GENTLEMAN'S. Sylvanus Urban appears this month in the charac ter of a reformer, and demands a thorough reform and revision of the Prerogative-office at Doctors' Com • mons, a demand in which we cordially concur. The necessity of such reform will be best proved by per mitting Sylvanus to tell his own story in his own words, premising that the occasion of his complaint arose out of the impediments thrown in his way whilst endeavouring to ascertain who was the Sir Miles Hobart of the Parliament of 3d Charles 1., who locked the door of the House of Commons and put the key in his pocket in order to prevent the de parture of the Speaker and the entrance of the Black Rod. Mr. Urban, after mentioning a slight dis crepancy of dates, says— " How to reconcile this discrepancy we cannot tell; and in the present state of the Prerogative-office, where every inquiry is hedged round with impediments and fees, it is quite impossible to ascertain. There is no office in the kingdom the regulations of which are so atterly prohibitory of all literary inquiry as this. We went thither to endeavour to clear up this difficulty, and having paid the customary shilling fee, turned to the volume of the calendar applicable to the pariod in ques tion. That volume contains references to all the ad ministrations granted between 1631 and 1633, both in clusive, arranged in the order in which they were granted, not alphabetically, but merely by the initial letter of the surname of the deceased, and without any thing to indicate the dates of the respective grants. After some search we found a reference to one which related to Miles Hobart,' not Sir Miles Hobart.' We pointed out the circumstance to the attendant, and con cluding that this entry referred to the administration of !he 26th June, we requested to see it, supposing that the calendar had omitted the customary designation of knighthood. That turned out to be the fact, but the ad ministration alluded to was not the grant of the 26th June, 1632, but one granted on the 11th June, 1633. ft was not, therefore, the one which we wanted, and if the catalogue had stated its date we should not have re ferred to it. In the margin of the minute of this grant was a reference to another grant, which the attendant turned to, but still that was not the one we wanted. Again we searched the calendar, and found a reference to another grant whiCh was entered as relating to Sir Miles llobart:' that was turned to; it was the one we wanted; the book was laid open before us, but we were told that we could not consult it without the payment of another fee of one shilling.' " Why so?' "We were reminded that we had seen two grants on already, and were informed ery third. tha `Buttanextr thafeoesewewas h pay ableave thesightof every seen already,' we remarked, have been referred to in mistake.' Undoubtedly,' was the answer; 'if you had found what you want you would not desire to look fur ther; but such mistakes take up our time, and give us trouble. If you were searching in the name of Smith, our whole time might be occupied in turning from grant to grant before we found the right one.' " That would be the consequence of your calendars not being properly framed. The mistake, in this in stance is not ours but yours. If your calendar had stated the dates of the grants we have seen, we should not have referred to them. Do you make inquirers pay for that which is the consequence of your calendar being im perfect?' " Our protest was in vain. In vain also did we point out that the search was merely for a literary purpose. It made no differance. Nothing is known in the Prero gative-office but the strict rule of a shilling for every third.' So we paid our second shilling, and inspected the grant of 26th June, 1632. It clearly refers to Sir Miles the Member for Great Marlow, and yet it stands dated vicesimo sexto Junii, 1632,' three days before his death. " We inquired if there were any papers in the office by which the accuracy of the date could be tested. Several gentlemen (all of them very obliging) seemed to think there were not; another gave reasons for thinking that there must be, but there would be a fee of half-a crown for a search for them.' This, with all the at tendant uncertainties, and possibly Luther contingent kes if the papers were found, and all to enable us to clear up what is apparently a mistake in their own books, was a little too bad, and we walked away, musing how long ;t will bo before indignant common sense will be aroused to visit this snug little den of old-fashioned sinecure extortion with the rough besom of a whole sale reformation. This office now stands pre-eminent amongst public offices as that one in which there is no concern for literature, no appreciation of the historical uses of the documents of which the registrars are the appointed keepers, no proper calendars, no feeling or regard for the public character and credit of that church with which they are connected, or for anything save the one shilling for every third.' " THE I6IOA TH. Edited by Albert Smith; with Illustrations by John Leech. An admirable number, by far the best that has yek appeared of this mirth•exciting periodical. The parody of Mr. Samuel Warren's ravings in the "Lily and the Bee" is admirable, and the "Lays of Loyal Vegetarians" are first-rate. Commend us, however, to the following as the "gem" of the Month:— THE FOREIGNERS LAY OF LONDON. Byron's " Bride of Abydos," Canto I. Know ye the town wham policemen and navvies, Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime! Where the noise of the clocks, and the cries of the tabbies, E'er rouse you to madness o'er roofs as they climb. Know ye that Smithfield, abounding in kind, Where the dirt ever blossoms, and beams never shine? Know ye the land where their coffee is beans? Their milk chalk and brains, and their tea is but greens, Where they polish their apples and all other fruit, And the voice of the muffin-man never is mute? Where the tints of your nose, and the chimney-pot high, In colour not varied with blackness may vie, And the soot that falls on you is deepest in dye? 'Tis the town of the North, and of great Exhibitions, Of pickpockets, thieves, and of base impositions! Can you smile as you ride, when you know all the while, That the cabman will charge you five shillings , a mile! Oh, false as the bills of an actor's " farewell,' Aro the hearts that they bear, and the flea that they tell. ETENING, OCTOBER 15, Mi. THE '"SUN, bition, a special medal has been struck in commemoration of their important services. " It is the intention of the Commissioners to publish not only the names of those to whom the juries have awarded priz , s, but also the valuable reports which they have prepared on the state of science, art, and manu factures, in the several branches of the Exbiltition with which the juries have been cenversant. The Rival Commissioners fully appreciate the zeal and talent dis played by those jurors who have accepted the laborious dice of reporters to the juries; and they doubt not that their reports will form most interesting records of this Exhibition, and will afford important materials for as certaining the progress of human industry at any future time, when