CUR political hlveis busy and buzzy, IN
anttipation Of the November election
The municipal reform committee, have
mad an excellent nomination for Mayor.
Th9r candidate, Nicholas Dean, former
" President Of the Croton Board, and
now Of the Harlem Railroad Company,
is aman Of great energ-'. sterling integ-
rily and popular mlnnera. 1t is said,
however, that the "Know Nothing" viii
notvote for him, and without their sup
por, il is thought no candidate for public
ofIite can succeed in this city, at the next
election.
Tie Wing nomination for Governor
Myron l.. Clark, it is generally oonced-
ed has The best chance Of success, having
been nominated by the Temperance Re
publican paries. There is some doubt,
however, Wheeler the announcement that
the Native American party will 90 for
him, is not at least, premature. Az pres
ent, however, The Wing State ticket "has
the CALI" as the horse-iockeys say, and
odds are given on Clark and Raymond,
against The field. But the end is not vet.
Negotiations are said 10 be in progress,
between the Silver Greys and the Demo-
Gratis Of the same stripe, and strong
"Union Party may possibly spring out
Of their coalition. Meantime, the Free
Soil Wings are full Of fight and confden.
Of victory.
The croaking about "hard times, .
seems 10 be relaxing in this QUARTER
There IS a good average fall business do
ing in many branches Of retail trade--os-
pecially those, embracing articles Of prime
necessity. Articles Of luxury, as is al
ways the case when money is tight, are
somewhat Of drug in the m rket. The
October and November payments, will
try The bacI-lines OF our merchants, and
a good many who have been considered
"shaky for some time past, will undoubl-
edly, "cave in "
Despite the ''hard-times" however, our
places Of amusements are we'll attended
Grisi and Mario, go to the Fourteenth
Street Opera HOUSE, next week. Hack
eft has barely paid expenses with them
at the Castle Garden.
Talking Of the Opera, reminds me o.
The lady who haunts Mario. The seat
taken for the season, under the name Of
"Coult0,' is filled every Opera night, by
the plaster-of-paris looking female, who
has adopted this cognomen. Hitherto, il
has generally been supposed that she was
a managers myth-a lady got up for ef-
feet, by Hackett, and romanced into noto-
riety, at 80 much per line. This is amis-
take. To my certain knowledge. she is an
English woman Of large fortune-mad as
March hare, no doubt-and just as des-
perately in love with lie Marquis, as a
lurotic might be expected to be. She
brought TO this country large sum, in
Bank Of England notes, and letters Of
credit, drafts, &C., from the London Bank
ing House, of "Coutts s. Co.," to large
amount. ! have seen several Of these
letters, drafts, &c., and know that Brown,
Brothers & Co., cash her bills, without
hesitation. She buys largely at Stewards,
Gonin's and other fashionable stores, pay
ing for her purchases, in fifty pound let
ters Of credit, bearing the signature and
water-mark Of ''CouuS & Co.. ard her
own endorsement. Her real name, is
"Frances Sarah Gyle," which she affixes
in very sane looking hand, TO the afore-
said fifty pounds. Every time she visits
The Opera, she arrays herself IN Z new
costume, and, if / may judge from her ap-
pearance, gives her face a new coat Of
whte,wash. She is staying at the st.
Nicholas, and has with her, very NICE
looking gladys maid" who seems quite
in distress at the vagaries Of her MISS
.ress, whom she IS very anxious to gel
back 10 England again. Mario has had
an interview with the fair dementeo, since
her arrival, but what passed thereat, this
deponent not knowing, cannot say.
Next week, we are to have the State
Agricultural Fair, in Hamilton Square,
All the cattle-sheds and other temporary
buildings, are already up. They cover
nearly eighteen acres; about the space oo-
cupied by the London Crystal Palace
The affair will, undoubtedly, bring to-
gether larger concourse Of spectators
Than was ever assembled on similar oc-
casion, in this country.

Of the Mercury, is to have benefit a
