New York, W: 2,aaa4. City Reform. We publish in our colums to-day a document is- sued by the Board of Supervisors, purporting to be n report made by two members of the Corpora- uon, on the subject of the taxes of the present year—the assessment rates—with all the particu- lars of the impoats on the property held inthis city. This document is ostensibly the mani‘esto of the new party in the Corporation, shadowing forth their principles and their views on city taxation.— {tis intended as a sort of reply to all those who have been finding fault with the present Corpora- tion, in consequence of their infidelity to those re- peated and solemn pledges which they gave before their election, not one of which they have redeem- ed in any way, except by the tying of tin pans to stakes around the Park Fountain, on the Fourth of July—the banishment of the apple women from around the City Hall, and the enactment of ordi- nances prohibiting all omnibus drivers, under the severest penalties, from looking behind This 1s,in fact, the official answer to all those who yet call out for more city reform, and who ask of the new party in the Corporation a fulfill- ment of their promises and pledges made to the people before their instalment into office. Well, what does it present? Let us examine past times. Ou looking over the records of the Corporation during the last few years, we have ascertained and compared the amount of taxation, the value of property, real and personal, and the population of the city in the years intervening between the pre- sent and 1836, and inorder to show the result, we annex the following table, in which the items have been obtained from authentic public documents.— ‘This table comprises a connected history of eight years, embracing periods in which the whig party ruled, the locotoco party ruled, and now the “na- tive” party. Here it is:— Assesezp Paorzaty or New Youu Crty—Taxes Levirp— Porunation. Personal. YORK HERALD. Real. Taxes. + $233,742, 303 196, 50.109 Popl'n. 194,545,959 196,778,454 187,121,464 + 186,347,256 176,512,342 By this statement, founded on accurate data, a development is affurded of the extraordinary fact, that with a [ess amount of real and personal pro- perty in this city, as compared with 1836, the taxes oi this year are nearly double what they were then. This extraordinary increase from 736 up to the present time, has been gradually growing under the corruptions of both partes, first under the whigs, then under the locofocos, then under the whigs, and then under the locofocos again—each party gradually increasing the burdens of the peo- ple of this city—gradually a little to their oppres- sions, uatl we elected a corporation, purely for re- form of those abuses—and what have they given us? A greater addition to the taxation of the city than ever any other party dared to impose! And yet with these palpable facts before us, we are present” ed with a naive document, admitting to the fullest extent the enormous increase of taxation, but with the most beautiful simplicity in the world, throw- ing the blame upen their predecessors. This is the old, rotten, decayed excuse of all parties who have proved traitors to their trust, and trampled on their promises, During the last few years, the uniforin outcry of all parties has neen, ‘Oh! it is, indeed, too true that your taxes are enormously increased, but it was all the fault of our rascally, corrupt pre- decessors!” In fact, the simplicity and naiveté of this documeat almost amount to the sublimity of impadence and arrogance. These men come into power under the pledge and promise of a reduction of the taxes at all huzards, and they have now the audacity to put themselves before the people as the advocates of a vastly increased taxation. Such is the ridiculous and unprincipled position in which these pretended reformers have come forward; and what do they give us now by way of pledge and promise when they are again before the people with candidates for re-election? Why, that they will put down the Pope of Rome—that they will check Bishop Haghes—that they will immo- late the Catholics! And will all this reduce the taxes which the people of this city have to pay out of the sweat of their brow and their daily toil 7 Will the bulderdash which is published and spoken and talked about that old ‘mbecile at Rome, be sufficient to satisfy the people of this city that those who have stepped into power on the faith of their pledges of reform, that these men have ful- filled those pledges by increasing our taxation? We do not believe tkat the peop'e of this city, or of any American city, lett to the dictatgs of their own independent judgment and common sense, will allow themselves to be duped by such conduct. And we are wiiling to abide the event whenever it may take place. Siveutar PourricaL Caucuations —The phi- losupher of the Courier and Enquirer in Wall street, has put forth several singular calculations oa the result of the elections that have taken place during the present week. The State of Ohio they claim for Mr. Clay and the whigs by a tre- mendous majority, and probably they may get it. But he claims Pennsylvania also, by a singular cal- culation, founded on a process which is perfectly new tous. The philosopher of the Cowrier