another review of its productions, like the present, may be determined on. "It now becomes my pleasing duty,on behalf of the Royal Commissioners, to deliver my west sincere ac knowledgments and thanks for the hearty co operation and support which the Exhibition has constantly received from foreign countries. The foreign Commissioners, who have left their own countries to superintend the illustra tion of their respective national industries at the Exhi bition, have ever shown that desire to aid the general arrangements w hich alone has rendered possible the suc cess of the undertaking. "To the Society of Arts, which by its exhibitions of works of national industry, prepared the way for this international Exhibition, the Royal Commission and the public feel that their acknowledgments are especially due, and the Commission have to thank that body for having carried out the preliminary arrangements to an extent which justified me as their President in the appli cation which I made to the Crown fur the issue of a Royal Commission. " The Commission have also to acknowledge the valuable services afforded by the eminent scientific and professional men who, on the sectional committee;, aided most materially in founding a scientific basis on which to rear the Exhibition. " To the local Commissioners and members of local committees, but more especially to those who have un dertaken the onerous duties of secretaries, our best ac knowledgments are also due. Without their zealous aid it would have been impossible to have obtained an effi cient representation of the industrial products of their respective localities. _ . And finally, we cannot forget that all the labours of those thus officially connected with the Exhibition would have been in vain, had it not been for the hearty good will and assistance of the whole body of exhibitors, both foreign and British. The zeal which they have displayed in affording a worthy illustration of the state of the industry of the nations to which they belong, can only be equalled by the successful efforts of their indus trial skill. The Commission have always had support and encouragement from them during the progress of the undertaking, and they cannot forget how cheerfully they submitted to regulations essential for their general good, although sometimes producing personal incon venience to themselves. If the Exhibition be successful in aiding the healthy progress of manufactures, we trust that their efforts will meet with a due reward. " In now taking leave of all those who have so ma terially aided us i❑ their respective characters of jurors and associates, foreign and local Commissioners, mem bers and secretaries of local and sectional committees, members of the Society of Arts, and exhibitors, I can not refrain from remarking, with heartfelt pleasure, the singular harmony which has prevailed amongst the eminent men representing so many national interests—a harmony which cannot end with the event which pro duced it. Let us receive it as an auspicious omen for the future ; and while we return our humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for the blessing He has vouch safed to our labours, let us all earnestly pray that that Divine Providence which has so benignantly watched over and shielded this illustration of nature's productions, conceived by human intellect and fashioned by human skill, may still protect us, and may grant that this interchange of knowledge, resulting from the meeting of enlightened people i❑ friendly rivalry, may he dispersed far and wide over distant lands; and thus, by showing our mutual dependence upon each other, be a happy means of promoting unity among nations, and peace and good will among the various races of mankind." It was intimated that the medals, report, and certificates, would be distributed as soon as the ar rangements could be completed, for the: purpose of which due notice is to be given. The last verse of the National Anthem was sung by the choir and visitors at the close of his Royal Highness's reply ; after which the immense multitude assembled be neath the transparent roof of the building became hushed and still while the Bishop of London offered up a Prayer of Thanksgiving for " the wonderful measure of success which the Divine Providence had • vouchsafed an undertaking designed to exhibit the glories of the Almighty creation, to promote the useful exercise of those faculties which lie had im planted in the sons of man, and to encourage the growth of peace and brotherly love." The following extract from the prayer was audibly responded to by those who were within the compass of the Right Rev. Prelate's voice, namely : " We humbly thank Thee, 0 Lord, that Thou hest graciously prospered the counsels of him who conceived, and of thoie who have carried out that great design; and that Thou hest mercifully protected from harm the multitudes who have thronged this building. We ac knowledge it to be of Thy goodness, that a spirit of order and mutual kindness, of loyalty to our Sovereign, of obedience to the laws, and of respect for the sanctity of Thy Sabbaths, has been manifested by the people of this country, in the sight of those who have been here gathered together from all parts of the world. " We devoutly pray, that all may be led to acknow ledge Thy power, wisdom, and goodness, in the achieve ments of man's industry and skill ; and may depart to their several homes to speak in their own tongues the wonderful works of God."' Probably the reading of this prayer and the solemnity which reigned throughout the tran sept, while the surrounding multitude were joining with the Bishop in uttering the Lord's Prayer, will form one of the sublimest incidents in the history of the Exhibition. The majority of those who were placed in the centre of the transept were upon their knees, and it would be impossible to conceive a more impressive scene than the im immediate centre of the building presented at this moment. At the end of the prayer the hallelujah chorus was sung, and the Prince and his fellow-Commissioners retired from their seats and the triumph of their twelve months' labours, as they entered, followed by the echoing shouts of the en tranced multitude. Many of the visitors remained to take a lingering glance at the gems of the Exhibition, and they had thus an opportunity of observing the surprisingly rapid preparations which have been made for removing and distributing the works which for the last five months have so much excited the wonder and admiration of the civilized world. Much disap pointment was felt at the absence of her Majesty and the Duke of Wellington, but her Majesty has tra velled much during the last few days, and perhaps fatigue was the immediate cause of her not being present. Nothing, however, could have been snore appropriate than the final scene of this astonish ing drama, and although there was none of the splen dour visible that characterised the opening, yet those who this morning braved the rain must have been amply rewarded by the proceedings of the interior for the annoyance which they had suffered outside. It was, indeed, a magnificent spectacle, the end of the Great Exhibition. LLOYD'S sHIPpING.—(I.'HIS DAY.)

