BARNUM IN ENGLAND.-Mr. Barnum was
announced to repeat his lecture on "Money
Making" at Oxford, a few evenings ago, but
the undergraduates resolved upon putting him
down. Immediately on making his appearance
he was metwith vollies ofgroans and Kisses, and,
although he made several attempts to obtain
hearing, he could not succeed, and therefore
sat down, telling the audience that che was in
no hurry and willing to abide their time"
This elected roars of laughter, renewed with
increased force when Barnum told them he
was Fan old Snowman" and that as they had
paid their money, they might take their choice
and hear him n not that it rested entirely
with themselves, for he was prepared to carry
out his contrac', but if they preferred to re-
ceive nothing, he should not quarrel with their
decision, but pocket the affront with the cash.
This produced a slight calm, and Barnum in
dulged the hope hat there was a chance Of his
having "a clear stage and no favor" so he
made another attempt to commence, but it
was of no use, and he then asked the au-
dience, as they would not listen to him,
if they would hear Picco Picco came for
ward, and played one of his favorite pieces,
and the "Scavonian hungarian artistic" KRAFT
ky Baschik, followed With a performance on q
small instrument resembling a mouth accor-
deon. After this, Barnum made another at
tempt to obtain a hearing, but the Interruptions
were renewed. To MAKE matters worse, he
was struck with an orange and peppered with
chestnuts, thrown by some of the undergradu-
ates This disturbed the .Quanimity of his
temper which he had kept admirably up to
this time He said that he did nos mind words,
but blows he would not submit to. Attempt
ing to give the second part of his lecture, he
met with so much interruption that he was
heard only at intervals, and ultimately desist-
ed. The scenes of uproar which occurred sur
passed anything we remember and hundreds
of persons were disappointed at having spent
their money and evening so unprofitably and
unsatisfactory. Although the proctors and
proproctors were present, and did all in their
power to obtain order, their attempts were as
fruitless as those of the lecturer.-London Mu-

INTERESTING TO BEER DRINKERs.-The
Taunton Republican gives the following re-
treshing story, which we commend to the at
tention Of those in the habit of clipping the
mug
"a few days since, man went into one of
the beer shops in town, and called for half
pint of ale. The ale was brought to him in
common pint measure. He drank little, and
thinking it tasted rather queerly, asked the
store-keeper if anything was the matter with
his beer. The answer was that it was first
rate beer, just bought in Boston. This salts
fled the customer, and he swallowed the re-
mainder of the beer. When he got through,
seeing something in the bottom of the meas
ure, he asked what it was. Il declare said
the shop-keeper, 4 forgot to take out the soap

BosToN PUBLIC GARDEN, &c.-A disagree
ment has existed between the authorities of
Boston and those of the State, as to the rela-
tive rights and obligations of the parties, in
relation to the Back Bay lands, and the stipu-
lations concerning them on the one side and
the other. There is party in Boston who
are DESTROYS of cutting up the Public Garden,
adjoining the Common, and the portion of
Back Bay lands belonging to the city, con-
nected herewith and laying it out in streets
for building purposes, as good speculation;
while, probably much larger portion of the
population desire that it should always remain
open, as an extension of the Common, and to
be used for such purposes, only, as are appro-
pirate for an ornamental public square. Dur
ing the past session of the Legislature, an act
was passed, intending to compromise the mat
ter by providing that the city lands referred
to shall always remain open to the public, and
that the city shall receive such amount of the
Back Bay Lands as shall be assigned to it as
an equivalent, by a commission, to be appoint
ed by the Governor and the Mayor of the city.
The act provides that it shall take effect upon
its acceptance by majority of the votes to be
cast at an election held for that purpose.
We cannot doubt that the provisions of the
law will be accepted by large majority of the
votes of the electors. 1t would be shame to
the city and an outrage on the whole public, if
they should lose such an opportunity of secur-
ing forever the present opening from the COM
mon to the pure air of the country, and the
fine view of the water across the mill-dam ave-
nue.. 1t would take away one half the value of
the noble Common, to have it enclosed by SOL
id brick walls, which should limit the vision
on all sides. We cannot think so meanly of
the people Of Boston as to believe they will
permit it to be done. What would be the val
ne of the amount of money which might
be brought into the City Treasury by sale of
these lands, compared with the health and en-
joyment which would be secured to the peo-
pie, for all coming time, by leaving them open?
This may be thought by some to be an Off
cious intermeddling with other peoples affairs,
but it is not so. With the welfare of Boston,
the interests of the whole State are identified.
There is where her business is mostly trans
acted, and there is where large numbers of our
sons and daughters find their homes. Let the
act then be accepted, as securing good, for
the loss of which, money would be no equiva-
lent

JOHN MITCHELL, the Irish patriot who so
very notably event up like rocket and came
down like stick" does not truly represent
all the Irish patriots with whom he was asso-
ciated. At any rate, Smith O'Brien is diff
ferent kind Of man. He was recently in At
lanta, Ga. and Southern paper noticing his
conversation and expressions of opinion while
there, says,-"He expressed dissent from his
friend, John MitchelPs position upon the Afri-
can slave trade and Union questions. Mr..
O'Brien's opinions on both these subjects may
be influenced by old country prejudices." 1t
is possible that Mitchell did not really believe
himself when he first declared in favor of sla-
very, but having in his foolishness slipped in
that way, his measureless selfconceit and self
will carried him headlong into the flthiest
quagmire Of slavery. And there he sticks fast
to this day, an establishment to his old friends,
curiosity to his new ones, and a warning to
all forward pretenders to manly honor and
love for Liberty. 1t is refreshment to know
that O'Brien is not likely to follow Mitchell's
example.

AERoNAUTIC ADvENTURE.-The Webster
Times, with slight misgiving, relates the fol-
lowing incident: A cripple in Oxford, bear
ing the suggestive name of Hoppin, was the
other day sitting upon the heavy end of an
old fashined well-sweep at neighbours house,
when an Irish girl came to the well to draw
pail of water. Without observing the man at
the stern down went the bucket, and up went
the cripple to the height of some thirty feet
the sudden stop of the sweep, as the bucket
reached the water, disturbed the equanimity
of the unfortunate eronaut, and with lusty
shout he toppled off the pole and rapidly de-
scended to terra .tirma. Fortunately no injury
was sustained further than the breaking of
'0oOden legl The limb was amputated with
ont the slightest pain, and the fracture prompt
ly attended to by journeyman carpenter.
