At the meeting of the Executivo Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical 60 j-cjety, Luid in Columbia, on Wednesday, lt was ffljffirmlned to Issue family tickets %t admls I sion to the grounds during fair week, at $3 for annual and life-members and t5 for other families. Such tickets can, by the 28th instant, be procured from Colonel Aiken, at thc secre? tary's o Hi ce, in Columbia. Tho following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the secretary bc instructed to rcqnest all tho newspapers of thc State, to notify their readers that all arti? cles Intended for exhibition at tho approach? ing fair, will bo sent to and returned from Co? lumbia by all the railroads in tho State, free of charge, and all visitors passed to and from Co? lumbia for orte fare. All the papers In the State are requested to extend this notice. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, thc secretary of the society, says: The public are assured that the prospects of tho approaching fair are most flatteffbg. The old Fuir Grounds have been procured, build? ings arc being erected and will bo completed by the time of the fair, and encoturaglng re SOrts come from Ali "?ellon? of the State, as to ie Interest manifested in our success, and the quantity and variety of articles to be exhibited. ARTICLES FOR EXHIBITION. Tho Columbia Phoenix says: We learn that the secretary has received a number of applications from this State and abroad to rent certain spaces in the building for exhibitors to show articles not of their own manufacture. On this subject the committee decided to make no assessment at this fair, but to allow all such persons the privilege of exhibiting their articles upon tho same terms as all other exhibitors. But hereafter, the committee would deem lt -proper to rent spaces In the boll to such persons as may not havo articles of their own produce and manu? facture, but at the same time may be willing to pay for the privilege of exhibiting such ge li? erai articles as they may be Interested in. This is a feature that prevails in tho Northern fairs-is a source of income to the fair, and can, with propriety, be introduced in our next und succeeding fairs. THE O RAND TOURNAMENT. By. thc following announcmient lt will be seen that there ls to' bc a grand tournament In Columbia during the fair : Tho committee to which bas been assigned tile task of arranging thc programme and in? dicating the outline of the grand tournament to bo held nt thc approaching agricultural mir-and at which "the Knights of South Caro? lina" will contend pour Vhonneur Vamour el les beaux yeux des danuts-announces the notice and rules ns follows : Thc tournament will come off on suob day os may be most comfortable, to the general' ar? rangement of thc fair-probably the last,day. All who desire lo ride will forward their names, the entrance feo offs each, and the character ho proposes to represent, to R. CVNcale, Jr., Esq.. secretary, Columbia, 8. C. Thc course will bo in length about 160 yards; this distance must bc ridden in nine seconds: tho weapon will bc tho sabre; tho first post (thc posts will bc about G? feet in height) will bo fifty yards from the starting point: thc next post and tho ring will be at in? tervals of about 25 yardB. On each post will bo head and about four Inch neck. The trials will bc at first head "right cut against cav? alry;" second head "point;" and third at the ring, 2J inches in diameter, "tierce point." j Tho name of tho knight will bo called-haili will answer Instantly-Hie bugle wlU sound and thc watch bc sprung ; and If ho makes a a false start he loses his ride. After the an? swer to the call and tho sound of tho bugle, no accident will entitle tho knight to n new ride. These rules arc essential to secure time for all. Thc first, second, third and . fourth prizes will bc announced nt a later day. These four succcssftilStnlglits will crown thc queen and elect the three maids of honor. At a general meeting ol' the knights, to be held In Columbia, the Judges, committees, Ac, will be elected or appointed the day previous to thc tournament; and this committee will take pleasure in giving any aid within their power, besides having arran orcd tho grounds, propasad ? everything requisite, and obtained substantial prizes for thc victors.

Yours Truly - The Hardwick Affair. The Chester Reporter says: "As we stated last week, James Hardwick disappeared Im? mediately after tho fatal difficulty with Woods. Hubbard and his constables have made earnest efforts, so we hear, to discover his whereabouts, but so far without success. On Wednesday last, Wm. Hardwick, father of James Hardwick, was arrested upon the charge of aiding and abetting In the killing of woods, and on Saturday the case was before Magistrates Cornwell and Relater for examination. The evidence was conclusive that Wm. Hardwick was In no wiso Implicated in tho affair, being at thc time of the difficulty at least a quarter of a milo distant, and not appearing upon the scene until the tragedy was accomplished. He waa accordingly discharged.". j Cotton Stealing. At a meeting of the citizens of Sumter, tho following resolutions were adopted: Resolved. That those who engage in the iniquitous (raille in seed cotton, and who shall porslst in the same, can only bo regarded as enemies to religion, morality anti tho best Interest of the community which they disgrace, and shall bo treated accordingly by us.

