Pursuant to a call, there wu a large meetina; of the membera of tho Bar held, yesterday. In the District Court Room, to ex pree their opinion In relation to the proposed remoTal of the public building to Penn Square. Thomas Dunlap, Esq presided, with Joseph P. Longhead and Edward Wain. Esq.

as Secretaries. After the Chairman had stated I the object of the meeting, Mr. Palethorp of zerea tne roiiowing; resolution: Resolved. That tho Bar of Philadelphia are oppoaed to moving; the Oonrta and Oounty Buildings to Penn Square. jonn j.

Bniiitu uq morea tne appoint raent of a committee of fire to draft reaoln. tion expreaal re of the aenae of the meeting, and that Mr. Paletnorp'e resolution be referred to that committee. This was agreed to, and the committee, con itlng of John O. Bullitt, W.

Lv Hirt, A. V. Parages, O. Ingersoll, George II. Wharton 2d At.

Palethorp, after a abort absence, re ported the following reeolutions Resolved. 1st, That the Bar ot Philadelphia deem the lemoyal of the Court Houses and the office connected therewith to Penn Square aa Injudicious, unnecessary, and Inconvenient to the business community. ReaolTed, Sd, That the Important legal question connected with the removal of the pub He buildings ought, in the opinion of thia meeting, to be submitted to the Supreme Court of the State for determination, before any further action under the recent act of Assembly can be safely taken. aa George R. Smith asked a division question, as there might be a difference opinion In regard to the first resolution, but none as to the second.

The division was allowed, and on the firat resolution there waa considerable discussion. W. Dennis, moved that It lie on the table. W. Hirst, Esq.

Why 1 Mr. Dennis Because there may be something to say on both aide of the question. Mr. Hirit Now la the time to user It, then. Mr.

Dennis then proceeded. He had paid aome attention to thia matter, and he did not believe it In the power of a single gentleman to maintain the position taken In the firat resolution. There can be but a single object la locating a const house in a community, and that object 1 not tb accommodate those who have their office around the present building the oniy object that anybody can have la to accommodate the entire community. If that is the object of erecting new buildings, where shall we locate them 1 I am met with the assertion, "Among the business men of our Where are the business men of Philadelphia located Axe they located only on Market, Chesnnt, Second, Third and Fourth streets 1 I contend that the business men are scattered over the entire community. The men who are toll In in manufactories on the Sshuyl kill are business men: the men who are at work in their shops in tne western, and northern portions of the are our business men; for, it Philadelphia has a business at all, it is a manufacturing business.

Wow, who are the par ties who come into courts 1 There are two thousand inrors drawn, every year, from the body of the county. They spend two week in this cowt (District), and six weeks In the court below tAYiarter Sessions), and if the business of the cfty is local, Its jurors are not, for they are called from all portions of the city. Where are the mechanics for the mechanic' lien business is one of the largest branches of our business in these courts. These mechanics are scattered over all the city. Again, there are atleaatone tuoueand eatatea of decedents settled in the Orphans' Court every year, and If it is supposed that busix ess is restricted to the eastern section of the city, death ia net loeaL In these one thousand cases the business ia scattered over the entire city.

There ia still another item. The witnesses brought "into court are no small affair. At least one hundred persons are summoned as witnesses every day tbat the oonrta ait, from all parts of the county. Now, as to the centre the community, that Is difficult to settle it is somewhere between Thirteenth an Vine and Thirteenth and Greea streets; and, with these facts, it is almost simply absurd to say that it is mre convenient for the masses to come bore than to Broad and Market streets. Seventy years ago the court were at Second and Market streets, and they were then removed up here, and the change was really greater than it would be now to take these buildings across the river.

Personally, it would be an incon venienee to the speaker; but he did not consider that should have any weight la the determination of this question. Mr. BuUitt, in reply, said ho believed every 'advocate of the proposed removal put it upon the ground that tha community will demand it hereafter that these buildings are to be erected, not for tike present, but for the future. Now, be waa willing to do as much for posterity as any man. but he thought It better to look a little to the present; and he was not willing to ereet buildings to nit posterity, to the entire) inconvenience of the present.

