AMERICAN QUEENS. 4 companion-volume to the "Book of Boobs" has just been published in New Y,ork, called "Queens of American Society." Un like Thackeray', famous satire, this hand some volume is devoted in sober earnest te a glorification of the American fashionable world, at the' expense of a large number of private ladies, belonging to the past and present, who are admitted to be either leaders er very prominent in "society," in various parts of the country. Portraits are given of many of these ladies; anl biographies of such minuteness as to settle definitely the feet - that the author has done her work with the "'fa hiroWledge end - consent of the living sub jects of these memoirs. It is- absurd to deny to the fashionable world the ppseession and exercise of real power. Fashion is oneof the most myste rious forces of society, and the almost inevi table graAtation by which it draws, within ' --a • a very large proportion of the , ate epee., - -elishment, *ealttt, wattle; talent, aueeter celebrity and beauty of the world proves the Petemey of, its dominion. It is a real power, lind,ilds power is chleily wielded by women, and so it'COmes to pass that an actually clever Woman. collects their memoirs, and calls them "queens." But although the fashionable worldis a power, it exerts itself 'chiefly as a consumer and very little as a producer. It draws into its courts every thing, that will • increase its own glory lint it sends nothing, or'alsnost nothing, out in 'return , : It delights to capture heroes to grace its feasts, but it rarely makes heroes. It lionizes the man or Woman of letters, but not until they have made themselves famous. It Sometimes indulges in spasms of charity, but the good that it accomplishes in that direction, with a few notable and noble , exceptions, is rather incidental to the shOw and excitement that attend the charity ball or fair 'or festival.. It offers a: great many Premiums to silly men, both young and old, . 'who would win prizes In no other field. It lowers the tone of American manliness and of feminine delicacy. It improves no quali ties but those that are siperficial, and,dwarfa and distorts many minds and hearts that would be noble and great If they were not cramped by its bondage. There are no "queens" in this republican „America, and it is a foolish striving after European manners to assume the phrase. 'Many -of these women whom Mrs. Ellet erowns with royal distinction are faultless members of society. They are refined, highly educated, and accomplished, useful women; good mothers anitwives and daughters, filling their places in soeiety with grace and dignity. Some of those whose atones are told in 'this volume and who t ' , are paraded as the "Queens of American Society" were never anything, but fashion leaders... Possessing that one,. mysterious faculty which makes a woman fashionable, they never rose to any other distinction that was a desirable one ; while all around, them were women who, if women must be dr s igg,ed before the public in print, were a thousand fold more queen-like iu all their native attrite. saes, in all their good Influences, and in all that goes to make up the truest and highest sort of womanhood. We do full honor to many women, known as leaders of fashion, who, throughout the rebellion, devoted themselves to good ancl patriotic and self-denying works which will Dever be forgotten. But they only did what thousands of other women did in Teeter ways and humbler spherea,oftea at fAr greater degrees of personal sacrifice. Our American queens are not all arrayed in purple an 1 fine linen; and the assumption of supreinay by any class, in a nation where all go l d men ' aid women belong to one royal family, 'is i ll * very bad taste and founded upon a very nir row anti insufficient b Isis. Much of the celebrity which Mrs. Ellet at taches to her "Q Jews of American buddy" is derived either from Borg.sets dresses and • estertainments, or from mere personal gossip . sad even scandal; while the panegyrics which she pronounces upon many of her royal -els ' terhood are often so outrageously extravagant and fulsome as to offend eel rules of good taste and delicacy. As a whole, while there if, much well-merited pr.siie, there is a prevailing suggestion in the very ide t of the book, and a than of homage t wit it is ward) , fashionable, that makes it Otbell lially snobbish. It is un-Amerhatie and ' for that reason stone, it is oejecti et dile.

