34, and after a few minutes a flame wm seen en the roof of the two-story and attic house, No 189 North Eden street, between McF.lderry and Monument streets. For some time before the fire was discovered smoke was seen and smelt by persons In the neighborhood, but as no fire could toe seen it wa3 supposed to come from a bakery nearby. As soon, however, as the flames broke through tie roof the alarm was given and the en-ginesvere quickly on the ground. The house in which the lire originated was occupied by Mrs. Weil, who got out mcst of her furniture.

The roof of No 191, on the north, next took Ire and the roof was destroyed. He removed his furniture without serious damage. No. 193, occupied by xMr. Potter, was the next, and the roof of that was destroyed.

The furniture was removed; Then the pTegress of the flames was checked In that direction, but the fire spread rapidly to the southward. The first to the south of that in which the fire originatT-d No. 1S7, was occupied by Mr. Smith. Thereof and the upper story was destroyed and the whole of the lower inside wal3 damaged by water.

The furniture was nearly all remove d. No. 1S5 was eccupied on the lower part by Mr. Boucher, and above by Mr. Klein.

The roof and upper floor were destroyed. Most of the furniture was sved. N. 1S3 was occupied by Mrs. Miller.

The roof and upperstory were burned, but tbe furniture was saved-. No. 131 was oc- cup'Ied by Mr. Johnson, who aaved the most of his goods. The roof and upper fioor were burned.

No. 179 was occupied by Robert Lyon, whosaved his goods. The roof and upper fioor ef thij house were burned. No. 177 was occupied by John Cohen, the roof and floor ef whica were burned.

There were no fire-walls between any of the bouses, and the whole of them were 011 flreunder the roofs when the firemen reached the place; nor could the firemen reach the fire until the roofs hed been burned through. The fire was supposed to have originated from a defect in the chimney of No. 1S9, as the police officer on the beat went to the attic as soon as the fire was discovered, and only found it by breaking through, the ceiling. The whole damage by the fire it was thought would not exceed $3,000, which is covered by insurance. Seven of them belonged to Jonas Frie-dewald, two to Mr.

Wiesenfeld, twe to Elmer Hewitt, one to George Presstman and one to Mr. Hall, all of whom were said to be insured. The whole damage on all the furniture was trilling, but none of the occupants had any insurance. There was a row of large trees in front of the row of buildings, whicu very much retarded the efforts of the firemen. Robbery.

The Treaty of Peace A Conference to Settle the Affairs cf Italy Austrian Troops in Italy Lonis Napoleon's Arrival in Paris Prussia and the Yl ar. By the Anglo-Saxon at Quebec we have the following additional news: The Treaty of Peace. The London Post's Paris correspondent telegraphed on the ISth as follows: "A conference to settle the affairs of Italy has just been arranged at St. Clond, and the early part of next moanh Is Bp oken of ss the time at which the representativt of the parties Interested will assemble, but the place of their doing so. is not ytt mentioned." The Paris correspondent of the Daily News, after careful Inquiry, ttlirms that the terms of the peace have not only occasioned a feeling of snd even cf indignation among all those who took a sincere interest in the object of the war, but have very seriously damaged and lowered the Emperor In the opinion of all classes of society.

By tbe Turin correspondent of the Daily News the Pltdmontese are described as being a prey to grief and stupor in consequence the peace, which leavt Sardinia without a fortified frontier. The Opiclone, of Turin, does not conceal the dissatisfaction with, which it sees Venice remain in the Lands of Austria. It attributes Count a vour's resignation to the insufficiency of the terms cf peace. MOVEMENTS iy HALT. JThe Errperor of Austria, according to an official dispatch wcich tad reached Paris, commands the whole of lis force to remain in Pastron, and to be rrovided with food and military resources, just as they would have been had not peace been declared Two hundred French policemen were at the Ttuln reception of the Emperor.

The King's manr.fr towards the Emperor was cold, and there were no "Vivas" from the people for him. Chevalier Pertzgl had been sent from Florence to Paris on a special mission. The new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sardinia Is General DabormenL and the Minister of the In-UrlT is Signer Ratazi. The Governor cf Lombardv has cautioned edi tors against using invectives ia regard to recent events. ard recommend them to assume sentiments of moderation, under pain of suppression or suspension.

