WARRINGTON AND MIR. THAYER.

Those who listened TO Mr.. Thayers speech
in Mechanics Hall, on the evening of Oct.
l3th may recolect the savage severity with
which he denounced certain newspaper writ
ers, Correspondents, bought, owned, hired, :"
he called them. He seemed to be thinking
of " Warrington" (who had mentioned him
once or twice in, letters written from Boston
to the Springfield Republican, when he got
off tle following rough inyectiye =

may understand and appreciate the introduc.
tory portions of the letter from Warrington"
which we print in another place. 1t does not
appear that Warrington" or any other "cor-
respondent, had lied" about the gentleman,
either for price, or without price. This
was convenient fiction, without which Mr..
Ihay er could not have spoken so vehementy,
or 50 satisfactorily to himself. Nor does it
appear that any newspaper writer had done
anything to provoke ga great moral hero" to
break out i'll that style. Some men, however,
can be great and strong only in very uncom
mon and peculiar style. But, it is not our
wish at present, to write either an essay or
criticism. Our only purpose is 10 call aten-
ton suitably to the letter Of our correspondent

Ihe services at the ordination of Mr. Chas
L. Garfield, as the minister OF the first Con.
gregational society in Uxbridge, on the 18th

LATIN HAND Book FOR BEGINNERs.-By
James Morris Wilton. Published by James
Munroe, & Co., Boston. The author of this
handbook of Latin exercises, now rector of
the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven,
and formerly teacher at the High School in
this city, has aimed to add something to the
facilities of acquiring the elements of Latin,
which is not known to the methods now COM
monty in use. The exercises and reading les
sons comprise few words, in every variety of
combination, in simple elementary sentences,
and attractive dialogues, illustrated by copi-
GUS references to the grammar and clear and
ample vocabulary, from which the beginner
acquires quick facility and expertness in the
use of Latin and English equivalents, and in
the words of Professor Thacher, vernacu-
lar familiarity with the Latin language and its
construction" The book has been commend
ed by accomplished teachers as a very desira-
Bile contribution to our elementary school lit
erature, and we believe, will hold no unimpor-
tant place among the indispensable text boo ks
of the language. 1t is for sale in this city by

lie RUINS OF THE ROYAL BALL The
reporters have done their best to convey some
idea OF the tremendous crash on the floor of
the Aeademy-but the results of that crash,
ana the picturesque scenes to which it gave
rise, are not to be told in words They are
easier imagined than described When the
nooring gave way, the individual particles OF
the vast crowd" fair women and brave men"
We're thrown together in collision and the
consequences to apparel, and toilette, were in
descubably amusing. But little respect was
paid, under these circumstances, to cxpan-
slveuess Of crlnoline, and hoops often got in.
terlocked in hoops, producing most udcrous
effects. This general and picturesque iumb.
ing up OF lngs was not simply a passing
incident of the grand drama; it lasted all
night, But these veXationS were endured in
the main with great good humor, and to ma
ny, bat served to heighen the enjoyment of
the spec ace, Numerous pocket handkerchiets
were picked up-some of great value, worth
one hundred dollars, of the costlest lace and
ornamentation. Some asked what should be
done with them Some considered them tro-
phies OF the night. Others wished to leave
them with the police. But if left with the DO
lice, it was asked what would become of theme
The loss in torn laces of the costliest descrip.
tons must have been very great. We do not
thluk 1t would be an eXaggeration to say at
least S2O OUO were lost, as the iaces worn by
the matr0ns were of the Costliest Brussels
&c. The young ladies in tfounces and flowers
often looked like Young America in ruins.
Their flounces would be trodden upon, and
long strings would follow in train Their
tiounces would be toru off, and could be pick
cd up in all directions. The $50 young la
dies muslin dresses can scarcely be worn
again. 1t would be difficult to estimate in
money this sort OF damage. The beaux. to
rescue the bouquets of their partners would
often be seen unfolding both hands full of
flowers, as if these beaux were stems upon
which flowers grew. The young ladies often
came all Towering in the most magnificent
bouquets, but they were of no use for display
as III the jam they could not be seen.