OICIIIIENs In view of the rumors, afloat , that specu lators are preparing AO buy rip in advance • al tickets for the Diekem readings, the follow• ing note to' the, great author, which has come into our , poesession,' may very prOperly be made public: ' • "Piruppompros, Dec: 23, 1837.—r0 Charles Dickens. Esq.—DEAR Sin :• We in Philadelphia are awaiting with considerable impatience the time when we shall have the pleasure of spend ing an evening with, you upon the introduction of our old and, valued friends (I may say our mu tual,friends), Mr. Pickwiek, Bard Weller, Wilkins Micawber, Beg., And others—friends; I assure you, as real,and true as,those we meet every day at our houses or shops or offices or in the street. Messrs. Pogram, Brick and &adder are the only men among us who won't be heartily glad to Ace you, and they are welcome td stay away. But it looks very much, as though sortie of thereat of us would be faked to stay Away who don't belong to that set at all, if we Imo* it, and that because of the extensive preparations whfehsreMaking by various speculative Individuals tcobtry tip the tickets for yonr,evenings, and Make their of the popular desire to hear you read. One gentleman of the fraternity, boasts that he-has perfected arrangements which will give him the control of two thousand tickets. Now Mr. Dickens it may be unfair to ask you to'do, any thing in the matter, and it may be that there is nothing to be done, and , that we the people who own your works in, paper covers and diamond editions must be content to stay at home. But I think that you will perhaps lose thus, not the least appreciative and friendly part of your audi ence—and you are the only one who can help us ; for when out penal code was revised, it was not known that you were coming here, and no penalty was affixed to the offence of speculating - in your tickets. "With all :mod wishes appropriate to the season which is so peculiarly yours- the kindly cheerful Chriatmas time, "I am, yours very respectfully, J. P." There is time enough now, for Philadelphians to make up their minds that they will not be imposed upon by such swindlers as may, through trickery, attempt to secure g, mono poly of the tickets. Neither Mr. Vekens nor his agent can profit by any price gicen above that _regularly... advertised. If outside retailers ask more than this,let their demands be refused. Perhaps if they find themselves, as the newsboys express it, "stuck" with a few hundred at the first reading, they' - will discover that they had better let the business alone. People will be willing to pay Mr. Dickens the price he asks for his reading; but they ought not to pay a cent to - as , one else. . • SUADI:CiIiA3IPAGNE. The Gothamite manufacturers of bogus champagne are in a quandary. Those prying individuals who are engaged in Uncle Sam's Revenue service, have been visiting some of the establishments where Newark cider i 3 converted into "Widow. Cliquot," "Heldsick," "Her Majesty," "Carte d' Or," &,c., and they hake 3 seized unlimited : quantities• of sham champagne, in various processes, from the native apple juice down to the bottled article, resplendent in gaudy • labels, silver rtigl3tt capped, and snugly nestled away in straw and brown paper wrappings. The getters-up of the shams are in . a dilenima. First they urged that it was a genuine article. "Then it must have been smuggled, es you have no re ceipt for six dollars per case duties due upon it," respond the revenue people. Then the wine-makers change their tactics, and declare that they were simply engaged in bottling and "doctoring" cider, or domestic wine or something else bibible, and containing half a dozen headaches to the cubic inch. "Then there is forgery here," say the revenue people, ' " for these labels happen to be those of foreign houses." The wine-doctorers then change their ground and claim their right to manufacture a do mestic article, labels, corks and all. "Then, where are your internal revenue stamps upon the bottles; stampsi such as are required by act of Congress and the regulations of the revenue service, in such cases made and pro vided?" continue the persistent' Officials. If the revenue people are not "fixed" it seems like a blue look but for the concocters of corrupt "Cliquot," bogus 'Touche and vil lainous "Verzenay." The most verdant and inexperienced wine-bibbers will know bogus champagne when its label, in the midst of French text alld foreign"curlecuwe" each bot tle will have upon it oneof those little tell-tale stickers which Unele Sam has contrived by way of intimation that a certain article of domestic manufacture is liable to pay an.ex cite tax and that the • said tax has been duly paid. The dilemma is a most , perplexing , one and the sham ehampagners are in trouble. minority of the committee of City COiMpils,,appointed to consider the subject of a 'Bait : Fire Department, .have prepared an Ordinance which they will offer:when the re- port of '*e majdkity, with the ordinance attached, Orocs up for action. The ordi nance prepared by the minority' contains scarcely anythiqg that is new. It , Proposes to revive under ;another name the' various Boards of -Tire 'Directors, Fire Controllers, &c., which have proved dead failures in the past, and which will'Trove a dead failure in the future, if the. proposed "Board of Fire Commissioners" shouWbe created. Tue minority also virtually actmowleige the par tial operation of the paid principle, for among the penalties prescribed for:derelict engineers is suspension or dismissal 'OO,lOBB of pay. It is worse than useless to tinker'.iwith a thing that demands a radical revoltttion, and it is trifling to put off from time to:Aline a thor ough Change that is demanded, .not alone by I the public interests, but by common justice to thousands, of young firemen who give their services lirolmitnusly to the community. The dearest' of all services are those that are rehdered under the faction of a gratuity. The cost of putting cut Brea must be paid in sonle; shape or other by the community at large: The men who perform the work do' \ more ' than their share towards paying the cost.

