The sword of the Destroyer is still suspended above us, and ever and anon nds and sweeps from our midst some of the noblest efour people. Allthat human effort—all that the self- mncrifi spirit of the few who remain with us, can ac- @omplish, has been done to turn aside the devastating yrorross ‘of the scourge which the Almighty in His wis. has inflicted upon us.

The Portsmouth Tvanscripjwhich was issued on Friday again, has the following review of his tleld of misfortune its issue four days before:— ‘The number of patients visited in town on Wednesday, yeached about five hundred, including new cases. Ou ‘PoowAy the deaths numbered thirteen. And on Wednes- dey cleven died. These data the writer has collected from the reports of the attending physicians, and an al- Jewance for those who failed to report. On Thursday the ‘wumber visited amounted to five hundred and fifty, in- qhuding eighty-one new cases. Tho deaths, as reported by authority, were thirteen in town and fourtecn at the ited States Naval Hospital, making a total of seven- teen. It is the opinion of the profession that the disease de assuming or has assumed a milder type. The statements just made exclude the cases under treat- ment at the U.S. Naval Hospital. We were there Sun- day last, and have been there daily, with come excep- tions, since. There has been a dimunition of cases sent there, and the deaths also have been leas during the week. ‘The number of our people there approaches nearly eighty. very attention is bestowed upon them, and Surgeon Mi- nor, a gentleman of ability and enlarged experience, with hia ‘talented assistants, Steele, Harrison and Walke, are imdefatigable in their care ,and ministrations t> those ‘under their charge. Gur indefatigable Mayor is yet down, but we trast will pase through the disease and be enabled in due time to re- enter upon his duties. He has been devoted to the service vequired of him, and has nobly co-operated in the chari- table work which demanda the co-operation of all of us who remain. Winchester Watts, Esq., and Dr. Maupin, are entirely weeovered. They dined at’ the residence of Mr. John G. Matton on Friday. Samuel A. Forbes is dead. Dr- Maupin, at the Horpital, is convalescent ; and Dr. Sehoolfield is occasionally seen upon our streets, but too ‘enfecbled yet to resume his professional duties. "We now have ampie medical attendance—the ‘Macedonian call” haying been nobly responded to by our friends auroad.

Animated by a true Christian spirit, the Right Rev. Biehop Potter, of Pennsylvania, has addressed the follow- Jog cireula: to the congregations of ‘the Protestant Epls- opal church, in the ay of Philadelphia, and we feel every confidence that it will be responded to ina manner ereditable to the hearts and sympathies of our citi- sene— Dean Brenmes—The sore pestilence which is now Sectating two of the most considerable towns in the State of Virginia, spares no rank or description of the in- Babitants. Its weight, however, falls necessarily with most fearfal severity upon the poor. Many of them can weither fiee from its attack, nor command the appliances: which, in the case of those more favored, often allay the Antenalty of disease, and atly increase the prospect of recovery. At the same time all the ordinary pursuits of setenty are |, and those who pe pene upon their daily labor for sup} are stripped of all means of pro- viding for their warts, Much has been alrealy done by the spontaneous contributions of the benevolent to meet this exigency, bnt more is nealed. The plague still advances with unrelenting tread, and our heari« ficken at the thought of the awful suffering and sorrow which must now darken many a late happy home. There fs every reason to ap) that stern mecossity and the fall rains will compel many, who are now absent, to ro- home from their temporary encampment in the ‘woods, near the infected cities, and thus add fuel to a disease which rarely abates before the month of Oc- poder. In his wonderful mercy and goodnens, God has thus far spared our city from « like visitation. Let us testify our capeede f remembering our afliicted brethren in this Bae cay of dire aocseelt}, ant lat ve do what we may by eur thank-offeri to soothe their distress.

