New YORK. Oct. 90.
Sunday School Jubilee. The iiftieth anniver-
sary of the establishment of the first Sabbath
School in England, was celebrated yesterday, &C
cording to arrangements. The numerous schools
which had assembled in different churches at 10
A. NJ. proceeded to the Park at noon, and stood
in a compressed mass in front of the City Hall.
We have not been able to learn how many scho-
lars were present. but there must have been many
thousands, as not only the steps and broad plat
form before them we're covered, but large space
of ground below, extending beyond the extremi-
ties of the City Hall, and occupying nearly the
entire avenues aud walks to the grass Order
was well preserved, and the sounds of the numer
Gus singers formed sweet harmony, as they joined
in several hymns, led by powerful vocal band
composed OF the principal chorsters of the city
churches, assembled on the upper steps Of the
Hall.
A large COLLECTION of ladies crowded the bal
cony, and many thousands of spectators from the
Park and the neighboring streets viewed the scene
with interest. The schools, after the simple ex-
ercses in the Park, were marched off with regu-
larity and in good order, bv the ways they had
come; and, being dismissed in front of the diff
ferent churches, retired 10 their homes.

We have seen the portrait of the Hon. CHIEF
JUSTICE MARSHALL, which is now nearly com
pleted by Henry lnman, Esq; and feel plea
sure in believing that a more correct likeness, in
all points, has never been taken i'll this country.
Those who have seen the Chief Justice, if no more
than once, could not fail instantly to recognize
the remarkable fidelity of the picture. Mr.. H.
man excels in that exquisite touch of his art. en-
preston; while he imparts to the attitude just
ness and grace perfectuIy appropriate to the cha
racter depicted. We rejoice in witnessing such
fortunstegifts in so young an artist The gene
raj excellence attained during long and laborious
years in his noble art, with others, seems to have
sprung insuitively to direct the pencil of lnman.
He completed the head Of the portrait, IN two
short slttings on the part of the Chief Justice;
with what success, may be inferred from the unit
ed praises of all the gentlemen of the Bar who
have beheld it. The warmest friendship could
wish no more for its object. than the possession
of such gcnius.-Philad. Gas.

THE LAST PUN.

From Tie .. 5. GdzfEIe
Some time before the unit" divided by vulgar
fractions, we remember reading in the Washing
ton Telegraph the following caution to the Van Blu
rem men:
I'VE admonish the partisans of the Secretary
of State to beware: strong General Jackson's
popularity Isl his weight is too much for it to carry
How prophetic of the explosion-what sagacity
the editor possessed--perhaps, even, the prophecy
ministered to its own fufment; certain it is, tha
the prophecy had scarcely gone forth t. the ends Of
the nation, before the popularity gave way under lis
burthen, aud horse and riders were overthrown; and
that which had commenced unit tanned our half