John MartinTolevo!otionary Speech in Dublin. [From the Dublin F.YDre4S, Dee. 7.1 About three o'clock the head of the funeral pro cession reached the open space of ground in front of the cemetery gates. It would be impossible to conceive a more dejected and miserable appear ance than they now presented. The gaudy finery of the women was all destroyed by the rain, their dresses covered with mud and torn, and in many iustances they seemed scarcely able to totter another step. Ttteranks of the men, too, had be come disorganized and broken, and they sought in vain to protect themselves beneath the shelter of umbrellas. As soon as the carriage contain ing Mr. Martin drew up in the centre of the ground he was received with vociferous applause, and cotducted to the upper room of a mberable cottage, from which hi. was to address the assemblage. Not a tenth of the procession could aseemble on this spot, and the others prodded through the cemetery to thegate on the Finglas road. As soon as the least degree of attention coeld be secured, Mr. Martin presented himself at the window, and was greeted with complimen tary ejaculations. He 'said: Allutc , onn,tryrnen: .This is a strange kind of funeral procession wo are engaged in to-day. We are here a vast multitude of men, women and children, in a very Inclement reason of the year, under yain and through mud. We are here es corting three empty hearses to the last resting place consecrated er receiving them that die in the Lord. (Cheers.] The three bodies that we would tenderly bcarto the churchyard,and would bury in consecrated ground, with all the solemn rites of religien, are not here. They are away in foreign, hostile land—(cheers 1— where they have been thrown into roconrecrated grounds—c"hear, hear." and cheers] igiaominionsly branded by the triumphant .batred of our enemies as the vile remains of mur derers. [Cries of "Never," and cheers.] Fellow countrymen. they were not murderers. I Re newed cheers and cries of "Never." 1 The true men whose memories we are here today to honor—Allen. Larkin and O'Brien—were pions run, were virtuous men; were men who feared God and loved their country. (Cheers. 1 They sorrowed for the sorrows of the dear old native land of their love. They wished to serve, or, if possible, to save her, and for that love and for that wish they were doomed to an ignominious death by the British hangman. [Cheers.) •It was as Irish traitors that these men were doomed to death—["Hear, " and cheers] —and it was as Irish patriots that they met their death. For those reasons. fellow-countrymen, we are here tizsday,and have joined in this solemn procession to honor their memory. For that reason we say from our hearts, "May their souls rest in peace." [Cheers, and lifting of hats.] For that reason we join, fellow-countrymen, in heir last prayer—" God save Ireland." [Cheers, and raising of hats. Here the speaker was interrupted by one of the bands, which began to play, having just arrived on the ground, but it *ns presently silenced.] The death of those three men, Mr. Martin contended, was an act of English policy. [Some little interruption hero occurred again.i Let me ask yon to end this demonstration as you have carried it through to the present time. You have behaved with most admirable temper, most admirable pa tience. ab d in the best spirit; let us have silence and soh ran ity to the end. I say the death of these three men was legal murder, and Willies:al murder was an act of English policy ["bravo"], of the policy of that nation which, through jealousy and ha tred of our nation, by fraud and force, destroyed our indcpeedent government of 67 years ago. There have beeu 67 Fad years of insult, of rob bery, of impoverishment, of extermination, of Buttering beyond what any other peuple had ever f ndart.d from a foreign master. 1 Ilear, hear.] Nearly all through those years the Irish people continued to pray for a restoration of their in dependEnt national tight. They offered their forgiveness to Englund; they offered even their friendship to England if she would only give up her usurped power to tyrannize over us, and per-. mit us 1.0 live in peace as honorable neighbors. f Cheera. 1 But in vain. England felt herself strong enough to enslave and to rob ns; and she was ton greedy and too insolent to cease from robbing and Insulting UP. And now, fellow countrymen, now it has come to pass, in conse quence of , that malignant policy pursued for so many long years, that tl e great mass of the Irish people despair of obtaining the peaceful restitution of our national right. And it has likewise come to pass that numbers of Erlahtnen, whom the oppresaion of English rule forbade to live by honest industry in their own country, have In America learnt to•become soldiers. "lhavo," and cheersd And these Iriah soldiers seemed resolved to make .war , upon England-- ["hear, hear." and cheere]=-and England i 4 in a sr& of rage and , fear, in Consequence of thin. t (lieers.l And now, being In a panic about. eniani-m, she hopes to, strike terror into the Irish malcontenta by legal warder. relies of "Never" and cheers.

