J. Portrait of Robert Bonner. The New York Weekly. This pop ular sto'ry paper, of April J3, contains an accurate (and the oulj) likeneas ever published of Robert Bonner, the pro prietor of the JSknv York Ledger. The jcw York Weekly is without exception the bert story paper publihed. Its list of regular contributors is graced with the names of the rnoat t-parkling writers of the day. In the present number wo per ceive that the opening chapters of an ex citing Revolutionary Romance are given- It is from the pen of Dr. J. II. Robinson, author of "JN7c7; Whiffles, ' etc., and is en titled "ONE-EYED SAUL ; or, The To ry League of Seven - A Tale of South Carolina.' Bayard Taylor in the New York Mercu ry. The exclusive engagement, by the pro prietors of the New York Mercury, of the talanted American tourist and author, Bayard Taylor, Esq., is among the most Lrilliant of the many journalistic enter prises of this journalistic age; - The an nouncement of this arrangement has been greeted with a furore of minglod surprise and admiration, on the part of the public, and not ou!y.ba3 the literary world been aroused to a decided pitch of excitement but all other circles have likewise been brought to th& qui-vive oi expectation and interest. The variety- and piquancy of Mr. Tay lor's adventures the romantic and in teresting ecenes tho thrilling incidents among which his path has lain, and the re&b, sprightly", ftrictly coriscicncious fityle of his. writings, will render them pe culiarly appropriate to the eolumns of a paper that aims to be and is, at once brilliant and chaste in tone. The gener al title, chosen for these contributions, is "Stray Chapters op Life and Trav el" a simple but expressive head, un der which, not only the characters and customs of other lands will be portrayed, but tho voyager's own personal adven tures, vicissitudes, and fortunes, sad and merry, tragio and comic, also. Fbe firrt of these "Chapters," which has just appealed in. the Jty.ERCUttY for ApriP30th,is entitled "The First Jour key I Ever Made," and is all that eould possibly be desired, for fascinating interest, lubtruction, and amusement, Ihe author considers this Gret journey to have been, perhaps, the most interesting of a ny, and he has ccrtaiuly made a glorious hit in describing it. Tho recent engagement of our great American artist, Felix 0. C. Darley, was a master-stroke of enterprise on the pari of the Mercury, and indicated what their second coupdetat corroborates that the proprietors intend to employ the very best talent, in order to make the ve ry best paper. Darley is uniAersally ac knowledged to be the most talanted art ist now living, vho?o works are engraved upon wood. England baa her Gilbert and Leech; France has her Gavarni and Ch am, but our own Darley combines the best qualities of all the picturesque ap preciation of Gilbert the humor of Leech the masterly effects and rendi tion of character Gavarni tho love of fun and satire that have made the Paris Charivari what it is all are un der the control of Darley; and when two such instruments as his peucil and Bay ard Taylor's pen are brought together, to enrich the columns of a family paper, we may indeed wonder at the progress of weekly literature, and the enterprise of publishers. The Proprietors of the Mercury de-J serve great credit for having made this acquisition to their already brilliant corps of contributors, and although the expense has unquestionably been enormous, there is not a partiole of doubt that the read ing public will most gladly second their efforts to give additional lustre and so lidity to home reading. As might naturally be espectod, the demand, for the Mercury of April 30th containing the Grst of Bayard Taylor's journeys, is eotirely unparallcd in news paper history, and the rush for it, at atl the book stores and news depots through out the country, plainly attests" the im mense popularity of the talanted traveler. A further proof in the same direction, if further proof were desired, may be found in the fact, that the subscriptions received by Messrs. Caldwell, Southworth and Whitney, the proprietors of the Mercu ry, since the acouneement of Bayard Taylor's engagement, amount, as we are crediblj- informed, to over Five Hundred Do'Iars a Lay, in addition to the enor mous sales of booksellers and news a- renUd But this, perhaps, is hardly to be won dered at cither, whon we consider that the New York Mercury is acknowledged to be the largest, cheapest, and best lit erary journal in America, being a large qucrto sheet, filled with purely original matter frem Grst to lat, for which only two do!lsrs7?V annum is charged, with as liberal a reduction to clubs as is made by other papers of half its size and less than half its merit! CS?"We commend the following able and pertinent speech delivered at the late Iarrisburg Anti-Lecoropton Democratic Convention, by Attorney General Knox. It clearly stis forth the nature and char acter of tho