gly Vttss. FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1865 THE TRIAL OF DAVIS. The London Times' Correspondent's Estimale Of Northern Feeling—An Im partial and Temperate 'View of the An American correspondent of the London Times sends the following observations on the approaching trial of Jed' Davis to that jour nal' AS the time of Mr. Davis' trial draws nearer, the interest which is felt in its result in creases. It was thought that by _postponing the event public opinion in the North would Soften towards Davis, but :there is no indica tion of such a change; on the contrary, Mr euMstanees are always occurring which strengthen the general desire to see the heavi est Of punishments fall upon his head. Nee thing will satisfy a very large portion of the people hut Mr. Davis , life. Even the most moderate men express a feeling of anxiety lest the Government should be contented with his banishment. This eager craving for vengeance on an individual, notWithStandiug the awful visitation which hag fallen upon the entire. South, and which might seem enough to ap pease the demands of the most vindictive, may appear very i reprehensible to people in Eng land, but it s not so unreasonable as it looks at a distance. Not only can it be explained, but justi fied ; U dOes notarise from party passion, but from the remembrance of deeds which are more horrible than the English public can have any idea of, and it is constandyfed by new proofs of barbarity per petrated upon Federal prisoners. If there is any bitterness entertained by the Northern peo hle toward the South—and very rarely indeed ave I seen evidences of it—it springs from the same cause which inaleeg them talk Of Davis as of a being scarcely human. That Rause is the incredible and infamous treatment which the Northern captured soldiers received in Southern prisons. The evidence upon which the charges of cruelty rest is overwhelming and unanswerable. A Sanitary Commission was appointed by the EGOeernment toinqutre into the circumstances, and the members of it examined a great many men who had been prisoners in the South, some of whom were at death's door when they told their story. The testimony has been pub lished by official sanction, and photographs of a few of the prisoners are erehxed to the narra tive. Photographs do not lie, and these pic tures of living Skeletons, covered with hor rible sores and wounds, speak foe themselves. But still more painfuewitnesses against the prisons of the South are to be met with in al most every village, in the presence of poor young fellows who have returned in a state of adioey, or paralyzed or eaten up with scurvy. A wretched object was pointed out to me the either day. There were still the traces of a robust and strong man about Min, but he wax physically a wreck, and his mind was utterly gone. When it is considered that at Anderson rille, the Confederates put the Northern pri .soners on a piece of land without even a tent to cover them, that atropical sun beat down upon their headS, and that they had not food enough given them to keep a dog alive, it cannot cause surprise that mind and-body alike broke down. It is a fact, and an awful one to realize, that around that prison-field of And ersonville fifteen thousand Northern soldier?, taken cap tive, lie buried. Fever and starvation laid them all low. Is the regular prisons, where at least shelter from heat- or cold was provided, the men were hudilted together so that it was almost impossible to breathe in the rooms. When they went to the windows to get a little fresh air, they were shot down from outside by the sentinels. This crime is proved to have been committed in scores of cases. The evi -deuce, as I have said, is before the world ; the Southern leaders do not attempt to contradict it. They only say they did as well as they Could, and all one's wishes and hopes would lead one to believe them. But here again, unfortunate ly, the evidence is too strong in disproof of their words. At Libby, Close to Davis' house . , the prisoners were literally starving. Their friends in the North heard of this, and sent them boxes of provisions. These boxes were stored is sheds directly in front of the prison, so that the men could see them from their windows, but the authorities refused to disturb them, The prisoners died from hunger in the sight of plenty. The Southern defence is that this was a retaliatory measure, used because there bad been a complaint about the treatment of Southern men in the North. But it is prot , ed beyond all doubt—and every Con federate soldier, private or ofileer, who iS questioned on the subject admits it—that in the Northern prisons no distinction whatever was made between Federal and Confederate • both were carefully looked after, and always ha d proper clothing and food. * * * * * It is veilly easy for you Englishmen to talk about mercy- and forgiveness," eeid a lady talking of this subject, "but how would yea have felt toward the Russians if they, had starved and murdered