argues, that it will be necessary for the whig party to be beat by 15,000 majority at least in this election, in order to carry the State for Mr. Clay in November. The same process is applied to the New Jersey election now pending, and if Thompson, the loco- foco candidate does not get 1,500 or 2,000 majority, the locofoeos are all gone; but if he does get it, then—and here’s the beauty of this new process in political calculation—then the State is certain togo for Clay in November. The clearness of this cal- culation—the conviction which it carries to the mind—cannot be paralleled in any books on the science of mathematica, unless we look into that tamous book published by Paddy from Cork, in which all the calculations are as “‘ clear as mud.” The philesopher of the Courier ought certainly to issue a treatise explanatory, of his system of phir losophy, for the use of schools and colivges, as it certainly puts us in mindof that same Paddy from Cork, facing a rain storm, with his coat buttoned behind. Sewers ror tue Ciry —We see from a message addressed by the Mayor to the Corporation, that a project is now on foot to build sewers for this city. Such # project to be of any use in sucha city as New York would involve tremendous expense, probably as much as that incurred in introdacing the Croton water. Besides, according to recent chemicai discoveries, a process has been ascer- tained by which all the accumulated filth of large cities can be disinfected and cunverted into the most valuable of manures. We have seen state- ments and calculations in relation to the utility and value of this process, from which it is apparent that @ revenue over and above all expenses of $300,010 per annum, could be derived from the application of this process to the common sewers and all such depositories of filth in this city. The old system of sewers is then quite too expensive, and, indeed, unnecessary a Danre. Wesster in Pennsyivanta.—Daniel Webster is stumping it in Pennsylvania at a very extraordinary rate. He has spoken at Philade|- phia—at Valley Forge—at Reading—at Potisvilie, and at we don’t know how many other places— sometimes at two placesin one day. This isgreat speed, almost equal to that of the Columbia rail road, and we only trust that there may be no ex- plosion. Itisdeemed and taken tor granted by our whig friends, that Mr. Webster's stumping it through Pennsylvania is going to carry that State jor My. Clay. Very weil, let’s wait and see if it does. Pouttica, Movements. —Twx Tammany Hatt Detxcares, to nominate members of Assembly, assembled last evening and selected Mr. Isaac B. Sarru, of the Ninth Ward, on the first ballot. A second ballot was made, but none of the candidates received sufficient votes to place them in nomina- tion. The delegation then adjourned till Friday evening next. Rus on tHe Ruopg {[stanp Banks —Some days ego, the celebrated firm in the Democratic raoks, known by the name and title offSlam, Bang & Co., put forth a powerful rallying cry of a call for specie on the Rhode Island banks. We have since been very curious to know the amount of notes which they have returned to these banks, and the amount of specie which has consequently left the vaults of those unfortunate institutions. But we rather suspect, after all, that that section of the locofocos can run their own bare legs a devilish sight better than they can run the Rhode island banks. And this is the project to get Dorr out of prison! A more egregious piece of absurdity never entered into any one’s head. O’Conneu.’s Fururs Opgrations.—We give to- day on our first page, the last speech of O’Connell, and a very curious one, in some respects, itjis. It will be seen that he is more violent and more un- disguised in his declarations than ever The agi- tation is to be more comprehensive in future, em- bracing England and Scotland. And the * main chance” is not forgotten. The “funds” are to be replenished, The scheme of a “ Preservative Assembiy” is very well devised. Each member is to contribute five hundred dollars before he takes hisseat. O’Connell never loses sight of the “ funds.” Ia this respect, he constantly reminds us of Jeremy Diddler, aud his everlasting—* Have you got such a thing as @ guinea about you?” OurraGes anp Riors.—We hardly open a paper from any part of the country, without finding the account of some outrage or riot, or murder, grow- ing out of political excitement. The gross person- alities—the slander—the scurrility—the viiupera- tion—the falsehood—the violence—the demo- ralization—which have characterized the present contest, are now bringing forth their fruits. This has been, in fact, for the last six months, a perfect saturnalia, folly, intemperance, violence, plunder and licentiousness, produced by political excite- ment. The only redeeming point about the contest, has been the appearence of the ladies at the public meetings and assemblages. And even this is pain- ful. The bringing the domestic feelings, virtues and habits, into contact with all the rudeness, vulgarity and licentiousness of the political arena, can, we fear, only mar the beauty of the former, whilst no salutary influence is exerted on the latter. VaLuaBLe Girr.