About a year after the American Revolution, a
work, entitled "Observation* on the Commerca of
tbe American Rut/*." waa written by John Hoi
roved Barl of Sheffield, who «• aald to have been
r." ofadncatl- E* 0f
realm, an occupant of high official poaltk*., *
Privy rannttll" <* <*•*«• 1,1 Ij " r4
waa not unfriendly to tha United St*tea, but en
tertained tha Ida* that they could never Increase to
population, commercial Importance and political
power Home quotation* from hU work are made
by a contemporary, which read curiowly enough
now. when wa compare tbem with actual results.
Ameogetber predictions, Lord Sheffield foretold
that tha United States would lose the supply of
the British West Indian isles with bread and
'flour, whereas the United States alone now ex
port more than double the amount of breadstuff*
to the British West Indiea alone that all North
America exported before the Revolution to the
British and Foreign West lodlan islands. Lord
Sheffield ai*» said that wa should lose the ship
building trade. The entire tonnage of vessels
built in .769 in tha colonies, waa 20,001 ton*. A
tingle ship yard in New York easily exceeds that
now every year. "Tobacco," aay» Lord Sheffield,
"ia tbe principal article of American commerce.—
The cultivation of tobacco ha* been greatly Inter
rupted ; it will never be to great again at it hat been-
The use of tobacco has declined in England and
America." Tbe comment upon that prophecy i«,
that (Wat Britain now import* from the United
Sta'»* about forty million* of ponnda of tobacco.
"Rice," uy* Lord Sheffield, "is grown in the Bra
zil* of a quality much superior to that raised in
Carolina or Georgia, and the Brazil* will, in a very
few year*, beableto*npplyall part* of the world.'
How strikingly has the result falsified the predic
tion I
Lord Sheffield'* reference to cotton Is especially
remarkable, not that he deserves to be taken to task
for his inability to foresee that which no one could
have foretold, the wonderful growth of cotton in
tha United States, and ita enormous consumption
in England, both of wb 'ch have almost entirely
arisen since the date of ht, book. He says, "in
tha year 1769, the American State* imported of
British ootton 179.208 lbs., at 10d- -per lb ; and o'
foreign ootton 217,439 lbs!" "Virginia and Caroli
na raided, of a coarser kind, more than sufficient
for their own use." How wonderful the change
presented by the present time, when Great Britain
exports from tbe United States no less a quantity
tban three hundred and twenty millions of pounds!
Lord Sheffield put* down tbe population of the
separating colonies at 2,500 000, and say* that there
are not, from the Cape of Florida to Philadelphia,
inclusive, 400 American-born sailors, exclusive of
masters and mates. There are now 400,000 sailors
under the American flag, a large proportion of
whom are native-born.
Of sugars, Lord Sheffield said : "The Southern
provinces of the American States, (wo hope that
form of expression will not prove prophetic,) can
never succeed in that article; frosts and Northwest
winds will prevent. Attempts have been taada at
New Orleans and failed." Again: "The truth is'
we want but little of American produce in Great
Britain, corn, tobacco expected." England now
depends upon the United States for nearly all her
cotton, for eleven twelfth's of her tobacco, for a very
large proportion of her rice, and in years of Euro
pean scarcity, for the necessary supply of bread
stuffs.
Lord Sheffield roferrcd to tbe settlements then
rapidly making west of the Allegbanios and said:
"The authority of Congress can never be main
tained over these distant and boundless regions,
and her nominal subjects will speedily imitate and
multiply the examples of independence."
Here ia another assertion which experience thus
far has disproved:
"It will not be an easy matter to bring the
American States to act as a nation; they are not
to be feared as such by as. A stamp act, a tea
act, or some such act, could alone unite them;
their climate, their staples, their manners are dif
ferent; their interests opposite, and that which is
beneficial to tbe one is destructive to the other.
We might as reasonably dread the efforts of com-
binationß among the German as among the Ame
rican States, and deprecate the resolves of the
Diet as those of the Congress."
Lord Sheffield also says that the Americans
have few good harbors for large ships of war, and
that "there is not a possibility of America meet
ing our Navy." lie thuß conclude*:
"That country, concerning which writers of
lively imagination have lately said so much, is
weakness itself. Exclusive of its poverty and
want of resources, having lost all credit; its inde
pendent governments, discordant interests, and
the great impossibility of acting again together,
circumstances alone of such a vast country, with
a third lesa of people than that sruall spot in Eu
rope inhabited by the Dutch, is incompatible with
strength. If the inhabitants were collected on
one-tenth part of her territory, she would be infi
nitely more powerful, and be more commercial.—
Her population is not likely to increase as it has
done, at least on her coast. On the contrary, the
present inhabitants are likely to fall back to the
interior country, to get better land, and to avoii
taxes ; and there they may, in some ages, become
numerous as a country of farmers without mar
kets can be expected, but the settlers beyond the
Alleghany mountaina can no; become commer
cial"
Since Lord Sheffield's day, the cotton, rice and
tobacco of the South, and the Introduction of
steam as an agent of navigation, has put an en
tirely different face upon things. At the saino
time, England has grown in like proportion with
her gigantic offshoot, and these two countries are
now the strongest and wealthiest of the globe,—
the impregnable bulwarks of civilization aud lib
erty.

