YORY reer i Ni iMRALD. ——— = <== ow Stork Thursday, November 9, ts43 OF THE CAMPAIGN, COMMENCEMENT EL WEBSTER IN THE FIELD iveat Speech at Andover To-Day BY EXPRESS FROM BOSTON. DAD Hi The great eonicet for the next Presidency, mey be said to be now opened. The recent elections bave begun the war, and the great speech of Daniel Webster to-day, at Andover, in Masse- ehusetis, is the next siep in the game. Every Movement will have reference to this point, up to the day ot battle in November, 1844. As this will be one of the most frank, open, and intelleetual contests that ever took place in the United States—a centest to be decided on measures and princi! we hive made exten- sive arrangements to give the best and fulleet reports of speeches, debates, macs meetings, &c of both parties, and in every part of the country. Our corps of reporters have been completed in every point, and is now unrivalled among the newepaper prees. ‘We have accordingly dispatched a detachment to Massachusetts, to report verbatim Mr. Webster's speech to-day, and we hope to receive it by special express, and to publish it inaan EXTRA HERALD to-morrow morning early. It ig supposed that Mr. Webster will make one of his greatest speeches—define his own position— tell ws where he is togo, and mark cut the plans and principles of his party for the ensuing cam- paign. Be prepared then for a rich treat to-mor- row. No other paper can give such a faithful, graphic, and correct report as we cal ‘aad intellect of men are now to be appealed to—not their passions and prejudices. Mr. Webster's speech will be asort of Message to Congress. The reason The Awful Overthrow of the Locofocos no Overthrow at all—The Splendid Victory of the Whigs no Victory at, all. ‘The boot is on the other leg to-day The whige heve gained no victory at all, while the locofocoe have oarried every thing ia the city, except the sheriffand one assembly man. The state is also lo- cofoco to a dead certainty. We Were led inte the mistake by the terrible fright of the locofocos, who happened to couat the Votes for sheriff first, and finding themselves beat on that candidate, gave up all for lost, put out the lights at Tammany, and run home to hide themselves. — Last night Tammany was bright as ever, and the delight tremendous. We, theretore, take all back which we said yes- terday about the triumph of whig principles in New Yorks There muet be another and a harder fight if the whigs mean to carry Mr Clay and his princi- ples. One thing is certain—in our day, the good old lecotoco party have thrashed no less than three Richmondsand five-sixths of a jourth—being whig, Tyler, Abolition and Natives, all in a bunch. So there is comfort in the idea, that more than one party have got a good licking. The old hunk- ers look up still. Tus Apwinistration of Justick.—This theme has been worn nearly threadbare, but still there is web suffivient left to compel us to call public atten- hon to the mancer in which the mock term of “Justice” has been dealt out in our city. Scarce a day passes that some ragged specimen of poor ha- manity, whose hands have been tempied to eppro- priate the use of a piece of old junk or some other simost worthless material, to his own use, is not forthwith arrested, tried and sentenced to the peni- tentiary for months, when pervape the very act was lo satisfy the cravings of knawing appetite cr waat. The world looks on and says, ‘ amen,” while those who have robbed the orphan, plunder ed the widow and cheated the community, by acts of fraud, in our public institutions, walk through our streets naharmed, unscathed and uowhipped ct public justice This is one view of the picture, the evidence of which can be found on the records of our $0 called courts of “justice.” Another view in which the picture may be extended, and from which some idea may be perceived of the correct- nees of our position, is apparent, wken it is known that during the past several months the tollowing named persons have been tried and convicted of libels, some of which were of the most malicious and disgrac-ful character ; and yet sentence has not been recorded agains: them. It