—We saw yesterday a beau- tiful silver tea service, comprising a tea pot, cream pitcher, and sugar bowl, which are to be given to Captain Randall, of the steamer Wisconsin, of the Uy,per Lakes. This set is beautiful for its chaste- ness, and is a gift from the passengers of the Wis- consin, on her pleasure excursion on the lakes last sunmer. Fellow, Rudd, and Seudder are its makers, and they have done justice to the donors, as well as to the silver. Decision 1n a Patvate Maw Case.—It appears that Judge Randall, in Philadelphia, decided on Mouday. against James W, Hale, a private mail ruoner, for $2000, being for forty penalties of $50 each. It is said that the case will be carried up to the Supreme Court forrevision. That court may confirm this decision, and thus settle the powers of the Post Office department. Theatricals, Patmo’s.—The new and beautiful ballet went off, still better last night than on the previous occasion of its performance. The dances were deservedly much applauded. It is really the only thing of the kind ever got up in this city worthy of the name. The house was not so crowded as the entertain ment deserved, but still it was a very respectable house. We neticed Captain Robert Tyler, with his lady, and a number of leading fashionables in the front boxes. To-night the opera of I! Pirata is repeated, and another brilliant and fashionable house, of course. Tue Paxk.—Madame Oito made avery good impress/on in the first act of Cinderclla, which was introduced after Mr. Jones’ opera. She is a charm- ing voealist. Her benefit takes place tomorrow night, and it will, doubtless, be a bumper. Qc Dempster gives another Concert to-night at the Society Library Rooms. See advertisement. Musican Desutantes 1n Boston.—Mr. Sloman, the well known comedian, has been at Boston, with his two fine daughters, who made their debut there witt gzreat éclat. We find one of the papers apeak of them in the following flattering terme :— ‘The Concert on Saturday, by Mr. John Sloman and his gifted daughters, was entirely successful. The young debutantes abundantly proved their high musical attain. ments, and most auspiciously commenced a public ca reer, which, if we mi e not, will irked hereaiter by many triumph: h Miss Elizabeth Sioman is without a peer, whilst as and singers both sis- ters excel. ‘The father pos voice of fine flexibiti- ty and compass, and as an imitator ot other styles, is won- fertully happy. The narrative part of his periormance was exceedingly amusing, remarke, imitations, and songs being well iutroducad, his anecdotes weil ‘hit off,” and ollections” perfectly c! cteristic. Mr. Sloman, it will be recollected, is the father of the celebrated Jane Sloman, wnose wonderiul execution on the piano about three years sivce, 80 much astonished and delighted, but who soon terminated her public career by marriage." Be- tween three and four hundred attended oncert on Saturday evening—a goodiy number for “‘a first appear- ance,” and indicating an increased audience upon their next announcement. We all recollect the brilliant debut of the eldest Miss Sloman, as a pianist, a year or two ago in this city, and we are very glad to find that her sisters have been so successful in theirs. Indeed, we learn from every quarter that they promise to take a very high rank in the profession they have selec- ted. Mr. Garreav’s Concert.—Mr. Garreau, an artist of whom fame speaks very highly, and who has already gained many friends in this city, as well by his gentlemanly deporiment as by his fine musical genius, gives a concert at the Apollo Roams to-morrow evening. We had intendea speaking of the merits of this artist as they deserve, but fiod that the following, in the Evening Post, expresses so fully our own opinions, that we annex it at once, [From the Evening Post ] Mr. Ganaeau — his distinguwed violoncellist who has lately arrived irom Europe, advertises @ grand vocal and insuumental coucert for Thursday next, 10ib instant, at the Apolio Rooms, in which Le will be assisted by Messrs, Antognini, Sanquirico, Etienne, Sharfenberg, Rapeti and Aupick. Such an array of names would certaiuly secure a crowded house were not Mr, Garreau’s perform- ance a rnflicient attraction of itself, But this gentle has given prooft of bis bigh talents in some of our most fashionable musical circles, in one of ad the plewsure of hearing Mr. Garreau’s st iginal, and cannot be compared to the vivloncellists ve yet heard i this country, and in our opinion, it i it which bwst his flae and noble instrument, wm of al tforts is to reproduce the accents of the human voice hose thrilling vibrations which penetrate the soul ; tt is evident that he has taken his inspirations from Ru- and the most distinguished singers of our times 5 and itis hardly possible to hear his delighttul melodies with- out being moved to tears. His tones are full and of admi- raple precision ; and although sparing of those difficulties which are more astoniahiog than pleasant to the ear, he introduces, with great taste, enough of them in his pieces to show that he perfect master of his instrument n every respect. We have been shown his hand biil of the performances, which is a rich one, and we are happy to fod, amoug other beautitul pieces, a grond trio of May seder performed by M Garreau, which we hear (hese gentlemen, and whi r a 8.

