The CIRCUS EXHIBITION.-There is nc
denying the fact that the chief attraction
now in Richmond is the circus and me.
nagerie of Mr.. John Robinson. Notwith-
standing the heat, the audiences continue
so large that the capacity of the pavilion
is wholly inadequate to accommodate
them, and hundreds were turned away
last night and the night previous. On
Wednesday evening an incident occurred
that would have been amusing but for the
pathetic earnestness with which country
man and his dulcinea plead for admit
tance. The ticket wagons had been closed,
and the lights extinguiShed but our coun-
try friend refused to take " No !" for an
answer, and vainly endeayored to thrust
his money into the hands of the agent.
"My dear sir" said the latter, there are
over 5000 persons now in, and your lady
could not see the ring, much less the per-
formance, were she to make the effort"
Finding all importantly and entreaty tu-
tile, the country gentleman retired sui
lenly, and walked into one of the adjoining
tents, where the educated hog Shakespeare
and that wonderful youth Riley were
amusing oil who could not see the "big
show !" and the clowns.
No similar exhibition that has ever
visited Richmond has been SO numerously
attended as this, and the proprietor may
congratulate himself at this fact. Should
the rush continue, Mr.. Robinson's exche-
quer will be augmented "muchly" by
Richmond funds, and he will have cause
to hold the circus-goers Of this city in last
ing and grateful remembrance.

FROM MANCHESTER.

COURT MATTERs.-Victoria Grahame
was arraigned before Justice Gentry for
threatening to destroy the life Of her child
because it had been taken from her GUS
tody and consigned to that Of her husband.
She was bailed in the sum of sl00 to keep
the peace for twelve months.
Bette Jones was brought up on the
charge of stealing clothing from Martha
Barksdale; both coored. The evidence of
her guilt being conclusive, she was sent on
to appear before higher tribunal.
CHoLERA.-There have been reported
several cases of genuine cholera in town
and in the suburbs. No apprehension is
entertained, however, that it will prevail
in an epidemic form-provided proper at

EMBARRASSING M1sTAKE.-An inveterate
bachelor residing in this city received
letter from couple of nieces few days
since, in which, among others, was the fol-
lowing request: "Send Immediately the,
Man we Love-" The bachelor was exceed
ingly perplexed, and totally at loss to ac-
count for such an unusual and astounding
request. In the first place, it was the first
intimation he had ever had that his nieces
did love a man, and in the next, if they
did, he had not the slightest idea who that
man could be. He at once wrote, enclosing
that portion of the letter, and demanded
an explanation. Yesterday he received a
response, in which the pretty nieces, with
many apologies, explained. They Intended
to write, "Send us The Land I'VE Love,"
General D. n. Hill's popular monthly.
The substitution of man in former letter
was a slip of the pen. The bachelor uncle
accepted the invitation, but could not sup
press the thought that if the dear girls had
not been thinking about the masculines
the mistake would never have occurred.

GOLD ON CHURCH HILL SURE ENoUGH.-
The statement made in the Dispatch last
Monday that gold had been found in dig
ging a we'll on Twenty sixth near Venable
street turns out to be "no joque." An ex-
perienced and skilful chemist has ana
lyzed portions of the clay, and finds that
it yields percentage equal to the average
of the gold fields of California. 1t has
been ever contended that Virginia is as
rich in ores and precious metals as she is
in statesmen, heroes, sages, philosophers,
and pretty women, and every day some
new evidence comes to light corroborating
the truth OF the assertion. We have no
doubt that there is gold elsewhere be-
sides Church Hill, but it has not been dis
covered, and it may be many years hence
ere the valuable dust shall be brought to
view. But that it does exist on Church
Hill is a "fxed fact" and We would ad-
wise all holders of real estate in that Sec
tion to be extremely cautious how they
dispose of their property. Were we one
of the fortunate, greenbacks could not in
duce US to part with it.
