DEAR BENNETT =
Some time having elapsed since last wrote you,
| am induced TO give you some information of mat
tiers and things in this city and hereabouts. This
may be considered about the dullest part of the
mer; therefore cannot have the pleasure of telling
you of the great prosperity increasing business of
our city. The harvests, both here and at the west
prove to be the best before known, the grain is
of superior quality, and yields well A small lot
OF flour from new wheat has reached us from Cleve-
land. did not learn what it brought. Flour still
remains at 525, but it is the opinion of persons ex-
perienced in the business that fall 4 and
very likely to $3.50. cannot learn that any con-
tracts yet made by purchasers for the crop;
they to be shy and watch the operations of each
other.
Money matters appear to be easy, there being no
great call tor money except to pay anotherlndebted-
ness. Canada and Ohio funds as usual, form the
principal circulation l understand new bank is
to go into operation under the general banking
laws the requisite securities having been filed and
the bills ordered. do not know who got 1t up.
There has been some stir here, occasioned by the
report of Chandler STAR Esq, Bank Commissioner,
setting forth unlawful issue of about $4,000 by
the Bank Of Buffalo; the former Cashier has come
out with lame defence, which Is any thing but
satisfactory; the community are doubly convinced
of the frauds practiced by the banks here,
and Of the loose manner in which they have been
conducted
Business is very dull upon the lake; many of the
steam boats and vessels are laid up tor want OF
freights. The Chicago boats bring large numbers
of passengers mostly from the south, principally in
search Of pleasure, and bound to the fashionable
resorts generally.
Nothing new in the gay ine-I hope, however,
ere long to give YOU an account of wedding or
two in high life
Van Buren, was received here in good style great
numbers called on him he seemed in fine spirits
and enjoyed himself well.
Edwin Forest and Miss ]. Clifton have been play
ing an engagement to excellent houses. We have
not had an opportunity to Judge of Miss Clifton, as
she has appeared in favorite character, besides
she has much of the time been unwell. They closed
last evening, and considering that the prices have
been raised to ST, they must have been gratified
that so many attended.
Three hundred Naval Apprentices, enlisted here,
started last evening for Boston. This has proved
of the best points in the Union for the enlistment
of sailors and boys for the Navy
There is be grand Military Encampment at
Rochester this week; many companies from other
places are to be in attendance. A fine company,
the City Guards left here last evening join their
Rochester brethren in the encampment The
weather and every thing promises Of the finest
affairs ever witnessed in this part of the State.
The Herald continues to thrive and prosper here,
indeed your agent Mr.. Hawks is doing all he can
he sells more numbers of the Herald Than all the
other papers together Farewell-regards to kjcunc
