We aro too apt to look for . and to nook instances of such advances in value beyond the bounds of ' our own beautiful city, which, after all, has in the past, and will in the !titan, in all probability, present as many marked instances of the in crease of the Value of real estate as any other portion of the world. Wnwere surprised the other day to hear, incidentally, that a build. ing, but a abort distance from our publication office, which now yields an annual rent of about $B,OOO, was rented for years by a gen tleman now living, and not very.old, for $250 per annum; of another property, in Walnut street, which was bought, not a great many Years ago, for $4,500, and now rents for a great deal more than that sum; of a piece of land in the outs'kirt's of the city, which was bought less than thirty years ago for about $lB,OOO, which is now worth half a million of dollars. Hundreds of similar cases aro known to almMit every old Philadelphian. But we hear little or nothing of them in -the news papers. , There is More said, even in our own Journals, of the growth of Cincinnati or Chi cago, or New York, or St. Louis, than of our - own city. We happened casually to -look at the census of 1880 the other day, and found the population of Philadedind.: county at that It is now_mori..iaon 600,006.- It has more than trlpintfin had than thirty 'years. If it should advance in tho same ratio during the next thirty years, it would then amount Co two millions of souls. The present prosperity of our city rests upon a far more stable and secure foundation than any other American city. Its natural position is more eligible and its advantages more valuable and Permanent than those of any other city. Its manufacturing pre-eminence is establish ed upon a basis that can never be shaken, and its'superior advantages for commercial inter coUrse with the great West and with the South are of incalculable value. The man who has the means to invest in real estate in this city and who Can afford to await future events can nowhere find a better speculation than buying Philadelphia city property at its present rates. The furore for Western speculation has de clined. The days for, twenty and twenty-five per cent, interest on money have passed, and it . Will be some years before they can return. Good 'mortgages at six per cont. aro in demand, and' are readily purchased at par. We learn that in other cities many of those who went to distant points "cc after wool, and returned home shorn,'' aro gathering in what ever they can realise ,of their fortunes, and investing it in real estate, where their pro perty can be under their own eyes, and whore they can always personally superintend it. The late construction of Passenger Railways has so important and beneficial an effect upon ,the property in -the - outer districts of the city that at any ordinary time it would give rise to a very active movement in real estate. And severe oath° panic of 1857 was, the revival of business sure to speedily occur, the abun dance of money, and the craving for invest ments which _already exists, cannot ' fail to lead, at a very early day, to many extensive real-estate operations. , Those who aro most familiar with such suLbjecti aro already no ticing this tendency, and are preparing to reap advantages from it in the future. That portion of the newspaper press which rejoices over the triumph of Senator SOuorAs, and yet condemns the manner in which he conducted his campaign, and especially his position to the Administration of the General Goveinment, pays no compliment to the great statesman himself. Nor will Its half-hearted course relieve it fl.om the censure of the' President. • Ono of these oommentators states the positton'of the class when jt says:- (i We disapprove of tho personal position assumed by him [Judge Donor : mg in his late canvass', and haye no hesitationin cipressing our con demnation, of the manner in which that canvass was 'conducted." Now, ' we have no :hesitation" in saying that "his personal position," and'" the manner in which the canvass was conducted," did more to help him through than 'anything else. What was "his personal position?" That of a bravo man assailed by a corrupt Administration for standing by a sacred principle. And how was "the canvass conducted 1" With more abi lity, copsistency, and vigor—with more good results to the mils of truth—and with more thoroughness, than any campaign in the his— tory of polities. His " position " was iden tical, and indissolubly interwoven, with the giant principle for which he fought, and he " conducted the campaign" by the polar star of this principle. It was his 4( personal posi tion," and themanner in which he "conducted the campaign," that won for him the hearts of the People. It was this that gave him the triumph. It is, then, a most questionable tri bute to his integrity and to his ability—to his course and, to his services—to, exclude these consideratiensin an article rejoicing over his success. Had that' sort of help been ex tended to , him before his election, it would have been the best aid and comfort to his ene mies. Indeed, the Washington Union said nearly as much when it was most violently as sailing him. To indulge in this kind of com mendation, after he has won the race, will neither rescue those who resort to it from the contempt of the Administration, which they thus try to deceive, nor from the ridicule of those whom, after having opposed, they seek, in the hour of success, to conciliate.

