They will know less next spring, when the Cunard
line runs TO New York, you will say but in that the
Yankees vii not agree win you, for they say that
such story i. all fog, and that the fact that the
Havre line OF French steamers is TO make their de-
pot at Boston, is good proof OF II.
The great Daniel left yesterday afternoon by the
Stonnston line of steamers for your city an Wash
ington. understand he intends TO define his posi-
tlon at full length OF your people will GIT
another speech out OF him. He looks remark ably
well and much less worn than when he was
here last His late sporting expedition TO Marsh
held has done HIM good.
Amusemsnts with us seem To be doing much bet
ter than anywhere else. The fremont ever since
II opened, has been doing a cracking business -
Jones must certainly have put down a toerabIe good
bag OF money TO meet rainy days If he continues
as he has begun he will make a great season of it,
and IRON present appearances he certainly will for
the people seem determined 10 patroniZe and swal-
low anything that comes out there. To give you
an instance-he produced on Monday night most
1iaool,cal nautical piece, entitled " Battle OF Lake
Ene, with Yankee Hill "a the feature and the
people crowded the house both then and on last eve
mag. Peby, at the National has brought out Nor
man Leslie, dramatsed by Rufus Blake in grand
style. and is doing fair business with H. The Ea.
gle is closed at present 10 enable the mechanics 10
enlarge and otherwise improve the house. Ia the
meanwhile, the company are al Providence, and as
l learn, dor good business: Lewelen opened
small theatre, called the Apollo Saloon, about a
fortnight since. He played one week 10 little or no.
thing, and on Monday last closed with the bills out
announcing Abbott TO play Claude Melnotte. Ru-
tIOf says tnat tne city wanted dollars 10
license, but Lewellen thinking il would not pay TO
give 1t, declined and shut up shop. The most quiet
money maker of them all, is Kimball, with his
beautiful museum. Daring the summer, h- has had
a small host of artists and mechanics AT work upon
a grand dorami of the Battle of Bunker Hill,
which about four weeks since he produced in a
most perfect and splendid manner 1t is probably,
the most finished mechanical exhibition ever
brought out in this country, and will have an i'm
mense run here, and every where else where there
Is American blood. AT any rate, the museum is
making a mint OF money out of il.
The Mermaid that wonder of all wonders has
just left here for your city During lis engageme mt,
thousands thousands witnessed its exhibition
we have had nothing here since Essler, that has
created so much talk and excitement. That il was
actually taken at the Fejee Islands, suppose thers
cam II be doubt, as learn that of the men,
bers of the Exploring Exhibition while the fleet was
there, saw and spoke to it, before il died. IL
spoke Feee, mixed with some English words, and
il was called Peperonleplapanhe yister So much
was said about the possibility of its being decep-
ton, that procured of best surgeons to ex-
amlne IT, who gave 1t his deliberate opinion, not
withsanding his preconceived notions gains, the
existence of Mermaids that the animal must have
lived as it is that it was female, and has had hree
young ones. This surgeon has engaged passage to
the Fejees TO get family alive. He thinks they
would make good Mormons. But you have pro-
badly seen it, there is need OF my boring you or
your readers with my nonsense any longer
