The crown is small and droops gracefully, and is absolutely, plain, with a small cajje made also of tulu. The peculiarity of this style of bonnet is its simplicity, and the entire absence of every species of ornament or trim" ming, as well on the outside as within. The consequence of this is a perfection of lightness and grace never before achieved in the creation of that delicaie aud difficult part of art, a lady's bonnet.

Indeed, the whole affair more like a Utile white cloud flecking the sunshine of a brigl.t summer day, or a bit of sea foam blown ashore by the menmuds in sport, or a bowl of Alabama egg nogg, rounded and running over, than nny mere matter of lace and needle work.

A friend in whoae taste and judgment we confide, pronounces it superior lo any Concert ever given in this cily.

The performers consisted of 24 gentlemen, accompanied by the new Organ lately built by Messrs. Benson for that Church. The effect of such a number of very fine and highly cultivated voices, in some of the finest productions of the great German masters was truly enchanting. We have not seen the programe, but understand It was composed of a pleasing variety of Chorusses, Quartettes, Duets and Solos, all of which were given with taste and skill unequalled by any performers which have appeared before a Buffalo audience. We regret to learn that very few persons were present at this Concert.

This must be owing lo a want of knowl edge on the part of our citizens that such a treat was In store for them. If the same Concert can be repeated for the same object, either in St. John's Church, the Washington St. Baptist, or the North Presbyterian Church, we greatly mistake the taste of our citizens, if it does not draw a full house and bear a repetition.

The annual appropriation bills and many gen eral measures affecting1 the public welfare, which were lett unfinished, should receive nnal action as early as practicable and in the discharge of this duty, your own no less than the interests of your constituents, will prompt the utmost des patch whicn you may deem consistent with pru dent and judicious deliberation.

It is a subject of gratifying reflection, that, in the elections recently held, so large a portion of the people of the State; rising above all party divisions, should have procl limed their adherence to the vital principle of our institutions, which clothes a constitutional niajority with the power to decide public questions and control the action of our representative bodies. The temporary-prostration of tho legislative power, by the of a minority, was an event which could hard ly fail to produco a deep impression upon the pub-lio mind. A proceeding of this character had never before occurred since the formation of a republican Government in this State. It was not the time in the course ofourStatie and National progress that wide differences of opinion had arisen in our legislative bodies respecting the expediency of public measures and tho legitimate con struction of constitutional provisions. But hitherto, iii season's of high popular excitement, when the violence of party spirit seemed to defy control and when pulitical divisions were most equally balanced, the encounters of debate have ceased, aud the gravest conflicts of opinion have yielded to the deliberate judgment of the majority.

The diversities of settlement which arise in the administration of a popular system, are to be viewed as a necessary incident of self-trovcrn ment. Our past experience has shewn that the utmost freedom of discussion is not inconsistent with the restraints of the Constitution, and that the controversies produced by opposing views of public questions are not hostild to the stability of democratic institutions. The cheerful acquiescence of the whole people in the ascertained will the majority, has ever constituted, the bright est feature of our history, furnishing indisputable proof of the wisdom of our republican theory, and the capacity of our citizens for the exercise of political responsibility. This principle of submission to the voicfuL the majority, expressed through tile forms of the Constitution, is" fundamental aud organic it pervades and animates our admirable system of regulated liberty, aud constitutes our only shield against the disorders of faction. Its practical recognition ha3 thus far happily distinguished our country from those ill-fated democracios.ancient and modem, which have sunk beneath the violence of popular strife and insubordination.

You will doubtless esteem it among the first of your duties to resume the consideration of the important subject which was under discussion in the Senate when its proceedings were so suddenly arrested. The merits of the measure, aud the objections which have been advanced in opposition to it, should receive your calm aud impartial deliberation. In my annual message to the Legislature, I deemed it my duty to invite your attention to the interesting subject of our canal policy, au 1 to present some considerations which appeared to me conclusive in favor of the early completion of our unfinished canals. The convictions which were then expressed in relation to tho expediency of consummating these improvements, to many years in progress, have gained strength from 'sub-sequent reflection and discussion. The importance of the trade and revenues of the Erie Canal to the prosperity of the State, is conceded by all.

