SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1864,
THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR,
TREMENDOUS CROWD OP PEOPLE,
IMMENSE NUMBERS FROM THE COUNTRY.
EVERYBODY DELTGIITEXI
Ladies and Gentlemen from Wow York, Sew Jersey,
and Delaware, Express their Admi
ration of the Fair!
The delightful weather of yosterday offered every
inducement to outdoor exercise, and as there was no'
topic of conversation besides tho Sanitary Fair, peo
pio generally turned thoir attention to tiio gront in
stitution, ami flocked there in immense numbers.
In tho mighty throng there wore numbers from ;
Now York, New Jersey, and tho State of Delaware,:
all of whom were highly delighted with the-varie
ty of displays. Union avenue was crowded all day
and evening. Many hundreds of visitors standing
at one end enjoyed the sublime view: in perspective
of tho mammoth arcade, a woH-fillod hall, contain
ing all that wealth, beauty, and power could dis-,
play. Towards evening we hoard hinny U person
complain of being tired, and yet they had not seen
■all. ■ ■■ ’
It slum id be; remomborod that a person, to go
through tlio Fair entirely, must expect to walk
nearly two miles; and then a second trip might be
made, when things that had not been seen before
would attract attention. As an exemplification of
some of the above remarks, wo relate an instance or
two that eamo directly under our notice yesterday:
“ Sir,” said a young gentleman, with a lady upon
his arm, “ can you tell rap where the department for
children is located !”
“ Indeed, sir, I cannot; but I think if you .go up
that way, then turn down this way, and then go a
little to the right, then walk straight ahead for
two. hundred ygrds; then ask somebody else, perhaps
you can find out.”
This very lucid explanation was of course entirely
satisfactory. The young gentleman and lady shaped
their course accordingly. \ "
“Dear nib,” said an elderly lady, “I’d like 'to see
the Fine-Art Gallery, for I am a lover of arts. 'Can
you tell me, sir, where it Is 1” :
, “ Yes, madam;yon arein Arms aid Trophies, now;
you go out! that door, then move along that way,
then pass up the east wing, and you will find it.”
: "Thank you, sir," replied the'.indyyanclawayslio
started; but getting into! the’wrong avenue, she
found herself, Tor.tho first time, at the entrance to
the,groat temple of hortibultnro. Getting a poop at
that splendid arrangement, the old lady bifurcated
a quarter, obtained a ticket, walked in, and was
soon lost in admiration'of nature and art combined.
Scenes such were, of course, numerous.
A. diagram of the interior, to be had at the doors of
entrance fora small price, might afford a pleasant
pastime for the little hoys who are active In render
ing assistance to the mamnioth and humane insti
tution/, Trom this subject we tuni'to another that
may coine.vcry.apprpprihtoly under the head of .
rsurur. as well as ornamentau, .
for it seomed'yesterday that the pretty young lady
(attendants- at the tables mustered sufficient courage
‘to askithe visitors to.purchaso something. On the
first and-Booondrdays the young ladies weroretieont,
Jfijjmany of the 'dear creatures had nevor been in
! such positions before ; but the novelty has worn off,
and non'-they are ready for business. This Is emi
nently right, for it is hard indeed to resist an appli
cation.to buy some one or more mementoes of : the
great Fair; and thus the coffers of the institution
. become more and more filled. As wo have, said
before, the articles are sold at a fair price; there is
no extortion; everything is conducted ontho ground
of principle, consistent with the holy object of the
greet-organization. The ladies have it in their
power to add thousands upon thousands of dollars
tot ho' treasury,-by making themselves useful as
well as ornamental. 'With these few remarks wo
proceed to notice the splendid donation made by
R.VII.EY & bo!
This consists of a magnificent military vase, of
solid silver, three feet four inches in height, and
worth $5,000/ It stands in a glass case, a'short dis
tance from the-main flag-staff, on Union avonuo.
It is a tripod : military vase, resting on a verd
antique base, made of marble obtained in the State
of Vermont. On the base are three ooneare panels,
representing the arms of the United 'States, the
arms of Pennsylvania, and, In bmso~relimio, the Ame
rican'eagle strangling a serpent. Under the eano
. py, in the centre of the base, is the figure oil Libor
tv., Tho pillars which support the.eanppy are three
in number;-based upon threo miiitary
groupings, -representing the arms ana' troptUS'bf'
the ancient, middle, and present.ages of the world.
These pillars are surmounted by/three winged
figures, representing the goddesses Fame, History,
and Peace! On this beautifuny-embellished tripod,
rests’the. vase, which is elaborately enriched by
running vine and clusters of grape.. As a. work of
art it cannot be excelled. This was tho munificent
donation of Messrs; Bailey & Co., who conveyed it
with a brief note, of which the following is a copy :
John Welsh, Esq., Chairman of Executive Committee
Great Central Pair ■
Philadeuvuia, .Tune 8,1564.
Sut: With this, wo send Ibr your acceptance and
disposal a silver vase, being our donation to the Sa
nitary Commission, of which you are the acknow
ledged-representative. The value of this gift is
five thousand dollars, which amount we desire to see
realized, with as much more in addition as the libe
rality of our citizens miiy desire.
- Respectfully yours, &c., ... BAir.r.r & Go.
The vase was formally handed over to tho sub
committee of which Mr. Haseltine is chairman, and
this gentleman superintends Its disposal, the opera
tion of which is as follows:

