the labors of the day. The wagons, some twenty in umber, are drawn up in front of the hi fron ln and the poor old animals, which have something the ap- pearance of horses, are turued onthe vacant lots to | aps until the next morning. The stock for the next jay isalready laid in. The drivers spend the afternoon” in playing marbles, pitching quoits, or wrestling, and at oe take a jolly spree. As soouas the day dawns, the | opimals are harnessed, the fish put in the wagons, and | Off they go. Those who have the lo: it distamce totra- Vel have the choice of the cripples.and of course take the fleetest travellers, that they may be first on the ground (ofaction. The stock, when t me start, is arranged in & kind of order that the best tion top. They ‘have an assortment of cod, porgies, flounders, blue fish, and last, though not least,evls. The last name 8 all been skinned probably several days befor dt Present a very blueish appearance. Most of persons who purchase them are not re that if the skin had been allowed to remain on them until that time, that it would be impossible, in many cares, to get it off, so long have they been from their native element. Those who deal with them sre almost ignorant of the sups- tiority of the flavor of a fresh fish, or have been s0 used ‘to the kind et that the taste has become vitiated and they preferthem. The competition betweea the \different establishments is very great, and ono will “ sacrifice,” as they term it, rather than the other shall \eell. There are a few independent wagons, which may jalways be known by their carrying a pail of water to ‘wash their fish, something the others never think of. "These, of course, do not remain long in the business, for, from the superiority of the article they sell, they ara only calculated to injure the trade, and are bought off as quickly as possible. Another class deal exclusively lim vegetables, which are generally the refuse of the market. They will take one or two of the best of a kind, and cry out as they go, “ere they go, [nice fresh beets, parsnips,”’ or whatever they!may have, and though the price in the regniar markets b: ever so small, they are sure to sell for price. Some of these carry fruits, but th json having passed there is very little hi through the streets, gave now and then a few half rot- ‘ten apples, or knotty and defective quinces. Like the ‘fish. they have their regular routes, and rarely ‘come in contaat with each other They consider themselves of a more respectable mp. \d, thoug! they should meet with one of the first-named class, rarely take any notice of them, except by sneering. ‘Their o ints are most bitter against the groc ly keep every article in tl and, as @ consequence, very materially injure the business. They have entered into a compact, and will, under no circumstances. patronize a grocer who opposesthem in business. heir articles, lixe the first Ramed, are not alw: as fresh as they might be, which renders them nauseous and fasipid, and though they mey be dry and withered, are declared fresh, and of the best quality. By watching the markets closely, they are enabled to have every thing in season. Some of these wagons are driven by femalus, who are much more lavish in their recommendations of their stock les, and are, consequently, more succers- . Thereis one wagon, drawn by two horses, which, from the inscriptions on its sides, professes to be « general family market. This contains almost every rariety of edibles, raw meats, from a tarkey and rum-head oabbage, to # jug of small beer. ‘rom the appearance of the horses, it is to e supposed the ‘market’? does a very fair business. it belongs to a colored man, and his range is the whole xtent of the city. Some time since meat carts we ery common in the streets. but the regular butcher remonstrated against it, the corpora'ion, taking into consideration the fact that they payed a regular icense for their privileges, at once passed a resolution ote all further operations in that line. Some, jowever. still persist, and occasionally appear in the streets with the carcass of a sheep and a few pieces of poor beef, They are careful not to approach a shop or market where meat is sold, lest they should fall into the clutckes of the law. A new business in thi 8 nas of late been started Every morning) men and women, with hand carts, may be seen gathering coal ashes. To most persons, the object of this movement sunknown, and they cannot conceive how they can oe turned to profit, and [those who have taken up the dusiness are very well satisfied that they shall remain \n ignorance. In this business there is a firm, and that firm varlipied hands to gather the ashes. After sbey have gathered as many as they ean, the whole is taken to a vacant lot up town, where are two or three others with sieves. The ashes are all run through these sieves, which vary in size, leaving three sizes of ainders. These cinders are put inte barrels, and retailed to the poor class of persons in the neighbor- ood, at afew cents per peck. In consequence of the many engaged in gathering the ashes, quite a lar; quantity of cinders are obtained, and though the busi- ness may roem insignificant, it certainly pa; profit, or those engaged in it’ would soon ce sate. The last which will here be spoken of isa gar- age monger In the city is an old woman, who is ossested of a little donkey and a cart to suit its size, Every reales goes around her neighborhood, and svery thing which can be at all digested by a pig is lsicked up. Ifthe touris long the donkey is taken ‘rom the traces, and feeds from the general stock. When she has obtained a lcad she takes up her travel the suburbs of the city, and disposes of it to tho: ho are feeding hogs. Sometimes she is enabled to sather two loads in one day, and in that case does very profitable business. The donkey seems to have timost as much sagacity as the owner. for when it gets fred ef hungry it refuses to go until it is fed and takes wrest. The whole branches herein desoribed seem of very trifling character, but they help to make up the ;reat business of the city, and should they cease, to engaged, several of the most important branches bf intermal trade, which are the avenues to ultimate wealth, would be dried up, and cause a general sorrow smong ite followers.