Seventeenth Annual Exhibition of the Ame- rican Institute. The exhibition was opened on Monday at 12 o'clock, at Niblo’s Gardens, but it was mot until yesterday morning that any thiog like arr#ngement or order was obtained for the display of the various articles sent in for that purpose, and the continual arrival of others, made it impossible to be other- wise. Yet, notwithstanding, the exhibition was visited by several hundred on the first day, particu- larly towards the evening. On the left, from the entrance there is a great display of stoves and cooking apparatus of various kinds; opposite are placed several kinds of light carriages, with springs of a novel and improved nature; at the end of the room there is a most beautiful model of a pleasure yacht, together with some patterns of foot brushes; proceeding onward there is a great display of flowers, fruit and vege- tables, most tastetully arranged ; at the bottom end of the room some remarkably large pumpkins, equashes, and melons, together with a most beau- tiful specimen of a cotton plant. In the windows on the right and teft, are some beautiful specimens of transparencies and paintings on glass, of some of the principal events in the war of the revolution. Ta various parts of this room are hung cards with the following intimation:— “Wisely resiat temptations powers, ‘Taste not the {ruit—touch not the flowers, Be un examplar a aide At this great fair. ation’s pride.” The smaller room adjoining is appropriated to the display of cutlery, fire-armsy brass and tin-work of almost every description. in the principal sa- loon are displayed almost every kind of articles of clothing, glass, plate, lamps, chandeliers, book- binding, printing, cabinet work, harness, china and many other articles—altogether making a most gorgeous display. Around the gallery are placed pictures, paintings, engravings, drawings, draughts, sketches, specimens of needlework, paintings on glass, sign boards, beautiful specimens of veneer- ing and marble tops and slabs. {n the room at the end of the pelle » formerly occupied as the quarters of the City Guard, are hung come very fine specimens of Daguerrian and Photographic likenesses; beauti- ful miniatures, and plaster and ivory profi les. In the centre and around the room are displayed va- rious articles of clothing, needle-work, linen dra- pery, woollen and cotton cloths, in great abun- dance. The room beneath is devoted to specimens of machinery, in which there is a most beautitul steam engine, which supplies the power tor turning lathes, &c. Displayed in this room are some beau- tiul models ot marine and locomotive engines, turning lathes, and almost les descripuon of machinery; in the same room there are several sorts of matiragses and. beds—made of straw shavings, hueks of the Indian corn, wool, hair and feathers; also, a few agricultural implements. In the garden, on the side next the theatre, there isa most beautitul and powerful engine and appur- tenances, recently made for Company No. 44, called the “Live Oak.” It is ornamented with pink ribbons, on which are printed in letters of gold, ‘We extinguish one flame and cherish another.” In vatious other parts of the garden are the larger kinds of agricultural implements, and under the piazza, around the suloon, various kinds of dairy utensils and domestic articles; on the opposite side of the garden there is erected a long room in which are provided refreshments, fruits, sweetmeats, pastry, &c., tor those who may desire such. i This, when complete, will be one of the best exhibitions the American Institute has ever had, and will be well worthy of the extensive patronage of the public. There is little doubt but that it will be one of the,most popular lounges during the next fortnight. Indeed, it cannot be otherwise, for those who visit it once, wall desire to do 50 again and again, there being so many things to view that it 18 almost impossible to look at and examine them all at one visit, and trom which may be gleaned more information of the nature and extent of the arts aud manufactures, together with recent improvements therein, than the reading of some 50 volumes. Everything is expected to be in per- feet order this morning, when catalogues will be ready, which wall be a great assistance in viewing the different articles. On Monday evening there was a considerable number present, among whom were a great man ladies ~The gallery around the suloon was filled, and down the centre crowded with persons anxious to hear the intreductory address of Lieut, Gov Bradish. At the end of the room, just beneath the orchestra, was placed u portable plattorm and read ing desk. About halt past seven o’clock, the President of the Insutuuon, Gen. Tallmadge, took the chair. Alter some litle delay Gen Tavimavos said—Fellow-citizens, we are come this night to open the 17 h anniversars of the American Inativute, and Jam glad to meet you and my old friends en this occasion. At present itis only partialy complete; but in a short time will duplay what has been done to promote the arts and sciences during the past year. It is the great object of the Lastitution not to mix its proceed- ings up with politics, and the consequence is, that there are in connexion with it, the most able and taiented of wit ties — who centre round