Tue Courier anp Enquirer on THE Street Con- TRact—Wenp’s Motives—Tue Crry DeparTMENT Paintine.—The “devil upon two sticks,” who is at the head of the*‘Courier & Enquirer” in Wall street, is out again in his winding sheet of yesterday, cut- ting up the whig party, ironing down Thomas Snow- den, denouncing Alderman Atwell, looking very savage at the whig Aldermen, and giving a whisk with his tail at the Herald—che ‘infamous, degraded Herald.” Let us look into his reply. In the the Herald of Wednesday last, under the head of “ Street Cleaning Disclosures,” we charged the Courier & Enquirer with interested and selfish motives in attacking generally the whigs of the Cor- poration, and in particular, Aldermen Navies and the Contract Committee generally, for the course they had taken. In proof of this charge we al- leged, 1, That Col. Webb and Mr. Snowden were ear- nest solicitors in the first instance for the printing of the Board of Aldermen, which isa much fatter job than the printing of the Departments. Their peti- tion was denied, and the printing was given:to Charles King of the American, by a whig vote— ‘Webb’s own party—at the head of which are Alder- men Davies and Balis, both on the Contract Com- mittee. By this cut direct Col. Webb was cha- grined, mortified, and greatly disappointed. This was the first and strong ground of dissatisfaction with the whig party. He could not lead them—he could not regulate nor control their movements— they would not submit to his dictation—but took the sceptre away from Judah. 2. In the next place the printing of the depart- ments was given to Mr. Snowden, who has a job printing office in connection with the Courier, and in the profits of which Webb is interested one-third or one-fourth, and we are now prepared to show that they determined te make the most out of it pos- sible. For in the very outset they used every exer- tionto get up a combination with Messrs. King & Van Norden to keep all their printing prices for the Corporation up at an exorbitant rate, which it is said was charged by Jared W. Bell, the locofoco. To this combination these latter gentlemen would not accede. Whereupon Webb and Snowden but loose, and charge upon their own hook whatever prices they choo-e. Of these prices we published a few specimens from Mr. Snowden’s bill, which was read in the Board of Assistant Aldermen onthe 16th January last, by Alderman Atwell, chairman of the Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons. Among these specimens then published, we ask renewed attention to the following Voar Asn Bru. Oct. 18, To 58,000 notices, coal ashes, $2 per hundred, cutting and putting up In bundles of 500 each. $400 00 From this bill of $400, the Comptroller, a gentle= man of honor and sterling integrity, and whose whole course in relation to this and other matters is worthy of public commendation, deducted $344 which is more than six-sevenths of the whole amzunt, and the balance of $56 paid over to Webb & Snowden. And even this $56, which is less than one-seventh 0: the original bill, is too much by at least $20, as is evident from the fact that Mr. Snowden afterwards offered to print 50,000 notices (requiring more labor than the coal ash notices) for $36. We therefore submit to the public whether this is not attempting to make the most pos- sible out of Corporation printing? 3- The next cause of Col. Webb’s dissatisfaction with the Whig party, according to our allegations on Wednesday, 1s to be found in the fact that Mr. Williamson, the Comptroller, proved a gentleman of too stern integrity for the purposes of Col. Webb and Mr. Snowden. The total amount of their bi!l for printing above referred to, being for three months from Ist August to lst November, was between $2600 and $2700. It was presented to Mr. William- son, and we now add on fall and ample authority that it was sworn to—yes, its correctness was sworn to, coal ash bill andall. Mr. Williamson saw at a glance that here was something wrong, and he re- fused to pay it. To make everything plain, we here insert the authority under which the Comptroller acted, and also the duty required of Mr. Snowden as printer rendering service to the departments :— Corporation Oxpinance. Cuar. xxi. §6. 4th.—Whenever services shall have been rendered, or articles furnished, (not under any particular department.) which in their nature cannot be subject to the operation of any tarift or general regulation for pay- ment, the bill or demand for the same shall be accompa nied by an affidavit of the fact that such services have been rendered, or that such articles have been furnished, and that the compensation charged therefor is not more than individuals are accustomed to pay for similar services, Mr. Snowden then goes and cuts down the origi- nal bill about $1000, and makes it out anew for $1705 55, and, as we are informed, again swears to it. Atany rate, whether Mr. Snowden swore to its correctness or not, it was sworn to. Te $2700 was sworn to as correct, and the $1700 was sworn to as correct—ot