We have very little as yet presented,
save a very thrifty growth of State
Commissioners, who are hard at work in
aid of the general arrangement and sys-
temizing of the Exposition. You will
have already heard that our generous al-
lotment of space has mainly been sur-
rendered to the Canadians, who are rep-
resented here by able Commissioners,
well supplied both with Products and
Money. Much indignation is expressed
by Americans here at the failure of our
Government to make similar provision
for adisplay of American Products, but
there are Political reasons for this liber-
Ility on the part of the Canadians which
do not exist in our case, and Political
impediments in the framework of our
Government which have no existence in
Canada. Perhaps each has done what
was best.

advantage of it. I think they mistake
their own interest in abstaining. Such

“The project now being agitated by
the people of North Carolina, and soon

that State, is one which, we think, to
say the least ofit, will create a sensation
It is, 1st, to render legal the institution
of marriage among slaves; to preserve
sacred the relations between parents and
their young children; and 3d, to repeal
the laws prohibiting the education of
, slaves. If this modification in the laws
i is made in North Carolina, as we arcin-
formcd it probably will, other States will
l no doubt, take the matter into consider-

‘, interesting feature of the “peculiar in-

; or at least improved in theory, by nearly

the modification is well worth the seri-

Union Manufacturing Co.
We had the pleasure one day last
week of being conducted through the
buildings of the Union Manufacturing
Company of Norwalk. This Company
is established for the manufacture of
Felted Cloths, and they turn out daily,
about one thousand yards 31' finished
goods. The various processes through
which the raw wool passes are effected
by very ingenious and beautiful machin-
ery, and the goods when finished have
two material advantages over the spun
and woven cloths—they are more dfia-
ble, and about thirty percent cheaper,
yars for yard. The Company, after
struggling many years against almost un-
paralleled adversities, is now in a high-
ly prosperous condition, as the present
value of their stock plainly iudicates.—
The Company employs about two hun-
dred thousand dollars capital. Water is
used as a motive power, except in dry
tveathei-,"when a fine steam engine of
about fifty horse power is employed.
We would gladly give a description
of the processes in the manufacture of
this Felted Cloth, but our visit was too
brief and hasty for us to take any relia-
ble notes. u 1
The establishment is well worth a
visit, and we doubt not the gentlemen
connected with the Company take pleas-
ure in bestowing courtesies upon visit-
ors.—Stamjord Advocate.

Metaphozical Prairie F7Ires.——The
prairies are on fire with population.——
Fires without smoke, with no desolation
in their track. A fire of ardent hopes
and earliest purposes, trailing for miles
and miles, “away across the country ho,”
in trains of emigrant wagons and squads
of explorers. We saw the grass leap up
witlla visible impulse of glad growth
as the merry strangers passed on, and
flowers springing up with a blushing
welcome in their track.
We like the looks of the people who
are wandering over our prairies. They
have an iliquisptive, scrutinizing eye—
as if their observations were intended
to have a practical bearing. Solomon
sent for just such men when he set about
building the Great Temple. And under
their hands, we know 11 more enduring
temple than Solomon’s will rise to greet
the stars of our national banner

The Constitutional Amendments
By the Constitution of Connecticut an
amendment of‘ that instrument must be pro-
posed by a majority of‘ the House of Repre-
sentatives, at one session of the General As-
s cmbly, continued to the next session, and
published with the laws of the Session at
which it was proposed. At the next Scsslprt.
upon :1 two thirds vote of‘ both Houses, tlin
amendment is submitted to the people for
their adoption or rejection at tho nnstri 11;:
elections in the several towns in the Starr-
‘ _At the last General Assemblyfour ameni-
ments to the Constitution were proposed by -.1
majority of the IIou.=I.-. were published trill:
the laws of that session. -and continued in thr-
. tal to be fixed in some one place, instead of
two as now. The second proposes to .=t.i-Ska
the word"‘u-hire” from the Article of thn
Constitution describing the qualifications -ii
5 an elector. The third proposes to add to
those qualifications that a person to be admit-
ted an elector shall be able to read. The
fourth equalizes the representation by giving
to every town in the State but one Represen-
tative,instend of the present partial systorzl,
allowing capriciously to some towns one. ml!
to others two members of the lower Housc in
the General Assembly. If the vote of the
Senate is confirmed by the House, all tlie.-1!-.
amendments will he submitted to ‘ the people
forupproval or rejection of the next Full
elections.
We think that amendments to the Constitu-
tion unless clearly. calculated to work injury
to the State, should be submitted to the peo-
ple as a. general rule, and therefore approve
of the vote of the Senate.
_ Ar-rest.
Constable Finney arrested a brace of W01‘-
thies from Westport, who were indulging in
the enjoyments of a ride in an open back,
through our streets on Sunday evening, and
giving utterance to their ccstaciea in such
vociferutions as to Warrant their detention as
violators of our beneficient Prohibitory Law.
On being arrested one of the parties showed
light, and very soon demolished friend Fin-
ney’a coat and inexpressibles. He held on to
his two prisoners with commendable zeal, and
com mltted them to the "lock up” at the Poor
House till this Monday morning, ' when they
were arraigned before Justice Eubbell, and
one plead guilty to intoxication, and paid his
fine and costs, amounting to 326,70, and the
other to it resistance of the ofiicer and paid
his fine of $10,451, which added to the value
of a gold watch, which one claims to have
lost during the excursiolt, makes it rather ex-
pensive getting drunk in old Connecticut on
Sunday.

