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

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

THE
SWAfHP FOX:

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

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. Darr
ley, Esq. the greatest aitft-of this century
and his .beautiful pictures are thus brought
within the reach of the entire public. , ,f
The Mercury is. the oiduet and moat Srfnly

The Mercury, dunng thc twenty-one yeara.
of its prosperous existence, has pubhshed ii
larger nun.ber of popular original tales, ro
