THE DAILY EVENING, TELEGRAril PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1807. HORTICULTURAL HALL. TOR eBAND OFEHINO IA8T EVBKIKO flrKBCHF.8 BT J). KODHBT KINO, IUJSODOBB CUyLKR, JOUS ; WBLSn, AND OTHERS. 1 iiftt evening the new Tlortlcultnral Hall, at the corner of Broad aod Westmoreland greets, M lrwaUy dedicated, accordm 10 the pro- Arm Tho arrangement of the Interior of the SuUdinR were in complete order, aud the articles Sd exhibition numerous and varied enough to elicit unqualified praise from all prwut. The n mic water all upon the W and the Urw fountain In the centre of the Hall, were bo ti tnnninit, and attracted many admirer. JU3t n front 01 the Mane the Satterl.e Band, under the leadership of Hermann, were stationed, and during the course of the evenina a selection ot musical firms was finely rendered by tharn. At eleht o'clock a number or the members or Ihe Society assembled at tho old ball, at the corner ol Broad and Walnut street', trora which place they proceeded to the new b'tlldin?. On entering they were presented to the lad lien or tho executive committee, alter which half an hour was devoted to on ln"Ppct? J articles on exhibition. At iilne o'clock tie members ol the society, and her specially inyitcd guests, all of whom were distinguished from the rent of the world by an anpendago of crcen ribbon affixed to their buttonholes, were reqnested to walk down stairs. As vanom rumors had been set afloat concerning the nature of the ceremonies to bo there observe I, comtideiable cuiuiity to witness ihem was manl estrd, and In less than ten minutes a fcrren ribbon could scarcely be found on the upper floor. . , ,, At the reiir of the banqueting hall a larsro pluttorni hnd been erected, and covered with settees. To the left of the entrance were sta tioned two tables, tne most distant of which was loadi d down with salads, cold meats, water Ices, creams, aud fruits. On the other table was a splendid collection of tumblers and glass muus, nrraneed about a large ooen bowl, in tho which floated at random fragments of ico and halves 1 lemons. The floating medium was a reddish liquid whicb appeared to excite tho curiosity of every person who entered the hall. And as he entered almost every one satisfied his curiosity aud slaked his thirst at the same time, by par taking of the mysterious reddish liquid in question. As toon as the party had succeeded in forcing their way past the large open bowl, they col lected about the platiorrn in the rear, the set tees being filled with the more distinguished of those present. Then Mr. I). Rodney King, the President of the Society, culled the assemblage to order, and proceeded to deliver the following interesting address: SPEECH OF MR. D. RODNEY KINO. The pleasing duty has been assigned to ms of OODgnnuiaung joa ou ma completion ot luniuo atantial and commodious building, and of bidding yon, in the name ot this Society, a hearty welcome Within its spacious walls. That this Hall was greatly needed, not only by the .Society under whose auBptces It has been erected, but also by onr citizens generally, must be admitted by all. For forty long years has this nseful Society been compelled to wander from place to place In search of proper accommodations, with no permanent location or abode, and It may not only be Interest ing but nseful to trace the Society tn these wan dering', in order that we may the more fully ap preciate tbe advantages we will now enjoy. The first meeting for tbe formation of the So ciety was held in the lecture room of the Franklin Institute, on Saturday, the Ulth of Novembsr, 1827, In pursuance of a call which was published in tne dally newspapers, as follows: "Those persons de sirous to form a Horticultural Society are request ed to meet at tbe Franklin Institute, on Saturday next, at 12 o'clock." At this, meeting Mathew Carey was called to the chair, and tbe following resolution was pasted: "Resolved, that it is exps diont to establish a Horticultural Society In the city of Philadelphia for the promotion of that in teresting and highly important branch of science, and that a constitution be formed for that purpose. Tbe two subsequent meetings were held la the Franklin Institute. Baring tbe year 18-28 the So ciety held two ot its meetings at No. 173 Oaesnut street, and at one of these, viz: on tbe 2d of Jnae, Horace Binney was chosen the first President. I'or