Forthe present
+.xc' have provided

reception of this statue
an unpretending tem-
poi‘ai‘y guildiuo‘. And you, sir, have al-
luded to the plan, for many years deter-
mined upon, and postponed only for the
want of means of providing a permanent
f_l'l'£1llll30 structure, which shall be so dc-
.-signcd and located as to be in perfect
iiarinony with the monument and which
shall at the same time serve the purposes
of whicli it may be required. Our mon-
llmCllli——WlllCl1 the Association holds in
trust for the benefit of the country-——is

t-liousands annually. ' In the still cold days,
of-winter, when from its suinit in the clear-
tianslucent atinosplierc, free from exhala-

gained, as well as in the hot summer’s
day, when in those upper currents the air
wliistlcs tl1i‘ougli those openings most.
luxuriously, while every thing dry and
--parclied bclo\v,—the patriotic pilgrim
sfrom our own or foreign lands is glad at
least for oucein his life to enjoy the ini-
surpassed view from that elevated position.
Some palce of shelter is therefore deinand-
ed for visitors, both before and after the
somewhat toilsoinc ascent. Another
early pledge of the Association remains
to be fulfilled ; it is the one first given,
and I-believe, Sir, under your own hand
-as the Secretary, and of depositing in the
archives of the Association . the original
S-‘il§lvSCl‘lp'[lOll books foi‘ the ei‘ection of this
monument, which was brilt almost entire-
ly by private effort. All of these books,
‘t'.'li,ll ‘many original papers, many. of them
an’ great interest, are in m_v possession,
aaitiiig for this final disposion of them.—'
‘Wiieii this is done it will not unfrequent-
ly happen, and at many distant. periods
frorn this, that some exploring visitor will
leap with joy and pride at the sudden dis-
covery ofthe genuine autograph of his
own ancestor, who had helped to build
this mighty woi'k, In providing for these
ends, the Associatiii may also provide
for a statue room, as you have suggested,
:'.‘4;’ir_. somewhat larger than the one before ,
us. ' And while the exposition of any
statue standing upon these grounds in
open contrast with this monument would
neither be agreeable or proper, there can-
foc no well founded objection to placing
xwnliin a. keeper’s lodge, _properly con-
's-‘t.i‘iieted and adopted to the legitimate
uses connected with the monument, this
and other appropriate works of art, cal-
- culated to deepen the impression. of all
the hallowed and lofty associations of
the place. As in the contemplation of

10111 WQrld—in the building of which by
ZlTl€R:'S‘llffl]dS centuries were einployed—
,1-he display upon one of its lofty outer
wvalls of a painting, illustrating some
touching sene in Sci'iptiire, though even
by a. Raphael or a Rubens, would be of-
-fciisive'fi‘om a too violent contrast and
.disproportion, and yet in the same pic-
*._tui‘c hung within the same cathredral, in

i[‘;£_‘f" then, ‘.vhich the Associatioii have al-

Duer of Rhode Isla.ud, Governor Holly
of Connecticut, and Hon. Robert C.
W'iiithi‘op.
ADDRESS or cov. HOLLEY or CONN]~1CTlCL"l‘.
Governor Holley said that‘ the time of
the audience had been so ;profitably and
agreeably occupied, and so many hours
of the day had already been consumed,
that he should not be jiistified in detain-
ing the audience for a. single moment, but
he would, in behalf of the State of Con-
necticut-, which he had the honor 'to i‘ep-
resent 011 this occasion, tender to the Mn-
nicipal a.utliorities of the City of Charles-
town, and to the State his thanks for the
cordial invitation which had been extend-_
ed to him to be present on this occasion.
The heart of Connecticut beats in unison
with that of Massachusetts in the inaug-
uration of the statue of \Varren, even as
it did on the 17th of June‘, 1775, on the
occasion of the inauguration. of the
American Revolution. Connecticut res-
ponded cordially to every sentiment of
veneration and respect which had been
expressed on this occasion to the memo-
ries of those whose blood hallowed the
soil on which stood yonder granite shaft.
God grant that Massachusetts, New
Cngland, and the eutii‘e Union may ever
find soulsas brave to stand in defence of
liber.y and their just rights to the latest
geiicration.

and thcii_in a vc1‘y felicitous manner in-
troduccd Hon. J. M. Mason to the 'as-
sembly as a Senator in Congress from the
Old Dominion.
“ Mr. Mason responded in ii. speech of
considerable length, a‘! was followed by
Hon. John P. Kennedy of Baltimore.

