FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,--1 tske the liberty of sending
you an extract frorn it Teens-atlantic publication,
" The History Of New Yolk, from the beginning
of the World to the end of tl►e Dutch Dynasty,
by Diedrick Knickerbocker," alias Washington
Irvine, Es'q. 'lt' This work, which I arts given to
understand was intended as a joke on the " New
York Historical Society," consists of a burlesque
account of the achievements of three Ditch Go-
vernors of the infant Settlement. It is written
With sufficient wit and elegance to bear traosmi-
Oise:on, and though many of its jokes are un-
doubtedly pointless to an English ear, I could not
but he Surprised to find how many of those ori-
ginally intended for the meridian of New York,
were equally at home in that of London ; a proof
that neither the waters of the Atlantic, nor the
difference of climate and scenery, have been able
to eradicate front our American descendants the
characteristics of tlieir forefathers. The follow-
ing passage seemed to me so applicable to our
present circumstances, that I could not resist the
temptation of transcribing it; and 1 might have
found numerous others. Peter Stuyresaut, the
third and last of the Dutch 'Governors, has been
absent from his city of New Amsterdam (now
New York) on an expedition of more hardihood
than discretion. In his absence numerous disor-
ders have sprung up in the State, and particulatly
in his Metropolitan Council.
" These worthy dignitaries," says the saga-
cious Historian, " were no longer the fat, well-
fed, tranquil Magistrates, that presided in the
peaceful days of IVonter Van T►viller t. On the
contrary,being elected by the people, they formed
in a manner 3 sturdy bulwark between the Mob
and the Alministration. They were great can-
didates for popularity, and strenuous advocates for
the rights of the rabble; resembling in disinte-
rested zeal the wide-mouthed Tribunes of ancient
Rome, or those virtuous patriots of modern days,
emphatically denominated the Friends of the
People.'
" Under the tuition of these profound politi-
cians, it is astonishing how suddenly enlightened
the swinish multitude became, in matters above
their comprehensions. Cobblers, tinkers, and
tailors, all at once felt themselves inspired, like
those religious idiots in the glorious times of
monkish illumination ; and, without any previous
s'udy or experience, became instantly capable of
directing all the movements of Government.
But Peter Stuyresant felt highly incensed, on
his return, to find the factions appearance they
had assumed during his absetice. His first mea-
sure, therefore, was to restore perfect order, by
prostrating the dignity of the Sovereign People.
" He accordingly watched his opportunity, and
one evening, ►wen the enlightened mob was ga-
thered tog, titer, listening to a patriotic speech
from an inspired Cobbler, the intrepid Peter all at
once appeared among theni, with a countenance
sufficient to petrify a mill-stone. The whole
Meeting was thrown into consternation—the
Orator seemed to have received a paralytic stroke
it► the very middle of a sublime sentence, and
stood aghast w;th open mouth and trembling
knees, while the words horror ! tyranny ! liberty !
rights ! taxes ! death ! destruction ! and a deluge
of oth,..r patriotic phrases, came roaring from his
throat, before he bad power to close his lips.—
The shrewd Peter took no notice of the skulking
throng around him, but advancing to the brawl-
ing Bully-ruffian, and drawing out a huge silver
watch, which might have served in times of yore
as a town-clock, and which is still retained by his
descendants as a family curiosity, requested the
Orator to mend it, and set it going. The Orator
humbly confessed it was utterly out of his power,
as lie was unacquainted with the nature of its
construction. " Nay, but," said Peter, " tty
your ingenuity, man ; you see all the springs and
wheels, and how easily the clumsiest hand may
stop it, and pull it to pieces ; and why should it
not be equally easy to regulate as to stop it
The Orator declared that his trade was totally
different,—ahat be was a poor cobbler, end had
never meddled with a watc►► in his life,—that
there were men skilled in the art, whose business
it was to attend to those matters, but, for his
part, he should only mar the workmanship, and
put the whole in confusion.--" IVlty harkee,
master of mine," cried Peter, turning suddenly
upon him, with!' countenance that almost petri-
fied the patcher of shoes into a perfect lapstone,
" dust thou pretend to meddle with the move-
ments of Government,—to regulate, and correct,
and patch, and cobble, a complicated machine,
the principles of which are above thy comprehen-
sion, and its simplest operations too subtle for thy
understanding, when thou canst not correct a
trifling error in a common piece of mechanism,
the whole mystery, of which is open to thy inspec-
tion ? Hence with thee to thy leather and stone,
which are the emblems of thy head ; cobble thy
shoes, and confine thyself to the vocation for
which Heaven hiss fitted thee. But," elevating
his voice until it mlde the welkin ring, " if ever
I catch thee or any of thy tribe meddling again
with affairs of Government, by St. Nicholas but
I'll have every mother's bastard of ye flea'tl alive;
and your hides stretched for drum-heads, that ye
may thenceforth► make a noise to some purpose."
" This threat, and the tremendous retire in
which it Was uttered, caused the whole multitude
to quake with fear. The hair of the Orator arose
on his head like his own mines' bristles, and not
a knight of the thimble present but his heart died
►within him, and lie felt as though he comet have
vet ily escaped through the eye of a needle."
I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
A BLACK BEAVER.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.