A regards the business community, be had a word to say. Ail a man had to do was to look at the population during buslnees hours, aad then see wnere the butns was. If they went only at that hoar, rone o'elock,) from Ninth street down Ohesuat to the Delaware, the would find a crowd all the way. If thhy went along Second atreet and. front street, they wouia una nm same uur.

So along Market street to Ninth bat at Ninth thaw would find tha bnsinsa failing OtT. and at Rroad street thev would find nothing; during? puilnnas ztowrs, oat women inn craiurMii servants, it aa no require nvj wjanww prove thI3 It only required a man to exercise ti. srv siB ht. As to the arcttinoat based oa too centre of i the populattoB, it would be just as weU to say tnattcas prcuo uvimvt oi should be located TtoA a wwtre ar the Eastern District, instead of Philadelphia and yet the profession tha Diatrlet axe becoming convineed that Philadelphia, Uia Strnne verge of the DUtiiot, the spot for locating It permanently, asare con vealent of accef Laith Interior centre of busin era in regard ff nlence of the members of the bar, thai did taot the deration of. thTett lis did not beUeve that many of the 1Tr cotTwM rn or aire nrJSfr Prleee ef AvrtlsJnala tho Le wr.

1 jji llQO PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY would remove thetr offices, but their client arid witnesses were Interested, aa the removal of tha aowrt bouaes would prove in cp ivnatlent Tievi, ui comuui com itvwwo una muinou. Ex Judge Parsons supported the reaolatjens With oae or two from practical experience. Prom an bsarvatioa of test years on the bench and seven years at the bar, he considered himself competent to say something about tho centre of the business community, while altUnr in the various courts, he made ap his mind that at least two thirds Of the wttnesaea. Jurors and partlea come from that portion of the dry est of Sixth street. The i business men congregate about the Etchaagv, while a large portion of the mechanics reside in the northeastern and south eaatern portions i the city.

11 K. Prioe, Eiq next addressed the meet lag; aad said It waa very evident that the com natty would perceive, or auspect, that the msmbera of the bar ara very much influenced by their own selfish Interests la this matter. He apprthended this meeting would not have much weight with the community, as the mem bers were interested on account of their offices. So far as his own liter eats were concerned It mad little difference where the buildings were toasted, bat at the same time It would be gratifying te his feelings if he could see in the sfun where they now are. aotbisg to obstruct tne view of that hallowed Hall of Independence, or that hallowed monument that is to be erected.

If the square was left unobstructed, people around the neighborhood would find their property enhanced In value, and they would not Buffet the depreciation now apprehended. And If bia brethren felt there was a depreciation of their property pending, he sympathised with them. As to the argument of population, that would have Its lnfiaeace upon the people at large. He recollected having this question of a centre some ten or fifteen years ago, on the Philosophical Society, and then the centre was ascertained to be at Seventh and Willow streets. The latter progress of the elty, he was Informed, had placed the centre at Twelfth and Spring Garden streets.

Mr. Price next reviewed the inaction of the members of the Bar in relation to the aet of Assembly, until after the act had passed and was about being carried into operation, and' a site selected. He considered this a reproach to the profession The act waa a bad one. That the Legislature ahould assume to appoint nine men, six of them not of the corporation of these1 councils of Philadelphia, to decide this ques tion of the buildings, their erection, their location, their costs, was an outrage. These Com missioners have also the power to affix the corporate seal to the bonds to pay for these buildings.

That was atrocious leglala'lon, and he hoped another resolution would be Intro ducedT condemning this special legislation. Benjamin Rush, foUowed, in opposition to the resolution. He was surprised to find his friend. Judge Parsons, differing with Bishop Berkley, that Westward the star of. empire takes Its way." He urged that no great or important change was ever suggested without meeting with strong objections, and he instanced the introduction of gas and passenger railways.