is rumored, but we know not with how much truth, that Friday is the day fixed for them to pass through the ordeal; if ao, we shall then believe that justice, in this city, though slow, is sometimes sure, if well urged forward by the tone of public opinion. The first on the list 18 Moses Y Beach, of the Sun, whose malicious, gross, and wanton attack upon female virtue and annocence,caused this whole community to express their disapprobation and astonishment at the vile and infamous publication. The second is Town: send and Brooke, of the Express,whose unprovoked and unfounded scandal against Francis B Cutting, Eeq.,and one of our most respectable females, a married lady, compelled them to sneakingly enter a plea of guiity ia the Court of Sessions, in hopes thus loecreen themselves from punishment. The third is Warren Draper, whose libel .on an active aad efficient public officer, called forth loud invec- Uvesat the time, but since cenviction it has slum bered in the womb of the General Sessions the case of Mike Walsh, we do not know that mueh ungecessary delay lias occurred, tor the rea- fon, perhaps, thet many influences have been brought to bear to urge his sentence forward. To evidence the even-handed justice of which we speak, let us look buck a few years since, when the editor of this paper was tried for the mere sim- ple mistake of publishing the name of John Bag- gerty for James, which error was corrected the next morning, and in the publication of which n0 malice could be traced or even supposed, yetin hot haste was he arraigned, convicted, and sentenced the round eum of $500, with scarce aday’s delay between each poiat in the proceedings, and thule a civil suit was pending to recover damages! And then again for the publication of the amusing and laughable jeu d’esprit, in which the na eof a Judge of the Sessions was casually introduced—a Judge who afterwards withdrew from the bench from knowledge ot his own incapacity—he was hur, riedly tried and convicted, and as hurriedly forth- with seatenced to pay a fine of $350. Thus was ‘justice’ meted out to him, and we now see stalking @broad those who have violated the sanctity of pri- vate lite, whohave endeavored to destroy the peace ead quiet of families—who have, assassin like, stabbed female virtue and innocence, with malice sntentand atorethought, with no good motive, or with no justifiable end, and yet the arm of the law ju stayed, and the scale beam of justice stands in In the eight of ail, balanced ig Support ot those who wou dirample her to earth. What @ mockery of the name! What an jogult to our laws aad institutions! And what @ commen tary on the admivistration pablic justice | AcciDENT —A man named Wibert, from Buffalo, sleeping at Holi’s Coftze House, coraer of Liberty tod Washington streets, about one o'clock onTues day morning, fell from the second story window, on the walk, and was badly injured.

Tc Tau Goan oF Svrenvisons meet thie afternoon at @ o'clock Results of the Election, 5 That which pppeared to all, on Tuesday at mid night, to be a great whig victory,hae, upon a complete canvase, dwindled down to but a trifling one, and uader ‘he circumstances, may be coneidered a vie tory for the democrats. The whigs have elecied Co!. William Jones for Sheriff, by « majority over Atwood cf 957 votes, and have only secured one member of Arsembly, namely RS. Williams, in place of Wiiliam Shaler, who was on the de- mocratie ticket. James Conner is elected County Clerk by a majority over Joseph Weed, the whig caudidate, of 1289 votes. Dr. Edmund G Raweon, the democratic candidate for Coroner, it elected over De Whiting by 712 majority. The numerous “spliis” among the votes for Avsembly, has render- ed the election of one whig memberfof Axsembly certain, The Native Americans heve polled over 8000 votes, while the Tyler party, headed by Mike Walsh and tailed by James Keily, haveinot exceed- ed 250, The average highest demooratie ‘majority over the highest whig is 300; and the average Jaghest democratic majority over the lowest whig is 1000 Williams, onthe whig Assembly ticket, 50 majo- rity over Shaler, the defeated democrat.

