Etc. In addition to the carriages, buggies, and other vehicles mentioned in our morning's pa per, we have this evening to add some otfcera; a Wmle on the grounds this morning we entered the place where R. Marsh Denman St on Carondelet street, this city, had displayed a trulyplendid and elegantly furnished assortment of vehicles. The first we inspected was a beautiful two horse park phaeton, lined with reddish colored morocco. Near this stood a no top coal box baggy.

We then looked at a' two horse eoupee trimmed with blue ailk wrcps. This is certainly a handsome vehicle. The next one that attracted as is what is called a "Mylord Vic toria," trimmed with claret colored satin. It is for two horses. The next was a splendid Clarence coach, trimmed with fawn colored satin, with Prince's metal mountings, and is of the style most fashionable in the Norh and Europe.

This vehicle would do to be entered at the grand French Exposition, at Paris, next year. It has improvements in the way of sliding windows adapted to the Southern climate. We then looked at a fine shifting top buggy, trimmed with wine colored silk. This buggy is to be raffled for at an early day, for a benevolent purpose, by a committee of gentlemen. We don't recollect ever having seen a more beautiful and elegant display of pleasure vehicles.

All of these vehicles were manufactured at the factory of Messrs. at Bahway, New Jersey. 1 We see that a Beater Cotton Press, entered by Thomas Baid, 127 St Mary street, of this city, was being put np this morning. Stack, te. An addition in the way of horned also, was made this morning.

Of the number was a fine white bull of the Durham breed, only two years and a half old, entered by J. J. Burnett, in thia city. The hair of this fine yoong bull looked like white satin. He was calved in Kentucky? and raised in the city.

We were pleased to see that the Poultry "Department had received large addition this morning of geese, (gabbling still,) chickens of several kinds; the most prominent being the Shanghais, and docks, etc There was also a display of upland bottom raised cotton, and city ginned cotton, and Southern mosses for cushion and mattress purposes. This moss looked as strong and black as horse mane. The Crescent City Sugar Refinery made a display in an elegant style. The display of fruits, confectioneries, cigars, periqne tobacco, chewing tobacco, bakeries, etc, were all in the best style.

A fine steam fire engine, Caddo No. nfactured at the Island Works, Seneca Falls, N. presented a fine and a glittering appearance. The track for the exhibition of stock within the arena is, this morning, being rolled and put in good condition. The race this evening, which is a single dash of.

This attractive pavilion was again one of ihe principal points towards which visitors bent their steps yesterday. Mr. Moss, the energetic superintendent, is still busy in making additions to the already beautiful display of plants and flowers.

He is ably assisted in bis work by the chief gardner of the Fair Grounds, Mr. Guerrese. On.the right of the eastern entrance, a handsome collection of good sized orange trees, laden with fruit, has been placed. Mr. Maitre, florist, ou the opposite side of the tent, displayed a gorgeous assortment of rose blossoms yesterday.

The collection of flowers and plants, of which the magie garden in the centre is filled, looked, if anything, fresher than upon Tuesday. The fringe of moss, with blossoming flowers peeping oat here and there among the water phuts, along the edges of the basia, stands out hi pretty relief against the waving foliage above, making a picture for remem brance, and one which all of our people who desire to ornament their gardens, should study 'attentively. These magic gardens, as Mr. Moss has quaintly named them, can be made at very "little expense, and admit of great variety in the arrangements of the plants. A little fountain is all that is needed to make it a complete success.

At the main entrance of the tent, which is flanked on either side by rows of shrubbery, ar two chairs, wrought out of Italian sandstone with elaborate carvings. These are said to be the work of a crazy artist, but there is certainly a charming method displayed in the design and execution The coat of arms of the State of Louisiana a pelican feeding her young forms the back of one of the chairs, while upon the other a serpent is seen writhing in the bill of a heron.

