THE CONCLUSION. Afterthe speeches in the tent there was music in the square by the band, and the city was brilliantly Muminated. Brilliant fireworks were discharged, ‘and whem, the sounds of rejoicing had ceased it was Rear mifvigit. Pasties were given in many houses trvugly out the town, and serenades were played Denest/a the windows of the fair daughters of Ports- mouth . Thi, ceremonies were much saddened by the sud- dené .eath of the venerable Judge Nahum Mitchell, ~of B) idgewater, upon the day of the celebration. He ard ed in Plymouth about ten o'clock, in good shes ith apparently, and received his numerous friend ‘wv th a zealous and hearty welcome at the car depot. W hile walking through Maine street, a short time ‘ afterwards, to the house of a relative, he was seized *-“with a sudden dizziness, and fell upon the pavement, ; @pposite Pilgrim Hall. When taken up he was senseless. He was carried to a residence, near by, where every huan effort was made for his relief but with no avail, as he expired ina few moments Judge Mitchell was a graduate of Harvard College in qhe year 1789, was 84 years old at the time of his death, and during this long and well spent life he had filled various offices of distinction in the State, and was somewhat distinguished for his antiquarian knowledge. The New York City Guard, Capt. Vincent, on their return from the Piymouth celebration, arrived im Boston on Monday afternoon at about a qnarter- past 4o’clock. Upon their arrival at the depot, they were met by the Boston Light Infantry, and Beeorted to Union Hall, to partake of a splendid en- fertuinment prepared for them, to which they did Justice. ‘The following are the namea of the “Sons of New England,” who were present at the celebration, from New York:— ft i Simeon Draper, J.

The memory of the Pilgrims—of the brave little band of Puritans who came over in the Mayflower— has been refreshened in the minds of our people by the celebration of the Ist inst. Our report of the ceremonies at Piymouth in commemoration of the enibarkation at Delft Haven, covering fourteen and a half columns of the New York Herap of this morning, will cause the event to sink deeper aud deeper into the heartsof all Americans, wherever they may be, and in whatever partofthe globe. All those who have been tossed on the Atlantic in a winter passaye across that ocean, and all those who have stood on our northern coast in the cold, tem- pestuous month ef December, will turn their thoughts back to the stout-hearted men and women who landed on the rock at Plymouth on the 22d of Decem- ber, 1620. Our thirty-one magnificent and prospe- rous States, with their millions of inhabitants and millions of wealth—the harvest, we may say, of that little snow-covered and icebound plantation—will then loom up to their view, and cause their hearts to beat with greater joy and pride as they read the pro- ceedings of Monday last, on the spot where Miles Standish, John Carver, and their companions, first offered up their prayers on this continent. seal A duel was fought near Charleston yesterday morning, between John Dunovant and J. Davidson Legare, in which the latter was killed at the first fire. This melancholy affair has grown out of a communication published in the Charleston Cowricr of the 27th ultimo, by Isaac M. Dwight, in which R. Barnwell Rhett, late United States Senator from South Cerclina, but now in private life, was spoken of in such terms as to call forth from Alfred Rhett, son of the Senator, a reply, in which he character- ized the attack on his father as base and contemptible, and apimadverted in equally strong language upon Mr. D.’s motives. After the meeting the matter was amicably settled by the interference af frieuds. ‘The returos of the Keutucky State. and Congres Floual Glectivu are ueagre. In the First district Linn Boyd, (dem.) is undoubtedly elected. In tue Frith district the result is doubtful. William Preston, (whig,) is elected.

The National Scientific Convention closed its an- nual session, at Cleveland, Obio, yesterday; Profes. sor Dana, of New Haven, was chosen President for the ensuing year. Washington was selected as the place for the next meeting, in May, 1854. A memo tial to Congress, for the establishment of a geogra. phical department, was agreed to. ‘The Farme:’s Club of the American Institute held their semi-monthly meeting yesterday, at their rooms in Broadway, where much agricultural infor mation vpon the manufacture of the «nper phosphate or lime, was elicited. There was an agreeable epi- sode to the proceedings when a new article of diet for our people was introduced, namely, a soup mide from the pigeon pea, an esculent of which so mach has been said respecting its ample prodactiveness A great man is he who makes two blades of grass to grow where only one would before. We recom mend the pigeon pea to_our farming readers as a new article of production. A sailboat rave came off yesterday at Hoboken, between the Runaway, of Philadephia, and the George Clark, of New York, for five hundred dol lars; distance—twenty miles—in which the Clark proved victor‘ons. The race was fairly contested, and the best feeling prevailed, ‘The number of deaths from yellow fellow at New O ‘vans tor the fori-eight Lous ending Ist inst. was two hundred and twenty-seven, Mr. Poiland, Minister to Central America, and Gen, Gaddeen, Minister to Mexico, have departed for their destinations, ‘ihe New York State Teachers’ Association met in convention at Rochester yesterday afternoon.

