ANTIQUITY - THE PoLxA.-The
descrlp,,sn of the lavoln 10 SIR John
Davies's poem on dancing, the "Orches-
re," Q5o6,) shows that IT must have
closely resenbled the dance which we
iondy boast oi as one OF the great i'll
veb,ons oil The nineteenth century. 1t
runs as follows:
" Yet is there one, the most delightful kind,
A loity jumping, or leapins round,
Where arm and arm TO dancers are entwined,
And whrl themselves with snict endorsements
bound
Aud still their feet an anaTest do sound
An Anal est is all their masic sopg,
Whose first two feet are short, aud third 10
long"
The an,rest' is conclusive F; il
points xactly 10 the pecuii"' nature of
the polka, the pause oi, ,he third step.
Moreover. il appears that there lie no
especial figure Tor The polka, go there
was none Tor the lavol,a, for II is cIassed
am ong those dances:
"W herein that dancer greater praise has won,
Which, With best order, can all orders shun;
For everywhere he ~antonly mus, range,
And turn and wind with unexpected change"
Who can doubt after that 7 The
polka was certainly danced before

DENT II has been stated that in Con-
necticut no law exists by which the
frien.s of persons killed by railroad
accident can recover damages. This,
il appears, is IA mistake. a statute was
framed in the session OF lS4S. which
provides that actions for injury to The
person. phether such injury result IN
death or MOI, shall survive 10 the execu-
tor or administrator, provid d that rot
more than one year eiapse between the
injury and death, and provided also the

The Har lord Times is informed that
one suit has already been commenced
by the surviving relatives Of u" eminen,
deceased physician Tor $4,000, and
another by ,he friends OF one o! the de-
deceased Boston passengers for $780,
600. Il New York The damages in
such cases are limited by statute TO
$4,000. There is no limitation in Con-
necticut.
We have heard il stated tha, the

D The meeting of the ciT:sns riih-

night. Henry Bull, ESQ. was chosen
Chairman, and Mr.. Thomas Cogbe-
shall, Secretary. The Hon. Robcr, B.
Cransion, and Rev. A. II. Dumoni were
nominated as candidates for Mayor.
Various motions and sugges,u ne were
made, aud DISPOSED Of IN different ways
when n hand vote MAS taken on lie two
nominees. The house was badly light
ed and ol course il wns Gt!iculi Tor the
Chairman 10 see; ~. stated that as lar
as he could observe The hands there
were S5 for MIR. Cransion and 81 for
Mir Dum1nt but no result was declared
and no candidate WAS nominated. An
effort was made by Mr. Stephen Z. Sic
cum, "A no party mdn,--,o declare the
nomination OF Mr.. Dumont unanimous
tui motion 10 adjourn being made,
and taking precedence, The meeting was
adjourned. The plainl truth Of t,e
whole matter ia, The meeting was ii
Democratic one, Gov. Gibbs standing
God father for it, and Mcssrs. G Tur-
ner, S. w. Aleer, G.. II. Calvert, 5. Z.
Slocum, Daniel L. Swinburne, George
Howland. and other prominent Demo
crats officiating an the leaders and main
.pokesmen in The operation.
In pnsting the vote, the Chairman re-
aucsted all who were IN favor Of MIR.
CIans,on, TO hold up their hands; and
then he requested those in favor oi Mr..
Dumont and all Others, TO hold up their
honds this was done, conse quent'
" the 90 votes were for Mr.. Dumont
and all others.
The Ch .irnan was evidently glad 10
get out Of a bad scrape, having been in
volved in little more than he bargain
cd for. The meeting was a perfect
farce and ended where i, commenced, in
---nnthing, just o,hipg.
We observed a, the meeting num-
Der Of Democrats who have professedly
been very earnes, in their desires, since
the adoption OF the Charter, that there
should he no party spirit manifested IN
the orgauiz ,tion OF the government
but they were as fierce as possible last
evening for their candidate, Mr.. Dumont.
Poor Mr.. Turner, We really pity his ig-
norance IN one respect he was as in
noceut as lamb he did not know the
politics Of Mr.. Dumont . tempera, .
mores! Mr.. Calvert, an Ultra Demo-
craf, was in favor Of MIR. Dumont be-
cause he was an accomplished scholar,
and a voluntary Mechanic, and could
receive Governors, Foreign Ministers,
&c. when they came in the summer
Well, we have witnessed some funny
scenes in our day, but in point Of the
arblimely ridiculous and fnrcical, this
meeting, "withou, distinction OF party"
immessurably exceeded anything which
we ever saw before, or ever exI ect TO
enjoy again.

