4111111- (Apts. Or em au different edit will Itriumph. The • Rer. • c‘hands of men' who ~,,,, were qx i .0 into the embrace of e' traitors and . ambitious 'adventurers. The 'people havdshown, by a verdict unexampled in the history of nations for its unanimity and grandeur, that they would not cOnside.r the war they'had made so many sacrifices to conduct a war of failures and crimes. This question , was propounded to the people bythe Democrats at Chicago, and they have answered it, They say to their brethren in the "Be of good comfort, we are with you still ;" while to those who have taken up arms against the nation they have shown a determination to carry on the war unjustly forced upon them until the submis , sicin or extermination of the Southern traitors. The American people have thus proved true, to their history, and those who imagined that;the defeat of ABRAHAM LIN- corer was the necessary result of the vio lence and agitation of the Copperheads, as well as the natural impulse of a people tired of, war, will find in the result we print this morning a triumphant and magnificent an , a ewer.. This is war for liberty, and the American nation has determined to prose . cute it to the end. Our returns are brief, sharp, and de ; aSiVe. Not one State, as far as heard from,' has cast its electoral vote for GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN. Many of the States which were claimed triumphantly for him have given their adhesion to LINcoLN. We knew little of the Western States, but from the indications of Indiana and Ohio, wa may safely say that the Western Corn MORWBII,IthS have thrown a solid vote for the Union. Delaware, which has all . along.been paraded as a model Demo cratic State, has voted against the De - mocratic candidate. New York has re pudiated the infamous SRI - noun, and New England is a unit in behalf of freedom and - the candidates' of freedom. We are half willing to concede Kentucky and New Jer sey to MCCLELLAN, for the purpose of hiving his party a nominal representation in the electoral college ; but in New jersey everything looks well, and in the absence of a'll news frOra Kentucky we may do our intrepid and loyal friends in that State the justice to -believe that their efforts have not been in vain. - It would be a poetic triumph—se poetic, indeed, that we are afraid to accept the very evidences that crowd upon us—if the loyal States of this Union were to cast a solid vote in behalf of Mr. LINCOLN. We should not b.p surprised if the returns of to-day exhibited such result. In our own State we have shown that Pennsyl vania, however laggard when minor mat ters are at stake, when the question is one attending the • advancement of mere men, is always true to freedom and loyalty. Philadelphia reaches the grand majority ten thousand on the home vote, and from every part of the State; e hear' evidences of-the strength, and courage, and enter prise of the Union party. In .the midst of this great triumph we have only one word to say. We have re- fully eetablished the pu'rp . ose of the North to sustain and strengthen the hands of the Administration in 4he prosecution' of• the war. This we have done with as much earnestness and calmness as we could show. We cannot forget, however, that the campaign which ended yesterday was the most vindictive and bitter ever known in our history. This may have arisen from the desperation of our opponents, but of that let nothing now be said. 'lt is our pare to-day, as victors, to harmonize our triumph. We are the dominant party in the North, and we must make our victory. the means of restoring and strengthening public sentiment. We are one people. We live under one flag. Our happineis and the happiness of our children depend upon the stability of this Government: We have therefore no other • duty remaining but to continue in the path weihave - Chosen, and, following out this war to the end, endeavor to unite all men in its support. The victory of to-day teaches us loyalty, forbearance, harmony; and union. Let us accept it in this spirit, and. with that wish we congratulate the friends of free dom in the universal world upon the result of the Eighth of November, and unite with every loyal mail in asking God to bless ABRAHAM Lucconzi, once again Our Clio- son Chief Magistrate War Clouds in Europe. It is reported from Europe that the at peror NAPOLEON has given strict orders for the withdrawal of every available soldier from Mexico and Algiers at the first possi ble moment, in order " that the army of. France may be quite free in the Spring." It may be asked what probable occupati9n could that army then expect? The fact is, a Convention has been entered into by NAPOLEON and the King of Italy, by. which, two years after the latter officially makes. Florence his capital, the French army of occupation will be withdrawn from Rome ; by which, toO, the Pope, as a temporal Prince, would ,be allowed to re tain that portion of the States Of the Church formerly geld: by the Papacy, retaining, • also, a small but sufficient array of his Own, and haying part of his national debt as: slimed .by VICTOR EMMANUEL. • It is admitted that the King of Italy re linqiiih-es the design, if ncit the desire, of making Rome his capital. The Eternal City will be left to the Pope. But it is ex iiected, that, as early as possible, VICTOR EMMANUEL will . strike a blow to round off his .kingdom by restoring Venetia to it, _ and it -is thought not improbable that ila s i'inakini may assist him in this, if neces. sary. That Would give Walk to the gallant soldiers of France. All that is yet' known of the new Franco-Italiait Convention is the summary of-its leading provisions communicated in a recent despatch from M. DROIMTDELBUY - S, foreign minister of France, to M. .I).E BAR 3wEs. There is no appearance of threat in whit is proposed, but the Convention is looked upon,, in Vienna, as a second edi tion of ' NAYOLEon's famous and fatal words addressed to. Baron HUBNER, at the Tuileries reception of the Ist of January, 1859. As soon , as -news of the Convention reached Vienna, orders-were despatched to hasten the armaments of Verona, Man tua, Legnano,and Peschiera.. The whole frontier of Venetia has been placed in a state of defence, or, as the Austrians say, on a war footing. New and extensive for tifications are already being constructed on the left bank of the Po. On the 'other band, says the authority we take these, particulars from, " the Italians are re doubling their activity, and the War Office of Turin is busy from nine o'clock in the morning till night. The hammer of the arsenal here does not rest even during the • night, and the same occurs in those of Pia cenza, Bologna, 'Alessandria, and Casale. In consequire.qf 'the transfer of the capi- o lorence, orders have been given to iAye the, fortifications of Bologna greatly ncreased and strengthened. New forts a ill be raised on the left side:of the River Reno, for the erection of which 20,000,000 francs are required. The large railway station itself will be turned 'into a strong fort, and a new one will be built at San Fe lice gate. There is a swarming of work men from all, parts of the kingdom is the doCkyards of Naples, Genoa, and Castella mare, Which, show that the Italian navy is not idle, but preparing itself to assert by deeds its superiority over the'meagre and timid Austrian fleet anchored at Pola. The Italians, in short think that, if they