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. Tile Golden Gil's. The second gift exhibition of the Rus sian War came off last night before a crowded house. The gifts were destri buted in a fair and satisfactory manner.

On Saturday night another exhibition, with 40 gifts, is announced. (Iff' We acknowledge our obligation to W. H.

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. — The Methodists in Indiana liavel.- 069 churches and 7b,486 members ; the Baptists 51_fi churches 27,030 mem bers.

It was alleged that this drink does not come within the term intoxica ting liquors. But the court held that it was expressly declared to be so bv the statute, and that, therefore, it was not competent to go into lies ehemical fact. ‘ There are five hundred and fifty six light-houses on our Atlantic and Lake coasts, each of which consumes about one thousand gallons of oil per an num.’' How very lucky that these houses have no gas bills to meet.— Charleston Courier. 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 by that city to the General Government for hospitable services. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, intro duced a bill amending the act relative to public printing. 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. From Washington. Washington, March 30.—The War Department has given orders for a change in the army uniform. The cap is to be replaced witli a felt hat, of the Hungarian style, and a black plume.— There has been a slight change in em bellish aient of the coat. Advices have been received from Lieut. Beale. He reports that his mis sion lias been successfully completed, and that he is now on his return home East. 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. * - *■ *— A gentleman died recently in Balti j more, leaving his property to a nephew 1i in Cincinnati.

Sales on Wednesday, 1059 bales, at 9% to 12c. The arrival of the “Persia” caused a decline, the extent of which is not so clearly deter mined, to day having been so rainy as to interfere with business, aud sales amounted to a few hundred bales, at 9 to 11, 1 a cents.
