DEAR BENNETT:-I arrived here yesterday after a
delightful sail mp the Sound in the Nimrod, with
that jovial, merry, good-natured Captain Brooks.
Certainly no one could ever find it tedious to take
sail with him-they must enjoy themselves per
force.
This city, for so find the inhabitants call it, is to
my mind as pleasant a place as person could fly TO-
after having dragged out year In the dusty streets
of New York. The man of business will here find
his Wall street, ETC., etc. They have also Lafay-
cite Place, and other places Of which have
learned the The beauty of this place con-
ssts in the neaness of the ample grounds around the
mansions of the citizens; but, what deig hted me the
most, to find that the ladies here had decided
partiality for " dear Mr.. Bennett" Yoa may be as.
sured that there is no person in the demnions OF
Uncle Sam, whose presence would be so acceptable
in this place as your own dear self, including the
squint. The first lady | met with on my arrival
here, (who, by the way j. sweet little blne eyed
before had been in the house half hour, by first
introducing the subject of news papers in general and
narrowing down upon the Herald In particular
Owing to some cause which ! did not understand,
she has not been able to your paper lately, and
consequently has missed your letters from Saratoga;
but, however, made me promise that when returned
l would procure them and send TO her-which, by
the way, i know to be utterly impossible, unless
you will spare them from your flo, as was never
yet able to procure the day after il pub
lished. The ladies are dying almost TO have you
visit them. They arc to hold fair here about the
fourth Of September, and would invite you to visit
at that time; but told them feared you would not
attend; for If you once commenced, there would be
no end invitations Of that kindand your readers
could not afford that-it would be a loss to them
which could not be replaced

you have lost your customary discernment; for

pretty cousin is 10 be fortune teller the OCCASION
She is sweet creature, with full, finely rounded
FORM light hair large laughing blue eyes, fat cheeks,
and lips that twere sin to pass without kiss; she
is the beau ideal of perfection in my mind, and will
undoubtedly be The belle of the place in year or
two. she is quite young yet, only about seventeen

ladies, as the mail is closing. Alden.