are, compelled to renounce Rome - ,at least for the present, Venice--tIP noble, the self denying, the martyr Venice—will be united to the Italian kingdom not later than next spring." In short, it is considered as on the cards that there will be a second war in Italy, before many,montlis of 1865 have passed. Palmerston and ParNments, Asor's fable of the , Dog and the Shadow should be remembered by politician& The substance is often. lost while the endeavor is being made to grasp the shadow. SoMe of our journalists, dissatisfied with the want of sympathy shown by slavery-abolition England to our anti-slavery :North, hav,e sometimes expressed, if not a conviction, at least a strong hope that this country would gain by a change of ministry in Eng laud. They are mistaken. The 'policy of Lord PALMERSTON is now assured and•po sitive, and the policy of his probable suc cessors, only to be guessed at by their-par liamentary 'and. other public speeches, might be practically hostile to us and prac tically favorable to the South. If the Earl of Derby were Prime Minister of England who can doubt that he Would hasten to re-' cognize the rebellious ,South, for which, in Parliament, he has repeatedly expressed his sympathy and adriairation ? We may complain that British neutrality has not been rigidly enforeed—if it were, blockade running would.be inippssibli---but, though lukewarm, the Palmerston Ministry is not hostile, as their successors might be ' and whoever would desire to substitute King Stork for King Log, assuredly thoughtful men will not join him, We are'getting on pretty comfortably with , the British Go vezmnent, at present—all things consi dered—and it may be prudent to leave well I , alone. The Palmerston programme for 1865 has been set forth, in a semi-official manner, in some of the London' papers, and, if, it be carried- out, nothing can reasonably pre vent the <Palmerston Ministry from remain ing at least another year in office. The on dit is that Parliament will assemble; at the usual - time, in the last week of January or the first week in February, 1865 ; that no measure of public importance, except the reduction of thirty per cent. of the army, will lie proposed ; that the Budget* will be hurried through, with some notable reduc tions of taxation, to please the .masses; that Parliament will be dissolved early in May .; that there will be a General Election. in June, befeFe the harvest ; and that the new Parliament will assemble, in the fol lowing November, for a short session i before Christmas. It is not actually imperative on Lord PALMERSTON to call a new Parliament in 1865. The Septennial Act limits the constitutional existence of an English p parliament to seven years. If not 'dis solved by Royal authority before, it natu rally becomes defunct on the day it has attained the age of seven years. The pre-. sent Parliament, elected under the auspices of the Derby-Disraeli Ministry, commenced its actual existence on June 7, 1859, when Queen VICTORIA opened it, in person, by reading to the assembled Lords and s Co mmons, the document entitled "The Speech from the Throne," which really is a mani festo from the Ministry. The present Par liament, therefore, may not only legally have another (its seventh) Session in 1865, but may even have an eighth Session, up to June 6th, in.-the year, 1866--for it does aarav vr~itriancv-a - eirr'llotnilof-co'ver more than the seven years which was fixed by law as the limit .of any Parlia ment's existence. Nothing is more cer tain, therefore, than that two more ses sions of the present Parliament may law fully be held, before it expire by lapse, The present Parliament has not yet ex isted five years and a half— a shorter dura tion than that called together, by the Mel bourne Ministry, in Auguat, 1841, and dissolved under the Russell Ministry, in November, 1847. The history of Parlia mentary duration -is -not aiithout interest, particularly in contrast.with our own 'defi nite and more sensible plan of Congres sional election at fixed periods. lip,to the Revolution of 1688, and a few years later, a Parliament once elected con tinued to sit during the whole reign of the Sovereign, unless dissolved by him. In the time. of, CHARLES 11. what has been called " The Long Parliament" sat for, eighteen years. In 1694, in the sixth year of the reign of. WILLIAM and MARY, a law was passed, called "The Triennial Act," . by which every Parliament, unless earlier dissolved.by the Crown, came to a natural end in three years. Soon after the-acces sion of GEORGE 1., while the country was .yet agitated by the recent rebellion of 1715, the Septennial Act was passed, extending the duration of Parliament' to seven years, unless earlier brought. to its close by being dissolved by the . Sovereign's authority. Repeatedly, since that time, efforts have been made to shorten the duration of Par liaments—either - to one, three, or five years. Lord CHATILA•tt, in 1771, declared himself a convert to triennial Parliaments, but the adherents of radical reform, up to, the present time, have invariably demanded that a General Election shall take place once a year. No doubt, the power now held by - the Sovereign (actually by his Ministry), to retain a Parliament for seven years, might be liable to much abuse—provided that a majority of the members were time-serving and corrupt. But it would reduire more money and patronage that an English Mi- nistry can dispense to purchase a working majority in a legislative chamber. of 658 members. Moreover, the duration of Par liament averages not much more than half the seven years. For example, let us go back, for only thirty-four years, to the time when WIL LIAM IY, bedime King. His first Parlia,- ment assembled in November, 1830. That same month, the Wellington Ministry went out and Earl awry and friends went into office. The first Reform Bill having been defeated in April, 1.831, Parliament was dissolved and a new Election took place. There was another new Parliament con- . vened, in Deeember,lB32, after the passing Of the Reform Rill. Two years after that, when PEEL first became Prime Minister, he resorted to a general Election, to give 'film strength in the House of Commons, and there were new Parliaments subse- quently called under, the following circum- stances : In 183'7, after the accession Of Queen VICTORIA ; in 1841, on PEEL'S be- coming head of the Government ; in 1847, When his. successor, RUSSELL, wanted sup: riori in the Commons ; in 1852, when Lord DERBY became Premier ; in 1857, when Lord PALMERSTON was beaten in the tom- mons, Mr. COBDEN'S vote censuring him for plunging into the war with China having been carried, : in a House of 514 memberS, by a majority of 16 ; and, tagain by Lord Ditiny in 1859, when his Reform Bill was rejected by a majority of nineteen. The Parliament he then called is that which still exists. Here, between 1880 and 1864, with the power on the part of the Crown to have the House of Commons sit, after each general election, for the 'full legal term of seven years (except inocase of the Sovereign's death, when a new Parliament must be summoned within a short time thereafter), nine sepaiate Parliaments have been elect ed—which gives very little more than an average of three yeare,to each Parliament. It thus appears that things are not always as Dad as they seem. snglish parliaments • may endure for Bevervyears, but practically their existence' extends to little more