The first Fair of the North Carolina jState Agri cultural Society," which commenced in this City on Tuesday last, has far surpassed the most sanguine expectations of its friends. We hear on'll sides the liveliest expressions of gratification at ;thei display which has been made of our resources in "agriculture, in mechanics, in minerals,' .in manufactures, in ma-: chinery of various kinds, in horses and cattle," in" household productions, and in the fine arts. The list which we publish to-day wilt afford some idea of the extent and variety of the exhibition ; many ar ticles are, however, unlisted, and it is probable that there are not less than eight hundred, counting all. Of course vre cannot anticipate the decisions of the Committees appointed to examine the various articles, nor would it be proper for us to make discrimina tions, or to attempt to single - out what we might deem superior either in kind or appearance ; but we may hereafter, when we. publish the list of premi ums, take occasion to allude, with: some particulari ty to articles and their merits.1. , ' 3 v ' : 1 The attendance was larger on Wednesday than on any other day- the assemblage . not being lcss,: we think, than four thousand.

There nas not.Deen one election held since November last in which the democrats have not increased their vote. The-fact is worthy of record and remembrance, and every friend of liberal - principles will do well to mark it, and contrast it with the foolish statements of whig papers as to the unpopularity of the adminis tration as a whole, and the incompetency or misman agement of this or that particular member of it The voice of the people may be wrong at times but its "sober second thought " is almost invariably right and efficient All the States where elections have been held come up with more or less unanimity in support of the administration, and its broad Ameri can policy. Of the four States alone that supported Scott the whigs cannot really claim one ! The only cause for regret that we find is that we are too strong. Our friend Crutchfield, of the Petersburg Ex press writes a capital letter from Raleigh to his paper of Thursday. - He does the fullest justice to the Fair and to North Carolina. Among other things' he says : " Before I close, it is due to the press to state that Mr. Holdenof the Standard, exhibits some very beau tiful specimens of printing. They would clo credit to any Boston establishment, celebrated the world over for their perfect typography. Mr. Whitaker of the Live Giraffe, exhibits a pair of large and healthy Shanghae fowl, and Mr; Moore. of the Warrenton News, has no specimen on exhibition, save his own intelligent and happy face, which I have encountered throughout the" grounds, and at almost every turn. Mr.. W..I. Pomeroy, bookseller and publisher. Fav- etteville street, exhibits several volumes of splendid ly bound books. No Carolinian need go north for books of any description. Mr. P. can furnish as good an article, and on better terms, than any house norm 01 mat mucn talked ot line, known as Mason & Dixon's." Thank you, Sir. We could not well omit the al lusion to the Standard's printing without marring the paragraph. Mr. Crutchfield adds : "The agricultural and mineral resources of the State are well represented. To enumerate each and every specimen would be a vain attempt I have not the time," and if I had, the columns of your paper are not sufficiently numerous to contain it Every species of cattle, all descriptions of fowl, agricultural instruments, vegetables, fruits, flowers and beautiful pieces of mechanism are to be seen most admirably arranged and well displayed. As much as I have read, and as much as I have heard in regard to the resources and products of this State I never before could fully realize the truth in regard to these mat ters."

Nash County has never yet been beaten in game chickens, pretty girls, trotting horses and pure De mocracy. By the way, that trotting match on Thurs day, between McDanicl's black marc and Mordecai's bay horse Mac, was quite exciting. The marc led at last, but the bay horse sustained himself finely, showing himself a capital trotter. " ; . ' Premiums at Diplomas. We learn that the Re ports of Judges to award premiums, &c. for articles on exhibition at the Fair will be read to-day, Friday, at 12 o'clock on the Fair Grounds. The Committees have had difficulty, owing to the pressure of the crowd, in performing their duties; and at a meeting of the Society on Thursday night a Committee was associated with the Secretary to arrange and prepare the Reports for the press. We shall, if at all possi ble, have the Reports of the Judges in our next is sue; but we fear at present that they cannot be prepared for the press by that time. ; We cannot permit the occasion to pass with out rendering a just tribute to the energy and fideli ty, of -the officers, of the State Agricultural Society ' for the past year. All of them, from the late worthy President, ; Mr. Dancy, to the subordinates, have ac quitted themselves in the best manner ; and we know it will not be regarded as improper in us to say that Dr. Tompkins, Mr.""james F. Taylor, Mr. Poole, Mr. Whitaker, the late Treasurer, and Maj. Nixon are entitled to particular credit for their labors. The two latter gentlemen have, especially, been unwearied in their ; efforts," and the arrangements, at : the ' Fair Grounds are mainly the results of their zeal and at-, tention.; .' - ; r .