THE CITY OE LIVERPOOL. An Interesting SUttoli-Hoi ld Aspect of tho Place-The Greatness of Liverpool Fonnded on the Negro-Americans and. American Manner*-Cnrloai Con? trasts, ?Ste. A correspondent of the New York Times Bends to thal paper thc following very pleasant sketch of tho great cotton market of the world, wlilch thousands of our own people will read with interest : I have visited and written letters from most of the important towns In tho ' United King? dom, but this is my first visit to Liverpool, with tho slight oxceptlon of onco passing through lt on my way to Ireland. Most Ameri? cans who visit Europe also pass through Liver? pool on their way to Paris. They may stop for a day or two In London. Very low, I believe, make any stay In one of the most Important commercial cities in Europe. It is natural enough, but still n mistake. Liverpool ls New York over again, but with a difference. And lt ls worth seclqg. Liverpool and Birkenhead ile on the shores of thc broad Mtuary of thc River Mersey, like New York ind Brooklyn on the East River; only thc river runs nearly due north Into the Irish Sea on thc west. Steam ferry boats cross the river and run to thc villages along shore. There is a brown stone fort at thc mouth of thc river, surrounded by wutcr at high tide', somewhat like Fort Lafayette, and a lighthouse; hut the entrance lo thc roadstead is low and unpictur? esque. Tho river Itself, however, is a very ii und and lively spectacle. A hundred ships ind steamers of all nations lie at anchor or are irrlving and departing. The American sees thc stars and stripes floating from thc tall ta? pering masts of tho finest vessels In the har jor. A fresh breeze (Vom north to west gives enough motion for comfort, and along tho eastern shore of tho river Iles tho town of Liv? erpool, fringed by li vo miles of thc fincstdocks In tho world, where a large part of the world's shipping Iles packed close as herrings at thc tilgn tide level. The lover of water craft can wander here at will, and iiavc no end of en oymcnt. Tho town rises with a gradual ascent from he water to tho breezy heights of the eastern ni burbs, so thcro can be no excuse for bad 1 rai nage. Thc formation la brown sand-stone, covered along tho shore with a yellow sand so Ino that it drills like snow. The water is soft ind pure. I seo no reason -why Liverpool night not bo one of tho healthiest towns in the ivorld. The sad truth ia, that its death rate la .ho highest in thc United Kingdom-and tills, n spite of the fact that a largo portion of it ls. n a sanitary point of view, everything that jould bo desired. Three-fourths of Liverpool lave wide streets, good air, good water, good Iralnage, everything but parks, squares, and )pen spaces-so much neglected in most com nerclal towns. Liverpool is about as solidly milt over as Cincinnati, without the excuse of nclosing hills. Most English towns have antiquities; old eas? ies, churches, Roman remains, a dignifying last . Liverpool has none of these-not an old vail, tower, street, church, nor an old building >r ruin of any sort. There was a fishing village it the mouth of the Mersey at an early period, io doubt. In thc time of James 1,1618, Llvcr )ool owned twenty-four vessels, whoso united onnagc would scarcely equal one good ship of he present day. The real trado,growlh and pros rcrity of the town began about 1710, when Liv irpool became one of the most activo ports en? raged in the slave trade. In 1760, Liverpool had llncty vessels engaged in this trade. They could ?rry about 26,760 slaves. These negroes were irought hore In great numbers and sent to America and thc West Indies. Thc trade was ben considered highly respectable, was carried ju under Royal charte rn,and made 1 inmenso for unes for those engaged In it. Tho merchants if Liverpool wera also celebrated for pri roteoring, blockade running and slmllarontcr irlses. when tho slave trade at longth bc .ame unfashionable, Liverpool still flourished >n tho products of slave labor, and