Nevada, Dec, 22d 1857.--12-if THE NEV NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1858, ———————— — LLL LL LLL LL LLL LL LLL LLL DLL LLL LL LLL LL LLL LLL LLL 4 Kansas Debate In the Senate. In the Senate, Dec. 19th, Mr. Bigler made a leng speech in vindication of the President’s licy in the Kansas portion of his message. e sustained the legality of the Lecompton movement, and in the course of his remarks said he could not feretell what his action would be on the question of admitting Kansas under the Constitution. The case was not fully made up. A very large and dangerous power was in the hands of those who are to conduct the election on the slavery article. They may abuse it. If so, the result could not be recognized ; but if the election sha!! be fairly conducted, he should vote for the admission of Kansas as a State, either with a free or slave Constitution, because he thought that would settle the con-. troversies, and give peace to Kansas and) the country. If the institutions should not suit the people, they could be altered more easily and satisfactorilly with Kausas as a State than as a Territory. Mr. Douglas replied—sayiag he had ne fault to find with the Senater from Pennsylvania for making a series of attacks on his consistency, while omitting to answer his arguments. Some persons had presented him with the records of the votes of Senators on the Wilmot Proviso, DEMO all the clearness of which he was capable. If the Senator thought proper te assume that this was a party measure, and that he (Douglas) was out of the party because he differed frem the administratien, that was his (Douglas’) own business. He (Bigler) had laid down no such rule. Mr. Douglas replied that the Senator from Pennsylvania had informed the Senate that he had other information in regard to the purposes ef the administration in making this a party measure. He believed that the charges that he (Deuglas) was geing over to the Blaek Republicans were made by menu hestile to him, and actually hostile to the administration. They were from persons who desired to get him inte a hostile position for ulterior purposes. He did not mean that men, whose claims to the confidence of the Democratic party were not superior to his own, should read him eut of the Democratic party. The report is being circulated every where, that the President is prepared to put the knife to the throat ef every man who dares to differ from the administratien, and think for himself on this question. He believed that those who circulated euch reports were enemies of the President. He wished to give his friends an opportunity of denyand some former speeches relative to Kansas matters, He knew not whether these were true or false; but what had they todo with the question new presented? He did not understand the motives for ransacking all the public records and newspapers, and picking up every little scrap to see what his course had been twelve ears past on the subject of slavery. Suppese it was true that, in 1848, he was ia favor of extending the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Ocean, as recommended by Mr. Buchanan in his letter preceding ; and suppose it true that, in 1854, he introduced a bill for the repeal of that compromise, of which the President says he now approves? All these things are not material to the argument. True, the issue was whether popular sovreignty, to which the President and himself were pledged, should be violated in Kansas. He thought the Senator from ing the charge. ir. Bigler—Who makes the charge? Mr. Douglas—The newspapers of the country are full of it. The Senator seemed te make his argument as if I were outside of a healthy Democratic organization, Ido net recognize the right of that Senator er any body on earth to expel me. Mr. Bigler—In no shape or form have I been laboring to put the Senator outside the party. It is true I did show on this question of slaver the Senator did not always hold the same position, but did not say that any man who diftered from the Administration on this subject was no Democrat. Mr. Douglas—I stated that when I changed my opinion I changed in correspondence with the President, in both cases, If that would lead me out ef the party, it would lead me in Pennsylvania showed a want of candor and fairness in quoting from his Springfield speech, and omitting to quote what he said on the same subject the other day, which was perfectly in harmony with previously expressed epinions. He thenght Gov. Walker was authorized to say what he did in his inaugural address by instructions of the President and the Cabinet, to demand that the Constitution should be submitted, and, unless submitted, that it should be regarded null and void. He was not aware that Gov. Walker had interfered ia the slightest degree, except in pursuance of these instructions. He never supposed that the agent was te be denounced for obeying his instructions, and the principal applauded for giving