Merit -Honday.-As the day of election for
delegates to the Convention draws near. the
various candidates and their particular friends
are bestirring themselves actively. The peo-
pie regard it with much deeper interest than
they exhibit in an ordinary political canvass,
and few men will give pledge to any one's
support without cool and calm reflection. It
is for this reason that sober reason has taken
the place of the boisterous excitement that
usually prevails in the streets on the eve of
an election. Everybody knows that on its
result depends the decision of a momentous
question, which affec Is not the present alone,
but all succeeding generations

Brooke AreRue.-Any one who has been
upon this much used fhoroughfare since the
lst of January, will agree with us that its
residents have good reason to complain of mu-
nicipal neglect. 1t is q complete bed of mud,
months, and when summer comes the dust is
lntolerable. The Council, at very small ex-
penss, could have the avenue gra velled which
is all the Improvements asked for by the citi-
zens OF that neighborhood. Gravel can be
obtained i'll abundance near the Branch, and
the city carts in few weeks might spread it
the entire length of the avenue 1t seems to
us that the proposition ought 10 commend
itself to the Council and we hope some public
spirited member will introduce it at the next
meeting. Its adoption would conGuce to the
comfort, convenience, health and safety of
portion OF our citizens, who have a right to
expect some legisla ton for their benefit

Scene IN THE LONDON PARKs.-The Serpen-
tine presented an extraordinary scene on Tues
day night, and 1t is estimated that there were
upwards OF 200 900 persons In Hyde Park It
was anticipated that a large number Of the
volunteer Rifles would have visited the Ser.
pentine, but ii is understood that some commu-
nication was made to the headquarters OF the
several corps by the authorities, requesting
that such a demonstra ton should not take
place, and, in consequence, the numbers We're
greatly limited. The drive along the Serpen.
tine was, for two hours, completely blocked
with carriages of the nobility and gentry, and
along the banks masses of persons were congre.
gated. From the bridge down to the extreme
end OF the river was one continuous blaze,
there being upwards of 5o,000 skaters and
sliders, nearly all of whom carried lighted
torches and performed their evolutions by their
light. The centre as we'll as near the banks
of the river, was lined by several hundred
tents. consisting of kating booth refreshment
pavilions, &c. Several displays of fire works
took place upon the ice, and blue, green and
red fires We're ignited, which produced an ex-
traordinary effect. Shortly after nine O'Clock
Large number of tents We're lighted up with
variegated oil lamps aad festoons of Chinese
lanterns, and further displays Of fire. works
took place. The festivities We're carried on
with the utmost vigor for several hours, but at
ten O'Clock large number of persons retired.
Several thousands, however, remained upon
the ice until a much later period. A young
man ard young woman fell through the ice,
and when rescued were in a state of great
exhaustion. Tie other parks We're very much
crowded, and there We're a few accidents, but
nothing OF serious nature occurred.

SYRACUSE, Jan. 3o.-The Anti-Slavery Con-
yention met here this morning in Convention
Hall. The Rev. M +. Strieby, of this city,
Chairman OF the Committee on Resolutions.
reported.
AT first the attendance was small, but grad
ually the disorganizers gathered until the hall
was filled.
A Mr. Powell attempted to speak, and
through the efforts Of the police he was heard
for some time but about noon the mob put
him down, and got forward one OF their mum.
Der named Luke Mckinney, who mounted
the platform and harangued the crowd. A
tremendous confusion ensued, and during a
brief lun of the tempest Mr.. Powell resumed
his speech and after few remarks the anti
slavery men claimed that they had carried
their point in declaring their sentiments, after
which the Convention adjourned sine die.
The mob, not knowing what was done,
made a violent assault upon the police,
throwing rotten eggs, and in one or two cases
exchanging blows but the house was soon
cleared without serious collision. II Is
probable that some arrests will be made.
