These have been ot a comparatively privatelsharaoter, but yesterday afternoon Mr. Randodph, a medium" of some MONK AY KVBN1NG.

JftWUARY A most thrilling and awful tragedy occurred in the vicinity of Cascade, on Friday night. Robert McGinty, residing some two miles this side of Cascade, went to the house of his father in law, Mr. uiaru, resiamg a short distance beyond Cas cade, and commenced an assault upon his wife, who had gone there to escape his ill treatment, when the father, Mr. Clark, interfered, by drawing a pistol from his pockot, and informing McGinty that he would shoot him if he did not desist. McGinty seized a flat iron and knocked the old man down, took the pistol from him, and shot him.

During the time that this rencontre was going on between McGinty and Clark, the wifo escaped to a neighbor's house but seeing pursuit from her demon husband, she left the house and went into the woods, and there secreted herself. McGinty followed to the house where the wife had retreated and not finding her there, swore he would shoot tho woman of the house if sho did not inform Mm of the place of concealment of his wife. The woman alarmed or her safety informed McGinty the direction his wife had taken. Bent on blood he pursued and found her concealed in the bushes, and, hor rible to relate, cut her head nearly off. He then went to his own house and placing the muzzle of the pistol under his cnin, discharged it, the ball passing out of his right cheek.

Finding this effort to destroy lite ineffectual, ho discharged three balls into his abdomen, and then" attempted to sever his wind pipe by drawing a knife across his throat. He was found, some time during Friday night, at his own house, in bed and still alive, by some men "from Cascade, in pursuit of him. As they entered the house, he pulled the clothes over his head. They placed him in a wagon and started for Cascade, but before they reached there, life had left the carcass of this desperate wretch. McGinty and his wife are both dead, and it is doubtful whether Clark, will survive.

McGinty is the same desperado who, a short time since, bit a man's nose ofl, in tho lower part of the city, and was bound over to appear at the next Term of the District Court. Public Notice BTJSHTON. CLARK ACQ'S COD LIVER OIL. The late firm of Rushton. Clark belnir dissolved lv the death of Wm.

must ba conceded, that what is wormy ot attack is equally worthy of defence, provided tho attack ia (to say the least) respectable. With regard to "Building Associations" it has been asserted that they have an evil tendency, that they are gambling operations to entrap the over credulous and unwary, in inducing many ot our men of email means to invest their savings with a fair expectation ot realising thousands of dollars all gratuitous charges which I am weel aware oannot be substantiated by proof. The members of the several associations in our arood cltv of Brooklyn, owe a dett of gratitude to the different anonymous penny a lincrs who seem to take such adiveiy interest weir weir fare, and to give themleBsons on a subject which they do not understand, and with which they are not connected, but whoje benevolent dispositions and mistaken philanthropy has induced them to take up the cudgels and fight, Don Quixote like, windmills. I do not mean by the above remarks to infringe on the privilege of the journalist who with Argua eyea watches the interest ot our community and is ever ready to expose lraud in whatever shape it may assume on the contrary, I believe he conscientiously discharges a most sacred duty, I only allude to correspondents who strike in the dark and aro seemingly to come out openly. In all I have read in the columns ol your valuable paper, I am yet to see a single specific charge, leaving me no chance of a successful reply.

I presume, however, that what we have seen so lar, proceeds from Borne dissatiefied persona who could not get back the funds they cad invested in the Associations, on demand. The 24th article of the Constitution says "Any member may withdraw from this Association any or all the unredeemed shares held by him, upon giving written notice thereof to the standing comoiittte, who shall within one month thereat ter, repay to such member the monthly dues per share reoeived from him," And further, I read the following paragraph "Should the funds on hand, and not previously Bet apatt for the redemption ot shares, be insufficient to repay the necessary amount on the withdrawal of a share, it shall not be withdrawn until a suffi cient sum be on hand." Now, Mr. Editor, because a man does nut understand the working ot our associations, because he has perhaps never taken the trouble to read their constitutions, does it follow that on his mere ipse dixit they should be all condemntd as worthless or if the. obtuaenesB of his understanding is such as to not understand alter readr ing, is just and proper he ehould make Eucn a sweeping change 7 It is not my intention to occupy too much space in your valuable columns and will there lore close this communication by a quotation taken lrom a late St. Louis paper, the "Republican" Last week, as it is well known, a run was made on several private bankers of that cits and also on the "Bootmen's Savings Institution" which had well nigh compelled them to close their doors had it not been lor the timely interference ol a umber of the most wealthy, persons of St.