Loox ovt vor Sprvriovs Brnis.—There have been put in circulation altered notes, all made from the same plate—three dollar bills on the kill Bank, Vermont; Adams Bank, Massachuse the City Bank, New Haven. The plates bear no re- semblance to the original and may easily be detested. The alterations in the piute are only auch as the lo- cality and signature require. These bills are largely circulated in the community, and hence the impor- tance of greater caution. A new three dollar coun- terfeit has also been detected on the Bank of White- hall.

The second of Dr.Baird’s course of lectures on Europs was delivered Friday night, in the Presbyterian church infBroome street. He continued the subject of Russia and Poland, as follows:— Russia is what might be ecnsidered a very healthy country, especially around the city of Moscow. The northern sections of the empire, and even about St. Petersburg, are more unhealthy. ‘There have been eases where persons have lived to the age of a hundred and forty years; yet it would mot be proper to estimate the general health of the country by these few casas of longevity. The northern parte, being level aed marshy, cannot, of course, be so healthy; and on the borders of the Black Sea, the common intermittent fever prevails, —such as the Emperor Alexander died of, in 1825. The first point to treat of to-night. is the manufac- tures of Russia; and the Bmpatos has done a great deal to introduce cotton and iron manufactories into the country. The men of wealth will not engage in there manufactures, the consequence of which is, the government has to establish and keep up these manu- factories. Many of the articles are coar: gene- by . Russia abounds in ny value- ble minerals; and, indeed, platina is only found in 5 that country. They have their great faira, which are a‘tended by the inhabitants of the countries sround. They come even from China, and from the north- western portion of the continent of North America. Many of them deal largely in fars. These faire are said to produce an amount equal to about $75 000,000 of our money. There are seven important and navigable rivers in Russia, upon whioh ny steamboats; and the country is more adapted to railroads than almost any other; and should the Em- peror prosecute his work of improvement. as the French say, Russia will, in a few years, be a nut-work of rail- roads. The ecmmerce of Russia is very limited; for, until since the time of Peter the Great, Archangel ‘was the only port. At that time Moscow was a very small city, and St. Petersburg was not in existence.— The next thing which claims attention is the educa- tion of Russia. There is very little education among that people, though there is considerable pains now taken to educate the people. A large portion of the inhabitants are slaves, of whom twenty millions belong to the Emperor, and one and a balf million more belopg to the members of his family. Thero are now several fine uuiversities in Russia, the most important of which are at St. Petersburg and Moscow, at which are several hundred students, and man: eminent professors. At Warsaw there is « fine semi- mary, but the Poles generally go to some other place to finish their studies, and they become men of emij nence. The Poles have had maay eminent men, the more educated of whom ae the oon bid well as Ft h languages. e religion of Russia vi 5 pm Greek church is the national church, which has its archbishops and bishop: id before they can officiate as parish priests, the: be married men, unlike the tenets of the Rom lie church. They once were governed by the p of Constanople ; but now the church is governed by a synodof about three hundred men. They also differ from Roman Catholic church in their ideas of purgatory. They do not think haif so much of purgatory. They administer the bread and wine even to chiidren of not more than three or four months. This latter is the reeult of superstition, of which thore is a great cv There are Roman Catholice, the most of whom are in Poland. There are also about three millions of Pro- testants in Russia, mostly in Finland and the Baltic vinces, There are about two millions of Jews, and gans,and Mahomedansand Armenians. There ia almost every kind of of religion in Russia, though the government will not permit the members of the Greek church to be drawn off, while they are willing aod on- courage the conversion of others to the national church. The government is willing for the Protes- tants to convert the Jews and Mahomedans. but they must become members of the national church, 1 have met with many eminently pious Protes- tants and Catholics im Russia. With regard) tojthe militery attainments of that country, they have now many war ships, among which are several steamers.— They have several naval schools. and though they have but few ports, their navy is always on the in. crease. The army is entirely different. Ther are about one million of men in that departmont.— re_recruited by conscription, from among the serfs, The term of slavery is now about ‘teen years, after which, the; no longer com- pelled to de military duty.

There are several military schools in Russia, where are several hundred students, The most prominent is at St. Petersburg, where are one thousand students. It was a pvouliarly interesting sight to see the whole number march to their dinner in a body. ty chant as bag dy the room, and return thanks in the same way. The higher officers in the Russian army are many of them Ger- mans, and there was one English admiral in their navy. ‘The best officer they have, is said to be the commander at Odessa, a man eighty years old, who will, even now, wrap his military cloak about him and go vhrough a campaign in the middle of the winter. He is porsessed of more energy than most of the young men.

The city is about sixteen miles in circumference and five miles across, In the centre of the city is a large church, whieh is the Westminster Abbay of Russia.

