THE UNITED STATES FAIR AT RICHMOND, VA. Great Display of Fat Cattle, Fast Horses, Agr , Fleultural Implements, dic.—Speeches of Governor Wise, Ex-President Tyler, Hon. Caleb Cushing and Others, &c., dc. OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE. Rianwonn, Va., Oct. 26, 1858. The United States Agricultural Fair opened here to-day under auspices far less flattering than attended the open- ing of our former State exhibitions. In numbers, as well las in the class of articles exhibited, it cannot compare with luhe least successful of them, though from its national character a contyary resul® might have been expected it may be, however, that to-morrow things may look lmore favorably. The fair ground was seen at a disad- vantage to-day, inasmuch as the preparations which are enerally made the day previous to the opening had be deferred until to-day, because of the in- ervention of Sunday, Until this morning but few larticles were on the ground, but ther increas uring the day was by no means in keeping jwith the general anticipations of success heretofore en- tained with reference to the exhibition. The hotels ar from being as crowded as they were at the openiny the State fairs; nor ist likely that any necessity wil ist at any time during the present fair to provide out- jexie apartments, a6 on other similar occasions. The entry books show but a poor exhibit. There are in 1] about one hundred horses of all clasees entered for premiums. Among these are Otelius, exhibited by Pear man & Bowry, of Richmond; Regent, by F. L. Royal, of 'va.; Revenue, by John Minor Botts; Red Eye, vy John Reicher; Fly ‘by Night, by John L. White, of Pittsyiva- , Va. These Comprise the list of thoroughbred stallions. Of another class of stallions there are Henry Clay, entered by Norman Dayton, of Canton, St. Lawrence county, New York, Kossuth, vy H. J. Smith, Richmond; Cleveland, by thilip St. George Cook, of Va.; Richmond, by Wm. Graves, € Va. ; Kuicker bocker and Rip Van Winkle, by Wm. P. Patt) ny, N. ¥.; Button, by Wm. E. Normint, of Va.; k Hawk, Jr., by a Canadian, by John B. Davis, Rich- mond, Kossuth, Jr., by J. B. Allen, do. ; —_ Morgan tad Virginia Morgan, by Geo. W. Mowrey, Virginia. Trotting stallious—Kit Carson, by Norman Da: York; Emperor, by the Hon. Wm. C. Rives, of Virginia; Berndon, by Geo. W. Hobson, Virginia. Trotting mares—Lady Wood, by E. J. Burnett, of Rich- mond; Lady Harry, by Alick Kerr, of Richmond. A number of fat Durham cattle are exhibited by Mr. S. €.Luding:on, of Greenbrier, Va.; a Durham bull, by Dr. Dilard, of Virginia; a fine prime fat Durham by Dr. Pen- diton,'of Virginia, and some superior Ayrabires by P. D. Gkn, of Richmond. ‘B the department of agricultural implements there are sone capital specimens, of which a large share are from the North and Northwestern States. entries in this deartment from Richmond probably exceed those of Somer exhibitions. With our manufacturers this occasion is availed of to eiplay their machinery for sale, and the expedient will Sabticss prove a successful one. Prospectively it will eprate advantageously for many of our farmers, who, thagh now unprepared to purchase, will be induced to dogo in the future ander the influence of the practical kxowledge which they shall have acquired from observa- tow of the experiments and tests which shall be made @unng the far. ‘he arrangements at the fair grounds are, | hegpann AY ‘mere perfect than at apy eince its construction. The class- wGations are better made, each department being syste- maically circumscribed and appropriately designated by lasre letters inscribed on canvass. Tents innumerable dot the grounds; but there is little in them. They are, how- ever, ornaments in themselves and would repay a visit to the grounds. The flags of all leadit nations are Gisplayed from the tops of the different tents, and the United States flag and that of Virginia float from long polee a cp each pillar of the main entrance to the Frown SECOND DAY. Ricumonp, Va., Oct. 26, 1858. To-lay, it may be said, was tho regular opening day of be United States Agricultural Fair, Yesterday was alto- yether occupied in making the necessary preliminary ar- apgements, and pone were admitted into the grounds save exhibitors and members of the society. To-day the privilege extended to al) who paid the entrance fee. Con- tideriag the bigh rate charged, the number on the ground wag by no means inconsiderable, though vastly below the standard of former State exhibitions. It would seem as Dough each succeeding fair was gradually declining, and ot even could the national character of the present exhi- vitdon stay the downward tondency of these enterprises The novelty is wearing off, and with its disappearance will ‘ome indifference and decay. The accessions to the exbibition ince yesterday wore carcely noticeable. The chief point of attraction was the horse track. Thery ®as D0 pew feature in the horse department above the xhibition of iact year, most of the superior class on ex- \ibition then being now on the ground, In numbers vewever, the present show would compare favorably with ny former exhibition; but the great majority of thore werent were of an inferior grade.

