MY DEAR BENNETT
Allow me to address you by this title, for
have been constant reader to your Invaluable jour
nal since its punishment, therefore feel well
quainted, although not personal
New Orleaus is at the present rather lively more
so on account Of the number Of strangers than from
| an animated business. The fashionabes have been
housed for number Of days on account Of the cx-
IRENE cold weather for the season, but the tempera
ture having materially changed since the opeaing Of
the month"; they all again on the p1Ue isplaying
their plumage. The Creole Ladies, as you are well
aware, are beautiful and their charms not little
hanced by their excellent taste in styles Of dressing
The modstes o!this city are realising vast

OF their pre.emineRce
The theatrical season commenced about month
since, at the St Charles and New American, under
the managemeu ut Of Messrs. Ludlow and Smith. The
French troupe arrived about ten days since in the
LValliant. The opera is in full blast at the Thea
tire 4Oreans, and the house nightly crowded from
parquette to dome They have the most efficient
orchestra in the country, 30 said by amateurs. The
American is also jammed every evening They have
equestrian performance one week succeeded by
dramatic on the ensuing, and have very fair stock
company. c. H. Eaton and Leuellyen, with his
horse "Timour,' are performing star engagements
at this temple. The St. Charles has been very poor
ly attended since its opening this season. Da Mar
bic and r. Tasistro are the bright particular stars
n. q
OF the season. The manag einent announce success
sion Of stars from the the itrical rma engag
ed,-among them Mr.. and Mrs. Wood, but from ru-
mors they intend to return to England without Vi
sitting the south. From present appearances the sea-
will be Ioosing one fer Mr.. Caldwell, although
he deserves a better fate from the public.
The society BALI Of the elite have not yet com
menced; there has been several fashionable assem-
blies however at the city hotel, and report says,
well conducted. The masquerade balls at the Wash
ingtsu and Orleans are well patronized, but the
or part Of the gentlemen cndeavor not to recognize
each other on such occasions. These Cyprians
have full sway At the former Ill. Last Sunday
a grand parade day for the military and the nur,s
rous well organized companies, as they marched
with full ranks, elected much pr Use from all obsery
ers.
The Churches on Sunday are well attended this
year. The motto Of most of the congregations IS
Reform, and there are doubtless a many sinners

by letter writers, but from what mstive know

"UxcLrAs THrSos."-Passng from the Halls Of
Justice the south eastern gate Of the Park yester
day, about o'clock in the day, we counted sixty
seven live swine, Of all ages syes sexes and condi-
tions, from the gaunt over grown boar furious for
want Of food down 20 the yeriest squeacr that could
not be let su,-without its mother. This swarm Of
clean animals were running about seeking for ssme-
thing devour grubbng and roofing amid the heaps
cfmelting snow, putrid vegetables, kitchen garbage
and other filth which that detachable thoroughfare
is 20 redolent Of And this display, it must be
portion Of the Sixth or "Nasty ward the morals Of
w. ich district are under the legislative Ct Mis-
ter Assistant Alderman Felix O'Neii, a wise aud
le,rusd MAJ rate, who cannot conseiento u.y, per-
init beef steaks t. be sold IN a shop without sub
jecting the offender TO a heavy fne, and imprison-
menf in 'the tomb,."
Now the Mosaic law pronou,ced swine to be the
uneea thing, but our municipal fathers have rever
sed that decree, and pronounced the flesh OF

not legalixed place Of monopoly.

the trouble to record any want of courtesy which

the bsdy Of william II. Jeaerd, Esq a native OF
Vermont, aged thirty, VIII, committed suicide q,

for before day light, and held the irquest at the ey
trssrdinary early hour Of O'Clock ia the NOR

not, according to cas,oro, leave the minutes, or
notice Of the proceeding at his Once and re-
porter has been snabe 70 see either the documents
or the Coroner since. His deputy pleads Ignorance
Of the facts; and in this state Of things, the re-

Daring Sunday, we made repeated enquiries in the
proper quarter, hut could obtain no information,
simply because the deceased was Of that grade in

Had IL been q poor loafer, maddcned with rum,
