The French Indu.,ri.I E1hibi,ion.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Eoeatng Post says that the approaching exhibit
ton in Paris promises TO be more brilliant and
successful than was anticipated by the most
sanguine, three months ago. All the continen.
tai nations will be extensively represented. In
Great Britain, only, does the war so extensively
engross public attention as to interfere seriously
with the preparations fthe Paris fair. Austria,
which had seven hundred exhibitors at the
London fair, will have eighteen hundred here;
Prussia, which had six hundred exhibitors at
London, will have sixteen hundred here; and
even Switzerland will have more than FIVE
hundred, youching for the dignity Of her posi-
ton as a manufacturing State.
The United States has the place of honor in
the exhibition. On entering the building by
the grand entrance, the visitor will advance at
once into the American section. Great Britain
will have position upon the right and France
upon the left. More than four thousand square
feet of space has been assigned 10 the United
States, and on the 23d Of February last the
Central Committee of American Commissioners
had been notified of intention to exhibit by but
about sixty-four Americans. The prospects
were that the department would not be filed
up at the time of opening. 1t is to be hoped
that this will not be the case. America should
be well represented in an exhibition like that
which is coming off in Paris, and we trust that
her citizens will be enterprising enough to send
a handsome show of goods to the fair. A dis
play Of American productions. manufactures
and inventions, might be made which would
be second to that of no other country.

The reports Of the Legislative committee are
published in house document. The majority
report, signed by 0. w. Allen, Of the senate
and J. w. Stone, Z. Z. Knowles, and Oliver
Warner, OF the house, is long anti-slavery
argument, and concludes with recommending
Mr.. Loring's removal from the Office OF Judge
of probate for Suffolk county, because he has
sinned against the moral sentiments Of Massa-
chusetts," not because he has failed in his duty
in said Office. Bradford X. Pierce and Erasmus
Gould declined TO sign the majority report
because no evidence was put in to show that
bis decision as U. 5. commissioner in the slave
case was corrupt; because if he had decided in
favor of the slave no complaint would have
been made against him; and because they will
not make one man a sacrifice for the sins Of
others, even for the benefit Of good cause"
Their reasons are followed bya minority report,
signed by George III. Devereux, which goes
against the removal Of Mr.. Loring as an arbi-
trary exercise of power, dangerous to the indie.
pendence Of the judiciary, and neither just nor
magnanimous on the part of the State, which,
If prepared to resist the authority of the Union,
ought to do it in her sovereign capacity, instead
Of offering up a single citizen as a victim to
anti-slavery rage and fanaticism.
All three Of these papers are sharp upon the
fugitive slave law, and the Nebraska act But
the only offence alleged against the judge OF
probate is that he, as commissioner, acted
against the public opinion Of the State. We
shall see whether the *. n. legislature will
punish him for that.--BoSton Post.

INDEPENDENCE, Missouri, March 1--we
have just received by express the proclamation
of Governor Reeder. 1t is yet unpublished, rs
it seems there is no hurry on the part of his
Excellency to have it circulated abroad. The
manuscript is in q printing Office in Lawrence,
whence our herald procured copy. The
most important are the following paragraphs re-
lative to the rejection. A voter must dwell here
at the time of offering his vote. He must then
have commenced an actual inhabitancy, which
he actually intends to continue permanently,
and he must have made the territory his dwell
ing to the exclusion Of any other home. In
case any election is contested, the parties ag-
grieved must bring the matter before the Go
vernon, who shall determine the case between
the parties contesting; he thus makes himself
the legislator, judge, and executive. The cleo
ton takes place on Friday, 3Oth instant.

The Galapagos Islands--Protest Of the
English, French, and Spanish Govern
ments.
The Ell Mercurio de Pouincids paper pub
lished at Valparaiso, contains copy of the
protest made by the Minister of Peru, the
Charge d Affaires Of France, and the British
Consul at Quito, against the transfer to the
United States of any interest whatever in the
Galapagos Islands. The document says, it
having come TO their knowledge that by a
treaty between the Equitorian Government and
the United States Of North America, by which
protectorate is granted to the latter over the
Island of Galapagos, they presented to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs considerations
against it, what however, we're Intellectual /;
and, considering that the transaction violated
high interests, irrespective of Ecuador, and
that the Government cannot and ought not 10
bind itself without the assent of the nations
whose interests would be directly or indirectly
affected, and rejecting that their silence might
be received as an implied acquiescence that
would operate against rights which they are
bound to protect against the aforesaid treaty,
in respect to the stipulation alluded to, and to
every other particular that may damage or
curtail the political and commercial interests

Seizure OF Diamonds, alleged to have been
Struggled.

