We alluded briefly yesterday to the propaoni's,
which certainly exists that the next State Far VIII
be the grandest and most extensive that has ever
been held in Virginia. In view OF this reasonanle
expectation, we would add suggestion to exhibit
ors to have their articles early on the ground The
Fair opens on Tuesday, the Both inst. If they have
their articles here by Saturday and communicate a.
once with one of the Marshals at the grounds all
will be well and they viii have no further trouoie
But if they defer this duty to the last moment they
will make trouble all round bother themselves
weary the Marshals and other officiais-who VIII
have their hands full any way-and then discover
in the end that the committees have totally over
looked them and their contributions. SO, gentle
men and lady exhibitors, take our advice, and DC

Canadian ReiaicinRs.

Of all the people who have been been made hap
py by the fall of Sebastopol, the Canadians are the
most frantic in their jublatons In proportion to
their numbers, they have illuminated more win
dows, fired more guns, and rung more bells, than
either French or English. They are the proudest,
sleekest most complacent set of little spancls that
ever eat crumbs from under a masters table
Great Britain would willingly be rid of the Cana
dies, for they are great expense and no earthly
advantage; but they stick to her like loyal burrs
They would rather be the tail of the British lion
than the head of Il Yankee dog. Seward & Co
may as well give up their prospects of Canadian
annexation. Victoria's household are not NOR,
true to her than the provncials of the Canadas

Naval Reform.

A strongly written communication appears in
Yesterdays Enquirer, i'll condemnation of the mode
. of conducting the late naval reform. 1t does seem
high-handed proceeding, and most unquestionably
some officers quite deserving and capable as any
members of the Board, have been unjusty dealt
with There are others, however, who richly de.
serve all, and more than they have received And
we have little doubt there still left in the
service, whom it would be no detriment to the pub
lie interests to eject in the most summary manner

Paintings mt the Mechanics Fair.

1t will be seen by the advertisement of the Me
chanics Association that premiums are offered for
Paintings and though the time is short, we hope
that good display of pictures may be secured
The Mechanics Institute have had obstacles of We
nv serious character to contend with not the least
of which is the want of an act of incorporation
Nevertheless, they will make very credtable dis
play. They have the consent of several distin-
Rushed orators, who will make addresses during
the exhibition.
Those editors who are favorable to the enter
prise, will be kind enough to notice the Fair, and
especially the premiums for paintings.

Mike Walsh in England.

The New York Herald is publishing letters from
that subterranean democrat of New York, Mike
Walsh, who is now travelling i'll England The
letters are of course highly original in STYLE pecu-
liar in expression, and independent in OPINION
Often as the road has been journeycd over before,
it seems like new road to travel it with Mike
Walsh. He says that everything an American
sees on landing in England. reminds him of slow.
ness and solidty" In his views of men and things
he shows much less bigotry than we should have
expected, and the whole, seems disposed to give
honor where honor is due

Portsmouth.

Our regular correspondent having failed yester-
dav, we are enabled to supply the deficiency by III
formation which we have obtained from the Rev.
Mr.. HUME.
For the tcenty f0ar hours ending Monday evening
only one person died, viz: John Borum, whose was
a relapsCd case.
There were some new cases, two certainly OF
yellow fever and few of doubtful character
There had been Il few relapsed cases that were con-
sidcrcd critical Among the latter we regret to
learn is Father DEvLIN, who had relapsed the third
time and was extremely i'll.
A few persons had returned; but it was consider.
ed highly imprudent yet awhile for the refugees to
come back. There lad been two frosts, and ice on
Monday morning, ana the health of the place was
constantly improving; but it was by physicians
and all considered highly dangerous for absentoea
to venture home yet
By way of Petersburg, we learn lhat John Rich
ardson and a child of John Jarvis died, we sup
pose, on Monday night.
