Tlie Message of the Governor.
His Excellency tbe Governor, in a brief
and patriotic message to tbe Legislature,
announces bis intention to retire from, tbe
service of tbe State at tbe close of bis present
term. This will be surprising news to tbe
people, although those in the confidence of
ttie Governor knew that such has been bis
intention for. some time. It was tbe desire
of the loyal people of the State to pay an
appropriate tribute to tbe fidelity and energy
of the Governor by tendering him a re
‘ election, but bis weak; and shattered health
compelled him to decline What would other
wise have bean ,a , most gratifying compli
ment, and to accept the offer by tbe President
of a foreign embassy. In making this
announcement, the Governor takes oeca
: sion to recapitulate the part Pennsylvania
has taken in the war. “We will do the
Governor the Justice to guy, that lie has
I'iold liis story with modesty and truth.
’His own part in these works lias been so
prominent—lie has given so much devotion
•and energy—lie, lias been so constantly
■and unselfishly the friend of the Adminis
tration—in times of danger he has been
-■so-prompt, that tlie history of Pennsylvania
and her struggles for tlie cause is nothing
more than the history of the Governor’s
We know that this is a
3figh compliment, but it is deserved. His
Excellency, in announcing liis retirement,
can feel that be has done bis duty like a
faithful public servant, and that while pre
eefying the honor and ..dignity of the State,
he has been loyal and true to the United
States.”
A King tor Greece.
Tlie Revolution, -which drove a German
dynasty from the throne of Greece, was una
nimously and quietly effected on the 22d of
last-October, without the effusion of one
drop of blood. Never was any great na
tional 1 movement so peacefully and yet so
completely executed. After a reign of thirty
years—for Otho of Bavaria condescended to
accept the Crown on the sth October, 1832,
he then' having attained the mature age of
seventeen /—the Bavarian-Greco dynasty
tumbled down, precisely like the castle built
of cards with which childhood amuses itself.
"What ensued is so notorious that we need
not here detail it. The leading Greeks,
mysteriously imbued with the idea that
an English prince would he “the
most desartless man” for the situation, and
probably deceived by British misrepresenta-
tions, elected Prince Alfred, a midshipman
of eighteen, and the national vote confirmed
this. England, however, having obtained
such a complimentary demonstration for one
of her princes, coyly declared that he could
not be spared. So the election went for
nothing. Queen Victoria, however, though
too much overwhelmed with grief at the
death of her husband, in 1801, showed her
self perfectly able, as well as willing, to
attend to the interests of her family. Doubly
a Cobourg, by 1 descent and by marriage,
she used eveiy effort imher power to prevail
upon her cousin,- Ferdinand of Cobourg,
\ ("who had been King-Consort of Portugal,j
to become a candidate for the crown of
Greece, and, on his judicious declension of
the proffered dignity, next tried to place her
brother-in-law and cousin, the reigning
Duke of Saxe Cobourg-Gotha, in the
same position. Of him -it -might be said,
“Barkis is willing,” .provided means
. were taken to put Greece out of debt be
fore he ascended the throne." The na
tional debt is not very much, (somewhat
about $5,000,000 we believe, j but it is due
to England, France, and Russia, and, at all
events, the two latter Powers did not exactly
see the necessity of foregoing their respective
claims, as creditors, in order to help a Ger
man prince, the protege and near relative of
the Queen of England. So, the‘second
Cobourg candidature fell through. A third
was, slightly manoeuvred for, in the person
of the Count of Flanders, cousin to Queen
- Victoria and second son of King Leopold,
(uncle of Victoria and Albert, ) but the
.astute ruler of Belgium had too much saga
city and prudence to.permit a son of 'his to
nun such a risk. .
. At last, after a suspense of five months,
the Greeks have made a choice, evidently
at the suggestion or under the influence
of- England,- in the person of the brother-
in-law of the Prince of Wales. The
young gentleman, who is to reign under
the title-of George the First, of, Greece,
is brother of Alexandra, the young
lady who married the Prince of Wales, on
the 10th of March. He was seventeen
years ; old -at Christmas. Like Prince
Alfred,; he. is a cadet in' the navy—of
Denmark, not of England. I-Ie was brought
up in the; Lutheran, faith, but would proba
bly not make much objection to becoming a
member of the Greek Church, inasmuch as