tbe remainder of tbe year 1623, and dnrlng the year lbUD, tbe Society occupied the basement room under the hall of the American Philosophical So ciety, in the east wing of the State House. Daring the year 1830 ( with one exception) tbe Society tteld Its meetings in the ball of tbe Phoenix Fire Com panyl In Zane street. Tbls exception was tbe May meeting, wblch was held In the large room attaoh ed to Mrs. Wercler'e confectionery and Icecream saloon, in south Third street, east side, above Spruce. During the year 1831 the Society con tinned to occupy Phoenix Hall, but tbe anniver sary meeting was held in the Franklin Institute. From May, 1838, to May, 1833, it occupied tbe pre mises No. 121 Cnesnut street. From June, 1833, to March, 1842, a period of nearly cine years, It oc cupied tbe basement room under tne Philosophical Society. In March, 1812, It rented the lower sa loon of the Chinese Musenm, ( which stood at tbe northeast corner of Ninth and teorgek or Sansom street,) and continned to occupy it until It was burneu on the 5th of July, 1851, a period of nearly twelve years. The excellent accommodations which the Society enjoyed in this building no doubt had some effect in postponing the building ol a hall. This spa cious edifice, with its two halls, of an aggregate length of over lour hundred feet, enabled the So ciety, during this space of twelve years, to give those magnificent annual displays which have never since been equalled by this, or, perhaps, by any other society lu this country, and which are doubtless remembered by many of yon as among the brightest and most beautiful scenes of the past. After the destruction ot that building, and until the 2itb. of February, 1855, the society ooca. pied Sansom Street Hall and tbe Assembly Build, ing, when it leased Concert Hall In Ohesnut street, and continued to ocenpy it until January, 18(12, a period of seven years, when It rented the ball (until recently occupied by the Society) at the southwest corner of Broad and Walnut streets. But this Is not all. In addition to this great num ber and variety ot places of meeting, the socloty has been compelled, for want of other accommo dation, to hold its annual exhibitions, at different times, In tbe Masonic Hall, the Chinese Museum, In tents on Penn square, in Concert Hall, in the Musical Fund Hall, In the Academy of Munlo, and In a large tent or pavilion ou the spot which this bnilding now occupies. These laots are am ply suttlcient to prove to yon bow greatly this hall was needed by this Society, and I will not oo cupy yonr time by attempting to prove what you already know, that this building was equally needed for general purposes. Tbls Is not tbe first time that the building of a ball has occupied tbe attention of this Society. As early as the 2ath of October, 1810. It was resolved, That a subscription of one thousand shares of stock, of fifty dollars each, be opened for the pur pose of creating a fund to erect a hall lor the per manent accommodation of tbe Society;" and in a report of a committee in charge of the subject It la mentioned as one cause of their (all a re In obtain, ing the requisite amonnt of subscriptions the frar that the proposed location of tbe hall, via., at tbe B. E. corner of Fifth and Library streets, (the lot on wblch the Mercantile Library was subsequently built,) was too far east, an opinion in which most viam str Mtllnpt.lv Jkftar fhlu a nnm mnnlcation was received from the Franklin Insti tute asking for its co-operation in tbe erection of a large bnilding for the accommodation of the an. until exhibitions of both societies; bnt this scheme inn nroved abortive. Philadelphia and vicinity claims the honor of baving given me earnest ana strongest impulses to the study and practice of the sciences of botany and horticulture In this country. Long before the revolution, and as early as OT, John Bartram established a botanic garden and arboretum on the banks of the Schuylkill, which is still in existence. He and his son William, and bis cousin, Humphrey Marshall, collected and In troduced into England more than a thousand new species of plants and trees, besides a great number of varieties belonging to species already known. More than one hundred and forty years ago John Bartram established, on the banks of tbe Schuyl kill, a botanic garden and arboretum, In wnicn no and bis son William cultivated many