The Imperial papers report that the deci sion of Maximilian was received through out the country by bell-ringing, fireworks and illuminations; but the Eatafette, Mar shal Bazaine’s official organ, says all this was done by the clergy and officials of the Imperial Government; that the people are disgusted, mid will never submit to his re turn .to Mexico as the head of the Govern ment, and consequently the French party is desirons that Maximilian should leave first, leaving the reins of Government in Bazaine’s hands. It says : “The French 'bayonets brought him there, and have supported him thus far, and therefore to them belongs to guard the throne he vacates.” Mazatlan has been occupied by Corona and his Liberals.

The New Ledger Building.— Notwith. standing thl severe weather, the work on the new Ledger building, southwest corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets, is goiag rap idly forward. Ah has already been stated, A. T. Stewart, Esq., the dry goods Prince of New York, will occupy a large portion of the structure on Chestnut street, his quar ters being directly opposite the New Bul letin Building. This morning Mr. Stewart, accompanied by his private Secre tary, Judge Hilton, and by George W. Childs, Esq., the owner of the property, paid a visit to the new building. Mr. S. expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the property and the location; He ex pects to take possession of it in about a month. Rather Mixed. —A Portland, Me. correspondent tells the following ludic rous tale: A little incident occurred in a family circle up town the other evening that is too good to keep, and shall be confided to the readers of this Sun. The kitchen of the excellent family of which I speak is presided over by a good-look ing domestic whom we will call Mary Ann, she rejoicing in the attentive devo tions of a young servant, employed by a neighboring family, named John. Now, such were John’s relation’s with the fair Mary. Ann—they were “engaged” just like anybody’s folks—that he was in -the habit_of_entering, his inamorata’s domains without the formality of knocking. And be it known that the lord of the mansion had been absent .several days, and was expected home in the evening train. On that evening the mistress of the house sat in her boudoir panting with the expec tation of the coming of her husband. Shortly she heard—or thought .she did —his familiar footsteps at the side door (his usual place of entry), and dashing down the stairs in the darkness she precipitated herself into his arms. There was an earnest embrace. Aloving, lingering kiss was imprinted upon the lips of the representative of the sterner sex. He answereed not, butpre3sed her closer to his heaving bosom. How long this would have gone on is not for us to say, bad not an adjoining door been thrown open by the pretty Mary Ann with a light in her hand, and what a sight was revealed to all three! Mary saw her handsome mistress in the arms of her own lusty lover John; the mistress saw, not her expected spouse, but Mary Ann’s young man; and John—well he was so dumbfounded (supposing he was hugging Mary Ann all the time) that he couldn’t see anything. In the midst of the muddle the husband entered and the tableau vivant was complete! He soon comprehended, however, and had too much good sense to scold his wife for her “carelessness,” or to keep so good a joke to himself, but he never imagined that it would get into the papers. About Furs.— The latter part of the month of November generally findsfurs greatly in fashion. But the mildness of this winter, until a few days past, has not allowed the fashionables to bring out their most costly fur equipments. The last few days, however, have made such a pressing demand upon the sable and mink departments'that they are met every day now,warming and adorn ing the ladies. -In-all Northern coun tries furs_ and,. Bkins form a very im portant branch of trade, and notwith standing the quantities brought into market annually,, the; demand equals the , supply. Russia and the United States and British America are probably the largest fur producing" countries in the world, and several million of dollars change hands annually in this business alone. In semi-civilized or Uncivilized communities furs afid skins form the entire dress of the people who are dis tinguished in rank by the quantity, quality, and color of such articles worn by them. Educated and civilized com munities are constantly gravitating toward this custom of savage nations, and by expensive and fare articles of ap parel the wealthy are proclaiming their position in society, to the discomfiture of many of- their less fortunate neigh bors. The comparative cheapness with which even the poorer classes may supply themselves with a set of warm furs in this city and in various other parts of the country—ranging from $5 to §260 and upwards—compels the wealth ier classes to pay larger sums tb enable ‘ them to distance competitors not blessed with so much gold. While furs consti tute an essential part of dress in the colder countries of Russia, Siberia,North America, &c., the more beautiful and coßtly take rank as articles of luxury and fashion in the milder climates of Turkey, China, England and the United States. The general use of furs in this country has materially increased the prices of superior kinds, so that much of that material is imported from European countries.

Cochran o,ooo$ r >0,000 in Pennsylvania and Bead ing stocks and $5,00,0 in Schuylkill Navi gation Loan. A large portion of the stolen property is notin negotiable form, and there is little doubt- bnt that the skill of the detective force will secure the arrest of the audacious burglars and the recqvery of the greater portion of their inconvenient plun- ; der. The burglars helped themselves plenti fully from the fine wines and cigars of the Messrs. Cochran, and from the quantity of liquor apparently consumed the police may be able to form some idea of -the number of hands engaged in this daring and successful robbery.
