On Saturday morning the court met at nine o'clock, and udg re water immediately proceeded to call tbe reproach upon many brave and aoble firemen and it baa introduced tbe proposition of creating a paid lire department, ia which every maa will be liabi to be discharged for disobedience. In this case th relator aot enty refnaed to obey or-flera, bnt threatened personal violence to the Chief Engineer, and wben arrested assisted other la effecting a rescue.

The will directed that th lands shonld be kept in ceuetant operation, and should be rented out te good tenant from year to year, by leaaee not excepting five years. The petition sst forth that tbe will wa executed before th purchase of these lands, which patwed under a codicil, and at tbe time of tbe testator death, December, 1831, they wer undeveloped and unproductive. Moreover, tb term of tbe last tenants has expired, and they to tnke them fer a term so short aa five years; it is impossible to find these who will take them for that period, and to let them lie unused does great injury to tbe charity; therefor the advice of tbe court was prayed. The matter waa referred to Messrs. George de B.

An advertise from yon what yon say will read by a grsat mass of th people. i i Mr. Seward-Thea the peopl will have to wait, and when I say anything, if 1 have anything to say, they will have a chance to know what it if. This diplomatic exchange of attacks snd parries, showing no signs of taking a turn in the right direction, was necessarily directed into another channel.

Although tbe Secretary was quite willing to talk tb eonversalioa was of precisely such character as yea might expect to hear between tbe representatives of two rival governments a great deal of tulk and yet nothing said. The nearest approximation or the point wa whether he would support Grant or Seymour. To this he remarked "I do not know how yon eonld ask uch a question. I don't think I eonld very consistently support Seymour." Bnt further was said, and whether he will support Grant remain a a mystery, as far as the Secretary's owu words ar concerned. It is understood frern several parties who are on intimate terms with Mr.

Seward, tbat he is for Orint, and one says he contemplates making six speeches ia the interest of the Republican party. Judging fium the drift and manner of ins conversation, it would seem that he intends saying something, whether it be one or six speeches, and, as lie cannot very copsist-ently snpnort Seymour, tbe inference is that he will advocate ltepn or talk aud sav nothing, and leave these who are looking for a speech to stand just where they are to-day, and judge for themselves 03 which line they propose to fight it out. Mr. Seward iu apparently hisrhlv delighted with the success of the new relations of Chin to the United States, and speaks of the treaty aa tbe opening of an era promising great results to China and tbe world at large.

"Tne eamo sun that shines npon rnn in twelve hours shines upon us the same heat that warms yon warms us; the same feelings of devotion to your country and your ruiera is the impulse which moved us in your corning here from the oldest nation in the world hearing the new spirit of progress and opening to the West fresh avenues of trade and jouing in the international bond of peace and friendship with either natioas, ereet yon a a people having the youngest national existence, yet ready to extend the hand of fraternity across the broad waters of the Pacirlc and co-operate in bringing to life the ancient civilization of the East and fusing into it the spirit of advancement and modem improvements in mechanical as well as intellectual enterprise."

Certainly no gratification Is more pleading than ibal which springs from a realization of those social Dleaeures wnich are th resu either of eminence in the walks of public aervice, or personal worth in tbe more limited apfcere of domestic life. These are the rewards wbich attend those who merit them, and give their relations witn mankind a cast wbich it is genuine happiness te contemplate and enjoy. The visit of the Chinese to tbis hospitable city wa characterised by a unanimity wkicb was aa flattering to th ateem ia wnicb tne Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, ia held by hi fellow citizen, aa it was gratifying to the Embassy. It i not surprising that bis home visits ar looked forward to by th Secretary with so much pleasure, and enjoyed with so much genuine interest.

Tbe private lile of tbe Secretary is directly the oppoaite of the forma so rigidly observed by him in hi official life at the national capital. There it is only throngU tbe forms of etiquette, to which, a is well known, he so closely adheres, that be ia at all accessible. Here tbe humblest citirsu feel it his duty to pay him lb courtesy of a visit, aad is received in the same spirit in which the visit is given. The Secretary has endeared himself to tbe laboring classes of bis city by dividing off a large portion of hi unoccupied estate into lota and advancing money to the mechanic to assist hiui in building a home, allowing ten year in wbich to pay off th amount. Tbi generou enterprise, besides attaching about the Secretary an almost universal popularity at home, bas aiao been of grsat benefit to the town.

I a view of tbi relation to th people the Secretary, aa might be supposed, i looked np specially as tue oracle uf this vicinity, and npon the approach of any great election be is expected to say somstbing about the important political qaestiena befere tne couutry. This ha beau bis regular practice for years, to that now the people ia this section anticipate these elucidation' of the topic of national discussion relating to governmental administration, finances, or aocial questions. This being tbe case, Mr. Seward is hardly say more outspoken regarding politics to hi moat iutiinate friends than he is ready to communicate hi knowledge of diplomatic eerets. Upon any other subject the visitor to his home her find bim unusually communicative, displaying in hi conversation a vein ef intended humor.

For a month past, both at Washington and here, the Secretary has been receiving a great many letters de-signed to out of him aom expression of his view, or, at least, to be informed whether he proposes to adhere to his usual rule and make any speeches. But to these he ha iavariably returned no answer. After a brief and exceedingly intereating conversation your correspondent took opportunity to make a move upon the Secretary. Citizen-I think, Mr. Secretary, tb coming political campaign will not be aa exciting ae anticipated.

The Secretary, giving a ort of convuisiv motUn to his entire body, looked np and remarked is something I caa say nothing about. It will be necessary to let time develop whether tbe campaign will be exciting or not. Ciiizen-Tbat Is very tru hut it is quit natural to look ahead and anticipate matters. Tn Secretary Then yon ought to know more shout that than 1 de, a you iuve more extensive means of finding out the feeling in the country, and perhaps vou might give me some iuforniatiou on tbat subject. 1 Citizen Well.
