I hinted the other day about Greek offers of an American port in the Ntediteizantian; and now fees die VI- Lona papers are asserting that a similar offer was made to Russia. Ce 'n'est yue k preniier par gee cruse! If Russia and America once begin to "annex" Europe, there is no saying where; they may stop, or how soon they, may make a mouth ful of all Greece, and Turkey to boot. There is using taste for "classics" in: the United Skates, and it would be curious to see the stars and stripes floating on the shores of the Pirreus ! But, as -1 began by saying, there is an end of the question apparently for the present, and it, 18 rash to en denver to pry too curiously into the womb of the future. Hippophagy Is still making progress in France. The establishments for the sale of horseflesh in Parts seem to be gradually spreading themselves : into the suburbs. New stalls have been opened at Boulogne (sur /Seine) and also at St. Denis; and the cities of Troyes, Melina and Marseilles are now said to be bagel's , provided with the same aliment. At the first mentioned city a borne-flesh banquet was held the other day, at which some statistics on the subject ware put forward by the President. He said that the con sumption of ordinary butchers' meat throughout the whole of France did not average more than 16:.,000 kilos (or twice as many pounds) a month proving how small a quantity the masses of the population could still afford to eat. Now -he reckoned that not leas than fifty-five millions of kilos. of nutritious diet might be obtained yearly from the horses, mules and asses alone of the country, which were unfit for farther useful am vice In other ways. These friets seemed to make a considerable impression on the audience, in creased perhaps' by the goodness of the,dishes of which they had jest partaken, and a coniuffitee of the inhabitants of Troyes was formed for the purpose of propagating the sale of horse-flesh. The shooting season in France is just closing, the Prefeds having the power to fix the thine -Li each Depaitment. The shooting license, Or" aberty to carry arms—porfe-crarvies, as it is called —costs twenty-five francs, of yihieh fifteen franca go to the govertiment and te' francs to the local parish funds. The average number of regular licensed 'sportsmen is about one hundred and fifty thousand, and the sum paid by them, in all, to the State and the municipal chests, just short of four millions yearly. Unforbinatelsctlieriumber of "Irregular" sportsmen, Oros poachers, is far greater, and is roughly estimated at little less than half , a million. • The sum of one hundred thousand francs has now bean raised, by subscription for a monument to M. ilarryar. Ills proposed, hewever; to divide the proceeds, and devote one portion to a legal statue, to be placed In`.the Fatale de Justice, of Paris; the other to a political' statue,' to Stand in one of the public places of Marseilles, for which the deceased istatesman was deputy. ) Your readers may remember that some time back I gave the detalla of an extraordinary poisoning case at Marseilles, when the main ob ject of the crime committed by the women who, were chiefly implicated in the affair was to got rid of their husbands in order to 'make place for their paramours: s A great deal was written and said at the time about the fearful immorality re vealed among the l'hower orders," but Paris seems about to be edified with the disclosure of a similar horribloseandal i -baied on similar motives, among the highest class Of its society.;' 4 roast Russian Count, named Kziolnlakowski, has been arrested on a strangb charge of attempting to poison the Due de Bauffremont a man of high social poeition . and family, The Count, it ap pears, had a liaison with' the Duchess , to which the husband was an impediment, and the guilty pair determined, therefore, to get rid of the latter. The mode they hit upon to effect this purpose was more original than prudent or likely to es cape detection. The, Count went to a celebrated female of the demi-monde with whom he was acquainted, and propoeed to her that at the next bad-masque at. the. Grand Ooera, whither she was going, and where also the Due de Bainire moat was certain to be .present, she OMt WHOLE COWT/IY• .:I! , I()NDAY, MARCHI,. 