The Common Council Of New York City
has given Mr.. Riddle and his.associates a
lease on ReseryohSquare, on favorable terms,
forfive years, for the purpose Of erecting up

an exhibition Of the industry Of all nations,

It's understood that among the foreign
attractions which are already promised TO

q silver ga tute Of Columbus, from the Sar-
dinian Commissioners, and some three hun
dreda fifty works of art exhibited in Lon

remarkable than those we have enumerated.
Farina, the great Eau de Cologne manu-
facturer, has engaged to keep fountain Of
Cologne water playing during the entire Pc
riod Of the exhibition, provided the amount
consumed is admitted BY our Government

The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.

=
The St. Louis Republican says that il is
the wish, and we believe the design, Of the
contractors Of this road, to build and put in
operation the western part Of it atas early a
day as practicable. They think they can do
it in twelve months and in doing it in that
time, they not only secure the profits of the
road. but also save the interest upon The city
and other bonds, which they take in pay
nent. The contractors have had an oppor-
tunity, in their trip across the country, to
see and judge of the absolute necessity of the
work, and the probable business the road will
derive from the agricultural district through
which II passes. Not only the products Of
the rich valley Of the Wabash will give en-
ployment and profit to the enterprise. but the
immense travel which will seek this channel
will prove highly profitable. A railroad by
the shortest and most direct route, connect.
ing the two great commercial cities of the
West, Cincinnati and st. Louis, and inter.
secting in its course the different railways ex.
tending TO the Northern Lakes, must become
one Of the greatest thorough fares in the
world.

According to the Paris correspondent OF
Il. London Morning Chronicle, the Pope has
refused to visit France for the purpose Of assis-
ting at TIE coronationlof Louis Napoleon. 1t
vas 5es;cned that he should disembark at Mar
allies and there be received by all the French
Csri;nals, and deputation Of all the great OF
g.ers OF State But on the matter being men
toned to him, he declined positively but courte-
on.Ir Il is added that when General de Cote
7rned the matter as an act of gratitude on the
psrt of his Holiness to the Head of the State
which had restored him TO his throne, the Pope
r.nlied that he was far from being uugrateful
for the services rendered to him by France, but
that he had quite made up his mind that it was
ais duty to decline taking any part in the coro-
nation Of French Emperor. General de Cote
then hintcd that if his Holiness persisted in his
refusal, the President might consider it his duty
to withdraw the French troops from Rome up
on which Pic Nino said that he would deeply
deulore any such resolution but that he would
place his trust in the support of Providence,
and Of his other allies. From this it would ap-
pear that Louis Napoleon is likely to want at
least one OF the elements which he himself has
recorded as the grounds upon whicth he Empire
ought to be considered legitimate sovereignty.
The Pope will not consecrate his Crown.

ply. The conspiracy has been denounced at
Matanzas, and section of the Commission Mil
itar despatched thither to inquire into the accu-
sations, and commence the trials. Another con-
spiracy has been denounced az Pinar del Rio
(vueIa Obajo) and another section of the Com
ision NIilitar ordered there for the same object
This section is accompanied by Jose Rives, Sen
as the accuser, who is to point out the crimi-
nails Said Rives and his son Jose Maria have
been the accusors of Don Juan Gonzales and
others of Vuelta-Abajo. (The two Rives, father
and son, were both State prisoners, who have
been set at liberty, on account of therevelatIons
they have made. They have long conferences
daily with the Captain General.
The Captain General is very uneasy about the
Crescent City business, and he has had very
serious misunderstanding with his Secretary,
Martin Galiano, who has been his counsellor
and guide in the transaction. Galiano wished
to resign the Secretaryship, CanedO, however,
has not accepted his resignation, but on the
contrary told Galiano that he had led him
into bad scrape, he should see him out, and
stand bv the consequences of his conduct.