Louis who came out with a card, that they were ready to pledge their fortunes lor the surety of the depositors. Now Mr. Editor, it is a well known faot that monuyB deposited in that institution as in all Savings Banks, are invested for the advantage and security of the depositors, either on Bond and.Mortgage or on short paper with undoubted names. It' a run is made on them suddenly, how can they meet the pressure It is jiibt the situation oi the Building Associations who inveac all monthly receipts tor the benefit of the stockholders. It a pressure in the money market compel some ot them to withdraw their deport ts, they must wait until funds are collected to meei iiio aemmd.

According to the returns made up to the 1st at the Admiralty, England has 142 vessels of war propelled by steam power afloat and in commission, and 104 sailing ships total 246. The Edinburg papers announce the death of Sir Adam Ferguson, a captain in the Peninsular war, a son of Professor Ferguson author of the Roman Republic," and the man through whose instrumentality Scott and Burns first met. His figure is prominent in Wilkie's beautiful picture of the Wilkie family. By a late parliamentary return it appears lint the total expense of obtaining the charier of Great Northern Railway in England was 683, 052, or $3,400,000, ol which 416,763 went in parliamentary and legal expenses, and 225,289 in engineering expanses 1 Queen Isabella, of Spain, has sent a magnificent golden tiara as a personal present to the Pope. The tiara is enoruated with no fewer than eighteen thousand brilliants, so set as to throw off rays at all points, and to form around the Holy Father's head a halo of light like the "glory" of a saint It is fortunate that the Spanish treasury is in a condition to afford so valuable a gift.

The Pope's "next best" tiara is one that was presented to Pius VII. by Napoleon I. At Woolwich a bricklayer has' caused the death of a laborer, by inducing him to drink chloride of zino for ale. It appears that the deceased had been sometime suffering from the effects of the pernicious doae. In the course of the last week his condition became much worse, and his death being evidently near at hand, the magistrate went and took his dying statement.

The poor creature presented a most shocking appearance. GleaBOn's Pictorial, says the Weekly Chronicle, for last month, contains some verses entitled 'We are Growing Old," purporting to have been written for that journal by L. G. Kiggs, and to have been Suggested by reading some lines in a late number of the Pictorial, from the pen ot O. G.

Dunn." These verses are the production of the well known blind poetesB.Franois Browne and are part of a poem whioh appeared original ly iu tne Jitneneum. The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Dreux, a few days ago, tried 36 ot the peasants who were concerned in the recent disturbances in the villages near that town. All were convicted with the exception of a boy of thirteen; and 34 ot them were condemned to periods ot imprison. ment varying from filteen days to two years. The other manjeonvicted, whose name is Breton, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, because it was he who who prepared the oord for hanging the Prefect.

Lord Lindsay states that in the course of his wanderings amid the pyramids of Egypt, he stummed on a mummy, proved by ub hlero gliphics to be at least 2000 years of age. On examining the mummy atter it was unwrapped, he found in one of its dosed hands a tuberous or bulbous root. He was interested in the ques tion how long vegetable life oould last, and he therefore took the root from the mummy's hand, planted It in a sunny soil, allowed the rainB and dews of heaven to descend boon it, and in the course of a few weeks, to his astonishment and joy, the root burst iorlh and bloomed into a beauteous dahlia. The London Times on llie War Bern acralic Tendencies. The great thnaderer of the press has opened a battery oi iuveative, argument, ana sarooem on Lord Raglan, ana the other military leadens io the Crimea, whioh ia likely to be more effectual in demolishing the object of than the fire of the army against the walla of Sebas topol.