Democracy in England, The mall steamer Aria, from LiverpOol on the 80th ult., and at New York yesterday, brings .three days later news., The money market was, easy from the abundance of mo ney. _ This, however, cannot be said to indi cate prosperity. It shows either that there are few outlets for the profitable employMent of espital, or that the business which requires discounts, as most extensive business does, is In a slack condition. Consols, however, re main steady, with a slight tendency down wards. They still are nearly 8 per cent., higher :Than when Lprd PALMEASTON qUittea office in the Spring. All the markets—cotton,. provision, produce, , and grain—show declining prices. , , Two subjects agitated the 'public mind; In England; when 'the dltta sailed. These are Mr. Sinaloa programme of Parliamentary Reform, and a rumor (probably Originating with the threatened visit of au Irish• Amer ican regiment to Ireland) that a new secret Society, for • seditious purposes, supposed to derive, inspiration and funds from the United States, was rapidly spreading over Ireland; one principle of the new organization being a resolution among the members not to commu nicate their plans to the priests. We discuss this' matter first. ' It is unlikely that now in Ireland, after some years of improvement, which has greatly aug mented its prosperity and developed its re= Sources, any Secret Society of the charatar mentioned should start up. The changes whiCh have taken place in e Ireland, since the Encumbered Estates . ' Act of 1849 began the, good work of substituting a real fora pauper race of laridlorde, have been of immense bone fit to that Country. Wo ask not whether it'he the result of policy or fear, or of a mixture of both, but the British Government, during the last five years, has shown an evident desire to act fairer by Ireland than any preceding British Government ever did act before. ' 'We maybe pardoned, under this belief, for .doubting the truth of the rumor alluded to. It when , l the Irish are badly off that they feel dispoSed to organize Ribbon Lodges. Neither can, O' help feeling very skeptical 'as to the sedition Societies receiving any peenriiary aid froth this country. Mr. JOHN BRIM; 'member of Pallet* for the groat todtti of Birmingham, is a Man Of considerable mark and note. In conj nation with Mr. COBDEN, who has not a seat in', tha present Parliament, Mr. BRIGHT was one of the heads of what used to be called the lon cheater school of liberal politics. In issl, however, in companionship with several other liberalmembers, Mr. BRIGHT beat Lord l'Art, SCHRUM in the House of Commons, by 'car rying a vote (virtually a vote of censure, on the Ministry) that the war with China was un justifiable and uncalled for. In the General Election which followed, .Mr. Bazaar was defeated in his attempt to be re-elected for Manchester, whore ho was polite:tally well known, and which be had represented for ten years. Many of his friends bad the same bad luck, in other places. This was in Aprl, - 1857,• but. In the following August, on the death of Mr. Munn, the bearded M. P. for Birmingham the electors unanimously returned Arr.BazauT, to Parliamentinot only without any solicita tion, and In his absence, but simply because of the general—we might say national opinion that he was an honest, able, independent Poll= tician. Since then, and especially since the accession of the Derby•Disraelites to office, Mr. Baum z has been quite a power in the House of Comnons, where his bold position, , enlarged views, and convincing eloquence 'are' highly appreciated. This man is more than a politician—be is a statesman. ' Pledged to bring in, during the ensuing ses sion, a full measure for extending and reform ing the Parliamentary representation of Great Britain, the present Ministry have been busily employed in constructing such a bill. During the recess, such of them as have spoken in public have evaded touching upon this ques tion. Mr. Domani; resolied not to 'be tempted out of his taciturnity, avoided his accustomed attendance at the agricultural meeting of Bucks—the county he represents. There was an idea that Mr. Bazaar, who is very intimate with Lord STANLEY, would favor the Ministerial project, and that Its leading points bad been submitted to Mn. The speech whichhe has made, at a public meeting of his constituents at Birmingham, on the 27th October, occupied two hours iddelivery, and nearly five colonies ofamalt, 2 : l / 4 r• - '"l' le composition. Mr. Damn never prepares his speechoti--that , as to the ipsaissirita rocrba—but, like most other orators who have duo regard' for them selves as well as their auditors, he had care folly thought over the subject matter before ho threw his thoughts into expression by moans of language. The novelty of this harangue, which may more'properly be described as an exposition of statesman-like views, is its extreme Demo cracy: He handled the House of Lords' "without gloves," nor is he very complimen tary to the other branch of the Legislature, which, beplainly