FREE VERsIoN OF TIKI BIgLE.--Thc Governor
of Texas, in his late proclamation for Thanksgiving,
gives the following quotation from the Bible, which
may be new to some, il not all Of our readers:
"In the beautiful and expressive language Of the
Bible: The ,oinfer Of our disconfenfis gone: the
rain is over and past the time Of the springing Of
flowers is past, and the voice Of the turtle is heard
in our land.'
We have heard of a practice which is said TO pre-
vail before justices Of The peace in the rural dis
tricts," where Bibles are scarce, of swearing wit
ncsses the next best book TO the Bible which is at
hand. The recollection Of this usage suggests to
us the suspicion that Governor Bell has been obliged
to promote the works Of Shakespeare to the place in
his library which the Bible ought to occupy. We
commend his case to the Bible Society, one call
ing for immediate relief.
Il lie shocking to think Of the Governor Of soy-
crcgn State being in such destitute condition a.
to be obliged to exc out a half-remembered SEN
tcncc from the Scriptures with soliloquy from the
humpbacked aud murdsrous Glostcr.-New Yovk

OitNInus DRvERs.--Major Noah, in late article
on omnibuses, gives the following description OF
the drivers:
"With omnibuses we have new and import ant
functionary, certainly unknown in America twenty
years agothc driver. He is creation Of the spirit
OF improvement, made expressly for the ctys ease,
and we like to see him start voyage of specula-
ton and discovery in town. Stretching up his
hind, he describes portly customer who has just
waddlcd from.a restaurant, who mods his head
to the drivers invitation of Ride Up? and in
he goes. Elevating his arm, tipped with his
index by way of signal, he arrests the atten-
ton Of another. With air of success, changing
his position, he gances inquiringly up and down
the cross streets, and spies pedestrian at distance
whose patronage he is ambitious TO He waits
patiently until he comes near, when significant
shake the head informs him that he does not intend
to ride. The driver betrays symptom of disap-
cracks his whip, bowling to one, nodding to an
other, and looking inviingly to another, until he
is said to be full, which seldom occurs, as he al
ways doubts the fact. There are three periods in
the day when the driver feels his helm-from eight
to nine in the morning, from three TO four in the
afternoon, and from ten to eleven at night, when
folks are leaving the theatre. Then speed is his
object, and passengers must hail him and leap in
without delay Now fearlcssly he dashcs in among
variety OF vehicles, samming this and banging
that! How nicely he sometimes threads his way
amidst an avalanche of cabs, coaches and carts,
without tho least danger And if it rains, how
unceremoniousy he tumblcs in his passengers, fif-
teen to the dozen, always appealing TO the polite
ncss of the company to find room for lady, who
turns out to be fat market woman with n
basket"

A LARGE BuILDER.-A New York paper says that
William B. Astor esq, has contracted for the

houses principally Fortieth street and vicinity
and between Eighth and Ninth avenues. This is

the United States. Surprising each house to cost
five thousand dollars, and "first-class tenement

price, the contract amounts to three-quartcrs Of
