DINNER sREECH BIZ CHARLEs DICKENa.
LONDON, April 5.-The news vendors held
their ANNUAL dinner this evening. Chas. Dick
ems presided, and on taking the chair in re-
Spouse 10 the vehement cheering with which
he was received, said that such enthusiasm
was unaccountable on any other theory than
that all present believed that he had once rid
den in the Lord Mayors coach, vehicle, how
ever, which he in common with his friends had
admired from the pavement. His position to.
night was less than of guest than Of entertain
err Like Falstaff, with a difference as large as
the fat man himself, he was to be less speak
ef himself than the cause Of speech in others /;
or he was like tobacconist's highlander gorg-
ed with snuff, pointing the wayfarer to the re.
serves in DOORS There was no better proof of
the universally of the newsmans vocation
than that no toast would be offered tonight.
None might, could, would or should bo offered
anywhere which would not have connection
with some one of the topics of human interest
reported by him daily. How, asked Mr.. Dick.

mentally but substantially. Other speeches

The STATE FAIR.-We fear that our Port
land authorities are not active enough in max
ing proposals for the holding of the Fair of the
State Agricultural Society in this PLACE. If
they are, they keep very still about it, while
Lewiston, Bangor and Bath are actively COM
petiDg for the honor of entertaining the State
at the great annual festival. We learn from
the Bath Times that the Sagadahoc Agricul-
tural Society have responded to the proposition
Of the State Agricultural Society relative to
the holding of the State Fair the coming sea-
son, and have rendered the use of their build
ings and grounds at Topsham for such pur-
pose, with the assurance that all the aid and
facilities necessary shall be rendered for the
accommodation Of exhibitions and visitors.
