Corr, .pondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
NEWPORT, Aug. II. 1857
have seen with some dsmay that re Poo's man
has been more detasome in hs account Of the great
Ftte than yours. He gives names, enters amore
into provisions makes dssh too ut costume, aud
dertakes-ob, dangerous experiment to tn white
silk bonnet with blue ribbons, thing not
dreamed Of in the philosophy OF any mlliner OF the
present day. His view Of the eatables seems to have
been early and satisfactory, and | conclude that he
must have made one Of the rather INSCRIPTIONS party
who broke into the canvas "salie d moHger," aud
swept everything before them leaving nothing but dis
content for those who came after them, and almost
laying the foundation (which werc to be deplored of
a third negative poem, entitled Nothing to Eat ="
But in spite of The Posts imposing array Of qusn-
titles it is true that there was much confusion and
trouble in the oommissaris. department; and that the
table fell down; and that Downing setit up again. not
without difficulty; and that Downing was called out
as "thc gentleman from Africa" and made speech,
recommending the Use Of knives and forks, In
stead Of fingers, prescribing small dose Of good
manners, and intoxicating patience in the exsrac.
ton Of the cork, and moderation in the further
treatment of the bottle. 1t is true, moreover,
that the first Eating Party seen to leave the scene
of action in a deporable and apopecc condition. hay
ing scarcely the use of their sealegs any legs OF all
and that they staggered to and fro board the yachts
aerward some - cm losing the race in consequence,
and that MAJ # ,lv, when last heard from, had not
vet been full, .estored to health and digestion So
now.
Passing TO names-we must commend our brother
correspondents Observation-Disclosures whom he has
named were well named, bgt he has left out many.
The prettiest girl in Newport was there and he has
not tod us who she was-nether will /.
AL the Smiths, yrowns and Robinsons were there,
ard a few of the .Oneses. Mrs. Leo Hunter was
there in full bloom and spirits All the Merdlss Of
New-York were there, and come of the Dorrits.
There were cx ambassadors, er.GOvernOrs and ex-
Beauties, and in general way, TIE authors of moth
ing at all, claiming prominent place aad notice.
As for the four English lords depend upon it, there is
some buckram in that story The lords proper, be-
lieve, were but two, and indeed easily recognized
by their position in the hands of the most desirable
chaperoncs, while the young ladies' like flock Of white
doves futtered in their direction.
And apropos now that We on this subject, my
dear TRIBuNE, shall tell you what English lord
is like He is uncommoDly like an English man.
But far be it from US TO seek controversy social
topcs with our Venerable Brother, The Post. This
huge fte is dead now let it also be buried, we will
say, in grateful recollection. II all over, long ago,
and those who celebrated II have toasted elsewhere.
The carapds have been taken down, the tents have
collapsed, the bills have been paid, and Mr.. Wetmore
does not seem TO feel whit the poorer for it. The
yachters are footing accounts at their desks in hot
cities most Of them at least: they have laid
aside the free snd.easy with their tarpaulins
and brandy.fasks, and ere as sober as
fiat, rot still, champagne. The English lords
may be met in the street With an easy straw hat on
their heads and comfortable cigar between their lips.
And so farewell dear TRIBUNE. have tried to give
you an exhaustive view of great subject. Pray you,
lie. il never more be mentioned between us.
