1 !i«r I onrth ?>( July In Europe?lnterestingCelebration.

The celebration* of the Fourth of July inEurope this year, have h«n tiunsually Inter-esting. in fjt. Petersburg!! tho day was cele-brated by all the American* sofoutning in thatcity, and lit the ovening our Minister, Mr.Pickens, gave a bull, Which was welt attendedb> the court generally. The most interestingcommemoration, however, took place iu Ilre-nien. Six American vessels in port were beau-tifully decorated, and the commanders kept"open ships" f!l with collation* alwaysou the table. Ihe celobfrttlrrri of thtl day tookplace at the limine of a contein)>orai*y and ac-quaintance of Washington. The interestingwcasion is thus described in a lettor to the N.Y. Herald :

In the year 170T, Alderman Everhard I)eli-us, our vegetable hoet, then a yoniiß man of?-V, \v:is s :>m to tjpft ' tilted ntatf- bv t%e housewith which he - .as connected, for tHeptirposeot ostabllstiiiic business relations between theStates and the ItatiKe towns. Washington,then in retirement at Mount Vernon, becameinterest, d in the project ot the enterprisingyoung merchant, and invited him to visit hishoi.se The invitation was accepted :he waskindlyreceived, and had the distinguishedhonor of dining then and there with the im-mortal patriot, Remaining: in America sometime, he was a voliimwr, as he himself savs ina speech Which follows, in Oapt. Mollirms-worth s troop of horse. The old uniform hethen wore he ha#still in his possession. Foryears this venerable ttlan ha.' kept the portraitof \\ ashingtott at the head of his bed, so situ-ated that on awaking ibis picture is the flrstobject on whidi hisses fall, Old-fashioned,time-stained portraits of Adams. Jefferson,and tome of the other Presidents are disposedabout the walls. The devotion of the Alder-man to the memory of Washington, and thereligions care with which be lias jire-ser\ed the mementoes, and celebrated theanniversaries of those days, were snllicieirtto make him an object of affectionate in-terest to every American citizen, lie in-vited all the An or loans in firemen to visithim and breakfast at his country seat, at10 o'clock, Monday, the Fourth of July.?Headed, therefore, by our Minister and Con-sul, a procession of Americans?among others,Mr. Oilier, Consul at Hamburg; Lieut. Boyd,Cnited States Navy, and lady, from lihiladol-phia; Mr. May and lady, from New Orleans,Ac.?visited the Alderman at the hour ap-pointed,and were received by him with a cor-diality hardly to be expected" from one so wellstricken iu years. leaning upon the arm ofGovernor Wright, he was able to lead hisguests about his beautiful grounds, tind after-wards to do the honors at the table better,perhaps, tlran many a younger man. In theroom occupied by the eoirtpttnv during break-fast, hr has fur fifty yeaH celebraH-d the time-honored fourth. Around tft'e walls \vere tolie seen numbers of old pictures, representingWashington in various situations; and herealsu were many interesting episodes of Ameri-can history. As long; as he could remember,said his son?a man of forty years and up-wards?"those old pictures have huug justwhere you see tliem now."

To givp the words of all upon seeing thevenerable I'fan, ho, as theCon*ul from Ham-burg remark'*i, |'t>y |i)s hometo our hearts the picture of the father of hisCountry," would he impossible.

Mr. Oilier, theConsul, rose, and said thatbis position here as ,lie immediate representa-tive of his government, made it incumbentupon him (a ceremony he performed with thegreatest pleasure) to introduce the companyassembled. This he did in a short speech,allud-ing especially and with much feeiing to ourrespective host, and wishingthat his life mightlong be spared to Ins family, his friends, andthe Americans who were proud to be honoredwith his acquaintance,

Theaged gentleman then slowly arose, and,with a clear but trembling voice,"read the fol-lowingaddress amid the most impressive si-lence:

