Our Jerusalem Correspondence, JeRvSALEM, Nov. 28, 1858. Arrival of the Wabash at Beyrout—Beneficial Effect of its Presence on the Avabs—Uospitalities of the American Officers—A Visit to Tripoli—Description of a Syrian Bell—Our Correspondent in a Rhapsody—Joffa—Story of Perseus and Andromeda—The Plain of Sharon, &c. A glorious sight was that which greeted my eyes a fow mornings since from the porch of “Belle Vue Hotel” — the Stars and Stripes fluttering in the wind over the noble steam frigate Wabash, as she rounded Ras Beyrout, and dropped anchor in the roadstead of that beautiful city. It gave me feelings of peculiar delight to sce here, in this distant Orient, one of our finest armed vessels, with the ‘American flag floating independently among crowns, crosses and crescents, high above the craft in the harbor, the largor part of which were the Levantine feluccas and smail Turkish steam and sailing vessels, confining the utmost range of their vautical daring to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, and but seldom venturing out of sight of land, An American man-of-war had long Deen expected, and the effectof this visit will be most bene- ficial to American interests in ihis part of the world—par- ticularly so, when it is known amongst the peopie gene- raily that our government is ready to avenge the wrongs committed on American citizens, and to look after their interests, as well as the interests of humanity, even in these ends of the world. It is supposed that the immo- diate cause of this visit was the Jaffa outrage, the perpe- trators of which, as well as their accomplices, are now quaking for fear, justly concluding that their hour of punishment is fast approaching. It needs only the pre- sence of an armed vessel of war to strike terror amonget the Arabs, and to support our Consular representatives in he protection of American citizens, by an occasional visit ‘to these coasts. The guccessful management of this long pending attair of Jaffa by our worthy Consul at Beyrout, Jeaves but little to be done, except the execution of the five criminals who were discovered a short time since, through the perseverance, zeal and energy of our Con- sular representatives at that place. The decks of the Wabash wero constantly thronged by visiters from all sections of the country—many of the Emirs of Lebanon, and Sheiks of Arab tribes, coming from a great distance to see this wonder in their eyce, which they call a “float- ing oity.’” e The deafening report of the cannon caused no hittle alarm at firet, destroying, it is said, the glasses of the windows bordering the harbor, which had never before felt the noisy breath sent out by the little cannon of the city. All who visited the vessel were treated with the utmost courtesy and kindness, especially the ladies of the place, many of whom had never before scen the interior of aship. The devotion of the naval officer to the fair sex has all the gencrosity which characterized the highest noontide of chivalry, and which in this day and country is almost unknown. But few positions involve a more perplexing reeponsibility, or demand a higher combinn- tion of rare talent, than that of commander of a ficet. Flag officer Lavailette, Captain Baron, and the officers of the vessel, {fill their positions with the greatest honor to our couutry, and the benefit already. felt from their visit to these shores is iucalcula- Diy great. At the kind invitation of the Flag Officer, it was my privilege to visit Tripoli, fifty miles north of this place, and thence Jaffa, which afforded me a long coveted privilege to examine the workings of ‘fg man-of-war, where it would seem as though the priaci- ples of perpetual motion had found a favorite iodgement ‘at last in every part and particle of this vast floating fabric, There is not a spar, plank nor rope which docs not appear to have caught the spirit of motion. Such Perfect order and regntarity can nowhere else be seen as ‘on a vessel-of-war properly managed. Tripoli, ‘Tripoli, or Tavaboios, is some fifty miles north of Beyrout, and is situated at the base of a hill facing the sea—the highest peak of Lebanon being immediately be- hind the town, and the ancient cedars within a day’s ride from this place. The situation and appearance of the sur- rounding country has something in it 80 extravagant and 0 peculiar to itself, that it can never fail to contribute a mixture of melancholy and delight to all who visit it. ‘The metlley of sweet sounds from birds, in the rich, luxu- riant gardens bordering the wide avenue