JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ -
In wishing you happy New Year, I but act in
response to many your friendsin this metropolis;
for, say they, "Long live the Ne,v York Herald
and it's enterprising conductor James Gordon Ben
nett" With this DEPRESSION, proceed to speak
Of the various matters laid down as my caption.
First, then, as to the day. 1t has been said, and
that very justly too. that :" winter sometimes lin
gers in the lap of spring." In reference to this
day, l must remark, that, from its sunshine and
balminess, it may almost be lkened to day in
summer and the lines of the poet are not inappro-
PIRATE:
The day II is beautiful,
With its soft and balmy breath,
Its sunshine for the garden flowers,
And softness for the health"
This, il will be recollected, is the last general
opportunity afforded our citizens to pay their re-
spects to his excellency, John Tyler, whose career
as President closes on the I'd of March next; and,
as matter of course, it is embraced by all who
crowd as was thsre! The people seemed TO lay,
for time, their old prejudices aside, and join, in
the almost universal throng, to bid adieu to the
President Young and old OF both sexes were there,
shaking hands with the President, who appeared in
fine health. His young and handsome wife wasat
his side during the whole time, and was repeatedly
congratulated. Among those who called upon him
was the brother OF the President elect, Col. VIM n.
pOlk WI WI n
Johnson.
Col Polk attracted much attention, and received
many introductions. He is tall and elegantly form
ID, and has beautiful eyes and hair, which are
black Among the ladies he excited some interest,
and heard many inquiries as to his being single.
Alter leaving the Presidents, visited the vene-
rable Mrs. Madison; who seemed n excellent sn,
of crowd Of ladies and gentlemen, who had gath
cred to pay their respects to this very estimaDle
old lady, the beloved widow OF the late lamented
refreshments for her friends. After wishing her
happy New Year, took my leave.
From thence repaired to the residence OF Ex-
President Adams. whom found at home receiving
family. He looks about as well as usual and If
may be allowed to Judge, should say he is likely
% live out the frosts OF many winters to come.
congratulated him and then withdrew.
l desire to correct an error which fell into IN
my last letter Internationally. do this as an act
ofjustice. The correction is this: The Nm. Dove,
charged with committing rape upon MISS
Wright, of Baltimore, is not Wm. 4. D0ve, grocer,
but WH1 Dove, bacon merchant, Pennsylvania Ave.
nue. As regards Mrs. Coyle, who was his accom-
plice, what should render her infinitely more OBJ.
noxious to the community Is, that she assumed
very respectable calling here, as a cloak to hide
her horrid and abandoned depravity-a sign hung
out OF her door, with her name upon it, as dress
maker Thus, by being tolerated in that capacity,
has she brought discredit upon business to
which, in this community. SO many very worthy
and highly respectable in life have connected them
selves for livelihood, barring the calls that might
have been made upon her by young beautiful, and
unsuspectlng women. Some awful disclosures Is
expected to grow out Of this case, OF which you
shall be duly apprised. =.
The democratic ball, Of which wrote you, is
getting the ascendancy over the office.holders'
ball The National theatre has, ! understand,
been engaged by the former, and preparations have
already commenced for putting it In ample order.
The exterior Of the theatre has been newlypained.
In the various circles OF this metropolis and dis
trct the democratic ball.is the subject OF much
talk among the ladies, who are already, with few
exceptions, strongly in its favor. The $40 ball, or
Office holders ball. as it is called, is becoming
daily unpopular with the ladies'. They agree that
Mr. Poik's friends should now come in for the
spoils provided there is any to be had at this ball
apprehend, from what ctn see and hear, that
there will be greater assemblage OF intelligence,
wit and beauty in the persons of the ladies at 1.-THE
democratic Inauguration ball, than was ever as
sembled before at an affair Of the kind in the me-
tropolis of the Union. VINDKx.
