While the generally comfortable condition of our work- img classes, as we stated, may not lead to | the immediate adoption of Relief Associations | on the plan we mentioned, yet the high prices of all the necessaries of life complained of in England. are as nothing to the rates we are compelled to pay here; and we therefore lay before our readers some details of the English co-operative system. In the beginning of 1565, when the increased Gearness of living was pres-ing severely upon all persons with fixea and moderate incomes, balf a dozen members of the English post of- fice determined to try whether by buyiag in comparatively large quantities, and dividing the articles so bought amongst themselves, they could not getsupplied more cheaply than in the ordinary manner. In order that purchases might be mace upon the lowest terms, it was settled tha: all psyments should bein ready money Theexperiment was commenced with tea, and the price was reduced by about a shilling per pound. Other articles were pur- chased. In the course of amonth or twoa little society was formed. and after much anx- fous deliberation as to whether the expense could be met. a small store-room near to the General Post Office was engaged. Other de- partments of the civil service, and eventually persons not im the civil service at all, were ad- | Mitteu to the society. A regular committee of | management was formed: and by degrees the society bas grown t> the dimensions now at- tained by the Civil Service Supply Association, i with a large store, at which can be purchased almost if not quite every article of food which iS Bot of a perishable character, as well as most things which are required in house- keeping. Here at the present time upwards of $100,000 4 year is taken over the counter, Uf tea, about 50,000 pounds a year are sold; of coffee, nearly 20,000 pounds; of moist sugar, 100,000 pounds: of loaf sugar, 30,000 pounds. of candles 50,0 pounds; of rice, 23,000 pounds; and of soap, 120,000 pounds. Members may buy in any quantity so long as they payin | ready money, for not an hour's credit is given even to the most influential. The prices at the store are abont twenty per cent. lower than the usual retail rates. But in addition to the store, where necessarily but comparatively few manufactured articles are sold. there are nearly one hundred firms in e:ther wholesale or retail busimess connected with the asso- ciation. From the wholesale firms the mem- bers obtain articies at wholesale Prices; from the ordimary shops they purchase at a reduc- tien varying from ten to twenty per cent. The assesiation numbers xt present more than four thousand members, and bas professional men of its own, physicians, surgeons, lawyers: tock-brokers, and architects, who have spe- cial and low rates of charges for the members. The finances of the ass oviation appear to be in a satisfactory state. At the recent half-year- ly meeting it was announced that there was & balance in hand of about $4,0w0. Of course some capital is necessary for the economical snagement of the business, but the rules pro- Vide that any accumulation beyond the amount required tor this purpose shall be absorbed ina still further reduction of the price of the arti- cles sold at the store. Itis claimed that by this co-operative sys- tem the eost of family supplies may be re- duced at least 2) percent. but we think the experiment has net been carried far enough to establish that fact. The heretofore experi- ments in this way have certainly proved fail- | ures. i THE FOBTIETH U. 8. REGULARS. | The 40th Infantry, one of the new regiments notice. authorized by the act passed at the late session of Congress, is being rapidly recruited. The headquarters has been established in this city. The following is a list of the officers of the regiment who have received their appoint- ments: Colonel N. A. Miles, Lieat. Colonel Edward W. Hinks, late General, commanding & division in the Army of the James: Major 0. | E. Compton, late of the 33d U. S. colored troops; Captain Wyllis Lyman, First Lieut. F. w. n, Second Lieut. Walter S. Long. Brevet Captain E. T. Lamberton, First Lieut. le7th U. S. colored troops, is now acting as Adjutant of the regiment. | ENGLISH OPERA —We have seldom seen in | this city @ larger and more brilliant audience | than was assembled at the National Theater | last evening to witness the presentation of Balfe’s delightful opera of - The Bohemian | Girl” by the Richings tr Miss Richings was charming as “ Arline,” and while she has lost pone of the grace and vivacity which have made her celebrated as an actress, she seems to have in lyric ability. Her voice, as sweet and pure in tone as heretofore, seems to have increased power, and the manner in which she sang «1 dream't that I dwel’t in marble hails,” and other melodies, elicited enthusiastic ap- plause. Mr. Campbell, (baritone,) as « Count Arnheim,” gave entire satisfaction, and bis song, “The heart bow'd down by weight and eare,”” hasseldom been sung better. Mr. W. Castle is an excellent tenor, and sang with spirit and feeling. The + Floretine’ of Mr- Wylie fair, and the « Devilshoof” of Mr. E.