bis second sister, Maria-Sophia-Frede
ri.ca-Dagjieb, . Twill, .probably -become the
yvife of the Ccsarayitnh; heir to the throne
■of Prussia; and must change her faith pre-
Yiqusly. The new King of . Greece, who
•will be eighteen years old at the close of
this, year, is. called Chhistian-William-
Ferdinand-Adolphus-Geoeoe. Nomi
nally a Danish prince, by his father’s hav
ing been adopted by the Parliament of Den
mark, he really is thoroughly German by
birth and blood. The Greeks, then, have
cast off one German ruler to obtain another.
The nation expelled a Bavarian prince, and
must take up a prince of the petty house of
Schleswig - Holstein - Sonderbourg - Glucks-
Jx>u(g. TVliat is more, they dismissed a
9 nan, and have replaced him with a boy.
9 [No. Not the Greeks. It happens that
Greece lias nothing to do but accept, as
King, him whom tliree of the great Powers
of Europe,--fi. e. Prance, Russia, and Bel
gium, ) may place before them. Until the
jmarriage-of the Prince of Wales with the
’■Princess Alexandra was talked of, no one
..dreamed of. a pseudo-Danish ruler for
(.Greece. It is certain that, in the matter
..of advancing her relations and connexions,
(■■Queen Victoria is a true Cobourg. No
; sooner was her-son engaged to the Princess
' .Alexandra, than the expediency of putting
that handsome young lady's brother on the
- throne of Greece came to be considered by
Victoria. We do not yet know whether
. his nomination was made with , the concur
; rence. of Prance and Russia, nor whether
.. Euroj*an royalty, in general, will accept
• ttins youth into ‘‘the family of-Kings.*”
’ But we do know that to place the Prince of
Wales’ brotlier-in-law on the throne of
Greece, would be a political move greatly in
favor of British: influence in the Mcdi
terrancan, the Levant, and the southeast of
Europe. .
The. King elect of Greece, we . beg leavo
to add, has a younger brother, Prince War-
I)F,MER, who, like the rest of the family, is
wery poor. In fulness of time British influ
enco may be exercised for him. Let us sug
gest, as the South want a King, ("according
to Mr. Russell, J that Prince, Waldembr
would be an eligible person for their choice.
.It is true that his Royal Highness will -not
complete his fifth year until next October,
and would have a long minority; but the
Southern monarchy will not he constructed,
at any rate, before he comes to manhood,
and, if he possess the Christian virtue of pa
tience, he can live-in hope, until that event
takes place...
A Steamship Xine to 12urope.
We have , given a great deal of space, at
different times, to the merits of .the question
dow before the City Councils and known as
the “Randall Steamship Project,” and have
permitted its merits to he discussed by those
in favor and. those not in favor of the
scheme. To-day, Mr.. Baldwin favors us
with an elaborate reply to' a communication
printed two weeks since, in which be defends
the plan of Captain Randall, and ‘discusses
Die merits 0 f jpg y ar i ous plans of steamships.
Mr. Baldwin is not a critic, but an ad
vocate, although few persons are more
capable of dealing with this deiicate and
interesting subject. We must remember
that he is a partisan of Captain Ran
dall, and we must make allowances for
the enthusiasm and petulance he occa
sionally manifests. If he had kept his
temper lie-would certainly not have injured
his cause; for the question that really inte
rests.the people ' is, not what Mr. Baldwin
thinks of “ B.”—nor whether the test of
citizenship is our respect’for the Randall
steamers—hut what are the true merits of
the plan before Councils—what is to be
gained by establishing a steamship line,
and what plan will prove of tbe greatest
service lo the city. The discussion of these
may be looked upon as premature, when
we remember that the preliminary steps
have yet to be taken, and that the whole
scheme depends upon the action of Councils
this afternoon.MOur own opiniorTis, that,
notwithstanding the attempts to tamper with
the virtue of Mr. Councilman Bbightlt,
the measure will pass.
Our Councilmen should remember, in
passing this hill, that they are only asked
to decide upon a steamship line to Europe,
We should prefer to see this scheme carried
into effect as a matter of private enterprise,
as we have a serious doubt about the pro
priety of the city interfering in any enter
prise whatever. So long as Philadelphia
holds five millions of the Pennsylvania Rail
road stock she must expect to have ambitious
send avaricious men knocking at her door.
This stock subscription seems to occupy the
most bewildering position. It is the hunch
of grapes on a tempting bough; every fox
