CATLIN'S AMERICAN EXHIBI-
TION—THE lOWAY INDIANS.
It might very reasonably be asked has all the
world mistaken the season ? Or has all the world
resolved to stay in town for the judges' decision on
the Irish appeal, and to anticipate even The Sun ex-
press on that important occasion ? Whatever may be
the answer to these interesting questions, one thing is
certain, that the exhibitions of science and art were
never known to be so fully attended at this advanced
period of the year as they are now. The fourteen
loway Indians had yesterday a most crowded levee in
Mr. Catlin's Indian Gallery, at the Egyptian Hal!.
This exceedingly picturesque group, with their shorn
and crested heads, tasteful, though wild, cos-
tume, and plaited scalp-lock, presented a spectacle of
the deepest interest, and we heard more than one per-
son sighingly express a hope that however rapid may
be the decline of this noble race of men, their extinc-
tion is not so certain as their patron apprehends.
This party is composed of the most influential men of
the tribe, and may be regarded as a sort of delegation
from the red men, with the express permission of the
American President, to exhibit to Europe the last
remnant of that important branch of the human family
which European aggression is rapidly extinguishing.
Of the seven men who compose this party, three are
chiefs, one of them (White Cloud), the first and he-
reditary chief, being six feet six inches high, and a
remarkably handsome man. None of the other war-
riors are less than six feet high. They are also of
muscular and robust make, except in the arms, which
are exceedingly slender, the biceps muscle especially
being very poorly developed. Their war and other
dances, songs, games, Sic., were exhibited with great
spirit, and called forth repeated expressions of surprise
and satisfaction from their numerous visitors. The
boy ten years old, and little Papoose (who, by the
way, was most amusingly sleepy) attracted, with the
sedate and patient-looking squaws, perhaps quite as
much attention as the warriors. We should have said
that the exhibition was prefaced by an instructive and
really eloquent lecture from Mr. Catlin, who was
warmly applauded.

ERRATUM.—in a paragraph relative to the floods
on the continent, which appeared in The Sun of yester-
day, under the head of " Foreign Summary," the words
"in Poland " were omitted.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE RIVER
QUEEN.—On Wednesday afternoon, an accident of a
frightful character took place on board the River Queen
upon her voyage to Ipswich from Walton-on-the-Naze,
in Essex. It appears that the vessel, as usual upon days
when she takes an " Excursion," had a crowded deck
and cabin, and some parties to avoid the crush went
down into the engine room, open under the permission
of the engineer. Among these were Captain Robert
Resker, of the Zephyr brig, belonging to this port, his
wife, and several other persons. Resker afterwards
came on deck and sat upon the hatches connected with
the light above the engine room. From this position he
was seen to rise, and then suddenly to fall backwards
through an opening upon the engine, within the works
of which he was caught, and though the engineer, prompt
at his post, stopped the way of the boat immediately, the
unfortunate man was crushed to death in an instant.—
Suffolk Chronicle.
MATCH AGAINST TINIE.-011 Thursday afternoon
a match for fifty guineas took place on the Essex-road.
Mr. Adam Preston undertook for the above sum (the
money having been put down by a friend of the rider) to
ride five miles in fifteen minutes, i. e. three miles out and
two miles in, to be allowed one minute for turning. The
distance to be from Whipeross to the White Hart,
Woodford, then to turn, and back to the two-mile stone
The parties met at the Salmon and Ball, Bethnal-green,
when the worthy host, Mr. Lord, proceeded with them
to take time; and, as he was the acceptor of the wager,
lie not only took the time but the money, as the rider
broke down in the first two miles.
LEICESTER STATE OF TRADE.—There is a fair de-
mand for all kinds of hosiery gloves and fancy goods.
Prices remain firm, with a tendency to advance. The
workmen in all branches are fully employed.—Leicester-
shire Mercury.
