Several celebrated Singing Societies from the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore will be present on the occasion. The Festi val will commence with n grand concert on Monday evening, on which occasion a num ber of distinguished musicians from abroad, and at home, will appear. On Tuesday, there will be a grand plc-nic, for which oc casion the Fair grounds have been secured and will be fitted up in excellent style. Cirri's.—By advertisement it will be seen that Sands. N.tthans .1: Co's Circus will ex hibit here un 31 mday, Sept. 12th, afternoon and evening. They are strong in biped and quadruped performers, rejoicing in trained elephants of surpri,ing docility, sagacity and agility. The ears of the community will be tieliled, moreover, hy strains from the melodious Calliope, a species of steam hand organ and hrass Land combined.— The company of performers includes some oC the molt celebrated in the country. Fine.—At about a quarter befurz ten o'clock on Friday morning a fire broke out in the dwelling of Mr. Benjamin Barr, in Locust street below Fourth, a fr.tmc build• big, and communicated to the adjoining house, on the cast, of Mr. Daniel Ifoisley, also a frame, and thence extended in the same dire,aiun to a brick dwelling belong ing to Mr. Frederick S. Bletz occupied by Mr. G. M. Claw,;e3. All these buildings were C3l:lSumod, the front wall only of Mr Bletz's house remaining. The three-story brick house luljoining Mr. Barr's dwelling on the west, was several times o.i fire, at the cornice in fr,..nt, but an occasional stream from one of the engines extinguished it.— The roof was kept well wetted, and the wind blowing 5tr0n,71 . .. from the raeaped a,.ma g e. Several of the dwellings on the south side of Lqcnst street were repeatedly on fire, but by waVhful,zatention they were preserved. The - Columbia and Vigilant En gines were in seriice and playing on the burning buildings, but their efforts were crippled by the want of "head" to the we ter. _ The lacality_Of the fire was so'riear the reservoir, that Alm _plugs failed to supply water asretpidly.tus jtyras used by the en gines, consequently it was impossible, al though the reservoir wasfull, to keep a con stant stream of water cm the fire. The Sus quehanna, a Suction Engine, was finally stationed at the reservoir and supplied the Columbia. The firemen worked faithfully, and, in spite of the disadvantages under which they labored, were instrumental in preventing a vast destruction of property. [Lid the fire obtained foothold on the south side of Locust street, there is -no foreseeing the limit of the conflagration. The frame buildings to the south and eastward would all hale been destroyed. William Gabriel was knocked down by a brick from a falling chimney, and his head severely though not seriously wounded.— Ws hurts were cared for and we believe he is nut much the worse fur the accident. There was insurance on Mr. Bletz's and Mr. Lleisley's buildings, and we believe on Mr. Barr's; how much we did not learn— ' probably not sufficient to cover damages. During the fire an unpleasant misunder standing occurred between the firemen acd a member of the Water Company, which led to a report that the free use of the water had been refused, and the deficiency in the supply of water was owing to fault or ne glect on the part of the Company. We have been assured by the parties concerned that instead of a disposition to limit the use or water on the above occasion, there was a desire on their part to afford every facility for obtaining a full and sufficient supply, which statement can, and will if necessary, be substantiated by statements front most I reliable and disintereste 1 parties, in relation to the measures taken to put the reservoirs in the best condition fur obtaining water at the time of the Fro. Much bitter feeling was excited; not more than the alleged facts, bad they been facts, would have war-1 ranted; but, as we have said, these state- I ments have been positively denied, and the denial supported by evidence of not only willingness, but desire, OTI the part of the Company, to use every means in its power to furnish a sufficient supply of water. The reservoirs were full, but, as we have stated above, there was not sulli.ient fall to keep the engines supplied. New Books, Periodicals, &c Citmass DicKE3s 7 WORKS.—Tne well known firm of T. B. Peterson S. Brothers, 300 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, have just commenced publishing a remarkably cheap edition of those unapproachable works of fiction. It is called "Petersons' Cheap Edi tion for the Million, of the entire writings of Charles Dickens, Boz," and will be is sued complete in Twenty-eight weekly vol umes. One volume will be published regu larly on each and every Saturday, until the whole number of volumes—twenty-eight— is completed. The low price fired by the publishers for them is only 25 cents a vol ume, or the whole twenty-eight volumes for five dollars. A complete set will be for warded Free of Postage, by Mail, to any part of the United States, to any one,' by the publklicrs, on receiving a remittance of five dollars fur the twenty-eight volumes; or a remittance of three dollars will pay fur the first fourteen volumes: or a remittance of one dollar will pay for the first four vol umes. The volumes will be neatly printed, and each volume will contain IGO large cc taro pages, printed on tine white paper, and I neatly bound with paper cover. The revised uniform Edinburgh edition, from which this is reprinted. comprises twenty-eight volumes, the cost of which is Seventy-five dollars; and this edition will contain every word of the Edinburgh edition. We com mend the determination of this enterprising Philadelphia firm, to furnish the complete 1-and entire works of Charles Dickens at a ' I price so reasonable, that all persons what over may possess a full set, and direct the e•-pecial attention of our readers to the fact, and would advi e them all to make a remit tance or five dollars at once, per first mail, to the publishers, for the entire set, who will send them complete to any one, free of poeit yr, on receipt of that sum.

