NEW YEAR'S EVE. rrom the Gcrinam Again the happy New Year's Eve has ce, kindling streams of light in the parlors come rich, and even sending brighter beams from the candles of the poor! For who would not Yeary this evening, and give• to the New a friendly welcome? Fine equipages roll along the streets, carrying still liner guests - to• the ball, and pedestrians hasten along through the crowd that they may not be late to the social parties of their friends. Everywhere are brieht apartments, frem which joyfal; festive strains Wand forth. I was a stranger in St. Petersburg, where I bad gone on business, and had expected to pass there New year's Eve, quietly and alone, when,l:denlly encountered an old school friend who urged me to pass the evening with him at his father's house. When .I entered with him the elegant par lor which expressed so much comfort a bled. nd luxury, all the guests had already My assem friend introduced me to his father, a General in the Russian service, and to his mother, still a very beautiful, stately lady. Russian hospitality is a virtue too often spoken of for me to enlarge upon here, but that which is so refreshing and agreeable to the heart of estranger cannot be too much acknowledged and extolled. The company consisted only of members of the family, beside myself and a young Germain pair. As the General's wife was of German birth, and, had brought up her children with a large ehare oilier love for her native land, it was not a matter of surprise that the conversation turned soon upon her distant home, and its old and new customs. The last night of the old year, with its su perstitious pryinga into the future, became the next subject of conversation; and ~t he young German bride was inexhaustible in her narrations ,on this subject.. Even the General entered into it, mentioning similar customs among the Russians, evidently having the same origin, whatever it might have been with ours. . Meantime the great silver "Samovar" was brought in, and our worthy hostess, while occupied with the preparation of the tea, could only take a small part in our conversa tion, but I noticed that she lent to it an attentive ear. From time to time a curious smile would play over her features, especially when the preservation in a womanly way, pleaded for the of these old cus toms, which she called "poetical," and at the same timeAeclared that very often what had been seen on New Year's Eve had been ful- filled! "Yes indeed'." she cried, pathetically,with Hamlet ' , "there aro, more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed, of in your philo sophy!" "True, indeed!" laughed the General. "You young people would dispute and clear away everything, but if we two older ones only choose, we could tell fOU a story that would give you some light on this subject!" His wife, with word and gesture, entreated him to spare her,' but her very unwillingness only excited our curiosity the more, so that the united entreaties and compellings were more thiul she could resist. After her hus band had promised to narrate half the story, the dear lady placed herself in our midst and turning especially to us strangers, began as follows: "On thebordera of Prussia is he tittle vil lage of G---, where I was born, t and passed my childhOod and youth. My mother died too soon for me to ever realize the wonderful love of which I was deprived, and my father was too earnest and self-occupied a man to have time or inclination to busy himself with a child. My life, thatia, my childhood, would have been quite joyless, had it not been for my nurse, who never left me until she died, a few years ago. Bina was to me a mother in devotion and unselfish care, and also my un wearied playmate; and Ido not remember that she ever, refused to run races with me, or play ball or hide and go seek. She was my teacher, too. From her I received my first religions instruction, and a wonderful mix ture it was, of faith and superstition, of hea thenish worship of nature, and true piety, which in her were remarkably united. She taught me to pray, and told me about my holy mother, whom she numbered among her numerous saints. Was it remarkable under these cireumstances, that I clung to her with even a greater love than she felt for me? , Especially, too, as she had a never failing charm, which consisted in the won derful, and, sometimes fearful stories which she narrated -with so much vividness, and in such mysterious tones, that often half the night long I trembled at them in my little bed! "So I grew up and reached my sixteenth year Without this affection, without having any of those counteracting female friendships, which are SO apt, to be farmed among schoolmates and other companions. Solitary, except for the society of my nurse, my mind had re ceived an earnest, almost melancholy color , ing, and her fanciful mind had exercised a very decided influence upon my own roman tically inclined nature. 