American Institute, TH! OPENING DAY—ADDRESS OF HENKY MBIGS, ESQ, ixth annual fair of the American Institute was opened yesterday tw the public. The display of goods, in comparison with former exhibitions, is very limited, but we were informed that in the course of a few days all the vacant spaces will be occupied, With the exception of one or two departments, there appeared to be little or no variety in the articles exhibited. There is some dif- ference in the arrangement of the goods; but in this re- The twenty « spect those who have had charge of this part of the work | have shown & lamentable want of taste and judgment. | Piles and cases of scented soaps, hair oil and cos- metics, occupy the same old places, and even the pianos’ have not changed their location, The dis. play of fruit, flowers and vegetables is equal to rmer fair, and the apartment in which the: Of these we shail ‘he bridge or passage jding is taken up, as usual, with agri cultural imple ts, of which there isa pretty fair dis. play. There are, however, very few new inventions. The machine room 1s not yet in operation, but will be com pleted in a few days. ‘The miserable character of the present exhibition is to a great extent attributable to the Crystal Palace. It ap pears that it has taken away no less than four hundred exhibitors frem the Fair of the American lastitute. This isa great defection, certainly; but then the managers live on the hope that next year will transcend the most successful one they have yet enjoyed. The attendance was not very encouraging, and there were not more than two hundred present at the opening | adcress. In the evening the exhibition was enlivened by | the gperformance of Bloomfield’s Band, which has been engaged durivug the contimuanee of the Fair, At seven o'clock Mr. Mcigs, accompanied by several members of the Institute, made his appearance on the stage, and delivered the following address :-— Ladies and Gentlejen—The managers of the Twenty- sixth Annual Fair, call on me to address you at this open ing thereot 1 obey cheerfully, and beg” your indulgence while I try to supply the place of one more able to do justice to the cause. And allow me first to pause at the sad reminding we have had, within a few days past, of the true condition ll \hings; their brief existence and rapid dissolution. We have had taken from us two Presidents in one week ‘The clarion voice of our venerable President Tallmadge never more will be heard, proclaiming the vie an industry—urging always, with deep ¢ with all its virtue, all its art and indus. try—all its independence and prosperity—all that could establish it as the grard model republic—the grand oasis of moral and physical power, His voice is at last hushed; rance of it will last as long as a patriot that of any are exhibited is tastefully fitted up. speak hereafter more in detail. leading to the b le Dickerson, too, whose years of wis- t forty of them, were devoted to Americaa in- ¢ liimself of the high rank justly awarded enate and in the cabinet of the United States, to give spread and gravity to those noble senti- ments which and which form our greatness. Home work forever | Feace to their manes ! They will not be forgotten while anything American remains. You know without my telling you what our duty now Onward Onward | is in the general order of to-d: Is for us. Like the airy Temple of Fa drawn by our artist Cole, we aspire to that grand scene where America will form the model never dreamed of in romance. After the lapse of ages, in which the rich sneer- ed at the humble rustic who, behind the country fence la bored hard to raise their bread, the lofty men of the day who called him a boor, a villein—a bogtrotter—a new time has come over us. Queens and Kings now find the ropriety of doing honor to all the labors of the farm. Reiznce is called wit. Acres that yielded ten bushels of wheat are required to give forty on an acre—and they do it. Our Institute boasts of several members to whom the country is iniebted for their scien‘itic agriculture. One meubéer particularly to whom our country is indebted, ‘and who bas heard him from Maine to Obio, has deserved or his agricultural philosophy, is not number of men formerly did; and the grand point gained by is that at the right time precisely the harvest is made while yet the sun shines, No loss by catching weather, as farmers say. And it is now pro | posed to till the soil deeper and better than spades or ploughs can do it, by four horses and two men, as many acres in one day as 160 men could dig with a spade. te is a forking machine, attempted here a few years ago, | and more recently in England, with the future prospect | of perfect success. Here again time and weather are | to be saved. The land, when im good order to be tilled, should be done if possible in a da so that it may be ready at the right moment to rece the seed. The advantages to flow from such operations ‘on a national scale, if estimated at a saving of five per cent only, would be to England, with her agricultural an nual value of three thousand millions of dollars, the small sum of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars— three years income of California gold! That