We have received numerous letters and personal
inquiries relative 10 the return Of Mr.. Bennett we
feel grateful inhs behalf and in his absence fer the
socilude fell on his account, and assure all our nu-
merous friends that they will be well repaid by Mr..
B. when he returns from the vast fund of anecdote
and Information that he will bring with him.
We had expected 10 receive letters from him by the
last Havre packet, bot as its day OF sailing was ap
pointed for the lst Of August, he might not have
known that he had time write by II 10 US, after his
arrival IN Paris. Our readers will remember that the
last letter which he wrote US was dated Liverpool,
july DIST He then STATED that he was then EN- route
for Paris.
By the annexed letter from our London correspon-
dent il will be seer that AIR. Bennett was at London
on the oath Of July and presided at dinner on board
of the packet ship Wellington. He was then on his
way 10 Paris, which place he doebtless reached
in time TO witness the celebration of the treis jours
as he proposed in a former letter He probably wal
ted ill the lst of August before he commenced wr
ting his account OF the scenes and sights which he
witnessed in Paris, and OR his route there. These
letters we shall therefore receive by tie Silvie de
Grasse.
Apropos, Of dinners we have been waited upon by
a committee of gentlemen relative to grand dinner
10 be given 10 Mr. Bennett his return from Europe.
All we can say IS that although Mr.. Bennett will
doubtless object TO il himself, for own par; we
approve the measure, we'll deserved compliment
10 an industrious, talented and deserving gentleman.
