it 1s now the privilege of the infamous American press to heap upon every mention of it), we have the sense of a great and not unmerited compliment, im that suggestion of Mr. Cooper's name. knows the subject well, and would have done it admirable justice. As aman who has done honor to his coun- try, and is the chief ornament of the young literature of America, he has justly come within the constant hatred and contumely of that which is her unutter- able disgrace. But why the Socrates of New York? Why the “persecution ?” Why the sudden descent from the successtul tyrant to the philosophic victim? If the reader looks more attentively at some of the quoted passages (22, 24, S&c ,) he will probably begin to dis- cover the reason. And we can give him further as- sistance. Besides these cliques of American block- heads who are imagined to be in league with us, end disposed to an effort for the ‘* movement” pow, which should long ago have “ fatted al! the region kites” with this “slave's offal,”—we have found that the rapid fall from Napoleon to Socrates was not un- marked by one or two damaging incidents, heavy blows and great discouragements. In the first place, er that some notices have been given of ac- tions for libel.* They may fail, as the rest have, by the cowardice of intimidated juries; but the attempt, atter these recent exposures, will not be without, its use. Inthe next place we have found that, against this man, and his fellow-laborers in papers al- most as infamous as his own, a most distinguished minister of New York has,within the last two months levelled severe denunciation from bis pulpit. Doe- tor Wainewright—preaching from the appropriate text, * Neither be partakers um other men’s sins” — has eotered his solemn protest against the further to- leration of a scandal which degrades America and her citizens in the esteem ot the civilized world.— Most assuredly there is hope in all this: good hope, which we welcome joyfully: which not even the grave burleequet of the NE ciholie ga denunciations ot the “ Courier and Enquirer” interferes to mode- rate or subdue. [To be continued.} * One of these actions is brought by a member ofthe N. York bar, whom reverses had obliged to seek the benefit of the recent Bankrupt Act. One or two passages from the libel, though but additional proofs of the libeller’s habitual blasphemy, and constant hetred and contempt ofall sacred things, are not undeserving of record. ‘ among the foremost at the New York b: and aChristian—a man ofhonor, integrity, respectability, and undoubted piety, and whatever may be the fin: of his application for'a repudiation ot his debts in the of Bankruptcy below, there can be no doubt that in the Court of Heaven above, his petition for a remission of sins will be heard, and a decree of eternal discharge be given from any Wen which the great Adversary may have held against him.

Dear Bennetr:— Since the news of the capture of the Mexican ar- my, we have received letters {rom Campeachy, in- forming us, that Com. Moore, then in that port, would sail on the 6th, to attack the Mexican fleet; and there is but little doubt that he will capture it. General Ampudea was in treaty with the Governor of Campeachy, on the 5th inst., for terms of capitu- lation, which, itis understood, will be the entire eva- cuation of all the Mexican forces from Yucatan. Com.-Moore had succeeded in capturing the vessels loaded with coal for the Mexican steamers. The custom house investigation is still going on here. Itis now believed that all of the Treasury cer- tificates were not marked cancelled. Some of the money has been traced to a Mr. Breedlove, who was formerly in the Collector’s office. But it 18 cur- rently believed that others have a hand init. A po- lice officer has been despatched to New York and Philadelphia, on special business connected with the robbery. It now turns out that the money was not mailed, as was first stated. It was not in the power of the Secretary of the Treasury, therefore, to detect the robbery earlier. Much blame is thrown upon the Collector, Mr. Morgan, for so much negligence, and it will in all probability cost nim his office. The fact is, it was an injudicious appointment to make, is the first place, because he had no acquaintance with com- mercial affairs, and was only ranked asa third rate lawyer in the country. And in the second place, although a very clever man, he does not possess the requisite knowledge to fillsuch an office. The in- cumbent of such an office ought to be selected from among our merchants, who have retired from busi- ness, with a competency, and of popular manners. Our new Postmaster, Gen. Dawson, is a candidate for Congress in the Third District, and if elected he will resign his post. Louisiana will probably send a majority of democratic members to the next Congress. In Jess than two years, | expect to see a complete change in politics in this State. The last whig meetings in this city were but poorly attended, and the people, in fact, are getting heartily sick of of the tricks and humbuggery of the whigs. They are bent ona change, and they will have it. Business has fallen off very much, and we have really entered upon summer weather. For the last few days the thermometer has ranged 92 deg.’s in the shade. Every one who can raise money, are preparing to make their exit for the North and the great West We shall probably have a sickly summer of it here, as this isthe epidemic year. All our theatres are closed, and a few nights more will close the opera, waich is gow our only amusement. Madame Cas- tillan ie a splendid prima dona, and has won laurels for herself. She will probably visit New York shortly. Yours in haste, M. C. Literary Notices. GazeTesr OF THE Unitep States oF AMERICA.— By Daniel Haskell, A. M., and J.

