The Peraian War not Ended.—lt appears
by the Asia's sdvices that the report b rought
by the previous steamer that le Shah of Persia
had consented to accept the British ultimatum

Another Search for Sir John Franklin. —The

made in Canada for an expedition to go in

go to Quebec, and thence to the Arctic regions.

Philadelphia, by Messrs. Crofut & Bigelow, has
been removed to No. 5, Beekman st., Park
Bank building, New York, and has added as
coeditor, the celebrated novellist, Mrs. E. D.
E. N. Southworth, who will add greatly to that
already celebrated literary paper. We wish it
success.
ggrWe invite attention to the advertisement
for the bale of the Rock Hilt Furnace Proper

portunity for a moo of business vho wishes to

al property is very valuable, and will so hubt
afford rare chances for all who attend the sale,
to get superior articles at reduced prices. We
therefore recommend it as policy in our buil
ness men to attend.
NATIONAL ADDRESIL—On Tuesday, the 24th
ult., u promised, Rev. A. B. Still delivered a
National Address, letting forth the great evils
of slavery in a Republican Government. To
any that the Rev. gentleman did well, would be
too narrow an expression. Re spoke admira
bly, pointedly and nobly. He had fortified him
self with unanswerably arguments, and dealt
in facts so pointed and plain,. that every one
beheld the monster evil in its true position.—
It was a brilliant effort, and the attention paid
by the very large and intelligent audience, told
how deeply the subject touched their hearts.

SIIG.AR.
Molasses is now selling at sixty cents per
gallon in New Orleans. It is likely to reach a
still higher figure soon. Let every man who
has got a foot of ground plant the seed of the
Chinese cane. It can be made the most profit
able crop that is raised. Some gentlemen who
have tried it say that from two to four hundred
dollars worth can be produced from an acre
of ground. It will grow in our Northern States
probably as well as at the South. It has sue.
ceeded well in Vermont. It matures much
earlier than the Southern cane, and will be rea
dy for harvesting before the frosts come.
Let our farmers try it by all means. The
seeds can be obtained. One editor in the State
of Indiana says that the • farmers in that State
are taking hold of it in good earneit, and that
in a year or twolits people of the State will
be entirely independent -"all supplies from
abroad or from Louisiana. It could be raised
in Penns3l, ania in a sufficient quantity to sup.
ply the entire demand. And it would be a
very profitable production. Twenty dollars
worth of wheat is about as much as au acre
will produce on the average. But it is said
that two hundred dollars worth of sugar can
be produced on an acre at present prices. We
hope it will be tried 3n nearly every farm.—
Sugar is an article of universal use, and such
high prices are becoming burdensome, We
think the Chinese cane is being , introduced
just in time to supply a great public want.

for District Attorney of Philadelphia, is still
dragging its slow length along in the Phila
delphia Courts. Cassid..y, our readers will
remember, wos returned elected, and has late.
ly been attending to the duties °Nilo office.—
The investigation, as far as it has proceeded
discloses the most extensive frauds on the
part of those who voted for the Locofuco can
didate. It was shown, among other things,
that prior to the October election over two
thousand certificated of naturalization were
obtained from Benjamin Mifflin, printer, by
two or three persons, one a member of the
model police, which were doubtless all used
fraudulently at the State and Prestdential elec.
lions. Forged certificates, which Mr. Mifflin
believed to have come from his place were
proved to have been voted upon. On these
the signatures and seal were alt cpunterfeited.
The contestant, Mr. Mann has already made
out a pretty dear case, though whether he
will succeed in ousting the present incumbent
remains to be seen. •
BAD STATE Or THINGS AT WASHINGTON.-
The report of the Investigating Committee
charges four members of the lower House of
Congress with being guilty of taking bribes for
certain votes which they had given. The report
places these men in no enviable position, and
if guilty the deserve to be promptly expelled
from tht y positions they have disgraced. The
disclosures of the Committee have caused notch
excitement. It remains to be seen what de•
fence the accused will make to the House and
to the country.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
In the U. S. Senate, ou the 25th ult., the Sub. I
marine Telegraph bill was taken up, and after
considerable discussion, and various efforts to
defeat the project, the House amendments were i
agreed to, so that the project only wants the
sanction of the President The Tariff bill,—
that, we presume, passed by the House on Thurs.
day last—was made the unfinished business, at
the time of adjournment.
The amendment to the Minnesota State bill
was reconsidered and stricken out, and then
the bill passed as it came from the House, so
that it only wants the signature of the President
to become a law.
In the U. S. House of Representatives, the
Report of the Corruption Investigatiou Commit.
tee was antler discussion, and elicited some
caustic remarks. A motion offered by Mr.
1 Purviance, to fix today, at noon, for the trial
of Mr. Gilbert at the bar of the House, was re.
jected by 120 nays to 73 yeas ; but subsequent.
ly the House adjourned, in order to give Mr.
Gilbert a chance to bo heard in his defence.
In the State Senate, on the 25th, Mr. Dewitt
• was confirmed as Librarian by awote of 22 to
8. In the House, on the suggestion of Mr.
Getz, the Speaker, a committee was appointed
to investigate corrupt attempts alleged to have
been made by one of the reporters.

of Tennessee, previously alluded to, was renew.
,ed in the House, today, by the former throwing
some wafers into the face of Mr. Wright, while
he was speaking with a member in the seat ad.
joiuing that occupied by Mr. Sherman. The
excuse for the act of the latter was that Wright
looked insultingly at him while he M. talking
with the member in question, which insinuatiou
Mr. Wright denies. The latter at the same
time became very angry at the conduct of Sher.