England. In the House of Coitmons, Mr. B. Cochrane gave notice that on the 22d he would call for the com spondence with, the British. Ministers at Paris and Turin Mgarding the armistice, and Mr.

Hors-man gave notice of a resolution that the wotks recessary for the country's defense should be provided for otherwise than by the annual vote of Parliament Lord Derby 8nd M. Disraeli had been entertained at a grand banquet by the party at the Mf rchant Tal 'ors' Hall, London, in recognition ef their political services. Many other rr embers of the late administration were present. The weather in England continued excessively tot, and the harvest in some places had commenced at a much earlier period than usual. France.

The Emperor arrived at St. Cloud on Sunday rnorntrg. the 17th Inst The Empress, with the Imperial Prince and the ladies and officers of the on se hold, were In waiting to receive him For mote than an hour at the railway station the little Prince wore his corporal's uniform, and had a laurel crown in Lis hand ready to give his father on his arrival As soon as the Emporor arrived be kissed the Empress, then took the Imperial Prince in his arm and held him for eooie minutes. He sfterwerd gave his arm to the Empress and proceeded in a carriage to the chateau. At noon ibe Emperor attended mass, and immediately Bfter received his ministers.

In some quarters here was an appearance that a reassuring manifesto from the Emperor was looked for. Prince Napoleon was expected ta reach. Paris on ar about the 19th of July. The weather coatinned very hot In France. Prussia.

The following order of the day to the army had been published: "At the morr ent wlen the broke out between two neighboring great Powers, I had ordered the arm to be placed in readiness for war, in orde to maintain that position of power which helots to Prussia. The danger which threatened us then Is over. While you were still marching to occupy the positions I had ordered for you, the belligerent powers concluded peace. Y'our advance had shown our flim resolution to maintain our frontiers and those of Germany inviolate." Whatever might be the destinies of war, you have shown the readiness I bad expected from you, and Lave maintained In general a dignity worthy of Prussia. You have made many persocal sacrifices, and I express to you my full satisfaction.

(Signed) The Prixcb Regent ce Prfssia. The Prussian Gazette say: "Gen. Field-Marshal Wrarigel has been relieved from the com mard-in-chief of the army, which was to have been concentrated on the Rhine." The Prussian Gz-tte publishes a leading article in defense of the attitude taken by Prussia during tbe last few months, and endeavors to prove that its policy bss prevented a universal war. The article lavs tbe chief stres on the fact that a realand substantial basis for joining in war was wanting. Tie article gees on thus: "Prussia can draw her sword for German and Pn.ssian interests, but not for maintaining or reestablishing a state of affairs In Italy which Austria herself has recognized as not maintainable, ner for sustaining isolated articles cf the treaties of 1S15." Tbe proposals for mediation made by Prussia were far more favorable than the preliminaries of peace which have now been agreed upon.

Portugal. The Queen of Portugal died on the ICth of July, from a severe attack cf sore throat. It will be remembered that shewas married only a few months since. Naples. Five Neapolitan vessels had landed 2,000 Swiss at Marseilles, and they at once proceeded to Geneva.

Altogether. Swiss had left the Neapolitan service, and the disbanding of many more was expected. l.nrge bodies of troops were being concentrated at Naples. "What is Squantum? Thlsisa great country" for new-fangled terms. The latestis "squantum," defined cs "a species of fun known to the Nantucket folks." Here's the description: "A party ff Indies and gentlemen go to one of the famoes watering places of resort where they fisb, d.rr clama, tnlk, laugh, sing, dance, play, bathe, sail, eat, and have a general "good time Tfcelocd generally consists of chowder baked clams, and fun.

is to go to Ohio. nir. waiwortn is icrr.sen ouna. Mr. R.

was in the front of the house. Has heard the cry of murder in Russell's house; a short time ago saw a son of Mrs. R. by a former husband run into the street and cry "murder." Henry Goodrich testified that he resides in Ais-quith street, near Thomson. On Tuesday last, while on the way to dinner saw some boys on the common at Belair market, and among them a child screaming; witness asked the little boy what was the matter, and he replied that he was hungry; took the child home and told Mrs.

that she ought not to treat him so: she replied that she had not given him any dinner and would not until his father went away, because he cried for his father; she said be was a bad child and that his temper would kill him. Mr. Gray testified that he lives next door to Russell's house; has frequently heard Russell and wife quarrel about the child; had beard the child say it did not get enough to eat, and heard him tell them that they were both down on him; has heard Mrs. say that the child caused all the trouble in the house; has heard her say that she was starved, and beard her tell Russell that she could whip him if she had had nothing to eat ail day; heard her tell him that he was lazy and lived on the labor of her children. Mrs.

White lives at No. 13 Thompson street; has heard the child crying for food at one o'clock at niffht; did not visit Russell's house. Mrs. W'hite, lives at No. 13 Thompson st opposite the house of Russell; heard Russell and wife quarreling at night about the child; was awekefrom her sleep by the noise made by them; heard rs.

say that the child would have to go away or she would kill him; she told Russell that he took the crust from her plate and gave it to the boy, and she would not allow him to be humored in any such way. Mrs ykes testified that she resides at No Thompson street; the child frequently came te her house through the back-gate, and asked for food; witness' mother always gave him something to eat; has saw both Mr. and Mrs. R. beat the child.

Mrs. Sophia Gray lives next door to the Russells; has seen both Russell and wife beat the boy. and has heard him cry for food; Mrs. R. treated her own children well enough thought the little boy suffered for food.

Thomas F. McCubbin testified that he had visited 's house, and always saw plenty to eat; Mrs. R. 's first husband was a brotter to witness' wife; did not go to house often. Several other witnesses were examined, but nothing new was elicited.

The child was produced and its arms bared, showing the body to be considerably I emaciated. By the order of the mayor he was placed In charged of Mrs Sykes, who was re-queuted to take care of him until the court should dispose of him. Mrs. Russell was then arrested, snd both were committed to jail in default of $500 bail each for their appearance before the Criminal Court. Last winter an elder brother of the boy now alleged to be so inhumanly treated died, and a jury summoned by Coroner Sparklin rendered a verdict of death from starvation.

At the request of Russell, coroner Nelson held another inquest, and tbe jury failed to agree, and thus the matter stood. Russell and wife subsequently gave the required bail and were discharged from custody. Suicide of a Stranger. At an early hour yester-ferday morning the bndy of sn unknownman was found suspended by the neck to the limb of a tree on the Belair road, near the Herring run bridge. Several of the people of the neighborhood assembled snd took the body down, when it presented a frightful spectacle.

It appeared that he attempted suicide by shooting himself with a pistol, and shot away nearly one entire side of his face. The pistol was found under the tree. W'hen the eff rt to destroy himself failed he climbed the tree and hung himself with a pocket handkerchief to a limb about twenty feet from the ground. Justice Dickel.of Baltimore county, held an inquest on the body, and the jury rendered a verdict in ac cordance with the above facts. He was apparently about 35 years of age, of medium size, with auburn hair, inclined to curl, and sallow complexion.

He wore a brown cloth frock coat, black cloth pants and vest and black silk hat. On his person were found twenty-seven cents and some csrds and papers, the last of whichled to the supposition that he was a German, and from New York. Justice Dickel had th bodv interred and iook charge of the papers found on "the body. He had not before been seen in the neighborhood, and it was thought the fatal act was committed at a late hour on Saturday night or early yesterday morning. r- Death of Mrs.

Dvffey Mrs. Katora or Kate Dufl'ey, who was shot on the night of Thursday, July 21st, died yesterday morning from the wounds at the dwelling of her husband, on Henrietta st. The facts of the shooting, as far as thev transDired were made public by the arrest, examination and ischarge of a party charged with being the person who fired the pistol. The bill struck tbe deceased in the left side of the neck, and parsed Into the brain, frcm whence it was never extracted. Death hrs resulted within ten days.

The offspring of the woman survives its mother, though-it is thought it ear-not live long, as the birth was hastened bv the calamity which overtook the mother. At 4 o'ock yesterday afternoon Dr. Battee. coroner for the southern district, summoned a i' ry of inquest at the house, and with William as foreman, proceeded to take the testimony bearing on the case. The witnesses were Doctors Hyser and Colburn.

