They came to no definite conclusion how- ever. i> The Coroner's Jury in the case of the murder of Pearce at a house of ill-fame, in Balti- more, agreed upon the following verdict : That the deceased came to his death from wounds in his head. from a gun in the hands of some person or persons unkaown to the jury, and that the jnry further believe that Kate Suriver, Mary Miller and Elizabeth Brown are accessories before the fact.

The telegraph states that an application has been nade to the President for United States troops to pro- tect the Custom Houseand Assay effice. The de- monstrators had also turned their indignation against Mayor Wood, and threatened to brag him from his office. A squad of police were stationed at the City Hall to protect the Mayor from his re- cent edmirers. A Teywet to France —The Siecle states that the possibility of uniting England and France by means of a submarine tunnel has been practically and screntifically considered by a skiliful engi- neer, M. A. Thome de Gamond. This gentle- man bas submitted bis project in the first place to the Emperor, who was ly struck with it. Aftewards the Minister of Public Works, in ac- cord with the Minister of Marine, named a spe- cial commission, composed of the most scientific notabilities. The commission bas decided that M. Thome de Gamond was no mere dreamer. The English Government have also named. on their side, a commission, and it is probable that in the coming spring French and Enylist engi- neers will apply themselves to the work of vizeo-- ously examiaing the practicability of the pro- ject.” Tue Penxsyiraxia Baxx.—The stockholders ofthe Pensylvania Bank held a meeting at Phila- Celphia yesterday, when Col. Patterson, the President, and the board of directors resigned their posts. Resolutions were passed appointing 8 committee to investigate the frauds and select new directors. Col. Patterson said that no re- ports could be made under the present circum- stances, bot it was possible that by careful nurs- ing the debts of the bank could be paid, and per- haps the bank resuscitated. Many of the speakers denounced President Allibone in the most severe terms. Jobn BM. Dutton defended his character, and declared that be would return, and no one would dare then repeat the slander. Great con- fusion followed, aud a storm of hisses and groans interupted the speaker. Aresolution to accept the act legalizing the suspension was adopted, when the meeting adjourned. A CLercrman Garzoten —On Wednesday evening last. as the Rev. Mr. Lord, Pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Harlem, was passing through the Second avenue, near 119%¢h street, a desperate roffian suddenly spring upon bim, and struck bim a violeat blow opon the neck, follow- ing up the attack by another blow in the face.— Mr. Lord ging very athletic, and the bighway- man finding that his blows had not Produced any effect, ran off at ae? spred. He was, however, followed by Mr. L , who, after chasing him two or three blocks, floally secured him ina grocery store, into which he bad run with a view of es- caping. The reverend gentleman collared the jan, and handed him over to the police, who locked him up. This is Mr. Lord’s second in- troduction to a garroter.

