" Dlr. President," said he, "allow me to present to you my friend, the Rev.

The President shook hands with Mr. F., and desiring him to be stated, took a seat himself. Then—his countenance having as sumed an expression of patient waiting—he said: "I am now ready to hear what you have to say. , "Oh, bless you, sir," said Mr. F., "I have nothing especially to say. I merely called to pay my re spects to you, and, as one of the million, to assure you of my hearty sympathy and support." "My dear sir," said the President, rising promptly—his face showing instant relief, and with both hands grasping that of his visitor, "I nm very glad to see you ; lam very glad to see you, indeed.

Duncan, a young SouthParolinian, who has been appointed American consul at Baden. Mr. Fay says: "When our great rebellion broke out there was in Berlin a young South Carolinian, Mr. B. 0. Duncan, completing his scientific studies. He was suddenly reduced to the alternative of either returning home to join his State In its treasonable course, or ad hering to the North at the sacrifice, as he supposed, of all his prospects in life, to say nothing of his re mittances. lie did not hesitate, but instantly took his position, and has remained nn open defender of the North, with his tongue and pen, although I do not believe his native State has a single citizen more earnestly attached to her, or more ready to sacrifice his life for her true interests. "I understood several other South Carolinians in Europe have shown the same enlightened and con scientious sense of duty as Mr. Duncan, and the names of certain distinguished men, yet in South Carolina, have been mentioned who would now, if they could, and will, when they can, follow the same example." The Empress Eugenie has given the Parisian world a new subject of conversation. At a recent dinner she wore a train of pink-and-white-striped moire, and the whole set of ornaments of pink coral, which has been regarded as one of the greatest cu riosities of our time. The set is now complete, hav ing been obtained, by dint of perseverance, from every source, and collected far and near. The neck lace alone is a marvel, being composed of the bombes or big bead of a number of necklaces—thus forming a row of the largest bends known in the world.

The Empress Eugenie, at the opening of the Boulevard, was sumptuously enveloped in the fa mous gold shawl. Her Majesty wore with this splendid envelope a gray silk dress, in the very, best taste, to correct that of the over•brilliant effect pro duced by the glittering and kaleidoscopic changes of color produced by the sunlight upon the shawl. An immense width of skirt, with small fluted flounces, edged with narrow black and white lace, served to deaden the obtrusive glare of the bright gold; and a lovely bonnet, of transparent material, adorned with a wreath of white cock's feather., gave a quiet grace and simplicity to the head. —General Fleury has just addressed to theEmpe- Tor a report upon the condition of native horses in France, which he describes as having attained a very high degree of perfection.

Dull and dreary though it may have been, it IVHB the inauguration of all that was beautiful and bright. The black and toy thick-fold of winter has been passed. Deep snows and biting blasts may lie await in prospect, but the conven tional season of spring has come. How should Spring be pictured? Shall she be a bashful girl festooned with roses, and radiant with dew? Shall her mouth be redolent of melody, and her eyes reflective of the stars? Shall her sweet-veiled limbs be veined with delicate pulses, her trembling fingers touched with tender bloom? Or, shall Spring be a bay, half grown and stalwart, a sash of roses round his waist, and violets twined between his golden curls? Practically speaking, spring is the that of the four seasons. It commences on the first of March, and ends on the thirty tint of May. There is a legend connected with this season. The legend states upon the very beet authority, (not the Almanac, however), that March winds and April showers bring forth May—and so forth. The majority of people have no objection to either showers, occasionally, or flowersrbesides they rhyme very well. But thcy have a decided objection to March winds. That man is dust and unto dust will return, is a providential provision. But where Is the use of the duet con stantly reminding one of it? Itis flying in the face of Providence—and pedestrians also. Pleasure is only to be purchased by pain. Red blossoms are very pretty, but red eyes ain't. The same way with summer. Sun flowers may be tolerated, but sun strokes can't. If you want the sweet you must take the sour. If you want May flowers you must take April showers. Yet, Spring, however poor in her pre sent, Is rich in her future. Sweetness and strength, green buildings and ripe glory, the quintessence of winter and the essence of summer, the weariness of age and the joviality of youth, centre and concen trate themselves within her swelling breast. Her heart is beating to a tune of sweetness, her mouth is mellowed in the light of love; her brow is haloed with a bow of pro mise; her dainty limbs in misty folds are clad. But her breath ! She ought to have gone to a meteo rological dentist and had her eye tooth taken out; that, perhaps, would have improved it, The first breath of spring is not only unpleasant, it is also unwholesome. Spring initiates the season of serenading; but (considering March winds), under emoh circumstances, guitars and ca tarrhs go together. Thomson's "Seasons," contains perhaps more delicate allusions, more re fined sweetnesses in regard to this subject, than are to be found outside the English language. Cast ing aside, however, the prose of poetry and the po etry of prose, spring is the season of promise and of hopes, of strength and of sweetness; for, the adage tells us, it comes in like alien and goes out like a lamb. LECTURE. ON GA.IIIIIALDI BY MASON JOSrms.