Mm Ann Partridge, aged over 80 years,
and a resident of Union, Erie county, Penn.,
has presented to Allegheny . College, Mead

letter of John Wesley, the founder of Method-.
ism, received by her from her aunt, Miss
Padbuiy, to whom it was written under the
following circumstances : The followers of
Wesley were making efforts to build them
selves a chapel, and the parish minister with
the help of a mob would tear down by night
what they erected in day time. This lady

wrote to Mr. Wesley askinu l' his advice in the
matter, and the following is his reply :

SUICIDE OF A 3IEMIIEIt OF THE NEW JERSEY
LEGISIATURE.—A strange and melancholy suicide
has occurred in Bergen county. Abram Van
Emberg, a farmer, and a member of Assembly
from the Second District of Bergen county, com
mitted suicide in Hohokus, at noon yesterday.
He went to work on his farm in the morning as
usual, and at noon he was discovered suspended
by the neck; dead, in his granary. During the
late war he served in the capacity of captain and
.eolouel, and had a "good war record. No cause
has been assigned f r his untimely death. Mr.
Van Emberg was a Democrat, and was one of the
least ostentatious and most respected members of
the House. He rarely spoke, but always to the
.point.—A'etrarl; Adyertiser OM).

will have reproached tne for not having sooner

that the ink et does not arise from rant of

There seems no end to such a task when once
entered on; and its variety is as bewildering as
its extent is overpowering, for there is no nation
in the world width can boast, of such univer
sality as France in the creations of Art and In
dustry • and the productions of Nature. Her
capabilities in this respect, indeed, and her self
sufficing qualities, have ' been made one
of the great arguments of the Pro
tectionists and M. Tigers. amongst
others, has 'often asked the question why
France should admit the merchandise of other .
countries, when her own Is so capable of supply
ing all the wants of her population. And when

either for the useful or ornamental accessions of
existence. The Great Napoleon laid his finger
upon the weakest point, perhaps, when he strove
to endow Lie empire with an indigenous supply
of sugar, as forming one of the neces
saries of life. lie was much laughed at
at the time, by his British detractors, Out the
design, nevertheless, sprung from the intuitive
force of genius, and the beet-root manufacture
threatened even at one time wholly to supercede
the colonial production. There is scarcely another
article to be mentioned in the necessary economy
of humanity which France cannot, at a pinch.
'either do without or produce by an effort in sufli
dent quantities to supply her absolute need.
And all this is spread out before our eyes over
' the acres which she covers With the riches of her
soil and the skill of her handicraft in the 'Champ
de Mars. Is it wbuderful, then. that one regards
as vain the attempt to eonvey any adequate idea
of the contents of such a conglomeratior&-''
There_evists,_however, _in . France, -as in
aIL
other nationalities, a predominant element which
Maims our attention more powerfully than the
rest. As in England and the tnited States, the
Useful prevails over the ornamental, so in France
it is the latter which has received the largest de
velopment from the national genius. Thus. in
the French section-we find ever the largest
crowds collected in the galleries of the Third and
Fourth Groups. where furnittue and house deco
ration.of every kind, porcelain and pLateArOnzes
and jewelry, silks and laces spread their attrac ,
tions before our astonished eyes. And what a
.sight it is to walk down one of these avenues.
and see on every side the mamtificent Halls of
Sevres and Baccarat and Ist. Louis and the
Gobelins, filled with the porcelains. the glasses
and tapestries of their unequalled and now tra
ditiOnal establishments! To mention, by way of
offset and detail, only just one object from the
class:works of Baccarat to Which my attention
was specially drawn the other day. I was shown
two.glass vases, of amethyst color and Etruscan
form, covered with white engravings of me
dallions and classical subjects. The price was
i5,0e0 francs, and the execution of the engra
ings hed.ocenpied the artist incessantly for more
than a year. The depth of some- of the cuttings
was more than half an inch, and nothing could
exceed the beauty. of some of the heads depicted
in the medallions. The drawing and anatomy
of the groups which formed the classical subjects
acre of the most artistic description. and such as
only the most skilled and cultivated hand and eye
could design and execute. When the difficulty
of the material to work upon is taken into con
sideration, such a production as the above must
be allowed to stand unrivalled, as I have certainly
seen it equalled in the section of uo other nation.
There is a celebrated glass jug shown by Dobson,
in the English department, for which the enor
mous 'price of one hundred and fifty guineas is
asked, and the engraving of which is uudoubt
eilly extremely fine and minute. But such an
article, whether as :regards design or execution,
sinks into insignificance by the side of the mag
nificent production of Baccarat, above spoken
'of; and I might go outer mention hundreds.-aye,
and thousands of similar specimens of superi
ority in those two galleries only of. the French
- section. .

