"The proposed Fair for the benefit of the Sanitary lommission affords a fruitful medium , for active exercise of humane and patriotic impulses, and we - trust that the branch of trade with which we are dentified will worthily embrace it. We therefore, 'urgently invite all who are in any way connected 'with the business to give it their earnest sym etpathy. Collectors will visit the various Furnish ing Establishments, of the city and we bespeak for them a liberal reception. LADIES, and even CHILDRER have afforded them in this department a favorable opportunity to -evince their interest in this noble enterprise, as their leisure moments may produce numerous ar ticles which will be appreciated and purchased by gentlemen. . Contributions in money. gentlemen's dress goods, or fancy articles for gentlemen's use, may be sent to either of the- Committee. It is desired that an invoice of each donation be addressed to the Chairman, who will acknowledge its reception. We do not deem it necessary to offer extended reasons why this appeal should be liberally re sponded to. considering that the claims of the sick and wounded of the battle-field will meet a ready response in every humane heart, and that all will be glad to avail themselves of so worthy an almo- ZlOner as the SANITARY COMMITTEE.

[mhl9.lm-rp§ LIBERALITY TO THE FAIR To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: Per mit me to call the attention of the public to an - iiteresting instance of most creditable liber ality, the merit of which is increased by the fact that the only condition imposed by the giver is that his name be kept secret. It is fully set forth in the following letter, recently read before the Committee of the Sanitary Fair : ~ P HILADELPHIA,MaTch 14,1161.— CALEB Cons, Esq.: lily Dear Sir: I enclose you two donations for the great Central Fair for the Sanitary Com mission—first a check for fifty dollars. A word or two in reference may induce others to do likewise. A portion of this sum is the result of a sale of useless articles which had been accumulating for years, and uselessly occupying room in our house, and I thought the best disposition I could make of them would be to sell them and give the proceeds to your Fair. So here it is, with az:Lamont:it added to make of it an even fifty dollars. •The second donation is the Deed for a lot of ground in the Fifteenth Ward. Yon may ask, 'What are we to do with a donation of this kind Put it in the hands of an auctioneer and sell It, and apply the proceeds through your noble Commis sion to assist the brave boys who are fighting our battles while we are enjoying the comforts of our homes and the blessings , of that Government which they are fighting to defend. The proceeds of this lot will do them more good than it will me or my children. You may desire to know something of its value, and I will say, therefore, that it cost me $6OO. in exchange for other property, and it ought to bring, at public sale. five hundred. But sell it for what it will bring, and I will make the title when the sale is effected, and that God may bless you in your noble work, and preserve our coun try, is the prayer of "A MEMBER Or THB UNION LIAGUB." It is with the greatest pleasure, Mr. Editor, that I use your journal as the medium of giving to the public this noble instance of liberality, since, if I mistake not, it was about the time this letter was dated that the suggestion was made in your- columns that all who had the interest of the Fair at heart should do as this gentleman did—examine their garrets and lumber rooms, and sell off such useless articles as they bad, for the benefit of a great cause. In connection with this subject, let me note that the Hasdel and Haydn Music Society of Philadelphia have generously volunteered their services for a musical entertainment, to take place for the benefit of the Sanitary Com mission. But indeed the examples of lavish kindness for this object, which have been brought before me, are literally beyond record. I should be pleased however if those who have it in their power to communicate any interest ing instances of generosity or sacrifice for the good cause of the Sanitary, would do so to me, that they may be recorded in the newspaper which will be issued during the Fair in this city. Yours, CHARLES GODFEY LELAND, Chairman Editorial Committee.

LINCOLN. —The Washington correspondent of the Newark Adver tiser, writes as follows: An allair of considerable interest came off at the White House. on Saturday last, in the presence of a small party of visitors, being the formal presentation of a very choice col lection of wax fruits to “Abraham and Mary Lin coln," from Mrs Caroline Johnston, a highiy re spected colored Friend, of Philadelphia, as a testi monial of her appreciation of the President's ser vices in behalf of her oppressed race. Though some remarks were made by Mrs. J., the presen tation speech was made by the Rev. James Ham ilton, a Baptist clergyman of the above city, who touchingly alluded to the past sufferings of his people, to the rapid progress of their deliverance under the present Administration, and their hOpes of the future, and asked the President to accept of the gift as a specimen of the handiwork of a lady of color and as an evidence of their confidence and esteem for the chief who had brought the far out of the land of bondage Mr. Lincoln briefly responded, returning thanks for tile / beautiful present, referring to the difficulties with which he had been surrounded, and ascribing the w drons changes of the past three years to the rulings f an all-wise Providence. The work is valued at 8350. We understand that Mrs. Lin coln intends having it repacked for shipment to her borne in Illinois.