than three. It may be assumed, as fact, that PAL mpßsTon's majority-in the present House of Commons is sufficient -to keep, him in office, Which is the cherished desire of his heart ; that he legally need not summon a new Parliament before June, 1.866 ; that he Will not do so but at the moment best suited to advance his 'own purposes ;. and that, while he continues at the head ofthe Brt. tish Government" the degree of neutrajity now exercised towards the belligerents ,on this continent may reasonably be,expected to continue. An Experiment in 7,6gislation. Greece is a small, straggling, pauperized kingdom, ,hopelessly in debt and, in a con stant state of domestic squabbling. It pos sesses a legislature, a cross between the American Congress and the British Parlia ment. This legislature has consisted of King, Senators and Deputies—the constitu tional _fiction being thaL the first was con- trolled by the other two "estates of :the realm," but the serious fact being that his Majesty—a lad in his nineteenth yeir—is very nearly absolute, his will being the law, and unchecked by ministers, senators, or deputies. The legislative body is paid, the Senators, chosen for life by the King, each receiving ninety dollars per month as salary, and the Deputies, elected for, three years, being paid forty-five dollars a month. Small as this dole is, publiciits are anxious to obtain it The pay, by, the way, is re ceivable only while the legislature session. The high-minded Senators, re solved to make the most of their chances and position, manoeuvred to prolong the session, in order to pocket a greater amount of salary. This was done so, flagrantly that the Deputies resolved to put it down, abolished the Senate altogether, and re solved to have only a single legislative chamber. This is experimental—a trial of what one House can do. The King of the Efellenei, with good sense - beyond his years, has remained neutral through' this revolution, and accepts its result. A libe ral English journal, which notices it, says: "Possibly`we may now see what a single House can do when responsibility is thrown upon it It can hardly be doulited that had England but one House its members would act with an increase of caution which might far more than compensate for any good the Lords can do, while it would relieve the nation from the heaviest incubus milts poli tical progress. Indeed, all the Lards of any capacity would be found in the single House ; we should lose, only the old Con servative' rubbish which is 'swept up by the leaders from the country Whenever 'the CommonS threaten any vested abuse." - We suspect that the ,French could relinquish their expensive and useless Senate still more readily than the English could part with their old-fa.shioned -Upper House, whose chief business, for years past, has been to obstruct'reform, retrenchment, and progress. Lieutenaut COlonel Hail. It is with the sincerest sorrow that we record the death of TiioNAs'N. HALL, late lieutenant colonel commanding the 121st Pennsylvania Volunteers, who died in this I. city on Sunday morning last, in the thirtieth year of his age. Lieut. Col. HALL , was the eldest son of the Rev. Dr. Joux HALL, of Trenton, New Jersey, and gradua ted at Princeton College. Soon after he graduated he - commenced the study of the law in Philadelphia, in the office of his uncle; the .Hon. WILLIAM M. MENEDITII, and was admitted to the Bar in October, 1856. At the breaking out of the present war, in 1861, he actively identified himself with the well-known artillery company of COL CHAPMAN BiIiDLE, and, in August, 1862, when the 121st Regiment was raised for three years' service, although not at all in robust health, he determined to give himself to the service of his country in the field, and accompanied i the regiment as its adju tant. His regiment was in hard service from the time it first went out from Phila. At Fiedericksbur! • it formed a• througliflirieberlines. At that battle the regiment lost severely. Adjutant HALL behaved with conspicuous bravery. His horse was shot Ander him. At the subse quent battles of Chancellorsvilla and Get tysburg he displayed soldierly qualities of a high order. In the steady, never-ending routine of official business, with its innu merable vexations, he was ever untiring in • his faithfulness. Never absent from his, post, he was foremost in every fight, and foremost in every good work that tended to improve his regiment. For more than a year after his health was seriously impaired he persisted in going through the severest labors and exposure without a murmur. Though not in the regular line of pro motion, 6 djutaatllALL was, in the spring ' of 1864, at the request of his brother offi cers, appointed major of the regiment, and was subsequently made lieutenant colonel. Soon after this his health, which had been for a long time failing, gave way entirely, and he was obliged to resign the service, in order to prolong for a few short months a life which had already; as it were, been freely given to his country. Pennsylvania has never mourned a truer soldier, or one of more unselfish purity of life. He knew not self ; his constant thought was for the comfort of others. With the highest order of courage he combined a gentleness of disposition almost feminine. Respect was too cold a word to express the feeling of his regiment for him, who asked none to • follow where he dare not lead. Of the many excellencies of his .priva•te life we cannot trust ourselves to speak. -Alas ! that such a • precious life—one abounding in every social and domestic viriue—could not , have been spared for further years of use . fulness.

The demand was replied to by the first lieutenant, "Under the oircumstances, I surrender !" A. haw tier was now made fast, the cable sliiiped, and the Florida towed to sea. In the melee, several pistol shots were fired, and accidentally two guns from the Wacbuaett. Captain Morrie and half tho Florida's crew were ashore on liberty. No lives were lost..

FACTION AND TEEA.BON MUST DIE, Secretary Seward went to his home at Auburn, N. Y., on Saturday last, in order to be present and east his vote at the Presidential election. On Mon day evening he addressed a large assemblage of the people of Auburn on the issues of the day. We make the annexed extracts from his speech FELLow. CITIZENS : Of oourse you understand that I have come home to vote. [Cheers, and cries of, "That's what we want now !"] To vote here for the tenth time in ten out of the nineteen Presidential elections which the people of the United States have enjoyed. [Applause.] A change or succes sion in the Executive power of a ss nation le always vital, and that change in our coelhtry constitutes a perpetually'recurring crisis. The elector la mortal. I have come home to exercise my suffrage as hereto fore, with the conviction, which I suppose you all ens tertain for yourselves, that this may bo my last time. Every country that has existed, especially every free country, has passed through the fiery furnace of civil war. Spanish America, with all its free States, France, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland—indeed, civil war is chronic, and do meal° harmony an abnormal condition in most of those States. No Government in any of those countries ever was less embarrassed in civil war by faction than the Government of the United States during the last three and a half years. None of those Governments at that same time ever dealt with domestic faction with so much moderation and humanity as this Government has practiced toward citizens who have aided and abetted, fed and warm ed, olothed and armed, its open and defiant enemies. Not one head has fallen on the judicial block. Nor need you be alarmed at those demonstrations of fac tion. The people of the United States have bad a Christian - education, a political education, a moral education, such as Providence has never before vouchsafed to any nation; and great as the forces and facilities of faction are, the - repressive and loyal forces possessed by this people are magnified and multiplied in proportion. [Cheers.] There is no question before you of abandoning the war measures against slavery and substituting for them a policy of conservation or concession to slavery. Those measures are a ,part of the war. [Cheers.] 