At a meeting of the Pdehmond Couu- j ty Bar, held in the Grand Jury Boom, j pn the morning of the 22nd inst., for; the purpose of making arrangements to j pay tlie last tribute of respect to the ! memory of the late Hon. IVm. Schley, a member of this bar, the Hon. Win. W. j Holt was called to the Chair, and Geo. j T. Barnes appointed Secretary. JohnC. Snead, Esq., then arose, and ; moved that the bar attend the funeral | in a body, and that a committee, con- J sisting of eight members of this bar, lie ■ requested to act as pall-bearers on the occasion.

Tlie chairman ap-1 pointed, with the exception of him self, j the pall-bearers as said committee. On motion, the Hon. Uhas. J. Jenkins | j was added to said committee. The j; meeting then adjourned until half past 1 nine o’clock to-morrow morning. Grand Jury Room, Nov. 23, 1858. The Bar met pursuant to adjourn- : men, tlie Hon. W. W. Hoitin the chair. ! The committee, through its chair- . man. the Hon. Chas. J. Jenkins, then j presented the following report, which j was unanimously adopted. i * Death lias claimed yet another vie- 1 tim.

We are told by an eye witness, says the Baltimore Exchange newspaper, that an immense crowd assembled at the Railway Station and greeted the retiring monarch with enthusiastic shouts and earnest wishes for his return in good health ; and al! along the line of railway, as the train] passed, similar crowds saluted the royal party with shouts of “Long live the King,” and that at Anhault the expres sion of sympathy for the suffering mon arch was so affectingiy evinced that tlie King “covered his face with his hands, I and with tears rolling down his cheeks, exclaimed, addressing the Prince of, Prussia, 'Do you hear tiiose shouts. Wil liam ? Aufbaldega miderdttn! Good bye! Anremir! “There was not,” says the wt iter, “a dry eye at the sta tion. It is impossible to describe the emotions cf tlie Prince of Prussia. The Queen sobbed aloud, and every man ] present wept.” So fell the curtain up jon the first King of the House of Bran-, j denburg that ever surrendered during | his lifetime his royal prerogatives into the hands of another. There is a touch of nature in the little episide we have just recorded, which brings the actors, into close relations with the general | heart, and teaches us the moral that kings and commoners are alike subject] to “the ills that flesh is heir to,” that all stations have their cares, and that ! every man, whatever may be his posi ! tion in life must bear as’ best he may the burden that has been imposed upon I him. To Prussia, the transfer of sov-' icreign powers from a King, afflicted j with periodical returns of lunacy, toai | Prince Regent in full possession of all ! his faculties, and ambitions of cleva | ting his country to the first lank in tlie 1 Germanic Confederation, cannot be oth- I erwise than a cause for unalloyed satis-' faction. - .<V. . , Darby's Prophylactic Fluid. : We are glad to learn that this excel ■lent preparation received that attention |at the Alabama btate Fair, recently J held at .Montgomery, which its impor , tance and tlie reputation of its discov -i erer alike demanded. It was referred ; to a special subcommittee, composed' ■of scientific gentlemen, who, after crdl-, jing Prof. D. before them, and listening] Ito a lecture replete with science, iti i j which was shown the constitution andj I manner of action of his disinfectant, | made a report, speaking of tlie merits! jof the discovery, and its superiority ! j over any preparation for similar pur poses now in use. A premium was] awarded it, and in so doing the Execu tive Committee honored themselves, as j we verily believe the future will prove, j and for the following resons: The sub- i ject of disinfectants is one which is in timately connected with the health of! all our large cities, and especially of our] shipping. It lias long engaged the at- ] tention of learned men and scientific associations, aud even governments have not thought it beneath their en- ] couragement. Last year a meeting of | scientific men, physicians and health of- j J fleers, was held, with special reference ■ |to throwing more light upon this very \ I subject, and it Ims become a matter of history that when Labarraque, at the I j instance of the Society for the encour agement of Arts, discovered his eelc-j brated disinfectant, which lias hitherto ] been regarded as the best preparation | | for such purposes, lie received 50,000 | francs, and was afterwards pensioned I jby tlie government for life. Now, j if Prof. D. lias, as he says, aud his sue- j cess with those competent to judge! goes to prove it discovered a better! agent than Labarrabue’s, and one which can be produced so cheaply that it can ] be extensively used, then we conceive] he will not only be benelitting himselt,l but honoring his country by the discov- : ery, and the Committe at the Fair, who thus in the incipiency of it spoke out so; decidedly, will hereafter have no cause] to repent it. We think, however, that! Prof. D. ought at once to bring his dis- j covery before the attention of the gov-! eminent and scientific bodies, and have' it tested in bur large hospitals and! quarantines. -‘Columbus Daily Sun.