Hicks, the whig eundidate for County Clerk, is elected by 15 mojority, and Ja- cob Rapelje and William Burbank, the democratic Assembly-men, by 200 majority. Richmond county has elected William Nichols, democrat, to the Assembly, by a majority of over 100. David R. F. Jones, the democratic candidate for Senator of this district, against Franklin, has a emall majority in both the above named counties. In Queen’s county, Youags, the democratic can- didate for assembly has beat John A. King, the whig, by a majority of over 500. Searing, the democratic Sheriff is also elected. la Westchester, Charles Wright (whig) and An- drew Findlay (democrat,) are chosen to the'Assem- bly. Axsany County.—The entire whig ticket is elect- ed by an average majority of about 500, with the exception of Sheriff. Last year the whig majority was 196. RenssecaER County.—Troy gives 300 whig.— Last year 333. Greenbush, 184 democrat. Last year, 236. Oxeipa County.—The contest was confined to the Sheriff. Returas from Deerfield, Kirkland, Mar- cy, New Hartlord, Paris, Rome, Utica, Westmore- land and Whitestown give Kellogg (whia) 815 ma- jority, and U ley 8. The same towns last fall gave Bouck (loco) 51 majority. Kellogg is no doubt elected. The democratic Ssnators and Assembly- men are elected by 800 to 1,000. Last year Bouck had 1397 Herkimer County.—This county has given is average democratic majority for the Senate. The democratic candidates for Assembly are bath elect- ed Hoffman had only 19 majority in Little Falls. Monteomery Country —Jones (whig) is elected Sheriff over Spraker by 400 majority. The whig clerk is elected by the same majority, and one whig (,tobably) and one democrat to the assembly The democratic majority in this county last year was 503. Futrox County.—The democratic member of assembly is elected—same last year. Scnenecrapy.—The whig ticket ie elected—as- sembly, clerk, and sheriff. Last year Bouck’s ma- jority was 243 Mapison County is democratic as usual. Opanos County has probably gone democra:ic by 500 to 700 majority—same last year. Duicness County has done better for the whige than last year. Poughkeepsie, Hyde Park, Fishkill, and Rhinebeck, 28 whig majority—last year the same towns gave 202 democratic majority. The democratic majority in the county last j ear was 766 Gagenz County has about 70 to 890 democratic on Senator—the same last year. The whigs lose their Assembly ticket by about 100 votes. Cotumsia Couaty—This county is reputed at 400 democratic—last year Bouck had 916. Uxsrer County, the only return is of Saugertice, which is reported at 72 whig—last year it gave 160 democratic. It appears by the above that the whigsgain one or two members of the Assembly; and it is pretty satis- factorily ascertained that the democrats have elect- ed their Senators in the Ist, 2d, 8d, 4th and Sth dis- tricts. Grn. Ben TRann.—Thie distinguished veteran met with a splendid reception in Baltimore, where he was reoeived by the Hon. John Barney, Jerome Buonaparte, the French Consul, Commodore Ridg- ley, and others. He left Baltimore en Tuesday afiernoon for Norfolk. Ouv Tecumsen —Col. Johnson arrived in Tren- ton on Monaay, and was escorted into the city with much pomp. Inthe procession were the Governor, and two houses of Legislature, #fficers of the Navy and Army, and others. At the State House, Mr. Wright, Counsellor, fromm Hudson, addressed the Colonel in a spirited manaer, and the old veteran replied in his own peculiar etyle. He is expected to arrive in Philadelphia toraorrow evening at six o'clock. Ex-Parsipent ApaMs.— We perceive by the west- ern papers that early on the evening of Tuesday week, Ex-President Adams arrived at Erie and was received with a salute of artillery. A great crowd of people was assembled upon the wharf, and the “ old man eloquent” was escorted by torch- light, in procession to the Reed House, where he was welcomed by the Hon. Thomas H Sill. Mr. Adame’ reply was brief but touching, and at its close the multicude thronged around to exchange saluta- tions with him. The ladirs, too, were present in considerable numbers, and after paying their respects to him, Mr. A returned, accompanied by his es- cort, to the boat, which leftthe wharf amid the cheers of the muliitude and vollies of musketry. Jack Faost in New Oareans —Appeared on Sa- turday,the 28:h ult. for the first time. Since that,says the Tropic ot the 30ch, the weather has, been fine, clear, aud bracing, and Yellow Jack has disappear- ed. People can now visit that city with impunity ae 6000 as they pleare ee Ssow mw Ricumonp.