Your Majesty’s appearance among us is the first instance in which a reigning soverelgu has set foot upon the soll of tae United States, and Jt is a significant circumstance that the visit comes tO us Irom the West, and not from the East. Propabiy no single event could more strikingiy typity the century’s progress in Your Majesty’s country and in our own than the scene here and now transpiring. Tue rapid growth of the Repub- | lie on 1ts Western coast has greatly enlarged our intercourse with your insular Kingdom, and has Jed us al! to acknowledge your wisdom and bene- | ficence as a ruler and your eXalted virtues as a | man.

A paragraph 15 relation to the mileage of United States marshals and depaty marshals gave rise to @ long discussion, in the course of wiiich the De- tment of Justice was characterized by Mr. }ECK, (gem.) of Ky., a8 being “houeycombed with trauds,” The Western district of Arkansas and the Dis- trict of North Carolina were aliuded to by Mr. SPesr, (dem.) of Pa, as being “run by political thieves and vanipires and scoundrets,” On the other band the Department of Justice was de‘ended by Messrs.

A DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE. When the paragrapn for the Department of Justice was reached, Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, moved to strike it out, and renewed his attack upon that department, declaring that the Attor- ‘uey General was a more guilty man in connection qith the affairs of Loutsiana than Judge Durell Limseit, who nad resigned and contessed ils guiit. He charged that the Department of Justice had appealed from decisions of the Court of Claims in cotton cases, and had dismiased appeals w' the friends of the department were employed and had their iees arranged ; that the department bad ‘used tne army for the basest of purposes, and waa a department of injustice instead of a Department o! Justice. When the proper time came he would, if he got the epporeantty, make good what he haa said about the Attoruey General and the Depart- ment of Justice. Mr. SPEER, Of Pennsylvania, also criticised the fact that the Attorney General hau pot complied with the law, which reguired a report to pe made ol the expenditare of its contingent fund. Mr. GASFIBLD, (F@p.) O! Ohio, replied to Mesars. Beck and Speer, and critici the nse of such } ‘word pires,”’ “thieves,” “robbers” and | “ewindiers”’ im connection with a vepartment of the government, He declared, while tne Juctelary Department had not always been as economical as it ought to have been, there had been steaqy, ear- nest work done in cutting down the expenses of at department, not alone by the committees of 88, but by the department itself. 1 no yoajority in Congress had, on hi jarfeld’s) own motion, made the appropriations for contingencies definite and precise, mstead of Rpropriating, a8 the democrats had doue ip their | John Lowery, a man whose death wag the result | | of tnjuries received on Thursday by falling down | | the hatenway ot a vessel lying in one of the North | River docks.

Any new developments oi the question or any varia- tions of the oid developmeuts are sure vo attract attention. Therefore, when @ rumor floated dow2 trom Spencerport that @ certain young lady 1 | that vicinity had manifested the power to cause 4 table or @ chair to hop up and move around tue room, or to tip ite assent or dis- sent to any proposal, aud also 0 cause Some UDKDOWD power (0 rap out intelligibie abswers to proposes ques.ions, @ reporter Was ub once despatched to ascertuln Lue facie Oo!

