The .MiLerites.-A part of these unlortu-
nate and misguided people pitched their tents
on Monday in a field about three miles and
half from The Permanent bridge. The con-
veris continued increasing in the encampment
all that day and night, males and females, some
in omnibuses, carriages and on foot. Some Of
them threw away their property, as they went
along, into the street. The first tent became
so crowded that the children were forced into
the open air, without the proper care Of their
parents. These little ones were exposed TO the
pelting of the piiess storm. Numbers Of these
poor children were running about the field, cry
ing for their mothers and fathers, and some
even for food.
Tuesday morning second tent was erected,
and the numbers had increased very greatly
The condition of these people is indeed any
thing but comfortable, and it must become
worse from the want OF proper food and other
necessares of life, besides sleeping on the damp
ground in this incement season of the year,
with scarcely enough clothing TO cover them.
II is feared that numbers will never leave the
| ground, and those that do leave il, will do so
with scarce hope Of recovery. Parties have
also gone into New Jersey, and there are sew
eral tents at different points within ten miles
of Philadelphia. The report was current yes

the capacity of principal treasurer, had precip-
itatey left the city, with funds amounting TO
over $l909.-Phiia. Ledger, Oct. %.
We learn from the Boston Post that Mrs
Abigail Shepherd, young married woman,
was on Tuesday committed TO the Insane Hos
pital, Worcester, being furiously mad, caused
by her attendance at MIerite meetings: She
was committed on warrant from the NJ unci-
pal Court. A man at South Boston sat all yes
terday on his wile's grave, for the purpose Of
ascending with her.-Spring. Rep, Oct. 25.
The Polk and Birney Coalition. Quin-
cy, editor of the N. Y. Ant-Slavery Standard,
thus speaks of the evident coalition between
the abolition and locoIoco parties:
| James G.. Birney-I have once before ven
tured TO predict that the end of the Liberty
Party would be in coalition with potion of
the Democratic party. The sooner il is done,
the better, for il will besndeed its end. There
cannot, in the nature of things, be but two
great parties in this Republic, and under our
present constitution, il is also in the nature of
things that they should both he pro-slavery.-
The honest men in the Liberty party will soon
find their leaders at the old game of transfer-
ring, and themselves up for the bids Of the
South.
The question now arises, says the Hudson
Republican, will the Wing Aboliionsts allow
themselves 10 be sold, body and breeches,' by
James G. Birney, like cattle in the market?-
We shall see.
Railroad Conuention.-A convention OF the
friends OF railroad between Miller's river and

last. After the organization Of the convention,
and the reading OF the report OF the Executive
Committee, the profile report and estimates for
a railroad between Hockanum and Mer's riv-
err, by Waldo Higginson, Esq. Engineer, were
presented. We learn from the report that the
whole distance is 1892 miles, seventeen OF
which are straight, and ten level. The expe-
rienced Engineer SAYS the line, independent OF
the crossing OF Miller's river, affords as much
cheapness of construction as any, so far as my
knowledge extends, yet built upon in New
England After acting upon various matters
of business, the convention adjourned TO meet
at such time and place as may be designated by
the Executive Committee.