Tobey, the former being a candidate on the Radical ticket and the lat- ter on the Jobnson-Swann ticket. Both are using all means in their power to defeat each | other, and the result is looked upon with con- siderable interest The Western Maryland railroad extension to this place bas been put under contract, and tbe work is to begin on or about the first of next month, wagons, catts and working im plements having arrived here for that pur- pose. The Washington county road, which is to connect with the main stem ef the Baltimore and Ohio, progresses slowly but surely. A considerable portion of this road, which is only eighteen miles in langth, has already been graded, and early in the spring we can look for the «iron horse” im that airection. When these roads are finished, and with the one now in use—the Cumberland Valley—Hagerstown willsurpass any city in the State, outside of Baltimore, for railroad facilities. «By Gov. SWANN AND THE PoLice Coxmis- SIONERS —The reception of evidence for the defense was commenced yesterday in the police investigation before Governor Swann, at An- napolis. It was intended mainly to prove that boxes used at the late election were the same as those used for sever7l years past, and that the boxes for rejected vptes were sent to all the warde, and that twenty-seven were returned with rejected votes. Mr. Taylor, Secretary of the Police Board, testified that the Cormis- sioners had observed the same rules and regu- lations that were in force at previous elections, including that when Mr. Swann was elected Governor. That they sent to the polls boxes for the rejected votes: that they gave the judges no instructions, but referred them tothe laws for the definition of their duties: that the Judges were recommended by the best citizens of the respective wards, as bad been the usual custom: and tbat in the appointment of police- men the Commissioners had pot been guided by politics farther than to require loyalty to the Government. Marshal Carmichael was examined, and testified to the orders issued to the police. Commissioner Hindes was in | attendance, and proffered as a witness, but the counsel for the prosecution objected: and it was finally agreed that the Governor would examine the Commissioners in their office in Baltimore. A large number of witnesses were examined, and a considerable mass of testi- mony was addnced to rebut the evidence against the Commissioners) The examination was continued last night, and will probanly jast through to-day ATTENTION, SIR KNIGHTS —ATTEN.

BaLTmMorE, Oct. 31.—The examination of the charges against the Police Commissioners was continued until 6 o'clock last night, and resumed again this morning at 10 o'clock. The defense expect to get through their evi- dence by noon, waen there will probably be some rebutting “vidence introduced by the prosecution. Commissioner Hinds was cal!ed to the stand yesterday by the counsel for the defence, in order that the Governor might question him, but he declined doing so, and said if he desired to examine the Commissioners he would do so at their office in Baltimore. Some conversation took place last night rel- ative to the argument of the case. Mr. Alex. ander, for the Commissioners, announced his intention to argue the case. Mr. Latrobe urged the importance of disposing of the case with- out delay. He said they represented fourteen thousand disfranchised people of Baltimore: time pressed, and if the Commissioners were removed, as he hoped and believed they would be, there was much to be done, and many changes to be made before next Tuesday, the day of election. The counsel for the defense said they did not wish to delay unuecessarily. Mr. Alexander said they represented the Union men of Baltimore, and the Union sentiment of the eountry. The Governor remarked that in order to accommodate counsel, he would sit up ull 12 o'clock to-night, if necessary. FROM CENTRAL AMERICA. New York, Oct.31.—The steamship Arizona, from Aspinwall, arrived this morning. She brings $1,250,000 in treasure. The French war steamer Talisman arrived at Panama frem Mexico on the lith instant, witb a large number of sick and wounded sol. diers. Some of them were placed in the foreign hospital there, and the Talisman sailed again for Mexico.

All-Hallow is the first of November, thas called by the common folks, no doubt be- cause it is “All Saints’ Day” im the Roman Catholic Church calender, while the following day is “All Souls’ Day.” ‘The first festival arose fron the consecration of the Pantheon | in the seventh century to Cbristiaa worship, and ite dedication by Pope Boniface 1V to the Virgin Mary and 8ll the martyrs. Then the ceremony occurred on the Ist of May, but sub- sequently the anniversary was changed to the Ist of November. The «Feast of All Saints” is still observed by the Roman and the Apglican Churehes, in memory of all who have not other days assigned to the commemo- | tation of their virtues. The second of Novem- ber, “All Souls’ Dsy,”’ is celebrated by the Catholic Chufch on behalfof the souls in pur- gatory, for whose release tue prayers of the faithtul are that day offered uv and mass is performed. This ceremony is believed to have | originated in the ninth century, but was not generally observed until the tenth centary. On All-Hallow-Eve the young folks are ac- customed to try their fortunes in various modes, the main object of their peep into the future being generally in connection with their matrimonial prospects; such as maidens eating an eggshell fullot salt, and then retiring back- wards to bed, when. if they do not speak to any one, they will dream of their future partner: or filling the mouth with water and the hand full of salt, and running around the square, any name they have called being that of the prospective husband. Peculiarly the hours are given to little cozy gatherings of intim: friends, xmong whom innocent jest and livel Tepartees circle gaily around. Nuts are burned, apple parings are :wirled imto semi-initia’ seeds are absorbingly counted. and all the gs trials are done that are so thrilling to each Single couple, and, mayhap, quite unappre- | ciated by the nusympathizing single bodies of | an uncertain age. Young America robs cabbage gardens and throws his captured vegetables into the doors | ot his neighbors, or tes them np to the knob, which he considers a capital joke. This prac- tice,as the poet says, is more honored in the breach than in tle observance. <a ° Ln CRumrxaL Court.