correspond k w c k of t hi dispatch
Petirsduko, Va, Oct. Slat, 1856.
Tbe streets are thronged to day with a gay and
unimated crowd, many strange faces appearing
therein, and all attracted, doubtless, by the Union
Agricultural Fair, which commenced this morning
et tbe spacious grounds near tbe western bounda
ry of the city. Nothing could ba more charming
than the weather—a most important circum
stance, be it remembered, for the soccess of an
Agricultural Fair snd Cattle Show. A sky with
out a cloud, and an atmosphere as delightful a*
heart coull desire, is vouchsafed to all who happen
to be in Petersburg this day, and not a few seem
determined to enjoy it totheirfiil. As the Fair
is tbe "great attraction " I weuded my way thither,
and with but little difficulty soon found myself
within tbe immense enclosure, surrounded by
enormous bulls and dwarfish sheep, fine borne*
And eijnealirg swine, crowing shanghais and gob
bling tnrkies, and last but not least, lovely speci
men* of find arts and crowds of 'adles, whose
beauty is tbe crowning glory of the exhibition.
The attendance was not as large to-day as it
will be to morrow, the gates being closed to all
save members of the Society, their (amiliea anil
the " Press " The articles on exhibition In Floral,
Farmers' and Octagon Halts, are not as numerous
as they were at the two preceding Fairs, but there
are home much more costly as well as handsome
specimens of handiwork displayed. To make spe
cial mention of all, in the brief limits I have pre
scribed tor this letter, were simply impossible,— to
single out one here and another there, where all
are so eminently deserving praise, would appear
invidious. 1 shall content myself, therefore, with
a brief reference to but three or four, hoping with
more time at my command to do better in my next
letter Mr. Henry Stratton, formerly of your city,
exhibits a magnificent velvet smoking suit—gown,
cap and slippers, tbe whole costing, it is said, $200.
It is beautifully work* d, and resembles the de
scriptions which tourists have furuished concern
ing the costly wardrobes of these wealthy old in
habitants of the Ottoman Empire, who have wives
enough to consign them to the American State
prisons the balance of their days, were they to
adopt tbe practice in this " land of the free "
Miss Helen Duna, a young lady of tender years,
having just entered ber teens, sends a series of
small sketches, representing the seasons—Spring,
Summer, Autumn and Winter—all the result ot
ber neat and skillful penciliu'g*, which would do
credit to more experienced fingers. Mr. J. T.
Young's case oi watche*, jewelry And silvere wAre,
are truly magnificent, ai.d attract much attention.
Messrs. A F. Crutchfield Sc. Co., with their accus
tomed energy, display in beautifully gilded frames
handsome specimens of printing in colors, execut
ed at the extensive Book and Job Office of the Ex
press Buildings. 1 am now satisfied that as neat
work of this description can be turned out in our
Southern cities as from those of a more Northern
latitude, and hope Southern merchants and other*
will bear the fAct in mind My note book reminds
me of other entries in th#Hail which would cer
tainly find a place here, but for my want of time
and space.
The display of Agricultural implements is very
creditable, and the exhibition of stock of every
kind fully equal to those of former years, both as
regards number and attendance Mr Paschal Bu
ford, a very devoted friend of the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad, and one of the most success
ful stock-raisers in Virginia, has a|large collection
of cows, bulls, heifers.tyearlings and calfs—some
of them having attained to an enormous size, aad
al[ in excellent condition.
The Executive Committee have decided on a
grand cavalcade of all tbe horses daily at 11
o'clock—and it is especially enjoined upon all ex
hibiting these noble specimens of the equine
speices, that they ride, drive, or lead their auiinals
arouud the track at tho hour above mentioned.
To-morrow morning, the grounds will be open
to visitors generally, (the restriction to members
and their families being removed after the first
day,) aud a very large company is anticipated. At
11 o'clock, Dr. K. O. Pritchard, of Warrenton, N.
C , will deliver tho Annual Address, and those
who know tbe gentleman's abilities, promise
something highly instructive and entertaining.
At the New Market Race Course, a very large
company waa assembled to-day, it being tbe open
ing of the Fall season. There wero three entries :
Wm. H. Gibbon's Nicholas, Jaine3 Tally's Tally-
Ho, and Maj. Doawell's Sue Washington The
two first not appearing, paid forfeit, so Sue walked
around the Course, aud took the purse.
The second raco was more interesting The
6t*ke was $100, mile heats, play or pay. The en
tries were :
James Talley, ch. c. by Tally ho, dam Caddy
Jones, by Sir Charles.
O. P. Hare b c. Toler, by Cbilde Harold, dam
Marchioness, by imported Uawton.
CoL Earnest, b. g. by Tally ho, dam Paris, by
Priam.
Only three came to the starting pole, Green de
termining not to run Senator, and paying forfeit.
The race was won in two straight heats by Col.
Earnest's bay gelding, by Tally-ho, dam Paris, by
Priam. Time 1:52—1:53.
The political cauldron is boiling over here, and
the Democracy, availing themselves of the Fair
week, seemed determined to avail themselves of
the occasion. Last evening Gov. Smith addressed
a large audience at the court-house. He was suc
ceeded by J. Horace Lacy, Esq , of Spottsylvania.
To night James Lyons, Esq , wiil harangue the
sovereigns, and to-morrow night the Hen. John 8.
Caskie is announced for a speech. Saturday night,
I learn, has been assigned to Judge William W.
Crump. This afternoon, at four o'clack, a pole is
to be raised at tb" corner of Sycamore and Wash
ington streets, in honor of Buchanan and Breck
enridge The American party are making no
outward demonstration this week, but I am told
their Ward Committees are in session every even
ing until after midnight and working like Beavers.
So we go. Hurra for the " 'Little' Cockade."

a Mure the public of Virginia that it la considered the
most perfeet system of riding known in either Eu
rope or America. The Kre\ich Consul, Mr. Paul, has
introduced Mr. Rozsanyi to trie with the highest com
mendation of hitn as a man and as a matter of his
art. 1 trust that he will secure such a patronage of
his rcbool as to form a delightful museum of exer

training bo proposes gives health to the lider and adds
double value to tho hotao. For the troops and cavalry
it will be invalaablo. 1 heartily commend the School
to public patronage and confidence.
