By reference to the despatch from our special Al- "pany correspondent, it will be seen that the Senate ‘Committee on Commerce yesterday reported in favor of the bill relative to wharves and piers, and recom- tended the selection of Messrs. Millard Fillmore, R. ‘H. Watworth and Wm. C. Beuck, as Commissioners, at a salary of five dollars per diem each, with travel- Ung expenses, to establish the water jine of the East river in this city and Kings county. The bill for the eonsolidation of Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Bush- ‘wiek, was favorably reported, and will pass. Quite ‘an-animated though brief debate took place between Messrs. Babcock, Cooley und others, with regard to ‘the Niagara Ship Canal bill. The objectiens of the “first named gentleman to the schemes alleged by ‘him to have been resorted toby the projectors of this ~work it is hoped will be speedily eradicated, for the interests of not only our own but various of the ‘Western States demand tle early construction of the canal. The Senate spent most of the day. in the con- sideration of the Appropriation bills. Little was-done inthe Assembly besides reading and passing bills. The Judiciary Committee re- ported that the Legislature had no right to under- take the impeachment of officers whose terms have expired, or of present incumbents whose alleged abuses occurred prior to their present term. The specifications of the Champlin Committee against Mr. Mather itis expected will come up for discus- sion to-day. The debate upon the subject will pro- bably last till after the Fourth of July. Notwithstanding the various impeachment move- ments of the Assembly, hopes are entertained that the Legislature will actually adjourn in the course of week or two. A resolution was last Tuesday adopted by the Senate-to adjourn on Friday, thus proving that some degree of thought for the interests of the peo- ple-exists in that body at least. Now, although théy are aware that-there is a reported deficit in the State treasury of about one million of dollars, and that, guch being the case, their per diem allowance must be drawn by taxing the pockets of their constituents, it is doubtful whether the Assem- blymen will be willing to retire to the shades of private life so soon es fixed upoa by the Senate—never- theless, it is gratifying to observe that the New York delegates have moved for an early adjourn- ment, to-morrow week, and it is sincerely hoped that they may succeed in thus carrying out the desires of those who elected them. The extra session has al- ready been elongated to treble the length for which there was any necessity. The principal object for which it was called, the settlement of the Canal question, has been accomplished. All has now been done that is probably intended with regard to the Mather and other impeachment cases, except so far as talk is concerned; -and the Appropria- tion, New York Park, and Railroad Accident bills, the only matters of real and immediate impor- tance, can be disposed of in two days if our le- gislators are so inclined. No substantial reason ean be adduced why an adjournment should not take place on to-morrow, as proposed by the Senate. Then why procrastinate—why will any member lend him- self to keep up the do-nothing system of legislation for the paltry sum of three dollars a day? In order that our readers may fully understand the various propositions now pending in the Legislatare for a new park in this city, we to-day publish the bills intggduced by Mr. Morgan in the Senate and Mr. Noble in the Assembly. The former is approved by Mr. Cooley. We learn from Washington that Secretary McClel land will leave for Michigan to-morrow, and that Postmaster General Campbell will attend to the affairs of the Interior Department during his ab- sence. Decapitations are reported to be going on by the wholesale in the departments. Our despatch gives the names of a large number of clerks who have been removed, and remarks that more are ex pected to be made to day. The onts contemplate get- ting up a procession by way of celebrating their discomfiture. The steamship Georgia, from Aspinwall, via Ha- vana, arrived yesterday morning, with over two mil- lions one hundred and forty-one thousand doll%rs from California. The letters from our Panama aud Havana correspondents, together with the South American news brought by this steamer, will be” found very interesting. Our Buenos Ayrean intelligence, brought by the ship Margaret Eliza, Captain Adams, and published in this paper, is of a very lat te. It will be found of avery interesting character, both as regards the social position and political prospects of that portion of South America. The blockade of Buenos Ayres was stil] continued, the sittings of the peace negoti- ating commissioners had been interrupted, and pro- visions were enormously dear. The report of a na_ val engagement in the neighborhood of Martin Gar- cia is confirmed. Commander Peteluga, of the ship Chacubnca, had been killed