—There was a light fall on Saturday ‘ast. Sreamsure Hipexsta, from Boston for Liverpool, was seen 1st inst. 11 80 P.M., Cape Ann W. N.W, 50 miles distant. Fine In Auton, Intinoie—-A fire wa raging in Second street on the 28h ult. The flames appeer. ed to be issuingtrom one or two houses. Muerine or THe Ny w Youx {nisu REPEAL ASSO- CIAT:ON, TO-NIGHT.~—The New York Irish Repeal Association meet, to-night at Washington Hall, to take inte consi*eration the arrest of Daniel O'Con- geil, aod ‘hho ‘present condiion of the Repeal ques: soa in Evuroye and America. This will be an im portant meeti Ic is the first of the kind that has beem Held in this country since ihe news arrived. Ii ts to fe held in New York, where it will give tone aod temper to others of the sam- kind, which will fol.iow throughout the Union Grave and weighty questions will be presented ‘shis eveniog for consideration. According to the accounts from England, the progress of Repeal has aot nly been checked, but suppressed, ond Daniel O’Conuell, the great teader and master gpirit of the moveneut, has tamely submitted to the suppression. There is no doubt that he was anxiously expecting and waiting for his arrest, as a God-send to help him out of the most uncomfortable dilemma in which he found himself placed. The time had come for a counter movement; he had run out his rove—he could go xo further without coming in die rect corflict with the laws And above ali, the “Rint” had been paid in, and but little more could be expected unul there should be some retuns Who, then, can doubt but that a crisis had come in which O'Connell was anxious, in the recesses of his own mind, to abandon the cause? But there ll a great and vitally important mat- ter to be considered by the Repeal Associations of this country, and particularly by the Repeal Asso- ciation of this city at their meetias this evening. Icisa matter which no sympathiziog repealer cun overlook—a matter which no American citizen, witha true American heart in his bosom, can either overlook or avoid. Wee refer to that most extraor- divary document sent by Daniel O’Connell to the Repeal Asseciation of Cincinnati. We dare not trust ourselves to speak of this communication as it deserves. tis not harmless reproach, nor malig- nant slander only. It strikes deeper. It seeks to disturb the harmony of the glorious Ameri- can Union. It seeks to alienate the north from the south. O’Connell seeksto take advantage of the natural and commendable sympathy of all the Irish- men in this country, whether naturelized or not na- turalized, to induce them to join in an American crusade against one half of the American Union.— “Frishmen,” says the great Agitator, “I call on you to join in crushing slavery.” Is this then the end and aim of the Irish Repeal movement to crush American slavery? Is the mask now thrown off? Is not O’Connell content with agitating Ireland, and the British Empire, but must he transmit his incen diary documents across the Atlantic, and endeavor to agitate the United Siates, and inflame the Union? He exhorts Irishmen ‘once and again to come out from the councils of the slave owners.” Now pray what have Irishmen to do with slavery? Will they lend themselv:s, yea sell themselves to the Avoli- tionists? Are “‘Inshmen,” and Abolitionists to be convertible terms? We call upon John McKeon, and Gansevoort Melville, and Tighe Davy, to define their position— to express their views upon these deeply interest- ing, and vitally important questions. Will these gentlemen support a man who is capable of writing such an atrocious libel, such a malignant and vio- lently inflammatory documentas was sent by Dan- iel O'Connell to the Irish Repeal Association ot Cincinnati? Some of these gentlemen are in public and highly responsible offices, sworn to support the Union, its Constitution, aad its awe; and will they endorse such incendiary doctrines as have now here promulgated from the Corn Exchange? Are these gent.emen prepared to join the ranks of the Abolitionists and stand shoulder to shoulder with Lewis Tappan, Joshua Leavitt, William Lloyd Gar- tison, George Thompson, et id omne genus. Theee are questions which will be put to them by every sound, judicious, thinking mind throughout ‘he whole length and breadth of this now peacetul Union. And to-night we shall expect to hear aclear and definite expression of opinion upon the stand they intend to take relative to this most extraordina- ty movement of Daniel O'Connell. America has sent him some $8 or $10,000, a freewill offering at the holy shrine of liberty—and what return does he make? He sends us back reproach, libe!, treason, and the dissolution of the great American Union. — Nay, more; he invokes the aid of his Holiness the Pope and his ‘‘allocution,” to agitate our country, and array the Catholic Church against American In- stitutions. Gentlemen Repealers, what say you ? are these doctrines and these measures to be support ed by American citizens ? Macrgapy.