According to this morning's jfefM, there was a good attendance- at the «ireus last evening, and the performance was as successful as usual. Now, the fact is, the circus was not open at all, and there was no performance whatever. So much for " pro phetic reporting." But, after all, it is not much to be wondered at that these mistakes should be committed almost daily, lor the News, I am told, which is loud in its condem nation of " free sweepings," employs nothing else itself. Its chief police and shipping reporter combines with those occupations tiat of run boy for the paper of an evening, lnis, no doubt, is a highly economical arrangement so far as the proprietor is concerned ; but it is in my opinion a disgrace to even such a -wretched sheet as that of the Morning News. However, as really very few people have the advantage (?) of reading that erudite and Cleverly written journal, they are spared the perusal of much bad English, balderdash, and Yocel-cum-Fox twaddle.—l am, &c, Anti Humbug-,

WINES OF PALESTINE.

E. Ferguson, M.A., pastor of an Independent Christian Church which meets at Blackfnars- Btreet, Glasgow, N. 8., made a tour in Palestine in 1862, at the time the Prince oi Wales and Dr. Stanley were travelling through that country. Pa=tor _. Ferguson, M,A, is a teetotaller ; but he has the candour to tell us, in a book he has written, that wishing to test by a practical experiment the opinion of some teetotallers on the wines of Scripture, he procured Hebron wine, Jerusalem wine, and Bethlehem wine, and found, rather to his surprise, that they were alcoholic—Com municated.
