City Ticket.The Delegates chosen by the Whigs of this City

to nominate candidates for the Constitutional Con¬vention, reassembled last evening and agreed on thenames ofDavid B. Ogden, Robetit Taylor,Philip Home. Charles O'Conor,Wx, F. Havemeter. Alex.VV. Bradford,Nath'l K. Biuirr, John L. Stkphkns,Robert Jones, Theo. E. Tumlinson,

to complete, with the six names previously agreedon, a ticket to be supported at the approaching Elec¬tion.We have barely time to announce these candid,

ates this morning. It will be seen that two candid¬ates, Charles O'Conor and John L. Stephens,were taken from the ticket nominated by our oppo¬nents, being regarded as gentlemen who would act

Independently of party trammels. Hon. W. F.HaVkmeter, oar present Mayor, was nominated inregard to the independence aud fidelity displayedby him as Mayor, although it was apprehended thathe might decline. We trust the whole ticket willoommend itself to the deliberate judgment, of a ma¬

jority of our citixena.The candidates previously nominated are

The Life of Van Buren.The Courier &. Enqnirer and Exprest both

publish tbc characteristic letter of J. W. Webb toJesse Hoyt in 1833, wherein Col. Saltpetre manifestsso fierce an anxiety to get into a fight with Poindex-tcr, Moore or some other of the Senators who votedto disapprove Gen. Jackson's nomination of VanBaren for Minister to England.yet both abuse ut

for doing the same thing I If their excuse is theprior publication of the letter in our columns, thenonre is eqoally good, for wo copied it from n bookof which thousands are and were certain to bo neat

tered every where. But we make no apology anddesire no excase. The Courier insinuates a proba¬bility that Mackenzie hns interpolated a word intothat letter, yet the Editor believes nothing of thesort. He says :

" He who would steal and publish a private letter,wonld steal his neighbor's purse but for fear of thu lawand the man who truuld aid in circulating a letter to He¬len, would be guilty of any act which the original pur-lolner could perpetrate."

All we have to say to this is simply that the Courierpublished conspicuously, in April, 1844,aprivatc ami¦triolly confidential letter from ihe Editor of TheTribuno in 1841,10 Col. C. S. Todd at Washington,¦peaking unguardedly of certain prominent Whigsof this City. We are confident no other Whig pa¬per ever published that letter. There was nothingin it we were or are ashamed of, though its appear¬ance in the Courier wus calculated to make troublebetween as and certain personal and politicalfriends. We say now lhat if said letter betrayeddepravity, hypocrisy or iniquity on our part, theCourier did right in publishing it. Wo think wewore not so old wheti it was written as Col. Webbwm when he wrote his bulletin to Hoyt respectingMoore. Poindexter, Jcc. but we plead no baby act..If there was any thing wrong in it, we were quiteold enough to know better.The Courier says ice " well know" that somebo¬

dy not named warned him (Webb) not to attackMackenzie because M. had his (Webb's) letterswhich he might publish, Ac. Wc certainly never

beard a whisper of all this before. Whether it isnow correctly stated, wc can only guess from thereckless posltiveness with which wc are thereinsaid to "well Know" something of which we never

had a suspicion.The Courier, not ¦aiiatied with copying what we

gave, announces that its Editor intends " in a fewdays to publish all our private letters now broughtto light by Mackenzie, Grecley -St Co." character¬ising it as "our youthful correspondence thusbrought to light when additional yeara of experionce enable us to perceive its follies." Good.»\gnin! The Courier will sell if well filled withthose ' youthful' letters. Let us have them by allmeans, in order to testify a proper abhorrence ofAc example of The Tribune..But wo commenced only to speak of Macken-

rie's Life and Tiruee of Van Buren There ia asystematic, concerted effort now making to decrythis work and make the public beliove that its valueconsists mainly in the private letter* of .lease Hoyt.* Co., therein published. Very different from thisia the troth, as any man who has read it willtestify. The work has intrinsic merits of a very-high character, and (aside from its developmentsOf private intrigues) is calculated to cast more

