Adyertisempptsghonla in at an etriy non Prisoners Escaped. A few days since a letter received by Marshal Leonard-tovm, stating that four men had been arrested and confined in the jail of that town on suspicion that they were the parties concerned in the shootiDg of John Caden alias Jacko, at the corner of Caroline and Aliceanna street, about ten days ago. After the shooting of Caden the parlies procured a small sloop, fa which they proceeded down me river, ana wiiea ou me shore of St. Mary's county were caught ia a gale and their bark wrecked, when they were Two of them escaped before they reached the prison. Captain Marrh and oSeer Iloarard, of the eastern district police, were at once sent off with a view to identify the parties, but when they reached the place they learned that the prisoners had broken through the window and effected their escape.

It is thought that those who first escaped assisted the others, though the task of breaking through a county prison is not very difficult, there being so walls to prevent persons from approaching the building and supplying those Incarcerated with the necessary working Implements. A Modern Jehness. Considerable excitement was created in Central avenue late on Wedaes day evening, In consequence of a female making her appearance on that thoroughfare with a horse and buggy, and several times trying the metal of her steed. She was eenteeUv dressed, and seem ed to perfectly understand the control of her ani mal. Alter several trials at trottlag, the norse was put out to a full run, and when she reached the corner of May street a police officer, whose attention had been called to her conduct, informed her that he would be obliged to take her before a magistrate.

At her invitation the officer took a seat in the buggy, and drove his fair captive to the eastern district police st ition, where the matter was soon settled, and she departed, driving at a much safer rate of speed, and decreasing the danger to those who were on the street. She seemed not to be aware of the violation of any law, as she had frequently seen East Baltimore' street turned into a race course by the sterner sex without hindrance frm any quarter. Valuable Warehouse Improvement. There has just been completed at the corner of Pratt and South streets three first class warehouses for the estate of the late M.M. Keyser.

Two of these front on Pratt and one on South street, and they are the finest buildings in that immediate sec- -tion of the city. The lower fronts are of massive and highly elaborated iron columns, upon which; rests a heavy shelving cornice of the same mate- rial. The upper fronts are of brick, and the windows are formed by pilasters, capped with. New Brunswick drab stone, from which springs the arches to form the circular heads of the win dows. They are four-stories high, and the eaves formed by a bold and projecting cornice, giving to the building a fine appearance.

Oa each floor of each of the buildings is a spacious counting-room, and a hatchway extends up to the fourth floor. The foundation of these buildings is a heavy granite wall resting on a pile thus fiving them great strength. They were built by amesS. Forbes, carpenter; Hayward, Bartlett Lonworkers, and A. Foos, bricklayer.

A Clock for the Steeple of the New Market Engine citizens of the West End are -to have ''something to look up to," in the shaoe of an elegant time-piece, to be placed in the stee ple or the iew Market engine house, the article to be manufactured by oae of our best city firms. in addition to the Sooo appropriated by the coun cil during a recent session, the officers of the company are receiving contributions thereto, and in a short time the works will be ready for placing ia position. The same dials now in the steeple, which are transparent, will be used and handsomely illuminated at night, giving the cit-zens in that vicinity the advantage of learning the time at all hours of the night. The bell now in the steeple will be attached to the clock and ing the hours. Needs Attention.

That part of East Baltimore street lying between Canal street and Broadway has become so intolerably out of order that it is now dangerous for vehicles to pas3 over it at a faster rate than a walk. In many places there are large holes nearly a foot deep, and yesterday the axle of a buggy containing two persons was broken by railing into one or them. All other parts of that principal thoroughfare have been, repaved or repaired thoroughly. The City Council will assemble next month, when some, provision should be made for the work, or the street will be nearly or quite useless during the next winter. Baltimore Rifle Club.

Agreeably to their usual custom, the Baltimore Rifle Club, composed principally of Germans, had their annual prize-shosting match at Rost's, on the Belaic road, on Tuesday and Wednesday last. About fifty persons contended for the various prizes; the principal one, a massive silver goblet, valued at S50, was awarded to William. Holtzno.au for the best shot. The successful party was serenaded, on Tuesday night, at his residence, in Frederick street, by Linhard's band, and oa Wednesday night by another band of music. Charge of Theft.

n.11-ney, on South street. He asked for liquor, which was refused him because it was thought he had enough. After some persuasion by officer Wil cox he left the place, but shortly returned, after having changed his clothing, and made an assault on the Barkeeper, a youth named William Croghan, who dealt him a severe blow in tha month, causing the blood to flow freely. Both, parties were then arrested and confined at the station-house to await an examination. Vessel Robbed.

