called at Colemans Hotel yesterday, lit
tie before the sonorous and musical gong sum
moned the crowd of hungry guests and visit
ers, who sauntcred about the ante-room, the bar
room the piazzas and corridors, to the noble
dining room, to partakG of the usual sumptu-
Gus fare at that spacious, wel-regulated and
splendid hotel-which is not certainly in
feror to, but counterpart of the celebrated

1t has fallen in my way to visit Coleman's fire.
quently since last October, and to examine mi.
nulely, the large and smaller rooms, the ordi.
naries, parlors, and bedrooms in the National
liotel and | cannot bat remark, in Justice to
the udcious arrangements made in every part
of the building, for the comfort and accommo.
datlon of the guests, that Coleman has sue.
ceeded to admiration, IN establishing one of tho
very best Hotels in this country, which cannot
fail to attract company from every part of the
Union, and indeed "to draw full house" Gil

val impelS the great body of the people towards
the metropolis of the nation But it is not ne.
cessary TO write even line in favor of Cole

it eclat, popularity or patronage. All these
have been already achieved by the excellent
management, the superior tact, and the uni

one about his house to be idle or Indifferent to
the comfort and welfare ofhIs gucsts-and who
has acquired the happy art of iniusing the right
spirits, and the desire IF obliging, into all his
sstants, clerks and walters An admirable
system of ncatness, comfort and prompt atten-
ton not only pervadcs Coleman's Hotel, but
extends itself to the establishments, which are
attached to it. In the hair dressing saloon Of

good name which it has obtained under the
management of Mr.. Gibbs, whose pride it APP.