'Although Bins had long ceased narrating tales to me, still she always seemed to me an embodied story, full of wild poesy and ro mance. In everything, she saw signs and wonders. •Upon the ordinary events of life, she placed spiritual interpretations, and our own house-servants as well as those of the neighbors, regarded her with reverence. "My seventeenth birth-day had come,longed for by Bina with feverish impatience ! The mysterious hints which she had dropped had led mo to ask several times what particular connection they had with my seventeenth birth-day, but she would only answer, in her oracular way, 'Man sees but little, yet must, believe much !' Through this and' similar sayings, and especially through a certain gayety in her manner,she excited me to such a degree, tlrit I could not think of this day's approach without agitation. - "The long-expected day arrived--the last day of tte year! Bina informed me in a sole= ne, alter a tedious preamble, that since my birthday came on New Year's Eve, I might have the great good fortune of seeing my future' husband, if I would only do as she would tell me. I was not so ready to agree to this its she expected, for I feared my father, whom I had often heard criticize such things in a very severe way. But now I first, learned to know her impetuous nature. Upon her knees she entreated me, by all that was, holy, not to ruin this pleasure for her. She had not long to live, she said,• • for she ever bore with her warnings of death, and dying would be easy indeed, if she could only he assured of the future of her darling. "Sineemy birth-day was the anniversary of my mother's death, it was never made a fes tival 'occasion. : father, at evening,, with drew to hiaroom even earlier than usual,and I passed several hours alone in great agita tion until Bina called me. • "My room and hers, which were close to gether, were on the quite high ground floor of our house, in the first-story of which my father and all•the servants slept, so that we two were quite isOlated. "When at llina's call, at lea, on this New Year's Eve, I entered my room, I was almost blind Ad by the bright candle-light which • streaggjfroM it, and the festival appearance it pr rated. But my astonishment was greateat at the, sight of a table standing in the maid& of , the room, covered with a white cloth, and, al it, two plates, etc. Vwas not allowed to express, however, my surprise, in • wordy` for Bina signified to me by every sort ofst p , I,bat I was by no means to speak! • Thee. hegan'to make my toilet, loosened nay h44;placed on it a very. beautiful myrt*- meathortad pat upon me a snow-white dress which she bad previously prepared for me, without my knowledge. Then elle led me to the table,and made me sit down at: one of the plates.,,. With my heart beating audibly, and yet feeling that the whole thing was absurd, I sat thus a long time, without there being anything to disturb the 'deep stillness 'and quiet. This revived my sinking _courage, a deeper sense of my ludicrens position began to be excited in me, and I was just Opening my month to make a very skeptical remark, when the church-clock struck twelve, in loud, resounding tones, and, to my utter horror, I heard m the hall=footsteps! the .footsteps of a man! and saw a tall, youth ful figure, dressed in an officer's uniform,enter the room, and slowly approach the table ! "My recollection, however, can go no fur ther ; for what followed I know not. I lost all consciousness in a deep . swoon. When I came 'to myself, I was in my bed, while father, Bina and, the. physician were leaning over me with anxious faces. They feared a nervous fever; but fortunately my strong con stitution triumphed, and in a few days I was able to leave my bed. As soon as I was strong enough to think over the cause of my illness, I came to the conclusion that the ap pearance was a delusion produced by my imagination having' been over-excited by Bina's mysterious doings, and emphatically forbade her ever to mention this occurrence .to.me again. The incident was not, however, without wholesome results to me ; for it taught me the injurious influence of such su perstitious ideas„and at what cost of reason I had hitherto allowed theeto prevail over my 'mind ; and from that time forward I became a different person." The General's wife ended thus, and turn ,in g affectionately to her husband, said, "Now, it is your turn, my dear,lo finish the story." Assenting, he cleared his throat, and began : "At that time,.l. was a light-hearted, merry fetidly,. full of courage and love of adventure, beginning to fbel much too cramped and lim ited by my position, thirsting,as I was to do great deeds and longing for activity ! With my jokes and tricks, I made the little Lithuan ian village, on the Russian borders, in which I was placed in garrison-service, ring, but that did not long satisfy . my' youthful spirits. Our little garrison were in despair, it seemed so impossible to stir up any excitement. The Christmas holidays passed without song or , noise, to the universal disgust of my com rades; but I determined then that the Now Year, at least, should not begin so insipidly, and that we should have a ride to the village of G. and celebrate the occasion with an ap propriate jollification. My decision met with general approval, but had to be carried into execution very secretly and carefully, as G. laid beyond our limits, and we did not wish our plan to come to the ears of our strict Colonel. However, we were so sure of the discretion of our then comrades, that we took measures accordingly, and left the rest. to chance. Noiselessly and unnoticed, we left our vil lage, and arrived safely at G. Here we dis mounted and prepared to pass carefully through the chief street to the hotel, where our supper was. prepared,—when I stopped, surprised, before a house, from which, for so small a village, a wonderful brilliancy of light