course, both must have been cor- rect. And when Mr. Harrison and other Whig printers swear that a “‘ correct” charge for the same work set down in Snowden’s bill would be less than $1200, why, of course that must be correct, fo; they are all honorable men. It being all correct, Mr. Williamson at last paid the bill. But Col Webb retired from the charge more chagrined and morti- fied than ever. 4. Next in order were the facts which transpired in the Board of Assistant Aldermen. It was an at- tempt, as the “ Gourier” very justly says, ‘“ virtu- ally to deprive Mr. Snowden of his office.” The truth was, the Board could not swallow his “ coal ash bill,” and other billsof that ilk. To show that this was the wnanimous "feeling of all the Assistant Aldermen, we extract as follows trom the minutes of the meeting of that Board on the 4th July, by Mr. Edward Williams, the Clerk :— Assistant Alderman Nesbit Shairman of the Commit- tee on Finance, to whom was referred the resolution to laave the public printing (except such as is ordered by the two Boards respectively) done by contract, presented a report and resolution, that “he Heads of Departments be directed to employ the printers designated by the Come mon Council, unless they can procure the work dowe in a similar manoer at a iess price than they are willing to perform it for. Assistant Alderman Atwell moved that the original re- solution be substituted for the one offered by the Com- mittee. Assistant Alderman Brown moved that the report and resolution be referred to the Committee on Police, Watch ‘and Prisons. Adopted. From the minutes of the meeting on the 16th January :— By the same—[Assistant Alderman Atwell]—from the Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons, to ra was re ferred the resolutions in relation to the public printing—a report, stating the evils arising from the present mode of ing out the work to be of such a nature as to call for e adoption of a dit mt course; together with the fol- lowing resolution « : Resolved, That the heads of Departments of the Spd Government be, and are hereby directed to transmit all orders for printing to the Comptroller, who is directed to employ the printer tothe Corporation Departments, un- Jess some other, in his judgment, competent person, be willing to do the same for a less sum than the said inter. Assistant Alderman Westervelt moved, that the resolu- tion of the Finance Com ee, on the same subject, be adopted as asubstitute Lost. " ‘he report and resolution of the Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons, were then adopted The following is the vote of the Board of Assist- ant Aldermen, January 16th, on the motien of As sistant Alderman Westervelt, that the resolution of the Finance Committee (January 4th) on the same subject, be adepted asa substitute :— GaTIVE.—W. }» Atwell, Nash, Bi Scoles Brady, Mead, Pettigrew—6;" those in ialice Veing ¢ report of the Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons, was then adopted unanimously. This shows conelusively the state of feeling inthe Board of Assistants in relation to the Courier and Enquirer, and Snowden’s bills. It was the ‘ De- partment” (Snowden’s) priating aimed at—therethe fault lay, and there the censure fell; with what justice the public will decide. No wonder that Colonel Webb fears that the Board of Alder- men will concur with the Board of Assistants, and thue “‘ virtually deprive Mr. Snowden of his of- office.” Such are substantially the facts and allegations which we made on Wednesday, and on which we made the charge that the Courier and Enquirer at- tacked the contract committee from interested and selfish motives. Let us now examine the reply made tothese charges by Col. Webb, in yesterday’s Courier and Enquirer. What can the “devil upon two sticks” say to these facts ? 1. “We do not deem it necessary to reply to any- thing coming from the Herald.” This reply exactly meets the charges and points at issue. Wonderful reasoner! Sublime logician! 2. “Alderman Atwell isthe author, if not the wri- ter of the article in question” Exactly to the point again. Mr. Atwell had nothing to do with the mat- ter. The question is, are the facts as stated? Can the devil deny them ? 3. “Alderman Atwell has demeaned himself, aud is unworthy of theplace he holds. We do not even know th- gentleman by sight; and his connexion with the Herald in this or any other maiter, is in our opinion, conclusive evidence that he is well worthy of the connexion he has formed, and none other.” Strikingly to the point again. Expert dialectician ! Extraordinary mathematician !—-almost equal to charging $400 for a job, and taking $56. 