1869. . • • , _ , shim* ottraetthe Dukel attention. and, having doneen;shotld, of* him, a bon-bon, to be given, her for, that purpose by the‘Count. The reward _km this:apparently trifling service and'gratultom civility was to 1)0'20,000 francs! The lady pro; , 'tesid&i, to be blind, and' to accept the commission. Brit the people who inhakit, only "one-half the world" are quite as wide awake as those who live In the other. She made an appointment with the Count to come to her house with the bes-bfm.t; and then she went off to. the adjoining Commis nary of Police, and made= an appointment with him too it, bo of the parti. The latter personage, you may be sure, did not fail to come, neither did the former; and, to be brief, and without going into the details of the scene whit* ensued, some of the &maims, though not all, wore in fact forind to be poisoned, and the Count and a med ical student who came with him •and had as sisted him wore arrested: The grand wrestler' in the beait made of Paris was to know whether the Drichess would be implicated; and horrible to relate, Ills now: said that a telegram sent • by the latter from London; where she 'no* is, to the Cottnt, and intercepted by the Pollee, leaves but little doubt that the miserable woman was cognl rant of.what was going on, and was plotting her hisband'a murder with her paramour. The high position of the parties will give terrible Mat to thls new crime, and proves that vice is by no means confined to the slums and cabarets of Marseilles. The Burgos Plurder—Who the /Issas. Sins ere—hl!. Halo—The Papal sun .l!L Madrid correspondent writes: From /3urgoe we learn that four or five per sons have beds convicted of the murder of the late civil Governor, among whom is a canon of the cathedral. They have been sentenced to death; it is said; and the Council of. Ministers are to approve or disapprote of the findings and judgment of the court-martial in a few days. The carnival intervenes to postpone the decision, but it will soonhe given and speedily carried out. . Public opinion generally demands the prompt. punishment of the culprits, though many wish the penalty of death to be forever laid aside and imprisonment for life substituted in its stead. The government will probably order the culprits to eegarroted, as an example to future fanatics. It is p pity that the public are not inclined to see .otaething else than the extreme penalty of the law enforced upon thee.° poor devils, becabie the drift seemed to be in favor of the abolishment of capital puniehment when the revolution began. The religious and political feeling runs so high that it is quite, vain to expect anything bitt a pub lic execution as a sequel to these _unfortunate Burgos affairs. It is probable that the execution will bike place . within ten daysfrom this, in case the Governinent decide to carry out the sentence unthe court. I shall endeavor to witness the event, though it is by no means a pleasant one to centern plate. The Nuncio is again quietly domiciled in hie ovin house, and is likely to be free from insult ,. .or harm, unless another Surged affair occurs to excite the publie mind. The Memorial Diploma, thpie of Paris states that the Nuncio found refuge . tootle United States Legation' during the tour daSa of- public excitement. The writer of the letter is probably an attache of the French Em base', and ought to know. I was assured by a member of our own Legation that he had not henn thelegation °lint . ..the first evening. Ido • out know able)), gatemeut Is eorrect.. The 'Nuncio is on _Snell friendly and Ina Mats terms with the Minister of the United States that he certainly must have been invited to remain there, whether he did or not. The well-known intimacy of the Pope's representative wilt the representative of thd freest country on the flee of the globe is remarked in Madrid by the Liberals in, a manner unfavorable to the credit of the United States. Of course these social rela tions have nothing to do with political feeling, but they are not looked upon in that light by Enropeans, who can see no difference between private personal and official- relationa. Mr. Wale laid himself open to teeny very severe , rlticisms by giving an official dinner to the Pope's Nuncio and his secretaries and to Count tisint Martino. the last Minister from Francis of Nltples, the purest Bourbon of the Bourbons. on he very day he officially recognized the pro vitional go et nment. Nothing could have been more inopportune than such a display of official hospitality. Mr. Hale meant nothing of course, bat his Ignorance of the eternal fitness of things ed him into a very gross blunder. Our diplomats ~re not always - as familiar with social and official etiquite as they are with international law, opening tile Cortes—Attempted As sassination. Tbe New York Tribune's Madrid correspondent writes: After the opening ceremonial, "a solemn Te Ileum" was Bang at the church adjacent to the Palacio deramgreso. A suspicious movement on the part of one of the bystanders inslde led io is immediate arrest, when he was, it is said in Otte act of leveling a blunderbuss at Prim, which' be had concealed beneath his cloak. Two other men, who had been ,seen talking with him, beat a precipitate retreat, but have since been apprehended. The affair has been kept very close, and no _one eeerrlS to know to what party the alleged would-be assassin belongs. Stime say it was a prntrranged thing, intended to fall, but also to excite for Prim a renewal of that popular sympathy he has contrived to lose. Another Incident, which threatened at' one mo ment to lead • to the gravest consequences, alto occurred, about