nett," was the repeated response Of the merchants
and men Of bushes, che does beat the devil for

Amistsd negroes at Hartford also caused an immense
demand for the paper. In the large room at the Ex-
change, the crowd Of merchants round the " He

kers present joined.
The state of commercial matters here is not lit

downwards most immensely, and It 10 the opinion
OF many of the oldest merchants here that il will 60
much lower before it goes higher, unless the banks
suspend specie. payments. The cry OF nine busi
ness men out Of every ten that you meet, isl
wish to Heaven that the banks would suspend;
u States would 60 up; their post notes would be
good gold, and every thing would 60 up. Nothing
but the obstinacy Of the few New York banks pre-

merchant passed the Girard Ban about o'clock,
and saw some 5eOO0 in specie arrive and enter its
doors at that time.

nights and on both fronts Of the State House, there
were at least 2eO paper lanterns with inscriptions on

quiet. No fights, noise In store 30 feet from

Irvine INsrIrUrr.-The managers, pupils, and
ady patronesses of this establishment, held
nencement' at Clinton Hall. ON Tuesday. The
theatre crowded with ladies, and the little fell
sws did great credit to their elocution masters
)ne incPient orator bawled out the great speech Of
Daniel Webster that was spoken before the Agricul
ural Association, recently in England. Perhaps
he juvenile " Daniel was net able to do justice to
he mighty words of his great prototype, for it did
aot strike very remarkable piece Of eloquence
-evsn for adinnsr table. Apart from this and other
Absurdities, these exhibitions are good things in
and deserve to be encouraged. They

selves M to shake of the reins Of authority, and rea

FAM OF rHE ANEnsAS ISsrrrUrE-This exhi-

the gardens were crowded to excess yestsrday--
The number Of articles has been greatly increased,
and there are many more curious things to be seen
there now than on the two fret days. Catlis, who
goes 10 Europe with his rare Indian collection in
about three weeks, has beautiful specimens Of
American diamonds or geodes, and very correct
miniature plan Of Niagara FaIls, exhibiting at this
Fair; also an Ough-Chippewa squaw dress, made Of
the skin Of mountain sheep, and very delicately
wrought by the Indian women with pcrcupine auills
We doubt whether there is female in this city that
can put mach 6ne work In dress a. there il in
the one made by the beautiful red compile xioned
Chippewa women.
Jenisen Of Broadway, has several refrigerators in
the large hall, and they well worthy the nspec-
ton Of the vsiters, especially those who married
and have lovely wives and good husbands. BY hav.
ing Of these articles in the house, the butter the
meats, the fruits, and the wines will always be kept
cool and fresh as the mountain dew.
II seems to us pity that there cannot be some
show Of impartiality in our institutions like this
when the premisms are awarded. II 10 to be hoped
that the managers this year will not be Influenced
by any other motive but righteous one. Last year
the fair was conducted BY the vsreset Of old wones
in breeches that ever had the management OF any
concern-and we do verify believe that one half OF
The medals and diplomas awarded last October were
given to the wrong persons, partly through favo-
ritism, and partly through sheer ignorance. when
the articles examined they are cut, and hacked,
and broke and looked at through spectaclss resting
IN the ends Of the judges noses asd their opinion 10
given to the world as circumstances point, out and

scarcely know what opinion to give until hint