Streamed forth, contrasting singularly with the perfect silence within. Motioning to my companions to keep on their way, I swung myself noiselessly to the projection which the wall made under the window. From this standing-point I could see the whole room in all its details, and it presented to me a ,epec tacle so strange and remarkable that I shall never forget its: appearance. A very beauti ful girl, in a white garment, her long, flowing black hair adorned with a wreath of myrtles, sat there, in the middle of the room, by a handsomely arranged table, upon which were plates, for two persons. At first I was as agitated as delighted, with this lovely, fan ciful picture, the meaning of which I imme diately suspected. I had once heard, I know not when, or where, of this custom of pene trating into the future, and saw at once that here, before me, was something of the same sort. My courage soon returned, and I de termined not to lose such a capital opportu nity for a joke. The neighboring clock was striking pre , cisely twelve, so that I had no time, even if I desired it, for consideration. During the far resounding strokes of the hour ? unheard, I approached the door, yvhich, as it by previous arrangement, I found to be only latched, and following the gleam of light which shone through a crack, crossed the corridor, opened the door,and would have sat down coolly at the table; but the eyes of the young girl, who gazed at me with inexpressible horror, mag netized me, so that my foot was spell-bOund, and when I tried with determination to step forward, suddenly, with. a cry which pierced my inmost soul, she sank upon the floor. At this, a second figure, which I had not before noticed, appeared upon the scene; she began to take up the girl in her arms, whilst, terrified, she made the sign of the cross against me. But I, confounded at the unexpectedly tragic turn which the adventure appeared to take, as quickly as my confusion would allow, sought the open air, hastened out of he town, mounted my horse, and leaving my friends to their merry feast, rode to my quarters as if the Furies were after me ! 1 pass over the space of a year. Upon the monotony of that Lithuanian border-town broke the call of the Emperor, bringing me into a life full of true adventure and danger, upon the Caucasian theatre of war, with the wild, knightly inhabitants of the mountains. And again, after that year's, honorable cam paign, the healing of a wound received in battle led me to Bt. Petersburg. Here I was in the habit of passing my evenings in the house of a companion, Col. S., who became very dear to me during the expedition. One evening, during a visit, as usual, upon this family, which I liked so much, I found them in deep sorrow, the cause of which, my friend's wife said, was the death of her brother, of which she had just been informed. Her nice, this brother's only child, bad sent her the sad news, with a letter, written by the deceased in his last days, in which with the most touching expressions,he commended his daughter to her protection, as his child's only living relative. She had, of course, written at once to this neice, she added, to offer her a home in her house, and expected her the next day. "My friends," said the General. "this infor mation was by no Means agreeable to me; for, if I may confe,ss it to, you, ever since that New Year's Eve upon the borders, I had a horror of meeting ladies, and it always cost me a contest with myself, to make the ac quaintance of one. I felt something like fear at the appearance of the expected stranger, and, in fact, as long as possible, I avoided the house of my friend. But at last I was obliged to make the already tod-long-deferred call, and went. It was in winter, late in the ever*, and the parlor was already full. I, saw anckgreeted only those whom I knew. The strange lady, in conversation with another, sat in such a position that I could see her slender figure, draped in black, and her pale, earnest and • beautifully regular features, but not her eyes, which were cast down, when, suddenly, she raised them; and looked at me. A. tearful trembling seized me in all my limbs; those eyes had once be fore 'affected me in the same way, but I kneW not when or—where. This thought tortured me; and, in great agitation, I left the parlor before they went to supper. It so happened that it was again New Year's Eve,when I saw the puzzling stranger for the second time. One of , the ladies pro posed that, for the entertainment of the rest; the young ladles should represent the custom ary efforts to divine their ',future husbands; mid, among laughter and plies, the idea was carried out. Watehing the stratiget, saw her turn very pale, and with hands clasped TilE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PIIILADEIAPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31.,18(7. . . upon her heart, as if in pain, she left the room. I followed her, unnoticed, into the next apartment, but remained; upon the threshold, as if spell-bound, for she stood there, in the:middle of the room, her hands still pressed upon her heart, gazing at me with suchla fearful expression, that I. was greatly alarmed. At the same moment it flashed through my mind suddanly, where and when I had seen those eyes before, and had felt them rest upon me with the same ex pression! Not very strong myself, I fell down at her feet, exclaiming : 'lt was you whom I saw