THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY.-We believe il il
now arranged that an opposition ferry is to be
run to Staten Island, and we can hardly con-
ceive greater blessing which could be be.
slowed upon the people of New York On the
present ferry, conducted as it is, there is no
safety for human life for a single hour; and
some time or other-some Sunday, or Fourth
of July, or grand celebration day-there will
be catastrophe on one of these boats that will
appal the entire community. They habitually
run crowded beyond their capacity, and there
are no visible means on board Of saving soli-
tary life in case of any accident occurring.
The sooner some other mode of conveyance
to Staten Island is adopted the better for the
safety of the community.

THB GREAT EASTERN EXCITEMENT DYING
OuT.-One Of the most forcible illustrations of
the mutability of the public mind. and the ra-
pidity with which great popular excitements die
out, is furnished by the case of the Great
Eastern. Few events have ever occurred in
New York which called forth a heartier demon
stration of enthusiasm than the arrival of the
monster ship in our harbor. The people turned
out in thousands from every quarter of the
city when her coming was announced. and gave
her an impromptu ovation when she made her
appearance steaming up the bay. While she
lay at our wharves not less than hundred and
fifty thousand people visited her, aud they came
from all points, by railroad and steamboat, to
enjoy the privilege of examining her immense
proportions On her first excursion in Ame-
rican waters, to Cape May, on Monday last,
fully hundred thousand people witnessed her
departure. Along the whole line, from her
moorings to the Battery, the piers and shipping
and housetops were crowded with eager spec
tators; guns Numbered from all sidee, and o
feet Of steamers and boats of every size and rig
accompanied her; while every available spot
on the Long leland shore and on Staten Island
vas darkened with groups Of admiring
visitants. Nothing could exceed the excite
ment Of that dag.
But with her departure, amid all this enthu-
sissm, public curiosity seemed to have died out;
the Great Eastern sensation was evidently over;
for when che returned in two days afterwards,
she regaiped her moorings without the least
display on the part of the people. Few knew
that she had returned at ALL and still fewer ap.
peared to care whether she had or not
Yesterday she made her second excursion.
starting for Annapolis Roads, whittier she goes
at the earnest solicitation Of our Southern
neighbors, who offered the directors the hand
some inducement of $4,000 worth of coal for
Der homeward voyage in order to give the
citizens of the sleepy city of Annapolis and
Baltimore, Norfolk, Washington aud the ada
cent places, an opportunity to gladden. their eyes
with sight Of the monster Of the deep. A very
peculiar and Enthusiastically American ar
rangement it was, too. The sailing of the big chip
yesterday presented a remarkable contrast to
the scene of Monday or to that of her first arrival.
There was literally no excitement on the occa-
sion. She took only one hundred passengers
instead Of two thousand who went on her to
Cape May, and these were principally South
erners, who took this novel mode of going home
There were not more than about two hundred
people on the pier to witness her departure; no
feet of excursion boats accompanied her, and
altogether the affair was perfectly fat and de-
void of all enthusiasm. This Il certainly
striking evidence Of the sudden decline of the
Great Eastern sensation.

CONVENTION WITH CosrA RIcA.-A special
bearer of dispatches from Hon. Alexander
Dimitry, Minister to Costa RIGA, arrived here in
the steamer yesterday from Aspinwall, with the
Convention lately concluded with President
Montealegre for the settlement, by joint COM
mission. to sit at Washington, of the claims of
our citizens against the government of Costa
RIGA. We learn that the Convention was con-
cluded on the Cd of July sent to the Congress
at San Jose on the 9th, and approved by that
body on the 18th Of the came mouth This
PROM ton on the part of the government Of
Costa Rica presents an example worthy of imi-
tation by our own Congress. 1t is stated that
the claims presented amount, on their face, to
very nearly six hundred thousand dollars. The
readiness with which Mr.. Dimitry has obtained
this convention for the examination and settle
ment of these claims, shows the propriety Of our
government sending person as Minister who
is something more than professional politi-
clan, and the example could be initiated with
advantage in some Of the other Spanish Ameri
can republics.

AGRICULTURAL FARs.-Withn o few years
past the agricultural interests Of the country
bave been greatly uidro py TIE urau, vs agri-
cultural fairs and shows, at which not only the
products Of the field, cereal and vegetable, and
horses and cattle, have been exhibited to the
public, but every new invention connected with
cultivation has been brought to the notice Of
the farmer
Not alone have We our great national fair,
but we have also our State fairs, county fairs,
and even town fairs, in every quarter Of the
Union. The value OF exhibitions of this charac-
ter cannot be over appreciated. They are more
instrumental in spreading knowledge Of agri.
cultural science, as we'll as creating generous
rivalry among our farmers, than any other
means which could be adopted. The finest
breed Of horses, the best cattle and sheep, the
rarest poultry, aud the richest specimens of
grain, green crops and fruits, are always to be
found at these fairs. The amount Of money
expended upon them, for prizes and for getting
them up, cannot fall short of from half mil
lion to million of dollars annually.
This subject is recalled to mind just now by
the fact that we have received an invitation to
the Indiana Agricultural State Fair to be held
in the city Of indianapolis on the 18th Of
October, at which premiums to the amount Of
$4,000 are offered by the Board. 1t is proba-
BILE that all the agricultural fairs this year will
receive q greatly Increased interest, and will
attract more numerous attendance than ever,
in consequence Of the extraordinary abundance
Of the crops. The farmers are elated at the
prospect OF the harvest, they feel rich in ad
vance Ia contemplation Of their well stored
gamers, aud will. no doubt. visit the fairs in
much larger numbers than usual.

However, no matter what fault finding there
may be with the arrangements for comfon on

with regard to the officers of the ship They
did their duty well and faithfully, and 80 did

to entertain the passengers properly rests upon
the purveyor, who had no idea of what excur-
