This evening we have quite hpee-the grand
piazza is thronged. Several of the ladies and gen.
tlemen who are at Congress Hall, have paid their
friends the United States visit, which of course
will be returned. This interchange of the ameni-
ties Of life is very pleasing; il not only causes the
time to pass agreeably, but il sometimes leads to
the formation of acquaintance which often rlpen
INTO sincere and lasting friendship. Almost every
train brings vislters; and who that can come here,
will not HEALTH enjoyment, fashion in all its
variety, beauty, wealth, learning-every luxury,
gaty, festvity, may be had and seen at this hotel
Those whose taste and feelings do not lead them
in that direction, can have quiet retirement, and
all the privacy of their own homes. There are
those shady paths through which, without the
slightest interruption, the elderly lady and gentle
man may walk, and hear
"How the branches moaning to the blast,
Invite the bosom to recall the past,
And seem to whisper, as they gently swell,
Take, whilst thou canst, lingering, last farewell"
In fine, every taste, every desire, every tempe
What more can be desired?
Every day the dining hall presents more bril-.
liant and more crowded appearance. To-day had
| to wait some time before could get in, the rush
| was great. The ladies' dress very elegantly.
Some IN high bodies and short sleeves; this is the
prevailing style White mus with lace pelerines,
and silks, are the materials OF which the dresses
| are composed. Some wear their hair braided,
and Topped up behind some in the Victoria style,
and others curs. ringlets; the last mentioned
form is, in my opinion, the most becoming 1t sets
| off to advantage fine face. On Sunday last Mrs.
| Wetmore was one of the most spendidly dressed
ladies at the table. She wore rich figured dress,
over which was thrown robe of net; high body
and short sleeves, and around the latter was lace
rings, and the back part Of the head was fold of
costly lace. In the evening she was dressed in black
silk, or satin, cannot exactly say which, but |
| think it was the former, which was trimmed ac-
cordng to the rules Of the present fashion. Mrs.
| Little and her handsome sister, hold a prominent
rank in the highest fashionable circle: They are
also very elegant ladies' To-day w. Wetmore;
Esq, and his lady, dlned at Saratoga Lake, and
| ID. Bean, Esq, and lady have left the hotel for Lake
| George, where they intend to rusticate Tor few
days, after which they will return to this sphere Of
| fashion and grandeur.
In conversing the other evening with New
| York gentleman, eminent member OF the forum,
| who is well acquainted with the Indomtable editor
| and proprietor of the Herald, upon the powers OF

for classic grace, whitening rebuke, crushing sar-
casm, and to crown all, the complete annihlatlon
of an antagonist. stands matchess and alone.
| During the famous passage OF arms between the
| great constitutional expeundcr the Blackstone of
the present day, and J. C. Calhoun, it was reported
to the former one morning, IRON various quarters,
''that the war was TO be carried into Africa"
and there he (Webster) was to be used up, (Which
meant that Calhoun would meet Webster in con-
stitutional argument. which is Webster's forte and
vanquish him IN it.) On reaching the Senate
chamber, MIR. Webster, who had the floor, COM