said, is wrongly called, as it does nor represent the Commons of England, two-thirds of their members holding their seats by family connexion and aristocratic influence. He laid to this cause the iniquity of class-legis lation, whereby the burden of taxation is taken off the shoulders of the titled and the rich, and put upon those of the industrious and the poor. ' He contends for good laws, honest ad ministration, and an adjustment of the burden of taxation in proportion to the ability to bear it. Parliamentary Reform, so effective as to bo a reality and not a sham, is what Mr. BRIGHT earnestly and strongly goes in for. no would have Vote by Ballot, the number of members of Parliament apportioned to the population, in filet, the United States' system, with such checks as will prevent the. errors in practice Which every election exhibits more or lees with us. One passage in this speech we shall bore quote: I must warn you against one phrase width I And our friends—we cannot now call any of them our opponents—the bewildered Reformers are be ginning to nee. They say we must not on any ac count Amerloaniso ' our institutions. Now, I know only one institution in America of whieli the Amerloans need to be very greatly-ashamed—and that institution was established under the mon aroh,y, although, unfortunately, it has lived and flourished under the Republic. They tell us that in America numbers overwhelm property and edu cation. Well, but numbers have not overwhelmed property and education in England; and yet look at legislation in England. Look at our ware, look at our debt, look at our taxes, look at this great fee— dlot every improvement for the last forty years has been an Improvement.whieh numbers, and numbers only, btive wrested from the property, and -what they call the education of the country. [Oheera ] Our education is fairly represented by our Uni versities; but I say now, as I have said before, that it the Legislature of Eisend, if the Parlia ment of England, had bean guided for thirty years peat according to the counsels of' the representa tives of the Universities, England instead of being a country of law and of order, would have been long before this a country of anarchy and of revo lution. [Ohsers.] America is a etrangelbugboar. There are thirty-two at least; if not - thirty-three, independent and sovereign States In the United States of America. Now, I am not one of them who believe that you cannot be free and happy under a monarchy such as ours. lam not propos ing—l am the last person to propose—that the in stitutions of thlsoonntry should be modelled upon the plan of some other country, because it is Utopian dome other country ; but 'say that if ere are at lib erty to draw &donee, products for our mann futures,' and literature from every country in the world, why should we not, if we see anything good in the politica of another country, be equally at lib erty to take a lemon in that resent also? [Hear, hear.] Speaking, generally, in all the sovereign and independent States of Amerioa, there is a franchise as wide as that which I have proposed to-night; there is an exaot equal allotment of members to the etcetera, and thorn is throughout most of the States the protection of the ballot. Yet, in America, we And law, order, property scours, and a pepulation in the enjoyment of physioal comforts and abundance, such as are not known to the groat body of the people in this coun try, and which never have been known in any country in any age of the world before. [Hear, hear.] Now,wilt any man dare to tell me in the presence'of this audience that the English nation in England la a worse nation than the English na tion in America? Are we leas eduoated, are we less Industrious, are we lees moral, are yre less itubject to the law, are we lees disposed, to inbuilt to all the just requirements of the Government? If we are so, and if the'Engliah nation in America , excels ns in all these particulars, doesit not look very likely that tho institutions in England aro not asgood in the training and rearing of a nation as the institutions of the United States? Ido not say that, but those persons who say that the fran chise, the distribution, and the ballot, which ope rate 'so well in America, would bo perilous In England, do what I will not do—they.libel the people of this country, and they libel our iristitu dons. [Olteers.]" Writing at a later hour, withonthaving time or opportunity carefully to examine ,Mr. Barony's pro-American Manifesto, we are compelled to defer the contrast which it sug gests between the .oOnalitutional Government and Representation of England at home and i "England in America, ,, as he calls it. The London Times, we notice, strongly abuses Mr. Blum , for being vague, and voheinently con tends that vote by Ballot is un-English. This has been Pararsitsmon's doctrine always, and Mr. RoBERT Lows, his Satellite, °china it in The Times. in Matters In Asia. ry important news from Asia has arrived in gland, and has reached ns lithe steamer .i/ .

