Prom the National Intelligencer, 28th ult. AMERICAN AWARDS AT THB WORLD’S INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION IN (^LONDON. Wi have the pleasure to-day of communicat ing to our readers and the public, a list of the “ Awards made by the Royal Commissioners to the American Contributors to the Industrial Exhibition at London.” This interesting re port was received from the agent, Mr. Riddle, by the steamer which arrived at New York on Sunday, and through the politeness of Mr. Kennedy, Secretary of the Central Committee, we are enabled thus promptly to make it public. London, October 13,1851. HSir : I beg leave to hand you my report from the Great Exhibition. The commission with which I was honored by the Executive Com mittee of the Central Authority of the United States, bears date the of January, 1851. I arrived in London, in pursuance of the in structions you had given me, on the 27th of March. The contributions shipped from our country in tbe St. Lawrence had been deposit ed in the building a few days before, and other contributions freighted by private vessels, were daily arriving. No preparation of tbe division allotted to our countrymen had been made be yond that of mere shelter for themselves and their goods. In common with other foreign nations, it was expected that all expenses ne cessary for properly arranging and displaying our contributions to the Exhibition, and for securing care and safety to them while it should continue, were to be borne by ourselves. Nei ther counters, tables, fixtures, nor platforms; neither coverings, standards, railings, nor deco rations, had been provided. Our goods were iu the building under the seals of the customs ; our contributors were many of them present, anxious for seme step to be taken which would secure to them the purpose for which they had crossed the ocean ; our neighbors, the French, Russians, and inhabitants of the different coun tries of the Zoll-Verein, were busily engaged in forwarding the work within their respective divisions : and the Executive Committee of tbe Royal Commission were urging speed upon all foreigners, in order that every thing should be in readiness on the day of opeuing, the Ist of May. Under these circumstances, after re ceiving the advice of the American Minister, and with the full approbation of the contribu tors, expressed in a formal resolution at a public meeting, I negotiated a loan from George Peabody, Esq., an American mer chant residing iu London, for fifteen thous and dollars. The whole expenses to which the Commission from the United States has been aubjected I herewith subjoin. No report of the Great Exhibition can do it full justice. No aggregate of reports, though that aggregate should comprise the reports of every local commissioner to the body which appointed him, of every foreign commissioner to his Government, of every savant iu Europe to the society which furnished his credentials, of the juries to the council of chairmen, of these latter to the executive committee of tho execu tive committee to the royal commissioners, and associations, agricultural societies, and Titerary institutions, by the ablest men living, could, alto gether though such a volume would contain an extraordinary amount of useful information, convey any adequate idea of the almost exhaust less resources of this storehouse of the world’s industrial products. Least of all can this report, prepared in the midst of constant claims, the most adverse to scientific investigation, upon my time and thoughts, present to you any true exponent of what tho Great Exhibition really was. Indeed, it does net claim to be any thing more than a synopsis of such information as could be gathered from certain portions of the Exhibition, in which, it seemed to me, my coun trymen would be most interested. It is to be regretted that the interest in the Great Exhibition did not take an earlier hold of public sentiment in our country. Os what we tlid send—which, according to the testimony of every visitor from the United States, was n j adequate representation of our industrial con dition—we stood second to no one ofthethree and-thirty nations assembled there, either in articles of utility, labor-saving inventions, or perfect machinery. What might we not have accomplished had every branch of labor, and every variety of interest over our widespread country, been fitly represented ? The contri butors from every other country, without a solitary exception, came to the Exhibition under Governmental patronage. Every facility for preparation had been given them at home; every stimulus to excellence in their manufac tures which profit and public honor and rivalry could give had been applied; every expense for outfit, transit, and the most favorable exhi bition of their goods within the palace, had been paid from the public purse; and in many cases the favor of the Government towards the most forward of iu exhibiters had amounted to an absojute bonus on the articles transmitted. And yet, in the face of these odds, according to the reports of the Jurors of Awards, to the testimo ny of English journals for tho last six weeks of the Exhibition, and to universal opinion every where expressed, there was no