i'i(C Miscellanit. COXUUMBJCAL CON V ERSATION. We throe Blockheads be. Barber's Block. Mr. Karron, — [ need not inform you, tnat a m*tn, who talks much of the excellent term; on which he stands with the ladies, is usually a fellow of little or no estimation in the eyes of the fair-; and perhaps never had the honor of speaking to those with whom he boasts of being familiar. Such a man is con temptible in the eyes of all sensilde people oi both sexes; and his conversation, which is perpetually recurring to his favorite topic, is exceedingly annoying to those who are so un lucky as to be placed within the sound ofliis voice. It is mv misfortune to he a lodger in the same house with two or three men of this de scription, who in order to impress their fel low lodgers, and especially Airs. Hyson our landlady, with their progress*in the graces of tfac fair, are every day talking of their adven tures with this or that lady—their advances in the favor of Miss or All s, such a one—the smiles they received from Juliana —the ogles they met with from Clarissa--or the glances they encounter-xl from Henrietta. And they are careful to take the opportunity of the breakfast, dinner, or tea table, when most people are sure to be annoyed, to infliet their conversation on their fellow lodgers; and as our landlady presides, so good au opportuni ty is not to be lost for impressing her with their importance among the sex in general, and among certain ladies in particular. I will endeavor t 6 give you, as well as my recollection served me, a specimen of one of these coxcombical conversations. Time, half past s n on; scene, the breakfast table ; present, Mrs. Hyson and five and twenty hoarders; principal talkers, Dicky Douse, Jose Yardstick, and Neddy Stripe, till in dick ies andcheekod pantaloons.

But when I hear gentle men boasting of their standing and intimacy with the ladies—l am apt to suspect that the ladies are after all no ladies—or tliat they an; creatures of no estimation—and that the boasting gentlemen were never in reality ad-. mitted into the society of any woman of sense and respectability.

From A. Y. Constellation. BROADWA Y AND ITS COACHES. Tinge is no street in world—and it is not our say-so merely—better calculated for dis play than Broadway. Iks course is straight as an arrow—its side walksare smooth,clean ly and spacious, and its-width is sufficiently ample for a number of carriages to pass a hreast- Of a pleasant morning it is crowded, as the phrase goes, with beauty, taste and tasliion—though for the matter of beauty, it 1 has frequently been suggested to us by stran gers, that we have less to boast of than any other city in the Union. We doubt the fact—hut suppose it is a fact—who cares for beauty now-a-days ? Beauty! at is a:i old fashioned quality, aad quite out of date.— Beauty ! is but skin deep—it is nothing. Dross is every thing, and where is the city that can rival New York in dress ? Where do the ladies dress, so fashionably and so gen teely as here ? What city sets the example to others in the fashions, and is the centre of attraction to millions from Cape Cod to Geor gia? But it is not as a promenade only that Broadway lays claim to attention—its moving panorama is not confined to its sidewalks and ladies—it is lined with carriages of every de scription--with buggeos,stanhopes, phaetons, gigs, carryalls, coaches, omnibuses, socia bles and a host of other vehicles whose names we are unacquainted with. Nothing can he more amusing than to watch this amalgama tion of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehi cles—to observe the different styles of driv ing, the style of the lierses, of the carriages, and of those who are carried. There is one species of carriage, however, peculiar, we believe, to New York, at least it is common to no other city in this country. We mean the Omnibus, or Sociable, as it is sometimes called. This is a huge, oblong vehicle with two seats running lengthwise, capable of containing from twelve to twenty persons, and upon which they sit facing each other. Tire entrance is in the roar, by a per manent flight oi steps, aud a door-way always open. Carriages ot this description—the number of which is quite large—-are con stantly passing and repaying from one sec tion it the city to the other, stopping occa sionally to take up or set down passengers. The more general starting place is Wall street,where many of them are-always stand ing, .and waiting each its turn to start off.— The place of destination, by which the par ticular route of the carriage may be known, is generally designated on the "sides of the carriage. For example—there are the. Broadway and Blcecker-strectcoaches, which land you at the last mentioned street } then there are the Greenwich stages and the Dry Dock stages, which stop each at these re sportive places. 