The Great Britain was telegraphed at 12 o’clock, on yesterday, but it was a quarter past two before she arrived off Governor’s Island fart, The first in- dication of her approach was her salute to For, Hamilton, which was heard, but barely so, by the spectators on the Battery. From this moment the utmost anxiety was betrayed by the masses to get the first glimpse of her, and when they did, it was expressed in vehement ejaculations of ‘ there she is,” “ la voila,” * c'est alle,” §c., §c. The first view was very indifferent ; the state of the atmosphere being dark and hazy, and very unfa- vorable to show her vast outline in the distant per- spective. Sailing up very slowly, she at last, steer- ing in mid channel came off the Battery, where for the first time an impression was made worthy of her magnitude. All that has been said of her in foreign jcurnals have not done her justice, and noth- ing but the evidence of the senses is adequate there- to. She is truly beautiful ; her vast length was stri- kingly exhibited in contrast with that of the North Carolina, towards which vessel she directed her course, and turned as if on a pivot to steer her course up the North river, saluting the fort as she passed. At each of her masts she displayed afflag, and her deeks seemed a miniature city for population. “That isa sight”—* She is beautiful”—was the cry onevery hand, while the bustle and rush of the crowd in that direction as she passed between the Battery and Governor's ‘Island was altogether im- petuous, and betraying an anxious desire to have her in sight as long as possible. Her rate of sailing was slow, it being fully an hour from her coming in sight until she was lost to view among the forest of masts ia the East river. Of course the crowd was immense, and yet it would have been still greater, were it not that expectation was damped a little by the diurnal, reports of her arrival that had gone,out for two or three days pre viously, and which only ended in disappeintment, until, at last, she did come in all the pride of her glory. On returning from the animating spectacle, our reporter saw thousands rushing down in hopes of being in time but, alas! they had to put it off urtil a more convenient season. When the noble ship was first seen from Gowanus, a cry of joy went up from all beholders. From the heights about Gowanus she presented a grand and beautiful appearance. The shores from Gowanus to Brooklyn were completely lined with persons eager to catch a glimpse of the new and wonderful visitant, and the wharves in Brooklyn were covered with men, women and children. As soon as it was known that she had entered the harbor, hundreds were seen running for the water. All wanted to see the Great Britain, and all were well repaid by a view of the noble ship. After rounding the battery on Bedlow’s Island,she stood up the East River, on the Long Island shore unti! nearing the Fulton Ferry, where two guns were discharged ; then she crossed over and ran along, closely hugging the wharves. This was no ex ected ; it was thought she would keep close on the Long I-land side, and then cross over. But she was kept close in on this side, and was brought up jwith her bows on the end of the pier. She reached this poi it at exactly half-past three o’clock, half an hour ufter she rounded Bedlow’s Island. An attempt was made for upwards of an hour to bring her along. side the pier, but in vain, in consequence of the strong ebb tide, and the effort was given up unti slack water Her appearance at this point was mos beaut ful. She appeared like a great castle above the »ser, her bows resting on the wharf at the foot of liston street, and her stern some two piers fur- the down. Atevery mast were colors streaming ; at (se gaff'a large union flag of England flew gaily in tie bree: first mast had the Austrian flag ; the s-cond mast the Russian ; the third,the Spanish ; the fourth, the French tri-color ; the main,the union jack of England; the foremast, a blended flag of England aud America,—the stars of this country blended with the blue, white and red of the union of. Eng- land, and at the lower quartering the stripes. She w .saccompanied to this spot by the steamer ‘‘Hu- guenot,” crowded with passengers, who saluted the mighty leviathan of the deep, as she got to her berth, with three hearty cheers, and the vessel shortly afte; landed her passengers at an adjoining pier. The scene at this time was most stivring. Every point that could command a'view of this great piece of naval architecture was crowded with spectators The piers were jammed full; the yards, decks, and rigging of every vessel in the neighborhood was manned and boyed by such numbers as never be- fore were thought of, the tops of houses, and every window that could command even a bird’s eye view were filled; the piles of timber in the different yards ia the vicinity were covered with anxious specta- tors. The vessel was continually surrounded by fleets of boats of every description, containing men, women, and children; more than one steam packet loaded with passengers