THE "OLD OA 5" CEMETERY Is situated on the Township Lino Road., at the intersect tion of Nicetowu lane, and embraces Siserx-rave must of romantically beautiful land. It fa the estate known for many years as "Old Oaks," late the country seat of John Tucker, Eeq. The name is taken from the great number and unusual thrift and beauty of the majestic "Old Oak" trees now growing on the property, and which lend to It a charm and appearance of permanency peculiarly in harmony with the purposes to which the ground is dedicated. No better selection of a location for a cemetery could have been made. All the advantages possessed by each of the other cemeteries are combined in this. It is cen tral in eituation.and easily accoesible by good roads from all directions: it is perfectly convenient to and is but a abort distance from Germantown. Manayank, Nicatown. Frankford and Bridesburg, and can be reached from all parts of the city of Philadelphia by means of Broad street, which is now the most attractive and command ing in appearance of any avenue, not only in this city but in the whole country, and which le free from those interruptions and delays which render private travel on snout of onr highways not only disagreeable but often dangerous. It extends for long distances on both Nicetown lane and Township Line road, and will have three main and orna mental gatewaye, so as to afford facilities for ingress and egress from all direction's. and the drives through the place and all the approaches to it are so arranged that its embellishments and superior advantages cannot fall to be at once seen and appreciated by the visitor. It is the intention of the proprietors to make "Old Oaks" the most beautiful Cemetery In America, and the artid ctal decorations the lakes, drives, walks and horticultu ral ornamentation, will give it an appearance =Bur passed by any other ever borough!, to public notice, and will tend to allay the feeling of gloom often caused by the sombre and funereal aspect eo prevalent in v.:ornateness generally. The Buildings on the property are well-known as the most costly and handsome ever erected by private capitaL The Mansion will be used in part as a .Chapel, and the aurroue dings beautified in keeping withs the character of the place; in a word, the Proprietors wish to do away with the feeling of repulsiveness so often associated with Graveyards and Charnel Houses, and hold out every in ducement to the friends and relatives of the departed, to visit the grounds which contain relics so precious to them. The "Old Oaks" will be made an object of Interest to strangers, as well as residents of Philadelphia, and while the solemnity of the scene will not be vio,a ee, yet the impression will be conveyed, that death is a mere saps. ration,and that those who have fought "life's battle." are only resting from their labors. and are always kept alive in the memory of their survivors. The grounds will be open to Visitors at all hours dur ing the day. The office of the Company is at No. 413 Chestnut street, Room No. 1, where maps and plans of the Cemetery can be seen applications made for lots, and any desired information given. 0c24-rp et* ner HALL YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO eiatlon No. 1210 Chestnut street The Classes for Instruction for 186d-9 will be organized the first week in November, as follows: Monday Evening, Penmanship, from 7 to 8 o'clock, by Prof .

Gardens—The Hot•houses at La Illtiette—Great ral filatinfactories—The !span's& Eliot House—The Credit flobiller Law Suit —A Illeavy Compromise—the Veloci pede Mania. (Correspondence of the Pllladolpkta gvanlna Banatind PARIS, Friday, Oct. 16, 1868.—A. summer, such as Europe has not experienced for many years, seems to bit last drawing to a close, and our fashionable population is at last slowly and re luctantly returning to winter quarters. Until within the last two days, a fresh burst of heat and sunshine seemed almost to early , 118 back from the end to the beginning of Au tumn,and such per sons as had returned to town began to regret their prempture movements. But a sudden changein the wind reminded us that cold w:other was not far off, and speedily stripped the (fees in our avenues of the few vestiges which still hung upon them of their summer clothing. Another reminder of the apprOach of "winter and cold weather" is the long trein of carts and trucks which may at this season be constantly seen traversing the streets of Paris, and all wending their way in the direction of the Bois do Bologne, laden with the more delicate 'description of plants and shrubs with which the luxurious taste of our Prefect, Baron Ilaussmann loves to deck what ho may almost call "his" capital, for it is his creation. The scale on which this species of civic decoration is now carried on by the Ville de Paris is gigantic, and the mode of conducting it has been system atized in that admirable manner for which French administrative capacity is so celebrated. The Ville de Paris is its own gardener, horticul turist and grower of every species of plant, and all is done with the style and magnificence for which the Prefect is famous. No stranger should be in POlll3 without visiting the establishment when•all this vegetable nurture and production is carri/d on. It is situated at Passy, in what was once the Royal Chateau of La Patette, and may wet; be called one of the chief curiosi ties of New Pqris. There, over a space c f nearly twenty acres Is spread the most mag nificent horticultural establishment perhaps in the world. A visit to it at this season is especi ally Interesting, because you see it In full action, and can observe the special