This exhibition was held in the very large and airy room in the Farmers' Tobacco Warehouse. The room was brilliantly illuminated, and the numerous pillars were richly decorated with evergreens. The tables literally groaned beneath the profusion of fine fruits, among which we observed some specimens of peaches, pears, and apples, that could hardly be rivalled in any climate or at any season. Among the contributors of these fruits, we observed the names of Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester, N. Y.

The floral display was really grand and beautiful. The mosaic table, the wreaths, the urns, the scales, the pyramids, the boquets, the baskets, the display of Dahlias, of Rosea, of flowers in pots, evinced a degree of elegant taste in design and combination that elieited the highest admiration.

The vegetables attracted no little attention; and although the tables could have been better filled, yet we doubt if finer specimens of sugar beets, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, carrots, egg plants, citron, etc., could have been produced anywhere.

A beautiful marble statue, exhibited by Mr. Needham, was much admired for its chaste beauty and sweetness of expression.

The brilliantly-lighted room, with its snow-white walk and ceiling, the evergreens gracefully entwining around the pillars, the long spread tables covered with brilliant flowers and temptingly luscious fruits - and above all, the many lovely and joyous women, gracefully promenading the room, feasting the eye while listening to the strains of Arbogast's saxehorn band - formed a tout ensemble, that feasted the soul with delight, and made us dream of Paradise. But to this scene, so rapturous to the eye, was added an intellectual treat that was great and rare. We allude to Prof Butler's address, which, short as it was, was in itself a gem - rich, racy, and rare. Charles Lamb himself never wrote any thing, we almost were about to say, half so good.
