As will bo seen by our telegraphic report, the Legislature yesterday were not idle. They trans- acted a great deal of business, and are as indus- trious as four dollars a day can make them. We vory much like the bill introduced by Mr. Babcock in the Senate, making it the duty of the Attorney General to give his opinion, whenever required by the Legislature or by the State oflicers, and also limiting the powers of district attorneys to entera nolle prosegui in criminal proscentions. We pub- lish the bill under our telegraphic head. We have not as yet seen anything of the bill relating to pas- sengers airiving in New York, except by the an. Bu: if it is designed to break up the nest ofrunners, boarding nouncement in the regular proceedings. house keepers, snd vampires, that fatten on the poor emigrant, it will receive the hearty support of men of every party. The unholy organization which exists in New York, and Albany and Pufalo—in fact, on all our lines of travel to the West—lor the purpose of swindling the strangers arriving in this city, ought tobe broken up. To the di micsieners of Emigration, and its government ge- erally, the Mayor of Buffalo has been compelled to leave his oficial seat and come eastward, to beg, in the name of humanity, of the authorities of Albany to adopt some moasures to check the evil in that city. which is the fountain head of the evil complained of, where an organization exists that is a disgrac He ought to come to this city, not only to New York, but to the whole country. We perceive by a telegraphic despatch, that the friends of the Union and the constitution in Georgia, have called a mecting at Savannah, for the pur- pose of organizing for the fall election. Georgia, no doubt, is all right, in so far as the Union is con- cerned, General Scott's Nomination in New York. ‘The nomination of (jeneral Seett, as the whig candidate for the Presidency, by the Pennsylvania State Coavention, bas created a profound sensation in this community. The publie, thé”Politioians, and the press, have in some measure been takén by surprise at the proceedings of the Lancaster Coa- vention. This eurpriso—this sensation—has been eawed as fiteh by tho announcement of the plat form on which Meneral Scott is to run asa eandi- date, ax by thetromination issolf. The Journal of Commerce“ta discontented and disappointed; the Courier and Enquirer is thunderstruck and silent; the Ty ibune, the special organ of Wm. H. Seward, ie ratisfied with the platform, and is resigned to Scott in silence; the Lxpress submits to the nomina- tion, but grumbles at the practical understanding put by Governor Johuston on the platform of the convention which nominated him as candidate for the governorship. The nomination of General Scott, and the con- struction of the platform on which it was made, | under the circumstances in which the country is | new placed, ought not, however, by intelligent and far seeing people, to be looked upon as “a hasty plate of soup” in political movements. It is no such thing. The events of the last fifteen or twenty | have been tending to such a new direction— year to euch a new era as this country has now reac Let us taste the rew soup. balf a century, the anti-slavery States of this Union—or, in other words, the free States—possess, ander the new census, a vital and decided ma- jority in both branches of the national Con gress. For half acentury er more, the policy of the general government, both domestic and foreign, has been shaped and formed by the Matermen of the Southern States. A change, hower has been gradually effected by the extra- @rdinary increase of population and territory.

