CHEAP LITERATURE.-We unde rsfand tnat ths
sale of "cheap literature" has fall en- of very con-
siderably during the last few MONTHS and that the
| publishers of il have nearly ruined themselves
No doub, the chief cause OF this rs to be fonnd In
The political excitement Of the day. The reading
masses of the community are SO much engaged IN
potics-in determining VIII ether Mr.. Clay or Mr.
Polk is the greatest vagabord, and best entitled TO
60 to the State Prson-for that is the character OF
the discussion going on that they have no time TO
peruse the blue and yellow literature of the broihes
which has been inundating The country Tor the las,
few years.
Still the tastes of such readers perfectly graft
fled. II We look over the columns Of the party
press OF both Sides find that in their yalsariiy,
violence, folly hcentlousnsss. and utter Semorali
zation, they lar surpass the Freach no,sls or any
other novels Of the same class ever Published.
Even at this very momcnt, on The announcement a,
the nomination OF Silas Wright. We see thar ;ha,
ptous man. Thuriow Weed of Albany who has here
tofore been alu,os, gloritsd with place amonss;
the saints OF the Romish Calendar, and who had
formerly regarded Sias Wrish. as one Of the bes,
men IN the State, discovers that he has not single
virtue at all ana that he is the deadly foe 10 the
prosperity and welfare OF his native State. Hear

Ifthe State of New Yorklhad completed her works Of

tac currency they in favor OF direct taxation
fail back and shrye up they would elect siias Wright
Governor lie is the best man in the state Tor all these
purposes He represses enterprise and resiss improve
mens He hates canals and railroads, and would rather
them deserted than employed He hates roaos and
harbors and votes steadily against their construction or
Improvement He would rather our Erie canal filled
up than enlarged He hates banks, and would see the
people reduced hardmoney currency rather than
JOY facilities which enable them TO acquire property. He
hates ships and would rather them in the docks dis
manted than ponghng the ocean in fu freight and how-
ing In short il the people Of the State OF New
York in al that themselves and the common
wealth want to back instead OF forward to retreat n
stead of advancing slas Wright is their Elect him
Governor andrhs Empire State before
half developed before its destiny Is half fulfilled VIII DE-
| gin to Decline"
By and by Silas Wright will be proved by all the
WhIg newspapers TO be fit only for the State prison
or the penitentary, or even worse place than
either. This is the sort of reading which now oc-
cupies the refined and patriotic people o. both Sides
NEW MUSICAL STAR.-Another musical treat
Of high order may shortly be expected, as by a
late arrival from Havre, gentleman is conveyed
| TO our shores, of whose name the most honorable
mention is made in the Paris journals We hope
| that Mons A. Garreau, which is the name OF the
artist, will be prevailed upon to give us, at an early
date, a specimen of his musical genius-thus
spoken Of in laudatory terms by the Partisan pa
pers:-
[From "La France Musicale ~
Amongstthe concerts Of the 18th cannot forget that
which has been given in the Herr Hall, by Mons. Adrian
Garreau Tender and energetic alternately NJ Garresu

played in inspiring manner than at his last con.

great and legitimate success to which the piano OF NJ

/ (From "Le Journal des Theatres y
These reflections ugested themselves to US the other
day, at the concert given by Mons Garreau violonci
accumulate Playel Hall crowd of the elegant
and arstocratc society Of Paris and under the influence
Of those IDEAS it was with difficulty in spite of u.s. that
could lend that degree OF attention to the music which
il demanded.
For NJ. Garreau patronized with such .ture,r this
winter by the fabourg Germane has on this occasion
shown himself connoisser and the possessor OF fine
talent II sometimes carried away by the emotion which
does NOT ntonate sufficiently certain tras-o balance

his chords-by turns impetuous or gentle, elegant or

jecton until the very moment that applause almost ire
to pluck you from that happy state of forget

A young artist whose fame is yet too little known
Mons A. Garreau-has revealed talent o the first order
at the concert lately given by the Society Of Charity
Accuracy. experness decacy and exquisite grace and
profound appreciation Of melody comprise the qualities
which have appeared to recommend the chaste and
comprehensive performance Of the vrtuoso particularly
in the delicious "anaisie" composed by himself on the
movements Of Lucia d Lammermoor." The numerous
and brilliant audience which had graced this musical
meeting has rendered sparkling tribute of justice to
that modest merit which has the right in future to all
the advantages of celebrity.
GAMBLING AND GAMBLERs.-We have heard that
the gambling fraternity of this city, 1000 in num-
Der, with some 10000 who subsist in connexion
with them, are about TO get some person to deliver
of lectures their behalf, in opposition to
Mr.. Green, the reformed gambler, in which it viii
be shown that they only play fair and honorable
games with cards, and as they use only Krehoare
cards, no one can tell them at the backs. They
propose to show, also, many other things relative
gambling and Mr.. Green. This is quite right; is
well known that "when rogues fall out just men
get their own.
