The address of Sfr John Key, the City
Chamberlain aid the presentation of the freedom
of the City to Prince .Frederick William of Prus
sia, is worthy of perusal as a speofenen of miser
able fustian. Soraps from Enfield’s “Speaker,”
Quotations'from Victoria melodrames, mottoes from
benefit "societies’ flags, studded the long-winded
oration of the dreary old gentleman, who wound
up a speech, which the Prime could not understand
by presenting him with the freedom of the city,
which h&will never make use of. The Prince must
have suffered & good deal from this style'of addrps*
in his native land,'but surely no Ober-hurgomeiflter
throughout the length and breadth of Prussia pan
have talked-suoh arrantnonsense as Sir John Key.

he might prevent the dignity of bis order from

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
New York, July 31,1857.
Onr'Empl ro City is in a lamentable condition.
The State Legislature, tenderly solicitous for the
welfare of the virtuous Gothamites, (and rather
anxious to tie the hands Of the Mayor,) passed an
aot whereby the government of the police in Now,
York ana Brooklyn was transferred from the’
Mayor, Aldermen and Common Counoil of thpse
respective cities, and placed undor a new Board
of (well-paid) Commissioners, appointed by the
Governor, three belonging to New York, two hail
ing from districts out of that city, and two more,
vU t the Mayors of Now York and Brooklyn, being
members exoMcio. After considerable delay nqd
expensive litigation, in which the validity of the.
statute was. challenged, on the ground of its being,
unconstitutional, tho Act was legally pronounced
good., The Mayor of New York immediately sub
mitted to the decision of the Supreme Court, ahd
at once disbanded tho old polioe. The now Com
missioners had not been able to organize (heir
polioe! efficiently, and, disgraoing the glorious
Fourth of July, rioting prevailed to a large orient
with disastrous consequences. Menntimo, thq.new
Police, Commissioners acted together with great
unanimity. Four of them, (Draper, Nye, Strana
han, and Bowen,) were of the Black Republican
party; Mr. Cholwell, tho fifth, was a Native
American. Suddenly, Mr. Draper, Chairman, of
the Bqard, sent in bis resignation. At the
time, { Mr. Cholwell suspended his attendance,
leaving his remaining three colleagues all aldno In
their glory. Then, unexpectedly, Messrs. MVood
and Powell, (the Mayors of New York and Brook
lyn,) quietly took their seats; Mr. Cholwefysud*
denlyj re-appeared, (voting with the Demodfctio
Mayors,) ana the Board Is balanced, three to thrde,
which[cau9es strange do-nothingism. The euccds
sor tq Mr. Draper is to bo appointed to-morrow
—the other Commissioners having the nomination.
The American party are trying hard for the
office, [but with small chance of success. If Mr.
Cholwell hold out, nobody will bo eleoted.
TheJ dispute about the Commisfiionership of
streets, (the Governor having appointed Mr. Con
over, and the Mayor and Corporation having given
the office to Mr. Devlin,) rages furiously, and, os it
is a good job for the lawyers, will probably be con
tinued as long as either litigant will bleed.
Though New York pays more for street-clean
ing, and with fewer visible results, than any other
oity in tho world, at tho samo ratio of cost, the
inhabitants of Broadway, her leading thorough
fare, have been compolled to form an association
for keeping that street free from dust in dry, and
from mud in wet weather, at their own proper
cost, in addition to the tax whioh they must pay.
The great majority of tho streets in Now York
have not been twice cleaned during the lsst ton
months.
One good thing has latoly been done in New
York—the public houses and drinking saloons have
generally boon kept closed on the two last Sun
days.! In Philadelphia, where the sale of intoxi
cating liquor on the Sabbath is strictly prohibited,
there may bo some surprise that this was not dono
beford, but the liquor interest is very strong in
Now |York, and Mr. Wood, who commonced his
first Mayoralty with a demonstration against Sun
day was so very inefficientlybacked by
the authorities, that ho was unable to carry it on.
It remains to be seen how long the present en
forcement will be continued.
Thd proceedings of the Vigilaneo Committee in
San Francisco startled the people at tho time!
No one expoeted that such an extremo measure
would be resulted to in these ultra-civilized re
gions!. Crime is not lessened, but sometimes in
oreosbd and intensified, pari passu with civili
zatiop. Lapt Monday night, a Mr. Van Liow left
his own dwelling to purouuso a bottle of porter for
his wife, and . was brutally murdered, as woll as
robbed, at tho corner of Meroer stroet, near Canal,
ono Of tho greatest thoroughfares in New York.
