' : '* The NEW BULLETIN BUILDING is now so nearly completed that the proprietors of the paper expect to take possession of it • within a few days. In the summer of 1865 the owners of the BULLETIN purchased the fine Pictou stone building, No. 607 Chestnut street, above Sixth, with a view to locating the establishment permanently at that place. The structure, which was one of the finest private architectural ornaments on the fashionable thoroughfare, had a front of twenty-five feet upon Chestnut street, and it extended back to Jayne street, a distance of one hundred and fifty feet. Notwithstand ing the fact that the property was a most de sirable one, and that the improvements were of the most elegant and substantial descrip tion, it was not adapted, in its original con dition, to the purposes for which we de signed it, and there was much perplexity as to how the building should be remodeled so as to fit it for the publication office of a daily newspaper. These perplexities reached a sudden and unexpected solution on the night of the first of January last, for at that time the building took lire and. it was so nearly utterly destroyed that we experienced none of the old difficulty in rebuild ing it in a way to suit ourselves. Our taste of adversity, although involving a con siderable immediate pecuniary loss, had its compensation in the fact that we had almost a clear field in which to construct what we desired to make a model newspaper office. We think we have achieved a decided suc cess. , The building as at present constructed is practically two distinct structures which may be kept entirely separate, or be thrown into one, for business purposes. Imme diately in the centre of the property a stair way is run up in an area of twenty feet in width and extending entirely across the lot. This stairway divides the two sections of the building, the rear doors and win dows of both sections opening upon it and its landings. The area of the stair way is roofed with glass, and by means of this skylight a perfect flood of light is thrown, - through the interior of the ,property, successfully solving the problem of lighting the centre of very deep buildings, and se curing complete ventilation as well as light for the entire double structure. The pas sage from Chestnut street to the stairway is through a ball six feet in width. The hall and the walls of the stairway will be colored in imitation of light granite, and this will -be lined in imitation of blocks of stone, giving the.whole a massive and elegant ap pearance. The entire front building, with the excep tion of the second-story, will .be occupied by the EVENING BULLETIN. The press room is in the basement, and no Pains or expense have been spared to fit it for the important part it has to play in the opera tions _of the establishment. A Harrison boiler is stowed snugly away under the granite side-walk on Chestnut street, and a new and powerful steam engine will supply the motive power for the concern. In the rear of the press there will be ample space for the accommodation of carriers, folders, packers, &c., and for the storage of paper. The publication office will be in an ele gant apartment upon the first floor. It has a depth of sixty feet to the stairway already described, and it is as complete in all its ap pointments as it was possible to make it. Passing through to the stairway and mounting the steps, we first come to a fine spacious room on the second floor, with a wide landing which connects it with a simi lar apartment in the northern section of the building. This elegant apartment, with the whole of the northern half of the build ing, will be to rent. • in the third story of the front building we find the editorial rooms. They are divided off, by glass partitions, into apartments for the principal editor, assistant editors and reporters. In addition to the apartments devoted to the occupancy of the persons named, there is a large room which will be fitted up with racks and cases for the recep tion of files, bound volumes of newspapers, books of reference, &c. Ascending to the fourth and upper story of the front building, we find what we be lieve to be the finest comiosing room in the country. It has ample space, while the front and rear windows would furnish quite as much light as is usually found in com posing rooms; but in order that there should be no scarcity of this important desidera tum, a large skylight has been placed in the centre of the ceiling, and nothing out night or a total eclipse of the sun can cause any failure of the supply of light in this apart ment. All the branches of the j establish ment are connected together by means of dumb-waiters, speaking tubes,l &c., and every known facility for the prompt de spatch of the business of the establishment has been secured. The apartments in the Northern section of the building are scarcely less desirable than those which front upon Chestnut street. There is a handsome front upon Jayne street; while the wide hall, which opens di rectly upon Chestnut street, affords a con venient and elegant means of access to all parts of the property. Every apartment in both sections of the building is supplied with a water-closet and a stationary wash-basin; while gas pipes ramify the entire structure, in order to secure a fall supply of artificial light. The Chestnut street front of the property, which shared the fate of the rest of the build ing, inasmuch as it was mostly destroyed at the time of the fire, has been restored to nearly its original condition. The style of its architecture has been somewhat changed; but the changes have been made with a view to increased elegance and an enlarged practical utility. The building as it stands possesses many advantages over the struc ture which it succeeded. It is far less ex posed to the danger .of conflagration; it is much more convenient in its internal ar rangements; it is, . we- believe,,faultless in The New Bulletin Building, PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1866. respect to light and ventilation, and last, but not least, as regards its adaptation to the purposes of the publication office of .a news paper, we believe. that it has no equal in Philadelphia and' no superior in any part of the world. We expect to publish our issue of Monday, May 7th, in the NEW BULLETIN BITILDIIIO. The following are the names of the master mechanics to whose skill and faithful per formance of their engagements we are in debted for the fine improvement of whibh we expect soon to enjoy the advantages: Contractor and builder, John Crump.