A CRIMINAL CASE IN TEXAS.—At a late trial, somewhere in Texas, the defendant, who was not familiar with the multitude of words which the law employs to make a very trifling charge, after listening a while to the reading of the indictment, jumped up and said, "Them 'ere allega tions is false, and that 'are allegatoz knows it." LONDON', MAGAZINES._&c.—(CONTINUED.) FRASER. The title of the last puler in Fraser is alone suffi cient to attract to it the attention of Every reader, " Henry, Lord Brougham, his Carer and Character," and sel ioni has any paper appeared in any magazine more worthy of attentive study. The writer has completely isolated kimself from c.nteniporary pre judices and passions, and has detected and exposed contemporary misrepresentations ; he will " Nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice;" and the consequence is, that he has given us the most just appreciation of the greatest intellectual giant of the present age, and posterity will no doubt confirm his judgment. Of the charge of insincerity, so recklessly brought against him, the writer well observes, " that is a matter between Lord Brougham and his former allies : one thing is quite clear, that he has always been true to the public." The following passage is admirable : "As for Lord Brougham's eccentricity,' to the vulgar eye it stands confessed, a fact. In the vulgar acceptation of the word, Lord Brougham is daringly ec centric. In free countries, it is not permitted to men to differ from their neighbours, except in very slight and imperceptible shades. Custom out-tyrannizes absolutism. In France or in Germany, one may do as one likes, be cause society is ground down by a ruthless despotism; but in England, do as you like, if you dare: Lord Brougham, it seems, chooses to do as ho likes. After a long day of arduous labour, he prefers a walk to a ride; and if his blood wants circulating, he walks fast; when he speaks, he speaks aloud, having been used so to do, as a matter of business, all his life ; if his hands be cold, he puts them in his pockets; though fashions change for the benefit of tailors, Lord Brougham sticks (as many a north countryman has done before him) to the check or the plaid; not being particular about hats, he does not wear his stuck horizontally ou the top of his head, like an inverted chimney-pot, but lets it go aslant on the •back, a practice less painful to the forehead; being natu rally of an ardent and excitable temperament, he uses much gesticulation in talking—about as much as a Frenchman would require in order to tell you it is a fine day; in short, Lord Brougham commits divers offences against the leaden sovereignty of custom, all which are prculiarly shocking in a Peer. Being, too, naturally of an affable and sociable disposition, he fraternizes quickly with those for whom he takes a liking, and spouts out his thoughts and feelings, instead of filtering them, as your grave ones do. He is in the world and of the world; a fast friend; the gayest and wittiest of compa nions; the most enjoying and the most enjoyable; a pa triarch in experience and sagacity, but a sehoolboy in freshness of feeling. He is a man; not an ennobled ab straction. He is odd, unique, bizarre—anything but ec centric; for there is not a man among u s w h o h as hi s aplomb, or whose moral and mental centre of gravity more firmly pivot the violent oscillations and gyrations of his passionate' energy. "If the superabundance of this energy makes him seem to overdo things, we should remember that the tread or the gripe of the giant, however gently meant, comes hard and heavy on us ordinary men. With all his oddities, or his reckless disregard of conventional prescribed laws, his self-possession never quits him for an instant. Go to him when you will, or on what you will, he is ever ready, clear-headed, toned and polished to razor pitch. Next to the Duke of Wellington, he is the public arbitrator most often consulted on matters coming within the range of his specialities. In private life he is respected and beloved by all to whom he discloses his true nature. Look at his past career, and you have the materials for a di son ordinary reputations: look at his present position, and you are the more struck with the tremendous energy and perseverance with which he has righted himself in the public mind, after having been subjected to a persecution and prostration utterly without parallel among civilians since the downfall of Bolingbroke." We hope this admirable article will be republished in a separate and cheap form ; it should be universally circulated. We are rejoiced to find Fraser coming forward as the champion of toleration and charity (miscalled Latitudinarianism by the bigots of all par ties), and urging all moderate men, and men of com mon sense, to unite together to curb the vagaries of the sacerdotalists, whether they tend to Rome on the one hand, or to Geneva on the other. This article, entitled " Dr. Whichcot and Bishop Butler," is also well worthy of study particularly at the present mo ment. The greater portion of the remainder of Fraser consists of reviews of recently published works. WEDNESDAY COLLECTED EDITION OF THE WORKS OF DOUGLAS JERROLD.