On motion RI Oliver Read, Esq, the
Hon. RosssT b. CGAssToN was unsni-

things he stated that The Hon. Robert

Of the City, even II he coaid have IL ny
the unanimous vote oi the ircemen. lie
had been urged by Il very large number
Of treemen. since the adoption oi the
Charter, TO become a candidate for the
Office, Ut he had universally declared
that he was unwilling 10 allow the use
of his name for the Office, feeling, as he
did. that the duties o.. the same, parlica
larry during the fret yecr, would be ex-
csedlngly onerous, = and although he
admitted that !t WAS tie duty Of every
good citizen to do his par, in bearing
the burdens OF the gov .rnmeni, ieyond
the mere payment oil his Taxes, yet he
felt that tl,is burden Ot Office would be
too severe Tor one oi his years, who for
some time past Ind been accustomed to
the ease Of quiet and peaceful life. MIR.
Crans,on stated that he made these re-
marks both in justice TO the nominee and
also to the meeting he further stated
that a false impression had been Great
ed in regard TO the organization Of the
yovernment,--ihat some OG the Den o.
Gratis had proicssed a desire to have no
manifestation OF party spirit,-that for
one he should be glad if this could be
done, but that it was impossible for

was always necessarily party spirit,rom

ever ready TO make capital I; and al
though he had great respect for many
members oI the party, yet he knew that,
politically, they were not TO be trusted
in their professions in favor OF a a no
party organization. After making 9TH
er remarks, Mr.. Crans,on moved that a
committee OF TWO be appointed for the
purpose Of calling another meeting, il il
should be necessary the motion pre-
vailed, and Messrs. Oliver Read and
Seth w. Macy were elected for that
purpose.
The meeting then adjourned.

GTIt will be remembered that the

that was its first exhibition. In the
Cattle department., it was admitted by
number present, who had attended sew
eral similar Fairs, that season in differ
cnt parts OF the country, ,ha, the Aqud-
neck Society far exceeded them all
Inspired by success then. the Society
has de tcrnined TO purchase five or Elk
acres Of ground in a central loc alton, and
to erect a suitable building for the pur-
pose OF holding their exhibitions, the i'll
dustrial and mechanical portion OF
which will be quite extensive. In order
TO carry out their plans on a sufficiently
large scale to make the objects OF the
Society valuable an well as interesting,
aid will he needed from the people Of
Newpor, and elsewhere. Quite large
amoun, Of money has already been sub
scrbed and we hope that others will
become interested in this good cause,
aad contribute towards the required
fund,-smal! as well as large amounts
will be very acceptable. There is MOTH

WEBSTER AND Wiar.-There is
peculiar and striking difference between
the English and lrish statesman. The
former uses The flowers OF rhetoric and
power OF logic ouiy 10 convey great
practical t,uih H. IA foundation tor oraio'

ever uttered by an English statesman,

was ever uttered by sn Irlsh patriot,
was upon the abstract righis and wo.s
OF Irciaud.
The difference alluded to syis's in

foundation to the turret. All was

There was no laut. or bieInsh, or

sumption, 10 mar the effect o that eAqui
site harmony which, blending with the
incl 10y w nc 1Ciiius,
beautiful and dramatic which he touch
ed. he finished as he fashioned he
poll he'd as he progrr-saI. The edItice

Webster, like a great giant. engaged
in the construction Of his castle, WIN
his massive and gigantic mind, would
place, now there, q huge block OF
ungainIy granite. The foundation 10
rough gre II masses OF thought are
thrown roughly on the earth, as IL ny
chaos. And 80 the buildings grows, at
first rude, then gloomy, until in the
widest grandeur Of nature, it overawes
and subdues the mind. The edfice Of
Wirt is like temples of ancient Grecian
graves. The monuments Of Webster
like the pyramids. In departing years
the former with oil their gracelulness
are lost in The distance. The latter IN
their subimny seem TO grow. more
sublime, as their outlines strike the sky.
The language OF Wri, moved The

Of Webster sank into the heart and
memories Of mankind, stirring them 10