of tbe plants and trees collected by them during their travels through the Carolina and Florida, then a howling Wilderness. In 17tto Doctor Adam Kuhn, of this city, was appointed the first protestor of botany in the col lege hers. In 1777 John Jackson, of London Grove, Ches ter county, Pennsylvania, commenced another botanic garden which is still In existence, and In 1700, two brothers, Joshua and Samuel Pierce, of Kaat Marlborough, Cheater county, Pennsylva nia, planted an arboretum, principally of ever greens or conifers, which is probably at the pre sent time one of the most complete in the United (States. . In 1803 Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton, of this city, published the first elementary work on the atudy of botany In this country. In the year isnn Amdre Miohanx, and Ihio, his , son, F. Andre Mlchaux, two dl.tlngnlhed French botnniftts, visited this country, and both found In this city congenial minds among the members of tbe American Philosophical Society, and In gra titude lor thn many kind attentions received by the yonnger Mlchnnx from Ihe members of that so ciety he bequeath? tl a large share of his fortune to It, on the death of his widow, who is now quite aged, In trnst, for tbe formation of a botanic gar den and arboretum. I hope most sincerely that Ibis may form the nucleus of an Institution of that kind, and that onr city authorities may seoond the excellent institution of this learned foreigner, by appropriating one of the pnblio parks, Hunt ing I'aik, for Instance, for the pnrpose. In 1818 a foimer president of the Society, '. ccheus Collins, together with John Vaugban, Wm. Maclnre and Joseph Cores de Serra, contributed toafnndto enable that remarkable and eelf-tanght genius, i nomas rsnttftii, to mnae a botanical tonr of the western pert of the then United States and terri tories, and afterwards of California and the British possessions on the Pacillo, by the way of Crpe Horn. Besides those already mentioned were many other botanists scarcely l s distin guished, and among them I may name James Lo gin, Ir. Henry Muhlenberg, Keuben Hstnes, Frederic Pursb, formerly gardener to William Hamilton, at the Woodlands, and tbe lamented Dr. W. Darlington, and among tbe many distinguished living botanists of tbls city I may mention Ellas Durund, Dr. Leldy, Proressor Oeorgn B Wood, and Professor Horatio O. Wood, Professor Joseph Carson, Thomas Meehan, editor of the Garde iter's Monthly, and corresponding secretary of the Society, and many others. Philadelphia also claims the honor of having given tbe rarliest attention to tbe study and prao. lice of horticulture, as well as botany. Gabriel Thomas, In his "Historical and Geographical Ao count of the Province and County of Pennsyl vania," says that "as early as 1686 Judge Grow den hath a very noble and tine honse on the Ne shaminy river, very pleasantly situated, aud like wise a famous orchard wherein are contained above one thousand apple trees;" and that Edward tbippey (or Shippen) has au orchard and gardens arjoinlng his great house, that equaliiti if not excteds any I have seen." In 1680 Wm. Penn writes to his steward, James Hurrlson, In rgard to his vineyard planted some jenrs before at his manor of Springettsburg near Fairmonnt, as follows: "Although the vineyard be as yet of no value, and I might beontof pocket, till I come be regardful to Andrew Dore, tbe Frenchman. He is hot, but I think honest." This refers to the vigneron sent out by Penn to introduce vineyards and wine-making into the province. At this same manor of Sprmgettsbnrv Thomas Penn built a large and elegant villa near tbe spot where tbe Preston Retreat now stands, about tbe year 1730. It was kept np by the Penn family until 1784, when the mansion was burned. There were here a large greenhouse and fine collection of plants; and the papers of the day announce that tbe great Americau aloe bloomed there In the year 1777 The name of the gardener at that time was James Alexander. Tbe garden belonging to Isaac Norrls, at Fair bill, on tbe Gerraautown turnpike, was remark able for its beauty as early as 1718. Francis Daniel Pastorius, who was himself a distinguished horti culturist, attributes tbe gardens and grounds to Mrs. Norris and her sisters, and addresses them in the following language: "I write an article respecting the treating of gardening, llowers and trees, knowing that