Interesting to Parents. The following paragraph from a Lou don publication should arrest the atten tion of parents : Poisonous Colored Confectionary. The ."Lancet'' Commissioners, in re porting the result of their investigation." respecting colored confectionary, express their surprise at the extent to which dead ly and virulent poisons are daily made use of by the manufacturers of these ar ticles. One hundred and one samples were analoxd; and of the yellows, seven ty contained chromatc of lead and color ed anibroge; soveniy-wne of the reds contained cochineal, red lead, and bi-sul-phuret of mercury; eiht of the browns contained ferruginous earth-?, cither Vandyke, brown, umber, or sienna; two of the purples contained Prussian blue and cochineal; thirty-eight of the blue contained indigo, Prussian blue, Antwerp blue, aud a. sulphuret of sodium or alum ium; nineteen of the greens contained Brunswick green, consisting of a mixture of chromatc of lead and Prussian bluo, vcrditer or carbouatcbf copper, SeheulV green or arsenite of copper. The above colors were variously combined in differ- .ent cases, three and even four-poisons oc curring in the same parcel of confection ary. In four of the samples the colors were painted on with white lead or car bonate of lead; thirteen of the sample were adulterated with hydrated sulphate of lime; seventeen samples were adulter ated with wheat flour, three with potato flour, and one with arrow root.

Greene C. Bkonson was nomiuatod for Governor by acclamation, notwith standing there was in possession of t he Convention a letter from that gentleman declining the honor conferred upon him. A number of resolutions were adopted, of which the following is a summary : They re-affirm adherence to the Plat forms of the Baltimore Conventions of 134S and 1352; endorse the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress as to the right of the people of the Territories to frame their own laws; approve the recent act of Congress in regard to Nebraska nd Kansas, so far as it establishes the principle that the people of the Territo ries may legislate for their own welfare; strongly denounce the Administration lor interference iu the local politics of Xew York, its palpable and alarming invasion of State right?, and its unjustifiable and undisguised use of its patronage to con trol the State elections. The resolutions? also denounce any coalition with other partie?, and pledge their authors to rely upon the merits of their own party for success. The old Swamp 2iser. One of our Southern exchanges stales that there is now living in the swamp of the Little Pec Dec Jlivcr, South Carolina, and old man of the mOit singular charac ter.

A Pretty Little Croud. Mr. Frederick ivcmbcll, from the neighborhood of Bum- ue', Harrison county, Ohio, arrived in Steubenvillc, last Wednesday, by railway, with his wife and nineteen children twenty-one in all.

A correspondent writing to the Tri bune from Xew Orleans, under date of July 3d, says: Our city is very sickly. The first two weeks m June there were over 50 deaths a week of Asiatic cholera, and the mor tality was 30 -per cent, larger than same time la: t year. Lr..-t week there were over 320 deaths equal 2,500 a week inX. York city. O ver 100 died of sunstroke. The Yellow fever has made its appearance, and the reports from the cemeteries show two deatiis of yellow and one of black vomit.

Ravages of cholera in Barbadoes. From the Bermuda Advertiser of July 4. On Thursday last the schooner Phoe nix, Capt. Xathanicl Dunscomb, arrived from Barbadoes in fifteen days, at which place the cholera was fearfully raging, Up to the 13th ultimo the mortality deaths was one hundred and fifty to two hundred per day in Bridgetown alone and the malady was .still on the increase "iTTt .1 i r. ,i w nen uie puoenix icit tuere wa3 no abatement.

