Never have affairs assumed so interesting an as pect within the naval station of our city. In the different ship-yards, and along the wharves, all 3a life and ,animation. The, month' of May Seldom fails to produce activity in all. branches of busi ness, but with our'naval and ship-building interests the impetus is unbounded. To one unaccustomed to visit the navy , yard a 'variety of• strange scenes would present themselves. Upon entering the gate at Front street, you will frequently be compelled wait for sometime. to .allow the passage of heavy pieced of lumber, or, not unfrequently, the entrance of large Dahlgren and Parrott guns of eight, ten, and fifteen•inch bore. At times the passage of heavy Shot and shell detains you. Upon., the right•hand side of the avenue is the building in which - are 'contained the offices of the commodore, commander of the yard, lieutenant, paymaster, naval constructor, draughtsman, the various clerks, and the chapel. • On- the other side ,of the avenue are situated the quarters of the marine guard, in front of which 'a Sentinel is constantly patrolling, as is alio the case. at the gate:.Both of these buildings are constructed of brick, the first being three, and the latter two, stories in height Down the avenue, and, on the left, adjoining the marine quarters, are situate .the store-houses, three stories high. Here a large amount of necessary , articles:are stored. Connect ing with the store-houses is the ordnance store, in which "are contained the shrapnel and grape shot, and other articles too numerous to mention. Adjoining this building is the large one-story apart ment used for storing chains, logs, etc. This build ing is large. On the opposite side of the way is, the sail loft, in,whioh is deposited an immense quanity of this useful material. On the same side, as' we deacenNic noticed the joiners' shop, a two-story brick building of , no mean pretension& Nearly opposite is the plumber shop, of about the same dimensions, and a little to the right is the watelphouse. As we descend still farther, we notice the gun-carriage shop, where the largest of. these articles used in the navy are turned out in a finished condition. Numbers of them are con stantly sent to Port Royal for the ships of the squadrons. Again, on the opposite side, we notice an extensive frame building, erected last fa . ll for the storage of lumber. , - By this time we have reached the lage ship -house of the yard, and we enter. It is constructed entirely of frame work, but covered with tin. On the stooks is • the gunboat Kansas, a description or which is ,given below. ' Passing through leisurely, we reach the, main pier of the yard, at which is moored the gunboat Shenan doah, and to the outside the steamer Princess Royal (lately a prize), both nearly, ready for sea. At the upper wharf of the yard the city iee-boat is moored. She was formerly in the employ. of the Government, and rendered some service on the Potomac river at the commencement of. the rebellion. She mounted One heavy gun, ifloving.to the south portion of the yard, we pass the lower ship-house on our right, from which the Tacony was launched about two weeks ago. A scene of confusion is here presented, as is usual in all cases after a launch. Advancing to the stone pier, and 'crossing the dock upon a sort of bridge erected there during the' summer months, we arrive at the lower portion of the yard. Directly opposite the bridge, and about fifty feet from it, are situate the docks, comprising nine sections. Upon them at the present time is the steamer Memphis, repairing. They have but lately been replaced, as the dock was being dug out. Descending to the edge of the lower or long pier, we find moored to the southern portion of it the gunboats Wissahickon and Seneca, the former repairing and the latter still in commission. Advancing to the edge of' the pier, we have full sweep of the river as far north as Oodper's Ppint, and southwardly to a distance of two miles below, Gloucester Point. 'Anchored in the stream are three United States men-of-war and one foreign steamer. . . First, we observe the sailing sloop-of-war Sara toga, Commander George Colvocorenses„ who has advertised for sailors, so difficult are they to be ob tained otherwise. In her wake is the receiving ship Princeton, always alive and teeming with anima tion.` Below her we find the well-known steamer Tuscarora, in a dismantled condition, and farther down the stream, below Reed street, is the Genoese corvette, San Giovanni. After a long and interesting survey we again re trace our steps ; but, instead of returning by the came route, we choose another, by the lower portion of the yard.:• Passing by the interior dock, a large number of ships' boats are seen, ready for delivery, and also the small water sloop Cordoras, to supply the blockading squadrons with .water.