Prepayment will be invariably re ««nirp'i, ————— thc great labor movement. Among the many subject .which now en gage the attention of the public mind of this country, not the least interesting is that of ilie eight hour system of daily labor by arte saus mechanics, and laborers. In the I nited States and Great Britain the labor element is treated with that consideration which the vast political influence it can exeit de mands ; and lor several months past the im position, which basso long be n coni puls u y of bearing the toil and heat of the day for elev en hours has been'growing so irksome to those who endure of this alleged wrong, a pow-and erful effort has been made to induce capital ists to consent to a modification of the rules, so as to reduce the time to eight hours. In conformity with this plan a general conven tion of the trades assemblies throughout this country is proposed to be held this fall, to secure the success of this and other measures effecting the wotking classes. The general interest felt in this subject, more especially in the Northern and Western States, will probably result in a very important gather ing. The working men's Union in the city of New York are taking the lead in this matter, and propose two main topics to be discussed by the convention, viz: the eight lioui question and the laws of apprenticeship Steps are to be taken to establish thc first and to reform the second, and the wages question, it is stated, will come up incident ally, since it is generarly admitted that an established reduction of the hours will be fol lowed for a time at least, by a proportionate reduction in the rates of wages • Several State and National Trade's Con ventions have been held already Within a month the German societies of Cincinat'i have held their convention, and passed reso tions in favor of the adoption, by “moral and legislative action,” of the eight hour system; and this meeting was considered of much importance, as it was understood to fully commit all the working Germans of the West and South to the movement. Nearly all the trades were represented in the recent trades assembly picnic at Chicago, and the measure was enthusiastically approved. The leading advocates of the desired changes propose to continue the agitation of the subject hntil their efforts are crowned with success, not by the exercise of physi cal power, but by systematiziug mental de mands, —by endeavoring to convince, not to compel by violent agitation, or improper ap peals to passion and prejudice. By the adoption of such a line of policy they are confident of ultimate success. A Philadelphia paper, which claims to be the organ of the classes interested, says, “the principles advocated are founded upon the immutable laws of right, and though crushed to earth will rise again. That by a proper, judiciouß, and temperate action, all just de mands will be complied with, and the life of the laborer rendered a third more happy than before. The large class interested have got the power ; they hold the bolts of lightn ing, and should not be afraid to use them, but use them wisely.” We have not, as yet, seen any action in either of the Southern Atlantic and Gulf States, responsive to the movements we have noticed, which is owing, no doubt, to the present unsettled condition of affairs. It is reasonable to suppose, however, that the im portant measure will not be wholly ignored by the mechanics and laborers of the South. LETTER FROM NEW MRK. [Prom our regular Correspondent of the Herald.l New York, Aug. 30, 1865. The Feeble Attempt of the Hub to reach up as high on the fence of plunder as this long-armed, grasping and over-reaching Metropolis lias received its merited sarcastic and sardonic laugh as a re ward for its almost fruitless ende&v or. It some of the peculatively inclined Athenians covet distinction, they must apprentice themselves out in Wall, Broad or Beaver streets—State street, with its honest old clock-face gazing down on it, and its solidly severe granite staring heavily on its curbstones, is not the place for mammoth investments. The an nouncement of a Boston dedication of only sixty-four thousand dollars only provoked a smile of derision upon the hardened and cal lous countenances of our bulls and bear?, and the exclamation made in the Gold Room, during the pandemonium-like operations there, of “Bully for the Hub !” was received silently, more in sorrow than in anger. Messieurs ye maiumon-worshippiug Athen ians—don’t deal hard with that sixty-four thousand dollar defaulter—rather thank Heaven he didn't “pitch in" deeper and more successfully emulate Ketcbum! Ptith Short Coke. The peach reason being just now at its Mnitb, our best managed restaurants are re plhtg their patrons with that most delicious diih known ms Teach Short Cake. Some of these gaa’.rotioinical temples “gel the thiug up" moat tastefully, I must say. The pastry, roust, of course, be faultless and tie peaches fully ripe and luscious, and then the cream poured upon the whole when served up should be rich and sweet. If there is any word signilyiug a reach beyond luxury, it should be applied to Peach Short Cake. As popular as Strawberry Short Cake is—and as deservedly so, as it is—Peach Short Cake, certainly surpasses it. In