Fall-the season of all seasons, begins to remind
us of his approach, by requiring US to dof our
thin jackets, and button up our dress coats. The
weather this week has been rather gloomy 'or mo
middle of August-rainy, drizzly and chilly.
We have had here one excitement after ano-
Their, but all of mushroom growth and substance,
until we can now lay our hands on something
worth telling. The Clergy have got at it Sc now
all We common folks "stand from under, clear
the ring" and "no gougng" Quite war OF
words is being waged by one Rev. VIM. W Fat
ten the new pastor just settled over the 4Ih Pres
byterian church, in this city, against the Rev Dr.
Halves, for many years pastor OF the lst Fresoy-
terrain church. The Doctors serious offence, was
the not reading OF a notice from his pulpit, ON
the Sabbath, sent him by Patten, OF an abolition
sermon to be delivered that evening at his church.
The Doctor was the same evening gong to have
services in his own house, and wished his people
to attend their own services! For winch unPar-
old, and just come into the city, berates and lee
lures the Doctor, who is about ", through the ed
itorial columns of the abolition paper here-Ine
Charter Oak" He calls the Doctor some naugh-
ty names, and the American board OF commis-
sioners for foreign missions, ''Dr Halves pet
baby" sc. The past week fuel has been added
to the flame. by another publication IN the same
sheet, alleging that at a recent assembly oil minis
tiers at Pennington, the propriety OF censuring
Patten for his unchristian conduct, was discussed
and laid one side. -,
i
disposition is dctatorias and overbearnR-but In
this squabble he has certainly acted with lore,
bearance and in a Christian spirit Mr. Fatten,
think, will not be much longer IN hnd'nS OUT
self evident truth to any reasoning minu, VIZ
that young minister coming INTO Hariords aoos
nothing to his reputation by editing even tempo
rarily political abolition sheet, aud at the same
time using his temporary station, to attack, wltn-
out cause long settled and well known divines Oh
the city.
On Monday next our new postmaster, NoImand
Lyman, Esq takes possession OF Uncle sam
effects in this city. He has for many years here
been a much respected merchant and has polk
ed into the political drudgery deep enough 70
merit the office. We trust he will immediately
affairs of our post office. And LIST, Have the New
York mail opened and ready for delivery, IN less
than hour to hour and a halt, after its ar
rival, as at present I'd, That when this imp9r-
tant mail arrives, he will never stop TO read the
first paper he can snatch out Oft, until he has all
the letters and papers distributed, Tor the perfect
jam of merchants and others, waiting Tor tho
Office to open, to get their turn at the solitary de-
livery. Sd, To give the 400 merchants and me
chanics, who pay the Office over $500 ANNUALLY
fer box accommodations, sepa. ate delveIy.-
Ditto for the ladies' Ditto for the gentlemen with
out boxes. With these Improvements mace AT
his 'goings-in " he will draw forth many bless
ings upon his official career. He is going INTO an
office surrounded by democratic clerks, with
solitary exception and each one faithful and ex-
perienced. He has no cares but to learn his les
son, and sudvdter nlOdO see that the pubic nave
every possible accommodation extended to them.
The subscription of our citizens. pledged to the
New York & Hartford Railroad, already amounts

the road, are now seeing how much better IN pro-
portion they can do To such substantial back

The Summer Retreats-Ne,c Buadings- Theatres
and 1heatricals.
BY the date of this letter you will perceive that
am in the "City of Notions" Most Of the inha-
btants, who have been at the different watering
places dtirng the hot season, are returning, nfter
having become invigorated by the cool sea air
that blows in abundance on our coast. Nahant
and Gloucester, among other pleasant and de-
lightful retreats about Boston, have been well pa
tronised this season, if should judge from the
long list of arrivals that daily published in tho
papers-and am glad it is SO; that is, am glad
that people have come to the conclusion that
dame nature did smile once, at least, on New
England.
There has been great deal Of building done
here this season. In Pearl street, large and splen
did brick dwelling houses have been torn down to
| give way for substantial and commodious granite
blocks, to be used as wholesale stores-the Who'll,
trade being in this part ofthe city. And in nearly
every street in the city, especially Washington
street, there has been ch inges or less in this
respect / am told that the work of demolition
and re- building has been carried to greater ex-
| tent this year than formerly Some OF the propri-
etors Of the theatres have not been backward in
the mania for buhdng-o be sure the proprietor
OF the Museum required a more substantial build
ing, besides more room for his extensive establish
ment-and he has got IT, should Judge, from mo
! looks of the large and splendid granite block that
may be seen on fremont Row, called the Mu.
scum. In Howard street, also, a most beautiful
| opera house is being erected by Boyd and Bearce.
The front is of rough granite. Time works
changes surely-but four years since, on this very
81 OF, where now is to be erected temple dedica-
| ted to the drama, was the well known Miller Ia
bernace; and where might have been heard
shouts and praises ascending from the believers
in that doctrine, of which Father Miller is the
head Last winter 1t was under the management
OF a theatrical company, and went by the name
Of the Howard Atheneum; it wss afterwards
burnt TO the ground. During the short time II was
open, it met with more success than was expect
ed ut first. moneyed firm, tempted by the
OVERLOOKING houses that had been assembled,
bought the land with the intention of building
that which was needed in the clty-a fashionable
| place of amusement
As have got SO far into theatrcals, may a.
well give some information that point, as the
season is just begun. Insluding the Museum and
Howard Opera House, as places for amusement,
there is the Boston Theatre, which opens Tor the
first time tonight. IL has undergone a thorough
change throughout and IT IS said to be not only
decorated in good taste but very convenient ms
Street Theatre. and fourteen years have elapsed
since there has been any actng-it has been oc-
cupied by religious and other societies during TINS
,r,e but the drama has at last succeeded, ana
