Although the proceedings of to-day are not Of
Leading importance, yet to the large number OF
spectators assembled, they are of high interest,"
The vast variety of Objects the taste displayed in
the arrangements; the arrivals of fresh additions
to the general stock land the gay and high respect
ability of the spectators, well as the exceeding
beauty Of the weather and surrounding scenery,
have combined effect on the feelings that is but
seldom felt, and surely be surpassed by any
other means OF imparting pleasure.
Numerous arrivals by the several steamers up
and down last night and to-day, have swelled the
walls we note eminent agrlculturlss from almost
every State in the Union, and the British Pro-
vinces. Tonight an important accession may be
expected to our numbers, and the exhibition OF
tomorrow, will, it is fair to expect be as gay and
instructive in it's effects as 1t is commendabe IN Its
| objects. shall give description Of the field OF
action to-morrow-until when, scarcely anything
| can occupy my mind, but the thousand and one in
terestng objects of which have been curious
spectator since early this morning. A.
Theatricals.
There was pretty fair house at the Park last
night to see Mr.. Macready's Macbeth 1t was
very curious study to mark the contrast presented
by the audience at this theatre last night to those
which in former years-in the palmy days of hele
climate drama-werei wont to assemble at sold
Drury." Where was the dress circle, crowded
with fair danes, dressed in the highest style Of
fashion and glitteripg with jewelry? Where were
the leaders Of fashion! There was not one lady
in full Dress and the only pair of white kid gloves
in the house covered the delicate hands of waiter
from the Astor House, who had got whole eve
nings leave, and had taken his betrothed,
blooming Irish lassie, "to see Macready." The
opera house is now the only place of amusemen,
where the fashionables" are to be seen-and
their lists, how changed one Of 'the old
familiar faces to be seen amongst them.
And yet the Park was well f,led-and SO was
the Chatham and the Bowery-and Niblo's-and
Palmo's Rice and Negro extravaganza at the
Chatham-blood and murder and peanuts at the
Bowery-the "Bell Ringers at Niblo's-and the
"Ethiopean Mnstrels' at Palmo's. These latter
artists belong to numerous class which has lately
started into existence-vulgar, rude, and outre
enough, in all conscience, and yet attracting crowds
| Of the most respectable and most precise of the
community.
The taste 70. all sorts Of dramatic and musical
ENTERTAINMENTS is evident, has greatly increased
The golden age is dawning us again, and peo-
pie haveTpenty of Quarters to spare. For long
| time to come this country must be the great har-
vestfeldof all sorts of ssstars' in the theatrical
| and musical line
