Is not this rich The triumvirate of the Mirror
Is composed Of McLachlan, Fuller, and man by
the name Of Cason, who furnishes the funds to
keep the concern afoat McLachlan attends to the
black mail business of the concern, as may be seen
by these precious epistles He hints to the great
vocalist that $50 would be kindly received-that he
asks the money out of pure frIendshp-and besides,
modesty intimates ho,c he, 7smpleton, might be at
tackled on the "afair with Clrehugh." This is the
black mail system in its highest state of refinement.
Like the apothecary in "Romeo and Juliet" 'his
poverty but noth his will consents" The Mirror con-
Germ ispoor and wants money. Very likely-a poor
er or more contemplate concern than the trlumvi-
rate does not exist.
AS to the personal illusions of these miserable
creatures to myself and to my family, shall treat
them with utter contempt. Clason and his card are
beneath notice. Our conduct through life and osr
reputation for many years In New York, our educa-
ton and birth, and also those ofmy family, are equal
to the highest in this community; and shall main
tain that position in resolute but perfect tranquility
against all the malice and jealousy that any set OF
miserable creatures can attempt against us. Mean
| time we claim the $50 reward.
RELIGIOUS TRIAL-A very curious trial is now in
progress In one of city churches, the defendant
being the officiating clergyman The charges pre-
terred against him said be OF the ost serious
character, involving the reputation of several fair
sets with closed doors, and the result Of their in
vestigation is somewhat doubtful Onderdonkng
is becoming very prevalent among the clergy, and
unless some extraordinary measures are shortly
adopted, the whole church will be scandalized-
Angels, and all good men, are now weeping over
the fraily and folly Of these errlng brethren of the
surpce, who profane the sanctuary OF God by their
unholy thoughts and impure desires Let them be
brought to punishment.
LATE FROM HAYrI-By the brig Republic, Capt
Scott, which left Port Prince on the 18th inst,
We have received files of Hayden papers Of the 4th
inst They contain no news worth translating.
The captain reports that expedition was fitting
out, destined to make an attack on the Dominlcans
1t was expected that the blow would be struck in
the month of February, from which the Haytiens
expect great results in their favor.
The President has written reply, addressed to
the French consul, in which his conduct towards
Dubras is explaine and justified twill be remem.

against the State ind had received orders to quit the

return again without leave. For this contempt he
