Nsw OaLnANs BuLLErfN,-fhis paper has
long becn as remarkable for the character OF
lis editorials as for the very extensive patron

days, and we learn from private sources that
Mr.. A. &. AinSworih, late editor of the Cres-
cent City, now occupies the editorial chair Of
the Bulletin. We congratulate the proprietors
on this acquisition; they will soon know, by
their increased receipts, that the public are
quick TO discern and ready 10 pay for all eff
forts made to serve them. We have taken
snuch pleasure in the perusal Of the leading
articles of the Crescent CITY during the past
year; they have been widely copied, and the
vein Of sound morality, with the chastity Of
taste that pervaded them, was emineutiy cal
eulatcd 10 produce a happy effect on the minds
OF readers. The acts OF the State Legislature,
Of the municipal councils, together with all
passing events and numerous subjects of To-
cal importance, have been discussed In that
paper with marked ability and sound iudc-
ment. and in a style Of Independence which
showed the editor TO he above fear or favor.
Ainsworth will impart new life to The Bullc-
