officers appointed for the purpose. We have receiv-

STATE FAIR AND CATTLE SHow.-Ample prepa-
rations are being made at Utica, which is the IA
vored spot where the great agricultural State fair is
to be held for this year. From all we learn il will
be spirited exhibition, and well repay the efforts
that are making and all who take the trouble to vi
sit it. 1t is to be held the 18th, 18th, and 18th
OF the present month"; and great facilities exist OF
transporting cattle and farming produce from al
parts ofthe country by canal and railroad, may be
expected 10 eclipse the splendid display which
took place last year at Poughkeepse. We learn
that the managing committee have made arrange
ments with the various railroad and canal autnori-
ties for the conveyance OF freight and passengers TO
and from the fair, at greatly reduced rate We
hope the public will avail themselves OF the advan-
tages SO literally rendered by these companies, and
that the whole will result in the benefit of the agri-
cultural interest.

the bar does the recent disgraceful fracas between
Mr. Ven Buren, and Mr.. Jordan present Here we

State, and one OF the most distinguished" Of the
members Of the New York bar, calling each other
liars IN open court and then assailing one another

such contumely and contempt!

The Foreign News.

The Great Western arrived last evening, in sew
enteen days passage from Liverpool She encoun-
tered very severe westerly gales, and hence her long
trip over the ocean. An unusual number of passen-
gers came in her and they speak in high terms of
Capt Matthew'S.
The intelligence thus received Is four days later,
and is TO the 23d ult. inclusive. 1t is interesting
The progress OF Queen Victoria on the continent !;
the curious toast OF the King Of Prussia creating
little anger in France; the religious riots in Germa
ny, which startled the crowned heads in the midst
OF their JOYS the unsettled state of the weather in
England, producing ieverish feeling in the IN
market; and the steadiness in the prices of cotton,
the features of the news. The religious riots in
Germany have their sign and tendency. The fear
iu antlcipations in England of short crop are not
without result. According 10 all our accounts
from various parts of Europe, America has reason
TO appreciate her prosperity.
A full compilation of the news, including the re-
marks of the English press on Texan annexation,
is given on the outside.

EFFECTS OF PROTECTION THE other day some
Of the New England manufacturing companies de-
clared dividend of over forty per cent annual pro-
tit on the capital stock invested This certainly in
dicates an extraordinary state Of the manufacturing
interest and one which has revived the desire in
many intelligent persons 10 see change in the Ia
riff. As there is cause tor every thing, so there
must be one for these unusually large dividends
and that not remarkably occult, if people would look
at the with their eyes open. II cannot be all
owing 10 skill, nor disproporonately low rate OF
wages, that making goods pays well in this coun-
Try, nor is il owing TO marked superiority IN ma
chinery; il seems 10 be attributable to an absence
of competition The same entertainments profits
followed the same cause in England tor short
period after the improvements in machinery by
Arkwright and others. Sir Richard Phillips states
that 1000 per cent profit cleared by cotton spin
ners tor a certain period; that competition arose
and gradual reduction ensued, until profits came
to about 10 per cent, which is the present average
rate 1t during the short period of high profits
that the Peels made their vast wealth they had en-
terprise and means TO lay hold OF the new inven-
tons and they paid for it by the acquisition of
a munificent fortune.
We want competition here, 10 give the people
cheap apparel After all, that is the point keep in
yiew-an adequate and cheap supply of goods for
the market Now, if this is not likely to be procur-
ed under the present system-if our own citizens
not disposed TO compete for share of the forty
per cent profits, why not leave it open to others
by taking away the present restrictions, as the
whole country must feel the benefit? A well
stocked market is a prime object for buyers,
who ought not TO be astidious as 10 who sells prO.
vided they purchase good bargains Those who
are enamored of high protective tariff are charge
able with blind passion, unless they show that
its future operation will reduce prices, and however
desirable it might be for US to make all those ar
cles require for home consumption, it certainly
appears foolish to pay thirty per cent for the privi
lege 1t is an empty, and worse than that, costly
honor.