Two Wards (the sth and 6th) had a conjunct public
meeting on Wednesday, when, considering how
little protection and security thero is in that city
forproperly and life, they formed themselves into
a Vigilance Committee, “ for the better protection
of their fellow-citizens and property, and to deal
out that justice to the violators of law and order
which will give them little or no chance to evade
theiij merits through tho technicalities of tho
law.*’ They have offered $l,OOO rewnrd for tho
arrest and conviotion of the murderer or murder
ers. ! As yot the city has not offered any reward.
Upon the whole, New Yoik is “ all in a mud
dle, f (as Stephen Blackpool says,) and has the sat
isfaction of being more heavily taxed, proportiona
bly to its size ana population, than anyotnor city.
Tho Worst is that even this heavy taxation does
not eecuro good order. Nor, with the checks
placed by the State Legislature upon the ruling
authority of the Chifef Magistrate, do I sec how
the evils complained of can be easily remedied or
removed. X. Y. Z.
THE CROPS.
Wool growing as a crop has greatly dimin
ished of latein New England, and increased most
wonderfully in tho Middle and Western States.—
In 1840, the number of pounds raised in the New
Eugljand States was 6,440,909; in 1850, 5,085,509.
In the Middle and Western States, the inoreaso in
that period was 14,573,583 pounds, while in New
Englaud thero was a deoreaso of 1,355,400 pounds.
Ohio! is the greatest wool State in the Union; Ver
mont,taNew England Connecticut, in 1840, raised
889,870 pounds; in 1850,497,454. Ono of the causes
of this falling off in our State is, that tho dog is
found to he a more usoful and profitable animal
than the sheep, and many of our citizens prefer
those dogs that thrive the best on mutton.
Ttyo Louisville (Ky.) Courier says:— c <Tho
harvest is now nearly or quite over throughout
Kentucky, and in yield ot grain is the finest,
largest, heaviest and best ever known in this
State. The yield is not only extraordinarily large,
but tjbo quantity of ground cultivated waß far be
yond any previous season.”
Ttyo hemp in Ray county, Missouri, will, it
is stated, average over one ton to tho acre. This
is anjextraordinary yield for that section.
The Alexander Sentinel says, the first new
flour of the season came down the Orange road on
the 3lst ult.
The Newark Eagle says the farmers aro en
gaged at the present time in gathering in the har
vest,: which is everywhere plenteous. Tho copious
rains have been produotive of the heaviest hay
crop that ha? been out for years, and every other
orop with hardly an exception, promises a rich re
turn for the labors of the husbandman. The far
mers complain of scarcity of hands.
The Commissioner of Patents c* Washington has
received a letter dated Evansville, Indiana, in
which the writer states that the crops of Southern
Indiana and Southern Illinois are beyond all
precedent. The “oldest inhabitant’’ says that
nothing has been known Uko It. They are now
harvesting, and tho rust has done no damage.
Cora is late. The crops of whoat, ryo, grass and
potatoes will exceed from present appearances, all
former products.
The Payton (Ohio) Gazette gives the following
information in regard to tho crops in that section.
“The whoat south of Bay ton, and nearly all up
as high as Troy, is nearly all cut and a great deal
secured in the barn. It is, so far as we have
observed, pronounced the largest yield and best
crop ever produced in tho Miauii valley. Harvest
hands are scarce, and high prices aro obtained.
Three dollars per day has been paid, we are told,
for rakers ami binders. Tho corn crop is growing,
the farmers say, at the rate of four to six inches
per day, dopenaing upon soil and location. The
gross crop never was better, and the barley and
oat crops, vory superior to ordinary seasons. The
potato yield will be immonso, and the tobacco crop,
although later than usual, Is growing as fast and
looty bettor than we ever saw it before.”
Thp following are the principal wheat-growing
counties in Virginia, and the number of bushels
grown in eachßockingham 603,350; Loudoun
563,930; Jefferson 472,008; Augusta 419,006; Fau

The counties of Clarke and Jefforson may be
ranked as the most productive, inasmuch as the
former has only 60,274 acres of improved land, and
tho latter 81,087, whilst Rockingham has 203,530
and Loudoun 203,454 acres of like character.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
'At Wallack’s Theatre, New York, aburlesquo
upon “ Shylock,” written by Frank Talfourd,
eon of the author of “Ion,” has been pro
duced with some success. It is lively, witty,
and as full of puns as a Christmas pudding is
of currants. Tho Portia of tliispieco is Mrs.
