The WIDow OF ALEXANDER HAMIroN.-Ex-
tract from letter dated New York, August I'D,
1851. "We sometimes speak OF Mrs. +, as
very remarkable woman of her age, at 50. She Is
not more SO than the widow Of Alexander Ham
ilton, out first Secretary of the Treasury under
Washington. She is now ninetystour years Of age,
and is in fine health and spirits. On my return
from Fort Lee, to-day, received letter from her,
containing request that would call and see her..
The letter was written in as clear and steady
hand, as if she were not more than ifty ! re-
ceiyed several letters from her last winter dated
at Washington, written in the same way. This
letter was dated Aug. Goth, 1851. She was to be
found, she informed me, at MIR. Schuyler's, in
to see her, and think of my surprise in finding
that she had taken the cars for Connecticut only
an hour before. She told me in her last interview
that her husband wrote the outline of his papers
in "The Federalist" on board of one Of the North
River sloops, while on his way to Albany, a jour
ney Cor FATHERS voyage) that, in those days usually
occupied week and that public business so filed
up his time, that he was compelled to do much of
his studying and his writing while travelling.

The CELEsTIALs AT A THEATRE.-A Sacra-
mento paper mentions the appearance of fve-and-
twenty Cinnamon at the Pacific Theatre in that
city, short time ago.-They had never seen any
thing like it, in the Flowery Kingdom, that was
evident, and their enjoyment was proportioned to
the novelty Of the exhibition. There was only
one difficulty in the way and that was, that they
did not seem to know when it was the proper time
to 60. Every time the curtain fell, they thought
the show was at an end, and began to move to-
ward the door. They had once reached il, when
they were brought back by the band, which struck
up lively air. They behaved, in the mentme
with great gravity and decorum, until the dancing
began. Then they seemed to have lost their pres
ence of mind altogether, and went into absolute
ecstacies, clapping and appauding with the great
est enthusiasm. They apparently thought it
would be carrying selfindugence too far, to attend
any longer, and so they took their leave incon-
tinenty, bowling gracefully to the crowd around
the door as they withdrew.

our sales have not been confined to the CITY, but have
been extended over a large extent Of country, and we
take pleasure in being able to bear testimony to their
uniformly good character and standing abroad-that
for finish and workmanship they will compare favor
ably with any-but especially for he substantial quail
tiles of strength, stiffness, and soundness, they are I'M
surpassed by any other brand. We ais confidently
believe that their mode Of manufa cturing nails from
hammered iron, and from the solid slab, Is the best
calculated to give strength and ~toughness to The nail.
as we'll as avoid the tendency to flaws and splitting
which are the too common defects of nails generally.