in it. From Montevideo we are informed of a revolt in the province of Entre Rios, and it was reported that General Don Crispin Valasquez had been defeated by the insurgents. ‘Some of the journals contain most bitter articles upon the personal character and intentions of General Ur quiza. Mr. King, a passenger by the Margaret Eliza, has furnished us with a letter containing a clear synopsis of the proceedings at Buenos Ayres, which we also publish. Late accounts from British (Guiana state that a battle was recently fought between two tribes of Iu- dians at Berbice; the slaughter, however, was not very great, only eight having been killed, and nine Wounded. Mexsures had been taken by the authori- ties to prevent further hostilities. Strenuous efforts are being made at Georgetown to induce immigra- tion. The bounty to emigrants has been advanced to tuirty dollars; and, as a farther inducement, company bas been formed with the intention of building a line of steamers to ply between that place, Demerara, the Cau Isles, &e. It is belived that Santa Anna intends portant pific ations in the new tariff aking im- of Mexico owing to the fact tha! he has prohibited its publica tion at Vera Cruz. Bome vnensiness bas been created in Charleston, in consequence of the al here of the steamship James Adger, wih om that port on Satur day aftervoon. Our down-east fishermen re, it is reported, becom: ing somawhot excited, becanse the government has not stationed +« f war in the Bay of St. Lawrence, to protect them from the alleged in sult and abuse of British officials. They assert that if the administration does not intend to look after. their interests, they desire it to make gach fact known, in order*that they may prepare: to take care of themacives. Really, this looks like a small speck of war; but if they can only manage to Kecp cool ® Little longer, we undorstand that they deem him. Jace. The steamer Ocean, while on her way from Boston to Hallowell last Tuesday night, ran ashore on Thask- ery Island. At last advices it was thought she would prove an entire loss. The passengers, freight, furni” ture, &c., were taken off by two steamers bound for Boston. The Ocean was valued at seventy thousand dollars. According to the latest returns the people of Rhode Island have decided against holding a convention to revise the State constitution bya very large me- jority. The stock of cotton ‘aow on hand at New Orleans is seventy-eight thousand bales. The receipts con- tinue very light, but prices are unckanged.

The Cunard steamer Africa is now fully due at this port, with three days’ later European news. The City—Its Present Condition—Its Pros- pective Magnitude, It is certain that this is a city: of extraordi- nary advantages and prosperity—now increas- ing in wealth, in trade, in population, in luxury and the means of human enjoyment with a rapidity unsurpassed, perhaps une- qualled. The power, energy, activity, intelli- gence, as well as variety of its people, make up a mighty picture of human association, and present a demonstration of the effect of institu- tions really free which removes all doubt of their excellence. But wisdom, forethought and public spirit. as well as enterprise and industry, are neces. sary to secure and render most good for the whole the advantages which we enjoy. Selfish- ness and sordid feeling must in some degree give way to public virtue, and private mono- poly to general good, or general happiness and general comfort will not flow from the best of nmnicipal blessings. The city now presents a sad spectacle in the general want of confidence in many of its present administrators. In the estimate formed of these officers and their conduct and motives, and inthe causes of the evils now existing, assigned in the public mind, there may in some degree, though not wholly, be much error. The commerce and financial and mechanical business of the city are immense—employment for all classes, from the lowest to the highest, and at high prices, in demand—a ready market for every production, wealth is flowing in from every quarter. and improvements, from private enterprise, are developing in every direction. ‘ Yet, in public matters, though expenses be- yond all precedent, in every department. are incurred, corresponding benefits do not follow. The amount drawn from the city treasury for street cleaning is immense—yet the streets are extremely filthy. The amount expended for gas and oil to light the streets is immense—yet they are not well lighted. The amount paid for street repairing and pav- ing is beyond all precedent—yet where is the city more wretched in its pavements? The amount paid for market accommodations is vast —and what markets more miserable in their ap- pearance and deficient in accommodations than the Washington Fulton and Catharine Markets? The universal cry is relief for Broadway and to and from the lower wards of the city—yet what measures are taken, what bold and large measures, adequate to the exigency, have