Edward T. Young, of No. 14 West Sixteenth street; was sud denly taken ill by a stroke of paralysis of the left side, and after lingering for over two days,expired at a quarter of an hour before five o’clock yester day morning. The parentsof the distinguished dead were na* lives of Ireland, who emigrated to the United States in 1812, and for a while took np their resi dence in New Jersey, where Thomas A. Brady, their eldest son, was born in 1613. He became a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and died at Tampico, during the Mex ican war. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. Brady removed to ibis city, in which the subject of this sketch was born on the 9th of April, 1815. He received a liberal education, studied law, and in 1835 was admitted to the bar. His great natural ability and legal attain ments soon placed him in the list of the most eminent lawyers of New York. As a pleader In criminal cases he was distinguished for the happy manner in which he would com bine the most artful arguments without de viating once from the truth. In the great “India rubber” case, between Day and Goodyear, Mr. Brady was associated with Daniel Webster, and that great statesman was profuse in his praise of the able manner In which bis associate conducted the proceedings. It would, of coarse, be Impos sible to narrate all tbe important law salts de fended or prosecuted by the deceased. Tbe last case of more than ordinary interest in which he was engaged was the recent trial of General Cole, at Albany, for the mnrder of Mr. Hiscock. and which resulted, as will be remembered, in the acqnittal of the accused. While quite a young man Mr. Brady attached himself to the Democratic party, becoming in time one of its acknowledged leaders in this State, Tbe only office he ever held, however, wasi a local one—that of Corporation Counsel for this oily. He was freqneutiy solicited to become the Democratic nominee lor Jndgeship. but always <jecHned, hiB practice being too valuable and lu crative to be abandoned. At one time he was the candidate of the Democracy for the office of At torney-General of the State and was defeated, In iB6O Mr. Brady supported them aims oijofin c. Breckinridge for the Presidency, and became the candidate of that branch of the Democracy for the office of Governor. He was, with the candidate of the Douglas Democrats, defeated bv the Bepnblican nominee. After the outbreak of the rebellion the deceased gave a hearty sup port to the war measures of Mr. Lincoln's ad ministration, and even went eo far as to join the Union League organization,in defence of the non partisan character of which he wrote and pub lished a letter at the time. As soon, however, as be discovered that it was partisan he severed his connection with It Mr. Brady’s political career during foe post fowyears was unmarked by any important event. He is said to have supported General Grant for foe Presidency, but of this we are not positive. As a public speaker the deceased was one of the most eloqnent men of foe time. He was polished, finent, witty and ever entertaining. Whether at foe bar pleading for a client, on foe stnmp advo cating bis political ideas, or in foe social circle engaged in conversation or replying to a toast, he was ever foe same—charming his hearers by a ready and happy flow of language that but few men are possessed of. Mr. Brady was foe Presi dent of foe Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and also President of foe Dramatic Fnnd Association. And here we wonld state that there was no more liberal patron of American art, litera ture and drama than he. In him foe American artist, writer and dramatist fonnd a warm friend. Taken all in all, both as a public man and as a private character, foe death of Mr. Brady leaves a blank in New York life ibat will be difficult to fill As a lawyer bnt few members ot his profes sion can be found to fill the position he occupied wbo are not already his poers. As a member of society his loss is irreparable. The remains of foe eminent lawyer have been conveyed to his late residence, No. 124 West Twenty-third street. To-morrow (Thursday) morning, at half-post ten o'clock, a solemn high mass jbr foe repose of his soul will be celebrated at tbe Roman Catholic Cathedral, on Mnlberry street, to which all of his friends are invited to attend Herald.

