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

Fact V. 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.

Interested parties, that Iiillie's Bate had gone up, aud
had ruined .Llllle, etc., 1 would suy that ut no tune In
the lust two years could Llllle A bou half supply the
demand loi Hjlee, and were under the necessity of