been adopted? Examine the position and snperfice of this island. It is surrounded by water, and with natural resources on each river to accom- modate shipping of every class quite up to Harlem on one side and Spuytenduyvil on the other. Including its daily influx of strangers full 700.000 persons every day are accommo- dated and are abiding within its limits. It is sing in permanent population at the rate 000 per annam; in superfice, northwards between ten and twenty blocks or streets seross the island per year. Where, then, will be the city in fifly years more, and what the conveniences of its people, unless due measures be now taken to secure them comfort in their business? The present City Hall is now fifty years old; when it was built it wae deemed by many too far up town for needful convenience, The dense portion of the city then was as ‘ar as Leonard street. On the like ratio of increase where will be its boundary fifty years hence? Let a new municipal hall be erected at c? near Madison square, or above it; let a jndi- cial hali be erected at an appropriate pl the npper part of the island; let the pi City Hall be employed for a custom honse, and the post office he moved to the same vicint let Canal street and Chambers street be cut through, cach on a straig ¢, to the Baet river; let the Third aven xlended on a straight line to Chatham strec 1 Hadson street to F lway; let West str idened eb to the hun tery, and the rai 1 on that et; 1 ilar to the London docks, be blished, aa far as requisite from the Battery northwardly, and the city would well be relieved of its want of street ac- commodations. A struggle shout railroads or no railroads to relieve the pressure would be found unnecessary, the upper wards would not have to pay tribute im expense and inconve- nience to keep property 'n the First ward at an unnatural value, nor the stroets torn to picecs to from red to six venne tl the cars, with their frei a line of d succersively rt by the unnecessary carriage toand fro of goods here only in transitu. It may be said that these improvements 0 » the streets would fall too heavily on the pr 9 perty affected by it. If so let a full portior , of the expense be borne by the city at larg ._i¢ could well afford it for improvements * » yni- versally beneficial. It may be said thr 4¢ these measures would be of a magnitude too Jarge in cost and operation, It is to be re membered that the city is now a metropolis of magnitude, and that evils and difficulties whit sh exist and are increasing without them are those of mag- nitude, and that a narrow. ur gyise, or selfish policy must cause extensive ° .nd perpetual in- jury of magnitude. It may be said that now, * ¢hen taxes have in- creased at so fearful @ rate. the city cannot afford te incur a heavier; burden. ‘To this it may be answered: let ¢sompetent and prudent as wel as honest men e elected to office; let the ‘systems of cleaning streets, of lighting strects, of paving streets, of repairing them, of erscting and repairing public buildings, and docks, and piers, be those of economy as well as honesty; let the idea of public agents sympa- ‘wthising beyond their duty with public money be discarded; let wisdom, and care, and civic virtue reign in our public councils. and soon will the taxes diminish, and means will be at hand for improvements even of magnitude. Extravagance and meanness are close allies; economy and justice are intimate; prosperity cannot flow from prodigality; fidelity and truth can and will avail against fearful odds. There cannot bea doubt that wise and good agents can raise this city to be the first in comfort and the first in public virtue, as well as the first in prosperity, in the world. Tue Leanper’s Reception at New York— THE Norra Srar’s Reception at Sovraamp- tox.—A good deal of virtuous indignation is being expressed in certain circles at the recep- tion of the British frigate Leander by the city of New York. It is said—and we are bound to admit the truth of the assertion—that when the United States frigate St. Lawrence went to Southampton, -with our contributions to the London Crystal Palace, she was received with the highest honors the municipality could be- stow. Her officers were feted. the vessel was visited, and evéry soul on board was the object of a frank and large hospitality. Again, when the yacht North Star anchored in the same port the authorities tendered the same civilities to her owner. He was invited to dinners, compli- mented in the newspapers, and flattered by every attention which kindness and policy could suggest. On the other hand, when the Leander arrives here, with the Royal Com- missioners to our Crystal Palace, the event is barely noticed in the papers; no civic reception is extended to her officers or passengers ; and to crown the contrast. the captain loses several of his best hands by desertion, and is compelled to pay one dollar per ton for water. On the one side, we see an open-bearted generous welcome offered to American