Few of our fashionable readers have not seen the
lovely creature who is thus about entering the lnte-
resting and holy state Of matrimony. Elegant in
figure, expression, complexlon-dark auburn hair,
and blue eyes, the sweetest disposition, and most
refined mind, are the charms which have won the
heart and soul of the manly groom. He, the third
son of the Ex-President, in turn, is possessed of
fine commanding figure, dark hair and whlskers,
erect gait, and accomplished mind The engage
ment is a recent one, and the mother of the fair
bride elect, being now in Europe, has not yet re-
ceived the letters announcing it.
We also learn, that tomorrow evening MAJOR
Jack Downing, well known in our literary circles,
gives grand entertainment, at which the nobility
The occasons said TO be the expected departure of
Mr. J. Horsley Palmer, the great English fnancier,
who will sail for Europe in the course of ten days or
so. Mr.. Palmer has been here for some time, and
has made many friends by his worth and excel
lence.
A most singular and mysterious disclosure has
lately transpired, respecting the intended elcpement
of highly accomplished young heress, the daugh-
ter Of with of
Broadway notorieIy. The parties are both very
young, and great efforts have been made to hush up
the affair. The wedding dress was safely hidden
inside an ordinary calico, and only half hour was
to elapse before the appearance of the carriage at
the corner of Lafayette place and Fourth street,
when the cat was out of,he bag, and the game up
In addition to all this, several grand entertain
ments are speedily to follow the taps, of which
we shall have full and rich details Our arrange
ments for this interesting and highly intellectual and
entertaining species o. intelligence, have never
been equalled, and we give notice to all whom it
doth or may concera, that the Herald during this
winter will be incomparably more instructive and
desirable, than it has ever yet been.
A grand Dguner la towrchette, is talked of in
Philadelphia, of which we shall have ear intelli-
gence, besides host of all descriptions of balls,
routes whist parties and dinners to come off during
the winter.
We learn that all the fashionable milliners and
mathematics are put into requisiton. preparing
for these grand and solemn occasions. A. T. Stew
art has been obliged to employ seven extra hands
In the French department. to wait upon the guests to
the ball. The richest and most costly dresses are
ordered, and we are preparing minute account OF
the various fashions invented by the happy genius
Of Madame LIE Fevre, Franklin street, and Madame

due time. These new fashions surpass in magni6.

yet in this western hemisphere.
The bankrupt act will soon be repealed, and then
the hard times will be over, and nobody in debt;
therefore will all start afresh, and totally eclipse
the gayest days Of old '36, when $500 was the
starvation price for an ordinary supper. So we go.

CHATHAM THEATRE.-Mr. Thorne is coming out
this evening with as great theatrical novelty at his
theatre, Mr.. Simpson recently did at the Park
There's Hill at the one, and Heaven at the other,
and the Millennium at Newark. People must be
hard to please if they can't be suited somewhere.
As our present notice, however, v of the Chatham,
must pass yHeaven and the Millennium, land call
attention to Neurological Drama in three acts,
which will be performed this evening at this theatre
and entitled "Hell on Earth;" or, the "Devirs
Daughters" The reality is nothing new in these
lower regions, but Mr. Thorne is certainly the
first to give theatrical representation of the
great birthstone consumer. Hell has long had a run
on EARTH and in all probability it will still continue
to have great run in this city. We see BY the bill
that Mrs Thor0e, herself. sustains some eight or ten
characters, and Mrs. Hautonvie as many more.
The curiosity of the thing will alone fill the house.
