with petitions for the protection of home in

or .planting South- Carolina. The sentiment
of the diy was emphatically aid impressively
illustrated by the fact that YfASBiKUTOK wore
a coat oi domestic cloth on the day of his in
auguration, “giving, 1 ’ as aN ew York Jour
nal ot the day said, - . «to Ws. successors and to
legislators of after-time, an indelible lesson
'as to < the mdans ■ of premoting national pros
perity.’’ ' 1 ~ ‘
. Onr’ first tatiff ibill Was approved by Gen.
WASXwOTOXonthedthjnly, 1789, sixty-five
days, aftoftheorganization of the first Con
gress, ‘ The, preamble to the act reads.thns i
« Whereas, if is necessary for the support ot
Government, for the discharge of the debts oi
the United, States.andthe encouragement
and protection of manufactures, that duties be
laid pn goods. and merclpmdise im
ported,” gtc. The duties orthia act Were in
but few inatancesabove ten per Cent.;
the coal of ; Virginia, getting a pro
tection’ of two ceriia per bushel, her
hemp sixty cents per cwt., and twine and
packthread nude of, it two dollars per cwt.;
snuff ten cents per ltr., and cigani flve per cent.
These rates were 1 inadequate for: any of the
purposes enumerated' in the preamble to the
set. Another tariff/passed oh the 10th Au
gust, 1790, by the same Congress, recites the
preamble of the first act, adding, ‘‘ And where
as. the support of,Government and the dis.
charge of the juid. debts render it necessary to
increase, the'said duties/’ Btc. , It added to
the rates ot the flrst, in the majority of arti
cles,^ twenty-five, fifty, and one hundred per
cent. The happy results of these provisions for
the public welfare became immediately appa
rent—instantly; indeed, because the confidence
of security and snccess has the power, through
the operation of a well-based credit, to antici
pate lime. In October, 1791, Washihotox,
writing to Lt Lushas*, holds,this language:
<• In my tour I confirmed, by observation, the
accounts which we bad til along received of
the happy effects oi the General Government
upon our agriculture, commerce/and industry.
The same effects pervade the'Middle and
Bastein SbitM, with the addition of vast pro
gress-In the moat useful manufactures.” But
two lyears.before,', industry, commerce, and
credit had well nigh perished, bnt, under the
touch of> a master hand, they had already a>-
snmedthe vigor of health and the cheerfulness
of hope.

Reception of the Japanese,-
Lcoxhaxt has related in his Lmhof Sir
Waxtu Scon, that when Geohoe theTourth
visited iSdluburghj ln August 1822, though he
wae charmed with the picturesque beauty of the
ancient nietropolis, h? was most impressed with
the good orderwhich was maintained among the
immense masses of population who congre
gated from all parts of Scotland to see the first
monarch, of the Hanoverian line who' had
visited them', dnring a period of over one hun
dred years.'. « Eyery.. street, square, garden,
or open space, paved with solid masses of
•itenf spectators-” .This staid hearing, in
the midst of curiosity and welcome, so much
struck the King that he exclaimed, when sub
sequently describing the scene, "The Scotch
are a nation of gentlemen.”
- Very much'of‘this character was the popu
lar reception ,of the Japanese Embassy in
Philadelphia on - Saturday. It is calculated
that as many as half a. million of persons were
prescnt-r-we thbilc there must have been even
a mnoh greater number—bnt, though their pa
tieuco was sorely tried by waiting for the dis
tinguished strangers for several hours, neither
impatience nor til-temper cloudsingle
brow,' There; wm no’clamor; and we have not
heard ofany misconduct, amid the great crowds
who thronged the leading thoroughfares of onr
city, nor of the eUghtest manifestation of row
dyism. The Japanese must have felt that
they were received, not by the authorities
only, but by the citizens at large, in a manner
thoroughly respectful and gracious. We hope,
whan they get home and report that Philadel
phia has thns shown itself to be a city of gen
tlemen, that they will not have to make a con
trary statement concerning New York, which
they will'vteit in a few days. We do not like
to be personal, bnt New York it essentially
rowdyish.