Last evening the range of buildings adjoining | Columbia College, Forty-ninth street and Fourth | avenue, and known as the “School of Mines,” was briiantly iuminated, Evidently the groups of handsomely dressed ladies and festive looking cavaliers who thronged the enclosure of ‘old Co- lumbia’? and made their way into the new build- ings were not intent upon learning the mysteries of the silurian period or of proving the secrets of | sand formations. Suft strains oj music proceeded from the drawing rooms of the Schoo! of Mines, and the buoble of happy laughter on the stair- | cases, the merry badinage between the students aud their guests all proclaimed a festive uffair. 1t was a doubie fete 1ndeed, for the hew rooms be- ing opened was made the occasion Of @ ball and the presentation of silver prize cups to the WINNERS OF THE SARATOGA REGATTA. At eight o’ciock precisely the excelient band in attendance played @ joyous march, and to its in- spiring strains the proimenaders proceeded upon their Inspection of the new building; it seemed, however, as il they were more intent upon Mirta- won and the display oO! society graces than a@ strict eXamination of surveyors’ telescopes and the scientific parapbernaila with which the building was plentiuily supplied, At nine o’clock the “drawing room” was with the élite, and then Protessor Van Amringe stepped upon a slightly raised platiom, festooned with American flags, and made the presentation of we cups to the Columbia boys in a neat speech. Captain Reese received the gilts in a modest apd appropriate manner, and on behalf of pimself and comrades thankea the students of the college and the School Of Mives jor their consideration.s There was & good deal Of enthusiasm manifested, which, 1t Seemed, could only be quenched by dancing, and 80 tue ladies and young gentiemen present pro- | ceeded immediately to suppress their feeings in that manner. The company separated at a late hour, all agreeing a8 to the pleasure enjoyed on the occasion. ‘The cups presented, it may be mentioned, were of silver, very chaste in design, made by Tiffany & Co,, aud inscrived with the touowing legend :— “Students of Columbia College and School of Mines to ‘(here tollows Dame oO! recipient). WESTON’S GREAT WALK, Yesterday the imdomitaple Edward Payson Weston continued his pace on the track of the Rink at Newark, and with the best possible pros- pects of succeeding in nis tramp of 500 mules in six Gays. As the Close of the race approaches attend- snce Increases and greatly encourages the plucky pedesirian. Before retiring yesterday morning, at alittle aiter one o'clock, he had made his 350tn mile. As intimated in yesterday’s HgRacp, his greates? fear is that outsiders, who have bets on the race, will ipterfere. He is especially airaid that those persous who have wagered large sums against Him wiil endeavor, if they see a likelinood of his succeeding, incapacitate him in some Way, by throwipg red pepper upon the track, or otherwise. In the aiternoou he was in excellent health and spirits, and, after tiding over the 400th mile, Seemed happier than any ‘clam at bigh water.” He was contident of success. So were his attendants. It was allotteu that he shouid compfete 420 miles by midnight, so as to leave only 70 miles to be rounded to-day. The noe a yesterday was the best since Weston gan. BOILER EXPLOSION IN NEWARK. NOBODY DANGEROUSLY HURT—THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS’ WORTH OF PROPERTY DESTROYED. About four o’clock yesterday morning a boiler in the Newark Steel Works, at the foot of River street, in that city, exploded with a terrificre- — Port and with resuits of serious character, though not involving loss of life. It was a nhor- tzontal tubular boiler, ten feet long, thirty- 8x inches im diameter, and contained fifty- three two-inch tubes. At the time of the explosion, jortunately, there were in the building oply James Mansfield, the waten- man, and Thomas Lambert, the engincer, and shey Were only twenty feet from the bouer, which was literally biown to fragments. The expiosion car- Tied néarly the entire roof off the buding. One of the shingles struck Mansfield on the head, but Inghtened more than bort him. The boiler Was located in the old mill. It was bought fifteen Months ago, but was then second hand, having been in use six months. Half an hour be- fore the explosion it was examined and the tt, of steam 1ound to be forty-five ounds, The cause of the explosion cannot be de- rmined, The loss caused will reach about $3,000, and will throw fifty men out of employment jor two weeks. A third man had # narrow escape. When he heard the first noise he sprung benind the biast furnace and got out of the way, The aébris was piled up in every direction. The con- cussion was heard five or six blocks off, On Bowery street jamps were broken. boiler Seven or eignt furnaces were broken, EXTRAORDINARY IMPKISONMENTS IN JERSEY.

QUIET FACTS THAT MAY AFFECT VALUES—IN- CIDENTS ON THE STREET. There was little of fresh interest on the street yesterday, The only point of interest from @ H Stock Exchange standpoint was the meeting of | the Executive Committee of the direction in | Toledo and Wabash. Upon this meeting the stock | was successtully hammered during the day, the | rumor being that the road would pass its February dividend. Inasmuch as this company has not yet got | Into the habit of paying dividends on itscommon stock, and only does it con amore or when cir- cumstances justify such an integer on its preferred | stock, this rumor seems to be @ superfluous quan- | ty. The meeting yesterday was a protracted | one, and the very gentiemanly clerk in the ofce did not know if it was # meeting o1 the directors | or of an executive committee of such body, If | the employés of tne company are equally stupid, whether through the actiou of nature or “higher | authority,” one cannot be surprised at tne read | mot paying dividenas.

