TmE WHITE House. IN l7S4.-A Mr..
w ansy, whose published notes OF a tour
in this country in 1854 have recently
been the subject of notice in the Amer-
can papers, gives the following d. scrip
ton of breakfast al the White House.
Wlll the breakfasts there in these days
bear comparison with this!
Mrs Washington herself made tea
and coffee for us. On the table were
TWO small plates Of sliced tongue, dry
toast, bread and butter, but 20 boil, fish
as IS the O. neral custom. Miss Gusts,
her granddaughter, very pleasing
Young lady of about sixteen. sat next 10
her bro,her George Washington Gusts,
about two years older than herself
There was bui little appearance of form A.;
no livery. A silver urn for hot water
was the only expensive thing on the table.
Mrs. w. appears to be something Older
than the President, although born IN the
same wear, short in statue, rather robust,
very plain in her dress"

K NOR the liberal patronage bestowed
a. on my establishment since its com
mencement, by my friends and the public,
[ would return my sincere thanks. The
constant increase of sales, and the gratii-
cation daily expressed by my customers,
has fully convinced me that the principle
upon which my business is conducted,
gives full and entire satisfaction, and has
induced me TO make greater preparations
for my fall trade. My late purchases in
New York have been more extensive than
usual, and can now offer larger and
better assortmen, of goods than have
ever before had the pleasure Of presenting
to my customers.
would, therefore, invite the attention
of those who have so literally patronized
me the past year to my stock now open,

Navigation has closed, and the wheat market
at present is rather dull, except what is bough, by
the city mills for Touring but 1t is probable that
our merchants will soon make, if they have not
already, some arrangement for storing wheat
when the prices will be good and the market
brisk. Good supplies bring 66 cents.
/ We believe the Beef and pork markets are GO
ing to be good from present appearances. There
is number of packing establishments in the city
on a large scale.
Beef brings from 50 to S2.25.
Pork from 90 to So, according to weight.
