Seven consecutive days without one peep at
he sun! Think Of it! An entire week Of clouds
and rain, and not SO much as a single gimlet hole
N the sky for star to twinkle through Well
'as the boys say) you had better believe we be-
gan to think that the "rany season" banished
during the past winter from California, had mi
grated 10 New York city. Talk Of 4"April
Showers" and alternate rain and sunshine! Day
after day we looked for cold Sol,' but in vain.
The misl.toe bough hung in the hall, but that
was all. TIE in some less hapless frolic had
apparently gone into some "old oaken chest, IN
the worlds attic, and would only he discovered

However, just in time to prevent its "mysterl-
Gus disappearance" being chronicled in the al
manacs for 1852, the orb Of day (of which Patten,
the Poet, has said, that Oh battle field once it
"Went down with its blood stained eye,")
has re-appeared, and we enjoying glorious
weather.
The death of Judge Bullard in New Orleans
on the 18th inst, (of which we have just received
news by telegraph, will cause sincere regret in
this city and Boston.
Judge BulIard, historian of Louisiana, and for
many years an eminent jurist in that State, was
one of its Congressional representatives for some
months prior 10 his decease. l have seen him
often in Louisiana. and shared in the feelings OF
love and venera,on in which the people held him.
He was think originally from New Hampshire.
For several years he was President Of the New
England Society in New Orleans. lie was one
of that class of national men, whose patriotism is
not confined to single county or State, but has
arms and heart large enough 10 embrace and love
the whole country, and su its GOOD citizens, with
out distinction Of party.
Little interest is tsit here in the alleged new
expedition against Cuba,' the "mysterious
steamer" &c.
The impression here is that the real purpose
of the conspiracy is to land at st. Domingo, and
overthrow the arbitrary and hated authority of
the black tyrant Soulouque. The island is rich
in agricultural resources and numerous "enter-
prisng white men" are very anxious to put them
to better use than the blacks have done. Besides
they remember the boast of Archimedes, that
give him spot for his fulcrum and with his lever
in ST. Domingo as base for their operation, and
they will overthrow Cuba--or "break trace"
1t is currently reported here that Gen. Quitman
of Mississippi is the master spirit Of the move
ment for the acquisition Of territory.

We have quite territory enough, and the Americans
had better let the w. l. Islands alone.

The Hutchinson family of singing brothers
from the rocks and mountains of New Hampshire
with their torrents of hydropathic and abolition
melodies, were here concert,ng throughout the
late very unpropitous weather They have
charming voices and great musical talent, but
their Personal appearance is marred by very os-

collars turned over the outside of their shoulders
They are, or affect to be, very eccentric and one