seems determined to pull it. We have no
doubt that what has tempted so many has
stimulated the Randall Steamship Company,
and that the action of Councils is really to
give the enterprise a lien upon this stock.
The friends of the measure deny this, and
claim that nothing is expected hut the moral
influence of the city; which we trust is the
case, although moral influence would com
mand a small premium in the money mar
ket. As the measure now stands, there is
every indication of its popularity; and as
we are all anxious to have a line of vessels
to Europe, direct from this point, this may
be the speediest and most proper way of
securing our desire.
LETTER EROM “ OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, April 15, 1863,
I find the English journals discussing the
future of .the. African race, as affected,by
-the war. The London Times, which never
ceased in the days of peace to revile Ame
rica for the crime of slavery, is now slavery’s
ablest and most audacious defender.: This
strange-exhibition of feeling is one of the
most; extraordinary phases of the war. I
can easily imagine an Englishman who
wished for the success of the South and the
dissolution; of the Union, believing that
slavery would- perish with the Dnion. I
can imagine an Englishman acting iin
harmony with the South, hoping thereby
to. break down the power of the Republic,-
and thus rescue the free North . from the
tyranny of Southern domination. I can
imagine any possible reason for friendship
to the South but that assigned by the' Times.
To defend the cause of the (South is. no
thing more than to defend treason; hut to
strengthen that defence by becoming the
friend and eulogist of a system that is re
volting to every instinct of humanity, is to
addto the crime an infamy that cannot be
described. The argiunent of the English
newspaper is repeated by the disloyal press
of the North and South. The war is made
to involve only the question of slavery.
The people are continually told to look upon
the negro as a rival; an enemy j'jjjgb cause
of all their trouble ; an offensive, disagreea
ble, half-brutish being, who lias left a happy
home in the South to create mischief in the
North by taking away from the laborer his
means of life. The negro is constantly
used to create demoralization and disgust
among those who do not think. You re
member the appalling riot in Detroit, and
the brutal outbreaks we occasionally see in
New York and other Northern cities. Re
calling the coarse and ungrateful speech of
General Patterson last summer, and the
studied tone of the Democratic journals and
leaders, I have no doubt that it is their in
tention to inflame the minds of the people
into .a condition of - anarchy and madness.
- Democratic politicians have signalized them
selves by offering petitions for the banish
ment and the prohibition ot the negroes now
in your State and in other States, and cre
ate constant irritation by the discussion of
impossible: problems, in which the social
condition ;6f the whites is' disadvantageously
compared witli that of the negro. Without
pursuing this subject—for my object this
morning, is simply -to point out the fol
lies and wickedness of others, and give
no argument of my own —there can be no
greater crime than this effort to array arace
, against a race. The leaders do not- suffer.
They summon the storm and fly from it,
like the fierce and cowardly leaders of the Ja
cobins, who made the people drunk with wine
and gunpowder,- and, throwing open the
doors of the prisons, left the poor victims to
the pikes and poignards of the mob, while
they fled themselves from a /vengeance that
might returned with the returning
tide of popular passion.. This negro, ques
tion is one that must settle itself. : The laws'
of Nature, society, political economy, sup
ply and demand, will govern and decide it.
It is. but an incident of the war. The
President published his proclamation of
Emancipation just as he published his pro
clamations establishing the blockade and
preventing intercourse with the Southern
States. It was a war measure, and thus far
slavery has only perished by the natural
effect of the war. The Southern people
have made it the foundation of strength
and power, and as we war upon their
strength and power, we find slavery in the
range of our cannon-balls. Wlien English
writers, therefore, attempt to prejudice our
cause by representing the negro as the
victim of Northern rapacity, and heartless
ness, and the- Democratic leaders appeal to
the basest passions of men to excite ven
geance and massacre, •they are not only
guilty of a wrong to this country bur to an
humble and helpless race. Occasional.