it like stars round the centre uring the continuance of the Fair, every endeavor will be made to make it as attractive as ;essible ; there will be on various evenings, different aidresses from some of the most talented of the supporters of the Institution, on ous branches of the arts and sciences ; atso tome good will be provided I will not delay you longer, but will ut once introduce to your notice, Lieut. Governor Bradish, (Cheers.) Lieut Gov. Brapisn then came forward and was re- ceived with considerable applause. He congratulated those present on the occasion of their assembling, and «x- pressed a hope that the fair would receive theie approba- tion and support. They opsned that place as the temple of industry, and art--of genius and skill: and to show what these and capital had done towards improvement therein during the past year This exhibition was not only interesting to the curions, but was the admiration of the philosopher and the patriot—it showed the triumph of mind over matter. (Hear, hear.) It showed what could be done by labor and ‘art, in which the patriot would find a diversity of taleat displayed, both in articles of ornament and ability—and it would show to him the progress the country had made in these improvements luring the past year, and also to develope the materials and resources of the country. These exhibitions are activity to our intercourse with all parts of the coun: try, and tended to bind together the community in firmer bonds, at the same time enablin, be independ- ent of foreign supply. (Applause.) The gentleman then Peseeenen to treat on the value of the division of labor ; fhe benefit of supplying ourselves with what we required; for when we sought from foreigners that which we re- quired, we were ut their mercy, and Card pint on our rosperity, while in the other case we had our prosperity in our own keeping. (Applause. He then pi led to show how this rendered the country safer irom foreign aggression or caprice, added to its wealth, and prosperity rendered the couytry great and glorious aud more respect- edabroad. He ten went to show that it was the duty of government to protect and promote this industry, and not by free trade cause a reciproeity which was ail on one side—(appleuse)—to the injury oftheir native land. He said there were persons who were desirous of having trade as free as air. The theory was very beautiful, but it was only suited to a Utopia of the im ation. Such a thing could never be in this world af it wes at mnt constituted. st never been, and could not intil man’s nature was changed; therefore it was best to take things as they were,even if it was a nar- rower field of action. Sf it was attempted, it would bri. g the laboring classes of this country to the states of the black bread eating serfa of the north, or to the condition of the pauper fed factory laborer in other parts. The gentlemen proceeded to argue that government had the ower or rightto protect the home manufactories—and hat if it did not do so, it neglected its duty. It was de- manded of them by the constitution. It wos forthis, in a reat degree, that the war of the revolution had its origin ¢ was for this that their sires fought and bled (Applause.) ‘The gentleman then proceeded to take a review of the rise and prog ess of the in -tituti sing @ high eulogy on the past and present officers, and recommended the government of this country to adopt similar means tu that of Fran the protection and promotion of native industry. Hi i there was no nation in the world that had the same facilities for making herself what she ought to be, and if they were only true to themselves und their country, they would become, what they were then only in name—a free and pendent nation. (Great ap plause, during which ntieman sat down.) Gen. Tattmanor returned thanks to the company for their kind and orderly attention. He also begeel to th nk the press for the friendiy feeling which 1 had ex- pressed towards the welfare of the institution. He ther invited those present to the gardens, to witness the dis- play of fireworks provided for the oceasion. _inaTew minutes afterwards, a fice dieplay of fireworks took pice, under the direction of Mr. Edge, which gave every satisfaction. Skconp Day.--On visiting the scene of the annual exhibition of his prosperous and useful institution, yesterday, at Niblo’s, the epectator could not but be etruck with the numbers who were pouring in, as well as with the almost incalculable variety of beautiful and useful, novel and ingenious productions of the man- ufacturing, mechanical, and scientific skill which abounded on every hand. The first effect pro- duced upon the spectator, is that of bewilderment; the mind is diverted from one object to another,and so vivid are the external impressions upon the senses that there is no cessationjof their activity, there is vo rest for the eye, norepose tor the observation ; there is nothing like flagging in curiosity, nor halt- ing between two opivion—simply because there 1* no time for repose or reflection to form an opimor «all; and itis only afte: the lapse of a considera ble period that the refle ive powers assume their force and proper balance and become fit to sit ir pidgment on, compare and scritimize the diversity # objects sirewed around. A detailed