MOROCCO, &c. The Paris Moniteur announces tho death of the Emperor of Morocco, Hoe was cighty-three years of age, and ascended the throne in 1822, Two years ago he had an attack of paralysis, from Which he recovered, but he had at the end of last month ‘another and very serious attack. His ordinary medical attendant immediately sent for two English physicians, named Jackson, residing at Tangiers, who immediately proceeded to Mequinez, where the Emperor was. At the Same time the heir apparent, who is governor of Talifet, ‘was summnoned to come to his father. WBHis successor had been proclaimed. ‘Tranquillity prevailed at Algiers. TURKEY. Disturbances in Candia had been caused by the collec- tion of certain taxes from the Greeks. Five tax gatherers were murdered.

Consols closed on Friday at 9534 a 9534 for money, and 9534 a 9545 for the account. (From the Daily News City Article, Sept. 10.) ‘The somewhat splenetic article in the Moniteur caused the Fnglish funds to open ata reduction of 44 to 1%. Con- ‘sols rallied in the afternoon, closing only about 1-16th worse than on Thursday There was an active demand for money on Tuesday at 234 per cent for the best of bills. £36,000 was taken tothe Bank to-day, making a total of £164,000 since last Wednesday. The foreign exchanges ‘this afternoon were tirm. The shares of the Great Ship Company have improved to par a 4; premium. [From the London Times (City Article), Sept. 10.) The summary of the article in the Paris Moniteur, im- plying that in revenge for the conduct of the Duchies Venetia is to be persecuted, caused the English funds to open this (Friday) morning with a heavy appearance, the inference being that nothing could be more calculated to stimulate the Venetian provinces to hopeless insurrection. Both at the bank and in the open market the demand for discount increased, and a few bills were negotiated below 24, per cent. Lats in the day an advance on this rate Was occasionally obtained.

The following paragraph in the semi-offlcial Correspondancia Atutografa of Madrid, seems to indicate that the govern ment contemplates not only chastising the tribes of Moors on the coast, as on previous occasions, but even making ‘war on Morocco-— ‘War has not yet been declared against the Emperor o Moroceo, because it is not yet known whether he is dis posed or not to accord the just reparations demanded. Our Consul, as has been stated, has left Tangiers, after Pregenting a very energetic note to the government of Morocco. If the reply to this note be not satisfactory, the Cabinet will adopt all measures for acting with energy. A letter from Algiers, of the 30th ult., informs us that ‘the principal proprietors in that colony have signed a pe- tition to the Emperor, praying that Prince Napoleon may be replaced atthe head of the government.

That there is a partial blight in the potatoe I do not doubt; but that the wholesale ruin of the “tuber” has been affected by atmospheric influence in an hour I as strongly deny. We are now advanced to September, an@ having passed over the months of July ‘and August—in which in former years the blight in. the growing crop was most destructive—we can without alarm read the “total destruction of the potatoe’? which sometimes meets our eye; but, then, the thing was in Bite, and thousands would be led astray taking, iso- ted suppositions for downright fact. | We are happy to say that the “native” esculent never presented better ap- pearances, and bids fair to afford plenty for all, rich and poor.

M. A member of the Commission addressed the King in the following words:— If the wish of Tuscany for annexation with Piedmont only served for the aggrandizement of your Majesty’s State, we should entertain doubts as to the acceptance of our Wish by your Majesty. But our wish being inspired onality, we hope that the thought i ept it. ? im deeply sensible of the wish of the Tuscan Assembly, T thank you in my name and in the name of my people. We have received your wish as a solemn manifestation of the will of the Tascan people, who after having made the last vestige of foreign domination in ‘Tuscany to cease, desires to con- tribute to the constitution of a strong kingdom which shall defend the independence — of Italy. But the Tusean Assembly will have comprehended that the accomplishment of its wish can only take place by negotia- tions which are about to begin on the affairs of Italy. 1 will second your desire, becoming myself strong by the rights which are given me by your wishes, J will support the cause of Tuscany before Uke Powers in which the Assembly laces its hopes, and especially before the magnanimous Em- peror of the French, who has done so much for the Italian nation. Ihope that Europe will not refuse to practise to- wards Tuscany that work of redressing grievances which it has under less favorable circumstances practised to- wards Greece, Belgium, and the Danubian Principalities. Your noble country gives an admirable example of mode- ration and concord. You will add those virtues to that one which insures the triumpb of all honest undertakings and which overcomes all obstacles—namely, perseve- rance. GARIBALDIS OPINION OF THE TUSCAN ARMY, Certain statements that have appeared before the public in various shapes, in reference to the Tuscan army, hay- ing aroused the just susceptibility of General Ulloa, he ad- dressed himself to Colonel Malenchini to obtain a correc- tion of them from General Garibaldi, now in command of the force in question, The following is the reply:— My dear Malenchini. me of the journals have stated that the Tuscan troops commanded by General Ulloa were demoralized, dispirited, and disorganized by that General. I have been called on to command those troops, now forming the Eleventh division of the Italian army. I must proclaim, to express the truth, that I found those troops in a very different state to that announced by th journals. The general complaint that has reached me f1 ‘these brave officers and soldiers was unanimous, namely, that they had not arrived in time to combat the enemies ‘of Italy, because they were engaged to form part of that corps 0!’ the French army whieh was deprived of partak- ing the glory obtained on the battle fleld in consequence of the unexpected armistice of Villafranca. I ought, besides, to add that—to judge from the spirit, diserpline and mar” tial bearing of this division—I do not hesitate to believe that it would have fought worthily beside of the. con- querors of San Martino, Solferino and Magenta. GARIBALDL. ‘The uncertainty that has prevailed in reference to the command of the army of Central Italy is now over. We learn from Turin that Gen. Fanti has definitively accepted the post of General-in-Chief, haying come to that decision at the request of Garibaldi. RELEASE OF MADAME MARIO (MISS MERITON WHITE) IN BOLOGNA—HOW HER FRIENDS REPRESENTED HER TO THE GOVERNMENT. Florence (August 31) correspondence of the London Times. } al Piedmontese gentlemen, more or less correctly designated as agents of the Sardinian government, are now making the tour of Central Italy. We had here late- ly Michael Angelo Castelli, one of the oldest friends and most useful servants of Count Cavour, and also a very fine specimen of the plain dealing, prudent, yet active and in- telligent Piedmontese school of politicians. Yesterday brought us Broflerio, the well known orator or rhetorician of the Sardinian Parliament, and we are in daily expecta- tion of another veteran deputy, Valerio, the impetuous, headlong, somewhat bull-in-a-china-shop’ party leader, to Roman patronymic, Valerius, one might feel ‘in- clined to add, without fear of offence, the cognomen Po- plicola or Publicola. The imminent arrival of another, of far different Italian celebrity, is also announced—that of Antonio Panizzi, of the British Museum. Brofferio tells us, also, that he had been to some extent successful in a mission in which he acted on his own impulse, no less than asa spokesman of Garibaldi, He has obtained from the government at Bologna the libera- tion of the ci-devant Miss Jessie Meriton White, now Ma- dame Mario, and her husband. The plea put forth by Brofferio and Garibaldi was, that the English lady was only @ half cracked creature, and that both humanity towards her mental infirmity and courtesy to her sex demanded her instant release. The government at Bologna declared themselves too happy to comply with so reasenble a request, and to be rid of their fair captive at any price; but they urged that their people are mad in their hunt after Mazzinian agents, and very loth to give up their hold of Jany such agent upon whom they happen to put their clutches. They therefore en. ed to liberate the lady at the end of eight days, but they deemed it unwise and dangerons to open the door to her at this present moment, when the general elections should not be exposed to any disturbance by a measure which might turn out unpopular, especially as the nature of the lady’s complaint could not be made public without injury’ to her character, and the people might insist upon her being removed from a. jail into a lu- natic asylum. For the same reason Brofferio, to his infl nite disgust, was denied the satisfaction of penetrating into the deep, dark dungeon in which this fair English vietim to Mazzinian hallucination is now immured, and standing before her as an angel to announce her forth- coming hour of deliverance. ENGLAND AND RUSSIA L Y TO HAVE A CONGRESS. ‘The Russian government has recently transmitted, by the Baron de Budberg, a note, in which it makes known its views on the Italian question. Without specially en- tering into that of the Duchies or of the debt, that de- spatch developes the idea that the affairs of Italy cannot be settled in a durable manner except by a Congress. The prin- cipal object of this nole is to gain over Prussia tothis opinion. It has been already stated that the Cabinet of Berlin was not opposed to the idea of a Congress, but that it thought it could not be held until the results of the present Con- ference of Zurich were known. The Russian note has tended to strengthen Baron de Schleinitz in his idea of pointing out to the European Powers, in a diplomatic de- spatch, the attitude of Prussia on the Italian question. An English Cabinet council, held on Monday, 6th inst., was to give the sanction ofthe government to a determi. nation which had been arrived at concerning a portion of the Italian question by the Premier and the Foreign Secre- tary. It is known that Central Italy, or Upper Italy, or Lombardy, or the Duchies have had’an envoy in England for some days, and that some tangible arrangement has at length been come to. MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS. ‘The yote respecting the annexation of the Duchy of | Parma to Piedmont has been made known. There are 62,403 votes in favor of the annexation, and 516 against it. ‘A despatch from Bologna of the 84 inst. says:—The in- habitants of the Romagna will no longer submit to the temporal government of the Pope. The Assembly has decided upon taking this motion into consideration. | It is confidently asserted that a fresh interview between the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Austria will probably take place at some Swiss town. wiss, it would scem, are likely to turn out as un- a support to the Pope as they proved to the King of Naples.

