A NOVEL AND UNIQUE FEATURE,
THE THREE 'LIONS
In addition to the MOUNT VERNON Papers,
by the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, the NEW
YORK LEDGER; dated Feb. 5, to bo issued in
this oity TO MORROW (Tuesday)' MORNING,
Will contain ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS from
the editors of the threo leading daily journals of
Now York city-rnamely, James Gordon Bennett,
Eiq., the veteran editor of the Herald; the Hon.
Horace Greeley, of the Tribune? and Lieutenant
Governor Raymond, of the Times.
From the pen of Mr. Bennett we have four ’fu
gitive'poems, pioked out from' among his loose
papers, just a&Jhcy were written thirty and forty
yoars ago. We are quite proud being able to
S resent to the publio the only original oontrlbu
ons furnished by that most, remarkable man to
any other paper than his own, sinoe the Herald
,was . first started, more than twenty years ago.
We are under the deepest obligations to Mr. Ben
nett for fhis marked act of kindness, for whioh he
has peremptorily refused all pecuniary compensa
tion—compelling us, in spite ofthaf onaraotoristlo
diffidence whioh has weU nigh been tho ruin of us,
from our youth up, to regard it; as a generous
tribute to modest merit, and to euruntiring efforts
toward improving the standard of weekly journal-,
ism in this country.
The article by Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune,
was written oxpresslv for our columns. It is ad
dressed to that very' large olass of young men in
the country who desire to seek their 'fortune in
the Mty, akd is full of sound and wholesome
vioe. In furnishing this' contribution' to the Led
ger Mr. Greeley is merely oarrying out, practi

Bonner’s Next Card—A Union of Journal*

the publio forget him; he has hardly playod out
one trump before another is produced equally cal*
culated to'awaken surprise. Having, by his do
nation of $lO,OOO to the Mount Vernon Fund, al«
lured Mr. Everett into the ranks of his contribu
tors, he h&B tried his seduotlve arts with the same
suciesa on subjects atilt loss susceptible. In other
words, Mr. Bonnets paper, to be issued on Mon*

the prominent rival journalists of the New York
daily press—namely, Bennett, of the Herald, Gree*

who have been induced—for at least one week—
to lay aside their long-standing hostilities and
write for the Now York Ledger. Bennett fur
nishes four poems—one of them an effusion of
youthful sentiment, entitled “ An Angel’s Smile,”
another an apostrophe. “To Mary Ann; ” Greeley,
a Characteristic article in prose, urging unem

Before Bonner’s last great card, Everett, was play
ed out, h.e has announcod more distinguished oards,
a whole paok indeed, who will spread themselves
in tbe.next issue. Greeley, Bennett, Raymond,
havO‘joined the ranks with Cobb, Fern, South*

Evorett. “to write for the Ledger.” It fairly
takes- the breath away to think of it; we have
warcely th&e to ask what next? and then Bonnet
will astonish us with another batch of celebrities.
We should not be surprised to hear, after ho has
secored the sorvicos of all the remarkable, dis
tinguished, and talented peoplo on'this side of the
water—including ourselves—he has sent an agent
to Europe, and engaged Dlokens, Lord Palmerston,
Disraeli, tho Emperor Napoleon Omer Pasha, and
King Bomba, to forward weekly contributions to
the Ledger. But if Bonner is thus allowed to ab
sorb all the talent in oreation, what is to become
.of tho balance of thenowspaper press? Literature
beoomes a vast monopoly, all the light of the ago
bolng concentrated in the oolumns of the Ledger,

knocks the Everett business sky-high, sir ! sky

The vexed question as to'when that particular
“ three ” should “ meet again ” will be definitely
settled next Monday, when Bennett will “ do ”