leading from the port or mena to the town proper, cascades and water-falis, Tuined Saracenic fountains, the roaring of the sea, and the composed solemnity of the whole place, remind one of those beautiful spots pictured by classical writers for the retreats of their naiads aod divinities. The most beautiful lady of Syria is sequestered in this picturesque town, which has still some retics of the Cru- eaders—the castie of Raymond of Toulouse, close to which, suspended from a causeway, is an immenso chain, cut ont of the solid rock. Through tho kindness of our Vice Consul and his excellent lady, we were favored with ‘fan introduction to this beauty, who, with our excelleat missionaries and their ladies, accepted an invitation to visit the big guns of tho American man of-war. She eeemed to be about eightecn years of age (ladies’ ages aro always uncertain, however), with a round, ripe cheek, of delicate carnation, at frst shaded by a veil, whose snowy whiteness blushed back the carnation of her cheek, whose color in this part of the world is natural; a placid, hea- venly countenance, brunette complexion; eyes very black and as mild as those of the gazelle, shaded with thick silken lashes, and at times parkling brightness; her Dead covered with gold and jewels, a neck of smooth and graceful — her stature rather low, though her form i ‘was slight and symmetrical; her arms, which were gracefully ornamented with golden armlets, wore thor of Avrora, and ber smile, when she cast her Parthian ar- rows, was more bewitching than that of Hebe; and a hand’on whose tapering fingers glittered the jewelled to- kens of love and friendship—the tout ‘was pe- cullarly strikipg and native. She was crowned with a wreath of orange flowers, which contrasted beautifully with the jet lack, tresses of her bmir, floating behind in jlorsy braids. Her drese was of beautifal white satin, am neck, whose apery hints’? you might admire freo ly, tipped with gold fringo, with short siceves.

THE DEPUTATION AT THE CAPITAL—INTERVIEW WITiL HIS BXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE, ENC., BTC. On Tuesday evening, the 18th inst., the deputation from the new Highland Regiment of the city of New York ar- rived at the capital. The interest which has been excited in military circles, both in the city of New York and throughout the interior of the State—entering, even, largely into the discugsions of the Military Convention which, by a singuiar convergence of circumstances, has been held at the same time—confers a degree of import- ance on this movement it could not otnerwise have possested. The deputation consisted of Acting Command- ant Thos. W. McLeay, Captain William Manson, Captain John Mason and Lieutenant Stewart. On reaching the capital te above gentlemen placed their letters of intro- ,tion and commendation, pro forma, in the hands of tho | Governor. An interview with the Adjutant General was suggested, preliminary to a conference with his Excel- lency, Having seen the Adjutant General, on Wednesday morning, and pregented him letters from Major General Sandford and Brigadier General Ewen, a conversation ensued on the object of their visit; after which, and an exchange of courtesies, the gentlemen of the deputation proceeded to the Executive chamber, with the hope of obtaining a satisfactory result for their arduous efforts in orgavizing a full regimental corps of their fellow citizens, ‘The Governor having invited the deputation to be seated, Acting Commandant McLeay stated that they (the mem- bers of the deputation) had just left the Adjutant General, with whom they had the honor of an interview. Captain Mason would state the conversation which bad taken place. Captain Mason said that after General Town- send had pervuged the letters placed in his hands, bearing the signatures of two goneral officers, he stated that he was opposed to the new regiment, unless uniformed under the new regulations. If it was to be ad- mitted with the Scottish uniform, he would not oppose it; on the contrary, he would have no objection to its admis- sion by a special ect. Such, your Excellency, would, how- ever, involve cost, time’ and inconvenienée, that, a8 tradesmen and mechanics, we would not feel justified in incurring. But, your Excellency, the admission of our regiment into the First division by auch means recognises that the military efficiency of the First division would not be affected in any manner, otherwise than by the ad- vantageous strength of our humbers. The exercise of Executive favor iu granting permission for the