Eable'b Galleries.— A particularly sociable and pleasant evening was eDjoyed last night, at the Gallories of Messrs. Earle & Sons, by their numerous friends. An exposition had been ar ramjaadtat short notice, Including the most recent wrWpifof onr Philadelphia painters, together ■with eomelnteresting examples from New York; and the invited gueßta appreciated the varied in terest attaching to the different works of art, and the brilliant arrangement of them effected by the proprietors. The hero of the display was proba bly Hill’s “Yo Bcmlto t " a beautiful landscape, somewhat In Bierstadt'e earlier manner. The Phil adelphia painters showed to great ad vantage. Rich ards’ sea-beach,Nan tucket,dlsplayed his elaborate drawing. Hamilton’s “Prometheus," among the fonr from his pencil, seemed lurid, strange and grand as tho passage from TEschylus which it represented; his “American Fall,” was thought by many to hit tho color of Niagara water better than any of the cataract of Niagaras under which tho patient public has stood for some years back. Lewis displayed his “Moro Castle, Havana," a very, tru&ful representation,from his own studies on the spot, of a fort now coming into Interest on amount of the Cuban revolution. E. Moran contributed bis “Reef of Norman's Woe,” Illus trating Longfellow’s poem: we should give this picture more attention if we had not previously described it as seen in the artist’s studio; he has changed It greatly, however, and for the better, and we shall be glad to describe it more -fully when opportunity offers. Mr. Smith exhibited his "Monitor and Mer rimack,” a careful painting much in advance of his previous efforts,- which Mr. Earle very promptly-succeeded in selling. Mr. Waugh had portraits, and Ferris an . exquisite crayon like ness of one of the little beauties of Germantown. The painters from New York were Constant Mayer, who exhibited “Good Words,” a fine piece of figure-painting in the German style, here and thero disfigured by muddy color; Bleretadt, whose largo study of Vesuvius by moonlight elicltß various opinions; East man Johnson, whose originals sold to Mr. Prang were placed side by side with that gentleman’s lithographs from them, with a melancholy effect on the latter; and other specimens of more or less Interest.—-The gallery will remain to-day as hung last night; a continuous free exhibition, with some Blight rearrangements, will be held thero for some llmo to come. And Bierstadt’e. Vesuvius—cer tainly an Interesting plctnre to physical geograph ers, meteorologists, dec.,whatever may be thought of Us art-quality,—will form a pay-exhibition in the front room upstairs. Old Clotues cannot stand before the bright ness of a day like this. Though they may still look tolerably well, tho beauty of a Spring day makes them look dull and unseasonable, and that accounts in part for tho great tide of people that has been flowing all day into Oak Hall. Pine Spring clothing, low prices and a bright Spring day draw the men and boys of all classes and means to the tiie Labqest Clothing House to get themselves suitably arrayed. ” This being Saturday the houßewlll be kept open this evening for the accommodation of such as were unable to “go shopping? during the day. ECBOPEAN AFFAIRS IEVTEB t'ROH BOIIEi Incendiary I’lot. lTlu«lolana ana Arit.iv—miscellaneous Clilt-Gliat. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin J Rome, Italv, Piazza di Spagna, March 19tb. —The believers In revolutionary mysteries have had ample food for excitement this winter in the numberless incendiary attempts that have beon discovered and arrested in and about 8t Peter's and (he Vatican. A lire was found smouldering in the archives near the Pope’s private apartment, In the Vatican, about two weeks since. Incen diary material has been discovered in the dome and also in the subterranean of Bt. Peter’s, so that now It is absolutely Impossible even for an Ame rican to obtain admission to either plaice. A few days ago quite an alarming accident (to call It by its mildest name) was arrested. The planks, joists and all the limber required for the tribunes' scaffoldings, and also the Immense umonnt of council seats now In process of erection in Ibe right transept of Bt. Peter's, are all kept in reserve in u cellar of the Vatican Palace. All this was found burning, bat luckily in time to prevent any bad result. But If the vaults and walls were not of snch cyclopean thickness, one can hardly imagine what might not have hap pened. As Ibis took placo just on the evo of Holy Week, at a time when the timber Is Indis pensable for the making of the seats In which the Immense crowd of strangers is accommodated daring the various functions, it has caused great burry and