the upper Police, In which MAJOR Moan was couhsc
we happened prom iscueusy, as Paddy says to ride
back in the same bass" when the following CONVEX
| sation ensued:
Broker.-How do you do, Major, how do you do !!
Severe times, these-lhe pressure is not over yet
Noah.-No! I've just had living proof that the
| pressure is not over.
| Merchant.-And we were likely TO have dead
proof Of the fact Is it true, think you that Webb
has been killed in duel?
Noah.-Duel-and bb-Webb-killed- lighting
duel. Youknow what Sam Weller says, :" never
thought the name of Weller and Cannon could be
coupled; J" so thought the name of Webb and duel
never would have been.
| Broker.-But bad as he is, such thing might have
occurred. Cowards have been, before this, so COM
pletely cornered, to be compelled to fight. Stan
ley, who left this city in the "Matawamkeag" with
the troops for Texas, as great coward and cur
as ever breathed-yet he was shot in duel on Gal
vestsn Island.
| Noah-Ah all but events that have passed cast
their shadows before. Webb never did, never
will have any thing to do with vilainous ape,re"
save in the way of sending expresses to Philadelphia
| to buy it up, on the rumor Of French or foreign
war for which showed him up at the time, in the
| Star.
minds me Of Bennctt-he seems to be showing all OF
you up pretty severely.
| .Noah-Oh, ah, Bennett Oh, yes, Benefits
pretty clever feow-but he's wanting in editorial
courtesy When he was associated with me and
Webb years ago. he never would work well in the
| harness-gct whatever kind oil collar we would for
him, we never could get one to fit him. sometimes
he would pull the whole load of the carriage himself
| and then he would kick himself and us completely
out of the harness. and stand and laugh at us.
Broker.-Well, he's laughing at you all now, Ma
jor most excessively; for he's going up hill whilst
you are all going down. Isn't it SO?
Noah-I have to get out here. Driver stop. must
get out here. Exit Noah.l
Merchant-Noah's a toerabe smart man.
Broker-I never saw an instance Of his smartness
yet. He's so far good natured however, thar he'll
endorse any mans lies in his columns ifhe make
dollar by it.
Mechanically, yes, he does do that, and that's
the reason why reliance is placed upon his publish
ed opinions by the public matters of taste, l,era-
ture, theatricals, the fine arts, &c.
Broker-And then his abuse of Webb is very like
Satan reproving sinthe pot calling the kettle "black
cheeks
Mechanically that's just what Bennett says.
Broker.-Do you read Bennett +!
Merchant-Read him Who don't read him! His
snequaed Wall Street reporis-hs excellent remarks
on the Money Market of the city, and the general
financial affairs of the country-hs valuable compI-
| atoms and calculations upon the currency-hs ex-
tenslve statistical tables concerning the Cotton Mar
ket and its past and present condition-hs useful IN
formation upon the Provision Market-hs forclble,
two-edged, doublehaRded articles, cutting both ways
exposing the political poroons and majestic mounte-
banks Of the day-his showing up of the shin
plaster system-hs tremendous exertions to cleanse
the Augean stable in the newspaper world, and pie
the literature of the country political, moral social
! philosophical, MUSICAL mechanical, and metaphys-
icaD on sound and substantial footing his efforts
in behalf of the poor the Industrious and the work
ing classeshs beneficial plans and projects to assist
the seamslresses-his mastery remarks to the mer-
chants which, had they observed and followed long
since, they would have saved themselves and their
| sons, and their sons sons from sorrow and shame
his uniform and consistent support of all that is good
and beneficial and his nvariabe and indomtable
opposition to every thing like humbug and roguery
Read him aye, indeed do and all my friends. Who
does not read him that has heart TO feel and head
capable of Judging of his own interests?
Broker.-Right, quite right; he is the only editor
that understands, correctly the nature Of the great
monetary operations between nation and nation and
between the component parts Of nation. Before he
started tho Herald, which now seems to be sweeping
all before it, Of us, sir understood the work
| ngs Of the money Market and its bearings upon the
social system. We have all along been blinded and
bamboozed sir, by the corrupt Wall street press and
its ignorant editors for which l, in common with
most of my fellow citizens, shall curse them till my
dying day, whilst on the other hand Benefits name
will only be coupled with blessing.
| Merchandise also with all commercial matters
connected with the trade of this city and country.
Bennett is the only editor that keeps correctly in
formed on those Subjects and the only that dedu-
ces correct nerences from past and passing events.
There mere useful amusing, and interesting nforma-
ton in his twepenny paper, than in all the paragraphs
in allthe Wall papers put together have four
friends Malaga, Spain, twoin Gibraltar, three in the
East Indies and one in China, for all ofwhom as
their agent in N. Y. used to send them the Couri-
| or Il Enquirer, but once sent them weeks file OF
BENEFITS Herald and the instant they recevedt they
all wrote, desiring me to stop the Courier, put their
| names down as subscribers 10 the Herald pay the
money in advance, and send them no other ". York
papers whatever.
The above is literally correct as those can testify
who took part in the same.
