-The following correspondence we copy from the lifollidagsburg Register, thinking it would be interesting to many of onr readers : New YORK, July 29, 1933. MR. EDITOR:— After several days of unniiti. 1 :gated rain and general blue-devils, it cleared . up yesterday most brilliantly. The effect was quite visible at the Palace, the number of ad missions being greater than on any previous day; :Ix° persons entered on single tickets, and $1.920 were taken in at the doors. Con siderable progress has been lately made in the unpacking and arrangement of articles, 01,06- ally in the German Department. They have also been arrivals ,from France and Sardinia since mv.last letter. The Directors have at last conferred no email favor on the public by providing seats at intervals on the ground floor. Formerly there were very few, and these were oonfined to the galleries. Few exhibitions are so fati guitir as Fairs, for they compel one. if he world have the worth of his money, to he eon tinuelly on his feet. Hitherto many ladies have been obliged to shorten their visits, sins. ply in order to get a little rest, hereafter they will be tinder no such necessity. Some vial tors make a regular day of it at the Palace, re- Inailling from the hours of. opening to that of 'elosieg, The innerman can be refreshed by those whose parses are equal to rather extrava gant prices and who are willing to put np with very little attention, 'at the Saloon in the Pal. ace. The more ecomsmical however, slip a few crackers in their pocket and lunch as they more alone, gratifying the eye and the palate at the same time. Some provide for them selves more bountifully. During my last visit, I observed a couple of young men in the gallery with a package of bread and butter spread out before them, regaling themselves as unconcern edly as if they bad been the tenants of the building. The Palace is so large and the apartments into which the ground floor is divided are so numerous, that, when a party once get separa. ted, ten chances to one they will not find each other again in an hour. The other day I ob served a couple of ladies start forwniti with come impetuosity and seize the arm of an elder ly eentleman who has hastily coming up. "So we've found you at last!" cried one of them in a tone that denoted that she would not soon lose him again. The gentleman seemed equally rejoiced to recover his fair charge. Not only are umbrellas, parasols, and canes carefully quarantined at the several entraces, by young ladies who take them in charge tin til.the visitors leave, hut carpet-bags, bundles, and every thing carried in the hand, are sub jected to the same strict regulations. The oh ject of this is to guard against thefts, for any one that now appers within the building with is bundle in his hand is an object of suspicion and must undergo an examination. Before this rule was put in force, two ladies were seen going out each with a bundle of silk. They were naturally suspected of having helpsd themselves from some of the stalls, and were stopped. These suspicions turned out he un founded; but to prevent sneh unpleasant oc currences for the future all bundles whatever were put under the ban of the Police. No department in the Fair is better repre sented than that of nilver ware. Several Lon don manufacturers have contributed superb s h ow - caner filled with every variety of useful and ornamented articles in this line. Tea ser vices, fruit dishes, and pitchers wrought with the highest skill and in all the fancy devices that the taste of man can conceive, are here exhibi ted. Several of these are worthy of special no tice. First we have a fruit-dish. the base of which represents a scene from Doti Quixotte. The meagre knight and lank Rosinante. the thickest simple rustic Sancho and the peerless heroine to whom our errant adventurer pays the homage of his devotion, are all represent. ed with a fidelity which the painter would vain ly seek to equal. A little further on we have a silver group representing the landing of the Pilgrims at Plvmoth, Mess., in 1630. In the fere-ground is the Governor of the Colony, ac companied by Cart. Miles Standish. The me-, went selected is that of their interview with Samoset, the first Indian with whom any inter course was had. The attitudes are striking, and the costumes well preserved; the amaze ment of the savage, as he gazes on the new comers, is depicted to the life. In another ease we have a spirited representation of Sir Roger Coverly, and the gips) , fortune-teller reading to him his future from the lines upon his head. Several purely ornamental groups delineating Oriental life attract universal ad miration. One of these represents a halt by a spring in' the desert, several Arabians are seat ed beneath n stately palm-tree, while their hor ses are brewing in the neighborhood. Some of these pieces are as much as four feet hied,— The effect of silver in groups of this kind is fin er than that of any material I have seen used for the purpose. The chasing is of the most elaboratd kind. Handsomer ornaments than those we have just described need not be de s_ iced. One of these cases contains an object of no little interest, the Swiney Cup—a magnificent silver goblet fourteen inches high, executed by Messrs. Garrand of London. It is of the value of £lOO sterling, and