Germany. | DANGERS OF DISUNION AND AGITATION FOR A NEW FEDERATION. Berlin (Sept. 3) correspondence of London Times.] ¢ immediate dangers which threaten Europe and Germany, and the necessity to subordinate party feelings to the common cause of German unity, have brought to. ther a number of men, belonging p; 10 the dem« rtly to the constitutional parties, to Come to an up ding on the creation of a United German constitution, and the common action required to attain this 0 ‘They have agreed to the following resolutions as sub sidiary to the declarations put forth at Kisenach on the 17th of July, and at Hanover on the 19th of the same month:— 1. We see in the present political situation great dangers for the independence of our German fatherland, which have been inereased rather than diminished by the peace concluiied betuven Austria and France. 2 These dangers arise from tie imperfect Federal con- stitution of Germany, and they can only be avoided by a BB WUOY Gang a Ubis gowautubion, Paap tom ep marten hodon¥e ul a firm, an y teal qoverament, ant’ that a Naliousl Assembly should be led. 4. In the present circumstances it is only by Prussia that effect can be taken to reach this end; to se- cure the Stive of Prussia must, therefore, be the ob- Ject of our efforts. 6. Should Germany be again threatened from without, before the Central Government is definitely constituted, the conduct of her military forces and diplomatic relations abroad must be confided to Prussia, 6. It is the duty of every German to give his support to the Prussian government, 80 long as its aims coincide with the aims and necessities of Germany, and. its actions are directed to securing for Govmany a strong, free and united constitution, 7. We expect from all friends of the German fatherland whether the to the democratic or constitutional party, that they will prefer the national independence and ‘union to the claims of party, and will work together with one accord and with perseverance to arrive al a strong German unity, Eaxayacu, August 14, 1859. French Opimien. - England's Position jurope. (‘Sept 4) correspondence of tho London Herald.) ‘ar with England’’ letter in the J mice yesterday, has made a sensation, and the government prints haye been ordered not to notice it, 1¢ Débats, however, comments upon it as follows :— We find in the Independance, of Brussels, a letter from Paris, which does not appear to come from its ordinary correspondent, and which it is difficult to pas over with- out remark. ‘The writer, in the first place, takes for granted the opinion already several times expressed, that the Emperor of the French in conch ‘the peace of Villafranca, Dartionlerly sought to gain alliance of Austria. The object of the in obtaining that second French Empire—the abolition of 1815, and the Regret td moral. as The correspondent of the Le yea does not clude from this that war against Eng} is inevitable, or that it is the final object of . the acts ofthe French government; but he affirms that in order to avoid such war England must return into the common law, and renounce a supremacy which is no longer in keeping with her strength. If Eng- land does not with a good grace admit this change in her situation, then only would war become inevitable. We do not wish to give any exaggerated importance to this let ter, Lut it is impossible not to see that it expresses a gencrally entertained opinion. One e certainly be ignorant of contemporaneous history @ maintain that England places herself above common ‘right, and exercises any supre- macy in Europe. Our neighbors are not now so proud, and they have sulliciently proved during the late war that they were far from pretending to any excessive influence in the affairs of Europe; and there is therefore np 1 sity for bringing them back to more humble sentiments by these threats of war fulminated against them he cor- respondent of the Independance. But these threats merit attention. They us once more how much a govern- ment, which holds in its hands all the forces of a great country, and which is the absolute master of its foreign policy, is liable to haye its conduct falsely interpreted. tation of the State of nsylvania. {From the London Times (City Article)» Sept. 6. Penneylvania is true to her character, and is still « light in the pathway of her sister States. ’ When Governor Packer in February last reviewed her financial history, and adjured his constituents to “ keep her fame and credit untarished, and to maintain that high character for honesty and integrity by which the State has ever been distinguished,’ he knew that he could depend upon them. ‘The chief circumstance that had given Pennsylvania a specific reputation was, that in the year 1845 the ture, with the approval of the Goveruior, passed a law con- fiscating about twenty per cent of the claims of a portion of her public creditors. That law has been steadily sus- tained to the present hour, and recent occurrences show that the spirit which dictated it is still vigorous. Some years ago the county of Alleghany subscribed for a million dollars in the stock of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad byffan issue of six per cent bonds, and as the district Is very wealthy—including the city of Pittsburg, the Birmingham of America—these bonds were taken with confidence, partly in Fngland and partly in‘the United States. Up to the crisis in the autumn of 1857 the imterest upon them was paid out of the receipts from the railway, the dividends on that undertaking being eight per cent, s0 that the county, after paying the tive per cent, gained a clear yearly profit of three per cent by its holding. But the crisis compelled. the railway to abstain from paying any dividend that half-year, upon which the county at once declined to make any provision for the half-year’s interest on the bonds. ‘The bondholders, finding that nothing better could’ be obtained, then consented to exchange their bonds for the shares’ which the county had bought with them, although these had gone to twenty-two per cent’ discount. At the kame time they pointed out that, as the county had for a certain time realized a profit of three per cent per annum, this should be handed over in mitigation of the less. The constituents of Governor Packer, however, had treasured up his recommendations, and’ were de: termined