the precise period when the Fair OF the Institute is
held, and whence genius can not only derive gratih
cation, but imbibe inspiration, whose influence
shall be felt 10 our remotest territory. With these
views we are pleased TO find that an effort is being
made to establish perpetual Fair or Polytechnic
Exhibition.
We have read circular on this subject, from
which we make the following extract, explanatory
OF the contemplated object:-
proposed that the associations Of this city,
formed tor the promotion Of arts science and literature,
cooperate in opening practical Theatre for the exhbi-
ton Of new inventions and works OF art with specimens
Of superior manufacturing skill and in which models of
machines, vessels &c. could be set in motion by steam
power, or illustrated by the use of Croton water the
whole be accompanied by regular courses oflecures
Such an exhibition il s believed, could not fail TO at
tract crowds every age and SEX and be tn
means Of mparting valuable information in cheap and
amusing form, and also have tendency to divert the
minds OF the young ON the haunts Of dissipation and
idle shows.
1t would be an il sttution in which all citizens and
org anzed societies should feel deep interest To carry
out fully will require and should engage, the united
efforts Of all.
incpient steps have been taken, and we doubt not
the great and good results OF which it must neces-
sarily be productive, will commend il to the inn
mediate attention and advocacy OF all who love the
progress of science and the well being OF their fe-
low man. A convention has been suggested TO
confer this subject TO be held here on the I'd of
November, and we anticipate an encouraging com
mencement and progress OF Polytechnic Fair
which the United States require and are as capable
TO support with credit and advantage as any nation
on the face of the earth
The attendance to-day was very great, and
amongst the others there was Captain Yohe, with
his corps Of National Guards, from Easton, Penn.

notice and attention.

sident OF the Institute General Chandler, and other
Members of the Committee. On being introduced.

MURDERoUs OUTRAGE ON OUR PUBLIC THOROUGH
FAREs.-The daily history of our city would exhibit
record at which the heart would sicken. Tina,
history imperectly it is given in the daily press
is sufficiently revolving, but if the scenes OF gross
brutality which are OF frequent occurrence, and the
corruption or Imbeclliry Of our courts and public
officers were all infinitely detailed, The world would
discard the record as overcharged. One incident
which occurred on Saturday night, may serve as an
illustration. poor mulatto woman was passing
up Broadway on the evening mentioned, when che
was accosted by some ruffans, who are of a class
which may be frequently met with IN our thorough
fares; a few words passed between them, but OF
their import we are not informed, and one of the
ruffians brutality kicked her down the area of Flo
ence's oyster saloon, and we are informed that he
neck was dslocated. The booy of the murdered
woman was, however, picked up, thrust into cab
and driven rapidly away beyond the interference o
the bystanders and the inhuman brute who com