them, He admired the manliness of the President in assuming the responsibility to give them, and regretted that the President proposed, from motives . of expediency, to accept the Constitution without ratification by the people, although he ad. mits that it eught te have been submitted. Let policy and expediency take eare of themselves. He complaiued that the Senater from Pennsylvania seemed disposed to put him in a false position. The true test is, the Constitution mnust be endorsed by the popular will, aud if not, it must be rejected, The only true way of aseertaining whether the Constitution is acceptable or not, is to present it to the people. Mr. Bigler explained that he did not say that Mr. Douglas maintained the ground that au en. abling act was necessary in all cases; but that he had taken the ground that it was necessary . ia the case of Kansas, The Senator bas dispos. ed of his own argument by saying that he was . not always cousistant, and that a wise man will . always change his views weeuever he thinks . himself wrong, Mr. Douglas wanted tu know by what authori. ty Mr. Bigler said the Lecompion movement wag an Administration measure? The message . docs net say so, Had he any higher autherity than that? . Mr. Bigler replied. THe had made the deduc:. tion from the message and from what he knew . in addition. He did not assert ia terms that it was an Administration measure, but said the . Administration held the movement legal so far . as it had progressed. How conld the President . make arecommendatiou prior to the result of the vote which he says in his message ho is . waiting for? Mr. Deuglas repeated—He should like to knew what other sources of information Mr. Bigler had, as that Senator had that much advantage of him. Mr. Bigler was not at liberty to say that this was an Administration measure, and would allow Mr. Douglas to define what it was, Mr. Douglas again wanted to know what these other sources of information were, which very good company. (Laughter.) If the President and the Democratie party stick to their platform, we can move along harmoniously; but I shall at all events maintain my position. I shall take all proper occasions to vindicate the great principle with which my public life is identified. I hope in the discussion of this question, Senators will let me alone as regards my censisteney; and as for my prospects let time determine. Tng Financial Pante in the Weat. A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Peoria, Illinois, says : When I last wrote you it was amid “the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds.’’? The banks had expleded—suspended! Since then we have had time to look around us and take account of the killed, wounded and missing, The Illinois banks did not suspend, for two reasons: one was beeause they had few heavy depositors to run in upen them for gold, and the other because their bills were in the stocking logs of old-fogy farmers, who were not panic-stricken, Prentice, of the T.ouisville Journal, took the panic very easy. He charged Ohio with being a blackguard State, because its citizens threatened to mob any nan whe demanded specie.— Prentice said that in Kentneky they were more gentlemanly—they only threw rotten eggs at them! It was the depositors more than the billholders, who made the late banking troubles. The edge of the panic is now blunted. The effects are about the same as the orisis which commenced in San Franciseo on 22d of February, 1855, when Page, Bueon & Co., went by the board. Prices do not recede as yet; but there are no buyers. Men in debt will be compelled to sell at what will be considered a sacrifice. Buyers will not pay prices these forced sales, when they can buy ata sacrifice, or . “wreat-bargain’’ races; and finally, all property will recede to that standard. Illinois made immensely on her grain during the European war. This threw up the prices ef land, accordingly, until much of the West was surveyed up into cities and corner lots,— The bankrupts keep along, at present, by bor. rowing at very high rates of interest, The wild-goose and wild-cat times of ’36 were reenacted, without muoh change of programme, in ’56; and ’57 is ’37, with a change of performers. The shifts to make currency in Illinois . are very ingenious and sometimes amusing. if not profitable, Here, a broker goes from 1,500 to 2,000 miles off and makes an arrangement with some John Doe to become cashier of a wild. cat bank and te carry his office in his hat. The . bills ef this bank are then struek eff and bre’t inte Illinois to purchase grain from farmers,— . The grain buyers deal altogether in this ouranthorized Senator Bigler to read him out of . rency. When enough money is issued, the bank the party fer not sustaining the measure. Mr. Bigler denied that he had said one word about reading any man out of the party. Did Mr. Douglas mean to make no issue with the Administration? When he makes an issue, cannot he