'lt is for the nation in a state of war, and • not for the nation in a future state of peace, that the Government is noting, and of course that we are voting. There is no question before you of chang ing the object of the war from the maintenaransof the Union to that of abolishing slavery. Slavery is the mainspring of the rebellion. The Government necessarily strikes it in the very centre as well as upon every inch of Its soil. In my poor judgment the mainspring is already broken, and let the war end when it will, and as it may, the fear that that mainspring will recover its 'elasticity may give us at present no uneasiness: Before. the war slavery had the patronage and countenance of the United State!! against the whole world. Its inherent error, guilt, and danger are now as fully revealed Co the -people of the United Stateisas they have heretofore been to theoutside world. Before the calamitous war in which slavery has plunged the country shall end, it will he even more hateful to the American people than it already's to the rest of mankind, while their condemnation of it will remain unchanged. Persons ask me on every hand, " Is the war to last forever?" "How long is the war to last 1" I an swer, the war will not last forever, but it must oon- Ulnae until.we, give .up the conflict or the enemy give up the conflict. Are you prepared to give up the conflicts [Cries.of "No, never!"].You say, "No, never." Why 1 Because in that ease you give up the national - life. In any and every event the nation must live. If you were to give up the national life you enter in the state of national death. What that state is, God be thanked we do not certainly know. He has mercifully withhold that terrible knowledge from our keenest search and speculation. But we do know that national death usually consists of several stages. The first is do- • mestic civil war—not a civil war across a bor der, such as this war is, but a real civil war—a civil war brought home to our own cities, to our own altars, to our own firesides. We know by the experience of other countries that with occasional respites, resulting from exhaustion, this aggravated form of civil war continues until a military despot is welcomed to arrest the effusion of blood, to restore tranquillity and quiet, with' the less of .civil, and, if need be, religious liberty. [Cheers.] This is the terrible condition into which you rush to escape from present civil war. Every one of the supporters of the Administration knows this as well as I do, and sees it as clearly. In view of - calamities, so far transcending those we are slow suffering, of course the Government will not abandon the conflict until the majority of the people decide that it shall be abandoned. On the other hand the enemy will abandon their rebellion just so, soon as they shall have the undoubted assurance that It .cannot prevail. [Cheers.] They will do SO lOr two swops ; Firet, no faction aan indefinitely, continue. a struggle that .111. hi: 0 1)& 1 r°. Secondly, because they give up •no national life, but they, as well as • we save their own na tional existence by their defeat and overthrow, and a better national existence than in their mad dest hours of 'delusion they have ever conceived as the result of their unlawful enterprise. [Cheers.] Suppose, then, that the people, as we all agree they will, support the Administration by their suffrage to-morrow. The rebels then have the assurance of the American people, made upon a fall rehearsing, of the merits of the controversy, upon appeal and a full examination of results thus far obtained, with the relative forces• of the parties yet remaining in reserve, that the conflict is not'to be abandoned on our part.' [Tremendous cheers.] - The messengers who come hither from the rebel regions will be dif - invent from those who are now lingering and loiter ing on the Canada shores, lo aid the execution of the plot conceived against you at Chicago. [Cheers.] The messengers who come will come not as those last mentioned, with commissions - addressed to the pusillanimous and factious minority of the. North, but they will come addressed to Abraham Lin coln, the honored father of the American nation. [Great applause, and three cheers for " Old Abe."] Their message will Lot be conceived in the insolent words, Your war for the Union has failed: desist from arms, and give us. through mega tiation, separate independence." But it will be "Father Abraham, we have sinned before God and against our brethren. We -repent our error; we disavow and offer .up the traitors who have led us into crime. Extend your protection over us, and give us once more peace and communion with you at our altars and our firesides." [Prolonged and vehement cheers.] This is the way in which I think the war Is to end. I know that in that way It will end Boon. I am not going to surrender to the re bels. No l though they extend the desolation or civil war over the whole land-thOugh they 'come backed in their unholy quarrel by one or —manv....forelan—Statee.....Lam nob gelog s joeur s _ no cessation of- hostilities, no' negotiation , with." rebels in arms. [Cheers.] However it may be with others, "I looked before I leaped." If rcould have been ready to surrender now, I should have pro posed surrender at the beginning. I should have acceptedterms.without waiting for Ball Run—cer tainly after Bull Run. I would have availed my self of the first gleam of victory to secure terms as little humiliating as possible. I should have nego tiated alter the capture of New Orleans, after hlur freesboro, alter Norfolk, after Antietam, after Vicksburg, after Gettysburg—l would have gone, under the pressure of national afilictioni and made r every defeat a claim to rebel sympathy and cle mency. After the first Ball Run battle, after the second Bull Run battle, after Gaines' DIIII, after Fredericksburg, after Chancellorie s-111e, after the defeat of Banks on the Red river—l am not-' going to surrender, now nor never As for the arts of statesmanship, I know of none applicable in this case. The only art of states manship that I do know is to be faithful to God and to my country. [Applause.] . I seek to cultivate charity and prevent war, civil or foreign, as long as consistent with national justice, and honor, and safety, it can be prevented ; but when in war, to fight with courage, constancy, and resolution, and thus to save my country, or fall with its defenders.