What’s in the wind? Within the last few weeks, we have published ac- counts of the arrest of counterfeiters, in gangs and singly, in different sections of the country, which go to show a most extraordinary activity both in the mane facture of base money, and on the part of offi- cers who bave been energetic enough to ferret out the culprits, On Sunday, officer Burley arrested a man named Joseph H. Johnson, at his lodgings, 252 Fulton treet, and found on his persen $3,000 in five dollar bills, purporting to be genuine issues of the “ Fallkill Bank of Poughkeepsie,” a number of bills on various broken banks, and a thousand dollars worth of spurious coin in five dofarand two and a half dollar gold pieces. The accussd was com- mitted to prison for further examination. Wm. Linven, a Post Office clerk, has been arrested at Fayetteville, N.C., cherged with robbing the mail. Dhe Scientific Convenmtien at Cleveland—Pro- Gr ess of Science in the United States, In another column will be found a continu- ation of the procedings of the National Scien- tific Convention, now being held at Cleveland As critics sey of novels and serials, the interest awakened by the proceedings of the previous sittings is fully sustained. New stores of valu. able information are being opened to view; new light has been thrown on obscure points of the world’s anatomy; science is being robbed ot her secrets, and the complete mastery of man over matter is in process of being finally achieved. Transactions which may fairly compare with those of any scientific body in existence, will be compiled from the com- Lined labors of the eminent Americans who have met to communicate the results of their study and observation to each other and to the public. Discoveries may well: be ex- pected of them, and practical adaptations of the fortuitous discoveries of others, which will refiect honor on themselves and their coun. try, and confer lasting benefits on the world at large. We may say of them what we said a few days since of agricultural societies and fairs: they are a product of modern times, a comparatively recent invention, based upon the old rule, that two heads are better than one— arule which has only received a practical ap- plication in our own days. What fairs and shows have done for agriculture, philosophical sccivties and scientific conventions have done for science. Out of the one have sprung im- proved methods of fertilizing the earth. and new and ingenious implements for tilling it; out of the other aro daily proceeding new theo- ries and inestimable inventions, which smooth the toils and increase the happiness of man- kind, To Mr. Redfield’s valuable paper on the use of the barometer on the lakes; to Professor Roche’s speculations on a sea bank in connee tion with the Gulf Stream ; to Professor Bache’s further discoveries on the theory of the tides; to Professor Brainard’s theories on the sand- stone conglomerate ; to Mr. Haupt’s essay on the resistance of vertical plates in tubular bridges; tv Professor Brocklesby’s paper on springs, and rises of water therein. we have no doubt that the remaining days of the ses- sion will add other treatises, equally renlato with information and value. A whole world remains yet to be explored. Astronomy is in its infaney. Of pneumatics, the anatomy of the atmosphere, and the meaus of navigating it, we have barely an elementary notion. Geology is as yet hut a theme for speculation and dis- cussion. Cosmogony is a trackless desert. Even of materia medica we know s0 little that the faculty is divided in nearly equal portions between professors who pretend that the curative power of drugs is in direct, and others who assert that it is in inverse propor. ton to the quantity used. Between the two the lay public is no farther alvanced than it was In the days of Molicre, when Quia est in 0 virtus dormitiva was a complete and satis. factory answer to the pregnant query, Quare opium facit dormire? 3 All these and other important problems will one day Le solved. We do not even despair of the soporifie powers of opium being intelligibly explained. Nor can we doubt that a leading part in opening a pathway through the fast- nesses of science is reserved to the associate labors of our American professors. We are firmly persuaded that many of the discoveries which are in store for the world. will-hereafter be credited to our scientific conventions. See what our scientific men have achieved by their unaided efforts, Go back as far as the days cf Franklin, and calculate how much the world owes him, who said to the thunder: “Thou shalt be our slave!” and to the lightning: * Thou shalt obey our law! Bear in mind the step which steam navigation took under Fulton ; and tracing the progress of the science from his clumey boat, rolling heavily along the Hudson at four miles an hour, to the magnificent steam- ers which now bear Collins’ name across the ocean; never forget. Americans, that as the first adaptation of steam to marine purposes was made by your countryman in your waters, so the most sueceseful application of the discovery still belongs toyou. Nor are your steamers your only title to the supremacy of the ocean American yachts have outstripped the fleetest sailing craft of Europe; and American clippers still monopolise those