Geo. M. Wharton. favored the resolu tion. He knew it was difficult for any person to express his opinion upon any question without being accused of interested motives.

everybody must take the risk or that imputa tion. But so far as the members of the bar were concerned, he doubted if the charge conld successfully be maintained, as few of them owned real estate and outlying lots on which to i peculate. He was not aware that the bar was under any reproach in regard to this particular act of Assembly, as the bar had nothing to do with Its passage. Thev were only Informed of that which has been publicly proclaimed, and when the matter was reaching a crisis they had a right to meet and take some action. The question was narrowed down to one of removal.

The committee say it is injudicious, Ac, and the community ought to have before them the arguments in favor of a removal, without reference to any particular spot. Gentlemen say, many years hence Broad and Market streets will be the centre of the city. Perhaps that may be so. pernaps not. it does not ioilow that it is a true prophecy.

The city may take a turn in anotner airecuov, ana spprenena tne true wisdom of legislation Is to legislate for the present, not disregarding the future entirely. Is it necessary to remove our buildings to Broad and Market and Is it called for by reason of any interest of the business community I If such is the fact, then I have nothiag to say against it. But the question is, what is the centre of the business community 1 If Sixth and Chesnut is so. then the Question aeema to me to be settled, because when we are asked to go away rrom tnai centre, it is to some spot that is to be the probable centre at some future day; and the spot selected is, by the way, owe of the aaoe xtoiey In ahe oUy. it is said tnat tne nuisance ox a rauroaa win be removed at some future dav.

I doubt the certainty of this prediction; It maybe so. I only know the railroads now exiat: and I am asked to leave cne spot, because it is noisy, to So te another equally as noisy and I to ear some good reason for the removal. I do not mean to say that I am not In favor of a cnange in tne present uourt nouses, out i ao say that all the changes can be effected without marring this hall, and without casting a shadow upon the proposed monument. Decide now what the interest of the community demand at the present lime, and then erect the buildings but do not enter on a magnificent scheme to erect a building at Broad and Mar ket at a cost of we know not what. Certainly the business is now ease of Ninth and while frentlemen are talking of going west, I suppose is no part of their design to remove the river Delaware to Broad and Market That river will flow In its present channel for the next seventy years, and there will continue te be our shipping, with its attendant business of banks.

Insurance companies, Post office and United States Courts. James E. Gowen next advocated the passage of the resolution. In reference to the imputation cast by Mr. Price, he said it was a little singular that the gentleman himself did not consider it worth while to inaugurate the movement in opposition to the bill.

Mr. G. said he could eee nothing in a geographical centre for the Courts. The mechanics of Richmond are nearer to Sixth and Chesnnt than to Broad and Market. The people of German town and Manayunk, coming to Ninth and Green, are nearer to Sixth and Chesnut than to Broad and Market.

In a word, all the lines of communication made Sixth and Chesnnt nearer to the people than Broad and Market, therefore more convenient and less expensive to them. Horn George R. Smith, late Senator for Philadelphia, addressed the meeting In explanation of the act of assembly. He denied that it was Introduced in the spring. It first appeared In January, and during all the time it was pending, but one gentleman connected with City Councils (Mr.

Neal) thought proper to object to Its passage, and he objected to the Commission. Another member of Councils, and now at member of the Board of Commissioners, visited Harrisbnxg, and urged ita passage, as nothing was to be expected from Council, and it was at that gentleman' suggestion that the Presidents of the two branches of Council were added to the Commissioners. Mr. Smith said it was no unusual thing for counties to go to the legislature for Commissioners to create new county buildings, and he instanced the last session when Dauphin county was an appUeans. Gen.

Horatio Hub 66,1 lbilowed in support of the resolutions, prngJo haye some in teres! in the matter, and CmtlntpreBt leading him to favor I ndependwhceTSquare. He regretted that his friend, Mr. Price, had asserted In advance that the meeting would have no influence.1 He did not concur with him in that opinion. The people look to the bar to lead them upon all questions of public right, because public rights and the legal rights of citizens are the particular subjects of study by the profession, and they are therefore the moat familiar with them, and most able to give ccunael which may be safely and advantageously followed. He knew there were some men always anxious to place the bar in the rear upon all occasions; but he believed the profession still ranked high with the community, In regard to Mr.

