A cursory view of the in lerior of 'this building Is strongly suggestive of the improvement and proficiency acquired in the making of piano-fortes of American skill. The basement contains the engine which moves all the vast machinery thrpugh the building: the sawing and planing apparatus; and the drying-room. where the wood material is placed in a heated at mosphere °Ube degrees. This is a necessary and important pfcreess, as it gives to a piano dura bility, and Insures it from shrinking and splitting. On the first floor is the office; there, also, the piano comes to be attuned, -.or regulated, and -have the finger-boards adjusted. Previous to this, it has been in the finishing and flv-finishing room,- on the second. floor, where the different parts are arranged, and the whole given a piano-like form. It requires care and patience to prepare the sounding-board over and near to which the strings are stretched, which is done on the third floor; for, although it ~ is only a thin, delicate piece of; spruce, yet liPell it greatly depends the 'harmony of the instru ment. The covers and key-boards are also con structed here. In the fourth story are the case- !makers, who compess and dove-full the different I layers of wood int ne piece.

The Singular Visit of Eugenie to Os. borne—The Emperor Napoleon Ex pected In London—Curious Extracts from a Curious floolt. LoNnoN, July 27th, lB67.—The brief visit of the Empress of the French to Osborne is the current topic of conversation and the riddle of the hour. Everybody declares that it means something. but nobody can conjecture what it means. As „you have already been informed, the Empress arrived at Osborne on Monday afternoon and left on Wednesday. On her return the Imperial yacht stopped at Brest and then started for Cherbourg and Havre, but was compelled to put back to Brest by heavy weather. Now, as her Majesty is known to be a bad Bailor, what motive conic! she have to cross the channel only to see the Queen for a few hours ? This is the question which agi tates the quidnuncs. Whatever her Majesty's mission was the chances seem to be that she has succeeded in it: for although her visit to the Queen was strictly private. yet I have the best authority for stating that the Queen and the Empress were constantly together.. They walked, drove and lunched in Company, and even had their photographs taken en troupe. Another straw is the fact that the Em peror is expected by the royal household to ar rive in London within a fortnight. This looks as if the Emperor was coming to complete some arrangement which the Empress had proposed: but no one can guess what that arrangement is. During the visit the Queen presented the Em press with an advance 'copy of a work called The Early Years of the Prince Gonsort." This book has been prepared by the Queen's order, and under her superintendence. It contains extracts from her Majesty's private journal, describing her proposal of marriage to the Prince, and her regard for him, and also private letters from the Queen, the Prince Consort and other royal per- i sonages. It will be formally published here to day. The EngliSh.translations from ,;the German were made by the Princess Louisa. One passage. however, is worth noticing,. be cause it is generally considered as a hint to the Prince of Wales. After reciting the care which Prince Albert took to guard against scandal: his refusal to ride. drive or walk without the com pany of an equerry: his paying no visits in gene ral society; his asOidante of the gayeties of the fashionable world: his resolve not to be a regular attendant at the race course, and not to imitate "the free lives. and even. it must be said, the vices, of former generations of the royal family," the passage concludes thus:.—"Above all, he has set an example for his children, from which they may be sure they never can deviate without fall ing in public estimation and run the risk of un doing the work which he has been so instrumen tal In accomplishing." This admonitory tone is perhaps justified ; hut, nevertheless, the Prince's friends resent the _ rebuke, and it might better have been omitted. 7— ilc , e York The Raft Nonpareil—Arrival of Ameri can Cralft.nxen in England. (Southampton (July 24) correooudence of London Star.] The American liferaft Nonpareil, forty-three (lays from New York, arrived here between five and six o'clock this evening, and la moored off the dock shore. This daring adventure has been conducted by John Mikes captain, and a crew cif two, named George killer and Jerry liallene. She is only-twenty-four feet long and. twelve and a half feet broad. The raft, %Lich has two masts, consists of three cylinders, pointed at each end, united together by can,Yas connections, having no real de ek, and is strengthened by boards slipped under strong iron neck-pieees,the whole kept to gether by lashing. A waterproof cloth, hung over a boom, closed at each end, somewhat re sembling a gipsv tent, affords sleeping accommo dation. two at a _time, and the third keeping watch. This is fixed on a strong locker, in which the provisions are kept: The raft lay-to seven times from stress of weather; and the last vessel spoken was the John Chapman, a week since, from which they were given a towl,which is still alive and well. They have arrived with thirty gallons of,water to spare. The captain was poorly two days during the passage.otherwise all have been in perfect nealth, and the men are in good spirits, their counte nances looking healthy and bronzed by the weather. • They had no chronometer on board, and sailed by dead reckbning, and corrected their position by vessels they spoke. There is• a smaller raft on deck for use as a boat. The raft has kept perfectly water-tight all the way, not a leak of any. sort having occurred. She is fitt4d with an apparatus for filling the tribes with air. On the arrival . of the raft Mr. J.

