A VOICE FROM AN OLD CLOTHES SHoP-We
are very much gratifed in perceiving by notice In
one OF the small papers that M. M. Noah, formerly
an editor in this city of celebrity, is still alive
and is endeavoring, with laudable ambition, to
make little noise in the world before he closes his
mortal career. Not having heard much of him
of late we supposed he had been buried amongst old
clo', or had been slumbering amongst the dead.
But it seems he is actually still alive and kicking.
He intends, we understand, to get up a Conven-
tion-not "World's Convention'-nor an " In
dustral Convention"-nor i" Musical Conven-
tion"-but Native Convention" of all native edi-
tors to meet somewhere in this State for the pur-
pose OF adopting resolutions to effect the exclusion
OF all foreign editors, reporters, and newspaper pro-
pretors. According to the most recent accounts, il
seems that large proportion of the independent
press OF this country, is managed by persons born
IN other andsand that editors, reporters, and new
paper propnetors from abroad are in an alarming
majority when compared with the "Natives" sold
clo'" thinks this highly dangerous Hence his
patriotic effort.
This Is the latest native movement that we have
seen, and we think il possesses within itself the
means of victory equal even to those possessed by
the I" Worlds Convention" As soon as this new
have no doubt that all these foreign editors, and re-
porters, and propreors, who connected with the
newspaper press, any other printing establishment,
will be annihilated and never more appear on the
face OF the earth-just going out like the Tag
end of farthing candle We trust that in addition
to this, measures may be taken to prevent any per-
son who was not born in some particular locality,
from thinking at all, or talking, even eating On
the whele, twoud be well to restrict the right of
writing thinking, talking, and especially publishing
newspapers to small and select acliqse as possible
if composed Of old clo' men exclusively, so much
the better. These are great times for reform and
conventions, and all great movements in the way of
ameliorating the human race and bringing about the
millennium.
Noah once thought he had found the millennium on
Grand Island, and made speech to the world &C.
cordingly. But il seems that he then made slight
mlstake-a small miscalculation. Now, however, he
has hit on State Convention In the meantime,
the poor old man will be glad to write at the rate of
penny line for any newspaper proprietor, foreign
or native, who may be charitable enough to employ
him and pay him in advance
The WORLDS CONVENTION. sessions OF this
extraordinary omnium gatherMn body are drawing
to close. From the character of the proceedings,
the character of the members, the character of the
whole affair, we should imagine that instead of
being the commencement Of great period Of supe-
nor civilization 1t Is rather alarming sign Of the
approach OF the end of the world-the utter annihi
lation OF all common sense and decency, and the
reign OF universal anarchy, disorder and madness
a second chaos
The composition of the Convention has been as
heterogeneous as its plans for the amelioration of
the human race. All sorts of "reformers" have
been there, and all sorts of "pans" have been in
Observation-Disclosures as the coats of some of their
authors, and equivocal as the reputation of others
Resolutions have been introduced disposing in the
most summary manner Of regon-ohers for the
liberation OF Babe, the pirate-others for the par
don OF Dr. Boughton, ALIAS "BIg Thunder"-and
probably before the Convention breaks up, a project
will be announced for emptying all the jails and lu-
matte asylums in the country, and recognising their
emancpated inmates as the only civilized persons
on earth. In fact, the Convention appears to be
collection of voluntary unatics, assembled together
by accident and who will never rest until thew are
comfortably settled in some safe and commodious
lunatic asylum.
RELIGIOUS lNTELLIGENCE.-Dr.R Ryder, the celebra-
ted President OF the Catholic Seminary at George
town, District of Columbia, who has Just returned
from Europe, is now in this city, we believe; but
whether he will preach before he leaves the metro
polls, we do not know. He is on his way q Wor-
cester, Massachusetts, where splendid Catholic
College has been erected within the last two or
three years, and which, we are inclined to think,
will be the most complete institution OF the kind in
the United States. DIR. Ryders long experience in
the Presidency of Georgetown College, will un.
doubleday qualify him in most eminent degree for
the efficient discharge of his functions in the new
sphere OF usefulness to which he has been called
by his ecclesiastical superiors
The URUGUAY.-We have received letter from
Montevldeo of the 9th of August, which states that
French and English men of war were to be de-
spatched up the Uruguay to convoy number Of
merchant vessels. 1t was thought that this was a
fererunner to the resumption of commercial trans.

LA SoRTIE Du BAIN.-This chaste and beautiful

Society Library Rooms. II is seen to the best adj
vantage In the evening

TRorTING ON THE BEACON COURSE, HoBoKEN.-

sequence of the unfavorable state Of the weather.
CRIcKET.-The Toronto Club of Canada is out
with challenge to the st. Georges of this city, to
play couple of games on the ground of the former
during the present month. They state it is not the
practice OF the T. G.. c. to play cricket for monev
but as an inducement to the st. Georges Club and
