The JAPANESE IN PHILADELPHIA.
From Published accounts in the
Philadelphia Enquirer, the Quaker
City is not behind in her bospitali.
ty and muni6cencc to the distin-
guished foreigners. If they take
home with them, all the presents
they have received, some such
boat as the Great Eastern will be
required. The Inquirer says:
The presents were made to the
Governor" and that venerable
fossil received them with grim
satisfaction. The sewing machine
was the "Golconda token" to him
and when it became his property
he was so elated that he at once
insisted ON going to bed. After
unparalleled coaxing, however, he
was pursuaded to return and re-
ceivc other testimonials. These
we will enumerate

WrH AND WITHOUT GAFFs.-Most

oil the reAueTS Oh tniS he"opdpe'
have we dare say, witnessed cock
fights, with and without gaffs.-
Nature in this, as other matters,
seem 10 know best what is best
adapted to her wants, and in the ap.
parent discord which exists in all
animated nature, she has provided
each creeping thing with some
means Of defence; indeed the vege-
tables have skin, burs, briars and
spurs to protect themselves to the
extent designed; no more. The cock
has a stiff and honey weapon for
his defense, and when he springs
from the she'll of game eggs is dis
posed to fight his kind. His abil.
ity to kill is improved by an inven-
ton of mana weapon of steel,
buckied about the fifth toe. Dogs
have large mouths and correspond
ing teeth, to bite in their defense.
We presume there are very few Of
our customers who have not at
some period. had the pleasure Of
witnessing dog fight; but few have
seen muzzled fight. Such a one
occurred down town yesterday. A
promiscuous gathering of dogs all
muzzled and apparently sensible of
the security which the law gives
them for wearing this invention !;
met at 4 o'clock and fought savage
ly until shutdown. This is perhaps
T., longest dog-6ght en- record, and
strange to say, was attended with
less disasterous consequences than
any previous affair of the same
kind within the range of authentic
history. The small dog, finding
that the large one could not open
his mouth on him, showed more
than the usual amount Of courage
and the bristles on the entire large
animal stood out like quilts. How
suggestive of the early time; when
Sir Knight could go into the field
and fight with a good hope Of en-
j,ying the reward of daring brave.
ryi That was before the day Of
villianous salt-pcter. Fighting men
then carried their castles on their
backs; they were locked up in steel
There was no way of killing them
whilst on their legs and when
down, their shells had first to be
cracked like oysters. That was
the dawn Of misunderstanding
the brightest page Of history. Self
cooking pistols and bowie-knives
with patriotic sentiments stamped
on the blades have obliterated all
the poetry of existence and made
towards Of us all. We carry such
things--get frightened--pull them
out and do very mischievous dam
nge with them.
VERY LARGE CHlcKENs.-Says the
Scientific American: ave have
heard of philosophy in a nutshell"
and philosophy in an egg," and
many persons suppose that phiio-
sophy cannot be Of much account
when it can be cramped into such
contracted receptacles. If the value
of philosophy were to be estimated
by the length, breath, highth and
depth of modern eggs, we would
certainly conclude that we live in
degenerate times, in comparison
with those supposed pre- admites

16- Five slabs dug from the ruins
Of Nineveh, were received at Bow
dom College on the Both ult., and
have been placed in frames and de-
posted in the hall leading to the IL
brary. They were given to the Col
lege in 1858 by Mr. II. b. Haskell,
graduate of the Medical School,
then just returned from Mogul, in
Assyria. In his letter to Professor
Cleveland, Mr.. Haskell describes
them as specimens Of the arrow, head
ed character, and much superior to
any ever brought to America. The
slabs bear full size figures Of kings,
priests, &c. The first, upon which
is sculptured figure Of gigantic pro-
portions, is seven feet eight inches
long, trife longer than the figure,
by five wide; two others are four by
three or three and quarter feet; and
the fourth slab is small--quite irreg-
ular in form, having been much bro
ken either in removal from The ruins,
or in the various methods Of transpor-
tation to this country. The fifth one
forms only half of gigantic figure,
and it is deemed probable that the
other part has gone to Alexandra,
d. c., where portion of the invoice
was consigned.

BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

from Cnarleston.
The outside pressure in favor Of Douglas
is very strong, and the general impression
is that u large portion of the delegates ia
favor Of his nomination will oppose the
admission Of the delegates who seeded
from the Charleston Convention, and ia
vor the admission Of all new delegates
who may present themselves.
The whole matter, however, will be re-
ferred 10 the Committee on Credentials,
who will not report before Tuesday morn
ing.
ifthey report against the seceder-, the
latter will 20 back to Richmond, and there
make nominations for President and Vice
President.
II, on the other hand. the committee re-
port in favor Of the seccders, and that re-
port is not, through the action Of the
Douglas delegates, approved by the con-
Yention, the same result will follow.
In either case, 1t is probable that several
Of the Northern delegates, who arc op-
posed to Douglas, will also withdraw and
unite with the seceders at Richmond, in
making O nomination.
IT, on the contrary, everything goes on
smoothly and harm oniously, and there Is
nc secession, 1t is believed that new can
didate will be brought forward and nomi-
tod. In no case will Douglas be nomina
ted.
The Douglas men, however, stand firm
and unyielding as yet, and claim for him
1856 votes on the first ballot.
A>regards the feeling of the convention
personally, both factions appear to be
moro bitter and excitable towards each
other than when at Charleston.
On the conclusion of the Presidents re-
marks, Mr.. Howard, Of Tennessee, moved
that tickets of admission be issued to the
delegates who seeded at Charleston.
The President responded that the Chair
undertook to decide nothing, the right to
seats devolved entirely upon the Conven-
ton, be ruled it to be privileged question
and wished the Convention to decide o.
once, for Mr.. Church, of New York offered
tho following amendment to Mr.. How
ards motion
ResOlred, That the credentials Of all
persons claiming seats in the Convention,
made vacant by the secession OF delegates
at Charleston, be referred to the commit
tee are hereby instructed, IA soon as prac-
ticabie, to examine the same and report
the names Of persons entitled to such seats:
with the distinct understanding. however,
that every person occupying scat in this
Convention is bound in honor and good
filth, to abide by the action Of this Con-
venhon and support Of its nominees.
The previous question was demanded
but the Con vention refused TO second the
call-yeas lo71f, nays l4o1S.
Mr.. Gilmer, of Pa, u en- offered as an
amendment to the amendment Of Mr.
Church to Mr.. Towards motion, the fol-
lowing:
Resolred, That the President Of this
Convention be directed Ca issue tickets of
admission TO seats in tho Convention to
the delegates from the States of Texas,
Florida, Mississippi and Arkansas, in
which seats there are no con,esting dele
cations.
Here the Convention took recess until
FIVE o'clock.

WAR WITH CHrNA.-The New York

WAR WITH CHrNA.--The New York
Commercial Advertiser is favored by
a large commercial house in that city
with the following extract of a letter
from their branch house at Hong
Kong:
HoSo KoNG. April Is, 1860
News arrived from Shanghai, per H..
|. NJ. steamer Saigon, of the refusal
Of the Chinese Government to accept
the ultimatum proposed by the allied
powers, and we must now look for
war actually to commence.
This steamer does not bring private
information, and we are not able to
state what effect. this news has had
upon the Shanghai market. Trade in
imports is at a complete standstill,
and the prices demanded for export
goods prevent any transactions OF mo.
ment.
We presume that there is no longer
any room for coubL upon the subject,
AMI that war between China. France
and England, is now inevitable. The
punishment of the Chinese for their
treachery in the affair Of Peiho, we
imagine, will be signal and severe,
and the retribution of such charac.
ter as to effectually prevent any repe.
tition Of such conduct.