—On Saturday evening a lecture on Gari baldi was delivered at the Musical Fund Hall by Mason Tones, and was received with frequent ap plause by a crowded and intelligent audience. Mr. Jones is a young man of apparently thirty years of age, of medium stature, striking personal appear ance, remarkably large, lustrous, darkly-flashing eyes ; a sonorous voice, possessed of power enough to fill the largest edifice, and able to speak out with force which electrifies the audience. In his mode of addressing the public, Mason . Jones differs from every other orator whom we remember. He uses no theatrical gestures, makes no gyrations on the ros trum, nor resorts in any way to the rhodomontade of rhetoric. Speaking calmly and deliberately, with out any written aid, lie nevertheless enunciates with so much energy that the auditor has no option but to listen. The speaker commenced by recoil n ting the incidents of Garibaldi's early life, then proceeded to describe the Italian campaign, and related the particulars of the battle of the Volturno, as witnessed by himself. In the course of the lecture Mason Jones launched a philippic against Louis Napoleon, which was re ceived with tumultuous applause. The speaker referred to a conversation which he had had with Garibaldi on the subject of his success ful career as a military leader, in the course of which he said that great chieftain remarked : "If you want to do anything in this world, never take advice. In my past history' have made four great mistakes, and on each of those occasions I acted against my own judgment, and accepted of ad vice. In the future 1 never intend to take any ad vice, though I always get quantities of it, and get it gratuitously. My experience has taught me that it is generally worth the price paid for it" lie said,though Garibaldi was greatly , to be praised and admired, (and he thanked God for bringing suck a man into the world,) yet had, like the rest of us, his faults. He was deficient in one quality, which was most essential for every great military com mander. This was the utter absence of all talent for organization and discipline. Garibaldi's army was never anything better than a mob, though a very brave one. Anarchy and confusion reigned supreme. Everybody went, everywhere, and nobody obeyed anybody. Victory always preceded Gari baldi, while desolation was as sure to follow. As a military commander, Garibaldi 'could not, he thought, be compared with any one. He could not, the speaker was sure, pass a preparatory examina tion at West Point. He either never acquired the ordinary rules of tactics, or else wilfully disregarded them. In fact, like every man of genius, he made rules for himself, He placed his men on the battle -field in positions such as every other military com mander would condemn. Elaborate kinds of battles Garibaldi regarded as the greatest nonsense. He always held that the more complicated the plan the more easily was it opposed:. He never paused to consider disparity of numbers, or inequality of the ground. Re often waited for some slight mistake on the part of the officer in command of the opposing forces, or sought in some way to create a momentary panic among the enemy, when, with his genius, be would seize upon the Incident and make it the occasion of his victory. Common men were generals by rules, Garibaldi was a general by genius. His aim was chiefly to dazzle And confound, by the rapidity, daring, and sudden ness of his movements. Eastern officers said that they never knew where to find him. If they looked for him at one point he was sure to turn up at some other, where least expected. The cardinal point in Garibaldi's military creed was, that a leader who hoped to be successful must always be the attacking party. It was Garibaldi's firm conviction, that any general, no matter how great his ixnvers, who remained in his entrench ments, and waited to be attacked, was half defeated by that very act. [Enthusiastic app' lause.) Gen. Burnside has been subjected to a great deal of criticism, on account of his recent brilliant at tack upon the enemy at Fredericksburg. He was con vinced, from what he knew of Garibaldi's character, that if he had been placed in the position in which Gen. Burnside then was, he would have done pre cisely the same thing. [Vociferous applause.] Of all things in the world, it is the most ungene rous, most cowardly, and most contemptible to con demn an officer merely because he has failed. He believed that if Gen. Burnside