Messrs J> Sejigqur and W. Cutter, .with Misses

Academy of Music.
. The Matinee, at the. Academy, which comes off
on Tuesday afternoon, for tbe especial gratification
of the Japanese, (and the rest of mankind,) will
be under tha sole direction of Wheatley and Clarke.
At Washington, the Japanese had no ehanoe of
seeing any theatrical performances, and those on
Tuesday will be wholly hew to them. The Over
ture to the Opera of ‘‘William Tell,” played by 1
Dodworth’s Aroh street Orchestra and the Germa
nia Band, will oommenoe the performances; after
which the Ssoond Aot of “ Loomis Borgia ” will
follow —the parts of Oennaro and Lvcrezia by
Signor Tsmaro (a good tenor) and Signora Parodi.
Tho amnsing faroe of “Tho Bough Diamond”
comas next, with Mrs. John Drew and Mr. J.S.
Clarke in the leading parts, , and the Japanese
will .be laughter-proof if the broad humor of
Mr. Clarke does- not greatly, amuse them
Then, Perqdl wfll .ring The Star Spangled
Banner,” - to which her. mispronunciation of
our language has generally, given a oomio
element: The chorus will be sang by tha two Meon.
nerchor Associations, and we are confident, will be
grandly-and Impressively delivered. Is there no
Amerioan female singer in ihie olty who eontd
give onr National. Song, on an occasion like this ?
To, say tha truth, Parodi appears de trop In this'
programme, which ought to consist chiefly of
American compositions and performers. If it be
- requisite for, the 'Japanese to hoar an Italian
printa donna, a better, singer than Parodi might
easily have been found. Signor Blits will perform'
some of hlacuriona sleight-of-hand tricks—the Ja
panese are some of tho best performers in this line
in die world,, and will be able to consider bis
performances with critical eyes. JOie Danoe of
Two Nations,. expressly prepareWbjr Mr. W.
Wood; two choruses by the Maennerohors; a pan
tomimic haliet. by. Mr. Wooflj Madlle. Tbercse,
Miss Rosalie Wood; Aq., and tho charming May
Pole Dense, from " The Bast Men of the Olden
Time,” will complete and eonolnde a very varied
and generally attractive series of performances.
The admission to ail parts of the house will bee
dollarwhich would not bo too mnoh, in the pre
sent state of excited curiosity which has fevered
the mind of onr sober olty, for a good and con
tinuous view of the Japanrse, on their first theatri
cal visit.
We would remind onr readers of the propriety
of not waiting to the last moment to purchase
tickets of admission. They are procurable at the
box-office of the Aeademy of Mnsio, and also at
La Pierre House. Girard-House, and 0 ontinental

Disunion Convention at Richmond, Va,
[CorrMFondtnM of The Press j
Richmond, V»,, Jane 9,1860.
I reaohed this really lovely Southern olty wly
this morning. It is situated on tbe left bank of
James river, and at tbo head of tide-water, and Is
aboat one hundred mties southwest of Washington,
It is a favorite expression of the Virginians, in speak
ing of their favorite city, to ssy that, like
Rome, it is located on soven bills. Rlohmond
oombines many elements of grandeur and
variety. The river winds among verdant hills,
whioh rise with graceful undulations, and
whioh is interrupted by numerous Islands and
granite rooks. The city Is laid out regularly in rec
tangular blocks.. There are twelve parallel streets,
eaoh nearly three miles In length. The C ap r ifol
buildings are situated on Shookoo hill, the fash
ionable quarter of the town, and a most delightful
resort it is, particularly so at this luxuriant sea
son of the year. The Capitol ie tho prominent fea
ture of Richmond, standing as It does in tbe oentre 1
of a public square of some eight acres, and U
adorned with a portico of lonic columns, and con
tains the celebrated .marble statue of Washington,
by Houdon, taken from life. The olty hall, cus
tom house, penitentiary, armory, theatre, Masonio
hallj orphan asylum, and market houses, all of
them imposing, and some of them are splen
did structures. There are. three banks, seven*
teen newspapers, ef whioh six are dailies,
thirty- churches, representing all denomina
tions, and a number of pnblio institutions and
colleges. Richmond Is growing very rapidly. It
is eonneoted with the main railroad lines running
North and South, and with Philadelphia and New
York by semi-weekly lines of steamers. Its trade
Is constantly improving. The ohief articles of ex
port are tobeooo, wheat, and dour. The brand of
the Riohmond flour has acquired great oelebrity.
Tbe population Ss about 40,000, of whom one-half
are white, and the remainder colored, and of these

of which are excellent. *
The society of Riohmond is refined and intelli
gent, The colored population will be out in full

