Prof. Fowler’s Lecture.
The lecture last night on Phrenology,
and its application to Love and conjugal
life, was the most valuable of the series,
thus far. It was an eminently philo
sophical review of the rationale of court
ship matrimony, and the love element
of our natures. It discussed the first laws
of love, and delineated the treatment
due between ladies and gentlemen,fath
ers, mothers, sisters and brothers, and
the rocks and quicksands of indiffer
ence on which the happiness of so
many households is wrecked. Every
body should hear Prof. Fowler. Ilis
visit constitutes an era in the social
progress of any city.

The second gift exhibition of the Rus

crowded house. The gifts were destri
buted in a fair and satisfactory manner.
One of our juvenile typos bore off a sil

all classes and conditions of our city so
ciety, from some of the elite down to
most ebony of our African community.
On Saturday night another exhibition,
with 40 gifts, is announced.

Infantile Tragedy,
A strange tragedy occurred on Satur
day, in Broad Crock Hundred, Dela
ware. A negro woman, by the name of
Purnal, on the day above mentioned,
left home with the view of attending a
vendue, in order to sell liquor. She
left her family of six children at homo,
the oldest of which was only eight years
old. When the mother returned, she
missed one of her children. Having
observed marks of blood upon the door,
she was led to inquire the whereabouth
of the child. The children refused to
tell. A search was then instituted, and
the child found covered with brush at
some distance from the house. The
bead was cut off, as was also, orie of its
arms. The two oldest children made a
confession. They sa d that the oldest
child took an axe and cut the child's
head off, and then made one of the oth
er childien cut the arm off. They re.
fused to tell what they had done with
the arm, but it was subsequently found
concealed in the cupboard.
(jreat Invention.
A recent and most valuable discovery
is about to be exhibited in Washington
under circumstances which cannot fail
to give it interest ami wile celebrity.
It is one through which gas burners
may be lighted by electricity. The dis
cover states that he can attach his ap
paratus to the street lamps of an entire
city, and then, by the turn of screw,
ignite the jets of all of them in an in
stant of time, and extinguish them by
the same process. Os course the same
thing can be done with the lights of a
public building.

Lager Beer.— The question of the in

before the Supreme Court of Massa

does not come within the term intoxica

statute, and that, therefore, it was not
competent to go into lies ehemical fact.

THIRTY-FIFTH CO.NORESS.
Washington, March 30, 1858.
SENATE.
The Senate transacted no legislative
] business of importance. Petitions and
! memorials were presented and referred.
II r. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced
ja bill in relation to the public printing,
fixing the rates of printing and bind
ing.
The Senate then went into executive
session on the District appointments,
and it is understood that all the nomi
nations were confirmed.
Mr. Dolittle submitted joint resolu
tions from the Legislature of Wiscon
sin, urging the immediate admission in
to the Union of Minnesota.
Mr. Brown called up a bill providing
for the condemnation of certain lands
in the District of Columbia, necessary
in the construction of the Washington
Aquedmct.
Mr. Benjamin, from the committee on
private land claims, submitted a resolu
tion directing the Attorney General to
inquire as to the validity of the title to
a piece of land in Ban Francisco, deeded

Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, intro

noise.
The House went into committee of
tire whole on the Deficiency bill, and
discussed the Kansas question.
Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, said lie had
been informed that twenty-eight more
speeches were yet to lie made, and only
two days remained of the time allotted
for the debate.
The debate proved dull. Mr. Henry
Winter Davis, of Maryland, advocated
the enabling act, and thought the peo
ple of Kansas ought to resist all efforts
to force the Lecompton Constitution
upon them.
Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, made
a speech in opposition to Lecompton.

Correspondence of the Mobile Mercury.
la-1 ter from New Orleans.
New Orleans, March 27, 1858.
Dear Mercury: While 1 write there is
an intense excitement in the city caused
by the attempt made by Mr. Geo.
Harby to kill Mr. Charles W. Stone, by
shooting him with a pistol just before
noon to-day. As botli the parties are of
the highest respectability, and the
cause of the attempted killing was that
which is most calculated of all others to
excite a man to murder, the affair will
undoubtedly rival in interest anything
that has occurred here for the past
twenty years.
It seems that early last winter Mr.
riarby accidentally intercepted », letter
from his daughter, a very beautiful
girl of about sixteen ve»Ts, to Mr.
Stone, in which she imploded him to ful
fill his promises to her \>y marrying her
immediately, or else she would be dis
graced, as she was in a situation which
would preclude any further concealment
of their guilty intercourses from her pa
rents. Imagine the feelings of the old
father on reading this, written by a
daughter for whom he had more than
ordinary parental affection, and in
whose education he had spared no ex
pense or pains. Hero was indeed a
blow, and he was prostrated. On ques
tioning the poor girl she told every
thing; how she had been seduced into
;j crime by the wiles and promises of the
villain, and had for more than a month
j been imploring him to restore her liap
i pinoss and virtue, by making her his
wife, but to no effect. The father at
once ptoceededto Mr. Stone’softice, and
: demanded that he should at once make
i honorable reparation ; but he was met
with scorn and derision. It was then
that lie determined to slay him if he
; did not marry his daughter within a
. certain time, and begun making prepa
, rations for that event. He removed
his family to St. Louis and settled them
comfortably, and returned to the city
and awaited until the time had expired.
To-day was the last, and still no favora
ble answer from Stone; he called at his
store, and, after telling him that his
hour had come, shot him, as I stated
: before. The wounded man still lives,
1 but whether he will last much longer is
very doubtful, at least so report says. —
: Harby is an old and very respectable
•:citizen of this place; he came from
- j Chili leston, 8. C., some thirty years ago
-! and settled here, and taught an aca
, j demy for boys, for which he was per
-j haps the most competent person of his
' ! day, as he is a man of splendid attain
: : ments and fine mind. Os late years he
i lias held a place in our public schools,
| where be lias been as useful as ever.—
’The calamity which has now overtaken
. him will not find him without a host of
; warm friends and sympathisers, and a
. conviction of murder, in case of Stone's
death, would be an utter impossibility.
; The weather is very flue, and spring
seems to have finally taken up her
j abode with us. Business is very good,
though, as it’s Saturday, money is not
plenty. Fours, Orleanian.

change in quotations for city brands. There is
some poor Flour in the market that could be

Wheat—We have no change to report in
Wheat; receipts are light, and there is no
demand, at 95 to SI.OO for red ; $1.06 4o sl.lO
for white.