is the value of the simple machine, What are mechanics good for? | Let our politicians do as much good as that in three thou- sand millions of years, if they can. | It is not possibile to look unmoved with wonder and plea- | sure upon those power looms, as they are well called. No human musele, no sweat, not so much care asin dri a while the aceuracy of the weaving is. mathe 4 him who does not honor mechanics make his own loom, and weave his own cloth by hand, as of old. Agriculture! While mechanics are making all the rest of the world move, the farmer, much of whose work must be done by his hands, requires the aid of scierce also. The longer to be left to ignorant men. The mighty men of the world never saw before so clearly as they see it now that they must lend a hand to the farmer. The kings and queens no longer call them boors, sants, clodhoppers or villeins, as they once did. No: they treat the farmers as well as they do the best men in the kingdom, They practice personally in some cases. Al bert, to his honor, breeds hogs, and Vietoria chickens, All the legislatures of the world are chartering agricul- tural societies, Within the past seven years such im- provements have been made that it is ‘air to conclude | that the crops of the United States have been increased | several per cent—no doubt five per cent; and since oir crop is more than that of Great Britain, we may safely say that the annual gain resylting exclusively from the | application of seience to ee | amounts to more than | one hundred and fifty millions of dollars a year. As to the fine arts, they are already well founded among us, commencing a hundred years ago with a Copley snd a West, who will lose nothing for some centuries yet to | come, We have recently produced artists of great'merit. | Our Powers are manifest in the beautiful statue of th Greek Slavs of the whole artistic world in the Crystal Palace of Lon don, and who now, at home in our Crystal Pulace, adorns so sweetly the scene of magnificence there around her. The arts are in progress with everything else human. The Crystal Palaces themselves, rising to the rays of the sun, glittering like the far darting light from the fresnel light of the lighthouse, are entirely novel—such palaces as were never dreamed of by the charming oriental writers of the thousand and one tales in the Arabian Nights En- tertainments, Aladdin never raised such diamond archi- feeture, with all the powers of the genii of his wonderful lamp. who lost nothixg by standing in the presence | might, strive to do nothing but that which is good in the sight of our Heavenly Father, that he may give us his light, infinitely more precious than millions of suns.

No one has jew with wonder the animated engines orld of men and matter over hill and over dale, through mountains, over rivers, up the great riv ers, over every ocean.

Commerce is common to all classes. It is the great train on land, the steamship by sea, It is made to carry all. But you see that the arts must come last, of sheer necessity, and ia the progress of nations we find it so. Cur generation is a new one, composed of men born on a new soil, in a new climate, and of men who, leaving the old cations, old land and skies behind them, come here, and in one sense may be said to’ be born again. what new aspirations are all filled as th breathe this mew air—stretch their visicn on every side, and not only see no despot or his minions, but nothing to remind them that there is any law in existence. They soon find that those who came here before them had become self-respectful, self con- trolling, capable of uniting im huge masses of various | vpinions, with every sort of argument, noise, oratory of allsorts, and no arms, This seeming miracle is exhibited over ur land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean; therto that vast conservative power has not merely | acred peace, but has never°impeded the euse progress of the nation in all the peaceful arts st, if not the greatest of great work “Mechanique Celest: al Mechanism. So may we now call our great republic the Constitution Mechanique. No member of it is pardonable for idling away his time. No matter how rich, if he w be respected by others or respect him- self pursue sume honest business. There is not room here, between the two great oceans, for a single man todo nothing in. The first great lesson we receive here is take care ot thyself, for there is no one to take care of | you—no one to whom he owes allegiance and claims pro- tection. You remember well how great an alarm has been felt in Europe whe fear that handwork would be no longer wanted. Some- times the workmen have destroyed by violence the dreaded machines. That fear seems to have ceased alto gether—population has increased at a rapid rate so fast | that about as fest as a machine can make a shi: find a back ready for it. It is now said that our 20,000 miles of railroads have caused an increase in the number of horses. That one railroad always breecs many is beyond a doubt, for the one enables us to carry all the material for another; so that the beginning of one road helps u to build to the end, and that carries for us to the begin- ning of another.

