the Queen of Spain for military services rem
dered; and succeeded in so doing.
Now, l could enumcrate a hundred more
such acts Of the British Government; but the
above are quite enough to show why think
it presumptuous in the English Government,
and press, to attempt TO chalk out code Of
morals for us, and why look with contempt
upon any American statesman who takes into
consideration the advices, the wishes, or the
interests of England, in dealing with the
Cuba or Northern Mexico question. As l
hope for salvation, would rather assemble
the convicts of all the State Prisons of the
Union in one mammoth meeting, and take
their opinion on the morality of an enter
prise, than that of the Lords and Commons
of England in Parliament assembled"
The arrivals and departures of steamships,
at and from this port, on Saturday, were so
numerous as to present a very lively scene
in our harbor, from morning till night. AT
about A. NJ, the steamer, Niagara, came
in from England after rather long passage.
At II NJ, the atlantic started for Liverpool.
At 3 PM, the steamers, Georgia and ILL.,
noiS, left this port, the former for Havana
and New Orleans, the latter for Chagres.-
These were followed shortly afterwards by
the steamers, Florida, for Savannah; the
Southerner for Charleston; ard the Roanoke
for Norfolk and Richmond. This wasn't SO
very bad business, for single day-was
it?
On Sunday, about noon, the Pacific arri-
we'd here from Liverpool after run of ii
days. She brought no further intelligence
about the illustrious Hungarian exile. He
was expected to arrive at Southampton, on
the 18th. inst; and great preparations had
been made for his reception, both at that port
and in London. The Liverpool Cotton Mar
ket was quite dull The approaching close
of the Crystal Palace had caused tremen-
dous crush of the natives" and others. On
Monday Oct. 6, there were l07, ,Sl5 visitors
who paid nearly $4,000 for admission
Notwithstanding this immense throng, every
thing went off in perfect order.
The steamer, Europe arrived at Halifax,
from Liverpool, yesterday morning. Moth
ing of interest has transpired in England
since the previous advices.
All our masculine Broadway "loungers," +"
"exquisites," 'bucks," ''bloods." ''men
about town." and others, agree that almost
everything, in the small but noted village of
Gotham, is, at present, completely done up.
Our bellies are deploring the great dearth of
novelty and excitement Of every kind, which
now pervades the city. Notwithstanding
the assertions of the daily papers to the con-
trary, public and private amusements of all
sorts are quite at stand still. There are
no attractions; and although the Theatrical
Season is now far advanced, our theatres are
but very Shiny attended even by strangers.
Talking ofthings theatrical, the notorious
Lola Monies, alias Madame la Comtesse de
Landsielt, is expected to arrive at the Gland
of the free" in the early part of December.
The natural freedom of Lola's manners, how
ever pleasing to the licentious audiences Of
Paris and London, will not, hope, be pat
ronized by the people of this Republic. l
trust that our citizens will give this very free
lady quite a. freezing reception, Lola is talen-
ted however; and she is said to be, not only
most beautiful woman, but also graceful
and agile dancer. Her style of dancing is
said to be quite different from that of either
Taglioni, Carlotta, Grisi, Fanny Elsler or
Cerito. | am inclined, however, to the be-
lief that the lightness of Lola's character far
exceeds the lightness of her dancing.
Yours, Truly, NEWTON.
