We understand that there is but one other spelieren of the kind in the United States,-that on the Flokida coast. The Power's statutes have been turned with their backs to the public, and present a whimsically awkward appearance, very poorly compensated for by the little better light thrown up on them. The Minerllogical dEpartmefit is getting in order, and will be opened this week. The Machinery lags. There is a great deal of it already on exhibition, but a great deal more awaiting the dilatoriness of the exhibitors or per sons charged with the duty of putting it in order. This is unconscionable. Exhibitors who secure space, arld oc cupy it for weeks with piles of rusty iron, or delay occupying it at all until the exhibition has been opened two or three months, abuse not only the As sociation but the public. Prominent in the machine arcade, are the various patterns of Centrifu gal Pumps, one of which makes the admirable fountain which sometimes plays for a few minutes, in the aisle leading to the machinery; (admirable in power and capacity only we beg to be understood. It might and should have been as beautiful as it is colos sal in volume.) There is no means of setting water in motion artficially, Imong the innumerable pump finily, to be compared to this. Tih larger sizes, such as that used for the fount ain, disgorge at the rate of about two bu rels of water per second, and are incapable of being choked or disorder e-1 by any kind of ruobish, thrown out sand and even stones, without the least discomposure. Dick's remarkable machines-not yet old enough to lose altogether a title to novelty-are anoig the most attractive objects to visitors; in par ticular the great boiler shears, slicing up half inch iron plates, as if they were silk ribbons. The peculiarity consists in a highly scientific as well as inge nious arrangement for realizing con centrated power without the large loss by friction resulting from other contrivances for the same purpose, of which the connection of different sized wheels, is the most availalde and ustuil. The compactness and cheap iiess (if the arrangement, render it ap plicable and peculiarly convenient, for every imaginable use, from a cheese press to a machine for moving moun tans. RENTs IN NEw- oRK--A New.Yoit corresp-udent of the National intelli" gencer has the 'ollowing statement rel ative to the enormodis amounts paid for rent in Yew-York. "I am perfectly dstotlslied at the rate of rents in this city. I know a sinigle bdmedn room on Wall street; to reach which you niust decend five or six steps from the footway,- with a low tent'oot ceiling, and the room not more than thirty by twenty feet, which rents for $0,000 per annum. A lot twenty-five feet by se--enty-five, as high up on Broadway as the carner otf Fultoni street, was recently leased for twenty-n years at $14,500 per an uno, at the end of' which time the groumnd landlord is besides to have the building which is now being erected on it, and which *1l1l cost $2i0.000. A building on Broadway, immediately adjoining Trinity ebarch-yard, fort~y f'eet fr'ont and two hundred fecet deep, openting onl a Side alley, and cut up in to corridors and~ otliceq, brings an ag gregato renit of $600 per annum: and a gentlenmn, who has built himi self' a splenidid dweclinmg as high up in Biroadway' as the neighborhood of' Un io~n Square, at least two miles above the City Hall, says he plainly sees that he mnust be0 driven away in a few years by the encroachment of' hotels, stores, and3( shops, and told me he had already been offered a rent of $ 10,000 per an nm~im for' his house."

A month or so after the liquor was all draw~n (out, some person knocked in the head of the barrel; whent it was found to con tauin tobacco sufl'icient to have made f;ourteen& llugs. This was put, in to color the whiskey. "D~on't pumt any more water in that brandy." (?) War Rn~nan IEF~T.-The city of' Louisville, Ky., in 1838, had niot, a single railroad running into her limits. Since then she has subscribed to dlifferenit roads to the amount of three millions of'dollars. The value of the property in Louisville in 1848, when she entered upon the grand scheme of railroad building, was a lit tle over $16,000,000; now, after five years only, it is a little less than *:i,000,000, anid the city was nev er increasing macre rapidly in popula tion, and never exhibited more eviden ces of general prosperity.
