Bxth that and the other ramor which bad preceded it, that the decision would be rendered to day, were premature. One of the Jidges stated on Sunday that the decision could not be given this week at all, and, ‘mdeed, tha’ a consuliation bad not as yet been had by @ecourt. Bettiog, however, was very rifo allover the city, and large suma with every fort of adds were posted om either side, Anticipa ion is on tiptoe for the result, ag SB oonclusion anda certainty is much desired by all par tea, so that théy may shape their courre ina final man- ner. The statement that six of the Judges of the Court of Appeals had made up their decisions to support the Police Bill was put ih active circulation by the Police Oo mmission- ersfin person yesterday afternoon, with a view of forestalling the maiter and excitiog further disturbance in the municipal ranks. The game ‘ell through, however, Mike other litle tricks of the same parties, of a more lexus mischievous tendency, heretofore. TRE MAYOR'S CONTEMPT CASE, ‘The order to show cause in the case of the Mayor’s con- tempt case is returnable this morning, before Judge Hott- mas, in the Superior Court. This order was obtained pon the affidavit of Coroner Perry, in the matter of the ab. struction to his service of the civil process for the Con- over ejection. As in the matter of the decision of the ‘Dourt of Appeals, the action in this matior has been at- tempted to be forestalied, and the entire entire matter so distorted as to give an impression of the most erroneous character.

Sprague, Silas Sherwood. A Parisian Celebrity in Town. All the world bas heard of the wanderings and journey- ings of Madame Ida Pfeiffer, of the similar romance of Lady Hester Stanhope, of the philanthrophic career of Miss Nightingale, and of many other female cole- brities. One of the women of the age, who are, as it were, living types and embediments of our wonderful epoch—exemplications of that energy, activity and un- céasing restlessness in the pursuit of novelty and know- \edge—is now, we learn, among us. This lady is none other than the famous Madame Giovanni, from Paris, whose career, for the last few years, forms » perfect Homeric Odyssey. Thespirity' 1698 seems indeed to genius of Homer distinguishesher yie-s4g" _ Y-rrations, We remembeg perusing, at Paris, some’ @ reac, witn snfinite pleasure, the lively sketches of Madame Giovanni, drawn up from her manuscript by the celebrated Dumas; and little did we ever expect at that time to see the lady herself, in person, in our great city of New York, whose scquaintance we bad already made, in mind, in the lesser city of Paris. Madame Giovanni, like Homer's wandering hero, his visited the remotest and stadied the manners of comparatively unknown Her accounts of the scenes she witnessed are far more interestiog than the best concocted romance we ever read. The following may give an idea of her amusing and lively manner of narration. The scene is Auckland, in New Zealand, and the dramatis persona are the cannibal New Zealanders:— One day, having been led by curiosity to visit the mar- ket, and in consequence of the heat hat sutlered her sbaw! to slip from her shoulders, Madame Giovanni meola nd with apariting eyer aad Zascaming niles tok my arm between bis t ind and foretiager, while be distinctly ps per tapeener grey word = sp ‘bation.

Perceiv- ing my bearers —— heartily at the compliment which bad been paid me, inquired the meaning of the word “ Very good,’ waa the on how can they tell ‘whether I am good or other- wiser collar apd not ; dalmost the derstand ance pleases him "’ “Not exactly that either—the fellow wishes to imply that yo. are young, plamp, and tender—in a word, just fit to be eaten!” “T must own that a cold shiver seized me from head to foot, anc! that I no longer sought to prolong this Dagardous promenade among the cannibal Maoris.’’ Madame Giovanni is singularly successful {n her descrip. tions of women and female society wherever she has tra- velled. Her adventures in Culifornia, where she accom- panied her husband through tying scenes and inoonceiv- adie diMoulties, may, without exaggeration, be said to be thrilling. A more lively writer of travels aud narrator of adeenturea we never met with. The journal is absolutely farcipating. Nobing can be more seductive than her de- torlption of the island of Taiti, and of ite women in par- ticular, This a perfect island of Calypso; the French officers, however, who form the chief eociety of the island, are a litt’e Jess continent than Telemachus. Mme. Glovan- ni ls bo ordinary perton; sbe isa lady of taste, tact and talent, and has been im the babit of moving among the bigher circles of European society. Among the many dis- tinguished names of her correspondents we might mention Lord Cowley, the Princess Mathilde, with a boat of literary celebrities, among all of whom the peculiar talent and ro- markable geniue of this lady, as atravelier, and moat de. ightful narrator of travels, is highly esteemed and de- tervedly admired. We regret that the urgent pressure of political incidents debars us at prevent from devoting more space to the journal and history of thie enterprizing tra- veller and amiable lady.

Mite Logan played ‘Evadne” to large sudiesces for three nights, and inst night she assuneed the réle of Julia, in the “Hunchback,” to hy far the largest and raost brilliant house of the season.

In many respects this is 2 better part for Miss Logan io play than Evadne.

Miss Logan was the cbarm of ber acting ia her case—she Glia the character withont effort; there is vo straining for points, yet none are mite; the climsxes come naturally; there is no im- parsion of effort or desire to take the ecdience by storm; tp fact, {t i8 a perfoct pictare, in which the contrasts are distinctly marked but delicately shaded and the colors richiy blended.

PAWNBROKING IN NEW YORK. The pawabroker seems to be a necoseity in every com- munity, especially wherever trade is carried on; and as largo numbers of our feliow citizens look upon the sign of the three balls as their unfailing roxource in hard times, shouid seek to render tho inatitusion = benetis to tbat class for whom it war intended. Pawnbroking originated in Italy, a¢ a temporary convenience, but it # read to other countries, and has how become a pubiie necewity, becanse it bas proved a general convenience. Society, to ail intents and purposes, ts divided into two claases—rich and poor, A man tn the formor class easily obtaine creditfrom bia peers; but the poor man finds his. friends and companions ip a similar situationto himself, and unable to aflord bim Ghat amsistance which he requirgs, would be ridiculous to suppore that individuals 40 altaated: would prefer want, perbaps starvation, to atempting relies! by offering bis ferniture, clothing, &c., for sale, or as seou- rity for a loan. In large towas—our own city not except ed— poverty and want are too ciosely connected with the humbler walks of life to diepense with this ready mode of obtaining immediate nanistance, and the question ia, how con suck aseistance be readiest obtained, aud bow of the greatest beneiit to thore seeking it, Notwithstanding the experience of many years and ooan- tries, we frequently meet individuala who question the oti- ty of pawnbrokipg; and not content with ignoring tts spirit and design, proclaim \t destructive to the general good, un- der pretence that it excites what they are pleased to cal} the improvidence of the masses, In order to show upsuch manifest error, we have but to examine, one by one, he objections. These individuals assert thet pawnbroking ie not even useful; we maintain on the contrary that itis a necessity. To justify our position we merely have to ex- amine the returns of the mont de piété of Paris, which fur- nich us sufficient data to reply satisfactorily to the objec. tors, In 1858 the sum of $5,764,173 was loaned on 1,568,000 articles, In one thousand Joana, the various classes of the community were represented in the Soliowing proportion:— Tradeemen, manufacturers and atorekeepers.’ Householders and proprietors of real estate Professional men... ciety were assisted as follows:— ‘Tradesmen, manvfacturers and storekcepers, Householders and proprietors of real estate. .