At the conclusion of M1‘ Ke.nnedy’s re-
marks, “Hail Columbia” was sung by the
audience, and the vast assembly quietly
dispersed.

Bayard Taylor takes a Bath.

The Tribune of Wednesday, contains

another of Bayard Taylor’s sparkling let-

tcrs, dated Muonovara, Lapland, Jan.

14, 18:37. lVe extract thereform the

following description of a rather original

style of bath in which he indulged :

. Mr. Viloolcy proposed to use another

liixur_v, in the shape of a vapor bath, as

Herr Forstrein had one of those bathing

houses which are univci‘sal in Finland.-
It was a little wooden building without
windows. A Finish servant girl, who
had been engaged for some time in get-
ting it in readiness opened the door for
us. The interior was very hot and moist
like an Oriental bath hall. In the center
was apile of hot stones, covered wtili bii‘ch
bouglis, the leaves of which wave out an

agreeable smell, and a lai‘gc tub ofwater.
T he floor was strewn with straw, and
under the roof’ was a platform extending
across one end of the buildincr. This
was covered with soft hay, and reached
by iiiea'ns of a ladder, for the purpose of
getting the full effect of the steani.-'—
Some tools and a bench for‘ our clothes
completed t-lie ari‘-aiigemeiits. There
were also in one coi‘ner a pitcher of
water, standing‘on a little heap of snow,

to keep it cool. _

The servant girl came in after us, and
Mr. \V. quietly proceeded to undress, iii-
foi‘niing us that the girl was bathing inas-
tcr, and would do the usual sc1‘i1bbiiig
and sliainpboniug. 'l‘liis, it seems, is the
general practice in Fiiilaiicl, and is lint
another example of the uiicinbarrassed
habits of the people of this part of the
world. The poorer families go into their
bathing rooms together fatlier, mother
and childrcn——and take tu_riis polishing
each othcr’s backs. It would have been
ridiculous to have shown any hesita-
tion under the circumsLances——iii fact, an
iiidigiiity to the honest simplelieai'tcd,
virtuous girl and so we deliberately iiii-
dressed also. When at last we stood,
like our first parents in Paradise, “na-
veil and not asli:_imed,” she handed us
bunches of birch twigs with the leaves on,
the use of which was siiggested by the
leaf of scripture. \Ve mounted to the
platfoi‘iu and laid down upon our backs,
wherciipon she increased the temperature
by throwing ii'a.lei‘ upon the hot stones,
' until the lie-at was ratlier opprcss_ive and
we began to sweat pi‘of'nsel_v. She then
took up a bun'cl1 of birch twigs which had
been. dipped in hot water, and switched
us from head to foot. When we had be-
come tlioronghly parhoilcd and lax,
we descended to the floor seated our-
selves upon the stools, and wei‘c sci‘iib-
bed with soap as thoroughly as propriety
permitted. Tliegii‘lwasaiiadmirabebath-
oi‘, the result of long practice in the busi-
iiess. She fiuishe(f by pouring lio.t water
0lr’Cl’ us, and then drying 'us with wai‘in
towels. The Finns frequently go out
and roll in the snow diii‘ing the progress
of the bani. Iiv"e.ll.tlll'0(1 so far as to go
out and stand a few se.';0.llllS ill the’ 013011
air. The niercury was at zero, and the
effect of the cold on my heated skin was
delightfully ref'resliir_ig. - '

The period of our semi-annual collections

Adjournment of the Legislature.

The postponcmentbffhc hour of adjourn-
ment from Friday noon to Isatiirday at 10 A.
M., gave time to close the business of the
session with care and delibcrafon.

We are obliged to postpone the publica-
tion of the closing ceremonies, votes of thanks,
and other pleasa.nti~ies, untill next week. The
Hartford Press speaks as follows:

Without. exception by any, it is conceded
that Lieut. Gov. Biiruham has amply justi-
fied his election. The compliment paid him by
a. political opponent, Senator Chapman, is not
considered an exageration.

