meeting up town this week an excellent time for scientific deliberations, for all up- town Is asquiet as the regions of the grave, but very bad lime to get those provisions for the sensual part of mans nature, from the want ofMhieh even philosophers are not exempted. Cut of one hundred and niaeiy- i've Families on the four sides of Washing ton Park only six at present are in their do- mirils. This has beenfaundto to be the case by tIie committee of the :. American Asso- citation for the advancement of education," which IS the name assumed by thls learned body. It is their fifth annual meeting, com menced on Tuesday. Instructive papers have been read by various literary and sci entifc celebrities. One rarely sees larger collection of intellectual heads and fine im- 1 posing coaateaances than were gathered this week in the chapel of the University There was Prof. Bache with the serious look and earnest tone of man who Is do- ing a great good work for the world. There | was Rev Mr. Huntingdon the new Profess sor at Harvard, who held large audience in wrapt attention till very late hour, of evening. His eloquent voice and beautiful i thoughts will not soon be forgotten by those who heard him. There was Lieut.. Maary, Bishop Potter of Pennsylvania, no indoent holder of a sinecure, various superintend- IL. browed professors from the colleges of the the land. It was truly noble spectacle. Into this grave, learned, dignifed. and somewhat aged assembly. there walks on Thursday evening stalwart Engliskman with bat, ball, gloves and all the necessary implements for getting up cricket match. He wanted to explain the game to the asso- citation and seemed not at all adverse to get ting up match on the stage extemrore. Bishop Potter the great. physically as we'll as mentally, took an interest in the subject. Shouldn't wonder if he joined the '' New York Club" The question whether the reading of the Bible should be introduced into the public schools excited warm dis cussion in this body.
 The absorbing topic of general conyersa- tion is, of course, the frightful accident on the Camden and Amboy railroad. There is great indignation against some of the employees -the conductor especially. which really oaght to be directed against the com- pany. This wealthy company enjoying the exclusive control of one of the great thor oughfares of travel has with The worst eco- nolDy provided but single track. If they had lad double track this accident would never have happened. But they will bleed for i. soon. There seems to have been very few New Workers on the train. The calaus- i,y will be felt most deeply in Philadelphia.
 A gentleman" was hauled up at the Tonibs yesterday for attempting to make a haul in way at once original and unlaw- ful.

 All the fools in the world are not dead yet, notwithstanding it is the nineteenth cen,ury.

Y .Z., who swears he will make you rich in five minutes, with a mere recipe. Thai trade is no, as good as it was though--bu, astrologers flourish. A woman of tact and experience can easily astound the ignorant and unprac,iced, and secure their fullest confidence. Then there is always class of fast young gents who must have some I place of that kind to visi. for variety ol amusement, when fast horses lose theil charm and the paint shows too clearly os, the tafslisised checks of beauty, aud red wine is no longer nectar to the lips.
 l Broadway looks buster than it did two weeks ago-cool weather this. and ruslica. ting people begin to think of hot air pipes I in the parlors, and hot rolls in the morning. l Rachel isfur,het advertised, aad is talked
 abou, in the intervals between Know Moth. ing convention matters and the great catas. nophe. and the taking of Sweaborg. Local
