WAsHrNcToN's BIRTH DAY.-The natal day of
the father of his country promises TO be celebrated
in great style all over the country. We perceive
that arrangements are already made at Washing.

received an invitation. Similar arrangements are
in progress in other cities This is a very proper
time to the first principles Of the founders
of the republic and to express our qualification at
the success Of the experiment, by dancing as much
as possible. Besides, we have good times now,
and have better reason to dance than we have had
for ten years past. So play up, iddlers!

FABRICATED FOREIGN NEws.-Several Of the
journals at thesouh seem to be possessed with the
idea that the recent intelligence from Europe, which
have published in anticipation of all our contem-
poraries here was fabricated for speculative pupc-
ses most impairment letter to this effect appeared
in the Madiso,ian, which astonishes us very much,
for John Jones in these matters has tact and sense,
although none in politics We perceive that the
Richmond IVhig, one Of the most INSCRIPTIONS
and unprincpled party journals, repeats the same
untruth and even the Richmond Star seems to
hang some doubt on our news.
1t will be sufficient, in reply to all these con-
temptible insnuations, to say that there was not
single line, or letter, or figure Of that publish
ed by us which was not taken vsrbatim from
the Liverpool and London papers, all the originals
of which are still In our possession; and that the
whole story was invented by the miserable knaves
in this city who are afraid of our enterprise, and
dread the progress of the Herald throughout the
country, and its influence every thing connected
with commercial affairs. We believe it was first
published in an obscure paper here without any
circulation, was then copied into that bungling con-
Germ the Express, and thence found its way into
the other bungling concerns in some parts OF the
country.
more ridiculous and impudent imputation
never could have been invented 1t is no interest
to us to fabricate or garble European intelligence.
We speculate in nothing-we trade in nothing-we
deal in nothing but newspapers; and it is mani
testify our interest to give all the news without IN
crease, alteration or diminution, precisely as we
receive it.

NEW CLASSICAL OPERA IN BosToN.-We

to get up Italian Opera themselves, are en-
deavoring to introduce more ancient, and as
they think more classical species Of entertain

ed by few brushed up niggers. The literary peo-
ble of that refined metropolis console themselves
with the idea that TINS is the highest species Of
classical opera, being the same kind Of opera as
was patronized by Sesostris the great King of Egypt
who fourshed exactly 3567 years months and IL
days before this era according to thatprofound anti
quarian, Mr.. Gliddon-of course this is all righ

CAMEO Extraordinarily it has been sup
posed that this particular branch of the fine arts,
| cameo cutting, cannot be done to any perfection
out Of Rome. We have recently seen, however,
a specimen executed by native artist, which Mr..
Gelston, and the connoisseurs in that line, mis-
took for work Of Italian art, and supposed it had
been taken by one of the first artists in Rome.
1t was bas-relief miniature, on a colored cameo,
of the editor of this paper, and was the work OF
Mr.. Salathiel Ellis, PAT Broadway, IN this city.
This MIR. Ellis is a green-mountain boy, only a
few years from Vermont. lie was portrait
painter by profession but finding that line of the
arts overstocked, with the usual Yankee ingenuity
and enterprise, broke of in that direction which
now bids so fair to lead him to fame and fortune.
Mr. Ellis has invented an instrument, by the aid OF
which he takes, with mathematical accuracy, the
outlines of portraits, and, then, in few sittings
fills them up with the expression, in the most
finished and artist-like manner. The specimen in
urpossesson is certainly one of the most exquisite
things of the kind ever executed by an American
artist.

NATIONAL CoURTEsIEs.-DINNER TO THE STEER
AGE OFFICERS OF H. B. M. SHIP VEsrAL.-On Fri
day afternoon dinner was given to the Stcerage
Officers of II B. M ship Vesta, by the officers OF the
larboard steerage Of the U. S. frigate Raritan.-
During the afternoon the greatest conviviaty ex-
sted Toasts were drank and exchanged without
one word of i'll feeling-in fact every thing went
off with the greatest fciaf.
On Saturday afternoon the dinner was reisrsed
by the Steerage Officers of the Vestal, in the most
sumptuous manner. The same good feeling exist
ing as on the previous evening. Not one word
was uttered TO mar the harmony Of the entertain
ment. As both ships are bound to Rio, the officers
anticipate spending some pleasant hours together in
that port.
In every quarter of the world the same harmony
exists among the English and American officers
They are more like officers belonging to one SER
vice than to distinct navies, and navies too that
have been more than once opposed to each other
matched like two Samsons-speaking the same
language-beonging to the same race-guided by
the same warm impulses and possessing the same
indomitable courage, these officers mingle toge-
ther one family, one circle, and one mess.