in pursuance of the will of the late Dr. Swiney, is to be given, with the like sum of £lOO in cash; to the Author of the .hest published work on Jurisprudence," which shall have appeared before January 185% and which must be delivered at the office of the So ciety of Arts, Manufactures, and Science, at !London, by the 31st December, 1833, The 'competition for this prize is open to the Au thors of any nation; but the work must be pub lished at least in the English language. So, if any of your renders have ever published a hook on jurisprudence, let them send it along, hoping all things. One thing We can tell them —if they succeed, they will haire a cup for their sideboard that a king might be proud to drink out of. Only one theft has been committed thus far within the Palace, and that was some small ar ticle left exposed on a stand. This sufficently proves the vigilance and effectiveness of the Police. One of this body informed me that as 'soon as any pickpocket or thief, known as such to the more experienced officers, was found in tlits building, he was arrested, exhibited to the green-horns, and dismissied with a gentle ad monition not to come there again. We would suggest that their Daguerreotypes be taken by 'some of the eoinpeting exhibitors in this line, labelled, and hung up among the rest, so that visitors as well as policemen may be on their ttard. • We could wish that our city constabulary rye were as effective a body as the Crystal Waco Police; but unfortunately in this as in ther things our city government allows itself ) be surpassed by private enterprise. Not. rithstanding the immense taxation to which _, ur poop le are subjected, there is little securi• r in tins great city for property, life, or limb. fighway robberies are committed almost every ight even in the business sections of the city; rhile dock-larcenies, stabbings, and burglar to have come to be regarded as matters of purse which must some time befall every one. the feet is we require a thorough reorganize- Inn of our Police 'Department, and the ap lointment of officers with. reference to their ft elity and efficiency, and not because they are bisterous at the Polls, hurrahing for this can hiate or thnt.. An examination has lately eon had into the conduct of some of our po :vemen, which evinces a shameless breach of rtist and violation of duty. Kelly and Cusack ave been suspended front pay and duty for a '4.eitli each, for interfering and reli•asing from tistodv several of the Hibernians arrested by heir brother officers during the riot on the 4th.. May. Captain Ackerman has been sentenced a 15 - days' 9 uspensiun for acting on the adage lola “discretien is the better part of valor," *t showing the white feather on the earns oc ion. lint what avails suspension?

Preieeit ~n 'W House, so named after our accomplished his torian, the completion of which was celebrated on Thursday evening b 7 a dinner to the New York press. As a consequence of his hospi tality, some capital . notices of the establiah meet have since appeared in our papers, it is p fair exchange—a dinner for a puff. The build ing, however, is deserving of all their compli mentry notices. It stands on the corner of Broadway and Spring greets, and though not as large as some of our hotels is furnished as richly as the most magnificent of them. The entrance hall is very beautiful; the pillars that Rapport the ceiling are in a Moorish style and richly gilded, the floor is of colored mosaic and the walls are laid off in pannels adorned with the richly painted figures of cavaliers and dames in the costume of the chivalrous ore of Louis X IV. Considerable interest has been excited in our mercantile circles by the announcement that-a line of steam-packets is about being established between Geno and this city. Twelve voyages are to be made earls year, and the Sardinian government liberally patronize the enterprise by paying about $7,000 each voyage, for the transportation of mails. In the event of a war, seven of the steamers are to be ceded to the Government on payment of a stipulated sum. Silver charm is getting scarce again, the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia being unable to meet the demand. This calls for prompt action on the part of Government to remedy the evil; for paying four cents to get a dollar bill changed is something of an imposition. Nothing has as yet been done with regard to the establishment of an Assay office in this eitv, authorized at the last session of Congress. The difficulty is to procure a suitable building at a reasonable price. Several have been offered. but on terms that Uncle Sara has felt compelled to decline. Our recent rains have been succeeded by bright, charming weather; the mercury stands at 75. Cotton has declined the present week ono•eighth of a cent per pound. Yours, Colportage. . There are probably few persons, not imme diately connected with the American Tract Society, who are acquainted with its prodigious industry, nnd the extent to which it covers. with its colportage system, the wide area of civiliza tion in the United States. To the general reader, therefore, the following table, which we find in the American Messenger, showing the whole number of their counties, the number of eolporteurs in commission, etc., will be inter esting: e.) - .5.

