WEEKLY SEJiTlSEL.

no-l DAY . Jl LY 7 IHvMed. Tb New York Herald says the Republican party is divided between two fictions. It places Secretary SbTWaad as the representative man in tbe Cabinet of the conservative element, and Secretary Ch ase, with his side issues, negro missions and conquered territory schemes, at tbe bead of the Abolition faction. nai Convention in Hancock County The Democracy of Hancock county will assemble in m.tss convention, at Greenfield, on Saturday, July 12th, for the purpose of nomina ting candidates for the various county offices to be filled at the October election, a candidate for the State Legislature, and a candidate for Joint Representative for the counties of Hancock and Shelby, and delegates to the Congressional Con Tention. Hon. Thomas A. Hexdkicks and other able speakers will be present and address thepeo pie upon the issues of the day. -t.ood Advice Thrown Away." The Journal says: "Governor Wright repeatedly recommended in his message when Governor, and privately, as well as publicly, tried to -ecu re the enactment of some saie.'ujrd against just such frauds as that of Stover.'Such a law was passed by the Legislature of 1859. It was introduced into the House by a Demoer it. tbe law was drafted by a Democrat, and it received the support of the Democratic members of the Legislature. The idea was also suggested in two of John M. Lord's reports, while Agent of State. The law provides that all certificate of stocks must be sent here for transfer and register iu the Auditor's office, and t is a safeguard against fraudulent over issues which has worked well. The good advice was not thrown away. The .Tiatis Convention. The Journal is exceeding troubled about the proposed Democratic Mass Convention, and the Governor, who is the head aud tail of the disunion party, telegraphs to the Cincinnati Republican papers that it is ezceediiiglyunpalaieable to him. Those who were engaged in engineering the ISth of June Convention, are awakening to a full realization of the fact that it was a humbug, a fr.ud. a lukewcrm affair from whuli every honest man will turn in disgust. The Journil dues nut want the people to meet to insist that the war shall be prosecuted to "defend and maintain the suprt macy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union as established by our patriotic fathers'' .m l to condemn alt schemes calculated to defeat these truly patriotic objects. It renews its charge of disloyalty against the Democracy, because they propose to carry out in good faith, or to demand that "our Executive and Legislative bodies, both State and National." shall, in the conduct of public atT.iirs, faithfully adhere to the principles and policy which the so called "Union" Convention declared was the duty of the people of Indiana to the whole country. We do not know what the Journal means by its term of "disloyalty." If it is decided opposition to civil war rather than such an evil pre ferrihg the disruption of the Union and the loss of a dozen Slates, then the Republican org;m disloyal sheet. The Journal is on the record, in terms which can not be mistaken, in favor of a peaceable separation of all the States that de-ire to go preferring the lo-s of a duzen States to the horrors of a civil war, condeming in advance the Administration if it should by any means attempt to force such a calamity upon the country ; and since the commencement of the war it has declared that it had none of these views to take back, and that it would consent to a separation upon the single condition that the rebels would lay down their arms. A paper entertaining such disloyal sentiments, in direct conflict with the Union" platform, which declares it to be the duty of every good and loyal citizen to "preserve the Union as established by our patriot fathers," has the effrontery to call Democrats disloyal who have voted every dollar and every man that the Republican Administration has asked for " to suppress and put down a wicked and causeless rebellion." We suppose the Journal, in expressing its disloyal sentiments, but echoes those entertained by the Republican "Uuion" party, for it is its acknowledged organ, and it has never been repudiated by the R -) i ) lie tin in any of its conventions for en terlaining and advocating such sentiments. The Journal is a disunion sheet; it has openly and persistently advocated a reparation of the States, and if entertaining and advocating such sentiments is disloyalty, it is guilty of that crime. Yet snch a paper has the impertinence to de nounce its political opponents as being disloyal. "The Battle Before ti icliiunnd." The Indianapolis Journal, in noticing tbe recent battle before Richmond, remarks: But, as discouraging as it may be to them (the rebels) to see the euclusing army impiegnable to their asaaults, it dues not greatly cheer us to ee it stick as fast after every battle as if it were a wall indeed. Battles that leave both parties where they were, as nil before Richmond have done, are useless murder!. We begin to doubt whether McClellau has the men or the brains lor hi work, arid it is very hard to lo.-e so bmbj - ii'.- oi tiuijSe men in letting him prove it. We call attention to this wholesale slander of McCLkLLAS and his gallant army. All accounts agree that this division of the army has fought bravelv and heroically since landed upon the peninsula. McCllllas has fought his way against great odds. Opposed to him is the flower of the Southern army, and its ablest Generals. He has not been permitted to carry out his plans, and until quite recently he has not been reinforced, although it was known to the War Department that the rebel army outnumbered our forces. The army of tbe Potomac, instead of being under one head, so there cuuld be unity of purpose and action, was cut up iuto four division, under dis tinct commands, and the result has been jeal ousie and diffei encts of opinions a to the Operations or" each, until iili.i resulted in inglorious repulses and failures. The responsibility of the failure of Gen. h Clellan to accomplish the capture of Richmond ere this, as be confidently expected to do, is not with him. If he has not the men fur the work, an the Journal intimate-, be cerlaiiilj cau not be heid responsible for their incapacity or deficiencies. But there ia no lack ot courage or fighting qualities in the army before Richmond. The) Lave proven this in every engagement with the enemy. But f the Journal means that McClella has not bad the numbers to succeed in his work, that accounts for the iualecieav km tile which have been fought, and he certainly is not deserving of censure therefor. It has been charged, over and over again, with very indication of plausibility, that the radicals did nut desire the )oung General to succeed at Richmond ou account of his known conservatism. More (nan this, it has been stated that jealousy of his becoming tbe hero in defeating ad dispersing the rebel army at its own capital, SSM sswhauss! id bis operations. We hope these charges, for the honor of the country, are untrue. Bui they have currency, and are be lievjjk Hut there is no evidence yet that Oen. Mi CiALLAV lacks "brains for his work." The last Dttagoaisrit im classified by those who wer pre--ot as a brilliant strategical movement, and by BM SMana an "indecisive battle." Hi position upon the Chick. ihomny was a bad one. It was ' a pestilent swaasp. The withdrawal of his