1 lie extent of our city indeed requires some facilities of conveyance cheaper thurt hacknies, and those we have been describing answer the purpose admirably. Many ofoiir citizens who do business “ down town,” —as the region of Wali-street is called—reside in the upper parts of ie citv, at a distance of two miles or more from their counting-houses. Thus they enjoy all the pleasures and advan tages of a healthy and more retired situation, and at the same time that they a*-e relieved from the trouble and expense of’ keeping a coach themselves, and vet can rule to town whenever tin v feel disposed. These carriages have hitherto been of an ■ inferior, description—but the present season tin re h.is hccuji derided improvement—and j one, too, which seems likely not to be stayed till a thorough reformation is effected in the whole department. First camp the “ Omni bus —a flaming red coach—long and narrow, and drawn by four horses. Its appearance was like a meteor—so suddenly and unexpect edly did it shoot upon us. It excited the ad miration of all—there was nothing like the “Omnibus”—thousands took a ride in it just for the name of ttie thing though not one perhaps in a thousand knew the meaning of the name. But “what’s in a name ?”—peo ple didn’t stay to inquire, but patronized the “Omnibus,” because it was the “Omnibus,.” “The reign of the Omnibus, however, like that of the reigning belie, was soon over.— Not many weeks bail elapsed, before down came the “Knickerbocker,” jraiuted in (wight yellow. This was a far more novel construc tion than the Oinni.,us—it is built in the Gothic style of coach architecture, with win dows running up to a peak, like those in an abbey. It is suspended on such easy springs that one might easily 6o composed to sleep by the gentleness of its motion. The wheels too are not half the diameter of those in the othereoaches—you could almost with one step lift yourself into it. The ladies, of course, ad fell in love with it—the dons, too, were delighted—every body, in short, voted the Knickerbocker to be the most wdltderfirl production of the age—in the way of cartages. The Omnibus, seeing how things were go ing, was seized with a fit of jealousy—she could no longer occupy the same path with Knickerbocker—she turned away from Broadway and now runs only to the Dry Dock. Thus stood, affairs. The Knickerbocker was hugging herself with the reflection that it was impossible she should ever find a ri val. But she was w ©fully mistakep. The ball of emulation aud enterprize when once started in our city, rolls on and on, till there is no calculating when or where it will stop- So it was in the present instance. That en terprising caterer for the public taste, whose garden is the theme of admiration not only with our citizens, hut with the Bostonians and Philadelphians—who are never over ready to allow there is any thing superlatively fine out of their own cities—this Will Nildo, wlr.'se name is associated with feasts of turtle and champaigne, and <svery thing in the way of the table that is excellent —this prince of Prince-street was all the while -planning bow he might contrive some new pleasure and thus secure to himself some manifestation of public favor. One pleasant afternoon in this pleasant mont hof July—just towards sun-set—a splen did carriage, of a beaqtiful dun, or cream color, drawn by. four equally splendid bays., was seen moving majestically down Broad way. All eves were directed towards it,— The windows, as it passed, were every where thrown open—heads by hundreds were thrust out to catch a glimpse of the splendid phe nomenon. Carmen and coachmen stop their horses to see the eighth wonder—the horses themselves turn round their heads to look at it—the foot passengers halt in their career to inquire whose is the vehicle they See passing. One said it is a presont for the Emperor of the Russias to he shipped on board the cor vette —another that it was my Lord—some body’s who was just arrived from Eng land—a third that it was no less tbau the e quipageof the ex-Secretary of State, of our own republic, with which he was going into splendid “ eetiraey .” No one had any jHtsi tive knowledge as to the proprietorship of the new carriage, or could tell any thing certain about it. To satisfy their curiosity, multitudes fol low it down Broadway to see where it should stop. It drives down Broadway.—down Wall-street, turns into William, and there at the Bank Cofl ee House —once kept by Niblo himself-—it draws up. Then was the myste ry developed—the cat was lot out of the bag. On each side of the carriage was displayed in gilt letters, “Lady Clinton,” and at either end, “Niblo’s Garden.” It ndeds no interpreter to tell that this es tablishment was got up by Niblo for the con venience of the public in visiting bis garden. It has since run regularly lietweea the two places, and in the evening may be distin guished by a pretty red lantern displayed on top of it with the magical words, “Niblo’? Garden.” 