There hu been any number of disunion meet
ings in tbe Southern States, but this is, I believe,
the first time that treason has been hatched in the
Old Dominies. Call the Convention that is to
meet here on Monday by whatever name yon please,
It is nothiog else than a preparation to'overthrow the
Colon of these States. If the objects of tbe lead
ers can be accomplished sectionalism will become
the rule, and slavery the only issue in party poli
tics. If the doctrines of Mr. Yancey and Mr,
Rhett are ever adopted by the Southern people,
there is no hope of restoring fraternal relations
between the two divisions of the country, and a
break-up is inevitable. Think of R. Barnwell
Rhett and W. Lowndes Yancey as the leaders of
the Demooratio party! The former, while a
Senator in Congress, was universally
ed as the embodiment of the most fearful doc
trines, and was universally denounced, notwith
standing his fine abilities, by the Democratic
party. The latter, though more conserva
tive up to a later period, was yet too violent for
his own people; and yet now, though careful to
deny his hostility to the Union, is the organ of a
movement which xonst end in disruption unless It
is suddenly checked. There are many conserva
tive men in the Bouth, and many here in Rioh
mond. But the trouble in Virginia, and
elsewhere, is in the iaot that these gen
tlemen are endorsed by the fire-eaters. Many
of the aspirants for offioe hesitate to grapple
with them; and the faotions consequent upon this
state of things make confusion worse. Demo
crats like Governor Letcher are publioly averse to
tho schemes of Yaneey and his associates, and a large
and increasing party favors Mr. Douglas and his
claims, I am not surprised to* hear that many of
the prominent men in Richmond heartily disap
prove the second edition of tho Hartford Conven
tion, nor am I astonished that great local feeling
prevails against them- These managers now profess
a disposition to adjourn till the Baltimore Conven
tion has concluded its action, when,*if they fail to
intimidate that body, they will fall back upon
Richmond, set up a full disunion tioket, and make
a oanvass under the joint lead of Yancey and
Rhett. ' North Star.

would be insulted and beaten. I think Mr.

But he ought to be protected in the expression
of his honest opinions. Hehas thus far forborne
to armhimseif, or in the slightest degree ter defend
himself, but I shall not -be surprised if even his
equanimity gives way before the threats of his foes,
and if another bloody comment is famished to hla

The assurance of the Southern seoeders from
the Obarleston Convention is surpassing. Mr*
Yancey is as complacent in his demands upon
the Baltimore Convention, whioh is to assemble

