windows of the jewellers ana dealers in TOYS AMI
knick knacks, and the counters of the booksellers
filed with splendid temptations to all that desirs
to keep the good custom of the season. aud give keen
sakes to friends, young old. Business, that ha,
sulo'ed from the st'gOston now weighing on the
country, is revvisg under tho stimulus Of this happy
time, as the pinebing economy that all but the very
rich must practice is temporarily abandoned. Never

bountifal OF more beautiful provision for the sup
ply of Holiday purchases, and those in pursuit Of
suitable things for presents whether books or other
articles win find in our advertising columns abundant
directions where TO procure them.

PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, Dec II, 1854.
The extensive chandelier and gas-fxture manufac-
tory of Messrs Cornelius * Co., on Cherry-st above
s,h-st., was entirely destroyed by fire at an early
hour this morning, together with some dfteen adjon-
ing dwellings, and numerous stables, &c. The loss
is heavy.
The fire was the work OF al incendiary.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The factory was bst in the form Of the letter U,
1872 by 60 feet and Eve stories high Il was used as
finishing shop, and gave employment to 400 works
men. There was an immense amount Of flashed
work in the building ready for shipment, valued at
about $4,000.
The building cost $50, 900, and the whole amount
insured is s37, 500 divided among our various city
Offices. The eastern wal fell down crushing several
email dwellings Raspberry-alIey, but the IRE hay-
ing previously spread to hem they were fortunately
vacated Besides these, large number of dwellings
On Mincourt in the rear of the factory, half dozen

TIE GAME CLosED.-The citizens Of the Sixth
Ward were yesterday favored with the attention
of the Commits sioners of Police, who very kindly
received the resignation of Capt. Matthew I.
Brennan, and appointed Joseph Bowling, mem
Der of the Ward force, to be Captain of Police in
bis stead. The JOB seems to have been done very
quietly, there having been no notice given so far
ss we are aware, of the tine when Captain Bren-
nan would resign. 1t seems to us that 1t would
be decided advantage, both to the people and
the Department, to have the intended resi- na-
tions, of Police Captains especially, published a
month before taking place SO that those who put
the guardianship of their lives and property in
their hands should at least have the privilege Of
humbly petitionipg for or sgains! the men named
as successors But then, if the citizens are sat-
isfed, in the Sixth Ward and elsewhere, we need
feel no anxiety about the matter. At any rate,
whether satisfied or not as the law now is in this
government Of the people, they cannot help them
selyes. This appointment explains to our salts
faction the peculiar features Of the vote OF the
Sixth Ward at the late election.

For the Register.
The Serenade.

II was beautiful night; the heavens
were bcstudded with sparkling gems,
and Nature was quiet, even to the very
leaves on the trees, so motionless was the
air and the fragrance Of the widespread
country was fresh and cool, seeming to
speak of tho countless blessings Of the
fair green earth around. Aud there were
a number Of friends who had come to
pour across the midnight air into our
delighted cars, Tho. sweetest harmony of
music. How the sound came gushing
forth in strains now quick, now slow,
then wild and mournful, and again flow
ing so plaintive and sweet that it re.
minded us of some lovely stream, which,
coming from bidden fount, gave forth
most lovely melody, carrying joy to ev-
cry wanderers bosom,a and still! kept sing
ing as it glided on. Our utmost thanks and
benisons followed the party as they re.
ceded from view, and their music will
lingcr and echo in memory's hall long,
long time. And there was another part,
too, to this most happy occasion-thc
feeling Of friendship by which it was
prompted and carried into execution. 1t
is very pleasant to evince our kind feel
ings in various ways, but most pleasant
and joyous is it thus to render tributes
of feeling to another-a as one would be-
stow very beautiful gift. When the
music first broke the stillness,w we were iu
the land Of Nod )" and while our senses
we're as yet but half awakened, we CON-
menced fairy dream and sweet angel
and her music were tho theme. But
presently we awoke to the full realiza-
tion of the sereuade and of these sweet
lines
~ hen sleep no more though round thy heart
Some tender dream may idly play,
For midnight song with magic art,
Shall chase that dream away" c.