it is now supplied. We predict for* next week’s

Bonner’s Last Card,— The Ledger, to be is

the .New York press—namely, Bennett of the

Piceolomini in Washington:
Wasuinoton, Friday.—“ -Within tbomamo
ry of the oldest inhabitant,*' name unknown;
there has hot been more excitement here, I am
told by everybody,than on tho occasion of Plo
colomini’s expected appearance at a concert.
;It came off, last night, in tho pretty bnnd-box
of a theatre;and there was a great furore as,
to tho purchase' of tickets. ' Prices ranged
from two dollars and a 'half to one dollar. , Tho
last-named amount obtained only a.standing;
place. As the thcatro.contains abont 700 pe
rsons, nearly $1,400 was,taken. , Two,days be
fore all tbe seats were engaged:
The house was filled, but not inconveniently
crowded, by the elite and beauty of -Washing
ton. Knowing what that is, yon will’under
stand, of course, thatthere was a brilliant as
semblage—the ladles’ eyes ontflashlng their
gems, brilliant as they were. Lord Napier
arid his interesting wife attended, and so
did the rest of the corps diplomatique . It was
highly, entertaining, to notioe tho great num
ber of persons whom Lord papier contrived
to iiterchange words with,dn a-minimum
amount of tipjo.., How.quietly he glided from,
placo to place,-smi{ingso blandly upon all and
uttering agraeftblo compliments to each indi.
vidual in. the. most gentle manner—compli
ments which, in their manner rather than their
matter, gratifled the amour propre. His Lord
ship breathes them sotio voce, and then retires,
with an inexpressible regretful look.
Talking of one diplomatist roinindg one of
another. Among the crowd was tho renowned
Mr. Wikoff, who had just arrived, and is in.
wonderful, preservation, personally. To my
eye ho seemed a year or two younger than
whon I last saw him. Some men.aro always
getting younger, and so continue—until they
go into, second childhood. But Wikoff is un
doubtedly,ln his prime. Tho cut of his whis
kers, the subdued tone of bis costume, the
confidential manner of his conversation, the
pococurante character of his address, arid, to
crown all,.the. affectation of hesitancy in his
mode of talking,, are, if possible, a shade more
English than heibre—which, I doubt not, is
the great ambition of his mind: He seems
overburdened with thought—as if all the Ca
binets of the universe (including China and
Japan) were at loggerheads, and that only one
man—Henry Wikoff, to wit—had a right to
say:
“ The times are cut of joint! oh dieadfnl spite,
That ever I was bom to set them right I ’ ’
Apropos of TYikoffi—l bare to add that
YYashington high life is on the flash of expec
tation on account of a distinguished visitor.
No loss a' personage than Mrs. James Gordon
Bennett, ot the .New York Meral/L is ojtpootßd
neroitext week".
Como back with me to the concert;. A
stout, middle-aged Italian, sang a romanza, to
which nobody paid tho leakt attention. Mdlle.
Gbioni sang, tho “Grace,” from' Robert le-
Diable, with exquisite judgment and lino voico.
Nobody minded her'. Then Maggiorotti (tho
stout Signor above mentioned) led on the
Ficcolomini.
She was received with applause, but not
much. Her singing of a duet with Maggio
rotti, in'which her dramatic effects wore ex
cellent, was listened to with rapt attention,
and many a smlio Was elicited by her liveli
ness j but, though recalled, at tho conclnsion
of the piece, and even complimented with a
boquet from tho fair hands (I think) of pretty
Miss Clayton, the accomplished daughter of
the Assistant. Secretary of the Treasury,
” Who .earns to flitter
Muklnd with hor dark eyes, for looking at her,”
the audience had not made up their minds as
to hor quality, as a singer. In plain words,
she was not encored. In a duet with Madllo.
Ghioni, from the “ Nozze de Figaro," she
was encored. And again in that beautiful “ I
dreamt that I dwelt,” by Balfe. The second
time, she substituted one of Moore’s Irish
Melodies. She ooncluded with tho brindui
item « La TraViata,” with Mr. Porrinjj, thb
Englißh tenor. A violinist, named lYollen
haupt, who played with surpassing execution,
received the honor of the first encore.
‘ Ton may ask, what was tho general im
pression of tho Piccolomini ? I would answer
thus, the gentlemen admire her youth, good
looks, plump fignro, and genoral improssion.
The ladies formed very mnch the same im
pression—except that they were not unani
mous about hot beauty. Some declared that
her complexion, which (like a popular book)
was red all over, was a little too high. Some,
that her face was teo full. Others that she
had no intolloctual expression. Nearly all
affirmed that “ the born Princess” (as Mr.
"Willis slyly nicknamed her) had not much of
what could bo called a voice, but that she
was astonishingly adroit in covering her short
coming, that way, by a number of protty little
coquetries, at which ‘ one could not help
smiling, and amid which it was forgotten, for
the nonce, that she had not even attempted
to exeento the difficult and trying passagos.
It was admitted, too, that seldom has melo
dious song gushed forth from a prettier pair
of lips, (small, yot full,) and that never had
vocalist so mnch of tho rare art of singing
