o t u c t oul so d b r e aP la idl id Y ccoi:le the smelting furnaces at a less percentag es „f than can be said of any copper mine I have heard of, from Lake Superior to the Isthmus of Darien:, PersonaL The health of Jar Davis is said to be fast failing. , A icorrespondent of the N. Y. Herald says that there are many who think if he con tinues his pXesent habits and despondency he cannot live a week. One Of his eyes Is said also to be totally blind, while. the other is fast weakening. His habits in 'prison are much the same. He reads a Bible a great deal of his time, smokes some, is scrupulously clean, and sleeps better now than when he first came to the fort. In conversation he betrays an anx iety, and even determination, to discuss the subject of the, impossibility of ever convicting him of treason. He throws himself back upon the question of State rights as his main point of defenee. , For some time, finding that all the discussion was on his own side, he has kept Silent on the subject. There is every reason to believe that the execution of the assassina tion conspirators in , Washington has been communicated to Davis within the past three or four days. It is certain that a great and marked change has come over him, and to his undoubted knowledge of this execution the change is attributed. His food is of the best quality, he has abundance of pure air, and there is no special reason otherwise accounting for present gloominess and decreasing health, Every day:Mr. Clay is improving in health. He still takes his morning hours walk, and is in greatly improved physical condition on ac count of it. Dr. Bancroft feeds him on hospi tal diet yet; in fact, his constitution is in no condition to stand stronger food. He is very lively and`chatty if he can get any one to talk with him,and hopeful as to the future. No thing seems to affect the physique of Mr. Mitchel. He is apparently as good in health as on the day he was brought here. He goes barefooted most of the time, and takes things coolly and quietly. His manners are not very conciliatory, nor calculated to attach friends to him. I'am told that he has not lately ex pressed any fears as to the President pressing pardon upon him. Piano CITY. SOLDIERS MARCUrrio Tianotrow—DIS GRACEFUL CONDI:TT OF THE BOTH NBW YORE REGIMENT—PROBABLE MIIRDER.—There was a busy time at the Refreshment Saloons yester day, and we regret to statethat many of the privates of the 60th New York Regiment were very drunk, and behaved in an exceedingly outrageous 'Manner, defying all law and order, and proving themselves to be the skulitere in the hour of battle. Drunk, abusive, and mur derous in their intent, they arrived, and thus entered the Deaner Shop and Union Volun teer Refreshment Saloons. They were inso lent, and declaimed against Philadelphia; and With a shocking amount of the worst kind of profanity and obscenity, declared that nobody fought for the country besides themselves. Theseindividuals having obtained their break fast, separated into squads, and seemed to go npcin marauding expeditions, supposing that everybody was entirely. inferior to them in point of loyalty and respectability.' A squad Offive entered the public house of Mr. W. Butler, at Federal street and MoyamenSing avenue, and it was not long before they got into a fight. Isaac Butler, son of the proprie tor, was stabbed by one or more of the parties, in three Places, and last evening was in a very low condition. The soldiers demanded that their canteens should be filled with whisky, without payment therefor:, This started a fight, which resulted as stated. A number of police Officers endea vored to'. make arrests, but the drunken Sol diers charged bayonets, and some drew their side arras and forced the police to fall back. Thus was law and order set at defiance. At a later period than this, the tables in the saloons !were. spread for the 33d New Jersey Regiment, mid the drunken New York 60th made a demand for. dinner.. They were -very* I»solent. The 33d New Jersey arrived, and partook of their meal, after which, in order to prevent, a sacrifice of life and destruction of property,sa second meal was furnished to the drunken soldiers of the New York 60th, which had the efrect to Slightly sober them, Fortu nately, the transportation boat was in readi ness now, and the inebriates were marched into the depot yard, at the foot of Washington avenue; and then the gates were closed. In this enclosure they got to fighting among themselves. The boat finally started, and the people felt relieved thereat, It is fair to say that some of the members of this reginient appeared sober. The principal officers were entirely Sober, but could not control the men. The nbare respectable of the men were heartily ashamed of the conduct of.their companions, and were free to say: Mai the; drunken men, 7rere really cowards in battle. Ever since ,the eshellion Cemmeneed there has been more or 1 ess diSTO WHO conduct on the part of some of the regiments from New York Cityand Brook * lyn, but all reference to these eutbreaks were omitted by the newspaper press, for pruden tial reasons.