three in the after neon, immediately' after the eeremonial of the opening of the Cortee had terminated. Some paid agent of disorder fired off a revolver in the Carrera de San Geronimo, close to where it ad joins the Puerta del Sol, and this when the troops were defiling, and where the throng was most dense. In an instant a cry of "revolution" wee raised—for revolutions in this country are thus announced and comnie,need--and a panic seized the people, who fled seared, in every direction. The troops at once formed, the volunteers of liberty threw thernselves into skir mishing order, loading their muskets as they went, and bringing them to the rest when they stepped, stood ready for action. The aims, however, soon ascertained the real state of affairs, and rapidly restored order. Brit verythany per sons, especially women, •were more or less in jured by being trampled under foot, for the scare was general. Napoleon and Spain. The Paris Qaulois affirms that the bearing of Fiance toWarda Spain is hbstile rather than fr endly. and that the proof of this is in the mea sures taken in Paris agtdnst the Madrid loan. It is,certain that the Emperor has professed abso lute neutrality in respect of the Spanish govern dent, and that the instructions given to the Ftench Minister at Madrid are to the same ef fect. The refusal to quote the new loan on the Pitris Bourse is the act of the Syndicate of the stock brokers. This is now formally declared, dOnbtless on authority, by the Canstitutionnel. It adds: _. i"All the Madrid Journals that support the pre te.nsions of the<Dnke of Montpensier to the throne have recourse to grose tactics, in order to exas perate the national sentiment of the Spaniards. They affect to say that the French government will not have that pretender at any prlce,and that itidoes its utmost to prevent his election. M. Santa Anna, the editor of the Correspondencia, tied who, it may be said, in passing,ls the private sderetary of the Duke of Montpensier, distin guishes himself by all sorts of incorrect allege lions, and by "he most, violent attacks on the gOvetninent of the Emperor." Ttie Constitutionnet reiterates the assertion that tlia Emperor has resolved to meddle in no way whatever , _. , Wlth,the affairs of Spain; fiat he patio !, nise,mop der, and that he la ready to recog nise ihe per whom Spain shall choose for her tovereign; out excepting the Duke of Mont pensier, "if . 6 beconica the legal tepreaentative of popular election." ROME. A correspondent writing from Rome furnishes the following items: As if. to discredit the rumors of hie serious ni twit, the Pope has taken quite a of activity, and has. 'within the last few days shown himself a good deal in public. Yesterday he assisted in the Basilica of Bt. Peter at the solemn ceremony of Candlemas, and, after the mites, distributed the consecrated tapers among the Sacred College, the corps dlinomatioue, and the high functionaries of ' , the Butte. The Holy Father then, according to the custom of the Popes for the last hundred and fifty years, chanted the "Te Doom," in re.- aternbrance , of the preservation of Rome from the great earthquake of 1703. The ceremony at tracted an,immense concourse of foreigners of ill nations;and the tribunes were packed with The reparation made to Monsignor Franchl by the Provioi9iial Government of Spain has, in con junction with the apologies tendered by fienhor con unction: iteirera to Cardinal Antonelli, pacified the Holy Wilier on the subject of the outrages on bis represe,hiative at Madrid. Monsignor Franck', tut who hten4tved conditional orders to return to Rome; bettheett authorized to remain at his poet; bat the Pope continues to speak, of Spain in a tone of dettpondency. Desertions and all sorts of disorders are become so, common'ln the Pontifical army that it more • _;• ; • l 1 zae l Every day the soldiers of the different nationali ties engage in bloody scuffles In the public streets, and the citizens behold their guards kick ing and stabbing each other. Yesterday, in the Via de. Mcinte Brianzo, one soldier was killed and several dangerously wounded in a struggle of this kind,' It is found also that respectable women can only be protected from the soldiers In opentlay by patrolling the streeta with gen daitnes..