--Perambu lating upward. we pass to our right, in the distance, the iron-clad. Tonawanda, building in the open air. Close upon our left is the boat shop and spar shop, and a'little farther on the block shop. In immediate succession we have the spar and blacksmith shops in our. rear, and again enter the main avenue of the yard. Upon the left, as we ascend, we observe in the dis tance, and nearly back of the officebuilding, the drill ground, where the marine guard are manceuvrecl in the morning. Above the drill ground, and resting upon Front street, are the private residences, owned by the Government, and inhabited by Government officials. In our ascent we find several things to in terest us. The large"gun wirh the little ones around it, on the left, and the bowsprit of the Guerriere, captured by the Constitution, meet the eye. Other guns, of more or less size, attract the attention. There are about twenty.two hunded workmen em ployed in the navy yard. The majority of these com prise carpenters, laborers, ship-joiners, plumbers, and blacksmiths. Each department is kept very busy at this time. The hours of labor are from seven A. X. to six P. M., with one hour's intermission at noon. This is changed during the winter months, and the men are allowed to retire at sundown: • There are eight mortars lying in the yard, which have been there about six or eight months. These, together with the large number of heavy guns, and the lb-inch shell lying loosely around, present to the eye of the visitor a warlike appearance. When the mortars were first ordered to the yard, it was rumor ed that a mortar fleet would be titled out, and de - "patched to Admiral Porter. But this was merely, a rumor. They will' probably lie in idleness for a rear or so, and then will be used by the Govern ment. The - Board of Examining Engineers for the navy is-still in session at.the navy yard. Since they have been convened in Philadelphia they have recom mended five promotions to chief engineers, forty four to second assistant engineers, and seventy-nine for admission as third assistant engineers. The Board consists of the following gentlemen: Chief Engineers Thomas Williamson, George Gideon, and Charles Baker. Thefe is a great scarcity of sailors at the present time to man the different vessels of our navy, the demand never being so great. The shipping masters have, therefore, been almost unable to per form their duties, owing to this cause: Ad a rule, the navy is much preferred by the old " Jack Tars" to the.common merchant service. We will now , attempt a description of each vessel owned by the Government. The first to which we would draw attention is the receiving ship Prince ton. Receiving Ship Princeion.—This old sailing frigate has been used as a receiving ship at the Philadelphia navy yard for several years, and was formerly con sidered a crack vessel in our little navy. She now lies in the river, where she was hauled from the lower dock of the yard at the opening of spring. During the past two weeks she has been repaired and painted the regulation color of the navy, which gives her an excellent appearance in the stream. The Princeton is now commanded by Lieutenant "George R. Gray, detached from the Ohio. He was ordered to the command last week. A large num ber of sailors, destined for vessels fitting and repair ing for sea, is constantly on board and ready for im mediate service. At times the number exceeds five and six hundred men. She is about 990 tons bur `.:den, and when In service carried twenty-four me dium-sized guns as her battery. . Saratoga.—The Saratoga is a sailing, sloop-of-war, of the old class, and resembles the Princeton in con struction, She has been at - this port about six Months. When last upon duty she formed part of the squadron on the west coast of Africa, and did ex cellent service under good officers. After discharg ing the duties there she was ordered by the Navy Department to this port for repairs. She arrived here in the month of December, when she went out of commission and her crew diecharged. Repairs were 'soon after commenced upon her, and she is now in a properteondltion for active service. ' She lies in the. stream awaiting orders for her departure, Which will not be,received for six weeke. Com mander George M. Colvocoresses was appointed to her command in the middle of last month. This • gentleman by birth is_ fi" native of Greece, but has been in the service about twenty years—a large por tion of that time being spent upon the sea. As the 'vessel has not gone into commission, none of the unior officers have been appointed. Her next sta tion will be either in the Mediterranean or . African squadrons. The Saratoga carries nineteen guns and has a burden of 682 tons. Tusearorw—This vessel, which has gained such notoriety