I hereby recommend and affectionately ro yuest that on the morning of Sunday, the ninth day of September, in- stant, collections be made in each of our congregations for the relief of the sufferers in Norfolk and Portsmouth, and that the amounts offered be paid over immediately thereafter, to the committee appointed by the citizens of Philadelphia to receive such contributions. The citizens of New Haven have subscribed $1,025 for the relief of the sufferers at Norfolk and Portsmouth, and an ice company of that city has sent on four hundred tons of ice, which is valued at two thousand dollars, Governors of the Alms House. ‘The Board met at 4 P, M.—present, Governors A. Town- send, (in the chair) Draper, Smith, Tiemann, Duke, West, Dugro, and Taylor. The Governors were all punctually on the ground, with the exception of one or two of the recently nomi- nated candidates for office, of whom it was facetiously remarked by one of the Governors, (a Council coroora- tion in perspective,) that they were probably stopped in ‘Striker’s”” bay, a well known locality in the neighbor- hood of the Hall’ of Records, where ‘‘strikers”” spot the politicians, In due time the missing Governors turned up, wearing on their faces that profound look of resigna- 2 usual with politicians before election time. ‘The @ffice seekers were tenderly condoled by the other Go- vernors, who sympathised with, while envying them in their aftiction, the fuithful to supply all necessary bove all, that his Hol Bit taay descend new , if it th. AT THE WATERING PLACES, A communication was received from James C. Ruther- ford, Clerk of the Lunatic Asylum, notifying the Board that his leave of absence has been extended by the Com- mittee on that Institution. He explains the circum- stances under which the extension was granted, and adds:—TI write this to undeceive you, as I understand that Dr. Ranney has made a kind of half beige plaint of not being able to gat away, when the fact is, we hada perfect understanding on the matter, so much so that Iinformed him that if he should ehange his mind, and write or telegraph me, 1 would return at once. VENTILATION AND DRYING. Acommunication was received from H. Eldridge, the Warden on Randall’; Island, complaining that the drying department in the washhouse is very imperfect, calli the attention of the Board to the great tnporiance of having this department so that the children may at all times have dry and clean cloches, which he is sure will reduce the number in the hospital. The atten- tion of the Board is also called to the neeessity of venti- lating the buildings on that island, particularly the sleep- ing apartments occupled by the children, ‘The Warden is convinced that the bad air in those apartme.ts, caused by the large number occupying them, contributes to the prevailing diseases of the institution, especially sore eyes, and he is sure a better state of things ‘would mani: fest itself with better air, Gov. Siti remarked that while the arrangemests of the washi ooms had answered every purpose, those of the drying room had proved an entire failure. He offered tne following resolutions:— Resolved, That a building be erected for the purposes cf a boiler and drying room adjoining the wash house on Randall’s Island,” Also, to furnish a new boiler or boil- ers of sufficient size to heat the drying room, and supply steam for all the culinary purposes of the cook house. Resolved, That $2,500 be and are hereby appropriated for the above work and materials, Rerolved, That $500 be and are hereby appropriated to ventilate the dormitories in the nursery department on Randall's Island, Governor Draven opposed the resolutions relative to the drying room, for, he said, so far as his obgervation went, those attached to other institutions were also nearly useloes; clothes were generally dried in the open air. Governors TieMANN and STH explained that the failure was directly attributable to ‘he small size of the steam boiler, and consequent limited supply of steam, The resolutions were then ad »pted. SCHOOL HOUSE ON RANDALL'S ISLAND. The following was moved by Governor TiMaNy, and after some debute, adopted:— ° Resolved, ‘That the matter of the school house on Ran- dall’s Island be referred to the Committee on the Island, to confer with the school officers of the Twelfth ward in relation to the same, and report to the Board. TUE PENITENTIARY HOSPITAL, BLACKWELL'S ISLAND. The monthly report of this institution, for August, by the Resident Fhysieian, Dr. Wim. W. Banger, is a sugges- tive document, and we regret that we have not space to give it in extenso, ‘The number of patients under treat- ment during the month is stated as 489, namely: 100 males, and 389 females. Of these, 168 were admitted to the hospital during the month of August, and the statis- tics relating to these admissions show that 32 males and 99 females were under 30 years of age. There were 40 American born patients in the number, 29 of whom were natives of this State, the remainder belonging to Maine, New Hampshire, Khode Island, Maseachusetts, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Alabama and Georgia. Of 128 foreign- ers, Great Britain and her colonies contribute 117, Ireland alone having furnished 94 subjects. In this connection, another table shows that of these foreigners 34 have been less than 5 years in the United States, 41 have resided here between 5 and 10 years, 28 from 10 to 16 years, and xo on, ‘The education, social condition, habits, religion, &., of these persons are all exhibited; thus 19 (only) could “read and write well,” while 87 were but imperfectly educated, and €0 totally unedueated; 98 were single, 40 married, und 22 widowed; 18 were of temperate habits, 46 claimed to be ‘moderate drinkers,” 83 were confess- edly “intemperate,” while 19 owned to being “habitual drunkards.”” Of ‘these “‘intemperates’’ and “habitwal drunkards,”’ we find that 69 of the former and 13 of the latter were under 30 years of age. There were admitted of Protestants, 21 natives and 19 foreigners; of Roman Catholics, 11 natives and 86 foreigners, and of those who did not profess any creed whatever, 8 natives and 20 foreigners, A list of the occupations of the patlents rior to their udmission, includes bookkeepers, carpen- fers, shoe makers, tailors, teachers, dressmakers, seam- strenwf’, “ervants, and others too numerous to tran- ecribe. During the month 171 were discharged, 101 of w'y a ‘were cured, and 59 relieved; but by far the most plas ing feature in the results of the month, {4 the very small rates of mortality, death baving occurred in only 4 cases, an average of 1 for every 122 patients treated. ‘These facts alone speak mort eloquently in favor of the hospital, and clearly demonstvate that neither talent nor attention has been overlooked in its medic#l arrange- ments, The prominence which is given to the statistics of this institution, by the regular presentation of these valuable reports of Dr. Sanger’s, is a most pleasing sign of the Progressive movement: ‘of that principle which regards the outeatt and suffering poor as fit objects for other treitment than is accorded to criminals, and we hail sul documents with pleasure, because anything which dra'vs the attention of the public to the matter must eventually aid the cause of humanity.