The genera} REVELATION OF A ROBBERY. OF AN EXPRESS SAFER. Easton, Pa., Dec. 18, 1874, It will be remembered that on the 10th of No- vember last one of the boldest express robberies on record was committed at Portland, @ small sta tion on the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad, @ few miles above this city, The express car was entered at that place, during the absence of the messenger, and the safe, containing several thou- sand dollars, thrown out, The property was pot missed until the train had left the station, and news of the robbery was telegraphed irom Man- unka Chunk, the next stopping place. OMcers were at once set to work looking up the case. Clark, the messenger, said that he got his supper ‘at Portland, and the safe was in the car when the train started, as he had placed @ packace on it. Tuis package being subsequently found at Port- land ima ditch along the track proved his story to be untrue, and he was discharged and a watch placed on his movements, The safe was found to be broken open and most of its contents ab- stracted, ‘ A lew days afterward the fireman Of the train, named George Leonard, was arrested on suspi- cion of knowing something of the robbery. In- sumMicient evidence being found against him he was discharged, Certain circumstances con- nected witu the affair satisfied the detectives that he was guilty, and they kept an eye on the fire- man and proceedings. 4 LADY IN THE O4SB. They learned that he was paying attention toa young ay named Hattie Henry, at Hampton Junction, and a Watch was set over ner, It 2, being probable that if Leonard had shared in the proceeds of the robbery she would be apt to give some sign that would lead to the crime Deing las- tened on him, The officer who was detatled to ‘‘shadow” Miss Heury soon made the discovery that she had in her possession considerable money, much more than her ordinary circumstances would allow. 1t was ascertained also that ste had received several presents of valuabie jewelry from her lover. Being satistied that these were proceeds of the robbery the oMcer decided last weck to callupon Miss Henry. He told her of his suspl- clons and requested her to deliver up what money Leonard haa given her aod save herself trouble. She did notdeny having money, but reiused to | give itup. Search was accordingly made and in a stooning: hidden in her room was found $740. Miss Henry then said that she had received $1,040 from peeved but he nad drawn $200 or $200 of the amoun' LEONARD'S CRONIES, Leonard having certain iriends and cronies at Peckville, Luzerne county, the officer pursued his investigations there. In the possession of one of Leonard’s acquaintances he found $300. The man sald that Leonard had depvusited it with him some time before jor safe Keeping. Needing no further proo! of Leonard’s guilt, the officer proceeaed to Want him up and arrest bim. He was not found fortwo or three days, but in the early part Oi this week was traced to Scran- tou and arrested, On Monday morning he was brought down the roaq and lodged in jail at Belvi- dere, N. J. He has since made a full confession of the crime. He implicates the messenger, Clark, in | the robbery, and the latter was yesterday placed | under arrest. Leonard yesterday told the Sheriff of Warren county that the balance oi the money taken from the sale was concealed in the edge of a piece of woods near Belvidere. He said he was willing to go with the officers and show them the spot. | cordingly, accompanied by «nother officer, the Sheriff took Leonard to the locality mentioned by him. Turning a large flat stone and digging away some dead leaves the prisoner took out three packages, which were found to contain $3,500, ‘Yo add to the sensation created along the line | of the road by Leonard’s arrest, be was married, | just previous to his being taken into custody, to a | Young lady from Binghamton named Rosa Cole- man. She went all tne way from that city to Scranton to be anited toa man who a few mo- ments later arrested on a grave charge, which he stands guilty of by his own contession. impression seems to be that Clark, the messenger, is innocent of any complicity in the ‘robbery, although there seems to be a mystery | surrounding him which he cannot satisfactorily clear up.
