In the House,of Representatives, at Harris
burg, on the 7th instant, an act relative to the
organization of the police force of the city of
Philadelphia was passed finally by a vote of
66 yeas to 33 nays, which, if it becomes a law,
Will effect many changes in that important
branch of our municipal , government. The
general, if not entire, change of the force, with
every new political revolution in the city, is a
great evil, as it throws out of the service men
Who have learned to discharge their duties
properly, to make room for others taxless skil
ful, and thus keeps the whole department, to a
grit extent, in a state of confusion. Police
men are almost necessarily obliged to becorno
heated partisans—more mindful of. political
conflicts than, of their official duties. These
repeated and arbitrary removals-sheuld be pre-
Vented, and the eaperi once . of -early all other
important cities has led them to appoint their
policemen tallied terms; and to make them'
removable only for neglect of duty or official
misconduct, and not on account of their po
litical opinions.. • ,
The first section of the new bill provides
that a police board shall be constituted, which
shall consist of the Mayor of the city of Phila
delphia for the time being, and of the two
Mayors neat immediately preceding him ; one
citizen to be chosen by the Select Council,
and one citizen by the Common Connell, an
nually, in•Aprif; and this board of five per
sons shall be presided over by the Mayor.
They are,to receive no salary or emolument.
Any of the Commissioners who shall be nomi
nated for an office elected by the people du
ring his official term as a police Commissioner,
and shall not decline the nomination within
ten days after receiving it, shall be deemed
to have thereby vacated his post as a Police
Commissioner. The board is to have authori-
ty to adopt such rules and regulations for its
own government u it may deem expedient,
provided they aro not contrary to the liws of
the Commonwealth ; and it will be their duty
to make such rules and regulations for the
proper government and discipline of the po
lice force as may be deemed necessary. The
sixth section of the bill provides that,the force
shall be constituted as follows :
"The police force of the eityef Philadelphia shall
consist of a chief of pollee, a superintendent of de
tectives, two surgeons of police, a fire marshal, four
• high constables, twelve detectives, and so many
captains of pollee, not less than' sixteen, co many
sergeants of pollee, not less them thirty.two, and so
many police patrolmen, not less in number than six
hundred and fifty, as may be determined upon by
the Belot and Common Councils of the said City, by
whom the amount of salary to be paid respectively
to the said officers and policemen shall be fixed, and
snob salary shall not be diminished during their re
spective Bet-vide. All of the said officers and police
men shall be severally appointed by theMayorof the
city of Philadelphia, and each person so appointed
shall hold office for the term of five years, if be shall,
so long faithfully observe the rules of the said board. ,
and execute the laws of the Comisonwealth; and
• the ordinances of the city, or unless, upon Medical'
'woollen, be shall be declared physically ineapa• •
eltated therefor; and no officer or policeman shall
be removed from the Bald police force by the pollee
board until after written obargee shall have been,
preferred against him to the said board, and ens
talned by a majority of the commissioners,after
opportunity shall have been afforded him iming ;
heard is his own defence, or by, attorney; Pray:-
dui, That whenever any vacancy shall occur in
the office of captain of police, the same shall be
filled by an appointment from among the persona
then serving as sergeant of pollee ; and whenever a
vacancy shall occur in the office of sergeant of po
llee, the same shall- be filled by an appointment
from among the persons then serving as pollee pa
trolmen ; and whenever a vacancy shall occur
among the police patrolmen, the seine shall be
filled by appointment from among the persons then
registered substitutes, as hereinafter enacted,"
In addition to"the regular force thin au.
thOrized, the Mayor is to appoint fifty persons
'as substitutes, to serve in the cases of suspen;
Mon or other temporary absence of police pa,.
trolmen, and from, whom all vacancies must
be filled; but they are only to receive the it:a
lary to which those whose duties they per
form would have - been entitled if they had re
mained on duty. Section eight provides that
the police board shall define the qualifica
tions, duties, mode of trial, and conies of re
moval from office of the policenien. Section
nine provides for the appointment of additional
patrolmen and special patrolmen in cases of
riot or any other nnumal difficulty. Section
ten contains the following provisions :
"The pollee board shall cause to be kept beaks :if
record of the pollee, wherein shall be entered the
' name of every membef"of the pollee • force and of
substitutes connected therewith, with, hie place
of nativity, age, whether married or unmarried,
date of citizenship if born out of the United States,
time of residence in the city of Philadelphia, for
- mer occupation, • place of residence,' date df
;ointment and removal from office, with the cause
of the latter. It shall also cause to be kept a re
gistry of all stolen property recovered by members
of the police force, together with the name of the
owner, if ascertained. the statement of the place
where found, and of th e parson from whom taken.
. with date of its receipt, and other circumstances
connected therewith, and the name of the officer
recovering the same. It shall ales cause to be kept
general complaint books, in which shall be entered
every complaint preferred upon personal knowledge,
with the name and residence of the complainerit.
It shall also cause to be kept books accessible to
all citizens for , the registry of lost or stolen pro.
party. It shall also cause to be kept,in suitable
books,completeinventories of all pubic in,
to the several police stations, and of all , badges,
rattles, and other personal accoutrements in use by
the police force belonging to the city." .
, Section eleven refers to the telegraphic'appa
.
• rotas, public polide property, books, records
&c., and provides that they shall be placed nude';
the control of the police board, &c. So ction
twelve exempts all persons holding office under
this act from performing duty as jurymen,
or in the militia. Section thirteen provides
for the furnishing of estimates of expenses of the
department to City Councils, and for the pay-
Ment of its expenditures by orders drawn by the
Mayor upon the city treasury. Section four
teen provides for :dividing the city into
lice districts, but. forbids the division of any
ward into two districts. Section fifteen pro
vides for the issue of subpmnas by the police
board to compel the attendance before it of
witnesses upon any proceedings authorized by
its rules and regulations. Section sixteen
provides that whenever any member of the
pollee board shall become disabled in the'ae.
tual performance of his duties, his pay may be
allowed by the police board, and if he shall be
killed, that his death shall be reported to the
City Conning and that such sum shall be appro
priated to his legal representatives as Councils
deem just. Section seventeen refers to the
official oath to be taken by the policemen, and
authorizes the folic° board to prescribe the
dress, badges and , accoutrements • to be worn
by the policemen. Section eighteen provides'
that the police board shall remove from office
such members of the present police depart
ment as do not possess the qualifications which,
under the authority of the eighth section of
the act, will be prescribed as essential for; an
appointment. Section nineteen provides for
the repeal of all former acts not consistent
with the present bill.
While the necessity for some modification
of our police system, which shall give to the
force more permanency than it at present pos
sesses, will be almost universally admitted, if
the present bill becomes a law, the Democratic
party of this city will be so meagrely repre
sented in the Board of Commissioners that it
will probably bitterly oppose the contemplated
change. Under the provisions of the-first lea
tiou of the bill the board would consist of
Mayor HENRY, ex-Mayor Vara, two commis
sioners elected by Councils, in both branches
of which there are large Opposition majori
ties, and one vacancy caused by the death of
ex-Mayor CONRAD, which would be filled by
thiboard, - It would thus contain one Demo
*ratio and four Ofposition memhem, and such
a police fere° would be established fort the
Mort Av e
7 years as would be acceptable to the
party which is at _present dominant in` our
city.

