Poindcxter's Report on the New YORK S"S
tom House.

We give our readers to-day some OF the elegant
extracts" from the famous Report OF - Old Pons, y
on the New York Custom House. They are labeled
in the way that druggists label posons and prussic
acids So that no honest person need to be afraid of
Swallowing corrosive subilmate instead Of hard CT
der.
We conceive this brochure on the n. Y Custom
House, TO be of the most remarkable literary,
philosophical medical, and pathological works OF
the day. Bulwer is a blockhead TO Sc Old Poins y
and Zanoni, or the book on +" Animal Magnetism, y
entirely eclipsed Swartwout, Hoyt, Curtis, and a
dozen others, the principal characters of this
valuable work. and they shown up in the mos
brilliant colors, and without any regard to nature oil
fact. Virtue and piety form the pedestals OF the
work--mixed with little hard swearing-bad gram
mar--bold assertion-s,ngular fact--and powerful
fancy. None but I" Old Poins," from Mississippi
could have produced such work. We will tell
why.
Some few years ago, Alderman Peters of this city
one of the greatest humorsts OF any age, was ira
yelling in Mississippi, collecting accounts. After
transacting some business with one of his customers
he proceeded to have talk on the news of the
day
What's doing in them times, Mr.. Smith, or Mr..
Anybody :" asked the Alderman, in his bland style.
:" Not much--we are electng Congressman"
"Oh who have you up?
"Oh we have Mr. Such-a-one up, and Old Poin-
dexter"
"What sort of men are they -
"Why, Mr.. Such-a-one is one of the most homo
rable, talented and best men in the deestrict.'
- All. what sort of man is Pons I"
He with laugh)-IIe-Old Poins is one OF
the d-d-st rascas in the decstrot, in the State
"Well, suppose you vote for the other!"
''Not by jugfull I'll vote for Old Pons."
"Why! how -
"Why, Old Poins i, certainly one Of the greatest
scoundrels in the Western Country-but in Wash
ngton they are as great of rascas as he is-and
| shall vote for Pons, to send him there to match
hem--and TO get rid Of the id rascal for the next
two years in this decsrid."
ella ha ha tho no no !" roared Alderman
Peters.
"What the h--ll do you laugh at! Do you mean
to insult me p
'Oh no, beg your pardon-no such thing"
Then either drink with me- fight; one or
tother, by the 'Tarnal.''
This is essentially true story. And possibly il
was on the same principle that Captain Tyler Sc
lected old Poins' TO investigate the New York
Custom House. lie sent rogue to catch rogue
they all rogues round-and the whole investiga-
non, report, and ALL roguish piece of business

month

George W. Kendall and seven other of the Santa Fe
prisoners, who were asccrtaned to be resident
Americans. The prisoners released were expected
to reach Vera Cruz in two or three days after the
Teviot left. The U. S. cutter Woodbury. was in
port, and would wait to give them passage home,
so that they may soon be expected to arrive in New

sands OF dollars will change hands on Tuesday, and
il Fashion should win, the way the odds will be

The difference in weigh, 10 be carried by the two
horses tomorrow, should guide sporsmen in max
ing their stakes, TO certain extent. According TO
the rules, Boston being nine years of age. he will
have TO carry l26 pounds. while Fashion, being only

extra weight is equal TO distance Of 10 rods on the
four miles, which is the calculation Of English sports
