THREE SCoTcH GtMs.--At the gallery OF
MIR. A. s. Robinson. No. 9lO Chestnut street,
there are now Tor sale three large and valuable
paintings from the easel OF John Wilson, the
celebrated Scotch artist Two OF the pictures
are IN the window, and are inspected hourly by
the people who pass the gallery. One is noble
landscape OF "Kilchurn Castle" at Loeb Awe,
in the Highlands, a scene around which clusters
much OF the historic interest that makes the
land Of Bruce immortal The painting Is re-
markable for its aerial perspective and the DIS.
tinctness of the objects detailed on the canvas.
The middle distance Is excellent, and the whole
picture is made clear and well defined by a
strong light thrown on the foreground.
The Crock OF Gibraltar" Is another painting
and one of the finest marines in the city, Its
geographical accuracy is vouchPd tor daily by
naval officers who stop TO admire 1t. The artist
has filled the harbor with the many classified
vessels of the Mediterranean, while an American
man-of-war and British irigate are turning
towards the Rock The vessels are very finely
drawn and the effect OF the water curling under
the bows OF the British frigate is very tne. The
light on the waves and The beautiful variations
OF light and shade on the rock, are the great
merits of the picture.
The third painting is a moonlight scene on
the Thames with gipsy encampment in the
centre. The wash and play of the river is ex-
quisitely finished, and the foliage OF the heavy
oaks that cover the tents of the Zingar stands
with singular clearness from the canvas. The
three pictures are tor sale.
CITY.-We would earnestly call the attention of
the Board of Health to the state of affairs in the
neighborhood of Twenty fourth and Coates
streets. An immense amount of refuse matter
has been collecting in that locality for weeks
past, and II it is not soon removed. the malaria
arising from it win do much towards rendering
the neIghborhood uninhabitabe, especially II
we are to have q visit from the genuine Asiat,c
cholera Let them bestir themselves in this
matter as soon as possible. There is but little
to be hoped for from the dwelers in the vicinity,
as they are mostly OF that class whose character
and habits do not prompt them t. 0are much
whether they live in cleanliness or die IN filth.
ARREST OF RIoTERs.-Three of the most
prominent of the rioters engaged in the affair at
Twenty-siXth and South streets, were arrested
on a canal boat below the Gray's Ferry bridge.
| They were taken by officers in a small boat, and
handed over to the police of the Fifth District.
| When taken they were on their way to New
| York. Their names are Pat, alias Rat De-
vinney, the ringleader, and the man the officers
| were endeavoring to arrest when the disturb
| anCe took place, Thomas Nuty, and John Mona
| CHAN. They were brought before the Mayor
| this morning and remanded for further hear
| ing. Deyinney is a Schuylkill Ranger, and an
old offender. He was badly cut about the head,
and presented very rntiianly appearance.
RIDING ON THE RAIL.-The Thirteenth
and Fifteenth Street Railway Company having
| concluded that their business would be facill-
| tated by the laying of track on Spring Garden
street, from Thirteenth tn Broad, commenced
| operations yesterday by cartihg to the scene a
| lot of rails. But the people who reside there
abouts have s'rong objections to this proceed.
ing, and have taken the nscessary legal measures
to have it prevented. Three of the men who
| carted the rails were accordingly taken into
| custody, on the charge OF misdemeanor, and
| when brought before Alderman Massey they
| were required to give bail in 5000 for further
| hearing.
| GRAND Hop AT THE SEASIDE.-A grand
| opportunity will be afforded those who delight
| to trip the LIGHT fantastic, to. o.morrow night at
| the United States Hotel at Atlantic City. From
the great preparations that are being made this
| promises TO be one of the most brilliant affairs
| of the season. A train will leave Camden at
| O'Clock tomorrow with eXcursionists for the
| hop. We would advise all who can leave the
| heat and dust of the city to do so, as this is a
! rare opportunity for enjoyment.
TILL-TAPPING.-A man named John Boyd
was arrested this morning at 130 A. NJ, at Forty
second and Ludlow Streets charged with steal
ing $40 from the till of the tavern kept by Mr..
| Davis, at the corner OF Forty-seCond and Market
| streets. He was held in $500 bail to answer by
Alderman Warren.
INDIGNATION MEETINe.-We call the at
| tention of our readers to the advertisement pub
lished elsewhere, and signed by many of our
| leading merchants, for meeting to protest
against the removal of Colonel William B.
Thomas, Collector of this port, and the appoint
ment OF Ex-Governor William F. johnson in his
| place.
CASES OF CHoLERA.-Up to 1 o'clock to-
| day there were five cases OF Cholera. or these
there was one died. One of those reported pre-
vously, died at the Hospital 1t is thought that
physicians do not report every case or report
| them as cholera morbus.
| DECEAsE OF A MAGIsTRATE.-Jchn G.,
Miller, one of the Aldermen for the Sixteenth
Ward, of this city, died this morning, after a
