FEMALE ATTIRE.-It is stated in late English
papers that sat the banquet given by the Lon
don Metropolitan Local Committee to the For
eign Commissioners Of the Great Exhibition,
Mr.. Paxton, the designer of the Crystal Palace,
said he had been disappointed in the success of
the project of the exhibition only in one re-
spect. He had thought that the Palace would
be a difficult place to keep clean, and had de-
signed machine to obviate that inconvenience,
of hundred house-maid power, and had put
the Commissioners to some expense in having
these machines made; but they had not been
called into requisition, for they were not needed,
the building had been kept clean By the rich silk
dresses of the ladies'" So much for statelness

ALEXANDRIA Gazette of yesterday says
that the rise of real estate in that place, and
the consequent increase of rents, is indicative
of returning prosperity. "For many years
past" it adds, "our property-holders have
borne 'the heat and burden of the day. and
have borne it manfully. They have never fall
tered when tax for public improvement was
proposed, the payment Of the largest share of
which fell upon them. We rejoice, then, that
they are now about to reap reward for their
public spirit and perseverance, in the enhance
ment Of the value of their houses and lots.
They deserve all the return that they will re-
ceive. Nor will the whole public fail to share
in the benefits enuring to them. When prop
erty rises in value we shall see new buildings
springing up all around US. Our mechanics
will find employment, and, we hope, their pros
perity, too will BIO commensurate with their
deserts, and with their uniform worth and
claims upon the community"

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.-Th Cincinnati Gazette
Ia Wing paper) says:
"There was gathering in of the clans from
the counties of Hamilton, Clermont, Warren,
Brown, and Clinton, near Loveland, on the Lit
tie Miami railway, to fix the site of bridge. A
large number were present. John s. Bucking-
ham, Democrat Of the first water, addressed
them at length on national affairs, opposing
Gen. Cass, and advocating Gen. Butler rs o
candidate for the Presidency. After he had
concluded, the question was put to the multi.
tude present whether they would support Gen.
Butler, and the response was hearty, and, as
we are informed, nearly unanimous in the affir-
native. Cass, at that meeting, was mo where. "

PUBLIC GRoUNDs.-It has been determined
by the city councils of New York to enlarge the
Battery. The public squares are earnestly pro-
tected in Philadelphia, and recent aggressions
have been repealed In Baltimore much is said,
and something done, toward making public
parks. In Washington they will be protected
and beauti6ed. The day will come when every
poor man in our country will bless the memory
of those who shall have provided for him a
beautiful and refreshing retreat, where the
greensward expands, the shady forest trees
overhang, and the gush of the fountain is heard.

From Rio DE JANEIRo.-The bark Gold
Hunter arrived at New York yesterday, having
sailed from Rio on the 30th April. There had
been no change in Coffee. The ship Banshee,
Capt. Wingate, had been three days in port
The Greyhound, Capt Pickett, which sailed
from Baltimore in company with her, had not
arrived. The Baltimore American says, that
both these clipper ships left that port for Rio
on trial of speed. They sailed from Cape
Henry on the 10Th March, and the Banshee,
therefore, made the passage in hirty-seren days /;
the Greyhound not having arrived three days
after. The fever was prevailing to fearful
extent among the shipping in the harbor

that prudence and wisdom so well calculated to

Washington and back, with party of gentle
men, and then proceed to Baltimore, to be de-

The FOURTH OF july is less than month
off, and propositions for it's celebration are
being everywhere made In our opinion large
crowds, professions in the sun, and exciting
dinners, are all out of place at such a time.
Social pic-ncs are much better and in these,
families should cling together. Fathers, mothers,
sisters and brothers, are the most fitting COM
panions for each other and zest may be given
to the days enjoyments by the communion of
several families.
Sabbath-schoo celebrations may not be in
appropriate; but they require to be managed
with great circumspection. Children of the
city are too much excited in the woods, and
lack prudence. Climbing and swings should be
emphatically prohibited They are incompati-
BILE with the quiet, good ORDER and security
that should prevail.
Aquatic excursions are better enjoyed on any
other day of the year. Passengers, officers,
engineers, boatmen, and even steam boilers,
are more apt to become excited than at other
times.
The shade, pleasant conversation, good music
temperate feasting, loving and love-making, are
all allowable. The Declaration, Washington's
Farewell Address, the Constitution and the
social, moral and intellectual elevation of the
laborer, may be freely discussed without treason
to the Republic or prejudice to humanity.
But be sure that you observe temperance in all
things.