4. Then again. —“TIt is not true that we are part proprietor of Mr. Snowden’s job office. But let that pass. For the sake of argument let this allega- tion be assumed as true; how then stands the mat- ter? Amiable subterfuge ! Is it not true that you are interested ia the profits? Is it not true that you were once part proprietor, but had to give it up, in order to get through the Bankrupt Law ? Is it’ not tree that James Gordon Bennett was in 1832 a part proprietor of that very job office with you and Snowden? Wondertul ostrich, with your head in the sand, and your extremes all over the coun- try! But all these are immaterial and futile to the real points at issue. The great and constant argument of the “* Courier” is the ‘*‘ infamy of the Herald and its proprietor.” Thisis truly amusing to come from a inan who has been bought and sold like a bullock in Fulton market, by almost every party and every clique in the country—sometimes at $500, sometimee at $52,000—whose vagaries, follies, and indiscretions have made him a laughing stock to the whole world—who has squeezed black mail out of every man,every bank,and every party that wou'd yield it» either in drops of $56 each, or deep doses of $54,000. It is very edifying, surely, to hear such a man talk of our character, our principles, and our conduct. Dare he put his finger on a single act, public or pri- vate, that is not honorable, frank, and manly? Dare he compare private life with private life? But enough—the questions to be decided in this controversy, are these:—Have we not proved that the motives of the Courier & Enquirer in attacking the whigs in the Corporation, arises from having been defeated in their own extortions? Have we not given the day and date—the figures and facts, establishing these points? Have we not proved that the “ devil upon two sticks” and his clique of extor- tioners, are a set of the most mercenary fellows that ever were collected together, either on the earth above, or in the other place below? Have we not proved that the Courier & Enquirer has beento the whig party, the “old man of the mountain,” riding it to death and destruction, and that the time has come toshake off this “devil upon two sticks,” and to place him where he was originally found, in his original dirt, folly and absurdity, carefully sealed up in a bottle, labelled thus :— When taken, Te be well shaken. Mareazet Bishor AND THE NEW CurisTIANs.—In these extraordinary latter days, when new Prophets and Apostles are as plenty as potatoes, twelve toa hill, we think it the safest course to give each a chance, from the Pope to Joe Smith, from tie great Red Harlot of Rome down to honest Marga- ret Bishop of Drumeleugh. Fair play—-and fair days:— : 172 Spain st., 7th day, 1st menth, 1643. To J.G. Bennett, £+q :— Sin— ‘We have received a letter by the steamship Caledonia, intimating that we may expect a parcel from them soon.

Fairsp Bennett :— P.8.—I wish thee to understand that I don*t believe the millenium is begun—but I believe the time is now for the sanctuary to be cleansed—the stones of which are the bo- dies of 144 thousand families, a seed to replenish the new earth. These stones we believe will be gathered by the Mother of the new creation, Jerusalem coming down from God, out of heaven—and her cleansing will be according to Ezekiel 44th, 9th; Malachi 3d, 2, 8, &c. &e.; which, when done, the mark of God will be put upon them— Ezekiel 9th, 4th, Revelations 7th, 3d. Now the time for them tot gathered and purified, soul, body and spirit and if thou art one of the House of Israel, thou wilt thirst for a further knowledge of these things— and would to God that I may be found ‘a captive maid,” to tell thee that there is a P)ophet in Iarael. M. L. A “Captive Maid,” Margaret—that’s goodthat’s a capital phrase. We will think of it. “Tue Parosorny or Animal Macnetism Disco- veRED.”—A personage styling himself the “* Rev. J. B. Dods,” announces in the Boston papers, that he has been prevailed on to comply with the request of many members of the lvgislature and scientific gen. tlemen, to deliver a course of lectures explanatory of the philosophy of Animal Magnetism. Thus speaks the reverend philosopher :— Mr. Dods has succeeded in searching out the philosophy of this wonderful science, and will explain it in such a manner as to make it plain to the humblest capacity. While other lecturers contend that this subject is shroud- edin mystery, and is inscrutable to the human mind, Mr. Dods having given it a thorough investi , professes to be ableto why and the wherefore.” Experiments will be tried with the electrizing machine and galvanic battery, to demonstrate his theory. Ifparents have any regard for the welfare of their chil- dren let them come and hear, and let all who desire to know how pain can be removed from their snffering fel. Jow creatures, come and listen and leern. The science of Animal Magnetism will not only be explained, but evi- dences ofits truth will be presented by magnetizing some person, and trying several experiments, which will alse demonstrate the truth of Phrenology. The Mercantile Library Association should at once secure this Reverend Mr. J. B. Dods. Furruer Particu.ars.