GEN. BEAUREGARD IN LIVERPOOL

From the Liverpool Post, May 29.l
We announced yesterday that this cele-
brated engineer Of the late Confederate army
arrived in Liverpool on Saturday 10y the
royal mail steamer Scotia and that he had
taken up his quarters AT the Adelphia Hotel.
The fact becoming known that Gen. Beaure-
gard would visit Change daring yesterday,
caused crowds TO assemble on the flags about
eleven o'clock, and every person bearing the
appearance of "a distinguished stranger
was anNiously, and in one or two cases
impertinently stared at, until an assurance
was given that Gen Bcauregard would not
visit the news-roOm until about half past
twelve. At that time a dense crowd had
congrcgated on the flags and about ton min
utes 10 one the General, leaning on the arm
Of Mr.. Norton, OF the firm Of James Hewitt
& Co, entered the enclosure from Browns
building. General Beauregard was also ac-
oompanicd by several noted "Southerners,"
who was cordially received by those who
sympathized with the Southern cause as well
as by those holding opposite opinions
There is nothing very striking in the Gen.
erals appearance. lie is rather under than
over the average height, and is sparely but
firmly built He has a pleasing face, an
eye like an eagle, ard very bronzed com
plexion-indicative OF much exposure and
outdoor exercise. He was dressed very
plainly, but neatly, his headgear being a
comfortable looking white wide-awake.
After spending about ten minutes in con
yersation with his friends on the flags and in
the news-room, the General proceeded 10 the
Office of Mr.. Hewitt, in Borough buildings,
followed by large and enthusiastic crowd,
to whom he repeatedly bowed his acknowl-
Judgments. The visit of Gen. Beauregard
10 this country is connected, we understand
with the promotion Of the interest of new
line Of railway in The States of North and
South Carolina, Of which he his recently
been appointed engineer.

a. T. Stewart and William B. Astor.

The Boston Journals New York cor
respondent says of A. I. Stewart: He sell
dom looks at a subscription paper. With
him begging is at distance. He has lit
tie sympathy with yagrancy. Men and
women who seek his presence seldom gain
much By an interview if money is the OBJ
ject Indeed it is very difficult to gain
access to hin, any way. He is intensely
devoted TO his business, and works more
hours probably than any merchant in New
York. He controls his own affairs with
despot;c sway. His partners have no con
troll over the business but are interested
merely in the profits. He tuys and sells
as he p'eases without consulting any one.
But on great occasions, the donations OF
Mr.. Stewart are Princely. He proposes
now to devote millions to build houses for
the poor. If the city refuses to give the
Site he viii still carry ont MS plan.

heavy moulded, tall and stout. His eyes
which are small, with an expression Dor
derlng on stupidity, are fastened on the
visitor, aud Mr.. Astor waits his utterances
He wastes no words His answers are yes
or no, with al air that admits of no debate
All the day long, from ten to five, Mr.
Astor sits in bis office and sees all comers
He Is master Of his business. He knows
the rent Of every house, the duration OF
every lease, the times aud terms of pay
tnenr with every foot of land. At five
O'clock he rises, and with slow and slug-
gish gate lie turns into Broadway and
walks TO Lafayette place, where he resides,
for dinner.
He has two sons, John Jacob and vii
liam B, Jr, These young men are in
business with their father. No bankers in
New York attend more closely to their
calling. They are modest, retiring, and
without atfectatioa. John Jacob IS tall
large and heavily built, with sandy hail
aud complexion resembling his father. He
went to the field in 1861, and did good
service for the national cause. William B.
Jr, is tall and slim, with black hair, of a
genteel bniId, and Is said 10 resemble lis
mother.

Coon ADvICE.-Some one says "Girls,
let US tell You stubborn truth. Noyoung
woman ever looks so well to a sensible
young man, rs when dressed in plain,
neat, modest attire, without single orra-
ment about her person. She looks then as
though she possessed worth in herself and
needed no artificial rigging to enhance her
Yslue- If a young woman would spend
as much time in cultivating her mind,
training her temper, and cherishing kind
ness, meekness, mercy, and other good
qualities, as most of them do to dress and
ornaments, to increase their personal
charms, she would, at glance, be known
among thousand-her character would be
read in her countenapce."
