Some of John Knox’s writings are especially men tioned, and a “Completo C’vpy * of tho First English, or Covordulo’s 'Transla tion of tin* Bible.’' If tho latter work answer* tho description, the “find” will be moro valuable than was at first sight apparent, ns no perfect copy of this Bible has ret been found to exist, and ono, tiio title und first leaf wanting, but supplied in fnc-#lmil«, sold for . .C33ft f or $1,800, in 1854. The London Times on tiib'Execution of John Brown.—'Tiio London Times has a leader on (he execution of John Brown nnd tho cinhunstaneoa it gave rise to. It says that it apjieni’s some what ludicrous to find that tho North dul nothing until Brown was executed, and adds that this does not convey -a very exulted notion of their zeal or ’ do- termination of purpose. It sums up as follows; .* . . ,- ’ r . “ The result will lie to strengthen tho South by the i^dliesion ot’ .thp Homing mass of thy opinion which . in over)’ country lies botwoon extremos. \Vhut over may be tho futiuia of tho negro raqo, no one In his senses can believe its regenonoration ban ho cilocted by inci ting it to’murdor, plantors and ravish white women; nnd if any mini choosos to head an outbreak, of this kind,' ho musf Oxpost to meet a fate yvhich l igjitr thinking'ment will liol glorify ’.wRh p crown of uiartyrdoin.” Anecdote or Lamar.—A friend, who know (ho Uto Mirahchu B.

This waa done in a minute, and strangely enough, Im allowed Mr. Knrey to knock bis feet together and to go through somo other l>4*rformntioc3. I now looked for a test of power far moro vrtluablo than that in the preeodiug caso. Tho horse’s solo objection seetnod to be against being ridden, and far this he i'oiorved all his energies. Mr. Karey soon mountod without saddle, and for about a mlnuto showed somo first-rate horsemfttiship in sticking on. However, ho soon dis mounted and called for a saddlo. This was put on, and Mr. Raroy mounted again, liut it was soon evident that he lind no light work before him. There was not, in this caso, tho slightest ap pearance of any influence galnod over thenttinml, though a wondorfully fine display of horsemanship. The horso traversed all parts of tho arena, kicking furiously and Indofatlga- bly, with occasional rears and pawing of tho air violently. Mr. Rareyfti chief en deavor was to keep 1dm turning round rapidly and thus to subdue him? but ev ery now and then the liorso soemod to defeat tho effort, and began lashing out and rearing again. Threo. tlmos he threw himself down, and mbst' extraor dinary were the courago and skill with which Mr. Raroy each time extrlcatod liimnelf from the roll of tiio horse, and was literally in tho lAddle again boforo tho Animal, nimble as lio was, hod time to bn on his legs. Tho samo contest then began again uml lasted for a con siderable time, but terminated with Mr. Rarey’s victory—at loastn near approach to victory, as lie rode two or three tlm.es round the arena without further exhi bition of violence on tho part of the horse. His composure, skill and cour age were altogether a most imposing sight. Tho horsemanship was wonder- nil, and drow forth much sympathy nnd causo. applauso, especially the instantaneous occupation of tho saddle aud com mencement of tho struggle ngnin fcftcr the successive falls.