John Wood, (duly advertised by tho manage
ment, as “the brilliant and beautiful,”) and
her husband was the Shylock. Tho other
leading parts wore, played by Mrs. Vernon,
Mr. Walcot, and Miss Manners.
Last year, during the hot months, Wallaek’s
was called “The Summer Garden”—because
thore was a banquet of artificial flowers stuck
near each gas-light, and one geranium in a
small flowc-r-pot, placed in the vestibule. —
There is also another “Garden,” in New
York, called Niblo’s, which is really a theatre,
th® attractions at which now are the Havels
and a pretty French danseuse called Teresa
Rolls.
Mr. Edward Eddy is the new lessee of the
Bowery Theatre, and likely to make it pay—
with blood-and-thundor pieces.
The pretty little theatre, opposite the Me
tropolitan Hotel, in Broadway, built by the
Buckleys, for Negro Minstrelsy, is now occu
pied by Mr. ChanlYau, with n pretty good
working company, including Mrs. C. Howard,
H. Hall, T. B. Johnson, &c. The mmiiiml
proprietor Is Mr. Thaddeus W. Meighan, a
well-known newspaper paragrapliist, whoso
Folonius, in tho amateur performance of
“ Hamlet,” at the Academy of Music, last
year, was the finest piece of burlesque ever
represented on any stage. Mr. ChanfVau’s
Theatre is “ The New Olympic,” and a lively
piece de drcomtance, called “ Olympeana,” by
Mr. Charles Gayler, has been very attractive.
A new scene, with Meighan in his original
comic character of IJolonius, would certainly
draw a large audience at any time.
Laura Keene’s Theatre will be opened on
Monday,with those clever juvenile performers,
the Marsh children.
An attempt, at Burton’s Theatre, to have
Promenade Concerts, has been a failure. The
principal attraction, a fountain of actual water
over a glacier ol real ice, amounted to no
more than the trickle of a thin thread of Cro
ton over a lump of ice (value three shillings)
about as large as a piece of chalk. Miss
Maggie Mitchell commences an engagement at 1
Burton’s on Monday. There is a report that
Signora Vestvali and an operatic company
will speedily appear at this theatre.
Mr. Stuart, lessee of Will lack’s Theatre, had
announced a series of Promenade Concerts,
under his own. management and that of Mr.
Bourclcault, to be given in the Academy of
Music. ■-'The failure of a similar speculation
at Burton’s Theatre was reported to have
frightened both of these gentlemen into an
abandonment of the speculation; but it appears
that .they commence on Thursday evening.
It jappears uncertain when the Broadway
Theatre will re-open. Rumor says that more
than one, agent is now in England selecting
performers of ability.
Little Qgrdelia Howard, having returned
from England, is now playing at Purdy’s Na
tional Theatre, with her usual success.
Mr. Oilman, who has a winter-lease of the
New York of Music, has engaged
ViouxtempSj’the violinist, to make a musical
tour through tpo United States. He has also
announced Madame Frczzolini, tho vocalist.
Unfortunatoly, When Madame La Grange was
brought over to New York, the samo Mr.
Ullman, to exalt her, advertised Frczzolini as
having a worn-out’and faded voice! Just now
his game is to exalt her, and describe her as
“the of Song.” Ac
cordingly, nearly a tolumn of the New York
Herald of last Monday contains a biography
of her, which is a charming romance. It
says:—“Her fticc is onq of study—classically
beautiful, and chiselled With a skill that shames
tho sculptor’s art; her hair juxuriant, and of
the darkest hue, and a form grand and com
manding.” It docinres that tho- Archduke
Charles was struck “in a heap” by hor be
wildering beauty at Vienna, and offeftd to
marry her right away. It rolatcs how a mys
terious Count R bought her from her
father—how he married her—how sho gave
him tho cold-shoulder at the close of the cere
mony, and bolted from tho church—how she
bought him off with tho promise of a per
centage on her earnings—and other wonderful
circumstances. Her imaginative biographer
odds, by way ot finale:— “Her duties called
her forth to fresh exertions, and once more

LOLA MONTEZ ON THE PLATFORM
The Hamilton Spectator, (Canada West) gives a
synopsis of a lecture by Lola Montez, a Beautiful
Woman. It says:—
The Hamilton Mechanics’ Hall was crowded to
its utmost capacity, by a very promiscuous assem
bly the gentlemen greatly outnumbering the
ladies present.
