We have just witnessed the termination of the Annual State Fair of our good old Com monwealth, held under the most favorable cir cumstances, on the most beautiful spot, and near the most delightful city in Pennsylvania. Every advantage conspired to make this a great occasion. It had been long advertised. The'rnost distinguished men of the State gave it their countenance and their aid, but, some how or other, it was a most conspicuous fail ure. We do not blame the very - excellent gentlemen who had charge of this celebration; neither Mr. 'NOG/MT, the worthy president, nor Judge ° WAtr>f, of Carlisle—the highly ac complished orator—of whom we may say that the exhibition of his own county of Cumber land is the best evidence of his thorough ex potence 'and enthusiasm in the cause of agri culture in Pennsylvania. Whether it is be cause the counties have refused to send for Ward their best products to this central point, or whether because the State organiza tion has been unable to oiler the proper in ducements to the fanners of the Interior, we think we speak the general opinion when we say that the fair came tamely off. It is no purpose of Ours to descend to par ticulars, nor to show wherein this exhibition Mot failed to fulfil the expectations of the thou sands who crowded to witness it ; but wo have only to call the attention of our readers to the very brier telegraphic despatch in Tut PAESS of, yesterday morning, giving an account of the State Fair held at St. Louis, Missouri— which concluded its session on the 3d of Oc tober—to show how they manage these exhiz bitions in other states, and how we ought to manage them in ours. The premiums offered fortorsea alone at this fair ought to arrest the attention of all thp citizens of Pennsylvania who are desirous of seeing our State excel in this sort of enterprise. The State Fair of Nis. soul is always held, 'once a year, near the city of St. , Louis, under circumstances which attract to it not only the intellect, wealth, and beauty of Missouri itself, but of all the sur rounding,States. The grounds appropriated for this purpose are remarkable for Moir eligi bility of location saitt adaptability to so great an event; and the buildings aro substantial, and elegant evidencea of architectural perfec tion. , The prizes offered for superior spa. mons of stock, the products of the earth, and for every conceivable variety of agricultural and inecinutleal skill, aro not only liberal, but extravagant. Sr : bopis being a great point on fhb Mississippi river, pa a rising city, containing , many tuobitfous anci wealthy men, sees :in the success of the State Fair of ,Missouri her own prosperity, and there, fore generously contributes to it out cf her :own, personal funds. What is true of Missouri, however, is true of Illinois, Ken tucky, and Objo, atof of nearly all the New England States. -The complaint of Philadelphia has sifyitya been that we do not sufficiently attract atm gers, froin other parts of the country. Mere now ja an opportunity to ao so. Let us invite the State Argienitural Society to hold its sea -1 skins near Pbitmleiplpja every year. To this end lot our munieipality„ony, merchants, me chanics, and wealthy citizens unite in proyi ding a place where this exhibition may be maintained on a scale commensurate with the dignity of the State and the importance of Philadelphia. f i at no single element be want ing to make the thing ceroplete in all its de -1 partments, so that not mm l ol4o 'Wore of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, suit Mary 'land, may be tempted hither, but that the planters agile South, and the inventors of the gad, may find it alike to the gratification 'of their Womb; and their pleasure to par ' ticipate in the demonstration. We throw this out as - a hint, and will hereafter give Mir wows 1 at length on the subject. Witter-Gas. At the experiment, by which Wilmington was lighted with water-gas on Saturday even ing, rosin was the carbonizing clement em ployed. But the process is not confined to the nee of rosin, for it "also covers the use of bituminous coal, lignite, or any of the multi tudinous mate.. . forms of hydro-carbonaceous dal," Therefore, a ruinous rise in the price of rosin, anticipated by an able correspondent (whose coveranuiestion is excluded by its length, for one day at ies), need not be dreaded. In the South, - where minis largely produced, it will be the carbonizing element. In other places, various substitutes, equally available, will ho employed. Our correspondent politely points out an ,error in our calculation on Monday, He is right, and we were wrong. The statement should have been as follows : The quantity of coal-gas annually used in the city of Philadel phia is estimated at 600,000,000 cubic feet, for which, at $2.25 per thousand, the public, pay $1,850,000 per annum. Say that the water gas he supplied at $1 per thousand cubic feet, the annual saving to the public would be $150,000. New York consumes twice us much gas, it is said, as Philadelphia. r There- • fore 1,200,000,000 cubic feet of coal-gas at $2.50 per thousand cubic feet, now cost $3,000,000, and, should the water-gas be substituted, the saving would be $1,800,000 a yetir. We are at a loss to know how the error in our former statement occurred, and are really too mag nanimous to throw it upon that usual scape goat, ‘c the printer." We suspect that it • was the result of our own hasty transcription of the calculations, which we find agree exactly with the figures now given. Btute Elections. On Monday last elections were held in Geor gia and Mississippi for members of Congress, and in Florida for local and Judicial officers. On Tuesday next general elections will be held hi the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, and Minnesota. No members of Con gress are to be chosen in the latter States, ex cept one—in Ohio—to till a vacancy. The Le gislature to be chosen In Ohio will elect a Uni ted States Senator, in place of Hon. GEO. E. Pilau, Democrat ; the Legislature to be chosen in lowa will elect O. United States Senator in place of JAatiiii HABLAII, Republican; and the Legislature to be chosen in Minnesota will elect a United States Senator in place of Gen. Sumns, Democrat. A very animated politi cal ,contest is now progressing in these three States, the Opposition being united under the Republican banner and the Democratic party on the Douglas platform. The canvass in Pennsylvania is of a character widely different from that maintained in any other Northern State. Here the Opposition assumes the name of the 'cc People's Party," without refe rence to the distinctive platform of the Repub licans, and the State Convention of the 16th of March, instead of adopting Popular Sove reignty doctrines, planted itself squarely upon the Administration platform. Ott the Tuesday after the first ilmulay in November elections will be held in the States of Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, If linoisOfichigan, and Wisconsin. Jam. B.