A new race of statesmen, and a new policy, have been planted throughout the free States, and both houses of Congress will be governed and regulated by influences springing from anti-slavery impulses, for all time to come. ‘The consequences of this new condition of public affairs we may calculate at our leisure. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. The World’s Falr in London—Opening of the | Large Commission Warehouse, by Prince Albert, in Hyde Park. ‘The London press is very properly and naturally sarcastic, as the American press is unnecessarily and unphilosophically sensitive, with respect to the American department of the World’s Fair, The English journalists may be wishing to pay us off for the terrible fright into which they were recently thrown by the apprehen- sions of revolutionary disturbances; but we sus- pect that the origin of'so much spirit against our Ame- riean exhibitors lies cireumseribed rather more within the limits of business tact and considerations, of various commercial kinds. However, we are not at all chagrined at the measure of censure produced by the American portion of the exhibition. It is all quite right, and easily to be explained. When Napoleon said that England was a‘ nation of shopkeepers,” he was very near the truth, and it was an evidence of his foresight, to indulge in such an observation. All that was wanted, however, was for royalty itself to go into business, to make the remark the very epitome of the nation’s cha- racter. Thishas now become a certainty. Prince Albert and Queen Victoria have opened shop, and started in business, in Hyde Park, on an extensive seale. Prince Albert invested fifty thousand pounds of his own funds in the speculation, and Queen Vic- toria, the royal shop-woman, contributed the whole stock of her influence towards drawing customers, and, if reports are true, has been in the great shop daily, to help the trade along. The Medici family, n their day, were royal merchants, but the firm of Prince Albert, Victoria & Co. are more majestic shopkeepers still. Their business establishment— the profits of which ought to be applied to the pay- ing off the national debt—is a great commission warehouse for the whole world, and may be deemed a brilliant businoss thought, at the same time that it is used as a great barrier to any revolution Within the last ten years preparations have been | made for this Great Fair, though the English people were little aware of it. They have had, one by | one, the old fairs of Bartlemy, Greenwich, and the like, takenaway from them. Indeed, as early as George the Feurth’s reign, statutes were made to | abridge the enjoyment of the inhabitants of Lon- don, in their favorite booths, at the fa'rs, withinten miles of the city—and, step by step, encroachments | have been made on the old festive days, till, for security’s sake, and to appease the people, the big cent a sop to Cerberus as was ever invented. Any- thing less business like would have been a failare— and as England is an empire only held togethor by the common sense of the shopkeepers, it was ne- cessary for ’rince Albert and Queen Victoria to turn shopkeepers, too, in order to show the doctrine of equality, in the virtual condition of the most ele- vated personages in the nation. This is the philoeophical view of the World's Fair —to carry out which, on mercantile principlos, every nation on the face of the earth has been placed under contribution. How the p2ople will be ap peased, in future years, for the loss of their cus tomary fairs, of which they have been most un- handsomely deprived, of course will remain a deli- cate question for those connected with the English government. Something, every philosopher will concede, will be necessary, in the shape of an exeit- ing display, to keep down those spoataaaous exhi- bitions of the people, which are more dangerous than profitable to the government. We trust that all will be well, for revolution at Monchester, Sal- ford, Leeds, or Birmingham, would be disastrous to the poor inhabitants, whose average wages, in good and peaceful times, is only eighteen pence or two shillings a day, without board, or from thirty-six to forty-eight cents. American workmen are better off. The conforts and luxuries of life are cheap here, and workmen receive from one hundréd to one hundred and twenty-five cents per diem for their servie Of course, discontent is a more rational emotion in England than it can be inthe United States, where industry can make itsolf happy and respected, Now, with regard to the American department of the World's Fatr, we have a word for our fijends across the water. The contents of that section of the show is the refuse and rubbish of a few of our less fortunate artizans, shop- | keepers, and manufacturers, who have not bad too great a plenty of custom and employment at home. Whatever has been sent there, was sent for the purpose of advertising, precisely as our shopkeepers here have made use of the Ame- rican Institute at Castle Garden, for the last fifteen years. This Institute is organized on the same sys tem as the World's Fair, and those who wish noto- riety deposit their wares in the annual exhibition— which is only an advertising machine—and hunt out reporters and editors for the purpose of getting ad- vertisements gratis in the public journals, in some other than the ordinary channel. It is precisely so | with those Americans who bave appeared in tho | World's Fair. They hoped to get their advertising done gratis, and to gain some factitious importance from European puffs. This is the sole reason why any- thing Americah is in the Exhibition. Our artisans, manufacturers, and traders, have had a demand for | everything that they could produce, for the California, | market, and all that has been left en hand is rab- bish, some of which has found ite way into the large shop in Hyde Park—we mean the Crystal Palace. We are sorry that Prince Albert, Vistoria & Co., in their firet business reason, should not have de- rived more advantage from their cousin shopkeepers in the United States, in the way of per centages. It would have been but kind to have added to the plearure of the royal shopkeepors. have been glad to have known more respectable epecimens of our ar of our live « and Fourier school, distinguished in white coate, old boots, and dog- eared literature, It isto be regretted that the London press can find nothing in the American department to praise The English journals, of course, are bound to pulf | the wares of the royal shopkeepers—Prince Albert, | Victoria & Co.—and to speak handsomely of every- thing cxcept our rubbish, saved from the rush of ex- ports to Califowia.? It is quite right that a new | firm, starting a large commission, business, and in correspondence with the whole world, should ro- | ceive full encouragement, particularly as they may be able to pay off, with the pre ome portion of | that national debt which oppresses the toiling mil- , and even darkens the sun—by the window tax—with sovereigns, and will not let pappies go { paying respect to the treasury and the crown We don h any censure to the London jour pe ome manner in which they have shop in Hyde Park.