—Next week Macready commences an engagement at the National theatre, Boston. The National will open at one dollar forboxes, and fifty cents for the pit. It ii id that he will perform in Henry VIII, a play that has not been attempted either in New York or Philadelphia, oa account of the vast expense of the wardrobe and decorations. Mapame Casretian and Mr. Wattace have both arrived in Baltimore, where they are giving con- certs. Cuatuam Tueatae.—Mr. Hill and his new piece seems to grow nightly more attrective. It will be repeated again to-night with tne aid of the Yankee Pedlar; dances, sorgs, and for the second time, the popular drama of the Dumb Savoyard. We are id to learn that M’selle Yates is convalescent, and wiil, in all probability, be enabled to appear to-mor- row night. Cuancery Svir.—The suit brought against Geo. Roberts, of Boston, by Thomas Roberts & Co., ‘wholesale druggists and sole proprietors of Parr’s Life Pills, 304 Broadway, for an attempt to issue a spurious imitation of this valuable medicine, has been made absolute by the Court—of course George Roberts, of Boston, has been removed from the agency. From Havana.—The Alabama, arrived Saturday trom Havana, Lid i, us our regular files of pa- pers to the 24th inat. e observe nothing impor- tant in the papers except the arrival and installation of Captain General Don Leopold O'Donnell, the newly appoiated Governor of the lylnnd «1 Cuba, in the jlace of Covernor Valdez. The new governor entered upon the discharge of his duties on the 20th instant, and immediately issued a decree tor new municipal regulations The weather co tinued very warm when thw Alabama sailed, and business of every description wee verydull The yellow fee wee scarcely thought of.—-N. 8. Zvopie, et Latest rao Mexico.—The Virginia Antoinette, arrived yesterday trom Tampico, which port she left on the 2ist inet. Tampico hes been exceedingly unhealthy for some ‘ime past. By official returns, it appears that duriog the last two months, about 750 persons have fallen victims to the epidemic. ; The rumor that the Yucatan Commissioners had been ordered to depart is confirmed. There is now no doubt that the war between Mexico and Yuce- tan will speedily recommence. “i The Willem Penn, bouad for this port with a cargo of salt and segare, put into Tampico on the Ith inst., in distress. She has been condemned and sold; but the authorities would not permit the sale of the cargo. From private advices, obligingly furnished us by a friend, we learn that the Bi Charge d’Aflaires had suspended all official intercourse with the Mexican government, aad demanded his passports, and it was theught that ere long the British equad: ron at Jamaica would arrive and demand satis faction. It is believed by the resident foreigners in Mexico, that the restrictions imposed upon them by 4 coastant euccession of decrees, is to force them rither to become Mexican ciizens, and thus sub. jeet their property to taxation, or to leave the country This policy all the foreign ministers have protested against, as a violation of treaties, guaranteeing to the stranger all the rights and privi leges in the way of the trade enjoyed by a Mexican, citizen The British flsz, the exhibition of which, as » trophy of victory by the Mexicans, has caused a nueh trouble, it appears was originally discovered inthe koaosack of asailor, who had been taker, with the Teaans, since contined at Mier Almoat every day brin w decrees to Tampic: from the seat of gover , IMposing additiona) restrictions upon foreign commerce, as well ne apon the rights of such foreigners as reside in the country —NV. Orleans Merald, Oct. kt. SECOND EDITION. ELECTION RETURNS Received This Morning by the Albany Boat. From the Captain of the steamboat South Amer- ica, from Albany, this morning, we received the Albany Evening Journal, and slips from the Albany Argus, to 4 P M. yesterday, from which we gather additional election returns, from the middle coun- lies No returns have yet been received from the southern, western and northern counties, except the reporied result in the city of Rochester. lt is supposed that the democrats have elected their Senator in the 7h district, as well as in the Ist, 24, 34, 4th and 5:h—and will probably have a majority of the Assemblymen, although less than last year.