fifteen thousand of Sour soldiers in one prison ? It is this feel mg. which extends through every class of society in the North. To condemn it with out we - lE'llln- the circumStaTlCAS which pro ciuee it, is t o less than justice to a people who are ready to shake hands with every Southern man, and to help him with money, provided he was not a leader among mem. As a body the Northern people are impatient to be friends with the" South. It is only against the leaders that they bear animosity, and it is chiefly concentrated upon the head of Davis ; for lie lived within a stone's throw of Libby Prison, whence the corpses Of starved men were daily carried out in large numbers. It may be asked," Did Da vis and Lee know of the manner in. which Southern prisoners were treated'!" The North believe they did, and, therefore, as I have said, the cry for their lives, flowerer repulsive it 'May sound, is not a cry raised without provo cation. It is net the wild Wapner of a mob ; and it is so far deep and general that Ibelieve the Government will have to resist the whole force of public opinion in the North if Mr. Davis is to save his life. "If," says a writer who truly reflects the views of the people on this subject, "Ge neral Lee had been determined not to have prisoners starred or abusedl does any one doubt that lie could have prevented these things? Nobody doubts it.s And so of Davis : "The chief of a so-called Confederacy, who would calmly consider among his official docu ments incendiary plots for the secret destrnc. Don of ships, hot els, and cities full of peaceable people, is a Chief well worthy ,to preside over such cruelties 5 but his only j net title is. Pre sident of Assassins, and the whole civilized world should make common cause against such a miscreant." I do not know whether this argument and this langua ge will be deem ed conclusive or satisfactory in England ; - they are certainly held to be so here, and, after all„ it is in America that Mr. Davis is to be tried. Ills friends might see a worse fate befall him than his death in Fortress Monroe. STATE ITEMS. —The Harriablirg nlegraple of Wednesday evening says : "Last night, when the Eric Express train from Philadelphia was about twelve miles this side of that city, on the Penn sylvania itailroad,the coupling broke,leaving part of the train a considerable distance be hind the engine and baggage-cars.. - Upon dis covering the state of affairs, the engineer re versed his engine, and, with the cars attached thereto, ran back for the missing portion of the train. Unfortunately, the latter came down a heavy grade at full speed, and a colli sion with the two portions of the train occur red. One man was instantly killed, and an other bad both legs broken. The accident de 'Wined tiAt o train several ham, and it did not reach this city until late this forenoon. The unfortunate men were soldiers of the sth Penn sylvania Cavalry. We did not learn their names.,, About six hundred men, the remainder of the NI Provisional Cavalry, composed of the Ist, 6th, and 17th Pennuylvania cavalry regi ments, arrived in Harrisburg on Wednesday morning. They were mustered out in Louis Tulle, Hy., and will be paid off and discharged in Harrisburg.

She . was present at Yorktown, Virginia, when Cornwallis surrendered his army, and used to relate with peculiar pleasure many incidents connected with that memo rable event. A son, ninety years of age, at tended the funeral of his venerable mother. This old negro man resides at Petersburg, and, apparently, bids fair to attain even a greater age than his mother. It is well for managers to append to their theatrical programmes the following unique notice, Which ought to prove effective : " Ser vants and country people who are obliged to be at home before the close of the last act are requested to leave as quietly as possible dur ing the intermission, so us not to annoy ladies and gentlemen who desire to witness the close of the performance." The llaeine AM:Ocala says that a &ruler of G erman origin, in Caledonia, Racine county, having a son some ten or twelve years of age, who was unruly, locked him in his barn and kept him without food for three days. On Sunday last, the neighbors liberated the boy, and expostulated with the'father, who Coolly .said, " That's how I breaks him." One lady on the grand stand at the Sara toga races, told a newspaper correspondent that she had ik2d,ooo worth of diamonds in,her . hair; that she felt perfectly "safe,' , ' as no pickpockets were admitted Within the gates, and her husband had put a polieenian behind her with nothing else to do but see that ker diamond head suffered no violation. —An invention is being introduced in New "York designed to make the starting of loaded street catalpa easy matter for the horses. It is described as eOnsisting in the application of a lever, pawl, and racket, in combination with the draught rod, or its equivalent, to the axle of a vehicle, in such a manner as to save one half the power now used in starting.