• • The press of the Apostolic Chamber has Just completed the monumental record of the authen tic declarations of the Catholic Episcopate in favor pf the temporal power of the Holy See. These documents are all printed at full length, and for& seven thick volumes. _ Thereki a talk of holding a great festival at Berne on the 11th and 12th of April, to celebrate at one' nd the same time the fiftieth anniversary of sho,rope's solemnization of his first mase,his return from Gaeta, and his escape from the catas trophe at St. Agnes-without-the-Walls. The mu nicipality offers a large sum to illuminate the city. Irl , tarrlinee of Wales in Egypt —An iEa 'traorditeary Cerearony. The Prince and Princess of Wales had an op porttmity very soon after their snivel in Egypt of ; eceirg an extraordinary ceremony, of which the 'specter correspondent -of the-London rinses giVes a long and interesting account. It is called "the departure of the pilgrims for Mecca," but it is it. reality a procession of sheiks and holy men and:theLeacred_Mahmel and Risweh, escorted by ir.i:olar cavalry and guns, which leaves Cairo to go ', cut to the real pilgrims encamped on the plain of Athos. The Mahmal is a canopy of gold and velvet r which was used to cover the saddle of the wife of the Caliph on her journey to Mecca. The Xisweh is the covering which is put over the temple at Mecca. Thi. drive - through the city to the spot where the sight was to be seen appears to have greatly iimusrd the Princess, though now and then, when a refrattory camel blocked the path, or a dog 4^.ve warning of some small personal grief or in dignity, or the carriage was caught-at a narrow corner by a stray portion of the procession con sisting of dromedaries with far-extending plat forms on their backs and chanting ,pilgrims, she evinced a little anxiety which passed away In a moment. In due course (says the Times corres pondent) thp head of the procession emerged from undeitail; archway at the opposite side of the esplanade, and came towards the dais where the Royal party were seated. It was preceded by men with sticks to keep away the crowd, and they certainly keep their sticks going in a way which would astonish a line of beaters in a borne covert. Then came a crowd of men and boys chanting and shouting in front of the camels, one of which bore a canopy six or eight feet high; of cloth of gold, over the holy saddle; others sustained lofty saddles and saddle-bags, decorated with orange branches and short flag staffs with banners; otters carried holy hadjees or sheiks; and one was honored by a peculiar, if not agreeable load—a very sainted personage, whose great merit it was and is to keep turning his head roultd on his neck, a. if it were fixed on a uni versal joint, all the vv..) , to Mecca. Thisman,very fat ana unctuous t. behold, was bare-headed,; his grizzled, dark nd dirty looking curly hair, divided in the ce .tre, being his only covering from the blazing ... of Arabia. His body was stripped down tot the waist, and gave evidence that the holy m; . 1 • tit on flesh very successfully in spite of his he.. turnings. His eyelids were half closed, and his fat face had an utter want of txpression quite suitable to the bead to which It belonged, which went round and round, from right to left, at every jog of the much more in telligent looking camel which he bestrode straddle-legged. Year after year this holy man has turned his empty head in pilgrimages to Mecca,and seems none the worse—nay, all the better for it, though thousands of his fellow pilgrims who do not turn their heads perish miserably. •When the holy camel of the canopy came to the dais the young Pasha was handed the holy cord and kissed it, and then the chief sheik took it and kissed it, and the procession of cameh3,of singing men and shouting boys, and a turbulent straggling guard, defiled twice in a circle in front of the dies, while the guns of the citadel thundered out a salute. FROHIL THISPITON. iCoprespondesee id the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Triesnon, Feb. 27.—A large meeting was held in Taylor Hall, on Thursday evening, to discuss the propriety of removing the market houses from Greene streetr-rthe City Council having provided by ordinance for an election to take place on Monday next, March Ist, to decide whether or :not they shall be re moved. Council have also passed a supplemental ordinance, in case they shall be removed, provi ding for the, erection of a new one, at a cost of i 6 0 , 000, 011 %similar plan to those in Philadelphia. At the..meeting last night the matter was thoroughly discussed, the speakers being about equally divided for and against their removal. Consequently there is, andwill be, but little else talked of here until the question is decided. Greene street, where the market houses aro now located, is ono of the finest thoroughfares in the city, and is rapidly growing to by the first busi ness street of this place. During the past year there have been a number of handsome stores erected on it, many of which are wholesale houses. The city of Trenton, possessing, as it does, natural facilities equal to any other city on the Delaware, and superior to any other in the State for manufacturing purposes, if they be made available, its lively and more energetic citizens are therefore becoming fully alive to this fact, and within the past few years nave wrought wonder ful changes in this direction, and are still pushing on indomitably the work they have so auspi ciously begun; and if the people by their votes on Monday decide that the markets shall be re moved, that' movement will undoubtedly be fol lowed by many