Taylor Celebrations—The Chester County Bank Robbery Case—-Serrous Accident— Theatrical and Musical. The projected dispiay of fire works in honor of ‘Taylor’s election, has been postponed until next week, when it will take place at Penn Square.— The Rough and Ready men have fixed upon next Friday, the birth-day of General Taylor, as an appropriate day for their demonstration, and a national salute will be fired by them, consisting Mrs. | of one gun for every electoral vote received by their candidate. In the Court of Quarter Sessions this morning Judge King delivered an opinion favorable to granting a new trial in the case of Pence, Pratt, and McGowan, recently convicted of a conspira- | cy to pass the stolen notes of the Chester County Bank. The ground taken by the President Judge was that evidence offered by the counsel for the defendants had been improperly excluded. Jud; | Parsons gave a separate opinion, in which he clared that the defendants were improperly in- dicted; that the indictment should have been for receiving stolen money, instead of a conspiracy to pat the stolen money into circulation. Peter Torbert, an apprentice to a brick-layer, on Thursday evening, while climbling over a fence with an open knife in his hand, slipped, and _ the blade entered his left side near the heart, inflict- ing a wound that will probably prove fatal: The last entertainment of Collins takes place this evening at the Musical Fund Hall; on Mon- day evening, the German Mannerchor perform the new oratorio of the nein at the same place; on Tuesday, young Ikelheimer gives a concert, and Madam Bishop has one on Wednesday. These, with the addition of two theatres present- ing the rival claims of Forrest and Macrea y, Gen. Welch’s circus, the Panorama of the Mississippi, the grou» of Hero and Leander, several other m1- nor exhibitions, and a few balls, will give our good citizens an excellent chance to amuse them- selves during the coming week, according to their fancy. S The Philadelphia Rangers, er the remnants of that goodly company, who returned from Mexico, give aball at the Musical Fund on the 8th of De- cember. The Philadelphia Brass Band have cho- sen the 27th of the present month for their annual ball. The German anniversary ball is fixed for the 13th of December. Haxrispura, Nov. 16, 1848.

The Cass party has been pounded into a mummy tm the Keystone, and it will take a college of democratic doctors, with Dr. Seiler at their head, to fix up the parts for an- other contest. As I hinted to you, a very pretty faction fight was brewing among the victors, after 260; | the State election, on the United States Senator question. ‘The aun of the high bottomed whigs appears to be to defeat James Cooper, who appears to be backed by the bone and sinew of the party in the State. It 1s thought the upper crusts have fail- ed to enlistGovernor Johnston in the crusade, who, no doubt, wisely concludes that as Mr. Cooper, could not be in his way for re-election for Gover- nor, if chosen to the Senate, and might, tf he is not chosen, that his best policy is to permit, if not actively agsist, Mr. C.’s friends to muke him the Senator. | ‘The opposition, however, is assuming new front: Andrew Stewart refuses to be a candidate, prefe: ring to be Secretary of the Treasury under the re- gimé of Old Zack, for which he will be pushed by a majority oi the Pennsylvania delegation in Con- gress. ThomasM.T. McKennan and Walter For- ward, the other two Western men named,will back out, the Senator being this,time conceded to the east, the west having already one Senator, ‘the immortal Sturgeon,” two out of the three Canal Commissioners, and the Governor. Of the eastern men named, Alexander Ramsay will not be in Cooper’s way; ard probably Josial Randall occupies a similar position. This reduces the, real candidates down to Cooper and Stevens.

Andy is one of ’em in an undercur- rent fight, and will be a troublesome customer to beat; he has lots of scars and bruises, i. e. unpaid disbursements for the party, to back his claim,, besides having banged up $300 teams and vehicles to match, in by gone days, to bring out the sleepy heads on election day. He will make, as the boys say, a desperate rush, and may succeed. The next customer is Colonel John Roberts, ex-de- mocratic native, a very worthy gentleman, who. will cite the native influence as a balance of power yote, as being all powerful in electing Wm. F. Johnston governor, and without which, the elec~ toral vote of the State would nave undoubtedly one for Cass. The native party, absorbed as it as been in the two last battles, has been all powerful; and as much as the whigs of the ultra stripe would like te monopolize all the pickings and choice bits of government patronage, they fear this new element in their camp as a rival of no mean pretensions, and feel that to a large extent, they will demand the lion’s share at the public crib, to deny sight of which would lead to an open rupture, which would at once precipitate them into a hopeless minority. The Colonel will, therefore, have some bottom on which to base his claim. Thave also heard the names of Wm. P. Beatty, John Buffington, and James Peacock, the last named of whom was unceremoniously turned out by Mr. Polk, 1n consequence of signing a call, and acting as one of the efficers of the democratic Taylor meeting to nominate Genreal Taylor to the Presidency. If Mr. Peacock wants any a8 tation, it 1s my humble opinion he could la claim to the Philadelphia office with a prestige of Philadelphia. — this esi le pert of the meat, situated in the most de- | erty, having been much enlarged and improv. | attention, JONES, DENTIST, 7 BLEECKER STRERT, NEAR Rowery, inserts whole and ha" h warrants them thirty pere ter y Dr. J's discovery.

The causes ot this decline are variously stated. The mhabitants of this city opposed annexation from the first, foreseeing that is political importance must be diminished, and that the plans of the United States government im establishing miltary roids, poste, &c., would ne= cessartly advance other towns and districts, to the neglect, if not direct. prejudice, of Galveston. ‘Their predictions have been tulfilled.
