Md; Neary Wager, Wm ren B Conger,N.Y; F. Smith, Joba P_ Haie. H; W.L. Under- wood, Ky ; Chas. B.

W. P. Custis of Virginia, Sur- gwyn of North Carolina, Taylor of Alabama, De Bow of Louisiana, Spencer of Indiana, Mal- lory of Kentucky, Bell of Tennessee, Weston of Wisconsin, McLane of California, Pickhard of Maine, and Seaman of Michigan. On the lists of its members was to be found the bames of many of the most distinguished men in the nation, and it would compare favorably in this respect with any institation in the country. The objects of the Society, as declared by the Preamble to its constitution, were to improve the Ticulture of the country by attracting attention. eliciting the views, and confirming t efforts the great class composing the agricultural com. munity, and to secure the advant of a bet- ter organization and more extende usefulness among all State, county, and other agricultural societies. ‘The first annual meeting was held on the 2d of February, 1853. since which t! had been regu- larly continned. The first number of the trans- actions was issued in August, i852, and was con- tinued Raney for the first year, since which time its Issue had been annual. ‘The first fair was held on the 17th of October, 1 at Spring- field, Mass.

It would thus be seen that tle Society has its distinct sphere of operations, within which it« Proceedings had been steadi Y conducted. and that it afforded a common ground on which those of every shade of opini n could meet as brethren ia the prosecution of a common interest. The speaker regretted that no action bad yet been taken by the Society with a view to obtain- ing aid from the Government in carrying out Its objects. Expressing a belief that the Soci: ty had given good evidence that RY assistance from the Government would not be unwortbily bestowed, and thata disposition to foster and encourage it existed all over the countr among the members of the National Legi« Wisconsin, District of Columbia, Minnesota, Kansas, and Arazoua. President Tilghman then delivered bis anaual address He began by saying: Gentlemen of the United States Agricultural Seciety, you are now assembled for the seventh time, to review the events of the past season, ard to make arrange- ments for that which is to follow. In several respects, this period has been the most eventful in the history of the societ He proceeded to speak of the CHANGE OF OFFICERS, saying that first among these, in order of timeas well as importarce, was the retirement of the fate President, Hon. Marshal P. Wilder, whose zealous participation in the formation of the so- ciety. as well as enlivhtened administration of its effairs, bad contributed so largely to its nse- fulness and suecess. The change in the herd had been accompanied bya similar ebange in the executive committee, Jeaving the destinies of the society in the trust of new and untried bands Mention was made of the establishment last Year of the efice of the society, situated over ‘Todds hat store on Pennsylvania, with a view of giving to ita more definite position than that heretofore orcupied The speaker spoke in this connection of the subsequent establishment of the MONTHLY BULLETIN, edited by the Secretary, under the direction of the executive committee ; of the establishment by this means of regular comn u : ication withtie various members, with the va:ious Agricultural and Horticultural Societies in this conntry, Can- | 4, ada, and Europe, thereby making the office a de- pository of the current information of the dav, and giving farmers, visiting the city, facilities not ove sieges yey In the same connection the speaker stated that a commencement bad been made towards the formation of a library, and acollection of models and other articies of interest which had mad the rooms of the society an object of attraction to all agriculturists ‘The president went on to speak of the SIXTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION, beld in Richmond, Va , in October last, of its unqualified success under disadvantages and ad- verse circumstances so great as had marked the past agricuitural season. He said in this connec. tien: “Had the fair been entirely under the control of the United States Society, the net pro- fits could have been considerably augmented by the experience of the Society in the Management of such exhibitions. I recommend that in future the fairs shail not be keld in connection with other societies, except on condition that the Uni- ted States Society shall have the exclusive man- agement, and shall employ its own officers and agents;”’ and, also, “ I desire toexpress my sense of the uniform courtesy of the officers of the Vir- givia Central Agricultural Saciety, and suggest that 2 resolution expressive cf this sentiment be —s and communicated to that society.”’ Al- inding to a new feature which characterized the preosctiogs of the late fair, viz: the introduc- jon of agricultural addresses on each da upon the exhibition grounds, the speaker said: “2 recommend that in {nture more Prominence be given to these discussions, and a competent re- porter be employed to record them for publica- tien. Lal-o recommend the a peintment of an edditional officer, to be called the + Superintend- ent,’ who wou'd be entrusted with the manage- ment of the exhibitions under the direction of the President and Executive Committee, and who stould also have charge of all preliminary ar- rangements His compensation to be per diem whilst employed with duties of his office, besides bis traveling and other necessary expenses.”? Io speaking of the MEDALS AND PREMIUMS awarded at the late Fair, the address states that they are ready for delivery; and recommends that in future premiams for machinery and imple ments should be paid partly in money and partly in medals and plate instead of bein: confined to the latter, as a means of peeing a larger num- ber of contributions, and of giving them an in- creased degree of importance The address then goes on to discuss, in a few interesting paragraphs, the subject of the TRUS (BIECT OF FAIRS, saying : ‘‘ They are intended to elevate the atand- =a pe Fol ewe im agricultural prodactions and processes, and increase the amount of egricultu- ral information tn various parts of the country, by carrying into each, successively, articles of a superior quality, and in some instances of a dif. f-reot kind from those pocety exbibited at local fairs; and, second y, to disseminate in- formation in regard to tbe improvements and in stitutions et each portion of the conntry amon citizens of the other portions, by inducing inde viduals and delegations from remote sections, to congregate in a degree which the local fairs, however important, do not seem eifert.”” THE PATENT OFFICE REPORT Upon this subject the = ‘ker said that the un- ate barmouy which hed heretofore pre- vailed between the United States A ultural Selety aod ail the other agricultural institutions in the country bad been as highly gratifving as it was calculated to advance the iuterests of the greet cause in which they were all engaged as fellow-laborers. It was, therefore, with a feel- ing of the deepest regret that he bad seen forthe firet time during the past season an evid: ace of a coutrary disposition and tbat too in warter where he should least bave expected a: most Dave regretted it. In the annual cA pa of the agticaltural division cf th Patent Office for 1857, recently issued, the first article was upon the “Progress of po ncn al apd purported to give a history of alt the principal agricultural Societies In the country he author of that arti- cle was Mr D J. Browne, whois the superin- teadent of the division and who was a member of the executive committee of the United Staies Agricultural Society for that year. The entire omission of the United States Agricultural Soci- ety from such an article could scarcely be regard- an accidental. more especially as the same volume contained a report, entitled “Report of the United States Agricultural Society,” on the Chiuese suyar-cane, made by Mr. Browne, as cuairman of a committee of the society. This report contained accounts of experiments made wader bis direction with seed which were im- ported from France by him at the expense and oa account of the United States Agricultural So- ciety, and was accompanied by au extended eor- Tespondence on the subject, which was pre- Samed to be that referred to Jn the report, and yet no credit was given to the society tor either the approp:iation or the correspondence. ‘The records of the Society afforded numerous instances in which it bad co-operated with the Department, ard in no instance had it either declined to do so when uested, or failed to ive the Department its full share of the credit & each particular case. It was, therefore, a cause of profound regret to have experienced such 2 want of courtesy from Officer of the Government connected with Department for which this Society entertained the highest re- spect, and with which tt desired to cherish the most friendly reiations. ‘The fact, however, that such an omission had been made, and the frequent ingulries ia regard to the Society, would seem to jostify the iniro- duction of a brief synopsis of its organization re te earnestly recommended an early application 'o Congress for thin Purpose, in the manner which they might deem to be most available An application for an act of incorporation had already been made to the Present Congress, and Was still before tbat body In conclusion, the speaker called the attention of the Society to the subject of the Mount Vernon fund, and recommended an appeal to the farmers of America to raise a subscription of SI each, to be applied to the fund for the purchase of that © tate ‘The address, at its close, was received with great enthusiasm.