came out of their course to take a glance at this far famed craft; some indeed were especially engaged for the purpose, and were crowded with ladies and gentlemen, the for- mer waiving their handkerchiefs, and the latter cheering. All appeared to be gratified with the safe arrival of this most splendid vessel. It is truly surprising to think that amid so much excitement and the great throng of spectators no ac- cident of material consequence occurred. This was in ag e:t measure owing to the excellent police ar- rangements which were adopted under the direction of Justice Matsell. This gentleman was on the whart with some fifty men of the new police before three o’clock. He took possession of the wharf by closing the gates and placing his men at the entrance and around the sides ; and causing all vehicles to take up a stand on the opposite side of the road with the horses heads towards Clinton street, and placing others of his men to keep them in proper order.— He also placed others on board of different vessels on the piers and parts adjacent on either side. This kept all the would-be turbulent spirits in subjection. Finding that this drew off most of his force from the wharf, he sent for « 1e-inforcement of some twenty-five or thirty more to protect the passen- gers when landing, and Keep the wharf clear, which in a very shert space of time were on the spot. in the meanwhile the paseengers were landet from a vessel near the bows of the Great Britain in perfect safety. . The only accident that was kuown was that of a boy who fell from the Edwins, lying on the other side of the wharf, into the river, ashe was eudeavoring to get a little closer than vis neighbors; but he was ina few minutes | e of the many bouts that were near | pick od up by « by, with only « good ducking and a little fright — Tt was about seven o'clock when the vessel brong':' along side the pier, and thousand then en- deavored to board her, to get a view of her interior, but were kept in good check by the police, who re- mained on duty until atte hour last evening.

Ina day or two, we will be enabled, by a correspondence from the capital, to give a full history of the negotiations for the organ, embracing everything connected with these developments, and alse detailing the declara- tions of General Jackson on the subject, previous to his lamented death. From the facts now in our possessioa, we ure per- fectly satisfied that the mysterious stars in the letter from General Jackson to Major Lewis, meant no others than Mr. Ritchie and Major Heiss, of Nash- ville. We will make the fact perfectly apparent, and show that these mysterious stars—mysterious no longer—could not, in any circumstances, have been intended to designate General Cameron, of Penn- sylvania and Major Walker. It is very true in a pre- vious letter written by General Jackson on the same subject, and addressed to Francis P. Blair, the old hero made use of some expressions rather dispara- ging to General Cameron, because he had some rea- son to believe that that gentlemen was engaged in some negotiations for the purchase of the Madiso- nian, in connection with Major Donelson. It will be recollected, however,that General Jackson wrote two letters on this subject. The first had reference only to General Cameron, and that this 18 the iden- tical one introduced in the celebrated speech of John C. Rives, a copy of which we expect to receive ina day or two with the letter. The Lewis letter, published in Nashville, alluded, we are quite certain nuw, to Mr. Ritchie, as the ren- egade politician, and to Major Heiss, now conduct. ing the Union. Our expose of this business will be extremely interesting and amusing, showing off at full length the declarations and movements of Mr. Polk—Ritchie—Heiss—Clay—Lewis, and the de- parted hero. Lerrer Waivers ar THE Warterinc Pxaces.— The lucubations of most of the letter-writers at the watering-places are quite amusing and characteris- tic of the craft. These geniuses get their board and lodging gratis, and, as in duty bound, go to work and puff the munificent hotel-keepers and their es- tablishments. Now, all those who have visited any of these places, know very well that when crowded they are the most uncomfortable quarters in the world. Saratoga is, perhaps, the most purgatoria place on the continent. What with the noise, dust and confusion—ill-cooked dinners—damp bed- rooms, damp sheets, negligent and insolent ser- vants, and a host of minor nuisances, this famous resort is, indeed, any thing but a paradise. We in- tend to give a full and perfectly truthful report of these watering places. We will tell the truth of all the hotels we have beenat. We care nothing about their kindnesses, or their gratuitous attentions and their free tickets. We are always able to pay our travelling expenses, and do not wish to be indebted to any one. Lirerary Curiosrtigs From THE Far West.— Some time since we amused our readers with rich literary specimens from the address of Parson Brownlow. We have now another gem of the same description to offer.

