SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1864, THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR, TREMENDOUS CROWD OP PEOPLE, IMMENSE NUMBERS FROM THE COUNTRY. EVERYBODY DELTGIITEXI Ladies and Gentlemen from Wow York, Sew Jersey, and Delaware, Express their Admi ration of the Fair! The delightful weather of yosterday offered every inducement to outdoor exercise, and as there was no' topic of conversation besides tho Sanitary Fair, peo pio generally turned thoir attention to tiio gront in stitution, ami flocked there in immense numbers. In tho mighty throng there wore numbers from ; Now York, New Jersey, and tho State of Delaware,: all of whom were highly delighted with the-varie ty of displays. Union avenue was crowded all day and evening. Many hundreds of visitors standing at one end enjoyed the sublime view: in perspective of tho mammoth arcade, a woH-fillod hall, contain ing all that wealth, beauty, and power could dis-, play. Towards evening we hoard hinny U person complain of being tired, and yet they had not seen ■all. ■ ■■ ’ It slum id be; remomborod that a person, to go through tlio Fair entirely, must expect to walk nearly two miles; and then a second trip might be made, when things that had not been seen before would attract attention. As an exemplification of some of the above remarks, wo relate an instance or two that eamo directly under our notice yesterday: “ Sir,” said a young gentleman, with a lady upon his arm, “ can you tell rap where the department for children is located !” “ Indeed, sir, I cannot; but I think if you .go up that way, then turn down this way, and then go a little to the right, then walk straight ahead for two. hundred ygrds; then ask somebody else, perhaps you can find out.” This very lucid explanation was of course entirely satisfactory. The young gentleman and lady shaped their course accordingly. \ " “Dear nib,” said an elderly lady, “I’d like 'to see the Fine-Art Gallery, for I am a lover of arts. 'Can you tell me, sir, where it Is 1” : , “ Yes, madam;yon arein Arms aid Trophies, now; you go out! that door, then move along that way, then pass up the east wing, and you will find it.” : "Thank you, sir," replied the'.indyyanclawayslio started; but getting into! the’wrong avenue, she found herself, Tor.tho first time, at the entrance to the,groat temple of hortibultnro. Getting a poop at that splendid arrangement, the old lady bifurcated a quarter, obtained a ticket, walked in, and was soon lost in admiration'of nature and art combined. Scenes such were, of course, numerous. A. diagram of the interior, to be had at the doors of entrance fora small price, might afford a pleasant pastime for the little hoys who are active In render ing assistance to the mamnioth and humane insti tution/, Trom this subject we tuni'to another that may coine.vcry.apprpprihtoly under the head of . rsurur. as well as ornamentau, . for it seomed'yesterday that the pretty young lady (attendants- at the tables mustered sufficient courage ‘to askithe visitors to.purchaso something. On the first and-Booondrdays the young ladies weroretieont, Jfijjmany of the 'dear creatures had nevor been in ! such positions before ; but the novelty has worn off, and non'-they are ready for business. This Is emi nently right, for it is hard indeed to resist an appli cation.to buy some one or more mementoes of : the great Fair; and thus the coffers of the institution . become more and more filled. As wo have, said before, the articles are sold at a fair price; there is no extortion; everything is conducted ontho ground of principle, consistent with the holy object of the greet-organization. The ladies have it in their power to add thousands upon thousands of dollars tot ho' treasury,-by making themselves useful as well as ornamental. 