' ELECTION NOTABILIA.
We have been Trequently requested to
state the difference between the system of
Legislative election here and in England.
To do justice to that subject would require
more than newspaper space. We shall
mention some of the leading points, how
ever, concerning English Parliamentary
elections and their machinery. In the first
place, the cost of polling the votes is borne,
not by the voters, but by the candidates.
That is, the cost of advertising that an
election will be held on such or suck a day •
the nomination of candidates to be made
in one central part of the county, divi
:sion, city, or borough, and the votes to
be polled at certain places, so that the
electors ithall have not far to travel to re
cord their votes. The price of erecting the
hustings and polling places, and the wages
of the clerks who take and register the
votes, are divided among the candidates,
and are payable in advance. When condi
-dates are publicly nominated, which can be
, done hy electors only, it is usual for each of
them to appear on the hustings, wheneach,
in a speech before the people, eclares what
his political opinions are, announces what
course he will pursue in Parliament on cer
tain measures or questions—and, if he seeks
re-election, defends himself against any im
putations which have been cast upon him
for a portion or the whole of his conduct
as a Parliament-man, The Returning-Offi
.eer after all the candidates have spoken
puts the question to the people—
saying that such and such persons
have been proposed to be, elected, and
then what is called "a show of hands"
is taken ; that is, on each candidate being
named, those in his favor hold up their
hands, and the returning-officer, (who is
the High Sherif in counties and the Chief
Magistrate in horoughs,) then declares
that such and such persons have a show of
hands in their favor, on which, on behalf
of the other candidates, a poll is demanded,
which, almost invariably takes place OA
the day next following, legally commencing
at 8 A. M., and closing at 4 P.M., and lasts
one day. If there be no opposition, the
candidate is then and there declared to be
duly elected, and the returning-officer
signs the Writ of Election, witnessed by
a few of the electors, which is to be re
turned to the Clerk of Parliament at an
appointed - time.
It frequently happens that the eaudidate
in whose favor the "show of hands" has
taken place is not the successful man, for
none but registered electors, (about one in
seven of the grown male population,) have
a right to vote, and, on the show of hands,
every one in the crowd, elector or non
eleetor, usually joins in the demonstration.
All through the day of polling, the Commit
tees of each candidate issue statements of
the gross number of votes given, and when
the books are closed, at 4 P. M., the result
of the election is known. Next day,
usually at noon, the Returning officer,
who has carefully gone over and
counted the votes, officially declares how
many each candidate has received, and
- those who have got the greatest number are
pronounced " duly elected." In counties,
the custom is, when this is done, to fasten
a belt with a sword appended to it round
the waist of each winning man. At the
- Oxfordshire election last month, when this
was attempted to be done in the case of
who was re-elected, it was found
impossible to make the holed leather of the
belt run into the buckle, for, though he had
managed it six years before, he had become
so obese that it was impracticable now, and
—awful omen, for the man had been a
Cabinet Minister, and may be again=the
belt had to be lengthened by a bit of red
tape!
A county member is thus tied to a sword
because he is held to be a " Knight of the
Shire," but no such ceremonial takes place
-on the induction of a city or borough mem
ber, who is held to be a ctlizen or a burgag.
The House of Commons, in the Queen's
proclamations proroguing or assembling
Parliament, is addressed as "The Knights,
Citizens, and Burgesses, and the Commis
sioners for Shires and Burghs'' (the forty.
five Scotch members) " of the House of
-Commons." It is not requisite, as a qualifi
teflon for said House, that the member
shall reside within the district which he re
presents, nor, even that he shall himself
have a vote in any place. Until the year
1774, it was otherwise; a county member
was then required to be a county elector,
and a " citizen " or "burgess," to have a
vote in the city or town he repre
_serried. No alien can sit in Parlia
ment, nor any foreigner, though he be
naturalized or made a denizen, except such
as are born of British parents. Whether a
British subject, after being naturalized else
where, is eligible to a seat in Parliament,
has never been decided ; but there was
tlected, in 1859, as member for Dartmouth,
Mr. E. W. H, SCHENLEY, formerly a Bri
tish army officer, who had resided for a
long time in Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania,
where it was said and is believed, he had
been duly naturalized a citizen of the
United States. Perhaps this circumstance
was not known in England. If it had been,
assuredly he;wouldhave heard of it at the
hustings, (for he won his election, after a
sharp contest, by a small, majority,) or
after he had taken his seat: Minors, can
neither sit in Parlament nor vote at elec
tions—yet CHARLES JAMES Fox was re
turned for Midhurst, when he was nine
teen years and four months old, and sat
and spoke before he was of age.
