THE NEW YORK CRYSTAL PALACE ii to be kept
open through the winter.
MR. APSLEY PELLATT AND THE CONSTITUENCY
or SOUTlllVABl.—Yesterday evening a public meeting
of the electors and non-electors of Southwark was held at the
Literary Institution, in the Borouittnroad, pursuant to an
invitation issued by Mr. Apaley Pellatt, to afford him
the opportunity of giving an explanation of his
parliamentary conduit sines • his return as member
for the borough.. Mr. Thwaites presided. Mr. Pel-
latt believed it was a novel sight in Southwark for
their member to present himself at the end of his first ses-
sion to give an 'amount of his conduct and his votes. Ha
had felt it advisable on going into parliament for the first
time, to study the forms and listen to the great men
and the numerous talented patriots there, in order
to benefit by their experience, rather than to ad-
Taming prominently views and opinions of his own.
The present government had promised them reform. It
was net for hum to say what that reform would be, but they
mast take ears that it was a re d reform, and not such a
reform as had been proposed last year by Lord John Rus-
sell. Looking at the population end wealth of Southwark,
he thought it ought to be a corporation of itself, and he
urged upon the meeting not to allow itself to be tacked to
the tail of the City of London. A vote of confidence in
Mr. Pellatt and one of thanks to the chairman concluded

the proceedings.

" WHEN TO Bow."—The Duke of Gloucester, when
, about to be installed Chancellor of the University (Cam-
bridge), anxious about his Latin, turned to the minter of
1 Trinity and said—" It's a long time, you know, since I
looked at my Latin, and perhaps I may be a little awkward :
will you tell me when I ought to bow ?" The doctor told
him if he would only attend to him, end whenever he heard
the word " princeps' (prince) in .iny of its cases, to make a
, how, he would doubtless do very well. His royal highness
did get on very well, until the orator came to speak of Galen,
1 Hippocrates, and others. as the " principes raedicorum."