A night or two since the schr. Mary Elizabeth, Captain Gibbias, lying at Light street wharf, was broken into and robbed of a double-barreled gua, new cloth coat, mantle cloak, a spy-glass belonging to the captain, and other articles.

Suspicion attaches to a German laborer employed on the premises, and who has not since been seen. Assault with a Knife.

Speecli or STr. TSallas Tine DeiV.at or iliacIitrayTjUc TeIerapU Affairs in France, Australia, We make up the subjoined additional news from our English files of the 25th ultimo, by the Persia: Great Britain. On the 21st July there was great rejoicing at the town of Boston, Lincolnshire, consequent on the reopening of the Southwest Chapel of the chHrch in that town, which was restored by the cittzens of Boston, Massachusetts, a a memorial to John Cot'on. Mr.

Dallas, the Ameri-can'minister; the Bishop of Kentucky, and ex-Mayor Bigelow, of Boston, were among those who took part in the proceedings. An address was presented to Mr. Dallas' on the occasion, and two speeches were made by that gentleman. During one of his speeches Mr. Dillas remarked: 1I heard the distinguished gentleman on the opposite side make mention of what is called the Anglo-Saxon race.

Well, that, no doubt, is a very distinguished race. It is entitled to high praise, for it has accomplished wonders But I do not think that the United States of America, as they now exist, can be considered as confined to the Anglo Saxon race. It is a matter of fair truth to sav to you that there is a very large proportion of the. citizens of the United States who are Celts not Anglo-Saxons. If there be any Irish here they must understand that their fellow-countrymen constitute a very large proportion of what may be termed the character of the United States of America.

Nay, to go a little further, one of our States Is almost exclusively Spanish; another of our States is almost exclusively French; and the very State which I am proud to belong, a State that is called the Keystone State, has so many of its population of the German race that we are actually obliged to publish our laws in that language to accommodate them. Now, all these -races blended together constitute tbe national character of the United States cf America. That country, therefore, is not exclusively Anglo Saxon. Undoubtedly some of Its mest distinguished sources of origin are Anglo-Saxon, but as now organized as it is now fixed under its present constitution and present population, it Is a government and a country com po ed cf all peoples and races, and not confined exclusively to the Anglo-Saxon." At the dinner of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, which had been holding its annual show at Salisbury, Lord Portmaa introduced as a guest Mr. French, the vice-president of the Agricultural Society of the United States.

Mr. French was warmly received, and addressed the audience at some length. Considerable rioting, resulting from tha bad feeling engendered by the l'2ch of July celebration, had taken place between the Orangemen and Ribbonmen at Belfast, and on one occasion a serious collision with the military was the result, but fortunately without loss of life. There Is a rumor of the appearance of the potato blight in the province of Munster, Ireland, but it was not regarded as very serious. In the suspension of Henry Swable at Liverpool, a compromise of 6s 8d in the pound is said to have been offered.

THB DEFEAT OF THACXERA.T. At the Parliamentary election for Oxford City, which resulted in the defeat of Mr. Thackeray, the vote stood for Cardweli, Tuackerav, 1,013. The election created, great excitement. A writer from Oxford says: Oxjoeb, Tuej-day, July 21.

The polling commenced at the usnal hour, when the fri-nds of Mr. Cardweli led off by a small majority. About ten o'clock it was evident that Mr. Thackeray i stood a fair chance of coming in second best, being over seventy in minority, and at twelve thU had Increased to one hundred. After one the people began to assemble at the corners ef the streets, and in front of the Mitre, Mr.

Thackeray's principal committee room, and also of the Star Hotel, the head-quarters of Mr. Cardwelt's friends. A little before four there was not a place of business to be found open, except our usual good -natured election acquaintances, the friendly public-houses. Sneaking upon that point, I am Inclined to think that some of the college butlers must have opened their hearts, and the buttery beer barrels at the same time, for during the last three hours of tbe poll some fifty or sixty roughs, far descended in the inebriating scale, created considerable annoyance by assembling before the respective committee rooms, howling for their favorite candidates. At about half-past six Mr.