light on the Political History of our State, the char¬acter of the Van Buren Dynasty, Jcc. Ax. than anytwenty hooka ever before published. No work ofequal research, Indcatry and fearlessness had pre¬viously appeared none in which the author's viewof affair* is so constantly fortified by appeals to un-

doubted and significant public documents. No mancan read this book without signal Instruction andprofit; no neighborhood can study it without takingview* of public affair* leu* blinded and distortedby prejudice and partisanship. Those who havecondemned the book were either ignorant of itscontents or had personal reasons for denouncingit They cannot thus forestall the judtrment of thepublic. v

Labor and lta Need*.The recent troubles in Brooklyn appear to be an

thoroughly quieted thai we may indulge in a fewremark a on their nature and obviou* bearing* with-out joaily incurring the imputation of contributingto an excitement dangerous to the public peace. *

i What wa* the cauae of that trouble ? A* we on-

derstaad it. a large number of Iriah laborers harebeen at work in Winter for certain contractors forsiztyfiec cents per day, and the days were made

pretty long at that. With this compensation,amounting to 83 90 per week, tbe laborer* must ofcourse live astbey best could. «ome of tbem havinglarge families to support- As the rent of any decenttenement in Brooklyn would absorb nearly the en-

tire earnings of a laboring man at this rate, theywere allowed to baild miserable shanties on groundallotted them by the contractors on the plot occupiedby tbem in performing the work.As Spring opened and days became loDger. labor

more effective and employment more general, thepoor laborers began to grumble at their hard lot, andat last united in an effort to improve it. They askedfor 871 cents per day {about equal to 50 in Vermont,or 37$ in tbe West.) and to have ten hours recog-nized as tbe limit of a day's work. Tbe contractorsrefused to comply with their demands .. whereuponthe laborers strack work. Tbe contractors hired a

cargo of freshly landed Germans to take their places,and ordered tbe old laborers to quit tbe premises.which they refused to do, and resorted to tbe law-less, unjustifiable step of endeavoring to drive tbeGerman* from the work by intimidation and vio¬lence. Of course the Military were called out, theIrish overawed, tbe Germans protected in theirwork, and thus the matter stands. So far. the con-

tractors may be said to have triumphed.Now it would be perfectly easy to excite indigna-

tion against these contractors, but we »hall do no

such thing. We do not know that they could affordto pay the advance asked, though we are strorjgly'inclined to think that men have no moral right to

take a job so low that the laborers must be hired at

prices which will not allow them to live. Yet on

the Free Trade, gc-t-whai-yoa can principles whichgovern business generally they have a perfect rightto hire men for a shilling a day if they can tret tbem,as they certainly have a lesal right. The wrong inthis case may be more palpable but is not more realthan in a thousand things which pass unchallengedand t;nrensured.The evil we here see is ausceptiblc of none other

than a radical reform. What is needed is some

measure, adjustment, or what you please to call it.which wiil enable the laborer if he chooses to em¬

ploy himself, instead of leaving him dependent fora chance to livp on the tender mercies of any con-

tractors whatever. Where a great job is to bedone, it should be taken by or for the laborers them-selves, who should share the proceeds among them

according to the amount and efficiency of their re

spenive labors. Say that this is difficult, if youwill, but not impossible. It may be done.nay, itmust and will be done Such an arrangement wouldpat an end to strikes for ever.

The Frcerlvm of the Public Lands to actual set-

| tiers, and the Limitation of future acquisitions ofLand to some reasonable amount, are also measures

which seem to as vitally necessary to the ultimateEmancipation of Labor from thraldom and misery.What is mainly wanted is that each man shouldhave an assured chance to earn, and then an assur¬

ance of the just fruits of his labors. We must

achieve these results yet; we can do it. Everynew labor-saving invention-is a new argument, an

added necessity for it. Anil, so long ns the Labor Jing GlaaB must live by working for others, while jothers are striving to live luxuriously and amass

wealth oat of the fruits of such labor, so long the jabuses and sufferings now complained of must con-

tinue to exist or frequently reappear. We must goto the root of the evil.

