American lnseAeuee.
The fair this year, ~ compared with the sxhibi-
tisns Of former years, 10 linited and nsagrs. The
articles Presested are gsassaly good eftheir kind,
and show progressive nprovsment in the useful
and ornamental arts that is highly gratifying; but
the number and variety is small, owing solely, as
understand, to the faulty and man
in which the affairs OF the Insftste managed.
An association OF this kind might be, and ought to
be, productive of great and general advantage to
the arts and especially to manufacturers in this city
and the whole surrounding country. But the sys-
tenn of partiality and favsriisn which has prevailed
in this institution. in awarding premiums, and the
general Encouragement Of the whole concern, have
rendered it almost useless for the purposes for which
it was originally established.
On Thursday aud Friday of last week, the atten-
dance was pretty large, and a considerable number
there yesterday, but the beauty and fashion Of
the city has been thinly represented throughout
The friends Of the exhibitors have been there in
large numbers, and all have expressed themselves
highly pleased it'll many Of the individual articles,
while they were disappointed at their limited num-
Der.
The promenade into which the visitor is first
ushered devoted principally to the exhibition Of
stoves, nd ether apparatus for cookinC AMI warm
ing buildings There are very few carriages and
other vehicles in this apartment, but the exhibition
is exceedingly slim. AT some OF the previous fairs,
the array of carriages and sleighs truly splen
did, but owing to the neglect Of the managers, OF
some other cause MANY of the most beautiful vehi
cles were greatly injured, and the manufacturers
this year wisely declined sending specimens
A large stove, made by Fisk & Denison, ll3 Full
ton and numbered III in the catalogue, to be
par cularly convenient, and very valuable in point
of economy. The same firm have also drum,
numbered 49, which is intended Ia be placed in a
room adjacent that in which the stove stands, and
is calculated to check the heat, and drive it back
again. careful examination Of these articles will
satisfy any one Of their utility. There many
other improv ements in this part of household eco
nomy, which are well worth looking at.
The agricultural implements are few, and show
great Improvement since last year.
The saloon is tolerably we'll filled with variety
of articles, both useful and ornamental.
TVigs, S-c.-To that unfortunate class Of people
who have ugly hair, or at all, We would
mend specimen sol, from the mandatory Of Phe-
lon, 900 Chatham sqaare. This attractive show
case exc:tes great attention. There is wig Of sx-
traordinary lghtues., and the specimens of ladies'
hair dressing surpass anything that W have ever
seen in that line.
Tooth JVlsh-Peine has some fine specimens of
his famous tooth washa capital article for the teeth
and gums A constant of this wash, agreeably to
the directions, will tend greatly to the preservation
of the teeth.

smoother face than most Of the old soaps with sharp
steel; besides, is fragrant to the sense and soften
ing to the skin
Lozsnges.-No 79I lis case Of Sherman's medi-
Gated and fancy lozenges, numbering nearly 100
rieties. We never more beautiful articles Of
the kind, and doubt whether they can be surpassed.

made this distinct trade. Ho is an educated men,
Der of the medical profession, and his preparations
can be relied upon. We have tested eXpermen.
tally some Of his lozenges, and know them to be
what he represents them. This mode Of administer.
ing medicine must become very popular, particu-
larry among children, or those who have repug-
nance to being dosed in the ordinary way.
Bonnets.-Mrs. Ad ,ms, Of III Chatham street,
has couple of very tasteful and elegant ladies'
hats. They are numbered S53 and 35i, and per-
feet in their way. Mrs. Adams styles herself the
American mliner, and from these specimens Of
her taste and SKILL we are persuaded she has nothing
to fear from competition with any Foreigners.
Rsroiring Chairs king, corner Of Broadway
and Howard street, has some fine specimens Of his
most admirable and luxurious chair. A colloquy
between Mr. King and some of the visiters, to whom
he was exhibiting it, will best illustrate its virtues
