Trade with us, though much duller than it was
month ago. better than it has been at this season
for several years. The importers here are in the
finest of all possible spirits, and the bIandest mood
imaginable All Kilby street, that hive of the job
bers, wears the most benevolent of smiles, and
Washington street, that rendezvous of the trig
"sweet" retailers, is indulgng IN highly sublim-
ated grGa,o, The dry goods people are growing
fat upon prosperity. They ride, they waltz, (the
Polka, as taught in the Herald,) they expatate up
on the prospects of the country! Even the retail
ers of pins and tape, in homeopathic doses, INDUCES
in his cab before broadcast and, shifting the coun-
try air, cooily calculates the cost OF cottage,
carr age, and cOnsort. To give you some idea OF
this imitation, one OF our silk and ribbon men, dis.
tnguished for the rapidly with which he has grown
into the reputation OF large importer, recently
braved the dangers of the deep, to the great rlbu
Lyons, whittier he proceeded TO purchase
silks, his opinion, Of his own Importance,
and his disregard of Others, led him into
so many breaches OF good taste, tathSugh better
partner of his house, resident IN that city, candidy
informed him, that, if he ever came thither again,
their connection should be Immediately dissolved
The Lawrences, Ca. Il A., / mean,) having
pocketed larger annual profit than usual-nearly
million, am told, about to afford themselves
the luxury of new and elegant store, which they
erecting in Milk street, few doors below Con-
gress street. Young Edwards, formerly a store
boy in this establishment, but more recently part
ner, retired, few months ago, from the firm, 1t Is
said, with fortune OF quarter-mllllon. He was
succeeded by Dea. Lambert, formerly Lambert d
elade. Apropos of building the destruction, yes
terday noon, of the Franklin schoolh house, IN
Washington street, and several hne BRICK dwell
ng-houses adjoining, IN Dover street, VIII furnish
tenants for few OF the unoccupied structures, 50
many Of which have beel erected during the last
four or tive months
The epidemic for public tea-parties, at twenty
five cents per head, having ragged with great fury
in Boston, for more than SIX weeks, Is extending
its Infection to the country in the vicinity, to the
great satisfaction Of the benevolent proprietors OF
the " China Tea Warehouses; who, you know,
import % incredible quantities from the Emperer's
own private caddy, in one quarter pound, and
ounce parcels, tor other object in the world than
to oblige their retail customers.
Yesterday, the fancy soldiery paraded, IN batta-
lion order-a section Of twenty -four or five from
each company. Several of these have new and
splendid uniforms. The Boston Light Infantry,
commonly called the "Tigers," I 0rom an emblem
York." No. T., out of which the Boston Light In
fantry originated,) have beautiful uniform with
handsome bears skin grenadier's cap They will
be with you in the course of few weeks, and about
the same time, the Greys another good corps, will
pass through Gotham on their way to the monu-
mental city.
Theatricals, like the grass, are killed by the hot
weather Indeed, l may say, that to the drought
at his establishment-the want of water-Cold
water-coldwatar plays, and cold water men to aci
them-Peiby owes the barrenness OF his exchequer
the past season. Perhaps something may be laid
It the door OF the stage management, which has
been Infinitely inferior TO that at the Museum,
where Kimball has actually coined money-cieai-
ing $4,000 during the season. There will be an
unsparing competition between these two houses
upon their re-opening. Pelby will procure u
more competent stage-manager, and better
assorted company. Losing his late comedy
will recover from KlmDall, the old favortte
at the National, Hunt. The latter's place at
he Museum will, probably, be supplied by Saun-
ders late of the Bowery. Pelby has the more
elegant and commodiOus theatre; but Kimbals,
being upon fremont street, is better situated, in
tar better neighborhood, and devoid Of the many
unsavory associations which are attached to the
other house. BY the way, why do not some OF our
enterprising managers introduce the jet deau into
the pits OF their theatres during the warmer portion
of the acting season practicable, it would GER
tainly be pleasant.
The sales at the brokers' board were dull. One
share OF the Boston Exchange sold for $40 Thir
tyfive shares of the Western Railroad went at 7li
The Reading Railroad brought 23H 25; $50
shares of the Long Island Railroad sold for II

The day is perfect scorcher, the thermometer
standing 95 in the shade. Nahant, bingham, and
Cohasset Ocks are seducing TO their cool retreats
such OF our people as can get away. ANIL