you are lovers of gardens the one keeping at Fairhill the finest I hitherto have seen in the whole country, tilled with abundance of varieties, physical and metaphysical; the other a pretty little garden, mnch like my own, producing chiefly cordial, stomachic and culinary herbs." ' But lime would fail me in describing the many beantiful villas which surrounded Philadelphia during the Colonial or pre-revolntionary period, and I can only name a tew of them. Springetts bury, Landsdowne, Solitude, Letltia House and the Governor's Mansion, belonging to tbe Penn family; Stenton, the seat of the Logan family; Ollevden, of tbe Chew ;Bnsh Hill and tbe Wood lands, of the Hamilton; Wilton, of the Turner; Belmont, of the Peters: Sedgeley, of tbe Cram mond; Egglesfield, ot tne Griffith, and a great number ot others, Including tba Wharton mansion, near the Navy. yard, whore the celebrated enter tainment called tbe Mescbianza was given by tbe British officers during the Revelation. The grounds of all these villas were planted with rare trees and plants, and many of them were embellished with statuary, fountains, eto. Subsequent to the Revo lution, as Philadelphia recovered from tbe ett'eots of the war, the number of fine country seats, rapidly Increased, until now every suburb Is but a constant succession of them. The markets of Philadelphia, particularly of fruits and vegetables, are remarkable for their ex cellence and variety, and tbls may be attributed In part to the great variety of soil by which It Is surronnded. New Jersey and Delaware, with their light and tandy soils, snpply ns with melons, peaches, sweet potatoes and early vegetables, while the alluvial soils of the "Neck," and the calcareous soils of Montgomery, Bucks and Ches ter counties, snpply ns.wlth the other fruits and vegetables. But while we acknowledge the advantages that Philadelphia possesses in soil and climate, we must still attribute much of the excellence of her markets, and much of tbe beauty of her suburbs, to the Influence of this and other similar societies, which collect and disseminate the experience of intelligent and skilful cultivators, lu order that the novice may be benefited. Compare the markets of the present day, of fruits and vegetables, with those of the time of the formation of this Society, and yon will perceive the great Improvement wblch has already been effected. These facts are suttlcient to prove to you that this Society is justly entitled to your patronage and support, and I therefore commend this present enterprise (got up by the ladies of Philadelphia with the sume zeal and energy that characterized them at the great Sanitary Fair) to your liberal and generous support. To them, and especially to that lite-long friend of the Society, without whose energy, per severence and careful superintendence, it is scarcely too much to say, this Bazaar would never have teen held, and also to those gentlemen who have given so much ot their time, attention and means to tbe erection and decoration of this build ing, your thanks are most justly due. And now a word or two in regard to the build ing. Although the sum at the disposal of the Society for the erection of so large an edifice was quite limited, yet no expenss has been spared to render It, what they conscientiously believe It to be, one of tbe strongest if not the strongest build ing of the kind in the city; and it is now offered to the use of the citizens of Philadelphia without a delect or blemish of any kind. With foundation walls over four feet thick: with side and end walls thirty-three inches thick and containing nearly one million of brick; with a floor capable of sustain ing four times the weight that it will probably ever have to bear; with a roof pronounced by many competent judges to be unnecessarily strong; with ample means of ventilation and ease of access and exit, (being but little above the ground level and proviued with nine doors for exit); with every convenience and appliance necessary to adapt it to the great variety of purposes for which it may be needed I cay, with all these advantages, it cannot fail to receive a large share ot thepublio patronage. The absence of much ornamentation in the in terior of the main hail may be criticised by some, but If tbe ladies are successful with this bazaar, it is their intention to devote the proceeds parity, If not wholly, to its decoration