the permission for which they lxaVe 3P‘
plied to the French authorities, and
which, being abundantly avouched and
accredited, they presumed _W0}11d be ac’
corded shemwithout hesitation. The
excuse given for this rebuff In t»hat...f-111
(French) precedent is against the autl-go.
sizgfion required; I suspect the truth is
313, ‘he present ruler of France does
«not deem it desirable to favor an increase
of ilieefliciency of American antillery
or American arinaments generally. If
Spain had wished to send three ofl'icci°s
of artillery to the Crimea, who believes
that they would have encountered any
obstacle? , .
We have had two or three bright days
of late—-sufficient to prove that it Will
be‘ terribly hot in the Palace of-Industry
in Midsummer--but it is now cold and
tainy again. But our French and Eng-
liah friends find their Summer in the
late news from the Crimea and St. Pc-
tersburg, whence they argue Victory
first, Peace afterward. We shall see.
It seems pretty evident, however, that
the substitution of Pelissier for Canto-
bar: has worked well, and that the Al-
lleehave in good faith resumed the of-
fensive. -If Peliesier can‘ make a suc-
ce,33f11i'(_ia_$I1 at the Russian main ffody
outside of Sevastopol, Palmerston and
Louis Napoleon may venture to sign
such a Peace as Austria shall prescribe,
and Russia assent to, and all be fair
weather for a time. I do not see how
the Western Allies can personally afford
to, make peace except on the back of a
victory; but,-I au__i satisfied that they
now earnestly desire it, and will ini-
prove the first safe opportunity. The
expenses of ' the war are frightful, and
grow heavier from day to day. H. G.

 

ixpeunses-of the National Govern-
ment. -

The Washington papers publish ii list
of the appropriations made at the late
session of Congress. At the rate in

which the expenses of the Federal Gov-__

ernment have increased during the last
fewiyears, they will ‘soon reach the
erfprmous sum of _one7liun‘dred millions
 annually. The total amount
of. 's'pecific:appropr-iations made by Con-
gre‘s'e*atf its last session is 871,574,357,(l0

This statement does not include the
whole of the expenditures authorized
during the session. The great number
of contingent objects of expenditure,‘ of
which the sems were unascertained and
could not be specified, may swell the to-
sal of the expenses of the year to eighty
millions of dollars. The expenses of
government _will necessarily increase
with the growth of the country, but
Congress has recently manifested a per-
fect mania in the creation of offices and
the lavish expenditure of the public moh-
oy. . i .
"With the increased expenditures of

the General Government, the centrali-
zing tendency is strengthening, and the
simple and economics,‘ system of admin-
istration which characterized the early
days of the Republicis almost complete-
ly revolutionized. The post office de-
partment" has‘ grasped a patronage of
nearly eleven millions of dollars, the an-
nual expenses of an army which is al

most useless is approaching thirteen mil-
lions; and the navy, which is worse
than useless, since it invites only con-
tempt, now costs over fifteen millions ax
year-more by three millions of dollars
than the whole expenses of government
under the administration of John Quin-
cy Adams.

TUESDAY, June 19.

M11. Alsop, from com. on AgI‘lCl1l“"f«'-
on the petition for the better protection
of fruit on cultivated lands, reported a
res. inflicting punishment for such offen-
ce_g;. laid on the table to be printed.

Mr. Babcock, from com. on Educa-

Mr. Ferry, from Corn. on-Judiciary,

public acts, which Were laid on the table

Same com. reported a res. giving to
the Mayor of Hartford, power to ap-
point fifty special constable at the State
Agricultural Fair; res. passed.

Res. authorizing the Treasurer to

On motion of Mr. Ferry,_an act rela:
ting to the powers of Grand Jurors, was
taken up and passed."

Mr. Babcock, from com. on Educa:
tion, on the res. respecting exchanges of
statutes, &c., reported favorably. Res.
laid on the table to be printed.

On motion of Mr. -Ferry, an act repea-
ling the act. which repealed the “amuse-
ment law”—-the celebrated lost act—
was taken up and explained and advo-
cated by Mr. Ferry, on the ground of the
necessity of some kind of amusemeut.——
Bill opposed by Mr. Hebard, on the
ground of the demoralizing effects of
these exhibitions. Mr. Hougli took the
same view. Such exhibitions wasted
the time and money of the poor and vi-
tiated tlieir taste. Mr. Babcock obser-
veil that the taste of the age differed from
that of the past, and we ought not to go
to the extremes. He was opposed to
circus exhibitions as being demoralizing
As to theatrical exhibitions, he thought
they might be so regulated as to be pro-
ductive of good. . He therefore was wil-
ling to leave the power ofregulating
amusements in the hands of the select-
m_en, provided circuscs were excluded.
Mr. Taylor thought the repeal of the act
would leave the subject on the right
footing. Each town would then regu-
late its own amusements. lV1r. Alsop
wanted to see the law which is to be re-
pealed before he voted for its repeal.

