National Baby Show.
Thl Rising Generation in Arms.--Intense Err a ...
ment — Beautiful Babies and Proud Mothers
r Jt wards of the Premiums.
|| We find in The Cincinnati Times of Friday
I Sett the following account of one of the most re-
J markable Fairs of this go-ahead country, held at
1. Spiiogfield, Clark Co., Ohio, on Thursday of last
week. It is a refreshing change from the dry
co naans of political resolves and convention
The Arrival of the Babies. —Decidedly the
greatest feature of this Fair was the National
Baby Convention, which took place yesterday.
It attracted people, adults and babies, from ail
parts of the Union. No less than 13,000 or 30,000
visited the Fair to day, (excluding babies) all of
whom appeared to be excited as to the display
of innocence and infantile beauty. The novelty
of the exhibition was of itself sufficient to cieate
a general interest, but to this was added three
services of silver plate as prizes. The managers
of the‘‘show” appeared to be taken aback at the
interest taken in the affair. They had supposed
that even their liberal premiums would not
tempt more than a dozen babies or so, and had
made arrangements accordingly. 10 o’clock yes
terday morning convinced them that they had
underrated ‘‘the importance of the occasion.”
Devoted mothers and doating fathers, with their
HMu little pets in their arms, came pouring into the
Fair grounds, each, no doubt, confident of leaving
hE I *" W1 ” one . P rize s- A small canvass tent j
s Hk fa® ' been assigned as the receptacle of the entries,
and into that mothers, babies and nuises were
ushered by gentlemen wearing rosettes upon
V their breasts. Soon there was ‘"music within.”
jPBI America's Voire is Heard. —Astonished.
■H probably, at finding themselves in “mass meet
ing . assembled,” the little ones sent up a cry,
BdjSw'uich shook the canvass-top and pierced the
Mrs of the people. In vain did the brass-band
/toot their instruments to drown if possible “the
gj>iercing cry.” Young America was aroused,
tend scorning to be beat, sent lorth notes which
yißHfemed the keys of the bugle and made the from-
Jmllmf blush for its weakness. ‘ The “babies! the
m? bjpsl’" was on the lips of every one. Ploughs,
; HTembroidery, reaping machines, fancy goods, me-
Bjj^Wi ca l skill and agricultural success, were all
in a moment. Blood horses and shoit
■■■Hiß-caftle were no whar! The people —men,
and children, ladies,gentlemen, and grow-
made a rush for the “Baby Tent.”
Being barred admission, however, they weie
obliged for the present to content themselves by
listening to the music. Some more anxious than
the rest—gentlemen, we mean—climbed the
adjoining trees, and enjoyed free gratis for noth
jy(H| * n £i a B *°len peep at the Baby Convention,
wh eh, from their expressions we judged was
■ bigbii gratifying.
cene tn the Tent —The tent presented a
I novel, amusing and interesting sight. The moth- |
ers»ad nurses were seated and had tne "‘little j
darlings” a!! ready for inspection, that is as near
P”' Pit ready as could be. To see so many babies to*
"85 novel; to note the maternal efforts to
them in the best mood, was amusing,
pHHPd to gaze upon their innocent laces and purest
©fchaims was certainly interesting.
There sata mother, her ejes directed alter
nately on the judges and on which
lay in her lap. By her sat another, holding up
proudly a lovely little girl, whose flaxen curia
and sweet blue eyes would soften the heart of
toe greatest baby-hater in Christendom. Next
-m to her a nurse was endeavering to quiet a stout,
black eyed rojy-cbeeked “one year old,” who
insists on pulling the jet black ringlets ot another
one about i f s own age. One lady pointed with j
pride tot.Ue chubby legs other darling boy, while
another glowingly refers to the delicate but well 1
formed features of her sweet babe, One boa-ted j
of having the largest of its age; another of the j
oß’WiSoccasi*<}“
and, in spite ot the most earnest entreaties, would
Be in mischief and keep up a continued noise.
t Others appealed unwilling to“beljeve their eyes,”
l and lay quietly in their mothers arms, watch
r ingthe pioceedings, with apparent interest, while
I otners insisted on hiding their innocent faces in
■Hg their mother’s bosoms, as rs they knew their re-
P|jl l luge was there.
|||jjt. Young America s Vernacular —Then the ex-
Hk previous which Mi on one’s ears! “Tome “to
mudder’s arms, madder’s ’ittie pet.” “Oh! “you
IfM darling Vtle toad!” “B'esS its ’ittie heart, it
“shall have some tandy.” “Tot, tot to Baridy
boss. ‘on its rnamme's ’ittie boss.” “Stan’ up
“itt!e pet ’ “Its sweet, so it is, mudder
P* knows it “is.” “Dump if it wants to, tause it
| tan dump” ‘Tiss mamma now, wont it tiss
1 mamma?” “Bouucety bounce, bomcety bounce.”
m “Now what a “naughty boy, see, the gentlemen
| are co ning.” “That’s a good bady—nurse can
I tome its hair, an’ it “don’t try a bit.” “Sweety,
mm sweety, mothers sweet,” and an hundred moie
lust such expressions.
Where the Babies Come From.— One hundred
and twenty seven babies were entered for exhi- i
■ bition. And they came from almost every where.
Several counties, including Ham.lton of Ohio,
were well represented, and then there were ba
|P r bies from Indiana, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and
■ Massachusetts We wouid publish the names,
Hi but for the serious protests of the parents, who
do not desire the world to know that their babies
entered for the prizes and did not get it. We
K/ appreciate their feelings and submit to their re-
Hf quest. In such an immense crowd we could not
with any propriety get anything like a personal
description of the babies, but we will mention a
K few which attracted general attention.
The Prettiest Baby. —lt was generally admit
ted that decidedly the prettiest child on exhibi
tion was !rom Cincinnati; it is the daughter of
Mr. Henry Howe. It is a really a sweet child,
and, without pretending to be a judge, we must
coincide with the general opinion.
Large and fat children seemed to predominate.
One from Indiana,one five months old, weighed
twenty-seven and a half pounds. Another, four
IJ I i months old, weighed twenty pounds.
£Lfj A pair of twins, of Clark County, attracted
S much attention. They were very pretty, and
as near alike as two peas.
An elderly lady was present with her seven
' teenth baby, only two months old. She claimed
nothing extraordinary in the child, but thought
•he was deservii g of a premium—and she certain
ly is.
Without attempting to particularize, we will
just say, that we think all the babies presented
J*jK were really pretty, and that their parents have
ifl® just cause to be proud of them.
Prizes Awarded —Names of the Vidors. —The
session was a long one, but about 6 o’clock in I
the evening the final decision was made.and the
J 9O prizes awarded as follows:
First prize, a splendid service of silver plate,
including a targe salver, to the daughter of Wm
Romner of Vienna, Ciark county, aged 10 months.
Second prize, a service of silver plate, to the
son of Wm. McDowell of Fulton, Hamil
ton Co, Ohio,aged 13 months.
Third prize, a plain service of silver, to the
daughter of Mr. A. Caron of Philadelphia.
Dissatisfaction — Volunteer Prize. —Great dis
satisfaction was expressed at the sward of the
first prize. It was thought it would be given at
||. - once, to tbe daughter of Mr. Howe, of Cincin
nati, and it was even proposed to take up a sub
scription on the spot, to purchase her a gift
worth at least as much as the prize. It was
understood that her claim had been strongly
urged, and that the prize was awarded to the
other child by a majority of only one vote.
* should not pass unnoticed, and afrer the awards
had been made known, waited or. the little fa
vorite. »Dd through Mr. DeGraff of Dayton, pre
\ seated her with a large and costly statuette of i
our Savior Blessing Little Children. This act
was highly applauded. ,