proof of this it is only necessary to quote the remaiks of one of the waiters in response to an inquiry, “Is it fit to eat ?” “ Dunno," says the darkey with a grin, “ Dunno, sir, but deres bery large orders for it." Itnbibnlott* Fluids in this lorm just now seem to make a goodly portion of the essential of life. Indeed, not withstanding the recent Temperance Con vention, liquors of all kiuds seem to be more in vogue than ever It does not appear to make any material difference to three-quar ters of our drinking population, what kind of liquor they "hiss," but certainly they ‘hiss’ incredible amounts of the most questionable quality. The oid wood-sawyer who drank Zach Porter s aquafortis, and was much surprised because bis shirt-sleeve had a hole burned through it where he wiped Ms mouth, could felicitate himself on just such fluid at almost any rum shop in this city, only he would find it under the title of ‘’Bourbon ’' One poor fellow, who confidingly took a ‘‘smile with a friend up town a few days since, is now a living example of God-spar ing mercy, and a monument of patient suf fering from the effects of that oue chink he avers it immediately ate a bole through his threat and, saturating his shirt-collar eon verted it into Just sixteen inches of gun-cot ton, exploding and nearly tearing his bead from bis shoulders. No wonder signs begin to appear at the depots to “beware of New York whiske." The Paulo created by the frequency of Railroad acci dents, has, I hear it suggested, caused Life Insuiauce Companies to look a little closer after their interests. It is in contemplation, I understand, by these Companies to insert in their list of inquiries, anew interrogatory to the effect whether the person applying lor policy holds a free ticket to Travel on any Railroad, thereby being induced to imperil his life oftener and make the risk of the In surance Company greater. Insurance Against Accident. In these times when railroad accidents are almost as plentiful as peaches, anew style of life Insurance has attained great popularity. Before imperiling his or her lite on one of the slaughtering machines ’yclept a railroad, the male or female passengers who is posted takes out, for the small sum ot ten cents, in surance against casualty to life for twenlj four hours to the amount of three thousand dollars. If life is lost, the company guarantees to pay the entire sura over to the heirs of the person butchered. If he or she loses a leg, or arm, or is otherwise temporarily disabled, the insurers will pay so much per week, varying, as to the damage done, from five to twenty-five or fifty dollars for half a year, i Just now’ the insurance companies are not profitting vastly by this style of busiuess, for since the 25th of January there have been no less than t wenty.four accidents invoU ing great loss of life. But with ordinary care on the part of the directors, the profits of these cou cerns will be very remunerative. They are an excellent thiug in their way, and thou sands are securing their insurance simulta neously with their railroad tickets. LATER FROM NEW YORK. Arrival of the Varuna. LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Africa, from Liverpool at half-past eight o’clock on the morning of the 19th, via Queenstown on the 20th, arrived at Halilax lat; on Wednesday night. THE CABLE AND ITS PROSPECTS. Moorings had been laid down for the Great Eastern at Sheerness, and the inference was drawn that she would not go out again tills season. The London Times says t'>e experience of the expedition is full of encouragement tor the future. The ouly discouraging circum stance is the apparent inability of electriciaus to discover serious faults In the cable betore it is payed over the side of ship. The delay for another year will not be thrown away if it enables them to devise better tests of ex cellence of cable before it is submerged.— Though, whether they do so or not, we must believe the possibility of an Atlantic tele graph established, and look forward to the | day as certain, even If distant, when Eng lauu and America will throb with one pulse of life. The Daily News special correspondent says: It is more than probable that the Great East ern will be despatched to fish up the severed cable as soon as she can be refitted with stronger ropes and grapnels. No formal de cision can be taken until the meeting ot the various boards on the 21 at; but it toler ably certain that the expedition will re-start at once. The piospects of the Atlantic cable were the prevalent topic. The report of the Great Eastern had a tavorable effect on the shares, which rallied fiom 1 1-4 to 1 1-2. There was much differ ence of opinion as to the prospect of recover ing the cable; but generally the feeling was that it might be done. CAPTAIN ANDERSON ON THB CABLE. Captain Anderson of the Great Eastern, In a lelier, says it will require ten months to provide proper gear for lifting the Atlantic cable and to make the necessary repairs to the Great Eastern. He suggested that the new cable should be made and laid In May next, and the old one be then picked up and repaired- He has every confidence In the future success of the cable, but thinks It [ useless to renew tbc attempt to lay it (taring I the winter months.

