LITERATuRE.--MIss SEDowIcK--The Harpers
have published small volume Of stories from the pen
of Miss Sedgwick 1t is ingenious and amusing, but
wants essentially the saroir rirre. Miss Sedgwick
is a beautiful woman-an intellectual woman-a SUI
penor woman-a fine woman-but she is not au. fat
in the little delcaces and in,rcaces Of character the
kitchen, or real life She borders on the visionary,
she has too much Of the bas bieu. Science know.
ledge metaphysics generalization, have all united to
TO destroy nature, simplicity, truth, and point in
literature. The age of novel writing is gone. There
IS not book of fiction worth reading. This is the
age OF newspaper paragraph writing We must re-
turn to the simplicity beauty and elsquence of the
early ages. Moses, and the Hebrew prophets only
wrote in newspaper paragraphs-short, brief pithy,
pointed, and going at to the heart and under
standing. So did Homer, and the Greek poets-so
did Dante and the troubadours-so did all the great
originals Of every nation.
Wemust go back to the original spring, and take a
fresh horn of true genius.

BY this date May IL it will appear that the issue
of this trash was peconcerted and therefore, fraud
upon the community. Indeed it would appear that a
large class in Philadelphia prepared beforehand,
with plates types and every thing, to issue illegal
currency as soon as the banks suspended. We are
not without suspicion that the whole thing was carved
and concocted by the banks themselves. The above
note is dated 18th May-it could not have been pre-
pared in single day. What then? 1t is concocted
in fraud-circuatcd in illegality-and will end in dis

THE BowERY THEATRE.-The more we reflect on
the recent denouement of the Bowcry Theatre, the
more we are satisfied that Hamblin and his agents
are at the bottom of the various srataseEs to upset
Dinneford and to get the theatre out of his hands.
When the Bowery Theatre was burned down.
Hamblin attempted in vain to rebuild it. He called
upon his friends to come forward and assist him. His
friends knew him too well and would not bulge
Hamblin looked round for pigeon, found Dnneford
doing good business at the Franklin, with $4,000
in his pocket. He Immediately set work, persuaded
Dinneford to embark in the enterprise knowing WELL
or calculating what the result would be. Draper the
cashier of Dinneford, was recommended by Hanblin
His SEMITIC management of the finances of that es
Enlistment would really appear TO have been direct
ed with perfect system SO as to produce special
explosion at a designated time. While Hamblin was
in England, Draper managed his cards here SO as to
rpen the catastrophe upon the head of Dnneford the
moment his original employer arrived. The financial
conspiraces, therefore, that have ruined Dnneford,
began TO develepe themselves as soon as Hamblin
set his fost in this city.
In few days we shall enter upon full and critical
history Of the Bowcry Theatre since Dinneford re-
built it, We are possessed Of documents and facts in
abundance The expose will be amusing and inter-
esting. Hamblin, Draper, and Counsellor Sanford,
the agent of Hambn, will all cut very distinguished
figures We particularly request the attention of the
Commander in Chief Governor Marcy, to the rela-
ton in which his Major General stands to this curious
affair A Major General of New York Oh! Let
not the spirit of General Morton ever hear it

that Mr. Howard was originally removed for endea-

that comfy which was due his associates. He was
defeated, and removed. Mr. Thompson, a very
worthy citizen, was appointed in his place. After a

wrote penential letter to the new President, who
resigned and let him take his own place. Mr.. Thomp-
son has long since retired from business, and never
had any wish to hold the Office longer than

Mr.. Howard any finger in the Sl02 note?