that the “character” of Pennkylvania should not be subjected even to any local inconsistency. Their terms are to take all the gains and to repudiate all the deficiencies, ‘The result is, that the county has kept the profit on the dividends, and the bondholders have taken the loss on the shares. In confiscating merely about 20 per cent of her creditors’ claims Alleghany county kept to the Pennsylvania standard, And the system seems to bring its reward. When Governor Packer held up the State as a beacon he admitted that fact with a grateful allusion to Providence, at the same time warning the people not to let their great virtue Financial Re render them proud or censorious over less distin- guished communities. Accordingly the State _ still flourishes, and her resources iructify. The trea- surer has* just paoposed to pay off $250,000 of debt out of surplus revenue, ‘The Governor next year will, therefore, have materials for a new address of congratu- lation, A few further meek words will, however, also be required to chasten that tendency in his fellow citizens to self-exaltation which is the besetting danger of much fame, The Philadelphia papers are already severely loud in their thanks that is not as other communities. “Pennsylvanians,” they say, “may point with proud satisfaction to the credit of their State, What other State in the Union, or, indeed, in Europe, is paying so steadily or so largely of its indebtedness? Not one. Oh, that the Rev. Sydney was alive to w this whole- some rebuke of his slandera on the ‘drab coats!’ Gov- ernor Packer will doubtless tone down such phrases to a pride consistent with unctuous humility. As the boast is that no other State in America or Europe pays like Pennsylvania, aud as New York, Massachusetis, 4 the majority of the American governments meet r debts at the rate of 100 cents to the dollar, the point of excellence must be that Pennsylvania occasionally pays only 80 cents. But if this wiping off one-fifth of her obli- gations constitutes her a beacon in the pathway, it will temper her spirit if Governor Packer should take the next opportunity of pointing out that there are some of her neighbors who wipe off five-fifths, Michigan, Missis- sippi, Florida and Arkansas pay nothing. Each is there- fore five times as much a beacon as Pennsylvania. Russia on the Amoor, ‘The Hamburg Correspondent has the following from St. Petersburg:—We are informed that another ex- pedition to explore the territories of the Amoor is now being organized under the auspices of the Grand Duke Constantine. At the head of the expe tion is M. Maninow, well known for having tra- velled on foot through all Russia in the costume of a working man, in order to sthdy the condition of the peas- antry. Several exploring parties have already, left Ir. kutsch for the countries mentioned, but solely with a view to search for the gold placers said to exist there. Some of the explorers have found rich mines near the source of the Seja, but not easily worked, as they are covered with astratum of peat of immense’ thickness. It is not with- out interest for the China trade to learn that the western provinces of that empire now, send caravans of tea to Semipolotinsk, 80 that Kiatcha no longer enjoys the mono- poly of the tea trade. The caravans from Central Asia generally take two routes; some go towards Siberia, by Semipolotingk and Petrohsuwtosk, and the others to- wards Orenburg by k.

The Emperor has addressed the following rescript to Prince Alexander Bariatinski, Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Caucasus, and lieutenant of his Majesty ia that country:— PRINCE ALEXANDER IvANovrtcn—Under your command the valorous troops of the army which is confided to you have effected a general offensive movement, crowned in a short time by a brilliant military success, in a country which, during sixteen years, had been the basis of the operations directed against us by the Chief of the moun- tain tribes of the Caucasus which were hostile to us. The prompt submission of the warlike populations of the Avaria, the Koigsoubou, the Goumbett, the Salatavia, the Andi, the Teknoustal, the Tcheberloi, and of other tribes further off in the mountains; and the evacuation by the enemy, almost without resistance, of the fortifications he bad erected after the fall of Vedena, testify to the eminent military talents with which the operations com- menced by you in that country have been conducted to the proposed aim. Attributing to the military plans pro- foundly conceived and pursned by you with perseverance during two years and a half, the success with which the progressive Submission of the Caucasns to our army ad- we have judged it eqnitabie to manifest to you our high gratitude and our complete satisfaction with your, indefatigable Jabors, and your important military services in the interest of the country which is confided to you. In testimony of these services we have named yon Knight of our Imperial Order of St. George of the Second Class, of which we herewith transmit to you the insignia, order- ing you to wear them according to the statutes.

In the Heraty of this morning, under the head of Po- litical Intelligence,”” there is a paragraph attributing cer- tain declarations to Senator Hunter, of Virginia,in a re- cent speech. Please be kind enough to state that Senator Hunter has made no speech since the adjournment of Congress, and therefore is not responsible for the language aseribed to him. ‘The paragraph in question has been “ going the rounds” of the press for some time; but it becomes im- portant to correct it, since it is now inserted in a peper of so large and general a circulation as the Hera. The sentiment attributed to Senator Hunter was uttered by Senator Mason, of the same State, in the famous de- bate on popular 5: ignty that took place in the Seni last February. It was in this way, doubtless, that the mistake originated. Very respectfully, A VIRGINIAN.

It is, no doubt, successful in one sense; but it is not a fair oxposi- tion of the agricultural productions of the whole Union. It is not, ‘strictly speaking, a national fair. There is none of the sugar, cotton or rice of the South exhibited; none of the furmors of Pennsylvania or Virginia are here, with specimens of their wheat; and many other sections of the ‘United States are entirely unrepresented.