—We have a few more au- thentic particulars of the sad accident that happened off Metinecock Point last Tuesday. Those lost were named Plait Brush, Doris Bunce, and Andrew Onderdonk. The latter wasa nephew of Bishop Onderdonk of this city. Those saved were Captain Lewis, Thomas C. Wicks, Platt Lewis, and Sylvanus Smith. These were taken to the house of John H. Wanser, about two miles from Glenn Cove, where every attention was paid to their comtort. Too mush praise cannot be awarded to John F Goldin, John Tilley, Benjamin Sonthard, David Wilson, and Daniel Hall, who manned the boat in which the survivors were brought ashore. They risked their own lives to rescue those on the wreck. Farner Mitver.—We understand that this holy Saint will not be able to gethere before Monday or Tuesday next. He hasbeen delayed in Vermont, making preparations for the last day. ‘Wan or Enatanp anp France acainet THE Unt- TeD States.—The war between the great govern- ments of the old world—those of England and France—and the Umted States, has fairly commen: ced. It is a war of opinion—of honesty—of princi ple—of every thing connected with the rights of man and the power and duties of civil governments. In this war, France and Great Britain unite against the United States. ‘The newspaper press of Paris and London, and, so far as we can ascertain, the whole provincial’ press of both countries, teem with denunciations of the policy and course of the govern- ment of this country, with respect to, the financial affairs of the several States, Therejis scarcely a single instance of the adoption of a different tone to be met with amongst'the conductors of the public press in either Great Britain or France. The popular effect of this universal expression of hostility to this country, must evidently be very sreat, and will be by no means confined to the Eu- ropean world. By the rapid pregress of steam pow- er, and the immensely increased frequency and fa- cility of communication, this country has been brought within the vortex of European politics and ovinion. Besides, the annually increasing commer- cial greatness, population and wealth of this coun- try, have raised it toa more conspicuous position amongst the nations of the world, and so extended and magnified the character and bearings of its re- {ations to them, as to give to all the great public acts of its government an interest and importance, im- measurably superior to those which they possessed in the earlier daysof our republic. The interests of the United States and those of the great commer- cial nations of Europe, are becoming mere and more nearly identified. It is not all surprising, then, that American affairsshould now occupy so much of the attention of the European press, and that the action of our government should excite, as the case might be, anxiety, alarm, or opposition. But the influence of public opinion in England and France, as exerted through the press, will not, as we have said, be confined to the old world. It must be felt also here. Every election in this country will be subjected, more or less to influences originating on the other side of the water. It is very evident, from the widespread and not very measured ex- pression of the prevalent views and feelings in Eu- rope, that the war of opinion will go on with in- creased violence, until something be done here to- wards a settlement of the State debts, and final ad- justment of all those questions which interrupt the perfect harmony and peace of the old and new world. We vhall, on an early day, give some ex- tracts from the foreign journals, illustrative of that state of feeling and public opinion, to which we have now bri adverte d. An Anniversary Dinner, commemorative of the nativity of Burns, the immortal bard of Scotland, was attended by a company of about sixty gentle- man who sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at Clark & Brown’s, on Wednesday evening last. Al- exander Watson, Esq. presided aided by V. Clire- hugh as vice. Among the invited guests who hon- ored the company with their presence, were Judge Inglis, Recorder Tallmadge, District Attorney Whi- ting, Signor Granja, Consul General of Mexico ; Judge Hogan ; Wm. M. Price and Salem Ducher, Esqs., the Vice President elect of the St. Georges Association ; Secretary of St. Patrick’s Society, Dr. Caldwell, late snrgeon of the British army ; Justices Matsell, Lowndes, &c. The luxurious supper having been discussed and the cloth removed sentiment and song followed in rapid succession from the intelligent and talented assemblage. — Messrs. Horn, Wilson, Hackett and Clirehugh in- terspersed the flow of wit, with the most popular songs of Scotia’s bard, and the spirit stirring and in- teresting response from the invited guests were all of the highest order. Among such an assemblage it would be invidious to draw any distinctions, but all departed from the feast of reason and the flow of soul, fully determined that the attentive hosts had so prepared their portion of the entertainment, that another anniversary wou!d cause an increase of their spacious hall to accommodate those who would be in attendance. Comptiment To Mr. Horn.