left wing to a better and more healthy position, und the contraction of bis lines, it is Mid, makes him strongor than before. In addition to this, he has now the aid of the gunboats upon tbe James river, which wor of but little assistance before, and a better communicatiou for his supplies. He succeeded in thus changing his position, repelliug at the same time a furious onslaught of the enemy, punishing them severely. The Journal claims to be in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. But how does it manifest this sentiment? Upon the first report indicating a reverse, without waiting for the facts in the case, it abuses in the meanest and harshest terms both commander and army . The men who are in the field, fighting the battles of the Constitution and the Union, facing the dangers and suffering the privations of the war, should have not only the generous sympathy of the people, but their liberal support. Instead of this, the Journal seeks opportunities to abuse men and officers for not accomplishing what the tacts in the case may reveal to have heeu impossible.

Republican Corruption More Erl dence. There is an old and eminent Senator from Rhode Island. Of course be is a Republican. Indeed he is particularly strong in the faith, and was ardently in favor of war frum the tii-st, und against any peaceful settlement of our ditlicul ties. He comes from virtuous New England, and has alwavs regarded Southern sinners with not the least degree of allowance. He is in favor of high tariffs and heavy taxes on Western people, but being a rich man himself, and des r ing to remain so, be is very careful in his legislation to keep the tax gatherer uway from his own door. But circumstances have just transpired which would cast a slight suspicion on his disinterested patriotism in the mind of auy one except a selfrighteous Republican. During the winter aud spring past this apostle of the Republican faith procured lor a firm up ii. New England a contract tu make fifty thousand guns for the Government. Oue of the parties to this contract wrote a letter a few days after he obtained it to anutiier party offering to sub-let, and stating that Hon. Jamks F. Simmons, Sena, tor from Rhode Island, was to be paid one dollar per gun as bis commission for going to tbe the War Department and telling the Secretary of War to give this contract to his friend, thus making the sum of fifty thousand dollfljs for a tew hours' troubie and perhaps a considerable amount of lying. 1 his letter, or a copy of it, fell into the hands of Joslpu Holt and Robebt Dale Owen, who are sitting as r. commission to examiue fraudu lent contracts in Washington. They summoned the parties to this contract, and then the p .triot ! Simmons himself before them, and there under i , a , . oalli established the tact that said Simmons was to get his tilty thousand dollars, and had taken j lutes of hand lor ten thousand dollars besides ' for his efforts in behalf ot the public service ti i - u I Holt and Owu have made a report, and the ; above is its substance. Of course if a party could afford to pay a United States Senator sixtv thousand dollars in . . . i a matter of mere well defined contract, he must m.ike it up in the increased price paid him by the I