by her acts in connection with the priva teer Sumpter, is also in the stream in a dismantled • Condition. She reached our port on the 13th of last Month, when she went out or commission, her crew discharged,' and her officers detached. Her repairs will be extensive, as she has been in service in fo - reign waters nearly eighteen months. She is a beau tiful vessel, and one of the fastest in the navy, .and Was well adapted to the, service in which she was engaged... All our readers are familiar with her ex tloits in blockadin the privateer Sumpter for so ong a time in a European harbor, and the final escape of that vessel. She has been constantlykept before the eyes of the public for over a year. The Tuscarora carries a battery of eighteen guns—some of them of the heaviest calibre. She will not again go into service before the expiration of two months. Princess Royal.—The Princess Royal is an iron - Screw:sloop of eight hundred tons, and was captured, by our blockading squadron off Charleston harbor, at the time of the raid of the rebel iron-clads upon our fleet. She was immediately ordered to Phila • delphia, and brought the first authentic news of the encounter between the iron-clad rams and our Wooden blockading vessels. She was immediately taken in charge by the United States Marshal, and her cargo prepared for sale, which was very valu able, consisting of drugs, medicines, chemicals, etc'. The vessel was purchased by the Government, and for the past two months has been under the hands of the workmen. She is now , nearly ready for service, but has not yet gone into commission, and will carry about ten guns, mostly brass howitzers. The Prin cess Royal is also very fast and can easily steam fourteen knots an hour, and on several occasions has done even better. Her destination will probably be the Gulf Blockading Squadron, where she will be of immenee 'value in preventing blockade runners from entering or departing via the sounds and inlets along the, gulf shores. Her commander is a gentle man who haabeen service. Memphis.—The fine iron steamer Memphis is on the ;motional dock, , at the yard, where the repairs to her cutwater are being finished. This vessel arrived at the navy yard about the fifteenth of. April last, badly damaged on the bow, having comein contact With the iron-clad Keokuk as she was towing her Up the harbor of Charleston. Her injuries were so serious as to compel her immediate removal to a Northern port for repairs. She will soon be in a fit condition for service. Wissahickon,--The Wissahickon is a gunboat of Small dimensions, but has seen nearly as much ser vice as any other vessel in the navy, during the pre sent rebellion. During one of the engagements in the Mississippi, in the spring of 1862, she received forty shots in her hull and rigging. Her hull was completely riddled, the masts in a tottering condi tion, and the smoke-stack pierced through , and through. Although her' injuries were so serious at that time, she managed to reach the navy yard, Where her repairs were completed in a satisfactory - Manner, and, she again went to sea. She was placed - upon the Atlantic Blockading Squadron, in the of Port Llinyal. Some' few weeks since her Mo a r hnery ebde c t a o m h i o s u p t o o r f o fo rd r e r r e paanidrs s hSe h w e a caries ' nine guns of considerable calibre, and left a few days ago for Fortress Monroe. Tawny,—The Tacony is , a side-wheel, double ' bowed steamer of excellent construction. Her bur den is 974 tons, and when in service will carry nine • rani._ She was launched on the 7th of the present Month, from the lower ship-house of the yard, very .oe,eferfu• lly. She is one of the twenty-seven double dereordered for the navy and is the sixteenth of Class afloat. The Tacony has been pronounced , orapetent judges to be the best vessel of her 'ru n ning from any navy yard in the country. 'running plank of the bottom is three and a half Oleo in thickness. The engine -frame is in its pro rpOsition to receive the engine, which is in a for ward state of completion. The dimensions of the vessel are, length, between perpendiculars, 240 feet; breadth of' beam, 35 feet 2 inches ; depth of hold, 12 feet. .Tbe battery of the Tacony is as follows: Two 100-pound rifled Parrott guns,(on .pivot), four nine- Inch Dahigrens, and , four .24-pound howitzers, a making total of twelve guns. She is now recelv, big her machinery at the works of Messrs. Morris, in Kensington. Shenandorth.-411b1 gunboat is the finest vessel at our station. She has a length of 240 feet and a bur- I den of 1,318 tons. She will carry twenty-three guns. Her launch took place in January from the main ship-house, and was attended with success. She now lies at the main pier of the yard nearly completed. Her masts, spars, and rigging are in place, but the sails have notbeen . attached. Her engine is a pow- , erful one, and capable. of -forcing the vessel through the water at a high rate 01-speed., The Shenandoah.. bas not yet gone into commission, and her officers have not been appointed. . Tonawanda.