THE HALL OF INDUSTRY.
This far-famed work of ingenious me-
chanism, is now exhibiting in the city of
Lancaster, and is attracting the attention
of all classes, not only frsm its novelty
but from its being an exact exhibit of the
most wonderful labor saving machinery
that has been brought into perfect oper-
alton. by the combined ingenuity of the
greatest mechanics of the last and pre-
sent century.
The space occupied by the carding.
condensing, spinning, rowing, weaving,
mapping, shearing and dressing machine
ry, occupies about 80 feet in length, and
the whole is kept in operation by the pow
er of four dogs, actually perfecting in the
best manner the whole work from the
cotton, or the wool, to the finishing of
the cloth. The machinery is not only
beautifully finished. but is splendid spe-
cimen of workmanship. and when the
whole is in motion, in perfect harmony, is
perhaps one Of the most pleasing and III
structive efforts of art which was ever
presented to the inquisitive and curious
for examination.
None can see it without being delight
ed, and few can examine it without being
instructed.
~ 1t is stated OH the authority Of
the Washington Intelligencer that JOHN
T. SULLIVAN, of Philadelphia, who was
at the last session of the Senate rejected
as Director of the Bank Of the United
States, was on the 18th inst, rejected
by the Senate as Paymaster in the Ar
my, to which latter office he had been
appointed by the President during the
recess. and recently nominated for con-
frmation.
~ The House of Representatives
of Massa chusetts numbers Six Hundred
and Three members. A goody number
in all conscience, to do the public servi-
ces OF Massachusetts.
o. 1t is stated that Messrs. Moore,
Mangum, and Black, will not resign their
seats in the Senate, in consequence ofthe
instructions from the legislatures of their
respective states, to cancel the votes they
gave at the last session of Congress.
nF. The President and Directors Of
the Bank of Washington D. C. are a.
bout to make application to Congress for
a renewal of its charter. They are also
for uniting the several Banks of the Dis
trict in one institution, with branches in
the several towns, receiving the assets Of
each bank, at their true value, assuming
their responsibilities, and to have an ad-
ditonal specie capital subscribed, all OF
which, they conclude, would have most
propitious effect on the District.

Philadelphia, short time since, present.
ed President Jackson, with Pitcher,
composed of $50 slaves, chopped with
bands of silver, made from u part of the
Elm tree under which the treaty between
William Penn and the aborigines was
concluded, as a token of their high conf

" As we promised we have given the
article from the Virginia Free Press on
the subject of the next Presidency TO-
day. That such nomination on the
part of Virginia. as appears in that arti-
Gle would be highly acceptable to a ma :
jority of the people we haze no doubt
Of John M'Lean the people know but lit
tie, and really have given no indications
that they wish to know more. This is
the case, also. with Judge White. Nei-
Their of these gentlemen have any hold on
public opinion-neither CAN THEY HAVE
under no circumstances which they or
their friends can produce. The real ques-
ton is, and must be between Clay and
Van Buren,. That there is a majority OF
the people of Virginia opposed to Van
Buren,, no one, we think, doubts and
in our opinion, there is nothing wanting
but union to suspend the further infu,
ence of Jacksonism throughout the state
at once. Clay, however, will be abused
for every thing he ever done, good or bad !;
and Tyler will be abused for having done
