The Btate Fair.

The weather, like the times, was hard, for
the Fair, yet under the depressing influences.
of both, the exhibition was far from being a
failure. Some 320 head were entered, of as
fine cattle as were ever exhibited anywhere;
140 horses ; 163 entries of Sheep, Swine and
Poultry; 125 of Implements and Machinery 3
403,01’ Dairy Produce, &c. ; 244 of Domestic
Manufactures, «inc. The Floral display was ill-
excusably slim, but the Horticultural show
was exceedingly fine. _

Tuesday was devoted to arranging attic
and animals within the enclosures, Wednesday
to their examination by the Committees,
Thursday to the trialof working cattle, the
plowing match and tests of speed and display
of horses,»Frlday to trials of speed, an address
by D. -G’. Mitchel—“ Ike Marvel”—and the
generalievacuation of the grounds, interspersed
each day with capital music and copious show-
ers of rain 1 Our own county comes in for a
full share ofhonors. J. M. Rose, a ten acre
Farmer of Greenwich, made entries under ten
different "heads, taking premiums in all. Col.
Thomas .A. Mead of the same town had a pair
of premium beef cattle weighing nearly three
tons! ~ Ira, Gregory of Danbury do. Wm. H.
Hickok of Wilton 2 pairs steers, Mr. Ruscoe

D. Crosby _of’-Danbury a fine stallion,. H. M.
Terrel of Norwalk his “ Mallory Mare,” while

ter Squas__h._es, Chas. Comsteck on 11 varieties
l'eaches,—T. B. Griffeth pears,John Smith on
grapes, dvic.‘ dtc. Mr. Cole’s beautiful horse
Membriiio, attracted general admiration and
justly took a high premium ; of him more here-
after. Our old co-laborer in the opening glo-
ries of thc,New Haven Journal, Wm. T. Ba-
con, presented a noble spicimen of the fast

equines, whose performances did credit to his
master’s training, if not to his strict Puritanic

'.~’a'~3t’i:ors.-.»s as‘ a means of facilitating their ex-
';~‘n from C-;,»-.-: parish to another, as per modern
customs of ordaining and dismissing pastors.

‘H. Hamblin, of Canton, presented, in our

opinion, the finest bred 4 year old stallion ex-
hibited. He is of the Black Hawk breed, and
in all the nicer points of a perfect animal, he
was faultless. He had to compete, in his
class, with all of four years old and under
seven, and the first premium was awarded to
a:7 year old stallion; but many better judges
of horse flesh, in our opinion, than any on the
Committee, declared the first premium due to
him. In action and general contour he was
the very model of grace and beauty.

. Messrs. A. E. Smith do Sons, of Norwalk, had
a fine display of their Pottery wares, which
attracted much attention from those not famil-
iar with ‘the processes of their manufacture.

; Notwithstanding the rain, so complete were
the arrangements made by the indefatigable
Secretary, everything went off like clockwork.
There was no mixing up or confusion, and it
will be a sorry day for the interests of the
Conn. State Agricultural Society when it loses
the services of Henry A. Dyer, its Recording
Secretary.

Much is also due to Dwight Morris, Esq., the
eflicieut and active,almost ubiquitous, Chief
Marshal and his well trained aids, for the good
order and system which carried through the
whole exhibition without loss of property, or
injury to life or limb of any one. Our cotem-
poraries are very severe upon the municipal
authorities for the immoralities which took
place outside the enclosures, but no word of
complaint can be urged against the good man-
agement and decorum which prevailed within.

New Bank Building.

The new edifice being erected by the Bank
of Norwalk begins to assume an air of beauty
and taste, in striking contrast with the stand-
ard of Patagonian architecture prevailing so
generally in and about the business portions
of the “ Bridge.” It has a plain but exceed-
ingly rich free-stone front, sustained by mass-
ive pillars of the same material, which gives
to the structure, at least, an air of that
strength and stability so very much needed
just at present. The building has been erected ,
we believe,under the general superintendence
of Chas. B. White, Esq., and reflects much
credit upon his skill and good taste.