. Fortress jWonritoE, April 14.—Major General
Dix returned to this Department last evening, much
to the gratification of theoffleers managing affaiTS
during his temporary absence. The General left for
Suffolk this morning at ten o’clock..
The enemy in lorce are in close proximity to our
lines at Suffolk, but no general engagement is anti
cipated-unless the attack is made by the Union
forces, which is more than probable.
In regaid to affairs at Williamsburg, The Cavalier'
of to-day says: “Governor Wise lias commenced'
entrenching. the other side of "VVillif/msburg. He
has orders to take Fort Mftgluder at all hazards, and
as he is afraid to make an assault, he has Tesortcd to
digging,” .
PLANS OF THE REBELS.
Rebel prisoners say that there was to have been a
simultaneous attack upon Washington, N. C., Suf
folk, Ya., Gloucester Point, and Williamßburg, or
Fort Magruder. The attack on Gloucester Point
was to have been made by General Fitzhugh Lee.
These plAns have probably been somewhat inter
fered with by the reconnoissance ot the 4th Dela
ware Regiment and the Union gunboats up the
York, river.
The French frigate Guerriere arrived here last eve

on the rear of a rebel battery. There has been no

Nisw York, April 15,1863.
THE NEWS FROM CHARLESTON,
in full, is summed up by the press to-day, and the
editors and the . public are drawing inferences arid
devising criticisms with about the usual amount of
sagacity. That Charleston is not taken yet is tacitly
admitted; but it remains to be decided whether the
recent engagement in Charleston bay was really a
battle, or only a “reconnbissance in force.” Much
interest is felt in the solution of this important ques
tion, and I think that is about all the interest vouch
safed to the whole affair. Indeedj such is the appa
rent indifference manifested by our community about
this Charleston fight, that one might suppose the
city of New York to have no more concern in the
matter than a mere outside spectator, and i only
tell a very ordinary truth when I say that the niob
are' already impatient for “another sensation,”.
Certainly, if the repulse of the iron-clads was a de
feat, it is received by the people with a degree of
placidity betokening anything but discouragement.
Last evening the steamer Arajgo, from Port Royal,,
brought a rumor that Dupont had opened fire again,
on Sumpter, It is hardly safe to believe this; yet it
is certainly a settled impression that the expedition:
against the city is not ended.-
HOOKER’S ARMY
is believed by many to be on the move, as the dry
ing weather , of the past few dayß must certainly
have.made the sabred soil of Virginia tolerably solid
by this time; and our military men consider the res
tiveneES ofglhe rebelß about Norfolk and Suffolk a
pretty sure indication that the rebel Government see
something immediately threatening on the Rappa-.
bannock, and wish to create a diversion elsewhere,
if possible, in order to delay Hooker’s passage of the
river, and compel the despatch of some of hia troops
to the aid [of General Keyes. But it is useless to
speculate upon vague conjectures.of this sort, and I
leave the magician of the'Washington telegraph to
tell what happens when it happens.
THE RIOTS, -
as they are called, of the ’longshoremen, which have
kept the reporters on the alert for, several days past)
are merely, repetitions of occasional disturbances
noted, by your correspondent from time to time.
The ’longshoremen are on a : Btrike for higher wages;
and have apoptedthe strikers’usual policy of per
mitting no new hands to work for their employers
at the rates they: themselves have refused. Said
employers have adopted tlie fashion of employing
colored men to succeed the strikers, and the latter
retort by attacking the new men. I wish to make
no excuse forthe ruffianly conduct of the strikers,
and am glad to say, that, for once; the police, are
equal to an emergency, and masters ot the situation;
but I cannot refrain from the belief that, if the sub
stitutes hired were white men, they would fare no
better.-
Tpß EUROPEAN. NEWS,
by the City of New York, though superficially re
assuring, doeß not lessen the impression in commer
cial circles that we are very ii6ar a serious breach
with England, and at last there is some probability
that the Jong-pending measures of harbor defence
will be put into operation. In my letter of some ten
days ago, in which I spoke of the “ Peterhoff” affair
as likely to cause some trouble, I inadvertently spoke
of that veßßel aB sailing under French colors when
captured by "Wilkes, being led into the mistake by a
knowledge of the - fact that a majority of those on
board atthe time of the seizure claimed exemption
for the veeßel, on the ground that she was; destined
for Mexico with surgical supplies, &c M for the
French army. Indeed, it is still a question whether
the English or the French Government has the
greater, right to demand satisfaction for the so-called
‘‘outrage.’ l
for. a prize of $l,OOO, took place last evening, at

