Advertisers will please send their tavors early in the forenoon. If Philadelphia moves slowly in some o her . reforms and improvements, still she moves,and yesterday a grand move was made in the ;linage rof the - hill,by both branches of Councils, for , the erection. of our much-needed public buildings on Independence Square. For years Test, :the Evganos Burnam has labored in behalf of this movement,and •con tinual‘dropping‘has at last worn away the atones of prejudice and old fogeyism, and , Councils have crowned their year's work by an , acCwhich will be of incalculable benefit to the pity. The erection of the public buildings of 'Philadelphia on the Walnut street front of independence , Square has been advocated too lOrg and too thoroughly to need any demonstration of its necessity and its wisdom now. The measure, as adopted by Councils, and as it will undoubtedly meet the approval oflisyorlteidichael, , , is not a half-way one. L comprehends, not ; only the erection of suitablehuildings, but also the removal of tbe•unsuitable ones that now disfigure the spare, Independence Hall Is to be relieved from its appended wings, and is to stand, as it should, 'Woe in its glory," on Chestnut -street; and that architectural abomination, the new •Court-House, the laughing-stock of strangers and the shame of citizens, is to be swept away in the general demolition. Now there are two grand principles dud must be taken up by the Commission, if they wish the support and approval of the .00mmunity. The new public buildings must net be made an architectural botch, and they must not be made a political job. The fright ful blunders that have been made all over the tilnited States, in erecting public buildings, • stand as so many beacon-lights to warn us off from running into the same absurdities • and failures; while the still more frightful • extraysgances which have drained the treasuries of. New York to enrich those who have organized the erection of public build-- , ings into gigantic jobs, give us ample lessons as to what we may expect, unless the Com - 'Omission shall prove itself worthy of being en , I trusted with this important responsi bility. The gentlemen who have 'been named on the Commission, in • addition to the ez .officio members, are all •substantial, practical business men, who are , likely to apply common-sense principles to t , " the discharge of this duty, and who will do Itheir best to give us such a -structure as will j -combine with economy and suitability, such Jarobiteetural taste as will make the new buildings a credit to Philadelphia. A. fine pile of public buildings, set fairly back from Walnut street, and not perched up in the air ty the tiresome flights of steps that disfigure rileitine Court-House of Lancaster and other public buildings, will add greatly to the or xiamentation of the city; while a failure, .either in external design or in interior fitness ` for its--uses will make it an eye-sore for all - ,coming• generations. We heartily congratulate Councils , m 1 the weemplishment of this good work, so far as grey are concerned, and we congratulate the ccanmsulity at-targe that we are to have the Government of Philadelphia decently pro vided d'or at-last. I 's • •'EME.OZINILGUS NUISANCE. j' proposition to revive the old omnibus nuisance an Broad street is, it now appears, •as distasteful to .the residents of that fine avenue aßgitis to the thousands who desire to see the street saved for the purpose of a a public drive. The idea has been indus triously circulated that this resurrection of the old unisaneuis advocated by the property owners and householders of North Broad street, an d 'we were-led into the same error by the way in which the movement has been stated by those interested in its success. We .are assured that no such wish is entertained try the residents of Broad street, and even if ;it were, it should not be indulged. Within a it men , few months the remaining railroad .sracke are to be removed from Broad street, And then there will be seen the cpmmence ` 7 3;rxtent of those improvements that will soon • . make it the finest, as it is the longest, street 'in Amerkca. To re-introduce the stupid old tonvey.encee that have been rejected for •,L4 put, at thia . late day; is to take a back 4 4 . 1 ,'Ilirstrd step for which there is no excuse and ich ehauld not be tolerated by a comma y which is now showing so many evi .o.4eitica of publie-epirited progress. ft.% 4 , It ought to be an awful thing for Philadel r pMans to cave to face a frowning New York World.

One of its most pious writers ; whore. 'Oliva - roue and chastelove for the , female sex seems to have led him to be - a special champion of a wretched child-niurdereis in this city, has determined,to take us all in hand, and re form us. HaTing slandered and abused all our virtuous women and men, in his re ports and editorials concernhig this convict, he now proposes - to try and elevate - them to the New York standard of purity and intelli gence, and as a means for this end, he will establish here a Philadelphia Wor/d/ It seems that he considers this community wholly benighted' because it has no news paper—that is no World newspaper. True, there are certain publications here, that have reacheffthe dignity of being able to excite his wrath. But he ecornfully refuses to name them. He only indicates them by withering innuendo; and he tries to terrify their proprietors out of all propriety, by threatening to extinguish them with a World! There would be a certain reciprocity in this, for the 'New York com munity wee indebted to Philadelphia for lay ing the fOunditions of its own World. True, the service was not great or valuable. but it ought not to be forgotten. Now. if New York brains and capital come here to evan gelize Philadelphia according to the system of the World, they ought to receive a hearty welcome, and the Burxrcue for one will - give it. But how about the Age, which b a re cegnizell and able orgart of the'party that the World supports satlthat•supportathe World on its Atlantine shoulders? How about that lively little Democrat,the Evening Herald? How, about the young and vigorous little Gkbe, which has already, before going once areand its orbit, come into collision with the World? Is there room in this little sphere of .Philadelphia -for a. Wield EU3 Well in -a Globe? _Would' not one be In danger Of swallowing up the other? The Globe is al ready justly indignant at being accused of taking anything, anything out of the World, and if the World should try to establish itself here and get pitched into by the Globe, there might be a c,onvalsion of nature that would even make the people of the Quaker city to quake. But a new World might be a boon, and two boons of the kind— one for New York and, one for Philadelphia—would go far towards perfect ing human civilization and refinement. The Philadelphia World would, however, be ex pected to keep a close watch aver New York. and it would have especially to send reporter; to the Tombs and to Blaukwell's Island, to hunt up- interesting murderesses, who might be made objects for'public fireetingsin Philo deltilia.' The world at large, like Alexander (the Great, not the Collector), is sighing for more Worlds, end if our sweet-tempered New York contemporary should come on a carpet-bagging expedition to Philadelphia, and give us a special World of our own, to be conducted - in the manner indicated, the BULLETIN at least will give it a good notice and help it adong in every way possible: Vice-Presidenitolfax is an little known, personally, to our citizens, that we are parti cularly, glad to announce the brief visit which be makes to Philadelphia to-day. Mr. Col fax was invited . to meet our people on several occasions, during the fall campaign, but was prevented from doing so by his numerous eagagements. He has now accepted an 4n vitation from the Union League and will ar rive in the city this evening, accompanied by Mrs. Colfax. The Vice-President elect dines' to-morrow evening at the Union League, and will receive the members of the League at large, at nine o'clock. We are not advised of the length of Mr. Colfax's stay in Phila delphia, but presume that his public duties will make it too short to permit him to give our citizens generally the opportunity, which they so much desire, to meet one who-is held in such high esteem by them, and to whose elevation to the Vice-Presidency they so largely contributed. e b 9 llluyvotter Collection—Final Side To-night.