Government. Thus the people, the hard work- a,ld assistants. 1 his will create several thousand a , I new offices, at the disposal ot the National Adiii " tax-pavers, pay Senator Aimmons sixtv thou- 1 . - . . r. ... v J ministration, with salanes ranging trom one tu sand dollars.

Constitutional Liberty. Judge Thomas, a Republican member of Congress, in a speech in the House on the 24th of last month, in opposition to the proposed confiscation and emancipation bills, made the following eloquent remarks upon the duty of obedience to tbe Constitution. Coming from such a source, we commend them to the attention of those who agree with him in political sentiment: That the bills before the House are in violation of the law of nat'ons and of the Constitution, I can not I say it with all deference to ethers I can not entertain a doubt. My pith of duty is plain. The duty of obedience to that Constitu tion was never more imperative than now. I am not disposed to deny that I have for it a superstitious reverence. I have worshipped it from my forefathers. In the school of rigid di-ipl.tie by which we were prepared lor It, in the struggles out of which it whs bt.i-n, the .-even ye rs of bitter conflict and the seven darker years in which that conflict seemed to be fruitless of good, in the wisdom with which it was constructed and first administered and set ii motion, in the beiieti cent Government that it has secured for more than two generations, in the blessed in flu en ces it has exerted upon the cause of freedom and humanity the world over, I can not fail to recognize the hand of a guiding and loving Providence. But not for the blessed memories of the past only do I cling to it. lie must be blinded with excess of light, or with the want of it, who does not see that to this nation, trembliug on the verge of dissolution, it is the only possible bund of unity. With this conviction wrought into the very texture of my being, I believe I can appreciate this conflict, cn understand the necessity of using all the txiwers given by the Constitution for the suppression of this rebellion. They ait,, as I believe, and as the progress of our arms attests, ample tor the purpose. 1 do not, therefore, see the wisdom of violating or impairing the Constitution in the effort to save it, or of passing from the pestilent heresy of St:tte secession to the equally fatal one of State suicide. The ti uits of the first are anarchy and perpetual border war; of the second the growth of military power, the loss of the centrifugal force of the States, the merging of the States in the central Government; a republic in name and form, in substanne and effect a despotism. Mr. Speaker, at a time like this the individual is nothing, the country everything. He cannot truly love his coiiniry mho is anxious about himself. He cannot have a single eye to the welfare of the Republic if both eyes are turned hourevvard. He cannot keep step to the music of the Union who is grinding fantasies for the village of Buncombe.

Tiie Tax Bi I If und tlie Numerous Offices it Creates. The tax bill has at length passed both Houses of Congress, and only awaits the signature of the President to become a law. It is to take effect ou the 1st of August. The people will, therefore, soon see the national tax-gatherer approaching their doors for the first time in the history ot the nation. Public attention thus far has only bcn directed to the long list of articles to be taxed and the schedule of rates, the manner and mode of collecting the tax has attracted but litile notice. Our readers will see by thu-e sections of the law which nrnviile for miuiiio it into operation, which we published the other day in the Herald, that it provides for a small .n my of ottke holders, with good salaries a feature that will create no little commotion among the ufbeeeej.ers I the fipt place, there i to be a Commissioner f Internal Revenue at Washington, surrounded bJ' his eeessarv assistants and clerks, to be the centre ol all operations. The President has the ower lo (livi( , üiffereilt SuUea jIlto du,riets t the number in e.idi State not to exceed the number of representatives in both Houses of Congress. For each uistrict there are to be appointed an assessor and collector, with assistants. These districts are to be subdivided into converiient districts, with deputy assessors, eollectois will be full of patriotism, under this incentive, ready to serve the Government under this hw, however much they may have detested shouldering the mu-ket iu their country's defence; and we mav expect soon to see thuse scenes that were enacted in Washington upon President Lincoln's taking the helm oi government re-enacted in every particular. The squabbles between the different factions will be renewed with all their former vigor. This will no doubt tie the absorhthe army at Richmond. In view of the lare number of offices created by this bill, the scramble that will take place to obtain them, with the spoils attached, und the importance that they should be tilted with a better class than usual, the President shouid forthwith establish some national principle as a oasis or guide lor their selectiun. He should mark out such course fur his action as will prevent these important positions from filling into the hands ol another set of inefficient officials like those in possession of our custom houses and post unices throughout the country. The public will juile of die law a gie.it deal by the characterof the men who execute it iu their midst. Let us. then, have men in every particular competent and conservative, and not of that class which will furnish work fur a Congressional investigating cummittee in every tax distinct, like our Custom Huuse in this city N.