-A story having gained very general circu-
lation and credence hereabouts, to the effect
that the money paid into the new Bank in
instalments had been principally used abroad,
rather than for the relief of our own manu-
factories and people, during the “tight times,”
we would state that such is not the case, but,
on the contrary, all its available means have
been devoted to the relief of our local business
interests. It may not be a matter of much
consequence, yet the public mind ought to be
disabused of the falsehood.

The Final Crash!
Our Banks, the gorgon horror of the pious
democracy which has robbed them of much of
their coin but more oftlieir consistency, have
gone to the wall. A few for the mere bravado

‘of the thing, still hold out, as one boy will

hold his breath longer than his smaller lung-
ed comrad, but must sooner or later “ go in”
or “ bust.” In this catastrophe are many
moral teachings to Banks and to individuals.
How soon order can be brought out of this
chaotic mass the kecnest financier cannot fore-
see. We believe however, that it is._ entirely
within the power of the banks to inaugurate

with safety to themselves, if they will. The
Danbury Banks we learn, offer to renew in!
full for those of their customers who ask it.-
The most liberal course of policy consistent
with safety, will no doubt be adopted here.
We copy at lqqgth the opinions of the press
elsewhere, commencing with the opinion of
John Thompson as published infiie last no. of
his Reporter :

General suspension of City Banks!
ALL IS LOST i No! all is saved ii
The New York City Banks have sus-
pended specie payments I and the Country
Banks will follow. Certified checks will
.be the order of the day—Country money
will be the currency on which all retail
business will be done. -The United States
will make an issue of Treasury notes, and
thus loom up the volume of paper-curren-
cy. Good times-for a time, and then,
as the day of resumption approaches de-
pression comes. 3
It will be a few days before we can,
again, give reliabre quotations; but we
see clearly that system can be brought
out of this chaos. We shall come to the
rescue, and do what we can towards reg-
ulating the currency.

Specie is in demand, commanding 3 to
6 per cent. premium, for country notes.

Schemes for Relief—our Scheme.

We have seen no scheme for loosening
the pressure, that promised much. The
Country hank note scheme has merit, but
our city banks cannot go into it for want
of confidence. There is six millions of
money (secured country bank»currency,)
which is as good as “ wheat” that might,
with honest concert of action, he made
available to bring forward the produce.-
This is now locked up in country hank
vaults. It might be borrowed by our
city banks, and advanced on produce, and
the produce couldbe turned in time to
meet the bank notes as they came in for
redemption.

The following, or something like it,
seems to us to have more merit than any-
thing we have seen proposed. We put it
into preamble and resolutions, hoping our
bank officers will adopt it at their next
meeting :

Whereas, It is impossible for the West,
South, North and East, to pay up except from
the proceeeds of what theyhave to sell: and,
whereas, our customers must meet their “pay-
ables” from their “ receivables,” or go to the
wall ; and, whereas, the gold can be profita-
bly obtained for good sterling or French Ex-
change, long before specie will he wanted for
export. Therefore,

Resolved, That we, the banks, buy up all
the good foreign exchange, paying for the

it, or circulating notes, even at the risk of lo-
Slfl 801118 F ecie.

1§esolved,P That a good hearty move of this

kind will enable our merchants to collect
their dues, pay their debts, bring their pro-
duce to this city, send it to Europe, stop the
panic, restore confidence, and leave us (the
banks) a great deal better off than we shall be
if we keep on smashing up all the machinery
of commerce and finance.

Resolved, That we, creatures of credit, must
do ilomethiilig to restore credit, or go to the
wa 0llT8€ D88.

Seriously, there is no scheme which
promises so well as this, It is ii. safe
movement for the banks Their letters of
certificates and currency are all that .is
wanted at the west for moveing the pro-
duce. One milliou of this paper would

set in motion five millions of produce.-

Thcre is, just now, no one cause of pres-

sure so powerful as the waut of purchas-

ers of foreign exchange. Orders for pro-

duce cannot be filled because the bills.
drawn against it cannot be sold. The

banks can untie this knot quickly, safely

and profitably. The Canada Banks are

doing this very thing, in large amounts,

and the good results are already seen.

From theN. Y. Yb-ibu/ne, of Thursday :

The towering fabric of Mercantile Cred-
it lies in ruins, and its crash is destined to
shake the civilized world. Nowhere has
this Credit been so distended, so bloated,
as with us, and nowhere will its fall cause
such pervading disaster ; but its ramifi-
cations are everywhere, and its downfall
must everywhere he felt.