new or- ganization is in a high degree relieved from impediment ‘by this circumstance. The General also observed, that if your consent was given tothe organization of our corps, we would be subject to @ most rigorous inspection. To this, your Excellency, I replied that we, officers and men, were prepared for the most rigid inspection which might be appointed, or performance of duty which the State might impose. May I now, your Excellency, be permitted to offer a few observations on our position—important, I assure you, to our feelings as men and citizens. The Governor observed with much frankness—I shall ‘be glad to hear you. Capt. Mason—I thank your Excellency. My brother officers, equally with myself, have reflected seriously upon the object of our present mission. As citizens of Scottish origin or adoption we were aware of the obstacles which stood in our way. No class of citizens in this commonwealth can regard with higher appreciation the importance of sound and effective discipline. Our education, habits and historical agsociations incul- cate the most Severe principles of discipline in all our re lations of life. Whatever contributes to this result cannot, therefore, fail to meet our warm and earnest concurrence. We bave undertaken at great personal cost to organise an efficient regiment of our fellow citizens. Strenghtened by the authority and opinion of commanding officers of high standing and experience—as well as by our own Judg- ment—a regimental uniform is evidently all that is re- quired for the most effective military discipline, or capa- oy im action, he GoVERNOR—That appears very reasonable—Go on. Capt. Mason—We also believe that men have hearts, and that aj) judicious and comprehensive military regula- tions should’ carefully respect the feelings of the people whose voluntary services are necessary tw the security of a,free State. nimated with the characteristic qualities peculiar to the land of our birth, we are, from every ovli- gation of citizenship, Americans in heart, in love of liberty, and ip ambition toserve the republic. Whether in the repression of tumuit or the defence of the country—no matter from whence the assault—we are prepared to dis- charge our duty. Your Excellency will, therotore, I trust, regard our application to equip in a uniform adapted to our tastes, and in some manner consulting our self. ct, a8 a means to strengthen the military force of the First division, and to enable us to participate in the improved disciplinary regulations, ratber than from any desire to impede the execution of their more salutary provisions. The Governox—Well, gentiomen, I will see the Adjutant Genera! in the course of a short time, and consult with him on the subject. I feel much gratifed with your visit, and I am aware, gentlemen, it is a matter of much public interest. Cal! upon me at three o'clock this afternoon, ‘At the hour appointed (three o’clock P. M.) bis Excel- lency the Governor, the Adjutant General (Townsend and the deputation, met in the Executive Chamber. long and warm debate took place. Between the Adjutant General and the deputation there was (we learn) no ab- sence of candid talking on either side. Neither seemed afraid to break a lance with the other. Ex. cellency acted throughout with the greatest courtesy and frankness, and was evidently wishful to consult the feel- ings 80 emphatically expreseed by the members of the deputation, At the close of the conference an arrange- ment was, however, agreed to, sufficient to proceed with the preliminary organization of the Highland Regiment, ‘Acting’ Commandant McLeay and Capt. Mason waited upon the Adjutant General on Thursday morning, to ar- range definitely the manner in which they could proceed to organise the new corps, and to receive the authority and instructions of the Commander-in-Chief to direct their exertions. These gentlemen, we belicve, have fully dis- charged their duty, and returned to this city. The circumstance of the Military Convention assembled at the capital on the 18th passing over the resolution re- ported (by committee) against this new corps manifested ‘a change of sentiment most creditable to it as a military body. How far the influence or presence of the deputa- tion tended to induce this course of action, we do not know. The conduct of the deputation has,’ however, so far as we can learn, been marked throughout with ‘the greatest energy and digcretion. It is stated that in a few Gays the regiment will be convened, and a full report pre- sented by the Acting Commandant. Obituary.