The entire work was done in accordarice with plans furnished by Mr. John Fraser, architect, and under the superintendence of that gentleman. The proprietors of the BIILLEMN are also under obligations to Messrs. Elwood Hoffman and Amos Smed ley, the attentive lieutenants of Mr. Crump, the contractor, for their watchful care during the time the building has been iu progress. THE ALBION ENGRAVINGS.-Mr. A. Winch, 505 Chestnut street, has made ar rangements with the publisher of the New York. Albicrn to supply to subscribers here, upon the receipt of a subscription of six. dol lars for one year, a choice of any of those splendid steel engravings,taken from paint ings by Wandesforde, Landseer, Herring, Stewart, ttc. Of the Albion it is unneces sary to speak, as every ,one at all conver sant with the periodicals of the day will not require to be told that :its pages are filled with the choice productions of the English press. The establishment has lately passed into new hands, who are determined that nothing shall be spared to add to the already brilliant reputation of the journal. The agent of the advertising department will be here for a short season, and those wishing to subscribe can do so through him, or at 505 Chestnut street, where the engravings can be seen. A TRIBUTE TO TELE MARTYRS OF OUR rpr:STRY.-A mural tablet, finely executed in marble, by E. Greble, Esq., seven feet by three and a half, and embracing the names or ErinurEEN young men from Old Pine street Congregation, who fell in the late con flict, will be set up at four o'clock to-mor row afternoon, in the vestikule of the Old Church, corner of Fourth and Pine streets. The'Mayor and several other distinguished gentlemen are expected to take part in the services: to which the public are invited. SALE OF "RUGGLES GEMS."-Mr. Rug gles, the excellent artist, whose little cabinet pictures are so popular, is about to sail for Europe, and he has commissioned Mr. B. Scott, Jr., to sell, at his Art Gallery, No, 1020 Chestnut street, a number of his beau tiful gems. The sale will take place to morrow evening, and in the meantime the pictures are on exhibition. Among them are the best we have evtr seen painted by Mr. Ruggles. • Facts and Fatecies. Mr. Banks got off the following "fancy" in Congress on Saturday: "And the first railway that wended its sluggish and heavy foot over the Rocky Mountains, with the unearthly harmony of the steam calliope, would chant the praises of the solid men of Boston until Enceladus, the son of earth, should stir in his mighty cavern." No cards. Eight years' steady devotion to the wash tub has enabled a good woman in La Crosse to build three good houses, and put away a neat little pile of Government bonds. She can't get the grass to grow in front of her houses because...she insists on keeping her laundry. A gentleman in Deerfield, ?!ass., has an old Indian burial-ground in the rear of his house, and it is said of him that when he has a dinner party at his house he enter tains his guests after dinner by inviting them to the home lot and digging up an old Indian, very much after the style of the King of Naples, who uncovers a house in Pompeii. A• dinner of that sort might be briefly described as "Indian meal." "How do you define 'black as your hat?" said a schoolmaster to one of his pupils. "Darkness that may be 'felt," replied the youthful wit. A ship made entirely of cork has arrived at Mobile. Her motive power is a cork's crew. When Admiral Farragut was offered by Secretary Welles more force thah he thought he needed, the old sea-dog quaintly replied, "I never want anything but cats to catch mice." Trichinosis first made its appearance in Europe in 1531. It was then called the Diet of Worms. CHOLERA BELOW NEW YORX, &C.—Says to-days Herald: The cholera is fast abating at the Lower Quarantine. No deaths have taken place nor additional cases received on board the hospital ship Falcon since Friday last : and all on board are reported to be in 'a fair way of recovery. The British steamship Erin, Captain Cut ting, from Liverpool via Queenstown, ar rived at this port yesterday with eleven hundred and eighty passengers, of whom twenty were in she first cabin. The Erin reports four deaths on the passage—the causes not mentioned. She belongs to the same line as the England and Virginia. CormsoATiow proceedings in the United States District Court at Jacksonville, Flo rida, have been stopped by an order from President Johnson. All the property of the rebels now in the possession of the govern ment authorities will be immediately m otored. °Mt - MI - 10LE COUNTRY THE ACADEMY OF.THE FINE' amis. The Annual Exhibition of ISO. We resume oar notes of some of the works on exhibition at the Academy: . No. 640, Morning on the Conemaugh, W. B. Wilcox.