The supper room is to be thrown open at 10 and is to be closed at 2 o’clock. The supper is to be furnished by Downing ata cost of $2200. The house isto be lighted by Stoutenburgh & Cox, in their best style. They will furnish no less than 350 lights, forming with the gas lights a complete blaze of nearly 500 lights in the ballroom. There are to be 6 golden chandeliers on the stage and 2 over the pit, all suspended by gold ropes. Atthe entrance to the boxes are two golden cande Jabras, each for twelve lights, resting en gol- den pillars. There isa splendid astral lamp at the back of each box in the first tier ; six hanging astral lamps on the procenium pillars, and 16 bracket golden candelabras projecting from the sides of the oak chamber. And this, we believe, comprises a complete outline of the decorations and arrange- ments of the houze asit is now. What it will be on this eventful night, our readers must loek into the Herald of to-morrow for a full description thereof. We know that among the elite who will be present on this joyous occasion, there will be the Brevoorts, Motts, Livingstons, Cheesmans, Hones, Astors, Washington Irvings, Halleck, Dr. Francis,Lord Morpeth, Earl Mulgrave, officers of the army and navy, Com. Perry, General Officers of the U. S. Artillery, Mayor and family, Judge Kent, Judges of the Courts, Chancellor, &c. Such is the house, its appearance—decorations— programme of the performances, skeleton of the company, ete. &c. To-moryow, in our regular daily paper, we shal give the details of the ball up to 120’clock, with about twenty splendid engravings from drawings made by the best artists in the eity for this especial occasion; and on which no less than nine of the first engravers of this city or any other city have been at work for the last two weeks, representing all the tableaux —the coup d’ail of the interior of the house; a head of Boz made from a drawing since his arrival at Boston, &c. And at nine o’clock, we shall issue a second edition on very fine paper, containing all these engraviogs, and the full details of the ball up to its close. Therefore look out for the Herald of to-mor- Tow morning. Dickens's First Day and Evening In New York, For ence in his life, at least, Boz has reason to be thankful for a wet day. Forhad it not rained yes- terday from daylight till dark, the Sabbath would have becn no day of rest to him, and he would have had to sxclaim in the words of the poet: “ Een Sunday shines no Sabbath day for me.” amieble lady occupied their snug litle parlor, “up three pair o° stairs,” in the Carlton, till near dark. Boz was very busily engaged in writing until three, when he and his lady dressed for dinner, ordered a hack, came quietly down stairs about five o’clock, and were drawn to Cadwallader Colden’s, where they dined and spent the evening with a werry recherche party. On Saturday evening, after he had dressed and dined, Boz was literally besieged with the members of the Committee, whose name appears to be “legion.” The majority of them called on him out of curiosity ; but some few on business, He received them with a naivette peculiarly his own, which amu- sed a few fashionables, but on all his suave manne: and ripe blunt good humor left a favorable impres- sion. His manners are as charming, original, and humorous as his writings, and will delight all who see and know him as much as his works have done. Boz wishes to see no visitors till after the ball. On Tuesday he takes possession of the reception draw- ing room of the Carlten, and on that day commences his first levee.