The desire upon the part of visitors to examine this elegant receptacle of fine arts and choice handiwork did not seem to abate in the least during yesterday. From early morning until late in the evening groups of ladies and gentlemen were to be met strolling from one point to another, the ladies casting long and wistful glances at the diamonds and jewelry, while the gentlemen, although not entirely indifferent In this respect, seem to pay more special attention to the elegant display of embroidered shirts and furnishing goods, and articles in this line. We omitted to mention in our report yesterday a very curious and beautiful picture of J.

M. Jacquard, woven in white silk upon the original loom, the invention of which has made his name so famous in the history of textile fabrics. The lights and shades of this picture are wonderfully executed. It can be seen among the collection of paintings on exhibition by Frank Wegener, No. 51 Camp street C.

E. A. Tyler, of Canal street, has made some handsome additions to his display of sil verware. His specimens of home manufac turea jewelry, openea yesterday, are very beautiful. Jn the handsome cases of Ir.

Zimmerman, jeweler, on Canal street, we notice an ex quisite collection of what are called skeleton flowers. They are prepared from the fibres of plants, and are bleached white by a chemi cal process. These flowers are very beautiful and will well repay a visit to Mr. Zimmerman's depart ment. In the centre of the elegant silverware collection of A.

B. Griswold St is one of the most beautiful medallion tea sets, which it has ever been our good fortune to look upon. And what renders it doubly attractive is the fact that it ia of home manufacture ef Messrs. G. fit own make.

They have, also, a magnificent silver punch bowl of their own manufacture. Among the pencil drawing there are two which deserve mention one a picture of a deer by a pupil aged 13 years of the Second District Boys' High School, and another clever sketth by Master Andre Gnyol, aged 12 years, also of the JSecond District Near these pic tures is a very beautiful painting on glass, transparent, representing the Seraglio Court in the Moorish palace of Sevelle. Not far from these is a very carious collection of comic pictures, cut with scissors out of white paper, and arranged together in a frame. Two pastel jaintings, fancy oval pictures, by F.

AllsceUaneoaa Aepartmeat. On entering this department we first observed Mendenhall's self acting hand loom, with improvements, and entered by Mumford, Coon St of Hinds county, Mississippi. The capacity of this loom is forty yards per day, and will manufacture either cotton, woolen or hempen goods. We also observed the Bro in well hand loom, manufactured by Wm. Brom well St of Cincinnati.

This is also a good machine. After passing these looms, we came upon any quantity of fin hoes, rakes, pitchforks, shovels, oat cutters, corn shellers, blacksmith's bellows and gins. We admired on our tour a very fine planing machine, from the machinery depot of Alexander Anna, 74 Carondelet street, this city. Also, from the same depot, a power drilliag machine for piercing holes through iron. We next looked, at the celebrated E.

Carver's improved cotton gin, which was ia lull operation. The feathery staple, coming from the clean cutting saws and steady brushes, fell like enow. This is, perhaps, the best cotton gin extant Fr um this department we entered one where there appeared to be. a still greater Ihe hrst sight which attracted our attention, and it was a brilliant one; was the display of furniture from the large establishment of Mitchell, Craig of Nos. 38 and 40 Royal street Here was an oval gilt frame mirror, one with' black frame with gilt stripe, and a tall one with black and gilt frame, and purple cord and tassel, all fine as can be.

There we observed a rosewood wardrobe with mirror panels in the doors, a rosewood bedstead, a rosewood corner stand mirrored, and a mahogany bureau with mirror. Then an easy chair, made of oak, and lined with green twilling. All of these articles of furniture were of the finest and most tasteful kind. In the furniture line, we took notice also, of the assortment displayed by Mr. G.

Mallard, of Royal street. Of this display there was one rare wood wardrobe with a mirror door, a rosewood bureau with marble slab and mirrors, a fine bedstead and a drapery of window curtains of pure Grecian style. Of this collection, there was a clock case carved out of walnut and then gilded, by Antone Eochele, of No. 19 Bourbon street This is one of the most unique piece of carving we have ever seen, it is also, enveloped in a glass covering.
