Olncy near Cedar Grove about five miles north of the city and which is to bo attributed directly to the free use of intoxicating drinks Tho particulars as we gather them nro these: In (he courso of yesterday afternoon a party of men assembled at the public house of John Jennings who is Constablo in that section nnd after dying themselves pretty freely with liquor quarrel arose between James O'Neill au Irishman and George Soule an American The quarrel began in the tavern but was continued to the road without A few blows were given on each side when Sonic was observed to fall two or three times His friends went up to him and found aim bleeding quite freely IK was u-n the tavirn and i-ad in a few minutes It was found that he had received two stabs in the left breast one of which rf not both had reached a vital part Aeill the offender was arrested on tho spot No weapon was found in his possession nor could any be found immediate neighborhood lie was taken before Alderman Hayman of Konsington and was commuted to answer the charge of murder We learn that O'Neill denies using the knife but no one else was sufficiently near to indict the wounds if such a supposition was reasonable Both the murderer and the victim have families Their residence was in the neighborhood of the scone of tho Coroner Goldsmith proceeded this morning to Olncy to investigate the circ*mstances of the Philadelphia Argus) im Shot Mr Samuel Daniels of Hanover township in this county shot himself through the heart with a pistol on Monday morning last and of course died almost instantly No definite cause for the rash net has been discovered Mr Daniels was a young man of considerable had a young wife to whom he had been married but a few months and but recently hnd come into possession of a pretty large estate On the morning of his death he arose at about the usual time nnd while his wife was preparing breakfast went to an old desk and took out a double barreled pistol His wife at first thinking it was something elso which he had taken from the desk pnid but little attention to his movements Presently however observing the pistol in his hand she asked him What are you going to shoot lie replied Nothing" She then turned round and when next she saw him ho was pointing the pistol to his breast which she immediately reached for when he discharged its contents into his heart one ball entering the heart and the other the left lung In the act of firing his wife had her thumb shot off The deceased was connected with a trial in the Supreme Courl now sitting in Philadelphia in relation to his father's will which it is conjectured had some effect in producing such a depression of spirit as to nave induced him to coimnitsuicidc A coroner's jury was held on the body but eliciting no

Judge Meyers Since the nomination of Judge Meyers as the Whig candidate for Surveyor Gennral the Locofoco presses have been assailing him in unmeasured terms They do not allege that he is not qualified for tho station for which he is a candidate nor that he is in the least exceptionable in a moral point of view but he is denounced as a "renegade" and a "traitor" Judge Meyers was formerly a Locofoco and doubtless acted with that party because he honestly cherished the leading measures it professed to advocate but when that party in open insolent violation of its solemn professions struck down the Protective Policy he at once refused to share the fatal fraud upon tho people of Pennsylvania lie has ever been an earnest advocate of a Protective Tariff and he was driven from the ranks of the Locofoco party because it abandoned one of tho most vital measures it -ever advocated simply because a Locofoco President made Froe Trade the avenue to official favors This and this only is Judge Meykrs' crime Not that he left tho Locofoco party but that the Locofoco party left him and he had too much honesty to follow it at the expense of his honestly entertained principles But the fierce attacks upon Judge Mev-ers have a different object They have been made not so much for the purpose of injuring the Whig candidate) as for the purpose of diverting the public mind from the many objections to the Locofoco candidate They know that Mr Bit aw ley is exceptionable both morally and politically that he lias sacrificed his party when his interests required it and that he is notoriously immoral in his habits and it is to hide these faults in their own candidate that Judge- Meyers is so grossly and so unjustly assailed For our own part we hope the Locofocos will continue to assail the Whig candidate for Surveyor General for such a courso must naturally provoko tho public to a closer examination of the claims of the two candidates All wc ask is that the people of Pennsylvania consider dispassionately whether Judge Meyers or Porter Br aw ley is most entitled to their suffrages and if so the Whig candidate must be successful by an overwhelming majority New York Tho New York Daily Tribune entered its thirteenth volume last week enlarged fully one-third and otherwise improved It is now ono of the largest daily papers in the United States and we believe gives more reading matter than any other yet it is still published at the extremely low price of $500 per annum The proprietors announce that the recent enlargement will add to the coat of its publication $50000 a year but they hope for a large increase of circulation and to accommodate many more advertisem*nts than heretofore Even before this late improvement the Tribune was decidedly the cheapest paper in the world and now it is not approached by any of itscotemporarics either in general interest and utility or in cheapness The terms arc as follows Daily his hiDding-placc pitched into some