Gentlemen?l salutN you with hearty wel-come at my farm. Rosenthal, and return mythanks to your worthyConsul, Mr. Oilier, forhaving given me this opportunity of celebrat-ing the Fourth of July in this circle of Amer-ican citizens. I feel myself highly honoredby tho visit of his Excellency, G >v. Wright,your present Minister at Berlin, the Court ofPrussia, to whom 1 am much obliged for a va-luable present of his books on agricultureandAmerican seeds. At the age of eighty-threeyears, 1 could hardly hope to celebrate thisday, so dear to thecitizensand residents of theUnited States of America. It was fnyear 17i»7. then a resident <-t Baltimore, and avolunteer in Captain Hollingsworth's troop of

that I celebrated this d.->y the first time,it being my intention to remain asa citizcn inthat laud of liberty. Although sixty-twoyears have since passed, 1 have never omittedto celebrate the Fourth of July as a citizen ofthe free iiariseatic city of Bremen, which is somuch connected with our trar.satlantic friendsin commerce and navigation. I was honoredwith an invitation to celebrate this day withSenator Adaiui, but could not accept, being infamily mourning. 1 beg leave to propose asmy toast the words which the American pa-triots of 1770 expressed in the I>eclaration ofindependenceof thirteen States?"That the in-crease of territory, population, and wealth,may never disturb the harmony of the (nowthirty-three)States, nor weaken theconfidencein the protection of Divine Providence."

'-Hail Columbia, happy land."At the close of this address, the "Star Span-

gledBanner" was sung by ourConsul at Ham -

burg, all joining in tho'cnofns. The Ministerhaving made some parting remarks, we took iour leave, carrying with us the recollection ofan occasion such as few or none can boast ofon this or the other side of the water. Thisvisit, however, was but an episode in the cele-bration of the day. The dinner proper wasgiven by another remarkable man, it lover ofour country, a pioneer of Qermttn commercewith America, and a friend of John Randolph?the agedSenator Adami. At about the closeof the war, in I*ls, Senator Adami, then ayoung merchant, made a voyage to Americawith the same purposes which had broughtthe Alderman thither eighteen years liefore.?There being no vessel up for the States, hetook passage on a British ship, the WindsorCastle, bound for Halifax. When twenty daysout, they fell in with an American brig carry-ing ten guns, which fir-Nl into tln'm, unci aftera short engagement, c npelled them to striketheir colors. He wa-> taken to Norfolk, andthus reached the United States in spi'e ofhim-self, bnt a* a prisoner. He was, however, soonreleased, and remained in Richmond, Va.,making the acquaintance of most ot the emi-nent men of the day, especially of the Sage ofRoanoke. He became engaged in business withCommodore Ferry, whofor several years actedas supercargo on ships chartered by the houseof Adami «V < 'o. It is a creditable evidence ofthe fidelity of the Commodore to his old at-tachments, that on his return from Japan, inIt-.Vt, he made a long detour, viaRremen, solelyto visit his forirter friend,the now Senator Ailn-

-ICards had been issued for the dinner, at fouro'clock, at his country seat, near Sebalds-brtick, a small villagethree miles distant fromRremen. At that time we were rolling along

the magnificent carriage-way, lined with no-ble oaks and fragrant with llowers, which ledfrom the road to the residence of the Senator.On every gable-end and peak, miniature Ame-rican andBremen flags were gaily (lunging.Our host received the guests at the door withelegant east* and warmth ot a gentlemanoi toeOld Virginia school, and introduced them titonce to the various Senators and other celeb-rities who were present to give eelat to the oc-casion. At the proj>er time, the dming-hallwax thrown open, and the ceremonies at the

| table commenced.The toasts at the dinner were intenselypat-

riotic, and the evening passed off very satis-factorily. The memory of th« gallantLieut.

! Herndon was made the subject of some re-j marks, in reply to a toast to the Americannavy.