Curtis at Concert Hall last Eventing• Concert Hall, last evening, presented,a brilliant Sena. Several minutee.beforo the appointed hour 'hid arrived for Mr, Curtis to commence his lee tire, every seat in the horse, including the galls' Os and the platform, was occupied by, as flatter bg an audience as ever graced that beautiful edi fie. • It would really.seeM as if the announce tient of a lactate to be delivered under the auspl ct of the People'aliterary Institute, was, under d ay ; clarteurmalelt tele: rbnjust i c e equivalent t t o o a crowdedthe ta l ent house;tey ally employ, to say that the popularity of the oboes in the making up , of its literary pro ghmmes for the Simon. We have here, at once, to cause and the effect. Mr. Curtis appeared npon the platform greeted tttth applause; which was repeated at intervals drring thedelivery of his lecture The old political philosophy, according to which Lipman society was still arranged,-constituted his opening theme, and although rather dreamy for a ,popular audience, served, as he progressed, to sharpen the appetitenf hie hearers for a rare feast. The best 'intermits 'of eooletY, 'it was, said, de pended upon a true idea of 'dirmcaraoy; and that, lofts turn; upon popular education--" Democracy :Ind Education" being the subject of his discourse. Mr. Curtis here threw in la flourish of rhetoric, involving a rapid glance at the germ of demo army manifested in all agtss and in all parts of the world. By democracy he meant, a universal equality. Not absolute , as such, bat in lid application to hu man rights. Absolute equality wail an ideal of damooraoy, he knew, but the video of just experi 'ince. showed it to be visionary ' That right and virtue should always receive its due allotments in governmental eoooomy, ho admitted; but from defeats which it is impossible entirely to eradicate, this would never be in atria accordance with our experience. The good, 'twee true, were Giulia peculiar care; Bat who but God should tell us who the," were 1" The voice of the people should not be impeded to ascertain the right, or , even what majorities be lieve to be right; rather they showed what was deemed under certain eircumatanees to be most politic. In proof of this position, he would ask whether, if the law which Herod made compelling the destruction of the first-born of Judea had been -enacted by the whole people instead of One man, ft would, therefore, have been right 7 ' Ideally, said ho, democracy was the golden rule: lie wished it understood, of course, that 'rather he used this term, it was in its philosophical, rather than in its partisan sense; for, as mode-. toil with the latter, ho knew the gold, was often sadly alloyed With dross. The practical denial of political rights to any individual, in any instance in which there was not anindispatably good reason for doing so, was enforcing the veriest despotism imaginable. • Through a succession- of ages the fires of demo cracy had been gradually spreading until, toward the close of the hurt century, that I dea found the -most perfect development the world bad ever seen in the formation of the American Republic, His subsequent description of the inception, in this country, of the sublime idea of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinesa," and the parts played in that noble act by a Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Jay, Hamilton, and others, constituted a brilliant flash in the evening's lecture, and evoked un bounded applause. - From the religious, it was said, sprang the yearn ing desire for the universal establishment of civil liberty. Ho knew that his subject was not a new one for American contemplation; but he felt constrained to lay a special stress upon the great fact that this happy Government was based upon the rights of man, and as• such was a subject ever worthy of our meditation. • At this point the lecturer grew poetic, meta physio, patriotic, and occasionally prosaic, by torus. • The chard, as ho progressed, also came in for sundry sharp criticisms upon its sectarian 'neon oriatenoles. Men generally, said he, were them• selves the interpreters of their Bibles, and woe to that passage of Scripture which did not prove to a nicety the actions of every assooiation,overy class% every synod, or every Friends' meeting, to be in the strictest accordance with sound dontrino ! ' —As mere Wien storm religion, so there -w.e mush sham democracy.' We fat:iled that we had already perfected what in feet was not yet out of its swaddling clothes. It was not well to fire our arrival guns before the anchor was oast. - Bemuse a bottle of older chanced to bubble and froth at being uncorked, it was not therefore champagne. The popular usages of society were here viewed at once in the light of Christianity, polities, and civil liberty, in the course of which the lecturer was racy and facetious by turns in ridiculing our national weaknesses. Much truth there was, too, in some of his criticisms. His home-thrust at our national pride—charac terizing, by humorous illustration, America as too prono to take off Its hat and bow to itself—created much merriment, and showed how very willing our people are to confess their faults. The triumph of national liberty depended wholly, ho thought, upon the development of a national morality, and this morality in turn do• pended upon the closest national care and watch fulness. In view of this our Government needed as muoh watching as an orchard required to keep it from the invasion of destructive reptiles. Our Government, goOd as it was, was not born with a °barna around her neck, and it was therefore the duty of every good citizen to seek to enhance that morality upon which it can alone flourish, and this could only be accomplished through a proper edu cation. ' By education he did not mean the mere delving into the deeps of knowledge, and whioh shouted. 