tell what it is? Mr. Dougias—The Senator did net use the words; but he insinuated strongly to that effect. He secmed to be carrying out the system which has been pursued by every pensioned letter. capsizes and the poor grain-raisers foot the loss. Se much fer a paper curreacy! No wonder President Buchanan came down upon itin his Message. Mind, the resident attributes all the inflation ef prices in the Atlantic States to the erroneous issues of bank paper. He says that it drives our country’s industrial pursuits out of the market, because when prices are so dear . Europe underworks us. This is true, Land . uncultivated in this State, four years ago, bro’t writer for the last few weeks, intimating that . only five dollars an aere, and in ’56 it readily he had deserted the Democratic party, and gone over to the Republieans. Mr. Bigler—I deny any such accusation. I said the Senator’s position excited momentary gratifieation on the other side of the chamber, and regret on this. Mr. Douglas replied—He had been denounced . by men who were willing to sink the administration for the purpose of killing off the Northerm men—that every press which can be controlled, is thus controlled, is undeniable; but nineteen-twentieths of the independent press— these which do net depend upon the governmeut for support—are with him in sustaining the creed of the Demoeratic party and the Cin. cinnati platform. But the few who are not allowed to speak for themselves, are endeavoring to drive him where they could not drive . him—to desert tho principles averred and maintained by the Democratic party. He wanted to know whether every man is to be driven out of the party because he does not coincide with the President en the questions of the Pacific railroad and the bankrupt law aa applied to banks? Mr. Bigler responded negatively. Mr. Douglas resaumed—Then, if every one of . the gentlemen around him were at liberty thus to dissent from the President on the questions ef the bankrupt law, Pacific railread and tariff, . was net he (Douglas) to be permitted to judge . for himself on the subject of the Lecompten . mevements’? He did not understand the extraordinary desire to strike a blow which would either cripple him, or drive him out of the party, or make the country believe he had left the . party. Would the Senater from Pennsylvania endorse every recommendatien in the President’s message, and eay he was prepared to carry it out? Mr. Bigler replied that it was not at all probable that he agreed with every sentiment of the President. He had no desire to lay down a rule by which the Senator shonld be read out of the party. mid Mr. Sesaine wished to know if the administration did not regard as wanting in party fealty these who refused to sanction the Lecompten movement? Mr. Bigler replied, that he ceuld not go any further iato the subject. He hed already enbrought twenty dollars; and this was the effect, throughout the West, of bank inflations. A man here in 566 who was not worth ever five thousand dollars was a paupor and teo destideavored te express his opinions and views with . tute for a respectable poor-house. But times have changed. This crisis in the money market will be succeeded by several years of stagnation and business prostration not very different from what has taken place om your side of the continent.

The brass on the door is polished; the curtains ef the windows are as white as snow; and the staircase (an unusual thing in the damp atmosphere of this dirty quarter) is always dry and shining.— The traveler who, from curiosity visite this slreet—a true specimen of the times when the Jews of Frankfort, subjected to the most intolerable vexatious, were resticted te this infested quarter—will be induced to step before this neat and simple house, and perhaps ask, ‘Who is that venerable eld lady, seated in a large armchair, behind the little shinimg squares of the window on the first story ?”’ This is the reply every VFrankforter will make: “In that house dwelt an Israelite merchant, named M. A. Rothschild. He there aoquired a good name, a good fortune, and a namerous family; and when he died the widew declared she would never quit, except for the tomb, the modest dwelling which had served as a cradle to that name, that fortune, and those children,’’? Continued presperity has attended the sons of the pious and modest widow. Their name is become European, and their wealth proverbial. They inhabit sumptuous palaces in the most beautiful quarters of Paris, Londen, Vienna, Naples, and Frankfort. But their mother, persevering in her admirable modesty, has not quitted her comparatively humble house, where they come to visit her with respect and reverence, and discharge their duties in memory of their estimable father—thus presenting bright examples for the present time.”’ Judge Sexton thinking it right and proper to disregard the very singular, though time honered custom of appoiuting a Friday ae the doomsday.