Taxes, Taxes! Whatever we have lacked before in the want of knowledge us to the capacity of the country to bear taxation, we me in the way now of making up for all such deficiencies. The tax bill now before the President for approval will entitle us to a fair standing among the old and effete monarchies of Europe, so far ns the universality of taxes will give us a position. That an exten sive system of taxation is necessiry to support the Goverrment no one will doubt. Il is the price the people must pay for slavery agitation. Whether there are any who will think the price moderate, even it slavery is abolished, we must doubt. Hut whatever the judgment of the masses upon this point may be, there is not a man, woman or child, now living, who can hope to see the day when this burden shall cease to weigh them down. We shall publish the law at length as soon as t is received, and we hope every individual will keep it where il can be cun stanilv referred to, for it marks u new era iu the history ot our nation.

No charges and no specifica tions have vet been made against him, aud in stead of a trial he has been confined in prison from that day to this What explanation has the Government to make? Is it because General Birney is an abolitionist that his case could be attended to at once? Is General Stone the vie tim of some abolitionist's vengeance? Chicago Times. W The milleniiim is rapidly approaching for the brukers. Gold is at a fabuluus premium and Treasury notes a-e a legal tender. The country, therefore, is on the brink nf one of these terrible financial convulsions, which are nearly as dire'ul in their effects as war. We say upon the "brink," because we believe it may te averted by an honest and economical administration of the treasurv and hv the pursuit of a sound financial policy by Mr. Lincoln and his advisers.

