BANK OF ENGLAND.—ELECTION OF GovEl,
AND DEPUTY- GOVERNOR.—A Court of Propriet( ra was be t
this morning at ten o'clock for the election of a Goverll%
and Deputy-Governor. The only candidates were, Tnorns°b,
llankey, jun., Esq., for Governor; John Geliihrand 1:1,114
bard, Esq., for Deputy-Governor, and there is no doubt "'"
that this evening they will be declared duly elected.
A WEATHER PROPHET.—A pleasant anecdote 10
told of Partridge, the celebrated almanac-maker. In trt,
yelling on horseback into the country he stopped for his 4:4;0
ner at an inn, and afterwards called for his horse that "
might reach the next town, where he intended to sll;
"If you would take my advice, Sir," said the ostler, as re
was about to mount his horse, " you will stay where you
for the night, as you will surely be overtaken by a pelti7
rain." " Nonsense, nonsense," said the almanack-Inak_eoci
" there is sixpence for you, my honest fellow, and gu 0
afternoon to you " He proceeded on his journey, and 511,
enough he was well drenched in a heavy shower. Part
ridge was struck with the man's prediction, and being k
ways intent on the interest of his almanack, he rode bac;
on the instant, and was received by the ostler with a brow'
grin. " Well, Sir, you see I was right after all." " Yin
my lad, you have been so, and here is a crown for you, °if
I give it to you on condition that you tell me how you 10°
of this rain." "To be sure, Sir," replied the man, "
the truth is, we have an almanack in our house called
Partridge's Almanach, and the fellow is such a natorioo:
liar, that whenever be promises us a fine day we alwai'
know that it will be the direct contrary. Nowt your be"
nour, this day, the 21st of June, is put down in our alula",
neck in-doors as Settled, fine weather, no rain.' I loot!:
at that before I brought your honour's horse out, and so W"'
enabled to put you on your guard."
ADDiro.ioNs TO THE GLASS BUILDING.— Seve
respectable per ons, who had obtained admission into tb,l
building by using exhibitors' and workmen's passes, (U 1
themselves, as might have been expected during the P'""
week. in the somewhat disagreeable position of the custody
of the police, and were conducted by them to the executii
committee, the members of which, being disposed to de!,
leniently with their first offence, ordered them immediate,/
to leave the building. We understand that the most rigor'
ous measures )%ill now be adopted to prevent the admissi°:
of any person who is not actually an exhibitor or person 01
ployed in the building.

PROPOSED NEW •LITERARY INSTITUTION 11#
WESTMINSTER.—It is intended to establish a literary instial-
tion for the parishes of St. James, Westminster, St. Martin
in-the-Fields, and the adjacent districts. The Right 11°°.
T. B. Macaulay, has expressed his willingness to sell
the office of president, and the Earl of Carlisle has consents
to take the chair at a public meeting, where the subject ~
be taken into consideration.
PUGILISM IN THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.—In the
American Congress, three weeks ago, a scuffle took place bey
tween senators Stanley and Clingman, originating in casl
conversation. Clingman sprang over the desk at Stanley and
pushed him down into his seat, when others interfered
separated them. "it strikes us," says the New York Tom,
bane, " that the people of Buncombe District might find -
bet er use for Mr. Clingman than sending him to Congress,
Eminent pugilists can obtain more than eight dollars per (UV
in their regular vocation."