1). : Continuation of European news, by the Shef field, arrived at, New York. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The accounts from the theatre of war are of a gratifying nature. The insurrection in in the Russo-Polish provinces is extending with great rapidity. Lithuania and Samogi* tia will soon establish their independence, and send Deputies to the national Diet at : .Warsaw. Gen Gielgud is at the head of 40,- 000 men, and is proceeding towards Wilna and the sea coast. In Naiuugitta, 20,000 in surgents arc under arms ; arid the Comman dcr-in Chief has transmitted to the Govern ment the report of a victory gained by a par ty of the same gallant people in tlie province of Volliyiiia. Gen. Deuibinski with another auxiliary force, entered Lithuania at Olitta, 50 or 00 miles south west of Wilna. where he also was joined by a strong bod/ of the insur-, gents, who had previously beaten a Russian detachment and captured two pieces of can non and supplies near Troki, not far from the capital of the province. Gen. Chlapowski, who entered Lithuania near Biatsfpc before the oilier corps, after having dispersed two columns —one near Bielsk, the other near Pronzana—marched northward, crossed the Nieine.i east of Grodno, and arrived at Lida on the bill of June, where he was joined by many detachments of the insurgents, and a large body of the nobles of Lithuania* The Polish Commander in Chief moved his head quarters about the middle of June, from Praga to Sienuica, the place which he occu pier! before ho began his scries of manamv jes Oil the Nurcw ; he is said, however, to have been accalled, by an intention shewn by the Russians to cross the Narcw and Bug near Sicrock. But the intentions of neither partyare manifest,and the Polish General has becniiith crio peculiarly successful in disguising his In tended movement,s. The Polish Government has announced a loan of GO millions of florins —lor raising which they mainly depend on their fellow-citizens. Tlie ellbrls of pergon al generosity and pecuniary sacrifices, by which the Poles nave hitherto supported the [ expenses of the war, have been at least as re* markable as their military virtues We trust that means will be taken to afford the frtends of liberty in Great Britain an opportunity of contributing their mites towards the support of the gallant and patriotic Poles in their san guinary struggles with the tyrant of the north. Letters from Warsaw state that the Prus sians are constructing a bridge for the Bus-! sians over the Drewenca, to facilitate their pas -,ge ovgr the Vistula. It appears- that the Grand Polish army is going to attack the Russians on the side of Pultusk. Authen tic accounts have been received that General Cfalapow.ski has obtained hrillant successes over the Russians ; and that he was proceed ing to Lithuania with his corps, which was daily increasing. A Berlin paper of the 28th ult. represents the situation of the Poles as exceedingly crit ical, the Russians having grossed the Vistula below Pluck,and the corps of General Kreutz and Rudiger having effected a junction with the main army. It is, however, to be obser ved, that the Warsaw letters of the 23d ult. make no mention of any of these circumstan ces, andthat tfac Berlin and Milan Gazette of the ftOth of Juile is completely silent on the subject. St. Petersburg, June Ift. Bv an order of the day, dated 10th ultimo, Field Marshall Count Paskewitsch-Etiwanski has been appointed to the chief command of the active army, in the room of the late Field Marshall Count Diebitsch Sab Id kan sky- de ceased. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Warsaw, June 21. The Polish army has just .executed a move ment which will }<rohably decide the cam paign one way or the other. The enemy •Maintaining their position at Ostrolenka,drew ' ali their provisions and ammunition from 1 Prussia, and appeared to have concentrated their principal force in that direction, in dc-i fault of other means of subsistence. General Kreutas corps protected'Brezstj, and kept up a communication with the main army upon its right, w hilst its left was in relation with General Rudiger, who, on his part, directed his attention to Zamosc. The Polish Gene ral-in-Chief determined iijhih marching his! forces upon Brexac, in order to unfold the 1 enemy’s plan. If that was his chief resource the enemy would he forced to retreat beyond the Bug; and if they depended upon their communication w ith Lithuania, they must di rect their movement in order to cover Seal lec. The Russians, seeing that their plan was thus discovered, were at a loss how' to act, most oftheir communications with Lithuania being interrupted or cut off, &c. the convey ance of magazines being rendered impracti cable, they decided upon abandoning .altoge ther, their lincofcommunication, being con fident of regaining it on the Prussian side.