CorreipO!iaiiee of tt Pennsylvania Inquirer. M tlV YORK STATE FAIH. Capital Speech by Goo. Bigler Courtesies le tvtenNcw i'ork end Pennsylvania. Klmiiu, N. Y.( Oct. 5, 1855. We refcr.-ed last wot k to tbo speech of Got. Bigler. at tbe New York State Fair, at El rlra, on tlia arrr l of the first train of coal from the Suntnokn mln t. After the inter change of Courtesies, and referring to the agricultural products of tho states he pro ceeded lis fullow : Jtesnidtlr.it next ta nyrifoltnre, mining rind manufacturing wm leading interests in Pennsylvania, ond nothing could give him more pleasure than to truce trw history of their wonderful prop reps, but time will not permit. Her eotnmoree nnd tradn was sec ond only to tlmt of the Kmpire Stale i but be was anticipating the tiny when, by moons ofruilrond connexions, Phihulidphia would be placed equiil to New York as a commercial City. Ha said his friend (Mr. Diven) h;id most happily complimented Pennsylvania by his clowm;; description of the ngrirnlture of .? .i., .... :,:... I.. Y,nt r.:.: was constructed against a strong current of public sentiment. Tbe sagacious mind of Nicholas Biddle, long sine pointed out tbe advantage of that intercourse between Phil adelphia and Western New York, which wt are now to somo extent realizing. Ilia just estimates of the importance of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad to Pennsylvania were largely discredited in bis day ; but Dow no intelligent man dares to doubt them. (aIifoma hfo$. New Yolk, ond then admitting in that spirit of eoiidor for which lie is distinguished, that Pennsylvania, According to the last census, had produced the must wheat. lie might have added, as to other interests n!so, that ahc had produced tho most iron, the most coal of nil kinds, r.nd had increased bur pop ulation in n prcater ratio than any of-the Atlantic .States. , Pennsylvania did not claim to be ns fast a State us New York, but. did pretend to be 09 sura. In frreat natural resources, nnd in the steady purpose of tier population, she might claim pre-eminence. But iu that vast variety which makes up the spice of life, he regarded New York as bnrd to beat. In ideas and isms which stand out in bold relief in endless disputations in matters of politi cal economy, theology nnd morals, perhaps tho Empire stood uneqtialed. llo hopes, in paying so much for New York, he had quiet ed the apprehensions of his friend. But the particular occasion of theso cere monies, said Mr. B addressing tho Presi dent, is the arrival nt this beautiful nnd flour ishing town of a train of cars, freighted with superior anthracite coal, direct from the Lancaster colliery, in the middle region, mined by Cochran, I'eale, k Co., nnd con veyed by tho Sunbnry nnd Erie nnd the TVilliamsport and Elmira, Railroads to this point, without transhipment. The comple tion of tho Sunbnry and Erie Railroad east of Milton, last week, has finished (except the bridges nt Northumberland) a line of rail road for a point of incxhnustable supply in onr State to ono of generul distribution and great consumption in yours. He regarded the celebration as an era iu the history of the trade of both States, and believed the consequences would bo mutually beneficial to nn extent not now anticipated. He then called the attention of the Presi dent of the Agricultural Society, Judge Cheever, to the tine specimens of Anthracite Coal on wlncu lie stood, and told him, that lie had been commissioned, on behalf of the Pennsylvania guests, to present them to the New York Agricultural Society, which duty J he now, wiih imich pleasure, performed. We are now ready, said Mr. B., to com mence a new branch of trade, ns we know you are, iu tho spirit of reciprocity, to the mutual benefit of all concerned. Pennsylva nia will send up her anthracite coal to keep you warm in the winter to roast your beef and boil your potatoes to drive your steam mills and grist mills, nnd manufacturing ma chinery j to