The Agitation in the Pontifical States —Movements of Garibaldi and Maz alozence (Jtay 2111;orreapandence of La Liberti.; dia my bast communication I left Garibaldi in the Appenhies, 'meditating over the tomb of that Ferrucci, who, at the head of 1,500 men, thought inmselt strong enough to dispute Florence with the army of Charles V. Since that day the General Las disappeared. This news has had the result of bringing out ten regiments, which the Roman Goverment is sending to watch the Roman frontier. We have also news of the ap pearance of several bands of volunteers ou the Neapolitan and Tuscan borders. Expectation is on the tiptoe, for Garibaldi declared solemnly a few clays ago that "the Roman insurrection should 'take place, and that he, his sons. and his friends*ould all combat for that holy cause." It is affirmed that the General has reached incognito a point on the shore near Via Reggio, from which place a steamer is to transport him with a few hundred men to the Pontifical coast. • [Florence Correspondence of La Presse.l We receive positive intelligeime that the great agitator has reached the Italian territory. Ile is acting in concert with Garibaldi tk,nd the National Boman junta, which has replaced the two former committees. Garibaldi has taken up his quarters in the environs of Pisa, where he has nominated the commanders and officers of every grade of the insurgent bands who are to invade the Pon tiscal State. Everything lea,ds to att anticipa tion that the attack will be Made on the side of Naples. The news received announces that the Italian Government Ims greatly reinforced the troops cantoned in the Papal frontier. We are enabled to add that this force now amounts to 10,000 men. The plan of Garibaldi consists in an insurrection at Rome, coinciding. with an inva sion of the Pontifical State. The Insurgents have received for their watchword the proclamation of the Republic. The Mystery of Garibaldi's Illovements Cleared Up. The Courier Fratt r ais of July 25, says: "We are in a position to formally contradict the I umur, circulated by auroral papeie, respecting the departure of Mazzini from London for Italy. It le true that Mazzinl may freely enter the'King dom of Italy now, but we can state that at pre sent he has not contemplated leaving London. We may add that he will pay his visit to Lugano in the mouth of August or September, as ho usually does every year. The plan of Garibaldi is known to everybody: 'Rome for the Italians; but he has not at present any intention of pros claiming the Republic in the internal movement in Rome which cannot long be delayed. Oat in • formation is thoroughly accurate. Tho Lamle, which announced"that Garibaldi had mysteriously disappeared from Italy, after beinglast seen on the Appenines, now says: "A, PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1867. ; letter from Culoz litotes that Garibaldi, accompa nied by his daughter, passed on Saturday at Cu ! loz and Amberien r in Bogey, on his way to Paris hi express train, Such is the explanation of the inexplicable. and •unexpeeted disappearance" of Garibaldi, which has recently caused so mueM m i x citc cnt n Italy.

Roumanian authorities attempted to charge upon the Turks the murder of the Jews at Galatz, but the other side of the story appears In the official protest of the foreign Consuls : "Eight or tem Jews were expelled the country on last Saturday by order of the local authorities. The police put them on board a small boat, and carried them to the Turkish side of the river. _Among these poor people was an old man, so in firm that two persons had to help him into the boat. Instead of taking them to the Turkish station of Satoka, they were conveyed by the ' soldiers in charge to an uninhabited island oppo site Galatz. which was inundated with water, and landed in the marshes, as was done on previous occasions. The Turkish soldiers picked them up on Saturday, and brought'• them back to Galatz, intending to leave them at the station of the port captain. Instead of receiving the outcasts, who were now exhausted from fatigue, and who we are assured arc Moida-Wallachian subjects, they were pushed back into the water with. the butt-ends of muskets, and with bayonets. Two Jews, namely, the old man and a younger per-. son,attempted to return to-the Turkish vessel, but they were carried away by the current and drowne . d. The Rouman guard made no effort to save them although they sank near the bank, while the Turkish vessel made off rapidly.