— They, therefore; proceeded along the Prus sian frontiers, detached a small corps from Plozsk, and we expected every moment to see them cross the Vistula, to commence the campaign upon the left bank, having Prussia in the rear, and receiving provisions frogi that quarter. If Prussia maintained strict neu trality; the above woifld be rather a hazard ous plan, fiorall those who crossed the Vistula would be sacrificed. But it appears that the Prussian Govern-, ment has also thrown off the mask, and w ith out assisting with force of arms, it affords ev ery other kind of aid which it has refused to lendin our behalf. Tlie conveyance of arms, powder, saltpetre and money for the Government, and private individuals, and the assistance of those who wish to devote their bravery to our service, alf this is looked upon as high treason, and punished with the greatest severity. AU our letters are opened, our couriers intercepted; numbers of Russian spies (natives of Prussia) come atnongst\is and draw up their false re ports ; in fine, they tolerate any thing that may tend to our destruction, ii'after all this we should fail in so unequal a struggle, it w ill not he caused by the power of-the Coius sus, bnt by the treachery of those who, under the half-concealed exter or of neutrality, sur round us with blockades of which history cannot furnish another example. We have received information that the Russians intend crossing the Vistula (beh>vv Plozk) upon boats built in Russia. Swarms of Cossacks will shortly inundate the country, and perhaps cause a temporary interruption of tlie communication with our forces. However, our minds arc perfectly calm as to the result of the futurnjour strength rests upon the conviction of the justice of our cause. BELGIUM. In the Bclgic Congress, 27th of July, M. Lcbenu, tlie Minister .of Foreign Affairs,read tho terms of the offer of the crown made to Prince Leopold ; and his Royal Highness’s Reply, which may be found in our paper of (lav. On the same day he communicated to Coneross a treaty of Peace, which tiic Pleni potentiaries of the Great Powers suggested might be agreed on between Belgium and Holland. London, July 7. Wc received by express, at a lute hour last night flic Brussels papers of yesterday The question of tlie acceptance of the eigh teen propositions is still unsettled ; but it was expcctedlhat Tuesday’s discussion would be conclusive. The opposition arc fighting hard, and it looks now as if the majority in favor of the Prince will be smaller than Was at first calculated. We’are still assured, however that there will be a majority, in his favor. Acceptance of Prince Leopold- As vve announced this morning, by intelli hcnce received via Bermuda, Prince Leopold has actually accepted the crown of Belgium, under certain conditions. The London Times of the 28th June, contains Ins reply to the Belgian Deputation as follows : “ Gentlemen —l entertain a deep sense of the wish of which flic Keltic CYcjgtcss has made you the interpreters. ‘‘litis mark of confidence is to me the Uinre flattering, that it was not sought for on my part-” “1 Inman destinies do nol present a more noble and more useful task than that of bcin.r called to maintain the independence and con' solidutc the liberties of a nation. A mission of such high importance can alone determine me to abandon an independent position, and to separate myself from a country to which I j have been attached by ties and recollections the most scored, and which has given .me so many proofs of its benevolence and sympathy. “I accept then, gentlemen, the offer which you make, it being understood that it will be-! long to the Congress of the National Reprc- j sentatives to adopt the measures which can , aloue constitute the new state, and thus se cure for it the recognition of the European Powers. It is thus that the Congress will give me the power of devoting myself entirely to Belgium, and of consecrating to its well being and prosperity, the relations which I have formed in countries whose friendship is essential to it, and to secure it, as much as depends iqioii my co-operation, an independent and happy existence. “June 2<>, 18ftl.” From the Brussels Independent of July 5. The Russian Generals commissioned for the destruction of Poland seem to be struck with a singular fatality, iince the tragical death of Diebitsch, Cion. Sucken, Governor of Paris 1814; has gone mad; ltudigcr has be; n attacked with the cholera morbus ; Kreutz has fled before.Clilapowski,and Geis mar fans received sentence of ten years ban ishment in Siberia, for having suffered him self to be beaten by the Poles. is not this an excellent opportunity of retorting the Se bastian i-prqpfiecy, and fb niter, with almost a divine insolation, “The Russian Generals are destined to perish.” From the Georgia Journal. TO TIIE VOTERS OF TIIE STATE OF GEORGIA. In my first number, I have endeavored to demonstrate the political inequality which has been introduced in this State, by improve idcut legislation under the constitution. Ist. it lias been demonstrated that in 21 counties, 9tt2 souls arc entitled to one mem ber in the general assembly. 