Last Moments of the Murdered Boy—Removal of the Mur- derer to Prison—His Endeavour to Implicate Others— Patrick Fitzgerald Exonerated, Our usually peaceful town was thrown intoa state of terrible excitement {his morning, by the perpetration of a deed which strikes a chill of horror to every heart. A boy by the name of John Fitzgerald, with td delibera- tion of a fiend, put an end to the lives of his father, mo- ther and youngest brother. The family had retired to rest, with the exception of the criminal, who had been quarrelling with his parents, and bad refused to yo to bed, but lay down on the floor in the kitchen. ‘Towards morning he arose and took an axe, went into the room of his parents, where at one blow he nearly severed the head of his father from his body. He then attacked his mother, who raised her head, and after four or five blows, any one of which seemed enough to accomplish his object, he succeeded in killing her. He then went into the next room, where his brother James, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, lay sleeping onalounge. He struck the boy on the face with the making a fearful gash, and breaking his jaw bone; with another effort he cut higher up into the cheek of the child. By this time the remaining brother, Patrick Fitzgerald, was awaket he supposes by the falling of James from the loung. hastened out of the recess in whieh he slept, (for in the same room), and waa met by John, who pointed to his parents’ chamber and said, © There is a man in there.” Patrick saw his brother James on the floor, weltering in his blood, and wild with fright he flew to the door and made kis’ escape, and alarined the neighbors. James O'Neal was the first man to reach the scene of the hor- rid_butchery. ‘The boy was still living. He had straggled around the room, had been to his mother’s bedside, and seemed to recognise O'Neal, and cried “Take me away; take me to your house.” ‘He literally bled to death. “The neigh- bors gathered in, and, cverwhelmed with horror, they gazed on the fearful spectacle—the now senseless’ and dying boy, with his clothes completely drenched in blood, while the same fearful color dyed the floor over which he had walked in his agony, and the dead parenta in each others arma in that bed now soaked in their own gore. And there stood the murderer—a fine looking boy of between enteen and eighteen years.

August 31, 1855, An examination was held this evening before Justice Tilford. During the day John had mentioned his brother Patrick as an accomplice, but afterwards denied his hav ing any knowledge of the intent. To-night he refused to fnswer any questions, and the affair was adjourned till to-morrow at two o'clock.

Mr. Perry, of Fleet street Mr. Inskip, of the Centenary church; Rev. of Withers street church, and the Pastor, Key. Mr. Hoyt. The exercises were commenced with singing by the choir, after whieh a portion of the soripturee’ was read hy the Rev. Mr. Sarles, which was followed with a prayer by the Rev, Mr. Gooderson. Rev. Mr. Reed then delivered an able ani appropriate address, when the Rev. Mr. Inskip appealed to the audience for a liberal collection, stating thit the Trustees wanted $2,000 which would wipe out the debt when the edifice was completed. The appeai was respond- ed to ina creditable manner. While the «peaker was so- Neiting contributions, a little gicl, a member of the Sab- bath school, presented him a box containing $50 in be- half of the school, as their mite towards erecting the building. ‘the key. Mr. Perry then proceeded to lay the corner stone and deposited in it the following articles: A Bible, a Hymn book, & copy of the discipline, a list of the names of the contributors to the church tund, and the names of the members, names of the pastor and trastees, huilding committee, and acopy of the different daily pa- pers published in New York and Brooklyn.

