OREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED At Least Twenty-five Thousand People Present ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE ATLANTIC& {Special Despatch to The Press.] NEw YORK, August 14 The second of the home-and-home games be -tween the noted Mutual Ciub and the cham plan Atlantics took place this afternoon, bn the Capitoline ground, at Bedford, Long 'bland, in the presence of an audience num bering at least twenty-five thousand persons. It will be remembered that the Atlantic's won the Brat game a the series on 3(1. instant, at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, N. J.. when only five innings were played, a heavy rain storm putting an end to the play for the day. When the game was called by the umpire the Atlantics were one run ahead, the score stand ing—Atlantics 13, Mutuals 12. The second game, which took place this af ternoon, created the liveliest interest, the ad herents of each club predicting certain vic tory. The Atlantics were sent first to the bat, the result being one run. The Mutuals, in their turn, scored three. In their second in ning, however, the Atlantics added twelve to their score, which advantage they held throughout the g ame, they winning, finally, by a score of forty to twenty-eight, in favor of the Atlantics. Technically speaking, the game was not first-class. Both clubs, at times, played loosely—throwing wildly and missing a number of fly-catches. Tile best of humor characterized the players, and the im mense audience received the announcement of the result with satisfaction. The Atlantics may now consider themselves beyond rivalry for this season, 'finless, indeed, the famed Ath letics of Philadelphia shall wrest the cham pionship from them before the season closes.

Fly Catches. The French Law of Marriage. it contract of marriage extraordinary was lately 'brought under the consideration of the rant Court of Pfrat hiatanee, presided oye,r by M. Benoit Champy. A Count and Countess, Whose names are not given by the legal jour nals which report the case, refused their con sent to the marriage of their daughter Helen with the man of her heart. She thereupon retired to a convent, from which she ad dressed to her parents those Wes respectueux. which by the French code enable persons of full age to marry without the consent of father and mother, which is prima fade necessary. "Thereupon the parents instituted a suit to stop the marriage on the ground that their daughter was insane, and the principal evi dence produce in support of the allegation was that she had signed a contract of marriage in the following form "ova 3.EARRIAON convrnytor. • "Art. I.=Loving each other, and knOWing each other well enough to be certain that one cannot be happy without the other, we join ourselves together to live for ever hereafter as good married people. She will be I and I shall be she, he will be I and I shall be he. " Art. ‘2.—Charles—l promise Helen to de vote all my mind, all my strength and my whole being to the purpose of maintaining her, and the children that she may give me, honestly and decently. "Art. promise Charles to second him in keeping our household from want and difficulty • with that view I shall make eco nomical habits a duty. "Art. 4.—Charles-1 admit that I am some times hasty and violent; I hope to be excused for any sudden burst of anger. "Helen—lt will, perhaps, be hard to endure, but the condition is acceded to. "Art. s.—Helen—l must also be pardoned something, My temper is a little uneven, and am greatly disposed to be jealous. "Charles—l will not mind caprices, if they are not too frequent. As to the other fault, I am disposed to rejoice at it rather than other- Wise, for a jealous person is not likely to give cause for jealousy. "Art. 6.—Charles and Helen—We are per suaded that between lovers disputes and cold. nesses always arise from petty causes. On this account we mutually promise never to follow our own desires in things o small im portance, but always to give way to f each other. " important matters it will be right that Charles should decide, for lie has more knowledge and judgment than I. "Charles—Helen is too modest. I shall never decide anything without consulting her, and either converting her to my views Or adopt ing hers if I think them best. a Art. 7.—As a Consequence of the last pre ceding article, each of Us shall always be dressed according to the taste of the other. "Art. B.—The words 'I expect,' ' I require,' and other similar expressions, are absolutely erased from our dictionary. "Art. :I.—Charles will honor his wife, that stie may be honored by others. He will always exhibit towards her esteem and confidence, and will be especially careful never in her pre sence to allow any advantage over her to any other woman upon any point whatsoever. " Art. 10. We shall ever bear in mind that want of cleanliness and attention to personal appearance must necessarily produce mance and disgust, Neatness is to the hod what amiability is to the souL It is that whiC pleases.

"Art.lB.—Although our mental tenderness is a guarantee that we shall never fail in the engagements hereinbefore set forth, each of us will keep a copy of these presents, and in case of the breach of any article, shall be en titled to lay it before the other party to re mind him or her of the covenants entered into. "Arl.l.l.—lnasmuch as neither will 'have any thing that does not belong to the other, there is no occasion to take any account of the con tribution of each to the common stock.