At twelve o'clock Gen. Tighman, ith the other members of the society, ascended the plat wm, where also I observed some distinguished person gee invited there by the society. Among these was the lon. Wm. C. Rives, J Daniel, of the United States apreme Court, Judge Halliburton, of the United States ‘etrict Court of this State, the Hon. Caleb Cushing, and sany others of less distinction. Ex-President Tyler and ‘ov. Wiee were conducted to the platform by the com- iittees appointed for that purpose. After the parties bad all taken their seate, James Lyons, eq.,.of this’ ¢ity, informed the assembly that the Rev. r ould open the proceedings with prayer, which omg, Mr aoe See Gen.

Ricumonn, Va. , Oct. 27, 1858. The beanty and fashion of Virginia would seem, by common understanding, to have selected this day to dis- Play themselves on the fair ground. They were out in thousands, decked in all the diversity of attire and fashion peculiar to the season. It wae a great day for show, and the weather was as auspicious as could be desired. At no time in the history of our agricultural exhibitions was such @ gay and fashionable assemblage collected together; and perbaps a more perfect combination of beauty was never exhibited in the country on any one occasion—cer- tainly Virginia has never had such a display; and if there ‘was no other interest to be derived from a visit to the fair, the spectacle thus presented would be sufficient to repay the trouble of a long journey to the scene, Two days ago I could not bave anticipated so favorabl: a change, the first indications being somewhat discourag ing. But this result is due rather toa desire for display tha from any interest arising from the exhibition itself. Th immense crowd assembled constituted of itself suffici ni attraction, apart from the general exhibition; for wha’ could prove @ greater source of interest than a collection of the elite, fashion and beauty of the Old Dominion. ‘The umber on the ground to-day might safely be set down a’ ‘thirty thousand; and notwithstanding this large collection not a single accident occurred. It was the most orderly well behaved assemblage I have ever beneld. ‘While the exhibition comes by no means up to the stan- dard of former State fairs, or approximates in any degree to the idea of magnificence which its national character bad imparted, the arrangements are of the most perfect and unexceptionable character. Immediately before twelve o’clock the band gave the fignal for all to assemble within the spacious tent set apart for the speaking, to hear the address of Mr. Macfar- jand, When they arrived, Mr. M. was condueted to the platform by the members of the United States Agricu!tu- ral Society, accompanied by ex-President Tyler, the Hon, Caleb Cushing, and several other gentlemen of leseer note, After afew minutes spent in the exchange of salu- tations, Mr. Macfarland, being introduced by «en. Tilgh- man, President of the Scciety, proceeded with his address, !t was made up chiefly of sentiments of congratulation on the success of the exhibition, and words of welcome to those who were present. The profession of the farmer was warmly enlogized, and a flattering contrast instituted be- tween ihat class and the members of uther professions, who, unlike the farmer, in his zea) to enlighten his breth- ren in the profesaion, by bringing to his attention whatever his inventive faculty may produce, mystify and obscure, from motives of selfishness, the conception of their genius. At the close of his remarks, the Hon. Caleb Cushing came forward and said: Mr, President of the United ‘States Agricultural Society, Mr. President of the Virginia Central State Society, (alluding to Mr. Lyons,) and you, sir, (addressing himself to Mr. Macfarland,) who, in be- half of the people of Virginia, have bid us welcome, per- mit me, in behalf of the guests here present, to tender a brief word of response to the generous and hearty wel- core which you have offered us to the State of Virginia, We appreciate her; and, gentlemen, we appreciate what there is noble and generous in the thought that this is a national occasion ; that it is a national occasion which has its inauguration here, where it most appropriately and worthily may have it, within the glorious limits of the Old Dominion. We, the citizens of other Staves of the Union—from the extreme Fast to the South—we here iate these ex- pressions of welcome which have been addressed to us this morning in your hearing. We appreciate the consi- deration that this national union of a federal and of a State Agricultural Society, is a living illustration of that most beneficent feature in the or of the people of the United States—a combination of thirty-one inde- pendent sovereign republics into one might blic—a union of the States of America. (Applause. fe appre- ciate and applaud that fact; und we are, therefore, pre- pared to rejoice as we do rejoice—we are prepared io be Tejoiced, and to receive with heartfelt gratification the welcome which is here tendered to us in the - sence of the eof the State of Virginia.