without grimacing. Upon my word, I think
that Maria piccolomini Is handsomor whon
she sings than When her features are in re
pose, Perhaps this may bo owing to the fact
that the expression of her eyes does not ex
actly suit tho expression of her other features,
and that, when she sings, there is moro of har
mony betwoon them.
As for her voico, it really is very small.
She uses it without a single sympathetie ut
terance. She seems to enjoy /«n, and to fool
that grave reoitativo does not suit her.
Her English songs were irresistible. She
evidently knew, as well as her audience, that
she was making a terrible moss with tho Eng
lish language, and sho as evidently enjoyed
the fun. From first to last she sang at one
particular private box, occupied by Miss Lano
and Mrs. Craig, under companionship of Mr.
Stephens, of Georgia. All through tho eve
ning she sang to that box. To it her eyes
turned when she came in; to it they were
directed whon she went off the stage, in a
sort of hop-skip-and-jump manner.
She was attired, with much taste, in a pink
silk trimmed with laoe, and had tho good tasto
and good sonse to avoid the error into which
poor Frezzolini fell, —viz : of covering herself
with jewels. Tho ladies, I suspect, lamented
that hor dress was not so short hs was Mdlle.
Ghioni’s. You know, oi course, that there is
a suspicion that tho Piccolomini has Italian
feet, which, travellers tell us, are none of tho'
smallest. The young lady would not “ put hor
foot in it,” —for sho evaded impertinent curi
osity, by wearing hor dress very long. So tho
audience were unable to seo asjnuch of hor
as they deßired.
. Many persons remarked that the Piccolo
mini much resembled that very charming and
interesting young lady,Mrs. Daniel E. Sickles,
Of NejV York, who, by tho way, is of Italian
descent/I confess that the resemblance struck
myielf, but I also thought that tbe comparison
wag delicately flatteririg toPiccoloriiini, as, be
tsldes Mrs. Sickles not having so roUnd a face,
it . is- full of intellect, while the slngor’s ex
hirijts scarcely any mind. Indeed, it Us
noticeable that' great f emale vocalist somotimes
■can do nothing hut sing.’ For instance, Mrs.
'Wood and .Guiletta Grisi.
’ ' Talking of handsome women, let me notice
a’few whom I recognised. There was Miss
-Lane, oharming in looks and attire, who ap
poafs in the White House, like a beautiful
sylriau nymph, put,into the most becoming of
modern and fashionable costume. Accompa
riyidg her was dark-eyed Mrs. Craig, of
Georgia, graceful and Intellectual enough, to
pass for a Tenth Mnse. I have already named
blooming Miss Saunders (Step-daughter of
Postmaster-General Brown), who must have
greatly enjoyed the evening, for she is herself
an- accomplished musician. There, with, her
winning grace and classical features, was Mrs!
Secretary Thompson. There, with the , most
attractive manner in the world, was Mrs. Sen
ator Thompson. ■ There—quite near the
stage-vwaa charming Miss McGnire, who
the pianoforte ail bnt sing. There
was Mrs. J; D. Hoover; enjoying tho concert,
and looking her admiration of pretty Piccolo
mini—herself dressed with exquisite and deli
cate tasto. Why,.however, should I go on?
Lot me riot; appear to intrude on the province
'of,-“»lenkms,” who chronicles and catalogues
l/dios’dresses with such minuteness of detail
thattiie inevitable conclusion is that he was
educatod in the store of some marchante des
'moifs/i'. Enough to add that the ladies : of the
Cabiribt and oi both Houses’ wore' generally
present.
Shat Queen of Hearts, the lively Mrs. Sena
tor Douglas, was not present, I believe—at
least, if she were, I did riot see her, and could
scarcely have missed, one who is so much.” the
cynosure of neighboring eyes.” '
;. There was an idea of presenting Piccolo
niini here in a petite opera on Monday even
ing:;. It is said that Miss Davenport, who com
mences a star-engagement here on Monday,
after, five years’ absence, was' indisposed to
give np her opening night for the advantage
of Mr. Uilman and “the born I
aia sure I should not Marne Miss Davenport,
who hash right to look rifter her own interests.
She is a great favorite here, personally as well
aS-prCfossionaliy, and she will fill the theatre,
if any. one can, amid the gaiety and number of
agreeable parties.
Meanwhile, Piceolomini went off to Rich
mond this morning, and Was unable to pay
her respects to Mr. Buchanan, and * receive
from him (what she would greatly prize, no
donbt,) that paternal kiss which It is the plea
surable duty of the Executive to bestow
upon the ripe lips of graceful Womanhood.'
I woridor if he would agree to appoint a depu
ty, without salary, to perform tho duties of
this Salutatory Department for him ? If so,
there, will be hundreds of applicants. • The
general impression hore is that Piceolomini
is not so good a singer by a great deal as Pau
llne'Colson. Not tho voice,
at ail equal to Colson’s. But thff jtiscination
of manner, the pretty trick of art, thoploa
sant glancing, the winning coquetry—those
&ti) all peonliarly.Picoolominian attributes.
I / Enlre i nous. I suspect that, having once
seen. “ the Princess,” the Washington pub:
lie have already frilly gratifled their curiosity.