J. Towie, the mayor, delivered the declaration of the poll at the town-hall amid great confusion. Thanks were returned for Mr. Cardweli, and Mr. Thackeray addressed the people at considerable length great cheering, when the proceedings terminated.

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. The London Observer, speaking of the sub-fcarine telegraph, says: All doubts with respect to the retardation of the electric current are set at rest, and an extensive series of experiments have shown that ten words may be whispered under the Ireland to Newfoundland, every minute, or words per day. The cable will ba delivered in the first instance out of the hold of the ship through a trumpet-mouth tube, elevated about thirty feet above thetopof the cone around Which the rope is coiled. It will then pass over and under a series of "sheaved" or grooved wheels, where the amount of adhesion or friction of the rope will be regulated so as to counterbalance the weight of the cabie in suspension In the water, and will thus afford perfect control over its delivery. As in some parts the depth at which the rope is to be laid will be lather more than two miles and a half, there would be irt the process of paying-out probably twice that extent of cable held in suspension, and as this weight In water is 14 cwt.

to the mile, the necessity of adopfng due precaution against the cable running away too quickiy will be evident, and the machinery for providing against this contingency is of the most powerful description. Arrangements are also made in the event of any accident, for cut ting away the cable and securing one end of it to large buoys fitted with mirrors, and provided with several miles of ordinafy rope, and an anx-Illiary steam engine is fitted up on board, to be employed in hauling in the buoy ropes when it is desired to take possession of the line again. The batteries to be taken on board for signalizing through the cable while In progress of being submerged, are of most extraordinary power. The ztnc plates employed weigh three tons, and with the boxes and the acid together, it Is upwards of five tons. That a battery of very considerable power wiU be required for the purpose of signalizing is clear from the nature of the duties required to be performed by the electric current.

Starting from the deck of the Agamemnon, it would rush through the whole of the rope re maining uncoiled in that ship's hold, and then leaping overboard, it would drive down to the lowest depths of the Atlantic, skip along the mountains and valleys of old ocean's bed, mount to the surface, board the Niagara, flash through the uncoiled rope on board that ship, and, ringing the signal bell, tell that throughout its whole distance of two thousand five hundred miles, it has met with no flaw and no obstruction- When the little bell on board gives forth no accustomed sound, the engines of the steamship will be reversed, the cable hauled in and examined until the damaged part through which the electric messenger has escaped shall be discovered. When once laid In Its ocean bed, there will be no disturbing current to endanger its safety, and the nature of the plateau on which it will be deposit ed leads to the opinion that in a very short time the soft sand of the ocean bed will form a perfect covering of the cable. i raisce. A report had been current of another attempt on the Em peror's life at Plomblerres, but it appears to have been unfounded.

Miss Augusta Cunningham entered the room, accompanied by an officer, and after a few moments private conversation with Mr. clerk, she sat down in a corner of the room, and covering her face with her hands, wept bitterly.

After a brief period she left the room, but soon returned, and it being then one o'clock, Mr. Murray aunounced that he would take a recess until three o'clock, when Miss Augusta Cunningham would be examined. Miss Cunningham remained during the interval in the justice's room, and seemed overwhelmed with misery. To the few words of sympathy addressed to her she was unable to reply. Her sobs choked her utterance.

It was pitiable indeed to witness the intensity of her suffering. Her evidence disclosed nothing new or important, and we therefore omit it, as a to that of Mary Murphy, a domestic. Augusta's eyes, while giving her evidence, were red with weeping, but she answered the justice's interrogations with firmness. She complained of the shock which her nervous system had undergone, and said she had begged her mother mt to speak to her on any subject connected with Dr. Burdell.

MRS. CUNNINGHAM. Mrs. Cunningham, still a prisoner at her house No. 31 Bond street, kept up the sham with groans cries, as if really she was suffering.

She still persists that she has bee confined, as she is not permitted to know anything of the evidence against her. Four officers had the house in party being relieved every six hours. Drs. Smith and Lockwood were in occasional attendance throughout the day. It is supposed that she might attempt suicide, and the ofii jers therefore have been directed to keep a close watch over her.

