MOVEMENTS OF THE MILITARY HALL PARTY
Major Noah and Redwood Fisher are getting on
pretty well with the organization of the "third
party al Military Eall. They had a meeting the
other evening, and passed resolutions decidedly APP
proving the very sensible message of Captain Tyler
This very explicit avowa of the MAJOR and the
sub-postmaster, including their tail to the ninth joint
in his favor, will greatly relieve the apprehensons
recently felt by the President, unto sickness.
"Tell your Emperor" said an Italian barber, TO an
officer of Napoleons guard, in of the campaigns
in Italy, "that since his action OF the bridge of
Lodi, have conceived pretty favorable opinion
OF his military talents" " | shall certainly do so,'
said the gallant Frenchman, "for it will relieve the
fears and crafty the pride of my emperor very
much, to know that you approve his conduct"
This barber was almost equal to Jem Grant,
whoi lives and shaves at No. l, 3 or 3 Ann street.
Major Noah and his committee did another good
thing vote was passed TO affix the names of all
the committee TO the resolutions, and to publish
them in the New York Herald. The names were
withheld by the gallant Major, for the same good
reason, probably that sprototype, Sir John Falstaf,
would not march through Coventry the head of his
recruits. The Major also withheld their publication
from the Herald, with its vulgar thirty thousand cir
cation, in order give it genteel and respectable
insertion in the Union, with its exclusive three hun.
dred and ten-the ten being in the upper wards
assigning as a reason that the Herald was opposed
to the President and his cabinet
Very good, Major-we owe you one for that,
Don't be cast down, however, Major Noah. OF
late your behavior has been tolerably fair-much
better than Webbs, who has returned us only bad
temper and bad words, for our efforts to get up
petition in his favor-and our liberality in sending
him while in prison, box of capital segars from
the immortal Henriques, 81 William street As
soon as Mr. Taggart is ready to leave his present
Office, we shall move heaven and earth, including
the third party" to have you restored to the Sur
veyorship. Mr.. Van Buren, thinks restoration in
politics, is good, sound, sober second thought
why should il not be so in your case
Keep up your cheerful spirits, Major. We go for
you again on trial-but don't trust too much TO pro-
mlses.

HOLIDAY PREsKNrs.-A number of most masni6
cent ANNALS have just been received by Messrs. Ap
pleton 81 Co. of this city. Amongst them is the
splendid work by M. JULES JANIN, entitled The
American IN Paris" This volume, which is got up
in the very first style of London art, has already
gained degree of popularity rarely attained by any
annual And this is not at all surprising, for NJ ia
min has presented more faithful, minute, and anu
sing picture Of the French capital than any yet given
TO the public. The reader is introduced to every
grade of society from the court TO the garrett OF the
artisan. French politics-French customs-French
character in every variety of phase, are exhibited
with astonishing accuracy and spirit. Good-humored
sarcasm occasionally enlivens the description,
which Is, however, never dull OF the engravings,
which are eighteen in number, it is impossible to
speak in terms of exaggeration They were execu-
ted under the superintendance of Heath, from de-
signs by Eugene LAM, one of the most accomplish
ed artists in Paris. Leaving the OPERA" and
Scene In the Green-room,' are the most exqui-
sitely finished steel engravings we have ever seen,
and contain in themselves whole volume of de-
scripon of Partisan fashionable life. The grouping
of the gay and lovely hrong which issues from the
operahouse is admirable and the coquetterie Of the
fair occupants of the greenroor is told with great
spirit Then, the illustrations of the scenery OF that
magnificent capital are each picture OF Partisan
life. Then we have in one plate view of Pere la
Chase, and all the ceremonial of funeral and
with the other views of remarkable buildings,
streets and promenades.
The Deserted Bride" and other poems by &C.
neral Geo. p. Morris, is another elegant volume,
just issued by the respectable publishers. The
typography and entire mechanical execution of this
work, is in the highest degree creditable to New
York. The paper and binding of the first quail
ty. Numerous illustrations, descriptive and anus
ing, are given and are fully equal to any of the
same kind which appear in the London annuals-
The poetry is characterized throughout by refined
and cultivated taste, and not unfrequently by the
genuine spirit of poesy. This is certainly one of the
handsomest volumes of the season, and must become
popular as the poet whose productions it presents
in such attractive form.

Mr. JAMES GORDON BENNETT -
DEAR SIR:
Yesterday was set apart as day Of thanksgiving
by Gov Thomas. The day itself was very pleas
ant one for the season Of the year, and our good
citizens appeared to enjoy it very much. In the
morning all the churches were opened for the wor-
sb,,, of Him who, in his boun.eous goodness, has
heen ~, ore than mindful of during the past year.
II times ,-e dull, and money hard to GET man and
the devil conn lined are the immediate cause mans
nr;de and avaric. if not checked by the holy infu
ence of religion. WI take him to the devil, (and
Satan is always ready IL, meet him half way.) But
to the subject Most of our citizens attended divine
service in the morning. and s>,me of our military
went in uniform. The Independent Grays and the
City Guards attended the Rev. Mr. Mus graves
church, in Eutaw street. After church then came
the eating--turkeys were devoured, mince anu
pumpkin pies di appeared in = manner tnat proven
that every one was determined TO make the .most OF
the day while it lasted This is the flrst ina nKsgv
ing we have ever had in Maryland, conse quently
the the HewYorkers and Yankees, and, the afternoon
and evening appeared more like Sun d;ty tnan any
day have ever seen. In the evening, ule museum
and theatre were open. AT the former III melmaio
is the chief attraction and at the latter o.Iins u

here. He expired this morning about IL O'Clock, Of
aproplexy. Mr.. G. has been in delicate health for
some months, but never that he could not attend
10 his business and up to this morning at o'clock,
he was apparently wel-in nine hours after he was
a corpse.

Haydn's Creation, and Handels Samson.

and select principle Each member is allowed a

the company as select as possible They do not in
tend to advertise it in the newspapers have no
doubt but that the ball will be attended by many Of
our most fashionable and accomplished ladies'; and
if so, the thing open rich, like one OF Florence's
oysters.
There has been an alteration In the mail lately,
by which we do not receive the Herald until three

FINE ARTs.-We know of nothing to which we
can direct the attention of our readers more likely
to afford them pleasure, than visit to the splendid
collection OF paintings now exhibiting at the gallery
OF the National Academy, corner of Broadway and
Leonard street, and to be sold at auction by Rie &
Arcularius this evening. Many of them are truly
beautiful and Of excellent quality. A room without
paintings presents very unfinished and unfashion-
able aspect to the eye of taste. Let every one go
and buy.

TEMPERANCE AND PoKrRY.-A great sensation has
been produced among the temperance people, lately,
by the appearance among them of young Wallace,
the handsome poet OF Kentucky. All who have
heard him, describe his style as bold, brilliant and
eloquent Mr. W. lectures on the Poetry Of Tenn
perance, next Christmas Eve: The discourse is TO
be illustrated by lyrics Of his own composition. Of
course his temperance friends will give him an
overwhelming house. Wallace puts us in mind Of
Moore, the lyric poet Of Ireland. He is small
eloquent-full of fire-replete with genius, and can
sing his own songs.