division in tho foreign department of the building from which had been taken for the benefitof Great Britain and Continental Europe so much that was novel, ingenious, and practical in its application to the useful arts, as from that in which were dis played the contributions from the United States. In iu reflex influence upon our industrial condition, I regard the exhibition as boing far from useless. Great numbers of our people have not congregated iu London during the past season in vain. Unlike what has been the fact heretofore, the majority who visited England were practical men. Our agricultu risU were there to compare the farm implements which we use, with those in use iu Europe ; to study the processes by which the waste moors of England have been made a garden; to test the experiments and learn the resulU of chemical agriculture; and to introduce at home that which had proved iUelf pre-eminently success ful abroad. Our mechanics have not studied in vain the state and products of mechanical skill as they were erhibited in that great ware house of the world; and while they have had no occasion to be ashamed of the show from their own workshops—save in paucity of specimens —they have learned much to encourage and improve their industry at home. Our manu facturers have compared processes of labor, in vestigated new introductions in machinery, familiarized themselves with recent inventions, learned much in designs and a higher style of patterns, and prepared themselves batter for future competition in the market with foreign fabrics It would not perhaps be safe to say that, to every practical or scientific man a month spent at the Great Exhibition was a source of more improvement at large than a year of foreign travel would hayebeeu; but it is safe and quite within the bounds of ftict to assort, that, as an agricultural, mechanical, and manufacturing people, we have gained more stimulus that will be felt, and more knowledge that will be useful, and more soience that will be applied, in our onward industrial progress, irom what has been seen the last six months iu London, than we should have attained other-I wise in twice that number of years Agreeably to announcement in iny last letter, I herewith enclose you the list of American awards. As I have not received any reply from you up to this date of the intention of the Secretary of the Navy to send for the United States goods, I presume, in case of receiving no instructions to this effect, when the goods are ready for shipment, I must, on my own responsibility, charter a vessel for this pu rpooe; a result which I yet hope will not be imposed upon me. In taking my leave of the Executive Com mittee, I desire to express, through you, nsy grateful acknowledgments to them for their countenance, encouragement, and support. I also wish to make honorable mention of my secretary, N. S. Dodge, Esq. The valua ble assistance he has rendered me and the American, contributors is eminently worthy of your notice. During my tempo/ary absence m the United States I appointed him acting Commissioner, and [ need hardly say I was not missed, such was the able manner in which he conducted the business of our department, and the untiring zeal he evinced to bring our con tributions fairly before the juries of awards. To him am I likewise indebted for the princi pal elements of my report. I would also desire to express my sincere ac knowledgments to each member of the Execu tive Committee of the Royal Commissioners for the kindness, courtesy, and attention I have received at their hands. And uow, in conclusion, I would say, that if I have discharged my duties acceptably to the committee I represent, to the American con tributors and my friends, my highest ambition is obtained, my earnest wish accomplished. lave the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Epw’b Riddle.

The World’s Fair at London was finally closed on the 15th inst., having been closed to the public several days previous. Notwith standing the great space devoted to the letter of Mr. Riddle and the American awards we cannot omit the following account given by the London Timet of the closing scene: As the day wore en, a remarkable concentra tion of people in the nave began to be discern ible. The side avenues and courts were de serted, and from end to end of the building nothing was to be seen but a great sea of hu man beings filling up the centre, and agitated by a thousand different currents of curiosity, which kept the mass in motion without progress Time passed, and the circulation in tbe transept became rather impeded. The people seemed to be taking up their position there, and the galleries, as far as the eye could reach, were oc cupied by spectators, who, >s they gazed on the vast assemblage beneath, evidently appear ed to expect that seme public demonstration was about to be made. The organs, which had been played constant ly during the eaily part of the day, were now silent, and even that* wonderful man Herr Som mer, with his still more wonderful instrument, sent forth no longer those astonishing volumes of sound which have rendered him, par tx'el lencr, the trumpeter of the Exhibition No thing was to be neard but that strange and mys terious