The heavy pre.: sure of advertisements upon the columns of our paper will not admit of their reception after tin hour named. L< >CAL MATTERS^ 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. fcmuraal j lAigfft dates from Liverpool April 17 ! latest dates from Havre April 14 i latest dates from Havana April 25 EVENING DISPATCH OFFICE, ) K Augusta, Saturday, May 1, P.

FLORENCE, President. EDWARD HEJIBOLDT, Secretary. JOHN THOMASON, General Superintendent. 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.