Its " unpickabmty" de pends on a secondary or false set of tumblers, which prevent the instruments used in picking from reach ing the real ones.' Moreover, the lock is .powder-, proof, and may be loaded-through the keyhole and, fired off until the burglar is tired of his fruitless work, or fears that thareport'of his explosions .wul . bring to view his experiments more witnesses : than, he desires. ': - - " . l.t , j. Doors and shutters have also been patented, that cannot be broken through with either pick or sledge hammer "The burglar's occupation's gone.". r . A harpoon is described which .makes the whale kill himself. . The more he pulls the line the deeper goes the harpoon. . , -. An ice-making machine has been patented, which goes by a steam engine. In an experimental trial, it froze several bottles of sherry and produced blocks of ice of the size of a cubic foot, when the Lhermom-, cter was standing at 80 degrees. It is calculated that for every ton of coal put into the furnace it will make a ton of ice. - From Dr. Gale's examiner's Report we gather some idea of the value of patents, v A man who had made a slight improvement in straw-cutters, took a model of his machine through the Western States, and after a tour of eight months returned with $40,000. Another had a machine to thresh and clean grain, which in fifteen months he sold for $G0,000. A third obtained a patent for a printer's ink, refused $50,000 for it and finally sold it for $60,000. These are ordinary cases; while such inventions as the telegraph, the planing ma chine, and the India rubber patents are worth mil lions each. - Examiner Lane's Report describes various new electrical inventions. Among these is an electric whaling apparatus, by which the whale is literally " shocked to death." Another is an electro-magnetic alarm, which rings bells and displays signals in case of fire or burglars. Another is an elictric clock, which wakes you up, tells vou what time it is, and lights'a lamp for you, at any hour you please. There fs a "sound gatherer," a sort of huge ear trumpet, to be placed in front of a locomotive, bring ing to the engineer's ear all the noises ahead, per fectly distinct, notwithstanding the rattle of the train. - There is an invention that picks up pins from a confused heap, turns them all round with their heads up, and sticks them in papers, in regular rows. Another goes through the whole process of cigar making, taking in tobacco leaves and turning out the perfect article.' One machine cuts cheese ; another scours knives and forks ; another blacks boots ; another rocks the cradle; and seven or eight take in washing and ironing. There is a parlor chair patented, that cannot be tipped back on two legs, and a railway chair that can be tipped back into any position, without any legs at all. Another patent is for a machine that counts the passengers in an omnibus and takes their fares. When a very fat man gets in, it counts two, and charges double. There are a variety of guns patented that load themselves; a fish-line that adjusts its own bait; and a rat-trap that throws away tho rat, and then baits and sets itself, and shands in the corner for another. The truths of the patent office arc stranger than fiction. ' There is a machine also by which a man prints, instead of writing, his thoughts. It is played on like a piano. And speaking of pianos, it is estima ted that nine thousand are made every year in the United States, giving constant employment to one thousand nine hundred hands, and costing over two millions of dollars. Episcopal Convention. On Thursday tht difficul ty relative to the resignation of Dr. L. Silliman Ives, late Bishop of North Carolina, was finally settled by the adoption of the Canon, designed to meet the ex igencies of the case, and framed by the Houso of Bishops. Some trifling amendments were intro duced, but they were rather of a character to render the general provisions of the Canon more stringent and comprehensive than to alter the spirit of the ori ginal. The course pursued by the Diocese of North Carolina in declaring the Bishopric vacant, after the receipt of Dr. Ives' letter of resignation, and proceed ing to the election of a successor was ratified the consecration of the Bishop elect determined on, and the doctrines established that the abandoning of the communion of tire Church by any Bishop, Priest or Deacon, amounts de facto to a deposition. The N. Y. Express says, the Bishop elect of North Carolina, Rev.' T. Atkinson, will be consecrated in Trinity Church this week, in a more imposing man ner than -ever before fell to the lot of an American Bishop. No less than twenty-eight American Bish ops, together with Rt Rev. Dr. Spencer, ex-Bishop of Madras, Rt Rev. Dr. Medley, Bishop of Frederic-- ton, N. B., and Rt. Rev. Dr. Boone, American Misr sionary Bishop to China, will witness and participate in the solemn ceremony. The consecration of Rev. Dr. Davis, Bishop elect of South Carolina, will be conducted at the same time. Latest Foreign News. The latest foreign news is by the Asia. Many rumors are afloat in regard to Russia and Turkey, but nothing decisive. ' The Sultan, it is said, had not yet signed the declaration of war.

