of Park-Row, Messrs. TIFFANY AND YOUNG, Chambers-street and Broadway, and Messrs. WILLIAMS AND STEVENS, corner of Leonard-street and Broadway. All over the United States, from out these vast establishments, proceed those articles of taste and grace, the demand for which shows an appreciation of the beautiful, which cannot be without its effect in lessening the reproach, so often brought against us, that we lack an appreciation, if not a knowledge, of the artistical accessories which heighten the enjoyments of life. In this regard, we consider the enterprising houses we have mentioned, as in one respect at least, national benefactors. MUCH amused to-night with an anecdote told in the sanctum of an artist in ornamental glass, who was preparing pictures of three or four of the APOSTLES, for an oriel window of a church in a flourishing western city. He had just taken them from his furnace, and was showing them to some of the vestry. 'Don't say any thing about it,' said he, 'for it would n't be noticed by one person out of a hundred, but I do n't mind telling you in confidence: Saint PETER is a little cracked in the head; he was too soft in the upper end; but I've got a first-rate bake on PAUL. Saint JOHN, though, is n't more than half-baked; I'll have to bake another JOHN. But d'ever you see a better-baked PAUL?' His remarks were entirely professional; nor had he the most remote idea of there being a double-meaning in any thing he was saying. IF you wish to see what sort of a place Binghamton, Broome county, is, step into the Exchange, or into the publication-office of the KNICERBOCKER, and take a glance at the new and beautiful illustrated map of the village, by Mr. BEVAN, Civil Engineer and Surveyor. Look at 'Shnang-P'int,' and the wide-spread town which lies above it; look at ‘Oakwood Cottage,' at ‘Ingleside,' and at the beautiful residence of Mr. CHRISTOPHER ELDRIDGE, at the point where the Susquehanna and the Chenango, united in a loving embrace, 'flow on in beauty to the sea.' Take particular note of 'The Phonix Hotel,' by the graceful iron bridge that crosses the Chenango canal, whose fresh-smelling waters lapse along the end of the edifice. That's the place to take your ease in your inn.' We don't see the welcome and welcoming face of the handsome host at the door; 'Lord CLIFTON' is engaged inside. He is making guests happy in his beautiful private parlors, sending them away to their clean and cool sleeping apartments, or marshalling them to a table whose variety and abundance APICIUS might have envied. This is the old 'stage-house,' whence radiate the stage-coaches to all parts of "York State,' Pennsylvania, and the benighted 'Jarsies.' 'The LEWIS House,' on the bill near the New-York and Erie Rail-road, a new, spacious and tasteful structure, adds not a little to the architectural attractions of Binghamton. It should be a good hostel; for it is a KNICKERBOCKER, 'cousin german on the Scotch side' to the venerated DIEDRICH, the immortal historian, who keeps it. ... WE condense a few Theatrical and Operatic Facts: By the time our next number shall be ready for the press, Miss Catherine Hayes, the celebrated Irish Vocalist, will have made her advent in New-York. We predict for her a success only second to that of JENNY LIND. She has reached the topmost point in her profession abroad, having gained triumph after triumph in the Italian, English, and Irish cities. Moreover, she is as beautiful as she is good, and as good as she is gifted. Mr. J. H. WARDWELL, a gentleman of character and standing, is Miss HAYES' agent for this country. We shall enlarge our readers' knowledge of this gifted person in our next number. MR. EDWIN FORREST will open an engagement at the Broadway Theatre on the fourteenth of September. We hope he will open either in 'LEAR' or 'RICHELIEU,' in either of which characters he is without an equal on the English or American stage. -THE Opera at Castle-Garden is a most charming and popular resort. The place is delightful; the artists are of the very first order of merit; the operas

well chosen; and the management of Mr. MARETZEK faultless. It is a physical and
a spiritual treat to visit the opera at Castle-Garden.
A. Marshall, the able director of the Broadway Theatre, will soon 'come off' at
A Testimonial to Mr. E.
Castle-Garden and at his own theatre. Let it be a 'testimonial' indeed, to the first
American manager who has received that honor in this city. It is richly mer-
ited. . . A LITERARY RECORD,' containing notices, more or less at large, of
some dozen new works, although placed in type, is necessarily omitted until next
month. The same is true of four additional pages of 'Gossip,' which were capable
of postponement. . . . CORRESPONDENTS must 'exercise patience.' We have
twenty-four poetical articles standing in type, awaiting insertion. Several new arti
cles, in prose and verse, await examination or are on file for insertion. A charming

please furnish another copy? .. THE postage on our work, by the new law,

is a mere trifle. Fall in the ranks!' therefore, friends, and put down your names on
'Old KNICK's' list. And send on your journals, contemporaries, every where. They
now reach us free of postage; and we shall be glad to hear from you.'