SlR,—The Grand Duchess with young Ellett up, in a spin for the 5 sovs. Stakes opened the day's sport wish a most exciting race; the winner and Sardanapalus bounced away at a strong bat, followed by the Exotic filly. The Celeste filly in starting fell—the Duchess maintained her lead throughout, and won a splendid race from Nat on S ar d ana p a l us , by a nec k, Butler, on the Exotic filly, b e i ng o n ly a l ong nec k b e hind. In the spurt for the Roy al Stakes, Norman, on Midas, jumped off with a stiff lead at starting, Harpsichord laying second, and Ariosto third; they travelled in this order to the descent from the bushes, where Ariosto crept into the second place, and, challenging Midas a do asn strides from the chair, won easy by a length. The next stake that stood for decision on the roll of time was the grand one of the week—the Cesare witch—which, singular to say, has resulted in the victory of an extreme outsider. Thu, field, numbering 26, was got well from the post, several of the fast light-weights laying in front till near the distance; here it was u r with all but Barcelona, Candlewick, Mrs. Taft, Darkie, Dulcet, and Hippolytus; half way up it the race was no longer in doubt, Mrs. Taft, a six-year old with a stone for every year, steered admirably by Steggles, cleared the field, and won rather easily by two lengths; Barcelona, who had looked well for three parts of the race, beating Candlewick four lengths for second piece, the latter a length is head of Hippolytus; Dulcet fifth, and Darkie sixth. The race was run at a good pace, as the time, 4 min. 6 sec., will certify. It is a funny fact that not one of the seven prophetic celebrities have hit the mark; my particular fancy, Hippolytus, ran no nearer than fourth, and not a bad performance against the winner's either, when it is considered that he gave three years for one pound difference in weight. I believe this is the first time Mr. Bevil' has ever had the luck to win a large stake or handicap, and it is to be hoped, now that Mrs. Taft has broken the charm, he may go on and conquer. The winner was not mentioned in the ring at starting, although 1,000 to 30 had been repeatedly offered in the town, and in a few instances taken. It is generally believed tbat with regard to the bookmakers they are on the right side of the post this time, and that the aris tocracy and public, the former especially, have dropped the circulating article very st.ffly. The Clearwell Stakes shook the nerves of the ring into a most electric paced gallop by the unexpected defeat of the crack Elcot, who actually gave way at the cords and left the race to King ston and Harbinger, the former getting a little the best of it as he approached the chair, and winning out of the fire by a short neck from the Goodwood horse; Ambrose was a bad third, and Elcot fourth; Cara Cara, Theodine, St. Andrew, and Major Pitt's Ratan filly beaten off early. This running of Kingston's, giving 61bs to Har binger, 3lb to Elcot, and 61b to everything else in the race, must not be forgotten, as the animal evidently im proves with every appearance in public. The Cambridgeshire betting has not been materially influenced by the decision of the Cesarewitch; Curl and Newminster still maintaining the lead as first favou rites at 10 to 1 each—the Heriot, however, has advanced to 12 to 1, Candlewick to 13 to 1, Prime Minister to 14 to 1, and Breba 25 to 1. _ _ The following are the fields for to-morrow's races, as near as they can be ascertained at the present moment. —Dinner Stakes—Greengage (Nat), 1; The filly by Alarm, 2; The filly by St. Martin, 3. Bretby Stakes— Red Hind or Glenluce, 1; Trinket, 3; Taga filly, 4. 200 Sovs. Stakes—Uriel, 1; Bordeaux, 2. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 15, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NE WMARKE T SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY NlGHT. — Speculators from all parts and every grade poured in this evening, and the room, from nine o'clock until after midnight, was thronged. The amount of business, however, was not by any means commensurate with the numbers present, and the alte rations were confined to a few of the Cesarewitch horses. Hippolytus and Darkie improved on the pre vious quotations, and Antigone, displacing her stable companion, bccamo a very prominent favourite; Sauter la•Coupo also advanced several points, and 20 to 1 was the extreme laying pride against Candlewick, Westow, and The Italian. Goldfinder receded to 12 to 1, and Backbiter to 30 to I—neither of them backed. The general prices left off as follows: CESAREwITCrI. 9to 2 apt Hippolytus (t) 20 to 1 agst Westow S to 1 agst Darkie 20 to 1 agst Italian 12 to 1 agst Antigone 30 to 1 agst Backbiter 12 to 1 agst Sauter la Coupe 30 to 1 apt Officious 12 to 1 agst Goldfinder 35 to 1 agst Hungerford 20 to 1 agst Candlewick 40 to 1 agst Dulcet 1,000 even on Hippolytus agst Rogers's lot.

