For great power and roundness of tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and singing quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch everything that can be desired by the most brilliant player.

An attempt had been made the night before to destroy the gas works at War rington, near Liverpool, but in both cases they were unsuccessful. The authorities in those cities are doubly watchful, and no further trouble is apprehended. Dispatches from various parts ef the kingdom report everything quiet to-day. Dispatches received from Naples mention that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is increasing in power and splendor. London, Dec. 24. At a banquet given at the Royal Polytech nic, on Saturday night last, in reply to the following sentiment from the Duke of Wellington, a felicitous telegram from the President of the United States was read amidst great enthusiasm. ' Not a little of the Interest attaching to these dispatches grows out of the rapid transmission of the messages. The following is the message of the Duke of Wellington to the President of the Uuited States : London, Dec. 21. The Duke of Welling ton, the directors and scientific guests, now at the Royal Polytechnic at London, England, send their most respectful greeting to the President of the United States, their apology being that to the discoverers of science the Intercourse between the two great nations Is Indebted. The above message was nine minutes and thirty seconds in transit from London to Washington. , The' following is the President's reply : Washington, Dec. 21, 1867. Duke of Wellington, Indon: I reciprocate the friendly salutations of the banqueting party at the Royal Polytechafc, and cordially agree with them in the senti ment that free and quick communication le twecn governments and nations Is an Import ant agent In preserving peace and a good un derstandlng throughout the world, and ad vancing all the interests of civilization. (Signed,) Andrew Johnson, The reply occupied twenty-nine minutes in actual transmission. In the counties of Croren. Jones and Le noir, North Carolina, great alarm is experienced on account of assaults committed by armed black3 on unoffending whites, and prompt measures are necessary to restore quiet and confidence. One hundred and thirty-four hands in the Ordnance Department of the Navy, or half the force, were discharged to-day. The news from the West Indies is regarded in diplomatic circles as indicating readlnesB and earnestness throughout all the Islands for an immediate annexation to the United States. Nearly all the Executive Departments were closed to-day at noon, and are not to be reopened before Thursday for business. WASHINGTON SPECIALS. MASSACHUSETTS. New York, Dec. 24.

The New England Society celebrated the anniversary of the landlns of the Pilgrims, in the customary manner, at Delmonlcos, yesterday. Speeches were made by Hcury waru Beecner, uenerais Sherman and Mck les, and others. The report of the Excise Board, which gives the statistics of the working of the board since Its organization in April, 1800, Is published. During that period lJ,im licen ces have been granted, and the gross amount received in payment thereof being ?2,5o8,858, Ul these licences 1!M were revoked. The Coroner's Jury In the case of the death of Mrs. Fall aud daugthcr, have rendered a verdict oi " Death by strychnine, admluls. tered by some person to the jury unknown." 1 he lommerclal Advertiser says : An ur rangement has been entered Into between the Adams, American, Inltod States aud Mer chants' Union Express Companies, which takes effect on tho 1st of January, 108, and Is substantially as follows: the net cam lnss of the Companies are to be consolidated, and divided as follows: Adams 20 per cent., American 2U'. : United States 18 : Merchants' Union 20" The territory or linos of the lour companies arc to be sub-ul vldcd so that each shall occupy the same In proportion to their earnings except principal points as New lork, Philadelphia liostoo, iiunalo, Cincinnati, Chicago aud bt.

The Times's special says of the claims of American creditors upon the Russian Gov ernment, that common rifles and powder were purchased by a Kusslan ordnance offi cer and put on shipboard when the Crimean war was brought to a close. 1 he property was then declined and ultimate payment refused by the Russian Government, ou the ground that a -written contract was not en tered into. The evidence thus far elicited by the Ord nance Investigating Committee includes many startling facts regarding frauds In contracts to supply the Government with arms and ammunition. The report of the committee will not be ready for several months. The Tribune special says: Several members of the Ways and Means and Finance Committees have been in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury recently, in regard to financial matters. Senators Morgan and Sherman have had a long interview with him, with a view of soliciting his views on the Sherman measure. The Secretary has not indicated his ideas on the subject fully, but. he is known to favor that portion of the scheme relative to a forelg&'loan. In regard to the four million proposition he has very grave doubts and is not at all convinced ol its advisibility at the present time. He is understood to believe that a law of that character would Interfere with the banks and cause a large withdrawal of their deposits. About Taxing; the Bonds, From conversations of different members of Congress it is Inferred that a majority of the House is in ravor ol taxing the bonds, and It may be confidently stated that a bill looking to that object will be Introduced after the holidays. The proposition meets with general approval and there Is no doubt of the passage of such a measure. Internal ltevenue Aircuu at the South. A bill will be introduced at an early day in the House providing that in future all appointments of Internal Revenue agents in the South shall be confirmed by the Senate before the nominee enters upon the duties of his office. This is to prevent, as far as possible, the appointment of unprincipled persons to such important positions, where there is so large a Held for speculation. The Internal Revenue reports show a gradual dally increase, aud the lowest esti mates for the fiscal year do not fall short of two hundred million dollars, lhustartbe receipts amount to over ninety million, and to-day were about $ 700,000. The Herald s special says: A case is pre paring to test the constitutionality of the re construction laws. It is the case of Col. McArdle, editor of a Natchez paper, who was arrested for censuring lien. Ord. Late orders received at the War Depart ment from the Head Quarters of the Fourth Military District, state that Gen. 0-1 has onlered Boards of Arbitration to be appoint ed for the protection of laborers, when asked for. A laborer who complains that his share of the crops is wrouglully withheld from him, or when called for by the landloid or mercii ant complaining under oath that the planter has fraudulently assigned to the laborer au unduo share of the crop to the injury of the complainant. (Jen. Ord also Issued mstiuc tlons for the guidance of such Boards In reaching a decision. A Washington special to the Post says: Prominent Seuators now here do not hesitate to say the Senate will disagree by a very largo majority to consent to the purcnase or the Island ot St. Thomas, benator wade opposes continuing the treaty, and is in favor of censuring the conduct of the President very severely for the actlou already taken by tho Executive branch of the Government. A Washington special to the lelcgram says: it rumored that tuo rresiucut win to day remove Gen. Pope from command of the Fourth Military District, aud assign Gen. Meade to the position. New Yokk, Dec. 24. The Herald's special Havana advices from Haytitothe 20th inst., state that an action, had taken place between the Dominicans and the Baezists(revolutlonlsts),in which General Palanlcs, of the national army, was killed. The Baezists abandoned Port Platte in consequence of this victory, and advanced their sphere of operations further into the interior. General Palanics's remains had been brought to St. Domingo city, and were interred with great pomp. Senor rrejalls still at Santiago. He was expected at Havana on Saturday. He Is to offer the lease of Samana for ninety-nine years, at an annual rent of $300,000. In the Legislative Chambers of St. Domingo, the ten-million-franc loan recently negotiated in Paris, was disapproved. The New Purchase Scary. I have it from a high source that Consul Savage received a telegram from the American Consul at Santiago de Cuba, on the strength of which he has telegraphed to Secretary Seward, advising him to defer further proceedings in relation to the 8t. Thomas purchase. Later telegrams from Santiago de Cuba state that well Informed persons there doubt the news of the defeat of Gen. Cabral's forces in St. Domingo. It is said that a pronun-clamento had been made in favor ofex-Presl-dent Baes. The new Captain-General of Cuba had given a magnificent reception to the foreign Consuls at Havana. Other receptions are to follow. OHIO STATE JOURNAL Prospectus lor 1808. TERMS OTAEIABLY O ADVANCE. MORNING EDITION.