The next river, in point of size, is „ Fraser, rendered famous, within the 1 past few months, for the reputed rich ' ness of gold mines upon its bars, and l in its immediate vicinity. The ri . ver rises at about the fifty-seventh I parallel of North latitude, in a little J J lake, called by some authors Tatu Lake, 1 1 and by others, Fraser Lake. The cast . ] eriy fork of Fraser river rises in nearly ' ] tlie same latitude, and drains, for some ! distance, the westerly slope of the ’] Rocky Mountains. It is a fact worthy " j of mention, that the East fork of Fra ’ j ser, and the head waters of the Coluw j ] bia, rise within probably ten miles of ‘ each other. The East and the West I j branches unite at Fort George, and flow , l thence in a South and Southwesterly di ] rection, constantly receiving tributaries of considerable magnitude, until the j! whole is discharged into the Gulf of 'i Georgia, near the forty-ninth parallel of . North latitude. Thus, in a right line, Fraser river is r ] little more than five hundred miles in ’ ] length ; but if we were to form an esti , mate by its meandearings, its length ,; would exceed seven hundred miles. The river, above the point where it comes Jj through the Cascades, is shallow, rapid, t i and interrupted with frequent falls. It t ; drains the easterly slope of the Cascades, 1 ; and the westerly slope of the Rocky ; Mountains, a vast extent of snowy j mountain ranges and of wet country. ] Next to the Columbia, Fraser is the largest river on tlie Pacific coast.— 1 ; Whether that river can ever below in ! tlie summer season, like rivers in mil der latitudes, seems to be exceedingly I' problematical. Tlie frost of winter may cheek it, but even in this there is ] a wonderful conflict of authority, among the people connected with the Hudson's Bay Company. A Noble Vt'lfe Nobly Rewarded. The Paris correspondent of the Jour nal of Commerce tells how a noble wife , was nobly rewarded. The story is brief, , and calculated to encourage such heart- I benevolence as is here exhibited. M. j de Montyon in 1810 bequeathed an an- I nua! sum of ten thousand francs as a I ] premium at the disposal of the acade-] i my for the poor Frenchman or woman , I who should in the year perform tlie net “most virtuous or morally creditable.— ij The premium for the last year has just 1 1 been adjudged to a peasant woman, ! M me. Durand, of the department of ] Vaucluse, for this exemplary conduct. “ Her husband,” says Mr. Walsh, “was . accused of a capital crime, and anaign 'jed in Assizes; he was acquitted with , difficulty, and by a small majority of ’ the jury. The wife sustained him de ; votedly throughout the trial, and insist ]ed on his innoceuce ; she resolved to ■ find the real culprits ; she persevered in , the search for several years; she dis covered them, aud had them brought 3to justice Their conviction fulfilled : her purpose, which was to re-establish the character of her husband —the true ■ amende for an honest man.” Tlie good woman will be passing rich with , i ten thousand francs. J Hon. Chas. R. Buekalaw, American ; Minister to Ecuador, reached Quito, the : ] capital of Ecuador, on the 14th of Sep ] tember, being one month's journey ] 1 from Panama,which he left on tlie ]stii 1 of August. i Mrs. Jemima Miller, aged 00 years j died at Cowneautville, l’a., a day or I two ago. She was a revolutionary mat ] ro’i.and personally participated in many j |of those scenes which “tried men’s' | souls.” Miss E.