This is certainly one of the richest things we have met with in a long time. As the schoolmaster said of Cassius M. Clay, so we think we may say of Jesse Batten—* We'll hear of that fellow yet.” Grant Tuorporn auias “Lave ‘Topp.”—The famous Grant Thorburn gave us a communication a few days since, which we present to our readers thie morning. It seems that (Jrant, during the last quar ter of a century, has been communicating his lucu brations to a variety of jouroalists gratis, but tired of this unprofitable labor, he applied to us to publich something, provided we would “pay.” We acecr dingly asked him to put his own value on his pro ductions, which he at once stated, and we paid him en the spot, without binding ourselves to purchase any more of his intellectual wares than we chose. Grant isa remarkable man. He commenced life like an industrious man, making and selling nails, and now he has attained such a degree of clevation in the intellectual scale, that he can be ranked with the great literary men of the age—Willis, Morns Park Benjamin, Epes Sargeant, Father Ritchie, and all the Napoleons of the press put together. Reporters at THe Tomus.—The Tribune of Sa turday last, referred to what it terms an associatio: of the reporters at the Tombs, for the purpose 0, levying black mail and “hush money.” We have every reason to believe that the charge is not with outfoundation. The difficulty is to break up the system. Both police and reporters have a regularly organised system of financial operation. We have heard of one individual, connected for a long time with the papers as a police reporter, who has man aged to realise out of a few dollars a week, a very handsome property. Some time ago, no less than $300 were paid in a single case, in which a western judge was concerned, for hush money. This infa- mous system must be broken up. We are ready to do anything in our power to put an end to the sys- tem. We pay our reporters well, and never can tolerate in any instance, their making a dishonora- ble use of thefr position on this journal. Anti-Rent Troveirs.—We give in another co Jumn a few further particulars of the Anti-Rent diffi- culty in Andes. Sheriff Steele is dead of the wounds he received. According to this intelligence, affvirs among the “Indians” are in a worse state than ever They are becoming more desperate and recklers. and stop at nothing to accomplish their ends. After such a cold, deliberate murder as that of Sherifi Steele, it becomes necessary for Governor Wright todo more than simply to issue proclamations and offer rew ard ae) OrriciaL Movements.—Major Gen.W, Scott arri- ved atthe American Hotel yesterday, and proceede« the same evening to Baltimore.

Pant Tueatke.—To-night, the long expected opera, Les Huguenets will be produced, with M’lle Calvé, Wmes Casini and Co-uriot, and Messrs. Arnaud, Douvry, Garry and Bernard, This opera will surpass in splen” dour anything yet represented by the French Company in this city. This musical composition, which has been deelared by?connoisseurs, to be unsurpassed by any for, mer effort of the author, has strengtiened the fame of Meyerbeer, whose reputation had already spread far over the world, by his opera of Robert le Diable. The talent ofthe one rear and musicians, lead us to expect great success for this opera, and we believe that the perform. ance will be very ramen # attended to-night. This is the last representation but three of the company at the Park, and the public will do well to go and hear thix opera before the departure of these artists. Next Thurs- ening, M’He Calvé’s benefit, on which occasion will be given a spectacle selected among the operas, in which this artist has acquired her great popularity in this country. Bowery Turarne.—Under the management of its gen tlemanly and enterp: i§ proprietor, this new theatre seems destined to outshine all other similar houses in this city. The elegance of its interior, the splendor or its theatrical material, the talent of the a ingaged nightly attract numerous audiences, and it is crowded to suffocation from pit to the dome. To-night, Bulwer’s celebrated play of Richelieu, with a very powerful caste, will be give: We notice among the artists who are to appear in this play, Messrs. J R Scott, Davenport, Hen- kins, Clarke, & , and Mrs. Sergeant and Phillips.’ This will be followed by the “Sleeping Beauty,” a grand le- gendary spectacle, nightly received by the public with japturous applause. The scenery is of the most gorge: ous description, and surpasses every thing of the kind, ever exhibited to the eyes of a New York audience. Castie Garven.—The Ethiopean troupe have been engaged for a series of performances, beginning to. night. The success which the Ethiopeans have already met with in this city, will no doubt induce many to go and see them. The remaining parts of the entertrin. ment for this evening, will consist of the usual budget of overtures, danees, &c. ke Go and see. Nipio’s~Mnx. H. Pracipe’s Benerit.—To-night thi loon will be filled of course. The ‘Grandfather Whitehead of Placide, is a perfect gem—nor is his acting in the Nervous Man a whit less excellent. Brougham, who is the only worthy successor to poor Power, makes h’s first appearance this season in the ‘Man of Nerve.’ There is aneasy, sly humor about Brougham, that is ir. resistible. Chippendale acts in the same piece—a capital complete combination of comic strength. All the worid and his wife will be at the Garden this evening. Vauxnatt Ganven.—A delightful place to spend the evening—so think the Bowery folks, who nightly throng there, to forget, in the entertainments and the comfort o! the place, the fatigues of their business, and shelter themselves from the sultriness of the city atmosphere Pico and DejBegnis are still in New York; they will leave next week for Newport, and give one concert on Monday the 18th, before they proceed to Canada, The people and visiters of Newport may expect from those two celebrated artists a good musical treat.

