FlitZ Vttss. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1865 2.lis RANA= OF THE CROLPRA iii CONSTAli mtwortz.—A correspondent of the New York 21 - thane, writing from Constantinople, under date of the 2.3 d August, says that in fifty days the deaths by cholera amounted to not less than 50,000. Some days the deaths averaged three thousand a day. The authorities did not publish the whole number of deaths on any Occasion. - More than one hundred thousand people have And the city. The city, instead of being a mart of trade, is a vast hospital. At certain points dead bodies, in some cases un cofflned and naked, have been literally piled up by scores waiting transportation to the burial places, One of the cholera hospitals on - the old city wall next the sea had a slide ar ranged down which the dead bodies were shot into boats to'be buried in the sea. Only one death has occurred in the little Amerlean colony here. The youngest son of the 12ev. Dlr. Washburne died two weeks ago, after a few hours' illness. The American missionaries have devoted themselves to the care of the sick and dying among the poorer ehageS, and under their treatment hundreds of lives have been saved. While the average mortality in the city has been about sixty-tive per cent. of those attack .ed, under the treatment of the American mise sionaries the mortality has not exceeded /tea _per cent., or setting aside all those lighter ease which might be classed as eholeriae. The cholera has not followed any known -laws in its progress here. It has been sup posed that it avoided high and airy localities, but here it has raged with the greatest seve rity in some of the highest, best ventilated, and most cleanly quarters of the city, while in previous epidemics not a single case had -occurred. - Another singular fact is that the mortality among the Europeans has been much greater -since the decline of the disease than it was when it was at its height. Another fact is, that those who have fled from infected districts,in perfect health, have generally been attacked with disease as soon as they reached their new and before that healthy place of refuge. A Fair Hit. 'The New York Evening Post says: We are surprised and grieved at the conduct -of. the British. Government in regard to Cer tain persons suspected of Fenie.nisml , in Ire land. At Dundalk live men have been arrest ed, and refused ball. They had not committed any crime; they had met together in a time of profound peace, without arms, 'for , some purpose not stated before the magistrate they were not charged or suspeeted ot having committed any crime ; and yet the judge be whom they were arrigned not only re fused to discharge them, but sent them to jail 'without bail. What is the boasted liberty of the British subjeet wortb, 'when En_gliSh judges can thus arrest and immure in Bast - ties innocent thing goes on much s li "n e n indf loger, - it A necessa ry for our Government to remonstrate with Lord Palmerston; and, as soon as Congress meets, it will be adyibible to bring up before that dy the arbitrary and tyrannical treat ment of British subjects by the British Cirovern ment. - Fortunately for Mr. Seward and members of Congress, the form and even the language of such complaints and remonstrances are acces sible to them. There are letters of Earl Rus sell to our Government and to the British minister at Washington which will answer, with but the slightest changes, for Mr. Seward to lire back at Earl Russell ; there are speeches by Gregory, Roebuck - , Laird, and others, in the House of COMnions, against our Govern ment, which require only a few verbal altera tions to make them useful to members of Congress who wish to show up the lawless tyranny; the savage brutality, and the folly of the British Government, and anpeal 'WU.° whole Civilized world, and to Chriittans every :where, to refuse their countenance to such proceedings. Ireland and the whole of Great Britain are lying profoundly at peace; suddenly Lord Palmerston, known as a hater of Irishmen, 'Mime it into his head to order indiscriminate arrests, right and left. A young man tells another to " double up ," and on the instant one of Palinerston's minions seizes him, drags him before a magistrate or judge, also in Pal merston's pay, who consigns him to a dun geon,and tyrannically refuses to accept bail for his appearance. Another equally umocent young Irishman tells two or three of HU coin pauions to "close up," and he too is dragged oil; and disappears m a Bastile. Another hap pens to say " fall in bellied," and he is locked up without opportunity to explain his mean ing; and his weeping wife and aged mother appeal in vain for either justice or mercy. .Are these proceedings lit for the nineteenth century? Does not the civilized world blush at such tyranny? and so on and so-forth—for the remainder of this see speeches of Roebuek, X. P. and others ; where we may also learn thatlreland otight to be anindependent State, and that the - United States ought to help the Irish against England, because thus a severe and damaging blow can be struck at the strength of England—which is, according to the wise Roebuck, an irrefutable argument, The Health of our City. 