Convention UrlettnteH.On the ~0d of April, only six days beforethe DiOBt

important Election held in this State for many years,the Loco-Foon majority ofnur Letrislatnre has driventhrough a bill changing the Representation of twelveCounties of our State, including St. Lawrence andCbautauquc. two of the moat distant Counties in theState.JJ One of these Counties has to put a candidate off its

ticket and the other to put one on, to hold Conven¬tions fur that purpose, make nominations, print anddistribute ballots, &c. otc. before the Election..There can be no doubt that this is a very wrongact, done as it is in the face of an express andunanimous decision of the Supreme Court that theLegislature has no rightful power to do nny thingof the sort.The Counties cannot net deliberately under this

law, bat the Loeo-Focos. who have prepared theirdistant confederates for its passage, will reap a most

unjust ndvamnge from it. The following is the act:The People nf the Stale of yet,-- York, represented in SenateOMd Aisemhly do mad as fcl'.ows :

Fitzgep.ald's Braidi^o Machine .We lookedin by invitation yesterday on a machine recently in¬vented by Mr Elisha Fitzgerald. Cfcry-;tie-st. forBraiding Tan;an Straw, at which it was busüjworking when we entered and while we examined it,For thi* machine the straw is prepared bv simply

cutting the requisite length and steepiDg in water

It is then put in a proper box or holder, perhapstwo hundred straws at once, and the machine, re¬

quiring only a very slight power from water, steam

or hand, does the rest. Each straw is picked up sepa¬rately when wanted, and carried to the rignt place two

strands are carried over and packed down st each revo¬

lution of the machine; and whenever the small, soft por¬tion of the straw :« braided lo. the machine cuts it offand goes after another. Should it not find one where ithas a right to expect it, or should an unfit one be pre¬sented, it tUrpt wrrking ! The attendant th»t put* the

right sort of a straw where one should be. and off she.tarts again This patting in * straw when one happensto break or miss, (which is rarely ) and the feeding withstraw by the bandfull, sre ali the work required of theattendant, who may thus attend twelve to twenty ms-

chines, each of which is braiding fatter and fsr betterthan could possibly be done by hand. It is little to saythat this invention must lessen the cost of braiding fine

straw nine-tenths, beside transferring to this Co'ntry s

branch of industry frr which we now pay Europe mil¬

lions per annum. The machine is of mode-ate sire, re-

quiring perhaps three feet square of room, and is built

at a cost of about $300 for each. We hear that a

Company has pa-chased the patent, and is now busilyconstructing machines to bring it Into extensive use.The Straw also, which has hitherto been wholly import¬ed, even when the Bmid'ng was done here, will now begrown on our own boU. giving a farther diversity to Ag-ricultura! production.Mr. Elisba Fitzgerald, the author of this trophy of

Amerieau prac'ical genius, is the youngest of six brothers,nearly all men of original and inventive mind. Daniel in¬vented the Salamander Safe; Jesse the Portable Burr-Stone Mill; the three together the machine for BraidingManilla Grass, now extensively used for making Amazoneand Neapolitan Bicnet*. This was deemed a wondrousachievement, hut it is thrown into tbe shade by the Tus¬can Braiding Maeliin». This has hitherto er_couoteredsome difficulty in the practical working, which has now

been overcome, and the pattern machine at £3 Chrystie-st. was picking up straws yesterday as quietly and upllyas though it bad been dulng that and nothing else sincethe days of Adam. We wish it could be seen at some

Museum or Harden for a week or two ; it would put rope-dancing and jugglery right out of countenance.