performed at the Amedgeny'of,lietysio, was** tho
rough sinew, we might even (ali it a triumph, for
Adelina Patti. Those who heard her, last Decem
ber, can scarcely have an idea of her wonderful
improvement, Her voice has gained fullness,
•without losing any of its purity and sweetness,"and
her Wing participates in the Improvement. In the
Puritant, on :Wadricaday 'evening, she displayed
great aptitude for serious dramatio vocalism, and
her /tonna, last night,was light, graceful, and just
touched with sentiment in the love scenes. Her
opening coveting, " tins voce," reminded us of
poor Malibran's execution of that gem, and Son
tag's Echo Song, in the lossonieene, was beauti
fully exeonted. On the encore call, she substituted
"doming Thto' the Ryes" sang with vivacity
and arehness, and a repetition being demanded,
gave "Home, Sweet 'Home," with exquisite
pathos. Her finale was a 'new song, by Signor
Muds, composed for her. The applause she 're.
eeiyed was overpowering, almost. She h a d
no end of bouquets. For the part of the
Count, there ' was only Signor Soola—not equal
to it; but be took it from a motive of kind
ness, as a pcs•aller, to oblige the manage
ment, so we shall not be critical. Signor Amodio,
make-up and all, was a fine Battlio ; he had a
field for his comic powers, and luxuriated in it.
Swint was somewhat better than h middling Dr.
Bartok., but not exactly a good one. FerH's Fi