Great Britain, the single rate of postage is 24 cents, pre-paynjfent optional.' On eith er a letter or packet ot any weight the wAow'post- age or noiie at all should .bepre-paid.-v If anything- less' than the whole : is prepaid, no account is taken of it, and it is entirely lost to the sender. The Brit ish post office declines to change this, rule, except on conditions considered inadmissible. - r ' In the Prussian closed mails to Germany, 30 cents is the single rate, prc-paymcnt optional. This pays from any part of the United .States to any part of the German" Austrian postal union." A pro-payment of any sum less than the regular' rate of 80 cents is not recognized, and is of course lost to the sender. A note ot fractions of the rate could not be taken without seriously complicating the accounts, besides causing much additional labor and trouble at the ex change offices. But, contrary to the practice 'under the United States and British postal convention, in the Prussian mail every full rate of 80 cents is cred ited, whether the whole postage on a letter or packet is pre-paid 'or not leaving any7 balance duo to be collected at the office of delivery. ' . ' . -. By the Bremen mail the rule is the same as under the Prussian arrangement The single rate to Bre men is 10 cents, to Oldenburg 12,' to Hamburg 15, to Altona and Hanover 21, and to any other place in Germany 22 cents, prc-payment optional. "In cither case a pre-payment of any fraction of the full rate goes for nothing. - The rule rating letters to all foreign countries (ex cept the British North American provinces) is to charge one rate for half an ounce or under, two rates if the weight is over one-half and not exceeding an ounce ; four rates if over one and not exceeding two ounces ; six rates if over two and not exceeding three ounces; and so on, charging two rates for every ounce or fractional part of an ounce over the first ounce. As this rule differs from that followed in respect to domestic letters, where each half ounce or fraction of a half ounce counts as one rate only, post masters who arc not careful to' observe this differ ence, are liable, of course, to commit mistakes. The Administration. To all democratic readers who have watched with an unprejudiced eye, the course of the administration, any eulogy upon its vtliciency and sound republicanism will be supernu ous. In fact, all political parties arc compelled to admit that the policy of the President proves that he is actuated by the purest motives, the most ardent patriotism, and a design to sustain true, national democratic principles. There is no doubt that in these troublous times, when " wars and rumors of wars are convulsing the Old orld, and gigantic enterprises arc agitating the New, public attention, and not without censure, will be earnestly directed, as in the times of President Jackson, towards the heads of government Their acts will be bitterly disparaged by their political opponents and by the malcontents of our own party, and it will devolve upon the President and his cabinet to accomplish, without regard to men, and by an inflexible purpose, the course which their deliberate judgment shall have recommended to them. The country looks to them with confidence in this particular, for it has already awarded to them the attributes of nrmness, sagacity, discretion, and Am cricnnism in a degree never excelled by any 01 their predecessors. A great change is already Sensibly felt, and all portions of the country arc invigorated by the renovation of American energy, and the de termined spirit which guaranties the accomplish ment of great enterprises at home, the preservation. at all hazards, of the union of the States, and the defence and .elevation of the national honor in the view of all nations. loica Despatch. Rise in the Price of Wheat. Intelligence by the Humboldt informs us that, in the corn trade the ex citement had increased rather than diminished, and prices were still expected to go higher. The wheat crop in the United Kingdom being more deficient than was at first supposed, whilst in France the de ficiency was greater than in England, and in most of the countries bordering the Baltic, . the quality and quantity of grain was inferior to expectation ; and adding to these considerations the fear of war be tween Russia and Turkey, by which the supplies from the Black Sea