Editors Crescent--The glarious 9Th dawned
brightly here in Gotham, but miss the boom
| ing of the big guns with which you of the Cres-
| cent City are won't to welcome the ever to be
remembered anniversary of the stirring scenes
of Chalmette. The day, however, is not alto
gether unnoticcd here. A portion of the mill
tary is out, and grand military ball comes eff
tonight at Tammany Hall. The rapid abate-
ment of the Kossuth fever has left our city some
what listless and dull, the racy details of the
Forrest trial not even possessing sufficient inte-
rest to keep up the public pulse. This tedious
case continues to drag its slow length along, and
new developments are daily being made. Char
acter after character is drawn into the vortex
of this legal Maelstrom, and the wrecks, that its
returning eddies are constantly throwing up,
| astonish the sober minded and virtuous. A
series Of delinqueneies in high life has been un-
yelled to the eyes Of the million, which puts to
blush many of the most highly colored reminis-
cences of the Court of Louis lie Grand Com
ments are made with most uncharitable free

The condition of many of the Hungarian exiles
now in this city is truly deplorable. Comfort
ing themselves with the enthusiasm which was
awakened by the coming of Kossuth, they for a
time labored under the pleasing delusion that
they were in land literally flowing with milk
and honey, but they have now awakened to the
sad reality of their situation. In strange
land, unacquainted with our language, and

will suffer for the actual necessaries of life 1t
is proposed to use q portion of the money raised
for the cause of liberty in Hungary, to provide
for the wants of Kossuth's hungry followers
here, and I think the idea good one. After a
bit of flare up between the old and the new
Board of Aldermen, matters have been arranged
and things are going on as usual. An attempt
to run out our efficient Chief of Police, Matsell,
because he will not work we'll in party traces at
the polls, has proved Intellectual, and the result
has given general satisfaction Mr. Morgans,
late President of the Board of Aldermen, has
been presented by his confreres with a hand
some service of plate.
The pretty Lola Monies is still tripping it at
the Broadway with great success. She has turn
ed the heads of the usual number of young gen
tlemen in white kids, and may be considered the
" Item" of the day. 1t is her intention to
make tour of the South, and you will proba-
bly,, ere long, have an opportunity of criticising
her face, figure and pas in NewOrleans. She
has thrown off allegiance to all Major Domos,
and now keeps her own Bank account, leaving
two of her former impresarios, Mr.. E. P. Willis
and Col. Bolo, to quarrel about past trans
actions. The prejudice which at first existed
among the ladies towards the fair danseuse is
wearing away. and the audiences of the Broad
way now present a very pleasing sprinkling of
| the angelic portion of our population.
| The Astor Place Opera House is closed for the
present, but it is to be re-opened by Maretzek
| on new plan, and you will not have this really
! talented troupe in NewOrleans, as was anticipa-
ted. / do not know how Maretzek will arrange
matters with Placide, to whom he was engaged.
Tom will probably compel him to sing a song
of six-pence,' and some thing considerable
higher 1t has been correctly ascertained dur
ing the last season at the Astor Place, that white
kids, dress coats, and shirt collars of peculiar
cut, are not the most healing prescriptions to an
| attennated treasury, and when the house opens
| again, the management have determined to be
l blind to any thing rated above hickory shirt
provided it be accompanied with the necessary