Gassier's, when La Grange was the Donna
In • the second act there is one comic
rdo which sometimes makes a bit. This is
Bertha's summing-up of the troublesome condition
of affairs on Dr. Bareo/o's house. It was sang by
Madame morra, last night, and considerably ap
plauded. -The hones was crowded In every tier;
we have never seen it so full. This evening the
season closes with "The Sicilian Vespers." which
even as a mere ehow•pieoe, is worth seeing. The
anise en scene all through, but especially in the
ball-room representation, in Act 11, is unsurpassed.
That excellent singer and great favorite, Madame
Colson, is in the east, and so are Stigelli, Ferri, and
Junes.
'WALNUT•STREET VREATRB.—Mr. Chanfran's en
gagement closes this evening, when we presume
"The Hidden Hand" Rill be, withdrawn. Miss
Davenport, who has just concluded a very bril.
liant engagement in Boston, will be the " star " at
this theatre, next week. We perceive that "The
Heart of Midlothian" is underlined. Miss Daven
port's acting in this drama must be emu:gent. We
know no actress more capable of giving fell effect
to the interview between Jeanie Deane and Queen
Caroline—the finest passage In modern fiction, be
cause the most affecting in its pathetic truth.
"The Octoroon " will be played this evening, for
the last time, at Arch•atreetTheatre. Such noting
as has built up this plane has rarely been combined
in this city. Mrs. John Drily and Mr. John Gil
bert, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Glle, make the utmost
of the* respective parts, and have made the piece
successful, to a degree. On Thursday evening,
Adelina Patti witnessed the performance, and was
highly gratified.
There will be three afternoon performaroes to
day, vie : at the National Theatre, at Sanderson's
Exhibition Booms; and at Signor Blites.,Temple
of Wanders, corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets.
At the National, whatever the other attractive
feature', Mad'lle Effit. Zoyara Is the magnet which
draws at present. The double uncertainty, the
double mystery which envelopes her, naturally
increases the publio desire to see her. Is she the
real

and farewell performance, prior to her departure
for New Orleans, will be given this evening. Mr.
Rice will appear in the eirole in the afternoon as
well as In the evening.

Merchant's Seven Stark.
In 1855, the American Institute awarded its gold
medal, the only ono ever given in this country for
superior perfumery, to Mr. Marion J. Merchant,
1 this city, for various artioloa which he calls the
Seven ®tars. These are various articles for the
fullet—eau de Cologne, verbena, preparations for
the hair, perftsme for the handkerchief, fanny soap,
and pomade. They are manufactured in this city,
hat their respective qualities can be tested at
Ileum E. IL Hunt 4 Co., (corner of Fifth and
Chestnut streets), who are the sole agents in this
Illy for Mr. Merchant, and keep sample bottles al
ways open for the gratuitous use of intending pur
chasers. What the celebrated Lubin, of Hue Bt.
Ann, Paris, is in Europe, Mr. Merchant assuredly
is, as a perfumer, in this country. .
Portrait of Mr. Dallas.
Several leading laileDS of Philadelphia, under
standing that Mr. T. Buchanan Read is about pay

the Gout of St. James. It is intended to place
this portrait " among the like memorials of the
illustrious men of the nation." There is conside
rable fitness in this commission, subject and artist
being both Philadelphians, and both highly dis
tinguished men. Mr. Read is poet as well as
painter, and a now edition of his poems, in two
volumes, has just been published by Ticknor d.
Fields, of Boston. Mr. Read bee ae,opted the