ships in a British port; on the other, a reception, in which indifference and sulkiness seem equally mingled, bestowed on a British vessel in the port of New York. If we add that one or two obscure prints have not scrupled to suggest that the latter was deliber- ate and intentional, and that the bulk of the American people have looked upon the Leander and her passengers with positive feelings of dislike, we shall have done full justice to those who now complain that the city has been guilty of gross rudeness and inhospitality. We have no intention of playing Sbrigani to the Leander’s Pourceaugnac, and “apologizing on behalf of the city.” Respectable men can entertain but one opinion in regard to the re- ception of the Leander ; whatever the British captain may say or think on the subject. every one of us must regret that it did not partake of a character more honorable to us and gratifying to him. We are. however, fortunately enabled to give such an explanation of the occurrence as will at once convince the most thin-skinned “Brit- isher” that it can in no degree be ascribed to national prejudice or ill-will. For several years past the municipal authorities of this city have been in the habit of extending a large and noble hospitality to the distinguished foreigners who have visited us. Considerable sums of money have been spent to do them honor, and none of those who have accepted our proffered civilities can assert that our purse was stinted or our welcome meagre. On the strength of such re- ceptions the city of New York earned a proud name for the magnificence of its civic festivals and its lavish hospitality. It was the boast of this community that no king or potentate could pay more distinguished honors to a deceased patriot or an illustrious stranger than ourselves. All this. however, was one day discovered to be prodigal extravagance, serving no salutary purpose, and arising solely from the innate de- pravity of the men who filled the highest muni- cipal stations. Hospitality was declared to be another term for peculation. and civic ceremo- nies were pronounced a wanton waste of money. A Jaw was passed in the State Legislature en- acting that the city should not be suffered to appropriate the public money for such pageants save only on three national aaniversaries, This law was formally ratified by an immense major- ity of the people of New York. It was, in short, their deliberate sentiment, as expressed at the polls, that we have had enough of civic recep- tions and publie fétes. and that it was inexpe- dient to repeat them hereafter. . It was with this law and this vote before them that the Common Council of the city saw the frigate Leander, with Lord Ellesmere on beard, enter the port of New York. They well remembered the reception of the St. Lawrence at Southampton under similar circumstances. The very papers which announced the arrival of the Britieh vessel] contained the accounts of the generous welcome offered to Commodore Vanderbilt. To say that the first impulse of the Common Council was to imitate so worthy an example is merely to give them credit for the ordinary feelings of men. But the law—there it was, in plain, uneqnivo- cal language, forbidding anything of the kind. Around them, on all sides, they heard them selves branded as thieves and robbers on the very ground of previous receptions of a similar nature. Whole vocabularies of expletives had been exhausted in consigning them to infamy for having expended the public money for civic celebrations. Under the circumstonces, what could they do but suffer the Leander’: arrival to pass unnoticed ? : They did so; and, as might have, been ex- pected, the very men who were the loudest in reprobating their previous out!ays for public re- ceptions now burst into fury at their neglect of our British visiters. When they gave a civic festival they were called thieves; when they @id not ‘they were upbraided for their mean- Tuose “UnrortunaTe CELEesTiALs.—Cannot ness and want of courtesy.

In proof of this general rumor of a compact, offensive and defensive, between the Captain General of Cuba, in behalf of Spain, and Santa Anna, El Cabano, the organ of the Cuban Junta of this city, adduces the following poin of evidence :— + 1—The interview of Santa Anna and Canedo, du- ring his stay in Havana, which lasted soe four Pee ae the Molino, the residence of the Captain eneral. 2.—The incorporation of avout forty Spanish offi- cers in the Supe the Mexican feats 3.—-Part of the Spanish fleet are cruising near Vera Cruz, subject to the orders of Santa Anna. 4.—A contract between the government of Cuba and Mexico, to provide the latter with arms and mu- nitions of war. d 5.—The grand decoration of Carlos III. to Santa Ame from the Queen of Spain. 6.