Considerable impatience was caused by the delay
in commencing the lecture, but when Lola appeared,
all noise was hushed in an instant; every one criti
cally soatmiug the lineaments of this celebrated
beauty. The silence was but for a moment, a burst
of applause was tho public tribute to her charms,
and was gracefully acknowledged.
Lola is a living leoture on beauty. She is an ex
ample of a beautiful woman. Her face is char
mante, especially the forehead, eyes, and nose.
Her movements are graceful in the extreme, and
tho way she handled & fan was a lesson to tne
Canadian fair. Her history is evidence of tho
power of boauty, os also, perhaps, of its (roily.
Her leoturo on Beautiful Women is open to criti
cism. It is hardly one to please a general au
dience, for its allusions cannot bo understood and
admired without a more intimate acquaintance
with the literature of ancient and modorn Europo
than is possessed by tho great majority of our popu
lation. Lola introduces most appropriately an ole
gant old story. When Nature haa given valor to
man, swiftness to tho hare, hi «s to cattle, appor
tioning to the various orcaturcs various qualities,
sho was unmindful of woman, until her supply wns
well-nigh exhausted. Then, suddonly reflecting,
sho atoned for her neglect by tho gift of beauty,
which indeed rendered woman superior to all the
othors. Lola attributes this story to Ariosto. Ari
oato’merely translated for Anacreon. A fastidious
critic would find fault with a double entendre,
where Lola speaks of tho constancy of husbands to
wives as nocosaary to ensuto that of wiveß to hus
bands.
Wo hardly think that in tho anecdote about tho
Parisian ladies bathing in milk, so minute an ac
count should have been glvon. With these excep
tions, there was nothing In the lecture to offend tho
most fastidious, while tncie was something to amuse
and a great deal to instruct. One fine passage Ac
quired additional force from tho experience of tho
speaker. She was asking wherein beauty lay.
“ Whoro,” she said, “ shall we look for this sourco
of power ? Often perhaps in n more dimple, some
timus in tho soft shadow of a drooping eyelid, or
again, beneath tho tresses of a littlo fantastic eurl.
Alas !” and she spoke it most impressively, •• Alus,
I am ashamed to think what small things will often
movo tho strongest and tho bravest of mon! Many
times in my lifo, in tho company o kings and nobles,
have I been fottcdwitb sadness to reflect on tho
words of tho sublime Milton, in which ho speaks of
woman as:
Fair, no doubt, and worthy w ell
Thy cherishing, thy honor and thy love,
Not thy subjection.
Lola oonaidorod tho English, Irish and Scotch
women to bo tho handsomest. Speaking of beau
ties, she gave the pulm to tho well-known Duohoss
of Sutherland, who moved a natural queen r.nd
was the paragon among the beautiful aristocraoy
of England,
Lady Blessington was a marvellous beauty;
Kings and noblos wore at her feot. In Italy they
called hor La Diva—thegoddess. Sho was volup
tuous, with a neck that sat on hor shouldors like
the most oharming Greek models. She had a won
derfully beautiful hand, and an oye that when it
smiled captivated all hourts. She was a far more
intellectual stylo of boauty than even tho Duchoss
of Sutherland.
The present Duchess of Wellington (when Lola
saw hor, Marchioness of Douro,) was an admirably
beautiful woman, with littleintelleot or animation.
She was a fine piece of sculpture, and as cold as u
piece of sculpture.
Tho most famously bouutiful family in England
whs tho groat Sheridan family. There wero two
sons, bo‘h, said Lolu, known to horsolf, who woro
considered tho handsomest men of their day.
Thoro wero throe daughters—the Hon. Mrs. Nor
ton, wcil-hnown on this aide of tho Atlantic,
through her poetry and her mlsfortnncs; Lady
Blackwood and Lady Seymour, the latter of whom
was tho of Beauty at tho famous Eglinton
tournumo it. Those three woro oalled the three
Graces of England.
Speaking of Fronoh beauties, Lola first praised
tho Marqui.lo de la Grange, and afterwards tho
Emptcft* Eugenie.