Down his dear humming brooks,
. :: To hide in secret nooks..

Like gossips murmuring at belated Spring.. :
And then be thought of the beloved bauds :
. That with his own had plucked the modest flower;
Tho blue-eyed maiden, crowned with golden bands,
Who ruled as sovereign of that sunny hour.
She at whose soft command’ ,

She for whose sake'he lay so firm.and still, . ■
Despite his pangs,'nor questioned then her will.
So. lost in thought, scarce" conscious of the deed,;

Slowly—ah! slowly—for his wound would bleed; .
And the sweet flowers themselves half-smiled,
Uaif-wept, • . «
To bo thus gathered In
By hands so paio atul thin,
By fingers trembling as they neatly laid
Stem upon stem, arid bound them in a braid.

His form upon our shoulders bowed and sad j
Though ho but seemed to think

And as we cheered him, for tho path was wild,
He only looked upon his flowers and smiled. ...

The University of the City of New York, which
some two years ago equally honored Itself and ac
knowledged the eminent merit of a very able writer
and sound scholar, by conferring tho degree of Mas
ter of Arts upon Edwdrd I. Sears, Esq;, editor and
proprietor of the National Quarterly Review, has still
further carried out its purpose by presenting him
with the degree of Doctor of Haws. He-isoneof the
best educated and best.read men we ever have met.
He graduated in Trinity College, Dublin,>nd, with
single purpose, marked ability, and great success,
has established and conducted, for a period now ox-.
cceding five years, the National Quarterly Review,
which has a high reputation not only for its scholar
ship and impartiality, but for the persistency and
power of its attacks on Quackery of all soTts—whe
ther in literature, medicine, or commercial institu
tions. Dr. Scars is certainly one of the most hard
working men ofletters in this country.
A “very pretty quarrel,.as it.stands,” is now pro
ceeding between the London Aihenceim and Mr.
Maxwell, publisher of Miss Braddon’s and,
we understand, her husband also. Mr. Muxweil
announced “ Henry. Dunbar, the Story of an« Out
cast,” with the x>re!iminary flourish; that it would
simultaneously appear in English, French, and
German, and informed the patient public that it,
‘‘the first edition of this new novel by the author of
‘Lady Audlcy’s Secret,* had been completely ex
hausted on the first day of-publication," and- that
“ the public inquiry for early copies has had no
parallel among recent works of fiction.” The AfAfi
naum severely censured this barefaced puffery;
said “ people arc growing suspicious of-books which
begin—as far as they can see—with a second edi
tion 5” took the story to pieces, and pronounced it,
with truth, to be “the poorest of all Miss Braddqn's
works, the most careless in composition, the most
unlikeiy'ln construction,” gave examples of this
carelessness and improbability, and finally wound
up thus: “But’what becomes of the forger, mur
derer, thief, on whom Missßraddon asks her readers
to expend sympathy, at every turn of his iniquitous
career 1 Docs he pay the penalty of his crimes t-
Byno means. He baffles the police, escapes the
lynx-eyed detectives, retires with his daughter, the
music teacher, to Kylmington, in the county of
Hants, where he lives, ‘quite the gentleman,; at-;
tending church twice every. Sunday as regular as
the day comes round, and being quite a picture of
respectability, with his venerable, pious-looking
gray hair.* This respectable villain dic3 penitent,
in the same county in which ho perpetrated his most
heinous crime. His daughter, the music* mistress,
records, of him: { Ho thought of his old master, as he
knew him first, and Ms heart was softened towards
the dead man’s memory, and from that time his
penitence began. He was sorry, for what he had
done.’ He was sorry for what he had done! There’s
a moral for you!” To this crUieism, severe but not
unjust, Miss Braddon’s publisher objected, saying
that it was “unfriendly.”/ The Atheiucum missed,
making one great point. ; It might, have sold, (had