Election for Convention 4 Days from To-Day.{¦y We ask the attention of Steamboat owners

Scientific men and Artisans to the engraving, and descrip¬tion of a now Screw Propeller, which appears in this pa¬per. We are too well aware of the slender value of our

own opinions on such matters, yet it d-.es ssem to u«

that the amount of resistance to be encountered by a

boat constructed on this principle is far less than that ne¬

cessarily breasted by a paddle-wheel boat. This is w

question for those more thoroughly acquainted with or

directly Interested in the subject, however, and to themwe heartily commend it.

warrant the necessary expenditure o. ink. Meanwhile,let us pack onr trunks, take down our bedsteads, tear upour carpets and prepare for the grand pow.wow of next

week.The National Acabzmt The present is the

twenty-first Annual Exhibition, and it a'Tords abundantevidence thBt the Institution has reached the age ofmanhood. There are m >re fine pictures and a greater

amr.unt nf matured talent in ibis than in any two of the

U*t five exhibitions. We have only bad leisure tor two

brief Bnd discursive visits to the Gall-ry this year, but

these have satisfied us of the truth of what we tay.We are delighted to see that the attendance is very full

and fashionable, and that there is evidently an increasedinterest ia the public on the subject of a National Schoolof Art.w,> (who bare never seen the great relics of the

olden Inspiration that swept over Greece and Italy, mak¬ing cods nf the men who inhaied ber breath) scarce

dr.ro spea^ at al! in detail of Pictures. We feel thatthere is a s'.auiard of the B-:autifu! within ovr souls;but it is so obscured by icnorance and inexperienceand the Incalculable nibhl.h of current criticism thatscarce can we distinguish even its nutline among thedreamy and impeifect vision* which Coat about our pen.And yet, everybody whn pretends to be an Editor must

pretend also to he able to criticise everythinc: so wr

will point out our favorite pir.-j.r--s in ihe modestestmuoner possible.

I. Tasso and his Friends during his last illness. A

cnod composition, but somewhat stiffly executed. Thehead ofthe sick Poet is finely drawn.

2 River Scene in New-Hampahire. A most creditablelandscape. No M by the same artist (Richards) is an ex¬

quisite thing.14. Cami la and Gil Bia». Colored with all of Flaggt

usu»; depth and rirhces*. and drawn with more than hisusual accuracy.

03. Pick Niek Party. One of Cole's admirable land¬scapes.so true tn Nature, so warm, so fresh, ;bat thereremains nothing to be desirpd.

40. Alms-Giving. A painting of much force and ex¬

pression. It is one of Hunungton's best. No -ST. hyth-some, is also excellent

46. Landscape composition. A glorious picture byDurand.

'.4. The Dead Courser. This is a small picture byRsnney. and is buntr in a low and unfavorable position.But it is a powerful and startling piece, and will hold a

hither place in your memory than on the Gallery walls.c.">. Italy, hy Huntinttton. A wild, dreamy, enthusiast¬

ic, religion*, pnetira! head.full of every thing that Italyis while remem' . r.: j what she was.

Tri Julie;.Balcony Scene. A sweet face, but nU our

especial Jti'let.77. Lake Champl-en from near Burlington, wilh the

Adri, ndark Mountain*, A grand and at the same timedelicious picture, transmitting undiluted lo the soul the

very spirit of the scene.

7S. Josbus A. Spencer. A massive bead, full of tbefire of thnughL It is too handsome and too yonng forthe origins!, but not ton intellectual.

cd. Landincoftbe Northmen. Leutze has created a

style for himself to whiche strongly ndhers althoughthis picture ts more blending and graceful than is usualwitlfhim.

103. North Carolina Emigrant*. A picture full ofdeepand sorry truth enough to make one who has ntn the

original here so well depicted to both laugh and

weep. The scene is the very saddest burlesque uponreal life and yet real to the life.