would be intercepted, a still further rise in prices occurred io Marklane on the 26th ult Kick. Enq. Tns Bishop of.Nortu Carolina. It will be seen by the proceedings of the Episcopal General Conven tion that the difficulty in regard to the credentials of the Rev. Dr. Atkinson, of Baltimore, Bishop elect of North Carolina, and the resignation of Dr. Ives, his predecessor, has been amicably settled by the Con vention resolving to accept them as valid and regular. The new Bishop, therefore, will be consecrated, and it is said with great ceremony, at Trinity church, in New York, as soon as the Convention shall adjourn. On the same occasion Bishop Ives will be regularity deposed. The reported death of Morisscy, one of the parties to the late prize fight, is contradicted in the New York papers. At last accounts he was still alive, though in a despcrato condition. The stakes ($2, 000) had been handed over by the holder to Sullivan, notwithstanding the judges decided in favor of Mor rissey. A disgraceful row growing out of the above affair took place at a tavern called the " Gem, " on Broadway, on. Friday afternoon, and in the course of the melee, " Awful Gardner " bit off a part of the car of " Dublin Tricks, " chewed it up and spit it out on the floor! Gold Hill. There no longer remains any doubt of the sale of the celebrated mines at Gold Hill, in this County, to a Northern company. Burton Craige, Esq., informs us that he has been fixing the writings between the parties, counting the money, Ac We have not ascertainedathe whole amount of the sales, but it is probably not over a half million of dollars. One lot was sold for $105,000, and the cash paid down; another for $45,000; and another, the cash for which was paid down in gold, for $18,000. &dibury Banner. Great Feats in Diving. ? Among the remarkable feats of diving lately performed at Bath, England, it is mentioned that a seaman dove down with a pair of laced boots on hi3 feet and a pair of Wellingtons in his hand, but returned to the surface wearing the Wellingtons and carrying tho laced boots. :. He after wards dove with a jacket and a pairoftrowscrs in his hand, dressed himself while under water, and on re turning to the surface took a pipo filled with tobaccor from his pocket, struck a ' light and--moked while floating en his back.

" -r that all could not obtain omce was manifest, and I mongst the different sections of the party was equal" ly certain. Yet the distribution was, intended to be so made as to give just cause' of complaint to no one section, and it is believed that this intention has been carried out not only by the President himself, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the offices under the latter. It has so happened that your appointments have been very generally made, from that portion of the party to which you adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union and harmony, that de sirable object has failed to be obtained, and the oth er portion of the party feel that they have" not been fully recognized by you. and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. 1 call your at tention to this subject, and to the fact that the Presi dent and his Cabinet, with entire unanimity, recog nize that portion of the party as Democrats distinctly avowing and hrmly maintaining the principles of the Baltimore platform, and entitled to be recognized by appointment to official stations in your department. Allow me to express the expectation that you will so recognize them in the only way that will carry conviction with it I have not hitherto deemed it necessary to make any particular inquiry as to the section of the Demo cratic party to which persons nominated for posi tions in the Custom-I louse at New York belonged prior to the reunion of the party in 1849 which re union was supposed to have been' thoroughly ce mented in the great .and triumphant contest in 1852. But as the present excited state of feeling among po litical friends who acted together in 1852, and . who now stand unequivocally upon the same platform and principles in New York, is suggestive of - a discrimi nation, of which the administration will not approve. I shall send a copy of this letter to the Naval Officer and the Surveyor of the Port, in order that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which the President will require to be pursued.