tiful city, which I have so long wished to see. and the
added temptation you hold out, in the shape of babies!
is almost irresistible. God bless their little sweetness ,
But how could I choose ? I. who love everything in

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1854.
Qy To Adysrtiser*.—JTrom this date, until
further notice, no Advertisements will be inserted

Ounwlvee.
| With pain and regret, I announce the death*
| by Yellow fever, yesterday, of Willis Guizc
| Thompson, eldest son of Mr. S. M. Thompson,
■ Commercial Editor of this psper. He was taken
; down on Friday evening last, at midnight; a
j few hours before, the writer of this walked with
him from Mr. Fogarty’* Drug Store, on Broad
street, to the lower market, near his residence, at
which time he was, to all appearance, in fine
j health and spirits; now, —cold in death.
This sad event has, of course, prevented Mr.
Thompson from attending to his duties at the
office, and will account for the absence of many
j things, which should appear in our columns this
morning; among which, are the names of seve
; ral who have contributed to the fund of the Sa
i maritan Society.— Gko. Roberts, Pressman.
Board of Health.
The Board report 2 deaths from Yellow Fever
for the last 24 hours, viz:
Johanna SenekovPscb, 38 years, Germany.

The Weather.
We have had very cool night* for more than a
week, but night belore last was the coldest of all.
We are informed that there was quite a smart
frost on the Sand Hills, r.ear the city, but we
have not yet heard of any in the city.
py The Charleston papers received last eve
ning, contain Captain Luce’s statement of the
loss of the Arctic. Its great length prevents us
from giving it this morning, as we have but
three compositors in the office. We will lay it
before our readers to-morrow.