had not been oppos ed, or thwarted by others, but allowed to follow out his own plan, and renewed the attack the next morning, he would have won the greatest victory of the war. [Loud and prolonged applause.] Speaking of the almost idolatrous attachment which the forces of Garibaldi had for him, he said one great reason of it was that this ~,o'reat leader manifested a special interest in the welfare of each individual under him. Be observed, in passing, that if any of our mili tary leaders desired to gain the affections of their men, they had only to show some sympathy for their sufferings, be frequent in their visits to the hos pitals, and display a simplicity in their mode of dress, style of living, and general conduct. As an evidence of Garibaldi's greatness, be refer red to the fact that he had, in a very short space of time, transformed the character of his whole people. A wonderful drama is shortly to be enacted in Europe. Although at present there is quietude and peace there, the acute observer can-discern the signs of the coming storm ; and when that storm does come, it will be one of the most terrific tempests of politi cal warfare that was ever witnessed in Europe. In that coming contest Garibaldi will ride over the winds and through the storm, as it were, in a halo of glory. [Applause.] Frances already becoming uneasy, and the rider sits uneasy in hie seat. The star of Napoleon is on its wane; and there is not a lover of liberty in France, or any other portion of Europe, who does not long for the moment when Garibaldi's stan dard shall float in the breeze with the proud words of "Liberty, and death to tyrants" emblazoned upon it. Then, if the nations of Europe were deserving of good government, they would get it, for he was In clined to the belief that a people always had as good a government as they deserved. Governments, like newspapers, were always indicative o f the character or the people, for both were made and supported by them. The orator terminated with a glowing description of Italy, which roused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. This evening, Mason Jones is to deliver his ora tion on "Curran and the Wits and Orators of the Irish Bar." " LANCERS."—Since this country has as sumed the situation that requires our maintaining a large army as a necessity, the subject of properly arming troops has become of much importance. At the breaking out of the rebellion it was thought by the military authorities of this country that cavalry was comparatively of little value, but the error of that opinion has since been clearly proved, and at the present time the cavalry force of our army nnmbers upwards of seventy thousand (70,000) men. In that force there is but one regiment of "lancers;" thatraised and commanded by Colonel Richard H. Rush, of Philadelphia. At so small a number of men equipped with that efficient arm is manifested by military men, and others, much surprise, when the greatest military nations of the world have con stantly kept a large number of troops armed with The lance. The cavalry of the Austrian army num bers fifty-seven thousand.. (67000 ) , men, of which number twenty-one thousand six hundred and ninety-111x (21,696) are lancers. Prior to 1848 the Austrian army only contained four lancer regiments, recruited exclusively in Ga licia and chiefly mounted on Polish horses. In the Italian campaigns in 1848 and 1849, and in the Hun garian war, the great value of these lancers was eri clearly proved, that not only were six chevaux Tegers (light cavalry) regiments converted into lament, but two more were raised, so that they now amount to twelve regiments. In the French army we find the lance a valued weapon. The French cavalry is divided into four . distinct classes, viz.: First. II eavycavalry, or reserve cavalry, composed of ten (10) regiments cuirassiers and two(2) of ear blneers ; the reserve cavalry is intended for attack in close column, and le mounted on very powerful horses, principally drawn from Normandy and North Germany ; this chum numbers about fifteen thousand (16000.) Second. The so-called line cavalry, consisting of twelve (12) regiments of dragoons and eight (8) lan cer regiments, organized precisely like the heaviest, except that each regiment contains sixty (Go) more men. The total strength of the line cavalry is 'thir teen thousand (13,000) dragoons, and eight thousand six hundred (8,600) lancers. Third. The light cavalry consisting of twelve (12) regiments of Chcaseurs d cheval, and nine (9) Hussar regiments, containing together about twenty-four thousand nine hundred and forty eight (24,018). Fourth. The so-called African cavalry, consisting of four (4) regiments, and containing 3,400 men. In the Russian army we also find the cavalry force divided in different classes—viz : The guard cavalry corps, the light cavalry, and the reserve cavalry, 1117 which three classes there are nearly eighty thousand (80,000) men, of which twenty-live thousand seven hundred and forty (25,740) are lancers. The total strength of the Cossacks of the Russian army, prin cipally armed with the lance, is one hundred and twenty-four (124) regiments of one hundred and twenty-six thousand (126,000) men and 224 guns.. "But