If one" swallow does not make a summer, how

Decidedly-t-he pleasantest promenade of the past

The Legislature is.,very busy -hearing-the: pros

the city ; the only Bjolution of so much anxiety- on
the part of the country members would seem to be
the supposition that the byways of city life ire so
attractive to them that they feel their only safety
lies in having the naughty places closed. The pas
sage of a metropolitan police bill has been tried for
several successive years, but hitherto- without re
sult except to strengthen and embitter the feeling
of jealoußy.which always exists between town and
country members of the Legislature. The Hoosac

On Wednesday evening Edward Everett- gave -an
oration before the Union Club on the Union and the

surpassed himself, warming 1 with the theme and the
applause of the' appreciative audience until the
climax of the oration, which is said to have been
more eloquent than any appeal for the Union hereto
fore made in this city. Some half dozen prominent
citizens held a meeting in the court house, last week,
preparatory to the formation of?a Loyal League.

was a most creditable affair to the artistß and the

presence of beautiful women, well-dressed, is cer
tainly no small addition to the charm of these recep

Closing Address of the Speaker.
The SPEaKEK then addressed the Senate as follows, in
resigning his position:
; My duties as presiding'officer of the Senate
are closed, and the hour is at hand when we must sepa
rate and return to our constituents. Pain and pleasure'
are mingled in the closing scenes of a long and laborious
session of the Senate. ' .
Ties of strong personal respect and attachment, formed
by our intimate relations one. to another, fill the heart
with tender emotions, and the thought that the separa
tion, in'this official capacity, is final, and with many of
us will nevetbe renewed, fills ore with feelings, which,
words cannot express. Almost one-fourth of the winter
BPftsons of my life.liave been spent here, and I now leave
these scenes and these responsibilities forever.
In tl e future days of my life, and when the shadows
of the future appear in view, I shall. recur to these as
sociations, especially -those' of the present session, as
amongjhe. happiest of my life.
in the distinguished position which your partiality as
: signed me at the opening ol the session I have triei to do
my dutj*, and have been generously and kindly sustained
by vou all.
There is in this hour, then, a strong desire'to linger
here amid these personalfriendships, but stronger, purer
is that affection which bids us away to our families and
the generous constituency who conferred-upon us these
honors;- \ .
. Whether the’legislation of the sessionjust closing will
meet. the people, orAdd. in any respect to_
.the greatness of the State, remains to ne seen by its prac
tical application. It is ? not the fault of this Senate that
the revenue laws of the State have not been revised, and
a more just and equitable mode of assessment and col
lection of. taxe* been inaugurated. A measure so much
needed should have been considered worthy the atten
tion of the co-ordinate brunch of the Legislature? where
it'must originate.' \ •
The cry of war is still in 'the land? this monstrous,
wicked;'atrocious rebellion-still - exists. Our soldiers
: have passed through the snows and perils of another
Winter, and the spring opins upon them still in arms. >
The traitors, although'nearly exhausted for supplies,
are not yet They persist in this effort to de
stroy tlie Government, ana blot out from the.world the
- dearest and most sacred rights of man. 4 Most of these
are in the army of.the Confederate States, but not all..
This is the last time mv voice shall ever be heard from
this'place, and let me here express my love, myado
•'ratiouof.thssjtfiteoj-form.of' government, my attachment
and respect fijr these incomparable institutions, and in
voke ycur'aid. in whatever sphere you may hereafter
be placed, in sustaining with all your energy every ef
fort made by the constituted authorities of the land to’
save, these," as tlie richest legacy, for our children and