IA voice, " John Bull knewil what to \ do," mid of all the shameful scenes of the trial; up to the last momdat when our dearly beloved' Irish.brethren, were forded to give up their innocent itves as a.` , sacrifice for the cause of Ireland. {"Br teo," and a voice, "New seed; Air." d; Fellow-countrymen, we have no reason to blush for their conduct. They behaved all through scenes that were fit to try the courage of.,,the greatest heroes that ever obtained glory upon earth with Christian patience, with resignation to the will of God, with modest and yet, proud bud firm adherence to principle. They sliorted their love to Ireland and fear of God from first to last. [Cheers. I It is only vain-for me 'to_ attempt to detain you with many words upon this matter. A voice— 'The longer the better.'.'] I Merely say this, that all who are here do not approve of the schemes for the relief of Ireland that, those men were sup posed to have adopted or contemplated; but all who are here, and all patriots in Ireland, and all generous and 'Christian men and women in Ireland, and nil the children that are growing np to be men and women in Ireland—l cheered—all generous ,and Christian men fed an Ititen643 sympathy, an intense love for the mem-. cries; of those three Irishmen, whom England- has Murdered in form of law for the sake of striking terror into our hearts, Cl tiers..( It is Idle for me any longer to •persist in addressing words—weak words of mine—to yon on this occasion. ,Your -presence here tcs iMy, your demeanor all through, and ,your solemn conduct under the terrorism of a hostile government is enough.'

Yon have behaved all', through this day with most admirable spirit, in such a way as good Irishmen and Irish women— the good boys and girls of Ireland—ought to be have. And lam sore yon will behave .so to the end. [Cries of "Yes.'] This demonstration is mainly one: of mourning for thir. , fate of three good Irishmen; but, fellow-eonntry , men. and boys and girls, it is also one of protest and of Indigna tion against the conduct of our rulers. I Groans. I Do not groan. Your attention here to-day is sufficient, and is a sufficient protest; your orderly , "behavior, your good "temper,' all through this wretched weather, your attendance here in such vast numbers, and for such a pur pose, avowedly in the face of the terrorism of the Government-1_ -hear, hear," and cheers]— thatis enough. Let us, therefore, conclude these proceedings by joining heartily with hats off, in this the , rayer of these three men, "God save Ireland. Great cheering and waving of hats. Three cheers were also given for John Martin, and three cheers for the Irish &public.] Ezrr Gims - r.—The Chicago Per of the 11;th gives the following explanation of the late ghost in the county jail: As it was expected yesterday they would be, the mysterious sounds which have so long dis turbed the occupants of the lower part ofe) the Court House were explained in a satisfactory manner, without charging them to any supernatural origin. The officer-3 of the jail through the assistance of one Micha.el McGuire, have discovered that a mischievous occupant of the debtor's prisepti, who is a ventriloquist, htid learned that sot:Lie-unused gas-pipes, terminating in his room, communicated with the basement of the building, and determined to take advantage of that fact to create some diversion for himself and coinpanions, and at the same time play a prac tical joke on the people of the city. By insert lug a funnel, made of paper, in the end of the tube, he bad, only to place his lips near the former, and produce a peculiarly wailing sound, to make a similar noise in the corridors below. He readily produced a grand sensation, and no small amount of sport over the consternation caused among the officers and inmates of the jail The pipes were promptly stopped up and the little trick concluded fertile present, ilialeBl3 some other means of causing the same sounds may be discovered. lbe 'County jail was closed to all voluntary visitors last evening. 1114 PChRTyrrONS Reported for the ila e puss Evening Bulletin.

