FATHER MATHEW AND THE LADIES.
The ladies waited on the temperance apostle this
forenoon. Such sight Such eyes Such forms
Such bonnets! Such lace Such mantillas! Such
smiles Such voices Such fascination All
who could describe it,
ONLY AN ImMIGRANr!
The ship "Admira," from Havre, arrived to-
day with crowd of German immigrants Thirty
died on the passage. "Only immigrants" Such
is the exclamation too often heard. Alas for the
poor inmates Of those floating pest-houses One
hundred thousand immigrants have arrived at this
port during the last ninety days.
MISSIONARIES RETURNED.
The Zingari, which arrived at this port on Sat
urday from Sourabaya, brought as passengers the
Rev. William Youngblood and wife, of the Borneo
Mission, and their two children; Mrs. A. S. Cass-
well, from Siam, and three children.
ANOTHER IRISH REFUGEE.
Mr.. Richard o. German, one of the Irish out
laws has arrived here. He came in the "Adm-
ral'' from Havre. Morgan, the poet of the late
disastrous rebellion, is dead. He was a man of
great talents and originality. He died in poor
house.
THE wATERiNG-PLAcEs.
Saratoga and Newport are said to be quite gay
this season. but | doubt it. Many of the families
who have been accustomed TO 90 to the fashionable
places of resort have preferred the quiet villages or
secluded private hotels which lie along the shores
of the Sound, or the banks of the Hudson river
It is dull season at the great watering places of
the North; and need not wonder at it, or regret
it. This is not time to dance the Polka and get
up fancy balls The pestence is abroad in the
land, and it is time to think and pray.

The eulogium on the life and character of the
late President, James K Polk, will be delivered by

the shipping and public buildings will be lowered,
the bells Of the different churches toled, and the
suspension of business during the performance Of
the ceremonies is recommended. The Rev. DR..
Bethune will make the Introductory prayer; the
closing prayer and benediction by the Rev. John
Chambers. The arrangements of the committee
are very complete, and the ceremonies will doubt
less be fitting tribute of respect to the virtues of
the deceased and to the high station which he so
lately occupied, and from which he had just stepped
down to die
A large meeting of the French citizens of Pha-
delphia was held last evening, at which eloquent
speeches were delivered by French and German
orators, and resolutions adopted, expressing, in
the language of the resolutions "great Indignation
at the base conduct of their own government to-
wards the Roman Republic and other European ma
tons struggling TO free themselves from the yoke
eftyrants." Another resolution suggests 'that the
Government of the United States in order to prove
their sympathy towards the nations which follow
their example, should break up their friendly rea-
tons with government which so misunderstands
its mission"
Theatricals are at low ebb. The principal
theatres-the Walnut and Arch-have been closed
for two weeks past. At the Chestnut, sage-struck
youths hold forth in tragedy to the infinite amuse-
ment of their audiences.
The Board of Canal Commissioners have fixed
upon a route for avoiding the inclined plane on the
Columbia and Philadelphia railroad at the Schuyl-
kill. The route determined upon will terminate al
the western end of the Market Street bridge; and
should the city authorities promptly assume the
completion of a connexion between the terminus
and the city, the work will be commenced at once
/ Ii they decline, the matter will remain unsettled
until another route shall be agreed upon by tn,
board This inclined plane has been a great an
nua expense to the State, and occasions mucl
delay. 1t is to be hoped the city authorities will
act promptly in the matter, in order that this grea
public nuisance may be abated.
The brewers of this city have published a card
in which they say, that since the epidemic, will
which we have this season been visited, first ex
hibited ITSELF up to this time not an instance hai
been heard OF, either in Philadelphia, New York
Baltimore, Albany, or any where else, of brewe
or brewersman being attacked with the Asiat
cholera.