a year ago, this New Year's Eve, in that little border-town—forgive me!' The con fession of my fault was net the only one that, at that moment, came from my, heart and lips. I succeeded in obtaining' from Matilda an assurance which fulfilled the-won derful fate which had twice brought us to gether, and when we returned to the parlor the assembled company were greatly aston ished at the news that they beheld In us a be trothed pair!" With -this the General 'finished his story, embraced his wife with much emotion r and we were all pleased to have lived over with them that New Year's Eve and its fulfil ment. The Eruption—Magnaficent Spectacle- Etre and billow Together. [Naples (Dec. 7) Cor. London Times.) Wind, rain, hail and snow have been our visitors for the last two days. Vesuvius •from the top of •the cone to, the bottom is covered with snow,and so are the mountains all around the bay. Yet the column of smoke continues to rise from the gigantic crater, and the flames to gush out, while the streams of lava descend, making broad black lines ri the glistening white mantle of the mountain. The union is remarkable; it seems to upset all our preconceived ideas of things—fire and snow thus minglieg i in happy harmony. Who shall say that oil and water shall • not henceforward , mingle, or any other opposites, material, moral or social? I have already sent you one or two descriptions of the eruption in its early state, but so marvellous and long-con tinued a spectacle will perhaps Nally tome additional notes, especially as it has exhibited various phases. To the eye Vesuvius has never failed in beauty; indeed, the magnifi cence of the display has increased from day to day, and poor unscientific mortals like myself might well be excused for thinking that, as in Pyrotechnics, all must terminate in one grand explosion for the benefit of the assembled spectators. Professor Palmieri, the director of the Observatory, has, how ever, more than once toned down our ex pectations, and done his best to destroy our illusions. Last Saturday he said there were indications of a decline of the eruption, but on the next day, as if resenting the imputa tion, the mountain showed greater vigor than ever, and shot up stones and flames to an extraordinary height. The grounds of the opinions of the learned professor were that the sismograpla had been less active for two days; the detonations, too, had almost ceased, and the character of the matter ejected was altogether different from what it was at first. In early days the lava; was in small bulk, and was covered over with scathe, here known by the name of ferrosine, bu towards the end of last week the smoke that ascended was perfectly black and the ashes were of a kind which are thrown out generally towards the termination of an eruption. For some days, too, the summit of the mountain has been whitened with a deposit of sublimaths of chlerion and sulphates, leading one to believe, even on bright, sunny days, that the snow had fallen above. The heavy rains, however, cleared that off, and we no'v see Vesuvius mantled in real snow. Some scientific friends who were up the other eve ning, after rapturously describing the scene, tell me they observed at one time a curious phenomenon—the ascent of a perfectly formed circlet of flame, vacant within; it mounted high into the air and then remained suspended for some time. To go up the cone, however, or even to approach its foot, is now ' impracticable, so frequent are the showers of stones, and to so great a distance are they thrown. Those who are willing to encounter a great danger are promised a wondrous spectacle. in the upper part of the irregular crust which walls round the crater is an opening, somewhat above the ordinary level •of the lava which is flowing over the lower parts of this boundary, and through this opening the adventurous visitor may witness a boiling sea of fire. But he may pay dearly for it; the lava may rise to the height of this peep-hole, or the wind may change and bring down upon him a shower of burning stones which may crush him. I have not heard, therefore, of any one who has risked his life to enjoy the pleasure of .a moment. It is satisfactory to be able to state that as yet no accidents have occurred. The guides are good, and those who implicitly follow their directions are pretty secure. Many parties go up every night, and amongst them many ladies—that is, principally English ladies, for those of this country have long lost the use of their legs. As yonwill be prepared to believe, the form of the mountain is greatly altered, and I may say improved, as the cone has an apex now. For the last seven years one might have fancied that an accident had happened to it, or that some of those Goths who . visit us in the winter, and chip off bits of an tiquity, and knock off the noses of statues, had by some gigantic effort thrown down the culminating 'point of Vesuvius. It is all right now; , the little inner cone has shot above the crater, or has grown by the• vast accumulation of ashes, and so the beauty of the form of the mountain is perfected. At present the eruption is more glorious than it has ever been. The lava flows down in increasing floods between the north and east, encroaching even on the path of ascent; ;the electro-magnetic siimograph, too, shOws continued agitation, and this gorgeous spec tacle still gives promise of a much longer continuance.