Speaker Bulkelcy ‘has commanded the en-
tire respect or the House, and his iinvarying
iiupartiallity, courtesy patience, and kind de-
mcupor, are acknowledged by all. We have
heard it especially mentioned by those mem-
bers whose C0l.1(.‘l0l‘l'~llCSS of youth an d inex-
perience rend-ercd them somewhat difiident.

Though no reasoning man expects to agree
precisely with his fellows in all matters, we
are confident that the general view of the ac-
tion of this Legislature will be satisfactory to
the great body of their costituents. Of one
thing we are entirely sure. The Republican,
Union and American members, and we may
include a portion at least of the minority also,
have not been surpassed by any of their pre-
dccessors in pu.i‘ity of intention or industry.

The John Hart Excursion

Comes off t.his'(Tuesday) Evening, and as the
“ Heated Term” is now fully upon us we have
no doubt it will be extensively enjoyed. Our
first ciiizcns have interested themselves in its
inception, which is a guarantee that good or-
der and a genteel party alone will predomi-
nate. A good Band. D’Artois with his unri-
valled Ice Cream and Strawberries, with a
good Supper in store at MeCleiinau“s for those
who hunger, and tall facilities for a. dance for
those who ihirst therefor, with Moon and Tides
propitious, wha.t more_ could be desired. A
fine company will be out. but no more tickets
will be sold than can be comfortably accom-
modated.

Strawberry Festival.

The pi‘cscnt week abounds in gala days, but
among all the eiitcrtaiuments on oui‘ Bill of
Fare. for the patriotic week, none will com‘
pare with the intellectual feast, as well as
creature comforts, prepared by the Ladies of

Fire Works.

Our patriotic fellow citizen. Geo. R. Chol-
well,E.=.q., has, we believe, very eommenoably
initiated a subscription for a fine display of
Fire Works on the evening of the 4th. If
successful, as we trust the enterprise will be,
this will add a very attractive _feutu1‘e to
wind up on. It has been the iashion for years
for or-ators and people to get as “ high” on
the Fourth of July as possible. In these lat.-
ter Maine Law days. balloons have been large-
ly introduced, and it wouldn’t be a bad at-
traction for Norwalk.

The Mormons.

We see by the New York Times of Satur-
day, that the "‘ .Mormon.sl of Jtorwalk” are
to have a. grand jubilant on Caukeua Island
on the 4th. The Ghost of John Smith will
appear in the person of Elder—somebo<ly,who
will be delivered of a patriotic Fourth of Ju-
ly Oration, when, we presume, the inmates of
the various Mormon Seraglios hcreabouts will
be turned loose and commence the ground
and lofty tumbling peculiar to the day, and
to the tenets of their oriental theology. The
stars, and garters, and other fireworks. will
shoot off‘ in the evening at the Grand Harem,
said to be located somewhere between So. Nor-
walk and the sea. Our reporter has already
commenced whittling his pencils and prepar
ing his note sheets, and if presented with half
of an invitation, will be found among the
“ Saints.”

The decision of the Court of Appeals
in regard to the Metropolitan Police Bill
is anxiously looked for by our citizens
'.l‘liat the Court will decide in favor of the
law seems to be the general impression,
notwitlistanding the fact that the majori-
ty of the Judges, are all connected with
the democratic party. ‘The, excitement
occasioned by the open demonstrations of
Mayor \Vood in resisting the execution of
the law, has in a great degree subsided,
and peace and quiet may therefore be
said to reign once more in our city. It
does not take a great deal to arouse the
multitude here into a riot or disturbance,
and many who have been ready the past
week to fight and die for their country
and Fernando Wood, are now content
to slip out of sight and allow the law to
take its own course. Mr. Wood rc-
mainsin the City Hall, imbeddcd in, by
his own men, lioldiug out to the last, la-
boring under the delusion that he is, by
his own acts, defending the city against
the aggressive attempts of the Legisla-
ture, tln‘ougli his own person. Even if
the Court of Appeals decides in favor of
the law, we doubt not that he would
then summon his party to his aid, and
set the authorities at defiance. ,There-
fore we have cause to be anxious for‘ the
decision of the qourt, and by that deci-
sion, whatever it may be, it will be the
duty of every good citizen to -stand by
and protect.