The first day did not by an y means come up to the " Second October" standa rd, and we cannot s p e a k in very glowing terms of the great one. The list was weak in quantity, and the principal event, if it did not show much falling off in the extent of the field, proved, this morning, from the moderate caste of the hor ses en g a ged , the most uninteresting ever decided , and , unti l ex cept, perhaps, to those who were fortunate enough to get against the leading favourites from the commence ment, the reverse of profitable to the round betters. It is not surprising, therefore, that the assemblage on the heath this afternoon, although very large, was less than usual, both in number and grade, or that there was little of the excitement we have co often witnessed on Cesarewitch gatherings. Time only permits us to add that the race came off in favour of an animal that had been backed in the town at 1,000 to 30, but was not mentioned in the ring on the heath.

Last night the hall of the Literary Institution, John-street, Fitzroy-square, was crowded by an au dience eager to hear a lecture on the Bloomer dress reform, advertised to be delivered by Mrs. H. Knight, assisted by her daughter, Miss Charlotte Knight. Precisely at half-past eight the two lady lecturers appeared upon the rostrum, dressed in full Bloomer costume. Mrs. KNIGHT, who is an eloquent and distinct speaker, commenced her address by demonstrating the false position occupied by women at the present time, and then passed on to prove that the reform which she advocated in female dress would be conducive to the real well-being of the wives, mothers, and daughters of England. She denounced the " light and fash ionable slipper," the horrible compression of the lungs produced by stays, and the long draggling dress which in wet weather keeps its wearer damp and chilly—as fruitful sources of consump tion. The anomalous position now occupied by woman was in accordance with the will of her master, —man ; but would it not be better, she asked, to lei women have their own way a little sometimes, espe cially in matters of dress, which concerned exclu sively her own health and comfort?—(Hear, hear.) But the question was one which concerned all, even the Legislature, as there could be no healthy and ncble-minded children unless there were first noble minded and healthy mothers. With respect to the advantages of the new costume over the old, she claimed for it the superiority in convenience, form, colour, easiness of adjustment, and picturesqueness of effect.—(Hear, hear.) Having thus far addressed the wives and mothers, Miss Knight would, while she rested apace, address the daughters, the juveniles, then present. Miss CHARLOTTE KNIGHT, a young lady, appa rently about twelve years of age, then came forward, and addressed the juveniles in a series of rhymes, the burthen of which was to tease their papas and mamas to buy them the Bloomer costume, in which they would be able to run, jump, and dance like men. On concluding the young lady was rapturously encored, but declined to repeat her address. Mrs. KNIGHT then resumed, dwelling upon the advantages to be derived from the adoption of the new costune, among which would be the saving of the time now consumed in " single stitch, double stitch, and all the other stitches," which might instead be devoted to the improvement of the female mind. Ladies wore stays to give themselves a good figure, but it was not a good figure; it was a cramped and contracted figure, exactly representing the cramped and contracted feet of the Chinese ladies, who looked like towers based on pebbles, although their cramped feet were, in truth, no more ridiculous than the wasp waists of Englishwomen.—(Hear.) Shedid not deny that the new dress might seem awkward, and even a little ridiculous at first, but that would wear off in time. A Bloomer was a rare bird now, but they were spreading their nets, and hoped to catch a few more—(Laughter) —and from coming to hear lec tures on the dress, ladies would soon pass to wearing the dress itself; and, after doing so with courage and determination, they would find out its advantages, and become Bloomers indeed.—(Cheers.) Mrs. Knight and her daughter retired from the rostrum amid cheers from the audience, which then quietly dispersed. PARIS, SUNDAT.—Three "Bloomerists" made their appearance on the Boulevards yesterday, and attracted so much inconvenient attention that they were obliged to take refuge from the crowd in a brougham. BLOOMERISM IN EDINBURGH.—On Thursday evening a young woman was perceived walking along Nicholson -street, dressed in the most fantastic style ofthe Bloomer costume. Her appearance soon at• tracted a large crowd of boys, whose remarks were characterised by more freeness than politeness. The young woman bore the insulting remarks very pa tiently, until she arrived at the South Bridge, where the crowd had increased to several hundreds. She was at last reluctantly compelled to take refuge in a haberdasher's shop from the crowd, which had grown so dense as to make her further progress a difficult matter.—Saturday Evening Post. HUNTING A BLOOMER.—Yesterday evening two females, in the Bloomer costume, accompanied by two gentlemen, promenaded in the vicinity of the Kent road, distributing bills, announcing a lecture on the reformation of ladies' dress in the Borough -road. The novelty in this case was, that the trousers were loose over the instep, instead of being fastened round the ankle. A crowd soon collected round them, and the male escort had some difficulty in getting them along. As they approached the Elephant and Castle the mob became exceedingly rude, and the party pru dently hailed a passing cab, in which the Bloomers, after considerable pushing to get through the mob, were deposited and driven off, amidst an indescribable medley of sounds, whistling, cheering, and shouts of laughter. A FOREIGN BLOOMER.—Yesterday forenoon a con siderable degree of interest was manifested in War wick -street, Pimlico, and the neighbourhood, owing to the appearance of a foreign lady, of something like European notoriety, attired in full " Bloomer" cos tume. A great crowd having been attracted, the fair Bloomer in question was followed by several hundred of the juvenile population, who testified their admira tion by loud and frequent applaudings of the young lady's temerity in braving the storm of a London mob, as yet not wholly wedded to the recent invasion of the garbs of their ancestors. Whether a new light has broke in upon the mind of a specimen of a most singular race of the creation, is a question, not perhaps to be answered by the essay of Miss Luggy, one of the Boejeman ladies, who for the last four years, have been making the tour of Europe, but certainly she, in the costume of a Bloomer, yester day, not only looked intelligent, but absolutely digni fied, as she strutted through Warwick-street, preceded by a policeman, who gallantly heralded her approach, by clearing a passage for the distinguished disciple of the Transatlantic heroine. The fair Bloomer, whose name, it is said, is Miss Luggy, seemed exceedingly pleased, not only with herself, but with the reception she was meeting, until at length one young urchin taking it into his head to handle the short curly down, yclept hair, of the diminutive lady, the scene changed to one of a less pleasant nature, and it be came necessary for the gentleman of the force to lay hands upon the intruder, and walk him off to the police station. The promenade of Miss Luggy was of course brought to a close ; and several expressions of sympathy from the matronly portion of the audience, the young foreigner was, under the protec tion of a policeman, escorted to her home by several of her most energetic admirers.