others of a similar character, having for their object the more thorough de velopment of the reeouress of the city. There are several large iron manufacturing establish mute here, which aro well known throughout the country. it is, however, in potteries—the manufacture of, earthenware—in which it stands Pro-erainent, and of which, it manufactures more than perhaps all other cities in the Union. The retail dry goods stores on ,Sltate street remind one of those on Eighth street, Philadelphia. But it is the clean, neat appearance of the private re sidences which more particularly strikes the eye of the stranger. A , large number of them are built cottage style, surrounded by beautlrul gardens; they are unostentatious, with but few exceptions, and are characterized by an air of refinement and a taste truly charming. Trenton will beer a favorable comparison with any city in the Union of an equal population in point of moral character. Bat there b a spirit of old fogyism which still holds considerable sway here, although it is rapidly giving place to the more enlightened and progressive viewe of "Young America." As an illustration of the an tiquated views held by this class, one of them, an ex-member of Congress, in speaking of the meet ing held in relation to the markets, said that he had lived here for forty years, and that the only true road to a competencewee by hard labor and honest industry, and not by these new farigled enterprises, which so greatly augment our city debt and increase taxation. (The city debt is now something over 1700,000.) But such spirits are from necessity giving way to the more active and enterprLsinggenins of the age, and in view of the contemplated changes which are about to take place in the system of railroad taxation in this State, ,Trenton bids fair to be come a large and prosperous manufacturing city. As it is now, it is Philadelphia in minia ture. On last Tuesday night an old barn in Mnria villa, Pa., opposite this city, caught fire by soma means, and . two men, named Samuel Reynolds and Charles Clark, were burnt to death. The barn was a common resort for wanderers and vagrants, and the two unfortunate men were 01 kutma27. On Thursday evening a difficulty occurred be tween Michael Engles and Harry !Spencer, at the Phcenix Hotel, in which Engles struck Spencer on the head with a pitcher, cutting his head In a fearful manner. He was also otherwise severely bruised, and doubts aro entertained of his re covery. Engles will have a hearing on Monday morning, before the Mayor. THE CONKING MAN• Can It be PlielKennn.n 7 The N. Y. Times Washington correspondence Cob tams this : Some farther perturbation was caused among the Pennsylvanians to-day by the announcement that Hon. M. McKennet], of Pennsylvania, ar rived last evening and was received at the depot in General Grant's carriage and conveyed to his house. This was unfortunate as well as untrue. Mr. MeHennan is an able lawyer of Western Pennsylvania, and has been mentioned by some as Gen. Grant's probable choice front that State, but he came to Washington on this occa sion of his own motion, and did not ride In Grant's carriage, nor go to his hostile, but went to the residence of his representative, Hon- Geo. V. Lawrence. This afternoon he visited Gen. Grant:in company with his son In-law,Col.Smith, Wl3O is a relative of Mrs. Grant, but of Cabinet matters he knows nothing whatever. It is proper to say, however,that some people look upon the choice as very probable. He is esteemed the ablest lawyer in that part of the State, is about fifty years of age, a man of great - integrity of character, who has always declined office, no matter what the temptation. Ho is a warm per sons] friend of General Grant, and Is entirely free from connection with any of the factions of the dominant party in that State. 1116 fattier, Hon. Thomas M. T. McKennan, was ten years in Congress, from 1831 t 01839, and 1841 to 1843, and was highly es teemed by Henry Clay, whose immediate asso ciate lie was, and who frequently stopped at Mr. MeKentian's house when he traveled the Cumber land road back and forth from Washington. The appointment, if made, would please all parties in Pennsylvania, and these particulars are given to show that it is not impossible, though the gen tleman himself has no idea of it. ANIUSEXUENTS. —John Brougham's Irish drama, The Emerald Bing, will be produced at the Walnut Street Theatre this evening. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Wil liams will appear In the piece, supported by the entire stock company. The play is handsomely mounted with new and original scenic effects. —At the Arch thdbrallerrtrine comedy a Victim of Circumstances is continued. Those who have not seen It should not lose the present opportunity to do so. This evening The Corsi can Brothers will succeed the comedy, Mr. Barton Bill sustaining the characters of the Brothers— making himself twins, in fact, for the occasion. There will be a tragical and sanguinary "duel to the death," as the curtain comes down. Much Ado About Nothing is announced for next Mon day; and that comedy by a Philadelphia lawyer is underlined for the early future. —The French opera begins its six nights' sea eon at the Academy, this evening . , with La Peri chole, with Irma and Moe in the cast. Orphoe aux Enfers, Barbe Bleue, La Belle !Mane, La Chanson de Fortunio and Les &wards will be given in regular succession. Tickets can be pro cured at Boner's, No. 1102 Chestnut street. —At the American there will be a variety per formance this evening. The Japs will remain only during the present week. —Robinson Crusoe will be produced at the Chestnut Street Theatre, this evening, by Miss Susan Galion and her company. We are seriously sorry to announce that this will be the last week of Miss Susan's appearance. As we feared, she has not received sufficient support and encour agement at the Chestnut to enable her to continue without pecuniary loss. This rather sad failure le due to the enormous expense of conducting Ibis very expensive and uncomfortable theatre; to the fact that there are but two artists in the company—black eyed Susan and Mr. WILLOW— and to the fulsome eulogy bestowed upon the troupe by incompetent newspaper critics, Miss Calton is, of course, not responsible for the emptiness of the sktills of other people, but she can remedy the other complaints either by re turning to the Theatre Comique, from which she should never have gone out, or by recruiting her company. We shall be very sorry if she leaves the city. She ie a true artist, anti would succeed anywhere If properly supported. —Mae Evoy's "Hibernicon," which is a pano rama of Ireland, will be exhibited at Assembly Buildings to-night. —Mr.and Mrs. Madison Obroy will give a select musical and humorous entertainment at Assem bly Buildings, this evening. We commend this performance to the public as one of the most in teresting of its class. On Monday evening next Mr. James E. Mur (Well will give select readings at Horticultural Hall. —Signor Blitz , will perform at the American Mechanics's Hall to-morrow night. On Thnraday evening next the "Arabian Nights' Entertainments" will bo given at Concert Hall. The performance will be of a miscellane ous character ; a description of it will be found in the advertisement. A large number of pres ents will be distributed to the audience. —George Send has written a letter in favor of female suffrage. —Bayard Taylor has completed his translation of the first part of Gcethe's "Faust," and is now at work on the second part. The whole work will be finished during the summer, but the notes will occupy Eoplo months beyond that time. , !—Miss Donner, of Canton, Ohio, fell down stairs the other day, losing a piece of an ear in the descent. The missing piece was hunted tin, sewed to its place, and bids fair to resume Its former relations. —The report of the Labor Exchange in this city shows that the demand for labor during the past year was far greater than the supply. Two ship loads of,Qerman girls could readily be disposed of if they wets to be had, at from twelve dollars to fourteen dollars each por month. F. L. FrrkthgffiN. PRICE .11H4;4,9:NTR.4.-:':.;‘..

The ceremonies attending the dedication of "The Chamber of Commeroe"—the new hall of the Commercial Exchange Association—titer, magnificent structure erected at the corner of - - Second and Gothic streets, came off this attar• noon. A full description of the building Was published in the EVENING Bursarrur of Bridal " last. The Commercial Exchange Association is me in the country, and in the new building, taloa possession of to-day, the Aisociation has given to Philadelphia one of its finest ornaments. The dedication of "The Chamber of Cammercee• is one of the moat important events which has oc curred in the commercial affairs of the My,. and It has brought together such an assemblage of merchants and representatives of the industrial. interests of the country as we have seldom had here. Delegations from Boston, NeW York, Troy, Albany, Cincinnati, Milwaukee; Chicago and In dianapolis arrived in the city during last evening and this morning to participate in the dedicatory •I ceremonies. Twelve o'clock, noon, was the hour fixed for the commencement of the proceedings, but be- fore that time gentlemen began to gather in the, handsome edifice and pass admiringly, through•itei, diffekept apartments. The Liberty Coronet Band was present and performed some excellent selections of music. The large hall, which is hereafter to be the meeting place of the business men of the city, was filled in almost every part at the time the exercises began. The dedicatory oeremonies commenced shortly' after twelve o'clock. • ' , Rev. George Bringhnret delivered the followlpg Prizager: "Lord, Thou hest been our dwelling • place le an generations. Before the mountains Were" brought forth, or ever Thou hadat formed the • ' earth and