Yellow Fever in St. Mary’s.
The Savannah Republican says: We yester
day received the lollowing communication from
a correspondent at St. Marys, giving a most
gloomy and distressing account of the condition
of the health of that place. We had hoped that
our neighbors would be 6iempt from the scourge
but it has been decreed otherwise, for one mail
scarce reaches us bringing us the painful news of
distress that bears down our friends of Beaufort
and Darien, when it is followed by another wail
| from those of St. Marys.
St. Mart's; Gao., Oct 17, 1854.
Messrs. Editors :—While the angel of death,
I jftuiy* ot°ine‘ciues 1 or® uMatuJ, vve too have felt
the scourge of his hand.
Uptothistimesincetheepidemic commenced
we have had 18 deaths, perhaps not all however
from Yellow Fever. There are now jierhaps from
30 to 100 cases in town that are or should be un
der medical treatment; there is scarcely a house
without some sick in it. Physicians cannot do
the work imposed upon them ; for out of the
four we had,our beloved Valentine appears al
most in the arms of death, Dr. DeLyou also is
sick, and Dr. Bacon after having gone day and
night from the beginning is prostrate, and
his little son was said be dying at our last ad
vices. Many of our citizens, (our Intendant
among them) have fled tbe place. Nurses are
scarcely to be obtained,and provisions are scarce.

Not Correct.—The statement made recent- 1
ly that the large engine ahipped from Baltimore
lor Virginia and Tenneaaee Railroad, bad fallen
overboard and sunk near Richmond, Va., is
without foundation.
Mulbkrries and “Peaches” in October.—
Last evening we were not a little surprised at
the sight of some ripe mulberiies which were
handed us by Mr. Thos. Purse, as a specimen of
this fruit, from a tree in the vicinity of his reai- ;
dence on South Broad street. The tree, Mr.
Purse tells us. has a very good crop upon it. The
berries are ot tbe usual size aud flavor ot the
spring fruit.
Now, as to the p;aches: they were not sent
us—being <OO young, as our friend remarked, to ,
be seperafced from the “ parent stem.” In a word, i
they were “ peachlings' l (to fabricate the word,) j
just beginning to shoot. Verily, such a state of 1
things is enough to tempt one to exclaim : *• Thou
hast all seasons for thirie own, oh”—peaches, and
mulberries too: were it not for the unmistakea- j
ble prospect now that they ore doomed soon to
wither at the North wind’s breatn.”
The gale of the 7th and Blh September stript 1
tbe leaves from our trees, and, immediately after, 1
a fresh-end beautiful green gave all a spring-like <
appearance- Saemutak Rep , 10 tk mst.

