From present indications, the visitors from other States will be In attendance in very large numbers, should the weather prove favorable. Considerable trouble Is experienced by the committees having charge of the supplying of hotel accommodations on April 26, the dav of celebration, and they may be compelled to request possession of the various Odd Fellows' and otner nans in tne city, ior tne purpose of providing sleeping apartments for tho thousuuds who will be In attendance.

There will be music in Hue from every section of the country, and new regalia, banners, and flags are being made as fast as the manufacturers throughout the Union can turn them out. THE MAY MAGAZINES. "The tinlaxy." From J. Edwards Clarke's article entitled "A Great Advocate," we take tuo following aneC' dotes of the lute James T. Brady, Esq.: The trial of Baker for tho murder of Poole furnished a notable instance of Mr. Brudr's in trepidity in behalf of a client. It was at the height of tho "Know-Notlilnu;" excitement, and Poole, after receiving the fatal bullet, having ex claimed, I die an American, succeeded in causing himself to be regarded as a martyr to the cause. Lingering lor days with as tho post mortem proved a bullet deeply imbedded in his heart, the interest ana excitement became in tense; and ou the day of his funeral twenty thou sand men wanted in solemn procession benuui tho collin of the martyred "rough." In such a state of public feeling Baker was put on trial for his life. At tho opening of tho chargo by the judge, aroused by its tenor, Mr. Brady seized a pen and commenced writing rapidly, indignation showing itself in his set lips nud frowning brow. The moment the judge hud ceased he was on his feet and began: "You have charged the jury thus and thus. I pro test ngninst your so stating it." Tho judge said he would listen to the objection after the jury had retired. "No," exclaimed the indig nant orator, "I choose that tho jury shall hear those objections:" aud, defying interference, he poured forth impetuously forty-five separate and formal objections, couching them all emphati cally in words of personal protest to the judge. The force of the judge's charge on that jury was ....... II,, .... 'I'lw, !l,n,n!n nt the advocate at this time was real, not simulated; and he, at least, of the New York bar, dared to defy and to denounce injustice, even when clad in ermine. Of such were those brave, eider members of the legal profession who iu former days and other lauds Kept alive the ures of civil liberty. .

This gave rise to another Incident, which Brady was fond of telling, especially when ho wished to. disarm prejudice against 'the looks of any witness or client. The trial was to be held be fore Judge diaries A. Pcubody, in the Supremo Court. The judge, lawyers, high sheriff, depu ties, and prisoner all went up in tho cars to 1'lsh kill. 1 The streets were crowded by thousands, eager to see the prisoner. As they passed to the boat to cross over to-.N'ewlmrg, tlio judge -happened to take the arm.of High Sheriff' Wlllets. Some onerecogni.iug the Sheriff, pointed out his companion us the accused murdeier,witu "Dou t von see his bloodthirsty lace ?" fancviii!r. ns Brady would say, they saw all tho lincameuts of a brutal murderer lu tne cairn, biauu matures oi ills honor. THE HVSTEED CASE. , 'Another 'Instance of his intrepidity before a judge was iu the Bustecd case. Tho judge had threatened to convict linn tor contempt, isus tecd had apologizod; and Brady also, with his matchless grace and courtesy, had tendered Btistecd's apology, but the judge still said that ho should send him to prison. "You will, will you?" said Brady. "I say you will not !" And, citing authority after authority against his power to do so, lie dared him to thus stretch his prerogative. The judge thought best to excuse Mr. Bustecd. The fertility of his mind and its rapidity of action, as shown in drawing the ob jections in the Baker trial, were once illustrated on an occasion when, on u caso beisg called, Mr. Brady answered that his side was ready. The opposite counsel also stated that ho was ready, aud appeared for tho plaintiff. "No," said Brady, -I am for the plaintiff;'' adding, "I thiuk I mubt know which side 1 am ou." Ilowever, he was at last convinced that he was mistaken. So, gathering up his papers, ho requested his Honor to excuse him for twenty minutes, as he saw ho was for the defendants Instead of, as ho hud erro neously supposed, for the plaintiffs, adding, "and, from my knowledge ot the merits of the case, I am heartily glad that I am to defend instead of prosecute!" He left the room, re turned in twenty minutes, tried, and too? the cause. HIS FERTILITY AND QUICKNESS. The Hon. Luther R. Marsh gives an Instance of Mr. Brady's fertility in an liuportaut case to which he himself had (given thorough, and, as he felt, exhaustive preparation. He asked Mr. Brady to assist on the trial, Brady having had no previous kuoweldgo of the case. "Go on and open your case fullv, use all your points without regard to iue," said Brady. Mr. Marsh did