JANIS GoRpoN BENNETT, ESQ
MY DEAR SIR:-
It is but seldom that anything happens in this
quiet tewn on the seacoast worthl writing about;
but when anything does turn up, it is bat proper
TO write and talk about it as much a. we can.
Such an event, is the appearance, in this corner
OF the world, Of Charles Dickens, Esq; and since
the arrival in cur city Of this amiabIe and truly
accomplished gentleman, he has been welcomed
and bored by numberless attentions, from two elias,
ses Of persons welcomed by one, who honor him
in responding Gin the elegant manner for which the
elite of our metropolis are celebrated) to the nu-
merous letters which he brought from England
and bored by the ethers, mixture of toadyism and
vulgarity, whom he patronisss by permitting their
/ advances. This latter class are by far the most
numerous; and they 60 it with "perfect loose.
ness" intruding themselves at seasonable and un-
| ssasonable hours, in their endeavors 10 catch a
glimpse of the most fashionable and popular author
Of the day. But the most importunate persons are
the elderly young matrons in an interesting sti-
vaton," and romantic young ladies who want to be,
who are dying to scrutinixs'' the elegant nasal
| protuberance, which ornaments the face of the
8" handsonest man in England"
Dinners, balls, parties, soirees, dejeunee's,
drives, and all that, has been proRsred in profu-
sion, and the managers Of the theatres find 10 their
Infinite satisfaction that the London Lion" draws
better than Elssler Lardner, tragedy or farce
and poor Dickens finds to his cost that " temper
a. mild ~ lamb, and the haction Of steam hin.
gne," an ipportont requisite in "Lion," A. well
a. cab horse.
The dinner to come off at Papants Saloon is over
and it ended a. all such dinners usually do, in
speeches, songs, sentiments, headaches, and soda
water, and " the nice young men," the Horatio
| sparksnses," and the Percy Noakeses." through
whose exertions this compliment was rendered,
have slept off the fumes Of the champaign, and
have returned with red eyes and throbbng heads to
their daily avocations, writing balderdash for the
sxpenny almanacks, reporting the crudities Of the
member from Squashborough, and defending in the
| police court the unlawful purrinss Of some worn
out "naitresse de plaiser."
If you have any desire to sec how the prosy old
men, in their galvanie attempts at w.t. made fools
| Of themselves, ysu will fad them reported in the
Morning Post, and the Daily Newspaper Press,
| from which fertile school his genius may be said
be an enanaton, was not nsticed upon this occa-
sion. Complimentary very.
| Tell your readers that Boz town is where II was
. week ago that the universal Yankee Nation is
turned into q great " Curiosity Shop" and the
| Herald 10 read more than ever. This day Mr..
Dickens and lady visit LEVEL to see the spinning
| jcnnies and the factory girls. learn that they
| leave town on Saturday ON Sunday and Monday
they are the guests Of his Exesllency, John Davis
resident at Worcester whs has killed fatted cali
| for the occasion. On Wednesday he dimes with
the citizens Of Hartford, where they roast ducks
in soap-suds and there leave him in the hands oil