He that is no mechanic can hard! conceive what an amount of knowledge is sary to manage iron or build a house. Although iron has been used thousands of years, still every year adds something new to its better developement. And notwithstanding immense experience in architecture for ages numer improvements have been made within a few years. bably the iron will ultimately prevail in architecture, so that, after the building of houses for thousands of yeurs, so destructible that of immense cities none but public masatve edifices remain visible, when cities shall be built of iron their ruinsafter thousands of years will be standing.

Some seven years ago some men bere com- wenced planning ships so long as to cover two or three At lantic waves, und thus move as steadily as our river steamers do over our little waves. Immediately we heard an echo from England. One proposed a ship of ten thou. sand tons; another a churoh & garden, and suitable car- riages for exercise around the decks—a chapel—a theatro. Some laughed, but not all. Now we see vemele proposed ‘of iron, in compartments, of 6,000 to 8,000 tons, to sail at the rate of twenty-five miles an tour. The printing Hoe!

The St. George's cricket club grounds, Red House, Har- lem, was the scene yesterday of a very pretty day’s play between those members of the New York and St. George’s club who’ have not participated in the games between these clubs this season, all of which have been chronicled in the columns of the Heratp. The play was very inte- resting. The New York club men won the toss and went in first. As will be seen by the score, they were en‘irely successful, and the “Dragon Slayers’? were themselves slain. The play was for the benefit of Sam Wright, the ground keeper of the St. George’s Club, and we are glad to say that quite a handsome sum was subscribed for.the veteran cricketer and popular gentleman. Annexed is the score. After the St. George's men had completed t the New Yor) ers went in again, and ir layed till sunset. They added forty-one to their score, with four wickets te 1 Brown b.

Fir.—Early yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the stables No. Pell street, owned by Mrs. Hamilton, which were completely destroyed. Her loss is estimated at about $800. Three horses were burned to death, valued at $200 each—one belonging to Mr. Hanley, another to Mr. Voss, and a third to Mr. Hoy! The dwellings Nos. 24 and 28, on each side, were considerably damaged. Several horses were got out, and taken to the station house, and after- wards restored to their owners. There was a strong police force on the ground from the Sixth, Tenth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards, under the command of their re- spective captains. MiainG OF THE Sax Francisco Fieemey.—Last evening a meeting of the San Francisco Fire Depaitment was held in the reception room of Hose Company No, 20, for the pur- ose of making arrangements for parading with the York firemen onthe 14th instant. Marcus D, Boruck was chosen chairman on the occasion. After the meeting was organized the chairman offered a series of resolutions, highly complimentary to George H. Hossefross, the late Chief Engineer of the San Francisco Fire Department, which were unanimously adopted, with instruction to have them printed in the California Edition of the Herat. The members of the California Fire Department now in this city number about thirty persons, and it is their intention, if the New York firemen assign to them an honorable posi- tion, to join them on the day of their annual parade. After the transaction of some further business the meeting ad- journed until Wednesday evening at 73g o'clock. Hoxor 10 Witom Hoxor 18 Dex —In yesterday's account of a fire that took place early on Sundsy morning, at No. 4 Trinity place, the credit of extinguishing the same is given to the police. In this respect we were wrongly informed. It appears it was not the police—who only looked on dur- ing the time—but some of the fire companies, who perform- ed the hard work and put out the flames. We haste there- fore to correct this misreport, for it is but just that honor should be given to where it is due. Ha Storm anp THunpER SHOWER.—There was a ver severe hail storm and thunder shower on Sunday night. It came up quietly and almost unawares. About ten o’elock it suddenly burst over the city. ‘The thuader and lightning were terrific, and for half an hour the hail came down tremendously. Some of the hail stones were as large as walnuts. The previous day was warm and sultry. ‘The weather last night was beoutitully clear, cold, and crisp. carers or A Fvammve Coxvicr.