bustle, a state quite unknown to these leisurely Italian workmen. A large force of car penters Is occupied dally in the church, preparing tor Dext week's ceremonies. Thursday evening quite a remarkable musical - vent took place In Rome. Haydn’s Creation “as sung for the first In the Eternal City, l lie concert was in the grand hall ol (be Capitol, under the special patron -ge of the Roman ladles. There were 50) wiiett-in the choruses. One friend told me the » bole thing was “fall of sound and fury, signify - me ootbing;" another said It was very poor, and a bird reported that the choruses were really very tfectlve. As each friend has excellent musical iu.it, 1 am, of course, at a loss how to form an opinion. Where doctors disagree, who can know? To tell the truth, I did not expect much grati fication from a first performance of Haydn’s i rration by Italian singers, so I was very glad to * un-lei" at a email dinner party and selree, given !>y Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan Read to some Boston It lends, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac How, Mr. and Mrs. William P Draper, and Miss Draper, and Mr. Ihomas, the celebrated Welsh harper. This gentltman and famous artist has a fine Continen tal reputation; and added to this, the Welsh tuition have conlerrcd upon him a title of which Le is more prond than all bis European colebrlty. This title is “Penccrdd Gwalla," Chief or Head of the Welsh Minstrels, Pen Chief or Head-Cerdc Minstrel Gwalla Wales. After dinner Mr. Thomas was kind enough to give Mr. and Mrs. Read and teelr friends some of his exquisite music. As Mr. Thomas Is to have a concert on Easter week. I will in my report of it speak more at length of tils compositions and wonderful execution. Among Mr. and Mrs. Read's guests on Thurs day evening were several well known persons. Besides the distinguished prelate, Monelgnor Naidi, who is so well known to Americans thtongh bis klndnces and courtesy, there were Dr. Smith, the learned Benedictine; Dr. Chalard, President of the American College; Miss lloamer, Miss Btebbins, Miss Foley, Randolph Rogers and bis wife, Mozler and Mrs-Mozler, Ives and Mrs. Ives. Mrs. Macpbcrson, correspondent of the Mew York World, and niece of Mrs. Jameson; Mrs- and Miss Barnett, of New York; Dr. and Mrs. Gould, whose hospitalities are so kindly and elegantly offered to Americans visiting Rome; Madame Jericban-Bauznann and her son; Healey, the artist; Dr. and Mrs. Sargent, formerly of year city; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Fell, also of Phila delphia; Dr. Taussig; Sgambati, the famous Ro man pianist, dec. There has been a rumor (hat William TeU Is to be performed in Rome, after Easter, but It is un true. This opera is a forbidden one, and cannot be represented Id Rome. I paid a few visits to the studios last week, and saw some very interesting pictures, especially at Healey'B studio. There was a portrait of Liszt, just being boxed np, on the way to the Royal Ex uibition of London. It Is a very curious picture, and was pointed for Mr. Longfellow. It repre sents this famous virtuoso and executant, as tbe poet first saw him when he (Mr. Longfellow) called with Mr. Healey, one evening in December, to present a letter of introduction. Tbe two gentlemen had entered the ante-room of Liszt's apartment In the Franciscan convent, near the Capitol, and Liszt came to them through a door at tbe end of the ante-room, holding a candle stick and a lighted candle In his hand. So this fine portrait represents him. The flame of the candlo throws an aureole over the famous artist’s bead and face, and the expression of the counte nance is inquiring and almost defiant The Im mense lower jaw is firmly set but the upper part of the face Is kind and bright. Mr. Healey showed me also a'pleture of Long fellow and his second daughter. <Edlth. The'poet is sitting in a cbair.one baud holding a little parch ment bound book, and he Is listening to some thing the young girl is saying to him. His (laughter is about fifteen, has a wealth of golden uair floating about her shoulders, which shows to fine advantage over the.green color of her gown and the green ribbon that binds back the hair from her girlish brow. Mr. Healey is painting another extremely In teresting plctnre, the sketch of which he kindly sbowed me. It Is to bo called “Longfellow and some of the American Artists In Rome.” Church is seated on a camp stool under tho Arch of Titus, sketching; Healey loans over his -boulder, and McEntee points ont to Healey what Church is doing. Behind them, to the right 'of iho spectator, Ib Lannl Thompson, walking for ward as If of the party, but engaged In looking around the ruins. At the left side, In the