SIR am Unexpectedly disappointed in the
performances of my Hippodrome, according to
the published programme for Tomorrow eve
ming. by the accidental breaking of the axle of
my Floral Car; and at the suggestion of mu.
tual friend, / have taken the liberty to beg
Of you to lend me your coach for that evening

you will send an immediate reply to thi.
communication to the law office of Mons. C.

WASHINGTON, April II, 1854.
To Mons r. w. L*****, SIR: Beingin a
dilemma for the want of an appropriate ad-
dress, to be delivered on the occasion of open.
ing the Hippodrome, and having heard that
NJ. L.. has number of patriotic addresses
the recital of some one of which might give
great eeiGt to the first exhibition Of NJ F.'s
HippOdrome, in the city which bears the name
Of the Father Of his illussrious country, pre-
sumes to ask NJ. l.. for the use of such a one
as NJ LIS well known judgment and classic
taste might deem most appropriate for such an
asking so great favor of NJ. L., since he has
been assured that NJ. L. obtained these ad
dresses without cost to himself; and it is NJ
F.'s intention to have NJ. LIS kindness ap-
prOpriately noticed in the papers of the
country.
VI. E. would state that if the receipts at
the Hippodrome are sufficient to warrant him
in making deposit in bank. NJ L***** shall
have preference. But NJ. z. would state that
he has fixed the prices at such rates as will
render any deposit, he hopes, unnecessary.

To B. B. F*****:-M. Franconi's compli-

ventures to request of NJ. f. that he will give
to the opening of NJ. Franconi's Hippodrome
the eclat and brilliant distinction. to prepare
and deliver poetical address upon the occa-
sion.
NJ FrancOni makes this request with the
little embarrassment than he would in any
other case feel, by reason of the facts that NJ
F.'s high poetic talents have already secured
to him great consideration among the acknowl-
edged bards of the land; that NJ. F.'s classic
tastes and requirements excellently qualify
him to appreciate the chaste, yet gorgeous
spectacles, which NJ. Franconi has the honor
TO present for the first time in this modern
Rome also, that N. F.'s voice, that is as re-
no Hned for its power and distinctness, and mu-
sicalness of enunciation, as his imagin alton is
far known for its cultivated richness. render
NJ Z. without question of any doubt, the most
effective and entirely appropriate orator which
could possibly be selected for an occasion of
such brilliant nature. and especially for an au-
dience and a forum so vast

publishing NJ. F.'s address in all the newspa-
pers. NJ. FRANCONI.