Abraham Duffey, (ine Justus netier, ana John Craig. No new llsht was thrown upon the case, and tiie evidence did not differ from that heretofore given. The jury, rfter viewing the body, adjourned to the office of the coroner, where they rendered the loncwing vera lei: cat ivaiara, or Kate Duney, came to her death by a gun-shot or pistol wound fired from a weapon In the hands of some person or petsoiis unknown." The deceased will be buried to-morrow. A Habeas Corpus. In the City Circuit Court on Saturday, the case of James M.

Slaughter, charared with obtaining money under fals pretences from a citizen of Hinds county, Mississippi, came up for a hearing before Judge Krebs on a writ of habeas corpus. Messrs Wallis, Thomas and Brent, appeared, for the respondent the sheriff of Baltimore; and Messrs Schley and Spraaue for tbe petitioner.

Claimed that the petitioner has been a citizen of Maryland residing in Baltimore since 1839, and has not fled from the State of Mississippi; that the warrant cf Gov.

Hicks was not issued in coniormity with law; that there was no irdictment perding against Slauahter at tLe time of the issuing cf the requisition of the Governor of Mississippi: and petitioner asked that an opportunity be given him to summon witnesses to'prove the alleghtions he makes, Mr. Schley opem tbe argument in the case, on a motion to discharge the prisoner, bnd when he concluded, the court i 1 i i cfjourneu iin mis morning. will ue continued to-day.

The August Elections. To-day, August 1, the people of Alabama, Kentucky and Texas choose respectively State officers, Legislature and members of Congress; in Tennessee the same duty is to be discharged on Thursday, August 4, and In North Carolina on Thursday, the Ilth, members of Congress are to be chosen. In Alabama, Andrew B.

Moore, the present executive, is the regular democratic candidate, and is opposed by W. F. Samford, independent. In one or two of the congressional districts the regular democratic nominations are opposed by independents. In Kentucky, full tickets have been nominated by both parties.

Joshua F. Bell is the opposition, and Beriah Magoffin the democratic candidate for Governor. The canvass has been animated ar.d both parties are confident of victory. In Texas Gan. Houston Is running for Governor as an Independent democratic, in opposition to Hardin Runnels, the regular nominee.

Houston's chances of success are thought to be good. The contest in Tennessee has been very spirited. John Nethetland is the opposition and Isham G. Harris the democratic candidate for. Governor.

Opposition nominations have been made in all the congressional districts except the 61b, where J. H. Thomas and Wm. Polk, both democrats, have the contest to themselves. In the ICth district two democrats are running against opposition nominee.

The congressional canvass in North Carolina has been unusually spirited. The democrats have renominated all thetr members in the present House, and John A. Gilmer, who is the only opposition member in the present delegation, has also been renominated. Affairs in Cecil County. We copy the following from the two Elkton papers: Sale of Wood Lawn.Mta.

George Burrows, late of Newtown, and formerly Professor at Lafayette College, sailed for California in the Moses Taylor, a few weeks ago.

Mr. Burrows was for a number of years pastor of the West Nothinguam Presbyterian Church in this county. The Oats Crop. The farmers of this county are nearly, if not quite done cutting oats; many would have finished last week, but for the rains. The oats rop of this county is large, and a number of farmers intend thrashing from the field.

Improvements Six new brick houses are to be erected in PortDeposite, on the site of the bulld-iDgs destroyed by the late fire, Mr. Elijah Reynolds, contractor. Burglary and Robbery. The barn of R. F.

Bid-die, near this town, was entered on Thursday night and robbed of sixteen-bushels of corn. General Stites's warehouse, near the railroad station, was entered the same night, also the railroad station office. A dollar and a few cens were taken from the confectionery. A man from New York has been arrested on suspicion. At rest of a Slave.

Henry Dunmore, a slave for a term of years, belonging to Davidson D. Pearce, left for parts unknown about two weeks since. On Saturday Mr. P. ascertained that he had been arrested near tbe Slab tavern in York county, Pa ten miles above the Maryland line, by two white men, who had secreted him and refused to deliver him up for less than $200.