still the Cossack of the preeent day is far from being the same man as he who struck terror to the heart of the French army on the disastrous retreat from Moscow. The Russian cavalry on no occasion have distinguished themselves in the field, and whenever any credit has been attained it has gene; rally fallen to the lot of light-heeled Cossacka armed with the lanie. ' . . - And again in the British army, we find the lance, which is there considered an arm of much merit. The English cavalry is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry; the entire force numbering in 1859, eleven thousand (11,000) men equipped . fer the field. Their light cavalry, which they consider the most valuable portion of their force was, in 1859, equipped thus: Five (5) regiments of dragoons. Five( 5) regiments of husaare. Five (5) regiments of lancers. Two (2) regiments have recently been added, the 6th Lancers in lieu of sth Dragoons, disbanded during the Irish Rebellion, and the 18th Light Dra goons. The Sardinian army, which owes its present effi ciency to Charles Albert, has, on the peace esta blishment a strength of seventy thousand (70,000) men, which, in war, owing to the excellent system of reserves, can be raised to one hundred and twenty , thousand. The cavalry, splendidly trained, and well mounted, comprise four (4) regiments of dra goons, and four cheuawlegere (light cavalry) ' the lat ter aimed with lancers, which they use with deadly effect- Thus five of the great European Powers have the lance in use to a great extent. Thin is not only the case now, but such has existed since a very remote period, when their campaigns were carried on in a country equally, if not more, wild and unsettled than that in which our armies are now operating, and it is singular that our military thinkers appre ciate so little the value of the lance. which war nations consider, in the hands of well-drilled caval ry, a weapon unsurpassed, °meter. SPECIAL MEETING OP CITY COUNCILS.— On Saturday, a Special meeting of both branches of City Councils wee held for the purpose of approv ing the sureties of the heads of departments elected on Thursday last. SELECT Courrorr..—The ordinance from Common Council, approving of the sureties of the heads of departments, was received, and some discussion en sued in regard to the fact whether Councils had knowledge of the sufficiency of the sureties offered. No time was allowed for an examination, in order to ascertain if the properties had not been encum bered with judgments. . Mr. Miller introduced R . proviso, instructing the City Solicitor to make the necessary searches before accepting the new. bonds. This was adopted, and the ordinance, as amended, was passed. Adjourned. Common COUVOIL.-AI four o'clock, W the Presi dent, Mr. 'ilson Kerr, called the Council to order. Upon calling the roll no quorum answered. A re cess wee taken for fifteen minutes, at which time the requisite number was present. Mr. Baird, from the Finance Committee, reported the sureties of the followinL.named heads of Depart ments : George W. Schofield, Chief Commissioner of Highways. John Relish, Commissioner of Highways. - 1.. T. Morrison, Commissioner of Highways. Isaac S. (NNW, Engineer of the Water Depart. meta.

McCormick, Superintendent of Girard Estates. R. R. Young, agent of Girard Estates. The report or the committee was approved. Mr. Leigh offered a batch of bills in place, rela tive to the various departments. These bills were passed by the last Select Council. , Mr. Leigh said he introduced them that they might take the proper channel to be properly considered. Mr. Trego moved that the printing of the bills be dispensed with, and that the bills be referred to the several appropriate committees. This was agreed to. Mr. Leigh called up the ordinance preventing the erection of wooden buildings in the city. After a brief debate the consideration of the ordinance was made the special order of the day at 5 o'clock on next Thursday afternoon. TAX ON STINER.—It seems that every assessor differently defines the law placing a tax on silver plate. One tells you that you are com pelled to render an account of every article of silver in your possession; another, that you are only ex pected to account for such as you have in use daily, leaving out entirely, perhaps, a large service and surplus that you only use a few times and on extra occasions, but that you do use; another, that all presents are exempt; and another, vice versa. The Revenue Commissioner-in-chief construes the phrase " kept for use,” in the sohmlule in reference to silver plate, te.except silver plate kept for sale, and . also that which is In possession of a family or its Mem bers as souvenirs and keepsakes. The plate properly taxable is that which has been purchased for the use of the family, or has been presented to the fa mily as part of the household furniture, and as such is kept for use, whether for ornament or actual ser vice. Thus it seems that table silver of all kinds, whether used constantly or " on state occasions," is taxable. But a vase urn, or medal, presented as a mark of respect or 'honor, would not be taxable. The exemption is upon the weight of forty ounces troy, and not avoirdupois.

