We ate 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 6 speak in their own tongues the wonderful works of God." GENTLEMAN'S. Sylvanus Urban appears this month in the charac ter of a reformer, and demands a thorough reform and revision of th e 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 3i 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 iu the present state of the Prerogativceoffice, where every inquiry is hedged round with i m pedi men t s an d fees, it is quite impossible t to ascertain. There is no office in the kingdom the regulations of which are to utterly prohibitory of all literary inquiry as this. We went thither to endeavour to clear up this difficulty, and aaving paid the customary shilling fee, turned to the volume of the calendar applicable to the period 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. It was nut, 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 Hobart:' 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 already, and were informed that an extra fee was pay able on the sight of every third. But those we have seen already,' wo 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 cot 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 difference. 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 theme 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 further contingent fees 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 it will be 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 decuments 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. " 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 ar.d 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 more 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 SIIIPPIN G.—( THIS DAY.)

Know yo the town where policemen end navvies, Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime! Where the noise cf 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 kiue, 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 poiish their fipples and all other fruit, And the voice of the muffin-man never is mute? An itinerant preacher, who rambled in his sermons, when requested to stick to his text, replied," that scattering shot would hit the most birds." A CRIMINAL CASE IN TEXAS.—At a late trial, somewhere in Texas, the defendant, who was not familiar with the multitude of worth: 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 'ere allegator knows it." Where the tints of your nese, and the chimney-pot high, In colour not varied with blackness may vio, And the soot that falls on you is deepest in dye?

BETTING UP TO SIX O'CLOCK. CIMBRIDGEiHIRE. Sin,—The Grand Duclw with young hiett up, in a spin for the 5 sovs. Stakes opened the day's sport with 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 htr lead throughout, and won a splendid race into Nat on Sardanapalus, by a neck, Butler, on the Exotic filly, being only a long neck behind. In the spurt for the Royal Stakes, Norman, on Midas, jumped cif with a :.tiff lead at starting, Harpsichord laying second, and Ariosto third ; they travelled in this order to the leseent from the bushes, where Ariosto crept into the recond piece, and, chellengieg Midas a dez.-3n etrides from the chair, won easy by a length. The next etalte 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. The 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 P 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, stezred admirably by Steggles, cleared the field, i and won rather easily by two lengths; Barcelona, who had looked well for three parts of the race, beating Candlewick four lengths for second place, the latter a length a head o f Hi ppo l ytus; 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 conoidered that he gave three years for one pound difference in weight. I believe this is the first time Mr. Bevill 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 fow instances taken. It is generally believed that 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 stiffly. 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 gettin g a lit t l e t h e b est 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, 81b 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 Letting 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 Ileriot, however, has advanced to 12 to 1, Candlewick to 13 to 1, Prime Minister to 14 to 1, and Beebe 25 to 1. 10 to 1 agst Curl 12 to 1 agst Heriot 13 to 1 agst Candlewick 25 to 1 agst Breba 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.

MONDAY NlGHT.—SpeCtlifttOrB 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, became a very prominent favourite; Sauter ta-Coupe also advanced several points, and 20 to 1 was the extreme laying price against Candlewick, Westow, and The Italian.

It is not surprising, therefore, that the assemblage on the heath this afternoon, although very large, was less than usual, both in number and gra de, or that there was little of the excitement we have so often witnessed on Cesarewitch gatherings.

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 weath e r 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 let 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-riainded 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 burihen of which was to tease their papas and mamas to buy them the Bloomer costume, in which they would be ably 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 he 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.) Redid 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 HOW, 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 hadeed.—(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 EDINBUROII.—On Thursday evening a young woman was perceived walking along Nicholson -street, dressed in the most fantastic style of,the Bloomer costume. Her appearance soon at• traoted 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.—Salurday Evening Post. HUNTING A BLoomm.—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 Bosjeman 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 bands "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, un der the protec tion of a policeman, esc or t e d to her home by several of her most energetic admirers. However unsuited to our English denies the new costume may be con sidered, there can be no doubt 'that it admirably ac• Icords with the less civilised tastes. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. TUE CAPUT.

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 visik,rs 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 Lit tit, General, and again marched past at quick time to bar racks.