MONEY MARKET. Tuespay, September 4—6 P. M. The tendency of quotations at the opexing this morning was downward, and before the close lower prices ruled. The only stock on the list in which there was any improvement was Erie, and the ad- vance in that was a small fraction. Reading, Nica- ragua and Cumberland sold freely at a slight de- cline. Pennsylvania Coal was in more active de. mand. Western railroad stocks’ were generally neglected—those having real merit not offering and those of a fancy character finding no buyers The cobweb railroads of Ohio are daily losing caste in this market, and we look for a depreciation in their, stocks similar to that which has overtaken most of the New England railroads, particularly those of Vermont. At one time the railroads oi Massachusetts were covsidered among the best in- vestments of the day. Now they are among the worst. Western railroad stocks have the same difli- culties to contend with that ruined the Eastern rouds—competition—and the result will be the same. At the first board to-day, Albany Exten- sion Bonds declined 1 per cent; Erie Bonds, 1275, 4; Minois Central Bonds, }; Canton Company, }; Nicaragua Transit, 3; Cumberland Coal, 4; Cleve- land and Toledo, 4; Michigan Central, j; Readiag Railroad 3. Erie Railroad advanced } per cent. The upward movement in Erie is attributed to the increased business derived from the Hornellsville road. It is estimated that the gross earnings this month will exceed six hundred thousand dollars— a larger sum than ever before earned. There is a strong movement in the stock, and it may be par- tially successful. Alter the adjournment of the board the following sales of stocks were made at auction by Simeon Draper:— 15 shares Chatham Bank,... 19 do. St. 123 do, 200 do. ny Proprietors City of Brunswick stock 90 do, Galena and Chicago Railroad 100 do. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western R. 500 do. Chio and Mississippi R.R. (E. division), 113g At the second board the market, with the excep- tion of Erie, was lower. The transactions in Erie were large, at an advance of 4 percent. Reading felloff 4. The steamship Pacific, from this port for Liverpool, to-morrow—Wednesday—will take out about half a million of dollars, and the Hermann, from this port for Southampton and Bremen, on Saturday, will take out about eight hundred thou- eand dollars. ‘The total shipment for the week will not vary much from one and a quarter millions of dol- lars. The Sub-Treasury will absorb during the week upwards of half a million; so that at the time of the next bank statement, nearly two millions of dollars will have been taken out of this market. The banks must, therefore, make a very poor show of specie next week. The amount reported on hand on Satur- day iast, the Ist inst.. was smaller than any previous period during the present year. The transactions at the Assistant Treasurer's office to-day, were as follows:— laid on Treasury Account. + $19,820 47 Received “ 187,760 99 Balance is 5,477,748 9: taid for Aseny office. + 807,239 27 Taid on disbursing checks + 61581 60 The warrants entered at the Treasury Depart- ment, Washington, on the Ist inst., were as fol- lows:— For the Treasury department For the Interior department, For the Customs........

We are glad to see that the New York Central Railroad Company have no intention of rescinding the resolutions recently passed regulating the trans- fer of stock. The directors adopted the new system to guard the interests of stockholders, and we do not see why they should consult the convenience of the Board of Brokers in this matter, more thau the protection of the public from such frauds as the past year or two have developed. The company is bound to protect its stockholders and the public first, at all hazards, and the directors have nothing to do, in their official capacity, with the Board of Brokers. * The value of imports and exports of this port dur- ing the month of August this year, compared with last, was as follow: Commence o Tun 1’ er or New York—VAvce or Imponrs ay Exrorns.

The posi_ his statements; but he exhibits so much bitterness, 80 much spite, such & narrow mind throughout the controversy, that even that importance is destroyed. In looking over the books of the bank from 1840 to 1844, this individual, who is so great at figures, has discovered that there was no credit of discounts re- ceived on drafts, and he at once jumpy at the con- clusion that Mr. Edmonds must have privately dis- posed of the amount received. Had he not been so blinded by his prejudices, he could easily have learned that during the period named it was not the custom of the Bank to receive drafts as cash which were at any discount; consequently there could have been no discount to credit. It is also well known by those whose memory extends further back than Burk’s, that Mr. Edmonds was taken sick in June, 1840, and was in the Wank very little for several months. In November that year he went to Europe, and did not return until August, 1841, Mr. C. Stebbins, of Cazenovia, acting as cashier in the meantime. From January first until about the mid- dle of April, 1842, Mr. Edmonds was in Albany, ob- taining an slteration in the charter of the bank, per. mitting a reduction of its capital. During that time Mr. Knapp was in full charge. It is barely possible that Burk knew nothing of these facts when he set about bunting up items to strengthen his case, and little knew who he was implicating in his charges: ‘There was a very interesting story published in a recent number of Dickens’ Household Words, called tbe ‘Toady Tree,” which we recommend to Mr. Fark for carefal perusal. We leave him to apply the moral. This individual is, we hear, a candidate for the vacant cashiership of the Mechanics’ Bank, an institution which holds the funds of the city treasury, and has enjoyed a high degree of credit under the ma@magement of Mr. Edmonds. It is to be hoped that so long, at all events, as it holds the city’s funds, it will continue to be well managed, and it is therefore necessary that Mr. Edmonds’ place should be filled Ue man in whom the com- munity at large have the highest confidence. The directors of that bank have a duty to perform to the public as well as to their stockholders, and we trust they will exercise their best judgment in the selec- tion of its officers. ‘ Stock Exchange.