What mighty engines are these great religions societies for the spread of chris tianity. Without the aid of any government sanction, end depending solely upon the gener osity of individual christians, there seems to be no field too wide for their exertions to cover, no obstacle sufficient to daunt them, and no lack of funds for any 'work they undertake, or ore called to perform, however great it may he. They have built up a nation in the Sandwich Islands; they are establishing christianity in Farther India; and it is not improbable they will give a christian Emperor to Chinn. It is worthy of remark, that the Messenger, so far from publishing this statement ostenta tiously, and with a view to procure for the So ciety the credit which is justly its due, simply intended to show the necessity for increased exertions. The editor says: "As the result of all the information we have, the best inclement we are able to form is, that there is this day needed in our country six hundred additional rolporteurs: that there is also needed eight experienced well qualified Superintendents of Colportage, each to have the care of one or more States, embracing from 300,nn0 to 1,000,000 souls; and that there is eenally needed eight able, gifted General Agents. to represent all the interests and claims of the Society in fields embracing not fir from a million of souls, with pastors, churches, la borers. and all the means of co-operation and supnort which can be secured." He adds that the colportage fields cover but ahont five hundred counties, containing nine millions of inhabitants; while them remain about one thousand counties, with not far from fourteen millions of souls, on which no colpor teur of the society labors. This is but one of the societids whose efforts are devoted to the home missions. The American Bible Society, the 'Presbyterian Board of Domestic Missions, the American Dome Missionary Society, the Baptist Dome' Missionary Society, and other equally powerful, are working away with the same wonderful energy and success. Starvation in Spain. It appears that the miserable condition to which Ireland was reduced a few years ago, is paralleled by what is now taking place in Spain. A writer in a French paper says : "In vain the venerable Bishop of St. Jac ques, in presence of more than six hundred unfortunates resembling moving corpses, who daily bescige his gate, has sold his mules and his carriage. In vain has he reduced himself and his servants to the merest necessaries, in order that he might oive the rest to those who perish of hunger. A'lll that ho or the other bishops and clergy, all that the govern can do, according to the Espertotta, in but a drop of water to extinguish the conlla o wration. When we speak of the government, however, we must romember that the last contribution made by it of 3,000,000 of reals had not been distribu ted. In the mountains, the starving die by dozens, and in many places fevers of the most danger ous character we joined to the famine. Hun. dreds of sick, expire for want of nourishment and medicine. 'the streets of our cities are encumbered with old men, women and children, with the visages of corpses covered with miser able rags, and even worse, troubling themselves no longer except to die in quiet, and imploring with loud cries, the succors of the public aut.- ity. At the gates of the Archiepiscopal Palace more than a thousand people went for daily bread; and I hear that one day lately, 4,500 p ;or assembled to receive the altos distributed is the city by one gentleman." sir The following is part of the daily pray er of every devout Jet:—"l3lessed art thou, 0 Lord our God, King of the universe, who host not made me a woman." The Jewess, on the other hand, says ;—"l3lessed art thou, 0 Lord, King of the universe, who bast mods me ac• carding to thy will." Is a Jewish synagogue the females constitute uo part of the tong egtt tkm, consequently they are separated from the males—nor are they allowed to j0!,,,i0 toy part of tht.put is Shooking Murder in Mieepuri 7 -The Nur- direr Burned at the Stake The negro man, says the Boonville Observer, belonging to H. France, of Heath's creek, Pet tis county, Missouri, who murdered the wife of John Rains, living in the same neighborhood, was burned at the stake, in or near Georgetown, on the 13th ultimo. The circumstances atten ding this murder, so far as we can learn, are as follows : The negro man, aged nineteen or twenty, visited Mr. Rains, house on Sunday morning, the 3(1 of July, while Rains was absent at meet ing, for the diabolical purpose—according to his confession—of committing a rape upon the person of Mrs. Reins. The consequence was that this lady, within a few weeks of a confine. ment, was brutally murdered with a club: the negro attempted to kill her oldest boy, and fan cied he had killed him, fearing, as he said. that he would tell on him—and Iwo younger children were sadly bruised. and throws in a fence cor ner, because, as the negro said, they annoyed him "by crying about their mother." - When Rains returned home. he found his wife dead, and his eldest son so badly bruised that it wits thought he could not [rawer; but he distinctly told his father who it was that committed the outrage: This demon in human shape was im mediately apprehended flu. trial. but the citizens took possession of him to burn him immediately, and delayed the execution only to ascetain the motives of so villianoug an outrage. The negro at first said, that it was not him who committed the murder. but his brother; and next admitting his guilt, said he was instigated to the act by his young master. His young master was immediately taken into custody, but released because the negro exculpated him from the charge, admitting that it grew out of his intention to commit a rape. The only ex cuse which can he offered for the awful retribu tion of burning this negro is the nature of the crime, and the frequent attempts of late years of neeroes to rape white women—several in stances of which have occurred in this country —and the impression among the community that it required such nn example to protect them front the repetition of similar outrages.— The negroe's prime was horrid indeed ; but his punishment will be regarded by many as cruel, if not us barborous. Had it been a white man instead of a negro, there is no doubt but what he would have shared a similar fate. NG z ciia A Camp Meeting..
