All who within the last weok or to have visited Mr. tiengler'a oeserve.ily popular Circus, know how great Wallett is in the ring, bow clever are bis speeches, bow aparkllng hit wit, and how happy his Jokes; but tho select few who had the pleasure of being present at the social gathering oi the perlomiora connected with tho Cirous, at the Vittoila Hotel on Friday night, know that Mt. Wallott in the chair is lar greater thun "Wallott in tie ring. Ihe meeting itse f was very interesting, at tue outcome of the goncrous and gentlemaulf toolings and conduct ot the several por formers, and as it becamo an illustration ot how woll they stand in the estimation of Mr. Ilenvler bimself, who was present, and ot the public ol Hull, amonst horn they havosojonrnod for some months. It was, however, trouly interesting in teiug pro sided over by to genial and able a man as Mr Wal lett. It was, indeed, a treat never to be loreotten, to bear the speeches ol the chairman. They were remaikably clover, but not mora clover than wise. At he poured out words of wi-flom and eloquent uudor the impulse ot his large, generous heart, one became puzzlou which most to wonder at and admire, bis great knowledge, his romarkublo giltot expresion, the vast resources ot bis wit, his wouder lui tact, the glowing atundance of his fancy, or warmth aud heartiness of his desire to tee others hat py. As, however, pocdness precedes greatness, as the heart is better than the tongue, and a like begets like, 1 think the strength of bis wide human sympathy and kindness secured the warmest houiape, but at the same time that his generous heart was honored his splendid intellect and ereat learning were cordially admired. Mr Watiott's success as chairman on this occasion was as thorough as any success he ever achievod in circus or theatre, and as they were not blockheads, will not be I'or- totten by those who, as the phrase goes, had the appiness to ""it nnder him " The vice-chairman, Mr. Kevolti, and others wno too part in the proceed ing, well responded to the stronger and more bril liant Displays of the chan nan, wuo, being not on y goneious and witty himself, put tho cause ot gone ronty and wit in others. All went "as mnrril as main age bells," and the meeting throughout was one of unsual intorextand pleasure. It occurred to me that Mr. llenler mav. in concluding his season at Hull, without the slightest shade ot astrological superstition, ''thank his stars," not that bis catering bas been mere good luck on the contrary, bis faro has been substantial, and certainly well Cookeo.