A few days since posse of Custom House
officials, headed by Capt. Rynders, called at the
establishment of Theo. Christ, manufacturer
and importer Of jewelry at No. 1l9 Nassau
street, and took possession Of his entire stock,
alleging that some or all of it has been SNUG
gled. The officers retained possession of the
goods until Wednesday, the safes containing
the diamonds and other jewelry to the value Of
100000 being kept sealed, except during the
time the search was progressing. Finally, the
legitimate importation of all the property was
satisfactorily accounted for, with the exception
of package of diamonds and other precious
stones valued at $4,000, which the officers took
possession Of upon the allegation that they had
been struggled. Mr.. Christ states that these
belong partly to private individuals and partly
to himself, he having purchased them from a
wealthy lady of this city. The officers, before
removing the package, offered to let them re-
main, provided Mr.. G. would prove that they
had not been struggled, but Mr.. c., by advice
of his counsel, L. B. Shepard, esq, preferred
leaving those who charge him with smuggling
to prove it and says they have acted without
justifable evidence. The matter will be imme-
diately investigated.-N. y. Express.

Turkeys Greatest Statesman a slave.

We extract the following interesting account
Of one of Turkeys statesmen from a letter in
the Boston Post, received by the last steamer
Turkey has lost the strongest of her old
statesmen during the present month, Khosref
Pasha. lie was ninety-seven years old, and
has been prominent man in the councils Of
the Porte ever since the days of Catharine of
Russia. As he was the Oldest, so he was the
richest of the notabes of Turkey. His history
is as thoroughly Turkish as were his honors
and habiliments When George Washington
was surveying lands on the branches Of the
Ohio, and Seth Pomeroy was boring out the
spiked cannon on the forts of Louisburg,
Khosref was lame and deformed orphan in
the mountains Of the Caucasus, obtaining
Precarious existence by little services among
the cottagers. Before the British red coats
had marched back to Boston from Lexington
Common, to the tune of Yankee Doodle, the
humpbacked beggar boy had stood as slave
In the STEAMBOAT slave market, had been in
stalled as servant into the palace of Abdul
Hamed, and had found his way to the favor of
young Mahmoud, the then heir to the throne.
In the country and the position where the pass
port to success is fine figure and engaging
manners, young Khosref, destitute of both,
possessed some faculty of gaining and retaining
good will, which enabled him to conquer ma
ture. When Mahmond succeeded to the throne,
the fortunes of the orphan boy rose, and being
shortly afterwards made secretary to Capudan
Pasha, he laid the foundation Of his enormous
wealth. He has outlived all his friends and
all his foes, but his prosperity never left him.
Like Talleyrand, he has been ready to acqui-
esce in every change, and has generally sue
ceeded in obtaining something from every revo
luton. But he was always slave. From the
servitude of the imperial house there is no
manumission. Though he leaves nearly two
million pounds sterling in money, every far
thing of it goes to the present Sultan"

SPRING FAsHIoSs.-Thursday was "opening
day" among the New York milliners, and the
Herald gives the following description of the
Spring bonnet: -
The bonnets this season are not so much
fared as last; the crown droops more, and the
front is slightly projecting, and very many are
covered with dotted lace, either black or white.
They are trimmed with profusion of flowers,
intermingled with white and black blonde.
Flowers are much used in trimming, both inside
and out, and quite a novel effect is produced
by the combination of white and black blonde.
Straw enters largely into the composition Of
bonnets this season, the fronts of many being
formed Of it, and the trimmings Of others
receiving additional beauty from the intermix-
ture of flowers Of the same glancing material
Madame Ferrerro exhibits two SPLENDID speci-
mons. The crown and edge Of the front is
made Of the finest spnt straw, and the front
and part Of the side crown is OF hair arranged
80 as TO resemble puf6ngs, each putting being
confined by single row of braid. An exquisite
border Of hair lace, with shelllike edge, light
as blonde and far more beautiful, is attached to
the front rim Of the hat and thrown back
With the exception Of the crown, the hat is
transparent, and it is, without exception, the
rarest and most recherche we have ever seen.

What Il a Hindoo.

New York IS famous for names to political
parties. The Wings are classified as "Silver
Greys" and Woody Heads" the Democrats as
/" Hards' and "Softs,' and the X. Ms as " in
DOCS" The following explains the reason;
The Thugs of Hindostan are an association
who believe it is their duty to exterminate all who
do not belong to their own order. They meet
in secret lodges and are sworn with solemn
oaths. They lie in wait for unsuspecting pass.
ers-by, and attacking them suddenly, and with
out warning, strangle them. The higher the
position and character Of the victim, the greater
is supposed to be the merit of the act. The
Thug who strangles the largest number Of vic
Tins IN the course Of year is rewarded with
the title of Grand Thug Of the Council, and in
vested with despotic power. If any Thug re-
fuses to yield unquestioning power to the com
mands Of the Grand Thug, they make an
image or effigy Of him, which they burn, at the
same time stoning and cursing it. This is sup
posed to visit him with all manner of misfor-
tunes After this any Thug who meets him is
bound to stab him to the heart, provided he
can do so without risk Of detection. Every
member OF the order is sworn to deny his con
nection with It, and when Intercepted to say
he knows nothing about it. When apprehended
and brought to- justice, they claim to be per-
sons of the greatest morality and virtue, and
justify their acts by saying that they only wish
to establish the true religion, wiz: their own,)
and prevent foreigners, (viz: all who are not
Thugs,) from getting control of the country.
The points of resemblance between the Thugs
of Hindostan, and the Know-nothings of this
country, are, it will be seen, many and striking;
with preference on the score Of merit and fair
dealing, slightly in favor of the Thugs.-Maine