The rebel steamer Florida, last from Madeira, arrived at Teneriffe on March '4 and sailed again on the following day. The U. S. frigate St. Louis also arrived at Teneriffe on the 6th in pursuit, but the Florida had got safely away. The St. Louis Was still at Teseriffe on March 14. A mass meeung, consisting of about 5,000 man, was held at Blackheath; near London, on the 2.5 th, in favor of the intervention of England on behalf of the Poles.

The Daily Telegraph learns that Queen Victoria is about to emerge tomev, hat from herseclusion by shortly boidingtwo State receptions at Bucking ham Palace—one of the diplomatic repreteutation and the other of the Ministers of State and other prominent officials. On the 18th the let division of the Scottish Court of Sessiffn gave judgment in the case of the Pam pero, the sus.pecteu•Confee erste steamer seize(' in the Clyde.- The Court unanimoasiy repellAd the ob j ections raised to the relevancy of i 2 of the 98 counts of the in lot mation, and the other 24 counts of the information were departed trom by the CroWn. The case will, therefore, go to trial. In the course of an elaborate judgment, tai Lord President said: The objecuou, in sub stance, is that the statute, is not directed against equipping a vessel to be used as a cruiser unless the parties equipping the vessel do so with intent by themselves, or others under their control, to cruise or commit hostilities. In my opinion the statute is not so limited. ' I think It is directed against fitting out a vessel with intent that such vessel should be employed to cruise or commit hos tilities, whether such employment be by the equip pers, or persons under their control, or by others in the service of a foreign State One result of the opposite construction would be that the statute is more carefuliy preventive of fitting out storesnips than of fitting out 'vessels to commit hostilities. There are other reasons for rejecting the reading or construction contended for by the defenders. The case will go before a jury. The trial will com mence on May 5. On the 21st a deputation waited upon the Cheva lier de Aniirada, at the Brazilian Legation, °even. dish Equafe, to present an address from the i otn mittee of the British and Foreign Aroi-Slavery Soci ety relating to the extinc.ion of tue stave-trade and Slavery in Brazil.

The Chevalier de .tl.ndrada, in reply, stated that the sentiments of the address were shared by himself in dividu Illy and also he be lieved, he might say, would be by the Emperor of Brazil, who, with his minitlers and the tending men of the country, were loalring anxiously at the question, and were most desirous of abolishing slavery; but they had to consider the most eligible means.

General Sullivan and Staff "closed up th , p" to-day, and depart for Cloaks burg, West Virginia, at which place he will have another similar command. It is uuderstood in military circles that tieneral Ord will relieve him in command of the First Division.. Colonel Geo. D. Wells, aitt Massachusetts Infantry, command • ing Second Brigade at post at Martinsburg has been ordered here wits his command, and assigned to the command of the defences of arper' s Ferry and Maryland Heights, together with the post, over which he will have the general supervision. While-the 3d Brigade, 6th Army Corps, was en camped at this post and vicinity, the construction of the Winchester Railroad was commenced, ,and it was extensively hinted tint the Union lines would be extended during the present season. A construction corps of some one hundred and fifty men were employed two or three weeks in laying the ties at dr:ills, and had the road rebuilt beyond Balltown a short distance, when the orders came for the brigade to join its old Corps (the 6th) to toe Army of the Potomac. This sudden movement on the part of the troops was a ..deadener" to the railroad 'prospects, which immediately "sub sided," and the laborers ordered to the Army of the Cumberland. During the past week the troopsin this vicinity have been moving in every direction, and for a few days this old town presented a rather doleful, lonely appearance, until the arrival of more forces from other quarters. Deserters from the rebel army come Into our lines on the usual average, and after taking the amnesty oath, are sent across the Poto mac ano into Maryland. A gentleman from Balti more has been in this place several week 4, acting as an agent to secure the employment of these de serters and refugees to work on the extensive farms that throng the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and now lying nearly idle for want of laborers. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Martins burg to Monocacy, is now guarded by the 116th and 123 d Ohio Regiments.