account of all these objects would necessarily occupy more time and space than could ne alloted to them in & newepaper; to undertake them in the present article, to 0 full justice to the exhibition of yesterday, would rally be a tailure, Yet, while a detailed and minute ee istoe formidable an uudertaking, and perfect would prove too dry for pleasant perusal, a sketch of the ieading features o1 the scene, acd the arrangements made to reuder it as effective as possible, may prove not uninteresting. Those who are acquainted with the well known Gardens ef Niblo, will recollect that immediate) alter entering from Broadway, the visitor finde himeelf in a spacions sparument, of such a length that the eye can scarcely see distiuctly toits further extremity. This is the great promenade, and on the present occasion is divided into two apartments by a temporary partition running across. That apartment next to the entrance, is occupied by va- rious interesting articles,which one cannot for the life of him pass without examining. On the right hand, a line of beautiful productions of the coach- building art—carriages, Waggons, and every kind of vehicles, some of them on improved principles— are laidout. Onthe left isseen kitchen ranges, culi- nary utensils and stoves of every shape and torm ; among the last mentioned classof articles there are some extremely handsome and symmetrical parlor stoves, such, for instance, as Lorton’s parlor stove, and w commodious coatrivance called the ‘House: wife’s Assistant,” well merits a passing notice. The next apartment is dedicated to ‘ Horticul- tural productions,” and a most attractive depart- ment of the exhibition it is, Roots and vegetables, cereal grains, fruits and flowers, pile upon pile gladden the eye. Pumpkins as. large as Jonah’s gourd, mammoth squashes and giant cabbagee, re- mind the beholder of the exceeding fertility and patent vegetation of tropical climes. The apples in piles, although not ‘in the midst of the gar- den,” look as tempting as ever apple seemed since the memorable day this fruit was first tasted in Eden. The peach too, and the pear, the grape in clusters, and their several relations in crowds, are beheld in social grouping —fit emblems of the gen- erous abundance which nature lavishes oa this favored laud. In other places in this room are tastefully placed other articles. of farming produce amongst the rest, cheese, butter, different kinds o! flour and meal, samp, and a choice assortment, of preserved fruits in bottles, than which, judging from appearance, nothing can be more perfectly treated. | s . After leaving this department a turning to the lett leads to a space, which altho gh entirely oc- cupied by several interesting articles, particularly of iron manufacture, we will not dwell upon, but continue our way a lew steps further, which bring us to that magnificent spectacle presented to the eye in the “Grand Saloon.” So various and so nume- rous are the articles exhibited in this section of the Fair, that before halt its circuit is performed, those first observed fade from the recollection.— Not to speak of minute description, there is no small trouble in forming a fair classification of the contents of this great emporium. All round the extended space,enclosed by the walls of the “Grand Saloon,” the visiter meets ojects that for the time absorb him; and when he has arrived at his start- ing point, he has the pleasing satisfaction of disco- vering that not until he has gone up and down, acress and back sgain; not until he has peered at pendant drapery, and scanned the tempting trans- formation of art imbedded in glass cases, and cabi- nets; displayed on transverse tables, aud loading adorned shelves; not until he has done all this, 1s he aware uf the extent, the diversity and the beauty of this accumulation of the productions cf American industry. There itis beheld in arti- ficial flowers, that in tint, in form, in organization, inall but vitality, rival those of Flora herself— there it is displayed in the most cunning and elabo- rate embroidery. Lace which might grace the looms of Lyons or Brussels ; cut glass of the most elegant designs, and in every form, from that of the common wine glassto the gorgeous chandelier ; musical instruments ; nautical instruments; opti- cal instruments ; mathematical insiruments ; speci- mensof medical research; others trom the fabora- tory of the chemist; stationary and books; orni- thological and chonchological collections; the most beautiful arid elaborate specimens of cabiner work. Of the hatters, milliners and boatmakers’ handiwork, and, if possible, what was finer sul!, « groupoft statuary, consisting of animal, human and mythological figures, aud various ornamental de- vices of the most pleasing kinds, from the establish- ment of L. Baronti. Ali these, and a vast number which we have no epace to enumerate, enguged the attention, and_held the senses spell-bound in that part of the Fair of the American Institute having for its locality the “Grand Saloon,” at Niblo’s. : ir Aya Connected with this, and forming a junction with it at one end, is another apartment, where there 1s deposited a great partict the curious, bulky iach Blery submitted for inspection. A few ouly of these we have time to enumerate, for ex- ample, printing and lithographie