it, known, as we know on this side, of the world,)
that “ Henry Dunbar” now issued as & nm novel,
is nothing-of the sort. It ,was one of the very
earliest tales published by Miss Braddon, and was
then neglected by the public. It was republished in
this country, in more than one newspaper, and, a.
few months ago, was issued in book form by Dick
fie. Fitzgerald, of New York, who have republished,
the greater portion of Bliss Braddon’s early and
almost unknown writings.
Apropos of new novels, we take leave to recom
mend two lately published in Messrs. Harper’s ad
mirable, we might say, unequalled “library of So- •
lect Novels.” The firEt, by Miss Amelia B. Ed-,
wards, author of several previous books which have
not yet been reproduced here, is. “ Barbara’s His
tory,” and, albeitthe main incident which separates
man and wife has a :dash of Improbability; in it, the
story is so well developed that the book has an irre
sistible charm. That old, odd Mrs. Sandyshaft,
with her hundred pigs, Is one of the truest and most
natural characters in modern fiction.
The other tale, much briefer, and with a sort of
fragmentary • air, is “Cousin Phillis/* which first
a ppearfid-iii ihagfos'irMJ and is attxibxtWi -
to Miss Thackeray./; It'ia -written wittolegance and
expression, and 1?> decided improvement upon tho
touching “Story of Elizabeth,” by the same au-,
thqr. , , .-.c .:
A new novel by Mrs. Southworth, entitled “The
Bridal Eve,” which the Petersons win publish to
morrow, is certainly the very best; story that able
lady has produced. The scene, is in England,: on
thseopening of the present century, arid Mrs. South
worth, ns usual, blunders as to persons, things, and
places there, but she has constructed a very inge
nious plot, containing several striking situations,
and the tale is well worth reading. - ' ; ■
It is announced that the edition of;“ Our Mutual
Friend” is 4fi,000 copies. The illustrations, by
: Marcus Stone, two of which are given- in tho July
number of Harper's Magazine, are mnch superior to
the rather grotesque etchings by “ Phiz,” in many
of tho previous works of “l!»z.”
In tho United States Service Magazine tar Juno
(tho best number, yet published, and the Completion
of tho first volume,) is a brief but sufficient biogra
phy of General Grant, written by Prof. Copprie,
-apropos, of an admirable likeness of the gallant
chief, ODgravcd on stoel by J. A. O’Neill, of New
York,from ft; recent photograph, and we can say.
that it is one of the best magazine portraits we ever
saw. The magazine can be obtained from IVY B.
Zieber, South" Third street. By its publisher, Mr.
Charles B. Richardson, New York, has also been
published a larger portrait (tho size is ton inches by
twelve), engraved by Mr. O’Neill, and if the term
“a speaking likeness” bo applicable to any portrait,
it is to. this.; The price is purposely put;■to suit all
classes—plain proofs, $2; India proofs, and ar
tist’s proofs before letters, *lO. It Is a superb en
graving.. ; ,
Two new portraits of Mr. Lincoln have lately
been published., One, a fine, bold engraving by
John Sartain, shows Mr. Lincoln at his , writing
table, and the head was ; taken from an excellent
photograph, the ; remainder of the picture being
painted by E. Boyle. The bust of Andrew Jackson
is introduced with good effect, and the Doily Morning
Chronicle has its place upon tho President’s table.
This portrait is published by E. K. London, Chicago,
and Mr. Henry Sartain, Sarisom street, is agent for
its sale,hero.
Another .portrait, engraved by .1. Scrz, from a
painting by W. K. Winner, is. smaller in size'than
■the last, and represents Mr. Lincoln issuing the;
Emancipation Proclamation. It is an' offeetiyo
portrait, and John Dainty, South Sixth street, is
tho publisher. :
Mr. E. D. Blarchant’s:plotufo, representing the.
President reading the Proclamation to tho Cabinet,
which will soon bo engraved, will bo very popular,
no doubt, from tho importance of tho subject and
admitted ability :of, the artist.