sale of the State Canals; idiows Gov. Packer's relation to the same, and proves beyond o doubt that, the Gov. had no choice bat to sanction the sale; it plainly gies the lie to the slanderous re potts which the office holders arc circu lating in order to make the Gov.'s Admin Utration unpopular in the eyes of the un informed. Justice is justice, and let those to whom it is due have 5t : Judge Knox was the next speaker. lie approved most heart ly of the address and resolutions, and especially he approved the resolution denouncing tho Convention of the lGth of March last and repudiating itscBudidates. "Applause.! Ilehadnoob- jection to the men nominated he respect ed tLem, and believed that they were good men. With one he concurred, and with the other he disagreed relative to certain great current public quctions; yet none of those opposed to the Administration at Washington can consistently support them Applause ' Every vote giveu for them in October will be one counted for Mr Buchanan. As the' had made their bed so let them lie. Applause. Is the charge of baseness and treaoho ry against the Federal Administration true? Who can doubt it ! It is for this reason, and because the men ho acted with were true to Democratic principles, that they could claim proudly the deep affection of tho Democratic masses. Applause. When organizations ceases to do justice to all sections, and are faith less to the maintenance of great princi ples for which they are created they no longer deserve allegiance. Applause Judge Knox then made a lucid exposi tion of the priuciplc of popular sovereign ty; showed how the Democratic party was committed to its support and how neces sary its maintenance was to the harmony and progress of the Union. lie then proceeded to refer to another question wbioh he said perhaps more im mediately interested the Convention, be cause it was a question in regard to our publio policy and home acts. Every mem ber of the Convention was aware that the Governor of Pennidyvania had been tra dcued and vilifled, upon the ground of his conduct in the sale of the State ca nals. In 1S57, tho Legislature of Pennsylva nia passsod an act authorizing the sale of the main line of oar public improvements. The sale was made to. tho .Pennsylvania nia Railroad Company. Afterwards, a portion of tho bill passed was declared unconstitutional. When the Legislature of L85.S assembled at Harrisburg, it was discovered that there was almost a unani mous sentiment in favor of the sale of the balance of the canals, the two branches, but there was a difference of opinion as to the manner of the sale. Some were in favor of selling them at publio sale for the highest which coald be obtained, without regard to the purchasers; whilst others of our legislators werrio favor of disposing of the two branch canals, which remained as the property of the State, in Buch a manner as would insure the completion of a great public highway then in process of construction the Sunbury and Erie Railroad.. After a long contest, the Le gislature parsed au act authorizing the sale of tbe.'branchca to the Sunbury . and Erie load for 3,500,000; and he here said that that bill was passed without in terference of auy kind on the part of the State Administration, and, up to the time the bill came before the Governor he did not believe that its frionds knew wtat his actiou would be upon it, whether it wouid bo favorable or otherwise. There had been no interference by the Governor or his Administration, cither in favor of or against the bill, whilst it was before the Legislature. It was signed. It gave aid to an important work which passed thro' the section of country in which the Gov ernor resided; the road ran through one hundred miles of the district he repre sented in tbe Senate; bis own personal friends, his own people, the men he had known intimately, and the country he knew well were deeply interested in the tbe measure, and he gave his sanction to the bill, which had already been sanc tioned by large majorities in both branch es of the Legislature. Tho bill contained a provision that if tho company should resell the canals and and realize over 3,500,000 by their sale, that 75 per cent, of the excess should be paid to tho State, and it is also provided that no resale by the company should be made without the a?ent of the Governor. Uuder the sale, which was completed to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, the company had absolute right of prop erty in these public works. It was not bouud to sell them, but could cither keep them and operate them itself, or could lease them to other parties or sell them. There was no power given the Governor to make a contract for their sale; there was no power given him to force the Sun bury and Erie Railroad Company to sell; tbe property was the company's with the simple provision, that if it did bcII for o ver $3,500,000, that 75 per cent, of all such excess should go into tho coffers of