became ho chief entrepot for cotton, sugar, tobacco, fcc. Tho negro, in fact hos built Liverpool, ind given to lt 'tts solidity, Its grandeur, Its von (1er Ail prosperity. ..LfvorpooThas doubled ts trade and population every sixteen years br tho past century, and though Lancashire s now under a cloud, and cotton,' If king, Is Ike Bomo other kings, Tn difficulties, tuero leems to bo little check to Us growth'and prosperity. i j What we of our shingly, makc-shlft now vo rid have to admiro in Liverpool ls tho mas ilvo grandeur and solidity of Its works. Tho n crehan ts of Liverpool, If they got their noney by the slave, trade and other forms of vb at the world now calls piracy, built for pos ority. The flvo miles of stone docks, making >erhaps twenty-five miles of massive masonry, ruell shelter the mercantile navies of the vorld, constitute a work of which any nation night be proud. They make tho rotting wooden nora around Now York seem very shabby. Ind tho public and commercial buildings of liverpool are of corresponding grandeur. Tho ilder ones, lt ls true, havo Ti o t much archltec uml beauty to boast of ; they are afcout as ugly us ; they can be, but built of atone, mas elvo omi capacious. But thc neSrer build? ings arc aa beautiful us they atc grand. Edinburgh has finer site?, filtre pic? turesque localities, a mingling of antique and modern-historic memories-but no' town In England has such public and commercial edi? fices as Liverpool. Those of Loudon do not compare with them. They arc vast-i enduring, magnificent. And when you consider that hero is no capital, no sent of government, simply a commercial seaport, and that the town nos been built by Individual- merchants or by tho same muu as members of a corpora? tion, lt ls really wonderful. Tho line of (locks and shipping, thc Exchange and its. surround? ing edifices, St. George's Hall, Brown's Free Public Library and Museum, are each and all worth coming to see-assuredly worth stop? ping to look nt, when you havu Crossed thc Atlantic; for you may travel over Europe and soe nothing Uko them. The public spirit which hos built those monu msetts of commercial enterprise and prosperi? ty has done many other things, perhaps even more admirable. The corporation baths, sup? plied with fresh and salt water, 'in' different Sarta of thc town, give swimming and other atliB at prices to suit all classes, and sumo of these ore so large that publlo swimming mutches are held in them.- Liverpool has thu most famous gymnasium In England, with pau? lie exhibitions throe evenings a wick. Its principal theatres arc so good, and tho audi? ences so appreciative, that.lt hus been for sev? eral years tuc practice to bring out.p'ew pieces hero before producing them in the metropolis. Tim reading room of the Merchants' Ex? change ls one of tho-finest iii .**; world, and tho free library" given td Wc town by Slr William Brown, ono oftfit* great merchants, ls tho largest Of-',?1(10 Rind, und such un Institution as docsJab?'exist In London. The museum, which occames nearly thc whole ol tho la* gc building, also given to thc toWn by tho same munificent 'benefactor, ranks next to the British Museum In Us extent aud completeness, and ls much better accom? modated as to space. When will JtUy Ameri? can city of half u million popiilatiotr,$tvhcn will New York Itself, have such a libntry-nud such a museum ? I do not forget thc Astor Library nor tho Cooper Institute; but thc Astor Libra? ry ls not for the masses of the people, and I have never seen a decent museum Iff America. There arc fragments here and them, but a free, rabile museum, open to the whokfeiteople, Ja, believe, something yet to be begun In our country. "... St-George's Hajj stands In an opejrTEpaccUn the centre of Liverpool-an edifice In tho Corinthian style, 465 feet In length, ?jjth hun? dreds of Corinthian columns of Vhe niOHt exquisite proportions, and the whoJeWtflnce ls one of great beauty, lt ls so IseanLpu) in Its symmetry that lt does not seem large.

