delight at the great success of the Booksellers
Festival in their city on Thursday evening, at
she Crystal Palace. All unite in pronouncing
1t a splendid affair, aud we gather from the
W hole press, reports at considerable length. 1t
was too much OF an affair to be reported en-
tire, but all the speeches and toasts will I'M
doubtedly be collected in pamphlet form. 1t
must have been a rare display of great men.
There sat Washington Irving, ''the observed
of all observers" Next him William Cullen
Bryant, the eldest and one of the most be-
loved of our Poets, leaned on his hand, his
long white beard flowing almost to his breast.
Then there were Willis, Baynrd Taylor, and
all the younger school of our writers. Then
the female authors, very goodly show, were
interspersed among the distinguished genius
of the other sex. Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs. Bot
TIA, Alice Carey, minnie Myrtle" Fanny
Fern and many other literary ladies were
present--and "Grace Greenwood and Mrs.
Sarah ]. Hale, sent toasts. Mr.. Chaplin and
Mr.. Fields were heard distinctly all over the
hall, but many of the other gentlemen voices
fell short of the aobole vast audience. One of
the papers says the author of the ''Sketch
Book, now in his 74th year, was in great spir"
its, and at the hits in the poem, cried "capital!
capital % in his slrill voice, while his fine old
face was full of merry glee, as verse after
verse broke on his ear. At the allusion to his
own name, prolonged cheers rose from tho en-
tire audience.
The toast to Boston booksellers, was as fol-
lows: The Publishers Of BoSton--A fraternity
that has been illustrated by the patriotism Of
KNOX, and the practical intelligence of an
ARMSTRONG, LINCOLN, and Brown, may
still be proud of their cultivate FIELDS.
Mr.. c. c. Little, OF the firm of Little,
Brown, & Ca, replied briefly to this sentiment
and called up Mr.. Fields. 1t is curious to
note the number of New England names
among those who took prominent parts in this
affair. Most of the speakers first saw day
light in this section of the country.

SINGULAR MATRIMONIAL FoRTUNE.-Tha
South Boston Gazette tells the story of a citi-
zen OF Boston who went to California, leav.
ing wife behind him. After year, he went
to the minea and his wife received no letter
from him for year, hearing, during the
tino, that he was dead. She had an offer to
mary again, and accepted, but her second
husband died in few months after marriage.
a lew days since she was surprised by the re-
turn Of her first husband, and upon the prop
or explanations being made, they went to live
together again, much to the scandal of their
immediate friends, who.as the Gazette charges
upon rumor, are about TO enter a complaint OF
6fgamy ~ against the lady. The question is,
is the man the husband OF his own wife with.

meet at the City Hall today. The newspapers
announce that the Eastern delegates will be ac-
companied by the Brigade Bend. A few of the
delegates from Boston arrived in town last even
ing, and the State Committee what remains of
it, were in session, preparing the resolutions,

that anything unusual was about to take place.

BARRE.-On Saturday evening, Willard Broad,
Harding P. Woods, and John King, were chosen
delegates to the " straight out" Convention, to
be holden here to-day. The meeting at which
they were chosen was thin one, and one who
was there informs us, that he knows from person

tend at all events, TO vote for Rockwell, includ-
ing one, at least, of the delegates. The voters
of Barre, generally, are satisfied with him, and,
should any other person receive the nomination

precious few votes in that town.

the States and to the organized territories,

The yellow fever is still abating at
Norfolk, though what few new cases there
have been are of very malignant character,
which indicates a lack of material for the dis
ease to feed upon. There were seven deaths
on Thursday, and three up to noon on Fri
day, but ITO new cases. At Portsmouth there
were twelve deaths on Wednesday, eight on
Thursday, and three on Friday, and scarcely
any new cases. DR.. Jackson was i'll. The

We have often heard of a bull in a
china shop, but never before of COW in an
apothecary shop. On Thursday last COW
that was being driven through the streets of
South Boston, deliberately walked into the
apothecary shop of Radford s. Campbell,
where she devoted leisure moment to the
survey of the establishment. Having satis-
fed her curiosity, she returned to the street,
where she made rush for little girl, whom
she took upon her horns and gently pitched
over the fence, without doing her the slight
est injury otherwise than by fright.
The grounds ON which the annual fair
of the United States agricultural society is to
held in Boston, fifty acres in extent, were
sown to oats few weeks since, and now pre-
sent fine appearance. The expedient was re-
sorted To as a means of avoiding the dust. The
Journal regards it as q note worthy fact
that the largest oat field in New England is
within the corporate limits of its oldest city,
and that it is probably the last field of oats that
will ever be sown in that city.

twelve steamships; and eighty-two ships Of
