Helmboid one of its most enterprising citizens,_there. is not a shadow of doubt. In what ther part of the country is there. such a liberal advertiser as this gentleman, and where is there another business place of the kind, on the continent, that will compare with the mirrored walls, the marble floors and decorated ceilings of 594 Broadway ? But Mr. Helmbold is not satisfied with . . the glory thus far .attained: he is cdn stantly_ seeking new worlds to conquer, and finding that New York in all its vastness is minus a place especially ar ranged for the use and patronage of ladies during the summet—a place where a lady without escort - may take a refreshing draught of soda water or Vichy, surrounded by all the refinement and elegance of a palace, we might say—he has just supplied the Much-needed feature, as he mom ty. does such things, in a very handsome and liberal Way. A corres pondent, who appearS well informed regarding the details of the place, sends us the following particulars :—"The novelty consists in a grand reception-room and a ladies' retiring-room, both furnished in Oriental splendor. In the centre' of the reception-room is a gor geous, soda fountain, octagonal shape,. twelve and half feet square from point to point. In its construction, selected specimens of the fol lowing marbleshave been brought into use: Povnees, Greyot, Vermont, Victoria Red, Lisbon. Simoncola and Tennessee. The foun tain, again, is surrounded by a magnificent Chinese liagoda, frescoed in the highest style 132,-one of the most eminent artists in that branch. Adjoining this is a 'Ladies' Toilet Room,' furnished with an eye to elegance and convenience. The whole shows a liberal and profuse expenditure of money, and the ladies of New York will now most assuredly avail themselves of this delightful resting-place— Which is #idly equal to their own homes, in points .of comfort and beauty."

On the other haml, there are many with whom a regard for rubric:4, a standing up for prescribed order, and a vene ration for established authority, amount almost 'to a relion; and among this class the action of the Bishop will find its chief defenders.

OVIt'SACRED AitCHITECTIII Broad andSpnaciaStreetro Etapitleft.,Charch: With .a little care in the detail, and wchise . adherence to the spirit of the design, it seems as if we might have, at the above named - cor.; nor, 4 3 monument that shall really'be a mile-. stone in our progress in the most enduring of the fine arts, The plan reveals freshneSS 'and invention.: The designer 11:18 not squeeze.d his building -into. any of the coniniOn' , Getlie "•*, classical moulds so. often adopted to save the trouble of has' conOder..e.d . ;Well; his iocaiity, his proportions, his points of view, and the special mode of worship to be shel t•;red by the edifice - This This architect; who by the by alipeals to our respeet ds'the son of the late lamented Bishop Pottei, 'is a gentle man of holarly .attainments, *ho pearsto have studied the history of church architeeture/ an'd t 6 have, reduced the images in his mind to a series of fea tures approvable for their simplicity, direct use, and elegance!' If the construction can only be allowed to go for Ward in the • pure taste, the seemly gravity, the clinstened sys tem of ornament contemPlated by the de signer it seems to us that with Out much cor-. rectio> we may adopt the pattern as, a lesson in beauty and harmony. The danger is lest Mr. Wheaton Smith's cengregation, affected at the wrong ntoment with that spasmodic economy which often in this country'restriets the exPressien oftaSte, will allow some of the beautiful intended details tb be omitted, or re placed by cheap work. This would be a great mistake; for the plot is not large, being an ob. long of 70 by 120 feet, and affords from its di mensions and location opportunities to display in the largest light a concentrated 'richness of finish. TBE EXTERNAL DETAIL The structure at first sight will recall the churches of Southern Gothic which are char- 3 acteristic of the plain-cities of Lombardy,. and attain their highest finish at Venice. The dxuberant sculpture of the surface which ex ists further North is not copied; bet a partial substitute is provided in the agreeable - relief of colored stones. These contrasted stones are built in, as at Venice, so as to form, part, of the construction; they 'are 'not` bicrusted . or ve neered.upon the surface like the parti-colored" marbles of Florence. The architectitherefore, is justified in calling his style, so.far a.s it goes, a reminiscence of Venetian Gothic. The contrast of color is obtained by facings of the beautiful green serpentine from Chadd's. Ford, relieved with dressing of Ohio "Clough", stone. The two :,doorWaYs be adorned, quite in the yeuetian spirit, with columns of various precious granite's, Outside,. and marbles,inside, ,"polished to the highest degree, and so tastefully adjusted that the small dimensions'proper, to costly stones will be concealed, as at Venice,_ by the cir-• .Cumstances of their continuation and setting. The capitals designed fox.the pillars:of the principal doorway are already placed, and are works of art; they consistof crossed branches of palm, boldly undercut, and spreading with florid Gothic gracefulness. The variegation is continued in the high-peaked roofs, which rise- in various gables around the building, re lieved with dormer windows of Cleveland stone, frilled at the top with filigree metal work, and spotted down their / sides with fig ures orgray and red slate from Vermont. A rather tinfb - rttmate detail is that of the\tYinPan over the tower-doorway; this is formed of an expensive sheet of Scotch granite; but as it is plain--and-magnificently- polished it has no more architectural significance than a pane of glass. The situation is one which by all tradi tion and habit demands sculpture impera tively. For the corresponding space over the main doorway, Mr. Struthers, who has charge of the stonework, is causing to, be pre par'ed a beautiful bas-relief from Ary ScheiTer's world-renowned - group of Christus-Consolator.T IMENG2OII •.This comprises several, features of novelty. The first anomaly to strike the eye is the loca don of the tower, which instead of making an effect at the corner of the building is planted, after turning a low and plain corner, one-third of the way up the eastern aide. We suppose the liberty of placing a tower: on the south face sale church was too incongruous a thing for the cultivated architect; in its present loca tion it occupies a footing on . the east face, which is not much better, but the whole design is a medley of cour ageous liberties taken with ecclesiastical tradition. The Baptistry is an ample feature at the north end of the building, The organ is placed against the western wall, and closes . what by courtesy may be termed a transept. ln the position of the Lecture and School- Rooms convenience equally takes the prece dence of custom ; this position is taken up in front of the Audience-Room, instead of be hind it ; and a rich screen of platetlass framed in carved walnut may be opened so as to turn the whole interior into, one large auditorium. Parallel with this screen, -at the other or northern extremity, will stretch the face of the taber nacle enclosing the Baptistry; this will be a superb carving of walnut, lofty in proportion, and including gates of wrought metal-work, richly illtiminated. A sliort gallery on the West side will extend from the organ to the L - ecture=re - omi — sutp - orted on li lii iron columns, illuminated; that on the eastern side, running from the Tower to the Pastor's StUdy,springs from a pair of beautiful pillars of dark marble, respectively quarried in New .York State and in Tennessee: The interior-of the roof will be- celled with plaster, relieved with-massive weoden traceries of decorative fOrms. THE WINDOWS &Imre are three find large ones, a rose • over :the principal eastern door, a ;magnificent. chancel window over the Baptistry, and a cor responding one in the south end, giving light to the Sunday-school. These are all to be filled with stained "glass: It is intended to make tho principal window, that in the chancel over the Baptistry, a work of high religious art.