We repeat, the gallery which is on final exhi bition to-day, and will be distributed to-night, is of a much higher quality of art. It contains amongst others the following undoubtedly good pictures: Schlesinger, "The First Prize," No. 108; a jranc-tireur, having won a gilt cup at the mark, bursts in to his delighted wife and children, •fiourishing the prize, and looking deliriously happy and very handsome in his hunting dress; a wonderful gust of life sweeps all through this composition.

No. 116, do Noter and Col, " Preparing for Christmas," a large group of still life, too gaudy, but still Imposing; one ob ject, a plucked turkey, is almost more natural than nature.

Dec. 18.—The following is a portion of the racesrks of Judge Woodward. -of - Pennsylvania, made yesterday on 'Math= Menem. 'lll the WI of the q .__ 1838 st political contest clime on between David Porter e l the Democratic noldinatef for Governor of Pennsylvania, end Governor Hitler, who was up for re-election on the Amtletsserde ticket. Mr. Stevens did his utmost for Ritter. He brought into fail play notonly all his great resources of eloquence, wit and sarcasm, but, as Canal Commissioner, having the touted of considerable patronage, he also Wart gurated a system of colonization for political effect. which politicians have improved upon and practiced more or less ever since. Porter beat Ritter-- d e 11338 s and then Mr. Stemma -nude the capital mistake of Ms life in determining to treat the election as if it had trot oak:med. This brought on the "Buckshot war." That disturbance made no strain upon our politi cal institutions.. Indeed it is doubttni if it excited as much attention from the people of the other States as its importance demanded; but abroad it was looked upon as a portentous event. The late Mr. Dallas, our then Minliter at the Court of St. Petersburg, told me he was annoyed by daily notes from the whole diplomatic circle, anxiously inquiring for the news from-Bards burg, while his correspondents at home treated the subject as too Insignificant to allude to; and therefore be had no information to comma nieate. Bat the "Buck Shot War," if it wrought no great political revolution, took Mr. Stevens out of political, life for many years. lie removed to the city of Lancaster and addressed himself, with great ability and sueeess, to the practice of his profes sion. It was haY privilege to know mach of him as a lawyer, and it affords me far more pleasure to contemplate his professional than his political career. But, Mr. Speaker. I have said enough to in dicate the high regard in which the deceased was held as a lawyer in Pennsylvania. Differ ing from him tote coelo in politics and religion, I cannot think that the final influence of bis great talents upon the public mind was salutary, nor do I think pos terity, to whom the arbitrament belongs, will rank him as a benefactor of his race. But, nevertheless, there was much in him to ad mire. His honesty and directness of purpose: his courage; his scorn and contempt for the low arta of political tricksters; his generosity to the poor, for his band and his heart were as . ' open as the day, to them ; his learning; his eloonence; his temperance, his industry; his firth will; his self-poise;—these were the qualities that constituted his-great ness and his excellence, and if his fame outlasts the ago in which he lived, it will be because it is built on these loan lindens. "De mot-lois nit nisi bonurn." Dr. Johnson thought thatfor bosom :we should reed m reru I ' approve __the criticism, and I esteem it high praise of Mr. Stevens, that it can be said of him that he so posed through life, that his name can endure--the application of the maxim even in its approved reading." , The Canal Acenria 4 %Llamas of Da- Idea: especial Destrafeh lathe Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,. ViTeenisterses, Dec 18.—Several inaccuracies having beta made id the published statements shout the negotiations for the right of way for the Isthmus of Darien canal the following facts will be found interesting: The negotiations have not been condected here, but at Begets. 'between the United States Minis ter and the Colombian Government. There have been two ects of negotiations pending: First— Tbe company 'brined to dig thescanal applied in proper form to the Colombian Government for concession of the right way. Second—The United States interested itself in behalf of this Company, and in order to secure the establish ment of atanal, and to Protect it, made negotia tions for a treaty similar to the one recently signed between Nicaragua and the United States. Notwitbstar,ding the good intentions manifested by the Colombian Government, the negotiations have not, from some unexplained cause, made as much progress as our Seeretary of State desired. and tins condition of affairs decided him to send Caleb Cushing , to Bogota „with the necessary power to effect an ; early settlement of , the entire , question. • , The wi3athei very pleasant here this morning and the ice is , fast disappearing.