F RAL CEREMONIES OF Freperic Wrtttam WALL! — Yesterday morning, about 8 o’clock,"tbe friends of t! late Mr. Wallis began to gather around his former resi dence, No. 14 Dutch street, fur the purpose of paying their last tribute of respect to one they loved. By nine orclock, the 38th regiment—commanded by Lieut. Col, Drucl which Mr. Wallis had formerly held the post of Lient. Colonel—the Pythagoras Lodge of Free Masons,and the Knickerbocker Lodge of Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, had arrived and ranged in Fulton street: the military being in full uaiform —the Odd Fel- low and Masons, in their citizen dress, such being the wish of Mr. Wallis, At this time, the friends of the de- ceased and his family, entered his late residence, where a prayer was read in a solemn und impressive manner, by Rev. Mr. Verren, Pastor of the French Episcopal Church, atthe corner of Church and Franklin streets. The procession then formed ant commenced tieir march in the following order :—Band—3sth Reziment—Grena- diers, officers of other corps—Jefferson Guurl, as a guard of houor—Carriage of the Clergyman —the Under- taker, Hearse and Pall Bearers, and carriages of the Masons and Odd Fellows. The procession move’ up Chatham street tothe Bowery, up the Bowery to First street, across First street to Second Avenue, where they entered the marble cemetery, the band playing a dew! march. The body was here deposited in a vault, there to remain only while a short service should be per- formed, a few rounds of musketry fired, and then to be taken to Greenwood Cemetery. The vervice of the Episcopal Church was now read in French by Mr. Verren, after which Dodworth’s cornet band, in @ solemn’ and beautiful style, played Old | Hun- ired. Seven rounds were now fired by the Jef- ferson Company, over the body of their deceased comrade. The military were then dism’ the march to Greenwood being considered as too fatiguing for them A line of carriages, filled with members of the Pythago- ras Lodge of Masons ; Knickerbocker Lodge of Odd Fel lows, and friends of the family, now followed th down Broadway to the Sonth Ferry, cro: drove slowly to Greenwood Cemetery. When arrived jolemn tolling of the bell at entrance re- that they had come upon a solemn errand The procession moved along till they reached the vault belonging to the Brown family, where the coffin was con- veyed by the bearers, to a vault where one of Mr. Wal- lis’ children is buried, on the hill which overlooks Sylven Water. The body was placed at the entrance of the vault, while the solemn service of the order of Gdd Fel- lows, was read in a beautiful and impressive manner by Mr. J, B. Dickinson, a member of the Knickerbocker Lodge ; and as he closed with “earth to earth, dust to dust, ashes to ashes,” the Noble Grand, Mr James C Stephens, dropped a handful of earth upon the coffin The Masonic brethren each threw upon ita sprig of ever- green; and the body of their departed brother was depo: sited in the vault, while the eyes of many around wei wet with tears. Upon the coffin w ilver plate, hear- ing the inseription—Frederic Will ied Aug. 7th, 1845, aged 45 years, 10 months, 20 days. Mr. Rader, Paymaster of the 28th regiment then, in the name of t family, rendered thanks to all who ‘had participated the mournful ceremonies,and the}procession moved away, 1 feeling of deep solemnity pervading all hearts, Much credit is due to Mr. Pope, the undertaker, for the order- ly and quiet ner in which the fuueral was conducted. Mr. Wallis irth a German, and emigrated to his country since ; previously to which he had lived some years in France, and was there en- gaged in the revolution of the memorable ‘three days” of 1330. He waa one of the founders of the Pythagoras Ma- sonic Lodge of this city, in which he held the offiee of aster for two years, and at the time of his death was Past Master in the same lodge. He had also been a mem- her of the Knickerbocker lodge of Odd Fellows, since its ormation. He was also Grand Representative of the jrand Lodge at Frankfort to the Grand Lodge in New York. He was known by many, and loved by all who knew him. In him the 38th regiment have lost a good somrade—a gentlemanly and efficient officer-the Ma- sonic and Odd Fellows Lodges a brother, whose lo: they will long feel ; our city has lost a good and order! sitizen—his family a kind, affectionate husband ani her, and a dutiful, loving son, ® Great There is afactconnected with the ause of the spreading of the late great fire, from its ‘lace of commencement, which ought to be generally known. Whenthe fire first made its appearance, it was liscovered by the insurance watch, and the hose under heir control was stretched to the fire, but when letting on water the hose bursted, paralyzing the efforts of the vatchmen; and not being able to apply water at that im- vortant crisis, the fire