- [Tremendous cheers.] The battle thus waged in this case cannot fail. Even if it could fail, the field which was lost would for ever be a holy sepulchre, which would send up through all coming rime in spiration, to reanimate and cheer on the friends of progress, of liberty, or humanity. [Applause.] Gitribalai's Yacht. COWES, ISLE Or WIGHT, MONDAY. The yacht purchased for General Garibaldi is I now lying off West Cowes, quite ready for sailing, and only waiting a more favorable wind to start on her voyage to 'Caprera. An Inspection of this little vessel has given great satisfaotion to all who have• been sufficiently Interested in the matter to pay her a visit. She Is a schooner of 60 tons burden, and is truly elegant in . shape and fittings. Painted black, with a gold moulding round the hull, a beautiful female figure-head in white and gold, and with - her newly.seraped spars and snowy sails, the first impression is a most pleasing one; nor does a closer Inspection destroy the charm. In every particular, and throughout the. Whole vessel, elegance and comfort reign supreme, The ladies' state cabin, which will be for the gene raPs own use, Is a perfect boudoir the panels of the ceiling and walls being filled In with exquisite fres co,paintings of all that is beautiful on land and sea —flowers, corals, shells, and figures, The furniture and fittings are of solid mahogany, and sliver and green damask; that of the dining saloon crimson damask. There Is a small library, every description little craft is well laden with gifts of every description. The table linen is very fine and choice In design. She makes up ten berths, six of which are polished mahogany with spring mattresses, a cooking stove, a kind of pantry or . larder, and every ar ran gelnent to insure the comfort of the gene. rat and his friends. She is expected to make the voyage in about - a month, will touch at no port until she reaches Maddalena, and is en trusted to the care of Captain Campbell, a man of tried probity and experience. The deputation going overland will proceed in her from Aleddalena to Caprera, where she will be duly presented to the illustrious man whose friends have -thus sought to express their appreciation of his character and their e mpathy with his tastes, for doubtless a yacht will be the most acceptable gift that could be chosen. The ladies of Birmingham have sent a silver-tea service for the yacht. Mappin, Webb. & Co., of Cornhill, contribute a handsome silver plate dinner and dessert set knives, forks, &o. Alderman Cope land, M. P., gives a dinner service. In fact, the yacht is loaded.—Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 28. - . Tax Liverpool Mercury gives the following int& resting sketch of a new play called after the great actor,David Garrick, now being acted at the Prince of Wales Theatre In that city : Mr. E. A. Sothern, who acquired such celebrity in the role of 'Lor'd Dundreary, is now appearing nightly at this theatre as David Garrick in the play bearing. that title. As many of our readers are aware, the piece was brought out in the first instanoe at the Haymarket some months since, and has been produced with great success in the provinces. The pu incidentnformed that " this play is founded on ansaid to have Occurred to Garrick, but which has no pretension to biographical accuracy." The following is a sketch of the plot: David Garrick has become famous as an- actor, when Ada Ingot, the 'daughter of Mr. Ingot, 9.„ rich merchant and an alderman of the city of London, is in the habit of visiting ' the' theatre. She is not only delighted with 1 acting, but she falls despe rately in love with him. Ile,too, has 'observed the Interest she manifests in his performances, and be n-Ines deeply enamoured of her, though 'her name and position in society are unknown to him. Her , constant attendance at the theatre has aroused the suspicions of Miss Ingot's father, and he at len g th discovers, discovers, to his annoyance, that has given her heart to "a play actor," a profession he holds in contempt. Moreover, he has set his mind upon his daughter marrying her cousin,Dick Chevy, a horse racing, foxhuntibg squire, who can talk of little else but horses and dogs. In this extremity ho sends for Garrick to his house, questions him as to the income ho derives from the pursuit of his pro. fession, and offers to double that income if he will leave the stage and quit England. Garrick laughs at the proposition, and at last the merchant ex plains the real state of the matter, at the same time giving him to understand 'ver plainly that the marriage of his daughter with "a play.actor" is not even to be thought of. The tone in which the old gentleman speaks of his profession excites Gar riok,a indignation, and he haughtily intimates that he, the despised actor, would marry no man's daugh ter till the father came to him, bat in hand, and told H him he was welcome to her.' However having little Idea of what be engages to do, he offers to "cure her " of her attachment to himself, and at his own request he is invited to dinner at Ingot's house the same evening, it having been previosl arranged that he is to manage th ma t te r in his own way.. On arriving at the 'house and being down into the drawing.room, he discovers, to his dismay, that Miss Ingot is the lady who seemed to regard him so Intently at the theatre, and who has become the object of his adoration. But he has given his word of honor, which be cannot break, so, martyr.itice, he coin• mences the task he has undertaken to perform. Though suffering the greatest anguish, lie feigns .drunkenliess, !mufti the guests at the dinner table, drives them from the room in a state of indignation, and then staggers into the drawing= room.. Here he rolls about amongst the ladles, swears, sits down to play at cards, enacts the part of a bully, and conducts himself in a manner so .horrilybig and disgusting to Miss Ingot that she orders him to' quit the house. Actuated by' the stdden revulsion of feeling created by Garrick's behavior, she consents to marry her cousin, ' Soon afterwards this worthy drops in on his way bone front "his club, half drunk, and relates in lain Ingot's 'Knouts how Garriok had presented himself at the club in a melancholy mood, and there told a party of friends of the deception he had prac ticed. Chevy also informs Ada that Garrick hat become Involved in a quarrel on her account, and must consequently tight a duel the next day. Her. passion for the great actor revives, and, leaving her father's house, she proceeds to the lodgings of her lover with the purpose of preventing the duel if possible: Her father traces her thither, and Is con cealed in Garrick's study during an interview be tween the lovers. Garrick tells Ada of the deep affection iffentertatus for her, but impresses upon her the duty she owes to her father, and implores her to be obedient to his wishes. The old gentleman overhears what passes between the , young people,• alters. bis opinion respecting gi play actors," and makes them happy by consenting to their union. THE CITY. FOR ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS- SEE FOURTH PAGE.] STREET SCENES LAST ETENING. It being evident at an early hour that the aggre gate vote would show an increase for•• the Union ticket over the number of votes polled on the second Tuesday in October, the victorious delegations of a number of wards paraded with Music, lanterns, and transparencies. The first ovation of the victors that came under our observation was that'of the First ward, announcing the majority for the