MEETING OF THE ALDERMANIG COMMITTEE ON STARETS—ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST REMOVING THE TELEGRAPM POLRS FROM THB STREETS—THE POLES COMPLAINED OF A$ A NUISANCE—THEL iti MOVAL ARGUED AGAINST, ON TIE GROUNDS OF THE IMPRACTICABILITY OF LAYING THEM UNDER GROUND—ANOTHER MEETING TO BE HELD, ETC. The Aldermanic Committee on Streets met yesterday afternoon, Alderman Boole in the chair. ‘The CuArkman announced that the committee was ready to hear parties interested in the removal of the telegraph poles from the streets, and placing the wiregunder ground, Jaxes T. Ouver, of No, 62 Amity street, said that he represented property in that street, and desired that the poles should be removed. His house is surrounded by no fewer than twenty-two wires, which are a great nuisance. At the time the company was engaged in put- ting up the wires he opposed them. They are always tull of boys” kites and other unsightly things, which get en- tangled in them, and dangle continually from them, the wind sometimes blowing them against the windows, so close are the wires to the house. He spoke w the com- pany some time ago abont the matter, and they informed him that they would look after it; but hehas heard nothing since from them, and the wires and poles are just as they were previously, The business of the telegraphic compa nies is a private businces, aud he could not see any rea son why the public, who pay taxes, should be inconve nienced by them, and algo their property, in the manne they are at preeent. ‘The Cuanmax—The resolution before the committee i in regard to removing the telegraph poles, and having the wires placed under ground. air. OLIVER—I proposed that to the company, and they told mie they bad that under consideration at the time. understood that application was made some time after- wards to the Common.Council to permit them to lay the wires vader the ground. I cannot sce any reason why the wires could not as well be under the ground as above it, as the water pipes and gas pipes are, C. Roriwsoy, Superintendent of the New York Fire and Police telegraphic lines said:—The Pre- sidents of the New Orleaps, Washington and other telegraphic lines throughout the country, and others con- nected with various telegraphic companies, were in the city on Wednesday tast, expecting to be present at your meeting. As there was no meeting on thatday, they directed me to inform you of the fact, and adjourn your meeting till the middle of next week, when they can have tume to re2eive notice and come w& the city. ld this matter of removing the poles be carried out, it will drive all the offices of the telegraph companies from the city, ‘and they will be removed to Harlem, Jersey City and other small places in the locality of it. When this is done the citizens will have to pay extra for the telegraphic des- patches that they will receive; and once that ing to operate you will soon hear a clamor in favor of having the poles back again as they are now. I may say from experience that it is impracticable to lay the wires under ground, and I have yet to gee a telegraph man who be- lieves it to be a practicable scheme. John H. Purdy, of Philadelphia, who is connected with the telegraphic busi- ness in this country, was last year in London, and as he was passing through a strect he noticed great confusion. On coming near and finding the cause, he saw that itwas a gas pipe which had been fired by a flash of electricity from asubterranean telegraph wire; and when he passed it he soon afterwards witnessed a similar and equally dangerous explosion on London Bridge, which was produced in the same way. The origin of this was lightning striking the wires during a thunder storm. I donot care how much money you may spend in putting down iron pipes to a1 close thewires—they cannot be made perfectly tight. If any of tie encasements are affected, no repairs can be made till every one of them is taken up. Alderman Booz—How could the Atlantic cable be so well encased if a few miles of subterranean telegraph cannot be managed? Mr. C. Rontyson—That is a great argament. (Laughter.) ‘What condition is that cable in now? Alderman Apams—There are other cables under water, the one across the British Channel, and the Newfoundland telegraph, for instance, that work well. The Atlantic cable worked, t00, and it may now be stopped from some cause different from those that would interfere with lines through the streets, Mr. Romison—If the poles are removed there will be great delays in delivering messages when the offices are out of the city. There are at present delays enough of this nature, and instead of increasing 4 they should, i think, be diminished, for -the benefit of ‘the public, as much as’ possible, I admit that the poles and wires are objectionable in some Instances, and particularly in Amity street; but this might be remedied by having the wires more equally distributed through the streets. Mr. Urivgr—There are no poles before the doors of any of the gentlemen engaged in the telegraphic business; they take good care that they shall suffer no annoyance. Alderman Brapy, who is not a member of the commit- \tee, but who introduced the resolution to the Board of Aldermen, took occasion to say:—I believe the telegraph poles and wires are a great nuisance, and all the people where I live complain of them. I cannot see why the wires would