OCTOBER 13.—The whole of the Royal Artillery and the 17th Lancers in the garrison off duty assembled in light marching order to-day on Woolwich Common, where they were drawn up in line in the following or der:—The Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bell; the 17th Lancers, under Major Brett; the right battalion of the Foot Artillery, under Lieutenant-Colonel Dalton; a nine-pounder field battery, with gunners dismounted, of Captain Craw ford's company, the centre battalion under Lieutenant- Colonel Wilford ; a 12-pounder field battery, with gun ners dismounted, of Captain Taylor's company, the left battalion under Lieutenant-Colonel Otway, and the light field batteries under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the garrison, arrived on the ground at a quarter past ten o'clock, accompanied by Lieutenant- Colonel Thorndike, Lieutenant-Colonel Tylden, Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Riddell, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General of Artillery, The Lieutenant-General commenced his inspection of the troops by riding up the front of the line from right to left, the bands playing during the time he was passing the respective branches of the Royal Artillery service and the 17th Lancers. The troops then broke into open columns, and marched past at slow time, and the Foot Artillery and heavy field batteries again at quick time, the Horse Artillery, the light field batteries, and the 17th Lancers at a trot. The Lancers returned past at a canter, and the Royal Horse Artillery at a gallop. The troops subsequently went through a few of the evolutions of a field-day, but without any firing, as no ammunition had been served out to them, nor where any distinguished visitors or foreigners expected to be present on the occa sion. At the conclusion the troops formed in line and marched forward, giving the usual salute to the Lieut.- General, and again marched past at quick time to bar racks. The men were ordered to dine at 1 instead of 12 o'clock, and the guards to be relieved at 3 r.m. instead of half-past 10 o'clock A.M. irbtrti UDtttou NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.)

The earth having been exca vated to the depth of 5 or 6 feet, some 2 or 3 feet wide, and 7 orb feet in length,lwas shored round on Monday night:with scaffold poles, and two men left to take care of the lanterns and to see that the candles were not allowed to go out. The men, it seems, either feel asleep or neglected to trim the lights, for the latter went out and left the boarding in such a condition that it could not be perceived by an ordinary tra veller until he arrived within a few feet of the hole. A man driving a cab was placed in that dilemma; for, in passing along the road, the horse dashed through the scaffolding, and immediately fell into the arerture in the ground. The cab, being too large to enter the sewer, remained above, but the weight of the horse was so great that it b ro k e the shafts away from the carriage, and, being entangled against the earth-walls of the sewer, it was found impossible to get him out alive; and, after struggling for some time, the animal became suffocated. The horse is described as being a valu able one; the loss will therefore be somewhat considerable, as the vehicle is much damaged. The driver received a severe shock by being thrown from his cab, but was compa ratively unhurt. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—A fatal accident occurred in the dockyard on Sunday morning to William Colesworthy, leading man of shipwrights. They were at tempting to dock the Tartar, hulk, on Saturday; but owing to there not being sufficient water, the workmen were or dered into the yard on Sunday morning, at half-past twelve, and while in the act of heaving the ship in dock one of the bow hawsers broke, and struck Colesworthy, who was standing at the head of the dock, and fractured his skull to a great extent. He was immediately taken to Melville Hos pital ; but consciousness never returned, and he expired about noon on the same day. AQUATICS. —Yesterday a race took place between John Blackmore and John Allen, below-bridge watermen, for 251. a side. The distance was from Erith to the Venus at Charlton. The Fairy steam-boat, which was to accompany the match, started from Woolwich for Eritk, which it reached about three o'clock. Shortly after the start took place, and a very gallant struggle ensued Blackmore had the lead at starting, which he kept for some time, closely followed by Allen, who pulled up in fine style. The competitors were then scull and scull for a considerable distance, when Allen shot ahead of his opponent. He kept the lead, and reached the Venus a short distance in advance of Blackmore, amidst the cheers of his friends. An inquest was held at Staplehurst a day or two since upon the body of John Rotting Saunders, head porter at the Staplehurst station of the South-Eastern Railway. It appeared in evidence that the deceased had just started' a pick-up train for Dover, and was seen walking by its side as it passed slowly from the platform, with one hand resting on one of the trucks of the train. From some cause he stum bled and fell, rolling from the platform upon the rails, when it appears that the wheels of two carriages passed over him, causing his death within four hours of the accident. Verdict accordingly. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CITY BRIDEWELL.