so, and nut down, wondering what new matter Mr. Brady could find to say. To his astouishment Brady rose aud presented several new ttud strik ing points.. . ' VENINQ JTELEQR APH rHIDAgELPHI A, L MOD AJ , Of his nulekness In the law of a case nn In stalled given where a recent decision adverse to his position was Introdut ed. Taking tho book In hi hand, he said It does not appear whether this case hits been henrd In the Court of Appeals, but when It Is it will be reversed fur such and such reasons; which eventimllr proved to he the exact reasons given bv the court reversing the decision. Conceding nil his wonderful brilliancy and originality, Judge Daly states, however, that hU greatness as a lawyer lay in his sound judgment in the general management of a case. ItisHtated that in no rase involving constitu tional nuestions have hU ai-gtiini-nts been re versed In the highest appellate court. Of his manner, Mr. Porter says, "Who can ever forget the peculiar manner of his we have all felt and none can describe ? It was evanescent as the fragrance of tho rose." From the time he entered the court-room his by-play with the jury eornmencod. He made himself thoroughly a't home with thctn. It is said that lie never lost a case in which he was before u jury for more than a week; by that time they saw evcrytliing wiin ins eye, lie was counsel in fifty-two capital cases, in not ono of which lie was ever unsuccessful, except that of Bcall. who was tried by a court-martial at Fort Lafavctte, ou the charge of bciug a "spy and guerilfa." j.1 is rciaieu unit wm.u imviiig nuvirussiuiij uu- fended a man chanted with murder, as he was loavinir the court the Judge said, "Mr. Brady, tho next case is that of a man charged witn murder; lie has no counsel, can you defend him ?" "Certainly." said Brady, and instantly went on with the trial. The iudge assigned him in the sauie way to two others charged with a similar crime; so that, ' In succession, he dc fended and cleared four capital cases, giving a week's unrequited time to these four criminals. He was obliged to decline to follow this up in the case of the next man, charged with bunrlury, who, having no counsel, desired him to bo as- siirned to him. The case of a voting man who was charged with murder. In what was claimed an accidental fracas, attracted a good deal of interest. He was a Mason, and that society applied to Mr. Brady to defend him, tendering twenty-five, hundred dollars as a fee; but, for some cause, ho declined the case. Not long after, tine afternoon, a neatly urcNscd, modest youivrj girl came to tne ollice and asked lor Mr. Uradv. lold to wane into his private ollice, she timidly approached his desk aud saying: "Mr. Brady, they arc going to hang mv brother, and you can save nun : 1 ve brouirht von this money, please don t let my brother die !" she burst into tears. It was a roll of $250, which the poor girl had begged in sums of five and ten dollars. The kiud-hearted man heard her story. "They shan't hang your brother, my child," said ho, and putting the roll of bills in nn envelope, told her to take it to her mother and he would ask for It when he wanted it. The boy was cleared. In Mr. Brady's parlor hansis an exquisite picture, by Durand. with a letter on the back asking him to accept it as a mark of appreciation for Ills generous kindness in de fending this poor boy. Mr. Brady prized that picture. W'c quote this passage about Disraeli's tin scrupulousness from Justin McCarthy's article entitled "English Toryism and its Leaders:" Three or four years ago. a bitter, factious attack was made in the House of Commons upon Mr. Stansfeld, then holding office lu the Liberal government, because of his opeu and avowed friendship for nnd intimacy with Maz- zinl. This was at a time when the French Gov eminent were endeavoring to connect Mafezinl with a plot to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon, Mr. Disraeli was verv stern in his condemnation of Mr. Stansfeld for his friendship with ono who, twenty oaa years uctore, imu encouraged a young enthusiast (as tho enthusiast said) iu a desum to kill thanes Albert, Knitr ot Sar dinia. Mr. Brigiit. in a moderate nud kludly speocii, deprecated tne iuea oi making pardonable crimes out of the hot-headed fol lies of enthusiastic meu in their voung days and he added that he believed there would be found in a certain poem, written bv Disraeli himself some twenty-tive or thirty vears before. and called "A Revolutionary Epick," some lines of eloquent apostrophe in praise of tyran nicide. Up sprang Mr. Disraeli, indignant and excited, and vehemently denied that any such sentiment, any such' line, could be found lu the poem. Mr. tsngnt at once accepted the as surance; said he had never seen the poem him self, but only heard that there was such a pas sago in it; apologized for tho mistake and there most people thought the matter would have ended. In truth, the volume which Disraeli had published a generation before, with the grandilo quent title, "A Revolutionary Epick" (not epic, In the common way, but