[From the New Orleans Picayune , Oct. 14.]
Later from Mexico.
The steamship Orizaba, Capt. Forbes, which
has been due since the morning of the 11th inst.,
reached the wharf about 9 o’clock this morning.
She had been detainud at Vera Cruz till the
morning of the 10th inst., by a heavy norther,
which prevented her from getting out. She left
at 10 A. M. of that day.
Capt. Forbes reports having left in port at
Vera Cruz the American brig Nemephar, Capt.
Marthchock. She was to leave on the 10th inst.
We have papers by the Orizaba from Vera
Cruz to the 10th inst., and from the city of Mexi
co to the sth. Among them we have received
eopies of the new paper, the Correo de Espana
There is not much of importance in the papers.
The great features are, as usual, festivities, rob
beries, Indian depredations, and an extraordinary
postponement of a ball, which was to have taken
place on the evening of the 27th ult., the anni
versary of Mexican independence.
The Mexican Economist of the 30th ult, whose
account we take for the present, reports the fol
lowing as the manner in which the 27th was
eelebrated:
“ In the morning a solemn mass was celebra
ted in the cathedral, assisted by all the civil and
military authorities. Divine service finished, the
authorities proceeded in procesion to the Alame
da, where an oration was pronounced by Mr.
Tagle. After this the Regiment of ths Guards
marched out to Chapultepec, where a military
breakfast was laid out, attended by His Serene
Highness the General President, his Ministers,
and other authorities. In the evening the whole
city was brilliantly illuminated, and presented a
splendid appearance.”
We shall only add to this that a decree had
previously been issued, ordering all persons to
illuminate and bedeck their premises, under pen
alties from $5 to SIOO.
From the Mexican Economist also we take
the following account of the sudden postpone
ment of the ball above referred to:
“ In our number of the 9th inst. we msntioaed
that a splendid ball wa9 to b# give* at Looja on
the 27th inst., anniversary of the victorious army
of the independence having entered the capital.
This ball, however, did not take place. It was
suspended on the evening of the same day, in
consequence of some disagreeable occurrences, by
which the families invited and the members of
the Lonja were the sufferers.
** The corps diplomatique having been invited,
were expected to attend in uniform, but having
refused to do so, the Government dacliu*d to at
tend the ball, and it was suspended.
“ We had already written an article fully ex
plaining the facts of the case, when w* saw yes
terday in the Diario Offidal a paragraph, stating
that the Government would publish U* whole
correspondence that had taken plaea in th* mat
ter with the Corps Diplomatiqus. We, fcherelore,
add a translation of the correspondence in ques
tion.
“In the meantime we only mantion what is
said in public, and what Will astoaish our Euro
pean readers—that an old coat is at the bottom
of the whole story!”
Various other reporta ara in circulation. One
says that it was intended to proclaim Santa An
na Emperor at the ball; another that it w*t the
plan of Ygsuala that was to b* proclaimed.
There is a report that on* of ths Regiments
has already proclaimed him Emperor, but were
prevented from carrying out their plana by the
double operation of a shower of rain and the re
fusal oi the other regiment* to join them.
We clip the following items from the Mexican
Economist of the 30th ult:
With the object of improving his health, H.
S. H., the President, has taken up hia residence
for a few days in the Archbishop’s palace, at
Tacubaya, about three miles from ths capital.
On the 25th inst., at 5 P. M., a salute of artillery
! announced his departure. H. S. H. was accom
panied by his ministers and staff, and was es
corted by a detachment of Lancers.
*• On the 28th a funeral service was celebrated
as usual in memory of the victims of Independ
‘ ence.”
The roads throughout the Republic are repre
sented as in a horrible condition, trade as fear
fully stagnant, and the cholera has been commit
ting serious ravages at some points.
The New York Cronica has been prohibited
from entering the Republic, and it is ordered to
be burnt wherever found
Life in Nkw Yoke. —Eighteen thousand
i people in the city of New York live un
! der ground—that is to say, in cellars, vaults and
j holes. So Rev. Mr. Cuyler asserts, and his in
| formation is said to be derived from actual inves
j tigation. He tells of one neglected quarter—a
j single lodging room or den—in which one hun
i dred outcasts of both sexes herd together, indis
criminately, every night. That may be called
j life in New York underground.
[From the London News , Sept. 23. j
Interview with Her Majesty.
Mr. Nathan Thompson, formerly engineer of
the Collins steamers, recently came to England
Ito exhibit a safety seat. He andeavored to pen
; etrate into Buckingham Palace, to exhibit it to
| her Majesty, but was referred to Captain De
j man, oi' royal yacht. Off went the American
| to Osborne, and found hi 9 way on board the
i yacht, and explained his object to Capt. Deman.
I Shortly after the royal party arrived, the yonng
i princesses each seized upon one of Mr. Thomp
son’* seats, aud rocked themselves to and fro
with true childish simplicity. Presently one of
; the crew was ordered overboard to try the mer
! its of this novel life preserver, and the experi
ment evidently was looked upon by the ladies
and gentlemen who accompanied the Queen and
Prince with great interest. Mr. Thompson,
meanwhile, was standing amidships, much dis
appointed that he had not been spoken to, and
fearing that, after all, be should not accomplish
the great object of his journey.
At that moment, much to his delight, Cap
tain Denman touched him on the shoulder, and
said, “ Mr. Thompson, I have permission to pre
sent you to her Majesty.” “ I shall be very
happy, sir,” and, amid the smiles and tittering
of the party whosurrounded the Queen, he ap
proached. and was introduced by Captain Den
man, “ I have the honor to present the inventor
of tha life-buoy to your Majesty.” “ How d’ye
do, ma’am ?” said Mr. Thompson. The Queen
bowed and the ladies suppressed their merriment
as well as they could. “I have brought, ma’am,”
said Mr. Thompson, “ one ol my seats as a pres
ent for you and your husband, which Ijhope you
will accept.” At this, further attempts at re
pression of laughter were unavailing; but tbe
Queen with great good nature, smiled, and con
descendingly said, “ Thank yon Mr. Thompson,
it is a very interesting and useful invention.”
After replying to a few inquiries lrom Prince
Albert, whose rank he was not aware cf until
he saw the Queen leaning on his arm, Mr
Thompson withdrew, and waving his hat in ex
uberant spirits, embarked in one of tbe Fairy’s
Doats kindly provided for him by the captain.
FUNERAL NOTICE.