'To the Editor of me Fes SIR : I see that a communication from the Board of Health was received in Select Coun cil on Thursday last, in reference to "the Saul tary condition of the city, the steady approach of the cholera," etc. This intelligence is very gratifying, indeed, and it is to be most earnest ly hoped that a committe (or " messenger") Tested with proper authority, may be induced to visit some of the slaughter-1) ouses and bone factories lying south of Wharton and east of Fourth street, whence cloth daily ariserthe most horrid effluvia that it is possible for one to conceive of. From a "local a which ap peared in the columns of your paper a few days since, it seems that a com)ruttee COM• posed of members of the Board of wealth had visited some localities of the above character, , and pronounced that not on lywere they not unhealthy, but that they were even promo tire of health For the sake of not detract ing from the wisdom that is supposed to go. vern this body, it is to be hoped that this ver dict was rendered in irony. rather than as an 4 'll:mutable fact ;° otherwise it would cer tainly be in direct conflict with the common sense view of our people, who entertain the idea that any effluvium which compels the closing of doors and windows for its exclusion, and which (to the more delicate) causes even nausea itself, is not rery promotive of health. As the cholera may yet reach our shores, it would be sheer criminality to allowsuch bale ful auxiliaries to exist in our midst, without making the most strenuous exertions for their removal, As a resident of this stench-affected district, I trust the day may not be far distant when these nuisances will be taken away; and when we can be permitted to breathe pure air without hindrance from such offensive SANITARY. Sept.lB,lBos. 'REBEL Alma ivies..—The Bureau of Rebel Ar chives, under , the charge of Dr. Francis Lie ber, is now at work upon the examination and classification of the five hundred boxes of ar chives of the late rebel government. These doctirecutg relate to every department and period of the rebellion, and cover the larger part of its civil and military history. The title of the bureau has been changed to the Archive Office of the War Department. The office occu pies rooms on F street. while awaiting the preparation of Fercils Theatre, which will be hi readiness about January lit. rTIEIU ST. LeTie Colm en3rEN.—The thirty members of the municipality of St. Louis, Xis ..souri, will be handsomely received by the au thorities of Philadelphia. The visiters are composed of some of the leading business men of that city. They are giants in enterprise, and loyal in patriotism. They will be warmly welecmed upon their arrival in the City of Penn, by the committee of Select and Common Councils appointed for thatpurpose. The gen tlemen from the Western city desire to make themselves well acquainted with the public works of Philadelphia, and, in this instance, there is every likelihood. of the Philadelphia committee showing their guests around to the most unlimited extent. Visitations such as these are likely to he attended with the most beneficial results. St. Louis is the rival city of Chicago, and already has a heavy trade with Philadelplua. This trails may be iuereaged if things are properly managed. The Cooper- Shoo and Volunteer Refreshment Saloons, in which a million of soldiers, from all parts of the Union, were fed while passing to and fro thrOegh our city, have endeared the name of Philauclphia to the people of the country. Even soldiers from ;Missouri passed through our city, and the most favorable impressions were indelibly engraved upon their hearts. So it is with the entire organization of the city, covering as it does an area of one hun dred and thirty-one square miles, and having a river front of nearly Seventeen miles. Its lire alarm and police arrangements ; its pala tial market-houses ; its different water-works its system of drainage ; its straight and level streets ; its immense gas-works; its diverging line of steam railways ; its numerous local railroads; its handsome churches and semina ries; its - Magni - dscat _colleges ; its thriving, industrious, intelligent and loyal citizens; its thoroughgoing business men . ; its shipping; its immense foundries, factories, mills, arse nals, and the general health of its citizens ; its clean streets, arc., make Philadelphia what it really is—the largest and best city on the Con tinent of. America. A happier mass of people cannot be found on any part of the broad land of the world. Cheerful and patriotic, they would all extend the hand of welcome to the St. Louis visitors, if such were possible. This must, however, be done by the committee as the representatives Of the people at large. POLITICALLY IMPORTANT.—There are in many parts of our city persons who fought in the rebel ranks against the American flag. Some of these miserable beings bad emigrated from the worth to the South previous to the rebellion, and they entered the rebel army fully believing that that horde would be vic torious. Some of these beings were upwards of three years in the service of Jeff Davis & Vo. It is stated that a number of them de serted, and came into our lines ; others were taken prisoners and were paroled, and others again deserted at various times, and, watching their chances, stealthily sneaked to the North, since which- time they have been looking around for something to do. It is evidently the intention of the lower order Of ward politicians to have as many of these rebel deserters assessed, and their names placed on the extra assessment list. This is the necessary preliminary to entitle au indi vidual to vote. It therefore becomes abso lutely necessary to keep a watchful eye over these lists. The assessors will meet in a few days for the purpose of receiving the names of citizens who are not assessed, and they may be imposed upon. The Fifth and Sixth wards are said to-contain quite a number of the Koseby tribe, who, however, wisely crawl through the ranks of civilized We without making much noise. They are seldom heard to give a single hiss. In the keeping of de graded, rum-besotted, ignorant, reckless and desperatepot-house politicians these stingless Copperheads may become a dangerous ele ment in political circles. FATAL ACCIDENT. Charles 'Wieder, aged twelve years, residing at 242 Chester street, fell on Sunday afternoon last from an arbor and fractured his skull He died from .the effects of his injuries on Sunday night. The coroner held an inquest, and a verdict in accordance with the facts was -rendered. THE CABE OR ANDREW S. HORNER.