The nepoiism by whioh the Boions oi royalty and noble houses are placed in command of military and naval positions, without the Slightest regard to or merit, is justly, and what is somewnat strange, boldly announced as the oause of the inefficiency oi the army in the Crimea. It is probable that a reformation will tollow, and not only the com mand of the present army be improved, but a permanent change be made in the military system, by which merit and miad will take the plaoe oi nobility and imbecile incompetence. These democratic tendencies of the leading Journal of England are of deep significance. If "mind is to be the standard of the man" in the army, why not in oivil nflVirs If gene rala are to be chosen on acoouat ot nitaral capaol ty why should cabinets ba exclusively composed of titled noblemen? Why Bhould not the village Hamp deas, the mute inglorious Miltoas, and bloodless Cromwells have a ohanoe of raliug the nation Why should the genius and intellect, which are the real glory of Eaglaad, be cramped by the artificial barriers o( aristocracy These ideas will probably suggest themselves to the people of England, and though John loves. not innovation, he will probably see his beet interest in an abolition of many of the exclusive privileges of rank and birth.

The following is the aot now before the Legislature fur the construction ot docks in the 12th Ward, at Eed Hook Point. To ereot those dooks will require, First the reclamation of a great space ot what is now under the dominion of Neptune. All Buch grants ot permission to construct dooks ought to be scrutinized by the Oity Government, to make sure that they will not hereafter give private speculation advan tages over public convenience. In regard to this particular matter, the persons applying to the Legislature own the property (routing on the Bay, which would prevent any conflict with the rights ot other owners nor can the erection of docks as asked for. injure the navigation of the Bay, as the water within the proposed limits would hardly float a lighter It shall be lawful for Wm.

The bark Howling Wind, Capt. Porter, sailed from Philadelphia on the 18th instant, for Londonderry, with a full cargo of grain.

The next day, having passed the CapeB ot the Delaware, it was discovered that the vessel leaked badly. Notwithstanding every exertion to keep the ship free by pumping and throwing overboard a portion of the oargo, the leak gained so fast that Captain Porter deemed it advisable to make for the nearest port. On Saturday about dark, she was fallen in with by the pilot boat Anthony B. Neilson, of New York. The ship being completely waterlogged and the pumpB choaked by grain, she was abandoned, all hands going on board the pilot boat, which reached New York last night.

Counterfeiting by Photography has become an art which may be very dangerous in its oon Bequenoes to the public. A daguerreotypist in Cincinnati has been performing a series of expe riments in this art, and he is enabled to copy all kinds of ordinary writing and printing checks, notes, autographs or letters. A number of bank bills copied in this way were presented at various banks ia the city of Cincinnati, and in every casethoy were pronounced, fter careful inspection, to be genuine. Bills printed in red, blue or green colors cannot be copied, and the photographic pictures will torn white by wetting them with a solution of corrosive sublimate, or of hy drioate of potassium.

The Longshoremen have agreed to the reduction ol their wages by the merchants.

Mild Winter Thus far this winter Lake Erie has been entirely uofrozen.and the entrance to Buffalo harbor has been unobstructed by ice. So great Is the mildness of the season, that in the publio gardens of Paris roses and other Sowers may be seen In abundance, celebrity, delivered a Lecture at ths Institute at whioh in pursuwoe of an invitation Dy aaver tlsement, a reepeotable and, considering the un favorable state of the weather, a numerous uui ence attended. To designate his subject, the lecturer seems to lVe coined a word, viz Familism," and with terKr on the merits or demerits of the dootrines taught by this new it may be admitted that the discou Be of Mr. Randolph contained.maoy truths, and, its anti soriptural tendency apart, was not void ot morality. He oommenced by explaining the manner in which the Lectures had been delivered through him, in order that there might be no misapprehension.