The probability | is, that riots will grow out of this attempt to force | public taste to the verge of folly. On two distinct | occasions, in this city, persons who had adopted this | costume were in. danger of creating serious disturb- | ances, and such a disgraceful effect was only pre- | vented by the parties in the new costume running | away, and getting out of sight as quickly as possible. | In small country towns or villages, these Abby | Kellys may puton or put off what dress they choose, | and no disturbance may ensue, unless it should be ; manded on transient newspapers, and the effect of the disgust of the birds of the air and of the brutes _ of the forest; but the attempt in our large cities | will lead to riots one of these days. The preten- | sions made about the beauty of the so-called Turk- ish dress, are preposterous. No condition of breeches can compete in elegance and grace with the present female style of dress in vogue, which is full, flowing, | and graceful in its sweep, and admirably calculated to exhibit a graceful deportment, where there is any. ‘The Romans and the Greeks well understood the beauty of full and flowing robes, which theyswore with the utmost skill and care. An orator—a co- temporary of Cicero—killed a man for disturbing | the folds of his garment ; and this fact shows how — much importance, among the Romans, was at- tached to the subject of costume. All the statuary | of Greece and Rome is marked by the long robes of , the females—certainly the most clegant and appro- | priate costume for ladies. As for the dragging in the dirt, that is wholly owing to the negligence of | the wearer. Look at the grisettes on the boulevards | of Paris. How gracefully they manage their cos- | tumes, even in wet weather, displaying their small _ feet and prettily turned ankles, while they escape — all the dirt of the promenades! A French lady, on the Champs Elysée, indicates her taste and skill by | the management of her costume, as much ag she could in a dance at the Tuileries. She passes over the dusty or soiled pavement with an instinctive | avoidance of everything that can soil her garments, | and, in doing this, she displays remarkable grace and tact. On our Broadway it is quite another thing. The ladies, with some exeeptions, walk along without the slightest attempt to escape the | dirt, and seem too indolent to be graceful, and too inactive to be neat. Every skirt is draggled in the dust, and the hands, instead of being employed in | any graceful exercise, are pinioned to the waist in | one unvarying attitude of sameness. Here is room | for reform. | Tne Corrt Manian or Gexenau Tavcorr.— | ‘The court martial at Washington, now holding its | session on charges against Brevet Brigadier General | Talcott, consists of five brevet major generals, namely, Twiggs, Wool, Persifer F. Smith, B. Riley, and Gibson, and five brigadier generals, ramely, Walbach, Churchill, Totten, Clarke and Childs, besides some other officers, who wiil, no doubt, dispose of the afair in a way that will maia- | tain the dignity of the public service. As far as we understand the charges—which may all be re- | solved into ene—there is a frivolity in the whole affair. The question appears to be between the Secre- tary of War and General Talcott, with respect to some distribution of patronage. ‘The Secretary of War is a politician, little versed in the etiquette | and privileges of those whom he nominally com- | mands, and it is much“ore reasonable to suppose that he has blundered in his business, than that a veteran like General Talcott should overstep the | rules of military honor and discipline. The whole thing looks like a little spite ef the Secretary of War, because he could not have a finger in a con- tract pie, after the modern style of cabinet manage- ment. At any rate, the charge is a ridiculous one, | as it appears in the specifications, which are long | enough to cover the delinquencies and peccadilloes | of a whole cabinet. What meansall thisjealousy | whers contracts are in the way—where claims are | on thetapis? Why is there such a scrambling ia the cabinet? We shall not soon forget Mr. Secretary Corwin’s flounderings among fees and perquisites, in connection with claims, and we shall have to keep an eye on Mr. Secretary Conrad, if, on small ard insignificant grounds, he makes war without cause, on account of a simple contract, ona velgran in the public service. The question, however, is in able hands, and will be properly investigated by the intelligent officers who have been called upon to decide upon it. We have little doubt that they will do this fri- volous business full justice. | Arcnsisnor Hvenes at Home.