This wm a serious blow to tba coaoh- building interest! of the mother country, and the death of that trade in America. Evan tha oommudarain-ohiaf of the lata rebellions army, after he had been inau gurated President, wm forced to content himself with a Moond-hand ooaoh, once imported and owned by Gov.

The ooaoh hM been daaoribed M being very large and heavy, ‘adding muoh to its stately gran* deur'O) as it ran through tbs narrow streets of tha Quaker Oity, with its pre- oiona burden, drawn by four oream-oolor- ed horses, thesvehiole itself being of the same shade, set off with gilded moldings . and carving*. Its strongest attrsetioua were ths relief ornaments on the side- panel, painted by Cipriani, an Italian painter of oeiebrity visiting this oonntry, representing in medallions playing ou- pida or naked obildren. The panels may be seen.among other relioa in the Patent Office at Washington, oertifled as gennina by Georgs W. P. Custis, and presented by John Vanden. “Watson, in hia ‘Annals of Philadel phia,' tells ns that he aaw the original ooaob-body in 1804 -5 in a store yard at New Orleans, where it lay an outcast in tba weather, the result of a speculation of a oertain Dr. Young, who bad hought it in a publio sale, took it out to New Or leans, and oould find none to buy it where ■11 were content with plsiD volantea. It is naively suggested that a far better ■peoulatioc would have been to have taken it to the Msrqnis of Lanedowne, or other admirers of WMhington in Eugland. “A foot-note to a second edition of the ‘Annals’ (1850) informs us ‘that this old ooaoh body became in time a kind of ont- house, in which fowls roosted; and in the great battle of New Orleans (1815) it stood betweu the oombatanta, and wss greatly ahot-riddan (riddled).

This ooaoh was built in 1790, by David Clark, of Fhilidelphia, to the order of Samuel Powell, of Quaker City. It coat $800, a large priee in that early day. After the death of Mr. Powell it beoame the property of his widow, who retained it until she died, when, it passed into the hands of her. nephew.