London Correspondence of the Manchester Guardian. Tlie Opening of Hie International Kxlubltion. London, Thuusday, May 1. The metroKlis was roused to activity aud animation this morning by one of those great events wiiich happen only two or three times in the lif-'-time of a generation, and which communicate an electric impulse to the whole commiinii v. From an early hour, and from the nux-t distant suburbs, the tide of population wound itself westward. Eailv railway trains brought their contingents; the new Manchester omnibuses supplied a new and attractive addition to our public vehicles; coroneted carriages dashed through the fashionable squares; every description of brougham and fly was in requisition; and all the cabs in London seemed bent upon a summer pi'grimaire to South Kensington, while the carriage ways were almost impassable, and a block soon established itsdf near the Exhibition building. The footways adjacent were filled with a motley crowd of ladies in summer costume twho wisely left their carnages to gain the budding on toot.) and the sons and daughters of toil who had come out to enjoy a holiday and celebrate the inauguration of a buildin filled with the choicest products of human skill, and consecrated to the dignity of labor. The sky was lowering, and a little rain fell early in the morning, but the clouds soon cleared oflT, arid a hot and brilliant summer's day gladdened the hearts of the entire metropolis. An innumerable concourse of sightseers surrounded the building all day, and were amply rewarded by the flashing of steel blade, curass, and helmet in the sun; and the glare of scarlet uniforms. The state carriages of the Royal Commissioners, foreign ambassadors, the Queen's Ministers, officers of state, and great noblemen kept the West End in a fever of excitement, and made so gay and and beautiful a show at the doors of the Exhibition, that it is almost doubtful whether the multitude without the building did not feast their eyes and enjoy the spectacle provided for them as vividly as the more aristocratic occupants of the interior. Long before the hour for opening the Exhibition, thousands of season ticket holders had gathered around all the entrances. At hall-past ten all the doors were opened. There was a little screaming among the ladies when the crowd resolutely set itself (as only a British crowd can) to squeeze its way through the entrances; and in went a stream of visitors trom half a dozen separate entrances. Admission being gained, they rushed down the nave, swept across the courts and transepts, and flew along the building in a state of wild excitement. The International Exhibition of 1862 is a more gigantic building than its predecessor, but it wants something of the airy lightness of the Crystal Palace, for the roof is not of glass, The interior, however, is nobly proportioned, with superb vistas, two gigantic crystal domes, and a grandeur in its dimensions which fills without oppressing the imagination. The decorations are more beautiful and elaborate than those of the Hyde Parke building. Color is more plentifully and more richly employed on the roof than was possible in a glazed edifice. The effect is, therefore, warmer, and still exceedingly harmonious. Brightly-colored flags were yesterday hung between each pillar, and the view of the nave, taken from either extremity of the building, resembled for gaiety and richness the colors of a kaleidoscope. Still, with all these points of superiority, the Exhibition will be to many somewhat of a disappointment. It is compared to a huge overgrown bazaar, which in a sense it is. The trophies and giant rases in the cen tral nave, not always in tne Dest taste, wouiu alwnv confirm this imnression. but still tlie ii w ' 'mil aaa a j hopes and anticipations which the lamented Prince Consort formed of the new building are tullv iiistified: and the snectaele of to-day, to use the Prince's own words, was calculated to excite a "feeling of deep thankfulness tc the Almighty for the blessings which he has bestowed upon us already here below." It was a point, to-day, whether the west or east dome furnished the best point of view. The Duchesses of Sutherland, and Argyle, Lord and Lady Constance (irosvenor, and their party, selected the gallery near the Western dome. Here a decorated velvet canopy, with throne, chair of state, and seats for the Royal Commissioners, were found; and here took place the presentation of the address by the Earl Granville to the Commissioners. But the Eastern dome was, upon th whole, the favored and favorite site, for here was the , T - . - I

collossal orchestra, containing 2000 singers and 400 instrumentalists. The lady singers, numbering 500 or 600, were all dressed Jm whh, with a few warm bits of color here and there; and the orchestra, thus adorned, presented a charming appearance from the furthest extremity of the buildtng. A raised dais was also provided here, with seats of state, for the Royal Commissioners. Here, too, the visitors of greatest distinction was placed. The Queen Mother of Spain, accompanied by her husband, the Duke of Rianzarcs, had a seat near the orchestra. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Her Majesty gave her arm to the Crown Prince of Prussia, who escorted her to the picture galleries. There also, the observed of all observers, were the Japanese Ambassadors and their suite, six in all, who were attired in Japanese costume, and occu pied conspicuous places. They are rather stout, with faces by no means indicative of intelligence but rather heavy, if not sensual. Their heads are shaved, with the exception of a little patch at the crown, and, as they wear no head-gear, the little black top-knot has a somewhat grotesque appearance. The central portions of the building and the galleries commanding a view of the proceedings were densely crowded in every part Not fewer than 45,000 season ticket holders