Price's charge of silence on the part of the members of the bar, until the law waa passed. Gen. H. said it was a custom of the profession te give no opinion until aeked for one. It wae their habit to hold their tongues until they were told to speak, and ft was not the part of the members of the bar to fly to Harrisbnxg to undertake to dictate what legislation is proper to the profound wisdom; there assembled.

They knew their business better than that. Bnt when the proper time came to act, the members of the bar were ready and would act with decision. This CTy of removing the court houses was He eonld recollect when the attention of the grand jury was regularly directed to tha accommodations of the courts, Ac, and out came a regular presentment with "You must have new court houses." Of course he ceuld not say that anybody was interested In ball ding lots, and wonld not say so because he had no proof. Bat eacn things have been. This periodical attack came about every ten years, and then we hear all sorts of stories of.

Sheeting ef Culprit In Court Reem by a Woman. A Mrs. Help was vLiting a lady' friend, at br residence in Carson valley, California. Her husband and daughter, about seven years old, were with her. They came over the plains last year.

The wife. In order to help support the family, had just opened a laundry. It appears that, during the spring, they had allowed a sick and frosted man to come to their house, and to whom they frequently gave meals. He was a thick set, bad looking man, apparently a mixture of Mexican, Indian and negro blood; has always been suspected of having been one of Tom Bell's gang of murderers. He lately returned there, and has constantly insulted Mrs.

H. by viaking Improper advances, which reeulted in his being often cent away. They live in a tmall boarded house, at the lower end of street. Night before lart, the fellow fired several balls through it, very nearly killing the hut band and daughter. The wife escaped with her child to a neighboring tavern.

Yesterday afternoon, there was a deal of excitement in relation to it, and about the middle of the day he came in advance of a mob, and took his eat on some lumber, directly across the seat from the door, and it was supposed that they were then going to lynch him. It was subsequently at certained that Judge Cradle baugh had issued a warrant for his arrest, and that he had avowed he would kill the woman and her family, and which, judging from his desperate character, he would have done. On the 2d inst about 3 P. Mn those in tie room occupied by Wells, Fargo A Co. were startled by the near report of a pistoL On going to the door, they found that the disturbance originated in the next room.

It was ascertained that the fellow, having been arrested, had been undergoiae; iu that room a preliminary investigation before Judge Cradle baugh, who decided to hold him in 8500 bail for trial. which he sent for, the Judge temporarily clear ir the room. Mrs. H. was an important witness against him.

and was calm and aioor in her evidence. So soon as she ascertained that he was to be set free on procuring bail, she made her hut band get up and go out, and ha followed immediately. She had to pass directly behind the fellow, who was sitting down, leaning forward, with his head resting upon his hands. As she came behind him, she suddenly drew a revolver, which it seems she had kept cocked, from under her shawl, coolly placed It within a few inches of his back, between his shoulders, and fired before the person nearest could arrest her arm. He started up, partly dropping the blanket from his shoulder, walked two or three step, seised a man by the shoulders to support himself, gave a gasp or two and expired.

Mrs. H. calmly walked off through the crowd, with her husband, to her own home. Subaequent anamination showed that the ball had passed through the heart, and tame out just below the left nipple. Popular feeling is generally on the side of the woman, many justify lag her as having done an act beneficial to the entire community, as well as essential to her own safety.

