Xo\ice to Advertisers,
Advertisements for the Evening Dispatch m«;-t
be handed in by eleven o'clock in Uieforenoon, in
order to appear the same day. The heavy pre.:
sure of advertisements upon the columns of our
paper will not admit of their reception after tin
hour named.

Y'cunflj Christian Assorintltm.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Young Men's Christian Association will
be held on Monday evening next at 8
o'clock, at their rooms.
A New Esculent.
We have received from the garden of
V. LaTaste, a very delicious vegetable,
called Hoosung,” similarin some re
spects to Asparagus. Those who wish
to obtain seed for its cultivation are re
ferred to LaTaste' s Drug Store.
Boots and Shoes.
J. W. Bcrcii also makes mark in our
new advertising columns to-day. We
have so frequently alluded to his stock
and to hi 3 low prices, that we need only
say that we have examined his recent
supplies, and find them “ all right &c.”
Fire ami Marine Insurance.
We need scarcely direst the reader’s
attention to the advertisement of Mr.
Thomas Whyte, Insurance Agent, which
speaks for itself in another part of this
■paper. He has recently returned from
New York, where he made arrange
ments to take Fire and Marine risks in
the largest and most approved compan- •
ies in the country. We believe many of >
our citizens have availed themselves [
of the facilities he has offered them for j
protection against loss, and he is now
prepared with bettor facilities than ever
to give satisfaction.
A Floral Procession.
At four o’clock this evening the chil- i
dren of the Orphan Asylum will pay
their annual visit to the grave of their |
late lamented benefactor, Isaac Tuttle,
to bestrew it with flowers from the j
grounds he loved so puich in life to cul
tivate and beautify. It is always an in
teresting and touchingceremony,and as
the evening premises to be a delightful .
one, it is hoped that our citizens gener
ally will go out to witness it, and thus
evince a becoming appreciation of the
munificence of one who has provided
the fatherless of our city with the
comforts of a homo, and with the salu
tary influences of careful guardianship
and training.
KFlimuml Academy.
The examination of the pupils of this
Institution terminated with a contest
for prizes in declamation yesterday after
noon. The number of contestants was
twenty eight, arranged in divisions ac
cording to their advancement. There
were three prises for the first division,
and one for each of the others.
Kev. J. E. Bteuson, for the Commit
tee of Award, announced the prizes, in
a very appropriate address, as follows :
FIIiST DIVISION.
Ist Prize. F. G. Ford —Washington.
2d “ B.Carter —Spartacusto the
G1 idiators.
3d Prize. D. DeShiel—Whipping in
the Navy.
SECOND DIVISION.
lst-Prize. Ores. Rosiguol —The In
fant Orator.
There were many others who mani
fested an ease and naturalness of r.tyle, |
which evinced promising oratorical pow- I
ers and careful tuition. Among these j
we may mention the elder Kennedy,
Coffin, Phinizy, L. A. Ford, Levy Co- !
iien, Gibson, and Goodrich.
We are gratified to learn thJtt this In
stitution is in a flourishing condition,
which is but a just reward for the indus- j
try and care bestowed upon its manage
ment by its able and experienced teach
ers.
Barbee’s Coquette,
Have you seen the Coquette ? Not the
bold, brazen, superannuated belle, who
figures in the ball room, at the springs,
and public results, but that exquisite
triumph of art, now on exhibition at
Masonic Hall ? If you have not seen
her, you should take advantage of the
first leisure hour, and pay your respects
toiler. She is not exclusive, hut gives
audience to all from 9 a. in. till 10 p. m.
and is always in the most cfiai ruing at
titude, her angelic face ever beaming
with a bewitching smile—a smile which
speaks e /en from the marble with pow
er enough to take prisoner the heart
.of every beholder —and thanks to Ame
rican genius, it is the hrst smile that ev
er wreathed lips of marble.
“ The Coquette ” has been assigned j
the very highest rank among the tri
umphs of modern art. It is a full length
female figure represented at the most
charming period of female life, when
youth and beauty are verging into ri
pened womanhood. She is standing in
an erect attitude, resting mainly on the
right foot The position is of ail others
that might have been selected, the most
successful for displaying the anatomy
of the whole frame. Her drapery which
is simply a flowing stole, twines grace
fully around her hips, and falls at her
feet in a negligent and tasteful majjner.