Riot To-Day ut New “York.—The tolegraphie despatch received in an here by Assistant Treasurer Rynders, for U. 8. military ing the public property in tim should be in dangerj& thécourse of wns looked for to to-day, is p rect. \Certain it is that Adjutant General Cooper, and Colonel Harris of the Marine Corps=the latter being in attendance on the Naval Courts in this ¢ity as ja witness—were yesterday dis- patched to New York by the afternoon train. Iris understood that they were ‘charged with the duty of having emerything in readiness to protect the property of the United States there of every description, including, of course, the specie in the Sub-Treasury. They are discreet, experienced and efficient officers, and will, we know, be careful in all the arrangements they may feel called on to make to meet any possi- ble emergency. Tax Posiic Prixtine.—The New York Herald“ puts in’? its ‘oar’? upon this subject, arguing that there is likely to be a very gene- ral muss with reference to it, and concluding with an appeal for the establishment of a Gov- ernment Printing Office. We see no good end to be attained by anything of the sort. An United States government printing establish- ment can hardly fail to become the grandest eleemosynary institution the: world ever saw ; costing the National Treasury millions on mil- lions more than the cost of the public printing at the present time, which is much Jess than the public are being led to believe by persons who, considering it -‘plunder,’’ are endeavor- ing to clutch it after the fashion of highway- men. The prices paid at this time are some thirty per centum less than when it was done by the venerable Thomas Ritchie, while the wages paid by the public printer are full six- teen per centum higher. But with reference to the scheme for making a public printing bureau, we have to ssy from our own experience here, that it will turn out to be neither more nor less than a sort. of huge hospital in which to keep, at the expense of the national treasury, all the used up and broken down printerein the Union who claim te have rendered political services to individual mem- bers of Congress of all parties—cross- roads and rum-shop ‘‘strikers,”’ and inditers of personal partisan appeals in their behalf in country weeklies. The beneficiaries of such an ¢stab- Vishment will take due care that the wages alloted to them shall be fat salaries—not print- ers’ wages, according to the rules of the trade. As for the Herald’s idea that the out: ide ange the destination of the pub- to be very great, it is evidently true. Bvery hungry individual--for plunder—in the land. appears to have set his heart on get- ting his spoom into the dish ; those known noto- riously as constitutional plunderers being loud- est in their denunciation of the present system, while most eager to fasten themselves upon the publie printing by the means of black mailing or frightening the present printer into buying them off. If rumor be true, he is daily beset by such propositions. Our advice to him is to keep his hands clear of any cahood- ling with any parties who proclaim that they regard the public printing under the present system as being plunder. We regard him as being 2 candidate upon his individual merit as an experienced and previously well-tried mechanic, and as a consistent and reliable Democrat who has given dollars in aid of the Democratic party cause, where those who re- gard the public printing as plunder and are seeking to obtain it as such, have given pennies to the same cause. We are heartily sick and tired of the efforts being made to mislead the public and Congress on this subject, and propose to publish brief daguerreotype sketches of the raids of the plunder-mongers who are smelling around the public printing, upon the national treasury— showing up their former connection, direct and indirect, with what they evidently regard as treasury plunder‘ng schemes, and their jobs in Prospective, which are not few in number. That is. if we can find time so to do. This public printing matter is one of no little im- portance to the business interests of the Fed- eral Metropolis, hundreds of our best mechan- ics and their families deriving their bread from it; and we are no longer disposed to remain quiet on the subject while gangs of treasury plunderers by trade are setting their traps to induce the removal of the work from our midst in their efforts to secure its alleged pro- fits for themselves, probably in the name of others. The only change that can possibly be made will be to let the work out to the lowest bidder, to be executed where wages paid to printers may be lowest, of course. Such must be the upshot of the labors of the plunder- mongers in this convection. it they manage to effeet anything beyond their own individual exposure. Tae Prosasiuity or a Recexcy iw Prvs- s1a.—The current disability of the King of Pru:- sia has created a hubbub in governmental (cabi- net and diplomatic) circles of Europe that hasex- tended even among the diplomats stationed at this distant Cabinet. The question in issue is, whether Prussia is to be temporarily governed by a regency. The only information that we bave seen on the subject, that looks like shed- ding light on it, is in a late Berlin letter to the London Times, whieh is as follows. Viz: ‘ The probabilities of a Regeacy being instita- ind spycam Soainsa-se just now on the increase, and if realized will be matter of congratulation. since, both for the country and for the Prince of Prussia, it would be a far preferable state of things toa | leew adiinistration of the busi- ness of the Government merely in the name of the King, as being more definite and conferi ‘agreat- er degree of liberty on the temporarybold of pewer.

We hear, further, of the ucen’s having within the last or two made some uttempts, without success, induce the King to sigu the document empowering bis brother to act in his name; a piece of information which, othe:wise not very reliable, aires credibility and consistency from the efforts of certain officicur Correapandénte to persuade the world there never has been any such document bt of.