Preparations are making for celebrating the
Fourth of July in appropriate style by a day fife
in the gardens of the Pri-Catalan, in the Bois de

children are to be admitted free, and will add, no
doubt, largely to the gayety and beauty of the
scene. Our only anxiety is on account of the
weather, which is boisterous and uncertain.

The Vieeroy of EgyptitniLondon,
The Timm denounces with severity - the decision
of the Government that the Viceroy of Egypt
will be the "guest of the State," and that "rooms
will be provided for him during his stay in Lon
don at Claridge's Hotel." It says "there arc
limits eveh to the apathy and negligence of the
British public in matters of international cour
tesy. It is enough that we have let the Russian
Emperor conic within a few hours 'journey of
our shores without asking him to cross the
channel. although the heir to the British
crown was receivedby him with magnificent hos
pitality,-. We have to ask of the Government that ,
second breach of good manners shall not be
perperated in
. the. ease of---the-Egyptian ruler;
For the present. at leak, the nation must consider
she Government as its representative in such mat
ters as well, as in weightier concerns of adminis
ti atins anirdlploniacy. Of Lord Derby and his
collengnes
,would, therefore, ask that they
should make such arrantiements as will insure to
inis Eastern Prince, to whom *e . are . joined by so
many bonds of policy and friendship, a reception
which shall not mortify him nor disgrace.our
selves. The nation
,will regret and resent any
failure in courtesy to its visitor as ,if it were a

VIRGINIA.
Andres* of Gov.. Peirpoint.
Rii_ii3mo; Va., July ti.—The following are the
main pointslp the first portion of the address of
Gov. l'eirpoilit to the people of Virginia, which
will be published to-morrow in one of the Rich
mond papers.• The Governor says : " I united in
the call for the Convention which is to assemble
itc Richmond on the first of August next. The
object of that Convention is to agree upon a ba
sis of action which shall be acceptable to all the
people of
_Virginia; without distinction of color
or race,. who wee the Government of the United
States. and are willing to rally under the protect
ing folds of the old flag; to adopt a Constitu
tiont) tor the State that shall guarantee equal
,righ and equal privileges, legal political, to
all h r people, rich and , poor,white and colored,
who wiR adopt- - the—speritof—=ours.—free
institutions: make labor honorable, and
recognize education as a right - to
thin that comes into the' world,•who can be
made to receive it; and to lay, again, deco- in the
foundations of the old Commonwealth, the eter
nal principles of freedom and enlightened pro
gress. as taught by our fathers. Painful expe
rience hastanght ins that there are men in the
State Who . hate the government of the United
State rho regard loyalty to it as a reproach., and
-whin would place the heel of proscription on the
_neck of every Union man, and politically and so
cially ostracise him if they could. Many of these
men. or all of them, claim to be loyal to the gov
ernment: but how can they be loyal while they
eal: to proscribe every man who professed loy
alty derifig, the struggle through which we have
just passed? I have been assured that the masses
i.f the white people of the State do not share in
their sentiments. From my personal intercourse I
in ,a tisthd that there are many leading men who
were - ardently engaged in the late rebellion who
.to not share the feelings to which I refer: few if
any of the colored people do. It is an effort ou
:he I.art of certain political leaders to inflame
supposed prejudices of the people, that they, may
retain political...pout rol of the State, and continue
a policy.of agitation and hatred: that the spirit
of enterprise and progress may be banished from
the State forever: for when progress and edam
:loll come. the occupation of those leaders wilt
cc gone. Republican was the name of the party
of :.re:rersou . and - Madison. It passed away: it
was revived, and is now the name of the great
dominant party in the United States, pledged to
canal political and legal rights of all the people:
pledged to see that these rights shall ac given to
uvery man in the nation: pledged to the support
of the Government—to the education of the
masses—to liberal progress in internal improve
ments—to build up our country in all that is
great and good, and, that tends to the liberty
and happiness. of the people. The men acting
in this great organization are from all the
aid party organizations of the country, and may
ire let rued it het p«rty, awake to all the great in
:Crests of the day. There is great opposition to
this party by a large body of men North and
south: tattle is opposition for the sake of oppo
sition. The object of the call alluded to is to
give to all such an opportunity to coinbine in one
great prey, without distinction of race or color,
and unite in placin the old Commonwealth on a
living basis, extending the hand of charity uud
good fellowship to all, that 'both white and
colored may have an . oppOrtfinity to select the
hest men for members of the Convention, and for
future officers of the State: that our Government
may be stable. administering , impartial justice to
the rich and humble alike. - , I say it to the credit
of the colored meta, that I haVe never met one
who tins expressed any lather' desire than for
honest and capable men in (Alice, be they white
or black. They want justiCe, liberty and peace,
that they may enjoy the fruits of their labor, lay
a foundationl'or their future fortunes, get homes
of their own, that they may educate and rear
their children to honest industry. " and qualify
them, for future usefulness., the effort to
:dray one race against the other in the State, and
fully appreciating the fatal result of such a state
of things to the prosperity . and welfare of the
Commonwealth, and believing that there was
danger that a majority of the white people were
about to place themselves in a false position to
theix country, I shOuld have been false to myself
and to my State had I not joined in the call to
enable the, people to vindicate - themselves ,and