It is a curious circumstance, but we be lieve that no notice was taken duriuj: tlm debates of Congress on the Douglas bill of the fact that not only are both th new territories north of the compromise line, but that another territory remains soutu ol lianas which is yet to be organ ized. Thus if the slave power fail to secure Xebraska, lvansa.3 may be more easily won, and a both these chances are lost there is still another territory farther south about which there may be less un certainty. A more ingenious plan founded on the doctrine of chances could not have been i i i ... uoviseu. iy opening two territories at the same time to settlers, one at least, there was reason lo believe, might bo so cured. J his would be clear gain to the slave power for it is nortlrof the compro msse line, and by making Kansas a slave territory the unorganized territory lying oetwecn ivansas and Texas would cer tainly bo a slave territory also. If bot! shall become free territory, then by colo mzing tne remaining district lrom the south, the slave power will have lost noth ing aud tho compromise line will have been removed northward half a degree from 3G de. 30 min. to 37 degrees. The towu council of Marion, Ala., ixed the license for retailing liquor at lo00 per annum, thinking that this would prevent all applications. An eu- erprisiug individual was, however, about to open a shop, even at tins high iiguro, when the council met again and raised the ieeuse to 3000. The Crops. Letters from Wisconsin state that the Wheat crop will bo of an uimeard of abundance. Letters from Michigan also state that it will be very arge tiiere. Jn JNew York it will turn out an average crop, at least, it 13 said, notwithstanding the croaking about the bugs. The Morris and Essex Railroad Company, Complainants vs. John I. Blair and Oth ers, and the "vVarrsii Railroad Company, Defendants. This cause was called up on Monday of last week, and the argument closed on Friday. Messrs. Whelpey and Whitehead ap peared for complainants, and Messrs. Kreliughuyseu and J. P. Bradley for de fendants. The conflict between the Com panies originated iu tho location of their respective roads over part of the same ground under their charters. The Warren Railroad Company ob tained their charter on the 12th Februa ry, 1651, to construct a Railroad from near Xew Hampton, a point on tho Cen tral Railroad of N. J., to the Delaware Water Gap, a distance of 18 miles. Tho Morris aad Essex Railroad Company ob tained a supplement to their charter on the 19th February, 1851, to extend their road from Dover to tho Delaware Water Gap. It appears from the bill and an swer, that Blair and his associates arc deeply interested iu the construction of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad; a road leading from the Dela waro Water Gap to the Great Bend, on tho Susquehanna River, and their connec ting with tho Xew York and Eric Rail road and other roads, that the Northern Division of their road, leading from Scrantou, in th Lackawanna Yalley to the Great Bend, was by them constructed in 1851, and has since been in succccsful operation. Immediately thcreupon,Blair and his associates determined to construct tho Southern division of their road, from Seranlon to the Delaware Water Gap; having obtained, in 1S52 and .1853, the necessary legislation of the state of Penn sylvania for that purpose and a law authorizing the connection with the War ren Railroad, and the bridging of the of the River Delaware. Eaply in the winter of 1S53, Blair was engaged with several corps of engineers in the location of the Southern division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Warren Railroad ot Pa., and procuring the right of way for that road, all of which the answer alleges was well known to the Morris and Essex Kailroad Company. Blair had endeav ored to induce that Company, in the fall of 1852, and early in the winter of 1853, to extend their road and connect with the Pennsylvania road, on fair and equit able terms, j)ro rata on passengers and freight, for coal the same as any other company charged, which was declined on the part of the Morris aud Essex Rail road Company, they demanding a monop oly, of all the business and a pledge that the Warren Railroad should not be con structed to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. There ended the conference Blair immediately thereupon directed a practical engineer with his corps to locate the Warren Railroad, which route the en- ginecr had ou several occassions rccou- noitered and had selected the ground that the road must necessarily occupy. The Morris and Essex Railroad Company, knowing the inteutions of Blair, placed thnr nn'tncPH work to Innntn Hmir rv- teuton, the engineers of Each Company passed each other on the lino, one party nnct n,i ft, -nCf MM, of the two roads crossed each other at two points one point at the Vass Gap, near the Delaware, the other at tho an- ness Gap, eight miles east of the Dela ware. As soon as the Warren route was surveyed, books were opened, the stock ubsenbed, the Company at once duly , . r j ... j I and properly organized, the route adopted, a committee appointed to purcha.se the right of way, and the President, Blair, ordered to file the survey in the office oi the. Secretary of State; this was all done on the 4th March, m conformity to thc- chartcr. On the 8th March thereafter, at 11 o'clock A. M., Blair filed the sur vey of the Warren Railroad in the office of Secretary of State at 12 o'clock same day, the Morris aud Essex Railroad Company filed their survey, they having adontod the samo for their road. At early breakfast that morning, on arriving at Trenton, it was ascertained that Blair was ahead. Blair returned to Warren and comnle- ted the purchase by written contract of the land, iu thos-e conflicting passes, for the Warren R:nlrn;id. T!.n n nnt nf Mir.