The War of the British Reviewers against the Press of the United States, We continue this day the publication of the amus- ing article in the London Quarterly Review, abusive ot the American newspaper press in general, and the New York Herald in particular. Itis diffeult which most to admire in this article—the ferocity of its spirit towards the press in this country—its igno- rance of the subject it attempts to discuss—its in- flated pomposity—or its utter contempt of all argu- ment, cool investigation, and decency. It isnot, however, without its interest and its value. It af- fords the most intelligible proof of the sense enter- tained in England of the all-pervading and salutary influence of the American press. It is the involun- tary testimony of an unfriendly, dogged witness, from whom the truth is extorted,bit by bit, and who, out of patience with himself and every body else, vents his spleen on the opposing counsel, with infu- riated disregard of all the rules of civility and good breeding. Were the press of this country without influence and power—were it not the most efficient agent in promoting and maintaining that freedom of thought and speech, and those principles of civil and reli- gious liberty, which in little more then two’genera- tions have converted an humble colony into one of the greatest nations of the earth, these reviewers would give themselves very little trouble about it. However, our philosophy is a good deal of the laugh- ing description, and we enjoy the fun of this amus- ing wer. We shall continue our extracts, and let all ourreaders ‘see the bear dance.” Bunxer Hitt Ceigeration—l71H Jung.—It is ex- pected that this celebration will surpass anything of the kind that has ever taken place in this country. Preparations for it are new making on a grand and mighty scale. The Hon, Daniel Webster is to be the orator of the day which commemorates the completion of this monument, as he was eighteen years ago of the day which celebrated the laying of its corner stone. The President of the United States has signified his intention to be present. He will arrive on Fri- day, the 16th, with his suite. There will be also present the Hon. A. P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy, the Hon. J. M. Porter, Sec- retary of War, the Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe, Post- master General, several Governors of States, and others of high name and authority. Mr. Wensrer’s Srezcu any Poticy—Orinions or THE Press.—It is very amusing, and by no means uninstructive, to witness the varied manner 1D which the great speech of Mr Webster at Baltimore is received by the party preas throughout the coun- try. Trepidation—»nxiety—alarm—non-committal- iam—all sorts of feelings, have been excited by this new and unexpected movement, amongst the ultra politicians ot both parties. In this city the Courier is very severe, and dismicses the speech in ten lines, mingling the laudatory und the abusive in the most amusing and approved manner of gentlemen who are not very certain of what is most prudent for them tosay. “The speech,” says the Courier, “is in many parts able, and in some equal to his happiest eflorts; but as a whole it is unsatisfactory, and will not add to his reputation, either as a statesman or an orator.” Very prudent, and very cautiously spoken. The Courier is consulting the state of the weather, and may open its mouth by and by. The Boston Atlas copies our report of the speech, and speaks of its views and opinions in strong terms of approbation. The general principles laid down by Mr. Webster are characterised by the Atlas as just and sound, and calculated to meet general ac- quiescence amongst the intelligent and independent parties of the community. Our cotemporary doubts, however, whether the commercial relations of Eng- land and the United States can ever be arranged on the terms proposed by Mr. Webster. Well, time will settle that question, and in the meanwhile such a doubt will hardly operate with such force, or so generally, asto prevent the thougitful examination of the policy unfolded by Mr. Webster. The Philadelphia Chronicle speaks of the speech as the opening of a new era in the history of the commercial intercourse of the United States with foreign countries, and characterises it as a produc- tion which does credit to the intellect of i's author, and one which will be universally read with inte- rest. The Albany Atlas refers to the perplexity which Mr. Webster’s new movement has occasion- ed in the camp of the ultra whigs, which it seems very much to enjoy, as any one gifted with a ready perception of the ludicrous would. The Albany Daily Advertiser, a Clay paper, takes a very judi- cious and liberal view of the speech—expresses its approbation ef Mr. Webster’s sentiments—and statesits conviction that “ whatever administration shall be enabled to place all branches of our com- mercial interests on the footing indicated in this speech, will receive the united thanks of these United States.” This is pretty plain and pretty de- cisive. The New Bedford Mercury, a violent Clay paper, discovers a good deal of bitterness about the speech ; “Many words,” says the Mercury, used in urging the argument, and a want of directness marks and mars the whole performance. Tous it seems that it involves contradictions, and contains nothing which will carry