BsIoHroN HousE.-On Tuesday the enterprizing
proprietor of the Brighton House, Staten Island, gave
an enter lainment to his friends.
The one o'clock and three o'clock boats were
thronged with passengers from New York to the
tul ladies, it might have been conjectured that the
Brighton House was to be taken by storm.
Among the crowd, we observed our old friend Mr..
Charles L. Delavan, who has just returned from Nj
agara, and from the cool sheet Of water underneath
VIII CHI he went with couple Of fair ones.
Then there were young ladies and gay gentlemen in
abundance; gay gentlemen knowing that young la
dies always listen to love aften dinner, when the
wine makes them sentimental.
There are few ovcicr places in the vicinity of New
York. There are no where finer buildings. There is
the Pavilion, noble, magnificent structure; with
out exception the most elegant and extensive house
of entertainment in Europe or America. Then there
is Richmond Terrace, with its beautiful villas and de-
lghtful gardens, and at the end of these there is
Brighton House, where you are going TO dine-not
yet. 1t is not SO large nor SO magnificent building
as the Pavilion but in point of internal accommoda-
ton, convenience and elegance, it is second TO
The great attraction Of this spot is the beautiful
view that it commands. But ascend the hill and you
will have the prospect of its browning height.
When you here enjoying the beauties of the
scenery, don't forget 10 porazc. King George the
Fourth built him palace, but death cut him off be-
fore he could inhab it. The Duke of York built a
palace for his reception but dies before it's compile
ton Many have built two palaces for their recep-
ton, bat smash before they enjoy it. Thus do we
raise structures for
"D--n your morality" as Sir Peter Teazle says;
the bell is ringing for dinner.
Let it suffice TO say that il was most excellent
that NJ. Thomas presdes-hat the wine circuates
freeIy-hat the time at length comes for departure.
On getting on board the boat to return home, it is
apparent that the ladies have color in their faces
than when they went from New York, thoagh whc-
Their this arises from the air their exharalion of sp
r,s, the compliments which the beaux are thickly
paying them, to any thing else is difficult 10
| perhaps one, perhaps all Of those causes.