Union ticket at 955, being !vetoer gain of 118 votes over that polled for Sheriff in October. On they marched in triumph. While passing the Keystone Club quar. tern &demonstration was made from the sidewalk. It was a alight skirmish—t l short, sharp, and deal sive." Nobody hurt. At this time a dense mass; probably numbering two thousand, was assembled In front of the Age office awaiting the announcement 01 those heavy majorities for the McClellan opposi tion, the transportation of which was to break down railroad trains or snap magnetic wires. While stand ing like BO many drooping "roosters" in a heavy rain storm, announcement was made that the vote in Mauch Chunk showed an increase of seven. Three cheers were given, and again the party re lapsed into a quiet state, and • looked, and probably felt, as forlorn as the last batch of Moseby's guerillas that passed through our city as prisoners of war. • Presently the scone was enlivened by the ap proach of the Ninth ward delegation, upon whose banner was inscribed "252 majority, in spite of the Gas Works and all colonization:" This party filed to the right on Chestnut street, and counter marched westward to the tune of "Rally round the ling, boys l" • - Then came other wards, rejoicing in their strength and victory. Presently, •the First ward having reached the Union League Headquarters, returned, headed by a wagon. Upon approaching Fifth street the mar shal, to avoid a collision with the crowd in front of the Age office, turned down Fifth street. Then the crowd,of the Opposition galvanized them selves into spasmodic life by loudly groaning. The delegation stopped, and presently the word rang along the line, "let's go through." They did go through, with torches and banners aid flags flying— then stopped, walked back to Fifth street, and, amid cheers for Lincoln and victory, proceeded down Fifth, street. It : was evident that somebody was going to be hurt; bat the "Cops" gave way, - and all was soon still. The returns now began .to come in from New York. Heavy Democratic majorities pleased the multitude, and the response was decidedly and un equivocally vigorous. The knowing ones wore not at all satisfied- with the announcement. They ex pressed fears of the news via that celebrated strut tare known in political history as the Cayuga bridge. The Union men crowded Chestnut street for a mile in length, cheering and shouting themselves hoarse. Presently the Fourteenth ward delegation came along with a banner, announcing the impor tant fact in snakeology, that "November is entirely too cold for Copperheads." This delegation went through the Opposition crowd without any particu lar molestation the Unionists cheering and the Op position groaning. This, -with the music of the bands, made the time, though rain was now falling fast, very lively and exciting. The Udion majority being so completely overwhelming, the victors could stand anything except the overt act of a phy sical blow. As it does not appears that any were Tiven, there was nothing of the kind to be returned. aking everything into consideration, the grand final result, locally speaking, is certainly entirely satisfactory to the.lovers of the Union, Liberty, and a conquered peace. • THE POLITIOAL HEADQTYLE,TERE. Though the evening was a London evening, fog gy and murky, with a drizzling rain filtering down through the damp, clammy mist, covering pave manta and streets with a slimy mud, large crowds gathered in front:of the various political headquar ters to cheer returns that were favorable to the tri umph of their principles, and to growl and coin plain at those that were not: In front of the Union League, the hundreds who stood patiently waiting for information were roofed all over with a con tinuous undulating reach of umbrellas. The trans parencies covering the front of the headquarters of the Supervisory Committee for recruiting colored troops were lit up, and on a line run diagonally from the roof of ,the building to that of another en the opposite side of the street were suspended illuminated globes, each bearing the inscription : " Victory " Emancipation !" ternating with these globes were various pennants, also inscribed, but to what effect even the glaring light from the many gas-jell in the neighborhood would not assist us to ascertain. Similar globes, differing only in the inscriptions—the names of the States which could safely be claimed for re-Presi dent Lincoln—dangled in the space between the Union League House and Concert Hall. In the Hall of the Supervisory Committee a collation was partaken of by many geetleruen prominent and in terested in the organization of colored regiments, when sufficient returns were received to authorize the belief that the cause of freedom and emancipa tion was assured of success by the popular endorse ment of its champion. The headquarters of the Democratic State Execu tive Committee were totally dark and deserted, and we presume that the headquarters of the Demo cratic State Central Committee would have been, also, had it not been that the rooms of the National Executive committee were directly opposite. 'Here the number of curious persons was great, and all made evident their sentiments by repeated cheers for the President. 7 -Taking all thing's into consideration—the excite ' ment attending the canvass, the bitterness of feel ing engendered in - many cases, the wide difference between the opinions of the opposing elements, and the importance of the issue—the night was passed pleasantly and peacefully. We heard no i taunts, no loud words that would indicate the petty spite and enmity that too often are suffered to en ter into our political canvasses. The defeated submitted good-humoredly—the victors contented themselves with but moderate demonstrations of what was undoubtedly groat joy. The ." happy mean" was carefully followed by every one, with a few exceptions, that - must, in the nature of things, always be n ads. No riots, that suspicions minds - aila - tfitilefinh - rhibilitire;tlte city is as great battle had been fought and won. TRAIN SPEARS. • George Francis Train, whose erratic campaign has already been fully chronicled in these columns, made a speech in Union League Hall to an over. flowing audience. He commenced at eight o'clock, and 'entertained his hearers with a great many witty and eccentric remarks, which were laughed, at or applauded to the echo. Mr. Train afterwards re tired from the hall and proceeded to 'the Con tinental hotel, followed through the rain by an admiring crowd, who, when he reached \ the hotel, demanded another speech. This crowd was much augmented by the throng already con gregated before the hotel, the retarded currents of people that flowed up and down both sides of the street, and a strong detachment of the Republican Inllncibles. - But he had scarcely uttered kis open ing sentences before his remarks were received with a hurricane of hisses. After several ineffectual at tempts to quiet these emphatic demonstrations, there came. a general fight, which resulted in the dispersion of the hissers. ANNIVERSARY OF TITE MERCANTILE RENE FICIAL ASSOCIATION. The twenty-third annual meeting of this excellent association was held yesterday afternoon. C. .T. Hoffman, Esq., was called to the chair, and Wm. A. Relln appointed secrefEry. W. C. Ludwig, Esq., president, submitted the following as the twenty-third annual report of the Board of Managers : The close of another