Providence and Pa,Dtucket Pna Coaches.
BY referring to our advertising columns, our
readers will perceive that line Of Post Coach
es has been established, to run hourly between
this town and the fourishing village of Paw
tucket. This arrangement will accommodate
the public, and If properly managed-and we
doubt not that it will be-we think cannot fail
TO be highly productive to the interests of the
proprietors. The mterc curse between Pawtuck-
ct and Providence IS very great, and those who
have business in that beehive Of industry, as
it has been very appositely called, will find
themselves vastly accommodated by the Post
aches.
The Company have undertaken tho project
with determination that it shall succeed, and
as they are men of enterprise and indus
try, it cannot be doubted that they will receive
the patronage of the public.

Hon. John G. Hright, of Ohio.-A few
weeks since, when offering some incidental re-
marks relative to Mr.. Wright, we stated that
he was the original founder and Editor Of the
Western Herald, a valuable and interesting
paper published at Steubenvillc, Ohio. In say
ing this, we committed an error, and cores
pondent and particular friend of Mr. Wright,
residing at steubenvllc, has requested us 10
say, that the Herald was not established by
that gentleman, but was got up by the present
Govesnor Miller, Of Missouri and further than
contributor, Mr.. Wright has not had any,
thing TO do with it. The Herald is at present
conducted by Judge Wilson, for two years Ed
itor of the Philadelphia Aurora, whilst that
paper was published by the celebrated William
Duane; and is an able and efficient supporter
of the present administration.

REVIEW OF THE MARKET.-We this day
present to our readers a Review of our Market,
and shall hereafter pnblish it every Saturday
The undertakings is new to us, and novel to the
town, but we nevertheless hope it will prove ben
efcial in its tendency. As TO the accuracy of
the Review, we think it can be relied upon; but
should any errors be discovered, we shall be
glad if our mercantile friends will correct u.s.
In getting thing of the kind under way, there
is some difficulty, but as we become familiar
with the subject, we trust we shall be enabled
10 render it more interesting. To the very in
teigent gentleman who prepared the Review
for our paper, we are under many Obligations
and in return for his kindness, salute him
with our unfeigned thanks.

DoRRANcE SrREEr.-We believe that the
decision Of the freemen in town meeting on
Wednesday last, relative to the propriety OF
receiving Dorance Street, as public avenue,
will meet with the appreciation of larger part
of the public, though it is likely that some may
object to it. The question thus far has been
settled, and for the remainder, il only remains
for the parties to appeal to the tribunals of the
country for further adjudication. From plain
statement Of the facts, we learn, that the Dor
rance Street Association some years since,
supposed that the Street in question had been
legally received, and were surprised, when
informed, that, in consequence Of an inform
ality, on the part Of the authorities, it was re-
jectcd. On the subject matter in dispute, be-
tween the Dorrance Street Association and
their opponent, we have an unequvocal opin-
ion, but if it were expressed, il is not probable
that any particular weight would be attached
to it, and as the affair will probably be adjudi-
Gated at no distant period, we refrain from ex-
pressing that opinion.
In an affair of this description, we cannot
conceive it necessary. that any heat should be
excited, and we hope, that the public will be
prepared to meet its issue, without making the
affair public question, and without indulging
in unnecessary acrmony.
II is Of vast importance to the town, that the
street be laid out and surveyed; and as both are
already accomplished. we hope iha, the press

particular. Has the book been reviewed there
Has any reviews Of other places appeared
there | cannot account for II. II these mis-
sionaries have that much influence mean to
obstruct work so popular, and from so pop
ular an author, than our country is in dan
gerous situation indeed, and every man that
has a voice should raise il against them, as the
man who would deprive me of the bread ex-
tended to me by the hand of charity would rob
the dead. Respecting there hostility TO me
there is no mistake.
In fact there have no great reviews Of the

knowledge. | expected a friendly one from
you; but if you have have never seen it, for,
dear sir, have not time TO look at a paper. But
my greatest misfortune was that my two great
literary friends, Col ***** and the Rev. **s.s,
were unavoidably and pressingly engaged in
this city when the Tennesseean came out. My
bookseller in Boston says that no great re-
view has come TO his knowledge. Did you see
that in tie Weekly Messenger Of this placer
1t was short but pithy. The Tennesseean is
very popular here, but the Sketches have i'm
mortalized my name. One great disadvantage
to me in your city is, that though all the edi-
tors, with one or two exceptions, are friendly
to me, yet you are hostile 10 each other; for
instance 1858. But it is my own opinion
that without some fortunate turn in my favour
from some able pen will not be able TO realize
any advantage from the Tcnnesseean. have
several other works ready for the press, but
will never be able to get them there without
more aid.
Mrs. Royal is certainly very odd kind of
fish, When she was last in this town, che
took occasion to declare that she was the
Walter Scott of America, and because gen.
tlcman had the audacity to doubt the fact, she
called him "darned rascal" She will pro-
badly pay us another visit, ere long, and if any
one should chance to meet in the streets a
sickly-looking old lady, about seventy years of
age, wearing straw bonnet decorated with
green veil, which looks as if it had been dis
carded by some one of the antediluvians, and
mouth ornamcnted with long pipe, he may
rest assured, that " that is tho famous Mrs.
Royall.'

elusive benefit of Mr.. Hans, gentleman who
has been among some time, and who by his
correct department, is entitled to the patron