The corpses are placed in layers in the vaults of churches without a coffin, and when decomposition has performed its work, the remains of the poor are piled together in one corner, and some times walled in ; but those who can afford to have their remains placed in a niche in a special where Part mfeonrtit calledlg timet tt aPl A r ou o s f relies of humanity may be seen by theeurious. It is a large ball on the ground-floor, lighted by a large window like that of an artist's studio. All round there are niches like sentry-boxes let into the wall; they are about six feet high, and the bottom is level with the floor. The Corpses, blackened by decomposition, are frightful to look at; they are kept generally in a standing position by a rope round their necks, and their naked, fleshless feet rest .on the floor; but as they are not uniformly tightened, the attitudes are all different, some leaning forward with their heads outside the niche, as though about to advance into the room. All have a paper label fastened on to their breast, Couched thus: " I am 50-ancl-so ; have a mass said for me, mercy's sake.. In one of the niches is the corpse of a young man in a zouave's uniform; he is fastened round the waist, so that the body is bent in two, the head down and the bands forward, which gives him the appearance of looking for something on the floor. There are also a few, only a very few glass coffins. In one of them is a gentleman wearing a chiinney-pot hat, much too large for what is left of Ins head. A few wooden coffins form a strange contrast with the ghastly exhibitions all around. They 'contain the remains of ladies, this barbarous ort fashion of posh mortsm display stopping sh at the fair sex. Cumous NESTS OF Mte F.—A number Of empty bottles had been stowed away upon a shelf, and among them was found one which was tenanted by a mouse. The little creature had considered that the bottle would afford a suit able home for her young, and had therefore -conveyed into it a quantity of bedding, which she made into a nest. The bottle was filled with the neat, and the eccentric architect had taken the precaution to leave a round hole. -corresponding to the neck of the bottle. In this remarkable domicile the young were placed : and it is a fact worthy of notice, that no attempt had been made to shut out tholight. The rapidity with which a mouse can make a nest is somewhat surprising. One of the Cam bridgejournal mentioned some few years ago, that in a farmer's house a loaf of newly baked bread was placed upon a shelf, according to custom. Next day a hole was observed in the l oa f ; and when it was cut open a mouse and her nest were discovered within, the latter having been made of paper. On examination the material of the habitation was found to lien been obtained from a eopy-book, which bad been torn into shreds and arranged into the form of a nest. Within LI% curious home were nine young mice, pink, transparent, and newly born. Thus, in the space of thirty-eight hours at the most, the loaf must have cooled, the interior been excavated, the copy.bo o k found and cut into suitable lljecesi the nest made, and the young brought into the worid. Surely, it is nO Wender that mice are plentiful. or that their many enemies fail to extertninat them.—Homes without Rows.

Officers were sent in pursuit of one Guy but he, suspecting their intentions, managed to escape to the woods. "Suspicion haunts theuilty mind," and it is evident that Guy bad lieen doing- something wrong, or he would not have fled. The police, however, succeeded in capturing three others, who were locked up for a hearing. It is said that one of these men has a game rooster which be uses to advantage when somethingiS needed for the dinner-pot. The game chicken is carried to a spot convenient to some, barn yard and set down, when be crows defiantly, and soon attracts one of his less plucky fel lows, when a battle ensues, which is ended by the owner of the "game carrying off both the combatants. The gipsies are up to all sorts of roguery, and will not scruple to steal almost anything they can lay their hands on.' Their band will either be driven out of the county, or the principal men will be sent to jail as common vagrants.—PiUsOurg Gazette.- BREAKING A BANK AT BAturet-BAnzti.—On the 12th ultimo • the Trente-et-un Bank at Baden- Baden was broken. In reference to this extra ordinary incident a correspondent of GaHo uma says : " This was one of the most singular occurrences on record at the play-room here. The fortunate winner is a Maltese, a man of exceedingly large fortune, - who, while his piles of napoleons were at stake on the table, preserved the greatest coolness through out. Not a muscle of his face was seen to move when the awful words, La banque a sauté,' were pronounced by one of the managers. The whole event scarcely lasted a Quarter of an hour, from three-quar ters past 9tolo P. M. °neutering the room the slayer )nit a pile of napoleons on the red, and won eight times running. He then put another lot on the couleur, and won fourteen times running, Whiell brought on the eataStro pbe, and finished the night's play. During the Navinae ilia Stake WAS twice in jeopardy, the bank hg made thirty-one Gyres, lint each time he won. At one deal the red, on which he was then laying, got the bad number of nine, and every one thought he must loscothen the hank got 40 ! At another deal the latter had two, and the bystanders then gave up theplay er as lost, but on turning the cards the red, had one ! When the announcement was made that the bank was broken, loud cheers arose from every side, and the uproar was tremendous, the win ner being the only man . present umnoved. On the following day the lucky millionaire dis tributed numerous presents to the amount of several thousand francs in celebration of his victory, which, for the thousandth. time Con firms the old adage, that where is much there will be more,' or, as the French have it, Dam ro loiljours d la riviere." FISH IN THE DEPTHS OP THE EARTH.—The statement has been frequently made, of late years, that with the water thrown up from Many of the artesian wells recently bored by the French in the northern district Of the Sa hara desert, small fish have been ejected from depths of one hundred and fifty to two huh dred feet. This statement, which has been ge nerally discredited, is now, however, proved to be truc—M. Desor, the eminent Swfss natu ralist, who has recently returned from an ex ploration of the northern Sahara, testifying to its authenticity. He states, in a recent letter, that he "found the - fish in the stream leading, from one of the wells at the oasis Ain-Tala, where the fish were observed when the water first rose to the surface. It is impossible that these fish should come from anywhere else than from out of the well, for the water stands in no communication with either basin or Aver. The fish belong to the family of cares, and, if I am not mistaken, to the proper species of Cyprinodon. The most curious thing is that these fish, although coming from the interior of the earth, from a depth of more than 150 feet, have nothing sickly or mis-shapen about them; they are of a most remarkable liveliness, and, what is especially worthy of note, have fine, large, completely healthy eyes. You kdow that 11011 and other aquatic animals which are found in the subterranean ponds of the Addis berg cavern in Styermark, and in the mam moth cavern in Kentucky are all blind. Their ocular organs are stunted, and often nothing is left of the eye but the optic nerve. Some naturalists, therefore, hare tried to classify them as a sPecies of their Own ) While others maintain that every organ deprived of the op portunity to exercise its functions must ne cessarily_aggenerate at last, and become de fective. BM here we have a fish from the in terior of the earth, with perfect eyes. How are we to account for this? I confess that this phe nomenon puzzles me, yet I think I have found the key to the riddle, The subterranean basin, which feedsthe artesian wells, must be of con siderable dimensions, as the water springs up on a space of many square miles, wherever it is bored. Besides these artificial wells, there are ponds in several cases, especially that of Uriana, fed by rich sources, and from which real brooks spread in diretent direc tions. These ponds harbor the same little Cyprinodons which rise in the water of the artesian wells, by which. I conclude that a Sub terranean connection exists between the ponds and the wells. Probably-they visit those ponds periodically, perhaps to spawn; this would explain why their eyes, and their formation in general, show nothing abnormal."—Annuat of Scientific Discovery. 311 , TILTAL• 0, E.