spread to the exploded building, terminating in an extended conflagration, originating, in the opinion of the men present, from that apparently trifling cause, “leaky leaders.” It is said that an effectu- al remedy, immediately applicable during the existence b sovered, in cases of bursts, c in Jeaders. But like many useful im: s been neglected to be applied, though known, as it by some of the insurance companies, ind which is now before the corporation committee on Fire and Water; and if reports of its efficacy are true, it ought not to hi hus long delayed. “In addition and diminished effect in ita use, through iremen are much annoyed, particularly in the cold season of the year, by the forcible spirting of water through leaky leaders. Drownry.—Yesterday afternoon, while bathing at Go- ney Island, a young man named John Mctlwraith, a car- penter, Deceased was a swimmer, but was supposed to vave been taken with cramp, us he went down almost without a strnggle. By reference to our advertising co- lomas it will be seen there is a reward offered for the recovery ol bis bedy. ATTEMPT at Suicipg AND Ixraycicroe.—About one vclock yesterday afternoon, a female, having a child ir ey arms, Was seen to approach the Albany basia, North r, and cast herself and child into the wal Phe persons who had seen her jump, immediately went to the place and rescued hier and the child taking her to the Police office, she proved to be Johanna "lynn, the irst wife of Michael O'Day, whose arrest, on a charge of bigamy was noticed in our Poiive reports @ few days smee.

The old Yankee spirit is developing itself. Always stir- ring, ever changing—never satisfied. Truely, we Americansare a singular and curious race. Motion, the object of our existence—change our passion.— Every where nature spreads before us a scenery en- riched by her choicest treasures, but we fly our home for distant regions in search of pleasure, wealth and happiness. The lovely, delicious plains of our fruitful West—her placid streams and warb- ling groves, presenting, a perfect paradise of exis- tence almost untenanted by man, is dggerted by its sparse population, who sell their farms to new comers, and with their household goods and gods, float down the rivers in search of a more distant home. In their headlong career, the Rocky Moun- tains present no barrier. They cross with rapid steps Its snow-crowned summits, flood the plains of Oregon, and stop not till they come within the roar of the vast Pacific. So we Gothamites quit our noble harbor.teeming with the most beautiful views: the ee and velvet fields of Staten Island; which the hand of man might render an Eden, and hurry off tothe distant noise and bustle of Saratoga, be- cause inexorable Fashion there holds her motley court. Of a verity, if the Engiish are an eating— the Irish a ara ibe tin French a talking—the Ita- lians a singing—the Germans a metaphysical—we Americans are a travelling population. “Thus does a false ambition rule us, Thus pomp delude and folly fool us.” The last few days, however, have brought us, thank heaven, adifferent set from those described in our last letter. We have now a fair representation of the beauty, fashion and wealth of the different States. Gentlemen of the old school—troops of gay, laugh- ing, merry, bright eyed maidens—exquisites trom New York, clothed in the latest style by Hindhaugh, the great modern artiste—with Beebe and Coster’s supertine castors encircling their silken and perfum- ¢|ed ringlets. Dandies from Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore and New Orleans—lovely, enchanting an bewitching young widows in and out of mourning— blondes and brunetes of everyfshade, all come to drink cengress water, talk politics, sentiment and nonsense—to carry on flirtations, concoct intrigues, lay pians and roam through the neighboring woods and groves, parade the piazzas, eat good dinners, and have a good time, as the Yankees say. _ Among the distinguished arrivals, we might men- tion the names of “ Lord” Willoughby, of Brooklyn; Walter Bowne, ex-Mayor ; Edward Gartis and_fa- mily ; Professor Olmstead, of Yale College ; Mr. Hart and lady, of Utica, accompanied by their beau- tiful and highly accomplished daughter, Mrs. Bush ; David Graham, te , and family ; Governor Dudley and family; Gen. Clark ; Capt. Gough, of H. B. M’s 33d regiment; Hon. Ogden Hoffman and lady; D. Leavitt, President American Exchange Bank; C. ‘Dyer and lady ; Henan Hoppin and lady, and the lovely widow of the late General Carrington, of Pro- vidence ; Lord Wells, one of our wealthiest com- mission merchants, and a great many fashionable and wealthy families from the south. Next week will undoubtedly bring a host of others. In fact, the fashionable season has not yet commenced. . The loafers and parvenues still hold on, however, in spite of these arrivals, andit is really