year brings with it the pain ful reflection that the great crisis- of our nation's life is still impending over our once peaceful and happy land—that treason, in its most hideous form, Is still . pertinaciously .exorcising its ft:fillip once to overthrow a government established by our common ancestry, built up and cemented by their blood and treasure, and founded on the broad and liberal principles of right, justice, and humani. ty. But, notwithstanding the elements of peril and destruction which at present surround us,.we are firm in our faith that, under the guidance of a wise and just Providence, our Government will yet emerge triumphant from the terrible ordeal through which it Is passing; that the integrity of the Union will be preserved,the authority of the Constitution restored, andhe honor and supre macy of our glorious 'flag be proudly maintained. The year that is just past, as we all are aware, has been one of stirring events . The, public mind has been excited to its utmost tension. A civil war; such as the world has never known before, has - not only spread desolation and misery over a large por tion of this once united and prosperous land, but bee more or less affected every department-of trade.. With prices fluctuating, exchange unsettled, and gold no longer a currency, no one has been able to compute the results of his labor, or to estimate for a single day the valuerofids property. And yet there never was a ported in ,the history of the world in which so much has been freely given by the people in aid of charity as in the last three - years. The enormous sums raised by the different sanitary com missions in the loyal States, during the past year, are entirely unprecedented. The individual con tributions Tor the enlistment of the army amount to as much all a few years ago would have paid the national debt. The vast amount of stores, of cloth ing, and wealth of every description which has been dedicated by young and old, rich and poor, to the relief and nourishment of the sick and wounded in our military hospitals, can scarcely be estimated. Alongside of such munificent benevolence the small annual subscription to the society 'appears trifling and insignificant. It stands as a unit among thousands—a, glimmering light paling before a gorgeous sun. Yet still the usefulness and im portance of our association should not be under. rated onlhat account. It had its origin in more peaceful times, and we -hope it will live beyond the dangers and calamities which so long have encom passed us. We must also recollect that the benefits It confers are not the eleemosynary offering of a stranger's hand, but a privilege to which all its membership are legally entitled. If it is different in its character from a common insurance, it Is only so because the motive which called it into being is of a less selfish nature than that which is so usually to be found in the germs of an ordinary contract. It is this simple difference which takes it out of the common transactions of profit and loss, and places it beside those noble institutions of the age which love to God and good will to man have reared In almost every townat good and district throughout the land. it has done Is patent to y t allli h familiar with the operations of the ever societony. e It adds, it is true, no increase of wealth to the already accumulated store ; it guarantees success to neither industry nor enterprise, but simply when fortune is bankrupt and industry lies paralyzed, If. Its hand in man's utmost need, and gives him aid and friendly counsel when from the very circumstance of things it is impossible for him to help himself. Trifling as it may appear. to be, it -is of more im portance than, when flushed with success or rich in means, we are apt to estimate. A small sum to the entirely destitute to relieve his immediate wants or to afford him 'an opportunity of . again bat tling for a new estate, wilt often be the Initial point Gilds future fortune ' • and it is this kind of aid and encouragement which this association gene rously offers - to its members, and is of more avail than tenfold the amount under other circumstances or in brighter days. As an evidence of this troth we might safely appeal, were It necessary, to those who have been the subjects of relief; bat this your board cannot do without making known the names of those who have been so unfortunate as to require it—a publicity which delicacy would shrink from, and which the regulations of the society have al ways forbidden. An ostentatious parade efts bene fits is contrary both to its object and its spirit. Your board have, therefore, invariably refrained in their reports from directing attention to those who from necessity have been constrained to avail them selves of a privilege which, however cheerffilly eon. ceded, is generally claimed with reluctance. Since the last annual meeting the unsettled' state of the country has rather created an apprehension for the future than actually produced any. general distress among the commercial classes, and It will ' be seen from the report of the treasurer thatthe de mands for relief have been less than they have been within the same perkal for thirteen years, previous. Surprising as this fact may be, it is a matter of con gratulation that of so large a number of mem bers so few have been placed in the theneecy to require assistance, and is an evidence of pros parity and frugality.of those of our city engaged in. mercantile. pursuits. Indeed, applications for re,. lief have never been to the extent that might fairly have - been - expected, or which would gladly have been afforded. There appears to be a feeling of delicacy or independence—a pride of character among our mercantile community—that shrinks. from any obligation that. cannot be reciprocated. They may fail in business and break down under the weight of adversity, but, i ts a faith which. ap. pears seldom to be shakeu, it is a ran calm that they either apply for Charity or entirely yield . to despair. Az an Illustration Of this, yonr board would' refer to a single case in point.. , A worthy member of the association who had, through misfortune, lost his all, and whose means had been entirely exhausted, with no friend to whom he could resort for aid, made his condition known to the relief committee, and his wants were promptly supplied. Although in good standing as a contributor, It was evidently with great reluctance that he accepted severalltundred dollars from the fund. But it was to him the start. lug point of a new life of promise and of hope, as fu ture events bare demonstrated. With this small capital in band, he broke loose from the bonds which enthralled him, went forth with fresh vigor to battle with the world and its conflicts, and is now again marching In the ranks with those whom enterprise and Industry have crowned with EILICCOht. Actuated by a sense orogratitude, this gentlifman has; within the last few months, not only voluntarily repaid • every dollar he received, but added the interest to the amount for the full time he had it in use. We mention this es an abiding testimony of the honor and generosity of the recipient, and the usefulness of the Mercantile Beneficial Association. The financial condition of the association, as ex hibited by the accompanying statement of the treasurer, presents a very satisfactory state of af fairs. It will be seen that the receipts for the past • fiecal year