THE PHILADELPHIA ROGUE"S PORTRAIT GAL
LERY.
lErnm the PHILADELPHIA Bulletin. March %.

There is a gallery of portraits in Philadelphia which
possesses more interest than many a much more costly
collection, but which is rarely seen except by policemen,
rogucs, and those ubiquitous individuals who pry about
everywhere, and who are known us reporters for the
press. The gallery we refer to is located in the dctee-
tive's room in the basement of the mayors Office, and
the portraits arc the Photographic likcnesscs of the evil
doors who fail into the hands OF the police from time TO
time. There are great numbers Of light fingered gentry
constantly prowling about seeking what they may steal.
When these customers fall into the hands of the officers
they have their 'siogrntypes' taken, and if there is not
sufficient evidence to insure n conviction of the scamps
their persons and faces are at least photographed, and the
originals are kept in check by a knowledge of this fact.
Most Of the noted 'tknucks, or pickpockets, have their
pictures in this gallery, and the utility of the arrange
ment is manifest. When a citizen or stranger is re-
lieved of his watch or his pocket-book, and lodges infor-
nation of the fact with the detectives, he is afforded q
peep at the Rogue's gallery, and there, in all ~probabili-
ty, he finds the picture OF some nice young man who was
very pressing in his politeness in q railway cur, or OF
some trough" who jostlcd the loser very unceremoniously
in a crowd, about the time his pocket book or his watch
took unto themselves wings.
The officers are thus put upon the track Of Alitup
Chucks,'' or ''Manchester Bill, or .pusty Boil" = aud
photography is made to lend its aid In the detection OF
rogues. New policemen arc afforded an opportunity TO
study the faces of old scamps by means of this system.
and there are numerous other advantages which are too
obvious TO be detailed.
The Rogues' gallery now contains u great number Of
portraits, from that of the petty sneak thief or confidence
man to the most expert pickpocket, or the desperate
burglar. There are young and sheepish- looking faces in
the collection which are masks for very vicious hearts,
and there are countenances among the portraits which
very plainly indicate the scoundrel. The unprofessi0nal
visitor who views the portraits in the gallery for the first
time is surprised at the number of familiar faces which
meet his gaze nor is he less surprised to learn that the
natty looking young gentleman whom be is in the habit
Of seeing ON the promenade, at the theatre, the concert,
or wherever else there is a crowd, il a professional pick
pocket, known to the police by some such elegant name
as "Artful Andy" or "Bucky Benny" The Rogues'

LOSS or THE BARK DROMHAIR.


ltrom the New york ENenng Post, March Isl
The ship Centurion, Captain Calkins, from Glasgow,
january Sd, arrived at this port this morning. She has
on board two of the crew Of the British bark Dromhair,
which vessel was waterlogged at sea. Captain Calkins
reports January 9th, latitude 90 40, longitude 1so,
fell in with British bark Dromhair, from Quebec for Sligo,
waterlogged, and took oil the survivors Of the crew,
seven in number, the remainder tive having persisted
through starvation, having been twenty one days on tho
wreck, with only half a biscuit q day, and what water
they caught when it rained.
The Drofnhair was from Quebec, bound to Sligo, in
Ireland, with a cargo of timber. She had experienced Q
succession OF heavy west and northwest gales until De-
cember 20, while lying too in a tremendous gale, she was
boarded by a sea which swept the decks of everything
houses, bnlwarks, rails, staunc'cons, wheel, with pe
man. the vessel also sprung a leak. The pumps we've
kept going, and she was got free, but the gale continuing
she filled again, and became perfectly upmanageahle,
every sail set having been blown from the yards. The
crew were in this situation for twenty-one days, subsst
Ing for fourteen days on half q biscuit per day. and what
water they could catch running DOVE the rnasts. ttp
other seven days they lived ON small strips Of salt polk
only. s.
During these twenty-one days three of the crew died
from exhaustion and starvation, and two Others died after
being seen by Captain Calkius, OF the Centurion. Those
surviving were Captain Hutchinson, MI. Elliot, chief ohi-
Ger the second mate, steward, and three of the seamen;
all OF whom, except Mr.. Elliot and one seaman, were

Advice to the people of 'tho land of steady habits
Connecticut-as to how they ought TO vote at the next
election is the staple article in the composition of to-
days back-republican journals. | can easily imagine
why thoae papers should feel uneasy and alarmed, be-
cause the accounts i have received as to the prospects in
Connecticut lead to me to believe confidently that not
only will Messrs. Bishop and Arneld bo reelected, but
the democrats will also elect Mr.. Hyde, and perhaps the
other member. The Connecticut men will risk all the
miseries which the Tribune prophecies as likely 10 follow
a democratic success, and forego the manifold blessings
which would be heaped on them should they choose abo
litiopists TO represent them in Congress, who will vote
for Grow and be generally sound ON the niger question.
The Tribune calculates ON 100 black republicans in the
next Congress, and therefore assumes that the Niger
worsbippers will have the organization of the House.
1t takes for granted that its ''word TO Connect
CUT will have the effect of carrying the State. It
counts Rhode Island as certain to be black -republi.

and it has 20 doubt whatever as to equal sue
cess in Minnesota. 4 haye seen a gentleman Of high
position and influence in that State, within a few days,
and he assured me that he entertained the most s%anguine
expectation that the democrats would win in Minnesota
at the next election. The Tribune is right in stating,
with ~lattering confidence, that Clark, Haskin, and Rey-
nolds "will not vote against US (the Tribune q Co. in
the organization" Those gentlemen are renegade dem
ocrats who, having forfeited by the most base political
treachery the confidence of their democratic constituents,
were 'tohosen by republican votes, :" MS the Tribune hon.
estly admits, and undoubtedly sympathize with the re-
publicans on most points. There is no doubt on that
point. If It's necessary-or indeed whether it is or not
Heskin and Clark viii vote for Grow. They hoped TO
have 2 chance Of voting for themselves and getting Grow
to vote for them, but they were too ambitious. They
have done the dirty work by which they expected TO win
the reward, but they have not yet had time 10 make
themselves clean, or get rid of the faint Of ~treachery
which always attaches 10 traitors and spies. Tho Til.

representative from the Duchess and Columbia district
was elected from that body on Wednesday last. The
pretenee under which this highhanded outrage has been
committed was, that Mr. Vaudeville had held the office
Of postmaster ut StuyYesant. There was, however, no
proof OF such a fact before the senate. Mr.. Vaudeville
had never received a commission, and had at no time
been authorized TO act in that capacity. The black-Ie-
publican majority, by u corrupt resolve, had however de-
teunined upon the necessity Of his expulsion, and the
complete failure of proof to establish their excuse the

of these colonies under similar circumstances, and insists
that the time is at hand when like action should and

This is the probable amount that will be saved this
year, from present indications, by ''this administers
ton of ours. Allowing for all contingencies, the
amount can safely be estimated at thirty millions. From
these figures our readers can see how little reliance is to
be placed upon republican electioneering statements
and they can also see the difference between republican
increase and democratic reren hneat of expenditures. In
this State the in ,eose, under their management, has been
almost one hundred pr CEN. Perhaps the people will CON
sent to have these Improbable servants to ride over
them a year or two longer.

troop and was accustomed to relate from hef
rich recollection many Other incidents of that
interesting period which have never been writ

which she died was old age.