This decision of the government has contributed to raise the credit abroad, particularly in England, the debt for which these bonds were issued haying been contracted previous to the establishment of Greece as an independent time, and considered of so doubtful a character that the English government never deemed it proper to urge the payment of claims of English subjects, who are:tbe principal bondholders.

MEETING OF TILE BOARD OF TRADE.--LAAt evening the members of the Board of Trade met at their recene, VII Chestnut street, to consider matters pertaining to - National Finance. John Welsh, Esq„ presided. George L. Buzby Esq., presented the following report, for the hearing of which the meeting was called: ' The committee appointed by the Executive Coun cil, charged with the preeentation of the subject of contraction of the currency, resumption of specie pay ments, &c.. to the P.oard of Trade was unable to agree. The majoritytreport, signed by Messrs. George I..Buzhyt, F. Fraleyand iticbard Wood, was submitted as follows: Resolved, That the Board of Trade of Philadelphia respectfully recommend to the Senate of the United estateethe prompt passage of the bill adopted by the .leuee of Reresentatives, suspending further con traction of the currency. Resolved. That the normal resumption of specie payment cannot be enforced by act of Congress unless assisted by full mops, prosperous industry, and a res toration of political harmony throughout the country. "When these conditions shall have been secured, we will advance toward resumption at a healthy and matured pace, without the interference of arbitrary legislative enactment Resolved, That the payment of the principal of the national debt should•be reduced to a minimum rate per annum, in order to lighten the weight of taxation which now cripples the energies of the people. Resolved, That a printed copy of these resolutions be sent to each member of both houses of Congress, as expressing the views of the Philadelphia Board of Trade. Mr. Bnzby followed up the reading of this report 'with lengthy remarks in opposition to the further. contraction programme which Secretary McCulloch proposes to carry out. In speaking of the amount of circulating paper now in the United States, hir.Buzby 0 said, to form an opinion as to what should be the proper amount of a circulating medium for this coun try, we should also cosider wht are the amounts in England and Francn a e. The, most authoritative -explanation of this matter states that they have $l,lOO, 000,600 .of Lcirculating medium in France. Since then this quantity has increased; hat say that that amount is now but $OOO, iII 000, we must add to it the cculatton in paper, 8170,116,000; here we have a circulating medium of 830 per head. In Great Britain they have $700,01)0,000 of circulation, and if 1n those countries they have such a great circulating medium, shall this country, that. stretches with its vastness from ocean to ocean, and as yet with partially developed resources, have an infinitely lees amount to content itself with? If they have e 1,000,000,000 in France, and 8700,000,0)0 in England, how much ought - we to have? McCulloch says we have $810,000,000 legal tenders, and $300,000, 000 of national bank notes, and , of this $170,000.000 is held in reserve, which snakes the circulation about 1000,000,000. Is this an excess, when France and England claim such a vast amount? Should he give this des perate insult to our new currency, and by constantly shrieking from it, and destroying the machinery of -circulation, which would stop our interchange of com modities, close our factories, and at last drive us to repudiation? For, if we pursue the plan proposed, it 'will come to that at laat. For if you commence to make war upon the people, and clip them of every *facility they have, you will begin to admit repudia tion. It is only from New England and New York *City, that the clamoring comes for contraction. A •morning paper stated that New England and New York have $178,000,000, and the Middle States but *58,000.0006 of the entire circulation. `• The two former portions of our country can well be pleased that they should bold the great part of its cir culation, while the other States and cities are bereft of it. We are told that contraction-will bring us to specie payment by the reduction of - premium the on gold. Here is a statement which gives what would be a true result if this programme is carried oat. In November, 1805, the total currency was $762.