THE few brief notices which ensue are strung upon the longest thread we can at present command: Jenny Lind in America,' is the title of a small, neat volume, from the press of Messrs. STRINGER AND TOWNSEND. The author, C. G. ROSENBERG, Esq., has given us, in detail, all the various entertaining and amusing incidents of the fair Swede's journeyings and concerts since her first arrival in New-York. The work is written in an easy, flowing style, and we doubt not will have a wide circulation. We were sorry to encounter this passage in the description of JENNY's departure for Boston: As the steamer passed BLACKWELL'S Island, the prisoners had been drawn out in line to greet her as she passed. It might, however, be considered as proof of very questionable taste, either on the part of the keeper or of themselves, and JENNY very evidently thought so; for, after inquiring of Mr. BARNUM who were those enthusiastic admirers of music, and hearing his answer, she turned rapidly toward the other side of the boat. It was obvious that between herself, and them there could be no tie of the slightest sympathy.' Do you think so, Mr. ROSENBERG? Did JENNY LIND have no sympathy with the poor 'prisoners and captives' for whom she prays in the service of her church? We think better of her heart than to-belie it. She may even have turned away from the sight through an excess of sympathy. - ANOTHER new edition of Poems by J. G. Sare' will soon be issued in superb style. The volume has had a very large sale, and will continue to have, for it possesses the true elements of life. Mr. SAXE's poem, recently delivered at the collegiate exercises of the New-York University, is one of his very best productions. Its humor, spirit and epigrammatic point were applauded to the very echo that did applaud again.' Dr. BETHUNE's admirable address upon 'Oratory' and SAXE's poem were not only worthy of their authors, but their union on the same evening was a rare treat, and abundantly enjoyed. character, and what the cost and condition, of the great public works of the Empire State, we Ir the reader would know what is the commend to his perusal the Report of the Chief Engineer of the State of New-York,' Hon. H. C. SEYMOUR, just published by order of the Legislature. It is a very able document, embodying, beside the special report of the Chief,' the collateral reports of all the officers in his 'bailiwick.' It is illustrated by several well-engraved maps and sketches. Certain important and gratifying facts set forth in this 'Report' may claim a notice at our hands hereafter. Evening Mirror,' under the able supervision of its proprietor and editor, HIRAM FULLER, Esq., is flourishing like a green baize tree,' as Mrs. PARTINGTON would say. It has been obliged to follow its contemporaries of the Tribune' and 'Herald' in the frequent issue of a capacious double-sheet, in order to make room for interesting matter which would otherwise be crowded out by its numerous advertisements. This success is well deserved, for the Mirror' is conducted with energy and talent. "HARPERS" and the INTERNATIONAL' Magazines are experiencing the favor of the public in no ordinary degree. The former, especially, has an immense circulation. The opening article of the July number was a very able one. It was from the patriotic pen and pencil of Mr. B. J. LOSSING, and was a most timely paper for July, coming so near the Glorious Fourth.' It contained numerous other articles of great merit, including many well-judged and carefully discriminated Literary Notices. readers with good portraits and biographies of FITZ-GREEN HALLECK, and Dr. MAYO, author of The INTERNATIONAL' favored its Kalloolah.' A running Salmagundi, containing not ces of men and books, published or forthcoming at home and abroad, with brief literary and artistical cn-dits, forms one of the promi nent attractions of the 'INTERNATIONAL.' It proceeds from the prolific pen of the EDITOR.

THE DAILY TRIBUNE

Is issued every morning except Sunday on a large sheet of fine white paper, forming eight pages of six columns each, or about the size of two average Country Newspapers. About six of these pages are new every morning; the aggregate of Editorials, News, and Miscellanies, being greater than that of any other paper in America, and greater than any but one or two in Europe, though its price is but half that of other first-class Dailies in this Country, and less than one-fourth of the cost of similar journals in England. Two Evening Editions are issued to supply each subscriber with the latest news up to the hour when his copy must be mailed.

THE TRIBUNE is edited in chief by HORACE GREELEY, who has special charge of all matters pertaining to the Politics and Legislation of our Country. Its Foreign (Old World) department is in charge. of CHARLES A. DANA, assisted by able correspondents in London, Paris, Constantinople, &c., &c. Its California intelligence and its City department are in charge of BAYARD TAYLOR, assisted by an efficient corps of Reporters. No expense is or will be spared to render its news from all quarters, by Telegraph, Expresses, Steamships, and Mails, as early and reliable as that of any other paper.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE

contains nearly all the non-advertising matter of the daily, except such as is of local interest, or has been superseded by fuller and more exact advices before the SemiWeekly is issued. It is of the same size with the Daily, and has few advertisements.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE

is issued every Thursday morning, and contains most of the matter of the Daily with more summary accounts of such Events and Proceedings as can not be published in full. We mean that no Weekly shall surpass this in giving a full, graphic, and faithful account of what the world is Doing, whereof it is Thinking, and how it is Progressing.

The TRIBUNE is not yet quite ten years old, and has obtained an aggregate circulation of not far from sixty-five thousand copies-about two thirds of them on its Weekly. Every subscription is paid in advance, and the paper stops when the advance pay runs out, so that no man need hesitate to subscribe from an apprehension of being dunned for arrears, perhaps after he has left the place to which the paper is sent. in ignorance that it is continued. Subscriptions from individuals and clubs are respectfully solicited by