—We have received a note, and also a bill, printed by “‘ T. Snowden,” meaning the “‘Courier” office, from which we learn that a grand concert is to be given to Mr. Horn next week, previous to his departure for Europe. It willbe recollected that the ‘‘ Courier,” some time since, announced its highly honourable intention to refrain entirely from giving any notice of foreign vocalists who would be 0 very ill-behav- ed as to get their bills printed at the “Herald” office. Our code of honor, morality, and decency, is, how- ever, very different from that of the “ Courier.” We will give due merit to all candidates for public favor and patronage—no matter where they think proper to get their printing done. Mr. Horn is a gentleman of genuine talent, and musical genius, and we cheerfully accord to him all that praise which he deserves. The concert is to be given on Tuesday next, the S3lst inst., at Niblo’s Saloon. It will be a most splendid entertainment. Selections from the last four new compositions by Mr. Horn— the “Remission of Sin,” ‘* Ahmed Al Kamel,” the “Maid of Saxony,” and ‘‘ The Christmas Bells,” willbe given. A perfect galaxy of musical talent is engaged — Madame Maroncelli, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. E. Loder, Miss Lewis, Messrs. A. Phillips, Maseet, H. Brooks, Maynard, with Mrs. and Mr, Horn. A full orchestra, led by Mr. U. C. Hill, and Mr. Timm at the Piano-forte, will render the entire arrangement complete. As a musical composer—a singer—and a gentleman of taste and respectability of the highest order, Mr. C. E. Horn has long since secured “troops of friends” and admirers, and we are disposed to think, with many others, that the Saloon at Niblo’s, commodious as it is, will be insufficient to receive the crowds who will flock to give him a parting cheer. WMA Man agpucTING HIs own wirg.—Charles Miller, of Sing Sing, who it will be remembered endeavor- ed to abduct his wife from Sing Sing, last summer, and more recently from Stamford, Connecticut, where she has been remaining in order to obtaina divorce from him, succeeded on Wednesday last in ti king herby force from the house where she was ing in the latter place. He had a carriage in waiting with fleet horses, and it is supposed has taken her to New Jersey. A warrant has beenis- sued for his arrest on the charge of abduction. Bioopy THankseivine.—A day has been set apart by the British government for public thanksgiving, for the success of the war in China and Affghanis- tan, and the Archbishop of Canterbury has been di- rected for that purpose to prepare a form of prayer (o Almighty God. ‘ Let all things be done decently, and in good order.” Procress or Biaorry.—It appears that the town councilof Liverpool have decided by a large ma” jority to refuse to the children of the Roman Catho- lic poor, secular education in the public schools. These are saints after Parson Cheever’s heart. Alas! it isclear that we are not quite ready yet forthe millenium. fg Mr. Rontson delivers another lecture on Treland, emigration, intellect, &c. on Monday eve- ning at Washington Hall—see the advertisement. Repvction or Fans.—The fare inthe Boston and Liverpool! steam ships has been reduced to one hun- dred and twenty dollars. Park Turatre Crrcus.—Parents and others must bear in mind that a grand afternoon performance, commencing at two o’clock, is given to-day. It will embrace miny new, surprising and amusing acts, affording a rich opportunity for families to enjoy ahappy hour. In consequence of the prepa- rations making here for the Firemen’s Ball, which takes place on Monday evening nex', Welch’: matchless company will perform at the Bowery Amphitheatre on Monday and Tuesday mghts o next week, Desate at THe TABERNACLE on Capital Praisu- | MENT, LasT NiGHT.—The Tabernacle was crowded last night by ladies and gentlemen anxieu ear Mr. C’Sullivan and Mr. Cheever settle permanently the questio vexata of the propriety of capital punish ment. Hugh Maxwell, Esq. presided, with charac- teristic dignity and efficiency. The price of admis- sion was only one shilling a head, children half- price. Horace Greeley and a numberof eminent literary, scientific, and clerical gentlemen occupied seats on the platform. ‘The stoves were heated to e most comfortable redness, but the disputants were cool, calm and collected. Mr. O'Sullivan opened the debate. He is a gen tleman of extensive erudition, much literary taste, and liberal sentiments. He is a good logician, and an accurate writer. Asa public speaker, however,,| he is not very effective. He 1s rather too argnmen- tative and metaphysical to exercise much influence over a mixed assemblage. After a somewhat lengthy, and not very pointed introduction, Mr. O'Sullivan proceeded to the work of attempting the demolition of the two great props of the gallows— the presumption of its necessity, and the assumption of its divine authority. He first took up the Serip- tural view ef the question, and contended with much ingenuity, and at great length, that the text “* Who. soever sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed,” was merely a prophetic annuncia. tion, and