No payment whatever, whether of salary
;aileage, can be received for his services
in Parliament by a member of either House.
It is considered that the honor is its own
sufficient reward. Yet being in Parliament
is sometimes a heavy tax upon a member.
It -is not much felt when he is a man of
station, or property, whose positiOn and
means would usually make him live in
London. for several months in each year,.
hut when the Parliamentary seat takes a
man away from his proper locality and
business six months in each year, and corn
pels him to reside in London all that time,
it is a burthen. In former times, Members
of Parliament received regular wages. In
the time of EDWARD 111., four shillings a
day were allowed to a Knight of the
:Shire, and two shillings to a citizen
or burgess (respectively 's6 and $3 of
present value,) but, in the ease of poor and
.small communities, this charge was too
great an evil to be compensated by the pos
sible benefit of representation, and the
Crown has frequently been petitioned to
tease sending writs of election to such com
munities. The payment of wages was part
of the system on which the National A :4 _
.sembly of France was based in 1848, and
has long formed one of "the five points of
the Charter" in England.
Mental imbecility disqualifies a voter, as
- well as a member. No sheriff or any
other returning officer is eligible for election
in his OWn official locality. A man who
resides in the extreme north of Scotland,
may be elected for a county or town ID the
extreme south of England. No one in holy
orders, (that is, a clergyman of the Chiirch
.of England, or of the Church of Rome, or a
minister of the Church of Bcotlaiatl,)
can be a member of Parliament.. QoV
•ernment contraCterer4sivaie
bankrupts, and- attainle ri a::Pei.sOits, are
-also ineligible. A. member who ac
cepts office, thereby
„vacates hisrecatt but
as eligible for re-election: 1514,-.;Wialla..
ministration, for the time being, are in p ar ,
liament—some as Peers, the others by elec
tion, in. the Commons. Officers of the army
and navy are eligible to sit in P arliament,
anddo n ot vacate their seats when ithey
sin a step in rank by regular promotion.
in the new Parliament, there are over one
hundred and fifty officers in the navy, army,
militia, and volunteers. Formerly no man
could sit in the House of ,Cp.punons,until
he had given prdbf that,, if a countrymem
ber, he had $2,000 a year, and half that pro
perty of a borough member. Yet many
men who had not this amount of property
did sit in Parliament. Some wealthy per
son gave the candidate a rent charge on his
property, and this was held by the grantor's
attorney, so that the grantee, if disposed to
be dishonest, could not avail himself of the
legal document. This "property qualifica
tion," which has been required for members
sitting for places in England and Ireland,
(but not in Scotland,) was abolished in
1858. It had been imposed in the reign of
Queen AIME.
It was stated yesterday by a morning
contemporary, (who has successively af
firmed that Lord Bnouonam was guiltily
mixed up in the Westbury corruption scan
dal ; that Mr. DISRAELI was "a born
Jew," whereas, even his grandsire was a
Christian, fully a century ago; and that
CONSTANCE KENT, the child-murderer, is
first cousin to Queen VICTORIA !) that, at
English elections, " the polls are open
regularly for three days, sometimes for face."
This is as correct as the other statements
by the same high authority. The Reforie
Bill of 1832 limited county elections to
polling on two successive days, and borough
polling to one day. But, by 16 Viet., e. 15,
s. 28, the polling at county elections in Eng
land and Wales and Scotland was reduced
to one day. At the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge the poll at a contested elec
tion is kept open for five days, because the
voters had. to come from distant parts of
the country. By a recent law, electors not
residing in the University may vote by
sending a notice to the Returning Officer
of the person whom they desire to have
elected. This new system was first brought
into operation at the recent contest at Ox
ford, wherein Mr. GLADSTONE was defeat
ed, and has worked so well that it is pro
bable the time of taking the poll at the two
Universities will be reduced. It is a pecu
liarity that, for any candidate to address
the University voters, in writing or orally,
would be held as a great breach of etiquette.
He is proposed and voted for, apparently
without himself being conscious of the fact.
From these general statements some idea
of the difference between the American and
the British elective system may be obtain
ed. We may add, as asircumstance which
could not happen here, that, on several oc
casions, men have been accidentally put
into Parliament. Last month one Mr.