SPECIAL DESPATCHES fa f < THE PRESS.”
WAStuxQTO.v, June 10,1860.
HOJf* CHARLES BROWN, OP PHILADELPHIA, BE
FORE THE COVODE COMMITTEE.
,Mr. Brown was before the Corode Committee on
Saturday morning, when he 'was examined on the
subject of the reported difficulties and negotia
tions between Mr. Buchanan and his Administra
tion and Mr. Forks?, in relation to tbe Post Offioe
printing ■ Mr. Brown said that ail he knew of the
matter, personally, end he did not suppose they
wanted him to y > i■« vond Ibis, was derived from
private conveneh/xi4 with the parties, whioh he
would not deem himself authorised to make public
anywhere, were they not in his opinion alike
creditable to all the parties concerned, and
calculated to remove what he believed to be
erroneous impressions of a different character that
had been made on the pqhUc mind.
He said that some time In April or May, IB6f, he
visited Washington as the intimate friend of Mr.
Buchanan and Mr. Forney, to see if he could not
reconcile the that had arisen
between them. Th&t,st ms (Mivßfiown’b) request,
he had a full, free, and friendly conversation with
Mr. Buchanan on the subjeot. That the Pres!,
dent expressed, and to his mind no doubt seri
ously, his regret at the apparent alienation
of Mr. Fornby, and his desire to restore and main
tain the mostfriendly retatlons.with him, and spoke
of what he had done and offered to fie for Mr- For
nby. That be (Mr. Brown) told the President that 1
Mr. Fornby had not wanted any offioe of any kind,
but simply to be restored to tbe situation he occu
pied under Gen. Pibbcb's Administration—to bo
the editor and proprietor of the National De
mocratic organ at Washington, and to enjoy tbe
benefits usually aooorded to that paper by the
party.
To this Mr. Buchanan, after remarking on the
bitter contest tben going on in regard to the pub
lio printing, expressed his determination to take
no part in it in any way, nor in relation to tho
Democratic newspapers there; but that be had
no doubt if Mr. Foiinry would keep out of
the contest for a few months, until it was settled,
that he would obtain the situation he de
sired, and in the meantime suggested bis ac
ceptance of the Liverpool Consulate, which bad
been offered to him, and whioh was an honora
ble and profitable position. This, Mr. Brown
saldj'he knew was out oi the question, and would
not be accepted. It was then suggested, by whlob
of them he could not say, whether by the Presi
dent or himself, that Mr. Fornby might edit
some newspaper until the public printing question
was settled, and his Administration fairly estab
lished. The President suggested tbe Tennsylva'
nian y or if that oould not be obtained, that be should
start a new Democratic paper at Philadelphia.
To thlfMr. Brown replied that a Democratic pa
per at Philadelphia oould not support Itself with
out pnblio patronago; and then it was that the sug
gestion, was made, either by the. President or him. i
asff, he could not now recolieot which, that the Post
Offioe blank printing might be given to him. The
President, in speaking of this, remarked that his
knowledge on the subjeot was very limited, both as
to its value and the extent of Ms control over it >
bnt that If he found it was nt his disposal, and
would be of advantage to Mr. Fobnby, he would
give it to him in preference to any other person.
In all this conversation with the president, Mr.
Brown said he was certain that Mr. Buchanan
had no idea of the profits to be derived from this
work, nor had he the least intention of doing aught
but honestly to perform bis duty to the public, and
assist Mr. Fornby in a proper enterprise*
Of ail which Mr. Brown said he Informed Mr.
Fornby on his return to Philadelphia. This, Mr-
Brown said, was the only conversation he ever had
with the President on the subject. The Press was
started in August, and supported the measures of
the Administration until some time in November,
when a difference of opinion apparently arose be
tween it and the Administration, in regard to Go
vernor-WALKER’a eourse in Kansas. Mr. Brown
said on his visits subsequently to Washington on
hia own business, down to December 1857, or Janu
ary 1858, the last time before Mr. Buchanan bad
sent Into Congress his special message in rela
tion to the Leoompton Constitution, he had bad
acme conversation with Judge Black, Mr.
Cobb, and other member*, or perhaps per
sons connected with the Administration, from
which It was apparent' to him that tbe Kansas
question waa to be made a test by the Administra
tion in regard to those who were to enjoy its confi
dence and favor, and this, on hia return to Phila
delphia, he told Mr. Forney, and warned him, if
he pursued the course he was pursuing in rogard
to the Kansas difficulties, &e need not expect any
patronage of any kind for his paper from the Ad
ministration. To this Mr. Forney replied that be
had taken hia atand on the subject when he first
started his paper, with tho full and expressed ap
probation of the Administration, and that If they
ohoso to change their position, he wonld not for all
the patronage the Government had to bestow.
That he believed his course was right in itself, and
that be would have taken the same whether it waa
approved by the Administration or not, and that
nothing on earth should induce him te ohange it,
until he waa convinced it waa wrong.
Mr. Brown said, as he had had no notice of the
subjects on whieh he was called before the com
mittee to testify, he oould not pretend to aoouraoy
as to date?, or the express words of the parlies, but
could only Btate the impressions the facta bad left
upon his mind, and that he desired to say most
emphatically that in all his conversation with Mr.
Buchanan and the members of his Cabinet, no
thing had occurred that inducod Mm to boliev*
they had any desire to Mr. Forney 1 ?
Support by bestowing upon him patrqnego, npr by
Mr. Fornby to oppose the measures of the
istration because it had been withheld from him.
Mr. Brown wae asked whether Mr. Buchanan
didsot, in the interview to whioh he hod referred,
state to him that If Mr. Fornby would accept the
Liverpool consulate he would make his pay equal
to his own.: Mr. Brown answered that he had no
recollection of the President making suoh an offer.

here on hor WAy to Quebec. She also brings
dates to tho 31st ult, by telegraph, via Queens
town.
The steamship.Tentonia arrived at Queenstown