MARCIE Q. 1.863 (Before Ur. alderman Darner.) `Snap Clothes Stolen. On Saturday afternoon, a colored boy named George Chambers, was arraigned before Mr.'. Alder , man L'eitler, at the Central Station, on thenharge of stealing a quantity of clothes from the line in the yard attached to the residence of Mrs. Caroline Marqueze on Spruce street, above Seventh. The goods were recovered at a paivn-shop. Mrs. Mar quess testified that the articles were worth about $2O. They were stolen front the yard on Monday night or Tuesday morning imit. Detective Levi testified that the prisoner acknowledgedlo him that he had stolen the goods. The accused was commit ted in default of $l,OOO bail to answer at court. (Before Mr. A1110!Mall Carter.] Robbery and Arrest- Julia McMahon was arraigned before Mr. Alder man Carter yesterday morning, on the charge of the lawny of about aix hundred dollars worth of jewelry and clothing, the property of Rev. Dr. Wash burn, the rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. The accused was arrested on Saturday by Sergeant Britton, of the Fifth police division. It seems that she was formerly employed in the family of the reverend gentleman, and of course had gained some • knowledge of household affairs. Articles ofjewelry, consisting of diamond breastpin, bracelets, Canton crape, and cashmere sliawls, were stolen. She was talcen into custody on Locust street, and finally made an admission of the facts. She was committed to answer at court. (Before Mr. Alderman ilta She was Bennett to have Brandy. A young woman, giving the narne of Margaret McClain, was arraigned OR Saturday, on the charge of the larceny of a quantity of wash clothes, the property of some person unknown. .

The accused admit. ted stealing them, but would give no further infor mation. She said that she was bound to have bran dy, even if she bad to steal to get it. The poor mise rable creature is not more than layears old, yet the fingers of disalpatlon nave made their marks upon her once fair, but now bloated face. It is said by several officers, that a few years ago she was known as an apple-girl. She was committed to prison. (Before Mr. Alderman Miller.] Petty Larceny.

Read. TRU CASE OF COUNCILMAN•NRESER—A WRIT 01? . QUO WARRANT° AWARDED AGAINST RIM. Commonwealth ex rel. &a, vs. Wm. Messer. An application for a writ of quo warrant° against defend ant, to show by what right he holds and exercises the .office of member of Common Council from the Fifth Ward. Before reported. The opinion of the Court by the Chief Justice was delivered on Satur day morning, as follows: Commonwealth ex rel., vs. William bleeser.—lt would be a vicious rule of law that would allow all nubile officers to be annoyed by a quo warrant° at Vte p!easure of every intermeddier or malicious per son, and, therefore, we have hesitated in granting this writ at the suit of a private person. B u t it is quite apparent that the relator here really represents a large and respectable political party, and is not in duced to act by mere personal motives. And we ob serve that, by the act of 24th of April, 1i54 , section 3, (not cited to us In any of these disputes, and not before noticed by us,) any tax payer may obtain an injunction against any violation of the charter of the city, and we may take this as a fair analogy for granting this writ, especially as we can always pre vent the abuseof it by the exercise of the dime. Lion that belongs to all prerogative writs. Yet it is not without some hesitation that we pass this ob jection, and come to the essential question of the case. Is there a reasonable mule shown for disputing the - defendant's title to the office of Common Coun cilman 1 We think there is. It is dented that there was any vacancy to be tilled for the Fifth ward at the time of the last election, and thin appears to be well founded : for it does not appear that the ward had 4,000 taxable inhabitants on the list of taxables of the preceding year, and the sheriff issued no pro clamation for an election for the office, and therefore the people did not understand that there was to be an election for it, and only five of them out of nearly 4,000 taxables voted. . . This ward has already one member, and is not entitled to another unless it hatl4,ooo taxable inhabi tants. Here, then, are the regular steps to a valid election—an official list of taxables!of the preceding year, showing 9,000 taxable inhabitants; a proclama tion of the Sheriff of a vacancy to be filled, which proclamation is expressly required, and an actual election in pursuance thereof, conducted by the pro per officers and certified as the law directs. If any of these steps are wanting, then the election was ir regular, and the defendant's title to the office is at least doubtful. But let us be careful