The weatlier here is mild and pleasant,
varied a little by cool breezes, and once
iua wliilea shower of dust. VVc .liavc
had considerable rain lately, which makes
sunshine doubly agreeable. Our strccts
ai‘e daily crowded with both sexes, out
for a promenade, business or otherwise.
Broadway is not neglected just now, es-
pecially by the ladies, and now that
hoops have been trundlcd out of fashion-
able circles, it is quite pleasant to enjoy
the afternoon promenade, without being
obliged" to step into the street every few
moments, to escape being carried away
by_ these modern balloons. Indeed we
have long anxiously lookedfora. demon-
stration on the part of the City Corpo-
ration in regard _to having oui‘ female
friends arrested for blockading the piib-
lic highway. The reign of hoops is at an
end, which event will be hailed wiih joy
by all of the male species who have suf-
fered thereby, (and who has not,) fi‘om
-this terrible infliction. But let us drop
the subject. We do not wish to offend
our lady friends, but we do say that if
hoops have been sent unto man as a judg-
ment, we aiixioiisly hope that it will not
be repeated again very soon.

S An amusing incident of juvenile prc.
cocity is going the rounds of the newspa-
pers, in the shape of a letter fi‘om a
youngster residing in Georgia, to Mr.
Buchanan, our Pi‘esidciit. In said letter‘
the yoniig gentleman informs Mr. B. that
during the last campaign he hollered un-
til his tliroa.t was sore, also stating that
he was out of pocket money, and winding
up with a request for an office under the
present adininistration, or if that could
not be obtaincd,politely requested Mr.
_Biichaiian to send him the small sum of
ten dollars. “"0 do not know whether
the President has complied with his re-
quest yct or not, but one thing is evident,
that youth will get ahead in this world,
untranimeled by any of the obstacles that
usually beset the aspiring youth of the

Resolution that banks shall pay into
the State treasury all their profits above
8 per cent. per aiinuni ; rejected.

Mr. Stewart wished to call the atten-
tion of the Senate to the great amount of
banking capital in the State, as shown
by the bank commissioner’s report. As
the banking capital is increased, the loans
made out of thc‘State increase . propor-

Mr. Carpeiiter showed that the demo-
cratic pai't‘_v have chartered most of the
baiiks which have “iiicreased the capital”
and bronglit the State so near to ruin.

Mr. Chapman denied in toto that the
democrats had chartered more banks

An act for the preservation of fish,
proviing that no person shall take trout.
or other valuable fish fi‘om a stream, res-
crvoir or pond, without the consent of
the owners of the land adjoining.

Gen Pratt advocated to bill as perfect-
ly reasonable.

Mr. Roberts tliouglit the bill arbi-
ti‘ai‘_v. He had caught but one trout in
his life, and thought itdid not pay for
the pains. Bullfrogs he considered, a
very valuable fish, ino1‘c particularly for
their singing qualities, asalso were snap-
ping turtles .

Gen Pratt called the gentleman to or-
der. » ' -

Mr. Roberts said legal gentlemen could
waiidei‘ all over the United States and
be in order, but he had not been outside
of a inill-pond. '

Fnrtliei‘ debate followed, and Mr. Per-
ry moved the previous question ; carried.

Bill passed.

An act foi‘ the. profection of fish in
Saltonstall Lake, New Haven County,

stocking the lake ; passed.

Resolution appointing a committee to
investigate the subject of pi‘oteetiiig the
shad a.iid other fisberi and report to
the next General Assein ly, and provid-
ing $300 to pay expenses. -

Gen. Pratt said it was evident that
some means were necessary to protect the
shad fisheries. The ponds on the Sound
shore are thought to be disastrous to the
shad fishei‘ies, as both great and small
are caught together. Under tizese cir-
cnmstances the committee had recom-
mended the resolution.

Mr. Roberts was opposed to the reso-
llll-l()lI,-llllli if it was to pass he wished
three legal gentlemen might be appointed,
who might decide whether it was consti-
tutional to prevent fisliing. In his opiii-
ion peoplc had a right to to catch fish in
the navigable waters. He had bought ii
half-barrel of shad and sent them to Da-
rieii, and was glad to get them, no mat.-
liow they were cauglit. .