The steamers City of Washington and Bohe
mian arrived at Qaecastown on tho 31st ult.
The steamers Canada and City of Manchester
arrived at Liverpool on the 28th ult.
THE SICILIAN INBURhEOTION.
The despatches from Sicily are very oontradio
. ory. It is e&id that the popular rising in Palermo
and the bombardment of that city was progressing,
and that Garibaldi had entered it, or was hourly
expected to do se.
The Neapolitan despatobee, on the contrary, claim
the defeat and flight of tm insurgents.
The despatches repair l the assertion that Gen,
Garibaldi had defeated Royal troops and en
tered Palermo, but it Is not confirmed.
Several Neapolitan vessels had arrived at Pa
lermo.
The Paris Patrie says that the insurrection was
being organised to such an extent that its definite
results were no longer doubtful The fall of Pa
lermo was inevitable, and It was only a question of
time. As soon as the insurgents become master of
Palermo, Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to
Italy.
The latest despatches assort that everything was
going on well for Garibaldi.
The English and French residents at Palermo
had embarked on board the steamers of their re.
speetive nations. An attack by tho insurgenta was
expected ever? moment.
The Neapolitan general would defend the town.
The insurgents atilT occupied the heights surround
ing Palermo.
A Neapolitan despatob, datod 20th ult., says the
ioaurgents wore attacked and routed from tbeir
strong position at Gasoo, which is now occupied by
the Royal troop* The Insurgonta suffered heavy
losses and were being pursued.
Messina despatches, dated tbe 22d ult, state that
order prev*)tod. but an outbreak would surely take
place if Garibaldi proved successful in entering
Palermoyof which no doubt was expressed. Ga
ribaldi's forces would in that event be swelled to
40,000. The war cry of the insurgents is “no quar
ter,/' and In tho returns of the engagements the
column for the wounded ia not filled out.
A Naples despatch of M*y 28th says the Sici
lian* are leaving Garibaldi, who was beaten at
Piana Many were killed and taken prisoners, end
the fugitives were pursued beyond Corsone.
The Sardinian Chambers Lave approved tbe ces
sion of Savoy to Prance.

The' Hie hmoml Convention.
Richmond, June 10.- Robert G. Soott, of Ala
bama, addressed the oitfeens last sight, defending*,
tbe Southern foovement at Charleston, denying
that it was a disunion movement, but one to save
the Union, by maintaining equal protection to all.
Be denounced Mr. Douglas and squatter sove
reignty in unmeasured terms. If the Richmond
Convention adjourned to Baltimore, ho would there
insist upon tbe same platform as at Charleston. If
this was refused ho would come back.
Mr. Fishor, YW n * a » B l>oke, vindioating
bis course at Charleston.
Nearly ail theidelegatos from Louisiana, Texas,
Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina,
and Florida, havp arrived here.
There is a grpat diversity of opinion as to the
course to be pursued, though nearly all agree on
going to Baltimore, to contest the seats of the
Douglas claimants before taking final action. The
difficulty is whether they should resume their
seats if granted them, unless the platform adopted
at Charleston is rescinded.
Tbe Louisiana delegates demand of tho Virginia
delegation to pledge themselves to withdraw it the
ceoeders are not Admitted to seats; it being con
tended that if Virginia will pursue this oourse,
North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and part of
Maryland, will follow suit, Caleb Gushing
will resign and leave tho ohair.
The position of the Now York delegates is also
anxiously discussed. It Is contended by Borne who
have boen to New York and sounded the delegates
that they are ready to abandon Douglas, while
others claim to bo equally well assurod that they
are more firmly wedded to Douglas than over einoo
the withdrawal of Mr Soymour, and that some of
them expressed a determination to oppose the ad
mission of any detog&tes who are accredited to the
Riohmood Convention, on the ground that they are
dlsorganizers and not National iiemoorata.
Mr. Yancey will not arrive before to-morrow af
ternoon, bis object being to take no part in the
organization of the Convention. What oourse he
will urge in the Convention to meet the views of
the majority is not known yet. Both Mr. Rhett
and Mr. Yancey bare been in favor of nominating,
and having nothing to do with the Baltimore Con
vention. The South Carolina delegates are not
accredited to Baltimore, and will urge indepen
dent action.
The people of Richmond seem to take little In
terest in the Convention. There are no oommittees
of reception or arrangement, and no hall was en
gaged for the ponvenlion until yesterday. But
few, if ahy, outside visitors have been attracted
here by the Convention from any of the States.
A great effort will be made for harmony and
united sentiment. The Convention will probably
adjourn to await the action at Baltimore, and the
delegates will immediately repair to Washington
to consult as to the course to be pursued at B&U1-
more. There is great feeling expressed against the
Douglas. delegates from the Southern States who
wIU claim seats at the Baltimore Convention.