REARDON, a Connaught man, who keeps a
provision shop in London, stopped a night
at Athlone, on hi 4 way to Galway ; made
himself very friendly with the " boys" in
that borough, who were dissatisfied with
their late member ; treated them all
round to drink, and talked politics be
tween each tumbler of punch; was waked
up early in the morning and invited to go
on the hustings to witness the nomination ;
heard the late member proposed for re-elec
tion, and two of his own new acquaintances
propose "Patrick Reardon, Esq.;” replied
in a slashing manner to the rival candidate's
keble speech ; received the greatest "show
of hands ; 1 ' and, his opponent having re
tired in disgust, was duly declared mem
her for the ancient borough of Athlone, as
much to his own surprise as satisfaction.

THE CONVENTION IN MISSISSIPPI.
The first convention of the disloyal States
to devise a practical plan for political reorgan
ization 7 assembled under the call of Govern.or
SHARKEY, at Mi ss i ssipp i , on Mon
) Jackson,
day last. Its proceedings Will attract con
siderable interest, from the indications they
•
will afford of the spirit of the South. The
Claraon, a journal published at Meridian,
.
Mississippi spoke thus of the feeling manl
y
fested in advance of the meeting of the con
vention
it 'will be the first state Convention to
meet, and it is reasonable to suppose that its
proceedingsm
w--, to some extent, influence
those of the other States in the rwork of recut
ganizatiOn. it becomes us, thOn, to consider
what are the measures ; most essential to, be
adopted to restore Mississippi to the Federal
'Union, and if possible, place the country again
under the protection of civil law. First among
the important questions that will arise is, that
of slavery.. However reluctant we may_ be to
yield our right to sieves as property however
much we mayprefer gradual emancipation
and compensation for the value of negroes to
immediate abolition,_ still we had supposed
there 'were none who could disguise from
themselves the fact that the freedom of the
negro is already beyond cavil, and that no act
of ours can change his destiny.
We hear of candidates for the. Convention who
talk of either ignoring this question or protesting
against emancipation, and demanding amapensa4.
Lion from the Federal' Government for this species
of property. Such a course, however proper. it
might be under other circumstances, at the
present would inevitably result in the proltmget..
lion of military rule in the South and very proba
hhaend to ffiereorgonization of zne Statea on the
basis of negro suffrage.
Does it not occur to these gentlemen that
slavery is already abolished, not only by the
proclamation of the President and the acts of
- congress, but by the defeat of our armies, by
the complete blotting out of the Southern
Confederacy, by the military oentmatiOn of
the country, and, finally, by ourselves in as
cepting the terms of the amnesty procla
mation, and qualifying ourselves as voters
under its provisions ? it is no - longer an open
question. It is useless to inquire now whether
the means used to accomplish this end were
constitutional or not. We do not believe that
wars are often conducted under constitutional
restraints. Men are killed, houses burned,
property of every description destroyed with
out trial by jury, or without legal right.
It appears to us to be the duty of the Con
vention to recognize the situation, and at
once change the constitution to harmonize
with the new order of things. Declare that
slavery shall no longer exist in Mississippi,
and let it be done in good faith, without pro.
test or remonstrance.
The Mobile (Ala.) Tribune, in discussing
the same subject, says :
Suppose that the Convention of Mississippi
puts that State at once ea rapport with the
Central Government; and suppose the CM
vaunt:a of Alabama should do exactly other
wise; ors reverse the case, and suppose Ala
bama should be wise' and Mississippi unwise,
what will be the result? Why, if it be our fate
to be unwise, we shall have a free State by our
side, whilst we Shall yet our laws from Waihing
ton, and not get them with good temper'; for we
shalLbe supposed to be insubordinate, and shalt
have military forces watching us and controlling
us, and be, in sonic sort, as though we were in a
territorial condition. The result will be that
Mississippi will make some progress toward
prosperity, whilst we shall be very nearly
- where we are now, and have, finally,. to yield,
and start just froth the point where Mississippi
started.
_
There are many good men who recognize the
Present status. They have no hope of anything
like the independence of the 'South. They are
convinced that that is an Eutopian idea. They I
give up slavery as a something which is only
now historical in this country. They assent,
in short, to the necessity that is on them to go
to work anew, anti gather from the debris of
the war what will reconstruct and make pros
perous these States; but they have been so
long accustomed to govern themselves that
they cannot—now that they are ready to be
placed in harmony with the Federal Union—
understand why they cannot start immedi
ately in their new career exactly from the
point which they occupied when the war be
gan. They chafe under this condition, and are
disposed to sit still and do nothing because
they cannot do exactly as they please.