hum of voices which, rising from all large assemblages, is imposing, hut which, in the Crystal Palace, swelling upward from mere than fifty thousand people, loaves an impres sion upon the mind not soon to lie forgotten. It was drawing near five o’clock, the whole nave east and west, the area of the transept, and the galleries, might be seen packed with a dense mass of black hats, through which at in tervals, a struggling female bonnet emerged here and there into light. The vast multitude had now become sta tionary , and were evidently awaiting, in silent but intense excitement, the last act of a great event, immortal in the annals of the nineten'.h century. It was a solemn and affecting sceue, such as has rarely been witnessed, and for which an opportunity cannot toon again arise. Words cannot do it justice, and fall utterly to convey the mystery and the grandeur thus embodied to the eye. Let the reader fancy what it must have been to com prehend with one glance fifty thousand people assembled under one roof in a fairy palace, with walls of iron and glass, the strongest ant the most fragile material happily and splendidly combined. Let him. if he can, picture to him i^ifpcASa^cSfe munity and the remotest corners of the g ohe. Let him tax his imagination to the uttermost, and still beyond the material magnificence of the spectacle presented to him—let him remember that the stream of life on which he looks dowe contains in it the intellect and the heart of the greatest metropolis in the most powerful em pire in the world —that strong feelings such as rarely find utterance in a form so sublime, are about to find expression from that multi tude, and that in heathen times, even when liberty was still a new power upon the earth, the voice of the people was held to be the voice of God. Not only the days but the minutes of the Great Exhibition were numbered, and the first sign of its dissolution was given by Osier’s crystal fountain. Just befere five o’clock struck, the feathery jet of water from Osier’s crystal fountain suddenly ceased,and the silence of the vast assemblage became deeper auc more intense. The moment at last came. Mr. Bradshaw appeared et the west corner of the transept gallery on the south side, bearing a large red flag in his hand. This he displayed as the deck struck, and instantly all the organs in the building were hurling into the air the well known notes ol the national anthem. At the same moment the assembled multitude un covered ; and those who saw this act of loyalty from an advantageous position will long re member the effect which it produced upon their minds Where just before nothing wss visible but a mass of black hats stretching ayvay unti lost in the distance, immediately there appear ed a greatsea of upturned animated faces, and to the seleiun silence of expectancy suc ceeded a volume of sound in which the voices of the people were heartily joined. As soon as the anthem had closed, there arose such cheers as Englishmen alone know how te give. These were continued for several minutes, aud when the last of them died away,there passed over the entire building, and with an effect truly sublime, a tremendous rolling sound, like that of thunder, caused by thousands of leet stamping their loyalty upon the boarded ffoors. Under this demonstration every part of the edifice trembled, and. ns it swept from west to east many an eye was raised with anxiety to the girders and pillars, which in long perspective were stretched out before them. And new the time had arrived for the death peal of the exhi bition to be rung out. Some oue hung out from the gallery of the transept apiece of cal ico, on which waa inscribed the well-known passage from Shakspear s Tempest, Ac.; “ Our revels now are ended ; these our actors As I foretell you, were all spirits, and 1 Are melted into sir, into thin air t And, like the (useless fabric of this vision Tbs cloud-clapped towers, the gorgeous palaces. The solemn temple*, the great globe itself Tea, all which it inherit, shall dusolro, Anl, like this nniubitantial [ageant faded Leave not a rack behind. ’ A minute ortwo was allowed to elapse before the fatal signal was given, and during this brief interval the assemblage [remained silent and motionless. At last it came, and a perfect storm ol bell peals broke over the building. The committee seemed to have collected all their strength for a last effort in this department of their duties, and wo do hope that to the other statistics of the great undertaking now closed may at once be added the number of tympa nums broken on the final day. Ireland has sent the most powerful bells to the Exhibition but these resources, added to the bells of all nations, wero deemed insufficient, and China had to come to the rescue with her gongs and India to strike up some fine savage notes from her tom-toms, before the signs of an intention to depart were unmistakably manifested. The concourse of people for a loug time remained massed together, as if no power could separate or fuso them; but at last small currents aud ripples of human beings might be seen setting toward the exit-doors, and these gradually in creased in volume aud rapidity as the shades •f evening fell. One by one