SCIWICAL OPERATION. -A very neat Surgical ape
ratkto was performed, the other day. by our friend,Dr.
'D. McMcAr... A brother Printer of the city, bad for
souse thus besn troubled with two wens on his neck.
whieb were daily increasing in size, and promised to
bo very troublesome. He applied to Dr. McMeal,
who; be assures us, out them out with the least possi
ble psi n, and in a highly creditable manner. It is al
ways pleasant to record any instances of scientific at
tainments on the part of the young men of our country,
and we look upon this, and other cases, in the practice
of Dr. Mc. that have come to our knowledge, as giving
bright promiee of the future.
Tut. publish this morning an
other eacellent article on the Presidential question,from
our eonespandent "Cks 51113." lie the election is now
Over, politicians will turn their a: tention to a more im
pOrtant question than the local matters that have kept
tbsm engaged fur some mlntlis past, and we trust they
will be activt, in urging the claims of Pennsylvania to
the preference for the Presidential candidate.
THIGATIIC.—The Philadelphia Times say that Mr.
Rnaszt.t., of the Arch street Theatre, has leased and
will open the Theatre in this city, about the 20th inst.
Mr. Russell has the reputation of being a skilful) and
enterprising manager, and we hare no doubt but he
will, if he has taken the Theatre, produce such enter
atintripms as will make it worthy of patronage.
FROM RIO GRANDE
Bite brig Delaware, Captain Mercier, arrived at
Philadelphia on Thursday, from Rio Grande, which
she left on the 12th August, witha full cargo of hides,
bones, &c. Hides stand on board 10} a lie per
pound, principally barter. Salt was worth 40e per
bushel, on which the duty is 20 per cent on valuation
Political matters remain pretty much in the same state
as at last advice.% the insurgents against the Brazilian
Government were still in the same force in the interi
orruut, from their wants of arms and means, were
, unable to stand before the Government troops whenever
they came iu contact. In the reemare 250 of the lat
ter put to flight near one thousand of the rebels; still
they gave much annoyance to the loyalists. and inter
rupt the trade of the Province.—N. Y. Eve. Post.
LOSS OF TIIE BRIG EFFORT BY FIRE
The brig Effort., Capt. Konoman, which sailed hence
yesterday morning bound to Port Leon, Florida. anch
ored last evening at the Narrows, VI. here she remained
during the night on account of head winds. About 5
o'clock this morning she was discovered to be on fire in
the after hold, under the cabin, which was on deck.—
Every effort was immediately made to extinguish the
*lames, but without success. The condition of the ves
sel was discovered by the steamer Wave, which was
ortrusately lying at the Quarantine Ground and home
, lately proceeded to her assistance. Fi:-.ding it im
-1 oaaible to save her, the steamer took her in tow, and
uther ashore on the Long Island side, a short distance
1 slow Owl's Head. There she was boarded by some
toor 30 persons from the shore. A short time after
this, and while those persons were at work with the
ew an explosion took place, which entirely destroy
s lher stern and after part of her deck.
Some ten or twenty persons were mote or less in
.l wed, but none of them dangerously. The captain
I ad his wife on hoard, who, with Mr. T. B. Nothans,
ete only passenger. had fortunately gone on shore as
soon as the brig struck. So rapid was the progress
f the flames that it was impossible to save a single ar
'l.ele from the cabin, and those belonging aft lost every
thing except the. clothes in which they stood. Mr.
Nathatts, the passenger, had alma. $3OOO in goods
.•11 beard, and .?•400 in gold in his trunk, which togeth
.. r with his clothes were entirely destroyed. On these
o aides, which constituted his whole property, he had
1;1000 insured. The brig's cargo, which consisted of
Iry goads and groceries, was quite valuable, together
.with the vessel, will le:.• a total loss. The vessel was
artiv owned by Captain Knopm:tn, and was insured
't 'or $12003. No explanation can be given as to the or
igin of the tire, and it was supposed the explosion was
caused by some barrels of liquor, which were stnwed
under the cabin.—N. Y. Jour. Ith inst.
