Spanish, and people of almost every other nation

To see New York society in all its various phases
requires residence, for time, in some Of thearge
fashionable boarding houses. In such places, the
foreigners generally congregate. AT dinner table
may be seen the whlskered and moustached face,
sitting alongside of beautiful lady, whom he per-
petually bothers with his broken English. The at
tentlon with which his trash is listened and which
good breeding requires to be paid to every speaker.
impresses the fool with the belief that he has capt.
waited the lady whom he addresses. Acting under
this belief, he makes further advances, and some
times carries his presumption so far as to address
the lady by letter, in his broken English. Of
this kind recently occurred at one Of our fashionable
boarding houses The whiskered coxcomb had the
mpudence to address beautiful young lady in the
same house, and sent her three letters, which 4
friend of hers has placed at our disposal, and which
we insert for the special benefit OF the coxcomb who
wrote them, and as an illustration Of fashionable
boarding house society in New York -

This Is merely sample OF the strange freaks and
and outre manners which are generated in our sim
guarly mixed and compounded social system. Look
at Broadway a fine day! 1t comprehends
greater variety of manners, styles, Dress and modes
than even the Boulevards of Paris. Of late, how
ever, moustachios and impudence, imperals and ig-
norance, have been making great Roadway in every
public pace-in many private saloons, and in soci-
ETY. in general But of all ridiculous things which
we have seen, nothing is supremacy so, as to see
young men, natives Of this common-sense land, en-
deavoring to cultivate mustachios and imperlals,
and trying to vie with many Of those outlandsh ad-
venturers, whose whole stock and fortune lies on
the outside Of their heads or around their chns. jim
Paris, mustachios and lmperials have descended 10
the boot-makers, the journeymen tailors, and the
lower orders of that great capital. Here they are
just in their full vigor, and may flourish for few
seasons, to follow the way Of all flesh and folly

factions in Albany is still lively and strong, extend

tons which each of these make of the selfish and
unprincipled conduct of one another. We believe
them both, firmly, just as we believe what Thurlow

Brooks, say of each other According to the evil

two democratic factions, which should be noticed,
as constituting the distinction between the argus
and Atlas is ths-hat the former is the representa-
tive Of the Polk and Marcy faction; the latter of the
Wright and Van Buren, clique. knowing this, and
the explanation put upon both these factions at
Washington, may lead to some serious pmeste yet,