in fresco In the highest style of the art, and with designs lu har mony with tbe character of tbe building, Buch as frnit, flowers, eto , botanlcally correct. The entrance to the hall from Broad street has been criticised as being too narrew and contracted for a building of this size, but it should be borne In mind that the entire front of this building is but 75 feet, scarcely one-half of that of the Academy of MubIc, and of this frontage more than one-third Is devoted to the entrance. The absolute necessity of ladies' dressing-room and a library-room tor the Society rear tbe entrance, will furnish suttl cient reasons for not making It wider. But this defect, it so it may bi called, U amply compensated by the four large doors of exit on the sides of the building, and when you add to this the fact that almost tbe entire audience will be seated ou tbe ground liior, with no stairs to descend, it is sup. poted that less time will be consumed In dls. charging an audience than is usually the case in other buildings. It is our Intention shortly to cover the side ex tend walls of the building with Portland cement, of ths same color as the grey stone In the front. A more full and detailed description of the building Will be given you by others. Before closing, allow me again to commend this coble and disinterested enterprise ot ths ladies to your generous and liberal appreciation. It only remains for me now to declare this Hall formally opened aud dedicated to ths uses for which it was built. SPEECHES BT OTHEB GENTLEMEN followed, Theodore Cuyler, Fsq., beiud first In troduced. Mr. Cuyler commenced by stating that bis Honor the Mayor was momenurlly expected, but hid not jet made his appearance. For this reason be had been called upon to make a few remarks, and would proceed to do so briefly. Mr. Uuyler was, happily, as good as tits word. He ottered a few words of hearty, earnest, and sincere congratulation to the So ciety on its anal location Iji a permanent and beautiful Lome, Vr. John Wrlfh followed, rotieln' briefly tho progress of the Horticultural Society, and the mannerin.whlr.ta It could contribute to the IinppIneM! of Ibis people. He ieforred to the claim which flowers possessed lor all classes of the people, and stroncly urged the completion and beautifying ol our great public park ti trie next thiDg essential to tho adornment of tho city. - - ....... Mr. Caleb Cope crime next. He also referred to the past hlntory ol the Society, and coniratu latcd it henrttly upon the Inauguration of its new find handsome hall. Ho thought It a peat sbRroe that Philadelphia had no public nail where Its people could assemble to discuss ths affairs of the city, aud trusted tb.il tbe time was not far distant when this great want would be aupplied. Mr. Cope also uatued some of tho early bonanists of the city, and noticed the lively impetus they had piveu to ihe study of thac dtliphlful so'enee throughout Uic coun try. He made a beautiful reforenre to the wis dom displajcd In tho lormavton of flowers, and tbe manner in which their study leads us to the contorop'ation of the Creator nnd (iroat Architect who has constructed all things for our good. The concluding address was made by Profoj sor Horatio Wood, Jr., of the University, who sketched the early hintory and proare-ts of the Academy of Natural Sciences and similar insti tutions, and urged upon Councils the great necessity of establishing in our city a great botanical garden. Tbe parsy then adjourned to tbe other end of tbe hall, nnd in tbe twinkling of an eye the table lurlhest from the door wai relieved of its adornments. Chicken and lobster salad were severely punished lor their temerity in ven turing into such a gathering. Pickled oysters were taught a similar lesson, which will not soon bo forgotten, and the exhaustion and warmth caused by theee tevcral performances were relieved in the end by instalments of vanilla cream and water ice. Nor was tho mysterious liquid in tbe large open bowl on the other table fullered to maintain a permanent level. This Interesting operation was eagerly observed by a committee of hungry loungers who gazed in amazement upon the scene through the open windows. By balf-past 10 o'clock the tables were bare and desolated, and then the whole company adjourned, to battle for the night with fiery dragons, monstrous serpents, and other hideous creatures which