WiNE.-A new wine is just coming into popu-
lar favor, but by no means intoxicating in its ma
ture. We refer to Speer's Sambuci wine, which
has been introduced into the hospitals and among
the first families Of New York, and in London
and Paris, by Alfred Speer of Passaic, N. j.,
who has devoted himself for several years to the
study Of lamentations end producing an article,
the medicinal properties Of which are said to be
unsurpassed BY gentlemen Of reputation. Mr..
Speer ferments his wine by a new process, pecu.
liar to himself, without the addition Of sugar OIL
spirits. We doubt whether there is a vineyard
in the old or new world that can yield wine at
all comparable TO this in richnes or delicacy o.
flavor. All first class druggists keep 1t.
The above extract from the NJ Y. Herdlt
shows the appreciation in which speer's wine il
held abroad. We have drank the wine, and cal
truthfully indOrse what the above extract say
concerning its good qualities. The way in whicl
it is prepared by Mr. Speer gives finer favo
than any wine we every drank before. We re

A MIsTAKn ooRRECTnD,

A statement has been made by some Of
the New York aud Philadelphia Press,
10 the effect, that large part of the proceeds
derived from the recent fairs held in several
OF the large cities were squandered, or not
applied to the purposes intended. Brook
lyn was particularly spoken of as being ex-
travagantly wssteful, and it was alleged that
the receipts amounting to 100000 were re-
duced by unnecessary expenditures, about
seventy-fve per cent
These reports led Edward Belts, Esq,
Secretary pro. tenn. of the Delaware State
Association, to correspond with Alfred j.
Bloor, ESQ., Secretary of the Sanitary
Commission, in relation to the truth of these
declarations. We herewith give the entire
correspondence, from which it will be seen
that the report is entirely grouDdless The
following are the letters;-
April 80, 1864
ALFRED j. BLooR, ESQ.,,
Secretary U. s. Sanitary Com,
Dear Sir:-
In the absence of Bishop Lee, am direct.
ed to correspond with you upon subject
that seems to need explanation. Our people
are very energetically engaged in arranging
their part Of the great Central Fair for the
benefit of the Sanitary Commission, to be
held in Philadelphia in June next. Reports
are circulated here and in the Press of New
York and Philadelphia to the effect thai
very little OF the immense receipts from these
great Fairs land Brooklyn is especially
quoted finds its way into the Treasury OF
the Sanitary Commission, more
particularly that out Of 100000, receipt.
at the Brooklyn Fair, 100000 were con
sumed in expenses, and that but 100000
reached the intended destination. Other
rumors intimate that speculation and frauO
diverted most of this large sum from its in.
tended channel.
We cannot and do not believe these
shameful charges, and suppose these rumOrs
have been started by designing sympathisers
with the Rebellion, for the purpose Of chill
ing the patriotic liberality Of loyal people.
Shall ask you to furnish us, if possible
with an account of the amount actually pait
into your Treasury from these great fairs, o
ifyou cannot do so to put us in the way 0
getting such information.
l should have addressed Dr. Bellows onl
that supposed he had started for California
and | do not know who is the acting Presi
dent.
These reports tend very much to discourag,
our people, who argue that they had bette
contribute directly one-fourth OF what the
spent, in preference to laboring hard an
losing three-fourths of their expenditure
on its way to your Treasury.
feel sure you will feel anxious to correc
these reports, and ask your early reply.
am very truly yours,
EDWARD Belts,
Secretary pro. TEN

Eectures.-We understand that & PROPOSE,
ton is before some of our leading citizens, who
have hitherto taken an an active part in securing
Lectures for the qualification of the literary taste
ofour city, from gentleman of high standing
who has heretofore delighted us with his Lectures
to give us short course of three Lectures ct
such mos as shall be convenient to the Lectur-
err and hearers, But we regret to say that there
is hesitation Oh the part of those who have the
matter in hand. on the ground that such efforts
are not appreciated by the mass of our citizens
The announcement of Lecture from the most
talented. unless it be some lion" or ''iOness,
is too apt to be UNDECIDED and unnoticed. A
few gladly avail themselves of the opportunity
Of such an intellectual treat, but the large bale
ance that has to be made up by the few is too
apt to be burdeusome. In short, and in plain
terms, Lectures have not paid. Now this is all
wrong. We know there is intellect enough, and
appreciation of intellectual recreation, enough
in this city to at least pay all ordinary expenses
of popular Lectures, but our citizens have be-
come careless and negligent Nothing short Of
some humbug or charlatansm draw them
from their retiracy This should not be So -
There is much real and profitable enjoyment tina
we are deprived of by this oarelessness and neg
ligence
For our part we hope one more trial win be
made, before the matter is given up, and that
these Lectures proposedwill be given. We know
they are worthy the patronage and appreciation
Of the most cultivated, enlightened community
and from heir intrinsic merit would attract vast
audiences in larger and more pretending towns
than ours If they are given, as we hope they
will be- we trust our citizens will make it a pon
to turn cut en- masse. What if the store, the
counting room, the office, or the social circle
have to be lett, halls or three quarters Of an hou
sooner? The pecuniary loss if any will b,
more than made up in moral AID intellectua

better qualified to enjoy when reunited. Ant
