Hsnrico Agricultural and Horticultural Society.
The Executive Committee give notice that the
annual meeting OF The Society will be held in the
month of October next The first day, Agricul-
ture-Exhibilion ofStock, Crops, &C., and Plough
ing Matches. The second day, Horticulture
Specimens OF Mechanic Arts, Domestic Industry,
SC. Addresses on both days. Details with a
lis, OF premiums will be given in a few days.
To prevent misapprehcnsion, the Committee
think j, proper 10 state, that the Exhibition on
the 21th fell far short oil their anticipatons; II
was mainly owing TO their miscalculation OF the
season, being at least len days TOO late for the
florists and cultivators of early fruits. They
have 10 regret, however, the apparent abatement
OF interest in the exhibitions on The part OF the
citizens of Richmond, by whom the Society is, as
il always has been. chiefly supported. II has been
our uniform policy so 10 direct the operations OF
the Society, as TO requiie in some degree, the
generous support OF The City; and we Trust that
the Richmond markets afford evidence Of some
success. The County cannot, or will moi, give
The Society an adequate support; and we appeal
10 such Of lis CITY patrons as have Withdrawn, I'M
der an impression that II no longer required their
aid, 10 give rs iha, aid again. MIR. Richard G.
TunsalI, and Mr.. Richard Hill, Jr., the Trea-
surer and Secretary OF the Society, will receive
subscriptions, payable by the annual meeting in
October.
By order Of the Executive Committee.

CAMPEACHY.-The Yucatan schooner

the blockade OF the mouth OF the Rio Grande had
been received at Campeachy, but they had not
heard OF The actual commencement Of hosiiities.

A curious and interesting scene took place II
the Louisiana Legislature on the 18Th. The Go
vernon entered the Hall and asked leave 10 ad
dress the House. He said:
".Nr. Speaker and Gentlemen have called on
you this morning TO state circumstance OF pc
cuiar nature, and TO ask you 10 become my wit
nesses and endorsers in reference TO il. On my
visit 10 the Barracks last evening" presuming tina

application 10 Mr.. Benz. Story, OF the Bank OF
Louisiana, and asked for 5000 dollars, 10 be re-
funded when the law passed. Mr. Story declined
letting me have the amount. then made appli-
cation 10 Mr. Burke, President OF The Canal
Bank. who, without any hesitation, Immediately
placed TO my credit the sum OF 5000 dollars, and
declared his willingness 10 let me have any
amount needed. Gentlemen, ask you 10 be my
witnesses and endorsers in this matter"
The Governor retired from the House amidst
the cheers Of the Representatives.
The House instantly took up the appropria-
ton bill, INST received from The Senate, and pass
ed it by reclamation Immediately alter
wards passed bill, empowering the Treasurer 10
pay into the Canal Bank the said sum OF $4,000,
thus literally advanced.
1t was then resolved, "lhat the Canal Bank Of
New Orleans shows the fact, thatal corporations
are not destitute OF patriotic feeling, and its
prompt action in iurthering The views OF the coun-
try, by the late loan TO the Governor, deserves
the thanks of The Legislature"
This Mr.. Benz. Story, OF the Bank Of Louisi-
ana, had been lauded to the skies, for offering

he refused 10 make the small loan Of $4,000, IN

A public meeting was held al n. Orleans, May
