The great Fair at Rochester has broken up in a general row between the city and State com- mittecs, about the disposition of the surplus funds; but the Rocheeter people have the advantage, having all in their own hands. The premiums, which were awarded yesterday, amounted to but an insigniGcant sum. The people of New Branswick are pushing ahead with great earnestness their works of internal im- Frovement, and the time is not far distant whea all the British North American provinces will be brought into close communication with the United States. A violent gale has oceurred on the coast of New- foundland, which caused great destruction among the shipping. It is said to be the most disastrous ) bieh has occurred on that coast for fifty yeurs Of a local character, there is very little of ic- terest. The fire in our city, yesterday, was more destruc- tive than any which has occurred for some time; but the perseverance of our citizens will soon repair all the damage that has been sustained, and it will not be felt in our general prosperous condition. The decisions in the Supreme Court, yesterday, do not involve any new principle, and are merely of importance to the people concerned. The difficulty between Gen. Wool ani Col. Webb seems to have excited considerable attention at Roebester, from the fact that the former refused an istroduction to the latter. ‘The Rochester State Fair—The Boston Rail- road Jucilce—Great Country. We are approaching the millenium. ‘The y of jubilees has come;” and after a few more seasons of revolution and reaction, we may expect the day of the prophets, in all ite brilliant sublimity. The year of our Lord, 1551, will be recorded by future historians as the year of jubilees—the year of the Crystal Palace—of the fétes of Paris—of the Roches- ter Agricultural State Pair, and the Boston Nail- road Jubilee. We must admit that the Crystal Palace is the most transparent humbug—the most comprehensive affair—the most successful specu- Jation of the season; that the glory, even of B num, is eclipsed by the glory of Prince Albert; that his grand exposition has led to tt profits to ali concerned, great results, great discoveries, and great triumphs of American skill, ingenuity, and enterprise. We must claim, however, that next in importance to the glass ba and in the brillianey of their success, stand State Fair and the Boston Jubilee tical considerations, they are equally inte ; and of more immediate importance to the people, no: alone of Massachusetts and New York, bat of the United States. ‘The annual Fair, for whick the Empire State | #0 justly celebrated, has far surpassed, this seaso: in the display of stock, agricultural products, im plements, improvements, wonders, and curi any previous exhibition of the kind in the United Seater. There bas never been anything like i:— Botbing so prowlly conclusive of the # sources and capebilities of this great State in agri- culture—nothing balf so gr of the improve and progress in the e farming, ae have & | Rochester Lahit 2 ’ tival drawn together exch a multitudinous assem blege of the people one and sisew of the | country—¢tbe farmers, the busy mat.cons, the inda trious and blooming da tricts.” Never, we co there been upon the face o: festival of equal magnitude, such a grat tying ox- hibition of our universally diffused element € fort, bappiness and prosperity. Our corres; accustomed to euch evenes of wretcbeds destitution as chi @ the fairs of Luro, wee countries, is very naturally struck with the uniy wal possession, by so vast @ multitude, of all the* comforts of life. He says that in thie concourse of One bundred thousand persons, “there was not a regged buma og aor a beggar to be seen.” Hach are some of of room, and a fine clim under the practical Working of our federal constitution. Another interesting feature of the lloohes hibition isin the Lt wumber of politicians which it concentrated at that place fn adddition to Gov Hant, ex-Governor Marcy, ¢x-Governor Morton of Massachusetts, Governor Wright of Indiana, Gon Wool, Gon. Webb, and Morace Gresiey, and others, the Old Dominion herself was represented by ex-President Tyler, the seme John Tyler who, in his retirement, had alunost been forgotten, and aii results of a fertile soil, plenty | } his troubles with the whige, from his vetoes of the beri ond the Fiscal Corporation.