THE GALLANT TWENTY-NINTH. — The 29th Pennsylvania Veteran volunteers are ez..- pected to arrive at eight o'clock this Moining• The 29th Pennsylvania Volunteers was organ ized for three years, in June, ISM, and, after remaining in camp near the city fora few weeks, was assigned to the command of Major General N. P. Banks, then in command •nt Harper's Forry,Va. During 1861, and the carry, part of the following year, the regiment par ticipated in all the Campaigns of General Banks, on the Upper Potomac and in the She. nandoah Valley. In May,1862, they performed a prom:Uncut part in General Banks' noted retreat, and lost severely in officers and men. Three Companies (C, E, and F,) accompanied General Pope into the Valley of Virginia, and took part in the engagements of his campaign, and afterwards in the battle of Antietam. In consequence of the severe loss in numbers in Banks' retreat, the . balance of the regiment had been placed on duty on the Upper Poto mac. After Antietam, the regiment was again united, and in the 12th Corps (Slocum's) took part in the battles Of Chpeelloreville and Gettysburg. In consequence of the disasters to our arms in the West, the command to which this regi mentbelonged was transferred to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and served with distinction at Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Wan hatchie, and Ringgold, under Geary, Rooker' and Grant. In December, 1863, this regimeut was the first in the entire army to re-enlist for the war- After the veteranization, it returned to the scene of conflict in Tennessee, and was active ly engaged in the Twentieth Corps in all the battles under, General Sherman, front Chatta nooga to Raleigh, N. C. The regiment is now commanded by Brevet Brig. Gen. S. M. Zulick, and almost all or the present officers of the regimenthave been pro moted from its ranks. The following is a list of the engagements in which the regiment has been engaged, also a. list of the present officers. • Lid of Bragagementa.—Ball's Bluff, Md; Dam No. 4; Edinburg, Va.; Front !Royal, Va.; Win chester; Va. ; Cedar Mountain, Va.; Rappa hannock, Va. ; White Sulphur Springs, Vet. ; Chantilly, Va. ; Second Bull Run, Va..; Antie tam, Md. ; Chaneellorsville, Va. ;- Gettysburg, Pa..; Waubatchie, Tenn. ; Lookout Mountain, Tenn.; Mission Ridge • Tenn. ; Ringgold, Ga. ; Pea Vine Creek, Ga. ; 'Rocky Face Rid, Ga. ; Resaca, Ga. ; New Hope Church, Ga. ;Dallas, Ga. ; Pine Knobb, Ga. ; Kelp's Farm, Ga. ; Muddy Creek, Ga.; Kenesaw - Mountain, Ga.; ChataliOotchie River, Ga. ; Atlanta,.

Esler Brother, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, on Monday night, we are glad to learn, is to be speedily superseded by a new structure, two story, sixty by one hundred feet, built in the most substantial manner. It is to be com pleted in sixty days. Their office, for the pre sent, is at No. 28 South Fifteenth street. Ap plications from their customers will also be received at the corner of Broad and Wallace streets, where they have taken a new build ing for carrying on their bnsiness. The iliessrs. Esler return thanks to the following members of the Warren Hose and Philadel phia Steam Fire Companies, foi their prompt ness and bravery in staying the fire and res cuing the inmates of one of the burning build ings. The credit of having saved the women and children out of Mr. John Ester's residence is said to be especially due to Messrs. Philip Lowry, Samuel Gardiner, Jesse F. Garrison, Charles Proctor,John Gabriel, and It. W. Li bertson, of the Warren Hose; while Messrs. afir n in t kunpan, Thomas Duncan, James N. McKinney, of the Phriadelitta 1174 11 = 4 1 14 114 Company, also performed good service in ex tinguishing the flames. SAD CARE OF DILOWNING.—MT. Samuel Enshaw, a young Englishman, who was mar ried nearly a year ago, was drowned at Red Bank, N. J.;, on Wednesday afternoon, Re and his wife were with the sunday-school excur sion of the ,Church of St. John the Evangelist, and everything passed happily until he was drowned. He, and a companion got into a small leaky boat, not intending to row out any distance, but merely to paddle up and down the shore, in shallow water. The wind, how ever, freshened, and the frail craft Was blown out into the current, which was exceedingly rapid. The boat filled and sank. The unfortu nate Mr. Enshaw sank to rise no more, but his companion, being able to swim, kept his head above the water until rescued. The agony of the wife may be imagined, as she stood as one of the Spectators of the sad scene. GERMANTOWN ORPHANS' HOME.—The corner-stone of this institution will be laid at Mount Airy to-morrow. The Home was found ed in March, MO, and is under the care of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. All destitute orphan children are received, without refer ence to creeds or nationalities. Three teach ers, two gentlemen and a lady, are employed. A shoemaker, a carpenter, and a tailoress are not only working for the children, but also teach them the different trades. Many half orphans of soldiers were received and cared for before the State made an appropriation for the same. DELEGATE CROSEN.—The Convention of the Fifth'Representative District of this city, met last evening, at the Wetherill House, and unanimously elected Robert P.

