They were hark! that the time wits too short fore tirro . per-display, but therindemitible spirit ofenterprbus .which 'characterizes our people * wits equal to the emergency, tiskri the fair more thworeeited all . that the most ardent friends of Attaricin - lalustry could base expected. The display of artscles was .grand and beautiful, and the Saloon was visited, by an immense concourse of people Who thronged to . Washington to view the vast display of !hearts and manufachrres of our country. ' No leas than fifteen bundred persons left Baltimore in a single day for. Washington to see the exhibition. 'the National batelligencer says: ~". is_particulerly gratifying to Observe that the numerous visitors who throng the spacious build ing 110 not parade through jt--ae though they had heed brought tsgether; from mere motives of curi osity to'behola a rarcind novel spectaile, but they are busily employed in examining the qualities, in quiring the price:hind other circumstances attend-, ing the various specimens of manufactures; thus enabling themselves, as American citizens strongly interested in thegnestion, 5y ascertaining the value .1 of the American to act knowingly upon it. This is all that the rnanufacturescan require : they can have no more anxious wish than that the Public. the consumers of the articles which they produce, should . have the means ( or judging for themselves. To this test the manufacturers may 'very safely and confidently trust the question of the encour agement due to American industry." „. . T.. he display of the Household Furniture is said to be rich almost beyond comparison—a single, set of chamber furniture from the establishment , .of Crawford Riddle of Philadelphia, made of rose. word,and beautifully carved,is valued at sBooo. The • beadstead alone is worth $2(500. The Silver Ware from the Messrs.. Wilson's of Phila delphia is superb, and the prices are said to be 15 per cent less than the foreign wares can be purchased. The display Of Carpets was very rich,, and also, the display of Military Equipments. The able editor of the New York Tribune, who is now at Washington, gres as follows his first impressions of the Fair: have been looking over the fabrics - already in position, athid the rattle and - din of,preparatioo, until my head aches, yet-have glanced at but a portion of whatla already itiailinginspection.— It is a'vsst and gratifying Exhibition. Of Cot ton Goods, and indeed of woven textair-e-Sgener ally, there has been no previous - eihilitjon equal •in extent and variety on this continent if any where. I speak not now of the fineness or excel-' lence of the goods; of that another time. This is manifestly not an -.exhibition of show-goods, of articles get up for the occasion, ur:of noYeltija, va rieties and luxuries., There are • qualities of the commonest staples for every day wear'. On most of the articles the width rind price per yar I is mark ed, and it isintentled to be on all on many the card tells you the fineOss, weight, &e. as well as' where made. and by , i - Vhom old. J The People and their Representatives are invited to see just how shockingly they are plunderedby the manu facturers and how much truth tlierri, is in the as sertion that an increase of duties rieccessarily leads to'an increase of prices. There are at least five hundred varieties of American Calicoes ors'Prints ranging from 6, to 20 cents pe'r yard: some at 7 cents, which no lady need be ashamed to wear.— (The duty on Foreign Calicoes is 9 cents per square yard, or about 7 cents:the. running yard.) There are wide . . Shirtings at 7 to 8 cents ; good Sheetinga at, 63 tb 133 cents—the latter unsur passable. For Summer wear; th l ere are Jeans at 9 to 15 cents; sturdy doubled-twilled Cheeks cost ing 20 cents which Europe cannot match at 25; Drillings of every style at 8 to lZ cents—not to be rivalled in the , China or .any open market by any British fabrics. For Winter use, there are Kerseys and Plains from 14 cents per yawl. up to 30: Flanriels from 20 to 31. (very good ;) Cas simeres sorbewlist,highsjr, but still within the easy reach of any•man who can earn fifty cents a day. Mind you all these ore the very' de,sinptiona of goods on which the present Tariff levies WS high est rates of duties—so that it is said to tax the prior man's chithing 50.100, or even 150 per cent: according to the fancy of the declaimer. Ido wish that all the potir men of the land could but •15ok through this exhibition, learn the prices of every article they wear and compare them with prices - of - five yeari Here is a fact worth stating: IA Boston iii4or ter—impelled: try :pure phiranthrophy, of course,- 7 has for a portion of this kession occupied' the C4n= . . mittee-room of, the Capitol as an exhibition rem for choice speciniens a bf British Manufactures, comparing the quality i nd price ',with what'he set forth as like specimens orArnericinfaltrics.