Assuming this to be the case, the contributions are not such as would give a stranger not an American a correct idea of the extent or developement of American agriculture. Even as an ox- position of Western agricultural productions, it falls far behind tho Ilinois State Fair, held at Peoria two years ago. It is really an exhibition of some of the agricultural productions of the West, of agricultural imploments and machinery, and of the goods, wares and merchandiso of Chicago merchants. Besides these, there are only a fow horses and cattle from distant States. For instance, in ono tent there are plenty of cases containing $1,000 Cashmore shawls, and Valenciennes lace at $76 per yard, and sets of furs at $200 to $700, and sable capes at the moderate rice of a thousand dollars, together with elegant Parisian poe all-from Chicago dealers; but very fow speci- mens of tho handiwork of American women: ‘Then inthe department of fine arts there is any quan- tity of wretched daubs of paintings, hideous phi raphs, aud a heterogeneous medley of kerosene oil lamps, babies dolls, &c., but very few objects really worthy of’ a place in such an exhibition as this professes to be. ‘The display of fruit is rather meager. So far as regards the number of people present, and the receipts of money, the fair is a perfect success. There could not have been less than thirty thousand strangers present yesterday, and there is certainly fifty thousand strangers on the ground to-day. The officers are satisfied with the receipts. ‘The operation of the steam ploughs to-day excited great interest. The Detroit machine ploughs thirteen furrows at once and with’ great ease, and does its work well. ‘The department of agricultural implements is very full, embracing celebrated mowers and reapers, three different steam ploughs, and an endless variety of threshing machines, winndwing machines, ploughs, bar- rows, horse rakes, corn planters and corn shellers. A sugar cane cutter deserves especial notice. It is a new invention, and wil! do the work of a score of field hands. A grain binder, made wt Auburn, New York, is also a new in jon. It puts a wire band around the sheafs much quicker and stronger than five men could do the same work. Some valuable ditching machines are exhi- bited, which must be of great value in the wet prairies of the West. In the mechanical department a most noteworthy object is asetof heavy blank books, which were made for the recording of deeds in county’ offices. Their edges are protected from the hocks to which this class of books, 80 valuable in every community, are exposed, by astrong but elegant brass rim and corner. The inyen- iton, which is a most important one, has been patented. In the department of agricultural productions there are some fine specimens of Western grain, Among them is some corn from the southern part of Ilinois, the stalks sixteen feet high, and the cars well developed; also some from Minnesota, ’ eight fect high. There are only two ex- hibitors of barley, both from this State; only one of rye, also from Illinois; ‘only one good sample of timothy seed, and a single one of clover seed. ‘There are many samples of wheat shown, both winter and spring, but all of it Western wheat. A prize, consisting of a superb stand of colors, worth $450, having been offered for the best drilled military company, the competition for that is going on this after- noon. The competitors are not very numerous, as only a few companics have entered the lists. Among them all the only company that seems to me to have a chance of winning the prize is one called the National Guard Cadets, composed of very young men, between cighteon and twenty-one years of age. They wear a uniform much resembling the United States regulation dress, though it is said that they are about to change it for the Zouave cos- tume. Their marching and conduct generally under arms is really admirable, The other military compa- nies of Chicago are generally deficient in di efficiency in the variou c' Tought to ex- cept, however, the Chicago Light Guard, Captain C. ©. Marsh, and the Chicago Light Artillery. The former com- pany are uniformed exactly like the Now York Light Guard, and have attained toa very high state of military discipline. Their ranks, however, are usually thin. The latter company have four brass field pieces, which they handle with great skill and rapidity. There is also a Ger- man cavalry company which makes quite a respectable appearance. One of the black republican organs of this city, the Press and Tribune, set up a most dismal’ how! yesterday because Mr. Crittenden, in his beautiful and touching ad- dress at the opening of the Fair, saw fit to deprecate the foul spirit of disunian and disloyalty to the laws. The Press would have its readers abroad believe that such things are never thought of in Chicago, when it well knows that in all the West there is not a fouler nest of abolition - ists and disunionists than is composed of its own warmest supporters in this community, One of the great depots of the underground railroad is in this city; and I doubt very much whether the Fugitive Slave law could be exe- cuted here. It certainly could not be without violence, and most probably bloodshed. Yet not many months ago Tsaw a white child torn from tho arms of its mother and carried away to a distant State, and none of these frantic philanthropists raised an arm in its defen ‘ipkine and in Cincaco, Sept. 19, 1859. Cloee of the Fair—75,000 Strangers in Town—Contest of Brass Bands—The Race for $1,000—Won by Ike Cook— Admirable Arrangements of the Ilinois Central Rail- road— Western Politeness. dic., dic. The United States Fair closed on Saturday afternoon. It has been a great success, and has been also highly credi- table both to the officers of the society and to the farmers who haye contributed the fruits of their labors. The hotels of this city have reaped a rich harvest, and the amount of money left here in all hands has of course been very large. Some very wild estimates on that point will, no doubt, be made by the city papers. It is probable that 75,000 strangers have been here during the week, but I think that not more than 30,060 of them probably stayed here during the greater part of the week; the rest might have been here for two days. If it cost them on an average $3 per day (and that isa moderate estimate for hotel