A Fenian demonstration on a small scale had taken place near Scaroa. county Down, Ireland. Ample police and miiitary prepa ration had been made by the authorities, and order was not disturbed. A Limerick paper states that a few nights since, the Fenians made a demonstration there. About one hundred and fifty march ed through the streets in militaiy order, singing “The Feoian Menand a letter in the Belfast News Letter alleges that the members of the organization resident in Ban bridge are threatening a most formidable breach of the law. “For the last few months they have been secretly prepurine and col lecting the instruments necessary for the perfection of their disloyal and wicked pro jects. Arms and drums, with the accom panying insignia of banners, flags, &c., have been purchased for the approaching display, which is to come off on the 14th of August. A branch of the Liverpool Fenian conspira tors lias, it is said, presented them with three or four light field pieces and a quantity of small arms.' The leaders, who are aup posed to be in constant communication with those of other districts, have notified the men of Newry, Dundalk, Armagh and the towns in their own neighborhood to assem ble at the Scarva Junction on the day above stated. CHOLERA FEARED IN ENOLAND. Apprehensions of the cholera were in creasing in England. The epidemic had reached Marsellies. At an important meeting of medical offi cers and others in London, resolutions were adopted advising the utmost care and all possible precautions. LONDON MONET MARKET—ACOUST 19.

The market was firmer, but prices were un changed. IMPORTANT FROM HAITI. The United States steamer Slate ot Geor gia, from Cape llaylienonthe 22d of August, has arived at New York, bringing the fol lowing important intelligence : The rebels had taken Fort St. Michel, on the opposite side of the harbor, by surprise, in the night, causing the troops ot President Gefl’rard to evacuate Petite Ause and to stop the borabardmeut of the town. The town had been relieved lrom its most pressing wants by small vessels running the blockade at night, and a blockade runner from Nassau bad run in with provisions, arms and mnunition. Only three or four persons in the town had been killed by the bombardment, but many bad died from fright and starvation. The white inhabitants ot the Cape were in a very unsafe position, being obliged to Keep within doors, and being subjected to constant threats by the mob, composed most ly of women aimed with knives tied on tl e end of bamboo poles. The rebels had enticed three of GeflVnrd’s officers from the American Consul s house, aud shot i hem in cold blood. The English steamer Fawn had arrived from Jamaica, taking the place of the Cordelia. The rebels are determined to hold out, and the government forces are reduced to a small nnmber by deaths and desertious. Flour was $25 (gold) per bbl. ; rice 30c. per lb. ; beans 20c. ; and sugar 50c. IMPORTANT FROM ST. DOMINQO. Interesting West India news was brought by the steamship Columbia, which arrived at New York on Wednesday, from Havana on the 26th inst. The Republic of St. Do mingo, even before it has got rid of its Span ish invaders, has again become involved in domestic difficulties. The capital and other principal towns have declared against Gen. Pimental, who, since January last, has as sumed to be at the head ol governmental affairs, and General Cabral has been chosen Protector of the republic. It is charged that Pimental has been acting in complete de fiance of law and consulting only his own will. Cabral has accepted the office imposed on him,formed a government, placed himself at the bead of a body of troops to put down bis opponents. Issued a proclamation, and writ ten a conciliatory letter to Pimental. in which the latter Is adjured to sacrifice his ambitious projects and subuiit to the will of the peo ple. Nothing iaier is furnished by this ar rival regarding the movements or intentions of the Spaniards in St. Domingo. wholesale Poisoning by a Boarding house Keeper in Pittsburg, A PENNSYLVANIA BORGIA. [From the Pittsburg Post, August 26.) As we remarked on Friday, a saturnalia of crime appears to be passing over the land. On Thuisday evening a middle aged woman named Mrs. Grinder, who has resided for some time upon Gay alley, near river avenue, Fourth ward, Alleghany city, was before the mayor, dressed in deep mourning, charged with latceny. The mayor demanded $1,500 bail, which to us seemed exhorbitant, and our sympathies ran with the woman, al though we suspected that something beside larceny was lurking behind the information, Ou Friday a development took place which, if proven, will certainly exhibit a state of facts that will brand this woman as one of the most expert and systematic poisoners that has turned up recently. On the charge of larceny she entered bail, a well-known citizen becoming her surety, and she was discharged, although kept under surveillance by two officers, during the night.' But In the morning it was discovered that the bird bad tit least been taking an alriug, If she had not absolutely flown. The baiiman, who Is a gentleman of more goodness of heart, per haps, titan discretion, was annoyed at the circumstance, and interested hliuself to pro