In the House of Representatives, Franklin Pierce was elected Speaker, having 205 votes of 208. James Clark was chosen Clerk, and Horace Chase, Assistant Clerk. The whole number of votes legally returned for Governor was 39,233; of which Governor Dinsmoor had 24,167, and was re-elected. Ichabod Bartlett had 14,920, and there were 146 scattered on the day of the general election, (so called.) It is understood the usual military parade and election sermon were dispensed with. On Thursday, the Governor communicated, by Message, a partial exposition of the affairs of the State. The Message states that it will be necessary, under existing laws, for the Legislature again to assemble in the autumn, to determine the choice of Electors of President and Vice President of the United States. It was therefore suggested that the session might have a speedy termination. MASSACHUSETTS. ANNIVERSARIES.

At a meeting of Farmers, Manufacturers, and Mechanics, held at Concord, on the 13th of June, sundry resolutions were adopted, remonstrating against a relinquishment of the protective system. In the preamble to these resolutions it is stated that, in the county of Middlesex, the cotton manufacture employs $3,129,000 capital, vested in real estate, and machinery; consumes 6,913,880 pounds of cotton; produces annually 20,378,849 yards cloth; employs 3896 hands; pays in wages $731,751. In the same county the woollen manufac ture employs $394,999 capital, vested in real estate and machinery; consumes 899,000 pounds wool; produces annually 849,300 yards woollen cloth, flannels and carpeting, employs 653 hands; and pays in wages $152,041. The manufactures of leather, boots, shoes, hats, pa per, glass, sheet lead, lead pipe, iron, starch, gunpowder, soap, candles, drugs, oil vitriol, and other acids, barilla and other chemicals, used in the county by bleachers, dyers, calico-printers, soapboilers, and other artizans, are more extensive than in any other section of our country of equal extent, employing in the aggregate $1,050,255 capital, vested in real estate, machinery, tools, &c. and producing manufactured articles of the annual value of $3,565,613.* Census of Lowell. A census of this place was taken on the first of June by order of the town, which exhibited the following result: White Males under 10 years of age, 66 from 10 to 20 703 563 It will be seen by this enumeration that the whole population on the first of June was 10,254; of which 5955 are females. By the enumeration in January 1828, there were 3532; of which 2190 were females. By the census of June 12, 1830, there were 6477; of which 4085 were females. It will be seen that the increase from January, 1828, to June, 1830, * Since the resolutions referred to were published, a gentleman concerned in the manufac tories at Lowell, has informed the editors that the statement here given falls far below the truth, and has given the following as a corrected statement. The whole capital invested is $6,250,000giving employment to nearly 4000 hands, who receive wages to the amount of $750,000, and make 22,000,000 yards of cloth, using 7,000,000 pounds of cotton annually. It is probable that an accurate statement of the condition of other branches of manufacture would also be found greatly to exceed the amount stated in the preamble mentioned above. being one year and five months, was 2945; and from June, 1830 to June, 1832, 3777. The proportion of females is not so great as by the former census. RHODE-ISLAND. CITY OF PROVIDENCE. The organization of the City Government of Providence took place at the Court House on the second Monday of June. The oaths of office were administered to the Mayor and Aldermen by the President of the Town-Council, and by the Mayor to the members of the Common Council. Richard M. Field, late Town Clerk, was unanimously chosen City Clerk. The Mayor delivered his Inaugural Address in the presence of a large audience. He spoke of the newly adopted form, as one not tending to impair the rights of the people, and stated the object in obtaining the Charter to have been, not to obtain more power, but to administer the power already possessed with more prudence, economy, and energy. A great part of the Address consisted of an appropriate and lucid exposition of the powers and duties of the new officers. After the Address, the Mayor and Aldermen retired to the Senate Chamber, and the Common Council was organized by the appointment of Mr. George Baker, President, and Mr. Thomas B. Fenner, Clerk. PENNSYLVANIA. The Legislature of this state recently adopted the following Resolutions-the House of Representatives, unanimously; the Senate 20 to 12. Resolved, &c. That we view with the most serious apprehension any attempt to lessen the restrictions upon the importation of any articles of foreign manufacture, or production, which may compete with articles of similar growth, production, or manufactures of the United States. That a reduction of duties upon articles, the like of which are neither manufactured or produced in the United States, or which does not materially affect the industry of the country, would meet the approbation of our constituents. That the People of Pennsylvania never can consent to an abandonment of the Protective System. That if a reduction of the revenue becomes necessary, we should prefer a prohibition of the introduction of articles of foreign fabric and production, the like of which we are successfully