distance, are Longlellow and Miss Longfellow, walking towards the sketching party. The bold ruins of the Coliseum will lie against the beautiful bine Reman sky of the background, and when the pic ture is completed it mnst be successful. Modern artists show their wisdom, as well as taste, in selecting subjects in the life of the pres ent day, instead of rummaging antiquity ana my thology. The American poople especially care little for tbe abstract passive expression of the Ideal which contented the classic patrons In Heathen and Christian periods of Art. Art mast now express something that Is active and vital. Buchanan Read basnndln view,for a long whlle,a painting whose subject will be in this modern style. His numerous and dlstingnshed portrait orders havo prevented him from executing it. The sketch, as ne has conceived It, gives a group of representa tive American men and women looking at Michael Angelo’s famous statue of Moses by brilliant torchlight. Next week Is Holy Woek. The servant has just brought us in, with Monelgnor Nardl’s com pliments, ttekots for all the functions, which en title us to seats In the balcony of St Andrea, one of the balconies which are on the four piers that support the dome; a superb position, as It com mands a fine view of all the ceremonies and gives sueh a tout ensemble qs cannot be obtained from any other point In' tho charch. Through the kindness ol this prelate, and other friends, I have already enjoyed this position during every great feast of the church this winter: Christmas day, Feast of St. Peter’s Chair, and Oandlemaßf In my next letter I will tell you something of the grand coup (Twit on Palm Sunday, the Mise rete and other functions of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, &c. ' : One of onr townsmen has last reported his ar rival in Rome to mo—Mr. Frank Rosongarten; Mr. Washington Wurts was In town MV Weak. PHILADELPHIA'’ SATURDAY. APRIL 10, 1869. Rome never was so crowded, and the American colony of resident artists and visitors Is largo enough to make a respectable-sized town, with a major and corporation. Our couDtry people mm ont In fine feather in the varions hospitable snhme of Americans, at Mrs. Dr. Gonld’s, Mrs. Buchanan Read's, and Miss Cushman’s and other attractive bonses; their name is legion. In the Campagna, yeßterday, at Cecelia Mc tetla, the last meet of the season took place.. The members of the Roman Hunt and visitors on horseback and the numerous strangers were oot in fine force. The weather was superb, the sun shone brilliantly, and everything went off finely. To-day is the Festa of'BL' Joseph, the name day of Mazzlnl and Garibaldi, an anniversary which used to cause apprehension to the authori ths, but this year it seems to have arrived with out calling forth an v special precautions for the preservation of public peace. ’ Anne Brewster.

Twitched, Jr., in Moyamensing Prison, on Thursday morn ing last. Wm. B. Mann testified—Was not in tbe cell on Wednesday (bottle shown); never saw that bottle before Dr. Sbapleigh polled it out of the boot; Twitched never said to me that he intended (o take his life, and that he never wonld be bung; it has been mentioned in conversation between ibe counsel and others that Twitched was a man who would likely commit eulciae if he had a chance. John O'Byrne testified—l was in the cell on Wednesday afternoon; Mr. Hansford, Mr. Rich ards, Mr. Bringhuret, Gen. Cbllis, Mr. Farr, Mr. McAdam and Keeper Fleming were there when 1 went in; I had no private conversation with Twitched; I conversed with him in a low tone, and my impreesion Is that the keeper heard what was said; Twitched never sold to me that be would take his life; never saw that bottle until I saw it in tbo bande of Dr. Sbapleigh; Twitched said to mo that afternoon that he was so weak that he was afraid that ho could not go to the scaffold; don't think that anything could be paesed to him while I was there; 1 thought that be would hang to life as long as he could; he asked me to call to see him again the next morn ing (Thursday). Chas. H. T. Colds testified—l went with Mr. O’Byrno on Wednesday afternoon: when we went in we found the prisoner, Rev. Mr. Bringhuret, Mr. Ransford, Mr. Richards, of the Press, and Mr. Fleming; I sat there some time, and the most of my conversation was addressed to Mr. Bringhnrst; Mr. O'Byrne had a conversa tion with tho prisoner in reference to his busi ness affairs In Camden; In parting Twitched ex pressed a desire to see us again; I eat opposite to bim. and lam satisfied that nothing was or could have been passed to him whilo I was there; I do not know how a bottle of that size could have been passed to bim, in view of the surveil lance of the prison