— Yesterday evening an inquest was taken by Mr. William Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital , on view of t he bod y of Samuel Evans, aged 15, a lad, an inmate of the House of Occupation attached to the City Bridewell, an institution established for the reclamation of juvenile crimintils, by teaching them a trade. Deceased, who was learning the duties of a seaman last Friday week, was on the steps of a ladder fixed to the shrouds of a brig, which was emn the grounds. He was about to step on the rattlings, when he missed his footing and fell on the deck, a height of feet, alighting on his head. He was picked up by Mr. Cairn, the master, who had him conveyed to the above insti . tution, where he died on Sunday last from lockjaw, the effect of the injuries received. Verdict—" Accidental death." :ANOTHER POACHING AFFRAY.—At ten o' g wounded Clock last Monday night; the Earl of Scarborough's keepers, ;en in n umber, came in contact with about forty poachers in and i Ruf sc conflict: en ford Park, Notts.

S U N e' • CHEAP OMNIBUS CONVEYANCE. .4 g On Monday evening a public meeting was held av, the Duke of Wellington, Brighton-street square, St. Pancras, for the purpose of forming a Cheap Omnibus Conveyance Association, under tbetTacrwtsm: direction of Mr. Crawford, the originator of the cheap omnibuses between Paddington and Hungerford. Mr. O'BRIEN . having been called to the chair, ex plained to the meeting the object for which they had been called together. He stated that it was proposed to form an association for the purpose of conveying passengers by omnibus on certain lines of road at further reduced fares. The Chairman then read to the meeting the different routes which had been de termined on by the committee, as also the respective fares for each route, which were as follows : To and from the Great Western Railway, Pad dington, to the Great Northern Railway, King's-cross To and from the Yorkshire S:ingo, New-road 2d. To and from Paddington, by Oxford-street, to the Bank To and from Tottenham-court-road To and from King's-cross to the Beak, and to the Brighton Railway , To and from the York and Albany to the Ele phant and Castle To and from Waterloo• bridge.. '2d. To and from Mornington-crescent, Hampstead road, to Charingeeross To and from Bernsbury-pat k to the 8ank........ 4d. To and from the Angel, Islington .. . . 2d. To and from the Flora Gardens, Bayswater, to the Regent's circus or Tottenham-court-road 2d. He then said that this would evidently be a great boon, and would, there was no doubt, be extensively patronised by the public, as no one would pay four pence for that which they could obtain for twopence ; at the same time it would be shown that the reduced fares would return a handsome profit to the proprie tors. If it were taken into consideration that so long ago as 1846 the public-spirited gentleman who was at present engaged in forming this association (he alluded to Mr. Crawford) started a number of omnibuses to ply between Hungerford and Paddington, at the re duced fares of twopence, when every article of con sumption was at least one-third, and in some instances one-half, dearer than at present ; and if they also considered, that owing to the repeal of the corn-laws there was not the slightest chance that corn would ever be subjected to the same fluctua tions in prices as it had formerly been; but that in all human probability every article of consumption would be still further reduced in price —if, with all these facts before the meeting, it were possible to run an omnibns at a twopenny fare in 1846, how much more must it be so in 1851, when the expenses must necessarily be so much less, in consequence of the reduced price of corn, hay, straw, and beans, as well as every other article of consnmption ? He also took occasion to advert to the number of omnibuses that had been called into existence during the Exhibition, and to the fact that now it was over this property must necessarily be sold at a great sacrifice, and a number of hands thrown out of employment, unless some means were devised to call them again into re quisition. The establishment of the present associa tion would present the means of doing so, and upon a basis, he had no doubt, which would be satisfactory to all parties, and thus be the means of making that pro perty available which must otherwise be sacrificed. The Chairman also pointed out to the meeting that the only way in which a reduction in the fares could be suc cessfully accomplished was by means of an association, so as to be enabled to compete with existing interests. One or two individuals could do but little against a great monopoly ; but several might—and the present, when so many omnibuses were likely to be unemployed, was the very time when such an associa tion should be formed. Of the patronage of the public there could be no doubt. That it would re munerate the proprietors would be shown to the meete ing ' • the only thing wanting, therefor e , was t h e sp i r i t and determination of a number of individuals asso ciated together for the purpose of carrying it out, and which association, if once formed, he had no doubt would be brought to a successful termination, and a handsome profit be the reward of their efforts. Mr. CRAWFORD then addressed the meeting, show• ing the practicability of the scheme, and proving from acknowledged data that considerable profits could be derived from cheap fares. He explained to the meet ing the necessary expenses upon each omnibus, and proved satisfactorily that, even under the most un favourable circumstances, considerable profits must accrue. Several omnibus proprietors having fully concurred in