-- The allusions of Arista to annexation, instead propagated by Santa Anna. Wonder what Secretary Marcy is doing at Washington. It is alleged that he is at logger- heads with Mr. Buchanan upon the subject of the instructions of the jatter regarding his fu- ture negotiations in London on the fishery question. Can it be that our Premier regards the fishery question as more pressing in its de- mands for action than the affairs of Cuba, Mexi- co, and Spain? Or is he awaiting the arrival of Gen. Almonte at Washington? Porhaps he is; but let him prepare for a coup d’état from Santa Anna which will make Mexico an em- pire, or a dependency again of the Spanish crown, under the vice royalty of the present Dictator. Is our Premier wide awake. of the restoration of the monarchy, believed to be | Pactric Rartroap.—Our State Assembly have been amusing themselves, to fill up their time, with another learned debate on the bill to in- corporate the New York Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. One member is afraid that this company will turn out to be & monster cor- poration, like Biddle’s National Bank, corrupt- ing the political elections, and controlling the price of cotton and flour, with their hundred mil- lions of capital stock. In fact, the bill looked to him very much like a cat in the meal tub, and he preferred to keep his distance. Mr. Taylor, who seems better to understand what he is talking about, considered this project a great and glorious enterprise, as it is. But he was neutralized by a whig member from the ru- ral districts. who flatly pronounced the concern a Wall street speculation of the South Sea bub- ble order. Mr. Wood, however, extinguished the argument of the rural gentleman ina few palpable hits for the road; and he was seconded in splendid style by Mr. Littlejohn, who is anything but a little John on this mighty question. Mr. Shaw pronounced the idea that the tre- mendous commerce of Asia could be brought over our continent on a railroad, or on any- thing of the kind short of four or five hundred parallel tracks, a preposterous absurdity, or something of the sort. Still he is of the opinion that arailroad to the Pacific may be useful to the country in a pecuniary point of view—so are we. And, accordingly. we agree with Mr. Shaw, that the bill ought to be perfected so as to be as acceptable to Congress as possible. But if Mr. Shaw means by this that it would be. good policy to kill the bill by ‘delay we cannot coincide with Mr. Shaw. We consider it the duty of New York, from her paramount interest in the work, to break ground upon this Pacific railroad. Let us get the thing started at all hazards. There is no danger that a cor- poration to build this road will employ its hun- dred millions of capital to overturn the liber- ties of the country. Pshaw! 'TWEEDLE-DUM AND TWEEDLE-peE.—A quarrel, considerably fiercer than that between Russia and Turkey, remains unsettled between the True National Democrat, “the Original Ja- cobs,” and the National Democrat, the “real genvine Original Jacobs,” upon the subject of the Tammany Hall rioters, It will be remem: bered that shortly after the Presidential elec- tion last fall, the Democratic General Comm tee was attacked in Old Tammany by a posse of | outsiders, and that Augustus Schell, chairman, received some ugly knocks and cuts about the cranium, Had he not been a hard shell the consequences might have wound up his politi- eal career. He has survived to see the as ing party brought to trial; but the technical difficulties to their condemnation induced the organ of the hard shells—the ‘real genuine Original Jacobs”—to suspect that there was foul play somewhere. and so he came out with a charge the other day of ‘disgusting raseality” in the management of the trial. The soft shell JSilibustero organ—*the Original Jacobs” —flings back the accusation of “disgusting rascality” upon his neighbor, the hard shell, with interest. Meantime, the sentence of the rioters has been postponed to the July term. Therefore let us hope that there will be a compromise between the two warlike brethren of the Jacobs family. Why should there pe arow between tweedle- dum and tweedle-dev? information. Something should be done for these unfortunate Celestials. TimELY Warninc.—The season of the year is at hand when the watering places and fashion- able resorts of the seaboard and the interior are infebted with all sorts of adventurers and Jilibusteros on a small scale. Among them there is occasionally to be found some presum- ing genius in the unauthorized character of a correspondent or attaché of the New York Herarp. Against allsuch impostors we recom- mend to hotel keepers and others an applica- tion for their certificate frem the Heratp office, where there is any ground of reasonable doubt of the real character of the individual. And be it further remembered, that all our cor- respondents are instructed to * pay as they go.” Talk on ’Change. Cotton was again active, with sales of 4,000 bales, with- out change in prices, Tobacco again sold to the extent of about 500 hogsheads, at full prices, Breadatuffs were without change. Groceries and provisions were inactive, without alteration of moment in prices. There