We rejoice that we enjoy to Bee here to- the exhibition of the agricultural jue- products of those auxiliary arts of life which are depena- ent upon, or subsidiary to, agriculture. We rejoice that we are thus afforded an opportinity of taking our humble part as pleased spectators of the instroctive, Interesting, and imposing scenes of this occasion. And age this, my friends, permit me to say one word in 100 respecting the part which bas, by the favor of the United States Agricultura) Society, been assigned to me pereonal- ly in the acts of toe oecasion. Gentlemen, permit me to ‘say here, when my own particular duty approaches, as the nature of the cocasion, a8 the dignity of the audience, ‘ug the place of this great assemblage come to be distinctly seen by me, I confess that a tenge of venturesomeness, nay, jet me say of the rashuese of the task undertaken by posh ny sewd more and more sensibly into my mind, not merely uve of the mature of Uhe cocasion—aot merely, Decause of this Dumerous andience, but above all because LT reflect that thie exhibition of the United States - tural Society, associated with the State Central Society, draws here such vast assemb! tothe of State of Virginia.

Tocmmon, Oct. 28, 1868. The crowd at the fair ground to-day wae probably the largest yet assembled there, In point of numbers the Present exhibition is, after all, a decided success, and it ts in this aspect it can best subserve the interests of the city. So long as the crowd continnes the merit of the exhibition will not be much questioned bere, as it chiefly with reference to the numbers that attend it that ite value to our local interests is cetimated. As to hogs, bulls and arses, they are altogether a secondary consideration, and beld particularly at little value when they fail to attract a crowd. Ip this instance they have been pretty successful, notwithstanding the vigorous efforts made by some of our city prees to impair their at- tractiveness, Judging by the number on the ground for the past two days the receipts, at fifty cents a bead, must be enormous. ‘The horse track wae the great centre o° attraction to. day, it being announced by the President of the society, yesterday, that a cavalcade of horses was to take place at eleven o clock. Independent of this attraction, there is a convenint range of graded seate in the neighborhood of the grownd, whence & commanding view is had of the movements within the track. To ladies anxious for rey these Beate are a great advantage , but eveo apart these cons: jong, the borse track possessed whatever of interest existed in the whole scene, The cavalcade was above! feature in our horse exhibition, and hence it ex: cited considerable interest. Heretofore but few of these animals could be seen at any one time, the practice being to parade a few them ip torn. This kystem afforded no opportunity to estimate their qnali ties relatively, and trequently the last one exhibited was pronounced the best, the merits of their early competitors in the ring bemg entirely lost sight of with their disap- prerence from the scene. Snch was not the case to-day re was a full opportunity to see all and estimate them by comparison. Vy were displayed, too, in different grits, and tested in walking, trotting and pacing, so that their’ capacities in these various phases were fully deve- loped. In the cavalcade were some fifteen or twenty bug- gies, drawn each by two horses, some twenty eulkeys, scores of saddle horses, stallions of all grades, from the thoroughbred to the common draught—all numbering about two hundred. At the sound of the bugle from the leader of the band, which cecnpied an elevated position on the long range of seats by the side of the track, the caval. cade broke up. and then regular pacing matches were formed. Up to 12 o'clock the scene at this point was di versified between cavalerder, the exerciging of thorough bred and the pacing of sulkey and eaddle horses, The speetacie was one of much interes}, and contributed in no emali degree to make up for the lack of attention and di versity in the correlative features of the exhibition. Lord and Lady Napier arrived yesterday evening, and are the guests of James Ivons, eg. They were both at the fur ground, and seemed much siterested in the movements there The Hon Calcd Cushing delivered his addrees within the horse ‘rack, from (he judges’ stand, which, for greater conrepience, wes removed close by the seals ecoupien bY the tallies, ‘This was deamed necessary in order to afford allan opportunity of hearing him. From ao early hour in the morning the large tent, where the «peaking generally took place was thronged by crowds of both sexos, who were anwions to hear him. On ite being announced, how oF, that be w peak Crom Uhe jwlgae’ stamd on the track , the iat paired to that text pationtly for the hour when the speaking When be took bis position on the ferously appl he was at re “ strongly the " y 10 save the country and hinted very pointy at the pedieney of a similar policy with retet platior Prated st ion of Mex When he touched upon these questions the