WASHINGTON, Friday, ian. p. 1851.
To the Editors Of the Tribune
The contributions to the London Exhibition
from the United States, now amount to 5sl, and
it is supposed before the st. Lawrence sails, there
will be double this nHmber
While the United States will probably be far
behind most European nations in the number OF
their contributions, we have no reasons to believe
that our artisans will compare unfavorably with
those of any other country. Could there be
comparison made between our independent,
healthy and thriving mechanics, and the over
worked and oppressed operations OF Europe, we
should be willing to resign any claim 70 SUPERIOR.
ty which should be founded on the amount OF
work done or the fneness and richness OF the exc
cution. 80.
American operatives are free and work for utili-
tv. while the laborers Of the continent and OF
England have no choice between grinding, crush
ing slavery or starvation.
the world in reference to the proposed Exhibition,
and republics and monarchies, will send the best
specimens of their m anufactures and natural pro-
ductions Still, in any case this great exposition
will result in good to our country for those Amerl-
cans who will visit London, will bring back with
them large amount Of useful information which
can be practically applied here.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made by which our
citizens can be conveyed at an economical rate
Merchant vessels will convey passengers from
America and back with first class accommodations
and allowing six weeks time in London, for one
hundred dollars.
A party of one hundred gentlemen have sub
scribed SOS, 600 and engaged first class vessel,
which they will make their home while they stay
in London and which will be elegantly furnished
and will be used for parties, &c.
There are now 5000 British exhibitors. Canada
sends a great variety Of articles among them some
elegant Indian work. The Government of Cana
da has voted f2 900 to defay the expense OF send
ing the articles. The Hudsons Bay Company
will exhibit n complete collection of the skins, &c
collected in North America.
The revenue cutter Forward was yesterday
ordered to proceed TO Philadel phia and Boston to
convey to the frigate St. Lawrence such articles
as NAV be deposited in those Cities.
The Census returns are now coming IN rapidly
and are being carefully examined under the dlrec-
tion of the able and energetic Superintendent los.
C. G. Kennedy, Esq.
Sixty nine Clerks are now constantly employed
on this work, and the returns when published Will
present a mass of invaluable information. Con-
eress will probably during this session make some
provision for the publication of the Census OF
1850 as nothing has yet been done to provide for
this
ii is hoped the State Governments will cause
the copies of the original returns which are sent
10 each Capital, to be bound and preserved, so
that reference could be made to them in cases OF
the accidental destruction of the copies deposited
in the Census Office here.

Presentation of a Medal 70 Gen. Scott by the
virginia Legislature, &c.

virginia Legislature, &c.
WAsHINeroN Saturday Jan. 25.
The presentation of the Virginia Medal to Gen.
ScoTT took place this morning at the City Hall.
The ceremony was exceedingly interesting, and
strikingly portrayed the friendly if not enthusiastic
sentiment of Virginia, one OF the noblest OF the
old thirteen toward the conqueror OF the best ap.
pointed armies which either our old antagonist
across the Atlantic. or less formidable foes on our
Southern border could bring into the field
Quite alsrge number of the Virginia Legislature
were present, and the room was filed by men,
bers OF the National Legislature, aud other distin-
suished persons The address of Hon. WIN.
BURRELL, who was appointed by the Virgins
Legislature 10 perform that duty, was exceeding
ingly chaste and appropriate The reply OF Gen.
SCoTT was OF soldier like brevity, though pointed
and beautifully conceived. 1t shows that the
General in. Chief OF our army can WELD the pen as
well as the sword. The medal does honor even
TO the great State which has presented IL it total
ly eclipses, am ashamed 70 say, the medal which
was presented from our State TO Col BLISS even
by more than the difference in rank between the
two receivers. Its diameter is several inches. Ii
contains representations in bGs reiief OF bis great
Mexican battles, and a capital likeness OF himself
1t is Of course Of solid gold.
A Committee was held in Virginia some time
since in which Maryland was also largely repre-.
scented, for the purpose OF agreeing upon some
mode Of obtaining from Congress certain modih
cations Of the present tariff. A Delegation repre-
sentipg that Convention, are now here with the
view Of endeavoring to effect something with
their own representatives. in conjunction with
those Of other interested States.
They present q strong memorial which fully sets
forth the necessity Of action 30 some extent, il
not to the extent Of going back to the basis of the
act Of 40
This delegation have called meeting for this
evening at the Nation al Hotel Of members from
several States, when something will probably be
agreed upon. WoUTKR NoS TwILLER.

" THE SPEECH OF Mr.. WALKER of
Wisconsin, in the u. S. Senate, in eXPOsi-
ton and advocacy of Free grants of Public
Lands in limited quantities to Actual Set
tiers, is given entire in our columns this
morning. Mr.. Walkers views on some
questions incidentally touched in this dis
cussion differ widely from ours, but we
have not been impelled to mutilate his
Speech on that account. 1t appears In our
columns exactly as he made 1T, and we
will choose other occasions to discuss points
on which we think him mistaken. On the
great fundamental principle maintained In
this Speech--the proposition that abstract
Right, beneficent Policy, and even the To-
cal Interest of the Old as well as the New
States, combine to urge upon our Govern
ment the duty of apprOpriating the Public
Lands in small allotments to the Landless
alone, instead of selling them, as now to
whoever will buy them, and often to spec
ulators and forestallers-he is mol mistaken.
Mr.. Walker i, not great man, but he has
planted himself on great truth, and that
truth will certainly and we trust speedily
triumph. We ask Philanthropists of all
creeds, we ask Politicians Of all parties, to
read this Speech and say whether they be-
lieve it possible to maintain our present
Land-selling System in the face OF such
appeals. For our own part, we do not be-
lieve another President can ever be elected
who is hostile to Free Land for the Settler
who claims no other Land. Ponder this
and judge if our confidence outruns the
popular apprehension.
