The CREsCENT.-Walter's g Crescent Restau-
rant and Oyster Saloon,' corner of St Charles and
Gravier streets, has been entirely refitted and
newly furnished /; and, as the good folks of New
Orleans and the Valley of the Mississippi are well
aware, he is always ready to serve up the delica-
cies of the season in the best style. In fact, it
would be difficult surpass Walter in his efforts

The GREEK SLAvE.-We find the following
mention of this work in the Philadelphia North
American and Gazette. The handsome compli-
ment to the liberality of Mr.. Robb in patronising
American talent is well deserved
1T will be seen by the advertisement that this
exquisite production of the chisel-the most atrac-
tive work OF art that has ever been exhibited in our
clty-ls to be removed from the Academy of Fine
Arts, at the close of the present week. 1t is to be
taken TO New Orleans, the residence of its liberal
and distinguished owner Mr. James Robb-a gem
tleman whose generous patronage of American
genius in sculpture and painting has contributed
not lpss to the useful promotion of art than to the
qualification of his well directed taste After the
completion of this admirable statute for Mr.. RObb
by the sculptor, Mr. Powers the proceeds of its ex
hibition for twelve-month were appropriated TO the
benefit Of the artist in addition to the cost of the
statue; since then, Mr.. Robb has placed it in the
Academy Of Fine Arts, here, allowing the instilu-
tiOn-towards which he has displayed on more than
one occasion, most liberal spirit-to receive The
proceeds of its exhibition; and it is now under
stood that on taking it to New Orleans, he contem-
plates before placing it in his private gallery in
some similar mode, to make its exhibition contri-
butte alike to the benefit of some public institution
as it will promote the fame and credit of the artist
1t is by liberal acts, such these, directed with
Just discrimination to the patronage of American
artists, that the genius Of our country is 10 be
brought out and fustered and shall hope TO zee
such examples followed by many Of our citizens in
the different parts of the Union. What appropria-
ton of the profits Of industry can be more honora-
BILE than that which turns them aid the genius of
the artist, the student, or the votary Of science "

STEAMSHIP CRESCENT CRY AGROUND. - The
towJoat Mary Kingsland, Captain Whann, arrived
last night from the steamship Crescent City, and
brought up eleven of her passengers, and Captain
Stoddard. Capt S. reports the ship hard aground,
and he has come up for the purpose of getting men
20 90 down to take the coal out of her. Five of the
Union Line of towbOats the Mary Kngsland
Ocean, Conqueror Shark, Daniel Webster and
Caledonia, took hold Of her all at the same time,
but could not gether off
The following card, handed us by the passen-
gers who have returned to the city, explains the
manner in which the noble vessel got aground, and
shows that she is in a situation it will be difficult
to relieve her from, and one that at this season of
the year, when Norhers prevail, is more or less
dangerous to the vessel:

NIGHT ScHooLs.-By reference to the advertise

Second Municipality open this evening for the sea-
SON. The system of public education, now so well
established in our city, is just pride to the people,
and no part of the system shows more considera-
ton for the popular wants than the Night Schools
in the Second Municipality. Through them the
apprentices whose days are devoted to the interest

lie are indebted for the establishment of these use
ful institutions TO Alderman Lands Of the Second
Municipality Council. He projected them, and
quietly and unobtrusvely worked until they were
in operation May he live to their benefits fully

The Mass MEETING OF THE CHALMETTE
GUARDs.-As the election approaches and demon
stration succeeds demonstration it if each
party was possessed Of the power Of increasing its
resources and strength as the day Of battle ap
proaches In this way the last effort of each party
surpasses its predecessor. The meeting of the
Wings at the St. Louis Exchange, on Wednesday
night, was the greatest they have had during the
campaign, and the gathering Of the Democracy at
the Pontehartrain Railroad Depot, on Saturday
night. fully came up to it. The whole Depot, the
streets on each side, in front and in rear, were
crowded and half adozen orators scattered through
the crowd held forth at the same time. The prin-
cipaI meeting, or so called, though by no means
the largest, was held in the western end of the
Depot, and was presided over by Mr.. Fabre the
president of the Chalmette Guards. This part of
the assembage was addressed by Mr.. Gaayer and
Mr. Charles Gayarre We only heard Mr.. Gaia
yer, and must say that his speech was an admirt-
sOTrF1Itsy ----a---s---L fannd Alexander
audience drinking in the effusions of his great
mind, and thirsting as they drank. 1t is great
loss to the Democrats that indisposition prevents
him from being more active in the campaign
Isaac T. Preston and NJ NJ Reynolds were outside,
and each drew large circle of the Democracy
about him. We have heard the speeches of both
gentlemen quite highly spoken of, particularly that
of Mr. Preston who in his usual clear logical style
made some sledge-hammer blows. The meetings
formed in procession about nine oclock-and an
immense one it was-and moved up town with ban
ners flying and spirits high.

Recorder of the 18th inst has the following para
graph in relation TO the rivers:
Our rivers may be considered as closed for the
present The Jim is the only boat on the Bgbee,
and she cannot get over the shoals without the aid
of flat or barge. We are informed that she is
charging 80 per barrel freight and 50 so for cotton
There are some four boats on the Alabama, all of
which are compelled to carry barges or flats for the
purpose Of lighting over the shoals If this weather
continues long, the rivers will be lower than they
were ever known before. No business is doing in
Mobile in consequence of the state of the rivers.