follow tho nightmare about. FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOFSAFES VJOrtE ABOUT LILLIE'SCHILLED-IRON SAFES IMPORTANT FACTS -nil I til THE PEOPLE SHOULD " MAKE A NOTE O F." TACT I. LTIXTE'B CTIILLED-IRON SAFES have been largely Introduced fur the last twelve years, and sold lo those havlni; the largest amount ol valuables, as ihe best and u.ost thoroughly liurglur Proof fale; and, up lo the Ibm tlirte yearn, it has beon as rare tn bear ol one ot LH lie's Sates having been robbed by burgliirB, as to see or hear ot a white blackbird or a white elephant. Fact II. It Is notorious that the profession of the burglar has advanced at a rauld puce within the lust eltht years, and what was thoroughly burtlar-pruof then Is not so now, which accounts lur the fact that within the lust three years very few of litllle's Hales have been robbed, nnd the secret anonymous circulars distributed by other safe-makers lat terly, showing a va y few esses only. Is the strongest evtoence that b t a very small number have been robbed to this time, notw iilidtunOiny tho large num ber in use, and the umuuut ut stake 11 successful. Fact III. Thtre are two, and only two, general and IcaUiug prlucldles upon which all burglar-proof sales ivre coiiNtrueted. The one In pourlug liquid Iron betweeu and around bars of wrought Ireu, hard ened streel, or any proper combination of metals. This principle la utlpud by 1.1 1 lie, In the Chilled iron S-nle, and covered aud controlled by his letters patent. 77ie other Is made np of layers of plates, or different metals, held together Us boils or riveix. or both. To this iTluclple llier are varluus otijectlona: TUB coat l double. TLe wrought lrou plates, which are the strength of the sale, are outmde, and ure operated upon by the whole catalogue ot bui'glur.V toola. The bolls or rivets ure easily lorced by suitable tools with or without powder, nnd cannot be sustained Ihe. former principle,, adopted ly Mule, avoids ull these objections, can be made any thickness, and withstand any amount of resiHtauce required; avoids tbe rivets, bo 11b, etc.: has no wrought lrou outside to be operated upon by burglars' Implements. Fact IV. Mr. Llllle, tbe Patentee, so soon as he learned that It was possible with Ihe modern Im proved tools lor buiglars to grind through chilled irun or hardened bteel, b)gan experimenting to avoid the dIUiculiy, aud alter much lubor ana expense he bus perfected a system lor chilling iron aud combin ing metula Hint Is entiicly piool against the bin ular's drill, or any other of his tools, even the wedge, war ranted to stand the hardest test practicable lor uny burglar to make.

The proposition made the public hereto fore Is now renewed: I will Ornish Sales or Vault Jjoora, of same size aud capacity of other best makers, aud ut one-lli Ird less price; and the sums may be tested when ilnlshid, and I will furnish tne man lo test the work of uny other maker, and he shall fur nlhh the man to test my work ; uud the party so order ing may accept Ihe work which stands the most re sistance, lu any way or manner praciicuble lor a burglar to work. Fact V!. I would now tay to any of the owners of Iiillte'8 Bales, thai, lu view ol the preceding lat is, If they leel the need of additional security, 1 will ex change with them, on lair terms, givlmt tliem all the late improvements, and the Increased security, which Is claim, d to be beyond the reach of Jiurglara, until some new system shall be developed In the working ot lrou, w hich would now seem hardly pueblole. Fact Vii. It Is true that the blieel-Iron or common Paie, us now made, under ordinary circumstances (and when not crushed by the lull ot wuilsor limbers) usually saves the written matter, but if the lire is se vere it has to be copied, for the Ink will soon lude out; besides, the sale is twisted up aud useless. It Is equally true that the Cbilled-lron Bare saves Ihe written matter lu a perlect state, (hat it does not lade out or require copying, and that the sale Itself Is ready lor lurtber use. Any number of trials lu fires, certllied to, prove ihene lucts, and If any of the sale venders who are distributing secret, anonymous circulars to injure the reputation ol i.H.LlK'ri are not sutlslied with these statements, thev can have the opportunity ol testing by lire one of their own hares with IdLLlK'ti, ou equal terms, whenever they so decide.