branches of traffic in which speed and safety are essentially re- quired. Soon, indeed, may we confidently ex- peet that isnprovements on Ericsson’s caloric, engine will enable it to supersede both steam and sails; and of this discovery also America will have the eredit. Need we speak of the telegraph —Of Morse’s patent, superior in 1837, to any telegraph used in Europe of the present day ? Of House’s wonderful invention, as extraerdinary by its striking results as by its beautiful mechanism? In every branch of science facts equally gratifying to our patriot- ism meet the eye. Our physieians discover the extraordinary properties of ebloroform, and disarm the knife of its power of inflicting pain. Whitney economizes labor, and faeilitates the developement ef our produce with his cotton gin. Lieutenant Maury dis- covers a new theory of the oceanic gur- rents, by which the voyage to China and the Last is economised one-third; and foreiga senates delight to class his name among the great benefactors of commerce and navi gation. Bond and Mitchell add planets to the solar uni- verse; and suck mon as Arago, Leverrier, Airy, and Herschell seek their opinions with pro- pO ford rewpect.. Our space would not suffice ‘sere we to enumerate the humbler and more practical additions to the world’s wealth which are due to Americans—the ploughs, the reapiag machines, the locks, the hundred conveniences which Europe has either borrowed from us or ig- nores still. Suffice it to say, that though the youngest among the great nations of the world, we have already amply vindicated our claim to take rank with the foremost of our seniors in everything that depends on intellect. We look to our scientific conventions to sustain and in- crease the reputation we have already ac- quired, New Nationat Parry.—We are informed by a correspondent that a “new political organi- zation is now going forward in thisand other States, to be denominated the American Union party;” and the following, in the form of a printed circular, has been enclosed to us. as the plattorm of this new political organization, to wit:— PRINCIPLES. 1, In favor of universal education, by supporting and extending the system of free schoola, indepen- dent of the control or interference of way religious sect. 2. In favor of reformi the naturalization laws, either by the extension of the term of residence or by requiring additional qualifications, such as being able to read and write, or both. Such reform not to apply to any foreigner who may have come into the country upon the faith of the existing naturali- zation laws. 3. In favor of fostering American interests, by promoting free trade in all articles of prime neces- sity, not the products of our own country, and of imposing a judicious tariff on ariicles which enter into competition with the products of American labor. 4.—In favor of a liberal system of harbor and river improvements, and of the general government lending its aid to the construction of a railroad to the Pacific Ocean. . 5.—In favor of selling public lands to actual set- ers. 6.—In favor of an economical administration of the government, and strict accountability of general agents. In favor of the continued and harmonious Union of these States, and opposed to any measures which shall tend to array one section of the country against another, our motto being—‘‘our country and our whole country.” 8. In favor of a complete and thorough reform in the administration of our city government, by re- garding the spirit as well as the letter of the recent amendments to the city charter. ‘ 9.—Opposed to any legislation which shall inter- fere with the free and ancient right and usage of the people of this country, to cause the Bible to be read in our public schools. 10.—Opposed to any legislation which shall vest property devoted to religious or charitable uses, ex- clusively in the hands of the clergy. This isa very singular and original admix- ture of principles, to be sure, such as universal education, native Americanism, free trade, har- bor and river improvements, the Pacific rail- road, free farms, retrenchment and reform, the Union now and forever, reformation in our city government, the free reading of the Bible in our public schools ; and war to the death against Mr. Taber’s Catholic church property. This beats Bobtail. The Buffalo platform, the Pitts- burg platform, both Baltimore platforms, and the Native American platform, all combined, are hardly more comprehensive. But the title of American Union party, shows that the old leaven of Native Amicricanism is to “leaven the whole lump,” though we are sadly afraid, from past experience, that it won’t work. But this movement is, notwithstanding, ano- ther striking proof of a total re-organization of political parties in this country for the cam- paign of 1856. And from the variety of mate- rials and principles all adrift, we should not be at all surprised if there were three or four, or even half a dozen, distinct party tickets put into the field for the next Presidency. me el a } A New Licnt on Womay’s Rionts—The opinions of this journal concerning woman’s rights are well known to our readers. The 0st vulstes ong Cackler of the Wuivestes Conventions we have never been able to contemplate in any other capacity than as a fussy