The display of fruit at the Winter Meeeting of the New York State Agricultural Society was not large, but very fine. The committee of arrangements had made ample and comfortable preparations both for exhibitors and visitors; and all present seemed to enjoy the occasion. We give the following report from one of the daily journals, the Albany Register:

There was exhibited at the Hall of the State Agricultural Society yesterday, the greatest variety of winter fruit ever collected in this city. The great bulk on exhibition came from the western part of the State, and but little from this section.

Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester had the greatest variety of Winter Pears, numbering 40 different kinds. It is said to be the greatest variety ever exhibited in the United States. They also had 38 varieties of Winter apples, embracing some of the choicest fruits. T. G. Yeomans, Walworth, Wayne county, 6 varieties of apples and 2 of pears. N. & E. S. Hayward, Brighton, Monroe county, 26 varieties of apples 2 specimens of Isabella grapes - one kept in saw-dost and the other in cotton. The former appeared the best preserved. Isaac Merritt, Penfield, Monroe county, three varieties of apples. F. W. Lay, Greece, Monroe county, 11 varieties of apples. Robert Brown, Greece, Monroe county, 20 varieties of apples. A. Frost, Rochester, 24 varieties of apples. Judge Burl, Rochester, 5 varieties of apples. J. H. Watts, Rochester, 5 varieties of apples.

The Society did not offer any valuable premiums for Fruit; but the committee were of the opinion that the Executive Committee might be induced to give a few to those who have shown so much zeal in getting together the greatest variety and choicest kinds of Winter Fruit The following premiums were awarded:
