y
:acturers, SC, met In Paterson last evening, 10
make arrangements for the Eighth Annual
pIouqbinp Exhibition a committee of the Board
Of Agriculture of the Institute were present. A.
,er the meeting was organized, General Goodwin
srnIa;ned the objects for which it had been con-
rened. viz to make the preparatory arrangements
cor the Plouching Match to be held IN that vlclnl-
~ on Monday, the 18th OF October next, and dur
mo the 10th annual fair. Mr.. Meigs, member
OF the Agricultural Committee, was then invited
70 address the meeting which he did in a speech
occupying about three-iourths of an hour. de was
original instructive and happy in his effort
Fverv word he uttered was listened to with atten-
ton. and apparently with the highest qualification
gentleman present, we understand, reported
his speech, which will be published IN the Pater-
son papers. We hope to find room for ii hereafter
in the Tribune.
Nr. Wakeman. another of the Committee, was
next called upon TO explain the nature and objects
of these ploughing exhibitions, which he per-
formed in PLAIN and concise manner, and exem-
pIified new efforts in improving the plough, the
greatest instrument ever invented, which he
showed had always been intimately connected
with civilization and human comfort, and in all
aces had afforded sure index Of the condition of
society He commented on the labor saving
qualities OF other agricultural instruments and the
general ntercs; taken in agricultural knowledge
and improvements, and the increased production
which was resulting from these com blncd causes
He called attention also to the Importance Of
cultiyating a home market, in order that the dc
mand might keeppa with the rapidly increasing
supplies He showed from the reports OF the
Secretary 81 the Treasury for series OF years
past, that our exports, especially of Northern pro-
duce, had compared with the population serious
" fallen off, and that New jersey could place no
reliance upon the foreign market. That she was
forced to look at home as her only reliance for
unfailing prosperity and permanent Independence.
A Committee was appointed by the meeting TO
cooperate with the Committee of the Institute to
carry out this exhibition, and to procure some dis
tinguished agricuturlst TO deliver all address on
the occasion. We do not doubt, from the spirit
manifested that there will be a great rally on the
10th of October. About 1000 people collected
at the Newark exhibition. and we shall be dlsap-
pointed if more than double that number do not
attend at Paterson.
LATER FROM KINGSTON J,MAIcA-Bv the ar
rival at this port OF the schooner Currency, Cap
tam Sharp we have received advices from Cape
Haytien four days later and from Kingston, ia
maica, ten days later, but learn nothing of inter
est except the following, which we clip from the
Jamaica Despatch of the llth uIt:
By an arrival from Hayt we learn that a
French Admiral, with FIVE ships, comprising two
tiltcs, a soop-oi-war, a brig and schooner, had
arrived there. The precise object of the visit is
not generally known; but coupling it with the
late transactions there but little doubt can be
tanned on the subject. We are aware of the fact
of France having been solicited to take Hayt
der her protection, or in other words the Hayucns
arc wIshiu! 10 return TO their allegiance and we
know that dispatches were sent to France semc
time ago by the French Commander-ln-C Chief in
these seas for instructions. By the treaty with
France, Hayt is bound to pay a heavy sum for
her independence and, if We mistake not she is
about 10 pay the penalty Of the bond. One Of the
fittes will be down to-day, when probably we
shall hear more aboutlt.
The drought, accounts of which we have from
the Wlndward Islands, appears TO have extended
also TO the Leward Islands, and IN consequence,
ground provisions have suffered very much.

We further learn, Through our Philadelphia
correspondent by this arrival that business APP
peared pretty active at Kingston, and the flour,
meal and pork markets were firm, with feeling
evidently upward. Flour was held at 49, and
should there be no arrivals soon, the price would
greatly advance. Meal sold at 50 90 An I'M
provement in the price Of most other articles was
anticipated
Trade at Carthagena had become exceedingly
dull. and the expediency of making il free port
had been privately discussed in several circles
The Guiana Herald says: We learn from
private sources that all the respectable members
OF the late ant-slavery party now give in cordial
" their adherence to the proposals of Government
for emigration from the Western Coast OF Africa,
and that in this measure West Indians are as
sufed of their support. Sir George Stephen alone,
of all the leading members OF that party, opposes
this undertaking."
The Currency sailed from Jamaica, 10th July,
and left no New York vessels in port

the travelling COMMUNITY.
u The Central Railroad Line is now open
from Savannah to Macon with the exception of
two and half miles and IN few weeks more