'With these few remarks wo proceed to notice the splendid donation made by R.VII.EY & bo! This consists of a magnificent military vase, of solid silver, three feet four inches in height, and worth $5,000/ It stands in a glass case, a'short dis tance from the-main flag-staff, on Union avonuo. It is a tripod : military vase, resting on a verd antique base, made of marble obtained in the State of Vermont. On the base are three ooneare panels, representing the arms of the United 'States, the arms of Pennsylvania, and, In bmso~relimio, the Ame rican'eagle strangling a serpent. Under the eano . py, in the centre of the base, is the figure oil Libor tv., Tho pillars which support the.eanppy are three in number;-based upon threo miiitary groupings, -representing the arms ana' troptUS'bf' the ancient, middle, and present.ages of the world. These pillars are surmounted by/three winged figures, representing the goddesses Fame, History, and Peace! On this beautifuny-embellished tripod, rests’the. vase, which is elaborately enriched by running vine and clusters of grape.. As a. work of art it cannot be excelled. This was tho munificent donation of Messrs; Bailey & Co., who conveyed it with a brief note, of which the following is a copy : John Welsh, Esq., Chairman of Executive Committee Great Central Pair ■ Philadeuvuia, .Tune 8,1564. Sut: With this, wo send Ibr your acceptance and disposal a silver vase, being our donation to the Sa nitary Commission, of which you are the acknow ledged-representative. The value of this gift is five thousand dollars, which amount we desire to see realized, with as much more in addition as the libe rality of our citizens miiy desire. - Respectfully yours, &c., ... BAir.r.r & Go. The vase was formally handed over to tho sub committee of which Mr. Haseltine is chairman, and this gentleman superintends Its disposal, the opera tion of which is as follows: Anyperson may nominate, by paying cash down the sum of 520, any distinguished person, associa tion, or institution: the persons so nominated to be voted for at the rate’of $l.. per vote. . .TJp to the time of making this report, the following nomina tions were made, in the following order 'KomsAtiosa. ! 1 .

Thenamo of the favorite whom anybody rnay.dcsiro to vote for.is written by tie voter on -a. slip of paper, then on . velopcd and dropped into the bos. The ballots will not bo counted until tho closing of the Fair, so that tho result will not ho made known until that time. It should be borne in mind that "tho nomination will ho kept open, therefore any person may nomi nate any favorite of the civil, political, or religious. world they may select. We miiy further state that any person who votes to the number of twenty-five tickets will bo entitled to n large-size photograph of the vase, worth $5, \ Small edpies of tho vase will he sold at 25 cents each. Mr, Haseltino has also an impression of tho coat of-arms of George Washington, from tho original plato, once owned, handled, and used by that great man. Mr. H. has had. a largo number of the cards stricken off, and yesterday they were selling liko “ hot cokes,” at.tile rate of four for one dollar. The: revenue derived from these sale 3 will be placed Into the treasury of the- importation table, situated on Union avenue, on tbo north side, nonr Ouh splendid vase donated by Messrs. Uailoy Sc Co. The coat-of arnss represents a shield, with scroll work, embel lished with foliage, tho whole surmounted by a crown and bird. On tho bottom is a scroll contain ing tho following: “ Exitus acta Probat," beneath which is another scroll containing, in written letters, CiKOIKii: Washixoto.v. This Impression of the eoat-of-afms of tho Father of his Country is rendered! the more valuable be cause it comes from the original plato, and not sim ply a copy. As .tho demand will increase to. an in definite extent, Mr. Haseltlnc has mado all nooosr sary arrangements to moot it. i.rrnooß.vi'mc ruiuTixQ.