uses to which it is appropriated. There are more than twenty hot houses spread through the grounds for the winter preservation of the more delicate plants, which are placed out to adorn the new parks, squares and avenues during the spring and summer. One of these, appropriated to palm trees, bananas and other exotic, is of vast dimensions. and the whole afford a space, I was told, of more than ten thousand square yards. Then follows a magnificent conservatory for tree-camellas, then another containing more than 300 varieties of the same plant in pots ; then another still larger, filled with myriads of plants, requiring only a mean temperature. But perhaps the greatest curiosity of all is the immense " toning house "—a regular floral and horticultural manu factory, which never ceases producing, winter or summer, and turns out hundreds of thousands of plants yearly of every description. The construc tion of this hot-house Is moat peculiar and corn- plicated, and well worthy, I should think, of the attention and study of any one interested in hor iieniture, either for private or public purposes. But the matter is too technical for us me attempt a description of it here. In another part of the grounds may be seen a vast cellar, more than 2,000 yards square, where in are laid up for the winter the half-a-million of tuberculous roots, destined to form the superb ra‘i:Bl:/.4, or clumps of flowers, which every visitor must have so often stood to admire in the gar tic us of the Champs Elysegs,or the Park de Mon ceau,or the numerous other spots now devoted In Paris to floral embellishment. Besides all the above there is a vast sort of "laboratory" devoted to the confection of the peculiar mixtures of earth best adapted to every kind of plant, and w Iv.re all the operations of repotting take place. Finally, I may remark that the establishment is provided with twenty two apparatuses for supplying hot water, and two powerful caloriPres for supplying hot air to this multitude of green-houses and couservato rks. I bare allowed the aspect of the season and the sour•enirs of a most interesting visit to La Muettt to carry me much further than I had intended, to the complete forgetfulness of Spanish Revolutions and other political "hot-houses" of a very differ ent description from the above. Queen Isabella is certainly one of those people who have made their houses too' hot to hold them. By general assent, she has not a friend left in the world— unless It be the Emperor Napoleon and the Pope: and of these, the latter is unable to help her, and the former is certain to go on in his usual way, "letting I dare not wait upon I would," until he has effected nothing but to secure for himself the of the Spanish people and their new government. Thus far Napoleon's Spanish pol icy has answered no other purpose than to show that he would gladly see the revolutionary leaders come to grief by quarreling among them selves. And, perhaps, with such a people as the Spaniards, ho could not have adopted a surer course for binding them to each other! The Court leaves Biarritz to-morrow for St. Cloud, where a ministerial council is announced for Sun day next, when some new blunder will per haps be concocted by this greatest of political "failures." The great law case which has attracted so much attention in banking and commercial circles, both in the United States and England, between the new shareholders of the once lama's Credit Mobilier and the acting Directors of the same establishment, has, I believe, been brought to an arrangement by a compromise. The chief managers of the Credit Mob'lier, It will be re membered—the Messrs. Pereire Brothers, and others..-obts►lned leave of the Govermbent to Issue, and did issue, sixty million francs of new Shares in their great credit establishment; and within some six months of their having done so the bubble burst, and the Society was found to be in a condition of hopeless insolvency. The pro- ceeding was a most shameful one, and the credit of the government was almost as seriously in volved and compromised in it as that of the Messrs. Pereire themselves, for the public voice declared openly that the imperial government had connived at the transaction, in order to assist such ardent partisans of the Empire and its finan cial system as the above individuals had always shown themielves to be. Enconraged by this feeling, some of the new shareholders who had been thus entrapped into buying worthless paper, boldly sued the Directors as personally lia ble, , before the Tribunal._.of Commerce, and that Court; in an elaborate and most carefully worded judgment, condemned the Directors to refund. the whole sixty millions to the defrauded shareholders, on the_ground_that the former_were fully cognizant Ct the insolvency of the COMpany at the time the new issue was made, and that the entire transaction was in fact an enormous swindle. The well-known political economist, M. Michel Chevalier, was included in this sweeping judg ment. The defendants appealed, and succeeded, to a certain extent. In getting the judgment of the Court below modified, so as to be less sweep ing in its effects; and M. Michel Chevalier and one or two others were excepted, as having been in reality non-cognizant of the insolvency of the Credit Mobiller. It is on this latter judgment that a compromise has, I underatand,been effected; but on pretty severe terms, the culpable Directors hav ing agreed to refund to the shareholders a sum of thirty-five millions of francs. The lesson, how ever, will, I trust, piove a good one, and the de cision of the French Courts be upheld elsewhere and verve as a warning against such