The New DIPLOMATIC CosTUME.--The
following paragraph in u letter Of the Paris
correspondent ofthe London Times, giving
aud account of a recent Imperial levee,
should send a thrill Of pride through every
American breast: irpg
"Among the Diplomatic Corps was, Of
course Mr.. Sanford, the Charge d'Afairs
of the United States, who, in compliance
with the recent instructions of the Ameri-
can Secretary Of State, appeared in the sim
Pile dress OF an American citizen. This un-
assuming costume, which presented a strik-
ing contrast with tho glitter Of embroidery
and the blaze Of stars and crosses around
caused much sensation, and is a topic OF
conversation Ia all tue political circles. MIR.
Sanford had previously intimated to the
grand chNmberlain's department; that he
should SO appear. This is, | believe, the
hrst occasion that the Instructions of the
American government have been carried
out, as they were this day, faith fully to the
letter, by Mr., Sanford. ;" ~
No one will be disappointed at the sensa-
ton created by Mr.. Sanford's appearance
attired like an American gentleman; the
only wonder is that diplomatic vanity hac
never before discovered such ready means
Of self-indulgence,

this evening, for an intellectual feast which is
rarely offered, and should be lost by any one.
We published, on Saturday, the letter from many
of our most respectable citizens, who take delight
in the treasures that belong TO the mind, inviting
Professor Charles Whitney to deliver lecture on
elocution in this city, and his reply acceding 10
their request. This evening is the time fixed for
the lecture to take place, and it will be sure TO be
attended by large audience. We refer TO the
programme, published in another column, which
tells what choice selection of pieces, from the
great poets and orators of the past and present
time, have been made To and hear him de-
liver these poems and speeches. IS to pass an even

pleasant and intellectual party, let no one stay

Attempted Incendiarism and Burglary
About O'clock on Tuesday evening, the family
of r. r. Brooks, ia Ross street, near Paca, while
sitting in a back room on the first floor, were
aroused by three successive discharges OF re-
volver in the chamber above them, which was i'm
mediatey followed by noise from the window.
On repairing to the room, bureau was discov-
cred enveloped in flames, which threatened the
entire building, but the prompt application OF a
few buckets oil water stopped their progress II
was then ascertained that jewery to the amount
of $780, which had been carefully placed in one OF
the drawers, had been destroyed. The explosion
of the revolver was undoubtedly caused by the
burning bureau, as Mr., B. had laid il upon the top
of il shortly before dark The escape Of child
who was sleeping in bed which the balls struck
is almost miraculous. The fire was no doubt the
work of an incendary, who was probably fright
