have been . brought out prominently, the
picture now presents a now, fresh and neat
appearance. in removing the 'painting for
repaim, a mystery which. has puzzled many.
sleds; and others connected with. the office,
has teen cleared up. In :winter time there
was always a chilly air about the main desk,
and this , could not bit accounted for. When
the painting was taken away a few days ago,
it was dis Covered that the upper part of the
sash in the window behind it was down. It is
supposed that in 183.1, when this window was
repaired, the workmen forgot to close it, and
the sash has remained down from then until
now.
A wooden eagle overhangs the coat of arms.
•Tllds• has. also' been nicely =gilded. When
the dust was removed from it a few days ago,
two &pall composition plates were found.
These plates bore the following inscriptions :
"This statue was prepared for and used on
top of the funeral car in the great civic and
procession, - directed by the- 'special
coininiitee of Select and Common Councils, in
commemoration of the death of Zachary
Taylor; late President of the United States,
July 30, 1850, Francis For, sculptor.
"Special Committee on Arrangements : John
Price Wetherill, Chairman ; John Cruoks, A.
T. Waterman, Isaac Elliott, Charles A. Poul
son, Benjamin Orne, Wm. G. Mont; Freder
ick Lening and Thomas Snowden."
The carpets on the floor are of entirely new
patterns, elegantly designed, and of the im
portations of E. H. Godsbalk & Co. That in
the main ball is a crimson and drab mosaic ;
the base is of the new Giraffe hue, and the
foreground strictly mosaic network, picked
out with crimson and gold, the whole forming
one of the prettiest dens ever made. The
carpet intended for the Mayor's privatesollice
was made from a design furnished by E. H.
Godsbalk & Co., and manufactured by Lap
worth & Co., the celebrated carpet-makers of
London. Ithas a green ground with gold fret
work, shaded with light emerald, gold and
drab.
The work on the private office and ante-room
is still in progress, and will probably be
finished this week.

RouiNse.ti's Anr-SALE.—An assembly of
art-loving people, on Christmas presents bent
but of a frugal mind, gathered this morning at
the old emporium of A. S. Robinson, No. 910
Chestnut street, and started the bidding with
•i good deal of spirit. Although the compe
tition was considerable, however, a number
of bargains were secured, which seemed to
whet the public appetite for "more." The
stock is truly rich in tasteful goods adapted
for this generous season. Among the four
hundred lots, including paintings, engravings,
chromes, photographs and enamels, all framed
in the best taste, it would be strange indeed if
there were not material to please everybody.
The sale will be continued to-morrow and
Friday. We have not space to go into par
ticulars in reference to the stock, a better idea,
of which will be obtained by referring to the
advertisement in another column, or, best of
all, by attending at the store and studying the
eatalogue. Martin Brothers, the auctioneers,
are conducting the auction with decided
ability, and will earn the trust of the public as
advisers and guides in tine-art matters.

- The tavana correspondent of the N.Y.Tipies
The effect of the. Message was electric, and
Cuban stock went down • but it must bemn
derstood that the act of 'non- - recognition' will
not be productive of as much evil to them as
recognition would have been of benefit: I.
liave no hesitation in saying that hundreds
"of lukewarm Cubans who, until now,
were more interested in piling up., the
dollars' than. iu the future of - .their their natiVe
home, awaiting and expecting that America
and the Americans would do the fight
ing for them, will now openly oppose the in
surgent cause, not so much out of a .belief as
from the reason that hereafter the fighting
Cubans will not spare the plantation, house or
life of Cuban or Spaniard, and destroy also
the property of those who. have hitherto been
only sympathizers. General Grant has changed
the character of the Cuban war; it mill hence
forth be no longer a series of insignificant ,
skirmishes and make-believe battles, but, as it
has long threatened.to . be, a war of fire and
sword, a war of, incendiarism and extermina
tion.
Au Eueiting Seene---Swearing in Volun
teers.
The Times's Havana correspondent has the
following:
Among the different battalions lately arrived
from Spain, none have attracted more atten
tion than the so-called Covadonga Volunteers,
from the province in Asturias, in Old Spain.
They arrived by the steamer Comillas, ou
Sunday, and were escorted in procession
through the streets, which were gaily deco
rated with the Spanish colors. These soldiers
aro like the others lately arrived from Spain,
and it seems almost inhuman that the passions
or politics of men should require the sacrifice
of so many hundreds of young lives. On be
ing received at the Machine by the Committee
on Festivities, where several speeches were
made, the Colonel commanding them became
excited, and turning with his drawn sword to
ward his command, he shouted:
"Volunteers of Covadonga, do you swear to
shed,the last drop of your blood in defence of
the national integrity, and not to lay down
your arms while an enemy of the fatherland
exists "'
And from a thousand voices the answer
came: "We swear."
The.scene was really grand, and the faces of
all tlie,spectators seemed to lighten up with
intelligence and determination.,At that
meat I could realize how the Spniards of old
must have looked when going to battle.

Ali ARRIVAL EXTRAORDINARIL—Great ex

Philadelphia, and straightway proceeded to his head
quarters, Ko. 1037 Spring Garden street, where his bag-:.
gage was speedily opened and the contents arrayed upon
the shelves and counters of that sumptuous establish
went. GEORGE W: JENKINS, Esq., the host, did the
honors in u . style befitting the glorious occasion, and the
King testified his full appreciation of the ceremonies by'
a neat speech. in which he cordially invited the pnblic,.
especially the juveniles, to call and see him. As his so

OUlt FIRM BIiLIEF.----There is always com
fort as well as plemmre in wearing a neatly-made, nice
fitting pair of French calf boots; but there are com
paratively few among the followers of St.Criepin WllO
- understand the art of making them. To
such of our readers who are not already cognizant of the
fact, we would state that William fi.Helweg,the accom
plished artisan No. 435 Arch street, next to the corner;
of Sixth - has attained such proficiency t tliat he invariably
pleases all who favor him with. their patronage. To
undertake to - pass through the Christmas Holidays with
out encasing your pedal extremities in a pair of Helweg's
boots, is to curtail your enjoyment at least 50 per cone.
You had better go see lielweg about this before it is too
late.
