In the State of New York, Dickinson, the assoc

in the attempt 10 .cOnquer the prejudices" of
The free States, has been placed beyond the hope
of reelection. We alluded, some weeks since,
to letter written by Edwin Croswell to Wing
member of Congress, engaging that the man
who should be elected this winter to the United
States Senate, by the Legislature of New York
should be either Dickinson ora Wing. The en-
gagement is fulfilled, in one of its alternatives
Dickinson cannot be reelected, but the Senator
who fills his place is to be Whig though per-
haps not from that class of Wings most accepta-
BILE to the late managers of the Canal Bank, and
to the owners of the Chagres line OF steamers,
and projectors of the line to Africa. The pre-
dominance of the Democratic party, in the State,
has been sacrificed to the desire of re-electing
Dickinson. The foolish and absurd resolutions
adopted by the Democratic State Convention at
Syracuse, were dictated by that desire, and were
interpreted by the people to commend the course
of those who, like Dickinson, even in defiance of
the instructions Of their constituents, voted for
the compromise. The result Of this folly is, that
the Democrats have lost the State Legislature,
and that Wing will be sent to Washington in
Dickinson's place. ~~. as Ma q
Or the political character and opinions of the
members Of Congress chosen at the late election

cle.-Taken in connection with the loss of the
State Legislature to the Democratic party, they
show the unmitigated hostility of the people of
this State to all measures contemplating, favor
ing, or conniving at the extension of slavery.
They show Mr.. Cass that neither he nor any
politician of his school has anything to hope
from this quarter, and that the Fillmore and
Webster administration, even with his help and
that Of his associate Dickinson, aided by the
vast patronage of the General Government CEN
tered in this city, cannot expect to rule in the
State of New York. i ......

ssTbe Spirit of jefferson saws:

The Winchester Virginian does not coincide
with us, it seems, as to public sentiment on the
Compromise measures in the counties of Hamp.
shire and Morgan. 1t does not believe there are
even sir in either county, "who would vote
against the adjustment, if they had an opportu-
nifty" This is decidedly cool, to say the least,
and yet is like most other statements from the
Submission press Of the South, mere assertion
against fact. The People OF Hampshire have al.
ready repudated the Compromise once, and if it
be particularly desired by the Virginian," we
have no doubt Morgan will do ik"wise.

A PATENT STEAM BREAD.BAKING
MACHINE,

There is row exhibiting in London the
first apparatus erected under patent grant
ed some months ago, TO Mr. Lee, of Gas-
gov, for making bread and biscuits by means
of machinery, and by the application of steam
instead of fire. The operation of this novel
apparatus was exhibited at the bake.house of
Messrs. Lee and Robinson, (the patenee and
his partner) in the classic region of Mapping,
and large number of persons were present
to testify TO the utility and practicabilty of
the invention, which has for its object the
accomplishment of the following points, as
stated by the patentee: ... ..
"By the substitution of carbonated water
for BARN, To render bread more nutritive. A
saving of so cent, in the cost of fuel in heat
ing the oven, by means of an improved me-
hod of substituting steam for fire. The grad
ual admixture of the -four with the wafer
without manual labor. To insure the oven
being kept of an equal heat by means of an
indicator and regulator, and by means of
which the heat can be kept exactly as may
be desired. By the use o. an ingenious con-
trivance TO regulate the desired weight of all
bread, whether from an ounce TO any num-
ber Of pounds The baker may desire, without
the possibility of error.
The saving of all manual labor in the man.
ufac,ure of bread. with the exception of that
of few boys TO place il upon, and receive
it from, The machine. The avoiding the ne
cessity of the human hand touching or knead-
ing the dough.n On the present occasion
Mr.. Lee described the nature of the inven-
ton with much minuteness, and gave the
spectators an opportunity of Witnessing the
practical effect of the machinery in its vari-
Gus stages. The grand purpose which he
sought to achieve was the saving of time and
mammal labor in the manufacture of the most
important necessary Of life and, in order to
show how this object was 10 be carried ont,
Mr.. Lee exhibited the entire process of ba-
king bread and biscuits from the first prepa-
ration of the -four TO the placing the dough
into the oven, and Withdrawing it when rea-
dy for consumption,
All this was done by mechanical contri-
vances, and the men employed were not even
called upon 10 weigh the dough, or measure
the size of the loaf, the apparatus, when set
in motion, being calculated to serve every
purpose which, in the ordinary process of ba.
king, is achieved by hand. The result of
the experiments afforded satisfactory proof
that Mr.. Lees discovery in The ar, of baking
deserves every encouragement, as well on
the score of economy as from the fact that il
Introduces a'more speedy, and at the same
time more cleauly, method of manufaciu-
ing bread The rapidiiy with which the
work may be carried on By this new and in
teresling process is most surprising. For the
supply of bread TO schools, or other large es-
iablishments-suc as poor-law unions and
prisons-ihis invention seems to be specially
applicable.

The "HoG CRoP."-A correspondent
of mercantile house OF Louisville, having
recently visited the pork-packing points on
the Illinois and Misslssippi rivers, says, the
number of hogs will fall very little, il any,
short of last season. The number near the
river will fall short on account of the scar
city and high price of corn last year, but
the country back will make up this def
cheney. The corn sDas neuer finer, he adds,
and this will enable feeders to bring all
their small hogs to market by late feeding.
The estimate of hogs packed on the Illinois
and Mississippi river, last season, is 5000,-
900, including St. Louis. The general iu-
crease IN Iowa, Mississippi and Illinois,
will make up for any deficiency from last
year.