jouraeyiqgs, receptions, and parades of the last
few days, ft was determined by the Naval Commis
sion and the Committee of Councils that yesterday
should be devoted to repose. From reasons that
will be apparent, this deoision was especially grate
ful to the members of the Embassy and those hav.
iog them in oharge. As a consequence, the apart
monte of the Eqteusy were strictly private-no
visitors, other than those connected with the depu
tation, were admitted. Tbe curiosity of our citi
zens did not abate, and during the day there was a
-crowd, to the number of two or three hundred per-"
sons, assembled on tbe portico and steps of the Gl.
rard House, and in the street in front of the Con
tinental. Nothing of a disorderly nature occurred,
although, as a very proper prudential move, anum
ber of polloemen .were on hand to prevent any in
trusion or improper demonstrations.
The members of the Embassy amuse themselves
in various manners. The artists were busily en
gaged in sketching the Girard House, and such
scenes on Chestnut and Ninth streets as seemed to
please their fancy. Tho Prinoes remained retired,
and did not venture beyond their parlors. Occa
sionally one of the officials or lower membors Of
tbe deputation would appear at a window, or on
the balcony, much to the amusement or gratification
of the crowd in front. We noticed during the day
a'Chinaman, a reside nt of Philadelphia, among tb®
spectators. He excited a great deal «of interest)
from tho foot that many of the people took him for
one of the Japanese. He, however, manifested as
mnok interest In the movements of his felloe and
more favored Mongolians of Japan as the Amort
| cans.
Some of the deputation were taken up to the
roof of tfae building, where they had a good view of
tho oityand its suburbs. The day was dear, th e
prospect favorable, and they seemed-very much
delighted at beholding the proportions of our mag*
nifioont metropolis. One or two of them accepted
on invitation to ride out In the city, in the morn
ing. They were in close carriages, and were thus
saved from any annoyance.
We do nos know what arrangements are for to
day. From prudential motives the doings of the
Embassy are kept private from even the reporters
of tho press. They do not care to invite
a publicity, which, in the present state of
feeling among onr citizens, would certainly
subject our guests to an unintentional, though &
no less disagreeable, annoyanoe. We have no
doubt, however, that everything will be done by
the proprietors of the hotel and the represents*
tlvcs of Council, to render the stay of these gentle
men among us of the moat pleasant character, so 1
that when they leave us they will carry away ,
nothing bat tbe most agreeable reoelleoiions of
Philadelphia and its people.
Present to tub Japanese.—The ert
terprisingproprietorsof Messrs. L. Johnson A Co.’s
Type #nd Stereotype Foundry (which, by tbe way,
is one of tbe oldest and most extensive establish
ments of the kind in Amerios, and probably as
oomplete a! any in the world) bare prepared a
splendid box for presentation to tbe Japanese Am
bassadors, who, it is we believe understood, are to
visit tbeir foundry to-day. Through tbe courtesy
of these gentlemen, we were favored with an ad
vance glimpse at this elegant present, on Saturday
morning. The box, which may be said to contain
a stereotype and electrotype foundry in miniature,
Is of massive walnut, and is surrounded by an ele
gant silver tablet bearing the following inscription :
“ Presented to thb Japanese Embassy sr L.
Johnson A Company, Fhidadblphia m
The contents of the box embraoc, in surprising
minutia, the wonderful perfection to which this
department of our moohanio Arts has attained. In
ono department of it Is a great variety of the print
ing types manufactured by this firm, consisting of
Greek, Hebrew, Script, German, and Music char
aoters, as well as ornamental type and borders, and
Roman type of all descriptions and sizes. There
is also in it a page of type representing President
Buchanan’s reply to the Ambassadors, with stereo,
type'and electrotype plates of tbe same, together
with an assortment of beautiful oleotrotyped outs;
also a wood-out of J. 8., tbe Anierioao Tycoon.
There arc also contained in the box a casting mould,
and punches and matrices, representing the ohlef
members of the Embassy; in their proper charao*
tors, the mode of using which will bo praotioally
illustrated to the visitors.
The crowning beauty of this noble and appropri
ato gift, however, Js a oopy of L. Johnson Jk Co.’s
Book of Specimens, (which may be regarded as a
standard odltion of the world's progress in the
printing art,) bound in the most gorgeous and sub
stantial manner by Messrs. J. B. Lipplnoott &
Co., of this oity. The centre of the iront panel
also bears a presentation inscription, in gold let
ters ; whilst in the back panel is worked, in colors,
the Amerioan and Japanese flags snrmountod by
tbe Banner of Peace, and the Amerioan Eagle.
The edges are elaborately embossed in the Mosaic
taste, tbe execution of which required about 15,0 DD
separate impressions.
The entire getting up of this affair reflects great
credit upon the donors, and we heartily oongratu*
lftto Messrs. Mookellar and J, F. dßiobard Smith,
on this triumph of skill ana enterprise. for wo un
derstand the whole has been achieved within a
week!
Wo also learn that tho enterprising publish
ing house of Messrs. J. B. Lippinoott & Co. in
tend to present to tbe Embassy a copy of their
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and their Gazet
teer of the World, splendidly bound.

