TINS WEEK promises to he quite gala time
in the city, considering that we have the Fair,
the opening of the Hempleld road, The military
and civil ball, the circus. and o'hcr minor at
fractions. Business men have been cleaning,
and brushing up and arranging their wares, in
anticipation Of an increased demand. We ex-
pect tho present fair to Guido all those which
have preceded it, because the.interest manifest
cd has been greater. The Society, VIC believe,
have made ample preparations, and have busily
bcstirred themselves to discharge their respon-
sibilities. 4 great many will, no doubt, come
down on the HempAeld, from the towns along
the route, and our business men need hardly be
told, that up along that railroad nowadays,
some valuable scquaintsnces may be made
We need but tell our country readers that they
will find good comfortable entertainment, for
most Of them we'll know that We have large
and cOmmodious hotels, whose proprietors al
ways make It their especial business to see that
every attention is paid to their country visitors
We believe that All the railroads have agreed 10
issue excursion tickets from the various points
along their lines, SO that the present occasion
will be an inviting one for business men, not
only to come themselves, but to indulge their
families in a pleasure day or two.

LocKRID6E AND WALKER.-The New Orleans
Delta, Of September Cd, publishes a card from
Col S. a. Lockridgc, stating that he has no far
ther connection with the Nicaraguan cause in
any way whatever. The reason assigned for
his withdrawal is that his private affairs demand
his whole attention. This decision on the part
of the Colonel, would seem to have been quito
unexpected, il wo may Judge from a paragraph
in the Galveston Hers Of tho 2sth ult., Give
days previous, which says:
"Col. Lockridgc returned this morning from
visit to his friends in the interior, and proceeds
directly back to New Orleans, with view to
aid Gen. Walker in his return to Nicaragua.
''Gol Lockridge informs us that he has seen
Texas, who assure him they will be able TO
raise several companies, ard with reasonable
notice Of the time Of departure, they viii be
ready with about 500 men in all to embark on
a steamer to be sent to Indianola for that pur-
pose"
The Delta also contains the following in re-
gard to the movements of Gen. Walker
"Gen. Walker, of Nicaragua, accompanied by
Col. S. F. Slater, arrived yesterday from Mcm-
phis He seems in excellent health after his
tour of six weeks through the South; Is much

the streets Of the second district, one evening
last week Tho hearse was drawn by four white
horses, and fifty carriages followed By the

"For the first point, would request them TO
use in the daily service of the church, the APP
pointed prayer 'Fnr Times of War and Tpmult'
and to insert in the other prayers, where pro-
vision is made for such insertions, the words,
more especially for our brethren now suffering
from war and violence in the East

show to their people the great trust which
God has committed to us in our widespread
colonial possessions. and our consequent duty
of using them for His glory and the extension
of the Kingdom of Our Lord and Saviour upon
earth; together with the little we have as yet
done to discharge these obligations, and so to
stir them up5to humiliation for the past and
greater exertions for the future.

ceased for sufficient length of time, the prices
of produce will fall to amuch lower level in the
