Close OF the state Fair-Grand Row be-
tween the Committees.


RocHrsTER, Sept 20, 1851.
The State Fair has ended and the crowd has de-
parted AL declare II the greatest ever held The re-
eeips exceeded those OF any previous fair by about
three thousand dciars The receipts Of admission to
the Fair grounds have realized $4,000 The premiums
have only amounted TO 5000. The committee wish
TO furd the remainder, and unwilling TO pay even
their own expenses There has been a terrible row be-
tween the city mtse and the excommittee or the
Albany Junts, the Rochester people call them
The city committee consideration OF holding the Fair
here engaged to pay i've thousand dollars towards the
two thousand dollars has been incurred for invited
guests, &c. which the city committee did not ageee 10
pay, but which the executive state nm.se insist
they shall pay. The city committee, however, have the
whip hand they have all the funds received AT the
Fair, in their possession and viii pay all the oiiis De-
fore they part with them. az
II certainly rather mean that the excommttee,
receiving fourteen thousand dollars dispute about
psyirg the thousand dollars expenses incurred by
themselves. .
One Of the curious phases presented by the Fair
and which l have omitted 10 raention, Is tue eager
curiosity of the people to witness the operation OF tue
telegraph. Houses tfce was hiled with them every
day from morning till night and the superintendent
good naturally permitted them to look on, and ex-
planned them the wonrs Of electricity The number
OF private ages sent 10y the people at the Fair Is
enormous. They seem to prefer Houses Prujng fele-

THE CASE OF HENRY CARMEL The extraordi-
nary circumstances connected with the stay of the
execution of this convict, furnish theme for wide
discussion among lawyers and lsymen. After a
convict has been sentenced to any other punishme Mt
than that of death and hi counsel advise that there
error on hi. trial, he is entitled by right, to
writ Of error, upon which to argue motion for new
rial, and the Supreme Court Judge may grant
stay Of sentence, if he thinks fit, by writing an
order to that effect upon the writ of error.
In the case of convic. sentenced TO be hung, his
counsel cannot obtain writ of error by right, but
must apply to Supreme Court Judge for it, who
may refuse it if he choose. But when Judge
grants such writ of error the statute in regard to
capital cases being silent to staying execution,
il is the province Of the executive to interpose re-
prieve, respite. which operates in the same man.
uer as the stay Of the Judge in ordinary cases We

cases
