Among the things which transpred on the day
set apart for the funeral obsequies of the late ex
President jackson, the conduct Of Mr.. Coleman, of
the National Hotel, deserves particular notice.
That gentleman has on this, every other occa-
sion, exhibited manly and generous spirit, and so
demeaned himself as to leave a most favorable inn
preston on our citizens. Before the east front of
the capitol agreed on for the place Of the ora
ton, Mr.. Coleman rendered, for that purpose, the
use of his extensive area between the wings of his
building, and all the convenient and commodious
balconies which surround it, thus, in effect throw
ing almost his whole establishment open to the pub
lie When the ceremonies Of Friday were con-
cuded, he invited the subcommittee Of citizens to
partake of an elegant dinner which he had prepared
for them. All this was very handsome Of the spirit
ed and enterprising host Of the "National." II
evnced an earnest desire to please, and is, am
sure, duly appreciated by the public who, when they
find man Of temper and soul to deserve success,
will make their business that he receives tat least

The Boston Atlas, Alexandria Gazette, (Rich-
mond Wing, of course,) and some other wing pa
pers, have republished from the "New York Courier
and Enquirer the fabulous account about the sup
preston of Mr.. J. C. Rives's speech. We call upon
those papers to do us justice, by republishing our
own explanation Of this transaction.
In connection with this subject, we have to no.
tice an additional legend of the wing press. Two
of the letter-wrters of this city inform the "New
York Herald'--one, that there is a "row, rumpus,
or misunderstanding" between Mr.. Riyes and the
editor of the "Union;' that it is "the town talk"
the other, that Mr.. Rives has "falen out'' with us,
and threatens to start another paper in opposition to
the "Union." We are happy to inform these sym
pathizing wings that the whole story is fable.

new apparatus, is prepared to furnish this refresh
ing beverage in the highest state Of perfection The
machine for manufacturing the water is of new and
novel construction, and its employment dispenses
with the use of the forcing pump, whereby the taste
of brass, oil, or leather, SO common when charged
in the old way, is entirely avoided, and the water
made purer and stronger; which being drawn with
cork and bottle, las practised in New York and
Philadelphia renders it altogether perfect article