No public work of any age or country has contributed so largely to the welfare and of a whole community. Every interest in the commonwealth bus felt its vivifying influence. The lyowns anil cities winch it has created tht unpar- auciMU prosperity 01 our principal emporium: the giant strides of Western New York in wealth and improvement; and, above alL the commercial supremacy of the State, may be pointed to with honest pride by all our citizens, as enduring memorials of the wisdom which conceived, and the energy which consummated the noble design of opening a water communication to unite the Lakes ith the Atlantic. It would not be difficult to demonstrate that the Erie Canal has added more than three hundred millions in value to the property Of our people. Its effects upon the public treasury are 110 less striking and satisfactory.

Its revenues, after paying the cost of its original construction, are rapidly reducing the debt incurred in its enlargement, and in "aid of other improvements. That the early eoieipletiwi of a channel which has yiehied these beneficial re-tilts, would injure the State or endanger iss liberties, is an apprehension condemned by experience, disowned by reason, and only to be regarded as the dismal phantasy of a sombre and distempered imagination, rejecting all grateful memories of the and disdaining all generous hopes of the future. It is now fifteen years since the work of enlargement was commenced. The main of the undertaking was to create a channel with sufficient capacity for boats of 150 tons burthen, by which producers and consumers will re neveu from about ouo-liad the present cost (excluding toli) of canal Towards the accomplishment of this design we have expended over sixteen millions of dollars. Nearly all the expensive structures have been completed for the passage of boa's of heavy tonnage; but this avails nothing towards the definite object of the improvement, until the lat mile of excavation is finished.

At the present rate of progress, from ten to fifteen years will by required to per feet the work. This tardy operation requires a full organization of officers and engineers, and is attended with a large increase of expanse, and a heavy loss of interest. In this condition of things the real if not the only question presented is. whether a work of such vast importance, admit ted by all to bo necessary, and upon which much has been done, shall be procrastinated from year to year until a generation shall have disappeared, and many of the benefits of the improvement have been surrendered to oompeting avenues of trade or shall the plan be prosecuted with vigor, and completed as other useful enterprises are carried forward in this age of advancement and achievement "i In considering the subject with reference to our future policy, it becomes important to form a correct estimate of the growing value and extent of the Western trade, and to keep in view the peculiar advantage of our geographical position. It depends mainly upon our own legislation whether the Erie Canal shall continue to be the Icinel outlet for the vast and fertile region stretching from the Lakes to the Mississippi.

If wise and liberal views shall guide our councils, we have tho ability to command, during all future time, the commerce of a territory larger than Ivurope, embracing several of the most prosperous States of the Union, which, though yet in their infancy, are advaociug beyond example in popu-lation and resources, and in the construction t-f internal communications which in effect are but an extension of our own. The commercial relations created between this State and its Western neighbors, by opening for them an easy channel of navigation from the Lakes to the seaboard, have yielded and must continue to confer reciprocal benefits upon both. In giving to them the advantage of cheap access to the Atlantic markeU, we enhance, the value of their soil and productions, while we acquire for our own citizens the profits of the carrying trade and the varied benefits which spring from a healthful and expanding commerce. In this con nection it should be remarked, that the increase of production from year to year in the Stales tributary to Lake Eric is larger than their entire surplus at the first opening of the Lrie Canal. The people of those States, so closely identified with us in interest and feeling, are not insensible to these advantages; and it is creditable to1 their intelligence, that they should look forward with anxious solicitude, as are assured they do, to the completion of the Erie Enlargement In the financial bearings the sub-e -t, we should remember that our Treasury do- Tives a noble reveuue from the Western trade, as an equivalent for the facilities of transit which this State has created.

The proportion of canal tolls derived from tonnage coming from or going beyond our borders, is steadily increasing. The amount collected in the year 1850, at Buffalo1 and 0 wego, on the productions of other States, was $1,013,631 58, to which should be added the amount received at the eastern offices on returns of merchandize. The receipts at the same ports for the present season exhibit a gratifying increase. Thus it will be perceived that a large! share of the means for the gradual payment of tho Statu Debt, as well as for completing our unfinished works, is to be furnished, not by our own.citizans, bat by neighboring communities, whose trade has been attracted by our liberal canal policy); and in connection with this view, a j'ust estimate of the increase in trade; and revenue which wjli result from tho Enlargement of the Erie and Oswego Canal must dispel all apprehensions of future embarrassment and Unless the calna lation of increased tonnage upou which the Kris Enlargement waa originally based shall proTO lo Michigan Central Railroad Line.

In the Legislative Assembly, last night, Mr. Merritt moved an address to the Queen, praying for the imposition on Ameriean products imported into England of the same rates of duty that other nations than the United Stafes pay. This is especially aimed at the levy on the products of British Colonies. The finance minister said, we must depend on ourselves and if we be driven to retaliate, the best plan would be to close our canals condi tioually, against American vessels." He pro posed to compensate for the loss of the canal tolls, by taking measures to increase immensely the trade of the St. Lawrence.

