At 5 o'clook yesterday afternoon about elxly persons sat down to a sumptuous repast at tbe l,n l'lerre House, tbe occasion being the anniversary of St. George, tbe l'atron Haint of Kngland. The dining tali was appropriately decorated for the purpose. At one end was hang Bully's full lengtb portrait of "Queen Vto toria Ascending tlio Throne," wbiob was tastefully draped with tbe American nd lirltlHli flags. The "Society of the Rons of St. George" were the hosts, and among the invited guest we noticed Frederick l-'alr-thorne, Ksq,., 1'reBldent of the "Albion;" Gene ral ltoberl Patterson, President of the "Hiber nian;" David C. McCmnmon, Ksq., President of the "Scotch;" and Hnralio Gntes Jones, Ksq., l'resldentof the" Welsh" Societies. Jnmes Allou, President ot tbe "Sons of St. George," occupied tlie chair; Shadwlck Hill, Ksq., the Vlce-Preii-Uenl, being seated opposite. The whole entertainment passed off in the most agreeable manner. Among the toasts given were the "Q,ueen," the "President of the United States," "Kugland the land of our birth," "The United States of Amerlc the land of our adoption," "The Prince aud Prln cess of Wales," "Our deceived lirethren," "The Armies and Navies of Great Hrltaln and the United States against tbe w 01 Id," "1'ho Clergy," "Our Kindred (societies," " Woman," aud "i'lie Press." Mr. Fairthorno, President of the Albion, re Rponded in a spirited manner to tbe toast of "Kngland; McGregor J, Mitcbieson, Kiu., iu answer to "The Prince and Princess of Wales;'' Horatio G.Jones to "Our Kindred Societies;" and General Patterson to "Tbe Armies aud Jiavies." Addresses were ulso miide by the Kev. Mr. lion-ham, Mr. Thomas Thompson, and Mr. Starkey, and the entertainment was lurtber enlivened by several spirited songs. A Confidence Oamb How to Get Rid op Six Hundred Dollars. One of those often recurring games of confidence, wberuln one party always plays sharp and wins look, place yesterday. A friuer, who probably uudor stands the niauugement of land much butter than financial transactions, by the name of Johnson Clare, was one of the many travellers seated in a railway coaon that was speeding to this city from Johnstown. Occupying tbesame seat with him was a younger person, who, from appearances aud actions, had Ills wits about him. Wben not far from Philadelphia, the train stopped at a little station. Suddenly this young man lumped np with "There is Mr. Howard on tbe platform, I owe him 8000, aud huvn'tgota red; would you loan me the amount for a half an hour?" "Yes," replied the farmer, and out came tbe roll of bills, a number of which, making the required amount, being handed to the stranger, wbo immediately disappeared. Time elapsed, the tmln moved on, no stranger appeared, and it finally struck the mind of our larmer that 8000 had gone up, he knew not whither. Information was given to Chief Detec tive Lninon, who will use his best endeavors to aid In bringing the "confidence" man tojustice. The Auction Sale of Robinson's Collection of Mantel, Piek, and Oval Mirrors should be kept in remembrance by all desiring such articles. The Art Gallery of 0. Scott, at No. J020 Chesnut street, will no doubt be well filled to-morrow morning, Thursday, the Z5th instant, as this great collection of elegant mirrors will be put up at public sale. The beauty, size, and unique designs in t hese specimens of orna mental and uselul furniture are unsurpassed, and for their great merit, and the probable very low prices that a public sale will bring, should cause tbe attendance of persons desiring to renew tlnir household effects, or othars who intend furnishing their residences with such articles for tbe ilrst time. The superiority ot this assortment has been fully spoken of in the columns of Tun Evening Telegraph. Mr. A. S. ltohiuson, who has made this selection, is well known to our citizens. His establishment, at No. 1)10 Chesnut street, is an emporium con taining nil manner of looking-glass and pic ture frames, fine engravings and cbromos, oil paintings bv celebrated masters, fancy brackets, cornices, folios or every variety, and an assort ment of photographs. Grand Festival by the Colored People's Union League.

Officer William Pearson this morning pnssed successfully through a trial before Mm Chief of Police and the Lieutenants, on charges made by certain Individuals in the vicinity of Second street, between Union and South, who are dissatisfied with the vigilant manner in which that ollleer discharges his duty. It appears that a number of prominent. loungers and hangers-on aDout tuivi pitce have from time to time come undor Olllc'i Pearson's notice, nnd have been arrested. Be lieving that his vigilance was not to their per- Boual welfare, they have preferred charges, which have been happily and completely re futed. Throughout the police force of this city there is not an ollicer who is esteemed more by Eeace-lovlng citizens, or one who discharges is duty more laithfully and arrests disorderly cl araclers more quickly, than Otllcer Pearson, of Lieutenant Goldy's force, in the Third Dis trict, whose bent extends lrom south to union. on Hecond street.

BECKWITn'S ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE, No. 1220 WALNUT Street. During our Investigations In the treatment of dis ease lu lu various forms by the agency of electricity, we have obtained very many valuable and startling facts, which, added to the previous though limited Information possessed by other and less fortunate operators, place us beyond all previous knowledge of this mysterious agent. During the course of our prac tice we have treated and cured, through the know ledge thus gained, many thousands, aud by means of our new discoveries bave established ourselves as the most snccessrul Medical Electricians In this country or Europe. Electrical investigation has proved that tbe human hotly acts on the principle or the galvanic battery. Tbe brain, mucous aud serous membranes, the skin tissues, and fluids, constitute the negative and posi tive lorces, and every action, whether mental or phy sical, Is the result orthese antagonists forces. Diges tion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and excretion are due solely to electrical lnllueuce. There is a polar action established throughout the nervous system which connects with every part ot the body, establish- ng and preserving a proper balance of the olectrtcal element which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which causes disease. There are strictly but two conditions ot disease one ot inflammation or posi tive; tbe other, weak, debilitated, negative and as electricity contains these two conditions in the action orthe positive aud negative currents, all we have to do Is to neutralise the disease aud restore proper healthy action. Among the chronic diseases in which electricity has been and Is daily being, by our agenoy , of the greatest ntillty. a cure being rapidly effected after tbe failure ot all other means, are: 1. Epilepsy, Chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis (Hemplegla), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness, Pal pitation of ihe Heart, Locklaw, etc. 2.

Advices from Europe this morning by cable and steamship are of tba hichest importance. Prusuia takes high grouni on the question ot Luxembourg, and declares now that she not only declines the mediation recently tendered by the great powers in the interest of peace, but that she will not retire lrom tbe Tuchy. It will be understood tbat this time this is not mere newspaper rumor, nor some fugitive canard from the Stock Exchange; but a formal announcement from the Govern ment organ at Berlin. It now remains to be seen in what temper France will receive this declaration. Tbe whole tenor of the advices by the steamer's mails received to-day, is of a character to show that the popular leeling there is im patient for hostilities, and backed up now with the prospect of an alliance with Austrla.it is more thau probable the feeling will at once acquire iresh strength, and make it difficult for the Emperor to recede if he would. There is no chaupo to notice in the Money market, and the supply is still largely In excesa of the demand. Call loans are 6ti per cent, on Government and stock collaterals, and prime discounts 6J7 per cent. The Gold market waa more animated this morning under the foreign news, and there was an advance of 1 per cent, in the premium. The price opened at 138A and rosetol39.