(Correspondence of tbe Philada. Evening Bulletin.} | Pams, Tuesday, Jan. 26,1869.—Th0 weather- Wise portlonof the commanity, wbO have been sp long predicting that winter was not going, to let as off so easily as has hifoerto.been .the case,; have every right to feel prond of their superior prescience. After two-or three false alarm", Jack-Frosttook ns fairly into his grip about the middle of last week, and has been pinching ns border and harder ever since. Yesterday; about cuntise,foe -thermometer marked : nine degrees of cold ■ below foe freezing point tra.-F-JOHESrI aiad there'’ is no pro«pectofanychangofor the present,except to a greater Intensity of cold. The change of scene which this change In . the weather has worked Is quite' magical. - We had been floundering Shoot in rain,, or ralherdrizzle,and moist fog and mod for nearly twomonths, to the ureal disgust of the transatlantic element of our population, who sighed for ‘some bright Ameri can weather. .And now it has come, with bine shies and plenty of snnshlne, almost as bright and cheery as at home, regular old-fashioned Parisian weather, such os of r late years seemed 'to have been quite ‘lmproved” and* “embellished” away, so seldom for some seasons past has it visited ns. The only drawback, to it is the dost, a Britannic importation, caused by the general introduction of Macadam in onr new and'' wide Avenues and Boulevards. OnSunday last, for instance, when every carriage in Paris seemed to be on its way te the skating ponds in the Bois de Boulogne, the aspect of the Champs Elysdes was peculiar. The equipages, almost all of which were open, looked as if they had been rolling along the dnsty roads of the Sooth of Prance in July or August, and the be-cloaked inmates and flunkies behind were as be-powdered as if return* ing In costumes of Louis XVI. from a bid* maeqn. Hair and wbiskers alike were reduced to dust-color. i When such weather as tbe present sets' in suddenly, with'aetrongisb breeze from the north, it is the enstom here to coyer up the horses with leather, bach and front, until they look like rhi noceroses; and' when this clothing, 100, l is Whitened with the fine dußt, the whole turnout Wears an aspect which is more peculiar thaneie t'ant. Add to this that you now alwaysseoafew spores of yelocipedißls flickering about llkojwinter grasshoppers amongst the rolling cloud of dost,, aUd you will acknowledge that , the beau-monde of Paris on Snnday was curiously composed. On lirriTing fairly at the lake, however, the ' ’sdenef changes for the better, and oil becomes bright and < animated. The' Paris Skating Club, which lately thought Its occupation gono for tide season at least, is now once more in foil activity. -The bright little coquettish;Pavilion is streaming ifilh flags outside, urhile Inside there is a crowd of eliqantet in the choicest skating costumes; the letter got up in a style ondwithacare' that make cine half suspect tfct the skating itself Is, in com* parison with the dress,.of guile secondary Un port an ee. America,' need hardly be said, was igrgelv represesented; the female ele* 0 "”* '•rhar preponderating, 1 thhik,n«rta numbers, salt ccrtainiy did in pietdresqueness of dress and grace and ; fascination; of actkM and altitude. The Imperial family did dot fail, of course, soon to join the gay throng, for the Emperor and Empress both skate well, and evidently enjoy the exercise; and even if they did not, the young Prince,' I apprehend, like other boys of his age, would leave father and mother no peace until he had brought them along with him to the general rendezvous'. Tbe scene on the ice has certainly been very gay and brilliant for the last few days, and the more en joyed perhaps for having come so unexpectedly. It has arrived, too, at a lncky moment, when even Emperors and Statesmen are at leisure, the Conference just over, and every one only wait ing to hear wluit Greece will reply to M. Walewski's message. , Californians will be pleased to learn that the ! PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1869. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS JLBITEK. FBO» PABIS. due collection of the floral and botanical beauties ■if their State, together with a choice assortment of tbe Cornlferm, brought to Parii by Mr. T. Q. A. Warren, of San Francisco, have been highly appreciated by the men of science of all coun tries here, who have visited them. European naturalists feel greatly indebted to Mr. Warren for having thus placed within their reach a knowledge of the natural history and produc tions of a region of which they have heard and iead so much, but seon os yet so ittle. The collection comprises four -ten species of Californian Cornifene, the most beantifnl being the gigantic cones of he Coulterl pines. There are besides rare and unique specimens of the tamrac, now first in troduced to the notice of Bnrope. Specimens of silk cocoons, mammoth almonds, with numer ous ferns from the Bandwich