Mr.. Kean does not by any pocket much
by his trip as he expected, and he consequently
leaves rather dissatisfied, as he ought to do
The state of theatricas in this country has changed
of late years-so also has the temper of the peo-
pie We do not get into Gt Of enthusiasm at
every theatrical importation, we did some twenty
years ago. A few personal friends may crowd around
Kean and persuade him that he the wonder of the
world-but the great mass Of intelligence, think,
speak, and act for themselves. Mr.. Kean a very
amiable young man and passablc actor-but nothing
more, nor will be any thing more. He is by no
means equal to Booth.
THE SPECIAL JUsrIcEs.-Two secret meetings
! of the locofoco members Of the Corporation have
been held during the present wcek-one OF them last
nght-but candidates have been yet selected
| by the party. At the meeting Monday night a
stron fort was made by the Custom House clique
to nominate Major Matsell bat after wasting about
half hour in balotng, he emily got four votes
Milne Parker was then taken up, and he got four
The following the names Of the most promi-
nent candidates.
Major Matsell-supported by all the government
influence very clever fellow
William Shaler-by the conservatives of the Sixth
ward-a tolerable affair but no Scion.
Milne Parker-by the Roarers Of the Sixth ward
an anc lent buck tail, hsrns and all.
John Tryon-by the little paws of the Tenth-one
of the smallast of small potatoes, and about fit for
the office as he is to conver t the Jews
j. r. Ross-by the Indomitables ofthe Fourteenth
ward, ceachmaker, and wants to make a coach to
drive the devil to Undertook.
Lawrence p. Jordan-by the Mayor, and the ia
mily influence of several respectable but imbecile
office inlaw to the Mayer, former
ly lawy Grand spells Epscopalian with s. and
mous hter, might.
| DR.. Hasbrouck-by the conservatives of the 18th
ward-a doctor with variety Of pills, some Of
which he wants to give the police Office.
o. NJ. Lowndes-he claims precedence the
score of past services and is supported by the
servatives and the secret influence Of the wings in
the lower wards Too efficient, useful and honest a
man for the present times.
Justices Bloodgood, Wyman and Hopson, the pre-
sent incumbents, who hope to be re-clected-but
whose hopes may be defeated.
These we believe the principal candidates, but
as the buds bursting all over the country, we
have doubt the buds Of the police Office will burst
in equal luxuriance next week.
