The Fair of the Metropolitan Mechanics

The Fair OF the metropolitan Mecnanlcs'
Institute was closed last night, after season OF
five weeks.
We learn that the receipts are between six and
seven thousand dollars, and the expenses over
four thousand. There will, therefore, be sur
plus on hand, though not SO large as we had anti
cipated, and hoped.
The affairs of the exhibition were well man
aged by those associated with the directorship
and il is our opinion thai, while the public have
been graiifed there is their part, little or no
cause whatsoever to complain.
The lecture room Of the Smithsonian Institution
was, last night, crowded with ladies and gentle
men 10 witness the concluding ceremonies The
reading of the awards excited, of course, much
interest. long string of them; but, notwthstand-
ing, many were disappointed, not even receiving
/" favorable mention" As an old gentleman once
sad when maiden daughter far advanced in
years, got married. and when il was suggested
that he would be lonesome, All we must expect
such things"
We had not time 10 copy the long list Of awards,
and are enabled, owing TO the late hour of their
announcement, TO give but lew Of the items on
this branch ofthe subject
As TO the musical instruments, silver medal
has been awarded 10 Henry Erben, for an organ,
and one to Steinway and Sons, of New York, for
their semigrand and square pianos. The other
piano men were noticed thus: Bacon and Raven,
New York, bronze medal; Hallett and Davis,
Boston, and Knabe, Gaehle and Co., of Baltimore;
each firm, diploma. e. Edmonson and Master
James Mankin, Of this city, diplomas for their ban
jos. We trust that these minor awards will not
be the cause Of any discord among the gentlemen
Immediately interested in the instruments.
With regard TO machinery the Mattewean
Machine Company, of New York, take silver
Washington, d. c., Entwistle and Moore, OF
Alexandra, Virginia, and George Page and Co.,
Baltimore--each firm bronze medal. Hutchison
and Co., for their stave and barrel machine sill
yer medal.
Jewery: Garfield and Brother. Baltimore, a
silver medal; Cali and Brother, Washington, a
bronze medal. (We here take occasion 20 say, by
way of parenthesis, that this enterprisng firm af-
ford evidence, in all the articles of their manufac-
ture ofverysuperior handiwork. Every piece from
their establishment is model, if not a medal, for
imitation by others engaged in similar busness)
H. Semkin, bronze medal; James H. Simpson,
Baltimore, ice pitchers bronze medal.
Time-keepers: Dennson, Howard. and Davis,

In the distribution of premiums, thesladies will
be provided among other things, with butter knives,
gravy spoons, cuff pins, sugar tongs, and such
like articles; of more value because of the-objects
for which they wers awarded than for the uses TO
which they will be devoted.

or yioiatisgupf their laws by any other
power; let us still feel a just pride and
confidence in that protection and securi-
ty guaranteed to every citizen of the re-
public, by the laws. And scorning the
protestations of all natural and indcfeasi-

TIN POPULATION Of THE EASTERN AND

now being taken in several of the Eastern
and Middle States, indicates that the emil
grafton TO the West aud California has
checked che great increase of population
heretofore apparent in The Atlantic por-
tionof The conEedcracy. In New York
State especially in tho agricultural comi-
ties, at many points there is an actual de-
crease; in Others but a slight increase.

Of the census Of that city, now nearly
completed, win disappoint nearly every
one. There has been only a very small
increase during The last Eve Years