conviction to any mind, however warped by prejudice in favor of the great expounder. The fact is, Mr Webster isd overlooks the existence of a tarift which ceptable to nine-tenths of the American people. We are experiencing the good effects of that beneficent measure every day that it ‘And if the politicians ofthe coun. The entire military of Boston and the neighbor- ing towns will turn out in the best possible style. And not only the military of Boston, but there will be also present a very large number of the military from all the States of New England, and probably from some of the other States. It will probably be the largest and most effective military display that has ever been seen on the continent. In addition to the military, most of the civic, sci- entific, philanthropic, and other societies will attend in full uniform. All the surviving revolutionary soldiers, whose age and health will permit, will also be present. Gen. Chandler, of Lexington, said to be eminent- ly qualified for the duty, will be the grand marshal of the day. .The programme of arrangement wilj be ready about the 7th of June. All societies, and the military generally out of Massachusetts, are invited to be present and take part in the celebration, As soon as the programme is published we shall be enabled to give more pre- cise information of the details of this glorious ce- lebration. Apropos.—In arranging the programme, the grand Marshall must not forget to appoint a bed-fellow for the President. Srep Trwz.—We understand that an effort is about making by the friends of James Watson Webb (the Amazone bonnet business don’t suc- ceed,) to raise a loan for him of $15,000, or there- abouts, among the merchants and brokers down town, in order to enable him to repurchase the right and title ot the ‘Courier & Enquirer” from Mr. Morrell, or the person who claims it. A difficulty, however, in the pregress of the ne- gotiation has arisen since the new movement made by Mr. Webster began. The mercantile, manufac- turing and financial interests of New York and New England have been deliberating since the last elec- tion on the necessity of abandoning the extreme and exclusive policy of Mr. Clay and the ultra whigs. They have now taken deliberate ground in that movement, and of course, considering that Webb is pledged to support Mr. Clay and all his pur- poses, they hesitate to raise $15,000 to pay for butchering their own throats. This refusal is ungenerous. By all means raise the money—yeu can always tell what will become of it. Mr. Biddle raised a like bonus and knows exactly what became of the $52,000, although he lost his bank harter by the operation. If the mer- contile interest should lose both money and mea- sures, they will always have the satisfaction to know that they will be considered “‘gentiemen” by Webb. This is Mr. Biddle’s sole solace in the orchards of Andalusia. ‘ OvrRerort or THe Bartimore Sresca:—The fulness and fidelity of ourreport of Mr. Webster’s great speech, have elicited the encomiums of a num- ber of our exchange papers. The fellowing are spe- cimens of the manner in which the report is spoken of :— {From the Philadel; hia Chronicle} Mn. Wen Srexcu.—We giveto-day, the more important p f Mr. Webster's speech, delivered at Baltimore on Thursday evening, which have not before been published in this city. We extract them from the New York Herald of Saturday, which containsthe only full report of the cemmercial speech of that eminent statesman, that has yet appeared. [From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times.] The N. Y. Heri ‘port of Webster's Baltimore speech isa splendid one—full, complete and perfect, m all its parts. ’Twasa poor speech, however. @#The Boston Atias and many other papers copied our report. The most unequivocal proof, however, of the excellence of the report which appeared in our columns, is the fact that it has been selected by acommittee of Mr. Webster's friends, with his concurrence for publication in pamphlet form, and will be circulated in that shape all over the country. Some of the proof sheets were yesterday submitted to our inspection, after coming from Mr. Webster’: hands, and we found that only a very few trivial verbal alterations had been made. But the supe- rior efficiency of our arrangements for reporting all public proceedings has been long since universally acknowledged. Forricn News—Courtesy or Suir-MasTERs.— Captains of vessels arriving at this port will please deliver to the commander of our news boat what- ever they may have fer this office in the shape of newspapers and letters, instead of sending them to the post office. Captain Smith, of the Christopher Colon, from Havana, will much oblige by attending to this on his next arrival. Tue Sreamsmp Great Western, Capt. Hosken, leaves to-morrow afternoon at 2 0’clock, for Liver- pool. She has upwards of a hundred passengers al- reg and we trust every berth in her will be fill- ed. —_—_______ Sin Crartes Bacot.—The Canadian Royalist, of the 18th inst., intorms us that the ex-Governor died on that morning. CuatHam Tuxatre.