practices generally. The velocipede mania is carried now to such "lengths" in France, thatpractitioners of the new locomotive system refuse to confine themselves to mere exhibitions in the streets, and boldly launch out and undertake actual journeys on this new Bucephalus. Four gentlemen, says a pro vincial journal in the Gartho, arrivedin our town (Mans) the other day,on the velocipedes,and "de scended," that is "put up," or "got off," at the HiAel do France. They had come all the way from Tronvillo, via Paris, in four days, and were bound for Bordeaux. They seemed mno way fa tigued, adds the journal, by their last day's work of fifty miles, but "having greased their wheels," started afresh next morning. ENGLAND. an English View of Grant's Election. [From the London Morning Star, Oct. 17.3 The question to be decided next month is purely imperial, as opposed to the many local questions and phases of political feeling which more or less enter into the decision of all State elections. The people at large will be called on to say whether they prefer the sagacious soldier who brought the war to a victorious termination or the plotting politician whose sympathies were with the rebels and whose policy would be directed to the strengthening of that party in power which is daily plunging the South deeper and deeper into anarchy. Some of the North ern politicians,even of the Republican party,have been hoping against hope that the beaten slave holders would understand the logic of events and cease to struggle for that unjust supremacy' over the colored race which terminated with slavery. They were willing to forget the issues of the war, to welcome back the representatives of Southern constitnences, and to discuss with them the re maining subjects of controversy on the old ground of equality under Vit constitution. The history of President JOlihson's administration has shown, however, that the Southern politicians are incorrigible, that they cannot be entrusted with the management of affairs apart from the supervision of the central government,that wher ever they have the power they will make the legislation of Congress of no effect, and that in order to get power they will not scruple to have resort to bloodshed and terror. fitioald Seymour be elected President the four years of hls term would be used by the South for the purpose of endeavoring to recover its old ascendancy, and only a miracle could prevent the civil war from breaking out with greater bitterness than before. The action of the Georgia House of Legislature in turning out all the legally elected representa tives who were tinged with negro blood, is a spe cimen of the insolent, vindictive and overbearing spirit of these well-beaten but still unrepentant elaveholders. SPAIN. Revolutionary News—The Expulsion 01 the Jesuits. Subjoined is the text of the Ministerial order es pelting the Jesuits from Spain: '•Dinortm, Oct. 12.—1 decree the suppression throughout the Peninsula and the adjacent islands of the regular Order called Company of Jesus. All the colleges and training-schools for priests shall be closed in three days, and the temporali ties taken possessiox of by persons ap pointed by .the authorities of the provinces in which these establishments are situated. In this latter measure will be included all the property and effects of the Order, movable and unmovable, buileings and revenues, which shall form part of the national wealth in conformity with the provision of the Royal Decree of the 4th of July, 1835. Tae members of the company rhall no longer be able to meet as a body or a community, to wear the dress of the Order, nor mbe in any way answerable to the superiors of the body existing in or out of Spain Those not ordained as priests shall remain entirely subjected to ordinary civil jurisdiction. I charge the Archbishops, Bishops, and all those who exercise ecclesiastical or civil authority, to aid each in what concerns him, the faithful exe cution of the present enactment, In conformity with the Pragmatic Sanction of the 2d Apri1,1767, and the Brief of his Holiness of the 21st Ja1y,1773. "A_NTONIO ROMERO ORTIZ, ".Minister of Grace and Justice." Speaking of this document, a correspondent rays: " The decree has been received with very gen eral favor. All the papers warmly approve of the act, and I have yet to hear a person express any disapprobation of the measures taken by the gov ernment to effectually remove a great evil to the State and society. Ido not mean to say that there is not a considerable party in the country who will regard the act as impious and cruel, and .one that will surely bring down long and terrible punishment on the heads of the chief movers in the scheme. But the opinions of such people will have no ef fect on the Ministry, who will carry opt their de signs in spite of obstacles the Church may at tempt to raise up before them. Many of the Jesuits detected the rising of the storm and made off. Where they will all settle is a question; bat they will doubtless find an asylum in France, where they can watch the future course of events and be on hand to avail themselves of the change in the current of public opinion, should it ever come." The German Arctic Expedition, The Germania, with the German Arctic Expe dition on board, has recently cast anchor before Bremen. Although prevented by solid masses of ico from approaching Greenland or Gil!island, both of which they subsequently tried, the expe dition boasts of having penetrated to the highest degree of northern latitude ever reached by ship. They first endeavored to effect a landing on the eastern shore of Greenland. Be tween July 24 and August 10 three