" Inimitable JEiioJ-of whom it may be truly said “ None but blmselftcan bo hisparaUol,” dooa not escape the )vhlps of indignant news papers. The New Forfc Tribune calls him “ tho best-whipped man.in'the country,” as indeed ho is, just now; Tho New Yortc Times, also inclined to bo complimentary, notices his ban ishment—we moan appointment—to Vienna, aitd says:« Mr. Jones has no doubt all requi site‘qualifications fortho place; but it is not od'tbpt account ho has been soloctod. If the people of his district Bad not rejected him at ’tfie recent election, the President would hardly 'hafd’Mjide a Minister of him.' There may be a'jiiil'orenco of opinion on the question, who-; trier a popular condemnation, sjiould bo an im porativo , paasport to Executive favor. But according to tho ,lau;s of, latter-day. politics, Mr. BuoiiANaj? was bound to take care of a .friend maimed and crippled in his service, and he has dono it not only promptly, but, as the Union' assures us,‘ voluntarily.’ ” ■ ' ■' Ex-Reyorond Jehu has, evidently got tho place on Dogberry’s principle of boing << tho moßtdesartless man.” Not that be desorved it,' or' that be desorved any, thing but tho soundj disoomßtnre ho has, got from “Old Berks.” .Ho is made Ambassador, simply because the people of his orvn county, whom he had.betrayed, ; had>lost .all confidence) in him, and dosired to punish tho traitor.

In that case, . candidates will go in—-to be whipped. Anteus llke, each beaten man will rise stronger from the fall which mode him kiss bis mother earth. The lower the fall, under the new system, the greater the reward and honor from the hands of the . Executive. This is a strange world, and not the least strange thing in it is, that want of merit has become a qualification for office. fa^tffi' khjM^W&ssb. - uit*nr>i^mw ;•{” < f Lot us fancy Mr. Jehu G. Jones at tho Court bf Vienna, conversing (through tho medium of . an interpreter) with tho Prime Minister.' What if that functionary asks him what, special. services towards the United, States recommended, him to the high diplo-. matin office of Ambassador to Austria, what reply can-he stammer ont ? Shall he say, «I did-littlo as a clergyman, and less as a lawyer, ao J tu'rhed politician, being what is familiarly called '(rather hard hp.’ I porsuaded the true men of Berks coui)ty,flia Pennsylvania, that I would serve ffiem'iaitbtuhy. • They believed mo, and re turned me tOf Congrossi Very speedily, by a miraculous process ofton practised at Wash ington by legislative Mieawbers, I emerged from humble into wealthy circumstances.

I voted against tho Sovereignty of the. People, which I was elected to support;'and, finally, returning hack to seek re-oloction from my constituents, was defeated;”- 1 • The Austrian Count, if he has any taste for hnmor, may' smile, while he says, «Ah, Monsleur l’Ambassademyl perceive yon owe your appointment hore to your unfortunato disappointment- at home ( Von come from a strange country, whore, because a county, kicks yon, the Government elevates you to high office.: They say, in fact, that because yonr own ' neighbor's, Who' kniw you well, think yon unfit to represent them in Congress, you ’are'jnst fit to represent your nation at a Foreign Court.” ...How his Excellency,the Ambassador, will .receive suoh a taunt as this—whioh may ho lookod as well as spoken—wo leave to the lively . imagination of onr readers. What the Empe !ror of'Austria will think of a man sont to his Court,'becanso he was a defeated candidate for' Congress, may also be' it matter for specu lative, minds to exercise their sagaoity upon. Opco thst the particulars of his appointment bo, .known! at Vienna, as known they will be .long, ere .his « Excellency the Minister Resi dent” reach, his destination, a contemptuous feeling will probably bo created, which will make any thing but a bed of roses fer tho amia ble and illustrious Jkuu. Not even tho salary by such a left-handed.compliment as Bonding tp her Court, the very proudest in Europe, a gentleman witb such unhappy and notorious .antecedents as Hr. Jehu Q. Jones. For the Ambassador is considered the representative of the Sovereign, who is supposed to repre sent tho nation. In Europe they are cautious on whom they place sueh honor and responsi bility. They select tbeir ablest statesmen, or persons who,havo literally, been trained up to official- diplomacy. 5 When - Queen VictobiA had to send .an Ambassador to. ‘Washington, after thg Crampton coolness bad cleared away, she dfi not pay tbis countrysopoor'acom plimont as to appoint a .broken-down political hack, upon whom his immediate feilow-oiti zens had put the -hand'of rejection and dis missal.. She eoiected a .man of high ability ,md unimpeachod public reputation, who had boon in harness, as a diplomatist, sinco tho ago of twenty-one, and. had successively been Secretory of Legation at Maples, St. Petorsburgi’ and' Constantinople, before he was invested with the higher functions of Am bassadop.'

