"PRoGGEssIvE FRIEEDs. This new sect,
recently organized in Chester County, Pa,
have published an exposition adopted al
their yearly meeting. from which it appears
they are composed mostly Of those mem
bers Of one branch Of the Society of Friends
who have been earnestly engaged in the re-
formation movements Of the day against
slavery, intemperance, ETC., who conceive
that they were harshly dealt with on that
account. They hold that churches are
merely human organizations. possessing only
such powers as are conferred upon them
by their individual members. They deem
il .. great mistake in christian churches to
demand OF tIeir members Il uniformity oi
belief, aud they denounce the pharasaical
spirit which frowns upon amusements, and
which would cover society with a sanctimo-
niOus gloom. Their meetings are conduct.
ed very much like those of the Society o
Friends, except tifat they are not ruled by
elders, and hare no ministers, oycrseers
etc. As yearly meeting, this body dis
claims all disciplinary authority over indi
viduals or local societies. Individuals may
at any time withdraw from the Society with,
out being required to give reasons therefor
or being censured for so doing.

ExAMIsArION OF THE REMAINS OF Ar
TIT SrRIEG.-The body Of Arthur Spring
was taken to the dissecting room of the
Philadelphia College Of Medicine on Satur-
day, and anatomically examined by Profes-
sor James McClintock. in the presence OF
DIR. Kirkbride, DIR. Eve and several ply
sicians and other scientific gentlemen and
the students OF the medical class. The
Dslletin says:
The chronological developments of the
head Of the murderer was characteristic OF
the man. The head was large, being over
- inches in circumference. The percep-
tive faculties we're strong and the reflective
weak. Bencvolence and other organs,
which are the indications OF good disposi-
ton, were found 10 be poorly developed,
while sclishness and frmness were large
and cautiousness was well developed. Sc.
crctiveness was large, and the animal or
gans, such As coalbatvcncss aud destruc-
tiyeness, were enormous. The base of the
brain was very large. The forepart ofthe
head was very small, and the back very
large, indicating sensuality and cruelty

THE PRosrEcT OF THE CRors IN ENGLAND.
The London Mark Lane Express states
that under the combined influence of heat
aud moisture, the various crops have i'm
proved in appearance, and the reports from
the agricultural districts are already OF a
more cheerful character; at the same time,
the estimates of the probable result ofthc
harvest are net by any means sanguine.----
The extreme shortncss Of the breadthoi land
under wheatrendcrs very improbable that
the produce Of that grain can, under almost
any circumstances, prove large, and the late
period to which the sowing of spring corn
was unav oidably delayed, is certainly against
an early or productive year. Still, with an
auspicious summer, the result might be bet.
ter than anticipated, and merchants having
pro6tedby past experience are not likely tC
be tempted into speculative investments or
the chance ofa possible deficiency after har.
vest. Should The foreign supply fall off
however, and the consumption OF bread con
tnue as great as it has hitherto been, the
value Of wheat would probably improve

ATTEMPTED MURDEH- Didbolicai Oulrdge
"A laborer, named Patrick MeKuhn, who
has been in the employ OF Keck e. Co., car

sisting of a prudent, ,peaceable wife and
three children, one OF whom is a sucking
babe, occupy front basement room in one
Of the brick houses Of David Powell, on Con-
gress street, near Butler, attempted, early
yesterday morning, to take the life Of his
wife, by an attack upon her with a razor. -
The husband, it appears, is in the habit of
indulging ia sprees, ON which occasions his
wife has endeavored TO avoid him, as he has
often threatened to kill her. On Monday
night he came home about l2 O'Clock, and
was admitted to the room by his wife, on
his assurance that he came to give her part
OF her wages, but he evidently intended to
make an attack upon her life, for about
O'Clock, yesterday morning, he arose from
his bed, went to the drawer aud took out his
razor. and put II in his pocket, against the
earnest remonstrance OF the wife, on which
he struck her two severe blows across her
breasts with the razor, making frighiful and
dangerous wounds, so much SO that the nour-
ishment of the babe was mixed with the
blood.
I She with much courage parried the cuts
designed for her throat upon her arm, which
is severely wounded. Her wrenchins the
razor from his haed no doubt saved her life.
He threw her from the room into the entry,
and during the alarm created by the screams
of the wife and children, he made his escape.
He called early on those for whom he was
working drew some 81 that was due him,
and fled to the hills. He was arrested yes
terday noon, at the toll gate on Walnut
Hills, by officers Flack and Sharkey, and
will have an examination before the Police
Court this morning. The wounds were
dressed by Dr.. Carson, and last night there
were hopes entertained of her recovery

INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR REPREsEsrATIvrs
ABROAp.-Hon. Wm. U. Marcy, Secretary
OF State, has issued Instructions 10 our al.
Plomafic and consular agents abroad, in
tended TO effect certain important reforms in
those branches OF the public service. Here.
after our foreign ministers are 10 transact
their own business, and NOT transfer 10 their
secretaries the onus and responsibilities Of
Official signatures. For the future all our
foreign legations are ordered TO be open
every day, except Sundays, from 9 A. NJ. Ia
p. H., for the accommodation OF Ameri-
can citizens. and American passports are 10
be Vised gratis at the American legations in
all cases where there is one. All fees
paid at a consulate are TO be reported to the
State Department, under q penalty Of dis
missal from Office. The secretary has also
abolished consulaT and diplomatic uniforms
in all cases where they can be dispensed
with. Americas ministers must appear al
foreign courts 10 the simple dress OF an A.
merican citizen, where they can do so with
oat impaiTing their usefulness.

Of feeling among our people," says the
Secretary, SIS much more in accordance

hereafter allowed to act as Secretary Of lie.
CATION, and in this connection Mr.. Marcy
remarks:
"The correspondence between the gov.
ernment and the Legations of the United
States must be guarded with the ~ most Sc
crecy even as relates TO our own citizens
To submit il to the examination Ofa foreign.

sidered to be fidelity to his sovereign
Foreign cerks may justly be regarded as
unsafe repositories OF the secrets Of our di.
PlOmacy in the legation where they are en-.
ployed. The possibility that a revelation
of our secret Stale papers may occur in
this manner, is sufficient TO excite fears on
the subject. and require the strictest obsery.

No ACCOUNTING FOR TAsrE.-In the ear
ly part Of the 18th century, farmer from
little village near Lancaster, was condemn
ed to suffer the extreme penalty Of the law
for COW stealing; his wife called to sec him
few days previous to his execution, to take
her last farewell when she askd ifhs would
"like the children to see him executedi'' to
which he peremptorily replied. "No, what
must they come forI'' "Humph!" she re-
piled, "you are just as you always wasj you

CopPER MINES IN GEoRGTA.-Thc copper
mania speculation is raging in Georgia,
and the last Dalton Times says:
In Murray county they have gone per-
fectIy wild. The farmers, many Of them at
least, have left their farms to search for
mines. The Cohuttah Mon ntains arc al
most alive with them. Lots in Murray and
Whitefield counties that have always been
dull sale at s., (being mountain lots,) can
not now be bought for scarcely any price,
owing to the copper mania.
Operations are about to be commenced on
a mine two miles from Dalton, and it is said
there is no doubt that copper, silver and
lead abound in, that vicinity.

MoNoKGAHELA SLAoKwATER NAVIGATION.
This improvement has been, for some lime
past, exciting much attention at Pittsburg,
to which city it seems likely to be Of consid-
erable commercial Importance when com
pleted. Committees have been appointed
to canvass the whole city for subscriptions to
the. fund for extending it to the Virginia
line, and such vigor is manifested by its
friends that there appears to be no pros.
poets OF its failing for lack Of the needful
means.
