The clay Medal Committee, and Governor Jones,
Of Iennessee-Kossuth and the Ladies IN the ON
mibus- Theatrical on the Tapis, &c., &c.,
The New York committee, with the duplicate
Clay medal has arrived here, and will present the
medal to the old chief at the earliest opportunity
The arrival of Mr.. Ullmann and his friends, re.
minds me of the rumor that these gentlemen had
with laudable degree of patriotism, hit upon a
plan by which they fondy hope all difficulties will
be cleared away in selecting whig nominee at the
convention. 1t is less than to throw all the three
candidates overheard and unite upon Governor JONES'
Of Tennessee. The Governors recent visit to New
York threw him into the way of many of the Presi-
dent makers in Gotham, and the plan is progressing
very nicely. Perhaps, however, these gentlemen
were not aware that there is fcud between Mr.
Jones and large body Of Tennessee whigs which
would inevitably lose the vote of that State; and
not only so, but create bad feeling generally, which
would place his chances OF success in moro than
doubtful point Of view elsewhere. Try again, gen.
tiemen, and when you make up your minds to aban-
don your friends, who depend upon you, do it for
man who has some chance of success.
kossuth's scjsurn here created not the slightest
excitement He called upon several Senators, and
paid his respects He occupied one parlor only, and
half dozen sleeping rooms, at the National, which
had not even flag hung out to tell of the greatness
within. AT Rchmond, the ON nbus which conveyed
passengers to the depot, happened to have a, few
ladies in it, when Kossuth made his appearance
He insisted upon the ladies being turned out, de-
carng he required an omnibus for himself but upon
the driver threatening to 60 without him, he at
length got in. He then again rudely called upon
the driver to turn the ladies out, when the Jehu
ended his importantly by declaring that if he did
not remain quiet he would put him out of the
omnibus altogether. The Ex-Governor, upon this,
put up with the indignAy of riding in the same om-
nibus with American ladies. This incident is
vouched for by highly respectable gentleman, who
witnessed it.
The Seguns have been playing at the theatre for
couple Of weeks with less success than their merits
deserve--principay, however, in consequence of
the bad weather. Quite amusing scene took
place on Thursday evening. After the operate
ballet Of the "Bayadere," long intermissfon 90
cured sorcy trying the patience of the parquette.
At length the curtain rose, and the manager came
forward. very much agitated, and declared to the
astonished audience, that in consequence of cir
cumstance he could not explain, the performances
must abruptly terminate. Immediately after Mr..
Flemng's disappearance, Mr.. George Jordan, an
excellent actor and great favorite here rushed
out breathess and pale and declared that the chase
attack was levelled at him-that he was to play
IN the farce. which was gentee petite comedy, and
that in order to do tjustice, the carpet
sary; but the manager and the prompter combined
to refuse to let the carpet 60 down, and ho would
not play unless it was. During this Speech the drop
was hastily lowered, and Jordan found himself shat
OIL the stage. The ladies look frightened, and made
their escape as rapidly possible. Meantime,
cheers were given for Jordan, and groans for the
manager, until at length the gas being shut OFF, all
parties adjourned fora drink.
Great complaints made about the manage
ment, and the want Of courtesy too often displayed
at the box office. merely aude 10 it, feeling cor
tain that the excellent lessee will attend to the hint
before il is too late