In the humorous and satirical, Park Benjamin is unquestionably in the van of our lecttire-board champions. He is In the rho also in one other sense—so either by itecident, common consent, or •ome other undefinable cause: we refer to his "leading off" thW lecture season. Last year, we 'have a disttnet recollection of Mr. Benjamin's ap pearing before a very flattering Philadelphia au dience several days In advance of the brilliant host of lecturers which followed him, having then in augurated the season by reading, in Musical Fund Hall, his lecture on " Social Life in America," which he did on Tuesilly evening, October 19th. This year he appears again in the van of his lite rary compeers, and, as the dates show, compared with last, just fifteen days in the van of himself. Ile is, therefore, in a fourfbld sense, Van. Park Benjamin, which prefix, the reader will perceive, at once settles the mooted nationality of our hu morous and satirical hero, and places another gem in the Dutch diadem of immortal "Pans." His theme last evening was a noble ono, though not entirely new Jo a Philadelphia audience, Mr. Benjamin having on a former occasion delivered his Poem on "The Prcso" in this bity. While the lecture proper, however, was not altogether new t) us, the introductory poetical tribute to the late Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, with which it was prefaced, rendered the entertainment of the evening highly acceptable and pleasing to the audience, which, though highly respectable, was not so largo as the merits of the entertainment really deserved. At eight o'clock the lecturer appeared upon the platform looking himself in every particular. lie was warmly greeted by the audience. It was generally supposed that the Kane poem was to be of Mr. Benjamin's own production ; but the follow ing statement soon undteeived us on that point : The lecturer said that he should take the liberty of prefacing his amen production by reading a poem which had been composed and sent to him by a Western farmer residing thirty miles from Milwau kee, and which ho felt would be especially accepta ble In Philadelphia, where the name of the subject of these lines was so deservedly cherished and as- •• . $BO 00 ... 112 50 ... 217 50 330 00 85 00 102 00 teemed. The name of the Western farmer to'whom was assigned the honor of this metrical production was given as George W. Chapman, and without at tempting to analyze Its merits here, we may add, what to the reader will probably answer as good a purpose, that Mr. Benjamin regards It as an extra ordinary composition, enough so to have fully won for its author, had he lived in England fifty yeah ago, the celebrity which in our day is sought with so much uncertainty. It was a highly finished composition—wonderfully so when looked at as the production of an uneducated Western farmer, which it is said to be. In the former part of the poem were recounted, with, great poetic skill, the most thrilling scenes in the groat explorer's life, so admirably portrayed in his biography, by Dr. Elder, The poem concluded, Mr. Benjamin mid that he was happy to inform the audience that the Kane Monument Association wee now about completing its arrangements to erect, at a suitable place in the city of Now York, at w." distant day, a marble tri• Mite to the memory of Dr. Kane, at a cost of twen ty-five thousand dollars, which announcement, as the poems had previously been, was received. with Ills poem on " The Press" was eulogistical, mi. tient, satirical, and comical by turns, and—read as it was by its talented author, with excellent ef fect—we may add, never ptov. Laughable glimpses were given at Thaokeray, Dickens. Mac kay (end his friend Puller,) Mrs.Southworth, and many other literary notables, as he progressed, eliciting at intervals, and apparently at the option of the jovial-faced lecturer, great laughter and applause. The part devoted lo the Daily Press was peril° u'arly amusing, and at times quite philosophioal " The daily Press, where everybody reads The faithful record of t hoe ghts. words. and deeds." The lecture delineation of the breakfast scene, with all its comfortlivlng dainties, was a fine fea ture of the poem. The morning paper, so essential to every intelli gent man's breakfast in ikis age, was characterized " The mental sweetener of the feast, For which we long the most and pay the least." Recent subjects of newspaper discussion wore happily interwoven in the poem, so that, besides the qualities already named, it was also in a moe• sure historical. Italy, the " loved home of art," Alamein for a special share of the poet's sympathy, and received a fitting tribute at has hands. As the first literary lecture) of the season, this effort of Mr. Benjamin was a success, and will doubtless prove to have been the prelude to a brit• tient series of these intellectual feasts, during the coming winter.

