CocK-FIGuTIHG.-This refined amuse-
ment, though then little known in the
North, once prevailed in the South. The
tile-water pe%ninSulaS 0fthis state were once
the chief homes Of came-cocks, and The
most noted region Of co~ck-tightins. The

times. or many Of them. had al idea
that the sport had Il Salutary effect upon
the human character, importing always to

Of them who ate freely of game chickens
eggs, a brave and daShing spirit. But
the practice has been discontinued, we
believe. altogether, very much to the regret
of somc of the mOraliStS on social life.
But it seems that our northern fellow
citizens are now about to receive that gal
liant training which once 50 improved the
human race in Underwater Virginia. There
i great rage for the sport in the suburbs
of New Yorksnd in New Jersey. The new
York philanthropi>tS find IN it a new source
Of animadversion-a new text for pulpit
and newspaper homilics. They are very
busy upon it, while the training OF COCKS.
the manufacture of @attS, and the lighting OF
mains are actively going on. The New
York Times is mortified at the artistic report
Of a cock-1ioht near New York. 1t pain
fully quotes the narrative that lone bird
had his throat cut and his brain f~earfully

ADIvERsIoS.-In two senses Mr. BEEcHER
finds the labor of "eXposing the horrible
state OF the prisons" of New York a diver
sion. Ii is very diverting to him compared
with the very serious affair of the McFAR-
lASp-RIcHARDsoS case, and it is a diversion
of the public mind somewhat from that
matter. We may imagine that the reverend
gentleman made his picture Of the prisons,
drawn in his pulpit last Sunday, as graphic
as possible. 1t would thus the more GER
tainly draw of the public mind from the
last sensation.

"This can but be highly pleasing to his

for there are few in our midst whom we

untrammelled, and his high character as II
gentleman, his moderate and consistent con-
seryatism, and his eminent legal ability and
experience, will surely recommend him to
Str Legislature rs II iii choice for one Of
the highest judicial stations in their eif.."

the second night watch had just gone on
duty. He was seen by the Waterman after
going on duty attending the engines and
otherwise overseeing his machinery. When
las: noticed he was standing on the fan at
the stern of the boat (the Rob Roy is
stern-wheel boat oiling the eccentric and
gudgeon. Some half an hour later the
Waterman reported to Capt. Benedict that
the engineer was missing. This announce
ment caused no little CONSERVATION, since
no one knew In what condition the boiler
and engines were, nor how soon some fatal
collision would take place which would
cause the death of all on board. The en-
gineer previously relieved was immediate
ly aroused and went below. He found the
boilers nearly red hot, the supply of water
having been stopped by the missing en-
gineer, as is frequently done on sternwhetl
boats where the doctors speed cannot be
regulated az on sidewheel boats, and he
also found the engines considerably dan
aged. The fires were Immediately put cut
and the boat tied up for few hours, after
which steam was raised in one Of the
of the boilers, and the boat proceeded on
10 New Orleans, where she is now under
going repairs preparatory TO resuming her
regular weekly trips to Monroe and Trens
ton.
The missing engineer undoubtedly fell
into the river at the sIern of the boat A
short distance below the point on the river
where he was last noticed by the Waterman,
his body was found by Captain Clip. Duke,
and was buried by that gentleman. Ii was
half an hour after he was seen at the boats
stern before his absence was observed, and
and thus the boat run half an hour with
out an engineer. This is doubtless one Of
the most singular steamboat accidents on
record.
