tioneer, will offer at public sale on the
evenings of the 4th and 5tn of March, at the
Art Gallery, No. 1920 Chestnut street, one of the
finest and most beautiful collections of paint
ings yet offered to the public. The collection
comprises the works of the most noted of
European and American artists, and has been
collected with great care by the owner, j. p.
Beaumont, ESQ. The collection embraces one
hundred and fifty fine works, of every variety,
exhibiting in each specimen the highest order
of artistic merit. We have before referred to
some OF the prominent pieces In the collection
as being miracles of beauty in the great art of
painting. "Fruit and Glass of Champagne"
by of the most celebrated, If not the greatest
of living European artists, is wonderful pro-
duction OF the brush, and though small in size,
yet in costliness, in the skill displayed in its
composition, and in its elegant beauty, it sur
passes all others of It's class to be found in this
country. There is, too, exhibited an old work.

creditable to the management and their CO.

mainly to be ascribed to the forfeiture of its

popular. In fact, IL has done much to bring

PROSPECTS OF THE DRY GooDs TRADE FOR THE
ENSUING SPRING-BUsINEss IN THE SoUTH
GETTING BRIGHTER-There has been q good
deal Of speculation, and not a little misgfving,
in regard to the prospects of our manufacturers
and wholesale men In relation to the incoming
spring trade. IL was pretty generally conceded,
as tOregone conclusion, that IL would be dull
and fiat. But. fortunately, the ill-omened Cas-
Bandras have a fair chance of coming ont
wrong in their calculations, and our leading
houses are anticipating pretty brisk demand
when the trade fairly opens The chief fears
have been in relation TO the Southern custom.
In former years the Southern merchants were
accustomed to the long-credit system. Six and
eight months was not an unusual credit and 1t
chant would come up and buy large stock of
goods, and would date from the lst of March
for his spring purchases, and from the lst OF
September for his fall. But now the net cash
system has been introduced, and will be rigidly
adhered to in all dealings. The consequences is,
that there is less recklessness In the purchase
of goods, and more care in the selection. The
good effects of this system are at once seen in the
greater security to all parties, both sellers and
There seems to be n general determination
amongst manufacturers to curtail their ex-
penses and to reduce the number of hands
rather than reduce the wages of their opera
tives. In consequence of this mode of action,
the quantity OF manufactured goods will be
lessened, and 1t will have the effect of stiffening
up prices. Some of the mills have ceased opera
tions entirely, but the great majority have re-
solved TO go on as above. Very few, II any,
Will turn out as much as was manufactured last
year. In some grades Of goods, and especially
in the cotton and woollen mixed, there will be
a dead loss to the manufacturers, and they are
going into the market at less than the cost price,
When the Government tax of per cent. is
added. IL may very easily be seen what the effect
will be.
Our wholesale commission men, as a general
thing have laid in n good supply of goods, in
the expectation of a brisk demand The jobbers
and retailers are running with very short sup
plies, in the prospect of a still further fall in
prices. But in spite of all drawbacks IL is almost
certain that there will be a lively and brisk
trade in dress goods and staples, both with the
West and South. Already the indications are
that the Southern trade, particularly from the
middle and southwestern sections will be
nearly as large as in former seasons. The mer-
chants from the West and Northwest will soon
come in, and our city will then exhibit busy
aspect

noon and was by him held in $500 bail to ap-

The cause of Annie's wrath, under the influence
of which she was led to commit this petty depre-