Believing that the ‘time has come when she can secure to “herself the best one, she has stepped forward to do that thing—using Costa Rica as the monkey used the cat's paw—to draw the chestnuts from the fire. No sensible person can find fault with ber for essaying to assuro the Nicaragua transit route to herself. It is her plain duty to do so, if that be possible. Tue Dream or Last Niagut.—On Saturday day last, we tock occasion to publish a few sta- tistics from the San Francisco Herald, the gist of which went to show that in an hour, as it were,--measuring time by the, in thisconnection. appropriate standard—by that. occupied in the rise. progress, and duration of nations,—Cali- fornia has becomea State of this Union of lead- ing importance, both industrial and political. Her rise and progress, as we proved by those brief statistics, has been more remarkable than that of any other State or country known to the history of any times since history began to be written. On that occasion, however, the facts we mentioned bore principally on her poli- tical importance. Since, we have seen a copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Alexander S. Tay- lor, an intelligent gentleman engaged in writing the history of that State, to the Secretary of the Enterior, to the end of showing the absolute importance of settling the disputed land titles of California with as little delay as possible; which, by the by, Secrotary Thompson is caus- ing to be done most satisfactorily to the people ot that State, we take it. The letter in question, however, embraces many interesting and. important facts concern- ing the State’s present and future, which should be known to all; for they bear on the solution of the question whether Congress should or should not at the approaching session devote muchef its time to her necessary requirements in the way of legislation. It will be remembered by our friends that the Scar has steadily urged upon Congress for four years past, the vital importance of assuring California to the rest of the Unioa by the only course of action through which that can be done. That is, by enacting for her such stat- utes of the Gencra! Government without delay, as would doubtless have been passed in her be- half by this time, had she been fifty, forty, thirty, oreven but twenty yearsa member of thé Union—she being at this moment hardly second in industrial and political (International) im- portanee to her sister States, to any other sov- ereign of the North American confederacy. The ill success of our efforts and those of her delega- tion in Congress up to this time is no reason why they should be relaxed, for the emergency for them increases hourly. To the end explained above we therefore spread before the Star's readers so much of the admirable letter of Mr. Taylor, as serves to show how really important California is to her sister States and the business world at large: Monterey, Cal., July 25, 1857. To the Hon. Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior: My Dear Str: I hope you willexcnsethe great Mberty I take in addressing you on the subject of this letter, and more particularly as my state- ments may not be capable of immediate proof at Washington except from perfectly disinterested parties. The subject of land claims in California is one which is of the greatest importance to the ple of ou as Well ax being a matter of intense oliti “hificance to the Government of the Jnited States.

The latter is, however. the real want—the former can be readily dispensed with. A party of la- borers nnmbering nine or ten, and armed with old fowling pieces, appeared at Third and Chest- nut streets, hetween ten and eleven o'clock in the morning. cafrying a banner upon which was. in- seribed the words, ‘ We will proteet the Poor *? First came a fellow mounted upon a huge shagg horse which looked as if he had gone througtall sorts of bard service, Immediately after the horseman came a man bearing the banner, (a white muslin one.) stretched upon a wooden frame. Upon the top of the banner a large loaf of bread was stuck Seven men, each armed with an old fowli rey iece, following the banner, marching in single le. The ‘Protectors of the Poor,”’ marched up Sixth street and along Chestnut to Third, when Sergeant Carson and a party of seven men inter- cepted the party and escorted them to the Central Station. The *‘Protectors’’ turned into Walnut street from Third, where they were pounced upon, and all were captured with the exception of the sotitary horseman, who succeeded in making his escape, leaving bis steed in the hands of Sergeant Carson's party. The ‘Protectors’? were marched to the Central Station at Fifth and Chestnut streets, followed by an immense crowd. Old Woolley was sent to a neighboring stable; the fle were stacked iu the turnkey’s room, and i coe abit rene were plaved in the cells of the lock-up.