Well, let us tell them that these States have
been overpowered and that they are under
military rule, mild as it may he. They are
subject to the powers at Washington, which
have the etordthEtild of the military and may
force them to such terms as may be - requisite
for the policy whichkas been or may be de
termined on. Is this"' not naturali tut are
there any developments from the President
that imply that anything more is needed for,
our restoration to civil rights, than to keep
our Constitutions as they are, except as
changes may be necessary to reconcile them
with the abolition of slavery? We think not.
At least, we can see nothing yet which amounts
to more than a suspicion.
What, then is the duty of all the citizens of •
these States 7 'Why, to regain immediately their
civil rights ; and in order to do that, it is abso
thtely incumbent on them to fit themselves
for what this pre-assumes. That is, they owe
to themselves, their children, and their pot- -
terity the duty of accepting the amnesty of
the. President's proclamation, so that they
may take part in the government of their
States. This is an imperative duty, and these
who do not perform it, it seems to us, are
wrapping themselves up in a garb of egotism
which betrays only selfishness, Or an opinion
ativeness which is not ready to Saerifice a sen
timent for the certainty Of a positive and real
good. • -
These extracts serve to illustrate at once
the dangers to be apprehended, and the
powerful check which the United States
Government possesses upon rebellious dis
tricts. The importance of regaining their
old position in the Union is universally
conceded; and whil e harsh and unneces
sary conditions would, perhaps, only alien.
ate the friendship of those who honestly
desire to become loyal citizens in futuin it
is evident that we have now the power to
secure an abrogation of all vestiges of sla
very, and that justice and sound policy de
mand that we should improve the present
opportunity. Under any circumstances, it
is a delicate task to incorporate conquered
districts into the very heart of the conquer
ing people, and the difficulties involved in
this attempt are intensified by. the /Lines
tions arising out of Emancipation. But if
the latter are adjusted in a satisfaetory
manner ' we can afford to trust to the Ame
rican faculty of.absOrption and asisinti
lation as a safeguard against 411 other pe
rils.
TIIE I,II,ESP.v
ovresnw. OFThak.ABOVW.EB
AME:
There was Some dikussion, not .ver s t
ong ago, on what;was !called "the Ar
guelles Case," and blame Wait •attempted to
be oast, by Copperhead journalists, upon
Mr. SEWARD'S action in the affair. The
almost universal opinion was that, in act
ing.on " the higher law" of humanity and
justice, though there was no extradition
treaty between Spain and the United State's,
Mr. 'SEWARD had done what was right. In
the London Athewsum of July 29th, we
find the English view of the case and, the
verdict upon the facts. One of the Blue
Boas of the last session, presented to both
Houses of Parliament by command of
Queen VICTORIA, contains " CorrespOn
deuce with British Ministers and Agents
in Foreign Countries, and with Fbreign Min
isters in England, relating to the Slave Trade,
from January Ito December 31, 1864." It
is reviewed by the Athencston, a critical
journal never over and above friendly to
this country, and, as the article is not un
suitably long, we shall here quote the
whole of it. The Athenteum says :
"Some of these papers relate to the remark-
able case of Colonel de Arguelles, and throw
light on corrupt practices which have long
made the Cuban Government odious to the
enemies of slavery. In the November of 1888,
Don Jose Augustin Arguelles, Lieutenant Go
vernor of the district of Colon, in the island
Of Cuba acting under the instructions of Gen.
Dulce, the Captain General of Cuba, Captured
a large cargo of African, negroes that bad been
landed on the island by a notorious slaver. In
return for this service the Cuban Government.
paid Colonel Arguelles fifteen thousand doV
lars as his share of the prize-money, and
warmly commended his vigilance and success.