Tier«om of Aastrtaa Drtr«t.Mr. Haj-iaondf in his last letter to th* NewYork Titties, attrlfmtt* the defeat of the Aus-trian* at Stftftrfno t9 baft geuefatahip :

?*«?»«\u2666 Moreover,that iom<-inexplicablecaoeoparaiyaseo the Austrian ar-my and place* it substantially at the mercy o!tao Aulas. Iu constant snccessire defeats anperfectly unaccountable upon any ordinaryhypotheoUof military operations. Its forces-are very large and well appointed: its gene-mis are men of ability, ex|x*ri£&£c and un-questioned courage; its artillery is numerousand well handled: its eavalry is acknowledgedto he the best in Europe; its soldiers are bravefirm and loyal, and its positions have in near-lyevery case been selected with skill and ad-mirable military judgment. Yet in everv casealt tins lias fcvflMed tljem nothing. Promising81 their plan* might be, the decisive mo-ment came, tomtthing happened to thwarithem nil. Just when everybody expectedthem to inarch upon Turin and hold the Pied-monteso npitnl, they halted, and then cum-menced the rstreat, which, up to this time, ha*not Uen arfefted. At Magenta they held avery strong position,?fofight Well,but part oitheir forces were too for away to hi' broughtinto action, and they were beaten. And atSalferino they had a position, which, I havethe authority of astatfofficer in the Piedmon-tese army for saying.?s,ooo men nucht to haveheld against ten times their number,?or, infact, again*! rtny power that could'have beenbrought to ttpon them. They defended itvigorously,?fought well, ?Inflicted upon theFrench fur heavier losses than theythemselvessustained,?and icith/lreir while more than adozen heavy batteries of their artillery hadremained silent from the beginning, and whilemassesof their infantry still stood unengaged.

At 1 o'clock they had actually ljeateu thePied montese, and if what seems to have beentheir original plan had been carried out, ant!they had at that moment thrown the whole oitheir disposable force upon the French, theycould scarcely lia\e failed to break them, andwin the day. Several times, during the heatof the battle, McMalion'S whole Hank was ex-posed to them?yet they suffered themselvesto lie netefri'd frjjm assniling it by Frenchlicht ca\airy, and KpeEtnliy by a body olChasseurs d'Afrique, under < apt. Bonaparte?who manoeuvred for hours iu so masterly amanneras actually to menace the enemy intoan inactivity fatal to themselves. Their ar-tillery completely swept the sides of the hillsround Solferino?and twice they actuallydrove Hack the French, who attempted tostorm the heights. They were strongly post-ed in til? stent' houses nnd narrow streets, andin the cemetery had highs strong, thick walls,which protected them against the French lire,and gave them an immense advantage overthem.

How it happened that with such odds intheir favor, they should have been beaten,many able militarycritics have been puzzledto explain. The French assault was prompt,vigorous and wonderfully impetuous; and theEmperor Napoleon, liy the rapid energy withwhich he brought up his scattered forces, themoment he saw a but tie was impending,(forup to sunrise of that day he had no expecta-tion of u general engagement,) reflects uponhim the highest possible credit as a command-er and a general. But in spileofall this, theremust be some element of internal weakness inthe Austrian c.-u.'p : mid from all I can learn,from the (acts that co>Y* e*>.vtt,'tfsd th* hints andsurmises that float in the atmosphere, I havevery little doubt that it is to be found in theIncompetency and vacillating presumptionofthe Emperor himself. He is a young man,without mijitarvexperience, and"of only the-oretic military knowledge,and ambitious to adegree whith makes him absurdly jealous ofthe Generals by whom he is surrounded, whoseadvice he constantly rejects, and whose well-laid plan? lie foiwtnntiy counteracts at thecritical moment. BM'ofv he jo'ned his army,he kept up incessant telegraphic cornifltmica-tion with headquarters from Vienna, and didnot hesitate, even at that distance, to overrulehis ablest Generals in the field. (ren. Gyulaihas been disgraced for the loss ofMagenta,andprivate accounts represent him as gloomy,melancholy,and apparently overwhelmed bytlie ruin of his professional character: 3*et hehas friends who say that if the time everconvs when he can place the responsibilitywhere it belongs, he will stand acquitted.

Three distinguished Generals?Clam, Gal-las, Prince Lichtenstein, and Zadewitz?aresaid to haVe thl-own tip tneircommands, sinceSolferino:?this could only have happened un-der thepressure of some very grave and im-perative necessity. On the field at SolferinoFrancis Joseph is said to have addressed anangry reproof to one of his oldest Generals?who instantlybroke his sword across his kneeand threw it*at his feet;?the Emperor burstinter tears and held out his hands, beggingpardon for the offence he had given. Al!these things, with many others of the samekind that might be mentioned, indicate a stateof complete demoralization in thr ranksof the Austrian army;?and nothing can bemore fatal than such a state of things to thevigorousand successful prosecution of a war.The Allies, on the contrary, are completelyunited. The King, Victor Emmanuel, withadmirable judgment,accepts the place simplyof General of a corps d'armce, and gives toNapoleon the supreme command of the wholeallied armies, and the most perfect harmonyprevails in every department of the combinedforce.