officials. P. T. Ranßford testified—Was in the cell on Wednesday last; left about half-past four o’clock: I kept my eyes on Mr. Twitched ad the time I wos there; nothing was passed .to the prisoner while 1 was there; from all that Twitched said 1 expected that he would meet his fate on the fol lowing day; he said that he had;no earthly hope and expected to be executed on the next day. Andrew Fleming recalled—On Wednesday af ternoon I went to the celt and ' asked him if he would have his boots blacked and he said “no;” I had bad Jerry Eaton’s boots cleaned and I thought that 1 ought to havo Twitchell’s cleaned also, but he Abruptly said “no;’’ Mr. Bringhnrst was In the cell at the time I asked about the boots; bis friends had all left then; when ho en tered the cell after his sentence wo searched all of bis clothing except his hoots; the cell was searched every day, but thb‘prisoner himself was OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. .not searched; there is no rule of the prison re quiring the prisoner’s clothing to be searched after bis admission to the cell; he could havo hid the bottle under the bed, or in the pillow, or in bis bat box, or among his papers at any lime; I went Into the cell every day and mode a search, bnt not a thorough search; the rules require us to scorch the cells to seo if any holes have been made In the walls with a view of escape; no search is made In view of suicide; we don’t ex amine visitors in the tried department, ball be lieve they examine them In the untried depart ment; there is always a keeper with visitors to see that nothing is passed to prisoners. Ecv. George Brtegbnrst recalled—l was In tho cell when the question abonttbe boots was asked; Mr. Farr and Mr. McAdam were present; Mr. Fleming opened the door and sold, “George, pass out your boots and I will have them cleaned:” Georgh turned as If Indignant or frightened and replied, “No,” very shortly; Mr. McAdam apolo gized for the abrupt answer. ?. L. Felberston testified—Was In the prison on Wednesday last with Mr. Wm. F. MoCully, end visited Twltchell’s cell; this was about 12 o’clock; saw nothing passed to Mr. Twilchell. Mr. Wm. F. McUully corroborated the testi mony of the last witness. Geo. S. Twitchell, Br.,testified—Was In the cell on Wednesday lest; went about quarter past nine o'clock in the morning; my sister-in-law and her sod, Mr. Zeiss, were thcre.but they left as soon as I entered; never saw that bottlo and know nothing about it: my son never had any conversation about taking bis life,and I think that if was before ois trial be said that he couldn’t be hung, that he would rather tear his veins one with his teeth; be did not intimate to me on Wednesday of any intention, to commit suicide, and I hod no sus picion of it; I saw no parcel or package passed to him while I was there; I asked him It he wanted me to call in the morniDg and he said that he wanted to 6ee nobody except Mr. Bringhnrst. -Walter Richards, reporter of The Press, testi fied—Went to tho cell with Mr. Ransford on Wednesday afternoon: saw nothing passed to Twltcbell while fwob there; the keeper was in a noaition to see everything which passed in the cell. John H. McCully testified—Was in Twitchell’s cell on Wednesday, between 11-and 12 o’clock; did not see anybody pass anything to the pri soner; Rev. J. Wheaton Smith and two others were there at the time; never bsw that bottle be fore; Mr. Twltcbell never said to me that he would take his own life; once before tho trial Twitchell said in presence of Mr. Campbell, a keeper, that if he wanted to take his life he could easily do it; that they had better resume the chains; Mr. Samuel F. Simcs accompanied me; be is the son of the druggist; I should not say that Mr. Simes was an Intimate friend of Mr. Twitchell; be only knew him by going to the store; Mr. Simes did not have any private inter view with Mr. Twitchell; I embraced the prisoner when I left; I never heard it intimated that he Intended to commit suicide; at one time daring the trial Mr. Simes said to me that Twitchell had asked him for something, and that he should not tell me; I supposed afterwards that he waDted poison; daring the trial Mr. Slmea told me that 'fwitcbeU said that he would net use it until it came to i 'the noose; I never sold anything to Twitchell on the subject J. T. Pratt testified—Was In the cell on Wed nesday morning; when I went In Twitchell was being shaved by a barber, I judge, one of the prisoners; an officer of the prison was present; nothing was passed to him; he never intimated to me that he contemplated suicide. Samuel F. Simes 'testified—Was In Twitchell’s cell on Wednesday; had no private conversation in the court room as I stood at tho railing before