It was bad enough for him to bo turnbd out of “ old Berkß,” but tho un kindeat’eut is his banishment to Austria, of ail place's in'the woflii, where ho may calculate upon a « civil knt cool”, reception.

They reason like tbe 'empiric who thought that as pork and cabbage, had made' his patient sick, plenty more of pork and cabbage would re store' hint to health. The American people have had too much to nauseate them. They are surfeited with Lecompton'tests and Eng- USh-blll finalities.

It Is seriously mentioned that tho Administration is not indisposod to work'the Southern fire-eaters, like Sprattand the followersof the Oharieston Mer cury, (an avowedly disunion organ,) up to tho highost pitoh of intensity and Bedlam ism, prior to, and in. preparation for, the meeting of Congress. A hope is entertained that some suoh talk as that whioh Clay and Webster, and Douglas,and, Crittenden, laughed to soorn, iu 1850, may intimi date the timid of the North to falter in their opposition to the Leoompton folly. Already have the Mercury and kindred sheets raised the cry of Northern aggression, because, forsooth, the anti- Leqompton-Demoorats appealed to their people that the, Territories should deoide for themselves the obaraoter of their own looal institutions, and were sustained upon that fair platform .It is a stale triok. Journals liko the Riohmond Enqui rer talk right out the language of wisdom and soberness 1 regardless of the senselesß bluster of those who are jealous that any should seek, with out their approval, the development and prosperity of any Southern State. And again are raised nul lification threats in view of a remodelled tariff system., Jackson put down this movement in his day—certainly his Demoorsoy Is unquestioned— and the people supported him; and now, as -then, those threats are mado by those only who are re ally and truly opposod to tho Democratic party. Thero are to be immense rejoicings hero over the appointment by the President of Glandy Jones to Austria. Plinn, the navy agent, and a horde of are to ereet a triumphal aroh at the gates of tho city, I suppose, and to greet him with shouts of applause, to whioh those of the Pratorian Guards of Ro me would be a whisper, as ho passes through on his way to participate in another of the apioian feasts at tho Whit© House. May hlB di gestion be stupendous! Beoauso Johu bas boen rewarded for his treaohery to his constituents, it would seem that some of the Congressmen running for re-oleotion in New York and elsewhore are determined to go to the very vorgo, in the hope that after thoir defeat (whioh is certain) they will likewise be remembered by tbe powers that are. Vain Illusion! The defeated now ten to one outnumber the golden places of banishment. Tho departments exhibit great liveliness in the preparation of matter for the reports of the Seore taries. Congress, doubtless, will be flooded with statistics and oaloulatlons ingeniously intermin gled and confused from the Treasury. Only the other day the Union and Star published, evi dently by authority, statements of the receipts and expenditures of Che Post Offioe Department, whioh left the impression, if they were not in tended so to do, that whilst the receipts wore $7,000,000 the expenditures were only $3,000,000. In them, of oourse, were, not iooludod ocean-mail contracts and other items. The fact is that the expenditures will considerably ontreaoh the re ceipts. There are all manner ef rumors abroad brought by the last European and California malls. We bear that the Central and South American States are beginning to got their houses in order for tbe expeoted visit of tho Paraguay Expedition to their shores, after Lopei has been chastised. It is stated that Frenoh influence is strongly predo minant in Dominion undor the new rule of Santana, and that we are to get the cold shoulder because we did not help the“ Liberator,” as he is oalled, when he was attempting to depose Baes. We are to have no coal station there for our steamers. Cuba officials are delighted with the brush that is to take place with Mexico, and would not care much if there was a round between Spain and the States.' We would then— we, << the Republio of the United States of North America ” —reoeive the trouncing we deserve, for would not England and France, and God knows how many others, help ? Bat there is nothing in them thatl oan perceive. The bold acknowledg ment of the Monroe dootrino by Gen. Cass, and the resolution,with whioh it has been pursued, more than ever seoures for us in our relations upon this continent the respect and deference of the other controlling nations of the worlds ts?