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 roiled 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 k erture 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 broke 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,wh skull Y as standing at the head of the dock, and fractured_ histo a great extent. He was immediately takend to Bide expired Melville Hos pital; but consciousness never returned , an 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 Erith, 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 All en , 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 Botting 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.

On Monday evening a public meeting was held at the Duke of Wellington, Brighton-street, Argyle square, St. Pancras, for the purpose of forming a Cheap Omnibus Conveyance Association, under the direction of Mr. Crawford, the originator of the cheap omnibuses between Paddington and Hunkerforcl. Mr. O'BnIN having been called to the chair, ex plained to the2meeting 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-cress To and from thr Yorlibire Sting-o, New-rood.. 2d. To and fr - .n.: Paddington, by thiford-street, to the B .t.ll To and nom Totrenbara-court-road To and from King's-cross to the Bank, and to the Brighton Railway Tu and from the Yor . and Albany to the Ele phant and Castle To and from Waterloo bridge To and from Mornington-crescent, Hampstead road, to Charing cross ............ To and from BArnsbary-atk to :tie 8ank........ 4d. Tu and fr o m th e A nge l, Islington .. .. 2d. To and from the Flora Gardens, Bayswater, to the Regent's- circus or Tottenham-court-road 2d. He than 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 informing this association (he alluded to Mr. Crawford) started a number of omnibuses to ply between Hungerford and Paddington, at the re duced fares of twope nce , w h en every art i cle of con sumption was at least one-third, and in some instances one-ball, dearer th an a t present ; and if they also considered, that owing to the repeal of the corn-laws there was not the slightest chance that corn would in ever be subject e d t o the same fluctua tions prices a s it h a d 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 omnibus at a twop enny f are i n 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, st raw , an d beans, as well as every other article of consumption ? He also took occasion to advert to the number of omnibuses that had hem called into existence during th e E x hibi t i on, 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 d ou bt, w hi c h 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 areduction in the fares could be suc cessfully ac comp li s h e d was b y 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 meet ing ; the only thing wanting, therefore, was the spirit 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 profit., 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 should be 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 its approval. MISERIES OF AN AMERICAN EDITOR. Under this bead, the editor of the Boston Post thus hits off some of the evils he is compelled to put up with in his sanctum. Lcst some of our readers may be driven to look into Webster to ascertain the signification of the word ter eln ation, we can inform them that it means the "act of boring." The editor of tho Post hits some of the bores who rester him in the wive following:— An Act from an Unpublished Dra:na. DRAMATIS PERtON.E—An Editor and two Bores. SCENE—Editor's Sanctum. [Eutkr two Bores.] First Bore—Good morning, Mr. Editor—fine day!

Second Bore—Why, your's is tho 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 bores—people who worry an editor because they can't think of anything else to do. Second Bore—ls it possible. Editor—Worse than that, its a fact. First Bore—Well that is comical. Editor—Yes—to you, perhaps—l mean to the bores — but 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.

DETERMINED SUICID E OF A SOLlClTOR.—Consi derable excitement prevailed on Sunday morning, in the re tired village of Tickhill, Yorkshire, in consequence of the de termined suicide of Ri c h ar d 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 atteunpt on his life. On Sunday morning he arose in appeferZ s better spirits, and walked in the garden, accompalue_t_ ' usual by his attendants. After taking exercise for some he contrived to elude kis watcher? v i g il anc e, and return ed to the house unnoticed and alone.

GLASGOW, OCT. 11.--Cotton—ln wool we have had a quiet week, but prices are unchanged. Middling Orleans may be quoted 4%d. per lb. Less has been doing in yarns and goods, and a :mall concession has been made on certain birds of yarns. The dulness has been aggravated by a dispute between the masters and operative spinners, which threatens to end in a general strike. It appears that the operatives demand a rise of 10 per cent., and with this view have begun what is termed a " sectional strike ;" and the workers have already been withdrawn from one mill in the city and another in the country. Meanwhile the mas ters have held a meeting, and resolved that if the operatives in these two mills do not return to their work they will close all the other mills in the district on Monday, and make the strike general. Thus the matter rests in the meantime. Pig lion—Our pig iron market during the last few days. has continued without alteration; quiet, but firm, and wan' moderate amount of business doing.