XXXVITII CONGRESS.--VIRST SESSION.
U. S. Clefrot., Washington, March 9 .
SENATE,
The Senate met at one o'clock.
Various reports and petitions were presented, but
owing to the noise and confusion in the Hall, namely a
word could be heard in the reporters' gallery
*
Mr. FITCH, of Indiana, introduced a bill to provide
for thepublic' printing and binding. Referred.
Mr. CAMERON, of Pennsylvantahresented a petition
in favor of the increase of the rates of duties on im
ports.
Mr. BRIGHT, of Indiana, introduced it bill for the
enlargement of the public, grounds about the Capitol.
He said the House committee had met the Senate oom-
Mittoo on this suboot, and they had agreed upon a plan of '
enlargement. lie hoped the bill would be considered at
an early day.
Theprivate calendar was then taken tip.
The bill for the relief of Anne H. Smith, Widow of the
tete General Persifer F. Smith, being tinder considera
tion,
fdr. HALE, of New Hampshire. moved an emend
ment granting similar pensions to Mrs. Macomb and
Mrs. Riley. widows of the l ate Generals Macomb and
Riley.
The amendment was adopted by a large majority, and
the bill mased,
Mr. Hyatt wag brought in, being in custody of the ser
geant-at arms. He replied fin writing to the isnestiong
I propounded, submitting a very voluminous dooument,
which was read at, the Clerk's desk. In reply to the in
terrogatory why he had refused to obey the gammons of
the committee, he denies the authority of the commit.
! tee end itsjaris notion.
Atter promeding some distance in the reply, Mr.
I MASON, of Virginia, said that as the substance of the
answer to the first question had been read, in order to
save time, he moved that the answer to the second in
terrogatory be now read.
Mr. SUMNER. of Massachusetts, °Noted to this as
unjust. The reading of the answer had been com
menced, and it ices unfair to atop it in the middle.
hir.SAULSBURY, of Delaware, and Mr. FITCH, of
' Wiens. tweed that enough had been heard.
Mr. SUMNER said that he knew nothing of the con
tents of the defence, and for that very reason it should
be rend.
Mr. SAULSBURY said that it was unbecoming for
the Senate to allow an Ammer to be read which set it at
I defiance.
Mr. HALE, of New Hampshire, said that he had seen
I the 'argument of the respondent, and he believed he
went too far in some portion in regard to certain
powers of the Senate. He believed the Senate was
competed of good lawyere, tend they knew the mace
tine that courts were boupd to hear the outwore to ques
tions putts him. He had the right to dismiss the ques
tion of the constitutional power of the Senate in this
re inAULSBURY. The question is, will the witness
now answer ?
Mr. HALE said he (Laught e r this morning. I can't
answer ter him now.:l
Mr. MASON said that he hoped the answer to the se•
mend question " Are you read i now to appear before
the committee'?" would be read, and the answer to the
first question pegged over.
Mr. TRUMEIULL, of Illinois. hoped that as the an
swer was along decument, that it be referred to the mo
n ittee to report it briefly. He made a motion to that
effect. He Sweat that it was net respectful for the
witness to send in three or four quires of an argument
' as to the Dower of the Senate. No court in the country
would hear a witness on the power, of the court over
him.
Mr. MASON said that he now tindenitood that the wit
ness was not made to appear before the committee in
answer to the eerond question.
Mr. KING, of New York, hoped that the answer would
be read. •
Mr. ' , MENDEN, of Maine, said that if a witness
except to the jurisdiction of a certain court, it would
not be called contempt.
Mr. MASON said he was willing that the answers
should be read now at length.
Mr. TRUMBULL urged that for the present the an
swers be referred to the committee, to ascertain if the
answers were auffiment. If net, the committee should
report further action. This would be the speediest war
of disposing of the whole matter.
After Author debate, he withdrew the motion to
refer.
Mr. BENJAMIN, of Louisiana. said that the argu
ment wee long. and simply amounted to this. that the
witness disputed the power of the Senate as a reason
why he had not previously appeared before, the commit
tee, and disputing such power, wee not'willng to appear
„now. He hoped that the &comet would be rate red
to the committee, to select the grain and the wheat from
the mountain of chaff. Let the committee report what
the witness had answered. He renewed the motion to
refer.
Mr. FESSENDEN said that the witness had been
brought to the bar of the Senate. which could not get
rid of the responsibility by the proposed reference to a
committee.
Mr. SAULSBURY discussed the question with re
gard to the rights of witnesses before courts, and said
that this witness would have appeared before the com
mittee if he had not wished to make a martyr of him
self. Mr. Hyatt had no right to road a lecture to the Se
nate as to its
Mr. FOSTER , rf e bonneetient, called for the reading
of Mr. Hvett'sanseer coder the rules of the Senate.
Mr. DAVIS, of Misainsippi. objected, bet op the ques
tion being taken. the treading was ordered yeas
nme 12.
The • Secretary then resumed the reeding of the
document, which occupied two hours, during which
there were only ten Senators on the floor, and the galls •
greatwere deserted. A Rey los counsel dimming at
length the ennatitutional power of the Senate in
this reapeet, including noisome citations from canes in
Parliament and Congress, courts, stn., Mr. Hyatt adds
his own observations, and reoommende an amendment
to the Constitution to cover eases shatter to his. In
asps that he has always been willing to

