TRAVELLING CURIosIrlEs is announced that
the late editors of the Globe" Beauty and the
Beast" as they are called at Washipgtou-are
about to undertake the tour OF the States. We are
not Uniformed how they intend to travel, and
cannot positively state whether it will be
van, as in the case of other curiosites in natural
history. We would, however, offer in all humili-
ty the suggestion that this mode Of transit from
place to place be adopted by them. We really be-
eye that il Blair was thus to be led about, and ex
hbted for reasonable sum" and no money re.
ned"-that he would realize in the course of the
summer and fall as many dollars as he has acquired
by the Globe.
Blair is an extraordinary being He is one OF
the greatest curioslties Of the age. To see him
sauntern a ballroom, or concert roonl-so cool,
so impudent, SO odd, SO
Cheated Of feature by assembling nature
with all his gacherie and originality of costume, he
does indeed present a spectacle, indescribaby en-
tertaining and amusing. BY all means let him ira
vel caravan, and the ugrubrious strains of the
Morning Ne,cs, Pemmsyivanfan, and other papers of
that ilk, might be sct to music, and played the
clarionet and trombone, as the Snowman cried out
-"WaIk up, Ladies and Gentlemen, walk up The
greatest curiosity in the States Beauty and the
Beast just arrived from Washington! Only quar-
ter, children half price and no money returned"'
o. On looking over our files of English papers,
we can perceive that there are two matters which
seem to give the greatest disturbance to the polit
clans of Great Britan-one is Mr.. Folks Inaugu-
raj, the other, Thiers History OF the Consulate and
the Empire. The monarchcal journals of Great
terms OF maledictlon. They charge upon Theirs
the heinous crime Of writing for future times, and
endeavoring to show that the principles which
were at work in the French Revolution, and ope-
rated on the consulate and empire, were identical
with those Of the American Revolution. Thus
the great democracy seems forever to haunt the
English journalists. 1t is spectre that travels
with them night and day.
CHOICE WyNE-We perceive that new descrip-
ton of wine has been introduced into this country
recently. 1t is called the "Thorn Champagne.
1t has been manufactured with great care from Il 9
best grapes Of one OF the fines! vineyards in tie
Champagne district Of France, and is 'putup with
special care, under the personal supervision Of one
of the best judges in Europe There are three va
rieties OF the wine. One very dry wine, which
will probably be preferred by some another is less
dry, and will undoubtedly be the favorte the third
is sweeter still, and is much esteemed. The three
varieties comprise the different tastes that rule the
demand. Concerning this wine, Colonel Thorn,
the millionaire, thus writes-"It is of quality
rarely to be met with in America have drunk
no other for years past" Each bottle Is branded
with the mark Of Col. Thorn, and need only, to
show its genuness to be tasted to be properly
appreciated by the greatest connoisseMrs. Mr.. c.
Livingston, of Wall street, is the sole agent in the
United States for the sale of this wine, who will
keep on hand constant supply.

most comfortable and splendid restaurants in this
city, where good meal may be enjoyed, served
up In first rate style, is at Piers, l56 Broadway
Here there is the finest wines, the best of spirits

cuisine Department. 1t is indispensable; there has
been lately engaged for this establishment one of
the rst Partisan artstss that has ever been in this
country one that has had considerable practice.
both at the Astor and at Bancards, where his pro-
ductions have been highly extolled. The most ca
pacious boxes, the well lighted room, the attentive,
polite, and prompt attendance TO all commands, to-
gether with the courtesy Of the worthy host render
this one Of the greatest accommodations in the
city, and to temporary sojourners in the various
hotels in the neghborhood, it is found particularly
convenient and its quiet retreat proves very plea
SAINT to those residing in the lower part of the ciy
returning 10 their residences at late hour in the
evening.
SAD lNTkILIGENCE.-We learn that the sick
ness on board the U. s. ship Vandalia, which we