On further search, he found a fellow snugly stowed away in one of state rooms, and handed him over e watchman,who landed him safe atthe police, where well known as an old thief, named Charley Stewart. He succeeded in gainivg entrance by crawling through the sky light into the cabin. Tuert at tae Bowery Tueatae.—On the 28th of last month, @ boy named Richard Eilis, offered a $50 note of the Butchers and Drovers’ Bank, to John Murray, tailor of Prince street, in payment fora coat. Suspecting that it hed been stolen, Mr. Biaay refused to take it, and arrest ed the boy, who subsequently confessed that on the 26th of the same month, he stole the bill frem the pocket of Alfred Brewer while he w: leep in one of the offices attached to the Bowery theatre. The young rogue was fully committed. Loox Ovr.—Some genius who lives by his wits called yesterday at the store of B A. Starr, 328 Water street, and ten yardsof velvet, valued at $30, to be sent to 63 Madison street, where he would pay tor it. A boy was despatched, and in a few mioutes the man returne4 to the store, and informed Mr. Starr that he had given the wrong number, as his house was 193 instead of 163.

Bates Founn.—This gentlemen, who it wiil be remembered, leit his residence in the upper part of the city,on Wednesday morning, the 26:h of last month, to purchase some articles of stationery in Broadway, enc who hes been missing since, was found dead yesterday, in the slip between Horatioand Jane street, with an ine’. sion made in both his arms, sufficient to cause death by hemorrhage, in ashort period of time. It is presumed that he has committed the aot while laboring under men- tal alienation of mind, ashe has heen considered hy po- chondriecal for some time past. He was perfectly easy ip his pecuniary atfsirs, having retired from business some time since, and w: A wealthy. ‘The jury re- turned a verdict o} a stat mente] derangement.” Scatoep to DeatH —The coroner was also called'o hold on inquest on the body of a son ot Peter and Ann residing at 77 Orchard street, ayearold.

She got up, got drunk again, went to bed, and when the Coroner's inquest was held, was so intoxicated as not to be able to ive any testimony relative to the case, worthy of belief. he jury returned a verdict of "Death by negiect,in con- sequence of the intoxication of the mother.” It should have been manslaughter in the fourth degree. Deatn or Jane Stewant.—Mr. Editor—In your report of the case of Jane Stewart in your paper of Monday, it is stated that I certified that the saidfemale died of inflanime- tion of the stomach end bowels, but that there were “no indications of poivon that | could detect.” The body was thoroughly examined by Dr. Osborn and mysell, the brain, thorecie, and abdominal viscera, all and each of hem with the utmost care. Gur report to the jury was, that “Jane ‘ewart died of inflammation of the stomach and bow-ls, but whether induced by poison or not we could not then determine,” as an analysis of the contents of the stomach would have necessary to determine (bis fact. Had such an analysis been deemed necessary, the Coroner would no doubt have hadit dons. J.B. NELSON, M.D. New Yorx, Nov. 8, 1843. In publishing the report ef the above case, we used the precise language given in the affidavit of the above named gentleman, which was that “ the cause of the death is disease of the stomach and bowels, and thet there Were no indications of poison that he could detect.” On this medical statement, the coroner’s jury gave a verdict ot “death by disease of the stomach and bowels.” The facta were, that the woman had been living with a man uemed Richard Stewart, in 19:h street, as his wife. Stew- artleft her on Saturday ,O vt. 98th, and as was reported,had married another woman. He returned to the place where she lived on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 4th, about 5 0° clock and removed the furniture, She became much ex- cited, andheleft the house, About seven o'clock the same evening, Peter Riley, who lives in the same house, heard her moan, and went to her reom, and found her lying onthe floor, vomiting. He went fore doctor, but before he returned she was dead. From this statement we drew the conclusion that a ver diet of death from “ inflamination of the bowels” of one hour’s duration was certainly most extraordivary, ond presumed that she must either have poisoned herself or have been poisoned to produce such inflammationy I! Dr. Nelson believed as we did, and still do, it was his duty to analyze the contents of the stomach, and thus be able to ascertain whether such inflammation was produced by poison, or not, in order that the jury might have rendered ® proper verdict, and rot such an one as was given. forenecttatacetetennintatiane .