A French paper relates that a boy twelVd years of age, named Durand, having climbed a tree to take a bird's nest built in a hole of the trunk, bad just inserted his hand to reach it, when the branch on which be stood broke, and being unable to withdraw his hand, here- mained suspended by it. In this predicament, seeing no help near, he drew a pruning-knife from _his pocket and cut off his hand at the wrist. Having fallen at the foot of the tree without further injury, he walked home, - whence ; after a first dreSSillg had been ap plied, he was conveyed to the hospital at Grenoble. Among modern curiosities of English lite rature is mentioned a small volume of poems, very tastefully printed, with this title, " Wait ing at Table: Poems and Songs, by Robert Awde, a servant." The dedication ran thus : "To Robert 'lyric, Esq., my good master, this volume of verses, composed in half-hours snatched from sleep, and in spare moments during Waiting at Table,' is inscribed by his obedient servant, R. A." The verses are said to be quite as good as many issued under more pretentious circumstances. —An extraordinary match of carrier pigeons has recently taken place at Brussels.

SIXTEENS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION PROCESSION AND SPEECHES The new house of the Hope Rose and Steam Fire Engine Company - was formally dedicated to the uses for which it was intended yester day, it being the sixtieth anniversary of their formation as aninstitution. The ceremonies of dedication consisted of a parade of the mem bers with their apparatus. "TSB rttoczsStoil The procession formed at half-past four o'clock, at the oh house on Union street. The members turned out two ht3ndred and fifty strong, attired in citizens' dress. They were under the marsbalship of Thomas 11. Pete, and were headed by a fine l?and of music. They had with them their steam nre engine, drawn by fourbeautiful horses, their hose car riage, in elegant order, drawn by the mem bers, and their beautiful ambulance. They proceeded over the following route: Union street to Second, thence to Lombard, thence& Third, thence to - Monroe, thence to Second, thence to Queen, thence to Sixth, thence to Shippen, thence to Seventh, thence to Catha rine, thence to Eighth, thence to Pine, thence to Tenth, thence to Lombard, thence to Ele venth, thence to South, thence to Twentieth, thence to 'Walnut, thence to SeTentechtb, thence to Chestnut, thence to Third, thence to Pine, and thence to new house. NEW ROUSE The property formed part of the Willing es tate, The old mansion-house has been torn out, and a new iron front has been put into the first floor, with two large double doors and three small ones. Two tracks are laid upon the floor of sufficient length to hold two rows of apparatus three deep. To the left of the en trance is the hose tower and entrance to the second story. The tower is four feet square and dity-SiX feet high, thus allowing a section of hose to be ex - tended its full length. The walls of the building are made in imitation of Pictou stone. The sitting-room is on the first floor, and is twenty-two by thirty feet. In the rear of this room is the stable, paved with granite blocks. It has four stalls, two of which are floored with boards, and two lined with fire-brick clay. The parlor on the second floor is forty feet square, and is to be frescoed in the highest style of the art. • The bunk room adjoining is twenty by fifty-six feet, and contains twenty-eight single closets. The Ceil ing is eighteen feet high, frescoed throughout in panels and centre pieces. The floor is car peted with Brussels, and there are twenty-two iron bedsteads in the room. The bath-room connecting with the bunk-room is fitted up in admirable style. The dining room is on the third story; it is large, and well adapted for the purposes for whichit is intended. The house was thus formally taken posses sion of, and in the evening the President of the company, Peter. Williamson, Esq., deli vered THE ADDIIEBB OR' DEDICATION He said, we are assembled here on this anni versary p.vening to take possession of our new hall, which, after much anxiety and no little labor has been so far completed in its adapta bility to the purposes of our company as to enable us to enter upon its occupancy with every reasonable expectation that for all fu ture time it is to imeome our permanent abode. Possessed of more than ordinary facilities for carrying out the benevolent designs of onr institution, with superior and effective appa, ratus'and a membership active and intelligent, connected with the prond satisfaction of own. erbliip in a building not surpassed in conveni ence by any similar association, it would be a reflection, upon the energy and zeal of Mel members to admit even the possibility of failure. Through the liberality of the Trustees of the Fire Association, this property was se eared by purchase at a cost of nine thousand dollars, and the work of making the necessary alterations was soon commenced, and thus far prosecuted under circumstances the most dis couraging and unfavorable to success, during a period of great public embarrassment and financial difficulty. But impressed with the importance of the undertaking, the matter was pusbela forward with great zeal, and. with a result, if not tke most satisfactory, yeV tainly exceeding our expectations. The ap - er then went into a The precise date of the institution does not appear on the records of the company,,but from an early re - port of the treasurer, and other data, ifhaS been ascertained witli muck certainty to have been on the 17t.11 day of Au gust, 1805. At the meeting