The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1842-10-21


LrrERARY-we hear that the New York Mir
ror," now published by ID. Fanshaw, very worthy
plous printer, and saint in the fifth heaven here
after, will cease with the present year. George p.
Norris the popular ballad maker, who is the editor,
will probably start some other literary enterprise.
The " Mirror" has been in existence some twenty
years, and at one time was profitable concern.
A. new fashionable magazine, to be published
weekly, to be called the "Bon Ton" or "Beau
Monde, Is on the carpet-and may be issued soon.

exquisite taste in ladies' dresses than any of her
temporaries There is classic elegance and

The "New Wing Magazine" conducted by John
Sergeant, it is said, is walking into the Knicker-
booker" very quietly, but very effectually. The
spirit of the new magazine is transcendental and
vlgorous-somctimes verging TO the visionary. The
Knckerbocker is Of the old fashioned school, quiet,
precise, and silly. The new periodical scars to
heaven and rakes the stars with its right hand-the
old one sticks the EARTH and when not asleep, is
principally engaged in digging small potatoes, six in
hill.
The literary world and literary circles in New
York are in curious state of effervescence. Can
any dry correspondent give us list of the hterati
now in the fed-a catalogue Of their qualities-and
arogramme of their several traits OF genius with the
chemical analysis and values affixed to each vege
table?
News FROM BnAzu.-Advices from Pernambuco
are to the I'd ult and from Rio de Janero to the I'd.
The rebels in the former province in battle were
completely defeated, with loss of many killed,
and 200 prisoners. In Rio Gran6e the insurgents
had also met with defeat.
The Journal de Corneiro of September I'd, announ-
the speedy departure Of Caxas for that province,
with large force, which, 1T was confidently believed,

STREET PAvxMENrs. don't the Corporation
pave the principal streets with regular blocks OF
granite, twelve inches sixteen inches, or therea-
bouts, and give us even carriage ways The gra-
mite quarrles Of Staten Island could supply at
cheap rate, materials for paving the whole OF Man
haitian Island, from the Battery to Kings Bridge.
The round irregular stones, or the miserable wood
en- blocks now used, are disgrace to the age. We
have full supply OF pure ana wholesome water,
with magnificent fountains to embellish the city
why should we not have decently paved clean
streets!
The OCTOBER SUN AND MooN.-For nearly four
weeks we have had the most delicious, clear, sun
ny, bracng fall weather that ever blessed sinful
generation. The evenings have been equally beau
tiful-and for the last week, the moonlight around
the Park Fountain has been rich and thick that
many ladies have cut it into slices and eat it as
cream cakes
MUsIcAL.-Music is moving merrily. We under
stand that an association is getting up to give Sc
ries of concerts at the Apollo Rooms to comprise
Mrs. Sutton, De Begins, Rapetti, Antognlni, and
several other artists. Such combination of talent
would create great deal Of atention-and if they
select novel pieces, and scenas from fine operas,
doubt can be entertained of their success
The new opera Of " Israetes in Egypt" will be
produced at the Park next week. Great prepara-
tons making to get it up in the best style. We

academic Royah, Paris, brought out the same
subject in five acts, under the title of Noise. The
first act of the Italian opera is the second OF the
French, with additional choruses and finale. The
director of the Italian opera house, London, at

for representation under the title of Nose in Ejfto,
but the icenser of plays. troubled by qualms OF