It is a collection of the sayings of that venerable dame, Mrs. Ruth Parting ton, with other sketches, poems &c., of Mr. ShiDaher.

Would it not be well, and add to the reputation of our Bo rough, if a second story were erected over said market-house, as a place of temporary confinement fur malefactors and vagrants? The costs of the additional structure would be but a trifle, as the same roof will answer fur both purposes. The present dungeon, under the Town Hall, is not a proper place for any human being to be immured, unless accused of the highest crimes on the crim inal calender. It admits of no breath of air to visit the prisoner's face, except that which enters through a few punctures, in window and door, about I of an inch i n diamter, and in the sweltering weather of July and August is enough to induce Ver tigo and death. The effect of incarceration in such a prison as this, on the mind of nn iimoceut person, or one charged with a slight misdemeanor, is frightfully deleteri ous. A girl was placed in this cellar, nbuut a year ago, who set fare to the straw and would have burned up together with the building. had not the fact have been dis elo.ed in good time by the smoke issuing therefrom. A magistrate some few years ;ago, we have been informed, in the exercise of his plenary power, committed a feeble and harmless old man to this dungeon for intoxication, who released himself from his prison house—his lifeless remains having been found next morning dangling against the iron door, suspended by his handker chief, attaehed to his cane, which latter was inserted in 000 of the punctures. It being impossible to remove the pris oners to Lancaster immediately on their ar rest, males and females are thrown together in this cellar—which is about twelve feet square—without any division between them except that which may arise from diversity of thought and feeling. The present lock up answers very well fur the worst class of criminals, from the security it affords ns safe plaice of lodgement, and should be re tained fur this purpose; but it is necessary, for the credit of the Borough, that there should ho another and better place of con finement for the accommodation of the crowds of applicants. JUSTICE or PCACC THE SEA SERPI:I%T C CGLIT.—The Yar mouth Register says that the far-fantod sea serpent has lately visited that port, and was chased up a narrow creek and caught. Ile turned out to Le a horse mackerel, measuring ever eight feet in length, and weighing 31G pounds. The Register says: "It is the opin:on of experienced fisher men that this is the fish which has given rise to the belief in a sea serpent. When it is running at its ordinary speed in search of prey, it moves along just under the sur face of the water, producing a wave which rises up in a series of corrugations for about one hundred feet in a straight line, before it falls off into the ordinary spreading wake produced by a body moving through the water. This appearance in moderate weather so closely resembles that of a huge serpent moving over the surface of the water that it is difficult, even for those ac customed to the appearance, to realize that it is nothing but a wave, and it is not strange that, when t•een fur the first time, it should strike the beholder with terror." SAMAPARILLA.—This tropical root has reputation wide as the world, for curing one class of the disorders that afflict mankind— a. reputation too which it doer es as the best antidote we possess fur scrofulous com plaints. But to be brought into use, its virtues must be concentrated and combined with other medicines that increase its power. Some reliable compound of this character is much needed in the commnnity.—Read the advertisement of Da. AYER'S Sarsaparilla in our columns, and we know it needs no enco mium from us to give our citizens confidence in what he offers.—Organ, Sgraeuee, Dar The greatest thoughts seem degraded in their passage through little minds.— Even the wads of heaven make but mean music when whistling through a key-hole.

Scarcely any topic of medical science has elicited more acute observatign and profound research; and yet physicians are very much divided in opinion on the subject.