He believes that, by this means, he could entirely destroy the American trade. Every member who spoke, during a debate of several hours, was in lavor of some form 01 retaliation some proposing differential duties in favor of the St. Lawrence; others the abolition of customs, Ac. The debate was postponed for a fortnight, to await the result of the negociations with the American government. Last night, Mr.

Morrison introduced into the Legislative Assembly a bill to render the creation of any more rectories illegal, and to take from the government the power of presenting incumbents to the rectories aud parsonages already in existence. The government opposed the motion to bring in a bill for fixing tho time and place for the meeting of Parliament The Speaker ruled the motion out of order, and the House sustained the decision. A Railroad through the Arabian Desirt. The Viceroy of Egypt has sanctioned the project of a railroad from Alexandria by way of Cairo, to the Isthmus of Suez, and the work will be commenced without delay. With the most skillful European engineers at his command, and able at any time to summon one hundred thousand Arabs and Copts Ao the labor, the energetic and enter prising Ibrahim Pasha will not allow a long time to elapse before the whistle of the locomotive will wake the solitudes of Petra and.

Mount Sinai, scare the marauding Bedouin out of his wits, and render the journey from Alexandria to the Holy Land as easy and as rapid as the passage from Buffalo to New York. The traveler will start from the base of Cleopatra's Needle, reach Cairo in six hours, refresh himself at a mammoth depot in the midst of the "waste howling wilderness," and stand upon the ancient shores of tho Red Sea in two days after leaving the Delta of the Nile. A railroad through the scene of Israel's flight and Pharaoh's keen pursuit! through the regions, where the silence of death has reigned ever since, amid thundeririga aud lood elemental strife, the law was given from Mount Horeb, now for the first time in thousands of years to be disturbed by the clanking and roar of modern machinery 1 Here Job drove his numerous fh'icks to tho great marts of the South. Over this hallowed ground his cotemporary Moses led the murmuring and mutinous Hebrews to the Land of Promise. In this now drear solitude, the hand of cultivated architectural science scooped magnificent palaces out of the solid rock, and bid sumptuous mansions and temples, and mighty cities rise as its mandate.

lioxtun Transcript. Serious Damage to tite Dyke a.d Destruction oi- the Roau raou Island to the Illinois Shore. The present high water has done serious injury to the dyke, and almost entirely swept away the dirt road leading from the Bloody Island to the Illinois shore. Night before last it was discovered that the dirt embankment, upon hich the carriage way was constructed, had commenced giving way, but after some hour's labor with men and carts, the city engineer succeeded in stopping the break. Early yesterday morning, the water having rose to within a few inches of the top of the dyke, another and mure serious break occurred.

A portion of the stone abutment against which the road rested, fell up stream, and soon the entire road, from the Illinois shore, to within a short distance of the island, passed through the break. Serious apprehensions are entertained if the river should continue to rise, the stone embankment nifty ba thrown down, if notremoved from its present position, so as to cause heavy outlay in replacing it. In order to impart a more definite idea of the nature and enteni of the loss, it will be necessary to state that, in constructing this dyke and wall, a heavy stone abutment was first thrown across the river, between the island and shore, then a dirt embankment immediately above, and resting against the stone, being 100 feet wide at the base, and 'M feet at the top. This last work, built at a Cost of 20.000, has almost entirely disappeared, and the extent of the damage to the whole work will materially increase this sum. St.

It is so characteristic that there is no fear of a mistake. The ani mill was about -1 feet long, with a tail of 24 inches, Htinn- and larre at its base, and tapering. The bend the hind leijs, resting like elbows, are singularly characteristic'' of the Kangaroo, the diameter of the joint being two inches measuring outside of both is 5A inches wide the tail 3 inches over at its ba-e. It deep impress shows that the- animal hud used great force in its spring for another jump and as evidence of this force, we find a wave like ridge, 011 the slab behind, where the elbows had been placed. The body is small before, and no marks of fore feet are to be This is another striking peculiarity of the Kangaroo, which moves by successive jumps, rarely walking on all fours.

The broadest part of the figure behind is Hi inches. This discovery is highly important to geologists and students of natural history. Hartford Uourant. Ge(roe Thompson, M. P.