139. Pick Nick Party. C. P. Cranch. This is ane of

the best and sweetest landscape compositions whose in¬

tense beauty we ever drank In. It Is worthy of the risingfame of this tme-thoughted young artist.

141. The Mund' In. S.S.Osgood. We have never

seen a more beautiful head. The attituie is bewitchingand the white little hands with their b:ue veins as ex¬

quisite as Spring öowers.156 Portrait of a Lady. This is one of the most

striking pictures in tbe Gallery. Its rrfects are simplyproduced, and to a severe critic there is harshness in thecontrasts: but it is a picture to please and fascinate thebeholder. The Indy is rtallu reading.a thing n^t veryolten seen in a picture.

179. A Lady. C. C. Ingham. Mr. Ingham is certainlytbe most delicious colorist Such soft and velvet trans¬

fusions to canvas of the delicate and evanescent tint of

woman's beauty, we have not seen elsewhere. Thehard and arm ol this picture are a study for tbe best andmost skillful.

202. Angels bearing St. Catharine to Heaven. C.Blaus. This dne painting introduces a new name to as

with which we well foresee that the world is destined to

be familiar.290. A Passage in the Lile ol Woman. This beauti¬

ful painting by Durand bas been muh and justly ap¬plauded. It is considered sy macy tbe gem of the exhi¬bition.We hs».-run tcr j.-'n -ur Catalogue very basti y, and

lady of Ohio, about ".; years of age. who has beenfot some time at school at Hartford. Conn, receivedan injury ia the lower part of her spine, ia Novem¬ber last, from a fsdi. which rendered her unable to

bear even the slightest elevation toward aa erect po¬sition, and kept ber ia continual pain. She was attendedby the most skillful physicians without benefit, but at

length, under the advice of a physician of this city, she

was placed on a bed constructed for the purpose, and

brought here by railroad and steamboat, with tbe view

of trying tbe etfect* of mesmeric treatment under hi*direction. She arrived here on the3d fast, accompaniedby her brotber-in law and sister and pat up at Judson's

Hotei. Broadway. The following evening tbe physicianintroduced Mr. O.tz. a istinguished mignetiger. and re¬

commended htm to make the proper mesmeric passesaionctbe sp'r.e for the purpose of ni.sying the high nerv-

ous excitement under which she was laboring, and

which had continued without intermission, from the

time of the accident. The passes were quits effectual,and that night she erjoyed scund and refreshing sleepwhich she had not obtained for the previous fire months.The next morning, the magnetizer. by means cf the

mesmeric passes alone, gradually raised her to an erect

position. In which she remained about a minute. In tbe

evening, he operated again, and she was again enabl-d

to sit erect The doctor then directed him to raise ber

,j. n ber feet, which he did with a few passes and. sup-ported by the magnetizer and the physician, she foundherself able to walk several times across the room. Af¬

ter resting about fifteen minutes in an easy chair, where

ber expressions of wonder and gratitude wer» deeplyfervent and affecting, she repeated ber waik around and

across the room, and retiring full of joy and hope, againpassed the sight in tranquil sleep.On the following morning, the mesmeric passes pro¬

ved so effectual that she was considered lurhclently re-

stored tn undertake a j uirney to Philadelphia, that a!-

ternoon. on her nay to her family in Ohio. Mr Oltz ac-

enmpanted her to the depot in Jersey City, and havingseated her comfortably In the cr.r. and stowed away her

previous traveling couch upon the top. transferred hi*

mesmeric power over her to her brother inlaw and saw

her start on her unexpected journey. The following are

extracts ol a letter from the sister who Accompaniedher. to her physician in this city, dated H«rri«burgh.Peno. April 1.1th. 1846:

.¦ I fear our neglecting to write from Philadelphia wiljlead you to think we do not appreciate the dind interestynu took in sister's case Be assured we do and ever

shail remember ji.u with eralitude. . * * Our kindfriend Mr Oltz (to whom you will please remember us)doubtless told yon how weil we succeeded in getting tothe Cars. Mr. B was able to continue the inrluenc, to

such a degree tn keep her very ea»y fir about two

hours, when, owing to some relaxation of effort she be¬came sick at the stomach. We gave her the little glo¬bules Ipeeacimnna] which soon relieved that, and then,notwlinstandingthe noise and motion o! the cars.

T2iK SOalTSlEK^ .TIAll*.Secrer Service Fand and lMr. Webster.

The following is an authentic copy ot" Mr. Wtn-srF.R's remarks in the Senate on Wednesday, on theresolution offered by Mr. JaRNAGUI some tlays since,calling on the President for information relative to

tbe Secret Service Fund.' The resolution havingbeen read.

Mr. Wkbstek rose ami said: I have a few. amibat a few. remarks to make on the President's Mes¬sage in answer to the resolution of the House of Rep¬resentatives calling for an account of the disburse¬ments during the period in which I had tbe honorto be Secretary of State, out of the fund for the con¬

tingent expenses of foreign intercourse.In the first place, sir. I aui happy to say that 1

entirely approve the courseof proceeding Which tbePresident ha* adopted, in my judgment, he couldnot have acted otherwise ihau be baa done, withoutthe violation of law and of hts own duty. Sir. as Iknow thai not a dollar was disbursed from that fundwithout the sanction of the President, and as I amconscious thar every disbursement was made for n

proper and necessary public- purpose, it might bethought that 1 desire the publication of the papers,in order that every bedy might see what they nre.

or what they show-. But ibis is a matter of so littleconcernmi ot to me (snd I presume it i* of as little tothe Icte President) that I certainly would not wishto see an important principli and an important law.violated and broken for any personal conveniencein that respect. 1 am not at all apprehensive thatthe country will inspect either President Tyler, or

me. acting ander his authority, ofany thing improperin the disbursement of a few hundred or a few thou¬sand dollars, in a case in which the law reposes con¬

fidence in the President, and gives him a discretionas to making the expenditure public.

Sir. a President of the United States, or the headof a Department acting by his authority, mum thinkbut poorly of his own reputation and standing withthe country if he is afraid of being suspected ofhaving violated his duty and bis oath in a matter ofso little moment. I will add, thru a person whncntertains such a suspicion, without reason, ofany publicman. may hiin-'tif be well suspected of having helda no very complimentary dialogue with himself.

Sir. we all know that the head of a Departmentcannot touch a dollar of this fnnd without tbe Presi¬dent's sanction. The whole power, am) the wholeresponsibility, is with tic I'resi lent The President'sMessage states this so fully and clearly that 1 neednot dwell upon it. 1 will say. in the first place, thatno expenditure, improper In itself, or improper inits amount, was made to my knowledge, )odgmenior belief. And I will «ay. in th<: next place, thatthe late President of the United Suites, in all thingsrespecting tbe expenditure of the public moneys,was remarkably cautious, exact and particular.And 1 hero any. Sir. that all declarations, nver-

meuiH. Htntemonts or insinuations made *nywhere,or by anybody, which impnte perversion, niisnpplication or waste of the funds, committed or madeby me while Secretary of Slate, are utterly ground¬less a:id untrue. And I will conclude with one re¬

mark, the hearing of which I sh-i.ll leave to theSenate and to the country.Whoever charges tne with having either misnp

plied or wasted the public funds, while in the De¬partment of Stute, has either seen tbe papers, or has.in some other way. obtained knowledge on the sub¬ject, or he has not. If he has M-en no papers, andhas no knowledge, then his imputations are purelywanton and Hlntideroui. If he hit* **oen the paper*,or has any knowledge, then he would be sure tostate what he know*, if ho knows any thing to sus¬