It will be illustrated with more than twelve beautiful engrav- ings, by eight or ten of the first artists. An Extra Henaxp will be published at 9 o’clock to-morrow morning, with the full particulars of the ball up to its cloee. This edition will be printed on super- fine paper, and sold at 4 cezts per copy by wholesale, and 64 ceats by retail. fence PEE Se The Great Boz Ball To-Night. It is needless to add at this time, that the Boz Ball to night, at the Park, will be the most brilliany eflair that has been given in any part of thiscoun tty for the last ten years. The sale of tickets of course hasbeen closed,and exactly 1006 have been sold—no more—no less.— ‘Therefore future purchasers will do well to look afier counterfeits. These 1006 tickets will admit precisely 2212 pereons on the floor of the house— no moreno less. The doors of the Park are tobe opened at half past 7 o’clock, and Bez isto arrive in the house precisely at a quazter past 9. This is official. Outside the theatre, the accommodations for the ladies will be admirable; an awning reaches from the theatre covering the steps and whole side walk te the curb stone; they step out ofa carriage onto aplatform covered with green baize, and so through ‘the lobbies, and in through the main box entrance, as atthe firemen’s ball, the whole of which is co- vered with green baize down to the dancing floor So much tor the outside. Ia the inside the accommodations will also be su- perb. On the lower tier of boxes, every seat has been covered with white muslin, with gold fringe and baize placed for the feet of those in the front circle. The saloons and green room have also been fitted with great taste and expense, and with an eye to the comfort and convenience of all. The arrange- ments for hats, cloaks, &c , and the ladies’ retiring apartments, are admirably contrived. Se much fot comfort. The decorations are very magnificent ; and on this alone Mr. Simpson hasexpended $2500. The dome over the pit is covered with bunting, festooned, and a golden rosette in the centre. ¥ The gallery part of the house is hid by bunting and statues representing Apollo, the nine muses, Cu- pidand Py:che, and other ornaments. In front of tier are placed portraits of all the Presidents, Taveaonl ts the htiury enti ete Revolution, teing in the centre. In front of the third are placed shields, with the arms of cach State painted on them, and other ornaments. The whole of the sixteen boxes of the seeond tier are fit- ted up with red striped drapery to represent tents, each curtain having a blue ground in the corner, with 26 stars thereon. In front of the second tier are placed medailions, ornamented with wreaths, on which are painted, Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Vicholas Nickleby, Curiosity Shop, * Barnaby Rudge, * Complete Works of Boz, &c.” ‘These are interapersed with eight large stars also surrounded with wreaths,and in the centre is a por- trait of Boz, surrounded by a wreath, surmounted by a golden eagle holdiag a laurel crown in his beak. ‘There are also interspersed around the front of the second tier 14 figures after the antique. Over the oraaments on the third tier are 24 emall flags—half representing the stars and stripes, and half the Union Jack. On che prosceniam the pillars are covered with striped bunting, and abovethem are silk ban- ners with appropriate devices ; portraits of Boz are on two of them. The front of the orchestra is di- vided into five golden compartments, with wreaths in the centre, the whole festooned with wreaths, w asare indeed the fronts of every tier of boxes.

All the fifteen pillars svpport- ing the second tier of boxes are covered with gold tissue worked muslin, and gold slabs are placed in froat of each box compartment. These, with innu- mierable wreath, festoons of flowers, and flags, form the decorations in front of the proscenium. ‘The stage decorations and errangements will be the most chaste and beautiful that can be imagined. ‘Tie stage has been widened till it extends to sixty feet in widsh, and thrown back almost to the wall inthe Marine Corps there are fifty-eight officers, Colonel Commanéant, Lieutenant Colonel, 1 First Lieutenants, Majors, 4 Second Lieutenants, There are now but sixty-six vessels of war in our Navy.

Even the grave and long visaged sons of Galen have caught the in- fection, and the whole medical body buras with an All over the country the medical schools seem inspired with new life and energy, and in this metropolis in par- ticular, the “faculty” are agitated in an extraordi- nary degree.

Da.

It is literature. Wisdom and wit, surgery and pathos, science and humor, are marvellously blended in one unique and extraordinary whole. The reader is amused and instructed, edified and affected in one breath. In fact, this lecture will not suffer in comparison with some of the most finished produc- tions of Boz. Dr. Morr attempts the same vein, buthe fails. Dr. Srevens beats himhollow. Both are imitators of the illustrious Abernethy, who was the great originator of the Samivel Weller style of scientific instruction ; the first to smooth the aspe- rities of surgery with the magic touch of wit and humor. But the imitators don’t follow pari passu You laugh at De. Morr—with Dr. Srevens. Dr. Morr labors hard for ten minutes to excite your risibility, and unless you're very ill-natured you must reward the good old man with a smile. With a single phrase Dr. Sreveys sets your sides aching for half an hour afterwards; you can’t, for the life of you, smother your laughter. Yet the rival heroes of the scalpel are not badly matched. Dr. Morr, to be sure, is most egotistical —Dr. Srevens most eccentrie; Dr. Morr most pom- pous—Dr. Srxveys most playful ; but both are equally scientific, equally dexterous, have been equally suc- cessful. Dr. Srevens has not, we believe, made the grand tour, and is not on intimate terms with the royal family of France; here, Dr. Morr has the de- cided advantage : but, after careful reflection, we think we are right in placing them on the same le- vel. To the Lancet we refer the public for the full details of their ecientific gladiatorship. And do we err in saying that a great revolution now shakes the body medical? Is it not a new and interesting spectacle to witness the great surgeons of the day descending from their stilts, and graciously walking inthe midst of their fellow men, sseaking notin the unintelligible jargon of their art, but even in the vernacular, mingling poetry with physic, and the sallies of wit with the sayings of wisdom? Thus every man will soon be his own physician. Let any non-professional man read Dr. Srevens’ lecture the Lancet, and he will see the whole subject «8 plain as a pike-staff. Let this system of popular lecturing, aided by an independent press like the Lancet, continue, and quackery will soon follow its victims, and rest quietly in the grave.

