DEAR BENEFIT
In my letter Of the 10th | wrote you that the Pres
ident Of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank would
resign his Office during the present month, and thai
Horace Goodwin, second, would succeed him. II
is now said that the latter will not accept the place
and that E. b. Green, Esq. the able and independent
editor of the Review, will be appointed. This gen.
tleman has had great experience in financial mat
tiers, and would make capital President, and be-
sides, it is bringing the gentlemen of the press for
ward, as they should he.
Morris's Clio goes ahead in great style, and takes
wonderfully, and next year we will have well con-
Quoted Theatre in the land of steady habits, where
all the pretty bellies and beaux will congregate.-
Deacon Bumsted threatens hard but he need only
sit still and mend his brecc hes-nobody minds him.
Just as if people might not dance, kiss their chill
dren on Sunday, because the Deacon don't think il
right.
There is no feeling in Connecticut for Henry
Clay-hs name is not mentioned even in single
paper. The wings say they won't be committed for
any body as yet-that year or two ahead is time
enough to start with any body. The flare up OF
wing clubs in your city seems to be understood per-
tecty, and Connecticut can't be caught in that trap.
The loco foco party enjoying their victory in
this State, by acting on the principle recommended
by Governor Marcy-and success attend them.
The fancy ball Of next Friday will surpass any
thing OF the kind ever got up In America.
There exists at this time an opportunity to com
municate from this droll city an occurrence which
many heart will pit-a-pat at, and perhaps some OF
the opposition party may chuckle 1t Is that of the
burning OF the steamer Massachusetts, which by
some means unknown at present, took fire about
II O'Clock last night, and steamboat fashion, it
burnt with the greatest fury, Notwithstanding the
pouring OF torrents OF water by the energetic firemen
OF this pous old city, who were on the spot at
the twinkling of an eye, and displayed such courage,
skill and labor as would do justice to even the fro
men of your city, who have practice almost night
ly of this kind
Business matters we consider here to be on the
look up still there Is no great excitement existing
except that caused by Morris's Concert and Ohio
Company, which are calling together the fashion
that refuses to visit all other entertainments except
church or grave yard Morris has a very peculiar
tact IN managing company, and think equally az
much or more in pleasing an audience. Last night
was set apart by hun for the exclusive admission OF
ladies, and such gentlemen only mig hit accompany
them. The old City Hall was filled at an early
hour with fine an audience as your two peppers
ever beheld; and this am aware was not represent
ed by less than some five hundred ladies' and nearly
as many gentlemen. take pleasure IN seeing this
llberahty displayed towards Morris, because you
during the past fall, by nice strait laced Jews,
who our city is every day purging themselves from;
The concert is given by some dozen persons, and
the only travelling company that we are visited by
of any size and repute.
As to the verdict of the jury Superior Court
which saw published in the g Herald last winter,
that fine was imposed on Morris, on two indict-
ments to wit, for showing Miss Clementine's knee,
and exhibiting little negro from sack-such
was the verdict of the, jury, but our most able
and much esteemed Judge Williams, after keep
ing the case under consideration some five weeks,
dismissed it, and to the JOY of seven-eighhJ Of our
town who are now giving Morris strong token of his
welcome back. l like to have forgotten to mention
that Miss c. is about uniting in nuptias that may
not prove so flaterng hereafter.
A great ball, (fancy,) is to take place tonight at
Mr.. Dunhams Hall; sacred concert by the Union
Music Society, for the benefit of the Washington
Temperance Socety-(good wonder if there could
be any thing betterD and Morris's grand olio-this
is all We expect for rainy night-no Park theatre,
no Chatham with Forrest the great, nor any such
thing have we here, but sure we have as many
churches will make up for all; and when our blue
lights steal from home like Deacon Bumsted, they
can all these capers and their families must not
know oft. More anon. SIN-TY.