— The coroner's jury yesterday continued the inquest in the ease of Andrew S. Horner, who Was found insensible in a lager-beer 819.100 n, and afterwards died at hie residence, in Catharine street, but none of the witnesses knew anything about the ease, and the inquest adjourned. ."TIE PERFECTION COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.—Last evening, notwithstanding the inclement state of the n eather, Handel and Haydn Hall was toles• bly well fined by an intelligent audience of ladies and gentlemen assembled to listen to a lecture on Commercial Education by Thos. ➢lay Fierce, A. M. It being the opening nlght Of the Union Business College, the exercises begs'), at 8 o'clock, with the delivery of an in troductory address by Chester H. Farr, Jr., His remarks were confined principally to a general review of the influence of general education. Mr. Pierce followed. There are, said he, three kinds of commerce—the commerce of cornmo dities, the commerce of ideas, and the com merce of emotions. lie then treated of the educatiOn Which Was necessary to a commerce in either or all of the divisions. The necessity of such an education. the advantages thereof, the circumstances under which it Could be exercised, the preparations essential to a pro per acquisition of such an. education, aryl the best plan of securing that preparation, were next reviewed. - The necessity of a trade in commodities was scientifically discussed. The preparation needed by one engaged in business embraces the acquisition of broad no• Lions of science,_ general culture and diset. One, and a special development of the per ceptions—an acquaintance with the leading laws of trade, and such a practice of them as will connect the law and the subject treated upon the - Axing of certain cardinal points of character, and the tietelopment of will and energy to hold the position properly . taken. Of business colleges, he said that imperfect as they are they can develop whatever of d is cipline and method may be possessed, giving it scope and object; can found a special busi ness education on the elementary branches known, confirm habits of reading and select Proper matter for Its exercise, broaden gene. rat information, and show its practical im portance to business and connection with it, teach the great truths upon which trade is conducted, and approximate closely tam actual business operations. He next treated of ,the commerce of ideas— which is conducted by conversation and pub lic remarks, either written or spoken. He re viewed this subject at some length and with much interest. The closing head of the lecture was the com merce at emotions, and Mid reference to the distinctive features of the emotions; the com merce of . emotions existing between indi viduals inn. the public, that between indi- Vidliala and their friends, and that between children and parents, brothuraand sisters, and husbands. The lecture was well delivered, and received with marks of approbation. TRIBUTE OF ESTEE:W.—It having Come to the knowledge of Gustave Ream% EMI., that Mr. James B. Dare, the worthy crier of the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Sessions, would celebrate the sixtieth anni versary of his natal clay on Saturday last, that distinguished gentleman determined upon a suorise to Mr. Dare. Accordingly Mr. lienmir.: called upon sonic of the leading members of the bar, who ehemfully acqufesced in his views. Joseph Bgpham, Esq., was given a carte blanche to affect such a testimonial of esteem, without limit to price, as he might deem proper_ On Saturday evening quite a number of the Dare, of the bar met at the house of Mr. Dare, and in a few minutes afterwards a large sized basket was produced, and its contents found to be a set of silverware, gotten up..in gorgeous style, and chased in an exquisite Armen The hiSetiption on the plate was simple, Ivor. to the worthy recipient it ex pressed volumes. "Pre.sented to James B. Dare Esq., by the members -, -g the Philadel phia Ban , ' Mr. Bonham is e.ertarnry 7-titled to credit for the taste he exercised in the pa. forMance of the duty assigned him. John Goforth, Esq., presented the testi monial in a neat and eloquent speech, in the course of which he said that, during the four teen years Mr. Dare had performed the ar duous duties of crier of the court, the mem bers of the bar had always received the most marked courtesy at his hands. Ile also et:- Mired to an incident, which, not being known to those present, produced a pleasing sen sation. It was that when the office of crier was vacant, Mr. Dare called upon Judge Alli son and recommended a friend of his for the position. judge Allison's reply was 3lr. Dare, you will suit for that position better than any one I know of and so Mr. Dare was appointed. Mr. Goforth complimented the excellent judge on his wisdom in making so fortunate a choice. Be then handed over the beautiful testimonial to Mr. Dare, saying it Was but a Slight testimonial of the ,esteem in which he was held by his fellow-members of the bar. Dare, who, by a temperate life, has his voice unimpaired, and can make it ring throughout the court•rOOM, was somewhat tremulous upon this occasion. He received the testimonial, saying it was a proud moment of his life that ,gentlemen so exalted should think of him who occupied so modest a posi tiOn in the court. He promised to hand the costly gift down to his posterity, as the proud. eat boon he could bestow upon them. The gentlemen present then partook of some reh•eshments,the excellent lady and daughter of the recipient contributing largely to the in terest of the occasion. TIM GERMAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH—LATINO OF A CORNER STONE.