allits predecessors, On next Monday, the 2Oth the
annual exhibition of the Mechanics Institute will
commence in their new and immense hail. which is
about three hundred and sixty feet in length, be-
lieyed to be the largest in the country. The dis
play of goods, it is expected will be very fine and
unusually large, whilst the department devoted to
mechanism promises to be attraction of no or
binary character.
Another great event of the month is the Cattle
Show and Agricultural Fair of the Maryland Ag
rcultural Society, which commences on the 22d,

test on which the election is to be conducted The
city, it is known, is strongly Democratic, but the
most sanguine Democrat neither expects or de-
sres his entire ticket to be elected. Indeed il is
generally believed that not full party ticket will
be cast on that day.