help to drive tho iron horse on tbe rail roads, and propel the steamboats on your lakes and rivers. We expect to see this eloment of heut and power disseminated into every county, township, village nnd f.on.ily cirole of your great State, performing its good offices. Indeed we have no doubt of its universal use ; whnt wo have witne&sed elsewhere in tho use of this article will come to pass here--the consumption will grow beyond all anticipation. Nor can you re strain its progress were yon to make tho at. tempt. Like the frogs "of Egypt, you will find it on every man's hearth, and ut every man's cellar door. It is on event worthy of notice, that tho long talked about and too long delayed rail road from Philadelphia to Erie, has been largely the ngont in this work, and very soon tho transportation of coal by that line and the AVilliamsport and Kimiru, is to bo com menced as a regular business. But the whole State feels a concern in nn achievement of this kind, and it is no effort of imagination to pay that in this event the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fends to that of New I'ork, J greeting, the means of nn increasing trade nnd intercourse und the evidence of fraternal regard, in the shape of black diamonds. To give tiie greater manifestation of sincerity to this token, ho would remark that it had been tug from her vital parts. The strong bars which mt'ire has thrown about her treasures had been broken to procure these (. ne speci mens, nnd we were proud to Lava here some of the stalwart an l honest operatives who have performed this work. The town of Kirnini, it is manifest, is des tined to b,i the ir. art of an immense coal trade in the future. In addition to the sources of trade already referred to, tho Junction and tho North Branch Canal presents un avenue wiiien win soon bu in operation to na inex haustible Mtpply of coal ami minerals found' on the North Branch of ihe Susquehanna. Tho valley of Wyoming is fumed for mines of superior coal, and the canal will furnish a cheap avenue for its transportation to tour- It would be pertinent to tho occasion, and ho should bo glad to trace the progress of our iron and coal business, so extensive nnd so various in all its relations of trade with the Empira State, but time and opportunity will not pprir.it that its future growth, Lka itB past progress, will outreach nil reasonable an ticipations, he had no doubt. Look for a moment, said he, nt the growth of the pro Jjtution and consumption of anthracite eoal. In 1820 it amounter" to but 1073 tons; in 1810 to eight-hundred and sixty thousand tons, in 1350 to three and a half millions, and for tho present year it will fall bnt little short of seven tni'lHons of tons. At that rate nf increaso for twenty years to come, the pro. duction would exceed thirty millions, which at two dollars would r-.irh tbo enormous num of sixty millions of dollars. The pro duction of the bitumons has also been grow, ing with rapidity. For instance, tho agent of the I-'arrandsville Company had told him to-day thot 101H) tons were daily deliverod at AVilliamsport for this point, and that the de mand was equal to throe times that amount bnt the means ol transportation were not Buffijiont. A short time ago no.man thonght f Bending hituminious coal to Kimiru, lie aid the iron interest was growing with great rapidity, and that that urticle would be sent to this market in all its variety. Tin ro were now Borne fine specimens on the grounds, tbo property of Mr. Longenker. At the bottom or all this progress of the two greatest States of the Union, enid Mr. B is that daring and untiring spirit of enter prise that dosigns and prosecutes to coinple tiou great enterprises like tho New ork and Erie Railroad, the great Pennsylvania Central, and the Readjng Roads. How in variably too, said he, have these great schemes enconnterod & want of confidence, at the beginning, in their utility and practica Lility, and even opposition.