curing officers to at once make an at rest. She was destined to the custody of Mayor Lowry, when a gentleman named George A. Carulhers, employed in the dry goods estab lishment of James M. Carr, ot Alleghany, appeared at the mayor’s office and preferred an information against a woman named Mar tha Grinder, residing in Gay alley, near Ri ver aveuue, Fourth ward, Alleghany, charg ing her with murder, and administering poi son with Intent to kill. Mr. Cambers allege* that on Tnes r evening, June 27, last, hi* wile, Mary.jv Caruthers, was Invited and did take tea w*“ Mrs. Grinder, who resides next door to hi”’ and that shortly after she returned to h* 1 home she was taken with riolent purging and vomitiug. which m* prostrated liei that she was coo tl bed to her bed. The next day, however, she partially recovered, when lie took her to the country for the purpose of recuperating her hosllh. He returned im mediately, and on Friday evening following also took supper at Mrs. Grinder’s house He, too, was taken with a similar spell, only of a more aggravated character, and was compelled to remain in the house lor several weeks, the physician in attendance giving up all hopes of his recovery ou two occasions. Mrs. Grander was, during his illness, ap parently very kind and unceasing in her at tentions, frequently preparing his food In the meantime, however, his wife was tele graphed for, and returned to the city.— Through her ministrations to his disease he recovered, although terribly shattered in health aud constitution. On the 15th of July Mrs Caruthers again took supper with Mrs. Grinder, and was again suddenly 111. A physician was seut for, who gave her some medicine, but shortly after left, remarking that she would sood re cover. Mrs. Grinder was requested to wait on her and nurse her, wbicu she did, and the lady, instead of recovering, grew worse.— The physician could not account for her sud deD change, but again prescribed, and from that time became regular in his attendance. Mrs. Caruthers lingered until the Ist of August, when she died, and was taken to Newcastle for burial. Mr. Caruthers, after the burial of his wife, returned to the city, and shortly after leased his house and sold a portion of his furniture to a geutlemun named Johnson. On the 15th instant, Mr. Johnson took possession, and his wife, Amanda Johnson, visited the house for the purpose ot cleaning and preparing it for occupation. She worked away until noon, when Mrs. Grinder kindly invited her to dine with her. After some persuasion, Mrs. Johnson complied with her request, went into the house and partook ot a hearty dinner, But a few minutes elapsed after she left the table until she was seized with spams, which continued until late in the night. Owing to her excessive prostration she remained in Mrs. Grinder’s house for several days, during which time she appeared to get better. At length her own house was fitted up and she was removed in Mrs. Grinder continued in at tendance, preparing her food, and the lady again became worse. Mr. Caruthers hearing of this case, called to see Mrs. Johnson, when his suspicions were aroused, and he informed the physician in charge of his belief that Mrs. Grinder was administering poison. The doctor gave or ders that Mrs. Johnson should not eat any food prepared by Mrs. Grinder, but that it should be retained for examination. This was done, and a chemical analysis made, which shewed conclusively the presence of some mineral poison. Mrs. Johnson is uow better, and will probably recover. Her hus band lias also preferred an information, charging Mrs. Grinder with administering poison with intent lo kill. Mrs. Grinder has heretofore borne an irre proachable character, and is well known in both cities, where she has pursued the occu pation of nurse for many years. She is per haps forty years of age and rather preposses sing iu appearance. It is also alledged that during the past few mouths several persons have died at her house, all in a mysterious manner. We were unable to learn the names of hut two, a Mrs. Gallagher and a brother ot Grinder. Mrs. Caruthers is a native of Newcastle, where he married a Miss Mary E. Phillips, and only removed to the city a short time ago. Her body will be exhumed, and a chemical anavsis made of the stomach in a few days. Mrs. Grinder was arrested and committed tor a hearing on Monday next, at 2 o’clock. The motives for such a refinement of de viltry, if proven upon the woman, has not transpired ; and until she is proven guilty we should hold the woman innocent. But it appears, as we have stated, that an epi demic of crime is raging at the present time. Financial and Commercial. Foreign. Liverpool, Aug. 20. Cotton heavy, and destined qd.

Prime short date bills are taken at 6 a ov, per cent,; long date bills, 7 per cent.; good to fair names continue at $ a 10 per cent. Foreign exchange Is unsettled. The increasing supply of cotton hills depresses the late high quota tions for sterling, and bankers have to submit to lower figures or forego busiuess.

Holders place very little reliance upon the prospects of foreign shipments, but incline to the view that the supply of cotton bills will be quite suf ficient to keep exchange below the specie shipping point.