. Tfalffootfihmen of New Vork are making vlgor
brethren in
Boston, in the proposedoelebratioifmhonor of the
centenary of Barns. It bad been arranged that
the .festival hero should bo presided over by Wash*
Ington Irving; bat the advanced age and delloate
health of that gentleman'ttil! preclude him from
venturing forth from that repoße at Walfert’s
Boost, which ho fools to be indispensable for him.
The position it was intended ho shoald ocoapy
will) nevortholoss, bo not anworthily filled. The
post of honor has been tendered to, and aooepted
by, William Callen Bryant, who possesses great
toot for saoh occasions, t loath that every ticket
for the dinner was disposed of two weeks ago. The
arrangements are confided to the hands of gentle
men whose social dnd intellectual position are too
exalted to admit of any apprehension of failure.
Huntington, ohe of the most distinguished of
American artists, has recently returned from
Rome, and resumed the exeroise of his brash, in
his old studio in Appleton’s building, Broadway,
“tohabod Crane,” dpe of his latest and best pit
tures, is now on exhibition in London.
A year or two ago, Mr. William P. Wright, a
gentleman of fortune, ordered on separate oan*
vases, a series'of large piotares, representing the
ominont artists, authors, merchants, and soientifio
men of this country. The pictures are progressing
slowly. Hioks, who has the literary group, has
made his design, and sketched it upon a large
canvas. The oth§r artists employed were fiossi*
ter, Huntington and Baker. Rospiter is at work
on his part, but Huntington and Baker are so busi
ly engaged on other works, that thoy have been
compelled to defer or decline tlie task.
The Kane Monument Association are likely to
accomplish something that will be creditable to
the publlo spirit of the The series of
leoturcs about to ie commenced in aid of the
fund are sure to be a great success. The dosign
of the monument is committed to Thomas Hicks,
an artist worthy of the position, and he will re
ceive the aid and oouneel of such artists as Elliott,
Kensott, Rembrandt Peale, Rossltor, and Hun
tington. Many mttnlfloont donations have already
been made to the Association, among which may
bo mentioned $3,000 worth of stone, for the base
of the monument, prosonted by Mr. 0. D. Archi
bald, brother of the British oonsul at thi£ port,
and president of a large stono quarry oompany in
Nova Scotia, that stono being regarded as the best
on this continent.
Weir has painted for Williams, Stovens, & Wil
liams, who are now having it engraved in the
highest style of art, aploturo of the Embarkation
of tho Pilgrims. It will soon bo finished.
Tho ground on whioh stiiads tho La Fargo
House, one of tho most spaoious hotels of the city,
was formerly owned by Louis Philippe, but is
said to havo reverted, through tho late Duohess
of Orleans, to the-Oount of Paris, a natty young
oh&p, who may yet live to enjoy the misery of be
ing monarch of Franae. The hotel is now kept by
Henry Wheeler, and is a favorite resort of gen
tlemen from the South.
The veteran fogies of the old Amerioan Insti
tute, whose peounlary affairs were so sadly dam
aged by the Crystal Palace fire, last yoar, refuse
to give up tho ghost, but propose to peck their
flints and try again. On Thursday lost thoy
eleoted a set of officers, eloven of whom aro new
men, the remaining thirteen, old follows. Thoy
have before them a splendid field for effort in suc
cessfully competing with the new organisation of
inventors, whoso first exhibition is now opened in
the large building near Laura Keene’s theatre.
Bonner, the great, has another sensation just
roady to he exploited. His next paper is to con
tain four original poems from James Gordon Ben
nett, of tho Herald ; an artiole from Horace Gree
ley, addressed to young mou of the oountry who
desire to seek tholr fortune in the oity, and a con
tribution from Henry J. Raymond, of tho Times,
giviog a reminisoonce of his recent European tour
—all of which will appear for the first time in the
Ledger. A few papers have given indioations of
early spring in attempting to depredate tho series
of papers Mr. Everett is contributing to the Led
ger. A more exquisite series, thus far, has never
appeared in any Amerioan journal. As specimens
of scholarship, delioooy of thought, refinod humor,
and elegance of diotion, they will compare favora
bly with anything Mr. Everett has done.
como little fluttering has been oocaslonod at
Albany by a resolution offerod by a patriotic gen
tleman who appears to bo exorcised about the
amount of fees received by the sheriff and the
oounty olerk of the oity and county of New York;
but when our pluoky young Representative, Mr.
Ohanler, proposed to extend the inquiry so as to
ascertain the nmount of “unclean drippings’* that
find their rostlng place in the pockets of the
health officer and other Republican officials, it
was thought the inquiry wouldn’t he convenient;
so, for the present, the resolution reposes peace
fully on tho table. The health offioo is a gorgeous
thing—yielding any quantity of thousands, from
Bixty to one hundred. Compared to it, the sheriff
alty is an eleemosynary affair, worth only tho pal
try sum of fifty thousand a year, while the oounty
olerkship is a disgusting place, fit only to be filled
by what Amos Kendall oallcd “ a Government