', The Semnphore of Marseilles publishes the following letter, giving un account of the state ot beuastopol when occupied by tne Al lies : After crossing the cemetery, where there is still a ciLipel riddled Willi balls and bullets, I entered Sebustopol through an enormous breach mado in the central bastion. A large fortified wall protects all this side of the town ; within it lies a suburb composed of small houses, winch were no douiit occupied bv various small tradesmen. This suburb gradually descends towards the water : four streets converge to n sort of platform, con nected with a little bridge, which enabled the Inhabitants to cross a street below when vio. lent rains transformed it into n torrent. In this small space I counted sixtv-eight shelli that had not burst, nnd balls. We then pro. cceded to the 6trent and boulevard which bear the name of Catharino ; it is the elegan quarter of the town j nil the houses have but one storv, are very neat, and are surrounded with gardens. There is not one that has no received at least a ball j they aro completely gutted : nil the furniture, such as mahogany bedsteads, chests of drawers, writing desks, Jkc.. was ivine; about the street. I remarked a considerable number of pianos, mony print (most of them rather licentious,) and, whn is very extraordinary, portraits ol the Empe ror Napoleon nnd the Empress Eugenie. The whole of this quarter rises in on amphi theatre just opposite Fort Constantitie j the theatre is untouched ; it is a pretty white building. When I passed by, the scenes were lying outside against tho wall. The church called St. Catharine's, a Doric temple, with a gilt pediment, has also suffered very little, In thi9 quarter not a coul was to bo seen; the streets were deserted, tho houses com plttely abandoned j nnd it mado one melan choly to see these vast solitudes. The whole town is now peopled with only two thousand French soldiers, who are encamped in the streets. Most of the houses have a story un derground, where artisans bad their shops. From this quarter we went down to the quays Tho nearer one pets to the port the greater is the number of barricudes. Tho Uussiuns evidently intended to have defended Sebastopol street by street, for at the top of every street 14 a wan 01 large stones, two me tres 111 height, behind which small pieces nf artillery were placed. On the quays, which are wide, and planted with trees, it was more Uifficult to enjoy one's walk, us tho Russians still occupy l oit Constantino opposite, nnd every three minutes they throw either a shell or a ball nt the people who wero walking about ; an Englishman was killed in that wnv ten steps off from w here I was standing, rrom tins quay, anu as tar as tne docks, we may distinguish the mast-tops of the Russian fleet rising above the water : it has all been burnt and sunk, with the exception of a small steamer on her beam ends nt tho comes of the military port. The streets are actually covered with projectiles of every description. The docks have suffered considerably from our fire ; skirting them was a quarter of the town set apart, mof.t likely, for workmen nnd invalids : it is now a shapeless mass of ruins. Nothing in the town has been destroyed by us; our artillery has only ruined what was indisppimble; it was the Rssinii8, who dur ing thir retreat, sprung an cnormus number 01 mines, nud we are (hiding more daily.

The nnnunl fair of tho Northumberland county Agricultural Society was held at Sunbury, on Tuesday, the lfith inst. The weather proved favorable, and there was a much better exhibition on the grounds than wo had anticipated, although it fell far short of what it should be, and of what could bo done, if onr farmers and others would take hold of the matter with n proper spirit. The success of theso exhibitions in some of the eastern counties in this state, has been of great advantage to the interests of the Agri culturist, and has also proved that these Fairs when properly conducted, can Bustain them selves, and at tho same time pay out large sums to exhibitors, stimulating them to fur ther improvement and success. But to do this it has been found necessary to select a permanent location to purchase ground and erect suitable buildings. In Lehigh county, the Society havo pnichased eight acres of ground which they have enclosed with a high fence, ond on which they have erected large and commodious liuildings, sheds, and neces sary fixtures. Tho different articles for exhi bition aro assigned to various rooms in the main building adapted for that purpose. The oof, which is u fiat 0110, is cupablo of sustain ing a large number ol spectators, and irom which can be witnessed the various scenes of tho exhibition. The