The following brief sketch of the principals inthe great billiard match is not without in- terest just now: | $ Michael Phelan, of New York, is the welf known billiard table manufacturer, who, some three years since, first introduced biz valuable improvements in cushions and the manufac- ture generally. which has already ed his Products almost beyond the reach of competi- tion, and opened the read for the most lucra. ve pecuniary remuneration. Mr. Phelan isa native of Iretand> from where he emigrated when he was about ? years of age; he is now in his 42d year; being married to an American Woman, and having nearly always resided in New York, where his children and grand children (he has three of the first aud two of the latter) wore born, he is supposed by most people to be a native of that city; but the facts sre a3 above stated. When a youth, for a short time young Phelan was engaged in a billiard reom; but desiring to learn a trade. he was apprenticed to a mauu- factariag joweler, at whici he steadily labored until he attained his majority. Long before he wae out of his time. his passion for billiards was ntrolable; his spare time and money ed to its pursuit, and as soon ax tho opportunity presented itself he embraced the ovcupation, and started the business of keep- ing a billiard room. He rapidly rose to great eminence a# a billiard player; but choose to discard the old style, or 5 ate game, aud was among the first to produee and perfect the four ball carrom game, which has proved not only the most elegant, instructive. and amus- ing; but also the game requiring the greatest scientific. intellectual, and executive abilities on the part of the manipulator. Tu IS4, being attacked with the then raging California fever, Mr. Phelan left for San Fran- ciseo, where, soon after his arrival, he played his first public match game. His opponent was Monsieur Damon. of Paris, France. The match was best in three games of 100 points exch— the French carom game, selected by the French- man, and the most tedious imaginable: only earoms count. aud then but one point—Phelan allowing the Frenehman twenty points in each game at the time. Phelan was the victor. It would be deemed almost fabulous to menticn the immense sum of money that was staked on this match. About this time. feeling the great imperfection in the construction of billiard tables. he determined to devote his energies to their perfection, and he at once returned to New York to consummate his intentions. In the summer of 1557, Mr. Phelan was challenged to play a mateh game by Mr. Ralph Benjamin. arival manufacturer, and first class player. The game acleeted by Benjamin was the “three ball.” French, 16 points up the best in 17— Phelan allowing Benjamin three points in each ame—for $1,000 aside. The match was played in Philadelphia on the evening of December 30,1857. Phelan won nine games out of eleven, and took the purse. Having obtained considerable reputation as ® billiard player, nearly a year since a match was made between Seereiter and Barney Chris- tal. of New York, a second-class player. The game was the * four-ball American carrom,” oue thousand points up, for $500 aside. It was finally arranged to ‘aa a home-and-homo match. and in both of these Seereiter was suc- cessful. Flushed with his success, Hans deter- miued to aecept the challenge of the champion Phelan; and. without avowing his intentions, he returned to Detroit and commenced a regu- Jar course of training, which has been contin- ued to the presentday. Finally, having arrived at what was considered a proper position, he commenced his efforts to raise money for the match, and it was at this period the rumors above mentioned first appeared in the newspa- yers 7 John Seereiter, better known as Dutch Hane, was born in # village of the province of / Jower department of the from asburgh, on the river Rhine, France He arrived. in company with his father, mother and mewhers of the family, in the United States in May, 1830. and located in Buffalo.

No testimony far the defence was offered nor any cross-examiuation of witnesses for Government, It was proved by the testiniony of Licut.

Townsend was a native of New- port, Rhode Island; that the condition of the vessel, when captured, was extremely filthy, and that the charts found in possession of the Captain bad marked upon them, im pencil, a continuous line from the eoast of Africa to the point of ber capture. 1,3" The corner stone of the contemplated Pea- body Institute, in Baltimore, was laid on Saturday in the presence of a number of the managing trus- tees. There was no display on the occasion, as it is the purpose of the Board to reserve a public cel- ebration for the grand inauguration of the Insti- tute, upon the completion of the building aud the organization of its various faculties. ‘Thefounda- tou having for some time been built up to the ground level. on Saturday the marble walls were begun by firmly imbedding a large block of that material, upon a level with the ground, at the northwest corner of the building. i" In New York, on Sunday, one of the coron- ers held an inquest tonehing the sudden death of an cklerly Englishman nained Joun ‘Thompson, who 3 few years ago, was largely engaged in the milk business iu Williamsburg, end amassed thereina competency. A variety of circumstances induced a belief that he came to his death from being struck across the temple with a hatchet by his wife—tue blade of the hatchet having severed ‘the temporal artery, A verdict waa rendered as- cribing bis death to violence atthe hands of his wife, and she was committed to prison. Mrs. Thompson is a native of Virginia. Both were ad- dicted to intoxication. Sa ea i The Ohio Legtslatare have passed a law making ita misdemeanor to carry a pistol, bowie knife. dirk, or any other concealed weapon, under the penalty of a fine not exceeding $200, and im- Prisonment not ethan thirty days for the first offence; and $500 fine and fuprisonment for three months, or both, at the discretion of the Court, for the second offence; and in pursuance of the law, the Mayor of Cincinnati Las.directed the police to arrest and bring before him all persons whom they shall find With concealed weapons.

UF The Georgia Citizen states that on Wednes- day evening, Dr. Fish, Mlle Piccolomini’s agent, was robbed of over 3600, at Brown's Motel, Ma- con. The robbery was traced with little George Thomas and Bernard Liddy, a young man recently in the employ of the Ullman troupe whom Dr. Fish had employed to enable them to return North.

Nearly all the first families were represented by both male and female members; the Mayor and several other members of the municipal government; several of the -/erzy. and others.