Ray was arrested on achargeof malicious mischief. It appeared at the trial tbat the de- fendant bad, nearly a year ago, rented a house from Mr. Jobn Johnson, agreeing to pay him 1 69 per month rent, and in case he did not pay Promptly to pay $5 per month. This rent was paid up tothe ist of Angost last, when the rent fell in arrears, and has remained in thal state tversince. Johnson gave the tenant notice te quit several times, which hint he did not think proper to comply with. Officer Watson was sent to him with a bill for the rent; and he informed that official that if Johnson would give him a re- ceiptinfull forthe rent he would give up the key and exit. About three week: 0 he vacated, carrying away his chattels, and, after locking up the house, and, 8 barricading all the windows, and breaking the locks of the doors so as to eff-ctua ly stop ingress except by force Johnson thereupon had a war- rant Issued and Mr. Ray bronght up to answer to the above charge. The defendant at the trial maintained that he still held the house in posses- sion by virtue ofa three-legged chair with no back to it Which remained inthe building after he left, and which article of furniture he contended was as much an evidence of tenantcy theugh he was still living there. The justice, however, differed from Mz. Ray upon this legal Point, and held him to bail for bis appearance at the crim- inal court to answer the charge of maliciously destroying Mr Jobnson Property. Master U. Leake, a bellicose javentle, threat. ened to knock the “Irish bead” otf Mr. John Murpby’s should: whereupon Mr. Murphy had the youngster arrested and bound over to keep the peace generally, and in a particular sense with reference to the head of Mr. Murphy, during a space of six months. Tue Turatre —It was evident, last night, that the President's Reception, (it being the first of the season,) bed drawn somewhat from the usual audience atthe Theatre. However, a re- spectable sized audience was present, and the rformance was exellent of its kind. Mr. banfrau’s imitations of prominent actors, par- ticularly, were themselves inimitable and irre- sistivbly amusiog. Mrs. Chanfrau is one of the prettiest aud most vivacious actresses that bas ever appeared on the Washington boards. Free from all affectation, she enters fully into the spirit of her parts, and performs them with a naturalness and vivacity truly admirable. The performance to-night is Rob Roy and the Debutante. As there is no levee the house will no donbt be crowded to overflowing, and we ad vise those intending to take ladies to secure 5 before night.

A goodly gudience was present, and the exercises were of a deeply interesting character. Rev. Dr. Danforth opened the exercises by read- ing the 78th hymn, beginning— “ Stand up my soul, sbake off thy fears, And gird the Gospel armor on,”* which was sung; after which rayer was ad- dressed to the Throne of Divine Grace by the - Dabney Ball read ion of the 3d chapter of Proverbs, ining at the verse, ‘Happy Js the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.” The President submitted his annual report of the condition of the Association, and a history of its tions during the ir just closed. After speaking of the revival spirit manifested through- out the land during the year, and of the large namber brought into church under its influence, the report speaks of similar associations ti mgh- out various ions of the country whic! we had united participation in the noble work as- signed them. “If,” says the report, “our own association has not borne as conspicuous a part in the work as sister associations, itis not for want of any interest or zeal on the part of the mirhe report alludes 1 Ch e report al encouragingly to the Chris- tian zeal with which daily prayer meetings have been established and maintained by the associa- tion and by the various churches, and of their bappy results in the conversion of numbers who, in their turn, have labored faithfully in the Re- mer’s cause. ‘The mission schools have,” says the report, ‘‘ been more widely extended, and their influence more generally felt than heretofore.” (Here re- ports were read from the different schoois, show- ing how bappily bad resulted the efforts of the association which had been directed to that ob- ject.) The report next | apr a glowing descrip- tion of the convention of the confederated asso- ciations of the United States and the British Provinces, held at Charleston, 8. C » in April last, and of the unanimity of the members from all parts of the country, and of multifarious po- litical sentiments in the common object for which they had assembled Coming back to our own city the report speaks in terms of high congratulation of the success of the open air meetings held in the First Ward, ‘he Northern Liberties, Capitol Hill and on the Isiand, during a portion of last summer and fall ; of the large and attentive gat rings upon the Preaching of the word, and of the certain knowl- edge that by their instrumentality many were led to think seriously upon their spiritual condition. The report goes on to describe the arrangement of the membership of the Association into branches and divisions, and of the dividing of the city into districts, with one division