The George Law.
We were pleased to see this beautiful little
‘ craft again plowing the waters of our harbor,
and freely confess that our sympathies in her
favor had been strongly increased by her re-
cent misfortunes, and the unfavorable auspi-
ces which attended her first trip. But we can-
not refrain fromcxprcssing the most decided
disapprobution of her Sunday trips to and
from New York. We are utterly at a loss to
account for the influences which could have
induced such :1 man as Thomas Collyer, her
‘owner, or 3fr‘._Sh.1rv, her commander, (than
whom a. more amiable man or efficient and
gentlemanly olficer does not yvalk a deck,) to
obtrude so obnoxious an arrangement upon
the Sabbath loving people of a purltaulc New
England town, and we most sincerely hope
that so unfortunate and ill-advised an enter-
prise will at once be abandoned. We cheer-
fully signed the paper pledging support to the
Geo. Law, presented us by Capt. Shaw, and
we feel in honor bound to fulfil so far as we
may be able, the obligations thus voluntarily
assumed, provided the boat ceases to be ob-
noxious to the moral sense of‘ the community.

NEW Yonx, May 25th, 1855.
The warm weather continues ll“'l"".

the last day of'the old dispensation,
wherein drunkenness is deemed no sin.
Now, the Fathers are men of inordiziate
appetite, and consequently, of inordinate
thirst, and the new Law will touch them
in the tenderest spot of the l‘n0StSl.‘lSCC'p-
tible portion of their physical organiza-
tion. Therefore it was proposed, when
they were assembled in council, that
85,000 be extracted from the public
P0Ckel. t0 be expended partly in fire-
works for the people, and pm-[iv 3,, -«lg,
niug” for the Aldermanic stomacli, on
the great National Anniver-_=ary. One
of the Fathers suggested that more pat-
riotism would be displayed by each in.
dividual putting his hand in his own
pocket and paying for his own drinks
and fire crackers. This idea e;,-cited
great merriment from its entire novem»,
The appropriation, however, will proba-
bly be cut down to about $3,000. Some
remarks made by the Fathers in the
course of the debate, discovered to the
pnfamcm culgm, the existence of a
subterranean apartment in the City
Hall, where the chosen few are accus-
tomed to spend a large portion of their
time, consuming miiic, for -which a vast
bill has been presented to the City au.
thorltles. Bu? enough of the City Hall.
Spirits haunt it, and mysterious tippings
of tables, and smashings of crockery,
are said to be heard from its basement
rooms. In this connection, we may ap-
propriately remark that Judge Edmonds
has delivered an opinion on the Maine
Law, which irreverent persons denomi-
nate "Judge Edmonds opmion of Spir.

A Mr. Robinson has been making
himself decidedly odious to the liquor
party in this city, by going round in the
employ of the Carson League, to pur.
chase brandy and then inform against
the sellers. They don’t like zhat at all.
Sothe gentleman was set upon by a
crowd of Irish men and women, while
making his way into Court to -deliver
testimony. They were much inclined
to destroy the informer totally, but did
not succeed, and Mr. Robinson is com-
pelled to keep close to protect himself
from violence. At the same trial, a Rev.
Mr. Blackman, Secretary of the Carson
League was assaulted and would have
been severely injured, had not the liq.
uor counsel wisely interfered, to moder.
ate the rage of his clients. This was

There was this week discovered and
broken up on the Ninth Avenue, one of
the oldest and most formidable gangs of
robbers and counterfeitcrs in the coliti-
try. There were six or seven men, and
some girls of abandoned‘ character, con-
nected with this orgzmization. The
special police displayed more than their
usual modicum of ingenuity in ferreting
out the hiding places of the gang, and
followed up the pursuit with great ener-
gy. Persons not acquainted with police
operations, can have no idea of the ex-
tent and organized character of these
thievlsh combinations in this and other
cities. There are abundant materials