not work under ground. I do not wish to in- jure the telegraphic companies by the passage of any re- solution, but he was astonished when he heard Mr. Field, who was 0 recently engaged in laying the Atlantic Tele: graph, say that it was impossible to have the wires work well under ground, as he did at the last meeting of the committee, I think they might work in sewers. If they work well under the beds of rivers,as they do now, I would like to hear a why they could not bo made to work just as well in sewers. I think if the Common Council gave the companies permission to lay the wires under ground through the streets, they should have no objection to spend a few dollars extra to suit the public. C, Ronmnsox—In Boston, Philadelphia, and all the towns and villages of the Union, the example of New York will be followed, and the offices of the telegraph companies will have to be removed outside their limits. 1 would re- peat the argument of Mr. Field on the last day, in regard to the line to Brooklyn, which is not paying at present. This line will have to cease operations altogether if any further restrictions are put on it; and so would many other lines throughout the country. Mr. Mckeasos—« stockholder in the Union Telegraph Company—arose to reply to a question from Alderman Brady, which was—“ Why won’t the telegraph work under ground?” He said, It is morally impossible, on ac- count of the gutta percha in which the wire would have to be enclosed Feing ‘80 destructible in its nature. Alderman Brapy—Why does not that destroy the sub- marine lines across the Hudson and elsewhere? Mr. McKisson—Because, if anything gets wrong with the line across the Hudson, they can get a boat and adjust it with very little trouble. This could never be done in the city of New York. See what it would be to take up a strect like Third avenue, for instance, to fix the wire whe ever anything went wrong With it. The difficulty of insi lation would prevent the lines from working under ground. CuarmmMaN—How? That’s what we want to come at—a reason why they would not work—and then we would be- gin to take another view of the matter. ‘Mr. McKisson—I have been over twenty years engaged in the telegraph businees, and yet I do not know enough about it to fully explain the reason why it would not work. Cuaimman—Yes; but if it will not work under ground? And you know that you surely can give us some reason why it would not. Why won't it? Mr. McKissox—Well, because it will not, and it can’t be made, (Laughter.) ‘The gutta percha is an article used as much to insulate the wire as to preserve it against the influences of air and water. It expands in cold and con- tracts in warm weather, unlike most other substances in this respect, and the changes of the atmosphere crack it. When it is cracked the water and air get in, and the mo- ment this occurs the insulation passes from the wire to the water and it will not work any longer. Iron pipes will not answer for encasements, even if they could be made tight; for whenever the wire contracts it touches against the sides of the encasement, and the insulation of the wire is instantiy atan end. We are all willing to have the wires under the Ea if it were possible; but if it were done, tbe first thunderstorm would disarrange the whole arrangement. It would cost the city a million of dollars—wouldn’t it, Robinson? C. Roninson—Not altogether so much, I think. (Laughter) ‘Alderman Brapy—Why would not the sewer do? Mr. Mct{is:on—Because it would cost too much, and lines which are not now paying would then have to be discontinued. Alderman Brapy—It is very well to talk about not pay ing, but if the lines were not paying they would not be worked by the various companies as they now are. Mr. McKisson—Well, to enlighten you a little on that point, I will tell you that the Boston and New York line, which cost from $300,000 to $400,000 when it was made, ig not worth more than $200,000 to-day, and many other Ines are just in the same condition. Alderman Brapy—I know these wires to be a groat nuisance myself, and they have often got entangled about my legs and cut them as I was passing through the streets. L have also known them to cut the faces of drivers and others passing through the public thoroughfares, who would not see them till it would be too late to remedy or avoid the danger, and they might be cut and blinded, They prevent firemen from discharging their duties at fires for their ladders, inatead of coming against the side of a house, come bang up against these wires, and become 80 entangled that much time is lost and danger incurred. 1 ‘think it is the duty of the Common Council to decide what is best for the public good in the premises, without taking into account the private interests of telegraph companies. Mr. MoKisson—You should remember that if this has to be carried out it will cost the city a large amountof money ‘to have the lines to the police stations and other oflices. CHAIKMAN—That is a city matter. We will now adjourn till next Wednesday, when we expect both parties to have their forces fully marshalled, as we intend giving ail an opportunity of being heard. What we want to know and ascertain 18, whether or not it is possible to have the tole- graph wires through the streets underground, and the ex- pediency of having them placed there. a eentnes then adjourned the subject till the time specified.

