FUNNY SCENE AT THE BowERy.-We
may talk as we please about the burlesque
on manners published by Maryatt and oth-
ers, but scene occurred ut the Bowery on
Saturday night, that if published in either
of the books of travellers, would be regard
ed as the widest fiction. A gentleman,
with two ladies'. entered the dress circle of
the Bowery soon after the play began, and
finding the atmospherevery close, deliber-
ately took off his coat and laid it beside him;
not beng sufficiently cool, he took off his
vest also. Still feeling uncomfortably
warm, he rolled up his shirt sleeves, and in
this way sat out the play.-BenneHs Her.

and its realization creates no unusual alarm
or excitement. The lowest point with af-
fairs on this side has probably beenreached.
The great anxiety which now possesses
commercial men, is to form some estimate
of the prices at which the new crops and
merchandise for the full business will break.
