Institute Fair. This week has been a first rate
time, as to weather, for presenting different fabrics
at the Fair, and the opportunity has not passed il
vain. The number of persons presenting specimens
up to 10 Il. m. to day, was 1859, and the number O.
specimens from five to six thousand. The number
of ~visiters, daily, since the Fair opened, estimated by
one ofthe gate tenders, at 10000. will name some

Castle Garden, to day. Frraeds Well Bucket, fit
ted for filling without tipping, and an apparatus for
causing it to discharge its contents without using the
ordinary means. Corn-Mills of various patterns.
Cars; Rail-, for car tracks ono Car Model with front
wheels so adjusted, and so operated by springs, as
to prevent common obstacles from throwing tho car
Off the track. l should judge from experiments
made with this model, that block placed on the rail
in the most dangerous angle, and of 6 to 10 inches in
diameter, would not displace the first or succeeding
set of wheels and, as the plan is to construct springs
to so many pairs of wheels as shall be found neccs-
sary, | think the plan must prove n great preventive
to accidents Incident to cars being thrown from their
tracks. Coaches and various other kinds ofcarriag-
es are here for competition, and some Of them are
the most BEAUTIFULLY finished of any | have ever seen.

u large assortment: Clocks, designed for mantlc-pie-
ces, and the time measured without the ordinary
pendulum. To one of these clocks was a large Brass