hisbefore t committee, is now. provided
[lis p rights as a citizen are respected by the Constitution
of his country. He refuses to appear now, es the laws
of God and whIS Corbid it, and his commence will not
permit him. •
Mr. MASON recapitulated the facts of the aummons
of Mr. Hyatt, and his arrest by wqrrant of the Vice-
President. and said that the prisoner having animated
the first question by a long argument, saying that the
Senate had no power to bring him hare, and the second
question by saying that he was not willing to appear ,
before the cononittee now, which is in direct conflict
with the report of the and ememittee, he would there
fore offer a resolution.
He then submitted a resolutioss that Mr. Hyatt be re
manded to the custody of the sergeant - et.:Arliei aid

THE REMOVAL Or THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
—The question of the removal of the sent of State
Government from Harrisburg to Philadelphia is ex
citing a greet deal of comment among the people.
There seems to be a very general opinion in favor of
its remove!, and tho reasons leading to it are earnestly
And eloquently canvassed In all circles. At the last
meeting of Common Council, Mr. Pomeroy, chairman
of the special committee on the guided of removing the
capital, presented a report. which embraces very
fully the arguments in favor of the plan now in agita
tion Tile report we print as follows :
The eelMt committee to which was referred the reso
lution relative to the removal of the seat of Govern
ment to the city of Philadelphia. respectfully repo t
That they have hail the 'natter under consideration.
and are unanimously of opinion that it is expedient to
make the proposed removal.
That Philadelphia should be the political as well as
the financial and commercial centre of the State, must
hn obvious to every reflecting mind. Her population
Mow entitles to mere than one-sixth of the Repre
sentatives in the popular branch of the Legielature, and
this ratio will lie increased at every succeeding appor
tionment of the State. But great as to her present and

The bill for tl.e rebel of the Sunbury and Erie Rail
road Company has been got out of committee, and is
flirty before the Legislature. On the cation of the Le
gislature upon this bill depends the answer to the ques
tion whether the railroad shall be completed from Sun
bury to Erie during all the year 1800, or indefinitely poet
pored. It was confidently expected that the directory
would be able to sell their canal bonds at a price nearly
up to par and after these were gone, to realize a fair
sum from the $3,000,000 of their own bonds, covered by
the same mortgage, that secured the State for the pur
ohne money of the canals. If these financial opera
hone had been made. as was not unreasonably expect
ed, the proceeds would have been ample for the com
pletion of the enterprise.
But the company have not been able to dispose of
their bonds at any such a price as it would have been
Prudent to take, or to use them satisfactorily as colla
teral for temporary loans. They have, therefore, to
suspend their work, at a great loss, and postpone the
completion of the road for an indefinite time, unleu
they can get some assistance. This aid they are asking
for at tho hands of the Leg Mature, and if it is grantee,
the road will be all finished during the present year.
The city of Philadelphia is a stockholder in the oom
pany to the extent of two millions and a quarter, and
the city and county of Erie to the amount of half a
million. The State holds the three-and-a-half million
of bonds on which the interest is In default. and which
may be sued out and the mortgage foreclosed on the first
of nest May.
There is no probability that by a sale of the concern
in its present condition, the principal of these bonds
could be realized by the State. To a , ert such n calm,
ity no the sale of the road, and the forfeiture of the in
terests of Erie and Philadelphia, the bill before the Le
gislature proposes that the company shell cancel 82.-
620,000 of their five percent. bonds, and that the State
shall receive the residue of 8875,000 in payment of five
years interest on the debt. This suspends, for that time,
the cash payments of interest, and makes the debt
amount, at the end of the five years, to 81.375,000, for
which the present mortgage of seven millions of dol
lare will be reduced in amount, and hold solely by the
State. The company are then to issue 33 tAXI 000 of six
per cent. bonds to be secured by a mortgage that shall
take precedence of that held by the State.
The Commonwealth would have a second mortgage
upon a finished and profitable railroad, instead of a
first mortgage upon one that is unfinished and unpro
ductive. The experience of the Central Railroad
affords good ground to believe that the earnings of the
finished road, running over the most favorable route on
Pennsylvania soil, and connecting no directly with the
lakes, would amply suffice to pay interest on the whole
amount dell the mortgages, and. perhaps, something to
the stockholder!. This railroad was begun in the las t
generation by far-sighted men who knew its importance.
and patriotically sought to secure the advantages of its
construction for our city and State. If they had sue
(leaded, the wealth that the New York and Erie Canal
ha s poured into the lap of that !State, would have been,
for the most part, secured by Penney lvania and Phila
delphia.
The cost of the whole road, if it had been built then
by the State, would have been much more than re
imbursed in the taxation of the increased wealth that
would have grown out'of its. operation. Even now, we
believe, that it would pay the State to cense this railroad
to be completed, even at the coat of its whole interest
therein. But the bill before the Legislature propose s
only a preference of other bond-oredi tors to the State as
rho cost of the completion of the railroad. which
we believe, will prove, when finished. amply remu
nerative to all the bond-holders. We trust that the
bill will become a law soon, that the bonds se
cured by the new mortgage may be disposed of white
the money market continues easy, and prices for fair
securities rule high.
The Legislature of Ohio, at its present session, has
Passed an not prohibiting the construction of any more
street railroads in Cincinnati, unless the consent of so
majority of the property-holders on any such streets
has been first obtained, but authorising the comple
tion, extension, and use of any street railroad which
has already been constructed, or for which a grant has
been made. This action of the Legislature will effect
ually guard the interest of the people by preventing the
wholesale appropriation of the streets for railroads, as
has been done in Philadelphia, while it will work for
the benefit of the passenger roads now built by pre
venting injurious competition.

