VALUABLE AND LARGE CARao.-The American
Aship Hudson, Capt. POTTER, for Liverpool, which
}has been loading here for some time, cleared
fyesterday by Messrs. WILLIS & CHIsoLM, with the
largest cargo of the season, consisting Of 113
bales Sea Island Cotton and 1865 bales Upland
Cotton. The Hudson is very superior mer-
chantman, and makes frst-rate cotton carrier,
as will be noticed from the size Of her cargo.
THE FA1R.-The ladies Of tho Fair have yielded
to the urgent request of throngs that still
crowd their beautiful hall, and have consented to
\ close the Fair tonight, with a final e. hi
bition of their inimitable tableaux. The hail.
though void Of some of the costly splendor that
graced it at it's first opening, is still beautiful

4 yious night. The tableaux we'll selected and ad-
mirably rendered; Miss squeers administering
/ the sulphur and molasses, on the plea of cure
or prophylactic OF sca6ies, but really to<reduce
the appetites Of the young disciples Of the York
shire seminary. The acting capital; few
would have recognized the angel of the previous
night in the termagant Miss Squeers tonight;
| and the little scamps swallowed the dose with
such extremely natural wry faces and coptortons,
] that tho audience was convulsed with laughter.
Taking the Veil was the next tableau also very
| fine. And tho new nun looked charming; in fact,
4 as if nun she WAS none.
Norma was re-enacted at the general request OF
those who had not witnessed it the first time. The
beautiful Miss P. looked up most beseechingly at
the relentless Norma and sang the "Hear me,
Norma" as no other cantatrice in this city could
equal. This was rare treat. The Fair is much
indebted to the indefatgable labors Of this young
lady for large measure Of its success.
Mrs. CHAPLIN aud others, we will not name at all
this morning. As the Fair is to terminate tonight,
we shall have an opportunity of recapitulating all
that is worthy of record. And with this promise
we close, and wait till tonight
