Robbery the "Owl Train" from Phia
depha was at the railroad depot at the foot of
Marketstreet, Wednesday morning man was seen
going through the depot, in a sly way, with bale
of goods which he placed in the hindmost car, and
then walked TO the first car and got in himself
Just before the train started the conductor OBJ
served that he had on more cars than he wanted
and told a man employed on the train to unfasten
two of them, which was done, and the train pro-
ceeded TO Jersey city with the pretended owner of
the bale, but leaving il behind in the car. Shortly
after the train had left, the bale of goods was dis
covered by person who had seen the actions of
the man who put il in. Il was, therefore, put into
the depot for safe keeping. About eight o'clock
two men came up from Jersey city for it, saying
that friend had left it in the cars and had sent
them for ii. They were informed that they could
not have il, but that they could send the owner for
il. About ten o'clock one of the firm of Little u
Pagan proceeded TO, the depot and identified the
goods as theirs, which had been stolen from their
door on Monday night shortly after the express
wagon had left. The bale was valued at about
three hundred dollars.

Important improvement aud Economy in

the Manufacture of Flour.-A recent English
paper contains detailed account of a remarkable
invention, which is likely to effect acomplete
luton in the manufacture of -four. The improve
ment consists in the substitution of conical for fiat
mllstones. II was stated by committee of the
House of Parliament that by this invention
81 ,S57 40 quartern loaves, in addition TO those
which are now made from the same quantity of
wheat. would be produced giving a clear saving
of upwards of f2000000 per year.
The tsconical" mill is ntented TO obviate the de-
fects of the fiat mill The beneficial changes eff.
tected may be succinctly enumerated. First the
reduction of the weight of the running stone from
Ii cwt. TO cwt., by placing it beneath instead of
size of the stones in the proportion of 3 "a To / ;
and thirdly the giving 10 the stones new form
that of the trustum Of a cone. The advantage of
cssening the diameter and weight of a'mass Of
which the one is cwt., and the other cwt., will
be apparent, when il is considered that its ehec-
tive velocity is 100 revolutions per minute, and
that this velocity must be sustained against the
enormus friction of the grinding surfaces. The
altered position of the running stone admits Of
much more delicate adjustment of the opposing
surfaces and gives TO the miller am easy and efec
tive control over the most important portion of
his operation The conica form facilitates the dis
charge OF the -four, and obviates the cogging and
overwhelming of the old practice In addition to
these advantages, by iudcious modification Of
the ordinary mode of dressing, or rather by com
bination OF the mill will the dressing machine, Il
perfect separation OF the Hour from the bran is
effected at the moment the grist escapes from the
stones. The bran still remains in the mill and falls
by its own gravity second pair of stones in all
respects resembling those already described

The Murder at Jamaica, l.. I.--McCoy AM

The Murder at Jamaica, l.. I.--McCoy AND
DUFFY STILL. IN PRsoN.--The revolving and brutal
murder OF the young girl, Catharne Quigley near
jamaica, Long Island, still remains the topic of
conversation Michael Mccoy and James Duffy,
the two young lrishmen arrested Sunday
charged with the preparation OF the crime, We're
examined yesterday.
There friends have employed Vessel S. Smith to
defend them. The examination was not concluded,
but, from the testimony adduced suspicion is fast
ened still stronger upon them the guilty parties.
They were seen standing near the pond where the
body of the murdered girl was found shortly before
She would, in all probability, have passed there;
and the witness who saw them also passed the
girl few moments previous. After passing the
girl and the two men, he met, about mile distant,
a man and woman in wagon. This couple
testify that they met the two men shortly after
they met the witness, who saw them by the pond
and that they did not meet the girl. The inference
is, that she came up while they Were standing by
the road side; that they committed the crime, and
then passed and met the man and woman
III the wagon. As no one else was seen or met
on the road by any of the witnesses, it is almost
certain that these two men are the murderers
During Sunday a large concourse OF people Wis
tied the pond on Mr.. Dentons farm, anxious to
witness the spot where the poor girl suffered at
the hands of the murderers. The pond was raked.
and the white handkerchief known TO belong to the
deceased was found On il We're stains of blood;
and il is the impression that the handkerchief had
been thrust into the mouth of the deceased to pre-
vent her making an alarm, and that when they
disposed of the body in the water, they also threw
in the handkerchief with the view of eradicating
any trace ofthe girls property.-D0y Book