—The iron-clad Tonawanda is on the stocks in the yard, constructing, and a large force of workmen is engaged upon her. The Tonawanda will carry four guns, with a burden of 1,564 tons. Her dimensions are, length, between perpendiculars, 260 feet, extreme brea'dth oi beam 50 feet, and depth of hold 12 feet. The ribs of the vessel are all 4 ia position and : the planking more than two-thirds completed. In addition to five inches of iron plating, she will have a thickness of planking that will be' almost impervious to shot and shell. Her two tur rets will be very strong and carry two of the heavi est guns; each. All the late improvements are to be added both to hull and turrets. Below deck the space-is-roomythe, and cOmfortable. The Tonawanda is being built exactly on the plan of Bricason's - bat teries, with the exception of having two turrets. She will not be completed for three months to come. ometer. . - . Kansas.-This vessel Was commenced in the upper ship.house of the yard about two weeks ago, and already rapid strides have been made towards its completion. About two-thirds of the ribs have been erected, and but a limited time will find them all is position. Her dimensions are as follows : Length between perpendiculars 180 feet; - extreme breadth of beam 20. feet, and depth of hold 12 feet 2 inches. Her burden .is 693 tons. She can be ready for launching in two months, if the same celerity continues which has-been manifested within the past two weeks. She will Carry hut five guns. Wya/using.This vessel is built on the same atyle as the Tammy, and was launched on last Tuesday week from the ship-yard of W. Cramp & Sons, Ken sington. The dimensions of the Wyalusing are: length between perpendiculars, 240 feet ; breadth of -beam, 36 feet 2 inches ; depth of hold, 12 feet. The draught is five feet four inches, and she will be used for Southern sounds and rivers. Sha is the seven teenth of her class which has been launched. Her armament will be the same as the,Tacony , e, pre viously given. After being launched she was floated to the works of Piney, Jones, & Co., Wilmington, Del., for the purpose of receiving her machinery. After this has been accomplished, she will come up to the navy yard, where she will be fitted out and placed in commission ready for service. Pontiac.—This steamer was launched on Saturday afternoon; from the yard of Birely, Hillman, & Co., Beach street, Kensington. She is destined to carry nine large guns, of nine and eleven-inch calibre. She has been well built, and was constructed upon the same plan as the • Wyalusing. Her dimensions are : length between perpendiculars, 240 feet; breadth of beam,'3s feet ; depth of hold, 12 feet. mThe 'a chinery has not been placed in this vessel yet, but it will be done at once. The steamer will be used for the same purposes as her predecessors. The engines are being constructed by the firm of Nape & Levy, of Kensington. Birmuda.—For two months past this vessel has been undergoing repairs at the -navy yard, and on last Wednesday she departed from the yard, tho roughly, tted up and repaired as a transport. She was captured by the blockading squadron last spring, and sent to this port. Her cargo netted a fine income from its, mile. The Bermuda will be -used in con junction with the transport Massachusetts, plying between -this port and the blockading squadrons, carrying the mails and provisions. .She, is an iron steamer, and capable of making sixteenknots an, hour. She will, return to our port in about two weeks, and, after a fresh instalment, will depart again on her mission. •. In her route she will stop off Wilmington and Port-Royal, thence to Key West .and the'Eastem and Western Gulf squadrons, miler as the Rio Grande. Her burthen is 1,000 tons. - Ticonderoga.—This vessel came to our port on last Saturday afternoon, after a trial trip of one week. She started from New York on Wednesday week, and sailed for - Fortress Monroe,which she reached in thirty and a half hours. She then received orders from the Navy Department to leave at once for Philadelphia, which she did on Friday afternoon. This was an acceptable move, as at least one-half of the Officers are from this city. Her principal officer is Lieutenant Commander Bushroth.B. Taylor, both a' superior officer and a gentleman. . The Ticonderoga is a vessel built on the same plan as the .Shenandoah at our yard, both being mag nificent vessels. Her burden i 51,378 tons, and the dimensions are : length, 240 feet ; breadth of beam, 35 feet; and she draws from thirteen to fifteen feet of. water when in service. Fourteen heavy guns constitute -her battery, consisting of nine and' elevdminch Dahlgrens and 200-pound rifled Par rotts. Her crew numbers 240 picked men. It is not known how long she will remain at our navy yard. but it is not probable that her stay will be lengthy. No repairs whatever are needed, and it appears strange that a vessel of her class should have been ordered to Philadelphia apparently with out cause. Seneca.