apprwji?UT* audience a*semb|e4 at Girardey's Opera nouse, last night, to hear the leoture of Admiral Secntae* upon ''The Cruise of the Alabama." At the hoar of 8 the oartain rote, and after ? formal introduction, tbo Ad? miral began the recitation of the story of the famous man-of-war. He rapidly ran over it, telling of its construction, by Laird, its escape from English waters to the Azores Islands, the work of shipping her battory, mustering in the orew, the ceremony of ohriBtening the ship, and the beginning of her work of destroying the enemy's pro? perty. But the lsotnre, long as it wbb, hardly touched upon the thrilling epi? sodes in the life of the ship. Muoh of the leoture was devoted to a defence of the charge that the ship was a pirate, and the Admiral read eztraotB from speeches recently made in the Senate by Republican Senators, who took the ground that she was not. The Admi? ral explained why a sailor always calls a ship "she:" First, because she al? ways looks best when freshly painted; second, because she always puts the bsst foot foremost, when she has on new sails; third, beoause she always looks well when in stays; and fourth, beoause she always brings news home from abroad. He gare an interesting account of life on board his Fessel, the duties, the discipline and the amuse mentB of officers and orew. He evi? dently rested under the impression that his audience had read his history of the oruiso, and, therefore, only made a passing illusion to his fight with and sinking of a Federal man-of-war off Galveston, his capture of the rioh Caii fornian, the "Ariel," and twenty others of the most interesting inci? dents of the two yeors' oruise of the ship.?Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. The report of the chief signal officer of the army states that eighty-four and four-tenths of the deductions pub? lished as "probabilities" in "the news? papers, during the last year, have been verified. This is an improvement on the record of the preceding year. Of the total number of cautionary signals displayed by order of the signal bu? reau, seventy-five per cent, have been ?afterwards reported as justified. In the oases of failure following the dis? plays, the winds did not attain at the plaoo of display the degree of violence anticipated. In no case has any great storms swept over the ports of the United States without pre-annonnce meul, so that the errors have all been on the safe side. Farmers' bulletins are now printed daily and displayed in frames at over U.OOO post offices, in large agricultural districts, all over tho United States. They are compiled and sent out to centres of distribution at 1 A. M., and are displayed in their frames at the average honr of 11 A- M. Biver aud canal reports are also bul? letined and published in newspapers to protect navigators and merchants from sudden and severe floods or from the effeots of a sudden closing of canal navigation by the formation of ice. The effort at Washington, whioh is engaging the attention of leading Re? publicans, to secure some legislation this session in settlement of the financial question, and looking ex? plicitly in the direction of specie pay? ments, has also the sympathy of the Republican journals of tbe country. The New York Times says that, look? ing at the matter even from the stand? point of party interest alone, there could be nothing more advantageous. The question more important than all others is tho financial one. If tho Republican party oau settle it perma? nently and promptly, snoh action will go far toward establishing tbe party in the oonfidenoe of tbe country. The despatches indicate that the measure most acceptable to Congressmen is one declaring for specie payments a day certain, and authorizing tbe Secre? tary of the Treasury to borrow money for tbe purpose. This is a simple mea? sure, and might be perfeoted to meet the whole question. But we beg to urge on Congress the faot tbnt the me? thod is by no means so important as a deoisive effort to reach the deeired end. -. John Bull, with a somewhat wry face, has finally consented to assist at the oelebration of the hundredth an? niversary of the biggest thrashing he ever had. We hope, however, that this phase of the Centennial will not be obtruded upon tbe English commis? sioners every day during the exhibi? tion, beoause it might get a little mo? notonous. What a blessed privilege it will be, to be sure, for all these poor foreigners to come aud see Brother Jonathan exult and blow his horn for six mortal months in tho diffident and soothing style for which he is so noted!
