Within thirty minutes' ride of Broad and l'rl me streets ono can reach the town of old Chester, on the Baltimore Railroad, and about tbe same time from Chesnut street wharf by steamboat on the river Delaware. (Seventeen years ago (18-30) It contained no more than 1W7 Inhabitants; to-day It boasts of 12,000 to 1:1,000. It bas the honor of being the oldest town in Pennsyl vania. Two hundred and tw only-five years ago the Indians prowled around Us Streets, or the places now covered with streets, and the great American eagle soared aud soared and soared so high It makes one sore to think of It. But lu IMS a Jun- full of Swedes arrived, put their hooks in, and scrouged the lujuns out. and they culled the place Upland. The only JnJuDs ever Keen there since Hie those who ooDie down on the yachts from the West Jersey Ferry. Thirty-nine years afterwards Mr. Penn arrived from England with a boat-load of flrst clafcs Quakers, and, as he found there wasn't a nrst-ciass hotel In Chester to put up at, he passed on up tbe river and fouuded I'lillaciel- fhla. While he was building the Quaker City le established tbe capital of the I'roviuce at Chester. It Is now 185 yean since William Mr. Penn, we mean shook tbe dust of Chester from his shoes, beuause there wasn't a decent hotel in the place, and everybody else has been doing tbe same thing for tbe past 186 years, liut there Is a man In our town, as the old ballad sayti, who thought It was about time this thing stopped, aud he determined that Ches ter should not be behind her sister towns lu attracting visitors to her shores. The tremendous outgrowth of I'htladelphia .lias leached this suburb, and where orst was naught but a solitary and deserted pier, now resounds with the busy bum of Industry. Wharves have been built, large foundries erected, and shipyards sprung Into aotlve life. A new bote), with all the modern conveniences, became an absolute necessity; and to the liberality end public spirit of Major lieale tho citizens of Chester will owe tbe handsomest improvement that the old town has seen in 224 yenis. A beautiful site has been selected near the depot, easy 0 Recess from the river aud the railroad to summer vlsltora, commanding a fine view of the river aud the shipping, aud tbe plans are now In the hands of sir. Crump, tbe architect, which, when completed, will re sult in the erection of a large, handsomebotel, by t lie latter part of May next, at a oast of about J.r0,(JUO. This hotel, we understand, will be under the maniigement of Mr. John C. Klsley, of the Con tinental Hotel. The well-known energy, expe rience, and ability or Mr. uisiey are at once a gnai tilitee of success. Of one thing the patrons of the new hotel may be assured, whatever will tend to their comfort and amusement will always be his aim; and to those in quest of real enjo ment a ride or drive to Chester will better repi-y them than by going hundreds of miles away from homo, to become tbe prey of rapa cious landlords at summer hotels. Reunion of the Tcpils of Nazareth Hall. This Institution, distant from this city about 60 in lies, in the pleasant town from whioh It de rives its name. Is distinctively a Christian in stitution, bestowing tbe benefits of its training and culture on youth from all parts of our coun try. Many of Its students, dnrlng the gjoomy days of the late civil strife, responded to tbe call of onr country, aud of the number that went out, twenty-six sealed their devotion to the great cause with their blood. The remain ing students have made all preparations for having a reunion on tbe 15th of June, 1868; during which it is proposed to have an appro priate memorial service to the memory of their fallen brothers. It Is designed to place a ceno taph, having a shaftof thirty-five feet In height, within the "Green" which surrounds the ball Tbe monument is to be executed by our fellow- citizen, Mr. William fcUrutuers, and is to cost At this Institution, many prominent person ages, who were more or less noted daring the war, were educated.

Another Postpouemeat "On Aocoant of f Toldable Circumstances" The Dis play to Come OflT Ta-Hlffbt-lemethlar About Other Grand Showers. The shooting of the stars was unavoidably psstponed last night not In oonseqttenoe of the weather, for a more auspicious state of the atmosphere and heavens cuuld not have been desired. What was tbe precise nature of the circumstances which rendered a postponement f the grand pyrotechnic display necessary has not, as yet, been developed. There was, indeed, a mlnlainre display, which atone tlmednrlng the early morning gave slight indications of culminating in an exhibition which would have satisfied the expectations of thi most anguine. Tho; display In this city commenced about 11 o'clock last evening, from which time until about 4 o'clock this morning, small meteors were visible at Irregular Intervals. About 4 o'clock the number was greatly in cteased.and for a short time thny were to be s en at almost every point of the heavens. But there seemed to be nothing systematic about their appearance or course through the heavens, and neither In number nor grouping did they approach the dimensions or character of a regular sliownr, as was the case In some sec tions of the country, in a spasmodic way they darted lillber and thither, leaving but faint traces of their pathway across the heaven, and soon disappearing, together with their feeble trains. Extensive preparations had been made In this and other cities to observe tne pneno menon, and those who remained awake all night were partially rewarded for their pains. At Washington quite a number of the meteors were observed, starting from the east, and moving across (be r.enlth towards tbe west. The astronomers and officers on duty at tbe National Observatory, however, announce their opinion that to-nignt we will be favored with the grand display whioh was laid down on the programme for last night. One more night of anxious waiting and watohing will therefore be, necessary, audit maybe that those whose small stock of patience was not replaced last night by a large stock of disgust will not be dis appointed. The chances are certainly worth another experiment. Inasmuch as we are still subject to the hopeol witnessing the heavens "ou fiery flames," it will not be uninteresting to glance at the record made by the meteors in the past. The ancient cnronlclois were keen and Interested observers ol all astronomical phenomena, but their Im perfect knowledge of the laws which have since been discovered, and their excessive superstition, render tbe acaonnts of their ob servations exceedingly unique and entertain ing.

The Reconstruction Convention Tbe Finance Committee's Report Adopted Tlie Majority Report of the Franchise Committee Too Lenient A Sweeping Measure of Disfranchisement Desired. Montgomery, Nov. 13. The report ol the Committee on Flnanoe was adopted. This report recognizes all obligations contracted either be fore January 10, lbtil, or since the close of the wur. The remainder of the day was spont In dis cussing the report of the Committee on Fran chise. Tbe general sentiment of the Conven tion seems to be that tbe report Is too lenient, and that a more sweeping measure of dis franchisement should liuvo been reoota mended. A number of amendments, nearly all of which enlarge the number of persons dis franchised, have been oill-red. There is little doubt but that If the majority report Is changed In any way It will be made more severe. If Ibis Hhould be done, tho Convention miy end In a disruption of tbe lately organized Re publican party In this State. Tug moderate men who have Joined the party simply because there seemed to be uo other means of getting the State baok into the Union will not accept negro suffrage, unless the project of white disfran chisement be abandoned. The Convention will probatly settle the question In some way before the end of the week. Tbe Death, of Sir Frederick Draco Cord Stanley's Letter.
