The state OF Feeling In relation to the Late
Confess.

All sorts of angry, humorous, malignant, laughable
and funny feelings have existed in relation 10 the
late contest. Among others the following is too
good to be lost: 1t seems that a day or two before
the election, Richard Carman, Esq the whig can
dldate for Alderman in the 18th Ward, was taken
SICK with a swelling in the neck. His relatives
sent for a doctor, and as chance would have 1t, Dr.
Williams, the %locofoco candidate for Alderman in
the same ward was called in. Carman complained
sadly. BE quiet" said his mother, "the doctor
is fixing something to make you feel easy" Doc
tor, said Dick, what doctor!' doctor Will
liams," said she. doctor Williams be -"
replied Dick, jumping up nearly we'll with excite
ment, turn him out of the house directly, or else
l shan't be able to stir from it for a month" And
accordingly DR.. Williams was dismissed The day
after the election the Doctor met Dick, and laugh
Jag outright said, "Ah, my dear fellow, it's well
you did as you did the other day, for if you had let
me stay five minutes longer, Id have had a blister
on your neck that wouldn't have let you got up for
a week." I his is the humorous state of feeling
but no malice.
Ia the meantime, some few of the Unionists and
Spartans s,ili look pretty black at the Irish when
they meet them. and vice versa the Irish still look
black at them. And there are not a lew black eyes
to look out of among the whole Of them. Wander
zee has returned from Albany, but the story about
his being badly hurt must be a mistake, for he
hasn't a scratch upon him. 1t seems that the
Irish there acted pretty much the same as they
did here in Centre street. After the close of
the polls on some very slight provocation they
armed themselves with bludgeons and surrounded
the City Hotel. Here they fell upon an Englishman
named Webb, a boss butcher in Albany, whom they
declared was a New York wing, and beat him al
most to death, and stamped upon him in the most
brutal manner. Van1erzee was there, and stood his
ground and a party otAmericans, ~locofocos and wings
rallied round him as a native American party, and
at last drove off the Irish, after a severe fight all
about Popery and Anti Popery, which question and
excitement has been wickedly raised by Thurlow
Weed and Gov. Seward. The Irish threatened to
kill VandeIzee for a New York wing; but they only
managed to seize hishat without his head in it. This
they carried on a twenty foot pole ia triumph dow
the street, as Indians do a scalp, shouting Here's
the Yankee wings head!" Vanderzse rushed into
the crowd, knocked down the man that carried the
pole and carried off his hat en- his own head as a
more fitting place for it. He only got two gentle
taps from a shillelah, out of friendship, but they
didn't hurt him. There were none of our Custom
House officers at the election as reported the only
man connected with the Custom House that was in
Albany, was a Mr.. Strong, from the barge office;
and he was s~ubpGned to attend court there, and ne
yer went near the polls at all.

who recently murdered her husband, or sser ami,
between the acts, of a tragedy, in the green room

If so, she must have travelled in the disguise of a
man from the South. She is said to be a fine. leok.

great success. What feelings this poor, degraded,

DEAN SIR
1have already informed you of the failure of An
tognini and his being turned out of the company
Since then the company have been playing at the
French Theatre, and to very Indifferent houses so
much 30, that Marty, the Italian Director, has been
out of pocket every night except. l should have
said, when the "Somnambula" was played by Mrs.
Sutton. This beautiful opera drew great houses and
immense applause, for every artist who was en-.
gagged in it, but more especially for Mrs. Sutton
All the papers that have a French column seem TO
have taken a most extraordinary dislike to this ladv
from the idea that she opposed and prevented the
re. engagement OF Borghese in Havana. This is er-
roneous as understand that it was Madame Ober,
Salvatore, and To ri that were hostile to Berghese's
being in the company, threatening te leave the com.
panyhf she enc ed it. Had it NOT have been for this
the strength Of the company for though not possess
ing great voice, or a good school, she has more than
Ober. We are in the expectation Of hearing Mrs.
Sutton in Norma, which. from accounts Yeceivd
ma gentlemen lately arrived, say she sang the Gas
IA Diva" there %divlnely.
After Normo, Ober will play one or two Of her
operas, alreadygiven; then Marty returns 10 Havana

turning to Havana with the company at this season
so that we shall keep the best with US. There is
some report of her being engaged at the French the
st-e, but whether true or not, ! cannot at present
say. Salvatore has much fallen of in voice, being
sometimes so hoarse as TO be scarcely siderable
This is particularly striking in the F~urioso, a very
strong opera for the bass, and his present age makes
this character too great an effort. e.oni has much
improved in voice-raiher singular, as this clima.e
is decidedly hostile to all vocal performers. Perez

FANNY E~LssLER-There is some potent mystery
about the Whereabouts Of Fanny Elssler. The
story Of her having arrived in " male attire at New
Orleans from Havana, is mot conirmed-and rs pro-
baby a pure invention. Our letters mention no such
circumstance. AT the last accounts she had been
arrested or detained by the Governor of Havana on
a'count of some promise to a charity not fulfilled.
Something has taken place before this time, but
what we cannot tell. She may have either gone to
Mexico, to Marseiles, to London, to H,vre, or to
Heaven.
