New YoRK, Friday, Feb. 20.
The Phoenix Bank robbers have received
their final quietus. Yesterday, Levi Cole, who
has been imprisoned for year past on charge
of robbing the Phoenix lBank at Westerly, r.
l., was brought up for trial at Kingston, in that
State, and pleaded guilty. Cole was arrested
in this city some time ago in company with a
fellow named Kanouse, and the Bank lost
$4,000 by their operations. Kanouse receiv-
ed sentence of ten years imprisonment; Cole
was sentenced only for four years, in consider
alton of his plea and the expense he had there
by saved the good commonwealth. What a
phlanthropic culprit, 10 be sure.
AT the Northern Hotel in CORTLAND street, we
had to-day comical adventure, illustrative OF
Women's rights. A lady lately returned from
California, began discussion in the public
saloon, SO the story was, upon that fruitful
subject, but was interrupted by gentleman
who rather rudely combated her assertions in
relation to the position of the fair portion of
creation in the golden land. Hereupon the
lady retired wraihfully, and returning produced
ed brace Of pistols, upon the acceptance Of
one of which by the gentleman aforesaid, she
strenuously insisted. He declining the com.
pliment, pair Of dueling- swords were soon
forthcoming, whereat the redoubtable disputer
of the "strong minded woman" made good his
retreat. The press people got wind of the
story, and tomorrow you will find it in print,
with oil the appropriate embellishments. Quite
an episode, in its way.
Major. General Sanford has placed the Mill.
tary under orders, to parade ON Washing tons
Birthday, the celebration Of which is to take
place on Monday, the 22d falling ON Sunday
next.
The public meeting of respect to the memo
ry Of the LATE J. Fennimore Cooper, is arraag-
ed for Wednesday next, at Metropolitan Han,
when VIM. G. Bryant is 10 deliver the Grafton.
The tickets for MIR. Webster's Grafton on the
Administration of Washington, are being rapid
ly taken up.
The Irish Societies of the city, having be-
come patriotic and being unmindful of sole
leather, have just concluded to join in the cell
ebration of Wasbington's natal.
One Martin Bloomer has been indicted by
the grand jury, for the murder Of his wife, and
so we are to have another capital trial and per-
chance an execution.
The Press of the city are all at loggerheads
in regard to the mooted question:: Shall or
shall not the Maine law in relation to liquor,
expressed are as different as the ideas of ind-
viduals can well be. The Courier and Enqui.
rer, the Journal of Commerce, the Express,
the National Democrat, and the Herald oppose
its passage; the Tribune favors it; and the
Times fulfils its promises of neutrality. The
struggle will be long one, but the hope of
success is small indeed. Yours, Nj.

QUEBEC AND HALIFAX RAILRoAD.--The
project of constructing railroad from Hall
fax to Quebec was under discussion in the Le-
gislature of Nova Scotia by the last accounts.
The route was to pass by way of St. John
aad the valley of st. Johns river. 1t was
proposed that one quarter Of the cost should
be assumed by Nova Scotia, third by New
Brunswick, and fve-twelflhs by Canada. This
was the proposition of the Canada and New
Brunswick delegates. The indications were
favorable to the success Of the project, though
as yet nothing has been resolved upon.

MORE ABOUT LOLA, &c.

An anonymous female correspondent, to
whom we are greatly obliged for her KIND
wishes, at the same time that we feel hattered
at the high estimate she is pleased to place
upon our humble labors, approves in the main,
of the sentiments expressed by us in an article
headed "Cant," which formed the leader OF

have mistaken the reasons which induced the
iargerpor.ion ofthe play-gong ladies to refrain
from visiting Lola Monies. 1t was not, she
feels assured, the "unenviable notoriety" Of
that parsonage. but an invincble repugnance
on the part Of the ladies of Virginia, to the ball
let. We wish we could think SO. but (bless
our stars J the largest house ever congregated
within the walls Of the Theatre lone only ex.
eepted) was attracted by Fanny Elssler! Now,
Lola's dancing is the very essence of modesty
compared to hers, and it is TO this modesty,
that the greater portion of the American Press
object. Had she stood on one leg, and taken
aim at the gallery with the other, she would

But Fanny Elssler is not the only ballet
dancer who has drawn crowds, aye! and FASH
ionable crowds to the Theatre. The Ravels
were more patronised than any other persons
who have staid as long as they did, within the
last ten years, and by ladies, too. If Fanny
Elssler or Cerito were to come here to day,
they would have a crowded house, Of the most
fashionable character, ladies and gentlemen,

We are not TO be understood as entering the
lists in defence of Lola Monies. for we know
nothing about her, except what we have read
in the newspapers. and much thu larger por-

What we do oppose, in all its shapes, is, as we
said last Saturday, Cant-affectation-the
damning of sin which is not agreeable by

7 ours very respectfully,
ANDREW STEVENS,

The New York Times thinks this letter de-
signs to convey the impression that the writer
has it in his power to implicate Forrest very
seriously in the As,or Place Riot, and it says
it knows no one to whom it would sooner look
for information on the subject, than to MIR.
Stevens. The letter it added looks very much
like threat to force MIR. Forrest into the pay
ment of the money. If the letter was written
for that purpose, and the object Of the writer
be accomplished, of course there will be no de-
velopments; or if the Times is right in its con-
lecture, there may be none, on account Of
Stevens own completely in the riot. II neither
of these circumstances interfere, or if s. is
really wronged and F. does not make prompt
reparaton, we may look for some very inte-
resting disclosure.