laughable to behold a proud, refined and wealthy gentleman. sit ting down to dinner between his boot maker and his tailor, with his baker opposite him. Sic transit glo- ria mundi. After dinner we have music at the “United States,” from a splendid band engaged for the season, while we promenade around the broad piazzas, and through the beautiful grounds. Let us for a moment stand one side and gaze upon the bril- liant company. Do you see those lovely and charm- ing girls just issuing from the saloon? The nearest 1s the accomplished and interesting daughter of Mr. O—— of Baltimore. On she moves— “Her cheek all purpled with the beam of youth, Mounting at times to a transparent glow, Asif her veins ran lightning ;”—— disclosing a foot,too,that might floaton the prismatic rays of a rainbow without disturbing its nots. Her form cast in Nature’s finest mould, might rival ti: cestus of Venus. The languid and quiet lustre of those large blue eyes sheds the soft and radiant light of a summer’s sunset, while her sweet low voice sounds like the harmonious warblings of angels at Heaven’s jubilee. Her amiable and beautiful, but more terrestrial sister is in close xttendance at her side, to whom she clings with the tenacity of the gracetul and tender vine to the more sturdy oak near which it grows and flourishes. Buzz—buzz—buzz—what a clatter! Hearken to the brilliant repartee and sparkling jest. How they langh—-how they giggle! Chit-chat from innume- rable tongues—from lips that the rose might envy— aided by eyes more brilliant than the diamond which glistens in the most costly bracelet. Surely the lever of perpetual motion moves between a wo- man’s lips—but who shall listen and not be capti- vated? Here comes « Broadway exquisite, with his torquette levelled at the voluptuous, blooming, facinating women who throng the corridor. “ He looked a lion with a gloomy stare, And o'er his eyebrows hung his matted hair.” Now moves slong a “lady aowager,” fat, flaunt- ing and purse-proud, with an air of mock dignity assumed for the occasion. In her train are two fair daumsels, scions of the stock matrimonial, whom, dragon-like, the old Jady keeps within the constant circle of her eyes. The chaperon’s head is deco- rated with a turban that would have won the heart of the immortal and immaculate Solyman the Se- cond. Her hands, coarse and brawny, speak chap- ters of long years spent in dabbling in soap suds and frying besfimeaku a While snes sittated: she WOR tho heart of Mr. ——, a rich old ship-chandler, who died, poor man, leaving his buxom widow with two blooming daughters and a fortune. And here they are at Saratoga, mixing with the aristocracy of New York and Philadelphia. The old lady has entirely forgotten the time when she vended small groceries in Water street. As forthe daughters, they are sen- timental, artificial and pretty, on the loek out fora husband.f ‘Oh, Moses !” as John Sefton would say.

There was a hop, too, at the United States, where the grand ball of the sea- son comes off to-night. Concerts are quite the fash- ion now, and we were informed by a young Eng. lish nobleman, who arrived this morning, but who wishes to remain incog., that a rich treat was in store for the sojourners at the Springs.

The lunited arrangements for the reception of Visitors at these springs is much complained of, and many persons have been obliged to leave imme diately after their arrival, for the want of suitable accommodations for themselves and friends. Thig is decidedly wrong, and we hope that the interval between the return of another season, will be em- ployed by those whose interest it is, in removing the evil. We do not desire, however, this place to be- come popular in the sense that other watering places are. Already complaints are made by well-bred people, who have been in the habit of Tesorting to particular Springs for years, that they have become absolutely intolerable on aecount of the mixed so- ciety, which is drawn together by the glitter of fashion, or the prospect of successtul adventure. He who has fled tor a short respite to the retirement of the country, of course does not wish to have im- posed upon him the transported essences of every impurity from the city, no matter how glittering the labels in which top may be hawked about. As et, there is very little annoyance of this kind ta be be met with here. The company is too small for vulgarity to go abroad unnoticed, and individuality is not lost in the hurry scurry of fashionable move- ments. Therefore, we say to all disguised ‘ snob- bery,” keep aloot, for you have no chanee of ming- ling your base elements with the refinements of your betters ; and whether you be a barber’s clerk, or a tailor, a Peri Row politician, or the “boots” of a Broadway hotel, your nefariousness is certain to be detected A Among the recent gossip, 1 have picked up the following.