We must not be deceived by superficial
appearances. To say that the Banks
have failed, would be to state the case
untrnly, deceptively. The Banks of the
older States are about all pertaining to
our late balloon of Mercantile Credit that
has not collapsed. Hardly any body ca-
pable of owning a hundred dollars’ worth
of property that he wants to sell, would
not be very glad to exchange it to day
for average bank notes ; specie is of grea-
ter value than they. ‘Those who have
really failed, and whose failure hasinvolve-
ed nearly all others, are the farmers ,me-
chanics, laborers and speculators, or idlers
of the Interior, and especially of the Far
West, who ows ten to a. thousand dollars
each to the merchants of whome they buy
cloth, tea. and sugar, which sums they are
unable or unprepaired to pay, and their
insolvency reaches through the jobber,
the importer, the banks, &c., even to Eu-
rope, and will draw down stately and ven-
erable houses in London, Birmingham
and Lyons. The aggregate of these un-
paid “store bills”umounts to Hundreds of
Millions of dollars, and the whole rests
on this City as a. fulcrum, but presses
heavily our.-every side. New-Eengland
could pay all she ows if she could obtain
pay from those who owe her ; New-York
could do as well if not better ; Pennsyl-
vania and some other States perhaps as
well ; but, the fearful burden of Western
and Southern indebtness weighs down all
together. There is a merchant reported
“as suspended” or “failed” in our City
who has not many more dollars due him
than he owes ; but those who owe him
cannot collect from ‘ their customers ;
therefore, cannot pay him ; therefore, he
cannot pay ; and the weight of this moun-
tain of insolvency has broken down all
that is beneath it.

We insist that this great lesson shall
not be misread. The loafers in ten thou-
sand har-rooms, who are to day cursing
the Banks as broken, have themselves
caused whatever there may be of Bank
insolvency, by buying food and clothes for
their families at the neighboring stores,
and not paying for them as required. For-
cigu Debt, Railroad loans, Bank circula-
tion, all could be readily met, but for
this labyrinth of mercantile insolvency
which stretches from Pembina, and El
Paso to the banks of the Thames and the
Rhine. -

We -urge the utmost forcbarance and
consideration with regard to existing in-
debtness. Let the Banks. the merchants,
the debtors of merchants, have all reason-
able time allowed them to get in a solvent
position. Haste, rapacity, panic, would
only destroy asserts, widen desolation,
and intensify calamity.

and chastening recollection of the fire.
Credit there will ever be, because there
should be ; Paper Currency there will
ever be, because that is the Currency of
civillizatiou, Commerce and faith in Man ;
but Credit‘=._for merchandise by New-York
to Minnesota or Texas ; credit ‘to any
and every stranger who comes from a lit-
tle town two thousand miles away A with-
such letters of recommendation as every-
body writes for anybody—this must hence-
forth cease, unless our merchants are in
love with ruin, It ought to be the very
first inquiry respecting a merchant wan-
ting credit of importers, conmission houses
or ba.uks—“ Does he sell goods on time
out of the City ? ”-and, if he does, that
should be reason enough for refusal.
Our City will loose fifty per cent of all
that is now due her for goods sold on
credit to retailers. Is not that enough?
If not let the fact that she must wait in-
conveniently for a. good part of the other
half, prove conclusive.

Why should the farmer sell his produce
Why
should he buy goods any faster thnn.he
can pay for them ? Why should a. rich
State like Ohio owe half its current crop
to the seaports? Why should _ planters
and farmers obtain cash on delivery for
their Cotton and Wool, yet buy their
Cotton and Woolen fabrics on credit ?—
Whv should the West owe the East, or»
the Seaboard owe Europe? Fellow-sub
ferers by this terrible revulsion i let us
fully resolve that we will not have sufi'er-
ed in vain. _
The truth is pithily stated, in the fol-
lowing from the New York Times, as to
the real cause of the present degradation
of our country :

“ Our working Democrats, that have
shouted free trade, and voted always to
sustain the fire-eate-rs of the “ Smmy
South,” are now crying for bread and
cursing the Banks. But our Banks are
not to blame. They have done wonders
to keep along as well as they have. The
Banks have been lame ducks since 1848,
when specie began to roll out of the coun-
try to pay for railroad iron, woolen and
cotton goods.