The gun weighs three thousand three huadred and ninety pounds, and is twelve feet long. Arrackup ny Cuiwamun.—Mr. H, Bouse, formerly Justice of the Peace in the township of Piety Hill, Shasta county, while collecting water taxes recently, was attacked by o number of the Chinese, and but for timely inter~ ference would have been slaughtered by the infuriated Johns. It was with difficulty that they were kept from him, even after he had fainted and fallen, Lunar Rarwsow.—A moon rainbow was very distinctly seen at Petaluma, in the evening of January 21st, Itis described as appearing as perfeot as that formed by the sun; the arch eing complete, and an apparent rest for each foot, but lacking the brilliant color of the solar bew.

Angeles wear hoops made of grape vines. match of billiards between Michael Phelan and Ralph Benjamin, came off in Philadelphia, on the 30th of December, at the billiard room, cer. ner of Twelfth aud Chestnut streets. The play commenced about half-past six, and was not eoncluded until ten minutes past eleven e’clock, during whieh time eleven games were played. The game selected was the French carom game of sixteen points, and Phelan gave his adversary three. points in each game. The table was the ordinary full-size six-pocket table, this being selected by Benjamin as being the mest difficult to play on, and giving him some advantages. It was brought from McCormick’s saloon, Broad and Chesnut, and was a very handsome specimen ef O’Connor Collenden’s make, with Phelan’s patent combination cushions.— The first three games were played with considerable caution on either side, but after that Phelan played with hie accustomed dash and we may add his invariable success. Phelan wen the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth games, and in this game beating his adversary by ten points, winning also the tenth and eleventh games, Benjamin winning two out of eleven, the third and ninth. The match was to be decided by the winning of the greatest number of games out of sixteen, and en the deciding game being concluded, there were three roundsof applause given for Phelan and New York, which seemed to give considerable annoyance te the vanquished party. There were about one hundred and fifty persons in the reom, composing all the chief amateurs from New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Nevada, Dec, 22d 1857.--12-if THE NEV NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1858, ———————— — LLL LL LLL LL LLL LL LLL LLL DLL LLL LL LLL LL LLL LLL LLL 4 Kansas Debate In the Senate. In the Senate, Dec. 19th, Mr. Bigler made a leng speech in vindication of the President’s licy in the Kansas portion of his message. e sustained the legality of the Lecompton movement, and in the course of his remarks said he could not feretell what his action would be on the question of admitting Kansas under the Constitution. The case was not fully made up. A very large and dangerous power was in the hands of those who are to conduct the election on the slavery article. They may abuse it. If so, the result could not be recognized ; but if the election sha!! be fairly conducted, he should vote for the admission of Kansas as a State, either with a free or slave Constitution, because he thought that would settle the con-. troversies, and give peace to Kansas and) the country. If the institutions should not suit the people, they could be altered more easily and satisfactorilly with Kausas as a State than as a Territory. Mr. Douglas replied—sayiag he had ne fault to find with the Senater from Pennsylvania for making a series of attacks on his consistency, while omitting to answer his arguments. Some persons had presented him with the records of the votes of Senators on the Wilmot Proviso, DEMO all the clearness of which he was capable. If the Senator thought proper te assume that this was a party measure, and that he (Douglas) was out of the party because he differed frem the administratien, that was his (Douglas’) own business. He (Bigler) had laid down no such rule. Mr. Douglas replied that the Senator from Pennsylvania had informed the Senate that he had other information in regard to the purposes ef the administration in making this a party measure. He believed that the charges that he (Deuglas) was geing over to the Blaek Republicans were made by menu hestile to him, and actually hostile to the administration. They were from persons who desired to get him inte a hostile position for ulterior purposes. He did not mean that men, whose claims to the confidence of the Democratic party were not superior to his own, should read him eut of the Democratic party. The report is being circulated every where, that the President is prepared to put the knife to the throat ef every man who dares to differ from the administratien, and think for himself on this question. He believed that those who circulated euch reports were enemies of the President. He wished to give his friends an opportunity of denyand some former speeches relative to Kansas matters, He knew not whether these were true or false; but what had they todo with the question new presented? He did not understand the motives for ransacking all the public