pondenee between Charles King and Jo-
seph Price, Esquires.
Revolutions never come singly. Like misforunes
or grapes they are brought to market in clusters
The commercial revolution of last spring was the
cause of the political revolution this fall; and the po-
l,ical revolution is rapidly producing similar extra
ordinary change in the customs and habtades Of GER
tain portions of society. We are going back to the
sidered crime, and good ground for punishment.
Among all the festivals got up to celebrate the re-
cent happy political revolution, none has been so
splendid as that given at the Aston Houseand of all
the incidents recorded Of that assembage SO de-
velope the tone and temper of the revelation in
manners as the annexed correspondence between
Charles King Esq, the editor of the Amerit an, and
Joseph Price, Esq, one Of the company. The facts
are simply these Mr.. Price, residing at one of the
hotels, purchased ticket for the Astor Dinner, and
was present. About half past ten on that evening,
Charles King went up to him, and said, "Isyour name
Price - Mr.. Price looked at him and replied, eyes,
strand believe your name is King" Some further
words took place, but the result was that Mr.. King
denied his right to be there Mr.. Price insisted on his
right, but to prevent row, which King seemed bent
on, left the party, with calm determination TO de-
mand an explanation and satisfaction at the proper
time. Next morning "wednesday lasD the following