held in November, 1805, the record is made of the first movement of the company to procure hose; by the appointment of a committee to contract for three hundred feet, and also to have the hats painted at an expeLeo of soventytive cents each, and at the same time to procure lantern*, trumpets, and wrenches. At the following meeting, Decent her. 7, the committee reported the hose car riage tiniAled. This being the first carriage built for the company, and is so dissimilar in appearmice :mil arrangements from those now in use, itmay be of some interest to the cu- TIOUS to furnish a short description. THE I , IIIBT ROBB GARRIMM it was built by Mason, and was quite a sim ple contrivance, being nothing more than a large hoop-bound, oval tub, in shape not unlike those Usually employed for bathingpurposes. This was placed on a square platform, and mounted 011 four whccls about the diameter of those ordinarily attached to our common hilial-Carts, with turned pillars at each corner, supporting alight, ornamental balluster-wOrk on the top, the front also ormunented with a painting of the Goddess reclining against a rock, ship at sea in distressin the distance &e. The hose was drawn into the tub by band. over a roller, and carefully coiled so as to occupy as little apace as possible. TEE FIRE DEPAR,TifTtNT TN 1805, Some idea of the limited character of the lire apparatus of the city at this period may be formed from the fact that in an application for assistance, it. is stated "that there is no other institution of a similar character south of Chestnut street,' LOCATION OF THE Her& nc 1806. On January ISO, lffle, a report was received from the committee appointed for the purpose, stating that City Councils had granted per. mission for the occupancy of the apartment at the north end of the ,new market-house, in which the carriage and other implements of the company way be deposited, June 5, 1806, the motto of the company, Omnes adto lrgsgerator ab objecta”—every act is specified by the object—was adopted. December 1,1608. At the meeting this even• ing the committee reported that in addition to the sum of one hundred dollars already re ceived by each of the nine companies com posing the present number of the city, they have further collected from the remaining in surance companies a sum which, when divided, would amount to sixty-two dollars for each company; and it was intimated by the gene rous donors that we should be frugal, as they considered the present donation sufficient for our purposes for two years to come. INVENTORY OF PRE COMPANY'S EPPEOTS August 2, 1810, the following inventory of the effects or the company . was reported at this meeting, viz: One carriage, thirteen sections, six hundred and thirty feet of hose, one double male, branch pipe and goose-neck, one span ner and Bye wrenches, one axe, two trumpets, one tender box, and four lanterns, with breeches, bridge, and screws. At the same meeting Robinson 1t..2100ne WAS elected presi dent in the place of Brian Drum. December tt, 1813, the number of members at this time was not more than thirty. NSW HOSE CARELI43II June 6,1816, the carriage committee reported that the now carriage had been completed and was now in the hose house, and present a bill for the same, amounting to $317.47. CO_ ders for winding the hose had been intro duced at this time, and were found to be a great improvement on the old mode of draw ing and coiling by hand. OFFICERS AND AMERICUS IN 1816 At the sembannual Meeting in August, Me, Robert Gordon was elected President, and was succeeded in office by William—Peltz in February,lBl7. At the meeting in May, 1817, the number of members, limited by the constitution, was in• creased to one himdred. BELLS. Among the novelties introduced about this time were two bells for the carriage. At the meeting on the sth day of February, 1818, Peter Williamson was elected President. At the following meeting . a circular was re ceived containing a proposition for the forma tion of an association_ for the purpose of in swing houses against loss or damage by Are, to be composed of the several companies of the city. This committee reported unfavor ably on account of its inexpediency. .A reso lution was adopted declaring the unwilling ness of the company to unite or become Con nected with the movement. AtiOmzu NEW oicatireaa. At the meeting on September 11,1819__, it was agreed to purchase from Jeffries 85 Nuttle new carriage, made by them for the sum of $3.10. FIRE ABSOCIATION On the 11th of June, MI, a special meeting was held to again consider the subject of join ing the Fire Association. A committee on the subject was appointed, which reported favor ably, and stated that the admission fee had been fixed at 'fifteen dollar, and the company agreed to join the Association. ICIWIT YEARS' EXPENSES-NM/BEM, ETC A committee On the subject reported iu February, 1823, that the current expenses for the previous eight years had been $2,380. They further say that the amount of two hundred and ninety-live dollars will be required an nually to keep the company in proper condi tion. They also state that, in former - years, companies carried on their carriages only six h.undred feet of hose g but finding their efforts too limited in later years, this quantity has been greatly increased, so that it is now com mon to carry ten, twelve . , and thirteen hundred feet. DD.:tubers are admitted between the ages of eighteen and forty. The present number is forty-seven over twenty-one years, and six minors. The apparatus consist of one thou sand two 'hundred feet of hose, two hose car riages, spanners, wrenches, torches, axe.

