If the accuracy Of our statement was doubted yes
terday, we must say that inclined to believe
it will be more credited today-Particalarly after
reading this elegant efusion, with all its beauties
around and about it. In oar statement
'ome exaggeration may have been made. We did
lot the events, but the account was taken from
he lips Of eyewitness. Let Mr.. Horncastle, |
however, for the honor of the liberty of the press,
ave the benefit Of denial in his peculiar Ian
,uage which hope and trust is not the usual Ian
,uage Of the green room Of the National Theatre.
{ it were, it would be in sorry condition, and we
hould be under the necessity of sc ndng immediate

seems to have its FULL share Of hot water-it only
requires at present a small supply Of the sugar and
the gin.
HELL vPoN EARTH.-A very curious and per-
fecty novel exhibition is about to open in this city,
near the American Museum, which will doubtless
sreate.a greater sensation, particularly in the pous
and fashionable world, than any thing that has been
presented to the public for some years past II is
no less sight and than perfect picture Of
hell as the designer |" understands it, from the de-
scrPtions given him from time to time by several
very eminent and rous parsons, particularly those
Of the Presby terrain persuasion.
This curious representation Of hell placed upon
earth 10 TO be statuary one. The idea is taken from
I" Inferno;'' the fire. and flames, and brim
stone, and smoke and cries Of the damned spirits,
and the imps Of Satan, and the angels Of darkness,
and Satan himself, and old Beelzebub, and Apo ven,
and the giants that waged war against Heaven, and |
Pharoah and his host, and Besedist Arnold, are all
fully and effectively depicted and represented. And
ali Of internal fire works 10 be let off dur
ing the representation to give eclat to the whole
Germ.
IL will excite more interest than can possibly
form an idea Of at present and II will be particu-
lary interesting at this time to the people OF New
ork who have been listening alternately to the
verbal descriptions OF hell given by DIR. Brownlee,
and DIR. Ballou, and DIR. Tying, and others
What is not little remarkable, is the fact that many
Of the spectators will be able to recognise great
number OF their acquaintance now FORMULATING
there, whom upon earth they took TO be very Pious
characters We understand this Is particularly the
case with several eminent parsons who have died
since the commencement of the present century,
aad whe whilst living were supposed TO have
secured their title clear to mansions in the skies
We advise all who wish for information spon this
point to examine this delineation oil hell. There
several very vacant places left fer the gentlemen
spe cuators and loafers who frequent Wall street,
and we advise them also to attead the exhibition,
AID what snug quarters are provided Tor them
"whsn they tote ther wood
And coal, down below
The idea Of this exhibitions, was originated by Mr..
Held. a genius OF Cincinnati, which (next TO New
York is one Of the curious cities in the United
States il gives birth to more original talent and
genius than any other city, except this, in the
whole country And we understand that two
eminent artists are now work there In getting up
statuary representation of Heaven il will appear