- 4100, COO. and gold was at 187 M. On November I, 1807, there was but $429,000,000 currency, and gold stood at 140. How much more contraction would it take to place gold up to 200? We should oppose this sudden contraction, which, if carried out, will 'we've dele terious to our linenclal and commercial affairs. . Mr. Welsh said: There is not a man, during the past year, having proper security, who could not ob. taro money: There is now anxiety in looking to aecn rities. The experience of the past goes for nothing. Medlook superficially at our country without telling you of its great strides in civilization and commercial prosperity. We hag drat : a ponvertible, apank note • currency, :Take 4t as It las, the highest point tn the , .42111Slipy .bolas tho war, to IM t - Nil IMMO, (94 40,600,000 la-what . Congress .thinks a askthe t alnfivg medium for this country. We. to cease contraction, hecause there is anzietyln finan cial circles. In the sale of the 60, 100, 140 millions of 'gold which is hoarded away in the cells of the capital vault, and its return in etirrency, we base the, cause of this disturbance in financial cl cie , And it is not by the contraction of currency that an agitation is caused in financial circles. Frederick Fraley, tog., saidi ft Is not merely a question of converting tuts paper money into gold that lies at the bottom of the subject. It is the burden, that has been laid upon us by the' late war. Previous to ISllt the people of the United States were burdened with sixty or eighty millions a year. Now they are burdened with $300,0110,000. We have contracted a debt of. 82,01,000,000 in paper, and we determine to pay it in gold, and before doing this we must give the country sufficient breathing time in order to gain strength to do it. These resolutions look to that, and I fully concur in their expression. What we want is time to breathe; time to grasp our resources; time to increase in oar financial strength. Mr. Wetlaerill said that those who were for cOntrac lion Alesired it, but not speedily. We should con tract by degrees; bat it the industries of the country ander, not to contract. Mr;Daniel Steinmetz said we cannot conceive of the resumption of specie payment, without prostrating the industries of the country at once: We cannot revive if we fail in the effort to resume specie pay ment, for in that effort we use all the energies and re sources of the people. Contraction of the currency and resumption of specie payments. aro one and the same thing, and I would hope and wish that these resolutions had ten times their strength of expres sion, and to have them forced on Congress with ten times their power. Mr. Wetherill said that the animus of the resolu tion under consideration was "no contraction," and afterwards "expansion." A 'vote was taken on the first resolution offered in the report read by Mr. Bnzby, which resulted in its rejection. It was then moved by Mr. Steinmetz that the reso lutions be recommitted to the committee, and that it report at a general meeting to he held at some not far distant time, when all the merchants and commercial men should be invited to be present.'

Tm GREMAN HOSPITAL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. - The annual meeting °of the contributors of the German Hospital was held last evening at the hall of the German' Socieey, in Seventh I street, the President, Jqseph M. Reichard, presiding. The eighth annual report was read - by the President, exhibiting that the institution numbered during the year 192 al. tients, of which number 71. y per cent. were Ga-• mans. Of this number 119 'were discharged as cured or convalescent, and-18 deceased. Thirty patients were treated In the surgical wards, not a few of which were very delicate cases, bat in each instance successful. The number of patients in the wards. at ; present is 29. The attendance of the physicians, Fricke, Beeken, Bchrotz, Fischer, Demme, Roemer, Kaemmerer and Patzki, is entirely gratuitous; the only compensated medical officer being tne resident physician, August F. Muller, until re cently connected with the Pennsylvania Hospital. The library of the hospital, consisting of Ger man, French and English Works, numbers nearly tour hundred volumes, The corporation was the recipient of a very valuable donation from Mayer Gana one of the Directors, consisting of a mas sive Iron gateway, for principal entrance to the grounds of the institution, on Twentieth street. The balance in the treasury in December, 1866, was $BO3 20—the receipts from various sources during the year, $9,875 31, and a loan of $3,000, making an aggregate of $13,678 54. The expen (Mures during the same time were $13,180 64; in cluded in this sum, however, is $1,530, balance of tqloan paid, laving a balance in the treasury at this time of s49i 90. A portion of the expenses during the year were for stoekffig the place, and for the internal fitting up of the establishment. The .compensation for help during the year amounted to $1,762.50. This was the first year of the active operation of the institution, although the eighth of the ex istence of the same, it beng instituted in April, 1860. At the session of last evening 43 an nual and 8 life members were elected. The num ber of members reported • previous to this session was 297 annual, 83 life members, and 4 associatives.