Herman elected Pre sident; soon after deceased, and, on the 2d day of June, 1825, Alexander Henry was elected. /fOTIOn . TO OM, In the year 1816 the company was notified by the city authorities to vacate the premises at the north end of the market house, Second and Pine streets, which had been so long occupied for the use of the apparatus. Measures were accordingly taken to comply with the notice, and a committee appointed to obtain a suita ble place for the purpose, with a view to im mediate removal. A NEW HOUSE. At a subsequent meeting the committee made report, and recommended the purchase of the house and lot on Union street, below bocond, which was approved by the company, and authority giv6ii to purchase the Same, at a Cost not exceeding the sum of 812,750. Imme diate measures were taken to make the neces sary alterations to adapt it to the purposes of the company, which were completed, and the yapparatus housed in June, IslB. Thomas B. c,rence was at that time President. The Building Committee reported that the expense of altering the house on Union etreet, and adapting it to suit the apparatus, had been $1,269.62.

OM ober 7.1852, the committee on building tbe new carriage submitted their report,by which it appears the actual cost of the saute had amounted to the sum of $2.,199.53, and closed the report by stating " that they cheerfully hand over to the keeping of the company that which has been pronounced the most beauti ful carriage in the world." This carriage took the first premium at the Franklin Institute Exhibition. FIRS. October 17,1852, a Meetinwas held to con sider the proper course tote pursued in con sequence of the damage sustained by the fire which occurred on the morning of the 15th inst. by which the cupola and upper rooms of ourhall, together with the library, paint ings, and works of art were destroyed, sup posed to have been the work of an incendiary. Resolutions were adopted Offering a reward of $lOO for information which would lead to the conviction of the author of the diabolical deed, and directing the trustees to confer with the Fire Association in reference to the in surance on the building, that immediate mea sures may be taken to'repair the damage. October 20, the trustees informed the com pany that the Association had offered $745 to indemnify the loss sustained by the fire, which sum it was agreed to accept, and apply the same exclusively to the purpose of repairing the building. Tllit GRAND CARRIAGE AGAIN. February 2, 1814, the committee to deposit the new carriage in the World's Fair, New York, for exhibition, reported they had at tended to this duty, and received from the judgesi. selected for the purpose a certificate of honorable mention. The new carriage having been found entirely too costly for or dinary use, the subject of selling it had been agitated for some time, when it was finally de termined that Sale ShOtild be made, as also the crab, and their places supplied with those better adapted to our purposes. Accordingly, at the meeting October 2-ith, the committee authorized for this purpose reported having effected,a sale of the same for the sum of one thousand three hundred and six dollars, and the crab for one hundred andlifty dollars. In 1956 the company agreed to accept the supplement to the lire ordinance, and applied for admission to membership. In September, 1955, the first election was held, under the new regulations, for Chief and Assistant Engineers of the fire department. ===l Early in the year 1858 the attention of the company was Caned by Mr. Thomas Ti. feto to a consideration of the advantages art4ing from the introduction of steam tire-engines. The subject met with great opposition, but a com mittee was appointed to inquire into the sub ject, and report thereon. At the next meeting Mr. Peto, on behalf of the committee, made , a highly favorable and satisfactory report. Au thority was given to the committee to enter into a contract with Reanie 45t Nealle, for the construction of a steam fire-engine. In the month of May following, the appara tus was so far completed as to allow a public trial of her capacity. June 24th, the commit tee reported that the engine had been brought home, and TM now in the house, ready for service. They were directed to employ an en gineer and purchase a pair of horses. The cost of the engine was $3,01.127.