Soon, however it was asserted that, instead'of
rendering to tie supreme authority in Cuba e,
faithful account Of the number of negreep tap
tured, Arguelles and his subordinates made a
false return, and kept back one hundred and
forty-one negroes; of whom some were sold for
seven hundred dollars and others for seven
hundred and fifty dollars each. Finding that
there was a stir against him; and fearing the
result of a legal investigation, Arguelles with
drew from Cuba and went to New - York,where,
instead of keeping quiet,he published astdund
ing accusations against Gen. Dulce. Powerful
New York Journals took up his cause, and the
'Spanish Colonel figured for a brief day as a
chivalric soldier who had escaped the infamous
persecutions of General Dulce and a clique of
uriated Slave-traders. Publicly Colo g nes Ar-
Mlles Charged his superior with corrupt Con
nivance at the slave-trade and grosS.Maiversa.
tions in his government. Re represented that
the charge from which he had fled was an ut
terly false accusation, trumped up by Cuban
slave-dealers, furious at the blow which he
had given them, and by General ',nice, who
was to have participated in the sale of the in
tercepted blacks. But no sooner had Arguels
les uttered these and other brave words, under
the impression that he was beyond the reach
of his enemy's grip, than the exasperated
Captain General represented to the United
States Government what a scoundrel they
were harboring in the person of their guest
from Colon district, Cuba, and implored them
to send him back to the ieland—as hie presence
was necessary to secure the liberation of some
one hundred and forty-one slaves. Spain and
the United States have no extradition treaty;
and consequently the United States were not
bound to surrender the fugitive. On the other
hand, having examined the facts of the case L
and satisile himself of the truthfulness of
General Dulce's representations, Mr. Seward
did not think it right to shield from , pun
ishment on atrocious criminal. Arguelles
was therefore delivered up to the Cuban
authorities, and, on being tried and found
guilty of the charge originally preferred
against him, was condemned to the chain
gang. Gen..Duicos enemies'and those who
are inclined to think ill of Mr. Lincoln's go
vernment, maintain that Arguelles was really
innocent, and exclaim against the perfidy of
the Minister who violated - the right of asylum
and surrendered a political refugee. It is fair
to presume that before Mr. Se*rd decided to
remit the Lieutenant Governor to the island,
under such peculiar circumstances, he had
sati*ed himself of theftwitives gulls, and thcet for
the sake of the one hundred and forty-One fives he
ought to strain a point to aid General Dales. On
the passage back to Cuba, Colonel Arguelles
wrote to the Captain General,not merely with
drawingthis charges, but avowing their false
hood in the most distinct terms. ' I now sol
emnly and entirely deny all that I published
on the lathe are words that occur in this re
cantation. •,A.9 an illustration of the dishonor
possible amongst Spanish officials the story is
equally good; whether Arguelles be taken for
the victim of unscrupulous enemies or as a
Culprit who richly deserves his fate."
We were not aware that ARGUELLES ; en
route back to Cuba, had withdrawn all his
charges against General Dtmcn. He is a
great scoundrel, 'undoubtedly, and Mr.
SEWARD did his duty, as an official as well
as a Christian, in sending him back . to be
tried for his . crimes in a court of law.
ME-BIC-U3SERATOICS appointed to
,aseer
tain the population of New York have not
quite completed their labors. Four:hun
dred and thirty returns have been made,
giving a population of 1301,021. 'Sixty-nine
additional returns are required, and, by the
estimates of the Tribune, these will make the
aggregate 718,000. This is the probable real
result of the investigation heralded in ad-.
Vance as sure to prove the population of
New York to exceed 1,000,000 ! The World
bitterly denounces the State census as a
fraud, to diminish the political representa
tion of the metropolis, and enters into an
elaborate disenssiort to prove that it cannot
be correcti; It confesses, however, that thd
population of some of the down-town wards
has slightly decreased since 1860, and it
probably fails to make due allowance for the
emigration caused by high rents, unhealthy
residences, and the discomforts of New
York life. It proclaims, in glaring•cipitals,
that "New York city is not led by a big
Pennsylvania village ;'" but the inexorable
figures, nevertheless, point to the conclu
sion that Philadelphia possesses more actual
residents than its bloated neighbor. The
fact that the official State census of 1865 re
ports a smaller population by 100,000 than
that ascertained by the United States census
of 1860 is peculiarly annoying to our sensi
tive cotemporary. It certainly shows fraud
then or now, or that the population of New
York is rapidly declining.
Teachers! National ponivention.
This body will assemble in the Hall of the
House. of 'hlepresentatives on Wednesday of
this week. It is expected that the attendance
will be large, embracing some four or five
hundred of the most prominent friends of
education in the country, such as State and
county superintendent%principals of col
leges and high schools, and delegates ap
pointed by the various State and district as
sociations, besides officials of various grades.