There were no special | In conclusion, while the F the best medium of all parties; but if a special noe of | Organ is required to grind particular muvis, either er at this | the govermment or the party must pay the piper and made s goed speech for Virginia the Union. And it is highly probable we may not bear of him again for twelve months, so quietly in this country does the chief magistrate step down from his official pre-eminence into the shades of pri- vate life. Martin Van Buren and Joho, it appears, were among the absentees. Perhaps it was part of their deep laid game for 1852. The chief of the in- | vited guests was the orator of the day—Senator | Dovglas, of Iinois, who is up for the Presidency. Perhaps this accounts for the absence of the Sage of Lindenwald and the Prince. At all events, the address of Judge Douglas will aid materially in ad- vancing his claims for the Baltimore nomication. His position before his party and his country will give a prominent position to the address among the knowledge embodied in this address cannot fail to have a favorable influence in behalf of its author. We therefore think that the Judge has apprepri- ated the political capital of the State Fair, not- withstanding General Wool reviewed the troops, and spoke in favor of the militia. The Boston Jubilee, from day to day, has been more minutely described in our columns than the | Fair. It was & novelty—a jubilee in fact ; and mag” nificent, vast, and multitudinows, from first to last. ‘The arrangements had something of the magnitude and elegance about them for which Paris is so dis- tinguished, blended with all the practical efficiency» decorum, and solid enthusiasm which belong to the Yankees. i The political bearings of this tkree days’ car- nival ere not very elearly defined. ‘rom the inter- changes of comptiments, however, between Lord Elgin and the other distinguished guests ‘from Cemada, New Brunswick, #ad Nova Scotia, en the one ‘hand, and the Bostonians and the Presidert on the other, there appear to be eo impedimenteto the re-annezetion of the British pro- opinions <xpressed on the subject; but from the harmony-of feeling between the Yankees and her Majesty's subjects, we should suppose that both partiee were ripe for the incorporation of the adjoin- ing provinces into this great confederacy. We pre- sume, on the other band, that as far as the secces- sions concerned, the visit of the President and his Cabfnet to the celebration will have little induence inthe State. Things will take their course asifno such invasion of the State had ever occurred. The | speeches, all round, were the good old song of the Union, to which, of course, the people will respond amen. The speech of Mr. Webster bears bis usual strong foot prints—the others were as common-plase as the extreme of caution could make them. Ne doubt Boston realized something from the Jubilee; but the state of parties is such in Massachusetts, that there was no opening for the politicians. it Rochester was | more practical, the Boston Jubilee was more at- | tractive, from its novelties. Both have been of un- precedented magnificence and maguitude, and both are strictly exemplifications of the resources, the enterprise, the progress, and the prosperity of the country. 4 Tue Case or Henry Carnet —The oxtraordi- nary circumstances connected with the stay of the execution of this convict, furnish a theme for wide discursion ameng lawyers and laymen. After a convict has been sentenced to any other punishment than that of death, and his counsel advise that there was crror on his trial, he is entitled, by right, to a writ of error, upon which to argue a motion for new trial, and the Supreme Court Judge may grant a stay of sentence, if he thinks fit, by writing an order to that effect upon the writ of error. In the case of a convict sentenced to be hung, his counsel cannot obtain a writ of error by right, but must apply to a Supreme Court Judge for it, who may refuse it if he choose. But when a Judge grants such a writ of error, the statute in regard to capital cases being silent as to staying execution, it is the province of the executive to interpose a re- grieve, or respite, which operates in the same man- ner as the stay of the Judge in ordinary cases. We subjoin the provisions of the statute in criminal rates — In the Revieed Statutes, the 15th sec., p. 747, says. — Xo gu ¢, Court. or officer other than the Governor, cuthen of any convict seutenved. to th the eases and in the manrer (Dbese provisions are in cases of Pregnancy. &e } Write ct error upon judgments rendered on dictment for death except Sheriffs. i hereinafter provide teanity Be le notice given Attorney of the Attorney General. or to the Distriet the county where the conviction shall have been had, and no other officer than such as are herein enume raced, shall be empows red to allow such writs. The application for a writ of error in the case of Carvel, wat made to Judge Ira Harris, oa the 16th inst., without notice to the “ District Attorney of the county where the conviction was had,” but on uotice to Mr. Attorney General Chatfield, who kuew nothing of the case, and who, it appears, acted ia it without advising with Mr. Blunt. If the power exercised by Judge Harris, in thus interfering with the executive prerogative, be law- ful, then that power is in the hands of thirty-two Supreme Court Judges in this State, and may, upon an almost cx parte statement, be used to beftle and defeat the ends of justize in every in- stance. New Denocratic Or@an.—We understand that @ vigorous effort is making for the establishment of a Lew democratic organ for the city of New York. it is a fact, and a singular fact, that every organ fore established, or recognized by Tammany ived a miserable life, and died a mise- able death—a life of destitution and a death from starvation. If it were worth the trouble, the causes nf this inevitable fatality might be given; but they are well understood, and appear at last to be com- hended to tome extent by the sachems of the party. We learn that several thousand dollars bave been subscribed for the new paper, and that | t every prospect of a good capital in money ; but unless there is also the indie capital of tact, telent, enterprise, in- | dustry, energy and activity, there is no chance for t. A poor paper can’t live long in New York; a gcod paper—especially a democratic Tammany Hail paper—requires all the capital we have speci- | fied, and all the patience of Job.
