The value of the jewels Of the Queen s

The present Regalia of England are mol
of very remote antiquity, for in the wars Of
King Charles the First's reign, the former
crowns &c were either lost, sold, or de-
stroyed; and those which are now used
were once manufactured for he coronation
of Charles the Second. The r,gaia, col
lectiyely speaking, consist of five .rowns
many sceptres, four ewords. two riugs
one golden orb, pairs OF gol gden speys
various splendid robes, and olden YES
ssel and spoon for the anointing.

at the Coronation is exceedingly costly an

than that of the crown of George tn

THE CONVENTION.

Yesterday the wings of Lincoln held

to previous notice, and we are happy to
say, that for spirit interest," and manly feel
Ing such Convention has not been had for
long time Every thing went on smoothly and
tremendously ,notwiths' anding the wishes Of
the Loco foco's that it might be otherwise.
They mistake, when they judge of the
wings by their own miserable measures.
The Convention for choice of Senators,
organized by the selection DAVID c..

The nominations for Senators are as
follows, viz

as the most suitable person to be sus-
tanned by the people for Congress.
We regret we cannot give the proceed
ings in this paper, We can only add, that
the right spirit seems to be abroad, aud
this is time when our
farmers are busiIy employed in Faying, and
generally do not wish to spend so good a
"hay-day," yet the number present far ex~
ceeded our anticipatons. 1t was es,ima-
ted that at one time, not less than fue hun
bred of our whig friends were present, and
we believe the records will show that there
were between 800 and AGO actual dele
gates.
The Convention was ably addressed, af-
ter the other business was transacted, by
the Hon. GEORGE Evans of Gardiner, and
Hon JOHN HOLMES of Thomaston, much

GENERAL JEssUP has been relieved
from killing the Florida Indians, and has
published the history of his campaigns.
The General says that he has killed and
taken prisoners Indians and negroes to the
number Of 24,00O. Allowing the Gener-
al's statement TO be correct, it has cost the
Government about SIS, $50 head for every
Indian and negro either captured or taken
prisoner.-The expenses of the Florida
war amounting to about $40, 900, 900.
When General Jackson said he left the
country prosperous and happy" he only

have been notorious as well as prosperous

During eight years OF Gen JACKSON
administration, as the official statement OF
the Secretary demonstrates, the expenoi-

pended by all his predecessors IN I'VE

this was the frugal, economical, reforming,
democratic administration OF general
JACKSON.
But Mr. VAN buren, has improved on
the example of his illustIious predecessor.
The first year of his administration costs
$93, 554, 34l-being nearly as much as the
total expenditure of the twelve years OF
WAsHiNeroN and the elder ADAMS! But
while the annual expenditure is thus multi
piled by twelve. the population has been
only multiplied by three. The increase OF
population, therefore, by no means lusti-
fies the increase of expenditure 1t Is OBJ
yious, too, that the expenses should not In
crease even in the same ratio with popula-
ton: while it appears that they have more
than quadrupled making every allowance
for the growth and extension OF the repub-
lie
It cannot be denied that useless officers
have been quartered upon us IN swarms,
and that there is profgate waste in eve

graceful TO the Government and burden

Custom House alone there are at least an
hundred officers utterly useless, who have
received appointments merely as the re-
ward of partzan service, and who are
chiefly occupied about election time, and
earn their salaries by any thing but aten-
zion to the legitimate duties of their office.

A Public Dinner to the Hon. Daniel

4 Public Dinner to the Hon. Daniel
Wooster, under the auspices of the Me-
chanics OF Boston, was given on Tuesday
of this week. 1t was magnificent affair
-Governor Everett presiding, and about
fifteen hundred persons uniting in this tes-
timony of esteem and admiration. MI
Webster was personally compimented by
Gov Everett, and rose in acknowledged
ment. The following paragraphs from the
account given of his reply in the Atlas, are
of most interest:
"Mr Webster then went into a general
exposition of the principles of the present
administration in regard TO the currency of
the nation. Their distinguishing principle
was--a principle wherein they differed
from all others who had ever attempted TO
administer the Government--that beyond
the regulation of the coinage, they had
nothing whatever to do wit the currency.
Such was their new reading of the constitu-
ton, in which they were unable TO find any
power to authorize them to take care of the
people, but only power to provide for
themselves.
"Mr Webster dwelt at length on the
false and dangerous nature of this princi-
pie, and expressed his opinion that until
this doctrine was abandoned, and some ac-
ton had by Congress, either by charterng
National Bank or in some other way, for
the regulation of the currency. things
would not settle down to any permanent
and steady basis"
Among the guests was Ex-Govs. Lin
coin and Davis of Massachusetts, Govern
or Ellsworth of Connecticut, and Gen
Wilson, the Wing candidate for Governor
of New Hampshire. Messrs Prentss of
Miss and Menofee of KY, with most of
the Massachusetts Delegation to Congress,
were present, and spoke briefly. Mr.
Prentiss was most warmly cheered John
Quincy Adams assigned his advanced age
as reason for his absence, and sent
toast, importing that the integrity of our Ma
tional Boundaries, both Northeast and
Southwest, must be maintained. He was
toasted as

age unites the ardor and spirit of youth"
Mr. Reed, M. G. gave the following senti-
meDt:
"IHe Pockets of the People-The best
Sub Treasnres--H lands of--let us alone!"

o'clock.
