Ample curtains, of a deep-toned scarlet, hung before tho three windows and the doorway. These were spoil brought away by the poet from the shoulders of smugglers of Malaga and of Seville, to whom they served as capes during the day and as beds at night. "In tho centre of the floor, covered with a great Java mat, with many colored designs, was extended the terrible sdoIIi of arrest white bear of the lev ocean, that had perhaps seen the brave and unfortunate Sir John Franklin pass by under the Arctic Pole. , And, then(1over all these beautiful thuurs. lmaeine floods of lleht poured forth from Lampsof all forms and by my riads of wax candlca, modern lamps with ara besqnes, antique candelabra, In the style of louts xm., fixed to reflecting mirrors) In the centre a lustre or uonemian glass, witn leaves of green enamel, and lotus flowers In opal with golden stems.

'" l A Shot from the night Quarter. It will be remembered In America and Eng land that eight years ago, an "Address" was sent to the women ot this country, signed by ,ha)( a million of their British sisters, Imploring 1 xaiem to use all their Influence to abolish negro slavery In this country. This remarkable docu ment, splendidly Illuminated on vellum, with all the signatures, was bound up In twenty-six folio volumes, and sent to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, to be promulgated far and wide In Amer ica; 'Among the 'ladles who first put their names to the "Address" were the wives of Lord Pslmerston, Lord'haftesbury, Lord Cowley, the Puke of Bedford, the Duke of Argyle, Earl Russell, Baron Parke, Lord Ruthvcn, Mr. Glad stone, and other well-known British celebrities. The-husbands of most of the signers to this address having1 thrown all their Influence In favor Of the South against the North, and bolstered up slavery with all thelrpowerful sup port, Jjrs. Stowe baa written "A Reply" to this "Address," which will appear In the Janu ary number or the Atlantic Monthly, .and she will lay before the ."many thousands of the wo men of Great Britain," In her forthcoming pa per, the inconsistency of their appeal. It will be a document that will stir the English heart or we are greatly mistaken 'In the trenchant power of Mn, Stowe's eloquent pen. .V. 1. Eve. roil.. Rcllcffbr tha a ueashlr.

The undersigned commenced, In the month of December, i860, the publication, tn this city, of a weekly newspaper, called the National itV pttbliean.

It will glye full reports of the proceedings of Congreas, and of the other Departments of the National Government. It contains all the news of the day, foreign and domestic, markets, Ac,, fcc, aa well as an : original correspondence from all part of the country. The miscellaneous department will receive special attention, and, In all respects, the eSbrt will be made to establish the charac ter of the National Republican as a Family Newspaper, Waahlngton being now the central point of the current military operations, great attention will be paid to furnishing the reader of the National Republican with full, and especially with accvraU, accounts of the progress of tha war for the Union. In politics, the paper ts Republican, sustain ing tho Administration of Mr. Lincoln. There Is no other Republican paper In the District of Columbia, or tn th vicinity or It, and It Is believed that recent events hare opened to such a paper an Important sphere of useful effort. The time hsa come, when the actua administration of tho Government upon Repnb llcan principles will explode the mlinpreaen tatlons which have made those principles a dlststeful to the South. But It Is not only here, and in this vicinity, that the projectors of tho National Republican hope to make It useful. To the whole country they offer a Journal which will discuss national politics from a national staud-polut, and which will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any overpowering pressure of local Interest.