“In nine years last past all our Banks
never have had at any one time $40,000,-
000 in specie in their vaults, or £8,000,-
000 sterling, and within the last two years
our Banks never have had $20,000,000
of specie, or £4,000,000 sterling, in their
vaults. The Banks are now reduced to
$10,000,000, or about £2,000,000 ster-
ling.

“ On this insignificant ba.sis of money,
the Banks have been called upon to do
the greatest part of the business of all
our maritime commerce, and to regulate
our internal exchanges also. N 0‘ class of
men but the most talented; honest andin-
dustrious in the world could have kept on
so long as they have.” .
The general tone of public feeling in
New York, as elsewhere, continues to

improve.

The New York Commercial ‘of Satur-
day. evening, says :

We do not find much change in the
aspect of the street this morning. We
think that things generally are working
toward improvement. The embargo on
trade is gradually waxing less severe.-
From the west we learn, in well informed
quarters, that produce is being forwarded
in large quantities. Parties with some
of the means are on the spot making nec-
essary advances, and shipping it for the
sea board. Agents from some of our
mercantile firms are also receiving the
amounts due in gain, and forwarding it
to the market, all will thus probably expe-
dite materially a realization of a protion
of the indebtedness to them.

The transaction at the clearing house
show a gradual increase in the amount of
business transacting.

The Boston Journal says that instead
of there being a run on the Savings Banks
in that city, as might be supposed to he
the natural result of the present money
crisis, there are more deposits than ever.
This is as safe a place in which to keep
money as any one need have. Times like
the present are certainly not the ones in
which to take money from a. safe place
and put it in an unsafe oue—to keep
specie in a teapot, a stocking, bewoen
the beds or in a cuboard in convenient
packages for a thief or a burglar. When
labor is crippled is not the time for poor
men to lose 6 per cen. for the sake of
runninga risk of having their little savings
stolen from them. Our advice to those
who have got their bills into coin is to
take the coin to a savings bank for de-
posit, wherc it will earn something,‘ and
its keeping will not be a source of annoy.

ance.
@' Nathan Appleton of Boston has been
recognized by three generations of Yankees,
as a remarkably clear-headed and practical
business men. He says, the New York banks
have brought this calamity of a suspension of
specie payments on themselves and on the
whole country by over contrartion. May 2d,
1857, their liabilities were 108 millions; Au-
gust 15th, 101 millions; Sept, 5th 88 millions-
At thie point the export of specie had been
stopped, and here the contraction ought to
have stopped ; but the banks continued to con-
tract beyond the proper point, and thereby
flooded themselves.’ Suvshc :

“ Can any mortal man give me a reason
or an apology why contraction should
continue a day after this point had been
reached ?. The banks were then stronger
than they had been for two years. But
contraction did continue until, on the 3d
Oct., the liabilities had been reduced to
76 millions—-thus reducing the circulating
medium of New York city, from July, 32
millions, or upwards of thirty per cent.
Tremendous l Was the like ever known
in the history of banking ! I have no
hesitation in saying it is this continued
contraction of the New York banks since
the 5th of September without the slight-'
est necessity, which has brought about
the present disastrous crisis.

“There was no decided overtrade.—
There was no speculation, except by a
few houses in sugar. There was no doubt
an excess of imports, but no greater than
for several years and the effect of these
was wholly cured on the 5th of Septem-
ber, by the rate of exchange on London.
Why continue contraction further? Was
not 88 millions with 10; millions of specie
being 11% per cent., as safe a proportion
as 104 millions in January, with 11 mil-
lions of specie, or 11 per cent on their
liabilities.