If there are any who do so, they should have visited the grounds of the Cam dem Club yesterday afternoon. Upwards of ten thousand persons, ladies, gentlemen, end children, were assembled there, and a more respectable and orderly congregation we have never seen. There was less criticism above an undertone yesterday, yet the enthusiasm of the spectators was none the less demonstra tive when a good "bit" or "catch" was made. The grounds of the Camden Club are situ ated in the vicinity of Diamond Cottage, They are larger than those of the Athletics, in this city, although not so level. The game was played in pursuance Of an arrangement made between the two clubs some two weeks since, and not because, as was erroneously stated, of a challenge tendered by the Athletics to the Camden, at the conclusion of the game be tween the latter club and the Actives of New York. The game yesterday was far better contested than that between the Camdens And the Ae tives, and every one seemed pleased with it. The fielding of the Camdens was superb, and on the whole was better than that of their op. penentS. FiSler (Al b.) did some catching which has not been excelled—probably not equalled—in all the numerous matches played this season. Mulliner (1. f.), in same club, also made some fine catches, which brought doWn the "field." The playing of Berkenstock was very tine, indeed, and fully sustained the rep*. tation of that gentleman. He divided the honors with Mcßride in scoring the largest numbers on his side. Mcßride came fully up to the mark, and distinctly showed what he could do. His swift, even balls were puzzling to the Camdens ; and it was observed that so long as he retained his place they had a.slim chance of proving themselves the victors. They, however, made great efforts to be so lucky, and not by any means the least to de sire this result was their pitcher, Mr. Miller. To use a rather common expression, "He was as sharp as a steel-trap;" and his efforts to put his opponents out at the bases were, in many instances, successful. At a little after three o'clock the game com menced, with the Athletics at the bat. It was observed that Reach, (the second base, and probably the best "batter " in the club,) was absent, and his place had to be supplied by E. A. Gaskill. They scored three before they were put out. The Camdens did not succeed as well, they being soon put out before they had scored any. This bad luck also followed them in the second and third innings. The fourth innings added four to the score of the Athletics, and gave the Camdens their first two. This latter result raised the spirits of our New Jersey friends, and their playing was much better until the close of the game. The following wag the score: ATIILF,TIC.CAMDEN. 0.8., 0. -R.

They will play the Athletics on Wednesday, by request, thus deferring the return match between the Ath letics and Camdens, which was arranged to take . place on that day.

THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCLETY OP PiltLA.- DRUPIIIA..--MaDy of our readers have, no doubt, received a copy of a circular issued by this society, calling for pecuniary assistance, in raising a fund for its support. The pursuits of a student of Entomology, in collecting, classifying, and discovering the habits of in sects, may not he appreciated by those who aim at wealth and luxury, and yet they may be of great usefulness. No section of our country is exempt from the depredations of insects, which often consume our harvest - - fields, destroy the fruits of our orchards, and commit havoc with our vegetable gardens ; and the naturalist, who employs himself In - the study of the means to overcome these an noyances, renders a real service to the public. The " Entomological Society," organized in 1859, and incorporated in 1865, is the only one in this country devoted entirely to the study of insects. it is located at No. 815 South Thir teenth street, and for six years past has been diligently engaged in collecting specimens, forming a library, and publishing useful, original papers. In that shoji space Of time it as accumulated, a library of 1,500 volumes on Entomology, a cabinet or 00,000 specitaatie of insects, and has published four volumes oft its "Proceedings," containing over 2,000 pages and 24 plates. The Society is sustained only by individual contribution, and the measure of its useful- DM is limited to those means, which haVe been greatly reduced by the death of one of its most liberal contributors—Dr. T. B. Wilson, late President of the Academy of Natural Sciences. While the wealth of the country is great, and is liberally distributed through other channels, comparatively little aid has been given in this direcpon. A fund of 2t0,000 would place the Society on a eeeure founda tion, and make it a most efficient organisation. We, therefore, call the attention of the readers of The Press to the useful labors of this Society, and urge those who have the means of doing liberal things, to contribute generously to so valuable an Institut/9P, A WELL-DESERVED COMPLIMENT.—Dr. Edward Wallace, Naval Officer of this port, was yesterday the recipient of a testimonial which he well deserves. The gentlemen con nected with the Naval Mae presented him, on the occasion of his reappointment to the office which he has so ably filled during the last four years, with a splendid silver-plated set, consisting of the usual number of pieces. 02.

