The kNICKERBoCKER GALLERY.-The papers
announce the early publication Of this elegant
work, by subscription. We have before al
luded to it and its character 1t is designed
as complimentary offering to Lewis Gaylord
Clark, the honored and able editor of the
Knickerbocker Magazine for the last twenty
years. 1t is to consist of the contributions of
the eminent literary friends and correspond
ents of Mr.. Clark, and it is to be illustrated by
their portraits, executed in the first style of art
New York contemporary, who has seen
some of the proofsheets and several of the en-
cravings, says that the book will be one of
unusual beauty" 1t will be sold by subscrip.
ton only. We commend it to the attention of
all our readers who would secure unique
volume filed with the writings, and illustrated
by the portraits, of some of the most eminent
authors in America.
Among those who are announced as con-
tributors, and whose portraits will be given, are
Washington Irving, William Cullen Bryant,
Fitz Greene Halleck, Nathaniel p Willis, Rev.
George w. Bethune, d. D., Hon. VIM. a. Sc
ward, George William Curtis, Donald g.
Mitchell, Henry w. Longfellow, George Lunt,
Rev. Frederick W. Shelton, DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, NJ. Legare, William Pitt Palmer,
Charles F. Briggs Henry B. Schoolcraf, R. H.
Stoddard, Theodore S. Fay, ]. Russell Lowell,
Henry t. Tuckerman, Geo. d. Prentice,
Samuel S. Cox, Frederick S. Cozzens, James
| t. Fields.
| We are most sorry to hear that the long and
arduous labors of Mr.. Clark, have been COM
paratively illrequited; but it must be his con-
ISOLATION to know that the multitude of his
friend fully believe that had he had his deserts,
he would now be as rich in gold as he is rich
in their love and esteem. In due time, "Tbe
Kickerbocker Gallery will be submitted to our
readers, by authorized agents May we hope
that they will stake copy both for the
merits Of the work itself and for the sake of
him in whose honor it has been collected.

ing has always been strongest, shows that there
has been great falling off from the new order.
The Wing gains in Ohio and Indiana can
only be attributed to the causes which operated
in Pennsylvania. The Democracy was de-
ieated in those States, but ii was not defeated
BY the Wings nor by the Freesoilers, nor by
the Abolitionists, nor by the Know-nothings,
but by combination Of them al. Such q
combination cannot last long. 1t must soon
fall to pieces from the natural and neces.
sary effects of the selfish motives which insti
gated its formation. True, much mischief NAV
be effected in the meantime, but we can bear
it easily if it have the effect of teaching Demo.
Gratis the danger Of entering new organizations
under the impulse Of dissatisfaction and resent
ment, and that the party must be sustained in
spite of temporary discouragements--and if ii
teaches Southern Wings the dangers which
must follow if they do not sustain the Democ,
racy of the North against the banded factions
and cease the war on the Democracy Of the
South, which gives encouragement to the anti
slavery crusaders from beyond Mason and
Dixon's line.

A Mas AMOgc THE WoMEN.n-A remarka-
bic trial cane oft lately in Orange county, New
lork, ahrrsin n man named Ringland was
plaintiff, and certain brethren of the Methodist
persuasion were defendants. The suit was in
slitaicl BY the plaintiff TO recover damages from
defendants Cor pitching eaid plaintiff out of
meeting. The facts were these in brief: Ring
land, IN company with his wife, and another
female friend, went 20 an evening prayer meet
ing n the Methodist church at Gardentown,
and took his seat in the rear Of the room by the
side Of his wife and friend. An ancient custom
Ia that church forbids males and females from
sitting together during service, and soon it was
circulated through the congregation that "a
man was among the women The plaintiff
wns requested 10 20 on the mans side,r but
be remained seated. One of the trustees-af
Ger the plaintiff had explained that il was his
wont 10 st by his wife--consented that he
might keep his seat, provided he would behave
himself aud keep quiet. Other members how
ever, protested against such infraction Of their
iime-hononed rule, and five Of them insisted
that the plaintiff must Ego 10 the other side,n
or 20 out Of church. The plaintiff would not
leave the women, and thereupon commenced a
free tight Two defendants each grasped
leg, another two each seized an arm, and an.
other carried the head. The plaintiff squirmed
and kicked, the defendants tugged and pulled,
and the men and women got thoroughly mixed
up, and the lights were extinguisbed, the stove
and pipe tnmbled down, the plaintiff was car
ried out feet foremost" and the defendants
were decreed To- pay ISL for an assault and
battery. But the man stuck 10 the women.