—On Sunday afternoon wo of the police of the Eleventh ward, Officers Cartine and Stoughton, received information of the whereabouts of a convict named Arthur Brown, who escaped from Sing Sing on Wednesday last. ‘They accordingly laid their plans, and in a short time had the fugitive in custody, with whom they started yesterday morning to reconvey him to his old quarters. ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WHILE LABORING UNDER Deurivm Tresxs.—James Mooney, a seaman belonging to the steamship Arctic, on Sunday attempted to cut his throat with his jackknife, in Chatham street, opposite the Park. He was apparently laboring under delirium tremens at the time. He was conveyed to the New York Hospital by two policemen of the Sixth ward. The act was so public that a large crowd was collected, which increased as the man being conveyed to the hospital. He presented a most | dreadful spectacle, all his clothes being covered with blood. He statee, on inquiry being made, that he was a wi¢ower, and has a family.” He is a native of Liverpool, England. He made a dreadful gash in his throat, bu’ there is no further danger appreberded beyond the loss | of blood. Arremrr at Sticipr.—Early on Sunday morning, a Ger- man woman was found lying inseusible in Twenty-ninth street, near Eighth avenue, from the effects of arsenic, which had been taken for the purpose of self-destruction. She was taken by a policeman to her residence, No. 469, in the same street, when Drs. Weber and Hanlin wore called in, Who administered the usual remedies. It was not expected that she would recover. Scppex Deatu.—William Davis, a seaman, attached to the British bark Fanny, was last Sunday found lying drunk inthe entry of the house No. 319 Water street, by an ac- quaintarc’ of his, uamed George Williams, who took him into the house, where he died about three hours after- wards. Ficnta Avex RAmRoan Accipeyt,—Snuday night a man named John Rourke, residing at the corner of Nineteenth street and Tenth avenue, had both his legs broken by being run over by one of the cars of the Eighth avenue railroad, He war taken into the drug store of Dr. Rosen- muller, 172 Fighth avenue, where he was attended to, and afterwards taken to the City Hospital by officer Willett Smith, of the Sixteenth ward. It appears that Rourke was going up town in the cars, and when he got to Nine- teenth street he either jumped or fell off, when both wheels passed over his legs, breaking them as above stated. The car No. 38 was driven’ by aman named Philip Fre- mire, who was immediately arrested by officer Smith, but as he did not appear to be guilty either of negligence or carelessness he was discharged. Fart rrom 4 Car.—On Sunday afternoon, Dennis Flynn fell off one of the Kighth Avenue Railroad cars, cutting his head severely. He was taken to the Fifth ward station house, where Dr. Kilbourne dressed his wounds, Accipest 1~ BaRctay Sraexr.—On Saturday morning a laboring man, named Owen White, who was employed lay- ing foundation stones for a new building in Barclay street, was vel injured by the caving in of a bank of earth along side, which had been shovelled up on account of its looseness. He was dreadfully injured across the loins and hips as well as the thighs, but, fortunately, no bones were broken. Accidents of this description, from the caving in of the earth, appear to be very numerous in the above neighborhood. Greater precautions ought to be taken by those in charae of the works, Gynwasrics AXD Man Trars.—At 8 o’clock on Saturday evening, while Dr. W. J. McDermott was cantering aloi the Fifth avenue, to a call in Fifty-fourth street, he an his horse performed a summerset off the end of the unfin- ished embankment in the Fifth avenue, above the Crystal Palace. Fortunately the escapade only resulted in tan or a dozen cuts, more or less severe, and as many serious bruises, by the horse rolling over his body. We under- -stand the doctor was closely followed by a lady and gen- tleman in a wagon, who fortunately observed the plunge in time te swing their horse avound, and thereby avoided what might have been a most serieus catastrophe. Sure- ly the lives of citizens should not be thus wantonly risked by the gross negligence or miserable economy that would not place a lamp and sixpence woth of oil on such dan- gerous precipices in frequented thoroughfares. LG Broxex.