diguitlcd, old- fashioned "epick ), was a piece ot youthful, bombastic folly, long out of print, and almost wholly forgotten. But Disraeli chose to attach great importance to the charge he supposed to be made against mm; and lie declared that ho felt himself bound to refute it utterly by more than a mere denial. Accordingly, In a few weeks. there came out a new edition of the Epick, with a dedication to .Lord Maniey, aud a preface explaining that, as the first edition was out of print, and as a charge founded ou a pas sage ou it had been maae against iue autuor, said author felt bound to issue this new edition. that all tho world might see how unfounded was the accusation. Sure enough, the publication did seem to dispose of the charge effectively. There was only one passage which in any way bore on tho subject of tyrannicide, and that certainly did not express approval, miat could be more satisfactory? Unluckily, however, the trentlo man on whose hint Mr. Bright spoke happened to possess ono copy of the original edition. He compared this, to make assurance doubly sure. with the copy at tho British Museum, the only other copy aecesfiblo to him, aud he found that the passage wincn contained tuo praise of tyran nicide had been partly altered, partly suppressed. in tho new edition specially Issued by Mr. Dis raeli In order to prove to the world that ho had not written a line in tho poem to imply that he sanctioned tho slaying of a tyrant. Now, this was a small and trilling attair; but just see how slrnlficaut and characteristic it was ! It surely did not make much mutter whether Mr. Dis- ren, in uis young, nonsensical days, Had or had not Indulged in a burst of enthusiasm about the slaying of tyrants, in a poem so bombastical that no rational man could think of It with anv seriousness. But Mr. Disraeli chose to regard his reputation as seriously assailed; and what did he do to vindicate Jiiuisclli' lie published a new edition, which he trumpeted as not merely authentic, but as issued for the sole purpose of proving mat ne nuu noi praised tyrannicide, and he deliberately excised the lines vi hlch contained the passage in question! The controversy turned on some two lines and a half; aud of theso Mr. Disraeli cut out all tho dangerous words and gave the garbled version to the world as his au thoritative reply to the cnarge madoairainst him. This, too, after the famous "annexation" of one of Thiers' speeches, and the delivery of it as a paueirrrlc on the memory of the Duke of Wel- limrton. aud after tho appropriation of a puiro or two cut out of an essay by Mueauluy, and its in troduction wholesale, as original, into one of Mr. Disraeli s novels. , Mr. John Esten Cooke gives the following an ecdote of George Frederick Cooke, the actor: The splendid career of Cooke ended in Sep tember. 181.2, In the old apartinentt Bixby's Hotel, in New York. His death was not caused. directly, at leust, by Intemperance; he died of serous effusion of the chest and aiuioineu. lie was conscious to the lust, died resigned to his fate, and his funeral was attended by nn Im mense concourse, embracing tne cniei persoiir iafrcs of tho cltv, He was buried in the '-Stran k?ers' Vault;" at St, Paul's; but many years aftor- W'ard.'when jvimuna ivean came i America, no k-nlled. wilh Dr. Francis, ou the Bishop of New York, to request permission for the erection of a niTrmrmient.

It was used In the scene over his own skull were uttered the words. "Alas, poor Yorlck !" which had so often escaped from the fleshless lips. What a commentary on life! What a termina tion to a great career ! , "IJiiniiiroiiW From Professor Coppec's artfele entitled "A Few Curious Derivatives," we take the follow- lug: The names of persons offer curious etymolo gies.

Himself ignorant of the deriva tion, the great lexicographer addressed the inquiry among the "Notes and Queries" of the Uentlemanii Maqazinr. ills question was .answered by an anonymous correspondent, giving etritr meehant. This Johusou adopted, simply writing after the derivation, anonvmous correspondent. Ashe, wnen lie mado his abridg ment of Johnson,- fell into the curious error of giving anonymous correspondent as a definition of curmudgeon! Not a bad Idea, except that the scurrility of anonymous letters deserves usually a harsher name, for curmudgeon really indicates now not a wicked heart, but a grum bling disposition. No part of speech offers a richer field. for its extent, than our exclamations. We pass by Zounds ! Jimmy ! My eye, Betty Martin!" and others, to tell of tho Ameri can traveller, who found, to his astonishment, Oil dear! and Dear me! In the streets of Komo, not ns imported English, but as original Italian. Ono little Roman ragazzo (a ragged one,' no doubt) kicked another, and sent him homeward on the double-quick, crying bitterly aud at the top of his voice, "Dear me! Dear me!" for so it sounded when ho said, "Dio mio! Dio inio!" good Tuscan, which seems very much llko lingua Americana in bocca Iiomana. Wo force tho conclusion upon no one, but it is plausible, at least, that our Dear mo !

