COLONEL WEBB IN ANOTHER PARoxYsM !-Oolonei
Webb has, we perceive, had another violent parox-
ysm ofpatriotism, morality, and all the other virtues,
| except the cardinal one, of paying old debts.
| Formerly the Colonel had attack of this sort
once in two years. Then, again, the periodical
visitation came everv twelvemonth, and afterwards
| for time once in SIX months. But, unfortunately
now, in consequence of the rapid approach of the
millennium, he has an attack at every change of the
moon His disorder seems to be sort of ntellec-
tual cholera, and the way that the darrha of words
flows from him, with hardly a single solid bit of
idea, is perfectly alarming. "Alien"-" foreign
err" rascal" scapegrace"--"r obber"--" un.

the Herald"-all sorts of things, run through his
convulsed paragraphs.
We hardly know what to do with the Colonel
He has some good traits which, we have charitably
endeavored O cultivate. He is occasionally gen.
tleman, and we have labored with great fidelity to
| make the assumption of that character permanent.
But on account of the greatly increased frequency
seriously alarmed for this afflicted subject and think
high time to procure consultation of the faculty,
in order to what can be done for the sufferer.
According to the Colonel, the NeD York Herald

when that distinguished lady had the kindness to

~ ungallant in the Colone-a man of such just pre-
tensions to chivalry and un-
gallant! Her Majesty must feel much hurt when
she hears of all this in Buckingham Palace
Seriously, However; notwithstanding all that the
Colonel says we shall continue to treat him, a. we
will all others, with justice and forbearance The
cause of these occasional outbreaks is evident. If
we did not publish paper that is carefully written
and conducted with judgment and skill, and which
did not enjoy very wide circulation we should be
spared the abjurgations of Colonel Webb. The
whole thing arises from competition in business
The Colonel and the whole fraternity of the Wall
street PRESS are every day descending rapidly to the
fatal bourne, whilst the smaller papers increasing
their influence, and extending their circulation in
an equal ratio. Here is the secret sore which ac-
counts for Colonel Webb's periodical assaults, and
THE ARTIsr-A MONTHLY LApY's BooK.-This
perfectly unique and eminently beautiful periodical,
has received an accession of patronage which has
induced the original proprietor to make more ex-
tensive arrangements for its improvement. The
publishing, literary, and arstical departments will
now be placed under the charge of seperate conduc-
tors. Mr.. Quarre, who has hitherto sustained the
labor and responsibility OF the WHOLE having dispo
sed of two thirds of the propretorship for this pur
pose. He will now devote his undivided energies
to the establishment department, in which he is SO
superlativey skillful, and which has already disn-
guished this periodical above all its competitors In
this respect also, will maintain its enviabe supe.

after their arrval-a consideration, we presume, of
no small importance to the fair sex in general.
| The literary department will be in the hands of
an accomplished scholar, who is familiar with the
best productions in all the languages of Europe and
who intends TO present in every number choice
gems of French and Itaan-a novelty which our
refined and educated families will readily appreci-
ate. Indeed the enterprise high taste, and varied
talent, which will now steadily be devoted to this
work, cannet fail to procure for an amount of pa
tronage which will speedily render it superior to
every other Of its class. whether in Europe or on
this continent. This is the object of its propretors
under the new arrangement, and they are determn-

The ARTIST, printed and published at the Office
of the New York Herald, will be issued with rigid

delivered at the residences of the subscribers The
first number of the improved series will be published

Gently arrived in our city from Greenock, and were
brought out by their brother, DR.. Cumming, for

successful engagements in the West of Scotland,
and sung concerts with Templeton, at Edinburgh,
with muck ecLat Their great merit consists in the
nfcets and sweetness with which they sing Duets,
their voices mngling in unison with most agreeable
harmony. They evidently, however, possess no
great pretensons to arstical skill, and have never,
| 1t appears, sung on the stage. But in a concert
room or drawing room they are very pleasant and
attractive singers. MIR. Clirehugh sings the Scot
fish songs with great feeling, and is indeed, one of
the very best amateur vocalists in this city. But he
has not had the musical education, nor experience
necessary to constitute public singer of the higher
class. The novelty and beauty of the songs and
ballads selected for this Concert contributed greatly
to fill the room. Scottish music is very highly and
deservedly appreciated here, and from the fror of
the excitement which has been got up, we have no
doubt that the Misses Cumming will be able to give
| several concerts with success. We believe that
the second will be given next week at the Apollo.