THE YOUNG MENNERCHOR HALL.-The-f 0171151 opening of the Young Minnerchor Singing So-' ciety Hall, Cherry street, above Fifth, took place last evening. The members of this enterprising and most excellent organization, accompanied by their ladles, were present in large numbers, and passed a moat pleasant evening. At nine o'clock the dining hall was thrown open, awl three long tables filled with the choicest of viands were'soon surrounded with a merry party. Dr. Julius Hein, who for many years held the position of Presi dent of the Society, made a happy address, 're ferring to the splendid career of the So ciety, and urging the members to keep the spirit alive and push the organization along for greater and more glorious deeds. Mr. Hart man and others made short addresses. The din ing ball was then cleared, and dancing and sing ing followed. The festivities were kept up 'to a late hour. We heartily congratulate the Young l'illinnerchor for the step they have taken. in se curing comfortable quarters. The building is well adapted for their purpose, being divided in such a manner as to give them a banqueting, dancing and concert hall on the first floor; a la dies' reception and meeting room on, the second, and a billiard and eating saloon on the third floor, making it a happy and home-like place for the members of the organization and their friend's.

THE GIRARD Comeux.—The Special Commit tee of Councils appointed to examine into the facts connected with the removal of Major Smitk from the Presidency of Girard College; concluded the_ examination of witnesses yesterday, and a sub-cotamittee of four was appointed to prepare a report to be submitted to Councils. A Guitivr Accommooßriox.--The Chestnut and Walnut Streets Railway Company intend running a night line upon their road, commenc ing to-morrow night. This wilt be a great ac commodation to residents in West Philadelphia, and tend to increase the population there. A NEW PUBLIC HAl.r..—The efforts Inaugurated by some of the most prominent and enterpris ing citizens of Camden, a short time since, to se cure the erection of a new and appropriate City Hall, are likely to culminate in the accomplish ment of the object proposed. Gentlemen repre- , senting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of real estate have signed petitions to Council ; asking that body to take action on the subject, and to make suitable arrangements at an early day for the commencement of the desired enter pre. The safety of the public records, the in terests and credit of the city demand a new City Hall. The present accommodations in each de partment are inadequate, being too small and contracted—the cells of the lock-up too few. In fact, the whole arrangement, size and appear ance of thepresent hall Indicate the necessity of tearing it completely down and erecting in its stead a building which will meet the wants and purposes of that rapidly improving city. THE Nzw YEAR.—The first of January, 1868, will be signalized in Camden by the commence ment of many valuable Improvemenpb and the inauguration of a seasortof unnsual'attivity and enterprise. More than one hundred new build ings have already been contracted for and will be begun as soon as the weather will admit, and it is estimated that upwards of four hundred will be completed before the year closes. Many other valuable improvements will be made, greatly contributing to and advancing business and commercial' interests. The horse car rail road will be completed, the new churches now in progress will be ready for the purposes designed, and many new business enterprises will be started, which will add materially to the pros perity of the city. COMPLET'ED.—Hon. John F. Starr has com pleted a very large and substantial wharf at the toot of Cooper street, Camden, designed for. a new and extensive lumber yard. These wharf improvements are to be continued, thus in creasing the advantages of the river front, by giving enhanced facilities to the shipping in terests. PEEPARISTO IVOII THE SEASON.—The Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company are busily en gaged in building new cars anditreparing others, preparatory to the coming season. It is believed that next summer will be the most successful one ever enjoyed in Atlantic City. Trig Corras—The January term of the Cam den county Courts will commence on the second' Tuesday of that month, Judge Woodhull presid ing, with R. 8. Jenkins, Eeq., Prosecutor of the Pleas.. The term, It is thought, will be a pro tracted one. Puna ac Boui,mt.,-The suggestion made not long aince in reference to purchasing a lot of ground suitable for a "city park," meets with much encouragement. It is probable that Conn ,cil will appoint a committee to investigate the matter at au early day. • • From our West Edition of Yesterday. Pr,eeldentleillew Year Iteception. [Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Dec. 80.—The official pro gramme let the President's reception at the White /louse has just-.been promulgated. It states that at eleven o'clock, A. M., the President will receive the members of the Cabinet, Foreign Insisters, Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, Senators, Rep resentatives, Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the Court of Claims.