As many of our readers doubtless feel inteyosted to know what is said of bins in the city of his late residence, we give the following from the Buffalo Commercial Adver tiser: FAREWELL SEllanN.—Every seat and standing place in the intshington-streetnaptist Church was filled last night with people anxious to hear the farewell sermon of the pastor, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith. The church was crowded to its very ut most capacity, and hundreds went away not abla to obtain standing room, The fact of the tiling of each a mass of people to beer his farewell words from the pulpit, shows the great esteem in which the pastor of this church ishold, and testifies in plain language the regret experienced at his d aperture, We are sure that wherever Mr. Smith is known, the announcement that he has preached his bait sermon among us, and inn few days will take bis departure for the city of Philadelphia, will be heard with unfeigned regret. Mr. Smith has an attractive style of preaching, and has, ever since he has been connected with the W esitinglomxtreet Church, bad large and intelligent andlences. Ifs hes preached muds to young men, anti with eon, vincing power, as is evidenced in the great num ber that have nightly Soaked to hear him, and the many who aro proud to call him Metal.

It will be difficult to supply the cold made by the removal of Mr. Smith from our city ; in him we lose a pious, social member of our society, such men as we do not like to part with.

I have myself seen Caleb Cush ing, who is an extraordinary instance of intelloo 'ual industry and intellectual resources, keeping his pon busy while the House was in the throes of i groat discussion, and yet I know that his ear was open to everything going on, and that he was always ready to speak ant to vote when his turn lame. Joseph R. Chandler, of Pennsylvania, was another instance of this sort; John Quincy Adams another; and infect, nearly all the working men— thes° most attentive to their legislative duties— labored steadily and persistently at the littletlesks placed before them, when not addressing the chair ar compelled to keep a strict watch in the last hours of the session, when plunder schemes wore in danger of being spate,/ through in appropria tion bins, Jco. The mon who do the work are fond of pen, ink tnil paper, and like to have those weapons before them. Think, for a moment, of compelling snob men as John S. Phelps, of Missouri, Thomas S. flocock, of Virginia, Warren Winslow, of North Oarolina, Winter Davis, of Maryland, Tom Corwin, of Ohio, Isaac Morris, of Illinois, John Hickman, Pennsylvania. John 11. Hoskin, Horace Clarke, Ind John Cochrane, of Now York; to Stand up be- fore the walls of the House, with thoir backs to the ipeaker, writing letters and franking documents, while the busineAs is going on probably out of ear . Aot. I think I can see the Hon. Thomas B. Flo ranee perched up on a three-legged, stool, like "Tim Ltrikenwater," of immortal memory, with hie ravenous pen in his hand, writing letters for lubscribera to "The National Democratic Be- view," and addressing the " widows" of the First Congressional district, unable to hear what is going en, and unable to shine hie full and pleasant face upon the Speaker! I repent, the experiment will not succeed. The indolent members may like it well enough, but I think the hard-working men will revolt against it before the new year by dawned upon the country. I regret to perceive that a simultaneous attack is being made by the New York journals, of all parties, upon the action of Commodore 'Altosll and the American minister to China, lion. John E. Ward, for the part they assumed in the recent com plication in China. With no desire to jump to conolusions, In imitation of these assault?, (either by way of approving of what our naval and diplo• mane representatives have done, or by way of de nouncing them,) I Mill do not hesitate to say that I believe they have acted for the beet, and that the future will vindicate thin opinion. I do not see how they disturb our neutrality by anything which they have done, and I predict that the Chinese will find no fault, and that the diplomat and pallor will be sustained by the Administration. We ought to recollect, before condemning these gen- tlemen for the exercise of humanity to our Anglo- Saxon cousins, that the Chinese have been as in sincere with us, heretofore, as they have been treacherous to the English. The experience of General Cushing is enough to prove this declara tion. And quere—may not the English policy he the best, after all, to open to civilisation a regiOn which has heretofore been stubbornly closed test? Mr. Ward, the minister, is well known as one of the first men in .4merica. Although comparatively young in years, he has occupied distinguished po sitions, and is universally beloved in Georgia, where he was born, and has lived during the best oart of his life, and where he is a leading mem ber of the legal profession. Ile WO married to the Sister of that gifted gentleman, John Sullivan, so well known in Philadelphia, and was president of the Demooratle National Convention which plaopd James Buchanan In nomination. I have every reason to believe that lie has acted.from the most patriotic motives, and that he will be fully able to vindicate his conduct against attacks from every quarter. Hon. Samuel A. Smith, ex•membexof Congress from Tehnessee, has nocepted the appoinlment of Commissioner of the General Land Office, which bas been pretty eeensively offered ,by the Presi dent and refused by ttioio IR V 49111 It has been of fered.
