Some of the papers censure the aldermen tor ir; but the aldermen say they have had enough agitation; and we think so too. Mr Webster takes as much pains now to allay the abolition mania, as he once took in propagating it. He has done as much towards bringing about the present state of feeling as any man living. fjQ- The whigs of Michigan have nominated Genl. Scott for the Presidency. WORLD'S FAIR. The London correspon- dent of the N. Y. Tribune says : Hyde Park, March 26, 1851. It :s raining in torrents. In fact, the weather since the commencement of this month has heen wet, gloomy, and misera ble; still the work at the Palace progresses. Considerable inconvenience has been ex perienced from leakages in parts of the roof where thu attempted water-proofing process has not been perfected; and manv of the papers now openly state the opinion that the building, from the contraction and expansion of such an immense pile of glass, iron, wood, and putty, cannot be rendered impervious to the rain; or safe from injury and breakage by the heat of the summeV sun. It will doubtless be found necessary to cover the entire roof with some water proofed material. The French and other nations are deco rating their respective portions of space' handsomely; and it is to be regretted that ours is the only country which has not placed at the disposal of its commissioner a suitable fund to enable him to' do so. It is intended to lay down nn electric tele graph round the building, with a dial plate at each entrance, that due notice may be simultaneously communicated to every part ot the edifice on the arrival; of any known swindler or pickpocket, so that he may, be closely watched, or to facilitate the recovery of anything which may be stolen in the crowds that will constantly be passing and repassing. It is now said that her Majesty will distribute the prizes of the exhibition; but as they have dwindled down from premi ums of 85,000 and less, as first promised. to bronze medals, it does not so much mat ter who confers the honor on the victors. Throughout London, new windows, new fronts, and fresh paint are giving a bright appearance to the old and diny buildings. Every one seems to expect to make a for tune the coming season. The publicans, lodging-house keepers, omnibus and cab proprietors, are in a happy frame of mind; and there cannot be a doubt that a very heavy' amount of money will be dissemina ted during this great VVorld's Peace Con vention. The shop window of London arc always tempting baits for the stranger, from the general custom of dealers in exposing so many of their wares, and ticketing them with prices which, if not really low, at least purport to be. It is amusing now to see how the present mania is seized hold of by shopkeepers; and exhibition needles, exhibition pork pies and sausages is fact, exhibition almost everything meet the eye of the rambler in all directions. There i 110 great influx of strangers here yet, unless we except thousands of the poor Iri.-li. who come over in the hope of getting a living in a. placewhich cannot kepp from starvation all. its own paupers. Overland Emioratiov. VVe learn by an intelligent gentleman ' from St. Joseph, Missouri, formerly a citizen of Cleveland, that there will be considerable overland emigration this season mostly Mormons to the Salt Lake valley, aud families to Oregon. He estimates the Mormons who are preparing to leave Council Bluffs and vicinity for the Salt Lake at ten thousand The Latter Day Saints make Council Bluffs a sort of half-way house in journey ing to the promised land, stopping over there anil raising a crop, and then giving way to fresh hosts of Mormon convert from near and distant lands, of all persua sions, kindreds, and tongues. 1 he coun try around Council Bluffs is prairie, and as the lands still belong to government, and have not been put in market, the saints take possession, and occupy where and as long as they please. When about to emigrate further west, they dispose of their improvements to new-comers at cheap rates, the motto among the brethren being to 'live and let live.' Quite a number of families from Illinois and other western States are preparing to make the overland journey to Oregon this season ; and we notice that one of the newly-appointed officers of that Territory a resident of Cincinnati purposes to takeout considerable of a colony with him, the families being principally from Ohio. Some eighty or more persons will compose the company. CltaveUmd Herald. THE LAST DOG STORY. Mr Luke Hortbn, of South Eighth street, keeps' a dog calfcd La Vega, an ill-favored, fiefce-eyed brute, whose untidy habits and cross grained temper cause him to be held in detestation by the family in gener al, and by Mrs Horton. his mistress, in particular. La Vega, however, is a great favorite with his master About a week fl0. Mrs Horton become exasperated on account of some unendurable offence com mitted by La Vega, and privately bargained with an old collector of soap-fat, named Abe Walker, who. for n dollar fee, agreed to lake the dog off and render him up' into tallow, or otherwise relieve Mrs Hor ton from the annoyance of his presence. Mr Horton. on coming home to dinner inquired for La Vega, and was chargrined with the information that his troublesome pet had absconded. For some days the absence of La Vega gave occasion for much rejoicing in the household, and .een the grief of Air Horton for his loss was made the subject of many a sly joke in his do mestic establishment. -Mrs II. congratu lated herself excessively on that lucky thought of hers, which cleaned the hou-e of that odious orute;'and though a lady who thinks a good deal of a dollar, she did not grudge the money, since it gained her ob ject so effectually. In the mean time . La Vega was detained a close prisoner in the cellaror the soap factory amusing himself by snapping art the rats which coursed about the premises, and sustained himself like Napoleon at Elba, with the belief that the objects of his dest?rry were not yet ac complished. On Tuesday morning Mr Horton ap peared at the breakfast table with a beam ing countenance. "Well, my dear, good news!'' said he to Mrs. II. What is it?" asked the lady, with some sreret misgiving. 'I've got La Vega back again! Adver tised fur him in the Ledger; offered a re ward for his recovery, and .this morning he was brought home by Abe Walker." 4lleavensi" ejaculated Mrs Horton; w hat did you have to pay for him?" On ly eleven dollars," replied Horton, one for the advertisement, and ten to old Abe for bringing him back.' 'Merciful good npssl:' replied the unsympathizing wifr. Eleven dollars, (enough to buy a silk dress, for the recovery of such a nasty cur! aud to think that 1 gave the black ras cal a dollar for takinz him off!" This in advertent confession, of course produced a matrimonial duel; the report of which we omit, tt-j it might appenr ntulo nl mon place to some of our married readers. By this little canine speculation, all parties were gainers. Abu Walker, the cunning darkey, gained ten dollars; the advertising sheet gained one, and Mr and Mrs Horton gained some valuable expe rience, which will teach them the impor tance of mutual confidence between wed ded parties. Sandusdy Democrat. Attemptkd Muudf.r of a Woman bv iif.k Lovf.r. On the 15th inst.. we learn by the Lexington (Miss.) Equal Rights, that a Mr Tate attempted to kill Mm Shepherd by firing a pistol, the ball of which entered her breast in the region of the heart, and lodged in the opposite side. The circumstances, brief! j are these: There was a wedding at w.iich both parties were guests. After the marriage ceremo ny a dance was proposed, but as the host and hostess were church members it was proposed to adjourn to a neighbor's house to finish the festivities of the night. -Miss Shepherd refused to go, as she was also a member of the church. Mr Tate, who wished to anticipate a husband's authority, rushed info her apartment, where she had retired with her mother and some other ladies, and asked her if she would go over t the dance or not. On her replying in the negative, he drew two pistols, one of which took effect as above stated. From last accountw Miss Shepherd was not ex pec ed to live.
