EIrsD0rA7Es.-We give the annexed corresPon-
dence - We received il, and hand over the United
States frigate, to the New York pilots, for any
fnrther remarks, reply The latter boys can take
care Of Themselves; and can the former. In re-
ference to the hostility which Captain Kearney sup
poses We entertain towards the Jersey pilots, or
commissioners we beg leave to set him right But FIRST
let's take drink [Here both parties take weak
sling.] And now clicking our lips] we protest
that we have hostility to the Jersey pilots
than we have to st. Peter, or st. Paul ;-only we
prefer the blessed Virgin to both. The New York
pilots have the handsomest wives, and no mistake:
but even when the Jersey pilots bring erciusire
rews, we pay hem double what they get from the
Wall street press: Is that hostility, Capt. Kear-
neyl Ifit is, we have "nothing to say"

ASNIvERsARY OF THE CRY TRACT SocIgTY-In
our perambulations through this great Babel,
Wednesday night, we took peep into the Taberna-
Gle, and there found great gathering together Of
the "fahfu" to listen the records of the deeds Of
this Society during the last year. The room, hall.
or chapel, was filled to overfowing and it has sell
dom been our lot to witness fairer or a brighter
collection OF women than en- this occasion. At seven
s'clock the performances commenced with some
verytfne music, by way Of overture; and then
the dHrtan drew up, and the principal actors ap-
Posrsd upon the scene.
The first was the Rev. George Potts, who, of
course, addressed the "Throne Of Grace" Then
came Mr.. Walker, who read the report OF the Trea
surer, and showed clear az that two an d
two are four, that although large sums were given
last year, still the management out Of pocket
and more money must be had, il the ladies intended
to carry out the good work. Then came the annual
reports, by which il appeared that during the last
year "A, ,4S3 tracts had been distributed by the
ladies Of the societyby which means I04 persons