Among other eminent men who will be pre
sent, we notice the names of Governor Andrew
and Professor Lowell Mason, of. Massachu
setts, who will participate in the exercises of
the Convention. On Mr9ClaY the whole
body will make an excursion to Gettysburg,
for the purpose of viewing the famous battle
ground, the National Cemetery,and other
points of interest. The approaching Conven
tion will be one of the most interesting ever,
held, and we bespeak for it a liberal atten
dance on the part of our citizens.
Our citizens have been addressed_ upon the
subject of the approaching National Conven
tion of Teachers. Hospitality has been in
voked in behalf of the strangers who are ex
pected to be in attendance upon the Conven
tion. On inquiry, we are sorry to say that the.
offers of entertainment fall very far below the
requirements. We are not going to mention
how very few have thus far extended their
hospitalities, but unless a more general re
sponse is given to the repeated requests al.
ready made, we fear for the good name of our
city. If families cannot conveniently accom
modate these delegates in their own homes,
arrangements could readily be made with
hotels and boarding-houses at reduced prices,
and in this waydegree of hospitality would.
be reached, as satisfactory, perhaps, as by any
any other method. The members , who !will
constitute the • approaching Convention; are
coming from every section of the Union. They
are not inferior in any respect to any body of
men who have ever assembled in our city.
The advantages to result from this assem
blage is less their own gain than the public
gain, and for this and other evident considera
tions, the citizens are once more appealed to.
Mr. Samuel D. Ingram will be glad to furnish
any information, or receive any oilers of wel

on,this portion of the route. TWO plain Church

no steam-fire engines in those ?'days, arid, the

Some time, fell with a great crash, carrying
with it a portion of the main building. The
present building has no steeple. •
In a short time the car reaches a :structure
known as the '
HIGH BIIIDGE,
which spans Cohocksink creek, at Beach
street, and over which the line of travel is
continued. This - bridge, for many years, in
times long ago, was the only perManent struc
ture by which the stream could be readily
crossed. This immediate neighborhood is ap
propriated to coal-yards, lumber-yards, im
mense mills, iron foundries, boiler-making
establiehments,and machinery generally. The
many forges all around, belch forth their fire
and smoke like so many volcanoes, and the
busy intonations of iron-clad industry give
unmistakable notice that Vulcan is here in
all his glory. Why, this bridge IS called high
is a matter of conjecture. Its archway is sigh
enough to admit an 'ordinary--caned boat to
pass through, but the bridge itself is a low
structure, even with the grade of the street.
In this immediate neighborhoodthere is much
to disgust the finer feelings of sensibility.
The buildings mostly are dilapidated fraines,
and nearly all of them are used as low grog
genies, where whisky -like that of Bedford
street, in the Fourth ward, is dealt to bleared
eyed humanity. Such places as these are not
without interest. They form the dark shades
of the picture, by which we Can - the more Pr
operly estimate the beauty Of the sunlight

In a short time the car passes by what is com
monly known as "Fly Market Square," or
"Treaty Square." It is in the form of a trian.
gle, with the corners , minded, and was Once
the site of the old fly market; where fish. was
mostly sold. The market place was torn down
a few years since. It never had a respectable
reputation. It was known to have vaults be
neath, and anxious parents residing in the'
neighborhood, in order to keep their children
in the house after nightfall, used to tell them
the most marvellous ghost stories-110W, lit
tle boys and little girls were eatight bygolrins
and stowed away in the vaults. Thesewere the
impressions made upon the minds of children
generally in that section, and as they grew
older these stories became so strongly fixed in
their minds that he'll-grown boys and girls
were absolUtely, afraid to go past the place.
Indeed, 'we have heard of instances of girls re
fesirig,to go there even in the day-time, bp- .
cause of the terrible - stories that have been
impressed indelibly' on their minds in more
tender years. For this the parents, of course,
were to blame ;'it is ne palliation to attribute.:
it to their ignorance. The old ay market wee:
one of the institutions of old „Kensington, and,
notwithstanding its repulsive character, con
nections, or surroundings, there were many
sorrowful oeuntenanoes that witnessed its de
strUetion. The car passes around the enclo

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN KENSINGTON CHURCH,
A most beautiful structure, Its front. Is adorn
ed with an immense tower, that may be con
sidered very ornamental. It springs high into
the air, and may be seen at a great' distance.