Fkuit tVitu IsiiiANff.?A letter to the St.Louis Republican,dated Camp Stockton, July10, says:

Capt. Brackett, of thesecond Cavalry UnitedStates army, had a flglit a short time sincewith a party of Indians near the Rio Grande,in ?which he defeated them, killing two andwounding several more. He was obliged togo into San Carlos, in Chihuahua, to get pro-visions for his men, and from there to Presidodel Norte. At the latter place the Mexicanskilled one of his men?a private, named JohnJ. Slander. Corporal Gaftiney was woundedat Las Limpias, and Private Amer died ofsun-stroke. Afterhis first scont, Capt. Brack-et! went out again nfter a large party of In-dians, hut did not succeed in finding theirtrail. Lieutenant Owens accompanied theCaptain on his first scout. This company hasdone a great deal of service along the RioGrande aiul on the El Paso road.

Death op the Hon. Rk:iiaiu> Rrsii.?TheWashington Constitntlon announces the deathof the lion. Richard Rush, at Philadelphia, onSaturday morning, at an advanced ape. Mr.Rush was the son of Dr. Benjamin Rush, oneof the signers of the Declaration of Indepen-dence. Mr. «Ru?h was appointed AttorneyGeneral by President Madison in 1811, uponthe resignation of the Hon. William Pinkney,of Maryland. In he was appointed minis-ter to England by President Monroe, and heafterwards published a volume of liis "Recol-lections at llieCourt of St. James."' In ls-25he was appointed Secretary of the Treasuryby John tluincyAdams,and made an elaboratereport in favor of a protective tariff". He wasafterwards nominated as a candidate for theVice-Presidency on the same ticket with Mr.Adams, who was defeated for the Presidencyby General Jackson: was afterwards identifiedwith Democratic polities, but we believe neveragain entered public life.

The session was tocommence ou the 15th of the present month.Thedecree is published in the WashingtonStates, and is probably the basis of the tele-graphic dispatches to the Associated Press an-nouncing the probability that the Lamar-Zele-don treaty will shortly be ratified, with thearticle objected to by our governmentomitted.The States attributes such object to the Nicar-aguan President, but on what authority it doesnot say. The probabilities are in favor of thatidea, however, butit is not quitecertain byanymeans that the Congress will do just exactlywhat our governmentwishes them to do. Ni-caraguan statesmen seem to havea will oftheirown, aud to be tolerablyindependent in the ex-ercise of it.

The "War of the Lox-ijon Times.?Mr. Raymond, in a letter fromParis, thus corrects a popular error respect-ing the correspondence of the London Timesfrom the seat of warITee that you attributed t» Russell the let-

ers from the French camp which has appear-ed in the London Timrtduringthiscampaign.This is a mistake. They were written by aHunitarian colonel, and have been admirable,both from their clear military accuracy andthe fidelity with which they describe the coun-try and the personal incident# of the war.?Kussell was anxious to jointhe army on land-ing at Marseilles, and in spite of all that issaid to the contrary, would havehad not theslightest difficulty in doing so. B«t nis healthhas suffered very severely fromhis residence inIndia, and he was not equal to the fatigue andlabor of another campaign. He has a daugh-ter at school here in Paris, and is expectedhere with Mrs. U. in a few days.

From Utah.?The prospects of the comingharvest ill Utah are very gloomy. The Deee-ret News of June 2!>, says that the re(tortsfrom nearly every county and settlement arelar from flattering, anrt >n many locations thowheat crop will be almost an entire failure.