the gus lamps were lighted, aud the building, divided between the empire of day and night, assumed an aspect curiously in harmony with its defunct character. The crowds flowed out faster every minute, and first the western and then the eastern por tions of the nave began to show vacant spaces. In the mean time the ringing of the bells was Occasionally suspended, aud in the intervals ■earty cheers were given for Prince Albert, tor The Prince of Wales, for Mr. Paxton, for Mr. Fox, for the exhibitors, and upon various other grounds. An attempt, too, was made by some vocalists to get up a musical performance, but their efforts were instantly drowned by the re vived energies of the ringers. Some one pro posed a cheer for Kossuth, but it met with no ■espouse, except some derisive laughter. The fcalleries and the eastern and western naves had Bow been completely cleared, but a deuse body Mtill clung round the crystal fountain, many filling bottles with water from it as a memento, and others struggling in vain to approach it for that purpose. The police and the sappers ap peared on the scene, first in small knots, and then, when they had moved the people on a lit tle, in extended line. By gently pressing on them they at last induced them to* go, but it was dark and half past 6 o’clock before the building was completely cleared, and the bells finally ceased tolling. The Executive Committee, aud the chief members of their staff, met in the transept when it was all over, and many and hearty were the congratulations which they exchanged on the happy termination of their brilliant labors. It is rarely, indeed, that a body of men have as sembled at the close of any undertaking with more legitimate ground for feeling pleasure and satisfaction. The Great Exhibition has been mainly the work of their hands, and its trium phant suacess is naturally rtgarded by them as their highest reward. Even the sappers parti cipated in the gratification which the event of Saturday inspired, and before the building was left to silence and solitude they made its dim and shadowy interior ring with three hearty cheers for the Queen.

Wx had the pleasure of being present at this great exhibition at Maeon, on Wednesday and Thursday last, and it was truly a great one; whether we view it in reference te the variety, or number of articles exhibited, or the concourse of persona present. la the Stook department, the number and quality was iodeed fine. Our enterprising cit ; zens, Messrs. R. Peters, J. V. Jones, of DeKalb, and J. B. Jones, of Barke, made a fine display in Cattle. The Poultry department, we venture to say. has never been cq tailed in the South, and probably never surpassed in the North. We conversed with several gentlemen who had frequently attended Noithern Fairs, aud they assured us that they had never seen it equalled. Id this department, our friends Rermond, of Atlanta, Collins, of Macon, and Dr. Uattey, of Rome, were the principal contributors. The exhibition of Machinery was indeed fine, particularly Engines. There were three fine Engines on the ground—one of them from Montgomery, Alabatni, made by Gi>- drat Sc Co.,which for high and beauti ul finish surpassed any of the k : nd we ever saw. But it was the Ladies’ department that at tracted the meat attention and called forth the highest encomiums. It certainly was far au in the South, and could' not be excelled any where. We were pleased to see eo many inventions in Agricultural Implement. This shows that our people are studying out the process of hew to “ make ,wo blades of grass grow where only ono grew before ” A fall and detailed descrip tion of which, together with the premiums awarded, will be given by our correspondent in a few days. A to the vast concourse in alien dance, which was made up of cit zens of South Carol.na, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alaba ma and Mississippi, and variously estimated on Thursday, the day we left, at twelve to fifteen thousand. Tha receipts at the ga.e up to Thors Jay evaniDg bad reached over three thousand dol lars at twenty-five cents admittance, and the committee expected over si,ooo more from members of the Association and additional visitors. The annual address of Judge Andrews, was,in consequence of the rain on Wednesday, delivered on 'lhursday, which we regret we did not hear—as it was spoken of as a most practical aud masterly production. Indeed, just such an one as every roan familiar with his practical manner of treating all subjects and strong intellectual powers, anticipated. The grounds were well chosen and admira bly arranged, an engraving of which will ae company our detailed report. Every thing seemed to be conducted in tbe best possible manner and everyone seemed to be highly delighted. Although not very appropriate in thia brief notice, we cannot omit to mention the admirable condition in which we found the Georgia Railroad, the excellence of the splen did new Car in which we traveled over it, sarpassing in ease any in which we ever rede' The excellent appointment of the road in all its departments-officers who aaaaa to study tha comfort of passengers, and eating houses at Betzslia and Social Circle which are unsur passed by railroad Hotels any