Yesterday she refused to submit to a personal examination until she could consult her counsel. Judge Dean, her former counsel, will have no further professional connection with her case. He has withdrawn from it in disgust. Mrs. C.

was verv anxious yesterday to see Dr. Catlin. MRS. CUNNINGHAM'S SHARE IN THE BURDELL ESTATE. It has been staled that if the Surrogate should decide the question of Mrs Cunningham's application before him for letters of administration upon the estate of the late Dr.

Harvey Burdell which decision depends entirely upon the question ef her marriage to the deceased In her fa vor, that she would receive, as widow, one-third of the estate of BurdelLJ But according to law sne would receive more than that, vir? nn-hn'f of the estate of the deceased, for when a Derson dips intestate, leaving a widow and no issue, the widow is entitled to one-half of the entire estate of the deceased. The estate is estimated to be worth between S40.000 and 850,000, and comprises the hot -s Nos. 2 and 31 Bond street, with' some real estate in Herkimer county and Elizj- utmpon. The Railroad Accident near N. The accident on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, near Goldsboro', oa Tuesday, was occasioned by the breaking of an axle of the engine.

Mr. Barbour, of North Carolina, had both thighs badly crushed, and is not expected to survive. Mr. Little, agent of Adams' Ex press, was also badly hurt. Capt.

Ellis, of Wil- mingtor; conductor Browning, Ellas Bell, of N. Thomas Cromeiin and sister, of Montgomery, and several others were slightly Injured. Mrs. McKnight, of Charleston, wa dangerously hurt. The Wilmington Herald says: The train got within a short distance of the trestle woik over Yellow Marsh, eight miles this side of the axle of the driving- wheel of the locomotive broke.

The engineer finding it impossible to stop the cars before reaching the trestle-work, endeavored to rush the train over and reach the embankment on the other side. The trestle-work at this point is sho but some twenty or twentv-five feet in height. The train passed over, but just as it did so, the cars were thrown off the track and down the embankment, the locomotive in its disabled state tearing up a portion of the sleepers and rail. The engine and tender remained upon the track. The baggage car rolled down the gully.

The smotinu car roiled over several times some distance from the road; the passenger cars, containing some twenty-five or thirty passengers, were thrown off, the last one rolling over several times. lhese cars were all smashed up. Transportation of English Convicts. The London correspondent of the Philadelphia American writes: An interesting batch of convicts are about to be conveyed to Freemantle, in western Australia. Among them are Paul Strahan and Bates, the bankers the Strand.

On motien. a committee or one from eash or the first eight wards was appointed to confer with the county committee.

On motion, the "recommendations" of the State democratic convention were endorsed bv this convention. The convention then adjourned till the first Thursday night in September. Alleged Rape Arrest On Wednesday last a young woman named Susan Miller, employed in a lamuy corner 01 remont and i- ayette streets, appeared before Justice Grove and entered complaint against two young men named William Drake and John Granger, whom she charged with forcibly violating her person on the night of the 12th of July. From her statement, it appears ui aiie tau a siigm acquaintance wicntne young men, and upon the night in question they called at the house where she was employed and engaged her for a walk. They proceeded out the ashington road, and upon her expressing a de sire to return, they pretended to do so, but decoyed her into one of ihe new" streets, whe 1 one of the party seized her by the arms and throwing her unoa the ground, in that position hell her by turns whilst the other outraged her person.

After being released the men offered her a piir of ear-rings, but she refused to accept them, and returned to her home, bearing the marks of bru tal treatment upon her, and though interrogated as 10 tne cause or her appearance she steadily refused to disclose the outrage until very recently. The girl gave this statement In an artless ana. unsophisticated manner. The magistrate at once issued warrants for the arrest 01 v-cused. and yesterday John Granger was taken into custody by officers Elderkin and Gambrlll.

An examination resulted in his being committed to jail to await the action or tne grarin jury. William DraKS, tne oiaet jpan-jr luintuuj still at large. Another Excitement ai the Lexington Market This locality Is becoming notorious for scenes like the following: On Wednesday night, about nine o'clock, two men rooe tnrouga tne narxec in a buggy, and when opposite the corner where several of the members of the New Marke t.Ea-glne Company were assembled, one of the "men rose up tne venicieana nrea into tne crowa. The fire was returned and one of the balls struck the horse. A great excitement was the result of the firing, and a crowd rushed into the market in anticipation of a "free fight." la the midst of the confusion the buggy was driven oT, and the mob dispersed.

