ORATORICAL STATISTICE3.-At the meeting-of the Select
Vestry, on Tuesday last, one member, whose loquacity is
proverbial, made no fewer than 115 speerhes !! ! The
subjects descanted upon were various, and comprised reh-

his exalted genius on the common topics of oakum and
iron bedsteads. The meeting lasted about two hours, and
as a portion of the time was occupied 'by other speakers,
though less gifted with the eaeoethes loquendi than the
indefatigable member alluded to, it is•cvldent that he must
have made ample use of his opportunities for oratorical
display. Few if any of the most practised parliamentary
debaters could boast the formidable total of 115 orations
delivered within such a brief space of time. Such an eiTort
in this age of progress may•not unaptly be termed "rail-
way oratory." The following is a: tabulated statement of

NEW PUBLIC MEETING ROC.IIB.—A very neat building
has just been erected in ilackin's-hey, which has had the
effect of materially improving the aspect of that street,
and which is intended to supf3ly a deficiency that has been
long felt. The builders are Messrs. Arthur and George ,
Holme, and the edifice, which is situate on the west side
of the street, possesses, bobh externally and internally,
considerable architectural attractions. The main object •
of the promoters is to afford to -the various established cha-
ritable institutions of the tom) accommodation for hold-
ing meetings for the transae.iion of business. The build-
ing has a very spacious entrance, and four or five persons
abreast may comfortably ascend the stairs. On the first
floor there are four rooms, intended for offices, and
which are so constructed that they may be let off sepa-
rately or together. Upon the second floor there is the
principal room, intended for :public meetings, with a gal-
lery three-fourths round, -,-very neatly and comfortably
fitted up, and well ventilated and lighted. Attioining this
there is another room, suitdble for the meeting of any
public body. There is also ,a large room on the third
floor, suitable for a sale or sampling apartment, and in the
construction of which a novelty has been introduced, that
of having a clear northlight by means of windows similar
to those that light cotton.weaving sheds, and upon the
same principle that is adopted to light the indigo sale-room.
in Mincing-lane, London. 'Water-closets and other con-
veniences are also ecmnecteil.with the building. Its im-
.

mediate contiguity to the principal business of the town
must render the edifice very-valuable to charitable societie
and others.