Kirkland, the distinguiaied writer, died Tuesday night In New York city, of apoplexy. Her father, Mr. Stansbury, was a publisher and bookseller. The family removed subsequently to Geneva, where Miss Stansbury married Professor Kirk land, of liamilton College. Since 1843 Mrs. Kirk land has lived for most part in New York, teach ing at times in the best female schools, but engaged chiefly in writing for the reviews and magazines the published in 1E39 "A New Home—Who' 11 Follow?" which was a record of her own expe riences, and written with such freshness and vi vacity as to gain her at once a high and almost world-wide reputation. In 1.R12 .she put forth "Forest Life," and in 1846 "Western Clearings," all of similar character, and under the as , umsd name of "Mrs Pdery ()lavers." In 1852 appeared "Fireside Talk in Manners and Morale; " in 1853, "A Book for the Home Circle," and in 1853, "Personal Memoirs of George Washington." Mrs. Kirkland was among the most original and vigorous of all our female authors; her sketches of Western life have never been surpassed for fidelity Of detail and liveliness of humor ;they exaggerate, perhaps, the traits of character and the incidents of the rude life of tbe border, but they are con ceived in the most kindly spirit, and only likely to give offence to those who feel themselves satir ized by her pen ; but her powers of reflection were equal to those of her observation, and her more serious essays arealways full of sound, instructive and profitable thought, which was expressed in a forcible and graceful way. Her conversation, However, was even more agreeable than her wri ting, and in society no one could be more enter taining and attractive.

Notwithstanding the feelings of mutual distras now so apparent among the nations, it is exceed ingly gratifying to see such an evidence as is here wi'h presented, of inter( at on the part of the British public in • fforts for the relief of the great suffering now prevailing among the freed negroes of our country, and their appreciation of the enormous efforts of our .Government and fellow• countrymen in meeting the heavy responsibility thus thrust upon us. The annexed Circular has been placed n our Lsi,ds by the Publication Committee of the Friends' Preedmens' Aid Association" of this city, (whose Treasurer is Richard Cadbury, No. 117 Chestnu L street), who have been elected to dis pense the funds thus 'liberally contribnied,'and who, we are• glad to add, have, with their accus- • toured promptitude,' taken measures to turn to immediate account a re mittance of 1500 sterling, received from the Liverpool Committee by the last steamer: • [CTRCITLA.II.] LIVERY 001, Feb. 27, 101.-0 wing to the war now in progress in the United States, a great amount of suffering has been entailed upon multi tudes of the negro race in that country. It has been computed that behind the "United States armies at least half a million of persons, lately held in slavery, are now tree. The state of depen. dence in which they had been- from birth has been suddenly and unexpectedly exchanged for freedom. This in itself Will, no doubt, ultimately eventuate in good; but in the mean time, o Whig to the sudden and vioieht disruption of former ties, and owing to the tact that no means could be taken beforehand to provide for their necessities, either upon their own part or upon that of others, destitution to a sad ex.. tent has accompanied freedom. Daily, hundreds of men, women anti . children augment the number alr.ady to be proNided for. The refugees are in districts of the country over which opposing armies have frequently passed and repassed, destroying everywhere the necessaries of lite. Under the most favorable circumstances the transition from slavery to freedom must be accom panied by individual cases of suffering. With. peaceful emancipation, however, the master re mains to hire with his capital the labor of the former slave. Here the master hae not only fits appeared, but with him the fruit of long-continued years of labor. Capital has been destroyed, and cannot be reintroduc=d "until peace return. In flying, the master has not nnfrequently taken the able-bodied males with him; while in other districts the United Mates authorities have incorporated them With their armies. Thus, from opposite quar ters, the mainstay of the population tine been F. L. FETRERSTON, Publisher abstracted. How could the remnant escape ex treme suffering'! -The United States Government has done probably all that a government could do under such trying circumstances. Vas t camps of refuge have been established, • where the women, children and aged receive rations--rations gene rallY sufficient to keep the recipients alive if in good health, but entirely unsuitable to those win) , most need relief. Think of delicate children, and. the aged and sick being huddled together, with scant clothes and altogether insufficient shelter, during the past unusually severe winter, and re ceiving only a portion of such fare as is allotted to able-bodied and actively employed 'soldierS! No wonder that they should sicken and die by thous ands Plainly enough there is ample room forth° exercise of private benevolence, as well as of golf ern ment aid. In all the large cities of the Union there hava been 'formed Freedmen's Relief Associations. These aim at assisting the refugees by fnrnist ing relief in cases of sickness, by supplying suitable clothing to the alinest or, indeed, altogether naked, by directing to the proper quarters those able to work, and by opening schools for the instruction of those who have been hitherto kept in enforced ignorance. By these societies much good has been clone already, and no doubt their future exertions in their labor of mercy and of love wilt be liberally rewakded with success. It will be remembered that when the Irish famine of 1846-48 swept into prematpre graves handreds of thousands of our fellovv-countrymen; d again, when all hearts in the United - Kingdom bled in contemplation of the sufferings of Sir John- Franklin and his gallant but hapless crew; and_ yet again, when a great war cut of the resources of our cotton operatives, the American people showed their sympathy in no hesitating manner. Now. in the day of their trial, when labor is dis organized, when millions. of human beings amongst them without fault of their own, are on the threshold of destitution, and tens of thousands suffering from-larnine and want and:disease, let us show our sympathy, let us rejoice in having the opportunity of showing that we are prompt to re lieve distress wherever felt, and that whatever the petty jealousies which in ordinary times may separate us, we now, at the call of humanity, feel our brotherhood. It is in this epir.t that we address you, and ask for your aid. It is proposed to open a subscrip tion list in Liverpool, with the view of co-opera ting with the Freedmen's Relief Associations of merica. It is thought that whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the aims and tendencies of the war now raging, there may be union at least in striving to alleviate the sufferings of its helpless victims. - Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the undersigned, duly acknowledged in the local newspapers. and forwarded with all possible dis patch tothe proper agencies in America.

