Many persons friendly 10 the permanent

Of procuring an exhibition of American
Manufacturing and Mechanical Products

Spring, as the opportunities for accom-
pIishing such a project might allow. 1t
is believed that an exhibition, embracing
specimens Of every kind of handicrat or

ton, or at least all such specimens as may
be conveniently procured for the occasion.

may DC purchased, and the names ofthose
by whom they are fabricated, would EN-

useful facts which conld not fail 10 be az
preciated as they deserve by the public au.
lhorilies upon whom rests The responsible
ity of sustaining the prosperity of The
great Interests connected with this subject;
and that such facts collected from The daily
transactions OF the people, authenticated
by the personal examinations of all who
choose to inspect them, would furnish in
controvertible arguments in favor of that
industry which so greatly honors as well
as enriches the mechanics of America"
The committee propose that The exkibi-
ton shall be opened at Washington on The
20Ih day Of May next, previous to which
date ample provision will be made for The
reception, security, and suitable disposition
Of all specimens which may be sent TO their

Committees will be appointed for the su.

servation of all parcels sent to the exhibit
ton rooms.
The rooms will be ready 10 receive ar
ticles for exhibition from and after the LIST

such a multitude and variety of question
as would throw half a dozen common mel
off their balance. One day, while waiting
for other men to be served, | remarked t
Mr. Hobbie, that [ should suppose the vas

be decided, would require a division o
the labors OF his office. To which he re-
piled that it was necessary 10 have ON

Mail route questions in tie country. The
labors of Mr. King are not so arduous and
perplexing ; although his office requires
a correct business man.
The politeness ofthese men was not oil
the French stamp; but rather a Yankee
business-lIke politeness, such as better
accords with my notions Of true polite
ness. Matters seemed to 60 on in the

that very many business men, such as

10 the things named, until they should be.

short time per day, for such labors, and
such prices as were paid but when watch

convinced that six hours per day, of as
close application of the mental powers, as

Three fronts of this edi6ce are of mar
BILE; the other Of granite. The architect
ure is not boId-is of the Corinthian style,
composed OF columns and piIasters, dis.
posed upon a high rustic base.
The plan of the building is a paral!eIo-
gram, two hundred and four feet in extent,
and sixty>6ve feet in width, with Two wings
at right angles, one hundred feet each in
length, and fifty four feet wide.
1t contains eighty rooms.
On the site where stands the present
Post Office, stood, some few years since,
the old Post Office building. In the dead
of night a fire broke out in one of the
rooms, and before the city could be arous.
ed, the flames spreading in every direc-
ton, consumed the entire fabric, with ma
ny invaluable papers. This destructive fire
happened during the administration of the
Department by Mr. Amos Kendall. No
clue was ever discovered as TO the origin
of this fire, though dark surmises were
limited towards various quarters, but after
a time suspicion lulled into a conviction
that it was purely accidental.
