BOBBY Brooks, and Mr. Townsend, whom every prln-
ter SO much respects. The delay OF the dinner was
rather dlsasteu 10 the company, and several prac-
cal jokes were yenured one of the most pungent OF
which was occasoned by gentleman who shouted,
Silence II you Please. | move that Col. webb takes
the chair this dinner" slight and suppressed slb
laton followed this piece of absurdity-b as II was
not seconded il fell through. We heard gentleman
observe that the proposal was pretty much like the
cry of music, music" raised by the impatient audi
tory of theatre-and he presumed the nominator Of
Webb for the chair was very hungry ana rabld Tor
his dinner Noah looked unutterable things, bat said
nothing.
AT length the doors opened, and the company took
their seats to the tune of Yankee Doodle. The coup
eI that met the looks of the guests was certainly
superior TO the presented by the hall OF the Astor
House-here the walls were bale-here they were
decorated by the star spangled banner, aud The ma
tional coors arranged in graceful folds The proiu-
sion OF vlands on the tables was altogether aslonsh-
ing, and We believe there was goose-for every gen.
tleman present.
twas very pleasant to observe the character of
the company present at this dollar dinner, and
to compare it with the absurd display offolly and I'M
pernence the Webster concern at ten dollars per
head. There the white kid glsved gentry congresa-
ted, and have not yet paid for Their tickets-but the
friends of Henry Clay paid for their admission when
they obtained ,hem-ana there was none Of them
who could not bring his twenty or thirty votes by
the ballot box.
Instead of Col. Webb Dr. Chlds was called to The
tive which could ndace Mr.. Webb TO be present on
this OCCASION which was looked upon as a demon
straton Numerically opposite 10 The one OF which
he was such an ornament at the Astor House. Ii
was said that he came spy, and the remarks
made were any thing but complimentary 10 the gal
liant gentleman. The Courier d. EnqHirer and the
Sunday Neacs were in close luxiapositon-and in
reference to the reporters by whom they were sur
rounded, the former remarked to the latter" hush
take care-don't you the hornets about us 1--WE
shall be sung 10 DEATH"
IfMr Clay depends upon the thews and snews of
New lork-up3n its sturdy master mechanics, and
lradesmen his Alliance is well reposed-the enthusi-
asm IN his cause was heart cheering, and there was
no affected coyness its expression. Heart, hand,
and foot acknowledged sch toast-and the voice
cheered and the eyes sparked as each sentiment ia
vorable TO the Western statesman was promulg gated.
Before proceeding the main business of the even
ing, must state that Mr.. A. Wesh's kitchen has
no occasion to shrink from a competition with that of
the great establishment opposite TO him. He had one
great advantage moreover his bill of fare only cost
one dollar-whe the exclusives demanded ten; be-
sides his carte was in Low Dutch and as no one
could decypher IT, and all mysteries enhance their
value, he surpassed the kitchen French of Boydens
chef-and the dinner must be estimated in the pro-
portion of broken French to sound and unpronounce
able Low Dutch. Here is the Bill of Fare -

AS soon as the cloth was removed the Chairman
gave "The Constitution" which was drank in Ii
quor while il was drowned in uproar.
Then young gentleman With very red face rose
some one called him the {" lllustrious DR.. Schoat,"
he rose with mingled feelings" he had mingled
champagne and sherry, and sherbert, nll he sick
at the stomach. "Mister cheerman," said he, Hen.

Then Mr. David Graham, Jr. rose and made one Of
the neatest speeches that was delivered during the
evening" and introduced "Wm. II. Seward, !" the dis
tingulshcd wing Of Cayuga.
Seward made bad speech-it might be owing 10
cola-it might be owing to " the onnk " We say

bers."