records and newspapers, and picking up every little scrap to see what his course had been twelve ears past on the subject of slavery. Suppese it was true that, in 1848, he was ia favor of extending the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Ocean, as recommended by Mr. Buchanan in his letter preceding ; and suppose it true that, in 1854, he introduced a bill for the repeal of that compromise, of which the President says he now approves? All these things are not material to the argument. True, the issue was whether popular sovreignty, to which the President and himself were pledged, should be violated in Kansas. He thought the Senator from ing the charge. ir. Bigler—Who makes the charge? Mr. Douglas—The newspapers of the country are full of it. The Senator seemed te make his argument as if I were outside of a healthy Democratic organization, Ido net recognize the right of that Senator er any body on earth to expel me. Mr. Bigler—In no shape or form have I been laboring to put the Senator outside the party. It is true I did show on this question of slaver the Senator did not always hold the same position, but did not say that any man who diftered from the Administration on this subject was no Democrat. Mr. Douglas—I stated that when I changed my opinion I changed in correspondence with the President, in both cases, If that would lead me out ef the party, it would lead me in Pennsylvania showed a want of candor and fairness in quoting from his Springfield speech, and omitting to quote what he said on the same subject the other day, which was perfectly in harmony with previously expressed epinions. He thenght Gov. Walker was authorized to say what he did in his inaugural address by instructions of the President and the Cabinet, to demand that the Constitution should be submitted, and, unless submitted, that it should be regarded null and void. He was not aware that Gov. Walker had interfered ia the slightest degree, except in pursuance of these instructions. He never supposed that the agent was te be denounced for obeying his instructions, and the principal applauded for giving them, He admired the manliness of the President in assuming the responsibility to give them, and regretted that the President proposed, from motives . of expediency, to accept the Constitution without ratification by the people, although he ad. mits that it eught te have been submitted. Let policy and expediency take eare of themselves. He complaiued that the Senater from Pennsylvania seemed disposed to put him in a false position. The true test is, the Constitution mnust be endorsed by the popular will, aud if not, it must be rejected, The only true way of aseertaining whether the Constitution is acceptable or not, is to present it to the people.

Mr. Bigler explained that he did not say that Mr. Douglas maintained the ground that au en. abling act was necessary in all cases; but that he had taken the ground that it was necessary . ia the case of Kansas, The Senator bas dispos. ed of his own argument by saying that he was . not always cousistant, and that a wise man will . always change his views weeuever he thinks . himself wrong, Mr. Douglas wanted tu know by what authori. ty Mr. Bigler said the Lecompion movement wag an Administration measure? The message . docs net say so, Had he any higher autherity than that? . Mr. Bigler replied. THe had made the deduc:. tion from the message and from what he knew . in addition. He did not assert ia terms that it was an Administration measure, but said the . Administration held the movement legal so far . as it had progressed. How conld the President . make arecommendatiou prior to the result of the vote which he says in his message ho is . waiting for? Mr. Deuglas repeated—He should like to knew what other sources of information Mr. Bigler had, as that Senator had that much advantage of him. Mr. Bigler was not at liberty to say that this was an Administration measure, and would allow Mr. Douglas to define what it was, Mr. Douglas again wanted to know what these other sources of information were, which very good company. (Laughter.) If the President and the Democratie party stick to their platform, we can move along harmoniously; but I shall at all events maintain my position. I shall take all proper occasions to vindicate the great principle with which my public life is identified. I hope in the discussion of this question, Senators will let me alone as regards my censisteney; and as for my prospects let time determine. Tng Financial Pante in the Weat. A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Peoria, Illinois, says : When I last wrote you it was amid “the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds.’’? The banks had expleded—suspended! Since then we have had time to look around us and take account of the killed, wounded and missing, The Illinois banks did not suspend, for two reasons: one was beeause they had few heavy depositors to run in upen them for gold, and the other because their bills were in the stocking logs of old-fogy farmers, who were not panic-stricken, Prentice, of the T.ouisville Journal, took the panic very easy. He charged Ohio with being a blackguard State, because its citizens threatened to mob any nan whe demanded specie.