The University of the City of New York, which some two years ago equally honored Itself and ac knowledged the eminent merit of a very able writer and sound scholar, by conferring tho degree of Mas ter of Arts upon Edwdrd I. Sears, Esq;, editor and proprietor of the National Quarterly Review, has still further carried out its purpose by presenting him with the degree of Doctor of Haws. He-isoneof the best educated and best.read men we ever have met. He graduated in Trinity College, Dublin,>nd, with single purpose, marked ability, and great success, has established and conducted, for a period now ox-. cceding five years, the National Quarterly Review, which has a high reputation not only for its scholar ship and impartiality, but for the persistency and power of its attacks on Quackery of all soTts—whe ther in literature, medicine, or commercial institu tions. Dr. Scars is certainly one of the most hard working men ofletters in this country. A “very pretty quarrel,.as it.stands,” is now pro ceeding between the London Aihenceim and Mr. Maxwell, publisher of Miss Braddon’s and, we understand, her husband also. Mr. Muxweil announced “ Henry. Dunbar, the Story of an« Out cast,” with the x>re!iminary flourish; that it would simultaneously appear in English, French, and German, and informed the patient public that it, ‘‘the first edition of this new novel by the author of ‘Lady Audlcy’s Secret,* had been completely ex hausted on the first day of-publication," and- that “ the public inquiry for early copies has had no parallel among recent works of fiction.” The AfAfi naum severely censured this barefaced puffery; said “ people arc growing suspicious of-books which begin—as far as they can see—with a second edi tion 5” took the story to pieces, and pronounced it, with truth, to be “the poorest of all Miss Braddqn's works, the most careless in composition, the most unlikeiy'ln construction,” gave examples of this carelessness and improbability, and finally wound up thus: “But’what becomes of the forger, mur derer, thief, on whom Missßraddon asks her readers to expend sympathy, at every turn of his iniquitous career 1 Docs he pay the penalty of his crimes t- Byno means. He baffles the police, escapes the lynx-eyed detectives, retires with his daughter, the music teacher, to Kylmington, in the county of Hants, where he lives, ‘quite the gentleman,; at-; tending church twice every. Sunday as regular as the day comes round, and being quite a picture of respectability, with his venerable, pious-looking gray hair.* This respectable villain dic3 penitent, in the same county in which ho perpetrated his most heinous crime. His daughter, the music* mistress, records, of him: { Ho thought of his old master, as he knew him first, and Ms heart was softened towards the dead man’s memory, and from that time his penitence began. He was sorry, for what he had done.’ He was sorry for what he had done! There’s a moral for you!” To this crUieism, severe but not unjust, Miss Braddon’s publisher objected, saying that it was “unfriendly.”/ The Atheiucum missed, making one great point. ; It might, have sold, (had it, known, as we know on this side, of the world,) that “ Henry Dunbar” now issued as & nm novel, is nothing-of the sort. It ,was one of the very earliest tales published by Miss Braddon, and was then neglected by the public. It was republished in this country, in more than one newspaper, and, a. few months ago, was issued in book form by Dick fie. Fitzgerald, of New York, who have republished, the greater portion of Bliss Braddon’s early and almost unknown writings. Apropos of new novels, we take leave to recom mend two lately published in Messrs. Harper’s ad mirable, we might say, unequalled “library of So- • lect Novels.” The firEt, by Miss Amelia B. Ed-, wards, author of several previous books which have not yet been reproduced here, is. “ Barbara’s His tory,” and, albeitthe main incident which separates man and wife has a :dash of Improbability; in it, the story is so well developed that the book has an irre sistible charm. That old, odd Mrs. Sandyshaft, with her hundred pigs, Is one of the truest and most natural characters in modern fiction. The other tale, much briefer, and with a sort of fragmentary • air, is “Cousin Phillis/* which first a ppearfid-iii ihagfos'irMJ and is attxibxtWi - to Miss Thackeray./; It'ia -written wittolegance and expression, and 1?> decided improvement upon tho touching “Story of Elizabeth,” by the same au-, thqr. , , .-.c .: A new novel by Mrs. Southworth, entitled “The Bridal Eve,” which the Petersons win publish to morrow, is certainly the very best; story that able lady has produced. The scene, is in England,: on thseopening of the present century, arid Mrs. South worth, ns usual, blunders as to persons, things, and places there, but she has constructed a very inge nious plot, containing several striking situations, and the tale is well worth reading. - ' ; ■ It is announced that the edition of;“ Our Mutual Friend” is 4fi,000 copies. The illustrations, by : Marcus Stone, two of which are given- in tho July number of Harper's Magazine, are mnch superior to the rather grotesque etchings by “ Phiz,” in many of tho previous works of “l!»z.” In tho United States Service Magazine tar Juno (tho best number, yet published, and the Completion of tho first volume,) is a brief but sufficient biogra phy of General Grant, written by Prof. Copprie, -apropos, of an admirable likeness of the gallant chief, ODgravcd on stoel by J.

Richardson, New York, has also been published a larger portrait (tho size is ton inches by twelve), engraved by Mr. O’Neill, and if the term “a speaking likeness” bo applicable to any portrait, it is to. this.; The price is purposely put;■to suit all classes—plain proofs, $2; India proofs, and ar tist’s proofs before letters, *lO.