Hors AT ATLANTIC CITY.—On Saturday evening last, the grandest hop of the season took place at Concert Hall.

Jury trials began in this Court yesterday, and, as is always the case during the first day Of a term, the dock was filled with prisoners, who, haying been committed to prison in de fault of bail, have necessarily remained there awaiting trial. PLEAS OP 017ILTE. Charles Harrison pleaded guilty to a charge Of stealing various articles from a hotel in Broad street, and was sentenced to nine months inee county prison. John R. amp pleaded guilty to the larceny of a valise, containing articles valued at tmr teen dollars, and was sentenced to nine months in the county prison. John Bean, upon a plea of guilty •to having committed an assault and battery upon a po lice officer, was sentenced to four months in the county prison. John Davis also pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny, and was sentenced to six months in the county prison. COSTLY ASSAULT AND BATTERY N. S. Dill, master of the bark Eva IL Fisk, was charged with assault and battery upon W. E. Stebbins, a seaman of the vessel. Steb bins Wattled that the vessel having arrived in port, and been safely moored, lie was sent for by the captain to come into the cabin. lie was there told to sign a receipt, already pre pared, in fun for the balance of pay and wages due from the ship. The'amount stated there in was not correct, and he declined to do so. The defendant thereupon said if he did not sign the receipt he (the defendant) would kill him. Stebbins persisting in his refusal to sign the receipt, the defendant seized him by the throat, threw him to the .floor, and beat him until he finally consented to,and did sign the paper. His face, he said, was cut and bloody from the treatment he had received at the hands of the captain. A Custom House officer, in charge of the vessel, teStided that he Was In the cabin both a short time before and a short time after the alleged maim% and that when lie was in on the last occasion lie found the parties occupying the same relative posi tions towards each other as before he left the cabin, and that he saw then no indications, either in the appearance of the parties or the apartment, to indicate that an affray had - co.' CUITCd in the interval of his absence. There was no other testimony, and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Judge Ludlow, in passing sentence, said that the jury evidently thought that there had been an attempt on the part of the defendant to coerce Stebbins into the signing of a re ceipt for a less amount than was really due him. Dill was sentenced to pay a fine of $5O and costs. James rumen and John Johnson (COlOred,) were charged with having stolen, as in the in dictment was set forth, six rounds of sugar, the property of Messrs. EMIT, Nowell, % Har vey. The defendants were stevedores work ing about the, store, and when about leaving' , their dinner-baskets were examined, and found to contain sugar. They did not deny their guilt at the time, and, upon the trial, ealied no witnesses, but their counsel ad dressed the jury at some length, that it had not been proven that the sugar in question was the property of the prosecutors nor in deed that it had been stolen .at all. lie spoke of hogsheads sometimes breaking open in the handling, of sugar spilling in the street, that anybody might pick up, as was common, and nobody ever arrested or accused of stealing. Such might have been the case here, and upon t tl e ere 'e m l- . 1 .1 - s kn a o ii .n oubt r ge ill jTrs? f sgu w ati t where - ways cast it in favor of the defendant, the counsel asked that his clients be acquitted. They were both, however, convicted, and were sentenced each to four months in the county prison, Disonuantv Andrew Donaldson was convicted of keep. ing a disorderly house, in Front street,"near Dock. The house was provenly police offi cers'to have been a resort for low characters, both men and women, and a nuisance to the neighbors. Sentenced to three months in the county prison.
