ARRIVAL or THE PROPELLER IRON OITY--Ihc
propeller Iron Ciiy, Capt J. Z. TURNER, airiv
ed at her dock on Saturday evening last at about
seven O'Clock. Clerk HOLLAND says they had
pleasant trip, cool weather, and the passen-
gers generally enjoyed themselves. a portion
Of the Hecker band went up, and enlivened the
passage with their best notes. The Iron CHy
left Outonagon on Monday evening, 10Th inst,
and arrived at Detroit on Saturday morning at
o'clock When she left Marquette on Tues
day night at about eleven O'Clock, the wind was
blowing very fresh; and when near Grand Sa-
bic two of her smoke pipe stays were carried
away. She headed 10 the lea, and repaired
them, temporarily but At about halfPast three
a m, of Wednesday, put back to Grand Island
Harbor, where she arrived at eight O'Clock and
remained until Thursday afternoon. About an
hour after the arrival Of the Iron City at Grand
Island Harbor, the blrque Amsri;dA Republic
came in from Grand Sable She was bound
down from Marquette with 4 cargo Of iron ore /;
her main yard had been carried away, her main
sail split, and her jib and mizzen sail had also
been taken away. She was in leaky condition,
and il was about as much as her crew could do to
keep her free. The steamer CITY Of ClersiaAd
was met on Thursday a little aDOve Whitefsh
Point and the schooner Sarah A. Hibbard of
Thunder Bay Island with deck load of hay
and apples in barrels. The propeller Young
America was met near the same place. she re-
ported her wheel broken, but would be able TO
get to Chicago safely, and threw a letter on
board the Iron Cay for Capt. KEATINs. The
Young America belongs, we believe, to Messrs.
CHAxBsRLAIx CRAwFORD. The propeller
Northern Light was met near Middle Island,
Lake Huron.
The propeller Iron City brought down con-
siderable freight and about fifty passengers to
Detroit and twenty to Cleveland. She starts
on her return on Wednesday evening next.

Police Conn, AUs. sI.-The first case
called was that of Michael Kramer charged
with assault and battery of the person Of Billy
HauweIl Billy HArtwell testified that Mike
had called him bad uamcs-,hat he asked Mike
who he Iaeant by such names Mike then al
tempted to stab Billy with an open knife, but
Billy kicked Mike and kept him away But
Mike managed TO catch Billy by the arm, AMI
running around back OF him, stabbed him Sc
verely in the thigh. Jimmy Cunningham tes-
titled 10 the same thing; but one Henry Cooley
told an entirely different story. Whereupon it
transpircd that Mrs Kramer, Mikes mother,
had agreed to pay the said Henry Cooley TWEEN
ty-fye cents, and the half Of little pig which
Mike and Henry owned between them, for
swearing as he did The Court found Mike
guilty, and fined him IS and costs and ordered
him to the dungeon of the county jail to be ted
ten days on bread and water. Nike has been
before the Court before. None of the parties
IN the case were over fifteen years Of age, and
all live on old River street, West Side.

civ and country Ranks.

AS the Banks of Richmond refuse to take on
deposit or otherwise, the issues of the indepeu
dent Banks, the latter, it is said, have refused
to discount paper for any merchant who pro
poses to use the proceeds in Richmond. The
consequence is that portion of the Richmond
trade is diverted to Baltimore. A correspon-
dent of the Wing, who writes from Albemarle,
iustifes the course pursued by the country
Banks, and illustrates its necessity as follows:
"a merchant wants paper discounted, soy at
the Valley Bank at Staunton, and wishes to use
the proceeds in purchasing his goods in Rich
mond. Suppose the bank grants the discount
and il Is not convenient to pay in any other than
its own issues. The merchant carries the money
to Richmond, and pays it to the Richmond mer-
chant. The Richmond banks refuse to take il
on deposit, and the Richmond merchant carries
it to broker and sells it at half per cent. dis
count, and the broker the same or the next day
sends it home for redemption in specie.
SIS it not evident, under these circumstances,
that the bank would be going against its own
interest in paying out its own issues for the pro-
ceeds of paper discounted, when it is certain
that they would be returned so speedily for re-
ueinptlOns
The writer can find no excuse for the conduct
of the Richmond Banks, but regards it as an act
of wanton oppression against the Interior Banks
and the citizens of Richmond. The law passed by
the last Legislature, requiring oil demands to be
paid in specie, is mere pretext; for the gener'
al Banking law required the same thing before
and the Richmond Banks still receive the notes
of their branches, which they do not redeem
The Farmers Bank will take the notes of the
Branch of the Bank of Virginia at Fredericks-
burg, and reject the notes of the Bank of Com
merce, issued at the same place. Why discrim-
mate between the two Banks, if the reason as
signed for rejecting the notes of the Independent
Banks he the real ona that governs them?