—Yester day afternoon a large assembly of our German population, who adhere to the tenets of the Lutheran Chtireh, assembled, in defiance of the inclement weather, at the corner of Fif teenth and Ogden streets, to witness and take part in the ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone of the German Evangelical Lutheran church, about to be erected at that place. The enterprise has been undertaken for the benefit of the large number of COMER Lutherans living in the upper part of the city, and is the outgrowth of a -Sunday-school which was established in the neighborhood about five years since. Connected with this, there is now a day school, which is attended by nearly three hundred children. The services of the laying of the stone, began by the singing c 4 an anthem, by the assembly, after which jthe Rev. Mr. nutter delivered a prayer. The Rev. Dr. icrotel followed in la short address, which was listened to with interest. Another hymn was then sung by the choirs of the various German Lutheran churches throughoutthe city, the members of which had volunteered their services. The Rev. Dr. Mann read a short history of the en terprise, and placed the articles to be put in the stone in a leaden bog, Among the a,rtieles deposited were the bible, the confession °Me church, a hymn book, religion's and secular newspapers of the day, (including The Press,) and specimens of the gold and silver coin of the United States. The box was then scaled up. The Rev. Mr. Spath next addressed the audience, after whieh the bog was placed in the receptacle cut for it in the stone and covered with a marble slab. Rev. Dr. Mann performed this duty. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. bin Vogelbach, and the audience was dismissed with benediction. The ex ercises were conciliated entirely in the G e manr language, GITARDLANS OF THE POOR.—A stated meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Poor was held yesterday afternoon, at the alms house, President Erety in the chair.

The present Moen were renominated for osection at the next meeting for the ensuing year. The steward's requisition was granted and the board adjourned. AUTUMNAL EQUINOX, AND ITS EFFECTS. —There was a sudden change in the weather yesterday. Early morn was enveloped in fog, which was so thick'on the surface of the Dela. ware that steam-navigation was rather dan gerous. After the sun had passed its Meridian the wind veered suddenly to the northeast, and blew in fitful gusts. About the middle of the afternoon rain commenced to fall, and thus was ushered in the autumnal equinox of the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six-five. This storm may be considered the breaking -up of summer. There has, - not been one northeast storm since last March, in this city, but more rain fell during the summer than ValS ever known before. Reed birds, of course, are numbered with the things that were. They commenced their flight south ward yesterday morning. The storm, how ever, will be very apt to bring to the waters of the Delaware yellow-legged and bull-head plover, teal, black-duck, and spring-tail, and, not unlikely, snipe of the several kinds. The best time to shoot teal is when the Delaware is at high-water, between daybreak and sun rise. The best time to shoot plover is at low water, when the tide begins to flow. On some of the shores of the islands, or on the bare in the river Delaware, they may be seen by the thousands immediately after a heavy north east rain-storm has subsided, BABE BALL AT OffEfiTtinT HILL.—The return&etch between the Metamora and Chestnift Hill Clubs, which was played on the grounds of the latter last Saturday afternoon, resulted in a complete success for them, as Wappears by the appended score.

They will play a match on their grounds, next Saturday, with the Germantown Club, which promises to be a very close and exciting one : _ _ SfETAMORA. 0. li. CHESTNUT HILL. 0. R.

At almost any moment during the day horses Slip, particular ly in turning the corner of Fourth and Chest nut streets. A day or two since a -pair of splendid horses, belonging_ to Mr. Robert Sykes, of Germantown, fell - from this cause, and one of the animals was seriously injured. Within our personal knowledge several horses have been so pinch injured by slipping on the smooth surface of these stones as to be of no further use. A few men with steel picks, might speed ilr rough the stones, at wry little Cost to the city. We have heard some of the storekeepers in the vicinity of Fourth and Chestnut streets, say they would voluntarily contribute towards the expense rather than to become the unwilling spectators of such scenes as are almost constantly taking place in their neighborhood. How TO CLEAN A GIIN IN AN EMIIROEN cr.—Now that the rail-bird season is at its height, gunners often experience difficulty in nudet of their sport by the gun becoming •so foul that the ramrod will stick in loading. This can be remedied in two minutes by the following rule: Put in a load of powder with a tight wad on it; put on the cap; then pour into the barrel about a gill or half a tumbler of water, and immediately fire it elf. It will thoroughly and effectually clean the gun. Then snap two or three caps before you load again to dry out the chamber, and you are all right. If you have a double-barrel, do one barrel at a time, as it will not do to let the water remain on the powder any length of time, DEATII OF A CELEBRATED MUSICIAN.— Theodore Ahrend, one of the best violoncel lists in this country, died at his residence in this city on Friday last.