assembly wae immense, and nota few erie for Massachusetts!" The addyeee i¢ ver logized by men of all parties, and even the ladies spoke woreeervedly of ite merits. After Mr. C. closed, loud cails were made for Wise, who ‘was standing immediately in front of the platform, but without effect, owing, doubtless, to the indisposition of which he complained in his brief address on Tuesday. It is probable he will speak before the fair closes. grand ball was given at the Exchange Hotel and Bal- lard House to-night. It surpassed in grandeur and iP nificence anything of the kind ever witnessed here. It was made pes & combination of the ¢lite of our State, and, in its racteristice of beauty and fashion, was pre- eminently above the ordinary standard of such displays, at least in Virginia or the South; and according to the tes- limony of others better informed than lam upon these subjects, it has not been surpassed anywhere. It camo off in the spacious ba!l room attached w the Ballard House, which was arranged upon a scale of grander in keeping with the magnificent array of fashion and beauty which moved within it. The supper tables presented scenes of dazzling splendor. They were ranged in three sets the full length of the room, each in itself being a combination of all that was tasteful and substantial. The party enjoyed the supper with evident relish, and kK moderately of the wines, which included every degcription and all of the best quality. After this part of the performance they again resumed the line of march to the room, where, as I have reason to believe, they enjoyed theméelves until an early hour of the morning. Asplendid banquet will be given at the Exchange to- ‘morrow night, when Lord Napier, Gen. Cushing, Gov. Wise and Hon. Wm. C. Rives will attend. baey rs of oe will of couree be present. Good speaking is ex- pected. The National Horse Fair. ‘The awards of the judges selected to determine the merits of the horses entered for exhibition and premiums atthe late National Horse Fair on the Eclipse Course, were published on Saturday morning by the association. AS there gentlemen have now got through their labors, and estimated in their own peculiar way the relative value of every horse submitted for their inspection, their decisions have become the property of the publie, and are open to such remarks as the subject deserves. We claim to have an experience in matters of this nature, and as the subject is an open one, we shall exprees an opin- jon ourselves, however different it may be from the views of others, and review the action of the juages themselves. The awards, as usual in such cases, gave satisfaction in some instances and dis- eatisfaction in others. That some of their decisicns were correct there can be no question, but whether these judgments were merely accidental, or were based oD a clear conviction of the merits of the horses adjudged, there is of course no means of knowing. Our own im- Pression is that the judges, whether qualitled or not, bad ‘no certain standard by which to regulate the delicate and important duty of sitting in judgment on the merits of a valuable horse, and that their awards generally, instead of advancing improvement in that valuable animal, will have quite the contrary effect, and create in addition a spirit of hostility among breeders against an institution deeigned by ite projectors to be a useful enterprise, and ‘one on which the public could confidently rely. Two rules only—those of speed and fancy, if we may con- sider them as rulee—appear on the surface to have prin- cipally guided these distinguished judges of horsefiesh in their deliberations. Their prejudices for imported horses could gee in the big rump and the hollow back of the fat im- ported Consternation, the points of a Sner horee than the elegant American horse Wijd Irishman, a borse distin- guished as much for his beautiful form and bigh bicod as for his achievements on the turf. This borge merely received a complimentary notice, a8 did the other American horses in the first class, except Logan. It is difficult to conjecture on what grounds other than mere ca- price the first premmm was awarded to Logan, in competition with euch a borse as Wild Irishman, who is his equa) in blood and superior in speed. And what has Logan ever done to distinguish bim in the eyes of this committee? Ran and won in mile heats in ordinary tame on one occasion, and has becn beaten every time that he entered since. And how is he a better horse than Hero, the tire of Jeff Davis, Ellen Evans, and other winners ip the South? And Hero himecif was a winner at all dis- tances, one of the very best horses that Colonel Singleton, of South Carolina, ever raised, and in whove pedigree there is no stain, ‘The judges aver that they bad on arduous task in se- Jeoting premium borees from among the trotung stalnons but as they say ‘they have considered speed to be ap abso- Jute essential, though not the only requisite,” it could not have been 80 very difficult, after all, as high blood, (except ‘in the firet premium borse, who was a Bushaw), did not appear