— Prentice said that in Kentneky they were more gentlemanly—they only threw rotten eggs at them! It was the depositors more than the billholders, who made the late banking troubles. The edge of the panic is now blunted. The effects are about the same as the orisis which commenced in San Franciseo on 22d of February, 1855, when Page, Bueon & Co., went by the board. Prices do not recede as yet; but there are no buyers. Men in debt will be compelled to sell at what will be considered a sacrifice. Buyers will not pay prices these forced sales, when they can buy ata sacrifice, or . “wreat-bargain’’ races; and finally, all property will recede to that standard. Illinois made immensely on her grain during the European war. This threw up the prices ef land, accordingly, until much of the West was surveyed up into cities and corner lots,— The bankrupts keep along, at present, by bor. rowing at very high rates of interest, The wild-goose and wild-cat times of ’36 were reenacted, without muoh change of programme, in ’56; and ’57 is ’37, with a change of performers. The shifts to make currency in Illinois . are very ingenious and sometimes amusing. if not profitable, Here, a broker goes from 1,500 to 2,000 miles off and makes an arrangement with some John Doe to become cashier of a wild. cat bank and te carry his office in his hat. The . bills ef this bank are then struek eff and bre’t inte Illinois to purchase grain from farmers,— . The grain buyers deal altogether in this ouranthorized Senator Bigler to read him out of . rency. When enough money is issued, the bank the party fer not sustaining the measure. Mr. Bigler denied that he had said one word about reading any man out of the party. Did Mr. Douglas mean to make no issue with the Administration? When he makes an issue, cannot he tell what it is? Mr. Dougias—The Senator did net use the words; but he insinuated strongly to that effect. He secmed to be carrying out the system which has been pursued by every pensioned letter. capsizes and the poor grain-raisers foot the loss. Se much fer a paper curreacy! No wonder President Buchanan came down upon itin his Message. Mind, the resident attributes all the inflation ef prices in the Atlantic States to the erroneous issues of bank paper. He says that it drives our country’s industrial pursuits out of the market, because when prices are so dear . Europe underworks us. This is true, Land . uncultivated in this State, four years ago, bro’t writer for the last few weeks, intimating that . only five dollars an aere, and in ’56 it readily he had deserted the Democratic party, and gone over to the Republieans. Mr. Bigler—I deny any such accusation. I said the Senator’s position excited momentary gratifieation on the other side of the chamber, and regret on this. Mr. Douglas replied—He had been denounced . by men who were willing to sink the administration for the purpose of killing off the Northerm men—that every press which can be controlled, is thus controlled, is undeniable; but nineteen-twentieths of the independent press— these which do net depend upon the governmeut for support—are with him in sustaining the creed of the Demoeratic party and the Cin. cinnati platform. But the few who are not allowed to speak for themselves, are endeavoring to drive him where they could not drive . him—to desert tho principles averred and maintained by the Democratic party. He wanted to know whether every man is to be driven out of the party because he does not coincide with the President en the questions of the Pacific railroad and the bankrupt law aa applied to banks? Mr. Bigler responded negatively. Mr. Douglas resaumed—Then, if every one of . the gentlemen around him were at liberty thus to dissent from the President on the questions ef the bankrupt law, Pacific railread and tariff, . was net he (Douglas) to be permitted to judge . for himself on the subject of the Lecompten . mevements’? He did not understand the extraordinary desire to strike a blow which would either cripple him, or drive him out of the party, or make the country believe he had left the . party. Would the Senater from Pennsylvania endorse every recommendatien in the President’s message, and eay he was prepared to carry it out? Mr. Bigler replied that it was not at all probable that he agreed with every sentiment of the President. He had no desire to lay down a rule by which the Senator shonld be read out of the party. mid Mr. Sesaine wished to know if the administration did not regard as wanting in party fealty these who refused to sanction the Lecompten movement? Mr. Bigler replied, that he ceuld not go any further iato the subject. He hed already enbrought twenty dollars; and this was the effect, throughout the West, of bank inflations. A man here in 566 who was not worth ever five thousand dollars was a paupor and teo destideavored te express his opinions and views with . tute for a respectable poor-house. But times have changed. This crisis in the money market will be succeeded by several years of stagnation and business prostration not very different from what has taken place om your side of the continent.