old speckled hen, vainly attempting to crow, But our theologians of the Courier take up deliberately the argu- mentum ad hominum, and put the vexed ques- tion at rest, for once and for all. Our learned cotemporaries thus plainly draw the line of demarcation between man’s and woman's rights :-— Men cap be every thing except wives and mo- thers, and do everythivog except those particular acts which pertain to wifehood and materuity ; aud be thus and do thus better than woman. But with regard to those functious of wifehood and maternity, woich women perform with such wonderful success, man’s ability is not even comparative with woman's. He “ can't begin” with her ; to confess the humilia- ting truth, he can't begin at all. “A Daniel, yea, a second Daniel, come to judgment.” “He can’t begin.” How, then, is the Worcester platform. which places man and woman vpon the same footing precisely, in politics and in business, in the duties of the corn-field and the mysteries of the nursery, to be carried out? Our theologians of the Courier have settled the question. The thing can’t be done. Let there be no more Worcester Conven- tions. Mrs. Rose, Lloyd Garrison, Miss Lucy Stone, and all other young Bloomers or old abolition grannies, may as well give up the breeches. The Courier has touched the sub- ject, and the petticoats are hung up to dry. The argument is ended in the statement of the [case. Let the world rejoice. Tue Resutts or Sciexce—Two Momentovs Questions SetrLep—The astonishing eluci- dation by Professor Faraday, of London. of the table moving mystery, has been published fur and wide, and is considered as complete a settler of the modus operandi of this pheno- menon as was the Rev. Chauncey Burr’s indig- nant exposition of the spirit rappings. But Dr. Latham and Professor Owen, two of the most distinguished of the men of science in England, have made a still more important discovery than cither of the aforesaid revela- tions. They have found out. upon strictly scientific principles, which are about as fixed as those of Euclid, that the Aztec children are not descendants of a tribe of dwarfs of the an- THE CRYSTAL PALACE: nn aS ‘Whe Progress of the Indust:ial Exhibition— Seenes in the Departments, dic., de. To the man of the world and the student of hu- man nature, perhaps there is nothing more amusing in the “New York Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations” than the manners, customs and excentri- cities of the visiters, from all parts of ‘our glorious country.” From the Aroostook to the Rio Grande, from the Connecticut to the Columbia, we have spe- cimens of the manufacture of the mixed race with which the Union is peopled. In such an olla podrida of humanity, the humorous predominates, and for the reason more p2rticularly, that the people have come up to New York to spend their money and “have a good time.” Who shal blame them? We prefer to see a gentleman from the “rural districts” who admires everything and says so, rather than un homme blasé, who can see nothing to admire, every- thing to condemn. Let us imagine ourselves in the Palace, and mentally view the living panorama which daily illuminates it. There is a gentleman evidently the father of halfa dozen rosy cheeked boys and girls, who follow him. He looks some- what care-worn, quite a constrast to his buxom wife, who seems the living embodiment of one of Jor- daen’s Venuses—all life—all flesh—all blood—all color. It is evident that to him is resigned the care of the family, for the lady is displaying her want of taste by her intense admiration of Marochetti’s equestrian Washington. One of the children is gazing with rapt fervor up into the centre of the beautiful dome—we don’t think he will be a Sir Christopher Wren on that account, however; another admires the immense block of mahogany, and inquires for what that ‘‘ nasty looking black man” surmounts it. “ That’s a statue of the Em- peror of Hayti, my son,” says the father, “and his head is supposed to be manufactured of mahogany also.”” The boy is astonished; but it was for that purpose that he came to the Palace. One of the elder girls is slightly shocked atthe figure of the «Husbandman’s Orphan,” and her mother thinks, audibly, that the husbandman could not have been of much account if his agricultural life was not pro- fitable enough to leave his son a shirt and pair of trou- sers. The idea of sending a young man into the world with nothing but a spade as his inheritance, strikes our fat friend as rather ridiculous. Perhaps if utilitarianism could be applied to statuary, she would be right in her conclusions, All the party are delighted with the plaster casts of the Saviour and the Twelve Apostles, except the young lady, who has got something more attractive in the shape of a handsome young man, evidently her betrothed. They are engaged in the rather hazardous task of endeavoring to obtain some information from the “ official catalogue "—we should be glad to see some one who ever did succeed in a similar effort. The young gentleman and young lady are evidently of our opinion ; for, with a “ pen- sive air,” they relinquish the search, and like two models of pure, undulterated affection as they are, wander hand in hand through the exhibition. The mother having awakened from her day dream, and