This Mr. P. refused to give, when they proposed to accept S30 if he would meet them late at night at the Maryland line. Suspecting some deep laid plan Mr. P.

also refused this proposition, and parted company with the two men. The slave, it appears, was merely on a visit to York county, and Intended, h8d he not been arrested, to return to his master, with wLem he had only three years to serve. Africa for the Africans The colored peo. pie of this country are to hold a convention In Boston, commencing to-day, to discuss the present condition and future prospect of the colored race in this country, and see what measures can be devised for their benefit. The Newburyport Herald, one of the most sensible and practical of our republican exchanges, says: All true friends of the colored race will adopt the motto, "Africa for the Africans." The present condition is that of slavery and subjection all over the land, nor does it promise to be any better in the future.

The only national measures that will help them, are the suppression of the slave trade; the recognition of the nationality and independence of Hayti and Liberia; aud the establishment of a line ef steamers to the African coast, that will carry passengers at the lowest rates and give frequent communication between the two continents. It is all nor sense to talk about an equality of races on this continent; it will not be in this century, if It is in the next. Death by Poison. Mr. Charles Lelsenring, of Northumberland county, lost one of his children, about four years old, from the effects of pol ion, on Sunday The mother had been using corrosive sublimate to destroy bed bugs, which she usually kept In a bettle, locked up, but in this instance she had neglected to put it away, and the child by some means got hold of It.

The Sunbury American says: These distressing casualties should impressupon parents snd others the great danger cf using poisons and leaving them expoted, especially in a family ef children. Another thing should be remembered, that in all such cases of poison an emetic is the first remedy, which can be had in almost every household, namely: a spoonful of mustard in a tumbler ef warm water, ard drank down at once, will prove mot effectual. After th's the white of eggs, freely administered, will absorb the remainiDgpidson. Fatal Affray in Somerset County A few days ago, at Dulaney's Store, near Tony-Tank, Somerset county, a difficulty occurred between James Kent and Henry Twigg, which resulted in the death of the latter. The Union says: During the quarrel Twigg seized a stone with wnicn ne attempted to strike Kent, whereupon Kent inflicted a blew upon the head of Twigg with a part of a carriage shaft which he held in his hand, a scuffle ensued, and they were parted by friends some hours afterwards Twigg was found dead in the county road near the store He is sup-posed to havs died from the effects of the blow inflicted by Kent Nothing to Wear The New York Express pubiishes a statement of the business done at that pcit in foreign dry goods for the past month.

Hall's Journal of Health for August says: From one square foot of the paper taken from a room which was papered with one of the tufted or flock green papers, thirty grains of the powder was scrtped off' and sent to a chemist; and the amount of solid arsenic in it was eleven grains more than one-third. These green paper hangings are more poisonous to the air of the room when they are not glazed, but velvety, and have the figure standing out from the paper. Savikg Time A clergyman, who enjoys the substantial benefits of a'line farm, was slightly taken down, a few days ago, by his Irish plowman, who was sitting at his plow, in a tobacco field resting his horse.

The reverend gentleman, being a great economist, siid with great serious, ness "John, would 'nt it be a good plan for you -to have a stub scythe here and be hubbing a few bushes along tbe fence while the horse is testing?" John, with quite as sprious a countenance as the divine wore himself, "Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to have a tub o' potatoes in the pulpit, and when they are singing, to jjeel 'em awhile to be ready for the- pot?" The reverend gentleman laughed heartily and left. "A New National Issue." The Bowling reen Gazette states that la the counties of Ed-mondpon and Butler, in Kentucky, two candidates for the Legislature have sprung a new State question. There has been a law in Kentucky for some time past that gives a reward to any person who shall kill a red fox. Now, one of these candidates takes the position that instead of red fox, any should be inserted. He says there are many sections of the State where there are no red foxes, and he thinks that the law should be so changed as to give Kentuckians generally, tbe benefit of it.

The other opposes it as bitterly as the first named advocates it.

The race will take place to-day. "Broker's" antagonist is "Rome CLiei." Mr. Buchanan asp the Next Presidency. It is surprising that a number of journals which profess to be the warmest friends of Mr Buchanan are, apparently, the most reluctant to believe his word to give him credit for speaking with candor and sincerity. He Las repeatedly declared that he will not be a candidate for re-election, and this declaration he has recently repeated with increased emphasis.