Tenrmc Exriosion.—About half past ten o'clock on Friday evening one of three steam boilers in the Excelsior Steam Sugar Refinery of Roberts & Willams, on First street, near Eouth Second, exploded with tremendous force, and was propelled inte’the river a distance of about one hundred feet. The boiler was the centre one of the three, was five feet in diameter, and thirty feet long, Duilt three years ago after the Cornish pattern. A few ago it was examined and reset, and found to perfect. The steam gauge at the time of the explo- sion showed a pressure of twenty-two @ boiler being capable of forty-five pounds pressure. In its couree it tore out the back part of the engine room and upset some dozen barrels of sugar on the dock. None of the boiler is above water—hence the true cause of the difficulty is not known. It is supposed, however, that, owing to the resetting a La oad draft was had, and steam ‘was made faster than usnal; also, that the connection valves were out of order, preventing @ correct indication of steam by the gauge. Had the explosion taken place in the day time it would undoubtedly have been attended ye ee, hee of life. As inves, ee fare wii ured, althoog re were three in the building ime.

No, 18.—The exercises attending the closing of the evening school in Remsen street, on Friday evening, Were unusually interesting, und, notwithstand- ing the unpropitious state of the weather, the building wascrowded. The boys delivered 4 few well setectet recitations admirably, and the compositions of some of the youths evinced more than ordinary intelligence, pro: ficiency and diligence in acquiring knowledge uader such disadvantageous circumstances. Mr. Bush, the principa', who is a great favorite with the boys, was presented with an appropriate token of their respect for him, in the shape of handsome books, which was as unexpected as it was deserved. City Superintendent Bulkley and otuer geutle- men made brief addreeses, complimenting the priucipals and their assistants on the success which had atvended their efforts. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarurpay, Jan, 29—6 P. M. ‘The stock market continues to be dull and heavy, in spite of the efforts of the leading operator to rally it by bold bids and large purchases. Many of the banks are preparing to call in their four per cent loans, which natu- rally causes some fluttering among the few followers of the leading bull, and fear predisposes them to sell. Many bona fide holders of stocks are also unwilling to face the gloomy prospects of the financial world with stocks on hand, which apy catastrophe or war would eeriously de- preciate, The decline in Missouris to-day was equal to 3s @ 3 percent. New York Central was sustained by the Jeading bull, but it closed 34 lower than yesterday, and ‘was more plentiful than usual. The Western s suffered \ess in proportion than other descriptiohs. Pacific Mafl was very heavy, and declined 3 per cent during the day. No one knows what is the matter with this stock, and it is supposed that the Commodore is meditating some mischief. The closing prices were—Missouris, 859¢ & 34; New York Central, 84 a 34; Reading, 4014 a 24; Michi- gan Central, 605 a 34; Southern guaranteed, 453¢ a 46; Panama, 116 a %; Illinois Central, 6634 a {; Rock Island, 59% a %; Galena, 68% a 69.