—The new piece drew an ex- cellent audience last night, and went off with great satisfaction. Itjis played to-night. try who are fore king a change, would give the present tariff a fair trial, and allow it become the settled policy ofthe country, there would be no occasion for any of those delusive humbugs called “reciprocal treaties.” Weare now building up a home market for our agricultu- ral productions. The manufacturers will be the great consumers, and will furnish a nearer and surer market than any foreign country could offer. With a single al- teration, or rather addition—we mean the better protec- tion of American shipping—no better tariff than the present could be devised. But of this more hereafter.” The Mercury is evidently alarmed. Its trembling anxiety is the most satisfactory evidence possible of the importance, soundness,; and strong claims to public favor of Mr. Webster’s views and policy. ‘The Albany Argus remarks :— “The New York papers of Saturday contain Mr. Web” ster’s speech, as reported for the Trivune and the Herald: between which papers the strife for precedence was suffi ciently active to be amusing to lookers-on, and in which, on the score of time, the Tribune took the lead.” Who took the lead in other respects than that of time, ia the opinion of the Argus, is sufficiently indicated by its making its extracts from our report. The Argus add ‘We shall publish the speech entire to-morrow, as a part of the history of the times, when we may speak more ticularly of its character and suggestions. It may be now, however, that, whatever the design, it is able statesmanlike—and that it avoids what the quidnunce were most anxious to h sion to his position, politically, and the con of parties at Washington cr elsewhere. This shows the favorable manner in which the speech is likely to be received amongst the liberal and enlightened members of the loco foco party. The New York American comes out with con- siderable boldness against the speech,and endeavors in a lengthy article to show that the policy of Mr. Webster is unconstitutional, inexpedient, and prom- sesno benefit. We will advert at present only to one of the assertions of the American, which hap- pens to be quite at variance with the fact. The American states that “Mr. Webster's speech has given pain to some of his warmest admirers.” Nothing could be more erroneous than this. It is exactly the other way. The movement of Mr. ‘Webster hasthe cordial concurrence and support of his oldest, most attached, and influential friends. A correspondence will be published in a day or two, in the Boston papers, showing that the manufac- turers of New England, convinced that in the fierce contests of ultra political partizans respecting the tariff question, their interests would be altogether prostrated, desire to seek the quiet and repose which the new ground presented by Mr. Webster promises to afford them. The commercial and manufac- turing interests of this city and New England are making up their determination to abandon the high tariff party, and will resolutely support Mr. Web- ster in the new line of policy, which gives reasonable hope of security and permanence. The fact is that the direct tendency of Mr. Webster’s new move- mentis to unite the conflicting interests,both of labor and enterprise andparty. That it will speedily oc’ cupy the most serious attention of the whole coun- try is certain, and there can be little doubt as to the result. Self-interest is the best possible disposer of party prejudices and party predilections, We perceive from the Boston Mercantile Journal that there is a movement making in New Hamp- shire among the whigs, the object of which isto bring Daniel Webster forward as a candidate for the Presidency. The last number of the Keene Senti- nel recommends that the Whig State Convention nominate for President, Daniel Webster, her native son, subject to the decision of a National Conven- tion in May. The N. H. Telegraph, alluding to this subject, says:— “There is no man living, whom to see elevated to that station would give us greater pleasure, than Mr. Webster. jan ot whom New Hampshire may well feel proud andthe manner in which he powerful nation, has endeared him more to the people of the country, than all else beside. wasacioud of prejudice which suddenly sprung up against him, which has hardly cleared away yet, but it is clearing away, and his recent services will yet re- ceive the united voice of commendation of the wholecoun. Other papers in the State are aiding in this move- ment. A great movement has been assuredly com- menced and the results may be of greater magni- tude than some of our prophets dream. We shall keep faithful chronicle of the progress of events, and note their character, tendency andeffects. Broapway Menacerig.—This extensive and well conducted establishment will remain open a few days longer.gglt is one of the most pleasing resorts for amusement in the city, particularly for children. The performances are repeated two or three times during the day, giving all en opportunity to enjoy them. To the juvenile portion of the community the departure of the little ponies will be cause for regret. Removat —Mr. O. Davis, postmaster at New- burgh, to make room for Jas. Belknap. Navat.—A list of the officers of the U. S. store ship Lexington, which sailed yesterday for the Me- diterranean :—William M. Glendy, Esq., Lieuten- ant Commanding ; Lieutenants Theodore P. Green, Andrew F. V. Gray, William May ; William Spei- den, Purser; John J. Abernety, Acting Surgeon ; Edward C. Anderson, Acting Master ; Joseph Ho. ban, Captain’s Clerk; Midshipmen William A. Webb, William W. Roberts, Dawson Phenix. Nisvo’s Tugatru.