The Washington correspondence of the New Tork.Herold has the following interesting infor mation in relation to the attempted removal of Secretary Stanton: The Secretary of War has refused the Presi dent's polite invitation to retire from office. The President's note is very brief, only four lines in length, and simply states that "grave public con siderations constrain him (the President) to re quest Mr. Stanton's resignation." Mr. Stanton's answer is also very brief, and intended to be severe and cutting. The Secretary acknowledges the receipt of the President's note requesting his resignation, and answers that "grave public con siderations constrain him to continue in the posi tion of Secretary of War until the next meeting of Congress." At the Cabinet meeting to-day Secretary Stan ton was not present. The subject was discussed at much length, and the session was quite pro tracted. It is not decided what step Mr. John son will next take, but I think he will notify Mr. . Stanton that he is no longer Secretary of War, and must vacate forthwith. After the adjourn ment of the Cabinet meeting the President was closeted with his .. secretaries. Colonel W. G. Moore and Colonel Robert Morrow, until ten o'clock to-night. It is • supposed that this unusually late conference with his secretaries had reference to the Stanton imbroglio. The subject of Mr. Stanton's removal has been the absorbing topic of conversation to-day in every circle, and there has been much speculta tion to learn what will next transpire. In fact few events that have occurred in the affairs of government within the past year, have created so profound a sensation here as this impending renloval of the Secretary of. War. For some un accountable reason the prospect of Mr. Stanton's early retirement to the shades of private life, seems to have awakened an interest among all classes of Washington society, from the heads of departments, who have long been expecting a crisis in the relations between the President and the Secretary of War,"to the humblest civilians, who appepr as much astonished at the announce ment as if they had believed that the War Minis ter was in office for the period of his natural life. Among prominent officials, I may add, it seems to be the general opinion that the President has power to remove Mr. Stanton under the provi sion of the first section of the Tenure of Office bill, to which I alluded in my despatehesyesterday. Mr. Stanton kept himself almost completely shut up in his private office to-day. By. express orders no visitors except special favorites were granted an audience. All applicants for an in ter view were presented to General Pelouse, a Chesterfieldian style of official, who expressed the Secretary's instructions in the mildest and"' politest manner. General Pelouse asked each applicant the nature of his business, but - Mt ex cept in very few cases were unable to give any satisfactory answer, and the applicants were bowed out as politely as they were bowed in, buf without much fruit from their labor. Many of the visitors, indeed, at the War Department and White House were newspaper men in search of information, which of course could not be af forded by subordinates. It is said that Secretary Seward is not alto gether in favor of the President's action in this matter, and that he and Thurlow Weed are about to strive to save Stanton's head again. A year ago, when there was serious thought of remov ing Stanton, Weed's and Raymond's influence, coupled Eith Seward's entreaties, induced the President ,o abandon the-ideas-- Seward-at—that tiniwargued that Stanton had been a very - badly abutted Mtn, ands-tbat, though he might - hilVe committed small offences, still, in view of his great services,'Such trifles should be overlooked. It 1s now said by the friends of the President that Stanton's offentes are not mere trifles, but amount' to a deliberate system of thwarting the President, obstructing bis policy in-every way, and insulting him repeatediy to his official intercourse. The President, it is claimed, determined to tole rate this no longer,, and' has put his foot down firmly A Visit to Springfield and the Tomb of Lincoln. "Major Wisp" writes to the New York Evening Post, from Springfield, 111., as follows: Two years ago the place inherited a sad an. peculiar glory, in becoming the burial place of. Abraham Lincoln; and ever since his tomb has been the resort of thousands of his countrymen and countrywomen. No stranger thinks of pass ing through Springfield without visiting the sepulchre, and many come to Springfield for that express purpose. Oak Ridge Cemetery, where the honored re mains repose, is :matte a mile from the State house. Horse cars convey visitors thither every half hour, the route following a leading street till the latter turns into a country road, and then fades into an undeveloped, u'ngraded avenue.; s at this point the ,railroad deftly switches aside; passing'through a grove of shady oaks into " the public park. Just beyond this is the cemetery —an umbrageous, undulating tract, which already contains a number of graves. The Lin coln tomb is in a prominent position , on the brow of a rounded knoll. It is a vault with a simple front of plain brick, faced with unpolished white marble, the wings at each side bearing empty marble vases—the only feature of adorn ment that this unpretending mortuary structure possesses. The dorMway consists of two large slabs of marble cemented