compiish their object Of going to both places with
ont too great loss Of time. We may expect 10
ses m increase rather than dimiuction of the
number OF visitors towards the close of the week.
We thick Il probable that larger number will be
present on tomorrow to hear Mr.. CusHrsa's speech
than there will have been on the ground any pre-
visus day and just on account Of the constant ac-
esssion from fresh arrivals.

To morrow, we shall have the address Of Mr..
GUSHING, the distinguished Statesman and orator,
Of Massachusetts,. Saturday, our EN- ineut Virginia
statesman, Mr. RIvEs, will deliver the Valedictory
address. Lord NAPIER will arrive to-day. and 1t 10
more than probable that We shall, during the
week, hear something from his Lordship about

tionai good feeling than by talking to the crowd
here about cultivation.
The whole week, indeed, will be one OF interest
No former Fair will lave passed of more bril-
lianty. Tho Banquet aud Ball will be appropriate

Tho Agricultural Exhibition.

Except in sheep aud hogs and fancy fowls, the
show Of the Agricultural Fair 10 better than any OF
its predecessors The display of horses 10 supe
and more varied than any former exhibition OF
that noble animal The cattle are not less nume-
rous, and combine a larger number OF hrstciass
animals than was ever collected together 10 Virgi
mia The fat cattle magnificent, and the vari
ety of blooded cattle 10 extensive The visitors to
the Fair will be especially struck with the Downs
and Alderneys-the latter very remarkable in
form, and said TO be highly priced for their excel
lent milk aud butter.
The display of machinery presents very great
variety and IL indeed the most interesting exhibi-
ton of the sort ever accumulated by the Agri'
cultural Societies.
Thus we have, in spite Of ten per cent and MY
eents-which have excited so much apprehen sion
and denuuciation-a most successful Fair. One OF
which we may indeed be proud. Possibly 1t might
have been lsrgsr-a few more hogs and sheep
might have houored the assemblagc with their pre-
sence-if the ten per cent tariff had been pretermit
ted. Blu. the sheep and the hogs may rest assured
that their races have representatives at the Fair
that do them foil justice aud We do not think
tbere need be any complaint that there are
not more of them, especially the hogs.
The exercises in the horse lot yesterday, were
very attractive. Some fine horses we're displayed
on tho track. The crowd was dense every point
Of observation was closely packed with spectators.
Those exercises continue every day, except that on
which the premiums ARE awarded, when the track
will be the scene of still more interesting cere-
mony. ~