tain him in his charge. Silence, under such circum¬stances, is conclusive that he knows nothing; ho-cause he is tinder no obligation of secrecy, and, inabsence of all other proof. h<; would ofcoarse tellall he know, if he knew any thing which could, inthe slightest degree, Ix-ur him out. The charge,.berefore. was either made in 'liter ignorance ofanyfacts to support it, or else with tbe knowledge that

f the facts which do exi«t would, if made known, en

tirely disprove it. As to the source of this misera-ble vituperation, I have nothing to say. I nm afraidI shall be thought to have paid too mach attentionto tt already. Sir. 1 leave the author of the*e slan¬ders where be is.I leave him in the worst compa¬ny I know of in the world.I leave him with him¬self.

Thine* in Wnxhinstton.From Uur Regular Correspondent

Washington. April 23, ls46.MldnUhr.I mentioned in my letter this afternoon that Mr.

Webster was going North tins evening. He in-tended to do so, but its the o.aestion of Notice is not

yet settled he will remain lor to morrow. I haveno doubt that it will be settled to morrow in such a

siiape as to command a majority of both Bosses.Should it be so settled, Mr. Webster wid leave to-morrow afternoon.A great many members will make a Hying visit

home next week. From Thursday next there willbe little business transacted lor a week. As Con¬gress will not be in session for several days I mavmake you a visit myself of an h'ur or two. I cansave five or ten cents jostage by carry ing my ownletter.The Committee of Conference met this evening

and held a consultation about a compromise form of'Notice.' They have not yet nettled the matter batmeet to-morrow morning at lOj, o'clock for a finalarrangement, should u -y agree upon any form itwill probably pa*s the House the first tiling afterthe hour of meeting, !1 o'clock, and be ready lortbe Senate by the time of its meeting.12 o'clock.

I think it beyond doubt that the Committee willagree and that the Notice will tie precisely the samein substance as it passed the Senate. There may bea word or two altered, but in no case will the sub¬stance he altered from tbe anginal amendment ofthe Senate.The Committee, you will recollect, consists of

Messrs. Corwin. eutwood and Bkkrh..-., of theSenate, Messrs. C. J. i>GtR50Lt., Owe* and Hil-LtARD. ot the House. Of this Committee three areWhigs and three Loco Focos. There are threefrom Soothe-*; States, two from the West, one fromthe Middle, ^ud none from the EasL

I think I shall be able to send you the result byto morrow aftercoo:. fur your Friday's evening edi¬tion.

I bad the pleasure of examining, in companywith Prof. Espr. the " Storm King/' a new patentventilator which he has put up in the Senate. It wasmoderation daring the interesting performances ofThursdaybut including Mr. Ckitten'oeVs speech.The day was warm and the galleries were crowded,ye: the Hall was rather uncomfortably cooi. Thoughthere was little or no wind the ventilator was quiet¬ly carrying off about rOOO cubic feet of air per min¬ute.There is a conical chimney to the ventilator which

with any kind of a breeze thoroughly ventilates tbeChamber. When no air is stirring, a man turns aa wiee.^ which creates the necessary draught tocarry off B,000 feet of bad air per minute, leavingthe space to be rilled up with a fresh aopply. Thewheel is on the top of the building.There is little else worthy of being chronicledhere this evening, or at least worthy of a place inyour columns. Richf.liec.

Kxw Voxn. March 6, iSW.I have carefully examined Mr. Wilson s elementary

work fjr teaching French to beginners, and 1 am veryhappy to say that 1 am perfectly satisfied with it Thegreatest number of books of this kind are generally toovoluminous, and to the fault of discouraging the pupil,add that of embarrassing him. I should be happy to b>troduce into my institution a work which I think to beexcellent, but, as the French language is spoken by allmy pupils before s Grammar Is placed in their hands, Iuse none but French books. Iu all other establishmentsthis work will be of incontestable utility, and I shall tg.ways be most happy to recommend it (.Signed)
