LIFE IN WAsHINGTON.-The New York En-
press editor attended the levee given by the
wife of Governor Brown, Postmaster General,
last week, and says some handsome things
of some of the handsome women he met
there: E--
Miss Saunders, the lovely daughter of the
Postmaster General. is one of the most bril-
liant, beautiful young ladies in Washington.
She has been the re gning belle of the season;
so this, the last grand bali (until after Lent
came off with great ecLat-their palacial man
sion was blazing with light, and the scene
presented, on entering, was dazzling and
bright: diamonds sparkled as the sun; the
toilets were all fresh and new, and we seemed
transported to some fairy bower, of which our
hostess Miss Saunders, was the relgning
queen. She was dressed in white silk, tounc-
ed and tipped with pink swans down; her
diamonds were the most exquisite in the room.
Mrs. Brown cher mother) was in blue, with
the most costly laces. Mrs. Martin wore a
heavy topaz-colored silk, embroidered houn-
ces, very elegantly. Lady Ousley was in ele-
CANT costume, "a heavy pink brocade with
laces and diamonds. Miss Lane looked like
the queen of night in deep black, relieved by
bouquets of deep flowers, tipped with black.
The music was fine, and the dancing kept up
with vigor till two o'clock, A. M. The sup
per was rare feast, every imaginable luxury
in the country being spread on the table.

MT. vernon supper.

The supper given in this city on Tuesday
evening last, to aid in securing from prOfan-
alton the home and grave of GEORGE WASH
INGrON, was not only honorable to the noble
hearted patriotic ladies who prepared it, but
highly creditable to the community. The
occasion was one of peculiar interest, and,
though the weather was extremely cold aud
disagreeable, there was l,rse number Of la
dies and gentlemen present. The supper was
sufficient, in every respect, to satisfy the
tastes and appettes of all, with quite enough
left for another entertainm, Mt.
The ladies of this city Rave long enjoyed a
reputation for good taste the arrangement
of such affairs, and even before taking up our
abode here, we had heard good deal relative
to their faith and success IN their underta-
kings, but we must confess d at our mind vas
not prepared for what met our yes when we
entered the room in which the tab e was spread
for during the whole of the time in which
they were preparing for The occasion, the
weather was very unfavorabl and they must
certainly have labored undtr many di>advan-
tagcs. Neither did we expect 80 large a
turnout of the beauty and gallan ry OF the
city and country: for the evelin was so
cold that il required more than an ordinary
degree OF patriotism to warm one sufficiently
to venture ont.
We shall not attempt a description of the
table, farther than that if was set in the form
of y, and bore all manner of good things,
which were arranged with unexceptionaUle
taste.
The room in which tie company met to
pass the evening, though very large one,
was well-warmed, and brilliantly lighted-so
that there was nothing TO prevent them from
enjoying themselves. And we suppose they
did We left early in the evening, but have
since learned that those who delight in "trip
ping the light fantastic toeh had most joy
Gus time of il.
We have not been advised of the result of
the supper, as to the amount of funds raised
for the noble object in view, but are satisfied
that it will prove creditable TO the liberality
and patriotism of our people. AT any rate,
the ladies of this city deserve the highest
need of honor and praise for their efforts TO
aid in the truly flial and patriotic work OF
hallowing the home and shrine of Washing
ton.
May the nobie-hearted daughters of Amer

earn the everlasting renown of having paid
the highest homage To the Father of our hap

SMALL TALK.-But of all the expedients to
make the heart lean, the brain gauzy, and TO
thin life down into the consistency Of cam.
brio kerchief, the most successful is the little
talk which, in some charmed circles, is courte-
ously styled conversation. How human be-
ings can live ON such meagre fare-how con-
tinue existence in such a famine of topics
on such a short allowance of sense-is a
great question, if philosophy could only search

fairs of the Pennsylvania Bank, have made
their report to Gov. Packer. The individual
account of THOMAS ALLIBoNE, the President
of the Bank, the report says:
Is Unfortunately made up of his own and
the business of the bank; he alleges, under
oath, that large deposits were made to his in
dividual credit by parties not willing to open
accounts in the bank, and that these were from
time to time drawn out on his individual
checks; that very large sums, amounting at
one time to six hundred thousand dollars in a
few days, were deposited by his friends, and
that much of his private account was madeup
of transactions such these, which Were, as
he states. for the benefit of the bank.

Upon the occasion of the Inauguration Of

ON the 22d ult., Mr.. FILLMORE, in response to
an invitation to be present, cent the following
letter:
BUFFALO, y. Y, Feb. LIST, 1858.
GENTLEMEN II have the honor TO acknowl-
edge the receipt of yolr letter of the 9Th ult.,

engagemcnts-are such rs to deprive me of the
pl, ASSURE of accepting your invitation.
Your State is justly ntitl, d to great credit
for erecting this noble monument To her peer
less son ~ tribute of gratitude 10 his memory.
But the fame OF Washington is more enduring
than monumental brass, or sculpturSd marble;
aud when that proud pile OF granite shall
have crumbled to duet, aud that beautiful
bronze statue with which il is crowned shall
be exhibited rs an ancient relic ia SOME future
museum. the name OF Washington will shine
with increased lustre on the brightest page o.
his couutry's history. Surely, then, nothing
which could do or say could add to this un-
dying fame but. nevertheless, | should re
joice ~ testify, 10y my presence Oh this inter

Perhaps thsrH was never a lime when his
unseliish example and pgopht tic warnings

he left paternal /, gacy TO his country Ii
sighted and growing discomfort, north and
south. cannot tail la create anxiety in the
breast of every true patriot.
Al time like this, should rejolce TO meet
