going to a neighbor's house on a visit, when she was either lost or met with foul treatment, and up to the present time has not been heard from.--The latter surmise seems to be the general belief. She was a daughter of a gentleman named Brown. The election of Delegates to the State Convention is passing off with some degree of excitement. The probability is, that Coffman, contingent; Gray, Union, and Lewis, Union, will be elected. The reference of the action of the Convention to the people will be carried by a considerable majority.

Fast driving. --Too much speed is worse than none at all. During the month now drawing to its close a desire to urge their steeds to an undue degree of swiftness has been most painfully apparent on the part of the jehu's who have control of the ribbous of the teams of high and low degree who navigate the streets of Richmond. The many narrow escapes might have well been made the subject of a "brief mention," but have been omitted under the idea that the practice would play itself out quietly.