Mr. Brooks said it was Mi‘. _Du_nhaip

Mr. Roberts had not had sufficient ev-
idence to induce him to vote for the re-

peal. _

Gen. Pratt agreed that Mr. Duiihani ’
should have an opportunity to defend him-
self, as he srood in a very uiieiiviable light
at pi‘cseiit.

Mr. Brooks said the committee could

chant’s Excliaiigc bank.

Mr. (li‘osvc‘ior called for the names of
the :issailniits, as it was due to the llousc
to know them.

substanciuted fully the statements of Mr.
Brooks with regard to the inanageinciit
of the bank.

Mr. Merwin was glad the assailants
had been made to i‘uii, and hoped they
wo':ld receive the stigma they deserved.
If members ai‘c to be assailed outside for
discliargiiig their duty, it was time to
wash ourselves from all outside influen-
ces.

Mr. Grosveiior said if it had come to
this that a iiiciuber could be called out
and assulted by an officer of the State, it
was time that officer was reached.

Mr. Merwiii thought it time the officer
was.remov,ed.

.Vlr. Willey moved that a coininittee of
three be apointcil to investigate and re-
port the facts ; carried uiianimously, and
Mes.-.‘i‘s. Grosveiior of Norwich, Pratt of
Rocky Hill, and Willey of New London,
appointed.

city of New Haven takcu_up.

Mr. Carter said the revised charter
was framed by the citizens of'New I-lavcii,
and had been amended in committee to
make the wards comfortable to the new
division. _

Mr. Ingersol gave a history of the for-
mation of the charter, and opposed the
amendment as being contrary to the wish-
es of/the citizens of New Haven.

The amendnicnt proposed by the com-
niittce was adopted—8:3 to 70

Other minor amendments were concur-
red in, and the bill passed.

An act repcaliiig the law allowing the

The comniittc on the Brooks asault
again reported the facts in the case, rc-
coininciidcd that no further notice be

Mr Brooks was sorry to be the occasion
of so much trouble, but did not think the
apology of any importance.

Mr. Willey said Mr. Diinham had be-

fore the committee apologized for his
conduct, and disclaimcd all intentions to
insult an'ymembcr of the House. _- He was

‘V. Gen. Pratt wished that the report

It was an unpleasant affair, but Mr.

the number of the lost will fully rcaeli

'l‘lie Montreal was owned by Mr. Joliu
T\"‘ilsoii, of Quebec, and was valued at
about $50,000.

Every effort was made to arrest the
flunics and for this piirposc the engines were
stopped so as to lesson the draft; but
finding it impossible to save the steamer
Capt. Randolph ordered her to be run to-
wards the shore, and at the same time
the officers and the crew exerted them-
selves ‘to get out the life boats. The
flames spread with the most astonishing
rapidity, and in a few seconds after the
stcaiiici' bcgaii to move forward,‘ and the
wildest confusion and despair prevail-
ed tlirougliout the ship, and numbers of
the pllSS(3ll_L’,‘Cl'S threw themselves over-
board and wi-i‘c in uizst cases drowned.

Foi‘l.iiiiatcl y the steamer Napoleon,
also bound foi‘ Montreal, was but a few
miles in advance of the burning boat, and
as soon as the fire was discovered put back
with all possible expedition and succeeded
in rescuing. from the burning wreck one
hundred and twenty-seven passengers.

Capt. Randolph and the purscr of the
Montreal were amongst the number of
those who threw themselves into the
i‘iver, and they being excellent swimmers
succeeded in reaching the steamer Alliance
and were saved. It is quite possible that
others may have succeeded in saving
themselves by swimming, but as the
steamer became unmanageable when a
considerable distaiicc from the land, there
is no doubt that mostof those who threw
themselves from the burning wreck found
a watery grave. ‘

The steamer Alliance arrived here this
afternoon with forty-five dead bodies, and
another boat is known to have recovered
sixty bodies, but we have not been able
to learn the names of any of those lost
except Mr. Philips, of the cxtciisive liiin-
beringfirm N orcross & Phillips, of Three