Most of our menare worth upward of 100 rupees. An “Oxp-Lover.”’—The Pittsfield Sun has been condueted for fifty-seven years by its present editer, Hon. Phineas Allen.

To restrain it is to thwart nature. We need to provide for it. Not to attempt to find amusement for them, but to give them opportunity to amuse themselves, Tur Jews’ Srrezt iv Faanxrvort.—In the Jews’ street at Frankfort-on-the-Main, in the midst ef Gothic facades, black cepings, and sombre alleys, there is a house of small exterior, distinguished from others by its luxurious neatness, which gives it an appearance of singular cheerfulness and freshness. The brass on the door is polished; the curtains ef the windows are as white as snow; and the staircase (an unusual thing in the damp atmosphere of this dirty quarter) is always dry and shining.— The traveler who, from curiosity visite this slreet—a true specimen of the times when the Jews of Frankfort, subjected to the most intolerable vexatious, were resticted te this infested quarter—will be induced to step before this neat and simple house, and perhaps ask, ‘Who is that venerable eld lady, seated in a large armchair, behind the little shinimg squares of the window on the first story ?”’ This is the reply every VFrankforter will make: “In that house dwelt an Israelite merchant, named M. A. Rothschild. He there aoquired a good name, a good fortune, and a namerous family; and when he died the widew declared she would never quit, except for the tomb, the modest dwelling which had served as a cradle to that name, that fortune, and those children,’’? Continued presperity has attended the sons of the pious and modest widow. Their name is become European, and their wealth proverbial. They inhabit sumptuous palaces in the most beautiful quarters of Paris, Londen, Vienna, Naples, and Frankfort. But their mother, persevering in her admirable modesty, has not quitted her comparatively humble house, where they come to visit her with respect and reverence, and discharge their duties in memory of their estimable father—thus presenting bright examples for the present time.”’ Judge Sexton thinking it right and proper to disregard the very singular, though time honered custom of appoiuting a Friday ae the doomsday. Dolan appeared little moved by the pronouncing of the sentence, and is indeed a man ef remarkable coolness and self-possession. There isa probability that this case will be taken to the Supreme Court.

The play commenced about half-past six, and was not eoncluded until ten minutes past eleven e’clock, during whieh time eleven games were played. The game selected was the French carom game of sixteen points, and Phelan gave his adversary three. points in each game. The table was the ordinary full-size six-pocket table, this being selected by Benjamin as being the mest difficult to play on, and giving him some advantages. It was brought from McCormick’s saloon, Broad and Chesnut, and was a very handsome specimen ef O’Connor Collenden’s make, with Phelan’s patent combination cushions.— The first three games were played with considerable caution on either side, but after that Phelan played with hie accustomed dash and we may add his invariable success. Phelan wen the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth games, and in this game beating his adversary by ten points, winning also the tenth and eleventh games, Benjamin winning two out of eleven, the third and ninth. The match was to be decided by the winning of the greatest number of games out of sixteen, and en the deciding game being concluded, there were three roundsof applause given for Phelan and New York, which seemed to give considerable annoyance te the vanquished party.