We will not yield to the hope of some that Boston is to rival our Empire City. Deeming the subject im- portant, and hearing of this communication, Mr. Buchanan readily gave us a copy. The following is the Secretary’s reply :— ‘Taeasuny Derantment, February 9, 1842. Sin: In reference to the inquiry contained in your commu- nication of the 15th ultimo, asking “whether in the event of the line of her Mojesty’s Royal Post Office Steam Packets extending their route from the Havana to Halifax, any construction of the Navigation Laws of the United ‘States would interdict such Mail Packets sto; ing to deliver letters and land gers at Savannah, Charleston and New York ; and alone take on board at those ports, passengers and letters to be delivered ever to the United States Post Office.” 1 have the honor to state that I know of no provisien in the Laws mentioned forbidding the prosecution of the enterprize above refer. edte.

W. FORWARD. Janes Bucttaxan, Erg. British Consul, &c. of N.Y. The establishment of this line of steamers will be of the highest interest to all the connections of New York with the South and the whole West Indiee.— The number of visiters reciprocally visiting Havana and New York will’ be imensely increased. Ame- ricans will go to Havana in winter—and the West Indians will all visit New York in summer. The springs at Saratoga; and Niagara Falls will receive ye accession of visiters, each summer. An Italian Opera will be established permanently in New York during the summer or autumn, having its locality in Ha and New Orleans during each winter. Verily, verily, the world is becoming one vast capital—one magnificent city, united by steam in all and in every direction. Mvircat Movaments.—Brabam, the unrivalled artist, is still at Boston, Providence, or down east, astonishing and delighting his audiences. He has been very succesful in his eastern trip.

They have been highly praised in Boston Signor De Begnis is waiting patiently till the Bod inundation pass away into the ocean of the past be- fore he will give a ‘‘ grand concert, vocal and instru- mental.” When the Signor moves at all ia cold weather, he moves with efficiency, and makes him s:lf, heard, felt, and seen. At present he is busy looking at the passing waves of human life, from the stand he has taken, ona high and and pictu- reaque rock, on the shores of time. He has a firm hold, and no freshet, of Boz or otherwise, can dis- lodge him from his position. Seguin and his troop is still at New Orleans.