Yet, his pretended eulogists are not satisfied. They persist in speaking of him as a candidate. The New York Sun, in referring to this subject, remarks: "We consider it nnkind, if not of the nature of an Insult, for tl ose who are supposed to enjoy more or less of Mr-Buchanan's confidence, to be laboring to create the impression that he does not speak his real purpiose when he announces that he looks forward with pleasure to the time when he shall lav as de the cares and responsibilities of office. If tfcey were sincerely his friends; if their regard for him were as strong as they would have him believe it to be, they would not treat with Incredul-ousness his avowed determination not, In an contingency, to be a candidate for re election. For our own part, we accept Mr.

Buchanan's declaration, made when entering upon tbe duties of his office, ar.d repeated since, as conclusive proof that he will not seek to serve a second term. Tbe tner.sure of his ambition has been filled; his vears ere better suited to the quiet and repose of privrtelife than to tha tolls and harrassing ctres of public station. For nearly half a century in his country's service. End rewarded at iast with the higlest office the giftcf his countrymen, he may-well say. "I have had my share of the labors and hoivoisof Government, and with the close of my presidential term my public life shall end." We hope then, that Mr Buchanan's fixed resolve not again to be a candidate will be respected bv political journals.

Itcanorly be annoying to him to Bi llis own friends distrustful, and, under the guise of compliment, exposing him to detraction and the arrows of spiteful opponents. He must take an interest in the success of that party to which he owes his elevation, and he will, no-doubt, laying aside personal feelings and prejudices, give the weight of his influence to that candidate who is most likely to unite the democracy In his support, and lead them to another victory. Abmt Intelligence Companies and K. of 4th artillery, under command of Brevet Major Pemberton and Captain DeRussy, arrived at Fort Ridgely on July 9. Companies Capt.

A detachment of recruits for the mounted rifles, in charge of Major Sibbly, 3d infantry, left Fort Leavenwcrtfc on the 10th Julv, for their regiment, at present stet'ioned in New Mexico. The following are the officers of the detachment: Brev. Lieut. Col. Porter, Capt.

Life-Presbrvisg Railroad Car. TheN Y. Postnot'ces amongst the latest inventions, a life-preserving rtilrosd car.

made at Paterson, New Jersey. It is constructed entirely of iron, of strong iran brpces and girders, and of iron panel pieces, so peculiarly anf ingeniously put together that it would seem to be impossible, by any amount of force, to bend or break it, or to do injury to it even by rolling it down a precipice. The interior is finished off In the most elegant manner. Every panel has a fine papier mache picture in it repre-seniir some famous view or monument; the seats are capacious, and the ventilators numerous and apparently efficient. The car, owing to the greater thinness of the iron sides, is eight inches wider than the narrow-gauge cars are usually, and weighs less by a ton than a wcoden car of the same dimensions.

This ia certainly a desideratum, for, In proportion to numbers, tbe battle of Solferiao was not more fatal in the destruction of human life than some of the late railroad disasters. Arrest of a Physician ox a Charge of Attempting to Kill his Wife. Dr. Frank Royal, formerly of Lynchburg, Va and at one time a surgeon in the U. S.

army, has been arrested In Chicago, charged with cutting the throat of his wife. The wound wes inflicted on tbe right side of the neck, about an inch in depth, and extending tip-wards acd forwards nearly two inches. The artery was not severed, and the wound upxn examination by physicians was pronounced not fatal, it is alleged that the doctor and his wife were out walking when the affair occurred.

Mr. Raymond, in a letter from Paris, thus corrects a popular error respecting the correspondence cf the London Times from the seat of war: I see that you attribute to Russell the letters from the French ct mp which have appeared In the London Times duriDg this campaign. This is a mistake. They were written by a Hungarian colonel, and have been admirable, both from tbeir clesr military accuracy and the fidelity with which they describe the country and the pjersonal incidents ci tne war. Kusseu was anxious to join tbe army on landing at Marseilles, and in spite of all that is said to the contrary would have had not the slightest difficulty in doing so.

But his health has suf fered very severely from his residence in India, and he was not equal to the fatigue and labor of a. rr i i anomer campaign, tie nas a aaugnter at scnoot here in Paiis, and is expected here with Mrs. R. in a lew aays. Great Hail Storm in New Hampshire.

A letter dated North Sanbornton, N. July 27th, says: we naa a terrinc tnnaer storm, accompa nied with hail.