2d. That m 29 counties, L,546 souls, are entitled to one member. Bd. That in 24 counties, 2,414 are enti tled to one. 4th. That iir 2 counties, 2,556 are enti tled to one. W ill auy man in his senses assert, that 952 souls in theJ2l counties, are entitled to as much political influence as 2,414 in counties, or to 2,556 in ti e 2 counties? Un less it is asserted (hat 982 souls in the 21 counties, have as much intelligence and in tegrity as 2,556 in the 2 counties, it will be impossible to give the preseut state of things in this State a conscientious support. That no honest or intelligent man can make that assertion is 1 think manifest. The order ol things existing' in this is manifestly wrong, and vicious. It is not the object of ilie wri te! to explain Uowthe present order has been produced. It is sufficient to say it has been [iroduced by vicious legislation. And it is apparent that vicious legislation will perpet uate the evils that exist. That they do ex ist, and that tln-y arc of great magnitude is manliest. I propose then at the next elec tion, the voters be requested to indorse upon their tickets convention or no convention.— The members of the inferior courts arc earn estly requested to enforce this proposition. For this purpose it is respectfully submitted to the members of that court, to meet and en ter into resolutions to that effect, and cause it to be advertised in the most public places ot the county. This recommendation is especi ally made to the Inferior courts of the coun ties who voted for reduction, ami to all those who deem themselves to be Republicans, , whether reduction received a majority or not. If a majority of the votes shall be for conven tion, and the legislature shall refuse to pass a law calling a convention, 1 shall at the elec tion in 1882, recommend to the citizens of the counties who voted for convention in 1891, to vote for members to a convention to revise the constitution, and submit the revis ion to the general suffrage at the general elec tion in 1886, and if approved by a majority of the electors to become the constituting of the State. It is ftirfeer yecommendod to the next legislature t\>,suffer no member of the 21 counties, to receive more money from the treasury than the county he represents has paid into the treasury ‘the preceding year. This will operate to open the eyes of men who Ran bo reached only by their purses, and who cannot be convinced by any other ap peal. There is a majority of the counties which ptty more money into the treasury than their members draw from it. It is therefore presumable, that a provision of that kind may be introduced into the appropriation hill. There is no doubt that such a provision may be introduced in the House of Repre sentatives, but if tho majority of the Senate should refuse to asset to it, flic house will do well to adhere to the provision; and if the Senate choose to lose the bill rather than to pass it with such a provision in it, let it fall. The extent of the evil will be that the public officers will be one year w ithout salary, and I have no doubt that lliey have patriotism e noiigli to discharge their duties for that time, without salary. The members of the Legis lature will doubtless receive their pay from the county funds. It is respect fully submit ted to the Inferior courts of all the counties who are for reduction, to give the members of tiicir respective counties assurance of the payment of their wages from the county Innds, in the event that no appropriation shall be made at flic ensuing session for their pay. Before closing this number I must address a few words to the citizens of Chatham amt Habersham. I observe that Chatham conn tv gave a majority of vote* against reduction. 