Ta the “ Brother Jonathan” of ast week, a very ob- scure weekly paper, we find the reply of Fenimore Cooper to Watson Webb, the man of refinement, who prelers to have his name on the list of highly respectable Bankrupts than on the Boz ball Commit- tee. We give the fo'lowing choice bits, for the benefit of our extended circulation, because in the “* Jonathan” it could only be seen by a few old wo- men in short clothes. ‘Lhey are amusing. Lerrea rrom J. Fesimone Cooren. There are, as in common with Mr. Webb's logic, several self-evident non sequiturs in the the proposition itself, but we shall treat the subject as it is evidently meant, and not gs it may happen pees expressed through any confusion in the writer’s * * * * * Mr. Webb is not an instructed writer. He knows very little, in general, of any of the subjects of which he treats. Although he may have the reverse of “Sun grand talent pour le silence,” he has “* un grand talert pour lignorance.” 1 remember to have seen an_editorial apology, for some theological blunder, a few years since, in the Courier, ia which the satis- factory reason for the mistake was urged that ‘' we” did not know that Episcopalians claimed to be Pro- sestants, : * * * * » Mr. Webb’s Ghee libel on me, is for saying I have written a book abusive of my own country, with a view to make it sellin England. The gist of the libel is in the motive. It is not easy to conceive a more atrocious charge against a literary man. The lawyer will be surprised to learn that the only justi- fication offered oa trial, was the book itself. Any per- son acquainted with England will smile at the no- tion that the extract which follows, written with a special view to ob:ain favor in that country! Per- haps a more offensive idea cannot be presented to the class of Baglisy novel readere, in general, than an assumption of social equality on the part of Ame- rica. I shall never basely abandon the rights of an author to condemn or stigmatize whatever he may cenccive merits reprobation in cociety, whether it fsppes to be indigenous or not; but Idefy any man to show a line in Home As Found that might not have been written by one who has the best interests of America uppermost in aig mind. * * . Iwill now merely add, that Mr. Webb’s whole ar- ticle, as it ia.connected with facis, is replete with mis-statements, as atrocious as isthe character of the extracts I have here exposed. He says, among other things, he knows me well. Now, sir, my ac- quaintance with Mr. Webb is exceedingly s! ight, and has been confined to some eix or eight occasions or interviews, most of which has taken place in the streets, or in public. Mr. Webb understands me, about as well as he understands law, theology, and pan he quotes. The articles of the New World, that were published and sent to all the jurors and grand jurors, at the Oisego circuit of 1840, are also a series of falsehoods, for which Mr. Benjamin, the editor, and Mr. Winchester, the publisher, shall yet be responsible, let who may have written them. One of the falsehoods is ofa character so vile, that I will take this occasion to contradict it. 1am charged with having delineated a widow lady of this village, in Home As Found, in revenge for her not having called on my family, on its returr to its place. The pet, eet would be base enough, but the motive is such as ought only to be attributed to a wretch. I believe—nay, I know, for I heard them so express themselyes—that Mr. Cuoper’s analysis of the book of Fonda, induced many who had fallen into the er- ror of believing that there were analogies in the facts of the suppositions and the real character to justify this supposed identity, to chang ir minds.’ Seve- e their minds. ral have frankly admitted their misconceptions of the statements of the books, and one or two have been honest enough to say that they can only ac- count for their own impressions, by supposing that they wished to think in the way they had. As to the lady meant, it is no secret here. So far from the atrocious calumny of the New World being true this lady and my family have been on the most kind and friendly terms from the time the latter entered the village down to the present time. * *. . * * * While the jury was out, the negociation for the Tetraction of the second hbel was in progress, On this business, after dark, Mr. Crippen, the District Attorney, and Mr. Bowne, one of my counsel, went to Mr. Webb's room. They were preceded by a man whom they did not recognise, until Mr. Webb’ door opened, when he proved to be the crier of the court. ‘The crier manitested a jitile embarrassment, a3 one of the gentiemen thinks, on discovering who his companions were. He entered with the others, however, and took his seat ; fee he, bere, Ina little time Mr. Webb withdrew with the crier, and Was some minutes in secret conversation with him in the passage, as was witnessed by beth the gentle- men named, on quitting the room. Afier the retraction was handed to me, that Coop- eratown party made their arrangements to leave Fon- da, im the t train. Mr. Richard Cooper and pe eso vy sauet house tn leek f va miseid volume ot Wendell, and in searching for that, Mr. Cooper found our first volume of Home As Found, or that which contains the passage Mr. Webb has so mutilated, among some books ona table. Whe- ther these were mere accidental coincidences or not, Ido not know. Bat it is, at least, odd, that the cn- ly volume, out of eight, which could be likely to point out the mutilated quotation, never reached the jury! I can also prove that after the jury came in, Mr. Webb had a portion of them in his room, regaling them with champagne, &c. This fact alone, estab- lishes the character of the jurors who were present, to a certain pea inasmuch asno man of a proper degree of self-respect would place himself in a situ- ation 80 likely to discredit his principle, or his know- ledge of propriety. It was generally said by the bar, that the jury, a3 a whole, was much below the ordinary level} of country juries. > Again, Mr. Webb, I am told by various persons, openly predicted at Fonda, before his cases came on, tnat the juries would never agree, in either of the ir- dictmenis. One who felt he could prove the truth of his libels, ought to have had the assurance of an acquittal. But this is farfrom being all. Mr. Webb said this, not ence, or twice, as I believe I can prove, but several times, and in public places, of both cases, Now, he has himeelt, since admitted the falsity of one of those yery libe!s. On what legal ground could he have the ds:urance that a jury would not agree, in a case clearly libellous, and in which he has nn- der his own hand, confessed the falsity of the charge? If Mr. Webb will venture to deny these confidently expressed predictions, 1 will furnish the proofs ot them. Great Tyler Meeting at Boston, Pursuant to public notice, a large and enthusias- tic meeting was held at the Exchange Coffee Horse oa Wednesday evening. Col. Adams, President of the Mutual Insurance Company, was appointed Chairman, and William Hilliard Secretary. Messrs. Hogan, Pratt and Hitchcock, were appointed a committee to prepare some resolutions for the meet- ing. Upon the repert of the committee, the reso- lutions were ably and eloquently sustained by Mr. He reviewed the political character of and succesefally defended him from the Mr. Hogan also d:fended the Secretary of State with signal ability, not omitting, however, to do justice to the other members cf the Cabinet. Other Ther addressed the meetin, i satisfaction and appl. * unanimously adopted ; and it was voted that a copy of them be forwarded to the President and Mr. Webster. There was a committee appointed to prepare resolatio id call another meeting some future day, which will be done. Thus it will be seenthat Mr Tyler has some hearty friends ia Boston, and if there was a press here which would defend him from his foes, he would be the most popular President we have ever had.