were said to be present, and. as no inconsiderable portion of them paid five guineas for their tickets, the sum already netted must be considerable. About 12:30 Her Majesty's Ministers, the Foreign Commissioners, and others taking part in the procession, assembled in the South Central Court. A piercing blast of trumpets announced the arrival of the Royal Commissioners. A procession was then formed, which passed along the north side of the nave to the Eastern dome. As all the members of the procession were in official, academical, or court dress, or in uniform, it may easily be imagined that the moving glittering throng presented a brilliant and stately picture. The Poet Laureate demurred, I believe, to appear, and the young ladies who expected him to march, covered with bays between the superintendents of Exhibition arrangements, and the Lord Mayor looked in vain lor the author of "Locksley Hall." Tlie Duke of Buccleuch, and the Bishop of Winchester walked with the council of the Horticultural Society; Mr. H Cole and Vice Chancellor Page Wood with the Society of Arts; Sir J. Pakington with the guarantors of the Exhibition; Mr. W. Fairban with the Earl of Shelburne and members of the Building Committee. The Chait aiau of Juries contained among their body men of Eurofiean reputation Michel Chevalier, R Murchison, Baron Gros, Mr. Syme, of Edinburg, Aries Dufour, &c. The Foreign Acting Commissioners and the Presidents of Foreign Commissions wore uniforms, some civil and others : military, which gave agreeable variety to English court dress and the umdsor uniform. Lord Overstone, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. W. Cowper, M. P. Mr. Lowe, M. P. Sir C. Eastlake, &c, walked in front of the group of the Royal Commissions of 1851 ; while Earl Granville, the Duke of Buckingham. Sir C. W. Düke, Mr. T. Baring, M. P. and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn appeared as Her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 18G2. Almost all the Cabinet Ministers were present in their rich official costume of blue and gold, with the exceptiou of those who were lord lieutonanls of counties. Mr. Gladstone looked, at times, absent and abstracted, as if lie were preparing his financial duel with Disraeli, which was to come off an hour or two later. Tue right honorable member for Bucks also looked somewhat gloomy and pre-oecupied, as it from a similar cause. These high officials having passed, Her Majesty's Special Commissioners for the opening came into view. The Duke of Cambridge looked about him with characteristic good humor and bonhommie, and appeared delighted with the spectacle that disclosed itself in the progress round the building. The Crown Prince of Prussia, looking well, and walking with the light and elastic step of youth, was on his right, and Prince Oscar, of Sweden, darker of hair and complexion than beseems a Xorihern Prince, on his left. The venerable Arch-bishop of Canterbury, with his Christian sweetness of feature, followed. Then came the Lord Chancellor, in his State robes, wearing his full bottomed wig, and as purple in the face as if it hat! just issued from an encounter with Lord Chelmsford. His purse bearer marched before, and his train bearer held up his robe behind. Lord Derby, who walked with difficulty by the aid of a stick, only attended, we may be sure, in obedience to the wishes of' his Sovereign, whose mandate was equally powerful in Dringing over the royal visitors who graced the ceremonial. Lord Palme rston, looking well and walking as if he had quite shaken off his recent malady, marched by the side of the speaker, who was preceded by Lord C. Russell, who carried the mace which usually lies upon the table of the House of Commons. The Speaker wore his gold-embroidered robe and wig. and he too was followed by his train bearer. Then came the gentlemen in attendance on royal jiorsonages, the whole being brought up by the pipers of the Scots Fusilier Guards, in Highland costume. The pro.'cssiou proceeded down the North side of the nave to the western dome. Having taking their places around the throne, a verse of the Royal Anthem was sung, and Earl Granville read the address to the Queen's Commissioners. The Duke of Cambridge, in reply, paid a well merited tribute to the memory of the late Prince Consort, and expressed the hope that the Exhibition would prove worthy of him who designed it. The procession then passed along the north side of the nave to the Eastern dome, where the music specially' composed for this occasion was performed. It consisted of a grand overture by Meyerbeer, who was present. The overture may be resolved into a triumphal march, a sacred march, and a quick march and national air. Tbe composition is worthy of the composer of the "Huguenots" and "Le Prophete." The variations on "Rule Britannia,'' with which the overture terminated, are e.i eedingly lively and ingenious. A chorale by Dr. Sterndale Bennett was then performed, Mr. Costa descending from the dais of the conductor The chorale was composed for the ode written for the opening of the Exhibition by the Poet Laureate, with which our readers are already acquainted. The music has a mournful, plaintive character which touched all hearts, and drew tears from the eyes of many of the gentler sex. After the ode, a prayer was offered up by the Bishop of London. Handel's ''Hallelujah Chorus," sung by the full power of 2000 voices, aided by the whole of the instruments, followed, with grand effect. Here there was a momentary pause. The Duke of Cambridge, lookiu at Air. Costa, exclaimed, "The 1 National Anthem!'" But Mr. Costa hesitated, evidentlythinking that " God save the Queen" ought to follow the announcement ot the openiug of the Exhibition. His Royal Highness gave way to Mr. Costa, and said, " Lnder tue AUTHORITY OF HEB MAJESTY'S ROYAL Commission, I declare that the Exhibition IS OPESED." A hearty cheer was set up, almost the first heard throughout the day, and the band and chorus gave the " National Anthem" with the I created PDirit Another cheer arose, and j sj 4 a s ; then the procession, leaving the dome, VLited j the picture galleries, and gave a hurried claiue at the treasure of ait therein enshrined, the Darners were removea, ana the vast assemblage allowed to circulate freely throughout the building. This was, perhaps, the most picturesque moment of the ceremony. The neat blue and silver of French officials; the gay scarlet robes and gold chains of English Mayors and Aldermen; the handsome semi-military uniforms of deputy lieutenants, with their heavy silver epaulettes; the astonishing number of old Generals, who, headed by Viscount Gough, their breasts resplendent with Peninsular and Indian medals, clasps and orders, hobbled down to see this new wonder of the world: the academical robes and scarlet hoods of doctors of divinity; the never-ending variety of volunteer uni- . . mi i a