° Yesterday, we devoted an hour, pleasantly enough, to a minute examination of the beautifal white marble store, in Choßtnut street, nearly op posite the Girard House, whioh Messrs. James E. Caldwell & Co. will open on next Monday, with a large‘ ‘and splendid stook of jewelry, plate, watohes, and artioles of vertn. _ This truly splendid store has been erected from plans by Mr. John MoArtirar, Jr., architect, and built by Mr. John Rloo, the owner. We have had occasion, within the last twolve months, to notioe several now and splendid edi fices on Chestnut street, ereoted for the purposes of trade. Among those most prominently figure the stores of L. J. Levy & Co.. Thomas w liti ifn'rrnnii—'i, oompeiowita any, wiin.au or these. They are all 100 a tod noar each other, and, Indeed, the creotion of tho magnificent new hotel (whioh we are glad to see so rapidly rising In the world, add ing story to story, like a brilliant author) has a tendency to oolleot first-class stores about it. Caldwell's has a Tory handsome exterior. Tho marble-cutter has done a groat doal to omamont it, and has done it with grace and eleganco. The external appearanoe, rich in florid adorn ments, Is beautifal. When completed, it will not havo a suporior in the country,—and we hero have to sthte, in the most distinct terms, that there are numerous seoond-olass stores In various oHies over this Union whioh are superior to the finest build ings, for like purposes, in Regent street, in Lon don, or in the Boulevard des Italiens, in Paris. Whatever is fine in the London stores is— stucco! The interior of Caldwell’s is in kooping with the fair ontsido. All tho wood-work Is of walnut. The floor is marble. The walls ars ndornod with fresco paintings by Mr. Kaiser. Towards the end of tbe store there iB a splendid doable stair-onse, copied from the stair-oases in tbe prinooly palaoos of . Italy, (and particularly those of oharmod and qbarming Venice,) with a double line of steps, up to tbe scoond story, which, in faot, forms n gor geous gallery, over whioh are three domes, the sides of whioh are glass, while the top, whioh alone is visible to the spootutor on tho first Door, repre sents the clear asure, studded with golden stars. They reminded us of Jossioa’s pretty speech about “the sky inlaid with patfnes of bright gold.” These domes, by a meohanical prtftess, whioh a ohild’s strength may work, oan bo instantane-. oasiy and simultaneously closed up by a stout iron sheet whioh effectually prevents any marauding attempts at ontranoe through the Immensely thiok glass sides. The end of the second stoiy, on tbe street, Is tbo watchmaking and engraving department. Over head, in a splendid room, whioh is reaohed by a geometrical stalroaße, the jewelling and light work of. Messrs. Caldwell’s eoneorn will be done. Tbo, heavy work will bo continued, for the firm, in their old manufactory, “downtown.” Bank of the second story is a room, with a bath, for tho accommodation, of the young men, assist ants in the establishment. A library, for tbeir use, will be instituted, and we regard this as n very fine feature in this splendid establishment. There are scores of notioosble things in this establishment, which we are compelled to pass by —leaving to others the labor ef orawling over de tails ; of giving the length of this, tho breadth of that, and the cost of the other. VTe must not eonolude without a spooial re ference to one of tho greatest embellishments in his store—we mean the Ifgbtlng arrangements by Cornelius & Baker, who have attained great celebrity as true artistes in tbis respeet. All the ohandeliors and catadelcbrsi are entirely on suite. Jftronse is tbe material, and middie-ago Is ‘the 'design, all through. Evory thing in tbis department is wrought in the armorial manner, and the whale exactly aooords with tbe general obnraeter of tbe other fittings-up—or rather they are subsidiary to it. Tbo ohandoliere and oande lebra in the front store are light and graceful, yet tbe material gives thorn an appearance of solidity whioh well aooords with bll the rest of that de partment on whioh they are destined to threw a great deal of light. There are prinolpal ohandaliers of groat beauty, and ten large oandelebras on tho gallery railing, each with five lights. At