nounced, says the NewYork Commercial, that the
Rev Theobald Mathew will postpone his depar-
tsre to the 9Th Of November, Mr. Collins having
kindly offered to transfer his passage ticket from

preacher of total abstinence. Since Sunday last
ten thousand persons have taken the pledge Mr.
Collins was not the only gentleman who rendered
Mr.. Mathew free passage. We learn that Mr.

six feet high, and otherwise well proportional,

presume, the left foot. He speaks with plausi-
bny and ease; is rather assuming in his address,
yet mild and humble in his manners. He is a
keen, shrewd fellow, walks fast and quite erect,
and is apt to bear uncommonly much on his toes
when hurried. He said that he originally be-
onged to farmer named Joshua Lee, near Gin
ton, IN Virginia; either there Norfolk or Rich