'Oran! over the discovery of the last species of beetle, or the ascertaining of the exact time when the last mastodon expired. Tho farmer was not an eduonted man, because he know'the qualities of his soil and what it need ed to make' it most produotive; or because he knew exactly how and where to sprinkle a few &mhos of guano, and set his ground to sneezing cabbages and potatoes all round. No ; but when he learned to feel as be sowed the seed, that be was not only sowing that which would reproduce its kind, but that his labor would result, far off in the distant future, it may be in, noble deeds, In spiring thoughts, holy note, and words that burn, in the nourishment of beings that live by eating; then it was that the farmor might be said to be educated. 'en it was that ho was elevated in that mo rality, without which education deserved not the name. It was to bo borne In mind, that between public and private morality there could be no dis tinction. Kossuth had said that ho had lived to see the day when bayonets thought; and, said the teatime; he might have added that bayonots aro never good for anything until they do think; that is to say, until their use is prompted by a thought to direst their permanent utility. Anaxa goras had said that man's band distinguished bim from. and made him superior to, tho lower ani mals' yet that hand, without thought to direct it, dwinGed down to a mere animal apponiage. The pig, for instance, used his snout to root the ground ; man, on the other hand, dug it with his hand they were then both used for the same object, and without thought to elevate, ono oould claim no superiority over the other ; but put thought behind that hand, and it develops into impleMents of ingenuity, the steam engine, the cotton ten, and a thousand other instruments of labor-saving power. Ills hal thought was a worthy conclusion of tine of the most eloquent and polished lectures of the present Banton.- Said ho, the spirit of liberty gradually uzafitlding into light, who can doubt that at is the will of God gradually malting the world his own! The usually- sleepy manner of Mr. Curtis was, in his sueoessful Wert last evening, greatly im proved upon, and even. in moro than one Waterloo, supplanted by a deoent show of animation. In this respect, we are happy to bear witness, it . was a very deoided improvement on his " Algernon Sydney, cr the Gentleman," of last mason.

"It appears that they were tried and convicted by garrison ocarts-martial' on a charge of "die obedience of orders ;" and that execution of the sentence confirmed .by the garrison commander was Suspended by imolai order of the commander of the department. in pursuance of a general order from the. headqaertore of the army, May 8, 1852, denying the juitelietion of a garriaoneourt of such charge. "The question is not clear upon the authority of the text-writers. But I incline to the opinion of the general-in-chief. Certainly, disobedi ewe of orders' means disobedience of a lawful oemmand of a superior °Meer in the' exeoution of his office,' it in a 'capital ease; and not triable by agarrison court; and, however that may be, the order of the general-in-chief is mandatory to gar rison commanders ' and does, in effect, forbid any such commander tosend any snob case to a garrison court, or to exeouto their sentence In snob case.

Letter from "Oecasional.” Correspondence of The Press.] .__. ~ WASIIINGTON, November 11, 11358.- - If this Central American business had not be come an operation in the hand' of epeoulators, each intent upon making money, the Government would have had little or no trouble. General Walker has been with us, manufacturing sympathy, as urinal, and has got up a supply. The beet way to get at this bad man's character is to get our naval officers now in the Caribbean sea—not Commodore Paulding, who, gallant as he is, may speak some what from personal feeling—but those who have succeeded him; and if the remit &Oil not make the President ashamed of tolerating this man Walker so near him, I will give up the argument. He has been the canes of the .loss of more, innocent lives than any other man of our day and time. He has inflicted unheard-of injuries upon our countrymen in Central America; and now ho is about to go forth on a now expedition of rapine and Spoil. Alternating 'in the hands of one speculator and then of another, he goes with any ono who is ready to nay him the most lam of opinion that no thing will ever be 'done to effect a peaceful settle ment of this question until the speculators are got rid of and Walker is punisbed,,as he deserves to be. The whole affair Is eminently disgraceful to the country. , , The statement that Mr. Buchanan is ready to make peace with Judge Douglas is false. He does net intend it. I speak of what I know. An in etanee in proof of this assertion may be cited : Only a day or two before the election in Illinois he removed from the poet office, at Jerseyville, in that Btate,ildr..o. B. Jackson, well known in your oily, where he has resided for years, and where be is very respectably connected. Causel-his at talbment to Dangles. - What renders Mr. Buchanan more furlong, bow ever, is the ciWftil manner in which he has been deceived by Cook, Leib, and Carpenter, the men to whom ' by advice of Cobb and . others, he has confided in Illinois. The son of Senator