as it had got so late she would not find Mr. Ladd in his office; tken my sister Augusta had to go for a pair cf shoes In Grand street; she said she would ride there and then ride up to my aunt's; metier did not go with her; she asked mother if she mifjht remain over night, and mother said slie ha belter no', as she had been iil; she then said Dr. Smith had told her a change of air would dohercood: mother then said if she found it pleasant she could stay, and if she was taken sick she must send directly for her; then Augusta got into the carriage and drove away. I remained in the house with mother that afternoon; 1 was in and out. of the room until the doctor came; mother was sick when Augusta left; she thought It was a bilious attack which would soon go off, but in about an hour or an hour and a half she had to go to bed; Mrs.

Barnes staid in tbe room and helped her undress; I was not In the room; had gone downstairs; Mrs. Barnes was the only person with her; when I came up I went into the room: when I left the room mother had her skirt and bosom off; I went down to the kitchen and brought up some clothes no infant's clothing; my younger sister was ironing in the kitchen; I had some towels, which 1 put in the closet; the closet has two doors, one from the front and one from the back room; I took some flannel from the drawer, wet it with hot water, and gave it to Mrs. Barnes, who applied it to my mother: I was in the room then; I think this was about six o'clock. Q. Had your mother before this spoken to you about.

the confinement? A. No, never had, not that I remember; never had said to me at wfcat time she expected to be confined. Other persons had said she was to be confined, and asked me about It. Had heard her complain of being sick, and from her appearance took it as a matter of course. A this time there was a great disturbance outside, where a man was dressed up in woman's clothes, personating Mrs.

Cunninffham. An officer was sent to arrest him for disorderly conduct. About two weeks ago I went to the attic and took some infant's clothes from a bag, which I gave to my mother. I asked her then if she wanted them to day. She said no, but perhaps pretty soon, and told me to put them in a chair; did not aid in altering or preparing any of these ciotnes.

The first person who called at the door Monday night was Mr. Nimms, who wanted to know what time it would be agreeble for him and his wife to spend the evening; this was before dark; te came into the hall only; went up to see mother, who said, Tell Mr. Nimms that I am not very well; that I have the bilious colic, and he had better call on Thursday." After that I went into the front room with mother while Mrs. Barnes went down to tea; I don't know whether the next person was Dr. Uhl or Mr: Smith; I forgot to state that Mrs.

Wilt came in the afternoon early, before any one else; 1 sent wrs. isarnes's litue boy arter ner; she aid not stay with mother over ten minutes; I was in, the room part of the time; she said she was going away out of town and could not stay with mother; I have attended on mother since Monday niaht; I was called to her room about four o'clock Tues day morning, and told by Mrs. Barnes that officers had taken possession of the house, and had tasen away me ueii, tne nurse, ana 1 mustiaKe care of her; the officers would not let me go up stairs; she is very ill, indeed, at this time, suffer ing much pain. Has your mother said anything to you about the baby? A. I asked her about the baby, and she said she was not well enough to talk to me, and that they had taken the baby away she did not say who had taken It away; Mrs.

Barnes said 1 must be very quiet and ask her no questions; Mrs. B. said this when she called me Tuesday morning, and told me of the officers coming; I was in attendance on my mother yes terday until jane tseii and airs. Ann Barnes came in the evening; I was alone with her except my younger sister and Dr. Smith.

During that time what has your mother said to you? A. Hurriedly She has not said any thing to me, ana 1 nave not assed ner any questions; she is not able to speak above a whisper; Dr. Smith called four or five times, and lett me dicine. 1 was in attendance on mother on Monday even ing when Dr. Uhl came; I let him in and told him mother had the bilious colic; I met Dr.

Cat lin at the stairs after Dr. Uhl left the first time; I asked Dr. Catlin if mother was dangerously 111; he said, "Oh, no; nothing but cramp or cone; you had better go to bed;" after that. Mrs. Barnes called him in the room and I went in after him; mother was groaning with pain; I asked if I could do anything for her: she said, "No, daughter;" I asked Dr.

Catlin if he would stay all night; hei said, "I'll see whether I will or not;" 1 men lett tne room and went down to the kitchen; called my sister, Georgiana and Isabella Barnes to go down with me to the kitchen; we prepared refreshments and placed them on the centre table la the back room up stairs; Mrs. Barnes' son James came in with something in his hands; I don't know what; then went into mother's room and told her I was going to bed. and if they wanted me, or she was anv worse, to call me; Dr. Catlin was then standing by the bed; 1 went up stairs tnen and went tot bed. u.

