TIM PENNSYLVANIA VINO STATE CONVENTION =
We understand that number Of Politician some
q whom are friends Of Mr.. Webster, and some Of
Gen. scott-from this city, intend TO visit Lancas
ter, in Pennsy vania, during the sitting Of the
vention, which will assemble there on the 9th
inst According to every appearance, there will be
a very warm contest between the friends Of Web
ster and Scott respectively, in that convention.
The nomination to be made by that body will be
the first whg nomination for the presidency in the
approaching struggle. The candidate who may be
selected will have the vantage ground over all his
competitors and viii 20 into other states with more
power and influence than those opposed to him.
Gen Scott is considered very popular among the
people Of Pennsylvania; but II prodigious effort
should &c made in New York ADD Boston for the
nomination Of Mr.. Webster, we would not be eur.
prised TO sec the matter take another shape, the
nomination Of Gen. Scott prevented, Or at least,
the question left open, which is, perhaps, all that
Mr.. Webster's friends may require Crowds Of
politicians will be at Lancaster during the sitting
Of the convention.

ASA WHITNEY IN CANADA.-We notice Mr..
Whitney is seeking to get the mother coun-
try to aid him in making q Canada and Paci-
fc railroad, and we care not if he succeeds, as,
in such case, Congress will escape being bored any
more about his humbug He never will get the aid
of the United States, in any way, to his scheme by
donation of lands or otherwise. The road if made,
will be made by piecemeal, and be connected from
time to time, as the settlements progress westward
from the Atlantic, and eastward from the Pacific
coast. A road, to extend upwards of two thousand
miles, through desert, through rugged and snow
covered mountains, and a country peopled by war
like savages, is a work Of a quarter of century.
Mr.. Whitney's scheme is the most chmerical of all
that have been proposed. Great Britain has too
much sense to embark in it. If she is disposed,
shall profit by her folly. Erp9ie,aia doca.

AMERICANS AT THE WoRLp's FAIR We have
received some very remarkable and curious CORES
popdenee from London, from . new quarter, de-
seribng with great particularly, wit and eloquence,
some Of the quarrels among the American exhi-
bitoss, which undoubtedly have led the English
people and the English press to speak SO lightly
of their cousins and their curiosties from this side
OF the water. 1t may be recollected that before
the opening Of the fair, the American exhibitors
became divided into two parties, cliques, or fac
rions in reference to the authenticity authority
Of the Office of commissioner. A Mr. Riddle, Of Bos
ton claimed authority to act in that capacity, and
Mr.. Stansbury. Of Washington, put in similar
claim, and stood on the same ground as his Boston
rival did. This double claim of authority, which
originated with some sort of q society in Washing
ton calling itself the National Institute, which is
composed of scientific mon, interpreted here and
there with an old woman in breeches, the cause
of the curious scenes and the various difficulties,
which attended the American part of the exhibition
The correspondence which we have now in our
possession on this subject, is of some length, is well
peppered, very sarcastic, and is full of documents
1t processes to clear up the difficulties which have
agitated the little American community at the
Worlds Fair, and to show that both Riddle and
StansDuIy are, IN some respects, Slamese Twins, IN
the commission which proceeded from the anamo-
lous scientific body in Washington. Mr.. Stansbury,
undoubtedly, had authority from Washington to
assume and exercise powers ''outside" the Exhibi-
ton Palace, and full authority conferred on Mr.
Riddle to dispose of matters 'nside of the Crystal
Palace. 1t seems, however, that Mr.. Riddle was
not satisfied with the extent of his authority, but
went farther, and took the whole direction inside
and outside, and accordingly issued bulletin on
the subject, which, like his name, is perfect riddle
Of what his intentions have been, are, or what he
intends they will be. Some have gone SO far as
to say that Mr.. Riddle obtained his high position
in the matter, in consequence of his having given
some persons an intimatien that a splendid car
rage, which was ON exhibition at the fair, was to
be presented to a member of the cabinet after
doing its duty of knocking up all similar affairs
there.
We shall publish this curious correspondence in our
next double sheet. 1t throws food of light on the
controversies between the Americans in London
which afforded so much Amusement. to the London
Times and to Punch, and the sensible Americans
who went to the Worlds Fair

THE New Posi- OFFICE REeULATIoNs.-Grc
complaints are being made already against the Post
Office regulations, prepared by the Post Office De-
partment for the purpose of carrying the new law
into effect. The law ITSELF in variety Of instances,
particularly in reference to newspapers, was manu-
factured by the Post Office Department, and, as a
piece Of legislation, conceived in more ignorance
than any law that ever came from that quarter.
The regulations for carrying this law into effect
generally denounced in the newspapers piece Of
absurdity and deficiency.

GAs.-The gas companies Of this city have en-

made in the tive cities.