all that had been stated, both by the Chairman and Mr. Crawford, expressed their willingness to put on omnibuses immediately the association s h ou ld b e formed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, an adjournment took place till Monday evening next, at seven o'clock, when the rules of the association will be submitted to the meeting for iU approval. MISERIES OF AN AMERICAN EDITOR. Under this head, the editor of the Boston Post thus hits off some of the evils he is compelled to put up with in his sanctum. Lest some of our readers may be driven to look into Webster to ascertain the signification of the word terebration, we can inform them that it means the " act of boring." The editor of the Post hits some of the bores who pester him in the wise following:— An Act from an Unpublished Drama. DRAMATIS PERt.ONX—An Editor and two Bores. SCENE—Editor's Sanctum. [Enter two Bores.] First Bore—Good morning, Mr. Editor—fine day ! Editor (looking hard at his work, and scribbling furiously)—Yes, Sir, fine weather, for people who have leisure to enjoy it—but it's nothing to me, sir. Second Bore—Why, your's is the prettiest business in the world—l should like to be an editor myself. Editor—lt has its vexations, however. First Bore—Ah! indeed! What are they? Editor—Why, perhaps the worst is boles—people who worry an editor because they can't think of anything else to do. Second Bore—ls it possible. Editor—Worse than that, it's a fact. First Bore—Well that is comical. Editor—Yes—to you, perhaps—l mean to the bores— bet its confounded tragical to everybody else. Second Bore (trying to change the subject, and return ing to the weather again)—Vegetation has taken a rapid start. Editor—Yes, sir—there's a lesson for some people in that. First Bore—And the trees are beginning to leave. Editor—So they are—the trees are very reasonable in that respect—they do leave some time other. Allow me, gentlemen, to recommend their example to you as worthy of imitation. [Exeunt Bores in amazement. Editor bolts the door and falls into reverie, from which he is presently aroused by the devil's call for "copy."] THE Ho? DIITY.—A meeting was held at Hurst Green on Thursday, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of memorialising the Government to postpone the moiety of the hop duty, due in November next, for twelve months. The memorial was agreed to. In the course of the proceedings, M:. Fuller, one of the Members for Sussex, said " he would do all that lay in his power to assist in getting the postponement. He exceedingly regretted that more of the county Members were not with them. On a previous occasion they had only one of the county Members with them—Mr. Dodd, of Maidstone. .He well know that combinedthe farm with other ers,inconscei(ii,cuuenmcsetaonfeetsh, wereebl, w g n h o t in in t s h ,ery eir gr ho ea ps t , d tress; unable and t h eo t feltpay conie. hop :fident tax.thatl ve t them wa rym;n t Lo r f efore, were whollytheir duty to their poorer neighbours to memorialise the Lords of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to do something for them ; but that memorial, to be effective, must be unanimous. As for Protection, as he told them 80Dae two or three years ago, they must think nothing about get ting that back again. That, he believed, was inevitably lost to them, and they must, therefore, set about exerting them selves in another direction—namely, in getting a reduction of taxation." DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A SOLICITOR.—CORSi• derable excitement prevailed on Sunday morning, in the re tired village of Tickhill, Yorkshire, in consequence of the de termined suicide of Richard Ellison, Esq., solicitor, and chief resident of the place. It appears 'that, during the previous week, the unfortunate gentleman had been, from some un explained cause, labouring under much depression of mind, which at length assumed such an alarming appearance, that it was deemed necessary to place a strict watch on his move ments, as it was apprehended that he would make an attempt on his life. On Sunday morning he arose in apparently better spirits, and walked in the garden, accompanied as usual by his attendants. After taking exercise for some time, he contrived to elude v atchers' vigilance, and returned to the house unnoticed and alone. His absence was detected almost immediately, and an alarm was raised, which led to the discovery of his body, on the dining-room floor, quite dead. The unfortunate gentleman appears to have gone di rect to his room, and there cut his t t. .TllO3 gash inflicted was of a most frightful description, e ding from ear to ear —indeed, the head was almost separ ated from the body, b e i ng event, as the only slightly attached on the right sid n e t . ow A ar g d loom has been cast over the neighbourhood by this u deceased (who was the el dest son of John Ellison, Esq., e s teward of i g Sca e r ro b s o i r t to the neighbo u ring poor.

Thus the matter rests in the meantime. Pig Iron—Our pig iron market during the last few days has continued without alteration ; quiet, but firm, and with a Moderate amount of business doing.

VARIETY or SHAKSPERE.—I must repeat to you an opinion I have long held, that no man had ever more than one conception. Milton emptied his mind in the first part of " Paradise Lost ;" all the rest is a transcript of self. The "Odyssey" is a repetition of the " Iliad." When you have seen one (:laude, you have seen all. I can think of no exception but Shakspere ; he is always varied, never nlaagiered.... Archdeacon Fisher.
