This is day dear to lovers and other sentiment
tai fish, and one of especial row and rumpus in
your goodly city. The Yankees, instead Of adopt
ing the New York fashion of moving on May day,
move Just when they please, summer or winter;
and to my notion that is much the best way
There is, however, good deal of this upon May
day here especially in the morning, when the fair
sex and their admirers troop off into the country,
en- horseback, on foot, in vehicles, in pursuit OF
flowers Ugh. Flowers such day as this One
might as well look for them in the midst of ST.
berian winter. Here and there, you may see an
app loot tree IN bloom upon the LIST OF May, but the
flowers are not so green as to show their heads
yet while. They have too much respect for q
certain parsonage called John Frost, ESQ was
silly enough once To get up early of May morn
ing and go out tor flowers, with one or two good
fellows, and what do you think we brought home,
Mr. Editor? Why a bag OF ciams' Yes, clans,
regular blvalves-by ye gods. Not finding any
green sprigs upon Dorchester heights, and seeing
the beach below temptDgly exposed by the low
state Of the tide just took some pointed sticks
and dug up mess of CLAIMS, which we brought
home and had made into a mos! glorious clam
soup. So much for my exploits at Mayipg.
The steamer Caledonia sailed this day at two
o'clock for Halifax and England, with a full list
OF passengers. Among them was that Texas run.
away Secretary Of Slate, Ashbel Smith, ESQ.
who went of incog. ! am told that he is regu.
lar Connecticut wooden-nutmeg Yankee. He has
reversed the usual initial designation given TO alb
sconding rosues. Instead OF G T. T. (gone to
Texas, - he must be reported G F. T (gone from
Texas,) and learn, the people OF Texas are pro-
foundy Ignorant of his destination and of his pur-
poses. When he gets back from England he may find
that he is private citizen, and the government
which appointed him tumbe5 into the kennel.
The people. OF Texas are not the sort of folks to
stand much nonsense from their rulers, and ii the
latter try to trade them of to John Bull revolution
and deposition will be short and easy work with
the worshippers of lone star.
Western railroad stock went up, one per cent
yesterday, viz to l02 This is said to be in con-
sequences of the settlement upon amicable terms OF
difference between theWesteIn company and the
Worcester railroad company, as to the compensa.
hauling their freight and passengers between Bos.
ton and worcester. The Western road only ex.
tends from Albany to Worcester, and Of course
has to come under the grasping dominion Of the
Boston and Worcester railroad, in getting its
freight and fares brought to Boston This state Of
affairs has given rise to good deal OF heartburn.
Ing, and at the last session OF the Legislature, the
matter was so regulated that the arrangement now
effected Ia the result thereof But that extra dollar
IN the price of shares will soon be whitfield up and
niGe more besides, If that road from New York to
Albany is ever built.
