PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81, ls44.
DEAR BENNETT
] was IN error yesterday, in stating that John w.
Ashmead, the Native candidate for Congress from
the Second District, was Wing. Suck is not the
fact-Mr. A. is member Of the Democratic party.
but has taken no active part for several years. He
is icarm friend Of the Tariff.
The Native Assembly ticket. Tor the city, nom
mated last night is good one, composed of honest,
intelligent men. They belong 10 both political
parties, but not Of that violent class Of poit-
clans who usually disgrace the legislative Halls.
Phillip s. White, A. M Jones, and James H-rst.
| am Informed, however, that Mr. Jones declines
serving.
la theatrical matters, a pretty fair business is
doing The Walnut has an excellent company,
perhaps Of the best ever introduced upon the
boards of theatre. Wheafey. Rlchngs, Rad
cellent performers. tonight, Mr.. James Wallsck,
r., and accomplished wife, appear IN +" The Wife,"
Mr.. w. performing the character of Julian ST.
Pierre, and Mrs. w. that Of Marianne. To-mor-
row, William Chapman, the old and favorite come
dian, Is announced, and certain IT il, the house
will be crowded from pit TO dome. Marshall the
sentlemaniy manager, deserves well.
The Arch street house, though not SO well patro,l-
ized, Is doing pretty well. Burton is a host him
self.
WEIGH, Mann, and Delavan, with their cele-
the "a ofSeptember. The house is being thoroughly
renovated.
The Virginia Serenadem are at the Masonic Hall
VIM. B Storms, OF Towanda Bank notoriety,
appeared before Judge King this morning upon a
writ Of habeas corpus, charged with obtaining a
note OF $1,000 under false pretences, and was bound
over In $4,000 TO answer at court. MIR. Storms is
now clerk OF customs
The publishers OF the Daily Chronicle, Messrs
Alexander " Scott, were this morning prosecuted
Tor libel by the aforesaid Storms, for publishing.
what most people believe, the truth.
Another one OF the Southwark rioters was arrest
ed last evening in the person OF Abraham Long. The
Recorder this morning committed him for farther
hearing, to answer the charge OF riot, treason and
murder.
In the Court Of Sessions, the cases Of Samuel
Vandegrift and Andrew McCIain, also charged with
riot, treason and murder, were brought up, talked
about and postponed.
Judge Jones' of the Court Of Crimal Sessions, il
spoken Of as likely TO be the Native candidate from
the Fourth Congressional District in opposition 10
G. j. lngersoll.
Some Of the sixpenny dallies here appear to be on
their last legs. The United States Gazette is the
only one that can possibly make decent living,
while the .'NoIth American" - almost "sw amPed."
Its late editor, I. II. Newbold, very gentleman
~, intelligent sort of man, has lett the sinking
ship, and sadly do liz readers miss his leaders The
"Pensylvanian" and " American Sentinel live
upon charity alone. The Enquirer" with its seve-
raltenders, may be profitable to some extent; but
Harding is shrewd fellow in the way OF business,
and keeps still tongue. The ''Native" papers
are existlng upon expectduCn alOne Inc LED

| The stock market to-day, has somewhat f1uctua-
ted The " tancies," although in good demand,
have proved less firm than yesterday, and buyers
appear more cautious. Pennsylvania fves-the
ruin Of thousands-took the back track, and went
down to 74A: The "bulIs' and "bears'' along the
''coast OF Algers," as Captain Mann, in the cele-
brated trial of Dyott, termed Dock street-have
centered themselves about the "Star," where little
is heard, except in small way, scarcely worth re
cofding.. Consequently shall not trouble myself