M. Splendid Ball by Major B. of B. to General Bertrand —Beauty of the Ladies, &c. §c. Dear Mr. Bennerr,— J cannot rest my head, wearied as I am, upon my pillow, or soothe my raging thoughts with sleep, without giving you a few hints of the ball which came off this evening at the house of Major Johan Baroey. i My friend G. and myself left the hotel at nine to be at the house ingood time for anentrée, Upon ar- riving at the door, we were showa through the ball to the gentlemen’s dressing room, till the ladies had arranged their toilets, and could be hended In by | their attendants. The house wasbrilli ntly illumi- nated, the ball room large and beautifully lighted, the reception room warm to a nicety, the supper grand, all combined, made itone of the most agree- able parties that we have ever had. We are in the dressing room now. See here these idle fellows twisting and turning in every shape around the rom, to while away the time—ihey say, ** tis early yet.” Everywhere, in ali parts of the room, the rudeness of the rising generation is wondertul Everywhere, the glare of mingled ignorance and insolence meets youtacetoface. Everywhere that troop of lads that dignify themselves as ** beaux,” are shocking! positively shocking! and take such liberties with seniors as no generation ever did be- fore. But let us leave this motley mixture of yawning men and staring boys. Now we descend, and here the bull room is. “Lud! what a group tze scene discloses” The air of the ‘ Postilion.” Smiles are on every face—beauty, rich and rare, is jovial here—the boards resound, the walla echo, the whi: perings of joy,and everything goes on as merry as the marriage bell. Now, let us see the ladies. Come, walk the roomwith me. Here, ia the corner, inall the magnificence that black velvet and lace can give to the human form, sits'Mrs. L., the hand- somest lady in the reom; on the rightis Mrs. J., of Philadelphia, the daughter of our host. Js she not beautiful? W., ot Charles street, is next, and looking as smiling as abasket of chips, as she has only one daughter to bring out now; and the next is Mrs. W. ot Franklin street, a lovely ficed little woman. Mrs. B.G., of Mount Vernon place, isthe last of the married women, and adear little wife she is too; all smiles, all gatety, a warm heart and pleasing manners, very popular, and quite admired. But here are the single ladies now The Misses S. are here. See, see— Miss Alien leads the dance— a noble looking girl, and looking well to-night ; and at her side 18 Migs J., who seeuis quite sad and si- lent. What can it be? She looks as if she sat at Eden’s door, and grieved for those who'd gone and could retura no more. Thou artgone. And uextis Miss T., the model of daughters, the elegantly edu- cated girl. She’s pretty, too, and “has all the sweetness of the foreign tongue ;” and with her is Miss W , a delicate, sylph-like beauty, such an one as poets love. She has that beauty which art can but imperiectly similate ; a sweet girl she is—a fairy, too. The Miss McB’sare here ; Miss W., too, and many others too numerous to mention; but—hark, what now, Horatio!—what means this bustle? Ea- tvez Monsieur le Mareschal—here Bertrand comes —here is the most extraordinary man that ever breathed, forhe proveda friendto Napoleon. Here isa man tbat no change on earth could alter—a fast, a firm, unchanging friend of the Emperor. His son accompanies him—a handsome fellow, though a demi barbare, for no tonsor has touched his beard for many a month, and new he is a perfect Esau, though it suits him better than most men. Repu- diation and the ‘sufferers at York” are both here— both unwell, having that shocking disease, a vora- cious appetite. Upon my right stands the Mayor; on my leftthe German Count. Several others, too, are in my mrind’s eye, but time will not permit me to mention them. The last is a long, lean man, with his Jimbs all rattling—no way to reduce him to compass, unless you double him like a pocket rule, and he 1s the last; aud now J close this hurried sketch of what was “happy, jovial end good.” | The Mayor was in the very best spirits, and his entertainment did him credit to the utmost, and he should be forever classed as an amateur of ‘‘ Ge- nius, Intellect and Fame.” Good night.