As the building season is about being Inaugurated, we
have thought that a few words respecting a very im
portant feature in every dwelling, might not be amiss;
we refer to the kitchen feature of cooking ranges and
stoves. Probably nineteen good housekeepers in every
twenty, Kaska what they considered the most essen
tial feature in the construction of dwellin gs, would pro
nounce in favor of a good cooking range. We know that
in renting houses this is regarded an a primary matter,
and builders should keep this fact in view. We have
known houses to be given up by good tenants in mime
roue instances (for it must be remembered that as pro
fessional itemisers few current events are allowed to
escape our notice) for no other canes than the
imperfect cooking facilities with which they were
supplied. Others, again, disliking the trouble and in
convenience of moving, have'seen prOper toremedy the
difficulty by being at the expense of a goo Caking
Stove. Several oases of this kind are raid to lia've oo
ourred within the last few weeks. in which the popu
-1 tr Cas-burning Cooking Stoves of Mr. James Spear,
No. 1116 Market street, have taken the place of
worthless ranges. This admirable patent stove of
Mr. Spear, by the way, cannot be too highly COM
inonned for its superior excellence, and from its great
convenience. economy, and general ellioieney, we
could wish that every kitchen in America was sup

may add, are the ones of all other., that bililders stioutd
employ, and we ale glad to find that many of our largest
and most discriminating operators are doing so. Air.
Spear, the ingenious inventor of three capital stoves
and ranges, has conferred a real favor upon the nubile
by their introduction. We state this, no less upon our

is requited to keep the ante et an ironing temperature

We have seen fit to speak more particularly of Mr.
Spear's stoves and ranges from the fact that he was the
tirst inventor of the gas-burning article, and because
tneir universal adoption has induced some of our most
Prominent rove manufacturers to secure the right from
Mr. Spear to make them for the trade. Atnoes these,
we mat name the extensive establishmonts of Messrs.
North, Clive, & North, and Messrs. Leibrandt k Me-

A Word in Segroo.
Patent, the "trade mark" upon which IN cast upon
each stove, as MOW : " SPEAR'S WA-BURNING COOK."
which, by the way, dealers should bear in mind, as those
only are the genuine Spear stove which bear this mark,
A word in ounclusioa to County/ dealer.. It is, we be
lieve, the custom among AM manufacturers usually
to confine the sale of their dims in any of the inland
towns, to Nome one house. or firm in the place. That the
stove we have here referred to is destined to supersede
alt other cooking-stoves in uaeore think is apparent,ana
that the elle of them in every section will soon become
a very important item, in therefore equally certain,
Would it not be wise, therefore, for enterprising dealers
to make application for them to the manufacturers
above named—Meagre. N. C. & N., and L. & Ada.—
without delay? as their sale ix certain to become i doh
item in the stove sales throughout the country. They
are furnished in all sizes and patterns, although, to se
core an adequate supply, applications will certainly
have to be made to the manufatiturer, at an early day.
We hare said this much about the future of this cele
brated patent of Mr. Spear's from what we know to be
true of its unrivalled popularity in this city, and because
of the fact that in no instance where either his Gas
burning Stoves or Ranges have been introduced could
the parties using them be induced to substitute any
others in their stead.

