Secretary of the Commonwealth. NEW Your. June 16.—The Japanese Embassy's reception here to day was an immense affair. They were received by the New York com mittee at Atnboy. The crowd thronging Broadway was probably from two to three hundred thousand. Cheers were given along the entire route. No unpleasant incident occurred and the Japanese appear to be delighted with their reception, and the quarters provided for them at the Metropolitan. The Hotel is illuminated to-night, with three thousand Venitian lights, covering the entire fronts on Broadway and Prince street. On being showed to their quarters they were astonished at their sumptuous appearance. The decorations include the Japanese coat of arms, and many characters embodying Japanese sayings. Is it Gambling?— Some la ger beer sellers of Ilarrisburg have in their establishments what are termed "bngatel ta bles," upon which games are played for drinks. ItstriKes us says the Telegraph, that this is a violation of the law ; and if so the keepers of these tables should be pro cecded against legally.

BgL-The Hanover Gazette is it'.-ponsible lor too follow ing singular circumstance: •' We have been informed that an occurrence took place in the villageof St. warts town, York county, which belongs to the records of the wonder ful. On Saturday, May 20, a man named Nicholas Bil lingsby, in the employ of Mr. Abel Kirkwoud, fell from the effects of a fit, fnra the stoop of the house, about 10 feet, where he laid and struggled for half an hour with spasms, when he turned as black a> a hat. By the 23d im-t., our informant states, he was up and w alking about, complain ing of nothing but a few slight bruises which ho re ceived in his fall, lie was once a white man, hut since this sudden occurrence he has changed to a negro. We hope that the unfortunate man may be restored to his natural color. The truth for tiiis can Le vouched for." KgSfTlie latest news fr .ni Sicily is to the effect that Pal ermo, the capital, was occu pied by Garibaldi. Ilis force, however, is very small, it is expected that he will main tain the position ho lias won. If he can do this, for even a little time, he may expect to he joined by large numbers of the natives. One of three things is mentioned as prob able—the transfer of Sicily to Victor Emmanuel; the con tinuance of the Sicilian union with Naples, under Prince Murat; or the deposition of the present King, and the transfer of the crown of tin? Two Sicilies to his uncle, a man uf liberal principles who is known to have remonstra ted, urgently and continuous ly) against the tyranny of the late and present King. The general hope, in Europe as well as in this country, is tiiat Garibaldi may succeed in uprooting the Bourbon dy nasty which lias so long dis graced humanity itself. Dcaili of John liinns.— This venerable citizen died at his residence, No. lIG South Sixth street, Philadelphia, on Saturday morning last. Ilis career has been a remarkable one, and in his day and gen eration lie was one of the most influential men in Penn sylvania. lie was horn on the 22 day of December, 1772, in the city of Dublin, Ireland, and, sympathising warmly with the liberal party of h s native country arid of Eng land, lie became connected with revolutionary move ments, which led to his arrest at Birmingham, on thecharge of high treason. For nearly two years he was confined in prison for his alleged politi cal offences. In 1801, soon after his release, he embark ed at Liverpool for Baltimore, where he safely arrived, and proceeded at once to North umberland, Penna., where, in 1802 he commenced the publication of The Republi can Argus, which soon ac quired an extensive circula tion, and secured for its au thor great influence with the Democratic party of that sec tion of the state. In 1807, he commenced the publica tion, in Philadelphia, of the Democratic Press, which speedily became the leading democratic paper of the state, and continued to occupy that position until 1824, when Mr. Binns earn estly opposed the election of General Jackson to the Pres idency, and supported .John Quiney Adams. In Novem ber, 1829, after the election of General Jackson, he aban doned bis editorial career. In 1834 he published an au tobiography, in which the main incidents of his life are sketched, entitled, " Recol lections of the iife of John Binns: twenty-nine years in Europe, and fifty-three in the United States." It is quite an interesting work. e learn from the Lan caster Express that on Satur day night last about twelve o'clock one of the most cold blooded and unprovoked mur ders ever committed in that city was perpetrated by a man named Avin Kcndrick, the victim being Adamßees, an inoffensive German.

JBt—fThe practice of buying goods from unknown parties, seldom results in benefit to the purchaser, and generally shows that i in the end it is best to Jeal with establish ed stores. Wc heard of a ease which re- j cently occurred up the river, and in other ' parts of the county, where some strangers ! by specious representations induced three or four persons to purchase cloths to the amount of about $l5O, giving their notes at short date for payment thereof. Since then it has been discovered that the cloth is almost worthless, and would be dear at t any price. These notes arc no doubt drawn negotiable, will be disposed of to other par ties, and leave little room for resisting their payment. MIFFLIN COUNTY BANK BILK. —This bill appears in another part of our paper to-day, and will no doubt be perused with care by most of our readers. Its general features, so far as note holders arc concern ed are good, and if the institution can or will be conducted with reference to the pub lic good, we see no reason why it should not secure public confidence. The stock holders were nearly ready to go into opera tion, but the Auditor General having de cided that the directors could not increase the capital after the functions of the com missioners ceased, it has been determined we believe to increase it to $200,000 at once. The lands thus far appraised are re garded as ample security, the only fault be ing found with the mill property, (apprais ed at $50,000,) but as the farm is included in this estimate, and an insurance requi red equal to the appraisement, it is perhaps not much above the mark. POISONOUS CANDY.—A little girl in our neighborhood was taken dangerously ill night before last from eating candy which contained peach kernels instead of almonds.