was meant {to describe the certainty with which Divine vengeance weuld pursue the mur- derer, This view of the text Mr. O'Sullivan repre- sented as bei maintaized Dr. Adam Clarke, and other distinguished commentators. Mr. O’- Sullivan then entered on the other branch of the subject, and was engaged in endea- voring to prove from elaborate statistical ta- bles, that uniformly the abolition of the punishment of death for any given crime, was followed by a marked diminution in the number of that class of offenders. He contended that this result was not at all attributable to the progressive improvement of society, because equally authentic statistical returns showed, that in the cases where the punishment re- mained unmitigated, the crime increased in fre- quency. Mr. O'Sullivan betrayed a good deal of uneasiness when he found hishour had expired, and would have gladly continued the discussion, had not the audience reminded him by some of those gentle hints employed by popular assemblages, that his duty was to sitquietly down, and leave the field to his antagonist. tt Mr. Cheever then rose. We have on aformer oc- casion described his style and manner of public speaking. There is too much of the pulpit twang about it, and his reverence has more vehemence than ease, and his self possession rather exceeds his modesty. His speech was written, (Mr. O’Sullivan spoke extempore,) and it was occupied entirely with the discussion of the scriptural argument in favor of capital punishment. He contended for its divine origin; that the text alluded to by his opponent was a command, and was to remain obligatory so long as the reason for it existed. Lex stat dum ratio ma- nent, The audience were highly delighted, and separa- ted, all more fully confirmed in their own views, and the question remains pretty much as the dispu- tants found it. Navat Court Martiaus.—We understand that the Navy Department has issued orders for a Gene- ral Court Martial, to convene on board the U. S ship North Carolina, on the firat of next month. The Court to inquire into the affair of the Somers, will assemble here in the course of a few days, and will probably come in under the above General Court.— Com. Downes will, it is now stated, preside ; and among the members will be Commodore Read, Captains Bolten, Skinner, Turner, Aulick and Wy- man, Commanders McKean, Shubrick and Ogden. Samuel Rush, of Philadelphia, is to be the Tudge Advocate. The sitting of the Court will no doubt be a protracted one. {n relation to the Court now sitting at Philadelphia, we take the following from the “ United States Gazette”: Lieut. M’Intire yesterday testified in favor of the defence, in the course ot ehisls he pronounced some heavy strictures upon the Expedition, and the offi cers commanding it He stated that if intemper- ance existed among the men, they had had the ex aciee of their officers; and that feequenty men, had received unlawtul punishment, and that too by order of midshipmen, who were se intoxicated that they could scarcely stand. He spoke in warm terms of the good character ot Lieut. Tansill. Beware of Counterreir $5's on the Blackstone Canal Bank, Providence, R. I., dated October 5 1835, EP. Butler, Cashier ; A. G. Brown, Presi dent. The word Providence is spelled Provibence, substituting b in place of d. The whole appearance of the bill is bad, and may easily be detected by holding it up to the light. Fires.—There were two fires last night, the first a dwelling house in Vandewater, which was extin- guished without doing much damage ; and the se- cond in a frame house at the corner of Prince and Sullivan streets, which was occupied as a segar shop. The latter house was entirely destroyed. Cuatnam Tueatre.—To night is set apart for the benefit of the celebrated pantomimists, Messrs. Brown, Mulligan and Davis, and a very attractive bill is presented for the occasion. The beautiful pantomime of the ‘Golden Dream,” is to be re- peated, in connection with a variety of other novel- ties, combining some of the most popular attractions of the day. We expect to see an overflowing house, which, indeed, is no rarity at this favorite establishment, where the extraordinary and power- ful concentration of talent and novelty never fails to delight a crowded audience. Arriva’ Amenican—Among many at this Hotel yesterday we notice that of Com. Ridgeley, U. 8. Navy, from Baltimore; Major A Van Buren and lady, from Kinderhook; Charles Carroll, lady and daughter, fromhis seat Droughon. ged , Maryland; Lieut. Pitkin, U.S. A., and J. leper, Esq. Boston. QG> We almost fancy n hear the exclamations of delight with which our juvenile friends will hail the an- nouncement that Mr. Barnum will give them, this after- noon, the Burning of Moscow, in all its splendor, in the day time, with such a day exhibition as he always pro- vides on Saturday, when he spares no effort to please. General Tom Thumb will be in all the splendor ot his new regimentals, and every way the most admired curio- sity living. og ANOTHER DOUBLE EXTRA NEW WORLD.