expenses, shows, amusements and extras) they would have spent here $725,000. You may rest assured that is somewhere near the figure. A good portion of it is in silver coin. Silver to-day is a drug in the money market, and the brokers will scarcely touch it. Among the prizes offered was that of a silver medal for the best music executed by a brass band; and on Friday the two best bands in Chicago—the Light Guard Band and the Great Western Band—competed for ‘The competition was neither spirited nor meritorious. The Light Guard Band has played ten times better whon marching in the streets before that gallant corps, the Chicago Light Guard; and if the Great Western Band had played before a select Chicago audionce, as they did on Friday, they would have beea hissed off the stage. “Both bands ‘are capable of much better work. At the after. noon concerts given here more than a year ago, the Great Western Band—then led by the lamented Henry Ahner— executed music that would have done honor to the orches: tra of any opera troupe in America, But it was not so on the fair grounda. No wonder that the committee declined to give the silver medal to either band. Another exhibition of Fawkes’ steam plough Lancaster was given on the same day, on which oocasion the great defects of the machine were glaringly shown. It broke down twice, but after being mended up it succeeded in plowing two acres in forty minutes, ‘The engine is of thir- ty horse power. The machine is cighteen feet long, Weighs ten tons, and cost $4,000. Water for use can be drawn fr k, run or tank by a pump attached. The locomotive is a high e cost of ploughing with this machine s found by the committee to be $16 per day; and they computed that it could plough twenty-five acres ina day. ‘The great feature of the fair on Saturday was the con- test for the citizens purse of $1,000, for the best. trotting horse. Seven horses were entered, namely: Belle of Sa: ratoga, Billy Fox, Ike Cook and Dick Tenbrocck, of Chi- cago; Fillmore, of Iowa; Magna Charta, of Michigan, and Reindeer, of Chicago. After a spirited race Ike Cook was declared the victor, and the prize of $1,000 was handed to his owner Henry Graves, of this city, “Ike” is a nd T think worthily so. He ce . . He won the first heat, ag yin 2:2834; the second, against “Reindeer, 2:8334. He is @ beautiful bay, fourteen years’ old, and’ ‘was driven on this occasion by James 1. Koff, the owner of Princess. The reason why Princess and Flora Temple did not compete for this prize was, that the judges decided them ineligible, because they’ had trotted for money in another place on the day before. ‘The exercises of the fair were formally closed by an address by President Tighman, after which thr immense andience slowly dispersed. Itis a remarkable fact that in so large a gathering of people, certainly not less than 75,000 souls, requiring too to be transported three miles by railroad, lake, horse car and in carriages, not a single accident has ‘happened during the entire week. The arrangements of the Tilinois Central Railroad Company were perfect in this respect, and to this is owing, in a great measure, so satisfactory a result, During the four great days of the fair they ran trains of sixteen to eighteen passenger cars every thirty minutes, There could not have been less than eighty passengers in each, Yet every train made its proper there was no interruption of the regular business he road, there was no collision and nodelay. [fan dent had taken place, would not the officers of the road have been roundly blamed for it? Let them, then, receive their due meed of praise for taking those precau. tions by which all danger was avoided. Tt is not too much to say that 50,000 lives wore committed to their keeping, and that their care and attention has restored to half that many happy homes, the dearest objects of love and ‘regard. Do you wonder that I write thus? The track of the road, for the distance of a mile, passes in frout of the city, over the lake, at the distance of 200 or 300 fect from the shore, on a structure of piles. Over this ek, and into the great Central depot, passes daily two nger trains from Cineinnati, two trains from New d Canada, two trains the South, and two traing from Galena and, r this track, and out of the great depot, @ number of passenger trains on thele outward trips. Besides these, the freight trains on the Minnie Central, Rock Island,’ Galena, Michigan. Central, and Burlington and Quincy roads, all puss over the same Wack, aud guler and departirom (ue same depot. The pas: York, two trains from Detroit from Cairo a the West. 4 pass daily the plaoed switch, obama atas awi a ie a watch, might have hurled men, and chil of the lake, into the deep and sorrow and ‘ning into hundreds of families all over the land. Were not the arrangements of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad Company, then, well made? ‘Another fact worthy of remark here is the admirable order that was preserved during the whole week; srempeved SP, not by policemen, but by the peo- le. iT the best opportunity of ‘seeing all 1 AES going on during the whole week, and I did not see a single drunken man, nor a single female treated with disrespect. men with homespun clothes rose in the cars, and with true na- jiteness gave their seats to the ladies in hundredsof (and the ladies thanked them, too). And more than once rude and boisterous conversation was hushed when the entrance of ladies seemed. to intimate that a quieter tone would be more becoming. These, Mr. Editor, were Western men; and J marked these things and others like them the more, and the more readily, because T ain nota Western man myself, Little Johuny’s policemen were on the fair ground, but they had been utterly power- Jers to suppress a riot or to prevent disorderly conduct. ‘The good sense of the people themselves was sufficient. As this will be my last letter on the fair I must say that the weather seemed to have boen sent expressly for the occasion. Had the fair been fixed for a single week later it would have been as complete a failure as it has been a success. It commenced raining yesterday, and has been steadily at it now for forty-eight hours. ‘The fair grounds ‘are completely flooded, whoreas a few days before the fair began a few gentlo showers removed all tho dust, and the weather during the whole week was delightful. Our Toronto