Evening Bulletin.] WAWHINGTON January 1. 1869.—New Year's day was ushered in this morning with a heavy, driving northeast rain -storm, which rendered. out-door locomotion extremely disagreeable. I be great centre of attraction was the reception at the Executive Mansion, which, according to Custom, Is attended by the foreign diplomatic corps, in full court costUme, and officers of the : and tavY, which is really the great feature or the occasion. To-day thediplomats were oat Io force, sptelal pairs having been taiten try Mr, t ward to secure a large attendance; and every env Gf the corps residing , la Virashlngton,except ;be Minister from the Netherlands, was in attend :l cc.

The diplomats were wig IlVbitti by Secretary Seward, who Introduced tiara( Gerolt. of :the Prussian ligation. as the ~ I dest Minister resident in Washington. ite -an followed by the others, who were sums -well,' presented to the President. Their cos tumer were of the most elegant and costly de net iption, their coats being almost covered with heavy gold embroidery, shall, ribbons, and de cor atIIDDI3 of honor received in their native coun tries Many of the diplomats were accompanied uy the ladies of their family, and their rich and elegant costumes were greatly admired. ILe President was rimmed in a plain black suit, flock coat; pants and vest, and wore pearl- Colort d kid gloves. The visitors were introduced ro him by Marshal Gooding, and after saluting Lim, they were next introduced by Gen. 'bitchier to his daughters, bins. Btonver , and Mrs. Patter eon, who stood a short distance in the rear. The reeeptinn took place brae Bine Room, ~t,d the visitors - passcd from thence Into the Green boom, and Into the East Room, where they W u ulgt d .1u prom ettadl ug.

Butler was afterwards prestrited to the Pre sidenee daughtere,who received him with marked attention, and after chatting with them a few nannies, ho withdrew without , speaking to any ewe. Hts visit has caused a great deal of specn iution, but his friends declare there is nothing it we In it than a visit of ceremony—that he de bited to pay, a proper respect to the office, and not to the one who fills it. Whatever may bo his motives, the act has attracted a great deal of nttantiGn, on account of the relations which lirtt d between the parties during the impeach ment trial. likyoud these incidents, very little of Interest tran spirt d.

