WORCESTER,
HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.

Notwithstanding the storm, there was hne display
of flowers at the Horticultural Hall, yesterday, and we
presume considerable addition will be made this
morning. The show of Strawberries was much the
best we have ever had both in the number of varieties
and in the quality of the fruit Hoveys Seeding, as
usual, takes the lead. There very fine specimens,
also of the Boston Pine, Richardson's Early and late,
jennings Seeding, and several other noted kinds In
this branch D. w. Lincoln is the largest contributor
There are a few dishes of very good Black Tartarian
Cherries, and few Of other kinds, but the weather
has been very bad for cherries and they have roted
very much.

HUNDRED RETIREMENT OF Mr.. CLAY
"llenrlco," the correspondent of the PHILADELPHIA
Bulletin at Washington says it is freely given out,
there, that if the Compromise bill be not disposed of
In the Senate before the 9th or 10Th of july. that
Mr.. Clay will withdraw from all active partcipancy
In The matter, and let it take its course as best if
may The same writer adds
Neither Mr. Cass nor Mr. Webster would consent
to succeed Mr. Clay, nor agree to don mantle that
the latter had discarded; and hence it must be an
parent that if he retres from the lists the friends of
adjustment will witness a wreck of their homes
without the power of salvation. Mr.. C. more than
fortnight ago declared that he would abandon the
bill, provided the opposition continued to press alb
stractions only calculated defeat it; and as these
monstrous evidences of chicanery multiply, rather
than decrease, as Time elapses, perhaps the vener
able statesman sees with regret that he is doomed
to pass months Of his remaining life in proftless
contest, that can effect good to the country, while
1t necessarily detracts from the days that may vet be
allotted him. In view of these facts, tending to a
painful conclusion he has, as observed, limited his
task to the 10th of July; and after that it is even
possible he may-such purpose having been indi-
rectiy expressed by him-retire from the Senate all
together.

the adjournment on the LIST of August.
Mr.. Clay opposed it, and hoped they would not
think of adourning until the settlement of the agta-
ting questions now pending Subject postponed.
The Omnibus bill was then taken up. Mr.. Up
ham resumed his remarks, advocating the Pres-
dents policy.
Mr. Seward followed. He said he preferred the
Presidents suggestion He maintained that the
dltons imposed on California were unreasonable and
lmperlous, and earnestly advocated her admission
He thought the consent of Texas betrayed want of
confidence in her Claims the justice of Congress,
and insisted that the title of Texas was neither Just
equitable. He referred to the political character
Of New Mexico, claiming that she had all the ele-
ments Of republic, all the elements, physical and
moral, of State subordinate to the United States.
Pressed by the Jealousy of the slave States and the
encroachments of Texas, the pending bill comprom-
ised her claims by dividing her territory and gvtng
part to undisguised slavery and the remainder to
exposed freedom
He proceeded to consider the Wilmot Proyiso, to
show thaTt is necessary in New Mexico; is often
sve only in the sense that every bill of rights gives

Mr.. Seward made a few more general remarks
and then gave way to a motion to adjourn, which
was at P. NJ, Mr.. Bell having the floor. Carried.
In the House, the Galphn report was resumed,
and Mr. Brock concluded his remarks in favor of

stone between Maryland, Delaware and Penn
sylvania have probably stimulated the curlos-

a contnry's perpetualion and will probably con-

he accomplished. He introduced no new meth

that the errors of the improved tables did not
exceed "A half minute arc. In this shape they

1t has always been said thd Mason was dis
gusted at not receiving the premium im+eIt-
rather unwarrantable ajuration, if he really
entertained it-and that he willingly came to
bury his pique in the forests of the New World.
There may be some ground for this tradition,
since, alter his labors were complete in manu-.
script, the Commissioners of Longitudes actu-
ally awarded Gin 1852 an additional and larger
premium to the widow of Mayer for an improv-
ed copy of his own Tables, which he left at his
death.
However this may BE-, Mason came 10 Amer
ica shortly afterwards, finished his works here
in 1867 and 6S, and returned no mora to Eng
land. He died somewhere in Pennsylvania, in
1877, suffering, for several years, melancholy
alterations Of mind.
His chief memento here is the line which
bears his name, whose latitude he and his col
league determined at Is miles south of the
most sonherly point Of the then town CT Phil
adelphia; and in the reduction of the peninsula

Mason and Dixon, therefore, allowed what =
still regarded as the most hazardous part Of a
gcodetlc operation to pervade their whole work.
and success in such an undertaking, in spite of
the ingenious suggestions of Cavendsh, and
the encomiums Of Marhclync, would have been
more remark able than its admitted failure,-
