For the shy.


Mr.. EDIToR lit was my good fortune to at
tend the exhibition given in Quinsigamoadvnlag
on Thursday evening, and have never attended
anything of the kind where better taste was dis
played, or better order manifested. The pieces
selected were of high order, and well calculated
to have good impression upon the minds OF those
who listened to them.
The "Seven Clerks was well performed The
characters were so well sustained as to reflect
great credit on those who appeared in the several
characters; and we hardly know which should be
ton, we should be inclined to say that the New
bury's rather bore off the palm.
" Denouneus Daughter" was well done, but we
should like to have seen more life given to some
parts oft However, that can be remedied at
another time. As whole. we think the piece
could not have been played much better The
exhibition is deserving of much praise-hrst, on
account of the good selections of the pieces
Secondly for the very acceptable manner they
were performed; thirdly, for the good ORDER and
very courteous manner in which the friends were
received, who came to witness the exhibition

funds raised, to increase the Library for the ben

The gondolas are all painted with dingy black
color, which gives them sombre, funereal look
The reason assigned for this custom is that, many
years ago, the passion for extravagantly decorat-
ing and fitting up the gondolas had risen to such
hight, that enormous sums were often expended
IN the gliding and decorations of single boat, en-.
dangering the ruin of many families in attempting
to outrival their neighbors' water equipages-and
the foolish rivalry pervaded all classes The gov.
eminent, toput stop to the increasing evil pass.
ed an edict directing that all the Condo as should
be entirely stripped of their ornaments and, ever
after, to be painted in plain black. So that, now
there is no difference in the gondolas of the rich
and the poor-excepting that some of the wealthy
families dress their boatmen in handsome livery,
as coachmen often are in other cities
We spent many lovely evening at Venice, in
quietly sailing about in gondola, in the STILL
smooth waters of the wide canals, in company
with hundreds of other boats and, the moon be-
ing at its full in cloudIess sky with the air of a
soft and agreeable temperature the scene was per-
fectly delightful and enchanting
The banks of some of the larger canals are
lined with splendid marble palaces of the nobili-
ty; none, however, of modern erection. Some of
them are falling to decay, and are occupied as no.
tells. The house we lodge in, the Hotel de rEu-
rope, is an ancient marble palace, of handsome
architecture, and contains sixteen large parlors,
and one hundred and seventeen bedrooms The
marble door steps of all the houses lead directly
down to the water.
Venice has population of about one hundred
and ten thousand inhabitants From the top Of
the tower, in ST. Marks Square, had a very fine
view of the city, which is more than two miles
and a half IN diameter, appearing about the size
of Boston.
There are more than three hundred marble
bridges over the canals, including the famous
"Bridge of Signs" ard the celebrated " Rialto,"
which has shops on its sides, like street
The city is supplied with fresh water, brought
from the main land, by means of large iron pipes,
laid on the railroad viaduct, which enters the
city. There are also a few wells.
Beside the majestic temple of St. Mark, and
the singular looking Doge's Palace" and a few
churches Venice has little in the way of edifces
to interest stranger. These contain many verv
rare works of art, by celebrated old masters; for
particular description of which refer YOU to
| the books.
The only open square in the city, is ST. Marks,
which is perhaps four acres in extent; on one
side of which is the Cathedral of St. Mark, the
other three sides being occupied with splendid
blocks of buildings, in which are shops, restau-
rants, &c. An Austrian Government Band of
Musicians, about one hundred in number perform
in the Square every evening, to the delight and
amusement of the thousands who throng there.

The STOLEN RIFLES. The facts in the above

kanzas, with a hundred Sharp's rites and two
breach loading cannon. arriving at ST. Louis,
he divided his freight and sent the slides, the
most important part If the guns, BY land, and
the balance he shipped up the river on board
the steamer Arabia. After getting some dis
lance up the river the discovery appears to
have been made that arms were on board A
proposition was then madethai the guns should
be thrown overheard. and stone tied to the
necks of those in attendance, and they be sent
after the guns. This proposition prevailed,
but was afterwards reconsidered on the recon-
mendation of more liberal persons, and theIe
solve finally passed to leave the guns at Lex
ington. The passengers Unidentified the cap
tain of the boat; afterwards got the owner of
the guns into private room, and told him he
must sign certain pnpers, else he would be
passed over to mob on shore. Telling them
that he should do so. but against his will, he
signed TIE shipping bin held by the captain,
and duplicate held by himself, stating that he
received the freight at Lexington instead of
LeavenTorth city, to which they were consign
ed and releasing the captain from any damages
IN consequence ofthe delivery at that place.
The committee then gave the owner or agent

the guns from Mr. Hoyt, at his request, for