In the Senßte, - yesterday, Mr. Ttirney urged
through the bill abolishing the Canal Commission
,ers and. State Engineer. He stated, upon un
doubted authority, that certain parties having an
eye to the proposed opening for claim-adjustment,
after the abolition of the board, and having -no
regard for honesty, were new bringing forth ini
quity, in the shape ef rotten claims and' rascally
eenoeettons. Hence he moved to strike ririt all
that part of the bill providing for the settlement
of olaimß, and so ohange the phraseology as to make
it gointo effect at onoe, instead of February 10th
next. This proposition was agreed to, with the
npderstanding that there would be a separate bill
covering the examination and adjustment of
claims. The aot as amended passed unanimously
and was sent to the House for ooneurrenoe. Mr.'
Turney deserves credit for his zoal in this imme

We have been favored vrith a copy of the
following private letter from Commodore La-
Valletta, fiag-ofiloer commanding the United States
naval force in the Mediterranean, whioh will be
read with interest i ■
U. S S. Wabash, Genoa, Deo. 18,1858.
Mr Dear Sir: I perceive that those who have
written from the Mediterranean for the newspa
pers at home within the last three or four months,
have kept you advised of the movements of oar
squadron; hut there are a great many points of
interest not noticed by them, some of whioh would
no doubt be edifying to you..
W ith out visit to Constantinople I was very muoh
pleased. It was peculiarly gratifying ,td meet
with so oordial a welcome from Admiral Me l
hemmed Pasha, whose acquaintance I had mado
in the United States, and the marked attention of
the Sultan and his ministers, as welt as my most
agreeable intoroouxse with our.minißter, Mr. Wil
liams, and Consul General Brown, rendered the
visit pleasant in all reipeots.
Tho consideration with which we woro enter
tained by the high authorities of Constantinople
was'not unknown at Rhodes, Cyprus, Beyrout,
Tripoli, Jaffa,-Jerusalem, ana Alexandria, when
the Wabash afterwards arrived at those plaoeS, for
it had been Communicated in tho heitsjtapers] if
not by written despatches, and when we readied
thereat with tho view of carrying out important
iostructions that I had reoeivod from, the Navy
Department, it was clearly apparent that the re
ception whioh had been bo ornamental at the Turk
ish, oapital was exceedingly useful to us in the
other parts of the Empire.
, While, however, Cut visit to the Turkish Em
piro was so gratifying, I assure you that We ex
perienced no less pleasure upon the oeoseion of a
visit lo the island of Malta, on returning toward
our more western hounds.
On the morning of the 10th November, as the
Wabash steaffied slowly up tho main harbor of
Malta, British navy of&oefs attached to the fleet
at anohor there, under the dotfimatid of Vice Ad
miral Fanshaw, eamO alongside In their boats ahd
conducted us to huoys prepared in tho best anchor
age whioh the magnificent harbor of Valletta
afforded. After an intefdmnge of national salutes
and a few exohanges of official visits, invitations
to dinners, balls, Ac., &0., began to pour in Upon
us, not only from our naval friends attoohed to the
Marlborough, the Princess Royal, the Centaur,
and the Conqueror, at fcnoHtfr there, hut from the
Governor ana General of the forces on Shofe. < All'
