The distinction among the visiants, at the differ
ent hotels here is more marked this season than
ever. Congress Hall has given up its rivalry with
the United States, and has gone into competition
with the smaller and more common houses. The
result is, that it has company than any house
here, except the United States and of the same class
that you formerly saw ounging upon the piaZzas of
the Montgomery, American, and Adelphi hotels

chusetts and New Hampshire and are to all appear

put more pork and beans and Congress water inside
their Jackets, I'll warrant you, than they will either