THE DAILY EVENING, 13ITLEETIN.TPIIILANDELPIIIA, VONDAY, DEI E3IBETI I THIRD EDITION LATER FROM . WASHINGTON-, THE 'PRESIDENT ON THE VETO Another Quarrel With • Congress Pending. • MORE WHIf3KYREVELATIONS Robbery and Murder in Massa , ethusetta. [Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) WASHINGTON, December 23.—Should a ma jority of Congress adhere to theposition taken by many since the recess, con cerning the status of the bill striking the word "white" out of the laws of this District; a fresh controversy: between Congress and the President seems likely to`arise: President Johnson takes an opposite view from that of Spiaker Col fax, and many of the, members of, the House of RepresentatiVes. holde that`many bills have failed under 'the operatlchi' of the "pocket veto," and. that Congress will have to , pass ,it over again - and give him another opporninity to vetd It. Several. Repnblpans contend that the bill Is now a law. inasmuch as that clause of the Constitution rela tive to vetoes does not consider recesses, but ad journment. There are differences of opinion on this sub ject, even among the Republicans, and it wil probably be a fruitful theme of discussion in Congrese. The Whisky Frauds. apecial Deepatch to the Evening Balletin.3 WAsnixorox. Dec. 23.—A curious fact has been brought to light regarding the recent move ment of the whisky men here. Becoming alarmed at the exposure of their movements, they sought. by manipulating certain correspon dents. here attached to certain leading journals outride tht- eityto have, them deny that their recent Convention was composed of men who had defrauded the Government, and alleging that otly in - one or two instances was this so. In the\ published list of the delegates it appears that there were fifty-eight housea rep , resented in the late Convention, and on a close comparison'of this list at the office of the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue with the books there, it is found that thirty-two of these firms have been detected and closed for either swindling or attempting to swindle and defraud the Gov ernmerit. Notwithstanding this fact, the Whisky Ring do not hesitate to assert thatthe recent Con vention was composed entfrely of honest men,who were devoted to the interests of the Government, and by using certain journals they seek to estab lish this erroneous impression,. Excepting those firms who deal in dings or - chemicals, or those who act as commission merchants for the sale of whisky, there was hardly a whisky firm represented here who have not at some period had their whisky seized by Govern- ment officials.

' _ iM IL SIIER3tAN'S BILL TO even THIS NATIONAL IlltllT. On December 17 Mr. kihermare from the Senate Finance Committee. reported a bill which aims at consolidating the petale debt, at the name time stating that "while the Committee was satisfied the leading idea of the bill was right, they would accept all suggestions, so as to set every .. noegible means of information. Two point. were 'Mg- geeted and elaborated at some length in the World of De- ceir bar 10, W. 24 and 05,0 f last year,and on January 1 of this. Year. 'I be first of these points welch the gored suggested was "the helm of bend* payable. prim eipal e nd interest in 'coin in London, Paris and Frankfort, bearing interest at the rate of five percent. per annum, and payable semi 'annnclly in the tetra currency of them cities." Mr. Sher man's bill Wffeert from that the World suggested. by leav ing ant Paris. and in making the interest at the rate of four and a half per et nt. per annum, instead of five per rent, ant alts clogs the whole affair by an at- temptto fix the rate of exchange. by raving "at a rate of exchange equivalent to fire francs per dollar." As the re melt to be attained by the issue of these bonds, payable abroad in foi ellen currency. Is to induce Europeans to :exchange them for the five-twenties six per cent bonds they now hold, it requiree no great knowledge. of buniness matters to see that five per cent. bond. • payable in the foreign currency et a denier:Med place and date. in London, Paris and Frankfort, in the 'nivel money of those cities, without regard to the rate of exchange paid or the cost of placing the funds there, would offer advantages to Europeans in the exchangitg of the she per cent. for five per cent hoods which are wanting in Mr. Sherman's propositions topay only fair and a half per cent, and to clog the dividends with etipuletions as to an arbitrary and not real rate of the What an investor wants in any country is Idle certainty of unvarying stability in the receipt of in come; or, in other words. the receipt of a fixed men, on a fixed date.. in his own fixed legal currency. Mr. Sher. man's clog on the rate of exchange embarrassed the fords ner's income received limn Our I bon& with a wholly unnecessary mixing up with rates of exchange, and that,. to without arty benefit or raving of mune,' to the United States Govern ment On the contrary, Mr. Bherman'd exehange chum, taking the average of the last ten years on a specie barrio, would prove a loss, as it would cost the Government more to place the in terest in Ern ope than remittances at the actual cur rent rates of exchange. For example, the rates for eters ling Lilly on London during the last ten years have ranged from 101 to 11036. which (eight to show the Minima Com mittee that the tette to he paid by goyerntam t for bill* of • exchange on Europe are not smatter for legislative enact merit any mole than the price to be paid r or cotton or any other merchantable property. In the World of Dec.ldlest year we stated "that Europe held from $350,1100,000 to $500,000,0130 of five-twenty bonds which were marketable and 'salable with equal faculty in Europe and the United Stater, and, owing to this tact, them bonds', in their present form are practically certified checks for specie on the United Staten payable, on demand, in gold." Int that -article we pointed oat that the remedy for this power to injure our financial and commercial interest'', which .we have placed in the hands of Europe, and by which It can drabs us of our neck , whenever knropean interests or necee Mee may require, is "for Congress to D.BB a law which shall nullify" as a salable. security in the markets of the United States all our (loveinment bonde held by Enteric, and - .shall make - them as — much as ponsible an European security, eatable with facility only is European markets, and shall make them as little as possible en European security, 'ratable with difficulty in American markets." Elated.
