 frcm Washington, with their pockets lined with Uncle Sans allowance. Alarge pro- tportion oi these patriots have only recently stepped ont of obscurity into psblic life. and are now ssbsijing into insigniicance with little prospect of being again called upon to l serve their country in the halls of Conefess. The fine weather has given fillip to the retail business in Broadway, bnt trade, gem Ierally, is rather sssiow- for the season. Probably when navigation opens and the great agricultural staples begin to come in, Ne shall have plenty of cur country cousins in town with their wives and daughters and 1 we'll filled wallets. There ought to be a plethrra of money in the $ rural districts for the farmers have been realizing glorious crops; unfortunately many of them have caught the railroad mania, and sunk their money in proftless lines.
 The ..AsseRbled Wisdomn ofthe State is expected here to-day on visit to the ten Governors of the Aims House, who are preparing to lionize and feast our rerresen- ,a,ives during their stay. Of course there is more in this than meets the eye. Per haPs, as one of the ten governors has d large capital in the dis.illery business, Ire may hare aconsdential word or two to say on the prohibitory liquor bill. This meas- ure hangs fire in the Senate. The liqucr dealers here feel certain that it cannot pass Tn its present shape; and with. the search and seizure clauses stricken ou. it would be useless. The Tribune seems to think there is treason in the temperance camp and symptoms of ''caving in'' among the cold i water members of the Senate are certainly 1 apparent.
 The attempted fusion of the Hards and Softs of the democracy in the crucibe of Tammany Hall was partially failure. A re-union of the two elements may possibly take place. hut it will be only limited part nership for special purpose. The entente eordia.e can not be permanently renewed. The death of Bill Poole, the pugilist, in consequence of the wounds he received in the Stanwix Hall affai-, has occasioned a tremendous sensation among the class to which he belonged, and will tend to in crease the natural aDtipathy at present ex- isting between Americans and Irish in this city. That Poole was foully murdered can- not be doubted; and as one or two of the parties arrested are likely to turn State evil dence, the crime will probably be brought home to the perpetrators. It is generally believed that the attack upon Poole, was the result of a conspiracy, and report says that one at least of the conspirators had en- gagged his passage to California in anticipa- ton of the event. Poole's chief regret up- on his death bed was, that he had been the victim of a gang of Irishmen. Morrissey, tue file leader of the enemies of the deceased is accused by the friends of the latter of hay ing ins.igated his assassination. Startling developments are expected during the in- quest. Baker, who is supposed to have fired the fatal shot, has not been taken, but his escape is impossible. The funeral of Poole will take place on Sunday. His re-. mains are to be inferred a: Greenwood, and will be attended to the grave by an immense concourse.
 Bennett, of the Herald, announces new contribution to the literature of the age in the shape of his own "Early Poems." I had no idea that the hard common sense and caus,ic shrewdness of James Gordon had ever been tempered by the influence of the muses. The early poems of such man must, to use his own fayor:e phrase, be {" rich brochure"
 The arrest of Pliny White, the Califor- mia gold shaver and financial tricks.er in general, affords another proof that if scoundrel has rope enough he is pretty sure to hamper himself at last. Stealing dia- monds is an offence that canno, be got round, andsif it be proved on Pliny, he will uuques,ionably go into !. rctiracy" at the State s expense.
 The chronic tendency to explosion which seems to be inherent in Italian opera com panies, has just been exempli6ed at the Academy of Music. The company is bro. ken up, delicious series of recriminations IS in progress betweenthe empressario and his troupe, and be,wcenthe members of the troupe themselves. Maretzek, the musical director, is savagely satirical; Ole Bull, the manager, diplomatic and dignifed the pri- ma donnas at sword points; and the poor chorus singers miras iheir pay, and in wan. of dinner The disbanded artistes are ts have benefit, the house being placed a. their disposal for one night free ofcost, and the season IS to recommence under new regime if possible. Ole Bull is accused of Pocketing seceipts, and forgetting to pay salaries. There are, however, two sides