Liverpool ls moro llkc'N0wlYoikvnS.?ro Ame? rican in Its mannen; and^CUstpmSjjSaD uuy European town. There must be ijHhetirnes some hundreds-portions f ?niglif^^^MRms ands of Americans along the uockSBHFgal ti? ered about tho ccntrcH of business. VOIL see everywhere American faces, and hear the va? ried American accent ranging from Bangor to Galveston. Yesterday on 'Change a swarthy Southerner lounged upc. ?o an English mer? chant or cotton oroker. "Look herc," sold he "don't you know anybody that's got some New Orleans papers?"' "Yes, I nave got any quantity of them."" Well," by-! I'll como up to your office and see them." There was not much in that short dialogue ; only I have never met an Englishman, with tho least claim to be considered n gentle? man, who would have compelled mc lo use a dash lu reporting such a conversation. Eng? lishmen above tho lowest class no more swear than spit. It ls very rare indeed that a well dressed Englishman ls seen In the least Intoxi? cated. I have some hope that the lower classes M lil soon Imitate their betters lu thc latter re? spect, ns they have in a great degree In thc former. And 1 wish that Americans who come to Europe, go on 'Change, and mingle else? where In European society, would devote a month or two before they niait to as much spit? ting and swearing ns would last them tiU thc1' get home again to the lnnd of tho free, wheri no one has any objections. The Americanism in Liverpool ls generally a matter of pride-but lt ls in some things a matter of mortification. Out of regard to our national habits, thc public resorts ol' Liverpool arc furnished with spittoons, which arc never seen In other English towns, and American visitors to tho Liverpool -bathing village of New Brighton have compelled the authorities to placo all over their elegant promenade pier thc following notice-the like of which I have not seen before in Europe : "Gentlemen arc requested not to spit on the floor of the prome? nade." And visitors are obliged to have this staring them In the face at every tarn-or worse. And Mrs. Trollope ls gone, and Mr. Sumner IB still making speeches about the Alabama! There arc other contrasts, but they are com? paratively slight and unimportant. The Eng? lishman ls always brushed and combed, and Ins boots shine, ana he has tho general air of hav? ing Just stepped out of a bandbox. If an American ls drawn in Punch, bis nationality consists not more in his long nose and neck, than bis slouching and frowzy appearance. There is a museum of Greek statues wax fig? ures, ?fcc, In Liverpool, which Includes kings, queens, murderers, revolutionists, philoso? phers, bandits-somo hundreds of attractive personages; but I noticed that even in the cave of horrors, with long lines of murderers pin? ioned for tho gallows-this saves hands-every wig was well brushed. The pirates and ban? dits have long black hair, but lt J* smooth and glossy. There aro only three person? ages who look as If they never saw.acomb; these are the late President Lincoln, on the left of St. John the Baptist, end Generals Grant ?nd Lee on his right. As Wilkes Booth ls down stairs among tho murderers, his hair ls as smooth and glossy ns thc best of them. By? ron Ands himself, thanks to Mrs. Stowe, once moro an object of interest. He waked up one morning und found himself (In)famous. In wax-work s lt docs not matter much. Two shilling editions of tho Byron controversy aro out, by the editors of two London weeklies, and tho Ht. Giles Press has Us catchpennies for the million-, so there will not bo, Hanks to Hrs. Stowe once moro, a mun, woman or child in this country not perfectly familiar with the "Truo Story of Lady Byron." But this Is a digression. American manners li a ve mode their mark ou Liverpool-not the bad manners wo really must mend when wc can lind time, but the good. There ls a kind? liness, a sociality, an Independence of feeling, an admitted equality here, not seen elsewhere In England In the samo degree. You have lt In Manchester, no doubt, and over Lancashire Eenerally; but It seems to mo to culminate in liverpool. Nowhere are the poor so llttlo Bringing and Obsequious: nowhero are tho rich to little overbearing. ' The typical Englishman cringes to all ubove, and kicks all below him. Liverpool hos no aristocracy but that which bas come from work. Labor, business, trade, have mado all tho great fortunes; and those who are not rich may be. There ls, therefore, ar friendly good fellowship among all olasscs very pleasant, and very American-though, for that matter, lt may bo found over two thirds of the continent of Europe, and espe? cially tho southern portion. -Ex-Queen Christina, o' Spain, ls thor? oughly opposed to the prc posed abdication of the th r ne by her daughter Isabel .a 11, who, "ah o th inks, will soon be recalled to Ma? arid.
