There is liotliieg ol tho sort now, save on extraordinary occasionak-one of which occurs this very evening. Our friend—every body’s Iriend— Jerbv MoKibbin, of the United States Hotel, kindly and liberally places his principal saloon at the disposal ol Mr. Hpsav Moaronn, this evening, and .we take K;for I granted that « all the world” (at Atlantic City,) will throng it, to hear a poem, just the length of a lecture, upon tho duty, propriety, necessity, and so on of Grumbling. At the Bame time, nobody down in Atlantic City has any occasion to grumble at “ mine host ” of the United States’ or any other of the nu merous well-appointed hostelries there. As regards- Mr. McKibbin, it is very fortu nate for him that, now nearly three years ago, he did not receive the nominationj which, with I his popularity, would have eventuated in his ] being elected to tho office of Sheriff. When the late Major No.vu was made Sheriff of the adjacent rowdy-ville ol New York, every One said, “He is safe to make his fortune In two years.” When the two yeara were over, Noah was much poorer than when he took office. How was this 1 He paid off the debts (and costs, sometimes heavier than the debts,) of the hulk of tho unfortunates in limbo, nnder his care, and sent the poor devils home, each with a ten-dollar gold piece in his hand. In a worldly point of view, this (t did not pay”— but there is a place where Jew and Gentile may lay up treasures which do not corrupt, and we doubt not that Major Noah, by his huffiand liberality, laid up a large future treasure there. Just so, we believe, had there been a Shorili MoKinni.v, would have been tho result in Philadelphia. Our capital friend J eeuv would have made many a sad heart happy in his Shrievalty, even though he was sure that doing so would leave email profits to himself) Well, at the United States Hotel, Atlantic City, this evening, Mr. Unxnr Mohfoed will deliver one of his telling social poems—the Subject being the popular one of Grumbling. Ho is a scholar, and a gentleman, and, more over—for wo know him well—one of the best readers or reciters we ever heaid. He will initiate a new excitement on the sea-side, and we heartily commend him to such of our friends as may ho down there. From timo to time, daring tho season, other popular lecturers may appear, if, as we anticipate,Mr. Moefped bo as successful as ho merits. The Meteoric Phenomenon* Tho Now York Herald, in publishing a numl ejr of newspaper and correspondents’ accounts of the meteoric phenomenon which took place on Friday night,' and which was notloed in {Saturday’s Press, publishes the following interesting editorial re marks : “At about a quarter before ten o’clock on Fri day evening, the atmosphere being very sultry, 'and no perceptible motion in the air, a light oloud appeared In the west, from whtoh a blue-tintod luminous globe shot opt, wbioh at the first glance suggested to the Speetators the Idea of an artificial fire-work. Instantly it lost its globular form, bursting, like an immense skyrocket, into portions. The first two are represented by one of enroorroepopdegjtsaf resembling brilliant illumi nated chandeliers, with innumerable jets of purple flame; the others were gjobplar and comparatively small, appearing rather as the tails ot the first. They maintained their relative distance? as they flew athwart the sky from west to east,-occupying in their flight something like a minute. Whether they vanished Ju atr or foil ou the land rr sea«e have not yet ascertained. About n minute after tbely passage .a detonation was heard, as from a piece of ordnance; but whether it proceeded from tho bursting of t|ie meteor is a pifttter ot conjec ture. «* One very curious optics! delusionyldeh {fgavp rise to is worthy hf remark. To t|re spectator#' t« appeared to be no higher than from & quarter to half a mile, and to be almost directly over their beads, and yet, when the fact 1b considered that it was witnessed under almost identical oircum itanoes at Philadelphia, somenioety mites south wept of Now York; at New Haven, eighty m»l«s east; at Barnegat, Jorjy miles south, and at New burg, on the Hudson, sixty tnlles ngrth, ft will be perceived that the idea of its lnsignlGoaut eleva tion was most delusive. It must have been at p.n immense' elevation to have been seen at these widely remote points, and to have presented at all of thojp the B&mo appearance of being so nearly In the Vefiitth “It is also to be remarked in connection with the meteor, that for the previous t»a or three.- sights brilliant flashes of the aurora borealis have illumined the northern skies—a most unusual di*' play in the dog-days, and one which we only look tor In tfco late Fait and winter months. The aurora is generally to indicate 6l#«r cold weather, bpt In this eaw it hu been flowed by WVur D uofffMalotiDg ' oar prevtouflj-ooncalvecl potions.

For geverul years past he has been very infirm, bat continued his occasional visits to the office until toward the close of the last.

The Postmaster General is about to issue an im portarit circular to postmasters, requiring, among other things, that, in all oases, postage stamps, and not meDey, he used In the prepayment of postages, and prohibiting the use of the datlog stamp in cancelling the postage stamps. A neglect to can cel postage stamps effectually, or to postmark let ters plainly, will be regarded as a cause for serious censure if not of removal, and all postmasters are required to report every instance of such neglect to the appointment office. Instructions are also to bo ismed in execution of the reoent provision of Congress for the return of letter# to the writers thereof, when they are not taken out of tbe office by those to whom they are addressed.