—The arrival | of Archbishop Ilugher, after his European tour, | has created much interest in various quarters, and | there will be a desire to hear him in hie first essay in the pulpit, since his visit to the Eternal City. He will, of course, deliver a very important dis- j course next Sabbath, in the Cathedral, with regard to his experience and observations, in his recent visit to Pius the Ninth. A full report of his speeches at the recent banquet given him at Liver- pool, will be found in our colamns elsewhere. | Bisbop Hughes’ views on any subject are very | curious for the antique style and character of thought which they contain. In the tenth or eleventh century, he would have been more at home than he is in the present age. Ile lives in a | kind of fabled land of religion, drawn from the his- torical outlines found in the middle ages. One thing, however, will be expected here. At the banquet in Liverpool, he disavowed democracy and democratic principles, and stated that the church had no sympathy or congeniality with ¢emo- cracy. This is a hard doctrine for Americans, who believe that all persons are sinners on a common platform, and that all have an equal right to seck ealvation—the very essence of democracy. Independent of an exposition of his views on the democracy of the church, the congregation and friends of the Bishop will particularly wish to ascer- did not euceeed in obtaining the Car- Ile iscertainly as much entitled to one The cost dinal’s hat. as Cardinal Wiseman, or any other man. of such a hat, it is said, in the way of foes, is only abcut forty eight thousand francs.

Mr. Fillmore has been to Eastern Virginia to eat oysters, Mr. Webster to Central Virginia for the waters of the mineral springs, ané the Postmaster General, Hall, has sveaked after them, neglecting his duties at Wash- ington. Never did this country have such a wretched manager, as the latter is, of post office matters. By the instructions sent out from Post- master Hall’s department, American newspapers can no longer be sent to Europe or California The circulation is entirely prohibited. Only think of a postage of fifteen cents for a single newspaper to England or San Francisco! That is the rate de- it will be to give the London Times and other Eng- lish journals, the entire monopoly of American news in London, and elsewhere in Europe. Ameri- can newspapers will seldom reach there. Is the Postmaster General out of his senses ? Musical Matters and Movements. throughout the eountry, is greater, and of a more elevat- ed character, than at any former period. Among the distinguished names, even in the department of vocal music, are some whose musical triumphs have been of the highest order, We have not space to allude to all who rank highly in their profession; but it is proper to an- nounce what may be expceted from the great vocalists among us, during the present and coming season. The Italian Opera company of Maretzck, at Castle Gar- den, already comprises the chief portion of Marti’s cele- brated Havana troupe, and many of the favorite per- | formers of the Astor Place establishment. The orchestra consists of eighty well chosen performers; there are thirty-five well trained singers in the chorus, and a com- pary comprising, among others, Bosio, Traffl-Benedetti, | Caroline Vietti, Miss Whiting, Bettini, Salvi, Lorini, Forti, Marini, Beneventano, and Coletti. tenors, besides bass and barytone voices, three soprant, and one contralto—and that a useful and powerful one, Bettini has a fresher voice than Salvi’s, and sweeps all before him, as if by magic, Before the season closes, other names may be added, and Marie Maberlini, the new star of Genoa—of whom we shall say more hereafter —will soon be on her way, and, perhaps, appear at Castle Garden, where the whole tide of musical enthusiasm sets in regularly evening, to the delight of those who seek a solace from the carking cares of a sun-seorched city.

On arriving at the main gate which forms the entrance to the church, the students spparated. on each side to make way for the faculty and others con- nected with the seminary to pass on, thereby reversing the order in which the procession had marched down. Divine rerviee commenced about half-past ten, and the singing was executed perior manner by some hun- dred voices, The service was lengthy, and such as to im- press the listener with @ holy reverence for the place and the oceasion, The Right Rev, Bishop Hopkin, of Ver- mont. delivered an impressive address, principally as an exhortation to the clergy and graduates of the Seminary to persevere in the cause they undertaken to propagate—to regard all the obstacles which they would meet with, a¢ so many trials of their religious strength and fidelity; to endeavour to raise the practice of the ministry as nearly as possible to what had been the Apostolic ehatacter, and not to allow any divirione among them to interfere with the faithful di charge of their duties as ministers of the goapel.
