Tlir i Empire. Au elaborate editorial in the Cincinnati Commercial, indicates either that he radicals of the West are in favor if or that tho leaders of party have set out to bring them to he support of that form of government. Dnc of the strangest and most things in the CommerciaVs article the suggestion of the city of New York as the fnture seat of government. This, to our is a plain proof that the establishment of the Imperialist" newspaper at New York wns a radical piece of work, and a very strong evidence that the radical party is soon to become openly the party of the Heretofore, when republicanism was supposed to bo a foregone conclusion, tho Western papers occasionally intimated very clearly that they intended soon to advocate the removal of the capital westward; but DOWj when we liud in a leading "Western ro publican paper a strong appeal in bcs balf of New York as the permanent capital, we feel assured that there is something in tho wind, and that it nothing less than a decided movement for the inauguration of an imperial form of government. Tho Commercial sajs: Holding the keys of tlic continent, commercially speaking, the concentrating point for the representative men of tho States when anything saving politics draws them to the Atlantic seaboard, Now York is the place of all others for the Capitol of the nation.

And no more coble site fur public buildings, which New York City alone would engage to erect upon a scale of grandeur and magnificence to which those upon the banks of the Potomac would offer no comparison, could be found than upon Washington Heights, overlooking the Hudson and the beati- fnl bay, and the whitening sails of commerce, and nil the busy life of the great metropolis. Nor would it be an uncentrral point, with the-Cunadas to the north, the "West India Islands to the south, and all the groat railroads of the continent converging there. The natural and commercial centre of America, it should also be its political focus. When Patrick Henry opposed the Federal Constitution on the ground of what he supposed to be its consolidating tendencies, lie referred to the fact that its advocates talked a great deal about the national grandeur and power of which to be the cause, and said to them that in other times they had talked less about greatness and more about freedom, and that he feared the change of tone was more favorable to the false glory of despotism than to that sober and rational prosperity of which liberty alone could be the source. For some time we have believed that Sir.

Seward cherished imperial ideas and wo are of opinion the Commercial knows that the Empire was at the bottom of his policy of territorial expansion. It is true that tho Commercial regards his labors as having reference to an imperial republic; but there is something very suspicious in that combination of terms, as well as in the talk about a "vast political autonomy extending from the frozen regions of tho Arctic to the summer land ot the tropics, with an unbroken coast line from Lancaster Sound to the Carribcan Sea on the east, and from Point Barren to Panama on the west, and including the outlying Islands of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This is not the republican style of speech, nor are some of the means by which, as the Commercial knows, this vast expansion must bo obtained, so compatible with republican principles as with tlic idea of "divine The Commercial does not advocate the coup d'etat as the method of changing the Republic into the Empire; but calls for a grand national convention, :1 composed of representatives not only from the present States, but from the 7lio Louisiana Sliilc Fnlr.

The Austin Republican says a very large majority of the Eepnblican Executive Committee of the State oppose a Convention.

and adds Judge Bell, who was President of the August Convention and who appointed this committee, regards it as utterly impossible to get a full and fair Convention of the party at this time. As we said a few days ago, Gov. Pease takes a similar view of the subject. The Executive Committee met ia Austin on the 20th and immediately tefter it decided not to call a Convention, the editor of the San Antonio Express anil the editor of the Houston Union, communicating by telegraph, united in culling a radical convention to meet in Houston on the 4th Monday of May." The movement causes considerable discussion among the radical bretheren, and it seems probable that, instead of having no convention at all, ia accordance with the advice of the chiefs, there -will be halt doxen in different parts ot the-State, engineered by aspiring and hungry subordinates.

Only three numbers have been issued, but in three bounds it has reached the van of American monthlies.

This, at least, is the programme of the future to which events point with unerring The Empire is but slightly concealed in such language at this, and we entirely agree with the Montgomery Jlait in the following estimate of its significance: It means Empire and Monarchy, an utter overthrow of the Constitution of our fathers, and a launching into the experiment of the French Revolution. It means the personal government of a Napoleon and tile i'jnus fatims of universal empire. The Commercial, as we have said, is a leading republican journal.