“ There is but one answer.
York banks have been acting under a
panic, and that panic they have communi-
cated to others‘, until there_ is almost a
total loss of confidence. The consequence
are before us in the paralysis of all trade
from Bangor to New Orleans, the stop-
page of banks through a_g_l'eIli2 part Of

6 The following anecdote is, likewise
quite in point. .
In front of one of the banks in Philadel-

In our brief notice of Mr. Ar-nold’s new in-
vention. lnst week, it was impossible for us to
convey any adequate idea of its importance
and value to cur Hat Manufacturers. They.
have long borne the onerous tax involved in
the use of other machines, in the heavy per
centage they have to pay out .of their daily;
earnings, audit is a matter of no small conse-
qucnce to them that a new and better process
has been devised, which can be procured at 3
reasonable cost. We append from the Patent
the following description given by the claim-
ant :-

“ The invention has two distinguishing
features. The first relates to the forma-
tion of the hat, or body of the hat, and
the second to the method of hardening it.
The first consists in the adaptation of dif-
ferent portions of a perforated cone, situ-
sited over an exhaust, successively, to an
ordinary but contracted blast of air crea-
ted by a picker cylinder, in which the fi-
bres of fur are suspended, so that al-
though the fur is blown against a portion
of the cone only, still it is by an adjusta-
ble, alternating, vertical and positive ino-
tion of the cone deposited over the entire
surface and with precisely such variations
as to quantity or given portions of the
cone as may be required to make it perfect
hat, or the manufacturer may desire.
This has not been, and cannot be done
with equal certainty by any device now
known or in use; and it is effected by ad-
ding to the picking machine and exhaust
box in common use, a revolving, adjusta-
ble, henrt-sliaped cam and lever, and sun-
dry incidcntal and auxilliary parts, by
means of which the cone receives it grad-
uated, vertical, alternating motion during
the formation of the bat for the hat, ac-
celerated or retarded by the form of the
com, or, the application of a hand lever,
so as to increase or diminish the quantity
of fur deposited upon particular portions
of the surface of the cone, as desired.
The second feature of my invention con-
sists in the arrangement of the several de-
vices employed in the operation of hard-
ening the hat. The above results are of-
fected by applying the outer cone, as soon
as sufficient for is deposited on the inner
one, locking the two together, and pin-
cing them in an inverted perforated eons
or dish, and then subjecting them to a
rapid revolving motion, and jets of steam
from a pipe, having numerous apertures,
extending into the disk.

An extended notice of the advantages
of this invention, is linnecessmry, The
difficulties attending the creation of a
blast of sufiicient volume to cover the pre-
sentegl sprfacc of the entire cone, and of
suspending the fur in it so that equal spa-
ces shall contain equal quantities of fur,
or so that particular spaces shall contain
uniformly greater quantities, and thus
make the hat of uniform thickness, or of
greater thickness when required, have not
been and cannot be overcome by devices
in use. The force of the blast must be
limited so as not to overcome the suction
of the exhaust, and not only will thg fm;
not be equally distributed in it, but the
heavier and coarser fibers will settle and
separate, and thus a great irregularity in
the thickness of the hat, and the quality
of the fur in different portions of it, must
exist. These difficulties cannot attend
my invention, and by it the fur can be
placed uniformly over the entire cone, or
in greater quantities and with positive

_ certainty, ouany portion of it.”

Our New York Correspondence.

Nuw Yonk,_October 14th, 1857.
The crisis has arrived. Yesterday wit-
uesscd the downfall of many of our city
Banks, and ,to-day there will be a total
suspension. Wall street yesterday pre-
scnted a spectacle which has not been
seen since the disastrous times of 1837.
At a.n curly hour of- the day, a run
was commenced on the Irving, North
River, Ocean and other Banks on the
west side of the city, which, after a
hard siege, finally suspended. The news
of these fuiliires spread like wildfire
throughout the city, and bank after bank
closed its doors, until about one o’clock,
when it seemed as though every one had
lost their senses. Crowds of up-town
citizens poured steadily into lVall street,
many‘ to draw deposits, others to redeem
hills, while a large majority remained to
look on, and see what the finale would
be. From 1 to 3 P. M., the American
Exchange Bank was run down by depos-
itors and bill-holders, but managed to
satisfy all demands until 3% o’clock when
it closed up for the day. The Broadway
Bank stood up to the mark heroically,
until twenty minutes to three o’clock,
when the President appeared, and an-
nounced to the crowd that they could
hold out no longer ; they had done their
best, and no more could be expected. In
the course of the afternoon, it became
known that the Bank of New York had
“gone in.” This increased the excite-
ment, and it was rumored abroad that
every city Bank had given up the ghost.
After 12 o’clock many exchange brokers
refused all city Bank‘ bills, thus driving
the holders of them to the various Banks
for redemption. The Savings Banks were
also very hard run, and many drew out
their funds, only to lose them the next
moment, via, pickpockets. The scene was
rather amusing around the doors of these
institutions. One man who had just
drawn out the whole amount of his I de-
posits, being doubtful what to do with it,
in the emergency, received the following
advice from bystanders; such as, “Give
it to me!” ‘.‘Scw it up in your shirt i’.’
-“Stick it in your wig!” “Let the old
woman have it!” “Put it in your boots
and let me wear them!” “Let .\iayoi'
Wood take care of it for yer i” &c, 
At the Sixpenpy Savings Bank, a news-
boy presented himself, and demanded of
him whether the Bank was good, The
teller informed him that his iinoney was
ready whenever he wished to draw it.
“All right,” sez he ; “yer don’t kctcli me
ll'l3.i'§l¥§g .21 fool of _mysclf ; if the B:.mk’s
goo:l—its ull riglit.” The youngster had
42 cents on deposit at ‘the time. ’l‘hc
Banks have all agreed to suspend specie
payment today. After this week, the
times will probably be easier; if not-, we
shall probably be coiistralncd to call upon
the country Banks for assistance, in which
case the Fairfield County Bank will not
be excepted.’

