Tiiis far-famed establishment visits our town on next Wednesday, the 17th inst., niul from present indications will call out a greater crowd than was eve collected together here at one time. The immense tont, the largest in the world, holds nearly ten thousand people covering two acre3 of ground. The performers, male and female, are selected from among the highest in their profession. Besides the ordinary feats of riding, the exhibition gives a correct idea of the ancient classic games of tho Greeks and Romans, and displays the animated scenes of' gladitorial contest and dating as exhibited in olden time. Great curiosity :s manifested to sec it, and as but one opportunity will be afforded, our citizens must take early advantage of it. The Hippodrome will enter town in grand procession, on Wednesday morning.

Xicctas Choniates, a historian of Constantinople, who flourished in the latter

part of the twelfth century, gives a detailed

account of thc various public monuments of Byzantium, and, after minutely describ

ing the bronze statue of Ancmodulion, [the

servant of thc winds,] proceeds to say: "But, nevertheless, this surpassingly beautiful work of art they delivered up to the metal founders, in the same manner as thev also disposed of that statue of a horseman in the. [square of] Taurus, placed on a pedestal, (erected under it, in the form of a table,) of heroic figure, and of size stupendous, whom some used to declare to be Joshua, the son of Nun—deriving the conjecture from the circumstance that that hero, with his hands extended towards the setting sun, seemed to command it to stand still on Gibecn but most men considered it to be Bcllerophon, who had been reared in Peloponnesus, and who was the rider of Pegasus. For that horse, as is also told of Pegasus, when he was running freely without restraint over th.e plains, safely rejected a rider, inasmuch as he travelled by means of wings as well as feet. Indeed, a certain ancient report, which has come down even to our own time, used to be in every one's mouth, to the effect, that the left hoof of the fore foot of this horse there was concealed the ir^ags of a man wnich, some said, was the figure of one belonging to the Venetian race—others, of a man ot those western nations which were not allies of the Romans, or belonging to the Bulgarians. Xevcr, therefore, was his hoof very firmly attached, [to the pedestal?] lest at some time those things, which were concealed within should be taken from it.— Yet, in later days, after the horse and the rider were broken in pieces, and thrown into thc fire, a bronze statue was discovered to be buried in the hoof of the horse, clad in a cloak, after the style of the ordinary woi llen cloak. But as th.e Latins cared but too little for those portents which were sculptured on this [equestrian] statue, they threw that also into the tire."

The pedestal of this statue, we under

stand, is still standing at Constantinople,

and the inscription contained in the statue that once retrd upon it is still remembered,

DE F0R0 TATRIU.

In the midst of the hall of the market place [of Taurus] there is an equestrian statue, which some think to be Joshua the son of Xun, others, Bcllerophon. It was, in fac^, brought from Antiocli the Great. Moreover, the stone pedestral of that statue has inscribed upon it an acconnt of the Russians who, in the latest times, will destroj" the city, to which occurrence that bronze image of a man, which is seen placed there, bound and kneeling, offers but a very small obstacle. In addition to tins, the left foot of the great horse predicts [by an in~e:iption] thc same thing which was inscribed on it, [the pedestal.J The great hollow column likewise, and the Xerolophus, [literally the dry hill, a pile of stones in a certain locality of Byzantium,] declare the final overthrow and sieges of the city.

The issue between influence and justice has been boldly made and fairly met.

The case was fairly presented. Xo very essential testimony was excluded. Xo important evidence was manufactured.

1VAR IX EUROPE.

Europe lias beeni th6 theatre of many tragedy. Her past history is one of blood. We read of little else than war—war—war. The map is spotted over with red flags, ki.trking thc place Tshere tliouisaiuis met .and fewer parted—and what lias been tl 'fruit of all the slaughter upon her gory fields? Have the interests of humanity been promoted by all the waste of blood and treasure? I A writer in an English review, after giving an account of the plagues that desolated

Europe, and swept oft millions, puzzles himself about the final cause of such a desolating scourge. Casting about for some valuable purpose to be answered by an overruling Providence, he sought relief in the surmise, that perhaps the human race had become afflicted with some vice or pravity that was transmissible, and a wise Providence had determined to exterminate millions, in mercy to posterity. Wo must look to Providence if we would iind any sensible purpose in the conflicts of modern Europe, from the war? of Charlemagne to those of Napoleon. An occasional change of dynasty, or slight alteration of boundary, or a settling down into the same state of equilibrium, has succeeded the most terrible slaughter of men. One legacy is left bv all these conflicts.—a tax upon thc toil and sweat of millions, to pay the expenses of the crimes their tyrants have committed.

England has usually taken a principal part in these conflicts on thc Continent and what has she gained by it? Nothing but a reputation for bravery, which she had before, and didn't need. The thirty-year war that ended with the fall of Napoleon, left England nothing but a harvest of debt and depravity. It is not probable that tho state of Europe is any more to the mind and interest of England than if she had never sacrificed a man or a dollar in tho conquest ot Napoleon.

What is to be the result of thc present stru^'We? Why will it not end as most precedin"- ones have, in nothing that would not have taken place without it? The success of arms will not materially change tho face of Europe. If the present combination lasts, the Czar may be checked—not con-' qucred but if it is of any duration, the elements will change places, unless the futuro is unlike the past. A fruitless conflict is to be had, which will end in a drawn battle and a crop of heroes.

Thc wars on this continent, and in which the United States were parties, have been insignificant, compared with those of Eur pe. We have not been baptised and nursed blood and every contest has been followed bv consequences beneficial to mankind.—Lou. Ucm.

TIN: KCLIPSI:.

An annular eclipse of the Sun, as we havo beforo observed, will occur on the 2Gdi of the present month. An Exchange paper thus speaks of th.e matter:

It will commence at forty-three minutes past 4 o'clock in the afternoon and continue two hours and four minutes, until about twenty-three minutes before 5 o'clock.— In thiseclipse the apparent diameter of the moon compared with that of the sun will be about as 18 to 10, and consequently some nine-tenths of thc sun will be covered. The path of the eclipse wiill cross the western part of the AtlanLic ocean, Massachusetts, Maine,Xew Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Upper Canada, Lake Superior, Northwest and Washington Territories, and thence through the southern edge of British America to tho Pacific ocean.

The eclipse will, however, be visible to a greater or less extent, in all parts of North America cxceutiiiLr Guatemala and the southwest part of Mexico. It will also bo visible in Ireland, Greenland, Nothern Russia, parts of Sweden and Norway, the eastern part of Asia, the West indies, and in the nothern countries of South America.

jT-fTAn Exchange states that Barnum ha?) proposed to George Law and Commodore Vanderbilt to form a partnership for taking the war off the Sultan of Turkey's hands, finishing it by contract, engaging to bring it to an honorable Completion.

There is as much good sense as wit in the proposed idea.

THE CONVENTION.—We hope our friends throughout the State will not forget to send C2 O delegates to th.e Democratic Convention on the 2 ftli inst. The resignation of Judge Roache, and the duty of ihe Convention to nominate his successor, will give additional importance to the proceedings. Let delegates be appointed from all the counties.
