the folio wing in the Star
AsroR HoUsE.-We requested to say that
MIR SrETsON did not authorize the statement made
in the Courier aud Enquirer OF this morning respec
ting Mr.. Bennett.
Rvus there is but little rec aired be said by the
nature of the case. Mr. Bennett, on Thursday last,
declared his intention of going Boston on Monday
last on certain business matters connected with his
paper Being in feeble state of health on Monday,
he postponed his departure until yesterday morning,
when himself and lady left for Boston, by way Of
New Haven. Before he went, the paragraph above
quoted from the Courier seen by the proprie-
tors of the Aston House, who assured Mr.. Bennett
that they did not authorize il, and that the same
rooms he had lust occupied were al his service
when he returned. OF course respectable or right
feeling believed tie barefAced lie Of the "Cou-
r;er' for a moment; but still deem it dae, in the
absence of Nc. Bennett, to make this simple state
of the facts and to add, that the proprietors Of
the Aston House authorize fully and unequivo-
cAlly to deny the statements ofthe Courier"
Tae " Coarier' knews that all its ridiculous aud
crazy attempts TO aiure this paper, Mr.. Bennett

deserves, as it has received the universal cxecra-
tion of the community. We satisfied 10 leave it
