African Church Boyle street, . Allegheny. The Occasion, time and place should have been sufficient to tone Joshua's hilarity down to, at least, a moderate cheerfulness, but such seems not to have been the case. *Once inside, his first objective point was the gas chandelier in the yeatibule, at which he attempted in vain to light a -venerable moors(' mum. By this time an, official became cognizant of his presence, and blandly insinuated that a walk in the open ai - might be beneticial, but this gen- Ale intimation to retire had not the desired , offect,; .and evoked an artistic, though rather boister ous vocal exercise, in which the per former rhythmically exOressed his in tention of remaining until morning—"t till appear." , lie aud 'denly chanced his mind, however, and withdrew, in a somewhat demoralized anti precipitate manner, influenced in a great measure by several members of tha church, who failed to appreciate the sweetness and sentiment of his vocalize= tlons.

Prospects of the Oil Market YesterdAy ire had a letter shown to us, under date of Slat ult., written by a prominent oil firm in the oil regions to a friend of their's. They give their views of the market'and production, &c., based upon facts of personal observation. They say: , "Some time since we all looked for a 'Mutat production during this year, and consequently high prices; but to the con trary we have had a larger production for the same period of 18.69 than in 1868, and our present prospects are, that we will produce fully• 1,800 to 2,000 barrels per day for the balance of 1869 over, the same period or 1868. Four dollars per barrel pays , largely to a producer, and demonstrates the fact that small wells and many of them produce a great deal of oil, and we have now a flattering pros pect at and between Shamburgh and Pleasantville, ,and below Pleasantville andd - Pit Hole, on Cherry Tree Run, &rub Grails, and' on tho Niles Farm, bear the old Neyhart Farm. We fully believe them to be good for 1.500 bbls Inside of sixty days. Take these things with the fact that we have exported inure relined oil in 1869 that in 1868, during the Same. period without creating any scarcity, but to the contrary an increase of stock, we cannot help but feel that 1869 will have its three dollar oil as well as any other year, and would not advise to buy a bar- . rel 'more than is actually needed from day to day.," „ _ - Business of the Mayor's Office.

Tues day morning he made an attack upon ono of the instructors or wardens of the estahlishment with a shovel, for which he was placed in the cell where he ter minated his existence, about half-past five o'clock, by taking the sheet from the bed, fastening one en of it to the bar across the upper portion of the window, then getting up in the window he fas tened the other end round his neck 'with a noose, and jumped down. Life was en tirely extinct when the body was dia. Covered. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Couldn't Collect It Honors, Price, residing on lfifth avenue, Third ward, started out in good spirits yesterday morning to collect a little ac count, but returned unsuccessful and disappointed, like many a collector be fore, her.

' According to his eaten- I lation a, small amount was due him, and it was this that she was commissioned to eecure. She waited upon Mr. Snyder, stated the case. and was astonished when informed that/ everything had been settled at the pro. per time. Persisting in her demands, and refusing to leave, the end of the con ference found her ejected from the prem ises. She then repaired to Alderman Lynch's office and made information for assault and battery against Snyder. He was arrested shortly afterward.and gave bail for a hearing. Fifty Dollars Gone. Tuesday ' , warning, a couple of Teutonic gentlemen called at a saloon on Penn street, near Canal, and slaked their thirsty throats with numerous glasses tl Of their favorite foaming ' beverage. Upon leaving, one of them, apparently oblivious to terr trial things, was per suaded by his friero to leave his pocket book, containing fifty dollars, in the hands of the saloon-keeper for safe keep ing. until they should return in the evening. True to the arrangement, one of the men called in the evening, se cured the pocketbook and went off, lie bad hardly been gone before f the other man, owner of the article, appeared on a similar errand, but , only to find himself the victim of a small confidence game. His friend; by ;this time, was out Of reach, and the most anxious search has failed to Alinovellhim slime. 0 I Arranging the Table. • There is scarce iy anything more at tractive than netitness and order in the , arrangement of the household table.

One man; wholes ro. celved $270,080, has not been consulted since 1854; another, wholasilved in ab. , solute idleness for forty-four years, has received i $150,000. There are, numerous cases of this kind. A. man, ever so clever. and useful is set aside, by some Foreign , Secretary, perhaps for a relative:or favor% its of his own,;and goes ,upon‘ the:retire& list when 80 years old, and fixes till 80,i receiving from 15,000 tie 10,000 a year .to live where he likes—fifty, years enjoying his otium sum digni.ate at the expense of people Who work very hard and stamen little at limes to pay their rates :and taxes.. ,The pleees in the Royal household, hon-. -arable sinecures, are a sort of Tension or reward for , . , 3 services.: ; The s e flange with the changes of Cabinets.'

P. , ME Life iterate in England. The British House of Lords, after I great deal of hesitation, has agreed ,to the second reading of a bill for the infusion of new blood into the House of Peers, by the creation of twenty-eight life peers that is to say, the appointment of that number of gentlemen by the Prime Min ister to sit during life in ,the British Sen ate; and the speedy passage of the bill through both.llouses of Parliament may be regarded as a certainty. Seven years must elapse before the whole number of the new ISe4iators can be appointed. The twenty-eight new peers are to be selected from six classes: first, Scotch or Irish peers who have not at presebt seats in the HouSe of Lords; second, • persons who have been members of the House of Commons for ten years; third, officers of the army and navy; fourth, persons who have held high judicial offices; fifth, ex civil servants of the crown;. sixth, per sons distinguished in the arts and sciences. This bill will establish ctn. important Principle in English Government—that of _a Representative Senate instead of a hereditary Legislature, and will pave the way for the total abolition of hereditary leg.islators, or for swamping them by the addition to. their numbers of *majority of repre sentative men. ,Mr. Gladstone, if he remains in power six years, 'will have the privilege-of strengthening hfin self, and his party, under this bill, by the• addition. of twenty members to the Lib eralside of the House of Lords. RHODE ISLAND'S postßonement of action on the XVth Article is connected with the wars of Sprague and Anthony, Senator Anthony is reported - to, have - Worked hard and openly to defOtt the Amendment. The ground upon Which professed Republicans base their opposi tion to the Amendment seems a foolish one. Rhode Island exacts a property qualification in naturalized voters. The Constitutional, Amendment providing that no man shall be deprived of the privilege of voting "on account of race, color, or prey haus condition 01 . servitude," would compel us, say the followers of 'Senator Anthony, to admit foreigners without any such qualification, and moet of them would vote Tor Sprague. This is a curious misunderitanding of language. Are Europeans of & different race from ourselves, or only of different nation? Te timid Republicans might as well do the thing handsomely while they are . about i 4 and argue that the same clause would-oblige us to admit aliens to the - sufrage without the qualif=tion of five years' residence.