Fitch, of Indiana, was another of these worthies. lie was the especial calumniator of yourself and others, and his speeches, coarse as they were, were trans ferred to Governor Cobb's own home organ, in Georgia, the Athens Banner, and editorially approved. A Georgian, now here, says the en dorsement was sent from the Treaeury Depart ment by Clayton himself. That these men, armed with all the pawer of the Federal Government, incited to labor from here, and written lob) , mem bers of the Cabinet, and even by the President himself, have not been able to poll more than four thousand votes out of" 245,000, is the proof alike of their own weakness and recklessness, and of the wickedness of the policy of tho Administra tion. It is this that galls the President. The New York Journal of Comnierce, - Barnmore Exchange, Providence Post, and others, are cut ting loose from the Administration, and have already come out for Douglas. While this makes Mr. Buchanan very indignant=for all these papers have adhered to him up to the moment of the 1111-' nose election—it is erectly what he ought to have expected. They did their very best to uphold him; they even organized themselves against Douglas; but, after all, they cannot resist the tide. They give in reluctantly ; but when we reflect that they were all the time quietly on our side, their decla ration since the eleotion is not to be wondered at. Occastom. Public Entertainments. ACADEMY or Music.---Madame Colson and Ma dame de Withorst will appear this evening—the latter its Amine in La Sonnambula, with Mignon and Amodia—the former its . Marie in La Figlia del Reggimento, with Berlin and Labocetta. Both ladies have given satisfaction' in these respective rides, and it is a good managerial idea thus to make a double attraction on the one evening. To-morrow, will be performed Norma, with Sig nora Parodi in apart which she tills so well. Signor Soda, a tenor quite new to this city, takes the part of Pollione, and Madame Strakosoh will be the Adeigisa. The desire again to hear Parodi is so un equivecal that Mr. Strakosob at once consults pub lie taste and his own interest by thus gratifying it. Flotow's opera of Martha, to be sung in Italian, (for the first time in this country,) on Monday evening, with Madame Colson in a now oharaoter. She will appear as Henrietta, and Brignoli as Lyonel. This Opera has been well rehearsed. and considerable cost gone into for new costumes and other " aids and appliances."

Cooke, tenor, from New York, and Mr. George T. 'Wins, pianist and composer. That astonishing little ohild, "Little Ella," between three and four years old, whose reading oreated a great sen sation in Now York, will also appear. This is a capital programme.

The chandeliers and un'que bronze statuary contained in this msealre collection are executed in the beet style of this celebrated bo's'n., and have been made the subject of much flattering comment by visiteis. . The next moat attractive feature of the exhibition, in our judgment; ie a colossal cue of 'silver ware occu pying the east end of the room. The elegant rare de posited In this case Is mainly of novel designs, evident ly got out by the proprietors, Messre Moyer & W Lrne, In anticipation of the holiday season.

Among the most_Useful articles in the exhibition, more particularly adapted to the prisiniseasor,sie the displays of the aereralitore manufacturers there rep resented. Promicent among - these, we noticed speci mens of rare merit from theestabltahmente of Messrs. Gallagher, Chadwick ,& Brother, J. S. Clark, James Spear, and others, the celebrated gits-consturung cook ing -stove of the latter househaving been fired up every evening and given practlosi demonstration of its merits as a really scientific article. This stove was es much elm ired by housekeepers for its convenience as by their liege lords for its manifest fuel-saving qualities: A fart of the exhibitlonwhich it would be unpardon able to overlcok, is the grand display of useful patent articles. by Monona.

These gentlemen exhibit a patent "weather strip," which in certainly one of the moat complete ar ratgementa to apply to the cracks of doors and win dows to prevent thepaesage of duet, snow, or cold air, ever invented. 7he display by Mr. Parkinson, the confectioner, also possesses unusual merit. It coreistnin a,great misty of cake statuary and ornamental confectionery, ar— ranged on a large scale, with great lute, and the whole enolosed in a capacious glass cue. One of the most Shasta and besutifal abases of gond* in the entire collection is the large panel of engraved glass, exhibited by Mourn Robert Ehoemakei & CO., corner of Fourth and Race streets. The great nierit of this specimen is, that the 'designs, - although very elaborate, are mooted with all the precision of a line engraving, which, considering that the eogrieing is performed by manna of a rapidly revolving stone applied to the parts to be made brilliant, is really wonderful. A part of this splendid !mediums is in edlered glass, which, contrasted with the white enamelled bordering, gives it an unearpassed richness fn.' the purposes it is Intended—transoms, vestibule•doore, - sidelights, This class of work, by the ho•.tne referred to, has now en established mutat lentil - over the Union: A LIVELY Scraez.—The Sue heather of the present week has had a delightfully vivifying effeet upon all branches of retail trade, and more especially the mllliaery. -Bo at least we inferred on passing the elegant new stare of Thomas kforgan, No 710 Arch street, yesterday, from the throng of customers with which it was literally crowded.