The BABY CoSvENTIoN.-FANSY FERNS
LETTRR-Among the proceedings at the baby
fair, at Springfield, Illinois, the Cincinnati
Times publishes the following characteristic,
and neat epistle from Fanny Fern:
New YORK, Sept 20, 1854.
Mr.. J. PAST, Sir In thanking you for the
compliment paid me, by constituting me one
Of the committee to award the premiums at
the Baby Convention, / would also express my
deep regret that my present engagements will
not admit Of my leaving New York. Nothing
would delight me more than TO visit your
beautiful city, which ] have so long wished to
see, and the added temptation you hold out, in
the shape Of babies, is almost irresistible. God
bless their little sweetness But how could |
choose? /, who love everything in the shape
Of child, who believe that they are all who
are left TO us of Eden, who never come into
their presence without feeling such devout
Catholic must have when he crosses himself
before the image Of the Virgin Mary How
could / choose? / should turn from black
eyes TO blue, from blue eyes 10 gray, from gray
70 hazel ] should be led captive by a dimple
fascinated by ringlet, enchanted by rosy
cheek OF snowy shoulder. My dear, sir, i
should be as bewildered as bee in a ten
acre lot Of full blown roses. Please accept my
best wishes for the success Of your novel, beau.
tiful, and admirable enterprise.
May the anathemas of no disappointed
mother haunt the sleeping or walking dreams
Of the awarding committee.
Yours, very truly,
FANNY FERN.

THE BRITISH PRESS on THE LOSS OF
THE ARCTIC.
From The London Times,

We have had enough of late, and more than
enough, of the calamtes of war. Our readers must
have been surfeed with the appalling intelligence
received from the East of de iths incurred upon the
field of battle, and of the still more awful condition
of those who were struck do n, MANNED, or wound

provided in time. Peace however, has its tragedies
as war. Human lie may be destroyed in as whole
sale manner by shpwreck, by the explosion OF ire
damp by pesteniial disease as amid the thunder OF
hostile cannon and the glitter OF opposing bayonets.

PUBLIC MEETINGS.
MEETING OF THE BAR.

A meeting was called at the Superior Court to-day,
at o'clock TO take to show proper respect
to the memories Of four members Of the bar, Messrs
Edward Sanford A. Benedict, s. b. Woodruff aud
a young gentleman named Henry A. Brady sup
posed to have been lost in the Arctic. But few
members were present, among whom we noticed Mr.
John Van Buren,. On motion, the Hon. b. +. Butler
was called to the Chair, and II. S, Dodge and j. b.
BaIpum, Esqs., appointed Secretaries.
Hiram Ketchum, Esq., rose and stated that in res
pect to Mr.. Woodruff, it is to be feared there is no
doubt of his having persisted. As to the Others it is
to be hoped that they may not be lost As to latter
this is but preliminary meeting. He proposed that
the subject be referred TO special committee to be
composed of gentlemen who have themselves crossed
the ocean II it should sseertained that they have
persisted, another meeting can be called, aud every
lawyer in the city viii no doubt feel called upon to
respond to it Mr.. X. offered resolutions expressive
of respect to the memory of Mr.. Woodruff, and also
for the appointment of a committee. The Chairman
and hers spoke in favor OF deceased. The resola-
tons were adopted.