was some disposition manifested to hold back in some grticles until the arrival of the Africa, wh'ch was about due, ‘The want of dock room for shipping was seriously com- plained of. Vessels were compelled to lay at the ends of the piers, often several tier deep, and wait for days to- gether before getting a suitable berth to discharge. It was contended that it might be unsafe to fill out piers in the East river, but that no fear was to be appreheaded from @ similar operation on the North river side. It was suggested that ample dooks on that side of the town should be built for the accommodationof shipping. These might be formed into » large basin, by ‘driving piles around three sides, with an entrance for vessels on the outer line or wall. In such docks vessels could, in large numbers, be safely accommodated. A sncces- sion of these might line the North river shore from near the Battery to Fortieth or Fiftieth street, if necessary. Moderate dock fees might be im- posed, which might be applied to their repairs, &., and to sink their original cost A great convenience would arise from assorting the shipping. One large basia might be known as the Liverpool dock, and others as the Lon- don, Havre, or Continental dock, the West India avd California docks, &c. Much time was lost and confusion experienced from the scattered and irregular berths which vessels occupied at present. Tt was suggested that as the business wharves would necessarily extend up the island, that truck railroads, with turn outs at the piers, would greatly ‘acilitate the ‘wwansportation of goods from one extremity to the other. The Pilot law just passed by the Legislature, though not as good in all its provisions as desirable, yet in the main it was considered satisfactory. Thé blockade of Buezos Ayres by Urquiza was thought to be unfavorable to American trade, and the exercise of energetic measures for its protection was considered ne eessary. Buenos Ayres was one of the most extensive markets for bides, the value of which was likely to be materially entanced by any long continued interruption to commercial intercourse. The Crystal Palace, ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE ITALIAN DE- PARTMENT, Among the rarest and most valuable contributions from abroad to the New York Exhibition will be those em braced in the Italian department. Tnese contributions are row rapidly coming in, aud we will venture to say that very few persons have yet fully anticipated th» variety the extent, and the vaiue of this unique aud choice col lection, It is especially nch in works of art—paintings pod sculpture—works of the old masters, originals as well as imitations, and some of the fisest creations of modern genius. ‘We have glanced over an advance sheet of the Ttalian catalegue, containing the Piedmonte:e, Milanese, sud Mo- denese coutributions. This catalogue does not coataia any of the rare and choice contributions from Fisrence ani Rome, and yet it could furnieh, in works of art alone, a most interesting and curious exhibition of itself. As a specimen of this department the reader may be gratified by an enumeration of some of the principal works of merit entered for exhibition belonging to one branch of the arts alone, namely, sculpture, and for this purpose we will take so much of the catalogue as relatea to ex- hibitors from the Duchy of Modena, Among there articles will be found a simi-eolosal status of Pio Nono, the present Pope of Rome, in mar ble, by Tenerani, a sculptor of Carrara. A meubo? of the Academy of Fine Arts in Carcara will exhibit some Deautiful spesitaens and groups, namely, a Hebe; in ftatuary marble, by Cavova ; the Shepherd and a Mer- cury, by Thorwaldsen ; the celebrated Saiver, mouated ona small pedestal, by Benvenuto Cellini, and statuary marble ; and an origioal group, the figures of tho sizé of ife, represen ting two lovers going to the altar. Ia addi tion to these beautiful creations of genius, we are to have, ainong other finished works of the chisel, the Venus, called ‘The Paris Venus;” a group of Cupid and Payche, from the origtval in the capitol at Rome; « group of Ganymede, by Thorwaldsen ; a Bacchante, copy from the original of Luigi Bienaime ; » eopy from the original of Bartolino, Faith in God; the Dying Gladiator ; the Flora of the Capitel ; Saint John, by Prof Kumene Baratta ; and /1 Nozarreno, # bust frow the original, by the same Professor in the Academy of Fine Arts in Car- tara. Besides these, we observe a variety of bacchantes cupids, nymphs, madonuss, and # beautiful collection of original statues, and groups in statuary marble, together | with a collection of busts, antique and modern, such ag | the bust of Copernicus, being a copy from Tenerant ; another of the same, modelled by the author, with pedestal; bust of Dante; a bust of Jove, from the antiqne; a bustof Diana and a bust of Apollo, both fcom the antique, with pe- destals, &e, Some heantiful original specimens of groups or figures in statuary marble are