to comfortable existence, are Of course up TO the
highest notch Of Improvement We noticed seve-
raj charming sets of rooms consisting of parlor and
bedroom with bath adjoining, which would have
been too luxurious, had they not been so comfort
able and convenient. The house can now accom-
modate 800 guests, and we do not suppose it will
often lack the full number.
On Thursday evening, the proprietors celebrated
the enlargement by a dinner given 10 a number OF
invited guests. 1t was served up in the Ladies'
Ordinary, which, with its richly onamented cor
nices and mouldngs, its skyight Of ground glass,
painted with arabesque designs, and its elegant
central chandelier, might have served as fitting
banquethaIl for the ancient Greeks. Indeed, We
doubt whether Pericles ever dned in any place
half so beautiful. The dinner was rare piece Of
art had we space we should like to publish the
sumptuous bill of fare entire. The cookery was OF
the choicest kind and the guests were accordingly
in the most cordial humor. The evening passed
of delightfully."-, enlivened by addresses, songs and
sentiments from about half of the company We
cannot exactly call it feast OF reason but It GER
tainly was q flow of soul.

the movements Of the Clerks of New.York, as well
as Of other classes, toward organizing themselves
In Protective Associations, and was not surprised
to see in your paper a communication from Book.
keeper The Accountants of New-York, such as
are worthy need little in the way of protection, but
good Accountant is almost necessarily man Of
education and refinement, and an organized club,
if you please, of such men could do much in the
way OF self-improvement, and would preserve a
character 70 entte Il to respect from the Merchants
of New-York, who would look to il l0r assistance
when assistance was required. The Mercantile
Library Association supplies in other respects the
want OF such club, but the object Of my present
remarks IS to suggest that club be formed whose
members shall be Accountants and members OF the
Mercantile Library Association. The beneficial
results Ct such an association would % great and
need not be limited. AN ACCOUNTANT.
