ELECTION In few days we shall be in
the midst of the hustle and confusion Of a reg
ular old fashioned Newport Election. This is
one of the anniversaries, or we may more prop
ery say the anniversary, which lives longest,
brightest and freshest in the memories Of all
who participate in it, Of any other event in
life. There is something about Newport
Election which is entirely indescribable, and
VIII ch has charm for both old ard young
Even natives "to the manor born" annually
hail its return with pleasureable emotions, and
persons from away, who have heard OF these
festivities are always anxious TO attend and en-
Joy the doings and they are ever ready alter
wards to come again. The show and parade,
decoration Of the shops, the crowd of children
all arrayed in Their best suits, the old and time
honored customs of the day. in placing the
Government of the past year quietly in the
grave and installing the new otlicers-al these
things we reverence for their antiquity even
to the Proclamation of the Sergeant from tho
Balcony of the State House, Gentlemen
please to take notice that - is
elected Governor, Captain General and Com
mander-n-C Chief of the State Of Rhode Island
and Providence Plantations for the year ensu-
/ ing and so on to the end of the chapter.
Then again, we have the blue eggs and egg
pop, without which Newport election would
be more dull, and the people would be more
disappointed than if there was no Governor to
be inaugurated. These are some of the little
characteristics Of Election which will be duly
attended TO the present year and from the
Preparations which are already being made,
we ran safely say to those who are anticipa-
ting visit to the ancient capitol this year, that
they piH not be disappointed.
AS we are to have new Governor and q
young one, and withall one from the editorial
profession, we feel in duty bound to see that
everything is well attendel to, and that, if pos
sible, we have better Election than usual
To the lovers Of all kinds Of Fish. let nS say
that the market " i'll be well supplied, and the
tables of the Hotels will be abundan,ly furnish
ed with the famous well-broiled Tautogs. -
From what we have said, we presume that all
will anticipate a fine time, and, bespeaking, in
advance, a pleasant day, we can safely predict
that their hopes will not be bighted, nor their
hearts panied by disappointment

EXTENSIVE SILK AND SHAWL Store
Messrs. Jewett & Prescous advertisement
appears in another column, and, if we are any
judges Of men and things, il is no exaggera-
,ion of the advantages to be derived from a
visit to the great New England Depot for
Shaws and Silk Goods in Milk street. Pass
ing through the main sales-room or avenue of
this establishment, which is $50 fee, in length,
wo were ushered into an arched hall or saloon,
some 70 feet by 40, richly carpeted and fur
nished and these two spacious apartuc nts
with two basement rooms of large dimensions,
are filled almost exclusively with shawls and
trade. AT first glance, it would seem unjust
to the wholesale purchasers to have goods re-
tailed from the same establishment, but on
reflection, we think the candid trader will ad
nit this 10 be a mistake. 1t would be ex-
tremely hazardous for any firm to import a
stock of goods equal IN magnitude TO that of
Messrs. J. & p, and rely singly upon either
the wholesale or retail branches of trade for a
market, Besides, an union of the tw ena-
bles The proprietors TO cater for the tastes OF
customers, and import snch styles and fabrics
as will surely find a ready sale. 1t is by this
system, that Stuart, of New Yolk, has arriv.
ed at such distinction in the dry goods busi
ness and if Boston was as favorable in point
of locality, there would be another establish
ment in no respect inferior
Considering tn, large proportion Of shawls
and silk goods that are brought out under the
influence of this well established house, the
low prices a, which they are always offered tie
superior fabrics and the styles ,ha, always a.

A late number OF the london Times, in an
article upon the subject of Sayery in America,
makes the following acknowledgment:
"The will of the people of England and
the resources ofthe British nation have been
applied, with absolute authority and ungrudg-
ing munifcence, 10 the extinction of slavery
in the British dominons. The Northern
States of America have no snch power of al
terng the institutions and the tenures of prop.
erty in the saveholding States of the Union !:
Congress itself have no such power; but il it
had, and, besides thepowor, fit had the will
and the means to carry general measure of
abolition, we are constrained TO admit that the
experiment made by the British Government,
and the state in which the Britist West Indies
are now placed by it, would be invoked as the
most unanswerabc argument against such a
scheme"