DISCRIMIN4iI4ti OF TAXES The St4tne of Wind Mill /eland COURT OF COIIRION tusAs.--Judge Aillema this rrinrning'deilvered th, follcivring r Opinion : George N. Tatham vs, the City of Ptilladel pbia.—The plaintiff appealed from the decision. of tbe'Board of Revision of Taxes, upon a amid- Beaton of an armament of real' estate, better part of 'Wind Milt Oland, in the Fifth Ward of the city of Philadelphia.' Tbe property of the viaintiff , Was assessed at 6100,000, at full city rate bf taxation, and by the Board of Revision was classifiql • and rated att loiter/as , , , _ , Coal wharves extending alengthe eastern' front of the island, and so much of the Property as is wed for commercial purpcuses, at full city rate of tax. _ raluation, sBo.ooo.l3altmce of said property helvg full five acres of land used for agricultural put poses, at rural rates. - Valuation, $20,000. Front th is decialon of 'the Roan' of Revision the plaintiff aripeals to the Couxt of Common Piear,tand claims that the entire property should be rated as rural. The apk:eal Is taken under the act of 1865, establlshbag the Board'of 'Revision; P. L. 820. The 39thilection of July 2, 1854, Pimph. L. 42, direcerthe City "Councils to diteriminate in lay ing the City taxes, so as not to impose on the rural portions the expenses whichtelong to the built-up portions of the city exclusively. • The assessors were required to return what properties are within tigrictiltural or rural sec tions not having the benefit of watchhig, lighting and other expenditures for perposes exclusive'' , belonging, to the built portions of the city, and all lauds within agricultural or rural districts, used for the purpose of cultivation or farming, shall be assessed at farm lods. It !111 In Batt chat hot Ali Dfoperttea which are need for agricultural purposes were to be assessed as farm land, but Each only as are vvitida agri cultural or rural atctious not having the benefit of watch and light,&c. A lot or square of ground in the bnilt portions of the city, though used for agricultural or farming purposes, would not be entitled to be rated as farm laid because It ould have the benefit of watching, lighting and other expenditures, exclusively belonglog to the builtportion"' of the city, and because such lot would not be witiiin an agricultural or rural dia -1 trier. Though cultivated as a farm, it would still not be rural, in the meaning of the term, which is used to dettignato that which pertains to the country, as distinguished from city or town. The word rural, therefore, has given to it by the act a clearly defined slgnification. It applies to property which le in fact agricultural, as op posed to built portons of the city, or it mast be within the farm lands of Plailadelphia,though not used for farming purposes. And by the act of Aprll 21, 1865, beeLlon 13; P. 267, Councils are directed not to impose taxes upon the rural por tioms of the city for police and watchmen, for lighting, 'saving and cleansing streets. Tata , act dots not in any way alter the definition of what constirdea the rural portion of the city con tained in the act of 1854: it only prescribes the rate and purposes for which it may be taxed. • The act of May 11.1854, P. L. 268, Beet 6,pro vides that property used ler agricultural pur poses shall be returned and tnxed. 813 rural prop erty; and 'the-act of March 24, 1868, P. L, 444, imposes on the Board of Revision the duty of classifying the real estate, Ito as to discriminate tween the rural, end belly-apt pordons . oflhe city, and certify to Councils the valuations of— brat, the built-up portions; second, of the rural suburban property; third, of lands used for arming and agricultural purposes excinElycly. The rate of taxation is required tote different as to each kind or description of property enu merated. The meaning of the term rural is not changed.; it is used as synonomons with suburban—that is, as outside of the built portions of the city—not' la) inland, but within the agricultural sections. And yet the idea of rural or country stands di n ctly opposed to hula appropriated and used for aci canine or trading or shipping purposes and ti , Lt.guous to the business portions of the city. 11 Windmill Island is not rural or farm land, then it Is subject to the fall rate of city- taxation. That portion -of it %, Lich is used for coal wharves, which fronts the city, and is used for commercial purposes, is neither farm land nor is it rural, for it is not it/ in the azricultural or rural sections. The tact that it has farm labd on one side of it does not alter its characteristic; it is to be regarded as v. ;thin the built-up portions of the city, because contiguous to it, 'routing directly upon it, used 'or trading and mercantile purposes, and having the benefit of watching by the pollee, who -constantly overlook it, being on its border all the time, as welt as of the I alas which stud the Delaware front of the city, and of the paved and cleansed streets toch terminate at, the wharves, directly oppo ,) te to It. The greater portion of the eastern t a nk of the Schuylkill, between Fairmont and GI ay's Ferry, is - unimproved, open ground: N bailed in, and devoted to Shipping and cum -I,,eicial purposes, and is properly taxed at tall its rant-, upon the principle that though not ullt over,nor having intermediate streeta paved, r light: Ed gueit • has -ttier bentflt of these , avantage is, which are carried to it and around ti. We think there is no injustice done to the ininuff by the Board of Rcvision, and therefore (lieLLiits his appeal. Mr. President George Petabodra Girt to the London rotor /Pronounced a, sisataut. Norbnry, the London correspondent of the Chicago Journal,writes a le tter,in which he says: George Peabody has this week given another half million of dollare, as he says, to , the , poor of Loudon. This makes the gross amount of his gift, exclusive of interest, $1,760,000,0r,in round numbers, including the accumulations, about two millions of dolliars in gold.

Mr. Burlingsme held that the objects .of the present mission showed evident signs otprogrr.as, and by to means evinced a retrogade dispasttion on the part of the Chinese government. Be also deprecated the practice of Western Powers ha using an unfriendly pressure to' introduce new F3144133E4 and new ideas among a people' whose knowledge of foreign , natiOni- was bt recent origin arid who were nurtured under a traditional system to which_ they were accustomed, and attacked because,such repressive policy would tend to revolution and repress progress, whereas the Chinese government fully admitted the neces sity, of progress and desired , to encourage it gradually withemta sudden shock tether feelings, passions or prejudiees of the PeoPio• Lord Clarendon, in his reply, fully admitted that the Chinese were endued to forbearanCe tram foreign nations, and assured Mr. Burlin game that Eagland did not desire or intend to apply any tuarriendly pressure in order to induce china to advance more rapidly in•her intercourse with foreign patients than was consistent with the safety and feelings of the Chinese people. The following articles were then agreed to be tween Lord Clarendon and Mr. Burlingame : Frrst—That it was necessary to observe exist ing treaty stipulations. 6ccer,d-That all negotiations should be con. ducted With-414 central government,- and not with local authorities. Third—That before the Inauguration of war disputes should be referred to the home govern ment— Lord Clarendon has feinted instructions to the British agents in China, to act in accordance with the spirit and with the objects above ex plained, and moreover to caution British subjects to pay due respect not only to the laws of Otitis, but also to respect the usages and feelings of the Chinese people. These points settled, the gene ral principles of the American treaty were Ws- CUEIBt d. Lord Clarendon considered them kindly, and agreed n that they should form the subject fur fu ture egotiations.