It is enough to make any ore feel sick to look out of the windows tbe trees all leafless the grape-vines all sone. and evervthino- locks sad and fsll-like. It is now the middle of the afternoon, and there has not been heat enough the sunshine to melt the hail-stones yet." The Catholic Press and the Treaty of Peacb. It is interesting to see tbe effect tbe treaty of peace between France and Austria has upon the tonecf the Catholic press in France, in En land and in The leading Catholic journals of the three countries take different views on the subject.

Thus tbe Univers regards it as a grand tritmph cf the Church, and is most enthusiastic in its rejoicings, while the London Tablet and Weekly Register sees in the treaty nothing but cause for the most serious apprehensions of an invasion from Fiance. The two lsst mentioned papers are the leading Catholic journals of England. The Dublin Catholic Telegraph speaks of acoalition against England composed of France, Austria and Russia, as full of the worst forebedings. Patmhxt of American Claims Against Chtxa.

The construction of the Washington National Monument, after a suspension of several years, is about to be resumed. Systems to raise funds for the prosecution of the work have been put in operation, and it is proposed to request the postmasters throughout the country to give aid to the enterprise by placing boxes within their respective effices for the reception of contributions, and forwarding the returns to Wasnington.

A few cents a month from the thirty thousand post offices would suffice, in a few years, to raise the snaft to its intended height. The postmasters of many of the principal cities, including those of New York, Washington, Bos-tbn, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Charleston! have already expressed their readiness to lend It a cordial co-operation. Tbe Postmaster General has written a letter to Lieutenant Ives, the engineer in charge of the Monument, saying, "It is the privilege of others associated with the postal service, irfcommon with all other citizens, to give to this enterprise such support as their judgments and feelings may It is as citizens and not as officers, that their influence will be invoked, and I doubt not that in this laudable endeavor worthily to illustrate and perpetuate the fame of tbe Father of his Country they will yield to none in the promptness aad earnestness of their co-operation."

Alleged Inhvmanity to a Child A few days since complaint was made to Captain Brashears, of the middle district police, by people residing in the neighborhood, that a man named William Rursel and bis wife, who reside in Thompson street, near the Belair market, were starving a little boy of six years, a child of Russell's by a former wife. The complaints were so frequent that Capt.

B. called on Justice Rldgaway and obtained warrants for the arrest of the parties that the matter might be thoroughly investigated. Accordingly at a late hour on Friday night, officer Pettinger took Rusfell into custody and conducted him to the middle dislrict police he was detained until Saturday morning. He was then arraigned before John T. Ford, mayor ex when the following testimony bearing on the charge was elicited: Captain Brsshesrs testified to Lis agency in the am st as above stated but bad no personal know-ltdpe of anything pertaining to it.

Officer Gosnell "testified that while In his house, Bdioinirigthat in which Russell and wife reside, on Tuesday last, he heard the child screaming and ran out to hear the cause; he saw several persons stundir.g at the head of the alley leading to Russell's house, and heard the child tell thern that he W8s hungrv and that he was starving to death; witness' wife then went out and took the boy into her house and gave him food; he ate voraciously; Mrs. Russell afterward came into witness' house with her voupgest child, and the latter picked up nceat that bad been thrown into the yard and ate it. Mrs. R. did not obiect to the child having gone Into the bouse of witness, but he objected to go heme with her; the complaint of the neighborhood about the treatment of the child is constant; witness believes Russell to be the father of the bov Henrv Gosnell testified to the same facts about the treatment of the boy.

On Tuesday last, while Mr. Russell was in witness' house, she said she had rut the child out of the back gate because he tried for his dinner, which sue said sue wouio not give him until his fathercomehome. Mrs R.took the child heme with her, but he did not want to go. Shortly after witness beard the child crying again, and she went to the house to see what was the found him in the yard; went to the back door ar.d Tapped; the door was fasttr.ed and W'illlam Fleming, and it so appeared because it was on tbe police record. It now appears that it was Patrick and not William Fleming, at whose house the rebbcry is alleged to have occurred and who was arrested.

Tbe house of William Fleming is next door to that of Patrick, and the warrant and the record were both wrong. Bold Ralbery. Yesteiday while Mr. W.
