FRIEND BENNETT.-While travelling through the
oou'herh states this winter, we whled away many
an hour pleasantly which would have indeed been te-
dous out ior The interesting and witty Herald. AS
soon as we returned to New York my sister entered
her name as one among the list Of your subscribers
Du! 10 our regret we nave some weeks received only
twice, others not at all. You may be assured how
senslby we feel il, or would not thus address
you. Many an hour since we have been i'm the city,
We have amused ourselves when every thing else has
ceased TO please, with the correct and somewhot sa-
trcal description given by your Ariel (who floats on
the surface OF occasion IN quiet way ofthe fashion
able s0irfts.
1t is our intention on Thursday evening" the 30th
nst the doors of present residence in one of the
most fashionable streets Of the city, will be thrown open
10 receive our friends, il being ght ARIEL is
particularly invited to attend. In order to make
evening" entertainment more select, we have not in
yted any of the white kid gloved and gentry who
crowd the steps at Boydens and apeishy gaze at the
ladies passing their time might be better employed
IN endeavorng to learn good manners Neither is the
everlasting pronenader of Broadway invited, who
may be seen there at all hours during the day; we
also omit Mr.. +s+t, who made himself 50 conspicu-
Gus by his many foolish grimaces at the benefit of
MdPe. Augusta. Likewise the prince Of auctioneers
Mr.. :, and lastly Mr.. : > :, who supplies
the onion schooners that touch at this pert with
ropes and scupper nails believe he considers him
self one Of the aristocrats of New York.
Before we conclude we wish to ask you one thing.
Is II not surprising that IN SO enlightened city as
this where the beaux pride themselves on their gal
antry that gentlemen should be allowed TO occupy
the front seats, while ladies remalA in the back!
We never observed it so much as on the evening of
Mdre Augustus benefit there were five gentlemen
q am told they call themselves such,) sat in box
No. = one would-be exquisite wishing TO make
hlp hv fha Df fha
ance two or three times through the evening TO a
lady IN the adjoining box, much to her annoyance :
the second gentleman, the formers cousin, travel
ling drummer we understand the third fascinating
whlpmaker, who, ere long will lead 10 the nuptla
shrine very pretty young maiden the fourth
der of crockery who if not at his store may be seen
on the steps of Hollis Hotel, eating cheese and
crackers; the fifth appeared gentemanly sort Of
young man. Such were the occupants of the front
seat while ladies were biged to sit on the second
and third.
Should you deem this worthy of insertion in your
valuable little paper you will add to the credit of the
city, for such hints coming from ladies' cannot fail in
impressing upon their minds how necessary is polite
| ness in SO public place, at least so think the
Two SISTERS.
REMARKs.-The practice referred to by fair cor
respondents has often been Observed and often point
ed out There is set of young men that frequent
our theatres who have absolutely the manners Of bar
barans They take particular pride in annoying
every within their reach-by loud talking, foolish
remarks, and impertinent conduct. There arc a few
fashionable ceteres who practice the same incon-
gruities We trust that the hint of the Two Sisters
may be taken silently and prof.ably by those con-
cerned.

DEAR BESsErr,-Can you inform me what is the
object of the above associationl Is il not most vii
famous combination of the friends Of the great un-
| hung" who dare come before the public and make
themselves known by their dress, as libertines.-
Please throw what light you can upon H. and obllge
MERCHANTS CLERK.
ANOTHER SoIREE.-Do me the favor to present nv
| compliments to ARIEL ! noticed in the Herald OF
| Saturday last his suggestion recommending the ex-
pedlency OF giving on my part party IN order to af
ford opportunity TO my daughters, TO ferret out that
"tricksy spirit" ARIEL is hereby informed that by and
with the consent Of ny daughters shall give party
at my residence in Broadway, on Thursday evening,
30th instant and which he is respectfully invited to
honor by his presence NJ principle and indeed sole
object, however is the qualification of ARIEL by pre-
sentng 10 his admired view, scene not unworthy OF
his high and peculiar descriptive powers. Therefore,
the entertainment on Thursday evening, will surpass
| in magn6cence, any thing Of the kind that has been
givenn this goody city of Gotham for years past The
large and brilliant array Of beauty and fashion, on that
OCCASION will present galaxy Of gtterng stars, the
brightest 70 be furnished by Stouenburgh x Co. lI9
Fulton street, the brilliancy and overpowcring spen-
dor of whose brightness WILL if mistake not, make
| an impression even ARIEL that will not easily be
oblieratcd. have said, that the proposed entertain
ment is for the qualification Of ARIEL Ii is So for the
reason that the governing motive for the party in
question which Ariel would assign has ceased to exist
| In one word, my daughters know ARIEL. They have
| by means unknown TO me, established his Identity
/ not only beyond question, but even beyond the
| shadow Of doubt. NV daughters, however, are pru.
dent sensible and judlcieus and will not for worlds
betray him; they would merely remark, in passing
that they perfectly agree with Ariel that his eyes are
- not "blue;" on the contrary, they are of dark
chesnut color; they also agree with him that his hail
is not only "black," bu, that il is bushy and sur.
mounting high and noble forehead, with pair OF
superb whiskers 10 match, and that he has counte
nance beamng with the lrradiaons ofgenius wit and
intelligence. LEATHER STocKISo.
P.S. | 70 rot to observe that my old and valued
friend The last of the Mohcans," has so far over
come his repugnance TO the society Of ladies' as kindly
to consent assist in presiding over the festivities
of the evening, on the 30th inst. LIS.