Sir Colin Campbell nncl Gen. McClellan.
The London correspondent of titio Now- York
Herald tells the-following story. Tho suppo3ed'fifty
second cousin relationship easting between Gen.
MoGlellan and Lord Clyde It was not thought worth
while to mention In his biography:
■ A curious piece of intelligence has just cometo-us
that will be of interest in America. I see no •men
tion of it in any English journal. The lato-Field
Marshal Lord Clyde (Colin Campbell) dledlesathan'
■ u year ago, leaving a large fortune, considerable-of
it to a maiden sister— 1 r ‘Bliss Alicia Campbell; or
Macliver.” She died intestate, on tho goth-of
December last, leavtog. also a large fortuno.- lip
searching for the heirs of the estate, it is found that
Gen. George B. McClellan, late commander of-the
American armios, was a near relative of tho late
Field Marshal, one of the greatest soldiers Scotland
ever produced, and probably one of the heirs to the
estate of tho sister. Miss Marion Maeliver. sistsr of
John Mnelivor, Lord Clyde’s, father, married Mr.
— McClellan, a Highlander of the Island-Cof
Islay, and their son was Gcnorai BlcGlellan’sfa
ther. So the General’s father was own cousin-to
Lord Clyde. ■ ■.
I get these facts from Peter Maclirer, of Bristol,
proprietor and editor of tho Bristol Daily Press, cno
of the heirs of the next of kin of the late Field. Ma
rshal and his sister, and administrator of tho latter’s
estate;- -
I have just learned, as an indisputable fact, that
Jeff Davis, early in the war, wrote to. Lord Clyde,
and offerca.blm a command in the rebel armies, and
Invited Mm most urgently to come and assist In the
rebellion. His Lordship declined, but he was never
theless a warm sympathizer with the rebellion, and;,
had he lived, intended to go over to America merely
as a spectator, and witness the events that trans
pired. But he is buried, with all his hopes, fears,
and expectations, and General George B. McClel
lan lives ns one of his nearest relatives—a fact that
Colin Campbell was probably never aware of. •
Bursting of the Great Wlartl Gnn.
The monster, gun, whose basting at the Wiarrl
Ordnance Works we described some weeks since,
was on Saturday last subjected to so'severo a test as
tocause Its almost total destruction. Though of bat
15 Inches calibre, the gun, from its peculiar pattern,
was probably, the bulkiest piece of ordnaneo ever
made, in this country, being 13 feet in length, over
six feet in exterior diameter, and weighing over.
45.000 pounds. The charge was far greater than'
any before attempted, consisting of SO pounds of
.quick-burning powder, and an elevated, shot of 900
pounds .weight;, the cartridge was 15 inches in
diameter by 15H in length, the ball a solid double
shot 15 inches by 24. This is more than three times
the service charge.
The gun was fired about dusk, and caused an ex
plosion by which many in this city, at . the distance
of two miles, were much'alarmed. When the clouds
of smoke and gravel had subsldod, It was found that
the gun had, been blown to fragments, one piece of
about 16,000 pounds weight being hurled a distance,
of about 200 feet. In view of the immense- charge,
Mr. Wiardtook every precaution to' keep the by
standers at a safo distance,. and to his caution we
may attribute that no one was at all injured, though
the flying fragments passed In alarming proximity
to many of the. spectators. Whether the rupture
was caused by a,defective easting, or-was due mere
ly to the heavy charge, we aro unable to state.—
Trenton Monitor.
A Fatal Halt.—The following sad story we
find In an account, of some of the firing along
Grnnt'S-mes—mr—j
Times: “A. chance shot to-day also worked some',
mischief in the 2d Khode Island, Regiment. The
term of the regiment was expired, and it was going
from the front, bound for home. Having got, as
was supposed, well out of range, the order was given
to halt, and a moment after came the rushing ball,
bringing its deathmessage to two poor follows who,
after faithful service,.having escaped, all the dan
gers of the fight, were full of joyful anticipations at
the speedy prospeet of being home again. Their
fate was doubly shocking.”
M3JAICIAI A2iD COMMERCIAL.
Gold was firm yesterday* opening, at IDS, selling
afterwards down to 197%, and closing at 4 P, M. at
195%. There is evidently a very strong movement to
-runup the price to 2CO. Bets have been freely made
.Within the past few weeks that the premium would
reach that figure, and the excitement is as great as that
often witnessed among the-betters on a political earn-;
paign.: Little .thought is given as to the evil effect
Which this reckless gambling may produce, and it is
entered into with great zest and warmth. To prove
that the . gold premium is in great part . ficti
tious, it is necessary only to say that the. general
-stock market does . not partake of, the same - up
ward movement. . The same natural causes which
send ; up the price of, gold affect also the price of
all other marketable commodities, and it .is .fair
to presume that inasmuch M stocks generally show
no material appreciation, as compared with gold, there
mnst he unnatural, or speculative causes which affect
the one and not the other. The 6-20 Government bonds
are steady at 106; the other loans are as last quoted;
new City sixes improved slightly; State War Loan sixes
cell at 107%; Pennsylvania first mortgage bonds were
in demand at 117, and the second at 7 113;: Camdeni and
Amboy sixes of ISS9 sold at 109%; Philadelphia and Erie

