A LBTr8R from London intimates that the
managers of the Great Eastern are playing
subtle game. They are clearing the
stock. The London Times writes it down,
and will continue to do so until the small
shareholders become so dishearteped, as to
sell ont, when the figure it will stand at in
the market will be so low that those in the
secret will be able to get possession of the
ship for about what she is worth for old
iron. The original shareholders consented
10 have their shares hypothetical, and
put in the new company at the price
the shares bore in the market when the
ship stuck on the ways at Blackwell,
and was likely to be show for all future
generations. BY that process the ship,
which actually cost $500, 600, came into
the hands of the present shareholders at a
cost of f3sO,oOO. Now, if sufFicientn num-
Der OF shareholders cannot he disguised
with their investments to sell at a figure
that the knowing ones choose to give, the
same game Is to be played over again.
The directors will say they want money to
finish her, and that It will cost &4O,O or
100000 in all; and if the shareholders
will not come forward and literally sub
scribe, q new company must be formed
The stock has already fallen forty per cent,
the present pound shares selling for twelve
or thirteen shillings. At this rate of pro-
gress the great ship will soon be in the
hands of men whose full investment will
not exceed 100000, being scarcely the
cost of an, ordinary steamer. y $. SO

AT the time of writing this paragraph,
no Organization has been effected in Con-
gress-no Speaker or other officers chosen
in the House of Representatives, nor is
there Likelihood that an organization
viii be had for some days-perhaps weeks
to come, and consequently, nothing has
been, or can be, done-save and except
that the members have delivered them
selYesof any quantity of buncomb speech
es. In the House of Representatives each
days session has been Consumed in dis
secting Senator Stewards Rochester speech
and Helper'sbook on slavery. We arc at a
loss to see, what these matters have to do
with the choosingof Speaker or the Sc
lection ola Clerk. So far as Stewards
speech is concerned, our readers under
stand all about that, for they have had
opportunities of reading it. But such not
being the case with respect to Helpers
book, we may state, that some two or
three years ago, gentleman named Hell
per, from North, Caroiua, wrote a book on
slavery, =ostensibly in the interest of tho
Notwithstanding whites of the Southern
states,-pointing out their depressed con-
dition, and designed to stir them up to
measures of redress and relief. Soon af-
ter the Residential election, sundry Re-
publicans conceived the design of making
this book.a campaign document, and they
therefore subscribed considerable sums of
money for the publication of campaign
edition, and signed certificate of its in
terest and value as a booktof popular in,
struction on the subject which it dis
cussed. For year or, two neither the
book nor the movement attracted any
particular attention. Nobody denounced
it-nobody thought it worth while to ar
raign those who had recommended it as
incendiartes or traitors, and the book was
producing no perceptible. effect anywhere,
until the assembling of the present Con-
gress. We hope that, in the course of a
few days tksysnray be able. to get through
with this book, and then go vigorously to
work.. s-

creation beyond little Of the tallest west
ern wind now and then, which booms
across the prairies and over the surface OF
the lakes with force of which you dwell
ers on the seaboard can form no idea.
Our harvest has ben abundant, and the
toll of the farmers has been blessed with
heavy crops of wheat, corn, oats, barley,
potatoes, &C., all of which comes as a time
ly offset TO scarcity of money among all
classes of men. All this abundance, how
ever, has had the effect of checking the
forwarding business by the canals, holders
of grain holding back to obtain better
prices. Within the last few days some in
dications of renewed life are observable in
the increased number of canal boats, laden
with wheat, corn, &C.. on their way to To-
ledo, from whence by Lake Erie to Buffa-

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. %, 1859.

NEWARK, N D., oct. 20, 1907
DEAR ANGLo:-By the Hudson River
railroad, we arrived at East Albany, and
crossed by steamer to Albany proper.
Here the Central Railroad cars were ready
for passengers for the North and West,
and the usual confusion that takes place
on the change of cars was manifested at
this time. Every one was scrambling for
a good seat. Those who were so FORUM
ate as to get an unoccupied seat to suit
them were lucky. | was one OF those who
were favored. Many would pass and re-
pass, cycling me rather disdainfully, think
ing, no doubt, that I, being colored Anne
rican, had "no rights that white men are
bound to respect" such being the decision
of that wonderful Gergashite, the great
high priest of American Justice; but it was
no use-I was not to be frowned out of my
seat, for l find that etiquette is laid aside
by travellers, and that number one be-
comes the law. Therefore, knowing that |
had good claim, made fast, and retained
my quarters.
In short time we were under way at a
great rate of speed, with any quantity OF
dust; those who have travelled on the
Central Railroad know that between Al
bany and Utica they are troubled with
more dust than on any other part of the
route. At Utica we were given twenty
minutes for dinner Some went to Bagg's
Hotel, and others to the different saloons
near the depot 1t is very amusing IN
one of these saloons. There Is high
counter around the room, which is set with
plates, knives and forks, cups and saucers,
sugar and milk, butter, &c. Sometimes
as many passengers as can be accommo-
dated surround these boards, like so many
hungry wolves about dead OK, or a flock

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81, 1859.
Mr.. EDToR:-On Tuesday evening last
Mr.. Jesse Glasgow, Jr., delivered the sec
ond of a course of lectures before the Phil
adelphia Library Company, on Scotland
and the Scotch at Central Hall, Walnut
street, above Sixth. The room was crowd
ed tot its utmost capacity, and before the time
had arrived for the lecture to commence
there was not seat to be had After Civ
ing a description of Scotland, the lecturer
occupied the remainder of the time in re-
Iating anecdotes illustrative of Scottish
character. At the conclusion of the lecture
Messrs. Jno. G.. Bowers and Isaiah G. Weirs
entered quite spiritedly into the discussion
of the following question; SIS the African
Civilization movement worthy the support
of the colored people," Mr.. Bowers took
the affirmative, and endeavored to main
tain it against the forcible reasoning and
logic of his opponent. He referred to the
aggressive policy of this government, to
the oppressive laws which are being enact
ed in many of the Southern States against
the free colored people, and urged the con-
sideration of the question of emigration as
a remedy for existing evils. On the other
hand, Mr.. Wears drew life-like picture of
the colored people, and showed how poor
ly they are adapted to the requirements Of
selfgovernment; a people but few re-
moves from barbarism, going among barba-
rians, he thought they would again become
barbarians. He showed that prominent

PRAYERS IN BEHALF OF JOIN BRowN.-On
Tuesday evening large and respectable
audience of persons sympathizing with
John Brown, met at Shiloh Presbyterian
Church, for the purpose Of prayer and ex-
ortation in relation to slavery, and more
particularly to pray for John Brown and
the men in prison with him in Virginia.
The exercises were conducted by the Rev.
Henry Highland Garnet, The Rev. Mr..
Constantine read portion of Scripture,
and delivered the opening prayer Ad-
dresses were made by the Rev. Mr.. VIII
son and the Rev. Mr.. Garnet. Prayers
were made by Revs. Messrs. Prime, Aus
tin, and others.
A preliminary prayer meeting was held
at the residence of Mr.. Garnet, at o'clock
in the afternoon, which was attended chief
" by ladies. Much enthusiasm and earn
estness was apparent, and the cause of