—This gunboat came to the port of Phila delphia last Monday night, for repairs to her, ma chinery. She has been connected with the South Atlantic blockading squadron since October, 1861, and has rendered valuable aid. She left Port Royal on the 13th ult., for Philadelphia, and is commanded by Lieutenant Commander William Gibson. She carries five guns, as follows : one 11-inch Dahlgren ,• one 20-pound rifled Parrott.; one 12-pound rifled howitzer, and two 24-pound howitzers. The officers and crew number about one hundred men. She has not yet gone out of commission. Yanlic.—Another gunboat will be commenced in the lower ship-house of the navy yard under this title. She will be a small side-wheel steamer, in tended'for Southern river navigation. The stocks will be prepared to receive her in about tliree weeks. mother Double Bom.—Another double-bowed side wheel steamer is being constructed in Bordentown • for the Government. It will be launched about the latter part of next month. She will have a heavy battery of 11-inch Dahlgrens,. and rifled Parrotts. The aides,- above the water, will be iron-clad. ' The dimensions are—length between perpendiculars, 240 feet; breadth of beam, 30 feet 2 inches; depth of hold, 12 feet. • . • Galena:—This iron-clad steamer has been in the service a little over a year, but has not proven altc. gether successful. She has lately been in the vici-' nity of Fortress Monroe, guarding thatlocality from. another rebel raid. She has not been in any engage.. ment since her attack upon Fort Darling, in connec-• tion with the little " Monitor " and Naugatuck. - At that time a eopsiderable amount of damage was ex , ' perienced from theenemre shot, aiithey penetrated the iron-plating at almost every discharge. Several of her crew were killed and wounded.< She arrived' at this port on. Thursday afternoon,' and' comes for extensive repairing. Her coat of mail will be taken off, and the vessel will be thoroughly inspected, and if found expedient, will be repaired in the strongest possible manner. 'Her battery consists of six guns - of medium size and weight.; The: necessary work will be commenced at once, and the Galena will be floated upon the sectional docks within seweek. - Her construction was effected at Mystic. She is in charge of Lieutenant Commanding L. Paulding. The naval authorities have contracted with -Mer rick & Sons, of this city, and Heaney &Archbold, , of • Chester, for one iron-clad steamer of light., draught, each. These vessels will have but one . turret, which' will contain two guns, the plane of which were got ten up.by Captain Ericsson. The price of each ves sel ranges from $380,000 and upward. The shipyards along the river,-front, from South wark to Kensington, present almost as lively-an ap pearance as the navy yard. Everything in and around them looks gay. . At the yard of Mr. John Lynn, at Reed street, a barge of 300 tons is partly completed. It is owned by Captain J. Kirby. A pilot boat of 80 tons burden is rapidly advancing towards completion. It is in tended for the Delaware bay pilots. Three tug boats, of different dimensions;' are constructing. A cutter for the Treasury Department, of 350 tons burden, is nearly ready for service. Two barges, one of 325 and the other 350.t0ns burden, are:under the hands of the workmen. The former is owned by the Messrs. Flanagan, and will be launched on Saturday afternoon; the latter is owned by the Messrs.- Fuller, Devinney, &. Co. The keel of a• large steamship, of 1,100 tons, has just been laid. She will be used for service between New York, Havana, and New Orleans. At Simpson &Neill's yard, at the foot of Christian street, a new tug-boat,-called the Stephen Decatur, is on the marine railway for coppering. She was re cently built for, the ,Messrs. Flanagan, but has since gone into the service of the Government. 