instituted by the People’s Party, In reference to
Bohool Directors in the Second ward, by which the
eleotion of Messrs. Greenfield, Johnson, Carney,
Wells, Alien, and MoGlttiogen, was contested, tbe
coart quashed the petition, and so ended the case.
The contest for School Directors of the Twelfth
ward was taken up, and after hearing the evidence
which was introduced to set aside the election of
Bernard Sprankand Robert Wilson, the court or
dered tbe ballot-boxes of the Fifth division of the
, ward to be brought into eourt to-day for a recount.
The oase of the Surveyor in the Tenth district,
(Twenty-third ward) was t&An up. The contest
ant is Mr. Foulkrod, the Democratic candidate,
and the allegation was that tickets headed “for
, Surveyor and Regulator” were received by the
, eleotion officers, when the proper beading should
! havebeen ‘for Ward Officers.” The court seemed
to think that the point vu not well taken, as the
Tenth distriot was made up of portions of two
1 wards, and the candidate was not in the correot
sense of the term a ward officer.

great’y to the pleasures of the day VenterUismest.

A Card.— A just and equitable-regard tot the
rights of others, as well ns for his own, has induced Mr.
Granville Stores , the celebrated fashioner and
olothier of No- 607 Chestnut street, to inaugurate his
system of marking one pries os each article of clothing
sold (or measured for.) aiui presenting to each patron a
valuable gift—a rule that will, in no circumstances, be
deviated irom; thus Tende.mg each purchaser a sharer
in the general profits of the establishment; or, in other
words, giving them i superior 'article, gotten np in the
very best style, at lest eott than they can procure else
where, and paying them a 6on to for their custom.
The cost of the article presented is in no caeeaddecQo
that of the garments sold, but is reduced therefrom,
simply si an inducement to secure iaoreased patron
age. Nothing of a bogus or useless character i«
given away,*and every article sod and presented
guaranteed to give satisfaction. Gbaxvillk Stokes’s

I From the Family Pictorial, New York, Aoyost, IS®, {
Thu Art op Saving —Berjiinin Franklin, in
Mi writings, tells us that “ Poor Richard "declared" an
ounce of prevention was worth & pound ot cur*," gad
the dear good old man was right. He, Poor Richard,
would insist upon mending everything as hub as U was
broken, and thereby saved much trouble and loss from
enlargement of (he injury, one dai. a witty women said
to a venerable Quaker, noted for his strenuous adhe
rence to the principle* of" Poor Richard,"
"You are always for mending and patching, and yet
in spite of your doctrine, that* a stitch in time savos
nice,’l'll lay you something pretty,that a rent ora
hole will wear twice as long as a patch."
“Even so my good dame *' replied the Quaker, “ bn I
garments with patches will wear thrice as long as with
rents or hole*."
What would Poor Richard or Benjamin Frauklurkare
said if Spalding* Prepared Glut had been in existence
during their time?- It is oertainlv the greatest <lo*o
- ever introduced to the public, and its remarkable