Amid the general gloom and disaster
attending the money market, it is refresh-
ing to turn to other matters more agree-
abe to talk about. The theatres have
done a better business than ever during
the last few days. At the Broadway, we
have the greatfltcuzani ballet troupe; at
Burton’s, Charlotte Cushmau; and the
others present attractive bills. Christy
dc Wood’s Minstrels open their new ball
on Broadway, -near Prince st-., tomorrow
evening. This company will do well in
their new quarters, having always had
crowded houses at their old place. At
the Academy of Music we have Italian
opera once in g. while.

People are beginning to find it iicc.es;-
sary to retrench, and will be obliged to
dis ense with many luxuries which they
have heretofore indulged in to a great
extent, and we shall not have as gay a
season this winter as last, since the late
crash in the money market, which will
create hard times for some time to cullle.

Mn. Emron:

On the afternoon ;-.:.-'’a =.lur-
ing tliecveuing of the 12th, the usual
artificial brilliancy of New York was
thoroughly enshroudcd by a. fog, wliich
hovered over its streets and suburbs like
a. poll, as dubious to the vision as the ex-
citing pnnic is dark to the dowucast ap-
prehensions of the business conigiiuiaity.
The spectacle, although dismal and sug-
gcstive of fatal consequences by am,-Eclents,
was attractive, owing in part to the
density of the floating vapor, and its sin-
gular attendiug plieiiomcnn.

About 7 o’clock, stretching over it
broad expanse in the N. E., the sky, or
rather vapor, appeared as brilliant as an
exhibition of the Aurora., and, at first,
the impression was evident that a large
fire was in progress; but the soft and
even briglitiiess could not have been oc-
casioned by any vefl':1cti0ll O.fS!1.C.11. 1! light.
and the beholder was lost in wonder and
rcflection. The haze surrounding the
street lamps shot upward, as it were, at
a €0IlSld(.'l'_i_l«l)_iC angle, and represented as
many (listinct highways of milky white-
ness as there were points of concentration.
The lumps seemed on fire, though the
smoke only was visible. The sight was
lieantifnl,

‘ N autucket and the islands in its vicin-

ity may bonst of its dense fogs, in which

they assert they can drive a convenient

peg for their c/mpca/Ma‘, but such a singular

phenomenon as this is selrlom to be ob-

served, even by them.

The Sound steamer Empire State ran‘
on the prominent rocks near the southern

point of Blac-kwel|’s Island, and subse-

quently sunk ; and it was with extreme

difficulty that ferry-bonzs, by the aid of
ringing bells _z_ui_d the sereum of troubled

whistles, could find their way to the des-
tination; und even captains and pilots on

those which struck projections on their
course, found it impossible to discover
what opposed them.

Yours sincerely,

to this step is said to be the advance of
33. per cent, on the cost of railroad trans.

quart to the farmer's price There may
be some reason why railroads should raise
their rates of transportation, for their
very existence may require it, but why
the farniers should raise their prices or
the very necessaries of life, at such a time