manufacturing and producing, to any reduction upon protected articles which we can produce and manufacture as cheaply and as good amongst ourselves. That we view the American System, as a whole, which requires the united and concentrated operation of its friends against all attempts to attack it in detail, and that no steps should be taken to preserve one portion of it at the expense of another. That the confidence of one interest in the aid and fellowship of another, is the true shield of safety of the friends of the protected industry, and that such confidence should be cultivated and relied on throughout the union. That connected as the prosperity of agriculture and manufactures are with the successful financial operations and sound currency of the country, we view the speedy re-chartering of the Bank of the United States as of vital importance to the public welfare. That the Governor be requested to transmit these resolutions to our representatives in Congress, to be laid before their respective bodies. OHIO. CINCINNATI COLLEGE. The Trustees of Cincinnati College have published an Address to the people of Ohio, from which we collect the following facts and statements : The institution, known as the "Cincinnati College," began, as a common school, organized on the Lancasterian plan, in connexion with a grammar school, in the year 1814, under the name of the "Cincinnati Lancaster Seminary." In 1819, it was incorporated as a college, under its present title, with the understanding, that the preparatory schools were still to be kept up. The endowment of the College, existed in a subscription, liberal, indeed, when it is considered that it emanated from the enterprise of a few citizens of the city. But auspicious as this subscription was to the future prospects of the establishment, the sanguine hopes which were at first cherished by it were destroyed by the adverse circumstances which soon after pervaded Cincinnati and the west generally. Sufficient, however, was secured to finish the building, and, with subsequent rents, to pay all claims against the corporation. College classes were organized, with several professors, and the institution, under a variety of aspects, continued to exist until the year 1827, when, from the want of pecuniary means, all operations were discontinued; the preparatory schools, which had also been sustained, ceased at the same time; and the edifice itself, or as much of it as was practicable, was rented out. The receipts have not been regular, and by no means sufficient to keep the building in repair. Dilapidations, always great in proportion to the non-occupation of so large a house, have taken place; and this pile, founded under flattering auspices, presents now a spectacle in strong contrast with the other public buildings of the city. It is thought practicable by the Board of Trustees, in addition to what schools are to be carried on in the College, to create certain professorships or lecture ships, on such different branches of science as may be found compatible with their means, with public taste, and the public wishes. It is designed to make most of these lectures accessible to the great mass of population, and so to arrange them, as to render them valuable for the practical purposes of every class of society. The hope is cherished, that the Mechanics Institute, the Lyceum, and the public library may be induced to connect their exertions with the college. It is felt to be bad policy, in such a society as ours, to divide and ramify public institutions, having the same great object in view. To produce proper effect, exertion ought to be concentrated. The foundations of good libraries are already laid in the institutions before mentioned. When brought together, they will even now do credit to the city. The liberality of an individual has placed that valuable institution, the Mechanics Institute, in possession of an excellent philosophical apparatus; public attention is awake, and much may be expected from public and private liberality, to associations in a united attitude, which might be looked for in vain when in a state of separation. From an estimate furnished, it is thought that about three thousand dollars will cover the requisite repairs, including such an alteration of the front, as will render it ornamental to the city. This amount it is believed can be raised without difficulty, if the benefits likely to flow from its application be properly appreciated. Individuals stand ready and pledged, to enter on the important duties of instruction; some, where expense and trouble are involved, with no expectation of compensation but from their own exertions; others, looking to the good they may do, as a sufficient reward for the services they may render. With these prospects and facilities of creating one great Institution, in which shall centre the different Literary and Scientific Associations of Cincinnati, the Trustees cannot think it possible that such an edifice as the College will be longer suffered to attract attention by its unseemly aspect. With sanguine hopes of success, the Board now appeal to their fellow citizens, and ask them for such contributions as their several means may justify, and as the importance of the object merits. Education. There is a very interesting and valuable institution for the education of school teachers at Marietta, Ohio, which was established about two years since, and is capable of being ren |
