THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Msryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
N STATE AGRIcULTURAL SOCIETY We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
Oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is good, If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list of
competition: if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the judges guarantee that you
can be defeated in other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tied To success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
nires and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard. preserves domestic tclnes co'vec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
mitont poman and the beautiful Celebrations Of he,
Taste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otsm both combine TO enjon upon you the pro-
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your mach-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
Ir Editors with whom we exchange will con-
fer favor by copying this notice.

COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO

lie public will be grati6ed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel TO California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, thoy were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those VINO cou'd
procure passages in other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
leDce Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama AS soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impatience OF
passengers in going forward, against tho advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama,
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran

patch.
