SIR,-I hope You will excuse the liberty have

that likes to have all mistakes corrected therefore
take the liberty of amending two or three OF your
Washington correspondents, IN his romance OF real
life, about Senator - and his intended. In the
first place, know much as the parties themselves
do about H. for then lived nearly opposite to all the
parties concerned was then girl, say IL or Is
years of age and an event of that kind occurring in
such small place as Lancaster ennsylvanla, could
not be easily forgotten. If should live to be an han-
dred, l can never forget the noise il created among
the Dutch folks. could give you vivid description
OF the whole affair." but forbear merely wish II to
be understood that Mr.. -, was not considered
lo,c, as your correspondent says; obscure ne may
have been for all persons not living IN afashonable
style of life, must TO certain degree, be obscure;
but always understood that his parents were re-

PHENoMENoN IN DAScrNe-A NEW TAsLioNI-
Last evening Miss haywood, the lovely young
daughter of the worthy manager of the Chestnut
street Theatre, appeared in the Mountain Sylph.-
She was most raptdrously received and applauded.
|, myself have never seen her before, but msst
pronounce her at once, the most exquisite, graceful,
spiritueile pure and accomplished dancer now In
this country. There is nothing to be compared to
this young creature on this side of Celeste Tagoni.
Her movements may be witnessed by saints
spiritual pure and full of poetic genius it is. Whata
run she will have! The elite not aware of what
they are losing.
ExTRAoRDINARy Observation-Disclosures AND GIANTS.
Yesterday afternoon we were requested by gentle
man who has just arrived in this country, TO call at
his residence in the Bowery where some wonderful
specimens of the freaks Of nature TO be seen,
previous to their public exhibition. We attended
cordingly, and were introduced to young lady from
England, one of that species called Albinos, with
long and sken hair, white the driven snew, and
skin and complexion banch the purest and clear
est marbe-lke the statue in Horace, minimum lubri-
Gus aspici The most singular peculiarly in the
race of Albinos is in the eyes, the color of which is
pink they are very convex are prismac in their
ever-varying shades, and constantly in motion.
The young lady is in the enjsymen of most excellent
health, and is as plump and hearty any ether girl
of her age The skin of her head is of the color
as her eyes, being pink. We were sorry TO find that
she was deprived of the power Of speech, a. we had
intended 10 have pu, several philosophical questions
to her, which might perhaps have eucidated several
OF the phenomena observable in her.
We were then introduced to very good looking,
well proporoned young mao, from Yorkshire, in
England, ander whose cutstretched arm we passed
with great facility, as did the person with whom they
came out and who stands upwards OF SIX feet-con-
seuueny the colossus mus, be close upon eight feet,
but how many cubts and span these make we do
rot know He is certainly taller than Porter, the
Kentucky coachman, and is much better proportion
ed, as his limbs are robust and his whole appearance
is vigorous IN the extreme-such man as the old
King of Prussia would have given untold Sums for,
could he hare found lady 10 match, that they might,
in DIR. Johnson's phrase, "procreaie procerty,.
We look upon these two persons as the most sngu-
lar that have ever been brought TO this city and have
NJ doubt that when they prepared TO receive Gem
pany Their lree will be crowded. Their doors will
be opened, we understand, in Broadway, en- Monday
or Tuesday seIt-as soon as they recovered frcm
the fatgses Of their recent voyage, and their toilette
completed. We were much gratified by the inter-
view and the curious in the occult mysteries Of ma
ture will be equally 40.

was occupied in the Superior Court by trial of
the pank Of Montreal to recover $4,000 IN notes of