About wnat tim was it you went to bear A. I am not positive about the time. I think it was about nine o'clock. Q. Had your mother at any time before this been absent from her room? A.

No, sir, she had not; it might have been later; it might have been ten. Q. Did you see Mr. Wilt that evening? A. I don't rememDerof seeing him In the evening; I saw him in the afternoon; he is in the habit of coming to the house generally every day; he would do errands, erder a carriage, or other things.

Q. Did you see him bring a tin pan to the house within a day or two? A. No, sir, I did not; nor anv other person. I have seen my mother this morning; she is very low indeed; seems to be suffering-pain, and is very iami; jjr. mitn nad visited ner this morning, and! sent for him again, but he was not in: tnen tne omcers came lor me; she did not say anything to me about her condition this morning, only that she thought she would not get over it.

Miss Helen's hand trembled -so violently that she could hardly sign her affidavit. EVIDENCE OF JAMES CARROLL. James Carroll, conductor on the 4th avenue railroad, testified as follows: On Monday evening August 3d, about 9 o'clock, as I was passing Bond stieet, on the down trip, the car stopped for passengers, and a lady stepped on whose muffled or disguised appearance attracted my attention. From the fact of the locality, together with the disguise, I at once get the impression that it was Mrs. Cunningham; while looking through the car, I noticed Captain Speight on the front platform; I took him by the arm and asked him, 'ls not that Mrs.

Cunningham?" he took me by the hand, and said. "Say not a word;" I then returned, and on going to the bick platform, took the lady's fare; my curiosity being somewhat excited, I tried to see her ice, but from the manner in which she wore her veil I could not. After passln a few block the captain came to the back platform and asked me the time of night; I took out my watch and It was just five minutes past nine o'ciock, at the corner 01 uea- tre and Broome streets, when 1 ielt something at mv back, like a person behind me; on turning around I saw the lady standing at the door, as I thought aDout to get oa witnout stopping tne car; I took her by the arm, pulled tae bell and said, "Madam, you must not get off until the car stops," The car stopped immediately, and the lady got oil. She did not turn her head until hereacheathe sidewalk; she then turned her head and appeared to scrutinize Speight and me, and passed down towards Elm street. The cap tain staid on the platform until the car turned into centre street, where he got oar, and, 1 sup posed, followed the woman.

District Attorney Hall here stated that he had just sent Dr. Barker, Professor of Obstetrics In -he New York Medical College, with nicer Walsh, over to the heuse, to make the necessary examination of Mrs. Cunningham, and given him directions to write out his statement, which was not yet wanted, in the form of an affidavit He stated that his impression was that she would refuse the examination, and it would be as we! that she should, as that would change the onul of proof, making it necessary for her to show her condition. SR. CATLIS'S STATEMENT.

Dr. S. H. Catlin has made an important disclo sure in his affidavit. He affirms that he saw Mrs Cunningham In prison about a dozen times on different occasions; while in the prison she told me she was enciente.

I have no recollection of any positive statement from her that she was with child by the late Harvey Burdell, but that was my inference from her conversation. I then firmly believed the fact was as she stated it: soon after her acquittal I noticed that her appearance corresponded to the fact of her statement. She said that uage Dean had told her that if she hid a child It would be heir to the property, and she hoped it would live; she requested me to be her medical accoucner; was sent ror by her on moi, day, Aug. went immediately to No. 31 Bond street and entered the room; I saw her sister, Mrs.

uarnes, and Airs. Cunningham; Airs, cunning- ham was on the bed; Mrs. Cunningham was un dressed and in bed; she said she was sick, and was suffering a great deal of nain: I examined her tongue and pulse, and was satisfied she had had cholera morbus; I gave her an emetic; I did not then see any child; a few minutes later she vomited green bile; I soon after examined her person; her abdomen was in a nearly natural siaic, aio ae was not tn any way toiti cMia, and had not been; the first I saw of the child. I saw' it brought.in by the sister, Mrs. Barnes; the child was dressed when I saw it first; I heard Mrs.

