Ttm LAST OF THE PrSss.--it Is announced that Granville John Penn. Esq, the head of the family Of that name, and the great grandson of William Penn, will arriye m ths city to-day.

But four genefa- tons have elapsed since the great founder of Phil. adelphia held bis immortal treaty with the In- dians; and yet, in that scant period in . natou's lifetime, wilderness, inhabited only by few saysgcs, has been transformed into esty with nearly hall q usiisom of s6lfs.