to-morrow morning.
TABLIIAUX AND CONCERT.—By reference to Our
advertising columns to-day, it will be seen that a
Concert and Tableaux will be men by the ladies of the
Second Universalist Church. at Washington Rall,Eighth
and Spring Garden streets, on Monday evening next.
The same was recently - given before a delighted
audience in this city. The singing and music will be by
the choir of the Church. Ths programme is attractive,
and the entertainment will doubtless be pleasing. One
of Melina Chickering & Son's pianos will be used
on the occasion.
JOHN QUINCY ADAVS.—Dr. W. M. Cornell re.
'heated his lecture on this great statesman, by request,
on Thursday evening last, in the Ebenezer Independent
Church, Keisingtoti. Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, the house was filled with an attentive
audience. The lecture, which wee previously read be
fore the "Pennsylvania Historical Society,' was ex
oeedingly interesting.
THR GRRAT CRAVAT ERPORIVIL—We are autho-
need to state that the display of elegant article,
for the neck, in the shape of ties. superb fancy and
Valli cravats, scarfs, stocks, collars—patented rad
unpatented etcetera, at No. en Chestnut street,
is now at its meridian glory. The stars in the cra
vat trade, of other days, have paled their ineffectual
fires before the brilliant array of Mr. Eshleman's
princely spring importations. His store, during the
present week, has been a perfect holiday scene. Seve
ral hundred presents for geotlemea•have been purchased
by the fair sex at their counter within the past few days.
Good for the ladies 1 Their taste in the matter is un
impeachable.
IVIEDICATED CONFECTIONERY. —We were not
aware that the counters of a well-conducted confec
tionary establishment contained so many plessant arti
cles for the palate, of a really medicinal character, un
til we ascertained this fact at the great Philadelphia
Confectionery Emporium of Messrs. E. G. Wharton k
Co., Second street, below Chestnut. Their various pre
parations for colds, sore throat, and other seasonable
. .
complaints, have, ia fact, become quite popular. There
le no mistaking the feat that their stock of goods is the
finest and purest in the city.
lItTERESTINU DISCOVERIES TO ANTIQUARIANS
have recently been made in the Great Desert, beyond
the river Jordan. In a remote region unvisited by Eu
ropean traveller, ancient towns had been found, the
houses all as perfect as if the inhabitants had just left
them. In one of these cities is a large building, like a
castle. built of polished marble beautifully cat. This is
surrounded by a wall. ootangular in shape, in which are
constructed four massive gates of brown stone, each
stone being covered by insoriptions in an unknown
alternator, but resembling the Greek alphabet, although
it is suspected Ahoy are referable to the ancient Ha
myaritio alphabet, formerlr used in Southern Arabia.
Copies and impressiont of several inscriptions have
boon forwarded to some of our moat noted rayons, to
discover whether not they make any allusion to the
elegant and fns able Spring styles of Granville

usement of an assocretten which enseedered, and is
endeavoring to maintain. an antagonism between work
men and employer.. having appeared in the papers, we
notice them to correct the misstatements
It is not tree that we are desirous of employing men
more than ten hours par day ; neither is it tree that vi
have reduced the price for overtime. The rule which
the association desires tis to change or abrogate is as
follows, viz :
" Work necessary t t i m e done before or after rendes
hours will be rated at and quarter time. and it
expected everyone will do his part cheerfall/ when
called upon '
This rule has been in operation two years end two

In mating t he role the price was fixed at the hithest
average rates of other city shops t work done at the
rates fixed is a lou to the proprietor. We therefore
virtually abolished, and so worded the rule—t. e., when
areersory, and on no other amount do we permit it,
To show our estimation of overwork, we will state
that, during the year of 1839. the average *mount of
overwork per WOW was three hours. and the difference
to the toes, if his wages are 132 per day. is 15 tents per
annum, mg: at our rates 75 cents, at the association'.
rates 90 cents, It is evident, from this statement, that
it Is but a plea to get the control otabotis in which their
members are employed, and to prevent employment of
any who ate not members of the association. And sirs
farther proof of this, - we quote the AS article of the cat
enation of the easnotatton:
The objects of this Milan shall be to unite and as
imwate together es far aspracticable. the efficient
workmen of the two trade, represented in this &vela

M. W. ft. k Co. further say. we s• wee by ostmudation
