The civ continues crowded with stran

As the exhibition is prolonged, 1t becomes
more and more attractive. The goods sent
here have only Just now been all arranged
and the building was only illumInat t, en'i,e-

bitiou, through a hundred or Two oil Poweriui
and brilliant burners, added greatly to the at
traction aud the crowd was immense, and In
deed il has been from the first. New Eng
land appears well an the sxhibIiisn, but moi
ono half Of her manufacturers are represen-
ted. New York has done next 10 nothing,
and great complaint is made Of the American
Institute. for what locks like Indifference TO
great national object. One ofthe Locofo-
CO members of Congress from Alabama has
veniured upon a public denunciation oil The
goods exhibited, but one great enemy has
made many friends.
The anti-tariff men still seem disposed TO
force action upon the tarifblll. The oihcIal
paper urges il, and demands it daily, and
with as much official impudence as ever
characterized petty dictator clothed 10
little brief authority The Chairman of the
Committee of Ways aud Means informed
one Of his friends, yesterday. that the bill
would be called upas soon as the navy APP
preparation bill was disposed Of, and that will
probably be by week after next. 80 many
things depend upon contingencies, that it is
not easy 10 say when this bill will be acted
upon, or If taken up, whether twill be
passed or not. The future appears too dark
for human prophecy to penetrate the veil.
Our foreign relations must affect our dOmes-
tic relations. and what day may bring,
from our own shores or from the other side
OF the Atlantic, is not easy 10 determine.
1t is certain, as wrote you the other day,
that orders have gone forth for the occupation
of Sauta Fe by a regiment Of dragons, partly
volunteers and partly Of the regular service.
Orders haze also been despatched fer The
occupation of Santa Francisco and Monte
rey by the fleet on the Pacific. Commodore
Conner demands more vessels for the Gulf,
and many moro men and much heavier
means would seem TO be necessary TO the
successful bombardment of the Castle at Vera
Cruz.
The House, to day, have adopted a joint
resolution for the appointment Of ola joint
committee of Congress TO examine West
Poiut Academy.
The Senate summary disposed of the
West Point resolution. acted upon by the
House. Mr.. Webster regarded such a reso-
luton as affordins bad precedent. and The
majority OF the Senate appeared TO concur
entirely with him in opinion. Mr.. Speight
Of Mississippi moved 10 laythe resolution up
Gu the table, and the motion prevailed.
The Post-Ollice appropriation bill was under
consideration, without any conclusive action
on the part OF the Senate.
EXPresident Tyler closed his testimony
before Mr.. Vin,on's Committee to-day. !
can only add what have written before, that
it will not nearly, or remotely, or in any way.
sns,ain the charges of Mr.. Ingersoll il is
probable that Mr.. Tyler will testify before
Mr.. Schenck's Committee 10 morrow.
The regiment Of mounted rinemen arc 10
be mustered forthwith into public service.
and will be upon The frontiers as soon rs the
ranks OF the ten companies can be filed. The
delay need not be long, for the mounted ser
vice is very favorite one. The selection Of
officers personally Is not complained Of; but
many regard the point Of country from which
the favorites wercselected as showing preju-
dice against other sections Of the country,
and particularly for The States whose citizens
have received peculiar marks of favor from
the Executive. New England has not one
Of the thirty;hree appointments, and The
neglect appears TO have been marked. The
West gets the hulk of the Offices. and at the
expense of other portions of the Union.
The West appears TO have been regarded
with much favor by the President, and for
The love of that popularity which he has been
losing for some time past. 5. ).