Teuwi’ic Explosion at a Gun-caht
bisqx Mahufaotory—Sevbkal Persons lit
oored.—Yesterday afternoon, between 4 and' s'
o’clock, an explosion occurred in the third story of a
building at the , northeast corner of Second and
Walnut Btreets, where the manufacture of gun
cartridges was carried on. : The building is one of
-the oldest in the city, and communicates, on the
third floor, where the cartridges were made, with
the adjoining building.- Both buildings, until lately,
were one structure, out gome time since were di
vided by partition-walla.; The edifice is owned and
occupied'byjJolm Krider, who recently commenced
the manufacture of patent metallic, cartridges for
Gallagher’s breach-loading rifle, such as are used by
the cavalry of Gen. Eosecrans’ army. Krider re
ceived his contract from Messrs. Richardson & Over
man, Also 'gun-makers, corner of Twelfth’ and
Thompson streets. He employed some ten boys,
whoae. ages ranged from 10. to 15 years, and a fore
man, flamed John T. Siner.
During yesterday Mr. Krider was ill, and left the
establishment in charge of Siner. While the latter
was down Btairs attending to the bpsiness in the
store, an explosion of some ten or fifteen pounds of
powcler and a quantity of cartridges occurred.; The
report waß loud, and distinctly heard for squares.
All the houses in the neighborhood were jarred by
the explosion, and thegreatest excitement prevailed.
The force of the explosion shattered everything in
side the building, knocked the - front wall some dis-
out, and almost completely demolished the
back wall, leaving the upper part of the structure
in a dangerous condition. In the room- back, ad
joining the one in which the exploaion occurred,
there was a keg about two-thirds full of powder.
Near .this a large hole was burned in the floor, the
flames ascending to the-atticj and destroying the
back part of the roof. The bulk window of the.
store adjoining , was -broken by the. large
hole knocked in the rear wall, the glass broken, be
sides other damages..
When the explosion occurred the boys were all at '
'W’ork by themselves, Mr. Sifler, the foreman, being
down stairs. The latter, as soon as he heard the
and, seeing the fire in the back
third-story room, rushed forward to extinguish the
flames, when he fell through the hole burned in the
floor to the second story. He waß badly burned
about the face and hands, and somewhat injured by
the fall. The boys, as soon as : the explosion oc
curred, rushed violently from the .building. One of
them jumped from -the second story, and eaoapecl,
with slight injury.. Two of the lads, named James .
Keown, aged sixteen years, residing in
street, and James Mulhaney, aged thirteen years,-
residing in, Filbert ; court, were shockingly burned
about the face and hands'.; ‘ They were conveyed to
the hospital, and up to a late hour last flight were in
a critical condition. Robert Brace, another.' of
lads,-had his hair burned of£ and Edward Coffey was '
slightly cut about the face; The rest escaped with
small injuries. ; ’ ;
•Fife .Marshal- Blackburn, as soon as the flames '
were extinguished, commenced an investigation into
the cause of affair, but owing to the agitated condi
tion of'all the he coula arrive at no satisfac
tory conclusion. The investigation will be resumed
to-day. All sorts of rumors were afloat yesterday
among the residents of the locality as to the quail- -
4sty ; of powder- on hand, but this -is >not definitely
known at present. Had the* explosion occurred a
few, hours previous, the result would have been
mare dreadful; as a larger qufantity oF finished’ car
tridges had just been sent ojf. The loss, it is thought,
will not exceed $l,OOO.
jiiiiuvAL op Sick and Wounded.—At
midnight on Tuesday a large, number of sick and
wounded soldiers arrived at the Citizens’ Volunteer
Hospital, and although their coining was unan
nounced, they were soon provided with a substantial
-supper and accommodated for the night. Yesterday
morning they were removed'to-the various hospitals.