Waddy Thompson. late Min - later to Ttl'exiio has just issued an interesting work entitled ~R ecollections of Mexico." As every thing relating to this country at the present junc ture4d. of . .tirs is read with interest, we make a few ext r acts from the work gi;ing a description of the city of, Mexico: . • 1 Tim City - of Mexico. The city Of Mexico Is said to be the tinest built city on the Articric4n - Continent. In some respects it cer tainly is its: In the principal streets the 'houses are all constructed according to the strictest architectural rules. I,lW:foundation's of the city were'laid. and the first huittlitt6 were erected by Cortes, who didevery thing n till which he atteitipted,—from buildings house, Or writing a couplet, to i onquering an empire,.Many of the finest buildings in Mexico are still ow'ffr - il.hy his descendants. The public square is said to he unsur passed by any in the world ; it contains some tweivit or tifnoni acres paved with stone• 'The dihedral enters m-entire side, the palace another; the western side is isertipi i hl by a row of very high and substantial lonises, the seco ol stories of which project into the street the width ofi the pavement; till' lower stories ire occupied Icy' the piincipal retail inerchatjts of the city. :The niost of these hotores were built by Curt es.i who; with his char:islet isiic ragarity Aril an avarillt which equally cliaracteizeil him in the latter part of his life, selected the best portion of the wiry for himself.. The Plesident's Palace, formerly the palace of the viceroy's', is an immense building of three stories high, about fiee.handreil feet in length, and three hundred and fifty wide; it stands on the site of the palace of Moniteonia It is didieult to conceive of so'iburli stone and mortar Leine-'put bigetuer in a lesS tasteful and im posing .shape;. it has much inure th' appearance of a cotton fiefory or penitentiary than what it ically,is ; the windovis are small, and a parapet wall , runs the whole length of the building, witls nothing, is relieve the nintudony of its appearance except some very in different iirriamental work in the centre; there are no "deers in ihe front either of the second or third stories— nothing Insildispropottionately smill windows, and too many of Olen, ; the. three doors. and there are only three in the lon el',..story, are destitute' of all:architec tural !wittily or *flaunt. Only s very rattail part of this palarels appropriated to the residence of the Tres-. idea[ ;. a ll t1_, , ,. pi t liii,rtlices ate here, includim: those of heads the eads f the different departments.; ministers of war, foreign relations, funmice and justice, the ptiblic treasury, &c., &e. The halls of the house of deputies snot of the :Senate are also in.the same building and last and lea si'ther botanic g:trtlesi. 'After passing through all sorts of filth and dirt on the ti Cement story you, come li/ a dark barrow passage which conducts you toe mas sive door, which whet you have succeeded in opening, you enter ab apartment enclosed with light walls on every' tide but open at the top, 'and certainly tint ex reeding eighty feel Square, and this is the botanic gar den of th e palace of Ylexi4pc.; a fen:.elsrubs and plants and the celebrated manila tree, are all that it contains. 1 have rarely in my life seen a more gloomy amt ileso. lite looking plare. It is much more like it prison than a garden. A decrepit palsies' old man. said to be more tai in a hundred years old. is the superintendent of the establishment; no one could have liven selected more' in keeping with the.gtitieral delapidation'and dreariness 1 of this melsincholy adair. Ilut the cathedral, which occupies the Site of the great idol temple of !Montezuma. offer:l'a striking contrast. It is five hundred feet long. by four hundred and twenty wide. It witu:d be suttertlimus to add another to the matty descriptions of this fanisiis building which have already been published. Like all other churches in Mex ico, ills hunt in the Gothic style. Time wall, of several feet thickness, and made of unliewn stone and lime.— Upon pull - Till!! 11, one is apt to recall the wild fictions of the Arabian Nights; it Seems as if the wealth of empires was collected there: 'The clergy of Melba, do not, fir obvious reasons, desirelhat their wealth should he matte known to its fill'aextent s ,they are:therefore, not disposed to give very full information upon the sub- - ject, or to exhibit the gold and silver vessels, vases. KIT ions stones, and other forms of wealth; quite enough is exhibited to strike the'beholder with wontlet . The first object that presents itself on entering the cathedral is the altar, 'War the centre of the building ; it is Mallen( highly-wrought and highly polished silver, and covered with a. profusion of ornaments .of pure gold. On each ante of this altar flingat balustrade, en rhlSl!!g a space about eight feet wide and eighty or a hundred feet long. Mu, balusters are about four feet high, and fisur inches thick lit,the largest lass rt ; the hand-rail, from six to eight inches wide. Upon the top of this hatid-rail at the distance of six or eight feet apart. are I [Marian images, beautifully wrought, and about two feet high.' All of these, the balustrade, hand rail, and Metces, are made of a compound Of gold. sil ver:and coimer—morel valuable than silver. I was told that an otTer had been made to take laic tralustrade, and replace it with another of exactly the same size and workmanship of pure silver, and to give half a nollion of dollars besides. There