From the Star of last evening we learn that Can
tain Franklin Buchanan yesterday assumed the
command of the Washington navy-yard. A few
minutes before noon the employees of the several
departments, the naval and civil officers master
workmen, &C., numbering about seven hundred
assembled at the flagstaff near the main gateway,
when Captain Buchanan, after salute from tie
marine guard, being introduced by Commander
Turner, addressed the multitude briefly, express
ing the pleasure which he experienced in entering
upon the duties of so important a command. He
was glad to hear that harmony and good feeling per
vaded the various departments of the yard. He was
aware that the Washington navy-yard had high
reputation, both at home and abroad, and he
wished, far his best efforts could contribute to
it, to preserve and maintain that reputation. He
would expect those under his command to be
prompt attentive, and efficient in the discharge of
their respective duties That was all he asked, and
all he had to say.
The several officers then paid their respects to the
new commanding officer at his quarters, and soon
after retired,

PHILADELPHIA POsTMAsrER.-The telegraph an
nounces the appointment of n. B. Browne ESQ, to
be be Postmaster at Philadelphia, in place Of Mr.
Westcott
While it may be regretted that occasion should
have arisen in the official conduct of the incumbent
to require the Postmaster General to inquire into
the matter, and to report, which report was of such
character as to compel the President to make
change in the Postmaster of our City, and while va
rlous preferences for the succesSorship have been
entertained and expressed, feel confident it will
be admitted by all who know Mr.. Browne, that his
excellent character for personal and political ntcg-
rlty and his high order of business qualifications
emlnently fit him for the place. and constitute a
sure guarantee to the public that they will have in
him competent, efficient and satisfactory Post
MASTER
1t is also due to Mr.. Browne to say that he was
the earnest, eloquent and effective supporter of
Mr.. Buchanan and the National Democracy in the
great campaign of Sc, and he has always been
open and decided in opposition to sectional Aboli-
tionism and proscriptve Known Nothingism.-P Penn

The MYSTERIOUS CHESS PLAYER-The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Nercury in
notice OF Morphy, the great chess player, saws a
queer incident occurred to him soon after his arri
val in New Gork. \ carriage drove to the ST
Nicholas in which was seated a splenddy dressed
lady. She sent up card, and requested an inter-
view with the chess champion The interview was
granted, when the fair vsiter demanded the priv-
iege OF playing game with Mr.. Morphy. Mr.. NJ.
locked at the magnificent eyes of the stranger,
and said aye certainly" The chess table was
brought to the window, and Mr. Morphy placed
the men. The lady, of course, was permitted the
first move. Half a dozen moves were made on
either side, and Morphy found himself interested
his visiter promised to prove the most formidable
antagonist he had had for a long time. Being alb
sorbed in the game, Morphy directed the servant to
admit no one else until it was completed. The
game lasted two hours and was drawn. The lady
was then satisfied, and bushingly took her leave
Morphy himself accompanying her to her carriage
The moment she had gone, Morphy and his friends
set at work to ascertain the identity of the beauti
ful visiter, not doubling that the name upon her
card could be found in the directory. This how
ever, proved to be mistake, and though every
endeavor was made to ascertain precisely who was
the visiter, the gentlemen are as much in the dark
as ever. Whoever she may be, she PLAYED the best
game In which Morphy ever contestant and
she probably adopted these means of matching her
self with Morphy in order to assure herself Of her
own skill

WORTHY OF IMTTArIoN.-The people of the cities
are turning their attention to athletic out-ofdoor
games. We see that the popular English sport of
''cricket' is rapidly advancing in favor. The
character and details of the game are very sim
pie, and we commend it to our readers every
where. The cities of England do not produce ma
ny good players. 1t is the villages and country
towns which perfect the game and the cricketer
and it should be so here In another generation or
two, there will be plenty fine players no doubt,
but they will arise mainly in the rural districts
