Writing and Copying
INK.

This COMBINATION Ink has been
over all others in New York. Boston,
aud Baltimore. ard pronounced by the
most celebrated chemists the best Ink ever
offered to the public.
1t is used by many of the largest Com
mercial Houses, Banks, Railroads, and
other corporations IN New York Boston,
Cincinnati, and Louisville, and gives per-
feet satisfaction.
The Advantages OF this over other
Inks are
First. 1t flows freely from the pen, ana
does not th1cken by exposure to the air.
Second. 1t will give a perfect and in
Simultaneous copy.
Third, 1t will not mould.
Fourth. Being equally as good for Copy
ing as for Bookkeeping, II entirely does
away with the use of two kinds of Ink.
Fifth. 1t is more permanent than com.
mon Inks.
Sixth. The color, when first written, is
beautiful dark green, but in remarkably
short time it changes TO a BRILLIA, E, JET
BLACK-nOJ a brOWnish black.
Seventh. II is admirably adapted to the
NEST delicate writing, and ALWAYS
makes its mark"
This Ink IS warranted TO fotO as freely as
Arnold s., or any other Writing FLtIid Nos in
use; TO give as perfect q copy as ana COp4IinO
Ink; 0otd not TO mould.

of Bernard Mulrenin, Esq. which occurred on
Brunswick street. For nigh half a century
he was we'll known as distinguished mini
AZURE painter in this city, and was associ-
ated for many years with the Royal Hiber-
MAN Academy, of which institution he was
an academician, and for some time filed
had very recently been selected to restore a
very famous picture of the great Liberator,
Daniel O'Connell. which work he lived but
to accomplish.
The same paper has the foNowing:-Jas.
Gahan, an Office clerk; John Joseph Ma
Grath, gas filter, and Robert Stowell, pawn
brokers' assistant, were arrested some days
since under the Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act, and lodged in Richmond Bride
we'll, where they still remain. 1t is stated
that documents of an important character
have been found in the possession of one of
the prisoners. Robert Stowell is brother
of Richard Stowell, who was convicted
last year for having in his possession n
number of rifles, and who, it may be
remembered, was kept in Mas Jail till dis
ease, generated during his incarceration,
had brought him to the verge of death,
when lie was released to die outside the
prison walls.

Lower Abbey street, tavern proprietor, and
Charles Peter Gavin, retired local inspector

insolvency lists.
Sergeant Dewey seized a large number of
guns, rifles, and revolvers, recently, in IL
store belonging to one of the steamship COM
panies, Dublin. The arms, which were
in eases, were consigned to Il person at
Jury's Hotel. Inquiries having been made
i'll that establishment, it was found that the
consignee was not stopping there. The
arms were then removed to the Castle Yard
where they will be retained. A belief is
entertained that the arms were merely sent
! in the course of business.

EDITORS LEDGER: The Legislature,
after q session of twenty-seven days,
took RECESS till the first Monday in
November. The bill providing for the
election of the Presidential electors by
the General Assembly passed both
Houses, but was vetoed by the Governor.
The vote on the question in the Senate
was so close that no attempt was made
TO pass the measure over the veto. 1t
was also found to be very unpopular
bill to the negroes, who looked upon it
as taking away their right to vote, and
it also seemed TO them that their Radical
friends had lost confidence IN them.

by the Conservative party, in not voting,

WASHINGTON. August l8.--The treaty

Last night some Of the members Of the

remarks, voice was heard, "Claim