English Opinions of American state Papers


The London Ne1pS remarks:
From the time of Alexander Hamilton 10 that
of Edward Everett the reports and correspon-
dence sent out by congressional committees and
heads of departments have been of such singular
merit as to fix the attention of society in Europe,
wherever the English language is Familiarity read
The wonder is less to persons familiar with the
structure and workings of the American govern
mcnt than to those who know only European
ways The statesmen at Washington are usually
educated gentlemen and men ofbusiness at once;
usually professional men, who yet have had occa-
sion, i'll the course of their lives, to do with their
own hands much of the real business of life; and
there nothing like that sort Of experience, when
combined with aliberal education for enabling men
TO take and express sound and clear views of poti
cal subjects. Webster used 10 say that he did his
business all the better for having taken his fathers
horse TO water before he went TO college; and
Clay boosted of his manual tolls as one of the
chief preparations of his craftsmanship. Chosen
from among the people, the great officers of gov
eminent know how to address the popular mind ;
and the popular mind in America, when dispas.
sionate, is mind of high order"

a somewhat characteristic incident which occurred
in the woman's rights convention in that city,
Another portion of this highly ornamental APP
pendage was VIM Lloyd Garrison, the bad-pated,
cold-hearted embodiment of intidelity and skcpti-
csm. In debate in which Rev Mr.. Nevn par
ticipated, and in which ever, he was gentle
scoundrel"
AS the audience passed out Of the hall, Mr.. Me-
wins brother, layInan, met him and inquired
whether those words were uttered III the heat OF
debate, or coolly. Retraction was refused, aud
the brother twisted Mr.. Garrisons nose, as he
hurled him against the wall of the Melodeon. Re-
covering his position, Mr.. Garrison said " Do you
treat gentlemen so ~ mo-" was the answer, !
treat no gentleman So but SO threat William Lloyd

tain it. / have examined ali the grounds,
Of any substance, that have been urged
against us, and if am not greatly mistaken there is
ments upon which these men seek to shelter them
selves, and if am right in this then it must be evil
dent to all that very great offence has been com
mitted. It has always been treated as grand Of

it must be SO in q government of laws where we do
not depend upon bayouets and soldiers for our rights
but where we seek through peaceable means the in.
fuence OF the Courts. ! say the offence is one OF
part our Courts have gone and been sustained
by the force of public opinion. The great body Of
the community, and certainly all the better portion
OF it, have been disposed to stand by the judiciary
and say its mandates must be obeyed 1t is not with
as as in Europe where courts influenced by SOL
diers and bayonets, but here we go by the power
of public opinion. This is the greatest outbreak
against the laws if we are right, that has happened
in this State since the murder of Steele They set
the laws at defiance, and say they above them.
This has been done by educated men, and men
having advantages to know better. Some OF them,
believe are lawyers; Alderman Sturtevant is,
know. These men are conservators OF the public
They sit in our Courts of Justice, and condemn the
poor, humble, and wretched man, who commits Of
fences against the laws. They condemn them for
violating the laws OF the land, and they themselves
band together to break them 1t is a dangerous ex-
ample. II is an indictabe offence; but whether the
Grand jury will take cogniZance of it, l do not
know. The Grand Jury, believe, are selected by
the aldermen themselves and if that be so, think
that is one Of the reforms greatly needed. If our
magistrates themselves claim the right to break the
laws, and to commit offences that indctable, and
they are to find the persons who to find the in.
dictment it is time that we had reform in the mode

or the District Attorney will move in this matter, it
is more than know: but this | do know if these
persons are not amenable for what they have done,
then most dangerous thing has been done in this
community dangerous to the administration of JUS
tice-and some exemplary mark ought to set upon
it, or our community cannot hold together. My
clients have brought this matter before the
Court and have discharged their duty, which was
all that they conld do in relation to it, and there
leave the matter, not doubling that the Court will
fearessly pronounce righteous judgment.
The Court then adjourned until Saturday next,
when Judge Duer intimated that judgment would be
given in this case