foot of tho staircase are branso oopies of the oelebrated statues of the In dian and tho Hunter, whioh Cornelius & Baker made for tho Capitol at Washington, and (“ to what base uses do we oome, Horatio?”) are uncon soionsly supporting gas-burners. On tho stairs lauding,we notioed a eouplo of fine armorial brack ets. Nothing oan be more dolioate, and express tvs (if wo may nse the word) than the trophted or namentation of tbo gallery lights. The mailod eavalieri surrounded with various warlike weapons, and eooh with n bugle in hand, as If oalllng for immediate aid—liko James Flts- James 'in » Tho liady of tho Lake”—surpass most things of the sort wo have over seon. Cor nelius and Baker, wo nre told, were wholly loft to their own taete in famishing thoßo lights, without any limit os to oost. Thoyhavo done tho work well. After tho store is fully opened, perhaps we may ro-vlslt it, and .communioate our Ideas of it to a grateful olrole of many readers.

[Correspondence of The Press.] The Republicans and Americans held, last evening, la the Park, what for a few days post has been „ adver tised a&d posted throughout the city as a.Union meet ing against the Democracy. The call was For five o’clock, but at that hour nobody was present excepting a few ragged boys, who took possession of the platform and went through a series of graceful gymnastics, such as are peculiar to scamps of small dimensions, it was not until six o’oloekthat the meeting began to comraenco, and It then became evident that it had scarcely strength enough to go alone. The Herald calls it a failure; the Tribune devotes a page to the speeches and doings, but says: “No measures were taken by the Committee to have the intended demonstration properly announced, and at the hour for which the meeting was called scarcely a hundred persons were In the Park.” if it Is to be ta ken as any indication of the anti-Democratlo strength or enthusiasm, it was a pitirul failure. Tbe fact can hardly be denied, that 'tho thorough organisation of the Democracy, and the want of it on tbe part of the Opposition, must result In a Democratic success. Suoh is the prevailing Impression among intelligent men of all sorts. The Brooklyn people are moviog in earnest for an opera house or muslo hall, and in that work have the benefit of clergy. At a large meetingheld last evening) letters were read from the Rev. Henry Ward Beectaer and the Rev! Mr. Storm, and speeches were made by the Bev. Messrs. Parley, Kennedy, and MoKee, in favor of tbe enterprise. The cost ef the edifice is to bo $136,000. The Brooklyn people are also about to erect another edifice, at a oost of $175,000, to accommodate the orowds who (look to hear the Rev. Ward Beeoher. The trial or Dr. Galllardet for a murderous assault on Ur. Cranston, of the New York Hotol, terminated yesterday-In a conviction. When the jury pronounced the verdiot, Madame Galllardet, who sat by her hus band, went into hysterics, and produced a most un. comfortable scene for-all who were present. He will be sentenced to-morrow. The Court of Appeals have ordered a new trial in the Oanceml oase, attributable to the persistence and talent of a Philadelphia lawyer—Mr. Ashmead. - I am glad to note in TA< Press tho great hit xnkdtr by Park Benjamin, by his new lecture on Social Life in America. Ur. Benjamin’s name, who happen) to be long to no clique, is not ventilated in the papers ef this city as much as some of the favorites of the Tribune, but his lectures here have nofer failed to be attended by very large audiences. He speaks several times each winter, before various associations. Eor our Mechanics* Society—the richest incorporated body of the kind here, and, I believe, in the country—Mr. Benjamin is regu larly engaged every season j and, while other lectures have failed to attract numbers, I. am credibly informed that at his lectures last season more people went away from their hall, unable to find entrance, than were ad mitted. The action of the Republican Convention of the Ninth Congressional district—declining to nominate a candi date against Mr. Gaskin, and recommsnding the Repub lican electors to vote for him—together with a similar action on the part of the American Convention, serin* to leave tho course pretty muoh clear for that gentle man. Two years ago Mr. H., as the regular Democratic candidate, received 7,105 votes to 6,035 for Strang,;Be publican, and 6,094 for Cobb, American. If.he can combine the American and