Fair is continued three days, and the receipts for admission nnd membership, count by thousands of dollars. There is no reason why the same thing could not bo accomplished hero if conducted iu a similar manner. THE I'liNXiYLVAMA COAL I'LATFORM. The Philada, Bullettin some days since contained an excellent article under the above caption, on the importance of the Coal and mineral productions of Pennsylvania. The editor of the Bullettin, however, in referring to the "opening of a new Northern outlet" for tho mineral wealth of Pennsylvania has committed u most egregious blunder by giv ing the Cuttawissa rail road tho credit for 'furnishing tho method by which the firct cargoes of Pennsylvania coal were taken into New York State." The coal referred to, was not carried over a single foot of the Cuttawissa road. It was brought from the mines at Shamokin, in Nor thumberluud county, 20 miles over the Philu. and Sunbury rail road to Suubury, and from thence 39 miles over the Sunbury aud Erie road to Williamsport, and from that point 15 miles over tho Williumsport und Elmira road to Elmira, uot touching the Cuttawissa road except at its point of intersection with the Sunbury and Erie at Milton 12 miles above Sunbury. If any company is deserving of commendation for developing and opening tire coal trade of the middle region with the North it is the Philadelphia and Suubury rail road company, aud the pioneers of the coal operations in the Shamokin coal region. Their operations have not only been conduct ed on a scale of grandeur and magnitude un surpassed in this country, bat the road it one of the most solid and substantial strictures in this state, over which trains, numbering from 60 to 130 cars of coal, arc daily brought j to thru piece VHSt COUNTY FAIR. We had expected to lay before oar readers a list of the premiums awarded at the County Agricultural exhibition held at this place on Tuesday last. The ' exhibition, though small as regards the number, and variety of many articles, was, nevertheless, highly creditabloi ond exceeded the expectations of almost every one. One day, however, is entirely too short for such a purpose. It was nearly noon by tho time all the articles for the exhibition were on the ground, and by the time tbe Committees for examination, could get thro' the crowd, the day was nearly gone. Under such circamstances many things were neces sarily slightly examined, and 6ome entirely overlooked and perhaps injustice done where none was intended. In some instances, per haps, notices ought to have been given of articles of merit, where the Committe had no authority to award premiums. There were many things that we could only glanco at for want of time. The largest collection of vegetables and fruit was exhibited by William Thomas, who resides a few miles east of Petersburg, near Bear Gap. He exhibited some of the finest water melons we have seen, besides apples, peaches, honey, &c. Mr. Thomas has been engaged in this kind of business about five years and in his success, has tet an example that wo hopo may not be lost on others. There wero a variety of Cue apples exhibited besides thoso that wero awarded premiums Jacob Painter had somo very fine vandevcrs Jacob Young some choice apples, besides some fine celery. Some extra large apples by Mrs. Samuel Campbell nnd somo excel lent Belleflowers from the garden of Judge Jordan. Also some Due quinces by Mrs Ja cob Heller. Mr. C. O. Bachmnh, of Sunbury, exhibited somo very fine pumpkins, and Mr. Peter Ilileninn very largo winter cashnws or squashes. Mr. Apsley ond Dr. Pcalo nlso exhibited fine pumpkins. The Potatoes gen erally were vere fine. Col. James Cameron exhibited some very fino mercers nnd pink eyes. Charles Pleasants, Esq., nlso had somo Dne specimens of potatoes. There was considerable display of excellent butter on the ground. In this department we think our farmers are rapidly improving. Bouham R. Kase exhibited 25 pounds of fino quality. Mrs. Nesbit, Mrs. Obcrdorf, Mrs. Seusholtz and others exhibited excellent specimens. We also observed some needle work nnd embroidery, as well as some specimens in the fine nrts, such as paintings and crayon sketch" es. Mrs. Dr. Shiudel exhibited a handsome embroidered table cover. Miss, Malinda Weiser a handsome ottoman and nlso one by Mrs. George Wcise some fine specimens of embroidery by Mrs. Bruner at 6C years of aee and a pretty specimen by Rebecca Friling, nt 9 years. There wero also a number of quilts, but wo did not observe by whom. Besides we are conscientiously epposcd to tho useless wasto of labor iu cutting up cloth for tho mere pur pose of sewing it together. There was also somo handsome needle work collars by Miss Kate