Ktc, Ktc, Etc., Ktc., Etc., TUB nOHTICCLTUBAL SOCIETY ef rennejlvaoia, odo of the time-honored insti lutioos of the cily, was incorporated by the legislature of the State In 1831, but had been hi active operation ior several years previous, kaving been fin instituted in 1827. It is there fore the oldest Horticultural Society in the United States. During the forty years which kave passed since its organization, it has num laered a membership of more than two thousand. Among its contributing and honorary members, at all times in its history, as well as at the pre tent time, have been found tho wealthiest and jnost intelligent citizens of Philadelphia and tho surrounding country. The object of tho Society, as shown by its iltlc, has been the encouragement ot fruit cul ture. With this end in view, it has held monthly and jearly exhibitions, at which over f 20,000 have been awarJod iu premiums from time to lime. It has also collected a library larger and more valuable than any other ot a similar char acter in this country, which, contains not only all published works bearing directly on the leading objects of the Society, but those treat ing of fciudred scientific subjects as well. Mem tiers of the Society have access to the library at all times, and on the tiist and third Tuesday evenings of each month a committee is in at tendance, lor the purpose ot loaning books to such as may desire to peruse them at their homes. Horticultural science Is also greatly promoted by monthly discussions and the reading of essays, by gentlemen of eminence in their par ticular departments. The list for the remain der of the curient year embraces the following: June 4 "Cut Flower Trade," by Mr. W. C. Strong, Brighton, Mass. August 6 "Window Gardening." by Mr. It. Soon. September 8 "T be Pear a nil lis Culture," by Mr. P. T. cjiilnu. Newark, N. J. October 1 "Someot the Differences Between North ern aud Southern Gardening," by Mr. 1. J. Derck jnaus, Augusta, tin. November 5 "Evergreens that have been well tested." by Mr. Joslab Uoopes. West Chester, Pa, December 8 "Varieties aud Hports," by Professor George Thuiber, Editor of the American ApricutlwUt. The privileges of the library and discussions are reserved exclusively for the members of the Society, but competition for premiums at the regular monthly and yearly exhibitions is open to all the world. The annual fees required of a member are but three dollars, and a person may become a life member on the payment of only twenty-live dollars, which carries with it the free use of the library at the hall and at home, as well as one member's and two ladies' tic kets to each monthly meeting and exhibition. ,.

In former years the Society met at the old Chinese Museum, on Ninth street, but of lato they have had the use ot the large nan on tne comer of Broad and Walnut streets. These quarters becoming too restricted, about two years ago the project of a new hall was dis- i cussed. At first it was proposed that the Society should join its resources to those of the His torical and other learned societies of the city, and that they should in combination erect a building which would not only afford ample facilities for all the associations interested, but would prove an addition to the architectural Tbeanty of Philadelphia. For some reason or ether this plan failed, and on ithe 17th of January, 1866, the Society resolved upon the erection of a hall of their own. Subscriptions for this purpose were solicited by a committee of twenty-live, then appointed, and consisting of the following gentlemen: D. Rodney King. Chairman; M. W. Baldwin, Calob Cope, General R, Pulleren, J. K Mitchell, Fulrinan Hogers, S. S. Price, Charles P. Hayes, Thomas P. James, W. L.Kchttll'er, Hubert Uuisl, K. M. Marshall, - Henry A, Dreer, A. W. Harrison. James HHchie, Peter Mackenzie, Charles Murmur, Robert Cornelius, G. H. Durgin, M. D. Thomas, C. Perclval, Thomas lieehan, John Lambert, Samuel J. Sharpless, James i, Clagborn, U. W. Karl. The Society selected for the site ot their new "Imilding the lot adjoining the Academy of Music on the south, with a frontal of eeventy five feet on Broad street, and a depth of two hundred feet. Between the new hall and the Academy there is an open space of niteen feet, while on the south side lies Westmore land street, which is thirty feet in width. The plan and drawines from which H was built were prepared by Messrs. Sloan & Hutton, the welt-known architects, of No. 152 South ' Fourth street. The construction of the eiltice - was placed under the superintendence of Mr. "Benjamin H. Shedaker, who had charge of the erection ol the famous Sanitary Fair building on Logan Square. tacit department ol the work was given out on a separate contract to the lowest responsible bidder, and thus the greatest economy was secured. It was begun , about the 10th of September Itibt, aud so rapidly has the worn been pushed that, notwithstand- , ing the severity of the winter, it is already nearly completed. , DESOBIPTION OP THE NEW HALL. . The frontage of the new hall on Broad street Is 75 feet in width aud 00 feet in height. It., is , ' constructed of smoothly dressed pearl-grey Leipervilie stone, the window-dressings and corners being of red etindstone. Over the entrance there Is a slightly projecting portico, supported by tlx columns Qf the latter 'material. The side and rear walls are of brick, und thirty one inches in thickness. The main entrance on Broad street is gained by a rise of only six leet from tho sidewalk, and opens into a handsome vestibule, 20 by 42 feet iu dimensions. Ou either side ot this is a ticket onlce and a dressing room, one for ladies and 2feetr fr Sei'-lemen, each of which is 17 by 8twtavsTearti0f .the, dins-rooms are wide the ealler i A2 1 tbe basement halls, and to :.-r-?allFlts.f the main auditorium and tI.a juyer. ine latter, which t unatoA tn.m '7,. ately over the and extends the entire lon-t h r . h n nB"ioom'i front is nr. m.". slno"tn8 Broad street dimensions wfth VVnent' 2J b I ' lu oimensions, jvlth a height of 30 feet It will .