Ulair immediately, for his eomnanv. took posession of the disputed territory, ' 1 m l put it under contract and commenced the construction of the Warren Railroad. The Morris and Essex Railroad Compa ny, being again defeated, determined uot to give up yet; they then filed a bill, and without notice to Jilair, or the Warren Railroad Company, somehow obtained an injunction, very unjairly, as is believed, irom an injunction master, and suspend ed further work on tho road. The chan ocllor referred tho cause to Abm. Brown ing, Esq., as master who heard the par tics, and decided the cause in every par ticular m tavor ot the Warren Railroad Company. Tho complainauts not yet sat isfied appealed to tho Court of ErrorsJ who having all heard the evidence am allegation of the learned cousol. nnani- mnnslv ronllrn.ml thn Anr.', nf !. tor in every particular.

The injustice done that company by the Morris & Essex Railroad Company is very great; near three million of dollars the cost of the Southern division of that road is useless, until the Warren Railroad is completed the Morris and Essex Railroad Compa ny have not only done a great moral wrong to the companies, but a great public wrong to the community, by delaying great work which is to be one of the main trunk lines from the East and West, North and South, not only for passengers nnd merchandize, but, for the Anthracite Coal of the Lackawanna Valley, which is now so much wanted, it is hoped that hereafter no injunction master will be found to grant an injunction for so slight a cause without full notice to the ad verso party, notwithstanding the application may bo asked for by some great corpor ation whose acts when investigated may entitle them to very little consideration. TRENTON. Astounding; Frauds. The New York financial circles were last week thrown into the greatest excite ment by the discovery of the most extcn sivo fraud ever brought to light iu this country. The announcement is no less serious than this, than an over issuo of stock in the X'. York and Xew-llavcn Railroad Company has been made to the amount of two millions of dollars. The President Mr. Robert Schuyler, was Transfer agent, and this over issue has been discovered by a committee of the Board of Director.5 appointed to look into the affairs of the Company. The fraud ulent issues were made, first in a single lot of Certificates for 10,000 shares; aud the remaiuder in smaller amounts and through a considerable period of time. The event is correctly characterized as a most astounding one in the magnitude of the sum involved, and the deliberate, wicked purpose with which the fraud was put upon the public, to the direct loss of millious to the stockholders, and the in direct loss of tens of millions in the in jury to the credit and reputation of other American railroad corporations and the market value of the property of their shareholders. From the Evening Post we learn that Robert Schuyler left home for Canada on Tuesday morning. The day before he left, on the 3d of July, he and his brother executed an assignment of all the proper ty belonging to the firm, as well as his individual property, to Messrs. Bowdoin & Barlow, attorneys, Xo. G5 Merchant's Exchange. Following upon the heels of the above fraud was discovered that Mr. Kyle, the Secretary of the X'ew York and Harlem Railroad Company, has overdrawn his account to the extent of four thousand shares of Harlem stock, amounting to 200,000. Schuyler is understood to be at the bottom of this fraud, and is prob ably more guilty than Mr. Kyle. There is another over issue of stock ad- fled to the list of Robert Schuyler's mis- d,oinSs- Acting as Transfer Agent of tllu xuuuu.ui umpauy, au o- ver issue 20,000 of its stock has been traced and the investigation has not been completed. This man, in whom the pub lie and his associates place unlimited confidence, held the following offices : Xew York and Xew Haven R. R. Co President and Transfer Clerk. Brooklyn and Jamaica R. R. Co q . secretary lIousatonic'R. R. Co., Transfer Agent Xaugatuck R. R. Co., Transfer Agent New Haven and Northampton R. R. Co Transfer Agent. Saratoga and Washington R. R. Go.