"There was comparatively littleFall wheatsown niifl much or that was killed by the se-vere winter, or so injured that it will not beworth harvesting. The Spring wheat wassowed so late that much of it will notmature,and theremainder will produce not moregtlianhalf an average criip. Moreover, the grass-hoppers and crickets are making sad havoc minanv localities, and some fields have been en-tirely destroyed. The impression seem* to bethat there will be a scarcity of grain nextwinter. On Sunday, the Elder Orsonliyde spoke of the saving policy of Joseph instoring up the grain of Egypt against theseven years of famine, and argued that mas-much as a sore famine was foretold toooute toin the present generation, it behooved theSaints to take care of and begin at once tostore up their grain. The cost of transport,ing grain from the East is bo great, and theprice so enhanced in consequence, that but lit-tle aid can to expected from other Sl#im< .

< tat tie of Nicholas I. was inaugurated atftt.I'etersburgh on the 7th of Jaljr but. It issimilar to shape to Clark Mills' statue ofJackson, but?though costing fitXMXXt-is de-scribed by letter-writers as fiar inferior toCrawford's W.tshhigton at Kichmond. A let-ter says:

At b A. M. the troops began W tfe«eqrble andform around the statue, ami by lojj 125,000were in sight, stationed trom the Winter Pal-ice to the clinrch, covering the vast Isaac'splain nearly a |uile in length. Through theexertionsand kind attentions of Mr.Croswell,front seats were secured for several of us, andoccupied by a numberof American ladies andgentlemen,giving ns a floe view of the cere-monies. At 11 A. M.,amidst sounds of buglesand music from ad the military bands, theEmperor entered the square In adasfcing stylein theuniform of the Imperial Gfuard,mountedon a fine, spirited eharger, and followed by hisbody guard, and, riding round thesquare, wasgreeted with shonts of applanse from thetroops and populace. The state carriage* thenpassed through the square to the Isaac'schurch, tbe first with the Empress, and drawnby eight horsns, each led by a groom: the har-ness was heavilygilt and studded with bril-liants and precious stones, and the carriage,having more the api>earance of agolden etyio-py, was surmounted by the Imperialcrown, ofbeautiful workmanship and immense value;the second carriage, drawn by six horses, wasbut little inferior to the flrst, and containedtwo of the grand dnchesses, and in the othercarriages weir princes and maids of honor toonumerous to mention.

The Imperial cortege having entered thechurch, the ceremonies of inauguration com-menced by the high priest stationed on ft plat-form in "front, and dressi-d in all the rich,gaudy, golden robes of the Greek Church. At12 M., the Grand Patriach pronounced theblessing, when the thunderingof cannoncom-menced from the thirty-livegunboats station-ed in the Neva, opposite the square, eachmounting three long thirty-two pounders,and the result was a general smashing of win-dow-glass on both sides of the river. Thetroops then formed in line and marchedthrough th(' square, in view of the Emperorand Empress, who Were stationed under anawning near the stame. The troops wereabout three hours in passing, and as each reg-iment appeared with the otdar.d tattered ban-ners which they had carried orenptured in bat-tle,they were loudlycheered. The military dis-play throughout was, 1 think, near perfectionin the general line appearance, dress, and dis-cipline of the troops, particularly the Cossackand Circassian cavalry. At night the largebuilding of the Ministry of War, occupyinganentire square, was beautifully illuminated;also the gunboats on the Neva, and the interiorof Isaac's church.

A Monster Prayer Meeting The Edin-burg Witness gives a very interesting accountof a great Union Prayer Meeting, held in theopen air at Belfast, at which thousands at-tended. Some statements put down the num-ber present as high as 31),000; while the lowestestimate that we have seen places it at 20,000.The meeting was held in the spacious groundsof the ltoj'al Botanic Gardens. The Witnesstoys -