—Patrick Bamrak, @ lad about ten years of age, had his leg broken on Saturday night by a stage, which run over him in Spring street. - It appears that the boy was walking a the sidewalk, when a drunken man who was passing by pushed him into the road, where he met with the accident as above mentioned. Tarcer Excvnstoy.—The Peterson Ligkt Guard, com- manded by Captain Henry Aker, numbering 50 muskets, attaches to Engine Company No. 15, met yesterday for a target excursion, when the prizes were won by the follow- ing persons:—Joseph Goldry, Ist prize; John Penbrook, 2d; M. McMahon, 34; H. Bradburn, 4th: 7. Taylor, 5th} W. Ormsby, 6th; C. H. Wilsey, 7th; "J. McCue, 8th; W: Grant, 9th: A. Farle, 10th; D.’Shaen, 11th; R. Fox. 22th. Shelton’s Brass Band was in attendance, Destructive Fire in C [From the Chicago Advertiser, October 6 ] Last evening a fire broke out in the'third story of the liquor store of Messrs. Turrill & Haven, and, the contents being of a very combustible nature, but a few moments elapsed ere the whole building was one sheet of flames. The stores adjoining, T.T. Hyde's oil store on the east, and Williams, Avery & Thompson’s wholesale grocery store on the west, were in imminent danger, and in fact the building which the latter gentlemen occupied was on fire at one time, but by keeping their doors and iron shut- tera closed, soon smothered it. There loss is not heavy, as but few things were removed from their stores. The building occupied by Messrs. Turrill & Haven was owned by Eli B, Williams, Fxq., and was partially insur- ed in the tna Insurance Vompany, of Hartford, Connec. ticut. A barrel of spirits in the cellar exploded, and a number of the members of No. 7 were standing {n the butlding immediately over the place where the explosion tool place, blowing them in all directions, and injuring somo of them severely. George Blair, foreman of No. 7, was blown up, and his leg fractured; C. Ackerman’ had his ankle badly crushed; Archibald McNeal and J. Schriner had their heads badly cut; J. File had his wrist broken and was otherwise injured; and three or four others, whore names we could not learn, were slightly injured. ‘Menare. Turvill & Haven’s lose cannot be less than $20,- 000 or $25,000, and they were insured but for $8,090. Fur- tunately they saved all their books, &c. The Fisherics. We gave, from the Washinton Union, a version of the Starlight seizure, which characterized the previous ac- counts as exaggerations. The Gloucester Telegraph, in allu- sion to this part of the Uinim’s article, says — “In regard to the statement of Capt. McDonnell, which we published, we will say it was not exaggerated one word. Jt was published as he related it to us; and if ho signed a document stating that he had violated the treat; he tells a very different at home from what he di do not believe he ‘any such doeument.”” be pn undertakes to show that the visits of the vessels of rquadron were to other parts of the fishing greands than those where most of the lishermen were, nd then page — “Now we ask whet extended opportunity ba | Frying Pan Sho: enhad to make known their grievances, if they any to make? To take the words of the official we find that two of the armed vessels only in the vicinity of the fishing fleet about a week, and only one fisherman out of a dozen who have re- turned home, and who were there at the time, report having seen either of the vessels, and that was one of the steamer# which passed some distance from the fleet. What could be done in that time? The fishermen do not wish to hoard up every little grievance which they en- counter, and then leave their business to run after a Uni- ted States vessel to make a matter of special complaint; their fishing is of more importance. They tell, howeve! of these “annoyances when they get home, and thi te makes considerable of a statement when publisl For instance, the recent case of a whole fleet which were ordered not to ge into port. What time was it then to bunt up an armed vessel, when there were strong indica- tions of a storm? It was certainly an annoyance, but was it of sufficient importance for each vessel to break up its voyage and go hunting all over the Bay to find Com. Shubrick and lay it before him? ‘We think it will be perfectly plain to every one who takes a chart and examines the fishing ground, and then follows out the courses indicated as over by those vessels, to see that the opportunity offered the fishermen to make known their grievances was not very extended.” had repo were .
