EXcHANGE HoTEL.-We an apology not only
TO Mr. BALLARD, the excellent lessee of this favoure
and fashionable Hotel, but also the travelling pub
llc for nothavng, eavIerday called attention to
the superb accommodations provided at the Exchange
Tor soJourners lii city.
Situated IN a retired part OF the city, vet within one
square OF the centre of BUSINESS the Exchange hap.
ply combines IN Its location, essential REQUISITES
Tor the comfort of tue trayellerthe quetude of phi
Vate mansion with the publicity of fashionable and
elegant hotel. During the past summer the Stockbol
ders caused the Exchange to be thoroughly over
hauled. 1t has not only been painted and parer-
ed IN the handsomest mlnner but sucb imnrove
ments made in the interior arrangements as e,;oe-
rlence served TO suggest 1t has also been newly
furnished by he present Lessee, in a style combin-
ing comfort with elegance and may safely
challenge comparison with any hotel In the Union.
Indeed we question whether its equal can be
found Without entering into minute details, we will
SIMPLY remark, that every comfort every luxury which
he most tastidous could desire may be enjoyed at this
hotel, The parIours superb; the lodging rooms
elegantly furnished with every requisite for comfort;
whilst the tables display to the adv antage every
delcacy which an uneq al led market affords. 10 adj
dltion to all these Inducements, and above them all,
may be estimated the cordial and hosptabe manner
OF Mr. Ballad and the prompt aud polite attentions
OF his assistants. These she'd charm over the place.
and must render the Exchange one OF the most popu-
lar hotels IN the city laready enjoys we are pleased
10 learn, an enlarged and liberal patronage-may it be
speedily quadrupled.
We cannot close this brief notice without mention.
ing the welcome intelligence the former patrons of
the Exchange, that Mr.. Ballard retains that Prince of
Directors Mr.. John Dahberg-famiarly knowu by
the sou6'iquet OF "John Sweden" ne still presides
over the most important department Of the hotel, and
through his aendan dspenses the good things of this
lie with his usual gracefuness and exacutude MAY
his shadow never be Iess''
Ii Is also due to our enlefprising townsmen Messrs
Doggett d Anderson, TO say, that they performed an
important part in refng the Exchange--the papering
and uphosering having fallen to their lot. No better
commentary their skill and taste can be furnished
than that afforded by an inspection of the ineroro the
Exchange.

The CUBAN PKIsoNEas.-Ex-Pres TYLER has
written letter to Caderon de la Barca, the Spanish
Minister soliciting his intercession Tor the release of
all the Cuban prisoners. Mr., Tyler SAYS if sacrifice
was wanting TO deter others from the commission of a
similar offence it has been offered up. The vengeance
OF great State has fallen terribly and fatally and to
restore the small number in custody to their friends
and homes would speak more effective tale than
would ever issue from the dungeon the gibbet.