NAUGHTY HUSBAND. Wm, Rich was cliarged with having corn witted an assault and battery on. Alfred M. Peysont, and - upon a second bill with an as sault and battery on Anna Hadley. Mr. Pey sont testified that on the evening of the 4th of July last, he was passing along Sixth street, near ftruce street, in company with Miss Anna Hadley, when he was, without warning and without provocation, assaulted by the defendant, who struck him a violent blow between the eyes and another behind the ear. He was knocked against the wall, and would have fallen but for the support afforded ny it. Peysont also received a cut in the arm, whether by some sharp instrument in the hands of the nefendant, or otherwise, he could not say. His wife was in company with the defendant, but Mr. Peysont denied that he bad struck her. . . Miss Hadley was called to the stand, and cor roborated the statement of Mr. Peysont in regard to the assault and battery by Hr. Rich, and Statetl, in addition, that in the course of the melee, Mr, 12, inflicted a blow upon her, Upon cross-examination, she said she was a taileress, lived in - Caroline street, between Fourth and Fifth, below Wharton, and worked for her sisters ; Dirs. Peysont had once called g r on p h o e y r s , o a i r had e s r e v , w s e s d a w a th ey r ilrar not n o t agreed at that or any time to give up her inti macy or aeonaintanee with bun ; On the eeea- • sion of the assault and battery she was walk ing with Mr. P., when Mrs. P. came up behind her, hissed in her ear "You —," choked her, ; and tore off -her bonnet. • i Mrs. Peysont was called for the defence, and testified that she had known Miss Hadley al- • most from her infancy, and knew her now as the destroyer of her happiness ; she was mar. ried to Mr. Peysont Thirteen years ago, and. they lived happily together until five years ago, when, this woman, Hadley. crossed her Path, and won her husband away ; she had called to see the woman about Mr. Peysont, and to persuade her to break off the intimacy between them, but she refused, saying she I would go through fire and water but that she would win him ;" since the final separation be- ! tween herself and husband, and, for the past three years she (Mrs. Peysont) had been living in the family of the defendant, and his em ploy, ; on the night of the assault and battery, Dir. R. and herself were out to see the illumi nation and seeing her husband walking with Ankle Hadley, whom she had. before repeated. ly forbidden the privilege, she could. not resist the impulse to interfere; she accordingly ad vanced and laid her hand on Miss H.'s shoul der, when Mr. P. turned, and seeing who it was, struck her on the breast; it was then that Mr. Rich, to protect her, assaulted and struck Mr. Peysont, using only his "two fists" and no other weapon. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty as to the assault and battery on Peysont, but not guilty as to the assault on Anna Hadley. In passing . sentence dge Ludlow said, he thought the jury bad done right in convicting, under the testimony, but it was in his power while sustaining the law, yet not too neverely, to punish the defendant. The facts showed that the prosecutor had acted most shamefully and disgracefully in having abandoned Ins wife and family for a strange woman. Under the circumstances, he would sentence the de fendant to pay a fine of ono dollar and the cOStB. 6norLirTgit Francis Gramer was convicted of the larceny of four silk hanekerchiefs, the property -of Il Charles H.

McKee, a resident of Lewistown, Mif flin county, but who was stopping in the city at the t Ruins Head]] tavern, Spates slept in the same room with McKee, and in the morning the latter missed his watch.