The ssDudIey,, Observatory.

We have received several pamphlets giving a
history of the difficulties at the "Dudley Observ-
atory," at Albany, New York. The trustees on
the one hand and the scientific CounciF' on
the other have been contending for the control
and management of the Institution, which is
now in the hands of the "Council." The pam
phlet before is contains the statement of the
Trustees, and most entertaining document it
it is. AS we have never seen the statement of
DR.. Gould, the obnoxious Director, and his asso-
ciates of the Scientific Council, we are not pre-
pared to say which party IS in the right, though
the Trustees make out very ugly case against
the distinguished "Scietists." Two things are
very evident, however, from the pamphlet. First,
that there is great deal of humbug in Science
rs we'll as other things, and second, that old
Mrs. Dudley was most beautifully didded out
of her money. The old lady paid about $70, 900
for the privilege of having her name associated
with the Observatory. If we had some such old
lady in our midst, we would soon put the gss
works through. We shall never see the Dudley
Observatory mentioned again without thinking
of Dr. Gould, and the Heliometer, and the Calcu-
lating Machine, and the "Corning" clock.

Foruey,s Revelations.

Tho revelations Of John W. Forney are I'M
don btedly somewhat damaging to the reputa-
tion of the President and several members of his
Cabinet. They exhibit Mr.. Buchanan in posi-
tions which are by no means calculated to in
crease the public admiration for him. For ex-
ample. witness his trucking to Bennett of the
N. Y. Herald, after that paper, in the language
ofForney, "had poured the vials Of utter and in
conceivable wrath upon his head" The friends
of the Administration denounce Forney as un-
worthy of respect or belief, but we agree with
the Alexandria Gazette in having as much res
pect for him now as we had when Mr.. Buchan-
an urged the Pennsylvania Legislature to elect
him q United States Senator. He has done
nothing since then to forfeit public condolences
It is rather singular in the history OF the pres
ept Administration, says the Gazette, that its
bitterest assailants, and the most determined en-
emies 1t has had to encounter, have been those

Protective Tariff.

The old Wing tariff doctrine is getting to be
immensely popular at the North. All parties
there are in favor of it. The Democracy are its
stoutest champions. Democratic Conventions,
candidates for Congress, and newspapers all de-
mand that tariff for revenue shall be SO levied
as to enable American manufacturers and produ-
GERS to compete with the people of Europe
Unwilling as the Southern Democracy are to
recognise the existence of any diversity Of opin-
ion in the party, they are obliged to notice and
protest against this heresy of their Northern
brethren. When Congress assemblies we shall
see to what extent the party is "a unit"

DESTRUCTION OF THE CHRYsTAL PALAoE.-The
Crystal Palace, in New York city, was entirely
destroyed by fire on Tuesday afternoon last
The building, it will be recolected, was erected
for the Worlds Fair, held in 1852, aud was con-
structed almost entirely of iron and glass. AT
the time of the fire the annual fair of the Amer
lean Institute was in progress in the building,
and the whole of the valuable deposits on exhi-
btion were destroyed The total loss ofprop-
erty is estimated at halfa million of dollars. A
mong the property destroyed in the Palace were
several fine pieces of statuary, including Kiss
Equestrian statute of the Amazon; Marochet-
it's fine colossal statute OF Washington :; caste
from Thorwasden's group of the Apostles o
bass relief of the descent from the Cross -
mantle statute of Columbus, and several other
valuable works of art. Forty pianos, valued at
5000, were destroyed and jewelry to the a.
mount Of $4,000. The iron tower at the an
giles of the building and small portion of the
sides is all that is LETT standing of the cele-
brated structure. Everything else is mass
of ruins. The glass was fused by the heat into
laI ge masses.