The shoulders, breast and back are un
covered, and so far as we are capable of
judging, present a perfect model of an
American girl. And the size, contour
|of the face, and general effect of the ! i
j whole, stamps it as peculiarly original, ’
1 thoroughly characteristic, and in all re- J
spets a triumph of American genius.— 1 ;
'j In one hand she holds a heart, repre- 1
, senting some young victim to her j
, charms, while in the other is poised a ,
dart, which she seems half-willing to (
throw, and half anxious to withhold.— (
And there is a volume in the varying *
expression which plays upon her features t
I from different points of observation, as <
she stands intently gazing on the heart 1
which she seems to feel is captive with- .
! in the charmed circle of her influence. j<
l From one side—her right—there is a h
1 mingled tenderness, sympathy and lies- 1 (
itation in her expression ; but from her! i
left, stooping to observe her beneath! 1
, the up lifted arm, there is an air of mis-! J
chievous, coquettish triumph, as if the j i
relenting purpose were dispelled, and ! 1
i the joy of conquest already complete. jj
And this view seems exquisitely design-!,
ed to unfold ail the leading indica-ji
tions of character,combined in the work;; 1
for it is just then the bundle of arrows !,
- in herquiver, the first of which is pois- j;
: ed in her hand, seem designed to strike p
l the eye, and from them we turn to sur- j
• vey the rose and thorn at her feet—the j i
t painful symbols of her first lessons in 1
1 Cupids’ school of archery.
But we have not time to present the 1
impressions derived even from an hour’s j f
survey of this charming work. Pro-! |
missfng to revert again to its manifold ■ 1
' excellencies, and to give our readers an [l
i outline of the rise and progress of its ■ i
! gifted architect, we commend it to the j i
attention of our readers.
jl
! From the JY. Y. Journal of Commerce. \ i
! A Photograph of llie United Stales |1
Senate
! As this honorable is at present !
| the theatre of special interest, we pi'o-j<
l pose a condensed sketch of it. Inexo- ! ;
! ruble rules, that have grown more strin- h
gent every year, exclude almost every ,
' | one from the chamber except Senators f
I and Representatives. Hence the galle- L
vies, at all times small and full, arcjl
[now overflowing. Even “worn outjt
Kansas’ ’ is not quite worn out there. - | j
jln the days of Clay, Calhoun, and Web-! i
Vtcr, when all occupiable space, without f
• j the chamber, was deluged with tbeliv | t
| ing tide, as they were about to deliver a ,
j set speech, there were gallant Senators <
1 iwho would get a vote to admit the con- ji
. gregation of ladies, who stood pleading 11
!either with soft voices or in mute beau- j ■
!ty around the doors, and in the pas-!i
’ ; sages. But that day seems to ho past, j
Their charms are now displayed only
from ttie front gallery, of which they
(have the entire monopoly. The dear
• lest treasure —the wives and daughters
; iof Senators themselves —are placed on •
;; that shelf. Even the House, with its
J spacious Hall, has become very cxclu-1
J -sive. The old Lieutenant General of
• the Army is now excluded. Even the
, diplomatic corps can only enjoy a sec
tion of the gallery reserved for them.
But to the picture. The chair of
Clinton, Gerry, Calhoun, and other
Vice Presidents, attracts the first glance
s of the spectator, who is surprised to see
t an extreme youth, with coal black hair
occupying it, for Mr. Brcckenridge looks
young even for thirty live. It is a place
s not for the employment, but the repose
. of talant, denying all privilege of de
bate,' which belongs to the Speaker of
5 the House by his right as a Kepresenta
> tive. Tire Vice President combines dig
nity with suavity, and seems to have !
great respect for the seniors over whom j
he presides. That little man, who has j
1 left his seat, and occupies a chair on the j
; floor directly in front of the Vicc-Presi- {
dent, is Senator Douglas. He has taken
that seatto listen to Senator Col lamer, on |
3 theKepublicanside of the chamber, who is ]
reasoning about slave property, and in i
i terspersing his arguments with bits of
wit and satire. There is no eloquence
of imagination or manner, but he deliv
. ers himself in easy, though not very
distinct tones, and in a senatorial, semi-
(judical style. The “little giant" seems j
I to enjoy it much, while Senator Mason,
the author ts the fugitive slave law,
■ which Mr. C. is dissecting, hastens to
his seat, snatches his pen, and jots
(down his antagonist’s argument with
lan air that seems to say—“ I can tri
lumphantly answer it.”