John Smith, who was I),i-rested by Sergeant ° Murray and Meer Heel, had a: further hear ing on Thursday, upon the charge of being im plicated in the robbery of a soldier, named Mitchell, of the 98th Ite,giment Pennsylvania Volunteers, of $750, at the .Montgomery Hotel, a few nights since: It appears that the money was stolen from a belt worn by Mitchell, while -he was asleep. The alleged thief occupied the same apartment with the soldier that night, and Smith, who is alleged to have been the ac complice, was waiting down stairs for him. Smith was held in WO bail to answer. The other man has not yet been arrested. (Before Mr. Alderman NE,Ssey.3 BREAKING TRINGB GENERALLY. A luau 'who gave the name of Thomas D. Jones, it is alleged, went into.a tavern, on Wallet° street, above Ride avenue, and t A un c u lo s c e k ci h w i as isil t e m lf a b s Y he b d7an k d a ing a l umber of bottles and glasses shared the same fate. The pro prietor. upon remonstrating against such con duct, was assanited by Jones. The accused was held in $6OO bail to answer. SNEAK TIIIIIVICS On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, Watson's shoe atore, on Market street, near the Permanent Bridge, was robbed of seven pairs of boots and nine pairs- of gaiters. The goods were taken front the window, which was broken open. The thieves, with the stolen property, were met at Twenty-third and Mar ket streets, by a policeman, but they lamed& ately dropped their plunder and ran. The goods were recovered, but the robbers es caped. (Vefore Mr. Aldertirian Seitler•] : 011171?..L , OetaVIOUEO,V. Cat o was passing' along Setenth street, in the vicinity' of Chestnut, when Geo. C. Dobson and Daniel. McLeod assaulted, him in agrass manner, for which they were ar , rested and taken. before Alderman Battler, who held them to bail in the sum of flcioo to answer the charge at court. Dobson is a banjo - Instructor, and McLeod is a broker on Third street. John 11. Sexton is the name of a youth of flf., teen, but very small for his age, who was bC fore the same alderman, on the charge of rob bing the till of a liquor st ore owned by a Mr. Cavanaugh, and situated in the northern tmr tion of tbe city. Sexton went about his busi ness in a regular profossionalmannor, and had accumulated ,a small amount of loose change wheri.he was seized by Mr. Cavanaugh and banded to the police officer. On his person was found a bunch of all kinds of keys, two re-' eeinis—one for ten and the other for twenty dollars paid by said youth to, a, Mr. Dobson for a banjo and instructions on he same, and 'a certain kind .of transparent card not lit to be in any respectable persons hands. Sexton is evidently one of those youths who make peri odical visits to low concert saloons, and the height of -whose ambition is to play a banjo or set of bones, and who Would not scruple at ac quiring any means to carry out their inten tion. The alderman committed him, in default of eight hundred dollars bail, to answer the charge at court. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. No more gratifying. illustration could be given of the financial strength of this country than has been afforded by the rapid absorption Of nearly eight hundred millions of seven thirties, with little if any diiturbance of the money market. The recent large subscrip tions to the last series of these notes indicate that the loan will be Closed in a very short time ; and though the necessities of the Treasu ry will probably be far from satisfied when tile whole is taken, an opinion has gained ground that when the present series of the seven thirty loan is exhausted, the Secretary of the Treasury will have no power to issue other bonds until after another loan act has been passed, the refiniElite authority obtained from the next Congress. This Opinion is obviously erroneous, as the set authorizing the borrow ing of the six hundred millions on bonds or treasury notes, specially provides that "any treasury notes or other obligations bearing interest, issued under any act of Congress, May, at the discretion 'of the Secretary of the Treasury, and with the consent of the holder, be converted into any description of bonds authorized by this act; and no bonds so authorized shall be considered a part of 'the amount of six hundred millions herein before. authorized." This obviously gives the Secre- ' tary of the Treasury the power to issue bonds '" of denominations not less than fifty dollars," payable "at any period 'not more than forty years from date of issue," and "redeemable at the pleasure of the government, at °rafter any period not less than five, nor more than forty years from date." The interest on such bonds must not exceed six per cent. When payable in coin, or seven and three-tenths per cent. when payable in currency. The amount of outstand ing obligations which may be thus converted into bonds .is estimated at more than four hun dred millions, consisting of five per cent. notes,,compound interest notes, certificates of indebteaness and certificates of temporary deposit The stock market continues very dull for all kinds of securities. There was some little movement in Government loans, but at lower figures. The ifkils sold down to 107%, a decline of %, and the five-twenties were weak at 105. State and city loans continue inactive. A small lot of war loan sixes sold at 101. New city sixes declined 1 4, selling at 92%; the old were steady at 91. The sales of company bonds were confined to Schuylkill Navigation sixes of '72 at 87, and Camden and Amboy mortgage sixes at 99. In the share list we notice a fur ther decline, excepting for Reading, which closed firm at 8i ; Pennsylvania Railroad was weak at 57, and Camden and Amboy at 129%; Little Schuylkill sold at 30, and Catawissa common at 12%; 55 was bid for Norristown, 55 Minehill, 23% for North Pennsylvania, 45 for Elmira preferred, 24% for Catawissapreferred, 23 for Philadelphia and Erie, and 44 for Northern Central. Bank shares are without any material change. 118 was bid for Farmers' and Mechanics', 48 for Penn Township, 51% for Girard,29%for Manufacturers' and Mechanics', 57 for City, and 56 for Corn Exchange. Passen ger railroad stocks are very dull. A single sale was reported of Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets at 20. The general. market • closed heavy.