"Some idea of the interest felt, may be ima-gined when state that it is computed thatno fewer than individuals arrived iuBelfast, and that lrom 35,0W to 40,000 persons,in all, were present at the services. The lead-ingstreets of the town presented, duringmid-day. a moft remarkable aspect, particularlyal-ter the arrivalof trains. The footways wereliterally thronged with well-dressed and re-spectable-looking j>eople from the country-Hot parsing alongwith the negligentand easy-going air of pleasure-seeking excursionists,butstaid and solemn !n demeanor?the youngeras well as the elder; and the majority withHi hies or liymn-books in their hands, as ifproceeding to Sabbath services. Thus the liv-ing stream?such a stream as was never beforewitnessed in Belfast?poured onward for atleast two hours, alongboth sides of the streets.The Rev. Jolui Johnson, Moderator of theGeneral Assembly to the Irish PresbyterianChurch, presided, and he was supported by theministers of ihe dill'ereut. Protestant denomi-nations in and .around Belfast. Many werealso present from Scotland. At onetime therewere no less than twenty subordinate meet-ings, numbering from suu to 1,000 each. At. theclose of the general meetMig, one of the minis-ters of the town, who has moved a great dealamong the juveuiie population, was sur-rounded by a large assemblage of boys, whoultimately formed themselves into a proces-sion.and marched into iowii { singing 'Oh! thatwill be joyful,'&c."

The Fourth of July Cei.khuated by

Mexican Authorities.?A correspondent ofthe New Orleans Picayune, writingfrom Tam-pico, Fays:

Oil the 4tli inst., :i request was conveyed tothe United States Consul of this port, fromiiis Excellency, the Governor, that lie wouldunfurl his Consular flag, in order that the :iu-lliorities here should have the opportunity toparticipate in the celebration of the anniver-sary of the independence ot their great sisterrepublic. That request was promptly com-plied with by Mr. Chase, ami the moment theflag of the United States was displayed overhis house, every publicedifice in the city wasdecorated with the national flag of the Mexi-can republic, where they remained through-out the day, to the grateful and admiringgazeof the American and Mexican citizens. Pre-viously to the lowering of the American llag,when near sunset, it was honored with a sa-lute of twenty-oneguns ! In the evening hisExccllency, the Governor, visited the UnitedStates Coiisul, and gave an appropriate brimlisoil the occasion of the day they were commem-orating.

MASSArRK OF El HOrF.ANB AK JkIKNKO?We have accounts of the massacre of futy r-u---ropeans by the natives of the l>utch Settle-ment of lforuoe. Disaffection at the course ofthe Dutch government in sustaining an un-popular Sultan on the throne, with the in-trigues of Mahometan priests, led to the rising.Four fJerman missionaries, three of theirwives and nineteen children, are stated to havefallen victims to the knife of the a*sa*siu«i.

CoxskcßATlON' ok Bishops. ? The fourBishops elect?of Texas, New Jersey, Assis-,tant of Ohio, and Minnesota?having signifiedtheir acceptance, the Church is looking to theconsecration in October, and it having beensuggested that each should be consecrated in ornear his future Diocese, the Church Journal(Episcopal) objects,and says, "We ho]>e it willnot be done." We quote:

"It will be far better to havethe testimonialsof the four - passed early through the LowerHouse, then let the four be consecrated togeth-er in liichmond?asightsucli as Virginia neversaw before, and would certainly rejoice to be-hold?and the four can immediately take theirseats in the Upper House, and speak and voteduring the greater and more important part ofthe session."

The Plymouth Cklehuatiox.?Great pre-parations are being made in Plymouth for theapproaching celebration of the landing of ihePilgrims. The corner-stone of two structureswill bo laid. Speakingol theproposed monu-ments, the Boston Advertiser says:

One of them will be founded upon PlymouthIlock itself, and will boa comparatively un-pretendingstructure. The other is the greatmonument, to be placed in a conspicuous po-sition upon the hillabove the Samoset House,and will be constructed after the design fur-nished by Mr. Billings. It is estimated thatabout a quarter of a million of dollars mustbe collected to carry out the plans proposed.Of this sum about *15,<>00 have already beensubscribed.

TnE Catholic Press and the Treaty ofPeace.?lt is interesting to see the effect thetreaty of peace between France and Austriahas upon the tone of the Catholic press inFrance, in England,and Ireland. The lead-ing Catholic journals of the three countriestake different views on the subject. Thus theUnivers regards it as a grand triumphof iheChurch, and is most enthusiastic in its re-joicings,while the London Tablet and WeeklyRegister sees in the treaty nothing bnt causefor the most serious apprehensions of an in-vasion fromFrance. The two last-mentionedpapers are the leading Catholic journals ofEngland. The Dublin Catholic telegraph*peaksof a coalition against England,com-posed of France, Austria, and Russia, as fullof the worst forebodings.