The recep tion of citizens will commence at 12 M. to be continued till 2 o'clock, when ladies will be re ceived. In the case of of General Pope, there ap pears to be no doubt but that General Grant objected very strongly to the re moval for the same reason that he protested against 'the removal of Sheridan last summer, but It has not transpired that he wrote any pri vate letter in the case. The Psucshase of St. Thomas. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.—1 t appears that the new Danish Minister, who arrived here a few days ago, was unaware that there was any difference between the Executive and Con gress regarding the purchase of the Island of St. Thomas. His friends state that Secre tary Seward had' so represented matters to the Danish Government ,as to leave the impression that the, treaty would bequickly ratified by this Government. Immediately after his arrival he called upon 'Mr. Seward, to con sult with him in regard to the matter, but the latter pleaded an extraordinary pres sure of public business, and bowed the the Danish Minister, out very politely, leaving the latter , feeling considerably chagrined at hfs reception by our Secretary of State; and up to the present time he has. been unable to' gain another audience and learn officially the condi tion the treaty is in. This Is a true statement of the case, as learnedifrom a party connected with a foreign legation here, and among the foreign ministers themstter caused considerable comment. Relief for the Destitute People of the South. General Howard proposes to meet the cases of distress in the South by a liberal application of the surplus funds under his control as head of the Freedmen's Bureau. An unexpended balance of over $8,000,000 still, remains in the exchequer of the Bureau. In the case of some South Carolina planters, who had no money to commence ope rations for raising cotton last year, Gen. Howard,; though not legally authorized to make 'such disposition of the Bureau funds, advanced a sum of $BO,OOO, taking a lien on the crops for the repayment of the money. When the planters sold their crops the entire amount was liquidated, and General Howard's beneficent course was gratefully...appreciated. In the case of the Mis sissippi planters, who loot everything .by the river inundations, it is proposed to adopt a similar considerate and politic plan of action; and to relieve immediate distress, among the working people it is suggested to es tablish depots of provisions at points convenient to the districts in which the greatest want pre vails, General Gillem advises that some Such steps should be taken and acted on without de lay. General Gillem, in a conversation with your correapondent to-night, stated that the pre sent distress, in his °judgment, was confined to the alluvial counties of Mississippi, where the planters had.all of their agricultural implements swept away, by the overflowing. lie admits there is a rising of the negroes, but not of a political character, the'scope of the insurrection ern ,bracing nothing more than the slaughter of 'pigs and poultry. The conapiracy against.hogs is espe cially sanguinary, numbers..of them being nightly waylaid, to furnish pork trappers for the hungry .darklea. Necessity not being cognizant of law, And neither work norfood being within conve nient reach of the negroes; this method of satis fying nature's longings 'is considered justifiable by the friends of the negroes. • General Gillem received assurances from the Frealdent and Gen erg Grant that. whatever , schemes he adopted to give immediate'rellef to the sufferers in, the South' would receive their, approbation. $1,022,162 76 The, Ababbt Slaughter. jyrom the Butrabi Dewier; December 27.1 The Buffalo and Erie Company has a man at .