It is announced in the Liberator that this gentleman will return to England in the Steamer of the 17th, from Boston. It is also intimated that lie will resign his seat in the British Parliament and return hither in the Fall. We scarcely know whether Mr. Thompson considers himself as making a personal sacrifice in such a projected arrangement, or whether after all that he has uttered against this country he has still such an affection for it, that his inclina tion prompts turn to make it his home. In any event we nope tfiat he will cease his associa tions with the men who have so wantonlv used him to defame American clergymen and traduce American churches.

We have heard Mr. Thompson more than once. His rare gift of elo quence would be a mine of wealth and social el vation to him, would he but refrain from abuse of men as good and wise and patriotic as himself. aud would he but concede to others the purity of motives and liberty of opinion which be claims for himself.

i. Com. Adv. Ki carivE Slave Cask Johnson Discharged. Yesterday at 2 o'clock P.

an immense audi ence collected to hear tho final decision of Mr. Commissioner Meeker. The U. S. Court room was crowded to its utmost capacity, the stairway was completely blocked up, and some two or three hundred persons were crowded about the uoor, outside the bunding, unable to ootatn au- mission.

Ihe opinion 01 Mr. Meeker was very full, occupying about one hour in its delivery. Ihe following were the material points decided 1. That the record was invalid, because the tes timony of the witnesses was not set out therein the Commissioner stating that in his opinion, it was the intention of Congress to authorize trie Judtres cf the State Courts merely to make a re cord in the nature of a deposition, and not in the nature ef a judicial proceeding. 2.

That it was bad, because it did not show on its face that at the tame it was made the negro man therein described owed service aud labor that although it was stated that he escaped on the 4th of July, 1850, yet non constat but that he I micht returned before the maKingot the re cord and meanwhile been brought by his master to this State. In the Commissioners opinion, the record should absolutely negative any possibility of such construction. 3. That the negro in Court did not answer to the one described in the record and writ, the first being a black man five feet five inches high, and the description in the record being that of a copper colored man five feet eight inohee high.

No new canals are proposed. The aid of the State for the construction of railroads is no longer needed or solicited. Thus we perceive that after perfecting what has been commenced, there will be neither necessity or ex case for new enterprises at the cost of the Treasury, beyond the judicious application of the ample revenues which tho canals, when released from all encumbrance, will place at the disposal of our successors. Whether the State continues to possess those sovereign powers and faculties which are necessary to expedite the completion of the canals, without transcending the limits of the Constitution, is a question which demands your enlightened consideration. Assuming the necessity for action to be established, you are called upon to determine in what manner the object shall be attained.

In communicating my view, at the commencement of the annual -ssiou, I deemed it most becoming and respectful to submit this question to the superior wisdom of the Legislature; entertaining on my part au earnest desire to cooperate in any- practical measure which you should deem free from constitutional objection. Regarding the considerations in favor of a more efficient and vigorous progress as paramount and self-evident, I did not hesitate to recommend such an amendment of the Constitution as should confer the requisite authority, if in your judgment no judicious plan of action could be matured consistently with the financial provisions of that ims ru-meiit. Our first and highest obligation is to pre serve inviolate the principles of the organic law which we have sworn to support. Whatever dif-lervnecs of opinion may arise touching the interpretation of particular provisions, it should be our constant aim to give full effect to all its re quirements. No considerations of expediency or even of necessity can justify a departure from its true intent and spirit The financial provisions of the Constitution were intended not to defeat but to ensure the completion of the Erie Enlargement and the Black River and Genesee Valley Canals.

For nearly five years the works had been slis-pended. A in the Convention of 141), (Jetei'Uined that they should be resumed and finished. They dedicated the entire surplus Canal revenue to this object, alter making certain reservations for the payment of existing debt, and the support of Government. It is hardly conceivable that they would have refused to permit tho early accomplishment of an object for which they so carefully provided, if it could have been supposed that individuals would consent to furnish the necessary menus at once, on a simple assignment ol the surplus, with special conditions that the purchasers should receive tho transfer at their own risk, without recourse to the State in any contingency. Is it reasonable, is it to the re putaticn of men eminent for their wisdom and sagacity, to conclude that while requiring the performance of a work they nevertheless intended to deprive tho Legislature of tho power to em-ply the means which they placed at its in such manner as to execute 'the design in the most economical manner and in the shortest possible period While a pledge of the revenue, in the nature of a collateral security for the payment of monevs borrowed upon the general credit of the State, would clearly fall ithin the prohibition of Section VI.