It Is remarked that the telegram of Geucral Prim, ordering the Duke of Montpeusier to leave tLe kingdom immediately, Is couched In peremptory language, while those f the other Ministers are studiously respect ma It is true that the Duke, as ono of the eip ale-generals of the Spanish army, Is oue of Nines subordinates. The Republican journals do not fail to dwell upon the Duke's eagerness to o.operate in military operations against the people. It is, however, probable that his Royal Elighness meant to,avall himself of his pert onal miluence in Andalusia to brink about a capituLt- Lion honorable to all parties, and thus make himself the hero of the circumstance, but it Is evident that the Government has now other views; and will neither let him achieve greatness nor thruht, greatness noon him.

RAMIE., Dec. 111, 1868.—A Blight cloud has for Eoinu time been hanging over the Ministerial hori zon, aid reports of changes in the Cabinet have et n confirmed by imputations against the Mints ter of Foreign Affairs ' M. Moustier. Ells diplo matic past in the. East has been subject to much tra i niry ; but bis hollOrabitdlB,6B has been victo- riously re-established. It is pretty certain that ,Le Ministry will remain at the opening of next •$, i-sion 'what it was at the close of the last, although the portfolio of M. Pittard, the Minister of the Interior, is still on the lapis. It may have been , noticed lu America, as hero, that the Leaden papers are showing great zeal tor the reservation of peace between France led German); also that the Prussian papers have ecome acrimonious in their leaders on France. Iht.se conflicting tendencies might have bean an ticipated by British diplomacy, as the surest way- to make two nations inveterate enemies is to endeavor to reconcile them inopportunely,and Lem much zeal in a good case is equivaleet to passive neutrality. For the present, how ever, war and 'dlilcord are out of the question.

But,the ques tion le, will It? Will the Nipoleoule dynasty continue old traditions or Inaugurate now ones? GENERAL GRANT, gird In a very easy, familiar way, entered into conversation.' Inn"few Moments Senator -- was announced with Judge --,of 14,ntisisim . "General " said the Senator, "Judge —wishes to see 3ou a few moments' and ennsult with you ro regard to the improvement of the levees tit tau lower. Mississippi. We wish the United States , Government to endorse and thus KU - trantee the Londe of the State of Louisiana for the restora tion and Improvement of• the levees." I Lope, the Government• will not ,do • the General replied with a. quick, positive utterance that was not only_deeisive and final on that sub ject. but almost stunning. • "Bat, Gvnend," urged the Senator, "we only wish the United' States to etiderse the bends, so that. e can sell without s ruinous discount, , giving the United Iltatea • ample security , for the entire amo unt, so that-it would be impossible for the Govertimetit to loser main any emergency." Again' Grant milekly interrupted: "I never knew a Government to become responsible for -any "amount - that it - did not 'riricnately - liave to pay. You' now want the endorsement of the bonds. - that - is given, you will soon want to itgkiate for the payment of thbondi." "General," said the Senator, "yea,are too hard `,'While.llve are discussing on all sides.' said Grant, - ,"how the national debt Is to be patd, I Ehall oppeso any increase of the nation.ll otelgie liens." "It is impossible to cultivate our lands," inter posed the Stnator. "The levees are absolutely neetteury" know all 'about the levees," he answered, "I Fefved in 'that couniry when nyoung• man, and bad Something' to do' myself with the breAtlng of those levees." ' -- • "Big," said the Judge, "millions of acres of the best lar..d in the world are ankles; to over flow." " Let them overflow, and let them stay under water," said Grant, " until their owners are wil ling that Northern men and Northern c %OW should come in and protect and improve them Northern men with ample capital are ready to molre7,a garden of your &ate, and you won't let them do it. Your large landholders are as hos tile-to the United States Government to-day as they have ever been; and If the Government should rebuild their levees It Would not change thtm a particle.

"Chinni," said the Judge, "the negroes won't work." - Won't work!" Grant goletly replied, "they'll work if you'll pay them for it.' , "Am I not right?" be added. "Is there not such a hostility to Northern won that itamOunts to Goat sections of the State to a practical ex clusion of them' from the agricultural interests of the count*? Is there not an nnwillitizness to ivide up the hinds and sell in small parcels . to, thaw who might immigrata; and Ls' there not a iteneral tendency to secure the services of the negro - without prompt and adequate compensa tion?" "I must say," said the Judge, "that there is more or less of truth in all these points." "Then."esid Grant," "I think you will, have to build your own levees, or wait under water until you are willing meu should come in who will build them." The above, though not all that was said, gives the substance and spirit of the Conversa tion. It, shows much tuom plaiitly than any Fiotement I have seen precisely where the Prest dealt elect row Month NV ith, refercpco to the Smith.
