The register which had been for some time open
at the Hotel de- Vile, to receive the inscription of
the names of such manufacturers of the depart
ment of the Seine as might intend to forward their
productions 10 the Grand Exhibition in London,
was closed on the 3lst ult. The number of decla-
rations made by manufacturers who had obtained
gold medals at the French exhibitions was l3i,
and by those who had received silver or bronze
me dals, S67. The first category has been at once
admitted to send its productions, and the second
are TO have theirs submitted TO the examination of
a jury. -
We understand that the Society of Arts will
open on the 18Th, with demonstrative paper by
Mr.. Paxton, on the building in Hyde Park. Messrs.
Fox, Henderson IL Co, the contractors, are at
present engaged in the preparation of the necessa
~ models and drawings which are intended to Illus
trate the subject.
Some fears were expressed short time since
that our mercantile marine would not be ade-
quatey represented at the forthcoming exhibition.
The returns, however, which have been made from
various parts of the country show that that impor-
tant branch of industry will be fully represent
ed. Among other intending exhibitors, we believe

With respect TO the final selection of articles
TO occupy the space which would thus be allotted to
each committee, that is dlty which must OF
necessity fall upon the local committees but, as
kaveI pFeviouy STATED il 10 the intention of the
commissioners, before any final decision is come
to, TO depute one or more wellqualihed persons to
visit the several districts, for the purpose of afford
ing to the local committees information on any
point on which they may be enabled to afford it.
II is desirable that parties should be put upon
their guard against species of imposition which,
we understand, Is now being carried on to some
extent by persons representing themselves as being
connected with the commissioners, and being able
to secure space in the building for exhibitors,
upon payment of fees from los. and upwards.
Several exhibitors have been defrauded to a con-
siderable extent by means of representations of
this character We refer our readers TO our police
reports in another column, IN which will be found
a case of this kind yesterday, brought before the
Lord Mayor, at the Mansion house.
1t is also found that certain parties have issued
applications, drawn up with certain official APP
pearance about them, to advertisers, soliciting
advertisements and prepayment for them in the
catalogues OF the forthcoming exhibition, but who
have no authority whatever TO 90 so. The only
persons authorized by the commissioners to pre-
pare and print the catalogues are Messrs. Spicer
Brothers, paper makers, New Bridge street, and
Messrs. Cloves, printers, Stamford street; and
any attempts TO obtain advertisements by other
parties, TO be inserted In the catalogues are frauds
upon the public.
Several inquiries have been made OF us 0y IN
tending exhibitors to whether the commission
ers would take charge of the packing cases in
which articles intended for exhibition might be
sent. The commissioners have decided that they
cannot charge themselves with this duty. They
have 20 accommodations for warehousing such ar
tices, and exhibitors must the refore take this duty
upon themselves. The decision of the commits
sioners on the subject is No. ri in the printed de-
cions, and is as follows -" Packing cases in
which articles are brought to the building must be
emoved at the cost of the agent or exhibitor, as
soon as the goods are examined and deposited in
charge of the commissioner

IN RELATION TO
ALIF o r n 7 A.
SPEECH OF GEN. CASS,
ON THE WILMOT PROvlSO,
DC, &e., &c.

Our Geographic news from Washington will be
found TO possess much interest
In the Senate, Gen. Cass opened his speech on
the subject of the Wilmot proviso, in which he re-
viewed the constitutional power of Congress over
the territories His remarks were very animated.
Mr.. Cass postponed the conclusion of his remarks
till to-day, giving way to motion to go into exc
cutive session.
In the House, a warm debate took place upon
the subject of reconsldering the vote postponing
the election of Doorkeeper and Postmaster TIL 1851
The subject was finally laid over, for the purpose
of receiving several messages from the President.
The first message read was in relation to the ex
petition of Sir John Franklin, asking an approprl-
alton for the object.
The second, which we publish below, discloses
the action Of the government in relation to Cali
fornia, in answer TO a call of the House. 1t goes
TO show that the policy of the administration mas
been that Of "mastery inactivity leaving the
newly acquired territory to work out their own
salvation.