I gave my testimony; he asked me if I would furnish him with some prussic acid; I said, “Why, George! I can do nothing of the kind.” I told him that I would be patting into his hands the instrument of death, and 1 couldn’t -think of snch a thing; he said: AH right, and he didn't wish me to do it; after that he never Intimated to me that he intended to commit snicide, and I bad no suspicion of it |bottle shown;! never saw that bottle before; that tjutile has the odor of cyanide of potas sium; I have a knowledge of tho drag bneiness; I would not Eell such drug without I knew the person or what it wa» to be used for; we always register the names and residences ol persons to whom poison is sold; it is used for removing in delible Ink-stains, but it is not likely that a half onnee would be sold for that purpose; that bottle 1s ihe kind ordinarily need In drug stores. To a Juror—l did not consider myself an inti mate friend ol Twitchell; I suppose that he asked me for the poison because he knew that I was likely to know something about the drug busi ness; after that he never said anything on the subject; I have no knowledge how thti bottle came into his possession; cyanide ot potassium is used by photographers and silversmiths. Dr. Shapleigh said that the contents of the bottle is a eolation of prnssic acid, which is not sold by druggists except npon a written-prescrip tion; no druggist would sell a bottle without a label. Dr. B.F. Butcher.recalled—l took the stomach and the contents, and a portion of the solution found in the bottle, to Dr. John J. Reese, yes itrday, and we analysed it. Witness then read the following as the result of the analysis: “The contents. of the bottle in George Twitchell, Jr.’s cell, on examination proved to be pure hydrocyanic acid, or, as it iB commonly called, prnssic add- It was sabmitted to the fol lowing tests: “1. A few drops of the acid was placed In a 6mall dish and a drop of strong solution of nitrate of silver put in a watch crystal laid over the acid, producing a film ol cyanide of silver on tho glass. This is thp most dellcato test. To a drop of tho acid put on a crystal, was added a drop of eolation of sulphide of am moDia, and a drop of eolation of per salt of Iron, which produced a blood-red color. “is. Tho iron test. To a few drops of tbe acid mixed with water was added liquor potaßsa, a solution proto and per salt of Iron and pure mu riatic acid, which gave the precipitate of Prus sian blue; “4. A drop of the acid on Utmns paper pro duced a red color.” Wllncsß continued—The acid in the bottle is called Scheeles’s odd, and is the strongest kind; on Tuesday evening I went to his cel! at tho request of one of the keepers, who said that George was not well; fonnd him crying bitterly; told him that he was not sick but only worried; he said that he coaid not go to the scaffold; that be. would never be able to walk; am satisfied if he had had the acid he would have taken it on thatnight; It would be easy for anybody to slip such a bottle behind bim or into bis pocket whilo sitting beside him; that kind of acid is hard to obtain; It could have been obtained by somebody acquainted with the drug business; the bottle conld get in notwithstanding the vigilance of the watchman; it could bo hid in the straw of tho bed, and would not be found ob the search of the celL Scldcn Twitchell testified—Was In my brother’s cell on Wednesday from to 12 o’clock; never saw that bottle; never heard him say that he in tended to take his life; nevor had any suspicion of it. ; V v.

V ovcr a quarter of a century ago these ccntlo men established their bQßlness in our city, bat between the modest little store in which they at first sold ready-made clothing and the Mam moth Brown Stone building: exclusively occupied by them, in which they now carry on the ready made Clothing and Merchant Tailoring business in all of its departments, there Is the greatest possible difference. Enterprise and merit have given them their present high position. Years of unremitting at tention to business, and a skill founded on their loDg experience, together with courtesy and a disposition in every ca6o to give satisfaction, utnply justify and account for their success. In ready-made clothing, either for men or boys, and in piece goods of the finest textures and the greatest variety of style, this house cannot be excelled by any in the city. The ample size of their first floor enables them to spread out such a vast stock of goods that each visitor can eee at a glance every variety of garments, and compare them with each other, without the trouble of climbing any pair of stairs,or of carry ing the appearance of any garment in the oye. The large capital invested by Messrs.