Schuylkill rose I, and Philadelphia and ErieMine
hill vras steady at 64,. and.Catawissa preferred at 43;
Susquehanna Canal sold at 21%, and the sixes at 66%;
Schuylkill Navigation preferred was higher, selling at
41%, but the common stock fell to 32%; Union Canal de

Fulton at 9; Big Mountain at 9, and Green Mountain at

Mr.-Chase has given anothe evidence of his sincere’
desire to carry oat the new programme we announced a,
few days since, and we record ‘ft with pFeasure. Hr
needed moieyat once, and offered 6per cent, interest
for deposits. The hanks were ready to loanrit to him,
put required several conditions: "firet, that he would:
take the coupon notes at their .face valney that is
aJlow the accruing interest to date* of deposit; second!
that he would issue for such deposits 6per cent certi
ficates which could he used at the Clearing House in.
exchange between the banks, and atjrce to take them
in payment of loans n &c. P without, previousnotie*-
and third, that he would agree to all depositor
letal-tender money in kind, that is,-in legabtcader
money,-if properly demanded.
“The- Secretary acceded at once to the condi
tions save the one last named. The Mich was im
portant. The hanks were unwilling to deposit with the
Sub-Treasury Government notes which are a legal ten
der for all their debts, and receive back, when they
called In the loan, the notes of National 3«nks, which
arealegahtenderfrom the Government, htaewhich they'
could not require the creditors to accept. Mr. Cha.4
»?■ tho other hand, feared to make this agreement, iSt
ft might seem to he an acknowledgment that National
Hank notes were not equal to greenbacks, sad thus hi*
pet currency he discredited. No formal digression was
had. the hanks having approached the Secretary throtreb
their loan committee, bur obstacle prevented the -
flow of .deposits to the Treasury, and Mr. has
given way upon the lasfcj>dinV and thus smoothed the
way for large receipts. He has instructed the-Assistant
Treasurer to note che character of the deposits, and
when demaKded to repaythem in kind, ft is trredi table
to him that ne has been willing to make this ccoeeasion *
and wetruskit wilrbe theoeeasion.ofaciosersymoatby