Articlu 7, of the Cous.itut ior, it seems equally clear that an i.bsolute n-signiueut of tho surplus, at the risk of the holder, made for the purpose of obtaining funds in advance to perform the verv work for which suih surplus is. appropriated by the Constitution, must within the discretion of the This proposition is established by the arguments of able and eminent juri-ts who-e opinions have been heretofore submitted to our consideration. The constitutional power of the Logi--lature to authorise an assignment of the surplus, without recourse to the State 111 case of deficiency, with a view to realise the funds in advance for" the purpose of attaining nt once tho object to which the surplus is pledgvl by the Constitution, never appeared to me be doubtful. But it is proper for me to observe that in my annual mes-avre I refrained from recommending a re-ort to this mode from an apprehension that holders of capital might hesitate to invest their funds in a stock no obligation or guarantee by the State for the sufficiency of the 1 evv the payment ol'princ'pai ami interest in ca-e of deficieiirv. Vour attention was called to the objections hich to conflict with the feasibility of the plan.

These objections au 1 my apprehensions have been obviated in the well matured provisions of the bill now pending before the Senate, and by relia ble assurances thnt capitalists stand readv to pur-chase the proposed revenue certificates on terms ivorable to the State. The steady increase of Cansil tolls for years past, and the constant growth of 'the Western States, from which a similar progress mav be anticipated in future, seem to have inspired a firm confidence in the sufficiency of the revenues, even aniMig those who are least inclined to bo credulous upon such subjects. On this point it is satis. i I'actorv to observe, that notwithstanding the re cent reduction of 25 per cent in the rates on flour ami heat, the amount of tolls received for the six weeks of navigation the present season wa- -fT 25, being an increase of Toi over the corresponding period of la-t vear. Nor need there be any apprehension that the Canal revenues will be diminished, after the completion of the enlargement, by the competition of railroads: it having been demonstrated that those bulky commodities from.

which the hirge-t amount of is derived, can bo Conveyed at a less cost by the Canal than by any other artificial mode of transportation. The enlargement of the Oswego Canal is a subject which demands your early and favorable consideration. It is of the utmost importance to (he public interests that this improvement should be accomplished simultaneously with the enlargement of the Erie Canal, in order that the two main channels of transportation communicating with the Lakes may be placed on a footing of equality in respect to Canal boats of the largest capacity. Instead of viewing the Erie and Oswego Canals, as coufiicting and hostile interests, I cannot but regard them fts essential parts of a wise and harmonious system of internal navigation, both having-equal claims upon the favor of the State, and being equally necessary to attract the trade of the Western States and the Province of Canada to our Commercial Emporium. Partial provision was made for the improvement of the Oswego canal by the Legislature of 1S47, by appropriating $100,000 of Bank Fund Stock winch belonged to the Canal Fund nt the adoption of the Constitution in 1846.

Although no portion of the Canal revenue is applicable to this object, no objection is perceived to a direct loan of the amount required for the completion of the work under the loth SeCjJioU of tho financial article: It affords me sincere satisfaction to be enabled lo congratulate you on tho final completion of the New York and Erie Railroad. This stupendous work, after receiving an inapuUe from the partial aid of the State, has been consummated by ttie matchless energy and unfailing perseverance of a small portion of our citizens, acting in concert and with a determination to surmount all obstacles which seemed for years to be invincible. They have executed their design ut a cost of overtwen- ty millions of dollars, being more than twice the amount now required by the State to finish the enlargement of the Erie Canal. The completion of this great highway cannot fail to confer lasting benefits upon the people of tho southern tier of counties, whose position had long excluded them from, an equal participation in our system of internal improvements. It adds another link to the goldeu chain which unites New York to the States of the North West by the voluntary ties of reciprocal commerce, mutual interest and fraternal attachment.

It should be our constant aim to5 secure the trade of these vast communities beyond us. This prize is to be won, not by one route or channel monopolizing the whole, but by a generous competition, cheapening transportation, and presenting those varied facilities and inducements which will give permanence to our commercial relations with our neighbors, making them alike beneficial to both. A broad and liberal view of the subject must satisfy all unprejudiced minds that the supposed conflict of interest between our canals and railroads is more apparent than real. Eaeh mode of communication will have its appropriate labor to perform, and in their efforts to secure the, traffic to which they are adapted, they must contri bute in no small degree to the success of each other. There is no occasion to apprehend that the improved means which we may supply for the convenience of the Western trade and travel will outstrip the constant increase of production and business between the Lakes and the Mississippi.