together and to the wall of the sepulchre; and the only inscription Is the one word, The grow; is growing luxuriantly over the roof of the vault, and a young oak tree has found place to take root amid this grass, while larger trees shade the split in the rear. In its quiet, old-fashioned simplicity the tomb of Lincoln reminds one strongly of that of Wash ington at Mount Vernon, and. there seems to be a beautiful (though probably an accidental) con sistency in the fact that the two Presidents who most thoroughly won the affections of the people and secured the most prominent pages of history, should be similarly, entombed. The tomb on the prairie and the tomb by the Poto num ! What a vast procession of human beings will for ages to come pause before their unpre tending portals ! At the foot of the Lincoln tomb there is a no tice announcing ".$5 tine to write upon or deface this tomb or to pluck wild flowers in these grounds." Yet, regardless of this well-meaning, if ungrammatical, injunction, and in defiance of all rules of decency, divers shabby wretches have already scrawled their names upon the brick work, and even upon the marble door of the tomb. The miserable egotists hail chiefly from the West, though Philadelphia is ,disgraced by one of them. Were there any from New York, their names would appear here in fu11.., At first Mr. Lincoln 't3 remains were"-placed in a receiving vault, where - the coffin, visible through the iron grating, was always covered - with fra grant flowers. For a year this place of inter ment was under charge of a military guard, which Willa dispensed with after,the removal of the body to its present resting-place. A plot of ground eight acres in extent has been secured in the immediate vicinity of the tomb as a site for a suitable Lincoln mbument, but many years may pass before it is built. The Lincoln house; next to the tomb, is the ob ject of greatest interest to strangers. It is still owned by the Lincolne, and. Is occupied by Mr. Tilton,.who, With his family, preserVes with rev-. ercnt care the homestead of the fallen chieftain, and kindly permits visitors to examine the . inte rior. When the trouble and 'the inevitable annoyance of, thus receiving any one who may choose to call, are considered, `the' cordiality of the permission yen renders= the • public' a real debtor to the 17 !rte. °lithe day_of the funeral' in 'Springfiels 'tin" less than !Moen 'hundied persons an hour posed through the house,; and visits are now of Ihdly,occurrenee., „.' Al the sale Of: Mr. 'Lincoln's furniture, 'the TUT . tons purchased,seyeral important pieces; among them his book-essevid writing-desk, whereon is now a book forviiktors to register their names.. The paper on the wOle is the same as when Mr.. IMMEIM Lincoln lived there, but the furniture is, of course, different: Among the many interesting souvenirs of the late President is a preserved wreath and shield of flowers, laid upon his coffin by the ladies of York, Pennsylvania, and a fac simile of the Emancipation Proclamation. Some time ago Laura Keene, the actress who, it will be remembered, ran to the President's box immediately after Booth's fatal shot, and supported Lincoln's head, came to Springfield, and visited the homestead. She brought with her the very dress she wore on that eventful night, with the stains of the President's blood •upon it, and cutting out a piece, presented it to Mrs. Tilton. There it is now in the Lincoln • House, in its little glass frame, with Laura Keene 's autograph beneath it, and the words, "The blood of the martyred President" above—a fragment of light flowered barege, discolored by the fearful stain of murder. Vividly indeed do such sad relies—though really unimportant they may be—vividly do they recall the incidents of the never-to-be-forgotten tragedy of that Good Fridley night of 1865. The widow of President Lincoln has never visited the old home in Springfield She said she could never sunimon up nerve to do so. A year or so ago she came to the town, and quite alone, went to the St. Nicholas, then the leading hotel of the place. Dressed in black and hidden by a long, thick mourning veil, she was not at first re cognized; but on disclosing her name, received all the attentions due her former position and her misfortunes. Mrs. Lincoln took up her residence for a while in Chicago, brit does not seem disposed to remain there permanently, as she has sold out her fur niture, and is staying for the summer at a hotel in Racine, Wisconsin. Mr. Robert Lincoln is practising law in Chicago; and thus none of the Lincoln family remain in Springfield; a town which will henceforth owe its chief celebrity to the fact that it was the home of the head of that FROM NEW 1:011K. NEW YORE, Aug. 7.—An investigation of the cause of the death of Patrick Devlin, who was beaten by a man named Michael Kernan, in a liquor store in Eleventh avenue, two weeks ago Nonday,'and died last Thursday at Bellevue Hos pital, took place yesterday before Coroner Wildey. It was in evidence that Devlin, in a state of intoxication, fell and cut his forehead after he received the beating; and medical testi mony was adduced, to show that that wound caused the tetanus which resulted in his death. The jury rendered a verdict exculpating Kernan. The argument on the injunction against Bar ney Williams and Florence, restraining them from playing the comedy of Caste, will come on before Judge Barnard in the Supreme Court Chambers, to-day.

