DEAR SIR -
! II would delight your soul to witness the enthu-
sii-tc rush and constant demand at Bravo 81 Nor
gln's for the Herald (the Weekly, the Daily, and
tie Extra Hsrald) since our city has resumed its
woned crowded and busy aspect. Your paper
containing the foreign news sold like hot cakes
/ Bravo told me that the parcel you sent him was
not, by 1.-THE adequate TO the demand The mail
arrived at nine, and before twelve a Herald was
not to be got for love money. The Herald is
Just the thing for mixed population The
concentration in the most compendous and agree
able form, of every variety of news--of valuable
information from every quarter of our country and
! of Europe, afiordlng BIRDS eye view of the DO
htca, social, financial condition of the world can
not but make II the most popular journal with the
| Orleanois.
| Our city is crowded 10 suffocation At no pre-
vlous season has there been such an influx of emf
grants and new corners. They fill up the hotels
boarding houses, streets theatres &c. You may
recognise and distinguish the new rom the old
population by the bright looks, happy, cheerful
counienances, neat and new clothes of the former,
strongly contrastcd with the care worn aspect and
rusty apparel Of the latter. The first are full of
youth and hope-they imagine themselves at last ar
rived at an III Dorado where all their aspirations
will br satisfied. Alas! how many Of them are
doomed to sad disappointment!
Our theatres opened TO very handsome houses,
and are now doing good business, driving brisk
competitions The American, under the manage
ment of Mrs Seton, got the start of Ludlow &
| Smith, and has kept it. This is a magnificent esa-
blishment inside, and has been arranged and deco
rated with great taste and splendor-outside it is
huge, unshapen, "a dromedary- looking concern Mrs
| s. is a woman Of great energy, and deserves much
| credit for the enterprise and bodness with which
| she has launched out In competition with such
veteran and experienced managers as Lud low &c
Smith. She has better orchestra than the ST.
Charles, but her stock company is inferior to old
Soils. Wallack does not take with us-he il
too tame. and artificial. Poor fellow, he fell
rather suddenly on his knees, in the kneeling
knee pan, which Has confined him to his room
ever since. AT the St, Charles we have had some
good acting. Mrs Field has appeared once, and
she is beautiful woman, chaste and graceful
actress, and great tavorite in New Orleans. We
| have also had Brougham and his lady. The latter
is too large and bulky for this market, though ma
ny think her an excellent actress and splendid wo
man. The latter, with all the disadvantage OF
| contrast with the immortal Power, who is held
here in most devout remembrance, is much admir-
| ed, and Will soon grow popular. The Orleans
| Theatre French1 opened with a splendid Opera TO
a fine house. The company Of this establishment
| ia very large and complete, and the properties,
scenery, &c, most magnificent. It is the favorte
almos! the only public resort OF our Creole beau
| ties and is always thronged with crowd OF splen-
dIdly dressed gentlemen and ladies'. So much Tor
| amusements
Business is dull for the season. Cotton keeps u
pretty steady price, and sales are improved since
| the receipt OF the news by the Britannia. Sugar ls
dull. The reports of the quantity and quality
dolerous. The yield Is even worse than was ex-
pected, early in the season.
| In politics, but little is doing--what is going on,
is in a very quiet way The democrats have been
making great eXtrlons TO secure their predomi-
nance in the city and State. They have, | hear,
| added three or four thousand voter to th, old
stock, and expect to carry the city at the Charter
election, by a thousand majority. This great in
crease Is attributable to the activity and zeal Of the
| young men OF the party, who, here. as else
where, seem disposed to get rid of the old
! hunkers, and take the reins in their own
| hands. People here are so much immersed
iuth r business and private affairs, that the drec-
| ton anu management OF parties are usually com
mited TO few leaders and office holders. There
! IS great dearth Of prominent politicians in New
Orleans; Living Is too high here TO admit OF much
| Political loaterlsm. Few men will enter into party
coae, o., re, and political honors go begging,
less thy are backed by good salaries Among the
/ Wing, the most prominent man is Mr. Randall
Hunt, gentleman from Charleston, S. c., a scho-
lar, ..wyer and orator Mr.. II is the most promi-
neat member Of our Legs ature, and by far the
most superior Wing orator in Louisiana. A MIR.
! l'rtluse, Frenchman, has been pulled up by a
| few admirers into the idea that he is statesman
! and orator but ii is, think, great mistake The
lawyers here seem to keep out of politics more than
in any place in the United States; the Doctors have
! supplanted them Some Of the most violent parti-
Fans are sons OF Esculapus. There is Doctor Dul-
| ton, OF the Clay men, most uproarlous parizan:
DR.. Luxembourg, great mriguant, SAID to be too
SIN ,r for MIR. Tyler, under whom he has very fat
Office, whilst, in IA quiet way, he damns Captain
| Tyler all IN d heap; then comes DIR. NcFdrin,
smart, bold and vigorous radical Of the most ultra
locofoco school, and who constitutes the standing
minority OF one in the Second Municipal Coun-
| Gil and DIR. Canver, the candidate OF the Young
American and Irish democracy, for the Mayor
The democrats seem to possess a majority of the
conspicuous in the city. Among them
the great lawyers John K. Grymes, Col. Preston
brother of VIM. C, Soule, the splendid French ora
tor, Judge Eustis, formerly of boston. But | must
bring my letter TO a close, promising in my next
| to give you some interesting, financial, political,
and social details in regard to New Orleans,