When Lola last saw Eugenie, she (Eugenie) was
certainly one of tho most vivacious, witty and
sprightly w omen in Paris. All tho portraits in this
country greatly oxaggeratod her site, for Eugonie
was really r. small woman. Before her marringo
with tho Emperor, and when she was tho belle of
Madrid, she evinced a high admiration for Louis
Gottsohalk, tho pianist, who, by tho way, had car
ried off, unwittingly, half a million hearts from
the United States. Eugenio caused him to bo re
ceived into tho most aristooratiofuimlicßof Madrid.
Lola then passod on to sketch the various charac
teristics of tho beauties of various countries, and
took occasion to bit Lord Brougham (although we
fancy we have heard the conceit before. The Con
stantinopolitan Indies, with whom corpulency whs
beauty, would, sho said, have elioited from that
polished gallant theoxclamation, “whatquantity."
Lola decried ail cosmotics. Sho recommended
threw things—temper&nco, exercise, and cleanliness
as preservatives of beauty. The bath, she said'
which was universal everywhere but in Britain and
America, was tho best “ wash that could be desired,
although indeed it wns mentioned that tincture of
benzomo, precipitated by water, was used by the
beauties of Charles 11. ’a reign, and really brought
blood to the surface. Bran might bo advantage
ously used in connection with the bath. A well
cultivated mind was that which gavo not only
eloouenco to the tongue, but lustre to tho oye, ver
milion to the ,cheek, and lighted up the whole
person os though tho very body thought. Lola
moralised muoh and well, and when in this vein
drew forth tbo heartiest applause.
Perhaps wo may bo thought byporcritieal, if we
say her utterance is too uniformly slow. Her voico
is sweet, yet without sufficient strength, and her
delivery would be charming if, there were a little
t variety In the rate of speaking. The lively
passages should bo spoken more “ tripping on the
tongfao,”

TMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT—N E W
A GAS CONSUMING FURNACE.—CIIILSON’S NEW
CONK FURNACE, after having been put to the most
severe test, during the two cold wistkrs of 1856 and
1857, has proved to be the most powerful heater in the
world, savirgteom % to # the fuel over any of the best
furnaces now in use. Tikis Fdrxaoes are constructed
with a cart iron ash pit, and a broad, shallow pan,
shaped fire pot, lined with fire-brick or iron staves. The
(Ire pot ia surmounted with a ssriis or Coxes, or taper
ing radiators, large and broad at their baao, but taperin J
to small apertures at the top, and uniting with the anu
iar chamber, through which the heat and smoke pass to
the due. Tug whole products of combustion in the
form of smoke and gases, aro suspended directly over
the fire, conpinkd or compressed into the tapering Cones
and continually exposed to the direct action of the
rays of heat and light from the fire.
This heat and light ia brought to a focus In each
Conk, not unlike the collection op toe Sun’s ray's, to
a focal point through an ordinary lens, cauaingthe smoke
and oases to become intensely heated and thoroughly
consumed, by this operation the smoke and oases are
UADU EQUALLY AVAILABLE with the FUEL ITSELP for
heating purposes, while, In other furnaces, it is carried
OFF AND WASTED IN THE CHIMNEY.

No. 26 Bouth FOURTH Street, Philadelphia.—TßUTH
IS MIGHTY, AND MUST PREVAIL!
Report of the Committee appointed to Superintend the
Hunting of tkt Iron Softs at Reading, February
27 M, 1857: Reading, March 4tb.
The undersigned, members of the committoe, do re
spectfully report, tliat we saw the two Safes originally
agreed upon by Parrels A Herring and Ev.\ns A Watson,
placed side by aide in a furnace, vlt: the Safe in use by
the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company, in his office at Reading, manufactured
by Parrels A Herring, and the Safe in use byU.A.
Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans A Watson,
axd put in books and papers precisely alike.
The lire was started at 8& o’clock, A. 31., and kept
up until four cords of green hickory wood, two cords of
dry oak and half chestnut-top wood were entirely con
sumed. the whole under the superintendence of the
subscribers, members of the committee. The Safes
wero then cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, and the books and papers taken out by the
committee and sent to H. A. Lantz’s store, for public
examination, after they were first examined and marked
by the committee. The books and papers taken from
the Safe manufactured by Evans A Watson were bat
slightly affected by the inteuse heat, while those taken
from the Safe manufactured by Farrels A Herring were,
in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more
than those taken from Evans A Watson’s Safe.
We bellevo the above to have been a fair and impar
tial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.

Having been absent during the burning, we fully
coincide with the abo>e statement of the condition of
the papers and books taken out of the respective Safes.