presses, patent el evating water wheels, brick moulders,double knife shiogle shaver, improved tlocks for shipping, vari- ous specimens of the plumbers’ art, wrenches, lathes, and what was universally admired, a hori- zontul double steam engine, frem the Novelty Iron Works, in full operation,and communicating motion to a corn mill, besides others of the many useful ma- chines onthe ground. In other parts of the Fair, there were samples of hardware, cutlery, clocks, carpenter's tools, house fittings, coach springs, fire arms, and an endless number of requisites, classec by those who ure cunning in such matters, under the general title of ‘small wares.” e have now gone over, in a very cursory man- ner, the greater part of the ground occupied by the exhibition; there still remains, however, a smali portion above stairs, to which the reader’s atten uon is most particularly directed, and which he should by all means visit, were the trouble ‘de monter en haut,” as we say in French, ten times as great. When you ascend the stairs, the coup d’ail at the saloon below is striking ; the infinity of ar- ticles, the groups, the motion, and dress of the spectators, the fixtures and decoratiens which adorn the walls, have a high charm for the looker. on, Around the gallery with which this part-oi the establishment is turnished, are hung specimens of embroidery and needlework, ot drawing, sketch- ing, penmanship, daguerreotype portraits, and many other masters. | "i Fab On leaving this position, your next visit is to the cloth room, which adjoins the gallery we have spoken of by a door, over which, in true busines style, a sign-board is fixed to catch the passing eye. The interior of the cloth room is not so unique ip its first serene to the observer, as other parts of the exhibition ; for, from the nature of the arti- cles it contains, it much resembles one of the dry goods stores which abound in every street. On a minute examination, however, the texture of the goods, the excellence and durability ot the various fabrics, and above all, the remembrance that they are of home production, and American manufacture, they acquire a great interest in the obgerver’s estimation. Amongst othergoods, we were particularly pleased with the excellent quality and color of the woollen cloths. Nothing indeed could excel the material or make of some samples of the woollen manufactured goods; of flannels, there were some pieces which any judge must pronounce perfect both in point of texture and durability. There were also woollens, de laines, barages, Orleans cloths, alpacca and para- matta do., damasks, cloakings; in cottun fabrics, there were ginghams, plain and printed muslin and calicoes, table covers, satinetts, dimity, &c. In addition to these, the silk goods and hosiery abounded, and were quite equal to the other des. criptions of goods, which, with perhaps the excep- tion of cotton printed goods, were not inferior to the manufacture of any country. In thus specifying a few of the pleasing objects, which are wow submitted for public inepection at the Fair of the American Iustitute, we have done so with a consciousness, that any description we could give must prove far short of the whole truth, and much less efiective in conveying an accurate impression of the scene, than a personal visit; @ step we beg to recommend to every one who has « relish for the production of industry, science and ingennity, and who sees with clearness, the vast scope which this country permits for their develop ment, City Intelligence.

Sporti: Trorrivo|Matcu over Tae Beacon Course Yus- TRRDAY.—A very interesting trot came off yester- day over the above course. It was certainly not, such a fine affair as the day previous, but from the the well known abilities of the different animals, | 4 more equal trio could not have been selected.— | Theattendance on the ground was very respecta- ble—not so numerous ason the previous day. The weather was most beautiful, and the course in good order, though rather dusty. The betting previous to the start was Sir William against the field, af- terwards 25 to 20 upon him, and some business was done at the latter figure. The match was @ purse andstake for $500—three mile heats, under the saddle. ‘H. Woodruff names b. Geo. Spicer names ch. 8. McLaughlin names £ &: Jersey Blue. ‘They were placed in the order above, and after afew Setemeyy went off for the first heat, Sir Wil- liam leading. closely waited on by Ajax, Jersey Blue some length or two behind, going round the bottom; when near the 4 Sir William made a bad break, und Ajax took tne lead, and before the other recovered, was some 20 or 30 lengths in ad- vance. Shortly after, the Jersey broke and fell behind. They came in in this position the first mile, it being completed in about 236). When near the j for the second mile, the Jersey came up, and Spicer made another bad break and came in at the end of the second mile in a very similar position to the former. They proceeded thus tor the third mile, not going very tast until near the 4, whee Hiram appeared to increase his speed, but nis horse so swerved from one side to the other, that he did not gain much on the others, as they proceeded in a straight forward course, being well together,but Ajax came home some 15 or 20 lengths in advance, the