v.. lovely day, cold clesr and bracing, and Gov
.r,or Sir Edmund Walker Head, bsroDet, made
his pubic entry into this handsome, lively. and
thriving town, sboat one in the afternoon, from
Quebec, via Kingston, where be had been fsttered
and fessted On the previous day. With bis wife
and family be visited the Fair after receiving sew
eral voleys Of those fulsome addresses wh;h had
greatly annoy ed many of bis predecessors. la bis
train we're Lord Bury, youth OF twenty-tnree,
eldest son of the Earl of Albemarle, (Sho gets
$4,000 year as head of the Indian department
m Canada. over which, and over bis salary drawn
scm their industry, the Canadians have as little
control as they have over that of Sir EdmuDd,-
43I, OCO year), Sir Allan MacNab, and Messrs.
Csyley Spence, Attorney general Macdonald, Sher-
in huttan aud others. FlaRs were displayed, arches
covered With green boughs placed across the streets
and a hsbdbill posted On the walls telling that
Lady Heads levte at the mayors would come Oh
at three and that all might be there who chose 70
attend.
Mr. David Christie Of Brantford, president Of
the Upper Canada Agricultural society, waited
upon the governor aud bis court through the
grounds. Of which twelve acres were iDclosed, and
sfterward delivered his annual address to several
Thousand persons, enforcing the necessity OF agrl-
cultural instruction TO the young, stating OF what
il should consist, describing and comparing the
mode Of guilty atiDg wheat, &c, in England, the
United states and Canada, and referring to the
leading features of the Fair, which was in many re-
spects superior to all that were before 1t, and
highly cieditable to the rkill, industry and good
IL linz in
perhaps in the quality Of the cattle, your State
lair at Elmira. My impression is that the west
ern parts OF Western Canada are to the full az FAR
advanced in scientific sgrculture-tO which, when
the virgin soil begCs to get poor all must resort
or iail--as even Western New. York; and l trust
that their rivalry will be to excel each other in
what is useful, remembering that al enlightened
sy,tem Of husbandry ia a potent civilizer OF the
human race.
The Provincial fair for 1856 will be held in Sep
ten Der at Kingston, and the Baron of LOnReuit is
the PRECEDENT elect of the Provincial Agricultural
society.
The progress of Canada Vert in manufactures
was q remarkable feature in the show carriages,
saddlery, hardware, axes, edgetoOls, agricultural
implements, wagons, solamander safes, bank locks,
iron raiipgs, mill mach merry, stoves, pianos, cab
met furniture embroidery plated ware, &C, al OF
them made among Ourselves, indicated apprO aches
toward independence The show was popular and
well attended. So scarce we're beds that the hotel
Keepers had 10 put up tiers Of temporary beds, like
those we see in soldiers barrack-roOms, aud
fortunate was he who could for half dollar
or dollar rest his wearied limbs of
them, alongside fourteen others, two in bed.
This was the worst feature ia the show, though
CCbOurg has risen within the century from beiOg
hut or two TO its present standing, and has rail-
way pa, sing into the interior of the country, as
has its rival village, Port Hope, miles dis.
tant To make improvements-n0t very wisely, for
their roads are nearly parallel-both places have
borrowed heavily from the Provincial government,
are heavily taxed, and with many other places may
speedily rue the loose way in which municipal
debts are contracted and the money expended in
this country.
Having an ak to grind, Cobourg gives Sir f.
Head and his court dinner, after which they
were TO leave, this morning at four, travelling in
roy al style in the Kingston" steamer, hired at Il
am assured) three bu' dreo dollars day-the re-
publican fashion Of taking passage in the daily
stt amer being consider'd undlgnifed.
The present government like all others that have
been or that may hereafter be acting under our
deceiful scheme has no hOld whatever upon the
public rot man in il has the esteem al d respect
VI any considerable body of the people. As bul.
wer would say society here is like n bouquet OF
sweet hos ers in Coyent garden, but the string
that ties them together lie utterly worthless.
Two miles in the rear Of Port Darlington Is