to bave much weigbt with them. Horses well bred and horses of no certain breed in this class, stood appa- rently on the same level in the eyes of the committee. Even the magnificent thoroughbred Bashaw trotting stal- lion Lightaing, son of Black Bashaw, might have fared no ‘vetler himeelf than did some others, bad he been present. His owner, however, was prudent enough not to trifle with the reputation of this fine horse, and ¢o kept him at home at Morrisville, Pennsylvania. The same judgment, as near as our recollection serves us, which controlled in the selection of trotting stallions, was evinced in awarding premiums to their stock. Some of the very best cults on the ground are not even mentioned by the committee in their report. The awards on brood mares, with foals by their side, Bey, were probably correct, 80 far as we bad the means of @ecertaining. How far the iabore of the committee wil) assist in the improvement of the breed of trotting horses, time wi!l determine. Horsemen ceneral. ly entertain the opinion that “blood will tell” in the trot- ting horse, and that he cannot be too well bred—an opin- jon to which all good judges of horse flesh readily yield acquiescence. Nothing will so effectually prejudive the objects this arrociation have in view as an impression among breeders that epeed alone, and not merit, w to in. fiuence the award of premiums on the Eclipse Course. ‘Such an impression among breeders will seen reduce the Eclipee grounds to the level of a race track, mortify the friends of the association, and disappoint the hopes of that public who bave so liberally patroniced it. However, this ie only the first attempt of the association, and defects in ite working material are to be expected. By the next meeting time will have beeu afforded to rectify apparent evils, appoint intelligent and competent men on commit. tees, and otherwise perfect its organ zation. ‘The principal event of the last day's meeting wae the stallion trot, two mile heats, to wagons, wagon and driver to weigh 300 Ibe. There were four started, viz —Toronw Chief, Hiram Drew, Plonghboy and Columbus, the latter being the favorite against any named boree ai the start. He, however, proved bimseif to be only a mile horse, as he was badly beaten the firet heat, and withdrawn from the contest. Four spirited and trying heats were trotted, and the race eventually resulted in favor of Toronto Chief. The following are the particulars -— Pirst Heat.—Columbue went “ofl with the lead, which he held for a mile and a half. He then broke up, and Hiram Drew teok the lead. Soon afterwards to Chief took the second place, Columbus dropping back. Ploughboy then went into the third place, and in this way they came to the score. Hiram Drew won by a couple of lengths. Ploughboy about three lengths behind—Toron. to Chief and Columbus a rather bad foorth Time—6 21. Second Heat.—Hiram Drew went off with the lead; To- onto Chief second, Ploughboy third.

I. TROTTING, THE STALLION TROT ON THY UNION COURSE—NEW JERSEY AGAINST NEW ENGLAND—NEW JERSEY DISTANCED IN THE FIKST HEAT. Alarge concourse of people assembled on the Union Course on Thursday, to witness the much talked of contest between the New Jerecy stallion George M. Patcbin and the New England stallion than Ailen, mile heats, to wagons, for $2,000. The spectators wore principally stran- gers from New England and New Jersey, who bet liberally on their favorites. Ethan, however, was the favorite among the knowing ones, who placed no reliance whatever on the stories circulated in relation © Patchin’s speed by the Jerseymen, and bet $100 to $75 against him freely. The affair created a great excitement among the Jersey. men, who were on the ground in great numbers. They placed implicit confidence in the Jersey horse, although it is said he never trotted ina match before this one; and their mouths watered at the prospect of the rich harvest, which, in their simplicity, they believed awaited them ‘The opposite party were equally sanguine of success, and as the result showed, with greater reason, as Ethan dis tanced bis competitor in the first heat, in the extraordi nary time of 2:28. A great deal of money changed hands in this race, one gentieman alone having won as much as $5,000 on Ethan. The Jorseymen were beaten badly, and their dispirited and d’ jected looks as they sadly left the rave course, with light pockets and heayy hearts, seemed to say they had got enough of trotting for one day, if not forever. The short miles and glow watches of Jersey proved her ruin, and indicated that she was just a dis. tance behind the oge. The New England men, it seems, bad such correct information in relation to the Patchin horse, that they were satiefled they could distance him in the first heat, and determined to do ¢o, a8 was shown by the driver of Ethan inquiring why the distance flag was not got ready, just before starting. ‘The following is a summary — Taursray, Oct. 29.—Trotting match for $2,000, mile heats, best three in five, to 100 Ib. wagons. D. Mace named b. 8. Ethan Allen. . ses 1 J. Buckley named b. &. George M.