Islands, admirably arranged and pressed, giro great and varied In terest to the exhibition. Combined with the noble painting of the scenery of the Rocky Mountains, by Bieretadt, now exhibiting to all Paris at the Banking House of Bowles Brothers, California may be said to be as well repre. eented by the arts and sciences as by gold, 5 and to be at this moment folly brought before the eyes and thonghU of Pariß and its numberless visitors of oil nations. Last week also, two Californians, Mrs. and Miss McCauley, were among the group of Americans presented by General Dix to the Emperor and Empress, previous to the grand ball at tbe Tuil erles. Tho second reception of the American Embassy, on Saturday last, was,lf possible, more orowded and fashionable even than the first. The foreign element wae larger, and stars and rib bons glittered on many breasts. Tho Greek and English Ministers were present, among many others. , The official reception of Mr. Burlingame and his diplomatic suite took place at theTnileries on Sunday lost, that being the day usually devoted to Buch ceremonies In Paris. The entire party wero taken to Gonrt from their residence in the Champs Elysees, In the Imperial carriages, with state liveries and every other mark of considera tion. They were first Introduced to the Emporor in the Throne room, surrounded by his groat officers of Stato. Here Mr. Burlingame pro nounced a short and appropriate address, to the effect that his novel mission marked the desire of China to enter Into tho general faintly of nations and to accept the common obligations of international law. This desire, ho also sold, had nrlson. out of a bet ter appreciation of Western civilisation, re- tho establishment of moro Intimate felaUotro&etwcen the representatives of foreign powers ana the statesmen of the Chinese Empire it Pekin. Tho policy he wished to Inaugurate 4 OURWHOLE COUNTRY. was (bo enbatlfatlon of diplomatic action to the r opriccß of interest and brute force. These latter vords were not perhaps without a lesson for .ihoeie European powers who have., persistently onllied China, with a flow rather to ad u vnnco 1 their own material Interests, than 1 'tpr any higher object or motive; and Mr. was probably not sorry to show, as , p American, ob how much higher principles his aiseionwsß fonnded. He is acting deMaster of Ceremonies to China. He tidies her by the hand and presents her to the modern World, with a courtesy and dignity which at once assume to her government its proper placo. The Kp>perbr're> , p|ied very graciously and even cordially, and the f pprty afterwards waited ppon tho Empress, who It), *' —ived " ' in her nrino*" rece. - »nan ..her private apartment, eur ronndedby her ladles, and produced an evident impression by her beauty and grocer of manners and gorgeous toilette. General Prim’* Dcslcaib ' The Madrid correspondent of the N.Y. Tribuns writes ns follows: j The Montpensler people have been ranch ex cited, by a fresh revelation o( Prim’s plana—or r pbatpurport to be such. On# of the Dane’s or gans printed an anonym one letter, affirming that »; bargain bad been struck between Prim, the i King or Italy,and Napoleon, according to which Victor Emmanuel's second son, tho> Duke of Acosta, was to be put on the Spanish throne. Prince Humbert, his elder: brother,' is In Ill health, not likely to hare an heir, and scarcely txpcoied to live, so that the chances of the Duke , of Aosta, for the Italian throne. are considerable. By this bargain he la to renounce them to favor of Clotllde, and the probable accession Of that lady and her husbandPrlnce Napoleon Is the bait Which Induces the French Empefer.to be a party to this excellent scheme, and, to give his support to Prim. Its result would be to make Prim practically Dictator, spice the Duke of Aosta la a man or snck feeble intellect as to be almost Imbecile. There Is an alternative arrangement, provisional or contin gent on some event not specified, by which the crowns abonld be shitted, the Duke of Aosta be coming King of Italy and Prince Napoleon King of Spun. Due would think the Napoleons had bad enough of Bpain some fifty years ago. ' I don’t repeat this story because ! believe it,but because It was for a day or two very generally belie Ted in Madrid, and shows well enough how. much sincerity Prim is credited within his profes sion of .abhorrence far foreign intrigue. It hasjUßt this basis of fact to rest upon : Claldinl's visit a month since. The . official organs of the three countries persisted go strenuously In .denying to Claldlni , any ; official character that everybody believed he must have come on a regular mission. It was, In fact, as' I