,ngton's Home Department of Agriculture, re-
commended by the Institute, and unanimously
approved by National Convention held last
year, will be again urged. These precious in
terests demand extensive concert, unanimity
and profound delberation; and the time, during
the great Fair--and the place, the emporium OF
the western world, were, by the convention of
asst year, decidedly resolved TO be the best suit
ed to accomplish the objects sought.
For the second week, has been assigned the
show of cattle, horses and other live stock, and
the ploughing and spading matches. Fine
horses, combining size, strength and i1eetness,
for wagon and catriage-healthy fat cattle and
sheep, suitable for market-well trained, well
matched, and powerful working cattle, and the
best mich cows, will each and all command
high premiums. To accommodate those inter
ested in the cattle show, a beautiful plot of
ground has been secured between Twenty third
and Twenty fourth Streets near the intersec-
lion of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, with COM
modious rooms on the premises for accommo-
dating the committees. The ploughing and
spading matches will be held i'll New York, or
It's vicinity. For particulars, see agricultural
-ircuar.

The great saloon and second story of the north
wing, will, as usual, be reserved for the fabrics
Of the factory and workshop, made of cotton,
woollen, silk, and all the varieties of metals
and other substance, the fruits of that genius
and invention, which have commanded the ad-
miration of the world. The first floor of the
north wing of the saloon will be animated by
moving machinery, propelled by our best model
steam engines, to afford visible, practical evil
dence to all their merits and value.
The best new and useful inventions will be
objects of the highest honors. Also, establish
ments affording large varieties of specimens of
well constructed agricultural and horticultural
machines and implements; but in no case, for
want of competition, or rather cause, will any
article be entitled to premium, if adjudged
intrinsically not deserving particular common
dation.