House, IN relation to Hudson River Railroad char
ter; and also on the subject of the improvement of

WASHINGTON CRY. }
Monday, January 81 1850.
The Presidents Message, ia every particular,
turns out as we have reported heretofore, even
with respect TO the Texas boundary-and, If we
mistake not the reading, it covers up veto, If a
territorial bill, with the provlso is passed for New
Mexico. Its singular enough that the views of
Gen. Csss and Gen. Taylor should be so nearly
alike
The message has created profound sensation,
and Is highly satisfactory to the moderate men of
all parties.
We understand that Gen. Cass delivered his
Speech preparatory to the resignation of his seat In
the Senate.
We understand that the documents accompany
ing the Presidents Message will be published to-
morrow.
Orders have been issued from the Navy Depart
ment TO 60 out in the steamer to sail from your
port for England on Wednesday next, directing the
immediate return Of the sloop-of.war Jamestown,

service ship Ohio sailed from the Pacific, for HOME

LITIGATION, prescription, ignorance and folly, is
without parallel.
We trus, that his recommendation will 60 for

Congress will see the necessity OF continuing, and

We begin now to learn positively the position of
General Taylor and his cabinet upon the slavery
question. A message is shortly expected to come
from the White House, developing the views Of
General Taylor upon this most important issue.
The ground assumed is this: TO admit California,
with her new constitution, as a State into the
Union, and TO let New Mexico and other unorga-
nized territories remain as they are, ill majority
of the population is sufficient TO enable them to ask
for admission as States. BY this policy, II is
thought the President will be saved the necessity
either Of approving or vetoing any territorial bill
with the Wilmot proviso.
If such is the exact position Of General Taylor
and his cabinet, it leaves the question entirely open
for future and continued agitation, during the next
elections. Neither New Mexico nor Deseret have
population sufficentto warrant them IN establish
ing State constitution, for admission into the
Union. Ii, therefore, those territories should be
left as they are, the slavery question will still be
before the country, and nothing can prevent Il
from becoming the principal issue IN all coming
elections. With such a prospect before US, il is
evident that both wings and democrats will be
driven, at the approaching elections. each to bid
over the others heads, ike bidders in an auction
shop, for the anti-savery vote that party holding
the balance Of power between the two parties, in
III New England States, and in New York State
They, therefore, will command both parties.

be, that at the next Congressional election, there
will be stronger and fercer an,i-slavery phaaux
returned to both houses at washn gton, than we
now see, or ever before have seen there
The want Of moral courage. therefore, in not
coming out at once, boldly and openly, in the pre-.
sent crisis, will lead TO the increase Of agitation and
excitement throughout the country, making the
contest biterer, longer, and severer than It has
ever yet been seen TO be. This policy is straight,

Charge Of Watch SteaitRg.-A man named
Samuel Joevich yesterday morning broun hit
before Recorder Caldwell for examination on the
charge of stealing two watches from the watch
shop OF Mr.. Renneman on Circus street. The
watches were stolen about a week since One of
them had been left with Renneman for repairs by
another matchmaker the same street named
Williams, the latter being too much pressed with
work to do the repairs himself
On Tuesday last young man presented himself
at WIlllamss shop with gold chain, which he
wanted to sell, and which Mr.. w. recognized as
belonging to the stolen watch. The young man
said he found the chain, and when Williams asked
him to go down the street with him, he appeared to
be rather suspicious, and, saying that he would 20
and get a man to prove that he did pick it up on
ST. Charles street, he went away, leaving the chain
and did not return.
In few hours after this occurrence, Joevich
went into Mr.. WllIiams's shop and wanted to get
a key fitted to a watch, which Mr. Williams at
once recognized as the one stolen from Renneman
On being questioned JOevch stated that his brother
purchased the watch that morning from some per-
whom he did not know. Williams told him
that the watch was his, and insisted on his going
to the police office. Joevich expressed his willing
to go, but when the two arrived at the corner
OF Hevla and Circus streets, Mr. J. said he believed
he would go and see his brother about the affair
Williams attempted to take him by force, but,
being rather feeble, the task proved too much for
him. Joevch proceeded down to the Market,
whittier he followed by Williams, and, after
something Of a chase, police officer came up and
the accused was arrested. After an examination
yesterday morning. he was returned before the First
District Court for trial
A man named Will am A. Woods then made al
affidavit against him, charging him with breach
OF trust, and claiming Sll0 and watch which TIA,
accused had in his possession. This charge how
ever did not amount to much. The property va.
entrusted to Joevich when Woods was on a spree
and it had never been demanded. 1t was given
The counsel for Joevich said he could prove that
the watch was purchased in good faith, and the
prisoner was admitted to bail

that when he agreed to take Miss Maria Spohn for

Mrs. Wolf that is is perfect tgress, and that she