! Considerable attention is given to the
'speaker, though the seats on the pro
i slavery side of the House seem to be va
cated by a number of Senators. Mr.
•Green, of Missouri, is of course atten
tive, for it is to his pro-Leeompton ar
gument the Senator is replying. At
, the extreme of the Administration cir
cle sits Dr. Gwin, of California, a man
of grey hairs, hut of a strong and heal
thy frame, much devoted to the inter
ets of his Pacific State blending pleas
-1 ant manners with energetic action, and
awakening in the mind a lively idea of
the dignity and progress of our empire
in the extreme West. Though origin
ally from a slave State, he had no diffi
culty in advocating free institutions for
. California. In the midst of the anti
slave circle sits Hale, his countenance
; mirror of good nature and pleasant hu
i mor. his person redolent of good diges
tion, his air that of easy satisfaction
with everybody, I had almost 6aid eve
rything, for after all his displays about
slavery, one cannot help thinking he
would sacrifice almost anything to a
jest. He is not a man of sympathy, but
of wit. Here is a couplet descriptive
of a certain member of the British Par
liament :
*• Ward lias no heart they say, but I deny it;
Ward has a heart, and gets his speeches by it."
! Now, if Hale does not always get his
(speeches by heart, he doubtless, like
I Sheridan (like him only in this,) elabo
j rates beforehand some of those morsels
jof wit, which appear to he the sallies of
i the moment. Near him sits Seward,
! one of the ambitions men of the nation,
(who aims at a certain philosophical
(style of oratory, like Edmund Burke's,
and appears better in print than on the
floor. He has few of the graces of orato
ry, and a kind of portentous voice, not
; jexactly unmusical, but very peculiar,
land quite unexpreasive of emotion of
•any sort, unless in pronouncing an
elegy. He has the superior qualifica
tion of a genial temper, which it is
■ nearly impossible to perturb, and seeks
to be on good terms with all. In his
office at his family residence he sits in
great comfort, smoking his cigar, while
he franks public documents, and at the
c same time talks with his friends, flis
colleague, King, has thus far been
1 quiescent this session. Toombs is well
■ known as a bluff Southerner, who has
wandered from his proper latitude, and
sits wedged in among the Republicans,
but treats them in generous style, while
he slashes their doctrines l ight and left,
lie is a forcible declaimer, and even de
bater, though not a very distinct speak
er, Indistinct utterance is indeed the
besetting sin of Congress orators, not
withstanding the great examples of
Clay, Webster and Everett, whom all
could hear with case, and of course with
pleasure.
A noticeable man on the floor is Sena
tor Benjamin, of Louisiana, who takts
quite a distinguished rank both as a
lawyer and a statesman. His Hebrew
name, Judah P., marks his lineage as of
that wondrous race that cannot he con
cealed from the world, however they
may mingle with the far distant Gen
tiles. His elevated position is not only
evidential of talent, but of the free tole
ration vouchsafed ill our itsitutions to
all of every name who would he true
republicans. He is a fine looking man,
of perhaps 37 years, with dark bright
eyes, black frizzled hair, and of a form 1
not tall, but staltwart. The style of
his head and face is said to hear resem
blence to that of the celebrated Disraeli,
of the British Parliament, but less sarc
astic, sardonic, in its expression. It has,
indeed, a remaikable blandness, but
not at the expense of energy, for in ac
tion he is powerful. He appears with
| great distinction before the Supreme
Court, and is said to'he a dangerous an
; tagonist. His voice, though not strict
ly feminine, is high-keyed ; not pierc
ing, hut melodious Louisiana has sent
quite a succession of eloquent men to
the Senate. Ihfmmond, of South Caro
lina, now a rising star in the Southern
hemisphere. In the true spirit ands
I genius of a Calhoun and a Lowndes, he
|last week condensed volumes into an
hour’s speech on the Kansas question,
throwing light even on that threadbare
! theme, and setting the lent/thy Seward a
! good example. It is astonishing how
! much brilliant talent comes out of the
! “benighted" South. She sends and
keeps her best men here, and thus will
[ever be intellectually, if not numerical
|]y, strong on this national theatre,
i His colleague, Judge Evans, is a dis- j
ftqcnt sort of a man,Jess brilliant and;
[effective, but calm, judicial, full of
amenity, sedate as a clergyman, andi
highly respected in the Senate. Davis,
of Mississippi, the Mexican Colonel, ami;
afterwards Secretary of War, sits on the j
Administration side, good proximity toj
his Western friends, and sternly main,
tains his peculiar opinions. He : . s an
indifferent orator, having beer e l e vated
rather cn a military the;,, a civil basis.