the State. A sale was made of those public works, and particular objection has been made because the Governor ap proved of tho sale of the Delaware Divis ion to the Delaware Division Canal Com pany lor 1,775,000, when an offer of a higher price had been made for it. He would state the facts in reference to that matter. Great efforts had been made by the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company to sell the Delaware Division to tho Le high Coal and Navigation Company. A correspondence took place between the parties, but the Sunbury and Erie Rail road Company asked $2,000,000 for the work, and tbe Lehigb Coal and Naviga tion refused to pay that much. The best offer the company would make was 1, 500,000; and when it was likely that the sale to that company for a higher price would be a failure,-an effort was made bv the President and Directors of the Sun bury and Erie Railroad Company to in duce others to buy, and on association of individuals iu Philadelphia, composed of many of the most and influential men there men of the largest means, and of excellent reputation as men of business and citizens was formed and an offer made by thein to purchase tbe Delaware Division for $1,775,000. These gentle men, before they completed their orgam zation and made their arrangements to aise the money to pay for these works, (for this large sum had to be paid in mon ey,) asked that the contract of sale should be submitted to the Governor, and that he'should state whether, if it was carried that he would give his assent to it or not. The president of tbe company submitted the proposed contract to the Governor and asked him to assent to it, stating that it was necessary that it should be known whether ho would or would not assent to it before it was finally completed. The Governor then said to the president of the company, that if that was the best con tract he would not withold his assent to it, though he desired the best price ob tained. This was communicated to tho proposed purchasers who went on to com plete their organization. Tbe deeds and mortgages were drawn up the associa tion was formed the money was raised, and the first instalment was paid. Then it was, after all this was done, after the word of tho Governor bad passod, that if that was the best contract that could bo made, and he was assured that it was, that he would give it his assent after this bad been communicated to these gentle men, and the contract had been olosed betwccD the parties, and when the papers came to bo executed, on the very morn ing when that was done, another party stepped in, and offered more for the division. These gentlemen appeal ed to tho Governor to carry out their contract, and said they had gone to the expeu.se of making this contract with the assurance that he approved of it, and hod paid their money on tho faith of this as surance. Those persons had stood by, and had seen tho purohaso made without making an offer, and when it was com pleted they came in and offered a higher price, and wanted to reopen the matter. The Governor thought then, and thinks still, that it was nob his duty to withhold his assent, and I ask whether any honest man would havo acted otherwise than be did. Suppose either of you had agreed to sell your farm at a oortain price, and the contract had been completed, and you had received tho first instalment and that after you had signed the deed another man should come in and offer to givo you more for the laud, could you as an hon orable man refuse to carry out your con tract, already made! If you could not, do you ask Governor Packer, who is en trusted with the honor as well as the in terests of the State to do that which an honest man would not do in his own bus iness 7 i Because, the Geyernor gavo his assent he has been abused and vilified; but it is a more pretence, and they try to make political capital out of this, when, ia re ality, the. State Administration baa brot down upon it every opposition beeauso it refused to agreo with the National Ad ministration on the Lecompton question. Now, gentlemen, let me congratulate you and myself upon the fact that, notwith standing the pronunciamento that was is sued .by'my friend Mr. Tylerwhols cali co nairman of tbe Democratic State Cen tral Committee), against this Convention. it appearsthatyou have had thehardihood & the presumption to assemblchore to-day to take your position, and to let your de termination be known that you will stand by that;position regardless of the conse quences. This is no time for timid coun sels or timid men. Let those who hesi tate in entering upon this movement re tire from it until they find that it is one in which they oan take part with perfect safety. Cheers. We want able, deci ded, and energetic men to carry forward this movement and will surely triumph. it is merely a question of time that is all and we can afford to wait: wo can afford to.be beaten, lo bo defoated, if it must be so: but let us