'The large and powerful steamer New York is on the sectional docks at this yard. She was used by the Govern ment as a transport and a flag -of-truce boat, and conveyed prisoners of war to and from Richmond, the rebel capital. The work at this plebe continues steady. At Neafie & Levy's yard, in Kensington, a num ber of vessels are in different stages of completion. The tog boat Stag is being fitted up. Her machinery is also being placed in her. She was launched some three weeks since. The steamship launched last Saturday - , 'from Lynn's yard, is being completed here. Her burden is 900 tons, and she is owned by the Messrs. Hanagan. The tug-boat Blarygokl has been ordered into the Government. service for tow ing. She is nearly completed., - Besides these, a number of vessels are being completed for different firms. This firm is noted all over the Union for the durability and excellence of nll its workmanship. At the yara of Birely & Hillman, Beach street, Kensington a number of smaller:sized vessels are in different stages of completion. :-A barge, the El lie Knight, of 500 tons, was launched from this yard on Tuesday afternoon. The Government steamer Pontiac was launched on Saturday afternoon. Vaughn & Fisher are also busily engaged in. the; construction of vessels. Cramp & Sons have seve ral vessels under the hands of the workmen. This firm, during the past year, has done much' work for the Government. The iron-clad steamier New Iron sides was launched from this yard. There is considerable activity in the coasting trade. One day this week no less than thivlteive vessels arrived at this port, and about twentf cleared from it. A great difficulty is felt in obtaining Bailors for the merchant service.. A large number of those who ship are not sailors, and trouble of a serious nature often ensues from this fact.:: Never, We repeat, have "the navel and shipping - interests-presented so favor able an appearance. TnE CIERISTIAIc Commrssiox —The first • annual report of the Christian, Commission has just been published, and covers over one hundred pages. It details the operations of the committee in the va •rious military departments and shows to what great extent so !excellent an auxiliary can promote the welfare and efficithicy of an army. The'commission expresses itself in great debt to the Philadelphia Association, who furnished fifty delegates, one of whom, Rev. Mr. Ladd, fell a martyr to the work. Of these, others besides the lamented Ladd were brought to the borders of the grave by the abundance of their labors, and the terrible ordeal of exposure, privation, and excitement through= which they sought the salvation of our brave men, body and soul. Yet none ever murmured or complained, and many have gone time and again.. Such a cause only asthis, which combines all that is sacred in the service of God, all :that is touching and thrilling in therelief and benefit of man, and all that is noble and heroic in the salva tion of our nation in - peril, could ever have called pastors from their churches, physicians from their patients, lawyers from their cases, merchants from their customers, and men of all walks from their homes, and home comforts and duties, togo out and sleep on the ground, eat hard tack, drink muddy water, or coffee more muddy, for the pleasure of washing and cleansing muddy, bloody, vermin covered, infected, wounded, fetid men, and 'of preaching to them the blessed Jesus, and cheering them from home. . These fifty delegates have gladdened the soldiers by their presenter and words - and deeds of love, in all the hospitals; and on all the battle-fields of the Pe ninsula of Pope's disastrous campaign, of the Ma ryland invasion, of the Fredericksburg repulse, and of the Murfreesboro victory. In the prosecution of the home work, about two hundred members of the Association have partici pated, several hundreds of meetings have been held with the soldiers, in hospitals and camps, and fifteen hundred Testaments, twenty-live Bibles, thirty thou sand and fifty four hymn and psalm books, nine thou sand seven hundred and eight other books, six hun dred thousand pages of tracts, three thousand five hundred magazines, and thirty-eight thousand seven hundred papers have been distributed. Two features of the borne work in Philndelphia were these: - MILE SUPPLIED. TO THE HOSPITALS.-A supply of, milk not having been furnished by. Government, the association, by request of the surgeons, arranged with reliable milkmen for a daily supply, to be left at the hospitals. "Up to February. 14th, the quanti ty furnished amounted to forty thousand two hun-• dred and twenty quarts, fifteen hundred of which had been generously contributed by the milkmen. The other home work alluded to is the record of Pennsylvania soldiers in hospitals in and around . - At the earnest solicitation - of the Goveinor and Surgeon General Of the State of Pennsylvania, the Young Men's Christian Association have under taken to furnish and keep at the rooms of the asso elation, a complete record of all Pennsylvania sol (hers in the hospitals in and around the city, to visit them weekly, attend to their wants so far as they may be able, communicate with their friends at home if they desire it, and, in fact ; to seek to make their condition as comfortable as possible, and at the -same time to benefit them spiritually by reit- Vous conversation, gifts of