feel confident that all who have sent to her
school, will agree with me in saying, that
it is Of high order, fully equal to many
Seminaries, with high-sounding names,
and liberal endowments.
Parents placing their daughters under
Mrs. FoRD's care, may be assured that
their minds, morals and manners will be
we'll cultivated, and they be watched over
with tender care. jackson is proverbial

that the state of society is quite as good
as in other places of like size.
MrS FoRD and Miss FISHER are pecu-
liarly well qualified for the stations they
occupy, and ought to have full school,
There is not a Township in the county
but what ought to send daughters to this

cannot find a better place And if any
are looking forward (and who are not?)
to the most important event of life, lei
them here first add to their intellectual

The work is now progressing with an
activity which will in great degree com
pensate for past tardiness. Still we en-
tertain serious doubts that the Directors
will be able, as we see stated this morn
ing, "to open the exhibition, if not on
the lst of May, at all events on an early
dayin that month" Much has been done,
certainly, within few weeks, but it isstill
mere skeleton. With any number of
light hands, FIVE weeks is too brief to per-
feet the building-to fill up the complica-
ted details of this vast framework
Speaking to one of the foremen on the
ground, yesterday, he gave it as his opin-
ion that the Palace could not be completed
before the lst of June.
The neighborhood of Reservoir-square
presents busy scene. Speculation is ac-
tive in running up buildings of every dis
cription-intended as places Of amuse
ment, of refreshmont, or lodging for the
expected influx Of visitors. The pros
pect at present does not present the most
inviting appearance--vacant lots, ragged
rocks, and deep pits, with relics of country
shapties. 1t will require brisk work to
transform the scenes to something worthy
the occasion of our Worlds Fair. -
However, when American enterprise is
engaged, we hope for much in a brief
time.
The massive Reservoir presents strong
contrast to the light arial structure cree
ting under its heavy shadow, and the un-
substantial buildings springing up around
A fine view of the skeleton palace, and
the busy neighborhood, is to be had from
the Resevoir--a promenade on which well
repays the numerous visitors who, in the
present inviting weather, resort thither
Among other speculations we noticed a
large wooden tower which is in course Of
erection opposite the northern entrance to
the Palace. Its shape is octagon, each
corner being firmly secured in the rock
foundation. The base is rs feet in diane,
ter, and it is intended to run to aheight Of
800 feet--5 feet diameter at the apex
A well Is feet in diameter will be carried
the whole way up, through which persons
will be hoisted to the different landings
one at the height of 100 feet, another
200, and third at an elevation Of 27C
feet. There will be also spiral stair
case. The proprietors are Mr. W, Lat,
tinu and others, An extensive view o
New York, the noble rivers, the bay, and
adjoining cities, will be obtainedfrOm this
tower, the largest wooden structure of the
kind.
Other buildings are in progress which
will deserve notice when they have as'
sumed a more definite outline. The chiel
attraction in connection with the Great
Exhibition, Though not in the immediate
neighbOrhood,) will be the vast amphi.

Trnde OF the Amazon and La Plata



The Union furnishes the following in
teresting information in relation to recent
events that will throw open to the COM
merce of our country an immense and fer
tile region of South: America:
The last arrival from South America
brings us the gratifying intelligence that
BEIzU, the enlightened President of Boli-
via, by decree Of January 9th, 1853, has
thrown open all the Bolivian tributaries
of the Amazon and La Plata that are
nayipable to the commerce OF the world,
and offered a reward of ten thousand dol
lars to the master Of the first steamer that
shall reach any one of these tributaries;
either by the La Plata or the Amazon,
Lieut., GIDBoN, who was sent out about
two years ago with Lieut., HERYDoN, Uni
ted States Navy, to explore the Amazon
from its sources to its mouth, has just ar
rived. We have had the pleasure of
conversing with him upon the subject Of
this most interesting expedition. llepas-
sed through the Bolivian provinces which
are thus thrown open to the commerce OF
all nations, and describes tlwt whole re-
gion as one of the most beautiful, pro-
ductivc, and finest countries on the face
of the earth. In his opinion there arc
now materials enough there to give rise
to commerce of several millions of dol
lars year, and that commerce of this
value would spring up the moment free
transit is secured for it up and down the
Amazon; through the territories Of Bra
all. Considering the large space which
that region Of country has OF late been
made to occupy it the public mind in this
hemisphere, by the publication of the
"Inca" and other papers with regard tc
it, by the recent exploration of it by off
GERS of the American navy, we rcgarC
this action of the Bolivian Government
as subjector public congratulation.
From this decree, we think, will com
mencc new era for the Spanish Repub

The rcvoutio oh the free naviga

l,yr us MAKEA CHANGE.--lt Is now
generally conceded by men Of all parties
that the first Legislature under the new
Conslimtion-the Democratic Legislature
whose election was to cover the land with
blessings and benefit" has been a
periecthumbug. Sam, Medary, himself
says the Democrats, for months together
have acted "worse than the Wings ever
did !" TO be sure they have. No Wing
Legislature ever stutlied itself as this
Four Dollars. .a.day and Two Sessions-in-

For proof Of this look into the records OF
the past, and compare the policy and the
figures OF the two parties together. Now
that Locoiocoism has been sucha "poor
fist in governing Our noble States, with
every thing in their hands, ought not the
people to make change and place the
rcins again in Wing hands? 1t won't dc
to hope for anything better from a new sci

OF that party will tell the people that the

better Democrats should be sent in then

use. But change Of Locolocos will mo-

people can do is 10 place the power bacl

not be abused, but used for the protection
and prosperity Of the whole people. -
i Wings are incapable of making such
perfect failure as the Locoiocos have
made. Farmers, mechanics, laborine

whereabouts of our old acquaintance DR..
Randall, of historical, geological and an
tiquarian memory. formerly Of this city,
who left with the former collector, Col.
Collier, in l849. The letter says:

under the command of Capt. Bill. In
about six hours we reached the somewhat
famous Bay of Sir Francis Drake, or more
familliarly known among sailors as "Jacks

Coast Survey has nearly been completed
from San Diego to Cape Flattery, in Ore

thai the utter depreciation of gold is near

hope be realized that the gold quarries
may soon be exhausted.