also included in this col- lection:—-A rhepherdess seated, watching a sheep which in browsing near her; two Cupids d'sputing the posseasion of heart; a Cupid feeding a bird; the Genius of Spring and the G crowning herself with flowers; lover's name on a tree, Ko We have mentioned thus far the contribatioas of xeulp ture from the Duchy of Modena alone, Thove from other parts of Italy are also rare, curions and valuable, With out weary ing the patience of the reader by anything like a detail, wo shail merely enumerate, very briefly, a few n representing smmer; anrmph fad writiog her the more remarkable «peeimens from Venice and Milan:—A coloseal heed of Obriat; a ovlos- sal bust of the poet Vicenzo Monti; bust of the size of life, in Carrara marble, representing \“Re- signation;” another representing “Religious Meditation,’ 4 beautifal statuein Carrara marble, of the size of lite, sepresenting “The Soldier’s Child,’ a bust of a vaited Woinan, lle vive, wed @ very elegant work of art repre senting “Bre aftor the Fall,” of the size of life, also Carrare warble. Ia this collection will be found some exquisitely chiselled{ groups and figures smaller than life, tuch as the ‘Boy Fisherman,’ the group of “ Atalaand Chactas;” the “Fishing” group;” the ‘ First Step,’” &e., &@.; also some very chaste and charming fancy pieces, such as ‘ A Child on a Weve,” in Carrara marble; “A Young GirDiscovered by Cupid Among Reses;” “ 4 Cage Bull of Cupids,” in Carrara marble; and mea others, of equal merit and genius, ‘ The contributions from Rome and Flerence will materi- ally increare this splendid list of the works of Hallam ’ genius, which, altogether, will farmish one of the fimest, exhibitfons ever witnessed in this country. The onta<* | logues refe: red to contain alzo a general list of the paiat- ings contained in the Italian eomtribution, and works connected with that department of the arts; but the length to which this article has extended will render i¢ necessary to defer any notice of these to a future ce# 4 casion, Marine Affairs. Maning FNoive BustpinG.—Mesers. Quintard, Merritt & o., of the Morgan Iron Works, foot of Tenth street, East: river, have their immense manufactory in constant ac- tivity to supply the demand for machinery for river, lake andccean steamers. In addition to the Jamestowm, ’ which left on Saturday for Richmond, the machinery of , which was supplied from these works, they haye now four large steamships alongside the dock receiving their engines, viz. :—One of 2,500 tons, for Mr. George Law, not | yet pamed; the-Golden Age, of about 3,000 tons, owned by Moxsre. Howard &Son, and intended forthe Australiam "| bus \d the fan Francisco, of about 2,200 tons, for) the jc Mail Steamship Company. Mr. Law’s vessel ‘will be competed in about a week, She is fitted with & pair of inclined engines, with cylinders of sixty-fiva inches diameter, and ten feet stroke. The Golden Age hasa single beam engine, eighty three inches diameter, with twelve feet stroke, and will be completed in afew woeke, The San Frarcisco has a pair of oscillating en- \ gines, sixty. five inches diameter, eight feet stroke. This voesel was but recently launched. They have also under way a beam engine, eighty inches diameter and twelve feet stroke, for a boat building for the Erie Railroad Company, to run on Lake Erie; two pair of beam engines, fifteen inches diameter, ten feet stroke, for two vessels of about 1,800 tons each, now building by Messrs, Wester velt & Co., for the Pacifie Mail Steamship Company; a | ‘beam engine, sixty Inches diameter, eleven feet stroke, j for versel for Mr. Charles Morgan, of about 1,500 tons, cepstructing by Messrs, Westervelt & Co., and intended: | for the New Orleans and Texas trade; and a beam engine sixty-five inches diameter, eleven feet stroke, for a vessel of about 1,700 tons, also for Mr. Charles Morgan, to run‘ between New Orleans end Vera Cruz, and to be named after the latter city. She isalso being built by Messrs, + Westervelt & Co, ‘Tae Cuprer £i1P SWEEPSTAKES. This vessel, which wag taken to the Navy Yard dock to be coppered, will be at her dock to load for San Franctsco in the early part of ° next reek. The report in one or twoof the city papers that she had been ‘Irjured to the extent of $30,000 by falling over, in the endeavor to launch her, and that Messrs, Chambers & Heiser, for whom she was built, had j in consequence refused to take her, is altogether untrue. Tae damage she received upon examination ‘was found * to be o' a very trifling character, and was made good im | a very few hours, and she is now as stiff and etaunch ag before she left the stocks.

This old and favorite play was never better cast. Mr. Barton also ap- pears as the Mummy, and that performance is alone * worth the price of admission. This isthe last night of Mr. Burton’s performance at Niblo’s, and the play-going » public ought to give Lim a bumper at parting—although his bill, the best ef the season, will guarantee a great « house.
