IHE APPROACHING ELEcTIoN.-WmG TICKET
Mr. Bradlsh, after good deal of consultation, has
agreed to run for Senator from this district to which
he was nominated by the whig party. 1t is singu-
lar fact, however, that in his very able letter accept
ing the nomination, he gives one of the severest
slaps to the Fourier section of the wings that we
have seen. He discountenancesi in the most pointed
manner, all those various new reforms and isms
which have been brought forward by the philosophi-
cal section of the whig party, which seems indeed,
to be composed of the crazlest of men that ever
existed, and who are fit only for the lunac asylum,
or some other secure and safe retreat

FASH oNABLE MOVEMENTS DE Meyer has sue
ceeded in bringing out the fashion of the CITY at the
Park In degree quite beyond precedent for some
years past The real fashionabes-the simon pure
sristocracy In all their spendors, jewelry, brants
and all that came out in hundreds to witness his
debut He has in fact made greater sensation than
any artist that has appeared here since the days of
Mabren, or the first opening of the Italian Opera
at the old National Theatre The array of beauty
elegance, fashion, and the ''upper ten thousand" at
the Park on Monday last was quite dazzling and is
the theme of universal remark To-nieh, we will
have another equally brilliant scene
