| VAIYsrIsFs.-The popularity Of Valentines seems
to be fast going by The practice Of ndtng poetical
epises, expressive of the feelings and sentiments of
the writer toward the opposite SEX is all very pretty
perhaps, aud sufficiently proper. 1t develops who
say how much poeticai talent; if il does not do that
it certainly encourages an exuberan vegetation Of
| ibymesters. But poets ceased to germnate and
rh!mipg 10 be fostered, through the agency of Naen
tines, when the manufacture Of ready-made lines for
general began TO be established. Thence dates the
decline and prospective fall Of the empire Of St. Vaen
tine. But what has created disgust for this
dainty institution, has been the introduction of repu
sive carcauTes, designed to graty spleen and bad
taste. OF late years, the shops of venders, in the
month of February, have swarmed with wood engrav-
ngs, cheap and hideous, sold Valentines at cent
each and upward But we say it again, the patron
saint of the Nth is under cloud and he is ike to stay
there.
The statistics Of the New-York PostOfice confirm
the opinion that Valentines are going out of date
About fourteen years ago. the lumber of these mis-
svcs received ere each year not short of twenty
thousand, but constant decline ii their circulation
has been noted cince until this year it has scarcely
ceede1 ave thousand Many returned to the Post
Usice in cases where the person addressed refuses to
receive them or cannot be found. Numbers are also
sent in not prepaid, directed TO individuals residing
both in and out Of the city. In such instances the
persons addressed are notified and if they forward to
the Office the necessary postage stamp the letter is
sent on to them The Post Office officials congratulate
will lie suspended altogether.
LOLA MoSTEz AS A WITNEss.-The examination
Of Madame Lola Montez, as witness yesterday, be-
fore j. n. Whiting esq, ended in free fight between
two persons, in which no seriously injured.
The examination was conducted by Mr.. Schermerhom,
to whom Lola made such replies she saw fit, SEEM
ing TO have a supreme contempt for all rules and regu-
lations Of the Courts. Mr.. Schermerhorn asked her if
her real name was not Betsey Watson, to which she
gave no answer she told Mr.. S. she should exercise
the Yankee privilege of answering one question by
asking another and should presently have little
questions to ask him, about raising his hand upon
woman and striking her. Mr. S. asked her if she was
not born in Monrose Scotland, TO which she gave no
answer. lie then asked her if she at time
assistant chan bermad ? Hereupon Madame Lola
laughed heartily and said that if she had been she
should consider il harm, and should infinitely prefer
II to being where she was and exposed to al sort
Of sily triug qucstoHs. Mr.. s. asked her how she
accounted for being 10 India only three months after
she said she was bern in the beautiful town of Lin
erick She told him he would have to find that out
as he seemed to know all about her already; he knew
that her Detsey Watson; that she was born
in Montrose, and that she an assistant chamber
maid and she thought him much better qualified to
answer questions concerning her. than she herself who
evidently did not know much about it. Here Mr.
Seeley objected to any quest ,ns being asked except
such as related strictly to the Impeachment OF the
character of this fellow" (reerrin, to OF the
parties present.