London, Chicago, and Mr. Henry Sartain, Sarisom street, is agent for its sale,hero. Another .portrait, engraved by .1. Scrz, from a painting by W. K.

George B. McClellan, late commander of-the American armios, was a near relative of tho late Field Marshal, one of the greatest soldiers Scotland ever produced, and probably one of the heirs to the estate of tho sister. Miss Marion Maeliver. sistsr of John Mnelivor, Lord Clyde’s, father, married Mr. — McClellan, a Highlander of the Island-Cof Islay, and their son was Gcnorai BlcGlellan’sfa ther. So the General’s father was own cousin-to Lord Clyde. ■ ■. I get these facts from Peter Maclirer, of Bristol, proprietor and editor of tho Bristol Daily Press, cno of the heirs of the next of kin of the late Field. Ma rshal and his sister, and administrator of tho latter’s estate;- - I have just learned, as an indisputable fact, that Jeff Davis, early in the war, wrote to. Lord Clyde, and offerca.blm a command in the rebel armies, and Invited Mm most urgently to come and assist In the rebellion. His Lordship declined, but he was never theless a warm sympathizer with the rebellion, and;, had he lived, intended to go over to America merely as a spectator, and witness the events that trans pired. But he is buried, with all his hopes, fears, and expectations, and General George B.

The monster, gun, whose basting at the Wiarrl Ordnance Works we described some weeks since, was on Saturday last subjected to so'severo a test as tocause Its almost total destruction. Though of bat 15 Inches calibre, the gun, from its peculiar pattern, was probably, the bulkiest piece of ordnaneo ever made, in this country, being 13 feet in length, over six feet in exterior diameter, and weighing over. 45.000 pounds. The charge was far greater than' any before attempted, consisting of SO pounds of .quick-burning powder, and an elevated, shot of 900 pounds .weight;, the cartridge was 15 inches in diameter by 15H in length, the ball a solid double shot 15 inches by 24. This is more than three times the service charge. The gun was fired about dusk, and caused an ex plosion by which many in this city, at . the distance of two miles, were much'alarmed. When the clouds of smoke and gravel had subsldod, It was found that the gun had, been blown to fragments, one piece of about 16,000 pounds weight being hurled a distance, of about 200 feet. In view of the immense- charge, Mr. Wiardtook every precaution to' keep the by standers at a safo distance,. and to his caution we may attribute that no one was at all injured, though the flying fragments passed In alarming proximity to many of the. spectators. Whether the rupture was caused by a,defective easting, or-was due mere ly to the heavy charge, we aro unable to state.— Trenton Monitor. A Fatal Halt.—The following sad story we find In an account, of some of the firing along Grnnt'S-mes—mr—j Times: “A. chance shot to-day also worked some', mischief in the 2d Khode Island, Regiment. The term of the regiment was expired, and it was going from the front, bound for home. Having got, as was supposed, well out of range, the order was given to halt, and a moment after came the rushing ball, bringing its deathmessage to two poor follows who, after faithful service,.having escaped, all the dan gers of the fight, were full of joyful anticipations at the speedy prospeet of being home again. Their fate was doubly shocking.” M3JAICIAI A2iD COMMERCIAL. Gold was firm yesterday* opening, at IDS, selling afterwards down to 197%, and closing at 4 P, M. at 195%. There is evidently a very strong movement to -runup the price to 2CO. Bets have been freely made .Within the past few weeks that the premium would reach that figure, and the excitement is as great as that often witnessed among the-betters on a political earn-; paign.: Little .thought is given as to the evil effect Which this reckless gambling may produce, and it is entered into with great zest and warmth. To prove that the . gold premium is in great part . ficti tious, it is necessary only to say that the. general -stock market does . not partake of, the same - up ward movement. . The same natural causes which send ; up the price of, gold affect also the price of all other marketable commodities, and it .is .fair to presume that inasmuch M stocks generally show no material appreciation, as compared with gold, there mnst he unnatural, or speculative causes which affect the one and not the other.