O. Gobin and Mrs. Wm. T. Grant crochet work by the Misses Wulkerand Miss Mary Brosious-some fine embroidery and cro diet work by Miss Cuthbert and Mrs. Snrnh Gobin. In paintings we observed a handsome portrait by an anietuer Artist. Some pas tel paintings by Miss Elizabeth Donnel nnd several by Miss Hester Brisbcn of Sunbury. Messrs Neuer & Ilartz of this place exhi bited some of tho fullest and best looking beef wo ever saw, from an ox weighing 1000 pounds, the second ono of that size killed withiu a few days. A loaf or beautiful white bread made with out yeast by Mrs. Jacob SeuBholtz, attracted our attention. Its flavor was equal to its ap pearance. Mrs. II. Michael, also exhibited a loaf of very fine bread. There is nothing which so richly dccrvis encouragement, as good bread making. One of tho principle objects of attraction was tho large lemon tree of Mr. Herman Klino of Upper Augusta, in full bearing, hav ing on its branches, perhaps 5 or C dozeu le mons, considerably larger than the imported article It is probably the largest tree of the kind in Pennsylvania. A few fine eattlu wore Exhibited, by A. E. Kupp of No'.th'd, and T. Johnson of Point. There were ulso a few fine horses on the ground, James Vandyke of North'd had a fine mure iu harness. Dr. Mover had also a fine nag. One of most beautiful specimen of mechan ical skill, was un elaborately and beautifully finished buggy by Mr. Hood of M'Ewinsvillo. Wo have seen nothing superior to it at any of the State Fairs for beauty of design or workmanship. There ore no doubt a number of article that have escaped our memory as we write from recollection and have no list or memor anda of tho articles deposited. We heard it mentioned by a number of persons who atten ded the State Fair, that iu point of quality, tho Vegetables, fruit and productions of the dairy, our county exhibition was fully equal if not snperior to the State. OR. KAHK. TMK ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS. The safe return of Dr. Kane, after so pro tracted an absenco, Is a subject or almost national felicitation. During the two years which elapsed from Ins last letter 10 nis ar rival at New York, the public, through all the weary months, shared the concern of his ... !lL It- an ate ramtly, and sympatniuea wm n -. And now they join in to welcome him borne. The voyage has riot been without advan tago to science. It has added considerably to our knowledge of geogrnphy j settlod in the affirmative tbe question as to tne exis tence of a Polar sen j and proved that hitman life can bo sustained, in the Arctic region, as Dr. Kane alwavs asserted, .by tho game which explorers can shoot. But it has done what is even more important thnn this, at . . . . . ! 1 east in a moral view, ji nas lurnisnea nn exnmple of heroic courage, maintained, not merely for a few hoars, as on a battle field, but for weeks, months and years j a courage which combined active bravery with patient endurance, which was as sagacious as it was dnrinor. and which succumbed to neither dark- noss. nor tempest, nor snows, nor glaciers, nor the imminent peril of being left without fuel or food. It is such examples that stimu late to great deeds. It is such that become immortal. The Arctic expeditions are now over. The book may bo considered closed, sealed up nnd laid away forever. For three centuries the idea of a northwest passage has stimuhi ted a succession of heroes to endure the rl gors of an Arctic winter, in the hope of find ing a passago from the Atlantic to the Paci fic. At last, tho great problem has been solved. The successful voyage and journey of Com. McClure, terminating last year, has proved that there is really such a connec tion by n water. But it has also proved that the passage can never be made availablo for commerce, and that, for four years out of five it is rendered impassable by ice. There is, therefore, no longer any call, nay 1 there is no longer on excuse, for voyages of Arctic discovery. Hereafter such expeditions would be totally indefensible. Even the natural curiosity of science, eager to determine, dis puted facts, will I in no justification for the petils, exposure, nnd loss of life involved in those enterprises. From this day out, there fore, A rcti'.' explorations may be considered us amontj the things of tho past. To prose cute them, as Franklin said, in his homely way, would be "paving too dear for the whistle." So far as America has partaken in these expeditions, she has entered upon them from thp purest and noblest motives. It was to relieve a lost voyager, and one not even of our own nation, that both L.ieut. De Haven s e SUNBURY VTmit. Ut: C. i Oats. Tttkitie, BaatWAS H atlas Fiat. BaTTia. . PRICE .CURUENT .