Stockton and his as- -istant,Mr. Gray. The enclosed co ig will perceive, was written in reply to that article. It has been re- ‘used a place in the columns of that paper—it is open to the assailants of those gentlemen, but not their lefenders ; why, it is not for me to say. I, there- fore, appeal to you in behalf of those gentiemen to give it place in your valuable paper. I flatter my- selt that this appeal will not be made in vain, to one who hus ever been ready to defend the innocent, and do justice to all. [look upon this article, not as an attack upon private character, but as defence of honorable men, most basely assailed behind their baeks. By doing this act of justice, Mr. Bennett, you will merit the gratitude of those gentlemen, aud re- ceive the sincere thanks of th.ir friends, whose name is legion. : i 1n the Union of last Friday { noticed an article signed ‘ Postea Plus,” assailing the character of the government agents on Lake Superior, und chat- ging them with malversation im office. ‘I hese ehar- ges are doubtless correet, because the writer in making them, is constrained as he says, by a regard to teuth and the public interests. Did he not muke a mistake, Messrs. Editors, in wenting yee inte- jee or is it an error of typography % doubtless the tler. We are a grateful people, and ever ready to re- ward the meritorious. We wish but to know that the recipient is worthy, ere we lavish honors upon him, it 18, therefore, that we desire the name of this “* Postea Plus” that we may be the better enabled to judge of this fact. 1s he a man of undoubted integ- rity? Is he a man of veracity? In fine, 18 he a dis- interested individual? These facts we can only judge ot by a personal acquaintanee with this * Postea Plus.” I beg you will overcome his extreme diffi- dence, Messrs. Editors, and give his name to an admiring people 1 know that it has frequently been charged against us, that republics are ungrateful, but is not this an evidence, that in most cases it is “The course of true love never did run smooth,” they had to encounter the most determined opposi- tion on the part of the lady’s parents. The father raved, and swore that his daughter should not be sacrificed, and brought her away from the heat of the city to cool her passion in these mountain breezes. The lover was determined not to be out done, and pursued them hither, taking care to keep himself incognito to all but the wistful eye of the mistress of his heart. He passed the live long night under her window, which was too elevated to be at- tempted in the style of eastern gallantry—pouring forth sighs, not to the silent moon, but to the over- hanging arch of his lady’s bosom. At length all was arranged. A carriage was got in readiness, and drawn up behind an obscure angle of the build- ing, while the opportunity of some confusion in the crowded drawing room was taken advantage of for the lady to aneahes escape. In an instant she was snatched into the fervent, rapturous embrace of the gay Lothario,who was bearing her off in triumph to the carriage, whena sonen hand fell upon her should- er. A struggle ensued, the lady screeched and dropped insensible. to the ground. Hurried foot- steps were heard along. the portico, and soon the scene was surrounded by friends, who, hearing the noise, had come to the rescue, but not until the in- dignant father had inflicted a severe drubbing upon the offender, who was glad to flee away from the place, leaving his pilfered treasure behind. The truant little minx was closely confined to her room for a day, and afterwards made her ap- pearance just as laughing and playful as if she thought she had practiced a most excel- lent joke, and was already in humor for ano- ther. I saw her in the drawing room the next evening dancing the Polka, and making herself as merry as_ possible; butever and anon, the fringy curtain of her eye, falling upon its bright and liquid orb, threw over a countenance of oriental softness, ashade of pensive thoughtfulness. : Yesterday a large splendid barouche was disco- verable in the distance,drawn by four fine greys, and moving along towards the Pavilion as majestically as Dy ecal Duke’s; and there was no little anxiety to know who was the distinguished owner of it Lhe riddle was soon told. The barouche was drove up to the door, the steps let down by a servant in livery, and out walks a well known manufacturer ot que medicines from New York. He stopped, as we are intormed, to take some refreshments at Canajouarie, and while there, he observed a little boy searching for something his carriage. H. demanded rather crustily of the “ little raseal” what he was doing there, to watch the boy modestly re dhed, that “ne was looking for some of his father’s trusses.” The boy’s futher had sold the Doctor se- veral hundred dollars worth of trusses some time ago upon credit, and soon afterwards received his pay in the shape of a notice to present his claim be- fore the commissioners in bankruptcy.