appeal to the peo ple of Pennsylvania; let us appeal to the people ot every Northern and Southern Stato in the Union, to say whether the position we havo taken here to-day is not the carrect one, and if so it must be tri umphant in tho end. Mr. Knox concluded his remarks amid the most enthusiastic applause. An Extensive Gang of.Receivers Discover-, ea several .arrests and 53.0UU worth of Goods Eecoved. The most important arrests that have been made by the poliece of New York city for some time were made on Saturdav. Ten receivers of stolen goods were arret ted in tho city and in Hackensack, N. J. Ihe arrested parties all belong to the samo gang, come JU more are suppos ed to bo associated with them. Their head-quartes were in the 1 1th Ward. The following are tho circumstances con nected with the discovery of the alleged receivers and their arrests Capt. Squires, of the 11th Ward, suspected Wm. Mcnd- lebone, a German liviug at No. 77 Ave nue C, of being a receiver of stolen goods. A few days since, accompanied by some officers, he mado a descent on Mendlebone's placo-but found nothing out of the way. On Friday night, an extensive robbery having just been committed in that vicinity ho made a second descent. This time ho was more successful, the goods which had just been stolen being found there. Mr. Mendlebone was not at home, but his wife and four persons in the houso, giving their names as John Ding, Mary Droll and Mary Reich wero taken into cuitody and lock ed ur. The prisoners, while in their cells, entered into conversation with one anoth er in regard to their private affairs, when. from remarks wbioh escaped . them, the poliece gleaned that they were confeder ated with other receivers, whose head quarters were at Hackensack, N. J. Two officers were accordingly dispatch ed to Haokensack with instructions to procure tbe assistance of Sheriff Beatty, of that county, which they did. After looking pretty thoroughly about the town, one house seemed to them to contain per sons of rather suspicious" "boaring. It was determined to resort to stratagem, which proved as successful as it was bold. One of tbe officers knocked at the door, and being-admitted, announced himself as a messenger from Mr. Mendlebone Unfolding the late descent on Mr. M.'s house in New York, he stated that offi cers were then on their way to Hacken sack, and that Mr. M. had sent word to pack immediately all the goods they had on hand and get them on to Philadelphia forthwith. Ihe story was believed, ano (he packing was eutcred upon instantly, half an hour $3,500 worth of uncut silks, velvets and other costly goods were pack ed, the Philadelphia direction painted on the boxes, and carmen ready to convey them to tho railroad depot. At this cri sis the goods were seized and tbe victims of tbe stratagem, five in number, arrest ed. The prisoners gave their names as Frederick Ilediger, Christian Rediger, John Vecott, Michael Droll and Eliza beth Levick. Tbe goods embrace shawls, silks, cloths, clothing, cutlery, fanoy goods, and almost everything imaginable to the value of over .3,000. A bank Lbook was also found, showing over Si), 000 deposited the proceeds, no doubt of dishonesty. Tho officers, on their return to tho oity, succeeded in arresting Mrs. Mendlebone, the wife of the alleged re ceiver, in Avenue C. It is reported that there are some 30 persons connected with the gang. A Man Converted into A Candle. In Cincinnati, a few weeks since, a man fell headforemost through a hatchway in a warehouse, a distance of fifteen feet, 6triking a barrel of lard and forcing his cranium through the head of the barrel into the grease, burying him to the depth of two feet and leaving his legs sticking un in the air. iieforc bo could suffocate he was drawn out, looking like a mam moth candle with a double wick. A precocious youngster, nineteen years old, named John O Dounell, is on a trial in St Louis for being married to thrco wives at the same time. The Latest News.

A TALE OF THE TIMES AND FEATS OF MARION, BY GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ. Author of the "The Orange-Girl, r.PVpnire.' ''The Swamp Steed," "Rube the Ranger," etc. etc. will be commenced in THE HEW YORK MERCURY Or Saturday, April 30, 1859, Now ready at all News Depots & Bookstores. No character in history offers a belter pub- ject for the romancer, than that of Marion, or, as he was familiarly calied, "THE SWAMP FOX," from the immense ingenuity of his stratagems and devices for misleading and deciviijg the enemy, his thorough luiowledgeof the woods, forests, fields, and swamps of his native re gion, where he and his gallant band were perfectly at home, while their enemies be came lost and bewildered in the labyrinthine mazes of undergrowth and morass. The story above announced is a true reflex of those scenes and times, and its talented author has most vividly portrayed, therein, the matiy"exciting incidents antTaccitrcnts ol a tenacious and indefatigable