The above race was one of the most closely contested ‘and exciting trots that has taken place on the Union Course, and the few persons who witnessed the race will Jong remember the event. The time is good, considering the state of the weather and condition of the track, it having rained during the whole of the time the horses were engaged. Kate Miller was the favorite before the start, but after the second heat the largest kind of odds were offered on Lady Cudney without takers. Kate ‘Miller had the moet bottom, and won the last three heats and the match. Moxpay, Oct. 25.—Trotting watch $200, mile beate, in harness. James Whelpley named b. ¢. om Thumb, AA. Woodruff named br. m. ee Time 2:50-2:48. The above race was quite a one sided affair, Tom Thumb winning the match with the greatest case.

Dr. Chapin's church was crowded Tucaday night, up stairs and down stairs, in the aisice, and in the outer hall thirty feet beyond the doors of the cbapel, 80 that it was imprac- ticable to obtain egress or regress. The occasion of this dense assembly was the taking of initiate steps for the es- tablishment of a library in this city for working women. The condition of sewing girls and women generally, who have to toil for their subsistence, and the means of im. proving it, was duly discussed, and also the “neceesity of mental culture in women," in order to extend her sphere of employment and elevate her condition. Hon. Daniel F. Tiemann was elected chairman of the meeting. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was then called upon to address the assembly. Mr. Brecuee made a long speech in favor of the menta! culture of women, and ur- gently argued in favor of the establichment of the pro Foeed library for the elevation and extension of women's He said there were eighty thousand female ope- ‘ought not to let these toiling own midet for want of mental pen By soe bow have little or no ing 8 of any kind, and the books that are: are 8 as they ought not to 5 ‘ankee sons were educated for everything; ready emergency, they could teach or preach, or shoe a or mend a shoe, but our girls were only educated to married.

From this time until the Ist of December no such deduction will be made, and the taxpayers will be com- lied to pay the face of all charges entered upon the tax Books against them, Taxes unpaid on the Ist of Decem. ber will be charged one per cent, and after the 16th of De- cember two per cent. This rate will be increased to tad cent on all sums due on the Ist of January, 1860. The following is the official report of the receipt of taxes up to last evening: — During September... $920,400 73 During October, 2,620,648 15 «+ $3,550,057 88 u ormance of this would do well to call at the office of the Receiver, in the Park. ‘They will there receive every at tention; and the manner in’ which Mr, Wilson Small’ wil rebieve them of their small change will be found rather agreeable than otherwise.

Since agreeable dut that time e7 ions have been had and apologies made, which have the effect of restoring the good feeling between the men of the two cities, The New York Board of Engineers and Foremen promptly disavowed the discourteous act, and sent a deputation to Philadelphia to assure the firemen there of their continued good feeling, and requesting the company which had been abused to come on again and seo how well they would be treated The New York deputation were kindly received, and were promised a reply in a short time, On Friday evening last a deputation from the Philadelpbia firemen arrived in this city, bringing with them the resolutions passed by the Phila- delphians. y were received by a committee from the Board of Foremen of this city, who treated them with every courtesy, The following are the names of the Phi- ladelphia deputation, viz. :—Ex-Mayor Richard Vaux, Jobn €.

After the intro. ductions were over, ex-Mayor Vaux, on behalf of the Phi. ladeiphia firemen, presented the resolutions passed by them, and expressed in their behalf the kind feelings they entertained for the New York department. Chief Engineer Howard resgomded appropriately on behalf of the New Yorkers. Jolm 8. Giles, Treasurer of the New York Fire Department, also spoke. The party then ad- journed to 0’Keefe’s saloon, where a splendid dinner was partaken of. Jobn B. Leverich presided, and speeches were made by James K. Legget, ex-Mayor Vaux and others. The resolutions passed by the Philadelphians were engrossed on parchment and elegantly framed, and are now on exhibition in the Chief's office. ‘Visit oF Hingnnsa Steam Fine Excine Comraxy No. 1.— As the visit of Hibernia Fire Engine Company No. 1, of the city of Philadelphia, is to be made the oceasion of an ova tion beretotore jailed by the Fire Department of this city, an account @f the engine which they intend bringing them will be interesting to our readers, both in th city and Philadelphia, Engine built at the Penn Works, Philadelphia, and is the fifth steam fire en gine built by that firm.