They are to Suggest the seasons,—the dgfrodils of spring, the bending grain of summer, the fruits of autumn, and the ice-laden branches of winter. Above their foliage, this text: "While-the-earth re maineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease." ARESIFTECiERAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BUILD- Our BaptiA citizens have here the opportu nity to give reins to their liberality in im proving the finish of this well-beonu construd tion. Two arguments especially appeal to them, in this regard. The blinding is 'of so convenient a size that any detail will have value upon it, like the elaboratiOn of a jewel, and it is in so central and conspicuous a situa tion- that its completion •in a worthy manner Will be appreciated . by every Philadelphian, and by every stranger passing through the city. We earnestly hope that sufficient spirit can be found among Mr. Wheaton Smith's parishioners to develop a fine architectural plan in a spirit worthy of it. The architect .is Mr. Edward Tuckerman Potter s 5 . 6 Wall street, New York. The stone work is under the charge of Messrs. Struthers & Son, and the carpenter work in ihe hands of Mr. Catanach.

A correspondent of the New York Times has the following: WAsnmlrobr, Sunday, June 6. Finding myself in Baltimore yesterday; and learning from a celebrated locaf-paper of that city that the Honorable Reverdy . Johnson, late Minis ter to England, had arrived there on Friday morning in the North German steamship Ohio, I determined, as a representative of the .Times, to make him a visit and present him my con gratulations on his return to his home. The paper in question said that "the veteran jurist and statesman looked hale and vigorouttafter the ordeal of a sea voyage and the more try ing political buffetings of pending difficulties between the United States and England." ** • * Mr. Johnson threw himself on a lounge in the cool, Indian-matted parlor, where he Fe ceived me. "Yes," Said he, "hie English are • a great people. They are very rich, very warm-hearted. My career there was a regular ovation from first to last. They dine tltere about 8 o'clock in the evening, and those pub lic entertainments are splendid 'afiairs." And here the old gentleman's eye twinkled and his face was wreathed in smiles at the pleasurable recollections of his innumerable banquets. He continued: "1 found nothing but good will there for the 'United States. They received me with open arms. I was tendered more in vitations-to dinners, public - and private, than I cOuld ent. I addressed multitudes of people. 1 had to decline that Southampton banquet es I was leaving, because I was too unwell. I had an attack of indigestion, and I could not go." 1 expressed the hope that he was better then; and said that I saw his home friends purposed - to give him a dinner. To. this he made ne reply . . A shade passed over his face, and I imagined that he waa_then revolving in his mind the respective merits of American and English banquets, drawing .conclusions by no means friendly to the culinary achieve ments ofThig — countrymen. • I attempted to get him again on the subject of England, but he : Was obstinate, and persisted in questiOning me' on domestic of • I4EWSPAPBES‘ "Wliat do they say here ?" said lm. "The newSpapers ?" ,"Yes, the newspapers."

"They , knotv nothing whatever about it. That man Smalley and one or two others abused me all the time. By the way what kind of person is Smalley?

Clarendon says that England ' might as well say that she would reject the treaty because the holders of Irish Republican bonds might come in under its terms. The Americans whoni I have met abroad denounce Mr. Sumner as much as the English people do. It is a foolish speech. Take that point which he makes about a block ade. That, decision in the prize cases in 11. Black is totally against him. The English pa pers have not published and will not publish his speech." • Mr. Johnson was very indignant on this sub ject. .He could not tolerate the idea of 'attach ing any importance or significance whatever to the ideas of the Massachusetts Senator. He started up from his seat, and walking up and down the room, nervously and rapidly, said: "The English Government will never accede to the Stunner demands.

Seward wrote the at the time that both he and Mr. Johnson were ,satisfied with all that I bad done, and that the protocol was satisfactory.