Sad State of Things in Philadelphia. Farewp Bewsert:— I sent you a meager report of a case, which oc- curred here some time ago in the Court of Criminal Sessions, Gahna vs. Wm. Cavender, which it seems you did not relish. My object was to gratify the feelings of injured werth and innocence, and give additional interest and favor to your paper here, with an. extensive mercantile acquaintance who were familar with the circumstances, and who feel a lively interest for the welfare of Mr. Cavender. regret that you suff-red the matter to pass without notice, but in doing 80 consulted the propriety of your-own views without doubt. There isseme little indication of business here in the way of trade and commerce, but every thii looks gloomy tor the season ; without a currency stable value, and every prospect of its being worse before itis better, completely unhinges the relations of business and social order. All confidence seems suspended. Jf a man receives bills ot banks, he en- deavors to get rid of them as soon as possible, be- fore the promising lie breaks upon his hands—hence ~ traderg are offering to anticipate their payments by jendering country bank paper. Indeed, we are a bank-ridden People, and our ‘‘sofferings is in- tolerable.” “Night in the zenith of her dark do- main, is sunshine 10 the color of our fate.” It seems that Shakspeare’s prognostica of a war, would not be inappropriate to the present situation of our country. “ The bay ti it Ante ght Se aare hae Betas Boeneestoee aces Rich men lock eadyand rufans dance sad ee This may s2em to you like the picture of aa idle fancy, or the chimera @ diseased imagina- tion, nevertheless it embraces but too much trath. Look at the condition of our country and the course of Teasiations and tell me if there be not cause of fearful forebodings! When men become f- rassed in their pecuniary operations and affaira, they soon become desperate in their feelings and resort to war, or something worse, as a means of relief. All history attests this fact. What has induced England to wage an unchristian and jmjostifiable opium war upon China? Not on account of trade ? No! Not for the glory of conquest or the be- refit of civilization ? No! Butfor the sake of lucre. Money she wants, and money she must have, to euain her government and keep her wheels in motion. Truly, Bennett, ‘the almighty dollar governs the world.” Was there ever such . range. anomaly presented in the history of nations as ours exibit at thistime. At peace with all the world—with all elements of wealth about us—the richest coun! on earth in its resources—the land teeming wit plenty and groaning under the fruiiful products o well directed industry, and Heaven smiliog ever us— still the general government and the state govern- ments bankrupt, and the people unable to pay their debts! Fruitful offspring of a rotten system of bank- ing ; aye, there lies the evil after all—a scheme of the “devil,” and the sooner it is sent to his warm dominion for a tinal protest, the better for the in- habitants of terra firma. The old scoundrel com- menced his operations in this world by deception, hence the miseries and misfortunes of a fallen race. The banking system in our country has begotten two-ihirds of the evils and troubles under which we are now suffering. It has begat an inflated fystem of credi:, which has induced speculation and fraud, has brought desolation and ruin to the doors of thousands, besides disgrace as a peeple. Bentey. Bankrupt List.
