From the New York commercial Adver-
tiser, VIC gather the following melancholy
particulars Of the fate Of that heroic band of
patriots, who so gallanty attacked the Brit
sh Lancers at Short Hills,
Linus Wilson Miller, George Cooley,
Norman Mallory, and William Reynolds,
to be taken to tile Jail from whence they
came, and on Saturday, the 25th day of Au-
gust, TO be taken to the place of execution,
and there be hanged by the neck until they
are dead
Samuel Chandler, Benjamin Wait,
James Gamble John Grant, Murdock Nc
Fadon John James McNulty, George Buck,
David Taylor, James Wagner, Garret Van
Camp, John Vernon, and Alexander Nc
Leod.
These persons were separately asked
whether they had any thing to say why
the sentence of the law should not be pro-
nounced against them.
In the case of Benjamin Wait, counsel
moved that the verdict be set aside, on the
ground that Mr.. Wagstaf, one of the Jury,
was not liege subject, but citizen of the
United States. After few remarks from
IuG SUllCllUE HeHeIdly lHG COuTL uCClQeu
that it was now too late TO interpose that
plea. One or two others made few brief
remarks, when the Judge proceeded to his
painful task.
He told them that in all probability mer-
cy would be extended to some of them, but
to whom no one then knew; that the Jury
by which they had been tried had recon-
mended some of them to mercy, which of
course would be represented in the proper
quarter.
He urged upon them all the importance
of preparation for another world, and then
pronounced the following sentence, (aftel
calling each name) e).-"That you and each
Of you are taken to the jail from whence
you came, and that on the 25th day of the
present month of August, you and each o.
you be dro1On on q hurdle to the place Of
execution, and that you be there hanged b.
The neck untity you are dead; then your bod
les are TO be qatartered: and mag Goc
haze mercy on your souls"
To this last expression, there were seve
raj responded Amen"

New ORLEANS, July 80.

AS the half past five o'clock cars from
Carrollton were passing Hertsville yesterday
afternoon, black boy was riding on horse
back near to the track. When the engine
came the horse stumbled and threw the boy
on the middle of the tack, but TOO late TO
stop the engine; and, strange to relate, the
whole train passed over him without injw-
ing him in the least. He jumped up,
scratched his head, and exclaimed, "You
cant kill dis niger, no how, Master Iniine!"

The Great "BALANCE WHEEL Of
RITNER" still behind in the
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY
MENTS!!!
The PHILADELPHIA Bank, the Girard
Bank, the 1oyGmenSing Bank, the
SchulykiW Bank, and the Bank of Penn
sylUmaia, have, we understand, all notified
the Collector Of the Port, that they now
pay SPECIE for all demands upon them.
Thus we have full proof of BlDDLE'S
BANK being the "LAG LAST" in the
Resumption of Specie Payments. The
'greot regulator, the stake the lead
Bank" has FAILED in resuming, and do
ing the NEEDFUL, with the FIVE
BANKS above named. We have good
authority for saying, that the Notes of this
Bank are not receiUed at the Custom House
in this city as yet, in payment of PUBLIC
DUES. How Mr.. Biddle may have settled
with the other State Banks, the amount o
| the large balances due them, is no business
of ours; but if merchant makes a compro
mise of his debts under 100 cents in tn
dollar, the matter is at once bruited abou
to his injury and disgrace. Let the Peo
pie of this State recollect, that notwithstand
ing the HUMBUG PROCLAMATION o.
Ritner, BIDDEE' SBauk is the last to re
sumo, and may well be called the LAG
LAST Of ALL the Banks of the Common
wealth. The first to resume in language
is now Mr. LAG LAST in reality

Carl King'a Present to Queen Victoria

Carl Kings Present to Queen Ncforia
Our readers will remember the account
given of splendid bonnet made, and inten-
ded as present 10 Queen Victoria, by Carl
King, of New York. The New York Her
aid, in reference to it, says: "the return of
the Great Western has brought US news of
the beautiful bonnet sent by the celebrated
Carl King, Of New York, to the Queen of
England. AS soon as the Western reached
England, Captain Hosken opened a cores
pondence with Lord John Russell, Secreta-
ry of State for the home department, rela-
tive to the Bonnet. His Lordship notified
Her Majesty-she wrote beautiful com
plimentary etter--the bonnet was sent on
to the Queen, and no less than three dozen
ladies Oflhe English nobility forwarded
back orders and complimentary letters to the
celebrated Carl King and his lovely lady.
for bcnnels Of the same style. Carl is a
lucky dog ! This King has given the
Queen bonnet. The Queen has given the
King a smile of approval, and the ladies and
the Queen will make this Kings lortune.'

Stevens is carrying out his bold policy
TO some purpose,on the repairs in Hunting
don county. He regularly enquiries into
the political sentiments Of the laborers, and
if they are not of the genuine shin plaster,
abolition stamp, they are not permitted a.
long the lines. During last week little
army of democratic workmen who refused
to bend the knee to the base spirit of anti
masonry, were discharged. Il is thus the
political gamblers squander the peoples

The following estimate of the probable
vote for governor at the ensuing election,
has been made by the Democratic Central
Committee appointed by the 9th of March
Convention. Ithas been gathered from the
best information they could obtain, from in
dividuals resident in and acquainted with
the several counties in the state, takenin
connection with the majorites in 1885,
which are put down, in order that any one
may compare and judge for himself, Al
though it is but an estimate, yet the COM
mittee believe that the result will not, at
least, in the aggregate, very materially vary
from what they have here presented. The
committee still solicit information in rela-
ton to the matter, as their object is TO pre-
sent to their democratic fellow citizens as
perfect an estimate as possible.
