TAr GRKAr FArR.-We dropped in at the
Garden for an hour or SO last evening, for first
visit to the Fair, but had no, time to commence Il
catalogue Of the most notable products OF Arr and
Industry which are seen there A few general
remarks mus, suffice for to-day. Our impression
is that the exhibition is less protuse, and more
discriminating than ii has been-that there is less
candy and backing, and more evidence of sub
stantial progress in the Useful Arts in our coun-
Try. The specimens of American Silk in every
stage up to the richest fabrics most gratifying.
In Cloths, TOO, we noticed more striking improve
ments-choice Woolen fabrics made from the raw
material, without spinning or weaving, and sorle
fine Co,tons Of STYLES bu, recently attempted in
this country. OF Sofas, Tables, Hats, Bonncts,
Vests, &c. &c. the show is most satisfactory. OF
Stoves and all suck the usual infinite variety is
presented. The Carriages sre fewer than usual,
but of rare hghtncss and beauty OF Artificial
Flowers and such fancy work, there is an unusual
abundance The Agricultural products are no,
immense in quantity, bu, some of them are mar
velous in size and uxWriance-and that reminds
MS tina, The Agricultural Address will be delivered