- We have closely observed this picture in our various visits to the Academy in the endeavor to seize some points-of merit that would give evidence of the artist's usual ability. Candidly, our search, has been in vain. The work can neither be praised as good, nor blamed as decidedly bad. It is tantalizingly mediocre. We have had proofs of this artist's ability , in former exhibitions. Why has he failed this time? Let us add that we should be delighted to have an oppoftunity of giving Mr. Wilcox the moat favorable critique that we are ca pable of writing. A fine effective picture, by Whittridge, occupies a distinguished position in the ex hibition. The dying light of day breaking thrqugh the foliage of the forest trees; the nieflow effect of the sky, and the winding of the glittering river in the far distance, are all worthy of admiration; and yet, had a more careful treatment of the foreground been adopted (tot, however, to interfere with the general effect), we have no hesita tion in saying that an immense improve ment would have rewarded the artist's ad ditional labor. "Disappointed" is the subject of a fair contribution by Carl Hoff. The principal figure is a young girl, gazing sorrowfally from the porch of her cottage, upon the marriage procession of a former lover, who has of course proved faithless. The paint ing of the girl is less successfully treated than the accessories. We infer from the fact that the words "for sale" are used in the catalogue that others besides the aban doned maid have been disappointed in con nection with the subject under considera tion. No. 626, Portraits, (Group of Children) W. K. Hewitt. Tht qualities that distinguish the works of this artist are most admirable: Firmness of touch, exceeding richness in the flesh tints, accuracy of drawing—all these are to be found in the portrait group that hangs above Whittridge's contribu tion. We are indeed pleased to be able to conscientiously compliment the creator of such meritorious productions. Mr. Milne Ramsey is especially represented in No. 653 and No. 701, "Still Life." They are the best specimens of Mr. Ramsey's ability that wehave vet seen, the latter being re markably gocd. As an example of grape painting it is (to speak emphatically,) hard to beat. The Echo (Home, Sweet Home), is a large picture by A. F. Bellows of New York. There are many traits of great beauty in this conception, the painter haying evidently entered thoroughly into the spirit and feel ing of the subject. The quiet calmness of the lake, the graceful foliage of the trees in the middle distance, and the everlasting glory of the far-off mountains crowned with rlimlita of mellow sunlight, combine to make a most attractive picture. The plea sure we derive from its contemplation ren ders us averse to fault-finding, and yet, we cannot refrain from criticising a certain wooliness and indecision of touch that mar the general effect. N. 740, in the same gallery, is by Henri etta Bonner. The charming simplicity of the subject, together with its admirable technical qualities, render it very popular. No. 755, by T. J. Fenimore, is ono of the best landscapes that we have seen by him. The atmospheric effect is not quite as sue ceesful as we could wish, being a little too cold in general tone. Apart from this, it is a creditable work of art. Mr. Gerlach, who is a young German, lately from Dusseldorf, contributed two works to this collection. The committee, not content with taking the pictures in, thought it proper, in consideration of his being a stranger among us, to serve the art ist in the same way, and most effectually have they succeeded, both his productions being hung so high that their merits are totally lost in the dim distance of the posi tions they respectively occupy. Mr. Ger lach intends taking up his abode perma nently in our city and deserved a better fate than the one he received. The landscapes we speak of are numbered 756 and 5:58 in the catalogue. We cannot omit the mention of Miss Mary Smith's pleasing little chicken pictures. They are so generally popular that the art public will be pleased to learn that two of her best realizations have good places in the northeast gallery. Some quiet lovely little renderings of na ture, by N.anthns Smith, attract deserved attention. We admire the spirit in which they are executed, and expect great things from this prominent young artist. The Snow Scenes, by V. de V. Bonfield, are exceedingly' true to nature. They are among the pictures we have specially marked in our catalogue, in order that upon each visit we may not forget to pay our re spects to the contributions of an artist whose talent equals his modesty. The Thracian Archer (whose accuracy of eye was so great that when contemplating the assassination of a king, be fearlessly in scribed upon his arrow, "The right eye of Philip!") could not in his palmiest days have excelled thejustness of our aim In sending the friendly shafts of criticism against many little negligenoes that have rendered the Academy of Pine Arts useless to that class for whose aid and protection it was specially founded, namely, Pennsyl vania artists. New Jersey Matters. A LULL.