Editors, the ques- tion will naturally recur, would an honorable man, and one worthy of credit, thus secretly stab at the character of another far away from the scene of tus attack, and then skulk behind a fictitious signa- ture?—for the publie will recollect that General Stockton and Mr. Gray are on Luke Superior, 1000 miles from here, and of course unable to confront him or confute his charges, whilst he, the assailant, or rather assassin, is here on the spot. We are a eredulous community, and most generally ready to swallow down all we read in a public print, but really this article smells a little too fishy, even for our Known gullibility. fi ? Mr. Gray, who is charged with being a tool of the whig party, is even now but a youth, he was en- gaged for some years running the boundary line be- tween Texas and the United States. from there he was transferred to the N.E. boundary, where he was engaged twe years; from thence to Lake Su- perior, a8 assistant Surveyor of the mineral lands. Thus you will perceive, that he has had neither time nor opportunity, if 80 disposed, to meddle 1n polities ; fad he done so, however, it would hive been in the cause of democracy, for he is, as he has ever been, a democrat of the deepest die, a8 his friends were before him. Now, Messrs. Editors, { will not suppose for a moment that this “Postea Plus” has made this chats against Mr. Gray, knowing it te be false, or that he had any sinister object in view, or special purpose to subserve in Washington, or that he ever dreamed of enlisting the sympathies of the democra- tic community in his behalf, by thus, accidentally, of course, placing in a false position, and charging with being the tool of the whig party, a man who has ever been as sterling a democrat as there is in the country. Not forthe world would I harbor such a thought, tor does he not say that in making this charge, ae was constrained by a regard to truth and the public interests. x There did arrive here, Messrs. Editors, some two weeks since, and, as [am informed, is still in the city, an individual trom Lake Superior, with a budget of charges against General Stockton and Mr. Gray, and urging their removal trom office. This individual held the office of assistant mineral agent under the aforesaid Gen. S., receiving there- for government pap to the amount of $1,400 per an- num. On General S's arrival on the Lake, some twe months since, he found this disimterested cham- pion of the public interests, instead of being enga- ged inthe duties of his office, for which he was receiving the modest sum above named, him employed in the service of a copper mining company, exploring for ore; he has at once ordered him to discontinue his agency for this eompany, and attend to the duties of his office, for the periormance of which he, (General S.) was held responsible by the Government. This man- date, interfermg as it did with his pecuniary ur- rangements, he kicked against most buisterously ; and threatened him with the displeasure of the men in whose service he was employed. The unswerv- ing integrity of the agent was net to be shakeu by any such menaces—but be insisted that as his ser- vices were paid tor by the Government, he must do his duty or resign. He did resign, and agreeable to promise beat up @ crusade among tho-e interested with him, to have General Stockton and Mr. Gray ejected, and more pliant tools substituted in their stead. No, Messrs. Editors, this working for the Govern- ment entered not into the arrangements of this delicate, kid glove aristocrat; he seems to have sought the appointment to facilitate him in his specu- lations in mineral lands: and because General Stockton was not willing that the Government should pay him for acting as the agent of a copper mining company, he turns round and attempts to smother him in Ths own mire, by charging him with malversation in office; but fortunately tor himselt and the public interest, General Stockton’s character is too well known, and stands too high sercaaons, the Western country, to be reached by the shafts of malice or bafiied kuavery. Now, I do not say that this individual and ‘ Portia Plus” are one and the same. Not at ull—for in that case it would leave the inference to be drawn, that he was actuated in his aitack by private and personal motives, whereas he distinctly says: that he is constrained by a re- gard to truth and the public interests—there can be no connection between the two—none whatever. In conclusion, we ask his name, Messrs. Editors, his name we want and must have. We would dis- en ae merits Lage pe fees moe oa sg up to the admiring gaze of a doating people, who never fail to aunanions the patriot, who is influenced in all his acts by a due regard to Trura anp THE Pustic INTERESTS.