at tempts were made to reach the coast, clearly visible in the distance, but in vain. The first at 75.34 deg. N. lat. and 12 deg. W. long.; the second at 74X deg. N. lat. and 14 deg. W. long.; the third at 73 deg. 23 min. N. lat., when they ac tually got up as far as 173 C, deg. W. long. But even in this last instance, which seemed to pro mise so well, further progress was eventually rendered impracticable by an ice field 40 feet thick. As the reader will perceive, though at each successive attempt they were driven further from the north, yet they continued making way to the west, although, alas! not far enough. Then, giving it up as a bad job, atd making for Spitsbergen, they en tered Hinlopen Strait, sighted Gillisland from Thumb Point, but by their old enemy, the ice, were obliged to turn back at Cape Torrell. It was while sailing north of Spitsbergen that they made the highest latitude ever attained, arriving at 81. degrees 5 minutes when at 16 degrees east longitude. The expedition, which found the sea blocked up even more completely than is ordinarily the case, is said to have• recti fied the charts in many points, and made, other observations, on which a detailed report will be published. There is a prospect of its being re peated next year. Malty shipowners am/scientific men taltlng an earnest in the frigid project, it is not impossible that voluntary contributions suf- ficient to cover the moderateexpense incurred in these 'Getman voyages will be forthcoming again. OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY Threatened Eruption of Mona* vein* (From the Liverpool Day Courier. Oct. 16.] If the renewed activity of' Mount Vesuvius should be foUoWed by an eruption, as the present appearance of matters would scent to threaten, the circumstances will indicate a condition of the volcano differing wholly from anythhig which has been observed for the past eighteen centuries. It has happened during the last two hundred years that the mountain has been in eruption twice during the course of a few months,. but the occurrence of three eruptions in the coarse of a year is altogether unprecedented. If we trace the history of the moun tain from the period of the great outbreak of 79 A.'D., we shall recognize, amid a considerable , amount of irregularity, a gradual increase in the rapidity with which the eruptions of the volcano have followed each other. Nor has the increase In the number of eruptions • been in any way attended by a decrease in their intensity. On the contrary, the eruptions of 1779, 1793 and 1822 have been as violent as any which the moan lain has given vent to during the whole period which elapsed since the eruption of 79. The eruption which took place last winter was also a'remarkably violent and persistent outburst Enormous masses of red-hot stone and rock were hurled forth for days together, and at night the intensity of the fire which was raging within the bowels of the disturbed mountain was indicated by the resplendent whiteness of the vast canopy of vapor which overhung Vesuvius. Since that time Vesuvius can hardly be said to have rested. Last June the mountain was again in active eruption. Gradually the violence of the disturb ance increased until the beginning. of July, but the mountain did not cease to project stones and cinders until the end of August. Our readers will doubtless remember that we indicated at that time the apparent connection between the occur rence of an earthquake at Gibraltar with the movements of the disturbed mountain. Since then other earthquakes have occurred in the South of Europe, a circumstance which we cannot but consider confirmatory of the views we expressed at that time. It will be noticed that these disturbances have taken place while the mountain has been comparatively at rest. Now that the volcano is again in action, and a violent eruption apparently about to break forth, we may look for a cessation of earthquakes in the Mediterranean volcanic district. It is worthy of note that the earthquake which shook the British isles on the 13th of August, 1816, seems to have been associated with the eruption of Vesuvius, which occurred within a few days of the same date. Prince Salm, the friend and adjutant of the late Emperor Maximilian, who was kept in a Mexi can prison for some ime after the death of his master, and has but recently returned to Europe, is about to publish his adventures. The wish expressed in the late Emperor's testament, that he should also divulge the documents bearing upon Ids acceptance of the crown, he will be un able to fulfill. Some of these documents are at Vienna, and in accordance with a promise by the Anal - tan to the French Emperor, cannot now be revealed; others, placed by the Empress Char lotte in the safe-keeping of the Pope, are as un likely to see the light, while Rome remains on amicable terms with Paris. THE CIIII&N INSURRECTION. The Revolutionary Junta in Cuba have issued the following Somme ry of the Progress OR the Hero Havays, Oct. 23, 1868. Bayamo, Holguin, attar*, Las Tunas, Yarn, and Jiguani, all in the Eastern Department., are in insurrection against the government. The government has sent ibur battalions of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, and a field battery to these points. The revolu• tionists have divided themselves into small bands with the view to carry on a guerilla war until their forces arc strong enough to cope with the Spanish troops with a fair prospect of success. A considerable band is stationed in the neighbor hood of Santiago do Cuba, another near Puerto Principe. The revolutionists have burnt several plantations, taking the negroes with them as auxiliaries. In several skirmishes with the Spanish troops the ereolea, both whites and blacks, have naught bravely, causing heavy loss to the Spaniards. The Cubans all over the Island are enthusiastic, but are in want of arms. sev eral Cubans have been arrested in Havana on sus picion; they are confined in Moro Castle. In the parish of Jesus-Maria, 40 negrods were arrested last night for having arms in•their possession. oe-r. 24—at 9A. M.