Their number was 400,0Q0 volumes. ,He was furthejj employed in making catalogues of bookAui foreign languages not to be found in the Museum’s collection. He has given an ac (•. con® of these later labors: “In the course of \ the #n yearn from 1851 to 1860, inclusive, the V number of separate works ordered at my sug £ gefS ori cannot have been less than 80,000, and r ’’to Pleet these orders required the examination i.: ofa&lekst 600,000 titles of books in Greek and - Latif, in Frenchfltalian,,Spanish and Portu . gue&;.; in German,.

F. Weir. The Yale school of fine arts was endowed by the late Alfred B. Street, and has for its home a fine building erected op the College green. Under the guidance of Professor Weir the school -promises to be very useful and successful. —The progress of decay, which lias already been noteworthy in the Munich glass pictures —we cannot say stained glass—in the Cathedral at Glasgow, continues, as we are Informed, in a manner which is unfortunate for all con cerned. Neither money nor trouble was spared in that country in procuring these elaborate, verv costly, and perishable transparencies. —Mr. John Linnell, Sr., the eminent Eng lish landscape painter, has written a forcible pamphlet, entitled, “The Royal Academy a National Institution,” which has considerable personal and public interest. In it Mr. Linnell explains his reasons for declining for the last twenty years to become a candidate for the Academy Associateship, after having been an unsuccessful candidate for twenty years pre viously. The remainder of the pamphlet has an important bearing on a question which many persons interested in the progress of British art think'quite ripe for solution, viz.: Is the Royal Academy to be considered an irrespoosible private body, or a responsible public institution? Funeral of Salnte-Beuye. According to the desire of the deceased writer and Senator, expressed in his testa ment, his funeral was to be of the simplest kind. No deputation-of any 'of, the learned 01- other bodies of which he was a member was to y be appointed to take part in his interment: \r\ “only lie would be liappy and grateful if any i'-if. of his colleagues and comrades wonld individ- I": ually accompany his remains.” There werejto *> be no let ires a faire part; a simple notice in / the papers was to lie sufficient. The funeral t » was to be at nine in the morning, or ten at the P latest. And lie requested to be carried directly from liis little dwelling, No. 11 Rue Mont l'amasse, to the cemetery Mont-Paruasse— “suns pa user pay t'ei/lise, re queje lie pourrais faire mux viuler la xincerili deutex sentiments.” On arrival at the grave no discourse was pro nounced over his tomb. The funeral was carried out strictly accord ing to these injunctions. At ten precisely the remains of M. Saintc-Beuve, enclosed in a plain oaken coffin, were placed in the hearse in front of. his dwelling; a pall was placed upon it, and v upon the pall a large wreath of violets, sent from Arcachon by a lady. A crowd of five or j elx thousand persons, among whom were the ' leading literary celebrities of France—Renan, > Littre, George’Saiid, Dumas pcre : etfds, Taine, Ac.*—were in attendance in the street, and fol lowed the hearse. The population of the neigli } brirliood and of Paris were ranged on both ’ sides of the street, and in about ten minutes i ’ the final resting-place of the great writer was His body was lowered into the t vault: the crown of violets was placed upon it; and M.

A. ' > | 4 A Chinese wedding came olfat Grass Valley, L’' # California, a few weeks since. The Union 1/ J thus describes the couple married: Bv | Tin Ti made his appearance at the church f first and alone. It is not high-toned among the Chinese for the bride and groom to be pre fc* Jr gent together at the marriage ceremony. He was dressed in a dove-colored blouse, knee ■ • y. breeches, blue stockings, fancy shoes and em li s skull cap. Tin Ti having departed the daily from the church the bride came up in gorgeous toggery, having'her hair setup in a ridge across the'middle of her head, from front to. back, with paste and large gilded pins, some six in ches high, “allee same rooster s head, as .au irreverent Chinaman spectator remarked. . Be low her head she wore a .frock,- which hung loosely from her shoulders, and made of fane silk. Tliis was looped up under her left arm to one dollar’s worth of gold buttons. The bottom of this rig was about a foot from the ground and below it were white stockings and fancyslT'oes, with soles three inches thick. It was manifest to witness that she was agitated, and that her nerves were anything but steady. One American present thought she was, agi tated because it might not agree with her health to he an honest woman so suddenly . Another said she was as pretty as a “spotted pup in her diffidence. She was, in spite of all remarks, put'through in proper shape, according to the notion Mr. Wan Kee and the Joshes have of the marriage ceremony, and then she was turned loose to find the balance of horself.