Correspondence. Toronto, C. W., Sept. 5, 1859. Farewell Ball of the Governor General—Kgects of the Change of the Seat of Government—The Questions of An- neaation with the United States and the Dissolution of the Union of the Provinces—Roman Catholic Influence in Ganada—A Proposed New Feat at the Falls, de. ‘The Governor Goneral and lady Head gave their farewell ball and supper last Friday night at the government house. ‘The principal gentry and morchants of the city were in- vited, butthe attendance was not as numerous as on former occasions, owing to the facts of very many of the inhabitants of this city being still at watering places, and most of the officials having already left for the new seat of Parliament—Quebec—where the, headquarters of the government will be located until the Parliament houses are erected in the fortunate village of Ottawa. Amongst the military guests was Gencral Sir W. E. Wil- liams, the hero of Kars. At supper, the Governor General, in proposing the health of the Queen, alluded in very feeling terms to the separation about to take place be- tween himself and the people of Toronto, from whom he had experienced so much kindness. ‘The health of Sir Edmund and Lady Head was proposed by Chief Justice Draper, and appropriately responded to by the Governor General. The company did not separate until an early hour this morning. ‘The effects of the removal of the seat of government are already visible, and the loss to the city ina pecuniary point must be very considerable when about oighteen hun dred or two thousand persons, between g@vernment offi- cials and members of Parliament and their families, take their departuro for anothor city. Several houses in almost every street are ‘to Ict,’’ and the Rosin House, a very oxtensive hotel, conducted on the American plan, by Mr. Jocelyn, formerly of the Everett House, New York, has seen its best days. The present proprietor retires from it in the spring. The energy of the inhabitants of Toronto, and the increased trade aud commerce which will naturally flow from the several railways passing through the town, must after a while relieve them from their present depression. ‘The firemen of this city are by no means as expert as those of the States. I have witnessed the bungling man- ner in which they act. They permitted a whole block of houses to be burned down the other night, where there was an open space for playing on the flames, which the Now York firemen would have checked in the apartment where the fire originated. Blondin, the dauntless rope walker, attracts thousands from this’ city. Captain Milloy’s splendid steamer, the Zimmermann, conveys to the Falls on an average 1,250 persons to each exhibition; and though the acrobat per- forms his fearful foats free of charge, it is well known that he ts liberally compensated by the railway companies who profit by his attractions ‘There is a new University erected in Toronto, and when completed internally will be one of the most splendid and solid public edifices in the Province. ‘The site for the new jail has been long since laid out ata little distance trom the town, near the river Don; and though the plan of Mr. Thomas, the eminent architect, has been adopted, the contractor for the erection of the building has not’ been yet declared. The tenders were opened some days ago, but the Canadian committees, as well as New York city fathers, have a desire to be ‘con- vinced,”’ and hence the delay ‘in declaring the successful contractor for the building. T have eenversed with several persons—merchants, lawyers, politicians, and members of Parliament—on the subject of annexation recently brought frequently before the public by the correspondents of the Hxeranp, and I find that, though some are utterly opposed to annexation, the feeling of the great mass of the people is that of mere indifference on the subject, although political events are, without the people being apparently aware of it) tending in that direction, The “clear grit,” or radical party of Upper Canada, has already’ come out in favor of the American system of government, as against the British, and has also declared in favor of a dissolution of the union of the provinces. Either of these I am advised would eventuate in “annex: tion,” because England, if the American system of govern- ment were once established here, could no longer furnish a governor to the colonies, and would cease even to under- stand what she neither could control nor advise. As for a dissolution of the union, it would shut out Upper Canada from the ocean; that is, it would place all the northern highways both by water and rail in the hands of the French Canadians of Lower Canada, who would vex Upper Canada every way they could, and’ finally embarrass and annoy her into an alliance with the States. But the questions naturally arise, are either of these im- portant contingencies likely to occur? Can the American system of government be established in Canada? Or are there circumstances happening or likely to happen which must bring about a dissolution? I think the latter is much more likely to take place than the former; and there is a probability, if not indeed a cor- tainty, that the next election cry in Upper Canada will be “destruction to the union at any price.” The conduct of the Roman Catholic Bishops in recently denouncing every who would not advocate their peculiar educational mas, or who insist upon the progressive prin- ple of representation according to population, has excited and is daily exciting the most intense feeling of hostility to them in Protestant Upper Canada, and this feeling is the more portentous, at least to tho ex: istence of the union, from the circumstance that the Roman Cutholic hierarchy notoriously govern Canada. Upper Canada, in spirit and_numbers, is about as Protes- tant as the State of New Vork. Upon educational ques- tions there are, perhaps, no two peoples more in harmony than the inhabitants of the Northern States aud the Upper Canadians, Now, whilst this is the fact, the Roman Catho- lic hierarchy threaten Upper Canada with the destruction of the free School system; and that the hierarchy have the power to do so, and are likely to wield it, one circum- stance will sufficiently At the last general election ‘the ery which carried the day in Upper Canada was the dangerous en this same hierarchy. There were other cries, it