The word coin may be traced to tho Arabic kanna, to hammer or boat out. We all know that money (Latin moneta) is from the verb moneo, to admonish and ruiniml a pleasant reminder only when received. A guinea was originally made in 1GM, of Guinea gold. A pistole is from tho Italian piantrnla. which, changing me i inio , oecomes the Latin plantrum, which is also the root of piastre. jmitMoon is simpiy a uouoic pisioie. i lie soldi is from folidns, and, like the Spanish ditro for dollar, simply means "hard inonev." The sovereign is the coin of a monarch -the ducat, that of a duke. A dollar was a thaler, and that was so called because ilrst coined in a silver mine in a Saxon thai or valley. A tlorin was made iu Florence a mark, at St. Mark's In Venice. Our own currency need no explanation, except perhaps that picayune is a Carib word, that a levy was eleven pence, and that a fin was a tive-petiHV Piece. Shiimlaster Is us old as our Revolutionary war, for when the Continental currency became worthless, an old soldier might, aud perhaps did, dress a wounded leg with his pay. Greenbacks are much more easily derived than picked up. To the Arabic it is wen known that we owe many common words, most of which have conic through tho Spanish, such as scarlet, chcuiiso. hrsennl, sugar, alchemy, ulcohol, alembic, alge- ira, alkali, and many others beginning with al Trench makes a pretty image from sierra, as saw-tooth-shaped, but it Is really from mh-rali, a desolate mountain tract. Lew is Oaylord Clarke gives, In his "Recollec fious of Washington Irving," the followiug an ecdotes: Mr. Irving never lost an opportunity to sub serve the literary interests of deserving younr men. One day there appeared at the cottage a voung man of twenty, a poor "Onondaga boy." Sir. F , Ho hud walked on foot from Nur York to Simuysldo expressly so see Washington Irving, who pursuauou mm to stay with him two or three days, i iiroiign great privation he had secured to himself an excellent education, vet his aspirations for further acquisitions llad grown into an honorable enthusiasm. I hap pened to bo at the COttagO a ftW davs nftnrwnnl iwhou Mr. Irvlug spoke of this vIbU of a young plan from my native county, and the great iilcasure It had afforded him. "The extent und accessibility of his general knowledge," i - - - J I Mr. afterwards mado v Lis way I nbroad, .materially aided, I have no doubt, I lY Mr. Irving, who gave him letters to his knto ne. is wuiidf mil in firm ui vnnni, - I friends in xuigianu, whence he repaired to Dun- ' lliumr w u ouiyruuiK ai-quiruiuvui, ur Ul PRILJLO, lSGO yearn, gained him great favor among tne pro- fl-HSora nnrl ntlior btnl-nerl men. He raSSCfl the summer In Ireland, where he- made hlmlf ac quainted with the language, literature, uishjit, and traditions of the Northern nations, their "agx", etc. "I cannot but contrast, said Mr. Irving, "the conduct of this poor youth, bravciy i truirgllng forward to Intellectual eminence in deflauce of poverty and privation,' with that of ine nosi oi young Americans, spcndthrnt sons of wealthy fathers, carrying their brains In their 1'uiM-is, wasting time and opportunity, aegranng Ihcmselvcs and disgracing their country amidst i in- i-nurnung ana licentious pleasures ot rans. Which of these, think you, may be considered a rem npci-imcn oi "loung America r On tills VOUnG- miin'a return frnm nhrnnrl Mr Irving secured for him tho position of Second i.iorarian in uie Asior Library, of which he was a trustee an ollice of emolument, and one greatly to his taste. Another Instance In kind: I was standing at a book-stall In Nassau street one morning, glanc ing over a rare old volume, when tho proprietor said: "I sec by the papers that you nave been up to sec Mr. Washington Irving; nnd when you saw him, you met a man out of ten thousand ono of the very best and klndost men In America. I was his servant; he found me to bo fond of rending everything I could get hold of; so one day ho proposed to me to open a street book stall in town, furnished me with some quaint and choice old works from his library, solicited additions from his friends, nnd cave me money to buv others at the diff erent night book auc tions: and now I am doing a good business besides having as much time as I want to read bctwecn-whiles.