is much more of same balustradelin-other parts of the church; I should think in all of it; not less than three hundred feet. As yourAVallt through the building, on either side there are different apartments, all filled from the. floor to the ceiling, with paintings, statues. huge Candlesticks, Wait ers, and a thousand other aSticles, ',lade of gold or sil ver. This too, is only the every day display of anti cle.s of lea. t value; the tnore costly arc stored away in chests and closets. XVltat'filtist it be when all these are brought out, 'with the ihubense quantities of precious stones which the church is known to possess I Arid .titia is only one of the churches of the city of Mexico. where there are between sixty and eighty others, and some of them pw•sessing, little 'less wealth than the cathedral ;! and it omit also he remembered, that all the other large t lips, such as Puebla, Guatellalara: Guan ajunto, Zafatteas, Ilstrango,.San Louis, Potosi, have, each a proportionate number of equally gorgeous,es tablislimeits.. , ' P The Ifitilidiligs of Mexico. Thep. tti not, I believe, a 11. court, of greater Or less dimensions. in proportion to the size of the hdildijig. There is only one door on the lower door, and none at all on the outside of the upper slimy. This door is very stronsty bit itt, and high e nough fan coach to pass through: it opens iron the pa tio through which you pass to the steps leading to the sipper stories, where alone everybody lives except the lots est classes. In all the establishments of the hither classes, the basement story is only occupied by tiw ser vants and as luzolier.rooms, and what struck me as very strange, its stables. Ido not suppose there is !such a senarate building in the city as a stable. In vi siting Count Certuna, for example, whose whole es ta'ilishment is altogether princely, and others of equal splendor and luxury, I ouu l this court lih the ground floor used as a stride, and passed through rows of liar , ses and carriages to make my way to the most spacious ! halls, filkll with paintings of the great masters, and ! furnished throughout in a style altogether gorgeous.— In snore bf the larger private buildings thirty or forty different fatuities reside; each one having rented one or t wit resins: all entering atthe only outsideiloor into the court. which 'is the conunon property!of all—and from which each one hati an entrance to Ills own rooms on the ground door .or the gallery above, which runs I all around the building. do not think that the area covered by the city of Mexfro can exceed two miles in length, and a mile and n half in width; a very !small space to he occupied by a population of nearly two hundred' thousand. • But it is not at ill surprising when you see thirty or forty families, enough to make a respectable village. all huddled-away in one house, ant consider what a large number sleep in the open air that delightful climate. How pure Hlllst be the atmos phere when the city of Mexico is so remirkaLly healthy tintwithsianding such a crowded and filtayitnode of living, and with a tropical sun shining upon 04 moist surface of the whole valley! One would tidok the latter sufficiuntofiteelf to produce the most fatal mala i rm. ! = 22 111 . 0111 gra! • bring Pstrly ti in lie • . , It is a little curious that whilstthe buildings and rm ulatiou hf lifeliro are Outs crOwded into so small a space, and the reins arc three times as high as in the city of New York, yet all around the city there is a va cant groUnd, and as dry us the city itself, which may be had almost for the taking. I was riding nut with a friend one evening.when he showed me a square con taining between five and six acrei. m the rear of the Plana de Toros' n the outskirts of the city; and not more than half or three quarters of a mile film the public square, which he had just purchased for four hundred.dollars. Wby then lots arenot improved and the city extended, I cannot easily comprgbend, • sth of I:',/Zat It isAtated that Mr. Cunard is arranging a line of Stcam Ships to run between Liverpool and New York,. on the alternate week's With those running to Boston, making - p_.weekly communication by steam across the Atlantic.

He did soJ and took up his march again for the earn,, on be!morning of the' 14th, , with from six, to eight hundred men. a park of ar tillery, and about 'two hundred and fifty _wagons. He was met about midway v between Point, Isabel and the camp, late on the evening of the 15th •Up to that time he him not met the enemy, nor was it anticipated thatt he would encounter opposition, as the-general impression Was that the enemy had retreated from 'our sod, immediately after their di4- 'estrous defeat on the. 9th and 10th, and sought safety on the west bank,of the Rio Grande. While Gen. Taylor j iva at Pointiiabel he 1 re ceived intelligence that the . Mexicans were gather ing in large numbers Qt B: rrita, neexican town, immediately on the bank o the Rio Grande.

' . - Gen. Taylor intended to cross the river on a bride formed ofl 3 le boxes of his wagons caulked tighl. For this - 'urpose he had ordered all the oakum at Point Isabel to he sent up to the' camp. Captain Griffin heard nothing ; whatever of the report that Paredes was marching to Matamoros - with 15,000 :nein, nor Was there any certainty that the Mexicans had been reinforced `the gen eral;opfnion, however, was that they had been. There were none of the enemy between the camp atut Point Isabel; if any remained en this side of the river, they were 'glove the camp. , ' ,- • • :INTERESTING AND LAi'F.