Bennett, Erq :— I once was in the habit of contributing to your columns, devoted to correspondents. That wat ‘long time ago ;” and why it was suspended, “brought up,” or cut off, you best know. But be that as it may, I have a fit on me just now, and J cannot well resist the return of the old propensity. Almost every body in this village have certain pro- pensities which are hard to be resisted. A young sprig of morality—as well asthe richest, most exem- plary, most pure, and orderly, well behaved, sober minded, charitable, loving and giving pattern, mem bers of our best, most refined, moral, religious, vious, double and twisted, douile distilled, elonga- ted, elevated, cloud touchiog, overshadowing, overspreading, acute angled,smooth, easy, polished, ournished, gilded, set in gold and silver, alamonan: cubies, precious etones, pearis, periumed, made fragrant, heaven-amelling, curioas, mysterious, un- tathomed, wide, deep, broad, thick-set, bloated, puffed up, good, gracious and fashionable eociety— could not resist the jorce of circumstances,” while one of those terrible propensities of human ature was left to act in full force, to the detriment of the honor and satety of a sabbath school Miss, who, it is said, was lovely and beautiful! But at is all there up. The villain paid up, and she is ru tmea! _ Dr. Lardner and Geo. R. Gliddon are the two lionsjot the village. The first is giviog us entertain. ments at the Melodeon, on the abstruse science cf Astronomy, aszisted by Mr. Russell with his Plane- tarium, one ot the most wonderful mechanical pro- ductions of the age. Dr. Lardner is a wonderiul etrelnos He draws full houses, yea, full to the gallery Mr. Gliddon is at the Odeon, for account of the Lowell Institute, unravelliag the Egyptian hiero gliphics, and resuscitating the history of events long since buried in the dark ‘night of time.” Full 3000 persons attend his course four times a week allare delighted, astonished, instructed, enlighten- ed, and elegantly humbugged. Mr. Gliddon pos- sesses an easy flow of worcs, and brings forth facts and explains, adjusts and elucidates each separate topic, or no topics at all, in the most agreeable and convincing manner. In fact, it is all elegant confusion, like the colors of a kalaidescope. Be- sides these rich entertainments, the Lyceum Library Association, et omne genus, are poring forth torrents ot useful knowledge, to enrich the people’s minds The great inquiry seems to be after truth. ** Who will show us the truth, and make the devil laugh 7” The two political parties are now in the full fer- vor of excitement, and all sorts of debasing tricks, meanness and lying, assist to keep up the fever of either party. Geo. N. Briggs, of Pitisfield, who is ‘he whig candidate, is said to be a very amiable, butnota very great man. He isa Baptist religion- tst, and, as well asin most other respecte, an ultra- ist. Heissaid to beat the head of the Berkshire county charitable sewing circle, which, if true, ought to be sufficient to insure his election. Marcus Morton, of Taunton, is a much taller man, and therefore can walk in deeper water. He is de- cidedly a learned scholar and statesman, and under- stands the true science of political economy a8 well as the value ot the Alewive fisheries. Which will be elected, none butt J T. Fisk” can tell. The abolition people are wide awake, and intend to cast nine to ten thousand votes. I think they will; so that itis questionable if there will be an election.

Drak Bennerr,— You have no idea of the strength of the political tide in this region at the present time. Not a news- paper eeitor in the city but is at sword’s pointe with his brothers of the quill, even though he be profees edly of the same political faith, For the truth of this remark, I refer you to the late warm discussion between the Bay State Democrat and Boston Post, both leading democratic journals.