—Trustworthy information just received states that Aguilera, chief of the revolutionary band, has with him 4,000 whites tied 6,000 negroes. The artillery sent from this city has stuck in the mud. Heavy rains have tante in the Eastern Department. The revolu tionists have lull sway in a large section of coun try. The Captain-General is hurrying forward ft cob troops in all haste. One of the Spanish mail steamers has just been chartered to carry troop- the scene of action. Great enthusiasm and confidence prevail among the Cubans. If the measure should be come necessary, there is a fixed determination to declare immediate emancipation and call on the negroes to arm against the Spaniards. TUE REVOLUTIONARY JUNTA, In session in the city of Havana, the 24th day of October, 1868. Apprehended fluting of the Slaves. A Havana correspondent of the New York I,irrald says: -For the past twenty-four hours Havana has been the subject of a 'scare,' calculated to satis fy the most ardent admirer of excitement. In cendictry documents have been circulated through the city during the past week addressed to the slaves and calling upon them 'now or never to be fiee.' By some means it became rumored that last night was the time designated for the rising, and so general was the credence attached to it that the greatest agitation pre vailed. The government (doubtless in view of the restlessness of the public mind, for it Is barely possible that such a rising was contem plateo), held the troops in readiness at their re spective quarters, having ordered all detailed and detached officers and men to their commands. A meeting of the officers of the volunteer corps took place, yesterday afternoon, which added to and intensified the excitement. Everybody with sufficient money rushed to the stores to pur chase pistols, until as evening came on the stock was exhausted and none could be obtained at any price. Several inexperienced persons, while candling their weapons in preparation for the expected encounter with the dark legions of Af rica, shot themselves in the fingers or hands and were hurried off to the hospital, sans honor, sans glory, sans everything. As the night wore on expectation was on tip top, and everywhere was seen evidences of anti cipated trouble; the piazzas were not lighted. the moon shone brightly, there would be no music. At a quarter before eight the band marched out with the escort as usual. A number of rockets were seen going up over the city. They indicated the way to the circus, and stern eyes glanced at weapons grasped in hands as firm as a constitu tional trembling would permit. "At ton it came on to rain, which dampened expectation somewhat. Muscles began to relax and confidence in the ability of the authorities to preserve order increased rapidly. Most of the braves retired to court 'the balmy' with their pistols under their bolsters. They were not dis turbed, and the sun rose on a city drenched with rain and was greeted with the monotonous, song of the black 'stevedores as they peacefully raised the merchandise from the holds of the vessels in the harbor. In view of the very quiet night Pis; passed this fright seems ridiculous, yet it is car taro that the Most serious fears were enter tamed."' ' ' . Nows.

The Havana Diario•of October 23 has the fol lowing : " We do not know who, how many or with what object have undertaken to disseminate alarming and absurd rumors, bat we do know that yesterday there was circulated the statement that the peace of this capital was threatened, and also was reported, with a thousand details, the extraordinary measures which the authorities bad adopted to hinder or repress any disorder. We have informed ourselves with the greatest interest concerning whatever relates to this un easiness, and we know positively that the authorities have neither received any notice which could inspire fear, nor have they, in consequence, adopted those extra ordinary measures that are referred to on all sides. Yesterday, as to-day, the authorities and their subordinates have been watchful to maintain the public tranquillity, and are continuing the same. In compliance with their most sacred duty; but we repeat that they have not entertained any fears or made use of extraordinary measures. We say this to tranquillize the public mind, de siring to add at the same time that all honorable citizens are resolved, gathering themselves around the superior authority and uniting themselves with the public force to put down any aggression, coming from wherever it may, or in whatever form. Words do not darken their minds nor promises seduce them, and if there is a secret point which incites to evil, there should be a lawful one which main tains whatever is good and be the constant de fender of order. We have said, and we repeat that this is no time to be silent, and if silence was yesterday suspicions. to-morrow it may be, a crime. We were Spaniards a year since and will continue to be Spaniards. The island of Cuba will be an integral tart of Spain as it is to-day. We hope the best for our common country, the best for the territory which we inhabit, but pre serving now and always the national integrity, and being Spaniards, always Spaniards." THEATRES.