—A lull seems to have taken place in reference to the proposed changes in the Go vernment incumbents in Camden, the matter having gone about as far as it can until Congress ratifies the appointments of the new nonsinees.__The great alm. and object seems to have been the removal of Mr. Porter, clerk under Mr. Sharpe, Internal Revenue Collector. by James M. Scovel, in consequence of a personal dislike, the redoubtable James, the Lees, has entertained for some time. As Mr. Sharpe refuses to remove him. and the probability is that the Senate will not confirm a successor to Mr. Sharpe, as well as the Postmaster here, it is very evident some time will elapse before Mr. Soo Nel can carry out to the letter the terms of his bargain and Bale with the Copperheads at Washirgton. A. number of prominent gentlemen, be: longing to the Union Party, have gone to Washington, where the entire animus of Scovel will be explained, and his duplicity unveiled. BOYS BEWABE.—For a long time past a gang of rudeand disorderly boys have bean in the habit of visitinif Camden on Sunday for the purpose of playing ball. %hey commit all kinds of depredations, knocking palings off fences, &c., and using the most profane language. They. bring bottles of liquor with them and are often intoxicated. Ths police are de termined to put a stop to this violation of the Sabbath, and have, In Bevel al Instances, enforced the ordinance against it. On Sunday afternoon, about thirty arrests were made, and the old cityjail last night was pretty well filled with these offenders. This morning the Mayor imposed a line on them, and gave them some good advice, which it is to be hoped will be of future service to them. THE COIIRTB.—The May term of the Camden County Courts commence tomorrow, Judge Woodhull presiding.

One man who had a revolver in his hand, discharged one barrel at the officer nearest to him, but fortunately the shot did not take effect. This man was secured and his weapon taken away. Another appeared with a huge hammer, but was, without difficulty, disarmed. Others came out and were taken into custody, Two were found hidden at the top of the building. under the roof. Nine were thus taken prisoners. One of those criminateffi by his assault and resistance on Thursday was seen to pass on a train for the city, and wan arrested at the West Philadelphia 'depot. notice having been telegraphed to the station. These despe rate men were brought to this city, and were com mitted by Commissioner Smith on Saturday night for a further hearing. The man arrested on the cars was Richard Lonndes, who is alleged to be one of the pro prietors of the factory. THE PROPOSE]) NEW WATER WORKS.— Mayor McMichael, Chief Engineer Eirkenbine, the Water Committee of City .Councits. and others, paid a visit to Perkiomen Creek last week, in connection with the proposition to establish a new works to sure ply the city with water. The parte had a special train on the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad. furnished by air. Wilson, the superintendent, and from Norristown went in carriages, The site for the proposed dam on the Perkiomen creek Is at a point where the stream passes between two hills,three hundred and fifty feet high. The width of the dam wouldbe about eleven hundred feet and its - height about sixty-five feet. The water which would be "backed" or retained in the dam would' extend back into the country for a distance of about six miles. and would nectssearily submerge a number of dweillags and mills and some value ble farm land By an act of Assembly, passed at the last session of the Legislature, provision was madeby which this property could be taken at an appraisement, sanctioned by the Mont gomery County Courts. The quantity of water to be retained Iv the dam is estimated at over five thousand million gallons, and the area covered would be fifteen hundreo acres. In Philadelphia the water could be delivered at an elevation et line feet a`ove the Corin thian avenue reservoir, and seventy-five feet higher than Fairmount. The route ()film aqueduct is not deter- m ined, audit might either be built down the valleys of the Perkiomen and the Schuylkill, or by a route striking Fort Washington, down the Wksahickon creek. The dam, when full is calculated to hold enough water to supply the city of Philadelphia for about two hundred days. The cost of the entire work, at a sough calculation, would be ten million dollars.