where in our travels. In short, tbe reed aeems in batter condition to supply the wants of the pnblie, and contribute to swell the coffere of it* stockhold ers than at any former period of its history. "I wish to esll your attention, Messrs. Editors, to the following fact: The Amended Couttitutien ssys thero shall not bo more than 130 members of the Haute of ftepreaentatieee. Since that amendment. end without further change of Constitution, two now counties (Clinch and Gordon) have been croa toili eson has a member. This will make 132 *'«• of course unconstitutional for more tk “ j* tttk « MU*. Who will hara to giva 1 hkri isaaother elaaae of the Constitution, to which our correopondent has not alluded, that guarantee* to each eonuty a Representa tive. So that if the members elect from Gor don and Clinch arc either admitted to, or ex cluded from seats, the Constitution will be vio lated. The difficulty, however, is easily got ten ever. The Legislature at its last session, the same that organised the new counties, sew the embarrassment, end provided for it, by passing a bill to alter the Constitutioa so as to admit the additional tnembars. This Dill has only to be passed by the present legislature by the requisite majority to become e part of the Constitution. This can be accomplished in the first week o f the sersion without difficulty, after which the members from Clinch and Gordon can be admitted to seats. They will only be kept out of tii ir seats a few days. Opera and Ballet Troupe. Tux original New Orleaus Opera and Ballet Troupe,announce an exhibition of their very pleasing and popular performances, in which they have won high encomiums in other cities they have visited, to take plaee at Concert Hall, to-morrow evening. See advertisement. The Southern Meo:cal Journal for No vember, containing its uaua varie'y of matter in its peeuliar sphere, has been laid on our table by the Publisher, James McCaffxrty. The River, we are very much gratified to announce, has risen within the last two days sufficiently to he navigable, and steamboats can now recall our wharves without difficulty Consul Owen. We received, by brig Gulnare, at Charles ton, says tbe Susannah Republican, the sub orned {note from Mr. Owen. We comply with what we suppose to be his wish (its publi cation) with pleasure, and we doubt not the pnbtic will accord to him the favor he asks: Havana, Oct. 20, 1851. To the Editors of the Savannah Bej ul/'.lean — Gentlemen: — I have no official information of my recall, but the fact is asnoaneedin the papers of Naw Orleans and New York. 1 must request that you will do me the favor to ask that the public shall not judge me till they shall hear me ful'y. 1 ask nothing from their mercy ; but 1 have a right to justice. Very respectfully, &c , A. F. Owen. Justice to Lopez. Nil de Mortals nisi boaum, is a maxim that every generous spirit will approve. Lopez tested his faith and sincerity in the most satis factory manner that it waa possible for him. He waa brave, and we mast believe honett, though weak and credulous—deceived rather than deceiving—“more sinned against than sin ning." We recollect the story that was current of his attempt to buy his life by making certain disclosures. We are glad to see that this stigma does not rest upon the memory of a bravo man. We publish, with pleasure, the follow ing letter from the Delta A T . Orleans Bulle tin. Havana, Sept. 17, 1851. L J.

This ia the third cargo which hat bjen received, making, in all, about twenty five miles of rails which have boon delivered. The balance of the fif;y six miles of rails con tracted for is to be delivered tho ensuing win ter. The progress of this great enterprise is very encouraging. Already a large portion of the fifty s.x miles between Selina and Montevallo is prepared to receive the superstructure, and the work of laying the track from Selma, north wardly ha> been going on for the last month. A locomotive is now on the track, to be enga ged in hauling materia’s for track laying when ever required, and passenger and freight cars are shortly expected out, to be employed, the present season, in conveying passengers and freight from the Mulberry Valley to Sel ma. We have it from good authoiity that the road will be completed in running order to Monte vallo by neat August. Considering that this part of the road will develope the rich coal and iron region of the Cahawba valley, and at the same time open to a market a great ex ent of productive and agricultural country, there can be no doubt that it will yield a handsome dividend on its cost All tho contractors on the northern division (eighty three miles) from the Coosa river, in Sheluy connty, to Gadaden, are now actively engaged with a large farce in grading the road. This division is to be completed for the super structure in May. 1853. The graduation ofthe remainder of the road between Selma and Gadsden (about thirty miles) will, it is expected, be placed uuder con tract this winter, and should the energetic action oftha President end Directors of (be Company be seconded by the people in erested in the enterprise, there is every reason to believe that the road will bs completed to the Tennessee river in three years.— Mobile Ado.