is but this was the cry that did the business. Now, in Lower Canada, which is about four-fifths Roman Catholic, the cry was the very opposite—namely, the dangerous en- croachments and aggressive spirit of Protestantism ; both provinces elected majorities upon these two opposite dangerous grounds. But Lower Canada elected sufli- nt partizans of the hierarchy to make up a majority with the minority of Upper Canada; and hence Upper Canada is governed against her public opinion—that is, Lower Canada selects Upper Canadian rulers for a minority; and this minority, as may easily be imagined, is detested as reneg body unnational and untrustworthy, by th f the Upper Canadian people. Nor ‘can Up) very well see how she is to get out of this dil ase One-half of the entire population of united is Roman Catholic; and being united, they can a sufficient number of renegade Protestants to ¢ to govern the whole, Atleast this is now the case, and sensible men with whom T have conversed sec that there ix much more likelihood of a continuance of the evil than an end of it. Add to this and to the ill feeling it the fact that the Roman Catholic hierarchy have recently issued a bull against the Protestant free’ sclool system, and against the other progressive principles of four-fifths of the whole of Upper Cana Now the State of New York would not stand this. Would you go for a dissolu- tion of the Union if priests named your governors, con- trolled your Legislature and threatened your most cher- ished principles? As New York would do, Upper Canada will do; and hence the ery, ‘not for annexation with the Unite but for a dissolution of the Canadian Union. The daring feats of Blondin, the rope walker, are ex- citing the energies and inventions of reckless rivals for public notoriety, and for, perhaps, a certain death or fame, to be handed down to posterity. An agent of another foreigner (Hibernian), named Shields, is now at Niagara making arrangements for Mr. Shields to have a clear stage some day next week to leap from the bank adjacent to the falls into the boiling pool beneath, a depth of nearly one hundred feet. The water has been sourded, and it appears that there are no rocks within several fect of the surface. Shields is an expert swimmer, but volens, he must go with the current. ° Detinquent Orrick Hopers.—The State Comp- troller of Texas publishes in the Gazette a list of twenty- seven delinquent Assessors and Collectors, now in office in that State, whose indebtedness amounts to $67,385.

Horticultural and American Institute Fairs. ‘The annual exhibition of the Horticultural Society is given this year in connection with the cattle show of the Amorican Instituto. It is located in the large rooms over the fine depot of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, at Sixty-sixth street, and although legs extensive than usual, has many interesting features which make it quite as at- tractive as any of the many preceding efforts of this society, mee various departments present a variety of new including a number of new plants, fruits and vegetables never before exhibited. Among the vegetables, besides extensive collections presented by Mr. W. S. Carpenter, Mr. Samuel Ruth, and Mr. John G. ‘Thompson, a noticeable assortment is afforded from the establishment of Mr. James Gordon Bennett at Washing- ton Heights. These are three tremondous pumpkins, weighing from 160to 170 pounds cach, besides. mus melons, early turnip beets, deep red beets, onions, squash, early darling corn, lima beans, broad leaf spinach and citron, It will be perceived that the Bennett pumpkins took the first prize, and the other vegetables and melons were duly recognized in the list of awards, Mr. Carpenter exhibited sixty varieties. of pe- tatoes, twenty-five of tomatoes, and twenty-one from of squash, among which were several variction the Sandwich Islands and other Pacific islands. Among the curiosities in the vegetable way are several duck-neck pumpkins. Mr. Thompson, of Staten Island, exhibits a beet weighing ten pounds, which he says grew from the seed, in common Rockaway sand, without manure, and nourished only by weil water. ‘The floral department has a curiosity in the shape of a. flower lady, composed entirely of the rarest flowers, by. itzpatrick, at the suggestion of the President of the- Society, Mr. Groshon. It may be imagined that her na- tural perfume requires not the improvements usually ia favor with the fair sex. The floral ornaments, dabliag and rare flowers are well deserving of a visit.

A large portion of land is in- closed and a number of stalis are erected, partly occupied. There was, however, nothing like order or completeness to warrant extended notice. The cattle had been allowed such liberties over most of the ground that walking was quite precarious. It was announce that, should the wea- ther continue unfavorable, the greater part of the exhibi- tion will be continued until Saturday, and perhaps in the carly part of next week. Billiard Match in Chicago; {From the Chicago Times, Sept. 18. previously announced, a mateh game of billiards be- tween Michael Phelan, the champion billiard player of America, and the but little less well known Phil. Tieman, of Cincinnati, came off at McVicker’s theatre yesterday morning. ‘e were not disappointed in seeing so thin an audience, for which various causes could be apprized, @ prominent one was the great attraction on the fair ground, but the principal cause was the high price charged for admission. Amateur knights of the cue will always hesi- tate before investing a dollar to witness a game of bil- liards, though the contestants be champions, when by visiting the billiard saloons of our city they can see them gratis, and the masses take too little interest in such sports to pay for witnessing an hour’s playing a sum that would admit them to two full theatrical performances in the same house. Manager McVicker had everything arranged most satis- factorily for the players, and also for the reporters of the daily press, and at half past ten precisely he introduced Messrs. Phelan and Tieman to those present, prefacing the introduction with a few appropriate remarks, to the effect that it was afriendly match between two friends, &c. Mr. Geary, of the Colossus billiard rooms, acted as game keeper. “The table used on the occasion was one with Phelan's patent combination cushions.
