RETURN OF THE SCIENTIFIC C0RPs.-Mr.
Simon Newcombe, of the astronomical corps
from Cambridge College, sent out to Fort
Edmonton to observe the eclipse of the sun
on the 18th of last July, returned to this
city Wednesday evening, and went down on
the steamer ALEXANDRA yesterday morning.
A long time having elapsed since any IT,
dings had been received at Cambridge of
the expedition, some anxiety was felt for the
safety of the gentlemen composing it, and
letters were received from Lieut.. Davis, of
the coast survey, asking that inquiries might
be instituted, to learn of their whereabouts
and condition. They came to this city all
the distance from Fort Edmonton by land,
and were subjected to many delays, and had
altogether very tedious journey. They
were bearded, and embrowned by the sun,
and could not we'll be recognized as Swans
Of the results Of the expedition, we were
only informed that it was as successful as
could have been expected. The morning of
the eclipse opened the same as in st. Paul,
with violent shower, but before the occul.
tation commenced the clouds were dispersed,
and the sun shone brightly during the whole
period of time embraced in tie observations.

The Fort Garry Nor'Wester notices the
arrival at that settlement of the brigade of
carts which left st. Paul on the 9th and
9th of July. 1t numbered one hundred and
ninety-nine vehicles of all descriptions, and
the main body arrived in the settlement at
the beginning of this month. The remain.
der of the carts went round by the Noun

bina, and came in few days later. The
party made On the whole satisfactory
journey, reaching Red River without loss or
accident. When in motion they covered
mile of ground. At st. Paul, we are in

al intending settlers of French origin. Some
of them were old inhabitants of Red River.
They had left this country many years ago,
but were again returning in company with

The PROSPECTS OF TRADE IN ST.. LOUIS
This FALL.-By the politeness of one of
our leading business firms on the levee,
(Messrs. Borup & Champlin,) we have been
permitted to make extracts from their St.
Louis correspondence, which confirm the
opinion heretofore expressed in this paper,
that with fair stage of water in the river,
the st. Louis Market will attract very
large amount of the products of Minnesota.
The letter is dated September ID.
Owing to very low water and the consequent
high rates of freight South, our produce market
has been rather dull, but we notice no change
in the price of wheat. Spring and Club, $l@
LILO; superine -four, $5@5.O5, q decline of S
to 10 cents.
The river cannot continue as low as at pres.
ent long, and We look for much lower freights
soon, and corresponding advance in our mar.
ket, as freights decline. Produce, in our cpin.
ion, can hardly 60 lower than at present.
Below will be found extracts from letters
of previous date:
The last steamer from Europe reports the
weather very unfavorable for the crops. and
considerable advance in all kinds of breadstuff
especially in wheat, -four and corn. The crops
in England and Central Europe are beyond
doubt, short, and with the very short crops, in
the Southern States, prices must no doubt rule
higher, and our proximity to all the Southern
markets, and cheaper freights from New Or.
leans than New York, to Europe, our market
will, beyond doubt, rule much higher than
those of the lakes.
The ships coming to New Orleans for cotton
have to carry heavy ballast on account of the
light weight of the cotton, and as grain or -four
is as good and even better ballast than sand or
stone, they will throw their ballast and take
grain or -four instead.

Local A fairs.
s1inn.sot. state Fair.

CIRCULAR OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
To the People Of Minnesota:
The time for holding the Annual State
Fair is near at hand. Those who have been
charged with the duty of making the ar
rapgeinents to give effect to the enterprise
have nearly completed their labors. The
Fair grounds are beautiful in location, and
easy of access from every part of the State.
Commodious halls (about four hundred feet
in length are ready for the reception Of
manufactured articles, the productions of
our fields and gardens, forests and mines,
specimens of fine arts and objects of taste.
Comfortable quarters have been provided
for all live stock which may be exhibited.
Arrangements have been made to accom-
modate large number of persons who may
desire board and lodging at the Fort during
the Fair.
We are cheered by the general interest
which seems to pervade the whole State,
and which betokens general attendance of
the people, and consequently successful
Fair. A number of entries of blooded stock,
valuable machinery and useful articles have
already been made. We therefore appeal
with confidence to every man and woman
in the State, who may be engaged in indus
trial pursuits, to unite their efforts with ours
in giving effect to the objects of the Fair.
There are thousands of our people pos
sessiDg articles of their own production,
specimens of their own skill, of which they
may justly be proud. The productions of
the farm, garden and dairy, as well as of the
mechanics shop, and of household industry,
however humble, if useful or ornamen tai
should be sent. They are just what are
wanted. Do not think they are unworthy
of exhibition, and that others will send
better. A fair representation from every
department of industry, will exhibit the
progress of our State. All can do some
thing; and it should be remembered that it
is the UNITED EFFORT OF ALL the people,
which gives life, energy, and substantial
value to the honorable competition of a
State Fair.
Products are the result of labor. Labor
guided by experience gives skill, and skillful
labor gives increased and superior products.
A comparison of the products Of labor from
every part of the State, begets inquiry as
to how superior articles are produced, and
awakens new zeal and consequent i'm.
provement, and enables each to profit by
the aggregate experience of the whole.
To bring together the best specimens of
animals, of the products of the earth, OF me.
chanical skill, and of art, Fairs, like ours,
were instituted.
We have now done our part. The result
is with you, and we hope the display at the
Fair will rebound to the credit of the people
and the State.
By order of the Executive Committee,
WIN. F. WHEELER,
General Superintendent.

Mr.. Douglas at Syracuse.
Gvp crrar Sonf

SYRACUSE, Sept. IL.
Mr.. Douglas arrived here yesterday from
Clifton Springs. Upon his arrival, and
during the day be has been in reception Of
honors. His speech embraced some new
arguments on points not before touched
upon by him. He explained that the diff
erence between Popular Sovereignty and
Squatter Sovereignty, was that Squatter
Sovereignty is outside the Constitution,
and in rebellion against the Federal
Government while Popular Sovereignty
is inside the Constitution, and in obedience
to the Federal Authority. Jeferson's plan
for the government of Territories, which
was adopted in 1854, was the finest recog-
milton of the right of Popular Sovereignty.