For Borne time past he had felt under some control, his oonsoiousnees seemed to be entirely sua' pended, his soul extended, and he was as unconscious as his hearers of what was about to pass through his lips. He then real the 48Lh Psalm and proceed ed Ha came bclore ihem in sooiewnai oeuer hotiiih than on tame former occasions, but very weak; and he did not know whether he would pass into the superior state and lo6e his own consciousness, but he thought not. During the past week he had the heads given him of eome points, he meant to speak on in this Lecture. Whoever had observtd nature iu her best mode or in any mode and taken a passing glauje at the world and the system ol thingB could, not have lulled to notice the union between all the unrip of animated nature. Illustrating hi poaition by a reference to the oraHri solar svstem, he described the entire, the universe as one grand system or series ol systems of whioh God was the centre, or Father and matter or nature might b3 said to be the Mother.

The whole consisted ot families fami es nf stars, of rocks, of men, of beasts and of ideas and intell cts. He reviewed the history ol the creation, and the "fall of mau" as it is ordinarily (considered; but which he explained aB being calculated or intended for man's ultimate improvement siuce had he been suffered to remain in paradise he would to this day have been in the condition of the South Sea Islanders in whoBe region the earth sponteueonsly produces its fruits. The garden of Paradise waB an Eden of inanition the intuition man then re oeived and under the influence of which he acted was replaced by intellect but iu the interim, from necessity became barbaric, an ordin atton which was necessary to enable him to overcome physical nature. Our First parents, whom he took up as the oentre, by way ot illustration, though it was al moBt universally admitted there were 7 centres, from the first iamiiy but sons and daughters rise on every side till they grew, diBConueoted and separated, peopling different parts of the earth. These events, he oontended, had occupied ageB and decades of ages, until now man was so tar free that he had, as it were, returned to an Eden state but it was the Eden state or beginning of an advanced stage in his progress, whioh the light afforded him by Spiritualism would enable him to improve, and; which it was his duty to improve, and of doing this the Ma mily' is the means.

The first woman was adapted to the first man, and bo was every man and woman that was born perfectly adapted to one of the opposite sex. 'f ne Law of Nature was immutable, that like begets like." It was as absolute as the law which draws the steel to the magnet. For this reason matches bhould be made only by those who were phrenological! and psychologically waited to eaoh other, who would produce a eupe rior race ot men and Bom But there was such a general mal adaptation that out of tour hundred and seventy thousand couples, all but one were mated but not matched. Most were drawn together byvuuwortby motives and their union was calculated to produce nothing but discord. TJpou thiB subject he enlarged aud dwelt for a considerable length, concluding with an imaginary sketch of a spiritual harmon ic er unitary family, who would eeek no mediums through whom to communicate, who would not mourn when one died, but leel that there way one less to love on earth and one mors in heaven such a lamilv oonld know no fear ot death or poverty, and would form a sight to gladden God himself, and these would ultimately unite iu the one grand human family en rapport with Hea ven.

At the conclusion of the leoture, Mr. Randolph gave notive that Mr. W. Clark would review, this evening at the same place, Mr. JUtKiu'a lec ture on Denunciation ot Spiritualism, delivered in the Eastern district, one night last week.

Yesterday a mau named Anthony Sweetze keeper of a lager bier saloon at 143 Houston Btreet, New York, was arreBted by officer Davin, on a warrant issued by Justice Wood on the complaint ot Josephine Grauser, a native of Germany, who charges the prisoner with having enticsd her to his house, under pretence of em ploying her aB a domestic, and then committing an indecent assult upon her, and likewise con pellicg her to submit to the same treatment at the hands of other parties, all of them strangers to her, and that when she desired to leave the house of the accused, to avoid his ill treatment he refused to allow her to depart. Another and a Bimilar complaint waa made against Sweetzer by a woman named Ann Frankindall. Sweetzer waetaken before the magistrate yesterday who committed him to prison for examt nation. Iu publishing the opinion of the Justices of the Supreme Court, in relation to the power vested in the Governor to disband military companies the BoBton Journal says it fully sustains the action of Gov.