Robert Mack was arraigned—beforec-Justior Dowling yesterday, charged with petty swindling. It Is alleged 'that the accused caused advertise ments to be inserted in the daily papers setting forth that the advertiser could furnish situations - of every description to those desiring employ ment.

McCown, Esq., on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock A. M., May 2G, 1867, at the residence of the former husband of the . bride. Mrs. Mary Ann Stratton, aged thirty nine years, to Mr. Joseph Hood, aged nineteen years." We have scarcely ever attended a more plea sant wedding party than the one above men tioned. The bride looked blooming and happy, the bridegroom seemed delighted with the whole atlair, and they exhibited for each , tiler that :peculiar tenderness and ~•affeetion which that ever attend such blissful occur rences. But that which seemed to give the greatest zest to the occasion was the good humor and bland politeness of the former husband of the bride, who acted as master of ceremonies. His many previous acts of kindness and assist ance to the happy couple show that he possesses a forgiving heart, and is capable of carrying the spirit of charity to a wonderful extent. His wit and Joviality delighted all who were present. Among other things, he remarked that it was the first wedding dinner that he had ever eaten with the bride, and he seemed to enjoy it very much. One gentleman became so absorbed in the happiness of the-occa aion, as to call upon the bride to help him to the chicken. Sundry other passages of highly fla vored humor, which we have not space to par ticularly specify, enlivened the scene, and shed a genial glow of happiness over the whole affair. In conclusion, we ask permission to tender to the bride our sincerest wishes for the future hap piness-and prosperity of herself and her youthful consort.--Magnolid (irk.) Vindicator. About Placards. A writer in the Argosy discovers much in terest in Placards. He says : "The placards on the hoardings in our city present a curious and eke an interesting study, as they change and vary from day to day. like dissolving views or pantomime tricks. The announcements there made to us are sometimes astounding, but not more so than the evidence thereby given of the mar velous amount of 'enterprise and competition which the trade in everything opens to all. It is a hackneyed phrase to say now-a-days, that "one man is as good as another," and a bad joke to add "perhaps better;" but it; by shouting or advertising our own praises, be coming in fact our own town-criers, we can prove ourselves superior to our neigh bors, why the joke is not so bad, or so utterly without meaning. after all. Not the least part, however, of the curious evidence of competition thus displayed is that portion of it which brings out the in genuity and invention of the designers of the placards themselves. What an evident struggle there is continually going on to in vZnt some new combination of forms, colors, or contrasts which shall catch the eye more regdily than all the rest! Now it is an actual portraiture, on a giant-like scale, of some in dividual who sings a song„ or dances a dance, adthirably executed„ and, as we know, at a great cost, put together on a boarding, block by block, piece by piece, and fitted with: all the nicety that a paper hanger would displarin'alady's:beudoir. may'be some equally . grtiphie ,'repreSeritatidtt 'of a son- • gallon scene ,in' drama or novel; or again 'perkap4. a,itete grotesque' combination of : words, NOth , letters,,o,f, divers: colors .and forms, announcing mysteriouW, and to the uninitiated somewhat unintelligibly, the name of a forthcomingipoPular periodical."