—The French company ac! ed another triumph on Monday night, by the perfor- mance of “Les Memoires du Diable, on la Sonnette Mystérieuse,” a musical drama in three acts. Long before the cw drew up, the boxes and parquettes were occupied with a fashionuble audi- ence, who testified their approbation at the perfor- mance of the Overture to Zampa by loud plaudits ; and indeed it was given by the orchestra in the most brilliant and masterly style. The plot of the Memoirs of the Devil is very sim- ple, yet is ingeniously contrived to keep up a lively interest throughout three rather long acts. Marie, immediately afte: the death of her father, has been deprived of her property and legal rights by the machinations of two powerful noblemen, Le Marquis de Lormias and Le Chevalier de Rapiniére, She is beloved by one Robin, a charming fellow, who knows the secrets of the Marquis and Cheva- lier,and who affects to have dealings with the Devil in order to surprise and countermine their opera- tions. The second act opens with a bal masqué, given by the ambitious Marquis de Lormias, at which Robin appears as the Devil, and surprises the Mar- quis and his friend with the extent of his knowledge of their past life. The third act restores the parties to their own ev- ery day characters, and Robin, after a series of successful experiments on le Marquis and le Cheva. lier, preduces, by the aid of his servant Valentine, the papers which restore La Baronne, the mother of Marie, to her rights and to her fortune, and the lovers are of course united. Ot the exertions of the performers in the drama, we can scarcely speak too highly. Mr. Lecourt, as Robin, was the feature of the piece, and merited the warm applause with which he was greeted several times during the performance. M. Oternon made his début in the character of Valentine, and his act ing was distinguished by a most beautiful simplicity, fectly in accordance with his part. M. Mathieu, his first appearance, was also highly applauded in the part of Jean Gauthier. The music of this drama by M. A. Doche, is of the light and agreeable order, interspersed here and there with afew notes calculated to aid in the mys- teries which at one time surround the real and as- sumed character of the hero of the drama. The dresses in the Bal Masqué were rich, tasty and appropriate, the whole drama appearing to have been put upon the stage without regard to expense ; and we have no doubt but that the enterprize of Niblo will be rewarded by a series cf full houses during the season. At the fall of the curtain the applause was loud, and the.piece was announced for repetition amid shouts of bravos from all parts of the house. Musica. anp Tueatricat.—Of course nobody forgets that Brough gives his Grand Concert at the Appollo this evening. Heis in himself a host, and has added a strong combination of talent te his own resources. It willbe one of the most brilliant Cen- certs of the season. \s a vocalist, Mr. Brough stands in the highess rank, and as a private member of society, he 1s equally well and deservedly es- teemed. His friends will, of course, muster as they ought on this occasion. Mr. Russell’s Concert last night, wasas usual, at tended by a crowded audience. Many had to go away unable to obtain admittance. Russell sang with accustomedfeffect, and was rapturously applau- ded. Mr. Harry P. Grattan took his benefit at the Park last night, appearing in the character of Shylock. ‘Tue Queen or Enctanp’s Birts Day—Satrres FROM THE WarsritE anp Norts Caroxina.—This is Queen Victoria’s birth day. To-day she com- pletes the 24th year of her life, in the sixth year of her reign, and in the fourth year of her marriage. A royal salute of twenty-one guns will be fired from the heavy ordnance of the Warspite, at 12 o’clock, which will meet with a courteous response from the North Carolina. Both these noble vessels now lay off the Battery, where an excellent view can be had, although the best can be enjoyed from Castle Gar- den. Tue Empire anp Sovrn America.—It was an nounced in the Albany papers that these two boats would try which could make the quickest run to New York. They left the wharf simultaneously at two miuutes before seven o’clock. The South America had the lead full fifty rods, as she laid further down the river, which she gradually in- creased, and arrived in New York a little mere than an hour ahead of the Empire, making the trip in eight hours and fifty-four minutes. After passing West Point the Empire gave up the contest, having deranged some of her machinery, and only using one of her engines for the remainder of the dis- tance. Svurreme Covrt.—Charles Humphrey, Esq. of Ithaca, has been appointed one of the Clerks of the Supreme Court, to reside at Albany, in place of John Keyes Paige, Esq. The rule of Court making this change is dated on Saturday. The other Clerks have been re-appointed. Mr. H. wasa member of the Assembly in 1834 and 1842, and Speaker in 1835 and 1836. Tue U. S. Scuoonzr Grampvs is undoubtedly lost, and with her noble crew. She sailed from Charleston, 8. C., on the 11th of March last, we believe, for Norfolk, Va., and has not been heard from since. On the 18th there was a vielent storm at Charleston, and it is conjectured the schooner foundered during the gale. The Grampus was commanded by Lt. Downes, brother of Com. Downes.