~ LOCAL MATTERS.The Covn'f Court of H*nrieo commenced its?Jl!£?*£» Jr

..lerP but disposed Of nocriminal bu«lnes«. The urand Jury met at12 o'clock; and after being charged by the Com-mon wealth* Attorney, made thefollowing in-dictments and pfrs«nt«eats, on thecharges setforth:

l>r. GeorgeOavinrel, forattemptingpersonalviolence on Mrs. Mary A. Boe-welLon the 28thof June last, in the house of her husband, onUnion Hill, while attendingheras physician?a true bill.

Daniel O'Daniels, indicted for steallng'flftvcente in ftwney from Samuel S. Burch?truebill.A. T. Connelly and Win. J.Connelly, white

men, were presented tor uhlawiul gaming atcards, onthe Westham Plank-Road, on Sunday,the 24th of Jnly last. The setae parties werealso presented forbeing in an unlawful assem-bly of thirty negroes, on the alth of July,andare now in jail,awaitingtheir trials on thesetwo misdemeanors. Someof the negroes werecaught at the time and punished,and otherswill probably be brought to the bar of justiceat some future time.The Grand Jury then adjourned to meetagain next Thursday week,when a longstringof presentments may be looked for, judgingfrom the list of witnesses in the hands of theclerk. Many of these are, no doubt, for tip-pling,others for robbing the pnblic roads ofsand, and tlins obstructing the public high-way, and others against surveyors for failingto improve their roads. ,

Hmckftcriug.?The case of Patrick and JamesHendrehan, charged With violatingthe marketordinance, by buying two loads of chickens,was before the Mayor yesterday, but, owingto the absence of witnesses for the accused,the investigation was deferred nntJl to-mor-row. The defence set np by the parties is,that they purchased the chickens more thanseven miles from the market; but if thuy evenprove this, itnd did not receive, countar.d payfor the chickens at that distance from the mar-ket, they are still nfr»enal)le to the law, andliable to pnnishment.

However hard the Clerk of the First Marketmay labor to break up huckstering he cannever succeed, lor there are men who willtake all chances of punishment rather thanlie deprived of th. privilege of speculation.?The result of the efforts to break up the sys-tem is, therefore, injurious to the people, inas-much as it will eventually drive off the bestclass of market-men, and leave the trade inthe hands of the less scrupulous. In manyother cities the markets have been thrownopen to all classes of buyers and sellers, andthe conseqnenee has been that competition hasbeen increased, and the masses have been ben-ell t ted. If it is lawfnl to buy bacon, butter,flour, and lard, and »ell them again, whyshould it be illegal tobny and sell poultryand epjrs 1 Let the Council puta light tax onthe hucksters?give tlie Clerk of the Marketpower to sei/e and confiscate all unhealthyordiseased fiowls, stale vegetables, and unsoundfruits?and llx the standard of weights andmeasures to buy and sell by, and the interestsof the peouie will be more surely protectedthan in any other way.

Gathering Kelirs.?The Virginia Mechanics'Institute, through! heir Exhibition Committee,have determined toappropriate a large spacein their lair room, for the exhibition, in Octo-ber next,of such specimens of Revolutionaryrelics, old "plate," paintings, bocks, paper?,natural curiosities, old coin, manuscript*,minerals, etc., as can bo collected, and they ap-peal to the citizens of Virginiaand the sisterStates, to forward to them, by the Itjih of Oc-tober, whatever they haveof the past, that maybe of n# interest to the present generation. InVirginia, North and South Carolina, andMaryland, many persons own family relicsthat would prove highly interesting at thisday, and it is earnestly hoped that a large col-lection may be made." The greatest care willbe taken with every article sent to the exhibi-tion, and as the hail is a secure and spaciousone, the danger of injuryto any tlwngthat maybe contributed, is very small. The ladies,too, are appealed to by the committee, to maketheir departmenteven more attractive thanheretofore, and we are gratified to learn thatscores of them are already at work preparing? ix>cimens of their skill and ingenuityfor theFair.

