believe, after all, we shall have winter enough
snow enough, in all iencc to satisfy the most
devoted lovers of sIeishing- enough to CRAFTY
an Esquiniaar Indian. 1t commenced showing yes
terday morning, kept up the frolic Of the winter
KING I'LL late this morning, and, by the way of des-
sert we are now having an episode Of rain and
haii. Just at this moment, there appears TO be a
Kind OF an apotheoss of the angry elements.
The smugglers, at whom l limited few days ago
have been detected and the packet ship Oxford
from on board Of which vessel the Custom House
reformers in imitation of the mail reformcrs, landed
their goods and merchandise, has been seized and
libeed by Mr.. Collector Curtis AS however. III.
smuggling was perpetrated by the mate of The
ship and passenger, is not at all probable, think
that the Oxford will be confscated. The seizure /
presume, has been but precautionary act, and will
ultimately he abandoned.
| The Montezuma, another packet ship, from Liver
pool, arrived yesterday She had large quantity II
goods on board, which were intended TO be Struggled

ment is made in affairs, which the Collector has
MOI CO 1troi, and. which may be very Vastly manag-
ed by the action Of Congress by someenergetic ac
lion on The part OF the Secretary of the Treasury,
the nature Of which and the necessity o which is
not anticipated by that able, and vgilan, and dis
tnguished officer.
Pamo's Opera House opened last evening, FOR
the second time, with the opera of IL Psuita,. and
] am sorry to say that the audience was by no rean,
numerous. The weather was bad, to be sure and
there were several fashionable gaIas and soiees
among the aristocracy Of wealth, we'll as amug
the arisocracy of catgut and rosin, at the W.T.
End, and among the elite Of University and Waye,v
Places. But fear the a,istoeraey" will not marc
up manfully to the support of the Italian Opera and
Sgnor Palmo.