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
Wall street still offers as its two prominent features,
- the .plefcbora ; of capital seeking investment, contrasted
with the limited demand for loans; and. the continuance
of spasmodic movements in gold, which are productive
of ho variation whatever in the prices of stocks, pro
duce, or general merchandise.
The market is-dull." Governments are steady, but few
new orders are making their appearance from the coun
try, as the excitement relative to our military and naval
operations acts prejudicially for the moment.
list is heavy. In the following table
will be seen the principal movements of this morning, as

The Abt of Light.—To
most persons, such a day as yesterday would seem
to be inauspicious for taking pictures by the action
of light, as is the case in the Various Daguerrean
processes; and'as a . general rule, this is the fact.
Modern science . has, however, to a great extent,
overcome such natural impediments by controlling
thelight in all-weathers. - This has .been, especially
achieved, with marked sucoess,. by. the eminent
912, 914, and 916 Chestnut street! All day jneaT
terday their galleries were thronged with appli
cants for pictures, the only perceptible difference
being, that sifters were waited upon with more
immediate promptness than when the weather is
bright. There‘improbably not an.establishment in
the Union in which

Trade Prospects.—Tile lull which 'has.
sshrted in. thoTs,Jiole«.-rie trade of our city is now
giving place to new Ufa and activity, Many buy ere
have been holding off in the .expectation that mer
chandise for some cause or other would depreciate
in value. But as the complexion of the market is
now clearly indicating,, an opposite tendency, delay
in purchasing, is doubly foolish, first from the-fact
that the majority of country buyers need to have
their stocks, replenished, and secondly, because
waiting for tower prices is now likely to prove to be
an expensive experiment. A number of honsss on
Market, afreet yesterday, were bustling with bust
ness. The large Cotton Tarn and'.Willow-Ware
establishment of Mr.,; A; Hi Franciscus, No: 433
Market street, and No. s North Fifth, street
presenteu more the appearance .of an Immense bee.
hive than a storehouse. Salesmen were busy in
all the departments—and a host of them .there are,
this being the largest Yankee Notion and Wooden-
Ware house in the TlDited States—and the amount
of goods shipped fcy them yesterday, to all parts of
the loyal, States must have been enormous. We
have already referred somewhat in detail to the
great stock ol&red by Mr. Franciscus, and would
simply add here, for the benefit of . purchasers, that
for everything in the way of Cotton Yarns, Bat
tingß, Garpst Chains, Wadding, and that entire
line of goodc.; also, in Wooden and Willow Ware,
including the finest and most complete assortment
of Fancy Baskets in the world, clocks, looking
glasses, brooms, el cetera, merchants will consult
their own interests by examining thissplendki stock.
The popular Patent Clothes Wringer, of which Mr.
F. has the control in this State, is also having an
immense sale, and it is really an-invaluable instru
ment, at once cheap, efficient, easily worked, and
durable.
“S. PitTßißrs Fourth.
Lecture of the popular course now in progress under
the auspices of the Lutheran Board of Publication,
will be delivered at Musical Fund Hall this (.Thurs
day) evening, by the Rev. G. F. Krotel, pastor of

three -champion, readers, respectively, belonging to
the classes of Mr. J. B. Brown,of New York, and
Mr. Philip Lawrence, of Philadelphia, is. to come
oft* at the Academy of Music, on Tuesday evening
next, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, the major part of the proceeds to be
'devoted for the benefit of the siek'arid- wounded sol
diers. The judges appointed to decide upon the
merits of the parties, are Messrs, ex-Gravernor Pol
lock, Prof. Maguire, and Rev. Dr.NePin. The pro
gramme of poems to be recited is judicious for the
test proposed. The interest excited by this novel
entertainment, no less than the worthy object for
which it is given, will no doubt fill the Academy to
overflowing. The Bale of tickets commenced yester
day at Gould’s, Seventh and Ohestnutstreets; Ame

the rooms of the association, Chestnut, above