As a debater, he is 'inferior to his old j
comrade, Gen Quitman 0 f the House,;
who can mat o a vor y respectable speech,
especially if jf is for raising troops, or
[vindicating; fillibusters. He has a pro
i fusion of grey hair on his head and face,
I which latter is a stranger to the razor.
!Cen. Davis is slightly lame from a
| wound received at Monterey with Tay- j
lor, whose daughter he married. His
colleague Brown, is a knightly gentle-[
man, capable of speaking with interest
and animation, hut is not among the |
Weightiest of Senators. Clay, of Ala-j
jbama, son of a former Senator, is of the |
extreme Southern stamp, rather fluent
in speech, and very resolute in his op-j
position to Treasury expenditures, and|
every measure that smacks of central!- j
zation. The Alabamians are generally
strong on State Rights doctrines and al-1
ways ready for a centrifugal fight.
Delaware has her Bayard, not equal I
to his father, but sufficient for his little !
State, whose other Senator, Bates, frac-j
lured his thigh just as he was starting!
to take the seat made vacant by Clay-!
ton. He is, I believe, a physician by
profession. Slidell, of Louisiana, sel
dom makes a speech, hut is a thorough
politician, a man of great wealth a de
voted friend of the President, and des
tined probably to a foreign mission. He
is of the exedmr or rather extensiar order
j of Americans, believing that the United
j States has the capacity of absorbing the I
I whole continent. His influence is rath-j
er felt than seen. Pearce, of Maryland,!
|is a good debater, of fine personal pro
portions, and popular in the Senate. He
well upholds the dignity of his ancient
and respectable Commonwealth. His
colleague, Kennedy (not John K,->1 is of
the consumptive race of Know Noth
ings, like H. W. Davis, who seem now
to be “nowhere." Hunter,'of Virgin
ia, maintains the great respectability of
that old, weighty State, and though in
middle life, has attained, by steady' pro
gress the character of an able statesman,
destined, not perhaps to reach the Presi
dency, hut to fill a seat in s ane Cabinet,
if the South is to have an equal future
share in the honors and responsibilities of
[the national government. Houston, the
old favorite of Jackson, is wearing out
the remnant of his term for Texas, as
one about to bid farewell to public life.
“Superfluous lag- the Veteran on the stage.”
Younger men press for vacant seua- j
tonal seats, from which they expect
honors, if they cannot impart any to
them. Some mighty spirits have de
parted from the Senate never to return,
but perhaps the affairs of the nation!
I will go on as prosperously as when their;
oppressive presence was felt in the coun
cils of the nation.

Extract from the Report of the Agent of the Comptroller of the State oj A etc I ork.
Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller, Sfc. ...... ... „
Dear Sir Agreeably to your request, 1 have examined, I believe critically
and fully, the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and
Trust Company. I have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well
kept but the Assets under the heads of Cash on Hand, Bills Receivable, and
Stock Notes, ami feel perfectly safe in reporting to you that the four items of
“Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re
ceivable, ” and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,858. are good, and available to
tlie Company for tliat amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pains
to ascertain the value of the Stocks held by the Company, having visited the sev
eral Companies and conversed fully and freely with their respective officers.
The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth
streets, is a very fine free-stone building, well built and admirably arranged; its
location is one of the best for business purposes in Philadelphia. 1 have called
upon the gentleman who built it, and sold it to the Company, who informed me
that it cost him over $70,000 cash. 1 think this property would be a good in
vestment at $75,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company are all
good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least fifty percent, more
than the amount tor which they are mortgaged.
From this statement it will be seep that this Company should recen e your
Certificate. I desire to add that the Company seems to bo intelligently and pru
dently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidence of the business men
of Philadelphia. [Signed] L- S- CHAI'MELD