Cunningham remark about the child, that it had Burdell's nose, but her eves and color; Mrs. Bell; was brought: into the room after the child was there to see It: I think she said it was a verv bright child: if Mrs. Cunningham alleges that any childbirth took place that night tip to the time 1 left and was arrested, it is not true; the exception of the King of Sardinia, to guarantee each other against revolutionary attack.

The following latest news was telegraphed from London to Liverpool immediately before the sailing cf the steamer: From the Times Citv Article, July 25.

The conviction that up to ti ls afternoon no news has been received from India, and consequently that all the recent reports have thus far been totally without foundation has been followed by a diminution of excitement In the stock markets have not experienced any permanent rally, although the first transactions were at an advance of Although the absence of animation throughout the day was mainly attributable to the anxiety regarding India, an increased demand in the discount market where there was pressure coupled with slight withdrawals of ballion from the bank, and the favorable appearance of foreign exchanges, contributed to the general dullness. About 30,000 in gold bars was taken from the bank for the purchase of silver on the continent. These withdrawals are thought likely to continue, unless some Anstrallan or California arrivals soon takes place. Some 1,300,000 was on the way from Australia. the recent further reduction in their stock of bullion, the Bank of France have lowered their rate for advance on stocks and hares from to 5)4 per cent.

Pieas Insert it.

Yeurs, truly, A Citizen. The Locomotive Controversy. We supposed on reading Mr. Winans' proposition to the board of directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, for the appoint-ment of a commission to investigate and report upon the truth of the alleged defects of his machinery and their demerits, as charged in the pamphlet published by the board, that it would be accepted of course, as the most eq uitable and reliable method of doinsr justice to Mr. Winans, and at the same time protecting mest matenaland important interests of the company.

We have, therefoie, been surprised to hear It Intimated that, having recently pased through so many exciting discussions and disputes there is an unwillingness to introduce any new subject of dissension to disturb the quiet of the board, and that the board desires to enter into no controversy with Mr. Winans upon the subject. This is very much like knocking a man down, and when he springs to his feet prepared to def nd himself, exclaiming "oh! my dear fellow, I don't want to quarrel with you" But the fact, we presume, is that the members of the board of directors generally do not realize all they have done, in allowing the publication "on the relative advantages of the Winans' camel engines, and the ten-wheeled en-pine," to appear under their sanction, nor how deeply they have committed the company thereby. They have by that publication, which has gone forth with all the endorsement and authority of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, inflicted a deadly blow upon the hitherto prosperous and extensive business of Mr. Winans, and this, by an act which we think is entirely unpre-cedect on the part ef any railroad company, or, indeed, of any private individual.

They have denounced in the strongest terms, and in a widely spread-publication, the character of Mr. Winans' work, and the peculiar plan and construction of his engines as not only inferior, but worse than useless, and even highly pernicious and dangerous, and if the statements Contained in their pamphlet are not true they have made the company heavily liable to Mr. Winans for damages. The iniury, if even unintentionally, has been inflicted by the company, andean only be remedied by a proceeding or investigation, to which the company, willingly or unwillingly, is a party. Mr.

Winans has evidently desired no contest in the courts, and as extended the olive branch in proposing a commission to investigate the subject, which it appears to us there shoold be neither hesitancy nor delay in acceding to. It is but a mere act of justice to Mr. Winans to give him an opportunity to defead his bujiness reputation ar.d his interests from the most overwhelming and crushing charges which hive been made against them. Mr. Winans, after years of experiment, labor and experience, succeeded In constructing a locomotive engine superior for transportation purposes, peculiar in its plan, and as a coal burning engine.

It was especially adapted to and intended to supply the wants of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, where locomotives of great power were required for its freight business on account of the unusually heavy grades of the road. The engines thus produced by Mr. Winans were universally pronouueed superior for the purposes designed, and their reputation became established "in various parts of tbe country where powerful engines were wanted, they were ordered from the manufactory of Mr. Winan3, thus adding to tbe reputation and business of our city. On the Baltimore and Ohio railroad they gave entire satisfaction.