the world, even from everlaeting" everlasting Thou art God. The heavens are Thine, and all the hosts of them; the earth, artilVl , the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein; Thy dominion is an everlasting • dominion; holy and reverend la Thy name. We worship and glorify Thee, the triune God, and • bow in bumble submission before Thee, Thou. kipg of kings and lord of lords. We Invoke Thy , blessing upon this building, this enterprise, and Thy servants connected therewith. May the golden rule be practised byall .who tread these cotrie, and may they do justly, love anereyi.; and walk humbly with their. God. • Meer this occasion for the promotion of all which:is ' pure, holy and useful. Prosper the trade of our nation, preserve the public peace, inspiterthe press with truth and charity, bless every Com mercial institution of our city and land, our In stitutions of learning and benevolence, give nsl in abundance the fruits of the earth, satisfy the poor with bread and comfort the afflicted. Pour Thy spirit upon Thy servants who are with na to-day from abroad, especially be with the mem bers of the Philadelphia Commercial Exchange, convince them of the worth of their souls and. the weight of eternity; make them diligent and., serious in their preparation for it; and as they meet in this place day by day may they buy the truth and cell It not. May they, without excep tion, so live that when the earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved, they will have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens; and to the Father, Bon and Rolf Ghost will we ascribe blessing and 'honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." John H. dlichener's address. John H. Michener, Esq., President of the Coin mercial Exchange Association, then spoke as follows: In response to an invitation from the gentle men of the Commercial Exchange Associatidm and whom officially I have the honor to repre— sent, we have this day assembled for the purpose> of dedicating to the commercial and numnfac- , Luring interests of Philadelphia the magnificenti and beautiful hall we now occupy, together With the Chamber of Commerce building in which It is located, and both of which wore din:3ll;l3nd and built expressly for the purposes I have pat indi cated. Whilst it is quite true that many of our friends not connected with us aro well informed as to the objects of our organization, Hie also equally true that many others, including by far the larger por tion of the public, and particularly the ladies, are entirely unacquainted with the purposes for which we daily meet. It may therefore at this time not be out of place to allude briefly to its advantages as viewed from the standpoint of business men. In large cities it Is impossible that parties repre senting the various commercial and industrial. pursuits should be confined to any particular locality,but necessarily the reverse, being scattered and widespread throughout the community. , In We natural course of trade, and from the fact that, each particular branch and each individual is more or less dependent upon another, business Interviews become necessary, and Intercourse in dispensable. It is therefore not unfrequently the ease, and particularly in our own , city, that miles Intervene between the buyer and the seller, the commission merchant and the jobber, ''pen the manufacturer and his agent, who may happen to be located upon either extreme of its limits; and , thereby necessitating, when compelled , to see each , ; other, the lose of much valuable time when it can least be sacrificed, and frequently a ,total disap pointment, from absence of the party sought for. , The predominant ,feature of our association, ladies and gentlemen, is to obviate this difficulty. A certain hour of the day is established for high'' 'Change, when the reports of markets, both at, home and abroad, by telegraph or otherwise, tin they may be obtained, are daily read by the secre tary, previous to which time the members have gathered upon the floor, from all sections ,of Atte city, to buy and sell from and to each other, SSA to interchange views upon the state of trade and, business generally. Thus we are enabled earth day to meet with the various parties with whom we trade, and in an hour or two to transact More business than was formerly done in a whole day by remaining at our gores and warehouses; lira' thus it is that the energies and the reset:trees' of individuals are concentrated and rendered' the more effective in competition with those not em braced in the membership. There aro many other advantages that naturally arise from such a combination'of interests for the attainment of a common good t and which en gender a powerful influence in , favor of oar locality, both at home and abroad, and aid mate rially in procuring such laws and regulatione as may be found necessary for the benefit of trade generally. I dual pass these by, however, and endeavor to
