| The best farce Of the season came off yesterday,
very much according to our Programme, though
we were mortified TO find that our voluntary and
gratuitous advertisement Of the comedy then TO be
played did not succeed in bringing greater num-
Der together. Never did such huge mountain
bring forth such tiny mouse The Wanted car
riages, each with four beautiful young ladies
dressed in white, dwindled down to some old ba-
rouches and wagons, containing number of fe-
males, whose ages varied from FIVE to fifty years.
An omnibus followed drawn by ten horses, nine
Of them apparently Loco-Focos, and one of them
more sensible, for he kicked violently to get out
OF harness. The omnibus itself was the same one
which was used at the last Spring Election 10 con-
vey the convict pipe-layers from the Peaitentiafy
or Blackwels Island to. the Eighth Ward, to vote
|srhe Loco Foco ticket. It is no wonder that it was
selected for this occasion. The Tyler Cab came
next, The Spartan Band. followed with flag
inscribed Free Suferage,' style of spelling not
generally used, but apparently preferred by these
modern heroe, of Thermopyla. Around and
among these rode the Marshals, with white scarfs,
and such display Of horsemanship was never
seen since the days Of John Gilpin. The High
Priest of Grand Tslaad wa. there, wiping from his
face the drops of modification that kept oozing
out as he looked at his Falstaff regiment. Locke
rode up and down, and seemed to think that his
Moon Hoax was not half as great humbug as
the new creation Of his active fancy. He had ar
ranged them nicely on paper, but when he called
his spirits from the Vastly deep, they would not
come, and he found himself and his brother Mar
shals almost alone in their glory. Their scanty
array marched out with downcast looks. Not a
single cheer was heard-all was silence, broken
only by roars Of laughter as some character more
udicrous than the rest showed himself The
scattered spectators, less than ordinary parade
calls out, kept on a broad grim The few respecs
able persons, VINO had been entrapped into the
barouches, seemed heartily ashamed of their situ-
alton. The chief sufferers, however, were the gin
gerbread and root-bcer men, who came prepared
for great run Of business, but found SO small an
assembage that they had scarcely a customer to
each and they left the Park, grumbing bitterly at
Major Dalgetty for deluding them by his aRticpa-
tory pufs into such an Improbable investment Of
capital.
This procession, if it merit the name, really,
by its scantiness and BY the character Of its get
ers up, the greatest insult that the President has
yet received. Its leaders were all men who wish
to keep or get Custom House Offices. They had
seven good reasons for their doings, to wit: the
FIVE loaves and two fishes. They have vainly
tried to make a little party capital out of mat
ter in which Loco-Focos and Wings were equally
involved, but the reception of the last comedy
must have convinced them that the People have
too much good sense and discernment to be de-
ceived by their harlequin butlooncry.
SUDDEN DEA1H.-Yesterday afternoon, as Mr..