here. This Court has no authority to judge whether the election was regularly conducted or not; for that (hay is as signed by law to the Councils. Our duty must be confined to the decision of the question whether there was an office or vacancy to be filled. • Woe :here a vacancy in the representation of the FiftleVard that could lawfully be voted for at that election I Was there the competent number of taxa ble inhabitants? The relator relied on the record to show that there was not, and the defendant ap• peals to oral evidence that there was. One sticks to the letter and form of the proceeding, and the other appeals to the spirit and substance of it. How shall we dispose of this appeal? No doubt there are very many eases in which a strict adherence to the letter Of , the law would be destructive of justice, and it is quite impossible for the law to define with precision all the customary rights of a people, or to express exactly the duties arising from the ever-changing • forms of social transactions. There is a very large field of social relations wherein the law, whether statutory or customary, must ever remain somewhat indefinite, in order to he adapted to society. But -is it so with our election laws I We think not. All our electoral rights depend on written law, and it only can define them. I rule that written law depends itself on ulterior principles of natural law; but those principles are subject to very great diversities of application, and lack entirely that de finiteness which is an essential quality of law as a rule of common or social conduct. Law is intended to be a definition a of those principles itrauch form as to fit them for a ready and ordinary use, and to avoid the disputes that necessarily grow out of more general principles. And nowhere is clear and precise definition more needed than in the laws that relate to the organiza tion of society and to the maintenance of its organic forms. Form is the sole purpose of them, and we must view them - formally and follow them strictly, • else the whole society is very apt to be disturbed." No latitude or looseness of administration of the law is tolerable when it endangers the peace and order of society. It ought to be so steady as not to be at all shaken by partisan excitements. The defendant thinks that his ward is entitled to two members of Council, if it has in fact four thou sand taxable inhabitants. But this is not the law. It is that it is so entitled only incase it has so many "according to the list of taxable inhabitants for the preceding year." Their representation is, therefore, not according to taxables, but according to the in habitants actually taxed, and placed on a particular hat as taxed. All taxables ought to be on that list; but the light depends, not on this, but on the fact that they are so. Whatis the list of taxables I Under the charter act of 1854, and no doubt long before, this was no other than what is usually called the assessment book. But in the supplement of lath May, 1858, s. 6, this is changed in a way that may cause some un certainty unless care be taken. It requires the as sessors to make out, of course from the assessment book, "an alphabetical list of all the taxables to be returned to the Commissioners with the assessment book, to be used for election purposes." This then is the list by which the representative numbers is to be ascertained, and we must take it as we find it re turned into the Commissioners' office, by the joint act of assessors, and by it the Sheriffimust be guided in proclaiming tlrenumber of Common Councilmen to be elected in each ward. For election purpoees it is a record. $4,353 0 Many names in the tax list of the ward, of the year 1861, are erased by red ink lines drawn through them, and they must, for the fixing of the represent ative number, stand as not written there. Only what are lest appear to be the joint act of the asses sors. If any one has fraudulently erased them, let him be punished for it by refusal to him of all com pensation, or by other penalty. The erasure rather seems to have been properly done, and it is admit ted that the unerased names do not amount to four thousand, Without speaking, therefore, of the want of the Sheriff's proclamation, or of any real election by thepeople, we think the relator has Shown good cause for the writ. Rule made absolute, and the writ of quo warranto awarded, returnable on the lath day of March next. THE DUFFIELD TIANDAHUB CASE. The mandamus in the case of Thomas J. Duffield, late a member of Common Council from the Eigh teenth ward, was then taken up. Henry Ale Phillips, Esq., on behalf of the defendants, filed a motion to quash the writ, and that motion and the demurrer of the relator to the defendants' return, it was agreed, should be argued together.