ifrote at the time, semi-official, the only doubt : being whether he came In the interest of the Duke,of Aosta er t the Prince ol Carignan, who ajbout that timeWaa supposed to be Napoleon’s ‘ favorite. But Clnldini Is believed to have gone . home satisfied that ho arrangement was practi cable, ’ i flcverdy JoHnaon on Bonnets* I Tbe Fall Mall Gazette, ol the 19th alL.cpnfelna this: > Mr.Revcrdy Johnson was at Luton,yesterday, afadpaid some compliments to tee young women ebgagcdin the straw-plait manufacture, of which Indusury Luton is the principal seat. The occa sion was the opening of a' new corn exchange and plait hails,. Earl Cowper, aa lord lien tenant after dilating upon the - identity Of English and American institutions, Mr. %JdhoadnTogreUed for ibesako of\the y oungwomen of Lnton that the old style tit bonnets had not been revived. the Minister, “what those Frenoh artists call bonnets are not bonnets at all; they are hot even caps; Ido not know that a night eapjwonld be more beautiful,but certainly It wonld be more useful. What can be more admirable, however, even in the ease of those small bonnets, than the skill and taste which these lady work* women of yours turn out their productions ? Why, those articles are gems of beauty, and they make the female face more lovely—if that be pos sible—than it has been made by nature. Ton see that, though far advanced in life, I have not yet forgotten the tastesof my earlier days, and I only pray that whenever I do so in this particular, Heaven may be pleased to take me to another world." Lord Cowper,at the dinner in the evening, followed in Mr. Johnson’s wake, suggested, os ho proposed “The Queen,” that wo had one great advantage over the United States in the fact that we could be governed by a lady. But Mr. John son wonld not even admit that. When he got np to return thanks for his health, he said: “We have neveryettried the experiment of having a young and beautiful woman elected oar Presi dent. However, in this age of progress, when strong-minded women are abroad, who can tell what la going to happen? Mlt Bhonld happen, my lord, that we elect a beautiful, charming, in tellectual woman, don’t delude yourself by the belief that we shall not cherish her as much as yon cherish your beloved Queen. And don’t be lieve either that our executive authority will not be administered with the same wisdom as that with which your Qneen may exercise her author ity.” Some facts In reply to the recent petition of Occupants and Owners of Property on North Broad street for an extension of time for the re moval of the rails: . First —The warehouses there are not now and bave not generally been filled to near their capa city. The grain depot of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company in West Philadelphia is, tbe writer confidently asserts, of larger capacity than all the storage room on Broad street now oc cupied. Second —The tolls for months past on Broad street have not paid the city the cost of main taining the road. Third —Favorablo locations for the transfer of the business arc to be had on Pennsylvania ave nue, from the Columbia Railroad bridge to the Delaware; on the Junction Railroad; on the west side of the Schuylkill, from the Columbia bridge to Gray’s Ferry bridge, and br tbe Prime Street Railroad to the Delaware and its branch on Swanson street, and on Market street, between the bridge and Broad street. Some of the sign ers have already purchased on these lines. (One of ihem, an extensive machinist, declares him self Indifferent as to whether the removal takes place or not.) Fourth —The largest real estate broker iH the city affirms that since the taking up of the rails on South Broad street, last May, houses and lots there havo advanced one-third in value, whiah secures a large increase in tho amount ot taxes to the city. Tho appreciation of Broad street by our citlaons for residences is shown by the splendid improve ments on the north of Rldgo avenue, notwith standing tho near neighborhood of the nuisance ou tbe south. Fifth— Tbe Improvements of the signors are of llttlo value, being for tho most part of a shanty or shell character. Sixth— ln 1861 Councils resolved unanimously that tho rails on South Broad street should be re moved, but tbe carrying out of tho measure was arrested by an injunction of the Supreme Coart. This, however, was dissolved in May last, so that tho ’petitioners cannot fairly plead want of notice. - I may add that tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, with a proper regard to the feelings of the public, have authorised Councils to remove their important branch on Broad street and, Olive at any time.