All those who had in succession charge of the machinery department of the road united in the same policy and practice, and found in their judgment and experience Jthat the Camel engines of Mr. Winans were far preferable to any other whatever for the freight business of the road, so that, in point of fact, fifteen -sixteenth of the freight business of the road has been carried by them, and the company have now nearly a million and a half of dollars invested in those engines. It was not until Mr. Tyson, a voung man without any previous practical experience In such business, was appointed Master of Machinery of the road, that any fault was found with them. For some reason, whatever it may have been, he soon showed himself to be inimical to them, and has ever since waged a bitter war against them, until at last he succeeded In obtaining from the Board of Directors, through the publication and endorsement by them of his pamphlet on the subject, a sweeping and utter -condemnation of the plan of construction of Mr.

Winans' engines, and also an unqualified charge that the character of the work upon them is of an inferior description. The ptmphiet published by the board does not metely declare another style of engine to be superior to those of Mr. Winans, but charges positive defects and faults upon the latter which would make it unsafe, improper and injurious anv longer to use them. Now, it must be borne in' mind that the detrimeatal consequences these charges are not confined to Mr. Winans' relations with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, but are destructively injurious to his general business.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-r aA Company are by far the largest users of his n.athinerv, and if they thus openly and publicly repudiate and condemn it, especially when they have so much capital invested in such it will be thought, of course, that the charges In tr-eir publication mut be true, and their action correct. Now Mr, Winans la his reply insists, and certaily, as far as we can judge, clearly snows not only that his locomotives, when tin-tampered with, are free from the defects alleged asrainst them, but that they really, in point of efficiency, ease of management, safety and economy of repairs, are far superior for the freight business of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to any other engine. It would be strange, indeed, if, after a lifetime devoted by Mr. Winans to perfecting them for these especial objects and their successful service for so many years, they should tarn out to te aosoluteiydetrimentaltothe iitrests of the road. At least the means of fairly determining the question should not be denied to Mr.

Winans. The interests of the company, no les3 thin justice to Mr. Winans. demands that the investigation asked for should be had. The gentlemen of the Board of Directors know very well that their own individual, practical knowledge as to machinery is limited of necessity, and that from the same necessity they must depend for ordinary information on this subject upon the originator of the controversy, the Master of Machinery.

Now this controversy has assumed that aspect that they must go further, and obtain their knowledge in this matter from undoubted sources from sources unstained by prejudice, interest or passion. If, as Mr. Winans maintains, his locomotives perform more work with less expense, less repairs and lesniiaouity to accident, than the ten-wheeled engine, then the interests of the company demand that they should continue to be furnished for the roai. If, on the contrary, the sweeping and unreserved charges against Mr. Winans' engines and the character of his work are sustained, not only should not one more of these locomotives be upon the road, but those now in the company's service should be withdrawn a soon a possible, and their places supplied by others free from such defects.

It is a matter upon which the board, with a regard for the Interests of the company, must upon sufficient and reliable information, so that their judgment may be correctly guided. And certainly the proposition of Mr. Winans for the appointment of a commission offers the most direct and least objectionable method of ascertaining the facts Involved in the controversy. The proposal of Mr. Winans is marked by equity and fairness.

He asks that three competent persons be selected to investigate and report upon the whole subject, and agrees either absolutely to pay half of the expenses of thi3 commission, or all of the expense, should their report be found against him. It is evident that Mr. Winans can not be set right before the community, and that the Injurious effects of the pamphlet of the board upon his business and business reputation cannot be counteracted except by an investigation, made under the sanction and authority of the very corporation from whom the injury proceeded, or in which, by their consent, or otherwise, they may participate. The appointment of a commission Is, as we have said, the most direct and amicable method of effecting this object, and if the directors examine the subject and take the proper view thBM inflted Mr. Winans and the demands or the true interest of the company, they will unquestionably accede to It.

A rat aPPeaT to us that the situation in which Mr. Winans finds himself pliced with his immense business interests, and- his professional reputation at stake, precludes the possibility of his quietly acquiescing in the injurious consequences resulting to him. Wisi Trade. A correspondent writing from Oporto, under date of June Cth, informs us that there are no kinds of Port wine which can be purchased for less than 160 per pipe, even this of miserable quality. Ordinary wines are selling for $150 to $250 per pi pe.

Old tawney wines are very scarce, and worth from $350 to 8500 per pipe. Bottled wines are selling at prices varying from 5 50 te $10 per dozen. There are no wines in the kingdom of any description that can be bought for less than S130 per pipe that will admit of the long voyage to America, and anything under $200 per pipe is of a very poor quality. The disease of the vine Is still progressing, and I fear that there will be very little wine made this year.
