The Masonic Festival.

We regret to say, that notwithstanding the
extensive arrangements made by the Masonic
Fraternity of our city for celebrating st.
Johns day, the affair was a total failure. The
guests arrived from below about one o'clock in
the morning. Through some misapprehension
they were not on hand to hear the address OF
welcome, which was announced to be delivered
at the Capitol at IL o'clock in the morning.
They appeared, however, late in the afternoon,
when small crowd was hastily convened, and
the address delivered, by the Hon. AARON
GooDRIcH. This, we proposed publishing this
morning; but the address as printed in the
Democrat, of Saturday, in whose hands the
copy was placed by the Committee, appears to
us so horrible mutation Of the really excel
lent original, that our respect for the orator
deters us from giving it any further publicity
in the shape it there appeared. We shall her.
after publish it, if furnished with correct YER
sion.
After the guests had listened to the recep-
ton speech, they left in the steamer Tor their
homes The ball which had been projectcif)r
their amusement, was attended by our citizvns
generally, instead, and proved an occasion OF
rare festlvity.

The Powder Explosion at Wilmington.

Below Will be found some particulars attend
ing the terrible tragedy at Wilmington, Del,
which we have not heretofore published. 1t
will be recollected that there were three large
teams. each having four hundred and fifty kegs
of powder, which was being conveyed from Du-
points mills to the wharf for shipment. An
exchange says:
The teams were passing by the elegant resi-
dencc of Bishop Lee, which was badly shat
tered The front wall fell into the street.
The floors were broken up, and every window
and door in the house was torn away and
broken to pieces. The Bishops beautiful gar
den was entirely destroyed. There was iortu-
nately only servant and child in the house,
the Bishop and his family being absent attend
ing a convention of the diocese in st. Andrew S
church a few squares off. The servant woman
was very badly injured. The child escaped
nearly unframed.
Three houses on Orange street below -Four
tecnth street, were completely destroyed; one
Of the houses, a wooden structure. utterly dc
molshed. a young Irshman, boarding with
John NJ 'Laughiin, was fatally injured, and died
shortly after the disaster. The scene i'll the
neighborhood OF the explosion beggared all de-
scription, and looked as though an earthquake
had taken place. Trees were torn up by the
roots, fragments Of the wagons, horses and
drivers were scattered in all directions. \ hui
man arm was found 800 feet from the place OF
explosion, and one of the drivers was lodged on
the shore Of the Brandywine. The tire of one
wagon weighing one hundred pounds was
thrown distance of 200 feet, and a fragment
Of another tire WIS driven nearly through the
trunk of large tree. One gentleman riding
on horseback some distance ahead Of the
wagons felt the ground trembling, and at the
same moment was lifted from his horse, and
seeing the windows falling into the street
thought an earthquake had occurred. Nearly
all the houses along Orange street, as far south
as Tenth street, had glass shattered. The ex-
plosion caused terrible sensation through the
city, people rushing from their houses in great
terror.
Thus far only five persons are known to have
been killed. The shock was felt thirty-ilyt
miles south of Wilmington.

The New Orleans papers contain procla-
nation by the Captain General dated May
4th, in which he stigmatises the report rela-
tive to an intended emancipation of the slaves
as false and calumnious. He tells the owners
of slaves that they stand in no danger oflosing
their property, and calls on the various local
authorities to punish the authors or propaga-
tors of the reports. He even indirectly de-
nounces AbOlitionisn1, and seems to have little
respect for the African character, but intimates
his intention to suppress the slave trade

The agricultural prospects of California are

"From every quarter of the State the in

ng~It appears that the Russians have an
ticipated this country in effecting the opening
of the ports of Japan. The China mail says,
1--WE have the intelligence that Japan will
shortly be opened to the commerce of the world.
The visit Of Commodore Perry, in July last,
no doubt fastened the event, which his return
would probably have accomplished; but the
actual achievement is due to the Russians, not
to the Americans. While Commodore Perry
deemed it the wisest course, after delivering
the letter of the President of the United States
in due form at Uraga, to allow six months to
elapse before requiring an answer, Admiral
Pontiatine, without debating the place where
he should hold intercourse with the Japanese
authorities, went as directed to Nangasaki and
has succeeded in negotiating, apparently with
out any sacrifice of national dignity, and with
the sort of success which the world was more
prepared to expect from the practical republic
than from the Russian arstocrat.
