Doings of the First Days SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF JHE HERALD. Usion Hatt, Saratoca Sraixas, Sept. 20—P, M. The thirteesth annual exbibitfoa of the agriciltural nd mechanical products of the State, under the auspices @f the State Agricultural Society, was to commence this day; but the very heavy rain whieh commenced falling last night bas continued to pour dewn merciloarly to this time, and has proved « very serious drawback to tho whole affair. The grounds wi'l be opencd to the publis to-morrow meraing. If not extirely ruiaed by the rain, whioh it is feared will continue. the exhibition promires to be one of the finest ever given In the State. But the torrents of water which has poured down during the last twelve heurs bas put s diepiriting air on everything and everybody. The streets are three inches deep with mud» pedestrianism is dangerous if uet impossible, The only moving fgures upon the great panorama of dullness are the backmea, who rush sbout im Iodia rubber coats, charging double fares, and apparently as much delighted asa Newfoundland dog on the seashore. The hetels are quite full, and the visitors seem like so many State pris- oners. Some flirt wiih the ladies, othors read the papers over and over agein, varying the operation with rhort walks upom the piszza, while ethers, with their feet upoa ‘& window alll, gave dorpondingly at the toes of their boots, as if wondering where they should get another pair after those were worm out. The excursion trains from Troy, which were to have been so crowded, are runaing empty, and if the weather is not more genial to merroy the Fair will bee failure as far as attendance is concernsd. Your cerrespoadent has been jolted up to the grounds and back again. The enclosure for the exhibition is situ- ated about a mile east of the village, upon the land of Madame Jumel, the widow of Aaron Burr. The spase en- closed is about twenty acros, encircled by » beautiful rove on the north and west sides. It is watered by ‘means of s reservoir of ove hundred hogshesds capacity: inte which the water is forced by a pewerful hydraulic ram. There are numerous “shows” in the visinity of the ground, including two cirous companies; and the buildings for the purposes of the exhibition, together with the tents and booths erected for the amusement of the visiters, give the scene the appearance of a village of itself, The entrance of the grounds {s at the “business office,”” a substantial two story wooden building, Oa the lower floor there were s dozen secretaries busily engaged in making eatries of articles which were continually ar- riving—horees and caitle, Shanghae fowls, feed choppers, orn planters, churns, ploughs, potatoes, pateh work quilts, eooking stoves, fruits, flowers, woollen stockings, bou- aon Of the celebrated Morgan horre, which li: twenty. two years, and from whexce sprung the line of cele- brated horses now 20 well known for their speed and dottom.

The Poiter Family, and the Plates and Authorities of Cubs, AN UNPUBLISHED CHAPTER OF AMERICAN NAVAL HISTORY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, It appears that the Havana Diario has been amusing itself ia abusing ‘‘all the Porters.” A short history of events in which this family have been connected with the Island of Cuba, may not be uninteresting just at this moment. . : In the year 1808, or thereaboute, several vesrels were cruising in the Gulf ef Mexico against Spanish commerce; the Consulade of Hevana offered a large reward for the capture of these vessels, Commodore David Porter fitted out an expedition, captured them, and handed the crews ‘and vessels over to the Captain-General of Cuba; the former were executed, and the latter sold. With the pro- verbial honesty of the Governors of Cuba, the reward waa refused, er, at least disputed, on the ground that Commodore Porter, being an officer under the American government, was”bound to capture all pirates, (duibus- teroes:] but finally, after a long discussion, the debt of $80,C00 was admitted, but never paid. This claimon Cuba now amounts to the neat little sum of $290,000, Jn 1821, '22, 123, when the filliousteroes (pirates) were infesting the West Indies, and fitted out their crafts in the ports of Cuba, Commodore Porter was appointed by the government of the United States to command a squadron of fishing and bay craft—for they were nothing else—to sweep the West Indies of these Cuban fillibus- teroes. One of his very first acts was to inform the Cap- tain-General of Cuta of certain baunts of the pirates at the Inle cf Pines, and even at Regla. in the harbor of Havana. ‘The Captain-General refused to aid the American squadron in any way. The next atep of Commodore Porter was to fit out boats, capture the pirates fitting out at Regla, and aweep the coast of Cuba with his little vessels and boats. The it officers and seamen who manned them, in tora de hare fought battle, Moally succeeded in finding their haunts, capturing their ves:éls, and driv! these Cuban fillibusterces from the sea. The affair 01 Foxardo is too well known to make any comments at this time. This action of our governmen: sent him into the Mexican nsvy.

Io the Bay of Mariet he fell in with two Spanish briga, of ual force with himeelf, and in twenty miautes com- led them to surrender. While lowering his boat to take poscossion of them, a Spanish frigate hove ia sight, which compe'led him to haul off and prepare to moet his new antagonist. The frigate mounted fifty four heavy guns, with a crew of 550 persons on board; the brig, eighteen guns ard 120 officers and men. Tue Asiion be- tween them lasted two hourr and fifty-five minutes, or until the brig had expended all of her powcer. It falling calm, and Gptain Porter being billed, the brig sur: rendered, witn a loss of twenty killed and twenty wounded; the frigate had one hundred aad fift killed and wounded. Lieutenant D. D, the commander of the Golden Age, was midshipman on boerd the brig After the surrender, tie Spaviards, with their usual magnanimity, rifled the offi- cers and men of their valuables, money, &c, not even forgettirg the captain’s watob.'