In the Senate on the 27th, Mr. Trumbull pre.
seated a petition from the Republican mem-
Imre of the Indiana Legislature, asking the
speedy settlement of the contested Senatorial
caso from that State. 3.1 r. Tootubs, from the
committee on the subject, reported that it was
impossible to arrive at a conclusion without ta•
king testimony as to the legality of the tenure
by which the members of the Indiana State
Senate hold their seats. The report concluded
with a resolution, which lies over, directing that
testimony in the case be taken at Indianapolis.
A bill was passed for the construction of a line

Extraordinary Case of Needle
Mania —Three Hundred and!
Eighty-Three Needles extract-
ed from the Flesh of a Lady
and She Still Survives.
The subject woe a young lady, nineteen
years of age, of nervons temperament, very I
healthy, and the daughter of respectable far. , I
mer in Butternuts, Otsego county, N. Y.—.
She first came to my otlice, April 18th, 1853,
to have a needle extracted from her left arm,
which she said got in accidentally as she was
moving a bundle of carpet rags. This a me ,
diawaized sewing needle, was soon found and
extracted from the anterior eide of the fore I
arm, about midway between the wrist and et
bow. In less than a week she called again,l
enying she had another needle in her arm. I
examined uud found deep in the bend of the
arm, a hard substance, which proved to be a
needle similar to the first and accounted for
in a similar manner. One week after this the
arm was very much swollen, painful and prey
eased the appearance of malignant erysipelas,
which continued six days.
After the infiatnation and swelling had sub
sided, six needles were found, deep in the
flesh, about three inches from the elbow. May
29th, fourteen were taken out, higher and
more on the posterior aide of the arm, 30th,
seventeen were taken from the arm and shoul
ders. Some• of these were superficial, lying
just under the skin, but most of them lay deep
in the flesh, and a number under the the biceps
muscle. One, of large size, lay with two-thirds
its length imbedded in the brachial artery.—
One large darninkneedle was found lying di
rectly on the bone, at the intersection of the
dttlotid muscle ; this caused some intlamation
and suppuration, which led to its detection.—
June 4th, twelve were removed from the left
arm, two from the wrist, eleven from the left,
and one from the right brest. The whole
number extracted during the month of June,
was eighty-seven; September, ten; October
twenty-eight mostly from the left breast and
left side of the abdomen.
About the last of November, 1853, she was
Attacked with violent spasms, These contin
ued about three weeks, and subsequently a
large number of needles were found in all
parts of her left side, from the shoulder to the
knee. When apparently asleep she would
converse with her mother, and tell where the
needles might be found, but when awake she
could seldom be induced to speak of them.—
Also when in this sleeping or somnambulic
state, she was entirely unconscious of pain.
While cutting through deep muscle, or in the
sensitive parts, we never coal(' perceive a mo•
Lion indicative uf feeling, (n number were ex.
tracted in this sleeping state,) on the contrary,
when awake, she experienced acute pain, even
from the least incision.
pins—all of which had lain in the flesh a long
time ; some of them more than a year. These
were the last found, and it is hoped by all her
friends that there will be no recurrence of so
strange a mania.
The whole number extracted was, of sewing
needles, 237—and these were of all sizes--phis
67; darning needles, 2 ; hair pins, 5; knitting
needles and wire, each s—total, 383. Great
efforts were made on the part of the family to
detect her iu the act of inserting the needles,
but in vain. It was ascertained by compd.
son that most of them were taken from a box
of needles which had lain in the house for a
long time, Almost every means has been
resorted to find the reason for so strange a fan.
ey ; but nothing has yet developed it. She is
firin in her denial of knowing when, how, or
why she did it; simply saying "it must be that
Ido it, for I know no one else does." She is
perfectly sane on every other subject, although
the effect upon her general health has been
bad, yet during a great share of these years
of suffering she has performed her accustom•
ed portion of household duties.
Although those needles have been exhibited
toiksprolessors of several medical colleges,
witrrull details of,.the case, as well as to the
!are number of physicians in this State, yet
a suitable Lame has hardly been given for a
disease producing such effects. And when HO
many "doctors disagree," I shall go no farther
than to term it a retnarkble case of monoma•
nia. The whole ease has been oue of great
interest, anxiety and mystery than often comes
under the notice of the physician.