The indices were in-such a di lapidated condition that they could scarcely be used, and the papers piled away with such ir regularity that great confusion was the con sequence. Tins has been remedied by the preparation of new indices of durable form, a rebinding of the most important documents, and the fling away of tbe papers according to 11 These'improvemonts will be very beneficial to the public, as they will greatly facilitate the transaction of business, and the records ox for mer years are made easy of access to the . legal profession. Resolutions of Thanks.— -The Ryle Monu ment Association passed resolutions of thanks to Prof. Beni. K. McClurg, leader pt the Liberty Cornet Band, and to the members of the band, for their voluntary services on the occasion of the laying of the corner-st one of the monument in Old Oaks Cemetery. These resolutions having been elegantly engrossed and inclosed in a massive and handsome walnut frame, were presented to Prot. McClurg, at his residence, ho. 51i North Tenth street, last evening. Eor a few days this handsome testimonial will be on exhibi tion at the store of Vm. Y. McAllister, Iso. 728 Chestnut street. . Rihe. —This morning, about half-past three ■ o'clock, a tire occurred in the second story of Nci-KiOS Cadwalader street. The building is owned by John M.

"When the jury brought in their verdict Corlies could dot be fomiS, having left the Court House. This morning he was arrested at Fifth and Queen streets by Tipstaff James P. Webb, and was taken into Court. House Ransacked.— The dwelling house, No. 2006 Arch street, was entered by thieves sometime during last night. The bureau drawers were .broken • open and the place generally was ransacked. It is not known ■whether anything was stolen. The house is undergoing repairs, and the occupants are absent from the city. : Business. —Boxes, hales, barrels and crates piled on the sidewalks, in our principal busi ness thoroughfares, give earnest evidence of, active trade. These goods are directecUto .many localities, thousands of miles distant. The freight depot of the Pennsylvania Kail road presents, it may be said, a,gigantic scene of activity. - PniCE of Wood.—The best oak wood for fuel is selling at $8 per cord; pine, $9. There is little or no hickory in the market. It seems singular that pine wood commands a higher rate than oak; the reason is that it is in greater demand. Robbeby.— The house of tar. Miller, at No. 778 Martin street, was entered through the front cellar door at an early hour yesterday morning, and was robbed of a pair of boots and a coat. Ready fob the Roof.— The appraiser’s store-house, on the site of the old Pennsylva nia Bank, on Second street, above Walnut, is ready to receive the roof. The building is en tirely fireproof. Abbival of Cabbage.— Nearly one hun dred thousand heads of cabbage arrived this week at Vine street wharf from New Jersey. The crop is very heavy and the quality excel lent.

A Baris letter has the-following: “A very clever Englishwoman is just now, or at least was a few days ago, in Paris. She was last heard of at Macon, where she did a small but remunerative business—short protits and quick returns; and, as she may again visit Paris, it may be as well to de scribe her and her system of ‘taxation.’ She looks essentially respectable, of course, and provides herself with the name of some well known courier; then she proceeds to different house 'agents and hotels, and, showing her credentials, in the shape of- a letter from her courier husband, telling her to take rooms for Lord X-—-or Lady Y—li, ‘as good as last year, and'., better if possible,’ proceeds to make a bargain, ask ing the house agent or landlord to telegraph, which he does, and duly gets a reply'through tin) same medium. About this stago of the transaction Mrs. Courier requires a little money. She has an order on Rothschild, but her husband has forgotten to endorse it. She generally succeeds in getting something on ac count, and has, to my knowledge, retained three suites of apartments, obtained three ad vances and gone on her way rejoicing. Ser-. geantde-vllle Nemesis, will catch her before long, you will see, but up to the present -time she is a winner. It mast be a curious game, requiring at least four players; for she lupi letters by return of post, and telegrams di rectly from any place to which she refers.” The Stowe Business. The N. Y, Times says: Mrs. Stowe’s mind seems to be in a singular state of confusion concerning her position in relation to Lord Byron and Mis. Leigh. The rule of law which guides the civilized world is that it rests upon the accuser to prove the charge, not upon the accused to disprove it—“E2 incuinbit probatio qui dicit, ndn qui ner/at”—and therefore it was Mrs, Stowe’s duty to produce her proofs in the first instance. She failed to do that; but not withstanding this breakdown of her case, evi- EVENING BULLETIN^-PHiL dcnCe Which to all appearance is perfectly un answerable, was adduced in favor of the in criminated persons. It is proved'out of Lady Byron’s own letters tliat she had the greatest confidence in and affection for Mrs. Leigh at the very time Mrs. Stow o alleges that she had discovered the gjiilty connection. All that Mrs. Stowe doe,s no,w is to publish a series of “cards” asking the public to “suspend their judgment.’’ She has no right wliatcvor to make this claim. In the absence of proof, the public mast assume the innocence of the person acchsed. A '‘sen sation” book was not needed from Mrs. Stowe. Her evidence, if she has any, could have been given in a short compass. : Her own comments must necessarily be : worthless, for she is not even an unprejudiced -witness-from hearsay, and it is to bo inferred, from her first statement that she has no documents in her possession which corroborated even the smallest details of her story. She can only give us her inference and deductions, all drawn from an avowed an imus against Lord Byron. We are to set the evidence in favor of Mrs. Leigh and Lord Byron aside until we have heard Mrs. Stowe’s Opinions upon that evidence. Is that a reas onable demand for’Mrf. Stowe to make ?