Mr. I-Iebard could see no good resul-
ting from allowing these exhibitions.

Mr. Ferry thoilght that amusements
were necessary, and, if not allowed, in-
temperance would be the result.--
Amusements were needed to strengthen
the power of the Prohibitory Law, and
he believed that if the people were not
allowed these innocent amusements, they
would, before many years, demand a re-
peal of that law. Bill laid on the table.

On motion of Mr. Alsop, the act res-
training geese from going at large, was
taken up and passed.

THE WAR. ,
The war news by this arrival (consists
mostly of details of the affairs before Sc-
bastopol on the night of May 22d, but
the main facts have been already men-
tioned. The action was a gallant one
in wliich the French were successful in
driving the Russians from their entrench-
iueiits, but with :1 loss that gave the
skirmish the proportions of a battle.-
The papers are likewise filled with the
details of the success of the Allies in the
Crimea. After the capture of Kertscli
and Yenckali, the steam flotilla immedi-
ately entered the sea of Azoff, last win-
ter’s tempests having washed away the
forty ships sunk across the Straits by
the Russiians.’ The Allies found 17,000
tons of coal at. Kertscli, and fifty‘ dis.
mounted guns but no powder war stores.
Total number of vessels burnt by the al-
lies, 248. The allies propose to fortify
Yenekali and garrison it with Turks. but
will not hold Kertsch. -Arabat and Ge-
nitschel have been bombarded but not
taken "as reported.

Changes have occurred in the Tur-

been received to the remonstrance ‘sent,
home by Lord Stratford against the in-
trigues of’ M. Bennedetti, the French
charge. It was Benedetti that effected
the fall of Redschid'Pasha, because he
was under British influence. Napoleon
has approved of Bene-detti’s proceedings
and appointed him nominalminister to’
Persia, a step of promotion but does not
remove him from Constantinople. Some
see in this the commencement of larger
differences between France and Eng-
land. Meantime Stratford is laboring
for the restoration of Redschild to pow-
er. -

GREAT BRITAIN.

New political combinations are spring:
ing up. The London Times, at present
echoing the Government, is all for war,
but argues that any invasion by the
t—l Russians of the Prificipalities is ex-
tre ely remote; it will belong before
Russia recovers strength for a great op-
eration of offensive war, and to cross the
Prutli would be to give to Austria aca.
sus belli, and probably to’ the German
powers. Hence. the times advises to
unite Moldavia and Wallachia into an
independent state, it would have become
strong enough to resist invasion, and
thus form it barrier between Russia and
Turkey.

El? The Indepemlent, in an article,
states that for the want of a Liturgy in
the Congregational Church, many per-

go into the Episcopal Church ; that these
persons “long for and cherish the beauty
of form, rather than the crude and

forms of prayer when they wish to.

[§ The Annual _Convent_ion of the

The doctrine that “some things can be done
as well as others” probably has seldom been
more fully illiistrated than in the new field of
mercantile enterprise assumed by our neigh-
bor Clark. In addition to one of the most
extensive Watch and ‘Jewelry establishments
in the State, he has recently added a novel,
yet very popular feature to his Store, that of
keeping constantly on hand one of the largest
richest, and most varied assortments of Ladies
Trimming Goods of every style, quality and

Lafayette Fusiliers.

This beautiful illllifary Corps inhde its prom-
ised visit to Norwalk on _'1‘hursday,.and was
greeted -with the “ smiling ‘morning fnpc” of
the whole population. The Company after
landing at South Noi-walk, shaking off the
dust, &c., formed and marched -to the residence
of Maj. Gen. Guyer. when, after a review by
the General, they proceeded to the Bridge. un-
der the escort of the Norwalk Light Guards.
Arriving at the old St. John place they found
9., substantial collation prepared for them. rind
werewelcomed to the State and Town by Dr-
Lynes in it neat ten minutes speech. (A report
of which we had talrcii down we are sorry to
be compelled to omit.) Capt. Macauly replied
in it very felicitous manner, expressing flinir
surprise as well as pleasure in beholding the
manner in which his command had been re-
ceived by the people of Norwiilk. He land
supposed that his Company wouldlhave arri-
ved and’ departed without being heralded. or
the occasion of any special attentions.

At .3 P. M., the Company, with the officers
of the Norwalk Light Guards and sundry citi-
zens as invited guests, sat down to a. good and
substantial dinner at the Norwalk Hotel.

Dinner being over and the cloth removed.
Capt. McC. proposed the health of .\faj. Gnu.
Guyer, who in response gave :—“ The Valian-
tcerf Militia of our Country, a. happy combi-
nation of the citizen and soldier, peculiarly
adapted to the protection and defence of‘ mu-
republican institutions. . , .