* * One of Virginia's most gifted and
honored sous has declared, since the war, that
"it was universal suffrage brought on the war."
I am aware that these ideas and notions did not
influence the masses in Virginia who entered and
were dragged into the late war, and that, had
the Confederacy succeeded, and the effort made
to deprive them of these civil and political rights,
every leader's head would have been lu danger of
the block,or his body of the scaffold. The spirit of
liberty still rules in the minds of the masses. "The
lost cause" made Its tens of thousands of widows
and orphans; it laid wash our fields and brought
penury and starvation to our honks; It sought
to deprive us.of the rich inheritance of freedom
purchased by our fathers; it struck at the life
and liberty of the nation. Man proposes; God
disposes. Man proposed to erect a fabric of
government whose corner-stone shciuld he Human

madetreemen of millions of slaves. The cause

Last Words of the Condemned.
Is;mt• Oci.Earis,Jtily 9.—The Times this evening
publishes . iin extra containing a ranchero letter
fain Son LuisPotott, stating that at dm o'clock
the morning of the 19th the troops of Ertel)-
,ta do formed a short distance from thc'oity for
"the execution ol Maximilian and his G'enerals,
the r. , eople of Queretart9flocking by thousands to
see the closing seines irrtbe life of the met' they
loved. As the duck strikes seven, the be& toll'
and announce that , the prisoners have left their
prisons for the moat , time, and are on their way
to their execution. Afton a few moments they
appeal, drawn in carriages' and a large guard'
around them, the Eutrperoritrat, Miramon next ;
and Melia last. , An they year the place of ,
execution, convulsive throbs break from the
crowd.. The carriages • stop, and the prisonera
get out. Among the conclave you can hardly
see a. dry eye. Tokens- of dissatisfaction are
manifested. Maximilian; on alighting, is Saluted.
by the people. In an easratrd , graceful manlier,
and with an elastic step, he marched to the fatal
spot. The prisoners were , dressed in a plain
manner: - They were not hound nor blindfolded.
In taking. his position the Emperor spoke in a
and , firm manner, and , , with nothing of
bravado. He seemed to feel , his. situation, and
said wheudie was first waited upon at home by
the deputation from Mexico, who came with ere
tientlals offering him the Government, of the
country, he refused. At a subsequent meeting,
the propositkm was again presented, anti he re
plied that if convinced that the majacity thought
that it was to their interest to place him at the
head of the Government, he might consent.
Another deputation waited on him and brought
additional testimonials. Upon alliviec from the
powers of Europe, who advised him that Mere
was no other course to pursue, he accepted the
coll. Ile denied that the . court that triad him had
-the-iight.to do SCY. HIS was a case of good faith.
The notions of the world had pledged their faith
to him. Ile never would have done the act had
it not been for the good of Mexico. In conclu
sion, he hoped his blood would stop the effusion
of blood in the country.
Miramon spoke from a paper. The only re
gret he felt in dying was that, should the Liberal