This contest closed yesr,2rtilly at three o'clock,
and it will be seen that Mr. Alderman Bryilges•
friends had not lost the slilitest pm tion of their
former success, as be still added to his already
triumphant majorityr and, at the close of the Poll,
was no less than one thousand and one 1-head of
Alderman Wood, and nine hundred and sixty-
tout of Alderman Thurp —At a quarter afer tbret
the following statement was exhibited
Alderman Bry,ll,:es .007
Arderman Thorp.
Alderman Wood 2006
Mr. Alderman BRIDGES was now loudly cheered
by his friends on the hustings, and a noire than
usual portion of the persons in the body of the
Hall, as many of the Livery had been induced to
attend for the purpose of obtaining a correct
knowledge of the state of the poll. He congra.
ciliated the assembly on the proud situation he
was placed in, which he said had surpassed his
utmost expectation!. : he 'returned thran his grate-
ful thanks for the exertions they had made in his
behalf, and assured them that so highly did he
appreciate the value of their approbation, that
nothing should induce him to swerve from a jipq
performance of his duty. Front the contention
that existed between the friends of the worthy
Alderman and those of :he opposite Candidates,
very little of what he had to say could he heard ;
in consequence of which Mr. Sheriff Ito,h well
came forward, and declared that if a fair bearing
were not given to every Gentleman, he would dis-
solve the Hall, which was accordingly done ; Mr.
Sheriff Parkins and Mr. Thompson having pre•
viouslv endeavoured to obtain a hearing for the
successful Candidate.

Mr. THOMPSON, after regretting the defeat his
party had sustained, on so important an occa-
sion, said, it was a subject of congratulation to
them that so many independent Liverymen had
come forward in support of the cause of freedom,
unsolicited. He expressed his regret that an ear.

tier canvass had not been commenced, and attri-
buted the failure to that circumstance. Alluding

to the successful candidate, he declared .his opi-
nion to be, that he would not refuse to call Coin.
mon Halls when required. He commented on the
conduct pursued by Mr. Alderman Atkins during
his Mayoralty, and expressed a hope that he
(Alderman Bridges) would not follow his steps.
He (Mr. Thompson) had been described as art
Atheist, but this lie most solemnly denied, anti
expressed his full conviction that no man, whom,
nature had any controul over, could for a mo-
ment give way to such wild theories as those
lie had been described as assenting to. At.
tacheri, as lie was to the principks of Chris-
tianity, it was a source of regret to him, that
those who professed it paid so little atten-
tion to the injunctions of hint who came, not to
destroy mankind, hut to save them. The Son of
God had, through the whole of his life, exem-
plified the greatest benevolence towards mankind,
and had uniformly evinced the utmost regard for

humsn nature ; and were the followers of the
Founder of Christianity tc, act consistently to the
rules laid down, infidelity, blasphemy, and in fact
all the eiils that now predominated, would he
done away with, and wholly eradicated. He theft
proceeded to comment on the conduct of zllr.
Aldeman Rothwell, in attending the late loyal
Meeting in the Ward of Cheap, indulging at the
same time in strong expressions of irony, and con-
cluded by thanking the Assembly for the patience
they bad evinced, and regretting that they had
not given every Gentleman a fair hearing.
Mr. PEARSON (whom \lr. Stevens on Wednei•
day asserted to have left London), came forward
for the purpose of answering the accusations of
the Gentleman (Mr. Williams) who had made
them on Wednesday. After expressing a hope
that he (Mr. %V.) might he heard, he called oil
him to come forward, and substantiate what he
had said.

Mr. WILLIAMS came forward, but scarcely a.
word of What he said could be heard. He was
understood to hare spoken to the same effect as
on Wednesday.
Mr. PliansoN replied, and declined saying any
thing in respect to the character of Mr. Aldet mats
Brydges, as they (the Meeting) had not thought
proper to give him a fair heating. After making
some ironical allusions to the avocation of
Williams, and indulging in some cotntnon•place
observations, he concluded by expressing his sa-

tisfaction at the numbers the unsuccessful
Can ii-
dates had to boast of, which he described as
greater than on any former occasion, lit which a
defeat had been sustained, and hoping that

future occasion they would meet for Ike purpose
of unAnimously electing their Chief Magistrate.
The ;Meeting then quietly dispersed.