struggle for Liberty, pursued under the most adverse cir cumstances. Every chapter is replete with exciting and romantic interest, historically accurate, but with a sparkling web of poetry woven through it, which makes it at once a brilliant story and a veracious record. The strongly-written descriptions of events the ambuscade the sudden sortie the night at tack the wild charge and repulse are all wonderful as. examples of word-painting, and equally true to the actual facts. In addition to these scenes of heroism and lofty dnring, the Swamp Fox is not wirhout the gentle charm of a love-story, for the work ing and effects of the tender passion are de picted in its pages, as trucly and artistically as the sterner emotions, rendering the tale a perfect picture of life and character in the Days of the Revolution, which cannot fail to appeal to the admiration, and gratify the taste of every readcrwho has a spark of true patriotism in his soul. The peculiar power and interest with which the gifted author, Geo. Albany, Esq., de scribes the thrilling period, is a guarantee of the excellence of this truelv magnificent Historical Romance. The vivid delineation of character, the depth of thought, the fas cination of style, the picturesque beauty of description, and, in a word, the power of lan guage he commands, all combine to render him one one of the most brilliant writers of the age, while his great appreciation of and sympathy with the pioneers in the cause of universal noeriy give nun a grasp ot Kevo- lutionary subjects possessed by very few oth ers. This has enabled him, in the Swamp vox, to exli!b:t the life and adventures of MARION AND UIS MEN as they really were, and to do fit homage to that deliberate valor, that unyielding patriot ism, which, m a few noble spirits, defying danger, and abote the scenes of privation, could keep alive the sacred fires of liberty in the thick swamps and dense and gloomy for ests asking nothing, .yielding, nothing, and only leaving the field the belter lo re-enter it for the combat) We take to ourselves some credit, fur hav ing secured (or our columns the chefs a"ccuv- res of ibis master's pen, but we inteded to give the New IToi'Ii Mcrcszry a still higher prestige than ever. We be lieve it is already the best and largest slory paper in" the world, and we contemplate ma king it belter and better, with every succes sive number, in spite of all expense and op position. BAYARD TAYLOR ENGAGED EXCLUSIVELY FOR. THE NEW YORK MERCURY! At a very heavy expense we have succee ded in securing the celebrated Poet, Author and Tourist, whose charminff letters from foreign lands have long kept the world de lighted and interested, BAYAni) TAYLOR, E. who will hereafter make the Mercury the only rccipent of his inestimable SKETCH ES of TRAVEL, one of which will up pea r every week. Wo have the happiness to announce, there fore, that in the New York Mercury for April 30th, 1859, will be commenced STRAY CHAPTERS OF LIFE and TRAVEL, BY ISAYAKD TAYLOR, the initiatory article being entitled TIic First Journey I ever made,' which is considered by the author as it un questionably will be by the public to bejiis most interesting adventure since the outset of the Great American Traveler, and cannot fail to be of interest to all. These delight ful articles will bo beautifully illustrated with original designs, in the highest style of the art-, portraying the scenes and characters de scribed in the most graphic manner. This new feature is a most valuable and instructive one, suited lo both young and old, and will render The JSTew York Mercury worthy of a leading place, as the moat re fined and elegant of all family papers. Since the first announcement of our cn sacement with Mr. Taylor, we have rer ceived a flood of inquiries from all parts of the Union, relative to the enterprise, show ing that public expectation is on tip-toe to learn the particulars regarding the charac ter of his contributions. As it is impossible for us to answer these iu detail, we can only refer our friends and correspondents to the New York Mercury for April SO, where the first of these sparkling and, popu lar sketches will be found. As no other American has ever traveled so extensively as Bayard Taylor, and no other traveler can see things with the eyes of America, we need not further eulogize the value of these emanations of his mind and observation, to the reading public. It is suf ficient to say that they will greatly enhance the high character that the Mercury has ev er maintained, and that has heretofore rost ed upon many causes, some of the most im portant of which may.besummed upas follows? The Mercury employs more literary talent than any other paper. The Mercury pays more, and higher pri ces for that talent, than any other p?.per. The Mercury is constantly announcing new, startling, and brilliaut additions-to its already unrivaled fund of attractions. " '. The Mercury, is. illustrated by F. 0.,C.