From the Baltimore Sun, July 16. A Tncbt Party Overwhelmed In the Potomac Drowning ef two Ladles and a Gentleman. We leamedyesterdayfrom a private source, the particulars of a most deplorable event which occurred on Friday last, in Charles co Md, on the Potomac river, between Cedar Point and the light boat. Mr. Grant Harris a most respectable and worthy young gentleman residing in the vicinity or tne saore.

some time since purchased a sail boat in this city, and kept it on the Potomac shore for the amusement of himself and friends. Several weeks ago the family was visited by Mr. Morgan Harris and two sisters, Ursula and Nannie Harris, of Cincinnati, Ohio, all related by family ties, and connected Dy tne warmest irienasoip. On Friday morning, between 9 and 10 o'clock, Grant Harris proposed a eail on the Potomac, and accordingly embarked with his nephew, Morgan Harris, and his two neices, Ursula and Nannie. Grant HarrW.

who is aaid to have been very skillful In the management of his yacht, ventured out to the distance of nearly a half mile from the shore, without ballast, to where the water is above 40 feet, and runs rather wide and treacherous The ladies became alarmed, and Grant Harris, laughingly, reproved them. Finally, the yacht shipped some water, at the sight of which the ladies rose up, which unsettled the boat, and a gale striking her. she was capsized. Now comes the most painful part of the recital. Grant Harris clung to his niece Ursula, while Morgan Hanxis grasped his sister Nannie, and all struggled to regain the boat.

After going down once, Ursula, who was rather stout, relaxed her hold on Grant Harris and sunk, followed by Grant and Nannie, Morgan Harris alone remaining above the voracious waters. clung to the boat, and was rescued by frends from the shore, who were witnesses of the terrible scene. The bodies had not been found up to the hour of our latest Information from that quarter, (Saturday morning,) though the river was being dragged at every poiat where there existed a poetlbUity of finding the bodies. The deceased were aged as follows Grant Harris 20 years, Ursula 21, Nannie 18. Both were highly aecompUshed and much beloved.

The melancholy occurrence has spread a gloom over Charles county, such as it has not wltneste for many years.

The conciliatory tone adopted by hint In bis address, and his reiterated determination to turn his first and foremost, to the aecom lis hment of that national union determined by the compact ef San Jose, reinduced confidence, tor a time, in the speedy settlement of the question, and produced general feeling of satisfaction throughout the country at the selection of the Chambers. But this was of short duration, for Dr. Alsinabnd Seaor Reiatag having refused to join the administration, tho new Governor was forced to choose his ministry from among the extreme men of the ultra liberal party, who had! taken a leading part in the violent measures of last year, and who were denied all participation in the arrangement of the treaty of November.

Lord Jt hn Rutcell, In a speech in the House cf Commons, admitted that England and Russia had assented to the proposed European Conference. The Parliamentary Contract Committee had made a supplementary report, very damaging to the Gal way Steamship Mail Contract. Garibaldi has remained quiet since the last advices. It is reported that the concessions made by the King of Naples had determined him to precipitate an annexation with Sardinia. It waa reported that the King of Sardinia declines an alliance with Naples, but Napoleon urges a due consideration of the Neapolitan overtnres.

Garibaldi bad applied to his friends in London to supply him with two steamers defended with Armstrong guns. The Insurrection In Sicily. Correspondence of the London Times. PiLiiso, June 13. The morning after the Anal evacuation of Palermo by the Neapolitans, Garibaldi called on the three Admiral, who have all since returned his visit.

The French Admiral called the day after, and Admiral Munday yesterday morning. As for the Sardinian and American Admirals, they had called once or twice before even the evacuation was completed. Thus Garibaldi la in regular official communication with the naval commanders of the foreign navies. The Austrian Commodore left the day the Neapolitans departed, and with them went likewise the Austrian Consul and his family. As for the Consuls, they could not hitherto enter into official communication, being accredited to the Neapolitan Government, and dependent on their Ministers, who reside at Naples.

But the Provisional Government has already taken steps to send its representatives both to England and, France. The very day the Neapolitans left, the official Gazette contained the nomination of the Principe di San Guiseppe as the representative ot Sicily in England. The Prince has been a staunch liberal all through, and has lived in exile. The next day, the Principe San Oataldo was appointed in the same capacity in France. This activity in the first instance must be naturally very limited.

