Rere is fact worth stating: A Boston importer

portion Of this Session occupied Committee room
of the Capitol as an exhibition.room for choice
specimens of British Manufactures, comparing the
quality and price with what he set forth as like
specimens Of American fabrics This gentleman has
been waited on in behalf of the Managers of the
National Fair and invited to take his choice of the
tables in the Exhibition, and there show his British
specimens against the American fabrics which be

Il deeply regre, that New.York is very scantily
represented in this Fair. Philadelphia has turned
out nobly; Baltimore profusely, of course; Boston
and Lowell are on hand even New. Hampshire
has a hundred diferen. specimens Of goods; while
Virginia surpasses all expectation. Il hear that
about thirty co,ton.factores are now being erected
in Georgia. which State is resolved 10 DO to the
South what Massachusetts is to the North.) Yet l
have not met but a few packages Of goods from our
State, and those from Troy, Oneida Co. &c. No
man would mistrust, from reading the labels a. this
Fair that New York sells any goods at all, when
compared with the cities above mentioned. What
can be the meaning of this remssness7 l should
suppose that self interest would dictate different

The GRIND Festival Concert Mt Castle Garden.
The evening was fair; the apartment a, Castle
Garden, full of light, wore the most joyous air. the
orchestral platform, when full, had the appearance
of a small, but crowded Mount Parnassus; and the
nondescript deies, or whatever they were, on the
curtain that overhung it, seemed ready to skip and
jump with pleasure. All was right except the
audience. which, though good looking, well behaved,
and quite large enoughto make the atmosphere op.
pressve in the latter par, of the evening, not,
alas satisfactory, viewed in regard to dollars. We
fear not more than three or four thousand of those
little almighties could have been added to the
fund. We suppose the calculation was ipjudlcious
and that, in taking go large hail. the tickets should
have been put ut lower rate, for it is well known
that the economies Of our people lead them 10 prefer
paying eight quarters Of dollar eight times for
eight bad books, rather than two whole dollars all
at once for one good book; and 1t follows they
would prefer paying four half dollars for four ordi-
nary entertainments rather than two dollars for an
excellent one. AS for expecting them 10 act in re-
ference TO the future, lat be looked for only
from the smallest mino ty.
The size Of the 70 was benefit 10 those who
were well seated. Music cannot be equally heard
in H. and the delicate parts are much swallow
ed up and wasted by its construction. But the
grand burO,s of sound the full passages, had this
time, sufficient pers, ective to give them effect.
The first overture was well performed. Miss
Northall followed, bat either she was agiiated, or
did not know how to proportion her voice to the
building. Her singing was inefficient and she fell
into her old lachrymose style, from which we hoped
she had finally emerged Perhaps it was strainng her
voice that destroyed Its frmness OF tone. We re-
GREETED this. rs she is becoming justly, favorite
with the public. An overture of Mozart followed,
TO which due effect was not given Then came
Madame Otto. She showed skill and practice in
making use Of her position We never heard her
sing go well, and she was much applauded. But
her total want of FIRE and spon,aneity makes her
always wearisome to ourselves. We cannot do

music mere words do not suffice u.s.