having finished her running commentary upon the virtues of the Pater Patrie, now turns around to look after her flock. ‘Goodness gracious, Mr. Smith, (Smith is the father,) I wish you would louk after them boys better. There’s Henry Clay away up in the German States, and like enough some of these horrid Yorkers will carry him off. Look where Louis Kossuth is—away over in Prince Edward Island, playing with another boy that won’t bring him to no good, I'll be bound. There’s Amelia Jane playing with George Washington Lafayette up in the British Provinces. Pretty doins’. I never expect to git one on ’em away from here alive. Somethin’ might fall down and kill one of the poor things, and Traally believe you wouldn’t care nothin’ about it, no more nor if it wasa dog. You're a pretty fellow, ain’t you?” The repentant Smith, who has been Jost in contemplation of the Neptune bose cart, does not answer the last satirical interrogation, and only replies to the remainder of Mrs. Smith's impassioned address by collecting together the scattered flact—o wush uf uu small auncuity, ‘Tue whole band then deploys, and marches off to the refreshment saloon of one Pelctier, where the ‘father of his family” suffers for twelve shillings’ worth of execrable coifee, cakes and ices. There's another party getting their handkerchiefs perfumed “for nothing,” and loudly praising the be- nevolence of the gentleman who thus advertises him- self through an appeal to the nasal organ, and pro- bably makes his customers pay in the same manner. They wander away to see Mr. De Buaia’s invention, which isa piano on the street organ principle, and at their earnest request the exhibitor thereof favors them with “ Yankee Doodle,’ the notes being ac- cented in a patriotic and refreshing style. The farm- ers and their wives are delighted with McCormick’s reaper and the other agricultural implements, al- though, with one or two exceptions, no persons are present to explain them. The little boys gaze with wonder at a wax firure dressed in e1abrvidered tunic and trousers, and oue urchia, who has not yet arrived to the dignity of breeches, earnestly beseeches his mamma to provide him with habiliments of the fame sort “ right off.” A great many contribute to the Washington Monument, and a great many more would do so if the boxes were in a more conspicuous position. The country delegates admire the lady in mourning, who cannot be said te be partial, as she turns her back upon all the gentlemen. They are rather astonished at the last style of bonnets, which are somewhat on the omelette souflé order; and one honest-looking country girl violently declares that she wouldn't have such a thing on her head “for no money.” She is plain in features, however, and the pretty girl next to her is evidently of a dif. ferent opinion. She thinks]that airy collection of silk, satin, lace and flowers, would be quite bec oming to her style of beauty. The gentleman attendant, evidently her husband, is uorrified at the expense, and discourages the idea. He sees something very pretty in the other gallery, and takes her away rapidly. Vaia hope! She has treasured ap the ad- dress in the tablets of her memory, and we really could not say how many of his doliars will be neces- sary to efface the reco! a and provide “ Anna Maria” with a new hat at the same time. There’s quite a flirtation going on in thut retired corner. The vicinity of the black eyed coqnette has proved very dangerous to the yonth with the drab moustache, and heis plying ber with compliments That she isa flirt is plain, for, as we pass her, we cannot avoid hearing her declare thet je * never was, aa and trily, engaged to anybody.” Ah youth with the flaxen hair, ties from the Siren ‘ere it be too late. Asa friend, we advire an immediate series of stage rides to the High Bridge. That would have knocked and jolted the sentiment out of Abe- cient Aztecs, but accidental pigmies, the natural offepring of the degraded hybrids of the isthmus of Nicaragua. Thus science accords with the facts, and the facts and science with the opinions of this journal. Next we hope to have the question scientifically settled “Will salt- petre explode ?” It is rather an important pro- position, in view of the pending crisis between Russia and Turkey. Aut ror Buncompe.—The Washington Union the other day published the following note, which, we understand, was delivered at the office by the Russian Minister himself, to wit: Wasninoron, July 29, 1853. The enbecription of Mr. Bodisco ig to be disconti- nued from this day. Exactly. When “his augnst master,” the Emperor of all the Russias, reads that note in the Union, or in the New Yors Hsratp, which will answer the purpose just as well, he will exclaim—" Well done, good and faithful ser- vont, for thus rebuking the traitorous infidel.” The note, we presume, therefore, was all for Buncombe. But the Union has suffered, and patriotiem should be rewarded for its losses. All for Buncombe. j lard, who thereafter would bave thought no more of Heloise than of avy other pale feed nau. We hope that Capt. Bowyer will iostroct tite police to stop all flirting on the premises. It is an infrip the business of the magnificent saloons on roadway, We thought we had heard of sil sorts of freesoil arguments, but Mrs, M. T.