tracts and books, and establishing prayer meetings among them. To further this work, they have obtained froni the Governor and Surgeon General commissions for sixtyone persons, giving them the privilege of visiting all the hospitals, and asking the co-opera tion of .the surgeons in charge to aid in the work. This Work is being prosecuted with vigor. T,he com missioners meet and report weekly, and it, secretary has been employed, whose whole time is Occupied in copying the names, and having general oversight of the commissioners. PHILADELPHIA LADIES AND THE WOUND _j ED iN Vinorsna.Mrs. Mary -AL:Brady, :president • of the "Ladies , Association for Soldiers!, Relief'' , of this city, assisted by two members, has been esta- Wished during the past two or three weeks, at the three divisions comprising the 6th army corps hospi-_ tal tents at Potomac creek bridge, Virginia. These ladies, took with them forty-five boxes of aanitary stores thirty-nine boxes of luxuries have since been I received by them at their tents in the field. They pro vided their own tents and several cooking stoves, and they have beenlmay preparing custards, &c., for the three thousand wounded men of the 6th corps. These are the only ladies allowed by the exigencies of-the service to visitthe army of the Potomac, Mrs. Brady being personally recognized by the various depart ments in. Washington and-at-headquarters of the army of the Potomac,- and'the names of the commit= tee of ladies are registered on the official books attached to the ariny., As a general rule, strictly ad hered to, no, ladies whatever, and scarcely any gen tlemen, are now permitted to obtain a pass to Acquia creek or. Falmouth, on auy pretence. The great good , which .Mrs. .Brady and these ladies are doing can easily be imagined ; ••and the three thousand Wounded patriots are delighted to be waited upon by them with such cooked delicacies as ;they may fancy. Two other members of the ladies , associa tion will relieve the three ladies now at Potomac creek, bridge, and one lady from any of the ladies' aid societies, who have facilitated the ladles' asso ciation-with donations of money or stores, who may be desirous to visit the front of the army, to cook niceties for the wounded, can please call at the office of Edward Brady, attorney at law, honorary secre tary,' No. 135 South Fifth street. Contributions of thirty boxes lemons, ten boxes oranges, twenty-five . dozen cans condensed milk, one hundred dozen fresh eggs, one hundred and fifty pounds white pulverized sugar, two hundred jars of jellies and jams, twelve dozen of best sherry wine, are needed immediately, and any other , suitable articles will be gratefully re ceived by Mrs. Brady, who will return home to visit her family fo . i.a few days. TIIR LATE COLONEL Satur day, at noon, one of largest Bar meetings , ever con vened in the city was held, in the Supreme Court room, to take action in relation to the death of Col. J. Richter Jones, commander of the 68th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, who was killed recently near_Newbern, North Carolina.. Judge Cadwalader presided, with Benjamin Ger hard and Peter IVlcCall, Earls., as secretaries. • Judge Cadwalader stated the object of the meet ing, and paid an eloquent tribute to the .memory of the late Judge Jones, both as ajudge and a citizen. Judge Parsons introduced the following resolu tions: , Whereas. We, the members- of the Bar of Philadel phia, lieu e 'heard with - emotions of deep grief of the death of the Hon.

The Ninety Days Law Imposed. Frank Dillon alias Frederick Dunn was arraigned at the Central Station on the charge of picking the pocket of a passenger at• the Kensington depot, at about one o'clock on Saturday morning. Officer Kelly,.'who arrested:him, testified that on hear ing of the robbery he at once proceeded to the depot, and watched the prieoner. -A gentleman, bound for New York. identified him as the man who picked his pocket of a book containing four dollars. About this amount of money was found upon the accused. The officer there fore took bun into custody, but .the train started; the loser being in one of the cars. , The, prisoner was con 'ducted to the station-house, .where he became highly indignant, and said that he was going to New York, for which he bad purchased-a ticket.

He was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he yet remains, in a precarious condition. The assailant escaped for a time. On Saturday morning a man made oath before Alderman Dougherty that, to the best of his knowledge and belief: Robinson inflicted the stab. The warrant was issued, and the suspected individual taken into - custody. On being conducted to the ward in the hospital where the wounded sailor lay, he at once recog -nized the prisoner, and said, " Eels the man who stabbed me."