It is the only paper in the West which is compelled by its circulation to stereotype every edition. That it has been selected as the advocate of the views we have quoted, there can be but little doubt; acd we believe that" there could be no better sign of a strong radical movement in favor of imperialism than the ventilation of such views by such a paper. Especially, we repeat, do we regard the advocacy of New York, now imperial to the core, as the future at Indiaaola--so as to keep raw in bottles or jars for an indefinite, period, and ba sweet, Eound and juicy when taken out for attracted a sreat deal of notice, received a premium, and is getting into uiie on our restaurant tables and in private families. I wish the parties engaged in tlio all success. Whilst on tlio subject of comestibles, I muat not forgot tne sugar cured hams exhibited by my friends, Vose Brothers, and wuicb received the highest award.

These hams, judging by their looks and thosu of the ueat barrel that contained them, when opened in presence of the Committee, are prepared with more than ordinary caro. They are from the packery of Messrs. Samuel Davis, Jr. Cincinnati, who have bocn engaged in tho business, I learn, for thirty and davote special attention to putting up sugar cured hams. Thc-ir brand in that, lino has deservedly the leading reputation in our principal tnar' kets.

Messrs. Voso Brothers, at No. 03 Magazine street, nrs Messrs Davis agents here. In Department if you will remember, I alluded to an interesting display therein made of hoine-ruada cordials, liqeuers, syrups, and preserved fruits. This emanated from the labaratory and counters of Messrs.

G. W. Dunbar it Son, of our city, who have successfully erected on St. Louis street between Chartres and Old Levee, an establishment which, 'in completeness and efficiency of all tho means requisite to produce their delicate and delightful comeatiblea, bo surpassed in this country. In my note book I jotted down as exhibited by them at tho Fair, among other tempting articles Louisiana peacies, figs, pears, European figs, put up in liquor or in own juice concentrated pulp of tomatoes; also from the) native strawberry and raspberry and from tho pineapple natural nytups a delightful oranpe Mower water and all kinds of exquisite cordials.

Messrs Dunbar ton raako a specialty of their cordials, syrups and preserved fruits. So excellent ara their cordials, that they now successfully compete with importations from Europe, not. only ia this, but in the principal Northern and Western cities. Their pyrups aro flavored with tho juices of the fruits themselves, and not with essential oils and cogences, Their preserved fruits stand preeminent here, where wo have, from our largo European population, BO many judges of all such delicacies of the table. Their preserved Louisiana figa head the list.

The following is the official report of the premiums awarded to MeEBrs. Dunbar Son For twelve bottles of Louisiana made syrups, six different varieties, very fine and equal to the best imported twelve bottles of Louisiana assorted cordials, six varieties, all beautiful and very much, admired fur "b38t auizette cordial in the United Statee, a most delightful article, pure and Ireo from all adulterations for best specimen of peaches in liquor, grown in Louisiana;" for best specimen of pears in liquor, grown in for "best display of cordials, in variety and quality for best display of figs in liquor, grown in Louisiana, a most delicious article, a speciality of these growing rapidly in favor North and South foi best variety of fruits in liquor, from any State;" for best kummel," and for best cherry bounce." Mr. Dunbar, spent some time in Europe, studying in the beet establishments, specially to prepare himself for the business here. He is, I think, a native of New Orleans his father is one of our oldest and most esteemed business men. Auiidet all the brilliancy and beauty 1 ol the highly ornamental and artistic display in the great Octagon Hall, I paused, and stood for some time attentively examining a large glass ease, that gave cause for serious reflection.

The case contained a number of most beautifully made artificial arms and legs. They were exhibited by my friend, Mr. McDsrmott, the representative here of Mr. Lockwood, the facturer. Mr.

McDermott superintends. at No. 59 Camp street, the manufacture of the celebrated anatomical limbs, patent ed by Dr. Douglas Bly, and which now stand indubitably kt the head of all other patents in thai line. Tbe highest surgical authority in this country so pronounces them.

Dr. Bly's anatomical leaf, with lateral or side motion, is a master piece ingenuity, skill and efficiency. This case contained ten most exquisitely modeled limbs six legs, four for use in amputation below the knee, and two above; and four arms, for amputations above and beiow the elbow. When we consider the immense aid and comfort these inventions of Dr. Bly must give to the thousands cf maimed and mutilated veterans -that War's angry waves have left stranded on the shores ol Peace, it may justly be said that the inventor's reward cannot be measured by pecuniary remuneration, however liberal and continuous.