Jersey Blue near the distance. The betting now took a turn—it was 10to7 on Ajax, and 2 to 1 that he would take the next heat. At the start Hiram took the lead, though all were well together. When near the quarter, Ajax broke and Jersey Blue went in front, and the pace up the back stretch was most beautitul,all close together,so that a table-cloth weuld cover them, but near the top Ajax broke and fell behind, and Sir William went in front. [twas a pretty trot round the top and down the straight side, where Ajax made up a ood gap, but Sir William led home about, for the fret mile, two lengths in advance, in 2:38. At the bottom Jersey went up, and at the quarter they were all weil up together, but en neariog the halt Ajax fell off, and ere they reached the three-quar- tere was some 20 lengths at the tail end, Sir Wal- liam. apparently leading ; immediately after Sir William broke, but soon recovered his former po- sition and led home for the second mile. Up the back stretch for the third mile, when nearing the half, Ajax made a bad break, and it looked parr like a distance for him ere he recovered, whi threw Sir William again in front, and he main tained this position home, where Spicer reached some 3 014 lengths im advance, performing the heat in 8:9, ‘The betting previous to the third heat was about 10 to 8 on Sir William. At the start Spicer led, and up to the § mile they kept well together, but here Hiram made plays and shortly atter broke, but soon recovered ‘They made the first mile in this position, Sir William about three bret in front, and Jersey Blue about the same behind Ajax, completing the first mile in 244. They kept well together to the half, where it was a most beautiful and exciting trot. When tee the 3, Ajax ap- peared to gain on the others, and came in front, and on nearing the judges’ stand, he and Sir Wil- liam were abreast of each other, and round the bottom and up the back stretch they were pretty well thus, but after passing the $, Ajax broke, bur soon recovered, and at the end of the second mile, Spicer came in about three lengths in advance, MeLaughlin aboutthe same distance behind Hiram. It was now a still more exciting trot, and all war preparing for the final struggle. Rounding the top near the 3, Sir William broke, and Ajax came ip front and ied home until within about 20 lengths ot the desired spot, when he broke, amid a loud shout trom all present, and ere he recovered, Sit William was in front and home some three or four length: in advance, completing the last three miles and winning the stakes in 8:64 ° There was as much doue by those present in the betting way on the election as on the sport, it not more. All beis on Henry Clay were readily taker at evens, and there was an attempt to get some little odds, but it was “no go.” There were a tew hundreds staked on the result.

TriaL of THs New Currers.—The two new iron cutters, Legare and Spencer, propelled by the submerged screws of Hunter and Ericsson, have had their trial of speed and efficiency. What the result was,fis not yet publicly known. We hear it stated, however, that both will, in the mildest manner, be condemned as not suitable for the ser- vice of cutters. Let us have the official report, and see on what ground such a decision is made. It is to be hoped, however, that no such decision has been mada, and that both vessels were found to work well and efficiently. Gamatina, on Sporting Inreviicencr.—In our law reports, will be found a case which has been brought up before Judge Kent ; the result of which involves bets to the amount of $30,000 or $40,000 It has created much interest in the sporting world, and was the chiel subject of conversation amorg the sporting gentry on the Beacon Course yester- day.

M. There was 0 general smash to-day in the stockymarket Operations came very near prducing a panic among speculators, Fancy stocks were the principal ones affect. ed, and those which have advanced so rapidly within the past few days have experienced the greatest deoline. Stonington fell off 84 per cent; Long Island 1}; Can- ton 24; Mohawk 2; Harlem 2}; Norwich and Worces- ter 1}; Er’ Railroad 3; Reading Railroad 1 ; Farmers? Loan 1}; fennsylvania 5%, 1}; Obio 6's, g; Morris Canal }; United States Bank } ; North American Trust j ; Vexas Treasury Notes j. Indiana closed firm at yester- day’s prices, and Illinois advanced 1. The break down in the stock market to-day can be principally attributed to the accumulation of large amounts of stock in the nands of weak operators, purchased on time, who are compelled to sell at tho maturity of their contracts, for caeh, at the best prices current. Many of these contracis sometimes come due on the same day, and lar; antities of stock come upon the market, and often create a panic. It would not have required many more shares of stock to have been offered to-day to have created a pauic similar to the one experienced last June. Many operators retain avery vivid recollection of the 12th of June last, when Long Island fell off, in one day, 11 per cent; Norwich and Worcester 11; Canton 13; Farmers’ Trust 8 ; Hurlem 4; Stonington 6. Phe movements in the stock mar- et, for a few days past, indicated » very sudden exple- sion; the adv: a tro rapit to be healthy, but noone expected a collapse quite se quick.
