SEwING-MAcHINE AWARDS BY THE AMBRI-
CAN INSTITUTE, N. Y.-The Committee of
the American Institute, N. Y, appointed at
the late exhibition at Palace Garden, to ex-
anime sewing machines, have made long,
elaborate and able report, of much interest
to the public. Although the utility of this
invention is established beyond all question,
yet, for the various purposes of its applica-
ton, ignorance exists as to the particular
patent best for specific purpose. Commit
tees, heretofore, have not Disseminated and
classified sufficiently. This report is free
from these faults. The machines are ar
ranged according to the stitch made, and the
purpose TO which the machine is te be ap-
piled, in four classes: first, second, third and
fourth-a classification indicating the gem
eral order of merit and Importance:
Glass includes the shuttle or lock-stitch
machines for family use, and for manufac-
tureTs in the same range of purpose and ma
terial. The Committee has assigned this
class the highest rank, on account of the
elasticity, permanence, beauty and general
desirableness of the stitching when done,
and the wide range of its application. At
the head of this class they place the Wheeler
& Wilson Machine, and award it the highest
premium. This has been the uniform award
for this machine throughout the country fol
several years, and we think no disinterested
person will dispute its justice and pro
| priety.
Glass includes the shuttle or lock-stitcI
machines for heavy manufacturing pur
| poses.
Glass includes the double chain-stitcl
machines. The Grover & Baker Machine i
placed at the head of this class. The Com
mittee objects to the stitch made by this ma
chine, inasmuch as it consumes more threat
than any other stitch, and leaves a ridg
| projecting from one side of the seam. This
in the Committees opinion, must usual,
impair the durability of the seam, and oftel
the beauty of the garments or other article
so stitched, though some of the machine
making this stitch can be used very success
fully for embroidering purposes.
Glass 4 includes the single thread tam
bour or chain stitch machines. The ten
dency of this stitch TO ravel, the Committe
considers an objection so serious that the
refuse to recommend the machines maxim
it for any premium.
The public is much indebted to this Con
mittee for the able discharge of their dut,
in rendering clear a subject that interest hi
so much darkened. ...

Wide-Rwako Procession-Lar Delegn-
items from the COuntry-Grnnd Display
IllumiuRtions. -.... -.,r. u.
The Wide.awake procession last night
was very large, Notwithstanding the very
unpropitious appearance of the morning,
and the raw atmosphere during the day.
We will not attempt TO compute numbers,
as that can never be done with any degree
of precision, except there be an actual
count. The most perfect order was pre-
served by the procession throughout, and
the whole line presented as regular an appear
ance as If IL were composed of well-drilled
soldiers. We could not discover, however, in
the lamps, any cause for that terror which
certain men in the South affect to feel, lest
they ycohcealhuge pikes-instruments known
to be most effective in modern warfare, and
destined to supersede muskets Mimic rifles,
! Colts revolvers, howitzers and thirty two
| FOUNDERS on the contrary, we know, from
| actual inspection, of several of these lamps
and sticks, that it would not be possible to
have a large blade concealed in them; nor
are the caps and capes sufficient to act as
helmet and shield to protect the wearer
| against bullets, if they weigh an ounce or
more. Therefore, it is well to be calm, and
| await the course .of events, Cincinnati has
entertained thousands of the Wide-awakes,
and has been annihilated nor not even suE-
fered material loss.
The country towns throughout Central
Southern and. Eastern Indiana, Southern
Ohio, together with several places in Ken.
tucky, were largely represented. An elegant
repast or lunch was served up at the different
| Wide-Awake Headquarters, and at the large
hall of the Catholic Institute, which die
honor to the citizens of Cincinnati, and wa
highly appreciated By the guests for whom
it was prepared.
A large number of business houses ant
private residences were brilliantly illumin
ated, and presented an imposing appearance
When the procession passed the house o
Mr.. Hopkins, ON Vine-street, between Sixtl
and Seventh, about ten o'clock, it wa
saluted with a grand display of fireworks
and the salute was politely recognized by tn
procession.
The whole affair was certainly a success;

A Mexican Nero-HOrribIe Cruelties Of
Nffrnmnu.

As specimens of the revolving cruelty of
Miramon, we quote two paragraphs from the
latest Mexican correspondence Of the New
York Herald:
A few days back historical play was put
on the stage, at which Miramon and his fam
lily were present. In this play an appeal
was made to a monarch by his subject to
grant them the blessing of peace. The oc-
cason seemed favorable, and one of the au-
dience rose, and appealing to the President,
depicted in heart-rending tones the miseres
of the Mexican people, begging him also to
confer upon his country that boon as earn
| estly demanded of the monarch in the piece.
! Will it be believed that this unfortunate sup
! plicant was dragged to prison by order of
| MiTamon by the head of the police, and was
sentenced to receive 800 lashes at daybreak
| the following morning; when $50 had been
| administered, Miramon was informed that the
man was dying. "Let the remainder" he
| said "be given TO the dead body; my order
must he carried out"
| 1t has Just come to my knowledge that a
| poor unfortunate woman, whose husband
| had been taken as a soldier hy the press
| gang, was seized while endeavoring to IA
clitate his escape from the quarter in which
he was confined and was ordered to receive
300 lasbes. Although eHcieRte the 500 lashes
were administered. She died under the
torture, giving birth to a still-born child,
The man received the same number of lashes,
but survived.

THE SUSPENSION OF JOSIAH LEE & Co..
Their Failure Bad One--Lidbiities $500, 900.
A telegram to the New York Times says of
the failure of Lee & Co., already announced:
The Banking house of Josiah Lee Co.
suspended payment to-day. The firm con-
sisted of Cover & Brothers, who succeeded
TO the business after the retirement of Lee,
Carter & Dalrymple, and are now doing
business under the name and style of Josiah
Lee & Co. The firm was among the Oldest
and best known houses in Baltimore, having
existed nearly forty years. The failure has
been caused by the depression in Stocks.
Another dispatch from Baltimore remarks:
The failure of Josiah Lee & Co. is bad
one. They have large deposits, which are
in jeopardy. Their liabilities are probably
half million, though the extent of their in
debtedness is not yet ascertained. Their
assets have gone into the hands of Trustees,
and there are only slight hopes of obtaining
an extension.