1 lus ts a strange vOt 9t Tllo county which pays tlie largest revchnc of any county in the -Mate, has dcgmred by tlat vote, that site is .tin en ,nftt her Wealth should be disposed ° ly counties who receive more money from the Treasury, than they pay into it. This cannot be tho deliberate sense of tlie reflecting part of the citizens of Chatham county. The county of Glynn, is the only Comity in the eastern circuit which voted a majority for reduction, and its member Mr. Hazzurd, voted against reduction. What has produced this unanimity i u the Eastern circuit? A regard to the interest of the cir cuit doubtless. Chatham county is the only county in the circuit tritich sends 3 member-.' to the lower house. Chatham has tl . r 7 sacrificed her own interest and the intcrr , * the State, to the supposed interest 0 f r Eastern circuit. Chatham county h as l( , tore shewn that it has voted under a * and Glynn county lias risen superior nrt"’ ly to the local interest oi the Eastern but to the local interest of Glynn, as county interest is generally u J stood. But Glynn county has acted ht real intelligence and Chatham county J i the want of it. It is certainly for the iur est of Chatham county, that taxes should 7" imposed and laws passed hy men wh o 7 pay those taxes and obey the laws; and7,; by tticn who receive monev out of the Tre - ury, and not to pay it in.' I h Ulllb j that, at the next election Chatham couj w til be found sustaining by her vote the ' eral interest of the State, and not thewafji e<\ interest of the Eastern circuit. The cn duct of Habersham, is not much less T prising than that of Chatham. With a|T illation of more than 19,000 inhabitants T has nothing to fear from reduction, at d’ c ? tainly ought not, to be disposed to permit 9* men in 21 counties, to have as niuchpo n c ' influence as 2,414 of her own citizens ‘ 'Fills us the case at present. May it confidently expected that Habersham,th next election wtll give a decided majoriti lor con vention, especially as one.of her mn bers" voted for reduction tho last LejfislahJ If a convention is called, it is' earn,.2 hoped that tlie constitution as revised by M convention, may lie submitted to the suflh* of the citizens and receive a majority o ftW votes, before it becomes a constitution.- Fins has never been done at May. former nc.. riod of our history. ■ The principal object for which a conven' tmn is required, is, to reduce the represent!' tion of the State. In New York where 'tiic population is more than three times that 0 Georgia, the Legislature is composed of 12' representatives and 82 Senators, h tjd State, vve have 161 representatives and V senators. In Pennsylvania whose pom,b turn t< nearly three times that of Geofoa they have but 93 representatives, (the sena’ tors not remembered.) Besides the reduc! non of the representation, there are other provisions o* tho ttAireiitnt;.,,, *l. .. , ;muiNion? oi me constitution that ii f *, mendment. In the States' of Massncli - : Connecticut, New lork and Virginia thwj have revised thotr constitutions. 'laFrancil they have rev iso.! and modified their const] tut ions and England, is now engaged in jjj salutary labor. Ail the attempts "at ati.iJ ment have had good effects, where there hi been time to discover those effects and therJ can be little doubt that the effeets will lie tJ same in this State, if the attempt is made.-l To sum up the whole of the foregoing fsctj 1. It lias been shown that 21 cuuntj having a representative population o£3Bsl have 42 members in tire general which is 1 member for 982 souls. I 2. i hat 29 counties having a roprestntitl ion of 184,545 souls, have 87 mcmbiniJ the general assembly, which is one ra,*! for 1,546 souls. 8. That 24 counties having a tepn-iJ tive population of 281,820 souls, IwJl members iu the general assembly. 4. That 2 counties having 25,583 have 10 members in the general assent! which is one member for 2,553 souls. I 5. That the 21 counties(includingthm* one?) draw from the public Trcasanjß 979 30, more than they pa- into it. I 6. I hat 52 counties having a repirscß tive population of 134,545 souls, tar I majority in the senate and house ofitjwjJ lativcs, although the population of said stfl ties is less than j of the representative lation of the State. I 7. That less than of the pqpulatiml the State governs the other § imlepcndd o< their will. Il’these facts.are notsuHiu to convince every person capable of coa ing ten, tliiit tlie constitution needs rev 4 they must be like Mr. Solicitor Caldtej Jury, inconrine'bhle. As’the constitute le amended by the Legislature, only ii ?j each branch, at hvo successive scssionsil man'll’ ,-:t that no change in the repreiHj tion will ever be effected by that body. I deed that clause which gives the logisiatl the power to amend it, is believed to bel worst provision i.i it. It has certainly I duced more harm than good, and vvilllbl be abolished whenever a convention iscaUl 1 hope party will not interfere with thisqw tion. When a constitution is to be trail party, ought to be silent. There isul tcfition at least on the part of the writer,* make any changes in the constitute■ called for by (he clearest principlesofr*B justice and political equality. At pit* neither reason, nor justice, or political en’B ty prevails in the State. Is there anyfokfl equality ift 932 souls having a legislatorhjH county, ami m another allow ing 2,556 to■ only one ? The same .political inequsht® nearly the same, exists in all the other M trusts which have been exhibited in tbisß the preceding iiurtn cr.
