inatroes of this city not to he alarmed at the ap7
peanilice we make;---we are :ref of 'those 'out.
landish geniuses who swarnr in New' Yerk,-- who
live by their wits, or rather- by the little wit, of their
neigebours, and who spoil the genuine honest Ante-
tastes of their daughters with Fret;ch slops and

it be understood as our firm opinion, void of all

.This department will be ender the peculiar direc-
tion of ANTHONY EVAIIGUREN, Gent. * to whom
all, communications on this subject ore to be addresS-
ed. -This gentleman, Item his long experience in
the routine of balls, tea-parties, and assemblies, is
eminently ettalitied for the task he hes undertakers.•
He is a kind of Patriarch in the fashionable world,
and has seen generation after generation pass away-
ihto the. silent tomb of matrimony, vebile 'he re.
Males unchangeably the same,- He ean recount the
amours and courtships of the fathers, mothers,
uncles, and annts;and even grand-dames, of alPthe
belles of the preseut day, pioVided their pedigrees
extend so fat back without being lost in obscurity.
As, however, treating of pedigrees is rather art un-
grateful task in this city, and_as we mean to be per-
feeily good•hatured, he has promised to be cautious
in this particular. Ho reculletts perfectly the time
when young ladies used to goaleigh-ridingt at night,
without their mammas or grand-mammas, in short,,
without being matronized at all; and can relate
a thous.ind pleasant stories about Kissingbridge.
He likewise remembers the time w hen ladietepaid
tea-visits at three in the afteinooo, and returned be-
fore dark to see that the house was shin up and the
servants tie duty. He has often played cricket in
the orchard in the rear of old Vauxhall, and remem-
bers when the Bull's-Head was quite oui of town §.•
Though he has slowly and gradually given into mo-
dern fatatioos, and still flourishes in, the, beau-monde,
yet-he seems a little prejudiced in favour of the dress
rind manners of .the old school; and his chief cony.
mendation ot a new mode is,," that it is the same
4., good old fashion we had before the war." It has
COSt tiS much trouble to make him confess that a co,
tilion iSsup'erior to a minuet, or to i unadorned crop
to a pig=tail and powder. Custom anti fashion hate,
however, had wore effe.et on him than all our lee.
tures and he tempers so happily the grave and ce-
temoeious gallantry of the Old school with the "
fellow" familiarity 'of the new, ;that, we trust, on
a little acquaintance, and making allowance'for his
old.fa7hioned prejudices, he will become every con-
' siderable favourite with our readers ; —if not, the
whrse fur themselves, as they will have to endure Ilia
eolitspany.

In the territory of criticism,
Esq. 'has undertaken to preside ; rind, .though we
may all dabble in it a little by turns,
.yet we base
willingly ceded to him all discretionary powers ta
this roped.' though Will has not.had the advan-
tage of an education at Oxford, at, Cambride, or
even at Edinburgh or Aberdeen, and though he is
but little versed th Hebrew; yet we have no 'doubt
.he will be !bond rally competent to the undertaking

• This gentlentan bears a great resemblance to Will Hem. y-
eolith, in the Spectator, at least his office is of a similar na-
ture to that- otlson's antiquated Beau.
t it was formerly one of the amusements oPthe people of
New York, as well as of other towns to the Northward, to
ride out lit sleighs in the winter season by torch-light, to
some whets they partook of a ci.,uce and supper.--
'EMS social abiuseineot is now nearly fallen in disuse, by
the rt.finement of modern marinas ; having been exchangedfor the more polished, but formal assembly at the 4.:lty

This allitsion to the increased size and oitent of the city
