PHILOSOPHICAL APPARATUS.

Honorary mention is due to Nunns, Clarke & Co. of New York, for a square Piano, the cabinet work of which is of Maple. Of the qualities of this Instrument the judges remark that it is so nearly equal to that made by Mr. Loud, that they experienced difficulty in deciding between them.

Honorary mention is due to E. N. Scherr, of Phila delphia, for a square Piano, which was adjudged to be the best instrument of the kind presented at the exhibition. It is however said to possess an advantage over the other, from the fact that the treble part was three stringed.

FINE ARTS..

31. An extra premium is due to William J. Mullen, of Philadelphia, for two gold Watch Dials. These, which are said to be the first successful attempt to compete with foreigners in this branch of the mechanic arts, are highly deserving of notice, for beauty of workmanship, chasteness of design, and elaborate finish.

32. An extra premium is due to Asa Spencer, of Philadelphia, for specimens of Metal Ruling: these splendid imitations give to a flat surface an appearance of all the relief possessed by the best medals, and in so perfect a manner, as not to be distinguished from them, without the nicest scrutiny.

33. Premium No. 98 is due to S. R. Mason, of Philadelphia, for the best perspective drawing of Machinery: the judges speak of this in terms of high commendation, both for the faithfulness of the design, and the excellence of the execution.

Honorary mention is due to Wm. D. Parrish, of Philadelphia, for a perspective drawing of an Electrical Machine. A very beautiful performance, which reflects credit on the artist.

Honorary mention is due to William Newlan, of Philadelphia, for specimens of Mould Carving, which exhibit excellent workmanship, and must prove highly acceptable to all concerned in ornamental casting.

FANCY ARTICLES.

Honorary mention is due to John Yard, jun. of Philaadelphia, for No. 428,a case of Fancy Pearl Work: the judges recommend these articles to particular notice, for the skill displayed in a new branch of manufacture, and the comparatively low price for which the articles exhibited are sold.

Honorary mention is due to the Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, Philadelphia, for Nos. 579 and 580,six Baskets and one Guard Chain: these are consid. ed worthy of notice from their intrinsic merit, and still more so, from the proof they afford of the great value of the Benevolent Institution, under whose auspices they have been sent to the exhibition.

Honorary mention is due to the United Society of Shakers, of New Lebanon, New York, for a variety of useful articles, manufactured by them, and deposited by Gideon Cox.

Premiums were offered for several articles, of which models and specimens were exhibited, but as they require more time to test their utility, than has elapsed since the exhibition, the committee have omitted to enumerate them, but will submit a separate report on those subjects, so soon as the judges shall have reported

to them.

From the great extent of the catalogue of the exhibition, the committee are reluctantly compelled to omit mentioning in their report, many valuable and interesting articles which enriched the collection; but as the reports of the judges will probably be published, which in many instances treat of the articles in detail, and speak

of them with justice and candor, it is believed that a more particular report from this committee would be unnecessary.

The medals which are recommended by the committee to be awarded by the Board, they believe can be

procured, without difficulty, in time to be distributed to the successful competitors, at the delivery of an address for which the Board have made arrangements.

In closing their report, the committee would do injustice to their own feelings, were they to omit to mention the great obligations, which they, in common with the Institute, are under to the numerous friends who so promptly responded to their request, to act in conjunction with them, as a committee of arrangement, their attention to the arrangement of the rooms, and the manner in which the goods were displayed, deserve com mendation and thanks.

To the gentlemen who undertook the delicate and difficult task of Judges, the committee feel themselves also under great obligations; the labour bestowed in their examination of the articles, and the impartiality of the decisions in relation to their merits, were highly creditable to the different committees.

The depositors of goods on this occasion, have come
forward with a spirit worthy of our highest praise; the
considerable expense incurred in many cases, in sending
their productions to the exhibition, will, your commit-
tee trust, be more than compensated, by the good ef
fect produced on the public mind by the rich display
of the manufactures of our country,which such co-ope-
ration alone enabled the Institute to furnish,

PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCILS.

SELECT COUNCIL.

Thursday evening, Nov. 21. The Select Council concurred with some amendments

in the resolution received at the last meeting, from Common Council, authorizing, the election of trustees of the Wills' Hospital.

Memorials for lighting the city with gas, presented by sundry members, were received and referred to the Gas Committee.

Mr. Lewis offered the annexed resolution, after a preamble expressive of the benefits of gas lighting over the present mode-which was laid on the table.

"Resolved, That the Mayor of the city be authorized to draw his warrant on the city Treasurer, upon the requisition of the Gas Committee, for such sum as may be required by the said Committee, to meet the expenses to be incurred under this resolution."

COMMON COUNCIL.

Dr. Huston presented a petition, signed by a number of respectable citizens, praying Councils to send an agent to Europe, for the purpose of making full inquiry into the subject of Gas, its advantages and disadvantages, &c. Referred to the Committee on Gas.