FOREIGN GLEANINGS Rossini has received from the Emperor of the French the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. There is , a wonderful Hindoo chess-player al present in London. He plays three ganies blindfolded, and wins. At the same, time he plays a game of cards, and wins. During the game a bell is touched every one or two se conds, and he gives the number of times it has been touched. A man stands behind and throws little pebbles one by one against his back; these, too, he counts; nd after the games are told he recites a poem in perfect rhyme which he has composed during the sitting. Mr. Boucicault has finished a new Irish ` drama entitled ciThe Rapparee." The latest Paris fashion in ladies' dress is for out-of-doors, a garment cut very like a man's great coat, fitting close, and covered with brass buttons—buttons not only for use but for ornament, some of them even being stuck on the shoulders. The liberty of the Paris theatres is not com plete. The entire lot of the managers was summoned to the Prefect of Police the other day, to consider the prices of admission to the theatres and also the present manner of adver tising the prices. A French priest has refused to baptise a child with the name of Ernest, as that is the Chris tian name of Renan. The Poles in London seem to know more about what's going on than any of the news papers. An influential man among them states= that 80,000 stand of Enfield rifles are now being shipped on board of four vessels, in which from four to five thousand men will also be sent out, and that at the proper time Prince . Napoleon will be proclaimed King of Poland. They say that it has all been ccscinared" with Austria, who, in her usual loyal manner, is to leave Prussia in the lurch, and has expressed her willingness to give up Galicia for a considera tion. Some experiments have been made on the shore at Crosby,near Liverpool, with a wrought iron gun manufactured by the Mersey Steel and Iron Company for Mr. Mackay, of that town. The weight of the gun is about nine tons and the bore 8.12 inches. The gun is rifled, but the projectiles are plain cylinders and have no corresponding adaptation, although a rotation is produced sufficient to insure accu— racy, for seven shots went through the target at distances of 1,000 and 1,500 yards. The pro- - jectile weighs 100 lbs., and the charge of, pow der is 20 lbs., which gives an initial velocity of 1,508. The experiments ordered at Woolwich to test the merits of Montstorm's breech-loading rifle have proved very satisfactory, and the weapon is expected to be adopted to some ex tent in the service. This rifle is fired with the ordinary leaden bullet, without a greased wad, and, being on a simple principle, is not liable to get out of order. Baron Lenek, the inventor of gun-cotton,has visited• Paris by invitation of the Emperor Na poleon, who has conferred upon him the Cross of Commander of the Legion of Honor and presented him with a gold snuff-box set diamonds, in token of his appreciation of a ' scheme which promises to effect an. important change in artillery practice. - GENERAL ICENLY' 13 COII3IAND.