Ncn intervention, the principle which all the powers, France at the head of them, have recognized as the basis of the reorganization of Italy, must be the great object of their mijsion for the moment. Indeed, the more they confine their mission to this cardi nal point, the tter they will deser ve of their country. As everywhere else in Italy, there has been a great change in Sicily with regard to politi cal ideas. In 1848. there were but few who could raise themselves above local prejudices and narrow combinations.

An independent Sicily, under the Prince of Oarignan, was the last expression of this short sighted policy; now the conviction' haa become almost universal among thinking men, that an independent and isolated kingdom of Sicily is a political Impossibility, and would lead ultimately back to Bourbon dominion, and that Sicily oan only be free as apart of Italy. Nay, the only difference of opinion in this respect is the time, some thinking it necessary to convoke the national representatives immediately, and declare the annexation while the majority are of opinion that we should flnt arm, and then talk of annexation decidedly the more practical manner of looking at the thing. 1 need not say that this is Garibaldi's opinion, and he expressed it the other day to a deputation to him, which enme to present an address. In consequence of this declaration on the part of Garibaldi, some ot the men who had accepted ornoe have resigned. Amos these la the Prlncipe.

di Torre area, a liberal of 184S, and Baron Pi sani, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Two day ago the Pretorio issued a proclamation in which it called upon the citizens to come and help in demolishing the face of the Cas tello a Mare looking towards the town. This Caatello was, from the most ancient times, the Bastile of Palermo. It was rebuilt and strengthened by Charles V. to curb the turbulent population, and has ever since been used as a citadel and State prison.

It occupies the pcint of the peninsula which formerly guarded the entraTjce to otn pow ot Pirmo. the ports having been altogether filled up, and the other being considerably reduced, it has lost all its Importance as a work directed against ships. The face tswards the sea, although looking old and neglected, hai, however, the advantage of forming, as it were, a continuation of the wall of the town. It will be, therefore, preserved and strengthened. The proclamation to demolish this hated ob ject brought hundreds of volunteer workmen, who assembled in the different quarters of the town, and, provided with crowbars, axes and spades, went in companies of fifty and more to help in the demolition.

Every one of the troops had contrived to get a band of music, and the wotk began with cheering and singing. Never did men, women and children work harder without being paid for it. Not the last among the workmen were the monks of the different religious communities, especially the mendicant chins, Franciscans, Ac. Whole monasteries seemed to have turned out, and went lustily to work. You could see it was a work of love, or rather ef hatred.

The whole day the place was crowded with spectators beside, who encouraged, by their ap. plause, sv ry successful step in the work of demolition. If this ardor las if, there wiU eoon be 111 tie remaining. Jdhx24. The Meander, a British commercial steamer, has come In from Messina, with a number of passengers.

According to their accounts, the town was a desert, peopled by soldiers and mob all the rest of the population had left taklagwiih them whatever they could carry away. The garrison of the place is very strong, all the troops from Catania and Ger gentl being still there, as well as a part of those who left Palermo. They occupy the town in force, but their sway does not extend further. At the very gates of the town the insurrection is in fall vigor; the committee is constituted, holds its meetings in one of the neighboring villages, and is organizing and raising troops, like the rest of the country. It is In regular correspondence with the Government both by land aad sea.

In general, the regular mail service hat been established all over the country. This was the more wanted, as ever since the beginning of the insurrection the communication was interrupted with the Interior. Of course, the mail service is restricted to the chief places, which are connected by something resembling, roads. Nothing shows more how incapable the Neapolitan authorities were than the neglected state of the roads communicating with the interior. A Russian steamer, belonging to the Russian Steampacket Company, has come in this morning lrm; Naples, on her way to Malta.

It seems the company are wide awake, and Intends to take advantage of the chance offered by the events in Sicily, and the steamers will call regularly on their road to and from Marseilles. June 25.

as we might as easily as we might march from Salisbury to Devizes, this wretched clique might run or might stay, but we should ne have occasion to go there again.
