IN Ercusc. think two weeks have passed
since | last held communion sweet" with your
readers, to either of whom | think | will ask
the simple questionable you ever have the IN
tiucnza: complaint which generally biesseS us
during the gloOmicSt season Of the wear. Man
is heir to many rniserieS, and if devils are sent
10 torment him into obedience, which NAV or
may not be the case, there can be but little
doubt that they come in the form of this same
fashionable complaint, called the influenza. and
with invisible hand inhct upon him varions
tortures, boring his Joints with red-hot augors
beating tattoo on his BRAIN and so squeezing his
lungs with their tiny fingers, that respiration
becomes rksome, and ''thS breathing world u
farce. What makes the complaint more hide
Gus, ltcXcitcs no Commiscrdtion--tell kind and
considcrate friend that YOU are suffering under
the influenza, and instead OF plying, he con-
graduates yoG on your being in the fashion,
There are tears tor the unfortunate, but iccrs
for the unhappy invalid who groans under all
the penalties of severe cold. The fog is now
passing away--and the sunshine of intellect
once more brightens the field OF imagination
The President Fleet. The arrival Of Mr.. Polk
has caused no small hustle among the ms and
outs. In hiS wake follows a long line Of disin-
icrcsCd politicians, OF course, Of the purely
democmticschool--dye in the wool--uniliuch-
ing and uncompromisng democrats, who have
now found out ''who this James n. Polk 49,"
Our hotels are filling mp iast-and we shall
have stirring time Of it until after the 9Th of
March 1t is worth the time spent to lounge
awhile in Colemdn's Hotel, the quarters of the
President elect, and mark the efforts of the
hangers-on to make good impression-an in
IL
the particular attention of the new Executive,
requires more tact and skill than majority Of
the eXpectants are endowed with. Now, Beau
Hickman, who is at present among the dstn-
guished visitors to the metropolis, manages
this kind of thing with all his usual adroitncss
--"there is no such VOID as Eliln III his vocab-
ulary; and it is pretty generally believed tina,
he will ring in" for at least Consulship -
The Beau picks his teeth at Colelnan's with
the most approved non-chalancc, and swings
his cane with killing effect.
Lectures. The Rev. Mr.. Stockton's course
Of Lectures at the 9thstreet Methodist Church
have attracted large audiences, lie is pow
eriul speaker-chaste, poetic, and truly c!o-
quent. DIR. De Bonneville is lccturing at Con-
cert Hall on Animal Magnetism. During the
day he receives visits from persons suffering uIl-
der nervous complaints, and | have been IN

magistrate of this city Of deafness, Of twelve
years standng-therc are strong symptoms of
success.
The Drama. The play Of Putnam, at the
National Theatre, notwithstanding the nclem-
ency Of the weather, has drawn excellent
houses. The Olympic Saloon, under the man.
agement of Mrs. Timm, though an excellent
place of resort, quiet, warm, and well arranged
appears to be falling off; probably on account
OF the superior attraction at the other concern.
John of Paris is announccd-it is a beautiful
little Opera, and admirable calculated for the
talent and strength of the company-f the eff
feet of the composition of Boildeau Is to be
carried out, it would be well for Mrs Timm to
Increase her orchestra, at least by leading
violin.
Rumor. 1t was stated in your paper that
MIR. kettlewell, one of your most esteemed
merchants, was likely TO receive the appoint
ment to the Consulshp of Liverpool; there
seems to be no foundation for such belief in
this city. MIR. X. is fully worthy of rich Of
flee under government-and will doubtless re-
ceive one, probably the Consulship to Havana

teemed by both parties than Mr.. K, he is a
man of close business habits, and admirably
calculated for the office of commercial agent
