I'VE are very moral people, Captain Marryat,"
and who can doubt the saints Of Rochester when
the church porrdge pots, vulgarly called bells, are
at it ding dong all day long Imprimis, shall d.
vide nv discourse into several branches, and first,
concerning saints and sinners"
The revivals are Just commencing, and one at the
second Presbyterian Church has got the furnace OF
anathema ard birthstone IN full blast, and promises
to recast goody number OF woeful sinners into
doubtful saints. The best, most correct estimate
ever made of the relative number OF sinners and
saints in this pious community, was one made by
that ace of trumps, MAJOR Humphrey, OF the Adj
vertiser, who spent rather less than two months
the calculation, and then alter allowing all the
minister's deacons, the youngand handsome ladies TO
pass without scrutiny came 10 the conclusion tha'
there might, possibly, be saint 10 forty sinners
Secondly, concerning things theatrcal: Our
theatre has just closed, having Adams and Grattai

was removed, and Joseph Strong, bank director,
tnancIer, trader IN stocks and city lots obtained
the appointment chiefly through the influence OF
Colonel Watson, then editor of the Tyler paper
Strong, however. used Watson rather scurvly; and
some of the saints having forwarded certain docu-
ments to Washington, exhibiting the dealings OF
Strong, il was thought best for Strong to go and
palaver Mr. Spencer. Accordingly, the deputies
shared the travelling charges, and nowlt is SAID
his nomination will not be sent in to the Senate I'll
the close of the session; and, then, as the Senate
are to reject HIM, that the President will re-
appoint him Will John Tyler act thus or is 1t a
scheme of Mr.. Spencer's 7