The Rev. Mr. Chandler was pastor of the 'con
gregation that worship in this handsome
temple. lie died several years since, and a
splendid, white polished marble laimunient,
almost in front of the building, marks the spot
where his remains repose in. the 'sleep that

parks are laid out in the centre of the avenue
to the extent of nearly three-fourths o f a
mile. These parks were, probably, originally
designed as so many sites for market-hOnses.
It is not likely they will ever be put to such
use. These parks might be made beautiful
garden spots, without mach trouble or ex

turns down Norris street, and crosses a bridge
on Gunner's Run, and turns up Richmond

tracks stretch across from west to east, and
long trains of cars, loaded with black dia

thinly settled in this section. Many landscape

dousavilfidle or forgery, till they are treated
to tmoiher eqlkArfitupendous. Nye alluded,
yesterday, to theireports current, late in W..
afternoon, on, TWO.' street, that further extem
sive frauds had been discovered in New york
city, and to the ruinous effect of these rumors
upon.the stock and money markets. The de
tails.of ,the lateet criminal effort in the finan
cial line are given in yesterday's New York
journals. A gold broker, named P. R. Mum
ford, 'was reported, on Saturday last, to be " in
ditlimilty," and was unable to make good his
checks upon bank. On Monday he acknow
ledged his failure, but refused, says the 2/mes,
under legal counsel, to answer particular in
quiries as to how he disposed pf about
$130,000 in gold, delivered to him early on
Saturday, and not paid for. The losers by
his default are six or seven in number, to the
amount of from $lO,OOO to $30,000 each. Scarcely
one of theni knew much about his standing or
responsibility, yet delivered their gold, In
good faith, on his simple cheeks upon the
bank, without certification. The deliveries
thus made on Saturday were altogether $170,-
000. One party was fortunate enough to have
his cheek fOr the proceeds of $lO,OOO certified
just before the close of bank hours. Two
others demanded back their gold, and received
it from the clerk of Mumford, to the amount
of $30,000. Further .developments will probably
transpire through some legal investigation of
the affair.•
One or more of the vietims to t#e foregoing
fraud have attempted-to-stop payment at the
Bank of New York, the common depository of
the bullion brokers and gold speculators, of
the certified gold cheeks delivered to Mum
ford on Saturday, but this, it is thought, will
not save their loss. The checks are a direct
obligation of the bank to pay the gold Which
they call. for, on proper endorsement. They
are a negotiable instrument, and cannot be ar
rested in the.hands of a third innocent partil
who makes proof that he paid value for them.
The Times says that the Bank of New York will
regard no caveat of the sort, except so far as to
report, bit whom the gold is demanded, and" iv .. _
who& paid on proper endorses:neut. It" is
probable that the attempt td stop the 'pay
ment& these cheeks IS based upon 'a
rumor
thataltunford, who acknowledges to' heavy
losses on the'itreet, had fraudttlently assigned
'or paid over the gold to sonic confidential
credit'or, or over,
trustee of certain funds upon
which he wile doing business, and the return
of which was inddenly demanded of hint last
week.
The Diumfoid fraud has not more suddenly
follOWed the Jenkins robbery of the Phenix
Bank, than We have a third atupendeini de
velopment in the nature of forgery of .gold
checks on the Bank of New York, not only of
the signatures of the three or four brokers
who keep their gold accounts with the bank,
but of the certificates of the bank itself. The
amount in the aggregate is yet to be traced
out. Rumor may possibly' greatly exaggerate
the sum to $200,000, but the uneasiness of the
gold brokers and banks and private bankerS
who have advanced on Bank of New York
gold checks, is increased by the circumstance
that in the cases of Jenkins and of Muniford,
the fast reports were below the real facts as
subsequently brought to light.
The arrangement with the Bank of New
York was made, some six months ago, ata cost
to each of the firms keeping their gold ac
t:. avoid the robbery of
counts with the bank,
gold bags on the street, and various frauds in
the counting of these bags and their contents;
all;ef, which had occurred in the speculative
excitement and enormous transactions of 1831.
It now transpires that the new arrangeinent
:is liable to the more dangerous contingency of
forgery, besides having contributed, in vari
ens Ways, a more ready . facility to the gam
bling and cornering operations of the Gold
Reim in time of peace than the exclusive ern
ploy-went of gold, in bags, afforded in seasons
of war.
