wassyisited throughout the day by about 1000
ladies' and gentIemen, besides the exhibitors
and those holding season tickets, and the re-,
ceipts amounted to $3,639 30. Workmen are
still busily employed in different parts of the
structure, particularly in the Machine Arcade,
whichis, at present, only about half flushed.
About one-fhird Of the exhibition stalls have
been arranged, and it is thought that the exhi-
bition will not be complete in all its parts for
about two weeks more. go
The total amount Of space on the floor occu-
pied by different countries for exhibition, exclu-
slve Of the naFes, is about 81, 900 square feet,
of which Sd, I02 is on the ground floor, and 59,-
900 s in the gallery. This space is divided as
follows:

fact, that the local committees Of Canada have
not yet septin their list Of contributions, and
i does not include quite a number from British

BALTIMORE RAILROAD.

The Baltimore papers of last week contain the annual
report of the President and Directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to its stockholders and extract from it,
interesting to readers, what relates the branch
road from Baltimore to this city,
THE WASHINGTON Observation-Disclosures D. E.
and F. exhibiting the business of this road establish
increased receipt of S36 408 compared with the
previous year. and that Notwithstanding the reduction of
the fare from 1S0 to s. % and it is gratifying
port that the months of July August and September the
period in which that reduction has been in action show
very small comparative loss in the aggregate amount
received while the gradual of passengers show

receipts will be exceeded Additional facility oo has
been afforded to the people, and in progress

WHAT is TO BE ANNEXED.

Every body should feel obliged even to an adversary
when he sets question in clearer light than it had be-
fore. The following statement does this:

CONSTITUTION MENDING.

The good sense of the People of Rhode Island
has inflicted another defeat upon the Radicals Of
that State. On. the 28th of June last Delegates
were elected to Convention for the revision of the
State Constitution, which on the same day the
People voted should not be held. Regardless of
this expression of popular opinion against irregular
amendment of the fundamental law, the Legislature
called upon the people to vote on Monday last on
the question whether the Delegates elected in June
should not meet in Convention to consider the
change OF the Constitution in three specified particu
lars. The returns Of the vote show that this re-
newed proposition has been rejected by majority
greatly increased over that Of June. The negative
majority now is very near 1000 votes.
In making known to its readers this decision of
the People Of Rhode Island, the Boston Daily Ad-
vertser thus recaptuates the recent history of the
Constitutions Of the New England States, which
is instructive:
new Hampshire Few years since series of amend
hiehss h1Ired by Convention, after protracted

but failed to pass. Rhode Island has twice within six