tho commissioned officers of the Wabash cordially
aooepted these hospitalities for a week, hut had, of
oourso. nd opportunity to roturn them. Indeed,
on the evening we left three dr four invitations for
the next day hod to be deolinod with regrdt.
I have always thought that no poople in the
'world are so eager in tne dispensation of their hos
pitalities to those whom they like as our own
oountrymep, bat I must confess that our good cou
sins of Great Britain are quite an even match for
us; they know how to treat thqir friends as well
as .they know how to treat their enemies.
Lady Lo Morcllant’s ball,pt the ancient Palace
of the Templars was a brilliant affair, and as I
happen to hear tho family name of the distin
guished founder of Valetta, whose gallant deeds
are celebrated upon the canvas that adorns the
palatial halls, the lady as well as her distinguish
ed husband paid mo many marks of attention.
Sir Gasper Lo Marobant is entitled to great
oredit as Governor of Malta, not only on aooount
of his wise governmental polioy, but on account
of his great diligence in striving to restore the
anoient Palace of the Templars to its former gran*
would havo been gratifying to mo and all the
offioors of tho Wabaih, if it had been possible to
return the hospitalities of our Malta friends, but
they would not so much as give us an opportunity
to do so without dishonoring their own genefous
cards from day to day. We could only salute them
and play God f3ave the Queen , by a full baud,
whenever it was proper to do so, but they ®wer
failed to glvo us gun for gun and to play Hail
Columbia moat vigorously whenever their bands
appeared on deck.
The compliments whioh have been paid our
beautiful frigate wherever wo havo been were al
ways acceptable, but at no place have they been
so highly flattering to our national and professional
pride os at Malta. British offioers called upon us,
and expressed their admiration of the frigate in
all her appointments. The Admiral sent the
younger officers and seamen with special instruc
tions to examine her olosoly from stem tOßtern.
Tho verdict of the port was that the ship is in
truth a first-rate man of war.
Whon we left the harbor of Valetta, the decks
of all the shipping in port were thronged to wit
ness our exit, their bands playing Hail Colum
bia and ours God Save the Queen , as we steamed
slowly out of tho harbor, and in posaingNavy Bapr
Admiral Godrington and his lady came out in bis
boat te see us pass and wave us a kind adieu, with
hat and handkerebiof, the tune of Aula Lang
Syne played from the band of his flagship dying
in the distance upon our oar. ‘ . ~
I think it justly due to our friends at Malta,
who havo received us with so many marks of con
sideration, that their friendly disposition to our
national ship abroad should bo made known to our
countrymen at home, by whom they will bo as
highly appreciated as they are by us, and I
would therefore stato that you are at liberty to
oommunioate the substance of this letter to some
of your good friends connected with the press.
I am, truly, your friend,
E. A. F. Layallettn.

1 “ For several days publlo opinion has been agitated
by alarming reports whioh’it Is tho duty of Govern

diplomatic' relations authorises the fears which those
reports tend to provoke.”.

and he asserts beyond a doubt that whatever turn
events might take, the French army of Italy was