Fountentsm.—In speaking of the late Fourier meetings held here by Brisbane, Greeley, and Channing, and re- ported in the New York papers, the other papers through the country seem inclined to ridicule the whole subject. ‘This is unkind and improper. We can assure the public that when such men as Albert Brisbane, Horace Greeley, ‘Wm. H. Channing, Park Godwin, and'C.8,Murray, (of the Vt. Telegraph,) come out publicly and endorse the oithodoxy of any subject, the people ere bound to give it their respect and confidence—also to discount their notes—givethem eredit—buy their stock—and set them down for saints. recent decision of Judge , strikes a death blow at once to the contemplated effect of the if that State prohibit- ing free blacks from entering or residing in the State, and grants free access iato that State to all persons who were born in the United States, no matter what their complex- ion.

We com- mend our readers to the following letter from the “Astor,” in the “ Ladies’ Book,” by N. P. Willis, Esq. Read it ye gourmands and epicures, and lick your lips with fond anticipation of the delights unfolded :— “ And you would like to know something of my diver- sions in the great city. We were speaking 0! attics. The transition is but slight from garret to cellar. Florence’s oysters are now presented to the palate in a subterranean cloister werny, of the sreneving nod of Sardanapalus. Two huge turtles guard the facilie descensus on the cor- ner of Park Pisce, waving their huge paws perpetually with indolent and voluptuous invitation. You enter and breathe the ambrosial air of the oyster level, snd you think the faries and monks have turned fishermen te- gether. On your left extends a lengthened aisle of Gothic confessionals, curtained in blue damask, and car- ved and gilded like the small chapels for princely peni- tence at Rome—the far down extremity set with a huge mirror, and doors of many-colored glass leadi tories for ladies. In cach confessi han, picture of a saint —(possibly less a —and between two cushioned 6 covered with a snowy napkin, ard outstanding et-ceteras ofa feast. Opposi entrances to these chapels of ease, exte mptuous structure of bress and marble, supporting vases of fra- rant mint and dishes of the succulent fruits used in the rewing of juleps, and these mentionable ingredients mingled in tem ray with bottles of those persecut- ed Jiquors, not nameable (of late) to ears polite. Flo- rence, like all Irishmen, knows how things are done in France, and behind the Ganymede of the bar (the most courteous and smiling of his class, by the way) stands a icture of female beauty worthy of a French Titian—a ‘enus arising from the foam. She smiles on you while you pay. And theraw oyster, (not 7 under the domi- nion of Venus) has its own long gallery parallel to the Gothic cloister, and here you smoke—the goddess not loving tobacco. ' The kitchen, whose mystery I have not yet penetrated, is somewhere bebind or below, and it is probably a little empire of itself ; for “ Florence's” is no jess a perfect restaurant than the paradise of shell-fish, and you may order, in those benuty-guarded contes- siouals, a dinner fit for Apicius. Truly, my dear Shep- herd, you should leave your flocks to their simplicity, and once a year come and walk among the luxuries. 1do not know, even in France, better devised temptations than these same of John Florence’s. Ls THE MANAGER OF PEALE’S NEW YORK MUSEUM evinces a strong desire to gratify his patrons. The entertainment he affords them for such a sum as one shilling, is truly surprising—how he does it, we are una ble to explain. For instance, there is Mise Adair, the much-admired Vocalist, who warbles her sweetest strains. Miss Blanchard, the Grecian Juggleress, who also discourses most eloquent harmony on the musical lasses. Weeks’ Irish Songs are really rich. Master dances, mirably. La Petite Certo dances with a grace and elegance rarely equalled. The whole of these attractions, including the splendid picture gallery, are to be seen for the above sum.
