lars of each ease, which the steward shall sign on
delivery of theArtioles to him. All examinations
Of female paupers shall be made by a female.

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.

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.