There was at that-time held in bondage an Ameri: can citizen, a free colored man. The Consul ef the Uai- ted States, Willism Corbell, had endeavored to havo hia released, but without success.

The matter was investigated, the citizen rel and through the efforts of Mr. Corbell damages awat him. The late affeir of the Georgis, under command of Lieutenant D. D Porter, is already fresh in the minds of the reople. His dete:mined conduct on that occasion sealed the fate of all the Porters in the island of Cuba, with all future Captain-General’s of Cubs.

Mr. Iupags then offered up a prayer, after which the Rey. Dr. Bexsamin CO, Tayior, of Bergen, de- ilvered » meat eloquent address, in which he gave a re- troepective account of the progress of the Dutch Re- formed Church in North America from the time of the Grat settlers from Holland, From it we give the following extract, containing the history of the first Reformed Dutch Church in New Jersey: — The earliest attempt to constitute a Dutch Reformed Church in Jersey City was on April 28th, 1807, when Mesera. Cornelicon and Stryker informed the classia thet the inkabitante were desirous of havivg @ congregation formed under its jurisdiction, but which attempt, how- ever,gfailed at that time, Oo Jaoua: 1830, the peo then constituting the First Presbyterian Church In Jersey City being withoat a minister, by the removal of their pastor, the Rev, Mr, Olcott, were placed in oir- cumstances Which prompted the session aud trustess to take the necessary steps to andmit to the congregs- tion the propeletylot ‘becoming a Reformed{Dutsh Church, under the care of the classis.

Mr. Lord, who mioistered for about a year, and was suc- ceeded by the present pastor, the Rev. Mr. M:Clure. The Rev.

We bave already published a synopsis of the explana- tory Lote rent by the Porte, slong with the moditied uiti- rostum, to the Conference at Vienns. The following isa fall uanslation of the document in question :— THE PORTE’S EXPLANATION. The draft of note whico has been recently made at Vienpa and sent to the Sublime Porte has been read aud examized at the eoune:] 0 winisters. The one previously compored at Consiantinep!e ard forwarded to the great Powers under a form adapted to put sn 6nd to the differ- ences Gebers | between the Sublime Porte and Russia, ex- cited hopes of a satiefactory result. The government of bis Imperiel Mojesty the Sultan is therefore greatly grieved to ree that this draft has not been t: ken into considera'ion, Although the draft of note writte. before by the Subiime Porte, in order to be forwarded to Prince Menechihoff, hes been used ss a basis as regards the parsgiapa of the craft received from Vienna touching the religious privileges the question has not Deen clicumscribed in this cites, Certain ge ape superfluous and incompatible with the sacred rights of the government of his Majexty the Sultan having been in troduced, the fubliwe Porte ia again placed ucder the infnl necessity of mating some observations on this sub- Feet Tho Imperial government har fora long time past deen secus‘omed to receive teati nonies of frie dship from the high powers its avgust al'ies. It ia particul rly grate‘ul for 30 many efforts abounding in goodwill which they have corstantly received since the commencement of the pre- sent question. It is evident, there‘ore, that it must feel a repogsance on account of ita part’cular respect for those Powers, to horitute on & point which bas ovtaiced toelr common consent. But tho government of his Mf the Suiten, which at the commencement of tho was declared to be competent jadge of questions relative to ita rights and its ocependence, unfortanately nov hav- ing been consulied win the composition of tho new Greft, is placed in a difficu!t portion. Tt wey be raid that the government of Russia pot been ounsulted cn the composition of this dr, the righte to be defended are those of the Sublime Porte, end it is the Porte which will have to sign the note which will be given in relation to this. It belongs to the exercise of their the great Powers themselves, in acknowledged equity, to jué ether it is just to treat the two perties on an equal foeting in this respect It has ip consequence been thought proper not to enlarge upon this point, ‘The first of the points which caused the Sublime Porte to hesitate ia the following par If at all times the Emperors have mantfestod thelr active solicitudes for the maintenance of tho immu- id privilege of the Orthodox Greek Coursh in the Empire, the Sultans have never refused to con- em afresh by aclemn acts. ‘That the Emperors of Russia should manifest their 0- Heltude fer the prosperity of the church and the religion they profess ie natural and cails for no observation, but according to the paragraph quoted above, it migkt be urderstocd that the privilege of tho Greek chucch in the States of the Sublime Porte have only been matntaired by ‘the active rolicitude of the Emperors of Russia It must be remarked, however, that the fact of placing in a note to be given by the Sublime Porte the paragraph abc ve mentioned, as it ie found in the draft, touching re- Ligious privileges which bave beem granted and muin- tained without the participation of avy perron ebat exer, would imply and would offer pretexts to the Rassian government to advance pretensions to mix itvelf up in such things.