Capt. McC. then proposed the health ofltlaj.

Lockwood. The Major replied that he was‘

not, one to whom was given the gift of speech
making, but her would sing. He sang with
fine effect “New'.England,’-’ '

Capt. IiIcC. tlien~pr'_)posed the health _of the
officer to whom our town was mainly indebted
for its fine Military corps. This drew out Capt.
Fowler, who responded-—-‘-Capt. Mccmiley
and his command, a fine specimen of the citi-
zen and the soldier.” ‘ . —

Capt. McC. responded in behalf of. himself

and command. In thevourse of his speech he
alluded in terms of liigli appreciation of (the
reception‘ tliefhad received “at _’the hands of
iiiefgooii péopiie of. ‘istoiveiiik, alluded‘ briefly
to the incidents "of the revolufionsry war and
of tliexelation of i our town-to.it. -He also re’-
f'erred'to'tlie factotllat the only house left from
Tyon’sf conflggratiou stood on the site of Gov.
Blssellls present resid,ence—-and observing ii.
nephevrof the Governor’s’present—he would
give the“1ieall;li' of Gov. Beissell’s relative,
Wjn. E. Bissell, Esq., Mr. Bissell responded in
5. toastiwelcoiiiing the Fusiliers to Norwalk.
3 :Here'qi’i'ite a lively fire and cross fire was
opened ‘.'upon the Lieiitenants of the corps,
éinong whom the immortal Dr. Blake . was
brought out. He gave an interesting account
of the causes which induced him, as one of the
Committee, to select Norwalk as the theatre
of their.annual Excursion. He said he came
here and~was' surprised at the beauty of our
scenery, of our residences, and more than all,
of our Ladies. [some one of whom seems to
havectiiised the Dr. to forget all about his
Aromatic Bif.tci-9.] And as a toast he would
give “The Ladiesof Norwalk, may they all
be united—to 9. man."

Aimember of the “National Blues” here
ga.ve—-“May the Tigers on the knapsacks of
the Fusiliers never be more ferocious than to
(luy.?-‘

,Sea_rgent Ogsberry, was here called out and
entertained the company in it hmuorous speech
of some ‘ten minutes duration. He had not
been to Norwalk before in twenty-seven‘ years
and was astounded at its alteration and im-
provement in that time, and he would give as
his ‘honest conviction, "The town of Norwalk
unsurpassed in natiii-al beauty by any other in
Connecticut.”

Our South Norwall: “City Father’-‘ T. B.
Griffith, Esq., was called upon to respond to
the above “flattering toast-—and gave “The
Lafayette Fusillies, may their popularity be
co-existent with the mg.-gmory of _liim whose
name they bear.

Capt. McCauley responded, and gave an in-
teresting account of'the'formation of the com-
pany under his commandand of many pleas-
ing incidents in their history. Spoke of the
liberality, enterprise and public spirit ofhis
command. "They sent a.‘ valuable “Liberty
Cap to Louis Napoleon” upon his election to
the Presidency of Republican France—as 8 to-
ken of‘ their internst. in--the progress of civil
liberty and in grateful remembrance of him
whose name they bore. But from the scenes
which were so soon enacted in Paris, be pre-
sumed it had been kicked under the table.-
They contributed $100 towards the Washing-
ington Moniuneut. &c. The company was a.
large one, &c.,—they had turned out one hun-
dred and ten muskets to attend a funeral of
one of their members, on one occasion, &c.,

He,c1osed by giving—“Tlie Lientenants of
the Norwalk Light Guards,” which was res-
ponded to by _ Liculz. Knapp. Mr. Lockwood
here called upon Mr. Farwell to respond to a_
toast to the Ladies, as he considered him pre-
eminently “it man of taste.” '

Mr. Farwell could not see why he should be
selected to respond to such a toast, as he was
a married man and extremely bashful, while
his friend Lockwood was a. bachelor, and
moreover a Ladies man.

[He here seemed overpowered by his subject
and was heard to mutter, aside, that he could
not talk where there was nothing to drinln]
He concluded by giving “ The Lafayette Fusi-
liers and the Norwiilk Light Guards, may they
ever be like man and wife, or a pair of leather
breeclies,united to the very extremity.” This
was followed by nine cheers for Farwell.—
Capt. McCaulc_v then gave ‘‘ The Press’’—-
which was modestly acknowledged by our
humble selves, taking occasion to congratulate
the corps upon the very favorable impression
tlieyhad made upon the citizens of Norwalk ;
tnat in every respect, withoiilgexceptiou, they
had shown themselves‘. true gmtlemm as well
as soldiers, and gave " The Lafayette Fusi-
lieishmay they not have occasion to muster
their 110 niuskets at a funeral again in ft thon-
§and‘yeiirs.’-' .