Petitions in favor of lighting the city with Gas, were presented by Messrs Yarnall, Firth, Toland, Hutchinson, Warner, McMullin, Darragh, Wright, Smith, Robbins, Chandler, Lancaster, Gilder, and Kirk, amounting Dr. Huston made some remarks in opposition to the in all to 45 petitions, and signed by 1920 citizens.

He said he yielded to no man in sentiments ferred to the Committee on Gas. of respect and esteem for Mr. Clay; he had admired him as a statesman, and a man of extraordinary talent, from his youth upward; he still admired him, and would be as prompt as any one in showing him every possible attention. He considered, however, that to adopt this resolution, would be setting a bad precedent; it would be an example of which injudicious use might be made other public men, less deserving, in visiting our city, might expect similar attentions, and if withheld, they would feel themselves slighted. There would be also a difference of opinion, as regards the worth of distinguished men, and the propriety of offering official marks of respect, such as were then suggested. Dr. H. remarked that it was proposed to receive Mr. Clay, not as a Senator or public officer, but simply as a citizen. The respect paid to him ought to come sponta

Mr. Gilder presented a memorial from Mr. C. Wesner, stating that he had discovered a method by which summer strained oil may be made to burn as freely as winter strained, in the winter season, and asking Councils to appoint a committee to confer with him on the subject. Laid on the table.

Mr. Kirk presented a petition for grading Clay street, running from Beach street to the river Schuylkill, which was referred to the Paving Committee.

Mr. Kirk presented a petition praying for the intro-neously from the people. Councils, as an official body, duction of the Schuylkill water in the section of the city south of Chesnut and west of Schuylkill Front street. Referred to the Watering Committee.

Mr. Chandler, from the Committee to whom had been re-committed the bill for establishing an effective system of Police, reported the same with amendments. The committee have reduced the number of beats from 120 to 100, and the number of police men from 240 to 200. It was stated that by the alteration, the expense of the whole system will be diminished to about $84,000, or a sum about double the cost of the present system.

were not called upon to pay him official respect, when he appeared in his private capacity. Dr. H. acted in this manner as a member of Councils-not for himself, but for his constituents. The question was not one of personal feeling, and his objections arose not from hostility to the man-whom it was proposed to honor-he had not backslided—but he opposed the resolution simply because he considered any official action on the subject by Councils inexpedient.

Mr. Chandler replied, in a speech of some length, delivered with much force and feeling. He contended that precedent had nothing to do with the matter. If The bill was called up for discussion, and supported the measure were right in itself, it ought to be adoptby Mr. Chandler, who offered some remarks, showing ed-if wrong it ought to be rejected. It had nothing the inefficiency of the present system, and the great ad to do with any thing else but the case in hand. If other vantages which would arise from the adoption of the citizens, equally distinguished, and possessing equal one then proposed-advantages of far greater import: claims upon our respect, should hereafter visit us, the ance than the increase of expense which they would propriety of measures of this kind, would then, and not involve. Dr. Huston opposed the bill, by contending till then, be a proper subject of discussion. We desire that the proposed system involved too great an expense in this instance, said Mr. C., to do honor to a statesman -that the system i'self was imperfect, not fully carried who has always supported Pennsylvania principlesout, and involved a labor and fatigue to the police men, who is known and admired throughout the whole counwhich were entirely too great for human nature to bear.try, as a distinguished advocate of Liberty-who has He believed the present system of guarding the city very inefficient, but alleged that it might be greatly im proved with but little trouble.

The further consideration of the bill was then postponed.

Mr. Chandler, from the Committee on Washington square, to whom had been referred a communication from the Washington Monument Committee, on the subject of a plan for a Monument, designed by Mr Strickland, reported in favor thereof, and recommended its adoption by Councils. The cost of the Monument is estimated at $75,000. Laid on the table.

Mr. Chandler offered a resolution, instructing the Paving Committee to inquire into the expediency of grading the streets in the western part of the city, with a view of using the earth that may be taken therefrom. Adopted.

Mr. Chandler offered the following preamble and resolution:

Whereas, as it is understood that the Hon HENDY CLAY, is about to visit this city, and whereas, it is con

done the country many important public services, who in contending for the rights and interests of his fellow citizens, has ever been foremost in battle. Such a man as Mr. Clay, in Rome, would have been immortalized, He stands higher for good, than any distinguished Roman ever did for greatness. Mr. C. could see no impropriety in the measures proposed. Upon Mr. C.'s arrival in New York and Albany, the city authorities had been prompt in showing him every respect, and surely the authorities of Philadelphia ought not to be behind them.

After some remarks by Dr. Huston, in reply, the question was taken, and the preamble and resolution unanimously adopted. The President appointed the following Committee, Messrs. Chandler, Warner, and Firth. Select Council appointed Messrs. Eyre, Lewis, and McCreedy.
