Month 12A, 1838. To William II. Keating, Secretary iro lera. of tne roiice vxHTinmiee, Respected Frietkl TIij last coramunkatioii, invitins us to lunitsh to the lyomroittee of Councils, this evening, any information which we may poesess relation to the destruction of the rcnnsylvania Hall, nas been received. In our letter of tlie 5 tli bit nut, we slated our intention to make a public statement of that disgraceful outrage.

1 ime has not permitted ua to ptvpare such a document, and we may doubt wheuier the period, has yet arrived when the history of the short existence and destruction of the Pennsylvania Hall, would be diapassionately read and coolly decided upon. Of the time and manner of making such puutication, we request to oe permit ted to judge hereafter, according to existing eir cumstarrces. la respect to the call for information in relation to tlie investigation of the conduct of the Mayor of the City on that occasion, we have only to repeat the views contained in the letter of Samuel Webb, dated tbe ah instant. To furnish such informs tkm would involve the necessity, in justice to that officer, of substantiating it by itnesaes, and thus we aliould eventually assume the office of inform ers and of prosecutors. The office we liave not sought, nor do we wish to be "drawn II HO IIS CA ercise.

Our noaitiao is aimnlr this. we erected a Hal for lawful objects, and used it only in the exercise of rights guarantied by tlie constitution to all American citizens. We built it under the pro teciion of the law, and trusted it to the protection of 'tlie lawin tlie heart of the city and wlien we had been assailed by lawless force, and were threatened whli its repetition, surrendered it at his request iulo theustotrV of the Chief Ex ecutive officer of the City of Philadelphia. It was not protected, and it perished from the assaults of the mob and torch or tlie incendiary. Whetiier the Mayor of the City had the means under his control to protect the property, and did not exert litem, or waa not lurnnneu whii uuevjuuie resources for that object, we eonceive can be readily and better ascertained from other sources than ourselves.

WeilNKSUA Y.JULY Irt. 3. Ou CiTYThe Boston Journal complaina of ourriry, for permitting gaming tables to be erected on the Fourth of July, on ground opposite to Fairraount The Journal ia right in holding tip to public indignation, this scandalous outrage of law and decency, and the acandaloua neglect of civil authority in thua permitting it it noon day. But the Journal ia wrong in imputing tbia delinquency specially to the city of Philadelphia. The place in which this abomination waa exhibited, is beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the city, and in that of another corporation.

The Journal is not probably aware of our municipal offliction. The county of Philadelphia contains several dis tinct and independent corporations, among whit are Philadelphia city, the Northern Liberties, Penn Township, Spring Garden, Kensington, South work and Moyamensing. Each of these has its distinct municipal government, and all of them constitute that continuous and contigmout auccesaion of streets and edifices, which, to stranger, appear aa on city. Philadelphia pro per extenda from the Delaware east, to the Schuy kill west, and from Cedar street (pronounced SoulA street) south, to Vina street, (pronounced Wine atreet) north. It therefore does not include Fairmount, which is north of Vine street, and much leu the public gaming groundivUiKl still further north.

Fairmount is the property of the city, but not within its territorial limile. Fairmount and the public gaming ground are within the corporation ef Spring Garden; conse quently the duty ef suppressing this abomination devolves upon the authorities of that corporation, and upon the Sheriff! whose jurisdiction covers the whole county. The effect of this division of jurisdictions is ex ceedingly injurious to the morals and good government of the whole, especially of the cityi for it leada to jealousies and conflicts among their different governments, tending greatly to encour age disorders. A rogue may be chased by a con stable to the southern side of Cedar street, and then turn round and laugh in the law's face, secure in the territory ol foreign country! A mob of ruffians may assemble in Kensington, Penn Township or Spring Garden, make a descent upon the city, accomplish their lawless purpose, snd when chared by the Mayor and his officers, may go in defiance from the north line of Wine street. Should our authorities demand from those ef Southwark, the delivery of some violator of our city ordinances, they might take nothing by their motion for the delinquent might keep pawnbroker's shop for the reception of stolen goods, i grog shop for manufacturing thieves and mobs, and be a punctual tenant, at a high rent, to some one of the authorities of the corporation in which he resides.

But a stranger will ask, why is this permit ted Why do not the sober citizens of all these corporations spply to the Legislature for an act to unite them nnder one efficient We answer, because the abomination of partisan politics presents an insuperable obstacle. One party has a majority in the city proper, and the other in most of the ether corporations out of it; aad to retain the emoluments of office, the politi ciana who manage these affairs, oppose the union here suggested, and leave the quarter of a mil lion of people who occupy this whole territory ceered with buildings, and which strangers mistake for one city, to the mugovernment resulting from independent and hostile jurisdictions. We advise the people, not the rabble xf boys and loafers" who miscall themselves such, and whose only bus in ess is to break the laws, but the lax ptyers, the bueinete doer, to consider of these things. They wont security in minding their own business. But they barter this security for the benefit of political fortune hunters, who would as soon thrive by picking pockets as pro tecting rights.

We advise the sober citizens of oil these corporations to wake up, to exsmine this subject carefully, and then decide for whose benefit they tolerate these iiecordunt gotenwvnU. and forego the advantages of one.

A correspondent who calls himself Don Juon," complains of thd keeper of a China shop in Chesnut Street, not a thousand miles from the Masonic Hall, for his want of taste in hia choice of subjects for eihibition at his shop and on his steps.

We agree wilh our correspondent, and insist thst the dealer inomiAdMes might keep some of his wares a little less in sight, without inju7 to his reputation for delicacy. Among the last to encourage the immodest yoC effected modesty, we perceivf no necessity for flying to one eitreme, to avow another. We would not have the keeper ol a China shop lock up any of his wares in ostenta tious seclusion, and sell them ith a mighty pa rade of secrecy But to avoid tbia, he should not thrust them foremost as signs of his trade. Take them from your front steps, and windows, put them in your bock room, or 'the unostentatious portion of your front room, and sell them when called for, without making any mouths.

In New York, on Monday morning at 3 o'clock. a black man, named Phillip, a barber, got out of bed and cut his wife's throat ao effectually that she died in a very few minutes.