Here it humorous song “the Bill Poster”
was introduced and sung with decided effect.
Capt. McC. then gave the health of Dr. Ly nes.
who being obsent, the toast was responded tg
by Mr. Farwell. He then gave “The general
prosperity of Norwalk,” when after music by
the Band, the company broke up amidst the
utmost good order and feeling. Many mem-
bers of the corps took carriages and rode
through our principal streets, and to points
commanding views of the Sound and sur-
rounding country.

A re-union took place at the Connecticut in
the evening. when the good cheer seemed not
in the least abated. Speeches, Toasts, music
and Song carried them into the ‘ ‘small hours”
and at about 12 P. M. they broke up. The
splendid band however, still kept on duty, as
we heard them discoursing “sweet music” in
different parts of the town till near daybreak.

At 5 A. M. of Friday they mustered in front.
of‘ the Norwalk Hotel and marched to the
Steanier George Law, on board of which they
took passage to the city. Here an incident
occurred which occasioned considerable ill
feeling on the dock. and, as we learn, also
among the members of the Military and Band.
As the boat cast offiher lines the band struck
up a favorite air. when the Hart commc need
blowing oil‘ steam. This was supposed at the
time" to IIRTVEVIDAQCH done out of chagrin and

ill feeling, but we are to day assured, by one
who certainly knows, that it was not done with
any such intent. . We are really pleased to
hear the act disavowed by the officers of the
boat. With this exceftion everything passed
off pleasantly, and we presume the Fiisileers
will not soon forget their excursion to, No?-
milk, as our people will long remember their
Eenflemnnly bearing and true soldierly up-,

The Steamboats.

We do not know what our gill,-,1; people
would do if it were not for the Steamboat Ep.
idcmics which pervade. this _.;,.c;-mu 079,, f,,,,.
years. We are now at the very height of the
siege—-the battles waxhotter and hotter as ml",
mercury assends. The John Earl: pmmi,-ii-,9
summer travellers the luxury of shilling fares
for-tlie season-while the George Law. nothing
daunted, confers the some blessing for a quar-
ter. This is all well,so long as it does not re-
quirc the whole Police force of‘ New York and
Norwa k to keep the bcligercnt pm-tins from
eating one another up. Opposition and spirit-
ed competition is all very well. but piigilistic
exploits are at a discount in Connecticut and
should be superceded by some more rational
amusement.

P. S. Capt. Collins has preferred’ 0 com-
plaint before Justice Hubbell, a ainst the
George Law for various acts of ill belhivior. The
examination of the case was adjourned to this
Monday evening at the Town Hall, when——if‘
the old tenement is not so crowded by our ex.
cited populace as to “ stay the due course of
luw”—vve hope justice will assert. her suprem-
acy and ‘the Steamboaters receive the condign

punishment of the Law for. their naughty con-A

dnct-. As it promises to be a case of engros-
sing interest we shall endeavor to have the
stenograplier “ among them t.ak’n notes, and
faith we’ll print ’ein.” '

Strawberry Festival.

There is to be ‘a novel and yet very interest‘
ing and rational entertainment given at the
Basement of the M. E. Church at South Nor-
walk, on Wednesday evening of this week, for
the ‘purpose of aiding in raising a fund to pur-
chase books for the Library of the Sabbath
School. The admittance is 25 cents, for which
the guest obtains a plate of delicious berries
from the hands of some fairy queen, and can
revel in Ice Creams, Berries, Sugar Plumbs and
Kisses all the evening, at usual rates. If we
did not have such an aversion to _a créwdin
hot weather nothing should prevent our being
tliar. As it is. perhaps Darvrols’ inimitable
Ice Cream may serve as a siiflicient cooler-
think we'll venture it.’ ‘

Tickets 25 cents, forfisale at S. R. Buntings,
G. Holmes & Co., and E. E. Kriapp's.

 

Mowins’ Machine." '

The trial of the flowing Machine on the
Green on Thursday morning last, did not
prove altogether satisfactory, either to its ow-
ner or to the spectators. , It was tried again
in thegafteriioon when it worked much better,
It will be tried again on Saturday at 10 o’clk.

A Fast Horse.

Astlie Danbury train was running down
through upper Wilton this morning. a horse
was observed upon the track, when the whistle
was sounded to warn him off. But nothing
daunted old Rosinante struck up his 2'.-J0 gait:
and although the train was under full head-
way, he led the locomo ive with apparent ease,
(throwing off his shoes, however, in the chase,
one of which flew through the window of the
Engine, j ust grazing the headof the engi-
neer) and when the train broke up at Wilton
station. the old horse was seen in the dim dis-
tance, still ahead, and going it like the ghost
of Tam O’Shanter, having jumped every cat-
tle guard on the route. Whether that horse
has been stopped or is running yet, we have
been unable to learn.
