oSDENcE OF The RICHMOND DAILY DESPATCH


PETERSBURG, Oct. 2Gth, 1857
All excitement attending the Fair and Races hav-
ing subsidized, city seems almost deserted. Wcare
in the midst of q lul. and when comparing the
streets of few days since with the outdoor life Of
to-day, we feel very much like the last man"
wandering about with scarce an item ia view, and
vginly deysing the ways and means of making
news ont of nothing.
The Fair which commences in your city to-mor-
row. attracts but little attention here-a bit of
retaliation by the way for the slight which coos-
sal Richmond bestowed upon the recent exhibition
in this quarter Besides people are becoming
bored with their frequent recurrence, and very
naturally cherish i'll will against the whole system
grand nuisance.
Miss Katie Estelles theatrical company will open
an engagement at Fhonnix Hall tonight The COM
pany is said to be a a very superior order, and
will no doubt attract large audiences.
Edward Weeks member of the night police
was discharged from Office this morning. for al

Weeks denied the charge. lie has concluded. since
his discharge. to "open' on the whole corps of

yond a doubt that there has for long time been
" something rotten in Denmark that is TO say in
the police corps of this little city. ARIEL.

THINGS AT THB FAIR GRoUND.-Des-
pite the drawbacks in the way Of unfavorabIe
weather and the panic, the grounds are full of OBJ
jects of interest aud utility. The number of horses
of every description is greater than last year
and that considered unusually fine exhibit
ton, the best up to that time. The cattle depart
ment is very fine, and nearly every stall occupied
The sheep are remarkably fine, and the pens of
swine every way superior. The Agricultural In
piement department is full and of course very
extensive. Altogether, the exhibition will compare
fayorably with the preceding ones. Articles con-
tinued to pore in yesterday. All that is needed
now is fair weather. Tho town is pretty full of
people and every train which reaches the city add.
largely to the concourse. We glad to chronicle
aro;her deep disappointment to the croakers.

The conviction and sentence of Iuntiugtlou The
great forger.
The New York Times of Yesterday morning con.
tains full and interesting report of the closing
scenes IN the trial of Huntingdon the great forger
We make the following extract:
Shortly after seven o'clock, the courtroom being
crowded TO Its utmost capacity the jury returned to
their seats. The judge, district attorney and clerk
of the court presently appeared but Mr. Brady, Hun.
ungdons counsel, was still absent. Huntingdon
glanced uneasily around the court Then he fixed
his eyes on the jury as if he would read their souls
During the whole progress of the trial he did not at
any time appear SO agltaed. His insanity had
given place 10 an anxiety which could only be con.
strued as that of perfectly sane person whose eame
was played out and who now waited The result
When Mr. Brady arrived, Mr.. Vanderyoorf the clerk
of the court poled the jurors and asked if thew had
agreed upon their verdict? On their replyinq in the
affirmative, he inquired, amid the breahess silence o.
the court whether they found the prisoner euiltv n,
not guilty Huntingdon then leaned forward anG
seemed breathless till the verdict was delivered Tn,

Judge Capron said, in effect-for we did no
