-! JAMES T. BLACKSTONE, Chrn.
, HN"The Seceders' Convention met and or
, gained at Richmond, on Monday. All the Sc
ceding States except Delaware were represented
A delegation from New York appeared and
claimed admittance. After appointing a Com
: mittee on Credentials and Permanent Organiza-
ton the Convention adjourned until next day
when they organized, by the election Of Mr.
, Ewing, of Alabama, as President, and one Vice
President and Secretary for each State repre-
sented, except New York. They adjourned
over at Richmond, till June DIST
They declared it unnecessary to take any fur
. Their action at this time Though no official de-
claration is made on the subject, the understand
ing seems to be that these delegates will go to
Baltimore to attend the main Convention, on
the 18th inst, when, of course, the question will
arise in regard to their admission to seats. The
parties who attended at Richmond from New
York did not claim to be delegates, but only
friendly commissioners, and urged attendance
at Baltimore, which is favorable indication for
the admission of the seceders.
Bey~ The latest dispatches by the steamer
North Brton, appear to confirm beyond doubt,
the entrance of Garibaldi into Palermo, The
city was bombarded for several hours and the
slaughter large The fall of Palermo will place
the whole island in the possession of the patri-
OTIS, and its annexation to Italy will soon follow
/ Another probable result will be the extension OF
the instruction to the mainland, and Naples
itself may at last be freed from the tyranny of
the Neapolitan Bomba.
! RsH-In the United States Senate on Monday
Mr.. Wilson introduced a resolution to postpone
the day of adjournment until the 28th inst, and

ton bill was taken up in Committee of the

RECEPTION OF THE JAPANESE IN BALTIMORE
We were present and witnessed the reception Of
the japanese Embassy which took place in Bal
timore on Friday last. 1t was throughout a
grand affair. The american says that more
aarnast aud
given in that city, or one in which the whole
population, male and female, so thoroughly par
ticipated. Baltimore street was decorated with
flags throughout the entire line of the procession
the windows crowded with ladies, and the side
walks thronged to their fullest capacity. The
capacious Hall of the Maryland Institute was
also massed with ladies, and the thoroughfares
throughout the entire line of the procession, ex-
tending at least four miles through the city, pre-
sented the same enlvening aspect. The scene
in Monument Square during the display of the
J Fire Department in the afternoon and of the
fireworks at night, was also eyincive of the COR
dial sentiment of our citizens, and evidently
made most favorable impression on the visi-
tors. The Military made fine display, the Fire
Department appeared to great advantage, and
the new Police Department had the first eppor-
81 ell r.
material and thorough efficiency. But above
all, the conduct of the people was most crafty
ing, and everything was in strong contrast witt
! the miserable failure of the arrangements ant
f the character of their reception in Washington
: Philadelphia and New York will find it dfficul
to give the Embassy more impressive recep.
ton than they received in Baltimore.

The JAPANESE IN PHILADELpHIA.-PhHa
delpAia, June 1.-THE japanese generally are
keeping quiet but Tommy and other subordi
mates have paid visits to Oakfords and the prin
cipal stores in the vicinity of the Continental
5 The reported assassination of the Tycoon was
communicated this morning to Captain Dupont
but having doubts of it's authenticity, has deem,
: ed it proper not to divulge it to the Princes
preferring to await instructions from Washing
ton and the arrival of more definite information
2 If communicated, and believed by the En-
F bassy, the present programme would doubtless
be broken up. The commission suppose if th,
report is not entirely unfounded, that it is the
! regent of the Tycoon, who was killed, and no
the Tycoon, who is lad Of but II years of age

The CRoPs.-It is now universally admitted
that with some rare exceptions, the wheat field,
in Virginia, this harvest, will make but sorry
yield; and that where even the appearances are
most favorable, the anticipations early in the
season, will not be realized What is the cast
in Virginia, may be said to considerable extern
in Kentucky and Tennessee. Maryland, too
will not have its usual yield of wheat. The
causes of this, are winter freezing, fly and Join
worm. It is said, therefore, that those who ar.
fortunate enough to make any, will find, this
year, that ''wheat will be wheat Alexandra