Tno ont adiolnlnff Broad street is 2a bv 70 feet., with . height of 12 feel. Just in the rear of this U the banqueting hall, of the same height, and 70 feet In wiUtn by 112 in lengtn. it win atiord amnle neating room for one thousand persons. At tho rear of the building is the rehearsing hall. eituated immediately under the stage of the auditorium, from which it is accessible by means of two private stairways. There ts also nrivure entrance unon Westmoreland street. This hall Is 16 feet in height, and 25 by 70 feet in dimensions. The auditorium, into which the vestibule opens directly, In one of the largest and finest in the city, and will contain, on the main floor, regularly numbered 6ent,g for fifteen hundred person. It Is 71 feet in width, 120 In length, and 50 in height. Extending around three sides, on a level with the foyer, is an ample gallery, accessible by stairways from the vestibule, end also from the western end of the main floor. In this gallery there will be placed seats for five hundred i ctsone, thus giving the auditorium a capacity to sent lully two thousand spectators altogether. The gallery is similar in character to Ibe one in tbe upper saloon of the famous old Chinese Museum; and during the exhibitions of the Society, and on similar occasions, the seats will be removed, to airord an opportunity for promenading. The gallery is supported by six teen large mid handsome bracket?, tho sides of which are decorated with cornucopias in high relief. At tho rear of tho auditorium, and elevated five feet above the floor, is the stage. This is flanked by ornamental columns, which leave an opening of 42 feet for the curtain. The stae is 31 feet deep, and extends the entire width of tho hail, 71 feet. It will therefore accommodate two hundred chorus singers, in addition to the orchestra and other essential uccompanlments ot concerts and oratorios. In the construction of the auditorium great care has been taken to secure the best musical effects attainable. Tho walls and ceilings are quite plain, but will be elegantly frescoed, although this last additional charm will not be imparted to tho structure during the present season, as some months must necessarily elapse belore the plastering will be properly prepared to receive and retain tbe paint. There is an abundant supply of both light and ventilation. Hxleen large windows serve to itd.mt the sun light, und at night, when the two hundred and thirteen gas jers are in full blaze, the light of day will be fairly rivalled. Under the gallery, and dependent Irom it, there are seveuteeu ele cant t handi lieiv. with three jets each: Iu front of the gallery there are eighteen brackets, each one furnished with five jets: and projecting irern the wall, above the gallery, there are eighteen niorc brackets, with lour tuts e.ich. As the different halls in the building will ac commodate about three thousand persons at the hanie time, great atleution has bsen paid to securing buthcient strength, l'ght, and ventila tion, and moie particularly to means of exit in case of lire or sudden panic. To secure this latter object there are two doorways on West moreland street, and two others on the north si'Je ol the building, in addition lo the main entrance on Broad street. And all the doors are made to open outwards. Huch Is an imperfect sketch of the new Music Hall which is about to be thrown open to the public In this city. In size and beauty it is superior to any similar hall in the city, and without a rival in the country. As it U 75 by 200 feet In dimensions, it covers an area of 15,000 square feet, while National Hall takes up but about 12,000, and the Musical Fund Hall only 7200 square leet. Tho large Hall of the old Chinese Museum, which was destroyed by fire ou the 15th of July, 185-1, covered an area of about 12,000 square feet. The two largest build ings of the kind in New York city are Irving Hail aud Steinway Hall, the former having aa area ot 9375 and tbe latter of 9225 square feet. And even the much-talked-of Music Hall in Bouton, the local habitation ot "the great organ," covers only 10.20B squar feet. The work upon the new Broad street hall is well advanced in all the different apartments, the foyer and the front hall of the ground floor being the most backward at the present time. But neither of these will be required for the opening occasion. The seats, which are very com for. able, were manufactured dar ing the winter, and are ready to be placed In position as soon as they shall be needed. These, and all the other appurtenances of the establishment, will be entirely finished by the 1st of July, so that the fresco work will alone remain Incomplete after that date. The entire cost of the structure is about $160,000, the building alone costing trotn $100,000 to $110,000. M:auy of our public-spirited citi zens have already come to the assistance of the Society, by subscribing to the stock of the new Hall; but still further aid is needed before the entire expense of I ho undertaking can be liqui dated. An opportunity will be ottered to per sons to subscribe at the anuroaehincr Bazaar, and it is to be hoped that many will avail themselves of it. In addition to contributing to tho orna mentation of tbe city, they will receive aa ample return for their'investment, as tho Rtock will always pay a handsome dividend. Many engagements have already been made for the nee of the Hall during the summer, and when it is once fairly inaugurated, it will become the favorite resort in the city for concerts, oratorios, onus, lectures, anu exhibitions ot all kinds and characters. THE GRAND OPENING OF TBE NEW HALL will take place on Wednesdav next, the 29th instant, by tLe inauguration of a fine horticul- tural display and lancy bazaar, for the sale of pianis, nowers, iruits, vegetables, ana useful artieies or a miscellaneous character. This affair will be under the superintendence of the ionowiog committees: Kcecvllve Vommittte Miss Perclval. Chairman- Ariao Robert Jluist. Mrs. J. K.