of the Association in each district in order to give system to the operations of the board of manage- ment. The number of new members added to the Association during the past year, is stated to be inuch larger than during any previous year since its formation. Affectionate mention is made of tne paxsage of some of the valuable members of the Association during the same time to the spirit world, where they rest after their labors. During last September the Assocjation received @ call from their brethrea in New Orleans for material aid, which call was Promptly responded to by the brethren here, and the sum of $350 Te- mitted to their suffering friends inthe distant city. Pleasing mention is made of a visit by the As- sociation to the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion of Alexandria in December last, and of the interesting interchange of co-operative senti- ments which was bad during that visit. The report next discusses the circumstances attending the removal of the rooms of the Asso- ciation to the present locality, and describes the ceremonies attending their dedication on the night of the &th of December last. The report States that this was the best movement ever made by the Association since its organization, by reason of the central locality and consequeat arceptibility. The lecture room of the Associa- tion is now so extensive as to accommodate an audience of five hundred persons, and the libra- ty and reading rooms are filled to overtiowing with the best foreign and domestic literature. Reviewing the field of labor of the Association the resident sees every incentive to diligence and perseverance on the part of the members. The report of the Treasurer was then read, showing the total amount of money received du- riag the goed to be $1,742 91; total amount of ex- penses $1,300—leaving a balance in the treasury of $152 84 The President elect, Jos. H. Bradley, Jr , Esq , Was then introduced to the audience, and there- upon delivered his inaugural address, which was & model of its kind, but which the crowded state of our columns will not permit us to publish in this day’s issue. He was followed by Rev Mr Granbery, who delivered the anniversary ad- dress. ‘The exercises were concluded by singing the doxology by the congregation and the benedic- tion by Rev. Mr. Morseil. Tee Siok oF Stvastoro, —The panorama about to be exhibited here of the seige of Sevas- topol is an extraordinary thing in its way, be- yond all question. It has probably been visited by many thonsand more persons at the No:th than ever before visited such a work in this country, as may be judged from the following extract from the Philadelphia Evening Jonrnai on the subject: Sevastopol Taken—Who does not remember the excitement in this country consequent upon the announcement that ‘Sevastopol was taken.” If Uncle Sam bad have had his armies in the Cri- mea, scarcely a much greater interest could have been taken in the events there transpiring than was felt on this side of the water. If any one of onr readers tmazines that this interest has died out, and that the Crimean conflict is forgotten, tet him go to Concert Hall, any evening during this week, and see the throngs of people drawn thither | the mimic presentation of the Russian War, and our word for it, he will be convinced to the contrary. For five weeks. Sevastopo! !.as been taken nightly, before the admiring yaze of hundreds of our citizens; and in the successive scents there presented, with all the horrors of war brought in vivid imagery before them, they, in one hour and a half, live over the two years or more of exciting interest felt by each member of the community during the ever memorable struggle between Russia and the Ailied Powers. Every ineident ‘by flood and tield”” during this war is graphically Lesa : battles, sieges, bombardments, storms, shipwrecks. &c » follow in rapid succession, and the peholder can alinost fancy himself amidst the contlict, sharing with the participators therein, their emotions, bopes, and fears. This exhibition is a splendid one. aad has been constructed regardless of expense. It should be seen by every man, woman, and child in the community. The illustratious are historically and geographically correct, and em- body more interesting events than any exhibition ever in our city. They will be open every evea- ing this week at Concert Hall. Tux Tarrp AnNvat Exarsition of the Wash- ington Art Association opened this morning with a larger and better (average) collection of Pictures than on the two previous exhibitions. Among the fine pictures that completely line the two exbibition rooms are contributions by Rothermel Paul Weber (whose fine pictures of last year will be remembered) Boutelle, E. W. Perry, Lewis Lang, Darrah, Hamilton, E White, Mignot, Jounson, Tait, Mason, Lamb- din, Stearnes, Leutze, Heine, Gi: noux, Rich- ards, Oddie, T. Bucbanan Read, Stanly, Hall, Waugh, Shoesscle, Kossiter, H. P Gray, Peele, and others, whose names do not occur tous. In the extremely cursory glance we have been able to give this collection, three pictures especially struck our attention: ‘The Last Sleep,” b: Lambdin, of Philadelphia; No. 85, a Winter Scene, by Gignoux; and 108, a Landscape, by Durand.