forms, varied with those of the Guards and Line; and last, but not least, the tens of thousands of the fairer sex, attired in all the hues and tasteful fabrics of summer made up together a scene of infinite animation and brilliancy. The recollection of the loss of the Prince Consort doubtless exercised a saddening influence on the ceremony; yet he lives still in his works.

Artrmni Ward at Washington. Artemus has been on a visit to Washington. He describes his iterview with old Abe as follows: I called for Abe. He received me kindly. I hantied him my umbreller and told him i'd have a c'ueck for it if he pleased. " That," said he, " puts me in mina of a little story. 1 here was a man in our parts so mean that he took his wife's coffin out the back winder, for fear he would rub the paint off the doorway. 'Wall about this t'me theie was a man in a edjacent town, who had a green cotton umbreller." "Did it fit him well? Was it custom made? Was he measured for it ?" "Measured for w rat'.'" said Abe. "The umbreller." "Wall, as I was sayin'continued the President, treatin' the intHnion with apparent contempt, "this mailed he'd known that there umbreller ever since it was a parasol. Ha, ha, ha !' "Yes, sed I, larfin in a respectful manner, "but what has this man with the umbr.'llt r to do with the man who took his wife's coffin out the back winder? "To be sure," sed Abe '-what was it? I must have got two stories mixed together, which put me in mind of another lit "Never mind, your Excellency, I called to congratulate you on your career, which has been honest antl a good one unscarcd and unmoved by Secesh in front of you and Abbolish at the back of you eaeh one of which is a little wuss than the other if possible! "Tell E. Stanton that his boldness honesty and vigor merits all praise, but to k".ep his under garments on. E. Stanton has apparently only one weakness, which it is, he can't alius keep his undergarments from flying over his hed. "I mean that he occasionally dances in a peck-measure, and he don't look graceful at it." I took my dearter. "Good bye, old sweetness!" sed Abe, "shakin" me corgully by the hand. "Adoo, my Prahayrie flower!" I replied, and made my exit. "Twenty-five thousand dollars a year and found," 1 soliloquised as I walked down the street, "is putty good wages for a man with a modist appytite. but I reckon it is worth it to run the White House." Wonderful Invention. We this week witnessed the type-setting and type-distributing machine, invented by Timothy Alden, once a New York printer, but a native of Massachusetts. Tho invention cost twenty years of labor, the life of the inventor, aud SI 0,000 in money. It is impos sible to convey to the unttiated the utility and genius of this remarkable invention. It is, pcrliaps, enough to say, that one machine is capable of producing the work of six or eight men. and with its cost placed at the high price of SI, 600, it will reduce the price of ordinary type-setting, at present rates from one half to two-thirds. Its great simplicity is one of its most interesting qualities. The fruit it produces arc as near to thinking and reading as one can imagine. One directing mind, with ordinary ( -are .can produce the most extraordinary reul ts It may be worked by hand or steam. The printer will comprehend what such a discoveryis, when we say it picks up the type, spells the words, spaces them properly, assorts the types again after they have been used, into their appropriate channels, and from these again are drawn out and set up when needed for a second use. There are one hundred aud fif y-four types and characters, including capitals, i;alics, figures, spaces, points of punetua tion, and all at once under the control of on" person, who has but to touch the kevs of tins' j circular machine to produce all these combina tion?.