from annual dues, interest, ground rent, &c., amount to three thousand and sixty-one dollars and nineteen cents, and the total .amount in his hands, including the sums invested by order of the board, is seventeen thousand nine hundred and thirty-four dollars and forty-four cents. If the pecuniary condition of those associated with us has been such, during the past year, as to make it unnecessary to disburse only a portion of the annual income, it must be a source of gratifi cation to feel assured that the accumulation of the fund is increasing the security for the future, when . . the circumstances of oar members may be less for tunate, againskany calamity which may overtake them in the precarious channels of trade. The permanent investments now held by the as sociation consist of First mortgages, well secured Ground rents, do. do. United States 6 -per cent. bonds Cash in bank . T0ta1.... Since' last report forty-eight new members have been added to the list, and nine transferred from annual to life membership; There were. fifteen deaths and seven resignations. There are at this time seven hundred and thirty-two Ilfe, annual, and honorary members. . Death has numbered among its victims, since last we met. some of our most influential and va luable associates. Prominent amongst the number Is John B. Myers, Esq., a warm, constant, and ac tive friend and patron of this association. Ile was one of the original projectors, and the first presi dent of the society. From that time until the day of his death, he ever manifested the deepest inte rest in its welfare by his presence, his influence, and his means. Immersed in the cares and respon sibilities of a very extensive business, yet he was always ready cheerfully to co-operate is any sinter prise whether of a public or private nature, that might promise to conduce to the general good of his fellow-men. During the whole of his career Mr. Myers was eminently distinguished for so much bu siness capacity, honesty of purpose, and industry of application, .that his wealth and his influence seem ed but natural results, and although passed from amongst tits commercial life will ever remain as an illustration of all that was generous and just. The loss of such a man cannot but be rewarded as a public misfortune, and his - long and intimate con nection with this association demands that a pro per token of respect for - his.memory should be of fered. Another of our members who departed this life during the past year is Major General David B. Barney, a gentleman whom we all respected for his private virtues and his eminent abilities. Sacri ficing a lucrative business and the comforts and happiness of home and friends, he determined, when the standard of rebellion was first raised, to devote his whole life and all his energies to the cause of hts beloved country, and the record he has left behind him shows how faithfully he discharged pis sacred duty. From the time he first entered the service he braved every danger and was engaged in most of - the important battles of the war. The proud repu tation which he 'haw justly won by his unflinching bravery, and his skill and efficiency as a cc mmander in the army that is heroically struggling to subdue this unrighteous rebellion, merit from us a tribute to the memory of an honored citizen, a gallant sol dier, and a pure, chivalric, self- sacrificing patriot. This day the term of office of your present board of managers expires, and with this report their cfiicial duties will cease. If their administration has been such as to further the interest of the asso ciation, and has met the approval of its members, they will be fully repaid for, what they have done, and yield up their trust in the full conviction that the more the design and usefulness of the society is understood the more sully will it be cherished and sustained. W. C..Lunwro, President. After the reading of the report, the annual state ment of the treasurer was read, when both were unanimously approved. William IL Bacon, Esq., offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted. without a dissenting voice : Whereas. This nation has now reached a crisis in its history, when the shattered forces of rebellion may either be crilehfd by the triumphant armies of the Re public, and the hopes of sedition, revolution and sec tional ambition be forever destroyed, or, on the other hand, inspired by the display or misplaced sympathy in the loyal ritatee, be induced to persevere in the efforts to humble the National flag; and -whereas, oir 'hopes, our interests and our feelingr as merchants are all identified with the unity and indi visibility of the Republic, under whose auspices oar commerce has become world-wide, our manufactures rival those of Europe in diversity and value, our agri cultural staples are the dependence of millions ab.oad. and our mineral products are unparalleled in richness and quantity . ; therefore Resolved, 'That we are earnestly and unqualifiedly for thevigorous proseention of the war, fey the perpe tufty of the Union, for the nationalizing of all our insti tutions and interests, and opposed to a treacherous Peace, wherein the prestige of the Republic shall-be humb led, humbled, and th'e way paved for an ultimate-renewal of the conflict. .Resolved, That as merchants we ask for no peace which shall not be permanent, end that none can be so which is not honorable to the Republic which has made such immense sacrifices to vindicate its liberties and its rights. - Resolved, That every national interest of the Re nt Wis. 'whether mercantile, industrial, or agrical tn rat, demands that the result of this war shall be a final termination of that internecine strife which has gene rated so many crises in our own history, and so sadly interrupted and interfered with our own peaceful pro gress and development z.and that we enter our solemn protest against anyeffort to patch up a hollow times or a dishonorable peace. • Resolved. That the losses we have suffered in our business, in consequence of this war, admonish us that, it is butte , , at any cost, to have the whole trouble car ried to a final settlement now, than to 'leave any legacy of renewed strife to our posterity, and that while we did not seek this war, and deeply deplored it when it did come, 'we accept Its burtheus. and remain trne to the lessons it has taught us. A short recess having;been taken, the meeting went into a nomination and election for a board of ....mers.forthe.eisaninr `-Board of Managers 1864 s.—William C. Ludwig, Daniel Steinmetz, Aug. B.

The splendid Opera Cloaks made on these ma chines, • and now displayed in Grover & Baker's window, are elaborately embroidered, and are at tracting the universal admiration of the ladles. THE PRIOR OF GERMANTOWN WOOL.--IN our ar ticle yesterday in reference to the Germantown Wool advertised by Mr. John M. Finn, S. E. cor ner of Seventh and Arch streets, we inadvertently stated that the price of the article was frag twelve to twenty cents per pound cheaper than German zephyrs. We should have written "from twelve to twenty cents per ounce cheaper," which would make . it nearly three dollars per pound lower in price than zephyr, a very considerable difference, considering that for almost all uses it is quite as valuable. OUT OE THE WOODS.—The great struggle is over at last, and ai the smoke of the ballotting battle clears away Me result of the fight looms up in greater distinctness.
