Tun rum AnTs.—There has seldom, Korot, been a collection of expensive engravings of such dlstingillshed merit offered at public sale in this country, as that now being arranged by Mr. A. S. Robinson at his rooms, No. 910 Ohestnut street. Brom the short examination we have mode of them, we are not prepared to give a critical notice, but shall refer to them again prior to the day of sale, which is announced in oar Advertising columns. There are seve ral pieces in th s collection that have obtained a world wide reputation for their respective authors Among these we may Instance the Waterloo Banquet, at Apsloy House; June 1, 1830, which is without doubt one of the most magnificently engraved pictures in the world The history of the event immortalized is this work of art will be readily brought to mind by many of our readers. The Iron Duke is represented in the attitude of delivering hie speech on that °melon, amid the brilliant throng of seated guests, whilst Immediately in front of him on the banquet table is displayed the magnificent gift with which the Duke of Wellington was presented on thit occasion by the allied sovereigns, said to have cost the enormous sum of three millions of dollars. A colored engraving of "Napoleon's last Re view "ds a superb piece of art, end fa itself worthy of being made the eabject of normal hours' examination. Many more tare and valuable things which it would be superfluous for us to extol, might be named in this tonnection such, for example, ate E. Landeter's two great Deer Pictures ; Naulbach's Destruction of /ern. salemaproof impression on India paper ; VAnnonci ation ; Evangiline ; Marie Antoinette, and a score of others. FOR CHILVIIIIN OF 'A LAUOEK GROWTH.—" A child le eager to have tiny toy he sea, but throws it away at the eight of another, and Is eager to have that. We are moat of us children through life, and only change one toy for another, from the cradle to the grave.", Hence we should be careful to select such $ 4 rays as are useful as well as ornamental, and as this is the season for presents to old and young, we would suggest as a suitable gift any one of the many superior articles of clothing, offered at prices in accord ance with the times, by the great clothier Granville Stokes, No 607 Chestnut street. " Tee earth has bubbles as the water has, And those are of them " whose excessive vanity induces them to believe that, however well formed the person, they can appear to advantage In a coarse, ugly, ill.fitting snit of clothes. We know of hut one establishment In the city, where line fabrics, beautiful etyles, and perfect tits are the eharacteriatics; and that Is the fashionable emporium of Oliftott, Albright, & Co., " Jayne's Hall," No. 627 Chestnut Street. Mr.Johu N. Albright, who has charge of the cutting department, is the oldest and most ex perienced cutter in'the 'United States. THE BEST KIRD- 1 6F A CHRISTMAS GlFT•—There In great diversity of opinion as to what constitutes the most appropriate Obristmm, gifts For our own part, we go for the clam of articles which blends the useful and the ornamental. For inetance, for a youth nothing could be more Judicious than anew suit from the'Brown Stone Clothing Hall of &mishit' & Wilson, Nos, fon and 005 Chestnut street, above Sixth. R. & W. keep a vast attiortmeht of garments for both gentlemen and youths. A CHRISTMAS PRESBNT FOR NOT/HMO—Those who buy books of G. G. Evans, at his Gift Store, No. 333 Chestnut street, get a gift for nothing, as with every purchase of a dollar and upwards is furnished some article of Jewelry or silver•ware, coal or flour, worth from twenty-five centsup to ono hundred dollars. A pleasant surprise to got a lever watch worth one hun dred dollars for a dollar; and yet the thing is quite a common occurrence at Xrans's. A Brum PonxvEn.—Many a young man has Made a fair lady his friend forever by sending a Christ mas present of confectionary, white many have thus paved the way for love and marriage. Those of our more ardent readers, who wish to try their luck in this way, should be sure to patronize good confectioners like E . 0. Whitman & Co., Second street, below Chestnut. Messrs. W. & Co. have a superb stock, and It Is most in vitingly arranged. stoves We have never seen a liner assort ment of gloves than are to be found at B. 0 Walborn & Co's., Nest and 7 North Sixth street. They are selling them very low, moreover, as indeed everything in their line stock of gentlemen's furnishing goods. Vent' RECIIERCIIE.—Potry tk Brother's table d'hote, at four o'clock, is one of the sensations of the •day. Our friends u•ho dine there speak of the whole thing as eminently recherche. There are several courses, and they are served in true Parisian style. Those who ant wine can get a good bottle of Berme or St. Julien for fifty cents, The Petry's are connoisseurs in tholes, eating. FroM soap to dessert their dishes eloquently proclaim the fact. oo ... 500 ... 200 ... 200 .. 726 BitAmu PLATfin W.etitB.—We take great pleasure in calling the attention of our remis' to the extensive establishment of Meyer h Warne, No. 701 Chestnut at. Their unique and beautiful patterns of American silver, an article greatly superior, in every reepect, to the common Britannia or plated ware, is now attracting great attention. It has a brigLt,ebatT l clean cut look, a clear silver ring; it is much harder, and cannot be bent or dented; it is not easily affected by heat; end astly, is sold fully as cheap as the common kind not 'possessing its superior qualities, Messrs. M. & W. have magnificent butter dlehes, tea seta, ice pitchers, goblet', caps, and, to fact, every article in their line, of beauti ful patterns and designs, and finished with exquisite taste. The prices will suit all pockets just now, which It/milli an item worth considering. Importations. [Reported ter The Press.