Stopping in two of the Departments before two very large and elegant displays, one ot boys', youths' and children's clothing, and the other of men's shirts, hosiery and furnishing which the exhibitor, Capt. BlayneyT. Walghe, received a diploma, three silver medals, a bronze medal, and a silver was remind' ed of the fact that it was scarce a year since this popular young merchant his large and handsome establishment, at No. 110 Canal street, upper side, near St. Charles, and his success vras not only immediate but hag kept on increasing at a most gratifying ratio.

Among the beautiful lings and lockets, elegant sleeve buttons, lithe and delicate watch chains, and (lashing diamond original design --breastpins and earrings, joined the committee in particularly praising a email diamond tiara for a lady's wear--the diamonds set in apray form, and so artfully arranged on springs, as to tremble at the slightest motion, and thus constantly dazzle the eye with Uieir beautiful flash. The diamonds can be detached, and used separately as a breastpin and earrinps. Tue combined delicaaf, taste and brilliancy of this ornament merit all the praise that uae so lavishly been showered on it. Messrs. Slocutnb, Baldwin Co.

made a very large, varied, and complete display of hardware and agricultural implements, receiving therefor more awards than any house in their line. The awards included various grades of merit; diploma, silver and medals, and my notes show these to have been given the firm for, among others, the following articles cotton and sugar plows, grain cradle, cotton scraper, corn planter, best table, cut' lery, best display of cutlery of all kinds, best display of hardware, best display of edge tools, best display of vises, best display of paruen implements, beat assortment ol shear and blister steel, best refrigerator for family use, best iron vases, best hinges, best cut nails, best tools for carpenters and for ship carpenters, best assortment of cabinet locks, best assortment of spoons and forks, best saddler's, harness, and shoemaker's punches, besides bests of other articles, useful to the mechanic, the gardener, the grocer and the housekeeper. At our first and second Fairs, the firm was equally successful. Capt. Slocomb's father successfully established the house over forty years ago; and succeeded by two of his clerks, Messrs.

Ricbard Mont, gomery who, after many years excellent business, were succeeded by my young friend, and he has kept the house up to its old reputation, rla learnud the business practically under his predecessors; retains most, of the old employees; and whilst energetically attentive to business, is liberal and zealous supporter of such en-- terprises as our Fair Association. During the war, he achieved a brilliant reputation as commander of one ot the best Confederate light artillery batteries. Mr. Baldwin, a gentleman of much business experience, tact and energy, has been associated with Capt. Slocomb since the war and the two make a firm of young men, hard to equal, and not to be beaten, anywhere.

He pays special attention to filling country orders, with care and dispatch and returns the money, if the buyers be not satisfied.

What can be more liberal. Four of the principal workmen in the old established and first class jewelry stor.e of that excellent man and citizen, Mr. E. A. Tyler, exhibited theii handicraft, in their own names, and took the liigheiit awards.

Mr. Felix Tboma, foreman of the watch department, received a premium for'two watches, made by himself, which good judges considered equal to any made in Geneva or elsewhere. was much pleased with their chaste simplicity and neatness. A large case was shown by Mr. W.

Pewjay, containing jewelry, assorted table eilverwara, and Masonic and Odd Fellows' jewels, that exhibited decided originality. of design and skill in workmanship. A gold hunting cup, with horses and other figures chased in bold relief on the outside, particularly struck Mr. F.

The outside tone of the English people is anti-American and more so in consequence of having received only a partial publication of Sumner'a argui ment. The London Star asserts that Sutn- ner'a demands are new and startling, and must be regarded as enormous, and it only shadow instructions given to Motley. That gentleman will stand in a very different position from tuat occupied by Johnson.

Motley's rejection as American Minister to the Court of St. James is threatened in case his instructions merely coincide with the expressions of Sumner. Such demands are utterly untenable, and her-Mnjeiity's Ministers must bo careful in entertaining them. The London Times breaths forth the spirit of war in defence of the treaty. claiming that Suinner's rnoner estimate of damages is pretentious and enormous.

The Times adds that although hia ad- drees is worthy of attentive consideration, no contrition, or humiliation should either bo expressed or endured by England, for if sides were to be taken the case would be prejudiced against her, and any project of an equitable settlement would be defeated. The Standard, a tory organ, exhibits a spirit of dafianee towards the American people, and will resist, to the last, any concession by England. This position is contested by the Liverpool Post, which says that England not afford a quarrel, large or small, with America.
