lar old soldier in these matters, made no sign until he saw his carriage ready to receive him, when, with that happy tact which he possesses, he struck out & 'There was an old saying, a good old saying, that it was good to welcome the coming and speed the parting guest.' Here a lusty cheer responded, and eager faces clustered together, and anxious cars were open for wonderful opinions on foreign policy which was expected to call from his lordship's lips. 'Now,' continued his lordship. 'my Leeds friends have been very kind in their sudden reception of me, and perhaps they will be equally kind to make a lane through which Lady Palmerston and myself can get to our carriage.' A roar of laughter and cheers followed this speech, and the crowd immediately fell back, and his lordship handed his wife to his carriage, and drove off." It would seem from this incident that our English cousins are as much given to the vice of speech-making as our own countrymen.--In the United States it

behind masked batteries. By day and by night, through "evil and through good report, " we keep watch and ward at sick beds, counting the beatings of so many hearts and listening to the plaints and inhaling the breath of so many patients. We must keep a niche in our Southern pantheon for the heroes and heroines of the hospital. I claim such a place for Dr. Thomas Marshall, who died to-day a martyr to duty in the hospital at Culpeper Court-House. He was the son of James W. Marshall, of Leeds, and grandson of the late Chief Justice. After graduating he spent fifteen months in Blockley Hospital, Philadelphia. He then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where he was Demonstrator of Anatomy and a highly successful practitioner of medicine. When Virginia declared her independence he, soon as he could leave the bed of a sick mother, repaired to Richmond and offered his services to his native State. In the meantime the battle of Manassas was fought, and without waiting for a commission

Affairs in Philadelphia. From the latest Philadelphia papers received we gather the following items of affairs in that city: The clergy and laity composing the Episcopal Convention reassembled yesterday morning at St. Andrew's Church, and proceeded again to ballot for an Assistant Bishop. At the thirteenth ballot the vote stood as follows: Dr. Stevens, 85; Leeds 50, and scattering 14. Bishop Potter then declared Dr. Stevens to have been elected Assistant Bishop of the diocese of the State of Pennsylvania. He is the rector of St. Andrew's Church, in this city. The election had then to be confirmed by the laity. Each church, numbering one hundred and fifty-eight in all, sent three lay delegates to the Convention, together with the clerical delegates. As the confirmation of the doings of the clergy remained with the lay delegates, a number of the latter claimed the right to confer together before they took action, as each set of delegates casts but one vote. A motion

rovement. The good times are long in coming. To whom are all these poor people to look when the mills are closed, and at last the kind purse that was still open. It is natural to look to the wealth and property on the spot in the neighborhood, it has been produced there and taken flight elsewhere. But it is difficult to enforce this sort of delay. Already an immense amount of charity has been done on the spot. The whole of the manufacturing districts share the distress more or less Leeds suffers; Sh suffers; even Birmingham suffers. There are 3,000 more paupers there than last year at this time. At Coventry there are only three times as many; such Unions as have struggled to keep open are threatened; and Ecclesal Blerly are suffering considerably. Enterprise is flagging at many other places, too people do not know how soon disasters may reach them, be they ever so much cut of the cotton districts. But the other day 200 persons were starved to death, or more mercifu

The Mint, Custom-House, St. Charles, Medical College, School of Medicine, and Orphan House, are all used as places of rendezvous for his army and navy. English and French flag are still flying over residences, and a few of other nations are seen. The Mississippi river is now falling rapidly.