Republican vote, there is no reason why his majority should not touch 4,000. A prediction that his majority would be at least that, was made yesterday in my.presence, by one of the most de cided Administration men in the elty. Tbe olty authorities have put a foree ot sixty men at work to dear the ruins of the Crystal Palace. A con elderable portion of machinery will be saved, together with a vast quantity of Iron. When gathered together It will be sold at anctlon, and probably realize $30,000 or $40,000. It Is rumored that the American Institute la melting an effort to obtain a long lease of the ground from the city, to rear upon it a permanent building Tor exhibitions. The revelations growing out of the supposed murder at the gambling hell, in Broadway, opposite the Metro politan Hotel, are rousing the blood of the people against the gangs of blacklegs that infest the city. ‘‘ Vigilance Committee ” is a phrase frequently heard. The opinion is generally prevalent that a murder-has been committed, and the description given of the sup posed victim leads to tbe belief that a Mr. P. B. Mid dleton, of Goahen, Orange county, N. Y. t is the mur dered man. He came to tho city about the first of September, to draw a oheok for $2,700; since which time nothing has been heard ef him. The fighting-talk consequent upon the Heenan and Occasional. Morrissey “ mill” has subsided as suddenly as it began. The brutal contest is everywhere spoken of in most contemptuous terms. By the way, the first ring-fig&t on record in this country was between the father of Thoa. Hyer abdh man named Tom Beasely. They fought as early as the year 1816, Hyer senior losing by an ac oldent, through which he broke hfa arm. Both were large, powerful men. Tom Hyer, who bet largely on Heenan, announced last evening at Butt Allen I*, 1 *, In Broadway, that he was prepared to fight and “ lick Morrissey,” or any man In the world, for $lO,OOO. Thomas is a considerable loser on the “ Benlola,” as are other well-known sporting men ,* one bold gambo lier having lost $5,000 and another $3,000. , The next excitement for Gotham is the Horse Bhow, to commence on Monday next on Long Island.

We gave yesterday a pretty cor rect general outline of tbe articles deposited; and have ; time to-day bat for % few special notices of objects or week° Btj ‘ * h * n ** exten,i «d during the coming Among the articles, on. exhibition possessing what strikes ns as peculiar merit, is the hair car spring, manu factured by Messrs. A. B. Davit A 00. ifor the Oar Company- These springs, which have been Hatirsactorilr tested upon the Beading and Pennsylvania Central roads, are manufactured out or ordinary tan yard hair, first formed into 1 sheets of hair felt; and after being subjected to a heavy pressure are encased “ Sr ° n oands, of some twelve inohes diameter, render if i hera SecWedly superior to the ordinary gnm or ftfW " prtn K» either for csr springs, passenger or springs °r bumpers. Their superiority thelrßitapMcity and economy, costing from 25 t 036 per cent, less than the eliptio or steel spring. while m durability there la an additional superiority of some 25 per cent, at least. The supply is inexhaustible, while Worn tho very principle possessed by the material «ich single hair possessing an inexhaustible elas ticity, there is no pomumUty of matting, and under tho severest pressure subject to no expansion, but retain ing tboJr free spring and rebouod. Use wilt but soften them; BoweathercanafTectthemj tlie severity or win ter, which is bo tryiDg to gum and eliptle springs, has no contracting or expanding influence, and their dura bility is durability itself. We have seen them tested upon cars, and by a single sprlrg under a leverage of about one ton, and feel oonvluoed that they are destined to almost universal use upon railroads, while the prin ciple is equally applicable to other things. The spring is commanding the attention of the scientific and prac tical visiter to the Institute, and receives unqualified endorsement. The points claimed for' the article by the patentees are, greater durability, cheapness, and a pleasanter motion, it beiog a more perfect absorbent of jar than any othsr spring in use, while It is entirely uoaffectod by changes'of temperature, and therefore suited to all climates. Another object of interest is the railway telegraph, patented October 6th, 1858, for the purpose of prevent ing collisions on railways, deposit'd by Mr. Henry