Of sailor, the captain of the maintoP requests me in
the poltest manner possible to ask you if you were

stern of ship? the mantop bowllne from the foot

can box the compass? The tepmen IN general send
their respects, and say If you are up TO the questions

nett, thou shalt hear from me again.
Revival OF BusISEss.-The Board of Trade un-
chartsring the Banks and directing the legislature
and the wing committee regulating the press. Great
times and long ears somewhere.
THEATRICAL SArIRE.-The piece Of the "Pick-
wickans" at the Park Theatre, exces rounds of APP
plause nightly, and is witnessed by crowded houses.
We could, however, suggest an improvement. When
Mr.. Pickwick is brought up before the magistrate for
intruding into ady's bedroom, under rather suspi-
cous circumstances, the worshipful fanctionary who
is represented by the individual whom DR.. L-w
always desgnates as Mr.. P-p-ppp-ovey, says, "Mr.
Pickwick this getting into ladies' bedrooms by mis-
take al night is a very bad crime, and prevails to a
a.. L. l.
pat sopto. You must suffer some" Now all this
is very WELL far as it goes and is evidently intend
ed to allude 10 our worthy Recorder, and his bsnai
dictum but is stolen from the Hersid and the pet
ty larceny has not been dexterously perpeuated.-
Mr. Povey should turn over files of last week, and
he will perceive wherein he fails. He ought to know
how Mr. Foote acquired the title Of the English Aris-
tophanes; not by silly mimcry of the phraseology
ofa prominent character but by introducing him bodl-
ly on the stage In the present case Mr. Psvey should
catch the living manners of his great orgina-,he fin
ger the nose the spectaeles flung back, the com
pacent grin upon his assessors, the turning up the
right cuff and the rubbing the same upon the knee
let him initiate these, and study our report OF his die
tion and "Dcar Dick Rlker'' stands confessed. Mr..
Povey should 90 through with it, or not attempt il a,
ell.
THE PaINsE DE JoIyvILLR.-The French residents
of New York on the qui rire, awaiting with ca
gerness the arrival of the Prince de Jolnville, the
youngest son Of King Louis Philippe, who is eute-
nant on board l. Hereuie. three decker now on her
way from Rio Janero to this city. Great doisgs are
expected when the royal sailor makes his appearance
and the ladies will have quite jubilee the
sion; dinners, balls, sorees, and all the amusements
and gaantries Of the times will be in requsition; and
really when yosth Of royal blood adopts the gor-
GUS profession Of the navy from choice, his merit las
Dr. Johnson observed of literary nobleman) should
be handsomely acknowledged.