.?1 Colif Cu>> is the prize to be awarded at theRichmond TrottingPork this afternoon, to thefastest of three trotters entered for the occa-sion. These trials of speed with light draughthorses are essential to the perfection of thatstrain of animals, and for that reason are libe-rally encouraged at the North. T'util within afewyearspast,thostock raisers of Virginiahavepaid" little or no attention to "trotters," andare, therefore, behind their more advancedneighbors ; but if we are to form an opinionas to the future about the numtier of "yonng'uns" now making th»*ir thr"e-minute strides,the dav is not far distant when ihe Old Do-minion will be able to boast her Flora Tem-ples and Lancets, and when even the queen," Princess," will find her wreath of laurelstraveling South. The careful breeding andproper trainingof blooded stock will certailymake them masters of the road as well as racecourses, for in horses for all purposes wherespeed and endurance are needed, "blood willtell."

To be Decid d?By an ordinance of the city >all persons who own vehicles and keep them jfor hire, are required to pay a license on those |vehicles, if they are employed in the city.?Under this ordinance, has the Council theright to impose a tax on the owners of cartsand wagons living beyond the corporate lim-its, but who employ those vehicles to haulsand, bricks and stone into and through thecity, from one year's end to another ! To bemore plain, if possible?if A lives on the wes-tern suburbs and owns curts, has he a right toemploythose carts to haul anything for B,who lies on the eastern suburbs, through lliccitv day after dav, without payinga license totravel on the streets ! If he has notthe right,then he stands on the same footing with C,who is a citizen and a tax payer; but if he hasthe right, then he is actually allowed a bonusfor livingbeyond the corporate limits.

A Prize Fight, for a feed of melon®, came off"between two miniatureebos,at the First Mar-ket, yesterday afternoon. The belligerentswaded into each other n In Hyer and Sullivan,and for several seconds the result was doubt-ful. as the larger one had gone to grass, andthe little one had closed on him ; but the bot-tom onefinally arose, shook oil" his adversary,gave him a dig on therightsideof his proboscis,and made him squeal like a mashed pig. Find-ing that the "light weight" was not disposedlo renew tho combat, his second threw up hishat the big boy was declared the winner,andthe two joined, and were eating the stakeswhen our reporter left.

Slick Operation.?On Saturday night last, asJacob, slave to Joseph Adams, of Hanover,was passing along '2d street, he was hailed bytwo negroes, and stoppinghis horse, fell into adose of sleep while they were conversing.?

When he awoke, they were gone, and withthem had left a pot of butter and a basket ofeggs Seeing Peter, a slave, in the neighbor-hood and believing him to be one of the rob-bers of his cart, Jacob procured his arrest andhad him before the Mayor yesterday, but lus

Honor was not at all satisfied that Peter wasguilty, and therefore continued the investi-gation until this morning.

Yottne Men's Meeting To-A*i« At?We woulda<rain remind our citizens of the meeting ofthe Young Men's Christian Association, atDr Moore's Church, to-night. We know thatthe evenings are short, and the demands uponour time frequent and urgent; yet we wouldinvoke every good citizen to rally around thisinstitution in its efforts tostay the ravages ofthe wine-cup, and those other and endlessevils and agencies by which the young man isbeset. Cheer the young men by your pres-ence to-night.

Violent Afsa«ll.-Qe orge Hillery was arrest-ed yesterdav by officers Morris and Chalkley,for unlawfullyand violently assaulting Rob-ert Wall, in the public streets. The report is,that W. was walking along quietly, and thatHillerv stepped up to him, pushed him off theSidewalk, then struck him, and afterwardsseized a stoneand followed W. to his boardinghouse. If these are .the facts, the Grand Juryand the Hustings Court will both be requiredto pass on the guiltof the prisoner.

(One bushel will make Are gal-lons of pnre wine.) Add two-and-a-half tothree pounds of loof sugar to eaeh gallon,thenput into a cask and ferment, and fix as you doraspberry wine."

Oregon Hill is not improvingas rapidly, jnstnow, as heretofore, because of the fear enter-tained that the City Council will adhere to itsoriginal resolution" of locating the new reser-voir in that section.