Maule, Pine street, which Is in operation every evening from 7to 10# o’clock. By laying a sectional telegraph of any desired length, around a curve, across a bridge, or on any dangerous part of the road, the trains run ning over the road are placed In telegraphio connec tion—the alarm being Bounded on the train, either from the station or from the.train approaching In an opposito direction, thus avoiding collisions or accidents. Another collection of Interest is that of Strong & Roe*’* patent scales, embraoing seven d-fferent sites of platform aud capacity, from six tons to Tout hundred P£ u pds. 8 T l eat peculiarly of their construction is that the hay scales require no pit, which in many cases costs as much as the scales. In addition to their relia. bllity in point of accuracy, and their durability, they are simple; indeed, we do notsee how they could be rooreso. They are consequently cheap, and are guard ed by a peculiar device from.sudden shocks, so that heavy weights can be rapidly trundled on and off the platform without any liability to disarrange the appa ratus. So accurately are the larger aoales balanced, that after weighing five tons they will weigh one hund red or fifty pounds accoiding to the strictest test of the smaller scales, whilst a test,of single and aggregate weights may be compared without variation. The prin ciple was patented by the above gentlemen, of Brandon, Yt., in 1850, and the scales are manufactured by Messrs. 3. A F. B. Howe, of Brandou Tork, Tbe mothodof its construction gives free movement to the parts, in all directions, without frietion, and yet keeps | them all iD proper plaee; the, use of check-rods is also . unnecessary, for the platform does' not rest rigidly upon i tho knife edges, consequently there can be no shock or wear. Tho display, by Messrs. Cornelius A Baker,of chan deliers, lamps, Ac., of every conceivable she, pattern, and style, is one upon which the visiter’s eye will rest with more than passing interest, for their assortment is certainly a magnificent one, and reflects great credit upon our oity workmanship and enterprise. Among the array of photographs, the display or Mr. B. F. Beimor will rivet the attention. There are photographs in oil, which are taken on canvas and colored with oil color, combining the advantages of an oil painting and a photograph If we mistake not, ; they must supersede portrait painting, as tbe ptoture is taken by the camera and Is therefore perfect as' a likeness The process nf making them life size is «□-’ tirely new, and is peculiar to Mr. Reimer’g establish ment. Any size picture can he taken from tbe same negative, from a visiting card to life size. Tbe photo-- grnph visiting cards are a novelty, and are regarded with especial interest. 1 But we have not the space to particularize farther at present. The machinery room presented a math more ' lively appearance than previously, a great amount of It 1 being in operation with its magic powers, and ail driven ‘ by tho immense engine of Messrs Morris, Tas-' i ker, ft. Oo Of the machinery, a ihlDgle machine, called tho Ne Pius Ultra, attracted most attention, whilst la operation, by its astonishing performances. A number of other machines will , be operated to-day, including i corn-ahellers, pnmps,engines, etc., which will make the shed one of the moat lively scenes ever presented within so small a space. We were struck with one pe culiarity here; that eo large a proportion of the visiters, Including ladies, should have found In this' room, among the rough and power-producing machinery, more attraction than in the other departments, where there was so muoh that is beautiful and strange. But tbe human mind leves to contemplate the grand and power ful, and there Use much that is grand in the machine ry which plies its powers by tbe aid of a little steam, that wo do not wonder that even timid women should be enchanted. The Closing Day of the Week—Satur p dat in tiir Country and Saturday in tub Oity.—Ba r turday has always been with ns, at least while in the oountry, as it doubtless Is with other people, a sort of holiday—one which'we looked forward to. wherever , and in whatever condition, with more or less of plea sure. In our youthful days we honored Saturday be ! cause it brought with us a cessatlon from study, remov ; od the master’s birch from before our eyes, and was a day on which oar infantile footsteps might he directed in whatever quarter suited us best.
